[9:49][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Permission to speak is present, and should be considered qualent to what this is, A non duty dinner among officers of the same vessel.
[9:49][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Spoiling mine plans, commander? Quite the killjoy thou art.

[9:56][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Pray doth help thyselves." *She gently gestures to the plate full of various appetizers.
[9:56][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she sticks with water but takes some of the more carnivore friendly apetizers
[9:56][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at the food skeptically.-
[9:56][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay fills her plate with very small portions of as much as will fit.
[9:57][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus looked over the plates, getting himself a big, healthy couple of slices of the cheesy garlic bread.

[9:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh my winter holiday was enjoyable ma'am...just a little brutal is all.
[9:59][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I told you not to go to that Beryxian casino, Ristovski.
[9:59][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"I mean I guess... I got to get some messages off to my folks.
[9:59][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nah, I finally got around to buying a ring.

[9:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-selects aplate of appetizers she and cathy both enjoy
[9:59][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, an engagement one. The perfect opportunity to present it still eludes me, though.
[10:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it turns out if you are not Klingon that drinking blood wine is risky.
[10:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He got a few other little things to nibble, but concentrated mostly on the garlic bread.
[10:00][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:That is always true for anyoen with a fast metabolism
[10:00][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles at Ezri's remark.* "Don't most places warn you if you order it, Ezri?

[10:01][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:The Janitor is without honor. *she says in very bragodocious klingon voice
[10:01][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay tastes a wide variety, seeming to enjoy herself, despite some tastes that would obviously clash horribly.
[10:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Klingons are not into cleanly ness...they let the targs run free.
[10:02][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ew. I get a mess when I leave Snowball out of her cage for five minutes, I Can't imagine what a targ would do.
[10:02][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I imagine cleaning the targ litter box is not seen as honourable, either.
[10:02][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she eats something
[10:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah, the Targ kennels are pretty smelly...I don't recommend sleeping there.

[10:03][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Ez, please tell me they didn't.
[10:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..I don't remember much...or how I managed to end up in the Targ kennel.
[10:03][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Suprise engagement infront of your friends may not be the best choice
[10:04][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Well, thanks, Captain. But I don't have the ring, nor do I think she'd appreciate it being done in front of a table of people she doesn't really know. She's more of the... private affections type, I
[10:04][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Guess?
[10:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"don't get me wrong baby Targs are adorable. smelly, but adorable.

[10:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...Not that I know of Shay.

[10:05][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus got himself a glass of white wine, eyeing Ezri.
[10:05][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Well, at least you didn't die. Heard bloodwine can do that much easier than other booze.

[10:32][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus stared at the food for a moment before getting himself a hefty pork chop.
[10:33][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"This looks wonderful, thanks, Captain." *He would take himself a big yanda fish to try.
[10:33][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Cutting it up only to find it stuffed with various seasoned seaweed.
[10:35][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:Oh.. and there goes the appetizers.. *he watched as the staff whisked away the delicous food for other delicious food, examining them closely before he made his decision
[10:36][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"You are safe to just try things Damian, I'll tell you if something would hur you.
[10:36][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-makes herself a nice portion of jumbo Vulcan mollusks sauteed in Rhombolian butter
[10:36][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I don't think the captain would have ordered meals that would hurt us, Shay.
[10:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks over the main courses.-- "can I get more of that soup?
[10:36][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Prepares some salad and crepes on her plate.
[10:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she ate the mollusks as well
[10:37][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:It all just looks... so much.
[10:37][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Mhmm, I wouldn't think that either Bore.
[10:37][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Arcehs an eyebrow at Tegan.* "The soup? Very well..." *She nods once to Pham.
[10:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"If you don't get in the gym after a meal like this it might hurt most of your waistlines.
[10:38][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:The trill and shay excluded from that
[10:38][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I watch how much I eat, just like to taste as much as I can.
