Sentinel 6/28

[8:33] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: STAR TREK SENTINEL THEME

[8:34] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [For tonight is it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH9aB_cZdYo&feature=emb_logo ]

[8:35] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The camera fades in with a glorious shot of the newly repaired Sentinel streaking through the stars at warp speed. She moves with a silent grace through the stygian darkness as she has entered the

[8:36] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: space here known as the 'Kzari Corridor'. A soft dissolve brings the viewer into the bustling hallways and corridors of the ship though not quite as filled as they once were as not all o fher wounded

[8:36] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: or fallen have been replaced.

[8:37] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: As the credits fade the viewers joins the crew of Alpha watch go about their duties as they continue on patrol...Shantal's Log can be heard as a voice over...

[8:38] [DOIC] Shantal@Arnimane: Captain's Log stardate 97319.13...

[8:39] [DOIC] Shantal@Arnimane: We find ourselves a day out from the Citadel on a fully repaired Sentinel as we had out to the Kzari Cooridore near the Black Ocean for and extended patrol.

[8:40] [DOIC] Shantal@Arnimane: We have been dropping from warp at intervals to deploy special bouys that the Alliance hopes will act as a sensor network in helping detect movement of potentially holstile vessels the like that had

[8:40] [DOIC] Shantal@Arnimane: attacked us.

[8:41] [DOIC] Shantal@Arnimane: -there is an long pause before Shantal abrputly ends her log-  End log.

[8:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [[Alice] Helm ETA to way point seven?

[8:42] [DOIC2] Shantal@Arnimane: -she looks over the mission notes again..and wonders what and muses to herself-

[8:42] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel was running the usual tactical scans.*

[8:42] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Checks her passive scans and the status of the buoys from time to time, stopping to admire her pretty silver bracelet, then continuing her work.*

[8:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Two minutes.

[8:43] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --Billie Jo scanned the area with her eyes, before returning her attention to her PADD she tapped a few times.--

[8:43] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Keeps her scanners running while working on reviewing reports and data.*

[8:43] [DOIC2] Shantal@Arnimane: These look like the sam orders from the last time before vwe got blown ta bits...-sighs and she slides the PADD away from her on the desk-

[8:43] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Commander.  I'm picking up gravimetric disturbances, forwarding coordinates to the science consoles."

[8:43] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks over at Xylvarenn.* Welcome back, Commander.

[8:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Steady as she goes..Veeri ready marker buoy 7

[8:43] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Readying, Ma'am."

[8:44] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Why thank you commander, I hope I have not been to missed?"

[8:44] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smirks.* Maybe a little.

[8:44] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "You were! ...Oh... Commander Xylvarenn? I'm picking up some subspace imbalacnes too... sending them over."

[8:44] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Going over Unity materials in connection to their location. Trying to decipher any useful intell in her current research. Plus watching the pssive scans for anomaly distorations of Kzari ships.*

[8:44] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She sent along the gravimetric stuff to Val and Xyl.*

[8:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -sets her jaw- Canyou localize the signal Varel?

[8:45] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Sends the subspace screwyness as well.*

[8:45] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "..We were supposed to have gotten a new corticol stimulator...has anyone seen that box?"

[8:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Xyl assit if you are able

[8:45] [DOIC2] Shantal@Arnimane: -takes the time of review her personels..the few replacements she got...when she pauses on Una's file as she reads it at machine like speed in her inner mind-

[8:45] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Then starts working on seeing if she can match the subspace disturbances to possible comm frequencies.*

[8:45] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Starts looking at the distortations, focusing her attention now.*

[8:45] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Yes ma'am. Seems as it is artificial. Trying to focus in on what it is comming from."

[8:45] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel attempted to localise it.*

[8:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [val, xyl and varel all roll please

[8:46] [DOIC2] Shantal@Arnimane: Una even has her fighter on board....she seems committed to staying with us..let's hope she doesn;t have to find herself torn in her loyalities in the days to come...

[8:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alce] Jon hold here and brings us about..circular pattern on hold

[8:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [all rolls are to boost Xyl's scan :) ]

[8:47] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [vee roll s as wlel :)

[8:47] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Aye aye.

[8:48] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The Sentinel slows and commences a circular patern with a wide arc at warp

[8:49] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Hol dposition Jon...bt keep us moving

[8:50] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Hold position...but keep moving?

[8:50] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks back at Alice.*

[8:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -smirks- Circle Helm

[8:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Wide pattern...-chuckles-

[8:51] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon laughs.* Aye aye.

[8:51] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Odd Job] =^= Veeri...Marker Buoy 7 is good to go

[8:51] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Unidentified warp signature of sorts, be it fairly unstable. comming in from 310 and moving towards the black ocean on a course that will bring it fairly close to us if it does not alter course>

[8:51] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > current speed is about warp 4.2"

[8:52] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Thank you!" *She looks to Alice.* "Ready to launch the buoy on your order, Ma'am."

[8:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -shakes her head- =^= Alleycat to Roomie

[8:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Stand by Veeri..Varel take us to Yellow Alert

[8:52] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Intercept point is about ten minutes out."

[8:53] [DOIC2] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= Vwot ju got fer me Alleycat?

[8:53] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -nods to Xyl- Thank Xyl...well done all ..Val Varel maintain tracking....Veeri commence initial friend or foe signaling

[8:53] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel took them to yellow alert.*  "Curious, but much of this section of the LMC is uncharted, at least by us."

[8:53] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Commander Varel, I am unable to find a good enough match to the database of the warpfield type, possibly due to the instability, Do you recognize it?"

[8:53] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [ALice] =^= Well boss it seems we have someone out here with us...who doesnt know the rules of the road..intecept in ten minutes

[8:53] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Starting FOF signals, Commander."

[8:53] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I will attempt to identify it."  *She started running comparisons to other warp fields they'd encountered.*

[8:54] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri starts sending out her signals.*

[8:54] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -YELLOW ALERT_ signals on all decks

[8:54] [DOIC2] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= Inbound on our position or are be in pursuit?

[8:54] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -crew move to their read one alert stations-

[8:54] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "No answer so far. Will keep transmitting."

