::Looking out on the hundreds filling the room, mostly crews sticking together. In the background Admiral so and so is droning on.:: That man can talk for hours.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:07 PM
Caressa was late arriving to the last session. She located the Merc crew and took a seat next to the aisle. “sorry I am late”
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:07 PM
::Parks at the table with a bit of a thud, and regards the food offerings with the sort of … bored… expression.:: Oh good, so it’s not just me?
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:07 PM
::Rubs forehead:: Hopefully he doesn’t put us to sleep.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:08 PM
::sits at the table, facing the podium, with a mediocre cup of coffee in her hands::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:08 PM
::closest to the door of course::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:09 PM
Hopefully there aren’t announcements. I’m sort of tired of the announcements.
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:09 PM
There’s always announcements.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:09 PM
“This is mind numbing”
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:09 PM
Always the announcements. How many are actively listening though?
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:10 PM
::glances around:: Looks like people within thirty feet of the podium. Everyone else is on their PADD.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:10 PM
::mantra-like:: it’s almost over. It’s almost over
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:11 PM
::The coffee looked well….good. She slipped out of her seat to the back of the room at the beverage cart::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:11 PM
::Eyes now cold cup of tea::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:11 PM
:::THE FUTURISTIC SLIDE SHOW PART BEGINS:::
Thank the Lord I sent Patricia up to the ship early. She’d murder someone by now.
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:12 PM
I did wonder where she was at. Yeah, she’d go nuts.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:12 PM
:: She grabs a cup and adds coffee, sweetner and creamer, stirs::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:12 PM
Can we have real alcohol? ::Sounds plaintive.::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:12 PM
I didn’t hear that.
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:13 PM
::Smirks::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:14 PM
The week has been good, but I’ll be glad to see the kids again.
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:14 PM
How much trouble do you think all the kids have been causing?
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:14 PM
::She turns and then runs into the chest of the Bajorian commander again. Under her breath as to not be loud:: “You again, seriously?” :: She moves from him and takes her seat and glances back at him::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:15 PM
My kids have been good…his kids…::shrugs::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:15 PM
::side glance:: Funny how they’re always my kids when they set something on fire.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:16 PM
::smiles::
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Today at 9:16 PM
::slips into a chair:: Sorry. We had a bit of a diaper blowout…with fur. ::ruffles the still-damp fur on the baby’s head::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:17 PM
::grimace::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:17 PM
That sounds…special.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:17 PM
“bet that was messy” :wrinkles her nose::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:17 PM
Kinda glad I’m past that with my kids
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:18 PM
::sips her coffee::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:18 PM
I got our new orders this morning. We’re to set course for the Yarif system, a few sectors from Vulcan and do some anti-pirating patrols.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:19 PM
There are times when I think we are all kids. Especially when we want to hide under the table to avoid the … slideshow. ::Tilts head sideways::
::Grins:: Yarif? Neat.
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:19 PM
Patrols though? Oh that sounds so fun.
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:20 PM
:::THE BROADER AUDIENCE APPLAUDS SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE SAID:::
::polite clapping:: We’ve had worse.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:20 PM
::Claps along, not sure why::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:20 PM
Hey I am up for something different? No plagues, disease or injury.
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:20 PM
::Politely claps::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:21 PM
::looks around and claps not sure what for::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:21 PM
Pirate patrols sounds fun. Do we get to fly one of those black flags?
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:21 PM
“Drink rum???”
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:21 PM
Please don’t give anyone any ideas.
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Today at 9:21 PM
That’s only if you are a pirate.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:21 PM
I think we’re stopping the people flying the black flags…::grins::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:22 PM
I do want to commend all of you though. I’ve heard nothing but good things about my crew this week.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:23 PM
::Chuckles::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:23 PM
We do try, even if some things were just annoyances.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:23 PM
Thank you for the compliment Sir. It’s nice to be hearing that we’re doing some good.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:24 PM
::Caressa’s eye catches a glimpse of the Bajorian commander, he was sitting three tables forward to the right. He looks back at her and winks. Her confusion was evident on her face::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:25 PM
Oh come on, the sessions on how to negotiate better deals with the Ferengi, albeit ironic given our recent travels, was at least interesting. I’m going to use the skills to negotiate earlier bedtimes with Marcus.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:25 PM
::Leans over to Caressa:: Did he just wink at you?
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:26 PM
“yes and I have no clue who he is, its actually a bit disturbing.”
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:26 PM
::chuckles, wanting to watch his attempt::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:26 PM
Negotiating with kids, good luck on that one.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:27 PM
If you were to believe our instructors, we are only capable of flying the slowest ships out there, because we are all utterly useless. Oh, and we wouldn’t be able to fly our way out of a trash can if we were flies.
