Protector 4/28

[9:07] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...*

[9:07] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The camera swivels around the Protector, with the ghost ship of the Republic in tow at high warp. It zooms in on Tiberius as he begins his opening log...*

[9:08] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tiberius holds up the Captain's Log PADD and clears his throat*

[9:08] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: Captain's Log, Stardate 94408.31. We are en route to Starbase 220, with the Starship Republic in tow.

[9:08] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: All attempts to find her crew have, sadly, failed.

[9:09] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: Once we arrive at Starbase 220, our crew will be given some brief leave while... Starfleet Command inspects our ship.

[9:09] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: We are instructed to cooperate in every way possible. I'm sure this will be... as enjoyable as any other inspection.

[9:09] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: *he chortles exotically*

[9:09] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: I suppose that's it for now. Asada out.

[9:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tiberius tucks the PADD underneath his chair*

[9:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: So, who is excited for the inspection?

[9:11] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *In main engineering, several teams are monitoring the Protector's various subsystems closely to ensure the aftereffects of the Xerlot's attack do not cause any problems.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker]...excited is an interesting term, sir. *She says drly.*

[9:12] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Heh heh heh.

[9:12] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *In sickbay, a familiar face pokes his head in from the science lab, looking for Catriona.*

[9:12] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: We are under strict orders to cooperate with this, by the way.

[9:12] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I dunno. Could have confetti poppers at each threshold. Startlingly colorful entrances and all that.

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What else would they say sir? To disregard their orders as we see fit?

[9:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: We might get lucky one day, Baker.

[9:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "In context of those orders it sounds more like an investigation as opposed to an inspection."

[9:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Any idea why they are doing this? sir?

[9:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: No indication.

[9:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: They might have heard about what Mr. Jacobs keeps under his bunk, ha ha.

[9:14] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He swipes at windows periodically from his console* Mhmm, yeah. Yup, good.

[9:14] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she blinks several times and looks at Dom--

[9:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *smiles* Will Alex be safe?

[9:14] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: If you think that's bad you should see the closet.

[9:14] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: I can't see any reason why they would harm the Alex entity.

[9:14] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Do you think this actually makes you look busy, or is it a joke?

[9:15] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: It's important that you all act normal when the inspectors arrive.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: So we get drunk beforehand then, sir?

[9:15] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: You'll have some leave time on the starbase, Mr. Jacobs.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: That's not what I meant... well I guess we could always offer cocoa if they get upset about anything. Fifteen minutes out.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she swivels around and looks at Tibs-- "Normal by which standard sir?"

[9:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Starfleet standards.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -chucks a thumb back towards Tegan- See, she gets it.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *seems concerned for the future of this inspection*

[9:17] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oh but I am busy. I thought we agreed on you not babysitting me anymore.

[9:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I used to work at Utopia Planitia... this isn't my first inspection."

[9:17] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: We've only been out for a few months and they're already inspecting us.

[9:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara rolls her eyes.* You're right...*she walks over to check another console.*

[9:18] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: It's a bit early in the day to be name dropping... but I doubt we have anything to worry about.

[9:18] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: I can't help but wonder if this is in response to the mutiny.

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Would that not have taken place directly after, sir?

[9:19] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Alleged mutiny, sir.

[9:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Probably they are likely worried the ship is being crewed by crazy people."

[9:19] [DOIC5] Nallie@Cuatela: *Nalie jerks slightly, whimpers, and rolls over in her bunk before settling down again.  Despite how she may appear, her rest is anything but restful.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I wouldn't say we're crazy.

[9:19] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *scratches his chin*

[9:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Could we maybe call that times incident as "The great disagreement" Muteny or aledged muteny has a very... loaded tone?

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: I think we work hard. But we also play hard.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: I like that term, Lieutenant.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: It was a totally understandable misunderstanding.

[9:20] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *In her room, Kobay is getting ready for their leave time on the starbase, frowning as she notices Nalie's restless sleep.*

[9:20] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I can honestly see it in the future: "We haven't seen discord this bad since the Great Disagreement!".

[9:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Indeed! *she smiles*

[9:21] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He grins as she walks away, muttering under his breath* I'd let her babysit me all day.

[9:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: I can't wait to see what level of discord could possibly top that.

[9:21] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I can. Delivering booze shouldn't be a full time job.

[9:22] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] Is there a particular reason for this?

[9:22] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: I never understood the appeal of hard drinking, personally.

[9:22] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Then you're not doing it right.

[9:22] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Uh huh.

[9:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Doing what right?"

[9:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: So whom of us are needed on the ship for the inspection?

[9:23] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Welcome to the conversation, Ensign. -he grins- We'll be arriving momentarily.

[9:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: The senior staff should stay aboard until dismissed.

[9:23] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He raises his brow with a smirk* Hmm?

[9:24] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *squeezes the arms of his chair and sighs* This is going to be interesting.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Captain, Without not-cooperating, Would it be of interest to know why they are doing this?

[9:24] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: O

[9:24] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: What would be /interesting/ is to see the response generated by creating holograms throughout the ship to make it look Klingon.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: I'm sure it will  become apparent as to why they're inspecting us.

[9:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] I was not aware pinkskins enjoyed being...'babysat'.

[9:25] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *looks around the bridge* Everyone, just pretend to be happy when they arrive.

[9:25] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Why wouldn't I be happy?

[9:25] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Good, that's the attitude we need.

[9:25] [DOIC1] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles across to the familiar face, poking at her PADD-

[9:25] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles across to the familiar face, poking at her PADD-

[9:26] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Did you hear the news?

[9:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: What if they have a telepath with them? *she giggles*

[9:26] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: What news? -she says inquisitvely-

[9:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Then God help us all.

[9:26] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Time how long until I can make them blush?

[9:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Helm, are we there yet?

[9:27] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Hopefully they will be more discrete than you at times...*Cathy giggles at Desiree.*

[9:27] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Three minutes.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Desiree, horrified.-- "They can't do that it is a violation of our rights!"

[9:27] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] We're getting a bit of leave time...and some sort of shipwide inspection.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: That outburst makes me curious what goes on inside your head, Ensign.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Having a betasoid as part of the inspection is in violation of our rights?

[9:27] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oh yeah we're just weird like that sometimes.. *he grins*

[9:27] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Nods some- I expected as much.

[9:28] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: When we arrive in the system, get docking clearance from the Starbase.

[9:28] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jad walks over to Cat.* Counselor?

[9:28] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Baker, please patch me through to shipwide comms.

[9:28] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "well if they are going to start poking around in peoples heads."

[9:28] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks to Jad, giving a slight smile- Yes, Jad?

[9:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Andorian raises his antennae with a look of bemusement.* Interesting.

[9:28] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Absolutely sir. Would you like to fly as well? The seat is comfortable, fits the buttocks great.

[9:29] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Sickbay is prepped and ready for the inspection.

