[3:38] [DOIC] David Allen@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: GIGANTES music begins to play...*

[3:40] [DOIC] David Allen@ClingingMars: *The camera pans around the Gigantes as it shows the crew preparing to shift from Alpha to Beta watch. David is instructing the new officer of the watch and performing some last minute inspections bef

[3:40] [DOIC] David Allen@ClingingMars: before signing off as the episode begins without a log...*

[3:41] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David shakes his head as he reads a security report, then heads for the turbolift.*

[3:42] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Finishes up a drill for her teams, rubbing her forehead as the arch opens in the deck and people start walking out.* "No blue on blue zis time..."

[3:44] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: Deck 8.

[3:44] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: *sat in his office in the hangar reading reports* Why can't we replace that damn slavshuttle yet..... *shook his head*

[3:45] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Sits down in ten forward, ordering herself a large glass of Cognac, and some chocolate to go along with it.*

[3:48] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *Valerie's chocolate is provided, with a note.*

[3:51] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Reaches in to read the note.*

[3:52] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: [Note] "Bareni silk nuts are currently unavailable at this time."

[3:52] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Bareni silk nuts? Why?"

[3:54] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -signs some final final paperwork as he stands up- Not even a quarter of the work done.... -sighed as he picked up an old-school paper book. Alex turned around to face the picture of him and his old >

[3:56] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Shrugs.* "Strange. Not like we cannot replicate zem..." *She takes a sip of her drink and a few blocks of chocolate.*

[3:57] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: fighter wing accompanied by some moustached captain- I still have the book old man, I won't forget the promise I made you..... Just stay patient.....like you always have been with me. >

[3:58] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -Alex held his free hand against the picture for a few seconds before heading out of his office and into the turbolift-

[3:58] [DOIC4] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Deck 10.

[4:01] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -entered ten forward and headed straight towards the bar-  May I have a raktajino please?

[4:02] [DOIC3] David Allen@ClingingMars: *After a few moments Alex is provided a raktajino.*

[4:03] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Looks up from her PADD, nodding to Alex, then returning to it.*

[4:04] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -nodded as he he received his drink- Go raibh maith agat. -he placed his book on the counter and nodded at Val- Whatcha reading?

[4:07] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Not reading right now. Was modifying ze settings of one of ze old 'oloprograms I 'ad. Was on ze 'olodeck till now, so I figured I should 'it it for recreation again soon."

[4:08] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Which program might that be? -opened his book and began reading-

[4:09] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Ah, just a semi-steampunk one. Airships, massive trains wiz AA weaponry on zem, ze works."

[4:10] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Don't you see enough weaponry as a Delta? Or is this somekind of training programme?

[4:11] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, it is not just war and ze likes... it is a developed world of sorts. Besides, it is a bit different when you know you cannot die."

[4:14] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: So what do you do in it? -takes a big sip of his raktajino-

[4:16] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Well, in its previous iteration, I was basically ze... logistician... of one of ze powers in zere? Basically, I was ze one whose oil fields kept ze empire's war machines going. Now... If I do start >

[4:16] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "It again, I am not quite certain. May'aps it would be fun to be at ze 'elm of one of zose large trains."

[4:18] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: You wanna drive a train?

[4:19] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Why not? It is a different experience."

[4:20] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Didn't you say there were airships in it? There's more freedom in that than driving a a train.... -drinks-

[4:22] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "If I want to experience ze skies, I can just go to ze Chateau and take my shuttle out for a drive, non?"

[4:25] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: A shuttle is not the same as an airship. I presume you mean one of those big balloons used in the first world war?

[4:25] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Eh... a very fantastical version of one, may'aps?"

[4:27] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Isn't that more majestic than a train?

[4:28] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Ze trains are a fantasized version as well... somezhing like zis." *She shows on her PADD.*

[4:28] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -steps out of the shadows and into her ready room, stretches a moment and moves to her desk, picking up a PADD she confirms the Stardate and turns and heads out of her office-

[4:29] [DOIC2] David Allen@ClingingMars: *The bridge is fairly quiet, Beta watch in full swing.*

[4:29] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Doný get me wrong, but this is ugly.

[4:29] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -fingersguns the current Watch officer- No giant space ferrets after us? Or weird space jellies?

[4:30] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I like it. It is somezhing to pass ze time."

