Host ^SM_Pam says:
Now that the Triton has completed another mission, she’s headed home for a much deserved rest and resupply. There is also the matter of sending the cadets home and dealing with the Romulan Commander R’dex. I bet Starfleet has a few questions to ask this guy.

Host ^SM_Pam says:
Sub Commander Trex has left the Triton to deal with R’dex, but he did destroy the warbird Praetor. Captain Knight is still puzzled by the whole situation but he has a more pressing matter to deal with. Well we all know what that is right folks?

Host ^SM_Pam says:
The Captain has issued an invitation for the entire senior staff to meet on the Starbase at the best restaurant there for a celebratory dinner. Could this be their last hurrah before Starfleet gets their hands on the Captain for disobeying orders?

Host ^SM_Pam says:
As we begin this final chapter, the crew is finishing it’s preparations for a night on the town or in this case, a night on the Starbase. Let’s peek in on the gang and see what they’re up to shall we?

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTD is proud to present the USS Triton in....“Seeking Answers”...Chapter Ten.” Home Again”.... Stardate 10407.08

:: Hmms absentmindedly as she approaches her door ::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::Waits for Jinxx to answer::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: Thorne will be fine. He just has to stay calm and tell the truth about the situation. If Starfleet reprimands him I am sure many of us will write a formal complaint. ::Pauses:: CSO: I know I will.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Presses the button and walks in.  She is startled a moment as she spies Vince sitting there ::   XO: Hey!  That was fast

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::a little box materializes on the table in front of her::

Host BCMDR_Jinxx says:
@CO: Captain, I'll get straight to the point. Why did you disobey a direct order from Starfleet Command and cross the border into the Neutral Zone?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::gets on one knee::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::Walks onto the Starbase and nods to the Security Officer as they pass:: CSO: Yes I know, I read the reports. How did the morale hold up?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Bites her lip and says softly... ::   XO: maj dok

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@::frowns::  CMO:  Ashley... you do know this concept is irrelevant for me.  However, the crew seemed to be dealing with the situation nicely.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Jinxx: I had good reason to Cmdr.  I had been fired upon by the warbird T'Pual, she was matched to the warp trail we found leaving the area where the Kenjit disappeared, and I, no matter what the cost, wasn't about to leave a bunch of rookies stuck in the Neutral Zone because they were so callously used...and

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@::takes a deep breath:: I thought we'd found Admiral Sheridan

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::Smiles:: CSO: I know that you take note of these things Kalek. ::She heads for the restaurant, hoping they are close::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:

@Jinxx: You can see by our reports that we indeed had a reason to cross Ma'am...I stand behind my decision and I will face the penalties...My crew is not to blame

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
~~~OPS:  I've been waiting for the right moment for a while~~~

Host BCMDR_Jinxx says:
@::stands and moves around the desk and sits on the edge:: CO: I have read the reports Captain, but you still violated a direct order.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Jinxx: Ma'am if you knew me you'd know I don't give a damn about orders when something needs to be done

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Blinks back her tears ::   ~~~ XO: I've known something was on your mind...but....   I wouldn't have guessed THIS! ~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::She reaches the restaurant called Trixie's and steps in. She looks around:: CSO: Do you know if the Captain made reservations?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
XO: But...

Host BCMDR_Jinxx says:
@CO: Captain, I can't have officers under my command violating regulations no matter what the reason. This is a very serious matter.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@::follows the CMO, hands behind his back, still hanging onto a PADD, leans his head to the side::  CMO:  You are mistaken, Doctor.  As Vulcan, I do not have any interest nor realize any other feelings.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
XO: I've not been presented to your House...

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
XO: Will they accept me?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@CMO:  I do not know.  ::peeks inside::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
OPS:  I have.  That's enough

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Jinxx: Ma'am, I realize that but...excuse me Ma'am, have you commanded a starship out there in deep space before?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::Smiles:: CSO: Whatever you say Kalek. ::She looks around for a Host or Hostess::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Kisses him ::   XO: And who is the matriarch?  Will she accept me?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
OPS:  Let's not worry about all that right now...

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Wiggles ::   XO: And put me down a moment!

Host BCMDR_Jinxx says:
ACTION: Inside Trixie's is a large table in the rear with the name Triton Crew written across a large place card.

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::sets her down::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
XO: Stand right there...

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Jinxx: I intend no disrespect Cmdr

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
OPS:  Let's go join the others so they have something to celebrate.... 

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@::motions to a large table::  CMO:  There, Commander.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Goes to her closet and takes out a slender box ::   XO: Not yet, my love...I have something to show you...

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::calms down and hands the PADD's to the senior base engineer::  SB Engineer:  This time you had better get it right!!!!!!  I will be back to inspect your work.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::Notices the table and walks over to it:: CSO: Please call me Ashley, Kalek. We are off duty.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Takes the box and returns with it to Vince ::   XO: Open this...

Host BCMDR_Jinxx says:
@::grins:: CO: As a matter of fact I have Captain, for seven years, but this is not about my record.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@~~~CEO: T'Ponga you better get to the restaurant soon. You are not expected to be working.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Jinxx; No Ma'am it's not, but I think you can understand that a Captain has to follow his gut, orders or no orders, and I was right, no matter what the brass thinks

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
<SB Engineer> CEO: Ma'am you don't have to tell me my job I know it already.  However, I will do as you order.  ::smiles::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Watches him, her eyes eager ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@CMO:  As you wish... Ashley.  ::looks at the several chairs::  Should we sit now or wait for the others?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
XO: I did some research...

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::takes the box and opens it, seeing a d'k tagh missing one jewel::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@CSO: Lets sit, they will be here soon. ::She takes a seat::

Host BCMDR_Jinxx says:
@::turns and picks up a PADD::CO: I have a report here on Commander R'dex and it is very interesting.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
XO: I was getting this ready...and didn't know what...or if this is right...

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
~~~~*CMO*: Ashley I will be there in a few minutes.  I have to change.~~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
OPS:  I'm impressed.  You thought ahead!  ::laughs::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Jinxx: What is it he said Ma'am?  I couldn't get anything out of him other than a veiled reference to someone

