Approx. one month after the events of S2M2 & S2E2Captain's log
One of the goals Captain Ellis and I had when we came here, a year ago, was to clean up the station. Streamline operations, repair infrastructure, root out corruption and crime. Progress hasn't always been easy, but we've made great strides, and now stand positioned to make another one.
A number of concurrent investigations have made us aware of a smuggling ring operating out of the station. Their business: running weapons out of the backwaters of the Klingon Empire, to various non-state actors in the region. On their way back, they bring a plethora of different wares. Much of their payload is illegal, and none of it has the proper papers.
We will be working with a team from the Klingon department of Customs enforcement, mounting a sting operation that should bring these smugglers down. In the process, we hope to have more ammunition to use in the prosecution of Fatax, who has insisted for almost a year now on staying in our brig, as well as in rooting out other criminals.
As I go into this operation, I find myself missing Matt Harmon more than usual, wishing I had his input. This kind of work was always his strong suit.
[NPC - Captain Klopar, daughter of Krak - Blue Beta Bar & Grill]Klopar walked into the Blue Beta Bar & Grill, at the head of her small team of Klingons. Customs enforcement was not a very glorious field, but they were honorable warriors, always eager for a drink. To Klopar, there was no other way to settle in. "We will have a case of your finest bloodwine," she thundered, to the bartender and her subordinates. Surely, Captain Eastman would not mind if they showed up late to the meet with her.
[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams) - Commanding Officer's Office, Front Ear Station]Judy had assembled a team in her office to meet with, and work with, the Klingons. She wasn't able to get some of her "superstars" - so to speak - but she felt confident that the group could operate covertly reasonably well. The only problem was, the Klingons were now 15 minutes late, and they were sitting here, finishing up the pizza she'd made as lunch. Judy glanced at her watch, and then at her people.

[ Seamus - Blue Beta] With it being Lea's day off and with there only being so much that he could still tease her about over winning Galaxyvision. The Irishman was definitely in high spirits as a small group of Klingons entered the bar. Rumour was of course rife as to why they were on the station but for Seamus, it was just rumour and speculation but that didn't mean, he was completely oblivious and always listened. Mainly out of habit and instinct especially when you lived on the station. However as they approached and ordered a case of their finest blood wine. Seamus smiled brightly as he answered the one who had placed the order. " Certainly and we also have fresh gagh, should you get hungry".
**************
[ LeannaQuarters - Civilian Decks] It had been four weeks since her and the band had won Galaxyvision and whilst it had been one hell of a roller-coaster ever since. The Betazoid was enjoying every minute of it, especially since it had finally sunk in and she realised that she deserved too. That was partly down to Riyo and his continued support, not to mention the fun she was having with the photo shoots and interviews. Although she had remained grounded and their win had certainly boosted the bar's popularity. Which wasn't a bad thing and whilst there was still the odd photoshoot left to do. Lea was looking forward to recording the band's album, another perk that came with winning. Her quarters still resembled a flower shop but she didn't mind all of that as she got to share it all with her Imzadi. Also with it being her day off, it was all about the two of them and she intended to make every minute count. Doing just normal things, starting with lunch at the Blue Beta and then whatever they wanted to do. Not that they had to rush back either, since Jeffy had taken the children on vacation with him. As much as she missed them, she wasn't exactly going to say no to her Uncle taking them to his vacation home on Argellia Six. " So Imzadi, I suppose we should think about getting ready or we can stay here a little longer?" she teased as she looked over at Riyo, as they sat on the sofa.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Leanna's Quarters]Riyo had also been rather enjoying the past several weeks, though for entirely different reasons. After everything Leanna had been through, she more than deserved this realization of her dream. He had been dragged along to one of the photoshoots and accompanying interview for an article detailing those closest to the winners, but he'd only agreed to it for her. This was Lea's spotlight, and he was happiest sitting back and watching her shine. Well, that wasn't entirely true. Riyo was the most happy in moments like this, when it was just the two of them relaxing and enjoying themselves. He held a drink in one hand, his other arm wrapped around her as they sat on her sofa. Hearing her question, and knowing by the way she phrased it which option she preferred, he held up his glass and tilted it slightly to judge how much of the liquid was left in it. "I think I can make this last a few more minutes..." he replied playfully, before turning his head and lightly kissing her cheek.

But first, it had been a long journey, and refreshments were in order.

She'd had pizza before, but the CO's was particularly delicious. The security officer was getting spoiled with all of the real food they had access to on the station between the promenade and the captain feeding them at every turn. She'd never known what she was missing before being posted on the station. With Commander Aune off the station, Ryah was heading up some of the investigations into the smuggling ring that had brought them here. She really hadn't liked learning that there were weapons being smuggled through the station - rodents were bad enough. And now the Klingons they were supposed to be meeting with were late. Ryah hadn't worked with Klingons much before, but she hadn't remembered punctuality being an issue before. She said mildly, ' I could ask security to track them down. Maybe they got the time wrong? She shrugged slightly, willing to give the benefit of the doubt for the moment. ---------- Tag Judith Eastman |