[4:30] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -kept reading his book added by the occasional drinking of coffee-

[4:30] [DOIC2] David Allen@ClingingMars: [Watch Officer] Uhhh...no ma'am...this isn't an animated work of entertainment to my knowledge.

[4:31] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "And what are you reading?"

[4:31] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *She goes back to messing with her settings.*

[4:31] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Tennyson.  Something I promised an old captain and friend of mine.

[4:32] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -ponders this and then adds- eh I see...what about murderous teddy bears that make children for themselves out of another woman's unborn child or any indestructable reptiles then?

[4:32] [DOIC2] David Allen@ClingingMars: *The watch officer is stunned into silence.*

[4:32] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Ah... not my zhing, but enjoy."

[4:32] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks- We still good though?

[4:34] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: It grew on me as I got older. -drinks- Have I ever shown you my house on Earth? Can't remember.... we were either at your families chateau or my childhood home.

[4:34] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I 'ave seen your family's 'ome, not yours."

[4:35] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Chuckles down at her PADD.*

[4:35] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -responds to a text with a smirks as she waits for the watch officer to reboot-

[4:36] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Yeah.... Anyways I built up this small library of sorts filled with Earth poets, Caitan epics and all kinds of literature from the different cultures in the Federation.... Even have a few>

[4:36] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -texts again as she waits...-

[4:37] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -texts once more as she waits..occasionally looking to see if he has recovered yet-

[4:37] [DOIC2] David Allen@ClingingMars: [Officer] Uhhh...yes ma'am.

[4:38] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Klingon opera's.... Not that I always listen to them when back home.... but occasionally to get a good sense of Klingon culture.

[4:38] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: Oh there you are..i was worried a moment...ship status?

[4:38] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I did get an appreciation for Cardassian epics at one point. My fianceé did not appreciate."

[4:38] [DOIC2] David Allen@ClingingMars: [Watch Officer] All systems green.

[4:39] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: How fitting with you to appreciate Cardassian epics...

[4:39] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -grins as she turns to head out- Thank you Lieutenant..have agood watch..and be watchful....one never knows what is truly out there

[4:40] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Zey are an intriguing species."

[4:40] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -texts as she leaves thebridge amused-

[4:41] [DOIC2] David Allen@ClingingMars: *The officer just gives her a blank stare.* Aye ma'am.

[4:42] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: That they might be, the term I most often heard was spoonheads.

[4:42] [DOIC2] Razzor@Isis.: -eneters the lounge texting with a playful smirk-

[4:43] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "So did I." *Nods to Liz as she enters.*

[4:43] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -kept reading, not noticing Liz-

[4:53] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -dry chuckles- ce qui peut être fait?

[4:53] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -finishes his mug- Another if I may.

[4:54] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Let me guess...bored with pestering Alex here?

[4:54] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I believe 'e would agree I was not pestering 'im... I was just 'aving a drink."

[4:55] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Reprogramming some old 'olodeck programs I 'ad laying around too, so I am quiet..."

[4:57] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Time is the fire in whcih we all burn...as they say

[4:58] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "It is more like a three year old wiz a ball zat cannot stay in one place."

[4:59] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -took out his pipe and began his pre-smoke inspection of it, once done he'd close his book and stand up- No Time is the cruelest ruler we must all obey, however we can make it buckle and bend. >

[4:59] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I did not take you as ze corporal punishment type... you would be ze softest mozher ever out zere."

[4:59] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: I'll be back. -heads out for a bit-

[5:00] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Do not mind 'im, Liz... 'e is reading Tennyson."

[5:02] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Jacob walks into ten forward, streching slightly looking around ten forward and the people inside.*

[5:03] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Its preditactable but good

[5:03] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Because I was busy doing 7 year old zhings... I read it a few years later."

[5:14] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -slightly turned his body so Zoë could see Liz. Alex then took Zoë's right hand to do a casual salute to the captain-

[5:14] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Raises an eyebrow slightly at the situation before turning to the bartender going to order a drink, but the captain ebats him to it.* "Bring it on"

[5:17] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -Zoë giggled as if she understood what the bosslady said, but in reality she would try to grab Alex's nose-

[5:17] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Smiles* "If a drink like that is not savoured i'd be doing it a disservice."

