FCO_Tim says:  ::on TL from quarters to HD::

Aurora says:  ::looks down at Shey, as she finishes putting some feathers in her hair::

OPS_Zax says:  :: is with Aurora::

Kai says:  :: following behind  the CO, Isa in her arms, very apprehensive::

Aurora says:  ::looks up at Zax and smiles shyly at her::

CMO_Varr says:  ::enters the holodeck, nodding greeting to the Captain before moving to speak with the Counselor:: CNS: Counselor.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::satisfied, he leaves his room, heading for the TL::

FCO_Tim says:  ::exits the TL and enters the HD::

CNS_Luna says:  CMO:  Yes, sir?

OPS_Zax says:  Aurora: You look beautiful! ::smiles back::

Aurora says:  OPS:  Thanks... I did not expect to be so nervous.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Requests the Holodecks, and anxiously waits as the doors snap closed::

Snoopy says:  ::Sniffs at K'ai's feet, sniffs Isa::

Kai says:  ::Isa hisses at  Snoopy::

FCO_Tim says:  ::look around for other crewmembers::

Snoopy says:  ::Whimpers and backs down::

CMO_Varr says:  CNS: I was wondering if you felt free discussing Lt. Wilkens.  I haven't managed to get him back to sickbay since his initial treatment.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::As he exits, he spots the FCO and jogs over::

Kai says:  ::pulls on  the CO jacket::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::as he walks down the corridor, the crewmembers that see him turn their heads, puzzled::

OPS_Zax says:  Aurora: You're supposed to be nervous

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::sees to his wife and K'ai's seating::

CNS_Luna says:  CMO:  I was hoping to talk to you as well

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Hello sir. How are you this day?

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods to several crewmen as he passes them::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::looks down at K'ai after feeling the tug::  K'ai:  Yes, what is it little one?

CEO_Wilkens says:  FCO: Fine, thank you, and yourself?

Snoopy says:  ::Stays by K'ai's side::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he enters the TL:: Holodeck 1

CMO_Varr says:  CNS: Then it is well we are speaking.  What is it you had concerns about?

Kai says:  CO:  um..  what exactly  is this? :: honestly confused::

CNS_Luna says:  CMO:  Should the CEO still be in pain from his injuries?

Aurora says:  OPS:  Well my friend, I am as ready as I will ever be... I still wish my family was here, but you are and that is important to me.  Thank you.

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Not bad sir. I saw you jogging is there anything urgent?

Jolade says:  ::Jolade materializes in a seat , 3rd row, the Groom's side, patiently waiting for the bride::

CEO_Wilkens says:  FCO: Nothing in particular.

Snoopy says:  ::At K'ai's side, looks up at the CO, crawls over to him, and sniffs his butt::

OPS_Zax says:  Aurora: I'm so happy for you both and glad to call you my friend

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: You just quietly want to say hello? I am honoured. Thank you sir.

CMO_Varr says:  CNS: You noticed that as well.  The few scans I have managed to take in passing indicate no injuries to cause pain, but he has frequently appeared to be in pain.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::as the TL doors whir open, he takes a few seconds to leave.. As if readying himself::

CO_Vn`dor says:  K'ai:  Well...  ::thinking over his words::  When two people really care for each other, like Carrie and I do  ::looks up at Carrie::  they go through a small ceremony as a symbol of their never-ending love for one another.

Aurora says:  ::smiles and heads out the door with Shey tightly clasping her hand....or was that the other way around::

CEO_Wilkens says:  FCO: Of course. Please, nothing so formal, while we're not on duty!

Lt_Bateman says:  ::steps off TL into HD::

CNS_Luna says:  CMO:  I have not seen him for counseling.  I will offer it to him again.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Grins, and motions towards a couple of seats:: FCO: Shall we?

OPS_Zax says:  ::follows Aurora out the door::

Kai says:  CO: but am I allowed to be here I mean I have never been  to a place like this or wore a dress like this..... ::nervous::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he waits for the Holodeck doors to open, then steps in::

Snoopy says:  ::Backs away from the CO, and returns to K'ai's side::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Sorry T.J. Yes we shall.

CMO_Varr says:  CNS:  That may help, but I do not think he will accept.  I think we will be left with just observing him until he is ready.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::walks up to the CEO and FCO:: CEO/FCO: Evening, gentlemen.

Aurora says:  ::reaches the holodeck doors and just stairs at it a moment::

CNS_Luna says:  CMO:  you may be right, sir.  I will keep an eye on him

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods:: Bateman: Lieutenant.

FCO_Tim says:  Bateman: Evening.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::his crewmates can see Tealk in a ceremonial Vulcan clothing::

OPS_Zax says:  ::waits patiently for Aurora to move::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::smiles::  K'ai:  Of course you are allowed.  You are allowed because when two people wish to join as these two are... they want all their friends and family to be a part of this very joyful time for them.  ::smiles at her reassuringly::

Kai says:  :: turns in seat to see Tealk and waves frantically::

Aurora says:  ::takes a deep breath and nods at Zax::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::approaches the Captain:: CO : Sir..

CMO_Varr says:  ::nods:: CNS: That will be good.  I was also interested in how you are finding your new responsibilities.

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles back:: Aurora: Ready?

Snoopy says:  ::Sits pet-style beside K'ai, quirks his little fuzzy head to look at where K'ai is waving to::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::stands::  K'ai:  Stay here with Carrie, I have to go over there.  ::points to the front::

Aurora says:  ::nods, after swallowing... gathering her peace with in::

OPS_Zax says:  ::enters lift ahead of aurora::

Kai says:  CO:  Do I get to have some of that  ::eyes the big cake::

CNS_Luna says:  CMO:  Thank you for your concern.  I feel confident in my work, a little less so in myself.

CO_Vn`dor says:  CTO:  Yes Commander?  ::smiles:: What is it?

Snoopy says:  ::Eyes the cake as well, tongue dropping out, his eyes lighting up::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::looks around:: CO : How nervous where you on your wedding?

Kai says:  ::  pouts that  she is left behind , pets Isa and  the  puppy::

FCO_Tim says:  Bateman: Ensign Stricker FCO and you?

