Pilgrim 5/1

[9:03] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The theme song for FLIGHT AMONGST THE STARS:  A PILGRIM STORY begins to play, over heavily edited shots of the crew from previous seasons and episodes. **

[9:05] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Male Voiceover]: "In every generation... there are heroes.  The brave men, women, and otherwise
gendered individuals aboard the Pilgrim have shown us time and again that they... are heroes."

[9:06] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Male] "Tonight... we join our heroes once again to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in
their story.  I am Elem Ghonor.  This is Flight Amongst the Stars: A Pilgrim Story."

[9:07] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The camera opened on a Cardassian man with a crisp white suit and a charming smile.  He stood
in the Pilgrim's mess hall, the room around him decorated with streamers and banners celebrating the...

[9:08] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: new season.  Behind him, the bar and several tables were stocked with a variety of drinks and
delicacies from across the Federation, and several ensigns were waving at the camera. **

[9:09] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor] "Tonight promises to be a night to remember here on the Pilgrim, so stay tuned!"

[9:09] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** Go! **

[9:09] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor is in his new quarters, struggling greatly... what moron of a human even thought ties
were a good idea. How was he even supposed to tie that? He eventually hit his commbadge in defeat =^= >

[9:10] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "T'Ghor to Commander Aria? This is slightly embarrassing... but could you come by my
quarters? I appear to be having difficulties with the human idea of a "Tie."

[9:11] [DOIC6] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Aria steps out of her sonic shower then walks to her closet and rumages through thinking of what
to wear to the event*

[9:11] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *In the Pilgrim's brig, Milla was standing next to the forcefield control console, currently operated by
an ensign whose name she hadn't learned yet. She looked over the padd for a few moments*

[9:12] [DOIC6] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *hears the muffled talking and rummages for her combadge currently burried under another uniform*
"Give me a few im getting dressed."

[9:12] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *A visibly frustrated Serris sits in a holding cell, tapping his foot.* "Can I go now?"

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: * Down in the mess hall, more people were beginning to arrive.  A Klingon child grabbed at
Ghonor's coat.*

[9:12] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: =^= "I greatly appreciate it."

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Child]  "You said Valkriss would be here!"

[9:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor] *He laughed, patting the boy on the shoulder.*  "I'm sure she'll be along shortly,
Lartak!"

[9:13] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is sitting on a couch, sipping some tea.*

[9:13] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor goes to fix his hair. While he makes sure his ponytail is good, he starts singing, in
what sounds like italian.* "Brucia la luna n'cielu e ju bruciu d'amuri..."

[9:13] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She operated the console, glancing at Milla every now and then.*

[9:14] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *holds up one hanger and then another as though physically weighing them against each other*
"Nothing wrong with being you." *she says quietly to herself as she makes her decision and gets dressed*

[9:14] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *Milla responded without looking up from her padd* Not unless you want to save me the trouble of
interrogation and confess right now.

[9:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She was seated beside Li with a cup of fizzing orange drink, trying to duck when the
camera drones flew past.*

[9:15] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That's assuming I'm guilty of whatever it is you're accusing me of. Isn't that the exact
opposite of how the Federation judicial system is supposed to work?"

[9:15] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *she finishes up glances at herself in the mirror smiles and heads to T'Ghors and rings the chime*

[9:15] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Do I look like a judge to you?

[9:16] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No, but you're certainly acting like one, throwing me in a holding cell with no explanation."

[9:16] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *The door, being unlocked, automatically opens. T'Ghor is still looking into a mirror, messing
with his hair, and singing.* "Brucia la terra mia e abbrucia lu me cori..." *He turns to look at Aria.*

[9:16] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "So um what did you need?"

[9:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He headed right over to Ghonor.*  "Wow, weren't you the guy from Andorian
Gladiator?"

[9:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Hosted all seven seasons!"  *He grinned.*

[9:17] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hello... I'm sorry, but I don't know who to ask..." *He holds up his tie to her.* "This damned
thing will be the death of me... and you're looking absolutely radiant."

[9:17] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: I would've gone for overzealous cop, but I guess you can call me a street judge or whatever you want.
Now, would you like to answer some questions, or should I come back after you've had lunch?

[9:18] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Ask away." *He sounds particularly annoyed.*

[9:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "I want Valkriss!!"

[9:18] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles and blushes slightly* "Thanks." *she looks at the tie* "I've uh never worn one either but
im sure we can figure it out together. Computer any video tutorials on tying a tie?"

[9:19] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *smirks* Alright then. In your own words, describe for me the events from our departure from Starbase 220
until the computer core was repaired.

[9:19] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor would already have one open on his monitor... as well as a torn-up tie next to it, he
clearly had found the instructions unclear.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li frowns, looking to Jill.* I haven't seen Valkriss around.

[9:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "She's probably been busy on the starbase since we got back..."

[9:19] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It was the first night I'd slept in my own bed since the battle. Comfortable. Normally, I
hate mornings, but Waffle Day generally puts me in a good mood. I went to the Mess Hall and met with -

[9:20] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks at the torn up tie then him then the screen wondering how shes going to reach his neck
easily to attempt this*

[9:20] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - Lieutenant Amanar. He ordered scrambled eggs from the replicator, which was malfunctioning.
I popped it open to try and reset the power systems, but the internal connections were an absolute mess."

[9:20] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor chuckles and drops down on one knee.* "Easier?"

[9:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He shushed the Klingon boy again, his eyes brightening as he saw Li and Jill on one
of the couches.  He turned to the camera drone floating near him.*  "And look at who we have here!"

[9:21] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *makes a small note on her PADD as she listens*

[9:21] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Yup or you could just sit in a chair." *chuckles then steps behidn him with the in tact tie and
tries to apply it as shown in the video*

[9:21] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I was then called to the Captain's office for a meeting, where her replicator was also
misbehaving and flooding the room with tea. That's when the intership communications started to malfunction and

[9:21] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Chairs are for the weak." *He says, obviously joking, as he lets Aria try her hand at it.*

[9:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He waved the drone over as he headed over to the couple.*  "And look who we have
here, fan favourites Zorin Li and Jillian Dower, together at last after how many months of keeping us in...

[9:22] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: play music over the speakers. I excelled in computer courses at the Academy, remembered
something from my troubleshooting class about cascading malfunctions and what could cause them."

[9:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: suspense?!"

[9:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She jumped a little, her eyes wide as her mouth opened and closed.*  "I... I...
uh..."

[9:23] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Both the replicators and intership communications are secondary systems, routed through the
secondary computer core. Thing is, if there's a problem with the command processors themselves, they just -

[9:23] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shrugs at this pint, looking at Jill and then leaning over for a kiss.*

[9:23] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - fail to process the command. It had to be some kind of segmentation fault in the memory that
was flooding the command queues with garbage data."

[9:24] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *point

[9:24] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I went to deck 14 to investigate, turns out I was right. Half the memory modules were
degaussed or physically defective, the ODN connections were an absolute mess, and there were coffee stains on the

[9:24] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *makes a couple more notes as she continues to listen*

[9:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *Her face went completely red as Li kissed her, and she closed her eyes.*

[9:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Woah!  Well you saw it here, everyone watching at home!"

