Adagio 10/20

[10:14] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Star Trek Adagio opening cast and credits scroll by to the music  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkWtthtbQQ8

[10:16] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The camera opens up on a pair of shuttles humming with anticaption for launch while the crew is gather and gearing up for a mission..Talia log is heard as she gets ready with the rest.

[10:18] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: =^= Captain's Log, Stardate 95768.08. The Citadel has been attacked, a cowardly attack leveled at the Alliance and Project Magellan forces while a large part of the ships of our fleets lay in dock.

[10:19] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: Not an attack like the assault by the Iconians on Starbase 234...to the Dark and her servents...the true assest to strike at are the people...not the material...playing on fears and breeding terror

[10:20] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: they struck out at us from behind...at our safehaven...preying on us when they believed we were most vunerable. What they did not count on is our strength is not just in direct combat...but our

[10:21] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: intelligence...our duty to one another...and our faith in our own abilities...Officers from the Pilgrim and Sentinel...working with Eirene shut down the attack and seized the attacking force's foot

[10:23] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: soldiers and stopping the cowardly act....yet even as we reinforced and ensure though direct Aid from the Adagio for Eirene to contain the prisonors infected with a corruption much like the Hur'q..we

[10:24] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: detected a series of strange dimensional phase anomlies on the surface of Artesia III..the unpopulated world the Citadel orbits around. I have ordered up a full away mission...but the nature of these

[10:26] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: distrubances should they be conntected to the attack on the Citadel would make transporters problematic...so i have ordered up a full shuttle drop...with Science, medical and OPs with a DCT and a team

[10:27] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: of security with a squad of Lonah's deltas supporting them...I do not know what we will find down there...and we must know what it casuing this...but i will not have my people caught unprepared on the

[10:28] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: ground...nor would i ask of them somethng I am not willing to do firs tmyself...so i will lead the away mission...i want answers..is this tied to the attack or something else..we shall soon see..

[10:28] [DOIC] Talia@Isis.: ...Talia out.

[10:29] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -slips in a new power handle into her phaser two pistol and holster it as she checks her unique braces securing each to her wrist-

[10:30] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos is checking pouches for various medical stuffs. When he seems hapy, he starts affixing an avynei talisman to his wrist.*

[10:30] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren was fiddling with her armour, muttering to herself.*  "Where was that button..."

[10:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Command staff to me -calls out to her people nodding to Stanton to prep and load tia's team into the Valkryies and Maxwell and the DCT's to theirs-

[10:31] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: music as they get ready and get their briefing  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STc6FGDNOL0

[10:31] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Palmer] -to Sevuk- I will have our team lead down the DCT's sir...while you cover the captain and the command away team

[10:31] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk nods.* Understood.

[10:32] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos mutters a prayer to the ladies, closing his eyes for a moment.*

[10:33] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -steps up near Talia...the ribbon attached the sword on her back streaming behind her-

[10:33] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Palmer] Aye sir..Conners....Hopkins...Suliria with me! -moves her people over to the engineering shuttle-

[10:33] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smiles and pats Asiani onthe shoulder- Lets hope we do not need you too badly down there Doc

[10:33] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -chekcs her sidearm and slides it into a holster and waits for Talia-

[10:34] [DOIC2] Asiani Jaril@Kirawyn: I always hope that I'm not needed. *smiles*

[10:34] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Hell, I'm ready to be needed down there.  I'm ready to do some damn science."

[10:34] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos finishes his prayer, nodding to Eren.* "I am curious to see this world..."

[10:34] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Deck Boss...launch Dragon Wing for oribital cover....Ada....Maintain full Yellow Alert....have the helm put us into gyo-sycnh orbit above command shuttle LZ

[10:35] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Good Brat -to Eren- We will need you to science the heck out of this ...I want answers ...i want to know if this is a second wave or something else

[10:35] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Shuttles have begun the launch and whisk away.

[10:36] [DOIC2] Asiani Jaril@Kirawyn: *looks up at Ankos quizically* Are you feeling the same thing as when "Fear" invaded the bridge?

[10:36] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "It will be done, Captain."

[10:36] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -walks by each checking their gear and nodding to them- We have as you all known a series of dimensional phase shifts occuring below....this may be a second wave of the attack...or this may be

[10:36] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "No, Doctor. This is much more rational."

[10:36] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: something else entirely

[10:37] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos quietens down and listens to Talia.*

[10:38] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -thumps Ankos on the shoulder and holds his gaze a moment letting hum see her faith in him- Stay close to me down there Counselor...ill need that insight if it is tied to what happned long ago

[10:38] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He smiles, nodding to the Captain.* "Understood."

[10:39] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: interjects -> The dimensional rifts fade in and out of existance...transporter tracking is not possible near them..and it may be wise to repel from the shuttles to land so they can stay airborne.

[10:40] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...You want us to jump out of a shuttlecraft."  *She deadpanned.*

[10:40] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Exfil will be done in a similar emergency fashion with fly by extractions by repel lines..so be ready for
a rough evac if need be

[10:40] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: No no Eren-grinned-...you are sliding down a rope from a shuttle

[10:40] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Let it not be said it is a boring Citadel leave..." *He grins*

[10:40] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -cant resist- its a ...controlled landing

[10:40] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Artesia III has undergone racial terriforming as we have seen form the Avynei and we should not need
life support.

[10:40] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "That's not better!"

[10:40] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *Finally comes to the others looking rather uncomfortable*

[10:40] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos would go, to offer a friendly squeeze to Eren's shoulder.*

[10:40] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smirks wickedly- If it was easy People..it would not be fun

[10:41] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Ops?

[10:41] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren was starting to look a little green.*

[10:41] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Captain?"

[10:42] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: I want you working close with the science brats ...if we find tech down there im gonna need to know how to
shut it down or work with it fast...ensure you bring some portable power units with you

[10:42] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "No worries, Eren... Much less competent people than you have survived this. I know people who
do it for fun."

[10:42] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...Ican'tdothisdon'tmakemedothisplease."

[10:42] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Joe ...you are the pilot for the trip down...but i want you on the ground with Mr Sevuk...I saw you in the
arena ...so you will answer to him on the ground understood?

[10:43] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: "Understood, Captain."

[10:43] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He would try to pull Eren closer, for a small hug.*

[10:43] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Xaelei looks over to Sereya- I will help you get down..just hold on to me.

[10:43] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Sure thing captain, damn I have not had on anything like this since the acedemy" *sighs trying
to get used to the armor,*

[10:43] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "It will not be for too long. Trust me."

[10:43] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Dont worry about the drop Eren.....gravity will do most of the work....-louder- Any questions then?

[10:43] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren looked intensely uncomfortable as Ankos hugged her.*  "That's the issue, Captain!!"

[10:44] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smirked a little more enjoying just a little bit being a brat to the brat-

[10:44] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos shakes his head to indicate he has no questions, looking back down to Eren.* "Hey. You
climbed those steep, jagged rocks on that planet the avynei terraformed. You won't let some air beat you."

[10:44] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Xo anything to add?

[10:45] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren just made a little uncomfortable noise.*

[10:46] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Once we enter the dimernsional rift communcation out of it may not be possible...and be ready for
anything.

[10:46] [DOIC2] Asiani Jaril@Kirawyn: It's not the gravity that's the problem, Eren. It's whether or not there's a sudden stop at the
end. *smiles comfortingly*

[10:47] [DOIC2] Asiani Jaril@Kirawyn: Just think of it like rapelling.

[10:47] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She scowled at Asiani.*

[10:47] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "...People, you really ain't helping."

[10:47] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -nods- Remember your training...remember one another...back to back we will see this through..with
strength and honor...Joe...You cna CAG fire up the shuttle...the rest of you...-claps her hands- Lets

[10:47] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: get aboard and get moving...the Citadel is counting on us

[10:48] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: Yes captain.

[10:48] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the crew hustles on the board the shuttle together..and shorly after is taking off and heading out the
Citadel station-

[10:48] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren was a good trill and had her PADD on silent.*

[10:48] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Remember how we did it last time, Eren... Just hold onto me."

[10:49] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "If I fall first, I may break your fall.'

[10:49] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She just glared at him.*

[10:49] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Ankos...you drop with Eren...Sevuk...you and the XO will follow me down..Ill drop in first

[10:49] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The shuttle Firebrand decends into the atmosphere as the crew sits tight for the ride-

[10:49] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Understood, Captain."

[10:50] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: music for the scene  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SMOTBTTto4

[10:50] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -grabs the overhead as she stands in the cockpit to steady herself as she monitors the drop- =^=
Adagio..Firebrand...commencing drop

[10:50] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "When do I go?"

[10:50] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Nonononono..."

[10:51] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You go right before Eren and Ankos OPs...i want you buddied up witht he CMO

[10:51] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Firebrand arrive near the target zone..and the doors open outside..the wind is fierce

[10:51] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Joe and CAG drop last...have the shuttle pilot circle above our positions

[10:51] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Oh, shut up, Ankos!"  *She bent over and breathed through her knees.*

[10:51] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: several long cables and thrown out and dangle from reals...some 20 meters of the ground-

[10:52] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: "Aye Captain."

[10:52] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -moves to the read door and hooks herself to the line- Sevuk..XO up!

[10:52] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos' hand keeps rubbing Eren's back.* "There, there..."

[10:52] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *nods to the doctor taking a couple deep breaths to make ready*

[10:52] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -looks down to the trees below-

[10:52] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -get next to Talia to drop after her-

[10:53] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the hum on the engines can be heard over the wind as the shuttle struggles not to rock-

[10:53] [DOIC2] Asiani Jaril@Kirawyn: *broadcasts feelings of confidence to her compatriots*

[10:53] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Is it too late to resign my commission?"  *She looked up at Ankos.*

[10:54] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -after a moment..unhook herself from the rope backs up a step and then runs out the back and sommersaults
onher way down gleefully calling out as she drops-

[10:54] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Ask the captain!"

[10:54] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "She just jumped out the damn shuttle!"

[10:54] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oooooh, yeah, I've heard she tends to do that..."

[10:55] [DOIC2] Asiani Jaril@Kirawyn: *shakes her head and smiles as she watches Talia summersault out the door*

[10:55] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -just sighs and rolls her eyes an she grabs and cable and graceful slides down in a spinning spiral-

[10:55] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She breathed a very unladylike stream of curses.*

[10:55] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -does the 'superhero landing' and charges her bracers backing up securing the LZ for the others-

[10:55] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "C'mon, Old Man... pull yourself together. At least this ain't fatherhood, it will only last
twenty seconds."

[10:56] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Damn" *blinks having watched the captain, then waits her turn*

[10:56] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Xae lands graceful near Talia and continues to watch all around them-

[10:56] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "At least I never had to jump out a shuttle for my damn kids!"

[10:57] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "They never took you skidiving? You should be lucky!"

[10:57] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk grabs the line and slecures himself, then jumps and starts sliding down.*

[10:57] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "They never took me anywhere, little freeloaders..."

[10:57] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos cannot help but give out a hearty laugh at that.*

[10:58] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the light in the cabin flashes red for the next pair to drop-

[10:58] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She covered her face with her hands.*

[10:58] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *takes another deep breath stepping up to the rope, checking if its clear before grabbing on
and sliding down the caple looking like she is actually finding it fun, but she stops herself from chearing

[10:59] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -looks up for Ops and the doctor to drop now-

[10:59] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: (roll please Carina)

[10:59] [DOIC2] Asiani Jaril@Kirawyn: I'll be right down after you, Eren, ready to heal any boo-boos. *smiles*

[10:59] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Svul full sweep of the area...phasers on heavy stun

[10:59] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Um... You're with Ops, Doctor."

[10:59] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Sevuk*

[10:59] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He points to the ropes*

[11:00] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...Did Carina just ditch her?"

[11:00] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Carina stuggles a bit..but rights herself...barely...

[11:00] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Carina absolutely f'n ditched her."

[11:00] [DOIC2] Asiani Jaril@Kirawyn: *grabs the rope and rappels down like the experienced rock climber she is*

[11:00] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -nods to Ops as she arrives- Fun right?

[11:00] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: Yes captain.

[11:01] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Its cool, even if its been a while, I rusty"

[11:01] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe was silently waiting for his turn to go down*

[11:01] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the light in the cabin flashes red for the next pair to drop-

[11:01] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: MT

[11:01] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren looked at the shuttle pilot.*  "...I could totally take him."

[11:01] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Too late. Our turn."

[11:01] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe was silently waiting for his turn to go down*

[11:01] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk adjusts the setting to heavy stun, slowly turning to visually examine the area.*

[11:01] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He gently taps Eren's shoulder.* "Latch on. I'll be beside you."

[11:01] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Youll stick the landing next time -pats her on the shoulder and smiles as the Doctor arrives-

[11:01] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "What do you say, Counselor, you and me, we take this thing and go rogue.  Find some bronze age
civilisation and live like kings."

[11:02] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Firebrand pilot through the mic -> sure you can , love....but can you get a move on?

[11:02] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "...You know just what to say, Eren..." *He grins, but hooks himelf up.*

[11:02] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She sighed and VERY reluctantly hooked herself up, triple and then quadruple checking
everything.*

[11:03] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Okay, Eren. On Three."

[11:03] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "One, Two..."

[11:03] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Hnnngh..."

[11:03] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -looks up for the counselor and Eren-

[11:03] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Three." *He lets himself slide downwards, unusually calm and collected.*

[11:03] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "FUUUUUUUUCK!!"  *Eren screamed as she clung on to Ankos for DEAR LIFE.*

[11:03] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: There is a force wave sudenly..peple can feel it like something exploded..but no sound.

[11:04] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos would try to grab Eren tighter as he felt the force wave.* "Aw, fuck me."

[11:04] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Firebrand rocks a bit from the jolt and tries to right itself...

[11:04] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "NOT EVEN IF WE'RE ABOUT TO DIE!"

[11:04] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Sevuk ...locate that epicetner!...-braces herself-

[11:04] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: (ankos and eren roll please)

[11:04] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "You and I both know it's a bit too late for that!"

