[ Cwm Eliska Bremmer - Good Ship Medusa ]
The few minutes they spent on the ground and transiting from the surface to orbit, and finally to warp felt interminable to Bremmer. Hurry up and wait was the name of the game for Starfleet junior ranks; always be early, never be late, and it sometimes meant having to twiddle one's thumbs for quite a while before anything actually happened. She was used to that. But not when pretty much deep into enemy territory and she clung to her rifle closely, ready to bring it into play at a moment's notice...
But then, when her conscious mind finally caught up with reflex training and raw instinct, it was when she felt the indescribable feeling of Medusa going to warp. She had talked to others about it before, and they said they didn't feel it anymore; they said they could tell if they were at warp or at sublight, but they had stopped feeling the transition. In her case, she could sense all of it; perhaps it was her relative lack of experience, given that to her breaking the warp threshold was something that had yet to become old habit to her.
But warp meant safety, and that was her cue to return her weapons to the lockers, and she entirely undid her jacket, and another two buttons from her shirt. That pengwing (or whatever that bird was called) suit of hers was starting to feel stifling and she needed to relax. Which was good, because her mission brief said that once they were clear, it was downtime until they would meet up with Mac and go on home right where she belonged.
Which meant, she made her way to the lounge where the Skipper, Mister Quinn, Hunt and Jovireh were starting to relax. Which meant, it was her cue to do just that and she made for the bar. "I'll have a carafe of whatever vodka you have. Rye, potato, wheat, I don't care. Just one carafe, nice and chilled, please."
Well, her heavy-gravity metabolism could do short work of the alcohol, but that didn't meant that the relaxing effect of just getting to the liquor wouldn't be worth it's weight in gold...

[ Thea - Medusa] As the Medusa lifted off and headed to a safe point in which they could engage warp. Thea finally felt as though she could relax properly, safe in the knowledge that they had gotten the job done. Although she wouldn't necessarily miss Torus and all of it's luxury (okay maybe a little), Thea was definitely looking forward to getting back to her ship. She did consider albeit briefly to keep her Bajoran ridges a little longer, but until they reached the Mac would make the most of that time. When Isaiah suggested that they grab a quick breather and grab a drink, Thea liked that idea immediately, especially since she didn't have to worry about the Bridge. That was a bonus of using Jem's ship as she answered her boyfriend. Glad to have some time with him, without their other personas. " I'd love too and a drink definitely sounds good about now" she replied as Jov asked if she could join them. " Of course you're welcome to join us Jov" she said warmly and extended that invitation to the others as she led the way off, of the bridge and into the lounge. Acknowledging Jem and Hunt as Eliska also joined them.

[Hezula - Presidential Suite]
Upon entering her suite, Hezula went straight over to the now exposed safe. All of her precautions and someone had still managed to try and steal her most valuable asset. Some of her anger had abated after leaving the VIP area, however her blood still boiled at the though of being violated in this way. Taking a deep breath, the Orion Mistress opened the safe with her biometric code and looked inside. There was her precious data disk, a prize worth keeping for herself, now that she knew it's true value.
No one would ever get their hands on it and if they tried again, then they would feel the full wrath of her army. Smiling at the thought, Hezula sealed the safe once more and poured a drink. Thinking all she needed now was for Brutus to locate Mr Tuxedo, then it was time to leave this resort and find her next purchase.
That certainly appeased her somewhat, especially the idea of forming a partnership with the man who had captured more than her imagination. Or so she believed until Brutus called her with bad news. =H= I'm sorry Mistress, by the time we traced the transport signal, it was too late and he's no longer on the planet. We've also been unable to locate the potential thieves =H=
Hezula cursed loudly and when she spoke, Brutus cowered slightly. =H= We'll have our revenge one day and when we do, both Tuxedo and those who tried to steal from me, will be sorry =H=
She wasn't going to back down either as preparations were then made to leave and begin what needed to be done.

[Jurgha, daughter of Khar - Lounge, Medusa]
Naturally, she paid close attention as the Medusa made its getaway, until it seemed that they had safely gone to warp. For lack of anything else to do, Jurgha followed the others. The offer of drinks in the lounge surely did not compare to the Dances of the Five Deaths that they were missing out on thanks to the mission’s abrupt end. However, with nothing like that to draw her attention on the ship, it would have to suffice.
“I'll have your best bloodwine,” she declared, then settled in a seat at the bar when it was brought out. She may still look human, but there was no need to keep pretending to have human taste buds. At least it would chase down the lingering effects of what she'd drank back at the hotel.

