COO_Cain says:
::sitting in lounge chair enjoying the sun and the view of the females walking around::

CTO_Alex says:
::The holodeck program ends abruptly::

CSO_Temal says:
::I hope Risa is more exciting than that conference::

CSO_Temal says:
::wakes from day-dream::

CTO_Alex says:
::exits the holodeck and walks into a corridor filled with happy people::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she heads towards the doors, and feels herself relax as soon as she hits the sunlight::

TACSturek says:
::reaches into his pocket and pulls out a holodeck program::

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Stoned faced, walks out of the seminar into the sunlight... not even flinching at the bright light ::

CTO_Alex says:
::walks outside and enjoys the sunny weather::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she turns:: Sadik: You are such a Vulcan.....

COO_Cain says:
::motions server to bring another Sunrise Supreme. A wonderful and very potent alcoholic drink::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she chuckles::

Host TrojSadik says:
Commander, eh Captain Olbrun: It has been a long time.

TACSturek says:
::sees the CTO:: CTO: Good afternoon sir.

CSO_Temal says:
::goes to room, and finds a note  "meet me at the cafe":

CTO_Alex says:
::seees a passing waiter with drinks.....grabs one::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Sadik: It's been far too long, my friend.

CTO_Alex says:
Sturek: Ah! Nice to see you again ::smiles::

Lea says:
::Sits at a table at the cafe, looking over a padd and glancing at the door occasionally::

TACSturek says:
CTO: What do you plan to do for R&R sir?

CTO_Alex says:
::sips his drink::

CSO_Temal says:
::enters cafe, now who wrote me that note......::

COO_Cain says:
::Thanks server for the drink and starts on it right away, starting to feel relaxed::

CTO_Alex says:
::looks around:: Sturek: Absolutely nothing ::smiles::

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: Yes it has, nearly 5 years if memory serves. I understand you have Kootenai now. :: Asking to be polite, knowing the answer ::

Lea says:
::trys to look casual::

CTO_Alex says:
::sees a nice pool:: Sturek: On second thought, I might go swimming

Lea says:
::wonders if he will recognize her::

TACSturek says:
::takes out the holodeck program and shows it to CTO:: CTO: A friend of mine sent me this holodeck program and I've been waiting to try it out.

CSO_Temal says:
::I hope it's not another Trill with a bad attitude and a missing eye::

CTO_Alex says:
::looks at the program in his hand:: Sturek: Save it for Kootenai....we should relax here in the sun.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she unzips the jacket of her uniform, and slips it off, feeling the sun on her arms and being grateful for the tank top underneath::

CTO_Alex says:
::smiles as he begins to walk towards a changing room::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Sadik: I suspect, my Vulcan friend, that you already know the answer there.

CSO_Temal says:
::sits at bar::  Bartender: any one waiting for a companion to visit?

COO_Cain says:
::see's a green woman in the distance and cringes for some reason::

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Nods to show respect at her knowledge of him :: Captain: I would like to entertain you, if you please? A libation and conversation at the bar?

TACSturek says:
CTO: If you desire to relax in the sun sir that is your choice.

CTO_Alex says:
Sturek: Do as you like, but you are welcome to join me at the pool

TACSturek says:
CTO: Maybe later. Good day sir.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::smiles:: Sadik: That would be delightful.

CTO_Alex says:
Sturek: Have fun ::waves::

Lea says:
::Walks up to the bar:: Bartender: I'd like a tequilian sunrise, please.

CTO_Alex says:
::enters a changing room and changes into a pair of swimming trunks::

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Offers arm to escort her to a distant bar, outside of the grounds of the complex. It takes only a few moments for the walk to complete ::

CSO_Temal says:
::sees women, she looks familar::

TACSturek says:
::heading up to a holodeck::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::pulls a pin out of her bun, and lets her hair out, then takes his arm::

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: excuse me, but have we met before?

CTO_Alex says:
::walks out of the changing room and up to the edge of the pool::

Lea says:
::takes a sip from her drink:: CSO: Well, Maybe...!

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Eyebrows furled, as usual, almost smiling :: Captain: You seem to be in wonderful spirits. It is good to see you again.

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: I believe we have met, but where?

CTO_Alex says:
::tests the water with a toe::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Sadik: Has it only been five years?

CSO_Temal says:
::scans her mind::

COO_Cain says:
::finishes drink and decides to go for a walk on the beach::

Lea says:
CSO: Maybe, before the Acadamy?

CSO_Temal says:
::fascinating, she continues to avoid my probes::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Sadik: If it has been, I wasn't joined the last time we saw each other.

