[3:31] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > now is the time. -She looks across the table at those gathered-

[3:32] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az shook her head, craning over in her seat to look at the holographic tome.*

[3:33] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *shakes his head solightly but can't help but wonder why he is here at this meeting*

[3:34] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *looks at the tome rather intensely*

[3:34] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David shakes his head.*

[3:35] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: hey am i late?

[3:35] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Not at all, quick sit down. -nodded at Lily- Let's continue.

[3:39] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: --enter the coference room, with an arm full of PADDs, quietly takes a seat.--

[3:50] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Walks into the conference room, PADD tucked under her arm.* "Apologies for ze lateness, Commander, I was dealing wiz ze... change in logistics ze personnel change brought us."

[3:51] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> --Offers Val and Caterina a nod- We are just discussig the book Caterina's team uncovered in the crypt

[3:52] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Nods, sitting down.* "Apologies for ze interruption, do go on."

[3:52] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *sighs looking briefly down at the table*

[3:53] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az swayed her legs under the table as she waited for them to proceed.*

[3:53] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: "I have some notes on that here ..somewhere."

[3:54] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -The holo display flips to the first page, which appears to mostly consist of lines of symbols, the  second page next to it seems to contain an anatomy picture of the life forms that  were >

[3:54] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > encountered on the planet- Do go ahead, Caterina.

[3:54] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *looks back to the holo*

[3:54] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: "I was only pointing that out, in case you had some questions."

[3:57] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> Very well. The first page, appears to be an explination of the author. Though it seems to lack a name, they are only referred to as the "Prophet". What is reffered to is the species, and the >

[4:14] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > is that Valrinn and his mother, appear to play a part in their religion. As Vayra plays a part in the Zor and Eve's religion. Valrinn is refered to as the Harbinger of Arka and his mother >

[4:18] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: 'The Crade' and been granted the power of Darkness. -The pages flip to an image of one such Clergyman, who is shown in dark robes and wielding some kind of staff. There are also religious markings >

[4:19] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > visible on his face- This Cradle, is the artefact that Mister K was after and which Kommander Sharpe recovered from the ruins.

[4:22] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *scratches her left eyebrow for a moment*

[4:24] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: So if priests drank from this 'cradle' and were granted power of darkness. Why did that man Ryan die such a...undignified death when he came in contact with it?

[4:24] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: "So basically this Crade is the un-holy grail?"

[4:25] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Maybe there was more than one cup... and he chose poorly," *Az whispered conspiratorially.*

[4:25] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "It may be a matter of faith.

[4:26] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -The hologram flips pages quickly again until it lands on an image of the crade. Shown here, to be a simple box. It's lid is off and black goo appears to surround it in the inscription- It is>

[4:26] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Maybe or maybe you need some space magic for it. When we encountered the 'cradle' it has some witch chanting and doing fingerdances before sending lighting to us.

[4:27] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > mentioned that only the 'worthy' may be granted the Dark's power in the book and that those who are not worthy shall be consumed by the Lady.

[4:28] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Oooh... so the Dark ate him because she didn't like his intentions?  How terrible!"

[4:28] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Of course... 'ow charming."

[4:29] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -made another note- Perhaps you should help her doctor, that black goo did't look or smell good.

[4:29] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> We are not quite sure what 'The Crade' is, asie from what is written in this book. The Black goo, whatever it is appears to grant some kind of power and does some rather digusting things to >

[4:29] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > people it touches whom whatever, or whoever doesn't like.

[4:30] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "It's always goo!"  *Az whispered to David.*

[4:30] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -Nods between Alex and Kieres- Once it has been, contained, by Magellen and the Dawn Alliance. The Doctor and Caterina may be able to study the goo.

[4:31] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I imagine ze avynei will go mad over it as well."

[4:31] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "I'm sure we'll be able to devise a quarantine protocol so we could collect some samples!'  *She nodded.*

[4:31] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: "I can help with that, goo-ology isn't realy my primary field of study.."