[Lt. Commander Isaiah Quinn Six - Medusa ] With Thea agreeing to the change of scenery, Isaiah began to fall into step as they began to make their way to the lounge. He certainly had no objections to any of the rest of the team joining them in the lounge. They had all worked heard and earned it. He had been especially impressed (again) with Velal. This had been his first time working with both Bremmer and Jurgha, but they'd both done well also. As he entered the lounge, he noticed Hunt. If he wasn't sure before, he was now, the man had no qualms about taking on risk. And for their sakes, it had panned out to make the mission a success. Though, seeing the man now, he was gain curious about her earlier comment prior to beaming out. Quinn had only ordered a soda and waited for the others to get their own drinks. He sipped and nursed his next to Thea, still reminding himself that his girlfriend was presently Bajoran. In fact, quite a few of them had undergone surgical operations for this op. He figured Thea would eventually say something to address them all that had assembled, but took the opportunity to speak briefly to those that he had worked with. "Velal... Jurgha, helluva a job out there," he stated as he lifted his glass to acknowledge the women he had worked with last. "You really got me outta that pinch back there."

[PO1 Jovireh Velal - Medusa - Lounge]Following the others to the ship's lounge, she ordered a glass of Argellian whiskey. A little hesitant to drink after what had happened earlier, she reassured herself that she knew the effects this alcohol had on her, and how many she could drink before it kicked in. Unlike that spy drink Aydin had turned her on to... Settling down on one of the comfortable couches, she raised her glass in response to Isaiah's compliment. "Thank you. That's what teamwork is all about." Security tended to work with partners and teams more often than any other department, primarily for safety reasons. But they learned to read each other, anticipate decisions and actions, so they could work together to achieve the goal promptly with little errors. "I could say the same for you," she replied about pulling him out of the fire. After all, he had kept the person from coming into the room while they figured out how to access the safe, the least he could do was help send her along her way as soon as possible.

[Medussa – Lounge]
“Thanks” Hunt responded. As he observed Jem’s people bring him a bottle of beer. He was mostly drinking scotch and fancier drinks when in reality he was more a beer type of person. As he approached the Bar area he turned to Jem and with a slight smile “Thank you for your service”. He said as he was grateful that they were able to use her ship and the mission itself was a success.
“Lt. Commander,” Hunt said to Isaiah as he greeted him as he entered the bar area. He ordered his drink. It was not soon after that he observed Jov and greeted her “Petty Officer” and then Crewman Eliska “Crewman”. Hunt slightly greeted them by just raising his bottle of beer slightly. He observed A klingon ordering bloodwine. "To Victory" Hunt said. At least on this victory no one died and it was something that they could celerbrate.
It was not soon after that the Captain was there and invited the Petty Officer to sit with them. Hunt listened to both of them as they thank each other. He was a little lost as he was not involved in that part of the mission. Taking a sip of his beer Hunt just added. "It’s a good day, when a operation is successful with no MIA or KIA. I call that a great day”

[Ensign Enola - Medusa Lounge] Enola pushed through the corridors, skillfully ignoring all the people who somehow passed her by. In her quarters, she quickly got herself some extremely sturdy footwear and threw the dress with the neckline into the corner. She dressed decently, and shortly thereafter left her quarters again to join the group of people in the lounge. It was startling how often humanoids held any social activities, but it was only polite to attend this time. She again made her way through the corridors and finally opened the door of the lounge. It opened with a hiss more reminiscent of a cat that had been stepped on, and the partvulcan strode through.
After getting herself a drink as well, she cleared her throat.

[Jem Sparkles - Medusa]
" No need to thank me, Doctor, I was happy to help out and it was a lot of fun, well I'm sure it was for you" Jem replied with a wink, before Thea and some of the others entered the lounge and her stewards served them drinks. Smiling at her staff not wasting in any time in doing so and was proud at their efficiency. However, before she could join the informal party, there was one thing that she needed to do.
" If you'll excuse me for a moment, I need to go take all of this drag off, please enjoy the complimentary drinks and snacks and I'll be back shortly" she said addressing her guests, before leaving them momentarily.

