Pilgrim 8/22

[9:16] [DOIC] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: -=The Pilgrim theme music plays as the camera zooms on on T'Pang for her log...*

[9:17] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's Log, Stardate 93783.25, I have taken command of the Romulan vessel the  Tremar Vastram. We are now waiting for word from Admiral Arak to begin out shakedown cruise.

[9:18] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Surprisingly, the transition has gon far smoother than expected. We will find out suring the shakedown how well the crew has adapted to the Romulan systems. End Log.

[9:18] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Pratt] =/\= Lieutenant Pratt to the Captain. Incoming transmission from Admiral Arak.

[9:19] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Acknowledged, put it through to the ready room.=/\=

[9:19] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill was down in engineering, who would have guessed?  She was staring intently at one of the consoles, trying to figure out as much of the new system as was possible before they headed out.*

[9:19] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *In a few moments, the smiling face of Arak is on T'Pang's viewer.*

[9:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li tilts his head, baffled by something. He walks over to Jill's console.*

[9:20] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Admiral."

[9:20] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Whistles as she tip taps away at the console.*

[9:20] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Arak] Greetings, Captain. How are you finding the ship?

[9:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Atleast they got comforteble chairs...

[9:20] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Beep boops on her console-

[9:20] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She glanced over as she realised someone was standing next to her, swallowing as she realised it was Li.  She looked back at her console.*  "Something up?"

[9:20] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: I do not have a chair...

[9:21] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "It is acceptable."

[9:21] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Arak] They call it a Stelam-class. Essentially a smaller, more agile version of the Laeosa. It's intended to be their version of the Bellerophon.

[9:21] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: The kind of ingenious engineer who expects an officer to stand for eight hours of duty, in potential heavy turbulence. There is a certain level of briliance in such design.

[9:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, looking somewhat awkward as he speaks.* I couldn't figure out what this means. *He brings up the screen he is looking at.*

[9:22] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I haven't found any bugs yet.

[9:22] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She raised a brow, looking at the screen.*

[9:22] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods slowly-- "That is facinating sir." --she says in an emotionless Vulcan way that somehow comes out sounding like sarcasm.--

[9:23] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Arak, not missing a beat] So we want you to take a cruise over to Citadel Station as a shakedown.

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Pratt] Lots of ships have that design. Galaxy class, even our Bellerophon does...

[9:24] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "That is quite a shakedown Admiral, perhaps a shorter journey would be mor appropriate?"

[9:24] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: It is a design I do not agree with, my feet always hurt.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Imagine how it feels seven hours in to your shift. and suddenly we are at combat manuvers.

[9:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *beep boops like a boss resisting urg to punch npcs pushing her around*

[9:25] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] It may not be difficult to install a seat... if the Federation requires such a thing,.

[9:25] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris folds his arms, leaning back in the chair and simply staring at the console before him. With no authorization to keep working on his theories, he's at a loss for things to do.*

[9:26] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Arak] You should know that the systems have been tested by the Republic and by our own Engineers. It's more a test of your crew's ability to operate it.

[9:26] [DOIC4] Doc@Cuatela: *Down in Sickbay, Doc scrolls through some Medical files, reviewing what he's learned about the crew so far*

[9:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I am disapointed that the romulans did not see the need of a chair to secure thier tactical officers ability to remain at their station when bloody shit hits the fan. Must been one of those less good>

[9:26] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Are you alright?

[9:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > days of the empire.

[9:26] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I have faith in my crew. Just give the word Admiral."

[9:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks over at Jill, then back to the console.*

[9:27] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can't work on breaking the universe -- Captain's orders."

[9:27] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Arak] The word is given.

[9:27] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, now I just, well... have no idea what to do with myself."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -moves over to a console to check on the ship status reports-

[9:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Very good Admiral. Will there be anything else?"

[9:28] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Oh, that's one of those particle irregularities we were told about, remember?  You're supposed to realign the regulator coils when that happens," *she technobabbled.*

[9:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Everything all right over there?

[9:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Thanks.

[9:28] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Arak] Nothing at this time. Report in once you get there and let us know how the trip went.

[9:28] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Arak] Any questions before you depart?

[9:28] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Maybe you use your work as a coping mechanism. Have you ever thought about that?

[9:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "No sir, no questions."

[9:29] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks and hits the 'translate' button so she can read the reports-

[9:29] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Arak] Very good. Arak out.

[9:29] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Coping for what?"

[9:29] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She glanced over at Aria.*  "Everything's fine, someone's just got to go realign a few coils."

[9:29] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *There's a spinning USS Indepenence logo on the screen, which eventually fades out*

[9:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yup.

[9:30] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] Hello, Commander. I don't think we've met. I am Subcommander Helax with the Romulan Republic.

[9:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think I should be able to do it from here.

[9:30] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *beeps on the console to famileraize herself with the real deal, mesurign it to the holotraining sim*

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] Hello, Commander. I don't think we've met. I am Subcommander Helax with the Romulan Republic.

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *to Valkriss*

[9:30] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* You can both go if you want to practice.

[9:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks up and over to Helax and nods with a smile- I am Valkriss...ship

[9:30] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] You're kind of a ball of stress.

[9:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks up and over to Helax and nods with a smile- I am Valkriss...ship's executive officer

[9:31] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Heh, hopefully it's not going to be a manual realignment.  Good luck, Li."

[9:31] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions about the ship.

[9:31] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs and goes back to reading about various subsystems*

[9:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods her smile still warm- That is appreciated, she is a new design is she not?

[9:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: So a cardassian... joinign the federation and flys a romulan ship... Briliant. *may actually nto be sarcastic*

[9:32] [DOIC2] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] Indeed. Inspired by your own Bellerophon class, actually.

[9:32] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks to Ilya and raises a brow-

[9:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thanks Jill.

[9:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she quietly stesp out onto the bridge and takes her seat.--

[9:33] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I just kind of took that for granted."

[9:33] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: So in a sense a pocket exploratory cruiser?

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Pratt] Come on, open yourself up to new experiences. Heh.

[9:33] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He shrugs at Frame, not really knowing what to say.*

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] Correct. Something small and agile.

[9:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Hey I am serious. It is briliant. The irony is briliant to however.

[9:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "What is our status?"

[9:33] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] What drives you to do this, anyway?

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Pratt] Operations reports green, ma'am.

[9:33] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Yet able to deal with a multitude of research on what she comes across..I see

[9:34] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *The hum of the singularity core is almost hypnotic.*

[9:34] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm set source for the Avernus system."

[9:34] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *presses buttons to get status of their various means or propulsion*

[9:34] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Aye aye ma'am *Does that*

[9:34] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The sense of achievement. If I do this, any other form of faster-than-light propulsion will be obsolete. It'll be the biggest breakthrough since the Iconian Gateway."

[9:34] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Strange how fast you get used to ambiant noises huh? Or is it just me?

[9:34] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Checks the status of her Tactical Stuff-

[9:34] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [McDonald] *looks up from his console* It's probably trying to brainwash us.

[9:35] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's too loud for me.

[9:35] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I want to be the one who took the concept of distance between two points in space and ground it into dust."

[9:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to Engineering...=/\=

[9:35] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I like it," *she shrugged, glancing at McDonald.*  "I doubt a singularity core can -hypnotise- anyone."

[9:35] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Tactical reports ready, Captain.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *beeps on her console* Course set, awaiting engineering greenlight.

[9:36] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked over at Aria.*

[9:36] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [McDonald] I bet Project Salvation designed this ship.

[9:36] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Wouldnt there have to be something living in it for it to try that? And even then wouldnt it be th thing living in it and it itself?

[9:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think that's pretty unlikely too.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Bridge to Main engineering

[9:36] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I think you're being called, Aria."

[9:37] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Even if it could possibly be dangerous?

[9:37] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= engineering here.

[9:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles visualizing her freind up to her neck in tech manuals-

[9:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Dangerous in what way?"

[9:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to T'Pang- There you go captain

[9:37] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] *looks off to the left for a few seconds before responding* You never know what kind of effects it might cause.

[9:37] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *Checks on the status of the computer systems.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Yes, Commander, what is the status of the warp drive?"=/\=

[9:38] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: All systems are green, Captain Boss Ma'am.

[9:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks down at her console and smirks sending back a text-

[9:38] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Everything is good Captain. The time we spent helping out that warbird a long while back has paid dividends.

[9:38] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Is there something you're not telling me?"

