I hate Funerals, even when they are a distant relative. My husband's brother's ex-wife's brother's wife. I think. Only met her a handful of times. But they remind me of too much!
So what did I miss? Hmm not too much it seems. I like the pic of the Doctor; let's see if Yanamari likes it.

Subject: Good stuff
On both Lum and Rhyson. Is it Rhyson or Rhsyon? You have it both ways. I think Rhyson as that sounds pronounceable.
Now where did that Ninja guy go? You can hide but we will find you Tann.

Subject: Demotion
At least a demotion. Sort of a Captain's mass situation I guess. I wouldn't think it is a court marshal or even transfer. It could be handled properly without a lot of fall out for Crane.
Of course, all of that is up to the Captain.
Cook would be disappointed in Crane if she knew the circumstances, but I think most people that knew her would probably get over it. Whether Crane did is another story.
We will see. An interesting scenario to say the least.
Thanks Brom.

I figured as much, Cook was thinking of just stopping by to make sure she was alright. I didn't think she would tell what she did. Not knowing why she is confined she is just worried about her.
It was just a thought. Not trying to derail your scenario.

We have them in crew quarters? Didn't know that.
So no guards then she could have visitors then.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.
As for Crane, I have a question, if she is confined to quarters, does anyone bring her food? Is anyone watching her? Is she allowed visitors? I mean she isn't in the brig, yet.

I see she did now. My mistake. I thought she was just 'distracted' by the handsome XO.

Understandable. A harsh judgement by the Captain is expected especially after the aggravation her actions cause the ship and Captain.
Hmm strange that Asovil didn't bring it up when she seen the Captain or even the XO in all that chatting. Seems she a bit distracted.

I'm already working on my first post. Would be good if I knew a little something about the other players besides Lum. Anyone else got anything they want to share? Tann, Nomad, any details on your characters history you can share? Stuff that would have come out in the year that this group has been together?
Looking forward to RPing with you guys.

Darn! That's right. I remember now reading that, but I forgot when doing my posts. I will have to edit my post. Crane was the one that reported her superior to SB Security. Now I remember.
Hmm.. Ah , Brom? Just to be sure, how long are you confining Crane to her quarters? I assume it is more than just a few hours.
Let me know please so I can adjust my last couple of post accordingly. Thanks!

Ok, another post from Chief Cook. Just having some fun. I hope it is alright that I borrowed most of the CPOs from the ship. It is a Chief's game after all.
I hope it is a good post. I try to do my research when I post such things. I'm not much of a long poster, not like Brom or Eol for sure, but I tend to have decent length ones I think.
Anyway enjoy if you will.