[Aydin Tang Taft - Lounge, Medusa]Aydin had heard enough; he'd grasped the severity of the situation as soon as Felicity began answering in single syllables. Knowing that she'd need some time alone to process what had just been done to her, Aydin pushed himself off the wall of the corridor outside the small room, and followed in the direction the others hand gone. When he stepped inside the lounge he managed to smile winningly at the others. "Admiral Ellis passes along her thanks and appreciation." He had no idea what that would mean to any of them, but she had been the driving force behind this, and many of the other undercover missions he'd participated in over the last two years. The commander turned to look at Jovireh Velal, who was conspicuously without a special cocktail. "I'll need the package off you, now."When the stewards approached, he wasted no time in ordering. "Two whiskeys, Earth if you have it, neat. Oh, make one a double. Flick is going to need it," he added in an aside to the others, before choosing a seat and making himself comfortable, a whoosh of breath flowing from him with the effort. He was finally able to relax, and it was a strange sensation.

[ Cwm Eliska Bremmer - Good Ship Medusa ][/b]
As luck would have it, there was some proper vodka available, and a crystal carafe sitting in an ice bucket was produced, as was a single glass. A pretty small one at that, and just one look from Bremmer saw it replaced by a much larger one. It definitely had been one of those days.
Now armed with glass and libations, Eliska found somewhere to park herself with her fellow mission members, even though all of them, save perhaps for Jov, held rank astronomically higher than her own. After all, they had just been in the belly of the beast and ripped off a major criminal figure together, and had, through some minor miracle, gotten out clean with no pursuit and not filling any body bags on the way out.
That certainly had to be some sort of record all right... and it would seem that Grossman... Hunt, was in agreement with her on this, and she raised her just-filled glass in a salute before draining its contents. It was good vodka, and drinking it that fast was nigh on a sin, but she definitely needed the feel of that smooth fire pouring its way down to her stomach right about now. "We didn't lose anyone, we didn't cross off anyone, and somehow got out intact. If that's not a win, I don't know what is."

[ Thea - Medusa] Considering the emotions and close calls that they had experienced during the mission. Thea knew that some down time was required even if they were technically on duty now. Then again they still had a couple of hours before they met up with the Mac, which made taking this breather even more special as Jurgha and Enola, also joined them in the lounge. The only people missing were the Tangs, who Thea hoped would be with them soon. After going with a synthale for the moment, Thea smiled as Isaiah spoke up beside her and addressed those in his team. Appreciating why he had done it, as Jov answered him. This was why she loved her job and seeing how well her people worked together, giving her almost maternal pride in them all. When Jem then excused herself after Hunt greeted them all, Thea smiled and silently acknowledged the Drag Queen. Thea had to agree with what Hunt said next. " I agree, despite a couple of close moments". When Aydin appeared and passed on a message, Thea kept it together at the mention of Admiral Ellis. The woman responsible for them having to leave five of their people behind on Caldonia and now they had successfully completed a mission for her. Of course she was conflicted as he asked Jov for the disk, before ordering drinks for him and Felicity. Suddenly wishing for something stronger herself as she acknowledged the message. " Thank you, Aydin " she replied, as Eliska echoed Hunt's sentiments about the mission being a win. " It was and we can debrief properly once we get back to the Mac. Until then we're all off duty as we deserve it ".

"It's definitely a nice change of pace," she agreed, recalling all of the missions she'd been involved in that had gone sideways, and how many more she'd heard of. As Aydin approached her and requested the disc, she hesitated just briefly. After all, she didn't actually know him, however Thea didn't argue, and there were plenty of witnesses to the exchange that if something happened to the disc, it couldn't be pinned on her. So without argument, she leaned back slightly, and slid the disc from her waist band and handed it over to him. Relieved of that particular burden, Jov relaxed back on the sofa and took a deep drink from the glass in her hand. It was always nice celebrating a successful mission, as opposed to drinking away the stress of being held hostage...

[USS Mac - Several Hours Later] After a few hours off, the away team returned to the Mac without incident and a course was immediately set for home. With the disk and the information it contained no longer putting the fleet in potential jeopardy, a debriefing was held, before those who had been surgically altered, had their transformations reversed. Now back to normal and with all reports submitted by those involved. Thea had read over them, slightly amused at what was said in a couple, but at the same time it had been effective in making the mission a success. Then she had told the team that their leave started now, with them headed back to Front Ear. Taking her own advice and with orders given to contact her once they were ready to dock. Thea retired to her quarters with Isaiah to enjoy some alone time. Finite
