[8:51] [Admin] Map Transfer Failed

[8:53] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREKL PROTECTOR theme begins to play...*

[8:54] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The camera pans around Deep Space Nine, the ship still docked as the Gratitude Festival is in full swing on the station. There is a notable absence of a captain's log as the episode begins...*

[8:54] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *GO*

[8:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara is at the bar at Quarks, drinking a Bajoran ale.*

[8:56] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar peruses the finely crafted sweaters at the tailor shop.*

[8:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara is chatting with a young Ensign  with a red stripe on his uniform who Erys would recognize.*

[8:59] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *meandered into the tailor shop, looking around curiously at what they had to offer.*

[9:00] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *Tolar is looking very intently at... a slightly deeper purple sweater!*

[9:00] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] The Gratitude Festival is an excuse to party a lot if you ask me...

[9:01] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Scoots over as she spots Tolar. She peers over his shoulder and smiles.* You know, purple does look nice on you, but you should try something more fun once in awhile.

[9:01] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: Erys is talking to a Lurian at the corner of the bar.   Morn was doing most of the talking.

[9:01] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The gamblers around Ezri have developed a begruding respect for the Trill as she has spent more time at Quarks.*

[9:01] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --focuses on computing probabilities--

[9:02] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I enjoy a conservative attire."

[9:02] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Have you ever tried anything different before?

[9:02] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "It doesn't distract from my naturally good aesthetics."

[9:02] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *chuckles*

[9:02] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Tuxedos."

[9:03] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she quickly mentally counts her latinum.--

[9:03] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: What about that? *She motioned to an outfit that was very bajoran styled and in a bright red.*

[9:03] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] I don't see the problem with that.

[9:04] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *picks up a glass and takes a sip, nodding in response to something Morn had apparently said*

[9:05] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *He replies to her by simply staring at her with a blank expression.*

[9:05] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *chuckles* oh just try it for fun!

[9:06] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can have plenty of fun without deafening the station's residents with a loud sweater."

[9:07] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: It's not technically a sweater though..

[9:07] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Smiles brightly at him*

[9:07] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As Cat walks around the station she observes a jovial mood throughout, in stark contrast to the mood on the station when they arrived.*

[9:07] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *Damian slowly exits the quarters of a certain waitress and whistles his way to the promenade*

[9:08] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "The point remains."

[9:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I didn't say there was one. *Kara smirks at him and sips her ale.*

[9:08] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks at the board intently focused, so far it has been hitting pretty well, but that can change any moment.--

[9:08] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: alright well what about that? *she motioned to a fancy dark navy blue tux*

[9:09] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The other gamblers eye Ezri intently, waiting to respond to her move.*

[9:09] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not my color, but if it will amuse you..."

[9:10] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *nods*

[9:10] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason sighs in frustration and looks around the bar. When he spots Erys he spots dead in his tracks and immediately turns back to the bar, asking for another drink.*

[9:11] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian slaps the back of Jason and winks over at Kara* Awkward moment?

[9:11] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles some at the much better mood of the place now, sitting on the floor on the promenade resting her back up against the wall-

[9:11] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: *A few moments later, Tolar emerges from a fitting room in a tuxedo.*

[9:12] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *Erys takes another sip, nodding again at something Morn had appparently said.  Her response is lost to the crowd.

[9:13] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara turns to Damian and walks over.* And just where have you been?

[9:13] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A man in robes approaches Cat.*

[9:14] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He lets his hand fall from Jason's back and looks down at her* What do you mean?

[9:14] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks up at the man- Hello?

[9:15] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I haven't seen you!

[9:16] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] Greetings.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Are you not satisfied?"

[9:16] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Gambler] Are waiting all night here?

[9:16] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Waiting for what?"

[9:16] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Can I help you? -she'd tilt her head slightly-

[9:17] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He chuckles* I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention.

[9:18] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] No. *He bows to her.* You and your crew have served Bajor well, Miss MacFarlane.

[9:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Gambler #2] A bet!

[9:19] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods to the Dabo girl-- "Let my last bet ride."

[9:19] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Where have you been?

[9:20] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Blinks- You-you know my name? -she then shakes her head and gets up, bowing back-

[9:20] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I don't know HOW you think that isn't your color! You look fabulous.

[9:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dabo girl] You got it! *She excitedly spins the wheel.*

[9:21] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Purple is the color of royalty."

[9:21] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] Your arrival was fortold to us.

[9:21] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *in a hushed voice* I was pranking others all night long with a couple of dudes.

[9:21] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: *Chuckles* Aahh I see. well that's only true in certain cultures.

[9:22] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: The prophets fortold the arrival of the Protector?

[9:22] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The wheel spins and stops, with Ezri winning this one by a slight margin. The other gamblers grumble a bit but aren't overly upset.*

[9:22] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] Yes...to save Bajor from those who would cheat the game.

