[Hot Candy - Observation Lounge, Deck 11]Late
Candy's mother always said that royalty is never late; everyone else is just early. Besides, the hour was uncivilised, her shift the night previous had been lengthy, and it took work to look this good. Ninety minutes of work, to be exact. And, bonus, the young entrepreneur thought as she slipped into the Lounge, she'd missed all of the boring talking. It seemed that everyone was already splitting into teams, so Candy paused for a moment, gaze weighing, judging, flitting from group to group. She made her decision, and approached the aquamarine Andorian. A beautiful colour; he would match her eyes. "Well good mornin'!" She greeted brightly, all smiles and sparkling eyes as she stood next to Shavan. "And it just keeps getting finer. I'll be joining y'all! Pleasure to make your acquaintance." She liked this team's chances the best. Candy was in it to win it, like everything else in her life, and she would do anything to secure that upgrade. One year of bunking with that ornery Flaisl was quite enough, thank you muchly.

This was something all of the teams could work out themselves. She handed over A's PADD, careful to extend her arm into the middle of the group and not pass the instructions directly to any one individual. Who put themselves "in charge" was always an interesting thing to observe. She hoped that the officers wouldn't assume themselves to be the de-facto leaders, and would treat their civilian teammates as equals. The "instructions" on A's PADD would read: Next, Team B. Again, she held out a PADD containing everything the team would need to get through the day, and studied each of them in turn. The new Science Officer with the new Assistant Chief, hopefully a beneficial match. She did nothing but arch a brow at the sight of the young, bright-eyed blonde sidling up to what would appear to be her own personal pick of the bunch. Without a word, she backed away. The "instructions" on B's PADD would read: Team C: Her best friend, the kind-hearted, friendly Betazoid, with Ensign O'Connell, who Felicity thought might have use for some gentleness for the day, and a Cardassian, who no doubt had received a cold reception on Front Ear. She held out their PADD, smiled, and left them to it. The "instructions" on C's PADD would read: Back in the centre of the room Felicity raised her arm, and her voice. "Computer, start the clock. Teams, good luck." Shavan Th'zhaar , Kova Sh'qaleq , Ic Arbrell , Jonathan Hunt , Eliska Bremmer , Leanna Mazal , Syl O'Connell , Enola

