<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Danforth says:
::Takes his seat next to the FCO and breathes a sigh, releasing some of the tension he's been keeping inside::

CSO_Taliza says:
::This time is sitting next to the new FCO, on the opposite side of the CTO::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks into the briefing room and glances around. Sits down at a table and looks around, pulling out a PADD::

XO_Kerst says:
::Enters Briefing Room and looks around, walks to head of the table::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Waves to the CSO in a friendly gesture:: CSO: How are you doing, Mr. Taliza?

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Sits at the table on the other side of the CTO::

OPS_Shirley says:
::Walks into the Briefing Room and sits next to the CMO: CMO: Welcome aboard.

XO_Kerst says:
All: All right, the Captain is unavoidably detained with matters I cannot go into right now so we will start with out him.  Where do we stand, Chris?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the OPS:: OPS: It's nice to be back.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Nods to the Cadet:: CIV: Mr. Ferrone, I trust life on Kootenai is a bit more exciting than the Academy?  I hope you're adjusting well.  This is a lot to take in for anyone.

CIV_Ferrone says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.  I've been adjusting well, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
::Loudly:: CTO: Mr. Danforth!

CNS_Alana says:
::Walking into the Briefing Room, making herself comfortable at the table::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Startled by the way the XO yelled at the CTO::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Shuts mouth and sits up straighter if that's possible::

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: Yes, Sir.  The weapons systems on board the Erie have been checked out and rated at 105%.  I'd like to get it to 110% by the end of the day.  The ship can be run with just the senior staff, but it would be better if we at least had a skeleton crew.  I'm looking at instituting a series of new evasive and offensive maneuvers but I want to run them through a few more simulations.

XO_Kerst says:
::Nods:: CTO: And what about in station?

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: We've focused mostly on defense on board the station since the station isn't very mobile.  We've got a few surprises in case anything happens here.  Investigations, however, have not progressed much.  No leads about the crystals yet, but we think we're close.  It's possible we'll get a break sometime soon.

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: I'd like to recruit Mr. Ferrone to help out.  I think his talents would be well used in this area.

XO_Kerst says:
CTO: Okay, after this meeting I want you to start interviewing vendors on the promenade, see if you can find anything out.

XO_Kerst says:
CTO: Agreed.

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  Mr. Ferrone and I will take care of it.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Anything new to report?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, I've started recalibrating the sensors to pick up the elemental traces of the crystals on long-range, short-range and internal sensors.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: If those crystals are either here or on their way here, we'll know about it.

Host XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Good.  CNS: Anything more on our suspects?

CNS_Alana says:
XO: My concern is that we are careful to not make every person on the station suspect for being a member of these Factions or of being the carriers of the crystals.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: I could of course walk around and see if I can sense any one feeling guilty or overly excited about what they were doing but that would be ridiculous and take forever!  How can we safely weed out these suspects?

CSO_Taliza says:
CNS: Counselor, once my staff is finished with the sensor calibrations, we can pick out whoever has them.

Host XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Do we have a profile we can use to narrow the list down of possibles to something manageable?

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Unfortunately Sir, the possibilities could be anyone.  Remember the members of the factions are from all over the known Federation territories.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: If the crystals have already passed through here, the sensors may be able to pick them up if they're within range of long-range sensors.  However, if they're out of range, we'll have to go hunting.

Host XO_Kerst says:
All: Okay, worse case, what do we do if the crystals have already passed through the station and aren't here anymore?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Looks at the XO but doesn't say what she's thinking::

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: We find out where they've gone and track them down before they can do anything.  I think we send a small team to infiltrate the Order of Rameus.  We go down to the planet and find out what happened.

CNS_Alana says:
CSO: How much longer will your calibrations be?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Nods as the CTO said aloud her thoughts::

CSO_Taliza says:
CNS: Goode and Plenty are working on them as we speak.  Should be done within the hour.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Knows that the CTO will send him on the infiltration mission...lovely::

Host XO_Kerst says:
CTO: Agreed, but only if we know the crystals are there, not before. We don't want to tip our hand.

