Pilgrim 6/11

[9:00] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays as the camera comes into focus on an M-class planet, marred by multiple hideous, fleshy red masses across the continents and weaving into the water with thick, ...

[9:02] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: grotesque tendrils, spewing spores into the water and air with each pulsation of its organic mass.  The camera pulls back to show the Pilgrim working with the Enigma and Canberra, the latter...

[9:02] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: of them an Excelsior refit, to establish a quarantine around the diseased planet as T'Pang's log begins... *

[9:03] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Captain's Log, Stardate 96355.89. We are on station in the LMC-2139 system with the USS Enigma and USS Canberra...

[9:05] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: In orbot above the former agricultureal colony of Edyris. The world had been overcome by the parasitic infection known as the Red Blight. Most organic matter on the planet has been consumed...

[9:06] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: As far as we can tell the world is a total loss and we are working to set up a quarantine to keep the infection contained until it can be steralized..

[9:08] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: my concern is the indications that this may have been a cordinated attack and not a natural occurance. the idea of which is hard to get my head around. Still the most immediate issue is the looming...

[9:09] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: humanitarian crisis that the Beryxians face. Edyris was thier primary agricultural world and without it they face near certain starvation. We are to meet with thier representative to discuss ...

[9:10] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: possibilities for relief efforts. Hopefull we can help them avod tragedy. End Log.

[9:10] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Captain, defense emplacements are at seventy five percent deployment.

[9:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she shuts off the log recorder and put it away neatly.--

[9:11] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Watched his scans and sims of the planet eradication, sighing.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Impassively gazes at the viewscreen while one hand rests on her console*

[9:11] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Engineering was bustling that day as Li's minions worked on manufacturing the quarantine defensives.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *monitors the deployment of platforms and anti ship mines*

[9:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "understood."

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well don't we just have a talent for tripping into a huge mess."

[9:12] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *watches the worker bees report in positioning*

[9:12] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li silently oversees what is going on.*

[9:12] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I believe that stands the meaning of the "boldly" in boldly go.

[9:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well, let's hope we don't boldly get turned into red goo, I rather like my current form."

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We will not be. It is not us I worry of."

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "That is quite true Mister Aquila. We trip into situations because we are out here looking for situations to trip into..."

[9:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I always interpreted "Boldly go" as "Screw up massively and unintentionally, but look amazing doing it"

[9:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "I'm just happy I got to chuck a ship into a star."

[9:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "First time?"

[9:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Yessir."

[9:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, it only gets better the more you do it."

[9:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jillian]  "Intruder alert," *he could hear from behind.*

[9:15] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: That sounds pretty awesome actually.. *he chimed in as he heard the feed while busying himself*

[9:15] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Still, it is tactically unsound to strike such a blow to your food world. Terrorist or not.

[9:15] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "Bridge kids always get to have all the fun."

[9:16] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Not if the dark is fucking with your brain."

[9:16] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is my assessment if Syrixa gains independeance, They will hold sufficient native production for the native populations needs."

[9:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Actually, it's a brilliant tactic if you think about it.  These terrorists, they only care about their colony, right?"

[9:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...What Vaylith said."

[9:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, if this is the work of seperatists them they must not be in thier right minds..."

[9:17] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Scorched earth is not an unknown tactic in human history, nor roman. But it always results in wide scale famine even to those seekign seperation.

[9:17] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: They may have food for now, but surely a war would follow. And they would stand alone.

[9:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Could also be that they didn't expect it to turn out like -this.-"  *She motioned to the planet on the screen.*

[9:18] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It could also be that they claimed boast of deed not their own.

[9:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That's true... we already determined it was almost certainly provided to them by apostates."

[9:18] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "perhaps...we will have to continue our investigation into this."

[9:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "ANd apostates aren't the most trustworthy people out there."

[9:18] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The main world will demand further tribute from the colonies to stay alive. This will effectively casue starvation on a planet with excess food production. Effectively taking the popluation of >

[9:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "That too.  They could've just seen an opportunity and taken it."

[9:19] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks at his console*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > Syrixa to view the government as an enemy. Who the ysuffer from, Furthering the cause of separating the colony for the collective."

[9:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs.* Hey there!

[9:19] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jillian]  "Hope I'm not interrupting?"

[9:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I suppose there is a logic to it, albeit a brutal logic."

[9:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "LMC logic.  I don't like it."  *She shook her head.*

[9:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Nobody does."

[9:20] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Such a thing could only end in war, and the potential loss of their own world unless they are acting from a position of military strength.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Logic is indifference to your appriciation of it. Commander."

[9:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Don't I know it..."

[9:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Not really, just watching the minions. How are you?

[9:21] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Brandt]  "Minions... I heard that!"  *He called over.*

[9:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "That is a good point Mister Aquila...these seperatists could be gearing up for a war..this biological attack could just be an opening salvo."

[9:22] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "They have already made their intention clear."

[9:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jillian]  "Just out for a stroll while the little guy has his nap.  Figured I'd take advantage of that holo nanny you got us."

[9:22] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A smarter ploy would have been to orchestrate accident on colony, use tightening reign to stoke fires of retaliatory attack. Instead of take blame and present scapegoat for parties yet loyal to >

[9:22] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: current regime.

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Terrorists aren't always the smartest folks."

[9:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "there is a lot here to try and understand."

[9:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Good thinking.

[9:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "speaking of the curent regime, have the Beryxians contacted us yet?"

[9:24] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The situation is progressing highly efficiently in the terrorists agenda. I fail to see why they would need an alternative method with current success."

[9:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She was about to open her mouth when she got an alert on her console.*  "...Right on cue, Captain.  Might want to get a lottery ticket while you're at it."

[9:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "..."

[9:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Put them on screen..."

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Gayle touched a button, and the image of Representative Vylar Esrix came into focus again, his white hair much better combed today.*

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Greetings Representative..."

[9:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  *He looked somewhat surprised to see T'Pang.*  "Greetings, is the Commander otherwise occupied?"

[9:27] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Computer: Make a note in the log, final approval to initiate treatment of Arandak Tirrhe has been given and treatment is to commense in just a few minutes.  Isis watch over him."

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, Valkriss is busy coordinating the quarantine effort on board the Enigma."

[9:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "I see, to whom am I speaking then?"

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Grins some.*

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am Captain T'Pang, commanding officer of the USS Pilgrim."

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "Ah, then it is an honour, Captain T'Pang.  I am Vylar Esrix, Representative of the Hundred and Fourth district of Beryxia.  Our Parliament is very interested in meeting with your people."

[9:30] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Dr. McCoy, you will be monitoring vitals, and adjusting the isolation field conditions on a moment to moment basis to give him what he needs.  Patient has sufficiently pain blocked?"

[9:31] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "yes, and we are very interested in meeting with you and your people. We have a lot of things to discuss."

[9:31] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "I gave him a dose that could knock out a targ, he'll be sleeping through the whole thing."

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "Absolutely we do.  We can send you our coordinates, the party and I will be there to greet you of course."

[9:33] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you, I would not wish to be awake either... this is going to hurt just to watch, I can't imagine the agony he will be undergoing."

[9:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "please do. We head to your location as soon as we are finished here."

[9:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "Yes, of course... we will be waiting."  *He clasped his hands into fists and touched them to either side of his collarbone.*  "Safe travels until then."

[9:34] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *checks progress*

[9:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I look forward to meeting you in person representative Esrix."

[9:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "As do I.  Fare well."

[9:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods--

[9:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The call ended.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Do we have the coordinates?"

[9:37] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "We had them since before, ma'am."

[9:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Yes, ma'am.  They correspond to the data Vaylith recovered."

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Something really bugs me here. I mean, apart from the whole terrorist bioweapon thing."

