XO_VanSickle says:
Waitress: First, do you have any lagers?

Carol says:
Self: I really need some new clothes...wonder if I can find any material that I like.

ShopMgr says:
CEO: That material is exquisite isn't it?  It comes from Betazed and I am told, it is only for those of the higher ranks.  ::holds it up next to her::  It would look lovely on you my dear...

ShopMgr says:
CEO: I’ll have one made into a blouse...would you like to try it on to see how the color looks?

Carol says:
::walks past the shop manager and CEO:: Both: Oh that is lovely material. ::knocks other material off the table at the same time::

CEO_AQilla says:
ShopMgr:  Yes I would

ShopMgr says:
CEO: Right in the back dear, behind those curtains, you change there...

XO_VanSickle says:
<Waitress> XO: I'm sorry, sir, this is a coffee shop, not a bar.

CEO_AQilla says:
Self:  Hey!!  ShopMgr:  That women just took off with one of my bags.

ShopMgr says:
::is stunned:: Wait! Wait! CEO: Oh my! what has happened?

FCO_Vince says:
::tries to contain a chuckle::

CSO_Shiar says:
Self: damn

CEO_AQilla says:
::takes off after the thief::

<<<<<ACTION:  The thief has changed her disguise and is not in the area.>>>>>

<Waitress> XO: We do.

FCO_Vince says:
Waitress:  I'll have a tall rachtijino, extra strong

XO_VanSickle says:

::vaguely remembers what Colombia is::

CEO_AQilla says:
::goes over to comm station::

Kelly says:
::pulls out my tool kit and short circuits the comm badge::

XO_VanSickle says:
<Waitress> Coming right up, sir.

Kelly says:
Self: Well I can get a pretty penny for this one! Now let's see what is in the bag...

XO_VanSickle says:
::waitress goes off to fill the order::

CEO_AQilla says:
*SB Security*:  Star base Security

XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: How's it feel to be an O-2?

CEO_AQilla says:
::wonders why she's getting no response::

Kelly says:
Self: Looks good! ::grabs everything and heads for Tach::

SB Security says:
*CEO: This is Star base security, how can I help you?

Kelly says:
::enters Tach's rooms:: Tach: Look what I got today...there were a bunch on new folks on the SB today!

CEO_AQilla says:
*Sec*:  I'd like to report a theft.  A woman stole my bag and my comm badge.

SB Security says:
*CEO*: Who is this?

Tach says:
::Looks up from desk.::  Kelly: New folks?  From where?  What did you get?

XO_VanSickle says:
::waitress returns and gives the table its order::

CEO_AQilla says:
*Sec*:  My name is Lt AQilla.  I'm the Chief Engineer of the USS Scorpius

Kelly says:
::hands him the bag then holds the com badge out in her hand::

CO_TPaula says:
::looks at the drink with some degree of suspicion::

SB Security 
*CEO*: Your com badge was stolen? And what else?  What is your location?

Kelly says:
Tach: They are from some ship named the Scorpius or something strange like that.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: It's only coffee.

CEO_AQilla says:
*Sec*:  My bag with my personal effects.  I'm on the promenade near a clothes shop.

CSO_Shiar says:
XO: feels great sir

Tach says:
Kelly:  Hmmm, Star Fleet.  They can be tricky.  Usually have tight security.  Looks good though.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: With a bit of milk.

FCO_Vince says:
::takes drink and takes a big swig::

CSO_Shiar says:
:: sips cappuccino::

SB Security says:
*CEO*: Which clothes shop Chief? There are several there...

XO_VanSickle says:
::sips his coffee::

Kelly says:
Tach: Well they won't find me...you know I am the master of disguise! ::grins::

CO_TPaula says:
::not significantly reassured, but tries it and suffers no immediate ill effects::

CEO_AQilla says:
*Sec*:  I'm also near a cafe.

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks out the window of the cafe::

SB Security says:
*CEO*: Is it Linda's shop?

CEO_AQilla says:
*Sec*:  Yes

SB Security says:
::making notes and motioning for security to go to the shop::

Tach says:
Kelly:  Maybe, just don't get careless.  How many are on the station?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Captain, isn't that Lt. Smith over there?