[8:55] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] =^= She looks to cut right across our bow Ma'am..she isnt trying to be sneaky either...traveling at warp 4.2

[8:55] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [alice] -nods t Veeri-

[8:55] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Elusive] -to Val as se curls up at her feet- Visitors?

[8:55] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Once it is closer, I can try a radio signal, even if I doubt someone who can push warp 4 only uses radio."

[8:55] [DOIC2] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= Understood.  On my way....

[8:56] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] see if her systems are sending any signalry back to its home port Veeri..maybe we can identify her that way

[8:56] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -steps out on the bridge and takes in the information-

[8:56] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Ma'am." *She starts more active scans, trying to snatch anything out of the sky.*

[8:56] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -nods- Captain

[8:56] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Hopefully nice Visitors."

[8:57] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] Be nice for a change...ACCI confrms there should not be anyone else ot this way that we know of

[8:57] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I am not reading any matches, however the signature is rather basic even by our standards.  It may suggest a less technologically advanced species."

[8:57] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Maintains vigil on the new signatures while looking for old signatures.  In case someone is trying to be sneaky.*

[8:58] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Should be able to gain a vissual now, ma'am."

[8:58] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Derek...relay to Alliance command we are being intercepted by an unknown vessel.

[8:59] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "This means radio could probably work for contact too, Captain, fi you want."

[8:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] -nods- Aye Captain -snds his encoded transmission-

[8:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -nods at Veeri's comment-

[9:00] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -to Veeri-  Transmit our standard neutral hails and request they indentify themsevles in an manner you think they will get.

[9:01] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Sending ou, Captain. They didn't respond to standard FOF so it's possible they don't have the tecnology." *Sends out the standart hail.*

[9:01] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Jon...move us a bit away from the bouy if we have deployed it already...

[9:01] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "We have not, Captain."

[9:01] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "No detection on weapons, basic navigation defelctors only. Four lifesigns, three weak. Trying to gain a better reading, ma'am."

[9:02] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Commander Alice wanted me to wait."

[9:02] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: The instead Jon....plot and intercept course...match the incoming speed..and drops us from warp within visual range.

[9:02] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Oh... I am picking up a very basic and simple tight beam subspace radio signal... Probably automated. Probable marker for location to what may be the ship's place of origin."

[9:03] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Aloce[ Xyl fee the course and speed directly to heln

[9:03] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Captain, if we want to contact them, we will have to use radio, it seems."

[9:03] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Val anyone else out here with us?

[9:03] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Opens up another screen to begin probable first contact protocals.  Getting ready to record all the new information.*

[9:03] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel closed her eyes for a meditative moment.*

[9:03] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Unknown species from the cross reference, carbon based, oxygen atmosphere." *Sends soem data to helm.* "Yes ma'am, Data sent."

[9:03] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Negative, ma'am. It is just us at the moment."

[9:03] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: The please do so Veeri...

[9:03] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Aye aye.

[9:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Keep an eye out for us Val...any movement feet directly to Varel

[9:04] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Will do."  Back to screening movement into and out of the area.*

[9:04] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Sends a radio call to the ship.*

[9:04] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Commander Varel, sending the data of the tactical systems... or lack of them I have picked up so far."

[9:04] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon plots an intercept course, accounting for matching the speed of the vessel.* Course laid in.

[9:05] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Execute Jon...

[9:05] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Understood, Commander."

[9:05] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Jon expertly glides the Sentinel out of its circular pattern and slides over to line up with their nw arrival as it begins to appear on screen

[9:05] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [ alien ship  https://imgur.com/U9kVHtP  ]

[9:05] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "...-That- did warp 4?"

[9:05] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "It looks no more advanced than the Bursali's first spaceship." *She smiles.*

[9:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -smiles- Wow...

[9:05] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Now we are in visual...drop us from warp...see if they matcch suit..if now prepair to pursue the vessel in a parrel course..matching speed.

[9:05] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel kept a sweep going for other ships or weird distortion in the area.*

[9:06] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Warp 4.2 with a unstable warpfield. Thre three weak lifesigns is with 97% probability stasis, the remaing seem to be a pilot."

[9:06] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: As Jon moves in close the alien ship does not alter course and continues on its heading ....-

[9:07] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Sending out a radio signal to them still."

[9:07] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Let the game of chicken begin.

[9:08] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: No chicken Jon..alter course..let them pas and prepair a parrel pursuit course.

[9:08] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: as Jon lines up to meet and fal into formation...there is finally a reactin...the ship jerks widly to the port and below the Snetinel n a wonlky clearly unplanned manuever

[9:08] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She arched a brow.*

[9:08] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The Sentinel rckets right above as the alien ship darts below

[9:08] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Euuuhrm..."

[9:09] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: There was no game of chicken..te other ship has clearly seen yu now however

[9:09] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well...

[9:09] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -in a low muse-  Whomever must had been to the same flight school...

[9:09] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Hm, looks like their visual seems greatly hampered."

[9:10] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -amused- I think we have been spotted

[9:10] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I am still transmitting, Captain, if you want to, I can bypass their systems and broadcast directly into their bridge...cockpit... thingy, but that would be considered a hostile action by most."

[9:11] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -looks back-  What do you mean..bypass

[9:11] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [hold pls]

[9:11] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Go straight into their systems and play our thingy on loudspeaker."

[9:11] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: How is that bypassing anything?

[9:12] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Jon swings the Sentinel around as ordered and enters a gentle pursuit of the off course ship

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [hold lifted]

[9:12] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Usually they are required to... "Pick up" our hail."

[9:13] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "You want to hack an alien ship as our first contact."  *She deadpanned.*

[9:13] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I have found the exact frequency they use... trying to contact again."

[9:13] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Derek] What is they didnt expect such a call? -smiles-

[9:13] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Let's stuck with that...I have nor intention is trying to be forceable in nature if it can be helped.

[9:13] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *She transmits on her new frequency.*

[9:13] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I don't, Commander Varel. I just said it would be -very- simple to do, if the captain decides on it."

[9:14] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I also advised it would be seen as a hostile aciton." *Glares at Varel.*

[9:14] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Then you already have your answer."

[9:14] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "They are losing speed."

[9:14] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -chuckles- They are pulling over?

