Sentinel 2/26

[8:33] [DOIC] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: SENTINEL theme begins to play...*

[8:33] [DOIC] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The camera pans around the starbase as the Sentinel has returned to 220 with many of their crew still recovering from previous events.*

[8:34] [DOIC] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *It settles on the lounge of the starbase as the Sentinel crew attempt to relax for an evening...*

[8:34] [DOIC] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *GO*

[8:36] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon is relaxing on a couch near the back of the lounge.*

[8:37] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *In the Loung with C'son playing tri-chess, well, playing chase, talking with C'son, and arguing with Elusive. She's got social tasking down.*

[8:37] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *In the Loung with C'son playing tri-chess, well, playing chase, talking with C'son, and arguing with Elusive. She's got social tasking down.*

[8:37] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *Stares at the board as she tunes out the arguing, moving a piece in a rather obviously bad position.*

[8:39] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Breaks away from the coversation and back to C'son, she studies the board for moment before moving her pierce. Seeming to captailize on the mistake made.* "So what should we do while we're back on

[8:39] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: starbase?"

[8:40] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton is juggling a soccer ball in one of the holodecks while he waits for 21 holo-players to come alive*

[8:41] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [Computer] Please state the parameters of the match.

[8:41] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Well, I currently do not have  any projects in mind, but perhaps a break from our work may be in order. I have read that regular breaks increase overall productivity.

[8:41] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "True, it would give us time to rest the brain, but thats so boring."

[8:42] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *While still juggling the ball with his feet and knees* 90 minute match.. ET plus penalties if score is the same.

[8:43] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [Computer] Acknowledged. Please state the parameters for the players involved.

[8:43] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Any suggestions then? *She makes a much better judgment in her next move, but she did leave a nasty opening from it.*

[8:45] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon slowly emerges off the couch and walks over to the other side of the bar.*

[8:46] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: -Spencer smiles-- "Mister Cameron, what a pleasant surprise."

[8:47] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon carefully takes a ssat across from Billie.* Mister Cameron? Billie...come on now...

[8:47] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she laughs-- "What?"

[8:47] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *He focuses his juggling down to his feet now* Hmm.. Give me the some of the all time greats from the 21st century in their prefered positions.. Both teams.

[8:48] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Jon or Jonathan will do...although I think Decia is the only one who calls me Jonathan...

[8:48] [DOIC3] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *approaches Kessi*

[8:49] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "How about I call you Jonny boy?"

[8:49] [DOIC4] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *drags Vic away from DOIC3 to DOIC4*

[8:49] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *looked up as Victor approached and smiled slowly.* Hello there.

[8:49] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [Computer] Command Acknowledged. Processing...

[8:50] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smirks as he relaxes in the chair.* If it floats your boat...

[8:50] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Studies the board, tempted to exploit that opening, but knows its probably a lure for her pieces to be taken.* "Hm, let's see. What can two single ladies with nothing to do get up too?"

[8:50] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Hey Kessi.

[8:50] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she leans back inthe chair.--

[8:51] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *he's holding a sack*

[8:51] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Ready for some action.. Jackson? *She smirked a little.*

[8:51] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Twenty one soccer players, one by one, appear in front of Alton.*

[8:52] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *smirks and winks*

[8:53] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon pulls out a PADD and looks down at it.*

[8:53] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Sets her hands on her hips and grins a little.* So what's the game plan?

[8:54] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She perks a brow* I was under the assumption you were in a relationship. I must have been mistaken.

[8:54] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: First, we need a distraction.

[8:54] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she motions the waiter over to order a drink--

[8:55] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [Waiter] Can I get you something ma'am?

[8:55] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton stares at one person in particular* Oh great.. the cockiest man alive..

[8:55] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Oh no, I am." Nodding, "Just right now we're two single ladies looking for something to do."

[8:55] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Yeah I will have a glass of iced tea."

[8:56] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [Waiter] Very well...and to you? *He looks to Jon.*

[8:56] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Oh. I am not attuned to sociall interactions, so I will let you lead here.

[8:56] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *He points at him* Ibra.. You're on my team... everyone else.. pick a side.

[8:56] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [Ronaldo] Que pasa?

[8:56] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I was thinking that I could hack the system, blow an EPS conduit.