[9:25] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: carpet. I powered down the secondary computer core, removed the defective modules, salvaged
one, and then reseated the connections while I waited for engineering to give me the all clear to restart -

[9:26] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - the core. When Commander Xalot gave the signal, I switched on the power flow. Does that
satisfy your expectations?" *He tilts his head at her.*

[9:26] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks at the trainwreck she produced and unties the tie restarting the video so she can try again.
"Who would have though ancient earth attire was so challenging."

[9:26] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vieya]  *She snarled as she watched the scene on her PADD.*  "Disgusting."

[9:26] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] *Frowned at this, looking from the monitor in his and Anderson's room. Anderson seemed
overjoyed.* "You do know what this did to Aria, right?"

[9:27] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Worst comes to worst we can cheat and replicate a high quality clip on you know warrior style so
you cant be choked with it." *smirks*

[9:27] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *makes a couple more notes* The timeline fits, but there are a few questions left unanswered.

[9:27] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Such as?"

[9:27] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He rolls his eyes.*

[9:28] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor laughs.* "That would be admitting defeat. If you want to, I can go without a tie and
pretend I was going for a highly casual style."

[9:28] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: First, you're billetted as an astrophysicist, and according to your record you aren't qualified as an
engineer. Why were you involved with repairs, when we have an engineering staff for that purpose?

[9:28] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li breaks the kiss take a sip of tea.*

[9:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "So tell everyone watching, how have things been since you two hooked up?  Any merit
to certain... pregnancy rumours?"  *He grinned as the camera drone got closer to the couple.*

[9:28] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *A Lillian and anti-Lillian argument erupts in Ankos and Anderson's quarters, definitely
something fun for Ada to spy on.*

[9:29] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Why are you watching this?

[9:29] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "One more try first." *smiled and followed the videos instruction again*

[9:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Wh-what?!  N-no, of course not!"

[9:29] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That will be enough for today, Mister Ghonor.

[9:29] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm also a warp theorist, so I've spent a lot of time in engineering in the past. I applied
for departmental cross-training on the Argentina before it was destroyed. So, with nowhere to go, I've just

[9:29] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran] "As if you don't watch trash, too..."

[9:30] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] *Watching, leaned down on a couch's backrest, as two deltas sat on the couch, she
frowned at the word "Pregnancy."*

[9:30] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: been doing a lot of reading on systems engineering. Between the knowledge I've gained from
studying and what I already knew about computer systems, I had a reasonable expectation that I could handle -

[9:30] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Not /this/.

[9:30] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Not /this/.

[9:30] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - the problem. Out of my area of expertise and possibly out of the chain of command? Sure, but
I was right, wasn't I?"

[9:30] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've always been hands on, and stubborn."

[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor] "I guess we'll see for ourselves over the next few months, won't we!"  *He laughed.*
"Come on, now, everyone's wondering.  What are your expectations for the new season?"

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "These two are boring!  I wanna see Valkriss!"

[9:31] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: You do seem to have a pattern. As I recall, you also attempted to modify the ship's deflector during the
battle of Bajor, using a procedure that had already failed on a previous attempt.

[9:31] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It had also succeeded, and would have succeeded the second time if our heading was properly
aligned."

[9:32] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *steps around front to check from a different angle* "I think you just need to tighten it and you
are good." *smiles and holds out a hand to offer help in standing up*

[9:32] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "As for the third time, it did give us the opportunity to beam an away team aboard, where our
conventional weapons weren't strong enough to open that kind of a vulnerability in their defenses."

[9:32] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *LI looks to Jill, clearly over this line of questioning.*

[9:33] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I believe Commander Valkriss was on record stating that she believed it to be a solid idea,
in theory."

[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She swallowed.*  "Um... we're sure it'll... it'll be just as good as the other
seasons?"

[9:33] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor takes the hand gently, trying not to squeeze at all, allowing himself to be helped up.*
"Thank you..." *He tightens the tie and slips his vest on. He quickly buttons it up and puts the jacket>

[9:33] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He folds his arms, arching a brow at Deati.*

[9:33] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Commander Valkriss doesn't have a history of insubordination, Lieutenant.

[9:34] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *On as well, before holding his arm out, as if offering for Aria to take it.* "Do me the honour
of escorting such beauty to the mess hall?"

[9:34] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: After what happened on Bajor I would be content with some peace and quiet.

[9:34] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (his forearm*)

[9:34] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, what, that means I sabotaged the computer core? That's a leap, and arguably one large
enough to not hold water when justifying holding an officer in a holding cell."

[9:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He kept a smile frozen in place, clearly expecting more.  After a few beats he
turned to the camera with the same smile.*  "Well, you heard it here!  Let's see who else has arrived!"

[9:34] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "You look very Earth fashionable. Sure." *chuckles and accepts his arm interlacing hers with his*

[9:34] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *holds up a finger* I'm not done.

[9:34] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Speaking of insubordination, when I was going through your personal files, I found a certain letter that
you wrote to a certain admiral about a certain captain. Care to explain that?

[9:34] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thank you." *He leads the way out of the quarters to the turbolift.*

[9:35] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li murmurs.* I miss Anne already.

[9:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Cardassian quickly ushered the camera drone and the Klingon child away.*

[9:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Yeah, this new guys seems totally phony..."

[9:36] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Six years' worth of work ignored because of an emotional response on her behalf? You're
absolutely right I'm going to kick it up the ladder, especially when the missing Argentina officers have been -

[9:36] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Deck... Two."  *He seems pleased to have remembered the correct deck.*

[9:36] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - gone for so long. We can't afford to wait any longer to search for them. Project Gateway
could save those people before it's too late."

[9:36] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Looking forward to it?"

[9:37] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "No idea I havent watched anything done by the new guy."

[9:37] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *takes a deep breath to prepare herself for whatever might come* "Ready?"

[9:38] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *looks up from her padd and stares daggers at Serris* It's bad enough that you broke the chain of
command. Don't you dare invoke the name of my former shipmates for your half-baked ideas.

[9:38] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, you don't have to worry about him getting your good side, unlike me... I look like an
old anti-Empire propaganda poster." *He says jokingly, before nodding.* "Ready."

[9:38] [DOIC5] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "You look great. lets go."

[9:39] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Lieutenant Amanar and Lieutenant T'Ghor seemed to agree with my assessment. They seem far
more open-minded in comparison."

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So do you." *He says as he leads her in and looks around the place.*

[9:39] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks around somewhat nervously not sure what to expect*

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Calm down... he probably doesn't bite. And if he does, I'll kick his ass."

[9:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The mess was milling with people at that point, mostly new crewmembers trying to get into
Ghonor's shots.  He spotted Aria almost instantly through the crowd, grinning and heading right toward her...

[9:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: and T'Ghor.*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckled* "Oh gosh I totally don't know what we do now..." *she says quietly as they stand there
in the entranceway*

[9:40] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: I'm not interested in who agrees with your assessment. I'm interested in what you did, and why. You've
already shown you have little regard for authority or the chain of command.

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "He's heading for us... I say we walk in deeper and give him our best arrogant "Superstar"
look?" *He grins.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Aria!  It's so good to see you've made it, I was almost worried we'd miss one of our
fan favourites!"

