*CSO* Ensign... not to pull you away from anything but.. uh... ::still staring down the corridor::  We wouldn't happen to know anything about a couple of young girls or their families would we?  ::doesn't ask if they have an ear fetish figuring that would just freak out the CSO::
OPS_Redman says:
Gaines: Sir I am sure if he hit you it was unintentional.  If you will follow me I will show you to your quarters
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*OPS*: See if any of our guests would like a tour of the ship, I'll join you if any of them are interested. The bridge is off limits to them, engineering is also out of bounds unless they are accompanied

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
*CMO*: I'm afraid I haven't had time to examine the passenger manifest, Doctor. I believe that Commander Pangborn knows much more about them than I. Would you like to speak with him, Doctor?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Yes Sir.....Sir...may I ask you a question?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
FCO: ETA

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Always
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::starting to feel a bit foolish:: *CSO* Um... if you aren't busy.  I'm sure its nothing..
CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
*CMO*: No trouble at all, Doctor. One moment, please...
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::heads back into sickbay muttering to herself::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: You don't seem you...usual self. Everything okay? I mean as far as a Vulcan can show being okay.............::puts foot in mouth again:: Everything okay at home?

::arrives at quarters for Gaines and shows him how to work the systems:: Gaines: If you would like to take advantage of the tour please let me know you can contact me via the internal comms