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: Agreed, Sir.  ::Nods sternly::

OPS_Shirley says:
XO: We could deploy the runabouts to scan each ship that comes in and leaves the station.

CNS_Alana says:
CSO: It seems that Goode and Plenty will have their work cut out for them, hope it does not get too sticky for them.

Host XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Prep some runabouts just in case. We'll try doing the scanning from the station. The extra runabouts may attract attention so I don't want to use them if we don’t need to.

OPS_Shirley says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host XO_Kerst says:
FCO: Work with the CSO to make sure every ship in the area is scanned, coming or going.  We need to know if the crystals are there or not but do it discreetly.

CSO_Taliza says:
CNS: It won't, Counselor.  I'll make sure of it.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Nods:: XO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears the FCO assigned to him and smiles::

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Clears his throat and slightly raises his hand::  Anyone: Can the crystals be hidden from our scanners?

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: As long as the sensors are calibrated for the trace elements in those crystals, they cannot be hidden.

CSO_Taliza says:
<Goode> *CSO*: Goode to Taliza.

CNS_Alana says:
::Wonders if perhaps, they are taking a too aggressive approach to this situation::

CSO_Taliza says:
*Goode*: Go ahead, Johnny.

FCO_Thomson says:
All: Well, unless they are shielded in some way.  ::Trails off::

Host XO_Kerst says:
CIV: Good question, CSO?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: One moment, Sir.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Glances around the room::

CSO_Taliza says:
<Goode> *CSO*: Sensor calibrations are complete.

CSO_Taliza says:
*Goode*: Acknowledged.  Taliza, out.

Host XO_Kerst says:
CMO: Good to have you back Sovok, anything to add to the discussion?

CMO_Sovok says:
XO: No Sir, not at the moment.

CSO_Taliza says:
All: To answer Cadet Ferrone’s question, shielding cannot hide the crystals from our recalibrated sensors.  I've seen to that.

Host XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Does anybody have any questions for the others concern the reports from before?

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Has the consideration been made that perhaps the Orlandrians might have the crystals right now and perhaps not telling us?  CSO: Suppose they do, are you ready to scan them?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Looks around as he has no questions::

CSO_Taliza says:
CNS: Of course.

Host XO_Kerst says:
::Considers:: CNS: Possibly, but for what purpose?

CNS_Alana says:
XO: We never know exactly what purpose is really being had, now do we?  We should look at all the possibilities!  Suppose our suspects are right under our noses?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Looks around, having a question, waiting for the CNS to respond first::

OPS_Shirley says:
::Sends note to the CTO’s PADD: Maybe you should have some your guy out of uniform?  Just a thought:::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I can answer that, Sir.

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: Sir?  If it's all right with you, I'm going to take Cadet Ferrone and begin investigating.

Host XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Agreed, follow up on it and try to find out one way or the other but discreetly if possible.

CSO_Taliza says:
CNS: Ensign Goode has informed me the calibrations are complete.  If the crystals are on the station, we should know about it.

CNS_Alana says:
::Directing her attention to CSO then nods to the XO::

Host XO_Kerst says:
FCO: You look like you have a question?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Eyes widen:: XO: Aye, Sir, I was thinking about what the Chief Engineer suggested, about focusing on the coolant system, if the weapon should get put together.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Stands up and motions for the CIV to follow::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Follows the CTO as ordered::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Waits for the CIV outside the briefing room door::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Stops outside the door:: CTO: Sir.

Host XO_Kerst says:
FCO: Yes, but one thing at a time. First we find the crystals then deal with them in whatever state they're in.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Frowns but nods:: XO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Begins walking with the CIV::  CIV: Mr. Ferrone, if you were trying to exchange some stolen goods, where would you go?  ::Enters the turbolift::  Promenade.

Host XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Okay if there are no other questions?

CIV_Ferrone says:
::With the CTO::  I'm not sure, Sir.  I would never deal with stolen goods.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Looks surprised at the CIV for the intelligent answer:: CIV: Good answer, Cadet however where do you think you would be the least likely to be noticed on a station?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Shakes head:: XO: No, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Waits for the dismissal::

CNS_Alana says:
OPS: When we are done here, I would like you to open a subspace channel to the Orlandrian homeworld.  I will need to do some research.