[5:17] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Smiles, then looks down into her PADD and taps away.*

[5:18] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -nods approvingly to him- Indeed...you are learning Jacob...you are actually learning..why there is hope for you yet

[5:18] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "It takes a while but yes."

[5:19] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Darwinism Jacob....win or loose...youll get there i hope

[5:19] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Isn't that the truth"

[5:20] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks- If you only knew...-toats him- Here is to be at play in the fields of our lords

[5:20] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -After some dodging by Alex Zoë did afterall catch the elusive nose- You're like your cousin! She also always went for the nose..... -eskimo kisses with Zoë-  Barkeep could you warm up some formula>

[5:21] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: for her? She is driving us back home later.

[5:21] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Smirks and returns the toast*

[5:22] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -chuckles- Your desginated pilot Alex?

[5:22] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Give her a few years and she'll be yours too captain.

[5:22] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Oh this Ive little doubt

[5:23] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: She got your nose didnt she? -coyly-

[5:24] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Yeah.... I'm getting to old for this...

[5:24] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: My reflexes aren't what they used to be...

[5:25] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks at his comment- Oder yet wser and more content as they say

[5:27] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Remains focused on his drink savouring it.*

[5:29] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Someone around here has to be wise when Svard isn't around.  By the way captain, You free somewhere next week? I recently acquired some redbreast 15 year a short while ago.

[5:30] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -her eyes light up at the mention of the offered whiskey- My my..Alex..a very tempting offer..how can I resist..yes that sounds good to me..-nods- we should def arrange this

[5:31] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smiles- I think we have earned it recently

[5:31] [DOIC3] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I shall bid you good evening." *She said, draining her glass and taking the chocolate with herself.*

[5:31] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Let me know when, you provide the glasses ofcourse. Have we earned it? I'm not to sure about that....but we got close.

[5:33] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks- Everyone came home...for me that is a win CAG

[5:35] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: A win it might be captain, but to earn something like the redbreast one must beat a Ferengi at his own game.

[5:35] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -takes a sipof her drink as she listens-

[5:36] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Theres not an enemy we can't overcome yet, but when we do we will find a way.

[5:36] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Hmmm very true..-to Alex then to Alex- confident..simplisitc but not often wrong jacob

[5:40] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -makes silly faces with Zoë again-   Anyways what might we expect this month in space? The weirdest stuff always happen round now.

[5:40] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: More spirit shinaginins?

[5:40] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -chuckles- Most likely...but I doubt we will not be able to handle it

[5:40] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: We just break out the proton packs and traps

[5:41] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Sounds like fun

[5:41] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: As long as my face doesn't melt this time or I get seperated from the little one here too long I am fine with what we face.

[5:41] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Yeah you dont fit the role of the incrediblemelting man too well

[5:42] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Dont worry Alex..Ill always get yaback toher and the wife

[5:43] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Don't get me wrong captain, but you never got me back. The crew did, sure you had a presence.... but in the end it is the crew who does it. Not you, not I, not even callihan overthere. All of us.

[5:44] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Is sat down on the floor in front of the coffee table, helping Cynna build a lego set.*

[5:45] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Theres a reason why these Spirits fear the captain, for good reason."

[5:50] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: If that is what you want to believe Callihan so be it. -Helps Zoë acquire some of his hair so she could have a wig-

[5:51] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "We have all seen it. These are not the type of enemies to notice you if your nothing. They beleive they are the giants and we are the ants."

[5:52] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "In the old saying a lion does nto concerns themsevles with the opinion of a sheep"

[5:53] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks- Well then I am just glad to be apart of the team then Alex -takesa swig-

[5:54] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: You should be happy they don't notice you Callihan. They won't expect you because their ego's don't allow it. And I may not be a religious man, but my wife is andf she loves to tell the story of>

[5:54] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: David and the Goliath.

[5:55] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks as she listens enjoying her sip of scotch-

[5:57] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -looks straight into the happy babies eyes- And what do we do when mathair tells her bible stories? We listen and think about high fiving the Federation President while doing a loopdiloop.

[6:00] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: And trust me Callihan, sometimes it is better to remain unknown. I am known on a couple of planets for good reasons and bad reasons and neither has me really feeling happy about it.

[6:00] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: ...rookie -teases and sips her scotch down- bartender one mor eplease

[6:00] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "So far" *Laughs with her*

[6:02] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -as she waits for her drink says dryly- One never appreciates one's anonymity until you don't have it anymore.

