Protector 9/29

[9:03] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius switches his Captain's Log PADD to "On."*

[9:04] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *A -very- different theme plays tonight:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBWvGTY2o40 *

[9:04] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: The episode opened on a close-up of the Citadel, panning out and sweeping along the side to show vanity shots of the various ships of the fleet docked there.  As it reached the Protector the camera...

[9:04] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: slowed and coasted through the hull, showing the various crewmembers going about their pre-launch operations.  It traversed the halls rapidly before finally coming to the bridge and centring...

[9:04] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: on Tiberius Asada as he began his log.

[9:06] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Captain's Log, Stardate 94795.47. We are returning to the Large Magellanic Cloud for more patrols in the wake of the attack on the Citadel.

[9:06] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: By all accounts, everyone enjoyed their Rest and Relaxation. I have heard much about this... beach program which many crew members have participated in.

[9:06] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: In any event, we are now re-boarding crew and shipping out. Looking forward to getting out there again. End log.

[9:06] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Stuffs the PADD back under the seat.* Is everyone aboard?

[9:07] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore is hunched over a console in engineering, giving everything a once-over.*

[9:07] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Lieutenant Aloran was frowning at something on the display on her console, glancing up at Tibs as he spoke.*  "All my people are accounted for."

[9:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ACCI Online and all updates proceedng as scheduled

[9:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: All materel and persoenl are accounted for

[9:09] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The rest of engineering drags Bore to DOIC4 :P*

[9:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] All systems show green, sir.

[9:10] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore smiles as everything appears to be in good condition.*

[9:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: All codes updated...all encryptions in place

[9:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Tactical systems green

[9:11] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Excellent. Contact the station and get us clearance to disembark.

[9:11] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Bore is dragged once again to DOIC2. He's traveling through time and space.*

[9:11] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay hands Nalie a PADD with the final report from the repairs and resupplies.*

[9:11] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We are clear for launch, sir.

[9:12] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Helm, engage undocking maneuvers.

[9:12] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Captain, I'm getting an unusual report from the Citadel.  Seems that Ferengi bartender illegally acquired a docking pass for some unauthorised ship to come to the Citadel.  We might want to keep an..

[9:12] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: eye out for that while we're on patrol."

[9:12] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Noted.

[9:12] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *Nalie looks over the padd for a moment before  handing it back with a nod* Looks good.

[9:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Retracting docking clamps.

[9:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sends a message-

[9:13] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The familiar clang sound is heard as the Protector is released into space.*

[9:14] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Very good.

[9:14] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] It better...they sure took long enough.

[9:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *smiles slightly*

[9:14] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "We did our best, though... seems to have been worth it."

[9:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy's eyes go wide and she covers his mouth to stiff a giggle.*

[9:15] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *narrows her eyes slightly at Daniels* It would've gone faster if you hadn't been playing on the beach the  entire time.

[9:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Catriona?

[9:15] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *The ship kicked into gear as it took off from the Citadel, soaring to a safe range.*

[9:15] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Gosh. Good work, Helm.

[9:15] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah, Daniels, some of us worked." *He sticks his tongue out.*

[9:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Thank you sir...we aim to please.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "So long as you aim the ship in the right direction."

[9:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Indeed you do, Helm. Indeed you do. Take us to the first patrol waypoint.

[9:16] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] What? I spent some time up here...but when I did it seemed like the Citadel stuff kept getting in the way.

[9:16] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore looks rather creeped out at a scary furby appearing on his console.* "What the..."

[9:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Take us to Yellow Alert.

[9:17] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She raised her brows.*  "Expecting trouble already?"

[9:17] [DOIC3] Catriona@dardez1: -Turns to face Jad- Yes?

[9:17] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] How was your leave?

[9:17] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *stafgf

[9:17] [DOIC3] Catriona@dardez1: Oh, it was fine, how was yours?

[9:17] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *smirks* I don't expect trouble, I create it.

[9:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks back at this-

[9:17] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Restful...especially that holodeck creation.

[9:18] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy rolls her eyes.* Aye sir.

[9:18] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] =^= All hands...yellow alert.

[9:18] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She smirked back.*  "Just what you want to hear from your captain at the start of a new mission."

[9:18] [DOIC3] Catriona@dardez1: Oh their beach?

[9:18] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: So tell them to move. It's our ship.

[9:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Yes! I think that's what they called it.

[9:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sends a message-

[9:18] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Don't forget, this was a warzone a week ago.

[9:18] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore raises his eyebrows at the yellow alert message.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The purpose of this patrol is to secure the sector due to the possibility of enemy forces still remaining in the area.

[9:19] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: The lighting changes on the ship as the alert begins.  The Protector cruises toward the first waypoint, leaving the Citadel far behind.

[9:19] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Besides, I also spent time socializing...you know, bonding with the crew.

[9:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -corrects him- Eleven days , 18 hours and 43 minutes sir

[9:19] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *glances around* Where are Dalby and Snow?  Oh well. Wuzowski, check your kit and make sure you're ready for damage ontrol.

[9:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *shakes her head with a smile*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *looks at his PADD*

[9:20] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Well, Daniels. You could have bonded with me." *He says, sounding wounded, though obviously a joke.*

[9:20] [DOIC3] Catriona@dardez1: Yes it was interesting, I suppose.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I was, of course, referring to the weeks on Prexan V, which are eleven days.

[9:20] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "...Of course you were."

[9:21] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Blinks a few times until realizing he's Wuzowski. He sighs and goes to get his kit.* "It's Ristovski, Chief."

[9:21] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I didn't really see you down there.

[9:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -corrects again- Then it was one week, 18 hours and 43 minutes sir

[9:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Did you find any time to enjoy it with the Doctor? *She smiles.*

[9:21] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I was too busy being elbow-deep in the protector... Fuck, that sounded wrong."

[9:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: 45 minutes now

[9:22] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Ready for damage control, chief."

[9:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smirks.* Never wise to argue semantics with a Vulcan, sir.

[9:22] [DOIC3] Catriona@dardez1: A little.

[9:22] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay whispers to Nalie.*

[9:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: While that would normally be correct, Lieutenant, I am assuming one week on Prexan V while traveling at Warp 2.8, creating a space-time differential of .84 Cochranes.

[9:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Thus, from that frame of reference, it would be eleven days.

[9:23] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: What's wrong with *she pauses and glances at Daniels* that?

[9:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You neglected to take into consideration the galactic drift and temporal suspension through the Artesia gateway sir

[9:23] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Oh nothing...maybe you should get lunch tomorrow or something.

[9:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I will wait if you wish to 'google' some more...

[9:24] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir?

[9:24] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *shiftily looks around the room as he hides his PADD in the groove next to his seat* I'm not sure what that means Lieutenant.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Baker?

[9:24] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] That's good...you two are /so/ cute together.

[9:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I am picking up a very faint signal of some kind.

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Nothing I can put on as audio yet.

[9:26] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *rolls her eyes* Is this really the time?

[9:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Divert course, let's check it out.

[9:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: From which heading Catherine...perhaps i can help isolate it for you

[9:26] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] What? It was just a suggestion.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Looks like we're going exploring," *she grinned.*

[9:27] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Stand by...calculating...

[9:27] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: Save those suggestions for when we're not at Yellow Alert.

[9:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Understood...though I don't think they would be a good idea at red alert. *She smirks playfully at Nalie.*

[9:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -calmly and unemotionally- Up the airy mountain, down the rushing glen, we dare not go a hunting, for fear of little men...

[9:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Forwarding the heading to helm and your console now, V'Tira...

[9:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -readies her console to track and isolate the faint signal-

[9:29] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *glances around the room again* I do appreciate you volunteering to clean out the plasmainjectors.

[9:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Plotting a diversion now.

