Protector 9/20

[9:01] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...*

[9:02] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The camera pans around the planet as the opening credits play. It shows Desiree on the planet below handling some intense negotiations. The camera pans out towards the Protector, still in orbit. It

[9:02] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: zooms in on the mess hall as the episode begins without a log...*

[9:02] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *GO*

[9:03] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus was off in the mini-holodeck, rifle in hands as he blasted away at targets in KWC.*

[9:03] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore stuffs his face in the mess hall, eating the nerves away.*

[9:03] [DOIC4] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *Niaev makes her way near the mini holodeck*

[9:04] [DOIC4] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *stops outside it to see its in use*

[9:04] [DOIC4] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *frowns*

[9:04] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus dropped into cover behind a wall, reloading as shots rang out across the battlefield, his team's flag right next to him.*

[9:05] [DOIC4] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she knocks on the door*

[9:06] [DOIC4] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I hope they aren't mid climax. *she shivers a little*

[9:06] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus frowned as he heard the knock.*  "Computer, tell whoever's out there I'm busy!"  *He leapt and rolled to the side as a grenade came flying in.*

[9:06] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara joins him at his table.*

[9:07] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Hey... how you doing?"

[9:07] [DOIC4] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *squints*

[9:08] [DOIC4] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *knocks again*

[9:08] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The computer does not respond.*

[9:08] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Well enough...and you??

[9:08] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Now forced out of his cover, Marcus was about to raise his weapon again when there was another knock.*  "Computer, tell them to wait their fucking turn!"  *He was promptly sniped by Logicalfallacy27*

[9:09] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Considering I didn't bust Blaine's jaw with a wrench, I'd say better than it could have. Still, he forgets he's just Desiree's favourite sometimes."

[9:10] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "For fuck's sake... end program."  *He went to the door as it turned back into a box, letting the door open.*  "Is the fucking ship on fire or something?"  *He snapped.*

[9:11] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Not to my knowledge. *she looked at him and scrunched her nose*

[9:12] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus eyed her.*  "Then what?"

[9:13] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she shrugs* I was looking for a place to do yoga and remembered this was here.

[9:13] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Whatever program you were running seems to have been vigourous activity.

[9:13] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus stared at her.*  "You can do yoga in your room or wait your turn, Doc."

[9:14] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It would not be as relaxing in my room as it would be on the cliffs of Tarkan IV

[9:14] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And that's my problem how?  It's my turn on the holodeck."

[9:14] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Favorite?

[9:15] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: We could run the program together. *she smiles* You have been rather tense lately.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --is busy on teh bridge, monitoring the situation on the ground--

[9:15] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Duh. Have you not noticed the silver spoon stuck in his mouth?"

[9:16] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus gave her a look.*  "I have my own, very effective ways of working off my tension."

[9:17] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she cants her head to the side a little* What might that be?

[9:18] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Ezri's beta watch minions are working dutifully.*

[9:18] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "KWC deathmatch.  I don't find stretching quite as helpful."

[9:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] No?

[9:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --yawns loudly--

[9:19] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Well, let me give you the summary. She's clearly grooming him for leadership, he's clearly let it go to his head, even if he has a -long- way to go till he's anywhere near her level."

[9:19] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I would think getting shot at for real might have salved that urge. Yoga is not just about stretching its also about breathing.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks at the chronometer then sighs-- "I suppose I should go get something to eat."

[9:20] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she rolls her neck from side ot side and stretches her arms behind her*

[9:21] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He rubbed his temple.*  "It's different.  Look, just take the damn holodeck, the match is probably over by now anyway."  *He went to step out.*

[9:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns to her beta watch minions.-- "Keep a lock on ma'am Desiree. I case she gets into trouble. I have sensors set up to track her."

[9:23] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she touched his shoulder* Mr Blaine. Where is your sense of adventure?

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A chorus of yes ma'ams are heard.*

[9:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --yawns again, before heading off the bridge.--

[9:23] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I haven't exactly seen this up close like you have.

[9:24] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He ground his teeth some.*  "I just want to be alone right now, Doc."  *He shrugged her hand off and started for the door.*

[9:24] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she fronws*

[9:24] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Very well. Mr Blaine.

[9:24] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus escaped into the hall.*

[9:24] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You can kina see it on the bridge feed."

[9:25] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she started the program*

[9:25] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "But anyways... I can't help but feel we're just wasting time, and the ship down there's dying."

[9:25] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri shuffles into the mess hall reading from a PADD.--

[9:25] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she looks out on the cliffs and takes position on the rock overlooking the waters below*

[9:26] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Miss Clerie is down there, I'm sure she's handling it.

[9:26] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she approaches the replicator and orders some toast with strawberry jam and some Jumja tea.--

[9:27] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she started some music*

[9:27] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *A wild Marcus appeared, heading for the replicator and ordering a synthale.*

[9:27] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she frowned* Fvadt.

[9:27] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea. I trust her, it's just this bad feeling in my gut."

[9:28] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -gets out of the shower and after toweling off changes into her off duty clothing to go eat-

[9:29] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she takes a seat at an empty table, and once again starts reading from her PADD--

[9:29] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He headed over to an empty table to sulk with his synthale in peace.*

[9:29] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sips her tea slowly, taking a bite of toast.--

[9:29] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she sighed*

[9:30] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: That damn hevam.

[9:31] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she tries to center herself again*

[9:31] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy follows her out.*

[9:31] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: --to Cathy as they walk- Any word from Desiree yet on her progress?

[9:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes...she appears to have allowed for medical personnel to access the creature.

[9:33] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *lets out a small growl* Why does he have to be so difficult....

[9:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy bites her lip as she sees what she is wearing.*

[9:33] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] You humans and your 'gut'.

[9:34] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: 'You cannot deny my gut works right 95% of the time. The other 5%, I get electrocuted."

[9:34] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods as they walk- and the status of the ship?

[9:34] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she sighs and stands up*

[9:35] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Fvad.

[9:35] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: End program.

[9:35] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They believe the damage is not life threatening.

[9:35] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she left and made her way to the mess*

[9:35] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: So Wildfire will continue to exsist?

[9:36] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Wildfire?

[9:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] That can kill you, you know.

[9:36] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -enters the turbolift and waits for her- Yes, the name of the being

[9:37] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *enters the mess and walks over to the replicator replicating a water based drink*

[9:37] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "So can everything else. "If you're fated to drown, you'll never die in a fire", my granma used to ssay."

[9:37] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus looked at his PADD as he downed his synthale.*

[9:37] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she takes it and moves to sit down near tegan*

[9:37] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Who decided it was 'Wildfire'?