[9:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=That is good to know. We are ready to get underway.=/\=

[9:39] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *smiles as she beeps on her console*

[9:39] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Plus shes too new to have anything broken from mechanical fatigue yet. Understood Captain.

[9:39] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked at Li.*  "How's the regulator coil?"

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks toward helm.-- "Helm you may engage."

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she sits back in her chair--

[9:40] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Heh. *folds his arms* Nope.

[9:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain if we are pressed for time...perhaps a test of the ship's slipstream to jaunt to Avernus...given its distance out on the rim?

[9:41] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Looks good for now.

[9:41] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Ma'am. Testing the slipstremadrive is not recomended.

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "That is a good idea."

[9:41] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The ship appears to be in good condition.

[9:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks to helm- No guts no glory Helm

[9:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've just had that impression from you ever since that time you got turned back into a human."

[9:42] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded and turned back to her console.*  "Guess we'll find out."

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at helm.-- "When would you recommend testing the system?"

[9:42] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] What do you mean?

[9:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: It damages the ship. If anything it is my sugestion we test it on the last leg home on teh cruise, ma'am.

[9:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm empathic as well as telepathic. You felt really guilty around me for some reason."

[9:42] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] It's safe to test, although it will be quite the power drain.

[9:43] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Oh, heh. I don't know what you're talking about.

[9:43] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *does the final thigns* Ready to engage, What speed, ma'am?

[9:43] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: *slips onto the bridge *

[9:43] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to Eldax with a smile- Mr Eldax

[9:43] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Oh?

[9:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: We heading out?

[9:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He rises from the console and walks over to Frame, his arms folded.* "I'd like to think we've been pretty honest with each other up to this point, wouldn't you agree?"

[9:44] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Wow someone was spaced out. *chuckles*

[9:44] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I'd say so.

[9:44] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "You know how mesmerising those particle irregularities can be," *she smirked at Aria.*

[9:45] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And we respect each other. At least, I think we do."

[9:45] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods anc chuckles*

[9:45] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li chuckles.* Yeah...didn't get much sleep last night. Sorry.

[9:46] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill turned back to her console, ready to beep boop as they zoom zoomed.*

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Engage at warp 9.5"

[9:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *smiles some at that* With pleasure... Ma'am! *Punches it*

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "if necessary engage the afterburners."

[9:47] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Not my fault party animal. *chuckles*

[9:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li rolls his eyes playfully.* Not your fault, huh...

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: The afterburners is a truster only technology. Ma'am.

[9:48] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: Ide be conservitive captain you dont want to break the big green mobile   first time out,

[9:48] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "oh right of course."

[9:48] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: No I was innocently studying and falling asleep while you and Jill held a rock concert. *snickers*

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *McDonald has a look of concern on his face.*

[9:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Eldax. This thing has two helm controls. Rather nifty.

[9:49] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Of course we do.

[9:49] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You felt guilty. I know that for a fact. I just don't know what. If it was something I keep doing, or if it was something in the moment."

[9:49] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: Oh im gonna let you Drive,   it may keep you out of trouble,

[9:50] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill nibbled her lower lip for a moment, keeping her back turned to the others as she focused herself on the Romulan console.  Eye on the ball, Dower.*

[9:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles some at Eldax's comment-

[9:50] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It bothers me, a lot. So, please, just do me this one favor and tell me."

[9:50] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Aww... ARe yu not even goign to sit there to be ready for when I mess up? *grins*

[9:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head with a slight smile.*

[9:50] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] So I felt guilty about something months ago. What's with the inquisition?

[9:50] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: Nope, casue i want to be there when the XOP has to bust your behind for Wrecking the ship

[9:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Just do not pull a 'Cameron' Helm....and we should be fine

[9:51] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: (( XO ))

[9:51] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I have Camerooned my monthly alotmet of ships this month.

[9:51] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: He's rather delicate you might want to think of his bed time next time Jill so he can't whine to both of us afterwards. *smirks playfully at Li*

[9:51] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Because it was the one insight I've ever gotten into the way you genuinely feel towards me and I have a habit of dwelling on things."

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Sends the ship in to fancy warp* Warp 7 and raising.

[9:52] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Next time I may need to set an alarm before he starts dozing off again," *Jill mused.*

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Warp eight.

[9:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* I liked the music, I was just tired.

[9:53] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *laughs* You fell asleep. You didn't tell me that!

[9:53] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Nine... *beeps buttons* Nine three

[9:53] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -quirks a brow and looks to the helm and then back to T'Pang-

[9:53] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I think you worry too much.

[9:53] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Nine four.

[9:53] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain?

[9:54] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "My species comes from a planet where the vast majority of fauna are carnivorous and bigger than us, it's genetic."

[9:54] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And that's still not an answer."

[9:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Warp nine fiver and holding. Ma'am.

[9:54] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] What kind of answer are you looking for, anyway?

[9:55] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "An honest one."

[9:55] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks down at her screen and reads some more to ignore the awkward silence*

[9:55] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I just think you might be delving into something bigger than you expect. That's all.

[9:55] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, what, that's why you feel guilty?"

[9:55] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Huh, she's humming at 9.5 like a champ," *Jill said, changing the subject.*

[9:55] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Looks good.

[9:56] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "What are you, some kind of time traveler dropping cryptic hints about some mistake I'm going to make?"

[9:56] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I dont get why we arent testing the slip drive id rather make sure its good in friendly space you know with a tow truck nearby than out in unexplored space.

[9:56] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "The captain might want to test the singularity core first before we put on our big kid pants."

[9:57] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I guess.

[9:57] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Hah.

[9:57] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I wish.

[9:57] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It just doesn't make sense to me."

[9:57] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I mean, even without a direct window into your feelings, I can tell I kind of push your buttons sometimes."

[9:57] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [McDonald] I don't trust second-rate Romulan slipdrives.

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: All systems are holding with 9.5. as it looks now we could maintain this for a few hours. Ma'am

[9:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Impressive

[9:58] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "But this is one of those things that I just can't understand."

[9:58] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Quit being a xenophobe over there, McDonald, the Romulan ship is just fine."

[9:58] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I just know that this kind of research doesn't always turn out well.

[9:58] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [McDonald] Suuuuure.

[9:58] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I take back all the bloody nasty things I said abotu this ship. Nice chairs... nice logical controls. Sitting behind the captain to stare her in the neck in return. And fast... Briliant.

[9:59] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Did you witness something similar before or something?"

[9:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- Pity she is a loaner

[9:59] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: and stears like a stack pig in heat,

[9:59] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Its ok McDonald its probably a first rate copy of one of ours. *giggles and winks at him*

[9:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and there it is -smiles to Eldax-

[9:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What reason do we have to believe otherwise?

[9:59] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I know that ships have been lost trying this kind of thing.

[9:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods slowly-- "Good maintain this course and speed."

[9:59] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: aye ma'am

[10:00] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: Five time bigger target than the pilgrim and no armour

[10:00] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Is this some kind of indirect slip of classified information I'm not supposed to know?"

[10:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -walks over to Idria and nods to her- Lieutenant....how is our tactical systems on power at this speed?

[10:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: As long as she packs sixtimes the firepower.

[10:01] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "The ship's mission is science and exploration Mister Eldax."

[10:01] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Jumps slightly, having been prefocused on her console- Eep! -She then composes herself looking to Val- Uhm, all the Weapons Control systems are ready, ma'am.

[10:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Very well...runs some weapons drills then. Lets see how your crews react

[10:02] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: I can stil run the pilgrim around this thing

[10:03] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] All I'm saying is that I know it's gone wrong in the past.

[10:03] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Yes, maam. -she says starting typ on he r cosole to initiate the drills-

[10:04] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I thought this was faster then the pilgrim?

[10:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and nods to her- Let me know the results when you are satisfied with their performance

[10:04] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: Nope

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I agree Mister Eldax, I have a strong preference for the Pilgrim. However, this is our current assigment. We need to perform our jobs to the best of our abilities. No matter the limitation placed >

[10:04] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You sure you're not a time traveler?" *He just smirks at Frame.*

[10:04] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So um any new theories McDonald?

[10:04] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks over to Aria and pecks her on the cheek.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: on us by our equipment."

[10:04] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks at him curiously wondering waht thats about*

[10:05] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [McDonald] I think they're trying to kill us.

[10:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Hmmmm?

[10:05] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: So I am the onlyone who greatly preferes this ovethe pilgrim? And people call me negative.

[10:05] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Why?

[10:05] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] To tell you the truth, I've never traveled in time.

