*Jackson orders another drink.*

Hmmm, Captain. Doesn't seem to be much going on here. A shame. I've got the feeling it's going to be our last chance for shore leave for a while. Oh well.

*Jackson takes a gulp from his drink and looks around.*

You said it, Cap'n.

*Jackson takes another drink.*

OFF: I don't know what Enoch senses, but I'm sensing that someone from Ops should post here and recall us to the ship...or...to kill more time, I could sing another verse lol

*Jackson follows the rest of the Evolution crew into the bar. He looks around.*

Hmmm...Not bad. Not bad at all. Captain Sanchez was right. I might get to like this place.

Barkeep, bourbon. Bourbon from Kentucky would be good. Maker's Mark would be even better.

Now, let me tell y'all how I like it. Get a tall glass. Fill it up with ice. Then, dump the dam* ice out of my glass and fill it up with bourbon instead.

Mr. Vurak, it's good to meet you, too. Like I said, once we get back to the Evolution, my department is available to you if you need any help refitting the ship.

In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy my shore leave. Capn'n Sanchez, I won't be leaving anytime soon. Let's have a drink.

*Jackson gets his drink and wanders over to where Captain Sanchez and the other officers from the Evolution have gathered. *

Ahhh...That's better. Wow, it seems like we have a reunion going on.

I'm ready, sir. Let's go.

OFF: Well, you asked for it. lol

*Jackson, oblivious to the fact that Enoch has become paralyzed with fear, continues singing. *

Oh yes I sure do love the Evolution
Her Captain always finds the right solution
Two guys named Spock don't lead to no confusion
Guess I should drink a bottle of Absolut--tion

OFF: Just kidding Vurak and Spock http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Someone from Ops post please before I have to make up even worse rhymes...

*Takes another drink.*

Huh, maybe we should sing a song about the ship.

*He sings*

I love serving on the Evoltuon
She was built long after the age of fusion
Her engines run with no pollution
Now we sit here in a bar in confusion

OFF: Someone should sign me to a big music contract. lol

*Jackson takes a long drink and starts introducing himself to poeple he doesn't know. *

Mr. Vurak, we haven't met, but I'm the new CSO on the Evolution. If you need anything from my department during the refit, let me know. Just from our last mission, I know how nasty those N'yjgat can be.

*Jackson takes another drink*

Cap'n Taurik, sorry, suh, but I haven't met you either, but I've heard about you from other folks on the ship. You're like a legend on the Evolution. It's a pleasure to meet you, suh.

*Jackson takes yet another drink*

Ms. belanna, I don't mean no harm, ma'am, but you're a cute little filly. Mind if I buy y'all a drink?

OFF: Looks like Jackson is getting drunk lol

*Jackson laughs*

Ahh!!!!!!!!!...you cheated...I would have beat you!

*Sanchez's message comes through, and Jackson stops smiling.*

Dam*. Looks like we got duty. I guess that prize will have to wait for another day... http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

*They leave the holodeck.*

*Jackson smiles at ftima *

You're right. Let's get this scan done as soon as possible. And, thanks, again for asking me to go hear the B'joran scientist. I'm looking forward to it.

*Jackson pulls out his scanner and starts looking for contamintation. He then hears Sanchez give him an order from the bridge. He looks again at ftima.*

*Sigh*

Guess I have to go. Sorry I can't help more, but everything here looks good to me, and the cpatain needs me on the bridge...

*Jackson leaves sickbay and heads to the bridge.*

Yes they are.

*He wipes a little whipped cream off of ftima's chin with a strawberry, and then places the berry in her mouth and smiles.*

I'm glad you like them.

A holoprgram? I'm game, since we seem to have the night off. I'd love to see the wonders of Bajor...

*Jackson smiles*

A swim? Heh heh, we just avoided that! Besides, I'm not dressed for it...but the sunrise? Yeah, I'd like to see that. This land is truly beautiful. Tell me more about this place...is it somewhere special for you, or just an example of pretty Bajoran countryside?

I understand. Sounds like you've had an interesting life...good for you that you finally got out and did what you wanted to do. That takes guts.

As for the Julep? It's just water, ice, sugar and mint...with a little bourbon thrown in for good measure. Shouldn't bother you at all. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Now for dessert...How about strawberries and whipped cream? Another one of my favorites.

*Jackson moves to the replicator and brings back the dessert.*