[4:33] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> None-the-less, this appears to be what Mister-K was looking for. We are unsure if he is in league with the Dark or not. He was first encountered in our own Galaxy and has shown himself to be >

[4:35] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > self-interested, however we cannot discount the fact he may be an agent of the Dark akin to Diamond. Unfortunately, if he was after that one... well. -The pages start to slowly flick through, on >

[4:36] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > each one there is another artefact. Some appear to minor, some appear to be rather powerful. Each comes with a few lines of text underneath it- There are a lot more.

[4:37] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *Eleria's eyes widen slightly as she looks at Lilly*

[4:37] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Sighs a bit.* "Artifact 'unting time, zen... 'ow quaint."

[4:38] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: "We are going to have a regular antique shop going, if we collect them all."

[4:38] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "But, umm... no offense to the ancient Zor or anything, but how do we know the accuracy of the other ones?  There's often small grains of truth mixed in with mythology in cultures like these!"

[4:39] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "For all we know the goo is the only one they got right?"

[4:39] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -Smiles toward Eleria and Val- There are quite some artefacts, a few have already been accounted for by the Zor, Eve, Vayra and Tarathi. However, some of them, we are unsure of where to even >

[4:39] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > begin the search.

[4:40] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nodded at that.*

[4:40] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Doesn't this book give any hints? Riddles? Or even a plain old direction?

[4:41] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "Maybe a loosely acurate sketch?"

[4:41] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, zese zhings tend to be done by riddles or prophecies. But if zere is nozhing in ze book... well, per'aps we should just keep an eye out as we travel furzher."

[4:41] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -Nods to Azacri- It is thought, that not all of them are significant. -She then turns to Alex- We have counted eight so far, which we are able to start to draw directions from.

[4:42] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "So, Commander... what artifact shall we be 'unting?:

[4:43] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *frowns slightly raising a hand for to indicate an idea*

[4:44] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> The Captain is currently talking to the Zor Zelhet and Vayra to prioritize artefacts. There are about thirty-seven mentioned by the book, eleven - including 'The Crade' are currently secured >

[4:45] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > by us. We are decyphering the location of eight. The remaining eighteen are in some shape or form lost, or have unknown whereabouts. The good news is, is that if even Vayra is unaware of the >

[4:46] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > a hint to the location of the eighteen, then it is likely Mister K is unaware aswell. -She nods toward Eleria- Go ahead, Scarlett.

[4:46] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Lilly's explanation.*

[4:47] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "I was just thinking since we found this book or tome on the planet with the artifact, maybe there will be more of them on other planets with artifacts, that together might paint a clearer and bigger

[4:47] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: picture"

[4:48] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: "The great cosmic easter egg hunt...begins today!"

[4:48] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: well what if they are linked with the artefacts i forget her name was talking of the one who was almost assassinated?

[4:48] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -nods to Eleria- That is quite possible. It might be wise. -She looks to Alex and Eleria- For you to consult astrogation charts and look for Ancient Zor settlements.

[4:48] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "Not putting all eggs in one basket, sort of"

[4:49] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *smiles at Cat*

[4:49] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Calli'an, zey are not exactly zor."

[4:49] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *looks back to Lilly and nods*

[4:49] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: No but perhaps its not just zor links

[4:50] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az raised her hand.*

[4:50] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -Nods to Valerie- And unfortunately the Zor are extremely cagey when talking about Eve's people and the Drevek. Though we do now know, they all come from the same homeworld at least.

[4:50] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Might also be wise if we can get an updated charter on current Zor settlements, we might get lucky that they have a building on top of one of them artefacts

[4:50] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -Nods to Alex- I will get that forwarded to you. -She looks to Azacri- Go ahead.

[4:51] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Soo, umm, are we any closer to knowing how a human from almost three thousand years ago was found on the same planet as these artefacts?"

[4:52] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "I mean, the tome that we found!"  *She nodded in addendum.*

[4:52] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: I call space magic.

[4:52] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> We're fairly certain she was kidnapped by the Dark.

[4:53] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nodded.*  "Yes, but... why would she do that and then put her in that location?  In stasis, no less?"

[4:53] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "As part of 'er fight against 'er servants... but why kidnap and freeze 'er instead of just killing 'er?"