Snoopy says:  ::Licks K'ai's hand::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Takes his seat::

Snoopy says:  ::Still eyeing the cake::

CMO_Varr says:  ::notices Tealk and now has a better idea of why everyone is here::  CNS:  Not having been a counselor before I haven't much in the way of advice to give, but you seem to be doing well in everything so far.
FCO_Tim says:  ::takes seat next to CEO::

CNS_Luna says:  CMO:  Thank you, Sir

CMO_Varr says:  CNS:  I think it is time to take our places.  ::motions her toward the seating area::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::chuckles::  CTO: Nervous enough to nearly pass out.  ::smiles and places a hand on his shoulder::  You'll do fine Tealk.  After today, you will wonder why you were so nervous.

OPS_Zax says:  ::enters the holodeck::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::extends hand while taking a seat:: FCO: Lieutenant Lee Bateman.  ::points to gold collar:: Engineer.

CNS_Luna says:  ::sits down::

Aurora says:  ::Stands at the door in a traditional white buckskin dress with simple beading and fringe work and white moccasins on her feet::

CNS_Luna says:  ::thinks  Aurora looks beautiful::

Ens_CB says:  \nick CSO_Ens_Vor'raq

CTO_Tealk says:  ::looks back at the door, and smiles...::

Snoopy says:  ::Follows K'ai up to the gift table, still eyeing the cake::

OPS_Zax says:  ::walks down the aisle and takes her place::

Zandra says:  :: arrives at HD, with B’Lyn bye her side ::

Aurora says:  ::smiles at Tealk as she homes in on his beloved face::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::moves to the platform at the front::

OPS_Zax says:  ::thinking how beautiful both the bride and groom look::

Zandra says:  :: quickly takes a seat ::

B`Lyn says:  ::Stands at the door and looks around the room::

Lt_Bateman says:  FCO: Just a few weeks.  I transferred here from Starbase 333.

CMO_Varr says:  ::observes the ceremony with interest.  His parents had been a bit more simplistic.  He took her, was what his mother had said...::

Snoopy says:  ::Uses a chair to crawl up onto the table, and uses his little doggy mouth to start shaking a present along with K'ai::

Aurora says:  ::follows behind Shey as she walks up the isle scattering feathers and flowers while holding the bouquet::

Kai says:  :: continues to shake packages but keep an eye on the adults::

FCO_Tim says:  Bateman: Before the BQ mishap?

Lt_Bateman says:  ::takes a sip of his drink::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods to Bateman:: Bateman: I trust you'll have that personnel manifest on my desk, before 2100, right?

CTO_Tealk says:  ::looks really surprised at Aurora's attire::

Zandra says:  :: whispers :: B`Lyn: come here... sit.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::grins:: FCO: Fortunately, yes.

B`Lyn says:  ::Sees a kid her about her age by a table with a bunch of pretty packages::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Self: Fortunately?::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO/Bateman: Do they have any Rigel 4 spring water here?

B`Lyn says:  Zandra: Can't I look around a little first?

OPS_Zax says:  :;watches the bride walk down the aisle:::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::turns to CEO:: CEO: Sir, I put the manifest in your office before I left ME.

B`Lyn says:  Zandra: They haven't started yet..

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::waiting for the music to signal the start::

Zandra says:  B`Lyn: no, because the wedding is starting...

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: Excellent, great work.

Aurora says:  ::stops beside OPS near Tealk and the captain::

Snoopy says:  ::Shakes the package back and forth, then drops it from his little puppy mouth, moves onto the next one, copying K'ai's actions as best he can::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::guesses what the CEO is thinking:: CEO: Yes, fortunately... trust me, it's a lot more exciting than being stuck on a Starbase.

OPS_Zax says:  ::turns at Aurora's side::

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: ::Grins:: To each his own.

B`Lyn says:  Zandra: They haven't yet, Please? There is another kid in here.

Kai says:  :: sees  Shey so heads back to her seat, curious what they are doing, and what her dad is doing::

CMO_Varr says:  ::is distinctly glad the CTO and his bride aren't Betazoid::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::enters, tugging at the uncomfortable dress uniform::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO/Bateman: I got a bottle of Rigel 5 spring water not the same as Rigel 4 but do you both want any?

Snoopy says:  ::Dives off the table, and whimpers as it seems a lot longer down than he originally thought:: Woooooooooooofffff... ::Hits the ground, lies there for a moment, and then takes off after K'ai::

Lt_Bateman says:  FCO: Thank you, no.

CEO_Wilkens says:  FCO: No, thanks anyway, I'll pass.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::steps up next to CTO:: CTO: My apologies. I...overslept.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::chuckles:: That is not like you, my friend..::

Kai says:  ::sees  the XO by her dad and  snuggles up next to  Carrie afraid of the XO::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO/Bateman: Good more for me. ::smile and pours some water in an eight oz. glass::

Snoopy says:  ::Snuggles up against K'ai's legs, still a little dizzy from the fall::

Host Karri says:  Action: The room is set.... the holodeck is set for an outdoor wedding... a garden with music in the background.  The couple are ready.... they hope.

CNS_Luna says:  ::loves weddings::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::nods to the CTO in agreement::

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiling::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::looks around:: CEO/FCO: Hmm... they picked a nice setting.

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::clears his throat::  ALL:  It is a long standing tradition for Starfleet Captain's to begin the journey of two Paghs for the lifetime of joy and happiness...

B`Lyn says:  ::Sits down next to Zandra::

Zandra says:  :: whispers :: B’Lyn: this might be a good opportunity to study this species.

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: Yes, actually...::Tones down his voice, and turns to the Captain::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::faces the CO and listens intently::

Kai says:  ::leans around trying to see::

CNS_Luna says:  ::feels tears in her eyes already::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ALL:  ...as CO of this ship  ::smiling::  ..  I have the pleasure of starting two in this happy occasion here today.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::cranes his neck, annoyed at the 7-foot Security officer sitting in front of him::

OPS_Zax says:  ::listening to the ceremony, remembering her own weddings::

FCO_Tim says:  ::sips his water:: CEO/Bateman: This reminds me of the Rigel 4's Sharkly city where I lived for 11 years. The gardens are very similar.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Silently nudges the FCO, and gestures towards the Captain::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::absently, listening to CO:: FCO: Mm hmm.

B`Lyn says:  ::Starts looking around the room::

FCO_Tim says:  ::listens to CO::

Snoopy says:  ::Has a doggy dream::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::stands, wondering if Tealk knows what he's about to do::

Kai says:  ::looks to her dad talking then back at the cake, then back to her dad then longer on the cake wishing they would hurry up so she can have the cake::

CMO_Varr says:  ::thinks about his parents, his eyes tightening as he considers how their lives were cut short::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ALL:  ::looking at the CTO::  Lt. Cmdr Amendoeira and...  ::looking to Aurora:: Aurora Biishe.