[NPC - PO1 S'Riia - CO's Office, Front Ear Station ]  This was... awkward. That was all the half-Caitian could think of as they sat there waiting. Of course, given whom they were waiting on, made it even moreso. S'Riia's eyes shifted between two of her superiors: Captain Eastman and Chief Melihn. S'Riia's tail curled around the leg of her chair as she sat there. As Ryah made the suggestion of having security track them down, S'Riia almost found herself volunteering, simply to have something to do. "It shouldn't be too difficult to locate them, Captain," S'Riia said. One could say that Klingons always managed to stand out in a crowd, but the truth of the matter was that there weren't many of them aboard the station to begin with. The reason for their gathering was unnerving in its own rights. It had been a struggle to clean up the station as much as they had over the past year. However, to learn that weapons had been smuggled through their station as something else entirely. The meeting had been set with the hopes that the Klingons would be contributing to a solution, not prolonging the problem.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams) - Commanding Officer's Office]Judy took another slice of cheese pizza, and was gently relishing her legendary six-cheese blend as the security personnel spoke. "Yes, let's search for them," she agreed. Normally, she'd just use the internal sensors, but this team likely hadn't even checked into that system properly. "What's your guess, casino or bar?"There was only a handful of places a group of Klingons was likely to stray off too, and all of them involved booze. Judy just hoped they hadn't set up shop at the Spotty Alibi.

[Brooke - Frontier Bakery & Cafe]
Sequestered in one of the corner booths was one Brooke Ellis, who rather than hide away in her office, had decided to take advantage of this particular spot , before it got busy. Besides it allowed her to be within easy reach, should any of her staff needed her, whilst being kept suitably fed and watered. That was definitely one advantage of being the boss and being four months pregnant. Her body might still be getting used to the tiny life growing inside of her, but luckily she had now gotten past the horrible morning sickness phase.
That hadn't been fun at all but fortunately for Brooke, she had a great support network, particularly her husband Greg who had fussed over her and made sure that she was well looked after. The thought of the handsome security boss always made her smile and today wasn't any different as she picked up the somogram picture. A souvenir of her recent antenatal appointment prior to her coming to work.
Staring at it for a few moments, it served as a reminder of the good in her life, as well thoughts of her past and her desire to find out more about her origins. Although her journey to hopefully find answers had only just begun after having no real desire to do anything until now. Brooke knew that she wasn't doing this alone. Setting the photo aside for the time being, the cafe owner reached for the teapot and poured a fresh cup of English tea, taking a break from the research on the table. Then she gave into her newly discovered cravings by taking a bite of chocolate caramel cheesecake.

"A warrior's food should be eaten alive."Her comments, though nominally the usual bluster of a warrior, were also implicit cooking instructions.

[NPC - Max Williams - Kitchen, Blue Beta]From the kitchen, Max could overhear the Klingons' bluster, and resisted the urge to hold his nose. He'd served many Klingons before, but it was still far from his favorite cuisine to prepare. Still, the job was the job, and in this case, it would hopefully smooth over his wife's work. Although... weren't they supposed to be with her right now?

[ Seamus - Blue Beta] From the reactions he had gotten at the mention of fresh gagh, Seamus knew it was one way to hopefully keep them from getting too rowdy. Then again this wasn't his first time dealing with Klingons and experience had taught him to keep them happy with copious amounts of blood wine and home cuisine. It was also a good thing that they kept a supply of gagh courtesy of Take Me Gagh. " Oh I can assure it's fresh, in fact the delivery came in this morning and we like to take care of our customers" He replied cheerfully as he handed over the blood wine, before sending the order through to the kitchen. " We'll have it brought over to you, if you'd like to go to one of the tables or booths".

[ Jurgha, daughter of Khar - Blue Beta] “Excellent!” Like Klopar, Jurgha was cheered to see that proper food and hospitality could be found on this station. When the waiter returned with the cask of bloodwine, she wasted no time in pouring herself a hearty amount. Looking towards Klopar and the rest of their companions, she raised her cup in a gesture of celebration. Jurgha then sat at the nearest table as invited, immediately putting her feet up on it and crossing her legs. She took a gulp of bloodwine, and was not disappointed. “A warrior’s meal indeed!” she shouted approvingly. Judith Eastman Leanna Mazal |

Tag Jovireh Velal At her reply, he lifted an eyebrow and turned to look at her, about to tease her about not having that much time. But as she finished her thought he laughed and shook his head, taking another small sip from his glass. "That does sound pretty good," he replied thoughtfully. Though he was also considering seeing how the team had perfected the Bajoran recipes he'd given them awhile back. Their first couple attempts had been wonderful, so he was curious to see what they might have experimented with over the last couple months. "Don't want to eat too much though. Food comas take all the fun out of days off." Of course, taking a nap together was always nice in its own way, but they had plans.

[Leanna's Quarters - Civilian Decks] When her carefully chosen words got the response that she had been hoping for. Lea knew that he wanted to counteract her playfulness by teasing her until he laughed at how she had deliberately finished her thought. As tempting as it had been to continue teasing him and having it lead to what it usually did. Leanna was looking forward to lunch and to their plans for the day. So as Riyo answered her by agreeing with her food choices before sneaking in some teasing with his not eating too much and food coma comments. " That's very true and we wouldn't want that to happen do we?" she replied in agreement, even if she did add a sprinkle of teasing to it.
