Pilgrim 1/10

[8:38] [DOIC5] Aellas@xemion1111: Back when she could pretend hitting them whistle tones better~

[8:38] [DOIC5] Aellas@xemion1111: oh

[8:58] [DOIC] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: The Star Trek: Pilgrim theme plays....

[8:59] [DOIC] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: After the standard title sequence, the camera zooms in on T'Pang...

[8:59] [DOIC] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *begins* :D

[8:59] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *quietly beep boops*

[9:02] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's Log Stardate 94137.94. The crew is attempting to cope with the ill effects of our last mission. Normally I would have liked to give the crew some leave time but apparently Admiral Arak has >

[9:03] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Another mission lined up. We are expecting a holo-comm from his assistant any time now. Until then we  are holding position outside of the Epsilon Geminorum system. I am beginning to have my doubts >

[9:04] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: about Arak's leadership abilities. End Log.

[9:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li quietly operates his console, looking up at Aria every so often.*

[9:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Ops, send a message to all senior staff to assemble in the conference room."

[9:06] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Zem had been keeping her head down mostly since the recent happenings and she busied herself with her work, actually being rather diligent at it for once. She popped her head up as she was addressed-

[9:06] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: -* Yes Captain. *She typed away at her console, sending a notification to senior staff to report to the conference room as soon as possible.*

[9:07] [DOIC] Zem@Mouse43dz: *A message is sent out to all senior staff to report to the conference room ASAP.*

[9:07] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Looks at the notification* Ill be in a meeting on the bridge if anything pops up.

[9:07] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She gets up, and makes her way to the conference room.*

[9:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and turns back to his console with a soft sigh.*

[9:08] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Bridge.

[9:08] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Relaxes in the pilots seat, looking at the controls time to time

[9:09] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *quietly makes her way to the conference room and into a seat*

[9:10] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She waves at the other two in the Con Room*

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks around the bridge at the senior people who are just standing there.-- "I did mean for them to assemble immediately."

[9:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Am I refered to as senior staff, Ma'am?

[9:10] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Smirks a little and checks over the notifications before bobbing her way over to the conference room.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks to Illya and raises a brow- I didn't think I waws...

[9:11] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Smiles to Ilya and waves her to follow.* Darn tootin!

[9:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --enters the room with her snooty Vulcan supremecist attitude.--

[9:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li heads over to various consoles, his usual cheery demeanor is replaced by a more dour expression.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *flahses a momentarily smile and returns the wave*

[9:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Me nither, must be rather grim when the relief flightcontroler is "Senior staff" Lets go.

[9:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Come on now trill, Dont slack and dont stutter... Hurry up.

[9:12] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Oh, right.

[9:13] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: Notes that the half-Vulcan is trying to pretend to be Vulcan; his own ears tweak.

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --Tries to out Vulcan Sovek. With her eyebrow raise.--

[9:14] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: Crosses his legs and loogs... Logical.

[9:14] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: looks*))

[9:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --psuhes the button opening a channel to Arak's trained monkey.--

[9:15] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *a hologram of a woman appears on the circle in the center of the table*

[9:15] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Watches amazed as the monkey dances and plays music. Truly a remarkable age we live in.*

[9:15] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Commander Ashley Wallace, you are holocomm with my senior staff and myself."

[9:16] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: Good morning everyone.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Waves a little at the holocomm*

[9:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "what was so urgent Commander?"

[9:17] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] *smiles at the Captain* We've discovered an interesting anomaly that we'd like for you to check out. We wanted to give you some leave, but I think you'll agree that time is certainly of the

[9:17] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: essence with this one!

[9:18] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] This concerns a planet in the Delta Quadrant.

[9:18] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Is it going to explode?

[9:18] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] I hope not.

[9:18] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Me too...

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] In 2376, the starship Voyager encountered a planet which is called Tahal-Meeroj by its inhabitants.

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] The planet has a unique tachyon core. It's somewhat sped-up in time. A second here is a day there.

[9:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks annoyed.-- "With all due respect Commander after the last anomaly you ..." --She doesn't finish that.--

[9:20] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] Oh, this one is quite different, I assure you.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *tilts her head curiously.* That sounds quite troublesome to interact with..

[9:21] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] It has its... challenges. When slipstream was developed, we sent a ship to the Delta Quadrant to investigate the planet once again, but it was gone.

[9:21] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] We think it has an irregular orbit around the galactic core. Anyway, we found it again and we'd like you to investigate.

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --folds her hands,-- "I agree, such a time differential could prove difficult to deal with. What seems to be the source of the urgency?

[9:22] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] A long range probe has finally located it again. We'd like to see if the civilization there managed to persist.

[9:23] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: raises his hand. "That would be almost impossible."

[9:23] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Yeah....But why the urgency of it?

[9:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Very well Commander. But, under the circumstances I do not intend to send an away team down."

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] I agree, Captain. *turns to Sovek* Why might that be, Lieutenant?

[9:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *starts doing math on a padd*

[9:25] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: "For every ten point forty-five hours of real-time, a hundred years would within the planet's temporal displacement bubble; based on all mathmatical projections, no civilization could survive that +

[9:25] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: long in a similar state, nor, does that account for the very real geological and atmospheric issues that could come to pass in the thousands of years that they have been gone."

[9:25] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: That would be over 2 and a half million years since voyager visited from their perspective if they are around still wow.

[9:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "If the civilization did manage to survive, they could potentially be tremendously advanced by this point in time. But, I agree with the doctor's assessment it would be highly unlikely the >

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] It's a very interesting question, though. We've never had the chance to see what would happen with that type of development.

[9:26] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Was busy beeping away at her PADD, doing a little research on the subject of this planet.*

[9:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: could persist that long."

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] It might turn up something interesting, archeologically speaking.

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Perhaps."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: Being as Vulcan as ever he would place his hands atop the table. "In the two and a half million years that passed for them... Several of your species -- homo sapiens sapiens -- have come and gone."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Being that far along if they are around it might explain you losing the planet. Maybe they moved it?

