Pilgrim 10/2

[8:41] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme begins to play... **

[8:42] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** After a sweeping recap of important scenes from the last few arcs, the camera opens on the
Citadel station, where a fully repaired Pilgrim is sitting in drydock.  An interior view shows crew...

[8:43] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: all over the ship hurrying about to get them ready for their impending return to the great
unknown.  The camera zoome in on T'Pang in her ready room as she gives her opening log... **

[8:43] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's log Stardate 95722.63. The Pilgrim remains docked at the Citadel, all of the repairs are
complete. There are minor details left to sort out. But, We will likely be receiving new order soon..

[8:46] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: In the mean time I have recieved a request for a meeting from Lady  Oyenne Belir. I am uncertain what
she wants to discuss. Perhaps this is related to the conficated Kirtascan ships. She may be ...

[8:47] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: disappointed to learn I am not involved in the deciding the fate of thsoe ships. Still in the
interests onf diplomacy I will meet with her and find out what she wants to discuss. End Log.

[8:49] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang closes the log recorder and leans back in her chair.--

[8:49] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris fusses with the collar of his new, updated uniform as he heads out of the mess hall
and towards the turbolift.*

[8:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "More tea, ma'am?"

[8:49] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods at Travers-- "Yes, please."

[8:50] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Looks at T'Ghor* "Professor plonker? Catch" *She throws a small box to the klingon in a toss that is
quite easy to catch*

[8:50] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He pivots in the lift and taps the manual control to shut the door.* "Engineering."

[8:50] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  *He headed over to get a new cup from the replicator.*  "Guess we haven't rid
ourselves of the Kirtascans yet, huh?"

[8:51] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor catches it, giving Ilya a nod.*

[8:51] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *The CMO is in the process of running a full diagnostic on the sickbay equipment and systems to ensure
readiness for launch.*

[8:51] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks over her shoulder watching the throw, she rolls her eyes looking back to the console*

[8:51] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Unfortunately, no. I would think that command would want someone else dealing with the Kirtascan
issue."

[8:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "And we're throwing things on the bridge, why?"

[8:51] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He opens the box, not rally giving a crap about Rhys.*

[8:52] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  *She was hard at work assisting Doctor Delancey.  Nurse Rigby was nowhere to be
seen.*

[8:52] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Raises an eyebrow at Ilya.* "Thanks, Lieutenant... How'd I earn this?"

[8:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Professor plonker has been awarded the SOWSBCRMOA"

[8:52] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is smoothing out his uniform in his quarters.*

[8:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *An arm blocked the lift door before it could close, and Ensign Sulok stepped in.  He nodded
once to Serris.*

[8:53] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Ensign." *He nods, fidgeting slightly.*

[8:53] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...The... what?"

[8:53] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "Well, so far you're the captain with the most experience with them."

[8:53] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mreshi, If I haven't said it before, i'm really bloody glad you made it out alright.  Not sure what I
would do without you."

[8:53] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She walked out of the refresher, looking a little pale.*

[8:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "The... sowscrumoa?"

[8:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *She takes a PADD and reads from it* "Professor plonker, Aslo known by  Lieutenant T'Ghor. is awarde the
SOWSBCR medal of acknowledgement for his briliant use of witts and sarcasm in a unexpected and>

[8:54] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  *She gave a fanged smile.*  "As am I doctor, we were all worried for the ship after
we saw what happened."

[8:55] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You alright?

[8:55] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she raises an eyebrow.-- "I suppose that is true. But, it only counts if I am able to learn from
past mistakes. I suppose the fact that I have not been relieved of command yet indicates that the ...

[8:55] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]   "Lieutenant."  *The door closed and they whizzed off.*

[8:55] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "admiral has not yet lost all faith in my ability to do the job."

[8:55] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Not feeling my greatest."  *She coughed.*  "But I'll make it through the day."

[8:55] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > tense situation. The comitte acknowledges his great sense of humor and quick thinking with a majority
vote of approval, Granting the recipient a vote on the next session of vote. Signed on behalf >

[8:56] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "or perhaps they just have not found a replacement yet."

[8:56] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "There's a frightening lack of captains, yes.  I hear even lieutenant commanders are
being pulled to command ships."

[8:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > of the SOWSBCR Asylum chapter, Cassandra Ilya. Elected chairman for year 22"

[8:56] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li frowns.* If you feel any worse, please check in with Doctor Delancey.

[8:56] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris fusses with the part of his hair as the lift descends, an awkward silence hanging
between the two.*

[8:56] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Yeah, I know... just a little nausea."

[8:57] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --unfortunately, starfleet number have never quite recoved since the Iconian war. Suubsequent events
since then have not helped."

[8:57] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *After an eternity of silence, the lift doors opened on the engineering deck.*

[8:57] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor gives a good natured, booming laugh, nodding at Ilya.* "Thank you, Lieutenant. Are
there any special rules of the Asylum chapter?"

[8:57] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, stepping out into the living area.*

[8:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "...Should we applaud?"

[8:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Yes. He deserves a warm round of applaudes"

[8:58] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris strode down the hall, hoping for an uneventful day of work to prevent any emotional
turmoil from snowballing.*

[8:58] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Either way I will continue to do the job to the best of my ability until I am relieved. For
whatever that is worth."

[8:58] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Yes, there are some rules, mostly bloody dull ones. I'll let you knwo next time we have a meeting on the
citadel"

[8:58] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "I think it's worth a whole lot.  At least to the crew."

[8:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Understood, Lieutenant. Are we allowed to bring drinks to the meeting?"

[8:59] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods slowly-- "Thank you for the moral support Travers."

[8:59] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She went out with him.*  "Any thoughts on where we should go on the holodeck after
shift?"

[8:59] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Yes."

[8:59] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "What's a yeoman for?"

[9:00] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What would be relaxing for you? *Li heads out of the living area into the hallway.*

[9:00] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I'll haul a case of wine, special from Italy."

[9:00] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am uncertain that is actually in the job description. But, none the less I appreciate it."

[9:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Sure some other chapters  will be chuffed"

[9:00] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  *He checked his PADD.*  "We still have to let Lady Belir know she can come aboard."

[9:01] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris walks into engineering, avoiding eye contact with anyone as he signs onto his
workstation.*

[9:01] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Maybe that Bajor program you have?  We didn't get to explore the whole thing after
all."

[9:01] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she taps her comm badge.-- =/\=Captain T'Pang to Lieutenant Commander Gayle."

[9:01] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, too bad for them."

[9:01] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure.

[9:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "It's just Lieutenant for now, ma'am, but what can I do for you?"

[9:02] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "You need to practice. They will be happy"

[9:03] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood, inform Lady Belir that I am ready to see her. Have security escort her to my ready
room.=/\=

[9:03] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li enters the turbolift.*

[9:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Yes, ma'am."  *She looked over at Nkiru.*  "You're helping with security while
Deati's out, right?  Can you have a security escort ready in the transporter room?"

[9:04] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Right. I'll be the universe's first witty klingon."

[9:04] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She stepped in after him, leaning against Li's shoulder.*

[9:05] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "If it makes you hapy, the vote was not much in your favour"

[9:05] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *turns to look at Gayle* "I do believe so, yes"

[9:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Hey Serris," *he smiled as he walked in.*

[9:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor grins at the medal, as he eyes it.* "Think the captain will

[9:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Think the captain will let me wear it with the dress uniform?" *He then looks at Ilya.* "Oh?
How many people are in the chapter?"

[9:05] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Sure, I will get them on it"

[9:05] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Hi." *He tried to muster a smile but just looked totally burned out.*

[9:06] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He frowned, instantly seeing through it.*  "What's wrong?"

[9:06] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "The asylum chapter is small, so we do not do our own meetings. isntead we attend the citadel meetings an
hour earlier if needed to discuss things"

[9:06] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles as the lift starts heading towards the engineering deck.*

[9:06] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "As for dress uniform, Im bloody sure she dont care either way"

[9:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --picks up a PADD off the desk and start reading.--

[9:06] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *turns back to her console and assigns an couple security guys to the escort duty*

[9:07] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I don't know if this is the right venue for that discussion."

[9:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "After we get off, then?"

[9:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Got you..."

[9:08] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sure." *He fussed with the part of his hair again, clearly anxious.*

[9:08] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He gave Serris a worried frown as he stepped over to his console.*

[9:08] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Li and Jill's lift arrived on the engineering deck.*

[9:08] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li steps out, heading for main engineering.*

[9:09] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Which Transporter room can I send them to?"

[9:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Gayle to Captain T'Pang, Lady Belir and her entourage are aboard and being
escorted up."

[9:10] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood, thank you Lieutenant.=/\=

[9:10] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *The CMO checks the holographic systems last, running a check on zones and checking to see if the
hallway was upgraded or not.*

[9:11] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sips her teas slowly.--

[9:11] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "Is something wrong?"

[9:11] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She stepped into Engineering and got right to work.*

[9:12] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glances at TRavers-- "Why are you concerned?"