[9:29] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore chuckles a bit.*

[9:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am reading it now as well...it is at 267 mark 081...very faint...I do not believe this is of a natural origin

[9:30] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Oh come on...after all that work repairing the ship they could use a little lightened mood.

[9:30] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *The Protector shifted course, streaking off on its new heading.*

[9:30] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] The reports of activities occuring on the Citadel's holodeck are most...intriguing.

[9:31] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *gives Daniels a blank stare before looking back to her console*

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I should be able to get further information now.

[9:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Adding my filters as well for you Catherine

[9:31] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay shrugs with a smile and walks down over to Bore's console.* So how are you finding the Protector?

[9:31] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Roll for me, Baker and V'Tira]

[9:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -runs the signal through her filters for Ops-

[9:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Oh? Do tell Mags.

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Audio only, sir.

[9:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Put it on.

[9:33] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilir] Multiple security incidents, including packs of Klingon women assaulting Trills.

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy puts the audio on for the bridge to hear.*

[9:34] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *A human boy's voice came on, cracking with the strains of puberty.  One could almost hear the chin hairs struggling to grow.*  "Repeat, requesting assistance from any nearby vessels.  Our ship's...

[9:35] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore smiles.* "You mean apart from the crazy drunken nights and the mornings spent repairing it with hangovers? It's pretty good, the people seem nice enough too."

[9:35] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: been disabled by some strange particle field from a nearby gas giant, we... we've crashed on some weird jungle moon.  Requesting any assistance!"

[9:35] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya's eyes narrowed.*

[9:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a single brow-

[9:35] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] Sounds scary.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "What's a kid doing out -here?-"

[9:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am not aware of any civilian traffic out from Citadel

[9:36] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: A young child on a jungle moon, eh?

[9:36] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *tents his fingers* Engage the cloaking device and set course for the source of the signal.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "He said 'we.'  He may not be alone."

[9:36] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That's what I'm counting on.

[9:37] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *presses the cloaky cloak button*

[9:37] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *The cloak deployed over the Protector with a mysterious wooshing sound.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] We are on a direct course, sir.

[9:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Cloak activated, sir

[9:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -checks to see if any currently assigned Federation or Allied starship had a child on their crew manifests-

[9:38] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] That's good. You and Damian seem to get along well.

[9:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Approximately 30 minutes until arrival.

[9:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain I am showing no authorized ships out from Citadel...however there was the unauthorized vessel connected to the Ferengi bartender....that is as they say a wild card

[9:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Mhm. This could be related to the Ferengi.

[9:40] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "He's fun to be around. Makes me feel like a high school kid thinking up the next misadventure again."

[9:40] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya frowned.*  "You think that kid was on board with whoever smuggled in here illegally?"

[9:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Could also be a civilian ship not known to the Citadel.

[9:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The child might even be involved in the syndicate. I wouldn't put it past children these days.

[9:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: There is no civilian traffic fro the milky way as of yet Captain

[9:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We will reserve judgment until we can fully investigate the system.

[9:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -closes her eyes a moment-

[9:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal Grax is at the science station, attempting to analyze the system from long range sensors.*

[9:42] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Getting into trouble, eh?

[9:44] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] We are looking at a Class B star system...four gas giants, each of them with moons in orbit. Looks like the signal is from a moon orbiting the farthest gas giant.

[9:44] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Of course. I cannot guarantee bottles of booze haven't been placed in strategic places during the repairs."

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] We are looking at a Class B star system...four gas giants, each of them with moons in orbit. Looks like the signal is from a moon orbiting the farthest gas giant.

[9:44] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay looks over to Nalie at that remark.*

[9:45] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Time flew rapidly as they approached the signal's source.*

[9:45] [DOIC2] Nalie@Cuatela: *Nalie doesn't seem to notice or care. Either she's too  involved in her work or she's in on it*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Get us to that moon.

[9:46] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay shrugs and looks back to Bore.* Just make sure I don't see any of it on alert or it's your head.

[9:46] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Low orbit. Closer to the ground, easier to detect tiny people.

[9:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -rubs the bridge of her nose-

[9:46] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore whistles innocently, before turning and giving the chief a wink.* "Me? On alert. Nah. I'm not that irresponsible."

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Aye sir...adjusting course for a low orbit around the moon.

[9:46] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Something wrong?" *she looked at V'Tira.*

[9:47] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Good.

[9:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -opens her eyes- I am quite fine Lieutenant, thank you

[9:47] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *The Protector came into view of the system.  A class B star burned in the far distance, its surface such a brilliant shade of blue that it appeared violet to human eyes.  Suspended in its orbital...

[9:48] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: grip beyond an asteroid belt were four different gas giants of varying hues and ring visibilities, none of them much larger than Saturn.*

[9:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Beautiful...

[9:49] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] You ready for damage control duties?

[9:49] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "There's an image for the archives."

[9:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[9:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Initiate deep scan.

[9:50] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Ready, willing, and able."

[9:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Aye sir.

[9:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Dal initiates the scan of the system.*

[9:51] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Keep it up and you'll be given more opportunities. As you were, Ensign. *She walks back up to her console next to Nalie.*

[9:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Nothing of note sir, other than the exact moon the signal is coming from.

[9:54] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Looks like we've stopped at wherever we were going.

[9:55] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "And stuff starts exploding in 3..."

[9:55] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "2... 1..."

[9:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sets and initiates a bridge feed for engineer, sickbay and the armory-

[9:56] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Looks like the moon is habitable near the equator...I am detecting humanoid lifesigns.

[9:57] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Check your console, Ensign...I don't see any explosions.

[9:57] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Oooo!

[9:57] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: My explosion timing seems to be off.

[9:58] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran glanced over.*  "Our stranded ship, I guess."

[9:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a very real possibility

[9:59] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Too many lifesigns just to be one ship.

[10:00] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran narrowed her eyes at this.*

[10:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Native inhabitants most likely

[10:01] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Ya think?

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Orders, sir?

[10:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: If this is a pre-warp culture...

[10:01] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "This could be more complex than we thought."

[10:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I cancur

[10:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: concur*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *nods slowly*

[10:02] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Guess it's just me being tired."

[10:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] The only signs of warp capable technology is in a concentrated area.

[10:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Small enough to be a ship.

[10:03] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Not sleeping?

[10:03] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Mhm. Past few days have been work, work, work..."

[10:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Then this is indeed more complicated

[10:04] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Hopefully that kid had the good sense not to go bothering the natives and just wait for rescue."

[10:04] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Getting everything ready for departure."

[10:04] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( Sorry had to go AFK unnanounced :P

[10:04] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: All good. ))

[10:04] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We first need to determine if we are dealing with a pre-warp culture.

[10:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks over her shoulder at that-

[10:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Can we get a visual on these areas?

[10:05] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We'll have to move in closer, sir.

[10:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Make it so.

[10:06] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] The proper amount of sleep is important.

[10:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Charity brings the Protector's orbit within a range to get visual contact.*

[10:07] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Agreed. Should pay more attention on myself."

[10:07] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: The Protector coasted closer to the gas giant and its moon.  As it did so, they could detect an abundance of strange particles as they bounced off the deflector dish.*

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Woah...didn't see that before.

[10:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I take we have encountered the particle field the transmission warned us about?

[10:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Seems like it...the deflector dish is holding for now.

[10:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Seems like it...the deflector dish is holding for now.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *curiously studies the readouts*

[10:08] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Guess theirs didn't, though."

[10:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps an older smaller vessel?

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Do these particles pose a threat to our ship?

[10:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Reroute more power to the MDD.

[10:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Rerouting now.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Yes sir, If our deflector fails we are in danger, sir.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are we alright as long as the deflector is operation?