CTO_Alex says:
::hears running to the side of him and looks just before being knocked into the pool::

Lea says:
::enjoys confusing the CSO::

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: That must be it. I can sense a different confidence about you.

JamesY is now known as JamesBot.

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Continues walking ::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Sadik:It's seven lifetimes of experience....gives you a whole different perspective.

TACSturek says:
::activates his holodeck program and walks in::

Lea says:
::takes another sip::

CSO_Temal says:
::the circular arguments she makes I'd think she was a doctor::

CTO_Alex says:
::comes up spitting out water:: <Tara> Alex: I'm sorry! I should have been more careful!

COO_Cain says:
::thinks how nice it is to think about nothing and just enjoy the atmosphere::

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I can empathize with that, considering the lifespan of the Vulcan.

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I must ask one question...

CTO_Alex says:
::sees the young woman:: Tara: That is quite alright. I was going to jump in anyway ::smiles::

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: did we meet on Karat I, at the seminar on transwarp drive?

TACSturek says:
::the holodeck changes to an old baseball field from Earth::

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> Alex: Well, let me get you a drink.

CTO_Alex says:
Tara: I don't need a drink, but some company would be nice.

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: If you are joined, then why do you retain the "Olbrun" designation? Should that not have changed?

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: well, what is your name, Elsia?

Lea says:
CSO: I think you may be remembering... I thought you would have focused you thoughts a little better by now...!

CTO_Alex says:
::watches Tara drop her towel and slip in beside him::

COO_Cain says:
::see's a large clidd in the distance and decides to go over to it and climb it.::

Lea says:
CSO: Not quite..

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Sadik: My surname before joining was Maloy, as you'll recall. Olbrun is the symbiont.

COO_Cain says:
::Makes it to the top of the cliff and sits to enjoy the view::

CTO_Alex says:
::swims with Tara:: Tara: Do you live here? Or are you here for vacation?

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: My memory still fails me. ::Gestures to a clearing where there is an empty bar, with a smiliing bartender waiting. ::

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: Lea, Lea Yelsin, is that you?

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> Alex: I am here on vacation. Why do you ask?

TACSturek says:
::walks across the holographic baseball diamond and sees a uniform set out for him in the dugout::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::rolls her neck from side to side again, and is rewarded with a pop::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::takes a seat at the bar::

CTO_Alex says:
Tara: I was just wondering if next time I visit, you will be here.

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::smiles at him and laughs::

Lea says:
CSO: Nope.

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Places his hand on her neck and firmly squeezes like only a Vulcan can and releases a knot in the muscles ::

CSO_Temal says:
Lea:  Elisa Clinton?

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she turns so he has better access to her neck:: Sadik: Thank you.

Lea says:
CSO: try again...!

CTO_Alex says:
Tara: I didn't know I made a joke ::smiles::

COO_Cain says:
::startled by a voice asking:: 'mind if I join you?'

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Takes a seat next to her and continues to relieve the stress :: Captain: Command seems to take its toll. Would you care for a drink?

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: I don't know.....Bob Barker

TACSturek says:
::once dressed in appropriate attire looks at a lineup card on the dugout wall and says "begin program"::

COO_Cain says:
::looks up to see a young, beautiful human woman::  Please do.

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> Alex: You didn't. I....well..... ::splashes him and backs away playfully::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she smiles:: Sadik: I would, thank you.

Lea says:
CSO: Temal, you still have the same sense of humor...

CTO_Alex says:
::gets a face full of water and splashes back::

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: no wait,  ::probes mind::  Julian Lea-that's it!

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she laughs:: Sadik: If you weren't needed somewhere else in Starfleet, I'd gladly have you on Kootenai all the time.

Lea says:
CSO: Very good, Ensign!

COO_Cain says:
::she introduces herself::  My name is Kaicen.

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Gestures to the bartender for a shot of whiskey and a drink for the lady :: Captain: I have some news for you.

TACSturek says:
::he joins his team as they take the field. Sturek is playing third base and the once lonely holodeck is now filled with fans::

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: my old Lab partner, fascinating we should meet on Risa-and it took hard work to earn that tittle

COO_Cain says:
Kaicen:  Please to meet you, I'm Segres.  Beautiful name you have.

CTO_Alex says:
::Drops below the surface and comes up under Tara.....lifting her above the water as she screams::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
:;arches an eyebrow, not unlike a Vulcan:: Sadik: And what's that?

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I have been asked to take leave from StarFleet.

Lea says:
CSO: Congradulations, Temal, on your assignment. I'm sure it did!

CTO_Alex says:
::tosses her back into the water and laughs::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she turns around, shocked:: Sadik: What? Why?