[9:12] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "...Cause you're the captain.  You have to be concerned about everyone else on the
ship, someone has to be concerned about you."

[9:12] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *takes a moment to look at her Delta badge with a smirk, before closely following the escourt
group on her console*

[9:13] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I appreciate that. But, your concern is misplaced. I assure you."

[9:13] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "Ahem.  Captain's yeoman?"

[9:13] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Computer, was the isolation field of the surgical bay properly alligned by engineering to allow for
my emergency protocol command SIERRA 7734 or is that still queued as well?"?

[9:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li does the same, bringing up reports from the previous shift and the duty roster for the
shift.*

[9:14] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "and an extrememly vocal one at that."

[9:14] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "Pending."

[9:14] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Travers]  "Would you rather I just fetch your tea and not say anything?"

[9:15] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Rhyss? You are also invited to join the SOWSBCR as a normal member by vouch"

[9:15] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she considers that for a moment.-- "That won't be necessary. Your input is welcome. "

[9:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sighs.* Ensign Sulok?

[9:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "You're too kind."

[9:16] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  "Yes, Lieutenant?"

[9:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I know. bloody flaw"

[9:16] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Nurse... have you seen Rigby on board yet?" *she checks the chrono*

[9:16] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  "I have, she's, uh, requested beta shift."

[9:16] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Can you gather a team together to start working through some of these requests from the new CMO?

[9:17] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  "Certainly."  *He brought up the list, pausing.*  "This is an extensive list."

[9:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I know.

[9:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Just then, the turbolift opened and Teir stepped out with a tall, elegantly dressed Kirtascan
female with black hair fashionably curled around her shoulders.*

[9:18] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Alright.. if that is what she needs.  I'm sure Dr Vant will like to have the help, especially with
the training classes Beta shift is going to be covering."

[9:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor's knuckles clenched hard, but he said nothing.*

[9:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  "I can begin the modifications, but it will likely be an extensive refitting."

[9:19] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  "Of course, Doctor."

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Captain T'Pang?  Lady Belir has arrived."

[9:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Do what you can. If the situation changes, you will be recalled.

[9:19] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks to Teir and nods before looking at the guest as they arrive on the bridge*

[9:20] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood, please show her to the ready roo,=/\=

[9:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Frowns*

[9:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  *He brought the Kirtascan over to T'Pang's door.*

[9:20] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --set the PADD down and takes one more sip of her tea before also setting it aside.--

[9:21] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Teir and the woman entered the room.  The Kirtascan gave a polite bow of her horned head.*

[9:22] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "Captain... I had assumed I would be addressing you and your senior staff."  *She
looked curiously at Travers.*

[9:22] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --as they enter-- "Lady Belir, it is agreeable to see you again."

[9:23] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  "Yes, sir."  *He headed off to begin rounding up the appropriate supplies and crew.*

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "...Getting sick of seeing those lizard people."

[9:23] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I  apologize I was not informed at to the nature of your request."

[9:24] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "A miscommunication, I suppose.  Your command requested that I offer my experience and
insights into my people for your upcoming mission."

[9:25] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Well there in lies the source of the miscommunication, as we have not been informed of
any upcoming missions."

[9:26] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  *She tilted her head.*  "Were you not informed that you were to be submitting your
recommendation to Command regarding how you should proceed?"

[9:26] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "If you want to address my seniior staff I have no problem with that at all."

[9:27] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "It would merely make your decision making easier if your people were there to assist.
That is how I choose to run my command structure after all."

[9:27] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she taps her comm badge.-- =/\=Captain T'Pang to Lieutenant Gayle.=/\=

[9:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Yes, Captain?"

[9:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Please have the senior staff assemble in the conference room for a meeting.=/\=

[9:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Understood, ma'am, I'll get right on it."

[9:29] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "All senior staff, please report to the conference room immediately."

[9:29] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she stands up.--

[9:29] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Shag me backwards with a bloody cactus... I miss Eldax"

[9:29] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *raises an eyebrow but heads to the confrance room.*

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Why's that?"  *She gave her console to McClure.*

[9:30] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Well Lady Belir, shall we take this over to the conference room then?"

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "You guys have fun."

[9:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* Jill, you have engineering.

[9:30] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Because he used to do all that bloody shait"

[9:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "Of course, Captain."  *Teir lead her out.*

[9:30] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia finishes the hand written note, writing 'For Rigby' on the folded outside of a replicated
piece of paper and laves it on her desk.  She grabs her jacket and puts her hair up.*

[9:31] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Rhys, Are you nto chief tactical or something misserebly like that?"

[9:31] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "I'll try to keep us floating."

[9:31] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mreshi, all yours till I get back."

[9:31] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --Allows Belire to exit first then follows her out.--

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "God damn it, Ilya..."

[9:31] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "If I am going to suffer, you are"

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Ouch, threw him into the deflector."

[9:31] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *nods her head at the captain*

[9:32] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  "Yes, Doctor," *she gave a catlike smile.*

[9:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "He was all to chuffed to see us being thrown in to it"

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "He always is, I think that's the only time he's ever not grumpy."

[9:32] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Bridge.

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Mrh.  Let's get this over with."

[9:33] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ((which channel is the conference room?))

[9:33] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She pauses in the door, giving acknowlegement to each in the room, then says* "Captain."

[9:33] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to her officers.--

[9:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Penny on the genozice lizard.... the other one, gonna holda speach"

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Urrrrrgh."

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He just walked into the conference room.*

[9:34] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *replicates herself a cup of tea as she enters the conference room*

[9:34] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she mostions to LAdy Belir-- "For thse of you not familiar with her, this is LAdy Oyenne Belir."

[9:34] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  *She gave an elegant bow of her horned head.*

[9:35] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *takes a moment again to eye Belir up and down before making a nod of greeting*

[9:35] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks in, taking a seat.*

[9:36] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  *She was well over two meters tall, an average height for a Kirtascan.*  "Good
evening, Pilgrim.  It's a pleasure to finally meet some of you."

[9:37] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "It seems Lady Belir has a breifing for an up coming mission."

[9:38] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "For those of you who don't know me, I'm the leader of a secular movement for the Holy
Kirtascan Empire.  We can get into the specifics of my politics later.  I've been asked to come here...

[9:39] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --folds her hands and listens intently--

[9:39] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: as an advisor as the Citadel has been receiving demands for the return of the three Kirtascan
warships that were left derelict by the dark entity from Hessok Vridi."

[9:41] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "Now, I know well that you don't have the authority to make these decisions.  However,
Command has asked for your recommendation on how to proceed, as your crew has had the most contact...

[9:41] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris works at his terminal, trying to bring up the schematics for Delta armor.*

[9:42] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: with my people.  Whatever you decide, so long as Command approves it, will be the next course
of action for establishing relations with my people."

[9:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Uh, you got called to that meeting like ten minutes ago..."

[9:43] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... I did?"

[9:43] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Yeah..."

[9:43] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Shit. Sorry. I'm just... I don't know." *He hurried out of engineering.*

[9:43] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "this seems more of a diplomatic issue than anything else."

[9:44] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed... also, how well have these ships been researched?"

[9:44] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am sure the engineering division would like as much time as possible to examine the ships."

[9:44] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris enters the conference room, and seeing no space left at the table, hangs out by the
door so as not to be disruptive.*

[9:44] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *Sips her tea and rolls her eyes, giving Rhys a look*

[9:44] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *leans back in her chair observing and follow the discussion*

[9:45] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali seems to be trying to wrap her head around the words coming out of the alien mouth, as if the
sounds don't line up and she is attempting to read meaning from her movements.*

[9:45] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris looks very distracted and doesn't notice Ilya's decidedly impolite response.*

[9:45] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "Which, again, is why you're making your recommendation.  Not the final decision.  I'm
not sure how much your people have gleaned from the warships yet."

[9:45] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *he shrugged back at Ilya.*

[9:46] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "However, the ships do rightfully belong to the Kirtascan people. and as such their request to have
them returned can not be ignored. Perhaps delayed, but eventually they will need to be reutrned."

[9:46] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she looks to the Captain rather than speaking directly.*

[9:48] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "Three warships isn't going to put that huge of a dent in the Kirtascan fleet.
However, I do know that the High Pontiff, if given a reason to dole out righteous indignation, will seize...

[9:48] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: upon it fully.  Another enemy for the Holy Empire will only help to further entrench him in his
seat of power."

[9:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "So... don't delay in returning his toys, is what you're saying."

[9:49] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Making him our enemy might give us a good reason to remove that stain on the galaxy from power
forever, though."

[9:49] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Starfleet isn't in the business of overthrowing governments."

[9:49] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that is my point, the last thing Starfleet needs to do is give these people any more of a reason to
consider us the enemy. AS such returning them sooner as opposed to later is most logical."

[9:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Trust the Klingoin to want to go to war."

[9:50] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Has his governing gave us anything else but hindrances yet?" *He looks to Rhys*

[9:51] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Federation law and Starfleet regulations and policies would fobid such a hostile stance toward the
Kirtascans."

