Pilgrim 2/18

[8:56] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQzk09j2lZ8 **

[8:58] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The episode opens on a glimpse of the Pilgrim being swept along in a vast, glittering current of tiny cosmozoans.  Its hull has some visible damage, but much of it is in the process of being...

[8:59] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: patched.  An interior view sweeps past the bridge, where Sulok and Zohle were just finishing installing the new science consoles and into T'Pang's ready room as she gives her log... **

[9:01] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's Log Stardate 96989.54. After an encounter with a ...mass of cosmozoan lifeforms the Pilgrim has susptained damage. Normally this level of damage would necesssitate at least a month in an...

[9:02] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: advanced spacedock faciility. Due to our situation we are forced to patch the damage as best we can on the fly. It is less than ideal, but it will have to do.

[9:04] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: We have been scanning as we go, in an attempt to locate a group of rebel forces in opposition to the Tanausan Imperium. According to Doctor Bessely he seems to think they would allow him to stay ...

[9:05] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: with them in exchange for this knowledge of the Imperium. Although I suspect we are not going to find them unless they wish to be found it is probably worth out time to look. End Log.

[9:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --closes out the log recorder and puts it away.--

[9:06] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Engineering was abuzz as they pulled extra shifts, rushing back and forth from one repair project to the next.*

[9:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -studies the repair status updates-

[9:07] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *sighs a hand on the railing*

[9:07] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *stood ad his post and checked the alignment readouts of the targeting arrays*

[9:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Scans, if the scanners' state allows such, as the ship flows on top of the millions of tiny little cosmozoans.*

[9:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Status on our little camflague disguise T'Ghor? Ho wis it holding up?

[9:09] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We have other issues, Commander. Ion storm ahead, and these microzillas are headed right for it."

[9:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is in the upper levels, getting down and dirty with the repairs.*

[9:09] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks back at Nkiru- Everything okay Niki?

[9:09] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The disguise is doing well, even if the shield and deflector have flickered a couple times."

[9:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Microzilla?"

[9:10] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Yeah, just thinking about stuff and not coming to the best conclution"

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The name Otsuka came up with. I guess it's a japanese thing."

[9:10] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -narrpws her eyes- Force status of the incoming ion storm?

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Growing fast, Commander..."

[9:10] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Current level?

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --walks out onto the bridge-- "Did you just say io storm?"

[9:10] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Ion storm fast growing out there skipper

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "can we alter course?"

[9:10] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *cracks his neck*

[9:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Helm status?

[9:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: T'Ghor...these microzilas heading for the storm?

[9:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Commander... The storm is a level 5, has the potential to go 8... maybe higher."

[9:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "In short, not a good one."

[9:12] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: No..we have a 'hurricane' forming out there

[9:12] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Ablative could resist a storm that strong, but the power draw may be prohibitive.

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin] "We've been letting our engines cool this long on the cosmotrail, hopefully they'll just let us slide on out."

[9:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Tpang- We have some ability to manuever

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "okay well let's make preparations to slide on out then.."

[9:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to T'Ghor- ETA until we hit the storms perimeter?

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We have to keep up disguise for a good while, though."

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I don't want them to smell us again."

[9:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  =/\= "Bridge to engineering, getting ready to kick the impulse engines back on, if anything starts burning... well, put it out!"

[9:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "About two hours with the things' current speed."

[9:15] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain we should alert all decks to prepare for rough weather and rig for the ion storm

[9:15] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "right."

[9:15] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks down at her on holding the railing, noting she has been having a strong grip on it in her anoyance*

[9:15] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Gayle give me intership."

[9:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Let me at least try to pull us out before we go in full batten-down-the-hatches mode.  Ma'ams."

[9:16] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks t T'Pang at that-

[9:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "You're on, Captain."

[9:17] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Attention crew we are going to attempt to extricate ourselves from the flowing mass of cosmozoans. We don't expect trouble, but things may get a bit rough so you may wish to brace yourselves for ...

[9:18] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: choppy seas just in case. Captain out."