[9:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: You do not have to "Poke" around anything if people think loud enough, and the... Feelings of this inspections speaks in volumes.

[9:29] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Nods- That is good, any news from our Doctor?

[9:29] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I'm ambivalent about it. In the end I doubt they have much to say about the Helm.

[9:29] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Desiree, she has a terrified look on her face but says nothing.--

[9:30] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] He is resting comfortably...some sort of virus. We were able to neutralize it but his energy is sapped.

[9:30] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: You telling me you didn't enjoy being tucked in at night when you were little?

[9:30] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles brightly- Good! He's the last person we want in here for this.

[9:31] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Well, Ensign, you might want to get your foil hat on, because we're here.

[9:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Don't panic. If you really has something important to hide, think of advanced equations, and really really dedicate your mind to said equations.

[9:31] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] That is very different than the nature of the relationship I perceived with you and Ensign Dalby...

[9:31] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *All the nurses blink for a moment.*

[9:31] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Grrreeat. *flips on the shipwide comms*

[9:31] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Tibs-- "sir do I have time to go and fins some protective headwear?"

[9:32] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: [PA] Good morning everyone, this is your Captain speaking. We are arriving at Starbase 220.

[9:32] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Coughs and looks a little sheepish- Not to be disrespectful to him or anything.

[9:32] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: [PA] While at Starbase 220, we will be subject to inspection by Starfleet Command. All senior officers and essential >

[9:32] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: [PA] personnel should remain at their posts. All other officers may take leave on the Starbase.

[9:32] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Of course, Counselor.

[9:32] [DOIC] Tiberius@atemporal: [PA] Remember -- we must make a good impression on Starfleet. So, best feet forward everyone. Asada out.

[9:32] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -takes the ship out of warp and moves toward the docking lines at quarter impulse.- Sending request.

[9:33] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Depends how long that will take you, Ensign.

[9:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: It will not work for that purpose, Ensign. And only make you look suspicious

[9:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am not sure sir. I depnds on how long it takes me to design and build a working telepathic protective hat."

[9:33] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Shouldn't have said anything, Lieutenant. I wanted to see her do it.

[9:34] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Rolls her eyes- Because it only matters how it looks, not how it is.

[9:34] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: That's an intriguing line of research.

[9:34] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector glides out of warp, transitioning smoothly into one quarter impulse as the starbase comes into view for the bridge crew.*

[9:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I know Jacobs, but we do not want to ruin the inspections, even if the temptation is strong *giggles*

[9:34] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] I don't know if that's always the case...but looks are important.

[9:34] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He shrugs* Guess so.  *He slowly squints at him* You watching us or something?

[9:34] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal does his best to keep a straight face.*

[9:35] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Ahh, Starbase 220.

[9:35] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Shoots Dal some kind of half glare- This isn't the Science Lab.

[9:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] We serve together in main engineering...it does not take that much observation to perceive what is going on, Ensign.

[9:36] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay sighs and walks over to Nalie, placing a hand on her forehead.* Hey...time to wake up.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tib pops a handful of breath mints into his mouth*

[9:36] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *suddenly walks into engineering and over to her station*

[9:37] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal backs off immediately.* uhhhh...right...will I see tonight, Counselor? *He gives her his best charming smile.*

[9:37] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Gives him a deadpan look- Science Lab.

[9:37] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *without adressing anyone she starts tapping on her console*

[9:37] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A most of main engineering turns around and blinks at her presence.*

[9:38] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal just nods and exits the room, heading back to the lab.*

[9:38] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He gives him a small pump on the chest* Oh I know. Just messing with ya.

[9:39] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *looks around the bridge, considering something*

[9:39] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Nalie...

[9:39] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Hmm.

[9:39] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Must be a busy day.

[9:39] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: They haven't answered your request, Mr. Jacobs?

[9:40] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: No. I'll try again. -quietly- Your call is important to us....

[9:40] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Crock.

[9:40] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Uhhh...

[9:41] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: There we go! Two minutes.

[9:41] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles at Jad- Yes?

[9:41] [DOIC5] Nallie@Cuatela: *mumbles something and pulls her sheet tighter over her head*

[9:42] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Is everything alright, Counselor?

[9:42] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Perfectly fine...

[9:42] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay pulls down the sheet.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Great.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -manuevers the ship into docks, and thud is heard as the clamps lock- Well then.

[9:43] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Oh good. Baker, please let the Starbase know that we are docked and prepared for inspection.

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [thij'Eryvis] Right. Pinkskins and their obsessions with..."messing with people".

[9:43] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Good. Just checking...on a friend.

[9:43] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -stretches- A delicious meal, hot shower and good company. That is todays agenda.

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...I am already receiving a boarding request...from a Commander Amanda Brocal.

[9:44] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Nods ploutely- Thankyou.

[9:44] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Oooh. It's a lady.

[9:45] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oh quit judging..

[9:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: Tell her that her boarding request is approved. I'll meet her in the Transporter Room.

[9:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tiberius stands up* Lieutenant Clerie, you have the conn.

[9:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Understood, sir.

[9:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Yes sir

[9:46] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tiberius heads for the door and into the hall...*

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles as she watches Desiree sit in the big chair.*

[9:46] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: *...and ends up in DOIC3 as he makes it to the transporter room.*

[9:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *takes the confy captains chair*

[9:47] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: So.. whens the whip come out?

[9:47] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] That is merely what I have observed.

[9:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I am sure Rok can arrange something if that is your thing

[9:47] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tib looks at the transporter chief.* Energize when ready.

[9:48] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He points with his head at Keizal* We'll observe that then.. I hear that she's your type too.

[9:48] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Rok can't even get out from behind the bar.

[9:48] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Everett] Energizing...

[9:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I saw him do so once or twice.

[9:49] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I wasn't aware hell froze over...

[9:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *giggles* But he does know how to get anything on that station, if you are willing to pay

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A human woman in her early 30s materializes, flanked by a Benzite in full Lieutenant pips. She walks off the PADD, looking all business.* Commander.

[9:50] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Ervyis] And just what is...my type?

[9:50] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: *extends his hand for a shake* Commander. Welcome to the Protector.

[9:50] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Nalie, the ship is about to be inspected by 220.

[9:50] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: You two seem the judgemental type.. duh.. *He chuckles*

[9:51] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: And you're both... tall.

[9:51] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The woman accepts the handshake, shaking firmly.* Thank you. I am Commander Amanda Brocal...this is my right hand, Lieutenant Zolod Yanoz.

[9:51] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Payings not really an option. Well it is, but an unnecessary one.

[9:51] [DOIC5] Nallie@Cuatela: *curls up into a ball, trying to stay warm without the sheet as she mutters another response.   This time, it's slightly more understandable as "nothing to hide"*

[9:52] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Ervyis] It is not my fault I was born Andorian.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Indeed...