[11:05] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Eren death grip is so tight on the cable she stays glued to it form the shock..however Ankos loose his
grib and starts to fall-

[11:06] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk attempts to pinpoint the epicenter visually.*

[11:06] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos doesn't even scream, just trying to lock his thighs around the rope and regain his
grip.*

[11:06] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "COUNSELOR!"  *Eren instinctively tried to reach out for him even with her deathly fear otherwise
paralysing her.*

[11:06] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Ohh Hel"

[11:06] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos would try to grip onto Eren's hand.*

[11:07] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Ankos' arms and legs flail for anything but miss and he plumemets down-

[11:07] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: -Thud-

[11:08] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -leaps straight up into the air to make a grab of her counselor and science officer and roll to land with
them on the ground safely-

[11:08] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "No!"  *She clung to the rope with all of her strength now, her heart nearly exploding out of her
chest now.*  "Shiiiiiiit..."

[11:10] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Talia knabs Ankos form hsi fall and landed nearby

[11:10] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: XO ! Up the rope...bring her down

[11:11] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Xaelei starts to climb back up a ling to help Eren down-

[11:11] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos hugs tight, eyes closed.* "...Are you an angel?" *He then looks up when he hears Talia's
voice.* "Oh. Uhrm. Thanks Captain."

[11:11] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -lets Ankos roll from her lap and helps him rise to stand- Are you hurt?

[11:11] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *With the other Delta's pascifying something.*

[11:11] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She squeezed her eyes tightly closed.*  "You can do this... Maker's sake you've already died
twice..."  *She was starting to cautiously lower herself when Xaelei caught up to her, gratefully...

[11:11] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos stands up.* "No, thanks to you."

[11:11] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: letting the XO take over from there.*

[11:12] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Of course that a huge f'n explosion hits when it's the amateur and the one scared of heights'
turn..."

[11:13] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Xaelei holds on tightly to Eren and helps he slide trhe rest of the way down-

[11:13] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -pats him on the shoulder- Out of your hands counselor..I am just glad you are okay

[11:13] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks, Captain. So am I.' *He then looks to Eren.* "See, I was right about one thing! -You-
didn't fall!"

[11:13] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Her legs shook a little as she got on solid ground, gratefully taking a few wobbly steps.*
"Thank you, Commander... I owe you one."

[11:14] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk continues visually scanning the area.*

[11:14] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Well I still could've easily been the one who took a tumble back there!"

[11:14] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Think nothing of it..it is all part of the service.

[11:14] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *smiles as they get down safely*

[11:14] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "We would both have been fine if there wasn't a huge explosion."

[11:14] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -the light in the cabin flashes red for the next pair to drop-

[11:15] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Joe....drop Eren..sweep the area....Sev you too....no more surprise explosions people

[11:15] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Yeah, what the hell was that?"  *She tapped her handy wrist display on and began scanning the
area.*

[11:15] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: The rift shockwaves are exactly why we are doing things this way...

[11:15] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Lonah gets ready to go down next; shaking her head.*

[11:15] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos stays close to Talia, as ordered earlier, and tries to poke around telepathically for
anything out of place... ignoring the horrible history of the planet.*

[11:16] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: Yes captain.

[11:16] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Feeling happy to be on the planet with the totally horrible history.*

[11:17] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: OPS give me a scan...look for any structures...power lines...anything that might not be natural

[11:17] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk advances forward.*

[11:17] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Be respectful... do not disturb the dead."

[11:17] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -watches to be sure Joe and the Chief land safely-

[11:18] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *scans the area, looking for any sign of power lines or structures or such things* "on it
captain"

[11:18] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe lets out a sigh as he approaches the rope*

[11:18] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Firebrand -> You two are the last..get movin'!

[11:18] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Ill respect them...as long as they respect me and stay Dead Counselor

[11:18] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren headed after Sevuk, scanning away.  Her discomfort seemed to have vanished, and she was now
very carefully monitoring her wrist display between glancing around at the plant life.*

[11:18] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Let's go Joe." Hooks up and begins the descent down to the rest of the team.*

[11:18] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "That is pretty fair, Captain.'

[11:19] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smiles- See? I can be reasonable

[11:19] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe nods and proceeds to hook up and begin the descent.*

[11:19] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: (roll please Joe)

[11:19] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "No hiding from ops" *she says to herself while walking around scanning for buildings and
powerlines, along with other unnatural things.*

[11:19] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "You mean when you're not doing anything recklessly dangerous and absolutely heroic?"

[11:19] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: The final pair slide down safely to the ground-

[11:20] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren set her log to begin recording.*  "We've made landfall with... minimal incident.  Ankos was
nearly flattened while we rappelled out of the shuttle.  Do not recommend the experience.  Planet...

[11:20] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: appears to be Class M and temperate."

[11:20] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She moved her wrist around to get a visual catalogue of the area.*

[11:21] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Firebrand raises the cables and closes the hatch and flies higher into a safe circile holding pattern.

[11:21] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Searches the surroundings as she whips the rope out of her attachments. She unslings the rile.*

[11:21] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -walks around the LZ perimeter taking in the view as she scans for any signs of life-

[11:22] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -waves up to the Firebrand as it moves off-

[11:22] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos walks with Talia as ordered, looking around, and using his mind to poke telepathically
too.*

[11:22] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She looked down at the display.*  "Hundred meters ahead, my readings are starting to distort.
Might be worth taking a peek at."

[11:22] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe unslings his rifle and moves toward Sevuk*

[11:22] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -insect and citters of all kinds skitter out of sight as the bustle that has arrived-

[11:23] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: All right...form up...Chief take point..lets go take a look

[11:23] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Eren...keep feeding your data to Lonah as she takes us ovver

[11:23] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Aye aye, Captain." MOving ahead of the team to look for something to beat up when it tries to beat
them up.*

[11:23] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren made sure to get a quick scan of some of the insect life while she had the chance.*  "Aye,
ma'am."

[11:23] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -moves up to join Lonah at the front just a step or two behind to let the big Klingon work-

[11:24] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She sent her readings of the surrounding hundred meters to Lonah's HUD.*

[11:24] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos is a good zoid, and remains close to Talia, as she told him to earlier.*

[11:24] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Sevuk...Ops...talk to me

[11:24] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *forms up with the others continuing trying to do her scans as they move*

[11:24] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: Nothing to report, captain.

[11:25] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Reads the information being given to her on the HUD.*

[11:25] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "I am getting the same distortion"

[11:25] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: There is some sort of distortion, possibly interference approximately 100 meters ahead.

[11:26] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Yeah, Sevuk, that's why we're going there," *she smirked.*

[11:26] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smirks at that- Well atleast the readings are consistant

[11:26] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos' hand is on his phaser, though he doesn't draw it yet.*

[11:26] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Eren...Ops..any signs of life other than us or the other away teams?

[11:27] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Cant detect any unatural things, so nope no sign"

[11:27] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Nothing potentially sentient just yet.  Fair amount of insect life, though."

[11:27] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Life will persist..." *He says with a small smile.*

[11:27] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: So it might be safe to assume...natural occurances...or this is an arrival point from some place else

[11:28] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "A door the Dark kept a stopper in all these years to keep from closing and locking, maybe?"

[11:28] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "We would have detected it before."

[11:29] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Or...a residual effect from whatever was here before that war too..this may not be connected to the
attacks

[11:29] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Fallout, if you will..."

[11:29] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Quite so, Captain."

[11:29] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "So a door she left here to open for those pesky annoances to her plans."

[11:29] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: The shockwave appears to originate from the same heading as the distortion.

[11:29] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -nods- an echo? or maybe..something brand new

[11:29] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "We can't be sure yet."

[11:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: So we are on the right path -nods to Sevuk- look sharp chief...we should be coming up on soon

[11:30] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I can't believe this used to be a lush world, home to a rich civilization..."

[11:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smirks- Provided it is visible

[11:30] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "If I disintergrate, you'll we're there."

[11:30] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *know

[11:30] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She kept following the others and scanning like a good science trill.*  "All our worlds may well
look like this some day.  Nature always takes over again after civilisation departs."

[11:31] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Its really...lovely down here though...

[11:31] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Yea... It was no simple departure, though, sadly."

[11:31] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -nods to Eren-

[11:31] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You did your best counselor

[11:31] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "...That was aeons before I was born, Captain..."

[11:32] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "But the important thing is, you tried," *she smirked.*

[11:32] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He scoffs back a chuckle.*

[11:32] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -chuckles some and tenses a moment and snarls a soft sigh-

[11:32] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Captain?"

[11:32] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Eyes up Chief....

[11:33] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Aims the rifle up to see what is there to see. "Looking."

[11:33] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The crew's footfalls rustle the fallen leave and stip unseen twigs as they pass

[11:33] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: All eyes up....i couldve swore i just saw ...shadows....yet each time i look...nothing

[11:33] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Shadows are one of her favourite playthings, you know."

[11:33] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Eren...try sweeping the area using the phase shifts as a modulation for your scans

[11:33] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Hope it's just the dead watching the first who dare come here in a while.."

[11:34] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "sounds like how it started on the Citadel"

[11:34] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "She might be summoning her shadow creatures then."

[11:34] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos tries to poke around with his mind.*

[11:34] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: If there is a patten...my thoughts exactly OPS

[11:34] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren nodded, trying to use the data from the phase shifts that had already been taken to attempt
to adjust her scans.*

[11:34] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The party can smell the distant oder of wood burning somewhere near.

[11:34] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Count the shadows... For the love of the ladies, count the shadows..."

[11:34] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Uh... someone else smell burning?"

[11:35] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Joe...keep those unique eyes of yours peeled...these cowards like to play games

[11:35] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Yeah, I do as well"

[11:35] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "I'm registering something thats like wood smoke."

[11:35] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe's tongue comes out his mouth and quickly goes back in* "Yeah..."

[11:35] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Big enough to be a forest fire?"

[11:35] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: ...wood...trees at the anomoly site maybe caught fire?

[11:35] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Anything on sensors?

[11:36] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "It's going to take a minute for the modulation to take effect."  *She tapped her wrist pad
impatiently.*

[11:36] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *tries to can for the source of the fire*

[11:36] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Very good Eren...-nods to her-

[11:37] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...Damn it... nothing I'm doing is working.  I'll try and reset."  *She did so, then sighed.*
"Nothing.  I think we've passed into the distortion."

[11:37] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Does the obvious thing, looks for the smoke.*

[11:37] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -looks to Eren- We walked into it?

[11:37] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: or did it move up on us?

[11:37] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "It seems that way."

[11:37] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: or did it move up on us?

[11:38] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Tree's are thinnning out ahead, the smell is getting stronger."

[11:38] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I have literally no way of knowing, Captain, my scanner is completely useless."  *She kept
trying other settings.*

[11:38] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "My telepathy isn't picking up anything fuc... weird, too."

[11:39] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Keep moving forward...tighten up people and look sharp -nods to Eren-....be ready....this isnt...right but
we still move direct to threat

[11:39] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I suppose if we turn around and walk back the way we came and the scanner comes back on, we'll
know there the barrier is."

[11:39] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "I am better at communications then this, I got nothing on this scanner as well"

[11:39] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos draws his pistol, needing the small bit of mental safety it gives.*

[11:39] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: I am unable to detect anything aside from the distortion.

[11:40] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Think outside the box people, we're going to have to rely on our senses. If thats possible."

[11:40] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren looked at Carina, unconvinced, then moved closer to the ones with the big guns.*

[11:40] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Eyes and ears up...weapons ready...lets have a look at the epicenter and see what we are dealing with

[11:40] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She quietly drew her hand phaser with a nod.*

[11:41] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *draws her phaser and gets herself ready, frowning slightly*

[11:41] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "We're not in Kansas anymore..."

[11:41] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Quiet, Dorothy."

[11:41] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The group noticed as the trees are thinning a small clearing up ahead..it has a little ramshackle
wooden shack and what looks to be an anciet crone hunched over a black cauldron.

[11:42] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -does not draw her weapon but takes her bracers safety off and racks a charge into both readying them-

[11:42] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I didn't know we were going to my ex wife's house."

[11:42] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: ...

[11:42] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos loudly snorts back a laugh.*

[11:42] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk raises an eyebrow.*

[11:43] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Hmpf." Pauses a moment to scan the clearning before approaching the shack and the crone.*

[11:43] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smirks at Eren's comment but does not relax-- Oh...naturally....

[11:43] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Could be worse... I don't see husband number two around." *He is tense too*

[11:43] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -walks over to the ramshackle shack and its owner and her cauldron-

[11:43] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos follows Talia.*

[11:43] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren did so as well.*

[11:44] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Good Evening -to the old woman-

[11:44] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos nods respectfully.*

[11:44] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She offered a charming smile.*

[11:48] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The crone seems oblvious to the group as they enter the clearing as she is muttering incently to
herself

[11:48] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Uh... neat cauldron, what's cooking?"

[11:49] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *ankos would try to get anything from the crone telepathically, even if to see if she's really
there.*

[11:49] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The crones freezes in place a moment and turn her hear...her eyes are wide and black as the abyss.

[11:50] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -walks right over to her as she works over her cauldron,,,and stops midstep- Okay here we go....We need
you to cease what you are doing immediately

[11:50] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren fought back a grimace, but her smile did falter as she looked over at Talia.*

[11:50] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Her stares is unsettling as she at each in turn without a word...the cauldron makes occasional bubbling
noises as it slowly simmers...

[11:51] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -fights to repress a terrified shiver at the sight those black eyes-

[11:51] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk keeps his rifle trained on her.*

[11:51] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos breathes deeply, but he doesn't falter, this not being the first time he stares into
eyes like that.*

[11:51] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren took in a breath.  Hey, at least she wasn't jumping out of a shuttle again.*

[11:52] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *looks around looking for other threats feeling enough are focused on the crone*

[11:52] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: The crone coughes out, "Stop what I'm doing, she says"  Snorts.

[11:53] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: We stopped the attack on the Citadel...this ends now....dont make us force this...just cease and go back
where you came from..understand me -jaw tightens as she forces her voice to be ice and resolved

[11:53] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: That was her instruction.

