Sentinel 6/26

[8:37] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --pets her desk lovingly--

[8:38] [DOIC3] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -the desk purrs back..why not..spencer hears all kinds of things anyways :P -

[8:40] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Star Trek Sentinel Theme plays

[8:41] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The credits appear over the Sentinel orbiting the planet of their mysterious hosts, one y one the crew were returned by a botched first contact by the host race who call themselves the People

[8:43] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The Last two to be missing have been returned Commander Shantal and Lt. C'son with Lt. C'son down below in her lab now [due to her being late]

[8:43] [DOIC] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Captain's Log: Stardate 93641.07: 'The People' have kept their word. Our remaining missing crew have been returned, and we are currently in orbit of their world. So far I have seen no evidence of>

[8:44] [DOIC] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: >K'rika's concerns as of yet. Suspicious those they may seem, we have no reason as of yet to believe they could be a threat. Worse yet, K'rika had been in stasis for a long time as I recall. It's>

[8:45] [DOIC] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: >possible reforms have taken place since then. The final concern remains, however. We are Starfleet. And though the Prime Directive gets stretched and contorted, it has not been rescinded. We cannot>

[8:46] [DOIC] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: >interfere beyond the needs of our own survival, the survival of the federation, and the refusal to hand over a Federation Citizen if it comes to that.

[8:46] [DOIC] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Though I suspect that so long as the People are unaware of K'Rika's presence aboard this vessel as a whole, that should not be an issue. I see no reason to not conduct a cultural exchange. End log.

[8:47] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *sips a cup of coffee*

[8:48] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --works on medical reports and other boring stuff.--

[8:48] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon is kneeled before the altar in the chapel. His hands are clasped together and his eyes closed, but an observer would hear no sounds coming from him.*

[8:48] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -is sitting on the bridge for her log for once, meaning the bridge heard that- Status report, please.

[8:48] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Back to calibrating the sensors and adding more data to the planet they are circling.*

[8:49] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar runs some internal scans, still uncertain of whether the crew's disappearance was as benign as the beings claimed.*

[8:51] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -shakes her head some-

[8:51] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "So far, so good, Captain. I haven't detected any signs of hostility or any unusual activity within the ship."

[8:51] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *As Jon finishes what he was doing, a soft 'amen' is heard as his eyes open and he looks up at the altar.*

[8:51] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --gets up and heads out into the sickbay. Remembers during the war when she spent more time healing people than doing paperwork.--

[8:51] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Its been a few days...how come we have not heard from them

[8:51] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *A tall woman with angular features and dark hair stepped calmly from the turbolift.  She surveyed the bridge momentarily before she descended the ramp to stand before the captain with her hands...

[8:52] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: clasped behind her straightened back.*  "Captain, I hope I am not disturbing you at an inopportune time."

[8:52] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Team One begins their weapons and gear check for the day in the armory-

[8:52] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Team Two is out doing PT on the Holodeck-

[8:53] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Many thoughts come rushing into head, including much of what the Director told him. It felt a bit odd, praying like this for the first time since he was a child.*

[8:54] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -looks over, not recognizing the officer- Errr. Perhaps. How can i assist you... *pregnant pause*

[8:55] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *If she was offended, it certainly did not show on her expressionless face.*  "That is the matter I wished to discuss with you, captain.  I wished to introduce myself to you formally; I was...

[8:55] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He wasn't even sure who he was praying to...when he was killed on the starbase and brought back, he has no recollection as to an encounter with any afterlife being. He was just hoping against hope

[8:55] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: that someone was listening.*

[8:55] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: transferred from the U.S.S. Demeter three days ago.  I am Lieutenant Junior Grade Varel, Tactician."

[8:56] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -isn't with his team. He is alone in a holodeck running a hypothetical training simulation against a large armored opponent, safeties at minimum.-

[8:57] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -the simulation is paused and he's resting on his knees, clearly frustrated-

[8:57] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [roll for me seb]

[8:57] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Ah. Welcome aboard lieutenant. Your initial interview seems to have gotten lost in the commotion. Settling in well? I hope our semi-informal behavior isn't offensive to you.

[8:57] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic settles into a conference room, putting his coffee on a coaster*

[8:57] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *After a few more moments of reflection, Jon rises to his feet, performing the Picard manuever on his uniform.*

[8:58] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *he places a small device on the table as well, before sparking up a menthol cigarette*

[8:58] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *he quickly smokes it as the machine eats up the smoke*

[8:59] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He turns to exit the chapel in silence.*

[8:59] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *ashes his Newport before hailing The People again*

[9:00] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I find my accomidations acceptable, I merely hope that my upcoming performance will be to your standards, captain."  *Curiously, she did not address the matter of informality.*

[9:00] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -holds his head for a moment and shakes it as he looks back at thr frozen figure. He hadn't made much progress and is pretty bettered-

[9:00] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --looks off to her left and immediatly freezes in fear. Turns back to her work pretending she didn't see what she saw.--

[9:01] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -nods- Alright. See Mr. Demor about setting up with tactical. He's our current chief of security and has been working at Tactical as well.

[9:01] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Purses her lips, looking at the calibrations. She goes into passive scanning again. Checking to see if anything has changed on world since they have been here.*

[9:01] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon enters a nearby turbolift.* Deck 3.

[9:01] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: **off to her right not left sigh.

[9:02] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I am afraid that I am not yet familiar with all of the names on this ship, captain."

[9:02] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon strolls into sickbay, walking up to Spencer's console. He folds his arms, looking at Spencer with a neutral expression.*

[9:03] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Stands straighter in gesture.* "That would be me, Lieutenant."

[9:03] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --as Jon walks in Spencer looks up startled.--

[9:03] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: *thumbs at the Cardassian*

[9:03] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Billie.

[9:03] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: I didn't see you come in.

[9:03] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She turned impassively to the Cardassian, giving a slight nod before she looked back to the captain.*  "Thank you, sir."  *She strode back up the little staircase.*

[9:04] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: How long have I known you, Billie?

[9:04] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He steps to the side, gesturing to the tactical console.* "Welcome aboard."

[9:04] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: about three years now I think. Why?

[9:04] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She gave a nod.*  "Thank you.  Is there anything I should know?"

[9:05] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "The interface is substantially different from a standard configuration due to some of the new systems advancements present on the Sentinel-class."

[9:05] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *sigh* No answer. Again.

[9:05] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon sighs.* I'm just wondering how much forgiveness I can give.

[9:05] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Computer, notify me if they ever respond to my hail.

[9:05] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -picks up his knife lying in front of him and points it at the figure- I'm going to tear you apart. You know that, right?

[9:05] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He gestures to torpedo control, which would be very unfamiliar.*

[9:05] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -The figure mutely glares at him with its own reflection-

[9:05] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *heads for the T-Lift*

[9:05] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Exec, what do you think? You've been briefed on K'rika's assessment of these people. Do you think her concerns are justified? I doubt they haven't remained static for two hundred thousand years.

[9:06] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --lexhales sharply.--

[9:06] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She looked down curiously at the interface.*

[9:06] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I mean, it's one thing to hide something from me. Maybe you even think it's for my best interest.

[9:06] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Instead of loading torpedoes in batches from separate bays, our system is capable of loading and removing torpedoes from a single inventory pool at will."

[9:06] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: ((*doubt they have remained. It sounded correct in my head I swear))

[9:06] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Vwell...many cultures have various legends of "demons" and "devils" and often relate the physcial appears much like K'rika.

[9:06] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: But when I ask you direct questions...and you try to pass them off as if someone is listening...and then that someone tells me everything.

[9:06] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He taps the control to bring up the menu and the functions are clearly laid out.*

[9:07] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You know...there's a bit of a logical failure there, right?

[9:07] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: And these same talks attribue many fantastic...magic powered to said beings as well as telepanthy and empathy.

[9:07] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Fascinating.  That would be much more efficient, indeed."  *She studied the interface carefully.*

[9:08] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "It gives you finer control if you need to manually adjust torpedo loadouts for situational use, but it can make loading torpedoes very... 'clunky'... if you don't know the command to slave it over to

[9:08] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: So if we take myth and legend into account, then yes..there is merit to K'rika's claims..how much is imagined and how much is truth..hard to say.

[9:08] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Hm's, begins adjusting the sensors to the upperbands.*

[9:08] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: Perhaps, but then again when you are not in a position to tell a person the whole truth one has to lie the best one can.

[9:08] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: the main computer." *He taps another control, bringing up two different menus until he gets to a screen that allows the user to automate torpedo loading.*

[9:08] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "As you can see, the interface's efficiency needs some streamlining."

[9:08] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: When will you ever be in a position to be honest with me again?

[9:09] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic heads down to the Mess Hall for a scotch*

[9:09] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Do we have any means of resisting telepathic attack at the level of K'rika's capability?

[9:09] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *walks up to the replicator* Computer, one scotch please, chillewd.

[9:10] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: Oddly enough the Director has pretty much spilled the beans on the only thing I was keeping from you. Although I can't really imagine what his reasoning for doing so was.

[9:10] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Kylia..who we encoutered long ago...is Avynei...and they also have similar appearances..though different skin and form.

[9:10] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -he stands back up exhaustedly- Yeah, that's what I thought. Computer, Resume program.

[9:10] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: It is possible the Avynei and People share a linked heritage...

[9:10] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Because he needs me. He needs me to keep her life normal for as long as possible.

[9:10] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Not unlikely given how long they've been spacefaring.

[9:10] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *sips on his scotch as he looks out the window, pondering*

[9:11] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: And, will you actually be able to do that?

[9:11] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've programmed shortcuts into my personal configuration, but once I sign off this console, it will reset to your user's default. I can help you set that up, if you'd like."

[9:11] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Blinks at the screen, then starts adjusting signals to see if she can clarify what she's looking at.*

[9:11] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I gave him my word that I would try.

[9:11] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *grumbles as he starts to miss his ex-wife*

[9:11] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: What I mean is know what you know now, how hard is that going to be?

[9:12] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Considering the methods they have been using for protection...I imagine our arrive here has..upset thier balance and they are in conflict how to procede.

[9:12] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Indeed; perhaps with some practice and additional familiarity I will be able to assist you in such streamlining.  And I would appreciate that, yes."

[9:12] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon grits his teeth.* Nothing will be more difficult than seeing her...transferred to another...'iteration'.

[9:12] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Leaning over, he signs out of the console and allows Varel to log in. Spinning around, he enters his credentials into the security console.*

[9:12] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Limited cultural exchange with an offer for a full diplomatic mission then leave them to thier business?

[9:12] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *pulls out his PADD* Computer, give me everything you know on someone named K'Rika.

[9:13] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: Meanwhile every day you will have to live with the idea that it is inevitable.

[9:13] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel seated herself in the chair behind the console, keying in her own codes.*

[9:13] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Make nice, then leave them be with the door open, but not impose upon them.

[9:13] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Believe me, it hasn't been easy. I...I've been asking...whatever's up there *Jon points to the ceiling.* for another away.

[9:13] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *way

[9:13] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Computer] Accessing..file displayed -displays her federation citizen records since her recovery-

[9:13] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: A miracle.

[9:14] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Hmmm. Interesting. *flips through her profile* Where is this K'Rika now?

[9:14] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: I am not certain vwot vwe 'ave ta offer directly capn' -her accent shifting back inplace-  "If they are like Avynei, then vwe'll just settle on a "hi" instead.,

[9:14] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --sighs-- And I really wish that I knew of some other way...But, I am just not that smart.

[9:15] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Computer] K'Rika is located on deck 4 cabin 8 officers quarters

[9:15] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Upon setting up the internal sensor feeds, he wheels around and stands to the left of Varel, looking down at the console.* "Any other questions, LIeutenant?"

[9:15] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* I don't expect you to be a genius, Billie. I'm going to try to forgive you...but we need to be on the same page from here on out.

[9:15] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Very good... *Vic downs the last of his scotch and heads out in search of Deck 4, Cabin 8*

[9:15] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: If you think she is getting to the point where you cannot stabalize her, I need to know.

[9:16] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon locks eyes with her.* No more games.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I just feel it woudl be remiss to not give the full gesture.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "A summation of your shortcuts may be useful, if I am to be using your configuration."

[9:16] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *The Turbolift opens. She steps out of it and yawns all kitty like. She's late, extremely uncharacteristic for her.*

[9:16] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *eventually he makes his way to the cabin and DINGS the bell*a

[9:17] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Expands the scans to see how far the effect goes.*

[9:17] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Open the torpedo control menu, then go to system administration."

[9:17] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -a long pause with no immediate answer-

[9:17] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --looks off to the right, seems distracted for a moment then turns back to Jon.-- This has never been a game. But, at this point you have been read in on this...so your in the loop from hear on out.

[9:17] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Beep boop beep, Varel did as Tolar told her.*

[9:17] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks at Spencer curiously* Something wrong with you?

[9:18] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Damn. Must be sleeping.

[9:18] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Nooo, come back." Starts searching for the signal again.*

[9:18] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Hold down the control for automated torpedo loading. When prompted, create the shortcut and drag it to the left pane in the center panel."

[9:18] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -crouches back intoa  fighting stance, struggling to focus on his target in the simulated snow that whipped by. He circled his opponent, mind lost in the moment-

[9:18] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -a soft voice- enter?

[9:18] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She approaches behind the Joy* Captain, I give my apologies for my tardiness. Permission to resume work into the coordinates and puzzle?

[9:18] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Ahh, good. *Vic walks into the quarters, smiling*

[9:18] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --swallows dryly.-- No I'm fine. --she really doesn't seem fine, she seems nervous.--

[9:18] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: You're late lieutenant.

[9:19] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Hello! My name is Victor.

[9:19] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* You look like you need some help. You outta see Counselor Davem sometime...she was really helpful in our last session...although I think she can read more of me than she lets on

[9:19] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] is curled up on the couch hugging a throw pillow to her chest, her tail idly swishing half hanging off the couch as he eyes him with unblinking black orbs-

[9:19] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Making sure that simulation mode was enabled in case of mistakes, Varel followed his instruction.*

[9:19] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --nods-- I am not sure she can help me.

[9:20] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [[K'rika] what do you want ... Victor?

[9:20] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Why?

[9:20] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: Its a long story.

[9:20] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic sits down in a chair at the other end of the room* Are you okay? You seem a little upset.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Now, tap the button on the top of the left pane to save that shortcut. It will save to your user and persist every time you log in."

[9:21] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* You know where to find me. We've been through a lot together...it really does hurt when I have to find these things out on my own.

