Sentinel Midweek 11/16

[10:08] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Kessie had finally emerged from her quarters after quite some time of rest and recouperation. It seemed things had died down a little around the ship so she made herself go to the mess hall for some-

[10:08] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: - food.*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes momentarily before stepping into the mess hall. Her eyes swiftly gazed over the room before making a line straight to the replicator.*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon is quietly eating something.*

[10:11] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *She spoke quietly to the replicator while internally prepping for what she would say to Jon if he spoke up.* Green tea, hot. And a grilled cheese sandwhich.

[10:14] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Once her food swirled into existence and scooped it all up and turned for the seating area. She took in a sharp breath as she observed Jon to see what kind of state he was in before approaching.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon is in a neutral state, he looks well rested and is eating normally.*

[10:15] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *She looked down at her tea suddenly wishing she had ordered some synthale. She took a quick sip of it and carefully approached. She spoke in a very soft voice.* Hello Mister Cameron..

[10:16] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon gives her a smile as he looks up.* Hello Counselor.

[10:17] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Managed her friendly counselor smile and nodded.* Are you in the mood for some company right now?

[10:18] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Sure.

[10:18] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Have a seat. *He nods and continues eating his 'scrambled cheese'.*

[10:19] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Seemed a little surprised by his current state, though thankful. She took a seat and set her food on the table. She took another long moment to sip at her tea.*

[10:20] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon stretches in his seat, enjoying his food.* How are you?

[10:21] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Gave a small nod and continued to manage her counselor smile.* I am.. well. I have been meaning to set up a time to speak with you, though i thought it might be best to let some time pass first.

[10:21] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *She took a bite of her sandwhich to prevent her from talking more.*

[10:22] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Oh. Well I guess we could...after being able to decompress some, I feel better.

[10:23] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: I am very glad to hear that Mister Cameron. I will always be more than happy to lend an ear should you need it.

[10:24] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: You have been very kind, Counselor. I hope...to need less of your services in the future, with respect. *He takes a sip of his drink.* I suppose that will depend on a few different factors.

[10:26] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Dropped her eyes to her cup of tea which she held in both hands now. She gave a small nod and took in a sharp breath.* Of course.. I understand.. If you like, I can offer you a few names of some -

[10:26] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: - very reknown counsellors.

[10:26] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* Kessi...

[10:26] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I didn't mean I didn't want to talk to you. I just don't want to constantly need to help of a counselor. *He smiles.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Forced that well put-on counselor smile again and looked back up to him.* Of course. My apologies. I haven't actually been outside of my quarters since we got back.. How is Alice doing?

[10:30] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Oh. She's okay...a little sore. When she got tossed into the storm she ended up with a sore neck and some broken ribs.

[10:30] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: After treatment she just needs some extra rest.

[10:31] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Ahh well that is good to hear. She was of great help when we were bringing Liz in.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Took another sip of her tea and took a breath before speaking again.* Jon, I just want to take the opportunity to express my deepest sympathies and apologise for my failed action in the line of duty.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* Broken ribs and all...because she put herself in front of me when Chorus-

[10:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon stops, his brow furrowing.* I'm sorry?

[10:33] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *cringed for a brief moment and took in another deep breath before she continued again.* If I hadn't of let my emotions get the better of me.. and acted so rashly.. I feel as though the results would-

[10:34] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: - have favored.. *Her voice faulted breifly and she cleared her throat before continuing.* Would have favored your bother better.

[10:35] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* Look...I don't know exactly what you and Vic were doing...but Josh seemed to be responding to it. And suddenly he started laughing...somebody got punched, I think?

[10:36] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Her cheeks started to flush ever so slightly and she gave a small nod.* Yes. I ah.. I threw a punch. *She chewed on her lip for the briefest of moments.* Twice..

[10:38] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* See? No...it was not you who caused that battle, Counselor...it was Lieutenant Hale...*His eyes narrow.*

[10:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: His attempt to secure the Chorus caused it to believe we had betrayed it, and sparked a conflict when Doctor Specner and I had a nonviolent solution on the table.