Zandra says:  :: puts a hand on B`Lyn’s shoulder, indicating to her to behave. ::

Snoopy says:  ::Dreams about the peculiar occasion, the wedding, and then the cake... the giant, beautiful... cake::

FCO_Tim says:  ::listens careful and focusing to the CO, does not want to miss a thing::

CMO_Varr says:  ::is distracted from his thoughts by the motion of several woman in the audience wiping their eyes, with a sniff here and there::

Kai says:  ::starts fidgeting::

B`Lyn says:  ::Looks to the front again, then resumes examining the room::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Remains focused on the events at hand, pausing only to stifle an uncontrolled yawn::

Kai says:  ::continues to pet Isa who is ignoring the puppy::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CTO:  Commander, you wish to say your vows?  ::nodding and backing away::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::rolls eyes slightly at the excessive, needless emotion in the room::

Zandra says:  :: looks at the white clothes and thinks :: White?  Yuck...

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he looks up at the CO, then turns to the crowd:: All : we have chosen to write our own vows... ::he turns to Aurora, as he takes out a small piece of paper..::

FCO_Tim says:  ::puts attention to the CTO::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::yawns... hates weddings::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Kicks Bateman::

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles sympathetically at the XO's discomfort::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::sits up, embarrassed::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he reads it, then puts the paper back in his pocket, then turns his full attention to Aurora::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Shakes his head disapprovingly::

B`Lyn says:  ::Finds the other kid in the room and watches::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::grins sheepishly::

CMO_Varr says:  ::is privately amused at the variety of reactions to this ceremony::

CTO_Tealk says:  Aurora : The image of your face is etched on my heart.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Shakes his head again, and turns back::

FCO_Tim says:  ::looks over at Bateman in disgust and nods head::

Kai says:  ::whispers:: Carrie:  when can I eat the cake? ::whining::

B`Lyn says:  ::Whiles sitting next to Zandra::

OPS_Zax says:  ::sighs::

CTO_Tealk says:  Aurora : The familiarity of your touch is engraved  deep within my mind.

Aurora says:  ::smiles gently at Tealk::

Snoopy says:  ::IN his dream, the cake suddenly comes to life, and chases him, he whimpers::

CO_Vn`dor says:  <Carrie> ::whispering::  K'ai:  In a minute hunny.  Just be patient.  ::smiling but her attention never leaves the podium::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::tries to keep his eyes from drooping while listening to the groom::

Kai says:  ::whining higher pitched::  But I'm hungry........

Snoopy says:  ::Wakes up from K'ai's wining, covers his poor puppy ears::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::About to give Bateman another sharp kick::

OPS_Zax says:  ::thinking how lucky Aurora is::

CO_Vn`dor says:  <Carrie>  ::makes a 'shushing' sound::  K'ai:  You should have ate your breakfast like I asked you too.

Kai says:  ::Isa paws at the puppy::

Snoopy says:  ::Prepares to eat the cat if it continues to paw him::

FCO_Tim says:  ::Looks at Bateman in disgust and takes sip of water::

CNS_Luna says:  ::sniffles and wipes her eyes::

CTO_Tealk says:  Aurora : To be far from you is a nightmare.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::wonders why everyone seems so mad at him::

Kai says:  Carrie::  but I did, all of it..  I always eat...  I don’t know when I’ll eat again...  no one is eating that can't I have some now?

CTO_Tealk says:  Aurora : To be near you is heaven.

CMO_Varr says:  ::considers slipping Bateman a stimulant just to save him some embarrassment, but dismisses the thought::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::looking out to the gathering at his wife and smiling::

CTO_Tealk says:  Aurora : May my life be heaven, always. ::he smiles, as he finishes his text::

Snoopy says:  ::Nods along with K'ai, agreeing entirely::

Aurora says:  ::takes a deep breath::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::thinks he should've gotten more sleep last night instead of doing that manifest for the CEO::

FCO_Tim says:  ::refocuses his attention to the ceremony at hand::

Aurora says:  ::Smiles deeply into Tealk’s eyes with Shey standing before her::  CTO:  With open arms and an open mind you took the two of us within your heart and gave us your love unconditionally.  We come before you and our friends ::nods in general toward the crew:: to proclaim that we are yours.

Aurora says:  ::Looks down at Shey with a smile and takes the bouquet of feathers, ribbons and flowers the two of them had made and the watches her walk over to Zax::

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles and takes Shey's hand::

Aurora says:  ::Looks back up at Tealk with a smile of shyness and a glow of happiness::  CTO:  To you I pledge my mind, my soul and my heart unconditionally.  I will stand with you through the good times and the times of challenge, through joy and sorrow, through happiness and anger.

CO_Vn`dor says:  <Carrie> K'ai:  You have to try and be polite.   A ceremony such as this means a lot to the people on the stage.  ::points to Tealk and Aurora::   We don't want to ruin all of this for them now do we?

Aurora says:  CTO:  To your physical presence I wish to great each day and each night.  To your mind I wish to share all that I am.  To your soul I wish to rest my spirit within.  To your heart I lay down my life.  And with all that I give, I take on all that is you.

CMO_Varr says:  ::is deeply moved as well and wonders if this would be a bad time to leave to use the head::

Aurora says:  CTO:  I claim thee as the father of shi'alchini, lover of my body, protector of our family, my husband.  I will love thee for all time.

Kai says:  Carrie:  NO... ::  feels she hurt  their feelings and gets really quiet and sad::

Aurora says:  CTO:  As all follow the circle of life binding us as one ::glances at the captain then back at Tealk, she lifts her hand to her heart, then touches Tealk's heart, then holds her wrist up to the captain::  I join my path with yours and mind my life to yours.

FCO_Tim says:  ::pets snoopy::

CSO_Larek says:  ::hurries to the holodeck and discreetly enters::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::pats the dog::

B`Lyn says:  ::Sees a furry creature with a tail in the aisle, becomes a little fidgety::

Kai says:  ::pulls her knees up, Isa  crawls up around her shoulders, lays her head on her knees::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::applauds politely::

Jolade says:  ::hears the XO's thoughts, and agrees::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CTO/Aurora:  Congratulations on joining a much larger universe.   Aurora:  May I?  ::motions to kiss her on the cheek::

Snoopy says:  ::Whimpers and is carried away::

Aurora says:  ::nods shyly at the captain::

Snoopy says:  ::Gives K'ai the "Your CEO is going to kill me now, goodbye, and I'll get that stupid cat in my next life" look::

CMO_Varr says:  ::applauds with the rest::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::looks up at the Captain:: Oh!!! There's something else...