[9:27] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: According to the records.. they advanced enough to at least reach a level of technology to design some sort of temporal compensator which allowed them to join normal space-time.

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We will lay in a course and see what we find."

[9:28] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] That is correct, Ms. Seiloh.

[9:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Zem- has there been any recorded encounters with them to date Zem?

[9:28] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: "Miss Aria, with that level of advancement should they have survived? They would easily be on par with 'magical deities' of fiction if not entirely dead and replaced with a new species."

[9:28] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: I do wonder though. So are we going there because we want to see what technology they have, or how they are doing?

[9:29] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: nods to Cali.

[9:29] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *nods as she looks over some of the info on her PADD.* The USS Voyager was assisted by them when they had been caught up in their orbit.

[9:29] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes but i meant since that time Zem

[9:29] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: mmm.. *She shook her head a little as she looked further.* None that I see

[9:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: surely if they achieved space flight...they wouldve been seen more in the last two miliion of 'their years'

[9:30] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smirks at sovek* Are you worried we might be running into hyper time q like entities?

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] The first slipstream-capable ship we sent out there could find no trace of the planet. Or the system, for that matter.

[9:30] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *squirms and stares at Aria*

[9:30] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Maybe they like their privacy.

[9:31] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: "Logistically, space flight wold be entirely-" He looked to Aria and shook his head. "No, the mission seems akin to one of wanton wanderlust for something different when the science would suggest +

[9:31] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: For all we know captain...as the doctor mentioned...there might be another civilization evolved on this world by now...should prove interesting to study

[9:31] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Well perhaps if we are fotunate enough the species will have died out and this will be a nice quiet survey mission."

[9:31] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: until we encounter whatever has evolved there now

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] I am transmitting the data now regarding the current position of the system. With the aid of your slipstream, you should be there in the blink of an eye, so to speak.

[9:31] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: that they should either be dead due to killing each other over the limited resources of their planet due to the impossibility of space travel, or, natural disaster."

[9:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Then the train tends to go off the rails -smiles some-

[9:32] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: That seems rather dark to hope for the extinction of an entire species Captain.

[9:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she winces as she realizes what she just said.--

[9:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I mean...what could go wrong?

[9:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she sighs.--

[9:33] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: "I concur, Captain, this species would prove to be remarkably dangerous if still alive."

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] *smiles awkwardly at the Captain*

[9:33] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks down at the table hopeing she didnt PO the Captain*

[9:33] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Or as I said..wemight have a unique and new species to encoutner this time around

[9:34] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I tend to agree with the doctor if they are still there...we are...wemight not be able to even recognize the old civilization

[9:34] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] I'm so interested to see the outcome! *claps her hands together*

[9:34] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: "I would dread being a member of that species if so, Miss Valkriss; they would have no natural resources with them being previously used up by the earlier species."

[9:35] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] Admiral Arak has always said that this was his favorite ship. We all have so much faith in you.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It is hard to see such advancement in such a limited enviroment

[9:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and i am an optimist doctor...but i agree with you...we will find an empty home...or get stepped on rather quickly

[9:36] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Recycling Mr. Sovek unless they are feeding all usable metals into a matter anti matter reactor they are simply changing the forms and distribution of the resources.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Recycling would not replace mineral ore or planetary raw materials Aria

[9:36] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Most natural resources remain on the planet in one form or another unless you launch them off the planet, this does not include fosile fuels. However if millions of years has passed, new fossile fuel>

[9:37] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > has a possebility to be there?

[9:37] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: But the metal from refined ore doenst mysteriorsly disapear and if they have lasted this long who knows what they have.

[9:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -rubs the bridge of her nose-

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --She looks around.-- "This idle speculation is getting us no where."

[9:37] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] Only way to tell for sure is to get out there. *smiles politely*

[9:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I take it then we are to use an Iconian gateway to get there?

[9:38] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] Oh, slipstream should get you there quickly enough.

[9:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Indeed. Commander Wallace, we will report back once we know more."

[9:38] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] I suppose you can take the Iconian gateway in the sphere if you believe it would be faster. That's up to you.

[9:39] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It does require less resources

[9:39] [DOIC1] Sovek@xemion1111: Turned to the Captain and perked his Vulcan brow. "Vulcans do not speculate; there is a zero-point-five-five percent chance anything remains."

[9:39] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] That's true.

[9:39] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] Any questions for me before you begin your journey?

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "agreed the gateway would allow us to preserve our fuel supply."

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --glares at Sovek, then looks away.--

[9:40] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well lets hope your method at arriving at that number Doctor is flawed. *smiles*

[9:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -snarls softly and shakes her head-

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] Okay! If you have any further questions, you can give me a call. I have office hours all day.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: As long as this isn't some weird trap you're having us spring, I'm good.

[9:42] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Wallace] Oh, no, Lieutenant. *smiles sweetly* Definitely not that.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Then we will sure to be visting you on your office hours

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks around to see if anyone has any questions.--

[9:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -leans over to whisper to Ilya-

[9:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *listens to val*

[9:43] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *grins widely and shakes her head to val*

[9:43] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks and shakes her head to the Captain- I do not

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Very well, thank you for your time Commander Wallace." --she says it as she shuts off the holocomm.--

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks around the room-- "You ar all dismissed, return to your posts."

[9:45] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: On it, Boss.

[9:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --said with the utmost bitchyness.--

[9:45] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Set course for the Gateway captain?

[9:45] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Wallace waves and disappears*

[9:46] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She stands up and returns to her cubicle. Slightly more wary of her Genocidal Boss...And hoping a survey mission was never done on her planet by T'Pang.*

[9:46] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes commander Valkriss. Lay in a course for the gateway."

[9:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to Ilya to get that underway- Warp 7 Ilya

[9:46] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Whare is said gateway?

[9:46] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Boyd comes up behind Zorin* HEY BUDDY!

