Pilgrim 4/18

[9:12] [DOIC] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: The Starship Pilgrim is docked with Starbase 220, having arrived eomewhat recently.

[9:12] [DOIC] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: The crew is on shore leave for the time being, while they attend to some personal business...

[9:12] [DOIC] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Star Trek: Pilgrim theme plays...*

[9:13] [DOIC] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: -=Begin=-

[9:13] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris walks into the science lab, dressed in a sharp tuxedo... and nose deep in a PADD. Always focused on work, this one.*

[9:14] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] Nice tux.

[9:14] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He glances up.* "Well, I thought it would be more appropriate attire to the wedding than a uniform."

[9:14] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is in his quarters, putting the finishing touches on his outfit with several other Bajorans dressed similarily. His mother and father are also present.*

[9:15] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *finishes some work on her console and gets up*

[9:15] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -glances at the Duty roster on the PADD she has been added, and blinks...then slowly snarls-

[9:15] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria is dressed for the occasio doing some last minute boss type beep booping in engineering*

[9:15] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Besides, I forgot to ask the quartermaster for a dress uniform when I transferred to the Pilgrim. The one I got when I was commissioned doesn't fit so well in the back anymore."

[9:16] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks up and levels at gaze at the little cardassian-

[9:16] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He walks up to the center console and logs in.*

[9:16] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Pimal] The hook goes like this...when was the last time you tried to put on one of these Li?

[9:16] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] I was never a fan of the dress whites.

[9:16] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well, we were in this simulation once...and my subconscious dressed me in it.

[9:16] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I think you'd look sharp in them."

[9:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks up at Valkriss* Ma'am. Permission to leave bridge and get changed?

[9:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Denied -curls her fingers slowy to her beckoning her closer- come.here.

[9:17] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Pratt tries to pretend like he's not noticing this*

[9:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Quirks an eyeridge a bit surprised but does as told

[9:18] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Eams] So...not since you left Bajor, right?

[9:18] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sighs.* Yes, not since I left.

[9:18] [DOIC6] Zem@Mouse43dz: *is busy dancing around her quarters to some music as she gets all gussied up.*

[9:18] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -spins the padd around to show her, her own highlighted name as being on duty for the recpetion- is.this.accurate.?

[9:18] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... So, wait, are you not going?"

[9:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yes.

[9:18] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You know this isn't exactly easy to put on...

[9:18] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] Oh, I'm definitely going.

[9:19] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] I love weddings.

[9:19] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods slowly- and i am to understand you actualyl volunteered for the extra duty?

[9:19] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Correct

[9:19] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Zeha] Oh quit being a baby. We have to wear these every day.

[9:19] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Just wish to make sure i understand this....you would prefer to work...rather than spend time with me socially following the ceremony?

[9:19] [DOIC6] Zem@Mouse43dz: *pauses mid-dance to eye herself in the mirror. She gives a sly grin and plants a quick kiss on the mirror before returning to her dance moves, making her way over to wrap the gift now.*

[9:20] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "This is the first one I've ever been to. My people don't really get married."

[9:20] [DOIC6] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *The mirror's kiss is cold.*

[9:20] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] Marriage is a weird thing. I was never married.

[9:21] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It's fine. *Li gets up and nods to his father, who nods back.* We are ready. *He hits his combadge.* =^= Zorin to Captain T'Pang.

[9:21] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "One of the big ethnic groups on my homeworld had a similar concept -- having their union blessed by a holy figure for good fortune."

[9:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she step out onto the bridge. =/\=Captain here, go ahead.=/\=

[9:21] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: No, I would prefere to work so that someone who does not only get enraged by that kind of social... manifestations could enjoy it, Even better without my enraged presence.

[9:21] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "But beyond that, we don't really have an institution like marriage."

[9:22] [DOIC6] Zem@Mouse43dz: *carefully sets a tribble in a box and begins to secure the box. She pauses thoughtfully a moment and grabs a bit of jerky from the replicator and tosses it in the box and then secures it.* There we -

[9:22] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] The flip side of marriage is divorce, and I'm not sure I'd want to go through that.

[9:22] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= I am ready for the ceremony...can you announce it will begin on the bridge shortly?

[9:22] [DOIC6] Zem@Mouse43dz: - go. Can't have you going hungry during the party. *She hums and begins to wrap the box.*

[9:22] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I see...-caid coldly- ..and you thought this best...to surprise me with?

[9:22] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *After finishing the last minute work Aria gives her family a last minute tour of engineering*

[9:22] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Pratt] Captain, getting an unusual subspace distortion on the sensors.

[9:22] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I thought we'd already established that you weren't really the settling down type anyway."

[9:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=I will do so.=/\=

[9:23] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris frowns at the console, his simulations failing spectacularly despite using the same input from last time.*

[9:23] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: You where not present at the time, And it is hardly a surpise if I know you read all duty rosters?

[9:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Unusual how, mister Pratt?"

[9:23] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Pratt] Well, it's...

[9:23] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Thank you. Zorin outg.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: No....-refusing ot lok at her now as she speaks- i suppose it is not a surprise you made a decision like this without me

[9:24] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *In a flash, Admiral Arak and Commander Wallace appear on the bridge.* [Arak] Permission to come aboard, Captain?

[9:24] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Zorin to Vedek Krim.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *The two of them have some wrapped packages in their hands*

[9:24] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Krim] =^= Lieutenant...are you ready to begin?

[9:24] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *snaps to attention and turns to Arak*

[9:25] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -points at the pair with a soft snarl-- That unusual ma'am

[9:25] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: At ease.

[9:25] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -bellows out- Admiral on the bridge

[9:25] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: No need for formalities. I'm here to crash the wedding.

[9:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she gives Arak a look-- "Permission granted sir. However, I would have prefered from sort of advanced notice of your arrival."

[9:25] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -in a tone daring folks not to come ot attention due to her current mood-

[9:25] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *stands at ease*

[9:25] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks at Arak, shocked-

[9:26] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] I understand, Captain. Under the circumstances, there wasn't much time.

[9:26] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= I am. You honor me by your presence. We will be heading to the bridge shortly.

[9:26] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Where will you be hosting the ceremony?

[9:27] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Krim] =^= I will see you there little one.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: pmg yes!

[9:27] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Something's not right here."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: mt

[9:27] [DOIC6] Zem@Mouse43dz: *shakes her booty as she finishes wrapping her gifts and collects her things and heads on out.*

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "The ceremony will apparently take place here on the bridge, shortly"

[9:27] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] What, you break the universe again?

[9:27] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* I can't believe she still calls me th at.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Outstanding. We'll just take a seat in the back. Please, no special formalities on my account.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -coldly- Lieutenant Ilya permision granted

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she taps her comm going all ship wide.--

[9:28] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak silently chats with Pratt in the back of the bridge*

[9:28] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Vaht] She does it to all of the prylars. I guess in her mind she still sees you as an aspiring one.

[9:28] [DOIC6] Zem@Mouse43dz: *hops into the turbolift.* Bridge!

[9:28] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Idria watches Arak-

[9:28] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *nods to Valkriss* Yes Ma'am. *She then turns on her heel and heads to the turbolift*

[9:28] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Attention crew, for those who will be attennding the wedding ceremony for Aria and Zorin Li, that will be taking palce on the bridge shortly=/\=

[9:28] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I guess that should be flattering. *Li smiles at the notification and exits the room.*

[9:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -has already been in her dress whites and still refuses to look at Ilya as she speaks to her-

[9:29] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li enters the turbolift with his friends and family. It is quite cramped.*

[9:29] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Bridge.

[9:29] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Wanders onto the bridge, still humming the song as she peers around*

[9:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris seems very reluctant to part with the console.*

[9:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's like some fundamental physical constant changed. That doesn't make any sense."

[9:30] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] Eh, you can figure it out later. We have a wedding to attend.

[9:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -snarls and tugs at her collar a little-

[9:30] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *hurries to her and valkriss quarters and changes in record speed before hurrying back to the turbolift*

[9:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I didn't realize we were going -together-."

[9:30] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He casts a playful smirk at Frame.*

[9:30] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame sighs* You're unstoppable. Come on, let's go.

[9:31] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris takes one last hesitant glance at the console before logging off.*

[9:31] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria smiles nerviously and makes her way to the turbolift when she hears the announcement*

[9:31] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Meru] Are you excited?!

[9:31] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yes mother.

[9:31] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If I were really unstoppable, you'd be more open to the idea of being affectionate. Unfortunately, the one physical constant that HASN'T changed is your lack of mating instinct."

[9:31] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Scoots over to the railing, all smiles as she looks around at the others, a little unsure of where she should stand.*

[9:32] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Pohl just smiles at her enthusiam and nods.* We are both very happy for you.

[9:32] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris casually loops his arm through Frame's and walks out with him.*

[9:32] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thanks. I'm happy you are both here. *Li smiles as the turbolift doors open.*

[9:32] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Smiles nerviously standing there with her family she holds the doors waiting for Serris*

[9:32] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] Surely you have a slicker way of putting it than calling it a "mating instinct." *he deftly slips out of the loop*

[9:33] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He leans up and whispers something positively and uncharacteristically graphic, then continues his stride nonchalantly.*

[9:33] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame sighs and follows Serris into the turbolift*

[9:33] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li steps out of the turbolift, flanked by 4 Bajorans, three males and one female all dressed in traditional Bajoran garb such as himself. Behind them are an older male dressed in the same garb, and a

[9:33] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: an older female dressed in a fancy dress.*

[9:34] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Um bridge.

[9:34] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris and Frame arrive through the back corridor near the operations console.*

[9:34] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she addresses Li's parents-- "Welcome aboard the Pilgrim, this time under pleasant circumcstance.--

[9:35] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame looks around and blinks twice when he sees Arak*

[9:35] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Oh, there you are Commander.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -bows her head in full respect to Li's agent mother and smiles to the dad-

[9:35] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li bows and his entourage follow suit in front of T'Pang.* Thank you captain...it is an honor for you to allow us to do this here.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Meru smiles warmly at Valkriss and Pohl waves at her.*

[9:36] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Beams at the couple as they arrive.* You guys look fantastic!