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Ignores the dog whimpering, and holds him awkwardly::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::motions to Vraylle, asking him for something::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::leans in and gently kisses her then turns to the CTO and stretches out his hand::  CTO:  Congratulations Commander.  ::smiling::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS/CMO: Yes when they come down this aisle to exit the room you through the grain at them

Kai says:  ::sighs:: Carrie:  is the CO done? ::bored sound::

B`Lyn says:  ::Hears all the sounds and looks up, wondering if that hurts::

CTO_Tealk says:  All : Wait, wait wait.. ::blushes inside::

CNS_Luna says:  FCO:  Ready when you are

XO_Vraylle says:  ::wondering why Tealk waited till now, produces the rings from behind his back::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: Ok, soon I hope and follow my lead ok?

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks at Tealk questioningly::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he takes the rings, and gives one to Aurora...::

CTO_Tealk says:  All : This is an Old earth Custom...

Aurora says:  ::takes the ring::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he takes Aruroa's hand, and the ring he holds::

CMO_Varr says:  ::shrugs marginally but readies himself to throw the packet of grain::

CO_Vn`dor says:  <Carrie>  ::nods at K'ai::  K'ai:  I think it is safe to go get some cake after the cutting ceremony is finished.  ::stands and takes K'ai's hand::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he slips it in her finger:: With this ring.. I thee wed...

CNS_Luna says:  CMO:  open the packet and throw only the grain, sir

CO_Vn`dor says:  <Carrie>  ::motions for K'ai to wait as she notices the ceremony isn't finished::

Kai says:  Carrie:  cutting ceremony?  boy do you guys have weird things about food.  ::pouts::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::ponders the symbolism here::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS/CMO: Not yet on my mark.

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles through her tears::

CNS_Luna says:  ::wipes tears from eyes::

CTO_Tealk says:  ~~~do the same love~~~

Aurora says:  ::looks up at Tealk as he slides the ring onto her finger... then takes hers and slides it upon his::

CSO_Larek says:  ::emotion, so illogical::

CMO_Varr says:  CNS: Oh... I can't say this makes any more sense... ::opens the packet taking some grain in his other hand::

Aurora says:  ~~~~CTO:  Like this?~~~~~  ::chuckles::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he smiles::

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles at Shey::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: What do you think so far T.J.? ::whispers::

CEO_Wilkens says:  FCO: I've been to weddings before. I must say, though, this is the 
best...

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Yes T.J. by far the best for me too ::whispers::

Aurora says:  CTO:  Now what?

XO_Vraylle says:  ::wonders that himself::

CTO_Tealk says:  Aurora : Well.. There is the table we set up over by the lake.. :motions out there..

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::steps down from the raised area and walks toward Carrie and K'ai::

Aurora says:  ::nods and follows::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::nearly falls asleep in his chair::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Still holding the dog::

FCO_Tim says:  ::gets ready to throw the grain::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Drops the dog on Bateman's lap::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::walks in the direction:: All Folks... Care to follow us??

OPS_Zax says:  ::follows the bride and groom with Shey::

Kai says:  ::sad look on her face::

B`Lyn says:  ::watches everyone move and jumps up to follow::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::follows Tealk from a short distance::

CNS_Luna says:  FCO:  Now?

Lt_Bateman says:  ::bolts upright:: Ahhh!  Oh... oh... ::sees the dog::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Follows behind everyone::

FCO_Tim says:  CNS: I do not know?

Lt_Bateman says:  ::sees everyone leaving::

Zandra says:  :: follows the leader, keeping an eye on B`Lyn at the same time ::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Grabs the dog back up again:: Snoopy: Thanks... Now, what shall I name you?

FCO_Tim says:  ::stands up and follows the CEO::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::gets up and follows everyone else::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::reaches Carrie and kisses her gently then looks down at K'ai::  K'ai:  So... did you enjoy the ceremony?

Aurora says:  ::turns to Zax::  Zax:  The bouquet is yours.... for luck.

CNS_Luna says:  ::throws rice at he bride and groom::

B`Lyn says:  ::sees the soldier who had that rude thought::

CMO_Varr says:  ::follows suit... or at least the CNS::

CSO_Larek says:  ::follows the group::

OPS_Zax says:  ::takes it:: Thank you....::hugs Aurora

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Carrying the dog, gently::

OPS_Zax says:  Aurora: Congratulations!

FCO_Tim says:  ::Also throws the rice::

B`Lyn says:  ::Whispers:: Zandra: That's him..

Aurora says:  ::gives Zax a hug::  OPS:  Thanks

CNS_Luna says:  ::notices flying rice all over the place::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::tosses up some rice::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::stands at a polite distance, watching::

Zandra says:  :: looks at B’Lyn :: B`Lyn: That's who ah.. wha?

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks at the CTO::  CTO: Congratulations, Sir

Lt_Bateman says:  CEO: So, ugh... who got married again?

B`Lyn says:  Zandra: You don't remember?

Kai says:  ::shrugs at the  CO::  I didn't really understand why they had to have all that mushy stuff and why I can't have some of that cake.  Carrie wont' let me  go get a handful.

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: T.J. do you want some cake?

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: Thank God, it wasn't you... ::Walks away with the FCO::

Zandra says:  :: looks at B`Lyn puzzlely :: B`Lyn: remind me.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he takes Zax's hand:: OPS : Thank you Lt.. For everything..

Lt_Bateman says:  ::watches FCO and CEO walk away, and shrugs::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Let us get away form Bateman and get some cake. Sounds good?