[11:53] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -

[11:53] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren snuck a peek at her wrist scanner, imagining it was still too messed up to pick up anything
from the witch.*

[11:54] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe's rifle was trained on this witch*

[11:55] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> Where I came from?  What are you taling about girl?  You stop out of the woods..and demand I
stop making my stew?!

[11:55] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Keeps her head on a swivel, watching their surroundings as they speak with the witch.*

[11:55] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -a fan of old horror movies..Talia had to force herself not to order Lonah to keep an eye out for Pumpkin
Head...a creuture that still unnerved her years later-

[11:55] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -sets her jaw and says tightly- Yes and you are a simple old maid when abyss like eyes

[11:55] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Sorry, she's just... allergic to the ingredients.  Steam makes her nauseous and cranky.  Who are
you?"

[11:55] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Would indeed keep her eye out for it.*

[11:57] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> How I am in none of your business. -hmphs as she mixes what it in the cauldron some more-

[11:58] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Sorry.  We're just looking for something, we were hoping you could help us find it."

[11:58] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos nods.* "We didn't think anyone lived here, to be honest."

[11:58] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -walks right over to the cauldron and forces herself to look into the 'stew' being brewed-

[12:00] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -closes her eyes and shudders- ....what the hell is this made of?

[12:00] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone cackles -> Lost are you?  What or where are you looking form?

[12:01] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone-> The stew...a little of this and that with a dash of faded hopes and dreams...

[12:02] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Answers, mostly... we had thought this place was abandoned, after all."  *She peered into the
stew.*

[12:02] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "I bet it tastes like depression and hopelessness."

[12:02] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "So it tastes like Earth beer?"

[12:02] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, like humans? I think french ones had a cheese that tastes like despair..." *He looks into
the stew.*

[12:02] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The stew looks to have the color, texture and oder of vommit.

[12:02] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos pulls away fast.*

[12:03] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...Oh.  My dad used to make that," *she remarked with a grimace.*

[12:03] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "What is it?"

[12:03] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Cream of Hangover."

[12:03] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Curious about it now, looks tasty.*

[12:04] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> What does it look like child?  It my dinner for the week...

[12:04] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> What does it look like child?  It my dinner for the week...

[12:04] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe opens his mouth*

[12:04] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "If you want, maybe we could send you some... other food down?"

[12:04] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -sets her jaw again- Okay...we have been attacked..ive little time for games...what you are doing sent up
all kinds of red flags and dimensional shifts

[12:05] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You wanted our attention...you have suceeded..but we are not in the mood for this

[12:06] [DOIC1] Carina Winther@awendra: *frowns a bit and starts looking around the place, slowly walking, making sure not to go out of
line of sight of the group*

[12:06] [DOIC1] Carina Winther@awendra: (MT)

[12:06] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *frowns a bit and starts looking around the place, slowly walking, making sure not to go out of
line of sight of the group*

[12:07] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: The Crones cackles -> But all children love thier games..coming to me with pointed questions and
accustations.

[12:07] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I mean, if you were going to have a Halloween party you could've told us so we could've come in
costume."

[12:07] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone ->  Affraid I am up to no good, hmmm? Affriad I will put a hex on you, hmmm?

[12:07] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You are dead center of an active anomoly....its no coincidence

[12:08] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -leans in close- You need to stop

[12:08] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Yeah, yeah, Hail Santa and all that."

[12:08] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Isn't Christmas in... two months?

[12:08] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> Stop what deary. What is it you think I am doing.  What is it you fear?

[12:09] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: I am not afriad...but what you are doing..is adding to the fear above for the wounded and those that are
shaken by such palor tricks

[12:09] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: I wont have her fear tactics added too

[12:10] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Sudden there is loud "cawing" from a swarm of black bird flying over head and then out of sight-

[12:10] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk looks up.*

[12:10] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She glanced up with a frown.*

[12:10] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joseph looks up*

[12:10] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -jumps some and flinches some but forces herself to hold the crone's gaze-

[12:10] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos keeps his eyes on the crone, though he flinches at the crows.*

[12:10] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Seems negotiations are stagnating..." Watching the crows.*

[12:11] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You really need to stop

[12:11] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren looked back down and nodded.*  "It's time to stop," *she agreed.*

[12:11] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joseph brings head back down at the Crone*

[12:12] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: The Crone locks her gaze with Talia's -> Does your fear ever stop?  What is it you fear?

[12:12] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: I will not allow you to help Her...feed into their fear....

[12:13] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -shivers a bit more at the old witch meeting her gaze but stands her ground-

[12:13] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren took a look around the area to see if there was a road of any sign of other cottages.*

[12:13] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: I am afraid that...doing so ...will return these people back into despair

[12:13] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: Continues to looks around the place while the others are focused on the Crone, moving about a
bit*

[12:14] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> What is it you want stopped?

[12:14] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -blinks at that-

[12:15] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...The violence?"  *She tried.*

[12:15] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -backs off a little- ....I want an answer....did you cause the anomaloes...and why?

[12:16] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Thr crones crooks as smile as she breaks her stare and giggles as she stirs her pot -> Maybe I wanted
vistors.

[12:17] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -looks at the pot and then to her- Is there enough -nods to the stew-

[12:17] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "We're here then."

[12:17] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren looked at the pot, briefly wondering if she should push Ankos in it.  For purely scientific
purposes, of course.*

[12:18] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Weapons down -to her people-

[12:18] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> Plenty..yes..plenty...will need to get some bowels from the house though.

[12:18] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Um... I hope you meant to say bowls, not bowels..."  *She cringed at the crone.*

[12:18] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Ops...Joe...please help our host find more bowels

[12:18] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos does as Talia orders.*

[12:19] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -to the Crone- Anything else we can do to help with your dinner?

[12:19] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe lowers his rifle*

[12:20] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She put her phaser at her side.*

[12:20] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> Maybe pull up a bench or two..unless you like sitting on the ground

[12:20] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I don't mind  the ground. Been too long since I've had grass underneath me'

[12:20] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smirks- I am not opposed to it Ma'am....ground will do...but Sevuk...see if you can locate a
bench...Ankos give him a hand

[12:21] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Will do, Captain." *He goes to look for a bench.*

[12:22] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Slings her rifle.*

[12:23] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: A singular black raven lands on the roof of the hut and stares as the crew on the ground-

[12:23] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Hey, Birdie!"

[12:24] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren stared right back.*

[12:24] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *looks curiously at the Raven*

[12:24] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos looks for benches.* "Ma'am... uh. Hostess? What's your name?"

[12:24] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -looks up at the bird- ....Carina?

[12:25] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He looks to the crone*

[12:25] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -looks over to Ops-

[12:26] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "A Raven, looks like how I always pictured Odin's Ravens"

[12:26] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren just facepalmed.*

[12:26] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> You already know my name boy.

[12:26] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I do?"

[12:26] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Carina? -tries again smiling-

[12:26] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos tries hard to remember if he met any other old women cooking giant cauldrons in the
woods.*

[12:27] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -motions to Ops- Come help me find some bowels...-enters the shack-

[12:27] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe was staring at the bird*

[12:27] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Mister Sevuk? PLease help me move this log, we can use it as a bench."

[12:28] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Yes captain, sorry" *she follows after the captain, looking embaresed*

[12:29] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Bowls, Captain... bowls!  Not having the e sound is VERY important!"  *She called.*

[12:29] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -as the pair neter the house..their is streak of darting black following by feral hissing of a black
cat in the corner..hair on end-

[12:29] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Ma'am Lonah? Can you please help me with the log if Sevuk is busy?"

[12:29] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -just jumps as the black cat hits another unnerving movie trope that freaks her out- ...of course

[12:29] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "That's Commander Lonah, Counselor..."

[12:29] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk nods.* Of course counselor.

[12:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Bowls...sorry

[12:30] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk moves to help Ankos with the log.*

[12:30] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe slings his rifle and says to Ankos* "Need an extra hand?"

[12:30] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Sorry about that captain" *she says looking around, then looks at the cat* "Ohh bowls, makes
more sense, I don't think the cat likes us"

[12:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: ,,,,cat...of course it is a black cat

[12:30] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Walks over to help Ankos with the log, lifting one end rather easily.*

[12:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -chuckles- its a familiar

[12:30] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren palmed her face even HARDER now.*

[12:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: a witch's aid in the form of a cat..often a demon

[12:30] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos, with the help, moves the log cloeser to the cauldron to make a bench.*

[12:31] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "There we go, ma'am hostess, we have a bench."

[12:31] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -collects the bowls with Carina and nods to her - Shall we?

[12:31] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "So, witch, what is it you do around here when your not planning for guests?"

[12:31] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone calls out to though house -> Don;t mind Minerva!

[12:31] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -eyes Minerva-

[12:32] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren just moved over to sit on the log, looking thoroughly annoyed.*

[12:32] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -stops=

[12:32] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Really? ...Minerva... -calls outside- really?

[12:32] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *checks a number of the bowls as well* "Yeah, I am right behind you" *she raises an eyebrow at
the cat* "The cat is Minerva?" *she calls back*

[12:32] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -what could pass as the kitchen has sveral wooden bowls and spoons-

[12:33] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Oh...spoons...-collects the wooden spoons- for the BowEls

[12:33] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> You see anything else in there name Minerva, child?

[12:33] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -still eyes Minerva-

[12:33] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "...Why do you all react like that to the name Minerva?"

[12:33] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Sure thing" *gets some spoons as well for them*

[12:33] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: No....the deep yellow eyes are a nice touch -deadpans-

[12:34] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -shudders some-

[12:34] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Captain? what is wrong?" *she asks in a low voice*

[12:34] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -quietly to the cat- You are why I am a dog person

[12:35] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Ehh captain?" *Carina looks confused*

[12:35] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone looks at Lonah -> Do?   Oh...a bit of this and that, yourself?

[12:36] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -to Carina- there is a reason I like Halloween Carina...-shake sher head- scares the hell out of me...this
is creepy...-to Minerva= You are creepy

[12:36] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Minerva scitters under the bed at Talia's scowl at her-

[12:36] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Me? Tell people what to do and shoot at the rest."

[12:36] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren idly tried to get her scanner working as the others were busy elsewhere.*

[12:37] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -stiffens at that- yes hiding under the bed so i can only see your eyes...that helped..-sighs then to
Carina- Lets get the bowls and spoons to the rest-

[12:38] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She frowned at it, shaking it a little.  Just in case.*

[12:38] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Yeah, lets captain"

[12:38] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -heads outside with the bowls and spoons with Carina-

[12:39] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: The bowls arrive just as the guys drag a worn, smooth log over to server a a seating bench.

[12:40] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -distrubutes the bowls and spoons-

[12:40] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos nods, taking a bowl and spoon, then sitting on the ground.*

[12:40] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *hands out spoons and bowls as well*

[12:41] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: The Crone takes a bowl and serves in a laddle full, plopping rather chunkily in...

[12:41] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: So...the raven...what is her name? -refuses to look into her bowl right away-

[12:42] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Sits down on the bench, resting the rifle next to her.*

[12:42] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Uh... I ate before I got here."

[12:42] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> help yourselves..help yourselves -the Crone it sitting in a chair no on seeming noticed was
there behind her-

[12:43] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -uses the laddle to fill her bowl and sits facing the old woman-

[12:43] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "So... how long have you been here?" *Ankos fills his bowl too, more brave than smart.*

[12:44] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Gets a bowl and  helps herself. Popping her helmet off."

[12:44] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> That old bird..goes by Crow -as she slurps her stew-

[12:44] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *goes to fill a little into a bowl, then sits on the ground with it, close to Talia*

[12:44] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She eyed the bird.*  "But... it's a raven, not a crow."

[12:45] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> been her as long as any can remember...

[12:45] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You did however never properly answer our first question

[12:45] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone _ Aye..that he is..but don't go telling him that.

[12:46] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You coyly dodged it

[12:46] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> What question was that deary?

[12:46] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I wasn't planning on it..."  *She fell silent so Talia could talk to the crone.*

[12:47] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Why the dimensional anomolies...what are you truly trying to accomplish here?

[12:47] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe gets himself a bowl full of stew and plops down onto the ground somwhere to listen*

[12:48] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -does try the stew...not looing at it..but does try it-

[12:48] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren pointedly looked away from Talia trying Cream of Vomit.*

[12:49] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos decides not to leave Talia to suffer alone and tries as well.*

[12:49] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> A polite way to get vistors come down to me. I figured it would be better than trying to
visit you, yes.  all things ocnsidered...

[12:50] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *looks at the captain and tries the stew as well*

[12:50] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "But why... this form?  I mean, I know it's the season for humans but it's a little, uh, odd.
Even for your kind."

[12:51] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe sticks his tongue out visibly recoils from the smell of the stew, but tries it anyway*

[12:51] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: *Sin carefully watched the away team's vitals on his console in a rando room*

[12:51] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "I like it." Either about the crone or the stew, she has little trouble eating it.*

[12:51] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -her antennae rise and her eyes go wide and then chuckles...taking yet another huge spoonful of the stew=

[12:52] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos heroically eats on.*

[12:52] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: This is delicous

[12:52] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Mmm.

[12:52] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk simply observes the stew.*

[12:52] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles down into the bowl and digs in deeper.*

[12:52] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: *Buzzes the door to the random room*

[12:52] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren observed as well.  Hell to the no to the HELL no was she falling for that trick.*

[12:53] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe scoops up a large portion of the stew, and eats it*

[12:53] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: It's open. *he called out*

[12:53] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> Form can be whatever I chose..or whatever you in fact chose..i do believe Talia agreed to
embrace my challenge...yes?

[12:53] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: *Flies inside and lands next to Sinez, hugging his leg* "Hellosies!"

[12:54] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smiles and nods- and walked right into every image...that makes me love this holiday...im surprised we
didnt see giant ants on the way here

[12:54] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Well... I think a nice dinner like this is better than when you threw the challenge"

[12:54] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Hey there little Skye.. *he smiled as he gently patted her head*

[12:54] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren grimaced.*

[12:54] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Hellosies Big Sir Sinez!"