[10:40] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *looked up at Jon curiously now.* It wasn't..? But.. Hale? What did he do?

[10:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Spencer

[10:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: He used some sort of electromagnetic discharge to attempt to disable his armor.

[10:41] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Her shoulders slumped a little and she blinked a bit in shock.* I.. I thought I had caused his assumptions of betrayal..

[10:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon reaches across the table.* Kessi...everyone worked together brilliantly...even ADRYAN...except one man.

[10:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: That is why there are dead shuttle pilots we had to collect.

[10:43] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Hell, he nearly caused Liz to die as well...

[10:44] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Gave his hand a rather firm squeeze. The news was almost overwhelming to her. Her counselor smile was gone, replaced with a genuine one. I.. I had no idea. It was so hard to understand what was -

[10:45] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: - going on in that tub.. astral plane..thing.. Gods.. i saw deacon.. and it just.. *She shook her head of that thought once again and smiled softly to Jon. Well I still wish I could've done more for -

[10:45] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Joshua..

[10:46] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Why? We won Kessi...we seperated him from the Chorus, with minimum loss of life...

[10:46] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Sat up a little in her seat as she regarded Jon.* Joshua.. he was seperated?

[10:47] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I haven't had the chance to speak with him yet, but I'm sure Billie and Donald are hard at work making sure I can eventually...

[10:48] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Placed a hand over her gaping mouth as she stared at Jon in surprise* I.. Gods.. I just thought.. after all that happened.. we had lost him..

[10:49] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* Kessi...he's alive...the last time I spoke with DeSoto, he was stablizing...

[10:50] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Oh my gosh.. I'm so sorry. I had made so many wrong assumptions when I got back to the ship.. I've only just come out of hiding after some rest. *She sunk back in her chair a little as relief poured -

[10:50] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: - over her.*

[10:51] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* My father always says...an assumption is the mother of a mistake.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Smirks* A wise man.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: So.. that punch I threw.. You said Joshua laughed about it?

[10:53] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* He was saying somebody slugged somebody...it didn't really make sense in context.

[10:53] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: But I wasn't about to argue with a reason for him to laugh.

[10:55] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Let out a soft laugh and a relieved sigh.* There was an evil older version of K'rika in there trying to ah.. well, seduce Deacon and.. well.. needless to say, she was asking for a punch to the face.

[10:56] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks up at her from his food, smirking.* Was she?

[10:56] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Darted her eyes toward her food and took a quick bite, munching on it before answering.* Quite so.

[10:58] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He chuckles softly.* Seduce eh...I wonder how that was going...

[11:00] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Well.. Joshua seemed rather worried about it.. said I had to stop him. *She gave a quick nod. that was her story and she was sticking to it.* That reminds me.. what happened to K'rika?

[11:02] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't know, I haven't seen her.

[11:02] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: So she survived?

[11:02] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* As far as I know. I'd ask Billie if you want specifics, given her guardianship.

[11:04] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Nods* I am a little concerned regarding her after all of this.. What Deacon and I saw in there.. I have to wonder if that is in any way representative of our K'rika.

[11:06] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: From what I understand...K'Rika was a participant in our plan to fool the Chorus...so I doubt we have much to worry about.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Hmm.. doesn't makse sense then from what we witnessed.. Perhaps she can explain it better once things calm down.

[11:11] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon sips his drink.* I am sorry no one properly debriefed you on the aftermath...although as you know, things have been kinda hectic.

[11:12] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Oh no, of course. No need to apologize for that. It was my own fault. Once I got back on the ship I needed to get away from all of the thoughts and emotions around me and regroup and get some rest.

[11:15] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be opposed to a bit of leave...

[11:16] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Let out a short laugh and took a drink, more interested in her tea than her sandwhich.* I think that would be advisable for all at this point.

[11:18] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I hear Risa is nice...almost every time of year. *He chuckles.*

[11:21] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Smirked softly and folded her arms around hereself.* I suppose I will find some time to speak to the captain and see if I can reccommend some leave time for all after all of this.

[11:22] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'd argue we earned it...I don't know how Starfleet felt about the opreation, but they had to know chances were slim we'd survive.

