Pilgrim 8/28

[8:51] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme begins to play... *

[8:53] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * The episode opens on the Pilgrim gliding smoothly through the dark abyss, a star system not
far ahead.  One could see that the hull was still in a state of repair, but the majority of the panels...

[8:54] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: on its underbelly that had been scraped during their last mission seemed to be either restored
or well on their way.  Cuts of the crew show a general somber mood, and T'Pang's voice over can be heard.

[8:54] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *

[8:54] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's Log, Stardate 95633.79. We towed the now lifeless Kirtascan battleships back to the Citadel
for the engineering and science teams there to study. The Pilgrim is now headed back to ...

[8:55] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: LMC 2085. Where we will get our first real look at the after effects of our most recent disaster.
Long range scans seem to indicate the darkness has moved on. Although, we are not sure where. It is ..

[8:57] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: my hope that access to previously unexplored areas of the ruins will give us insight into the nature
of the monster, where it may be headed, and most importantly how to deal with it. Meanwhile the ...

[8:58] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: deaths of the two young ensigns seems to have deeply effected the crew. We will be having a memorial
service in their honor in a couple of hours. End Log.

[8:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *A very clearly aggravated klingon sat behind his science console, eyes bloodshot and baggy,
constantly refreshing his messages, hoping the Daystrom institute had already seen the paper he finished >

[8:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *In T'Vin's memory.*

[8:59] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she switches off the log recorder and puts it away, there is a look of general exhaustion on her
face.--

[9:00] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris walks up next to Kol and taps him on the arm.*

[9:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *T'Ghor had no new messages.*

[9:00] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Hey." *He offered, his tone measured.* "You doing okay today?"

[9:00] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glances over at the dress uniform laid out for her by some generic as yet unnamed yoeman.--

[9:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Grumpily flies the ship towards its destination, making small adjustments to its course*

[9:00] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is standing at the primary engineering station.*

[9:00] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He looked down at Serris with a slight frown.*  "I don't think any of us are."

[9:01] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was a tiny crease in the jacket.*

[9:01] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor seemed to be locked in a grump contest with Ilya, the grump levels from behind the
science console for once rivaling those behind the helms console.*

[9:01] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Fifteen minutes to our next bloody disaster in the making, Lefthenant"

[9:01] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --her eyes narrow--

[9:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Joy..."

[9:02] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I know." *He looked to the station where Laige usually worked.* "I was thinking I might say
something at the memorial."

[9:02] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She looked over at Li, sucking on her lower lip.*

[9:02] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Were you two close?"

[9:02] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Bang on. All that is missing is a public communeal song of always look on the brigt side of life and we
outdone ourself"

[9:02] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Let's hope that no stupid religious fanatic tries to hold us at gunpoint this time, nobody
wants to negotiate with them anymore..."

[9:02] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li just stares ahead at his console.*

[9:03] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not really, but... he had this general aura of positivity about him. We didn't talk much, but
it's different without him here."

[9:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Oh, come on, lighten the hell up.  With that thing gone, at least we can now figure
out what it was, how it got stuck down there for who knows how long."

[9:03] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Who cares?"

[9:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Yeah, let us get the sciencey bits out of the way so someone else can kill it,
probably."

[9:04] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We should. We damn well owe it to T'Vin and Laige, their deaths shouldn't have been for
nothing."

[9:04] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey breaks up the silence in the medical office by playing soft music while she reads files.*

[9:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "It is definitely a diffetent emotional climate without the guy...  I think even Sulok
over there is sad."

[9:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  *He was working expressionlessly on one of the consoles in back.*

[9:05] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sips on her cup of tea, distracted by the unfortunate crease in her dress uniform.--

[9:05] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *One medical file that may be of particular interest is that of the enigmatic Serris Zital,
whose species is native to high gravity and is sexually monomorphic. How bizarre!*

[9:05] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "That's nice, ma'am, what is it?"

[9:05] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The more she stared at it, the more offensive it became.*

[9:05] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Nothing we do, especially not in the area of 'science' during war will change they brought the farm. If
we wish to give them any shivers of honour we should go on and for once do something useful, >

[9:05] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Hmm? OH.. it's rather old.  Mazzy Star is the name of the band."

[9:06] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > not dally around like chavs with microscopes ignoring there is a blood ywar going on"

[9:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I know you're a cardassian, and you're not too sharp, but what we are doing could possibly
bring an entire species to our side."

[9:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Should be pretty fucking obvious."

[9:07] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Never heard of it, is it an Earth band?"

[9:07] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "How are the hull repairs coming along?"

[9:07] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yes, late 20th century."

[9:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She headed over to Li, reaching for his arm.*  "Hey.  You need me to cover for you
again?"

[9:08] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "You are very observant, I can see why they let you be a scientist whe nyou dishonoured yoruself from any
real work"

[9:08] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImKY6TZEyrI&list=PLMDxky9uVoZyyZkJr2H1xdQCuX1sz9mKA  *

[9:08] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "How interesting!  Isn't is strange how everyone seems to pick songs from twentieth
and twenty-first century Earth when they do karaoke?  Something about that era..."

[9:08] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: -Buzzes about sickbay doing something totally not late-

[9:09] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "In my several months here, I have saved more lives than you have, and done much more work than
you. If we are talking of dishonour, I think it's whining like a whelp while everyone else is trying to>

[9:09] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Do their bit."

[9:09] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Aera.. come in here please."

[9:09] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang strolls out onto the bridge.--

[9:09] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: -Aera walks into Dalliance's Office- Yes, ma'am?

[9:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* I am fine.

[9:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "We're on schedule, if we'd had the time to stop at the Citadel and fix it up we'd
probably be done by now, but we don't really have much time when it comes to craziness like this."

[9:09] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "How are you?  Holding up?"

[9:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain."

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --without a word she takes her seat.--

[9:10] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: I am holding up fine. -She nods some-

[9:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "You are truly so pathetic you need to lie and make up stories? you are a bloody failure"

[9:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He got up out of the chair and handed it off to T'Pang.*  "Ma'am.  We're on approach
to LMC 2085."

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --then suddenly a wild Valkriss appears!--

[9:10] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor gives T'Pang a very stiff nod, his eyes practically frying Ilya alive.*

[9:10] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I know I am new here, but please.. if you ever need to talk, know that I am available. all right?"

[9:11] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Make up stories? I damn well saved Arfacio's life. What did you do? Sat there and let the
bajoran do all the work?"

[9:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "acknowledged" --she sais with minimal enthusiasm.--

[9:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Both of you calm the hell down."

[9:11] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: -Smiles softly- Ofcourse. Are you alright, ma'am?

[9:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she notes the rather tense exchange betwen helm and science-- "Lieutenants T'Ghor and Ilya, is
there a problem?"

[9:12] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris attempts to Galaxy Brain™ a time efficient solution using knowledge gathered from the
Mirror Universe and having to use gravity plating extensively throughout his time in Starfleet.*

[9:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Commander Valkriss, Could you for educations sake inform the bag of lost mabrles over there about mine,
and later your own and Lefthenant Eldrax exploits against the mirror Adagio?"

[9:12] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She nodded.*  "Only about two hours left before beta shift and... the memorial."

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "How long ago were those exploits, spoonhead? You're nothing more than an annoyance and a
negative influence on the whole bridge crew's morale nowadays."

[9:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "You are both out of line."

[9:13] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Honestly, I'm frustrated.  I'd wish to be of more use to this crew.. I know what it is like to lose
friends and coworkers.  But I am still on the outside, you understand that feeling?"

[9:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She smacked her palm to her face.*

[9:14] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "You stated the timeframe, not I"

[9:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: ENOUGH!

[9:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I understand that given recent event there is a great deal of emotional stress. But, if you are
incabable of performing your duties in a professional manner...you can be relieved."

[9:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -snaps=

[9:14] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: I know that feeling very much. -She would smile again- It is only like your second week, I think you are
doing a great job so far ma'am.

[9:14] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We haven't really had the chance to talk outside of work."

[9:14] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Grins as she hears Valkriss snap*

[9:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --glances at Valkriss as she snaps--

[9:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I won't let my work be disrespected, Captain... but it could wait until the shift ends."

[9:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Have we completed the post repair diagnostics?

[9:15] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you.  I won't hold you up.. I've noticed that you know what you are doing.  Though if you have
questions or need something, I'm here."

[9:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "On everything that's been repaired so far."

[9:15] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Mister T'Ghor..enough means shut the hell up or you are relieved

[9:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sorry... I've been running around trying to get this hull fixed while we're still
flying around."

[9:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Understood, Commander..."

[9:15] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods toward Valkriss in approval--

[9:16] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No, no, I totally get why. It's just... well, with everything that's been going on, I wanted
to remind you that I'm still here for you."

[9:16] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: There is still much I can learn from the Federation methods. -She would nod some- I was not doing much
important do not worry.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -draws a deep breath barely swallowing a deep growl-

[9:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Four minutes untill arival, ma'am"

[9:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Right now , we need to be focusing on more important matters."

[9:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Acknowledged helm."

[9:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "take us to red alert. Just in case we are wrong about this dark entity being gone."

[9:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Yeah, let's focus that impotent rage on the scary cloud lady."

[9:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He nodded.*  "THanks, Serris... I know."  *He smiled down at the Blueberry.*

[9:19] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey keeps an eye to her staff while she work familiarizing herself to crew and ship.  She is
concerned for emotional and mental welfare in stressful times.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *she just heaved a sigh.*

[9:19] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: -Goes back to what she had been doing before-

[9:19] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Can I be honest with you?"

[9:19] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Of course"

[9:20] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Good.

[9:20] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "All hands... red alert.  Approaching LMC 2085."

[9:20] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "After everything that's happened, I'm thinking of asking Starfleet Sciences and Starfleet
Tactical for permission to develop my research for offensive purposes."

[9:20] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The klaxons began to sound across the ship.*

[9:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Dropping out of warp in five... four ..." *She coutns down and brings the ship out of warp and continues
its motion at low impulse just to not sit still during red alert*

[9:21] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Your... research that got buried under so much classification it's not going to see the
light of day until the year 3000?"

[9:22] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey looks to her staff, to ensure they are doing as needed, then secures her terminal of patient
data and tunes to the bridge channel.*

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Let's take a quick pass through the system near the planet full senbsor scans."

[9:22] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Maybe it's my newfound inner Terran talking, but between the Tzenkethi and this ambiguously
corporeal malevolent cloud, I think it would serve us well to have something like that in reserve."

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: **sensor

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Initiating scans, Captain." *T'Ghor does so.*

[9:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We will head in and survey the area. If everything is clear we will assume an orbit over the ruins
and send down a team to explore the previously unexplored areas."

[9:22] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: -Is busy getting the medical kits and whatnot ready and stuff-

[9:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You realise you're not going to be able to work on it unless you go to the Daystrom
Institute, right?"

[9:23] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That had crossed my mind, yes."

[9:23] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Aye, taking a butchers sweep, ma'am" *Changes course of the ship to take them on a very unpredicted route
across the system to get a close position to the lanet*

[9:23] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: An exterior shot shows the Pilgrim cruising into the outer system and taking an erratic route to
the dead planet ahead.

[9:24] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The truth of the matter is, the knowledge I possess can save billions, if not trillions,
through direct intervention just as much as it can through intimidation. It all depends on application."

[9:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "So you're saying you want to leave the ship."

[9:24] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm saying I'm thinking about it."

[9:25] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Honestly, after everything that's happened, I don't even want to sleep in my own room, but I
can't go anywhere else except the cargo bays without compromising my health."

[9:25] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: Ilya's strange route takes much longer than anticipated as they loop around a particularly
rotund gas giant.

[9:26] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor tries not to roll his eyes at the illogical route.*

[9:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Might be seen smiling slightly as she rides teh gravity curvature of teh gas gigant*

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Valkriss.-- "protocols dictate a armed security presence if we beam a team to the
surface. But, if that creature returns I am uncertain what good it would do."

[9:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You didn't request different quarters?"

[9:27] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Captain. Nothing incorporeal in the ruins. Guaranteed, I am getting a very clear scan. I am
picking up the Kirtascans' leftover equipment."

