Protector 1/12

[9:04] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...*

[9:05] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector is at high warp, heading towards the Citadel after negotiating a temporary ceasefire on Xoa. The camera zooms in on Tibs as he begins his log...*

[9:05] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius clears his throat as he begins his log.* Captain's Log, Stardate 95059.55. We are on our way back to the Citadel. Thus far, it has been an uneventful journey. The Diplomatic Corps have >

[9:05] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: dispatched Ambassador Jiro to handle the situation on Xos. Hopefully, the people of Xos can finally find peace. Asada out.

[9:07] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran looked through the latest security reports at her activity table.*

[9:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: It's agreeable to have a quiet journey.

[9:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Beeps buttons*

[9:09] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Always seems to be feast or famine here in Starfleet," *she shrugged.*

[9:10] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *In engineering, things are fairly quiet, with Ensign Ristovski notably absent.*

[9:10] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *In sickbay, Magreilr has crawled underneath a biobed, appearing to be adjusting something.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] After the end to our year...quiet is what the doctor ordered.

[9:11] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I can't believe 2421 went by so quickly.

[9:11] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Well, enjoy it while it lasts Baker."

[9:11] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Mag, shouldn't we let Engineering fix that?

[9:12] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian seems to be noticeably upbeat as he continued working away on his console*

[9:12] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances at Daniels* Any word from Wuzowski?

[9:13] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] He reported in ill.

[9:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I am?

[9:14] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilir] I have rudimentry engineering training, Doctor.

[9:14] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he turns around* Well he better not be spreading that around like it were the flu.

[9:15] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Your description did not inspire confidence. Try not to electrocute yourself okay?

[9:15] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *frowns slight* I see.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "...Right.  We got an ETA for the Citadel by any chance?"

[9:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] 45 minutes, ma'am.

[9:17] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I think we're all looking forward to those citadel biscuits.

[9:17] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Naturally, if he did not show up to shift, it would be to avoid spreading it?

[9:17] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Wasn't aware the Citadel had their own biscuits already."

[9:18] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Sorry, it's an Earth expression. It doesn't mean food, necessarily. It could refer to anything you consider valuable or a benefit.

[9:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] I apppreciate your concern, Doctor, but I do not believe it to be warranted.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Oh.  Well, all things considered I hope our stay isn't too long.  Prefer to be out in the action than getting fat off... biscuits."  *She smirked slightly.*

[9:20] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Okay then...

[9:20] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Who said anything about getting fat?

[9:20] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he shrugs* Never know what he's doing, just saying.

[9:21] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances over at Damian* Are you suggesting the ensign might be doing something illegal or dangerous?

[9:22] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "It's an expression, Ensign," *she shot him a grin.*  "Even the dumb security chief can weave a metaphor once in a while."

[9:22] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he shrugs again* I dunno, some people view a sick day as a day off to do whatever you want.

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Impressive.

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal smirks.*

[9:23] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Perhaps a trip to a secluded corridor to write on the walls?

[9:24] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay puts a hand over her mouth and giggles.*

[9:24] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] Doctor! How are you? *Ally says in her usual hyper friendly tone.*

[9:24] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Yeah yeah.. *he shuts up and stares at his console*

[9:24] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: I'm good Ally, just going through our records.

[9:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] It was a joke, Snow...

[9:26] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: How are you?

[9:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *presses more buttons and keep an eye on the ships surroundings*

[9:27] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *taps his side console, avoiding the 'Omega 13' button because he doesn't know what that does*

[9:27] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "I can do lots of other tricks, too," *she shrugged and glanced back at her activity table.*

[9:27] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oh you guys got me alright.. *he said over his shoulder*

[9:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eryvis] I do not understand.

[9:28] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks at Kobay and shrugs*

[9:29] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eryvis] You have always encouraged me to 'lighten up'...and yet a joke is made and you do not laugh?

[9:31] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Across the ship, the lights briefly flicker.*

[9:31] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran glanced up from her table.*  "Someone spill their beer in engineering?"

[9:31] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] I'm goo-*She cuts herself off, looking up.*

[9:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Asada to Engineering. Is something the matter?

[9:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( blah brb one sec

[9:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Science, Anythign on scanners?

[9:33] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Kara, check on the power systems for me.

[9:33] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay looks over to Nalie.*

[9:33] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: =^= Nothing obvious, but we're looking into it.

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Only thing on short range sensors is an asteroid.

[9:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] On it.

[9:34] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he went to answer the andorian but was soon busy assisting Kara locate the issue*

[9:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Any explanation for the lgiht flickering? Grax? Baker?

[9:36] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No...

[9:36] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *turns to the wall panel and pulls up the EPS grid overlay to check the power distribution*

[9:36] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] I'm at a loss.

[9:36] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: It was some sort of power drain, I can't identify from where. *he turns to look over at Nalie*

[9:37] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran tipped her head to the side.*  "Well the lights don't just flicker on a damn Federation starship."

[9:37] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Indeed, Please do find me an explanation"

[9:38] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Obihr, run a diagnostic on the core, make sure it's not a software issue.

[9:38] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eryvis] Beginning a level two diagnostic.

[9:39] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *pulls up the internal sensor logs and goes back to just before the lights flickered, looking for anything unusual*

[9:40] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Daniels, double check the external sensor logs for polaron radiation.

[9:40] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The ship suddenly drops out of warp, the lights on the ship going completely dark.*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( Back

[9:41] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What in the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks is going on?

[9:41] [DOIC1] Nallie@Cuatela: =^= Engin---

[9:41] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] What in the blazes?

[9:41] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Kara?

[9:42] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *reaches up to trigger her suit's light*

[9:42] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I don't understand! There was a spike in polaron particles and then...everything went down.