[8:56] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Hmm.. *She glanced around the area, pondering ideas.*

[8:56] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Oh yeah? That could work..

[8:57] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The various players assemble into one team of 10, and another of 11.*

[8:57] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'll have what she's having.

[8:57] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Yeah. Might take out a few security members in the process too, making it an easier job.

[8:57] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The waiter nods and heads back over to the bar.*

[8:57] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: The only problem is that once the EPS conduit blows, security fields will immediately go into place.

[8:57] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Hm, we've been needing to get you out of your social shell for a while."

[8:58] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *He looks at Ronaldo* Which one are you? the penalty king?

[8:58] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She nods in agreement.*

[8:59] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: You'll have to work on the hacking..

[8:59] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she takes a long look at the PADD in Jon's hands-- "Hmm. messaging with Alice?"

[8:59] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [Ronaldo] Puta. *He is standing on the team opposite of Alton.*

[8:59] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Do we have any information on what security fields there are?

[8:59] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: They should go up to contain the EPS leak.

[8:59] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* Tracking her arrival.

[9:00] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton just stares at him* Yup.. It's the penalty one..

[9:00] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Really? When is she coming back?"

[9:00] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: If you go in through the Jefferies Tube, you might be able to by pass them.

[9:01] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: That should be pretty easy enough.

[9:01] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Let's see, what should we do first."

[9:01] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: She's on her way...just completed command school with a promotion to boot.

[9:02] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Remember, any phaser setting higher than stun will be detected by the internal sensors. So if you need to shoot anyone, make sure you keep it to stun.

[9:02] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton takes a position on the right wing of his teams side and waits for kickoff*

[9:02] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Ronaldo spits at the ground in front of Alton.*

[9:02] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I've got a runabout waiting for us at Bay 2.

[9:02] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He then walks off to his position.*

[9:02] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Do we have everything we need? *She nodded and checked her phaser just to be sure it was on the stun setting*

[9:02] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "That is terrific. Although now she will be able to order you around."

[9:02] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I think we do. After I hack the EPS conduit, I'll meet up with you.

[9:02] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton spits back at him* Well puta to you to!

[9:02] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon does his best to mask his reaction with a smirk.* I suppose so...that's always been her style anyway...

[9:03] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I should go command track, I would make a great captain."

[9:03] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Be sure to watch out for any security cameras on the way in.

[9:03] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Hmm, do you want a boyfriend?"

[9:03] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I'll try to wipe the security logs too.

[9:03] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: When it comes to computer security, there aren't many people better than I am.

[9:03] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Ah perfect. Alright. Ready to go?

[9:03] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *SHe shrugs* I do not know.

[9:03] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Yep. Let's roll.

[9:04] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *vic nods and heads to the computer lab near the secure room*

[9:04] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "How about you Jon? Have you been through command school?"

[9:04] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Nods and makes her way to the nearest Jeffries tube*

[9:05] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* I have not.

[9:05] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "what you are not interested in making captain some day?"

[9:05] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The match kicks off. Ibra passes back to Messi. who shoots a pass to Alton.*

[9:06] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "OKay, hmm, have you gone out drinking and dancing?"

[9:06] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon sighs.* Billie...that has been my goal since before I joined Starfleet. Josh's too.

[9:06] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I have not, no.

[9:06] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *peeks around the computer lab, making sure that nobody else is there, before logging into the panel*

[9:07] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton controls the ball and passes it back to a balding midfielder before jogging back to his wide position on the side*

[9:08] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles-- "Are you sure that is what you want? You sure don't seem to be pushing very hard."

[9:08] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Thats one option, with in the realms of moderation of course."

[9:08] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Casually makes her way to the nearest jeffries tube. She paused and looked around her before climbing in as quiet as possible.*

[9:09] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Of course. I do not wish to encounter the negative effects of drinking.

[9:10] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Billie...I openly campaigned for the second officer position.

[9:10] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Bypasses the security and enters the EPS subsystem*

[9:10] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: If I had been chosen, I would have been the one sent to command school.

[9:10] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Sure, um, dancing. Do you  know how to dance?"

[9:11] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I do not...

[9:12] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *checks the time and makes her way through the Jeffries tube toward their destination.*

[9:12] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Gasp.* Really?"

[9:12] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: =/\= Ready when you're in place...