[9:46] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *returns to her post*

[9:46] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks over at Boyd.* Hi.

[9:47] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] I'm looking for a scoop. Got anything good?

[9:47] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks to her- The Dyson Sphere gateway..Azure sector...you cant miss it

[9:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Uhhhh...no. I wasn't a part of the meeting.

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --grinds her teeth.--

[9:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: The dyson sphere, go it.

[9:48] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] I heard the whole ship had to tell the truth for a few hours, and everything went to hell.

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: **got it

[9:48] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: We are going on a planetary survey. Prep the slipstream drive in case the Captain wants to use it after we hit up the gateway

[9:48] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she remains seated waiting for the room to clear out.--

[9:48] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Aye. *He looks over to Boyd.* I'm kinda busy...but yes, there was some sort of phenomenon that caused that.

[9:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -waits a moment for Zem-

[9:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: And there's your next scoop...planetary survey. *He says as he walks over to another console.*

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Oh well. Would you do an interview for the FNN later?

[9:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: About what?

[9:49] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: THe result of this survey may be newsworthy Miss Boyd.

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] The strange phenomenon.

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Oooh.

[9:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: No.,

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Aw, come on. It'll be fun, Zorin.

[9:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah. No.

[9:50] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --as the room clears she stands up and leans on the table.--

[9:50] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Boyd frowns*

[9:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* Sorry, but you're not getting that one out of me.

[9:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You can talk to me about anything else.

[9:50] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *the table does not move*

[9:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -waches the captain a moment-

[9:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain?

[9:51] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Sees Eldax and gets up again* The dyson sphere, Azure sector, Warp 7

[9:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks up toward Valkriss.--

[9:51] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] A planetary survey, hmmmmm?

[9:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Are you...well?

[9:51] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yup.

[9:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Prepping the slipstream drive for a possible depature.

[9:51] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] In that case, I better go speak to the Captain.

[9:51] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Following in voyagers footsteps. *smiles*

[9:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *departure

[9:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You should.

[9:52] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] I'll see you all soon!

[9:52] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Bye Ann.

[9:52] [DOIC1] [email protected]: *nods to the cadasian*

[9:52] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Boyd smiles and walks off*

[9:52] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: Are you...well?

[9:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Slipstream looks green.

[9:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glares at Valkriss.-- "I'm fine." --she growls. then her expression softens.-- "I apologize commander, thank you for your concern."

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Engage at will.

[9:53] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --the stress seems rather apparent on her face now.--

[9:53] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: -quirks a brow at the glare and growl but nods- Indeed...I only thought to ask. That is unless you were just flirting with me -said gently but with some concern-

[9:53] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --the stress seems rather apparent on her face now.--

[9:53] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Good.

[9:54] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: Which would then be another level of concern

[9:54] [DOIC4] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Pratt walks into Sovek's office with a smile* Hey there, Doc.

[9:54] [DOIC1] [email protected]: ** shrugs and  Hits the button wondering why  She could not manage a asimple task like that before he got here,

[9:54] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she shakes her head-- "Commander Valkriss I need you to assume command. I need to report to sickbay."

[9:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li lowers his voice to only she can hear.* You didn't have to sleep in the living room. I could have done that.

[9:54] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: Aye captain...slipstream to the planet's coordinates once we pass through the gateway?

[9:54] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: looked up from his work to Pratt, giving him a nod. "Have you any idea why we are being sent on a mathmatically improbable mission?"

[9:55] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *takes the bridge chair as she is the only senior officer on the bridge who actually know what they are doing, and no one else held the bridge*

[9:55] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs*

[9:55] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: **Almost senior officer

[9:55] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "yes, remember we need to avoid sending an away team to the planet. That would prove risky."

[9:55] [DOIC4] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] Not really. You're not happy with the mission, though? *he leans on the desk*

[9:55] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: Agreed...Ill get us there Captain

[9:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Please don't punish yourself because of my stupidity.

[9:56] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Boyd leaned on the rail on the bridge*

[9:56] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: -then softer- I am sure the Doctor will be able to assist you ma'am

[9:56] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nod-- "Thank you Valkriss."

[9:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks at boyd* Yes?

[9:56] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Oh, I'm just hanging about, wanting to sp-- oh Commander.

[9:56] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: raised his left brow. "I am a Vulcan, I am neither happy nor upset about this mission; the numbers simply spell it out to be something for a ship of lesser operation to handle." His eyes would +

[9:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -enters the bridge- Status?

[9:56] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: flicker down to a PADD at his desk.

[9:57] [DOIC4] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] *smirks mischeviously* You sound annoyed.

[9:57] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she slinks out of the conference room and through the bridge to the lift without a word.--

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Lieutenant eldax is laying in our course, ma'am

[9:57] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Deck 3"

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Boyd sees the Captain leaving, and turns her attention to Valkriss with eager eyes*

[9:57] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Assume tactical for now Lieutenant

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yes ma'am

[9:57] [DOIC1] [email protected]: Corection   were allready under way ,

[9:58] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I dont want to talk about it right now we are on duty Li.

[9:58] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "It is quite common for humans to presume such." He'd look upward toward Pratt yet again. "Truly, however, I am fine; is there something you needed though?"

[9:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.*

[9:58] [DOIC4] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] Oh, I'm just hanging about. There's not much for me to do on this mission anyway.

[9:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to Eldax- Helm increase speed to warp 8 and recalculate ETA

[9:59] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she wanders into sickbay looking stressed.--

[9:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Ops alert the sphere gateway we are enroute with priority clearance

[9:59] [DOIC4] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: (( Sickbay in general = DOIC2, Office in sickbay = DOIC4

[9:59] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she wanders into sickbay looking stressed.--

[9:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Slipstream is ready should it be needed.

[9:59] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she wanders into sickbay looking stressed.--

[9:59] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "Concurred; if some species survived the millions of years that this planet has undergone? It would be quite strange."