[9:28] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The special nature of my physiology means there needs to be a single occupancy cabin
available. Last I checked, there weren't any, and even if there were, it would need to be retrofitted with new -

[9:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *Her eyes widened as she looked at the screen.*  "Li!  Are you thinking what I am?"

[9:28] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - gravity plating. That's a lot of work, especially seeing as Other-Me burned just about every
bridge I had here."

[9:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I am curious ....why would it return captain?

[9:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It was imprisioned there

[9:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "understood. Lieutenant T'Ghor prepare a science team. Minimal compliment."

[9:29] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I do agree a security presence should accompy them however

[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Minimal..." *T'Ghor sends a message to Jagoda to prepare to go down to the planet, along with
the equipment needed.*

[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Valkriss-- "I don't anticipate it returning. But, we should not discount any
possibility before we know what this creature is and what motivates it."

[9:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks to Jill curiously.* I've been...a bit distracted.

[9:30] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He looked at his PADD.*  "Aww..."

[9:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Do you remember that drone we tied in to the holodeck when we were on that planet
that had been struck by plague?"

[9:30] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Prepare a security detail to escort the away team."

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Aye ma'am."

[9:32] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "But you're here, and I want to fix us. I don't want to abandon that, but there's just so much
baggage here. I'm not sure whether I'm making things worse by staying."

[9:32] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey looks to Aera* "They are prepping an Away team.. how are you really? something you are up
to?"

[9:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Fully armored with Rifles Mister Rhys

[9:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks about for that damn yoeman.--

[9:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...Can we talk about this maybe when we're not supposed to be working, Serris?"

[9:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain permission to accompany the away team this time

[9:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --the crease in her dress uniform jacket still plauging her.--

[9:32] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* The Bajoran colony.

[9:33] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Right, sorry. Timing's been bad."

[9:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "permission granted."

[9:33] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He saunters back over to his console.*

[9:33] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: -Looks to Dalliance- Perhaps I should stay here this time, I do not believe I was much help last time?

[9:33] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "If they have safety concerns, why not send one down to check and make sure there's
nothing down there?"

[9:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Looks at Valkriss with a sigh before returning to focus on her flying. What smile there may been is now
gone*

[9:33] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: The Pilgrim finally approached the planet, soon falling into a standard orbit.

[9:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Dreon VII...*Li softly says as he recallls how many fell to the plague.* That's a good idea.

[9:34] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Engineering to bridge.

[9:34] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge here, go ahead engineering.=/\=

[9:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= If there is a safety risk on the planet...I would recommend the use of a remote controlled
drone before sending crew down on the planet. We executed this successfully before.

[9:36] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey sends a text to the bridge "I suggest, due to conditions, medical presence on the surface.
I stand ready to go down myself if needed. - D.Delancey.*

[9:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: ....he means a probe

[9:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -said dryly-

[9:36] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor growls, looking at his roster.* =^= "Zital, prepare to head to the surface."

[9:36] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Droopy ears perked up for a moment.* =/\= "Aye, sir."

[9:37] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey gathers appropriate equipment for an away mission, adding several sample containers.*

[9:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She checked her console.*  "The CMO reports she's ready to head down as well."

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glances at Valkriss-- "Yes. Do you see any logical reason to employ such caustious measures."

[9:38] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He headed for the supply closet to take out a tool kit, tricorder, hand phaser, and a
shoulder strap container full of pattern enhancers, just in case.*

[9:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks to T'Pang- Well any information gained from orbit prior to beam down is only logical Captain

[9:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: If its back and eats the probe it saves us the trip

[9:39] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I assume they will be following procedures, if you have any trouble, call in Dr Vant from Beta Shift.
It should be quiet though."

[9:39] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris shot Kol one last parting gaze before leaving engineering and heading for the
turbolift down the hall.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Logical."

[9:39] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to her at that-

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks to T'Pang, as if waiting on the order for the probe.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Engineering, prepare your probe. We will send it down first."

[9:39] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: Yes, ma'am -she nods-

[9:40] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks at T'Ghor as if to say engineering has to get it ready before it can be fired-

[9:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She grinned at Li with that and headed off to get started.*

[9:40] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris leaned against the back wall in the turbolift.* "Deck four."

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Gayle tell the chief medical officer to standby."

[9:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Do we need to make it a holo-probe, though?  Just a standard visual should be
enough."

[9:41] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey makes some rustling, and a mild curse as she changes in the labe store room.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye, ma'am."

[9:41] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah I think visual will be fine.

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Bridge to Doctor Delancey."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -rubs the bridge of her nose a moment-

[9:41] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Understood.

[9:41] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li gives Jill a small smile.* You got this?

[9:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Having arrived in the transporter room, Serris walks over to the equipment locker and begins
to suit up for EVA.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Something the matter, Commander?"

[9:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Mhm, I think so!  Standard visual probe..."

[9:42] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: ...several things Lieutenant

[9:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Transporter Operator]  "...Can I help you?"

[9:43] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Uh... shouldn't that be... OH!  Yeah, I got it!"

[9:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "They're sending an away team down to the surface shortly. I don't have anything better to do,
so I'm just getting ready ahead of time."

[9:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Transporter Operator]  "Shouldn't you go to the shuttle bay then?"

[9:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Right, transporter technology over here is different."

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Err... right.  Sorry."

[9:44] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I am sure it could be worse, Commander"

[9:44] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Okay, we're ready!"

[9:44] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sorry, I'm still having, well... moments."

[9:44] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T.O.]  *He stared at Serris blankly.*

[9:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Engineering to bridge, we are ready.

[9:44] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey walks out, looks at Aera* "Goddess I hate these boots."

[9:45] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -dryly to Illya- If it begins to rain right now on this bridge Helm...I am using Mister T'Ghor to beat
you to death

[9:45] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Long story." *He offered meekly as he took off the EVA suit.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *One could faintly hear thunder.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor grinned a bit, enjoying the idea of being used as a blunt weapon to batter Ilya.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "That is alright, he is spineless so should not be that dangerous"

[9:46] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Sadly, my normal attire wouldn't work in an encounter suit."

[9:46] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Funny to hear from one who cannot be bothered to do anything but talk."

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Okay, okay... Engineering reports they're ready."

[9:46] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "May I sugest a squeekyhammer as an upgrade, commander?"

[9:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Last warning....both of you

[9:46] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Ready to launch probe on your orders."

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Squeaky hammer?"

[9:46] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris quickly gathered his things and headed back for the turbolift, praying he wouldn't
bump into anyone.*

[9:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As the turbolift doors opened, he could see Jagoda standing inside.*

[9:47] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey returns to the desk to monitor the situation.*

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "You may launch the probe at will."

[9:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Sends an image to Gayle ( https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/CDUAAOSw-0xYSZSp/s-l300.jpg  ) *

[9:47] [DOIC4] Aera@dardez1: -Aera looks to Dalliance quietly when she walks out then goes back to what she was doing-

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor silently judges Valkriss' taste in women, launching the probe.*

[9:48] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris's hair stands on end, ears at full attention. He walks inside, but pivots immediately
facing the opposite direction from the Ensign and wordlessly enters deck ten on the manual control.*

[9:48] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: T'Ghor fires the probe in the exact wrong direction.  It flies into the wall of the canyon with
a spectacular crash.

[9:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *Her jaw dropped.*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Plonker..."

[9:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods once- .....wow

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She facepalmed.*

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *One could practically hear T'Ghor's glare at the probe controls.*

[9:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain.....we need another probe

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --remain silent, looks like she might scream or maybe even cry.--

[9:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li blinks.*

[9:50] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "Uhh... okay?"

[9:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ummm...what?

[9:50] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to engineering, we need another probe.=/\=

[9:50] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Problem was in the chair... not the system."

[9:50] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris is doing his best not to scream, biting his bottom lip hard enough to draw blood,
sweat beading on his skin as his shallow, labored, anxious breathing punctuates the humming of the lift as -

[9:50] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - they both descend towards the shuttlebay.*

[9:51] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She sighed.*  "I'll get another one ready..."

[9:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain?  Are you alright?"

[9:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant T'Ghor if you are unable to focus on the task at hand, I can relieve you. Shall I call
Lieutenant Zital up here?"

[9:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= We are working on it, ma'am.

[9:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Gayle-- "I am fine."

[9:52] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I can focus... momentary lapse. The argentina's probee controls were different..."

[9:53] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: ...apparently

[9:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Ah... damn it!  Something's up... I'll go check it out."  *She jogged off.*

[9:53] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey makes notes to herself about crew members she wishes to re-examine.*

[9:53] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Ma'am, I am possitive Gayle can do a simple scan if theres and ID ten tee issue at the science concole"

[9:53] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The lift doors opened.*

[9:53] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor glares at the console options.* "...Who the hell inverted the X-axis..." *He ticks the
invert axis box off.*

[9:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Ilya, you need to shut up and perform you own job before I have you relieved."

[9:54] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris immediately bolted out at a brisk pace.*

[9:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He snickered.*

[9:54] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -seethes with a soft snarl now-

[9:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Grins* "Aye ma'am"

[9:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.*

[9:55] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He does his best to avoid bumping into people, but that's kind of hard to do when you're
emotionally and visibly on the edge of a panic attack.*

[9:55] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  *From behind Li.*  "She should've just tried a different console.  You'd think she'd
know better by now, huh?"

[9:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Where is that probe?"

[9:58] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: She?

[9:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to engineering, do we have an time frame on that second probe?=/\=

[9:59] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *slyly rolls her thumbs as she watches the ship keep its orbit*

[10:00] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor studies the controls for any other unexpected surprises while he waits.*

[10:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --can't quite get the crease in her dress uniform jacket out of her mind.--

[10:00] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris practically crashes into the vehicle hangar bay, slumping against a type 9
shuttlecraft and doing his best to regain his normal breathing.*

[10:01] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Jill, she just walked off instead of trying a different console!  Weird mistake to
make.  Must be something on her mind."

[10:01] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li's eyes go wide\, looking behind him.*

[10:02] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she drums her fingers on her arm rest impatiently--

[10:02] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Laige was standing there in his uniform, looking just as he did before.*

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she grits her teeth.-- "where is that probe?"

[10:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Engineering isn't responding."

[10:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she hangs her head--

[10:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Uhhh...

[10:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Li...Dower...respond..NOW!

[10:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -growls darkly into her com-

[10:04] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *smiles to herself as she keeps rolling ehr thumbs, starting to really enjoy the situation*

[10:04] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Please not him, anyone but him. I don't know if I can take it."

[10:04] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= This...is Li...ummm...I'm looking at...Ensign...Laige...

[10:04] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Rhys...dispatch a security team to main engineering right now

[10:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Why did you have to tell them that?"

[10:05] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Gayle scan for intruders

[10:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor blinks at that.* "Captain... may I suggest Salvation protocols? Just in case?"

[10:05] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "aye ma'am."

[10:05] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Scanning... I'm only reading Zorin in engineering."

[10:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Valkriss at hearing the comm message from Li--

[10:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Because...you are dead.

[10:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Definitely suggesting the salvation protocols, then."

[10:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -snarls- I concur

[10:06] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "No.  I'm free."  *He smiled at Li.*  "You can be, too."

[10:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Have security investigate, if necessary have Lieutenant Li report to sick bay for an evalustion."

[10:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Though...they are not often effective against the more powerful enities of the dark

[10:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I have already dispacthed security captain

[10:06] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey looks up Salvation protocol on her terminal.. *

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Let's hope the monster from the planet below found its old cronies and sent one of them,
then."

[10:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Oh..."  *He suddenly disappeared from view as the security team barged in.*

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We are not prepared o face her directly."

[10:07] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Raises an fist*

[10:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "Where is it?"

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We can not discount that this could be some sort of hallucination."

[10:07] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ummm...he just disappeared.

[10:08] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Of course."

[10:08] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  *He looked at Ettore.*  "Scan the area."

[10:08] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris enters the shuttle and begins setting down the equipment.*

[10:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Salvation protocols... engages."

[10:08] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "If security does not find anything I want Li to report to sick bay for an evaluation."

[10:09] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain...I recommend we break orbit and depart the system for now. This crew is not ready for this at
this time

[10:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Lowers her fist*

[10:09] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Understood."