[9:21] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] I am....fine...who are you Victor...Billie Jo is not here right now

[9:21] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Just use the shortcut pane sparingly so you don't trip yourself up. The last man to use this console almost used the phasers to run a sensor scan."

[9:21] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I'm the ship's diplomatic officer. And I didn't come here to talk to the Doctor, just to you.

[9:22] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] -cants her head at him and /stares/ her voice quivering some- ...why? why me?

[9:22] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel saved the file as 'asdf' and nodded.*  "I will be sure to keep it organised, sir."

[9:22] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: I'm sorry you were not told. But at the time it was thought it was for the best. Apparently the Director felt otherwise.

[9:23] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Captain?

[9:23] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon eyes Billie suspiciously* Who thought it was for the best? You?

[9:23] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -looks over-  Maybe she a bit out of it..

[9:23] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Permission granted..back to jur stuff C'son.

[9:23] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "The automated toggle is the most important thing you need, really. This way, you don't have to tab through two different menus."

[9:24] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "If you have any other questions, let me know." *He offers a friendly smile, then goes back to the security console.*

[9:24] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: da People have not made futher contact form belong..it been a few days and people are are..anxious.

[9:24] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Well, we've come into contact with a species that seems similar to yours.

[9:24] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -in a moment of adrenaline, feuled by rage hate and a small bit of fear, he charged again at the behemoth making his focal points the units joints-

[9:24] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -turns and watche sher for a moment- You're late. That was my response.

[9:24] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] -her look darkens- ...I...Know

[9:24] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: You might want to do a database search against the occult and demons and devils..might seem odd, but vworth a look.

[9:25] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: To be honest It was only just recently that I found out the complete truth of the matter myself.

[9:25] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Really? How do you know?

[9:25] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She turns to Shantal and nods* Thank you, XO. *She then turns back to the Captain* I see.

[9:25] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: That was when he started giving you the injections for her?

[9:25] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] I was told

[9:25] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel nodded, familiarising herself with the console as she listened to the business on the bridge.*

[9:25] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: Yes.

[9:25] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Do you have any thoughts or feelings on the subject?

[9:26] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: How well has that gone?

[9:26] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *smiles at her pleasantly, although he seems to be occupied with some thoughs*

[9:26] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: * thoughts*

[9:26] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Proceed. Try to be on time, It's not normal for you.

[9:27] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: It has gone surprisingly well. I thought her run in with Mirror Asada was going to really screw things up...but, we got lucky it did not seem to do any lasting damage.

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Again, my Apologies, Captain. *She takes a deep breath. Mentally she was punishing herself. Her face remained expressionless as always. She then moved to go to her usual post, seeing Stingray there.*

[9:27] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] Yes...we need to go...leave...now..imediately

[9:27] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *seems surprised by that answer* Why?

[9:28] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "There..." Tries again to find the full extent and where its going.* "Hello, look at this. I seemed to have found a cloak field. A BIG cloak field out there."

[9:28] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] They are going to kill each and every one of you...it is what they do

[9:28] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon grimaces and shows a flash of anger at the mention of the imposter.* So he was the...'telepathic intrusion' he spoke of...that bastard.

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Lieutenant Stingray, show me what you hav- *Is cut off by Val telling her what she found, and just looks it over*

[9:29] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *puts his hand over his mouth in shock* Why would they do that? How do you know they would do that?

[9:29] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Lieutenant, have you been looked at since your time with our friends out there?

[9:29] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] They are the others....they are the killers of life

[9:29] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: It seems some sort of internal safety mechanism activated and protected Alice from whatever it was he was trying.

[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She looks to Joy* Are you referring to me, Captain?

[9:30] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: That's... not what I expected. Might I ask, where were you before the Sentinel?

[9:31] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Yes.

[9:31] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: If you see that start to happen again, I want to know.

[9:31] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -looks unfocused a moment the peer over at the main view screen-

[9:31] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] I was Archon ...of my Tribe...selected to serve the Guardians who watched over 'The People'...the true People

[9:31] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: Well I hope nothing happens to cause that to happen again.

[9:31] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Capn'  call it a hunch by I an feelin' da People got some manner of system wide..selective cloaking.

[9:31] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Interesting. How did you get from there to the Sentinel?

[9:32] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I do not believe so, no.

[9:32] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Neither do I. *Jon turns to leave.*

[9:32] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: If true..no telling vwot exactly it out 'ere.

[9:32] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'm sure we'll speak again soon, Billie.

[9:32] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] a ...-said with distaste- a prisoner

[9:32] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Hmmm. Alright. They haven't been doing anything we know about during any of the recent conflicts.

[9:32] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: Jon for what it is worth I am sorry.

[9:32] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "There's no telling what the lasting effects are of what they did in here, either."

[9:32] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: It's possible they simply want to keep to themselves.

[9:32] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *leans back in the chair with a furrowed brow* Who took you prisoner?

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] such a field would explain out loss of subsapce feeds and communications

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: our*

[9:33] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Huh, they're cloaking their planet?"

[9:33] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] ...-shifts uncomfortably-....does this matter?

[9:34] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I know. I'm sorry that she can't have a normal life...

[9:34] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *she turns to Stingray* Are you quite sure of this?

[9:34] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *smiles* I suppose it doesn't. I just want to know if you, personally, know of these people we've just met.

[9:34] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Or if you've only heard of them.

[9:34] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --watches as Jon leaves then buries her head in her hands--

[9:34] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] -hisses this her snake like forked tongue flicks the air- Yes....i KNOW them

[9:35] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Personally?

[9:35] [DOIC3] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon walks out of sickbay and back into the turbolift.* Deck 11.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Its more a hunch then anything."

[9:35] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic continues his aura of helpfulness and compassion*

[9:35] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] -scowls darkly at him- Why are you here?

[9:36] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I'm trying to gather the information I need to do my job, and I think you might just have what I need.

[9:36] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Are you able to determine the size of the cloaked area, and of it's shape?

[9:37] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *his sentence trails off as he just stares at her like a deer in the headlights*

[9:37] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --stand sup and heds into her office.--

[9:37] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] -leans forward slightly- I want an ANSWER!

[9:37] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I was still working on that part. I think I'm going to the science department to focus on that."

[9:37] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: A networked set up cloaking arrays?

[9:37] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Plus, give your seat back." Smiles.

[9:37] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --plops down in the chair.--

[9:37] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: C'son..Val...I guessing they can do that over dis entire system..maybe even more.

[9:37] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *slowly and without the pleasantness of his past demeanor* I don't know what answer I can give. I've already told you.

[9:38] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon steps out of the turbolift and heads into the armory.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Looking to Shantal.* I suspect that could be the case, ma'am."

[9:38] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] -frowns more displeased with the answer apparently as she hisses and hugs the pillow tightly as she eyes him unblinking now-

[9:38] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --opens the desk drawer and eyes the botttle of scotch for several minutes before slamming the drawer closed again.--

[9:39] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: It's an old civilization, it's hard to say what they have.

[9:39] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Are you trying to telepathically manipulate me?

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Perhaps we may need to use something akin to sonar location...Sending signals to see what bounces back, and use that as a method to map out locations of what is and isn't cloaked. The objects, even --

[9:39] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon walks up to Decia's office and hits the buzzer.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] But why? why cloak an entire star system?

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: --cloaked, should still physically be there.

[9:39] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Enter

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She looks to Walker* Hostile parties that wish to attack them, seperation from other cultures...

[9:40] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "If I may... it would be the same reason anyone would raise a cloak.  To hide something that they do not want others to find."

[9:40] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] -shakes her head- No! I was having breafast!

[9:40] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Breakfast*

[9:40] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon enters her office, taking a seat.* Hey. I don't mean to intrude on anything if you're busy.

[9:40] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *grumbles*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Seems a simply truth of esacaltion..more power ju vwield..means ju have more powerful enemies...

[9:40] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot.

[9:41] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -smirks and points to seat- No just going over training schedules

[9:41] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I need to know why you believe these people are dangerous. Otherwise, I cannot convince the captain.

[9:41] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] -sighs- Fine...i know what they have done..I have seen their betrayal, first hand

[9:42] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Perhaps it's best if we're on our way then. The last thing we need is another conflict.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Or maybe like us..no everyone agrees..and vwe've proven to be our own vworst enemy...maybe dat patterns hold true for dhem as vwell.

[9:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] But..why invite us here...and then hide everything?

[9:42] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods, running a hand up and down his face.* Sometimes I wonder why I pursue the truth so hard when I hate the answer at every turn.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Maybe they aren't ready to show us everything till they can trust us?"

[9:42] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Well, what happened?

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I believe there are two possibilities.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Or it was a show of their capabilities."

[9:42] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -shakes her head- The truth is never easy Jonathan...it is why lies were created

[9:43] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Maybe..but I be thinkin vwe 'ave ta try..our job is vrisk capn'.

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] They became...corruption

[9:43] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Do you think they would harm us?

[9:43] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Either we were invited by a more hostile force that wanted us to expose what was being cloaked here, or perhaps we simply need to identify ourselves to them.

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] Yes!

[9:43] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Also true. Well, lets go try not to cause a diplomatic incident. Have we heard from the locals?

[9:43] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Certainly dealt with my fair share of those.

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] -snarls- What part of this do you NOT get?

[9:43] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Recently.

[9:44] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: You are being a little vague.

[9:44] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] Murderers is /Vague/????

[9:44] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Who, specifically, did they murder?

[9:44] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] Life

[9:44] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I haven't talked with Dreel since we arrived."

[9:44] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Uh-huh.

[9:45] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] -throws up her talons in disgusted frustration- They destroy life...they consume it!

[9:45] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: We...Have made contact with them?

[9:45] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Humans destroy life, too.

[9:45] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I would imagine

[9:45] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: The truth is...all of our time in this universe is limited in some way or another. Medical advances have gotten us further than we were, but at the end we all fade away.

[9:45] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Yes.

[9:46] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'Rika] -levels a gaze at him- No...you take lives...not destroy

[9:46] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Of course. They accidently made the whole crew disappeared, well, almost all the crew."

[9:46] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: And what was the communication that occurred?

[9:46] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: The disappearance of crew members and such were ostensibly caused by thier efforts to... bring us in.

[9:46] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I was just hoping to spend my time alloted with someone else, at least for most of it

[9:46] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *smiles a little bit* I understand.

[9:46] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] That is the will of the son Jonathan, it is what makes us all special

[9:47] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I believe they said that they were preparing us for the conditions of their system, or something along those lines, correct?"

[9:47] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I don't know who's up there when I go into the chapel and ask for a miracle. I just hope they're listening.

[9:47] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] You must make do and enjoy what time is granted you and live it to the fullest

[9:47] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "If that's the case, then why were some of us left behind?"

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Did they explain how, exactly?

[9:48] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -smiles softly- He hears Jonathan...he might not always be abl to act...but he hears everything

[9:48] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I should report to the Captain. Thank you for your time, K'Rika.

[9:48] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] -scowls at him- and they we will be leaving?

[9:48] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: If you think of anything else that might be useful, feel free to send me a comm.

[9:48] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: That depends on the Captain's orders.

[9:48] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -after numerous times sent sprawling, with no luck making any damage to his opponent. He picks himself up again, throwing his helmet off- Computer, Halt Simulation.

[9:48] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Conditions is kinda vague..can be anything..including politcan..social climate...

[9:48] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] Cha...Ill get right on that

[9:48] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: If he doesn't act...the least I can do is allow her to enjoy herself until she no longer can.

[9:48] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *he gets up and pulls the Picard Maneuver*

[9:48] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Enjoy your breakfast, please.

[9:49] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "And we still haven't been able to verify or detect whether or not something happened to those that vanished."

[9:49] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "This entire situation strikes me as worrying."

[9:49] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [K'rika] -hisses her tail snapping a the edge of the couch- yeah...right'

[9:49] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Have we determined if anything has changed in us? As far as I can tell, it hasn't affected my bonding. I still feel all of my memories correctly.

[9:49] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *he smiles and walks out the room. as the door closes behind him, his smile turns into a scowl and he heads to the lift*

[9:49] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -nods- I agree with Tolar...something is off here

[9:50] [DOIC2] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Bridge.

[9:50] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I've run scans on various missing crew memebers, but I haven't discovered anything."

[9:50] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Perhaps Doctor Spencer should run a comparative scan between a crewmember that was left behind and one who vanished?"

[9:50] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "She may be able to find something."

[9:50] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic walks out onto the bridge* Captain, I have a report on the diplomatic situation.

[9:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] I think we were still waiting on that report from her

[9:51] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Bear in mind, Mr. Springfield, it could be two hundred thousand years out of date. Please continue.

[9:51] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I feel it's my responsibility to allow her to life a normal life until the end.

[9:51] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] ..yes, yes it is Jonathan

[9:51] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: They continue to ignore my hails. They seem uninterested in talking. I noted that their race bears some similarity to K'Rika's race, so I spoke to her on the matter.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: She seems to think that they are a hostile race, but she could provide no solid details.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: If they truly have no interest in speaking to us, then perhaps our continued presence here is inappropriate.

[9:52] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Perhaps I might contact and identify myself to them. It was I who was handed this puzzle after all.

[9:52] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -as he speaks the words the monstrosity charges hard and slams into him, sending him flying into the holodeck wall as the simulation fades-

[9:53] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks up at her.* The end will be hard. I won't ask you to be there if you don't wish to be.

[9:53] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Possibly. But ignoring us is a strange and annoying way of blowing us off. -glancing over at C'son- Make the attempt Lieutenant. Let's see if they pick up.

[9:53] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I will be where I am needed Jonathan, in whatever capacity

[9:54] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -coughs a little blood as he lies on the ground- You... cheap shotting... bastard.

[9:54] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Gets ready to turn the station over to C'son.*

[9:54] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles, chuckling for a second.* You don't have to be perfect around me, remember?

[9:54] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *she uses one of the side panels to attempt to send a signal towards the last known point of contact with the other species. She would Identify herself and explain that it was her who received the --

[9:54] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: If we still remain unable to contact them for another 24 hours, I recommend we take the hint and leave.

[9:54] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: --puzzle before.*

[9:55] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I actually agree Mr. Springfield. Provided we're able to leave. It's clear they did somethign to us when we first arrived. I'm concerned that they may not let us.

[9:56] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --picks up her PADD and heads out of the sickbay head for the lift.--

[9:57] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --steps on the lift.-- Bridge.

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Captain...we are being hailed

[9:58] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: On screen then.

[9:58] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Looks back at the screen.* "Huh, one more thing about the cloak. Its transmitting on a neural frequency. Some kind of telephathic technology. No wonder I almost knocked myself out..."