[9:52] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: You know what? You should go introduce yourself? Yeah, it souds like a great idea.

[9:52] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Of course we don't, but you know how they are. And don't you want to make sure they don't tear the ship in two looking for something?

[9:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *looks at Ezri* Are you okey Ensign?

[9:53] [DOIC5] Nallie@Cuatela: *reaches down, searching for the sheet*  5 more minutes...

[9:53] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Commander Tiberius Asada, and this *he gives her hand an extra squeeze* is my right hand.

[9:53] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: *he smiles alluringly*

[9:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks back at Desiree-- "Of course, why wouldn't I be?"

[9:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Your nerveousness and earlier comments made me wish to make sure.

[9:54] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: You mean aside from acting like a frightened rabbit in a wolf cave?

[9:54] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Brocal smirks slightly, but the Benzite does not look amused.* I have heard so much about you...we are not here to be your enemy, Commander...but this ship has a tall order ahead of it...Starfleet Co

[9:55] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Command wants to ensure it is ready for it.

[9:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: -she nods-- "yeah yeah, Well you can never be to careful."

[9:55] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] If you're not out in five I'm coming back to drag you to main engineering. *She mutters.* It's not like it's restful for you anyway.

[9:55] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: Tall orders are my specialty. Where would you like to begin your inspection?

[9:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Ervyis] I fail to understand why I should do so when I am currently speaking with you.

[9:56] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He nerviously scratches his head* Oooohh. You're into dudes... That's it huh?

[9:57] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] My training was in science so I'd like to put your science lab through their paces. Lieutenant Yanoz here will be testing your long range sensors.

[9:57] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -he turns in his seat and leans on the armrest, cupping his chin in his hand- I am really curious what's going on in the brain of yours. Want to share with the class?

[9:58] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Baker, check the transporter logs if anyone of the delegation is telepatic, please?

[9:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] Andorians do not have such antiquated mating practices.

[9:58] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: Absolutely. Our science capabilities are a bit limited due to the nature of our ship, but we do have a functioning lab.

[9:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Dom strangely-- "We are not in class."

[9:58] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: If you'll follow me...

[9:58] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I beg to differ.

[9:58] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: The class is "Tegan 101: Oddities"

[9:59] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: *ushers them through the ship to the science lab, which is right around the corner*

[9:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Commander nods and follows Tibs, as does the Benzite.*

[9:59] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "There has never been such a class."

[9:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: A first thing for everything

[9:59] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he gives him a strange look* Damn.. Ok, I see how it is...

[9:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *time

[9:59] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *Dosn't respond to any of the chatter in the background but is running her fingers over her panels*

[10:00] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: So, pony up Ensign. What has you all frazzled?

[10:00] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He sticks a thumb over at Keizal* She's wide open though.. If you ever change your mind.

[10:00] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] I will have more of our people transporting in shortly.

[10:00] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks over at Desiree, then to Dom-- "I would rather not say, I wouldn't want to offend anyone."

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] So far no one is, Lieutenant.

[10:01] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: You'd have to try pretty hard to offend me, anyway.

[10:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Thank you.

[10:01] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: Oh... okay. *they enter the science lab*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shakes her head at Dom.--

[10:02] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal and a few of the other science officer are in the lab, plugging away.*

[10:02] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *From sickbay those near the door could see Tibs and two unknown officers enter the science lab.*

[10:03] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Your scientific resources will be vital, Commander. *She walks over to a nearby console.* We will be ensuring this ship is getting every inch out of what she has avaliable.

[10:04] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He types a message and sends it to the console on the other side of engineering*

[10:04] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: *seems confused as to what an inch is*

[10:04] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: Inch, ma'am?

[10:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] =^= Main Engineering to Nalie.

[10:04] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Oh well. It's fine. You hungry? I'm hungry.

[10:05] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Apologies...an old Earth turn of phrase. We will be getting everything possible out of the scientific resouces you have avaliable.

[10:05] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *Slams at her panel then turns around and glares at Damian*

[10:05] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: Ahh, yes, yes. Earthlings and your turns of phrase.

[10:05] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I think we are supposed to remain at our stations."

[10:05] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Main engineering in unision all slowly look at Keizal.*

[10:05] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He looks over at Keizal and nerviously smiles at her*

[10:06] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: We have an excellent science team.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Yes, lets remain at our stations for now

[10:06] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: Stop waisting my time you idiot! *Then turns back and continiues her work*

[10:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Lieutenant...you wanted to remain aware of any...telepaths among our visitors?

[10:06] [DOIC5] Nallie@Cuatela: *Mumbles something else and curls into a tighter ball*

[10:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Yes please

[10:06] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] =^= Dammit Nalie it's been past ten minutes...

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We have one...a Lieutenant junior grade Jalot Eutal.

[10:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Species?

[10:07] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal turns around and stands at attention for the pair.* Sirs!

[10:07] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He slowly looks over at Eryvis* Sorry Ervie, she ain't interested.

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker]...Betazoid

[10:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Andorian raises his antennae again, shaking his head.*

[10:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Alright

[10:08] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I tried man.. Maybe she ain't the kinky type after all.. Better luck next year..

[10:09] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Several laughs and giggles are heard throughout the room.*

[10:09] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A very different looking Betazoid male walks into sickbay, this one with Lieutenant junior grade pips.*

[10:09] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he smiles and winks at those that make eye contact*

[10:10] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks to the Betazoid male- Can I help ypu?

[10:10] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *sighs and shakes her head abit but keeps working*

[10:10] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] There could be a few software improvements made here. I will have Yanoz upload them for your engineering teams to review.

[10:10] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: Understood, ma'am.

[10:11] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *He looks down at a PADD.* Are you...Ensign Catriona MacFarlane?

[10:11] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Offers a small yet polite smile- That would be me, you are?

[10:11] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He leans closer to Ervie* I'm usually a good wingman.. Just not in this case..

[10:12] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *HE offers his hand.* I'm Lieutenant Jalot Eutal...with the Starbase counseling staff.

[10:12] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] What is a...wing...man?

[10:12] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Shakes his hand- Is there something I can do for you, Leftenant?

[10:13] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] No ma'am. I'm here to assist you with anything you need.

[10:13] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *His jaw slowly drops* You're kidding right?

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] He has entered sickbay, ma'am.

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A few unfamiliar faces appear on the bridge, walking over to the tactical and science consoles.*

[10:14] [DOIC5] Nallie@Cuatela: *with visible effort, she rolls herself out of bed and onto the floor.   She lies there for another couple minutes before gathering the strength to stand up and shuffle over to the tiny closet*

[10:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Lovely

[10:14] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Gives him a confused look- Uhm, okay.

[10:14] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] You pinkskins alwayts seem to think everyone should understand everything you say, even when you speak in such strange terms.

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Looks like we have other guests...

[10:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Oh?