[9:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Everything's dead...

[9:42] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Yeah, that's what I saw on the interal logs too.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Prophets..." *She muttered, trying to activate her combadge.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Bring out handphasers"

[9:43] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius arms himself.*

[9:43] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm going to take a walk down to Engineering. Hold down the fort, Lieutenant Clerie.

[9:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Gets a phaser and attaches it to her uniform* "Yes sir"

[9:43] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Scared of the dark, Lieutenant?" *Aloran muttered as she whipped her phaser out of the little compartment in her table.*  "I'll go with you, Captain."

[9:44] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Everyone, break out your lights.  Damian, Kara, get down to the cargo bay and bring back a couple portable power cells.

[9:44] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: And arm yourselves just in case.

[9:44] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ah, company could never hurt. Let's go.

[9:44] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( does the door open?

[9:44] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Yes ma'am.

[9:44] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Everyone else, start working on getting our systems back up.  Assume we're under some sort of dampening field, and work from there.

[9:44] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Well if this is a prelude to a boarding, better safe than sorry."

[9:45] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Bu- *he takes a deep breath and turns to head out of engineering once he fumbles aorund for his flashlight out of his kit*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Fear of the dark comes to a whole new level in the LMC. Untill we know what is wrong caution seems prudent"

[9:45] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [No, doors are not working but can be moved.]

[9:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius opens the manual release for the door and gives it several solid pumps, opening the door.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Science, grab a tricorder, see if you can make out anything to give us an idea"

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Yes ma'am.

[9:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Extends her telepathic senses trying to feel for something outside in teh vast darkness*

[9:46] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] What? Afraid of the dark suddenly?

[9:46] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *pulls out her tricorder and starts running scans to see if she can pinpoint the source of the dampening*

[9:46] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Let's roll.

[9:47] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran stepped out into the darkened hallway, hand near her phaser.*

[9:47] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( blah brb

[9:48] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *He gives her a look in the dark* No.. not at all.. there ain't no monsters here. *he heads down slowly over to a weapons locker and grabs them both a phaser so they could be safe*

[9:49] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Just Ensign Rickys.

[9:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] DAmmit.

[9:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes?"

[9:50] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Looks like the polaron radiation is mostly exterior. If we can rig a portable shield around Engineering, we might be able to jump-start the systems enough to get our shields and engines back online.

[9:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] I can't make heads or tails of this thing.

[9:50] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Ensign Ricky was real, he's back home with his doggo on earth now. *he arrives at the cargobay doors and begins to pry them open*

[9:51] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Isn't that Dominion tech?

[9:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Please elaborate?"

[9:51] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: They use polarons, but they're not the only ones who do.

[9:51] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Good for him. *She tries to help, mostly not helpful.*

[9:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] It's fried, the tricorder I mean.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Take another one then"

[9:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I've heard they've gone through shields before...but nothing like this.

[9:53] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( sorry back

[9:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal does so.*

[9:53] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I've never seen polarons used in a dampening field before, either

[9:54] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius opens the hatch to the jefferies tube and climbs in.*

[9:54] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *with a grunt and some good old fashioned muscle, they (him) get it open* Come on, let's just get the portable cells and head back so we could get to the bottom of this.

[9:54] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran glanced sideways at the hatch, but climbed in after Tiberius.*  "Dark and spooky tunnel, nothing could go wrong, right?"

[9:55] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I've spent a lot of time in these things and I'm fairly sure I've never had anything upsetting happen inside of them.

[9:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Alright...all I'm seeing is an excessive amount of polaron particles.

[9:55] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She squinted.*  "Fairly?"

[9:56] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I can't remember everything that's ever happened to me.

[9:56] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] They were just joking in there, you know? Nalie finds it amusing.

[9:56] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And...?" *Looks hopeful at Grax*

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] That's it...the source appears to be external to the ship.

[9:57] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "You'd think it would be memorable if it did," *she shrugged as they descended toward Engineering.*

[9:57] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I've died two times.

[9:58] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Look pretty good for a twice dead man."

[9:58] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius squeezes the manual release for the jefferies tube hatch on the Engineering deck.* Thank you.

[9:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eryvis] I wasn't really able to get anything of use from the diagnostic.

[9:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "How big?"

[9:59] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] I couldn't tell you...there's like a trail that leads external but my tricorder can't parse that far.

[10:00] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *he sighs* Seriously? It was a good one, can't I just admit it by shutting up? *he opens up the crate that held the portable cells*

[10:00] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *side-eyes Obihr* What's wrong, can't run a diagnostic while the computer is offline?

[10:00] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Let's just hope 'third time's the charm' doesn't apply here."  *She waited for him to go first.*

[10:00] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tibs walks into Engineering*

[10:00] [DOIC2] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran came in right after him.*

[10:01] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You could learn to laugh at yourself every once in a while. *She pulls out a cell.*

[10:01] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: So... what's going on?

[10:01] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *turns to face the captain, her suit's light shining across his face as she does*  Power's out.

[10:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And... Are these polerons able to cause this catastrophic shipwide failure?"

[10:01] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh really?

[10:02] [DOIC2] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Good to know."

[10:02] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Yeah yeah, big dumb damian, gotta laugh. *he pulls out a couple more and makes for the doors*

[10:02] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: From what we've gathered so far, there's a dampening field being generated that uses polarons to disrupt our systems.

[10:02] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] She forgave you...in case you didn't notice when she set up a pleasure cruise for ya'll.

[10:03] [DOIC2] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Said that all they were detecting was an asteroid, could there be something set up there that's generating the field maybe?"

[10:03] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I've got people bringing portable power cells to see if we can jump-start the system.  If we can't get shields, my next plan was to try activating the cloak.