[9:14] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "My job is to advise the captain about possible courses of action if they are decided on, so spare me your attitude, Varel."

[9:15] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Alice..lets get eyes out there on a close flyby..have Una and Wrongway try to close and get better visual with the vessel.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Lieutenant, that is enough."

[9:15] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice ] =^= Aye Captain -sends the order down to the flight deck-

[9:15] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Scoffs.*

[9:15] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alaina] =^= Understood Wrong Way and Una's fighter spinning up!

[9:15] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Keep matchin speed and maintaining our distance Jon...

[9:17] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Aye.

[9:17] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: What else cna we tell about the vessel and occupants?

[9:17] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Tries to trace the location the vessel had broacasted its radio signal to.*

[9:18] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: As Jon mantains matching the slowing down of their new friend....the hanger doors of the Sentinel part and open withthe grace of venus' calm shell

[9:18] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Unidentified cultural match. Lacks weapons. Rudamentary deflector shield for navigation. primintive sensors. >

[9:18] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > Four passengers, unknown carbon based species. Three in stasis, one pilot."

[9:18] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Can and backtrack an estimated origin point..or at least where the headed in from?

[9:18] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Wrong Way's Dragon and Una's Kzari fighter launch and fall into formationbehind Jon as he keeps pace withthe alien ship=

[9:18] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Doing it right now, Captain."

[9:19] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Lieutenant Stingray, Can you see if you can find a likely point of origin?"

[9:19] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Trackign it now."  *Begins working on the current trajectory from the information gleaned.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Vare was still obsessively running their tactical scanner.*

[9:20] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "I have a theory for communication, Ma'am."

[9:20] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I have a point of origin, Captain."

[9:20] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Based on the level, or lack there of, of the vessel, They may seek to slow down so the ycan stop focusing on piloting and actually handle the communications gear."

[9:20] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The little ship aburptly drops from warp

[9:20] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "It's a syst em near the abyss nebula."

[9:20] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: All ears -as she watch the figher draw closer in-

[9:20] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Grumbles as the numbers need to obey her will.*

[9:20] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Not one we appear to have knowledge of."

[9:21] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] She just dropped her warp field -winces-

[9:21] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Circle us back around and drop warp and close on thier posiiton

[9:21] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] That had to be a very rough stop

[9:21] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "They may simply not have FTL communication. Or so is the theory, ma'am."

[9:21] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Come little numbers, dance for me, dance."

[9:22] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Euhrm... Commander Xylvarenn? I radioed them on the exact frequency they use?"

[9:22] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Basically at Warp...radio ways would have to be in our patch to get...or we just outrun them.

[9:22] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: We'll be as sublight and we can try again...

[9:22] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Yes ma'am."

[9:22] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] They might be able to receive Veeri...but not sent ?

[9:23] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Captain, seems their point of origin is LMC-2019-31."  Checks refererences to see if the have anything on it.

[9:23] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "They should be able to, seeing that they broadcast all the way to their origin point in the abys nebula, while at warp."

[9:23] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon circles back around, dropping from warp and closing on the ship.*

[9:23] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Thus the fighter flyby Derek..to get into visual range and give us options there.

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] Nods- Right in the genral direction of Veeri's signal

[9:24] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: As the sentinel drops from Warp the pair of fighters do a very slow ballet like fly by of the ship

[9:24] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= -laughs warmly- She sees us allright

[9:24] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Wrong Way] -laghing as well- She sure as hell does

[9:25] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] She is surrounded by severl floating clipboards

[9:25] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: =^=*

[9:25] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Wrong Way] =^= Angling back Sentinel

[9:25] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel raised another brow.*  "Floating clipboards?"

[9:26] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= Species is purpe skinned...a biped i believe....with some form of appendages on her head ...that are flailing and floating

[9:26] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Takes one back.2 *she lightly smiles*

[9:26] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Sounds like they do not have artifical gravity.

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] I think it sounds like this poor soul is cnsulting manuels over there

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -nods to Shannie=

[9:27] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "The ship is flashing her lights. I think it's an attempt at communication."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "We could request she flare the rockets once for yes and twice for no until we can establish proper communcation."

[9:27] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The pir of fighters grqcefully swings back for yet anothe rpass-

[9:27] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Sounds like a pretty basic system."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Do we have the precise dimernsions of the vessel?

[9:27] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I will try and match their lights to the frequencies of the signal they were sending to their point of origin, try and decipher it."

[9:27] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: the lights on the smaller ship blink on and off rapidly

[9:28] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "They can receive, yes?  So it would be easy to simply ask for the one yes, two no system."

[9:28] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Yes ma'am. Sending the details to your console." *taps a few buttons*

[9:29] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Oh... this is not an.. .exact communication thing. They are just trying to get themselves noticed. I can do what Commander Varel asked?"

[9:29] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= Sentinel....n ot discerning any pattern to our light show here

[9:29] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Wrong way] =^= God damn...poor thing

[9:29] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Neither are we. This is just like... waving hands up and down."

[9:29] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= O ne must admit..it is not vithout its charm -amused-

[9:30] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Yes..."

[9:30] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Veeri....coordinate with the fighters..and try to teach whomevern some simply pulse and le's try to build from there.

[9:30] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Jon ha finally gently manuevered the ship nose to nose with their new friend out there-

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -smiles and shakes her head- Not what  expected this morning when i woke up...

[9:31] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Euhrm... Could you please keep to the front of their viewscreen thing and transmit the light signals I show you?"

[9:31] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "We will try and teach them simple ones like "Yes" "No" and "SOS"

[9:32] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Ma'am, If needed I could atempt to gve our new friend a bit of a nudge in the right direction to communicate with us.""

[9:32] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Curious.  Their backup engines appear to be powered by hydro fusion."

[9:32] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Wrong Way] =^= SOunds good Una and I will turn and flank your lights to support the first day of school here

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Seriously?

[9:32] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Will do, tell us when you are ready."

[9:32] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Therese...let give Veeri her shot here....

[9:33] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Yes ma'am."

[9:33] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Interesting power source.*

[9:33] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Indeed, Commander.  An intriguing choice."