Host XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Okay, then FCO, CSO start on those scans. OPS, prep those runabouts then coordinate with engineering, CNS, you have you're assignment. CMO, I hope it's not needed but better have Sickbay prepped just in case.  Dismissed.

CIV_Ferrone says:
CTO: Sir, right under our noses, Sir?  Do we have a security office on the Promenade?

OPS_Shirley says:
CNS: I have already linked with their computer.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the XO::

OPS_Shirley says:
XO: Sir, recommend since the CEO and EO are not here you have engineering report to me.

CIV_Ferrone says:
CTO: Perhaps one of the shops near our security station, Sir?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Stands up, wondering why OPS would prep runabouts but heads to her station::

CTO_Danforth says:
CIV: Right under our noses.  ::The doors to the turbolift open and they step out heading toward the Galaxy Club::

CNS_Alana says:
OPS: Great, then I can join in in my office, please make sure I am linked up.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Follows CTO towards the Galaxy Club::  CTO: Sir, are you sure I'm allowed in there?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Follows FCO out of Briefing Room to her station:: FCO: Well, Ensign, want some help applying the sensor mods?

OPS_Shirley says:
XO: Sir recommend since CEO and EO are not here you have Engineering report to me, Sir.

CTO_Danforth says:
CIV: Or at a bar my young Cadet.  Lots of people either too drunk to care or too busy to mind.  Just stay close.  I'm counting on your perspective to help us out.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: Umm, I think I can handle it, Sir, but if you want to help, that would be Okay, too.

Host Bartender says:
::In the Galaxy Club wiping down the bar, apparently very grumpy::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Those were my orders.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Walks into the Galaxy Club and approaches the barkeep:: Bartender: Hey, Bob, how are you doing?

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Still following CTO::  CTO: Sir, isn't this for officers only?  I'm just a Cadet.  ::Shuts up once they get inside::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands and gathers PADDs from the table then leaves Briefing Room::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Finally exits the Briefing Room slowly and enters the turbolift:: Sickbay.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Nods:: CSO: Of course, Sir.  ::Moves over and starts configuring the sensors::

Host Bartender says:
::Gives a grumpy look to the CTO:: CTO: So?  What do you want?  Can't you see I'm busy?  ::Continues to wipe down the bar::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Looks back at the Cadet:: Bartender: Well, well...look at this.

OPS_Shirley says:
::Gets up and heads out to his station and preps all runabouts::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Points to the cadet:: Bartender: You serving minors now?  ::Takes out his PADD and begins to make notes::  No one even stopped him at the door.  He smells of Romulan Ale.

Host XO_Kerst says:
OPS: No, I'll need you in ops, get those runabouts ready, then make sure the sensors have all the power they want. Also ensure weapons and shields are ready at a moments notice. Also check the status of the Erie.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Looks around::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Pulls up a report of arrivals and departures:: CSO: Sir, I'll start scanning the ships that will be departing first.

Host Bartender says:
CTO: Look at what?  ::Looks over to the CTO as he makes notes on his PADD::  Hey, what are you doing there?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Arrives in sickbay and preps some tools in silence, glancing around and looking to see if anyone is entering::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Helps FCO:: FCO: Good idea.  I'll take a look out for those scheduled to arrive within the next hour.

Host Bartender says:
::Glances over at the young cadet:: CTO: And who is your friend there?  ::Nods to the Cadet:: He doesn't look old enough to be in here!

CTO_Danforth says:
Bartender: Well, BOB, I'm making a report for the Captain.  I think you'll be owing a small fine for this violation.

CNS_Alana says:
::Makes the journey to her office with her head buried in the PADD reports as she enters and sits down at her computer::

Host Bartender says:
CTO: What violation?  My rent is paid through the end of the year!  Minors?  He followed you in here and he hasn't had a drink yet!

CTO_Danforth says:
::Looks at the Cadet nonchalantly:: Bartender: He's not with me.  I think you're serving minors.

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.  ::Points to the report she had pulled up:: This is our schedule for the next few days.