[9:58] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: --steps out onto the bidge and looks around.--

[9:58] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Its Archon Traal their lead scientist again

[9:58] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Interesting.

[9:59] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *she steps to look over at the main viewer*

[9:59] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -lies on the ground for a few minutes debating the value of just passing out before finally picking himself up and limping to retrieve his helmet- Next time.

[9:59] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon leans back in the seat for a moment, stretching.* I do appreciate you lending an ear, though.

[9:59] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Hello again Archon.

[10:00] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -smiles and looks down her voice softer- I was not trying to be..perfect

[10:00] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: --looks upat the main viewer.--

[10:00] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Makes notes bout the cloak before looking at the screen.*

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -the Archon smiles to you all, his pale skin is in sharp contrast to his obsidian hair horns and eyes-

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] My apologies to you all for the long wait Captain...I can only imagine what you must think of us now

[10:02] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: There were concerns, yes.

[10:02] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She looks at the main viewer, observing what this person looks like.*

[10:02] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles back.* One of these days I'm going to get you out of your element so you can relax some. Maybe the next time we have leave.

[10:03] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: --fidgits with her PADD as she watches the ARchon on the screen.--

[10:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Well my apologies once more captain, we are dealing with some..beauracratic issues stemmig from your rather unexpected arrival

[10:04] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -Neither did I-

[10:04] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: (Ignore)

[10:04] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: --her inner voice screems give me back the voice from inside my head--

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She squints, and looks to the Captain*

[10:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] I do ask for now just be a little more patient with us, there are some

[10:05] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: You're discussing what to do with us.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: (( I ain't do it

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] I do ask for now just be a little more patient with us, there are some concerns down here about ... your 'guest' aboard ship Captain

[10:15] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon stands up from the seat.* Thanks for listening. If there's ever anything you need from me...you know how to reach me.

[10:15] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *Vic raises an eyebrow*

[10:15] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -taking a moment to supress his anger at his lack of progress, he exits the holodeck and begins limping toward the turbolift-

[10:15] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: She had been sealed away for two hundred thousand standard years. How could she still be a concern?

[10:15] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Now I am sure this can smoothed out in time with no real issues...mny of our people are looking forward to meeting you and your crew

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -sighs and nods- captain..believed...I and many of my feelow scientists could not agree more...but when a ship arrives carrying the ancient myth of the embodiement of your people's ...well..

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] ..evil...it is hard to settle some old ....emotions and beliefs down

[10:17] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: (( keeping going a sec, but i really need to go tende something. I shouldn't be long. I didn't feel this before but now I do.

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Now my council and I are making headway

[10:19] [DOIC4] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -enters the turbolift- Sickbay.

[10:19] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -smiles- Do not call me, I shall call you -chuckles and nods- I am not sure that I was of much aid Jonathan

[10:19] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. And this isn't exactly stuff I want to discuss with Alice.

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] as I said many of my people are truly looking forward to meeting with all of you

[10:20] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] She is strong Jonathan, i do believe she has known the truth about herself for some time now

[10:21] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She steps into view of the 'camera'(?) for the View Screen.* Might I as why I was given coordinates hidden inside puzzles of various design, to this location?

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: ((*might I ask

[10:22] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You are probably right, but does that make discussing it any easier? As I said before...I just want her to at least have the lliusion of normalcy for as long as possible.

[10:23] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Why have an illusion Jonathan...when you have the reality?

[10:24] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: So she can be happy?

[10:24] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] You have her now...she is real. Enjoy this time...fight for more when you need too, but until then accept who and what she is

[10:25] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I am still trying to accept it in my head.

[10:25] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -smiles- Liueteat C'son is it not?

[10:25] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Indeed, I am.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -hobbles from the turbolift into Sickbay-

[10:25] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Jonathan...you are trying to fight to undo all of this. Your fight is to make what you have last...fight the correct battle

[10:26] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* I spoke with the Director...I know what I have won't last sans a miracle.

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] You were not sought out directly by us...the puzzle did that...it somehow sensed in you a sense of deep curiousity and a seeker of truth...real truth

[10:26] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: That is the reality.

[10:27] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She perks a brow* The puzzle chose me?

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -smiles to her- A true scientist...it was created to do that very thing and it found you

[10:27] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -softly- Nothing gold can stay, nature's hardest hue to hold

[10:27] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Hmm. *scratches his goatee*

[10:27] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Nothing truly special ever lasts forever Jonathan

[10:28] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: (( I AM SO SORRY About that. You don't WANT to know what happened though

[10:28] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I know.

[10:28] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I had just hoped it would last longer.

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] So yes...our 'probe' or puzzle sought out no tjust intelligent life..but one curious enough to what to learn new truths

[10:29] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I hope that perhaps your people and council see that perhaps old superstitions and fears are simply that. Old. It is perhaps time for something new.

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] No warriors, no zealots...just a simple scientist

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Again captain...I agree. But I am not in charge of such things

[10:30] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -shakes her head- It has not ended Jonathan, and as long as the battle is being fought, it can be won

[10:30] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Miracles out here, can and do happen

[10:31] [DOIC3] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -after a few moments, the irritation on his face grows- This is what we do? Just keep people waiting for treatment?

[10:31] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well...by your Son...I need one, Decia.

[10:31] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I am doing everything that I can every night to see you both get one

[10:31] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -smiles slightly- Then I suppose we can wait.

[10:31] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I am too.

[10:31] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] One is coming Jonathan, your story with her is far from over

[10:32] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] I must prepare you for one thing however

[10:32] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: ANd that is?

[10:32] [DOIC3] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Truf.

[10:32] [DOIC3] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: (Gah.)

[10:33] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'd like that very much.

[10:33] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -nods to him- If you belive that, then it will be so Jonathan

[10:35] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* I envy your faith.

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] I believe the price of smoothing this out will be a visit to your ship by members of our ruling council to meet with you and your crew

[10:36] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: --Spencer's eyes get wide at that.--

[10:36] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] It will be a diplomatic one, but you must understand...The People are governed as I mentioned before by our Religous Caste

[10:36] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *One of Varel's pointed eyebrows rises skeptically.*

[10:37] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I see. That is concerning.

[10:37] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Though the Science Caste and Labor caste is growing...and much larger..the Religous Caste and Defender's Caste is far more older and indocrinated

[10:38] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: As it common.

[10:38] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Well Science and Labor are not without our ...strengths in getting what we wish accomplished...and what we want is contact with your people

[10:38] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: *is common.

[10:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] I will always assure you captain..I shall always be direct and upfront with you

[10:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -quirks a brow at that-

[10:39] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: What is the danger of thier disapproval?

[10:39] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -shakes her head- It is no more strong than yours

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] You maybe asked to depart with no further contact...would your people agree to such a stipulation?

[10:40] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I think mine has been tested more in the past year than the rest of my life combined.

[10:41] [DOIC3] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -snarls from impatience and exits Sickbay, heading for the Amory-

[10:41] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: While it would cease diplomatic relations, I am sure command would understand. But I have a stipulation as well if it comes to that. My crew remains intact. We keep everyone, including K'Rika.

[10:41] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: What of the puzzle? Would that perhaps be a swaying argument in our favor to interact more?

[10:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -smiles a genuine smile to C'son- T'sirak? may i call you this? T'sirak I do hope that I am prounoucing that correctly?

[10:43] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I am fine with whatever you wish to adress me by. And yes, you are. *She keeps a neutral face.*

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] You acceptance of the puzzle and its of you...is a very compelling aruguement from us on your behalf T'Sirak..it shows a common bond between our races

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] that is the point of view of my caste

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] For the religous...you might be seen as a 'rabble rouser'

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] for the laborer you are seen as a creative thinker...not a mindless drone

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] I hope this answers your question T'Sirak

[10:46] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I see...Perhaps a note to them that I would not wish to interfere with their practices...A commonly used statement I have seen when adressing those of great religious belief is that science does not--

[10:47] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: --completely disprove their ideals. That is something that seems to work in regards to keeping peace and working together. But yes, it does answer my question.

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Do i have permission to let them hear this in your very words T'Sirak?

[10:48] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -smirks, nodding a bit-

[10:48] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -shakes her head amused by that- The tests never end Jonathan, it is why life is hard

[10:48] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: ((... that was Joy nodding in approval to the situation, not anything else

[10:48] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I find this agreeable. *She looks to the Captain to see what she has to say.*

[10:49] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* Do I have to be tested like this?

[10:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -smiles a true smile and nods gratefully to her- THAT will go a long way for our cause, I thank you T'Sirak

[10:49] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -smiles a true smile and nods gratefully to her- THAT will go a long way for our cause, I thank you T'Sirak

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Captain...is there a Lieutenant Val Stingray still on yourbridge?

[10:50] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She nods to Traal*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: There is. Or was.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: And I approve of the effort, C'son.

[10:51] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -limps his way into the armory and makes his way to his locker-

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -shakes his head and seems to shoo someone of screen- If she is...do inform her that my associate Draal...is not ignoring her, we have been given direct orders to limit direct contact until a

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: proper course of action could be decided.

[10:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] That is also to Mister Springfield, who has tried to reach us as well

[10:52] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *waves at Traal*

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -smiles and lifts his hand slowly to imitate the wave in return to be polite-

[10:53] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: We'll let her know.

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] I hope i did that correctly enough Mistr Springfield

[10:53] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Absolutely, sir.

[10:55] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -chuckles warmly and nods- Of course you are tested no differently than any other Jonathan

[10:55] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Well. I suppose you'll let us know when your leaders are ready to address us?

[10:55] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] Very well than...please I ask all of you to be just a little more patient. If you need to contact us again..please Ive been allowed to be your contact point'

[10:55] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Sometimes it doesn't seem like that.

[10:56] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I dunno...I might just be fatigued from it all.

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] it should not be much longer Captain, I assure you

[10:57] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Of course. We'll keep that in mind.

[10:57] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I am sure that is all that it is. Besides it is when you grow eeaker or falter, that you seek out friends. You and Alice are not alone Jon and do not face this alone

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Traal] -smiles- Very well captain...Trall out -signs off-

[10:58] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *SHe walks back to her post*

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Hmm

[10:58] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: --She looks very skeptical as the viewer goes blank.-- hmph.

[10:58] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Team one is still working on their gear-

[10:59] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I want plans and considerations for an immediate escape ready to go.

[10:59] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I have a bad feeling about this.

[10:59] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: Captain. I finished my analysis of the crew that were held in flux.

[10:59] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I should probably get going. Thanks again.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: What did you find?

[11:00] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: (( also I need to step out again. damnit, stupid innards

[11:00] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Vwe can try capn', but I wager if dhey wanted t take us out...dhey could at anytime dhey vwished.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "They would certainly have the element of surprise," *she remarked dryly.*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: Well for the most part I found nothing physical wa done to any of the crew. Although...

[11:00] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -frowns some- I meant to ask...but you do not stand watch this day?

[11:01] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: The crew that was taken was more neuro peptide depleted than those that were not.

[11:01] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Meain' vwot Billie?

[11:01] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: This seems to indicates some sort of telepathic probing was done.

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Seriously?

[11:02] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: We're in orbit so I was giving Vin some extra time.

[11:02] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -chuckles- so this was approved>

[11:02] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Vright..so could literally waste us all vwith a thought, groovy.

[11:02] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: ?

[11:02] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: I can't be 100 percent sure. But I can't imagine what else could account for the readings.

[11:03] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Vinzora] -from the helm- What...nevermind

[11:03] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* Of course. I had it listed as 'personal time'. I needed some time to reflect on what I had learned.

[11:03] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *sigh* I hate telepathic manipulation.

[11:03] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -nods- Ofcourse

[11:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Vinzora] It might not be...

[11:04] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -opens the most dented locker door ever, and throws in his helmet inside. He takes a few breaths before stripping out of his armor, wincing throughout the process-

[11:04] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Do you have an alternative theory?"

[11:04] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: It makes sense seeing as K'Rika has telepathic abilities, that her people would as well.

[11:04] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I enjoyed our conversation as always. I hope you can find some relaxation.

[11:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Vinzora] I was just thinking...what if that is how they 'look' at people when they first see them?

[11:05] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: K'Rika is dangerous enough as it is. Can you imagine a whole world full of them?

[11:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -snaps her head up at that- What?

[11:05] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: Although she claims these are not exactly *her* people.

[11:06] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -levels a scowl at Vic-

[11:06] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: Apparently they are some other faction, she refered to them as the "Others" I think.

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Vinzora] -mostly to just Varel and herself then- They are isolated, and if they are all telepathic a mind probe just might be how they look someone over

[11:07] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -smiles at him- What? I am relaxing

[11:07] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: For a telepathic race, a mind scan may be a lot like a hand shake is for us. A way of getting to know someone.

[11:07] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] and yes I did enjoy our talk as well

[11:08] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon grims.* Good.

[11:08] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Vwell, I guess dat means lieing if off da table.  so takes bluffing vright out too.

[11:08] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *grins

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Vinzora] So it might be why they are all unsure of us

[11:08] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: I would suck to play poker with them.

[11:08] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Be well. *Jon turns and exits her office, stepping out into the armory.*

[11:08] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Perhaps, though one would assume that they would make a reasonable request in such a case."

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Vinzora] -the Effrosian chuckles and nods-

[11:08] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: We still need to keep an adequate escape route regardless.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: (( also I'm still having some trouble. gimmie a minute. so sorry about this guys. I neglected one of my dietary issues

[11:09] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He instinctively tries to avoid Seb as he does, quickly exiting the armory and heading for the turbolift.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: All I got capn' it aim away from here an' pray.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: I just wanted to let you know what I found, which to be honest was not a whole lot.

[11:10] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -stops for a moment to look at Jon, scowl, then returns to changing-

[11:10] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Actually Doctor -smiles to her friend- it may helped prove that atleast Traal and his people are telling the truth

[11:10] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Without knowing the full extent of their cloaked positions it would be fairly difficult to be prepared.  It may be prudent to remain as close to the edge of what we believe to their territory as...

[11:10] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: possible."

[11:11] [DOIC5] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Bridge.

[11:11] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: --turns and heads back for the lift.--

[11:11] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: What a touch situation.

[11:11] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Do you believe Slipstream could be sufficient to get us out of here?

[11:11] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: * tough

[11:12] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: --nods to Jon as he steps off the lift as she get on.--

[11:12] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon gives a polite nod as he walks past her onto the bridge.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] Spencer@Demoncherub: Sickbay.

[11:12] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Provided that they have no mechanism to disable our slipstream drive, captain."