[10:03] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] In theory...possibly? It's the best explanation I have.

[10:04] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Could be something there, yeah. We didn't have much time to trace it down before everything went offline.

[10:04] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Can you launch a distress beacon?

[10:05] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: We can't launch anything right now.  Even emergency power is down, and all we have working are portable devices.

[10:05] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The beacons are not self-propelled?

[10:05] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: The beacons aren't the problem, the launcher is.

[10:05] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I can't open the doors, I can't program the beacon, and I can't release it.

[10:06] [DOIC2] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran frowned.*  "Could we get a shuttlecraft running maybe?  Wouldn't even have to launch it out the ship, we could have it transmit a signal from inside."

[10:06] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hm. What's the status of life support remaining?

[10:06] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *A cell begins to slip from his arms once he heard that* Uh.. what pleasure cruise? WE went for a quick maintenance visit. *he resecures the cells again and walks off without another word*

[10:06] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: we can't even open an exterior hatch without risking full decompression.

[10:06] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Right. The Shuttle should have some power.

[10:06] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: It's possible, but I imagine that they're being affected just like the ship.  Wouldn't hurt to try though.

[10:07] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Damian I'm not stupid, nor am I angry

[10:07] [DOIC2] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Might be easier to get up and running.  I think.  I'm not an Engineer, but it sounds like it would be."

[10:07] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian reenters engineering, glancing around at the new faces lit up in the dark*

[10:08] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Chief I got the cells. *he begins to set them up near her so they could get th work*

[10:08] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Alright, Aloran. Let's go check out the shuttle.

[10:09] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances at Damian* Good.  Hook up one to the shield grid.  I'll take the other one.  Kara, go with the Captain and help him with the shuttles.

[10:09] [DOIC2] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Aye, Captain," *Aloran nodded and headed for the shuttlebay.*

[10:09] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *takes one of the power cells over to the cloaking device's compartment*

[10:09] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Yes ma'am.

[10:10] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Tiberius confidently heads toward the shuttle bay.

[10:10] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian works on tying his power cell into the shield grid so they could be safe*

[10:10] [DOIC2] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( wat channel should be shuttle bae

[10:11] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara follows Tibs towards the shuttle bay.*

[10:12] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius looks at the shuttle* Alright, let's see if this has power.

[10:12] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran walked over to the shuttle as well, giving Kara room to work.*

[10:13] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara hops in and attempts the start up procedure.*

[10:14] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *works on hooking up her power cell to the cloaking device*

[10:14] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Rubs the shuttle's nacelle reassuringly.*

[10:14] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( Can I roll for that

[10:15] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Daniels, get ready on the core restart. The second you get any amount of power, I want you to raise shields, engage our engines, anything you can do to get us out from under this dampening field.

[10:15] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran eyeballed Tibs as he touched the shuttle in the dark and then looked back at Kara.*  "Anything?"

[10:15] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Understood.

[10:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The shuttle's consoles and lights come to life.*

[10:16] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Mmm. My baby.

[10:16] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Thank the Prophets.  Can we send a distress signal to the Citadel?"

[10:17] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Damian, as soon as you're hooked up, use your tricorder to manually engage the shields around Engineering. Don't worry about the rest of the ship for now.

[10:18] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he reaches over into his open kit and fishes out his tricorder* Almost.. hooked up. should have a shield up soon for us.

[10:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Should be able to...I'll have to reroute power to the long range communications array.

[10:19] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran nodded.*  "Do it... if someone's shut us down, I don't want us being caught by ourselves when they show up to check their trap."

[10:20] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [roills and PM results please]

[10:20] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *There was a short pause and she glanced back at the shuttle fondler.*  "Assuming you approve anyway, Captain."

[10:20] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Go ahead.

[10:20] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She nodded at Kara.*

[10:20] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Awesome.  *finishes up on her end and starts configuring her tricorder to control the cloak*

[10:20] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That was the intention of coming down here.

[10:20] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Well yeah, but you're still the guy in charge here."

[10:21] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *looks around shiftily* Yes, that's right.

[10:21] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Anyway, make it so.

[10:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] In case he forgot...*She chuckles as she begins diverting power from all the other subsystems.*

[10:23] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius looka around suspiciously.* Report when that task has been completed.

[10:23] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran glanced back at Tibs.*  "Something the matter, Captain?"

[10:23] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Thanks to Damian and Nalie's work, along with the power cells, there is now an independant source of power flowing into the Protector.*

[10:23] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Apparently so, otherwise we woudln't be down here.

[10:24] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She gave him a flat look.*  "I mean besides the obvious.  You're not scared of the dark too, are you?"

[10:25] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: No. I was born in it, molded by it.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Her brows rose.*  "...Right."  *She looked back at Kara.*

[10:26] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Damian, you got that shield up yet?

[10:27] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he looks over his tricoder readings* Uh.. yep.. they're up.

[10:27] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Daniels, anything on your end?

[10:28] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Distress signal is go.

[10:28] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oooh, but they're at 50% and falling.. *he begins furiously tapping away to determine if he can fix that*

[10:28] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Kobay?

[10:29] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Good work," *Aloran nodded.*  "We're not far out from the Citadel, they said forty-five minutes well before the power went out."

[10:29] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *turns to shine her light and look in Kobay's direction* Where's our power?

[10:29] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Hopefully that means we won't be sitting here for long."

[10:29] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: There should be plenty of ships within range to render assistance.

[10:30] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Mhm.  You told them to be mindful of the field in the distress call, right?"

[10:30] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I'm working on it...whatever this is seems to be pentrating the shields!~

[10:31] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Okay, on to plan B then. Damian, let me know when those shields are about to drop.