[10:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri looks at the people suspiciously--

[10:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Can you escort Lieutenant Yanoz here to main engineering for me? My analysis is done but I'll need some time to upload.

[10:16] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: Absolutely. Come with me, Lieutenant.

[10:16] [DOIC3] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tiberius leads the man to Engineering*

[10:16] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jalot tilts his head slightly.* I apologize...I was sent here under the impression that you were...well...fairly new to all this...and could maybe use a hand? At least while you're on station.

[10:16] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Awesome dude, nice talk. *He walks away and hovers over another console*

[10:16] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] If I am mistakne please accept my deepest apologies.

[10:17] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Yes... I just wasn't informed someone was coming to lend a hand...

[10:17] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Benzite follows Tibs b ut does not speak.*

[10:17] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *dryly while looking down on her console* "Don't bother bluskin, the babbling human thinks he is a comedian, such a childish fool dosn't know when to shut that ugly hole in his face...."

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The pair on the bridge are a Vulcan and a human. They do not speak, but instead hold PADDs and operate the consoles, appearing to run some sort of diagnostics.*{

[10:18] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -yawns- Well, as long as they hurry up. I'd like food.

[10:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [th'Eryvis] They do appear fixated on their brand of 'humor'.

[10:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Tibs and the Benzite enter main engineering. All eyes are on this newcomer as he heads for Nalie's usual console.*

[10:18] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: Indeed...

[10:19] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] Sorry about that.

[10:19] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Gives him an uncertain smile-

[10:19] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He glances up at the newcomers briefly before going back to his console*

[10:19] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *She just glances over at the newcomers before turning back to her console seeming more interested in her own work then the newcomers*

[10:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *studies the people on the bridge* Can we be of assistance?

[10:20] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] If I am not a benefit I will leave now and simply report that to my superiors. *He returns the uncertain smile.*

[10:20] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tib looks around for Nallie*

[10:20] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Benzite does not speak but operates the console, running a few tests on long range scanners.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Vulcan] That will be unnecessary at this time, Lieutenant.

[10:21] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Well, I do not know how you could be of help right now... would it help if I gave you the currrent counseling files maybe uh or something?

[10:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Very well

[10:21] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] What she meant to say was...thank you for the offer, Lieutenant. *He eyes the Vulcan from across the room before getting back to work.*U

[10:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I was really hoping we would have one of those regular inspections, where some stuffy admiral walks around and runs a white glove over everything."

[10:22] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] Would you like a second pair of eyes on them?

[10:22] [DOIC5] Nallie@Cuatela: *pulls her hair into a ponytail and sets off toward Engineering*

[10:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] This ain't a holonovel, sunshine.

[10:22] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He gives Daniels a look while tibs and the benzite wait*

[10:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "My name isn't Sunshine. It is Ezri."

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] Right...Ezri Sunshine.

[10:23] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: So, Lieutenant, how are you liking your job?

[10:23] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: That may be of use -picks up a PADD and offers it to him-

[10:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well hurry it up, our helmsman needs food."

[10:23] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I like that. "Sunshine".

[10:24] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Yanoz] My like or dislike does not impact the task at hand.

[10:24] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jalot picks up the PADD and starts going over the files.*

[10:25] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: Oh, that's true. I'm just curious.

[10:25] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *walks calmly into Engineering, stopping short as she spots the Benzite at the center console*

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] At least someone appreciates it.

[10:26] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *All of main engineering falls silent as their eyes rest on the Benzite.*

[10:27] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *Not the Remans eyes though*

[10:27] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *NPCs :P*

[10:27] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *walks slowly toward the console, standing opposite the Benzite as she watches him warily*

[10:27] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *I know, couldn't help myself :P*

[10:27] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal]...wow.

[10:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Benzite turns to her.* You are Lieutenant Nalie, yes?

[10:28] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I am, yes.  And you are?

[10:28] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Something the matter?

[10:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Yanoz] Lieutenant Zolod Yanoz.

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Vulcan] Lieutenant...Clerie?

[10:29] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I see.   And who exactly gave you permission to access Protector systems?

[10:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Yes?

[10:29] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] Your chief tactical officer...and chief engineer...wowza.

[10:30] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He facepalms from his console* Oh..

[10:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Vulcan] I have triple checked your tactical sensor array...it appears to be in working order.

[10:30] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Yanoz] Commander Amanda Brocal.

[10:30] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: He is here for the inspection, Nallie.

[10:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Exelent

[10:32] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *jumps slightly and looks over at Tibs*  I see.   Fine, carry on.   *she folds her arms and watches the Benzite*

[10:32] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles and nod- They hae presented a challenge.

[10:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] Once the Commander updates your software I think science will be alright as well.

[10:32] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] There are veteran counselors who couldn't handle one of these...but both.

[10:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] I see now why they thought you needed help...how are you holding up?

[10:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she swivels around in her chair-- "Wait! What do you mean update our software?"

[10:33] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Fine.

[10:33] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks around the room for Daniels*

[10:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] Just some improvements designed for deeper sensor pentration in the Magellan galaxy.

[10:34] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] That's good. You have quite a bit on your plate. You should be proud of being tasked with such an assignment so early in your career.

[10:34] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] That's good. You have quite a bit on your plate. You should be proud of being tasked with such an assignment so early in your career.

[10:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: The Magellan galaxy?

[10:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks suspicious.--

[10:34] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Just makes a courteous nod-

[10:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay is speaking with one of their guests in a corner of engineering. It appears to be a heated discussion.*

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Vulcan] Ensign, you were not to mention anything related to the Project.

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] Whoops...

[10:35] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He keeps a close eye on the heated conversation incase fists start flying*

[10:35] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *taps in some commands on her own console, then walks over to join the conversation*

[10:36] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels]...all I want is a few days to look over your new software before we start overwriting what we have.

[10:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: So we are going to the LMC with the rest of the 22nd?

[10:37] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Well, this class of ship isn't exactly the best for scientific exploration...

[10:37] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Vulcan] We do not have that information.

[10:37] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: New software?

[10:38] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jalot lets out a soft chuckle.*

[10:39] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] I-*He turns to Nalie.* Yes. We have an update for your science lab.

[10:41] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I see.  You may deliver the software to my staff.  You will not install any software without it first being reviewed and signed off on by my staff.

[10:41] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] I didn't know Grax wound up here.

[10:41] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] What was I trying to tell Miss Daniels here is that we don't have time fo

[10:42] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] for this delay. This update was supposed to have fleet wide WEEKS ago.

[10:42] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Let me be very clear.  You. will. not. install. any. software. without. my. staff. clearing. it. first.   Do you understand?

[10:42] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: *Tib saunters up to the group*

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Human] I think we're done here.

[10:43] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: Surely the update can wait another few days, hmm? *to the human*

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Vulcan] I concur.

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Vulcan] *to Desiree.* You may inform your captain that your bridge crew's presence is no longer required during the inspection.