[11:13] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Ummm...the body snatched like most everyone while vwe vwere in slipstream...

[11:13] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Well they sure didnt stop us from arriving

[11:13] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon turns to the new face at Tactical curiously as he steps out on the bridge.*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "A race of telepaths? How great is that?"

[11:14] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel glanced at Jon as he peered at her, offering a curt and polite nod before turning her attentions back toward the bridge.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon returns the polite nod, heading for his station.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Honestly, I do not trust them at all.

[11:15] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --enters sickbay and sits down at a console and starts doing doctor stuff.--

[11:15] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Well, lets keep working on solutions. Hopefully he is right in the assumption that they will let us leave.

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -smiles a warm smile to the man that charmed her before- that is hardly....diplomatic of you Vic

[11:16] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Well, thats not fair. The Archon is being forth right with us about problems on his end."

[11:16] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He flashes a warm smile at Alice as he steps down.*

[11:16] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -smiles to Jon as he pases-

[11:16] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] but quickly turns her smile back to Vic-

[11:16] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: The key to a good negotiation is to talk as if you trust someone, but act as if they're about to stab you in the gut.

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] So in short be ready for anything?

[11:17] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Here I thought diplomacy on vworked from a position of power...a spot vwe aint in vright now...

[11:17] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon gives Vin a smile.* Good work, Ensign.

[11:18] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Vinzora] -stands- I stand relieved....-smirks- finally

[11:18] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "A prudent - if crudely worded - philosophy."  *Could that be a hint of approval in her cold voice?  Heaven forbid.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon chuckles and takes his seat.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I don't get that feeling they are setting us up for a trap."

[11:18] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Rule 48. The bigger the smile the sharper the knife. Are you part ferengi now?

[11:18] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Vinzora For what it is worth I agree with Vak

[11:19] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Even occult text hint at a code even these being they saw as evil incarent abided by...

[11:19] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Almost every culture has figured it out....

[11:19] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] The scientists might not be...

[11:19] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Which text?

[11:20] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon takes his station, acquainting himself with their orbit trajectory while quietly listening to the conversation on the bridge.*

[11:20] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -exits her office and goes to her locker gingerly opening it and selects something from her gear-

[11:21] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: I think vwe need to put aside vic diplomacy standard...fer somethin' more transperant, dhey gonna know if vwe are being two faced.

[11:21] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: That's a little pessimistic, Sir.

[11:21] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She shakes her head, having been lost in thought. She tries to catch up with the conversation at hand.*

[11:22] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *rubs a coin in the palm of his right hand*

[11:22] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Walker] not if they read minds its not pessimisitic

[11:22] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I would not call it two faced so much as cautious.  After all, we are not certain what we may be up against should their intentions be less than exemplary."

[11:22] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Cautious is find..be open about dat caution and vwhy.

[11:22] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Or they will know

[11:22] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Dinna smile and look ta backstab,

[11:23] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "No one has said anything about betraying them."

[11:23] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I agree. We will be open with our intentions. If we can make contact and establish a diplomatic mission, then we will. But if it is a risk to remain, or they do not want us here, then we leave.

[11:23] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: The lights on the bridge and on every deck surge and dim and then flicker for several moments

[11:23] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -finishes changing and slams his locker closed before silently limping toward the small desk in the back area-

[11:23] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Uh oh..."

[11:23] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel glances up as the lights surge.*

[11:23] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks down at his console.* What?

[11:23] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: Here we go.

[11:24] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [walker] again...Veral is it...I think she is ....what they

[11:24] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: the*

[11:24] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: *He glances up to the ceiling then gives a quick look to Seb as he does his routine checkup*

[11:24] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: I quote" The key to a good negotiation is to talk as if you trust someone, but act as if they're about to stab you in the gut."

[11:24] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: and all returns to normal

[11:24] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -stops halfway there and looks around the room, then turns back to regard Decia-

[11:24] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -shakes her head- Gear them up

[11:24] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: What was the cause of that?

[11:24] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Dat ain;t gonna vworx here...surest vway for any talks ta fall apart.

[11:25] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel tapped away at her console, making sure that their weapons were still functional.*

[11:25] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: What is going on?

[11:25] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Decia] =^= team to back to the armory

[11:25] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I suppose this is the stab in the gut.

[11:25] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --looks up as the lights flicker and wonders what that was about.--

[11:25] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Team Two*

[11:26] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: *He rotates on his bench ad begins gearing up at a moderate pace*

[11:26] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [grant] Yep this is it we are gonna die

[11:26] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] It was like a disco

[11:26] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -looks at his team and points to the lockers, trudging back to his own locker and opens it up, reversing the process he just completed-

[11:26] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Top] Lets go cut the chater and gear up

[11:26] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -looks to see if there was a root cause for the power surge-

[11:26] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Weapons and shields are still functioning, captain.  The surge did not seem to affect them."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: *Starts up the sensors to scan for exterior influences on the ship.*

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: roll shan, and val

[11:28] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= Oddjob..did Sparky plug in here hairdrier down dhere again?!

[11:28] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --slowly looks around the room, looking to see if anything is out of place.--

[11:28] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *flips his lucky coin*

[11:28] [DOIC3] Spencer@Demoncherub: --shrugs--

[11:28] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -grunts- Capn'...da surge was causes by an extenrla scan of some sort.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "We were hit with a huge sensor sweep, ma'am. It came from the planet and it was 23 square miles wide."

[11:29] [DOIC2] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Odd Job] =^= That wasnt us Boss..even had Scrappy double check to make sure Harry wasnt messing around...all systems were uneffected by it though

[11:29] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I suspected as much. Did we suffer any damage?

[11:29] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] 's jaw drops "the sensor sweep was from a source 23 square miles wide?'

[11:30] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: =^= Vright carry on. Oh, vwe might have company soon, so try ta look presentable.

[11:31] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Why would they have something like that so big?"

[11:31] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: No damage capn', just the light flickered..nothin' more.

[11:31] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] I have no idea

[11:31] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: A singular facility. Megastructures are rare, but not unheard of.

[11:31] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: *he finishes gearing up by putting on his helmet last*

[11:31] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I wonder if perhaps to scan things of a severely long distance away...

[11:31] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: I dunno..maybe same vreason vwe been trying to scan da system and as planet...just a guess...

[11:32] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Perhaps as part of how they even knew of us?

[11:32] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] With such a beam they know each and every inch of the ship and all of our data stored in one sweep

[11:32] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Dhey just said vwe arrived due to our curios natuing matching thier own...

[11:32] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "I wouldn't doubt that."

[11:32] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: and now jur acting..surprised.

[11:32] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -finishes gearing up and pulls a stim from his kit injecting it into his arm. He closes his eyes as the pain in his body numbs. He tosses the empty injector into his locker and grabs his helmet-

[11:32] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Not surprised...just amazed...and blown away -chuckles-

[11:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't think our curious nature involves such intensive scans, m'am.

[11:33] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: A level of privacy would be expected.

[11:33] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon frowns.*

[11:33] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: They did also talk about knowing the truth.

[11:33] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: It is possible they are incredibly paranoid as a people.

[11:33] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -looks to Decia- Deployment?

[11:33] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: I dunno Angelboy..we don;t plenty of unwatned scanning...if vwe had tool of dat punch..ju betcha dhey be jused.

[11:33] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: We showed up unnannounced on thier doorstep.

[11:33] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: This would explain the great deal of cloaking.

[11:34] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -sighs and shakes her head- We are not on alert...but i want us ready

[11:34] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Surely we aren't the first to show up as guests.

[11:34] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Possibly. But I suspect it's been awhile since anyone has solved that puzzle.

[11:34] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] annnd we are now being hailed...by someone called Archon Yarl

[11:35] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Those who came before us may not have had the same good intentions."

[11:35] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: *he leans on his locker as he waits for new orders*

[11:35] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: On screen then.

[11:36] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -silently grabs his rifle, closes his locker quietly this time, then returns to the benches without another word-

[11:36] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -does so and a Woman in what looks like black armor with high spiked shouder pads appears- I am Defender Archon Yarl...I am to speak now with Captain Joyaus Dalun

[11:38] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks up attentively at the viewscreen.U8

[11:38] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I am Captain Joyaus Dalun. Captain of the Federation Starship Sentinel. Good day.

[11:38] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -bows her horned head and bares an impressive array of fangs- I will speak with you...who are your council of warriors?

[11:40] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Starfleet captains are called upon for every task, from science, to diplomacy, to war. As such, my normal command staff are sufficient by our standards. You will speak with myself and my Executive>

[11:40] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: >officer.

[11:40] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -frowns- Where is this Varel? Demor? Decia? Adryan?

[11:41] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *A pointed brow rises once again.*

[11:41] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] I may not speak with them as your scientists spoke with Traal?

[11:41] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Varel, and Demor are aboard. Decia and Adryan are below decks attending to their duties.

[11:41] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -turns around looking at the view screen-

[11:42] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -points at Varel and Demor- Lieutenants Varel and Demor.

[11:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -bows her head to Varel [demor is below decks]-

[11:42] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She inclined her head respectfully.*  "Archon," *she intoned.*

[11:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Looks back to Joy- She speaks for the others?

[11:43] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Capn'  If ju want properly honor her..might vwat to all up Aegis and Gladius...err..Decia and Adryan.

[11:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -chuckles at the nicknames-

[11:44] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon operates his console for a moment.*

[11:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Is this Cameron...the pilot?

[11:45] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: You're probably. =^= Mr. Sebatharan, fetch Decia and proceed to the bridge. -tapping again and looking at Yarl- Yes. You need not worry about worth of warriors here. Every member of my crew has been>

[11:45] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks up at that, his face going a bit ashen.*

[11:45] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] Mr RyanDryam you play fetch like Spot?!

[11:45] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] chuckles-

[11:45] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: >blooded. While some member worlds follow caste systems, Starfleet itself is not. We are all expected to fight in our own defense and the defense of others.

[11:45] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I am...he.

[11:45] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -smiles and covers her grin and looks to Seb- Fetch me?

[11:45] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: *You're probably right. I'm still feeling unwell sorry ))

[11:45] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: They certainly do know quite a bit about us.

[11:46] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Unfortuantely, it's likely they had at least some access to both our minds and our computers during this entire ordeal.

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] An honor Pilot...you have flown in battle against us

[11:46] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon blinks.* I have?

[11:46] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Assume they know what we know unless otherwise addressed.

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] not this craft...but another

[11:47] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: When?

[11:47] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] not long by your measure of time

[11:47] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She seems to go still at the notion of having her mind read. Lots of secrets up in that kitty noggin...*

[11:47] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -looks up, then to his commbadge. He keys an acknowledgement but doesn't verbally respond. He stands, ignoring the comments made by his team and quietly heads for the armory exit-

[11:47] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] a mistake was made an error in our defender's choice...you made them pay with their lives Cameron of th Sentinel

[11:48] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Oh shit...-softly as her eyes go wide-

[11:48] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods, the realization coming over him.* Archon K'Dok...they were worthy adversaries.

[11:48] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] they were blind fools...

[11:48] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *looks suspiciously at the Archon*

[11:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Top take command and be ready

[11:49] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* The last thing K'Dok heard...he wanted to know the name of the warrior who had beaten him.

[11:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -follows him out and up the bridge-

[11:49] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I did give him that.

[11:49] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: *he watches Seb leave and still remains silent and still*

[11:49] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -folds her arms- Like I said. We're all blooded.

[11:49] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -enters the turbolift and waits for Decia-

[11:49] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] A name remembered in the defender link Cameron of the Sentinel...you honored a fool...but in doing so honored us all

[11:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -nods to Joy- You kept him around then?

[11:50] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *grumbles internally*

[11:51] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Veral...of Vulcan yes?

[11:52] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She clasped her hands behind her back.*  "That I am."

[11:52] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks back to the Vulcan, having not known her name until now.*

[11:52] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: He has given me no reason not to.

[11:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] I ask of you...do what end wil you go to to defend this ship? How far would you go in battle?

[11:53] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *seems to be getting increasingly uncomfortable*

[11:53] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon gives the captain a smile at that.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Smiles proud of Jon-

[11:53] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "It is my duty to lay down my life, if necessary, to ensure the safety of this vessel, Archon," *she said evenly and without hesitation.*

[11:54] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -nods- and of punitive retrubutions for such an attack...how far would you go for vengence of such an attac on you?

[11:55] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -looks over at Varel, curious about the answer-

[11:55] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *A brow rose.*  "As a Vulcan, I have no need for such revenge.  I would not retaliate unless ordered to."

[11:55] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -enters the bridge in full tac armor and slung rifle, a small sword at her side-

[11:56] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -quirks a brow- and if ordered to fire on helpless innocents or the undefended?

[11:56] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -motions to both Seb and Decia..and then toward the view screen and the conversation at hand-

[11:56] [DOIC1] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -enters similarly fitted, except with a combat knife, not a sword-

[11:56] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I would protest such an action as illogical and unnecessary.  It is not the Starfleet way."

[11:57] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: If it matters, I would not order such an illegal and immoral order either.

[11:57] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: -whispers to them the Yarl is asking question of Sentinel's "warriors"

[11:58] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -nods to her and looks to Decia and Seb with a more familiar looking gaze= Decia of Magna Roma...I ask of you, to waht end will you go to defend this ship and her crew? how far would you go in

[11:58] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: battle?

[11:58] [DOIC1] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -looks to Shantal then back to the screen and just quietly stares-

[11:58] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks back at Decia and Seb, not having noticed them enter the bridge.*

[11:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -steps forward and closes her fist and places it with a thump over her chest plate at heart level- I would fight to defend everyone aboard with my dying breath and take as many of those

[11:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: attacking with me that I could.

[12:00] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -nods- and what of retrubution for such an attack,,,how far would you...

[12:01] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -Interupts her-  unless ordered to disarm or disable premtively...Starfleet takes no such punative actions againt he innocent or those who cant defend themsevles

[12:01] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *looks at Yarl skeptically as he rubs his lucky coin in between his fingers*

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I would stand against any who ordered such an murderous act

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Adryan of Trill do you also make such claims?

[12:03] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -peers at her kinsman while awaiting the answer-

[12:03] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {walker] -braces herself for his answers-

[12:03] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles at Decia, proud of her answer.*

[12:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -os tandng almost noble and defiant as she stares at Yarl-

[12:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: is standing*

[12:04] [DOIC1] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -Just stares and doesn't respond-

[12:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -to Decia- Why does he not answer

[12:05] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks annoying to Seb.*

[12:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] I have already answered for our teams

[12:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia}*

[12:05] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *annoyingly

[12:06] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -nods at that answers- So these are your warrior council Captain? They have your trust?

