::looks around at the hall filling up and looks to see if all are present::

OPS_Mayfair says:
CTO: I have read your request and I will need to schedule a meeting to work out our cloak problem but I guess we can talk about that later.

CTO_Augustus says:
OPS: May I assist you with something Commander Mayfair? :;as he deactivates the PADD and puts it away::

OPS: I am unaware of what request in recent weeks there have been several

CTO: I know Lt like i said we will need to schedule a meeting

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Sees the XO's motion and walks over to him:

CEO_Q`tor says:
::smiles a big toothy Klingon grin:: OPS: I do not believe that "charming" is the word I would choose to describe the Chief, but perhaps I do not see him in the same light as you do.

OPS_Mayfair says:
::smiles at Q'tor and turns to look at the admiral::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Coming to the positionof attention and waits::

Host Adm_Dako says:
All: At ease, this is a party . And as such, I would like to lift some of the "usual restrictions" if there are no objections? After all I am not so long out of the fleet ::grins::

XO_Gleisen says:
CO: I know what you mean, I don't think anyone...no wait I only know one person who likes them.

CMO_Kymar says:
::glares at the food being brought in::

Host Adm_Dako says:
All; We have plenty of food , here so  grab a plate and grab what you will and meanwhile I will try to get done with this "required speech" no sense wasting time that we could be drinking

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: She's gotta be joking. ::Rolls eyes::

XO_Gleisen says:
::gets up at the offer of getting food:: CO: I don't think she was sir...unbelievable or not.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Reaches over and hands the gift to Dako::

CEO_Q`tor says:
::follows Mayfair to the food table::

Host Adm_Dako says:
All; I know many have never served with me, but I think I always ran a good ship and was fair to my crew, and they were usually fair back.  I did demand performance from the men, but that is what we should all do...

CTO_Augustus says:
::Gladius comes across something he never saw before in the reports and in his evaluations of the debris field::

Host Adm_Dako says:

ADM D: Not bad sir. But why are the glasses so small. Surely this can not quench one's thirst.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Gets caught up in a toss up of having to talk to Admiral Harlan or Lt. Augustus::

Aide_Summers says:
Adm H: Aye. ::waits patiently::

XO_Gleisen says:
::sighs, not getting through:: Computer, locate lieutenant Ranahi.

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: It is not meant to quench one's thirst but to provide fire in one's belly ::Smiles::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::smiles:: XO: Commander I believe he ditched us.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Tries to juggle the two conversationally speaking::

CTO_Augustus says:
::waits for the CO and Admiral to finish::

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: Ahh I see. A warriors drink.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Lifts a hand::  CO: I have to go.  Later, if we have time, I would like to speak with you.

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: Just so, you like Bladed weapons ?

Host Captain_Turner says:
Harlan: Admiral..............uhm.........sure. I'll see you shortly.

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Throws back her drink and hands the glass to her aide::

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Nods to the captain and heads over towards Dako::

Computer says:
XO: Lieutenant Ranahi is on deck 12.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns back to the CTO:: CTO: What is it Lieutenant?

Aide_Summers says:
::takes the glass and gives it to a waiter that is passing by::

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: I am a Klingon sir. It is my nature to appreciate fine blades

Host Adm_Harlan says:
Adm: Dako;  Enjoy the moment and may the winds be at your back with this experiment.  I must go.  Perhaps afterwards...

Aide_Summers says:
::follows Harlan to Dako, like she is her shadow::

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: You should look up their battle weapon, the claymore

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: He'll get his, later though. For now, I'm going to enjoy my dinner. ::takes another bite of the chow mein::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: The Qlb it was not found by the Argo, the only ships she detected was the warbirds

CTO_Augustus says:
::hands him the PADD with the info on it::

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: Whose battle weapon would that be sir?

Host Adm_Dako says:
Adm_H: Thank you for coming, and may the gods be with you. And thanks for the Scotch again

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: How does that figure?

Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Bows lightly::  Adm D:  My pleasure.  Don't drink it all until I get back... if we are still here.  ::Smiles and with a nod to the CEO in apology for interrupting, leaves.::

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: I'm worried about him

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: It was a blade carried by warriors of Scottland, could cut through plate armor

Aide_Summers says:
::raises an eyebrow at "the gods" comment::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: You see we were to far away at the time for them and the sensors to have detected us, in addition, they had their sensors focused in the other direction

CEO_Q`tor says:
::returns ADM H's bow:: ADM H: Admiral

Aide_Summers says:
::leaves with ADM Harlan::

Host Adm_Dako says:
::bows to Harlan as she leaves::

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: He has been on the Qib long enough and he still don't socialize a lot

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D:  Sounds like an impressive blade sir. I will be sure to look one up.

XO_Gleisen says:
OPS: I know, that's understandable, but ducking out of a crew event like this though...::shakes his head::

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: I have one in my bagage somewhere

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: In addition are harmonics were changed prior to our enchagement, they may have had the older settings but not the newer ones after departing the starbase after refit

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I see. Well once we're back to duty I want you to co-ordinate with Mr. Walker and Lt. Commander Q'tor on developing a "silent running" mode for us. Walker has some ideas I think you should hear.

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: It would be my honor to have a look at it sir

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: After this is done, perhaps

OPS_Mayfair says:
XO: Well I'll talk to him later. Now I will enjoy this ::takes a sip from her glass::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Make sure they consult Lt. Commander Mayfair regarding power distribution as well.

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: It would be an honor sir

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: That is just it I want to recalibrate the harmonics now!  The AI I had time to evaluate us and if the Admiral Dako is working on this project they could communicate that information toanother AI

CMO_Kymar says:
::finishes his glass of water and sets it down on the table in front of him::

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: I will bring my families bat'leth. It is one of the older styles, but has served the House of Qaveq well for many generations

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Cutting power allocations like that are essential and I believe Walker has the right idea, but if we work on the same frequencies we can be contacted just by that alone, like when we follow a warp signature

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: I would be honored to see it

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I think it can wait till we're all back on duty Lieutenant. Opportunities to relax like this don't come along often.

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: Then I will have it brought from my quarters sir

CTO_Augustus says:
::shakes his head, because he again feels that his advise is not hindered to or valuable enough::  CO: Aye Sir::Walks back to his table and drink to finish further evaluations of the problem::

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: I think there is little rush

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: As you say sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Thinks to himself "Does that guy EVER relax? He's going to give himself an ulcer."::

Host Adm_Dako says:
CEO: More Scotch ?

CEO_Q`tor says:
ADM D: Thank you sir

CEO_Q`tor says:
::holds the small glass out::

Host Adm_Dako says:
::reaches for the bottle::

Host Adm_Dako says:
::Fills the glass::

OPS_Mayfair says:
::finishes her food and goes back to get one more beer::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Gets up and walks over to CEO and Admiral Dako::

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO: Commander?

CEO_Q`tor says:
::drinks down the glass of Scotch::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Gladius! There you are!

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Grabs his drink and heads for the food looking for Admiral Harlan at the same time::

Host Adm_Dako says:
::pours some for the CTO:: Join us

CTO_Augustus says:
CEO/Admiral: Admiral congratulations,::holds out his hand::