[9:23] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's universal when I model it."

[9:23] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: You should give that a go. Go on a date and see what kind of response you get.

[9:23] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara eyes him for a moment, then nods and smirks.* How did it go?

[9:23] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she yawns and look around the bar bleary eyed from having spend such a long time playing Dabo--

[9:23] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Oh, I see. Do they fortell many things?

[9:24] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she collects up her winnings and head out toward the bar to get a drink.--

[9:24] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: There /might/ be a couple of angry people searching the station..

[9:24] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "Unfortunately, the Captain is busy with command briefings."

[9:25] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Like that Klingon?

[9:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Like that Klingon?

[9:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason keeps drinking and does his best to avoid looking over at Erys.*

[9:25] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *His snaps his head from side to side before eyeing Kara again* Where?

[9:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara giggles.* I was talking about what happened before...

[9:25] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Hrmm, well then we should just get all gussied up and have a fancy meal. make an odd night of it.

[9:26] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "What did you have in mind?"

[9:26] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] What can I get ya? *to Ezri.*

[9:26] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He lets out a sigh of relief* Oh whew.. Um.. Sure?

[9:26] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she taps on the bar to get the bartenders attention.-- "A sparkling water with milaberry juice in it."

[9:26] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] Coming right now.

[9:27] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *up

[9:27] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: Not sure really.. Maybe just make it up on the fly as we go.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Tolar@Starboard_Nacelle: "I have an idea."

[9:27] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: I know there's a lot of celebrations going on so i'm sure there's something to be had

[9:27] [DOIC1] Amalia@Mouse43dz: oh?

[9:28] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she waits on the drink, tapping impatiently on the bar.--

[9:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A tall Betazoid male walks up next to Ezri, dressed as a Ensign in the Sciences. He orders a Jestral tea.*

[9:28] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *glances over at the growing crowd  at the other end of the bar.  She looks back to Morn as he continues speaking*

[9:28] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] When they deem it necessary, yes.

[9:30] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --as the drink is placed before her she picks it up and takes a sip.--

[9:30] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Interesting. -she smiles-

[9:30] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Hadron serves them both and the Betazoid takes a sip of the tea.*

[9:30] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He eyes Jason* You good dude?

[9:30] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Uhhh...yeah. *He finishes off another glass.*

[9:31] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Liar.. *he looks over at Hadron* I'll have what she's having. *He jerks his head at kara*

[9:32] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Betazoid] And I thought I was the only one here who wasn't drinking something with synthehol...

[9:32] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Woadie nods and provides Damian with a Bajoran Ale.*

[9:33] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she glances at the Betazoid.-- "Is that important?"

[9:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] We offer you thanks for this service.

[9:33] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Thanks. *he eyea Jason again* You sure? You seem like a fish out of water..

[9:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason groans and takes another sip.* I'd rather not talk about it...

[9:34] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *Finishes off her drink and motions to Woadie for a refill*

[9:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Woadie nods and walks over to Erys to provide her with another drink.*

[9:34] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at the man and gets a good look at him, she suddenly look a little nervous and takes a step away from him.--

[9:34] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Nods at him- We are glad that we could be of service.

[9:34] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Betazoid] Not that important...is there something wrong?

[9:35] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I'm just putting a safe distance between us."

[9:35] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Betazoid] Uhhhh...okay.

[9:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Betazoid] Uhhhh...okay.

[9:35] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns her attention back to her drink."

[9:36] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] Is there anything we can do for you?

[9:36] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: I don'a believe so. -smiles-

[9:36] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason eyes Woadie briefly and then Erys, and immediately takes another drink.*

[9:37] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Man] Very well...may you walk with the Prophets.

[9:38] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he cast a glance over to where Jason looked at* Ohhhh.. Shit dude? Are you serious?

[9:38] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason gives him a look and puts a finger to his lips.*

[9:38] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *nods to Woadie and takes a sip to confirm that the drink is what she's expecting.*

[9:39] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Betazoid]...you don't know who I am, do you?

[9:39] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she takes a sip of her drink. glances at the Betazoid.--

[9:39] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He eyes Jason with mild shock* No fucking way.

[9:40] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Mar sin leat.

[9:40] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "No. I don't know you. Which begs the question as to why you are pestering me."

[9:40] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The man bows and walks off.*

[9:41] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He slightly punches his arm* Atta boy!

[9:41] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Betazoid] Ensign Dal Grax...I...was the Alpha watch officer assigned to Science on the Protector.

[9:41] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Sits back down where she was-

[9:41] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason just sighs and drinks more.*

[9:42] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He raises a brow* Uh.. No atta boy?

[9:42] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cat can see several children playing together on the Promenade, including the one she met before.*

[9:42] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks over at the children, noticing the one she met before and smiles-

[9:43] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *They all wave at Cat as one of them excitedly waves and starts to tell the others about the nice lady who helped him find his parents.*

[9:43] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Returns the wave-

[9:43] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --She nods.-- "Oh well then you must be responsible for the sorry condition the sensor array alignment was in."