[12:07] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks back to the captain.*

[12:07] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: These are as close to an equivalent as we have, yes. My seniormost security and tactical staff.

[12:09] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel looked vaguely bemused at that.  Vaguely.*

[12:10] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] They have each answered as honestly as you...I am impressed. -she draws hersef up- before i continue...one personal question..their answers do cover the...creature you carry aboard?

[12:11] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon stiffins at that, looking up with a scowl on his face.*

[12:11] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I do not know the minds of my people. Nor do I consider the thought of knowing them. They are free to their beliefs. I however ask that they all be willing, as I am willing, to uphold that code.

[12:12] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: While my people have telepaths, not all of us are. There are privacy concerns.

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -aburptly steps forward and calls out- Come for her Yarl..and find out!

[12:12] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Decia!

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {walker] her eeys go wide as saucer-

[12:12] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon blinks.*

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -is taken aback and just stares-

[12:13] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -holds her ground and stares at Yarl defiantly-

[12:13] [DOIC1] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -turns his head to look at Decia then back to the screen and pulls his own blade and points along his view-

[12:13] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -looks to Seb and then to Varel- You as well..if we came by force?

[12:14] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Errr...I think what the Lieutenant is trying to say...is that K'rika is a member of our family. We will defend our family.

[12:14] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -looks over at Decia- Decia, that was inappropriate. -turning back to Yarl- I have no intention of handing over any member of our crew, civilian, officer or otherwise. All aboard are federation>

[12:14] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel shook her head disapprovingly at the display.*

[12:14] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: >citizens and have all the rights and protections as such.

[12:15] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -just stares now, making her emphasis clear-

[12:15] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -laugh suddenly- So Captain...what you are saying is the same thing your warriors just did...only more politely?

[12:17] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: More diplomatically. I will, and have, laid down my life to protect this ship and it's crew. That is my ultimate responsibility. We are a crew of warriors, and while i may not be the greatest warrior>

[12:17] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -looks to Decia, Jon, Varel, Seb and finally to Joy-

[12:17] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: >amoung us, I like to think myself the most determined and stubborn.

[12:18] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon winces as he looks down at something.*

[12:18] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -laughs warmly- I saw and heard what is expected Captain! you train your warriors right...the Pilot seeks to appease and doge looking for an opening...the Tactcian gives nothing away..cold

[12:19] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: yet calculating...and your soldiers dare me to try to test their resolve...and you..the voice of reason or you shall release them on any attackers...-laughs and nods- We are indeed very much alike

[12:20] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Yarl] -laughs- as much as I despise this...I owe Traal an apology

[12:20] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: *seems pleased to some extent that he was exempted from the weird telepathic shenangians*

[12:20] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] you did not even take my baiting of our defense sensor sweep

[12:21] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It was quite...unexpected.

[12:21] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] You are an honorable group Captain...as such I am prepared to show you now what has been hidden...are you ready for our truth?

[12:22] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Does that truth involve blasting us out of the sky?

[12:22] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -laughs and shakes her head- No...no longer

[12:23] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Lieutenant C'son are you there?

[12:23] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon's eyes go wide as saucers as the word 'longer' comes out of her mouth.*

[12:23] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I am, yes. *She walks back in view of the viewscreen, looking at Jon, who seems to be on crack*

[12:24] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She then turns to the screen* You wish to speak with me?

[12:24] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Your words and thoughts are now understood...do you still possess the Puzzle the Scientists caste sent you?

[12:24] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks nervously at C'son, not sure of what this 'truth' is that was about to be revealed.*

[12:24] [DOIC1] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -sheaths his knife and looks over at Decia, then back to the screen-

[12:24] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I do, yes.

[12:24] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -nods to him and steps back some to where she was keeping her gaze on Yarl-

[12:25] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Good...in the code for your sensor increases..re-enter the equation sequences and see our home as it truly is

[12:26] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -bows her head to the Caitian- You are one scientist as stubborn as any of us Liuetenant,,,we heard your words and now believe them

[12:27] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: They are of a logical standing. Both can exist together. I myself did not think so as I was younger, but now I find it to be truth. I shall do so. *She nods, and goes to plug in the code at her --

[12:27] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: --station.*

[12:28] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -raises her eyebrows at hearing this. Her own tension is relieved at least for a moment-

[12:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon eyes the viewscreen intently, curious of what they are about to discover.*

[12:29] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -the puzzle chirps happily and pays a happy little tune from C'sons console as she does so-

[12:30] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I must ask why it makes such a noise when i get the chance...*She says to herself.*

[12:30] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: all around the bridge sensors and readouts hum and alter screns fill with new data, the word changes from a lush green new world to one of brown and lava streams charred and cratered yet..criss crosse

[12:31] [DOIC1] Shantal@Arnimane: Oy...vwelcome to hell...

[12:31] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks down at his navigational sensors and nearly falls off his chair.*

[12:32] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: by majestic towers and cities of white crystals, in orbit are hundred of starships mostly civilian sleek ad bulky all chrome and shiney, and dozens of miliatary looking craft similar to the escorts

[12:32] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: lashed out at the Endevour and Sentine years before the Iconian war

[12:32] [DOIC1] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -cocks an eyebrow slightly-

[12:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Oh my god...

[12:32] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Not even the homes of our gods were as such... Were they Adryan...

[12:33] [DOIC1] Victor Jackson Springfield@atemporal: I didn't know what I was expecting, but certainly not that.

[12:33] [DOIC] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: only the main planet seems intact save for the three gas giants..even their moons are rubble fields

[12:33] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks up at the Yarl* It really was you...

[12:33] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] a home torn apart by war....now in peace

[12:33] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Quite impressive," *Varel remarked dryly from her box.*

[12:33] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Its so beautiful."

[12:34] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -nods to Val's words- Why thank you Lieutenant,...we treasure al that remains

[12:34] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Captain...permit me one personal question?

[12:35] [DOIC1] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -his eyes move from object to object in view-

[12:35] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -watches Adryan for a moment after her statement, then looks back at Yarl- You may.

[12:35] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -seems to note the ships and the system and remains silent-

[12:35] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] The creat...the girl..K

[12:36] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] The creat...the girl..K'rika...is she the threat of old to us?

[12:37] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *Attempts to fiddle with something that just came up on her screen from the puzzle.*

[12:38] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: We found her sealed away in a box. Trapped for Two hundred thousand years or more. She's young, she was scared, and much harm had come to her. Now she wants to live in peace, and has proven to be no>

[12:38] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: >harm or danger to anyone anymore.

[12:38] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: I believe that it's irrelevant whether she was that or not.

[12:38] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -nods- That is now good enough for the Defender caste

[12:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Your ship and her are now at this moment under the umbrella of my protection and domaine

[12:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Welcome to 'Our New Home

[12:39] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *Hmms to herself, trying to see if she might be able to figure it out on her own.*

[12:39] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles at that.*

[12:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Welcome to 'Our New Home' Captain and crew of the Sentinel

[12:40] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Thank you. That is all that we ask. You'll forgive her if she doesn't want to visit. She is afraid, for herself and for us.

[12:41] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -nods- Understandable...i do hope...i do hope to meet her if only to help her find peace at last

[12:41] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Perhaps she only knew of you in the midst of war.

[12:41] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] If there are no questions Captain...I will end this and make my report and my position change on this topic made clear to all

[12:42] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: That will be her decision, But we shall see. There is much trauma and pain in her life, forgive her if she refuses.

[12:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] if it was that long ago...then yes..that was all we knew...back when we were known as "The Others'

[12:42] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: And thank you, there is nothign I can think of for now.

[12:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] dealers of death and destruction for our iconian masters

[12:43] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shudders at the mention of 'Iconian masters'.*

[12:43] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She walks back into the vew screen's...view.* Might I ask of you something relating to this puzzle?

[12:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -bows her head- Captain...Lieutenants Varel, Cameron , Decia and Ensign Adryan..I thank you and...-stops as C'son returns-

[12:45] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks back to C'son curiously.*

[12:45] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: It has provided an extra step to it. It asks for a religious code. Might you know what it is?

[12:45] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: She fought along with us against the Iconians. She's no friend of thiers any longer And claims to have not been one then either.

[12:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] -laughs and shakes her head- No Lieutenant...you must be as convincing to the Religous caste as you have been wth us

[12:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] to get what you in my opinion all deserve

[12:47] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She nods* I see. Thank you for your answer.

[12:48] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] Just be as ...well as you Lieutenant with them and I wish you all luck...you have our support and protection...Captain good evening you will hear from the religous caste in a day or so

[12:48] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Yarl] once they are done chewing nails over my report

[12:48] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods his head respectfully.*

[12:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -she signs off and the screen returns to the view of the ruined system-

[12:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Wow

[12:50] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well...that was...something.

[12:50] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "This is something.* *passively scanning EVERYTHING.*

[12:50] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: That went a lot better than I expected.

[12:51] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Decia, Adryan. Thank you. If you have anything to add, please do so. Otherwise return to your duties.,

[12:51] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: *She looks to Jon* Mr. Cameron...Have you been experiencing hallucinations, dizzyness, nausea, or popping in your ears?

[12:52] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon gives C'son a strange look.* Uhhh...not really?

[12:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Decia] -looks to Seb at that-

[12:52] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: Good. *She doesn't speak of it ever again.*

[12:53] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks over at C'son, baffled.*

[12:53] [DOIC1] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -nods to the Captain and heads for the turbolift, ignoring Decia's look-

[12:54] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -fist over her chest- Captain -turns and follows Seb out-

[12:55] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Next on the list of possible recruits... a Damn trill so I can have a real conversation with one of my own people... -nods to herself- Great job everyone.

[12:55] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon chuckles.* Thank you captain.

[12:56] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -rides the turbolift in silence as it makes it way to the security deck-

[12:56] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Thank you, ma'am."

[12:57] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I think you, Captain.

[12:57] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel peers down at her console, checking the number of ships and installations that were set up around the planet.*

[12:58] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: So now we wait for their priest caste?

[12:59] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Looks like it."

[12:59] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "So whose going to speak with them, besides the captain?"

[12:59] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: From the sound of it...they already know every single one of us...I would imagine they will request someone.

[1:00] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: After the words I had presented them...I would imagine scientists.

[1:01] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I have been able to get a reading on their military capabilities.  They appear to have roughly one hundred and twenty escort-sized military ships with considerable firepower."

[1:02] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well...it's a good thing they like us then.

[1:03] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Vin was right

[1:03] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Please remember that they are telepathic and technologically superior to us. They will know things we don't expect them to know. So Expect them to already know.

[1:03] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] We earned their friendship

[1:04] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* It is still a bit disconcerting, captain.

[1:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker[ they had to have been just as worried about us

[1:04] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "Can't lie to a telepathic society, its kind of pointless."

[1:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [walker] to  Val- That is what Shantal was saying

[1:04] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: And being knocked off guard like that will be a detriment.

[1:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -chuckles- We shook them up

[1:05] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] So how long are you going to stew with this Sebetharen?

[1:05] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: They revealed their true state to us...that had to mean something significant, otherwise they wouldn't bother to hide like that.

[1:06] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -doesn't answer and continues looking straight ahead-

[1:06] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Well there's a couple reasons. One of which is that we're no longer a security risk. It sounds like we're making friends, but I will also say that it could be that they know we cannot harm them either

[1:06] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: We have no less reason to be vigilant and ready. But I am more hopeful than concerned.

[1:06] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia]-frowns- what is this? Really , the treatment of no talking?

[1:07] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Indeed; until we are contacted further, anything further would be mere speculation."

[1:07] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Agreed...I...Captain!

[1:08] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -smiles- Ma'am!

[1:08] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -doesn't say anything for several moments as the doors open. As he steps out into the hall he simply says- Nothing to say.

[1:08] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] We just got our ACCI Feed and subpace communications back

[1:08] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: So we can let Starfleet know what's going on now?

[1:09] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -shakes her head- Fine...if that is how you wish to proceed

[1:09] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Decia steps out and follows him muttering softly-

[1:09] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] Alt...what about a triceratops?

[1:09] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: I believe it best we inform them of the situation, but not the location just yet. More of Starfleet coming before we finish diplomacy  may seem like a threat.

[1:10] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Temple] -groans and hits the back of his head on the locker door-

[1:10] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -stop and turns around in the middle of the hall and stares at her-

[1:10] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Yes. Please go ahead.

[1:10] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -stops and meets his gaze full on-

[1:10] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "It would indeed be unwise to appear as though we are summoning reinforcements as soon as we found out their capabilities."

[1:10] [DOIC1] Stingray@Gothicfoxx: "C'Son, i'm going to continue scanning from the science department. I'll give your seat back to you now." *grins*

[1:10] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: *He picks his head up from a nap* hmm what?

[1:11] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -he continues staring at her for a moment- /What/?

[1:11] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] the one with the three horns on its pointyhead...they like to eat grass

[1:11] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: That is quite alright, Ms. Stingray. I feel I may need to meditate before we are contacted.

[1:11] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -smirks- you stopped and looked at me...so you tell me?

[1:11] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Hmmm.

[1:12] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: No Endel.. No pet. *He takes his helmet off and uses it as a pillow*

[1:12] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Keep the message simple. Let them know that we are alright and that the issue delicate and to Not send anyone.

[1:12] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -sends the updates but does not include the locations-

[1:12] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -shakes his head, rolls his eyes and turns back around and continues on his way to the armory-

[1:12] [DOIC1] T'Sirak M'rara C'son@Cute_Girl: It would be most agreeable that I keep my mind sharp and focused. I have found that in my experience, situations such as these are harder for me.

[1:12] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: That will keep Starfleet from sending reinforcemetns to look for us before they're ready. -Joy turns and winks at Varel.-

[1:12] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -sighs- I called you a stubborn overprotective jack ass!

[1:13] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She looked quizzically at the captain's wink.*

[1:13] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] all updates sent...but i did not give away our position captain

[1:14] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks back to Alice* Anything we miss while we were dark?

[1:15] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -gasps- yes...the Adagio was ambushed in the Hriomi Cluster

[1:15] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: Top even said no pets. I have no intention of owning a pet.

[1:15] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] Are you afriad of pets?

[1:15] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: It's within thier comfort zone, Lieutenant.

[1:15] [DOIC5] Alton@the5of435: No. *he says calmly*

[1:15] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: What?

[1:15] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -stops and turns back around. He almost smiles, but that hint drops quickly- Do you wonder why were here?

[1:16] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] What?