[9:33] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The two fighters gently drift down to flank the sentinel as tacher veeri prepares her first lesson-

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -nods- Indeed..indeed it is

[9:33] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri first flashes yes, sending another radio signal too.*

[9:33] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: the fighters do the same in tandem.....

[9:34] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -- after a few long moments....the pilot over there seems to pick up on Veeris lead and seems to be adapting and learning

[9:34] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Still, one must wonder... were they heading toward the Black Ocean by design, or by lack of navigational ability?"

[9:35] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Could they be similar to the Yanda?

[9:35] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "They are getting it very well, Captain... Gonna teach them a few more." *She flashes various signals like "No" and "SOS".*

[9:35] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Keep at it..

[9:35] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: It is good they pick up on the new experiences quickly.

[9:36] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: as the fighters continue to assist the little ships polot keeps pace and seems to be fully understanding and followng Veeris lead...evn ffering litle variances here and there that must be of her

[9:36] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -looks at Alice- I can;t help but feeling deva ju here....like a Una flashback...

[9:36] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: peoples take on the signals

[9:36] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= Veeri..yo seeng this..she is adapting

[9:37] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] an Una? how so?

[9:37] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Yupp. She is doing very good. I am writing down the variations of the signals their people use too."

[9:37] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri moves on to a bit more complicated signals eventually, like "Status Report".*

[9:37] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: =^= "Commander Xylvarenn to CMO."

[9:38] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: ---the patterns slow..as the pilot tries to understand but seems lost by the changes this time

[9:38] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: -/\- Yes, how may I help you?-/\-

[9:38] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Wrong way] =^= Seeing some frustration over there now...-amused- she is sticking with it though

[9:39] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: =^= "Sending you some sensor data on our new friends, not a species we have seen before and beyond that they are carbon based and breath oxygen I am a bit at a loss."

[9:39] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri slows down as well, trying to walk them through it.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -to Varel-  does the vessel look to have any hatches our entry points?

[9:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Elusive] -to Val- Seems like these ar enice folks eh?

[9:39] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "I will slow down a bit and try to ease them through it."

[9:39] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She checked.*

[9:39] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: =^=I will take a look at it and see what I can make of it=^=

[9:40] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: =^= "Thank you, Xylvarenn out."

[9:40] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Escape hatch in the rear, pressure airlock the size of a shuttle hatch on the side."

[9:40] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I hope they are."

[9:40] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Donny] I have to admit this rally charming

[9:41] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -look over the dimension to see if it would fit in the shuttle bay-

[9:41] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --calls up the data on her PADD-- "I am surprised they made it this far out, they dont seem to know what they are doing."

[9:42] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Val..does thier hydrogen based backup power seem stable?

[9:42] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "But, then again who really does?"

[9:43] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Donny] Wel im sure we had days like this

[9:43] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Slowly helps, doing some medium-difficulty signals, before moving on to "Status report" again.*

[9:43] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "more than one Donny."

[9:43] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "too many to count."

[9:43] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -- and Veeri is being answered again as the little ships polot responds properly now

[9:43] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= Ahhh there ve go

[9:44] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Wrong Way] =^= Kids got smarts and guts

[9:44] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Therese, does thier hydrogen based backup power seem stable?

[9:44] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "humans at least had Vulcan to help guide us through the rough spots...Vulcans had...well logic and stuff."

[9:44] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Sweet! They are back in class!"

[9:44] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "They're great."

[9:45] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "They are stable."

[9:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Hard not to root for this kid

[9:45] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri teaches one or two more signals, then using her lights, asks for a status report.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *squirms lightly* "It seems so ma'am... at least for now."

[9:45] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -in morse code as if born to it..'Status good..Hello ship'

[9:46] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Una and Wrong way cheer over the coms-

[9:46] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -to Alice- We'll give the communcation effort a bit more time.. before bring them aboard.

[9:46] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= She got it

[9:46] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Yay! They are reporting status good and saying hello to us!"

[9:46] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "I see, thanks so much for the help!"

[9:46] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri signals a hello back, and signals "Friend".*

[9:46] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Blinky Blinky more now - 'Status Good.Hello Ship'

[9:47] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Veeri...see if they can indentify themselves and if they need assistance?

[9:47] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] I think Veri got through but ill alert Alaina

[9:47] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Alice alerts Alai na to prep the flight deck-

[9:48] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -the flight deck crew goes about preparing to recive the alien ship-

[9:48] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri signals "Identification. Help needed?"*

[9:48] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Wrong Way] =^= -chuckles0 now we can get her to shut up -amused-

[9:49] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alien Pilot ] -still due to her rolling a 1- 'Ship Good, I good! Hello Ship We are us and you?'-

[9:49] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alien Pilot ] -still due to her rolling a 1- 'Ship Good, I good! Hello Ship We are us and you?'-

[9:50] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I'm getting readings that they overheated their warp drive, forcing them to drop out of warp."

[9:50] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "They are saying they are good and don't need help, Captain... we are having a bit of trouble with identification so far, they have only identified themselves as "Us', but we'll work on it."

[9:50] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= -amused- Hrd not be charmed when she keeps waving at us each time she stops signalling ot us

[9:50] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri identifies themselves slowly using the alphabetic system to spell out "Sentinel."*

[9:51] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Dawwwww."

[9:51] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: ---- a pause

[9:51] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Ships flashes 'Antar 3'

[9:51] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: --- 'Hello Sentry'

[9:51] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "They are the ship Antar 3."

[9:51] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "I feel like maybe this kid took the keys to dad's car and went for a joy ride."

[9:52] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Flashes out.* "Radio ok? Can talk radio."

[9:52] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Donny] -chuckls- Yes I like ot think Buz Adrin or Jon Brbaker wouldve handled ths better

[9:52] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Are we able to ascertain if her species can survive with the air content aboard this vessel?"  *She looked at the science nerds.*

[9:53] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Sery...and references to Antar 3 or Antar?

[9:53] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I cannot really answer that question do the fact we do not know anything about them."

[9:54] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I had assumed you would be able to get a basic biological scan from this close proximity."

[9:54] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Our air and thier air seem very similar, Part of the differention may even be that they are usign a very primitive air resyceling system."