[9:37] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Hello ms Tegan can I sit?

[9:38] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Ezri and I -said plaonly-

[9:38] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -to the computer- Mess hall

[9:38] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks up from her reading momentarily to look at T'Lana.- "Sure."

[9:38] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she immediatly buried her nose on the PADD again.--

[9:38] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she sips* What are you reading?

[9:39] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -eyes her some- You find the name disagreeable?

[9:39] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks up at T'Lena again.-- "I am studying."

[9:39] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No...just...unorthodox?

[9:39] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Elaborate?

[9:39] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Where the Prophets lead, I will walk.

[9:40] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It is not a typical name?

[9:40] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: What are you studying?

[9:40] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she sips her drink and looks over at blaine a moment*

[9:41] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore chuckled, devouring another chicken wing.* "Yea... same idea."

[9:41] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire in an area of combustible vegetation occurring in rural areas.

[9:41] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Not unlike what occured upon its rather unorthodox 'landing'

[9:41] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Starfleet rules and regulations. I am going to try and get my department head certification, so I can be more than and acting department head."

[9:42] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That is true.

[9:42] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: How can you act as a department head if you are fulfilling the duties.

[9:43] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- It was as good as a nomenclature as any...and it seemed to be one that pleased Ezri and /annoyed/ Marcus

[9:43] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: So...it was a logical choice

[9:43] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Bore seemed to agree as well.

[9:44] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It would seem you are already doing the job.

[9:44] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It is your goal to annoy our chief of security?

[9:44] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she sips her drink*

[9:45] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it is just a title. I just so happen to be the highest ranking officer in the department. But, technically since I do not have a department head certification I can no officially be listed as the ...

[9:45] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Not as any acceptable primry goal, no.

[9:45] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: head of the department, only as an acting department head...presumably until someone more qualified comes along."

[9:45] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: primary*

[9:46] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yet it was a logical choice because it annoyed him.

[9:46] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -ponders this a moment-

[9:46] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps it is best to call it a ..fortuitous side effect?

[9:46] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: So what regulations are requiring more study?

[9:47] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I see no difference.

[9:48] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Truly? You fail to see the difference between a primary life goal and a foritious side effect stemming from an unrelated emotional side effect?

[9:48] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs.-- "I am not really sure what will be on the test."

[9:49] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Either way it appears to be something that pleases you.

[9:49] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I may already know all of it. But, I just want to be sure."

[9:49] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: I see no reason to insult me Catherine -huffs some-

[9:49] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Eventually I may even go to command school."

[9:49] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Good to have goals.

[9:49] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy giggles.*

[9:49] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: You want to command a ship?

[9:50] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --nods at T'lena.--

[9:50] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He finished off his synthale before returning to the replicator for a refill and a gigantic roast beef sandwich.*

[9:50] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Why?

[9:50] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I think I would be a good captain."

[9:50] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -leans over as the turbolift stops and steals a quick kiss afters she adds- Just know you barely deserve that after such an insult

[9:51] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles at the trill* What makes a good captain?

[9:51] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blushes.* T-thank you...

[9:51] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --stares at T'Lena blankly--

[9:51] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Shall we? -steps out into the corridor-

[9:52] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He took his food and drink back to his loner table.*

[9:52] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Okay, I guess I don't really know that I would be a good at it. But, I still want to try."

[9:52] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Of course. *She returns to a more neutral expression.*

[9:53] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I suppose science is not a common command track career choice."

[9:53] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: So do you believe that blush will be gone prior to our arrival in the mess hall?

[9:53] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Usually scientist find their calling in their field.

[9:53] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] O-of course...why do you ask?

[9:53] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: But its not unheard of for scientist to become captains.

[9:54] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Merely out of ...curiousity of course

[9:54] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "This would be a long term goal anyway."

[9:54] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Short term is department head?

[9:54] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I will be fine.

[9:54] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once-

[9:55] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Department head certification is an immediate goal. And, I still have to restore ma'am Desiree's trust in me."

[9:55] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -enters the mess hall beside catherine and moves to the replicator- What will you have?

[9:55] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sips her tea.--

[9:55] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she looks at her drinking wishing it was something much stronger*

[9:56] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: You aren't alone in that task Ms Tegan.

[9:56] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Gives Cathy and V'T a wave.*

[9:56] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I feel alone."

[9:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -essays a wave back to Bore-

[9:56] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she eyes blaine a moment* On a ship this size Ezri we are never really alone.

[9:56] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --glances over at V'Tira and Cathy as they enter.--

[9:56] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] A simple Earth pasta.

[9:57] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus caught sight of what V'Tira was wearing and started coughing a little on his sandwich.*

[9:57] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs at T'Lena-- "I have a unique gift for ending up alone anywhere."

[9:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow but nods and orders- fettuccine alfredo, ice water and three oatmeal raisen cookies

[9:58] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --munches her toast and strawberry jam.--

[9:58] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *her lips have a slight downward curl* I don't think you are as alone as you think you are.

[9:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -collects her order and waits for Cathy-

[9:59] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --smiles at that.-- "that is good to know."

[9:59] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: So do you have any hobbies?

[10:00] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh yeah, I have a lot of hobbies."

[10:00] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I am sure there are some people on the crew that share them.

[10:01] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy collects her own order of pasta and iced tea.*

[10:01] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Choose us a table -nods to her-

[10:02] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: -activates the holo-emitter on her wrist and a holo-tribble appears on the table.-- "I doubt it, besides most of my hobbies are pretty solitary."

[10:02] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --pets her little holo-tribble.--

[10:04] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Ok name one.

[10:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -follows behind catherine-

[10:04] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "...a hobby?"

[10:04] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy sits down at the table.* Hello Mister Ristovski.

[10:04] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Hey, you two." *Motions to Kara.* "You know each other?"

[10:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -and slips easily into her seat,setting down her tray and crossing her legs-

[10:04] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Looking great, V'Tira."

[10:04] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Duh.

[10:05] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Yes?

[10:05] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she sips the water*

[10:05] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I had to ask, Kara, it's my job as acting department head to make sure you're sociable." *Grins*

[10:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Why thank you Bore and Yes we have met, how are you tonight Kara?

[10:06] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I am well, and you?

[10:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -dips an oatmeal cookie into her alfredo sauce and takes a delicate bite-

[10:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I am quite agreeable as always, and you Bore?

[10:06] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Stoically looks away from V'Tira's eating habits.*

[10:07] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Y'know. A bit tired and on edge after the whole Wildfire thing, basically waiting for news."

[10:07] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "... I like to play the Trill piano, do artificial intelligence research, and go rock climbing...but, I guess you said only one...sorry.."