[10:00] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Good I dont think they will ask but I like keeping options open.

[10:00] [DOIC4] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] You might find some fossils, or something.

[10:00] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: A nice getaway option if things go wrong, too.

[10:00] [DOIC2] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *A nurse walks up to the Captain* Hello, ma'am. How can I help?

[10:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -snarls some- Ilya, alert the sphere gateway we are enroute with priority clearance

[10:01] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glares at the nurse.-- "I need to speak with Doctor Sovek.." --she says with a growl.--

[10:01] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Especially when we are way out in the delta quadrant.

[10:01] [DOIC2] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Nurse] Oh, um. He's in his office, ma'am. I'm sure he'd be okay with you just going in.

[10:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and find out why Mr Pratt is not at his post for the watch

[10:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yes ma'am

[10:01] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "I am a xenobiologist, not an anthropologist... My work would likely include reviewing any medical data should they still be... In anyway capable of review."

[10:01] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You didn't have slipstream when you were in Gamma Quadrant, right?

[10:01] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she turns and heads into the office.--

[10:01] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *the Gamma Quadrant

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Commander, I have a very quick question for you.

[10:02] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Tries to open a channel to the spehere*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Very well

[10:02] [DOIC4] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Pratt turns to look at the Captain* Hello ma'am!

[10:02] [DOIC1] [email protected]: We can hope the romulans wil exaccept that ,,,    ETA fifteen minuets,  assuming we follow regs  on approach

[10:02] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Could I be present on the bridge to cover this event?

[10:02] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: looked over to T'Pang. "Can I help you, Captain?"

[10:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -narrows her eyes at Eldax-

[10:02] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she stands at the door, looking a lot less than calm. She ignores Pratt.-- "Doctor I need to speak with you."

[10:03] [DOIC4] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] In that case, ma'am, I'll just vacate the premises... *he slinks out*

[10:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: We are allies to the Republic Mr Eldax and i am sure as skilled as a pilot you are, that you will follow assigned approach protoculs

[10:03] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: was, as usual, a pillar of Vulcan stoicism. "Then feel free to speak at one's leisure; Mister Pratt, I can speak to you later if you wish."

[10:03] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I wasnt on board then but I dont think so.

[10:03] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I was part of the replacement crew when they made it back.

[10:03] [DOIC1] [email protected]: Beter than moast  Commander,

[10:04] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Sends the ETA, Intent of using the spehere and priority clereance to the sphere command*

[10:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I see no reason why not Ann, -looks back to her- The captain can override that but until then by all means

[10:04] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --Her eyes narrow suspiciously as she watches Pratt leave.--

[10:05] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Boyd seems bouncy with glee*

[10:05] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Bridge to mr pratt

[10:05] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks back to Eldax- then standard approach upon arrival helm.

[10:05] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "What can I help you with, Captain?"

[10:06] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: =/\= Pratt here, go ahead.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Explain your deviation from your assigned scheduled post.

[10:06] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I seem to ba a psychological issue." --she pauses she seem embarrassed.-- "I fear I may have some sort of severe neurochemical imbalance."

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: =/\

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] =/\= Stopped by Sickbay briefly. I'm en route to the bridge now.

[10:07] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: -she stops and takes in a few deep breathes, trying to center herself.--

[10:07] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ohhhh.

[10:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -scowls at that answer-

[10:07] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Understood. out.

[10:08] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Since the events of our last mission I have been finding it impossible to control my emotional responses."

[10:08] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: nodded slowly. "Pon farr would explain your current... 'Behaviour', though as a half-Human your condition shouldn't nearly be as immediately life threatening; I can perscribe some hormones to keep +

[10:09] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: it in check till we are able to return to the Alpha Quadrant, I presume you also have a mate?"

[10:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Should be a interesting survey. Its a palent that experiences time far faster than the rest of the universe.

[10:09] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *After some minutes, Pratt appears on the bridge*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Ma'am, The sphere has acknowladged our message.

[10:09] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --anger flares in her eyes. and she slams her fists down on the desk top-- "It is not Pon Farr, dammit!" she yells.

[10:10] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: How much faster?

[10:10] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: From their perspective it will have been over 2.5 million years since voyager. Everyone was being debbie downers about it but 2.5 million years is a drop in the bucket in geological or galaxtic

[10:10] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks horribly embarrassed.-- "I'm sorry doctor."

[10:10] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: formation. Even most non sentient species dont change that much in that small a period.

[10:11] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: simply alternated his raised brow from left to right. "I see..." Taking out his tricorder he would begin to run it up and down in front of the woman. "Are you quite sure it isn't the Pon Farr?"

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] I apologize for the delay, ma'am. *he quietly heads to the auxiliary ops station*

[10:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Still...2 million years is a very long time from our perspective.

[10:11] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Sentient species of course can alter the course of natural selection or whipe themselves out so there is the big difference.

[10:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -over her shoulder to him- Are you unwell Mr Pratt?

[10:11] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she shakes her head.-- "I've never been affected by it in this way before."

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] No, ma'am. I am fit for duty.

[10:12] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Thank you Lieutenant -nods to Ilya and hits her combadge- Bridge to engineering

[10:12] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Im utting my money on hyper q's. *chuckles* Or they could be like Orions and build a golden age then bomb themselves into the stone age rinse repeat.

[10:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: More Qs...that's just what the universe needs. *He looks back at her and chuckles.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Pops up at her station acting as though everywhere were totes normal and she didn't fall asleep or anything in the middle of things.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Bridge to engineering

[10:13] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Being part human." --she says that with a hint of embarrassment.-- "controlling my meotions has always been a challenge, but this is different."

[10:13] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Hey zem, everyting ""Totes fine""?

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Boyd inches closer to Zem*

[10:14] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "You appear... From these readings... To be suffering from a rather significant neurochemical imbalance due to the neurogenic field... Or perhaps due to the treatment..."

[10:14] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Smiles and nods to Ilya.* Oh for sure.

