Of course, Admiral. Welcome to Starphoenix. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Just put your ship in orbit and we will have you beamed down immediately.

*Steve walks into the transporter room awaiting the arrival of Captain Svensson and his crew*

OFF: No problems, Talia. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> If you want, you can help me with the Phoenix's crew? Oh, and can you change Svensson's title to Captain, seeing as you have admin access? http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Very well Captain, if you follow me, I will show you to our cargo bays. Mr Bostic, would you care to join us?

*Gives John a meaningful look*

Of course, Captain. I will meet you in our transportor room. Prepare to beam down. See you soon. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

OFF: Are you talking to me or the Admiral?

That is unfortunate, Admiral. Can I show you to some of our vip quarters or have you come to see someone?

Welcome Hurricane you have permission to beam down. Please stand by.

*Stone walks up to the transporter and meets Captain Smith*

Captain, I am Commodore Steven Stone, Chief of Operations at Starphoenix. We we get those materials to you as soon as possible. Would you and your crew like to tour the station while you wait?

OFF: A story? Interesting...:)

Of course, Captain. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Enjoy your drink.

*Looks over at Bostic*

Can I take Chief of Operations on the Station?

Great. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> What's my rank?