[4:53] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Perhaps using her for experiments, or somethign along thsoe lines.

[4:54] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Well, we know her sister was sacrificed at some point!"

[4:54] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "To learn about humans?"

[4:54] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> There is a lot we are unaware of, we've had to look back into our own history aswell. Doctor Rendino is handling that side of things for now, given the sensativity. But, we do believe that >

[4:54] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Perhaps or maybe seeing if she could infulence our spieces like the others. She'd hardly be the first to meddle

[4:55] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > the Roman Empire was at one time or another in contact with Agents of the Dark. We are aware that Astrid fought the Roman Empire and Marcus Aurellius' conquests.

[4:56] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nodded again.*  "Terror has no boundary... she just tends to manifest differently and more prominently here in the LMC!"

[4:56] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Az.*

[4:57] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Well shes got more whorshippers... In the old times it was believed the more worshipers certain gods had the more powerful they were.

[4:58] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -Nods to Azacrio and Valerie- It is possible that Astrid was being studied, though due to the regression to the Drevek. The records may have been lost, or are hiding somewhere.

[4:58] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az lightly rubbed her face.*

[4:58] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Just looks at Jacob at that.*

[4:58] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Shall we continue with what the book as more to say? We're getting prone to circlejerk here.

[5:00] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> That is pretty much it. The final chapter has more on Rituals and Dark Magic. The book itself we do not believe to be overly special, a holy text not unlike Earthly holy texts. We believe >

[5:01] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > they were not commonly availible however, most residing in Churches and belonging to Clergy.

[5:03] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> Is there anything else anyone wished to add, or questions?

[5:04] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "None from me for now, Commander. Pretty straightforward at ze moment."

[5:05] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *shakes her head*

[5:05] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Nope, I think I got it!"  *She smiled.*

[5:06] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: "No I think that about covers it."

[5:07] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> Very well, you are all dismissed. We will be arriving on Zentrek at the start of Alpha Shift tomorrow. If you wish to read the book in more detail, a permenant copy is being kept in the >

[5:08] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: > Science Lab with Löjtnant Conedo and her team.

[5:09] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: "You can also access the holo-graphic copy from any holodeck.."

[5:09] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nodded, swinging her legs under the table.*

[5:09] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Lilly, then to Caterina.* "I shall 'ave a closer look at ze copy soon, zen."

[5:09] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -nods toward Valerie-

[5:11] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *slowly gets to her feet*

[5:11] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Got up as well, taking a hold of her PADD and giving the others a nod.*

[5:12] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az got up, taking David's hand and leading him out.*

[5:12] [DOIC1] Rawr@dardez1: <Lilly> -Pokes around on her PADD-

[5:12] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Follows the Kiereses out.*

[5:12] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *takes a moment to look out the window*

[5:14] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -finishes his notes before tucking away his padd-  I'll start soon with the chart tracking. -stood up-

[5:14] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *takes her leave*

[5:14] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *folows the others out*

[5:14] [DOIC1] Caterina@Demoncherub: --heads out of the room--

[5:15] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Walks into the lift, holding it for people who may be coming.*

[5:16] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *walks into the lift*

[5:16] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David nods to them as he enters the lift.*

[5:16] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az snuggled against David's arm.*

[5:17] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David looks down at her.* Did you enjoy the break?

[5:17] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Oh yes, of course, who doesn't love Chris Mass??"

[5:17] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Ten forward." *She orders the lift down.*

[5:17] [DOIC1] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: The grinch

[5:18] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David nods.* And the child?

[5:18] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "No, not since his heart was fixed, silly!"

[5:18] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "There were lots of children on the Citadel, David!"  *She giggled.*

[5:20] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Smiles to herself, listening to the married couplke as the lift moves.*

[5:20] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: I meant the one you were tasked to care for.

[5:20] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Ohh, Adrian?  Yes, he enjoyed Chris Mass too!"

[5:20] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David nods.* You seemed to take to him quickly.

[5:21] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Aw, so 'is fazher got zhrough to you?"