[9:54] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sery] Yes one...Eirene has one mention of a Antar class Explorer cruiers once use by the Bursali prior to the last war

[9:54] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "..it seems like any warp capable species planning on coming out this far would have devised a system for communicating with alien species if they encountered them.."

[9:54] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Carbon based lifeform."

[9:54] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "I am somewhat more worried of what sudden gravity may do to them."

[9:54] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "unless they never planned on comming out this far."

[9:55] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She nodded to Therese.*  "There are precautions we can take if she is brought aboard."

[9:55] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Nods in turn to Varel.*

[9:55] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Donny ] -chuckles- Maybe your hot rod theory is holding some water eh?

[9:55] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Hmm...they do not look Bursali though...

[9:55] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Perhaps an offshoot of their race?"

[9:56] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Antar may be what they call their home system. I am currently asking them if we can talk on radio."

[9:56] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "maybe..."

[9:56] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Signals again.* "Radio good? Can talk radio."

[9:56] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -look at the bridge crew-  Any recommendation before we just out new friends loose and continue on our way?

[9:56] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [from Una's flight recorder an iamage of the pilot  https://imgur.com/2Z3JPsl  ]

[9:56] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She blinked a moment.*  "Protocol would indicate we proceed with first contact procedures, Captain."

[9:56] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I... think we should at least try and talk to them more in detail first, Captain? This seems to be a huge thing for them."

[9:56] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [though she is waving still and smiling[

[9:57] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "I would be curious to why the yare heading right in to the black ocean, Ma'am."

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice[ -smiles to shantal- They are warp cpable skipper

[9:59] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= Sentinel...she is launching a...-chuckles more- a tethered drone at us

[9:59] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Awww, she is launching a small tethered drone!"

[9:59] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: a little circular drone lifts off from the Antar 3 and floats closer to the two fighters-

[9:59] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Lovely! This may be like a primitive comms buoy... let me check."

[10:00] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Checks to see what kind of signals exactly the drone transmits, if any.*

[10:00] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "It is a comms drone! Captain, I believe we can contact them now, may I try?"

[10:00] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: ".. what was this her high school science project?"

[10:00] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Might be a good oppritunity to direct them in the right direction.  Going into the Black Ocean might be a bad idea."

[10:00] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Donny] -laughs warmly- I .I dont know

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] No way that craft can survive a trip even near the ocean

[10:01] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "..it is charming and all, but I worry about her. This is sort of a rough neighborhood."

[10:01] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "It is possible they do not have the technological capability to detect it."

[10:01] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Yes... what is a craft like that doing, going right for the black ocean at speeds rendering their warp bubble unstable, without means to communicate?"

[10:02] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "We are getting a high speed digital broadcast frequency now... we can talk to them just fine if we want to."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: The back to standed comm and indenfitying oursself and asking them same from them...

[10:04] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Sery is trying to get us a visual, but we have audio, Captain."

[10:04] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "If you want me to put you on."

[10:04] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -The fighters elmet cams show a energetily desperate little astronauts rifling through her manuels trying to patchowkr something-

[10:04] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Please...

[10:05] [DOIC6] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Una] =^= Our little friend is getting creative it seems

[10:05] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Hi, I'm Veeri, I will put you through to our captain!" *She speaks as she sets the connection up, then puts the Captain on.*

[10:06] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel gave Alice a look as she heard Veeri.*

[10:06] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: brief second the main viewscreen has a close up of the harried little astronaut nd a high ptiched squeak as she hears Veeri's bradcast- Okay I...-transmission cuts off-

[10:07] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= This is Captain Arnimane of the Federation vessel USS Sentinel..we are here representing the Dawn Alliance and as you identify yourselves.

[10:07] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Idly rubs her neckspots as she watches the sensor readouts*

[10:07] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -back to the figher feed as the pilot is onc emore frantically working on her patchwork-

[10:07] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Euhrm, Captain, I think they are having connection issues."

[10:07] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I think we could help them with a drone of our own?"

[10:08] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -more fantic patchworking over in the tiny cockpit and flailing for tools-

[10:08] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Do what we cna to facilite communcation.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Begins scanning their systems to see what the technical difficulty is.*

[10:08] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -smiles to Shantal- This kid is not havi ng a good day

[10:09] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "The training given to their astronauts leaves something to be desired."

[10:09] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Veeri to engineering, please set up small comms drone specialzied for radio communications and send it between us and the other ship, I will send you the frequency you need to use."

[10:09] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri sends what she and the alien used for their communications before the cut-off.*

[10:12] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Odd Job] =^= A class IV probe should do it

[10:13] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Sweet, thank you! Just tell me when it's prepped for the launch."

[10:15] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Tries to reconfigure systems in order to help recieve and treanslate the signal.*

[10:16] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Thank you!" *Looks to Shantal.* "Comms probe can launch on your order, Captain."

[10:16] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Please proceed...

[10:17] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -more rewriring and patchwork in the alien cokcpit-

[10:17] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *She sends the probe out inbetween the ships and activates it, checking the connection.*

[10:17] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The class IV probes arrives before the sentinel and in between the two fighters

[10:17] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: faster than light travel...with a soup can communcation system...

[10:18] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -smiles- I am thinking we just arent on her 7G network Roomie

[10:18] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "It's still an admirable effort from them."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Hrm, seems like we're both doing something wrong."  *Goes back over her configurations and tries to see where they went wrong.*

[10:18] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Now... let's do a comms check using our probe."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri signals the other ship with her lights to radio again.*

[10:19] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The little alien seems to patc her drone and move it closer to the class IV probe

[10:19] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: It is..but the LMC is not a forgiving place.

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Main Viewscreen] -fills with static but a happy cheery voice can be heard- Hello??? Hello Sentry??

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -with the last push from Veeri and Val the little astronaut appears on screen-

[10:23] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Donny] Bless her heart...

[10:23] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri smiles and gives her a happy wave.*

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] Ma'am..yes Ma.am...we are on course to the distant system of Ataba on the shores of the seaof nothing

[10:24] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *She starts making some small changes to the UT.*

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] does not wave as sh eis at attention for Shantal-

[10:24] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= So you are aware of this Sea of Nothing..and its perils.

[10:24] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: "the kid has heart, I will grant her that."