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] It's complicated. We haven't really spoke since we ummm...met on the starbase.

[9:44] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax]...excuse me?

[9:44] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *Pats Morn's arm with a smile, then turns and walks toward the door.  As she passes by Dalby, Heath, and Damian, she suddenly stops and looks at Heath's back.*  Something you need, Ensign?

[9:45] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian puts on a straight face and eyes them both*

[9:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Heath's eyes go wide at the sound of Erys' voice, turning around.* Ummm...hello...ma'am.

[9:45] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "The odd channel frequency alignment was off by 2 whole degrees."

[9:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Grax shakes his head.* They checked and doublechecked that stuff on the starbase before we left port...

[9:46] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she gives him a look-- "And you trusted those idiots?"

[9:46] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *eyes the Ensign up and down*  You've been staring at me all night. Do you need something or not?

[9:47] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A young Starfleet Ensign plops down a few feet from Cat, looking frustrated.*

[9:47] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "You know what they say, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself."

[9:47] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks across to the Ensign- Are you alrigh'? -she looks concerned-

[9:47] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he eyes Jason now*

[9:47] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Ye-errrr....no...ma'am...I was just...surprised to see you again.

[9:48] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] This has been a disaster...

[9:48] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: Again?  Have we met?

[9:48] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian's eyes go a bit wide now*

[9:48] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: How so?

[9:48] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason's cheeks are red now.* Ummm...Starbase 220...ma'am.

[9:49] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *shrugs*  I guess it's possible.  There's a lot of people on the starbase.

[9:49] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] We umm...used that holodeck sparring program...

[9:50] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Well...it was their job...

[9:50] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --She turns and gives the Betazoid a stern look.-- "Well Ensign Dal Grax, since we apparently will be working together, I have to make this clear up front. I wont tolerate any of that mind reading >

[9:50] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *nods*  Right...  I use that program a lot.

[9:50] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian nerviously runs a hand through his hair. for Jason's sake*

[9:50] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: crap. is that clear?"

[9:51] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal blinks.* Ma'am...I don't ever read a fellow crew member...without their consent.

[9:51] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] And then...ummmm...the evening together, m-ma'am.

[9:51] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns back to her drink-- "I don't need people picking through my private thoughts like it a god damn yard sale."

[9:52] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Well, you know that ship that came in, right? The Vigilant class?

[9:52] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "That's good, keep that freaky stuff to yourself."\

[9:52] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *looks at Dalby, then Damian*  How long has he been telling this story?

[9:52] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax]...with respect...don't you think that's a bit unprofessional?

[9:53] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "That is my point it is totally unprofessional."

[9:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] First I've heard of it.

[9:53] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Aye, I know it.. the Protector.

[9:53] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He merely shrugs* I think he's had too much to drink.

[9:53] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: You know how us guys are when we go overboard.

[9:54] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *focuses on Heath once more as she levels a finger at his chest*  Stop telling people you spent the night with me.

[9:54] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason blinks.* I...ummm...y-yes ma'am.

[9:55] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Don't worry ma'am I already plan on cutting him off for the night. *He nods*

[9:55] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Well they came into Ops...the senior staff...and that Vulcan...

[9:55] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: And tha' is a problem because? -she tilts her head some-

[9:55] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] I mean referring to a cultural practice of my people as 'freaky stuff'.

[9:55] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] I mean referring to a cultural practice of my people as 'freaky stuff'.

[9:56] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *looks between Dalby and Damian*  If he does tell anyone else, you have my permission to lock him in his quarters.  If Tibs objects, send him to me.

[9:56] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He nods all serious like to her* Understood.

[9:56] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks offended.-- "It is what it is."

[9:57] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] I had never seen a Vulcan like her before...

[9:57] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *smiles and hands each of them a slip of latinum*  Good.  Your next drink is on me.

[9:57] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Mhm, quite unorthadox, aye...

[9:57] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian eyes the slip before cautiously taking it* Uhm. Thanks?

[9:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason looks despondant as he turns back to take another drink.*

[9:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Well...nice to meet you too.

[9:59] [DOIC2] Erys@Cuatela: *nods to Damian as she turns to continue out the door*

[9:59] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well thank you."

[9:59] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] And then...I met this guy and...*he eyes Cat.*...wait a second...I recognize you..

[9:59] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He eyes her as she leaves, waiting for her to get out of earshot before turning to face him* Bro.. What the fuck.

[10:00] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: You do?

[10:00] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason closes his eyes and sighs in frustration.*

[10:00] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *He then leaves his drink and exits the bar after Erys.*

[10:00] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he eyes him again as he leaves* What is going on..

[10:01] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Beats me.

[10:01] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Yeah...I got like...really drunk...it's kinda hazy..