[1:16] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Who?

[1:17] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Why. We're. Here.

[1:17] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Of course they were. What do we know?

[1:17] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon gets up and walks over to Alice's console, with great concern on his face.

[1:17] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *

[1:19] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Decia] what do you mean? you mean....philospocally? Like if its one of the Son's great mysteries? You mean why are we here? re we the product of some cosmic coincidience? Or do I truy believe in the

[1:19] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Son? Who watches over us all with a plan for each one of us...is this what you are aksing of me? Now? here?

[1:20] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -looks confused- What? No! Here. On this ship.

[1:20] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -blinks and stammers some- Oh...Oh! Umm.yeah...

[1:21] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: What happened?

[1:22] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Hard to say for now...for some reason the missing Goblin Shark attacked the Adagio....they took heavy casualites on their bridge and in main engineering

[1:22] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] The Adagio took the rogue starship boarded it and captured what was left of the crew

[1:23] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon frowns.* Why would one of the rogue Salvation ships attack them...

[1:23] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: For example, the events leading up to now don't accurately portray my placement. I should have long been stripped of commission or, I don't know, In prison.

[1:23] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Is Captain Talia okay?

[1:25] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] No word..she was listed as critially wounded

[1:25] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -frowns- Sebetharen, you are a war hero...you are the twit who denied his rank and medals

[1:26] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Probably not dead, too stubborn to die.

[1:26] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {walker] wow....no listed KIA's

[1:27] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Meaningless objects. I am no hero of anything, war or otherwise. I'm like everyone else, doing my job. Surviving doesn't make you a hero.

[1:27] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: But regardless, the things I've done to survive, and to make sure others survive, don't exactly fit in with Starfleets principals.

[1:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: The Adagio is battle tested.

[1:27] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Told you.

[1:28] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -holds her ground- Sebetheran not everyone can do what you do...that makes you special

[1:29] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] No you fought with honor as lng as I have known you

[1:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks over at Alice.* It's a good thing you didn't transmit our location...if they ambused the Adagio...I'd imagine someone is looking for us, too.

[1:29] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Something else....they sent a ....-gasps-

[1:29] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: This isn't a debate on my "accomplishments". It's an assessment of reasoning. By /law/ I should have been kicked out for what I did years ago. I never really thought about it until recently--

[1:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: What?

[1:30] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Captain...Jon...the Adagio was set up...someone sent the Goblin Shark their shield mdulation ferquencies

[1:30] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] everything on them except the prefix code

[1:30] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: How?!

[1:31] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: and it dawned on me. I'm like more dangerous out there, than in here. Where they can keep tabs on me. And you. And others touched by Salvations sticky fingers.

[1:31] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Someone aboard either betrayed them, or their systems were hacked.

[1:31] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {walker] -shakes her head- Had to be someone in command...their shieds and armor were specially modifed for nebula ops...so the ambush failed

[1:31] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] the enemy didnt know about the special modifications

[1:32] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Then I considered the alternate, why not thrown in some hole and forgetten about?

[1:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Starfleet set them up to be ambushed?!?!

[1:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks atonished.*

[1:32] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] ...the war

[1:33] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -make a face- Not starfleet Jon..but someone close to them or an indvidual did

[1:33] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Not just the war.

[1:33] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Looks that is my take on this data as a Strategy Ops officer

[1:34] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: -still looks calm and nonplussed- Hmmm.

[1:34] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -shakes her head- We've always been at war

[1:34] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: We should modify our shield frequencies and have presets ready for the second we leave this area and resume patrol.

[1:35] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: That's a good idea. I might also make some slight course corrections as well.

[1:35] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Well, in a sense your are correct. We were experiments once. And a bunch of rejects were thrown on the same ship in the hopes they'd get themselves killed and end a few loose ends.

[1:35] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Captain i think they were ambushed to stop from arresting two rogue Salvation agents

[1:35] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: But something Gemini said struck me as odd.

[1:35] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I am more than that...as are you

[1:36] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] What did she say...you never told me you et with those monsters

[1:37] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Makes sense. Regardless, it means that anyone who stood against them, especialyl us, are still targetrs.

[1:37] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* As you asid...an individual maybe, or multiple individuals...who have an investment in those agents...set the Adagio up to be ambushed.

[1:37] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [strike that read the report]

[1:38] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't think we would see eye to eye with them.

[1:38] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] this is over that report you sent me, all of this?

[1:38] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: It's part of it. There is a lot I kept off it.

[1:39] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Just be ready. Lets not alarm our hosts.

[1:39] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: But what Gemini said was when we didn't do as expected they started activating their Operatives to spy and harrass us. Dalton was the first, Spencer was another, the lsit goes on.

[1:40] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] we dealt and overcame each of them

[1:40] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: They attempted to engage programs they had more or less chalked up to being failures and see how we'd react, yes. But you're missing the point of this.

[1:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smirks and looks over at Varel* The way our new....uhhh...Lieutenant described their firepower...I think anyone who came in with hostile intentions would find themselves making a serious error in

[1:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: judgment.

[1:40] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -frowns reading a new intelligence report-

[1:41] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -idly- Yes yes...im sure Varel is ...yes..right

[1:41] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: I said we were once experiments. That's not true. I think we're still experiments. We keep getting corraled towards certain events.

[1:41] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks at Alice quizzically.*

[1:41] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: We should be pleased, though. INcredibly powerful and advanced, but unwilling ot make a mark on the galaxy. Fallen, but at peace with itself.

[1:42] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] ...they want us back in the armor...-says with a far away look-....

[1:42] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -looks to Seb- to face Chorus

[1:42] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: It's one theory.

[1:42] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I do not need that armor!

[1:42] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel was absently going over data on the system's defences, in case she'd missed something.  She didn't seem to have been paying attention to Alice and Jon.*

[1:43] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Nor I.. but with the limited knowledge of whatI know of it, I created a simulation. it went poorly. Without actual data I don't know if I'm under or over compensating. It is believed that what it--

[1:44] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: wears completely dwarfs the armored frame used by the Adagio by a large scale.

[1:44] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: That.. and there's no information on the Chorus itself really.

[1:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -at his voice whipes her screen clear back to her regular feeds-

[1:45] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] what about an alligator? they are cute?

[1:47] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: One of the questions I have is, was this foreseen by the Administrator, or is someone else doing this?

[1:47] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] The Adagio Paladin armor is more of an augmentation exeskelton

[1:47] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He stares at Endel bewildered* Cute? Alligator? Fine, you want me to have a pet? I'll get one right now.

[1:47] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] a walking weapons platform for infantry support

[1:47] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] Where are you going to find a pet at this hour?

[1:48] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *he stands up and searches in his locker for a spare shirt, with his knife he cuts a face into his shirt and hangs it in front of his locker* There, his name is Boots.

[1:48] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Well, what would you call ICONs frame? It's intended to completely interface with the user, who is already supposedly an augmented subject. It could be any size and be designed to move as a person

[1:48] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] Aww he is adoreable! -to Boots- Hello Boots! can I be tour friend too?

[1:49] [DOIC1] Joyaus Dalun@ThanatosRa: Consider it and keep me appraised. I'm going to take a nap in my office. [Insert senior officer here], you have the Conn.

[1:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] but the paladin is user controled no neural interface

[1:49] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Which makes it slower.

[1:50] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *he pauses and looks at his shirt, then looks to Endel* He says ok.

[1:50] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] and useless to us

[1:50] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] Yay! ...oh Hey Alt...your new buddy says he wants you to have a new pet!

[1:50] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] Yep..saw that coming

[1:51] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Well, considering there's a huge buffer between the electrical impulses to the brain and the movement of the machine itself, I'd say yes. Large disadvantage in response time.

[1:51] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon walks over to Varel's console.* Hi there.

[1:51] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: No Endel, he did not. You must've heard him wrong. *He shoots a look at Sissia*

[1:51] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] ...it would be like fighting a tank with swords

[1:51] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *Varel looked up.*  "Can I help you, Lieutenant?" *she asked evenly.*

[1:52] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -smiles at alt- I dunno that is what I thought I heard

[1:52] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I uhhh...I don't believe we've been properly introduced.

[1:52] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: That is literally the case. -he rubs his ribs a little as the stim starts wearing off- The unfortunate thing is, we may not have the time to look the armor to analyze it.

[1:52] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] -to Boots- what was that boots? oh no...i do not think...huh? what yes I love Lucky Charms in the morning....WHAT? you do too>.why that is amazing!

[1:53] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She pressed a few buttons on the console.*  "No, we have not.  My name is Varel; I transferred here a few days ago."

[1:53] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: The Chorus is out there. He's causing damage.

[1:53] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He drops himself onto the bench, face covered, and shaking his head* I give up.

[1:53] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Yes...and he is Jonathan's brother

[1:53] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I am Lieutenant Jonathan Cameron, Flight Ops.

[1:54] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] akert the media princess creampuff just surrendered

[1:54] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: And someone who put you, me, and untold others through experiments of which there were many casualties.

[1:54] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] Why YES I use toothpaste too....yes...but not on my teeth....youa re the Same ? NO WAY!?

[1:55] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -leans down to Alt covered face-

[1:56] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Well, Lieutenant Cameron, I look forward to our future collaboration aboard this ship."

[1:56] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* As do I. You can call me Jon.

[1:56] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: As far as I'm concerned, Joshua Cameron was a monster before he ever became the Chorus.

[1:57] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia[ yes I read the reports...a monster once.but now a victim as we were

[1:57] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *The informality gave her momentary pause.*  "Very well, if you would prefer.  Do you have any observations that may assist a newcomer to this ship?"

[1:58] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Just because he was subjected to the experiments doesn't absolve what he helped do to us. And we have no evidence it was even done /to/ him. Maybe he wanted it.

[1:58] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Try not to violate any Starfleet regulations on your first shift. *He chuckles at her.*

[1:59] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I never dsaid a word about absolution Sebetharen

[2:00] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He shifts uncomfortably with away from Sissia and looks at her bizarrely*

[2:00] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I would endeavour to do such aboard any Starfleet vessel," *Varel said dryly.*  "The... security forces, however.  Do they typically act in such a manner during diplomatic situations?"

[2:00] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -smirks at the look and sits back-

[2:01] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia[ we know from Doctor Spencer he was an unwilling victim

[2:01] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -the inner rage starts seeping out- Then stop talking about him like he was a victim! He's not! He is and will remain a monster. -exhales sharply, looking off to the side- Unfortunately, if we engage

[2:02] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: him in /any/ capacity we'll be doing exactly what they want. Armor, no armor. We will be tested.

[2:02] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Errr...ideally, you don't really involve special operations in diplomatic settings.

[2:02] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Delta...and Lieutenant Decia are very effective at what they do.

[2:02] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *With a straight face, all serious like* What was that.

[2:03] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: And what does Spencer know? She has so many holes in her memory that it could float.

[2:04] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Perhaps they should be briefed on proper decorum when in such situations.  Had the conditions been different it would not have ended well for any of us."

[2:05] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] If it was against his will he is a victim Sebetaren...so forget spencer and forget the testing...maybe we do not need to be the ones to face him

[2:05] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Yeah. We can jsut nuke him from orbit.

[2:05] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* Fortunately...I think it kinda worked.

[2:06] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "This time, perhaps."  *She gave a slight shake of her head as well.*

[2:07] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -shakes her head- No..that is not what i meant and you know this,..we have another dpeartments to help us...we will need them

[2:08] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -blinks innocently- What this? -leans over and does it again-

[2:08] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -some of the others sits and look over now-

[2:08] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Why isn't my idea viable? Only he gets hurt. Correction. Killed. What other possibility is there?

[2:08] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] why kill him if we have no need too?

[2:09] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: That /thing/ isn't human. It's not going to listen to reason.

[2:10] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] again I never said we reason with it

[2:10] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I will say...that was out of character for the Lieutenant. She is normally quite reserved.

[2:10] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Turning red he shifts further away from Sissia, then he feels the eyes of the rest of delta* What do you all want now?

[2:10] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] look of all your talk about hating this new ship's compartmentilzation...why are you not eager to seek out aid from the other departments?

[2:10] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: It's a danger to keep alive, Decia. I... well. I think..

[2:11] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] In his current state I agree completely...Chorus must be stopped

[2:11] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Was it?  I wonder..."

[2:11] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It was. I know her quite well.

[2:12] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] but if there is a chance to properly drop him....cut down our risk and improve the odds f rescue...why not go that route>

[2:12] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: ?

[2:12] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Destroyed. Not just stopped. You can't undo something like this. Just like our... modifications can't be undone. Thanks to assholes like that I'm this... I don't know. Thing.

[2:12] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -scoffs from the other side of the bridge-

[2:12] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Would it be possible that our present encounter with this telepathic race could be altering her behaviour?"

[2:13] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] you are not a thing, you are a soldier you are Sebetaren Adryan still...and we do not know yet that this can not be undone

[2:13] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon doesn't even look back.* I don't think so...unfortunately I have prior experience in being...telepathically manipulated. I didn't feel any of that ehere.

[2:13] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *here

[2:13] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -scoffs from the other side of the bridge-

[2:14] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Top] Nuthin

[2:14] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Perhaps you are not, but it is not your behaviour that is uncharacteristic at present.  As far as I am aware."

[2:14] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: You know they're fused to our spinal columns, right? This strength I thought I had, how much of it is really mine? To make matters worse, I've got the older version.

[2:14] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Mattox] nothing! dont pay attention to me back!

[2:14] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] -groans- to go back to sleep keep it down creampuff!

[2:14] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] Spot Boot and I want ...COOKIES!

[2:15] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] Now that you ask a nice bowl of Pot Pourrie

[2:15] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Temple] to be put out of my misery

[2:15] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] It is yours

[2:16] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] the implants you speak of...they havent not effected you ..do oyu know how i know?

[2:16] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shrugs.* I had spoken with her before she came onto the bridge...she seemed fine then.

[2:16] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I think it was an attempt to let the Archon hear what she wanted to hear.

[2:16] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -Smiles to Alt- What you didnt like that?

[2:16] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: I'm sur eyou're going to tell me.

[2:17] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -scoffs from the other side of the bridge-

[2:17] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "I see.  Well, it was merely a theory.  One must keep an open mind to all possibilities."

[2:17] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *She looked over at Walker.*  "Was there something you wished to add?" *she asked drolly.*

[2:17] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] an open mind about Miss Perfect? Him...good Luck Varel

[2:18] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "What are your thoughts on the situation then?"