[6:02] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Dont waste it jacob...dont ever waste it

[6:03] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "No but when it ends, you go loud or go home"

[6:03] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Always go home Callihan. The loud part more often than not is entwined with that.

[6:03] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks- Nice to hear from one of my men who must often rely on stealth -smirks-

[6:03] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -nods to Alex-

[6:03] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Sets out the dinner for herself and Cynna to cool, kneeling down to refill Mr. Hiss' water bowl and food as well, before heading in to finally wipe and wash away her makeup and get dressed comfy.*

[6:04] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Hear hear CAG

[6:04] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -helps feed and weater Mr Hiss-

[6:05] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Shrugs slighhtly and finishses his scotch also*

[6:05] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks- History is made at night jacob...character is who you are in the dark

[6:05] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Smiles at Cynna once she's out.* "You know you do not need to do zat yoursefl when I'm 'ere, oui?"

[6:06] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -blicks her little multifaceted eyes- Why Momma?

[6:06] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Because I can do it for you, dear... it is what I am 'ere for, non?"

[6:06] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Thats...true..."

[6:07] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] and I can help you too Momma when I am here non?

[6:07] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Well, if you wish... but if you remember, when I first took you into zis room, I did promise you would never 'ave to work."

[6:07] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks some as she receives her new drink- Hard to do when yelling your fool head off son

[6:07] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks some as she receives her new drink- Hard to do when yelling your fool head off son

[6:09] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Your right...All i mean twas if they know you. Your give them a reason to not forget, not to hide away from it."

[6:10] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -smiles barringhe fangs- Oui Momma! But with you as my Momma and Daddy and Momma Sophia..I wantt o do it..it isnot work then..it is just nice!

[6:11] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Callihan would you rather they feared you, the delta's, the fighterpilots or the ship as a whole when engaging?

[6:11] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Why do your enemies need to know your name jacob...if one does it right..they arent around any more to tell poeple

[6:11] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "You are just too sweet. But if you ever feel you need a break, zat is alright too, after all, 'elping you and caring for you is what makes me 'appy." *She kisses the top of Cynna's head, then goes >

[6:11] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -holds up to let jacob answer Alex-

[6:12] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *To set their dinner down once Cynna is done with the table.*

[6:12] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -the little one finishes setting up the table and evenbounds over to get the food for them out of the replicator before joining her- oui Momma!

[6:13] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -is al lbubbly and happy as she sits down to eat-

[6:14] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Sits down opposite Cynna, sighing a bit in a rare moment of contentment.* "You know, once we get back to ze Citadel, you should invite zat kzari boy over for dinner or a sleepover again.. I promise >

[6:15] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "To be quiet and stay in my room like last time."

[6:16] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -cants her head- You mean Ramal??

[6:16] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Looks to Alex* "The ship, if it's a single section that very strength can become a weakness. It's double edged... You are right captain."

[6:16] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oui... you were quite eager to invite 'im last time, non?" *She teases the tiniest bit, taking a bite out of her quiche.*

[6:16] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: ((A forkful*))

[6:16] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -looks down some- Yes..but...

[6:17] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "What is wrong?"

[6:17] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -sighs- Ramal..had to go away and he is not sure why or when he is coming back

[6:19] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I see... worry not, dear. I am sure 'e will be fine. Just zhink of 'im and 'ope your best for 'im."

[6:19] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -nodnods- He said it was his duty to protect his Momma..his daddy said it was a special mission!

[6:20] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "'E will do it, I am sure."

[6:21] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Now I wanna go further Callihan. Rather have it be your ship that is known, your fleet or the entirety of Starfleet?

[6:23] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: -looks over at jacob to this-

[6:23] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -looks over at jacob to this-

[6:23] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] Ohyes he is very brave and very smart! -nodnodnods-

[6:24] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "That would be a big challenge, it would take many captains, Admerials and more to do their part and work together."

[6:24] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Exactly. And you can pray and 'ope for 'im, but try not to worry too much... it will only make ze time till next you see 'im pass slower. Now you are back on ze ship and we can at least spend more >

[6:24] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Time togezher again. Anytime you want it when I am not on duty."