[9:51] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That doesn't give us the right to make decisions for an entire species."

[9:51] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T"Ghor scoffs, but says nothing further.*

[9:51] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I mean, he sent an inquisitor after us and then three big ships to force our hand at
Hessok Vridi.  You could almost say he's already declared hostile intentions on us."

[9:52] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "so such a discussion is not even on the table."

[9:52] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thank you, Lieutenant Gayle..."

[9:52] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You heard the Captain, the discussion's off the table."

[9:52] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He seemed a bit snappier than usual.*

[9:52] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Just playing Devil's advocate."  *She held her hands up.*

[9:52] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes lieutenant Gayle?"

[9:53] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Uh, that wasn't for a question."

[9:53] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali looks around the room.*  "With the revelation of the nature of the entity, is there any word
about what reaction the High Pontiff has to the event? Beyond our involvement?"

[9:54] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "My contacts in the Holy Empire have stated that he blames our involvement for the
failure at Hessok Vridi.  Of course, the Protector wouldn't have mislead them."  *She took on an...

[9:54] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: almost bitter, mocking tone.*

[9:54] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I think this situation is fairly straight forward. I think the returing of these vessels may
provide an opportuity to open a dialoge witht he Kirtascan people under better circumstance."

[9:55] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I agree that perhaps another vessel and crew might be better suited to handle any
furture diplomatic exchanges."

[9:55] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *Frowns, shaking her head before taking a sip of her tea*

[9:55] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor's scowl deepens at the news from Belir.*

[9:55] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I disagree.  I think we're the only ones who can do this mission."

[9:55] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Captain, I would say that it is very important for their leaders to see the full visual and data
record of the event before the ships are returned."

[9:55] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He gave Gayle a betrayed look.*

[9:55] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "the pIlgrim has not had the best history with the Kirtascans."

[9:56] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that  is likely a good idea Doctor."

[9:56] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Lieutenant..." *He gives Gayle a look.*

[9:56] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *Bites her tounge, literary, to remain silent*

[9:56] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain, we can't just step out of this and hand it off to someone else.  We were
there when it started, we have to finish it.  We have to show them we're not what they think we are."

[9:57] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *listens closely to everything said but keeps silent*

[9:57] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We have to redeem ourselves.  All of us do."

[9:57] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "May I say something about that?"

[9:57] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Excuse me? They're the ones who need to redeem themselves."

[9:57] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Gayle.-- "If command decides they want us handling this assignment we will of course
do our duty."

[9:57] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *raises an eyebrow at Gayle*

[9:58] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "This is not the bloody time to think of redemton of the bloody unredeemeble, if starfleet want to ake
sucha bloody numpty mission atleast send something that has abloody snowflakes chance in hell"

[9:58] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We could've done something to stop thi---"  *She looked at Ilya with a frown.*

[9:58] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at lady Belir.--

[9:58] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Lieutenant Ilya is right. We do not have the best history with them... and the mission is
honestly idiotic."

[9:58] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We tried everything we could to stop it, Lieutenant."

[9:59] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  *She was watching them all silently.*

[9:59] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *looking at Gayle* "I would suggest that in this case, looking at the record entirely without history,
it would seem the mistake was not made by our team, except in being there at all."

[9:59] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *Nods approvingly at Ilya*

[9:59] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She just sighed.*  "Forget I said anything I guess."

[10:00] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "the important thing her is not finding redemtion in the eyes of the Kirtascans. That as Lieutenant
Ilya indicates is a fools errand. The imporant thing is keeping the peace."

[10:00] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "AS for the bloody lunatics of the empire. IF what they have not done already at us is not a declaration
of war that justifies responce. are we waiting for a bloody pamplet and a cermonious I declare>

[10:00] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > war tea party to make it formal?"

[10:01] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He nods at Ilya again.* "Keeping the peace is not a viable option, considering the peace has
been broken long ago."

[10:01] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I suggest that we willingly accept the demand to return the ships.  But ask that their leadership
come here to retrieve them.  Where we can give them the evidence of the truth, all the leadership."

[10:01] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Or we use the ships as trojan horses..."

[10:01] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We are not even in Federation space here. We are here as guests of the Avynai people. If any
action against the Kirtascans is warranted that will be a decision made by the Dawn Alliance."

[10:02] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "You have to realise you're asking a great deal asking them to leave Kistascan space.
It's literally considered a sin, one which must be absolved by the High Pontiff himself."

[10:03] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am uncertain how this return will be implemented. I ti spossible that we could bring the ships
to them."

[10:03] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We could lure them out here, with a false message that we want to be enlightened in their
faith. That is, if we even want those despicable people in our space."

[10:03] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "As a gesture of good will."

[10:04] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  *She frowned at T'Ghor with that.*

[10:04] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Enough with the battle plans, Lieutenant. We're not about to get ourselves involved in
another conflict after decades of war."

[10:04] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "The empire is nothing but bloody terorists, who has attacked us before in the msot cowardly ways
possible. Starfleet do not arm terrorists"

[10:04] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If we can avoid provoking them into an all-out war, then we should take steps to do so."

[10:04] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We already -are- in a conflict, lieutenant. And you are too blind to see it."

[10:04] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glares at T'Ghor-- "Mister T'Ghor you will belay such talk. Which part of hostile action
being off the table were you unclear about?"

[10:05] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "Not all Kirtascans are blind zealots.  Those who've infiltrated their highest
positions may be, but the people are good.  Just misguided by centuries of religious oppression."

[10:05] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He scoffs, not even wanting to grace that with a verbal answer.*

[10:05] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I did not mean the Kirtascans." *He shakes his head at Belir.* "I meant their leadership."

[10:05] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I think any thought toward combat with them is the wrong way to go.  I've seen many historical
examples of people mislead."

[10:06] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "If we could avoid going up against one of their battleships, that'd be fine with me."

[10:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at the crew-- "I realize the difficulty of this situation. But, you are starfleet
officers and as such you are obligated to act as such. If that is too difficult you can be relieved."

[10:07] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He sighed.*  "Yes, ma'am."

[10:07] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Yes, ma'am."  *She nodded.*

[10:07] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...Yes, Captain."

[10:07] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks specifically at T'Ghor.--

[10:08] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Does that obligation apply even when it goes agaisnt what you want, ma'am?"

[10:08] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He looked back at her, his eyes showing his full disapproval of her even considering it.*

[10:08] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "Let's... try and bring this back into focus.  So your current thought is to bring
the ships back to the Empire?"

[10:08] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Ilya-- "What exactly is that supposed to mean Lieutenant Ilya?"

[10:09] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.*

[10:09] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Giving the ships to terrorist that has repeated attacks against starfleet, Allied forces an innocents.
is against the very core principle of starfleet. Ma'am"

[10:10] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "It is their property, and as Belir noted three ships is hardly the bulk of their fleet."

[10:10] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It is still a matter of principle."

[10:10] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "But they're their ships, aren't they?  And thousands of their people died aboard
them."

[10:10] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So? Those people had their guns pointed at our heads."

[10:11] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yes.  THey did."

[10:11] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "We have never cared for ceased property when we take it of others that attack teh federation, commit
acts of terrorism or other deeds agaisnt the very bloody foundation of the federation"

[10:11] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "This isn't Federation space. Out here, we're on a frontier of unpredictable political and
physical hazards and it's a minefield through which we need to tread carefully."

[10:12] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I don't know about you, but I'd rather not intentionally put my foot on a mine just to test
its pressure sensitivity."

[10:12] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Lieutenant Zital is right.  We don't want to make things worse for our allies by
making them a target because of us."

[10:12] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Now, with respect to the Captain and our guest, I suggest we shut up and let them get on
with the actual decision making."

[10:12] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "So we just appease them because they whined for their stuff back after using it to
try and knock our teeth out?!"

[10:13] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You're out of line."

[10:13] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You make us act like we've already been defeated."

[10:13] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "So we are going to support terrorism, go agaisnt the bloody meaning of beign a starfleet officer. let
the mcontinue their terror. because it is 'inconvienent' to do the bloody right thing? What the >

[10:13] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > actual hell is wrong with you?"

[10:13] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods at Ilya.* "As I said, you're making it sound like we've lost this conflict! I am
not letting their moronic fear tactics affect me."

[10:14] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris stepped back and gestures to his left.* "There's the door. If you can't respect the
Captain's orders then see yourselves out."

[10:14] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Who do you think you are to give us orders?"

[10:14] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He shot Serris a death glare.*

[10:14] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "This is not the Federations first time dealing with hostile empires. You make it sound like these
Kirtascans are a threat the likes of which the Federation has never faced."

[10:14] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The Captain gave the orders, Lieutenant T'Ghor. I'm merely reminding you of that fact."

[10:15] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "All due respect, you are the one making it sound like that, Captain, with wanting to bow to
their demands."

[10:15] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that is how diplomacy works Mister T'Ghor."

[10:15] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "The most effective methods of changing minds is always through revelation of truth, and sharing of
good will.  We should find a way to do that, even if it is embedding visual files to play onboard."

