*Fleet admirals Madison, Hobson and vice admiral Fisher stood to greet the guests. Major Galon stood on the side.*

*Fisher stood, his hands fixed behind his back. He wanted to meet Embries and introduce him to the project.*

"Now where is Commodore Cruse? They have docked. Open the airlock doors."

-- Posted by Steven Cruse on 8:21 pm on April 12, 2004

*Rushes in.*
"Sorry for being late, was finishing repairs on the Alamo."
*Stands at attention with arms folded behind his back.*

"Ah, ok. Now we await the admiral's party."

-- Posted by Galon on 8:22 pm on April 12, 2004

*Walks in with a security team.*
"I apologize, I was assigning security to key areas of the station."

*A whistle sounds, and Hobson steps out.*
"Attention on deck!"

-- Posted by James Madison on 8:55 pm on April 12, 2004

*They see the figure of Vorak, Embries and another officer walking through the glass docking doors.*

*Major Green runs in puffing.*
"Oh, thank god, I'm not late."
*Seeing the admiral's shocked expressions, he stiffens up.*
"Err, good afternoon, admirals, Mr. Galon."

"Good evening, major Green."

-- Posted by Mark Green on 9:23 pm on April 12, 2004

"Good evening, commodore, I hope I do not monopolize too much of Mr. Embries' time, I know admiral Fisher wants to talk to him about the projects."

-- Posted by Vorak on 9:48 pm on April 12, 2004

*Vorak steps out of the airlock and looks at the officers in front of him. Behind him rushes a crowd of reporters trying to keep up, taking pictures and asking questions.*
"Greetings, it is an honor to be aboard this magnificent station."

-- Posted by James Madison on 9:50 pm on April 12, 2004

*Madison extends his hand.*
"Welcome to Deep Space 20, admiral. Here is our XO and chief of starship construction, vice admiral Fisher, and commodore Cruse, XO of the station. Major Galon, security chief and major Green, science chief."

-- Posted by Steven Cruse on 9:58 pm on April 12, 2004

"It is a great honor to meet you, flag admiral."

-- Posted by Tom Hobson on 9:58 pm on April 12, 2004

"Welcome to the station, admiral, the pub shall be prepared for our meal whenever you wish, or we may tour first."

-- Posted by GaryFisher on 10:00 pm on April 12, 2004

"Good to meet you, admiral. How was your trip?"

-- Posted by Steven Cruse on 10:02 pm on April 12, 2004

"Sir, should I have security patrol a little bit further out for safety?"

-- Posted by Embries on 10:05 pm on April 12, 2004

*Behind Vorak, Embries with his wooden staff stumbles out of the airlock onto the station, and looks around, hoping the person he is intended to meet, will recognize him.*

"Major, I am the officer in charge of the Excalibur Project. Major Green is who you're here to meet, but me too."

-- Posted by Tom Hobson on 10:07 pm on April 12, 2004

*Hobson walks to Embries, smiling.*
"Welcome to Deep Space 20, major! Shall we begin the tour, flag admiral? Or would you like to eat first?"

-- Posted by James Madison on 10:08 pm on April 12, 2004

"Welcome. Do you wish to have the tour with the amiral?"

-- Posted by Embries on 10:12 pm on April 12, 2004

"I am quite excited to hear more about this Excalibur Project. Thank you for your warm welcome, but I don't mean to walk in the way, so whatever you all decide to do next, will be fine for me."

-- Posted by GaryFisher on 10:14 pm on April 12, 2004

"You can come on the tour and remain in engineering or science, if you wish. Engineering is where the construction is located. Science has a place for you, you will see."

-- Posted by Tom Hobson on 10:14 pm on April 12, 2004

"It may work better to go to the pub first, that way we can discuss things before we show you. I am sure you all will want to know more about the Excalibur Project."

-- Posted by Mark Green on 10:15 pm on April 12, 2004

"It is entirely up to you, major, but I was hoping you would help me decide on what the design of the science stations of an Excalibur class ship would be, but I can understand if you don't want to start work straight away."
*Mark extends his hand to major Embries.*

-- Posted by Vorak on 10:16 pm on April 12, 2004

"A dinner would be most appreciated. I do look forward to a tour around the station, after the dinner, of course."
-- Posted by James Madison on 10:16 pm on April 12, 2004

"Yes, all guests are invited for dinner. Andorian ale, fine meats, and much more."

-- Posted by Tom Hobson on 10:17 pm on April 12, 2004

"Very well, if you will follow me, the Starburst Pub is not far from here."

-- Posted by Embries on 10:21 pm on April 12, 2004

*Major Embries shakes the hand of Mark Green.*
"It is a great honor to meet you. Let us follow the others toward the pub. To be honest, I'm quite hungry myself."
*He grabs his staff, and stumbles onwards.*

-- Posted by Mark Green on 10:26 pm on April 12, 2004

"Yes, I was so busy preparing the science department for the big arrival, that I missed dinner. I could use something to eat."

-- Posted by Paris Love on 5:56 pm on April 13, 2004

*Love exits to the docks a few moments after the admiral and his swarm of reporters do. Gazing around, she's happy to see that quite a few have gathered to greet the admiral. Whipping out her planner device, she works her way through the swarm of questioning flies, and approaches the admiral.*