[9:18] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *takes one of her Crazy frogs looks at it before popping it into her mouth*

[9:18] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Great...grab hold of something everyone.

[9:18] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Alright helm, your on..."

[9:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Engineers all over flocked to hold on to pillars and railings.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Anyone using the confrence room?"

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  *She let out a breath.*  "Prophets, let my hunch be right..."  *She took hold of the controls.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Kind of in the middle of something, Jelani!"

[9:20] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grabs hold.*

[9:20] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "I will be in there if needed then"

[9:20] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -sits in her chair-

[9:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Are you--- did she really just do that?"

[9:21] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And then Commander Valkriss says I have "Behavioural issues"

[9:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "people can we focus on the task at hand?"

[9:21] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *sits down in the confrence room closing her eyes clenching a fist with frustration*

[9:22] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The Pilgrim's impulse engines sputtered a bit, failing to do more than jerk them forward a tiny bit before cutting again.  Their shields flickered.*

[9:22] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *

[9:22] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -rubs the bridge of her nose-

[9:22] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Mercury laughs at us.

[9:22] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he frowns*

[9:22] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Helm?

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --pinches the bridge of her nose.-- "people I should remind you there is no one we can call for help."

[9:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  =/\= "Helm to engineering, where in the fire caves are my impulse engines?!"

[9:23] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I could prep offering for neptune...

[9:23] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -deadpans sofltly- Let me guess no hypeerdrive?

[9:23] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Captain, you don't exactly have to tell -us-."

[9:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I can't magic you up an impulse engine, just set up the shield and deflector optimally for the storm and hope for the best."

[9:24] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Focus up people...T'Ghor keep an eye on that storm...Li will sort it out and Tamin has this

[9:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  =/\= "ENGINEERING, COME IN!" *she barked.*

[9:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, commander."

[9:25] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Li answer Tamin or im coming down there

[9:25] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he checked tactical scanners*

[9:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --closes her eyes summoning her inner Vulcan strength.--

[9:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Engineering here.

[9:25] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Go ahead Helm he is all yours

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  =/\= "The impulse drive isn't working, we kind of need it or we're going to get sucked into an ion storm!"

[9:26] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Understood...we'll reassign DCT teams.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: What if it is merely not providing enough thrust?

[9:27] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= ETA on the impulsse Li?

[9:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li drops his repair toolkit and zooms over to the turbolift.*

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No... with the disguise in place, the cosmozoans should prove little resistance."

[9:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= I was making repairs myself ma'am...I need to get back to main engineering to reorganize my teams.

[9:27] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: You still have to overcome the increase in densitiy of the surroundign space.

[9:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Main engineering!

[9:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= You have a little less than two hours Li

[9:28] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Like attempting to move in a swamp.

[9:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Woooooosh.*

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It is not -that- thick."

[9:28] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Understood.

[9:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Bridge out

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --checks her chronometer.--

[9:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *THUNK.  The lift suddenly stopped, throwing Li to the floor.*

[9:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Woosh.  It started again.*

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...Before Gayle says it, that's what she said..."

[9:29] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Fortunate for us then, Li should be able to correct the problem.

[9:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: OW!

[9:29] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -dryly- Yes...what else could go wrong...

[9:29] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *sighs shaking her head, rubbing a hand over her forehead*

[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we have a whole two hours, we will be fine."

[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You had to say it, Commander."

[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And you two, Captain..."

[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Too*)

[9:29] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks to T'Ghor-

[9:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li moves over to grab onto the side of the turbolift.*

[9:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The doors opened on the engineering deck.*

[9:30] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I don't suppose we have any goats or a horse on board... *he chuckles and goes back to monitoring whatever the sensors give him.*

[9:30] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *gets to her feet and goes to look out the window*

[9:30] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li moves out of the turbolift, rubbing his head as he walks over to his console.*

[9:30] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It's the 25th century..."

[9:31] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li runs a diagnostic on the impulse drive.*

[9:31] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was what appeared to be a shimmering mist drifting past the window.*

[9:32] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Hence the humour.

[9:33] [DOIC2] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *lowers her head before going back to the bridge, trying to hold her head high**

[9:34] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "So that shimering mist outside, that is the stuff you all been talking about?"