[10:10] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Deflector is seeing some serious particle resistance...funneling power to the MDD.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "I take it that a shuttlecraft down to the surface is out of the question."

[10:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Yes, It seems like it is not able to cause any damage to us right now

[10:11] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Excellent

[10:11] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Bore, watch the distribution levels.

[10:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: The particle seem to errode certain metals very rapidly. Kinda unnice

[10:12] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Will do." *He nods.*

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] An understatement...

[10:12] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmm hmm hmm.

[10:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Call it out if the situation changes. For now, we need to determine the tech level down there.

[10:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I would set a safety precaution that incase of combat... Torpedo use is not to be taken lightly.

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] No other technology on the planet sir...the natives are likely early paleolithic.

[10:14] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Interesting. How about the area where the call originated?

[10:15] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Should be close enough that we can outright see it, right?"

[10:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Putting it onscreen.

[10:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy puts a view of the original site on screen.*

[10:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Grax- Most likey hunter gatherers....stone tools and knives akin to the use of such devices as the 'Folsom Point'

[10:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Looks like it. The only sign of technology is extremely concentrated.

[10:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Right, they must have crash landed here.

[10:16] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: The screen showed a dense jungle with a high canopy... and a thick scar of land where a ship had crashed and skidded along the ground, scorching the earth as it went.  The ship itself looked...

[10:17] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: intact, at least from the outside.

[10:17] [DOIC] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: It was a small, ugly little vessel often favourited by pirates and smugglers.*

[10:18] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Wow...how did /they/ get here?

[10:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Looks to be holding for now.

[10:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Theoreticslly..they should not have been able to

[10:18] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Gosh, what an ugly little vessel. Any registry information for this ship?

[10:18] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Well they're not going to be here for long.  They're not allowed in this galaxy, we need to kick them the hell out."

[10:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =quirks abrow at the name as she runs her check=

[10:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ship's records show this ship is the SS Merry Susan, nothing on file about her crew compliment...however the ship is wanted in several systems for piracy, menacing as well as multiple murders

[10:22] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya looked up instantly at that.*

[10:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The...what?

[10:22] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. *Tiberius leans back in his seat* Crew compliment?

[10:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: That is quiet the record

[10:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Catherine as she continues her check- The SS Merry Susan Catherine

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Mary...Susan?

[10:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -dryly repeats to Tibs- there is nothing on file about her crew compliment sir

[10:23] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "A merry little ship we've about to send to a penal colony," *Vieya cracked her knuckles.*

[10:24] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Guestimate based on vessel size?

[10:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They are believed to be an independant pirate vessel...a note from Dera V on the pyschological make of her captain 'Extremely violent, caution advised

[10:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -reads out the hull specs on the small pirate ship-

[10:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Lovely.

[10:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I would estimate between 25 to 30 crew given the size of the ship and leaving ample room for cargo

[10:27] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "We could have them all beamed right to our brig, would be a little cramped but I won't lose any sleep at night."

[10:27] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That's a wise idea.

[10:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- a logical recourse

[10:27] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm not inclined to let them run about the ship.

[10:27] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Scan for life signs in the vessel.

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Scanning, sir.

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grax] Only two lifesigns inside the ship.

[10:29] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "So we're missing at least twenty-three?"

[10:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: perhaps more if their cargo was full of sentient beings

[10:30] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She scowled at the thought.*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Can we beam them up through the particle interference?

[10:31] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes sir.

[10:32] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay peers at the viewer.* What would civies be doing out here?

[10:32] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Beam them into the brig. Lieutenant Clerie and Ms. Vieya, have a chat with our guests and determine how they arrived here.

[10:32] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "...Aloran, sir."

[10:33] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Sure.

[10:33] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She shook her head and started for the brig.*

[10:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *gets up from her seat* Yes sir

[10:34] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They have been beamed aboard, sir.

[10:34] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "No idea."

[10:35] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Excellent. Let's see what our investigators will get out of them.

[10:36] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Are you okey Aloran?

[10:36] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?"

[10:38] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran stepped into the brig, looking to the cells.  In one was a boy of perhaps thirteen or fourteen, impressively lanky and skinny as a twig.*

[10:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...perhaps V'Tira and I could attempt to determine how many of our...civilians are with the rest of the humanoid population?

[10:38] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *follows Aloran, looking at the boy and extending her telepathy to use that in her interegations*

[10:40] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Make it so.

[10:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -dryly- there is also the wrecked ship on the surface to contend with

[10:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes...we cannot allow it to remain. *She nods at V'Tira as she walks over.*

[10:42] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *aproaches the boy, offering a friendly smile* Hello

[10:42] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *A human female of a fairly regular build and auburn hair appeared in the other cell. She appeared to have been mid conversation before being whisked away. She looked around her obviously startled -

[10:42] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are the computer systems still functional for this crashed vessel?

[10:42] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: - and a little pissed* I swear.. even when I'm stranded on a moon I still manage to have the worst timing.. *She pulled her pants up quickly*

[10:43] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "What are... who are you?"  *He studied the two officers in bewilderment.*  "Those uniforms... wait, are you Starfleet?"

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes sir...no flight capabilities however.

[10:45] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *speaks in a softer, warm voice* Don't be alarmed. I am Lieutenant Desiree Cleri, This is Lieutenant Aloran. You are aboard the starfleet vessel USS Protector.

[10:45] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *She patted her pockets to check if her belongings were still in tact while she went avout trying to find an exit, uttering a low curse as she realized she was in a cell*

[10:46] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Lieutenant V'Tira, please attempt to breach their computer security and download their database. I'm very interested in their navigational logs.

[10:47] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "I-I'm not alarmed," *he shook his head.  He seemed to be adapting to the new situation with remarkable speed.*  "Actually, I guess it's really good that you brought us up first.  Uh...

[10:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once- Aye sir -attempts to establish a link to their computer core and download their files-

[10:47] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: my mom might not be so willing to leave.  At least not with you."

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy leans over to whisper something.*

[10:47] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Awww? Why would she not wish to leave with us?

[10:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious

[10:49] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *scanned her cell and began to run her fingers along the indents in the wall, looking for anything that might help her escape. She occasionally glanced toward the sheilded exit, watching and -

[10:49] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] *He sighed.*  "She's... Maddi, how would you describe my mom?"

[10:49] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: - listening for the others who were speaking with the kid.*

[10:50] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: How so?

[10:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -plays the only file she has downloaded thus far and puts it on speakers-   [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFUjwj_RB5o  ]

[10:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It would appeared to be 'pirated' classical music

[10:52] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That's.... all that was on their sensors?

[10:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No

[10:53] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *she patted her pockets in fustration as she realized she was missing some items. She checked a few pockets and her boots as well.* Seriously?? Alright this isn't funny anymore..

[10:55] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( I mean their computers

[10:55] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *looks at the woman* Hello there.

[10:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I detect approximately 50 lifesigns outside of the downed craft...and 19 of those are species recognized as from the Milky Way galaxy.

[10:56] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are they mingling?

[10:56] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *she squinted and peered and Desiree as she shuffled around the cell* Who're you? And why am I here?

[10:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -as she works to break in further...the next song plays - [  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj69iA_goIk  ]

[10:57] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: I am leiutenant Desiree Cleri of the USS protector. You are here becourse the ship you where found in has crashed on a planet and we are trying to get you out of there... then some minor details less>

[10:57] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > urgent

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Definitely mingling sir.

[10:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am in...-begins to download their files running them through all her filters as she does so-

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smirks at V'Tira.* Enjoying their tunes?