[9:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -waves back smiling a little more-

[9:36] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame and Arak shake hands, with Frame obviously very pleased*

[9:36] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Hello, Admiral." *He looks between the two and then gets a positively diabolical idea.* "Any chance I could have a moment of your time between the ceremony and the reception?"

[9:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "The request was one i found most agreeable."

[9:36] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks to the pair and offers a small smile-

[9:36] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He does his best to not give anything away with his facial expression or vocal tone.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: There might be a chance for that. See me later, Lieutenant.

[9:37] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Poiltely stands at attention and inclines her head to the bajoran entorage*

[9:37] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Thank you, sir."

[9:37] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and smiles at Zem and Ilya.* It is an honor to have you both here.

[9:37] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak gives his attention to the proceedings*

[9:37] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria her Parents and her brother arrive on the bridge Aria looks around unsure where to stand for now*

[9:38] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris crosses the bridge via the command deck and flanks Zem.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria her Parents and her brother arrive on the bridge Aria looks around unsure where to stand for now*

[9:38] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Coming from the other turbolift, an older Bajoran woman dressed in traditional garb enters the bridge and takes her place in front of the viewscreen.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Nods to Serris, resisting the urge to pat him on the head. She just grins, quite amused by the proceedings and outfits.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Krim] Come my children...it is time.

[9:39] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria's little brothers eyes go wide as he gazes around at the bridge ut less cute than past apperances because child actor aging stuff*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li does as she says and heads towards the viewscreen.*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *His four friends follow him but his parents stay behind.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -calls out once more- Admiral on the bridge

[9:41] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris stands at attention.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame, Wallace, and Arak take notice of Meranda's arrival*

[9:41] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: As you were, as you were *smiles*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li turns his head and blinks at the sight of Merenda and then his eyes go wide as the sight of Arak.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *His posture relaxes.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak gives a traditional Bajoran greeting toward Zorin*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -goes to at ease as instructed-

[9:42] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Eyes Meranda and continues to smile brightly. She nods her head deeply in greeting.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li bows his head in respect as do his friends beside him, returning the greeting with their hands.*

[9:43] [DOIC1] [email protected]: *remains oblivious as hes  stil going over  recent  flight loggs  During his off duty hours, *

[9:43] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: This isnt my show I'm just a visitor today

[9:44] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Krim] Children...while I appreciate the presence of such digintaries...there is a ceremony to be performed here. *She motions to Aria.*

[9:44] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak moves over to shake Meranda's hand and generally hang out next to her*

[9:44] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *decides to hide in the turbolift until its time to walk the isle looks around nerviously before disapearing for the next few moments*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *Shakes Arak's hand and doesnt chase them off afterward*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *At that Aria's Dad walks Aria down the isle err bridge? to Li*

[9:46] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Bounces on her heels a little as she watches the proceedings.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris follows Valkriss closely.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The vedek produces a bowl and fills it with a traditional Bajoran wine. She holds it up and begins speaking in Bajoran.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles nerviously at Val and Serris then looks back at Li*

[9:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods with proud encouragment for her friend-

[9:50] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Listens and watches intently unsure what the exact order is*

[9:50] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria follows suit*

[9:51] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *whispers back with a neutral tone, thou her face shows signs of pain* "Since she found my personal wish to not attend the reception to be blasphemeous, I feel most certain we are not next"

[9:51] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Krim] For those of you not familiar with the Bajoran language...this union of the two becoming one has been blessed by the Prophets...let no one seperate them until they enter the Celestial Temple.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Krim looks to Aria.* You may exchange the traditional rings.

[9:53] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria smiles and motions for her little brother to bring up the rings though it was a close match of who was shorter him or serris*

[9:53] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *her smile fades a little, almost to a pout. and she whispers back* it's just a disagreement, those happen a lot. Just gotta loosen her up a bit. *her smile returned as she continued to watch the -

[9:53] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: - wedding.*

[9:54] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria smiles unsure who should put a ring on the other first*

[9:54] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles at him as he produces the rings. He takes the ring to place on Aria's finger when it is provided to him.*

[9:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *speaks silent to Zem* "I will tell you more after the cermony, For now lets feel... happy.. for them"

[9:54] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Krim] You may now exchange rings, and then drink from the bowl of unity.

[9:59] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The vedek removes the bowl and sets it aside.* [Krim] I believe the Earth conclusion is to kiss the bride?

[10:00] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li steps forward and leans in to kiss Aria.*

[10:01] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles happily and Kisses Li*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak claps*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Krim] They are now one...I present to all of you...Zorin Li and Aria.

[10:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Qa'pla!

[10:03] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris claps politely with a warm smile on his face.*

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --politely Vulcan golf claps.--

[10:04] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li breaks the kiss and smiles to the crowd.* Aria Zorin...please don't switch the last name for her.

[10:05] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria smirks at that*

[10:06] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *cheers*

[10:06] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Pratt and Frame seem highly excited*

[10:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -cant resist- You did not take her last name Li? -eyes him-

[10:06] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: We both would like to thank all of you for being here today and invite all of you to a reception held on the starbase.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li eyes Valkriss and chuckles.*

[10:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles-

[10:06] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles at Val*

[10:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -whispers to Aria-

[10:07] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *The vedek smiles at the couple.* Walk with the Prophets...together.

[10:09] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thank you, vedek. We will.

[10:09] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles at Aria.* Well...shall we?

[10:09] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yes um thanks for coming. *Aria smiled and waved at everyone blushing some unused to being the center of attention*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria smiled and nodded at Li*

[10:10] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and pats Serris on the back and steps down as he does-\

[10:10] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Captain...I would like to request transport to the starbase for anyone who would like to attend to the reception.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Party time!

[10:11] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Looks around* Um when do I do the boquet tossing part?

[10:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods and -- "Congratulation you two. And transporter room one is on standby to transport people to the starbase for the reception."

[10:11] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thank you captain. *He does his best version of the Vulcan salute for her.*

[10:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *leans in to whisper to Zem* "When do we toss this white stuff at them?"

[10:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --raises an eyebrow at the bouquet tossing idea.--

[10:12] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Hmmmm.

[10:12] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -walks over and whispers to Idria-

[10:12] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Maybe once we get on the starbase?

[10:12] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Smiles blushes more and nods*

[10:12] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Shrugs and begins to fling the white stuff at the couple*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Idria nods-

[10:13] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shields himself.* Hey!

[10:13] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *joins Zem in throwing white stuffs over the cupple*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -hurls her rice at them as well then-

[10:13] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes Aria's hand.* I think it's time to head to the transporter room!

[10:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --stands infront of the admirals-- "Admirals it was an honor having you on board for this occasion. Will you be joining us for the celebration on the starbase."

[10:14] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li ducks into the turbolift.* Deck 2!

[10:14] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: I'm sure we can replicate more and toss more on them later.

[10:14] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Absolutely I will.

[10:14] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: As fun as it was. I belive moderation in whitestuff tossing should be observed.

[10:15] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: The honor was mine, and yes, at least I will be *smiles*

[10:15] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Who on Bajor thought hurling these little...things was a good idea?

[10:15] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -from the turbolift door to the transporter padd is an honor guard of security officers for the happy couple-

[10:15] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Continues to fling rice over everyone's heads.*

[10:15] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *until she runs out.*

[10:15] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li offers the honor guard a small smile.*

[10:15] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Laughs* Well um that was well easy. *smiles*

[10:15] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grins and kisses her again.* Of course it was. *He takes her hand as he heads towards the transporter room.*

[10:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Zem tossing rice all over her bridge with some annoyance.--

[10:16] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Two to beam to the starbase, please.

[10:16] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Is having a hell of a good time as rice goes everywhere. She was taking total advantage of making a mess on the bridge and flinging stuff at admirals.*

[10:16] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles and waves at the transporter chief after she steps on the pad*

[10:16] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *Is doing a good job of hiding anoyance at rice all ver the bridge as well*

[10:17] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Fx] There is an unusual amount of rice on the bridge at the moment.

[10:17] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Alright! party time! *Scurries for the turbolift before she pushed her luck any further*

[10:17] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris dodges the raining rice like it's a scene out of Saving Private Ryan and ducks into the lift.*

[10:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -hopes the admirals good mood keeps Zem from being transfered to a deep space subpsace relay station-

[10:17] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Transporter Chief] =/\= Understood, engaging...

[10:18] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she clears her throat,-- "Lieutenant Seiloh, I think that you can stop with the tossing of rice and turn your attention to cleanup."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *smirks a bit at that*

[10:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *grins*

[10:18] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: She....um...bolted already Captain

[10:18] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: to throw more rice around the ship

[10:18] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *was already riding the turbolift to the transporter.*

[10:18] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she grunts at that.--

[10:18] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I think...she misunderstood the rice custom ...some

[DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks to the rice- Why do we throw rice around the ship?

[DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] I have to admit, I'm unfamiliar with the rice custom.

[DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I think it is to .... feed the doves Humans used to release at such ceremonies

[10:19] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: It was an Earth custom, i didnt realize they observed such a thing as well

[10:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: In hindsight, It would made more sense to use the holoprojectors.

[10:20] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Zem seems very...enthusastic about seeing the custom..restored

[10:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I would not know it is a vastly different tradition from Vulcan marriage ceremonies."

[10:20] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Really? Vulcans do not throw food Ma'am? -said deadpanned-

[10:21] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Bites her lip at that-

[10:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Vulcans most definitely do not throw food. It is unbecoming."

[10:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li holds Aria's hands and steps off the transporter pad.* Ready?

[10:21] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *grins more*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Of course Captain

[10:21] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I um guess we wait at the um bar?

[10:22] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: I'm sure the Vulcan custum is very... interesting, but isnt there more festivities we should be getting to? *heads for the turbo lift*

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Commander Valkriss if you would escort our admirals to the transporter room."

[10:22] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs.* Sure...we're supposed to dance once they get here, right?

[10:22] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Agreed.

[10:22] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks at her captain- You honor..me....Captain...--to the admirals formally- This way Please

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --follows the admirals onto the lift.--

[10:22] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -ensures the honor guards remains in place fot the flag officers-

[10:23] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *nods*

[10:23] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yeah I think im supposed to dance with my Dad at some point too.