[10:07] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Wildfire is stable...for now

[10:07] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Piano.

[10:07] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: There is something that can easily involve more than one person.

[10:07] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "That is good to hear... but we need to heal it and find a way to pull it out."

[10:07] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Desire is as well, negoations have resumed

[10:08] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Good, I believe in her."

[10:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We were in the procress of such...but were rudely interupted

[10:08] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "not really, realistically only one person can play the piano at any given time."

[10:08] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That is the nature of an unstable diplomatic situation.

[10:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: ...perhaps

[10:09] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she laughs* Yeah, but I can sing, so you could play and I could sing.

[10:09] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I suppose so."

[10:09] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -takes another delicate bite from her cookie-

[10:09] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Do you have a practice one here?

[10:09] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am not particualy comfortable playing in front of other people."

[10:10] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: No one ever is. Neither am I.

[10:10] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I dunno. I still think we could have done more."

[10:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I quite agree

[10:10] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I always pick one person in the crowd.

[10:10] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: And play for them.

[10:10] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I have an electronic one that rolls up for easy storage."

[10:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Considering the crashsite was eventually secured

[10:10] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well sing for them. *She smiles*

[10:11] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It was?"

[10:11] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "..it is hard to forget the rest of the crowd is there."

[10:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Indeed...i attempted to report such while we were aboard the Athena

[10:12] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Such did not reach me."

[10:12] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: It was deemed...not secured enough

[10:12] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Not if you close your eyes.

[10:12] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Or practice. I still remember the first time my friend Lisa had me sing infront of people.

[10:12] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "Sure, I can play with my eyes closed. Then I can go to my happy place..."

[10:13] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It was protocol.

[10:13] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I still had a pretty heavy romulan accent that I tried to hide when speaking basic.

[10:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: ....that is one word for it, yes

[10:13] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Not secured -enough-?"

[10:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed -to Bore-

[10:14] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Until I learned english anyway.

[10:14] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "So, how's that a thing? It returned to no shots being fired?"

[10:14] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "That should have ben good enough for us to continue working."

[10:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: How else was the ship stablized were the shots made to cease?

[10:14] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --munches her toast.--

[10:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not disagree Bore

[10:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -munches another delicate bite of her cookie-

[10:15] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I did what I could to make sure Wildfire gets enough UV light. Did a quick on-the-move modification to some mining satellites."

[10:15] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: What is your favorite song to play?

[10:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...as i understand it, it surely played a role in Wildfire's recovery

[10:17] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He eyed his glass of synthale as it once more turned up empty.*

[10:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We simply did what little we could from the...safety of orbit

[10:17] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I hope so... I went with my gut. Even if some do not approve of such." *Eyes Kara.*

[10:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Kara at this-

[10:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] It is a silly turn of phrase!

[10:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You do not trust in Bore's gut Kara?

[10:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I do not believe in 'guts'.

[10:18] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Us humans can sometimes be silly, but the gut is to be trusted."

[10:18] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "So you don't believe in anatomy?"

[10:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Beat me by half a heartbeat

[10:19] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Your gut is not sentient.

[10:19] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Grins to V'T.* "About time someone did."

[10:19] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles awaiting Ezri's answer*

[10:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at that-

[10:20] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, it's not, but... I dunno. Think of it like a betazoid's telepathy.""

[10:20] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He got up, tossing his leftovers in the replicator and heading out to his quarters.*

[10:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe the term is more a metaphor Kara....to have guts is als to show...courage

[10:20] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *watches him leave*

[10:20] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *sighs*

[10:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy frowns as she observes Marcus, getting up from her chair.*

[10:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Or to demonstrate resolve

[10:21] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't have a favorite song. I am pretty go with many classical Trill and human pieces. But, mostly I like to make up the music as I go."

[10:21] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Cathy-Catherine?

[10:21] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: A jazz musician at heart then.

[10:22] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Looks up to Cathy too.* "Somethin' we said?"

[10:22] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I like jazz."

[10:22] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she laughs* Lisa's friend Bigs use to always say, Jazz was for musicians that could never make up their mind.

[10:22] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I liek singing it.

[10:22] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No...I will be back.

[10:23] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Looks to V'T.* "Maybe she's worried about Desiree..."

[10:23] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He sprinkled a pinch of nutrients into the water lily's pot before going to rummage through his booze chest.*

[10:24] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy buzzes Marcus's door.*

[10:24] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He glanced up, standing up straight and closing the lid.*  "Who is it?"

[10:24] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious she reported Desiree was secured an safe  currently. So i doubt that is it

[10:25] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "So where did you learn to sing?"

[10:25] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: When i was very young. My mother use to sing to me and then when I sang with her, she encouraged it.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Hrm. Well, I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure she's alright... Anyways... seriously?" *Pointed to the cookies and alfredo sauce.* "I know a guy who'd kill you if he saw that. Nadine probably would >

[10:25] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Too."

[10:26] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Lieutenant Baker.

[10:26] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He rubbed his beard a moment.*  "Come in, Lieutenant."

[10:26] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: My mother was a early studies teacher.

[10:26] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -dips her cookie back into her sauce and pauses- Elaborate?

[10:26] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "what is an early studies teacher. The kind that only teaches classes in the  morning?"

[10:27] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Teaches children.

[10:27] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh. I see."

[10:27] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Nadine would be mad you're "Ruining" her ancestors' food. T'Ghor would be mad you are "Ruining" his second home's food... but me... I wanna try? Can I?"

[10:28] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Yeah on ch'Rihan we aonly really had Arias and Chamber Songs.

[10:28] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -offers him a cookie- I fail to see how this is to ruin the entree...-delicately munches on her cookie again-

[10:28] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: But please indulge

[10:28] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: But after... well I didn't really have a reason to sing for a long time until Lisa got me drunk and took me to some human thing called karoake.

[10:29] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You'd be surprised about some human ideas bout food..." *Takes a cookie, and carefully dips it into the Alfredo.* "Thanks." *He took a bite out, curiously.*

[10:29] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Lieutenant, am I disturbing yhou?

[10:29] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: And then that became a thing, once she heard I could sing she was always finding me things to sing.

[10:29] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -waits for his assessment-

[10:30] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shook his head.*  "No, just got here.  Did you need something?"

[10:30] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "..what is this kareoke?"

[10:30] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He chewed, a look of intigue on his face, seemingly in deep evaluation of what he was eating. Once he was done, he nodded approvingly.* "Y'know. I thought it'd be horrible, but it's not bad at all. >

[10:30] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "sounds maybe Ferengi..."

