After the Senior Staff meeting had broken up, Sam had gone back to his quarters and unpacked the personal belongings that he'd managed to get from the<em>Odysseus</em>to the<em>McNair</em>personally.  There was more...but it was all peripheral and non-essential to him, so the<em>Ambassador</em>-class could drop it off at a Starbase, and if the<em>McNair</em>ever got there, then he could pick them up and have them transferred aboard ship.<br/><br/>Once that was done, he set about changing his dress for the launch celebration.  While he usually showed up to formal occasions in his Starfleet best, it had become apparent to him that that was<em>verboten</em>at this gathering, which was supposed to be informal.  However...even without considering his uniforms, he didn't see much in the middle of the casual<---->formal spectrum.  And he decided that it would be a little bit better to be overdressed...especially considering the Holodeck.<br/><br/>After changing clothes, and checking the Holodeck to make sure that everything was set, he entered the crew lounge, wearing a full tuxedo.  It had been that, or a suit, and there really wasn't much difference in the level of formality between the two.<br/><br/>He noted the Captain and Chief Medical Officer sitting at a table together.  "Captain, mind if I sit down?"