[9:41] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Commander Xalot has made a point of pointing out I'm not an engineer. Maybe I just wanted to
prove to her that I'm not incapable of understanding the principles."

[9:42] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Now, are we going to continue digging into each others' insecurities, or can I go now?"

[9:42] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Favourites?"

[9:42] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marcus]  *He sat up in the Protector mess, watching the screen on the wall.*  "Oh, shit, it's
T!"

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You're surprised people like you?"

[9:42] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Why are you so anxious to leave, Lieutenant? Do you have a shuttle to catch?

[9:42] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "...A little. I mean I just fix things."

[9:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Of course!  What would the Pilgrim be without its beautiful chief engineer?"  *He
grinned and offered her his hand.*

[9:43] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Chrissstina] *Seems to be the only one watching, from her spot on Ankos' neck, as he and
Anderson were still too busy discussing Li and Jill.*

[9:43] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No, I wanted to attend the party with a particularly fetching Delta colleague of yours."

[9:43] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *blushed and shook his hand*

[9:43] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Um thanks."

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor gives the blushy orion a small chuckle and a supportive smile.*

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *As he took her hand he raised it to try and kiss her on the knuckles.*  "The
pleasure is all mine, and that of millions of viewers from across the Federation right now!"  *he motioned to...

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: the drone.*

[9:44] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Yeah, you'll thank me later for making you late. There's one last question I have for you, at least for
now. You mentioned coffee stains on the carpet near the computer core.

[9:44] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "What about them?"

[9:44] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Would you mind explaining why there was carpet anywhere near the core?

[9:45] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods not knowing what else to do as he kisses her hand* "So um are you making any changes from how
Boyd did things?"

[9:45] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It was there when I got there, and it's the first time I've ever entered that room since I
even came on board."

[9:45] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "He gave up for zis... for zat?" *She shakes her head as the two deltas on the couch
seem to nod an agreement. Green fever seemed to be a thing in the preying harpies.*

[9:46] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (He gave up zis*)

[9:46] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, I can't explain it. Whoever trashed the core must have left it there."

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Some stylistic changes, more interviews with the Pilgrim crew, that sort of thing,
but for the most part day-to-day operations will remain the same.  We don't want to compromise the...

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: integrity of the show or distract you from your duty, of course!"

[9:46] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: And you expect me to believe that someone just decided to place carpet in the one room that should never
have carpet?

[9:47] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* ""So nothing crazy and quarters are off limits right?"

[9:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Only if I'm invited in, of course."  *He grinned.*



[9:48] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* "Well um welcome aboard Sir. I'm sure you'll have fun."

[9:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She nudged Li.*  "You want some hors d'oeuvres?"  *She asked, getting up slowly so as
not to alert any of the other camera drones buzzing around.*

[9:48] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, you seem to believe I can be in two places at once. I spent most of my time with
Lieutenants Amanar and T'Ghor during our layover, I didn't have time to cause that level of disruption to that -

[9:48] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - many systems."

[9:49] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, yes. I fully expect you to believe something that sounds equally as ridiculous."

[9:49] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "I'm certain I will!"  *He then beamed up at T'Ghor.*  "And you must be Lieutenant
T'Ghor!"

[9:49] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure.

[9:50] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor politely nods, holding back his opinion that reporters are rats that should be squashed
under heels.* "I am... you have heard of me?"

[9:50] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "I'm uh going to get a snack I'll leave you two to it." *smiles and gives T'Ghor a supportive pat
on the back as she goes to the snack bar looking around the crowded room as she does so*

[9:51] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Have fun, SuD chal."

[9:51] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sure.

[9:51] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *gets behind Jill in the snack line* "Hey Jill." *she said quietly acknowledging her presence to
keep it from being more awkward*

[9:51] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He says as Aria leaves, smiling at her.*

[9:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Of course, I got a list of all the new crew after all.  And there's a certain...
picture that's come up..."

[9:53] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "A picture?" *T'Ghor acts surprised.*

[9:54] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *makes a note on her PADD* I might be more inclined to believe you if we hadn't searched the entire area
ourselves. There is no carpet anywhere near the core, but we did find traces of coffee.

[9:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She was right behind Gayle, looking back at Aria.  She blinked, cleared her throat
and murmured,*  "Oh, hey Aria..."

[9:54] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, I'm telling you, I saw carpet. Perhaps the actual saboteur is still aboard and we're
both wasting our time?"

[9:55] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Or perhaps you're lying, delusional, or just blind. Tell me, Serris. Do you still see the white woman?

[9:55] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor] "Yes... posted on the official fan forums just a few hours ago.  It seems to show you
in an intimate position with an unknown male in a skant."

[9:56] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "An intimate p... Wait, is it the one where a tiny blue one is holding me up in a bar?"

[9:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "...Nice party huh?" *not knowing what else to say for first words off duty since everything went
awry*

[9:56] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You can ask Commander Xalot, Lieutenant Zorin, and Ensign Dower about that. She was very much
real."

[9:56] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor does well to act surprised.*

[9:57] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "As to whether or not I still see that... being? No."

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "It's um... interesting.  The new host seems... interesting, too."  *Her eyes went to
the platters of food on the counter.*

[9:58] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Yeah." *waits patiently behind her looking over the food and already planning her plate*

[9:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Well, holding you, certainly!"  *he laughed.*  "Is there something we should know
going into this season, Lieutenant?"

[9:59] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: I see. And you haven't been experiencing any unusual symptoms, sightings, or anything that might make you
think you were halucinating?

[9:59] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No."

[9:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *After a moment she seemed to find her nerve as she looked up at Aria.*  "Hey, um... I
know things are really weird still, but... I'm really glad you and Li could, you know, that you could...

[9:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: forgive Li like that.  It really meant a lot to him."

[9:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, first of all, is that that picture was taken on a bet I lost... I certainly hold no
interest in any of my subordinates. And something else... Well, since I have the platform to say it, and >

[10:00] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "He is probably watching now... Marcus, you're a brainless Peta'Q, and I will get you back
someday!"

[10:00] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marcus]  *He laughed uproariously and drained his beer.*

[10:00] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Well, then as of right now, I have no further questions for you. While I'm not completely convinced that
you're innocent, the evidence I've gathered so far seems to point toward that.

[10:01] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Thanks."

[10:01] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *with that, she nods to the ensign at the controls* Try to stay out of trouble from now on?

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "I'm sure he appreciates that, Lieutenant.  So you're not seeing anyone, is what
you're saying?"

[10:02] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  *She let the field fall so the blueberry could escape.*

[10:02] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'll make sure my boots are properly shined to regulation standard before I leave my
quarters."

[10:02] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I am not. Let's say I was engaged, and that fell through, due to unforeseen circumstances."

[10:02] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods avoiding eye contact* "You know it is um forgive and forget... Right?"

[10:02] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He rolls his eyes and leaves the brig.*

[10:02] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *goes back to reading her padd as if nothing had happened*

[10:02] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *As Serris walks down the hallway, he taps his combadge.* =/\= "Zital to Amanar."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: you know how it is*

[10:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Y-yeah..."  *She rubbed her shoulder before quickly picking up a plate and starting
to put things together in pairs for herself and Li.*

[10:04] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *glances at Ettore* No reason to stay here without any quests. Go enjoy the party.

