The communications console lit up, it was a hail from the station requesting the Captain.

GM

Cross noted the incoming communication on his station and informed the XO.”Commander, we have an incoming hail addressed specifically to the Captain.”

Cross Sec

There was a moment as Amze looked around before replying, “Well, as the Captain is mostly likely down with a stomach bug, I guess that I can take it.” Inwardly she was cheering, as her plans of taking command usually never went this well, or lasted for this long.

Amze Ezma (XO)

“Aye sir. Where would you like to me route it?” Cross asked, prepared to send the call where ever the XO wished.

Cross Sec

Thinking for a moment, Amze replied with a, “Here is fine, anything that they can tell me, they can tell you.” Mostly she did not want anyone to take the chair while she was away.

=/\=Bridge, come in?=/\= he repeated starting to wonder if the ship still had a bridge…

-Harry

=^=Bridge here. What can we do for you, Doctor?=^= Came the response from the Security station on the bridge.

Cross sec

=/\=What’s going on up there? Did someone let the counsellor drive again?=/\= came Harry’s voice over the comm system.

-Harry

Cross snorted and laughed,=^=No, but not sure what happened. We’re looking into it, Doctor. Were there any reported casualties due to it?=^= His grin widened as he recalled reading a Fleet article about the aforementioned Counselor Troi who had crashed the Enterprise into a planet. It had become a Fleet joke very quickly.

Jalel chuckled at the Doctor’s comment and resumed to standing by at Tactical. Then a grave thought emerged and it became evident on his face. “Commander with your permission, may I check on the status of my wife and child SIr?”

Davis, CTO

The view screen blinked on, “WELCOME WELCOME WELCOM!!!!! We are so excited that you have chosen to take your shore leave here with us. We have so much to do. We have EVERYTHING you can imagine!!!!. Well where are my manners my name is Bo bo!!!!”

GM

Cross looked up at the screen to see who it was they were speaking with. He studied the speaker carefully wanting to know his race, he certainly didn’t seem Ferengi. By his mannerisms he had to be human or a race equivalent.

Cross Sec

Smiling, the XO stood up, “Why thank you Bo bo, we are quite happy to be here.” She tried to peek around the person on the screen, to see what was behind him, “But before we can get started, I only think that it would be prudent that you give us a few hints of what is in store, building hype and all of that.”

Amze Ezma (XO)

Pierce looked over. She didn’t say anything, but she mimed an explosion with her hands, raising her eyebrows.

-Pierce

Pilar observed Bo bo....looking for any sign of those little colorful helium filled floating balls. Her anxiety was so high that she didn’t even catch the conversation that was going on around her. All she knew is that she was out of there…the second she spotted one.

Halycone

Jalel began concocting of ways to protect the ship.

Davis, CTO

While she was waiting for a reply, Amze was mentally thinking of ways that she could turn this situation to her favour. Perhaps she could convince the Captain that all of the explosions were harmless, or perhaps leave him in a room with some clowns. Shuddering, she remembered the one time that she went to the circus as a child, and was scarred for life by those monsters.

Amze Ezma (XO)

Bo bo jumped up and down lifting one foot and then the other, “OH of COURSE OF COURSE COMMANDER!!!!!!!!!!!, There are wonders and delights beyond your dreams!!!!!. We have space hoopers, and rare species exibits!!, actors who defy gravity, the best restaurants and of course bars. We have the best of holosuits and the best live entertainment around” Bo Bo Paused and smiled reaching behind him, he produced what would commonly be on earth as balloons “And of course every visitor gets a complimentary Helium Floaty!!!!!!”

GM

Pierce shook her head a little. “Is there any chance any of us will survive?” Then she covered her mouth as she realized she had said that out loud.

-Pierce

Rujo had been having the most wonderful dream, he was a wild tribble trainer and he had them all jumping through rings of fire and forming shapes like lions and other things, and he had a whip and a chair and a lion tamer hat that had bright pink neon writing on it that read “Tribble Tamer” … well it actually read “Lion Tamer” on it, but the word “Lion” was crossed out and Tribble was written on it in bright neon crayon. It was a most marvelous dream!

He snored, and the snore actually woke him up, “ok then, I guess its time for us to all become tribble tamers … I mean go and see the circus. Bo Bo, we accept your offer. Commander Ezma, I want you to go down first. Take an away team with you … buy enough tickets for the entire crew. Now, Bo Bo, does your circus include the opportunities for us to take part in the show? I want to tame wild and dangerous … tribbles.”

• CO

Bo Bo’s Eyes lit up and he hopped from one foot to another “OH YOU’VE HEARD OF THE TRIBBLE ROOM!!!! Of course of course Captain, Our famous tribble room is ready and waiting for you,” Pausing he smiled even broader “Just for you I will have a tribble sent over to your ship, one for EVERY crew member aboard!!!! I’ll even attach a floating sphere to each one!!!! Oh the fun you will have Captain, your entire crew!!!”

Amze rolled her eyes at the captain’s request, “Yes sir, I shall be sure to do that.” And her plan was going so well…

Amze Ezma (XO)

GM

Cross actually paled at hearing that Tribbles were going to be sent over to the ship.
“Uh sir! We cannot accept unknown alien life forms without them being scanned.” He said nervously his voice almost cracking in his nervousness.