[10:15] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "This is hardly a bloody threat like nithing before, and that makes it worse. if it was a fact we could
do jak shit about it. the nwe would have to admit we are cowards. but here we can do something"

[10:16] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods at Ilya.* "Diplomacy has failed, Captain. Last time we tried diplomacy with those
idiots, they released a creature that devoured several star systems."

[10:16] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We're guests of another power and our ability to operate in this space is contingent on
their ability to allow it. We are guests in the Large Magellanic Cloud, not residents. We should not go causing

[10:16] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And we tried diplomacy only because they forced us to through firepower and intimidation."

[10:16] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We did not come all the way to the LMC to dictate foreign policy to the people who live here."

[10:16] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: diplomatic incidents that our allies are forced to deal with the fallout of."

[10:17] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "War is not an option."

[10:17] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "They may have started the hostilitiees, but this may be our chance to end them
before they get out of hand."

[10:17] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor closed his eyes for a moment, so that he didn't start shouting or breaking things.*

[10:17] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Dealing with them is like beating your head against a wall, it does nothing and gives
you a headache."

[10:17] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "This discussion is over. As I stated this decision ultimately rests with the Dawn Alliance."

[10:18] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Then do remind the Dawn Alliance that the Kirtascan empire has been nothing but hostile."

[10:18] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I will remind them of that. Although i am sure that fact is not lost on them."

[10:18] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia folds her hands on her lap, and puts both feet on the floor.*

[10:18] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  *She drew in a breath and then nodded to T'Pang.*  "Very well, Captain.  I'm sorry I
could not be of more assistance."

[10:19] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to lady Belir-- "I apologize for the rather heated discussion. Recent events have been
difficult."

[10:19] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He had a sour look on his face.*

[10:20] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *looks like a cardassian version of Rhys*

[10:20] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "I can understand.  If you wish I can remain aboard in case anyone has more inquiries
about my people.  I wish to help any way I can."

[10:20] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *sat calmy, an unreadable expression on her face as she looked at the table*

[10:20] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Joins the grumpy gang of Rhys and Ilya*

[10:20] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li's face is a bit downcast.*

[10:21] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "You are welcome to remain aboard if you wish. I can have a cabin made available if you desire."

[10:21] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris folded his arms and simply watched the Captain with a neutral expression for the
remainder of the briefing.*

[10:21] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  "Thank you Captain.  Command will be expecting your recommendation by the end of the
day, I believe."

[10:22] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  *She rose from the chair and gave an elegant bow.*

[10:22] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I will prepare something. I will be sure to pass along all the thoughts and concerns of my
officers."

[10:23] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Belir]  *She nodded, folding her hands together and striding toward the door where Teir lead
her out.*

[10:23] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well that was.... productive."

[10:24] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Informative"

[10:24] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at each crew, waiting for the lady to exit the room before speaking--

[10:24] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she rose with the dignatary*

[10:24] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *Takes another sip of her tea*

[10:25] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He thumbed his temples as the door closed behind Belir.*

[10:25] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Talking to the kirtascans rationally is like trying to teach a pack of targ to sing opera.
You'll only end up wanting to decapitate them."

[10:25] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am rather concerned. I feel recent events have had a serious emotional and psychological imapct.
Keep in mind that counseling is available on the Citadel for those of you findin it difficult to cop

[10:25] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia waits until the guests have cleared the bridge, then sits.*

[10:28] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "What is your mind on this Captain, if I may ask what you will advise?"

[10:28] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *takes something out of her left upper arm pocket and puts it in her mouth*

[10:30] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I do not want to prevent my oficers from voicing their opinion, but there is a limit to what I
will put up with. Some of this beahvior is bordering on insubordination. That is not acceptable."

[10:31] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He clenched his jaw briefly and then nodded.*  "Yes, Captain.  I'm sorry, Captain."

[10:31] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *Scoffs, taking another sip of her tea*

[10:31] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor stays silent for the moment.*

[10:32] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She eyeballed T'Ghor and Ilya.*

[10:32] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at the doctor-- "We have been over this doctor."

[10:33] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I mean, what will you tell the Dawn alliance? you are being asked for your recomendation are you
not?"

[10:34] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Mostly I am just going to remind them of the facts of our current relationship with the
Kirtascans. And, that if the Dawn Alliance wishes to take action against hem it is up to them and not me or Sta

[10:34] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Starfleet.

[10:36] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I guess that's all we can do..."  *She frowned.*

[10:36] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Permission to speak freely, Captain."

[10:36] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li furrows his brows.*

[10:36] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Very well Mister Zital."

[10:37] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If we're this divided internally, I do concur with your earlier assessment that another ship
and crew would be better suited to diplomatic relations going forward."

[10:38] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks relieved to hear one smart thing come out of Serris' mouth when it comes to this
issue.*

[10:38] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "And maybe a few teamwork exercises on the holodeck..."  *She muttered.*

[10:38] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The situation is, perhaps, still too raw for many on the crew. Some time away from it may
allow for tensions to ease and present a more objective, unified crew."

[10:38] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I will also raise that issue with command as well."

[10:39] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris nodded.* "That was all."

[10:39] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm not terriby familiar with our guest's ability to influence back home.  Would it be possible for
her to circulate evidence of what happened so to undermine the High Pontiff's unyielding control?"

[10:39] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Just please tell me we're not going back to Risa..."

[10:39] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Don't worry, Lieutenant, you're not in danger of getting glassed by Nausicaans any time
soon."

[10:39] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "our guest is a wanted criminal. I don't think she carries any weight with the Pontiff."

[10:40] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well, she's apparently been chased out of the Empire because she was getting too
popular with the people.  She still has allies back on her homeworld, as she mentioned."

[10:40] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I meant, with the people, Captain."

[10:40] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I feel the need to point out that directly or indirectly aiding the insurrection and
rebellion against another species' government is a flagrant violation of the Prime Directive."

[10:40] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that I could not answer doctor. That is a question for LAdy Belir."

[10:41] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Our actions are limited here by Federation law and Starfleet regulations."

[10:41] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Unless a state of hostily exist between the federation or said bloody government"

[10:41] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I think it's pretty damn existent..."

[10:42] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "They're been pretty damn hostile.  Only thing that stopped them from blowing us out
of the sky last time was it was Kirtascan Christmas or whatever."

[10:42] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And until the Federation Council formally declares the Kirtascan Empire a hostile power, we
will do our best to abide by our existing statutes and regulations."

[10:42] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Have you read their holy book? I actually had to deal with that crap. I wouldn't wish that
"life" on my worst enemy."

[10:42] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she rubs the bridge of her nose.--

[10:42] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Can't say I've cracked the damn thing open."

[10:42] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "You are all dismissed."

[10:43] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Colour yourself lucky."

[10:43] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris is the first one out the door, rolling his eyes.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "yes Ma'am." *she rises and makes her way to the door, not another word.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She gave T'Pang an apologetic look, getting up and heading out.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor gives Rhys an approving Klingon pat on the shoulder as he walked out.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He got up and left without a word.  He nodded to T'Ghor.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *Recycles her cup and heads out to the bridge*

[10:44] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris returned to engineering looking positively irritated and radiating discontent.*

[10:44] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...What happened?"

[10:44] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Giving the Kirtascans their ship back... what's next, yoga classes with the Dark?"

[10:44] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *gets to her feet shaking her head*

[10:44] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (MT)

[10:44] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Do you want the cliff notes or do you want the honest opinion?"

[10:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Giving the Kirtascans their ships back... what's next, yoga classes with the Dark?"

[10:44] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Honest opinion, I guess?"

[10:44] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --watches as the officers file out of the conference room--

[10:45] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Deck 11.

[10:45] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm looking for new postings. Half of the senior staff are emotional children."

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "When someone holds you up with a phaser, you don't give it back just because they
asked for it."

[10:45] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --when the room is empty she buries her face in her hands.--

[10:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Lets give the mserris, They will all comit suicide after a week if his lobotomized experiments has not
already killed them by then. Bloody problem solved and he can have done a single good thing in >

[10:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > his missereble existance"

[10:46] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *goes to the security console and checks on her delta team*

[10:46] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...That's a solid plan, Lieutenant. I would sign off on it."

[10:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...You realise that just two weeks ago we all almost died in a horrifying death cloud
full of ghosts, right?"

[10:46] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Sounds boring to me"

[10:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "People don't just bounce back from that."

[10:46] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Computer, activate Mau, er.. link that command to activation of program 'Sickbay Companion #92', and
initiate."

[10:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "If we agree on something, that must mean it is atleast worth lookign in to by command"

[10:47] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Need I remind you that I just went through that, too, AND had my sense of self and identity
completely rewired against my will not even two months ago?"

[10:47] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --after a couple of minutes, she stands and head out--

[10:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Nope... I'm just saying."

[10:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "When the captain gets back out here, I say we suggest it. She would see the logic."

[10:47] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If I can be an adult and remember the rules, so can they."

[10:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...Actually, no. I doubt she would, at this point."