[Felicity Ellis - Observation Lounge, Deck 11]... She'd need it. She moved toward the centre of the room and began to speak. "Thank you all for being here."Once the chatter and background noise died down to a manageable level, she continued. "I'm Commander Ellis, and I'm your new XO. One of my duties is to ensure that the crew is happy and whole, and functions well as a unit when required. I've found that's proving difficult to do here on the Station, due to some issues between the civilian population and the Fleet officers posted here. There's been a breakdown in relations between us, and while that's understandable, if we're all to live together here, we owe it to ourselves - each of us, to see if we can make things more tolerable."She placed her mug down on a nearby table as her gaze swept the room. She made sure to spare a glance for each one of them. She was serious about this, about trying, anyway, and she wanted that to come across. "If that's not enough of an incentive for you to play along with my madness, then perhaps an upgrade or two might do the trick. Want some extra space for that art studio? Playroom for the spawn? Second bedroom for the mother in law?" Her arms opened wide, gesticulating along with her own enthusiasm. "Or maybe something else, something less ambitious, but equally as interesting. A former CMO I served with once swore by his water shower. You could ask for an old-fashioned, claw tub, and sit in it until you become a prune. A kitchen! A fully-equipped, Cook It Yourself, burn the Station down, kitchen." She shrugged, she had no idea why anyone would want to make that kind of work for themselves, but she personally knew a lot of people who dug it. She pulled a PADD from it's secure spot in her waistband and held it up. "Requests are approved..." Her tone turned from sales pitch, to something lighter, more playful. "For the winners."
"Rules are as follows: One! You start together, you finish together. All members of your team must be present and accounted for at the end, or nobody wins the prize. This is all about teamwork, so you work as a team. Two!" She started counting off on her fingers as she began to pace. "You cannot leave the Station. Three! On this adventure, you will encounter officers and civilians alike, who are following my instructions. Be polite. If I hear of anyone getting shirty with my helpers, you're done and it's an instant fail for your team. Four! First team back to me with all objects wins. Simple."
"Now, the teams are as follows! Team A! Feel free to rename yourselves, by the way - Team A will be Jonathan Hunt, Eliska Bremmer, Jurgha, daughter of Khar and Candy Barr. Team B, you are Ensign Ic Arbrell, Kova Sh'qaleq and Lieutenant Shavan Th'zhaar. Team C! Team C will be Leanna Mazal, Ensign Syl O'Connell and Eta." She looked up from the PADD, mostly to check if she'd missed anyone. There was no sign of a couple of participants, but it was early, and she'd give a ten minute grace period. "Okay go and meet your teammates. I'll be around with your team's instructions shortly."She stepped back, signalling the end of her lengthy introduction, and moved toward the duffel she'd left near the catering tables. From within she pulled out a stack of mini-PADDs, each loaded with information on the teams, a copy of the rules, a map of the Station and the first set of instructions. [Ens. Syl O'Connell - Front Ear - Observation Lounge]A few others she did know entered the room after her, but before she could do any more than wave, she was approached by a doctor she hadn't met yet. At his question to her well-being, she merely shrugged. "Well as can be expected." Taking another drink of coffee, when he asked about the Andorian and not leaving 'him' alone, at first she thought he was referring to Shavan, whom had also made a beeline for the coffee. A quick glance, however, proved he was looking in the entirely wrong direction for that to be the case... And followed his gaze across the room, where Kova was still standing by the door. For a moment Syl just blinked, staring at the Andorian for a little longer than usual, trying to figure out just what it was about her that said 'male'. "That's Kova. She usually prefers being left alone," she answered after a moment. Seeing a Cardassian enter and start talking to said loner, Syl continued. "We may need to rescue Eta in a few minutes though... "Another sip of coffee, and she felt a light touch on