[2:18] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Ive not changed...there is no increase except normal incrimental ability growth since i left Magna Roma

[2:18] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -smirks at her tone and mutters about firing someone out of a torpedo tube-

[2:19] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon lowers his voice* You'll have to excuse Lieutenant Walker...she is particularly...touchy regarding the Lieutenant.

[2:19] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He looks at Sissia from the corner of his eye as he cups his hands oer his nose and shakes his head* You're acting all weird.

[2:19] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] Im bored

[2:19] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: *A brow rose.*  "I see, then they are rivals of some sort?"

[2:20] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia[ -stretches and looks to him- arent you?

[2:20] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: What? No...

[2:20] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Just a personality conflict.

[2:20] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -scoffs from the other side of the bridge-

[2:20] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "It would appear that the Lieutenant would protest that," *she remarked.*

[2:20] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: That can't be right. The implants were rated to increase the raw physical and mental prowess of their subjects, then amplify that through the armor.

[2:21] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon lets out a deep sigh.*

[2:21] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Well yea. *he nods*

[2:21] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Yes...do you not see...our mental link through our physical prowess..we were the source to augment the suit..the not the other way arouns

[2:22] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] so now you know the why...plus its cute watching you blush

[2:22] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon motions to Alice on the other side.* She is my fiancee.

[2:22] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Temple] BANG BANG BANG -off camera-

[2:23] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *All of a sudden he's become very interested in Temple*

[2:23] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "-Ah.  A personal matter, then."  *Varel dropped that subject like an unwanted baby.*

[2:24] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well, it was nice to meet you, Lieutenant.

[2:24] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: I get that, but the implants were detailed to augment /us/ Our raw ability. Some of their earliest tests showed a 125% increase in raw ability after implantation. I can only imagine--

[2:24] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: what the rating was for mine.. or yours.. or the Chorus was.

[2:25] [DOIC1] Varel@liorexus: "Indeed, and you as well."

[2:25] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Uh what? *he stammers*

[2:26] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon begins the long, slow walk across the bridge.*

[2:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon stops and stands beside her, looking like he is about to get an earful.*

[2:30] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -smirks and shakes her head not looking up at him-

[2:31] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: I just want to say I don't think.. "rescuing" Cameron is a possibility. Not that I particularly want to to begin with.

[2:33] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -singsong voice - You cant even introduce yoursefl to anyone new,,,without bringing up Miss perfect..can you?

[2:33] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Temple is currently bashing the back of his head over and over into his locker-

[2:33] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: She brought up what happened earlier.

[2:34] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] I said now you know the why and that I thought it was cute when you blush

[2:34] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -sets her jaw- Mmmmhm

[2:34] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: So we discussed it.

[2:35] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Is it due to the risk...or is it...due to what he did to us...to all of the subjects?

[2:35] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Yes.

[2:35] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He emphasizes the really part* I hope your really, really, really, pulling a joke on me now.

[2:35] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] and those early results were when the exoskeleton was worn Sebetharen

[2:36] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -leans closer- Does it truly matter one way or the other?

[2:36] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon changes to a very official tone.* What was your opinion on how the situatoin was handled by our Delta officers?

[2:37] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *situation

[2:37] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] - says flat out- Grossly Inappropriate

[2:38] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Leans away from her, remaining silent*

[2:38] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Be that as it may. -he sighed- I.. I think I.. /heard/ it.

[2:38] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: dsc w1vgy67mh1247

[2:38] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: mt

[2:39] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: How would you have handled it?

[2:39] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -primly- she had her chance to speak...the Archon was addressing the captain not to foot soldiers who serve no purpose on the ship any longer

[2:40] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: two*

[2:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: No purpose?

[2:40] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] What purpse do they serve now that the war is over...we have security dont we?

[2:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Look at what happened to the Adagio. There are still Salvation agents out there...is our security ready for one of those? Are they ready to try and pacify Josh if godforbid we have to fight him?

[2:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] I am not talking about the Adagio am I?

[2:42] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] what are you saying you to not believe in Tolar now?

[2:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Of course I believe in Tolar.

[2:43] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: He will keep this ship secure...but Delta are a different weapon.

[2:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] but what he needs your Saint Miss Perfect and her Grouchy Assed sidekick to save us all now?

[2:43] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Well.. heard might not be the right term. Felt. Felts closer. But I didn't program anything in the suit to begin with. It was jsut a shell set to mimick a predefined person.

[2:44] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] wait...your suit ...changed you?

[2:44] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -sneers now- The war is over time to put them back in their box, they are obsolete

[2:44] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: What? No. I told you. I ran a simulation. and I swear.. instead of just copying the combat movements of what I set it to.. I don't know.

[2:44] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon rolls his eyes.* When we have rogue Salvation agents potentially working with high level Starfleet officials, and a rampaging...killer...still out there?

[2:45] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon spits out killer as it it pains him greatly to say.*

[2:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] So again Tolar cant do his job?

[2:45] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: It was like I was actually fighting a person? I can't really describe it.

[2:45] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You are asking too much of Starfleet Security. This is why Delta exists.

[2:45] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Fact is, it wasn't how the computer normally mimicks you. This thing was more like a beast.

[2:45] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -blinks- wait this happened....to you too?

[2:46] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] during your sim?

[2:46] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: "Too"?

[2:46] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon turns to face her, locking his eyes with hers.* Do you remember Dalton?

[2:46] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Yes too....except i wasnt in the holodeck

[2:47] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He again stammers* Uh, y- Yes. Yes it does?

[2:47] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] I recall him nice and secure until some special force intelligence idiot let him out

[2:48] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Our chief of security let him out...and we had to chop him into pieces to kill him.

[2:48] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] leans closer as he pulls back closing th distance- Oh? um...why?

[2:48] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Well, where were you?

[2:48] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Alice, we are still dealing with these sort of people.

[2:49] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: As long as they exist...Delta is a necessity.

[2:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] Working out...last night...it came out of nowhere from behind me...when I got up...i had a lovely bruise on my hop where it hit me

[2:50] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: I.. dunno. *he feels his palms start to sweat*

[2:50] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: What? That's impossible. It couldn't have "hit" you.

[2:50] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] There are always these type of people Jonny...we havent always needed special needs people playing captain kirk

[2:51] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon frowns.* Special needs? Really?

[2:51] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Oh please do you see Decia or Seb or S'ress ever commanding anything beyond the armory they dwell in -sneers-

[2:52] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Seb doesn't seem interested in anything beyond who he is.

[2:52] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't know S'ress well...so that leaves the person we both agreed to avoid talking about.

[2:53] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -opens her armor vest and undoes her combat belt and uniform belt and tugs down the hem of her pants pullling up her tunic and T-shirt to show a welt the sze of a man's head on her hip- And

[2:53] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: yet he did...does that look imagined to you?

[2:54] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -reflexively looks away- We're in the /hall/ Lieutenant. I'm not saying you didn't see, or feel anything, but that's a physical impossibility. You might have done it when you got startled and fell.

[2:54] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: You did say you fell. Now will you please pull up your pants -is mildly red-

[2:55] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -rolls her eyes= Look at the bruise...you know what that is look at it

[2:55] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] that is from a fist the size of your head...an armored guantlet!

[2:55] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks very uncomfortable.* So I will refrain from comment on her.

[2:56] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -singsong voice- I wont bring her up anymore alice....

[2:56] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -doesn't- Look, fine. But explain how there were no intruder alerts, or warnings of attack. What about the secur- -he yells to two crewmen nearby- IT'S NOT A SHOW! Get lost!

[2:56] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -the crewmen flee for their lives-

[2:56] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: What about the security logs?

[2:57] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon raises his hands in the air* You mentioned her by name.

[2:57] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -readjsuts her uniform and seals up her armor as she speaks- I checked...it shows me flinging myself into the wall

[2:58] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] ALice? i mentioend my own name? yes Jon I know my own name

[2:58] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Which means it wasn't /physically/ here. But something isn't right. You can ask my ribs.. which are really starting to hurt again.

[2:58] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon facepalms.*

[2:59] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] so it was not physical and it was not ehre...what was it'

[2:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {walker] oh god Jon you dont call her her alice do you? because that would just be -clcks her tongue- awkward

[2:59] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [and Varel wasnt involved dont drag her into this]

[2:59] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Yes, let me put on my other blue colored uniform indicating I am of the science department. How should I know? Maybe we're just -said distastefully- overworked.

[3:00] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] you honestly think we imagined this and hurt ourselves?

[3:00] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: No. A simulation hurt me.

[3:00] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: No, her name is Decia Maximina Valerina. I call her Decia. *A very long sigh ensues.*

[3:00] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] or was it something else?

[3:01] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -sings just keep swimming with different lyrics to him- Just keep Digging ...Just Keep Digging...Digging Digging...

[3:02] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Aside from a blinding ball of rage and hate for myself and everything that's ever been involved with Salvation?

[3:02] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -Looms over him like a panther stalking a small goat- You dont know...you dont know why it matters if im joking or not?

[3:03] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -chuckles- yes...aside from that...what if its tracking us?

[3:04] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: ...then better us than innocents. We at least can say we aren't that.

[3:04] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon covers his face with both hands, looking despondant.*

[3:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [what not varel

[3:04] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [what not varel's fault this time?]

[3:04] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] ..yes on this we very much agree

[3:05] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Sorry.

[3:05] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -very sweetly- For what dear?

[3:05] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: For bringing up /her/.

[3:06] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -he shrugs, looking a little bitter- I guess we could always make it easy. Drop us off somewhere and wait for it.

[3:06] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -very sweetly- Oh that is all right dear

[3:06] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -chuckles- very noble of you

[3:06] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Please.

[3:07] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Well uh, if you are joking. Haha, very funny, you got me.

[3:07] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -mmmm;s some and looms up and over him now- and what is its .../not/?

[3:08] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: How are you feeling, dear? *Jon can't help but smile at her.*

[3:08] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] This is your suicidal plan not mine Mr Jem'Hadar

[3:09] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -very sweetly- Oh just /perfect/ dear

[3:09] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: That's good.

[3:09] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -emphazizes each word with a button push- Isn't it just?

[3:10] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *His eyes go wide and he tries to crawl away from her on the bench* what do you mean not?

[3:10] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks down at what she is pushing.*

[3:10] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Really? You're really going there?

[3:10] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -follows with a cobra like grin- Well that is the opposite of it being  a joke MMmmmright?

[3:11] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Decia] -blinks confused- going where? what?

[3:11] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It is. I would hate for it to be anything different for you.

[3:11] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: The Jem'Hadar crack.

[3:12] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Do I look like a scaley, horny, spikey, ass waffle?

[3:12] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Almost falls off the bench some and says quietly* Uh, sure.

[3:12] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] is filing the last of the mission updates for starfleet command and says sweetly- Oh i know dear...i know that you would...

[3:13] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You know that I would do /anything/ to make it better for you.

[3:15] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] yes...well you spoke of suicide...like a Jem hadar....so it was ....what does that have to do with me going somewhere?

[3:16] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -sighs and sits back- Ooookay then -stands up and goes back toher locker-

[3:17] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: And if I were to ask what that would entail this evening?

[3:17] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *lets out a sigh of relief as she walks away*

[3:18] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Walker] -turns away from her panel and looks at him- You know ...from our visit to your parents house...

[3:18] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: It's.. nevermind. -he shakes his head- I don't know how I can both be calmed down and simultaneously infuriated when talking with you.

[3:18] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Oh?

[3:20] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -frowns still a little lost- Because I am me?

[3:21] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He crawls back to his locker and sits there quietly, red faced and all*

[3:22] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] -looms over Alt- What about a corocdile?

[3:22] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -smiles- A certain recipie?

[3:22] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Without hesitating* Sure Endel.

[3:23] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Endel] I can not wait to tell Mr Boots..he will be so excited..come on spot !

[3:23] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Spot] -seems to just stare at Alt a long moment and then follows-

[3:23] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Hmmmm...that could be a variety of things. *He winks at her.*

[3:24] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Ahhh s you are going to toy with me now Mr Perfct fanboy?

[3:24] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -points a knife hand at her and just growls-

[3:24] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Oh, you can't have some fun? *He fake pouts.* Ham sandwiches? or cheesecake?

[3:25] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -smiles at this= a threat or a flirt?

[3:25] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Walker] -dives into his arms at the mention of cheesecake- Forgiven!

[3:25] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He stares at Spot as he lingers then once he scoots away he looks at Sissia*

[3:25] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon grins and holds her.* Well...that's settled then.

[3:26] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Sissia] -smiles winks and blows him a soft exxagerated sensual kiss his way-

[3:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You just wait...unlike that cotton candy...I do have multiple recipes for this. *He beams at her.*

[3:27] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He looks away to a corner of the room, embarrased again*

[3:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *cotton candy popcorn

[3:27] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -pokes his chest- Mom's!

[3:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon laughs* Okay, mom's.

[3:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'm going to have to subspace her and tell her you insisted.

[3:27] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] - is facing him now _ heeeey buddy got a sec?

[3:28] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: While showing off the end product, of course.

[3:28] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He looks at Carol now* What.

[3:28] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] Good! maybe i can pick on yur dad some more

[3:29] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] I was wondering if i could possibly take your meseaurements again?

[3:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon laughs.* I think he'd look forward to the challenge again. I hope he's up and walking by now.

[3:29] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: What for? *Still visibly red*

[3:29] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -exhales closing his fist and gives it a single shake- I don't even know any more. This whole thing: You, Salvation, the Chorus, All of it, is driving me insane.

[3:30] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Glances over at Sissia once again*

[3:30] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] If he is not ill pick on him for that then

[3:31] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] you see my sister has the prom coming up and her dress is just awful this year and you are abotu her size and look great in your prncess gown!

[3:31] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Don't you already have them written down somewhere?

[3:32] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia]-nodnods as she takes this all in- I understand the frustration about Salvation, and the concern for chorus...but what have I done again? -she scowls some- Is it because I did not know where I

[3:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* You know we can't just have cheesecake for dinnner, as appetizing as that sounds.

[3:32] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: was to go?

[3:32] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Holy shit, you're not letting this go, are you?

[3:33] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] -whines - Grant borrowed my padd with them on it and spot ate the pile he left it in

[3:33] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -winces- I am sorry

[3:33] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He rubs his temples* Fine.

[3:33] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] if that is not it, what are you so upset with me?

[3:34] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] oh this will be so much fun...and then you can help me with patterns like you did before, you have amazing taste and we can then go over swatches!

[3:35] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Top] -suddenly nods with a verbal -ahhhh- and lays down on her cot-

[3:35] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: No, I'll just help with the measurements and that's it.