[9:34] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li reroutes power in an attempt to fix the impulse engines.*

[9:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --glances over and smiles at Nkiru--

[9:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that would be the 'stuff' in question."

[9:35] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *smiles back at T'pang but it seems a bit forced*

[9:35] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Engineering to bridge...give it a try.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -types something in her PADD-

[9:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to Tamin-

[9:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Okay... second time's the charm."  *She tried to power up the impulse engines.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to the Helm- You can do this...

[9:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Why... won't this damn thing..."

[9:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li tries to prevent an overload.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "try hitting it"

[9:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks at her very klingon comment-

[9:38] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Sighs* "Why didn't I become a florist..."

[9:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The hurs are way better

[9:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: hours*

[9:38] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  *She gave a triumphant grin as the engines kicked online.*  =/\= "Helm to engineering, I owe you a bottle of springwine."

[9:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= I'll take it after shift.

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I dunno..."

[9:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "You all quit your complaining, engines are on.  Let's get out of here... smooth as silk."

[9:39] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *raised an eyebrow*

[9:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li returns to the turbolift.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Steady as she goes Helm

[9:40] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *opened her mouth to ask a question, be decies against it*

[9:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  *She released a breath, and slowly began turning against the stream.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --grips her arm rests nervously--

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If I get a concussion this time, let me nap."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *braces*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh yes we will get a nice comfy pillow and fluffy blanket as well -sits back into her chair to brace-

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Holds onto his console, preparing for the imminent concussion or broken limb.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "How nice of you."

[9:42] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** An exterior shot showed the Pilgrim carefully turning out of the mass of migrating minizillas.  It quaked a few times, but they were not inhibited from leaving as they slid out into normal space.**

[9:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles-

[9:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --breathes a sigh of relief.--

[9:43] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *looks down at the railing, barely paying attention to the going on*

[9:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li returns to the level he was on and the repair work he was performing.*

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "There's my alloted nap time gone..."

[9:44] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Captain I am detecting a large metallic object in a system near our exit point.

[9:44] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *forwards the coordinates to science*

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Sighs, turning his scanners to Aquila's coordinates.* "Of course..."

[9:44] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: T'ghor you should have directional vectoring.

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "On it."

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "can we get a better look at it?"

[9:45] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *runs a silloute comparison while t'ghor works*

[9:46] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I can tell you it's a red dwarf system to our left, there is this small, small planet in orbit of the planet, and the object is orbiting said planet."

[9:46] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Currently running it through tactical database.

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Nothing else concrete from this far away from me, though."

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "so who ever it is, is not taking any interest in us then?

[9:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "They may not have spotted us yet."

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It may not neccessarily be a -who-. It may be large debris, or a space station, or a defence platform... many things."

[9:47] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *frowns not even feeling like making a joke*

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "understood."

[9:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: This is possibly one of the system the good doctor thought might be held by the rebel forces captain

[9:49] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Distance is prohibiting a solid match in the database.

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No way to confirm for now, unless we hold up the giant "We are anti-tanausan, come shoot us" sign."

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks t Valkriss--

[9:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Nothing has changed since we were looking before the micrzilla avalanche

[9:50] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we could go look."

[9:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It is why we headed out this way

[9:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "helm plot a course to the system."

[9:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I wonder..."

[9:51] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Vera?

[9:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Aye captain, plotting course."  *She booped on her console.*

[9:51] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If you're holding info out on us, I'll sic Rolan on you..."

[9:52] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "If this is a rebel station, maybe they have the means to, I don't know, barter to let us stay a few days while we continue our repair job?  Maybe trade for supplies?"

[9:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "tactical keep weapons and shields on standby..but try to look casual about it."

[9:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She glared at T'Ghor.*  "Don't even say that."

[9:53] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That's what we're all hoping, I Think."

[9:53] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Aye Captain.

[9:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "I'm RIGHT HERE."

[9:53] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We will look into that Gayle."

[9:53] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Keeping gunports closed but rolling cannons.