her elbow from behind her. Instinctively stepping away from the touch, she turned to face the person. Upon seeing Eliska, her face lit up in a smile, and she apologized for the withdrawal by giving the other woman a brief hug. "Hey! Sorry, I didn't see you..." They didn't have time for anything else, however, as Commander? Ellis started to address them. Syl listened carefully as the rules were explained, then the teams listed. At least she was with one person she knew... Though she envied Shavan and Kova being assigned together. With a small sigh she drained the last of her coffee and disposed the mug, bidding Eliska a 'good luck' before moving over to Eta. A woman she assumed was Leanna joined them, and Syl gave a shrug at her comment. "If you say so," she replied with a small smile. [Observation Lounge – Deck 11] Hunt took another sip of his orange juice as Crewmen Bremmer approached. As she greeted them, Jonathan slightly nodded as a form of greeting and acknowledgment. “ Crewmen, pleasure seeing you here this lovely morning” Hunt responded. The Doctor did not mind formalities too much and he felt it was important that no one had any fear to talk to him. He was first a doctor and the rank was a mere formality. “ Y’know these types of team building and relationship building activities remind me of the Academy” Hunt added. As it was common for them to work together in simulations because teamwork was paramount in Starfleet. His attention then turned to the Ensign which gave him a quick response about her well-being. Her response was understandable. The Doctor thought it was wise not to ask any follow-up questions. As she mentioned the Andorian and giving information about Kova. He was a little confused as he observed multiple Andorians on the deck and he had not seen that many of them in one location since his days at the Academy. “ I’ll keep that in mind, Ensign” Hunt responded as he got information and since he was a relative outsider it would be understandable that people did not want to talk to him too much. As the XO spoke Hunt placed the remainder of his Orange Juice on the table. He listened to the instruction and the basic set of rules. As tempting as the price of winning is, the objective is to improve relations, and as long as that was accomplished it would be mission accomplished and objectives done. He listened to the rules and figured that he would be in Team A. Along with Crewmen Bremmer, Jurgha the Klingon woman that was part of his last mission but had not formally met her, and lastly another person named Candy Barr who he had no idea who she was. Before they broke up, Hunt turned to the Ensign and told her “ Good Luck, Ensign” Hunt said and he began to walk away from the table. In a moment of self-reflection, Hunt turned to Crewmen Bremmer. “ Crewmen, Ummm, I don’t know how to say this but I barely know these individuals. Please let me know If I am doing a mistake. But I look forward working with you.” Hunt added. He was not sure as the insecurity of being out of place. Hunt then raised his hand and said “ Team A”. He took the initiative of moving to an empty area in the room away from individuals as a place in which they can meet up. It was standard in group projects in which they meet and greet people to break down and meet with the group. He waited until the group would eventually show up and Hunt would say “ Welcome Team A, my name is Doctor Jonathan Hunt. Jonathan is fine. A little of what I do, I am a Medical Officer in Starfleet. And um…I look forward to working with all of you and getting to know all of you better.” He finished as he hopes someone else introduced themselves. He hope that he sounded diplomatically. [ Jurgha, daughter of Khar - Observation Lounge] Jurgha listened as the new Starfleet Commander announced the rules of the game and gave out team assignments. She had no idea who this “Candy Barr” was (was that even a real name?), but the other two humans were familiar. Eliska Bremmer she had met on tour of Kerelia a couple months ago, and more recently during the mission on Torus. Jonathan Hunt, she recalled, had been there as well. The heist had been a success in the end, so she found the idea of teaming up with both of them to be tolerable enough. She crossed the room to where Hunt was waving them over. “Jurgha,” she replied simply to the medical officer’s introduction. “…Security consultant.”[Hot Candy - Observation Lounge, Deck 11]Late