[3:35] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: The things you do, on a daily basis is comparitive to the things my entire team does on a daily basis on the scale of things that flip my switches.

[3:35] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Carol] But you were soo good at picking out he right material before..this is first prom Alton!

[3:36] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: ANd she can try again at her second prom.

[3:36] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] they are not that bad Sebetharen

[3:36] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: No, they aren't. But you are.

[3:37] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Endel goes running by holding a delta PT t-shirt that has what looks like a face cut into it covered in gun oil- HANG IN THERE MR BOOTS...The LAUNDRY IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!

[3:37] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: ... I swear I could hear that coming right as I said they weren't that bad.

[3:38] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -tries to keep a straight face- ...what was coming?

[3:38] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: You can handle it Carol, now can you please hurry with the measurements now?

[3:38] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] Oh sure just let me get my sewing kit and Endel!

[3:39] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Did you want anything else?

[3:39] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -reasserts the knife hand in her face and bring his own closer to her- THAT! That right there! That Maker damned pseudo cluelessness, which I'm starting to think you jsut do to taunt me!

[3:40] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -smiles - your cheese with eggs omelt

[3:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: The...'scrambled cheese'? *He grins.*

[3:40] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Clearly you can start without him for now. Right?

[3:40] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -blinks and then giggles warmly- I am not be false at times i do not know what you are talking about

[3:41] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] you use terms that i do not understand and get sooo upset when I do not

[3:41] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] dont move he cant be far...ill be right back! -goes back to the barracks-

[3:41] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -cocks his head to the side- You've been here how long? Would it /kill/ you to catch up on the.. what did they call it.. lingo? "verbage" I think was somethign I hear once...

[3:42] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *he dries his hands off on his pants*

[3:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Did you still want to try to learn? Making scrambled...cheese is actually quite easy to learn to cook.

[3:43] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -offers- local colloquialisms?

[3:43] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [walker] Nodnods- I would i have to learn some time

[3:43] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -reasserts- STOP. THAT.

[3:44] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -blinks- is that not what you trying to say?

[3:44] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: what you were*

[3:45] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* I'll have everything ready to teach you once your shift is over. I'll work on making the cheesecake while I'm waiting.

[3:45] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [walker] plus I think its time I kciked your butt again in KWC

[3:45] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon rolls his eyes* Is that a challenge Lieutenant?

[3:45] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -pulls his hand back and runs it through his short hair vexedly- Who are you trying to impress with language like that?! I'm stuck between wanting to strangle you and... ragh. Just. Just stop.

[3:46] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] it would be if you were -teases playfully-

[3:46] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Oh? You do know I have a secret weapon/.

[3:46] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Guaranteed success rate.

[3:46] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] goes to speak and smiles as Carol appears between them-

[3:46] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] Sir?

[3:47] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Carol. Would you ever think getting between me and a target would be a good idea? On the same train of though, would it be just as good an idea to get between me in an argument with the most vexing--

[3:47] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: woman I know?

[3:48] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] -blinks and looks around- I do not see the XO here sir

[3:48] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -blinks at that-

[3:48] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I can demonstrate for you if you'd like.

[3:48] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Why is everyone /saying/ that?!

[3:48] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *A massively mischievous grin has overtaken his face.*

[3:48] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Carol. You have two seconds to spit out what you want.

[3:48] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] sorry sir....ive a question I need your helpp

[3:48] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] Oh right!

[3:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] do you know where I can find Endel? I need him to help me push my sewing cabinet into armory so i can take measaurements of Alton for my little sisters Junior Prom dress! Im soo excited and so

[3:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: is Alton!

[3:50] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -blinks once more at this in utter surprise-

[3:50] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: He ran by a moment ago. That way. -points-

[3:50] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Carol] Thank you sir! -heads off in that direction-

[3:51] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -blinks- I should just say that from the moment whether I know or not.

[3:51] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: If you are scared, you can admit defeat now.

[3:51] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Resistance is...futile.

[3:52] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -nods- Yes I am sure that the answer to any question on such a topic would have been more horrific that the image he just gave us.

[3:52] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: THat's why we don't ask.

[3:52] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] -smirks- Really..a borg ref Grandpa?

[3:52] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Asking leads to them sticking around with their nonsense even longer.

[3:53] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Hey! One of my better moments on the old Sentinel was a sneak attack on a transwarp conduit.

[3:53] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] and yet I can not help feeling an undeniable curiousity to undderstand what is going on

[3:54] [DOIC1] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Walker] yes..but cheesey one liners and snarky quips are not amongst your better moments love of my life

[3:54] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: There is no understanding. Plus if you wanted to understand, you'd start with learning slang instead of sitting there like you're meeting with the king of Uptightlandia.

[3:54] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: What I can say...I am influenced by the greate...like John McClane

[3:55] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He smirks at her.*

[3:56] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I am from the Presidium District on Magna Roma, and there is not a thing incorrect about my usage of proper lingistics Sebetharen

[3:57] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: The sad thing is, you believe that. Fine. You keep doing that "better than you" detatched stuck up bitch routine.

[3:58] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -admits- though if you are serious in suggesting that I perhaps improve my understanding of local colloquialisms, I shall endeavor to perservere

[3:58] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -offers- would that be acceptable?

[4:00] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: If you're asking if you'd "MAKE AN EFFORT", yes that's the way that's said, to learn a little slang then I don't think too many people would mind.

[4:00] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -nods- Perhaps I should as Jonathan to assist me with this endeavor

[4:01] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: And I'd bet he'd be /more/ than happy to assist you. I'll be sure to buy a ticket to that shitshow.

[4:01] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -sighs- then what do you suggest?

[4:02] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -he pulls back his hand realizing it'd been hovering in her face for awhile, as well as retracting his head away a bit as well- Just ask the team. Bond a little.

[4:02] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] and of course he would be pleased to offer his assistance he is my friend

[4:02] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Yeah. Sure.

[4:02] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -drawsherself back some- He is

[4:02] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: You really are naive.

[4:03] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -frowns- wait did you not explain to me once we should be friends with those we lead into battle?

[4:03] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: You plan on leading Cameron? A Helmsman? Besides, it's not what I meant.

[4:04] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -stamps her foot - Then why do you not say what you mean instead of... intead of....SLANGING IT AROUND ALL OF THE TIME!!!

[4:05] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: A valiant attempt, laundry list of things wrong with the use, but good job. Tell you what, you explain the bottle, and I'll explain a bit of gossip.

[4:06] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Well, gossip plus my own observations.

[4:06] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -Endel and Carol go by pushing a wall locker sized sew cabinet by slowly on squeaky wheels...sqweek....sqweek...sqwwek..-

[4:06] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -stares directly at Decia- Do not ask. pretend you don't see it.

[4:07] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -covers her grin delicately with her gauntlet's finger to not openly giggle as they pass-

[4:07] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Alt idly examines his own helmet, redfaced still*

[4:08] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] sits down next to him - Hey buddy...want to talk about it -asked all gentle and friendly-

[4:08] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -sqweek......sqweek....sqweek....sqweek-

[4:09] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -ignores the two.. and a half.. Deltas and refocuses on Decia- Well?

[4:09] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Talk about what? *Still focusing on his helmet*

[4:10] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] I am unable to tell you about the bottle during you night of alcholic indescretion, but i can tell you who swore me to my oath of silence. Will this information suffice?

[4:10] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Depending on your answer I may or may not tell you everything I know, either.

[4:11] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] -with understanding- Well buddy...you are almost that age now. I am thinking it is time, well, it is time for the ,,,,talk"

[4:11] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *he looks at Grant* The... talk?

[4:11] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -giggles behind her gauntlet- it was you

[4:12] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] -nods and smiles all big brother like- Yeah...the talk, dont you think its time you understood some very strange thing going around you>

[4:12] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: ?

[4:13] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: I told you to never tell me whatever it was that I did? I think I would have meant don't tell anyone what I did.

[4:13] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] You insisted in point of fact....you even went so far as to boldly declare that you were never to know

[4:13] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Looks up to him* What do you mean strange?

[4:14] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Drunk me doesn't know what Sober me wants! I think we can all agree he's an idiot.

[4:14] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] You know buddy some of the things going on around you that...well seem different than they once did"

[4:15] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: You aren't making any sense Grant.

[4:16] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] I know I know pal, you see you are going through a lot of strange changes these days arent you? feeling confused a lot...seeing a lot of strange behavior in some of your fellow deltas?

[4:16] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: All the time. *He nods*

[4:17] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -coughs a giggles- Oh yes of this we can definitively agree upon

[4:17] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: So what does "me" think that I don't need to know?

[4:18] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] -nods reassuringly- Exactly! exactly...see that is my point, You see man, i think it is the time for the talk before you make some decisons on things and only end up more confused ..see?"

[4:19] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: ...Ok. Are we having the talk now? Or is it starting pretty soon?

[4:19] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] is 'Me-me' the similar in nature to 'Drunk -me' or 'Sober-me' ? So that i understand your self refelctive metaphors correctly

[4:20] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] This is the talk Alton, and it is okay we all went through time, all of us, I am gonna help you through it"

[4:20] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: The "me" was the drunk.. are you serious? Why would I, sober, hide anything from me, drunk? This only goes one way.

[4:21] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Blinks as he tries to follow Grant*

[4:21] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Decia] -frowns lost now- But but...if it only goes one way, that means my oath has to stand and you just called yourself an idiot,,,that is however unless you mean i should see this as a split

[4:22] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Metaphor for self reflection...so now I am horribly confused

[4:22] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: What... did I.. tell... you... not.. to... tell me.?

[4:23] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] The... very... events... surrounding... how... the... bottle... ended... up... in... my... possesion.

[4:23] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Oh my god. Hi Endel, when did you get a pair of breasts?

[4:24] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: What were those events!?

[4:24] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] They were the ones you swore me never to tell you about! -stamps her foot in utter frustation now-

[4:25] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] why is this so important!??

[4:25] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -grabs her by the shoulders and looks her in the face- And I'm telling you to tell me!

[4:25] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: It's disconcerting!

[4:26] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] How could you ever trust me again if I broke my sworn word to you -offers frozen in his grasp-

[4:26] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: You didn't promise me, you promised a drunk idiot that will likely never see the light of day again.

[4:26] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He clears his throat some* Does this have to do with what just happened?

[4:27] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] Look pal...you see sometimes at this age you start to feel a little...funny ya know, down there ,,,-gestures suggivtvely with his eyes- around other certain deltas. And when that happens

[4:28] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Say like when a lady delta feels like around a guy delta...well it looks like it is time for some 'night time joint operations'

[4:29] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He repeats Grant* Night time joint operations? Funny down there?

[4:29] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [grant] so if the guy delta fels the same way they you know..go about planning said joint operations to deploy in an secluded area of operatios

[4:29] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {grant] Yeah! there ya go Pal

[4:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles at Allice* I should probably go get everything ready for when your shift ends.

[4:29] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] Now when the joint operations are planned out...there is a lot of prep work to be done prior to the actual operational insertion

[4:30] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Blinks as he struggles* What? Slow down.

[4:30] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] Yes! yEs that is it! slowing down is very very good ..expecially once you have reached the insertion phase of the join operations

[4:32] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: The insertion phase?

[4:32] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] what is what happened was sworn not to protect you but me?

[4:32] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: Wait what?

[4:33] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] Yes now this is a vital phase one insertion has begun you are both past the point of no return...now it is also very very important to do an equiptment check prior to insertion for both of

[4:33] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Equipment check? How does that work?

[4:34] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: your sakes....you need to be sure that you are both covered with the proper defensive protection, you ned to ensure your weapon functions properly int he field dont you>

[4:34] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Grant Come on man mos tof this is just good common sense

[4:35] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Makes a mental note* OK got it.

[4:36] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] now once you hit the ground running following insertion...you know once you engage the enemy to conserve your energy..no rapid fire...keep your firing rate slow and measured,..single shot slow

[4:37] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: My fire rate slow?.. Ok.

[4:37] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] energy conservation is key here...now keep in mind you both have to move and fire in tandem ...two by two functioning in the assault as one together

[4:38] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Temple]- BANG BANG BANG-

[4:39] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Not like that then? *Points to the short banging*

[4:39] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant ] now have way throughthe joint assault stage you are gonna feel a little urgency from her ... most likely thrugh audible calls...to press on right to the objective...but hold back...approach

[4:40] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *Furrows his brow as he listens intently*

[4:40] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] No no actually Temple has a good slid rythmn going..,just like that...pick your target and concentrate all your efforts on each indivudual target

[4:40] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: solid*

[4:41] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Ook. WHat else?

[4:41] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] Now once you both have the objective in sight...that is when we have to work with your lady delta in the mutual demolitions phase...now if you do this right both of your explosions ...synched

[4:42] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: will overwhelm the objective...bt again..its team work but trust me buddy once you reach the objective al bets are off! its power time...you dont hold back with the explosive

[4:43] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] once both of you set off your demo charges together...and i do mean together..if you have too wait for her...not that might be hard sometimes lady delta's take their time wiring their charges

[4:44] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [grant] but trust me pal it is sooo worth it in the end...now after you both destroy the objct...and you will know all ammo will be fully spent

[4:44] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] then and only...do you work back to extraction

[4:45] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] then ya dust off..hit the showers back to the barracks for beer with the gang and a ful briefing on the debriefing on the joint operation

[4:45] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *he nods* a briefing at the end, got it.

[4:45] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] See? Ill bet a lot of this makes so much more sense then doesnt it now buddy?

[4:46] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: You know, for once. I don't want to kill you.

[4:46] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: {Grant] -smiles- Ya see? My litle soldier is all grown up -pats alt on the back and sstands up stretches and sighs- Good Talk soon...good luck!

[4:46] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: Son*

[4:48] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: *He twirls his helmet on his finger* Ok.

[4:49] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: You going to elaborate that for me?

[4:49] [DOIC4] Alton@the5of435: Thanks Grant, that makes sense now.

[4:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Decia] -goes to speak and then looks him square in the eyes and then with lightning quick reflexes....-

[4:49] [DOIC5] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: -bolts for it-

[4:50] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] -fromhis pile- No problem buddy

[4:50] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Mattox] -to grant softly- You are going to hell, you know this right?

[4:50] [DOIC4] DGMSoftKitty@Isis.: [Grant] shut up nerd..we bonded

[4:51] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -blinks, before scowling and yelling after her- I know where you live! And work!... -he pauses for a moment- That didn't sound weird at all.

[4:53] [DOIC5] Sebetharen@Sebetharen: -shakes his head as he heads toward the barracks- The fuck is wrong with everybody...