[10:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She started stomping round engineering with her tricorder.*  "Nothing here..."

[10:09] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm break orbit."

[10:10] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  =/\= "Ensign Teir to Commander Valkriss.  We've arrived in Engineering, we've picked
up no signs of anyone but Lieutenant Zorin."

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Let's put some distance between us and the planet until we sort this out."

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

[10:10] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Makes the propper handgesture for acknowledged for thsoe behidn her to see and then imediately breaks
orbit and aligns the ship away from the plaent back the way they came*

[10:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Understood....the captain has ordered Mister Li report then to sickbay after he was his relief in
place. See that he goes

[10:11] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Pilgrim pulled away from the planet's orbit to get the heck outta dodge.*

[10:11] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Gayle since this has not been done to all on the away team....notifiy any still preparing for the
mission has been scrubbed

[10:12] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She walked back in, blinking at Teir and Ettore before looking at Li.*  "What's
going on?"

[10:12] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li's face looks a bit pale as he tries to control his breathing.*

[10:13] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  =/\= "Acknoeldged Commander, I'll see to it."  *He looked at Li.*  "You've been
ordered to report to sickbay immediately.  Dower, can you cover for him?"

[10:13] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Y-yes, of course, what's wrong Li?"

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Bridge to away teams... mission aborted.  Please return to your duty stations."

[10:14] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris breathes a sigh of relief and gets up, heading back to engineering without
hesitation.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to sickbay.=/\=

[10:14] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: The Pilgrim exited the system, lining up for a shot back to the Citadel.

[10:14] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= Delancey here, go ahead bridge.

[10:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li just nods, quietly walking out of engineering.*

[10:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\Lieutenant Zoring Li is headed to you. He has experienced a vision of Ensign Laige, one of the
crewmen who perished on the planet. please evaluate him for any possible medical related cause.=/\=

[10:16] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li quietly walks past Serris, heading into the turbolift.*

[10:16] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris, just relieved to not be on an away mission with Jagoda, doesn't even register who's
walking by. He has tunnel vision to the max.*

[10:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Also monotor the rest of the crew for any other similar events.=/\=

[10:17] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris dramatically slumps against his workstation in a heap, breathing a sigh of relief.*

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Ma'am?"

[10:17] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks around for T'Vin stalking him out, just in case

[10:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes Lieutenant Gayle."

[10:17] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Deck 3.

[10:17] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Doctor..please also assure those with Telepathic and empathic abiltiies the Salvation Protoculs are
in effect..and be prepared to accomodate them as best as possible

[10:18] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= Understood Bridge.

[10:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Considering that people might be, uh, hallucinating them... should we still have the
memorial service?"

[10:18] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= we will only have it in place as long necessary

[10:18] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Oh, thank Zhin..."

[10:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She looked at Serris curiously.*

[10:19] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It might be a one-off incident..."

[10:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Until we sort this out we will have to postpone the service. But, as of now it is not cancelled."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The inicident in engineering is only one of the factors I recommended we withdraw

[10:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm put us on a course back to the Citadel."

[10:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor frowns.* =^= "T'Ghor to Ensign Otsuka?"

[10:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Makes a hand signal for Ready to T'Pang*

[10:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Engage helm."

[10:20] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The turbolift swooshed Li off.*

[10:20] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li leans back against the turbolift wall.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Repeats the signal for Acknowledged and launcehs the ship awayin to warp towards the citadel*

[10:21] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Jeez, did you have to call them on me?"

[10:21] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *The still-shaky Serris walks over and just hugs the hell out of Kol.*

[10:21] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Kol was not in Engineering.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Helm ETA until we reach the Artesia star system?

[10:21] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris blinked as he found nothing but air where Kol was usually working.*

[10:21] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Where's Zandris?"

[10:21] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey begins setting up internal sensors in the sickbay to monitor for known telepathic signals,
and writes a protocol for biobeds and tricorders to monitor health of patients with telepathy.*

[10:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Went to work on the hull plating, why?"

[10:22] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... At red alert?"

[10:22] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris seems very thoroughly confused by that.*

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor growls a bit.* =^= "Ensign Otsuka?"

[10:23] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What the hell are you doing here?

[10:23] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "So was I, but he didn't give me time to argue."

[10:23] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *places a small countdown overlay on the upper right corner of the viewscreen showing the emptyness of
space. The countdown saying 'ETA 14H 25M 31S' *

[10:23] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Did something happen here while I was gone?" *He noticed that Li was missing.*

[10:24] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Look, I'm just trying to help you out, here.  I've learned something wonderful, and
you were one of my good friends on board.  I need to share it with you."

[10:24] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain I recommend we stand down from red alert...and remain at Yellow but keep all high security
areas under full locdown

[10:24] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Eyana pes ta ey, Koss'moran!

[10:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Li, uh... it's a long story, I'll let him tell it."

[10:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I cannot get a hold of the person most likely to have T'Vin used against them."

[10:25] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Mind if I go check on our other mysteriously missing engineer?"

[10:25] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I cannot know if it was an isolated incident."

[10:25] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  =/\= "...Ensign Otsuka here," *she said finally, sniffling.*

[10:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Make it so Commander."

[10:25] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Hey, pesto ya yourself.  Are you going to listen to me or not?"

[10:25] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor's face visibly sinks a bit.* =^= "Let's take this to text, Ensign. Please look at your
PADD." *He says very gently.*

[10:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at T'ghor-- "...used against them?"

[10:26] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to Rhys- Also Mister Rhys have your teams located Ensign Otsuka and escort her to sickbay

[10:26] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No need, Commander."

[10:26] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "She answered."

[10:26] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "You're not my department... and you outrank me."

[10:26] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Do as I ordered Mister Rhys....best she be checked out

[10:26] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -shakes her head not looking at T'Ghor-

[10:26] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Professional courtesy, Jill. I'm working down here and you're the most senior officer on
duty." *He shrugged.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Aye, ma'am."  *He pushed the button to send Teir and Ettore running again.*

[10:26] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "For engineering, that is."

[10:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Fine..."

[10:27] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor shows no reaction, but a barely noticable crease in his brow shows his worry for the
poor ensign being dragged out of her room.*

[10:27] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What do you want?

[10:27] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He walks over to his console and activates a location trace on Kol's combadge.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...I believe she has seen something as well."

[10:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: ...really

[10:28] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *facepalms*

[10:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, I didn't know for sure before I talked to her a bit."

[10:28] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -said dryly- Who could have guessed

[10:28] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "You have to understand... life... death... it's... not even close to the end.  It's
the prologue.  Once your consciousness is freed from your mortal coil, the crysallis is shucked off...

[10:29] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: THAT is when you truly begin to exist."

[10:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Leave nothing to chance, I prefer to check things first."

[10:29] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Dubble facepalms*

[10:29] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey finishes her programing and looks a the chronometer.*

[10:29] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Where are you, Big 'n' Tall?" *He mutters to himself.*

[10:29] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Mister T'Ghor...you are relieved...

[10:29] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =/\= Sickbay to Engineering.

[10:29] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The lift doors opened and Laige vanished.*

[10:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods, standing up stiffly.*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and T'ghor?

[10:30] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Commander?"

[10:30] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  =/\= "Engineering here."

[10:30] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I already know...I have faced death and have been given the offer to enter the Celestial Temple.

[10:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  =/\= "Engineering here."

[10:30] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li strides out of the turbolift.*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Head to sickbay for medical evaluation...you were on that away team as well

[10:30] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I also want you to see a counselor...that is all

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

[10:30] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =/\= Have you sent Lt Li to sickbay yet?"

[10:31] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =/\= Nevermind, he just walked in.

[10:31] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks into sickbay.*

[10:31] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Sickbay." *He sounds like he's threatening the turbolift.

[10:32] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Lt, Li.. I'd like you to lay down on a biobed.. I'd like to run a few scans."

[10:32] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yes ma'am.

[10:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --remains quiet as she hopes Admiral Compton is not at the Citadel when she gets back.--

[10:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Kol was shown walking back to engineering.*

[10:33] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris shuts off the trace and opts to wait.*

[10:33] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The turbolift doors slid shut and it began to chug along.  There was a soft voice behind
T'Ghor.*

[10:33] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "Fascinating..."

[10:33] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey maintains the sickbay sensors program to scan for external signal, but uses the biobed to
run a more thorough scan on Zorin Li.*

[10:34] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor closes his eyes, sighing.* "I expected you."

[10:34] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I am certain this is something you hear a lot lately.. but how are you feeling?"

[10:34] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Like I've been speaking to a ghost?

[10:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "It's only logical that I would appear to you as well."

[10:35] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain....you understand if this pattern continues -looking to her now-

[10:35] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes... but it's also illogical that you are here. With the salvation protocols in place, and
us making our way out of the star system."

[10:35] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Interesting.  What have you two been saying to each other?"

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Valkriss--

[10:35] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...Did you have to appear to Rei first? Has she not suffered enough?"

[10:36] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Everyone on that away team...is showing signs of the same ... incidents

[10:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "Then clearly, my presence here must have a cause beyond that which you assume."
*She raised a brow then.*  "I did not make her suffer."

[10:36] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "She didn't sound too happy when I talked to her, you know..."

[10:36] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The Ensign is...aware of his death. *Li takes a deep breath, speaking as if he was delivering a
maintenance report.* Our last encounter, he attempted to explain to me that he had achieved life beyond

[10:36] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: physical consciousness.

[10:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "it does seem to be occuring among thos who were aquainted with the ensigns. But, we have to assume
it could spread more generally."

[10:37] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He leans his back on the turbolift wall, looking at the vulcan ghost in the eyes.*

[10:37] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mhmm.. did you find the visit to be.. reassuring, or disturbing?"

[10:37] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "It is often difficult to accept what must be done."  *She stared back into his eyes.
There was no light in her own.*

[10:37] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Indeed....but those present seem to be the primary victims at present

[10:38] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "What -must- be done?" *He raises an eyebrow.*

[10:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He strolled into engineering.*

[10:38] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey attaches a neural monitor to his head, all the while recording everything.*

[10:38] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Disturbing.

[10:38] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Hey, how's the hull?"

[10:38] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: What I am saying is, it might be wise...if you were evaluated as well.

[10:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "It is my hope that our medical officer can learn something that may help us defend agains
this...whatever it is."

[10:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "Indeed.  As a living being, I could not comprehend of the... beauty I would
experience."

[10:39] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Did you have any dreams.. while sleeping these last couple of nights?"

[10:39] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I concur Ma'am....my concern remains regardng you as well

[10:39] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "If i experience any symptoms I will report to sickbay for evaluation. Until this I see no reason
to leave my post."

[10:39] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Ummm...no.

[10:39] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor rolls his eyes.* "Let me guess, you're here to make us kill ourselves? Maybe make me
to rush onto the bridge and initiate self-destruct protocols?"

[10:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Coming along still.  You okay?"

[10:40] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey nods and checks the neurochemcials that are produced during rem.*

[10:40] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -eyes her a moment and nods- Aye captain.

[10:40] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "No.  You still have a purpose even now, in your weak shells."

[10:40] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh? And what might that be?"

[10:41] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I got spared from an away mission with someone I killed. I still don't like that I was put
in that position in the first place."

[10:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "To help being about... perfect order."

[10:41] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That... "Perfect order" is an empty void. The Black Ocean. No colour, no life, nothing.
T'Vin, the T'Vin I knew, would never accept that."

[10:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  *She smiled sweetly at T'Ghor.*  "If that is your choice... there is still an
alternate purpose for you yet."

[10:43] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh?"

[10:43] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Making sure to note the precise levels of the neurochemicals in his system, she prepares an
injection to introduce a mild dose of synthesized serotonin.  Then she watches for any reaction.*

[10:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  *She drew uncomfortably close, leaning in to his ear to whisper.*

[10:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The turbolift doors opened and T'Vin vanished.*

[10:44] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor bared his teeth, launching his hands to try and strangle T'Vin, yet she disappeared.*

[10:44] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "When you left sickbay after the incident.. did you find any restful activity or sleep?

[10:44] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *looks at the countdown and then at her console, bringing up something to keep her entertained while she
guards the autopilot*

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Ma'am?"

[10:45] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li takes a deep breath, relaxing some.* Yes.