[9:12] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton completely botches the pass which Ronaldo intercepts and starts steamrolling towards goal.*

[9:12] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *She reached the exit and waited with the closed door.* =^= Do it.

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Truly, I have not learned how to dance.

[9:13] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton curses under his breath and sprints after him to touch the side of his neck and strip the ball from him*

[9:14] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *taps on the panel, sending a surge to the EPS conduit in the hall. It explodes with tremendous force, taking out the two security guards who were watching the door*

[9:14] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she leans back and smiles--

[9:14] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks up from the PADD at her as the waiter returns with their drinks, setting them in front of each of them.*

[9:15] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: We need to fix this. Stat."

[9:15] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she picks up the drink and takes a long sip.--

[9:16] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Ronaldo easily shirts Alton's challenge, avoids all of the defenders on his team and lets a rocket loose that flies into the top corner of the net. He slides to one corner flag in celebration, pointi

[9:16] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: How? Instructional videos? A written manual?

[9:16] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: pointing at Alton and laughing with his teammates.*

[9:17] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Those would help, but having a partner is even better."  She gets up. "And I"ll be happy to show you."

[9:17] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon sets down the PADD and takes a sip, still looking at Billie.* You're happy for her, as you should be. As I should be.

[9:17] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton spits at the ground toward him* Puta.. * he walks back over to the center and waits for the game to start up again*

[9:17] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Sure."

[9:18] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Are you not happy for her?"

[9:18] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I am.

[9:19] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Ibra passes the ball to Alton as the match starts again.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She stands up as well, and looks to Stingray.* Is it an easy task?

[9:20] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Peeked out from the jeffries tube and carefully climbed out, checking the area near the door where the two security guards where passed out. She hurried over to them and disarmed them just in case.*

[9:20] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: =^= You got it. C'mon up.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Yes, as long as we talk it slowly. We can start with something basic like the two step."  Looks to the SPPADD. "Elusive something appropriate please."

[9:20] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I mean if this is what she really wants...why shouldn't we be happy for her?"

[9:21] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It is what she wants otherwise she would not have accepted the position.

[9:21] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It is what she wants otherwise she would not have accepted the position.

[9:21] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Elusive SPPADD starts blasting heavy death metal music; making Val grab the PADD and shake it. Words are exchanged before something light and airy plays. A pony giggles in the background.*

[9:21] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton keeps the dribbling short and close to his feet as he works his way forward, trying to get past the first defender before passing it off to his team and getting into a better attacking position

[9:22] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic logged out of the console and hustled down the hall, stepping over the two unconscious bodies and into the room*

[9:22] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Watch out... there are lasers.

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I am still perplexed by the development of such strength in emotion from the AI...

[9:22] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she lets out a little sigh.--

[9:23] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton's pass is intercepted again, and a long ball is hit towards his team's defense.*

[9:23] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Ahh.. i'm glad I waited for you then.. This could prove interesting..

[9:23] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton groans and heads back to play some defense*

[9:24] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon takes another sip of the tea.* Maybe I should just focus on being a really good flight controller.

[9:24] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles-- "You are a good flight controller."

[9:24] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: How far do we have to go then?

[9:25] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Well, I've been tinkering with her programming since we met. Probably too well." Gives the pony a look. Elusive gives the picture perfect look of innocence.*

[9:25] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she looks up at Jon-- "Jon have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you had never joined Starfleet?"

[9:25] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I see. That would explain it.

[9:25] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: The package is secured in that locker at the end of the room. We just need to navigate the laser sensors.

[9:26] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I probably would still be chasing after women. My brother wouldn't be in prison but we'd be doing god knows what.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Forgive her. She's still so mischivious." Steps up to C'son and goes through the process of proper hand placement so they can slow dance. "So, just follow my lead. Take a step to left and back, right

[9:27] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: and forward."

[9:27] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Honestly this is what I wanted to from the time when I learned about what it was.

[9:27] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *to do

[9:27] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton wins the ball deep in his own half.*

[9:27] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Wish i had a minature tractor beam right about now. Alright let's do this. *She cracked her neck a little.*

[9:28] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Have you heard from Joshua recently?"

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *SHe mimics the hand placements, watching Stingray's feet as she mimics the movements fairly well, wiht a bit of stumbling.*

[9:28] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* I have not.