[9:53] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Grins humourlessly to Vera.* "I have an impressive lack of morals."

[9:53] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I cooncur skipper its a fine idea

[9:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Course set, Captain, on your order?"

[9:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "engage helm."

[9:54] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Finally a task suited Brak..*he mutters*

[9:55] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The Pilgrim jetted off toward the system, its star a shade of deep, burning red.*

[9:56] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Totally not ominous."

[9:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "My bet's on vampires."

[9:56] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Werewolves."

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "No way.  It's a metallic object full of zombies."

[9:57] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Zombies are the most boring monster, I think..."

[9:57] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A red sky not always a bad omen in my religion. Favorable if set to do battle.

[9:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Well try not to do battle, engineering's already got their hands full."

[9:58] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "At least those Are things I could fight"

[9:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks- is it not a dying religion on your world Marcus -teases-

[9:58] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You really seem like you have to let off some steam Jelani. Just go to the gym after hours."

[9:58] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps.

[9:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- Just kill your gods Marcus and be done with it

[9:59] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "I do that Daily"

[9:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --smiles at Nkiru-- "Feeling a bit restless Lieutenant?"

[9:59] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Then we would become them.

[9:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It is what my people did

[9:59] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The benefit of a usurper based religion.

[9:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to Miki at he rmention of their daily gymn meetings-

[10:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Y'all mother lovers need the Prophets..."

[10:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- Gods are hardly worth the time involved

[10:00] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "I would not say restless"

[10:00] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The prophets gave us Li, I don't know how much I trust them."

[10:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: They also gave LI protective gear....so there is balance

[10:01] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Not for his lovers hearts.

[10:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- Ow ..burn

[10:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: T'Ghor what is the ion storm status...will it avoid the system we are approaching?

[10:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "In spite of his failings of the flesh, he is son of Bajor."  *She shrugged.*  "Entering the oort cloud now."

[10:02] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *sighs looking at the railing*

[10:02] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor checks the storm path on the scanners.*

[10:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Niki?

[10:03] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Commander?"

[10:03] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps his marriages would benefit a more roman outlook. Albiet one typically only held by those following dying gods.

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Well stay shartp, we have no idea what we will find here...or what sort of reception to expect."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: A fight will come soon enough...do not long for it...let it come to you

[10:03] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he checks the scanners on the object*

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It's moving right between this cluster and Tanausan space, Commander."

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It will pass us by... and mask us from them."

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Makes me think, if they are a regular occurence..."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to the science officer- Good

[10:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: This is the perfect hiding ground then for any rebel force

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If these storms happen here often, Commander, this would be the best possible hiding spot for the rebels."

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Exactly."

[10:04] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "ITs not wanting a fight commander, that was a bad attempt at a joke, but I rather not discuss my problems openly on the bridge"

[10:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles at T'Pang-

[10:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: T'Ghor*

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Valkriss.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Captain recommend halt.

[10:05] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Object is an match to Tanusian station.

[10:05] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Niki- Then keep those sighs to yourself..your irritation is becoming public

[10:05] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Though it has had some modification.

[10:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Aquila--

[10:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Modification, hmm? Exactly what a rebel faction might use, then."

[10:05] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We may wish to attempt contact before entering range of their weapon systems none the less.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "I wil try, no promises"

[10:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "are we in communications range?"

[10:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I concur...the Oort cloud can provide cover

[10:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Do not try Lieutenant...obey -nods to Niki-

[10:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Should be, Captain, want me to--- oh.  Speak of the devil."

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Gayle, can you have Doctor Bessely brought to the bridge?"

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Tell them nobody's home."

[10:07] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Its not that easy"

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Yes, Captain.  The station is hailing us."

[10:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The only answer I am looking for is 'Yes Ma'am' Lieutenant

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "put them on screen."

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Smirks to Valkriss*

[10:08] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "as you wish...Ma'am"

[10:08] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: See me after Watch Lieutenant -darkly-

[10:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The viewscreen turned on to show a bespectacled man with curved horns over his head.  https://i.imgur.com/WjR561v.jpg *

[10:09] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "Aye Ma'am"

[10:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Man]  "Unidentified vessel, cease movement and provide identification immediately."