[10:23] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I havent really been to many weddings.

[10:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* I haven't been to any human ones...

[10:24] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: -follows the Admirrals and the captain through the honor detail to the transporter room-

[10:24] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria smirked* Well at least we didn't choose Orion then we would both be totally lost.

[10:24] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks to Illya and tilts her head- Who were the Admirals supposed to be?

[10:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yikes. Would you like a drink, Mrs. Zorin? *LI smirks back.*

[10:25] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Vice Admiral Miranda Kalvak. Commanding officer of the 22nd fleet. Rear admiral lower half Arak Verdaan. Simy intelligence person.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Sure. Husband. *giggles at that*

[10:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs and heads over to the bar to get her a drink.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: I see.

[10:26] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *As they are getting their drinks Li's friends and parents beam over to the starbase and head over to the lounge.*

[10:27] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: -prays Zem has stopped throwing rice at the admirals while they await T'Pang-

[10:27] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Lieutenant Eldax?

[10:27] [DOIC2] Meranda@Greyfreth: 220 please, energize

[10:27] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris idly rocks back and forth on his heels as they dematerialize.*

[10:27] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to the transporter chief-

[10:27] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: [CHief] -beams them to the station-

[10:28] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *The chief nods and energizes the pad*

[10:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li retrieves the wine and pours Aria a glass.* I guess I have some introductions to make. *He looks over at his friends.*

[10:29] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= -in a clip professional tone- =^= Valkriss to Lieutenant Ilya

[10:29] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Ilya here.

[10:29] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles and waves at Li's friends*

[10:30] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Since yu are the current watch officer...please be so kind Lieutenant to be sure to grant the married couple's family a /proper/ tour of the Pilgrim. I am sure they would be quite honored

[10:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li motions one of them over and hugs the Bajoran, turning to Aria.* This is Pimal Kedo...my best friend from Bajor.

[10:31] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Scurried over to a replicator on the starbase*

[10:31] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Is it culturaly appropriate to have a Cardassian escort Bajorans, ma'am?

[10:31] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria's little brother beams at that and runs over into the cardassians realm of personal space and waits for the tour to start*

[10:31] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= I am quite sure, they understand you are a starfleet officer Lieutenant

[10:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: =^= Understood.

[10:32] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris follows Arak a respectable distance away, eager for a meeting.*

[10:32] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= I just figured given your experience in such a role you would be the correct choice. Enjoy. Valkriss out.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak walks in with Meranda*

[10:33] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak turns to Serris* You had asked for a moment of my time.

[10:33] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Andrew: Can we fire a photon torpedo or the phasers? DO Cardassians shed their scales like snakes or lizards? Does your hair fall out when you shed your skin? Is the green spot on your forehead makeup

[10:33] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: or natural?

[10:34] [DOIC3] Meranda@Greyfreth: i'd like to wish you both congradulations and the hopes for many wonderfull years together

[10:34] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He jumps, startled.* "Oh, yes, sorry. Er..."

[10:34] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks to Ilya and can't help but smirk slightly-

[10:34] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *sighs deeply and looks to Idria* Where is the parents currently?

[10:34] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Victor is at the back of the lounge, already a few scotches into the celebration. He is dwelling on his own failed marriage as he observes the happy couple enter*

[10:34] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Blue spot*

[10:35] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *His friends notice the Admiral and give them some space.*

[10:35] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thank you ma'am.

[10:35] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak looks at him as if he's waiting for Serris to say something*

[10:35] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He clears his throat.* "I've been running into some extremely unusual problems with my theoretical model. Namely, the entire thing suddenly doesn't work even though I haven't altered it."

[10:35] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Taps her console gently-

[10:36] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Gets some more rice from the replicator and leaves trails of it here and there, occasionally sprinkling people and exclaiming "congratulations!" without any explanation before finally making her way-

[10:36] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: - to the bar.*

[10:36] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *I should be in DOIC3*

[10:36] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's like some fundamental physical constant just... stopped being constant."

[10:36] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Switches over to DOIC3, too.*

[10:36] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Mmhm.

[10:36] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Gets some more rice from the replicator and leaves trails of it here and there, occasionally sprinkling people and exclaiming "congratulations!" without any explanation before finally making her way-

[10:36] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: - to the bar.*

[10:36] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: ((fixored)

[10:36] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -beams over to the station and smoothes out her dress uniform tunic, sstepping off of the pad and heading for the lounge-

[10:36] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks at Andrew* We could arrange to launch fireworks, We are not lizards. my hair does not fall out. Yes, It is cosmetic.

[10:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thank you ma'am.

[10:37] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "My first question was if I could perhaps have Avalon's computers take a crack at it and figure out what's wrong."

[10:37] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] There's a form for that. Commander Wallace...? *he looks over at Ms. Wallace, who approaches with a PADD*

[10:37] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Andrew: My parents are at the reception. They already saw engineering. I want to see the whole thing. DOes that mean you shed your skin all at once like a snake? DO you like roll around on the ground

[10:38] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Commander Wallace] *hands Serris the PADD* Make sure to sign and date it on page 48. You'll also need to initial on page 23.

[10:38] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris glances it over for any horrifically unpleasant clauses like forfeiting his research.*

[10:38] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: when you do? Do you have like sheeded skin suits like stored away?

[10:38] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Scans would confirm they left the ship,.

[10:38] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I do not shed my skin at all.

[10:38] [DOIC1] [email protected]: *Gets up from the helm and  walks to the Con   and looks at the two  " Why are you two stil here and not at the reception?""

[10:39] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Satisfied, Serris does as directed.*

[10:39] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -wlks over and hugs Aria tightly and smiles to her friend- COngradulations you!

[10:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles at how happy Aria is.*

[10:39] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: *finishes off the last of her rice by sprinkling the couple by the bar* Congrats! I hope you guys like your gifts. Are you two going to have one of those honeymoons?

[10:39] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks to Eldax* I am the officer on watch, she is reesponsible for ship security, What about you?

[10:39] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Once completed, you'll need to submit to special requisitions.

[10:39] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Thanks! *offers Val a hug*

[10:39] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And there was one other thing."

[10:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thank you, we will be heading to Risa after the reception.

[10:39] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Wallace] There's some lag time.

[10:39] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He glances around to make sure Frame isn't hanging around.*

[10:39] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -laughs as she tires to dodge the last salvo of Zem rice-

[10:39] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Right, can't forget about the lag time.

[10:40] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Thanks! *offers Val a hug*

[10:40] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Wallace] Special Requisitions is swamped right now.

[10:40] [DOIC1] [email protected]: I dontm remember the captain  placing you as officer on watch,, is this another Excuse for you not to  be part of the  Xo's life,  ?

[10:40] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame is off to the side, not paying attention to what Serris is saying*

[10:40] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -hugs Li as well tightly thumping his back heartily and whispers to him-

[10:40] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Andrew: SO Cardassians never ever shed their skin then? DOes that mean you were born full size? Do you have jumb storks to deliver the babies?

[10:40] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li listens closely.*

[10:40] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris lowers his voice. Frame can probably hear it with his cyborg ears anyway, but Serris at least tries to be discreet.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -giggles at Andrew-

[10:41] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Do check the current duty roster. But if you wish to take the role. I could use it for damage control.

[10:41] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li blinks and nods, whispering back.*

[10:41] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -beams to him holding his gae as she lets go-

[10:41] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's about Commander Frame. More of a personal inquiry, really. You seem to know him pretty well."

[10:41] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Are you sure this is a good use of our time?

[10:41] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: COngradulatons Mr and Mrs Xalot-Zorin

[10:42] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -said playfully-

[10:42] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li chuckles.* Thank you Commander.

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *smiles faintly to Andrew* We shed skin like humans and such does, contantly at very slow and near invisseble rate by dead skinparticles falling of and new ones being created.

[10:42] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -hands Zem the last of her rice-

[10:42] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Where is Lieutenant Ilya?

[10:42] [DOIC1] [email protected]: I will take Watch ,   you need to scoot over and  be wiht Valkriss,

[10:42] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Scoots over to the bar, ordering a big drink. She thanks val and tosses the rice at val, grinning* Gotcha.

[10:42] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris sighs in defeat, visibly deflating.* "Well, I suppose you may have better things to do."

[10:42] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles baring her fangs- On a 'tour' of duty

[10:42] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: She volunterred t stay on the ship.

[10:43] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks to Eldax* Thank you, Eldax.

[10:43] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -blinks and laughs eyeing Zem0 Oooies soo that is how it is to be -chuckles more-

[10:43] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: So um like when do I throw the boquet. Do you want to round up the single ladies Zem?

[10:43] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Wallace] Oh, Admiral. I'm sure we can help him out.

[10:43] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Alright. Go ahead, Lieutenant.

[10:43] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: oh! sure thing!

[10:43] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: *pauses as she eyes Val* Would you be considered single at this very moment?

[10:44] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Does he have any personal affects from before his augmentation? Maybe something he didn't take with him to the Pilgrim? I want to do something nice for him but I'm not sure where to start."

[10:44] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Andrew nods then pauses loading up the next question barrage*

[10:44] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Hey kid, Lieutenant Eldax will take care of you, He is a really good pilot!

[10:45] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Looks to Ilya, then to Eldax- Wow.

[10:45] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li blinks and looks to Zem.* I am not familiar with this tradition...can they not line up anyway?

[10:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *walks in to the turbolift, having rather babysit then do what she is about to do*

[10:45] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak and Wallace look at each other* [Wallace] The Commander likes to... travel light.

[10:45] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Technically by the Earth custom..yes I am

[10:45] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yeah, I've gotten the impression that he doesn't really stick around anywhere that long."

[10:45] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Andrew smiles and nods then looks at Eldax* Oooh did you know janeway? I named my dog after her. Its a Corgi!

[10:46] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris rubs his arm sheepishly.* "Well, thanks anyway, I guess."

[10:46] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: Okay, start a line up right there.

[10:46] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Hold on.

[10:46] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and lines up-

[10:46] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak fishes around in his pocket and gives Serris a small round piece of metal with something inscribed on it* [Arak] You can give him this.