[10:45] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: =looks down at a text on her PADD-

[10:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --realizes there is nothing to do out here, she glances toward her ready room. she realizes she
does not want to be alone in there right now.--

[10:45] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You should tell whoever tried to wrangle you into it then."

[10:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain...T'Ghor has had an encounter....he has reason to suspect these are not our shipmates...but the
Thing from the crystal

[10:46] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Do you feel any sense or dread, or danger? or do you feel as though you can relax here in sickbay?
*she pats him on the shoulder, keeping her voice soft* I know doctors can be scary."

[10:46] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: ....and has a taste for biological flesh

[10:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She looked horrified.*

[10:46] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor approaches Delaney directly, looking to her as if to say what he has to say is
absolutely urgent.*

[10:46] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Did the creature attack T'Ghor?"

[10:46] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *nods to T'Ghor as he comes in to acknowledge him*

[10:46] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris did a double take as he tried to analyze the tone of that response.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: No...it spoke of the true order

[10:47] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "He is in perfect mental health, and most probably not under any telepathic attack. But we
need to speak about it in private."

[10:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Who even makes thie bloody shit up!?" *Rememers she was ordered to shut up and acts as that did not
happend*

[10:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *It seemed like a genuine suggestion.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and told him our purpose is food..that our flesh is delectable

[10:47] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...And maybe not perfect mental health. But it was not a hallucination."

[10:47] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, yeah. I mean, it's the whole reason why I'm working down here instead of in the
science lab or on the bridge."

[10:48] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks to his PADD for a moment, typing omething out quickly.*

[10:48] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Alright.. do you mind going into my office there? I'll be over in a moment."

[10:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Which confirms what we had already suspected about the nature of the creature

[10:48] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "is see, I have not heard of previous reports of agents of the Dark consuming flesh...have you?"

[10:48] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I can relax righ now, yeah.

[10:48] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes. Thank you, Doctor."

[10:48] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He sighed.* "Maybe he didn't mean to do it, it's been kind of hectic."

[10:48] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I have seen numerous reports of body modification to be used as tools....and one...that occured on HC-
19

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We also haven't heard of them being stuck in giant crystals and turning into murder
gas."

[10:49] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor leans his back onto the wall, heaving back a heavy sigh, as he rubbed his temples.*
"I'm sorry, T'Vin..."

[10:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: the colonists there were cocooned and used a food source....both mentally and physically

[10:49] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Alright then Lt, just close your eyes and see if you can't sleep a bit.  I'll be right over there if
you need."

[10:49] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "My point is it could be an attempt at intimindation."

[10:49] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: a gaseous entity that covered the entire world in time

[10:49] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li closes his eyes.*

[10:50] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "If he doesn't know, you should let him so it doesn't happen again."

[10:50] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Now then, what id you need to tell me?"

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Now it sounds a little more familiar."

[10:50] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I had an encounter as well. I have to tell you, the being he and I encountered is very real.
However, it is not Laige or T'Vin."

[10:50] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The Sentinel and Adagio reported at the time that creature also used intimidation to ...heighten its
targets fear ...for consumption

[10:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "That sounds quite similar to what we are dealing with here."

[10:51] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I do not suspect that it is. Was this the first experience you have had with this type of
encounter?"

[10:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "anything in those reports that indicate how they dealt with that encounter?"

[10:52] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yeah, you're right."

[10:52] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "I am... mostly unaffected. I believe it's the being from the planet, having
made her way above our ship, and trying to get us to do its bidding... and intimidate us, should we reject >

[10:52] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Their cause. You are new to the ship, are you new to the LMC as well? Do you know of the Dark
and her goals yet?"

[10:52] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Listen, I know I'm even more of a rambling mess than I was before, so I just want to let you
know how much I appreciate you right now."

[10:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he smiled at Serris.*  "You don't have to.  I can feel it, remember?"

[10:53] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "No, I do not, but I did watch what happened.  I supect that the trauma of being involved may have
opened you up to something, or you may have brought something back with you.  Will you allow deeper

[10:53] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: scans?"

[10:53] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The Adagio destroyed it....mentally...the report was a tad vague prior to the mission being clasified

[10:54] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yeah, but saying it out loud to affirm it never hurts."

[10:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sighs--

[10:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he chuckled and leaned over to kiss Serris on the forehead.*

[10:54] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I will allow. However, I do believe it will be a waste of time."

[10:54] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor also quickly scans sickbay with his eyes, just to make sure Teir and Ettore dragged
Otsuka there.*

[10:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I will inquire with command, they may be able to provide me with some details."

[10:55] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Otsuka was being looked at by Ensign Rigby.*

[10:55] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain Talia's report only indicated that the creatures....plural...destruction

[10:55] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Perhaps, or perhaps it is a way to determine how you are being effected."

[10:55] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor sighs in relief, making a mental note to talk to her later.*

[10:55] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "Alright. Although I do believe that I am not being... "Affected", so to speak,
and the being is on board."

[10:55] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I am willing to listen to your theories, certainly, but I have to go where the evidence takes me.*

[10:55] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[10:55] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Of coure."

[10:56] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Droopy ears slowly perked up thanks to proximity to the Betazoid.* "I've been thinking about
how we should get back into things."

[10:56] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor gave Otsuka's hand a small, supportive squeeze, as he followed the doctor back into
the main part of sickbay.*

[10:56] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Rigby.. lets get them set up on the biobeds, I've programed a new protocol to monitor them for
telepathic interference."

[10:56] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain....there was another such creature also indicated as a possible similar entity

[10:57] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Of course, Doctor."  *She smiled and helped Otsuka lay back.*

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "There's always another creature..."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The Tycho Cloud Creature...the one that attacked the USS Farragut and Enterprise in the mid 23rd
century

[10:57] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It occurred to me that we haven't really had a romantic date night out since we decided to
make it official by the fire in that snowed in cabin."

[10:57] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --glances up at Valkriss-- "Really?"

[10:57] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: That enitity was believed to be able to slip in and out of planes of exsistance

[10:58] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Are you asking me on a date?"

[10:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to her- ...it was confirmd sentient according to the logs from the time

[10:58] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: it fed off of white blood cells in carbon based life forms

[10:58] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Yeah, I guess." *He shrugs sheepishly.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Why does everything want to eat us?"

[10:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: That took quite a bit of Anti-matter to destroy

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "interesting."

[10:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -to Gayle- CIrcle of life thing?

[10:59] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -shrugs-

[10:59] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Lt, you seem in control of yourself, do you mind? *gesturing to the biobed*

[11:00] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor waits for the good doctor's orders, before his tired, baggy eyes blink, remembering
something.* "I have to ask you for something else afterwards too."

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Achieving sentience should take you out of the food chain..."

[11:00] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Unless it is personal or secure information, you can ask while I scan you.. alright?"

[11:00] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He then nods.* "Of course. You would have a harder time dragging me onto a bed." *He gave the
Doctor a tired smile, clearly trying to lighten the mood the tiniest bit.*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh? then how would such a being survive to eat as it evolved into a technological society?

[11:01] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It is a bit personal." *He says, lying down.*

[11:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Oh yes..I quite agree

[11:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Unless the hunter doesnt see you are its equal in sentience

[11:01] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey sets the biobed to perform similar scan to with Lt Li, and sets about correlating the
data.*

[11:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She shivered.*

[11:01] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I think though here its not about the food...that is just a benefit

[11:02] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "or it has no choice and its own survival needs outweigh any moral considerations."

[11:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: It is already layng down the party line of the Dark captain

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "You think it's more about... demoralising people?  Making them think they're nothing
but sustinence for them?"

[11:02] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor sighs, turning his head to look at Otsuka, obviously worried.*

[11:02] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Then you may ask when we are in private, I do not mind.. if you don't mind .. I haven't had a chance
to review your file yet.. your name.. seems to be influcenced by  Vulcan language.  Am I right?"

[11:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: I believe this one is a full believer

[11:02] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: full=true

[11:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Perhaps to lower their resistence to fight back

[11:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "It is pretty effective at freaking -me- out."

[11:03] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Not truly, Doctor. There are many similar names in Th'lingan. There is even a house, D'Ghor.
Although, I will admit, Surak has been a guiding influence of my life."

[11:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: and accept this 'Perfect Order' of theirs

[11:03] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -has to nod in agreement some to Gayle-

[11:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Once all this... weird shit's over with, you have yourself a date."  *He smiled at
Serris.*

[11:04] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Perhaps it is your demeanor then.. you just seem.. more controled than any klingon I've met.

[11:05] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Trust me Lt, that is a good thing in my mind."

[11:05] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Growing up in the federation, I found myself... a bit of an outsider as a child. Others
seemed... afraid of me, even if subconsciously. When I grew up a bit, I sought out a vulcan counselor to help >

[11:05] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Me with that, so she changed a lot for me."

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Bitch tries to eat me, I'll rip her jaw off."

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She sighed at Rhys.*

[11:06] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *checking the scans she calls out to Rigby* "Lets give them both a mild dose of serotonin,
sythetisized to simulate the natural release of two nights of restful sleep.  The computer should give you

[11:06] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: her dosage. "

[11:06] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Great, now I have time to actually think about what the hell we're going to do."

[11:06] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -eyes Rhys= While I understand the sentiment Mister...lets stay professional while on duty yes?

[11:07] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Of course, Doctor."

[11:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "...Right.  My bad."

[11:07] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey prepares a hypo of her own, adjusting for the size and race of the patient.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to him- But i do agree

[11:08] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Maybe... but the memorial should be soon, right?"

[11:08] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *snickers to herself and taps on her console*

[11:08] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor lays there, waiting for the Doctor to do her thing.*

[11:08] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I understand your need to be alert Lt, this is not a sedative, it is to correct a slight imballance
of neurochemicals, but it's normal for missing restful sleep."

[11:08] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Last I heard, yeah."

[11:09] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  *she adjusted the hypo for Otsuka and administered it to the young ensign.*

[11:09] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, I understood when you told the nurse. Thank you, Doctor. I have been having... issues,
with that."

[11:09] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "However, it gets too far out of state, and you will find it difficult to sleep without collapsing,
we can't have that now can we."

[11:09] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Administers the hypo, and then sets to monitor reaction.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Rhys glanced at his console and smirked slightly, typing something.*

[11:10] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "As if I need more reasons to have that bi... unpleasant cardassian on my back, all I need is
her seeing me collapse on the bridge."

[11:10] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "If it makes you two feel better, you may speak among yourselves.. I noticed you two have a good
relationship."

[11:11] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor waits for the drug to kick in himself. He looks to Otsuka, offering her a supportive,
if tired smile.* "It will be alright. I promise."

[11:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain?  The memorial is scheduled to start in five minutes... did we want to
postpone it?  We haven't received any new reports of contact."

[11:11] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Begins a medical log, indicating the patients, status, and treatments so far.  She makea a note to
herself silently in the log.*

[11:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glances at Valkriss.--

[11:11] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *She nodded, wiping her eyes some.*  "Yeah..."

[11:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "For safety reasons we may want to postpone it."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks at T'Pang- It might help bring some closure Captain

[11:13] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "What you need to know... even if I am sure you guessed it yourself. That is not T'Vin. Never
was, never will be. The real T'Vin would not approach you like that. She loves you. And that won't change.

[11:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: But it also is a nice stage to play on our grief

[11:13] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancy writes "My suspicion is that these officers may have picked up something of a telepathic
parasite.  As all parasites must consume a food source, in order to confirm I must localise it.*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The Dark has zero reach at the Citadel....

[11:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: maybe hold it there?

[11:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Let's at least postpone it until we return to the citiadel. I think this creature
would be lest likely to attack us on our own home turf."

[11:14] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods - I agree.

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye, understood."  *She made a note.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: The Dark has no power it seems at the Citadel...benefits of the presence of Artesia and the Avynei
facilities

[11:15] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Do you think I'll have time to replicate a new dress uniform? The cuffs on the legs are up
to my lower shin now, and even my skant seems like it's riding a bit high..."

[11:16] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey maintains a monitoring on all three patients.*

[11:16] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Probably, it'll probably be held off until we're off alert."

[11:16] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "It seems this conflict with this dark is heating up. I fear we are in no way prepared
for this."