[10:30] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Basically its for friends to drink and sing songs, Quality of performance doesn't matter.

[10:30] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "More of an acquired taste, I guess, but I can see why one could like it... how'd you even learn to combine these things?"

[10:30] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed, I find the taste to be most agreeable.

[10:31] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "the words sounds Ferengi but the practice sounds Klingon."

[10:31] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: There is a machine back on the citadel. But you can really do it anywhere you ahve a PADD for lyrics.

[10:31] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I just wanted to check on your current well being.

[10:31] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I noticed that Humans believe that such things like cookies should be 'dunked' into something to accent their taste

[10:31] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes. Usually, however, that something is milk. Sometimes peanut butter."

[10:31] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: here. *she scans on her padd*

[10:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Such as chocolate chip cookies into cold cow's milk....so i began to experiment

[10:32] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "...sounds embarrassing."

[10:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...as I said i began to experiment

[10:32] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shook his head, going back over to the booze chest.*  "I'm fine.  Just... anxious about everything that's happening, about being in command while Clerie's on the surface... maybe a little...

[10:32] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I see... I mean, it's... creative?"

[10:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: There can be no discovery with out experimentaion

[10:32] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "..can you do kareoke with the piano?"

[10:32] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: frustrated over some of the crew's reactions to my command decisions."

[10:33] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea, but sometimes, it leads to disasters. Though this worked out nicely."

[10:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] May I speak freely?

[10:33] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: -pets her holotribble.--

[10:33] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Yes. I mean if you play it I could sing.

[10:33] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Or you could just play along with a backup track.

[10:34] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We're hardly on the bridge, tell me I'm full of it as much as you'd like.  Care for some Aldebaran whiskey?"

[10:34] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "that could be fun. I guess."

[10:34] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I truly doubt i would discovery a fatal combination with my cookie experimentations...thee risk is minimal

[10:34] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I mostly just play to relax."

[10:34] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sighs a little.--

[10:35] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles* And look you never start out great. *she plays a video for ezri* Listen to my accent here. This was one that Lisa recorded without my knowledge.

[10:35] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "No. But it could still lead to quite some unpleasantness. At least you ain't dipping it in garlic sauce, Catherine would refuse you kisses until you brush your teeth."

[10:35] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVEDG5xwD9M  ))

[10:35] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -twirls her fork in her pasta and has a bite of her food-

[10:35] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: This recording has to be... *laughs* almost 25 years old.

[10:36] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Yes...i suspected as much in regards to garlic given its potency

[10:36] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Certainly.

[10:36] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He uncorked the bottle of green liquid, pouring them each a small glass and handing one off to Baker.*

[10:36] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that seems alright..."

[10:37] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Thank you.

[10:37] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea... So here's a question for you. Why is Desiree so fixated on making a true leader out of Blaine?"

[10:37] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I could do it much better now, *she smiles* Ironically the lyrics might be more fitting now.

[10:37] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Any time.  So what is it?"

[10:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- He is a dedicated decortsted officer who has the qualifications for such a position of authority on a ship of this class

[10:38] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she cringes when it picks up a little* Oh right I didn't know this was coming.

[10:38] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Well, that doesn't sound like a rehearsed answer at all." *Grins.*

[10:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Much like yourself, did he not prove this on the surface of Xert?

[10:39] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "He did. I just worry she lets him have too much leeway, lets him take the lead on too many missions, and it's getting to his head."

[10:39] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I do not think being anti-social will help the situation.

[10:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I am naturally and understandably defensive of Desiree's decision making process given the nature of physical and emotional realationsjip

[10:39] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[10:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- I see...gets to his head?

[10:40] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sips her tea and pets her holotribble.--

[10:40] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You know. That "I know better than you" air he has around him so often lately?"

[10:40] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I mainly sang gaelic music after that and then Jazz because it was fun.

[10:40] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -spontaniously throws a oatmeal raisen cookie over to Ezri-

[10:40] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Nothing like making everyone in the room watch you as you sing Fever.

[10:41] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -ponders this a moment after the cookie toss-

[10:41] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --is smacked in the head with an oatmeal raisin cookie.-- "ow!"

[10:41] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Blinks.* "Don't throw stuff at Ezri!"

[10:41] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I am offering her a cookie

[10:41] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "No, it won't.  But I just don't really feel like talking with anyone when I'm in this mood."

[10:41] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *laughs* It would seem we have incoming.

[10:42] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You could have... I dunno? Stood up and walked to her?" *Chuckles.*

[10:42] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --holds the cookie in her hand-- "it looks like a cookie."

[10:42] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: She is a klingon warrior in training...i expeted her to catch it

[10:42] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *has a spark of mischeif in her eye*

[10:42] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Even warriors need to rest, let the poor thing be." *He grins.*

[10:42] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Is it, or is it a challenge?

[10:43] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -considers this- As you wish

[10:43] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --nibbles on the cookie-- "yeah, it is a cookie."

[10:43] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *chuckles* And so it is.

[10:43] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] A leader sometimes must put on a face and attitude that is not their own for the good of the crew.

[10:43] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Watches Ezri nibbling.* "Awww. She's just adorable."

[10:44] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Yes Ezri is special

[10:44] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -has some more of her pasta-

[10:44] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Very. Has some lovely ideas too."

[10:44] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *before she could stop the auto playlist a different song starts on her padd*

[10:44] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...she is ..highly imaginative

[10:44] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "You have a lot of songs on you device."

[10:44] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I am curious about something?

[10:45] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb8AGuD2uOI ))

[10:45] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea. We are the t... oh? Ask away?"

[10:45] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Oh those are mostly ones of me.

[10:45] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't have any recordings of me playing."

[10:45] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she then hears the song and clinches her teeth*

[10:45] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: As you can see I got better.

[10:45] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I'm something of a wretched actor," *he gave a slight huff of a laugh.*  "I don't know.  My choices there were sitting with Ristovski who's been acting like a jackass since we met Nyzaria's people...

[10:45] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Has marcus' elevation to such an authority postion affected your male bonding? Do you now feel somewhat emascualted?

[10:45] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "my mom does though."

[10:46] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she bites a lip*

[10:46] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Perhaps you should speak with him about what happened down there?

[10:46] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Away from the job? No. On the job? Yes. I want to tell him when he's being an idiot and to get a hold of himself, but all the rules and regulations absolutely immobilize me, y'know?"

[10:47] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: and V'Tira who's been even more of an absolute brat than usual - no offense - or sit with Ezri, who I'm fairly certain is criminally insane and the doctor that... I won't even get into that."  *He...

[10:47] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "You seem good at singing. You have no formal training though?"