[9:29] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she sips her drink.-- "I hope he is doing alright?"

[9:29] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Smiles encouraging, taking her time, letting them get itno the rhythem as C'son gets comfortable with the movements. "It just like science, there's a relation of motion between two persons, with

[9:29] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: percise steps."

[9:30] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Last I heard he was transferred to a penal colony.

[9:30] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *starts to gingerly step forward, contorting himself to avoid the alsers*

[9:30] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she frowns at that.--

[9:30] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton sprays the pass out wide to his fellow balding midfielder and runs back upfield for a counter attack*

[9:32] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Regula IV I believe. They call it a "rehabilitation colony".

[9:32] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Sooner or later I will date someone who doesn't wind up in jail."

[9:32] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The midfielder takes it and launches a pass upfield for Alton.*

[9:33] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon frowns.* Maybe if he shows that he's not the monster he was inside the Chorus you will have a chance to see him.

[9:33] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *While he does this, a security officer enters the room* Hey! You!

[9:34] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Was just about to join him in the laser dodging but jumped and spun on her heel. She grabbed for her phaser and fired a stun shot at the officer.*

[9:34] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I see. Fascinating...*She eases into the steps, becoming less awkward with time as she keeps the mimicry up.*

[9:34] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "There, your're getting it. See, it's so much easier to learn with a partner."

[9:34] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton traps the ball, like a certain brazilian, with his feet and kicks it in front of him, laying it off last minute to Ibrahimovic to keep possession*

[9:35] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she sighs.-- "I am not naive enough to believe in happy endings like that."

[9:35] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Why not? Alice and I have one.

[9:36] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles-- "You and Alice are different. You deserve to be happy."

[9:37] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You deserve to be happy too, Billie.

[9:37] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You deserve to be happy too, Billie.

[9:37] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The pass to Ibra bounces off his foot, allowing one of the defenders to take it and reset. They pass it to the opposing team's midfield.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Indeed it is. Thank you, Ms. Stingray.

[9:38] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton once again falls back and pressures the midfield to give up possession of the ball*

[9:38] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles.-- "Thank you."

[9:39] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: And I want Josh to be happy after all that's happened.

[9:39] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "You're very welcome, Ms. C'son. If you would like more lessons please hit me up.  We'll have you turne dinto a dancing afficinado in no time."

[9:40] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *she misses and he takes a shot*

[9:40] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *the security guard misses too*

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I feel it prudent to seak out situations with which to use dancing before I learn too much about it.

[9:40] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic spins around and takes his own shot*

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: But, I will go to you should I desire to learn more.

[9:41] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "It may be out of his hands. With everything tht has gone on with Salvation and command's reaction to those events I worry that they may not be interested in giving him a chance to prove himself."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Well, that's true, but hey, at least you'll be ready for it when the situation comes up."

[9:41] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton and the midfield run into each other and a foul is called. Pirlo gets up in Alton's face.*

[9:42] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton for once in his life.. goes eye to eye with pirlo, flicking at his hair before stepping away* Someone needs a haircut..

[9:42] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *She cringes as her shot goes too far wide and she hops to the side, glad he failed as well.*

[9:43] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic hits the guy with a stun shot*

[9:43] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Pirlo stares him down as they are seperated by teammates. Ronaldo lines up for a free kick.*

[9:43] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Did I tell you?"

[9:43] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Tell me?

[9:44] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton backs up from the cluster and goes to a position to help defend and go on the counter if they receive the ball back*

[9:44] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I'm headed back to Earth. I leave in the morning."

[9:44] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Nice shot.. watch that laser behind you. *she motioned to him and then took a position near the door, ready this time for any other intruders.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She nods*  How many variations of dance do you currently know?

[9:45] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "It is just a few days."

[9:45] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* Going to see the family?

[9:46] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Yeah, well at least mom and dad."

[9:46] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *he finally makes it to the locker and shoots it open, seizing the priceless diamond within*

[9:46] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: That's great. I would join you if she wasn't already on her way.

[9:46] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Well, mostly the steps for formal balls and what now. I was thinking of learning to tango with Alton. I thought he might get a kick out of that."

[9:46] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles-- "I figured I should take the opportunity before it slips away again."