[12:55] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone ->  So children..tell me what you believe fear is..and what do you truly fear?

[12:55] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: You're worried for everyone down there too?

[12:55] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Fear is a chemical reaction to certain stimuli that provide a threat to your person or well-
being," *she said immediately.*(

[12:55] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Fear is... the natural reaction to dangerous stimuli, more of a survival instinct. However,
it's also something that cannot be fully explained or grasped with words."

[12:55] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -waits for her crew to answer-

[12:56] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He nods to Eren.*

[12:56] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: *She nods*

[12:56] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe did not answer*

[12:56] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: Fear is an emotional reaction caused by the belief of imminent danger or threat.

[12:57] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Belief? I thought it was a reaction to a clear and present danger."

[12:57] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: You want to watch the consoley console with me to make sure there aren't any changes to their health?

[12:57] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Fear is a motivator...it allows us to become more than we think we can be

[12:58] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "EVeryone basically covered what fear is already" *she eats some stew*

[12:58] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: I was merely saying what fear was to me personally

[12:59] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Crone -> Clever girl..a deeper answer reflects the weight of the topic..fear is far more than many of
you children believe..both ally and enemy..waling with you always.

[12:59] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: *she holds up her arms so sin can lift her*

[1:00] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "You know what they call people without fear?  Dead people."

[1:00] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: I do not allow emotional impulses to guide my judgment.

[1:00] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Indeed Andorians have a saying like that Eren..'only the dead are no longer afraid'

[1:00] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -eyes Sevuk- ...Gwen

[1:00] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "...Says the one who jumps out of moving shuttles."

[1:01] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Yep... sounds Andorian alright."

[1:01] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: *he picked her up into his arms* How was your day?

[1:01] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk looks to Talia.* That was the logical course of action.

[1:01] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Bravery is not the absense of fear, but facing it"

[1:01] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Very goodsie!"

[1:01] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: The crones form shift into shadows and colese into the pale white Avyeni in a flowing black gown they
met before.

[1:01] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *swallows a bit, looking a bit uncomfortable*

[1:01] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "How wasies your daysie?"

[1:01] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I like this form better," *she commented.*

[1:01] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Hello again, Ma'am! Thanks for the stew!"

[1:02] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smiles and shakes her head-....did not see that coming

[1:02] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> Sssooo...Talia.  What isss it that you feeeaaar?

[1:02] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: *he smiled* It was good. Have you been getting lots of sleep?

[1:03] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -takes a moment and draws a breath-....on the table ..honesty? as we promised you?

[1:03] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "I sleepsie the recomendeded ten houresies a Azarai should sleepsie?"

[1:03] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Fear simply waits..expectantly-

[1:04] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Have you been talking to all of your friendsies here as well?

[1:05] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -takes another breath and looks just at her now- Failing....everyone and everything i care about...every
one you see sitting here...the other away teams..every one of my crew and my ship...I fear

[1:05] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Some? I spokesie to my mommie!"

[1:05] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: total failure ....

[1:05] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -Fear looks over the rest of them in turn-

[1:05] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: I fear letting them down...

[1:05] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren shifted her jaw some.*

[1:05] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: *he smiled some more* Are you still sending her pictures?

[1:06] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: *She nods eagerly*

[1:07] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe gave Talia a sympathetic look*

[1:07] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos would look to Talia and smile.*

[1:07] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Did... you want us to go, too?"  *She motioned to the group.*

[1:08] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear looks at them all -> I already know...I know what you cannot give voice.....or wordssss...or
reaaassson too...

[1:08] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She winced at that.*

[1:08] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Even irrational fears?"

[1:08] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: It makes me happy, knowing you spent time catching up with your mommy little one..

[1:08] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "What did she just say, Counselor..."

[1:09] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah, sorry..."

[1:09] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "No, Mommie, Mommy was outsie"

[1:09] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> When hope seems lost...that is when the terror grips deep inside...

[1:09] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: You mean they were here?

[1:09] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I do not believe so, Ma'am, with respect... I have seen us fight on through hopeless
situations... and still keep it together."

[1:10] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "No?"

[1:10] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Its not the words that is lagging for my fear."

[1:10] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Go ahead Carina -nods to her-

[1:10] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Outsie?

[1:11] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> Something a dear friend shared with me..and I share with you in turn..the more you try to
control and conquer a thing...the more it fights you..and peace slips through your grasp.

[1:11] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Not home?"

[1:11] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Reminds me of my last date..." *She muttered.*

[1:11] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -blinks at that some and then has to smirk at Eren's comment-

[1:12] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "I fear loosing those I care about, I...I fear them seeing me as a monster, more then that I
fear actually becoming that monster and hurting them"

[1:12] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...Uh... Carina?  I don't think it's show and tell right now."

[1:12] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "...I used to fear apples." *He blurts out.*

[1:12] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Ohhh.. I thought you meant.. nevermind.. *he lightly chuckled*

[1:13] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Captain said to go ahead"

[1:13] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: She asked us all Eren...for our fears -nods to Eren-

[1:13] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "You thinkeded they came heresies?"

[1:13] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I asked if she wanted us to say what ours were... she said she already knew."

[1:13] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Yours I figured was..heights -winks to the science brat-

[1:13] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Don't be mean to her, Captain, she was very brave today."

[1:13] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She gave a mirthless twitch of a smile.*

[1:14] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: It would've made you super happy at least, right?

[1:14] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "Eren would you please get off my case"

[1:14] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "If you stop doing stupid shit I'll gladly get off your case."

[1:14] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Im not being mean..but watch yourself now counselor...dont taunt fear

[1:14] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Can we please enjoy the nice stew and our Hostess' company, please?!"

[1:14] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He then nods to Talia.*

[1:14] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -snaps her head back at the pair- Carina..Eren..enough

[1:14] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren shrugged, having already said what she wanted to.*

[1:15] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: "STupid? I am getting sick and tired of you calling me...." *looks to the captain, nodding*

[1:15] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos looks to Fear.* "Sorry, Ma'am..."

[1:15] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies? But third stagy Nymina do not oftenly leavesie the cluster at allsie"

[1:15] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "No respect for fear, tsk."

[1:15] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You two have a personal issue..settle it off duty....for now you will both cease fire...end of topic -looks
back to the old woman-

[1:16] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Why's that? *he pulled over a chair and sat in it, placing the tiny nymina on his lap while they
watched*

[1:16] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> Insssecuritiessss...all have them...all react when they are triggered in excccessss...

[1:17] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos nodnods.* "Some of us more than others..." *Looks to his feet then.*

[1:17] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear looks at Sevuk -> Even thossssse you deny their Giftsssss....the constant fear he will looossse
control....

[1:17] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Nyminas livesies in isolation in our comy protectiveely safe and lovely clustery cluster?"

[1:18] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Oh.. I thought they had some sort of cultural role once they reached the third stage..

[1:18] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: That would be a contradiction.

[1:19] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Sevuk...we get it..you cant admit to it

[1:19] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies?"

[1:19] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> We all are child.

[1:19] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -nods to him-

[1:19] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos would take another bowl, and fill it, going to offer it to the grumpy trill.*

[1:19] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She shook her head at Ankos.*  "No thanks, Counselor."

[1:19] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joseph was completely silent*

[1:19] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -to Fear- He understand...he can not admit it..that is his contradiction...he does understand

[1:19] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He gives her a soft smile and leaves the bowl within reach of her.*

[1:20] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She just rolled her eyes and didn't touch it.*

[1:20] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He then goes to take his seat next to Talia again.*

[1:20] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: We all understand this about him

[1:20] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Gwen most of all

[1:20] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "The Vulcan secret was kind of cracked centuries ago at this point."

[1:20] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *Sevuk arches an eyebrow at Sereya's statement.*

[1:20] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah. He knows we all love him and are there for him, though."

[1:21] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: They just are too stubborn to give voice to it

[1:21] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> I appreccciate the effortsss you all are making.....and those of my friendsss and sisters..it
is why I honored that and did not intrude on your Citadel.

[1:22] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: We apreciate that Lady Fear....as you can see...that last attack shook a lot of people up

[1:22] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Oh, uh, thanks.  Did you really have to make Ankos eat that eyeball-marshmallow on the Adagio,
though?"

[1:22] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> I know.  and no....

[1:22] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: *he chuckled to himself* Have you been successful in going to visit them?

[1:22] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos nods.* "Sickbay was... very bad, after the attack. I fainted twice while working, due to
exhaustion. Thank you for respecting that, Ma'am."

[1:22] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: ....eyeball marshmellow?

[1:22] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos nods.* "In my cocoa."

[1:23] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Okay that would have gotten to me too

[1:23] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies! In my thirdyest yearsie in academy I went homesie" *She smiles*

[1:23] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "It was very creepy."

[1:23] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You think?

[1:24] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> Ssssooo..Talia...what was your question for me...again?

[1:24] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "You try eating a marshmallow, having it crunch, and spitting out half an eyeball..."

[1:24] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -shakes her head- No Milady...I understand now...you answered it...very elegantly i might add

[1:24] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Ankos...who are you talking to?

[1:25] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: *he ruffled her hair lightly*Did they have a big dinner for you?

[1:25] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Nobody in general.. just venting out my unhappiness with eating eyeballs."

[1:25] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "You know, you're not suppose to eat people in sickbay."

[1:25] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies? I was home for some weeksies, many dinnersies?"

[1:25] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -winces- Yes...thank you Chief...-chuckles-

[1:26] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> Then a boon for honoring your part...fear has played it part in the drama that has unfolded.

[1:27] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: a clever reminder...fear as weapon need not be oppressive...as she uses it....it can also be used as a
rallying call

[1:27] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> yesss..a way to reach common ground...

[1:27] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: to walk hand in hand with hope.

[1:28] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Lots of your favorite food? Did you like strawberry pizza then?

[1:28] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -smirks to Lonah- and then show her that fear can be used against her ..right chief?

[1:28] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> You asked myy name for the one you called Lady Dark...yesssss?

[1:28] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Noo? But Strawberriesies!"

[1:28] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles to Talia.* "Federation, Tzenkethi, Klingons, Romulans and Dominion working
together agianst the Hur'Q."

[1:28] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Yes Milady

[1:28] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Our fear united us, in a way."

[1:29] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -nods to Ankos- That is did

[1:29] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> I call her my daughter.

[1:29] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Nods to Talia, putting her bowl aside.*

[1:29] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos tilts his head to Fear at that.*

[1:29] [DOIC2] Carina Winther@awendra: *blinks looking at Fear*

[1:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Of course...

[1:30] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -nods-

[1:32] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: No whipped cream on them?

[1:32] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "That too? But I did not havesie many with me back homesies?"

[1:33] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos eats his stew, looking curiously at Fear.*

[1:35] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren raised her brows.*  "Huh.  So that makes you..."

[1:36] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "...Yep."

[1:36] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear starts to shift back into shadows which wisk away in random directions..all that is left is ane
echoiing whisper...

[1:36] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: That's good.. you deserve all the strawberries.

[1:37] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: Fear -> True peaccceee ccomesss form acccpetanccce....true courage from embraccccccing and working with
our fearsssss...

[1:37] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "I do not thinksie I can eatsie all the strawberrisies?"

[1:38] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: With that the crew if left alone in the cleaing in the woods...

[1:38] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -stands slowly as she hears that last whisper=

[1:38] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "...I swear, if the world falls out from under us and we start falling just because of this damn
phobia of heights I'm going to rage."

[1:38] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Snaps her helmet back on and picks up the rifle.* "Interesting chat."

[1:38] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed. And damn good stew."

[1:39] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren checked her wrist sensor in case it looked like anything legible now that the woods witch
was gone.*

[1:39] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Well you can share with us?

[1:40] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: Fascinating.

[1:40] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "I thinksies ma'am Captain Talia will be bitsie unhappysies if I fillsies ship of musicy music super duper
full of strawberrysies?"

[1:40] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Eloquent and inspiring as always, Mister Sevuk."

[1:40] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "He's charming in his own way!"

[1:41] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Why not? It's fruit.

[1:42] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "It would be hardsies to fly anywheresies if all the roomsies and coridorses is super full with
strawberrieses?"

[1:45] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "So, uh... should we show ourselves out?"

[1:45] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "How many of you actually understood what she was saying?"

[1:45] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [give me a sec all]

[1:45] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I understood... parts."

[1:45] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "What's there to misunderstand?"

[1:45] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: *he smiled* Yes.. yes it would. Maybe you're right.. maybe we should just designate a small area for
your strawberries.

[1:46] [DOIC2] Joseph@tekken#5904: "I think I got it...kind of..."

[1:46] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Not much... I just... need some time to proccess what she last said."

[1:47] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: *She nods*

[1:49] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *Shrugs her shoulders.*

[1:50] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I'm..." *He sighs.* "Just glad it wasn't what we feared. There has been too much death so close
to home recently."

[1:51] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Sevuk try and raise the shuttle...Eren..verify that the anomolies have ceased

[1:51] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "More to come. This is not over, not by a long shot."

[1:51] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Course not. But small moments of peace are to be cherished."

[1:51] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: They're still doing good though..

[1:52] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: *She nods aeagerly and hugs herself to Sinez, idly batting her wings*

[1:52] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: =^= Sevuk to Adagio Shuttlecraft One

[1:52] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: You people do understand who that was yes?

[1:53] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Who we just met? -powers down her bracers-

[1:53] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: -no shuttlecraft one replies-

[1:53] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Everyone who was paying attention did, I think..."

[1:53] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I do..."

[1:53] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "She's nice."

[1:53] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: and you understand what that implies about our big bad?

[1:54] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "How about you say it for the kids in back?"

[1:54] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I think only like three of us did the full pilgrimage."

[1:54] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -eyes Eren a moment- That is what the Dark is trying to be...and failing

[1:55] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: No response, captain.

[1:55] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: The thing...the Dark....is her child?

[1:55] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Almost reminds me of a puberty temper tantrum sometimes."

[1:55] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren nodded.*  "I can relate..."

