Cardasian Welcome & Family Time

Posted on Fri Oct 22nd, 2010 @ 6:29pm by Samanthia Akiashiro

Mission: Ten Little Diplomats
Location: Warp - 12

Samanthia looked over the list from the Fleet Diplomat Office and scowled as the Lounge was going to cater to the needs of the Cardasion Delegation. She stood up and moved from her office into the kitchen and called the head chief over to her and showed him the list of the foods that would be required for the refreshments and meals.

"Make sure this is series of meats are served sanitized and raw still and paper thin cuts so it will be easier to eat quickly so that none of the deligates get caught with something that they can't swallow quickly to converse in a timely manner." Samanthia looked at the Meat's Chef to make sure he understood the importance of the proper preperations of the meats. "Save the heavier cuts for the meal when the conversations is at the slowest." Getting a nod in return from the proper chefs as she spoke to each in turn.

She knew they was the best in their fields and gettingtop pay for their work to make this place an exciting place and well earned reputation of being the best place to visit and enjoy your rec time at.

Samanthia stood up, seeing one of the waitresses signaling that Tamarue was approaching the club for her daily visit. "Dismissed." Getting nods from her Kitchen staff and exited with them. She moved through the kitchen and into the Lounge proper, seeing the increase activity of the place as patrons entered and exited with anticapation and enjoyment of time well spent.

"Greeting Lady Akiashiro, Tamarue." Samanthia smiled taking Tamarue's hand and placing it on her fore arm and excorting herto her favorite table.

"Hello Daughter Samanthia. You have done wonderful job with this place." Tamarue smiled up at her step-daughter as she allowed herself to be excorted to her table in a timely manner arriving the same time refreshments arrived at the table.

"Thank you, Mamma Tamarue," Samanthia smiled as she helped Tamarue into a seat and taking one herself. "Is Father Raphiel going to show up also?" Inquired politely, glancing around towards the exit to see if Raphiel was going to show up.

"No, Starburst showed up early and parked in the wrong spot at the station and is now trying to get the crew free from the Station Security. And to get the ship to our faciltiy for the repairs and crew replacements. It seamed that the ship was Hijacked and brought to the station by some crew of thugs." Tamarue spoke softly of ship business to her.

"Can the crew identify the hijackers?" Samanthia spoke softly with interest.

"It seamed at initial contact they was wearing disguisses when they captured the crew. And now they are being held in the station brig for questioning. Raph is down there rasing all sorts of stink to get his Starburst crew free so they can move the ship to the Fleet's docks and repair facilties." Tamarue frowened, "I told him he should turn the Orchid loose on that portion of the route to clear out those thugs or hire someone to do it for him. But He says that none will harm frieghters, maybe raid them for the goiods they carry, but not to hijack a whole ship!"

Samanthia nodded as she listens to the tirade of Tamarue, both nibbling on the refreshments. "I am sure the Fleet Security and Eric will get to the bottom of this quite soon." Samanthia patted Tamarue arm gently. "If not then turn Fido loose. I am sure he will find out what is going on."

She (Samanthia), already making plans to look into this herself also through her contacts within S-31 and few other "contacts" she had to get alot of the foods products into her kitchens bypassing Fleet and other customs regulations to cross the Star Empire borders into Federation space. It may be exspensive, but it was woth every drop of Latinum she spent to get it here into her kitchens.

Tamarue just smiled that all knowing smile as she took a sip of juice and set the glass down onto the table. "I am sure we can manage just fine. You will give a portion of your profits to the family coffers?" Looking intently at Samanthia.

"If course as long as I am able to withdraw what I need..." Samanthia looks at Tamrue pointedly, "... Incase of an emergancy .. you know..."

Tamarue laughs softly, " you are a wiley one and I'll have to keep an eye on you."

Samanthia laughs softly, keeping the mood light and friendly, yet underneath was the feirce compitition of independance and the control being played out. But both knew that she, herself, owned alot to Akiashiro Clan just by being here and given the club to manage and a real nice place to live with an never-ending changing view of space on the Akiashiro Level of the station.

"Your coming for dinner to night? This way you can meet Captain Devenport and his first mate who is a handsome Caitian." Tamarue smiled softly, "It isn't right for such a healthy young woman of your stature to be single." Tamarue switching subjects.

Samanthia smiles softly. "I am sure I'll meet them soon enough and of course I'll come to the Family meal tonight. What time?"

"2000 hrs to night. Should give you plenty of time to get ready. Wear one of your kominoes. The last one was exquisite." Tamrue showed brief curiousity towards Samanthia and took a bite of a rice cake.

"What color would like to suggest I wear?" Samanthia asked politely.

"Akiashiro colors, Tamrue responded in delight to be asked such fashion question, "and do your hair up. You have such a lovely face to keep it hidden."

Samanthia smiled softly at the older lady. "I do hope that Elder Akiashiro doesn't have much trouble in getting the crew free from station security." Herself changing the subject this time.

"I am sure things will work out fine. We have a strong presence here in this sector and throughout the Federation and Klingon sector. With the Cardasian Space opening up for trade, I am sure that Raphiel will have no problems. We do have a few ships that trade with the Cardasians already."

"Then I am sure that'll make the Maquis abit upset." Samanthia mutters softly, getting another narrow eyed look from Tamarue.

"You are well informed, Samanthia, of the current situation that is going on within the Federation." Tamarue spoke softly with thought.

"I keep my ears open to the general conversations that happenes here and listen to the news occasionally." Samanthia waves her hand in a dismissive guesture as if it was no importance. She knew she had access to alot more if she wanted to return to the old life style at the beck and call of S-31. They would love to get an enterance to the Diplomat meeting between the the two star empires. Even the Klingons and Romulans were sending Diplomats to the Gathering. Four major players and one to open up new trade markets for raw materiel and goods. "Anyhoo... I need to make my rounds to keep my crew on their toes...I hope'll you don't mind?"

Tamarue nods, "I'll be fine and rest here abit." Wanting to keep an eye on Samanthia, whose past greatly puzzled her as there wasn't much known about her. Just brief bits here and there.

Samanthia nodded as she stood up and moved off gracefully to assist an elder couple along with another waitress.