[10:47] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: So you now resnt beig reduce to the 'beta male' role? cucked by the regulations of position?

[10:47] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Only what I did on ch'Rihan when i was about 11.

[10:47] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: shook his head.*  "We had a talk about it, but it seems every time I'm in command he has to have a pissing contest with me."

[10:48] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "singing class?"

[10:48] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: A *she chokes up a little* A private tutor.

[10:48] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh, yeah I took private lessons too."

[10:48] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He chuckled at V'tira's peculiar wording.* "No. I do not mind it, if the one in command makes the right decisions. He... I disagree with him quite heavily on some points. He can be really... passive>

[10:49] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "And take out the agression that causes him on us. I don't approve."

[10:49] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: So you deem him a ..bully then?

[10:49] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "one of many special schools and tutors my parents made me go to."

[10:49] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I would argue the working relationship between who is in command and who is in engineering is vital in a critical scenario.

[10:50] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she she sniffles a little and wipes a tear from her eye*

[10:50] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If you do not wish to work on the others, that is fine, but I think that one is worth trying to sort out.

[10:50] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: 'Hrm... Not as much a bully as someone who's in way too deep, too early, perhaps?"

[10:50] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at T'lena-- "it is not that bad, I actually enjoyed the piano lessons."

[10:50] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I see...so in your opion he is not yet ready for command? Have you brought these conerns up to Desiree?

[10:50] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It is, but if he's just going to be an idiot who clearly doesn't understand my calls or take the time to stop and maybe -think- about what I'm doing..."  *He shook his head.*

[10:51] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: No Ezri it wasn' that, The song, I recorded that one for my husband. He was delivered it by error as part of a will in the event of my death. It.. well nevermind. So how long did you take lessons.

[10:51] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Honestly I wish I could just beat him up in the cargo bay..."  *He sipped his drink.*

[10:52] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Well, I trust her jugement. I'm trying to see what she is, but I just can't."

[10:52] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *the playlist picks up again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBSqQPP4aVM ))

[10:53] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "He's like... her polar opposite. When she takes on issues head-on, and lets the brunt of the consequences hit her, he just... does nothing."

[10:53] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I do not think that would be wise, but perhaps some form of...competition would be good for you both.

[10:53] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh, sorry. Anyway I took lessons for a good seven, maybe eight years I guess. My parents put a lot of time and resources to get me into the symbiosis program."

[10:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: He did not act as such on Xert

[10:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I am sure you can recall such...

[10:53] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes. But now he is acting like that."

[10:54] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she coves her mouth a moment*

[10:54] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "So now, it is an issue."

[10:54] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If he manages to land punches..."  *He smirked slightly.*

[10:54] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I see...so when exactly did you first notice this overall change in him?

[10:54] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It does not have to be punching! *Cathy sighs, exasperated.* Men...

[10:54] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *quiet* I had forgot about this one...

[10:54] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Bout the time we went down to Nyzaria's planet."

[10:55] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Why there?

[10:55] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well kicks are generally off-limits."

[10:55] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "He was content to do nothing but let his dick do the thinking, while everyone else tried to figure out ways to fix the situation. And he shuted at us for it."

[10:55] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks over at the PADD then to T'lena...are you sure you enjoy music. It seems to makes you more sad than anything."

[10:55] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: True

[10:55] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It's been downhill from there. You know better than anyone what a dick he is on the bridge."

[10:56] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Must it be physically hurting each other? Are there not other contests?

[10:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: But then that was a most usual situation..and did not require such primitive insticts as those that fvor marcu' skillset

[10:56] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Maybe you like to cry?"

[10:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: There was little to scrutinie nor shoot there

[10:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: scrutinize*

[10:56] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: This one was recorded for Lisa. *she wipes her eyes* as a Euology.

[10:56] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "My skillset is little different. Yet I tried."

[10:57] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh..wait who is Lisa?"

[10:57] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "None that make me feel better about it..."  *He drained his glass.*

[10:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Your skillset was productive on such a scenario..or your observations were

[10:57] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: An old friend, my roommate at starfleet medical. She was murdered by klingons when they destroyed her hospital ship.

[10:57] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I really doubt that. But thanks."

[10:57] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy shakes her head.*

[10:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: And ..he was distracted by those other officers who were to be put to death and by his native contact

[10:58] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Point was, I tried. He didn't care. He just wanted his dick wet, and we were the assholes for questioning him."

[10:58] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh, wow. I can make a few calls if you want someone to go get revenge."

[10:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Such callous terminoogly again....Bore were you jealus he was able to lay phsycially withthe priestess and not you?

[10:59] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I'm kidding, I'm not going to beat him up unless he throws the first punch."  *He ran a hand through his hair.*  "What would you suggest?"

[10:59] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she shakes her head* The ones that did it are likely dead as well or may have ended up on my operating table and I saved them. Ms Tegan war isn't clean.

[10:59] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "No. I am angry he put that in front of his crew."

[10:59] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Most of all, I am angry he subverted my expectations for him."

[10:59] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Is there a sport you enjoy?

[10:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: May I make a personal inquiry then?

[10:59] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: And Lisa was a healer, she wouldn't want anyone taking revenge for her.

[10:59] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "After Xert, I believed in him, like Desiree still does, and he went out of his way to do everything possible to prove me wrong. "

[10:59] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Sure, war usually sucks. But, I am not sure it is considered murder if the killing happens in war."

[11:00] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Make it, then."

[11:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: May I make a personal inquiry then?

[11:00] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Hospital ships are not targets.

[11:00] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Make it, then."

[11:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Are you physiclly attracted to your friend?

[11:00] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "what sort of honorless Targ attacks a hospital ship?"\

[11:00] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Nope."

[11:01] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shrugged.*  "Never was into them.  Probably because back in the day our only sport was 'kick the shit out of the rival gang kids.'"

[11:01] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- So it is ...he did not live up to your expectations?

[11:01] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: The same kind that commit ritual suicide for treatable injuries.

[11:01] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It is not as much as not living up to them, as it is he took a big, steaming crap on them."

[11:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -a softer tone- Have you spoken to him about this?

[11:02] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What about some sort of game?

[11:02] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "No. No I have not. It would be pointless."

[11:02] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Not sure a game is what I need here."  *He went to refill his cup.*

[11:02] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I spoke to him after Nyzaria's planet. Changed nothing."

[11:03] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- How so? If he does not understand how he has upset you...or dissapointed you..how can he correct such?

[11:03] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "They sound more like bIHnuch"

[11:03] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Wait...have you or have you not?

[11:03] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I did not speak to him that I had expectations for him. I just told him what made me act the hostile way I did down on Nyzaria's world."