[1:55] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Hrm.. Let me try if I can call the pilot telepathically." *He tries to find the pilot's mind.*

[1:55] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: No....there is more to it than that...not a tantrum...

[1:56] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren had a dark look, avoiding anyone else's gaze.*

[1:56] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: More like....pain and betrayal...a rememant from a battle or war

[1:56] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "She... when she talked to me. I... kind of picked that up. But I didn't know if it was true."

[1:56] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: That means...what she was saying...she was trying to show us how to reach her daughter

[1:57] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "When her daughter talked to me, I mean.' *He then looks to Eren for a moment, sighing.*

[1:57] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: and maybe someday...end this mess

[1:57] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "By embracing our fears?"

[1:57] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: No eren

[1:57] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: But it might be as easy as getting the Dark to face hers

[1:57] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: They'll be alright little one..

[1:57] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies!"

[1:57] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren let out a soft breath.*

[1:58] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Perhaps.."

[1:58] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: The more we see a foe.,,,the greater chance...that foe appears

[1:58] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Atleast that is paraphrasing

[1:59] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Lonah...lets get this gaggle back to the LZ...see if we have better luck raising the Firebrand

[2:00] [DOIC2] Xaelei@Arnimane: Xaelei -> We undoubtly will have better luck than trying to raise some shuttle craft one...

[2:00] [DOIC2] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: "Aye, Captain." Starts the route back to the where they touch down.*

[2:01] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "So, we're gonna be pulled up by ropes, yea?"

[2:01] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren cringed.*

[2:01] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: Yes...so holdon this time counselor

[2:02] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: You can give eren a big hug when she comes back.

[2:02] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: *She nods again*

[2:02] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: All right people lets go

[2:02] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I will, just..."

[2:03] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -nods to Ankos-

[2:03] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -Leads them back to the landing zone-

[2:03] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Nods back.*

[2:04] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: For expediance sake..the trip back to the Citadel is uneventful as the crew reflects upon there
adventure...back on the planet in the forest clearning a familar ivory skinned Avynei with her flowing

[2:04] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: Then we can all eat strawberries together.

[2:05] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies!" *she nods happily*

[2:05] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: black dress casually sat chatting with a familiar regal Avynei in glistening purplse armor..as the scene
fades to black and the crew arrive back on Citadel to off duty hours

[2:05] [DOIC] Xaelei@Arnimane: -so everyone is back on Citadel and free to socialize-

[2:06] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -has her people stand down once the ship has redocked and permits shore leave to once more continue for all
off duty personnel-

[2:07] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: -heads to her office to change-

[2:07] [DOIC3] Sinez@the5of435: *he carried skye around, in search for his gang*

[2:07] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren, upon arrival to the Adagio, immediately got her armour off, showered and changed before
making her way rapidly to the Citadel lounge for the mind-cleansing effects of alcohol.*

[2:07] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Eren... a drink? Maybe after we get out of armour?"

[2:07] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: (Or void that lol)

[2:08] [DOIC2] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos would appear in the bar as well, after a change of clothes and a shower.*

[2:09] [DOIC1] Sebetharen Adryan@Sebetharen: -has been here the whole time, drinking tea, reading PADD-

[2:09] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren arrived at the lounge, immediately going to claim a table by the bar.*

[2:10] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sinez had a tingling feeling they'd congregate by the bar, arriving with little skye*

[2:10] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos would leave a tray of spooky ambassadors on Eren's table, taking one and raising it to
her.* "To not breaking our bones falling."

[2:10] [DOIC1] Lonah@Gothicfoxx: *After getting the children gathered, cleaned, stowed and set free; goes to the lounge to relax.*

[2:11] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: You guys all survived.

[2:11] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I -almost- died."

[2:11] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Cheers," *she nodded gratefully to the drinks, picking up one.*  "More or less."

[2:11] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos takes a shot as well.*

[2:11] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Happily lets herself be carried by Sinez, idly moving her wigns as she looks around*

[2:12] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe walked back into the lounge, now finally in some clothes, to relax and grab a drink*

[2:12] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos slides Sin a shot.*

[2:13] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he sat down, carrying skye in her arms still* Thank you.

[2:14] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos leans over to gently pet Skye's head for a moment.* "Hey, Skye!"

[2:14] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren smiled gently.*  "Hey, Skye."

[2:14] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Hellosie!"

[2:15] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: She was super worried about you all.

[2:16] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Aw, we were safe, Skye. No worries."

[2:16] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "No? Ma'am Captain Talia and Ma'am XO Xaelei protecteded them!"

[2:16] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "So was I... we had to rappel out of a shuttle..."

[2:16] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She shuddered and took another shot.*

[2:16] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Damn right they did. Would have snapped like a pancake if not for the Captain."

[2:17] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he released his grip on skye some, just in case* Lucky people, you all are then.

[2:18] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali has been working, every night this week, since half way through beta shift, at the same table in
the lounge while eating dinner.*

[2:18] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren just laid her head on the table.*

[2:19] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Hops over to Ankos to give him a hug, then hopping over to Eren to hug her too*

[2:19] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren lightly hugged Skye back with one arm.*

[2:19] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos hugs the fairy lovingly, then lets her go.*

[2:19] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Helps Eren zip up her zipper*

[2:20] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren blinked, reaching to stop Skye.*  "It's fine..."

[2:21] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe walks over to Dali's table with a bottle of brandy in hand*

[2:21] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Oki dokis!" *She affectionately huggles Eren*

[2:21] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Hello, feeling better?  I don't have a bucket."

[2:21] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She smiled more genuinely then, continuing to hug Skye with one arm.*

[2:22] [DOIC1] Sebetharen Adryan@Sebetharen: -sips his tea and reads a new file, ignoring the whitenoise din of the room-

[2:22] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: -Winces- "Yes I'm feeling just fine..."

[2:22] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Glad to hear it."

[2:22] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: "Sorry about...that."

[2:23] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Is on a table of her own, further back, having a dinner with Cynna, one that she
hadn't cooked for once.*

[2:23] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Eren? I spokesie with mommie! She said I should sya hellosies and hugsie you!"

[2:24] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles at Skye, before looking to Sin.* "Miss us much?"

[2:24] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Oh, how lovely, Skye.  Give her my best from me next time you speak to her."

[2:24] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I've seen worse.. sit if you like."

[2:24] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *He sat down* "Wanta drink? *He held up a bottle of brandy and a glass*

[2:25] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: I worried about you guys, yes.

[2:25] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She eyed Sin and Ankos before taking another shot.*

[2:25] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I will tellsie her!"

[2:26] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he leaned back in his chair, eyeing the other trill briefly*

[2:26] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Actually, I have a drink. *she gestures to her tea* but I appreciate the offer."

[2:26] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "You can talksie with her if you likesie, next time I can do super-call?"

[2:26] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Uh, sure, if I'm around when you do it."

[2:26] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she nods*

[2:27] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Well, you do anything interesting on the ship while we were doing... all that?"

[2:27] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Talkingsies with Mommie!"

[2:28] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *He set the brandy down on the table and poured himself a glass* "Well it's here if you want it..."

[2:28] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Nope, just playing overwatch..

[2:28] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *is working with a holographic display above a tablet sized PADD, but with a remote keyboard hovering
on her lap.*

[2:28] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She raised a brow at Sin.*

[2:29] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: On you guys.. *he eyed Eren* Watching over your lifesigns?

[2:29] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm sure you understand, I've sort of promised myself to not drink and keep my focus.  Till this
project is done."

[2:29] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Oh, just... weird way of putting it."  *She shrugged.*

[2:30] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *She affectionately keeps cuddeling against Eren, passively sharing her feelings*

[2:30] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: "What project, if I might ask?"

[2:30] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She smiled slightly.*

[2:32] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: I knew she'd help.. *he eyed the shot in front of him*

[2:32] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Understanding one of the weapons of the dark, it's a .. insidious tool, but I need to find a
biological way to fight it."

[2:32] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She shrugged.*  "Eh... I might call it an early night, truth be told."

[2:33] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: "What weapon?"

[2:33] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: ""wishysie me to followsie you?"

[2:34] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She smiled at Skye.*  "It's fine, you should stay and enjoy your night.  I'm just tired."

[2:34] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "The one they attacked us with recently.. you had it in your stomach."

[2:34] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I am tiny bitsie sleepysie too" *she yawns, stretching her wings and one arm, the other arm covering her
mouth*

[2:35] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles at the cute nihcis.*

[2:35] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Sleep well you two.. *he nodded at them both*

[2:36] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed. And don't forget to brush your teeth."

[2:36] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe recoils at that* "Ugh..."

[2:36] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "You should go to bed too, then.  I won't be going directly to the ship though."

[2:36] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Oki dokis!"

[2:36] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She smiled, hugging Skye gently.*

[2:37] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Lovingly keeps hugging on to Eren*

[2:37] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Good night, Skye."  *She released her then.*

[2:37] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: "G-good luck with that project."

[2:37] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Good nightsie, sweet dreamsies" *She hops down from the Trill*

[2:38] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm 99% certain that you will not be ill affected, but until I understand the way it works 100%, I
won't put it down, you understand, I'm sure."

[2:38] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Good night." *Ankos smiles at the tiny nymina.*

[2:38] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "You too!"  *She took a last shot for the road, pounded it back, then stepped out of the lounge
with a swagger to her step.*

[2:38] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Gave Eren a smile and a finger wave from her table.*

[2:38] [DOIC1] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She offered a nod and smirk to Val as she passed her table.*

[2:39] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he gave them both a brief worried look* That bad?

[2:39] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *to ankos*

[2:39] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos nods, sighing.* "Yea... well. Not on the grand scale of things, but... personal-wise."

[2:39] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *flies up on the chair Eren had occupied and sits down, dangeling her legs*

[2:40] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Oh. *he smiled down toward Skye*

[2:40] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Do you want anything to eat or drink, Skye?" *Ankos slams down a shot after his question*

[2:40] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I am oki dokisies!"

[2:41] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Sure thing. Enjoying your leave so far, apart from talking to your Mommies?"

[2:42] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe downs his glass of brandy and gets up*

[2:42] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies!" *she nods happily*

[2:42] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Glad to hear, we all needed it... Hell, I didn't realize how much I missed Ynera while we were
with the avynei."

[2:43] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: "Well, good luck with that project...Miss...?"

[2:43] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Didn't I tell you that.. a long long time ago too?

[2:43] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren headed out to the beach holodeck, pulling off her boots and sitting down near the shoreline
with her toes in the water.*

[2:44] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "You did. But hearing it is one thing, and experiencing it is way too different."

[2:44] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Dahlia is fine, better to meet you like this.*she smiles* Doctor Dahlia Delancey."

[2:45] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] *Was just climbing out of the water, offering Eren a nod, trademark pink short shorts
still there.*

[2:45] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] =walks by the lounge with a big 'ghost' figure that is carrying a pumpkin pail to put candy
into...the ghost is slightly bigger than she is-

[2:45] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Least I warned you. *he chuckled*

[2:45] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: "Yeah, better like this, Dahlia."

[2:45] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Nine, Dear, do you need 'elp?" *She calls out*

[2:45] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  *She was walking behind Nine with a giant inflatable spooky skull.*

[2:45] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Smiled softly at the spookyzoid proccession*

[2:46] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] -calls back= It is okay Miss Val we got this! -nodnods to Az-

[2:46] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren cracked a slight smirk and nodded back to T'Ghor.*

[2:46] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren cracked a slight smirk and nodded back to T'Ghor.*

[2:46] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "You know 'ow to call me if you need 'elp."

[2:46] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos grins to Sin.* "When have I listened to warnings?"

[2:46] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  *She nodded back at Nine firmly.*  "I hope Ott got the gummy bats!"

[2:47] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [T'Ghor] *Plops down on his beachtowel nearby, cracking open a beer and enjoying the small
moment of reprieve from work he stole for himself.*

[2:47] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] and the Three Mousekateers bars! -nodnods-

[2:47] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "And the pieces of Reese!"

[2:47] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] *had rushed back for the three mousketeers bars before meeting them all*

[2:47] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Lays sunbathing on a beachbed, looking up her PADD for a moment she offers the otehr Trill a
fingerewave*

[2:48] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] Yes and the Corn Candy! -adjusting her big tall ghost as the walk-

[2:48] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *Joe pours himself another glass for the road* "And the last name...it was Darox."

[2:48] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: I think we sometimes need to plug up one of your ear canals a bit so the warnings bounce around a
little.

[2:48] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Eh. Maybe not that bad an idea."

[2:48] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] *he stopped again and went back for the candy corn*

[2:48] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Glad to meet you again Joseph Darox."

[2:49] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She offered Zee a light wave, wiggling her toes in the water.*

[2:49] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Happily waves to Nine and Az*

[2:49] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: "Glad to meet you too, Dahlia Delancey."

[2:49] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: *David is behind the two, carrying a very large pumpkin.*

[2:49] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Would wait for Cynna to have finished her dinner, before slipping her some mini candy
bars she had swiped earlier without Cynna's knowledge.*

[2:49] [DOIC6] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] *aand he brought along a chocolate cake that looked like a big giant spider*

[2:49] [DOIC1] Joseph@tekken#5904: *He walked off, leaving that bottle of brandy there for anyone who wanted it*

[2:50] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  *She waved rapidly at Skye, almost dropping her spooky skull and stumbling to catch it.*
"Oops!"

[2:51] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: [Allen] Careful.

[2:51] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Turns to see who Az was waving at, and gives the tiny being a loving smile and a
wave.*

[2:51] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] *had appeared, carrying a big box of candy along with a cake* I'm here!

[2:51] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] =waves to Skye from behind the figure making it seem like the big ghostie was waving to Skye-

[2:51] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "Good job, Ott!"  *She continued onward toward the transporters.*

[2:52] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] Oooo crab cake!

[2:52] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] Spider cake!

[2:52] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Val would give all the other zoids telepathic greetings, finding it easier than waving*

[2:52] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] You got two cakes??!!!!

[2:52] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "It's not actually made of spiders, is it?"

[2:52] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: You want some strawberries skye?

[2:53] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] No silly az!