The prizes for winning were outstanding, and she'd hate being disqualified because she never showed... "Eliska, Security," she said by means of introductions. Of course the others might recognize her... "Doc, just do us all a favour, and unlike last time we worked together please keep your pants on."

But, there was a way to fix that, something that needed fixing even before dealing with that PADD And, well, there really were no nice ways to do this... "CANDY BARR! Is there a Candy Barr here?" Then, she had a thought... there were always those who bucked authority, and civvies, well, were notorious for that, so there was always a way to appeal to them. "Candy Barr, whoever you are, if you didn't hear, if you're not with your assigned team, they can't win! And that means you can't either!"Civilians. Wouldn't know how to work together to save their lives...

[Observation Lounge, Deck 11, Front Ear Station] He’d arrived just in time to hear the team assignments, which actually rather felt like he was probably late. Again. Not that that was surprising, really, his mother always said he’d be late to his own funeral — and knowing her, that would actually turn out to be true. It was a quirky trait when he was younger, scrambling into scheduled shuttles and transports, but the Academy hadn’t been kind about it, and it hadn’t been easy at Front Ear either. For all his enthusiasm, old habits, as they said, died hard, no matter how he tried to improve. Feeling more than a little sheepish about entrance, even if he was very quiet about it, Ic had quieted even more when he realized “Team B” included not only his own name but one very painfully attractive (part?) Andorian in brilliant teal. Of course he would be on the same team as the new Assistant Chief he’d been avoiding since he’d first seen him on duty. Of course, Lieutenant Shavan Th’zhaar would say something as agonizingly charming as good morning.“Good morning, sir.” He pressed his lips tightly together to control the spread of his smile, keeping it as neutral and professional as he possibly could. There was another Andorian on this team, too, which put Ic, as usual, at a disadvantaged minority he had grown accustomed to working with. He greeted the other with a nod. She was pretty, like most Andorians, but fortunately, not his Type. “It’s nice to meet you, Kova.” He didn't bother to introduce himself; having done so in the past had taught him that others on the station didn't really appreciate it. When a probably-human woman approached them then, Ic tensed, on his guard. Though he’d never turn anyone away who volunteered themselves to talk to him (he did not have the luxury of turning down a potential friend, and doubted he ever would), he noticed her attempted familiarity with the Lieutenant. His gaze flickered between the woman and the ground. He didn’t think she was supposed to be on their team, but he didn’t have the luxury of authority, either. That would be up to the Lieutenant to mention. “I don’t think I caught your name, Miss—? Oh.” His attention diverged when Commander Ellis arrived with a PADD. Frowning at the clue, Ic glanced up between Kova and Shavan. “Is that the mechanic?”