[10:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Understood

[10:44] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The human male sighs in frustration.* Fine. Here.

[10:44] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *He hands to PADD to Nalie.* This is the update. Do what you have to, you have a week.

[10:44] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: There's no immediate need for it. *he looks to Nalie* Please review this ASAP.

[10:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Cleri to Asada

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Vulcan and Human exit the bridge.*

[10:45] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Those guys seemed suspicious to me."

[10:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: =/\= Asada here, go ahead...

[10:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= The delegation is done with the bridge and requires the bridge presonel no more.

[10:46] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] Other than those two it looks pretty standard fare.

[10:46] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Hmm. I don't know. They didn't touch my console.

[10:47] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *takes the PADD and nods to the human as she passes it off to Daniels*   Make sure Obihr verifies this before next week.

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Perhaps they did not need to due to your impeccable flying abilities. *dryly*

[10:47] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The human walks off in a huff.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "No I doubt that is the reason."

[10:48] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks up at Tibs*  Thanks for backing me up on that.  I know my ship, and I know the software requirements.

[10:48] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: =/\= Excellent.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Well if they messed with my presets I'd be unhappy.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Tiberius@atemporal: =/\= You are all dismissed.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Understood.

[10:49] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: They always think they know better, eh?

[10:50] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: So. Food, anyone?

[10:50] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: The sad thing is, I used to be one of them.

[10:50] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: It's different on this side of it.

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Depends on what kind.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she swivels around in her chair--

[10:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: You are dismissed to the station. I will remain here for the sake of protocol.

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Desiree...

[10:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Yes?

[10:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy shakes her head.* I can take it for you...

[10:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Nope, I want you to check with Rok if he can arrange quarters for us on the station

[10:52] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Commander Brocal strides into main engineering.*

[10:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smirks.* Yes ma'am.

[10:53] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: *nods to Nalie*

[10:53] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: What about you, Spots?

[10:53] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances over as the hatch opens, focusing on the newly-arrived Commander*

[10:53] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -he stands up, stretching-

[10:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Commander...I understand Ensign Fox was...direct with his desire to have our software upgrades completed.

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she forwns-- "I am not partial to these overly informal nicknames people keep giving me."

[10:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sivok] I concur with Ensign Tegan's assessment.

[10:55] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: That's a correct assessment.

[10:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she stands up from her console.--

[10:55] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I concur you all need to relax. You'll get knotted muscles and wrinkles.

[10:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] There is a lot of incentive to get this done as soon as possible. We had a...polite discussion on protocol, however. *She turns to Nalie.* Lieutenant Nalie, I presume?

[10:56] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am relaxed!"

[10:56] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he glances up from his console periodically*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: If that's relaxed, I'd hate to see you tense.

[10:57] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *dips her head slightly*  That is correct.

[10:57] [DOIC2] Keizal@Raluk: *she glances over at the commander then focuses on her console again*

[10:57] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Amanda offers her a hand.* It's a pleasure to meet you. I have heard a lot of about you from some on the starbase.

[10:57] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Youkow Grax, sir?

[10:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she folds her arms--

[10:57] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] We were friends back on Betazed but I haven't seen him since I left for the Academy.

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy finishes with her console and walks over to Desiree.*

[10:58] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Oh, i se -she smiles-

[10:58] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: See? That's not relaxed. -he stretches one more time- Well then, I guess I can find company on the starbase. Dom has the hungries, I'm sure someone out there does too.

[10:59] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *takes it, giving it a brief shake*   Of course.

[10:59] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] Do you know him well?

[10:59] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "You never said what sort of food you wanted to get?"

[10:59] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: We are well aquinted,

[10:59] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] The universal conclusion was that you were the only proper candidate for the chief engineer of this vessel. Upon review I'd tend to agree.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I've an open mind.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *looks up at cathy*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Not partial to anything right now, just want sustainence.

[11:00] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal]...I see. *The man smirks for a moment as he reads over a file.* Still a hapless romantic...

[11:01] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: He tries -she says a little defensively-

[11:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "As long as it is not Klingon or Ferengi"

[11:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiels at her.* You will be joining us after, yes?

[11:01] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Well, those aren't my normal go-tos, so your safe there. If you're hungry, why don't you choose?

[11:01] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances at Daniels*  I'm sure there were many who were qualified, but that's not why you're here.

[11:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "Sure. I guess so."

[11:02] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] Certainly. *He looks over at Cat, studying her briefly.* Maybe he's gotten better at it...

[11:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I will, But you know I can not leave the conn

[11:03] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] I was here to inspect the ship, and everything I can see gives it a passing grade. A few minor repairs from your encouter with the Xerlots and a software upgrade pending review.

[11:03] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Cat smiles politely- I would say so.

[11:03] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Until you are relieved.

[11:03] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: About that.  I made sure we had the latest software before launch.  What are these upgrades for?

[11:05] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] I'm afraid I can't discuss their specific purpose at this time. They are centered around your science lab.

[11:05] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Exactly *she smiles*

[11:06] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] He chose well. Anything you'd like to ask me in terms of counseling?

[11:06] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: Why is it such a secret?

[11:06] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Well, after you Ensign. You can pick the food.

[11:06] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Decisions made well above my grade in rank, Lieutenant. It will not be a secret for long.

[11:07] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: At the moment, I do not think so. I will contact you if there is. -she nods at him politely-

[11:08] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Eutal] Very well. *He lowers his head respectfully.* Please do not hestitate to ask. *He turns to leave.*

[11:08] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: *raises an eyebrow at being called Lieutenant* Alright.

[11:08] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -smiles and watches him leave-

[11:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Commander :P

[11:09] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Rest assured despite that you will have access to every line of code before it is implemented.

[11:09] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances at Tibs before speaking*  I'm sure you can understand that my first priority is ensuring the smooth and safe operation of the ship.

[11:09] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jad smiles at Cat and chuckles softly.*

[11:10] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -lools to Jad- What?

[11:10] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: We have to verify the software is safe before we can risk installing it.

[11:10] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] I understand your concerns, Lieutenant. Is a week sufficient for verification and installation?

[11:11] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] You defended him well.

[11:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri leaves the bridge.--

[11:12] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: The fact that both you and Ensign Fox mentioned a week specifically, I'm guessing it will have to be.

[11:12] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Hey! Wait up!

[11:12] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles and bites her lip- Do you think?

[11:12] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Coming Baker?

[11:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she doesn't wait uo.--

[11:13] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jad nods and looks to her with a warm smile.* We have everything under control here...if you would like to um...enjoy your leave...you are welcome to.

[11:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods and follows him.*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -picks up pace- That one certainly marches to the beat of her own drumb.

[11:13] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Mister Fox does not have the same decisionmaking authority that I do. *She smiles at Nalie.*

[11:14] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -walks up to Jad and gives her a quick hug- See you later.

[11:14] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Still, I think we can make it work.