[10:14] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "In this case, perhaps your humanity prevented you from outright death; reading such as these in a Vulcan would spell death."

[10:14] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she sighs..-- "Can you treat it?"

[10:14] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Gives Boyd the side eye.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Boyd smiles at Zem*

[10:15] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Zem...coordinate with Science to prep a series of long rang probes to deal with the special enviroment of this world based on the Voyager logs

[10:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks back to Aria.* I think the Commander is calling you.

[10:16] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Engineering here.

[10:16] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Bridge to ...en...thank you Aria...everything all right down there?

[10:16] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "I can theoretically attempt to bring balance by introducing a group of hormonal suppressors... It would be evoking an entirely different branch of treatment but would solve the root of the issue."

[10:16] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Yeah fine. Um what do you need?

[10:16] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Oh! yes M'am. *She beep boops away, pulling up all information possible on the records for the planet and sending info to science.*

[10:16] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *She glances at Boyd again.* Whatcha doing?

[10:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Is our slipdrive prepped for use once we clear the gateway?

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] *smiles pleasantly* Just watchin'.

[10:17] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Yup we prepped her as soon as I got back to engineering.

[10:17] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she actually looks like she is about to cry.-- "Thank you doctor. How long before you can begin this treatment?"

[10:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Very well...we will be engaging it once we reach the delta quadrant and clear the gateway system

[10:18] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Sure thing.

[10:18] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: So you like to watch eh? *She turned back to her console as she continued to work on the info for the probes.*

[10:18] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "Well, since it's just medication; I can replicate it within the hour and have them in a usable form similarly within the hour, for now, I'd highly suggest meditation; the Vulcan part of your +

[10:19] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Also Ive ops working with science on some long range probes...anything you can add to their probe adjustment based on Voyager's logs to compensate for the time dilation would be apprecated

[10:19] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: biology will allow some manner of control over your thoughts and the physical side of your brain."

[10:20] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Oooh I have a idea for that! *sounds excited*

[10:20] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --She nods-- "Yes. I will do so. I am hardly fit for duty in my present state. Please inform Vlakriss she will be in command until further notice."

[10:20] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Cali. Zem is goign to coordinate with you on a series of long range probes for our use once we reach the system. See what you can do to help copensate fot he temporal distoration

[10:20] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Engineering to Doctor Steiner are you available?

[10:21] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: I've got some info i've sent over to you that should help.

[10:21] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Okie dokie.

[10:21] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She starts working on formulas to compensate for such distortion.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I am unsure what we can do but blue team seems to be in the field of miracles

[10:21] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: "Understood; if you are seeking a meditation program... Something involving active exertion may help, a combat situation perhaps, or, the exact reverse and Suns of Silence on P'Jem; a classic."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Buddy, Blue team can get anything done.

[10:23] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: That's right!

[10:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* Steiner...

[10:23] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and nods- Its what I am counting you guys for

[10:23] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods again-- "Thatnk you for your advice Doctor." --she truns and leaves-- "Inform me when the treatment is ready."

[10:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: At least he tolerates you.

[10:23] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Maybe we can make a micro chronoton deflector for said probe problem solved. Since its his baby and all I figured it wouldnt hurt to ask for his help.

[10:23] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: gave a nod to T'Pang as she left, giving a brisk tap to his combadge. "=/\= Sovek to Valkriss."

[10:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah it does make sense.

[10:24] [DOIC1] [email protected]: Entering Sphear space,    Requesting Acess to the Dyson Sphear.

[10:24] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Though it looks like I will need to get some scans before my miracles can be worked.

[10:24] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: We have priority clearanc granted by sphere traffic control...move us into position to pass through Helm

[10:25] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Need some more data to proceed.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Maybe he'll be more pleasant if he knows the problem we have to solve.

[10:25] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Sphere entery and gate access has just been verified by sphere control.

[10:25] [DOIC1] [email protected]: By your command

[10:25] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang makes her way toward the closest holodeck.--

[10:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Hopefully.

[10:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *taps her badge again starting to look frustrated* =^= Engineering to Doctor Steiner.

[10:26] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -sets her jaw at that and nods hitting her combadge to alert all decks- =^= All hands...stand by for transition through the Iconian gateway

[10:26] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *eventually Steiner saunters into sickbay, looking pissed*

[10:26] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *I mean Engineering lol*

[10:26] [DOIC1] [email protected]: *me takes the  Pilgrim into the  Gate Que   and slowsly into  the Dyson spear , and lays course to the gateway at the center

[10:27] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: My other idea is to use a quantul intaglement com system between the probe and the ship. Of course from our perspective the com returns will be rediculousely fast if we go that way we will need lots

[10:27] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: places his hand against the wall to brace himself.

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Fx] The gateway is visible on the screen and it looks quite impressive.

[10:27] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: of processing power for that.

[10:27] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Commander, should we go to yellow alert or raise shield for the transition?

[10:27] [DOIC1] [email protected]: Ten minuets to  Iconian gateway ,, at Full impulse ,

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Oooh.

[10:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks over at Steiner as he comes over.* Hello Doctor.

[10:27] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Steiner] What is going on? *to Aria*

[10:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles- the transition is practically instantanous and we are coming out into a friendly heavily controlled area of space within the Delta Sphere Lieutenant

[10:28] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: As you say

[10:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *beams happily at him* So I have a idea to fix a problem and well I figured you are the greatest mind available to help.

[10:28] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she mostly ignores the announcement over the public address as she walks up to the holodeck control panel.--

[10:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: What do you think about mineraturizing a chroniton deflecto to the scale of a probe?

[10:28] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Shuffles nervously and grips onto her console a little.* I hate this..

[10:30] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Steiner raises an eyebrow* The power consumption is extensive. As I recall, the Pilgrim had to have several conduits retrofitted to power the deflector without compromising the other systems.

[10:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li half rolls his eyes at 'greatest mind available' but listens.*

[10:31] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well we cant make a probe any wider than normal but we could make one longer. So we take two put em together and one is a dedicated power source not imsurmountable.