[5:21] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Mhm, we watched him for them on New Year's Eve!"

[5:22] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az dragged David out as they reached their destination.*

[5:22] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: I learned about the "Mister R'Jers" program.

[5:22] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "One of Cynna's favourites."

[5:23] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Sits herself down at 10 forward, ordering herself some food.*

[5:23] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az hopped up into one of the big barstools, swinging her legs in the air as she ordered herself a double bacon cheeseburger with curly fries and a milkshake.*

[5:24] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Pulls out her PADD as she takes her wine glass in her hand, texting.*

[5:25] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *stands out of the way of anyone working staring at the the view screen*

[5:25] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David smiles at her.* How is Mister Proy doing?

[5:25] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *joins the group along in his case taking a larger*

[5:26] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Lieutenant? There a reason for you to remain on the bridge? *as he walked over to a turbolift*

[5:26] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az frowned HARD.*  "We're not on speaking terms!" *she said, her voice cracking.*

[5:27] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "No sir, just thinking"

[5:27] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Blinked to Az at that.* "Dieu... what is 'appening between ze two of you?"

[5:27] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David frowns.* Still?

[5:27] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Ott's being mean and he poisoned Leia!"  *Her eyes were becoming glossy with tears.*

[5:27] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Just thinking? -raised his eyebrow- Maybe it is best to do that in ten forward, i do recommend a few windows there to lose your thoughts in.

[5:28] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Aww..." *Val hopped a seat closer to Az, to place a hand on her shoulder and gently rub it.* "I am sure 'e did not mean to do somezhing so 'orrible to 'er?"

[5:28] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "likly a good idea sir, care to share a lift?"

[5:28] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "He fed her a CUPCAKE!"

[5:28] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -entered a turbolift- I just need to make a small pitstop first if you don't mind.

[5:28] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "'E may 'ave been unaware?"

[5:28] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "Of course not"

[5:29] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "I've told him all the time not to feed him anything but kitty food!  He knew!!"

[5:29] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *feed her ))

[5:29] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Deck 8. -to the turbolift- What were you thinking about?

[5:29] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I would offer to speak to 'im about it, but I Am afraid 'e is not too talkative around me."

[5:30] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David looks to Val.* Perhaps we should try anyway.

[5:30] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "Brown and that mission, my choices"

[5:30] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "No!  And I keep telling Nine he needs to talk to a counselor and it still hasn't happened!!"

[5:30] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: That should be arranged as well.

[5:30] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Per'aps... I 'ave promised Eve to go see 'er in a bit, but per'aps after... and oui, 'e does sound... troubled."

[5:30] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: hes getting worse

[5:30] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I could just ask Liz to order 'im to see a counselor."

[5:31] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Your choices? Trust me Eleria, there is nothing you could've done to change the outcome. Plus the burden should be with me.

[5:31] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "He just won't do it... it's like he's not even there!"

[5:32] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Well, if zere is an official order and 'e ignores it, myself or David will 'ave to take 'im to a counselor personally, worry not."

[5:32] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David nods.*

[5:32] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nodded.*  "I just want him to get better... he's such a great friend when he's not in this depressive state!"

[5:33] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "But I did do something, I made the call to close the ramp, which likely saved the shuttle and maybe the mission, Brown held them off so that was possible, but I made the call, I pressed the button"

[5:33] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "'E will, dear... all of us 'ave moments like zat we need to get through." *Gives the zoid a quick sidehug and pats her shoulder.*

[5:33] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nodded, sipping her milkshake.*

[5:35] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: I would like to help you help him.

[5:36] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "We all would. I do feel a razher large amount of guilt over it. "

[5:36] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "You shouldn't!  It's his own fault he was so upset when you wouldn't do it with him!"

[5:37] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: You made the right call Eleria, or so we tell ourselves. Truth be told, there are no rights or wrongs. However, Brown sacrificed himself so we could end our mission, so that you, Cat, Astrid, me and>

[5:37] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: What?

[5:37] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Blinks to David.* "Euhrm... Are you unaware?"

[5:37] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Ott's... um... bad behaviour started right after Ott was told he couldn't do it with Val!"