[10:38][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame smirked a little before he coughed into his hand gently
[10:38][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-adds a degree of redspice to her buttery sauce before digging into her meal
[10:38][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*prepares a little btie on the back of her fork and suspiciously eyes it before carefully taking a bite.
[10:39][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Noted, Doc..." *He cut up his chop and scooped a bit of mashed potatoes onto it before taking a bite.
[10:39][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:**A waiter enters with a bowl of soup and a spoon for Ezri, placing it infront of the Trill.
[10:39][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I'm techincally allowed to hurt my waistline for a few days more. It's still the holidays in -some- earth religions.
[10:39][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh thank you..
[10:40][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"But I'm going to spar with Nadine later tonight, hopefully, so that should help. If I live.
[10:40][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay whispers to Damian and laughs lightly
[10:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--spoons some soup into her mouth...-- "oh that is so good...it would go good with a grilled cheese sandwich..
[10:41][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-delicatey and methodically removes a mollusk from its shell and takes a tiny bite
[10:42][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay imitates the captain in the way she eats the main course, having never tries it before.
[10:42][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:Not sure I've eaten this well in awhile
[10:43][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Really, Costa? You know you can replicate a lot more stuff on the Citadel, right?
[10:43][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We ain't as limited as on the protector or Nexus Two.
[10:43][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-corrects Bore- 'Are not
[10:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i like the Kzari ration bars they have on Nexus Two..
[10:44][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We are not as limited..." *He gave V'T a disapproving look.
[10:44][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*A smirk reappeared, returning another whisper to Shay very quickly
[10:44][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow at his look nods once as he correctsd his grammar
[10:45][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He drank some more wine.
[10:45][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"we shoudl get some for the Protector.
[10:45][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Takes anotehr hesitant bite.
[10:45][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods once to Ezri
[10:45][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"You can have them made itn eh replicator tegan.
[10:46][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Is everything alright Ma'am?
[10:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"BNut i would caution they are made for Kzari and protectorate digestion
[10:46][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Rather well, indeed, how so, Lieutenant?
[10:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"sure doc, but we would need to get the pattern first. I suppose I could use the transporters to recreate the pattern...
[10:46][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Aren't Kzari pretty close to most federation species biologically, Doctor?
[10:46][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"This was your choice of meal, but you seem hesitant. It does not seem to be overly caloric.
[10:47][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:" They are but for instance a combat ration for a trill is differrent than one for a romulan or a human.
[10:47][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"True, they do have that emtabolism thing going on, I guess?
[10:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...i think they taste good. Those Kzari berries are almost as good as Jumja fruit.
[10:48][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Ah... Dread not. Merely a minor quirk of habbit.
[10:48][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"So a kzari is different than a Dinzi.
[10:48][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:It's not just the food, it's the presentation of it I guess
[10:49][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:In truth most humanoid species that are mamalian share lots of similarities
[10:49][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. It isn't replicated either, I think. Citadel has some good catering.
[10:50][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Even the Yanda are close to human outside of external adaptation to aquatic life.
[10:50][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Nods to T'Lena.* "I think I read something about that. Some theory about the similarities in evolution, right down to historical development. Can't remember the details, but it reasoned that most
[10:50][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"In the grand scheme of things anyway.
[10:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"they have a lot of retaurants in the promenade if you don't want replicated food.
[10:50][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well the milkyway has a the preserver problem.
[10:50][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Humanoids are so similar even their cultural development can be almost indistinguishable at times... such as the kzari being like our germans, back in the day.
[10:51][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Well, who knows if it was only the milky way?
[10:51][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Eyes another bite of food before delicately eating it.
[10:51][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"A lot of our species were genetic seeds.
[10:51][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"We know there was a lot of cross over between the LMC and miliky way..
[10:51][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, maybe the LMC was seeded in some way too." *He nods at Ezri.
[10:52][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay beeps, causing her to pull out the offending PADD from her pocket and read the message with a slightly annoyed look at it.* "Ma'am, request permission to be excused.
[10:52][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Permission granted, Lieutenant.