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "oh good...good job." ---she responds awkwardly--

[9:38] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Computer: Enter into the log, As this is ultimately my responsibility...I am administering the treatment dose at 96355.9, SRV-96311A retroviral culture, Doctor McCoy, Nurse Rigby in witness."

[9:38] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "What is it, Lieutenant?"

[9:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at T'Ghor curiously--

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The tribute they paid the Dark - Ver... Elder Obsidian. It seems they are gathering truly immense quantities from multiple sources, not just using the Irushey."

[9:39] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Captian final preperations of the minefield can be overseen by Enigma and Canberra, Pilgrim ordinance contribution is finished.

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "That is a concern, they must be stock piling it for a reason..."

[9:40] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Good luck, Mister Tirrhe..."

[9:40] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Inquiery for meeting, Source of equipment to harvest the elder obsidian."

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glances at Aquila.-- "Acknowledged Lieutenant..."

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to VayVay.* "Exactly. The equipment to gather it should be way above their level."

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm lay in a course to meet with the Beryxians."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Be advised this has diminished onboard munitions store to 30 percent of normal capacity.

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And... the dyson sphere theory for use of elder obsidian...

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Enslaving some races for it and extorting others... it's very important to them, it seems."

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Noted lieutenant, I will try not to get into any fights."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Advicing command of new status and nessesity of underway replensighment for prolonged mission."

[9:42] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Always an advisable course of action Captain.

[9:42] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he smiles*

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes... I kinda... feel something in my gut. It is just a theory, but I believe the dyson sphere theory may hold merit... Perhaps the Dark intends a massive counter-offensive on the areas of the dark>

[9:42] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia looks on once the treatment is applied, monitoring the scanns with McCoy.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *types something*

[9:43] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Ocean we freed, and wants to encapsulate the stars in Elder OBsidian... not only to block them out, but perhaps maybe even snuff them out... not to speak of the morale effect it will have.'

[9:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Gayle tell the Enigma to hold the fort down while we are away."

[9:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Aye ma'am, calculating the way to LMC-2154."

[9:43] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "All we can do is wait and see.  Pray if you do that. He's too important to lose, but If I were him, i would take the chance as well."

[9:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Already on it, Captain... Arfacio says not to get into any fun without her."

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she grins--- "Tell her we will send her a post card."

[9:44] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "What kind of force is nessesary to efficiently destroy Veracysium?"

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Engage helm..."

[9:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "An incredible amount of force, I'd imagine?  It's extremely tough, we've never managed to destroy any."

[9:45] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Could it survive a planet shattering?"

[9:45] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "I have been running possible numbers from the mining equipment we got from the Irushey, but..."

[9:45] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Thinks for a bit.* "I am fairly certain it could, Lieutenant."

[9:46] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Pilgrim turned away from the others, gliding to the outer edges of the system before leaping into warp.*

[9:46] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Speculation: Perhaps the Beryxian are to inefficient at the ammount needed due to recent changes in the LMC."

[9:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "You mean... like the Dark is stepping up the collection of it?"

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That does not make too much sense, I believe. If the Dark wanted to extract from their shattered planets, she would just do so."

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I believe the Lieutenant theorized the Dark -wants- us to destroy that Colony."

[9:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She blinked.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Initial assessment, Disruption to Beryxian government interups resource collection, Unefficient to goal. Led me to assess how current development could benefit Dark forces."

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Let's try not to speculate too much."

[9:49] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is my assessment the currently dominant theory of source of Red blight, would not provide Red blight if it stood in conflict with thier own goals."

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, not like we have much else to do while we travel, Captain."

[9:49] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Understood."

[9:50] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Removing potential slave populace from resource operation does prove counter productive.

[9:50] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he stops* Apologies captain I will return to task.

[9:50] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "It is okay, I am concerned that excessive speculation with little evidence may be counter productive."

[9:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Approaching Beryxia in five minutes... they didn't branch out far from their homeworld I guess."

[9:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "acknowledged helm."

[9:51] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Lack of replicator technology would limit deep space exploration range.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Intent was not exploration. It was a need of resources. Culture seem to not hold noticebly high exploration interest."

[9:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "it is one of the human species most noticable attributes..its high level of curiosity."

[9:54] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Sitting down ... she brings monitors online in the research area for external view and bridge monitoring off to one side as she maintains main focus on the cellular scanning of their patient.*

[9:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Not may other species can match it in that regard."

[9:55] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Species 5721 Where warp capable for a long time before comitting to noticeble exploration. Seeing such as of lesser importance then the efficient improvement of own life."

[9:56] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: 5721?

[9:56] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: ""Trill."

[9:56] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Ah, I different type of exploration.

[9:56] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: (( a different *))

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Entering the system in five... four... three..."

[9:58] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jillian]  *She leaned over to look at the bridge monitor with interest.*

[9:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods-- "understood."

[9:58] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "If such can be designated exploration. Current assessment is that Beryxians are explorers of artistic development, Having reacher further then their otherwise cultural and tehcnological average."

[9:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Two... one!"

[9:58] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Their military and medical technology being two of their least efficient aspects."

[9:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "...so they are artists...that is note worthy."

[9:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sidesteps to allow her to do so.*

[9:59] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Pilgrim dropped out of warp, gliding smoothly into the new system.  A gorgeous blue sun burned brightly in the centre, and just far enough away to compensate for the heat of their star was a...

[9:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes. Easy to win over with pretty, sugared-up words."

[10:01] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: small ecumenopolis, the entire surface save for some of its shimmering purple oceans covered with white buildings.*

[10:02] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *glancing over* "Hummph.. seems their primary art form is copulation."

[10:02] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: So they are as Athens once stood.

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "i can see why they need to grow food off world."

[10:03] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As the Pilgrim closed in on the world, they could see the buildings starting to change colours, the perspective making them appear golden, then deep purple, green, ever changing with...

[10:03] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: their approach.*

[10:03] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I wonder what material they weave their structurs from.

[10:04] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: Oooh I bet the oceans look beautiful..and the buildings too!? *he returned to his daily readings but only after glancing every now and then back at the feed*

[10:04] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Woah.

[10:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jillian]  "A whole planet as a city... crazy."

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that is an interesting question..all of thier materials likely come from off world."

[10:04] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks at the passive tactical scanners*

[10:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Quite so."

[10:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Watches his scans as well.*

[10:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Bring us into standard orbit."

[10:06] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *raises an eyebrow* For once we stand the superior captain. The defense platforms would not penatrate our shields.

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that is good to know lieutenant."

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "hopefully it wont be information we need..."

[10:07] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yes, T'ghor, I stand reminded of the stories of Cortez, from earth.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Weapons systems consistent with late 22nd century early 23rd starfleet.

[10:08] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Gayle, hail the surface. Let them know we are here."

[10:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye, ma'am, but I think they may already know..."

[10:09] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Cortez?" *Scoffs* "No."

[10:09] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "understood."

[10:09] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Turning to the side she looks at the bridge monitors, then types a message sending it off to Aquila at Tactical.*

[10:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Through the viewscreen, they could see silvery, triangular-shaped escort-sized starships flying in a greeting formation around them.*

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "...rolling out the red carpet I see..."

[10:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I have Representative Esrix on line, ma'am."

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "put him on screen."

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The representative reappeared on the screen, looking like someone had just put him in make-up.*  "Ah, Captain, wonderful timing, the news crews just arrived."

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He peeked out of the turbolift with his camera drone at his shoulder.*

[10:12] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *shot the cardassian a glance*

[10:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she frowns-- "Well I suppose we can do a new confernce. But, I would like to hold our initial talks in a much more private venue if that is possible."