[11:25] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Nods* Tell me something Jon.. What are your plans with your brother now that he is freed from this chorus?

[11:26] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well, there is going to be charges brought against him for what happened.

[11:26] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I always knew that.

[11:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: But...I hope to be granted some sort of temporary special release so he can attend the wedding...which we can now plan in earnest.

[11:27] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Could he really be to blame for anything though?

[11:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon grimaces.* Maybe not while a part of the Chorus...but the reason he got there...

[11:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: He was a part of Salvation.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Muttered softly.* Salvation.. *There was a realization that sunk in as she mumbled the words and she looked to Jon, frowning ever so slightly.* Stephanie.. I haven't heard her since Chorus approached

[11:29] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: I hope.. I hope she is okay..

[11:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Have you checked on her...I mean...the woman back on Earth?

[11:31] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: I haven't. I don't even know where she is. Who would know that?

[11:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon gives her a look.* Commander Razzor...

[11:34] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Rubs a hand over her face with some embarrasment and managed a faint smirk.* Of course.. and gods am I glad to hear she is safe.

[11:35] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Shook her head a little and motioned to him as she changed the subject.* So when are you and Alice going to get married then?

[11:35] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon laughs.* You don't know the half of it.

[11:37] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Uhhh...well...we kinda put it off for this.

[11:38] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Grins.* Well it sounds like it's time to get back to work on that.

[11:38] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I would say so...would...you like to attend? *He smiles.*

[11:39] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Chuckles* Of course I would. That's a silly question.

[11:40] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: your brother by the way, i see a lof of you in him. He cares a great deal for you as you do for him.

[11:41] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* Consider that an invitation then...and yes...we were inseperable when we were younger.

[11:41] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: He kept mentioning he got tickets for you for a manchester united game.

[11:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon laughs.* I hope it was the rivalry game...otherwise I might have to decline!

[11:44] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Gave a little chuckle even though she had no idea what that meant.* Of course.. I think perhaps when he is well enough and if possible.. you two should go to another game together.

[11:46] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon laughs.* Only if he lets me bring Alice along in the jersey she always wears...

[11:48] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Chuckles brightly* I think he's looking forward to seeing Alice. When I spoke to him he asked if I was the girl he tricked into falling for him. *Smirked in amusement.*

[11:49] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon laughs, looking somewhat relieved.* Whew...

[11:50] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *enters the messhall with two padds (not including her wrist mounted thing) and wwaves to Jon before aproaching the cheff*

[11:51] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Grinned in amusement.* Worried what he'd think?

[11:51] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well...in the dream I had...I'm not sure if it was him, or Chorus, or a combination...but he wasn't thrilled about that prospect.

[11:52] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon waves to Therese.*

[11:54] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: A plate of Galzak, Crepes with jam and cream, please? *she offers a playfull smile to the cheff as she places her order for non replicated stuffs*

[11:54] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Smiled and offered a small wave toward Therese as well* Well I'm sure he will be delighted.

[11:55] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *The chef gives a nod and turns back to work.*

[11:55] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *walks towards Kessi and Jon* Good morning!

[11:56] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks up from his mostly finished plate of 'scrambled cheese'.* Good morning Lieutenant.

[11:57] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: And good morning to you as well. Feel free to join us.

[11:57] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Thank you! *she smiles shyly and takes a seat*

[11:59] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: How are you feeling, Miss Xylvarenn?

[12:00] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *smiles playfully to jon* Theoretically you can not say "Miss" or "Mr" xylvarenn, as a symbiont is gnederless. BUt I am good, Thank you!

[12:04] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: How are the two of you?

[12:05] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'm good.
[12:08] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Ah! my apologies. What would be the best pronouns to use for you?

[12:09] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: I am a female, But the earth custom of using "Mr" or "Miss" prior to a surename does jsut not translate well to a joined trill *She smiles*

[12:10] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Interesting. What might be better to use in place of a Mr. or Miss.?