Jolade says:  CTO/Aurora:  Commander, Ma'am, I believe the term is 'Congratulations', and I have a gift for you, ::hands the CTO a Isolinear chip:: This contains recordings of Etudes, Vulcan Jazz, if the computer records are correct composed by Delvok

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::waits in line to congratulate the new couple:: FCO: Absolutely

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles at the CTO::  CTO: No, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::smiles at K'ai::  K'ai:  You'll understand someday little one.  And we do not eat cake by the handfuls.  We use a plate and a fork like at home.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Spots Jolade, and frowns::

Aurora says:  ::looks down at her daughter::  Shey:  be good with Zax shiche'e'

CTO_Tealk says:  ::looks somewhat suspiciously at Jolade, but takes the chip::

B`Lyn says:  CEO was mean.  He was suppose to bring me back from below, and when he asked me to follow him I asked him why.  He thought, "because I have a phaser and you don

FCO_Tim says:  ::stand next to the CEO and inline:: CEO: Can not wait to say my blessings eh?

OPS_Zax says:  Aurora: Don't worry, we'll be fine

Aurora says:  Jolade:  Thank you for the gift.. ::smiles at the small one::

CNS_Luna says:  ::gets in line::

CSO_Larek says:  ::walks up to CEO,FCO::Greetings.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::gets in line for some cake::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CSO: Hi, Larek!

Aurora says:  ::nods at Zax::  OPS:  Thanks again for taking her.

Jolade says:  ::Bows to them both, and walks away::

CO_Vn`dor says:  <Carrie>  K'ai:  What do you say we go get some of that cake now.  ::looking to the CO for acknowledgment::

FCO_Tim says:  CSO: Hello Larek. How are you this day?

Zandra says:  :: glances up at the person whom B`Lyn was pointing to. :: B`Lyn: sometimes, we just have to forgive and forget.... :: smiles :: And that is also why we don't pry into other people's mind unless we have to.

OPS_Zax says:  Aurora: No problem...you just enjoy yourself, she's fine with me

Aurora says:  ::smiles::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::pulls at his uniform to straighten it again...how it needs it after standing motionless is beyond him::

CMO_Varr says:  ::not being interested in cake finds himself standing near the XO in short manner:: XO: Sir.

Kai says:  CO: am I allowed to do anything here? ::looks up at him ::

CSO_Larek says:  ::looks at FCO::FCO: The day has been eventful.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::nods to the CMO:: CMO: Doctor.

FCO_Tim says:  CSO: Yes it has Larek. Yes it has.

CO_Vn`dor says:  K'ai:  Why don't you go congratulate the couple and I'll get your cake?

Kai says:  CO: congratulate them for what? ::confused::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Are we next T.J.?

Kai says:  ::doesn't quite get the whole marriage idea::

B`Lyn says:  Zandra: Can I look around? I thought I saw another girl in here.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Approaches the CTO, through line, and smiles, extending his hand:: FCO: Yes. CTO: My sincere congratulations, Tealk!

Zandra says:  B`Lyn: sure.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::accepts a piece of cake and a fork::

Aurora says:  ::smiles at TJ, glad he is much better::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::kneels down beside her::  K'ai:  Remember, I explained this to you at home?  This is a VERY special moment for Tealk, your friend, and Aurora.  You should go talk to them and tell them how happy you are for them.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::stands motionless some more, watching all this senseless and unproductive socializing::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::eyes TJ with a smile:: TJ : Thank you TJ..

B`Lyn says:  Zandra: Yes!   ::begins to wander off around the crew::

FCO_Tim says:  CTO: Congratulates Tealk, has a long and happy marriage. ::extents hand for hand shake::

CEO_Wilkens says:  Aurora: And to you as well... I quite reasonably owe you my life... Thank you.

Kai says:  CO: my father didn't stay with her, and neither did Shey

OPS_Zax says:  ::standing in the receiving line with Shey::

Aurora says:  CEO:  TJ, it was my honor.... thanks for being here.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods to both, and steps away, into the crowd, waiting for Tim::

CMO_Varr says:  XO: Thank you for approving my request for the schedule changes allowing my staff more time away from their duties.  The past few days have been unreasonably stressful on them all.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::walks away with his cake::

CSO_Larek says:  ::sees the XO and walks over::Greetings Commander.

CEO_Wilkens says:  Aurora: Wouldn't miss it!

Kai says:  s  , so Tealk is with  shey's mom  why is everyone so happy?  ::sighs::  but I'll  go... ::plodds off:

FCO_Tim says:  Aurora: You look wonderful and congratulates.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::shakes the FCO's hand:: FCO : Thank you...

Aurora says:  ::smiles::

Aurora says:  FCO:  Thank you...

Lt_Bateman says:  ::sits down under a shady, secluded holo-tree::

B`Lyn says:  :::Walks up to a table with food on it::

XO_Vraylle says:  CMO: Of course. Most non-Vulcans require more off-duty time. I have learned to accept that.

FCO_Tim says:  CTO/Aurora: You both are most welcomed. Congratulates again you two.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::starts eating his cake::

Aurora says:  ::smiles::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Shall we get desert T.J.?

OPS_Zax says:  ::talking to Shey::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::nods to the CSO:: CSO: Lieutenant.

Kai says:  ::walks over to Aurora and Tealk::  Hello... The  Captain said to say..Con..grat. ::cant' thin the rest of the word::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::grudgingly realizes that he should offer his congratulations as well::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Approaches Bateman, with the dog:: FCO: Yes, I suppose so...::Turns away::...

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::looks to the ground briefly::  K'ai:  Little one...  sometimes, people change and they do not change together.  One gets set in their ways... there are a lot of reasons but what matters is they are happy now.  It is difficult to explain.  ::brushing her hair with his hand::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::looks up at the CEO:: CEO: Hello, sir.

CSO_Larek says:  CMO: Greetings Doctor.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::takes another bite of cake::

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: Hello.

Kai says:  s  , so Tealk is with  shey's mom  why is everyone so happy?  ::sighs::  but I'll  go... ::plodds off:

FCO_Tim says:  ::follows CEO to the cake:: CEO: So do you enjoy this stuff T.J.? The cakes I mean?

Aurora says:  ::comes down to Ka'is level::  Kai:  Thank you.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::steps up to the happy couple, behind Kai::

Kai says:  ::ignore the CO::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::motions toward dog:: CEO: Did you find out where he came from?

CMO_Varr says:  CSO:  Hello Lt.  How did you find the ceremony?

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Takes his piece of cake, and heads back over to Bateman:: FCO: Immensely... If you'll excuse me?

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he lowers himself, and picks Kai up::

CTO_Tealk says:  Kai : How are you doing little one?