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He offered the Magna Roman a slick smile.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *tapped a button sending the turbolift to a maintenance run to deck 15.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "Of course, of course.  You should meet with the party leaders first, after all.  This is a big occasion for both our people, don't you agree?"

[10:14] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *returns his attention to the view screen*

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He only managed to get out a,* "He---"  *before being shot away.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "certainly, I would like to meet your people. It is an important occasion after all."

[10:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "We'll send you coordinates then, a lovely location where we can have a civilised discourse."

[10:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Received, Captain."

[10:15] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We look forward to it."

[10:16] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He suddenly barged into the room.*  "Wake up, Ensigns!"

[10:16] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "I was not asleep, sir."  *he jumped up and saluted.*

[10:16] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he stared at Rhys* Nobody was?

[10:16] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Well good.  You been watching the bridge feed?"

[10:17] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: Yes sir, and I cleaned up your gear as well. *he smiled*

[10:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "...I will beam down with my people shortly representative."

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "We look forward to it.  Until then, Captain."

[10:18] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods as the signal is cut.--

[10:18] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "...Well that's alright then.  Good job.  Your reward is away team duty."

[10:19] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She made a kissy face at Istrin behind Rhys' back.*

[10:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Gayle inform the senior staff they have a diplomatic gathering to attend, in thier dress uniforms...."

[10:19] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he sighed before mumuring* A reward would've been shore leave down there..

[10:19] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "What was that, Ensign?"

[10:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye, ma'am."

[10:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Let Ghonor know he is authorized to attend this press conference. We may as well record it from out end as well."

[10:20] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I recommend constant transporter lock if possible.

[10:20] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: At least on yourself captian.

[10:20] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: I was telling Miss Ettore how much excited I am to visiting.

[10:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "acknowledged."

[10:21] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *All of the senior staff would receive alerts that they were to attend a diplomatic gathering in dress whites.*

[10:21] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he then got up and nonchalantly gathered his gear*

[10:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I see no reason that should be an issue."

[10:21] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Permission to go get dressed proper, captain?"

[10:21] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Great.  Put on your dress uniform and get ready in the transporter room."

[10:21] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *calls up brak*

[10:22] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks over to Jill.* Looks like I'm on dress duty.

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes Mister T'Ghor. Lets call up our relief so everyone can get properly dressed."

[10:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jillian]  "Best part of the job, right?"

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Calls up his relief and heads to the lift.*

[10:23] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I would also suggest delta on Ready Alert better prepared than not.

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "You want me down there or here minding the shop, Captain?"

[10:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "if it makes you feel better Mister Aquila."

[10:23] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li rolls his eyes, leaning over to peck Jill's cheek before heading to get changed.*

[10:23] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "=^= Delancey to Captain

[10:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "You should be down there Gayle, since Valkriss is not here you are my acting second in commmand."

[10:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jillian]  *She chuckled, heading after him since... they lived in the same room.*

[10:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Captain here doctor..=/\=

[10:24] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *issues alert actions to delta*

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Yes, ma'am."

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Everyone's replacements started filtering in.*

[10:25] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= "Captain, McCoy and I are monitoring our VIP's medical procedure at this time.  Are you certain you need me at this function?"

[10:25] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nodded to brak then tucked into the turbolift*

[10:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --hands the TV remote over to her relief.--

[10:25] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Deck 5.

[10:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Deck 3. *Li says as he enters the turbolift.*

[10:26] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *enters his quarters and retrieve shis dress greys*

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Valkriss cut-out took the remote.*

[10:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=I would like you to be there...but, if this is something you cant leave I will make an exception in this case. When we do begin negotiations with the Breyxians I would like you to be available...

[10:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: then if possible doctor.=/\=

[10:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks over at the small handle shaped mobile emitter device takes it and places it up his sleeve*

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McClure]  *He arrived and took the ops console from Gayle.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Sends another update the nleaves her console, bringing her PADD*

[10:28] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= "Understood Captain."

[10:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --after her relief takes over she heads to her ready room.--

[10:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Lift go swoosh.*

[10:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The lift doors suddenly opened, and the gigantic, pale Lieutenant Sar was staring emotionlessly at Li and Jill.*

[10:30] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looked at his roman armor* A shame, they may apprecieate the design.

[10:30] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he ducks out of the quarters*

[10:30] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin waited patiently for the crowd to gather in the transporter room*

[10:31] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  *her cheeks lit up crimson and grabbed Li's hand, pulling him past Sar and to their quarters.*

[10:31] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *waits on the turbolift*

[10:31] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *exits on deck 2

[10:31] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Working on the algorythms previously designed for monitoring the proceedure, she tightens the warnings to alert sooner if anything is out of expectations.  She sets up to forward to his wrist PADD.*

[10:31] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li has a grin on his face as he is dragged.*

[10:31] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *approaches*

[10:32] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *enters the transporter room*

[10:32] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She headed inside, tugging on her jacket.*

[10:32] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Issue with your tailor Commander?

[10:32] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --makes final adjustments to her dress unifrom. making sure the bling is straight and level.---

[10:32] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "You never had your jacket ride up a little when you move?"

[10:33] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey dresses, breaking protocol by keeping her wrist PADD on over her uniform, linking to her private earbuds.*

[10:33] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Eventually is in the transport room too.*

[10:33] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *his uniform is pressed and looks as if that would probably not be a problem*

[10:33] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Not lately.

[10:33] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he eyed Marcus enviously*

[10:33] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He arrived with his camera drone, wearing his tailored three-piece suit.*

[10:34] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: **works on her comm badge and ribbon bar with an efficient, emotionless OCD-Borg level of dedication to perfection*

[10:34] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Doctor McCoy, this will be a marathon not a sprint, I have to remind myself.  I am on coms if needed."

[10:34] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: -enters the transporter room and surveys the group before stepping up on to the transporter pad.--

[10:35] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He stormed in not much later.*  "I hate dress-up."  *He had several high-ranking award ribbons on his chest.*

[10:35] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Transporter room' *she requests upon entering the lift*

[10:35] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li changes into his dress uniform.*

[10:35] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *steps on the padd*

[10:35] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin who was totally wearing his dress uni stepped on up onto the pad*

[10:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Gayle, Rhys and Ghonor got on the pad.*

[10:36] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *looking at the transporter* "Captain? perhaps I misunderstood.. I thought this was to be a receiving party."

[10:36] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Marches on to the PADD as she is done with the balancing*

[10:36] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --as the doctor enters she raises an eyebrow-- "Dcotor? I thought you were remaining behind to monitor your experiment?"

[10:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "We can't very well transport the whole planet up here, can we?"

[10:37] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "No we will be headed to the surface."

[10:37] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She lifts her arm to show the PADD* "I misunderstood, thought you would only need me for a few minutes.*

[10:37] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Heads to the transport pad too.*

[10:37] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "

[10:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li heads out towards the turbolift.*

[10:37] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "This will take longer than a few minutes. I you must remain behind I understand."

[10:37] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks at dahlia and the captain*

[10:37] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She frowns* "I really should stay on board, for our VIP's safety."

[10:38] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Deck 2.

[10:38] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Understood doctor. I will leave you to look after our VIP."

[10:38] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Doctor. I advice if you are personally uanable to attend. A representetive of medical to initiate preliminary discussion of the current medical crisises on the surface would serve well, ma'am."

[10:39] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes if initiate discussions it would be good to have a medical officer there."

[10:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Oh yeah, I can just see old Vant loving it down there with all those free spirited artists..."

[10:40] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --cant help but smirk at that comment--

[10:40] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: None stand the doctor's equal at that. If you permit me captain I can pilot a shuttle to the ground. It may provide talking point as well for their engineers. This is to be a display of what >

[10:40] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: potential alliance offers.