[5:37] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: all the others could go on. You may have pressed the button, but it was brown who made the call. Not you.

[5:37] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: Do...it?

[5:37] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Have sex!"

[5:38] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Quite..."

[5:38] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David blinks.* Oh.

[5:38] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "And involuntary celibacy can have very alarming effects on, um, certain people!"

[5:39] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "If you put it like that we kinda both did, Really what I am trying to do is solve the very old riddle of the man or the mission"

[5:39] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "'E could just do it wiz a 'ologram or somezhing? I do not zhink zat is ze issue."

[5:39] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Do you carry his memory?

[5:40] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Ooh, no, Val, not a Betazoid!  It's very alarming to deal with holograms when you're used to being able to at least subconsciously sense another person!"

[5:40] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Don't give him ideas...

[5:40] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "Or course"

[5:40] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "It would be like doing it with... a pillow with a face on it!"

[5:40] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh... I guess zat is true. I did not truly zhink of ze telepazhic aspect of it."

[5:41] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Do you also carry him here? -points to his heart-

[5:42] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "Yeah, I am very grateful for that he did"

[5:43] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Well... zere is zat orion pleasure barge zat runs ads on ze Citadel?"

[5:43] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az sipped her milkshake a bit too hard.  Her eye twitched.*

[5:44] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: Azacri?

[5:44] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Blinks at Az.* "...Does zat 'appen a lot?"

[5:44] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: And wasn't there that issue on Risa?

[5:44] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: So the man is still alive and remains so as long as you remember him for the good he did. -his floor came up- Now you go ahead to Tenforward, stare out a window, sit and eat or talk with people. I'll>

[5:44] [DOIC1] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: be there soon. -stepped out the lift-

[5:44] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "What issue?"

[5:44] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: "Yes sir, see you soon"

[5:45] [DOIC1] Eleria@awendra: *takes the leift the rest of the way to Tenforward*

[5:45] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Not intierly sure i know he was in trouble, Nine was annoyed with him.

[5:45] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, dear..."

[5:45] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *walks into Ten forward a few monutes later*

[5:46] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *nods to everyone before going to a windown and starting out into space*

[5:47] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: I think it concerns the same incident.

[5:48] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Leia being poisoned? It 'appened so long ago and I did not 'ear of it? Merde, I am out of ze loop..." *Nods to Eleria*

[5:48] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *stoicly looks out the window*

[5:49] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -relieves the babysitter of his daughter-    Hey there Zoë. Did you behave? -craddled her some- Ofcourse you did. -kissed Zoë's head- Where's your hat?

[5:50] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: It was an ugly incident.

[5:50] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: What ahppened?

[5:50] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: Mister Proy fed the feline human food.

[5:51] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Right was he drunk at the time?

[5:52] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -after a bit of searching he found the hat and put it on Zoë's head- Don't you look dashing? -he then left his quarters Zoë in his arms and headed to ten forward-

[5:53] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az shook her head rapidly.*  "Ooh, brain freeze... sorry, what did you say??"

[5:54] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "David was getting me up to speed on ze cupcake incident... I 'ad no idea it 'ad 'appened so long ago."

[5:55] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Umm, it was around Hall of Ween time?"

[5:55] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -Is outside in the hallway of ten forward, standing infront of the memorial wall-  It is a shame you will never be able to meet Diman. He would've liked you.

[5:55] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "'Oh... 'e said it 'appened on Risa..."

[5:56] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: I said that?

[5:56] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *just blinks at David then looks to Val.*

[5:57] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az just shrugged and ate her cheeseburger.*

[5:58] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -stared at the wall for a couple of moments more before composing himself again and snuggling Zoe again- There is someone who has to meet you however.

[5:59] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: excuse me a moment

[5:59] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Shrugs to Jacob and sips some more wine.* "We'll figure it out."

[6:00] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David looks to Azacri.* You should drink slowly.

[6:00] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "It's not about when it happened... it's that this has been a pattern for a while now, and Ott's only getting worse!"

[6:00] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -entered ten forward and walked over to Eleria-    So you chose the window?