[11:16] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Good."

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Heh, you should see some of the reports we're getting from the other ships in the
LMC.  Things are getting weird."

[11:17] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *deadpans the viewscreen*

[11:17] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor seems to be relaxing.*

[11:17] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *She nodded slowly, curling up on her side a bit as she closed her eyes.*

[11:18] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He sighs, clearly wishing he could do more for Otsuka, then closes his eyes for a short bit
as well.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "In any case, even if we're not doing the memorial, should I call up beta watch?  I
think you all look like you could use some sleep."

[11:19] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: Captain??

[11:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "yeah, would be advisable. I know I could use some rest."

[11:19] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Waving Rigby over, she says quietly* "Serotonin should naturally bring down the elevated
neurotransmitter levels.  If in 30-40 minutes we have not seen a marked reduction, we will look elsewhere."

[11:20] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Understood, ma'am... what could be causing it?"

[11:20] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've been dying to know something ever since that parallel universe melting pot fiasco."

[11:21] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I've been dying to forget it..."

[11:21] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Lack of sleep possibly.  There is a natural build up that happens when you are awake or in stressful
situations.  Exposure to telepathic stress as well."

[11:21] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Probably... I doubt they've been sleeping much since that horrible time on the
planet's surface."

[11:21] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "By now this should have come down on it's own.  It could be an indicator of a problem, or just
something they hae in common as they haven't slept well."

[11:22] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Beta watch, please assume your posts."

[11:23] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The you I ran into, in that universe, we were still together at the time. He seemed pretty
surprised that we'd split up, wondered if it had anything to do with Otsuka down in science. Why, what did -

[11:23] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - you see?"

[11:23] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor's eyes open at the sound of Gayle's voice, and he sighs.*

[11:23] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey loads a tricorder with preprogrammed scans to be recorded.* "Rigby, before you go off shit,
would you mind going to the bridge and requesting permission, scan the Captain for me?"

[11:23] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Hmm... I know there's a lot of telepathic shenanigans going on in the LMC, it
wouldn't surprise me if something was going on."

[11:24] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Oh, of course, ma'am!"

[11:24] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Let her know if she has questions, I'm here."

[11:25] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *silently drums her fingers on her console as she waits for Tamin*

[11:25] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Oh... that one.  Uh... mine wasn't all that different, really."

[11:25] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Beta watch began appearing.*

[11:25] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So, doctor... how long will I be strapped in here?"

[11:25] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tries to see whether or not Kol's deflecting through their connection.*

[11:26] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey resets the biobed monitors to silence the audible signals except in alerting of abnormal
readings.*

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  *She walked onto the bridge.*  "Captain?"

[11:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she stands up and looks at Rigby-- "Yes?"

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Doctor Delancey requested that I get a scan of you, with your permission, since you
were also on the away team."

[11:27] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Walking over to speak quietly* "No need to strap you in.. I would just like to monitor you to rule
out one issue.  Half an hour more at most.  If you are willing, I can put a portable monitor on you"

[11:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Do I need to report to sick bay?"

[11:27] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, seeing him... you... still revere me the way you used to, it made me realize what I
was missing. Even knowing I wasn't his Serris, he still tried to make me feel better."

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "No, not at all, I brought a tricorder!"  *She held it up.*

[11:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I know, we talked about that, remember?"

[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she heads to her ready room.-- "Very well follow me."

[11:28] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hm. I think that would be better. Since I want to talk to you in private. And maybe do
something else after."

[11:28] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm just morbidly curious about what you saw, really."

[11:28] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Rigby followed T'Pang into her ready room.*

[11:28] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: 'Alright.. give me a moment.'

[11:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Conduct your scan."

[11:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Can we talk about it some other time?"

[11:29] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  *She nodded rapidly and began scanning T'Pang top to bottom.*

[11:29] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... We're off shift now." *He paused.* "Is it really that bad?"

[11:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He sighed.*  "I'm trying to be nice here, Serris, let's not talk about it?"

[11:30] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Replicates a Neurocortical monitor, returns to T'Ghor and afficxes it behind his right ear.*

[11:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Hey, Lieutenant," *she nodded at Ilya.*

[11:30] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods to Delaney.* "Is this all?"

[11:30] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Alright then.. if you wish, we can speak in the office."

[11:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Hmmmmmm..."

[11:30] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He nods.* "Thank you."

[11:30] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she raises an eyebrow.--

[11:31] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Well, I know the cure to this."

[11:31] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She checks the monitor to makes sure it's uploading properly, and checks the other two as well form
the desk screens.*

[11:31] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Anything noteworthy on your scan?"

[11:31] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Once they are inside, T'Ghor sighs.* "The XO wants me to see a counselor. I don't know if we
even have any on the ship, so I hoped you could point me to one.

[11:31] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris loops his arm through Zandris's arm.* "If it makes you that uncomfortable, okay, we
don't have to talk about it now. But if it's something that's bothering you that much, just know that you -

[11:31] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "It is still Lefthenant. we are not uncivilized. We are heading to the Citadel. cruise speed. I added the
little nifty countdown for our ETA to the viewscreen. Remove it if you wish to feel like more>

[11:32] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - can trust me to be your sounding board if you need to vent about it, okay?"

[11:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -turns over the con to the beta watch officer-

[11:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: > then a glorified autopilot and have some social interactions. Been all kinds of goofy shait gone on
today so... well, be ready for one of those shifts again. aye?"

[11:32] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "You're showing increased levels of certain chemicals associated with telepathic
contact, as well as strangely high REM levels.  How have you been sleeping?"

[11:32] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -hands over her PADD- full status report and current status updates in full

[11:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "So... business as usual."

[11:33] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Actually, I don't know the crew enough to know that yet. "* She queues up her monitor to look for
the counseling staff*

[11:33] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I have been sleeping, but not waking up rested. given how stressful the last few weeks have been I
thought nothing of it."

[11:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Bang on. some of the crew seeing ghosts, that may or nr many not be some bloody plonkers seving the
dark."

[11:34] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "it is strange I have noted no telepathic contacts recently."

[11:34] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "If you need someone to introduce you to some, at least, we could always head
to the lounge together sometimes when everything is... less intense."

[11:34] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -turns and heads for the turbolift=

[11:34] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Not unlike the readings from the others.  It's odd that you haven't experienced what
they have, though."

[11:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "...Prophets..."

[11:34] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Here Lt, Helena Laine.. *she types* I'm sending a notice to her that you would be looking for a
consultation.  She is the head counseler, if she needs, she may refer you to another... "

[11:34] [DOIC1] Valkriss@Isis.: -enters and says- Sickbay

[11:35] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "it could be a residual effect from the incident on the surface."

[11:35] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: " However, if you need to speak to someone and noone eelse is available.., I do have some training. "

[11:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "It's really not, I just don't want to think about it."

[11:35] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I could have one of those 'no they are wormhole aliens' arguments with you but... Yea. Prophets! So have
fun"

[11:36] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "I do not believe I need it, but... XO's orders. I already angered enough for
one day by barking back and forth with her mate."

[11:36] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thank you, I will seek that Lieutenant out, unless there is something else."

[11:36] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If it's any consolation, I probably understand that more than anyone else on this ship right
now." *He walks out of engineering, arm linked with Kol's.*

[11:36] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Could be.  They also went down two times more than you did... T'Ghor a bunch of
times, I think.  Maybe they built something up?"

[11:36] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -knocks on the doorframe-

[11:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  *She shot Ilya a glare.*

[11:36] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Parli á diavola..."

[11:37] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *nods to Valdriss and looks to T'Ghor* No, but take it easy."

[11:37] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "That is possible. Report your findings to the doctor. If she wishes I report to sick bay for
further testing I will do so."

[11:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He sighed and just nodded.*

[11:37] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Oh.. wait.."

[11:37] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "When I was summoned for the away team, I assumed we were going to use the transporter
because the Terrans still use those obscenely overpowered 22nd century systems."

[11:37] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods to the Doc, nodding to Valkriss as well, but then turns back around when he is
told to wait.*

[11:37] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Actually.. there is something.. I just realised what you said earlier.  Are you practiced in
meditation?"

[11:37] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "I am."

[11:37] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks a little at this-

[11:38] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Of course.  If you experience any hallucinations, though, I strongly suggest coming
down to sickbay."

[11:38] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I got there, started to suit up, and the transporter chief looked at me like I had five
heads. Then it clicked, our transporters can't cut through that interference because we prioritized safety."

[11:38] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I would suggest taking the time to center yourself before going to sleep."

[11:38] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So I was SUPPOSED to be in the shuttle bay."

[11:38] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "understood."

[11:38] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I planned on it. Thank you, Doctor."

[11:38] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "I just have one thing for you befoe I go..."  *She dug in her pocket.*

[11:38] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Call me if you have any other episodes or issues."

[11:38] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *smirks for a moment, even when she tries to be nice she fails* "Cya around, break a leg and what not"

[11:39] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've... had more lapses like that than I'd care to admit."

[11:39] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Understood. Thank you, doctor." *He heads towards main sickbay.*

[11:39] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nodding to Val on his way out.*

[11:39] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: T'Ghir?

[11:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Still?"

[11:39] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Commander?"

[11:39] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *enters the turbolift* "Deck 3"

[11:39] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: You did as ordered?

[11:39] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Aha!"  *She produced a sour apple lollipop for T'Pang.*  "Don't worry, it's sugar
free."

[11:39] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I have an entire second life imprinted in my brain, Zandris. That's not something that just
goes away."

[11:39] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Now, how can I help you?"

[11:40] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: One moment Doctor

[11:40] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Yeah... I know."

[11:40] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I got my check-up, even have a portable monitor." *He points behind his ear.* "And the...
counselling. I have been refered to a counselor."

[11:40] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she raises an eyebrow.-- "What is the meaning of this gift doctor?"

[11:40] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "You get a sucker when you're a good patient, that's how it works."

[11:40] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Good -snarls some at him- I expect you to follow those instructions and not miss one watch....is this
understood?

[11:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I mean, when we were in that time crunch, and we needed to come up with a plan to minimize
the Kirtascans' destructive force, I was going back and forth with Li just like our counterparts do over -

[11:41] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Understood." *He seems unmoved by the snarl.*

[11:41] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - there. I felt this foreign but disturbingly familiar contempt swell up when I was arguing
back and forth with him."

[11:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol

[11:41] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that seems illogical. Why would I need to be bribed to submit peaceably to a necessary medical
scan?"

[11:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You been keeping up with your appointments with that new counselor?"

[11:42] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "...I don't make the rules, Captain."

[11:42] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- You are dismissed

[11:42] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I didn't even know we had one on board. I've been keeping up with the medication but I
haven't spoken to anyone."

[11:42] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "is this a new policy implemented by the chief medical officer?"

[11:42] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Understood. See you later, Commander."

[11:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Well, you should go see her sometime then."

[11:43] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "No.  It's a doctor thing."

[11:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Am I annoying you?"

[11:43] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -enters the officer however her tone is quieter and softer now- Doctor -nods to her-

[11:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "No?"

[11:43] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *walks to her and Valkriss quarters and slumps down in the couch with a sigh*

[11:43] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor goes looking for lieutenant Laine's office.*

[11:43] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I will not presume to question your medical skills." --she says taking the lollipop.--

[11:43] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Okay, good. That's one person out of 183."

[11:44] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  *She smiled.*  "Thank you captain.  Enjoy!"

[11:44] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  *She turned and strode out of the ready room.*

[11:44] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang went to her desk and placed the lollipop on the desk as she sat down.--

[11:44] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I came to inquire about the officers sent to you and their current status

[11:45] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Such a lovely young woman.  A shame you're probably going to get her killed, too."
*He was suddenly sitting in the chair across from T'Pang.*

[11:45] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she raised an eyebrow.-- "That is hardly a foregone conclusion."

[11:45] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Primarily, they are exhausted, days without recouperative sleep.  I am suspicous about elevated
neurortransmitters, but I am monitoring to see if treament helps that."

[11:46] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she seems entirely unphased by the appearance.--

[11:46] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Isn't it?  It's a wonder no one's thought to kick you out of that chair yet."

[11:46] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Such elevation....would increase personal stress levels? Weaken them perhaps? Make them more vunerable?