[10:02] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Oh.. Yao? -she bites her lip, starting to go slightly red-

[10:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Heath walks after Erys outside of Quarks.*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *Erys was leaning against the wall next to the turbolift door, watching Quarks*

[10:03] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Ensign nods.* And...I found myself when I woke up...in one of the Protector's quarters!

[10:03] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He turns to face Kara now* I don't know who that was.. But that wasn't the Jason I know..

[10:03] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Turns a deeper shade of red-

[10:03] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Do you enjoy torturing me?

[10:04] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] So I had to explain why I wasn't at my shift...and I got a reprimand. *He buries his head in his hands.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *Erys smirks and folds her arms under her chest*   Yes.

[10:04] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she sighs.-- "Is it just me or is this festival really boring?" --she grumbles-- "Oh thank the prophets!" --she says in a sarcastic voice.--

[10:04] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Thank the prophets for what exactly?"

[10:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Drinking, gambling, revelry...

[10:04] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks at him guiltily- Sorry.

[10:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Why?

[10:05] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Sorry? For what?

[10:05] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I guess. But, they can do that any day it isn't like you really need an excuse."

[10:05] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: Why not?

[10:05] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] I think he really believed what he was saying...that was the weirdest bit.

[10:06] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I never doubted him..

[10:06] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Gnaws on her lip harder- Well I may have been under the influence of alcohol and may uh of helped in beaming you over.

[10:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] I either look like a crazy person or the biggest creep imaginable in front of my crewmates.

[10:06] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Hadron-- "So where does one find the real action on this station?"

[10:07] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Oh. *He doesn't seem mad, just disappointed.* I shouldn't have been out that long. *He moves over closer to Cat.* I don't blame you, I blame myself.

[10:07] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Oh don't blame yourself hon... Dominick is a asshole.

[10:07] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: Yeah?  Imagine how it makes me look if your story turns out to be true?

[10:07] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Wha? I thought you two were...

[10:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Uhhh...how?

[10:08] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: A Starship captain having a one night stand with a freshly graduated ensign.   What would you think?

[10:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] We have gambling, holosuites, alcohol...pick your poison.

[10:09] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -looks at Yao reminscantly- He is cute... funny... perfect... but - an asshole.

[10:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] We are consenting adults...

[10:09] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she rolls her eyes at Hadron-- "Borrrring!"

[10:09] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: Bullshit.  You were drunk off your ass that night, and you know it.

[10:09] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Perfect..but an asshole? How is that possible?

[10:10] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --She looks at Grax-- "What I would really like to do is get a better look at that tech we recovered around bajor. But, they won't let me into examine it."

[10:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] And just as desperate as you were.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *glances at a group of people as they pass by, then reaches out and grabs Heath's arm, pulling him into the turbolift.*   Habitat, Section 15.

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason allows her to do so, raising both eyebrows.*

[10:11] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Why not?

[10:11] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I don't know some crap about security clearances."

[10:12] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Kinda bizarre that she never actually denied what he said...just made sure he never repeated it.

[10:12] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Well... perfect at a glance I guess, or at least that's what I thought. -she sneers- Until you realize he just fucks everything that moves and has the emotional capability of a horse.

[10:12] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: Look, I'm serious.  I've been court martialed before because of shit like this, and it's not fun.  Is that what you want?

[10:12] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Apparently I am not 'need to know'."

[10:12] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign]...oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

[10:12] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Is that idiotic or what?"

[10:13] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He nods and smirks at her* Oh I believe him.. I just tried bailing him out.

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Of course I don't want a court martial. If you want me to shut up about what happened, I'll shut up.

[10:13] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I need to buy that man a drink later.. Because that does not happen like at all.

[10:13] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] What do you mean?

[10:14] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she sets her empty glass on the counter.-- "another one Hadron."

[10:14] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: Yeah I want you to shut up about it.  I don't like my life shared around like a bed time story, okay?

[10:14] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] I'm sure we can get that cleared up...probably because you just arrived.

[10:14] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Extra bubbles this time."

[10:14] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Uh... I'm not. I hope some day it comes and stabs him in the chest.

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] I didn't even say anything...Damian just picked up on my body language cues.

[10:15] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Hadron nods and turns back to refill her drink.*

[10:15] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *rolls her eyes*  And I'm sure you held out under that excrutiating torture, right?

[10:15] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] I meant...sorry for you...you clearly thought more of your time together than he did.

[10:15] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she seems to be thinking heavily.-- "You know it wouldn't be that hard to override the cargo bay security systems...but, the guards would be a problem."

[10:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] I didn't really think about the implications. I just saw you and...well I wasn't expecting it.

[10:16] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax]...easy? Seriously?

[10:16] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she considers Grax for several moments.--

[10:17] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Sighs- Aye -then smiles- Sorry again about the whole reprimand thing.