[10:05] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [McDonald] WE know too much.

[10:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li rolls his eyes.* No one here is trying to kill us.

[10:05] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: Well cant deny the turth

[10:05] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles and shakes her head- There are a multitude of reasons why you are called negative Helm

[10:06] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: My bloodgroup is not included, I assume?

[10:06] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Winces at thr screen as she sees the results coming back in, shaking her head, she starts to type on the screen preparing more drills-

[10:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to Ilya.-- "Bear in mind Lieutenant Ilya, for the rest of us we have served on the Pilgrim much longer and have grow accustomed to that ship."

[10:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks wolfishly over her shoulder to Ilya-

[10:06] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill just sighed and kept watching the singularity core.*

[10:07] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, since we're on the subject of being truthful, can I ask you something?"

[10:07] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: About?

[10:07] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Don't worry. I can symaptezise with you. Losing ones home sucks.

[10:07] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Sure, go ahead.

[10:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -walks over and knees the back of Cali's chair gently and smiles a nod to her- So how are our sensor power systems at this speed Cali?

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glances-- "Yes, that is a tragedy you are unfortunately familiar with."

[10:07] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The universe, clearly.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -tightens her jaw some as Ilya mentions losing a ship-

[10:08] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [McDonald] We've had so many run-ins with classified projects during the last couple years.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *SLow turns to Val, and shrugs* I can check for ya if you want.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- If it is not to much trouble

[10:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: So what"?

[10:09] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Aye aye! *She checks the efficiency of the sensors and such at the speed they were going.*

[10:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Wouldnt they pull Boyd first you know to make it more clandestine?

[10:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Do look on the bright side of life, Ma'am. We are getting the pilgrim back. With some bloody briliant ideas to take with us to make yoru home better.

[10:10] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Speaking of, have any of you even seen her since we got on board?"

[10:10] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [McDonald] That's how they do it. They make us think that it's all above board.

[10:10] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *Boyd jumps out from behind the core.* [Boyd] Haaay!

[10:10] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill quickly regrets saying that.*

[10:10] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Speak of the pah-wraith...

[10:10] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Once finished setting up the drills she initiates them again-

[10:10] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Hey Anne. Enjoying the new ship?

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she slow nods at that, she tries to hide a smile.--

[10:11] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] Oh yes! Lots of interesting places to explore.

[10:11] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks at the screen and screws up her face and sighs- Well at least it was better that time. -she says as she goes back to programing the drills-

[10:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -teases- are you carving the power system report into stone Cali?

[10:11] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Like the singularity core..?" *she raised a brow.*

[10:11] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles*

[10:11] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She hides the chisel* Huh? No...I swear...

[10:12] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- So?

[10:12] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *whispers to Li* You know we are on duty get to work. *chuckles*

[10:12] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Is dating out of the question?"

[10:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Untill that, I am goign to en..... *beeps on her console* Enjoy... compensating some slight highwarp gravitron interfereane to our course.

[10:12] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] Look at that thing. Isn't it ominous?

[10:13] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I dunno, I think it's kind of cool."

[10:13] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I think its beautiful. Plus I mean the romulans have a wonderful choice of colors for their designs. *laughs*

[10:13] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Serris... I'm mostly a robot.

[10:14] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yes, and?"

[10:14] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He tilts his head.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she reads the data coming up on her console, it is all in Romulan.--

[10:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smirks and pecks her again before heading back to his console.*

[10:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's really cool I just don't like the noise.

[10:14] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I'm not wired up like you are. I have no hormones. You have endless amounts.

[10:15] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Once again starts the Drills-

[10:15] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -clicks her tongue- ....perhaps having it done in caligraphy and embossed and engraved?

[10:15] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] I saw an old earth movie with something lik ethis.

[10:15] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You're the one jumping straight to the physical side of things."

[10:16] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: You can transfer a console to the lab and work by serris if you need to.

[10:16] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: What are you, my mom? Land the helicopter already, you're hoverin'.

[10:16] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] It was a 1997 science fiction horror film called Event Horizon.

[10:17] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I haven't heard of that one," *Jill shrugged.*

[10:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ((starts speaking in latin...))

[10:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles- Just give the report oh scaled one

[10:18] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: What was it about?

[10:18] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: Here we go. *She pulls out the telegram receipt.* It says....Systems working efficiently STOP.... Working very well STOP.... End report STOP.

[10:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: And leave you guys? *Li chuckles.*

[10:19] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *snickers to herself*

[10:19] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: You have to end with "Full stop"

[10:19] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] An Earth experiment goes horribly wrong and sends everyone to "Hell."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles and nods- Good then the Indians did not cut the wires between here and Fort Apache...run a series of sensor sweeps...cover all ranges..lets see what these sensors can do

[10:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she raises and eyebrow.--

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Buckner] YEEHAW. Now ya'll speakin' my language.

[10:20] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So like a frankenstein trope.

[10:20] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -winks to Ole' Buck-

[10:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I understand that's a problem, but I'm sure you've noticed that I still want to give it a shot."

[10:20] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She blinked.*  "That's not ominous at all."

[10:20] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I know. You're ambitious.

[10:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's just some Earth fiction.

[10:21] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Like the ones with killer aliens or the ones with killer robots. *shrugs*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: You got it Chief DancesWithDanger.

[10:22] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "To be fair... there did turn out to be killer aliens -and- killer robots, eventually."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: *She tip tap tops her way through using the sensors to make some sweeps.*

[10:22] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Good Luck Little Runningwithscissors

[10:22] [DOIC1] Calisca Kurot@Cute_Girl: SOmetimes you gotta cut, and do it fast.

[10:22] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, clearly there's still something in the way if I haven't succeeded yet."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *beeps on her console*

[10:23] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -continues her circle from Bridge station to bridge station having each department run the required tests and drills-

[10:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Correlation does not equal casuation, Jill.

[10:24] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Never said it did, just that sometimes, fiction does accurately predict the future.  And sometimes, the future materialises first in fiction before it becomes a reality."

[10:25] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I'm not sure I can date anyone.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So you are saying we are going to go to hell now? *chuckles*

[10:25] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] I've heard that some 20th century Earth fiction actually demonstrated our communicators.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: At least ahtt would give McDonald some new material.

[10:25] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks amused as she sends a text-

[10:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm not planning on visiting the Fire Cares anytime soon.

[10:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *goes from a rather good mood to a rather sour mood as somethign comes on her console*

[10:26] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No desire for emotional companionship?"

[10:26] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Hey, maybe we'll go to Hades.  I hear the Greek gods can be reasoned with sometimes."

[10:27] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Not really.... I suppose, not in that sense.

[10:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* I think I'll pass.

[10:27] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill couldn't help but chuckle.*

[10:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles over at her, then to Aria.* I already turned down the Celestial Temple once.

[10:28] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *frowns*

[10:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well if we end up there too bad Tronk isnt still on board we would need physical courrency for that boat guy.

[10:28] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, that certainly makes things difficult."

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Prett] You okay, Lieutenant?

[10:29] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks over the bridge and then back to her console-

[10:29] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I feel like I died back in the War. This life isn't my life.

[10:29] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I'm sure we could replicate the base metals that primitive Earth cultures used as currency."

[10:29] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yes I am fine... Compensating for some of the galactic gravety flux as we highspeed away from the core. Very smooth to fly.

[10:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm what is our ETA?"

[10:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris' normally carefree expression transitions to one of concern.*

[10:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Have you talked to a counselor about that?"

[10:30] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I don't need to. I got a second shot that many people didn't get. None of my friends got the chance.

[10:31] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *beep boops bored* I wonder when we will stress test this baby if at all.

[10:31] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That doesn't mean you're obligated to suffer in silence." *He tentatively places a hand on Frame's bicep.*

[10:32] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Hopefully before we have to stress it out," *she shrugged.*

[10:32] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] It's hard to say what I mean. I'm not suffering.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: fourteen minutes, Thirty seconds, ma'am

[10:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That's normally not how it works.

[10:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she steeples her fingers as she leans back.-- "excellent."

[10:33] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "When has anything gone normally, though?"

[10:34] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Thats why you usually stress test in safe space.

[10:34] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You're disconnected, in more ways than one."

[10:34] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Maybe you should tell the captain that, then," *she shrugged.*

[10:34] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] No, I just... acknowledge that my second life is a life of service.

[10:35] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: She's been around longer than me. Im sure she will if she wants too maybe we are just doing milk runs for the next month.