[10:40] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *stepping over to the booth, she sticks around to see them off.* "It seemed to me they already are aware of the issues.  Perhaps, bringing them up to see the lab would be a more effective bargaining."

[10:41] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that would also be a effective idea doctor. "

[10:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "They want us down there, they're calling the shots on this first contact, Doctor."

[10:41] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *nods to Gayle*

[10:41] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "For now we will head to the surface to make initial contact. "

[10:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Yes, ma'am."

[10:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Transporter Operator]  "Ready when you are, Captain."

[10:43] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks around to see if everyone is in place.-- "Keep the lights on for us doctor."

[10:43] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "yes M'am"

[10:43] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Energize chief."

[10:44] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Our heroes dematerialised from the transporter pad...*

[10:44] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looked at dahlia as the anular confinement beam subjected him to transporter paralysis.*

[10:45] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Moving back through the halls, she doesn't undo her hair, but does remove the dress blouse leaving the sweater in place before putting lab coat back on in sick bay.*

[10:45] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *...And reappeared in a vast courtyard, the ground below them made of polished grey rocks with multiple fountains and topiaries placed in aesthetically pleasing points.  Massive, ornate buildings...

[10:45] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= CMO to Bridge.

[10:46] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looked around once the confinement beam released him*

[10:46] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: that appeared to be covered nearly completely in windows that changed their beautiful colours depending on the light hitting them.  Representative Esrix was standing not far away with a small group...

[10:47] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: of other Beryxians with him, all with little half-capes draped over their left shoulders, and one woman with the cape over both shoulders.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McClure]  =/\= "Bridge here."

[10:47] [DOIC5] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --approaches the representative.--

[10:47] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin looked as professional as can be during the field trip*

[10:47] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --approaches the representative again in the right channel.--

[10:48] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *eyes the group*

[10:48] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "Welcome, Captain T'Pang of the U.S.S. Pilgrim, to Beryxia.  I hope you find our planet to your liking."

[10:48] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Follows T'P, nodding respectfully to the Berixians.*

[10:49] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Representative Esrix, it is agreeable to meet you in person, and you world most impressive."

[10:49] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Ghonor's camera drone whirred to life as the Cardassian stayed in back.*

[10:49] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Dispassionately follows Tpang one step behind, one step to the side. walking on firm steps*

[10:49] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm not sure what instructions you were left with.  But I'd like to know, since a delegation of the Dawn alliance would make very tastey terror targets, 'at you have a constant lock on 'r away team?"

[10:49] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I would like to present the officers and crew of the USS Pilgrim."

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McClure]  =/\= "Yes."

[10:50] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "My second officer Lieutenant Commander Gayle..."

[10:51] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Vaylith my strategic operations officer.."

[10:51] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Gayle made a lovely little bow, to which the Beryxians offered their fists to their collarbones.*

[10:51] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= "I would also would request, I was just informed that I may have to join them on the surface. Please have a shuttle on standbye."

[10:51] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Emotionlessly offers a single firm nod*

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McClure]  =/\= "Acknowledged."

[10:51] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Commander Zorin Li my chief engineer."

[10:52] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "...Lieutenant T'Ghor, my chief science officer..."

[10:52] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods respectfully.*

[10:53] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Aquila, my tactical officer.."

[10:53] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *nods in greeting*

[10:53] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Noded when he was introduced.*

[10:53] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *she gave Li a slight smirk.*

[10:55] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "This is lieutenant Vaax, my security officer."

[10:57] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "This is my chief of security, Lieutenant Rhys..."

[10:58] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He managed to actually look dignified for once as he saluted the Beryxians.*

[10:58] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks around again at the Beryxians.*

[10:58] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *He smiled sweetly at the new faces as best he could*

[10:59] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she gives the Beryxians a bow and then stand at attention.--

[11:00] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Stands to attention as the captain does so*

[11:00] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Esrix]  "An honour to meet you all.  These are my fellow members of parliament, Representatives Vanaris, Chyran, Zhyora, and leader of the Party of Virtues, Speaker Yalire."

[11:01] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  *The woman with the full shoulder cape gave an elegant bow.*  "It is a pleasure and an honour to receive you here.  Please, let us offer you refreshment."

[11:01] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "it is most agreeable to meet all of you. hopefully we can work together to help deal with the current situation."

[11:02] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  *She gave a somewhat stilted smile.*  "Yes, the Red Blight... a terrible, terrible tragedy.  We welcome your assistance, of course."

[11:02] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "yes a most terrible situation. For now though we would welcome some refreshments."

[11:04] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *eyes something a moment*

[11:05] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Please, follow me."  *She made a gesture with her arm, guiding them into a lovely open-air building which utilised the natural light through painstakingly designed glass ceilings.*

[11:06] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --follows Yalire, looking about curiously-

[11:06] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *Marcus followed the rest but held back behind*

[11:06] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Followed after T'P, looking around impassively.*

[11:06] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As they stepped inside they would see a number of Beryxians holding perfectly still poses where one might expect statuary, clad in nothing but ornate jewelry.*

[11:07] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *dispassionately marches after T'Pang. emptily observing her surrounding, assessing, analyzing while looking her nroamlly emotionless and disinterested self*

[11:07] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Looks at the "Statues", tilting his head some.*

[11:07] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks around a slight recognition of simular custom*

[11:08] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --feels a little wierd as she eyes the living statues.--

[11:08] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he glanced over at the friendly statue people with curiosity*

[11:08] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dahlia tunes to the sensor feed instead of video of the bridge.*

[11:08] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *On a low, long table that made up the majority of the room, there were a number of dishes as well as comfortable-looking pillows for sitting.*

[11:08] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "this is all very lovely...you did not have to go to this much trouble.."

[11:09] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *under his breath* We have entered Greece after all it would seem.

[11:09] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Nonsense, this is the first formal meeting of our people after all."

[11:10] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Please, be seated.  I'm sure there are many questions to be exchanged between our people."

[11:10] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks at the servants a moment*

[11:10] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods and finds a seat---

[11:11] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Takes a seat on a pillow, trying to fold his uncomfortably long body in a way that he doesn't take up -too much- of the others' space*

[11:11] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *sits*

[11:11] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks over the food--

[11:11] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A number of young Beryxians stepped inside and arranged them at the far back of the chamber, beginning to play strange instruments which produced almost heavenly, serene high notes.*

[11:11] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin plopped himself down onto a pillow and looked around at the others with a small hint of excitement*

[11:12] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looking a tthe dishes in front of him* Captain if you would permit me a question to our hosts?

[11:12] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "go right ahead Mister Aquila"

[11:13] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The light patterns on the table were constantly shifting and dancing across the plates and serving dishes.*

[11:13] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looked to the minister* The display, symbolic in nature or for appreciation of form both crafted by hands and biology? *he motions to the statuesqe poses*

[11:14] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I ask because it bares similarity to known practice from my own homeworld.

[11:14] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  *She elegantly seated herself on her knees on one of the pillows.*  "The Beryxian body is as much a form of art as anything we could create ourselves.  It is a tribute to the majesty of...

[11:14] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: the Gods' design."

[11:15] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Then indeed the custom is similar. Gratitude for the clarification. These volunteers do so to enrich our unstanding.

[11:15] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Indeed.  They are true artists."

[11:17] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nodded to her*

[11:18] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "So you are of the... 'Dawn Alliance?'"

[11:18] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "this food looks tasty..."

[11:18] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks to the captain to see if he should continute speaking*

[11:20] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, we are a party to the Dawn Alliance..."

[11:20] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "We have heard very little of them, only that they oppose the Apostates?"

[11:22] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "They stand against the forces of the Dark...including the apostate fleet."

[11:24] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  *She nodded slowly, then motioned to the others.*  "Please... eat.  Your presence honours us."

