Summary
	While the Nighthawk is under extensive repair, the crew has been given a two week leave of R&R.  Most of the command staff has decided to go to Risa, taken there by a transport vessel.  Their first stop was to pay their respects to Varesh’s grave, but first they had to find it.  One group did find his mother, who was not happy to see them.  The CTO however had trouble finding a death certificate for the counselor.  His Starfleet records said one thing, his Risan records said another?  A simple mistake?
	The CMO slipped away from the group to avoid the Risan’s while the FCO slipped away from the group to stew in his anger at Varesh’s death.  However peace was not to be either gentleman’s.  Soon the group is heading to help out the FCO who finds himself under fire with no idea why, a ‘dead’ women in his arms and a ‘friend’ at his side?

Announcements

•	Welcome back everyone!
•	R&R was not quite what I had planned, but hey… we shall see where it goes, especially as Martijn and I have had trouble getting together.
•	Congrats to Scott on his new family addition.
•	A birthday wish to Patrick as he reaches for that over the hill day.  As well as a wish to everyone else who had a birthday the last few weeks that something special happens.
•	Please… don’t start the New Year off behind in logs as some of you ended the year.

Time Lapse:
	A few minutes… enough time for everyone to arrive or soon arrive upon the scene.

Captain's Log Stardate 10601.06: We are en route to Risa, with the Nighthawk in the repair shop, we have been given a transport ship to ferry us there.

CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Good to hear.

@:: Finishes playing, gets up and walks away again, a smile remaining on her purple face.  As she walks past a table, her tail unobtrusively picks up a wallet... or two.::

CO Capt Monroe says:
All: Good.  :: Readjusts his sunglasses and steps onto the Transporter padd::

@:: Sees the weird purple girl exiting one of the nearby buildings::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Joins the CSO::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:

@:: A strange feeling comes over her.  Something important is about to happen here.  Perhaps not something affecting the entire universe, but something sweet and nice::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Following his brother his eyes adjust quickly to the new lighting conditions::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
::slaps both hands down on his knees, takes in a deep breath, exhales and stands to join the others::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CIV: I know what you mean... It is… Different. :: Arrives at the exit and walks out into the open air:: I have been here once before.. Though I did not stay long back then.. Hopefully we will have more time this time..

CIV Lt Rose says:
CSO:  Varesh's?
  Nexus says:
Valdir: But nothing is ever what it seems.  Is it?

:: Nods:: CIV: Of course.. We will see what we can find that would be suitable..
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: I remember where I had a real bad hangover.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Arrives on the planet and looks around at the scenery, trying to determine where he should go::

All: Welcome to Risa, I hope your stay will be a pleasant one.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Wonders where the bars are::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: Now I could do without them ::points at the committee:: All: Why can't we stay around without the politics and welcoming
CIV Lt Rose says:
CSO:  I would hope his family had made one for him.  They should have arrived the week before us.
  Nexus says:
Valdir: I think I've heard that line before.  It made about as much sense then as it does now. ::giggles, to cover the uncharacteristically caustic remark::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Looks Valdir over. He does a good job putting up a smile, but it's just a tad too… fake::

ACTIONS:  A hunk of a Risan smiles at the CSO as he greets here with flowers and a welcome.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CIV: Are they natives of Risa? I would expect the memorial to be at his home-planet
Valdir says:
:: Winks at Nexus over his shoulder and focuses his attention on the new arrivals, not quite hiding a strange look in his eyes:: FCO: Welcome to Risa.
  Nexus says:
:: Smiles at the people arriving, and starts handing out flowers that seemed to just appear in her pretty little hands::
CIV Lt Rose says:
CSO:  Yes... his mother is.  And I think he had a kind of club somewhere about.  I don't know where though.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Raises her eyebrows at the new arrival and smiles back:: Self: Maybe some welcomes are worth while ::takes the flowers::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Joins in the crowd, remaining with Rose::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Puts on a sarcastic smile:: Valdir:  Yeah, thanks.