[10:59] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *She slowed her pacing and watched the woman cautiously now.* Oh, you could disregard that. There was no trouble. Just a.. malfunction in the ship.. You can send us back now.*

[10:59] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: -*

[10:59] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran peered at the boy in the cell next to her, her arms crossed.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I have some fascinating data here...their computer holds details concerning their deal with the Ferengi at the itadel to drop off crates of alcoholic berverages in exchange for a falsified pass

[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: through the gateway....this appears to be the first system they visited...it apears they remained in the sensor shoadow of a romulan cruiser, which explains how they got by our sensors

[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: My theory is it was Artesia itself that tipped off the Ferengi's plans with the pirates sir

[11:01] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: That is funny hon.. However you crashed on a planet with an prewarp civilization on it and we can not send you back. the ship that you where in is also wanted so we would love to ask some questions

[11:02] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( hey lost connectio

[11:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [reposting]

[11:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I have some fascinating data here...their computer holds details concerning their deal with the Ferengi at the itadel to drop off crates of alcoholic berverages in exchange for a falsified pass

[11:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: through the gateway....this appears to be the first system they visited...it apears they remained in the sensor shoadow of a romulan cruiser, which explains how they got by our sensors

[11:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: My theory is it was Artesia itself that tipped off the Ferengi's plans with the pirates sir

[11:02] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "It wasn't a malfunction!  We crashed.  And I don't care what you or my mom or anyone else says, we can't spend the rest of our lives lounging in the jungle exploiting those people."

[11:03] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Intriguing.

[11:03] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We will certainly need to inform Citadel Station of this.

[11:03] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: i'm not being funny.. No you see, *She moved closer to the sheild of her cell* We've already established ourselves.. and to take us away would cause some real damage. So.. you'll need to put us back..

[11:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Sir...the Citadel informed /us/

[11:03] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The circle of life.

[11:04] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Can we safely destroy the ship from orbit without harming the indigenous population?

[11:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Sir....have you suffered some manner of head injury, that you have failed to report?

[11:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks back to Tibs.*

[11:04] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: You have made contact with the people down there?

[11:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Lieutenant?

[11:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The blast raidus of the torpedos not to mention the dormant warp core...would incompass the natives in the area and beyond

[11:05] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "Yes, but... uhg, she just didn't think it through.  She's going to get bored in a week and want to leave anyway."

[11:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Creative thinking, Lieutenant. We may be able to beam the warp core out of the vessel, for example.

[11:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Incinerate the rest using phasers.

[11:07] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *She tried to look out of her cell toward the kid and wrinkled her nose* Kids.. they say the darndest things.. Trust me.. avoid popping one of those suckers out.. He's just playing, thinking this is -

[11:07] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: - all a fun game.

[11:07] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: What do you think, Baker?

[11:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: In theory sir..this is possible but we can not fully guarentee that there will be no collateral damage amongst the native population

[11:07] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *smiles softly* Not the best career move nowdays. But please tell me of your contact with the civilization here?

[11:07] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "We're in Starfleet custody, they're going to figure everything out anyway."

[11:08] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *she made a motion for the kid to 'zip it'*

[11:08] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Listen to the kid.  He's smarter than he looks," *she smirked at the woman.*

[11:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmm. The safest way to remove this vessel would be to have a large, cloaked vessel beam it up in chunks.

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I do not believe we can ensure the ship would be destroyed to a degree that would ensure no further contamination without some risk to the native population.

[11:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Tractoring the ship would... well, be very obvious to the locals.

[11:09] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *she spoke in a more quiet tone* He's.. special.. his mom dropped him on his head one too many times..

[11:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Not to mention if the imulse engines explode....out f curiousity sir..you were at one time a tactical officer yes?

[11:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Correct.

[11:09] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: To ease any worried about you having a duty to your friends to hide some truths, I am a Betazoid. So it will not work. If it makes it easier for you I can do it that way. But I hope we can do it as>

[11:09] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > an conversation.

[11:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks to V'Tira.* While tractoring would be obvious it may be the safest course of action. Based on the deterioration of the ship, the impusle engines would likely explode.

[11:10] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *her expression changed and she took a few steps back, as if that would help against the betazoid in this instance. She crossed her arms and sighed in exaspiration* Look, we were kind of desperate -

[11:11] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: - Okay? So we.. *she waved her hand slightly* m-ade some friends..

[11:12] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Go on?

[11:12] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "That's an understatement.  We have tech that blows these people's minds.  They still haven't moved past stone tools yet."

[11:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Surely we could beam the impulse engines into space before engaging the tractor.

[11:13] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *muttered* You are your mother's child..

[11:13] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Once concern would be that this action will be highly visible to the natives.

[11:13] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: I can imagine that is a lovely way to be worshiped as gods, How many have you been in contact with?

[11:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Far better and acceptable scenarior as opposed to ..well blowing them up sir

[11:14] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I concur.

[11:14] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] *He glared at the woman and then back at Desiree.*  "I-I don't know.  There's a lot of them.  It's kind of given my mom a ridiculous ego boost."

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I agree with V'Tira. And yes sir, it would be quite visible. Perhaps...

[11:14] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "And trust me, she didn't need that."

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If we could come up with...a distraction of some kind at that moment?

[11:15] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *she sighed again, obviously perturbed by this betazoid.. obviously not a fan of a race that can cheat so easily. She snorted at the ego boost comment* understatement of the century.

[11:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps arrange a storm, seeding the atmosphere?

[11:15] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Good idea. First, we will beam the remaining pirate crew into the brig.

[11:15] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: I take it she has become a "Godess" then?

[11:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Then we will beam out the warp core, the impulse engine assembly, and any other volatile parts before we engage the tractor in the midst of an artifical storm.

[11:16] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: I dunno the numbers regarding how many we've contacted.. but let's just say.. a uh.. good handful. And they've been.. very accomidating. *she turned away, trying to discreetly take off some flashy -

[11:16] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: - earrings*

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sir...while we want to end their contamination as soon as possible...if they are mingling with the natives...exposing them to transporters is perhaps not a good idea?

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We would need to seperate them as well in some way.

[11:17] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "She was singing some song earlier about being 'Princes of the Universe.'  So not far off I guess."

[11:18] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmm. A faked transmission recalling them back to the ship might do the trick.

[11:18] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: What kinds of technology have you shown them?

[11:18] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Perhaps one of our guests could assist us with that.

[11:18] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Mmm, indeed.

[11:18] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Asada to Lt. Clerie.

[11:19] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: Doesn't matter really.. they just think it's all 'magic'.

[11:19] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Clerie here

[11:19] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: Oh, and some fabulous dance moves.

[11:19] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *She popped her hip and rested a hand on her waist at that*

[11:19] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "It's not funny... what if their entire species turns out differently now?"

[11:20] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: Tsk. They'll be thanking us for not leaving them behind to rot.

[11:20] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= We need to lure the pirate crew back to their vessel so we can beam them up. I'm hoping one of our guests can help with that.

[11:20] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: Hey! I heard that! We don't need none of that nonsense!

[11:21] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "They want to just beam everyone up here?  Just like that?"

[11:21] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Yes sir, They seem to be doing the old god trick, quiet charmign really. The ysay only a handfull of the natives has been contaminated. and I do think I have a very wise young man here who may >

[11:21] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > help us *looks at the boy*

[11:21] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] *He flushed a bit at the woman's look, glancing at his boots.*

[11:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Excellent. Have him record a message telling his friends to get back to the ship, urgently.

[11:22] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *she shot the boy a look* I should've left you on that ship a few weeks back.. I could've dealt with your mom afterward.. *she muttered*

[11:22] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "Look... I really want to help, but... my mom, my sister and my stepdad are all there.  I can't just trick them."

[11:22] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Yes Sir, I do belvie it may be more to this then just have the gods disapear however. to minemize the damage

[11:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= What is your recommendation?

[11:23] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *tilted her head in thought* Say..