CIV_Ferrone says:
Bartender: I am 18, I'll have you know.

Host XO_Kerst says:
::Leaves Briefing Room and walks across Ops towards Ready Room::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Thanks.

Host Bartender says:
CIV: 18, ehh??  You don't look a day over 16.  ::Grumbles::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Continues writing:: Bartender: Of course this could all go away.  ::Waves PADD::  If I get some cooperation.

Host Bartender says:
CTO: Cooperation?  Cooperation with what?

CIV_Ferrone says:
Bartender: Thanks for the beer, Bob!

OPS_Shirley says:
::Checks the Erie’s power and weapons see they are all ready:: XO: Erie Is ready as she will ever be, Sir.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Scans a Bajoran freighter, the first ship scheduled to depart::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Smiles at the CIV playing a long::  Bartender: Information.  You're a virtual repository of information.

Host XO_Kerst says:
FCO: Good, now the hard part, we wait.

Host Bartender says:
CTO: What kind of information?  I don't know anything!  I'm just a poor stiff trying to make a living!

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Holds his stomach:: Bartender: Bob, that beer isn't agreeing with me.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Quickly hands the Cadet the closest drink out of the hand of a Ferengi::  

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Brings the drink to his lips and pauses, lifting an eyebrow to see the bartender's reaction::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Swivels in his chair in his Ready Room.  Regrets having to miss the Briefing but had to speak with Admiral Mitchell regarding their current mission::

CNS_Alana says:
::Opens link to Orlandrian homeworld and begins to speak to officials about the last know whereabouts of the Argollian Crystals::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks long-range and short-range sensors for ships to arrive within the next hour and scans them for the crystals::

Host Bartender says:
CIV: Listen here you little....You just turn around and march yourself out of here before I come out from behind this bar and toss you out myself!

CTO_Danforth says:
Bartender: Threatening a Cadet of Starfleet?  I'm sure that's a violation too.  ::Continues writing::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Takes a drink and swoons as he realizes the drink isn't synthehol::

FCO_Thomson says:
::No sign of the crystals, but there seemed to be too much freight for the manifest::  CSO: Ummm, Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Yes?

Host XO_Kerst says:
::Glances at the Ready Room doors before taking a seat in the big chair::

Host Bartender says:
CIV: Hey, you got money to pay for that??

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Still swooning:: oooOOOooo

Host Bartender says:
::Reaches over the bar and grabs the glass from the CIV::  CIV: Give me that!  Get out of here!

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: We should just concentrate on the crystals for now and not worry about other inconsistencies?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Grabs Bob by the collar in a very Riker sort of way:: Bartender: Look here, Bob.  I need information and I need it now!  Is that clear?  IS THAT CLEAR?!

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Looks at CTO.  Thinks he's really going to get sick::

CNS_Alana says:
::Senses uneasiness from those she talks too, but cannot detect anyone lying about the answers to her questions::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Thinks to himself that the CIV took a little too much::

Host XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Monitor the ship to station communication for anything, unusual. They may try to set up a swap before boarding the station.

OPS_Shirley says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Better file inconsistencies to security.

Host Bartender says:
CTO: Hey!  No need to get pushy!  Ask your stupid questions!  I can't guarantee I'll answer though!  ::Pulls away from the CTO tugging on his shirt to straighten it out::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Stumbles to a seat and puts his head on the bar::

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: Aye, Sir, will do.  ::Makes not of the freighter and sends info off to security::

CTO_Danforth says:
Bartender: I'm looking for some smugglers.  They would be exchanging some rare crystals, probably in a knapsack or something.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Sometimes those inconsistencies could yield a jackpot for us in our search.

Host Bartender says:
::Looks at the CIV with his head on the bar:: CIV: And don't you go getting sick in my place!

CTO_Danforth says:
Bartender: You can't miss these crystals because they emit a very strong pulse, strong enough to turn Romulan Ale red.  Had any red ale lately, Bob?

Host Bartender says:
CTO: And what makes you think they came in here?  I run an up and up business here!