[11:46] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *As he looks for the counselor's office, he is muttering to himelf.* "Pah. Counselors. What's
next, she will make me a holosim with kittens, puppies, bunnies and rainbows... And smiley clouds too. >

[11:47] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Does she think she's my mom or something?"

[11:47] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Weaking resolve, mental accuity, and make them seem physically weaker, yes."

[11:47] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: ((weakening))

[11:47] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: and emotionally?

[11:48] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He leans on Zandris as the turbolift doors close.* "You know, I think I know where I want to
take you."

[11:48] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *Sighs and gets up, reaching for one of her swords on display and slashes in anger at... nothing in
particular, just practicing a violent attack*

[11:48] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I think you are mistaken, I am sure more than one person has thought to kick me out of this chair
already."

[11:48] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "That is part of resolve.. so yes.  They could be prone to outbursts, be on the edge of tears for no
reason.. you see similar issues with pregnant females."

[11:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Clearly they've not taken it far enough, however.  I wonder how many more will
have to die because of you.  You're practically doing the Dark's work for them."

[11:49] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- I see....are you able to...treat them...protect them from this at present?

[11:49] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "perhaps. Please state your intentions."

[11:49] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Where?"

[11:49] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "To sickbay."

[11:50] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Recouperative sleep is key to physical and mental health.  I prescribed syth serotonin to see if the
levels were natural.  I'll know soon if the levels start coming down, if that is what is causing

[11:50] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: it or if i need to start looking for another cause."

[11:50] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "They are simple, Captain.  There is no hope for you on your current path, surely
you see it.  And no reason to take it.  Why resign yourself to the chaos of the universe?  Where is the...

[11:50] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: logic in that?"

[11:50] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *His brows rose at that, that stupid grin appearing on his lips for the first time in a
while.*

[11:50] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "You were on the bridge with the Captain, did she seem normal to you?"

[11:51] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Settle down there, tiger. We're going to ask the Doctor some questions."

[11:51] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...Oh."

[11:51] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I believe she is experiencing ....the effects of a lack of sleep. i recommended she come see you

[11:51] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "The idea of a perfect order is at best theoretical and at worst a myth. It is something many
species have sought in vain."

[11:51] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Namely, what can be done to let a Betazoid live in high gravity environments."

[11:51] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: However she is being seen at present by one of your own. I am sure she could tell you more

[11:52] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Deck three." *He called out to the turbolift.*

[11:52] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I see no logic in the persuit of unobtainable goals."

[11:52] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I've never dealt with a captain who likes sick bay.. that's why I sent Rigby up to scan her.. *she
checks th computer.. finds the scan* Mhmm.. was there anyone else still on duty that wsa part of the

[11:52] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: away team?"

[11:52] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Mister Rhys and his security team

[11:52] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "A perfect order can be maintained, don't you see?  When we leave behind our mortal
coils, we are free to experience the universe in ways you cannot fathom.  It is mercy itself that I...

[11:53] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: am rid of mine now, and can share with you the joys of oblivion."

[11:53] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And once we finish that and get our shots up to date, we can worry about your return trip to
the triage beds, hm?"

[11:53] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Would you please them them given a short break so I can give them a scan?"

[11:53] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: ((have them))

[11:53] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Valkriss to Mister Rhys

[11:54] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  =/\= "Yes Commander?"

[11:54] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor, after waiting in front of the office for a while, after seeing  it locked, sighs,
heading back to sickbay.*

[11:54] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey checks the biobed readings of the patients currently still in sickbay.*

[11:54] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I see. there is no reason for me to believe you are in face who you claim to be."

[11:54] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Lieutenant...please report to sickbay...along with all members of the away team from the last
mission

[11:54] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sure..."

[11:54] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: *in fact

[11:54] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -snarls some shaking her head- I shouldve done this before now...

[11:55] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  =/\= "Uh, sure, I wasn't in the away mission though."

[11:55] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "This?"

[11:55] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor stops by Otsuka's bedside, seeming very protective of the sleeping ensign, as he
sighs, visibly hurting for her, before waiting in front of the office.*

[11:55] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= I want you here for them Mister Rhys..they respect you..the team is suffereing from a possible lack
of restful sleep

[11:55] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "The most logical outcome of oblivion would be total non-existence."

[11:55] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "May be.. Commander."

[11:56] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks- I said possible

[11:56] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  *He showed his teeth.*  "Do you know the expression... 'you are what you eat?'"

[11:56] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris beckons Kol down, as if to whisper something in his ear.*

[11:56] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I want them checked out none the less...i believe they are being targetted doctor

[11:56] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  =/\= "Very well, Commander..."

[11:56] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I have heard it, it is crude but at least partially accurate."

[11:57] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: =^= Thank you Kalen..Valkriss out

[11:57] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Then you, are not the only one with that suspicion.. trust me, I am looking into it.  Computer,
please CC in the commander on any anomolies picked up on the sickbay environmental sensors."

[11:58] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "The parts which have made... me..."  *He extended his taloned arms.*  "Have been
broken down... digested... absorbed.  I am a part of her."

[11:58] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks over the padd and the data as it appears-

[11:59] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm not sure if it will help, but I asked the computer to record that data, knowing that all of the
effected would be coming in and out of sickbay in a short time."

[11:59] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: You are going to be our front line of defense until we get back to the CItadel Doctor...I think this
thing is after them because they we pulled them out before it could take them all on the planet

[11:59] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Wanna know a secret~?" *His tone was playful.*

[11:59] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "What?"

[11:59] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "But, I would wager Quollir no longer exists as a living entity. What he was may exist as a memory
now, but nothing more."

[11:59] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He beckons him down again.*

[12:00] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he bent down*

[12:00] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -looks at the PADD- Computer...sweep the ship....for any irregular conditions similar to those here in
sickbay please

[12:00] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Untrue.  Now, I will exist forever."

[12:00] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Hmm.. you could have been a horror writer.. I am on it commander.  I am protective of my patients."

[12:00] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris whispered.*

[12:00] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "perhaps in some sense of the word exist."

[12:01] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks- Sorry if i come acrss dramatic doctor...I have seen and fought these things for too long i
suppose

[12:01] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Is that not preferable to not existing at all?"

[12:01] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Did you have some other business? if not I have an appointment in sick bay."

[12:01] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *gesturing to T'Ghor, she looks at Valkriss and says "Do you mind? he is back and I want to see what
is needed."

[12:01] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: I just do not want to lose anyone else to this thing if it can be helped

[12:01] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *His brows shot up.*

[12:01] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: No not at all

[12:01] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey waves in T'Ghor*

[12:02] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Ettore, Sekusta and Sar all walked into sickbay.  Rigby wasn't far behind.*

[12:02] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris smirked.*

[12:02] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -lingers a moment= Do you need me to step out doctor

[12:02] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "You are welcomed to sit with her, hold her hand if she would want that."

[12:03] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The counselor wasn't in her office." *He shrugs.* "So could I appoint something with you for
later?"

[12:03] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *nods to him* That would be fine.

[12:03] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And I know. But I don't want to disturb her sleep. She needs it. And so much more, but for
now, sleep is primary."

[12:03] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she stands up and adjusts her uniform.--

[12:04] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "No... only to tell you this.  Do not resist when she comes for you.  You will only
prolong the inevitable... even if your fear does make you so much more delicious."

[12:04] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "You both seem to be fine officers.  Know I will do my best to help, just let me know if anything
more strange happens.  And commander, "

[12:04] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "and when can we expect her to come for us?"

[12:04] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'll leave that sensor modification active, please have it shut down when you no longer feel it
necessary."

[12:04] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes?

[12:05] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I'll have to see that for myself to believe it..."

[12:05] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Of course...thank you doctor ...please keep me informed of any changes to your patients...

[12:05] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thank you, Doctor. I will be available whenever you call me."

[12:05] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: and hw i might be able to assist as well on their behalf

[12:05] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Oh, I couldn't tell you that.  There's so much of this galaxy she has not yet
tasted."

[12:06] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "She may get sidetracked..."

[12:06] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Get some sleep.  Contact me after, alright?"

[12:06] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Don't wory about the time, I don't sleep much."

[12:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she turns toward the door.-- "Then I think this discussion is over."

[12:06] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was no response.*

[12:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she heads out of the ready room.--

[12:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --without a word she heads for the lift.--

[12:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Beta watch was on the bridge.  They nod to T'Pang.*

[12:07] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Thank you both.. now, if you will not mind, I will check out these others here."

[12:07] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods-

[12:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Deck three please."

[12:07] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thank you, Doctor." *He sighs slightly.* "I will leave you to it."

[12:07] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "In due time." *He grinned as they exited the lift.*

[12:08] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --the lift closes and it whooshes off--

[12:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Woooosh.*

[12:08] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Deck two." *He sighs, as the turbolift whooshe him off.*

[12:08] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *as witht he others, Delancey asks them all to lay down for a full scan, for records, and assuming
same results, treats as she did the others, with one ecception,

[12:08] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -stays out of the sockbay's stff's way but checks in on Li and Rei, careful not to awaken either if
they are sleeping...hovering some almos maternally by each for a moment-

[12:08] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey draws blood from each of the security team.*

[12:09] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she wanders into sickbay and look about.--

[12:09] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She arrived in sickbay, looking around nervously before she saw Li on the biobed.*

[12:09] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Doctor, it seems I just had an encounter...with what ever this is."

[12:09] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *She was asleep, her eyes still red and puffy from crying.*

[12:09] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor order some blood sausage, and some syntohol, before going to sit down with a sigh.*

[12:09] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Approaches the captain to speak quietly* "I am sorry, I sent Rigby to you so as to not have you
called away from your duties."

[12:11] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, Rigby performed their scan and after they left me I was visited by someone appearing to be
Quoillr."

[12:11] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I believe it was an attempt at intmiidation."

[12:11] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm sorry, Quoillr?"

[12:12] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Would you like to have a seat, in my office?"

[12:12] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "One of the Kirtascans."

[12:13] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "So if I am understanding this correctly, every visage that has appeared, has been a peer to the
viewer, and someone that had been consumed by the entity?"

[12:13] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li opens his eyes, looking around.*

[12:13] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -adjusts Rei's blanket carefully and after a moment more moved onto check on Li-

[12:13] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "He was their archbiship, their spiritual leader."

[12:14] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Easy -to Li-

[12:14] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "As you are the leader of this ship... why I said Peer."

[12:14] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li groans.* I was...asleep?

[12:14] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes you are correct, so far everyone that has appeared was someone who was consumed by the
entity."

[12:14] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *Seeing Li, she crept over to his biobed.*

[12:14] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -eyes Jill a moment and looks to Li- Yes.for a bit...you are well?

[12:15] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Have your science team done a full scan on the encounter suits you used? for any contamination or
damage?"

[12:15] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "So far everyone who was vistied was aquainted with the person that the entity chose to show them."

[12:15] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I feel fine...a bit freaked out over talking to dead people.

[12:16] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She withered some under Valkriss' gaze, opting not to speak.*

[12:16] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Li....it may not be who you think it is

[12:16] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am uncertain. I assume that proper contmination protocols were followed. But, i can not be
certain."

[12:16] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *turns to a nurse, getting their attention she says* "Please take a blood sample, and let them go
back to their quarters to rest if they like.  Their numbers looked good."

[12:16] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: It is possible what you are seeing ...is that thing. But we are heading back to the Citadel as we speak

[12:17] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Mreshi]  "Yes, Doctor."  *She turned and went to do just that.*

[12:17] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* I figured as much. I attempted to cast it away in Bajoran, I don't think it listened.

[12:17] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: The Doctor is going to treat you and the others ...tryand keep you safe until we get there

[12:17] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *After a quick snack, T'Ghor returns to sickbay, to sit at Rei's bedside, watching over her
with an almot agressive protectiveness.*

[12:17] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Of course it hasnt...it is trying to play on your fears and doubts

[12:17] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Give it no strength...no power

[12:18] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yes ma'am.

[12:18] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Captain.. given some rest, you should feel better.  The prescription given should bring your
neurotransmitters back to normal levels.  I have to ask though.  Do you meditate or sleep or both?"