[10:36] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked back at her console.*  "Well, might as well milk it for all it's worth in that case."

[10:37] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I wonder what Anne will slap together to make the show interesting if we arent doing anything worthwile.

[10:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Says who?"

[10:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You're a man, not a puppet."

[10:38] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] That was a decision I made.

[10:38] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And one you seem to regret."

[10:39] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I've never regretted it. I do miss some parts about my old life, but I never regret anything.

[10:40] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I'm sure she'll find a way to frame it like we are doing something interesting," *she shrugged.*  "That, or a clip show of memorable moments from past episodes."

[10:40] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *Anne pokes her head from behind a column.* [Boyd] I do a lot of commentary when there's downtime.

[10:40] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] Or when Starfleet Intelligence redacts a clip.

[10:40] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "GAH!  Are you just always there?"

[10:41] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles* Hey Anne whos doll gets the most replications?

[10:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, what do you miss?"

[10:43] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *Boyd chuckles.* As far as we know, it's Valkriss. People love the action.

[10:43] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] They also like to replicate the Engineering team. Cause...

[10:43] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] Nevermind.

[10:43] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "I don't blame them, that detatchable bat'leth was pretty neat."

[10:43] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Wait, cause what?"

[10:43] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I don't know. Being normal.

[10:44] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] The, uh. *rubs the back of her neck and mumbles*

[10:44] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oh come on you cant tease us with a half answer.

[10:44] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill looked at Anne curiously.*

[10:45] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] The teenage girls are really fascinated by the whole Aria-Jill-Li dynamic.

[10:45] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill's eyebrows rose ever higher.*  "Because... we're such a great team?" *she asked hopefully.*

[10:45] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] Oh yeah. That's definitely it.

[10:46] [DOIC3] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Boyd] I gotta go work on my latest episode. Bye! *she hustles for the door*

[10:46] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "What a strange woman."

[10:46] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs* Well I guess we are good role models then. *smiles as it goes over her head*

[10:46] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "What's normal in space?"

[10:47] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Not being mostly a robot.

[10:47] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill cleared her throat slightly, trying to put the old fanfics she'd written when she was a 13 year old girl out of her mind.*

[10:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head, doing his best to limit his cheeks which were slightly pink.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -lifts her head up- Odd...

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: *Helax looks at Val.* Problem?

[10:48] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Do you really hate it that much?"

[10:49] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Oh, I don't hate it. There are some benefits. It's just... different.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *hits her console in anger*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -shakes her head- Im not sure..i felt a need to punch someone just then...-shrugs- its fading

[10:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I do remember a lot of attention when we were on that ship a long time ago.

[10:49] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] Hmmm.... I see.

[10:49] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Where Anne interviewed you. *He looks to Aria.*

[10:49] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Was that while I was gone?" *she asked.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: *turns and Looks at Ilya " you know the console never did anything to you ? "

[10:50] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "But different in a way that makes you feel... ostracized?"

[10:50] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yea... I know, Sorry... Nice logical console.

[10:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think it was before your time actually.

[10:50] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Ahh."

[10:51] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I think ive done a few interviews maybe. Which one?

[10:51] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Was it the one where star fleet intelligence had stern words for me afterwards?

[10:52] [DOIC1] Eldax@Flashpoint1.0: *smirks and looks back to navigation,  mumbling *  That other ship  is starting to sound better all the time,

[10:52] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] I don't think I ever felt ostracized. Most people didn't know. My team was very supportive.

[10:52] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckle at Eldax's comment-

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *pats her console appologetically*

[10:53] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, what's the problem then?"

[10:53] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: ...yes.

[10:54] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles and shakes her head*

[10:54] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Your whole frame of reference changes. You come back from death and you aren't biological.

[10:54] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] No biological impulses. Maintenance in Engineering instead of a physician.

[10:55] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Aproaching the Avernus system, Dropign warp in thirty seconds. Ma'am.

[10:55] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No hunger, no senses working in tandem with urges to give life a little color."

[10:55] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Right. It just is what it is.

[10:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I remember now. We got to meet the 'Pilgrim Fan Club'.

[10:56] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --gives a nods--

[10:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Then some pirates took over the ship and kidnapped Eldax.

[10:57] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Wait, what?"

[10:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yup.

[10:57] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "And I thought it was weird when we met our fans on the Starbase..."

[10:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Aria saved everyone on the ship.

[10:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Engineering was going to go critical.

[10:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Ten seconds.

[10:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "contact gate control and request permission to make the transit to the LMC."

[10:58] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Didn't you break your ankle?

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Pratt] Avernus Control is signaling. We have clearance to enter the Gateway.

[10:58] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "People are so weird..." *she sighed, studying the console in case the beeps weren't booping.*

[10:58] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Remember that time I made you feel hungry again?"

[10:58] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris chuckles.*

[10:58] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Three, Two, One... Dropign warp *Drops out of warp in the avernus system, not to far from the station and gateway*

[10:58] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Heh. Yes, I do. That was an interesting day.

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "set course for the gateway and prepare to make the transit."

[10:59] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sighs.* Yes, when we jumped down to get take engineering I remember hurting my ankle. I didn't break it though, I've never done that.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Aye aye ma'am. Enganging impulse *Pilots the ship on the aproach to the gateway*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks over to the viewscreen- Always a lovely and impressive sight...no matter how any trips we go through her

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Helax] This will be my first time...

[11:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles to Helax- It is truly an experience

[11:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Congratulations. Do not look at your sensors then. They tend to lie a lot in transit.

[11:01] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "At least you didn't hit your head?" *she smirked over at Li.*

[11:01] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, I can't give you your old definition of normal, but I might be able to add some color to your life."

[11:01] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles* I remember you were brave Li. Just not lucky.

[11:02] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I tried. *Li smirks back at Jill.* My head was fine.

[11:02] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] The color blue?

[11:02] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think that was fairly earlier in our relationship. *He looks to Aria.* I remember being really scared that you weren't going to survive.

[11:03] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Fx] The gateway looms large on the main viewer.

[11:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: ma'am, Shall I alert engineering of the gateway use?

[11:04] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris chuckles.* "It's a nice color."

[11:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, let them know we are about to enter the gateway."

[11:04] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles and shrugs* It worked out ok. Plus I mean its logical for a engineer to try and keep things from exploding while everyone else is prepping for evac.

[11:04] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Helm to engineering.

[11:05] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Some say that it's the warmest colour.

[11:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and looks to Aria.*

[11:07] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Um, Aria, I think they're paging you again."

[11:07] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= engineering here

[11:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --taps on her arm rest impatiently.--

[11:07] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Good morning sunshine. We are about to enter the gateway to the LMC. Please prep the ship secure transit and let me know when I can proceed.

[11:08] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Dinner in the mess hall later?"

[11:08] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Sure.

[11:08] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Back into the woods," *Jill mused as she began preparations on her console.*

[11:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks over to a console and looks back to Aria.* Everything looking green here.

[11:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Will do.

[11:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Good to go.

[11:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Briliant. Helm out.

[11:10] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles some as she listens-

[11:10] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Not really much to prep for gateway use.

[11:10] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Wasn't that hard to commit to a date, was it?" *He nudges Frame teasingly as he goes back to his console.*

[11:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Ready for transit, ma'am.

[11:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she does the who Picard engage gesture.-- "Take us in helm."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Gently glides the ship in on its thrusters*

[11:12] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She eyeballed the singularity drive, as if making sure it wasn't about to open a portal to Hell upon contact with the gate.*

[11:12] [DOIC5] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Frame] Wait, that's a date?

[11:13] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Fx] The ship slides into the gateway.

[11:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li pays close attention to his console.*

[11:15] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, isn't that normally how that goes? Flirtatious back and forth followed by arranging to meet later."

[11:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *watches the viewscreen, still amazed how beautiful the transit is after all these times*

[11:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --watches the screen, she seems unmoved by it all.--

[11:18] [DOIC1] DGM K'Ossuth@atemporal: [Fx] The Tremar Vastaram is placed out into space, on the other side of the gate. Citadel Station is visible in the distance.

[11:18] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -turns to the viewscreen captivated by the sheer beautyand majesty of the travel through the gate-

[11:18] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill was stuck down below and didn't get to see it.  Womp womp womp.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm set course for the Citadel station."

[11:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "What is the ship's status?"

[11:19] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Mr Pratt...alert Citadel traffic control of our arrival

[11:19] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: And so a month of boring milk runs begins.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Aye aye ma'am *engages impulse and moves the ship towards the citadel*

[11:20] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Don't jinx us, now," *Jill chuckled.*

[11:20] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I dunno about that.