[10:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "How terrible for you!  Tell me, did it have anything to do with the destruction of
your former ship, the Argentina?"

[10:04] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *quietly starts loading her plate lagging far enough behind that she doesnt have to continue the
awkward conversation she mostly loads up on fruits*

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor narrows his eyes.* "Yes. Yes it did."

[10:04] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "You going to come too, ma'am?"

[10:04] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  =/\= "Amanar here."

[10:05] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "You busy?"

[10:05] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Probably not. Never really liked crowds or reporters.

[10:05] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Just got out of the shower, you heard there was a premiere party tonight?"

[10:05] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "See? And the reporter's now asking personal questions like that? This show is
garbage!"

[10:05] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Anderson] "You ask questions like that too!"

[10:06] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Ankos] "It's my damn job!"

[10:06] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Anderson] "So is it his!"

[10:06] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "Yeah, I would have knocked sooner but security thought it would be a fun idea to throw
me in a holding cell for over an hour."

[10:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Very unfortunate, indeed.  For the viewers watching at home who don't know, what
happened to the Argentina?"

[10:06] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *after loading her plate she looks around and heads for a emptyish table at the perifery not
seeing Val or Ilya or nadine to join*

[10:07] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "You sure?  It's a premiere party, you'll show up on FNN.  And I'm sure you want to
meet the new host, make sure he's legit."

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The ship fell like a hero, to defend billions of lives on Bajor and Deep Space Nine, and
using it as a sensation is not very tasteful."

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She hurried back over to the couch to join Li, offering himthe plate.*  "I got a
little of... well, everything that would fit."

[10:08] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  =/\= "Could be worse, you could've been held overnight."

[10:08] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Thanks. *LI smiles and starts eating.*

[10:09] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: Do you want to write a report on the investigation then?

[10:09] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "Depends on how I'm being held overnight. If it's in a pair of strong, green arms, I
think I could live with it." *You could practically hear the smirk.*

[10:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "I assure you, the sacrifice of the Argentina is no laughing matter.  I only wanted
to give you a chance to pay homage to your fallen friends."

[10:09] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "I'm gonna freshen up a bit. Want me to swing by your quarters or did you want to meet
up at the mess hall?"

[10:10] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "Um... well, no, but it could always wait until after the party, ma'am."

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That is appreciated, then. I ask all those watching who hold some religious beliefs to say a
prayer for the fallen men and women of that crew, and those who do not, to just remember them. Honor >

[10:10] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "I'm almost ready, I'll see you at the mess hall."

[10:10] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: =/\= "See you soon."

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The sacrifice they, and every starfleet and Dominion crew made that day."

[10:11] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Starlfleet, Empire, Republic and Dominion*)

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "When are we going to stop talking to these boring people and see VALKRISS?!"

[10:11] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris walks into his quarters, his ponytail immediately sagging. He scrambled out of his
boots and skant and scurried over to his closet, looking for an outfit.*

[10:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You should be taught some respect, whelp."

[10:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor] *He gave a phoned-in laugh.*  "Kids these days, huh?"

[10:12] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He grabs the formal ensemble out of his closet and does his best to put it on quickly but
neatly. Once done, he'd rush over to the mirror and untie his hair, brushing it carefully before tying it -

[10:12] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - back up.*

[10:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "My father would have broken a chair over my head if I acted like that." *T'Ghor frowns.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *people watches and munches on bits of fruit*

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She slipped her arms around Li's, leaning her head on his shoulder.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "My father is a great warrior!  You don't even have a beard!"

[10:13] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li hugs her back.*

[10:13] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: *shrugs and heads for the door* You can tell me how it was later.

[10:13] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: [Valerie] "Klingon parenting... maybe I should utilize ze same methods training you, hm?"
*She grins down at the deltas, who avert their eyes, much to her enjoyment.*

[10:14] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "If you're sure, ma'am... have a good rest of your night.  We'll try not to cause
too many problems for you with the party."

[10:14] [DOIC5] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He goes to rush out the door, but hesitates, rushing over to pluck off one of the metara
fruits Amanar liked and THEN rushing out the door.*

[10:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I do not have a beard, because I chose to shave it off, in respect of one of the two cultures
that raised me." *He looks up to the Cardassian.* "Why do you have an annoying whelp following you around

[10:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (?*)

[10:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Why, this is Lartak, son of Chorik, and our lucky Win A Tour Of The Pilgrim prize
winner!"

[10:16] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I see. Maybe his father should teach him to show respect when people talk of those who went
to Sto'Vo'Kor."

[10:16] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris slows down on his way down the corridor to the mess hall, straightening out his tie
with his right hand as he walks with the fruit in his left.*

[10:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  *He arrived at Aria's table, beaming.*  "Isn't this so exciting?!"

[10:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "You don't talk about my father like that!"  *The baby Klingon tried to punch T'Ghor
in the hip.*

[10:18] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiled at the jovial bolian* "Yeah its pretty nice I guess. Im not really used to this sort of
thing."

[10:19] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor grabs the child and raises him in the air.* "Pitiful. Let me tell you something, that
your father as a great warrior would agree with me on. The great warriors in Sto'Vo'Kor deserve your >

[10:19] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Respect and admiration. And if you're not willing to give it to them, you're not worthy of
calling yourself a klingon, or your father's son."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris enters the mess hall, dressed up to the nines.*

[10:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She winced a little, watching the scene with the two Klingons.*  "This is a weird
party..."

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "I'm sure it'll kick off more later in the evening!"

[10:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "Arrgh!  Let gooo!"  *he kicked and punched at the air as he was held aloft.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Heeeey now, let's just set the kid down!"

[10:21] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tilts his head at the sight of T'Ghor fussing with a Klingon kid.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *waves at Serris when she sees him and smiles thinking of what T'Ghor had told her a few nights
ago*

[10:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He arrived behind Serris, also tilting his head at the sight.*  "What the..."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris blinks, turning to Amanar.* "Did he ever mention anything about a kid?"

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It is a learning experience, my cardassian friend. By klingon parenting standards, I am being
gentle." *He lets go of the kid.* "Ask your father about my words, and you'll see I was right."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks at Leige* "More?"

[10:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "No, but Klingon kids grow fast, don't they?  Maybe he got one on the Starbase..."

[10:23] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Just a little.

[10:23] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris laughs.* "That's stretching the realm of believability, don't you think?"

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Yes, but we do have certain contractual obligations for the prize winner..!"  *He
straightened his face back into that cheesey smile.*  "No matter, I'm sure it'll be fine..."

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "AAAAAAAARGH!"  *He went running out the mess hall door and down the hallway.*

[10:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Oh no... production assistant..!  Camera, off!"

[10:25] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Hey!"  *She glared as the feed cut to commercial.*

[10:25] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And it is my moral obligation as a klingon to teach him to be a worthy man, and prevent him
from disrespecting the honored dead. Have a good night."

[10:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Stranger things have happened... come on, let's give the poor guy a hand."

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "You know, when all the main cast shows up!  I'm only seeing you and Li and Serris
and Jill so far."

[10:27] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "A hand with what? Parenting?"

[10:27] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *watches the ruckus quietly*

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "You think the others are sitting the party out?"

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Or whatever the hell it is that he's gotten himself into."