[10:17] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Maybe you could distract them."

[10:17] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Yeah...I'll get over it...once they see my work I doubt they'll even think about it.

[10:17] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *steps through the lift doors as they open*  Don't flatter yourself, Jason.  I didn't even know you were on the Protector.

[10:17] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He shrugs* Oh I dunno.. *A small smirk escapes him*

[10:18] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Good at your job huh?

[10:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] I wasn't suggesting that you were after me...it was just...awkward, you know?

[10:18] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] I wasn't suggesting that you were after me...it was just...awkward, you know?

[10:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] What are you up to?

[10:19] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Distract them? Why don't we just request clearance?

[10:19] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He points at the door* I uh.. forgot something back in my quarters here.. I'm going to get that real quick.

[10:19] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Where is the fun in that. Besides if they say know then we will have tipped our hand."

[10:19] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara eyes him skeptically.* Right.

[10:19] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *keys in her code to unlock the door and looks at Heath as the door opens.  She steps inside, leaving the door open for a few inviting seconds*

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Heath follows her and steps through the door, speaking softly.* Once more unto the breach...

[10:20] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He rolls his eyes and his voice is loaded with sarcasm* Oh yeah.. I'm going to ditch you and have some fun with another girl.

[10:21] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *all but jumps him as the door closes, speaking in between kisses*  Shut up.   This is the last time, okay?

[10:21] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax]...you're suggesting violating Starfleet regulations...for fun?

[10:21] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Wow, you put it that way it sounds bad."

[10:21] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jason responds in kind.* Right...and I never speak of this evening again. *He smirks as they make out.*

[10:22] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] WHAT?!?

[10:22] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He shakes his head* Damn Kara.. Its a joke!

[10:22] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *makes quick work of his uniform*  Better not, or I'll have your pip.

[10:22] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she sighs and turns toward her drink again, taking a long drink--

[10:23] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He slowly backtracks for the door* But on a serious note.. I really need to head back. See ya! *he dips out in a hurry*

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Heath] Can't argue with that...ma'am

[10:23] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara eyes him suspiciouslly as he leaves, looking upset.*

[10:23] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she sets her gass down and off to the side and leans on the bar, eyeing Hadron expectantly.--

[10:24] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "So again what does a Trill have to do to find some advanture aroudn here."

[10:24] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "?"

[10:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] Well, there's always Bajor.

[10:25] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "What the hell is on Bajor. I don't want to go to temple."

[10:25] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *drags Heath down onto the bed*   Computer... lights out.

[10:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The room is now pitch black.*

[10:25] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Ensign] Yeah...I do my best.

[10:26] [DOIC1] Erys@Cuatela: *the audio fades out with the lights*

[10:26] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles- Yer best is all you can do

[10:27] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] The entire planet is not a temple.

[10:28] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shakes her head.-- "Yeah, any recommendations?"

[10:28] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *He leans his head against Cat's shoulder.* I always give my best...

[10:29] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] The Eastern Province...I heard an officer once compare it to an ancient Earth fable.

[10:30] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] Garden of...something.

[10:30] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Rests her head ontop of his- Well maybe not at drinking.

[10:31] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she considers Hadron's suggestions-- "is it dangerous?"

[10:31] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao chuckles.* Maybe I should lay off that for a while...

[10:32] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] Not at all. There's lush, green valleys covered in flora and hundres of small bodies of water, all connected by waterfalls.

[10:33] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Giggles- Yes, yes you should. Especially that vile tequila stuff.

[10:33] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao laughs and reaches up to touch her cheek.*

[10:33] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns-- "Well that sounds boring. Would I at least have to sneak in?"

[10:35] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron]...no...the only real offlimits areas on Bajor are the capital buildings...the Vedek Assembly...and the Fire Caves.

[10:36] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she seems to perk up at the mention of Fire caves.-- "oh Fire caves, what is that?"

[10:37] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Hadron has a look around before leaning in close to reply.* They're this ancient religious area...the Bajorans say the Pah-wraiths were imprisoned there by the Prophets.

[10:38] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks down at him flushing-

[10:38] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --She leans in-- "really? Is that made up, or is it real?"

[10:38] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao looks up at her.* Ummm...sorry...I didn't mean to umm...make you uncomfortable.

[10:39] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] It's their religion..but I can tell you what's real...you know who Benjamin Sisko was?

[10:40] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Tucks some hair behind her ear- It's... okay. -she smiles and puts her hand on his-

[10:40] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she thinks for a moment-- "Um yeah Starfleet captain. Historical figure. Big deal in the Dominion wars.

[10:41] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao nods and moves his other hand around her waist. He looks super nervous.*

[10:42] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] And at the end of the war...he vanished. Legend says it happened in the fire caves.

[10:42] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she has a look of facination on her face. She rubs her chin.-- "Is the cave hard to get to?"

