XO_VanSickle says:  ::looks around the bridge, thinks it's a bit similar to the one on the Comanche::

CSO_Nes says:  FCO: Unfortunately not. It will probably be about our new crew members though.

CTO_Lynix says:  <Nathan> Lynix:aye aye sir.. ::resumes post::

CSO_Nes says:  FCO: True.

CTO_Lynix says:  ::enters OL and takes a seat, motions the TO to the next chair over::

FCO-Starr says:  CSO: By the way, next time there is an away team, do you think you could possibly choose a nice warm planet?

CTO_Lynix says:  FCO: that or grow fur.. ::smiles::

CO_TPaula says:  ::takes her seat in the OL and waits for everyone to settle::

FCO-Starr says:  ::leans over and whispers to the CTO::  CTO: I could have used some of your fur on that planet.

XO_VanSickle says:  ::taps on his PADD::

FCO-Starr says:  CSO: And yes, long johns would have been nice...

CO_TPaula says:  ::looks around the table:: all: The primary purpose of this meeting is to sort out who reports to whom.

CTO_Lynix says:  ::tries not to laugh::

XO_VanSickle says:  ::thinks this will be educational for him::

TO_Horn says:  ::Listens eagerly to the CO::

CSO_Nes says:  ::gets ready to note her new duties::

CTO_Lynix says:  ::wonders if the new XO realizes how many telepaths were on the ship::

CO_TPaula says:  all: The arrangement I have worked out is as follows... medical and tactical departments report to the XO, while engineering and civilians report the 2nd officer. If there are no objections, we will implement this immediately.

TO_Horn says:  :: Ready to take notes::

CTO_Lynix says:  ::looks at the new XO:: CO: understood sir

XO_VanSickle says:  ::looks back at Lynix::

XO_VanSickle says:  ::wonders how many hot debates he'll have with this one::

CTO_Lynix says:  ::thinks,, he better be glad I'm only Caitian::

CO_TPaula says:  all: Is there anything else we should discuss?

XO_VanSickle says:  CO: Nothing here, other than it's good to be aboard.

FCO-Starr says:  CO: Aye Ma'am!

XO_VanSickle says:  ::gets up::

CSO_Nes says:  ::refrains from yelling "Yahoo"::

TO_Horn says:  :: Smiles and thinks finally::

XO_VanSickle says:  CO: Captain...

CO_TPaula says:  XO: Yes?

FCO-Starr says:  CTO: Would you like to join Shania and me at the Starbase?

CSO_Nes says:  CTO: Feel free!

EO_AQilla says:  ::gets up ready to leave for the SB::

XO_VanSickle says:  CO: Maybe we should go over what you expect out of this crew.  I mean, being the new XO and everything, I'd like to know where you're coming from.

FCO-Starr says:  CTO/CSO: We can make this a girl trip!::grinning mischievously::

CTO_Lynix says:  ::stands :: Co: thanks you sir.. ::looks at the TO:: TO: you are free until 3rd shift.... I will see you on the bridge at 0100 sharp

CTO_Lynix says:  CSO: yes.. I wish to speak with you

CSO_Nes says:  FCO: Men won't stand a chance. ::grins wickedly::

TO_Horn says:  CTO: Yes sir

XO_VanSickle says:  CO: And maybe give me the 50-cent tour?

CSO_Nes says:  CTO: Privately?

CO_TPaula says:  XO: All I expect is that they carry out their duties in a manner befitting Starfleet officers. I'm sure they expect me to expect that.

CTO_Lynix says:  ::looks at the XO:: self: 50 cent tour?

TO_Horn says:  :: Wonders what to do::

CTO_Lynix says:  CSO: no.. but I do wish to speak with you

XO_VanSickle says:  ::shoots look at the CTO::

CSO_Nes says:  CTO: Now?

CO_TPaula says:  XO: Fifty-cent?

FCO-Starr says:  CTO/CSO: Ladies, are we ready or should I go ahead and wait for y'all?

CTO_Lynix says:  CSO: when you have time Nes.. I'm in no hurry

XO_VanSickle says:  CO: Old Earth expression.

CSO_Nes says:  CTO: Can we talk as we go?

CTO_Lynix says:  FCO: let me clear Connor on the next shift and I'll be along

XO_VanSickle says:  CO: More specifically, from the U.S.

CTO_Lynix says:  CSO: yes.. that would be purrfect

CSO_Nes says:  FCO: I don't think I'll bother about changing, it would save time to go as we are.

FCO-Starr says:  CTO: All right, come on Shania, we can meet her on the base.

CSO_Nes says:  CTO: Alright.

CO_TPaula says:  XO: If you can find your way around the ship, I'm sure no one will object to your taking a look around.

CTO_Lynix says:  TO: I suggest you settle in your quarters.. we don't get much down time around here

XO_VanSickle says:  CO: Aye, ma'am.

CSO_Nes says:  ::nods:: CTO: See you on the SB. ::follows Troi::

TO_Horn says:  CTO: Will do

EO_AQilla says:  ::exits OL and goes to quarters to change for SL::

TO_Horn says:  ::Approaches CO:: CO: Excuse me sir

FCO-Starr says:  CSO: I know this great little shop that has the latest dresses and some nice lounging clothes.  Sound interesting?