[12:10] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shrugs and sips his drink.*

[12:11] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: If you do need a prefix to xylvarenn that is not my rank, I have a doctorate, But you can say Xylvarenn withou any prefixes for me *she smiles shyly*

[12:12] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Smiles warmly and nods.* Well Xylvarenn it is. And I am doing much better today thanks to Mister Cameron here.

[12:12] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: How about yourself?
[12:13] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: A lot better then yesterday! And Jon does know how to make one feel better *she smiles once more*

[12:14] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon blushes somewhat at that.* Err well...thank you.

[12:15] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Smirks toward jon and sips at her tea.* Perhaps I should submit my counselor badge to you Mister Cameron.

[12:15] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon's eyes go wide.* Uhhhh...I think I will stay in my seat on the bridge...

[12:16] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Neither of you knew the last counselor assigned to this crew...but I met him early on in my tenure...and he just disappeared one day. I swear we scared him off...

[12:16] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: You need to do a lot to scare a psycologist *she smiles*

[12:19] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* But seriously...I don't envy your position, Counselor. I'm just glad you're here.

[12:21] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Gave a short chuckle and shook her head.* You.. scared off the last counselor?? How is that even possible.

[12:22] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well...I'm sure you can tell by now...we're not an easy crew to manage sometimes.

[12:22] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Smiled softly toward the both of them and nodded her head in thanks.* Thank you both.. I will do my best to live up to the title.

[12:26] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon looks over to Therese.* I suppose once we reach the starbaes, I may be able to give you some piloting lessons...

[12:26] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Xylvarenn, I was in a bit of a unique situation during the Chorus event, so I did not get to see what manner you were involved.. how did your experience go?

[12:28] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: I like to think I aided in operating the devices I had sugested to remove or weakening the ESPers psycic abilities.

[12:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon sighs.* We were so close to not needing any of it...

[12:29] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: It was good we had you there though. Always important to be prepared for anything.

[12:30] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: I disagree. But I also disagree even more with the way a person without authorization intervined for the worse.

[12:31] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods and throws his hands up.* I'm trying not to dwell on it constantly...it's probably not healthy. But...people died down there because of him.

[12:33] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Someone was going to die, But we paied so much more then nessesary thanks to that mistake.

[12:34] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* Billie and I were getting through to him...combined with Kessi and Vic's efforts...I really believe it could have ended peacefully.

[12:34] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Gave a firm nod.* Probably best not to dwell on it too much right now. Things will be dealt with as they should, in the proper time and through the proper routes.

[12:34] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.*

[12:35] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Besides, you've got a wedding to plan. *She smirked at Jon and motioned her drink at him.*

[12:35] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: From what I read on the sensors, having had the peace of mine and knowlede to interprit it, That was never a possible option, You where being played I belive. But that could still have turned out so>

[12:35] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > Much better if the charade was allowed to keep going untill we could disabeled the situation more controled. *she sighs lightly and looks towards the cheffs place*

[12:36] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon shakes his head.* It was him...at least, that's what I believe.

[12:37] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Yes, That much I agree with, The deception is that you got trough to him becourse the ESPer allowed it, and was able to resume control had it no longer suited its needs. A bit like a Zhian'tara

[12:38] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Arcs a brow curiously*

[12:39] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Why would the ESPer allow him to be in such a vulernable state?

[12:39] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: I know not. I am sorry.

[12:39] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* You don't need to apologize, Lieutenant.

[12:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Not knowing is not a crime.;

[12:40] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Maybe it achived something it sought, maybe it was focused elsewhere but still was able to resume focus and dominance over the host. I am unsure of the "whys"

[12:41] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: When we were...telepathically communicating...he told me he was going to make the other voices go away for the moment.

[12:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: So we could talk.

[12:43] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: I wonder if that other voice was that adult K'rika we encountered..

[12:43] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Adult K'rika?

[12:46] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Gave a small nod.* I went with Deacon to the astral plane and we encountered Josh as well as what appeared to be an 'evil' adult versaion of K'rika. who was trying to taunt and encourage Joshua to -

[12:46] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: - give in.

[12:47] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Do you belive that Joshua was the same conciousness as the one Jon was talking to?

[12:48] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *She gave a nod.* He seemed to be talking to both Deacon and I as well as someone else.