[11:24] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks around at the walls*

[11:25] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *makes sure to always have food or drink in hand but doesnt consume*

[11:25] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --eats an hors d'oeuvres--

[11:26] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Would it offend you if I scanned the food? We are not clear how our biological systems..." *Looks to T'Pang.* "...Or whatever."

[11:26] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "I am sorry you had to bear witness to the Red Blight.  Its horrors have the entire populace on edge."

[11:26] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The food is safe for you to consume, Lieutenant."

[11:26] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ---looks at T'Ghor with a mothfull of food--

[11:26] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to VayVay, trusting the borg, and takes something that looks tasty.*

[11:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The artwork lining the walls, is interesting. Another exposition in form?

[11:27] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "This is delicious!"

[11:28] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he didnt need any more convincing as he took a cautious first bite*

[11:28] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "We are blessed with a beautiful blue sun, it has inspired us for generations to incorporate it into our very foundations.

[11:28] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li starts to dig in.*

[11:28] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --takes a drink of her drink.--

[11:29] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *fake drinks* They stand very beautiful.

[11:29] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Looks at the food, blinking. He appears to be in a state of utter confusion for a moment.*

[11:30] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *takes something deemed to be vegetarian and impassively eat it*

[11:30] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Those who consumed the food would soon realise it was simply heavenly, the labour of love and obvious culinary expertise.*

[11:30] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks at the other members of the Beryxian party around them*

[11:31] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Your cuisine is... wonderful."

[11:31] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The other Beryxians were quietly eating their meals while Yalire spoke to them.*

[11:31] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Your cooks are most expert at thier trade, this food is expertly prepared."

[11:32] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --stuff another hors d'oeuvres into her face.--

[11:32] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Cooking is as much a form of artistry as any other."  *There was a chime off in the distance, and the 'statues' all changed their positions elegantly.*

[11:32] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Huh... do the models change positions according to timing, or does it signify something?"

[11:33] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "It is in accordance with the clock, of course."

[11:34] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *raises an eyebrow* Interesting.

[11:34] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he admired the statues for their hard work* Wow..

[11:34] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Curious indeed." *Took a hors d'oeuvre before T'Pang devours them all.*

[11:35] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "So, we are curious.  You said you could help us with the threat of the Red Blight?"

[11:35] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --gives T'Ghor a look for taking her  hors d'oeuvres--

[11:35] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Innocently ignores T'Pang.*

[11:36] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He nodded lightly at Yalire's words, but does not speak, letting the Captain do so.*

[11:36] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "...No. I am not sure anything can be done regarding the red blight. your agricultural world is likely lost...and you will need to make other arrangements."

[11:36] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Servers moved around the table, filling empty goblets with a sweet-smelling, orange liquid.*

[11:37] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Raises an eyebrow at T'P's words very lightly, but says nothing.*

[11:37] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "My doctor is looking into treatments for the parasite...hopefully something can be figured out."

[11:37] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "May I speak, Captain?"

[11:37] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks at the liquid and smells it*

[11:37] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Go ahead lieutenant."

[11:37] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "...I see."  *She looked down at her lap for a moment, and then back up.*  "We've been attempting to make other arrangements, but we've lost so much with Edyris..."

[11:38] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We can help with advice on how to contain it quickly, should it break out on other worlds. And Edyris... we -could- destroy the parasite there completely, but that would require the planet to be >

[11:38] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Destroyed, and then terraformed so you could use it again."

[11:39] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *pretends to drink the new liquid*

[11:39] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Takes another hors d'oeuvre.*

[11:39] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I understand how important Edyris was to you. and I assure you the Dawn Alliance is ready to lend it assistence to aid you in recovering."

[11:40] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Destroy the planet and terraform it..?!"  *her eyes widened in genuins shock.  The other representatives looked up at T'Ghor.*

[11:40] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She took a sip of the drink, paused, then downed more.*

[11:40] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --drinks some of the strange alien orange juice.--

[11:41] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "It is a possibility. Our allies in the Dawn alliance have brought fully annihilated worlds back to life in a manner of days."

[11:41] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "That is... unnatural.  Only the Gods may give or take life away from an entire planet!"

[11:42] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "yes...some of our allies have access to advanced terraforming technology..."

[11:42] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Clears her throat*

[11:42] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "one way or another we will help you to recover from this disaster."

[11:43] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods to Vaylith--

[11:43] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *takes a sip of alien soda*

[11:43] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "We cannot... will not do that to Edyris.  No.  We must find a new world to farm... and stop the separatists from doing this to any other planet."

[11:43] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *clinches his teeth*

[11:45] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "You wishes in this matter will be respected of course..."

[11:46] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *raises an eyebrow*

[11:46] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "[reventing this from happening to other worlds is a top priority. We have not finished our investigation into who is responsible as of yet."

[11:47] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Thank you, Captain T'Pang.  We welcome your assistance, of course, and we are indeed grateful for it."  *She frowned then.*  "It was the separatists, it must have been.  They even took...

[11:47] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: credit for it, selfish, backwards fools..."

[11:48] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "they are of course prime suspects at this point."

[11:48] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "It could only have been them... they're madmen who want to go back to the days of old when we were ruled by a monarch mandated by blood instead of merit.  It's ludicrous.  Perhaps they're..

[11:49] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: hoping that they'll also rebuild the feudal structure and the log of them will become the galaxy's most inbred knighthood..."  *She shook her head.*  "I'm sorry.  It's difficult not to be infuriated..

[11:49] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: by them with all they've done."

[11:50] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: How long ago did you society shift from this system?

[11:50] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I understand..."

[11:50] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: My own world has undergone a similar transformation.

[11:50] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Looks to Aquila.*

[11:51] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "The queen graciously stepped down and granted power to the people twenty-five years ago.  It's also about how long Syrixan rebels have wanted to break away from us."

[11:54] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: How were your first leaders chosen?

[11:55] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Another chime sounded in the distance, and the statues once again shifted place.*

[11:55] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Tilted his head at the statues as if wondering how they don't go absolutely md.*

[11:55] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li glances at one of the statues.*

[11:56] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "According to legend, by the gods... but in truth it was simply whoever had the most followers.  We were a warlike people until the world was brought under a unified ruler, and we were...

[11:56] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: able to pursue more worthy goals in this life.  The beauty of it all."

[11:57] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The statues were absolutely still, even their breathing too controlled to be noticed.*

[11:57] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: This leader providing the dynastic foundation that lead to your most recent queen?

[11:57] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Is your current monarch not chosen by merit, not by blood"?

[11:58] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey checks the status of the Red Blight analysis as an aside, reminded by the situation that full understanding of the parasite is needed. She looks to see if the teams have found more weakness*

[11:58] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Indeed, to the point where she, in her wisdom, saw that her people had the right to govern themselves."  *She looked at T'Ghor.*  "Our queen is a figurehead, but still very important to...

[11:58] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: us.  Our prime minister is elected."

[11:59] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "I see."

[11:59] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: So the rebels, they swear fealty to her son?

[12:00] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Her nephew, Prince Xaven.  He's never publically endored them, of course."

[12:01] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "Doctor Delancey."  *he suddenly appeared behind her.*

[12:01] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I am privaleged unfortunately to the underworkings of such politics. But apologies if this is a sensitive inquiry, Is freedom of chooice a core component in your law?

[12:02] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Jumping slightly, despite herself, she takes a half a breath and turns* "Yes?"

[12:03] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Of course.  And I believe I know where you're going with this.  Were the Syrixans all united in their desire to leave, I don't believe we would have the right to hold them.  But the...

[12:03] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: separatists are not the majority there."

[12:04] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I suspect we should perhaps make a trip to this place to survey the political situation for ourselves...as part of our investigation into this matter."