[10:31] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *sets her tricorder to activate the cloak on her signal*

[10:31] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he nods from his position* Alright you got it.

[10:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Of course...but I'm not getting any response.

[10:33] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She frowned.*  "Could the field also be blocking comms somehow?"

[10:33] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The Citadel should have eyes on us anyway. They will think it's unusual that we've come to a full stop and dropped off of ACCI.

[10:34] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Whether our signal transmits or not, there's a high likelihood that someone is already en route.

[10:35] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Likely or not, I'd prefer to make it a certainty.  Feels like we've got our asses bare and propped up in the air for anyone to---"  *She cut herself off.*  "I don't like being this vulnerable is all.

[10:35] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "

[10:35] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: 10% now. *he called out*

[10:35] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I agree with you.

[10:35] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Alright, take them down!

[10:36] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Anything you could do to maybe boost the signal?  Or are you already using too much of the shuttle's power?" *she asked Kara.*

[10:36] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *triggers the cloak's activation routine*

[10:36] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he complies and takes them down himself*

[10:36] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are we certain as to what is causing the power drain?

[10:37] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Nalie seemed sure it was the field, but there can't be much we can do to confirm it with out instruments down.  Unless we wanna go around with tricorders scanning the whole ship."

[10:38] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *our ))

[10:38] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector quietly fades from view.*

[10:38] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Okay, Kobay, see what you have now?

[10:38] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he looks over at Nalie* Please tell me that worked.

[10:38] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] No more polaron particles!

[10:40] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Can you bring the core back online?  We've only got about thirty seconds before the cloak drops.

[10:40] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Working...

[10:40] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Crap! I'm losing it...

[10:41] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he stands up and heads over to assist Kobay* I'm coming to help chillax.

[10:41] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We might just have to.

[10:42] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *runs over to the back wall to try to kick-start the impulse reactors*

[10:42] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *after glancing over the readout to get an idea of what to do, he tries rerouting the power from his own powercell and pumps it into the warpcore to jumpstart it*

[10:42] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] That did it!

[10:43] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Lights begin popping back up all over the ship.*

[10:43] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Well look at that.

[10:43] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *runs back to the cloak* Okay, I'm switching back to ship systems.

[10:44] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "About time," *Aloran murmured as she glanced up and then tapped her combadge.*

[10:44] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *switches from the power cell to the main power hookups*

[10:44] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "Aloran to bridge, we good to get the hell out of here?"

[10:45] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Time to head back to the bridge. Good work Dalby. Power down the shuttle and head back to main engineering.

[10:45] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He gives Kobay a quick pat on the shoulder before he returns to sliding his powercell and cords off to the side*

[10:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Thanks Snow.

[10:46] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Nalie succeeds as main power is slowly restored.*

[10:47] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: No problemo Daniels. *he grins at Nalie* Atta girl, that's what I'm talking about.

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks over to Desiree, then back to her console.* =^= Bridge here...power is coming back...we're going to attempt to impulse back to the station.

[10:48] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *disconnects the power cell entirely once the cloak is back on main power* Kobay, launch a signal bouy to warn people about whatever that was.

[10:48] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] On it.

[10:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You... have command of the bridge, Baker" *Very absentminded makes her way of the bridge*

[10:48] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran started for the door to head to the lift.*  "Better get you back to your chair then."

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] The source of those polraons...it was the asteroid!

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods and takes command.*

[10:49] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: =^= Engineering to Bridge, you should have full power back, but we should stay under cloak until we've cleared that field.

[10:49] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "Aloran to all security teams, report," *she ordered as she stepped into the lift, holding it open for Tibs.*

[10:49] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib heads up to the bridge.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib strolls onto the bridge.* Status report.

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Power has been restored...we are under cloak, and attempting to move away at impulse.

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] =^= Understood.

[10:50] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran glanced at Des as they passed in the hall, nodding once and continuing after Tibs to the bridge.*

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...I believe Lieutenant Clerie is having...an experience of some kind.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I see.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius reaches out to Desiree psychically*

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] We are moving away from the field...it is not following.

[10:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Buoy is away.

[10:54] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Alright.  Let's keep an eye on the systems for now.

[10:54] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Steer clear unless you have a badass engineering staff..

[10:55] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran frowned slightly and hit her badge again.* =/\= "Aloran to security teams, I said report.  We just almost got trapped in some field, now's not the time to pretend you didn't hear me."

[10:56] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Naeidra ] =^= Reporting...teams are in position...high value targets secure.

[10:57] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "That's what I like to hear.  Keep it up until we hit the Citadel, just in case."

[10:58] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmmm. I see.

[10:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] The particles have dissipated off our hull.

[10:58] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Nobody interfere with Desiree as she works.

[10:58] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Glad to hear it.

[10:59] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She looked at Tibs with that.*  "Wasn't planning on it.  Any particular reason?"

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes sir...perhaps we should assign a security detail to ensure that?

[10:59] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Make it so.

[10:59] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Damian, make a note for Gamma shift to return these power cells to the cargo bay.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She raised her brows higher, then shrugged.*  =/\= "Aloran to Gadsen.  Make sure no one disturbs Lieutenant Clerie.  And make sure you don't disturb her making sure no one disturbs her.  Captain's...

[11:00] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: orders."

[11:00] [DOIC6] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Gadsen] =^= Ummm...yes ma'am?

[11:01] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he leaves a note for the graveyard shift* Yeah and done. Easy Peasy.

[11:01] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "Good."  *She tapped it off and looked back at the others.*  "Done."

[11:05] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Reciving from the Citadel...they are asking if we are able to warp the rest of the way home.

[11:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are we, Baker?

[11:05] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Good work team.