[6:00] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *walks over to Eleria* "So why are you over here?"

[6:00] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -craddled Zoë-

[6:00] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed... 'e used to be so full of life too. I do not zhink I saw 'im outside on Risa at all zis year."

[6:00] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David nods.* That is true.

[6:01] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "He's probably smoking smokey sticks and drinking those Creature energy drinks again too... and playing those video games for hours and hours and not getting exercise!"

[6:02] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: I fear our relationship has had a negative impact on your relationship with him.

[6:02] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "Yeah I chose a WIndow, and I am thinking" *turns around smiling as she replies to each of the two.

[6:03] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "At least 'e will be easy to catch if 'e tries to run from ze counselor... and 'ey, now. Do not blame your loving 'er for anyzhing."

[6:03] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: This not like you

[6:03] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *Eleria's eyes widen as she sees the little one*

[6:03] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -snuggled Zoë- You haven't met Zoë right?  Thanks to Brown I got to be with her. Thanks to the action that you made.

[6:04] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "This is about Brown?"

[6:04] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az shook her head.*  "I was still available to spend time with him, and we did lots of things with the three of us when he still lived in New New Betazed!"

[6:05] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *Eleria's eyes tear up taking a step over to Alex* "This is little Zoe? she is so little"

[6:05] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Did somezhing else 'appen to 'im? In addition to my refusal?"

[6:06] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Umm... he joined that KWC clan with those loud people who swear a lot..."

[6:06] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Almost three weeks old. A real booster to my personal morale.

[6:07] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: And hopefully a signal to you that certain choices mean that a little girl can grow up with her father around.

[6:07] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Steps away from the mushy stuff* "I'll leave you two to it, Eleria if you wish to speak later i'd be mroe then happy to."

[6:07] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: I thought that game was played across the fleet.

[6:08] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Yes?"

[6:08] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Retakes hsi seat.*

[6:08] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: They are bad influences?

[6:08] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "I don't know, but I hear them saying bad things to each other when Ott has the volume up really loud!"

[6:08] [DOIC6] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Somewhere in the galaxy, an angry Klingon threw his keyboard into the wall, and screamed into the microphone.* "I WILL DRIVE A WHOLE STALK OF BAMBOO STRAIGHT THROUGH YOUR A-AAARGH!" *He screamed in >

[6:09] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "She is pretty" *Nods to Jacob looking back to the little girl* "Certainly puts everything in perspective, she stole your ears?"

[6:09] [DOIC6] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Rage as the admin muted him for 24 hours.*

[6:09] [DOIC6] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Blaine]  *He took his headset off and cringed.*  "Dude..."

[6:10] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Nozhing wrong wiz letting off a bit of steam from time to time? I prefer 'olodeck games, but still."

[6:10] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Very true... but there is such a thing as over doing it

[6:10] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Oh, of course not, he just does it a looot, he stays up past midnight playing his games sometimes!"

[6:10] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: My ears? That's a new one.  -Zoe stared at the surroundings with her big blue eyes-  Have you ever held a child?

[6:11] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David frowns.* He needs to be more disciplined.

[6:11] [DOIC6] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] "If I find that kid in real life, I'll pull his guts out through his ears, and feed them to that dumbass yanda admin..." *He steamed as he got another beer.*

[6:12] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "Years ago, friend of the family, they had to tell me to losen my grip I was so scared I might drop him"

[6:12] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "It could be escapism, you know?"

[6:12] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "'E clearly 'as somezhing 'e needs to resolve...

[6:12] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Oh, yes, but too much can be unhealthy!"

[6:12] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: I think it might be, been there many times.

[6:13] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Quite so... I do not 'ave any long term solutions, sadly... Or any short term ones zat will fix our broken relationship."

[6:13] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: How about time for a redemption? You may hold her if you like, I'll be right here so nothing can go wrong.

[6:14] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "If you don't mind, I would like to, the next generation, the future"

[6:14] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "I think we need to see to his mental health before we worry about that, Val!"