CO: ETA in three standard days Captain.
Host FM_LittleGoo says:
<Gaines> Redman: Aye... this will do fine... ::and promptly passes out in the middle of the room::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I am well.  As far as I know, all is well at home.  I have been contemplating a letter for some time from a former crewmember about an incident of some time ago.
CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: turns to face Pangborn :: XO: Excuse me for interrupting, Commander... can you spare a moment for Doctor Morgan? I believe she has a question about our passengers.
OPS_Redman says:
::Moves out of the room and toward the bridge:: Computer: Limit Mr.Gaines to synthahol drinks
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I do not mean to appear distracted.  I shall endeavor to be more "normal" for lack of a better word.
OPS_Redman says:
::Contacts each of the passengers on way to bridge to invite them to the tour of the ship::
Host FM_LittleGoo says:
<C> Redman: Mr. Gaines is only permitted synthahol beverages by order of the Federation Alcoholics Advisory.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I see. Well I'm all ears if you should choose to discuss it::wide grin:: CSO: The Doctor need me? *CMO*: Pangborn here, what have you got good Doctor?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Thank you, Commander.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I shall consider your  offer.
FCO_Ens_Gambit says:
::watches the screen on her panel for any needed course corrections::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::wonders why people keep assuming she’s a good doctor and shrugs:: *XO* Um... I’m sure its nothing... um.. but...  we don't happen to know anything about the passengers we took on do we?  Especially the little girls and their families?
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::feeling really really dumb now::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I would consider it an honor
OPS_Redman says:
::after inviting all the passengers to the tour, arrives on the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
FCO: Understood. Standard scanning patterns.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CMO*: All children should be under the control of their parents at all times. We have no unaccompanied minors on board to my knowledge. Is there something wrong?
FCO_Ens_Gambit says:
CO:Standard scanning patterns initiated.
OPS_Redman says:
::takes station:: XO: Sir all passengers have been advised of their berthings and have been invited on the tour scheduled for later this shift
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: Well done. Assume standard duties...I'd like you to monitor communications in particular, report anything unusual to myself or the captain
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Redman: Be sure the passengers have restricted access to the computer as well.
OPS_Redman says:
XO: Understood, only one thing of note to report of the passengers sir.  One man a Mr. Gaines appears to be quite intoxicated and may need monitoring to avoid problems there has already been an altercation with a crewmember
OPS_Redman says:
CO: Yes sir computer access has been restricted
OPS_Redman says:
CO/XO: Should the passengers be notified of any special restrictions to comms
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::rubs the back of her neck:: *XO*: Uh... not wrong exactly...  just.  ::lets out a sigh:: Just something we ran up against before and I was sure that I just saw them again...  Do we know anything about the families?  I don't suppose it says in their files that the girls have issues with Vulcan ears as necklace parts huh?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: Pull up all available data on him. Report on anything out of the ordinary
OPS_Redman says:
::Retrieves all data on Mr. Gaines::
FCO_Ens_Gambit says:
::looks over at the operations officer and offers a smile of welcome::
OPS_Redman says:
::Nods to FCO::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::sits at her desk and drops her head onto the top of it::  Stress.  It's got to be because of stress.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CMO*: There are two families on boards, with a total of 5 children amongst them. If should encounter an unaccompanied child, refer to the quarters assignments and return them to their parents.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Redman: Monitoring there communications should do. If they become a nuisance and begin to jam channels with idle banter, simply inform them we are not a passenger liner and then politely cut them off.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CMO*: I have no other details
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
*XO*:Right.  Okay.  Thanks.
OPS_Redman says:
CO: Aye sir
FCO_Ens_Gambit says:
::continues with the scans noting nothing of interest at the moment::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::her head still resting on her desk:: Unaccompanied?  If they try to slice and dice people with laser scalpels.....
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
Self: No... I have to be wrong.  Mistaken.  Wasn't them.  Nope nope nope.  ::sits up and grabs a padd off her desk in order to try and distract herself::
CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
:: notes that a nebula 400 light years to port shows signs of protostar formation, and quickly directs the lateral sensor array to conduct an intensive long-range scan ::
OPS_Redman says:
::Computer responds with info on Mr. Gaines:: XO: Sir, the data on Mr. Gaines is all negative but in the past all charges have been dropped, looks like he has been into everything from assault and battery to drug and weapons trafficking
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sits and watches as the stars seem to stream by on the screen...it is a sight he is always fascinated by::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Frowns:: OPS: Have a security team "quietly" monitor him.
OPS_Redman says:
XO: Understood
OPS_Redman says:
::Works with security to monitor Mr. Gaines::
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks closer at the file in front of her and smothers a smile.  Apparently one should not try to steal food off of the plate of Ensign K'lresh if the medical report was to be believed::  Johnston: Hey Xara?  ::yells:: Did K'lresh really stab someone in the hand with a fork?
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
<Johnston> ::yells back:: Morgan: Yup...  don't EVER steal food off his plate.  He gets cranky!
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
Self: I would too... but only if they tried to take anything with chocolate in it.
FCO_Ens_Gambit says:
::sits back in her chair a bit and takes a couple of deep breaths trying to relax::
OPS_Redman says:
::Monitoring program alerts that financier is excessively using the comms:: *Mrs Bordman* We would ask that you refrain from excessive communications.
CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::yells back:: Johnston: K... duly noted.
OPS_Redman says:
<Mrs. Bordman> ::Complaining very loudly, finally finishes with:: I want to speak with the Captain, I must be able to communicate
OPS_Redman says:
XO: Sir, Mrs. Bordman, one of the passengers is complaining about the limited comms and wants to plead her case to the CO
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: Put her through - to me
OPS_Redman says:
XO: Aye sir
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: looks at the XO and raises an eyebrow::
OPS_Redman says:
::Puts comm though to XO::
OPS_Redman says:
<Mrs. Boardman> Who am I speaking with?!
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Just thought you'd want me to field this...of course if you want to talk to a cranky passenger::motions to the comm::
FCO_Ens_Gambit says:
::listens to Redman and Pangborn with a bemused look on her face::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Boardman: This is Commander Pangborn, how may I help you?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Oh no, by all means Commander.  I am anxious to see you in action.
OPS_Redman says:
<Mrs. Boardman> Are you the Captain, I want to have some resolution to this problem
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::stands a crosses next to the FCO but still listening to the XO and the passenger::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*Boardman*: I am the second in command. How may I help you?
FCO_Ens_Gambit says:
::turns to the Captain::CO: Something I can help you with Captain? ::smiles her best smile::
Host FM_LittleGoo says:
ACTION: The body spasms one more time as it falls off the couch into the puddle of blood, the doors swish shut a second later.
OPS_Redman says:
*<Mrs. Boardman>*
<Mrs. Boardman> *XO* I want to have full access to your communications system so I may run my business effectively, I will loose millions if I cannot stay in contact
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gambit: Simply giving the XO some distance.