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I liked you better when you where wrong every time you opened your mouth"

[10:48] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A holographic kitty appeared on the desk.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Eh. TImes change."

[10:48] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she steps out onto the bridge with a severe Vulcan expression on her face.--

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] "...Captain."

[10:49] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks briefly over her shoulder at the captain*

[10:49] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she truns sharply toward Gayle-- "Yes Lieutenant?"

[10:49] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That entire briefing was a circus. They embarrassed the Captain in front of a diplomatic
guest."

[10:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Li to Ensign Sulok.

[10:49] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Um... just acknowleding that you stepped onto the bridge."

[10:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  =/\= "Sulok here, sir."

[10:49] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Thank you lieutenant."

[10:50] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sounds like the Captain should've wrangled them better then."

[10:50] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "She tried, they refused to listen to her. It was absolutely ridiculous."

[10:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Report.

[10:51] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris quite literally has the Starfleet Human Resources internal job postings board up on
his screen.*

[10:51] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  "We are nearly finished with applying the holotransmitters to the outer hallway,
sir."

[10:52] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Serris, don't you think you're being a little reactionary?"

[10:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --takes a seat, looking all broody. --

[10:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Understood.

[10:52] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You keep poking me and we're going to have that talk ahead of schedule."

[10:52] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "How'd it go?"  *She walked over to Li.*

[10:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He threw his hands up.*  "Fine... fine."

[10:53] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The less said, the better.

[10:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "That bad?"

[10:54] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *While Li may be reserved, Serris' body language across the room betrays a much more open
disdain.*

[10:54] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia turns around the chair, opens the piano and starts playing.* ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=Uf4zmxARHBo )

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *taps a PADD, smiling blisfully as she fantesies away at something*

[10:55] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It was not good.

[10:55] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She cleared her throat lightly.*  "Well, uh... since we're probably not going to be
leaving the Citadel soon now, I don't imagine all of us have to be on the bridge."

[10:55] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *takes a Candy out of her pocket and puts it in her mouth*

[10:56] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia lets the cat on her lap while she plays, till it moves to wind in her feet.*

[10:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Oh... tell me about it later, then?"

[10:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Im fine, I do not have holodeck booked untill Beta shift"

[10:57] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The labs are still crunching older data, I have nothing to do either..."

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "There's still the Citadel."

[10:58] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Cleaned out my loaned quarters"

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *she twitched.*

[10:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah, sure.

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "My drinking buddy is still sleeping."

[10:59] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Get more drinking buddies"

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He facepalmed.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Alpha shift will reconvene at the usual time tomorrow. At which time we will be commenceing
training drills for the entirety of the shift."

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I have several, it becomes harder when they're spread out through several ship and galaxies."

[11:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "So you all may wish to get some rest until then."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Will delta drills be included?"

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Great... team building exercises."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "What kind of square bashing, ma'am?"

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She shot Rhys a glare.*

[11:01] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes all deaprtments will be included."

[11:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I remember a bloody briliatn teambuilding exercise on the ark"

[11:01] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Beta shift, report to your stations please."

[11:02] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Do enlighten us, Lieutenant."

[11:02] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He stands up from his console to wait for his relief, looking at Ilya.*

[11:02] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris wastes no time in logging off his console and heading for the door.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "We where left alone on a holo sim of the bridge, forced to do all the job of all bridge officers... I
think the purpose was to teach us to value eachother or some pish posh... I jsut found it bloody>

[11:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: < peaceful to be able to do my damn job for once without hearing peopels constant bitching"

[11:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is working on setting up the duties rosters for the next set of shifts until alpha as
engineering cycles.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *lets out a barking laugh, clearly amused*

[11:03] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Not to mention, it sounds damn useful for cases when someone gets knocked out on the bridge."

[11:03] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he headed after Serris.*  "Serris?"

[11:03] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She headed over to lean her cheek on Li's shoulder.*

[11:04] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Yea, that to I guess"

[11:04] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He slowed down to allow Kol to catch up, but kept moving.* "Yes?"

[11:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Their reliefs started to filter in.  Rhys fistbumped the tiny Ensign Brak.*

[11:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Mind telling me what's going on?"

[11:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods to whoever came to replace him, though his bad mood is obvious.*

[11:05] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He stopped and pivoted on his heels in the middle of the corridor, looking up at Kol.* "I
hate it here." *He said with no hesitation.*

[11:05] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Nairem]  "Something wrong, sir?"

[11:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You've hated it here since we first met."

[11:05] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Waits for her replacement, resetting the console to standard layout for them*

[11:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Shakes his head.* "Ideological differences. Carry on, you'll most probably have a calm shift
ahead of you."

[11:06] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You're right, I've always hated it here, but at least before, I had a sense of purpose to
keep me going. Something bigger than myself that was going to change the way we look at the universe and -

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Nairem]  "Very well, Lieutenant."

[11:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He slightly nods his head towards the Super romulan tetris shortcut on the console.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Then nods to Nairem and walks off.*

[11:06] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia finishes the piece, closes the piano, picks up the cat and turns around to check for any
unfiled paperwork on the tests from earlier, not wishing to leave work for Vant.*

[11:06] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - change lives. Now that's gone. Now I can't be in the same room as one of my subordinates
without having a panic attack because I caved in his counterpart's skull with my bare hands in a fit of rage.

[11:07] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: And when I'm like that, I can't even reach for you, because I'm going to see your face and
it's going to remind me of what your counterpart did rustling through my head. -

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  *She took the helm control.*  "What a time to be a pilot, when we're sitting in dock,
huh?"

[11:08] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: I had everything taken away from me with no rhyme or reason, and the more I think about it,
the angrier I get. Add in the fact that I'm already not happy here, and things are beginning to snowball."

[11:08] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I try to reach out, find something new to keep me going, but my own social ineptitudes end
up fucking it up and I'm just left the same, broken mess I am now."

[11:08] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "There, satisfied?"

[11:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He sighed, bending down somewhat to try and embrace the little blueberry.*  "No, I'm
not.  You're hurting, I could never be satisfied."

[11:09] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sits there in her captain's chair brooding.--

[11:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "No idea. readyness and all. I downlaoded some fresh pressed files of new ships and their handeling,
brows em if you want"

[11:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain?  You, um, need to talk or something?"

[11:10] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And I get so frustrated. Ilya's always complaining and bringing down the mood and I just
don't need that kind of negativity on top of everything that's going. She's always belittled my work and -

[11:10] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mreshi.  I'm going to the mess hall.  No work, but call me if something comes in, or if Dr Vant
relieves you."

[11:10] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - called me crazy, and I'm pretty sure the rest of the crew thinks I'm annoying already."
*He's getting more and more upset as he rambles.*

[11:10] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  "Yes, ma'am!"  *Her tail swayed some as she waved to Dahlia.*

[11:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --does not respond to Gayle.--

[11:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Captain?"

[11:11] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Serris... if you let them drive you away, you're letting them win.  Not just the
people who put you down, but the people who did this to you.  They didn't get the chance to take your work, ...

[11:11] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Computer, link command 'run along Mau' to cancelation of program 'Sickbay Companion #92' and then
end the program."

[11:11] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: give them the victory in destroying everything you are."

[11:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at the officers.-- "I was under the impression the two of you were relieved for the
day?"

[11:11] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor, waiting for something, raises an eyebrow at the back of T'Pang's head.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Ma'am, just remember that what you said about counseling being available... it goes
for you, too.  We all went through some sh--- bad stuff back there."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Another day then" *She shrugs impassively and walks towards the lift*

[11:13] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The holo-kitty vainished from sight.*

[11:13] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can't do it, Zandris. I look at everyone and I see them as someone they never were. I rode
the turbolift down here with Ensign Sulok the other day, and all I can think of is the time I slammed his

[11:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --plots some wall to wall counseling--

[11:13] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: head on an engineering console and broke his nose and he bled everywhere."

[11:13] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I look around this ship, I know it and its systems in ways I'm not supposed to. I get
associations of memories that never happened."

[11:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor enters the lift, giving Ilya an "I want to talk" look.* "Call out your deck."

[11:14] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He cringed somewhat, looking away.*  "Maybe... this isn't the best place for you to
heal right now," *he murmured.*

[11:14] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Deck four"

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Mess hall."

[11:14] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Engineering used to be my comfort zone, now it's my personal hell, but I can't face Jagoda
in the science lab because I'm never going to be able to forget him desperately trying to push me away while

[11:14] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: I just kept pushing."

[11:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Deck five."

[11:15] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He gestures with his hands as he talks, suggesting something truly heinous involving a
skull.*

[11:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "So... what are you going to do?  Try to go to the Daystrom Institute and resume your
work?"

[11:15] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Bloody day"

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "That was a cluster and a half."

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The lift took off.*

[11:16] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor scoffs.* "And here I hoped we would just be doing systems checks. Turns out, we're
buddying up with terrorists."

[11:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Briliant"

[11:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "No one's buddying with anyone."

[11:16] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He slumps back against the wall and sits on the floor, running his hands through his hair as
he tries not to cry.* "I don't know anymore."