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] As far as I can tell sir...but I was wondering...

[11:06] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Is there an asteroid out there?

[11:07] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "They detected one not long before we lost power."

[11:07] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Aha.

[11:07] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We need to tow it to the Citadel.

[11:07] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "...Tow an asteroid that could've possibly been the source of knocking out our ship?"  *she squinted.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I am not sure that is advisable, sir.

[11:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Why might that be, Baker?

[11:08] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "We could knock out every ship stationed at the Citadel, potentially."

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We know nothing about it other than its capability to do just that, sir.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: It's a life form. This is a first contact scenario that started out somewhat awkwardly.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Can you get Citadel Operations on the line, Baker?

[11:09] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "...With all due respect, Captain, what the hell are you smoking?"

[11:09] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Hey Nalie? *he turns around*

[11:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] A...life form?

[11:10] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Yes, Mister Snow?

[11:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Nothing, Ensign. It's baked into brownies these days.

[11:10] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: You got me good earlier.

[11:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Correct.

[11:10] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Lieutenant," *she corrected.*

[11:10] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I thought so.

[11:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( oops he would have gotten that right lol

[11:10] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: Void the correction then :D ))

[11:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] With respect sir, if it a lifeform...it would be able to travel on its own?

[11:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I don't believe that it can. I will check.

[11:12] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay giggles, while Kara smirks.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran scowled.*  "Look, life form or not, it took our ship offline and it could do the same thing to the ships at the Citadel.  I for one am not willing to take that risk.  Not a damn chance."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmm. Hold on a moment while I figure this out.

[11:12] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "...Are you talking to the damn thing telepathically or something?"

[11:13] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he rolls his eyes* I may have gotten a tad bit hurt. But I forgive you.

[11:14] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I'm just surprised you didn't come back and ask me when I was going to take over the ship again.

[11:15] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Why would I ask you that?

[11:15] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran covered her face with her hand.*  "Yev ey..."

[11:15] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] No idea. *She whistles.*

[11:16] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *shrugs* nevermind.

[11:17] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he chuckles* I was trying hard not to cry.

[11:17] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Yeah right.

[11:18] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oh here we go.. she's yeah righting me.

[11:18] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Sure she is.

[11:19] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You didn't even cry when you hit me with a baseball bat.

[11:20] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: *Opens up the incomming Tibs line and tries to merge it with the most mysterious connection*

[11:20] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: He hit you with a baseball bat?

[11:21] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he looks over at her* That's because I was too busy explaining to that german doctor how badly you got hit.

[11:22] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Right...what was his name...

[11:22] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *She looks to Nalie.* Yes, he did.

[11:22] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: *Drags Tibs mental projection in to the completely white room, She is being represended as herself, Tibs being fantesises as himself as well. She gestures to the third man in the room*

[11:23] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran flared her nostrils and ground her teeth, trying to resist the urge to punch Tiberius in the back of the head.*

[11:23] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hello.

[11:23] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Why did you hit her with a baseball bat?

[11:23] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Tibs sees an alien humanoid he would identify as a Devalei if he is up to date on his LMC alien database.*

[11:23] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he shrugs* I have no idea.. I don't remember. And it was an accident.

[11:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius leans forward with his eyes closed*

[11:23] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The alien nods.*

[11:23] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "Kalor, tis is Tiberius Asada, The captain of the Protector. Captain, This is Kalor"

[11:23] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm Lieutenant Commander Tiberius Asada of the Federation Starship Protector. How may we be of assistance?

[11:24] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Alien] Kalor...it is its name?

[11:24] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Tell me, are you confused?

[11:24] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "You did introduce yourself as Kalor, Or did I misudnerstand you? and sir, He has not asked for anything"

[11:25] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: It was a date.. that went entirely wrong.

[11:25] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Alien] Kalor...as its name. Kalor would have liked that...he was kind to it.

[11:25] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What is... it?

[11:25] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: You two are dating now?

[11:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You didn't notice before?

[11:26] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he furrows his brow* Really? You didn't notice?

[11:26] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: *Gestures to the alien* "They referes to himself in third person object, Sir"

[11:26] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It is Kalor.'

[11:26] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ahh.

[11:26] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *shrugs* I don't have much experience with voluntary romantic relationships.

[11:26] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Well then.

[11:27] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Is there any way we can help you?

[11:28] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he blinks* I mean the flirting made it hella obvious.

[11:29] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It does not need help?

[11:29] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm glad to hear that!

[11:29] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara winces at her explanation.*

[11:29] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are you familiar with the concept of starships?

[11:29] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay averts her eyes, placing a hand on Nalie's shoulder.*

[11:30] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It is able to travel where it pleases.

[11:30] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "He is far more advanced then we are on an intelectulal level, Sir. Two million years he was part of the allieance"

[11:30] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ah, I think it's travel method may have interferred with our starship's systems.

[11:30] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: It's not a big deal.  I'm usually too busy to waste time on social interactions outside work.

[11:31] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I try...

[11:31] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he bites his inner cheek before opening his mouth* Well.. you're missing out.

[11:32] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay shoots Nalie a look.*

[11:32] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Does it know why that might be the case?

[11:33] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: If you say so.

[11:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It is a weapon.

[11:34] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It is a weapon.

[11:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay whispers something in Nalie's ear.*

[11:34] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Why was it employed against us?

[11:35] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It did not know if you were friend or foe.

[11:35] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We are friends. Our society is built upon principles of non-aggression.

[11:35] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "I would very much like to be your friend, Kalor"

[11:35] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It will consider it.

[11:36] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Would you be agreeable to continued discussions with one of our representatives? We can send someone to talk with you.