[Observation Lounge - Deck 11] When the woman she recognised as Ensign McConnell answered her with a shrug and a small smile. Leanna gave another warm smile, feeling the anticipation build at the prospect of whatever Flick had in store for them. However before Lea could say anything, they were joined by a Cardassian woman who introduced herself as Eta. Lea had heard z " the name before, but this was the first time she had met her properly. " Hi Eta, I'm Leanna" she replied as the other groups began to form and she spotted Ic amongst them, which made her smile, along with Candy who was fashionably late. When Flick then started to give out their instructions via Padds, Lea grinned as they were handed theirs. Upon seeing the clue, the Betazoid knew exactly where they needed to go. The memory of it being a place she knew well and where she met Riyo, made it seem special in a way. " It's the spotty alibi" she said quietly, before the countdown began.

[Observation Lounge – Deck 11] Hunt gave his full attention to the Klingon as she introduced herself. “ Pleasure having you with us Jurgha, I’m sure your experience as a security consultant would be a great help to us as a team.” Hunt said, and he nodded with a diplomatic smile. He then turned his attention. He then gave his attention to the crewmen Bremmer. As she gave her quick introduction, Hunt bowed and said, “ Thank, I am sure you know the layout of the station much better than myself,” He said in a diplomatic tone. When he made her joke about keeping his pants on for this mission, Hunt chuckled as he took the hit and the joke in stride. “ Very Funny, I will try my best, Scout's Honor,” He said as he took the joke in stride. He did count and noticed that they were missing one person. Candy Barr He thought for a second. As it was obvious since they only were a four-person team. Each of them should provide a different skill that, when combined, it could lead them to finish the missions. He was curious who this person is and her particular skillset that she would be able to bring into the team. Before he could ask the team if anyone knew who this individual named Candy Barr, Eliska handed him a PADD. As Eliska yelled for the name Hunt turned to the Klingon and inquired “ Do you know, who is this Mrs., excuse me Ms. Barr?” Hunt did not know who she was but maybe their Klingon partner knew about her. “ In the meantime, I am going to read the clue out loud” Hunt said as he turned on the PADD. He read it “ A colourful fish You could shoot it In this Irishman’s barrel.” Hunt read as he offered the PADD to Jurgha in case she wanted to read the clue herself. “I apologize but I recently moved here so I might not know all the locations as well and you do". He then offered his first insight. “ Sounds like our next clue would be in an aquarium, or an Irish fish restaurant or Ba maybe stretching it a shooting range that is named after fish?” Hunt placed his hand under his chin. " The spelling Colourful could also be a clue". “ Thoughts?” He asked to the rest of his team. He also tried to keep an eye out for their teammate to see if there was an intervention.

[Ens. Syl O'Connell - Front Ear - Observation Lounge]As the others introduced themselves, Syl didn't feel to do the same, considering there were only the three of them on the team. "And, once again, everyone here knows my name." At least this time, it wasn't because of a scandal in her personal life that almost destroyed her career before it started... So that was something. The Commander came over and offered them a padd, which Leanna took and read. Syl recognized the type of smile that lit up the Betazoid's face, and had a feeling there was a story behind where they were going. Leanna confirmed the location of the clue, and Felicity started the countdown. "Lead the way," she told Leanna, taking a step back to clear the path towards the door. Since the Betazoid knew where they were going, it made sense to follow her.

[Eta Borir - Lounge] The Cardassian nodded once with a grin, relieved that the Betazoid was not prejudiced. Could Eta actually meet anyone whose species had not yet had unpleasant experiences with Cardassians? "Nice to meet you Leanna," she said, and turned to Syl, who complained that everyone here knew her name. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself again for the statistics?" she said wryly, but knew that irony didn't suit Cardassians. With a gesture, she pointed in front of her. "I'll get in line behind you".