[10:46] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Do not forget Serris.he was a brides maid he counts in this too

[10:46] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Pratt is off to the side at the reception, sipping on a margerita*

[10:46] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Nope kid,   But i did meet admrial Tuvok,,   he was  the head instructor to the delta  program

[10:47] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -switches to doic 1 for the lounge-

[10:47] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris takes the item and examines it carefully.* "May I ask what it is?"

[10:47] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Basically I throw a boquet they fight over it the one who catches it by tradition is supposed to be the next one to get married. I wonder if serris counts for this?

[10:47] [DOIC3] Zem@Mouse43dz: *scurries over to Pratt and smiles brightly. She takes his hand and tries to gently tug him along with her.* You're gonna participate too.

[10:47] [DOIC] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *drags everyone in the bar area to DOIC1, and everyonce on the "dance floor" to DOIC2*

[10:47] [DOIC3] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Wallace] It's a reference to an old Earth custom called a challenge coin.

[10:47] [DOIC3] Meranda@Greyfreth: (anyhoo as i was saying, congrats darn power company)

[10:48] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li whispers to Aria.* Ummm...is the Admiral single?

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *walks up to the lounge after transporting to the base, taking a long deep breath of regret before walking to Valkris*

[10:48] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Something Ange -- the Commander is familiar with, I assume."

[10:48] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] I think he will be.

[10:48] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Theres also like a version for the males where the groom throws um a garter but usually they arent as competative over it.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Oh.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *if pratt doesn't resist, she drags him over to the others waiting for the bouquet catch.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -quirks a brow barely looking at Iya- You are awol Lieutenant

[10:49] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Thank you, I appreciate this." *He flashes a sincere, grateful smile to Wallace and Arak.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: No idea.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Arak] Keep up the good work, Lieutenant.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Lieutenant Eldax relived me and told me to report here, Ma'am.

[10:50] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris then scurries away to the gathering at the bar.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles some- Did he....well we have one last wedding detail to partake of...you need to stand with me Pratt and Serris for this

[10:50] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: anyone else we missed? *she looks at those gathered.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks around* Isn't Boyd single too?

[10:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: She is indeed

[10:50] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yes, Eldax is a lot smarter then me at times. I am sorry.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: ooh, where is she? *looks around for Boyd*

[10:51] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Boyd stumbles around the other side of the bar, already somewhat intoxicated* [Boyd] Yup!

[10:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Yes,,,,yes he is

[10:51] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *chuckles and ushers boyd over to the group*

[10:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and a damn good friend it seems

[10:51] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Pratt filters over at a message of his name* [Pratt] My ears are burning.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *giggles at that* Um Are you ladies, and um gentlemen ready?

[10:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: [lolM is in line to catch the bouquet :P]

[10:51] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Pratt was drageged by Zem, haha*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *turns around then tosses the bouquet over her head in their general direction*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, ladies is technically correct, if you really want to be picky about it."

[10:52] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *excuses herself from the flower tossing*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "But, uh, sure."

[10:52] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: (( When the bouquet is thrown, anyone wishing to catch it must roll first, then make an emote in line with the quality of your roll. ))

[10:52] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: (( Highest roll gets it. ))

[10:52] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: (Highest, not lowest?)O

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Wat is the point of this form *falls silent as suddenly flowers are tossed*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: (( I mean lowest of course. )))

[10:52] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: (Alrighty.)

[10:53] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: (( Pratt's roll

[10:53] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Pratt makes a feeble attempt at catching it, which obviously fails*

[10:53] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: (( Boyd's roll... which is the same as Pratt's roll :P

[10:54] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Boyd leaps out to catch it, but she's too tipsy and falls to the deck*

[10:54] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Scrambles for the bouquet and almost claws after serris trying to fight for it and fails. She pouts a little.* Oof slippery little devil he is!

[10:54] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris leaps into the air to catch the bouquet, bolstered by his race's naturally disproportionate strength.*

[10:54] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Victor pours himself another drink*

[10:55] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *does not try to catch it as she is unaware what is going on*

[10:55] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Serris succeeds epically while Frame sighs.*

[10:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *turns around to see who caught it*

[10:55] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He does a backward pike somersault on his way down and lands gracefully.*

[10:55] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: Lieutenant, can I ask you something.

[10:55] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -reaches for it with grace and blinks at Serris in a matrixx slow motion worthy moment takes the bouquet-

[10:55] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: oh now you're just showing off. *chuckles*

[10:55] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li blinks at this impressive showing.*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -blinks- Wow.....

[10:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Wow indeed...

[10:56] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *Sheds watches the object as it flies through the air....*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks a bit flabergasted by the catch* Oh uh wow good catch Serris.

[10:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: [oh god sheds!]

[10:56] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, uh... now what?" *Fortunately for Frame, Serris has absolutely no idea what it means.*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Serris- Oh lords....Serris --laughs-

[10:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: It means you are going to be the next to get married. *giggles*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Oh."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks to Aria.* I believe we have an appointment over there...*He looks to the dance floor and smiles, then laughs at what Aria said.* Really...

[10:57] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *His face is practically glowing violet.*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Smiles at Li and nods*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: I think you get married right now.

[10:57] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to Frame- Congradulation Commander -chuckles warmly-

[10:57] [DOIC4] [email protected]: *takes his PADD and taps and grins, transmits the round to Valkises terminal for when she gets back with the line  " B, 11  BOOYAAA !! I sunk your battleship!!! "

[10:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: No no its just a fun thing Zem its not like binding.

[10:57] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Oh

[10:58] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: Does it determine who with?

[10:58] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris' vibrant blush deepens as Valkriss specifically mentions Frame.*

[10:58] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *giggles and shakes her head then grabs Li's hand to lead him to the dance floor*

[10:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Zem..get more rice

[10:58] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is dragged over to DOIC2.*

[10:58] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: *Giggles and pats Serris on the top of his head*

[10:58] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: rice??

[10:59] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] *gives her a look like... do you have to encourage him?*

[10:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Another wedding means more rice

[10:59] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Zem, I been thinking... Should we not program a holoprogram for mroe efficient whitestuff effects without cleanup duty?

[10:59] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -Looks to Eldax then abck to her console- I suppose not then -she mutters, drumming her fingers lightly against the frame-

[10:59] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: That's less fun though

[11:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: You missed the part where the captan said it is your duty to clean up the bridge and the path to the transporter.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes the captain looked completely thrilled -laughs-

[11:00] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li puts his hands on Aria's shoulders and smiles.* So...what is the first song?

[11:00] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Shrugs* I dunno.

[11:00] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You do not have a preference?

[11:00] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Do we even have a song? *chuckles*

[11:01] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: [DJ} -announces- Ladies and Gentlemen and non gendered species....Their first dance as a married couple!

[11:01] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* I have never been much of a...musical person.

[11:01] [DOIC1] Zem@Mouse43dz: I think the winner of the bouquet toss has that duty. I think it's in the wedding laws.

[11:01] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks back to the DJ with his eyebrows raised.*

[11:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It probably is..Earth has many weird weddng customs

[11:01] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak walks up to Meranda and whispers something in her ear*

[11:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Possible.

[11:02] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris hides the bouquet behind his back as everyone pays attention to Li and Aria and discreetly slides the coin into one of the flowers.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: You ready Admiral? *Motions to an ornate box she's produced*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: Always.

[11:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -claps for Aria and Li as they dance-

[11:03] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: Alright Sheds. youre on, call em to order

[11:03] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria whispers in Li's ear as they slow dance to whatever* Maybe you should ask the Admiral if they ever plan on changing the civilians and families on starships thing?

[11:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Is it wedding law to dance?

[11:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to her- No

[11:03] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *SHEDS ROARS!*

[11:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Good

[11:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks over at the sehlat's roar-

[11:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks at the adorable Sheds*

[11:04] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and looks back to the DJ.* Please play something...romantic...perhaps from Earth's culture?

[11:04] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Sorry   Go ahead ,

[11:04] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: And slow...

[11:04] [DOIC4] [email protected]: *looks over to her *

[11:04] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: Why did you relieve Ilya, rather than make her suffer the consequences of her mistake?

[11:04] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: [DJ] -smiles and complies with a lovely romantic melody for the couple-

[11:04] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *pats sheds on the head* Good boy.  Now that we have your attention, theres one more matter to attend

[11:05] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *The DJ pauses for a moment as Meranda starts to speak*

[11:05] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks over to Merenda.*

[11:05] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: Admiral, if you'll call the honored forward

[11:06] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Caseu ,,  Valkris  needs her more than she wil admit and If  The lieuenant dont secur that relationship,  IM taking  Valkris away from her.,

[11:06] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: Ms. Zorin, if we could borrow you for a moment...

[11:06] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -nods- Oh, I see.

[11:06] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks over in front of them.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *hand over the ornate box to the admiral*

[11:06] [DOIC4] [email protected]: But in the end,  I did  what i felt was best for my frined and sent her to her,

[11:07] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Item Acquired: Ornate Box]

[11:07] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *whispers to Valkriss* "I told you he should be invited to that girls night..."

[11:07] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Damm klingon better save me a pice of the cake though,

[11:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -tries to choke back the laugh and stay formal but has issues with it-

[11:07] [DOIC4] [email protected]: *chuckles*

[11:07] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: That makes sense -chuckles-

[11:08] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li stands at attention in front of the Admirals.*

[11:08] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Why are you here  Idria?

[11:08] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *To Aria* Sometimes these things take a little while, but better late than never. *he smiles at Aria*

[11:08] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: Someone has to keep the ship secure.

[11:08] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Were at station around 220 ,   if you wanted to attned the  festivitys , you welcome  to be dismissed?

[11:09] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Smiles but looks confused clearly not knowing whats in the box*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Um thank you Sirs.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -blinks and suddnely goes to attention figuring out now what is in that box-

[11:09] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -smiles- I failed the groom with something I was supposed to do.

[11:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *has no attention whats in the box but follows Valkriss to attention*

[11:10] [DOIC4] [email protected]: And what was that?

[11:10] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: On Stardate 94174.27, you were involved in an event sometimes called the Sea of Choral Storms Temporal Incident.

[11:11] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: During this incident, you knowingly entered an area of lethal radiation to save your ship and by extension, the people of Vytas III, with no regard to your personal safety.