CTO_Alex says:
::watches her rise out of the water and to her towel::

COO_Cain says:
<Kaicen>  Thanks.  Excuse me for asking, but aren't you a Romulan?

CSO_Temal says:
Bartender: another Blackhole, and I believe a Stardrifter for my friend here

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I am not here by coincedence. I have been given orders. :: Takes a sip from the shot of Antarian whiskey ::

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::dries off:: Alex: Lets go get something to eat.

COO_Cain says:
Kaicen:  Half Romulan actually, half human.  I was born and raised on earth.

CTO_Alex says:
::smiles and nods as he climbs out of the pool::

Lea says:
CSO: I hate to cut this short, but I have a meeting I must go to. Maybe I can see you later?

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::looking for his towel:: Alex: Where is your towel?

TACSturek says:
::sees the first batter from the opposing team step up to the plate::

COO_Cain says:
<Kaicen>  That's why you seem so pleasant.  ::laughs out loud::

COO_Cain says:
::laughs with her::

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: run off on me again,well maybe......as they say I don't even have your number

CTO_Alex says:
Tara: In the changing room. I shouldn't be long. ::walks into the changing room::

Host TrojSadik says:
Taniele: My friend, I am here to ask you a favor. :: Lowers head in shame ::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Sadik: Are you going to explain, or are you just hear to tell me goodbye?

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::follows him::

COO_Cain says:
<Kaicen>  Is this your first trip to Risa?

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::concerned:: Sadik: What is it?

Lea says:
CSO: I'll see you again! Bye Temal. ::leaves the cafe::

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I was given command of a corp of engineers and science officers to develop some special starship technology.

COO_Cain says:
Kaicen:  Actually, yes.  Very nice place.   ::continues to look out over the water.::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::nods, just listening::

COO_Cain says:
<Kaicen>  Me too.  ::looks over the water as well::

CSO_Temal says:
Lea: but,......ahhhhh relation can be very......

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: This technology was based upon theory that I developed with stolen Romulan technology.

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I am not proud of what I have done, except to say that my entire being exists for the causes I believe in. You understand me best and know that.

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Sips more whiskey ::

Cheryl has left the conversation.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::the bartender finally brings her a drink of water with a twist of lemon, and she sips it, listening::

CTO_Alex says:
::a half hour later........Alex and Tara emerge from the changing room::

CSO_Temal says:
::gets up and heads toward lounge::

TACSturek says:
::after two pitches the first batter hits a ground ball to Sturek, which he throws to first for the out::

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: The ship we designed was on a shake-down mission near Kootenai's sector.

CTO_Alex says:
Tara: Now I am hungry. Where is that cafe you told me about?

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: We recieved a coded message... "Starship down."

COO_Cain says:
Kaicen:  Would you like to have some dinner or a drink perhaps?

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Takes a deep breath ::

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::takes his hand:: Alex: Just follow me ::rushes towards a small group of buildings::

COO_Cain says:
<Kaicen>  Dinner would be great.

TACSturek says:
::the next batter hits a fly ball to centerfield which is caught::

Lea has left the conversation.

COO_Cain says:
::we both stood up and walked over to the nearest eating establishment called 'Paco's'::

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I am here to plead with you for your help. Starfleet has sent me on an unofficial, undocumented mission.

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I need the Cutlass, you, and your crew.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she takes a breath:: Sadik: Troj, I'm going to need some time to think this over.

CTO_Alex says:
::follows her into a small place....he misses the name...started with a "P"::

CSO_Temal says:
::sits in lounge, what a dull planet::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she then takes his hand, and holds it in hers:: Troj: Can you give me that?

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I understand. :: Gently places his hand on hers ::

CSO_Temal says:
::goes back to the seminar hoping to find a scientist to converse with::

CTO_Alex says:
::they take a seat near the back of the cafe::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she takes a drink of water, in a way wishing she'd not sworn off the heavier stuff::

Host TrojSadik says:
Taniele: We have 20 crew members waiting on me to help. Once I leave here, I will search them out. I am sorry to ask this of you, old friend.

CTO_Alex says:
::sees that Cain is "busy" with a friend, so he doesn't  say anything::

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Rubs her neck again to ease the tension he has just caused ::

TACSturek says:
::the first half inning is over and now Sturek's team is at bat::

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::calls the waiter over:: Alex: Let me order, OK?