[2:53] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "Just making sure!"

[2:53] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] *he ignored Val*

[2:53] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] -eyes the cake=....so that is a spider?

[2:53] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] It's a cake in the shape of a spirder?

[2:53] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yes pleasies!"

[2:54] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: [Allen] It is not real.

[2:54] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Ankos.. any food?

[2:54] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] ,,,,you bought a fake cake??? why?

[2:54] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "Of course it's real, David, we're looking right at it!"

[2:54] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "No ,thanks, I ate on the away team."

[2:54] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] Why would someone by a fake cake?

[2:54] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Hops up and flies over to Dalli*

[2:54] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] Noo nine, it's a real cake.. just in the shape of a spider!

[2:54] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "Is this the 'trick' part of 'trick or treat?'"

[2:55] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "Ohhhh, so it is a treat."

[2:55] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine[ David said it was a fake cake

[2:55] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Hellosies ma'am doctor!"

[2:55] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] David!?

[2:55] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Looks saddened by the fact Ott ignored her*

[2:55] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] You're not making this any easier!

[2:55] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali looks up from the data she is reading and blinks* "Um.. hello there."

[2:56] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *Sinez nodded before getting up, glancing over to where the little one ran off to before he placed the
order for strawberries with whipped cream*

[2:56] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "There is only one way to determine if the cake is real."

[2:56] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] We must do the swiping of the finger?

[2:56] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Thanksies for helpsying Eirene! And for savingsies the mean-not so mean shadowly shadows!"

[2:56] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "No, we must eat the cake!"

[2:56] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Chuckles at something.*

[2:57] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] Uhm.. I forgot the utensils..

[2:57] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] But is the cake for eating??

[2:57] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Mrgh..."  *Eren got up then, stripping down to her underwear and heading out into the water.*

[2:58] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] It is for eating. *he nodded*

[2:58] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Looks over her PADD to follow the Trill with her eyes*

[2:59] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: [Allen] It is for eating once it arrives at its destination.

[2:59] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "We're taking it to New New Betazed!"

[3:00] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: ]Nine] Okies so this is a fake cake thatis for eating so it is a real cake in disquise then?

[3:00] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "And who are you?" *she says to Skye, the kind of smile might be considered condiscending.*

[3:00] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he brought the shared order of strawberries back to Skye's new table* Come Ankos.

[3:01] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos stand up to join them.*

[3:01] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Happily bats her wings* "I am Skye!"

[3:01] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] Noo it's a real cake in the shape of a fake spider!

[3:02] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Strawberries anyone? *he showed them all the tray*

[3:02] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali looks around, seeing no one else is conscerned, she nods and say "I am Dahlia, Pleased to meet
you."

[3:02] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "It's a special cake!"

[3:02] [DOIC2] Sevuk@ClingingMars: [Allen] It is not a fake cake, however it is not a real spider.

[3:02] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I'm Ankos." *He nods to Dali, then raches over to take some strawberries.*

[3:02] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Whysies are you worryeded?"

[3:02] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I think it might be her first time seeing a Nymina."

[3:03] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "Which makes it okay to eat!"

[3:03] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Bingo.. *he sat down at the other side of the tbale*

[3:03] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *She happily munches a strawberry*

[3:04] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] You guys? I think Nine is afraid of spiders?

[3:04] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She made her way out to a deeper part of the bay, drew in a deep breath and plunged into the
colder waters deeper down.*

[3:04] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Nymina?  is that your world or what they call you?"

[3:04] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "But spiders are nice and a vital part of their ecosystems?"

[3:04] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles, letting the tiny fairy explain.*

[3:04] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: " Itsie my species?"

[3:05] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Are you from the LMC? I've never heard of you before."

[3:05] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Nopesies! Delta quadranty quadrant!"

[3:05] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he grinned over at ANkos as he prepared a strawberry for himself*

[3:05] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] I like spiders...i just did not know they looked like crabs

[3:06] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] I think we should name it Rizzwan Bartholomew Junior?

[3:06] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "I think they had to make the body bigger than a normal spider's so it could be enough
to be a cake?"

[3:06] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -enters the bar and moves to the bar to order-

[3:06] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos takes some more strawberries, eating calmly.*

[3:07] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he nodded at Talia as she approached the bar*

[3:07] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *happily bats her wings as she sees Talia, waving cheerfully* "Ma'am Captain Talia!"

[3:07] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Ah, never been there, had a lay over at DS9 a couple of times, but never went through the wormhole."

[3:07] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Hey again, Captain."

[3:07] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Bajory wormhole goesies to Gamma quadranty quadrant" *She nod nods*

[3:09] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -stops= Doctor...Delancey?

[3:09] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yes, I guess it does, you said delta didn't you?"

[3:09] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yes Ma'am."

[3:09] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she nods happily to Dalli*

[3:09] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: She did.. *he plopped a strawberry into his mouth*

[3:09] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] Looking at it is making me hungrier.

[3:09] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -nods to her and dips her antennae in respect to her- Nice work during the attack Doctor...we spoke over
the coms that night briefly

[3:10] [DOIC2] Sereya Eren@liorexus: [Azacri]  "Well let's go eat it!"  *She hurried off.*

[3:10] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Sorry, not that well traveled, till coming there, I was never more than a hudred and twenty light
years from earth."

[3:10] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Shifts between padding her PADD and lookign at the spot Eren disapeared*

[3:10] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Oh we did? I guess so, it was pretty, there was a lot going on that night."

[3:11] [DOIC2] Sinez@the5of435: [Ott] *he hurried after her carefully, keeping in mind the delicate packages he was carrying*

[3:11] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: When you asked for power to aid Eirene...but yes...wel done..-nods to her- good work Doctor

[3:11] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren emerged, drawing in a deep breath before she twisted to float on her back, looking up at the
program's sky, which had been set to a glittering starscape.*

[3:11] [DOIC2] Talia@Isis.: [Nine] -hurries off with her friends for cake and decorating -

[3:11] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you Ma'am."

[3:11] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Doctor? Thisis Ma'am Captain Talia of USS Adagio!" *She tries to help by making introductions*

[3:12] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you miss, *she smiles to skye*

[3:14] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Nommies another strawberry after dipping half of it in cream*

[3:14] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Ma'am Captain?"

[3:15] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Enters the beach hologram, unwrapping the robe from her body, having decided to take
some Mommy time in the sun after Cynna's been put to bed. She raises an eyebrow at Zee and goes to lie >

[3:15] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she picks up her tea, and looking around the table, taps a couple of keys to close down the display
and keyboard,*

[3:15] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -reaches for her drink with her artificial arm and sips her ale before turning back to Skye- Yes Skye?

[3:15] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Down next to her.* "'Ealing up nicely, Cherie?"

[3:15] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos is muching strawberries, letting the adults speak.*

[3:16] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she finds her small sized PADD and holds it to Talia* "Can you pleasies looksie at my requesty request
for permissionyness? ma'am captain?"

[3:16] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Permission?" *He looks to Sin, as if to ask if he missed something.*

[3:16] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *To Dalli* You get used to how she talks, in case you're wondering.

[3:17] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -walks over and accepts the PADD as if it were any other padd and reviews her request-

[3:17] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Quite" *she nods to Val, offering a soft smile before returnign to her PADD*

[3:17] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm sure."

[3:17] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he shrugged at Ankos then*

[3:17] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: I'm not a telepath.

[3:17] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Getting used to Skye isn't a problem. You start to miss her a lot, though."

[3:17] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -quirks a brow- and why if i may ask Lieutenant? -to Skye-

[3:18] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Returns with the same smile, her own scars not really healed yet. She leans in to
whisper something quick to Zee, before leaning back out.*

[3:18] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I wishysies to go to Artessia and thanksies her for... teh thignything?"

[3:18] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she sips her tea, with both hands, she smiles at the conversations.*

[3:19] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: Ankos?

[3:19] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Did... Mister Sevuk not tell you?"

[3:19] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -looks over the rim of the little PADD at him-

[3:19] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *she snickers* "I am quite certain you do"

[3:19] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: Ankos?

[3:19] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Captain is calling you.

[3:21] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Has been looking to the captain for a while now, but sighs.* "Yes, Captain?"

[3:21] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "I am qutie certain you are aware that I still need to do some work even when docked, so a time
would be... quite good, no?"

[3:21] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -smiles some to him - Sssssh...the Lieutenant is making a personal request and an official one

[3:21] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Our usual 'our? I zhink we keep it quite well."

[3:22] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Captain."

[3:22] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *He munches a strawberry quietly.*

[3:22] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Looks up at Tallia with a hopeful look, idely moving her wings*

[3:22] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -and then authorizes the request and hands it back to her with a warm smile- Go there and under escort

[3:22] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: I want Mac and another Dragon to see you there Skye

[3:23] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles happily.*

[3:23] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *is a little facinated by the tiny LT,  Especially her wings.*

[3:24] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -to Skye- You launch after they do..understood Skye?

[3:25] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *She nods, listening attentively* "Yes, ma'am captain!"

[3:25] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: You stay in full contact with the ship and Ada...and report to me once back aboard

[3:26] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he chuckled then* And be home before ten?

[3:26] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Oki dokis! I contactsies the station on the othery sdie to checksies in to? ma'am captain?"

[3:26] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -points a 'stern' finger at Sinez though winks-

[3:26] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Not a minute late, or early. *he nodded, smirking*

[3:27] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: Yes...Ill have Avernus control waiting for you with orders for an immediate turn around...Im sure Hecate
will know you are coming as well

[3:27] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she nod nods* "Oki doksies, ma'am captain!"

[3:27] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles at Mama Talia giving full instructions.*

[3:28] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Quite, yet I dare say I do prefere Monaco"

[3:28] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: Good...give her my best then Lieutenant and clear skies -nods to her- now anything else?

[3:28] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Monaco... Zen zat will be ze setting. Unless you mean you wish zose characters too."

[3:29] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I willsie!" *She thinks before offering the bowl of strawberries towards Talia*

[3:29] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *After some time she swam back toward her clothes on the shore.*

[3:29] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "I do have to say I thought of the story and the characters"

[3:30] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -selects a single strawberry and nods- thank You Skye...-eyes Sinez- Inches from a 'time out' Sinez...inches..chuckles-

[3:30] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Val looked to Eren, taking her previous handiwork in, before turning to Zee.* "Well, we can do zat, zen. I do say, it will not allow me to..."

[3:30] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -eyes Ankos and turns muttering-....she deserves it...

[3:30] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -returns the bar to collect her order and pay for it-

[3:30] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Inches? *he quirked a brow*

[3:31] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Flies after Talia to quickly hug her leg*

[3:31] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali looks around the table,* "So, I met you the other night, but you.. I haven't actually spoken with.. but seen you around.  I'm Dahlia." *introducing herself to Ankos*

[3:31] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Thanksies, ma'am captain!"

[3:31] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -chuckles and hugs her back-

[3:31] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She flashed Val and Zee a smirk before settling back down on the shore.*

[3:31] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Good to meet you, Dahlia."

[3:32] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Verily" *she waves to Eren* "Hello there, care to join us?"

[3:32] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I thought you would never ask," *she grinned coyly as she gathered up her clothes and headed over, still dripping.*

[3:32] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Smiles joyfully, projecting some of her happyness for a moment as she affectionately holds the Andorians leg. eventualyl letting go and flying back*

[3:33] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: Just be careful skye...you get hurt...and im going to have to hurt many many servants of the Dark...

[3:33] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Correction.. all of us. *he nodded*

[3:33] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "So 'ow are you doing, Cherie?" *She looks to Eren*

[3:33] [DOIC1] Talia@Isis.: -collects her order- Indeed. Enjoy the rest of you night all -turns and heads out of the lounge-

[3:33] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I might have to get a look at your ship if you carry fighter craft.. I've never even heard of dragons."

[3:34] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I will be carefullsies ma'am captain! Artessia and Dragoons and the mistresses will keepsie me safesies!"

[3:34] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Had an... interesting day.  One I'd much rather not repeat any time soon."

[3:34] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Oh she's a beauty to look at. *he nodded*

[3:34] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Ah, zat is a shame. Zere is always room for ze day to get better."

[3:34] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "There's a reason she's the flagship.'

[3:35] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "I am quite certain we can make such memories fade away qite efficiently if such is thine desire, sweets"

[3:35] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Grins to Zee.* "Great minds, Cherie."

[3:35] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren arched a brow, chuckling softly.*  "Now, who could decline an invitation like that?"

[3:36] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: We get all the cool toys. *he nodded*

[3:36] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Only ze dead."

[3:36] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "We got Ada too!"

[3:36] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I'm sure you'll find I'm very much alive."

[3:36] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Must be nice... but then again, .. wait, what is an Ada?"

[3:36] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she happily waves bye bye to Talia before munching naother strawberry*

[3:36] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: You brought it up, finish it. *he nodded at Ankos*

[3:37] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Zat much is known all too well to me, Little one." *She grins.*

[3:37] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Basically, ultra advanced AI. She's basically the ship's... soul? Brain? A bit of both?"

[3:37] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Mm, you keep calling that and I'm going to start making connections."  *She eyed Val.*

[3:38] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "I must say, seems your little wishes came to fruit after all, Chalons"

[3:38] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he tilted his head from side to side* Close enough.

[3:38] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *calling me that ))

[3:38] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Very well zen, Cherie..." *She grinned to Eren, before giving Zee a faux-innocent look.* "Whatever wishes would zose be?"

[3:39] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Were you the one who put her up to sending me all those pictures, Zee?"  *She asked with amusement.*

[3:39] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "And you, Dahlia... Citadel staff? Or are you on a ship."

[3:39] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "What pictures may that be I wonder?"

[3:40] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, no, zat was all me teasing you..."

[3:40] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She just smirked.*

[3:40] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "I may 'ave sent 'er an artful closeup of my vampire fangs... and a picture in my Jeanne outfit, ze one wiz ze cleavage."

[3:40] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "That's pretty exceptional.  On my first command, I had a LT that was working on what he called an Avatar system, to allow the ship to have holograms to represent her, self repair etc.  nice to know..