[9:48] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Is that a dancing pun?

[9:48] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'd like to visit my family again before the wedding but I don't think Alice will be up for traveling back to Earth so soon.

[9:48] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Speaking softly as she continues to watch the door, phaser ready.* Tuck it away and let's get goin'!

[9:49] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Have you set a date for the wedding?"

[9:49] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: 'Yes it is, actually." Giggles.

[9:49] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *stuffs it in a bag and heads back for the door*

[9:49] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: The runabout is in Bay 2... let's go!

[9:49] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* That's kind of the first thing on my agenda when we get back.

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Very clever.

[9:50] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Ronaldo's free kick sails over the defense and heads towards the diving Lloris.*

[9:50] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Thank you. We can learn that togehter, once your get the basics down if you like."

[9:51] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[9:51] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Nice work with those lasers.. *She nodded and rushed out alongside him.*

[9:51] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Lloris is able to get to hand to the ball but it is not enough, as it sails into the net. Ronaldo heads off to celebrate again as the whistle blows for halftime. 0-2.*

[9:52] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton glares at Ronaldo as they walk towards the locker room*

[9:53] [DOIC4] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic hurried down the hall with her toward Bay 2*

[9:53] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I am hoping to petition Starfleet to allow Joshua to be given a temporary release for the date.

[9:53] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I am hoping to petition Starfleet to allow Joshua to be given a temporary release for the date.

[9:54] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton walks into the locker room and looks at his team* Well we are playing like shit..

[9:55] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I would like that, sure.I will keep practicing in the meantime until then.

[9:55] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *A bearded German walks into the room and kicks a locker in frustration.* In this moment, you are playing with fear. You do not believe in your own abilities, that you are able to compete with them.

[9:55] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "All right then. Maybe we can join a dance off or something one day." Laughs lightly. "That would be sweet."

[9:56] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she consider what Jon said, then after a brief pause.-- "What do you think the adds are they say yes?"

[9:56] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: Are you quoting a line from them Rocky movies?

[9:56] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't know. How much cache do you think I have with Starfleet Command?

[9:57] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The German tilts his head at Alton.* No...you must go out and press them at every moment. Make them feel like there is no oxygen available, no space to play.

[9:57] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I don't know. I suppose it cant hurt to try."

[9:58] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I mean...I'm not one to brag. But look at what we've accomplished.

[9:58] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I would offer to be a character witness, but that might hurt the cause."

[9:58] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: We took part in investigating and taking down Salvation...we brought Josh in alive...

[9:58] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon chuckles.*

[9:58] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *he shrugs and nods his head after* Ok.

[9:59] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "To be honest Jon I think Starfleet command would prefer to sweep the whole thing under the rug."

[10:00] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: That doesn't help anything.

[10:01] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [German] Now get out there and make THEM believe you can win. *The players begin filing out.*

[10:01] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton energetically claps in the tunnel* Let's go boys! *He is clearly Klopp-inspired*

[10:01] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "No it doesn't. But, it doesn't change the fact that a lot of Federation and Starfleet people were embarrassed by the whole incident."

[10:02] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Do they have those around? I have not seen one before.

[10:02] [DOIC2] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Uh." Thanks for a moment. "I don't know actually. Hm, that would be inconvient wouldn't it."

[10:02] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Uh." Thanks for a moment. "I don't know actually. Hm, that would be inconvient wouldn't it."

[10:03] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: actually be seen.*

[10:03] [DOIC4] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: bah mt

[10:05] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The players line up and the second half kicks off.*

[10:06] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The ball is passed towards Ronaldo and he runs towards the defense.*

[10:06] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Of course they were. But if you sweep it under the rug, you're doomed to repeat it.

[10:06] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton sprints right after Ronaldo and tries to do a slide tackle from behind him to strip the ball once again from him*

[10:09] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[10:12] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Maybe when I get back from Earth I will contact Starfleet and see what a person has to do to visit Joshua. Surely they will let him have visitors."

[10:12] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton strips the ball and is able to run forward with it.*

[10:13] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: That would be lovely.

[10:14] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: Puta! *he sprints forward with the ball and plays tiki'taka with his team as they work they way forward to goal*

[10:15] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I mean no matter what he did , he still has rights. They can't be holding him in isolation...right?"