[10:43] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Shuffles in closer to him, her thumb stroking the back of his hand gently, she speaks softly- Don't be nervous, Yao.

[10:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] Not particularly. However there are areas deeper inside the cave that are offlimits to those without prior approval.

[10:45] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Off limits? How do they keep people out?"

[10:45] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao nods and looks up at her.* I would never do that to you...

[10:46] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: I know you wouldn't. -she smiles- You're too kind hearted and sweet.

[10:46] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] Most groups have a Bajoran tour guide assigned to them. Those who don't are informed of the rules prior to entering. They may have set up guards after the terrorist incident, though.

[10:47] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Terrorists?"

[10:47] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao's cheeks are flushed at this.* I...thank you...

[10:48] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] A while back some of those Circle nutjobs tried to take over the Bajoran government. One of the Starfleet ships found 'em operating out of the caves.

[10:49] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: You're a good man, Yao... don't ever forget it.

[10:50] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao nods and adjutsts his position so his face is across from hers.*

[10:51] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns at that.-- "Well if terrorists hang out there I sure don't want to go there."

[10:52] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] They were all flushed out and it's back to a tourist location.

[10:53] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen] I try to be...

[10:53] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Meets his gaze, holding it for a moment-

[10:54] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao's handle tremble a bit but he takes a deep breath and leans closer to her.*

[10:54] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --She turns to Grax-- "What do you think? Fire caves?"

[10:55] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] It's certainly a scientific curiousity given the claims the Bajorans make about what happened there.

[10:56] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Holds his hands in hers, trying to calm him. She'd then lean in toward him, kissing him if allowed-

[10:56] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Well we can head down and check out their security. after that we can plan on a way to get into the off limits areas."

[10:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal smiles at her.* You like your fair share of adventure...

[10:57] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao allows it, his hands visibly shaking as they kiss.*

[10:57] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I suppose so. Without it things get boring."

[10:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Life is best lived actively, not passively...

[10:59] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "Whatever that means. I just really depressed when I get bored."

[10:59] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal frowns.* Uh...I don't want you to take this wrong way...but you might want to consider speaking with a counselor about that.

[11:00] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Dal with a mixe of confusion and hostility.-- "Why?"

[11:00] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Holds it for a moment before leaning back, smiling toward him, still holding his hands- Don't do that much huh?

[11:00] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Life on a starship can be boring sometimes. Here we at least have a planet to explore.

[11:01] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao nods.* It was...nice. Really nice...

[11:01] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao nods.* It was...nice. Really nice...

[11:01] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Life everywhere can be boring sometime. Why do you think I work so hard to make it otherwise?"

[11:02] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: Somehow I think the science department is about to get a lot less...boring.

[11:02] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *[Grax]

[11:02] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I hope so."

[11:03] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] When do we head down?

[11:03] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "How do we get there?" --she gances at Hadron--

[11:03] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Nods- Very nice.

[11:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] Do you have transportation to the surface?

[11:04] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen] Can I...again?

[11:04] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Not really."

[11:05] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] We could always take a runabout.

[11:05] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Do you have one?"

[11:05] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Nods some and leans in toward him-

[11:05] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] No, but you just ask to use one.

[11:05] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao leans in and initiates the kiss, this time more confidently and his hands only slightly shaking.*

[11:06] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Ask? Why?"

[11:08] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Kisses him and smiles at his more confidence, shuffling so she can wrap her arms around him-

[11:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Because they're under the station's command? If you don't want to ask we could just take one of the Protector's shuttles.

[11:09] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she considers her options.-- "Who would we ask?"

[11:10] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao leans in and closes his eyes, his confidence growing as his arms wrap around her back.*

[11:10] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] If you need something from the station, their Operations officer on duty. Same goes for the Protector really.

[11:11] [DOIC2] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Okay, come come on. Let's go." --she turns to Hadron and pulls out a couple strips of latinum and lays it on the bar.-- "Here you go."

[11:12] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hadron] Thank you for your patronage. *He turns to head other customers.*

[11:12] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Are we grabbing a runabout from the station or a shuttle from the Protector?

[11:13] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen] This feels...good. You are really pretty...

[11:13] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she heads out of the bar, then head for one of the lifts.--

[11:13] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Are we grabbing a runabout from the station or a shuttle from the Protector?

[11:14] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I imagine that it would be quicker to get a runabout from the station. Let's just see how much red tape is involved."

[11:14] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Alright. Ops!

[11:14] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Blushes slightly- T-thankyou, you're really sweet.

[11:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The lift begins its ascent to the Operations deck.*

[11:16] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --as the lift begins moving she seems lost in thought.--

[11:16] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao presses his forehead against hers.* I probably seem like such a goof...

[11:17] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] A slip for your thoughts.

[11:17] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at him angrily.-- "I told you no mind reading."

[11:17] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] If I was mind reading I wouldn't be asking.