[11:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: And his response was?

[11:04] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Basically, one of understanding. And I guess he really did understand, seeing he has not tried to fuck Wildfire yet, and abandon us for it."

[11:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: No....I believe his true concern at that moment was for all intents and purpose s the polar opposite

[11:06] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Something competitive! What about...that Klingon thing?

[11:06] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes. But there is still the issue of passiveness."

[11:06] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I've known many klingons. There are far more cowards among them hiding behind false honor than there are truly honorabl ones.

[11:06] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Like any population there is variance.

[11:06] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Klingon thing?  Isn't that basically just whacking each other with bat'leths anyway?"

[11:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Elaborat please?

[11:06] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Or maybe I am putting my expctations too high by wanting another Desiree..."

[11:07] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Vry few can reachher standards

[11:07] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I suppose honor, like a lot of things in life it pretty subjective."

[11:07] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "He does not take action to -solve- the problem. He prefers to stand aside and let it solve itself."

[11:07] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Klingon...Warrior...Crush?

[11:07] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I am sure that the klingon that fired on the Mercy though it was a federation ship planning to destroy them. Atleast I hope so, I'd rather it have been a mistake than an intentional warcrime.

[11:07] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Yet he did not act in such a way at the crash site

[11:07] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Oh, right..."  *He rubbed his bearded chin.*  "Maybe.  Then I could at least pretend-shoot him."

[11:08] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Just like a federation inteligence mistake that lead to an orbital strike on a school on Lorana VII.

[11:08] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "He did. There were a number of ways he could have solved that. Have us beam up, have a ship fire a stun beam at all them frogs and toads, and none would have been the wiser. They'd have woken up in >

[11:08] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Either way it is terrible. I am sorry for your loss."

[11:09] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yeah!

[11:09] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "A few hours from a nice nap. Or he could have at least formed a defensive perimeter around the ship and you."

[11:09] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "see this is why I don't like war."

[11:09] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she nods* You'd have liked her.

[11:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes...i do not disagree...however we have the luxury to review the situation here in the safety of the mess hall yes? He had a split second to make such a call while underfire and he did act in the

[11:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: overall best interests in those placed under his command did he not?

[11:10] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It's not a bad idea."  *He rolled his shoulders.*  "Yeah.  Guess it couldn't hurt."

[11:10] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I proabably would have, but I am a people person."

[11:11] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "We were not in such grave danger. We've done worse. Xert, for example."

[11:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Weapons of any type can kill in an instant

[11:11] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *She smiles* Definitely not a monkey person though. Though neither are preacher's delta unit i think.

[11:11] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles.* That's the spirit.

[11:11] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she chuckles changing the subject to something lighthearted*

[11:11] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "Blaine to Ristovski."

[11:12] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Danger to one in command must be weighed in a moments....-stops-

[11:12] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Speak of the devil..." =^= "Yes?"

[11:12] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "hey those monkeys started it!"

[11:12] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "You and me on the holodeck, KWC one-on-one deathmatch, ten minutes?"

[11:12] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I saw it.

[11:12] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at this-

[11:12] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "..stupid monkeys..."

[11:12] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Done."

[11:13] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It was a cooardinated attack on the fat delta's cooler.

[11:13] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: =/\= "See you there."  *He ended the call.*

[11:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Aww your friend missed you

[11:13] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I tried to stop themm...and just got in trouble."

[11:13] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Or maybe he's as frustrated as I am and wants to axe me in the face."

[11:13] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked to Baker.*  "Thanks, Lieutenant.  We'll see how this goes."

[11:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nod- Go...go  play wih your friend, you will feel better

[11:14] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Measured response Ms Tegan.

[11:14] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks. I'll see you around." *He very obviously went for a flick of the tip of her ear, but ended up just poking it with his finger, before walking off.*

[11:15] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I did my best.

[11:15] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "What? a wide angle burst from orbit using a phaser on stun is a measured response."

[11:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -barely stiffles a smile and squirms some at that touch over her ear-

[11:15] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He put his glass down and headed out toward the cargo bay.*

[11:15] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *laughs*

[11:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -returns to her meal after clearng her throat and composing herself-

[11:15] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Laughs and heads off.*

[11:15] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sighs--

[11:15] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Lets go talk to V'tira.

[11:16] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I need another drink anyway.

[11:16] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she orders a fauxhito*

[11:16] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --grabs her stuff and transports it over to V'Tira's table.--

[11:16] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus got into the mini-holodeck, putting the KWC program on and choosing his weapons and armour.*

[11:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -offers Ezri another cookie as she joins her and one to T'Lena-

[11:17] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *sits down* Thank you V'tira. *she takes the cookie*

[11:17] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --gratefully accepts the cookie-- "thanks V'Tira."

[11:17] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Heads in not long after, taking an armour.* "Sup. Any rules on the weapons?"

[11:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You are welcome..both of you

[11:17] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Nope."  *He changed some settings on his beam rifle.*

[11:17] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --pets her holotribble.--

[11:18] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles and sips the fake mohito*

[11:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -calls up something on her padd and scrolls through her options-

[11:18] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore thought a bit, then ended up with a Vaadwaur assault cannon, and a plsma compression pistol at his hip.* "Ready."

[11:18] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --the tribble cooes. Ezri looks at it.-- "You can't eat cookies, you are a hologram."

[11:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Tribble] Coooooo.

[11:19] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Holotribble

[11:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You feed the Holotribble cookies?

[11:19] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --pets the tribble.-- "Don't sass me."

[11:19] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus placed an energy blade at his side and a simple phaser at his other.*  "Computer, begin program," *he called, getting into position.*

[11:19] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "V'Tira holograms don't eat."

[11:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Are you so certain?

[11:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It is logical to assume.

[11:20] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Got into the marked position as well, waiting for the cuntdown.8

[11:20] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I know of atleast one that does.

[11:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...-her tone softer- Welcome back Catherine

[11:20] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns at V'Tira.-- "yes V'Tira i am sure."

[11:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Why would they be unable?

[11:21] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "because I never designed that fucntion for him."

[11:21] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: The holoprogam can easily break down and recycle the replicated food

[11:21] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Ahh fair to point then

[11:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Thank you.

[11:21] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Computer] 5...

[11:21] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *smiles at baker*

[11:22] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "maybe I will look into building in that sort of functionality later."

[11:22] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she flips her padd to something other than the playlist of feels*

[11:22] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --pets the tribble-- "if you are good."

[11:23] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *As soon as the countdown finished Marcus dashed off toward a hill of scrap metal near his spawn location, climbing up and unslinging his rifle to watch for movement from Bore's side.*

[11:23] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -enters her choice and returns to her meal- All went well catherine?

