Just before the Ambassador had a chance to speak, a blue-skinned

individual strolled into the room, carrying a PADD in hand. Looking

around at the crewmembers, he nodded his head and smiled. The thought of

being late hadn't entered his mind in the least. Getting odd looks from

security, he held up his Comm Badge and showed it to them.

"My boss sent me here for the meeting. Is this the right place?"

Getting odd looks, Frobo thought about it for a moment, then continued,

"Vincent sent me, from Food...Food Preparations. That's it. Do you know

where I can get a good seat?"

<<OOC: Thought I'd get on the ball and get back in the game. Since

Vincent's sick with the virus, thought I'd give the rest of the cooking

crew a bit of a showing.>>