Nexus says:
:: Sees someone trying to sneak off and runs (prettily) over to the CMO and hands him a flower:: CMO: Welcome to Risa!  ::Wraps her arms around him, checking his pockets with her tail::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Yeah, yeah.....just point me in the direction to your closest bar and I'll be out of your hair.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks sideways at Brianna at the CSO's question::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Smiles and begins to walk towards the rest of the village:: All: Folks... Remember we are here for two weeks.  Transport leaves two weeks from today, 0800hrs.  Have fun everyone!
Valdir says:
:: Nods:: FCO: In that direction. :: Points to the nearest building, then turning away::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Jumps slightly at this surprise attack and then realizes what just happened and smiles at the nice lady::
CIV Lt Rose says:
Ummm... CSO:  Actually, I don't. :: Looks at Gary::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Looks around and smiles at the attempt of the CMO to get away unnoticed::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Speaks up:: CO: Don't you want to join us Captain?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Looks to where Valdir pointed and heads off in that direction::
  Nexus says:
CMO: Why are you trying to sneak away?  There are so many people here, we could have so much fun together!  :: Bubbles at him::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CIV: I have a map in my tricorder. Would you recognize the name if you saw it?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods:: CSO/CIV: I know a bit here.. Not a lot, but I think I could find a bar, restaurant or good beach here.. I don't know where Varesh's place was.. But we can find out, I think..
CMO Ens Trigger says:
Woman: Wow you Risans are good... all my tactical experience and I still couldn't sneak past you. :: Smiles::
Valdir says:
:: Looks over his shoulder at the departing FCO, sighing to himself:: Self: Blast those idiots.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Stops:: CSO: I would love to.
  Nexus says:
CMO: You like sneaking?  That’s so sneaky!
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: it seems Commander Varesh' family may have a club here. We are thinking to pay them a visit. Perhaps you would like to come as well
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Smiles and walks back to the group, hides his padd in the bag.:: CSO: Well that was where I was heading to as well.
CIV Lt Rose says:
CSO:  Ummm... no.  I really don't remember.  But we know his mothers name.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Gets her tricorder from her purse and pulls up the map::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Ahh, you know its location?
CMO Ens Trigger says:
 : I think that's where the word comes from. :: Grins:: Say, you wouldn't happen to know where I can get a decent drink round here would you?
  Nexus says:
CMO: Looks like your friends are going somewhere.  Shall we join them?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
Rest: Everyone is welcome to join us .... hopefully we shall not get lost
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks at the CO, glad he seems to know where they need to go::
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Walks off to another direction. Cities are all alike. Public records will tell him what he wants to know::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: Whether or not you knew Commander Varesh, we can all share our memories
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Turns and looks back at Valdir and gets a very familiar feeling from him::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Pulls his padd out:: CSO: Here, I got this before I left the ship.
  Nexus says:
CSO: Where are you going?  Is it a fun place? ::A sort of innocence and playfulness emanate from her::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Knowing what his brother is up to, he follows him while the attention is on other people::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Peeks at the padd:: CIV/XO: What do you say, shall we trust the Captain's sense of direction?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: He chalks it up to emotions, shakes it off and heads into the bar::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
 : Not fun .. a place to remember a lost friend. So a nice place
Valdir says:
:: Decides that the powers that be can go hang themselves and follows the FCO::
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Waits until Nexus is distracted by the CSO and bolts behind a tree::

ACTION:  As the group from the Nighthawk move away, now decked with flowers and the CMO with lipstick on his cheek, the greeters turn to others.

CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Nods his head:: CSO: Come on I know where we are going.  It is this way.  :: Points in one direction:: Oh what is it over there?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Walks up to the bartender and orders a scotch.....no, makes it a double::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Shakes her head at the CO then looks at his PADD::CO: That way I think… :: Points::
  Nexus says:
:: Her face falls, then she perks up again:: CSO: But as long you remember your friend, he's not really dead, is he?  he lives on in your heart.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Waits until they made up their mind as to the direction they need to go in::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
Nexus: Indeed, and we are making him live a little bit more today. You are welcome to join as I said
Valdir says:
:: Walks up to the bar:: FCO: That seat taken? :: Nods at the seat next to him::
CO Capt Monroe says:
CSO: You sure?  :: Flips the padd upside down:: I think we are here, and we need to head there.  :: Points in the opposite direction::
  Nexus says:
CSO: Thank you!  I like remembering people!
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Heads for a small building that looks a bit like a bar::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Be my guest.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Sighs:: All: Where's the FCO when you need him ::notices the FCO is indeed not there anymore:::
Valdir says:
:: Sits down:: FCO: You seem to have a lot on your mind, but if I'm bothering you, please tell me to leave... though I would be loathe to do so.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Takes a drink of his scotch before spitting it out:: Bartender:  You call that scotch??  I'll say this once.........I want the good stuff and keep it coming!
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Since Public records is never far from the main entrance area on a planet he soon finds the building and enters it::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Takes a glance at the padd and points:: CO: Could it be that way..?
  Nexus says:
:: Moves over to Valdir and slips her arm into his:: Valdir: We're going to remember someone...  you coming along?  :: Smiles her most charming smile::
Bartender says:
FCO:  My apologies sir.  You shall have the finest.  :: Pours another drink for the FCO::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: Oh, lets just take one and hope for the best ::starts moving::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks around:: XO: It looks like it.
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Stopping in front of an information desk he waits until the person behind it has time for him::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  You're not bothering me....yet.  But if you do, you'll be the first to know.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Starts in the direction that the XO pointed out::
  Nexus says:
:: Follows the group, Skipping along happily, then entering the bar::

Scenery:  A few people look at the disturbance around the FCO before going back to their drinks.

:: Starts heading off, following the CO::
Valdir says:
:: Nods:: FCO: I can appreciate that, Aaa.. and what brings you to Risa? ::mentally kicks himself::

FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  My Captain's orders.  Trust me, this is the last place I want to be.

:: Enters the building and finds himself in what looks like a bar he used to frequent before he joined the academy::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Smiles a winning smile:: Records clerk: I'm sure you can help me. We're looking for the address of a friend of ours. He was born here. His name is Varesh
Valdir says:
:: Thinks a moment before answering:: FCO: Would you believe me if I told you we do?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Stands in front of a store front that matches the picture on the padd::

ACTION: Three men, of dubious character, enter the bar the FCO has decided to drown his sorrows in.

CO Capt Monroe says:
All: I think we are here.
  Nexus says:
:: Smiles over at Valdir and Aaron.  That’s going well so far.  Wonders where the other are::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Look, I'll warn you right now, I'm in no mood for any games.  So either state your business or leave me alone.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: This looks like it
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Turns to Rose and speaks low:: CIV: Do you know any of the family?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Takes a deep breath, and walks in::

Scenery:  Music and laughter surround the CMO as he enters into a small pub.

CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
Records clerk: His mother's name was Malita
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks around before following Monroe in::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Nonchalantly and quickly glances at the three that just entered::
Valdir says:
:: Takes a deep breath:: FCO: Aaron, I can't lie to you. Touch my mind, and know the truth.
Records Clerk says:
CTO:  It is public record.  You need only look it up over there. :: Points to a terminal:: Unless it is off record, then I cannot help you without special clearance.

ACTION:  The three eyes light on Nexus.
  