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Shifts his head and spots the Ferengi grinning at the ill Cadet::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Begins scanning another ship, this time a Ferengi ship:: CSO: What do you mean?

Host XO_Kerst says:
CSO/FCO: Anything on those sensors?

Host Bartender says:
CTO: No, I don't serve Romulan Ale in here!

FCO_Thomson says:
::Looks at the XO:: XO: Not yet, Sir.

OPS_Shirley says:
XO: Maybe we should go ahead and move our back-up crew to the Erie, Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks a multi-species-run freighter entering LRS:: FCO: If security finds those crystals within the extra cargo, then that would be the best.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Reaches behind the counter and pulls out some red Romulan Ale::  Bartender: You don't?

Host Bartender says:
CTO: And your buddy there is turning a bit green.  He better not get sick in my place or I'm going to the station Commander personally!  I have rights you know!  And put that back!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs, files a report regarding his conversation with the admiral and deletes all records of it from the station computer, sends a priority communication to Cmdr. Kerst that he will be needing an immediate report regarding what went on in his absence::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Not quite yet, Sir.  However, Thomson found inconsistent cargo on a freighter.  I'm scanning another one just entering long-range sensors.

Host XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Anything on the internal sensors?

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: Oh.  ::Finally understanding:: But the scans are set up to detect the crystals, so unless the scans are wrong, these aren't crystals.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Smells something foul and tries to breathe through his mouth:: Hooo….. Haaa…

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: True.  XO: Checking now, Sir.  ::Focuses on internal sensors::

Host Bartender says:
::Looks at the CIV:: CTO: Look at him!  He's starting to hyperventilate!  Get him outta here!

CTO_Danforth says:
Bartender: Bob, I'm going to make this clear only once.  There's a new Sheriff in town and he's pretty stiff on the rules.  I don’t think the Captain would give two bits to a bartender who breaks the law.

Host XO_Kerst says:
::Sees a report from the CO requesting a report.  ::Stands::  CSO: You have Ops.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host Bartender says:
CTO: What law did I break?  I told you, I'm paid up till the end of the year!

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Gurgles and closes mouth::

Host XO_Kerst says:
::Heads to the Ready Room doors and rings the door chime::

Host Bartender says:
::Waves his hand in front of his face and grimaces at the odor coming from the CIV::  CTO: Geeshh...don't you make these Cadets take a bath?  Geeeshh......

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks up from his terminal display::  XO: Come.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Another negative scan, moves onto a Starfleet shuttle::

CTO_Danforth says:
Bartender: Serving Romulan Ale, serving minors, engaging in smuggling activities.  Do I need to go on?  ::Hopes the CIV is okay::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Did you get my note the other day?

Host XO_Kerst says:
::Enters the Ready Room:: CO: You wanted to see me, Sir?

CIV_Ferrone says:
::The wave of the bartender sets off his stomach::  

Host Bartender says:
CTO: Okay, okay!  Geesh....just get him outta my place now!  ::Looks to the CIV::

FCO_Thomson says:
CSO: From yesterday, Sir, yes, I did.  I've just been concentrating on this mission.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Motions::  XO: Yes, Commander, please have a seat.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::"Pops" all over the bar and a bit on the bartender's pants and boots::

OPS_Shirley says:
CSO: Sir, maybe we should move our back up teams to the Erie where we won’t have to wait as long to launch is need, Sir.

Host Bartender says:
CTO: Oh great, now look what he's done!  You're gonna clean that up!  ::Looks at his pants and boots and grimaces::

Host XO_Kerst says:
::Takes the offered seat::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Nods for the CIV to go ahead and wait for him outside::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Looks at the mess and sees the CTO motioning him out::

CSO_Taliza says:
OPS: Great idea.  Make sure it's done.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Wipes his mouth and smiles that his work is done.  Staggers out of the bar::

CTO_Danforth says:
Bartender: I'll tell you what, Bob.  I'll let you go on your recent violations and you'll give me the information I need.  How about that deal?

OPS_Shirley says:
::Taps panel and let back up crew to board the Erie and have it ready:::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Well, nothing yet on external or internal sensors.  How are you doing with that shuttle?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Shakes head:: CSO: Nothing yet, Sir, almost done.  There are three more ships after this one.