[11:36] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran drummed her fingers on the table, staring at the captain's chair as though she were trying to activate her heat vision.*

[11:36] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] You are...represen-tative?

[11:36] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I am. And there are others.

[11:36] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It would consider it.

[11:37] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "Kalor, Do you know how the Dark would react if they knew you where out here?"

[11:37] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *Nalie stifles a giggle*

[11:37] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Thank you. Do you also think you could refrain from using that energy drain on our vessels? We will make sure to steer clear of you.

[11:37] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] How does it know?

[11:37] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *to Tibs*

[11:38] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Do you sense any deception in what I'm saying?

[11:38] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] No...how does it know to refrain?

[11:38] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius is still leaning forward with eyes shut as he has been doing for the last 15 minutes.*

[11:38] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I will tell them all.

[11:39] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She glanced at the others on the bridge in that awkward silence.*

[11:39] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The man rubs his face, showing a bit of frustration.* No...how does /it/ know to refrain?

[11:39] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Ahhh.

[11:39] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Let me show you.

[11:39] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius sends him mental pictures of every Starfleet ship class.*

[11:39] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay joins Nalie in giggling.*

[11:40] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he eyes them both for a second before he focuses back on his console and the engineering reviews*

[11:40] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] Ah...it sees...it will not engage.

[11:40] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] Ah...it sees...it will not engage.

[11:40] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The man turns back to Desiree.* It does not know.

[11:40] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "We also have allies, Many of them. Some you recognize, Like the Yanda"

[11:41] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Maybe she is missing out. *She covers her mouth.*

[11:41] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] NO!

[11:41] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Uhhh.

[11:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...the asteroid is...changing course!

[11:42] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Please remember that we do not mean it any harm.

[11:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] On an intercept course...

[11:42] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "We will not tell them, Kalor. I understand you are scared of them"

[11:42] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *glares at Kobay*

[11:42] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius opens up his mind to Kalor on the subject of the Federation*

[11:42] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I dunno, she's your friend.. maybe you should try harder and get that message across.

[11:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib is still zonked out.*

[11:43] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] If they come after the weapon...they will fail.

[11:43] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "I knew this wasn't going to end well.  Captain?"

[11:43] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We will not permit that.

[11:43] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay gives her an innocent smile.* I've tried.

[11:43] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he turns around* Have you tried the Spacr route?

[11:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] It has come to a stop.

[11:44] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It is either you...or it.

[11:44] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "Kalor, We respect your view of not killing. It is okey dear"

[11:44] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The man nods to Desiree.*

[11:44] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I will give you my personal assurance that harm will not come to you.

[11:44] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *looks down at her console* I want a new roommate.

[11:44] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib says nothing.*

[11:44] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It thanks you...Tiberius.

[11:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] What? No! She hasn't tried that trashy app.

[11:45] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Captain!" *she repeated, staring at Tiberius for another moment before she looked at helm.*  "Get us the hell out of here!  Grax, can you see if this thing's got the captain in some sort of mind...

[11:45] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: trap?"

[11:45] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: It's our goal to bring peace to this galaxy.

[11:45] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: YOu should try Spacr Nalie, got a great matchmaking matrix. And.. uh.. ouch Daniels.

[11:46] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "And we do not force those of a pacifistic view to go agaisnt their beliefs"

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] You want me to invade his mind?

[11:46] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The man nods.*

[11:46] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "No, just... what do you sense from him right now?"

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] It appears to be remaining stationary.

[11:47] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay rolls her eyes.* That would be a disaster. Nalie needs someone she's gotten to know first.

[11:47] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "Your help, udnerstanding and knowledge would be invalueble in helpign stop the Darks rampage torugh the galaxy however, Like I told you before"

[11:47] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The Dark is clearly a problem that threatens us all. We have fought them extensively.

[11:48] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It has shown you the way.

[11:48] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he shrugs* Well yeah.. that would be the preferable route. But it hasn't worked out yet hmm?

[11:48] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "The Poleron cloud, How does it work exactly?"

[11:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] He doesn't appear to be in any distress.

[11:49] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: Standing right here...

[11:49] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] Desiree...it has shown you what you need.

[11:49] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Yes Nalie we know, we're trying to get you a date here. SInce Spacr is out of the equation..

[11:49] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran groaned.*  "Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this picture?  Our ship gets knocked out, then the captain tells us the asteroid is a life form and then suddenly blanks out for a..

[11:50] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "I wish I was wiser to really understand your gift, Kalor"

[11:50] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: suspiciously long time, then the asteroid starts coming toward us again?  This is so obviously, SCREAMINGLY a trap that I can't believe I'm the only one saying it!"

[11:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] He appears to be communicating with something.

[11:50] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It cannot give you that programming.

[11:51] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "And if that 'something' is trying to keep him busy and distracted while it works on how to knock us out again?" *she frowned.*

[11:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] With respect, Lieutenant...there is evidence if it wanted to, it could.

[11:52] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Maybe that dude from tactical.. I hear he's a hunk..

[11:53] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: Maybe you should focus on doing your job and maintaining your own relationships

[11:53] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Have we reached an agreement, then? We will ensure that you are undisturbed, while you will not disturb our vessels. and we will send someone to continue a dialogue.

[11:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Ouch.

[11:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Absentmindedly walks on to the bridge* "Grax, Do we have a scan of the poleron could" *Speaks as she is really somwhere else*

[11:53] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It is agreed.

[11:53] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Be that as it may, this whole thing reeks."  *She shook her head, glancing back at Desiree.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] I do, ma'am.

[11:54] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he bites down on his lip* Ouch indeed.. quite trying to change the subject, we're only here to help you Nalie..

[11:54] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Fantastic! I'm going to disconnect now and inform my people. Thank you for your cooperation.