[11:11] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: There was this thing, it's a musical piece supposed to be done or something, me and Li talked about it a few days ago; but I could not find anyone to play.

[11:11] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: And so, it did not happen.

[11:11] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: And so it is our pleasure to award you the United Federation of Planets Medal of Honor in recognition of your exemplary courage.

[11:12] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li's eyes well up with pride as he hears these words.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *eyes go wude she looks shocked*

[11:12] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Were was the arrangement to be played at?

[11:12] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles with great pride for her friend-

[11:12] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: You displayed a level of selfless courage that all Starfleet officers would be wise to emulate.

[11:12] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: I do not know, I did not get as far as finding someone, let alone the details which Li knew.

[11:12] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *he opens up the ornate box, which contains the Medal of Honor*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: I would typically pin this on you but given your current circumstances... perhaps you would prefer the box. *Arak smiles politely and offers her the box*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *Goes to attention and salutes first*

[11:13] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Why didnt you ,  requsistion  some mobil holo emiters, and   Progrm  musisions for them to play the pice?

[11:13] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *gently accepts looking at a loss for words* I. I... Um. Thank you Admiral.

[11:14] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: I should be the one thanking you, Commander. *salutes her*

[11:14] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -Blinks- I suppose, but I feel, it is too late now.

[11:15] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *ends her salute* Youve earned it *smiles* congradulations, for a second time

[11:16] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -the surrounding crew and offiers- Pilgrim's own...Salute!

[11:16] [DOIC4] [email protected]: Do you know the pice of music?

[11:17] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris salutes Aria.*

[11:17] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *blushes dark green and gingerly accepts the box*

[11:17] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: I do not... -she sighs- I should've gone and apologized right away, but instead I hid up here.

[11:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -the assembled crew and officers and those from toehr ships salute her en masse-

[11:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: other*

[11:18] [DOIC4] [email protected]: *looks over *  Well  you should not worry Li is not a hard man hes very understanding and forgiveing ,,

[11:18] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and speaks softly.* Married to a Medal of Honor receipent...

[11:18] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: In most cultures the goom's family handles the reception finances but as I was unable to come up with a suitable traditional gift, I will be assuming those responcibilities on 220, so youll have more

[11:18] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *there is some applause from the peanut gallery*

[11:19] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *giggles nerviously at that*

[11:19] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: to spread around on Risa

[11:19] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks to Aria somewhat nervously.*

[11:19] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: of course

[11:19] [DOIC4] Idria@dardez1: -Smiles brightly- Could you? Please.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Arias eyes go wide again*

[11:20] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Office works Admiral.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks up at Arak.* Admiral...I cannot express the...honor it is to have your attendance.

[11:26] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris shimmies over to Frame while everyone is focused on Aria and Li.*

[11:26] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: I feel like it's been forever since we had one of these.

[11:27] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks confused at Valkriss arm, then up to valkriss, without words asking what to do*

[11:27] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I don't really know what to say. *Aria continued to blush and beam*

[11:27] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -turns and leads Ilya out of the lounge and away from the reception-

[11:27] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That's okay, I have a decent substitute for that. *Li leans in and kisses her.*

[11:27] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He holds it out to Frame, keeping his voice low so as not to ruin the moment for anyone.* "I'm sure my infatuation will never materialize into anything substantial between us, so... think of this as

[11:27] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: I think ill make their quarters arrangement on the station a perminent one, so they have a joint home to return from while not out on shipboard assignments

[11:28] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: more of a gift to you and your marriage to work." *He chuckles sheepishly.*

[11:28] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria kissed him back clearly enjoying the evening*

[11:28] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame smiles politely and accepts the bouquet* [Frame] Like I said before. You're unstoppable.

[11:28] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -leads her down to the promenade and turns and then looks to her- Better?

[11:28] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: I think they've more than earned it.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Might want to check the carnation at the top." *He nudges Frame's forearm with his elbow.*

[11:29] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Commander Wallace is watching the pair dance with a tear in her eye*

[11:29] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I do not enjoy the ammount of people here, however that medal cermony was beautiful... I am sorry I failed to see how important this is to you.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame gives him a skeptical look and checks the flower, finding the coin. He reads it over and seems to be at a loss for words*

[11:29] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -softly- That was not what....stung. What stung is you did not speak to me before you chose for us.

[11:30] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yes, I am very bad at this relationship thing. I just thought of how much I wanted not to be here, I failed to think beyond myself... I am sorry.

[11:30] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Victor finally looks up from his drink and shuffles over the Frame and Serris, apparently just noticing them*

[11:31] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li continues to speak softly, breaking the kiss.* Did you like the ceremony?

[11:31] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -draws a breath- I ...understand...we are both learning. So....shall we take our leave then?

[11:31] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris glances over to the one, the only, Victor J. Springfield, Esq.*

[11:31] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria smiled and nodded*

[11:32] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I take it you just sort of happened into the reception?"

[11:32] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I was so nervious it went reallt fast. *Aria giggled*

[11:32] [DOIC4] [email protected]: *hits a b utton and the music fills the bridge   : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCXy5SkdO30

[11:32] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: If you wish to stay here we stay. So far the level of syntohol has been... ... No one has made an utter disgrace of themselves here.

[11:33] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I wanted it to be brief but...meaningful.

[11:33] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] I always find myself in weird places. *he moves in to give Frame a handshake, which turns into a bro hug*

[11:33] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] I haven't seen you in forever.

[11:33] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -reaches up to firmly yet tnderly cup her chin- We do not need to remain, my duties to the bride have been discharged and the groom sufficently threatened

[11:33] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: It was. *Aria pecked him reassuringly*

[11:34] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *to Meranda* I'm so proud of what the Pilgrim has accomplished over the last year or so.

[11:34] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Seems you're in the company of a lot of old friends today."

[11:34] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I... will let you decide what you want to do.

[11:34] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] I didn't want to interrupt, I just wanted to say hello.

[11:35] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *nods* theyve been busy

[11:35] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: ... Did you present them with our gift?

[11:35] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Awhile after the Song Aria's Dad walks up* Mind if I borrow her for a song? *he asks Li with a smile and a tear in his eye*

[11:35] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li stops dancing and nods.* Ummm...should I dance with your mom?

[11:35] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] I'll be here for a while. We don't have new orders yet.

[11:35] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Don't worry about interrupting. Honestly, it's probably healthy for me to be a little more social outside of my comfort zone. I tend to spend my time almost exclusively in the Pilgrim's science lab."

[11:35] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] That's good. Because I'm sauced, and I need to go lie down.

[11:36] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] Oh, a scientist, huh?

[11:36] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] Looks like you bagged a smart one, Frame.

[11:36] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] Oh my god, Victor.

[11:36] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Scurries across the bar and toward the DJ-

[11:36] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: Perhaps you should get your dance with the bride hmm, probably a tradition in there some place

[11:36] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria giggles* No but you can dance with yours.

[11:36] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *scratches his chin* A good idea....

[11:37] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods still holding her gaze- Indeed it is wrapped and awaiting them on the gift table

[11:37] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* You know more about this part than I do. *He laughs and invites Meru out onto the floor and begins dancing with her.*

[11:37] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak approaches Aria*

[11:37] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He just sort of shrugs, rocking on his heels.* "If anything, it's more of a one-sided cat and mouse infatuation."

[11:37] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: A dance, Commander?

[11:37] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Understood

[11:37] [DOIC2] Idria@dardez1: -Pokes the DJ and offers the program to the DJ, whispering-

[11:37] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: A dance, Commander?

[11:37] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He's a wonderful guy, but I'm clearly not his type."

[11:38] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] So Frame is chasing you around, huh?

[11:38] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame sighs*

[11:38] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Other way around. He enjoys being chased, but not getting caught."

[11:38] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Has a slow Father Daughter Dance with her Dad who looks like hes going to cry about his little girl being grown up but looks happy*

[11:38] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak waits*

[11:39] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Fx] The DJ plays the following song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LywMHD_pDTA

[11:39] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] Oh wow! I love this song.

[11:39] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Victor begins to dance awkwardly in place*

[11:39] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -leans down to softly yet firmly trace her fangs up along Ilya's neck ridge before holding her eyes- Th skirt...was a lovely touch loQ wa'

[11:39] [DOIC2] Idria@dardez1: -Jumps down and smiles to herself, scurrying off-

[11:40] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I figured you would like such an inmodest deathtrap.

[11:40] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Are you okay, Lieutenant?"

[11:40] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] He likes his liquor.

[11:40] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles some- I was tocuhed by the gesture

[11:40] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Oh. I've never had any."

[11:40] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] *abruptly stops* Say, uh... what was your name again? *looks at serris*

[11:40] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Glad to do something right...

[11:40] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Serris Zital."

[11:40] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *After the song Her dad hugs her and walks off to go talk with the new inlaws Aria accepts a dance with Admiral Verdann*

[11:40] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Arak steps up and starts to dance with Aria*

[11:40] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: ...am I that bad with you?

[11:41] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li completes the dance with his mom and then invites Aria's mom onto the floor for a dance.*

[11:41] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -hides away around the back of the bar-

[11:41] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] Okay, Serris Zital. Have you ever smoked cigarette?

[11:41] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: No, But I have a bad streak on choises when it comes to us it seems... I am glad you like it, Savor it while you can *she smirks faintly*

[11:41] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *FYI, it was a holo emitter, not just a song playing*

[11:42] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: Such a pleasure to be here.

[11:42] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Fx] *Of frank sinatra singing the song*

[11:42] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I shall...and ...your choices are not always wrong Ilya. I ...did not consider how uncomfortable such a gathering would make you

[11:42] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Seeing as I have no idea what that is, no."

[11:42] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria's Mom accepts and shares small talk with him during the dance*

[11:42] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Sometimes...the klingon method of pushing unti it breaks..is not always the correct one

[11:42] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] Look, you can't get him hooked on that stuff. Let me walk you to your quarters.

[11:42] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Victor sighs*

[11:43] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] I'll be right back, Serris.

[11:43] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Enjoy the ceremony Sir?

[11:43] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris nods, opting to go play with the giant cat.*

[11:43] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: Oh, yes. Not as much as you, I'm sure!

