<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: In quarters changing into more comfortable Vulcan attire::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: in Science Lab Three, finishing a report before reporting to Nero's ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::in his quarters, staring at a blank screen, having just finished speaking with the admiral about the details of his transfer::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::in ready room finishing up last minute details before going to Nero's::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: At ease with the feel of the loose fitting garments...A good change from SF issue ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::already changed, he heads to Nero's, taking a detour through less busy corridors::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::On the bridge, monitoring the crew, checks chronometer::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: Detours to his own quarters on the way to Nero's ::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Leaves quarters and heads to Nero's to join the others::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::leaving Ready Room, he spots Pangborn:: Pangborn: Shall we proceed, Commander?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Enters the lounge and orders Alteran water ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning to one of the shift crew:: Lt. Nuff: You have the con.

Cherry_Red says:
::finishes cleaning the glasses in Nero's and wipes her hands on her apron::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::smiles:: Sulek: Lead the way Captain ::follows::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::heads into TL:: Nero's

Wikky says:
::walks among the tables and serves a Bloody Mary to a young officer::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::gets up and goes to Nero Lounge::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks into TL:: TL: Nero Lounge

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
::Notices the rather attractive female behind the bar::

Wikky says:
::nods at the FCO and quickly returns to the bar::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
::Returns the nod and sips drink::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: enters his quarters, picks up a covered platter he had left on a warming plate in a corner, and exits ::

Cherry_Red says:
::picks up tray and walks between the tables clearing them::

Wikky says:
Cherry:  Everybody is coming... we'd need extra hands tonight. ::picks up a clean glass::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::a few meters away from Nero's in an uncommonly traveled corridor, usually reserved for maintenance, tapping his fingers on the bulkhead::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Arrives at Nero's with Pangborn::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: You know it comes as no surprise to me that Mr. Everitt has been offered an executive officer position...I often wondered why he wasn't offered one before....

Cherry_Red says:
Wikky: I think we can handle everyone Wikky. You handle the bar and I'll take orders ok?

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::arrives at Nero Lounge::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Hmmm Cherry. Interesting name. Most appropriate too::

Wikky says:
::sees the Captain arriving with First Officer::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  He is indeed a fine officer.  He shall be missed.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: But he is very deserving of the position.

Cherry_Red says:
FCO: Commander, anything else I can you? ::leans forward so that her perfume wafts across Ved's face::

Wikky says:
Cherry:  Understood.  Go check the captain's and First Officer's orders.

Wikky says:
::picks up another glass and cleans it up::

Cherry_Red says:
::waves Wikky off:: Wikky: In a moment.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Any idea who his replacement is? I know of several junior officers. I'm sure Everitt will have his own recommendations.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks up to Ved:: FCO: Hey where is the man of the hour?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Looks around for the CEO:: Pangborn: It would seem that we are missing the guest of honor.  No.  The orders came through so suddenly, I have yet to give it much thought.

Wikky says:
::notices Cherry leaning towards the FCO and shakes head::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
Cherry: Yes another Alteran water please. :: The scent fills his nostrils and arouses certain unfamiliar response::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: enters Nero's and sets the platter down on a side table ::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: I'm unaware of Everitt's whereabouts, but he's never been known to miss a party.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
:;casually:: Sulek: Maybe he's holding off in order to "make an entrance" ::Grin::

Wikky says:
::returns some dishes to the replicator::

Cherry_Red says:
::smiles sweetly:: FCO: Right away Commander. ::moves slowly and deliberately away from Ved and back to the bar:: Wikky: Alteran water for the Commander please.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Or perhaps, saying goodbye to her.  Engineers form quite an attachment to their ships, I am told.

Wikky says:
::gets some Alteran water and puts it on Cherry's tray::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Think I should have the computer locate him?

Wikky says:
Cherry:  You need to check the Captain's order!  Go! ::shakes head::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: No. I would think he'd like one last walk about the ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::leading:: Sulek: You know, for a Vulcan you posses a good grasp of Human emotions

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::waits for a moment when he hears no one in the corridors, and then cautiously proceeds the last few steps to the lounge door::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: crosses to the Captain and XO :: Good evening, Sirs! I do believe that this is the first time I've been in Nero's since I came aboard.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: Good to see you here Kraight. Have a drink. On me.