::Grimaces:: I didn’t really understand the last one.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:27 PM
::looks at Kerwin:: what?!?
That’s horrible
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:28 PM
Wait, seriously?
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:28 PM
Yea, who said that?
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:29 PM
::turns to Kerwin:: Wow really?
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:29 PM
::Shrugs:: Instructor M’bee. They say things like that all the time. It’s how we know they still love us.
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:30 PM
Well you have yet to run us into a moon. ::side grin to Edra:::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:31 PM
I try to avoid them. Messes up the paintwork, and then I have to explain things to engineering.
::Grins:: I like this crew.
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:31 PM
I know I was tired of having to listen about the wrong way to fire phasers and target. I can only handle so much stuff set for ensigns before I want to rip my hair out.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:31 PM
::takes a sip of her coffee, until his joke. She barely stops herself from spitting it out::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:32 PM
::Caressa watches the Bajorian commander get out of his seat walk up the aisle where she was seated and smile at her and wink. He then heads out the conference room door.” Ok I have had enough of this. I will be right back.” She puts her cup down and follows him out the door::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:33 PM
::watches the presenter give an award:: I think we’re nearing the end. ::half nod to Caressa::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:33 PM
::Watches Caressa::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:33 PM
Do we need to send a rescue team for him? She does pack a mean punch.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:34 PM
::watches the award giving::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:35 PM
Admiral So and So> And this concludes our most successful conference to date!
:::The amount of people jumping to their feet and heading to the exits surprised even him:::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:36 PM
::Perks up:: Did Admiral So & So really just say it’s done?
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:36 PM
::applauds::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:36 PM
I think so.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:36 PM
Don’t get me wrong. It’s always nice to catch up with people, but I like the peace of space. Even when it’s not peaceful, yanno?
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:37 PM
::considers:: is someone manning our transporters?
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:37 PM
:::once many of the others have cleared out, stands:: Alright. I’m going to have a talk with a few instructors and then I’ll see you all onboard.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:37 PM
::nods to Kerwin::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:38 PM
::Gives a nod to the captain and stands up::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:38 PM
::To Edra:: Transporters sounds good.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:38 PM
Avoid the crowds
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:38 PM
And someone go let the Doctor know we can get out of here.
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Today at 9:39 PM
I think the Doctor is…occupied.
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:39 PM
Even more reason. I dont want her locked up for homicide.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:40 PM
::Chuckles again::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:40 PM
Hmm… I’ll go look for her. ::walks away, weaving through ppl::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:41 PM
:::spots M’bee, and makes his way over::::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:42 PM
::Stands up and stretches::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:42 PM
::gets out the door with the crowd, and looks around for Caressa::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:43 PM
:::calmly speaking to the much smaller man, as the instructor’s eyes widen and he nods slightly:::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:43 PM
::Hangs out by the door for a bit, just people watching::
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Today at 9:44 PM
::Edra walks out the the common area, scanning for Caressa. She cannot locate her in the crowd. Then a glimmer catches her eye::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:44 PM
::re-approaches:: Alright, now we can go.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:45 PM
::begins to walk toward the shimmering object::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:45 PM
::Grins as she spots the Captain.:: Aye sir. I take it that M’bee will rethink his approach?
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:45 PM
::Raises an eyebrow::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:45 PM
Oh, who is to say?
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:45 PM
::picks it up offthe floor::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:46 PM
Well, thank you sir. it’s nice to know that you have confidence in all of us.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:47 PM
+Captain+ We’ve got a problem…
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:47 PM
+edra+ Transporters down?
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:47 PM
::holds Caressa’s comm badge in her hand:
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:48 PM
::Pushes up off the wall hearing Edra talking on comms::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:48 PM
+captain+ no… I’ve got Caressa’s comm badge.
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:48 PM
+Edra+ And where is she?
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:48 PM
::Turns her head slightly, looking around them::
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:49 PM
::slightly annoyed:: if I knew, I wouldn’t be talking to you now. ::looking around for any sign of her in the crowds::
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:50 PM
::looks to the rest of them :: Direct transport up…now. +edra+ on my way.
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:50 PM
Aye sir. ::Glances at the others::
Cmdr Brielle Jayde – CTac — Today at 9:51 PM
::Frowns:: Understood.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:51 PM
::keeps looking, walking a few steps from her original position, but not going far.
::
Lt Kerwin Nuhl – Helm — Today at 9:52 PM
Commanders, if one of you would give the nod to transporters?
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:52 PM
::heads out the door and meets up with Edra::: I think the pirate patrols just got cancelled.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Today at 9:53 PM
Yeah…but how? You know her. She wouldn’t go down without a heck of a fight.
Cpt H Crow — Today at 9:53 PM
That’s what worries me.