[11:43] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: It is not as bad as I feared, Yet... I think the medaling and the admirals pressence put people off from reckless drinking and making fools of themselves.

[11:43] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He pauses before looking at Meranda.* "Excuse me, Admiral. Is it okay if I entertain your pet?"

[11:43] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame helps an obviously intoxicated Victor to the turbolift, taking the turbolift to a residential deck*

[11:44] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Indeed...i suspect the Admiral is not one for such behavior aboard her station regardless

[11:44] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: yes of course

[11:44] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame steps off the turbolift* [Frame] What, weddings make you depressed or something?

[11:44] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris sits down on the ground to put himself on an even height with Sheds and smiles, tilting his head.*

[11:44] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Victor] Well what do you think Angel?

[11:44] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: [Frame] Fair enough. *he walks Victor to his quarters and makes sure he's settled on the couch*

[11:44] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria smiled at that*

[11:45] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: We might need to give Idria a deck of aces to practice on.

[11:45] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *For the next song the DJ accepts Idria's suggestion. A new song begins to play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS98MygfoOE*

[11:45] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Idria? why is this?

[11:45] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame walks out of Victor's quarters as Victor curled up on the couch to sleep it off.*

[11:45] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: She did not even recognise the commanding officer of the 22nd fleet.

[11:46] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris walks over to Sheds and begins to gently stroke his thick coat of fur on his side.*

[11:46] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *He approached the turbolift, the doors of which slid open to reveal two pale men in all-black civilian clothing.*

[11:46] [DOIC5] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame sighed.* [Frame] Look who it is. The wonder twins. *he spoke as he entered the turbolift, the doors closing as Frame's scene faded out...*

[11:47] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -crnges and chuckles- Poor Idria....she does try so hard

[11:47] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Eventually Arak yields Aria to one of the other people waiting for a dance* Once again Commander... I can't give you enough thanks or congratulations.

[11:48] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Thank you Sir. Thank you for coming too. *Aria continues to beam glowing happily at this point*

[11:48] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I seen snakes with more spine then her... Not that she is a bad person, but who thought it was a great idea to put a invertebrate as a security and tactical officer?

[11:48] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li then accepts a dance with Zeha Sila, the lone female from his group of friends attending.*

[11:48] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Gives Aria a hug* I wish you two all the best. *Arak walks back toward the lounge*

[11:49] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You are the most gentle giant I've ever seen, yes you are." *He continues to pet Sheds, now with both of his hands. Even at full standing height, the top of his head is likely either even with the -

[11:49] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - sehlat's back or slightly shorter.*

[11:50] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -shakes her head- I do not know..i think when the time comes...she will show plenty of spine to protect the ship andthose she cares for

[11:50] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Commander Wallace approached Arak* [Wallace] They really are a wonderful crew.

[11:50] [DOIC2] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: Aye, that they are.

[11:51] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I see potentional in her

[11:51] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: You do see odd things in odd people.

[11:52] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and says softly to her - I saw such in you and was right

[11:52] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks back over to Aria after dancing and embraces her, leaning into another kiss.*

[11:52] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Yea yea...

[11:52] [DOIC2] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *SMiles and gently takes Li's hand* We will be back for more dancing in a few we um need to talk to someone real quick.

[11:52] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Despite Serris saying that he probably needed to be more social, he spent the rest of his time at the party playing with Meranda's pet before calling it quits and heading back to the Pilgrim.*

[11:52] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I did...

[11:53] [DOIC1] Arak Verdaan@atemporal: *Frame will run into Serris in the transporter room and return with him to the Pilgrim*

[11:53] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: and i do not regret it

[11:54] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Most of the time

[11:54] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks around then smiles at the Admiral*

[11:54] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: No...anger is not regret

[11:54] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *returns the smile*

[11:55] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -looks across to Li and Aria-

[11:55] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: You usually send me to sickbay when angry, Not to babysit.

[11:55] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ummm...Admiral?

[11:55] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: That...not anger

[11:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Looks around* Probably quiet enough here its just a quick question Admiral.

[11:55] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: what can i do for you

[11:55] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: i was the first time...you made me feel ...not a part of you

[11:55] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: it*

[11:55] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: *Frowns* How many emotions are there?

[11:56] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I was raised with humans...there are many

[11:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well um we um. *fidgets clearly nervious* We were just um wondering if starfleet has any plans to change its stance of um families on starships any time soon...

[11:56] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and holds her hand.* Aria and I were...considering...starting one...together.

[11:56] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I was raised on earth to. There was hate, Anger, Sadnes, A desire to kill... loathing... disgust... Alright fine, Humans spark many emotions, I get the point.

[11:57] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: You mean children?

[11:57] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.*

[11:57] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Funny..i felt...joy accptance...love...happiness...adoration

[11:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: If its not we can wait. I just. Um we are curio... Yeah.

[11:57] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Among humans?

[11:57] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods-

[11:57] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Must have stood in the wrong line when they handed out that.

[11:58] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- Ilya...i was even what is called a 'cheerleader' in secondary school

[11:58] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: ... Really?

[11:58] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods-

[11:58] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Explains the legs...

[11:58] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *clearly slipped into a deep and unsure thought process*

[11:58] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: My nurse feared i may have hurt the other children had i payed their game of gridiron

[11:59] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I played MMA.

[11:59] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Or.. practice... exersise?

[11:59] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Mixed martial arts...i know the style

[11:59] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: With everything thats been going on over the last year and some, id not even considered that... it'll require alot of thought

[11:59] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I got to legaly beat the living shit out of people!

[11:59] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I am..quite accomplished at most forms

[12:00] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I do not shy away from battle...i am just good at cheering as well it seems

[12:00] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Nods* Yes Sir understood.

[12:00] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Of course.

[12:00] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I learned to be...a degree more feminine than most of my people

[12:00] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: its a big consideration for you to make but theres something you need to understand about that too

[12:01] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: if something should happen, i would feel the burden i can assure you almost as equally as you would

[12:01] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Where you good at school? Good grades and such?

[12:01] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods-

[12:02] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think everyone would...we are a family ma'am.

[12:02] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I ...enjoyed school...after i ..made friends

[12:02] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: i bear the responcibility for every soul in this fleet, i feel each ones passing, but its a life of service they chose, a child though, it'll require alot of thought

[12:03] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria nodded* That's understandable Sir. I just figured there was no harm in asking given how long that was part of starfleet culture.

[12:03] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I really disliked school. But eidetic memory and perfectionist parents made sure I had good grades... and if you have no friends, more time to study.

[12:03] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles at her.* Aria and I aren't going anywhere ma'am...other than to Risa for a week.

[12:03] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles0 I managed both Ilya

[12:04] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: no, there isnt harm in asking, i really should have expected it eventually

[12:04] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Yes, you are superwoman after all *smirks*

[12:04] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -laughs- Oh No...I um....had my issues too

[12:04] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Guess we will have to start training you with something easier first Li... Maybe a puppy. *giggles*

[12:05] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: After all...you are dating a disgrace to her house

[12:05] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs and leans down to pet Sheds.* What about something like this?

[12:05] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: i'll have to call a conference on the matter, get the input from all my flag officers

[12:05] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: If Cardassians more house-focused, im sure id be one too.

[12:05] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria beams at that* Thank you SIr!

[12:05] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I do not agree

[12:05] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: this is a call i shouldnt undertake alone really, much to consider

[12:05] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks up at her.* We both appreciate how serious you are taking this, ma'am.

[12:05] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: to most cardassians today...you are someone to be proud of

[12:06] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: *laughs* Yea right...

[12:06] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: The only ones who would look down upon you..were the types thar drove their Union to ruin with the Dominion alliance

[12:06] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: theres nothing more serious then my crews, everything in the fleet is there for them, even me

[12:06] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I am not even welcome on the planet I am anamed after... talk about object of pride.

[12:07] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Ilya....honor...a dedication to duty....a sense of personal pride..if those are ill concepts to most cardassians...then they have no true sense of race

[12:07] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: You are an example for them

[12:07] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Thank you sooo much Sir. *Aria barely restrains herself from hugging the other woman* That was all we should probably get back to the party I hope you are enjoying yourself.

[12:07] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: on a slightly different but not totaly unrelated note

[12:08] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -laughs- You shame most of them on dignity alone

[12:08] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: I'll be instituting a new station policy, beginning with the two of you.

[12:08] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I do not think dedication to duty coutns when its dedication to starfleet. and personal pride... I lost most of that.

[12:08] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria tilts her head listening curiously*

[12:09] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -frowns and shake sher head- There is no loss of personal honor iin the uniform you wear

[12:09] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Personal pride and personal honour are different things.

[12:09] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: Youve been assigned perminent cohabitation quarters aboard 220 to act as a join residence while not out on assignments, you may decorate and furnish it as you see fit and it will be treated legally as

[12:09] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: an established legal civilian residence

[12:10] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Of course they are...but you are not a dishonorable person....and you should be proud of this

[12:10] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: One mans hero is another person vilian.

[12:10] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: it wont be thus subject to military regulation such as inspection, in so long as it doesnt interfere with the safe operation of this facility

[12:10] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li's mouth opens a bit, stunned for a moment. He quickly regains his composure.* Umm...thank you ma'am...very much.

[12:10] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria beams* THank you Sir.

[12:10] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Ilya...if they are the opposite of you then they are indeed a villian

[12:11] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: To them I am. I betrayed my people. The highest crime a cardassian can do... more or less, spare some special details

[12:12] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: youre welcome, a family needs a home to return to and though your ship is like your home, its not truely home, for a family

[12:12] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Ilya..you do understand that the government.....is not the True Way, yes?

[12:12] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria beams and nods*

[12:12] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.* Especially if we are permitted to...start a family.

[12:12] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: The true way and the government is not the same. no.

[12:13] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: The current Cardassian goverment would not see you as a villian

[12:13] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: We are not allies but not hostiles

[12:13] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: oh you can legally start a family any time you wish, my flag officers and i have to come to a desission about children onboard their commands though

[12:13] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.*

[12:13] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: They would, They are just broken spineless little puppets who would do it to not upset the federation. But behind closed doors, To them I am a person non grata

[12:14] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think Aria and I would want to be active part of any child's life...hence our request.