[10:17] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It's a rehabilition colony.

[10:18] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "What like a hospital?"

[10:18] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't think that means isolation.

[10:19] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shrugs.* Don't look at me, I've never been there. But it doesn't sound like a prison to me.

[10:19] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton has ball ripped from him but Ibra quickly recovers it and plays Alton through with a through ball.*

[10:19] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she looks rather concerned.-- "Well I will try and look into it."

[10:20] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I would greatly appreciate it. *He smiles at Billie and leans forward.* Despite everything that has happened, I count you as one of my closest friends.

[10:21] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton speeds past Ramos as he follows the through ball, and with his first touch he drills it toward goal*

[10:21] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles-- "I appreciate that. That means a lot to me."

[10:22] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton's shot skies above the goal as if it was a fieldgoal.*

[10:22] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Especially given what has happened in the past."

[10:22] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I know.

[10:23] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton falls to the ground and lays face down to catch his breath*

[10:23] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "A lot of people might have written me off a long time ago."

[10:23] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Messi walks over to offer a hand.*

[10:24] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I almost did...quite a few times.

[10:24] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "So the fact that you didn't is important to me."

[10:24] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *he grabs it and stands up with the help* Who knew us small guys can actually kick it hard..

[10:24] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* But ultimately...you have worked really hard to try to make things better.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: [Messi] I think that would have worked in the American sport.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *he shrugs and heads back to his position for the goal kick*

[10:26] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The goal kick

[10:26] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The goal kick takes place and the ball bounces off of Puyol and falls to Alton.*

[10:27] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton scoops it forward and starts the attack forward, spraying it last minute to messi and sprinting ahead to the goal for a lobbed pass back*

[10:28] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she nods at that..-- "I am not sure I can eveer do enough to make up for what has been done."

[10:28] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: No one can.

[10:28] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't think that's fair to ask of someone.

[10:29] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The lobbed pass succeeds and the opposing centrebacks run into each other, leaving Alton one on one with the keeper.*

[10:30] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I suppose it isn't."

[10:30] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Look at what you did for Alice. You helped keep her alive until...well...something happened.

[10:30] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Look at what you did for Alice. You helped keep her alive until...well...something happened.

[10:31] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton feigns left, dribbling forward to bait the keeper forward, then chips him for the far post*

[10:31] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she picks up her drink and takes a sip. then she smiles-- "Jon I really can't take a lot of credit for helping Alice."

[10:32] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Billie you got sent to a mining outpost because you refused to give her up to the Oversight Committee.

[10:33] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Well trust me I wouldn't have given up any of my fellow crew to those vultures."

[10:34] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton's chip almost succeeds, but De Gea tips out for a corner at the very last moment.*

[10:34] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton grabs the sides of his head and slowly jogs back to his place*

[10:34] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "But, to be sure I think they were planning on sticking it to me no matter what I told them."

[10:34] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I know...but it helped her...and it took courage. And you admistered treatment that helped keep her intact.

[10:35] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Er.. alton sets up at the top of the box for the corner kick*

[10:35] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I would have done anything to help Alice. IBut, ultimately her situation was beyond my abilities."

[10:36] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I am just glad things worked out."

[10:36] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* Do you...have any understanding on what happened?

[10:37] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I am still in the dark about a lot of it."

[10:37] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The ball is whipped in but bounces straight to Alton. There is a clear shot on goal.*

[10:37] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton runs up and swings his leg at it, taking a chance at goal*

[10:38] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton fires it into the net and scores. 1-2*

[10:38] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I am as well.

[10:39] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I took it as a miracle.

[10:39] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "It wasn't as if the director was ever forth coming regarding the technology he used and exactly what he did."

[10:39] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton jogs toward the corner flag and jumps in the air, spinning 180 and landing with arms outstretched to the ground* Siiiiiiiiii !!!!!

[10:39] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Of course.

[10:40] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Messi grabs the ball and runs back to the center circle, motioning Alton to do the same.*

[10:41] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "You could try asking Shantal. I am not sure how much you would get from her though."

[10:41] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I know that Denise was working on something...

[10:41] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I know that Denise was working on something...