[11:16] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks down at the captain, waiting for the next lift*

[11:16] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali orders a hot tea from the replicator in the mess hall.* "Delancey Personal File 'Raspbery black
tea sweet.'"

[11:17] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "True. The captain more wants us to bend over for them like a cheap orion girl from Drozana."

[11:17] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Don't make a heat of the moment decision, Serris.  You're upset, you'll just do
something you may end up regretting.  Let's get you to your room."  *He offered him a hand.*

[11:17] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Don't make a heat of the moment decision, Serris.  You're upset, you'll just do
something you may end up regretting.  Let's get you to your room."  *He offered him a hand.*

[11:17] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's not my room anymore. I don't even sleep in my bed, I haven't been in there since I got
back."

[11:18] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She got out quickly as they got to the mess hall.*

[11:18] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The tea materialised for Dahlia.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "We do bloody well not need to go to war here and now with the mingers. But nither should we return
equiment to terorists. if -they- declare war on us for that, it is their bloody war. we can not be >

[11:18] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He takes the hand regardless and stands up.*

[11:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "We can go to my room, then."  *he offered a small smile.*

[11:19] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she takes the tea, goes and leans on the back of the couch, PADD in hand, working on a video file,
facing out the viewport.*

[11:19] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I found a Delta uniform jacket on the floor." *He said quietly.*

[11:19] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > balackmailed like penny cheap tossers to give them arsenal to keep on terrorising or they declare war.
We are damn better then that shit"

[11:19] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Huh?"

[11:20] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Near the bedroom. That's why I don't go in there. He ruined it. He ruined everything."

[11:20] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He sighed, running his hand through his hair.*  "He did," *he agreed quietly.*

[11:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We are. Plus, you said it. They have been hostile to us since day one..." *T'Ghor scoffs.*
"If only the Argentina was still around... I could use the tractor beam to play bowling with those >

[11:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Bastards' ships..."

[11:21] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "If the Ark was here we would have a bloody turkeyshoot on them"

[11:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Hell, any of my old postings would make mincemeat out of those lizards."

[11:21] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So would the argentina... Hell, as I said, only the tractor beam would have caused them more
issue than 3 Pilgrims..."

[11:22] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm sorry. I know you want things to go back to normal and I want to fix things and get
better, but I'm just going insane here."

[11:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "I'm starting to think Ilya has the right idea, and we should blow this thing up and
try to get them to replace it with a nice one.  Maybe a Solbianca..."

[11:22] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Thats because the pilgrim can not even succeed with finding a regelan wale in a foodbarrel"

[11:23] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Solbianca... Hell, I'd be happy with an Armitage at this point."

[11:23] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "A REAL solbianca" *She gave Gayle a stare*

[11:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Gayle had already hopped out.  The lift opened on the next deck.*

[11:24] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Looks at where she htought Gayle was* "OH... Wanted a chinwag, Prof?"

[11:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Quite the short one. But I did."

[11:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I think we all are.  Come on.  I'll help you throw out all the old furniture and
replace it with new stuff.  Untouched stuff."

[11:25] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You can even break the old stuff if you want."

[11:25] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He nods, entering the turbolift.* "Can we get lunch first?"

[11:25] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *Walks out as it was her deck* "Come then"

[11:25] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sure."  *He followed.*

[11:25] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Right beside you."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *walks into the lift, calling out* "Mess hall"

[11:26] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: *Walks a bit to a more empty coridor* "So whats up?"

[11:27] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I know you don't like me, and you might have your reasons too, I did not help your opinion of
me much either. But at least while we seem to be two of the three people on the bridge who have some >

[11:27] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Deck two, mess hall." *He called out to Majel Barrett's voice.*

[11:27] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Common sense left, I propose a truce. Who knows, we may be able to get some, like Gayle, to
act like sensible beings again.

[11:28] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia cringes when the video gets to the entity bursting out of the crystal.. but allows the image
to play out again before making another cut.*

[11:28] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "I do not nessesarily dislike -you- I bloody hate scientist who thinks battle is the tiem to test
crackpot ideas or waste peoples time with pointless shit. as logn as you abstain from the above, you >

[11:28] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > can have your truce"

[11:29] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "And like most people I dislike idiots, I am jsut more vocal about it"

[11:29] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "I am not Zital. I do not think we'll have an issue with that. Give me some
good old holoprojectors and a tractor beam and I'm happy... And I apologize for making comments about your >

[11:30] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *walks into the mess hall looking around a moment*

[11:30] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Flying skills. They are a bit wasted on this ship, I would say. You clearly have a faster
style."

[11:30] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She cuts as the suit camera lose image due to beaming, then patches in the sensor image of the black
cloud spilling out and taking out the kirtascan ships witout even trying.*

[11:31] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "I am not the best pilot around, would be a tradgedy if I was. and you are right. this thing should
have... if this bloody barrage of the damned needed to exist>

[11:31] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The lift whisked them off.*

[11:31] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: > it could have some scientist with extra classes in flying, not a bloody dedicated FC wasting theri
career on this mess"

[11:32] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *A weary-looking Blueberry walks in with a tall, lean Betazoid in tow, heading for the lunch
line.*

[11:32] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If you want to transfer, pitch that idea to T'Pang. I would gladly sacrifice some free time
to be able to dualtask, if need be."

[11:32] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She cuts in on the tow work, pulling along the derelict ships.  Then she asks quietly for the
computer to play sequence, scanning for anything considered to be classified.*

[11:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li finishes up the roster.*

[11:33] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "The problem is Valkriss, not T'Pang. Im bloody sure she would be chuffed... if vulcans could feel
anything but thier twisted failure of logic... to have me anywhere but here"

[11:34] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "I see... She's a good woman. I can undertand your dilemma."

[11:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  "What will it be?"  *He asked as Serris and Kol arrived.*

[11:35] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Im considering resigning to take up a courier service in the milkyway, express cargo only"

[11:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She smiled at Li.*

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

[11:35] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Hit me with a party salad-sized bowl of bacon macaroni and cheese and a pitcher of water."

[11:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Hey yourself.  You done?"

[11:35] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks in the direction of the food line, she walks over to the line*

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

[11:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...Chicken caesar salad, please.  Don't tell Koros I ordered it."

[11:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  *He chuckled.*  "You got it..."  *He put their orders in.*

[11:36] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I imagine you know how us klingons are. The Commander would take it... hard, if you left.
Stars know the bridge would be more boring without you around too."

[11:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris sat at a table in the corner away from everyone else.* "I'm sorry for putting you
through this. We both know you didn't sign up for this level of crazy."

[11:37] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *From in back, they could hear a Klingon roaring.*  "WHO KEEPS ORDERING -PLANTS?!-"

[11:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li wraps an arm around her waist.*

[11:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She kissed him gently.*  "Want to hit the mess hall?"

[11:37] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "She knows."

[11:38] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks at Vernon as her turn comes up in the line*

[11:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  *He offered Nkiru a smile.*  "What can I get for you?  So long as we can replicate
the ingredients we can make most dishes in the Federation."

[11:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You hungrY?

[11:39] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Good... I said what I wanted to you anyways. I have no more issues with you than I have with
most of the universe."

[11:39] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Yeah... nausea passed while you were in your meeting."

[11:40] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "No, but who ever signs up for the craziness most relationships devolve into?"

[11:40] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Scary how much we agree on all of a sudden... I guess ill move you down on the priority list for killing
the universe... or do you prefere up? Token of truce letting you pick and what not"

[11:40] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Hmm that bowl of Bacon, mag and cheese sounded good, throw in some diced sausages and I would
like that"

[11:40] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I think this is well beyond that level of crazy, Zandris."

[11:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  *He tapped at the PADD.*  "I'll let you know when it's ready."

[11:41] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Good.

[11:41] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *nodded her head* "Blue Skies"

[11:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I know.  But that doesn't mean I can just walk away."

[11:42] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Up or down... doesn't really matter, so long as I get to help out with some."

[11:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "At this point, I wouldn't begrudge you if you did."

[11:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She grinned, leading him to the turbolift.*

[11:42] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *turns and looks around the mess hall, to see if there are any she could perhaps join*

[11:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "We've already been through this conversation.  It's not happening again.  You're not
getting rid of me."

[11:43] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Computer, save file under header Hessok Vridi Visuals."

[11:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Even if I'm millions of lightyears away at the Daystrom Institute, or back home on Toron V?"

[11:43] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Sure... Guess tere are some donkeys to spare for all. Bloody dark is right, universe needs a restart...
just going about it the wrong freaking way"

[11:44] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I'll catch flights over."  *He smirked.*  "I'm sure I can find a grav suit that would
let me clunk around on Toron V.  I'd just be less handsome."

[11:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I love you, and I'm grateful for you, but even I can see that our entire relationship
dynamic is essentially you supporting me when I'm moody."

[11:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So... let's change that. What's bothering you?"

[11:44] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "A restart... maybe not. I say we're just cursed with the universe's worst luck and are
surrounded by mostly the wrong people."