[12:14] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- The Federation are not bck breaking conquorers either

[12:14] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: no question

[12:14] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: No, Even if we have elements within us that are... truly a disgrace to what we stand for.

[12:15] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks around for a moment, his eyes settling on Idria and waving toward her.*

[12:15] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: i'll let you know once a desission has been reached, id recomend you start lobbying your emediate command though, they will be part of that desission process

[12:15] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Good idea.

[12:15] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Indeed,,,and as recent events have shown us...Starfleet and the governmnt..come down hard on such elements when discovered

[12:16] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: if you cant sell your own captain, well.. so id begin there now

[12:16] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.*

[12:16] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Projecs like Salvation and even Avalon..are dismantled in disgrace,,,their assests seied or destroyed

[12:16] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: seized*

[12:16] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Those types of projects are erased now...they are no more

[12:17] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I would not seve the federation if I did not whole heartedly belive in it... Even if I as an individual hate people... I really, really belive in what the federation stands for. But always being >

[12:17] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Point taken Admiral.

[12:17] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: gives them their quarters information and location*

[12:17] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: > Reactive is not good enough. The federation fails there. Reacting to constant issues is not the way to go, it is cheap... lacking and... while the best we can do, not something to ever find >

[12:18] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: > acceptible. That does not change my loyality in any way. But everythign has flaws, And I will not paint them down.

[12:18] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: theres standard furnishings in there now, feel free to make changes you like though, its your place

[12:18] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thank you again Admiral...*Li looks to Aria and then back to Idria.* Ummm...can I have one more dance with someone?

[12:18] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Nor should you...but there is the weakness of a society such as ours...we can not fire until we know we have a true and deserving target

[12:19] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: That depends is the special someone not me? *giggles and smirks*

[12:19] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: Not me Lieutenant, if thats what your thinking, dancing has to many lifetimes of memories

[12:19] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: It is within such shadows that cowards hide and breed like roaches until we flush them out into the light

[12:19] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs and nudges over to Idria, lowering his voice.* She's kinda alone over there...

[12:19] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well then lets go talk to her.

[12:19] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *pats her belly* ive got another with me always

[12:20] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: A truly horrible weakness. however, had we actually -tried- to root them out. I belive we would done better. That said. I am a junior officer who flies stuffs, not a politican or flag officer.

[12:20] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li chuckles and nods.* If you'll excuse us Admiral...we have a fellow officer to take care of.

[12:20] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Once the scars were seen.it was in fact this very fleet that did so

[12:20] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: of course, enjoy yourselves

[12:21] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: and you were a part of taking them down....as was I

[12:21] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li approaches Idria.*

[12:21] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I too paid a price to such organizations Ilya

[12:21] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Yet it was not enough, you stomped out one big boogieman, and ten came to its funeral.

[12:21] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *SMiles at Idria* Enjoying the party?

[12:21] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: and were disbanded

[12:21] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: The government and starfleet saw to it

[12:21] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Offers a polite smile to the pair, then looks to Aria- Ofcourse.

[12:22] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: There are no shadows there any longer...now we keep watch

[12:22] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Starfleet intelligence still exists, So does section 31... aledgedly. and countless monsters lurking in the shadow

[12:22] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I noticed the piece with the Bajoran flute...it was a nice touch. *He bows respectfully.* Thank you.

[12:22] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: What he said. *smiles*

[12:22] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Smiles at Li- I told you I'd come back when I found some music.

[12:22] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: and Starfleet Intelligence...the real ones..are hounding S31 and their ilk

[12:22] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Intellgience is no longer tied up by corrupt Projects

[12:23] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I was wondering if you would do me the honor of a dance before Aria and I head off to Risa?

[12:24] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Starfleet intelligence is more corupt then a rotting corpse. not untill the yare disbanded can those wounds heal, yet those wounds will be scars, never truly healed.

[12:24] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Isn't it what best friends are for? -she smiles- ofcourse.

[12:24] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: How did we get to talk about this gloomy topics?

[12:24] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and nods, heading back over to the floor.*

[12:24] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- Perhaps our natural charm?

[12:24] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Probably

[12:24] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li turns to the DJ* Play something...happy.

[12:25] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria looks around and small talks with various people even some FNN show fans since the familiar faces are mostly gone*

[12:26] [DOIC2] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [DJ] *A new track begins as Li starts to dance:* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM

[12:26] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles some- I think  I am the optimist

[12:26] [DOIC2] Idria@dardez1: -Dancs with Li to the new track-

[12:26] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: There is an old saying... I like it a lot actually

[12:26] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh?

[12:26] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: [nice choice Jon!]

[12:27] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: The pessimist sees the surrounding darkness. The optimist sees the light in the tunnel, The realist sees the aproaching tram. The tramdriver sees Three people, regardless of thier view of life that >

[12:27] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: > in moments are equaly dead, resting side by side all the same.

[12:28] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -blinks and laughs-

[12:28] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: *smiles*

[12:28] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: I believe I would just not stand there and get run over

[12:28] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I think the story is plaied out in a narrow tram tunnel...

[12:30] [DOIC1] Meranda@Greyfreth: *After a while M quietly makes her exit, heading for her own quarters with much to think about on her mind*

[12:30] [DOIC] Meranda@Greyfreth: ok think ill head out now :)

[12:32] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks impishly- and as a pilot of course it is noted then ..that you would be the tramdriver

[12:33] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Perhaps

[12:33] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Should we go and congratulate the commander?

[12:33] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li returns to Aria after the dance is over.*

[12:34] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles to her- I think we should...you sure you are ready to go back?

[12:34] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Lets hope so

[12:35] [DOIC2] Valkriss@Isis.: -a music selection of Val's now plays-  [  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN9jTnxv0RU  ]

[12:35] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Have fun?

[12:35] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -offers her, her arm once more- Then shall we?

[12:35] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: *locks arm with val*

[12:36] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -leads her back to the lounge, interlocking her fingers with Ilya's-

[12:36] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* I did.

[12:36] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ready for Risa?

[12:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -crnges knowing Ilya heard the risa reference as they walk up-

[12:37] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Looks around* Pretty empty now I guess we can sneak out now. *smirks*

[12:37] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oh Hey guys!

[12:38] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Did you enjoy the ceremony?

[12:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I did, congradulations to you both...and again to you Aria for a much deserved award

[12:38] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *blushes darkly* Thanks.

[12:39] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Be ready for th Admiral salutes whenver youa re in your whites from now on

[12:40] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Congratulations.

[12:41] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oh gosh I didnt even think of that.

[12:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles proud of her- Oh yes...the medal warrent one no matter the rank

[12:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: warrents*

[12:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Even the President has to acknowledge it

[12:43] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Only two other officers have earned such in the 22nd

[12:43] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods and adds.* She deserved it.

[12:43] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: She did at that

[12:43] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Wow... It was... A total suprise I didnt even know I was put in for anything.

[12:43] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: Usually how it goes with medals

[12:43] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles- The captain and I both signed off on it the night of the mission

[12:44] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and Admiral Kalavek pushed it through the COuncil hearings

[12:44] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: I would appriciate if you did not do it again. Announcing your death was not as fun as one would think I would find it.

[12:44] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: No....nor was it ...worth hearing such

[12:45] [DOIC3] Ilya@Illuice: So no more dying on the job.

[12:45] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I can speak from experience...it's no fun having people think you are dead...

[12:45] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Aria- You have used up your quota Aria

[12:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: [and please dont shoot us]

[12:46] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* The Prophets gave her another chance as they did I...

[12:46] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Prophets *scoffs*

[12:46] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles and blushes* I just did my job.

[12:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Be nice -to Ilya-

[12:47] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: You look amazing in your gown Aria....it was the perfect choice....as do you Li

[12:48] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thank you Commander.

[12:48] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Stinks that none of the ones we had lined up for you worked out.

[12:48] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I'm glad you changed your mind on coming too Ilya.

[12:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I thoght it might be best to wear my whites...as opposed to looking like a walking doiley

[12:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Sometimes life gives you second chances...

[12:49] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* All of you looked nice...

[12:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks over to Ilya at this and nods- Yes..yes it does

[12:51] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li turns Aria and plants another kiss on her lips, giving her a very eager look.*

[12:53] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li whispers in her ear.* Risa...

[12:53] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: So how long will the ilgrm be stationary?

[12:53] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks some impishly and lets Ilya ask this of the pair-

[12:54] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Well,...we will be for a bit with the ion storm sweeping in -to Ilya-

[12:54] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It why the Admirals all rushed off

[12:54] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: We have a week of leave lined up...*Li says while looking into Aria's eyes.*

[12:54] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Um I dont know you guys might head out before we get back then you will have to deal with Mcdonald.

[12:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I was more thinking the ship would not go anywhere with the chief engineer on Risa.

[12:54] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Well..i dunt know..its a pretty big storm coming in

[12:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well um we need to get going then. Bye!

[12:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *grabs Li's hand and rushes off with him*

[12:55] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Half waves goodbye to Li-

[12:55] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Don't do anything Valkriss owund not do.

[12:55] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -tries to hide her smile as she watches the pair dart off and the cracks up-

[12:55] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Half is left staring at the other two-

[12:55] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -eyes Ilya- You are really still leanring a lot about me arent you?

[12:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Indeed

[12:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I suppose you do not approve of bikinis?

[12:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Academy did not offer any courses on "Valkriss"

[12:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh it is a populr curse so i hear

[12:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li emerges from the back of the shuttle, now dressed comfortably.*

[12:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -leads her over for a drink-

[12:57] [DOIC3] Valkriss@Isis.: -yeah no ion storm at all is heading in-

[12:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Bikinis? They can serv ethier purpose. But I would not be cought dead in one.

[12:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You know...I don't see any storms on long range sensors...

[12:57] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I look rather nice in them..i find them comfortable

[12:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Im sure you do

[12:57] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Maybe she wanted some alone time at the open bar with Ilya. *Aria giggled*

[12:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -waves Idria over to join them0

[12:58] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Shuffles around to them-

[12:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: So no objection to me wearing them if we go to a beach or to swim?

[12:58] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Speaking of which. *Aria beep booped the console setting up the auto pilot* Its a long flight and we are newlyweds...