[10:42] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton jogs back to his side and waits for kickoff*

[10:42] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Pressuring the opposition when they get the ball rolling*

[10:43] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --have you asked her about it?"

[10:43] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'm hesitant to question such a gift. *He shakes his head.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth?"

[10:43] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Ronaldo brushes past Alton, heading towards goal.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* Did you grow up on a farm?

[10:44] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she laughs-- "Um, yes."

[10:45] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton sprints after him, and once again slide tackles him hard from behind*

[10:45] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "But, I wasn't born in a barn."

[10:46] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Neither was I.

[10:46] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: But that's something my grandfather used to say.

[10:47] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she laughs-- "My mother would always reminds us of that, when we made a mess and didn't clean it us. she would say, 'You weren't born in a barn!'"

[10:47] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton succeeds in tackling him but misses the ball and trips Ronaldo up, sending him tumbling to the ground. The ref blows the whistle and runs up to Alton, issuing a yellow card as Ronaldo writhes i

[10:47] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: in pain.*

[10:47] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon laughs.*

[10:47] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I think our families would get along.

[10:48] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton stands up and hovers above him, spitting on him and tapping at his leg* Puta..

[10:48] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Not caring if the ref was near or not*

[10:49] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I don't know. My family didn't always get along."

[10:49] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Ronaldo shoves Alton and a fracas breaks out. Ronaldo's team tries to hold him back.*

[10:49] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Why?

[10:50] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton launches himself at Ronaldo and he starts swinging*

[10:50] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I had four older brothers...you know how brothers are?"

[10:51] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "My brother put my barbie doll on trial for witchcraft and burnt her at the stake."

[10:51] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Alton swings and misses, but Ronaldo goes down anyway. The ref had his back turned for a moment but swings around, and on the presuation of the opposing team, shows Alton a red card.*

[10:52] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon chuckles.* You were kids..

[10:52] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton's jaw drops and he sprints closer to get in the ref's face* What? What did I do?

[10:53] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Yeah, the good old days."

[10:54] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I agree though, I am sure our families would get along."

[10:54] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The ref waves him off and the simulation ends.* [Computer] Program complete.

[10:54] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* Especially you and Josh...

[10:54] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He smirks at her as he leans back in his chair.*

[10:55] [DOIC3] Alton@the5of435: *Alton steps back and blinks a couple of times as he tries to simmer down* I forgot..

[10:55] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles, yet at the same time seems to become visibly sad.--

[10:56] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Billie?

[10:57] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The holodeck is now empty.*

[10:57] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I'm okay."

[10:57] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You just seemed...sad.

[10:57] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You just seemed...sad.

[10:59] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "It is just this idea that me and Josh might be happier together, you more and more it feels like the universe wants to keep us apart."

[10:59] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: **you = yet

[10:59] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You know I felt like that sometimes with Alice.

[11:01] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I have to hold onto my faith in the idea that things will work out how they are supposed to."

[11:02] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I will do anything and everything I can to help make that happen. For both of you.

[11:03] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles-- "Thank you."

[11:04] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You don't know how badly I want to see Joshua happy again.

[11:05] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles-- "I want to believe it is possible. and I share your hope that Joshua can find peace and happiness."

[11:07] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It would be nice to see that happiness be with one of my close friends. *He takes a sip of his tea.*

[11:08] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I have faith."

[11:09] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: So do I

[11:09] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Who knows...perhaps this combined faith could move a mountain.

[11:11] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I suppose anything is possible at this point. I mean after everything we have seen and done, nothing is beyond belief really."

[11:11] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It's true...I never imagined many of the things we have seen and uncovered even possible.

[11:12] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "So that is it then. happiness is right around the corner." --she says with a laugh--

[11:13] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* I'll be sure to tell Alice to toss the bouquet in your direction.

[11:15] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "and woe be to anyone trying to get in my way when I go to grab it."

[11:16] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: --she smiles.--

[11:17] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Exactly.

[11:17] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You might have to fight Stingray.

[11:17] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon chuckles.*

[11:18] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "Well I suspect Elusive might be on my side."

[11:18] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "So I may have the advantage."

[11:19] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Ohhh!

[11:19] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: A hidden weapon.

[11:19] [DOIC2] Spencer@Demoncherub: "A holo-pony running interference."

[11:21] [DOIC2] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Brilliant.