[11:20] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I mean its nice to see new systems but if we are just going to baby this thing I should of stayed back with the pilgrim to make sure they fix her right.

[11:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You would miss me too much. *Li grins.*

[11:21] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: But think of all the covers I would get to myself. *chuckles*

[11:22] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Anyway, I doubt we'll encounter anything but smooth sailing between here and the Citadel."

[11:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Don't you remember our first voyage?

[11:23] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Not particularly.

[11:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: We got stuck in that weird dimension.

[11:25] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "That could be said for a few of our missions."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: commander, How long do you think we will stay at the citadel?

[11:26] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =shrugs- Unknown, I am aware of no set of orders yet Lieutenant

[11:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles and nods* there have been a few.

[11:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It was like... a weird shop of some kind.

[11:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oh you mean the first trip out here? I thought you mean tthe first one with you on board.

[11:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* We went to the mirror universe for that.

[11:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Helm bring us into dock

[11:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Idria...how did those simulations go for your people?

[11:30] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Aye ma'am, cutting impulse... aproahcing on thrusters. *Gently pilots the ship to a dock, taking it a bit slower then normal due to a new ship and all*

[11:31] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Bridge to engineering

[11:31] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Turnsa round and looks at Valkriss- I uhm, got them to perform uhm.. adequetly however it will uhm need some work.

[11:31] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *rubs her temple* maybe that noise is getting to me. =^= engineering.

[11:32] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm glad it's not just me.

[11:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Full stop, relinquising engine control.

[11:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Good work Lieutenant...but lets give Beta watch a go at it..you can hit your people up first thing next watch

[11:33] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Nods some- Yes, ma'm.

[11:33] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Aria...we are docking at Citadel....your people can stand down for beta once we are moored...tell them they did a damn fine job

[11:33] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Will do.

[11:34] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Idria call up up beta relieve if you will....and then be sure to grab some food and rest

[11:34] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Val says good job. Now its time for beta shift to haul the milk on board the sttion when we dock.

[11:34] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill beamed.*  "Wonder if they have a real restaurant on the Citadel... I could go for something non-replicated."

[11:34] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Secure all morrings helm

[11:34] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Done... and... done, ma'am.

[11:34] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: +

[11:35] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I thought it was still just all official stuff on board.

[11:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- No bad helm..not bad at all

[11:35] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well maybe they got something put in since we've been there!"

[11:35] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: =^= Beta Watch report to stations.

[11:35] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I like this ship.

[11:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I must admit i do too

[11:35] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: It is uhh... very greeny-bluey-thingie-biegey colored

[11:35] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Irdia? Come here.

[11:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes the lighting does take some getting used to

[11:36] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Walks over to Ilya-

[11:36] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: IT is not like sunbathing in a spotligt... quiet plesant

[11:36] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Sit.

[11:36] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Tilts her head at Ilya and sits-

[11:37] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: ((Is so sat))

[11:37] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Is it not the msot comforteble helmseat you felt outside of a fighter?

[11:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks- someone misses her heating rock

[11:37] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: True... it oculd be a bit warmer in here

[11:37] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: It is ehm, kinda comfortable I guess? I have never sat in a helm seat.

[11:38] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -She gets up-

[11:38] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Now you have, congratulations.

[11:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I would just like a break from...that sound.

[11:39] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, should be beta shift soon, anyway."

[11:39] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well I have some systems I want to tinker with and then I want to get a staus update on how they are treating our baby. So good shift I'll see you both latter.

[11:40] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded at Aria.*  "You too!"

[11:41] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I wonder if the yhave holodecks on these things.

[11:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Well we should atleast visit our new mess hall

[11:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I guess

[11:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: You guess?

[11:42] [DOIC3] Jillian@liorexus: *She shrugged.*  "Well, regardless, I think I'm in dire need of a sandwich."  *She yeilded her console to her relief.*

[11:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I suppose?

[11:42] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and does the same.*

[11:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks- I am hungry you are free to join me

[11:43] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yea... no shit sherloc... You are not quiet you when you are hungry.

[11:44] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -quirks a brow at her tone on the bridge- Uh huh

[11:44] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *After some wandering through the halls, Jill stepped into the mess hall and headed for the bar.*

[11:44] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li joins Jill at the bar.*

[11:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Shall we?

[11:45] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes....we shall

[11:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Idria? Are you comming?

[11:45] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She flagged down the bartender.*  "Alright... could I get a hot sandwich on a sourdough roll, one side garlic aioli, one side pesto sauce, lots of roast beef, provolone cheese and plenty of onions."

[11:45] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Oh, and french fries on the side!"

[11:45] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to Idria then leans into whisper to Ilya-

[11:46] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Hungry much?

[11:46] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smirks as he orders some hasperat.*

[11:46] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "I've been thinking of that sandwich the entire shift..."

[11:46] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *sighs deeply and just nods* Yea... You are right.

[11:46] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Really?

[11:46] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, most of it anyway," *she chuckled.*

[11:47] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -steps inside- Mess hall

[11:48] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li chuckles as he receives his hasperat.*

[11:48] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She beamed at the sight of her sandwich, immediately picking up one of the halves and biting into it.*  "God -damn.-"

[11:49] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: a garden?

[11:49] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.*

[11:49] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -Looks around at the ship curiously-

[11:50] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "What?" *she challenged Li.*

[11:51] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's just...the langauge barrier I guess.

[11:52] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *looks at the bartender* A large pint of dry stout.

[11:52] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -steps up to the bar and orders a french au jus sandwich , french fries and a cherry soda and ice-

[11:52] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Oh, right.  Sorry.  It's just really good."

[11:52] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -quirks a brow at Ilya- No lemonade?

[11:53] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: No.

[11:53] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -Orders water with ice in it-

[11:54] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ah.

[11:54] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You probably think I'm being ridiculous.

[11:55] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She shook her head.*  "No, I mean, it's something that means a lot to you."

[11:55] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *takes her pint and glups down some*

[11:56] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -eyes her some- Why not?

[11:56] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -Sips her water and watches Valkriss' and Ilya's exchange-

[11:57] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She ordered herself some ketchup for her fries and a synthale.*

[11:57] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I know but it's not like you were cursing out the Prophets.

[11:57] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -accepts her food and puts mustard and ketchup on her fries-

[11:58] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, it means totally different things on our respective worlds.  I just have to remember that," *she said, offering him a small smile.*

[11:58] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li returns the smile.* I don't want you to be afraid to express yourself.

[11:59] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Well yeah, but I can still be respectful while I do that," *she said, dunking two fries at a time in her ketchup.*

[11:59] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: I feel like stout, Is that a crime?

[12:00] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes a bite of his hasperat.*

[12:00] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Not a crime..just unusual for you

[12:01] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She took a sip of synthale.*  "Had a chance to root around in the Romulan holodeck programs yet?"

[12:01] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Gonna break some habits I guess... Otherwise Id be drinking bajoran tears still.

[12:01] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -frowns at that- Meaning?

[12:01] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: No, not yet.

[12:01] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill glanced down at Ilya at that, but decided to mind her own business.  That being her sandwich, mainly.*

[12:01] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Meaning that at times people need to change their habits for the better.

[12:02] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -snarls some to her quietly- That comment was uncalled for

[12:02] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *shrugs and takes another mouth of her drink*

[12:02] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -Cants her head at Ilya-

[12:03] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Mh... well, maybe we could do that sometime while we're docked here."

[12:03] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -snarls a little more darkly- Ilya?

[12:03] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I would like to.

[12:03] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Yes?

[12:04] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: What ever is bothering you...give it voice...or stow it....but watch what you say. That is twice now, you know better.

[12:04] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks happily at Jill.* It should be...unique.

[12:04] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Right... Ill stow it. *takes another sip*

[12:05] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -sneers- Of course..take the easy way out

[12:05] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Could well be the first Federation members to experience a Romulan program," *she chuckled.*

[12:05] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Indeed, That is what cardassians do. *takes a larger sip*

[12:06] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: You are hardly a typical cardassian

[12:06] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You're right!

[12:06] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -takes a big much needed bite of her sandwhich-

[12:06] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: I will just stow my answer *Takes another sip*

[12:06] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Maybe I can learn some new tricks.

[12:07] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -slowly looks to her- You knwo it is me you are talking too...what is this? Why the new rotten attitude?

[12:08] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Do you ever mess around with programing in the holodeck?