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::stands back up never fully realizing the burdens of parenthood until now::

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: I wish I knew... I don't suppose you'd like a pet? ::Smiles::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Yes T.J.?  ::gets a slice::

Kai says:  ::feels  someone behind her and look sup and jumps into Tealk’s arms scared to death of the XO::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::step up to fill the space left by the fleeing child::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::grins:: CEO: Well, not one that let go on my boss's shoe.

CSO_Larek says:  CMO: Interesting, although I fail to find the logic from its emotional standpoint, but still interesting.

XO_Vraylle says:  CTO/Aurora: My congratulations.

FCO_Tim says:  ::walks up the CO:: CO: Wonderful wedding eh Captain?

Aurora says:  ::withholds a smile at the childs actions and turns to smile at the XO::  XO:  Commander...  Thank you.

Kai says:  ::screams at the XO::

CNS_Luna says:  ::notices XO intimidating a child::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Sourly:: Bateman: I suppose so...

FCO_Tim says:  CO: Wonderful wedding eh Captain?

XO_Vraylle says:  ::raises an eyebrow::

B`Lyn says:  ::Hears the girl scream. Runs over to see what is going on::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he smiles at Vraylle, while holding Kai in his arms:: XO : Thank you Vraylle..I was very happy you could be here.. I only wish the Artemis crew could have been here as well..

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: So, according to your service record, you worked hardest at the Academy, graduated with honors, and now the Pendragon is your first deep space assignment; pending your placement to the Starbase. Correct?

Aurora says:  ::gently takes the child and hushes her::  Kai:  you know everything is all right 
and no one here would harm you.

CMO_Varr says:  ::nods:: CSO: I am told it is meant to reinforce the emotional ties.  Why the CTO would require one is beyond me, but I think it may have more to do with the preferences of his new wife.

Jolade says:  ::Dematerializes the Gala Event, and then materializes in the Battle Bridge, monitoring the ship's course to his homeworld::

CO_Vn`dor says:  FCO:   Yes very good one.  My first that I had to perform Ensign.  How did you like it?  Was it similar to your human weddings at all?

XO_Vraylle says:  ::nods:: CTO: Many....friends are there. ::says the word uneasily::

Kai says:  Aurora:  But he did he hurt me I see him touch me then I woke  up in sick bay he's mean !

CTO_Tealk says:  ::Tealk smiles, holding the memories of the Artemis close..::

FCO_Tim says:  CO: Well sir it was wonderful, but I have only been to Rigel 4 wedding. I lived there most of my life.

Lt_Bateman says:  CEO: No, not quite... my first deep space assignment was on the front lines during the Dominion war.  After the war, I was assigned to Starbase 333, then I transferred here five weeks ago.

OPS_Zax says:  ::feeling sorry for both K'ai and the XO::

Aurora says:  ::looks a bit confused from the child to the Vulcan::  Kai:  but you are here and you are well.... there was probably a good reason for things.  Have you ever asked?

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: And since then, worked yourself non-stop...

XO_Vraylle says:  ::offers his hand to Tealk in a congratulatory shake::

CO_Vn`dor says:  FCO:  Really!?   What is a wedding like on Rigel IV?  ::genuinely interested::

B`Lyn says:  ::Is now standing nearby K`ai and the XO. Listens to what she is saying::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::tries to get his hand out but really can't, while he's holding Kai::

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: I'd like you to stop by my office, in ME, during alpha shift. 1900 hours.

CSO_Larek says:  ::decides to walk over to the couple::Congratulations.

CEO_Wilkens says:  Bateman: I'd like to see about having you reassigned to Beta.

Kai says:  :: squirms down and goes in search for the cake and  as far as she can from the 
XO::

CTO_Tealk says:  :shakes Vraylle's hand, as son as Aurora takes Kai::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::looks surprised:: CEO: Beta? I... see. U-understood, sir.

CMO_Varr says:  ::feels a bit discomfited that the CSO just left him in mid conversation, but shrugs mentally - Vulcans::

FCO_Tim says:  CO: Well sir it states where everyone gathers at "The Caves of Good Fortune" to pray to the alien or god for the deposits of element then a Vulcan/human ceremony after that. Much like this ring and so forth.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::smiles at the CSO :: Thank you Larek..

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Nods:: Bateman: Thank you, Lieutenant. If you'll excuse me/

Aurora says:  ::shakes her head at Kai and turns back to Vraylle::

B`Lyn says:  ::watches K`ai jump down and follows her::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Moves away from Bateman::

Kai says:  ::pull’s on the CO’s tunic::

Aurora says:  CSO:  Larek, thank you.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::offers his hand to Aurora in turn::

CSO_Larek says:  ::nods and walks back to the Doctor:: Is that a common practice in 
these ceremonies Doctor?

OPS_Zax says:  ::leads Shey over to the refreshments::

Aurora says:  ::a bit surprised, takes Vraylle’s hand::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Approaches the Captain and FCO:: FCO/CO: Hello, Ensign... Sir...

CO_Vn`dor says:  FCO:  I see!   Isn’t it funny how no matter where you go in this galaxy, many of the customs are almost identical?  ::looks down at K'ai::

CNS_Luna says:  ::walks up to CEO::  CEO:  did you enjoy the wedding, sir?

XO_Vraylle says:  Aurora: Congratulations. ::after shaking hands, nods to the two of them and departs::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::finishes his cake and walks back to everyone else::

CEO_Wilkens says:  CNS: Quite, thank you. Umm...::Awkwardly, holding the dog::... I suppose you've talked to the Doctor?

Lt_Bateman says:  ::straightens his uniform::

Aurora says:  ::thought Vulcans did not shake hands::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO:  T.J..   How did I do?  ::motioning to the podium on the stage?

B`Lyn says:  ::Stops and watches K`ai and the CO::

FCO_Tim says:  CEO: Hello T.J. Enough of Bateman. CO: Yes it is and I never thought of it that way.

CNS_Luna says:  CEO:  we are concerned for you.  Is everything alright?

Kai says:  CO: did you get me any cake?  and I did as you told me. even if   the  big guy tried to scare me again .

CMO_Varr says:  CSO:  I am not very familiar with them myself.  I have not had opportunity to attend a wedding before.  The colony I came from was quite a bit more, simplistic.

OPS_Zax says:  ::walks over to CEO::  CEO: Nice dog, Sir...what's his name?

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: Great, sir. I'd say it ties for first place... Along with Admiral Alexander's...

Aurora says:  ::looks at Tealk seeing that most of the line has gone through::  CTO:  now what?

FCO_Tim says:  ::bend down at K'ai:: K'ai: Hello. Who are you?

