Host CO_Lenor says:

Host CO_Lenor says:
Sulek: what do we know about the planet

CNS_Pratt says:
XO:  Most people aren't.  No offense taken.  I hope none was intended.  ::laughs::

Host CO_Lenor says:
Rach: planet on screen

OPS_Rach says:
CO: on screen sir

CNS_Pratt says:
XO:  Do you think your performance as a member of this crew is being affected by what happened with Knowles?

CSO_Sulek says:
SO:report on planet scans.

Host XO_Mav says:
Pratt: No, I don't think so... I mean, it's not like his life was a waste. It isn't gone for no reason...

SCIKoepke says:
CO:  class m planet, abundant flora, no fauna

Host CO_Lenor says:

SCIKoepke says:

CNS_Pratt says:

OPS_Rach says:
::smiles at koepke::

SCIKoepke says:
CO: 79% of planet covered with water

Host CO_Lenor says:
::looks at Koepke and laughs::

Host XO_Mav says:
CNS: I did, but it's weird... It's like I know that he's happy wherever he is. And that he doesn't want me to feel guilty.

SCIKoepke says:
::smiles::CO: lots of edable fruits and plants

CNS_Pratt says:
XO:  That's good.  What happened when he died?  I understand it was his death that saved your life.

OPS_Rach says:

Host CO_Lenor says:

Host XO_Mav says:

SCIKoepke says:
::gives Sulek a wide grin:: Sulek: I was making a joke

Host XO_Mav says:

Host CO_Lenor says:
Peters: excellent... now get them to 100%

SCIKoepke says:
CO: yes it is, seems like a nice vacation spot to me...and the sensors

CNS_Pratt says:
XO:  That's what I thought.  Would you do something like that for a crewmate?

CSO_Sulek says:
Koepke: Yes, Julia, I realize that.

TO_Peters says:
CO: Trying that now sir... ::still learning how to use this system::

OPS_Rach says:

SCIKoepke says:
Sulek: I just needed to get someone to smile around here...at least for a second

Host XO_Mav says:
CNS: I don't know. You don't really know until it happens, I believe. It's like, friendship, duty, and courage just burst, it seems.. That's what it seemed like with Knowles.

CSO_Sulek says:
Koepke:I must admit though I am at a loss with human's need for levity.

OPS_Rach says:
Koepke: that's not a problem for me

Host CO_Lenor says:
Peters: need somehelp?

CSO_Sulek says:
computer: eta to planet?

CNS_Pratt says:
XO:  Did you know Knowles well, or do you think his sacrifice was more out of duty than friendship?

SCIKoepke says:
Sulek: You are talking to someone with a very odd sense of humor...just the right thing for vulcans

TO_Peters says:
::hesitates::  CO: No, sir...

Host XO_Mav says:
CNS: I didn't know him too well, but we had talked before. I think it was a little of both.

Host CO_Lenor says:
Sulek: your opinion on sending an away team to the planet?

OPS_Rach says:
:: never will understand vulcans::

CSO_Sulek says:
CO: I would recommend a minimum force at this time.

Host CO_Lenor says:

SCIKoepke says:

CNS_Pratt says:
XO:  I understand.  Maverick, thanks for coming in.  I know you would rather have been doing something else.  That's all I have.  You're excused if there's nothing else you want to discuss.

TO_Peters says:
