Captain Michael Hunt made his way to the Mess Hall after Alpha Shift ended. He already knew his new Cardassian Science Chief was planning to be here for drinks after shift as well and kept an eye out for the newest Lieutenant on the ship. He went to the bar, "Bar Tender, I'll have an old fashioned Earth Beer. And first round of drinks tonight for everyone is one me!"

The bar tender nodded as he prepped the Captain's beer. A lot of people shouted and cheered, came by and patted Mike's back or shook his hand, greeting their generous new Captain.

Jaina headed down the corridor towards the Mess Hall to check things out there since she finished up her shift. She needed a bit of down time before heading towards her quarters.

Commander Telios Wintersnow walked into the lounge as she looked around at the large gathering of people, clearly celebrating something. She was wearing civilian clothing, a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt., she made her way over to where the crowd was located. "Whats up?" she inquired.

"The new Captain is buying the first round for everyone today," a Crewman replies at hearing the XO's question.

The door opened a moment later as Master Chief Petty Officer Daniel McKnight, better known as 'Orthos' entered, he almost ran into the back of the Exec. With her dark skin, her tail, horns and hooves, she looked downright exotic as he found himself thinking of Daisy, he smiled as he considered an idea before he tapped his commbadge and he said quietly. "Orthos to Daisy?. psst you busy dear?"

Daisy was at her desk filling out performance reports. She heard her comm badge and Orthos' voice. "Well, maybe." she replied.

"If you can, be down here in the lounge in five minutes... looks to be quite a bash."

The door opened again as Aabrak stepped through the doors looking very pleased with himself. " I heard there were free drink's available."

Jack walks into the Mess Hall and gets a glass of whiskey before going over to Lilly who is looking out of one of the windows with a tall glass in her hand. Jack puts his arm around her and gives her a peck on the cheek before looking around for the captain. He sees the captain stood by a table a short way from the bar, he walks over to him. "Thank you for the drink sir, what you drinking?" Jack asks standing next to the captain.

"An old fashioned Beer," Mike replied. He extended his hand, "And if I'm recalling the Personnel Records correctly, you must be Lt. Ash-tor the Chief Diplomatic Officer. Right?"

Jack Takes his hand and shakes it "Yes sir, that I am. I have just transferred aboard with my family."

"Welcome aboard. Glad I'm not the only newbie to this ship and crew," Mike replied as he raised his beer before taking another drink.

John walks into the mess hall and gets a drink before he walks over to an empty table by the window and looks of it before taking a sip of it and placing his glass on the table.

The door opened and in came Commander Celeste Yamaguchi, the ships Chief Medical Officer, she had two Andorian teenagers with her, the male was the same size and mass as her where as the female was a bit smaller then Celeste was but neither Pasha or Pava would worry too much about their human adopted mother. "So... whats going on here?" Pasha inquired.

Pava raised an eyebrow. "Not a clue... looks like someone's died.." she commented

Celeste smiled. "No... I think they are welcoming aboard someone new.."

"Oh.." Pava inquired. "So nobody died...?"

"Not that I heard... of course nobody tells me anything..." Celeste commented evenly.

Mike stood on a chair, tapping his beer with a fork to get everyone's attention, "For those that don't know, because granted the change was sudden. I'm Captain Michael Hunt, the new CO of this here ship. I'm not much for speeches, so I'll keep this short, sweet and to the point. I know it'll take us a while to get used to each others styles. But I have no doubt that this will become the best ship and crew in the fleet. For those who just came in, the first round's on me. Now have fun... that's an order."

Joe finally walked in looking around he headed for the bar and ordered himself an Orion whiskey before finding a empty table to sit at.

Celeste Yamaguchi simply smiled. "You heard him." she commented as she regarded the two Andorians with her. Pasha nodded before moving off.

"You gonna be okay Mom?" Pava inquired.

"Yeah, I might need one of you to haul me home at the end.."

M'i'Kee sat near the window, in an oddly darkened corner of the room. He brought the glass of Andorian ale to his lips and took a drink while he watched the party. He looked at faces and body language in an attempt to access the newer members of the crew that had just transferred in. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Doctor Yamaguchi and her Andorian children walk into the lounge. He smiled slightly and remembered the procedure he'd taken before to heal his scars, wondering what she thought about him keeping more then he'd said he'd planned to. He doubted she'd be too bothered, afterall it had no effect on her at all. He downed the last of his ale and walked over to the bar, ordering another.

"Evening Doctor, You want anything while I'm here?"

Celeste Yamaguchi regarded the person who had addressed her. "Sure... I'll have whatever you're drinking.." she commented, feeling brave.

M'i'Kee nodded and gave the Doctor a small smile, "2 Andorian Ales please, Anything for your bodyguards?" He added, nodding towards Pava and Pasha, "Can't have them wandering around all night without some refreshment... true me I know that one better then you'd think."

Jaina had quietly entered the mess hall while the Captain had been speaking. Once he was done, she went over and ordered a drink and then looked around to see who all was there.

Daisy and a few marines made their way to the lounge. Daisy smiled as she spotted Orthos.

Joe had finished his drink then waved a server over and ordered another Orion whiskey.

Mike walked over to Jaina, "I'm glad you could make it, Counselor!"

Jaina smiled a bit at the Captain. "Thought I would check things out some before heading to my quarters," Jaina replied. "So how have things going so far?"

"Pretty good if I do say so myself. And you?" Mike asked.

Jaina smiled a bit more. "It has been a long day in some ways," Jaina replied. "Some days are better than others when it comes to dealing with reports that have to be done on a regular basis that gets sent to Starfleet Command."

Joe stands up from the table and walks over towards the bar ordering a 3rd Orion whiskey. He leans against the bar watching the room.

Mike made his way around the room, greeting his crew as he passed them. He noticed a group of Marines led by a Major. He approached them, "You must be Major Daisy Ruhr? I'm Captain Michael Hunt, the new Commanding Officer of the Shadow."

"Hello Captain, pleasure to meet you." Daisy told Mike with a slight smile. "This is my platoon sergeant Gunny Brianna Hobbs." Daisy pointed to the tall women standing next to her. "My executive officer is with her husband. We can't wait to get back out into space Captain."

"Nor can I. Which is why we are launching at 0800 Hours tomorrow. Make sure all your personnel is aboard by then. This ship waits for nobody," Mike replied.

Telios who was standing nearby overhead the comment as a sigh escaped her lips. "And so it begins.."

After making his way around the lounge and finishing his 3rd Orion whiskey Joe leaves the glass on the bar and exits the lounge.

Maxwell had already been running behind, He knew this. But he also didn't let something like a proper ground pounding pass him by. The Lieutenant that had been half hoisting him up by carrying him towards the area with his arm around his shoulder and the other one around his hip supporting him. When the doors opened, they walked in, Maxwell still in his trunks and a white t, with a really swollen purple eye that was bleeding on the outter rim of the wound. Given the fact that there were two peices of toilet paper that were a very deep red, and the his usually well kept hair looking extremely haggard. Other bruises littered his body. But there his big goofy grin popped up and he looked towards the crowd, flailing his arm in greetings. " 'ey! 'Appy hour. Ye shouldn't've. So Lieutenant Bob. Let's find a booth. Your probably my only date this evening." He gushed with a grin shaking his head.