[11:23] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya eyeballed the woman warily.*

[11:24] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *looks at the boy* Hon, I truly admire your wish to be honerst in what you do, but as you said so wisely, What is hapening here is damaging these peoples right to develop as they should, it must end>

[11:24] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > dont you agree?

[11:24] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: How's about we come up with some grand scheme to make a big godly exit.. and get us all out of there.. and you let me off easy..

[11:24] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "I think you lot have damaged the natives enough as it is," *Vieya glared.*

[11:24] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Maybe, I will return to the question in a moment sir

[11:25] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: hey, it's not my fault we crashed there.

[11:25] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: I'm not the pilot!

[11:25] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Do you have a Cameron as pilot?

[11:25] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] *He sighed.*  "Well, yeah, but... you just don't know them like I do.  There's a better way than tricking them.  Maybe make them think they want to leave on their own."

[11:25] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: That is a very lovely idea sweety, Please tell me more

[11:26] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *She sighed and wandered over to the bed and sat down*

[11:26] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] *He furrowed his brow a little as he thought about it.*  "Well... I don't know.  What if we made them think there was something really bad lurking in the jungle so it's less appealing to stay?"

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy quietly observes V'Tira.*

[11:27] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Are yoru family easily scared?

[11:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -continues to organize the aquired files from the Merry Susan's computer=

[11:27] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "No, but they know when it's time to leave a bad situation."

[11:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They certainly got in over their heads. *She says quietly to V'Tira.*

[11:28] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *muttered as she rested her elbows on her knees* He's not wrong.

[11:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...this venture was flawed for them from the very beginning

[11:29] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: It is certainly a lovely idea, Would you have an idea of what we should create to make them leave?

[11:30] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: a planet with no booze left? *She smirked a little to herself*

[11:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] A most illogical endeavor, wouldn't you say?

[11:30] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "Mom would be screaming to the heavens for a rescue then..."

[11:30] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *snorted out a chuckle* true that..

[11:31] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: That is truly dreadful! However I do not belive the Big bad booze hating monster is that realistic. How do you sugest we would sell this idea?

[11:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed..most acts of agreession are

[11:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Unfortunate...this would have been a fascinating society to observe.

[11:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Well baring them from being wiped out by an alpha quadrant virus...we may yet return to do so

[11:35] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "I, I couldn't tell you, I'm not sure."  *He sighed.*  "Just... something really threatening that they'd assume they couldn't beat on their own?"

[11:35] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] True...there is something that I am curious about.

[11:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Oh?

[11:36] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: You been super helpfull, I really apriciate it

[11:36] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The furry animal I saw on my console earlier...

[11:36] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *she shrugged, letting out a sigh* Aren't you starfleet supposed to be clever? Maybe some sort of old virus they can't avoid or somethin.

[11:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am sure i do not know what you mean?

[11:37] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "Just please don't let my mom know about this?  She really doesn't like Starfleet."

[11:37] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Hon.. Is it not clever to first ask the people knowing them the best before begining to cook up my own ideas?

[11:37] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy brings up the animal she saw earlier to show V'Tira.*

[11:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -plays yet another file- [  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pZoACglkRA  ]

[11:37] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Oh... Do not worry my dears, when your mom.. or anyone else asks... You did not say a thing, and where the msot truble some people I have meet. *winks*

[11:37] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: oh sure, ask the people to betray their own..

[11:37] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *Shot the kid a judgy look*

[11:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow as she looks at Catherine's image- Indeed? what is this Catherine?

[11:38] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] *He shot her a look back.*  "It's the right thing to do and you know it!"

[11:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] ...I do not know...

[11:38] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: This child is very very smart, I would listen to him

[11:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once- Curious indeed

[11:38] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Kid

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Do you recognize it? *She says with a playful arched eyebrow*'

[11:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow to her- Should I?

[11:39] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: you realize she left me an Moregan to die when we were surrounded by enemies once on a rooftop?

[11:39] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *still lookin at the kid*

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I am not sure...it looked similiar to what you were sending Athena.

[11:39] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "Look, I know my mom's known for some... moral gymnastics..."

[11:40] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *let out a laugh*

[11:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Athena?

[11:40] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *smiles some at the expression, thinking of other people she knows whos atletic skills in said category is astonishing*

[11:41] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "But you're the one still following her around the galaxy.  And this galaxy too."

[11:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Sharon...the Operations chief from the Orlando you competed with?

[11:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I see

[11:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.*

[11:41] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *The next song in the playlist starts:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS54zmuEY3s *

[11:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious indeed....and this is what you claim she saw on her screens?

[11:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Something similiar, yes.

[11:43] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: How old are you, Moregan?

[11:43] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "Oh, uh, no, I'm not Moregan.  That was her husband's name.  I'm Jaxen."

[11:43] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Boy] "Oh, uh, no, I'm not Moregan.  That was her husband's name.  I'm Jaxen."

[11:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I see...and you believe me responsible for this?

[11:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It would be a logical conclusion, yes?

[11:44] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Oh I am so sorry sweety, Jaxen. How old are you?

[11:44] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He lifted his chin some.*  "I'll be fourteen in four months."

[11:44] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *mutters something about balls not having dropped yet*

[11:44] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: You are really clever for a young man of your age.

[11:45] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I get that a lot.  My mom calls me a prodigy, but... she's my mom, so who knows how true that is."

[11:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No

[11:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a logical..suposition

[11:45] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: For all the faults of her, I do belive she is right there *smiels reasuring*

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy tilts her head.* Yes...a supposition.

[11:46] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He smiled a little in return, visibly relaxing.*

[11:47] [DOIC3] NPC@Mouse43dz: *rolls over in the bed so her back faces the sheilded doorway and yawns, muttering to herself as she plans to passs out*

[11:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bakler] Am I correct?

[11:48] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He looked over at the woman in the other cell and then back at Desiree.*  "They're all... good people, they've all just had hard lives."

[11:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No

[11:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: it was a suposition...not a conclusion..i just corrected you catherine

[11:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shakes her head once=

[11:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles.* Is my supposition correct?

[11:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious...i have made a...discovery of a personal diary

[11:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Oh?

[11:49] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "We'll be the judges of that," *Vieya frowned.*

[11:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- it appears to belong to a teenage girl

[11:50] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: We are not the judges, Our job is to get them away from there safely, do our best to decontaminate the incident, then any judging is left to federation courts *smiles*

[11:51] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What is her name?

[11:51] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Yeah, I'm sure those murder charges are all baseless."  *She rolled her eyes.*

[11:51] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: But I belive you hon. I do not htink someone with an ideal life choses a path like that.

[11:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Eriska Dontess...

[11:52] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: It seems unlikely for them to be baseless

[11:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Interesting...I wonder if it is one of the two we have on board.

[11:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am attempting to ascertain if she were a victm or crew

[11:55] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Jaxen? What do you want to be when you grow up?

[11:56] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Um, well I'm really good with the ship.  My sister and I got the replicators and computers working again.  We didn't even need any of the adults to help."

[11:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She is...or was...perhaps taken by the creew at age five

[11:56] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *nods* Maybe an engineer then?

[11:56] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen]  "I don't know.  Maybe."

[11:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= V'Tira to Desiree

[11:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Cathy- 11 years ago

[11:57] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Desiree here

[11:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= Is there a girl amongst your captives of about age 16...going by the name Eriska?

[11:58] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He perked up when he heard that.*  "That's my sister!  Why are they talking about her?"

[11:58] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *looks at the boy* I do not know... Where is she?

[11:58] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Still down there with everyone else, I guess."

[11:59] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: =^= It is the sister of the lovely young boy we have here, She is still on the surface, what about her?

[12:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= Ihave aquired the girl's video diary and I should mention at the time of her aquistion at the age of five..there was no mention of a missing brother...only a slaughtered family

[12:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= That was eleven years ago

[12:01] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Understood

[12:01] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He shook his head as he heard that.*  "Well, I'm not really her brother.  Biologically I mean.  She's adopted."