CEO_Wilkens says:  CNS: With just reasoning, I suppose... But I'm fine, really...

CMO_Varr says:  CSO: But I imagine that it would not hurt relations with the hosts, so if you will please excuse me...

CSO_Larek says:  CMO: I see, a simple ceremony would be logical.

Kai says:  ::backs behind the  CO::

CSO_Larek says:  ::nods::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::walks to a quiet spot and resumes standing motionless::

CNS_Luna says:  CEO:  Glad to hear it, sir.

CEO_Wilkens says:  OPS: He just sort of... showed up... I guess I'm keeping him, unless an owner can be found.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::he looks at Aurora:: Well... The Captain was kind enough to grant me special Holodeck privileges.. And a few days... ::grins::

B`Lyn says:  ::Hears K`ai and wonders what cake is. sounds good::

FCO_Tim says:  K'ai: I will not hurt you at all, I am Tim. The FCO.

Aurora says:  ::looks up at the CMO approaching::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::walks around, not seeing anyone he knows::

OPS_Zax says:  ::pats dogs head:: CEO: He's cute... I'm sure you'll get along really well

CO_Vn`dor says:  CEO:  Really!?  I'm honoured.  You aren't just saying that because I'm your CO now are you?  ::smiles then grabs T.J.'s shoulder::

Kai says:  ::peaks around the CO::  FCO:  hello....

CMO_Varr says:  ::heads over to the couple:: CTO/Aurora: I wish to convey my good wishes to you in this endeavor. ::sounding a bit awkward::

CSO_Larek says:  ::stands alone looking around::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Glances at his shoe:: OPS: I'm sure we will... A bit of an odd couple, huh?

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::looks down at K'ai::  K'ai:  What is the matter there little one?

FCO_Tim says:  CO: K'ai is part Romulan right?

CEO_Wilkens says:  CO: No, sir! ::Grins lightly::

OPS_Zax says:  CEO: Not at all, sir

Aurora says:  CMO:  Doctor, thank you... and thank you for everything since my coming aboard... even if our paths don't often cross.

B`Lyn says:  ::thinks that at her reaction, a lot of the crew must not be nice to children::

CMO_Varr says:  ::is careful to look more at the CTO than Aurora, mindful of previous events::

Kai says:  CO: did you get me my cake? :: eyes the  FCO::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::smiles awkwardly at the CMO:: CM O : I.. well.. I just hope I will be able to behave properly in the future..

OPS_Zax says:  ::sniffs the air::  CEO: Do you smell something?

CO_Vn`dor says:  FCO:  Correct.  How did you know?  I mean the differences between Vulcan and Romulan are so slight.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::watches the crew waste time with frivolous pursuits::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Spots the XO. Self: Hmm, that's strange, even for him...::

Aurora says:  ::touches the CMOs arm gently::  CMO:  Varr, it is all right.

CEO_Wilkens says:  OPS:Umm, nope, I guess not... I have to be going...

CMO_Varr says:  Aurora: It has been an honor to be of service to both of you.  ::bowing head slightly hoping that sounded right::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Quickly moves away, staring the dog straight in the eyes::

FCO_Tim says:  ::looks down at K'ai:: K'ai: Hello how are you this day? CO: I guessed cause she is not logical sir and the facial features.

OPS_Zax says:  ::looks confused::

CO_Vn`dor says:  ::reaches for the nearby table::  K'ai:  Right here  ::smiles and hands her the slice of cake::  Now, you sit here and eat it with the fork like we taught you ok?

CEO_Wilkens says:  XO: Sir... Am I bothering you? ::Approaches him::

Lt_Bateman says:  ::stands by a tree, all alone::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::almost looks relieved:: CEO: Not at all, Commander.

OPS_Zax says:  ::walks over to the XO:: XO: Nice party, sir

Aurora says:  ::smiles at the doctor::  CMO:  We are honored ::then chuckles::

Kai says:  CO: ok.. ::takes seat : and starts to eat with fork but licks fingers for the icing::

OPS_Zax says:  ::notices Shey needs another drink::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::raises an eyebrow to OPS:: OPS: If you insist. I fail to see the use.

CEO_Wilkens says:  XO: Thank you, sir. You don't seem to be enjoying the festivities, sir. 
In fact... you've been acting a bit distracted lately... Is there something wrong?

FCO_Tim says:  CO: May I look after her sir. I have allot in common with her?

Kai says:  FCO: I don’t like being talked about!

XO_Vraylle says:  CEO: I simply do not see the usefulness of this activity.

CMO_Varr says:  ::cringes realizing that he must sound the fool:: Aurora/CTO:  If you will excuse me now.  :leaves without waiting for an answer::

CTO_Tealk says:  ::looks around, seeing if there is anyone left to greet them::

B`Lyn says:  ::Slowly approaches K`ai:: K`ai: Hello?

FCO_Tim says:  K'ai: Ok I will stop. Just for you.

Aurora says:  ::heads after the CMO and catches his arm::

CO_Vn`dor says:  FCO:  Yes, the facial features are a little different I guess.  As far as the logic goes, even a Vulcan would be illogical without the training, and a Romulan could be completely logical with the proper upbringing.

Kai says:  :: wary of B'Lyn::  Who are you  ?

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles at the XO:: XO: Does it have to have a use, Sir?

CTO_Tealk says:  ::follows Aurora::  Varr.. Please.. wait..

Aurora says:  CMO:  I seem to have offended you... that was not my intent.

CEO_Wilkens says:  XO: Well, from a Vulcan's point of view...::Thinks for a moment::... It 
provides crew morale... Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it, even a little bit?

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: It is a waste of resources otherwise. And we are far from readily available resources.

CSO_Larek says:  ::sees the Captain and walks over::Greetings Captain.

XO_Vraylle says:  CEO: I do not "enjoy" activities, as you put it.

B`Lyn says:  K`ai: I am B`Lyn Ley`Ash.   I am staying on this vessel for a little while...You look like you are about my age?  You are the first one I have seen since I came here.

FCO_Tim says:  CO: Yes sir you are correct. So what do you say sir, can I watch her. This is the only one I really do not know.

CEO_Wilkens says:  XO: If I may say so, sir... This is a little more than just a "waste of resources." Are you sure nothing's wrong?

CEO_Wilkens says:  XO: I see. I stand corrected, sir.