[10:32] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Steiner] It could work. But you'd only have a relatively brief window of time to use the deflector.

[10:32] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Computer activate program  'Monestary on P'Jem.'"

[10:33] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well it would be perfect for our first snapshot then we could go to plan b quantum intaglement comunication propbes each one would have to have that hand made and be a pain in the butt but hey we

[10:33] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: gotta do.

[10:33] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Fx] The holodeck transitions over to the Monestary on P'Jem program.

[10:33] [DOIC1] [email protected]: Just drive the ship   throhg the gateway ,

[10:33] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Steiner] Interesting. We should get to work on it.

[10:33] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: -As soon as the computer acknowledges she enter the holodeck. She neters the monestary room and finds a meditation mat across from a hologram of a Vulcan priest.--

[10:34] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --She sits down in a half lotus pose and takes a few deep breathes.--

[10:35] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: From our viewpoint any probe will last less than a second because of the time differential.

[10:35] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Logic is the cement of our civilization, which we ascend from chaos, using reason as our guide.

[10:35] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Since they will use up their power supply and die.

[10:35] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Excellent.

[10:36] [DOIC1] [email protected]: *Pop were on the other side,  *  Sits course,  to  XXXXXXX??  and slams it into slipstreem

[10:36] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *walks with steiner over by the replicators to start the project* Lets start with some blueprints they we can replicate parts and get to fiddling.

[10:37] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she bows politely to the priest-- "I am here for help incontrolling my emotions."

[10:37] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *steiner grunts in agreement and accompanies her*

[10:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks behind them, observing for the moment.*

[10:38] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Remember what happened to our race when we could not control our emotions.

[10:38] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Continues to grip onto her console as she waited anxiously for them to do the slipstream thing*

[10:38] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *brings up the scehmatic of pilgrims chroniton deflector*

[10:38] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she grits her teeth.-- "I don't need a history lesson. I need guidance in my meditation."

[10:38] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: We've gone to slipstream.

[10:39] [DOIC1] [email protected]: ETA 15 minuets

[10:39] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well then I guess we need to work fast.

[10:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Whatever I can do to help, just name it.

[10:39] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] *seemingly unfazed by this* All life is struggle. Even serenity comes only after struggle.

[10:40] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Monitor the slipdrive for now I'll send some of the design work your way once we figure out how to sperate the main components for mineraturization

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] *To Zem* Excited?

[10:40] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she closes her eyes and takes a deep breathe trying to calm and cneter her being. --

[10:40] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Understood. *He walks back to his console.*

[10:41] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Remember that the pursuit of logic is our most important calling, and nothing important is easy or simple.

[10:41] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --Her eyes snap open-- "That crap didn't help when I was a child, it sure as hell isn't helping now." she growls.

[10:42] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] You must realize that nothing external can solve the problem you face. It can only provide a hint to the correct path. You yourself must walk that path alone.

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Well, /I'm/ excited for sure.

[10:43] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Steiner works on the blueprints alongside Aria*

[10:44] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Err.. i suppose you could call it that.

[10:45] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she is now glaring at the Vulcan priest.-- "Is that all I can expect from you, excuses. You are useless!" --She yells.--

[10:45] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Ok hmm. The hardest part looks to be the chrono deflection field matrix atenuizer. Me and Steiner can work on that. Li can you work on the merging of two probes into a long one and slaving ones power

[10:45] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: supply to our baby blue?

[10:46] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] From a cosmic perspective, all things are useless. Only you can give meaning to the universe. That is your right as a sentient being. Choose wisely, then.

[10:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure!

[10:47] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she is trembling now with her pent up rage.-- "You bastard, you have never approved of me. I hate you!" --she screams.--

[10:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li brings up the schematics of two probes side by side, and a power supply small enough that it could be integrated into the probe.*

[10:47] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Is it not more accurate to say that you have never approved of yourself?

[10:48] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li attempts to theoretically merge the probes into a large one, and use a power supply small enough to fit on the probe.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *beepidiboops about on the tactics console, trying to get a better idea what is ahead, and if there is something thretening about*

[10:49] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --her eys narrow as she glares at the priest.--

[10:49] [DOIC4] Sovek@xemion1111: Rises from his chair and move sto complete the hormone concoction, giving it off to the nurses to give to the Captain when able.

[10:50] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] To control your anger, you must understand it. And you must understand that what you feel for me, is directed at yourself.

[10:50] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So I think if we change materials and we do some creative placement we can totally get the chroniton capcitor small enough and attached to the flux atenuation matrix to get the deflector portion work

[10:51] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: ing what do you think?

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] I've heard of this place before actually.

[10:51] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *drawns a quick blueprint*

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] Me too. I'm kind of a Voyager buff.

[10:51] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "You don't know anything about me." --she growls.--

[10:52] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Anything good you've heard about it?

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: This area of space is really desolate

[10:52] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] That is true... but I know those who have walked your path before. And that means that I know you.

[10:52] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles confidently as she thinks its a workable solution*

[10:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li frowns, the theory around merging two probes together not looking very pretty. He looks into the various types of power supplies available, looking for the ideal model that would fit on the probe.

[10:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] They were friendly to us in the past. I mean, if they're still there.

[10:53] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she lowers her head slowly.-- "Your logic seems sound."

[10:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well ummm...it's not going to win any aesthetics awards...but I can merge two of them together with a decent sized power supply that can run the deflector.

[10:54] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Even in times of emotional crisis, remember that you are always on a journey. It cannot be rushed. Be confident that, one day, you will find yourself at it's end.

[10:54] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Just has to work. Doesnt have to win a beauty contest.

[10:54] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: I wonder if they will still have records about our encounter in the past.

[10:55] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It'll work.

[10:56] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Good. I think Doctor Steiner is impressed with my work he hasnt said anything. *smiles happily*

[10:57] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Steiner gives the closest thing to a smile that he can possibly manage*

[10:58] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] As illogical as it may be, you must have faith. In yourself, and in your friends.