[10:27] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles and shakes her head* "Main cast."

[10:28] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris shrugs, walking over to Ghonor and T'Ghor.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Val and Ilya probably are this totally isnt Ilya's style."

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He sent a production assistant down the hall after the Klingon boy, frowning at
T'Ghor.*  "Look, I get that you've got to show off, but would you not do things in front of the camera that..

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: could get us kicked off air?"

[10:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I am not showing off. I would have acted the same way without cameras around. That brat is a
disgrace to his parents."

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "That 'brat' is a guest of honour and a prize winner, no one's going to enter to win
the next one if this is what they think goes on here!"

[10:30] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Problem, gentlemen?"

[10:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Maybe they should've made it mandatory," *he laughed.*

[10:30] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "They have brains, don't they? They saw how disrespectfully he acted." *He nods to Blue.*
"Nothing, Blue. Just cultural differences."

[10:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "They saw you swinging that kid around like a doll, that's for sure," *he smirked.*

[10:31] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Pff. They should have seen my father, I was gentle."

[10:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "At least they aren't pointing the cameras at us again..."

[10:31] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *deadpans at Leige* "You've met Ilya how do you think shed act if she was forced to be here?"

[10:32] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *picard maneuvers her skirt*

[10:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "I'm not asking about your father, I'm asking you not to do that in front of the
cameras!"

[10:32] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You want me to play a fake character? What about this being a reality show?"

[10:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Yeah... she's not a fan of Cardassians, either, is she?  I don't think she's going
to like the new host..."

[10:33] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'd be... happy to give an interview in his stead."

[10:33] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris forces a smile.*

[10:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "I didn't say be fake, I said don't do it in front of the cameras!  How hard is
that?"  *He looked down at Serris then.*

[10:33] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs we will see* "But hey at least this isnt as awkward as I thought it would be."

[10:34] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I won't do it in front of cameras..." *T'Ghor pouts, as if Ghonor had
told him not to spoil his dinner with ice cream.*

[10:34] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Wait a minute... I know you..."

[10:34] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Never met you before in my life." *Serris says matter-of-factly.*

[10:34] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Weren't you on the show before, Blue? Of course he'd know you, he's the host."

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Heh, you didn't hear the questions he was asking Li and Jill earlier..."

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "You're the one from that leaked photo!"

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "...You're famous, Serris."

[10:35] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Do I even want to know?"

[10:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Probably not."

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor facepalms.* "He's speaking of that dumb photo. When we bet you couldn't pick me up,
and Marcus wanted to take a photo of us."

[10:36] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah that is nice.

[10:36] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Marcus, idiot that he is, shared it with the whole world, apparently."

[10:36] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Oh, that one."

[10:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She frowned slightly at Li.*  "You want to ditch this party..?  You don't seem like
you're having much fun..."

[10:36] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can give you an exclusive. Want to make a bet I can pick up big, tall, and handsome here?"

[10:36] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris casually gestures to Amanar, smirking.*

[10:36] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Nah, I'm out."

[10:36] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh. Other big, tall and handsome. Good.

[10:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He peered between T'Ghor and Amanar.*  "He looks a bit bigger than the Klingon."

[10:37] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor chuckles.* "Watch and be amazed my friend."

[10:37] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "What do you say, play along for the cameras?" *He bats his eyelashes up at Amanar.*

[10:38] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "You're going to ruin my image for the entire Federation, you know," *he smirked.*

[10:38] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That's not a no~"

[10:38] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That will make two of us who have to pay Marcus back for this, Amanar... we can cause double
the trouble."

[10:38] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Hold on, let me turn the camera back on.  Camera, activate."

[10:38] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Come oooon, don't tell me you're scared, Amanar..."

[10:38] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he chuckled.*  "I am not!  Just do it..."

[10:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Good boy."

[10:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Did you just..."

[10:39] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, if you insist." *Serris shrugs, then moves to swoop Amanar off his feet and plant a
kiss on him.*

[10:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor makes a theatrical gasp for the cameras.*

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Woah!"  *He was swept up by the blueberry as predicted, eyes widening at the kiss.*

[10:40] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li's eyes go wide.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Aaaaaaaaaaaand we're back, Pilgrim superfans, here just in time to see what's been
brewing here on the ship!  Why don't you tell everyone your names and positions?"

[10:41] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris breaks the kiss, smirking. He holds up the fruit with his free arm.* "Oh, and I
brought you something just in case you didn't like the catering."

[10:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he chuckled and took the fruit, looking to the camera.*  "Uh... Lieutenant Amanar,
temporary duty here on the Pilgrim?"

[10:41] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He uses his other arm to brace Amanar back up to standing position.*

[10:41] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor pats the cardassian's shoulder and goes to Laige and Aria's table, picking up a bottle
of champagne and a few glasses on the way.*

[10:42] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She blinked in surprise.*  "Isn't Serris with Zandris..?"

[10:42] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Room for one more, SuD Chal?" *He looks to Aria.*

[10:42] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Serris Zital, assistant chief science officer."

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Oh... OHHH.  Yes, of course, Lieutenant Zital, from last season!"

[10:43] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "SuD Chal?" *looks around to make sure hes talking to her*

[10:43] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, you."

[10:43] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris braces Amanar with the hand around his back and helps him back to standing up.*

[10:43] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "One and the same."

[10:43] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Sure."

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar] *He straightened out his tuxedo t-shirt as he went to stand.*

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Well, I'm sure you'll make an impression this season if you keep things like that
up!"

[10:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He sits down, nodding to Laige.* "Lieutenant T'Ghor, new chief Science." *He looks to Aria
again.* "Are there reporters and annoying whelps every day on the ship?"

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Orjen Laige, engineering," *he smiled at T'Ghor.*

[10:45] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I dunno.

[10:45] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris casually fixes Amanar's tie.* "Maybe not in front of the camera." *He smirks, then
walks over to the buffet line.*

[10:46] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Reporter yup hes embeded like Ann was. Children. Not usually. Using them as barbells isnt
recomended though." *smiles slightly*

[10:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She was still perusing the finger foods, tapping her chin.*

[10:46] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "He lacks any kind of discipline. If I made an impression of him, I'm happy... Champagne?"

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  *He headed around to begin interviewing other crewmembers in the room.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Sure I guess."

[10:47] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "You should see if he will talk to you Leige I mean you are a fan right?"

[10:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She gave a slight sigh, then looked up as music began streaming through the mess
hall.*  "Um... should we dance?"

[10:48] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li grins.* I thought you'd never ask.

[10:48] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor pours one of the glasses, then offers it to Aria. He places another in front of Leige,
and the third in front of himself, filling them up too.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Ohh!  Yes!  I should!  The new host was on The Federation Has Talent too, I LOVE
that show!"  *He hurried toward Ghonor.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris loads up a plate with a few hors d'oeurves and grabs a glass of sparkling water and
walks back over to Amanar.* "I hope I didn't embarrass you too much."

[10:49] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Huh... he seems... energetic." *He raises his glass towards Aria.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "I'll have some questions to answer from my father I think, but I'll be fine."  *He
chuckled.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Remember only say nice things about me." *chuckles in a joking manner at Leige*

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "I only have nice things to say about you, Aria!"