[10:53][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Thank you ma'am. I was expecting this communication earlier. Your dinner was very nice.
[10:53][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*She touches Damian's shoulder lightly and then says her good byes
[10:53][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Be well Lieutenant, See thee tomorrow." *She stands up.
[10:53][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she smiles at shay
[10:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--waves good bye to Shay.-
[10:54][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Waves to Shay, fork still in hand.
[10:54][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame turned to watch her leave, spinning back in his chair once she departed the room
[10:54][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*And goes back to the tasty stuffed fishie.
[10:55][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*consumes a muscle
[10:55][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Adjusts her uniform sleves.* "If I could have your attention, kindly.
[10:55][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*looks to zee
[10:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He swallowed and looked up at Zee.
[10:56][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:*looks over, trying to look crisp
[10:56][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Doth feel free to silently eat, I am quite certain thou art able to do both if such pleases thee.
[10:56][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--puts her soup spoon down and wipes her mouth then looks to the captain-
[10:57][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks towartds Zee
[10:57][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"According to this quaint tradition, The commanding officer is supposed to hold a speach... Unfortuantely I am not quite that much of grand speaches and emotion rousing eloquence.
[10:57][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Looks to Zee, eating quietly.
[10:57][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"that is okay ma'am your mere prescence is inspiring to us...
[10:58][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Thus unfortuantely for you, It will be an rather heart to heart type of less then masterfyll eloquence and semantic.
[10:58][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Thank you Tegan.
[11:00][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"I thought I would talk about us, and our crew, Of history and the past, the future, of observations and obsticles, and our path forth.
[11:00][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"What I would wish to see, and what we all see together.”
[11:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus nibbled a dinner roll as he listened.
[11:03][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Being assigned as the commanding officer of hte USS Protector has been quite interesting, a chalange and an awwakening.
[11:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"you are doing a great job ma'am.
[11:05][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Ere I was a strategic oeprations officer, I served in the iconian war as the leader of a deep operatio Delta unit. One that saw quite significant battles, repeatedly.
[11:05][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Once it ended, I changed quite some, one thign was that I no longer held any wish or intent to ever command anything once more. I transfered to strategic operations, on starbase duties... and there
[11:06][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> I was for quite some time. Quite intent on never commanding ever again.
[11:06][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*whispers* Tegan let her spea
[11:07][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"With time came change, And I became a deputy Director... Somewhat close to commanding, yet there was always anotehr above. Not truly the same, even if in practice it was just that. To my mind,
[11:08][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> yet to mine mind I dare say it seemed liek there was still someone else whom held that quite significant position I feared." *she purses her lips a moment.
[11:09][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Certainly I did hold a few acting CO or OTW assignments, yet never that unquestineble position of absolute responcebility once more. Untill a day where Admiral Compton knocked on mine door.
[11:10][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Apperently, It was a quite pressing topic that I were to be given a ship, And thusly, I meet you." *Gestures to those at the table.
[11:10][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"I will admit to such, I was quite terrified." *She offers a faint smile.
[11:10][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"The unwanted orphan ship on your doorstep," *he murmured.
[11:11][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Aught to such. A vessel which in Stratcom I had alwasy been preplexed by. On one hand... A vessel called upon over and over to achieve grand results... and on anotehr note, one where diciplne
[11:12][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> seemed lost. Not to mention certain other topics. Yet the protectors record holds topics such as Xert, Encoutners with the cosmic entity 'Victoria' The battle of Bajor merely to mention a few.
[11:13][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Indeed, Iwas rather nereveous to be assigned such, especially given my history to it.
[11:13][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Pauses a moment and sips some water.
[11:15][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He cut up more of his pork chop.
[11:15][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Yet... here we are. One Chancellor saved, Invalueble SIGINT procured, iligal Cybernetic labs destroyed and... A space station secured. By us, Together. I dare say that is quite awesome indeed.
[11:15][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Offers a warm smile.
[11:15][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she smiles
[11:15][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"One way or another, ma'am, we get results." *He chuckled.