[12:08] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *just takes another sip, noticing her sip did not become as large as she want as hse already had eptied her pint. she glides the vessel to the end of the bar and looks at the bartender* Another.

[12:09] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Oh, on occasion.  Mostly just settings and stuff, though.  I haven't tried putting together my own full program in a while."

[12:09] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ah.

[12:09] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's kind of one of my hobbies.

[12:10] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded.*  "You mentioned that before, but we never got around to trying one of your programs."

[12:10] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* If you don't like the Romulan programs I brought them over.

[12:10] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -sets her jaw- So you plan to keep pushing me on this i see

[12:10] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She chuckled.*  "Well, we've got a backup in case the Romulan ones are too... Romulan."

[12:11] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *takes her new pint and brings it to her mouth but stops, placing it on the bar again and looks up rather sad at Valkriss* What do you want me to say, Valkriss?

[12:11] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well I for one was expecting them to be very...Ferengi.

[12:11] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs.*

[12:12] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She laughed as well.*  "Oh, you know what I mean!"

[12:12] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Why the change?

[12:12] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -her tone drops to a softer yet still firm tone at her look-

[12:12] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: What do you think?

[12:13] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I do not understand...if this is about our last engagement...we won

[12:13] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: It came at a cost..but we were victorious

[12:14] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: right... *sults and burries herself in her drink again*

[12:14] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Duh, just playing with you. *He slaps her on the back.* I'm sure the Romulan programs will be interesting.

[12:14] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -covers her drink with her gloved hand before she can take a sip- Talk to me not drink

[12:16] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: What is there to say? To you we won. And you truly mean that. Talking about it would be like having a scientific discussion about what dip sauce to fries tastes best.

[12:16] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She coughed slightly at the smack on her back, grinning over at Li.*  "If nothing else," *she chuckled.*

[12:17] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Maybe they utilize some aspects of holotechnology we haven't thought of!

[12:17] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Ofcourse i mean it...it was battle...we drive them off...we surivived

[12:17] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Maybe we'll have to dissect their holodeck when we're finished with it..." *she beamed at the prospect.*

[12:17] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: But something about it still wounds you

[12:18] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Now that's a project I can get behind.

[12:19] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *clences her fists and takes some moments before answering* We lost good people that day. A lot of them. We let the adagio get away. We did not win, we simply did not lose as bloody much as they did.

[12:19] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Maybe could even get some ideas for our EMH bombs..."

[12:20] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: That is victory....we were overmatched..outgunned..and ambushed...wounded yes...but when the day was over it was WE that held the ground

[12:20] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: That is victory

[12:21] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: No. That is iditism. Sugesting whoever can throw the most shit untill it sticks at a problem is a winner. Perhaps for the dominion it was a victory. Maybe even cardassians, or klingons for that >

[12:21] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: EMH...bombs?

[12:22] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: > matter. But for the federation, and anyone valuing life while the yare alive... it was a major defeat with a minor tactical victory tied to it.

[12:22] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked over at Li.*  "The torpedoes that deploy EMH drones to a wide area after it's been attacked?"

[12:22] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -shakes her head-

[12:22] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ohhhhhh.

[12:23] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I speak as a soldier..not as a typical Klingon warrior Ilya

[12:23] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Didn't we come up with that?

[12:23] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill laughed.*  "Yes, we invented it."

[12:23] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "It was a long time ago, but yeah, that was us."

[12:23] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I did not fight for glory that day nor for honor...I fought to protect and save lives

[12:24] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: and at the end of the fight..we held the field...we did not die ...that wa a victory

[12:24] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li chuckles.* I remember now...to rescue the survivors of that plague on Dreon VII.

[12:24] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: And whenever I am alone, I see that cell... or the shuttle as it all went up in flames. And everytime my head hurts... and it does tahat a lot lately... I see that bloody vulcan and feel his... >

[12:25] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Mhm.  Wonder if any of the other ships have adopted that tech?  It'd be really useful I think."

[12:25] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: > disgusting presence. as he tore my mind out repeatedly with such unpersonal distant coldness.

[12:25] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to her . her tone softer- Ilya....do you think such things do no stay with me after the many battls I have been in?

[12:26] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I assume if it has been needed.

[12:26] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I do understand what you are feeling...

[12:26] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill mused over this with another mouthful of synthale.*

[12:26] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Yes. and you are strong enough to handle it. Clearly, I am not. I am just some rubbish cardassian space trash *tries to drink again*

[12:27] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -scowls- Is that what that ...Vulcan called you?

[12:27] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: That hardly seems like a logical insult, To full of emotions.

[12:28] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: We've done a lot of good in our time on the Pilgrim.

[12:29] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -holds her gloss of ale still- Ilya trust me..there are no answr nor is there any solace in the drink

[12:29] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Mhm.  Feels good to be able to agree with you, there," *she smiled.*

[12:29] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: No, nither is there in lemonade.

[12:30] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: You will only find such in time

[12:30] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: and with friends who care

[12:30] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grins at her.* After...what happened at the Battle of Sol, I feel like this is what I was destined to do...this is what the Prophets wanted me to do, I mean.

[12:32] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill noddded.*  "I never had anything quite that dramatic, but I feel the same way.  Like this is what I'm supposed to do, I mean.  I felt like that since I first learned about my dad when I was...

[12:32] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Right... *taks another sip with a heavy sigh*

[12:32] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: ...little."

[12:32] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: You did not fail

[12:33] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: That is actually an impossible statement for you to make.

[12:34] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: No..I was there

[12:34] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: and have been in your situation

[12:34] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and frowns.*

[12:35] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: You can only judge if I failed if you know what I intended to do, as only by the purpose of the action can the action be deemed a sucess or not.

[12:35] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She took another bite of her sandwich, finishing off the first half with a satisfied sigh.*

[12:35] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: You wanted them all to die for what they did to our shipmates...to you

[12:36] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: to pay for their cowardly acts....and never be allowed to do so again

[12:36] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: and die doing so...if it would stop them

[12:36] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: That became a later objective when I had failed with my first.

[12:36] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: You did not fail in your first njective

[12:37] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: That I did.

[12:37] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm sorry about what happened to him.

[12:37] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -sighs- Your distraction allowed us to find a safe place to hide..to prepare to strike back...to allow us to escape

[12:38] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She paused for a moment, frowning softly.*  "Yeah, well, I guess that's the risk we all take coming out here.  There's always the possibility that we'll be called on to make the ultimate sacrifice...

[12:38] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: for the good of everyone."

[12:39] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: I still failed with what I intended to do. stop with the semantics Valkriss. it is not helping.

[12:39] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and takes another bite.* Aria and I already have...

[12:39] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The Prophets saw to give us both another chance.

[12:39] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: then tell me...what was your goal...the first one you failed at?

[12:39] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded.*  "You're both really lucky, in which case.  Not everyone gets that chance."

[12:40] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I know...I still remember the mission where she...you know.

[12:40] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Distract the Adagio enought so that the Pilgrim could fully break off and retreat to the citadel without any futher engagements with the adagio or her bloody fighters.

[12:41] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She frowned.*  "It's hard to forget something like that."

[12:41] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: that was to be in tandem with our own manuevers...but we were cut off...that was no solely on you

[12:41] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: not*

[12:41] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: It was still a failure. Nothing can change that.

[12:42] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Failure is a part of battle

[12:42] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: when it happens you must improvise, adapt and overcome...which we did

[12:42] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: I guess I am a horrible soldier then, nothing new there *sighs and takes another sip*

[12:43] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah.

[12:43] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I do not question your abilities as a solider...

[12:43] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "I still remember how you fainted straight away the moment you saw Aria standing at her console, though."

[12:44] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I am trying to help you deal with the realities after such a battle

[12:44] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well how...I mean...you know...I thought she was dead.

[12:44] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Don't waste your breath valkriss.

[12:44] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to her- I beg your pardon?

[12:45] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She nodded.*  "Well if you hadn't, I think everyone else in Engineering might have," *she chuckled.*

[12:45] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: I should just learn to shut up at times *Sighs deeper and takes a long sip*

[12:46] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Do not confuse my definition of victory with some flag waving pariotic fool's image of victory Ilya

[12:46] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and laughs.*

[12:47] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You weren't there the night I died and came back to life in sickbay.

[12:47] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I am trying to help you....sulking and feeling sorry for yourself over something you could not control is not helping a damn thing

[12:47] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I made someone run out sickbay screaming.

[12:47] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "That was before I came on board, I think."

