Captain's log stardate 52913.4.  The War has officially been over for a few days but we just got another casualty report.  The wreckage of the Sutherland has been found.  No survivors.  Since the announcement that The Dominion has surrendered every victory celebration has been marked by another solumn reminder of the price that's been paid.  Maybe the universe is trying to tell us something.

Deep Space 9 is resupplying Odyssey and in the morning we'll depart for Ferenginar with Ambassador T'Vaal for a formal dinner in honor of the new Grand Nagus, Rom.  The trip itself should be a quiet one.

In the meantime much of the crew is enjoying their last few hours of leave on the station.

Odyssey is docked at lower pylon two and nearly every other pylon or docking port is in use.  Deep Space 9 is bustling with activity as ships from a dozen powers transit the area either to head for home, visit the Gamma quadrant or partake in trade.


OOC: Head to Quark's, Odyssye's lounge, anywhere you like.  Just a thread for some IC RP until the first mission thread.

Stepping into the turbolift, Cora knew it would take her from the Promenade to where she really wanted to go, Sickbay. She'd heard of genetic enhancement at the Academy, but to actually be able to meet someone that has been enhanced is a possibility that she cannot pass up. Not all genetically enhanced people turn out as well as Dr. Julian Bashir. She was kind of curious as to why he turned out so well and the others that had been enhanced before him didn't. But that was for someone smarter than her to figure out. She just wanted to shake the mans hand and have a discussion with him about medicine and the medical profession.

Once the turbolift stopped, Cora took a deep breath and stepped off, looking around as she enters the space stations sickbay. The Cardassian designs and aesthetic were a bit off putting, but then no one ever said a Cardassian had good taste in interior or architectural design. She walked slowly, just taking things in while she waited for the good doctor to show himself. She was hoping that he'd actually be here; believing a space station sickbay such as this never ran out of patients to take care of, so she'd just wait till he showed up.

"Then he tells me he's been to the Gamma Quadrant, seen things I couldn't imagine, all that, like that's supposed to impress me or something." Lt Elliaph sits at Quark's bar, chatting amicably with another patron while she nurses a drink with a slight orange glow to it. "I said unless he's seen the laws of physics change, his special trip doesn't make the results of my tests change. That's when I realize he isn't even listening, he's just hitting on me. Ugh. I feel bad for laughing while walking out, but also I don't, you know?"