[12:04] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "Well... I happened to get another one of those bright ideas.  Two in a year, I'm as surprised as you.  I ran some simulations on the Red Blight between administering to Mister Tirrhe."

[12:04] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *stops his line of questioning when teh captian speaks*

[12:04] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "I think you're going to want to look at this."  *A panel came to life.*

[12:05] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Go on... *she addressed her attention to his display*

[12:05] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "-With- your permission, of course." *He added*

[12:06] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Of course, you're welcome to verify anything I say.  If it was as easy as letting them break away peacefully we'd have done it before it got to the point where they'd destroy one of our...

[12:06] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: other colonies."

[12:07] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "Mister Jagoda already found that Veracysium, or 'Elder Obsidian' is fossilised organic matter, but we couldn't find out just what process it was that caused it to be compressed into that...

[12:07] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods, looking to T'Pang.* "Could I ask somthing, Captain?"

[12:08] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Go ahead lieutenant."

[12:08] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: kind of structure, hardness, et cetera.  So I simulated a few million years' worth of compression on the biological structure of this Red Blight."

[12:08] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "We have a match, Doctor Delancey."

[12:09] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Are you suggesting that our data shows this red blight is the source of that mineral?"

[12:09] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You said you have had contact with the apostates and pay a tribute to them, is that correct?"

[12:09] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "It's my current theory, Doctor."

[12:09] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Correct."

[12:09] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "What exactly do they desire in return?"

[12:10] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (In return for your peace*)

[12:10] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "They have an interest in a substance that's prevalent in our system on some of the asteroids, we harvest it for them and give it to them.  We can't use it for much ourselves."

[12:11] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "They would not have indicated as to what they want it for?"

[12:12] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey is silent for a few moments.* "That is a bit frightening.  I had a dream, odd one, but I could not shake the idea after that there is a direct link between this mineral and the crystals...

[12:12] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "We assume they use it in their ships, it's very durable."

[12:12] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: How do you mine the substance?

[12:12] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "RN74 power crystals?"

[12:12] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Apologies for speaking out of turn.

[12:12] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: that are at the center of so much of the technology of the LMC."

[12:12] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he perked up then*

[12:13] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yes... odd.  But I have no idea how to confirm or deny that, since everything i am reading says we don't know how they are constructed, or of what."

[12:13] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I wished to ask such as well."

[12:13] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "The Avynei do state that the crystals have 'souls' in them.  Meanwhile, this substance is created by processing people into a uniform organic compound that telepaths can apparently feel...

[12:13] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: acutely."

[12:14] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I think i'm going to be ill... I need a moment."

[12:14] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "The Apostates provided us with the tools needed for it when they first negotiated with us."

[12:14] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "The Apostates provided us with the tools needed for it when they first negotiated with us."

[12:14] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "Understood, Doctor."

[12:14] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: What was the nature of the species you made contact with, did they give you a name?

[12:15] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Gives Aquila a look.*

[12:16] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Only... 'The Chosen.'  They never spoke in their own language to us."

[12:16] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Your theory is backed up by data, my own ... a subconscious meandering that came to mind in my sleep.  Please understand, this is not my field, but could you pass on what you have to Jagoda and T'Gho

[12:16] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: T'Ghor to have them take a look as well?"

[12:17] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "I see. Approximately how long ago did you meet them?"

[12:17] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Gratitude for sating curiosity and quesiton in need of answer minister.

[12:17] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "Two carrier pigeons, away."

[12:18] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Not long after we first went to the stars, three centuries ago.  We try to limit our contact with them."

[12:18] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Goddess I.. I kinda hope we are both wrong.  That planet down there would be a ripe for conversion considering it's population density.  And, goddess... They said Xert was full of those crystals too"

[12:19] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods, looking at his PADD beeping.* "Would you excuse me having a read, this could be important?"

[12:19] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Of course, Lieutenant T'Ghor."

[12:19] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods gratefully*

[12:19] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Do you have any questions you stand to see answered minister? *he attempts small talk*

[12:20] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Of course.  You have the ability to appear out of thin air?"

[12:21] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yes, that is called a transporter. Lt Zorin our engineer could go into the details of how functions.

[12:21] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She checks once more on Arandak, then starts looking at the genetic markers of the blight. She knows it was engineered, but curious if it is just a faster or more powerful version of a thing natural*

[12:22] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Transporter... ah, yes, because it transports you.  How does it work?  Does it only transport people?"

[12:23] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: No actually, it first was invented to transport materiel and goods. Then simply biologicals and finally sentients. The exact mathetmatics and engineering is beyond my expertise but >

[12:23] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks to VayVay after reading the report, his look indicating that he has something important to talk about, possibly away from the beryxians.*

[12:23] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: it basically converts your matter to energy and then tranpsorts to another place and reconstitutes it.

[12:24] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "So it can change something into energy?  And put back together?  Does it have to be arranged in the same form it was originally?"

[12:25] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: With a transporter that is the goal. A sister technology called a replicator converts energy into other usable forms.

[12:25] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks over to li for aide*

[12:26] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The PADD is for me I take it." *Emotionlessly states and holds out her hand*

[12:26] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "So this replicator could, say, take a broken dish and reform it into an intact one?"

[12:26] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods and hands her the PADD.*

[12:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It could yes.

[12:27] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "It could also turn it into a bowl of ice cream."

[12:27] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Ice... cream?"

[12:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Or fashion clothing to specific pattern. *he pauses a moment* A culinary item.

[12:27] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Oh, you're in for a treat, let me tell you."

[12:28] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And while normally unhelathy with a replicator it would maintain the taste of ice cream while being nutrionally balanced.

[12:28] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "So you could eat a dessert as healthy as a salad?"

[12:28] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods some in confirmation as he steals more hors d'oeuvres from T'Pang during her bathroom break.*

[12:29] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yes. *he looked to gayle*

[12:29] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he nodded eagerly* No angry parents.

[12:29] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Amazing!  Why... if we had something like that, we wouldn't even need to have a separate colony to feed our world."

[12:30] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It... truly depends on its size and power."

[12:30] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "In order to feed a world your size, we would need quite a few industrially-sized ones."

[12:31] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Indeed. And the power requirements were stand immense. the Energy must come from somewhere.

[12:31] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Perhaps we could build them ourselves, if you showed us how?"  *She looked hopeful.*

[12:31] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Commander Gayle, For your information." *Offers the PADD to Gayle*

[12:31] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She raised a brow and took the PADD curiously.*

[12:32] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I believe so, but that is not up to myself to decide, due to my rank, I hope you understand."

[12:32] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Yes... of course.  We'll be open to negotiations, of course."

[12:32] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Besides, our ship is not quite enough to give you what you need right now, sadly, we have our limitations."

[12:33] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She frowned at the report, then nodded and handed it back.*

[12:34] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *eyes Zalithya a moment*

[12:34] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Took his PADD back from Gayle.*

[12:34] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *and glances at the report*

[12:35] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *he glanced briefly at his crewmates some before he went back to clearing his plate*

[12:35] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor was texting Dahlia something.*

[12:35] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well, with our Captain currently indisposed, perhaps we should return to our ship for the time being.  Our thanks for your incredible hospitality."

[12:35] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Representetive, May I request one thing prior to departure."

[12:35] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *then to t'ghor*

[12:35] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Of course."

[12:36] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dr Delancey writes up her notes on what she sees in the blight, continually marking points where it might be caused to break down with the right, switch...to simulate later after Arandak is handled.*

[12:36] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It would assist our endeveour to effectively aid your situation if we had complete acess to medical data of your species."

[12:37] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "I suppose we can send you some of our data."

[12:38] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Appriciated. It will enhance our efficiency."