[12:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs and walks over to kiss her.* Oh? What do Earth newlyweds do?

[12:59] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: As long as I do not have to wear anything I do not wish to wear, you can wear whatever you want, however I may complain about lacking modesty if such is the case.

[12:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: How is it a lack of modesty?

[12:59] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Walking in a bikini further then 50m from the waterline is unmodest.

[1:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: well naturally

[1:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: which is why i pften choose to add a nice sarong

[1:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *sighs*

[1:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I like wetsuits.

[1:00] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Wetsuits?

[1:09] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: What about Idria...a bikini girl or a one piece?

[1:10] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Rok turns and after a few moments returns to the sourbliz and... a glass of cherry coke.*

[1:11] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: I have not been swimming since... a long time.

[1:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods her thanks to Rok and has a long sip enjoying her drink-

[1:12] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Picks her thumbs harder- No I do, I just uh haven't been.

[1:18] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: My home exploded to tiny fragments... was spectacular. *she smirks*

[1:19] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I am sosry about that Ilya...-to Idria- then if i am not prying..what weighs on your mind?

[1:20] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Metaphor or like drowning drowning?

[1:21] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: My brother drowned in the ocean, outside oue house 10 years, 9 months, 25 days -she checks her watcj- 11 hours 14 minutes ago.

[1:22] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: .... Is that accounting for time variency of your home and our current location?

[1:24] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: f he drowned Ilya she lost him

[1:24] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yes, but today is not the "Anneversiry" so it is not the same day?

[1:24] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: We were swimming, as we usually did at that time of year, he got caught by a current. -she sounds more abrasive- I was the older one, I was supposed to look after him. -she calms slightly- But I >

[1:25] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: fine...-concedes the point as she listens to Idria-

[1:25] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: > didn't, he was my only friend, the only person who didn't make fun of me.

[1:26] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -frowns some- Idria...how old were you? you could not have been older than your mid teens

[1:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Dont drown yourself over it. Take something to drink, What do you like?

[1:27] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: I was fourteen. -she says frankly, she looks suprisd a little by Ilya- I mostly drink the earth orange juice.

[1:28] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Nog, Rog... Ferengi? A large cold earth orange juice.

[1:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Idria..i grew up next to the sea as well...undetows and currents sweep away the strongest of swimmers..this was just...his fate..not your failing

[1:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It was his time...and knowing what i know of you...i am sure he met it bravely

[1:30] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -She smiles gravely- He was brave, braver than me... I have not been swimming since. I did not have another friend... until... until. -she gives Val a sincere look- You.

[1:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Indeed....and we are friends Idria

[1:31] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Smiles warmly-

[1:31] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: What was your brother's name

[1:31] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: [Rok] Coming right up! -brings the drink over to the trio-

[1:31] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Khallid.

[1:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Then you owe it to Khallid to be as brave as he and not yied to your fear...if you enjoy to swim..then for him an for you...swim.

[1:33] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: [Rok] -to Ilya= and my name is Rok

[1:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: You can swim on the holodeck, No risk of accidents there... a safe first step

[1:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks at Rok* Alright, Rok. can I have a refill?

[1:34] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to what Ilya said- llya is remarkably talented as a holoprogramer..maybe she can help you

[1:34] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -Takes the orange juice, taking several sips, she contenplates- That is a good idea.

[1:34] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: [Rok] coming right up -picks up her drink to mixx her  anew one and returns with it- Here you go

[1:35] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks to valkriss for a while then at Idria* Sure... Ill... make a beach program for you, any special details that would make you feel better?

[1:35] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Thanks Rok

[1:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I think Khallied would be proud to see ..his death no lnger can harm you

[1:35] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: I don't think so, Ilya.

[1:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: [Rok] -smiles ot her and returns to wiping down the bar top-

[1:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to Ilya and then to Idria- she is really good at it Idria

[1:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Trust me ive seen her work

[1:36] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: I trust her. -smiles brightly-

[1:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: But...you do not think she should help you?

[1:37] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: I would be grateful for her help -she looks confused- There is no way I could program it.

[1:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh I though you said you did not think so to her

[1:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -now is the one who looks confused-

[1:39] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: M-aybe I worded it wrong.

[1:40] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Its okies i might have just misunderstood is all

[1:40] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Would you like to swim at Key west?

[1:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks at Ilya- where is that?

[1:41] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Key West? It sounds like as good a place, I guess.

[1:41] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Euhmm.. do you know where Florida is?

[1:42] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Mexico?

[1:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh!

[1:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh the small chain of islands under the dangly part of the continent

[1:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Mexican gulf atleast. Key west is the southmost point of Florida, really warm thanks to the mexican gulf, I lived there for a while as a child.

[1:43] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles- I have never been there...to be honest....just to Fort Lauderdale

[1:43] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Somphore year...spring break

[1:43] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I spent most my childhood living in Florida. Went to school there. Key west was by far my favorite.

[1:43] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: I have only been to San Francisco.

[1:44] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Idria- you never took spring break?

[1:44] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Then I guess you will see key west.

[1:44] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles to Ilya- Thank you for this Ilya

[1:45] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: Well I went to the Washington D.C one.

[1:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: ... You are welcome.

[1:45] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: But that was for a short time.

[1:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *speaks an awefully british english for someoen who has lived in florida for a long time*

[1:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- I visted there once myself...psrt of the academy history field trip...london Beijing , Moscow Tokyoa berlin...

[1:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and ofourse Paris

[1:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Ever visited Portsmouth?

[1:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- I did

[1:48] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: In Virginia?

[1:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Its where I am born.

[1:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: No.. Porthsmouth England.

[1:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Idria- It is in England

[1:48] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: But there is a Portsmouth in Virginia

[1:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The birthplace of the tall ships...

[1:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Is there?

[1:49] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: i thought there was... I saw it on a map one time.

[1:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Of course was America not once a colony of England's? mght explain the similar names with new slapped on them

[1:50] [DOIC1] Idria@dardez1: -nods-

[1:50] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Very rich in naval history there. Amazing museums.

[1:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I went an saw Portsmith after i was..tkane to see the Admiral Nelson memorial

[1:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: taken*

[1:51] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Did you se Victory?

[1:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -Nods- Indeed I did

[1:51] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: As a kid I loved that thing.

[1:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I loved seeing her...she remains on active duty

[1:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: as with the Constition

[1:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *smirks faintly* First ship I ever stood on the helm of... at seven years old.

[1:52] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The last of the national warships on active duty

[1:52] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles- do you have a hloprogram of her at sea?

[1:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: That too, but I got to touch the actual wooden wheel of the real thing!

[1:54] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It must have been amazing

[1:54] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I actualyl love that period of history

[1:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: For seven year old me it most certianly was.

[1:54] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -laughs- it would be amang for me now

[1:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Absolutely

[1:54] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: amazing*

[1:55] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I had no idea you loved the period of the tall ships

[1:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I did not nessesarily love the period as I loved that one ship. But yes... It is how I know all these odd naval traditions... I was a fan.

[1:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I understand more why you took the loss of your ship so much to heart now

[1:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: ... The ship was home, but she was also a warship, any warship going out in battle has a good decomissioning. It is the lives that went down with her.

[1:57] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods= I understand it was the same for me withthe Hannover

[1:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: She was a Gal-X class dreadnought

[1:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: She,,,,-clears her throat some as it tightens- WAS my home

[1:59] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Ark Royal had the... prestige of carying a very renowned name... Like Enterprise.

[1:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: As did the Hannover....in service since before the Tzenkathi war

[2:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and I served as a Delta officer....we strode the stars as if we were giants

[2:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: And now we are stuck on a puni sience boat.

[2:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I,,,,was honor bound to come here

[2:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: How come?

[2:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It was where she was to be assigned...she grew weary of war.

[2:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Oh...

[2:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: When she fell....i refused promotion and a team of my own...to take charge of protecting those like her

[2:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: That is why i remain here

[2:02] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Well.. you know why I am here

[2:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to her- we needed a pilot?

[2:02] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: You have Eldax. You do not need a pilot.

[2:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to her- Why did you stay withus?

[2:04] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Becourse the XO told me to request transfer that early reflects bad on your duty record. *she smirks*

[2:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks down- I might..have been biased some

[2:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: but it does reflect poorly on you

[2:05] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Besides... I have a position where I get to fly, I get to do tactical, and eve nhold conn at Lt JG. As far as diversity and personal development... it probably does not become much better.

[2:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -softer- Well I am..glad you chose to stay

[2:07] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: And said Xo insisted that I should widden myself and stop being satisfied with just being a pilot and be an officer of command division. And my current position suffices at that. Then tehre are >

[2:07] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > personal reasons. Ships should not be split in two, including relationships.

[2:09] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: As I said....I am..very glsd that you stayed

[2:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yea... Then that it is a silly sience boat... guess its a sacrefice that has to be done.

[2:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *she smirks*

[2:10] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Indeed....and the next sacrifice on duty stations will be mine.

[2:10] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks in return-

[2:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: I do not think that is the case

[2:10] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: We will see

[2:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: It is easier to move a LT JG to follow a commander, then to move a commander to follow a LT JG.

[2:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: True...I am unsure starfleet knows what to do with me as it is

[2:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I do not think they expected me on the command track

[2:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: You will probably be the XO of some ship untill you either become a high level teacher, or a captain.

[2:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Cant see you as the administratie type

[2:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- No..I would be miserabe behind a desk

[2:13] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yes...

[2:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and you insufferable if i did so

[2:13] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Oh yes, the desk pilot jokes would never end.

[2:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles to her genuine- thank you by the way

[2:14] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: For?

[2:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Being here

[2:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and being you

[2:14] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Yea... Ill send the bill later.

[2:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- Oh you still owe me by the way...i have not forgotten

[2:15] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: ...... Fine...

[2:15] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I wil show you how much when we choose to retire for the evening- an impish yet feral twinkle inher eyes as she looks to her-

[2:15] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *blushes*

[2:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Should sickbay be alerted?

[2:16] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: For us both...perhaps

[2:16] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles and places her hand gently over Ilya's on the bar- For now..i am just enjjjoying the moment

[2:17] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: Good thing with small sience boats, not a to unmanageble crowd to pester.

[2:18] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Indeed it is -smiles- indeed it is