[10:59] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Now we just need to finalise a merging of your work with ours and then make it.

[11:00] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *Steiner peeks over at Li's work*

[11:00] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she shakes her head.-- "let's just say that my faith in myslef has been tested since assuming command and found severely wanting."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Scoots over to Pratt and nods, speaking quietly to him.*

[11:00] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "i don't think I can do this anymore."

[11:01] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] The very fact that you doubt yourself proves that you are the right person for the task.

[11:01] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Steiner] It won't win any prizes for good looks...

[11:01] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yup.

[11:02] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: How is it progressing, team blue?

[11:02] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Smiles a bit and nods* Thank you.

[11:02] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks angry again-- "Oh that is such bullshit." --she growls.--

[11:02] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Scoots back over to her console.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Need more scans.

[11:03] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Is it? Only the arrogant or deluded never experience self-doubt.

[11:03] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles and brings up both designs side by side and starts trying to merge the teo so they all fit in the double length casing*

[11:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Untill we are out of slipsteam that is hard.

[11:04] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she shakes her head-- "Self-doubt is one thing but I am hardly instilling the crew with confidence."

[11:04] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Precisely.

[11:04] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Any input guys?

[11:04] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "That is my biggest job and I am failing."

[11:04] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ummm...we could gut some of the non-essential systems.

[11:06] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: True why dont we remove the rentry sheilds we arent going all the way to the planet with it I think.

[11:06] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* That might give us the room we need.

[11:06] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --She slams her fist on the ground-- "No. I refuse to sit here and feel sorry for myself." --she syas angrily.--

[11:06] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: We could also go with a minimal thruster set since its going to get close then hold orbit till it turns off.

[11:06] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [T

[11:07] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Be patient. Especially with yourself.

[11:07] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "That is easier said than done. My human half is such a burden."

[11:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Let's try it with the current schematics.\

[11:08] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods*

[11:09] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Your human side... there is an old saying on Earth. Do not free a camel from the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.

[11:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks up to the panel in front of them, maneuvering the computer to remove the re-entry shields and go with a smaller thruster to conserve space.*

[11:10] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she snarls-- "That is illogical. You say it makes me what I am and I agree. But, it also holds me back from being what I want to be."

[11:11] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] Then let it be a fellow traveler on your journey, rather than an obstacle.

[11:12] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Looking better.

[11:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* I think it's a good shot. Doctor?

[11:13] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Steiner] If it doesn't fall apart after launch, it might just work.

[11:14] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Boyd.. I'm curious. how long are you assigned to this ship?

[11:14] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks down-- "I have been fighting it so long, I don't know that I can do anything different."

[11:14] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: We could always beam it out if we need to baby it and give it a longer time to accelerate.

[11:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Good idea.

[11:15] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Priest] In any fight, there is a winner and there is a loser. When you fight yourself, you are, by definition, causing yourself to lose.

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Pretty much indefinitely!

[11:16] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] This is such a great assignment.

[11:16] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles*

[11:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: What do you do on this ship? and why are you loitering on the bridge?

[11:16] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *tilts her head.* Where are your articles being posted? I would like to read what you've written..

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Oh, I'm an embedded reporter from the Federation News Network.

[11:17] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So lets run a test simulation see if it works in theory if it does we can start building.

[11:17] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods slowly-- "Again your logic is sound." --she says with a sighs--

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] We run a special every month detailing one of the Pilgrim's exploits. After it has been checked by Starfleet Intelligence, of course.

[11:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles at her and nods.* I'll write a quick sim based on what we know of the planet.

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] It's called 'Flight Amongst the Stars: The Pilgrim Story.'

[11:17] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she taps her comm badge.-- =/\=Commander T'Pang to sickbay.=/\=

[11:18] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks back to his console, creating a simulation based on their destination.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Uhuh... so you are one of those.

[11:18] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] It's /very/ highly rated. My understanding is that there is a fan club back on Earth. They like to dress up like you people for fun.

[11:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: People need a hobby.

[11:19] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] They do have a hobby. They run a simulation of the Pilgrim and go on missions and such.

[11:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I've got it ready Aria.

[11:19] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Huh... Supose that is better then some holoprograms.

[11:19] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] The woman who plays Commander Valkriss is /very/ convincing.

[11:20] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Fire it up lets see how it goes.

[11:20] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li begins the simulation with the probe and the planet.*

[11:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: The same person plays her repeatedly?

[11:20] [DOIC5] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Mhm.

[11:21] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: A klingon?

[11:21] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Giggles a bit in amusement.* So i can find your reports on the FNN?

[11:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Hmmmmm.

[11:22] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well...ummm...we have a chance. A pretty good chance of this working.

[11:22] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Maybe you will find some human skinnydipping in blue pain in order to play you in a holosim?

[11:22] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Boyd] Sure! Load up the 'on demand' section of the FNN and search for Pilgrim.

[11:22] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: **paint

[11:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I would say like...a 70% chance this works, and it reaches the surface.

[11:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: And...a 30% chance it never gets there.

[11:24] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well then lets get to building we will soft launch her via the transporter beam to nudge our odds. THen we just build some probes with the com suite replaced with a quantum intaglement one as back ups

[11:24] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: and then its all up to science.

[11:24] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Helm S. Mann] We are approaching the system, Sir.

[11:24] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] Alright. Take us out of slipstream and hold at the edge of the system until the Captain can return to the bridge.

[11:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* I'll get the industrial replicators working on it right away.

[11:25] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: I think i'll have to look that up.

[11:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *starts building*

[11:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Me to, be interesting to see people trying to portray you all...

[11:26] [DOIC3] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: *The industrial replicators get to work on making the probes*

[11:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: One artificial body sateliting the planet.

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] *looks over at Ilya* What type of artificial body?

[11:27] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Seems like a satelite based on size and such, to far out to gain a propper reading.