[12:18] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Rely on those closest to you

[12:19] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: =nods over to Jill- you are stronger together....it despises such

[12:19] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Both doctor. I meditate regularly, but still Vulcans require sleep."

[12:19] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She blushed lightly, looking down at her feet sheepishly.*

[12:19] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li reaches over to grasp Jill's hand.*

[12:19] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: You understand me yes?

[12:20] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She took his hand, lacing their fingers together.*

[12:20] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Tell that to some of the Vulcans at starfleet med... *she shakes her head* My experience shows that
your people's meditations are normally more effective at adjusting your neurochemicals than sleep."

[12:20] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I would suggest it, if you did not already plan for it."

[12:21] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Aye ma'am, I do.

[12:21] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As the nurses began taking blood samples and discharging patients,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN6YvkEPkwQ played over the credits as the episode turned over into a social...*

[12:21] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that is accurate doctor. But, even with intensive meditation eventually Vulcans will succume to
the need for sleep. But, we can go for exptended periods without it, with proper training."

[12:22] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods- Then I will leave you two....get your rest...will be back at the Citadel by tomorrow

[12:22] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -turns and heads out=

[12:22] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Y-yes ma'am..."  *She said softly.*

[12:22] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -stops and looks at Jill- Do not leave his side

[12:22] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "I won't..."

[12:23] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods to Val from his guard seat next to Otsuka's bed.*

[12:23] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "If there is anything I can offer, you know you have but to ask.  I'm glad for the opportunity to be
in space again."

[12:24] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "It seems your arrival was well timed. We seem to have need of your medical expertise."

[12:25] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -walks over to T'Ghor- Do not leave her side -looks down to Rei- together you are both stronger...do
allow either of you to give this cowardly thing any power..any strength

[12:25] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: it is...unworthy

[12:25] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She sat on the edge of Li's biobed and leaned in to offer him a gentle kiss.*

[12:25] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I'm glad to help, but i do not doubt Dr Vant's competancey.  Sadly, the majority of patients I've
seen, were either plague or trauma.  I've not a lot of experience with espers.  I'm reading up though

[12:25] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *She continued to sleep, curled up in a little ball.*

[12:26] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -lays a gentle maternal touch to the other girl's hair-

[12:26] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I will not. I do not want to intrude on her, but... she needs someone there." *He sighs,
looking at the small ball of an ensign, taking her hand in his.*

[12:26] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles up at her, slowly getting up to sit on the edge of the biobed.*

[12:26] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I don't doubt his expertise either, but we are better off with a full medical staff under the
circumstances."

[12:26] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: This thing doesnt get one more of us T'Ghor...-looks to him- We will stop it and make it pay

[12:27] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "As if I needed more reason. But for it to have the audacity to wear our dead's
faces... I wish to see it suffer."

[12:27] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "How are you feeling?"

[12:28] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks- and it will...in its defeat

[12:28] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Agreed,  Speaking of. I need to go over the emergency protocols, I found that someone had already
instituted some of my ideas, I want to see how close they match.  Holodecks are a medical team's best

[12:28] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Like I just took a nap.

[12:28] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: friend beyond a well trained staff and supplies."

[12:29] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He nods.* "I apologize for my earlier... behaviour on the bridge. While I may not approve of
helm's words or demeanour at all, that was not the time nor place for it."

[12:29] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: T'Ghor...the doctor has informed me ...your reactions are a symptom of this coward ..hunting you

[12:29] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Anything else I can help you with captain?"

[12:30] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "by all means draw up some plans. Whatever you deem necessary. Run them by Commander Valkriss and
Ops, to make sure there is no conflict with other departments or systems."

[12:30] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: it may be denying you a restful sleep...hence your out of control reactions

[12:30] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She smirked.*  "Well... you were just waking up when I got here, I think it's safe
to say you did."

[12:31] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I should be stronger than letting it get to my head. I tried meditation, I tried violence,
but..."

[12:31] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "there is nothing else I need at this time. I intend to retire to my cabin for a period of rest."

[12:31] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Not normally a needed function.  You will have it when we have less to worry about at the moment.
Rest well Captain."

[12:31] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: If it is deyng you these things....they would be ineffective. It hides and strikes from the shadows
T'Ghor

[12:31] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He looks to Otsuka again.* "Allowing T'Vin to perish... seeing Rei's reaction to it..." *He
growls lowly.*

[12:32] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "thank you doctor."

[12:32] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It made itself known now. It made its mistake."

[12:32] [DOIC4] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she turns and heads out like a boss..--

[12:32] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -puts a strong hand on his shoulder- Let it burn within for now T'Ghor...there will be a time and a
place for such

[12:32] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li chuckles, hugging Jill.*

[12:32] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes...and now you can be strong for her -nods to Rei-

[12:32] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She embraced Li in turn, kissing him gently.*

[12:33] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks past her to Dali with a slight smile.*

[12:33] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I will be. What's worst for that monster is, we are headed to the avynei. They will certainly
know something of it. And we will use that knowledge to hunt it down."

[12:33] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: and then....=smirks wolfishly- it is our turn

[12:34] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: We will avenge our shipmates

[12:35] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We will." *He frowns even deeper, visibly aching for a fight of any sorts. He sighs,
squeezing Rei's hand gently.* "But for now, the living shipmates come first."

[12:35] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: Indeed...get your rest as well ...i want you ready for this fight...understood?

[12:36] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *Eventually gets a bit bored and out of rage to fighitng the airmonster. she places the sword back in its
display stand and goes to remove her uniform, checking that it looks good for the comming day*

[12:36] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Lieutenant?"

[12:36] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Commander." *He then looks to Delaney.* "Yes, Doctor?"

[12:37] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *It looks good... well, as good as a pair of bloody wanker pyjamas could look.*

[12:37] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Your neurotransmitters are come back into proper alignment with normally seen readings.  However, if
it is not too uncomfortable for you, I'd like to continue monitoring yours.  I'll set up the

[12:37] [DOIC4] Valkriss@Isis.: -nods to the doctor and T'Ghor before looking to Rei a moment more and heading out-

[12:38] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She followed Li's gaze curiously.*

[12:38] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: computer to alert us if it seems to show out of balance too quickly."

[12:38] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Of course. Everything to prove I am ready to fight."

[12:39] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Just a day or two.. and parhaps when we return to the planet for readings."

[12:40] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -enters her quarters and slips off her honor sash, folding it and setting on the desk-

[12:40] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "Will do. It would be stupid of me to reject this."

[12:40] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Perhaps we are lucky, we can catch whatever is causing this in the act." *she winks*

[12:41] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *Neatly folds her uniform and places it on its very designated place for order and ease of dressing in
teh morning*

[12:41] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "For now though, you really should rest. Get some sleep."

[12:41] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles at Jill.*

[12:42] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor grins a bit, then nods.* "I will." *He gets up for a moment, to replicate himself a
small blanket. He sits back down, draping it over himself, and taking Rei's hand again, and staying like >

[12:42] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She held his hands firmly.*  "You're good to go, right?"

[12:42] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *That until eventually falling asleep.*

[12:42] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -slips off her tunc and drapes it over a chair before dropping down onto her couch and drops her head
back to stare at the ceiling-

[12:42] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks to Dali.* Doctor?

[12:43] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yes?

[12:43] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Shaite day as usual?"

[12:43] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *Her hand was engulfed completely by the much larger Klingon's, a gentle smile
touching her lips.*

[12:44] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "The nurse should have told you, you are good to go.. just let me know if anything else odd happens."

[12:44] [DOIC4] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Notices that before falling asleep, the reaction giving him some much needed comfort, helping
him drift off into sleep.*

[12:44] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Thank you doctor.

[12:44] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks- You were there....this thing is a coward

[12:44] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I wouldn't want you forgetting to notify me of any large green splotches or apendages falling off or
anything."

[12:45] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Don't worry... we'll definitely notify you if -that- happens."

[12:45] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grimaces.*

[12:45] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I don't think it give a damn about honour. or we are simply to low on its chain. like we do not go troug
the extras for valours comabt when swatting a bloody fly on the wall"

[12:46] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You'll probably be able to hear her scream from here...

[12:46] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Its weakening their resolve by denying them restful sleep.....making them ...a more delicous target

[12:46] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Smart"

[12:46] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: I agree but cowardly

[12:47] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She cringed at that.*

[12:47] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I can not even agree with that. Despiceble. from our view of thigns perhaps cowardly. but what do we
even know of it?"

[12:47] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Delancey makes sure everyone is discharged with orders to rest, then sets the computer to analysis
of blood samples while she and the nurses reset for the next patient.*

[12:48] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Thank you, Doctor..."  *She murmured as she lead Li out of sickbay.*

[12:48] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Of course, you might for other reasons...*He winks at Jill as he is led out of sickbay.*

[12:48] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Judging the bloody numpy dumpy gizmo as if it was like us, is to fail to accept it may be something jsut
bloody out of leauge of what we think of. Maybe its sense of honour is... heck if I know. >

[12:48] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: It is one of the Dark's servants...a true believer

[12:48] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > studying its victims for a minute first?"

[12:48] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *Her face lit up.*  "Li!"

[12:48] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "REST I said, not bed."

[12:48] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs heartily as they enter the hallway.*

[12:49] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Illya....the thing spoke of the true order.....consuming us only as its food....to end the chaos of
life

[12:49] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "While I do not eat junk food, I can see the apeal"

[12:49] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *laughs to herself, and sets about making sure Beta shift has nothing held over... she begins her
paperwork.

[12:49] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: ita a fantatic....out of balance of what is needed for the universe to continue...you tell me then

[12:49] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "... And I do love junkfood..."

[12:50] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Jill shot Li a little look as they headed back to their quarters.*

[12:50] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Why do you do this? -eyes her- the bloody thing is always filling the role of 'devil's advocate

[12:50] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Oh hell, might as well change, i'm not going to any planet now... "

[12:50] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: You know as well as I do...what this thing is

[12:50] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Do what?"

[12:51] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grins at her as they walk inside.* What?

[12:51] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Try to offer an alternative side of that this thing is

[12:51] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: This thing is intelligent....it knows damn well what it is doing...and it draws pleasure from it

[12:52] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "You're ridiculous sometimes, is all."  *She headed to the replicator to get their
customary orange soda and kava juice.*

[12:52] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I have no bloody clue what it really is. But I find it wrong to try to place it in categories of honour,
or curage or cowardice. It is disgusting. yet the agenda of order holds some merit, even if I>

[12:52] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > I don't agree with its bloody atrocious ways"

[12:52] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: ...God Illya

[12:53] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You know it. *Li takes a seat on the couch.*

[12:53] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: No one is arguing that order does not have it place...but it agenda is extreme and unbalances
things...that is not a debate

[12:53] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: its*

[12:54] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "It is hardly a stop the presses situation that I many days think the end of the multiverse would be
quite interesting"

[12:54] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She handed him his juice and sat down next to him.*  "So what happened?  I only
heard the last bit I guess?"

[12:55] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: ....including me? -looks at her-

[12:55] [DOIC5] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mess Hall"

[12:55] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I saw Orjen.

[12:55] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "You... what?"

[12:56] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "We will die one day. You are on the top ten list of people that should die last... and have a bloody
decent, worthy death, when such day comes"

[12:56] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles some- Do not try and butter me up...

[12:58] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah.

[12:58] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Not exactly trying. Do you like really old games and so? like bloody ancient games?"

[12:59] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Ive notived....what game?

[12:59] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "some earth game. a strange science fiction one. from before humans had developed spaceflight. bloody
stupid really, the things they thought about"

[12:59] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "I mean... Jeez.  You've been... it was a really crazy situation that he died in.
And you had to witness it in person.  It's not unheard of."

[1:01] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nocx.*

[1:01] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles= Yeah those silly humans...the ones i was raised among

[1:02] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: So what is the game?

[1:02] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She leaned in to kiss his cheek.*  "I'm sure the doctor's right, and you just need
another good night's sleep until we get to the Citadel."

[1:02] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "It is called mass effect. its story is typical human supremancy patriotism cliche of its era, it is the
enemy that facinates me"

[1:03] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: ...of course...what about them?

[1:04] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "They have a point. Once every 50 000 year they return to give the galaxy a clean slate... Their methods
questioneble. the reasons has some merits"

[1:04] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I think it's more than that but...only time will tell.