[12:49] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: That reminds of an older way of mind washing and mental programing, perhaps that is what the ESPer was trying?

[12:50] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Took another small bite of her sandwhich and got to her feet.* I am afraid I will have to excuse myself. I have a meeting to get to shortly.

[12:50] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles and nods.* Farewell, counselor.

[12:50] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: It was lovely to talk to you councilor! Is it possible for me to schedule a meeting with you some day? Low priority?

[12:52] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: It was lovely to speak with you as well. And of course! My door is always open. You can always send me a message of a time you'd like to chat.

[12:52] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Thank you! *she smiels shyly to Kessi*

[12:53] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: Alright, I will see you both later. Have a great day.

[12:53] [DOIC1] Kessi Davem@Mouse43dz: *Made her way out with a little more skip in her step then before, taking her dishes to be recycled before exiting.*

[12:55] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: She seems kind!

[12:56] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Very much so.

[12:56] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I kinda...dumped a lot on her plate when she first came on board.

[12:58] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: That is what a councelor is there for. Even if sometimes you put a lot on their plates

[12:59] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Fortunately...I feel much of it has been resolved...or is about to be.

[1:00] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: That is good, We all have our bagage and our ghosts, it is important we deal with them, some are larger then other

[1:01] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Only one left really.

[1:01] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Ohh?

[1:02] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* Alice's future...

[1:03] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *nods and recives her foodsies* A uncertainty that haunts many on this ship.

[1:04] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I want to do everyting I can to help...*He looks down at his food.*...ultimately...there is so much I don't understand...I'm a pilot...not a scientist.

[1:06] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: At times the greatest understanding is the realization that you do not understand, nor that you can do it alone, as understanding and accepting that frees you to seek what is needed.

[1:08] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I certainly know I can't do it alone...

[1:09] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Do you remember how you told me you really wished to be a starfleet captain?

[1:09] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I do...and I still do.

[1:10] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: I know, A captain does not need to be the best at everything on the ship, nor be able to do everything alone... infact a captain who does everything alone is a horribly bad captain. What a captain >

[1:11] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > Needs to be is driving, encuraging, motivating. They need also udnerstand that "something" is wrong, or "Something" needs be done, but that is it, they do not even need to fully understand >

[1:12] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > "What" that something is... That is what the captains crew is for, and the captain eeds to trust them, guide them, and know who in the crew to turn to for what... That is you role in saving Alice.

[1:13] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon smiles.* You sound almost as if you've done this before...]

[1:13] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: 200 years is a lot of time.

[1:14] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It is far more than I expect to live.

[1:14] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *smiles* As I said before, it is not how much time you have, it wht you do with the time.

[1:16] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: And it my goal...to do my best to ensure Alice is allowed the chance to live out her time as any of us would be able.

[1:17] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: So then you have a goal, you also have an understanding of what you do have, and what you do need, Now you need to start find people who has what you need.

[1:17] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *happily nommies her food*

[1:17] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon sits back in his chair and ponders that for a moment.*

[1:18] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *keeps eating while giving Jon some time to think*

[1:19] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Endel...that's the key.

[1:20] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Endeliss somehow able to survive without a direct connection to a host body.

[1:20] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Endel is

[1:21] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: So is her a person you need on your "Crew" or is he a person you should investigate, or both?

[1:21] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Both...

[1:22] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Then you should write that down *she smiles and takes another bite*

[1:22] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods and pulls out his PADD.*

[1:22] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He makes a note.*

[1:23] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: I would perosnally recomend Shantal, She is a briliant engineer and cares deeply of Alice, and knows a lot of her

[1:23] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: The Commander is aware of the situation...and has already pledged to assist once the Chorus incident wea over.

[1:24] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Splendid! That is two, Who else?

[1:24] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon leans back in his chair.* The Director.

[1:24] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: The director?

[1:25] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* The former director of Project Salvation...and the father of Alicia Walker. Alice is...his creation.

[1:26] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *sighs slightly* Alright... I am sure he can be most usfeull. Any one or anything else that you think you need?

[1:26] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Alicia Walker's body...wherever it is currently stored.

