STSF_BluRox -> :: parks the bike and takes off after them::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Oh, like that's such a treat. We're only going a half dozen blocks.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::heads into the hotel towards where Christina, Heather and Blu are::

STSF_BluRox -> You menace.....and pretend you didn’t' see me after almost running me down?!

Heather Jamieson -> Why would you get in the flow of traffic on the strip?

STSF_BluRox -> ::sees Ayumu:: Knows she's somehow guilty as well, if just by association:: You...over here too...

Ayumu Kasuga -> What happened?

Christina_Nickles -> :: remains quiet::

STSF_BluRox -> Because that is the "ONE and only" legal on street crossing, and the pedestrians have the right away in that one spot.....

Ayumu Kasuga -> Did you almost run over the Admiral?

Heather Jamieson -> No I did not.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::glances at Heather:

STSF_BluRox -> If you'd been here before you'd know that.... :: pointing to the spot out in front of the Planet Hollywood...just as the Bellagio fountains began to roar in the distance....

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks at the fountains:::

STSF_BluRox -> Oh...don't you go chiming in all innocent...I'm sure you had something to do with this as well....perhaps you were the one that they were too busy "texting'? Hummm?

Heather Jamieson -> When the signal changes of course. I am sorry Admiral for the near collision.

Ayumu Kasuga -> You were driving and texting?

August Jax Robinson -> ::Gets back to her seat::

Heather Jamieson -> I was not.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ah.

Heather Jamieson -> I got yours Kasuga and my comm spoke it out to me.

Christina_Nickles -> :: looks between the two::

August Jax Robinson -> we are almost there, I am not getting caught

Christina_Nickles -> I was just hanging on for all I was worth

Heather Jamieson -> Off subject, but I guess we all got the same message to be here?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Yeah, you got that same invite too?

Christina_Nickles -> We did

STSF_BluRox -> Why are you here?

Ayumu Kasuga -> Ah. We got invited here from someone.

LtCmdrRobinson -> getting caught? I think everyone knows what we do in our free time.

Ayumu Kasuga -> I don't know who..

Heather Jamieson -> A message saying we have an expense paid thing at this hotel.

Ayumu Kasuga -> :nods::

STSF_BluRox -> Ah...then perhaps I should escort you there, to make sure that you don’t' run over anyone else.....

Ayumu Kasuga -> You really should keep your eyes on the road at all times.

 

STSF_BluRox -> Follow me.....

August Jax Robinson -> ::Bites Will::

STSF_BluRox -> looks over at Heather::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Eh, I'm not so sure I trust things given to me for free.

Heather Jamieson -> Why are we doing this?

STSF_BluRox -> Then the others.......

Ayumu Kasuga -> Because it's an order from the admiral.

STSF_BluRox -> ooops...Heathers not a team player......

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::trying to land the shuttle in the shuttlebay while Jax is biting him::