[12:38] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Of course, will there be anything else?"

[12:39] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "A question, if I may?"

[12:39] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Yes?"

[12:39] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Do you have any technology that allows for -very- rapid decreases in air temperature in very short amounts of time?"

[12:40] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  *She blinked.*  "Like... air conditioning?"

[12:40] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Like that, but much more powerful?"

[12:40] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "Yes?  Why?"

[12:40] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I would suggest placing such technology in key places on this world and on your colonies. Cold stops the pores and the virus from spreading."

[12:41] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Spores*)

[12:41] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  *She raised a hand to her face, rubbing her nose briefly.*  "We'll take that into consideration."

[12:42] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.*

[12:42] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Alright, everyone, let's stop annoying the Speaker and head back home.  It was lovely meeting you, your homeworld is gorgeous."

[12:43] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *nods* As you command.

[12:43] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Yalire]  "I hope this is the beginning of a very fruitful partnership."

[12:43] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: Thank you for the delicious food. *he smiled*

[12:43] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "As do we."

[12:44] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Your hospitality has been generous." *Bows her head politely*

[12:44] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As our heroes got their last bites of the hors d'oeuvres in and beamed back to the ship, the credits started to roll as the episode became one of those social things.*

[12:44] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Very much so. And your world and culture are gorgeous, I hope we can help safeguard them."

[12:45] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *stepped of the transporter padd*

[12:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well, that was... something."

[12:45] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: T'ghor what stood revelation mid conversation?

[12:45] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Very much so."

[12:45] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It was unique.

[12:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Oh, Veracysium is fossilised Red Blight."

[12:46] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It was unique.

[12:46] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Gayle's worlds.* "Possibly so. Not 100% sure yet. I wil lget out of this outfit and head down to the labs to run some tests with jagoda on it."

[12:47] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Really. Well. That is most unfortunate. And does potentially explain why a population under Dark Subjugation is allowed to grow unmolested for prolonged periods of time.

[12:47] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If it proves true.

[12:47] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Finishing a set of notes to start another simulation... she checks on Arandak's cellular scans again...*

[12:47] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes. This world down tere is a potential giant deposit of Veracysium in a few million years."

[12:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Explains the massive pockets of it underground on the Irushey world, if it was once a world-spanning mass that ate a whole species."

[12:48] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Which is really nothing for the Dark."

[12:48] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Gayle.* "Quite so."

[12:48] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you Doctor McCoy, I appreciate you running with your ideas like that.  I bet you have more than two a year."

[12:48] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps we should see if we can analyze their mining tools.

[12:48] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "Limits of my programming."

[12:48] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: But take care not to trip any sensors.

[12:49] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Picks up a PADD from inside her jacket and sends and update*

[12:49] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I believe they would not be too different than the IRushey's."

[12:49] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yes but analysis was cut short by attack.

[12:49] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm a dabbler in the science, but I somehow think your limitations are more system than self."

[12:49] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That is also true. I believe we should ask to scan the mining equipment in exchange for some gesture of our own at a later point."

[12:50] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Mh.  Anyway, you're all dismissed, go about your business until next watch."

[12:51] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She turned and strolled right out.*

[12:51] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *nods* I do believe it is rather odd that they held a dynastic monarchy for as long as they did. Before rapidlly falling to democracy.

[12:51] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Headed for a quick change of clothes, then down into the labs.*

[12:51] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Please, we were talking to a politician.  She was definitely trying to polish it."

[12:52] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Of course that is the game of politics.

[12:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "You notice that bit at the beginning?  We met their their 'Party of Virtue,' not their Prime Minister.  They're playing that game hard."

[12:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *with their ))

[12:53] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Indeed. They wish to present the best version of themselves.

[12:53] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Follows gayle* "Commander?"

[12:53] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She glanced over*  "Yeah?"

[12:53] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Walks into the lab.* "Jagoda. Did you get the news?"

[12:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Of course I did!"

[12:54] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *his head swiveled to and from everyone as they spoke*

[12:54] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If we speak to the seperatist I am sure. They will tell a much different story of the transference of power.

[12:54] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So? How's it sound to you, did you do anything with the data yet?"

[12:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "I'm working on it..."

[12:54] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Went over to check Jagoda's progress and help if he could.*

[12:55] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Did you observe the food."

[12:55] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...What?  Of course I did."

[12:55] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Understood."

[12:55] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nods to rhys* =^= Delta Tactical , stand down we are back aboard.

[12:56] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *she gave her an odd look and kept going.*

[12:59] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *walked through the hallway of the ship*

[12:59] [DOIC5] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Takes the turbolift to the bridge*

[1:00] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *enters his quarters and removes his uniform*

[1:00] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer, begin letter. Addressed to My mother for delivery in next packet.

[1:02] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Mother, I have given thought to Pompeius most insulting propositions of holding old ways over our heads. If we truly are to live in a new roma, Antonia's happiness cannot bargained. If her and Gnaeus>

[1:02] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li has made his way back to his quarters.*

[1:04] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Truly stand in love, we must make it possible for that to stand realized absent over reaching hand of father. Tell him, if wishes to honor the old ways. We shall honor them. With blood and sand >

[1:04] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: On the solstice. That is what he truly desires. Your Son.

[1:04] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer send message on next cycle.

[1:05] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he picks up the blade and oils it*

[1:09] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he places the blade back on its stand*

[1:11] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Munched on a bagel as he set down a coffee for Jagoda at the side of his console, sipping his own.*

[1:11] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer, run analysis, Apostate Race known as the Chosen.

[1:11] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Jill was lain out on the couch, snoozing with a baby in a T-rex onesie on her chest.*

[1:12] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "No files found."

[1:12] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *i chuckles, quietly taking a seat on the couch.*

[1:13] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He was buries in his work, running analyses like there was no tomorrow.*

[1:13] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  *She stretched her legs somewhat, kicking Li's thigh in her sleep.*

[1:14] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *frowns* I suppose it stood long shot.

[1:14] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li makes a face, quietly picking the baby up and placing him in his lap.*

[1:15] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Azreyane stand Fallen. *pours himself some wine*

[1:15] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Jill murmured something and rolled over onto her side as Adrian was taken from her arms.*

[1:15] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer which race is seen as primarch fo apostate races by current intelligence.

[1:15] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "Unknown."

[1:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor is leaned over, next to Jagoda, looking at the screen with a thoughtful expression, a small vein in his forehead visible despite the ridges.* "Drink. I do not want you to burn yourself out >+

[1:16] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "For te next shift."

[1:16] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li watches her curiously as he holds Adrian.*

[1:16] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We stand fighting this enemy for years yet still know so little.

[1:16] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Yes, mama."

[1:16] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Good boy."

[1:16] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  *The infant opened his eyes slowly, looking up at Li and then starting to cry.*

[1:17] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer are we receiving any signals from the planet. Local news broadcasts. Radio, subspace net transmissions?

[1:17] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "Seven thousand six hundred and twenty are being simultaneously broadcast from Beryxia at this time."

[1:18] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Do me a favour, will you?"

[1:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "yeah?"

[1:18] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks down in a slight panic, trying to gently rock him back and forth.*

[1:19] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "While testing, run a test for any signs of temporal interference on all pieces of veracysium we have. I suspect the Dark may eradicate worlds and then try to speed up the aging and cmpression cycle >

[1:19] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Artificially."

[1:19] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So it does not take millions of years for the blight to turn into veracysium."

[1:19] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  *As he was rocked he started to calm down somewhat, hiccupping on his own sob.*

[1:19] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer refine search. Seperatists, display news footage.

[1:19] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "I'll keep it in mind, boss."

[1:20] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps recent, in the last several days.