[11:55] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We should probably be going, Lieutenant.

[11:55] [DOIC5] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes Sir, It has been a priveledge to talk to you, Kalor. I do hope we meet again"

[11:55] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Kalor] It thanks you, Desiree.

[11:56] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Until next time.

[11:56] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib bows and hits the Disconnect button.*

[11:56] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kalor releases both of them.*

[11:56] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib looks up*

[11:56] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Good morning.

[11:56] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Sir...the asteroid...is no longer an asteroid.

[11:56] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What is it now?

[11:56] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *turns to look at Damian* Do I need to remind you that you are on duty, and that you have already faced disciplinary action within the last month?

[11:57] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] A ship of some kind, sir.

[11:57] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Baker, please inform Citadel Operations that I've struck a deal with the entity in that unidentified vessel.

[11:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Sir, I advice against that, Sir"

[11:57] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes sir.

[11:57] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks over at Desiree.*

[11:57] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: He will not bother us with that field as long as we maintain non-aggression with him. He's also agreeable to continued conversation with a diplomat.

[11:57] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Why, Lieutenant?

[11:58] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran crossed her arms and looked thoroughly annoyed.  Then again, that was her default expression while on the bridge.*  "At least we're not towing anything back to the Citadel."

[11:58] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "There are species in the LMC that are now our allies that has history with it, It is for the best if they remain oblivious to its continued existance. atleast in detail"

[11:58] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Alright alright. *he shuts up and returns back to his engineering reviews*

[11:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay turns away with a slight smile.*

[11:58] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We can work around that. Baker, inform Citadel Operations that this should be considered classified.

[11:59] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] It was a good effort.

[11:59] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: At least, until the nuances can be sorted out.

[11:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Atleast.. for now, Hopefully the diplomats can settle the milennia old wound and... friendship can be found there to"

[11:59] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Understood...I will be utilzing a Starfleet frequency, sir, just in case.

[12:00] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Just trying to help a fellow engineer out.. *he mumbled*

[12:01] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Good idea. Let's keep this hush hush.

[12:01] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: ETA to the Citadel?

[12:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] I am ready to resume warp sir...twenty minutes.

[12:02] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Punch it.

[12:02] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector jumps to warp once again as the credits roll into a social...*

[12:02] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Baker, call up Beta shift.

[12:02] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm getting a burger.

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Aye sir.

[12:02] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius heads off the bridge.

[12:04] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran put her phaser away in its slot with a growl, taking off from her table as soon as her relief arrived and charging off down the hall.*

[12:04] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baler] =^= Beta watch...please report to your stations.

[12:04] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *secures her phaser*

[12:05] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib walks up to the replicator* Give me that rodeo burger, Computer.

[12:05] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: What was that, Mr. Snow?

[12:05] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The replicator produces what Tibs requested.*

[12:05] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh yeah. Come to papa.

[12:06] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *As soon as Aloran hit the brig she jerked a thumb at Blot.*  "You know the drill, kid."

[12:06] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Nothing chief.. I said nothing. Just.. asking Kara if she wanted a bite.

[12:06] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *goes back to her console*

[12:06] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Blot] Y-yes m-m-ma'am.

[12:07] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] A what?

[12:07] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: A bite to eat. Duh.

[12:07] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Oh, quit stuttering, I'm not going to bite you," *she sighed as she went to take the chair.*

[12:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker?"

[12:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Ohhhh. Sure.

[12:08] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Blot darts out.*

[12:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes?

[12:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "comming?"

[12:09] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Anyways.. Uh.. I left Gamma the note chief.. uhm.. *he glances at Kara* Let's go.

[12:09] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She settled down in the chair and leaned back, covering her face with her hands and letting out a long, cathartic groan.*

[12:09] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara nods and follows Damian.*

[12:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] How was it?

[12:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It was... sad"

[12:10] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The mess hall slowly begins to fill up as the watches change.*

[12:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sad?

[12:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I got to see something from the old war"

[12:11] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Oh...what war?

[12:11] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( okay dudes time fo rme to sleep... night all

[12:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The dark against the rest"

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Oh.

[12:13] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he clears his throat lightly* Soo.. what you wanna eat?

[12:13] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You don't remember?

[12:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Love, You are aware of how Betazoids tend to very often be councilors or diplomats in the federation?"

[12:14] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Really? Still Hasperat?

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes...it was a joke used often at the Academy.

[12:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Indeed, I had really hoped to take path far away from it... and how many mental first contacts has I been involved in the last year? Five? six?"

[12:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Duh.

[12:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Is that not part of being a Starfleet officer?

[12:16] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Have you done six first contacts, love?"

[12:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I am not in command?

[12:17] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "nither was I when I met Alex, Or Custos"

[12:17] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he brings up some Hasperat from the replicator and walks over to an empty table* So..

[12:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No...but you are the first officer...and a Betazoid...in a brand new galaxy...

[12:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] So?

[12:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "A galaxy that conspires to typecast me for my race" *she laughts*

[12:19] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy laughs and drapes an arm around her shoulder.* Maybe it is trying to help you laugh...

[12:19] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Was it really that easy to tell?

[12:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I think its mom pulling strings to have the galaxy say 'You should lisened to your mother, Desiree' " *embraces Baker while laughting*

[12:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] What, you and the chief?

[12:20] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] And why would she do that?

[12:21] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: What about me and the chief? *he raises a brow*

[12:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Oh... So it is only my parents who go trough extreme lengths to prove they know best?"

[12:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Never mind.

[12:21] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran checked something on her PADD and smirked to herself.*

[12:22] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The silence in the brig is defeaning.*

[12:22] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: No.. you brought it up. Don't brush it away so soon.