[11:14] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] See you around, Cat! *She embraces her back.*

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That is a polite way of putting it...

[11:14] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -walks out of sickbay and to... places...-

[11:15] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Excellent. Be sure to find time for leave duiring this period...and you can consider that an order, Lieutenant.

[11:16] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -calls to Ezri- I didn't realize you were that hungry.

[11:16] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: *smiles reassuringly at Nalie*

[11:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I'm not that hungry." --she gives him a strange look.--

[11:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't know how you people get anything done working at the pace your do."

[11:18] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Not every second has to be rushed. You miss out on a lot of things that way. -he smiles- So what's on the menu?

[11:19] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: If you say so.

[11:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I don't know. I could go for a Grakizh salad."

[11:19] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I don't know what that is, but it can't be any worse than Klingon food.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well it doesn't involve live worms if that is what you mean."

[11:20] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Your reputation proceeds you in many ways. *She looks to Tiberius.* I am done here for the moment, but my offioers will want to review the lab systems once the ugprade is in place.

[11:20] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *upgrade

[11:20] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: They weren't that bad. More the texture than the taste... but yeah. Live worms shouldn't be on todays menu.

[11:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Anyway Grakizh is a salad, you know with vegatables. In this case a yellow leafy plant from Trill."

[11:22] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Don't explain it, let's just eat it! -he grins-

[11:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Maybe we can have some Earth food. I had some of that at the academy...it was good."

[11:23] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: Understood, Commander.

[11:23] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Anything else for me before I take my leave?

[11:24] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *shakes her head*  Nothing for me.

[11:24] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: Nothing here...

[11:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Brocal] Very well. Thank you for your cooperation, Commander. *She gives them both a polite nod and leaves.*

[11:25] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Earth has some great food. So many different types and tastes.

[11:25] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: *nods back*

[11:25] [DOIC2] Tiberius@atemporal: That went well.

[11:26] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As Commander Brocal exits engineering, the episode transitions into a social, with any officer free to visit the starbase as they wish :)*

[11:26] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] At least she got her tigers in order...

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker[ It does!

[11:27] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Yeah.... I think I'll keep the archives locked out until we've tested this software live.

[11:27] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I think they're done meddling but alright.

[11:29] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: You heard about what happened to the Sentinel a while back, right?

[11:29] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] No?

[11:30] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: They came back to the Starbase and have their entire system rebuilt because of some virus.  I don't know all the details, but I don't want to risk anything similar here.

[11:30] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] We'll look line by line...on a PADD, while we are relaxing on the starbase.

[11:32] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Sure, however you and Obihr want to do it.  I expect a full report by Wednesday.

[11:32] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels]...were you paying attentino to what she said?

[11:33] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Not really, no.

[11:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] She basically ordered you to get in leave time. I imagine it was from folks back on 220 who saw your work ethic.

[11:34] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Well sure, but you forgot something.

[11:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay taps her foot, waiting.*

[11:34] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I take my orders from Commander Asada and Lieutenant Hamilton.

[11:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels]...who she outranks...

[11:35] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Only in rank.  He's still the Captain.

[11:36] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -follows behind the ladies with his arms behind his head- Food! Food-food-food. FOOOOOD!

[11:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she walks like she has a purpose toward the lounge.--

[11:36] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels]...are we seriously going to debate an order that you know damn well was a suggestion for the betterment of your health?

[11:36] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: You're the one who brought it up.

[11:37] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay thorws her hands up in exapseration.* Because I'm trying to help?

[11:37] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: If you want to help, then let me sleep!

[11:38] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Back on the bridge of the Protector, a young human male with Lieutenant junior grade pips approaches Desiree in her seat.*

[11:38] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I have no problem with you sleeping. But you need to relax too.

[11:38] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Looks at the young man* Hello there

[11:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Okay lets see if we can do this in the most efficient manner possible."

[11:38] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Why?

[11:39] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] Here for your relief, ma'am.

[11:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she gives him a strange -- "Why not? To do anything else would be to waste resources."

[11:40] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Because you can't enjoy something at it's most efficient pace.

[11:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy is busying speaking with Rok about something.*

[11:40] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Good, then you have no problem with me going back to bed.  Make sure Obihr gets a copy of that code.

[11:40] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Lovely. Have fun

[11:40] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Will you at least get dinner with me tomorrow on the starbase so I can brief you on our progress?

[11:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she glances around the room, she looks uncomfotable.-- "Is that what this is supposed to be? Enjoyable?"

[11:41] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] Thank you ma'am.

[11:41] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Sure, sounds like fun.

[11:42] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay looks relieved and manages a smile.* I'll make sure they have wingslugs.

[11:42] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Why not?

[11:42] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: We're not working.

[11:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns.-- "Unfortunately."

[11:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We should sit down."

[11:43] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Indeed.

[11:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she heads for an open booth.--

[11:44] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *nods and walks toward the door*  See you tomorrow then.

[11:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she sits with her back to the wall--

[11:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] See ya then, boss. Sleep well.

[11:46] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: So, would you rather be at work or something?

[11:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it is at least a productive use of my time."

[11:47] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: How is feeding yourself and socializing not productive?

[11:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Feeding onesself shouldn't take that long and I have never really socialized so."

[11:48] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man]...ma'am?

[11:48] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Why not? It's a valid use of your time as anything.

[11:49] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Has left the bridge*

[11:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "That depends on who you ask."

[11:49] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I'm asking you.

[11:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I wouldn't know. I think we should change the subject."

[11:50] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Very well, what would you like to talk about?

[11:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "is piloting hard?"

[11:53] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: That depends on what you mean by "hard". It can be challenging, but I wouldn't say it's "hard"... I do derive enjoyment form it.

[11:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy is finishing up a conversation with Rok.*

[11:54] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I mean, it's difficult to compare our jobs. We chose our fields because we enjoy them, right?

[11:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That will do nicely, thank you.

[11:55] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *sneaks up on baker* Hello love

[11:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles at the sound of her voice and turns.* Hello. Sneak off the bridge?

[11:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I chose my field because I am good at it and it is the the one field where I have the least amount of contact with people."

[11:57] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Starting to sound a lot like a Reman I know... though I have to argue simply being good at something isn't really a reason to do it. I mean, where does your motivation lie if not in love of your craft

[11:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Don't get me wrong...I like what I do..." --she trails off--

[11:58] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I'm sensing a "but" there.

[11:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "It is nothing."

[11:59] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Now now, no such thing as "nothing". A Scientist should know that.

[12:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy embraces her.*

[12:00] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *lovingly embraces cathy*

[12:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sneak off the bridge?

[12:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Got relived

[12:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy laughs and nods.* I obtained what you wanted...and a little more.

[12:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Oooooh?

[12:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I just enjoy other things more than my job. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy science a lot."

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The room is for...three.'

[12:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Oooh? V'Tira?