[11:16][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri takes a moment to wipe a tear away.-
[11:16][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"So indeed, This has been a chalange, once we overcoem together, It been interesting, as one team, yet also on my own path to once more do aught which I feared. Yet mayhap more then all else, It been
[11:16][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Smiles as well, nodding his head to Zee.
[11:16][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods once to this
[11:16][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> an honour to be assigned as the commanding officer of you all.
[11:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it has been an honor serving with you ma'am.
[11:17][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*offers a smile to Tegan.
[11:18][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I know we're a handful, and some of us..." *Lightly points to himself.* "More than others, but it's been good so far, Captain.
[11:18][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame crossed his arms across his chest, looking down at the table with a grin as he listened quietly
[11:18][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"I'm proud to be here, ma'am.
[11:19][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I find your assignemnt to be a rare..logical decision from command Captain -perhaps a smirk
[11:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*sips her drink
[11:20][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus gave a small smile and leaned over to pick up his wineglass.* "I believe, ma'am, that this is where we toast.
[11:20][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Now I know I came in to a picture which thee all haveth already shared among eachother for years, yet as the new person to the table, There art topics I noticed.
[11:20][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"In normal circusmtnaces, Indeed. Yet I have to live up to the image of long speaches." *She grins to Marcus.
[11:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He chuckled and set the glass back down.
[11:22][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"This is an observation mayhap bein of some of thee here, or to thsoe thee lead in thine roles as departmentheads, bridge officers and leaders. And I doth wish to share such, as I beleive it is
[11:22][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> somewhat important.
[11:23][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"I told the quite unlikely, and soemwhat curvy journey I took here. YEt in such I am far from alone. Many on this ship shares an either long, quite complicated curvy path to be here, Or having
[11:24][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> graduated the academy and imediately set here. To some, having graduated the academy to find a... vessel with a peculiar stucture and situation when they arrived.
[11:24][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Or mayhap the word lay to lack of structure. practices, decorums, policies nad prosedures of starfleet having been forgotten, Easily taken as
[11:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked at V'Tira momentarily.
[11:25][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> aught only needed at the academy, eyt no need on the USS Protector. I am quite certain thee knowth what I speak of.
[11:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a single brow at Amrcus before turning her attention back to Zee
[11:25][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Which I dare say... Is in no way teh fault of the individual who graduated four hard years at the academy to find themself there. Such is a fault of the system, and mayhap what was ere us.
[11:26][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked back at Zee innocently.
[11:27][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"We holdeth others whom cometh from the most unique of places, long paths and hard battles to be here among us. Yet in there too, after such
[11:28][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> having to cometh to deal with the duplicity of the crew that does anything asked of them... yet the ghost of years past haunting.
[11:29][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"To where being a good officer was... mayhap not enough." *she shrugs lightly.* "To where gaining any attention or even acnowledged from a higher instance was to stand out by any mean nessesary...
[11:29][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:" To where Infamous is a form of famous was a quite nessesary mean to even be acknowledged.
[11:30][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"It been a quite long rod on that path for all of us, and we would not be here today if not for our quite hard work to restore the starfleet way to the Protectors 'Can do' ways I dare say.
[11:31][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Yet I want you to know this, trustfully I wish to tell it to everyone on the ship, yet you art here now.
[11:31][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"I see you.
[11:31][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Not for who can do the most peculiar joke on the bridge, or dress the least according to regulation. Not for who scream teh loudest nor holdeth the quirkiest idea. None of that
[11:32][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> is what I care to see. even if such mayhap was what was needed to even be acknolwedged.
[11:32][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"I see you, for the quite remarkable officers you haveth shown me you are. In missions such as our attack on the Cybernetic labs, Our quite unique recovery of the chancelor
[11:33][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> or our near legendary efforts to take a station. That is what I see. And I dare say That is what makes you special.