[3:40] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm the CMO on Pilgrim actually."

[3:41] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oooh. Wonderful. Good to not be the only medical guy around."

[3:41] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "How charming, I trust you neglected to send that truly -hot- picture I aranged for you?"

[3:42] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Aww I thought you enjoyed being special?

[3:42] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Her brows rose.*

[3:42] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, Cherie... I -did- neglect. Such a shame for poor Eren."

[3:42] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I thinksies everyone is specialsies"

[3:42] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Everyone is, Skye!"

[3:42] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She smirks and perka a brow* "Are you telling me the Flagship doesn't have a full medical staff?"

[3:43] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, no. But I tend to be the only one in my friendgroup."

[3:43] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: It does, he's just the one that has the a bridge spot.. *he paused* That too.

[3:43] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "I'm sure I've seen enough of our dear Zee to make up for that in droves, anyway," *she winked.*

[3:43] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "How msot unfortunate" *She smirks*

[3:43] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Smirks as well.* "I zhink zat what we need to make up for is more Eren time, nowadays..."

[3:44] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Bridge spot.. *she smirks* "I prefer my office to the bridge, unless I'm running the show."

[3:44] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Are you quite certain, Eren? Seeing Chalons here all up in flames, hot and bothered does have its charms I msut say"

[3:44] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I lovesies my bridgy spot!"

[3:45] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Laughs* "I zhink she is very much aware."

[3:45] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "The bridge is nice... but tends to get shot up a lot."

[3:46] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "She all but jumped me, after all," *she snickered.*

[3:46] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Me? Were you not ze one who couldn't take 'er eyes off of my chest on Risa?"

[3:46] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mhmm"  *she nods* "I've seen my own bridge take a near direct hit with a plasma torpedo.  I like my spot in the center of the ship."

[3:47] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *A playful, teasing grin appears.*

[3:47] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "My office gets boring. All I really got to do there is my legos or play with my snake."

[3:47] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "It's not a crime to window shop..."  *Eren replied innocently.*

[3:48] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Not at all... Come to zhink of it, Cherie, 'ow about some sunscreen?" *She says, half-teasing.*

[3:48] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Quite complaining Ankos, that's a good thing. *he grinned*

[3:48] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Verily so" *She grins*

[3:48] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Meh. Gets old after a while." *He grins.*

[3:48] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren chuckled.*  "On a holodeck... at night?" *she replied just as playfully.*

[3:49] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Playing with little kids toys does that. *he laughed*

[3:49] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "There is a feed from the bridge, two way.   Ok, sometimes I would rather be on the bridge where the situations are decided.. but I wouldn't want to play ego with the captain."

[3:49] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "You never know. What if ze program messes up and ze sun rises rapidly... I would 'ate for your aristocratic skin to get burned..."

[3:49] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "...Much."

[3:50] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Ma'am Captain Talia allowedesed me to commandsie the Adagio!" *She says happily*

[3:50] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles.* "Captain Skye D'Leina. Now that was wonderful."

[3:50] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he munched on another strawberry, grinning at the story*

[3:51] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I do not believe myself all that fit for the chair... for a variety of reasons" *He gives Sin a quick glance*

[3:51] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: Still time. *he nodded quickly*

[3:51] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "me nithersies! But ma'am captain guideded me!"

[3:52] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Now, I've been called a great many things, but aristocratic is certainly a new one.  Unless you cound 'Queen Bitch' as a member of the aristocracy."

[3:52] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "You have a great mentor."

[3:52] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *count ))

[3:52] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Cherie... I 'ave been carrying zat title proudly and nobly for a long while now."

[3:52] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she sets down her tea and starts sliding her kit away into a shoulder bag siting near her feet.*

[3:53] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Ah but sweets, I dare say that hte closest to Trill aristocracy there is among these days are the joined... and the ones doign all the charmign decisions"

[3:53] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren snorted at that.*  "You see this?  Woman things she can usurp me at every turn."

[3:53] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Chuckles.* "Not at every... I do not 'ave ze sensitive, beautiful spots, quite sadly."

[3:53] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "There is a lot about this place I'm kinda of lost about... your ship.. just looked on my PADD, she is beautiful.  No doubt."

[3:54] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: If you ask the right people nicely, I think a tour can be arranged.

[3:54] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, yes... It's a nice home, in a way."

[3:54] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Ma'am captain Talia is super wonderfll mentor, I am super happysies I get to do flybysies with ehr!"

[3:54] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Nobody's perfect.  And that's fair, I suppose, just never really considered myself in that manner."

[3:55] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Nobody is perfect indeed. But as I told our sweet Zee once, we are pretty close to it."

[3:55] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "We are the masters of our own realities, if that's how we choose to perceive it, then it shall be so."  *She chuckled.*

[3:55] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Mayhaps it is time someone puts our dear human friend in place?" *She smirks to Eren*

[3:55] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm not suffering from envy, to be honest, I think the Pilgrim is one fo the most beautiful ships I've ever seen.  Sure there is some room for improvement, but she is something to be proud of, sure."

[3:55] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: I'll see you all around later, it's getting late and I'm tired.

[3:56] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Chuckles to Zee.* "Oh, non.. she tried."

[3:56] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Flies over to Sin to lovingly hug the Trill*

[3:56] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he gently returned the tiny hug* Night little one.

[3:56] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Have a good night."

[3:56] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "nightsie, Big one!"

[3:56] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Night, Sinez."

[3:57] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren raised a brow.*  "You do realise that I let you, right?"

[3:58] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: *he released the tiny fairy and got up to leave* Night.

[3:58] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Of course, Eren. I am merely teasing."

[3:58] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "The Pilgrim isn't bad, but it seems a bit... small?"

[3:58] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Ah... so that is hwo it played out" *she grins*

[3:58] [DOIC1] Sinez@the5of435: night

[3:58] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "She's infuriatingly inflexible."

[3:59] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Nothigny wrongsie with smallsie?"

[3:59] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "MY first ship was an old Miranda, next it was a Nova class, Pilgrim is a step up."

[3:59] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Quite, Yet strangely charming in cuffs"

[4:00] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Chuckles.* "I don't zhink it counts if you whack me over ze 'ead wiz a chandelier while I tie you up."

[4:00] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "On the countrary sweets. I dare say it counts quite well how you look"

[4:00] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh... Those are absolutely the worst. So tiny and claustrophobic... don't think I could do that."

[4:00] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Well, I'd just be lying if I said I'd never had a date like that."

[4:01] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Laughs at what eren said, then nods to Zee.* "I do appreciate ze sentiment zen, Cherie."

[4:01] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "My firstiest ship was... The CASV Nimvan?"

[4:02] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "How big was it? How many nyminas?"

[4:02] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *Eren yawned then.*  "Mm.  Well, I need to go sleep that mission off.  I imagine you two will be docked here some more time?"

[4:02] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, I very much 'ope so."

[4:02] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I loved the Faraday, a Nova class, I was there for years, and smal or not, she was a good ship, I fell in love with her."

[4:03] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos smiles.* "I think I am spoiled by the Gigantes. And Captain Talia... She is lovely. But she also lets us... be us in a way. She let me learn avynei healing, she let me talk to some... >

[4:03] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "I dare say that any... conflicts to whom is tu bottom is quite unessesary in this case however" *She grins* "Certainly so sweets."

[4:03] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Particularly dangerous people... she appreciates our thoughts."

[4:03] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "27 Azarai!"

[4:04] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: "Then we'll certainly be seeing more of each other."  *She got up, pulling her clothes back on.*  "Mm, dom, sub and a dom-switch.  Might just be a perfect match."

[4:04] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "One made in 'eaven indeed. Rest well, Cherie."

[4:04] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, and when you see Skye, give 'er a kiss from me."

[4:04] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Totes!" *She grins, then sucks on her lower lip*

[4:05] [DOIC3] Sereya Eren@liorexus: *She winked and sashayed off to the entrance.*  "Sure, good night."

[4:05] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Gigantes? I thought you guys were on the Adagio."

[4:05] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *fignerwaves to Eren*

[4:05] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Ah, sorry. Been a long day and have had a bit too many shots. Adagio." *He then looks to Skye* "Only 27? Were you an escort?"

[4:06] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Grins after Eren, moving an arm to gently trace the spotted side of Zee's leg.* "As I said... wonderful people, you trills."

[4:06] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "The Azarai scouty core onlysies operate scoutyshipsies?"

[4:06] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Totes... or as Eren would have said, Spot on"

[4:06] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh. My bad. Does your rank system work like the federation's, by the way?"

[4:07] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Euhmm? We have a herarchy herarchy? Yes?"

[4:07] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Chuckles.* "I zhougt dad jokes were me and Eren's job..."

[4:07] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Skye, are your people part of the Federation or are you on your own here?"

[4:07] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "So it works the same way... curious. I would love to visit someday, should I be allowed."

[4:08] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Should Eren not seek us out tomorrow, I do believe ze usual 'our after dinner works
quite well for Monaco?"

[4:10] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I am the firstyest Nymina servingsies in Starfleet! We are notsie parto f the federationy federation, we
mostly live inside our super lovely and safe clustery cluster"

[4:11] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Totes!"

[4:11] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "A star cluster or something else?"

[4:11] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies! Protecteded by super protective nebulla and thingys and dark spaceyness!"

[4:12] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "nice.  A long way away?"

[4:12] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "What am I saying, LMC is another galaxy."

[4:13] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies! It is out in one of the army armsies of the galaxy, so very safy but very farsie"

[4:13] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, also. Thank you for telling me of zat wonderful trill restaurant. It was quite ze
charming start of me and Eren's date. If you ever want to wine and dine 'er... zat's ze -spot-."

[4:14] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "You should see an older Nymina, Doctor. Taller than the two of us combined, angel-like wings,
gorgeous, soothing voices, and so very kind and wise..."

[4:14] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "It is not a Tril lresturant sweets, it is merely a resturant specializign in actual cooked food
from real ingredients. they simply are having a Trill focus now"

[4:15] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Those work? I mean, can your wing support your frame here at our standard gravity?"

[4:15] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Is zat so? Well, zat is a shame. I am growing into a fan of your cuisine, I even wish
to work more of it into my own cooking style..."

[4:15] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she hops a bit and takes flight, effortlessly remaining in the air for the doctor*

[4:16] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos chuckles at that, lovingly enxtending an arm to try and tickle the little fairy*

[4:16] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "So you grow your entire life?"

[4:16] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Eeeeks!" *Flies away from Ankos a little bit*

[4:16] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Nope!"

[4:16] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Sorry, Skye. You are just too cute for words."

[4:17] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Firstsies we growsie, then we do nto growsie, then we go to evolvesies to stagey two and we growsie, the
nwe do nto growsie, then we go to evolvsie to stage threesie, and then we growsie, then we do>

[4:17] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: > not growsie"

[4:18] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Basically, Doctor, Skye is a stage one. She is still a fresh young Nymina."

[4:18] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I have to say I'm facinated Skye... my people have stories of people who look so much like you,
ancient stories of small people with wings who lived in another world."

[4:19] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "The legends are older than our history, which is .. recorded for thousands of years..  I wonder if
your people ever visited our world."

[4:19] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Maybesies! Beforesies isolationess, we traveleded a lotsie!"

[4:19] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I would hope they visited Earth. Humans are a bit weird, no offence, but wonderful! You deserve
friends like the nyminas."

[4:20] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Totes, I quite fondly accepts there are some truly grand dishes out there, yet Trill food has
its spot, mayhap I am biased"

[4:21] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Indeed. I still quite enjoy ze ratatouille I made combining my mozher's recipe and
trill veggies. I 'ave cooked it a few times now."

[4:21] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Most of the legends come from one of my anscestoral lines, a green island called 'Eire' or Ireland."

[4:21] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "I must say it was quite good"

[4:21] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh! Doesn't Ireland have the small, angry humans with the green hats and pots of gold?"

[4:22] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she gracefulyl glides down untill she lands*

[4:22] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos would push the bowl of strawberies closer to the fairy for her comfort.*

[4:23] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Quite so... 'ow are your wrists, Cherie? You almost broke zem in your struggle, I
'ave to admit, once zat wonderful adrenaline came down, I was a bit worried for you."

[4:23] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Well, it did transmute to that, but the legends started about the fae, a race that bears a great deal
of resemblence to yours."

[4:24] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she nods* "MAny many humansies who meetsies me asks if I am realsie, or a fairy!"

[4:24] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "They were always playful, sometimes tricksters, but viewing the world through a childlike innocence,
but with wisdom beyond ken."

[4:24] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "It is quite alright sweets, I ventured to the citadel sickbay afterwards, what damage done was
mended"

[4:25] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Good. You didn't show much signs of pain when I "regained consciousness", so I 'ope
it wan't too serious?"

[4:25] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "They sounds super nice to meetsie!"

[4:26] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Sometimes, but like all legends, they get used to teach lessons to children, so you can't believe any
of them are really true...

[4:26] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Pain is quite temporary, yet I dare say I was in quite some pain, deservingly so mayhap, the
rest of that encounter"

[4:27] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "but there is a core of truth to all legends, what got them started in the first place."

[4:27] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "My mothers are super wise!"

[4:27] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "I did want to make it pleasant, but Zeraphyne just wouldn't give up." *she chuckles*

[4:28] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "You have to understand, with the strange things I've seen here, I wasn't sure you were real when you
first approached me.:

[4:28] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I thought I was the subject of some psychic halucinations."

[4:28] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Hallucinations here are usually bad. Skye is not bad in any way."

[4:29] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I used to draw pictures of faieries when I was little.  Never any good at drawing, but my pictures
were only about an inch tall, so they didn't have to be good to look like something."

[4:29] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "It is okisies! Not firstsies who asksies me if I am realsies" *she smiles*

[4:29] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "It would not be quite as fun if she did"

[4:30] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, oui. But ze next time we do somezhing like zat, I would much like it to be out of
character, as I said. So zat we can continue and truly enjoy ourselves. More dangerously so zan on ze >

[4:30] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Ship."

[4:30] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I would dream of faeries to play with, so it wouldn't be a bad Halucination, would it?"