[6:26] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Wouldn't you say the same onboard a starship itself? I have to work with Chalons to make sure fighters and Dleta's are coordinated, security protects medical, medical saves us all and science>

[6:26] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] Okies Momma! I am sooo haooy to be hon again Momma..I really did miss it!! and I missed you and daddy and Momma Sohpia so much!

[6:26] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -takes a sip of her drink, closing her eyes a moment as she enjoys the warmth of her taste-

[6:27] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: department make sure we can actually do what she cooks up..... All of us work together like the captains in a taskforce or admirals in fleets.

[6:27] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I missed you too. More zan you could imagine. I want to be 'ere for you as you grow up."

[6:27] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Thats for the politicans to sort out."

[6:27] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -nodnodnods- That is because you a great Momma!

[6:28] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: No, politicians make sure the federation sticks together or make it grow.

[6:29] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Or tear it apart."

[6:29] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Admirals could tear up Starfleet, Captains their ships and department heads their respected departments.

[6:30] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Well, I am very 'appy you zhink so. You are a great daughzer and make it all ze easier for me.'

[6:30] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Everyones got their use

[6:31] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -silly faces intensifies between Alex and Zoë-

[6:31] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -beams- I wannabe good for my parents! Because i can choose to be and not need to be

[6:31] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -winces a barely visible wince at jacobs comment-

[6:31] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: But I still haven't heard an answer Callihan. Ship, fleet or Starfleet.

[6:31] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Smiles.* "Lovely... Now, I will tell you somezhing... it is a secret between us, and it may not work out as planned, so promise me not to get your 'opes up first?"

[6:32] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Well starfleet as a whole would be better.

[6:33] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -nodnodnods- Oui Momma...Je garderai le secret!

[6:33] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: But what is your opinion?

[6:34] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Bien... now... if... certain zhings do not change, in a few years, I am zhinking of taking in anozher child... so you may get anozher brozher or sister, eventually."

[6:34] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Starfleet as a wholee as of right now is to idealistic, but we can lay the foundatations for it.

[6:34] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -smiles and cheers- Yay! A new brother or sister AND a new Daddy!

[6:35] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Huh?"

[6:35] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Callihan that idealism is what made the Federation big, what made it inspiring, what made sure that you and I are still here and not fighting another pointless worldwar back on Earth.

[6:36] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -all smiles- Well..if you are to have anew young Momma..um..-seems alittle embaressed- Do you not need a daddy to like you..like Daddy is for Momma Sophie??

[6:36] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I was speaking of adoption, dear."

[6:36] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "But it didn't start out like that, it took many years of building."

[6:36] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] Ooooh! -smilesmore- You are going to save another like me???

[6:37] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks more as she listens-

[6:37] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "If I never find someone I wish to 'ave a child wiz, ze... way you zhought of, zen oui."

[6:37] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: The idealism was there at the start Callihan. Haven't you ever learned about Admiral Archer at school?

[6:37] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] But you will! You are awesome!

[6:38] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -giggles a shy little hiss- You can attract anyone Momma..you are a hero

[6:38] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Of course."

[6:38] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Even better, haven't you learned about Zefram Cochrane? Whose idealism after breaking warp and meeting Vulcans back on earth actually united us. And then we as a united Earth brought our idealism to >

[6:39] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Or T'Pol...or Ambassador Shran...or Ambassador Gr'och?

[6:39] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: the VUlcans, Andorians, Tellarites and the people of Alpha Centauri.

[6:39] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Valerie chuckles.* "If you say so, dear... But eizher way, I do 'ope zat someday in ze future, you will 'ave anozher little sibling."

[6:40] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: ..the band of the hand

[6:40] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Again raised by historians here

[6:40] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: Did you not listen to them then?

[6:41] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "I did"

[6:41] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: {Cynna] -throws her little arms up and whoots- Yay! and I will be the best big sister to someone else!

[6:41] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: You heard the stories, but didn't listen Callihan.

[6:42] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I am absolutely certain you will be. But it will likely be a few years from now."

[6:42] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -sips her drink- give him a moment Alex..he will sor itout

[6:42] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Of course i did... Alll i meant was we have a long way to go for that yet as of right now all it is is an idea

[6:43] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: But if we keep working towards it, we will make it

[6:44] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -to Alex- There ya go

[6:44] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Then why say Starfleet as of now is too idealistic?