SB Security says:
*CEO*:  Chief, just hold your position, I have a security team on the way.

CEO_AQilla says:
*Sec*:  Acknowledged.

Kelly says:
Tach: I saw 6 of them.

CO_TPaula says:
::looks::  XO: It looks like her.

CEO_AQilla says:
*Sec*:  and thank you.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: I'll be right back.  I'll talk with her.

CEO_AQilla says:
::thumps the wall in frustration over her stupidity::

CO_TPaula says:
::nods and returns to being suspicious of her drink::

XO_VanSickle says:
::gets up and exits shop toward AQilla::

Security says:
::walking with her partner up to the communication console::  CEO:  Are you the person who reported a theft?

CEO_AQilla says:
::notices the XO arriving::  XO:  Sir.

Tach says:
Kelly:  Six, that doesn't sound to bad.  No need to call in the others.

XO_VanSickle says:
::sees security::

CEO_AQilla says:
Sec:  Yes I am.

CSO_Shiar says:
CO: there's nothing harmful in it, I’m told

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: AQilla, what happened, and where's your badge?

Security says:
CEO: Can you give me description of the person who stole your items Ma'am?

Kelly says:
Tach: Well I am sure there are others...it is a huge ship! ::emphasizes by holding arms out as far as they will go::

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  My bag and comm badge were stolen while I was shopping.

CO_TPaula says:
::ignores the CSO because this is between her and the coffee::

CEO_AQilla says:
Sec:  Not really.  I only glanced at her for a second.

FCO_Vince says:
CO:  (Boisterously)And it puts hair in you lungs!

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: What was in that bag?

CEO_AQilla says:
Sec:  She created a diversion.  She seemed to be a real pro.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Just my personal effects, Sir.

Security says:
CEO: Well Ma'am, it will not be easy to find your things if you are not able to give us a description.  Do you think the owner saw her any better?

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Any of them tagged?

Tach says:
Kelly:  What did you call it?  ::Checks computer.:: Ah, here it is, Scorpius.  Ambassador Class.  They have hundreds!  We could get ourselves set for weeks.

CO_TPaula says:
::looks up at that, for a moment::

CEO_AQilla says:
Sec:  I don't know.  She may have.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  I have everything tagged, Sir.

CSO_Shiar says:
::looks at FCO::

CSO_Shiar says:
::puts his cappuccino down::

Security says:
CEO: Well Ma'am, we will do our best for you.  If we discover anything, we will let you know.  I am going to interview the proprietress now.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Give the security members the frequency of the tags and they may find it.

CEO_AQilla says:
Sec:  Thanks for your help.

Security says:
::walks away and goes to the shop::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Want some coffee?

FCO_Vince says:
::Continues drinking::

Tach says:
Kelly:  Did you search the items in the bag?  Anything traceable?

XO_VanSickle says:
::motions toward the cafe::

CEO_AQilla says:
::gives security the frequency:: XO:  I think I could use something stronger right now, Sir

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Suit yourself.

Kelly says:
Tach: That is what I thought...well I am going to change and go back out there. I will see you later! Toodles! ::waves:: No there is nothing traceable in there.

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: But the coffee shop does have strong java.

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Sounds good to me.

ACTION:  All tags were removed from the stolen items.

FCO_Vince says:
::sees XO and CEO approaching the cafe::

Tach says:
Kelly: OK.  Let me give these things a quick scan with the security scanner.

XO_VanSickle says:
::returns to the cafe and sits back down::

CEO_AQilla says:
::follows the XO, pulls up a chair and sits down::

Kelly says:
::in the changing room:: Tach: That is fine...but I think all will be well.

CSO_Shiar says:
XO: everything ok sir

Security says:
::walks into the clothing store::

XO_VanSickle says:
::takes a swig of coffee, finds still warm:: CSO: Ask AQilla

CEO_AQilla says:
::still cursing herself for being so stupid::

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks at the CO::

CSO_Shiar says:
CEO: ok?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Enjoying your joe?

CO_TPaula says:
XO: My what?