[12:03] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If she desires so.

[12:03] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: That's actually good to hear. So, what are your other interests?

[12:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I do hope she desires... *she giggles*

[12:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shakes her head-- "I play the piano."

[12:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You would be a better judge than I. *She smiles.*

[12:04] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Indeed? That's a unique talent these days.

[12:05] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I suppose."

[12:05] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Well, I don't hear too many people playing the piano regularly. How did you develop that skill? It's an earth instrument, after all.

[12:06] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at him funny.-- "I learned to play the Trill piano."

[12:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "It was something my mother taught me."

[12:08] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -nods a little- So is it like a heritage skill, was she a professional, or what?

[12:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Are you hungry?

[12:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "The EArth piano is similar in concept I suppose. Although a lot less sophisticated."

[12:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Yes... but not for food

[12:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy's cheek flush red.*

[12:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "She used to play professionally, before her and my father married."

[12:11] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: That's interesting. All I inherited was this hair and my fathers disapproval. -he laughs- So. The piano. What else does our bridge science officer enjoy?

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ermmm...*she is left speechless.*

[12:12] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *giggles*

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] M-maybe...thirsty?

[12:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "It is less a matter of enjoyment and finding ways to keep from getting bored."

[12:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: We should have a drink then, noo?

[12:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: V'Tira!

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods and looks to V'Tira.*

[12:14] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Well, the two aren't exclusive, you know.

[12:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -walks into the lounge reading her padd and up to the bar- Rok...ICe water....and a cheese danish if you would

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Rok] Right up, ma'am.

[12:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -seems to be nodding her head as she reads mouthing something softly-

[12:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: V'Tira?

[12:16] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: You can not be bored /and/ enjoy what you're doing it.

[12:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A glass of water and a danish are placed in front of V'Tira.*

[12:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -softly recite as if in a trace as she reads= ....Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery ...Hears the silence so loud...Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be...Now they see what will be,

[12:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I suppose so. I just never really thought about it in those terms anyway."

[12:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -her head bobs as she softly recites and reads her PADD oblivous to all else- For whom the bell tolls .... Time marches on... You bet you...For whom the bell tolls

[12:19] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Sounds like you think time is there to simply just pass. It's not. You should enjoy every second you can.

[12:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -continues to bob her head silently as she reads her PADD-

[12:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: V'Tira?

[12:21] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy places a hand on her shoulder.* She appears to be listening to something...

[12:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -keeps reading bobbing her head-

[12:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *gently strokes V'Tiras ear tip*

[12:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blinks at this.*

[12:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -her head bobs to a different rythmn now- Every shadow just behind me Shrouding every step I make Breaking every promise empty Pointing every finger at -feels the touch on her ear and sqrms and

[12:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -squeaks out- Mmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeee! -turns and quirks a brow a she instantly recovers before she slowly removes her crystal clear ear pieces-

[12:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: oh...Desiree..Catherine, good evening

[12:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Hello dear, How are you?

[12:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -cants her head and ponders the question a moment- I am...well, and yourself?

[12:24] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy does her best to maintain her composure as V'Tira squeaks.*

[12:24] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -calls across- Did someone step on a cat?

[12:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Good! Baker has a surprise for you

[12:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shuts off her playlist on her PADD leaving 'TOOL : Sober ' flashing on it-

[12:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blushes at this.*

[12:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -cringes a little at Dom's yell and quriks a brow- Inquiry?

[12:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Desiree- How cna it be a surprise if Iam to learn of it before hand?

[12:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Is it beforehand? What if it is to late?

[12:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -ponders this= Then the surprise remains, but i am prepared for one now

[12:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Baker procured a room for three for the night. Insisting you join us again.

[12:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and this is where i am to expect the surprise? -regards Cathy now-

[12:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Eurrrmmmm

[12:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: A quite curious location

[12:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I did not insist...but ummm...offered...

[12:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *giggles*

[12:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am confused now? You do not insist on the surprise? but merely offer one?

[12:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks very flustered.*

[12:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes...

[12:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and it requires a room of three to display such a surprise?

[12:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I think she insisted the moment she got a room for three

[12:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...curious

[12:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: So then attendance is compulsatory Catherine?

[12:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Eummm...only if you...wished to join us...

[12:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: that is only logical f the surprise is to be displayed there

[12:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Unless I have the option of receiving your surprise here int he bar?

[12:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: You do! But it owuld cust us all our comission.

[12:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *would cost

[12:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -ponders this- Indeed...so the surprise is of a felonious nature then Catherine?

[12:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy's cheeks are bright red at this point.*

[12:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baler] Eruuuum...no...

[12:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *keeps giggeling, trying not to burst out in to full laughter*

[12:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Did you steal something for me? I do not recoomend such a course of action

[12:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That is not what occured...

[12:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Did you kidnap someone?

[12:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker]...no

[12:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Is i improper for me to continue to inquire of the nature of the surprise then?

[12:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: No, Go ahead... unless Baker wish to just tell you

[12:34] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Erum...maybe...

[12:34] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy closes her eyes at that..*

[12:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Will you become offended if i actually correctly guess the surprise?

[12:35] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No.

[12:35] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: -stretches and gets up, walking by the small group- Get a room, you three. -grins-

[12:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods-

[12:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -keeps a wary eye on Dom as he passes since there has already been ear touching tonight-

[12:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks over to Dom- Catherine has already secured such a room for us apparently..and within I am to receive some for of surprise

[12:37] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Oh I bet you are.

[12:37] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy closes her eyes at this revelation to Dom.*

[12:37] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *bursts out laughting*

[12:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Well there is not need to gamble on it..the surprise is already indicated apparently

[12:38] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: Then why are you all here?

[12:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I have not yet finished my cheese danish

[12:38] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: It's small. It go with you.

[12:38] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: *can go

[12:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy turns to Rok and pleads for a strong drink.*

[12:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- I will not argue that the danish is not transplantable, but I do not yet believe there was urgency to Cateherine's insistance I join them this evening

[12:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Cathy- Was there?

[12:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As it is served she takes the drink and sips it eagerly.*

[12:40] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: I'm sure she'd rather be there than here at this moment.

[12:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Not on my part...but her...*she looks to Desiree.*

[12:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Of what are you basing this assessment on Dominick?

[12:41] [DOIC1] Dominick Jacobs@Sebetharen: The fact her face looks like a cherry tomato and she's drinking herself stupid.

[12:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Catherine- The surprise is time sensitive?

[12:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy lets out a small sigh.*

[12:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It is not...

[12:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Did you rent the room for forever?

[12:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] For the week...

[12:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Desiree and then looks to Cathy at this-

[12:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: So it is time sensitive then?

[12:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Cathy at this-

[12:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Technically yes...however it is not time sensitive at this moment.

[12:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and the surprise within is not perishable?

[12:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No.

[12:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -ponders this and nods- I accept

[12:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: if the offer still remains

[12:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker]...it does.