[12:01] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *nods*

[12:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= Adopted....really?

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy winces at this story.*

[12:10] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *The girl's diary droned on.*  "Day one hundred and thirty three... mom wouldn't buy me that new bat'leth.  She says it's just a phase, but I mean, Klingon culture really means a lot to me.  I don't..

[12:10] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: know why she doesn't see it!  Uhg.  Total dictator."

[12:11] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy shakes her head.* Oh teenagers...

[12:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: this was not the life she was meant for...unfortunate

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Perhaps...we could help some of them?

[12:12] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "And Jax keeps going through my stuff... I'm going to put a lock on my door.  He's such a brat.  It's like, hello, we're not little kids any more, I'm not going to play laser tag with you."

[12:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy shakes her head.* Boys...

[12:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She must not even remember her previous family

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It sounds like...they are her family.

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] To her, at least.

[12:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They murdered her previous family Catherine

[12:15] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "I just hope Tem doesn't try to get us to do any more of that dumb family bonding stuff.  Jax and mom might be into it, but it's like 'Wow, you're not even the guy my mom was with when she...

[12:16] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: adopted me and you're probably not going to be the one she's with for long.'  Like really."

[12:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Wait...these...pirates did?

[12:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Catherine...if they did not...they are resposnible for many more murders since then

[12:18] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.* All those crimes...and now this

[12:21] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "Anyway, that's it for now.  Should go before I get stuck chipping residue off some machine I can't pronounce again.  Eriska out."  *She giggled at that as the file switched to the next one.*

[12:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She does seem...sheltered or a sociopath

[12:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Some sort of discipline implied there.

[12:24] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "Day one hundred and forty... uhg!  I'm so mad.  We took on some freighter but mom wouldn't even let me on-board.  She says it's too dangerous.  But I can do it!  I've been watching lots of...

[12:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps her adoptive mother is ..protecting her from the life

[12:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: as i was just saying

[12:24] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: vids of Klingon warrior training.  I think I'd be really good at it if she just let me try."

[12:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods as she listens.*

[12:26] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "I'm sixteen, she lets us have firearms and practice with them but she won't let us use them?  She was way younger than I was when she started fighting people.  It's not fair."

[12:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] A vicious cycle.

[12:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[12:27] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "I'm so sick of this stupid ship!  Everyone's so unreasonable.  In some cultures I'm considered an adult already.  I'm not a kid!"

[12:28] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "One day I'm going to save everyone's asses and she'll have to eat her own words about me not being ready.  She'll see."

[12:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- A rather intellegent supposition...she is being sheltered from the life

[12:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] This woman...perhaps trying to break the cycle?

[12:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or keep her as safe as she can until she must enter the life

[12:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The boy too perhaps

[12:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious that they would turn to such a life...given the vast resouraces of our society

[12:31] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Well once you end up 'on the wrong side' of the law...

[12:31] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Some would prefer this than to accept punishment.

[12:33] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "Day one hundred and forty-four... there's this new guy on our ship.  He's soo cute!  He's like half Romulan or something, those ears are just... oh my gosh."  *She giggled.*

[12:35] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "He's been telling me about their culture, it's definitely different from Klingons but I don't know, there's something so exotic about it all.  I hope my mom doesn't find out I've been...

[12:35] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: talking to him, she'd throw a fit."

[12:36] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Intriguing.

[12:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...i wonder how she will react when reintroduced to Federation culture

[12:37] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Resistant, perhaps.

[12:38] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "Day one hundred and forty six..."  *She sobbed.*  "He's gone!  Freaking Jax told my mom about Colen and she freaking SHOT HIM!"  *She bawled.*  "So what if he was older?!  It's not like we...

[12:38] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: even did anything!"

[12:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps not

[12:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and ....we are back to the executions

[12:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy's face goes pale.*

[12:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She must have suspected something her daughter did not see..perhps he was a predator...but to take life so indecriminately

[12:39] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary]  "He was sooo nice and cute and... he didn't deserve that!  I hate her sometimes!  I hate her so much!"

[12:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Catherine- Still see this as a nurturing family unit Catherine?

[12:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] She certainly seems to treat her like her own daughter...

[12:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Oh yes.indeed...I remmebr with great fondness the night my mother shot and killed the one chosen by me for my first pon farr

[12:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a truly bonding experience

[12:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: between mother and daughter...

[12:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Overly protective to a dangerous extreme, yes...

[12:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks abrow- this is not exactly what one would call a healthy mother daughter relationship Catherine

[12:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I...really wouldn't know. *Cathy averts her eyes.*

[12:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to her, her own tone softening- Elaborate please?

[12:44] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "Day one hundred and fifty.  Still mad about Colen.  Everyone tells me it was right that he got shot for what he was trying to do, but... it just wasn't like that.  I really liked him."

[12:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I...did not know my own mother very well.

[12:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -blinks- I did not know

[12:45] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "I'm old enough to make my own decisions, aren't I?  I mean, what's a couple arbitrary years before it would've been acceptable for her?  Just because of what happened to her when she was a...

[12:45] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: kid?  It isn't fair.  It's a totally different situation."

[12:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods, listening quietly to the log.*

[12:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Something horrible happened to this woman...perhaps many things...to cause her down this path.

[12:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious a post traumatic transference response..so my theory was indeed correct..her adoptiv emother did see something of ill intent in the man she murdered

[12:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is no excuse Catherine

[12:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.*

[12:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Nor was it intended as one.

[12:47] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Diary] "But it's not like I can do anything about it now.  I just wish everyone would leave me alone."

[12:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am able to understand..at the same time i can not condone...

[12:47] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *The log ends there.  There didn't seem to be any entries after that.*

[12:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: There is no denyning she cares for the girl

[12:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Should we speak with the brother?

[12:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- and the mother?

[12:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They are together

[12:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.*

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Lead on then

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -picks up her PADD-

[12:51] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy heads out.*

[12:52] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What did you think of our time on the...beach?

[12:53] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Similar to your own thoughts on it

[12:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy giggles.* Have you picked up Desiree's telepathic abilities?

[12:53] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Though i do not recall being as loud as you under theboardwalk

[12:54] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blushes a deep shade of red.* Ermmmm...ummmm...

[12:54] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Catherine you do understand I too am telepathic

[12:54] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Through touch, yyes?

[12:55] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[12:55] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles.* So you were reading my thoughts...under the boardwalk?

[12:55] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Yet when bonded...or close enough to someone...i need no touch

[12:55] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...and your thoughts were ust as loud as your voice

[12:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blinks and brings a hand to her face, covering the smile as the turbolift took them down.*

[12:56] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -remains looking quite composed and unemotional-

[12:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] And your actions were quite...effective

[12:57] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: as were yours, I compliment you on your prowess in the arts of physicsl lovemaking

[12:57] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blushes deeply at this as the doors open, taking the opportunity to step out.*

[12:58] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -smirks barely just for half a second and then joins her-

[12:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] T-thank you...

[12:58] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: actualyl given your talents am I not the one who supposed to thank you?

[12:59] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I...s-suppose?

[12:59] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Then indeed...thank you

[1:00] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya yawned and smacked her combadge.*  =/\= "Aloran to Blot.  Come to the brig and keep an eye on these prisoners for me, will you?"

[1:01] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Blot] =^= On my way!

[1:01] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy enters the room with V'Tira, her cheeks flushed red.*

[1:01] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She looked at the two as they stepped into the brig.*  "Come to look at the new specimens?"

[1:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: To address them

[1:02] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We have been...perusing some logs.

[1:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[1:03] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Well, by all means.  My replacement's going to be here soon, let me know if you get any good intel out of him.  I think the woman's passed out."