Host Bartender says:
::Wipes the “stuff” from his pants then leans over the bar towards the CTO and talks quietly:: CTO: Now, just a few hours ago some ugly guy comes in and orders a drink.  He takes the drink to that table over there.  ::Nods to the table in the dark corner::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Leaning against wall for support, waiting for the CTO to exit the bar::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Listens intently and keeps his COM open for the CIV to listen::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: I'm checking for the other scheduled-to-arrive ships for whenever they enter sensor range.  When we both get a moment, you open for that drink?  I'll help you with the ropes of being an FCO on a station like this.  I served briefly as FCO of Avalon Station.

Host Bartender says:
::Looks around to make sure no one sees him whispering to the CTO::  CTO: Then a bit later this broad comes in,  a real "Looker" if I might add and orders a drink.  She sits down with her back towards the ugly guy in the corner and slings her bag over an empty chair at her table.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Closes his report and looks up again::  XO: Commander, I apologize for not being able to attend the briefing, but I needed to speak with Admiral Mitchell regarding a few details surrounding our mission.  I trust your conference went well?

CNS_Alana says:
::Gets a bit of information fro the Orlandrian government that she did not want to hear and wished she hadn't::

FCO_Thomson says:
::Clears her throat:: CSO: That would be nice, Sir.  I wouldn't mind a few tips but I think I should keep my mind on the mission first.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Thinks this might be going somewhere::

Host XO_Kerst says:
CO: As well as can be expected. My biggest fear is that we're too late and the crystals are already off the station.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Gotcha.  Yellow-lighting me.

Host Bartender says:
CTO: Well, I watch these two, as they appear to be alone and just sipping their drinks.  Anyway a few minutes later the broad gets up and leaves.  I notice she don't pick up the bag, see?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Blinks:: CSO: Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: Nothing.  Just something from the Terran U.S. Navy.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  XO: I see.  Has anything turned up so far in the mission?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Nods::

Host Bartender says:
CTO: Then the ugly guy gets up and downs his drink.  He walks past the chair and slides the broad's bag off the back of the chair, slings it over his shoulder and walks out.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Finishes the scan on the shuttle, moves onto another Bajoran freighter::  CSO: Would you care to explain what it means.  ::Pauses:: Sir?

Host Bartender says:
CTO: And that's all I know so get the heck out of my place and leave me alone!

CTO_Danforth says:
Bartender: What's the guy look like, Bob?  I don't suppose you have sensors in this joint?

CNS_Alana says:
::Makes a note in her report to read that at least one Orlandrian official, is a known member of the Order of Rameus::

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: It has to do with how male and female officers act toward each other in response to a scandal involving Naval Aviators at a convention in the 20th century.

Host XO_Kerst says:
CO: Nothing. CSO has the sensor mods in place and we're scanning everything coming and going but so far nothing.  It might the next ship, the hundredth ship or none of them.  It’s a waiting came unless we get some other information.

FCO_Thomson says:
::Frowns in thought:: CSO: You seem to know a lot about that era.  A history-buff?

Host Bartender says:
CTO: What, do I look like, a rich Ferengi?  No I don't have sensors in here!  He's about my height but heavy and his skin is dark.  He was dressed in one of those ugly freighter uniforms and he looked like he hadn't taken a bath in a week!

CSO_Taliza says:
CSO: I got very much interested in Terran history during my time at the academy.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Is the Erie ready?

FCO_Thomson says:
::Laughs:: CSO: Not me.  I only took what classes I had to.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Thinks: Damn:: Bartender: Bob, you've just made a friend.  ::Leaves the bar and picks up the CIV::

Host XO_Kerst says:
CO: Yes and we also have some runabouts prepped just in case.  We might have multiple vessels to pursue.

CTO_Danforth says:
CIV: You all right, Mr. Ferrone?  You did great in there.

Host Bartender says:
::Shouts to the CTO as he walks out of the bar:: CTO: HEY!  WHO'S GONNA CLEAN UP THIS MESS!!!???  ::Grimaces::