[11:45] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *notices Serris and Kol and walks in their direction*

[11:45] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks into the turbolift.*

[11:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He was silent then, looking down at the table as he considered that.*  "Honestly, I
haven't had the... I don't know, time to think about that very much."

[11:45] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Yea... Hopefully a good sorting out, removing 1/10 and ofcusing on the rotten numpys and maybe it can
recover... maybe"

[11:45] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Mess hall..."  *She wrapped her arms around Li.*

[11:45] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, whatever you saw during that parallel reality convergence seemed to really bug you."

[11:45] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He notices Nkiru walking over and perks up.* "Oh, hi."

[11:46] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Mmmmm...

[11:46] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he looked up as well, offering a small smile.*  "Hello," *said the Betazoid.*  "Don't
think we've met."

[11:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She nuzzled his neck affectionately as the lift shot upward.*

[11:47] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah. One can dream... I will go check on some things in the lab. Good night, Lieutenant."

[11:47] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Hey, mind if I sit here?" *she looks at the two with a bit of a stone face* "We havent, Nkiru
Jelani, the new lead Delta on the ship"

[11:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Zandris Kol, Engineering."  *He offered her a hand.*

[11:47] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Have a seat." *He paused.* "I guess what happened must have made Lieutenant Amanar jump
ship."

[11:48] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *reaches for Kol's hand and shakes it before having a seat*

[11:48] [DOIC2] Ilya@Illuice: "Bang on. And its lefthenant, dont be a pl... idiot. Good night"

[11:49] [DOIC2] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He nods and turns around, to head off.*

[11:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "He was never meant to be permanent, I don't think.  They probably wanted him back out
in our galaxy fighting the Hur'q."

[11:49] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: Amanar? I was told there was not a permanent detachment of Delta on the ship before I was put in
charge of this new unit?"

[11:50] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yeah, I just wish I'd gotten the chance to apologize to the guy for ruining his vacation."

[11:50] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "He was never meant to be permanent, I don't think.  They probably wanted him back out
in our galaxy fighting the Hur'q."

[11:50] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Satified with the datafile, she locks her padd and sets it beside her, picking the mug back up she
cradles it and stares out at the star system outside the citadel and Pilgrim windows.*

[11:52] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "IN any case you got me now, and my unit, that will hopefully be fully staffed soon"

[11:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  "Zital, Kol, Jelani, your orders are ready!"

[11:52] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yeah, I'm hoping that Command will bump us up in priority for restaffing after everything
that happened."

[11:52] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris rises.* "I'll go grab that, you two stay put."

[11:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sure thing."

[11:52] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Thanks, man"

[11:53] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He walked to the galley, grabbing the trays and bringing them over, lookin' like a damned
Starfleet-issue waitress with his decidedly odd choice of uniform.*

[11:53] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "They finally get on you about your skant, Serris?"

[11:54] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm still trying to get them to cave and let me wear a sleeveless version, these things are
so stuffy."

[11:54] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Should've known the good times wouldn't last forever."

[11:55] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "There's still plenty of leg for you to admire." *He set the trays down and set upon his food
like something out of NatGeo.*

[11:55] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Sleeveless skant, or uniform?"

[11:55] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She dragged Li outof the lift and into the mess hall.*

[11:56] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Well, somehow he was able to get away with wearing one of those old skants from like
sixty years ago for a little bit before he got called out."

[11:56] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "In fairness, I was told one of the counselors on the Adagio was doing it."

[11:57] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...Wasn't that little fairy girl, was it?"

[11:57] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  *He looked at Jill and Li.*  "What'll it be?"

[11:57] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No, the tall guy. Okay, poor descriptor, because everyone's tall to me."

[11:57] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He's a Betazoid."

[11:57] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "They against the Star fleet dress code?" *raises an eyebrow starting to eat, mag, cheese, bacon
and Sausage*

[11:57] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "The bald trill?  Oh!"

[11:57] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What do you want?

[11:58] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "...Is it weird I could really go for hasperat right now?"

[11:58] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Not skants, just the old versions."

[11:59] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'd hardly call this comparable. Skirt with long sleeves." *He scoffed, scarfing down more
pasta.*

[11:59] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Nope. Two hasperat rolls, please.

[11:59] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Maybe next time they arbitrarily change the uniform you can tell them not to put
sleeves on."

[12:00] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  *he nodded and put their order in.*

[12:00] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She curled up against Li.*

[12:00] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've gotten used to it. My people naturally inhabit warmer climates, our clothing is pretty
minimalistic in comparison."

[12:00] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sidehugs her as they wait for their food.*

[12:01] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Long as they don't change my combat boots or give me an outfit impossible to move in"

[12:01] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Is that why you were wearing that silver banana hammock on Risa?"

[12:01] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I was trying to tan."

[12:01] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  *He handed them their tray not long after.*

[12:02] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Mhm, nothing to do with that 'Ladan' fellow."

[12:02] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He squinted at Kol, trying to figure out what his angle was.*

[12:03] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he offered Serris that stupid smile.*

[12:03] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles at Jill.*

[12:03] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Should we, um, sit down?"  *She turned, looking at the empty seats.*

[12:03] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "At least my tropical resort hook-ups didn't come at me with a mek'leth."

[12:03] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He shrugged, finishing off the last of his pasta.*

[12:04] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Too bad."  *He nibbled his salad.*

[12:04] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *lets out a rather booming laught, shaking her head a bit* "That actually happened? "

[12:04] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She finally can sip her tea, and checks her chrono readout on her PADD.*

[12:04] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You ENJOY almost getting stabbed?" *He looked positively horrified.*

[12:04] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Klingons are passionate people."

[12:04] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "She tried to STAB you."

[12:05] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Anywhere you want to go?

[12:05] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "It was part of the mating ritual."

[12:05] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris looks as if he's about to speak, then hesitates and sighs, resting his face in his
palm.*

[12:05] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She looked around, worrying her lip.*  "Um, you pick?"

[12:06] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Usually agression is, but less stabby from her side if you catch my drift"

[12:06] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shrugs and takes a seat at a nearby table.*

[12:06] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Who says she wasn't trying to return the favour?"

[12:06] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She followed after him, taking Li's hand as they sat down.*

[12:06] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You never tried to stab me, and I didn't see any violet blood."

[12:06] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He just smirked.*

[12:07] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He narrowed his eyes at Zandris.* "You are positively bizarre."

[12:07] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "That's why you keep me around, isn't it?"

[12:07] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li starts digging into the hasperat.*

[12:08] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Chef.. you make to order or only on your menu?  I can just order from the replicator if it's too
much trouble."

[12:08] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *smirks wehile eating, then looks at Serris* "This food was a good idea"

[12:08] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I work off the excess calories in high G, I don't know what your routine is."

[12:08] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  "Oh, I'm not the chef, I just relay orders.  He's not much of a... people person.
He can make most things you request, though if he hasn't heard of it before he'll need a minute to watch...

[12:08] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: the tutorial."

[12:09] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I hear Deltas bench press each other in their off time."

[12:09] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Eh, I don't go strictly for strength conditioning. I'm a gymnast, that's only part of the
equation. Flexibility's important, too."

[12:09] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "That's alright, I have a replicator file, things of home I had copied in case.  Thanks anyway.
Maybe tomorrow."

[12:09] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Hard daily workout of endurance, strength and Aquility, to keep my body in peak condition" *she
shakes her head* "THat would be to little wait"

[12:09] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: Weight*

[12:10] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vernon]  "Alright ma'am," *he smiled.*

[12:10] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...Heh."

[12:10] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She took a bite as well, touching Li's knee with her own under the table.*

[12:10] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've actually thought about teaching dance classes on board just to give myself something to
do."

[12:10] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "We more fight eachother in our spare time, kick eachothers asses"

[12:11] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "What kinda dancing?"

[12:11] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...Sounds, uh, fun."

[12:12] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she sets the tea on the table, gets out a chip and slots it in the replicator.*  "Welsh Rarebit,
scotch eggs and a glass of Irn-Bru"

[12:12] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I was in artistic gymnastics, so I did a lot of dance elements before I transitioned over to
Federation competitive standards. I dabble in a lot of stuff, but I'll stick to upbeat stuff. People seem

[12:12] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: to like that better."

[12:13] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The replicator produces Dalli's order to the chip's specifications.*

[12:13] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Interesting, think I will stick to my kind of dancing"

[12:14] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "We could probably use a cheer squad on this ship after everything."

[12:14] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "A Hype man?"

[12:14] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Don't even act like you wouldn't go just to see me stretching around in yoga pants." *He
rolled his eyes at Kol.*

[12:14] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She collects the chip, puts it away then takes the tray back to the table*

[12:14] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I could see you with no pants much easier..."

[12:15] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She chuckled, leaning over to kiss Li gently.*

[12:15] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not in front of the lady." *He boots Kol's shin.*

[12:15] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks around at the table* "Lady?"

[12:16] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Ow..."  *he rubbed his shin tenderly.*

[12:16] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Sorry. Strength disparity."