Cherry_Red says:
::smiles at Wikky:: Wikky: I will. Just let me finish with the Commander first. ::walks back to the Commander's table:: FCO: Your water sir. ::sets the glass on the table::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Ensign.  You should perhaps avail yourself to more of the ship than science. ::raises eye brow::

Wikky says:
::looks up and checks the replicator's menu, just to be sure it's everything alright::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  Commander, the CEO is not human.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::looks at the small glass window on the lounge door, wondering if can peak through, then decides that might appear odd to anyone inside::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
Cherry: Thank you. You appear to be new aboard. I am Ved.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
XO: Why, thank you, sir.

Cherry_Red says:
FCO: I'm Cherry, Cherry Red. A pleasure Commander. ::extends her hand::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: glances about, uncertain ::  XO: I.... don't see any replicators, sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Extends hand in return and is pleased with the softness of her hand::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::barely steps through the door, the door nearly closing on him, and a pale expression plastered on his face::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::walks away from Ved as he sees the stranger women come up::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Who said you have to be Human to experience Human emotions? I was referring to the more general nature of emotion. Sir. ::chiding::

Wikky says:
::motions to CO and XO::  CO/XO:  Just a moment, gentlemen... Cherry will get your orders. ::smiles a bit::

Cherry_Red says:
FCO: If you need anything else, please call me.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: catching sight of Cherry and Wikky :: Oh.... living servitors.  How quaint.

Wikky says:
::sees the OPS walking by::  OPS:  You, sir!  May I get your order? ::smiles::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
Cherry: I most certainly will. Please don't let me keep you from your duties unnecessarily.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::looks at all the people who have gathered, nervously anticipating the moment someone notices and makes a fuss of it::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I am well aware of what you are trying to do.  Vulcans, too, have occasionally been known to get the occasional joke, Commander.

Cherry_Red says:
::sighs at the handsome Vulcan and walks over to the Captain and first officer:: CO/XO: Gentlemen, may I take your orders?

Wikky says:
::notices Cherry getting the CO and XO's orders::  Self:  About time... ::looks back at the OPS::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
::Sees Everitt and motions him to the table::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I'm getting a drink. Cherry: Scotch, Neat

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: suddenly remembering that the Captain had addressed him :: CO: Sir? Oh, yes, the rest of the ship... Well, we've had a rather busy few months, sir, and I was doing my best to fulfill the duties of my position.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks at the waitress:: Cherry: Yes thank you.  Herbal green tea.  Cold.

Wikky says:
OPS:  Lieutenant?  Is everything alright? ::cleans a glass::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::horridly moves towards Ved and sits down, knowing that if anyone won't create much of a fuss, it'll be Ved::

Cherry_Red says:
:;nods the XO::CO: Green tea, cold. Yes sir.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
Wikky: Just thinking

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: Well done Lahn. ::not realizing he just used Everitt's name for the first time:: Most deserved.

Cherry_Red says:
::the glare from the Captain's head reflects on her tray nearly blinding her as she heads back to the bar::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
Wikky: let me get a scotch on the rocks but not from the replicators, please.

Wikky says:
OPS:  Aaahhh... thinking good! ::fills the glass with Romulan beer and puts it over the bar:: Here! ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks over and sees Everitt trying to enter without notice:: Pangborn: It seems our new command XO is trying to go unnoticed.

Cherry_Red says:
Wikky: Green herbal tea, cold for the Captain and a Scotch neat for the first officer please.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::almost frowning:: FCO: Ah.. thanks.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: hesitantly :: Wikky: Ah... Miss Wikky?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::looks at Ved's drink:: FCO: Is there a waiter around here?

