Ted sounded the chime to the XO's office. He looked down at the multiple padds he had in his hand and then looked back at the door. He didn't know what Sheridan would say about him getting supplies from the starbase, but it seemed that the captain was very busy with repairs. Therefore Ted thought it best to ask Sheridan. He waited for Sheridan to answer the chime.

"Please enter." john was finishing up some reports while on the way to starbase Typhon.

Ted entered, his usual mild attitude in place. "Hey, John. I need to get some supplies for the lounge. Here are the lists of supplies we need." He handed him one padd with a number of drinks on it, another with a list of foods, another with cleaning supplies, and yet another with furniture and dishes on it. "That battle took quite a toll on the lounge. "

Sheridan looked over the list, "Yes there will be quite a need for replacing the stores, Fortunately the Typhon has the replicators to get the job done. I understand the Ops chief on the Starbase is very easy to deal with."

Ted shuddered. "Did you just say replicators? I'm not talking replicated drinks and food. I mean the fresh food and genuine drinks that got smashed up in that battle."

"I was referring to the furnishings that were blasted to small pieces. I'm sure you'll be able to find your other items without difficulty."

Ted relaxed. "Aaah. Yes. That would be useful. But yes, I do need to get those supplies. So with your permission, when do you think would be a good time to get them?"

"You bet Ted, we should get the lounge back up and running as soon as possible."

Ted nodded. "And what kind of budget are we talking about? We're going to have to pay credits for this stuff, you know."

"We should be doing well with it actually as we left with the minimal of supplies. I'm sure acquisitions will stop you before you get to carried away."

"Understood. I'll bring you the figures before I give my thumbprint on anything." Ted was eager to get ready to go. He always enjoyed shopping for supplies. "Anything in particular you want me to get?"

"Well, if you run into a good aged bottle of Jim Beam feel free to grab it for me."

Ted grinned. "Of course. We gotta have Jim Beam and Jack Daniels."

Sheridan bust out with a wide grin and patted Ted on the shoulder. "Do what you can."

Ted nodded. "I will. Thank ya, John, I'll let you get back to work." He turned and left, waving good bye.