[10:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She took Li's hand, heading out to the part of the mess where others were beginning
to dance.*

[10:51] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Like anyone would have something bad to say about you." *He grins, waiting for the glasses to
clink.*

[10:51] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Such a brave gentleman." *He chuckles, taking a sip of his water, then holding up the
plate.* "Can I interest you in some hasperat chicken?"

[10:51] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "What you dont think I can be the mean old section chief?" *chuckles*

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She gave up on finding the right food and headed to dance as well.*

[10:52] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Let's hope I don't wake up mean chief Aria, then."

[10:52] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Best of two worlds," *he chuckled and picked one up, practically inhaling it with
his enormous mouth.*

[10:52] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm guessing mom won't have much of a problem with that then?"

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he paused for a moment, then shook his head.*  "She's not in the picture," *he said
with a slight edge to his voice.*

[10:53] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles and smiles*

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He stepped through the doors in a nice suit, immediately spotting Serris and Amanar.
He clenched his jaw slightly and headed over to the tables quickly.*

[10:54] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "To a successful season? And a relative lack of drama?" *He smiles back at her.* "Unless we
want to make some drama and get merchandise with our faces on it."

[10:54] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sorry I brought it up." *He lays a sympathetic hand on Amanar's arm.* "I haven't really
spoken to my parents since I left the colony."

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Jill wrapped her arms around Li's neck, smiling at him as she let herself get lost inthe
music.*

[10:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles and waves at Kol*

[10:55] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "It's fine, you had no way of knowing.  You haven't even sent them a subspace
message?"

[10:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "A little late on the merchandise they already have action figure things of me." *chuckles*

[10:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Who knows if there are varients by now."

[10:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He spotted Aria, heading over to her table.*  "Hey, chief," *he managed a slight
smile.*

[10:56] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, I don't, I gotta play catch-up." *He drinks the champagne like it's water, smiling to
the betazoid.* "Hello."

[10:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Hey. Get some food and take a load off." *smiles*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "They... didn't want me to leave the colony after my brother died, they didn't want to be
without their only child they had left."

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Food can wait.  Is that champagne?"  *He slipped into a chair next to Aria.*

[10:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods and sips hers for the first time making a strange face as she tasted it*

[10:57] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor grabs a clean glass from the table and fills it up for Kol, placing it in front of
him.* "It is."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Words were exchanged, and I set off for Starfleet Academy."

[10:58] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li wraps his arms around her waist as they dance.*

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He frowned.*  "Well if they didn't want to lose you to the Academy, they certainly
don't want to lose touch with you..."

[10:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Nectar of the gods..."  *He murmured and took a long sip.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Jill beamed at Li, leaning in for a soft kiss as the song ended.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor shrugs.* "Really weak, but the taste is nice. I blame my mate for getting me hooked."

[10:59] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Not bad but its different. Like a sour soda maybe?"

[11:00] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods at Aria.* "Exactly."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "My p'saya essentially implied that he blames me for what happened to Itari, the accident
that left him in a vegetative state."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li returns the kiss as they danced.*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He sounds detached.* "That's not something you say to your child."

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He blinked.*  "No... it's really not.  Sorry, Serris."

[11:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The music in the lounge changed over to a song that would be quite familiar to Li and
Aria... **

[11:01] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "So what do you think of the outfit Kol? Too much?"

[11:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Nah.  It looks good on you."  *he smiled at the Orion faintly.*

[11:01] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, we can stand here swapping sob stories or we can forge something happy in spite of
them, hm?"

[11:02] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles until she hears the song*

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Too true.  Want to find a table?"

[11:02] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Has an... edge to it. That's w..."  *He furrows his brows.* "What's the matter, SuD Chal?"

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He looked at Aria with concern upon sensing her change in mood.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li closes his eyes, opening them before he goes to sit down.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She blinked in surprise.*  "Li?" *She asked, heading after him.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sure. I seem to remember you saying you weren't the dancing type, anyway."

[11:04] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li sits back down on the couch.*

[11:04] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Bad memories. This was the song of our first dance."

[11:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Only if you give me a whole bunch of those... what were they called?  Something
like iambics?"

[11:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yo... Oh." *He furrows his brow.* "It is a song... you cannot let it defeat you." *He stands
up to offer her his hand.* "That's why, you have to replace it with some good memories?" *Tilts his head >

[11:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *To the dance floor, as if to offer her the dance.*

[11:05] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She went to sit down next to him.*  "What's wrong?"

[11:05] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Did you prefer the lambic or the framboise?" *He chuckles, walking over to a table with
him.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head, leaning over to whisper.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Uh... Imma be honest with you, I don't remember which one was which."

[11:06] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shakes her head looking shocken up for a moment* "Im not really feeling it maybe latter." *puts
up a happy facade*

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She frowned at the whisper but nodded, reaching over to clasp his hand
supportively.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The framboise was the one brewed and fermented with raspberry and blackberry."

[11:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods, gently squeezing her shoulder.* "Want me to get you some comfort food, then?"

[11:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "It's alright... song's almost over..."  *He smiled at Aria.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shakes her head* "No no im fine dont worry about me."

[11:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "I remember they were both fruity..."

[11:08] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor sits, giving her a supportive smile.* "I admire your strength."

[11:08] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles not really buying it*

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "There's a lot of stuff about tonight that's... upsetting," *He frowned.*  "But we just
have to focus on the better aspects, right?"

[11:09] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Nothing you would have ordered unless I pointed you to it."

[11:09] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You do not look like you believe me." *He tilts his head a bit.* "What would I have to gain
from lying?"

[11:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She nodded to Li, offering him a gentle kiss as the song changed to something else.*

[11:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "What can I say, usually I just walk up to a counter, tell them to beer me, and I
receive a beer."

[11:10] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li returns the kiss.*

[11:10] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "I uh... I understand you are trying to be nice. I'm not mad. It's just not exactly strong to want
to cry over a stupid song. And Yes Kol we just have to overcome."

[11:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  *the little Klingon ran into the room, yelling and knocking over hors o'oeuvres
trays as an aide ran behind him.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "YOU SAID VALKRISS WOULD BE HEEEEEEERE!!"

[11:12] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "A man of simple pleasures, hm?" *Serris chuckles.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Aria..." *He glares at the kid, before looking back to her.* "You know klingons really count
on their mates, right? I would probably have been broken if I went through what you did. Instead, you >

[11:12] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *raises a eyebrow watching the catastrophee* "Hmm." *She got up to try something*

[11:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Walk into a room and brighten it up."

[11:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Koros]  *The enormous Klingon chef emerged from the kitchen.*  "YOU DO NOT DISHONOUR MY
MESSHALL!"

[11:13] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *walks over to the kid trying to de escalate the situation*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You know, this is starting to look less like a party and more like a circus." *Serris looks
over at the kid and then back to Amanar.* "Want to go for a walk?"

[11:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks to the chef.* "THE BRAT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, I ALREADY TRIED TO DISCIPLINE HIM!"
*He bellows over the music and shouts.*

[11:14] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Hey hey hey calm down little guy what if I told you a secret."

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "And then some..."  *He peered over at Aria and Lartak, before looking back at
Serris.*  "Yeah, let's do it."

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "What!"