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Smiles then laughs ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@::takes the seat alongside the CMO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
OPS:  Don't forget yours  ::nods toward the little box on the table::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@~~~CEO: Good.. I was hoping I wouldn't have to pull rank and make it an order.~~~ ::Smiles to herself:: CSO: So... how is the Science department?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::leaves Engineering dreading it cause of what she will find  when she comes back and heads for her quarters::

Host BCMDR_Jinxx says:
@CO: You will be told at a later date. For now, Starfleet is considering what to do about your misconduct.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Sees the box and moves to it.  Smiles and then looks at Vince. She then gently opens it ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Opens the box to reveal another, smaller, velvety box.  She removes it and gently opens the lid ::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@CMO:  All departments are working within nominal parameters.  However I must ask Commander Vince for a replacement for Lieutenant Torik.  ::looks around and appreciates the restaurant's decoration::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Jinxx; One thing Ma'am...this is completely my responsibility...I want no action taken against my crew

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
XO: I hope the d'k tahg was appropriate...

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
OPS:  It was.  Actually, I hadn't thought about that part yet.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Nods ::  XO: We need to talk about all that...I guess...   :: Smiles ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
XO: Where are we going, again?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@::leans his head to the side and when he's about to answer, T'Ponga's voice interrupts him::  CEO:  Greetings, Lieutenant.  ::stands::

Host Lt_Kent says:
@<Lt_Kent>CO: Sure thing sir. Just take the lift and head down two decks, then follow the corridor past the pet store and the laundry and then take a right and that's Trixie's. ::grins and salutes:: Have a good time sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
@Kent:  Why thank you Lt. You have a nice day ::grins and returns the salute::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
OPS:  I think it was called, "Trickies" or something

Host Lt_Kent says:
<Lt_Kent> ::hurries off and rounds another corner::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::Looks at T'Ponga:: CEO: Hello T'Ponga. ::She stands up:: CEO: Will you excuse us for a moment. ::She takes Kalek's arm and walks him to a corner somewhere:: CSO: I.. need an answer Kalek.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Nods still smiling ::   ~~~ XO: I must look like a grinning fool, my love ~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CO: Captain...

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::realizes that he and E'laina are beaming too much too hide anything::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
@CMO:  Ashley, this is not an appropriate behavior.  Lieutenant Shemara may get the wrong impression.  ::again in monotone voice::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: E'Laina for the last time when we're...all right you two, what's up?

::finds the table with the crew, then two chairs next to each other, even if he has to move someone::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::holds a chair out for E'laina::

Host ^SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Trixie's is bustling with people enjoying themselves. The music is playing softly over the speakers and the smell of food wafts throughout the place.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~CEO: He is Vulcan... they do not admit what they are feeling. To be honest, I am not sure if he knows exactly what he is.. "feeling"~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Stands next to Vince, trying not to appear overly happy.  Sees Vince offer her a chair and takes it.  Looks up at him and smiles ::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::takes his seat next to her::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::placid as a rock::  CMO:  I do have special care for you.  However, I am unsure about what to tell you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Leans into his shoulder smiling like some creature from an earth book called "Alice in Wonderland" ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
OPS: You better keep him in line E'Laina. No more injuries for him. ::Smiles::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CSO: It is a sacred thing, an expression of a deep love. You choose to spend your life with someone forever. Someone that you could not live without. ::Whispers back to Kalek::

::Hands Vince the small box and grins:: XO: Cmdr, if you please?
