OFF: This will probably be a short post, but I had itchy typing 
fingers, so I have to type something. 

ON:

LOCATION: {Bridge}

:: The Captain enters his ready room to prepare for the day. ::

Jade: "So, CDR how have you liked being here on the Excalibur?"

CDR: "It's been terrific, I know that I am really going to like her 
crew." :: He smiles at me, with brite red cheeks. ::

Jade: "I see, have you meet any of the other crew members?"

CDR: "No, not yet, but I am sure that _non_ will as inquisitive as 
you are _dear_ Counselor."

Jade: :: I smile arrogantly. :: "I'm sure there won't be. That is 
why _I_ am the counselor. Don't worry CDR, I'll try not to jump to 
_too_ many assumptions about you."

CDR: "Do you think that would be fair Counselor?"

Jade: "I don't think it is fair to _any_ of us, if you are not 
_true_ to yourself." :: I speak up a little louder to address 
everyone on the bridge. :: "And that goes for _everyone_ on the ship, 
not just you CDR."

:: J'Dar and Redroi look up at me in acknowledgement, but Indolgo 
continues at his work. ::

Tolbin: =^= Tolbin to Counselor Jade. =^=

Jade: :: I smile and turn from facing the CDR and J'Dar. :: =^= Jade 
here. =^=

Tolbin: =^= Counselor, I am still in sick bay, got a few third 
degree burns here, as soon as Lt. Kelley finishes up, I be there on 
the bridge as soon as possible. =^=

Jade: =^= Take your time First Officer, we need you in perfect 
condition. I'll be here waiting for you. =^=

Tolbin: =^= Okay Counselor, Tolbin out. =^=

:: I turn back to face the CDR and J'Dar again. ::

Jade: "So where were we?"

CDR: "I think you were getting on to me."

Jade: "No, just letting you know what I have been observing."

CDR: "And what is that?"

Jade: "You know CDR, I don't do business outside my office, unless 
the Captain or First Officer request it from me. If you need 
counseling, make an appointment with me, because I don't think it 
would be fair to all the _incident_ crew members on the bridge _now_, 
to hear all of your faults, and fears." :: I continue to smile at 
him pompously. ::

CDR: "I just might do that, Counselor."

OFF: Well hope to hear from more of you tomorrow.