Meanwhile, there was no still sign of the fourth member of their team. “No idea,” she grudgingly admitted when asked if she knew who Candy Barr was. Scowing, she looked around the room. Jurgha would have forcibly gone after their missing teammate as well, but Eliska appeared to have that covered. So she took the PADD, turning the nonsensical riddle over and over in her mind. And came up with… nothing. “Gah! None of that makes any sense!” None of Jonathan's rambling guesses sounded likely either. What was any of that supposed to mean!? Then, suddenly, the answer struck her. It was, after all, the very first place she had visited on Front Ear. “The Blue Beta!” The Klingon didn’t know exactly what an Irishman was, but they had been waited on by a human man. “It must be. It's one of the bars on the Promenade. We have to talk to the bartender.”Jonathan Hunt Eliska Bremmer

{Quoted Posts} [Eta Borir - Lounge, Deck 11] Wait a minute ... what? Eta tipped her Sunrise completely into her mouth while Kova spoke, then focused her pupils back on the Andorian and realized that it wasn't the Andorian who needed nerves, but Eta herself. But Cardassians got into awkward situations and got out of them. At least, most of them did. Eta nodded once and then used all her non-existent charm. "I thank you for this conversation. I am sure we will have the opportunity to talk again sometime.". Whether she was serious or not, she didn't know. But she wasn't going to be shaken off as easily as a few fruit flies in the fruit bowl.
[Lt Shavan Th’zhaar - Observation Lounge] Shavan had already started to walk towards Kova when everyone paused to listen to Commander Ellis speak. He hadn’t expected the other Andorian to be there, though she was a welcome sight. Personal relationship aside, she was someone he'd rather have on his team than against in any situation. Since Ensign Abrell was in his department, Shavan knew he should try to get to know him as well. This seemed like a good enough place to start, so really he could not object to either teammate. He fell into place beside Kova with grin. “Thanks,” he replied to her congratulations, taking another sip of coffee before they were joined by the third member of their team. “Good morning, Ensign,” he greeted the Betazoid politely, with a friendly smile. [Hot Candy - Observation Lounge, Deck 11]Late
Candy's mother always said that royalty is never late; everyone else is just early. Besides, the hour was uncivilised, her shift the night previous had been lengthy, and it took work to look this good. Ninety minutes of work, to be exact. And, bonus, the young entrepreneur thought as she slipped into the Lounge, she'd missed all of the boring talking. It seemed that everyone was already splitting into teams, so Candy paused for a moment, gaze weighing, judging, flitting from group to group. She made her decision, and approached the aquamarine Andorian. A beautiful colour; he would match her eyes. "Well good mornin'!" She greeted brightly, all smiles and sparkling eyes as she stood next to Shavan. "And it just keeps getting finer. I'll be joining y'all! Pleasure to make your acquaintance." She liked this team's chances the best. Candy was in it to win it, like everything else in her life, and she would do anything to secure that upgrade. One year of bunking with that ornery Flaisl was quite enough, thank you muchly. *** [Felicity Ellis - Observation Lounge, Deck 11][...] Next, Team B. Again, she held out a PADD containing everything the team would need to get through the day, and studied each of them in turn. The new Science Officer with the new Assistant Chief, hopefully a beneficial match. She did nothing but arch a brow at the sight of the young, bright-eyed blonde sidling up to what would appear to be her own personal pick of the bunch. Without a word, she backed away. The "instructions" on B's PADD would read: [ Cwm Eliska Bremmer - Observation Lounge, Deck 11, Front Ear Station ][...] But, there was a way to fix that, something that needed fixing even before dealing with that PADD And, well, there really were no nice ways to do this... "CANDY BARR! Is there a Candy Barr here?" Then, she had a thought... there were always those who bucked authority, and civvies, well, were notorious for that, so there was always a way to appeal to them. "Candy Barr, whoever you are, if you didn't hear, if you're not with your assigned team, they can't win! And that means you can't either!"Civilians. Wouldn't know how to work together to save their lives... [Observation Lounge, Deck 11, Front Ear Station] “Good morning, sir.” He pressed his lips tightly together to control the spread of his smile, keeping it as neutral and professional as he possibly could. There was another Andorian on this team, too, which put Ic, as usual, at a disadvantaged minority he had grown accustomed to working with. He greeted the other with a nod. She was pretty, like most Andorians, but fortunately, not his Type. “It’s nice to meet you, Kova.” He didn't bother to introduce himself; having done so in the past had taught him that others on the station didn't really appreciate it. When a probably-human woman approached them then, Ic tensed, on his guard. Though he’d never turn anyone away who volunteered themselves to talk to him (he did not have the luxury of turning down a potential friend, and doubted he ever would), he noticed her attempted familiarity with the Lieutenant. His gaze flickered between the woman and the ground. He didn’t think she was supposed to be on their team, but he didn’t have the luxury of authority, either. That would be up to the Lieutenant to mention. “I don’t think I caught your name, Miss—? Oh.” His attention diverged when Commander Ellis arrived with a PADD. Frowning at the clue, Ic glanced up between Kova and Shavan. “Is that the mechanic?”[ Kova Sh'qaleq - Observation Lounge, Deck 11] The Cardassian was hardly an afterthought as Shavan approached. The Orion-Andorian hybrid thanked her for her congratulations, but his smile hadn't gone unnoticed. Kova nearly felt her own lips curl to match his. Though, they were quickly joined by the third member of their trio, and it seemed that Shavan was in fact familiar with Ensign Arbrell. In fact, the ensign practically lit up at Shavan's greeting, but was still polite in saying that it was nice to meet Kova. "We'll see how long that lasts," Kova said. Her antennae seemed to flex as she sensed someone moving towards them. As the Andorian turned, her eyes fell upon a young blonde that had apparently decided to assert herself into their trio. At first, Kova believed that the woman had approached as some sort of espionage to give her team an advantage. Yet, as she spoke, it became obvious what had lured her over here. Both Kova and Ic were barely afterthoughts as the woman's eyes settled almost instantly on Shavan. "Oh, I bet it is," Kova remarked as she mentioned something about her day getting finer. Kova rolled her eyes. Who did this woman think she was, just inserting herself whever she liked. Kova's head turned once more as Commander Ellis approached. Surely, the commander would object to such an intrusion. Yet, she said absolutely nothing after she handed the PADD to Shavan. Kova watched as she backed away. The Andorian was about to speak, but fell silent as her mind began to revisit the rules. No sooner had the strategy began to form that she heard Eliska calling out for Candy Barr. Kova's eyes fell on the blonde, as there was clearly no mystery about whom they were looking for. Kova turned her attention immediately to clue in Shavan's hand, already sensing a tactical advantage. "You're more than welcome to join us," Kova said to the blonde. Kova didn't know if the others would agree to such a strategy, but for what reason would they not? Sportsmanship? Surely not. That was a human flaw that not even Vulcans suffered from. After reading the clue, Kova knew instantly where they needed to go and whom they needed to speak to. As Ic spoke up, asking about the mechanic, Kova's brow furrowed with confusion. "You mean, Avi? Hell no." Kova shook her head and turned to Shavan. "We need to get to the Twilight Casino now! There's a Bolian waiter there. He's the one we need to speak to. Trust me." Kova had already started to take a few steps, and turned back to the others, motioning for the others to quickly follow.