[10:10] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *raised an eyebrow*

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Greetings, I am Captain T'Pang of the USS Pilgrim. A vessel that is part of the Federation Starfleet and a member of the Dawn Alliance."

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "helm bring us to a complete stop."

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  *She nodded, bringing them to a halt.*

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Man]  "I don't know of any 'Dawn Alliance.'  Who sent you here?"

[10:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "No one in particular sent us here, we are in this region of space by accident. We have suffered damage and are in need of repairs."

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Man]  "We're not a repairyard.  I suggest you find the nearest substation."

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  *He stepped out onto the bridge, making his way to the railing.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we would be grateful if you could perhaps point us in the right direction."

[10:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -clears her throat-

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Man]  *He blinked in clear surprise.*  "Is that... Doctor Bessley?"

[10:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to T'Pang-

[10:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "That's what they keep calling me.  I think we have a lot to discuss... and some similar goals in mind."

[10:15] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --raises and eyebrow, look over at Bessley--

[10:16] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *eyes his scanners*

[10:16] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: We found him all by himself on a forgotten workd -adds-

[10:16] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Shutting down the simulation, Dali rubs her eyes and sits back in her chair.* "Computer, restore volume on the bridge monitor."

[10:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: well not entirely by himself -nods to the doctor-

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "Yes, these... 'Dawn Alliance' people saved my life when I was grievously injured.  It would mean a lot if we could make port."

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  *He gave Valkriss a slight shake of his head.*

[10:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -barest of nods and looks back t othe screen-

[10:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Man]  "...I will have to discuss it with the counc--- oh, to hell with it, I already know what they'll say.  I'll clear you to dock... but I meant it, we're not a repair yard."

[10:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods-- "I understand, we will try not to impose. We have our own engineeers. But, we would benefit from a dock space for them to work."

[10:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Man]  "That we can do, particularly for anyone who brings us the infamous Doctor Bessley."  *He gave a slight smirk.*  "You may approach."

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "helm bring us in, slowly."

[10:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We're receiving data for docking."

[10:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Parking, ma'am."  *She headed in.*

[10:22] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Relay to helm Vera please

[10:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Done and done."

[10:23] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he watches the station on tacscan*

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Man]  "We shall speak soon, Captain, Doctor."  *The hail cut.*

[10:23] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Only watches passive scans, not wanting to risk active ones to be seen as hostility.*

[10:23] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I don't trust that guy, somehow."

[10:23] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "infamous... hm" *Dali smiles all by herself in the office, then sends a quick text to Valkriss* -txt- Well Done -txt-

[10:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "...just keep your eyes and ears open people."

[10:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Will do so..."

[10:24] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Indeed.

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "Until I get a chance to suss them out... not a word about Aija.  They may be rebels against an evil empire, but that doesn't mean they have hearts of platinum.  A revolution takes...

[10:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: funding, and we may be fighting the same cause, but there's also a hefty price on my head."

[10:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Right, doctor we don't want to reveal too much information. Untill we get a better read on who we are dealing with."

[10:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Also Doctor I would like to assign a security detail to you and your doctor for the time being."

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "I would like that, too."

[10:26] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and sends a text back to the doctor 'You as well doctor'-

[10:27] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Sorry about that doctor..i thought these people were a known quantity to you

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "No, I'd only heard of them.  And I know of no other place to go if I want to continue my work."

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  *He sighed.*  "Let us hope they're not a load of [universal translator error]."

[10:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If it goes sideways, you can always come to the alliance... If we return there."

[10:29] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "If?"

[10:29] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *dali echoes Nkiru in her office*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *raises his eyebrow*

[10:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "Your Alliance is on the other side of this galaxy... how could I help my people from there?  And I wouldn't ask you to prolong your exodus any more for my sake."

[10:30] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, if."

[10:31] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And, doctor, perhaps we would find a wormhole or something... and besides, it is still a safe haven for you to work and for Aija to live safely."