[1:27] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: And how will you aquire that?

[1:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't know. We have to find it first.

[1:27] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't think the Director is going to give away her location...

[1:27] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *speaks very casually, not asking questions so much for her quriosity as it is to help set jons train of thoughts in the right direction*

[1:28] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: And why not? what could change that? could you do without the body?

[1:28] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I don't know for sure. I don't think...the Director may not be thrilled with what we have planned.

[1:29] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: And why is that? If that is so, is he a person you should have on your crew, or is he only a consulate or.. topic of investigation?

[1:29] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I'm not sure.

[1:30] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I do know one person I'll have on my crew.

[1:30] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Doctor Spencer.

[1:30] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Then that is something that needs to be investigated. and then you should write down the doctors name *she smiles and takes anotehr bite*

[1:31] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods and notates that.*

[1:32] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Any one or anything else that you belive will be needed or usefull?

[1:32] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Our wonderful science team. *He smiles at her.*

[1:33] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: I think you should keep it to people, as it is a compitence or a certain knowledge, personality, motivation or item you want.. saying an entire team is very contra productive in making up a chart >

[1:33] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: liek this.

[1:34] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Oh.

[1:34] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Not to say the science team, or the engineering team will nto help you, but it is to vauge and to large to include at random in the core of a project *she smiles*

[1:35] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Then I will pick my science team...consistenting of you...Lieutenant C'son...Lieutenant Stingray...and Lieutenant Davidson.

[1:35] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Still to many Jon. Unless they are only there as consultant.

[1:35] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon frowns.* They are there to crack the mysteries that I cannot...

[1:36] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Yes, but you need to difference between consulant and team members... like when the captain asigns a team to do... something on the ship, the yare often small, but free to interact with anyone they >

[1:36] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Need when nessesary.

[1:37] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: What you should think of is exactly what you need, what knowledge, trait.. person you need?

[1:37] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I need knowledge of androids...

[1:38] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: And who in the science team would you guess is best at androids, cybernetics, artificial intelligence and so on?

[1:39] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Uhhhh...I guess Val.

[1:39] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Unless you have knowledge I don't know about...

[1:39] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Indeed! and Elusive *she smiles* They should suffice to have on your team, the rest of the science team and be consulted with, maybe even trough her. But she is the person you need.

[1:40] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods and adds her to the list.*

[1:41] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Think of it a bit like a bridge, You generally have as little people as you can on the bridge, without reducing efficiency. But having to many there is also bad, isntead each person on he bridge is >

[1:41] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: to consult others.

[1:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon grins.* Can I appoint you as first officer?

[1:42] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: No.

[1:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Awww.

[1:42] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *she smiles sweetly and takes a bite*

[1:42] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I think you would be perfect for it...as you are demonstrating right now.

[1:43] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Shantal is far better, due to how involved she is in this.

[1:43] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods.* I guess you're right.

[1:44] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: And with that she posesses key knowledge, she is a very great asset both knowledge wise, Spiritual wise and morale wise.

[1:45] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: At best I would be your teacher, That is not who you wnat as your first officer generally.

[1:45] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: Well...I'm ready to learn.

[1:45] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: You are learning Jon. I am teaching you the basics of task oriented problem solving, trough a problem that is very real to you.

[1:46] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: It is real...and timley.

[1:46] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *timely

[1:48] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Yes. For good or bad

[1:50] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods and stands from the table, stretching a bit as his food and drink were long gone.* Speaking of...I should go check on her...she was quite sore after being treated for those broken ribs.*

[1:52] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Yes, The greatest thing you can do for her as individual, not as leader of the team you are creating. Is making sure the time untill there is a proper solution is as good as it can be for her >

[1:52] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > *she smiels warmly* Give her my best?

[1:53] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *Jon nods. * I have been trying to make every day together special for her since I realized she was on the clock.

[1:53] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: I will. Thank you for the help, Therese.

[1:53] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: Anytime!

[1:54] [DOIC1] Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMars: *He smiles and exits.*

[1:55] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *resumes nomming food and begisn working on the PADDs that she had originally planed to do*