[Observation Lounge, Deck 11 - - - -> Lower Promenade] Leanna certainly appreciated the Ensign's comment, when she said that everyone already knew her name. Although it appeared that Eta wasn't satisfied with Syl's answer after she had spoken to Lea and asked her to repeat it. This was going to be interesting but at least they were all in agreement about getting to their destination. " Okay then, let's go" she replied as she led the way out of the Observation Lounge and into a waiting lift. There was that rush of adrenaline again as Lea called out their destination and she turned to her companions as the lift doors closed. " Now we just have to decide on a team name" she said thoughtfully, knowing that it would help with the treasure hunt that they had been sent on.

[Ens. Syl O'Connell - Front Ear - Observation Lounge]Syl followed Leanna out of the observation lounge, with Eta along with her. The doors slid shut behind them, and a small grin played across her lips. "First ones out the door. Hopefully that counts for something." She wasn't sure what was taking the other teams so long to get moving, and she certainly wasn't going to complain about it. The turbolift on its way, she chuckled dryly as the Betazoid mentioned naming their team. "Don't look at me. I'm horrible at coming up with names." She'd spent the last month trying to come up with a new last name for herself and had yet to think of anything, after all.

[Hot Candy - Observation Lounge]"Oh you call me Candy, honey," she said to the Betazoid, using the term of endearment despite that fact that the young male was likely older than her. "Ain't you just as cute as a bug's ear!?" The smile upped its wattage and did not falter, not even when the Andorian seemed to give her permission for Candy to join them. "How kind."Some people needed to act like they had a say in things, she supposed. This lady, lovely as she might be, really had no say in whether Candy stayed or left, but there was no point in going and declaring that now, was there? You catch more flies with honey, after all. Being a helpful team member, Candy repositioned herself closer to Kova in order to get a better look at the clue. "Well, she's right! 'Lay your latinum down', well that means place a bet, and 'Along with the sun', put the sun down, well when the sun is down, that's twilight, right?" She blinked big, bright eyes at the others, beseeching their agreeance, like she needed it. "I must say, I've never met this Bolian waiter, but -"Someone screaming her name startled her. Candy's hand raised to her neckline, her face a picture of ladylike shock. "Oh my stars..."

But she also wanted her own room. She sighed dramatically and turned back to the others. "I guess this means war." The innocence evaporated as she began to separate herself from her new enemies. Though just because they were enemies, didn't mean she couldn't ask that aquamarine one out for aquamarine drinks later. Candy turned, patted down a fly-away strand of hair and approached the uncouth dregs. "Ugh. Could you quit your hollerin'? I'm here. Were you raised in a barn?" She could almost see the prize slipping away from her.

[Lt Shavan Th’zhaar - Observation Lounge] Shavan's smile widened as they were joined by a pretty blonde human and the very cute Betazoid Ensign. The morning just kept getting finer, indeed. Maybe the human was trying to improve her chances of winning by playing for two teams. However, if she stayed with them the whole time, Team A would be disqualified… as Kova seemed to be thinking. Regrettably, both her assigned teammates, and Candy herself, soon caught on to this as well. “If you change your mind, feel free to find me again any time,” he said as she departed. With Team C already gone, they probably shouldn’t stay around to argue about it. Shavan agreed that the first two lines obviously pointed to the Twilight Casino. And fortunately, it seemed that Kova knew who the Bolian was. “The Twilight it is, then. Let’s go.” He quickly followed Kova out the door. Felicity Ellis Kova Sh'qaleq Ic Arbrell

