21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you, Commander. :: looks to the crew:: |
21:02... | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Everyone. Great to see you. If I am slow to respond to a situation, tonight, please bear with me as I am listening to the World Series, and am subject to texts from my son, and phone calls from my son-in-law. |
21:03 | .. | And, next week will be my Coast Guard Auxiliary meeting, so we will not be simming. As such, have you all read the brief, and do we have any questions? |
21:03 | CmdrDutcher | Yes, No! |
21:03 | Cdr_Hart | Brief read, no questions, Skipper. |
21:03 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:04 | LtAmeliaMoore | Read, No questions, Sir. |
21:04 | Lt_Banning | Y/n, Sir. |

21:10 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::nods to Dutcher:: [ XO ] Good morning, Commander. |
21:10 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Good Morning, Captain. Nice quiet morning so far. |
21:12 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] ::nods and almost delays his next move, wishing there was *something* to do otherwise:: Indeed it is. As such,... :: starts to rise:: ...You have the bridge. I will be in my ready room. |
21:13 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Aye sir. |
21:14 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > ::going over the latest maintenance reports on the slip-stream core:: |

21:18 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::also glances in the direction of the RR, then looks questioningly to Dutcher:: |
21:20 | EnsNguyen | CNS > ::meets Amelia at the lift:: [ Nurse ] Time to face the music? |
21:20 | CmdrDutcher | XO ::Shakes head:: .[NOIP] I was wondering how long he'd put that off. |
21:20 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ CNS ] I guess so. |
21:21 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: sets things up, so the two can sit comfortably on the sofa, and he will be in another comfy chair:: |
21:23 | Ens Nguyen | CNS >[ Nurse ] ::enters the lift and says, once Amelia is in:: Bridge. ::looks to her:: I'm surprised he waited this long. |
21:24 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::walks with the counselor:: >[CNS] Is it bad that I was hoping he would wait even longer? |
21:25 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: chuckles, as they exit the lift on to the bridge. Smiles to the others:: [ Nurse ] No, I don't think so, but it will be good to get this off of our heads. ::rings the chime for the RR:: |
21:26 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::looks toward the door:: Enter. |
21:27 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::takes a deep breath and enters:: >[CO] Reporting as ordered, Sir. |
21:28 | EnsNguyen | CNS > ::indicates for Amelia to precede him and walks in just behind her:: |
21:28 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ TAC/SCI ] anything interesting on the scans of the area? |
21:29 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Nurse/CNS ] Thank you, Both, for coming. :: Indicates the sofa:: Please, have a seat. there are refreshments there for you as well. :its in the comfy chair, once they have sat down:: |
21:30 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ XO ] I've spotted some commercial shipping traffic, but not much else, Sir. |
21:31 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ XO ] Pretty much the same here. The sensor net has caught some space bourne life forms, but that is about it, Sir. |
21:32 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: pours himself a cup of tea, then sits on the sofa:: |
21:32 | CmdrDutcher | XO > ::nods and just looks out the forward viewscreen:: |
21:33 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse> ::takes a seat and avails herself of the refreshments:: |
21:34 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::takes a sip of his coffee, looking to both of them:: [ Both ] I figure it is time we addressed the white elephant that is hanging around the ship, these days. |
21:36 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: furrows brows and almost looks for a white elephant, in the ready room, but then remembers it is an old Terran saying:: |
21:36 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse ::blushes a bit and keeps her eyes down:: |
21:38 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Both ] What they put us through, on that base... :: shakes his head:: First off, I want to apologize to both of you for almost losing it over there. I am the commanding officer, and should have had better control. |
21:38 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ Tac/Sci ] Just keep your eyes open. Never know what will come our way. |
21:38 | EnsNguyen | CNS > ::looks, a bit shocked, at the captain:: |
21:39 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ XO ] Always, Sir. |
21:39 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ CO ] Sir, you were the only one of us that maintained some level of control. |
21:39 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ XO ] Aye, Sir. |
21:41 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: offers a smile to Amelia:: [ Nurse ] Very *little* control, but yes... Control nonetheless. As for both of you, I want you to know I have put you, both, in for commendations. I, personally, felt your performance on that base was exemplary. |
21:42 | EnsNguyen | CNS >[ CO ] Was that because we *almost* gave in, Sir? :: has a small smile on his face, hoping the captain will see his comment for what it is:: |
21:43 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ CO ] ::looks up with raised eyebrows:: I'm not so sure I would agree with that assessment. It was all I could do to not ... well... you know. |
21:45 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Both ] :: chuckles::I guess that could be one consideration, Counselor, but no. Truth be told, the commendation will be for post-influence, and pre-influence. NUrse, despite y our discomfort with the initial situation, you handled yourself admirably, as did you, Counselor. |
21:47 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ CO ] Well, there wasn't much more we could really do at that point, sir. |
21:47 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: smiles to the CO and nods:: |
21:48 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Nurse ] No, there wasn't. Still, considering the circumstance, you could have performed in a completely different manner, and made things more difficult for me. |
21:49 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: smiles and looks to Amelia:: |
21:51 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ CO ] I guess so, but that had a lot do to with your calm demeaner. I certainly did not want to make it hard . |
21:51 | ... | >Nurse ::blushes as she realizes how that sounded:: |
21:52 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Nurse ] And you did not. And once we learned we were in a holodeck, you both kept your heads despite our unique circumstance. |
21:53 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: almost nudges Amelia over the "make it hard," comment, but refrains:: |
21:56 | CaptMcCloud | Co >[ Both ] We cannot continue to avoid each other. This isn't one of Starfleet's largest ship, where we could go for weeks not seeing each other, nor is it their smallest. So, I want us to clear the air ow. Again, I am not holding either of you for what happened once they introduced that influencer. |
21:57 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ CO/CNS ] I wanted to apologize to both of you myself. I tried to fight it, I did. |
21:57 | EnsNguyen | CNS >[ CO ] I suppose I have been avoiding bridge duty, Sir, and yes, I was embarrassed. |
21:58 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Nurse ] :: nods::Your apology is accepted, Nurse. [ CNS ] And yours as well, Counselor, if you were trying to do so. |
21:59 | EnsNguyen | CNS >[ CO ] :: eyes widen:: Oh yes, Sir. I do apologize. |
22:00 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Both ] Have the two of you talked to one another over this? |
22:00 | EnsNguyen | CNS > :: looks, first to Amelia, then to the CO:: We have had conversations, Sir. |
22:01 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ CO ] ::glances at Dane:: We did have a discussion about the event. |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Both ] :: smiles:: I feel a bit left out, then. I am glad you have talked about it, and I do apologize for waiting so long. |
22:03 | EnsNguyen | CNS >[ CO ] In all fairness, Sir, we *knew* you would get around to talking with us. |
22:04 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ CNS ] :: offers another smile and a nod:: I am glad you two did not lose faith in me. |
22:05 | LtAmeliaMoore | Nurse >[ CO ] I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to talking even then, but the Counselor was persistent. |
22:06 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Nurse ] Good for him! We need someone to break this ice while it is still somewhat thin. |

22:08 | CaptMcCloud | :: chuckles:: Indeed. I thank you, all, for indulging this. I wanted to get it out of the way. In two weeks, we will be on to something more exciting. Do we have any questions? |
22:09 | Cdr_Hart | None here, Sir. |
22:09 | Lt_Andrews | No, Sir. |
22:09 | LtAmeliaMoore | No, Sir! |
22:09 | Lt_Banning | No, sir. |