Topic: Star Trek: the Edge of Duty
Subject: Poker Night
Stardate 2365.02.08
USS Peregrine - Deck 5 - Shuttle Bay 2 - Maintenance Locker 3 - 2105
CPO Dana Cook had managed to shower and grab a small meal in the Mess Hall before time for the Poker game. Everyone was seated and the chips were handed out and the cards being Shuffled. The game was Andorian Hold-em, and the object of the game was to be the one with all the money at the end of the night. There was no real money at stack; the same amount of chips, small rectangular bits of metal in the different colors of precious metals, was given to each player.
In Andorian Hold-em, two cards, known as the hole cards or hold cards, are dealt face down to each player, and then five community cards are dealt face up in three stages. The stages consist of a series of three cards ("the flop"), later an additional single card ("the turn" or "fourth street") and a final card ("the river" or "fifth street"). Each player seeks the best five card poker hand from the combination of the community cards and their own hole cards. If a player's best five card poker hand consists only of the five community cards and none of the player's hole cards, it is called "playing the board". Players have betting options to check, call, raise or fold. Rounds of betting take place before the flop is dealt, and after each subsequent deal.
Individuals compete for an amount of money or chips contributed by the players themselves (called the pot). Because the cards are dealt randomly and outside the control of the players, each player attempts to control the amount of money in the pot based either on the hand they are holding, or on their prediction as to what their opponents may be holding and how they might behave.
The game is divided into a series of hands (deals); at the conclusion of each hand, the pot is typically awarded to one player (an exception in which the pot is divided between two or more is discussed below). A hand may end at the showdown, in which case the remaining players compare their hands and the highest hand is awarded the pot; that highest hand is usually held by only one player, but can be held by more in the case of a tie. The other possibility for the conclusion of a hand occurs when all but one player have folded and have thereby abandoned any claim to the pot, in which case the pot is awarded to the player who has not folded.
The objective of winning players is not to win every individual hand, but rather to make mathematically and psychologically better decisions regarding when and how much to bet, raise, call—or fold. By making such decisions to place influential bets, one can non-verbally represent or suggest holding or not-holding a certain or possible hand by either betting or not-betting pre-flop, and by venturing smaller or larger bets or raises at possibly more advantageous times, throughout the stages of the hand being dealt. One's pattern of betting may encourage opponents to bet or to fold (in this complex process, called bluffing), without verbalizing a discouraging or dishonest word. The winning poker players know how to enhance their opponents' betting and maximize their own expected gain on each round of betting, to thereby increase their long-term winnings.
As the players settled in to play, Dana took up the cards first as the dealer. The others all finished stacking there chips and getting some drinks to sustain them during the game; Dana had, of course, a glass of real scotch before her.
"Ok," she lead off and began dealing the cards, "as usual progressive blinds, we don't want to be here all night do we?" The progressive blinds, Big and little, were so that each hand the Blinds, or ante, by the 1st and 2nd player to the dealer's left, made the betting for each hand progressively larger wins. This made it more interesting and a quicker game as the losing players tended to go 'all-in", betting al they had left, in an attempt to stay in the game. This allowed a potentially long game to only last 2-3 hours; a more manageable amount of time.
"Yes please," Kook, or SCPO Lukkonen replied, "I want to get all your money before I go on Gamma shift at 2300." The others laughed and cries of "you wish" and "not tonight" among others were traded back and forth.
The cards were dealt and the game was soon underway. Dana pulled out a cigar from he pocket and lit it up; clouds of smoke rose to be quickly be taken away by the ventilation system. At one point in the past, her cigars were frowned up and almost banned at the game, but due to her bickering MCPO Davis had seen too it that the ventilation system in their Poker Room (Maintenance Locker 3) had increase power to handle the smoke and make everyone happy.
The game went on with polite and not so polite banter for the next hour or so and CPO Tara Palmer was the first one to be taken out. Tara was a good player but a little too analytical sometimes. She also had a 'tell' where she would absently brush her hand through her hair when she was trying to bluff. Everyone knew this, but they weren't going to tell her. Dana won that hand and took all of her last remaining chips along with a sizeable chunk of Brooks money as well.
The cards were dealt out again and the game continued till almost 2300. Reg and Tara were out and sitting there drinking, talking and watching the standoff between CPO Lukkonen and CPO Cook. Their chips were about evenly matched with Cook perhaps having a slight advantage; The bets had been going back and forth, and with Kook needing to be on watch soon he was pressing the bets in an attempt to win the game before his shift began.
"Ok," Kook said and looked at the community cards after the river had been dealt, "Time to end this I think. I think we are pretty evenly matched Dana, so I'm All-In. You care to test your luck?" He grinned knowing that he had the winning hand. He was confident as he won more than anyone, Dana was the close 2nd but he just knew tonight was his night.
Dana looks at her cards and appeared to be sweating a little. She kept looking from her cards, to the Pot, and then to her chips. Finally with a sigh she nodded and said, "I'm all-in. What you got?"
MCPO Marti Lukkonen smiled as he laid out his hole cards.
(Hole cards): 8-C &10-C
(Community cards): 5-C, 10-C, J-H, J-C, A-Sp
This game him a Club Flush. Dana sighed and lowered her head dejectedly, then tossed her cards down.
(Hole cards): 10-H, J-Sp.
She had a Jacks over 10s Full house. Kook sagged in his chair for a minute and then chuckled as Dana grinned broadly. "Come to mama." She chortled as she racked in the pot containing all of the chips now.
They all laughed together for a few minutes and put away their gaming things as they talked for a couple minutes. MCPO Lukkonen, Kook, took off for Gamma shift promising that he would get revenge next week; Dana replied with a 'bring it on'. The game done, they soon broke and went back to their own duties, or bed, whatever be the case.
Dana had the morning Alpha watch so she headed to her personal quarters on Deck 3 to turn in for the night. She found PO2 Leah Finnley there reading on her PADD already in her usual sleeping attire.
"Hey Leah," Dana said as she stepped in.
"Hey Dana," Leah responded in her typical jovial manner, "How did you do tonight?"
"Cleaned them out," Dana said with a big grin, "Of course."
Leah chuckled as that wasn't always the case. She was glad that Dana had won, when she lost she was in a bad mood for a few days. Heaven help her Medical staff when that happened. Leah foresaw maybe a few quiet days in Sickbay this week.
"I'm turning in," Dana said as she headed to her own bedroom, "Have a good night Leah."
"You too Dana," Leah said, "I wont be long. Just finishing up this Chapter then I'm off too."
Dana nodded knowing how Leah loved these trashy Romance novels that she got from Earth; she had tried reading one once and found it to be boring and too fantastical of a tale. Real life didn't work the way it did in those novels, in her experience. Maybe that was the point, she thought as her bed chamber door closed behind her, to escape the real world with fantasy. To each their own she thought. She changed into her sleeping attire and then crashed on her bed. She had to be up early so she could grab a bite and then report for the Alpha shift at 0700.

