- (10:54:17 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ We were back at the shipyards, cooling our heels after the Corona's first shakedown cruise. /^
- (10:55:35 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ They needed time to go over all our data, double-check everything...and we had a little leave. /^
- (10:59:34 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ I met an old class-cohort, from the Imperial Academy. Exemplar Riftfire, he'd renamed himself. /^
- (10:59:53 PM) perkyStepford: renamed himself?

- (11:04:03 PM) stanzicApparati [[email protected]] entered the room.
- (11:05:08 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ Well, when we were at Pilot School, he was Zsayel Eiporo, and I was Kamsya Keresh. We weren't adults, then. /^
- (11:05:34 PM) perkyStepford: oh. i see.
- (11:05:48 PM) perkyStepford: [Make a note to ask about Pilot School later.]
- (11:08:09 PM) iceMount left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (11:09:02 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ He was...flashy. Funny, Proud. /^
- (11:10:29 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ ...and he was so sure that the collection of eccentrics, oddballs, and questionably-low-blooded I had selected to crew my ship could not possibly have produced the results we did. We were a fluke. /^
- (11:11:22 PM) perkyStepford: he challenged you?
- (11:12:41 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ After a few too-snide comments, I saw fit to challenge -him-. /^

- (11:13:37 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ To a race, of sorts. /^
- (11:14:58 PM) perkyStepford: how did that go?
- (11:21:42 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ Closer than it should have been. We were not a smootly-functioning team, yet. But in the end, Ockzel's modifications to the engines allowed me to shunt more power into them than someone like Exemplar could safely channel. /^
- (11:21:55 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ Not without burning himself, or his ship, out. /^
- (11:27:13 PM) perkyStepford: but you did beat him.
- (11:27:43 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ Oh, yes. /^
- (11:27:51 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ He was a poor loser. /^

- (11:29:28 PM) perkyStepford: that's boorish of him.
- (11:29:48 PM) comicInstability is now known as dreamesotericRemnant
- (11:29:52 PM) perkyStepford: did he complain?
- (11:30:05 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ Well. He was polite enough about it, to my face. /^
- (11:30:35 PM) perkyStepford: but behind your back?
- (11:33:59 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ Exemplar was my guest for a short period of time on the Corona afterwards. He sought out Ockzel. /^
- (11:35:18 PM) perkyStepford: oh.
- (11:35:21 PM) perkyStepford: uh-oh.
- (11:36:32 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ I can be connected to every camera and every sensor on my ship. Yet I still must be looking, in the first place. /^
- (11:37:07 PM) psionicFervor is now known as Cobb
- (11:37:31 PM) perkyStepford: you didn't know to look?
- (11:38:40 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ Not in time. /^
- (11:40:08 PM) unsaug|invis is now known as unseeingAugur
- (11:40:45 PM) perkyStepford: what
- (11:40:50 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ When I arrived, Ockzel had already been thrown and slammed around by Exemplar's telekinesis, and his head and face were covered in blood. My former schoolmate wielded long knives. Ockzel's consciousness was fading. /^
- (11:40:50 PM) perkyStepford: what happened?
- (11:41:50 PM) perkyStepford: oh.
- (11:41:51 PM) perkyStepford: oh no.
- (11:41:58 PM) perkyStepford: [Cover your mouth with your hands.]
- (11:42:51 PM) midnightAnarch is now known as iakchosWassail
- (11:44:17 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ I was. Well. Furious. Furious, and underneath that, terrified for Ockzel. I bellowed and roared at Exemplar, what gave him the right to attack my crew, to skulk around in corridors and hurt what I valued, and I drove him from the corridor with force and plasma. Security, and shipyard medical, took care of him after that. /^
- (11:45:16 PM) perkyStepford: and what happened to ockzel?

- (11:48:45 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ Ockzel was trying to stand up. He was...making these noises. Whimpering. Not good. I...I didn't know first aid, but his face was badly gashed, up into and past the bed of his right horn. Horn injuries are /risky/, and head wounds bleed a /lot/. I stayed with him until our Chief Mediculler and his team arrived. /^
- (11:50:02 PM) Whilim is now known as vsOther001
- (11:51:58 PM) perkyStepford: they were able to keep him okay?
- (11:55:57 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ The horn gash stayed with him -- they don't heal quickly, and sometimes never -- and the scar remained on his face. /^
- (11:56:52 PM) perkyStepford: but he recovered?
- (11:57:42 PM) cadentCorona: ^\ The horn stayed very sensitive to changes in gas, air currents, and pressure, but he made a full recovery, yes. It was not as deep of a cut as I feared. /^
- (11:59:08 PM) perkyStepford: that's good, then. i mean, not good that he got hurt, but good that he wasn't hurt as badly as he could have been.

- (5/26/2013 12:00:21 AM) cadentCorona: ^\ Having to break the news to his matesprit may have been the worst part. /^
- (12:00:30 AM) perkyStepford: how did she take it?
- (12:02:20 AM) lucidChthonia [[email protected]] entered the room.
- (12:04:41 AM) cadentCorona: ^\ She broke my arm. /^
- (12:04:49 AM) cadentCorona: ^\ And my nose. /^
- (12:04:54 AM) cadentCorona: ^\ And a few ribs. /^
- (12:05:08 AM) perkyStepford: 0^0
- (12:05:26 AM) perkyStepford: that's awful.
- (12:05:41 AM) cadentCorona: ^\ She was not a saint. /^
- (12:06:36 AM) perkyStepford: i guess not.
