Host CO_Loran says:
ADM:  Yes, each mission has kept us very busy and the Titan as well.

CTO_Williams says:
::Beams to the host beach on island, and changes into very "loud" surfer shorts, and heads towards the beach::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::strolls through the hallways, trying to make up his mind:: Self: Stay on the planet or back to the ship, hmmm.
 
Host CO_Loran says:

@COM:CO: this is Cmdr. McDuggle
 
Host CO_Loran says:
 COM: OPS:  I am going to be taking some real R&R this time.  I have always wanted to visit this planet and now I can.  I will be taking a sailing boat out on the high seas and I would prefer not to be disturbed.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::crawls out from under the armor, sighs and strolls on:: Self: Beach, that's it.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  A strapping young man comes out of the water and up to the women.  They leave with him, giggling, and they accidentally kick sand on the CTO.
 
CTO_Williams says:
Man: Hey, watch it.  ::Unintentionally flexes his muscles::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
@COM: CO: understood sir I will only bother you if it is life or death or Star Fleet
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::stops and turns:: Self: Nah, too sandy those beaches...
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The CTO's words are lost in the roar of the surf as the man and women move away.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
COM: OPS:  Captain Loran out.
 
CTO_Williams says:
::Grumbles, grabs his towel, and strolls down the beach again, mumbling things...::

Host CO_Loran says:
::continues walking down the streets admiring the local culture on his way to the docks and his little R&R vacation::