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: [Pratt] Intriguing...

[11:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Everything looks good.

[11:27] [DOIC] DGM Kossuth-@atemporal: TO BE CONTINUED...

[11:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Of course, we don't really know till we try.

[11:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You two did a good job.

[11:30] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs* The key to being a good section chief is leveraging your assets. Steiner devloped then the thing and hes on board too easy.

[11:31] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, looking around a bit awkwardly as the industrial replicator does its thing.* Still...despite the way he acts he's really smart. And I think he sees that in you too.

[11:32] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I guess. Probably helps that I always try to play nice with him.

[11:33] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Some people get rubbed the wrong way too easily.

[11:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and looks back to the replicator, falling silent for a moment.*

[11:35] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Stands there awkwardly silent as well*

[11:35] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ummm...

[11:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Do you want...eat something and...talk?

[11:45] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I guess.

[11:46] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Deck 2.

[11:46] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks into the turbolift beside her, trying to hide his nervousness.*

[11:47] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Pauses* Um. I think I'll have some chili and um just a glass of ice water.

[11:48] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oh and a piece of cornbred too.

[11:48] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *moves over so Li can order as she waits*

[11:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Um I'll have a loaf of mapa bread...and a uhh...root...beer?

[11:51] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *when she gets her tray looks around then heads to a table away from anyone else*

[11:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks over and sets his tray across from hers, taking a sip of his root beer.*

[11:52] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nerviously sits down avoiding eye contact as she begins her meal*

[11:53] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li cuts into his mapa bread and takes a few bites.*

[11:54] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Good work on the power supply today.

[11:55] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thanks. That was like a hell of a task, trying to squeeze those two probes together.

[11:56] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: The life of a engineer. Tasks that have never been done before in far too short a period.

[11:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and sips more of the root beer.*

[11:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm glad you got to be more hands on with it.

[11:58] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Im sure you and Jill could have handled it fine without me. *sighs at that*

[11:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.*

[11:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You were the one who thought of Steiner and was able to handle him and get him focused.

[11:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I doubt he would give Jill the time of day.

[12:00] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs and looks at the table avoiding eye contact* Also um I think for the time being im going to keep sleeping on the couch.

[12:01] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes hsi head.* I can sleep on the couch...you take the bed.

[12:02] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Its fine. its not like its uncomfortable.

[12:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sighs and looks up at her.* I love you, Aria. I'm really sorry you had to...learn something like that in that way, but it's not exactly something I would bring up in conversation. She is NOT compe

[12:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: competition...I made my choice.

[12:04] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Except you did bring it up... And now. Now im having a hard time trusting you. That hurt Li and its going to take some time for me to get over it.

[12:05] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *squirms uncomfortably*

[12:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I was under the influence of...whatever that was. I wasn't even intending on going into any sort of feelings in the first place, they just...came out.

[12:06] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I know it hurt you...and it hurts me to see that. I know it will take some time...but I wanted to make my feelings clear to you.

[12:06] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: ... Like when you where high and you two were so... close.

[12:07] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* You do know she's into girls, right?

[12:08] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: What?

[12:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* I think it was pretty obvious...the way she was talking about the android and how she looked at that woman who was helping us out...

[12:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: She also adores you.

[12:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Like I did when I first came on board...you're like a model for us to follow.

[12:10] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Then why did she say she needs anti anxiety pills just to interact socially after hours?

[12:10] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Maybe she suffers from anxiety? She's not the most social person I know at times.

[12:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: How often does she eat with us or any of the rest of the crew?

[12:11] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs* I don't know.

[12:11] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I can only think of like one time she's joined us after shift.

[12:13] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I guess that sounds plausible.

[12:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Look...I don't expect what I'm saying to fix things instantly. I just wanted a chance to try to improve things. I still want to marry you.

[12:14] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *squirms some more continuing to avoid eye contact and eats some more*

[12:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks down at his plate.* I'm sorry. *He puts a hand across the table but doesn't touch her.*

[12:17] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Why didn't you. Why didn't you come talk to me about that until there was a antidote?

[12:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I thought I had ruined everything...I didn't think you would speak to me again.

[12:18] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Would it have helped?

[12:18] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: YES! Then I wouldnt be having half these thoughts in my head if I knew absolutely knew that you were telling me everything.

[12:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li lowers his head.* I was afraid of making things worse too. When you're not in control of your own speech it's scary.

[12:22] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: ... SO what you're saying is you didnt think you could keep yourself from gushing more about how much you care about her, so thats why you waited? *looks even more hurt*

[12:22] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: No!

[12:22] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I didn't know what you were going to ask me. I was scared, Aria.

[12:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Frightened and terrified of losing the person I love

[12:23] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So you don't think you can be honest with me is that it?

[12:24] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: No of course I can. What if the anomaly forced me to start saying things that weren't true? What if it possessed me or something?

[12:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Except it was making people be true it wasnt like that. What are you afraid of me asking you that much?

[12:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I didn't even fully understand what was going on. In that situation...I don't know how trying to further resolve that situation was a good idea.

[12:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I didn't know that Aria, we weren't really informed of what was going on at the time other than we we were all acting strangely.

[12:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yeah but you had to know what you said about Jill was how you actually felt.

[12:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Of course but there were so many variables and you know the Pilgrim's history...and my own history

[12:29] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I don't understand.

[12:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: If you're saying things, true or not, and you don't control what's coming out of your mouth...

[12:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: like...that's terrifying.

[12:32] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *sighs*

[12:32] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Aria...I would never EVER fool around with her. Putting anything about her and my friendship aside...I would NEVER do that to you.

[12:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That's not who I am.

[12:34] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I. I'm going to need time.

[12:34] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.*

[12:34] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *He looks down at his bread and eats a small piece.* I can take the couch.

[12:35] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *silently nods*

[12:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Have you heard from your parents recently?

[12:37] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Besides a merry christmas message. Nope.

[12:38] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Oh.