Nexus says:
:: Sits down at the bar, a little away from Valdir and Aaron, and orders something sweet, very alcoholic and - what else - fun::

CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Approaches the bar and waits for a bar tender::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: They could've gotten the information in other ways, but the official way is always a good place to start::

CSO:  I only know he has a sister and I think he used to have a ward.
Malita says:
:: enters from behind a curtain:: CO: Can I help you?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir: That’s it!  :: Grabs Valdir by the collar of his shirt:: Look friend, I don't know what you're trying to do here, but you won't like my reaction if you keep it up.
  Nexus says:
:: Suddenly feels eyes on her.  uh-oh.  Someone's going to be sorry::

ACTION:  Valdir's hood slips.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods:: CIV: I hope they don't resent us being here. After all we represent that which took their son. Starfleet
Valdir says:
FCO: Aaron, just do it dammit. Do you have to doubt?
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Entering the information he knows he waits for the terminal to give him the information he wants::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks at Malita as she enters::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: Hello, I am Captain Sid Monroe, from the Nighthawk.  And you are Varesh's mother?

ACTION:  The CTO has no problem getting the information he is searching for.

FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Wait a second.....just how exactly do you know my name?  ::looks deeper into Valdir's eyes::  No, no it couldn't be.
Malita says:
:: Gets a hard look in her eyes:: CO: Ah, I was waiting for you to come.

:: Looks into Aaron's eyes:: FCO: But yes, it is.
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Watching Malita's expression thinks this is not good.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Malita: I am sorry for your loss... ::Pauses:: Waiting for me?
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Thinks how much this really is like an Irish pub as he patiently waits for the barman::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  V?  No, it can't be.  This is some sort of trick.  Who put you up to this?
CTO Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: He memorizes the info then suddenly he stops.. This is strange.. no death date...::
Malita says:
CO: Oh, yes. Waiting so I can give you a piece of my mind... a large piece.

ACTION:  The three thugs surround Nexus and invariably the FCO and Valdir.

Scenery:  A barmaid approaches the CMO for his order, winking at him.
 
 Nexus says:
:: Trips while trying sneaks.  Silly dust molecules, not fun::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Looks at the information as well and decides to call Lt Rose:: *CIV Rose*: Lieutenant. I have some information here you might like to hear
Valdir says:
FCO: Aaron, I can't explain everything now, and I think we have a problem that needs to be taken care of. You can beat me up, or kiss me or whatever later... these guys are trouble.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Disconnects his concentration to Valdir and looks up at the three who just approached:: 
Thugs:  Is there a problem here guys?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks confused:: Malita: Sorry I don't follow.  If you are going yell at me for his death, yes it is my fault.

ACTION:  One of the thugs picks up Nexus by the colar and throws her against the FCO.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks at the XO and the CIV with an alarmed expression::
  Nexus says:
Valdir: Yes they are.  Picking on poor, weak, wacky purple girls!
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Tightens her hand around Gary's arm.::
Valdir says:
:: Sighs for a moment:: Self: It never is easy. :: Grabs the nearest thug and punches him in the stomach.::
CTO Ens Ra-Kol says:
*CO*: Sir, you really should hear this
  Nexus says:
:: Falls to the ground, and as she does so, her tail darts out and grabs the man by the ankle, pulling him to the ground::
Guht says:
:: Growls:: FCO:  Stay out of this.  She has something that doesn't belong to her.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Taps repeatedly and absent mindedly at his commbadge, subconsciously sending a message in Morse code to Ensign Ra Kol::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
Valdir:  Somehow I doubt that one is poor and weak.  :: Gets up and grabs the guy who tossed Nexus into him and throws him across the bar::
CO Capt Monroe says:
*CTO*: Standby.
CMO Ens Trigger says:
CTO: . -. ... .. --. -. / -.- --- .-.. --..-- / .-- --- ..- .-.. -.. / -.-- --- ..- / -.-. .- .-. . / - --- / .--- --- .. -. / -- . / ..-. --- .-. / .- / -.. .-. .. -. -.- ..--.. ["ENSIGN KOL, WOULD YOU CARE TO JOIN ME FOR A DRINK?"]
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Listens to the comms from the CTO, not sure what the twins are up to::
Malita says:
CO: I was going to yell at you for taking my boy again... yes I didn't want him to join Starfleet, and now he's gone because of you people.