[12:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Catherine are you unwell?

[12:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No...why do you ask:?

[12:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You seem...flustered I believe is the word

[12:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks down and sips her drink.* That does not mean I am...unwell

[12:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Then lets go! She will be a lot more red before the night is over *giggles*

[12:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I see..but it is indicative that the teasing you have endured from Desiree and myself was indeed...successful

[12:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blushes deeply at that and nods to V'Tira, raising both eyebrows at her admittance of teasing.*

[12:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a playful brow a Cathy-

[12:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy downs the rest of her drink and smiles.*

[12:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Desiree- Is this the most red we have gogten her do you think?

[12:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Rok, be a darling and bring me two bottles of cider

[12:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks down at the floor.*(

[12:51] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Rok] Right away, ma'am.

[12:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I seen redder

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: So how did the inspection go? Since i was tied up in my briefing

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Did we pass?

[12:51] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods, still not making eyecontact.* We did.

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and Ezri's updates?

[12:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Updates?

[12:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Am I mistaken? Or was she not due for a science package software update?

[12:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ah...those are in the hands of engineering.

[12:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- I see...well I am sure she is in good hands with Nalie installing them

[12:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.* She insisted on reviewing the code first in her report...something about an incident on the Sentinel with a virus...

[12:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I do not know the full details.

[12:56] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Command has given us a week to update and await further orders.

[12:56] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] In the meantime the rest of the crew is on leave.

[12:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods slowly- Indeed...I was briefed on that much

[12:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Given deployment is of a strategic nature often

[12:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I think one of the bridge technicians spoiled it. *She smiles, a bit buzzed now.*

[12:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Desiree- Spoiled?

[12:59] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Rok returns with two bottles of cider, placing them on the counter.*

[1:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *picks up the bottles* We will tell you in private. Thank you Rok!

[1:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods and lowers his voice.* One of them mentioned...Magellan.

[1:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *her

[1:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That is hardly a secret

[1:03] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Maybe...but I think somebody didn't want us to know our next destination yet.

[1:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You do know the Sentinel is now the second of the fleet to go through

[1:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and returned safely

[1:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ooooh.

[1:05] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You should be proud of your old shipmates. *She smiles.*

[1:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I wonder why we cant stick to our own galaxy as its still so much to explore

[1:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at Desiree- Why should we not be able to do both?

[1:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I... Just... Every time we expand our horizons we encounter hostiles that are far supperior to us and cause massive damage untill we somehow overcome them. Poking in to another galaxy feels like >

[1:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > Begging for new borgs or dominions or iconians or... such

[1:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -considers thos and then adds- Why do we fall Desiree?

[1:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy observes Desiree, waiting for her answer.*

[1:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I do not know, We are technologically inferior and generally unprepared I think?

[1:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We can not learn to rise and improve how we do so if we never attempt something and fall

[1:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Logically we can only go forward when an oppurtunity presents itself

[1:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Stagnation only leads to atrophy

[1:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: ...experimentation is required.

[1:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker]

[1:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No

[1:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: not experiementation...effort

[1:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: That is true, But all these times it has been at horrible costs

[1:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: If it was easy Desiree would not everyone be able to succeed then? what hen would be the value of education?

[1:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I... Do not wish to talk of this, The federations ability to always be technologicaly inferior is a... sore point. and I do not wish to ruin the evening! *she smiles*

[1:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy frowns at this.*

[1:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am curious...if i could make you smile...may i quote soemthing to you?

[1:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -she says to Desiree-

[1:18] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy loosk to Desiree at this.*

[1:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Sure

[1:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks into Desiree's eyes, her tone an octave softer yet she remains impassive-

[1:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are, One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and

[1:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and fate, but strong in will -reaches out to gnetly place just two of her figners under her chin she finishes softly-

[1:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. -keeps her gaze as she lets the meaning sink in for her-

[1:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: ... I do not wish to be rude, but I afraid I will be... "The objective of war is not to die for your cause, it is to make the other guys die for thiers."

[1:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Teh federation is a little to good at dying for our cause

[1:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Interesting...I was speaking of the sprit to volve and learn...and you returned with a quote from Genral Paton I do believe?

[1:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -slowly lowers her arm remvoingher fingers from her chin-

[1:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -stiffens some now-

[1:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy furrows her brow.*

[1:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The true objective of war...is to never fight one Desiree -back to her usual calculating tone-

[1:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Indeed, True victory is defeating the enemy without fighting.

[1:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: i do not disagree and currently we are not at war.

[1:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: No... I am just worried another supperior enemy comes trough that place as it did over bajor

[1:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: or the borg or the iconians or the... euhmm... I wish to drop the topic, if that is okey?

[1:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Illogical defense of your postion. In theory the same can be said of further exploration into this very galaxy as well

[1:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods slowly and once- As you wish.

[1:31] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks down at the floor.*

[1:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *smiles*

[1:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Are you two okey? I am sorry if I... snapped a little

[1:36] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Errummm...yes.

[1:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am well, if i offended it was not my intent

[1:37] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: You did not offend V'Tira. Not at all. I am sorry I was rude

[1:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is something you clearly feel strongly about, any error after was due to my inability to fully comprehend your emotional state

[1:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You are not a telepath...

[1:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Vulcans are powerful telepaths love

[1:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at catherine=

[1:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles.* I meant beyond a touch telepath.

[1:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -cants her head- I believe the ancient term was...check your privlidge there Catherine

[1:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blinks and looks to the ground once more.*

[1:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Should we go to our room and... show cathy just how amazing Vulcans can be?

[1:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That was in jest..or my poor attempt at it

[1:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...andi agree to leave all 'shop talk' here a the bar Desiree

[1:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Lovely

[1:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: In liue of present company...I could not agree more...would be such a phrase were I emotional

[1:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles at the last line, shaking her head.*

[1:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Oh but you have lovely beautiful emotions V'Tira

[1:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -playfully stiffens at this- Desiree...I see no reasonto insult me this way

[1:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy giggles.*

[1:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: OH my... I think I should be punished, nooo?

[1:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do believe a dgeree of recompense is require..yes -quirks a playful brow at Desiree and Catherine-

[1:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blushes deep red.*

[1:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Shall we go, before someone belives red alert has been issues?

[1:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Rok...prepare y danish for transit if you would

[1:51] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Rok nods and turns back to the replicator.*

[1:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *He returns with a danish for V'Tira.*

[1:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -collects her danish and nods to her friends- I believe my buisness here has concluded -she collects her PADD as well-

[1:56] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy follows Desiree.*

[1:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -hugs her PADD to he Chest as she joins her friends-

[1:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: hahah I KNEW it!!

[1:58] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Enters the turbolift and then proceeds to the assigned quarters.

[1:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -playfully hip bumps her friends into one another while remaining with her calm emotionless facade-