[10:31] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "We have some of the best minds working on getting us home, your own included, we will get back to the Citadel"

[10:31] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he notes something*

[10:31] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *gets a bit of her usual fire back, but it does not burn as bright as normal*

[10:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Well... the best minds available, at least..."

[10:32] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You put too much stock in me, Jelani, I am just a klingon who likes digging around deep dark holes he has no business in."

[10:32] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...Which I guess makes me more like Li than I'd want to."

[10:32] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *laughs*

[10:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he snerked watching the bridge feed.*  "Burn."

[10:32] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *slow motion facepalm*

[10:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Valkriss, I don't want to trust these people too much upfront. I want to slowly feel them out without looking to distrustful."

[10:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sighs.*

[10:33] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: "We got alot of people working this"

[10:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Pulling up to the docking port... engaging in three, two..."

[10:34] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I can speak to their current supply situation captain. The station appears to only be aroudn 48 percent stocked based on expected capacity.

[10:34] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was a slight shudder of the ship as the docking tube attached, then a much more foreful CLANK! on the hull as the station's arms anchored it in place.*

[10:34] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We may be able to barter for star maps and intel for supplies we can spare.

[10:34] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to T'Pang- I concur skipper

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I wonder if they do small-scale barter too. I'd kill for something to smoke."

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "acknowledged Mister Aquila, it seems unlikely we will find any resupply here  then. Let's worry about making what repairs we can."

[10:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Marcus...secure all high security areas of the ship and double up security patrols on all decks

[10:35] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *nods*

[10:35] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *relays the order to acting chief teir.*

[10:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Rifles to all patrols...Niki have your teams gear up for QRF stand by

[10:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He barged out of his office.*  "Vaax!  Ettore!  Little girl or cooky scientist?"

[10:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Anyone who tries to board us is in for a very rude awakening

[10:36] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *nods her head* "Aye Ma'am"

[10:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "...I don't think that's an appropriate 'would you rather' question, sir."

[10:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to -T'Pang- In case they are being dishonest with us an the good doctor

[10:37] [DOIC1] Nkiru Jelani@awendra: *moves to her console and sends the order for her teams to gear up for QRF standby*

[10:37] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: I didn't want to say I'll take the girl either...

[10:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Marcus?

[10:38] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: But I got the scientist!

[10:38] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Aye Commander?

[10:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He squinted at them.*  "Fine.  Nadine, you're guarding the kid.  If I find out you taught her one fucking curse word or told her Tanausan Santa isn't real or something..."

[10:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore] "Jeez, I wasn't even going to..."

[10:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Vaax, meet up with Doctor Bessley on the bridge."

[10:39] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Put a team directly on Doctor Beassleyss quarters...i want someone between he and his family an any unwanted attention..lets keep the child safe

[10:39] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Aye commander.

[10:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods approvingly to Valkriss.*

[10:39] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he relays the order via text update across the new system*

[10:40] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin nodded before taking off*

[10:41] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Security reports moving into assigned positions.

[10:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Thank You Marcus -nods to him-

[10:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: They know we are wounded so they might underestimate us if they are in fact hostile

[10:43] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The ship is... we are not. If things go too bad, at least we will be able to ransack the station."

[10:43] [DOIC1] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin stepped out of the lift and moved off to one side, making sure he could see the doc*

[10:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...We don't 'ransack' in Starfleet."

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...We don't 'ransack' in Starfleet."

[10:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We are federation Starfleet, we don't ransack.."

[10:44] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -rubs the bridge of her nose-  T'Ghor...ni pillaging

[10:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If they go hostile, and we are just defending ourselves, and things go too bad... we are surviving now.""

[10:44] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: No*

[10:44] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We stand outnumbered 2 to 1 and they would have the defensive position.

[10:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And they also probably have busted-up third-rate equipment, Aquila."

[10:44] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And most of our numbers are not soldiers. I would discourage ceding ground.

[10:44] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: We survive as starfleet officers T'Ghor..end of story

[10:44] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: They have RN74 based weaponry.

[10:45] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Commander."

[10:45] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to him-

[10:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lets consider deplomacy before we atart drawing battle plans."