[11:34][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"So I ask thee to all help me to see the crew for the talanted individuasl they art as officers and professionals... and together
[11:35][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:> kill the legacy of ghosts past, and the old need to stand out by any means nessesary, for that being a good officer was not enough. I see -you-. And that is our path forth, together.
[11:36][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"And it is that part of thee which makes being the commanding officer of the USS Portector and NExus two be an incredible honour, one to which I look forht to our new year together.
[11:37][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"A year where quite some chalanges shall lay in our hadns to shape, yet one I doth know we will meet.
[11:37][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Pauses a moment.* "I doth believe that fits the length expected in this fleet... so a toast, to you, to us, as a team" *Seh holds up her glass.
[11:38][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy holds up her glass.* To the Protector
[11:38][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:*holds up his glass
[11:38][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"And to once and for all exorcising the ghost of Asada?" *He smirked and raised his glass again.
[11:38][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Raises his glass with the others.
[11:38][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame nodded, raising his own glass with the others
[11:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--raises her glass-- "To the Protector best ship and crew ever.
[11:38][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-holds up her glass to toast- To us al
[11:39][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"To the joint effort in the exorcism of the ghost pasts. I can nto alter the past, Yet I know the future if you leave the past behind and atempt anew, you art fantastic.
[11:39][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Takes a sip of her wine.
[11:39][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Hear, hear." *He took a sip.
[11:39][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--sips her water-
[11:39][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Takes a sip of wine after Zee.* "Yes, Ma'am.
[11:40][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-sips her drink
[11:40][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy takes a sip.
[11:40][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Thank you for your time." *She sits down, offering a charismatic smile.
[11:40][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Arth thee ready for desert?
[11:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:I am always ready fro desert
[11:41][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Captain. With lots of chocolate.
[11:41][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Who'd say no to dessert?
[11:41][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Someone who ... uhj... I dunno.
[11:41][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He eyed Costa.
[11:42][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We'll save you some.
[11:42][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:*Nods to Pham.
[11:44][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:**The servants enters once more, clearing the table and presents a lovely slection of lavish desert, Chocolate puddings, icecream, panacotta, pancakes jsut to mention a few.*
[11:45][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus got himself two scoops of the ice cream and then poured pudding over it.
[11:46][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Now to the... as promised quick briefs, once thee art 'Stuffed' As Commander Blaine charmingly put it.
[11:46][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore looks around, faced with a difficult choice, and ends up getting a chocolate mousse with trillberries... to start with.
[11:47][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*took chocalate... all the things
[11:47][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Tomorrow evening, you art all officially recalled to active duty.
[11:47][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Guess we should get all the stuff we want to take with us to Nexus 2 packed up.
[11:47][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"The first order shallt be to sleep, and pack if such is not done. As the morning after, we load on to the protector, And set course for Artessia.
[11:48][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"With some assistance, we shall arrive cloaked to Nexus two just in time to see ourselves depart for this leave.
[11:49][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus blinked.
[11:49][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well that's one way to ensure coverage
[11:49][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Fun fun.
[11:49][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"I am quite sorry, it was the only method availabel to allow thee all a winter leave.
[11:50][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Surprised the timecops let you do it Captain.
[11:50][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"So... wait.
[11:50][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Huh... surprised they--- yeah. That.
[11:50][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Those weeks of vacation we had? We basically have to work through them?
[11:50][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"So am I.
[11:50][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Yes. In a sense.
[11:50][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"If it makes you feel any better, this means we get a second Christmas.
[11:50][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Guess that makes sense, Captain. Thanks for the leav, though.
[11:51][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"Verily. One among the Kzari who would be delighted someone shares such tradition with them.
[11:51][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"True. That sounds nice. We'll have to stock up on food and stuff to bring to them, however. Don't wanna put the extra strain on the replicators.
[11:51][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"And a second New Year's Eve..." *He rubbed his beard.
[11:52][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-eyes Marcus amoment and returns to her cookie
[11:52][DOIC1]Alizee Zhaixe@Illuic:"One where you can not call anyone. as to anyone whom know thee, you were here.