Subject: Later that night
Stardate 2365.02.08
USS Peregrine - Holosuite 1 - Deck 5 - 1925
WHAM! The punch landed squarely on Chief Reginald Brooks jaw causing him to stagger back a step before recovering. His opponent paused and grinned at him for a second while he shook his head.
"You okay over there, Reg?" Chief PO Dana Cook said as she looked over her raised boxing gloves at him.
Chief Brooks shook his head again and then returned the grin, "That one hit the spot for sure!" He raised his gloves again and they went at it again.
They went back and forth for several minutes, with Brooks trying to return the favor by landing a solid blow but most were blocked or only glancing shots on the exceptional skill of Chief Cook. Brooks jabbed a couple of times and then tried for a right hook to only have Cook slipped under it and landed a solid blow to his midsection, "Oomph," which knocked the wind out of him.
"Oookay," Brooks managed to wheeze out as he stumbled backwards, "I'm done." He chuckled as Cook lowered her gloves.
"Awww Come on Reg," she said with a grin, "I'm just beginning to work up a sweat here." She had shucked her uniform and was in loose knee-length shorts and a tank top. Her shoulder length hair was pulled back into a small ponytail with only a few stray hairs that had managed to escape during the workout.
"Hey you're welcome to continue, Dana," Brooks said pointed to the heavy bag hanging in the corner of the Holo boxing gym, ‘there's your next partner."
He climbed out of the boxing ring and began to untie his gloves, "You know Dane, that I appreciate you teaching me to box, I just didn't know it was going to be a painful learning experience." He chuckled as he sat on a bench as she climbed out of the ring putting a confused expression on her face.
"Painful?" she said as she plopped down next to him, sweat running down her body, "I don't recall experiencing any pain at all." They both broke out laughing at that.
"Yeah well," Brooks went on as he removed his gloves and began working on the tape, "you're just too good for me Dana, and you know that."
"Don't be too hard on yourself, Reg," Dana said as she started on her tape, "You're doing much better than a couple weeks ago. You ‘almost' landed a solid blow this time."
Brooks chuckled and shook his head as he stood up and tossed the tape in a trash bin and hung his gloves up on a hook on the wall and grabbed a towel to dry off the sweat.
"You coming to the game tonight?" He asked.
"Tonight?" Dana asked as she stood up and followed him to hang up her gloves and grab a towel, "Who all is going to be there?"
"Well you know V'lur wont be," Reginald said with a smile; everyone knew the Vulcan Master Chief PO in Flight Control didn't gamble. "and the 'Old man' said he isn't up to it tonight."
Dana nodded her head as he mentioned the 'Old man', that was MCPO Davis in Engineering who was the oldest person that either of them had ever seen still serving in Starfleet. He had to be close to 80 or more at least.
"I'm going to miss him," Dana said then grinned, "but not his stories." They both laughed as they knew that Davis loved to regale them with tall tales from his youth. Dana thought it was just a distraction to take people's mind off the game. He was quite the poker player and often hard to beat for sure.
"Let's see," Brooks went on, "Tara said she could make it. Kook too, but he has the Gamma shift tonight so he is out before 2300. Oh, and Seto is out too; apparently he partied a little too much on the Starbase."
CPO Tara Palmer from Personnel was a pretty good player. Kook, or CPO Marti Lukkonen, was an exceptional card player and was one of the frequent winners. CPO Seto Yasuo was an occasional participant who was a mediocre player. Dana thought it was because he didn't apply himself to Poker. He preferred to study every aspect of Flight Control Systems and often didn't do much else for days.
"Well," Dana said, "that will only give us a couple hours to take Kook's money." She and Brooks both laughed at that, the opposite was true most time, though Dana was also an exceptional card player if she would say so herself.
"What about Lauren?" Dana asked. CPO Lauren Crane was a Geneticist; smart as a whip but not very good at poker. She got too anxious and it showed; she was horrible at bluffing and everyone too advantage of her many tells.
"Afraid not," Brooks said as he shook his head, "apparently she is confined to her quarters. Something to do with that mess of the Science officer, Lt. Tensenblen."
Dana frowned and wondered what was going on there. It was the talk of the ship how Starbase Security had apparently come aboard and arrested Tensenblen and then confiscated most of his lab. It was being kept hush hush as to the reasons, some scuttlebutt said it was illegal experiments he had been conducting. She thought that strange, as she always thought of the Captain as being a man who kept his ship in order and she couldn't see how something majorly illegal could be kept from him.
"Well that should be plenty," She nodded as she finished wiping down with a towel and rose to her feet, "The usual time and place?"
"Yep," Brooks nodded as he rose as well, "2100, usual place."
"I'll be there," Dana said as they walked towards the exit, "Computer, end program." The boxing gym disappeared to be replaced by patterned gray walls.
Dana could he heard saying as the left the suite, "You sure you don't want to come down to Medical and let me patch you up. You don't look so good." Laughter followed them as the Holosuite doors closed behind them.
(OOC: Hopefully I have properly edited this to account for my errors with CPO Crane. Sorry for any confusion. Now to editing the Poker Night scenario.)

While I'm not sure by what that means, I did enjoy the bit with Ensign Maize. I did imagine how that would have went if the SB security had tried that with Medical and Chief Cook. I imagine a whole different encounter.
It was very enjoyable to read.
Oh I'm working up a little something for Chief Cook after hours for later. I hope to have it up tonight, if anyone cares.