CTO_Alex says:
::nods to Tara::

CSO_Temal says:
::walks into building and sees the scientist Ryat::

CTO_Alex says:
::hears what she orders and knows that his stomach will regret the spicy food.::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she allows him to work on her neck, thinking that this is not going to be the end of her tension.....::

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> Alex: So where are you from? ::takes his hands in hers::

CTO_Alex says:
Tara: You ask me this now? ::laughs::

CSO_Temal says:
Ryat: pleasure to meet you Ryat, I am Ens_Temal  ::starts a conversation witht the scientist on warp fields::

TACSturek says:
::Sturek steps up to the plate and hits a drive to the left field corner::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Troj: Just remember...I'd only be doing this out of regard for our long standing friendship.

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::giggles:: Alex: Yeah. Where are you from?

Host TrojSadik says:
Taniele: You are the only officer I mentioned when asked who could help me. Knowing how well you know me, you become an asset when leading this expedition. I wouldn't ask if I didn't know you as I do.

CTO_Alex says:
Tara: I'm from a lot of places, but right now I am stationed on Kootenai Station.

TACSturek says:
::as he rounds first he notices who the first baseman is. One of his rivals from school who trips him. Sturek falls to the ground and sprains his ankle::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she closes her eyes as he hits a row of sore spots in her shoulder:: Troj: Just remember, my dear, you're going to owe me someday....::said with a hint of mischief::

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> Alex: Ahhh, I see. Well, I live on Earth, in New Chicago.

CTO_Alex says:
::nods:: Tara: I have never been there, but would like to see it someday.

TACSturek says:
::orders the holodeck to end program and manages to walk out::

CTO_Alex says:
::The food arrives and they both dig in right away::

Host TrojSadik says:
Taniele: I detect a hint of mischief in your voice. If I didn't know you better, I might distrust that remark. :: With a slight smirk, barely noticable :: I might accomodate you on that point.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Troj: Might?

Host TrojSadik says:
Captian: I'm sure the mischief is not as noticable in my voice, as it is in yours. :: Runs fingers through her hair, playfully ::

TACSturek says:
::shakes off the pain and takes a hypo out of a nearby medical kit::

CSO_Temal says:
Ryat: interesting hypothesis, but I still believe warpfields are interdiminsional

TACSturek says:
::administers the hypo and feels the pain in his ankle go away::

CTO_Alex says:
::they finish their dinner with very little conversation between bites::

TACSturek says:
::walks back outside to get a drink::

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I do not wish to leave so soon, however I must prepare and I know the Cutlass is in orbit.

CTO_Alex says:
::sits back and sips a drink....looking at Tara::

COO_Cain says:
::and there we layed, naked and looking up into the beautiful, serene sky::

CSO_Temal says:
Ryat: let us go to my quarters, I have my personnel computer with me, we acn debate my theories

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::looks over to him:: Alex: What? What is it?

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she turns around, a little more serious:: Troj: How unauthorised is this mission?

CTO_Alex says:
Tara: Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if we could stay on vacation. Well, for a lot longer. ::smiles::

COO_Cain says:
<Kaicen>  You really know a woman's anatomay, don't you?

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: You will receive orders to escort me on a benign diplomatic mission. That will be your clue to my sincerety.

COO_Cain says:
::blushing::  Kaicen:  I suppose I paid attention in school.

CSO_Temal says:
::enters quarters::  Ryat: retrieve it from my bag.

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> ::smiles :: Alex: Yes, that would be perfect ::sips her drink::

CTO_Alex says:
::waves for the waiter:: Tara: I'll take care of the tab.

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> Alex: You don't have to. It's already paid for. They owe me here ::smirks::

Host TrojSadik says:
Captain: I must leave now. I will meet with you in orbit.

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Troj: Just a second.

CTO_Alex says:
::raises a brow:: Tara: Oh? Why?

TACSturek says:
::steps up to the bar and orders a root beer::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Troj: Do me a favor, would you?

Host TrojSadik says:
:: Waits patiently for the Captain ::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Troj: Be careful. I'd like to have you around for many lifetimes to come.

CSO_Temal says:
Ryat: see, I used these same theories on my warpcore wormhole and I achieved an 85% success rate

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> Alex: Lets just say, I did them a huge favor with a horrible customer.

COO_Cain says:
::starting to fall asleep with her in my arms::

CTO_Alex says:
::nods::

CTO_Alex says:
<Tara> Alex: Lets go ::gets up::

CTO_Alex says:
::gets up and walks out with her::

Host TrojSadik says:
Friend: Live long and prosper. :: Gestures with his right hand :: I will meet you on the Cutlass once you leave here.

CSO_Temal says:
::arches eyebrow at Ryat's argumenitive statements::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
::she nods, and yet doesn't return the Vulcan statement::

Host CO_Olbrun says:
Troj: I'll see you later.