[1:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: If this is not the proper time...we can return

[1:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: It is getting rather late

[1:04] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "N-no, it's okay.  I'm not tired."

[1:05] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Blot arrives to take his post.*

[1:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: A laser tag afffinado -to Jax- I take it?

[1:06] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "And there's my cue to go.  Good luck."  *She nodded at the two and headed out.*

[1:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Rest well Lieutenant

[1:06] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Um, well, who doesn't like laser tag?  Except really stuck-up people."

[1:07] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy giggles.*

[1:07] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I find it to be..quite intriquing myself

[1:07] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Really?"  *He squinted at her.*  "But you've got pointy ears.  Doesn't that mean you're a Vulcan?  I thought Vulcans hated fun."

[1:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Hate is an emotion young sir....i do not hate anything.

[1:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and thus logically this extends to ..laser tag

[1:08] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "But isn't liking something an emotion, too?"

[1:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[1:09] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: However for me...it is merely a preference

[1:09] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I don't know.  That sounds awfully like you just don't want to admit you like it."

[1:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiring not to admit soemthing is an emotional reaction

[1:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I am merely stating fact

[1:10] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] She finds it...agreeable.

[1:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[1:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and I found that i am quite skilled at it, so logically i pursue it

[1:11] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He peered at her, puzzled for a moment before Baker spoke.*  "Okay.  But what's laser tag got to do with this whole thing?"

[1:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Not a thing

[1:12] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He thought about it.*  "So just an icebreaker?"

[1:12] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- No

[1:13] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "...You were trying to figure out what kind of person I was by my responses."

[1:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I was merely curious about something we tend to have in common

[1:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: No

[1:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I know all I need to know about you

[1:13] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He looked even more puzzled.*  "How could you know that?"

[1:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We reviewed Eriska's diary as part of our investigation

[1:14] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods*

[1:15] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He stared at her a moment before he burst out laughing.*  "Oh my god!  She's going to be sooo mad, I can't wait to see the look on her face."

[1:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps we will imply you allowed us to do so

[1:15] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "What?  Hey, no!  She'll go psycho on me!"

[1:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps we are doing this to ensure your cooperation....or perhaps Catherine is merely cruel

[1:16] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blinks and then nods.*

[1:16] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You will help us, then?

[1:17] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I was helping you!  That other lady was way nicer, too.  The blonde one, not the redhead that looked like she wanted to trample us."

[1:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: or perhaps I am just...being misleading

[1:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Desiree?

[1:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Bear in mind young sir at no time did i say we would actually do any of this

[1:18] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He frowned darkly.*  "Mom always said Starfleet was a bunch of assholes," *he huffed, turning to sit on his cot.*

[1:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods to V'Tira's statement.*

[1:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Actually we need no tricks to deal with you, there is no point

[1:19] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Then why're you here?"

[1:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I came to commend you

[1:19] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "For?"

[1:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -pushes a button on her PADD and his voice is heard- '"Repeat, requesting assistance from any nearby vessels.  Our ship's...

[1:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: been disabled by some strange particle field from a nearby gas giant, we... we've crashed on some weird jungle moon.  Requesting any assistance!"

[1:21] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He sighed.*  "They told me not to deploy it yet.  Let them enjoy themselves for a while longer.  But I had to do it."

[1:21] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -shuts it off-

[1:22] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and for that young sir....I commend you

[1:22] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You made the correct decision. *Cathy nods.*

[1:22] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen]  "I guess... but what's going to happen to them now?  Is everyone going to be arrested because of me?"

[1:23] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Only those guilty of crimal behavior

[1:23] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He bowed his head, placing his face in his hands.  He sobbed loudly.*

[1:24] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: i do not believe this applies to your sister...and from what we ave seen thus far...I believe your mother...has sufficent caue to cut a deal

[1:24] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "A-a deal?"

[1:25] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: She has been protecting the pair of you for years has she not?

[1:25] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He looked up, his face glimmering with tears.*  "I mean... of course, she's our mom..."

[1:25] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Your adoptive mother...yes

[1:26] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "What?  N-no, she's my real mother."

[1:26] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: But not Eriska's

[1:26] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "No... she's not.  She found her on some slaver's ship when we were little."

[1:26] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Catherine at this-

[1:27] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Our theory remains sound

[1:27] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Theory?"

[1:28] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Indeed.

[1:28] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Catherine at this-

[1:29] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks back to V'Tira.*

[1:31] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He was looking at both of them expectantly.*

[1:31] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Your mother wished to break the cycle...to prevent your sister from becoming 'her'.

[1:31] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: while instilling within you both...the strength and skills to surive when you grown up

[1:32] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Well, yeah.  She's been having that talk with us since we were old enough to understand it."

[1:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I have seen such evidence...and will ensure this is noted when she faces the authroties

[1:33] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Starfleet has no wish to inflict harm on those who do not deserve it

[1:33] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "So... the more evidence you gather that my mom's really a good person, the less she'll be charged for?"

[1:34] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Naturally....

[1:34] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: To be honest..i commend her efforts...if not all of her methods

[1:35] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Some of which are incredibly brutal.

[1:35] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He seemed to be struggling with wanting to say something.*  "She's not... perfect, no, but she does what she thinks is right.  By her own standards."

[1:36] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Standards must apply to all...to be fair and just young sir

[1:36] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indivual standards are often an infringement upon other unfairly...hence the need for a just set of socieital rules

[1:37] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I mean... I guess that makes sense," *he conceded.*

[1:38] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods to V'Tira's statements.*

[1:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We will not see her punished beyond what she deserves...much of what i have seen will be ot her benefit...

[1:40] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "But is there any way she won't be punished... at all?  Eriska and I don't have anyone else."

[1:40] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: this will depend on the deal she cuts...tell..what does she think of the ships current captain?

[1:41] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He blinked.*  "She -is- the captain."

[1:41] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: That ....is bound to be ..problematic

[1:42] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.*

[1:42] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Who is her first officer?

[1:43] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Her husband, some guy named Tem."

[1:43] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -with her PADD she calls up the list of charges and from which systems...inclusive of all captial crimes-

[1:43] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: That is why

[1:44] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He blinked, stepping closer to examine the PADD.*  "Wait... capital crimes?  She could be executed?!"

[1:44] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Of course not

[1:44] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You are in Federation custody...we have no death penalty

[1:44] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He relaxed at that.*

[1:45] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Though....you are in restricted space...highly dangerous restricted space...

[1:45] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I take it that's another broken law..."

[1:45] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Your ship was ill equipt to face the force that is out here

[1:46] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Several....the artifact you came here through reported your violation

[1:46] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "It seemed like a bad idea to me.  But all the adults were really excited. They said no one owned this galaxy so it was theirs for the taking."

[1:47] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They were actually incorrect...there is a dominant force in this galaxy...and it is...very dangerous.

[1:47] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You are fortunate to not have encountered it.

[1:47] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen]  "No... we just had our ship wrecked by the first anomaly we came across."

[1:47] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You are currently in what would amount to the remenants of a battlefield from a war that has been raging hre for more than two millions years

[1:48] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He stared at V'Tira.*

[1:48] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: There was a good reason we quaretined this place from civilian traffic

[1:48] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks to V'Tira.* Such a wreck at an early stage may have saved your lives.

[1:48] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: a battle took place here against the allied forces a mere 11 days, 22 hors and 36 minutes ago...a fleet engageent

[1:49] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Of which we barely repelled

[1:49] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen]  "Holy shit."  *He had to sit and think about that for a minute.*

[1:50] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...those 'assholes' your mother told you about..died trying to prevent that force from entering the Milky way galaxy young sir

[1:51] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Starfleet and our allies....ensure for now...we were not embroiled in another war

[1:51] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "But you fought them off?  They're not coming back?"