[11:18] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: You might be a little goofy, but it's a wonderful goofy.

[11:18] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "See you told me you never did that."

[11:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Which is why I asked for your thoughts...instead of reading your mind.

[11:19] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen] Really?

[11:19] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well how else are you planning on taking my thoughts?"

[11:19] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal sighs.* Did a telepath mistreat you or something? We're not all monsters who read people at will.

[11:19] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --The lift arrives and she quickly steps off as if to get away from Grax--

[11:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal follows her.* I haven't read you once since we've met.

[11:20] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: I think it is, I love it.

[11:20] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen]...love?

[11:21] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Bites her lip- Y-yes.

[11:21] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she approaches the ops station. and clears her throat.-- "Excuse me who do we see about renting a runabout for a scientific expedition?"

[11:22] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Lieutenant on duty points to a woman with Commander pips standing next to the viewscreen.*

[11:22] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen]...do you know what that's like?

[11:22] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: -she appraoches the Commander-- "Excuse me are you in charge of runabout remtals?"

[11:23] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] I'm in command at the moment Ensign...what can I do for you?

[11:23] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: I'd hope so.

[11:23] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "um, we are part of a scientific expedition. We need a runabout to get to Bajor.""

[11:24] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen] I have this...strange feeling every time I look at you...like I want to kiss you again.

[11:25] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] I don't recognize either of you. Are you transfers?

[11:26] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns.-- "Transfers? Is that important?"

[11:26] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Minna examines her closely.* Who do you report to, Ensign?

[11:27] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Right now I am reporting to you. But that is only because I need something from you. Why do you ask?"

[11:27] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] Because we're not scheduled to receive transfers and I'm trying to figure out who you are and why you're here.

[11:28] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao leans in close to her.*

[11:28] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Grax, she seems confused. She then turns back to the Commander.-- "Well I am Ensign Ezri Tegan. I am here to borrow a runabout."

[11:29] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] Are you on one of the ships at port? Are you visiting the station?

[11:29] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] Are you on one of the ships at port? Are you visiting the station?

[11:30] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I am with the USS Protector, which is visiting the station."

[11:31] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] There we go...see? That's what I needed to know. Is there a reason you're using a runabout instead of one of your shuttlecraft?

[11:31] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugged-- "You were closer."

[11:31] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Minna smirks.* Seriously?

[11:32] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she seems confused again.-- "Um...yeah."

[11:33] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] You are an interesting one...Ensign Tegan. What is the nature of the scientific expedition?

[11:33] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We are investigating the Fire CAves on Bajor."

[11:34] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] Ahhh...quite the adventure. *She looks down at the console in front of her.* I recommend checking in with a tour guide...Lieutenant! *She yells out to the operations officer.* Have these two

[11:34] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: set up for the Rio Grande.

[11:34] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] Do you need a pilot, Ensign?

[11:35] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I think we can figure it out."

[11:35] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "How hard can it be?"

[11:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Commander studies Ezri for a moment.* [Sarish] Make sure it comes back in one piece or Commander Asada will hear about it. Understood?

[11:38] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks confused again.-- "One piece? So if it is just dented or scratched is that okay?"

[11:39] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] It's an expression Ensign...I expect it to come back as it is unless you have a damn good explanation as to why.

[11:39] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am just wondering because I can't guarantee I will be able to figure out how to fly it without some trial and error."

[11:39] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish]...would you like me to assign you a pilot, Ensign?

[11:39] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I have seen people do it. I should be fine."

[11:40] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Minna shakes her head.* Ensign Thompson...you're with these two. Make sure they get to Bajor in one piece.

[11:41] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A young male officer steps up.* Aye ma'am.

[11:41] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she sighs-- "Fine."

[11:41] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] You're free to depart when you're ready, Ensign.

[11:41] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Thank you very much, you have been most helpful."

[11:42] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns and heads for the lift.--

[11:42] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] Enjoy your time on Bajor.

[11:42] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal follows her as well as Thompson.*

[11:42] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well it looks like we have almost a whole away team now. "

[11:43] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thomspon] I won't disrupt your evening together...don't worry. *He chuckles as he steps into the lift.*

[11:43] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Thompson

[11:43] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Leans in toward him- So do I,

[11:43] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she leans in close to Grax. and says quietly-- "we even have a red shirt in case things get dangerous. --she says motioning to Thompson.--

[11:44] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao leans in for a kiss.* Is this...love?

[11:44] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I'm just saying, we all know who isn't coming back."

[11:45] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal blinks and whispers to her.* It's not supposed to be /that/ dangerous...

[11:45] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Kisses him- I-I love you... you have to decide if you love me.

[11:46] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao blinks and then nods.* If that's what this is...then I do.

[11:46] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --She looks at Grax-- "Sure its Bajor, so yeah how bad can it get?" --she leans over to Thompson-- "So don't get too nervous."