[10:25] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -nod sonc- M'am Yes Ma'am..our scientists have been studying it for years...we have noticed a drop off in its intesity and that systm was deemed safe enough to explore as to why ma'am

[10:26] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -listen and waits for Lissia to finish-

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia[ The Ataba system is one of or most clear stars and has always represented as a symbol of safe overwatch..it ironically fit our mission needs ma'am

[10:27] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= If you do not mind me saying..you do not look like a big bear...

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -the adjust UT shows the astronauts body langauge as showing immense respect for Shantal's age and rank and postion-

[10:28] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She looked briefly at Shantal with that.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -smiled and giggled and then immediately stiffled it going back to her military bearing though her voice warm- No ma'am..I am jjust a pilot I am no angel.

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] -quirks a brow at the las tpart-

[10:29] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Smiles gently.*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= You stated that you did not need any assistance..and it clear you have a purpose and an idea of what you may encounter.

[10:30] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Types something out on her console rapidly.*

[10:32] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Donny] -smiles to Spencer- they sound like we used to back in the day

[10:32] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= It is am admirable goal...and we would not keep you from it...but I do have something for you to consider as an alternative that may weild even more discovery.

[10:33] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -almost bounces in her chair's cockpit tohouh strapped in, she catches herself though ad returns to attention immediately- Ma'am?? I am of course listening ma'am!

[10:34] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Elusive] -smiles and looks up to Val and says softly- Hard not to like this one

[10:34] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= We are sendin your coordinates to the Artesia system...where you will find Citadel station.

[10:34] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --smiles and laughs-- "I suppose, I do sort oremember being that naive and inexperienced."

[10:35] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Nods to Elusive.* "Good to see more explorers in space.*

[10:36] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= It is a place where many meet..and share together.

[10:36] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -returns to her position of attention- I would be very much in your debt Captain...thank you -is fighting to hold back something-

[10:38] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel brushed her hair behind her ear, her expression an impassive resting bitch face as always.*

[10:38] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= you may find the voyage yields far more discovery and potential than you can envision...something to consider.

[10:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -beams and nods n proper gratitude- Ma'am..ye sma'am..thank you Ma'am..we would be honored to do so

[10:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lisia] I will of course have to awken m ymission commander to seek his permission but the location would be appreciated

[10:40] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Nods back and sends the data needed over to the Antar 3.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -watches to a console offscreen as the alien data is uploaded to her her eyes are sheer beaming with energetic happiness and excitement bt she holds erself reseved on screen0

[10:41] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= If you would like to meet..we could arrange to bring your vessel aboard for a visit.

[10:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissa] -snaps her head over to look at shantal and her look and bod language can only be interpreted as /overjoyed/ that shantal as a commanding officer understood her..an alien undertood!-

[10:43] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Smiles happily.*

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] With permissing Captain..may i say that pleasure to meet you woul dbe nothing less than dynamic!

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [alice] -beams at this-

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [elusive[ -smiles happily and looksup at Val at this-

[10:44] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= We will make the arrangements them..would you want to..wake the rest of your friends up prior..to talk things over and get ready?

[10:44] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel quietly sent Morten and friends to the shuttle bay to ensure it's secured as per protocol.*

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -nods- Yes Captain..that would be protocul if we were at se..but the awkening procedure will take our computer a day to do so..I am ale to speak fo rus until my mission commander is able to

[10:47] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= Yes..we can accommodate you.

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] We have a primary airlock to the strboard side of our lab

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -smiles at this=

[10:49] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Captain? I can light up the back lights and the approach to the hangar bay doors to make their approach easier?"

[10:49] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -blinks her silver upon silver eyes once an then twice- You are able to...um..-recovrs- yes Ma'am....that will be fine. If you ssend me your flight protoculs i can fly the Antar 3 in

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] Yes ma'am..do you need our structural strong points for your grppling line?

[10:50] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Varel..please tractor our new friends in.

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -nods- Aye Captain..Alaina is gonna love this

[10:50] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel nodded, attempting to get a lock on the ship with their tractor beam.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= That will not be necessary Lissia..but thank you.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Gets the first contact packet ready for their new guests.*

[10:51] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -mutes the comm-

[10:51] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alaina] -grins- Okay folks..clear the decks...i want this treated ass a ful diplomatic mission..ful protoculs

[10:51] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Veeri..did you see her...fly?  I not tempting fate here..will bring her in...

[10:51] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Sorry, Captain."

[10:52] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Maybe we can have Commander Jon give her some lessons?"

[10:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] smiles nad begins gthering up her manuels and and readjusts her coverall like flightsuit her head tentacles flitting about energetically as she wworks-

[10:52] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "That is not part of first contact procedure, Lieutenant."

[10:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -chuckles- Alaine is clearing the flight deck as we speak

[10:52] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I know? But it would make her feel welcome and happy?"

[10:53] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -unmutes-  WE may loose you communcation set uop...as you might want to retract before landing.

[10:53] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "They are ready on the flight deck, Captain."

[10:53] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -to Veeri-  Bring our drone back in when Lissia starts to bring her cable set up back.

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Lissia] -nods- Yes Captain! Retracting comdrone Sali in now

[10:54] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Well..that was fast...

[10:54] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -the little tethred drone begins its brief journey back to the Antar 3-

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] well its not like they were over worked down there until now boss

[10:54] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I had requested Lieutenant Morten to arrive when you made your intentions known, he may have given them advanced warning."

[10:54] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Captain." *She also starts bringing their own drone in.*

[10:55] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Morten] -has his team st up for a diplomatc detail.white phaserholsters and whit duty gloves-

[10:55] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Derek..let Alliance command know the situation..and flag the Anrite Naval Force as non hostile.

[10:56] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Veeri's drone is quickly reovered as Wrong way and Una move clear of the soon to e rriving tractor beam-

[10:56] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Stand us down from yellow alert.

[10:56] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Derek] Aye captain.sending this and the log excerpts?

[10:56] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Captain, we are still in some proximity to the Black Ocean... I would recommend remaining on yellow alert for the time being."

[10:56] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Yes Derek.

[10:56] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Captain? I can send Mr. Falco the table of light signal their people use to upload to the ACCI. Will make further contacts with their people much easier."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "As well as the UT data."