[12:48] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: What do you want me to say Valrkiss? It is not helping... I am not going to lie to you.

[12:49] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Of course it is not helping...it never goes away Ilya

[12:49] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: What i am offering is way to deal with it...to live with it

[12:49] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It was.

[12:49] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That night was the end of the Iconian War.

[12:50] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: And that is?

[12:50] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Not o yield to it

[12:50] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: to yield to it*

[12:50] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Not to yield to it*

[12:50] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "I remember that.  Was just a few final exams away from graduating at the time.  I guess you could say I barely missed the war."

[12:52] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The Pilgrim didn't see too much combat while I was on board, we were busy locating these artifacts for the Admiral.

[12:52] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Artifacts?"

[12:53] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah...this one in particular called the 'Monolith'.

[12:53] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I had a unique connection to it somehow.

[12:53] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Sounds... ominous."

[12:53] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well, it ended up causing me to die, so.

[12:53] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "With good reason, then!"

[12:54] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: I lost Ark Royal... And I was not even on the bridge to do a thing for her. I failed the pilgrim. Had some vulcan torture me. I failed the pilgrim again... and whenever I am alone, have a headache or>

[12:54] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* It was an easy decision though...the use of the device was critical in the battle against the Iconians.

[12:54] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: So many lives on Earth...versus my own.

[12:54] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: > probably whnever I will see the crew of the real adagio, or accidentally bump in to a force field... those moments is all there is there. To be bloody honerst Valkriss, I am not giving in to it>

[12:55] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Well as one of those lives on Earth at the time... I definitely appreciate that."

[12:55] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: > but I am bingo on ideas how t handle it.

[12:56] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and then frowns.* The Prophets brought me into sickbay for an out of body experience. I saw...my own dead body...and Aria.

[12:56] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: They started speaking to me in their own way, like during an orb experience.

[12:57] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She frowned into her drink.*  "I've only read about those before, but I understand they can be... intense experiences."

[12:57] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well they offered me a choice...they showed me a glimpse into the Celestial Temple...or they offered to give me another chance at life.

[12:58] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, I think I can guess which one you picked, all things considered."

[12:59] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well...I saw Aria crying over me, and Valkriss trying to comfort her.

[12:59] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I...it was really difficult.

[1:00] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -turns around and pulls Ilya into a strong yet comforting hug-

[1:00] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -doesnt say a word right away just rests her forehead to Ilya's-

[1:01] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked over at Li.*  "I'm sorry.  I can't imagine experiencing something like that."

[1:01] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *holds herself against Valrkiss, burrying her face in to the klingons chest and may, or may not be crying*

[1:01] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Neither did I until then. It was a great temptation.

[1:01] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She tilted her head to the side.*  "You considered letting yourself die?"

[1:01] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -keeps her close and held tightly not saying one word-

[1:03] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Valkriss?

[1:03] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -softly- Yes?

[1:04] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: Can... we go to our room?

[1:04] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -pulls back and hlds her gaze- Of course

[1:04] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: holds*

[1:05] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *Avoids eyecontact, rubbing her eyes some*

[1:05] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yes.

[1:05] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li says after a long silence.*

[1:05] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -takes her hand and gives it a gentle squeeze- Come...

[1:06] [DOIC4] Ilya@Illuice: *follows valkriss*

[1:06] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She played with her french fries in contemplation for a moment.*  "I guess eternal respite from the crap life throws at you can be pretty damn tempting."

[1:06] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sighs.*

[1:06] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I...well, the Prophets have thrown a lot of it. At least it feels that way.

[1:07] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Some people are cursed to live more interesting lives than the rest of us," *she mused.*

[1:07] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -enters the room and stops a second and coughs to cover a chuckle-....really?

[1:08] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: what?

[1:08] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and looks over at her.* I'm glad I chose to live.

[1:08] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She looked back at him with a smile.*  "I'm glad you did, too."

[1:09] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -tries to conceal her smile some to her on a clearly unrelated matter-...well..i mean...i do not mean to smile..but ..the rug is not exactly..subtle is it?

[1:09] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* Thanks. It is...very comforting to know what lies ahead for you when the time does come.

[1:09] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: A Klingon, A cardiassian, Both in federation uniforms, on a romulan carpet in a romulan ship. Yea... subtle

[1:10] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles to her- I am so sorry...I do not mean to smile..but this is the most absurd rug ive ever seen

[1:11] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Could been cardassian.

[1:11] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Well..i i have confess something to you

[1:11] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "I suppose it would be," *she nodded, starting to pack up her sandwich and remaining fries.*  "I suppose I'm looking forward to the mystery of what'll happen to me, when the times does come anyway."

[1:11] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: I do not find Cardassian decor that displeasing

[1:11] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I do not apriciate dramatic pauses.

[1:11] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What do you believe will happen?

[1:12] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: ...

[1:12] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She shrugged.*  "I have no idea.  And that's what makes it an adventure."

[1:12] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -her smile gone- ...as you wish

[1:13] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: So lets throw out the rug then? Just do not replace it with cardassian things.

[1:13] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Don't you fear the unknown?

[1:13] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: The rug can stay...it was just...absurd to see

[1:13] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: but we are keeping the little ship! *points at the bird of pray on the table*

[1:13] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Naturally...I rather like that class

[1:13] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "If I feared the unknown, would I be in a different galaxy on a Romulan warbird?"

[1:14] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Tough..stubborn..reliable and dependable

[1:14] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: So... lets get rid of the rug then?

[1:14] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Yeah..the rug is a goner

[1:14] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: *kneels down and begins rolling up the rug*

[1:14] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: How about one with a big face of Invader Zim?

[1:15] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: No... Then I just miss Zem.

[1:15] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: One with a big face of the Bunny then?

[1:15] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* Exploring the galaxy is one thing...but the unknown fate of your soul...

[1:15] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Yea... You do realize this is your XO'y office aswell, right?

[1:15] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles- So?

[1:16] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Just thought I point it out *finishing rollign the rug*

[1:16] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Keeps them wondering....everyone always expects me to have targ skin rugs...and walls covered in bat-leths

[1:16] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Who says I even have a soul, anyway?  That could just be a Bajoran thing.  For all I know, I'd just slip into oblivion and cease to exist entirely."

[1:17] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: and of course my favorite color has to be crimson red

[1:17] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I really prefere the mek'leth

[1:17] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: As do I

[1:17] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: But i dont want my walls covred in them

[1:17] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That's...awful.

[1:18] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: My favorite colour is red.

[1:18] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks very sad at this prospect.*

[1:18] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: There is nothing wrong with red

[1:18] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Its just not my favorite color

[1:18] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Seen the bedrrom? And what is your favorite colour then? Yellow?

[1:18] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -follows her in-

[1:19] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Actually it is pink.

[1:19] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: pink is a shade of red.

[1:19] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "I'm not so sure that it is.  It's just more of an incentive, you know?  If nothing exists after I die, then that's more reason to make sure that my life counts.  That I leave my mark so that...

[1:19] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes it is

[1:19] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: someone remembers who I was and what I was capable of."

[1:19] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -stares at the clone of the rug.-

[1:19] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: ....wow

[1:20] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well I think you've already done that. But...I just can't imagine that prospect.

[1:20] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: *rolls up the rug using her feets*

[1:21] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -helps her roll up the abomination-

[1:21] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She chuckled.*  "Maybe in some small way, yeah.  But I can't imagine living forever in paradise, myself."

[1:21] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: The room needs more flowers in pretty vases

[1:22] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Id rather see disemboweled terrans and cardassians.

[1:22] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles at her.* No really, you have.

[1:22] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Well...those tend to spoil fster than the flowers

[1:22] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: And I dunno...paradise sounds pretty fun to me.

[1:22] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: and require more maintaince

[1:22] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: True

[1:23] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Then there is the smell...I prefer the flowers

[1:23] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -reaches out o embrace her again-

[1:23] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Flowers just die

[1:24] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: *hugs herself to Valkriss*

[1:24] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She smirked and rolled her eyes.*  "Fun, sure.  But I dunno.  I'd like to be able to think something like that exists for me too, but it just seems so... unrealistic."

[1:24] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I...ummm errr...

[1:24] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes another bite.*

[1:24] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -holds her tight- True...so we forgo the flowers for now....

[1:25] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She chuckled.*  "Well, anyway, I think this conversation's getting a bit too heavy.  And it's probably your bedtime, too."