[12:22] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran relished it.  V'Tira must have been caught in a bear trap somewhere.*

[12:22] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] If I was wrong I apologize.

[12:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I don't think mine are influencing another galaxy, no.

[12:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *She giggles.*

[12:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Of course not, Still if it was true I would not be surpriced for more then a day"

[12:24] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They would need better technology than I've ever seen!

[12:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Or jsut sleep with the right people"

[12:25] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he brings his hand up to cover his face* I mean technically, well the other Nalie yeah.. but our chief? Pffft fat chance.

[12:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blushes slightly.*

[12:27] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] There's gonna come a day when she's gonna need someone.

[12:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *giggles*

[12:28] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Kobay seems to do a good job in filling in that role for her.

[12:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy averts her eyes.*

[12:29] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Maybe. *She digs into her hasperat.* But thee's only so much comfort a friend can provide.

[12:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Now the question..."

[12:31] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: She's gotta first want it.. *he shrugs* And you?

[12:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The question?

[12:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Me?

[12:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "To do you, or to do some reports, of course!"

[12:32] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Yes you.. what about you?

[12:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy's face turns crimson red.*

[12:33] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] What about me?

[12:35] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Not going back on the saddle?

[12:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Hmm, I do think its appropriate to give an answer?"

[12:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara hides her for a moment, laughing to avoid her cheeks swelling up.* I'm content with the way things are.

[12:37] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I...ummm...uhhh...I...

[12:37] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy stammers.*

[12:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *whispers playfully* "Is what how you answers propperly"

[12:38] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he blinked, he didn't think his wordplay was that clever* You sure about that?

[12:38] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Yes?

[12:39] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Positive? Because Spacr could help you out if you're in a rut.

[12:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I...what?

[12:40] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Damian Snow...

[12:41] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Yes Kara? That's my name?

[12:41] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You seriously think I would use that?

[12:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes ma'am, or noooo ma'am?" *Teases playfully*

[12:41] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: What? It's a small ship..

[12:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Y-y-yes m-ma'am....

[12:42] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Which would be a reason not to use it.

[12:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You desire that I do you rather the nreports?"

[12:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy raises her head and then lowers it again.*

[12:42] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: You mean use it.. Gotta keep your options open.

[12:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Hmmm?"

[12:43] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Damian, I'm happpy with how it is.

[12:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *in a low voice.* [Baker] y-yes...

[12:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Good girl, This way then" *Leads baker to baker and V'Tiras quarters*

[12:45] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he blinks* YOu saying you weren't happy before?

[12:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy goes willingly.*

[12:45] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Did I say that?

[12:46] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: No but I was thinking it.

[12:48] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Damian...I'd just like some time to myself.

[12:49] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Not right this moment...but in general, I think it does me good.

[12:51] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he studies her for a moment* Alright then. *he then dives into his hasperat*

[12:52] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara gives him a small smile and continues to eat.*

[12:52] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: So how was your end in the shuttlebay? Easy?

[12:53] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Routine once the power was redirected.*

[12:55] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: That's good..Did the captain remember your name? Just curious.

[12:56] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I don't think I asked. Why?

[12:56] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Just wondering..

[12:57] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara scratches her head.*

[12:59] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: I dunno, rumour going around that the captai doesn't even know his own crew.. on a ship of this size.. its.. *he puffs out his cheeks* Mind boggling.

[12:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] A bit weird...he's ummm...a bit eccentric, no?

[1:00] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Yeah.. like how does he go from knowing who you are to looking at you like a complete stranger?

[1:00] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: THat hurt.. *he bites into his hasperat*

[1:01] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Well...you know...they say he was pretty traumatized by the whole Salvation business.

[1:03] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Oh.. that makes sense..

[1:04] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Maybe I should ask him.

[1:05] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Kinda sad.. would be an awkward conversation...

[1:05] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Yeah.

[1:07] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Fastrack for a promotion right there.. 'Hey captain? Do you have short term memory loss or something?'

[1:07] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara laughs.*

[1:08] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Damian Snow, the career visionary.

[1:09] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he grins* But I'm just an ensign.

[1:10] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] We're young.

[1:11] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Riiight.. we're young.. we got all the time in the world to shape our future.. *he chuckles as he takes another bite of his bajoran delicacy*

[1:12] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] See? Now you're getting it.

[1:14] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: It's easy as one two three.

[1:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] On your way to Admiral now.

[1:16] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: ALright.. no. Admiral? That just makes me cringe.

[1:17] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: WE've only been on this ship for a little over a year and we

[1:17] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: we're talking admiral alraedy? slow your horse there.

[1:17] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] What?

[1:18] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: Too soon for the admiral talk.. im trying to foucs on junior grade at the moment.

[1:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] It's just a future dream.

[1:21] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: That's too far into the future.. that's where it gets scary.. *he eyes the rest of his hasperat* You can have mine now. I'm full.

[1:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara accepts it and starts eating.*

[1:22] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he watches her* Same old Kara..

[1:22] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] It's me. *She smiles.*

[1:25] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: I'll leave you to your bitten, half eaten already hasperat now..

[1:26] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Thanks for the company, Dam.

[1:27] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he grins* Was enjoyable this time? I wasn't completely annoying? Hey.. progress.

[1:27] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Progress...

[1:29] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he stands up and reaches over to playfully pat her shoulder* Don't choke now.. would be a shame.

[1:30] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Why?

[1:31] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: One less pretty face aboard..more work for us until we get a replacement.. just a huge mess in general.

[1:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara rolls her eyes.* Thanks, Dam. Good night.

[1:36] [DOIC3] Damian@the5of435: *he gives her his usual look before he jets* Night.

[1:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Night.