[4:31] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I lovesies playing!"

[4:31] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Not a bad one at all." *He then smiles at Skye.*

[4:31] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Would sink her claws into Zee's inner thigh for a bit.*

[4:32] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Why so?" *She smirks and looks at Val as her leg is clawed*

[4:32] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "What do you do in starflett?  I mean, you had to have been something special to get in, and you were
trained, and promoted, I'd love to know what you do Skye?"

[4:32] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, so zat no made-up characters' morals prevent us from it? Or we can make up
characters who would not be quite so opposed to it as 'Elene and Zeraphyne." *She grins, her claws making >

[4:33] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I am a sciency Keth!"

[4:33] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Their way upwards to the small, part of Zee covered by the swimsuit.*

[4:33] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Keth is an andorian word for family. It's what our captain calls our crew."

[4:34] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "And here I thought Helene was the character who truly did not care"

[4:34] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "A nice, concept."

[4:35] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I have a doctory thingy in astrophysicsy thingys"

[4:35] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "She does not, if it is a spy or somezhing. Not an innocent being who crashed to
Earth, lost and confused. But she does tend to get... carried away, during 'er... experiments."

[4:35] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *She smirks* "You do not say"

[4:36] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, oui... Zeraphyne better thread very carefully, poor being."

[4:36] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Impressive, I passed my courses, but I never moved on to learn more than the basic starfleet training
for that."

[4:36] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Astrophysics are confusing. Much easier to just leave them to someone smart like Skye."

[4:37] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I lovesies to learnsie thingys! I wisheded to study moresie but my contact contact person saidsie I would
not learnsie so much of the federationy federation and staryfeet if I remaineded at the >

[4:37] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: > academy place and so all the timesies"

[4:37] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Verily... Poor spacehoopla"

[4:38] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yeah, I didn't spend long at the Academy either.. just long enough to finish courses I hadn't taken
yet."

[4:38] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Indeed. Or who knows... maybe poor little Zeraphyne will eventually be broken and
corrupted into someone who 'as ze same dark desires 'Elene 'ides wizhin 'er."

[4:39] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "The msot innocent carries the greatest darkness they say, no?"

[4:40] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Indeed... I zhink zeir moment in ze bed was a nice start... or was zat all you?" *She
teases, and if nobody is around, she would move in to gently bite Zee's neck for a moment, sucking.*

[4:40] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I get to worksies alpha shiftsies on the auxiliaryest sciency console!" *She says happily*

[4:40] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah. Sharing the bridge with her is a higlight of any day, Doctor."

[4:40] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Her scans help me with my own work quite well."

[4:41] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Fantastic."

[4:41] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "I am quite certain you heave learned thine lesson to the dos of a public holodeck, sweets" *She
gasps softly*

[4:41] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "And I do flybysie with the captain!"

[4:41] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Pulls away, grinning.* "Oh, oui. But nobody was around right now, so it was too
tempting."

[4:42] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "And.. work the labby lab? And keepsies Sir Sevuk form workingsies to muchie"

[4:42] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos chuckles.* "Not even he can say no to you."

[4:43] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "You are the chifiest medical doctor on the pilgrim!"

[4:43] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah... She's the one responsible for saving all the reality stars' behinds when they get
shot." *He chuckles.8

[4:44] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Reality starsies?"

[4:44] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "There is a TV show about the pilgrim. Anderson, my roommate, loves it. I tried watching an
episode, but it's... meh.'

[4:44] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Oooo... I watcheded one eppi! I did not likesies it super muchies"

[4:45] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh? Why not, little Skye?"

[4:45] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yes, Chief Medical officer.  And I honestly hope that tv program is over.  Centuries went by with no
TV, but it had to come back .. eugh."

[4:45] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "How daring of you sweets" *She grins*

[4:45] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "'Umans 'ave a saying. "Who dares - wins." *She grins, going back to gently petting
the trill's spots.*

[4:46] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Becausies they are so meanie to eachother. and do so silly thingys, I do not thinksies they are
good prepresentationyness of the super lovely federationy federation and staryfleet"

[4:46] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed. But people love drama..."

[4:47] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "No.. I don't."

[4:48] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "There is a Trill saying roughly translating to... Grasp for it all, and thou shall lsoe it all"

[4:48] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I do not likesie dramaness!"

[4:48] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I happen to agree, the Federation is here, *holding her hand at table level* Starfleet should be here
*holding her hand at head level* Internal bickering and all of that, should never be what we >

[4:48] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Most do, however."

[4:48] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: represent."

[4:49] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos nods.* "I so agree. Sadly, sometimes... such is unavoidable."

[4:49] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies! The federationy federation is mostly super nice!"

[4:49] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "When it is unavoidable, it should be private, not broadcast."

[4:49] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "I did not grasp for it all now, Sweetling. Just ze neck." *She says teasingly, moving
her hand from the spots to Zee's hair, to pet it gently.*

[4:49] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *She nods*

[4:50] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Agreed. I still don't know why that show is a thing. Isn't it like... broadcasting starfleet
secrets?"

[4:50] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I have to wonder if some of that wasn't caused by the stress of knowing they were being recorded."

[4:50] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *She sighs plesantly* "Then we do have the quite eloqate... Pride is the sign of impending fall"

[4:50] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I knew nothing of these program before I transferred in.  But I tell you, if it were up to me, it
would be ended."

[4:51] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "And for good."

[4:51] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I do an azlog from music shippy to the cluster! It is kinday populary!"

[4:51] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Sighs softly* "I 'ave been zhinking on zat a lot mysefl. And what you said, ze
different meanings Pride carries. I 'ave to distinguish zem... but for now, Darling little Zee, 'ow about you>

[4:52] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Not zhink of zat, and relax?"

[4:52] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "A broadcast like that should be our successes and struggles, not about personal dramas."

[4:52] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "An Azlog?"

[4:52] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies! and how supery nice the peoplesies are!"

[4:52] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies? Azlog?"

[4:53] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: 'What's an Azlog?"

[4:53] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Show our best, what we aspire to, not when we are at our worst.  How does that possibly inspire
someone to want to be us, if they are shown our worst behavior."

[4:53] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Sweets, I do have to say it is quite a lot easier to relax when someone is not biting or
tantelizing ones erogenosu zones"

[4:53] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Azlog is... azlog?"

[4:54] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Not sure what an Azlog is."

[4:54] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I tellsies of thingy thingys that I experiency, showing video clipsies and photosies"

[4:54] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Is a journaly journal thingy of an Azarai, mostlysies useded for when the Azarai do her flyaboutsie?"

[4:55] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "And I makesies two! One privatly for family, and onesie for Nymina at homesie to readsie if they likesie,
to learn moresies of the federationy federation!"

[4:55] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, that is so sweet." *Ankos smiles.*

[4:56] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Azarai?"

[4:56] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Points at herself*

[4:56] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'll learn that stuff one day, I promise."

[4:56] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Firstiest physical stage of a Nymina's develoyment!"

[4:57] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Oh, I know. Now hush, sweetling." *Val pets her head, sometimes moving her hand
downwards to stroke Zee's cheeks as well, her other hand being used only to sip a drink from time to time.*

[4:57] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "It is confusing, Doctor, don't owrry. Time is needed."

[4:58] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Shakes her head once and resumes browsing her PADD, writing something*

[4:58] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Seems quite content in the small quiet moment, continuing.*

[4:59] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "So there are not smaller versions?  like 10 cm high?"

[4:59] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Newly new Azarai?"

[4:59] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Maybe babies are smaller?"

[4:59] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Awww!" *Ankos smiles to Skye*

[4:59] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Do you have any baby pictures of yourself, Skye?"

[5:00] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Yesies?"

[5:00] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Can you show us? I've never seen a baby Azarai."

[5:00] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "No? Picturesies are homesies"

[5:01] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Aww."

[5:01] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Enjoys her peaceful piano music as she works on the report*

[5:01] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Intersting question, when is your species capable of reproduction, what what stage?"

[5:01] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Doesn't speak, letting the trill feel her peace, just softly humming along to the
music from time to time.*

[5:02] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "A bitsie in to secondy stage!"

[5:03] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh! Another interesting thing is all Nyminas appear like humanoid females."

[5:03] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqPoYspKcoc  ))

[5:03] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Really, is that just apperance or do you have a homogenius society?"

[5:04] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: "Homogenious society?"

[5:04] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Homogenious society?"

[5:04] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "She asks if there is only one Nymina gender, Skye."

[5:04] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "A single sex, like Ankos is male, I assume, and I am female."

[5:05] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "ooo! Yes!"

[5:05] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Yea, I am male." *Upon a closer glance, he is also wearing very soft evening makeup - eyeliner,
mascara, a tiny bit of foundation and blush...*

[5:08] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Well, it was a risk, I know, but I took it."

[5:08] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *She nommies another strawberries* " A risksie?"

[5:10] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "It's quite all right, Doctor. I wear whatever makes me feel beautiful and desirable."

[5:10] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she smirks to herself then sips her tea again.*

[5:10] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "We have the mentaly mentaly thingy thingies, that is the clsoestest we have to genders I thinksie?"

[5:11] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "It's alright, I remember a bit of that from when I was younger... I forget what they called it, but
it was a nice movement.  Guys actually caring what they looked like."

[5:11] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: *Ankos shrugs.* "I got no idea what you mean. Us betazoids are just more open about it?"

[5:12] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Metrosexual, that's what it was.. damn.. I feel old, my memory is going... *she checkes her cronos*

[5:12] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Or, I'm just tired."

[5:13] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Whatsie is metro sexual?"

[5:13] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "No idea, Skye... not a sexuality I've heard of or practiced."

[5:14] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Straight guys.. manscaping, using products in their hair, for thier skin, makeup, and dressing well."

[5:14] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Chalons? What would you sought to be had starfleet not been an option?"

[5:14] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Like Sir Sinez?"

[5:15] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Hrm... Eizher I would 'ave worked in ze vineyard, wiz my fazher... or I would 'ave
maybe went into civilian law enforcement."

[5:15] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Basically, everything that homosexual guys would to try to attract another guy, but instead just to
make themselve feel good, and attract women."

[5:16] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh! I am not like that. I don't really discriminate between genders. And I do it just cause I
feel pretty."

[5:16] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Human datingy practiceses are so comlicateded..."

[5:16] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "so to make yourself feel good, right?"

[5:17] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "They kinda are." *He nods to Skye, then to Dali.* "Yea."

[5:17] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Why do you ask, Cherie?"

[5:17] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yea, Metrosexual.. I don't mind, pretty men are nicer to look at."

[5:17] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she cants her head as she thinks*

[5:18] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Naught important sweets. merely curious"

[5:18] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Mhm... I do quite believe you'd work wiz computers, even outside of Starfleet/"

[5:18] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: ?*

[5:18] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "And yes, very complicated.. one mistake and .. people's feelings get hurt, rumors start, and things
get even more complicated."

[5:18] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Why, thank you. I do love my appearance.

[5:19] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "That, or a professional dancer I suppose, mayhap a pianoist had mother had her say"

[5:19] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "You are very graceful. I Can imagine you as both a dancer and a pianist."

[5:19] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Sounds not very good"

[5:19] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Mistakes?"

[5:21] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she sighs* "You know, hug the wrong person, kiss the wrong person.. sleep with the wrong person..
that sort of thing."

[5:21] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Quite. of course mother had the ideal I should take up the practice... yet it was never
something that itnerested me"

[5:21] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "Oh, no... that is why you only sleep with single people."

[5:21] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *she sits down on the table and munches strawberries, looking at the doctor and the ocuncelor*

[5:21] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "I am glad you did what you desired, zen

[5:22] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Ah but I did not now, did I?"

[5:22] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yeah, well, isn't it kinda the person who isn't single's responsibility to say something?"

[5:23] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Whysies is that so importantly?"

[5:23] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Almost... and you are on your way to achieving somezhing bigger. So I am proud and
'appy for you."

[5:23] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Most federation species are monogamous, Skye." *He then nods at Dali.* "Of course?"

[5:24] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Because Skye, when someone is supposed to be faithful to another, it's expected they are.  Single
people like me are allowed to play, but if I promise myself to someone, I'm not allowed anymore."

[5:25] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "That really mostly depends on the culture."

[5:25] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "True enough, I'm talking about human cultures."

[5:25] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Though individual exceptions always exist. I am dating a Yanda, and while she would usually be
very open, she wants us to be exclusive. So I am controlling myself hard."

[5:27] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "how is that different than what I just said?"

[5:27] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "It's not, my train of thought had already departed, sorry.'

[5:28] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "That soundsies strange"

[5:28] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Quite so... Quite so" *She takes asip of a green liquid*

[5:29] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yeah, I should go get some sleep.  I'm off duty all day tomorrow, I should take a break.. maybe call
up a friend and go stay with her.  But then I'd get no sleep. *she smiles*

[5:29] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Heh. Good night."

[5:30] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Nighty nightsie, Doctor!" *She tries to hug Dallis arm*

[5:30] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Continues petting the trill with a calm expression.*

[5:30] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali gives her a hug trying to avoid the wings, kinda like hugging a child.*

[5:32] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: *Affectionately embraces Dalli, smiling happily and for a moment drops her guard, telepathically sharing
her happyness and affection before catching herself and supressing it again*

[5:34] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you sweetheart.  No wonder everyone seems to love you."

[5:35] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Sweet dreamsies!"

[5:35] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *she pickes up her bag, tips up the last of her tea, then carries the plates with her to the bar to
give back*

[5:36] [DOIC3] Skye@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Takes anotehr sip as she reads*

[5:36] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Good night, Doctor."

[5:36] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Good night everyone.  Hey, any suggestions for what to do on a day off?"

[5:36] [DOIC3] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Gently twirls a lock of Zee's around her finger, playing with it.*

[5:37] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "I would check the shops. They are truly well stocked."

[5:37] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "I liek to playsie on holodecks!"

[5:37] [DOIC1] Ankos@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, and that is fun too."

[5:37] [DOIC1] Skye@Illuice: "Like Ardendale or play Clue!"