Tach says:
Self: Star Fleet security is usually so much better than this one had.  Tsk tsk.

CEO_AQilla says:
CSO:  Yeah.

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Joe, java, the beans, swill, your coffee.

Security says:
Linda:  I am SB security, do you get a good look at the woman who was in here and stole from one of your customers?

XO_VanSickle says:
CO: Terran American slang.

CEO_AQilla says:
::motions to the waitress::

CSO_Shiar says:
XO: you make it sound like a drug

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  In some ways it is

CO_TPaula says:
XO: ... ::studies the coffee::  Sure.

Tach says:
::Stashes items in secret compartment.  Goes out to check out the new marks.::

Security says:
<Linda> Sec:  No, I am afraid I didn't, I was helping the other young lady, and I just didn't get a good look at her...

XO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Well, full strength coffee has a drug called caffeine, a stimulant.

FCO_Vince says:
CEO:  Are you ok?

CSO_Shiar says:
FCO: not a decafe

XO_VanSickle says:
All: What I and the captain are having are decaffeinated.

FCO_Vince says:
CSO:  True

CEO_AQilla says:
FCO:  Yeah.  I just can't believe that I could be so stupid

CSO_Shiar says:
XO: I am aware of that

Security says:
Linda: Well, I don't have hopes of finding this person, as you nor she have a description of her.  If you see her again, call us.

Security says:
<Linda> Sec:  Believe me, if I see her again, you will be the first to know.  This is NOT good for business.

XO_VanSickle says:
::finishes cup::

Security says:
::nods to the shop owner and leaves the store;:

XO_VanSickle says:
All: Anyone want a second cup?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  Haven't had my first yet

CSO_Shiar says:
:: reluctantly drinks his coffee::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Oh.  Right.  Waitress!

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  I'm always up for a second cup, and third, fourth, etc.

CSO_Shiar says:
XO: no thanx

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: You're in luck.  This coffee house has free refills.

FCO_Vince says:
::Grins::

XO_VanSickle says:
Waitress: I and the Klingon will have refills of our orders.

Tach says:
::Walks into coffee house, orders a cup, and watches the Star Fleet Officers discreetly.::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: What would you like?

CEO_AQilla says:
XO:  The strongest coffee they have, thanks.

FCO_Vince says:
::is about to correct the XO, then decides not to bother::

XO_VanSickle says:
Waitress: Give her the Mega java special.

CEO_AQilla says:
::Thinks that sounds interesting::

XO_VanSickle says:
::looks at Vince::

XO_VanSickle says:
::waitress goes to fill the order::

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: I know you're half human.

XO_VanSickle says:
::waitress returns with a double decaf latte, a rachtijino and a Mega java::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: That, my dear AQilla, has the highest caffeine content in the universe.

CEO_AQilla says:
::takes a sip::

FCO_Vince says:
XO: I know, I guess I haven't completely relaxed from duty yet.  Maybe after the next cup

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Being ever ready for duty is a good thing, Vince.

CO_TPaula says:
::only about a fourth of the way through her first drink::

ACTION:  The CEO's eyes open wide and the caffeine floods her system!

XO_VanSickle says:
::sips at his new cup::

CEO_AQilla says:
::gasps and her face turns a dangerous shade of green::

CSO_Shiar says:
::watches the CO::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Perked you right up.

CEO_AQilla says:
::gasps::  XO:  It sure .... did .....

CO_TPaula says:
::looks up to see if the CEO is okay::

XO_VanSickle says:
All: She'll be OK.  Just had a major caffeine hit.

FCO_Vince says:
::Wishes he'd remembered to brig a holoimager::

CEO_AQilla says:
::catches her breath::

XO_VanSickle says:
::chuckles in the direction of Vince::

XO_VanSickle says:
CEO: You did ask for it.

CSO_Shiar says:
::looks longingly at the bar::

FCO_Vince says:
XO:  Now that was picture perfect

XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Yup,

CEO_AQilla says:
::tries to think of a suitable revenge for the XO::

Host XO_VanSickle says:
FCO: The ol' Kodak Moment.