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] -does as ordered sending the encypted log enteries as well- That will be helpful Captain

[10:57] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: I suspect out friend here had contact with Bursali in their past...it look they aare using their technology or replcated it.

[10:57] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "The ship looks kinda similar, doesn't it?"

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Nods- I did pickup on it as well...though their design is less artful more...bulky

[10:58] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -to Veeri-  Dereke sending the mission logs..so all the communcation work is part of it already

[10:58] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Captain."

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] -nods to Veri- send it to my station please Veeri ill input it as protocul for future contact

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Xyl?

[10:59] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: I noticed something...when I mentions big bear...she made reference to ..angels.

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -looks over to her friend-

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Bear angels -to shantal-

[10:59] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Did they have contact with Bursali?"

[11:00] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Nodnods to Derek and does so.*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "There are more unusual references to the appearances of what species consider 'angels.'"

[11:00] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Ma'am?"

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] -smiles to Veeri- Thanks

[11:00] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --laughs as she listens to the bridge feed-- "Bear angels...cute teddy bear idea."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Yes... maybe when the bursali was still spacefaring during the last war, they fought over hese people's homeworld."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Maybe they are fuzzy cute wings...I dunno..it is clear there is some shared association.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Awwwww... I would love a fuzzy cute winged bursali."

[11:01] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -to Xyl- am i wrong or did Veeri's update to the UT indicate they are more comfortable..these Anrites in non verbl communication? or am I crazy?

[11:01] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "It also explains their world being named after one of the bursali's ships, Captain."

[11:01] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Nodnods to ALice.* "Doctor Xylvarenn advised me to do that."

[11:01] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Their primary comunication seem to be sign language or fine manipulation of their 'tentacles', Ma'am."

[11:01] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: and the place they were heading toward to...a Bursali base

[11:01] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Donny] Might be a big hit with our little friend out there

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -smiles to Xyl- fascinating...ive never encountered a race doing tha tbefore

[11:02] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: It does explain Therese why they are so physcially expressive

[11:02] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Don't the yanda kinda do things with their tentacles when out of suit, Commander?"

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [alice] -to shannie] Ataba..was a bursali base...ancient Bursali?

[11:02] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "I have, First contact mission many years ago."

[11:02] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Yes..ancient from times of the old war.

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] a littel veeri..Ynera has tried to tach me but the yanda are very vebal underwater

[11:03] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Nods ot Alice.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] t- XYl- Oh Which race ma'am? -genunely interested-

[11:03] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel just went back to obsessively scanning in case they had to defend the smol pupper.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -to Shantal- Leftover legens maybe?

[11:04] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Your dad was there. Did he ever speak of the Vilantar, Lieutenant?" *To Derek*

[11:04] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Perhaps...we'll see if Alliance reps want to open a dialog while we have them as our guests.

[11:04] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Imagine if they get to meet the bursali? That would be so cute."

[11:05] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Commander Xylvarenn, vessel on the edges of our LRS.  Sending you the coordinates."

[11:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] -beams and nds= yes did he ever.he said of the mission it was one of those missions tha tmakes you really glad to be in starfleet

[11:05] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "They do not appear to be moving in our direction."

[11:05] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Blinks at what Varel says and tries to see if her scans have any additional signals.*

[11:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -looks to Shannie at Varels commnt- we arent alone any more

[11:05] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "It really was... Understood, Stingray see if you can help me get a better looks." *She starts scanning*

[11:05] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: It might be..but not funnly understanding thier association and understanding Veeri..I thought it best to not mention Bursali openly

[11:06] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Getting a better look, now."  Tapping on the console super quick.

[11:06] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Captain... also, not seeing any signals from the Vessel Commander Varel found."

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [val roll...xxyl roll]

[11:06] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Captain, should I start bringing the ship in?"

[11:07] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: We are just a regular welcoming commity today...

[11:07] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: back to yellow alert...

[11:07] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "...I had not ended yellow alert, Captain, you never responded to my assertion that it should remain active."

[11:07] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Quirks her brow.* "Captain I am detecting the energy signature of a Chantry vessel."

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Hold]

[11:09] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Bring the vessel aboard.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "It does not seem to be aware of us, yet."

[11:09] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Bring ...-stops and smiles to shantal-

[11:09] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel nodded and started reeling in the tentacle lady's ship.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Ew... Chantry."

[11:09] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "I hate chantry."

[11:09] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] -nods- darn right ...eww

[11:09] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Enough...

[11:10] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Let us keep a professional tone... or attempt to do so at the very least."

[11:10] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: The Federation was not always on peaceful terms with new species.

[11:10] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Gives Varel a look that says "Those people meteor bombed a planet!" but keeps quiet.*

[11:10] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Varel snags and guides the small anrite ship gently into the sentinels hanger bay and lightly sets her down. Once settled...Alianas crew secure the ship with inside bay tractors to hold her in place

[11:11] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Each encounters can be an opportunity to bring us closer to understanding and a peaceful way forward.  That is what is expected of us.

[11:11] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Seeing our new friends' ship in shuttlebay, Captain, all secure."

[11:11] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: not allowing the space only ship to roll to precent it from being damaged. Morten and his team move to the arilock and form u to await further orders-

[11:12] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Dawkins] =^= Bridge the Antar 3 is docked and secured

[11:12] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Chantry vessel so far does not seem aware of our presence, ma'am."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= Understood..we have a second unidenfied..looking to possibly be Chanrty..make our guess comfortable and secure in the hanger for now.

[11:13] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "It is moving on a course taking it slowly away from us."

[11:13] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] still though..I wonder what the hell they are doing so close to Kzari space

[11:13] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Bring our fighters back in....

[11:13] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alaina] =^= Aye captain...we will be downright hospitia....um...seems like they are opening up

[11:14] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Probably looking for a way to cause trouble."

[11:14] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Alice..what is the current poltical stand of the Alliance with the Chantry?

[11:14] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Morten] -herng shantal rushes to the airlock to wave Lissia to stay in the hatchway as his team moves out of the way as they plan to recove rthe fighters-

[11:14] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Is their path taking them to the same area we were to be dropping additional buoys?"  *She looked at Xyl.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] the relatonship is tense at best...they mass drived Acrima..but then the Adagio oblierated their base that initated the attck

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Elusive] -nodnod st vals comment-

[11:16] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: We are on patrol to keep these lanes secure....Veeri..challenging hail...indenfitying ourself and asking thier id and intent.