[11:14] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles at him*

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Kid's got spirit at least..."  *He commented absently, looking more at Serris and
Amanar than at the Klingon kid.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *leans down to whisper in his ear* "Valkriss is on a secret assignment today. But shes going to be
watching this to look for spies you dont want her to see you being bad right?"

[11:15] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris gets up and walks over to the door, waiting for Amanar.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he headed over to follow Serris.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods, before looking to the direction Kol's looking at. He stays silent, not knowing
what to say.*

[11:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "Valkriss is watching?"

[11:16] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris smiles, leading him down the corridor.*

[11:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He glanced back at T'Ghor, then shrugged his shoulders.*  "What are you going to do?"
*he asked rhetorically, draining his champagne glass.*

[11:17] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* "If your good I'll make sure she sends you a jumbo signed valkriss action figure... But if
you break things.... She might not want to. I mean you know we are besties right?"

[11:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She looked curiously over at Aria and Lartak.*

[11:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Life..." *Offers his hand* "Lieutenant T'Ghor, new science chief, apparently."

[11:18] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "Yes, I remember you!  You are the green woman who was put aside by the honourless
wrinkle-nose!"

[11:18] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Times like these, you start to get a greater understanding for why they don't allow families
on starships anymore."

[11:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he took the hand.*  "Lieutenant Zandris Kol, engineering."  *he looked at him
curiously.*  "Wasn't Serris made the science chief?"

[11:19] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *blinks at that* "...Yeah. So Valkriss is big on manners what do you say to the nice man who made
all this food you knocked over?"

[11:20] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Especially not Klingon families," *he chuckled.*  "We should've put T'Ghor in a wig
and made him pretend to be Valkriss.  Maybe that would've calmed the kid down."

[11:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  *He looked at Koros towering over him.* "...Sorry."

[11:21] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I get the feeling it'd be easier to get you to dance."

[11:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Koros]  "If you were truly sorry, you would clean up the mess you've made and put it in the
kitchen!"  *He pointed.*

[11:21] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Serris was acting science chief, until I came aboard. Captain decided my experience would be
more valuable."

[11:22] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Awesome. Did anyone show you around the ship yet? Like where the photon torpedoes are stored?"
*smiles*

[11:22] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "You'd be surprised, he makes a good female.  He'd kill me for telling you about it,
but we did have to do it one time for a mission... very convincing."

[11:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "The Cardassian said I'd get a tour after the party!"

[11:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A camera drone flew very close to Li and Jill again.*

[11:23] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I could maybe see him getting away with it, but you? Your shoulders are too broad."

[11:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "It makes more sense, since he spends all his days in Engineering and the mess hall..."

[11:23] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *LI peers at the drone, as if to say get lost.*

[11:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* "Ok well why dont you enjoy some of the food then I mean it looks really tasty right. And
I'll make sure that one of the security guys Valkriss trained personally takes you all around the ship.

[11:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Does that sound fun!?"

[11:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah... and apparently, my record is "Exemplary", so hey... no pressure..."

[11:24] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Oh, I wasn't the one dressing up.  I was selling him into marriage."

[11:24] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "How stereotypical of you."

[11:24] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "It worked!"

[11:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "Yeah!!"

[11:25] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "His poor husband must have been so sad when you had to renege on that contract. Did you at
least refund him the cost of the ring?"

[11:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The drone got even closer.*

[11:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Seriously..?"

[11:26] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Even better, we took him into Federation custody."

[11:26] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li swats at it.*

[11:26] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris pivots on his heel, laughing as they enter the turbolift.* "Deck three."

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol] "Just head science on a science vessel..."  *He chuckled.*

[11:26] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "How'd you get the charge to stick? Sounds like entrapment."

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The camera drone flew away finally.*

[11:27] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Awesome. Have fun." *Aria patted him on the back and headed to her table hoping crisis averted*

[11:27] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "With the vulcan captain calling his record "Exemplary', which in vulcan I think is "Totally
f'n awesome."

[11:27] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks to Aria.* "How did you even..."

[11:27] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Well, it wasn't the 'buying a Klingon wife' thing we got him for, he had a whole
list of other charges.  That was how we got his location."

[11:28] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, what, you put T'Ghor in drag, threw him up on Spacr, and hoped for the best?"

[11:28] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "It was a little more involved than that."

[11:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She sighed as it flew off, leaning her cheek against Li's shoulder.*

[11:28] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Did you have to fake a twat shot?"

[11:29] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "How did I what?"

[11:29] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "...No.  Thankfully, no."

[11:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Calm the whelp down?" *He grins.*

[11:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Anyone ever tell you you're a narutal with Klingon children?"

[11:29] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He chuckles to himself as the doors open, continuing down the labyrinthine corridors.*

[11:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *natural ))

[11:30] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles and shrugs* "Kids are kids, and I like kids."

[11:30] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can only imagine Marcus critiquing that. 'No, no, the hair is all wrong'."

[11:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "We did get into a bit of a situation when he wanted to... sample the goods before
he bought..."  *He laughed then.*  "He was more disappointed that we didn't make T'Ghor wear a more...

[11:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: flattering dress."

[11:31] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He has a warrior's hips, you can't hide those."

[11:31] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well.. so long as he remembers what I told him... I want him to grow up to have honour... And
Aria. You know I'm a klingon, right? I wouldn't lie to you... I don't lie. Well, there was that one time>

[11:31] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "When me and Amanar... yeah, that's a story I'm taking to Sto'Vo'kor."

[11:31] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "I was even leading the push to have families reintegrated on certain ships for awhile." *sighs*

[11:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He looked at T'Ghor curiously.*

[11:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You were?"

[11:32] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh? That's... kind of you."

[11:32] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Good thing Klingon women have those, too," *he laughed.*

[11:32] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* "Id like to have a few but well thats for someone else to push for now."

[11:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I don't know.  It gets really dangerous out there... think what would have happened if
we'd run into the Scyrthi with a bunch of children on-board."

[11:33] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You know he actually said to my face that thinks I'm well-equipped? That was surreal."

[11:33] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: (*that he)

[11:33] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "She said certain ships... maybe medical ones and so on... But I can see why you'd want
children, Aria... maybe someday, when you have a more relaxed assignment than this mess."

[11:33] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He raised a brow.*  "Well, he does have eyes..."

[11:34] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* "Well and someone to have them with that always helps." *chuckles but Kol can probably feel
some hurt*

[11:35] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And what, pray tell, is that supposed to mean?"

[11:35] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I'm sure that won't be an issue, Aria."

[11:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *His look softened for a moment, and reached to touch Aria on the shoulder.*  "The
right person's out there, and all the wrong people you meet on the way are just preparing you for them."

[11:35] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods and munches on some fruit*

[11:36] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "It's hard to ignore certain... assets."

[11:37] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Such as?" *He stops at a junction near the crew cabins, turning to Amanar with an amused
smirk.*

[11:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Alright ladies and gentlemen, this evening's festivities are about winding to a
close!  Can I get everyone to please line up for a group photo to mark the beginning of the new season!"

[11:38] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor smiles, offering Aria a hand to help her up.* "Show the galaxy that radiant smile,
now."