[1:25] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: *places her ear over Valkriss heart and listens to it beating*

[1:26] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -said softly- What do you say ...tomorrow...going to the holodeck and blowing the hell out of some terrans and a few cardassians?

[1:26] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Inculding your vulcan

[1:26] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and smiles.* I do pray for you...to the Prophets. But you're probably right. *He yawns.*

[1:27] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She smiled to Li.*  "Well, you have the benefit of your gods being proven real more than a few times."

[1:27] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I guess... It is becomming a bit old.

[1:28] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: We will do it together...

[1:28] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That depends on who you ask about the...'wormhole aliens'.

[1:28] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I guess we could load them in to my battle of SFIHQ program...

[1:29] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Or put them in second earth war planes...

[1:29] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- we will shred them together

[1:29] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Whatever they are, they certainly have abilities advanced enough that they could be considered godlike.  Can't really blame you guys for worshipping them as such."

[1:30] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Maybe we could go to the rock sauna to?

[1:30] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: They have been more directly active in my life than many Bajorans.

[1:31] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Guess you're special," *she smirked at him.*

[1:31] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods as she lightly traces her finger over her chin- We will do whatever you wish together...there is no time limit on this Ilya...i will be here for you no matter what..no matter how long it takes

[1:32] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: The sauna sounds perfect to me

[1:32] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I hope hte holodekc budget was not spent on fancy rugs...

[1:32] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li's cheek flush a bit.* Well...uhhh...I guess.

[1:33] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks amused by this- If so..we add some romulans to your SFIHG sim

[1:34] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: What do you make of the Cardassia bombings?

[1:34] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: I find such atacks to be cowardly

[1:34] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill drained the rest of her glass and sent it back to the bartender.*  "Well, what'd you call someone who got to come back to life, hm?"

[1:35] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Yes.

[1:35] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: I am sorry

[1:35] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: For?

[1:35] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods, looking very bashful.* When I was young, I thought me being special would mean...discovering a hidden meaning in an ancient prophecy and seeing it come to life.

[1:36] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: For your world....and do I have to say the other reason? -said softly to her-

[1:36] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: It was not earth that was bombed.

[1:36] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: And yes, I am worried my parents are involved.

[1:36] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Well, an ancient monolith kind of counts, if you think about it."

[1:36] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Of course -she nods-

[1:36] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: that was why I said I am sorry

[1:37] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: I know that can not be easy for you...on top of the rest

[1:37] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It probably does, just not in the way I...envisioned it when I was that age.

[1:37] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: It is jsut the kind of cowardly action they would do!

[1:37] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: You are not them Ilya

[1:38] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She breathed a laugh.*  "When does life ever turn out the way we thought it would when we were kids?"

[1:38] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Yea... I hope so.

[1:39] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: You are your own person..as much as I am

[1:39] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: I am no more loved within what remans of my family

[1:40] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: and I am not as they

[1:40] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: You know what the sick part is? *Cuddles against valkriss*

[1:40] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm not sure it does for anyone.

[1:40] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Mhm.  Sure was a lot about this job that I didn't even consider when I was younger."

[1:40] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -cant resist as she cuddles her- I hae dramatic pauses you know -said with a warm teasing smile to her tone-

[1:41] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: hate*

[1:41] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Do you now?

[1:41] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh yes....i hear its all the rage to stand against them

[1:41] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Sure its not all teh rugs?

[1:42] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Me neither. I just took things apart.

[1:42] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- tell me then goofy...what is the truly sick part of all of this...aside from the rugs

[1:42] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Anyways... They still love me, at times they write to me.

[1:43] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "Heh, same here.  Sometimes, too, my mom would be working in some remote part of the world and I got to go with her.  Without all the lights from towns and cities, you can really see so much of the...

[1:43] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Of course they do...you are their child

[1:43] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: night sky.  I wanted so bad to be there."

[1:43] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and looks over at her.* And now you are.

[1:44] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Yea... I hope they die.

[1:45] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She smiled happily in turn.*  "It makes everything worth it to see those stars for myself."

[1:45] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -runs her fingers softly over her hair as she holds her to herself- I know...believe I understand

[1:46] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm glad. It seems like it makes you very happy.

[1:46] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I wonder if one could become a different species.

[1:47] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: "It does.  But I think I've kept you up for long enough, I should head in."

[1:48] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and stands up, walking over to Jill.*

[1:48] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She picked up the half sandwich that she'd wrapped up, getting to her feet as well.*

[1:49] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li gives Jill a hug.*

[1:49] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill blinked at the hug, but she returned it clumsily while holding her sammich.*

[1:49] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -lifts her chin- Dont do this...you are lovely who you are and what you are

[1:50] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li releases her and smiles.* Thank you for the company. I'll see you on the holodeck tomorrow?

[1:50] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Would you prefer to see me as anything but Klingon?

[1:50] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill drew in a breath and nodded, offering a smile of her own.*  "Course.  Look through the programs and pick us out something that looks good, alright?"

[1:50] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sounds good.

[1:51] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She offered a last grin before she turned for the door.*  "Good night, Li.  Tell Aria I said good night as well."

[1:51] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: ... ... *thinks for a while* I do not exactly care that you are a klingon. Sure I like that you are strong... tall...a match to spar with and warm... alright fine, Yes I do like you as a klingon!

[1:52] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I will.

[1:52] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *She headed for her quarters, munchy food for later in hand.*

[1:52] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles sofly to her- Now you now why i prefer you as a cardassian...you are lovely

[1:53] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles sofly to her- Now you now why i prefer you as a cardassian...you are lovely

[1:54] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Right...

[1:54] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -shakes her her head- Ilya...you are beautiful

[1:55] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Where?

[1:55] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Your eyes...the shape of your nose. The crinkle you get when you scowl...like right now

[1:56] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: *scowls* I do not scowl!

[1:57] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -softly- Your skin tone...your figure...you have amazing legs...every pretty groove along your neck reidges

[1:57] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: I could fall into your eyes and lose myself forever

[1:57] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Sounds unhealthy.

[1:59] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: To me it is paradise

[2:00] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: *keeps holding herslef agianst valkriss*

[2:00] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Sorry kiddo....yu are just gonna live with the fact I am in love with you and see you as special and beautiful

[2:01] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I have heared of a lot of strange kinks... and try to not judge them to hard... but finding cardassians beautiful... Even I have my limites.

[2:02] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -softly and warmly- Well...I am unique...and a dishonorable prevert back in the empire if you had not heard

[2:02] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Pervert?

[2:04] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- It is considered by some in the empire to be a dishonored...disgrace..to love who I chose to love

[2:05] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Why?

[2:06] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: To the old ways...it is only man with woman...for the good of the house....to produce and raise strong warriors to continue the cycle...the honor of providing for the battle

[2:06] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Some do not accept changes to the old traditions..easily

[2:06] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: To most of the empire..I am.without honor...a shame to my house

[2:07] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Ah... that thing... Cardassia values family a bit to much and some are really snowed in about not using medicine *sighs* Glad im not part of those bloody idiots.

[2:07] [DOIC4] Jillian@liorexus: *Jill plopped down in her quarters with her half a sandwich and her bong.*  "Computer, begin playlist 'Dower 420.'"  *The camera fades out...*

[2:07] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: As I am in my choices

[2:08] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: ... Euhmm... soo...

[2:09] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Untill... not that long ago... I just saw myself as asexual.

[2:10] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- I told you on the Ark Royale...you were stuck with me

[2:11] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Yea... I guess you where right

[2:11] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: I am always right

[2:11] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Exept when you are wrong.

[2:11] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -blnks feigning shock and disbelief- I do not ever recll such a time

[2:12] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I could enlighten you... but Reveling in your flaws is not what I wish to do *keeps huging valkriss*

[2:13] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -holds her tighty- How about we curl up...and hold eah other while watching the bunny make jerks of other bad people?

[2:14] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Maybe?

[2:14] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles softly- Did you have something else in mind then?

[2:14] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: Maaaybe?

[2:15] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -snarls some- Like ..truly haveing a reason to get rid of this romulan furniture?

[2:15] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: I would be a shame if something where to happend to it...

[2:16] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -lean into run her fangs up along her neck ridge snarling some more- It would...a frightful shame...indeed

[2:17] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: *gasps for air and closes her eyes, holding herself closer to valkriss*

[2:18] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -snags her jaw and pulls hr into a much tigher embrace, pressing her lips into a fiercely passionate savage kiss-

[2:18] [DOIC5] Ilya@Illuice: *submissively engages in the kiss with her own raw sense of passion and need*