[6:44] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "No the idea of them fearing all of starfleet right now is idealistic"

[6:45] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Thats what we were disccussign was it not?"

[6:45] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Hmm then I have a final question for you Callihan. Is better to be feared by the leaders or inspiring to the masses, the grunts, the people you and I face.

[6:47] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Both you need to find the balance

[6:49] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: One might say that if you inspire the masses, the leadership have no say. People make the change, not the leaders.

[6:50] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: But if you inspiring the masses those in power will begin to fear you,

[6:50] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -chuckles-

[6:51] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: But if the leadership fears you, they'll work on turning the masses against you.

[6:52] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Starts cleaning up the table after herself and Cynna.*

[6:52] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: And there are those who fear change and will fight it with every fibre of their being.

[6:53] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -is right beside her dutifully heklpingf her Momma-

[6:53] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: Having the ideals for change is good, but you also need the power, the strength, the will to back them up otherwise they are just empty words

[6:54] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "You will make a great mozher yourself, someday..." *She pats Cynna's head proudly, going to recycle the plates.*

[6:54] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Sure you need power and strength, but why use it for fear? Back on the Seven Provinces we used the power and strength of the Federation to save a colony world from anatural disaster, earned the palm >

[6:56] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: leaf of Axanar for it even.... My seanathair talked sussed out a civil war on some war away planet by just showing them the power of cooperation, not war.

[6:56] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "Fear is a natural part of life, it is good. If you overely focus on it as well its bad, its why you need balance like i said."

[6:56] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: He inspired the people, new leaders got elected and now they thrive.

[6:56] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: You cannot be afriad to use it, but you must be careful in how you use it

[6:56] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -beams at her mother- I hope so! Orther children need tro see families can be a good thing!

[6:58] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Callihan, the only thing we have to fear is.... fear itself.

[6:58] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks- Fear has a large shadow..but he himself in person.is rather small

[6:58] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I know you will be, dear. You are a very special young lady." *She hugged Cynna.* "You are my little sun."

[7:00] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "There are many forms of fear, fear of brreaking the law for one. Fear of hurting someone. Fear takes as many forms as their are stars."

[7:00] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -warmly hugs back and says happily and proudly- and you aremy hero momma! Mon héros!

[7:01] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smirks at this and has one more drink- Fear isa clothes horse then

[7:01] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -gets nose booped by Zoë-  Why the nose Zoë? -boops Zoë's nose back- Now i get it....

[7:01] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -smiles at alex and Zoe's antics-

[7:01] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Holds the hug for a bit, then kisses Cynna's nose.* "I am glad you zhink so... now, do you wish to do anyzhing, or are you sleepy? Or do I just leave you to your own devices?"

[7:03] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: [Cynna] -thinks and then- Popcorn and halloween movie??

[7:04] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Zat works... go and pick out ze movie, I will replicate popcorn... lots of butter, d'accord."

[7:04] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -downs her scotch in one long swallow- Okay gentleman..I shall leave you two to tackle the depthsof what fear and inspiration..I have some things i must see to before bed

[7:05] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: --stands- for i have miles to go before i sleep..miles to go before i sleep

[7:05] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Likewise Captain. Zoë is gooing to get a tour of hangardeck. Inspire the greasemonkeys and all of that riffraff.

[7:06] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: -darts over to pickout Marty Mugato's halloween party and scooby doo episodes-

[7:06] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: "I need to turn in also"

[7:07] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: -Alex takes Cynna's hand again to casually salute Liz-

[7:07] [DOIC5] Razzor@Isis.: My bes to Sophia CAG.jacob be good or theboogeyman will get ya -winks-

[7:07] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: My bes to Sophia CAG.jacob be good or theboogeyman will get ya -winks-

[7:07] [DOIC3] Jacob@redwolf567#2352: *Laughs* "He can try,"

[7:07] [DOIC3] Razzor@Isis.: -promplty salutes back- Carry one Crewman Zoe..take chargeof this old man and see him home safely

[7:07] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: Zoe's hand*))

[7:08] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Plops down on the couch with two blankets and a big plastic bowl of popcorn for the two.*(

[7:08] [DOIC5] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Old scooby-doo... I approve."

[7:08] [DOIC3] Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#3975: See you when you take over for me after Gamma shift captain.