[11:24] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore just tried to use his superior firepower, staying close to a half-ruined wall, in case he needed cover, unloading shots from his cannon in the direction Blaine ran for.*

[11:25] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sips her tea.--

[11:25] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As the countdown completes, the miniholodeck transforms into...*

[11:25] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: So... *She cuts the silence*

[11:26] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Buttons

[11:26] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a2/b9/a4/a2b9a4ffcdc837ce7d98e88526672626.png*

[11:26] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Word association?

[11:26] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Is that not what you desired?

[11:26] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It was unexpected.

[11:26] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus paused a bit as he realised he was standing on a pile of gumdrops.*  "What the fuck?"

[11:27] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I... dunno?" *He stopped shooting, knocking on the gingerbread wall with a knuckle.* "Awesome."

[11:27] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *As soon as Bore stopped shooting, Marcus would pop up from behind the top of the gumdrop pile to fire candy canes out his rifle at him.*

[11:28] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: But can be a fun game to pass time.

[11:28] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Gets whacked by a candy cane, falling down to the groound with an "Oof!"*

[11:28] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "What the fuck?"

[11:28] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: With or without intoxication. And since we are on a warship over a powder keg, probably best not to imbibe.

[11:29] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Dunno, something must have changed the program.  Or they're doing one of those weird holiday skins?"  *He crouched back down behind the mountain.*

[11:29] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I dunno. Wait, I wanna try something!" *He picked a grenade off his belt and threw it into Blaine's cover.*

[11:29] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -preens as she looks from her padd to the others- Yes i quite agree

[11:30] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Hey, what---"  *Marcus went to dive off the pile, but was soon stuck in an explosion of caramel.*

[11:30] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Something interesting, V?

[11:30] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Aw, I hoped it would be a piñata grenade with wrapped candy inside..."

[11:30] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --nibbles her cookie, looking at the tribble with guilt in her eyes.--

[11:30] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Why no..why do you ask?

[11:31] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You can't eat the holodeck candy!"  *He struggled to get free of the sticky caramel, firing off a few more shots at Bore from his fixed position.*

[11:31] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes I can!"

[11:31] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Is something wrong Ezri?

[11:32] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: Bore gets his helmet half turned around by the hit of a candy cane.* "Ow!" *He threw the helmet off and opened fire on Blaine, his cannon firing giant gumdrops.*

[11:32] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Twinkles keeps looking at me all sad..."

[11:33] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks at the tribble.-- "I am sorry i did not program you to eat cookies."

[11:33] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Holotribble] Cooo.

[11:33] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You were staring at your PADD.

[11:33] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus just barely managed to get himself freed from the caramel in time to hit the deck when Bore fired, the gumdrops bouncing away harmlessly.  He started to crawl on his stomach to a gingerbread..

[11:33] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: wall nearby.*

[11:34] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --frowns.--

[11:34] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore kept firing in that direction, laughing as he watched his first shots take down a giant lollipop tree.*

[11:35] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks down at the holotribble-- "You just are not going to let this go are you?"

[11:35] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Holotribble] Coooooooooo.

[11:35] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus was about to get behind the wall when a gumdrop smacked him in the hip.  He pulled himself into cover, checking his HP and then waiting for Bore's weapon to overheat.*

[11:36] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she set the cookie down and folds her arms in front of her-- "Fine, I wont eat anymore cookies in front of you."

[11:36] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore indeed overheated... or at least, his weapon's tubes got blocked with molten sugar for a bit, and he tried to take cover behind a shuttle made of chocolate.*

[11:36] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *raises her eyebrow*

[11:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Holotribble] Coo.

[11:37] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Once he heard his weapon get clogged Marcus darted out from behind the wall, blasting away at Bore as he made his way to the shuttle.*

[11:37] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Or you oculd simply program your friend to eat cookies

[11:38] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it is not that easy V'Tira. I can do that but it would require a major rewrite of the code."

[11:38] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it will take time."

[11:38] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore watched as the candy canes flew past the shuttle, burying into a statue of Cochrane made of jello, then he popped out of cover with his plasma... supposedly... pistol, opening fire.*

[11:39] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "and Twinkles is not very patient."

[11:39] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It might be easier to introduce a cookie projection for her to consume.

[11:39] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I was doing that doctor, but Twinkles was not satisfied with that."

[11:39] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "...it was too artificial.."

[11:40] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus dove back behind the gingerbread wall as a spray of chocolate shot past harmlessly.  He started rounding around the building, hoping Bore would assume he was still hiding behind the wall as...

[11:40] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: he prepared for an ambush.*

[11:40] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Just be careful Twinkles does not get the taste for flesh.

[11:40] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she sips her drink*

[11:41] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "...and my holoprojector has only limited force field capabilities. I would have to upgrade that as well."

[11:41] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Doctor I would never program Twinkles to comsume flesh."

[11:41] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore's shooting went quiet for now... or well, at least no more streams of chocolate came from behind the shuttle.*

[11:41] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: The fear would be that she would excede her programming.

[11:42] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He drew his sword, which was now a lollipop, and dashed outward toward the shuttle from the side.*

[11:42] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "...Twinkles is programmed to learn."

[11:43] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore had managed to turn around just as Blaine charged, putting his gun up to fire a stream of chocolate.*

[11:43] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "..and I copied all my memory engrams into him...so he is pretty smart already..."

[11:44] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Oh it is a He?

[11:44] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus narrowly dodged the chocolate stream with a sidestep, bringing the lollipop sweeping around to try and smack him in the head with the candy part.*

[11:44] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Got whacked upside the head with a lollipop, the holodeck creating an effect of birdies swirling around his head and chirping, as his HP went down to 1/3rd.*

[11:44] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He stepped back at Bore was stunned, trying to bring the lollipop back down in a finishing move.*

[11:45] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *as ))

[11:45] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "technically Twinkles is genderless."

[11:46] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Twinkles indentifies as an attack shuttle then?

[11:46] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Or a fluffball.

[11:46] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *As he cracked the candy onto Bore's head, the engineer's health dropped to zero.  The game registered one kill for Marcus.*

[11:47] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "real tribbles are hemerphrodites I guess."

[11:47] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *A host of little gingerbread men came, crying little gumdrop tears, picking Bore up to take him back to the respawn point.*

[11:47] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He put the lollipop down and offered Bore a hand.*

[11:47] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed they are

[11:47] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: But if he has all of your memories, can he also play the piano.

[11:47] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He blinked and watched the gingerbread men carry him off.*  "This is a weird-ass map."