[10:45] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I am not saying we jump them. I'm just being optimistic about them jumping us."

[10:45] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Just when you forget for a moment T'Ghor is klingon, he says something like that..." *she shakes her head and opens patient files, working on memory testing herself.*

[10:46] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If that were the case fighting defensive from within the ship is preferable where we control the ground.

[10:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Agreed scaptain

[10:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The skipper has spoken..the debate is ended

[10:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well... who wants to go in and say hello?"

[10:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I am no diplomat and no soldier... I may be more use in here in case things go south."

[11:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: You wish to go Captain or me?

[11:08] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he waits at his post for the two officers to decide*

[11:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "For the time I am going  to have you handle initial negotiations Valkriss."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to Marcus- Aye captain

[11:12] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nods and calls up brak* Armaments Commander?

[11:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Have fun."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Sidearms only

[11:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Lets keep our fangs hidden aboard ship for now

[11:13] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Aye. *he places a phaser on his hip and the shield*

[11:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You stay safe, I'll make sure Gayle doesn't bust out the margaritas..."

[11:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Marcus- best to strike at their throats when they do not expect it

[11:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -heads down to the docking airlock with  marcus-

[11:14] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he follows*

[11:15] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mreshi... please gather your things for an away mission."

[11:16] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  "Doctor?  They didn't request medical?"

[11:16] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is busy coordinating repairs on the Pilgrim.*

[11:17] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Not sending you yet, just get your things ready if there is a need to be able to react quickly."

[11:17] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  "...So just the same thing I'm always supposed to do?"

[11:18] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -sets her phaser to heavy stun and places it back on her side- Stun setting and be ready but remember we are guests

[11:18] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *sighs* "Yes, but I was trying to give you a little heads up."

[11:19] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "Kick them between the legs if you need to."

[11:19] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods approvingly- Noted...but lets hope it doesnt come to that

[11:20] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *laughs* Something seem to stand universal constants.

[11:20] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -cycles the lock and heads on over-

[11:21] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A small group had gathered at the other end of the tube in the station proper.  They appeared unarmed.*

[11:21] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -steps up to the group and nods- I am Lieutenant Commander Valkriss of the Pilgrim....good evening

[11:22] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Request permission to come aboard

[11:22] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looks upon them standing in a position to easily place himself between them and valkriss if need be but not appear threatening.*

[11:22] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The group appeared to be comprised of a number of different species; there was the horned man from the earlier hail, a pale, white-haired woman with gleaming blue eyes who was clearly...

[11:23] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: a member of the same species as the Bessleys, a dark-skinned humanoid woman with bioluminescent spots adorning her face and arms, and a tall, pale male with completely black eyes.*

[11:25] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Horned Man]  "Permission granted... I am Iso Denintaure, a speaker on behalf of our people."

[11:26] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to him- I am the Pilgrims Executive Officer, these are my officers Mister Aquila and Ishtrin and of course you know Doctor Bessley

[11:26] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: and honor to meet wit you Iso Denetaure

[11:26] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to the others assembled as well-

[11:27] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  *He bowed his horned head respectfully to each as they were introduced.*  "A pleasure, I'm certain.  We have a lot to talk about, Doctor Bessley, if the rumours are true."

[11:27] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks back to the doctor at this-

[11:28] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "Rumours are rarely true... but I might scrape close enough to your expectations."

[11:28] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali puts life signs monitors on her screen... keeping a close eye on the readings from the away mission.*

[11:29] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looks stoicly*

[11:30] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: We have found him to be a brave man of honor

[11:30] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he nodded, glancing about at everyone*

[11:31] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  *He nodded approvingly.*  "Well, you'll have to join the council for our evening meal, then.  And your... most curious ferriers may use of the station what they need, provided they can pay...

[11:31] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: for it of course."

[11:32] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looked at Valkriss*

[11:33] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Thank you, we would be honored to do so of course...and i shall pass such along...-nods to Marcus at that-

[11:33] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: What form of currency is preferable?

[11:34] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I take it you more prefer to barter in goods?

[11:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  "We take trunar, but we will also accept barter."