[6:15] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, oui. I meant it as in, nozhing I can do at ze moment will make 'im trust me a whole lot more so I can 'elp 'im..."

[6:16] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nommed a curly fry thoughtfully.*

[6:16] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: She's near perfect, doesn't cry at all. Just looks around inquisitively. A Starfleet baby. -carefully gave Zoë to Elerie. Once Eleria had Zoë he'd keep his hands on stand by incase of adjustments-

[6:17] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: I have tried to be a mentor figure to him.

[6:17] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Well he is going to hate you for a while if you get invovled

[6:18] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *clearly has not forgotten how to hold a baby as she takes Zoe, holding her close to the chest, gently, carefully and securely* "She is so cute, little Zoe Sharpe?"

[6:19] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, I shall zhink of it... now it appears it is time to pick Cynna up from Nine... Good night, everyone."

[6:19] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *She nodded to people, giving Zoe and Alex a smile, before walking off.*

[6:20] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nodded, finishing her food.*  "Good night, Val!  I think it's time for a nap!"

[6:20] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: Good night Commander.

[6:20] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *cant help but look proud as she is holding the baby*

[6:20] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -Zoe stared at Eleria-  Seems like you have redeemed yourself for now.

[6:20] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David looks to Azacri.* Tired?

[6:21] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: I should be going also.

[6:21] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az nodded.*

[6:22] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David gets up and picks up Azacri.*

[6:22] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: night

[6:22] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "Hoefully she won't get hungry" giggled a bit "Don't have anything on tap yet"

[6:22] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az giggled as she was lifted, hugging David around the neck.*

[6:23] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David smiles down at her.* We will find a way to bring Mister Proy back, I promise.

[6:23] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "I am told I cried alot when I was a baby, but only when I was hungry"

[6:23] [DOIC3] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "Thank you, Imzadi... I know we will!"

[6:24] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: I don't think you have to worry about that, she knows her mother and her goods very well.     So you were a fat baby?

[6:25] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "for a while, puppy fat some call it, now its just the chest and a bit of hips that is left"

[6:26] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David carries Azacri into the turbolift.*

[6:26] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: And I am sure that terry of yours likes that a lot.

[6:27] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "He does like the pillows"

[6:28] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "She is amazing, gonna be a curious one, I can feel it, a good social person"

[6:29] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: You make him use the pillows? Poor man.  -nodded at Eleria-  I feel it too, she'll take a lot after her mother. But i also do feel she will have my temper.

[6:30] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *Holds the kid back to Alex* "Back to Your daddy, thank you sir"

[6:31] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "Your Temper? gonna be interesting when she becomes a teen"

[6:33] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -snuggled with Zoe again as soon as he got her-  I hope you'll realise that you have to live with the choices you make and those choices will always have positive and negative consequences. If you to>

[6:35] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: be a captain, commanding officer or away team leader. You can only prepare a way to soothen the pain. So find a light in the dark to help you. -kissed Zoë's head- Yeah the teens....Well I hope she>

[6:35] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: smartens like her mother. Or it will be very at home.

[6:37] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "I understand, I just want to make sure I learn from my choices and experiences"..."Can I give you little advice sir?"

[6:37] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: very fun))

[6:37] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Depends on the advice.

[6:38] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "Let her get her hands dirty and make mistakes, don't be to...Protective" *smiles with a grin*

[6:40] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: You don't have a brothers or sisters do you?

[6:42] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "No I don't, I was rather protected"

[6:44] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: You see Eleria, back on Earth I grew up with a younger sister. Here on the ship I have to look after Nine as her older brother. Sophia grew up with two younger sisters and one younger brother. We are>

[6:45] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: hardwired to be protective.

[6:47] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: *slowly nods her head* "I partly understand"

[6:48] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "If you don't mind, I think I should get some rest soon"

[6:49] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -sighed- Eleria you know you can always go to me if you have questions or want advice? -nodded- Wanted to go myself as well, so I won't keep any longer. Good night lieutenant.

[6:50] [DOIC3] Eleria@awendra: "GOodnight Sir, I know that and I am very grateful for it, Goodnight Zoe, sweetdreams"