[11:47] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Pulled himself up by Blaine's hand, waving the little cookies away.* "That was... less than standard."

[11:48] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "But, I removed Twinkles ability to reproduce. to prevent any unfortunate collapse of the Protector's computer systems from being filled will holotribble copies."

[11:48] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Good round, though."  *He brushed himself off.*

[11:48] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Attack...shuttle?

[11:48] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It was... I did like the lollipop flank.."

[11:48] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Mr Jacobs chosen existence I believe.

[11:49] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Took a chuck out of the chuckle and tried to take a bite.*

[11:49] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at the doctor.-- "he does not have hands doctor."

[11:49] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: He can bounce.

[11:49] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "They don't make you chief of security if you don't know how to smack someone with a lollipop."  *He smirked.*

[11:49] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I guess. I suppose he knows how to play..."

[11:49] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -dryly to Cathy- Check your privledge catherine....do not judge Twinkles

[11:49] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Ow!" * Spit out the chocolate.* "I guess you really can't eat those... But yea, indeed. I am challenging you to a rematch next time we're on the Citadel, though. Map will be bigger."

[11:50] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "But we're still using this map."

[11:50] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy tilts her head.*

[11:50] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "The Citadel can probably produce real chocolate for these, too,"  *he chuckled.*  "Challenge accepted, Ristovski."

[11:51] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He offered his hand.* "Next Citadel stop, first morning afterwards, 9 am sharp."

[11:51] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Deal."  *He gave him a firm handshake.*

[11:52] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Tried to pull Blaine into a bro-hug after.* "I know I've been a bit of an ass lately, but make no mistake, my disagreements with your leadership aren't in any part due to what I think of you as a >

[11:52] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Person."

[11:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: The tribble need not choose a gender

[11:53] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she rotates her neck*

[11:53] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It is clearly female.

[11:53] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't know that it has much meaning for tribbles."

[11:54] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: They do tend to lack phenotypical expression

[11:54] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Catheriene Twinkles is A-  hologram and B- a hemophrodite

[11:54] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus clapped him on the back a few times as they bro-hugged.*  "I'll admit, I wanted to just punch you in the face after last time.  But I don't want this shit to affect anything it doesn't need...

[11:54] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: to.  We still gotta work together."

[11:54] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Relative to sexual dimorphic expression.

[11:55] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: In contrast to Nyzeria's people which while technically all female. Expressed at least a spectrum of dimorphic features between androgenous presentation and well... Man trapping sex goddesses.

[11:55] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she laughs*

[11:55] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I wanted to punch you too, but I agree. You're still my friend, and I guess I just have -high- expectattions for you as a CO... you best become the next Desiree. Maybe not as hot, though, that would>

[11:55] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "be very confusing to our friendship.

[11:55] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --nods at that.--

[11:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: as in the case of Marcus

[11:56] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Sadly.

[11:56] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *sips her mohito*

[11:57] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I don't want to be the next Desiree Clerie, I want to be the first Marcus Blaine."  *He chuckled slightly.*  "Look, sometimes shit happens in the field and it's not a good idea to talk it over at...

[11:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at this- You still have not told him?

[11:57] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Told him what?

[11:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Your attraction to him?

[11:57] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *laughs*

[11:57] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *laughs big* Oh he knows...

[11:57] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: the moment.  And no matter how you disagree with me, just know I'm doing what I think is the best for the crew."

[11:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and this is amusing?

[11:58] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy has a yikes expression on her face.*

[11:58] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she looks at cathy* I am sorry I assumed Commander Clerie told you V'tira.

[11:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Clearly she has not

[11:59] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well.. you remember on Risa.

[11:59] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "Of course. And no matter how pissed off I am with youd choices, you best know I'll not disobey, even if I may whine endlessly. Now, I really gotta go, I have promised to review some proposed>

[11:59] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: When I put him on my shoulder and carried him off.

[11:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes of course

[11:59] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Modifications two of mine drew up."

[11:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Humans are fairly weaker phsycially than vulcanoids

[11:59] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded.*  "If you finish early come by my quarters, I have some Aldebaran whiskey I need help finishing."

[11:59] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Yes, I was delicate.

[12:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed....they can bruise

[12:00] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Atleast after the first time. *laughs*

[12:00] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Had a bet to win that time.

[12:00] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Sweet. Grandpa has another batch of dumpster booze waiting for me at the Citadel post office, so I'll return the favour whenever we get there." *He clapped Blaine's shoulder.* "And cut V'Tira some >

[12:00] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she grins* But yeah... it was dumb.

[12:00] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "slack, she means well."

[12:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Dumb? in what way?

[12:00] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Definitely caused some vegetation problems.

[12:00] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --yawns.--

[12:01] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: You haven't noticed he's been brooding more than usual.

[12:01] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus winced slightly from an old Risa bruise as Bore clapped his shoulder.*  "I'll try... but god damn is she annoying sometimes..."

[12:01] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I should go to bed, I need to be rested for next shift."

[12:01] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Good night Ms Tegan.

[12:01] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Rest well Ezri...

[12:01] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to her friend-

[12:01] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, I annoy her as well on my off-time. Gotta pay it back somehow, y'know." *He grinned.* "See you in an hour or so, hopefully I won't be too long."

[12:02] [DOIC5] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "See you then."  *He powered down the holodeck and headed out.*

[12:02] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Walked off as well, reviewing his PADD.*

[12:03] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles to v'tira*

[12:03] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: So you consumated then?

[12:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Ahh context

[12:04] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: We aren't married.

[12:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I did not think that you were

[12:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: So he has ended things with his priestess?

[12:04] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: We had a night of fun. But Desiree was right I was fucking more than just him with that.

[12:04] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Not to my knowledge.

[12:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I see...so it is a casual thing then?

[12:06] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It was a one time thing.

[12:06] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: And it was suppose to stay on Risa.

[12:06] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: But... this is a small ship.

[12:07] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I see...forgive the inquiry then

[12:07] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It's alright.

[12:07] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I may have well.. I don't know *she sighs*

[12:08] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: The rihannsu medical oath is do no lasting harm. I am afraid I have.

[12:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -cants her head- He had a hand in such as well....do not assume full responsibility

[12:09] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she looked over to V'tira sultried up her voice and squinted slightly at her with a half smirk* Please. You think he could resist it.

[12:10] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I may have been out of the game for thirty years, doesn't mean I forgot the playbook.

[12:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Of course

[12:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I fear however doctor i should join catherine and turn in...we can talk later if you wish

[12:11] [DOIC3] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Maybe. Jolan tru V'tira.