[11:16] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] I would say tense is the best word currently

[11:16] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Captain."

[11:16] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "They are roughly in the area where we lanched hte previous bouys, Commander Varel."

[11:17] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Join..plot and intercept course and being to close the distance.

[11:17] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *She sends a challenge hail identifying the sentinel and requesting ID and intent of the chantry ship.*

[11:17] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Interesting.  Is there any indication that they have discovered them?"

[11:17] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "If they have discovered them they seem to not care."

[11:17] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri checks the status of the last buoys she had launched while the hail was repeating.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She nodded, looking at her console contemplatively.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "The buoys haven't even been scanned, Commander Varel... they really don't give a darn."

[11:18] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Aye aye.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Indicating a mission of utmost importance... or they simply do not care if they are seen."  *A pause.*  "Or they want to be seen."

[11:20] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Derek...alert the Citadel we made contact with a possible Chantry vessel..no id or communcations yet.

[11:20] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Derek] Aye captain -does as ordered-

[11:20] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Widens the scans to see if any more Chantry ships nearby or lurking.*

[11:21] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: JOn swivles the ship around and leps back into warp and closes on the chantry cruiser-

[11:21] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] One thing is for surethe cantry is fond of playing games

[11:21] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Once the ship is into warp and closing in, she does another scan to try and catch signals.*

[11:22] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel kept her scans going as well.*  "And of disregarding alien life."

[11:22] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "We are being hailed back, Captain."

[11:22] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Wait, wrong sector..." *Grumbles.*

[11:23] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [wow you guys and these rolls :P]

[11:23] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: As Jon guides the ship closer the Chantry cruise r is now visible onth eman viewscreen

[11:23] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: but them on Veeri

[11:23] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [ https://imgur.com/0UhJNDU ]

[11:24] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Veeri puts teh hail on screen.*

[11:24] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She squinted at the dagger ship.*

[11:25] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -the main viewscreen is then centered on a raisde throne like command cair with red and gold lovely velvet drapes adorened behind it. A lovely Chantry sister, leans back with an almost feline grace

[11:25] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: crosses her lovely long legs and smiles-

[11:25] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Gives the sister a cautious, unsure wave.*

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Sister] -a soft weclomgin gourr to her voice- Why Hello Cptain...-smiles a lovely sensal grin to Veeri and waves back to her-

[11:26] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel quietly checked to see if the dagger ship's weapons and shields were powered.*

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sister] I am Sister Lina..how can I help you this evening?

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -scowls at this performance-

[11:27] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Looks back down to her console to not let the devil women work their charms.*

[11:27] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= Greetings Sister Lina...I am Captain Arnimane of the Sentinel, but I suspect you knew that already.  May I inquire the nature of your voyage here?

[11:38] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I suppose the suggestion to open for on them would be out of the way?"

[11:38] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *fire

[11:42] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Very."

[11:42] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Nods her head begrudgingly. The Kzari can be useful sometimes at least.*

[11:42] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: It is very convienent...can we make out thier heading...try to match it up to were our friend were trying to go earlier...

[11:43] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "They were moving away from the location where we encountered our guest, Captain."

[11:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Blinks- You think?

[11:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alic] to varel- btut what about their destination?

[11:43] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Ynera has confirmed that the Anrite ship is from LMC 2019-31 Ma'am."

[11:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] The abyss nebula is in between thier home system and chantry space

[11:44] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Project both encountered vessel courses...best estimate ahead toward the Black Ocean...

[11:45] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: ...put it up on tactical display..mainscreen..

[11:45] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Tries to trianglate where the Chantry could be heading.*

[11:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Val roll too]

[11:45] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Keeps looking for possible Chantry transmissions.*

[11:45] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel crunched a few numbers.*

[11:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: and val shorts out the tactical hologram-

[11:46] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Blinks, then flops back in her chair in defeat.*

[11:46] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Kill me now..."

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {alice] Val...enter it in again

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -chuckles-

[11:46] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Captain, the Anrite was on a direct route to Ataba... and it appears that the Chantry ship is also en route there."

[11:47] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Yes ma'am." Hops back to it.

[11:47] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Jon..casually alter our course to head in the direction of what we believe this Ataba is...

[11:48] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] Varel please feed that projected course to the helm

[11:48] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Derek..alter Citadel we are adjusting course to head to a believe location of Ataba...and possible ancient Bursali location...the Chantry and our guest were both heading there...

[11:49] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Aye aye.

[11:49] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon makes a subtle alteration to the Sentinel's course.*

[11:49] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Keep ios casual Jon..let the Chantry vessel slip ahead...

[11:49] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Jon expertly guides the Sentnel back onto her new course andheading completely undetected by Lina's ceriser

[11:50] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "They appear to be taking a rather roundabout route... it may take some time."

[11:50] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The Chanrty ship slip on head with the sentinels aleter course going unnotice

[11:50] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: *Lets out a squeaky yawn, stretching some.*

[11:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] I wonder...was i the system...or the Anrite they seek?

[11:50] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Casual as she goes...

[11:51] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: That is fine...postpone further bouy deployment for now...I would rather not alert them to that effort.

[11:51] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] shall we cloak roomie?

[11:51] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Go job Jon...

[11:51] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "One must wonder how differently today - and the rest of her people's futures - might have gone had the Chantry encountered them instead of us."

[11:52] [DOIC1] Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon1: "Much much much worse than they are going to develop now."

[11:52] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: It is the Chantry we are talking about..and we still on patrol...so we have to be visbile.

[11:52] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I'm sure being twisted into following the Darkness would be on the agenda."

[11:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Derek] -nods to Varel- Yes a chilling thought

[11:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Alice] -nods- Understood Captain.steady as she goes helm

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -alic esmiles proudly at Jon-

[11:53] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Maintain the alert status as the Chantry cannot be confirmed as non hostile.

[11:54] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Thank you ma'am. *Jon smiles over at Alice.*

[11:54] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Yes, Captain."