[1:04] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: ....no it doesnt

[1:04] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I think it does"

[1:04] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She kissed him again, a little closer to his mouth.*  "We'll figure it out...
whatever it is."

[1:05] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: The nature of such an action overrides any pseudo-philosphical debate on those merits

[1:06] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Its like say...well that though mass genocide is bad and all...at least the trains run on time...due to
fewer passengers

[1:06] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles, pulling her into a hug on the couch.* I'm sure we will.

[1:07] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "And afterwards, what comes after, the suciety that raises after our bloody disaster of a failure of
civilized galaxy. I wonder what it would be like. The optemist in me like to think they are >

[1:08] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > briliant, Deserving of the galaxy. A feeling of hope... But I am known to be an hopeless optimist at
times" *Grins*

[1:08] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She returned the hug, kissing his lips.*  "Ahkayah aka, ja'ital."

[1:09] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Nol, ja'ital.

[1:09] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -shakes her head and smirks- I dont think our legacy is one of failure doofus

[1:09] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Shall I add it to the long lsit of subjects we disagree on?"

[1:09] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -leans back into the couch and curls her long legs up beside of her -

[1:09] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: You would disgaree with me if i said water was wet

[1:10] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Depends on which state it is in" *Picks up a PADD*

[1:10] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Just to disagree m....see??

[1:10] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Ice while not melting is not wet"

[1:11] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -eyes a long moment before- do not mistak my silence for victory...I am merely mentally weighing the
options of either clubbing you senseles....or just firng you out of a torpedo tube into the sun

[1:12] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I shall write it down on the long list of 'Ilyas triumphs of intelligence over Valkriss stuborness'. As
for your kerfufle. Why not both?"

[1:13] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *Types on her PADD*

[1:13] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Kerfufle.....really? this coming from someone who picked on me for using the term doofus?

[1:14] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Predicament then, if you feel a bit posh and polished under the feets"

[1:15] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- No no Kerfufle works..its nice to see your silly side is evolving...I cant wait for the day
you make a My Little Pony reference

[1:15] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: You are really coming along nicely

[1:16] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I am chuffed some part of me is evolving in this dump. feels like a site of develution. I ralized I can
not even make small talk withotu ruffeling someones ginneys nowdays"

[1:18] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- that was needling up there...not small talk

[1:19] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I actually tried to be nice to her!"

[1:19] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: I....-blinks- her?

[1:19] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Her who?

[1:20] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Tamin, of course?"

[1:20] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Come sit...-he pats the couch-

[1:20] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Explain

[1:20] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -makes room for her slipping her arms about her-

[1:21] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *sits down next to val* "I tried to do idle chit chat with her, show I actualyl bloody care to some degree
about her little existance and that I do value her as part of the FC team... but I think I >

[1:21] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > insulted her"

[1:21] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: ...what did you say?

[1:22] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I told her that in normal cases, I would start an arguments about the prophets just being some aliens
lurkign in a wormhole, but today I also foudn the term "Prophets!" to be a bloody briliant >

[1:22] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > summar ystatement of affairs"

[1:23] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -smirks- Maybe it might be best...when making idle chit chat attempts to avoid the topics of religion
and politics?

[1:23] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Just as a suggestion

[1:24] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Hell if I know, Bajorans are all about politics, religion or pointing out how cardassians are assholes.
and they get angry at me even when I agree to that shait!"

[1:24] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Noooo Tamin is also just Tamin

[1:24] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Like I am hardly a typical Klingon

[1:25] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Of course she is. that does not change the bloody situation"

[1:25] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes it does....make Idle chit chat tailored to her as Tamin...not how you see Bajorans

[1:26] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: see that is the next step to avoid accidentally insulting someone

[1:26] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I chinwaged about how bloody miffed the day was and what she could expect"

[1:27] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: and then you called her Prophets wormhole dwelling aliens...well alluded to how you saw them

[1:27] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "But I agreed with her!"

[1:27] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: and insulted her all at the same time

[1:27] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "What more does she bloody want. Taking her to dinner and massaging her bloody toes?"

[1:27] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: which is atually....kinda impressive in its own way

[1:28] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: No...

[1:28] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: maybe find a middle ground there ...between the two extremes

[1:28] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "People... This dark becoems more convincing by the moment"

[1:29] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Illya....it just gonna take a little more effort -snuggles her grump some-

[1:29] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: You are almost there

[1:30] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I miss ark royal. There was no bloody bajorans not knowing what they want. the science department was as
large as T'Gors brain... no, we actually had a science department, but they where usefull and>

[1:31] [DOIC2] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *The Doctor stairs out the window in the mess hall, glass in hand, and a padd in the other.*

[1:31] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > see. we had purpose, I had purpose, there was order, value, hope. Not... this"

[1:32] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: We have been over this...I know you miss your ship and old way of life. But the wars back home are all
but over....and it is time for us to be explprers again

[1:33] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: This is our purpose and its not that different from the mission of the Ark Royal

[1:33] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: any more than the Hannover's was

[1:33] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Have you been sleeping under a bloody rock inside a caven with two bongo drumming natives nammed Tony and
Drude?"

[1:34] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles and snuggles her some in her arms- No...I am just saying that i understand

[1:34] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: This is a science vessel and an explorer hon...this is our purpose

[1:35] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "We have some mingers of bugs tryign to invade bajor. the delta quadrant lays open. there is far from the
tiem of exploration. And I would never let soemthign as despiceble and cowardly as this be my>

[1:36] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > purpose. it is a waste of time. and we do not even seem to have a purpose when we bloody damn try to"

[1:36] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: We are saving people...and making their lives better you goof

[1:36] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *leans in on Val. compared to her normal rants that usualyl are somewhat withotu emotion, this actually
bothers her and its not event atempted to be hidden*

[1:36] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: The Sentinel just saved a cargo ship full of refugess....and another race we helped is going to take
them in

[1:37] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: as they dd with the Ulna

[1:37] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: We are making a difference out here

[1:37] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Indeed. The -Snetinel- Did. The -Adagio- is out there fighting a battle. "

[1:37] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes...in the Black Ocean..I think....they found away through that storm

[1:37] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "What do we do? indulge in the most pathetic persute and bloody waste of times, at best leting out yet -
another- ancient evil to the mix"

[1:38] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I do not even know why I bloody get out of bed in the morning"

[1:38] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Well in out defense...we couldnt have stopped that

[1:38] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Illya...

[1:39] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: we are making a difference..that is why you get out of bed in the morning

[1:40] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "No. If anythign we make it bloody damn worse. the question is if I make ensign before the year is over"

[1:40] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Well lets try to avoid that eh?

[1:40] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Tell me how...wait we as in this ship?

[1:41] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Can't say I even care if I do that anymore. I don't even know why I am still in starfleet"

[1:42] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -softly- What is it you seek then hon? what is the purpose you truly want?

[1:42] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Hell if I know anymore. At times I feel I am still here because it is all that I know. and I know I do
fit in even worse in the civilian world"

[1:43] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Do you wish another ship then? to return to a battle cruiser?

[1:45] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "I don't know anymroe Val. Feels like this bloody assignment has rined whatever prospects I ever had in
starfleet anyways so" *shrugs*

[1:46] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -frowns- Why would it ruin such? You are damn good at what you do

[1:46] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Don't play cute"

[1:46] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: You are a good officer Illya...not a personable one...but a fine and effince one

[1:46] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: I am not playng cute I am being honest

[1:47] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: " A bloody good officer do not spend every bloody day of duty bursting to just cross the line that she
knows will have her busted to ensign and sent to the brig"

[1:48] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Maybe a bloody quick qurier service ship... no passengers, only cargo"

[1:48] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Why are you sabotaging yourself?

[1:49] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: You are better than this

[1:50] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Whatever self inflicted cogging I do is as intentional as my insults to Tamin"

[1:50] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: But you know you are not happy

[1:50] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "No shit Sherloc?"

[1:51] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Dont take this out on me -cuddles a little more- I am trying to help

[1:52] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "you cant. that easy really. euhmm... I appriciate you wanting to and all"

[1:53] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Illya...you know I accept you as you...but you know me as well. I ...detest seeing you this unhappy

[1:54] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: This goes beyond your usual snark

[1:55] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Yea... well that is because it is. every single bloody day it gets harder to get up from my bed, it gets
harder to look myself in the bloody mirror with my uniform. it gets harder to not burst open >

[1:56] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > like a bloody pandoras box warts and all on the bridge and end it. It gets harder tryign to justify all
that has hapened for me to be here, knowing bloody well it's terminal."

[1:57] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: So we go then.

[1:59] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "It's to late for that. I think what I go up for in the morning, is to find a worthy death to make this
entire ride worth it. something unlikely to find on this thing" *sighs, seeming to be outof air*

[2:00] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Illya....i dont want you to die..-hugs her tigher-

[2:01] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -her voice grows tight as the knot in her stomach on this topic-

[2:01] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "We all gonna die Val. I do not want to see you die either. but I bloody well rather see you die
gloriously in a way you'd be proud of to go out then in some... measly bed or in a silly accident"

[2:02] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes but before that...there are other things I want to experience....things i want to share with you and
not make a bloody plan for my death

[2:03] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: or even long for it..because i am not serving on a ship that is primairly one that sees battle

[2:03] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *Closes her eyes, finding some peace in being held tighter* "I do not plan for my death, but it, and
perhaps talkign to you and Rhys, an the ocationa lchinwag with gayle. is why I get up on this >

[2:04] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: > pathetic thing. And I rather live a short but purposeful worthy life, then a long and meaningless one"

[2:04] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "The optimal being a long meaninful one... but cant get bloody everything in life now can one?"

[2:06] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Soooo that is where i want to help you...find a chance at a long meaningful life silly

[2:07] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Yea... Illkriss curier servies. Quickets service in teh milkyway. No passengers, ever... sounds liek a good slogan?"

[2:08] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and nods- Works for me....lets run with it then

[2:08] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Where will we get the credits for a that fast ship?"

[2:09] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -chuckles- Well I do still have some family who might well pay to keep me away from Klingon space

[2:09] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Maybe with a really fancy cloak... those new bird of pray seems briliant... Get Aria in on it to trim the engines a little"

[2:10] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Yes sounds goof and...yes Aria gets to come too

[2:11] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Yea... but put a bloody chatity belt on her. her preference in men is insulting to her intelect"

[2:11] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Well....one strike is not an out Illya

[2:11] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Two"

[2:11] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Two?

[2:12] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -frowns- Who is number two?

[2:12] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *cuddles idly against Valkriss* "One thought she would learn"

[2:12] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -gently strokes her hair a she snuggles her- Who is number two?

[2:12] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "The dish mill has it she spent a lot of time wiht T'Ghor for a while, then stopped... thanks heavens"

[2:13] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: ....

[2:13] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Chastity belt, aye?"

[2:13] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Okies...two strikes is still not an out

[2:14] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: she gets one more strike

[2:14] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Both Li and chief plonker counts as two strikes each"

[2:14] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Now now

[2:14] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: we need to be fair

[2:14] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Fine, Li counts as three"

[2:15] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -laughs- No....i may feel as that...often...a lot of the time....but its just one

[2:15] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "One and a half?"

[2:15] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: ...-smirkes- fine...one and half

[2:16] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Briliant, so PGM and chief plonker together makes up three, so bobs your ungle, she is out... and in the chastity belt!"

[2:16] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: *uncle

[2:16] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Noooo that is two and half

[2:17] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Chief plonker is also one and a half"

[2:17] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: No

[2:17] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: she didnt marry him

[2:17] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: so its not the same level of a mistake

[2:17] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Fine... the tiniest error and she is in chastity"

[2:18] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Deal....but she is a master mechanic....so she can earn credits back by good work

[2:18] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Sure. and by submitting partners for peer review"

[2:19] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: to be interviewed and rated of course

[2:19] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "And be informed of the terminal illness breaking her heart is"

[2:20] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "And signing the consent papers"

[2:20] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: -smiles and nods- Oh yes that is a given

[2:20] [DOIC6] Valkriss@Isis.: Naturally she is gonna see the logic in such a thing....its for her own good yes?

[2:20] [DOIC6] Ilya@Illuice: "Bang on"