XO_VanSickle says:  ::exits OL and pulls up a map of the ship on his PADD::

CTO_Lynix says:  ::returns to the bridge and speaks briefly with Nathan, Connor reports and Sasha heads off with Nathan to the Turbolift::

CSO_Nes says:  FCO: How could I resist the word 'clothes'? ::smiles:: I am female after all.

FCO-Starr says:  CSO:  Well, do you think Sasha will be bored while we look at clothes?

CSO_Nes says:  FCO: I don't know, depends how long we take I guess.

XO_VanSickle says:  ::goes to the TL and looks at his PADD::  Computer: Lounge.

CTO_Lynix says:  Computer: docking area..   Nathan: please help Russ as much as you can..    <Nathan> ::Nods with a yawn::

TO_Horn says:  CTO: If I might have a moment

XO_VanSickle says:  ::TL goes to the deck for the lounge::

CTO_Lynix says:  ::enters the Starbase and sniffs out the FCO and CSO, enters a dress shop and spots them::

FCO-Starr says:  CSO: Here is the shop, lets go in!

CSO_Nes says:  FCO: Looks like a great shop! ::enters::

TO_Horn says:  ::Heads to his quarters wondering what to do::

XO_VanSickle says:  ::looks around the lounge::

FCO-Starr says:  ::starts looking at the dresses, finding her size::

CTO_Lynix says:  FCO&CSO: there you are... interesting place you picked

FCO-Starr says:  CTO: Hey, over here... we didn't know if you might be bored in here or not.

XO_VanSickle says:  ::after a few moments, he leaves the lounge and heads to the TL::

CSO_Nes says:  CTO: A girl's always got to have new clothes!

FCO-Starr says:  CTO: The owner here can make you some clothes that will fit, if you would like...

CTO_Lynix says:  ::smirks:: FCO: I do wear cloths.. just not heavy material.. it's too hot you know

EO_AQilla says:  ::heads to TL to make way to SB::

TO_Horn says:  ::enters TL::

CSO_Nes says:  ::finds her size and begins browsing::

EO_AQilla says:  ::enters TL and bumps into TO::

FCO-Starr says:  CTO: Well I can understand that, oh there she is, I will introduce you and she can take your measurements.

XO_VanSickle says:  Computer: Sickbay.

FCO-Starr says:  Linda: Over here, I have a new customer for you.

TO_Horn says:  EO: So you off to the Starbase

CTO_Lynix says:  FCO: no that's all right.. I'll just look this time... My uniform was specially designed to allow my winter coat to breath so I would not.. umm ..shed much ::smiles::

CSO_Nes says:  ::enters changing room::

EO_AQilla says:  TO:  Yep.  What about you?

XO_VanSickle says:  ::TL goes to the sickbay::

FCO-Starr says:  <Linda>: FCO: Hi Troi, yes I can see that.  Since I used to fit Shsssaa, I think I can come up with something for Sasha.

TO_Horn says:  EO: Not sure yet

XO_VanSickle says:  ::gets out and enters sickbay, just to see what and where it is::

EO_AQilla says:  TO:  Do you want to join me?

TO_Horn says:  EO: Yeah I think that would be company can be therapeutic

XO_VanSickle says:  ::sees it in order, since medical falls under  his jurisdiction::

EO_AQilla says:  TO:  This is your first mission, is it?

CSO_Nes says:  ::returns to browsing:: FCO: I love this place, I could stay in here forever!

TO_Horn says:  EO: Yeah it is

FCO-Starr says:  ::whispers:: CSO: I think she is surprised that someone can make clothes for her.

CTO_Lynix says:  ::looks at the stranger:: Linda: that's all right.. I really have no need for anything beside my uniform at present

FCO-Starr says:  CSO: Yes, they have lovely clothes don't they.

CSO_Nes says:  ::whispers:: FCO: Probably not a frequent occurrence.

XO_VanSickle says:  ::leaves sickbay and decides to check out engineering::

EO_AQilla says:  TO:  mine too.  What do you feel like doing?

FCO-Starr says:  <Linda> CTO: But I have this lovely lightweight material that Shsssaa ordered and it would be a shame to see it go to waste::smiling::

CTO_Lynix says:  ::looks at the FCO and CSO with a questioning look::

XO_VanSickle says:  ::but then decides to head back to the bridge::

XO_VanSickle says:  ::enters TL:: Computer: Bridge.

TO_Horn says:  EO: Actually I’m kind of hungry

CSO_Nes says:  ::chooses 2 dresses:: FCO: I'll get these.

FCO-Starr says:  CTO: Oh go ahead Sasha, get at least one new outfit!

CTO_Lynix says:  Linda: very well..

CSO_Nes says:  CTO: I'm sure it would look great!

EO_AQilla says:  TO:  There are some really good places to eat at the SB.  Ever tried Romulan food?

CTO_Lynix says:  Linda: I like.. green..

FCO-Starr says:  ::Linda nods and takes Sasha back to the fitting room::

TO_Horn says:  EO: No I haven’t

TO_Horn says:  EO: This is my first time off of earth