[11:46] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles and cups his cheek-

[11:47] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] Nervous? Why would I be nervous?

[11:47] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "That's the spirit."

[11:47] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Ensign tosses her a look as the lift heads for the shuttle bay.*

[11:48] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she steps off thelift when it stops moving and starts heading for teh runabout pad.--

[11:48] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I really need a tricorder. They have those on the runabout right?"

[11:49] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "You should probably bring a phaser."

[11:50] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao slowly raises his hand to her cheek.*

[11:50] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] A phaser? I mean a tricorder definitely...

[11:50] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We will probably need a phaser."

[11:52] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We may have to stun someone." --she says in a matter of fact tone.--

[11:53] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] I dunno what you're planning, but it's probably better than I hear the least possible of it.

[11:54] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "It is probaly best you pay attention an know your part of the plan Thompson. It will save on confusion down the road."

[11:54] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] Alright then, what on Earth is going on here"??

[11:54] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We are checking out the fire caves."

[11:54] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao uses his arms to pull her into his lap.*

[11:55] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] And you think you need...phasers for this...and will possibly use them...on stun...

[11:55] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well yeah. You think they will just allow us into the off limits areas?"

[11:56] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] With all due respect, they're off limits for a reason.

[11:56] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at him-- "Really? Why is that?"

[11:57] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] You could easily get lost the deeper you go...and in some areas...if you fall...you ain't coming back.

[11:58] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --As they arrive at the runabout, she opens the hatch.-- "Oh? Well that sounds exciting."

[11:58] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Doesn't it Grax?"

[11:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Maybe exploring deeper into the caves...but I have no death wish here.

[11:59] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns-- "Don't be an infant."

[12:00] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Because I don't want to die? I never said I wasn't going.

[12:01] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The trio approach the runabout.*

[12:01] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Alrighty then, lets get this bucket in to the black." --she says as sh slides into the co-pilots chair.--

[12:02] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Thompson hops in and slides into the pilots chair, while Grax mans an ops console.*

[12:02] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] =^= This is the Rio Grande, requesting clearance for immediate departure.

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Sarish] =^= Granted Rio Grande...safe travels..

[12:03] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] =^= Understood.

[12:03] [DOIC3] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she pushes a few buttons.-- "I have a good feeling about this."

[12:03] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Thompson ignites the runabout's engines and the Rio Grande hums to life as it is lifted from the bay onto the outer hull of the station.*

[12:04] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thompson] That's good...cause here we go.

[12:04] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Rio Grande takes off and heads for Bajor.*

[12:37] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao uses his arms to pull her into his lap.*

[12:38] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Allows herself to be pulled into Yao's Lap-

[12:39] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao looks up at her happily.* Do you like this?

[12:39] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Looks toward Yao and smiles- Aye. -she says softly-

[12:41] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao smiles back and pulls her down for a kiss, wrapping his arms around her back.*

[12:42] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Her arms losely find themselves around Yao's back, leaning down into the kiss-

[12:45] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao pulls back for a moment, looking up at her before kissing her cheek.*

[12:46] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles then yawns some, raising her hand to her mouth-

[12:47] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen] Ummm...should I...lead you to my room?

[12:48] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Do you mind?

[12:49] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao shakes his head.* Do you...want to?

[12:49] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Smiles- Yeah.

[12:50] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao smiles and gets to his feet, offering Cat a hand.*

[12:50] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Clambers to her feet and takes Yao's hand-

[12:51] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao leads her to a nearby lift, which starts for the officer's quarters section of the station.*

[12:52] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As they step into the lift, he is still holding her hand.* I've...ummm...never...had this before.

[12:53] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: You haven't? -she says smiling warmly, giving his hand a gentle squeeze-

[12:53] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao shakes his head.*

[12:54] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: Well... you do now, aye?

[12:55] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao nods as the lift doors open and he steps out.*

[12:56] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *He cautiously leads Cat to his quarters, entering the access code and stepping through the door.*

[12:57] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Is follow the Yao-

[12:58] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao enters the bedroom and takes a seat on his bed.*

[12:59] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Pretty much faceplants onto Yao's bed-

[12:59] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen] Are you okay?

[1:00] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Sits up- Yeah, sorry.

[1:01] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chen] You don't need to apologize. *He scoots over to her.*

[1:02] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Shuffles across to Yao- You're almost too sweet. -she pokes her tounge out at him-

[1:03] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao pokes his tongue out in response, wrapping an arm around her waist.*

[1:05] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Gently tries to push Yao down until he is laying down, then resting her head on his chest, letting her hair down-

[1:06] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao does so, letting her rest her head on him. He slowly runs a hand through her hair after she puts it down.*

[1:08] [DOIC4] Catriona@dardez1: -Cat shuts her eyes and does an Anna, slowly starting to drift off on Yao-

[1:09] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Yao leans back and closes his eyes, trying to sleep.*