[1:20] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks." *He kept watching the data coming in, in case he could make anything out of the whole mess.*

[1:20] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Several selections were displayed before him on his wall panel.*

[1:20] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Begin first broadcast.

[1:21] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Walks in to sickbay and buzzes the door to the doctors office*

[1:21] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks relieved.*

[1:22] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *An attractive Beryxian woman in a red dress was on the screen.*  "A candlelight vigil for Representative Charya Murax was held today in downtown district 233.  It's been one month now since the...

[1:22] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Looking up from a bank of screens and a computer terminal she writes on* "Hello Lieutenant, come in."

[1:23] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Emotionlessly marches inside and offers a PADD to the doctor*

[1:23] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: Representative was savagely kidnapped by members of the separatists, and when their demands for her safe return were not met, she was found dead outside of party headquarters, the lastest in a...

[1:24] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: savage and vicious cycle of attacks carried out and claimed by the Syrixan separatists."

[1:24] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Taking the PADD with curiousity, she looks it over.*

[1:24] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Woman]  "As of yet one of her assailants has been identified and taken into police custody, the authorities have not yet released their details."

[1:26] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he sips the wine* Curious. They chose not to bend to ransom.

[1:26] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you." *she checks to make sure the data was moved to main computer.*

[1:26] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer play next selection

[1:26] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I appreciate you having this done."

[1:26] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It has also been sent to the Citadel, The Enigma and the Camberra. Ma'am."

[1:26] [DOIC2] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrinstepped inside his quarters after his successful raid on the kitchen. Setting down the free dessert at the tiny table before he slowly and neatly began to put his dress uniform away*

[1:27] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Efficient. And, how are you?"

[1:27] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I am opperating within expected parameters."

[1:27] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer while playing cross reference Representative Charya Murax, politcal leanings party affiliation.

[1:28] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A Beryxian man in a suit was on screen.*  "It's now been six months since the nightfall curfew was implemented, and Police Chief Jyran has reported that crime in the fiftieth district has fallen...

[1:29] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: dramatically.  However, he has yet to apprehend any known or suspected members of the Syrixan separatist group with this new policy."

[1:29] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Good to know you are in good health.  And, how are you?"

[1:30] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  *He wobbled some, grabbing for Li's nose with his clumsy, chubby hands.*

[1:30] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I answered that, ma'am?"

[1:30] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Freedom traded for security. A common refrain.

[1:30] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li scruntches his nose in response.*

[1:31] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  *he laughed gleefully, sticking a finger up Li's nose.*

[1:31] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I assume theories were shared with you.  When I saw the data, I had to fight being physically ill.  Do you not have an emotional reaction to all you saw in the last few days?"

[1:31] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he sipped his wine* Computer next selection.

[1:33] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "My emotional reaction to it would be inefficient."

[1:33] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li lifts his head up.*

[1:33] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he fetches a snack of dates from the replicator having not eaten on the planet*

[1:33] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The woman from the first selection appeared.*  "The southern transit system, shut down nearly a year ago by the Syrixan separatist movement, is set to reopen next week with Transit Director Sysher...

[1:34] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Regardless of efficiency, you still have emotions.  You are allowed to express them, remember, this is a safe place to do so. And someone who will listen."

[1:34] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she gestures to herself*

[1:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: promising 'a Peace officer on every compartment.'  Still, preorders of transit passes is at an all time-low following concerns that this just may not be enough."

[1:35] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A welcomed police state.

[1:35] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I have chosen to detach it to as large extent as able to. The mission will not benefit from them affecting me, I will sort them upon our missions completion."

[1:35] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  *He giggled, pulling at Li's lip instead.*

[1:35] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer when was the last election?

[1:35] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "Unknown."

[1:36] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ow!

[1:36] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  *he laughed even harder at the funny noise.*

[1:37] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: New search. Broadcasts with words Syraxian, Freedom, Opposition, Parliment. Cospiracy.

[1:37] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I will expect you for tea after the mission then Vaylith. I'll clear my schedule."

[1:37] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Everyone has their own propaganda let us see how free they truly stand.

[1:37] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Did you have any unreported concerns or thoughts you would like to share?"

[1:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A video started playing automatically of an obese Beryxian man bellowing into the microphone.*  "WAKE UP, PEOPLE!  THE ROYALISTS ARE EATING BABIES AND PRAYING TO THE ELDER GODS!  You think they and..

[1:38] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I have a request for an alteration to a classified section of my medical file."

[1:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: the separatists aren't one and the same?!  IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY TO TAKE AWAY YOUR VOTES NOW THAT THEY HAVE YOU LULLED INTO A SENSE OF SECURITY!"

[1:39] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Owww

[1:40] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Intriguing.

[1:40] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  *He then reached for Li's earring.*

[1:40] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "What is your request?"

[1:40] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Computer results of search on Representative Murax?

[1:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "Multiple results found."

[1:41] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "An unseen alteration to the field NOK. Only visseble in case of emergency. and... no question to the change, or reasons."

[1:41] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Display first record.

[1:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A short news clip played about the young Representative taking office ten years ago.*

[1:42] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Please explain in greater detail... what is the alteration?

[1:42] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Next record.

[1:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The next news clip showed the Representative helping open a school for underprivilidged musicians.*

[1:43] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A noble politician perhaps.

[1:44] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he issues the command to play them back to back*

[1:44] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li jerks his head up. That wa over the line.*

[1:44] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I request a data entery is done to the herarchy of the field NOK. Without questions, nor it ever being mentioned outside of this room. it to only be present for a state of my own incapacitation."

[1:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Hours' worth of clips played of the representative campaigning for programs for the poor and disenfranchised, until finally a clip played of the school she had opened in the second clip having been..

[1:45] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "of course, everything about your file is classified, no one on the ship has access but me."

[1:46] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: targetted by a separatist bomber.  She was seen giving an impassioned and clearly furious speech in front of the rubble, condemning the separatists with dignified eloquence.*

[1:46] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Picks up a PADD, holds it for a few moments as she detached observes it, then does the formal proceeding of signing it, and handing it to the doctor*

[1:46] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  *He frowned as he couldn't reach, and started crying again.*

[1:47] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sighs.*

[1:47] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  *She began to stir.*  "Mmh..?"

[1:48] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That makes an odd target. Computer anything on record of the Representive showing seperatist sympathies before the bombing.

[1:48] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Alright, consider it entered.  Why now?  Did this just arrise?"

[1:48] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sorry.

[1:48] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "Negative."

[1:48] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: What were the demands for her release?

[1:48] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  "Hmwhat..."  *She sat up.*

[1:48] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "Analysing files."

[1:49] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  "Demands listed as immediate release of Syrixa from Beryxian control."

[1:50] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "No. You where distracted when the topic arose."

[1:50] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That makes very little sense.

[1:50] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think he woke you up.

[1:50] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Computer]  *Had no response.*

[1:51] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jill]  "you think..."  *She gave a slight smirk, reaching over to pick up the crying baby.*  "There, there.  Was daddy mean to you?"

[1:51] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Adrian]  "Waaaaaaaugh!"

[1:51] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A terrorist organizaiton captures for immediate gain, the release of colleagues from detention, the lifting of security measures from a region or even the ransoming of currency. They do not henge

[1:51] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she sighs and stand* "Vaylith, I am sorry that I seemed so distracted that you felt you could not come to me.  You do not have anyone else that you can officially call on.  By all means, if you are

[1:51] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: a demand on somehting so expendable.

[1:52] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Not if they wish to see it met.

[1:52] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *taps his cup*

[1:52] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: needing to discuss something,anything... I will make time unless it is or life and death situation for someone else requiring my aid."

[1:52] [DOIC4] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Your status made it a situation where it was not in my interest to engage the topic."