[Observation Lounge – Deck 11] Hunt gave his full attention to the Klingon as she introduced herself. “ Pleasure having you with us Jurgha, I’m sure your experience as a security consultant would be a great help to us as a team.” Hunt said, and he nodded with a diplomatic smile. He then turned his attention. He then gave his attention to the crewmen Bremmer. As she gave her quick introduction, Hunt bowed and said, “ Thank, I am sure you know the layout of the station much better than myself,” He said in a diplomatic tone. When he made her joke about keeping his pants on for this mission, Hunt chuckled as he took the hit and the joke in stride. “ Very Funny, I will try my best, Scout's Honor,” He said as he took the joke in stride. He did count and noticed that they were missing one person. Candy Barr He thought for a second. As it was obvious since they only were a four-person team. Each of them should provide a different skill that, when combined, it could lead them to finish the missions. He was curious who this person is and her particular skillset that she would be able to bring into the team. Before he could ask the team if anyone knew who this individual named Candy Barr, Eliska handed him a PADD. As Eliska yelled for the name Hunt turned to the Klingon and inquired “ Do you know, who is this Mrs., excuse me Ms. Barr?” Hunt did not know who she was but maybe their Klingon partner knew about her. “ In the meantime, I am going to read the clue out loud” Hunt said as he turned on the PADD. He read it “ A colourful fish You could shoot it In this Irishman’s barrel.” Hunt read as he offered the PADD to Jurgha in case she wanted to read the clue herself. “I apologize but I recently moved here so I might not know all the locations as well and you do". He then offered his first insight. “ Sounds like our next clue would be in an aquarium, or an Irish fish restaurant or Ba maybe stretching it a shooting range that is named after fish?” Hunt placed his hand under his chin. " The spelling Colourful could also be a clue". “ Thoughts?” He asked to the rest of his team. He also tried to keep an eye out for their teammate to see if there was an intervention. [ Jurgha, daughter of Khar - Observation Lounge] Jurgha nodded briefly to Eliska, then listened as Hunt read aloud from the PADD that was given to them. Meanwhile, there was no still sign of the fourth member of their team. “No idea,” she grudgingly admitted when asked if she knew who Candy Barr was. Scowing, she looked around the room. Jurgha would have forcibly gone after their missing teammate as well, but Eliska appeared to have that covered. So she took the PADD, turning the nonsensical riddle over and over in her mind. And came up with… nothing. “Gah! None of that makes any sense!” None of Jonathan's rambling guesses sounded likely either. What was any of that supposed to mean!? Then, suddenly, the answer struck her. It was, after all, the very first place she had visited on Front Ear. “The Blue Beta!” The Klingon didn’t know exactly what an Irishman was, but they had been waited on by a human man. “It must be. It's one of the bars on the Promenade. We have to talk to the bartender.”[Hot Candy - Observation Lounge]... "Do I have to? She's just, well she's just awful."She'd picked her team - the best team, and she wanted to stay with them. But she also wanted her own room. She sighed dramatically and turned back to the others. "I guess this means war." The innocence evaporated as she began to separate herself from her new enemies. Though just because they were enemies, didn't mean she couldn't ask that aquamarine one out for aquamarine drinks later. Candy turned, patted down a fly-away strand of hair and approached the uncouth dregs. "Ugh. Could you quit your hollerin'? I'm here. Were you raised in a barn?" She could almost see the prize slipping away from her. [ Cwm Eliska Bremmer - Observation Lounge, Deck 11, Front Ear Station ]Oh that's just great, Bremmer found herself thinking when it turned out that the airhead who'd shown up late was their wayward team member, and she seemed less than pleased about not getting her choice of team assignments. However, the comment about being raised in a barn drew a half-snarl from Eliska. It wasn't the first time she'd heard that, and it wasn't any funnier the thousandth time as it had been the first. Granted, that little blonde trollop had no way to know about her rural upbringing, but that didn't make it any more pleasant. However, she could not suppress her answer. "And what if I was?" she asked, her voice like honey laced with arsenic. However, while that was getting sorted out, it would appear that between the Klingon and the Doctor, they had solved the first riddle which she'd not even seen, and at this point she was more than willing to go along with them. "Blue Beta? All right, let's get going."And indeed, as Hunt had surmised, she knew the station inside and out, including a few shortcuts that didn't quite show on schematics and were not entirely open to through traffic, but anything to get them moving would do, and so she started at a swift pace, her legs accustomed to her homeworld's higher gravity only itching to eat the distance... but most certainly not doing so in deference to those who would not be inclined to keep up with her.

[Observation Lounge – Deck 11] Hunt listened to the Klingon as she proposed the Blue Beta. Her guess seemed more likely to be true than himself. “ It appears we might have a destination. However, I don’t know where exactly it is. Do you mind leading the way?” Hunt looks honestly as he hopes that the people around them knew about the locations of the Stations more than himself. If this were all about locations and finding them, it would be a long day for him. It was not long after that Eliska’s yelling went into fruition as she found their missing team member. It was not soon after a younger human female that appeared to be complaining about Eliska’s yelling responded. It appeared that they found their last team member. It was curious that she either did not hear him raise his hand for Team A, or she wants to be on their team. Such occurrences are common in team-building exercises, and those issues are ones that the team needs to overcome. As the initial interaction between them seemed more hostile than necessary, he approached the last team member, and Hunt tried to greet her. “ Ms. Candy Barr, I presume?” Hunt asked. They needed to be sure that they were their teammate and not a trick from another team or a distraction or a red herring from the games. “ Let me take a second and introduce ourselves, the Klingon over there is Jurgha, and she is a security consultant. You already had the honor of metering Crewman Eliska Bremmer, she works for Starfleet Security, and I am Doctor Jonathan Hunt, Starfleet Medical. You can call me Jonathan.” Hunt tried to be diplomatic with her. He then extended his hand. “ I would love it if you can join us. I am positive you were sent on this team for a reason. We think we already have the first clue, but I am sure you can help on the other. Please join us” Hunt then extended his hand towards Candy, hoping that we would take it. “ We will need to move quickly and come up with a team name, We don't want to be too far behind” Hunt mentioned. Maybe by having a team name, they can begin working together. Hard Shavan Th'zhaar Eliska Bremmer Felicity Ellis