[11:35] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Trunar is that a commodity currency. We have one called latinum.

[11:35] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he narrowed his eyes ever so slightly, listening still*

[11:35] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  "It's one of the currencies of the Imperium."

[11:35] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The element is quite rare which give it its value. It may be of some worth.

[11:35] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he reached into a pocket and pulled out a slip*

[11:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  *He looked annoyed.*  "We're late for dinner."  *The group turned and headed off, Bessley going with them.*

[11:36] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Apologies.

[11:36] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -follows-

[11:36] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nodded to valkriss*

[11:37] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Barter will do -to Marcus as they walk to dinner-

[11:37] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin followed along as well*

[11:38] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -takes in the sights as thy proceed along-

[11:38] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *eyes for differences in layout from substation 59*

[11:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *They entered a chamber, several of the tables strewn with electronic devices and some handwritten notes.  A large cauldron of stew sat in the middle of one of the cleaner tables.*

[11:40] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he followed*

[11:40] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks where to take her seat-

[11:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  *He eyed the entourage of aliens for a moment, then went to take a seat around the cauldron-table.  There was enough room for the others.*

[11:41] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he took a seat to valkriss right*

[11:41] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he closely watched Bessley firstly before his eyes roamed to take in the sights* ooh soup..

[11:41] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -takes her seat-

[11:41] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Stew -smiles to Ish-

[11:42] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: Stew.. *he corrected himself, sitting down in a vacant seat* Right.

[11:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Black Eyed Man]  "Danachen stew, a Nirizean classic."

[11:42] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I am sure it will be filling.

[11:42] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: It smells delicious

[11:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Everyone proceeded to take their bowls and scoop themselves a bit from the cauldron.*

[11:43] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -does as the others do and helps herself to some stew-

[11:43] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he does so himself*

[11:43] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he watched everyone for a moment, following suit once Valkriss did*

[11:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: (Roll please)

[11:44] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: [8]

[11:45] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -has a big mouthful and her eyes widen - This is fantastic...the spices...the meat...forgive me for saying so but this truly delicous

[11:45] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he smiles and endures*

[11:46] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he blinked profusely* And to drink?

[11:46] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Everyone else proceeded to eat as well, questioning Bessley on things the Pilgrim crew had already learned.*

[11:46] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali takes note of Valkriss' slight rise in body temperature and heart rate.*

[11:46] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It has quite a strong flavouring.

[11:46] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -nomies happily-

[11:46] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A big cup was placed in front of Istrin.*

[11:46] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Indeed..it is very Klingon

[11:46] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he did his best to clear his throat as quietly as possible, his eyes darting up to look at the cup* What is it?

[11:47] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: Very much like my nurse used to make

[11:47] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *marcus looks around at the table for anyone paying attention extra attention to him.*

[11:47] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Reminds me of some of Captain Riens specialitys.

[11:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bioluminescent Chick]  "Latejo coolwine."

[11:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *No one seemed to be paying attention to Marcus.*

[11:47] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin reached for the cup and took a big swig from it*

[11:49] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *istrin slowly exhaled, picking his spoon back up and carefully eating his stew, grinning some* Perfect..

[11:50] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -tries some of her coolwine-

[11:51] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Bessley]  "...in the prenatal shots, causing the very thing they were purporting to be trying to curtail."

[11:52] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: Maybe we can bring a sample back for koros to replicate?

[11:52] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali sends Marcus a text* -txt- Please bring a sample back for 'research'

[11:52] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he sips the wine*

[11:53] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *his padd beeps*

[11:53] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he checks padd*

[11:53] [DOIC5] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and nods goingback to her stew-

[11:54] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  "We'd suspected, but... goddess, this is evil even for them."

[11:54] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Interesting beverage.

[11:55] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: How would such a revelation see your ranks swell?

[11:56] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  "There wouldn't be any non-Tanausan in the Imperium not wanting to fight back."

[11:58] [DOIC5] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Do any Tanausans also stand against the Imperiium?

[11:59] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Iso]  "Of course.  They can afford to hide in plain sight, however."