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Maybe you should put an end to that. You have the honors Sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: What's your pleasure?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: I'll try whatever you're having.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
Wikky: I will still take the beer but  I will still get that scotch

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  As a first officer, it is a shyness he will have to overcome.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Motions to Cherry to come to the table::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I'm sure he'll rise to the occasion. He certainly hasn't always been shy with me.

Wikky says:
Cherry:  Aye aye! ::gets a glass and prepares the scotch, then gets a cup and prepares the herbal tea::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: As soon as our refreshments arrive, I intend to exercise that prerogative.

Cherry_Red says:
::waves to Ved that she will be there shortly::

Wikky says:
OPS:  Of course, lieutenant!  Everything you want! ::smiles and puts the scotch and the tea on Cherry's tray::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: at the bar, still trying to get Wikky's attention :: Wikky: Miss?

Wikky says:
::prepares another scotch::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::looks at Ved:: FCO: This is really awful you know...

Cherry_Red says:
Wikky: Thanks. I'll be back.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Acknowledges her signal::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: How so?

Wikky says:
::raises both eyebrows::  CSO:  Miss?  Who, me?  ::looks around::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: Leaving like this... I couldn't imagine a more uncomfortable setting.  Perhaps it's for the best though.

Wikky says:
::places the scotch near the OPS::  OPS:  I hope you enjoy. ::smiles::

Cherry_Red says:
::carries the tray to the Captain's table:: CO: Captain, one herbal green tea, cold. ::places the cup on the table and turns to the XO:: XO: Your Scotch Commander, neat.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
Wikky: Ah. Yes. Good evening. I'm CSO Kraight. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Would you by chance have any Zalkonian swamp water?

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
Wikky: Thank you.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::takes the scotch, winks at Cherry::: Cherry: Thank you

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::takes the tea:: Cherry: Thank you.

Cherry_Red says:
CO: Anything else Captain?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: Yes it can be uncomfortable, but you deserve the honor of recognition. Even though you don't think of it that way.

Wikky says:
CSO:  Only if it's now, Ensign!  ::quickly turns and orders for a Zalkonian swamp water::

Cherry_Red says:
:;blushes at Pangborn's wink and giggles a little::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: No. But I will let you know.

Cherry_Red says:
CO: Very well Captain. :;moves towards Ved again::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
Wikky: Hmm. Thank you!

Wikky says:
::while the replicator works, he looks at the CO and XO, just to see if they liked the drinks::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::cheshire cat grin::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::can't stop thinking about being in this same setting, for Thelsh's departure:: FCO: Y'know, I think even dear Thelsh took it better than I am. ::grins slightly for the first time::

Wikky says:
::looks at the CO and XO, just to see if they liked the drinks::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Shall we, Commander.  ::Begins heading to the table of Everitt and Ved::

Cherry_Red says:
FCO: You desire something else Commander?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
Cherry: Two Alteran waters please.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: By all means:: follows::

Wikky says:
CSO:  You're welcome...  anything else?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Notices the CO and XO approaching::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
Wikky: Ah, no, not now. Very kind of you.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: Don't look now but we have company.

Cherry_Red says:
:;glances at the CEO:: FCO: Of course sir, right away.

Wikky says:
Cherry:  Cherry!  ::motions to her::  Cherry, come here!

Cherry_Red says:
::turns and walks over to Wikky:: Wikky: What is it?

Wikky says:
OPS:  How about you, Lieutenant?  Anything else?  Maybe something to chew?  ::giggles::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
::Rises to welcome the CO/XO:: Sirs: Please join us.

Wikky says:
Cherry:  Did the captain enjoy the tea?  I hope it's the way he likes...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Thank you.  We are however here to exercise a Captain's prerogative as well.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
Wikky: What do you find funny?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: takes swamp water and goes to side table where he left the platter ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::doesn't stand, until he hears its his commanding officers, and quickly rises, almost duty-like::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::joins them:: FCO: Thank you CEO: Commander ::nods::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Call the lounge to attention, Commander.

Cherry_Red says:
Wikky: He seems to. Oh and I need two more Alteran waters please.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
All: Attention!

Wikky says:
OPS:  Life is funny, Lieutenant...  however, amusing... ::prepares another scotch and places it in front of the OPS::  Have another!