[1:51] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We repelled the attack

[1:51] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks again to V'Tira.*

[1:52] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: at this time, we are not even sure where their stronghold or bases are in this galaxy or even their numbers

[1:52] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Then we really do need to get everyone out of here as soon as we can.  I knew the beacon was a good idea."

[1:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...though unless the native below are a remement of a race reduced back to the stone age by this war..we should be safe for now

[1:53] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He hesitated.*  "But... you say there might not be a lot you can do for my mom, since she's the captain?  What does that mean for my sister and me then?"

[1:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You do not know much about the Federation do you?

[1:54] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "N-no, not really.  My mom just always said they were... well, she had some names for you guys."

[1:55] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What about this...Tem?

[1:55] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: The worse case scenario is your mother is sent ot a rehabilitation colony for her crimes...your sister is old enough to act as your guardian...and you two would be housed and well privided for near

[1:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: her to allow visits ntil her sentence has completed

[1:56] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "He's my stepdad.  He flies the ship."  *He looked at V'Tira with that.*  "Wait, Eriska'd have to be my guardian?"

[1:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: The best case..your mother cuts a deal and depending on what she is able to work out...your family situation may not change

[1:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: In theory yes...I am willing to et you stop pestering her by lways knocking on her door then

[1:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: bet*

[1:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: The Federation is not in the habit of breaking up family units

[1:58] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen]  "But still... I can't even imagine my mom being in prison."  *He shook his head.*

[1:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -dryly- a rehabilitation colony is not a prison

[1:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] This is not a Klingon prison camp...the goal is rehabilation.

[1:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *rehabilitation

[1:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We actualy do not have prisons

[1:59] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I think the word 'rehabilitation' would actually scare her more than 'incarceration.'"

[2:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: How about 'time out camp' then?

[2:00] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy gives V'Tira a curious look for a moment.*

[2:00] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He couldn't help but laugh, not responding otherwise.*

[2:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Your mother has had to act a certain way in the life she is stuck in....such skills have use for our society once she no longer has to fight to be safe and to eat

[2:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: or to provide for you and your sister...she need not...change who she is..onlythe degrees of her methods

[2:03] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: that is what time our camp will help her see

[2:03] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: out*

[2:03] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It has been proven effective.

[2:04] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Since we were little, there's been one thing she's told us over and over.  'Nothing in this universe is more important than being free.'"  *He looked back at them.*  "I'll help you how I...

[2:04] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: can but... I know she's going to do anything it takes to keep from having to go with you."

[2:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Jaxen...we are offering her the chance to be totally free

[2:04] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I just don't know if she'll see it the same way."

[2:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I wonder if your mother would be willing to endure the comfort of such a time out camp if it meant she would be able to return to the tings she loves...but no longer at the expense of others

[2:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: she would make a highyl effective independant trader and scout

[2:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: she would no longer have to steal...to provide...she would be free to push the boundaries of known space

[2:07] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Well... you're welcome to try.  Maybe you'll get through to her.  You guys don't seem... really, at all like how she said you were."

[2:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We can only offer her the chance Jax as you said...she will have to do the rest on her own

[2:08] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We owe it to you to try.

[2:08] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Why?  I didn't do anything."

[2:09] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps you can tell her my interest is...i do not like to see a bird stuck in a cage..such as they one she is trapped in

[2:11] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He considered this, a pensive expression on his young face.*  "I just hope this doesn't... get worse than it has to be."

[2:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I concur...if you are saying she would contemplate martial action...bear in mind the very fleet she is in the custody of...fought and won a war with the Iconians

[2:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: food for thought as they say

[2:16] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We are not the evil oppressors she believes.

[2:17] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Tell her that when you meet her, then.  But she can be impulsive.  She still tells us the story of the time she drew a flying vehicle through a hospital window to get that lady out before...

[2:17] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: the authorities could interrogate her."  *He pointed at the passed-out woman in the next cell.*

[2:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I am sure her skills are impressive

[2:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: However actions must yield consequences...running from us...will only make things worse for her expontionaly

[2:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: All things considered...you are quite fortunate we found you...and not 'The Dark'

[2:20] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "'The Dark?'  Isn't most of space dark?"

[2:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The Dark is what I spoke of either...the dominant force in this galaxy.

[2:21] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "And they call themselves 'The Dark?'  Is the next galaxy going to be full of 'The Evil?'"

[2:21] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: It is the term the natives use to describe it...they also describe it as 'anti-life'

[2:22] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "So, death."

[2:22] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -presses a buton n her PADD to show the dark mass cloud the Adagio first encountered and its sheer size-

[2:22] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: The natives were in agreement..that the Dark was worse than death

[2:23] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He got up from his cot to look at the PADD with untempered curiosity.*  "So it's like a void cloud in space?"

[2:23] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: No....it has mass...and produces energy...that is shapes into vesels

[2:24] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Jaxen,,,this is but one of the species called the Dark

[2:24] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: One

[2:24] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen]  "Woah!  So it like, replicates ships inside of itself and sends them out?"

[2:25] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Or just rips ships apart with tendrils that extend out from it

[2:25] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: or one one such encutner..it merely killed an enitre crew of one thousand with fear

[2:26] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "So it's some straight up space Lovecraft?  That's so neat!"  *He paused.*  "Well, scary and horrible, but you know what I mean."

[2:27] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed..i am mentioning this...because it was your mothers afrementioned impulsive nature that could have givne you a first hand encounter with it..by sneaking into the Gateway

[2:27] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: again...food for thought

[2:28] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "She wouldn't have taken us here if she knew that."

[2:28] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ignorance would not have saved your life.

[2:28] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: In point of fact...it would have made it easier for the dark to feed

[2:28] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *He frowned somewhat, still studying the PADD.*

[2:30] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I'll... help you how I can," *he finally said, quietly.*

[2:30] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once- It is vital that you and your family...do not remain in the Large Magellanic Cloud

[2:31] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "What do you need me to do?"

[2:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Be honest with her as we have been with you and will be with her

[2:34] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Yeah..." *he said, looking at his shoes thoughtfully.*  "So... this is what you do?  You go around, fighting evil stuff in other galaxies and exploring and stuff?"

[2:34] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -is brought up short by that and has to admit after a moment-....yes

[2:34] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes...she is very good at it.

[2:35] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and helping other people

[2:35] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: especially those here who are suffering

[2:35] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "That... sounds really cool, actually."

[2:35] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: plus...we play laser tag

[2:36] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen]  "With real lasers too, I bet."

[2:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The only Vulcan I have ever met who does so.

[2:36] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: ..actually the last runningbattle aboard ship was a nerf war

[2:36] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "What's a nerf?"

[2:37] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -shows him her chosen belt fed nerf rifle from that night=

[2:37] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: That...is a nerf

[2:37] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Wait, it has real ammo?"

[2:37] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: spongey darts

[2:37] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "So you can actually hit someone in the face?"

[2:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes

[2:38] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I could definitely use one of those."

[2:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I found this activity ..agreeable as well

[2:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You may have mine...before you depart the ship

[2:39] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen]  *He brightened.*  "Wait, really?  Just like that?"

[2:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to him- Of course

[2:39] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles.*

[2:39] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] *One could practically see the list of ways he could torment his older sister with this being compiled in his head.*

[2:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Not the sensor targetting deice i had installed beneath the barrel

[2:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Note*

[2:40] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "That's custom?"

[2:40] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Increases the odds of a well palced head or...-sighs butt shot

[2:40] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Of course..it would be illogical to go into a nerf battle without an edge

[2:41] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "I was thinking of using the edge of a surprise ambush against an unarmed foe."

[2:41] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...it aids in that dgree as well

[2:42] [DOIC3] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [Jaxen] "Though she might chase me around with her bat'leth if I do that."