[12:16] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grins at her.*

[12:16] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Do you need it elevated?"

[12:16] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You've hurt me way worse..."

[12:16] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He covers his face, which is practically glowing violet.*

[12:16] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Your mood seems to have improved."

[12:17] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Vant still glares every time he sees me in the hall."

[12:17] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... I'm sure he does." *He muttered, muffled by his hands.*

[12:18] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "What convinced him to stick around, anyway? I thought he wanted to head back to the Milky
Way after a replacement chief medical officer came on board."

[12:18] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He emerged from his hidey hands out of sheer curiosity.*

[12:18] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: A little, yeah.

[12:18] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I think he's waiting for someone to look at his transfer request.  Surprised he didn't
just get on the first shuttle to Starbase 220."

[12:18] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *eats on following the conversation, wondering if she was the lady, then shaking her head at the
thought*

[12:19] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He's probably thought about hijacking the Thunderpuncher."

[12:19] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Teeth probably turned him off from that idea."

[12:19] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can't believe they actually printed that on the hull."

[12:19] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she separates the two pieces of toast, and the two pieces of egg shaped meat balls onto two plates
evenly split, takes a sip of the orange colored fizzy and sets up a second place setting.*

[12:19] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She scooted her chair a little closer to Li, laying against him as they ate.*

[12:20] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "We didn't... Teeth keeps scratching it in every time we repaint it."

[12:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Have you thought about just letting him have it?"

[12:21] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I think Commander Valkriss let him have it in parentheses."

[12:21] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris looked over to Nkiru.* "Did you have any zany characters on your last assignment?"

[12:22] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she sets the tray down on the seat where the drink and food ar placed, then proceeds to slowly eat
her meal, leaving half set aside as if another was to sit there.*

[12:23] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li quickly finishes his, leaning against her.*

[12:23] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Most delta are Crazy, some say I am more then most, I have been moved around alot, hard to get
to know people, this is my first atachement to a ship or place"

[12:23] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Welcome to the asylum."

[12:23] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You haven't seen our show, have you?"

[12:23] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Oh, Deities..."

[12:24] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "A single episode I think, I fell asleep"

[12:24] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You're better for it.  Though the colouring book was pretty cute..."

[12:25] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You know the picture of us has me in the old skant?"

[12:25] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She kissed his cheek, eating her hasperat.*

[12:25] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You did wear it for a long time."

[12:26] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Be ready for a new set of pilgrim Honey Badger with weapons plushies"

[12:26] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Honey badger?"

[12:26] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Mmmmm.

[12:27] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *Shows her Delta unit badge on her right shoulder* "THat is what we named the Unit, Honey
Badgers"

[12:27] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "even have a special PJ badge"

[12:27] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He chuckled.*  "Now that's just damn cute."

[12:28] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Doing okay there?"  *She chuckled.*

[12:28] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "They are in the earth record books on the planet as the most fearless of all wildlife"

[12:29] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Really?  The name just sounds like an adorable, cuddly thing."

[12:29] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali sips her tea, looks at the stars and slowly, almost daintily eats her food.  A far away
expression on her face.*

[12:29] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Wonderful.

[12:29] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *takes out her padd and brings up the two badges side by side, then putting the padd on the table
so both can see it*

[12:29] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "They look cuddly but anger them and you got a problem"

[12:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can relate."

[12:30] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sounds like someone I know."

[12:30] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She smirked at him and finished her hasperat.*

[12:30] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Never judge by looks or size"

[12:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Like the time the Kirtascans took over the ship and I got so fed up with the whole situation
that I pried open the reinforced brig doors with my bare hands."

[12:31] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks at Serris* "If you ever get bored with science and want to kick ass, come see me"

[12:31] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles warmly at her.*

[12:32] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Ever thought of going Delta?"  *he smirked at Serris.*

[12:32] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm kind of lost career-wise right about now, but I don't know if that's in the cards. I was
looking to get some hand-to-hand combat training, though."

[12:32] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Speaking of which," he looked to Kol. "Remind me to send Ensign Teir an apology gift basket
or something."

[12:32] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Ja'ital..."  *She touched his cheek.*

[12:33] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Hand to hand, I happen to be pretty good at that"

[12:33] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Mmmm...Jill.

[12:34] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, after I got abducted, almost glassed in a bar fight by a Nausicaan pervert, and
kidnapped by Kirtascans... a refresher on my basic training from the Academy seems more than overdue."

[12:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Yes, Li?"

[12:34] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Look I don't do basic, you come to me, you learn to put fuckers down"

[12:35] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Hard"

[12:35] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li leans in to whisper something.*

[12:35] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sounds like what I need, really."

[12:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sounds like a great idea."

[12:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She grinned, grabbing Li's hand and getting up.*

[12:37] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "my mine dicipline is an old fighting style called Krav Maga, its all about taking out multiple
and possibly armed people fast and efficiently, using weak points and the like"

[12:37] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: My main*

[12:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... That sounds exactly like what Ensign Teir does."

[12:38] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li gets up with her.*

[12:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She quickly dragged Li out of the mess hall.*

[12:38] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "if it includes stuff like kicking in the crutch and striking the throat, maybe"

[12:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He instinctively closed his legs defensively.*

[12:39] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He's pretty efficient with stuff like that. More throat striking, though."

[12:40] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "I should have a talk with the Ensign, anyway point being in combat, you don't have time to play
nice"

[12:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You two would probably get along."

[12:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Teir's always struck me as one of those 'doesn't get along with many people' types."

[12:41] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Stranger things has happened"

[12:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He's a good guy, he's just not very patient. And I kind of pushed his boundaries with
patience."

[12:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "But if he ever calls me an annoying brat again, he's going to regret it."

[12:43] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "How did you push him?"

[12:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He said he only invited me along to HIS training, that he wasn't going to show me how to
fight, and that if I was going to be an annoying brat, I could leave."

[12:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, I left, then I came back in some stubborn attempt to prove myself and he just left."

[12:44] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I've sensed he's had something on his mind lately.  It probably wasn't anything you
did."

[12:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "And he's been getting mad every time we get to the Citadel lately."

[12:45] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Might have something to do with that parallel universe convergence. I'll have to ask him
about it."

[12:46] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Parallel Universe convergence? that needs an explination"

[12:46] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Some species was warping reality, some of us were moved to alternate universes
temporarily."

[12:47] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Zandris still has yet to share his experience with me."

[12:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He gave Serris an irritated look.*

[12:47] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I tell you everything." *He stated matter-of-factly.*

[12:49] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Whatever, Serris..."

[12:49] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali wraps the remaining egg in a napkin, pilfers the toast and nibbles on it absently.*

[12:49] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "If you want training, let me know, hell you can come train with the badgers"

[12:49] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "What time do you all usually meet?"

[12:51] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Not gonna invite someone to a training and not train them, that is just stupid" *looks at
Serris* "still working that out, finding what works best, I will send you a message, just don't take my job"

[12:53] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Trust me, I'm way too interested in tinkering with warp fields and gravitons to even
consider it."

[12:53] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Although, I did have an idea about augmenting your existing armor for variable gravity
conditions like my homeworld."

[12:55] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Ohh I want to hear about that sometime, better toys that help us survive, always on top of my
wishlist"

[12:56] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'll see what I can do."

[12:56] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "YOu good at that kinda personal equipment stuff?"

[12:57] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The answer to that is unnecessarily complicated, so I'll just go with, sort of."

[12:58] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "I don't mind the short simple answer, details can come later"

[12:58] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He frowned slightly, still picking at his salad.*

[12:59] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *finishes her food* "Gonna head down to the unit, see ya both around"

[12:59] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *gets to her feet*

[12:59] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Welcome aboard."

[12:59] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Yeah, good to meet you."

[1:00] [DOIC5] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Thanks, likewise" *she takes her leave nodding at the doctor on the way* "Hey doc"

[1:00] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Oh, hello."

[1:01] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she pulls up the tray, gathering up everything from her table.  Takes a last sip of tea and carries
all but the orange fizzy and napkin bundle to the recycler.*

[1:02] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You, uh, haven't finished your salad."

[1:03] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You know me, I'm a light eater."  *he smirked.*  "I think I'm done anyway."

[1:03] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She takes the glass of fizzy, and the napkin bundle, and leaves via the back door toward her
quarters.*

[1:05] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, in that case..."

[1:05] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris takes both of the trays and sets them in the recycler.*

[1:05] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he grinned.*

[1:06] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Come on... I think I promised to help you destroy your old furniture?"

[1:06] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Since we're getting aggression out, think you'll finally have it in you to tell me what
happened in that pocket of nonsense?"

[1:09] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He frowned then, looking down.*  "In the reality I went to, you were dead.  So was
almost everyone else.  I don't know why or how it happened, and honestly I'm just trying to forget it.  Okay?

[1:11] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, I'll just have to remind you that I'm very much alive then."

[1:11] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he raised a brow, looking back up at him.*

[1:11] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Come on, we have a mattress to break."

[1:11] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *That big, stupid grin appeared again.*  "I thought you would never ask."