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::rises both eyebrows at Sulek's comment:: CO/XO: Ah.. you might not want to-

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Comes to attention at the order::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: quickly puts the platter back down as he hears the XO's command, snaps to attention ::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
Wikky: Thanks

Wikky says:
Cherry:  Two more Alteran waters coming up... ::turns and orders the drinks::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Everitt: CEO Everitt, front and center.

Cherry_Red says:
::watches the Captain as she waits for the drinks::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::considers mentioning that he has to wait for his drink, but gives in, and steps forward::

Wikky says:
::picks up the Alteran waters and places them over the tray::  Cherry:  Here.  Go go go! ::motions to her::

Cherry_Red says:
::slips across the room like a summer breeze and deposits the drinks quietly on the table::

Wikky says:
::breathes for a while and observes the ceremony::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Everitt:  It has been a long-standing tradition aboard this ship and others that when one is about to assume a command position, the Captain has the right to see that he or she starts the journey well.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Everitt: It is also my duty to strip you of your duties as engineer and formally welcome you to the second seat, even if it is not aboard my ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::realizes how much he's going to miss working as an engineer::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Everitt: Lt. Commander Lahn Everitt, it is with pleasure that I commend you for your excellence and your service aboard the Quirinus.  To your health, wise leadership aboard the Triton, and for a job well done on the Q.  Congratulations First Officer Lahn Everitt.  You shall be missed.

Cherry_Red says:
::removes the emptied glasses from in front of Ved ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Raises his glass:: All: To Everitt and to the Quirinus.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::applauds and give a toast:: All: Here here!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:;drinks::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Tries not to be conspicuous and looks at Cherry as the captain speaks:: Here Here!!!

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
:;drinks his shot::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::almost trembling, he rubs his eye, and is disappointed to notice a tear::

Cherry_Red says:
::smiles at the brand new first officer of the Triton::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Everitt: It is now Commander Pangborn's turn to give his advice to the new XO of the Triton.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::raises glass along with toast::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: raises glass :: Congratulations, sir!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Commander...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::steps back::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: picks up the platter, and walks slowly towards Everitt, waiting for the XO to finish ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
All: The only advice I can give you Mr. Everitt, is to continue with your loyally service and exemplary performance....and Never....Never second guess your Captain....unless you're sure you're right

Wikky says:
::drops a glass::  Self:  Oops!

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::manages to smile, and make a small nod to each of them:: XO: Good advice, I'm sure.

Host XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::raises his glass:: Here Here

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Raises glass and joins in toast::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::raises his hand in Vulcan salute:: Everitt: Live Long and Prosper. ::takes a drink::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::notices his drink on the table, and lifts it to his rather dry mouth::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::makes a strange face:: FCO: How can you drink this stuff Ved?  It tastes like dirty water.

Cherry_Red says:
::sighs:: Self: There goes another red shirt.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
::steps up to Everitt:: CEO: Sir, it is a tradition among my people to see that a traveler about to leave is well fed. Since my species native foods are... disturbing... to most humanoids, I tried my hand at an Earth delicacy.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: lifts lid :: Swedish meatballs!

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: grins ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
CSO: Swedish?  The Borg are from there, aren't they?

Wikky says:
::quickly stands and looks at the CSO's platter:: Self: Huh???

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: Dirty? Vulcans only drink from pure sources.

Wikky says:
Cherry: I did not cook that!

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: furrows brow :: CEO: Ah... is that humor, Sir?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Looks at the contents of his glass::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::takes one, and pops it into his mouth:: CSO: Something to get rid of the taste of that water.  Thank you Ensign.  At least you don't have to worry about me blowing you out into space again, right?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: grimaces :: CEO: I still think that one was more my fault, Sir...

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
CEO: At any rate, it has been an honor to serve with you, Sir. Best of luck aboard the Triton.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::takes a look around, and lives past, life present, and lives yet to come all seem to merge into one happy surreal moment.  But instead of trying to hold onto it, he simply absorbs it, and smiles::