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Agreed, Sir....but sometimes the mental health of the crew is paramount, Sir

Kai says:  B:  I guess so...::wary::

CMO_Varr says:  ::stops at the hand on his arm and turns to look in Aurora's large dark eyes::  Aurora: No, you did not.  CTO/Aurora:  I am... happy... for you both, and simply wish you continued success.  I am not always best at expressing that though.

Lt_Bateman says:  ::watches everyone else mingle::

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Silently agrees with OPS::

B`Lyn says:  ::Points to the cake:: K`ai: What is that?

FCO_Tim says:  K'ai: How old are you?

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: I disagree. Their survival is paramount. Their mental health can be tended to later. Our current situation is adequately dire as it stands.

Aurora says:  ::nods at the doctor::  CMO:  I understand, truly I do... and your wishes are most welcome.  You are part of this family... in away part of ours.

FCO_Tim says:  CO: Yes sir you are correct. So what do you say sir, can I watch her. This is the only one I really do not know.

Kai says:  B: It's cake....  I dont' get if often never had it until a month or so ago.  ::turns attention to FCO:;  Oh I'm 9  . ::back to B::

CO_Vn`dor says:  CSO:  Lieutenant Larek.   I haven't been able to talk to you much lately, how have you been?

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Emotional beings need the release, Sir...or they can die from unhappiness as well

B`Lyn says:  K`ai: Is it good?

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: Fortunately, being "emotional" is not a weakness that Vulcans 
share.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::Tealk nods:: CMO : I apologize if I made you feel differently, with that.. 
Episode..

FCO_Tim says:  K'ai: That is ok. B is your age I am a little older than you so.....it is ok.

CSO_Larek says:  CO: Everything is agreeable sir.

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Some of us consider that weakness a blessing ::smiles gently::

CMO_Varr says:  Aurora: You are...  Thank you.  CTO: As we spoke before, it is forgotten 
between us.

Kai says:  B:  here try ..  cuts her piece of her's and  gives it to her.   the Captain says there is plenty so I can share.

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: So I have been told.

Kai says:  FCO:  What do you want exactly?

Aurora says:  CMO:  Dance with me later....

B`Lyn says:  K`ai: That's alright! I can get some, but thank you. Please, have plenty!

OPS_Zax says:  XO: I think we can agree to disagree on this matter, Sir

B`Lyn says:  ::looks over to the table and levitates a piece of cake over the heads of people and into her hands::

CO_Vn`dor says:  FCO:  If she agrees Ensign, I do not see why not.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::raises an eyebrow:: OPS: That would be the most efficient solution.

CEO_Wilkens says:  ::Moves away from Vraylle, to get a cup of tea::

CEO_Wilkens says:  <Vraylle>

B`Lyn says:  ::takes a bite and has a big mouthful of frosting::

OPS_Zax says:  ::smiles back::

CNS_Luna says:  ::is impressed by B'Lyn's abilities::

CMO_Varr says:  ::freaks out inside He Does Not Know How To Dance but feel it would be wrong to refuse:: Aurora: Of course.

XO_Vraylle says:  OPS: If you will excuse me... ::looks eagerly at the exit::

Kai says:  ::Raises her  slanted eyebrows and what  B did::  How did you do that?

OPS_Zax says:  XO: Of course, Sir

Aurora says:  ::looks at the doctor with wise eyes::  CMO:  It will be a very simple slow one... I will show you... later.....

XO_Vraylle says:  ::heads for the exit::

FCO_Tim says:  K'ai: I do not know maybe that you remind me of me a tad. I looked a bit like you when I was smaller and my grandpa was a Romulan.

B`Lyn says:  ::tries to swallow all the icing:: K`ai: Mhoh hhmp.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::Tealk spots Vraylle leaving.. :: Aurora : I will be right back.. ::goes after 
him::

CMO_Varr says:  ::eyes the CTO to make sure he is fine with the arrangement::

B`Lyn says:  ::swallows again:: K`ai: I just do. I think about moving it here and it comes.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::hears Tealk coming and stops:: CTO: Commander?

OPS_Zax says:  ::watches XO....thinks he is secretly happy for the couple::

CMO_Varr says:  ::shrugs mentally:: Aurora: I look forward to it.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::eyes him carefully:: XO : Something wrong Vraylle?

Aurora says:  CMO:  It is fine... honest... later...

Kai says:  FCO: what is a  grand-paw?   is that like a bear? or one of  Isa's feet?  only bigger?

XO_Vraylle says:  CTO: Not at all.

Kai says:  B:  wish I had that when I was  on the streets Isa and I wouldn’t  have gone hungry

CTO_Tealk says:  XO: You seem.. More distant than usual...

Aurora says:  ::turns to observe the beautiful setting, engraving it all in her heart::

FCO_Tim says:  K'ai: My grandfather. He was named Payvik. He was Romulan.

XO_Vraylle says:  ::looks at the CTO for a moment:: CTO: I am...concerned.

OPS_Zax says:  ::walks over to CMO:: CMO: Beautiful ceremony....

CMO_Varr says:  OPS: That it was.  I see you enjoyed it, if your tears were any indicator.

CTO_Tealk says:  ::nods, but stays silent, as if he was listening for the rest::

B`Lyn says:  K`ai: Do you know what all this was about?  And who is Isa?  And what was that creature with a tail that blessed that man? ::referring to CEO::

OPS_Zax says:  CMO: I certainly did....it brought back wonderful memories

Kai says:  FCO:  Oh....  my mom way.  but  they took her home. They left me behind. ::continues to eat, icing is on her face::

B`Lyn says:  ::Takes another big bite of cake, like K`ai is::

XO_Vraylle says:  ::hands Tealk his ever-present PADD, which contains his modified warp engine design for the Pendragon::

Kai says:  B:  I don’t understand it either, at least I can eat that's what I care about.   Isa is her  ::points to the animal in her lap:: that thing was a dog I think and that was  him leaving a  mess

CMO_Varr says:  ::eyes Zax for a moment then realization dawns:: OPS: Ah... Past hosts.

FCO_Tim says:  K'ai: I am sorry. Do you want to play or something. What is your favorite game?

B`Lyn says:  ::Swallows again:: FCO: Who are you?

FCO_Tim says:  B'Lyn: I fly the ship

CMO_Varr says:  OPS: How many times have you been married?

B`Lyn says:  FCO: Interesting.  What is your name?

OPS_Zax says:  CMO: 7 times ::sighs::