[11:38] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *accepts and smiles as she stands*

[11:38] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li slowly gets up, offering Jill a hand.*

[11:38] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He looked left, right, behind him, and then turned back to Serris.*  "Well...
you've got an ass that most Orion women would claw each other's eyes out for."

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He rose as well, chuckling softly and heading into position.*

[11:39] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "There we go." *He leads her to line up in front of the Cardie.*

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She took his hand, rising to her feet and squeezing it gently.*

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The others in the room started to line up as well.*

[11:40] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *hopes they dont wedge the smiling lillian against her for a drama promo shot*

[11:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Luckily, Gayle seemed to be the buffer between Aria and Lillian.*

[11:40] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor gives Aria's hand a supportive, light squeeze, before letting go of it and wrapping
his hand around her shoulder in a friendly manner.*

[11:40] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris grins, his face flushing violet as he bites his lip.* "You know, the last time you
were in this section, things got... awkward for a bit."

[11:41] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Yeah..."  *he rubbed the back of his bald head.*

[11:41] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Okay, everyone give me a big smile now!"  *He tapped his PADD.*

[11:42] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles*

[11:42] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I like spending time with you, and I'd be more than willing to go further if you wanted to,
but I don't want to do anything that would make you uncomfortable or ruin this weird little friendship we -

[11:42] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor gives his best smile to the Cardassian.*

[11:42] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - built up."

[11:42] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She held Li from the side, offering him a small kiss.*

[11:42] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles.*

[11:42] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *He gives Jill a quick kiss then goes back to smiling.*

[11:43] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he sighed.*  "Let's just... see what happens.  I'm really not looking for a
relationship right now, beyond friendship anyway."

[11:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *As the rest of the crew gave their best smiles or poses, there was a small clicking noise
from the camera drone.*

[11:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Excellent!  One more, just in case!"

[11:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he rolled his eyes and kept the fake smile on.*

[11:44] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor tries hard not to tell the cardassian what exactly he thinks of reporters, and stays
posed.*

[11:44] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *goofing off she does a pose hands on her hips blowing a kiss at the camera*

[11:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "I WANNA BE IN THE PICTURE!"  *He raced in just as camera clicked again, capturing
the little blur for all time.*

[11:45] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I know. Actually, I wanted to talk about that. You've spent a lot of time alone, dwelling on
everything. Did you..." *He hesitates.* "... lose someone, or...?"

[11:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She couldn't help but giggle despite herself.*

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Lame... who lets a kid win a starship tour, anyway?"

[11:46] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, okay, maybe that was a bad question, given the circumstances."

[11:46] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor keeps silent, having promised the Cardassian to act child-friendly.*

[11:46] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He didn't respond right away.*  "No... no, it's fine.  I... well, I was getting a
bit close to... one person on the Argentina.  But it never went anywhere before... you know."

[11:47] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ghonor]  "Eh... the first one was fine.  Thank you all!"

[11:47] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *walks to the nearest console and beep boops* =^= Commander Xalot to Tier.

[11:48] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  =/\= "Ensign Teir here, how can I help you Commander?"

[11:48] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs.*

[11:48] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Between wondering about what could have been and then the fear of something like that
happening again... yeah. Yeah, I understand."

[11:48] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Raises an eyebrow to Aria, before going to the counter, hoping the chef made something
klingon-y too.*

[11:48] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= I have a special assignment that would be a personal favor if you could meet me at the mess
hall."

[11:49] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *T'Ghor would find a big, writhing bowl of gagh.  No one seemed to have touched any of it.*

[11:49] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir] =/\= "On my way, Commander."

[11:49] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Thanks.

[11:49] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Not to sound too much like a counselor, but... I think situations where things you really
care about are taken away from you serve to remind you just how precious they are."

[11:50] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *then beep boops on the replicator to make a non functioning com badge and a toy pilgrim she walks
over to the small klingon and kneals offering him the items*

[11:50] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks at the Gagh sadly... His company was too polite and non-klingon for it. He
looked around for the chef or any of his minions.*

[11:50] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He nodded.*  "Yeah... that's what everyone's been telling me, at least."

[11:50] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And as you move on and forge new bonds and new friendships, don't be afraid to seize the
moment and act impulsively."

[11:50] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Because at least then, you've taken the chance."

[11:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "Ooh!"  *he took the items offered to him, grinning at Aria.*

[11:51] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And you won't have to wonder about what could have been."

[11:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Koros]  *He could be spotted in the kitchen.*

[11:51] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "So I have that specially hand trained secuirty guy coming to give you a tour. Hes done a bunch of
missions against all sorts of bad guys. He will show you all around if your good and tell Valkriss to

[11:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She shook her head, looking at Li as the music started playing a different song.*

[11:52] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Because you're too busy living."

[11:52] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: keep a eye out for a promising young warrior to recruit latter if your good. Are you going to make
Valkriss proud?"

[11:52] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He gave a slight laugh and nodded again.*  "Maybe so... but I don't know that I'm
ready for that just yet."

[11:52] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li moves away to dance with Jill.*

[11:52] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Chef? Could you please pack some of the gag for me to take to my quarters after all of this
is over?"

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "Of course, anything for Valkriss!"

[11:53] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Gagh*)

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Koros]  *He turned, squinting at T'Ghor for a moment.*  "If there is any left, you may take
it," *he said and went back to work.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Awesome." *smiles stands up and waits for Tier*

[11:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She grinned and slid her arms around Li as they danced again.*

[11:54] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And that's fine. I did notice that the catering menu had a distinct lack of beef stroganoff.
You feeling up to dinner?"

[11:54] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Chuckles quietly at the chef's optimism and gets himself some small triangular sandwiches to
take to the table.*the table.

[11:54] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No commitments, promise." *He holds up his hands in a mock surrender, smirking.*

[11:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  *He stepped in through the doors in his uniform, heading to Aria.*  "Ma'am."

[11:55] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He dug his hands in his jacket pockets, watching Aria and the mini-Klingon.*

[11:55] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Alright... alright.  You did say the magic words..."

[11:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *beams* "Hey so our young warrior here won a tour of the pilgrim and since Valkriss is on a secret
mission." *gives him a knowing dont say otherwise wink*

[11:55] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "What, 'no commitments'?" *He laughs.*

[11:55] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "No... beef stroganoff.."

[11:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "I figured one of the best warriors on the whole ship could take him for a grand tour."

[11:56] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And some mentara fruit for dessert."

[11:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Plus who would know more about phasers and fighting and stuff than you right?"

[11:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Teir and Lartak looked between each other for a moment.*

[11:56] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris leads Amanar down the hall to his quarters.*

[11:56] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "...Right... I'll do as you say, Commander."

[11:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  *He went to take Teir's hand.*

[11:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  *He did not look at all pleased.*

[11:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "You're the best. Tell him some stories im sure he will love it."

[11:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "I... will do so.  Come."  *He said to the small Klingon, trying to lead him to the
door.*

[11:58] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Computer, adjust gravity to ship standard.*

[11:58] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris taps the door control and walks inside.*

[11:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Lartak]  "I bet my father could cut your funny feelers off."

[11:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Teir]  "...That is unlikely."

[11:58] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *beams then chuckles at that*

[11:59] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He headed in after the blueberry.*

[11:59] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Have fun. Remember Valkriss will be watching latter..."

[11:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "You owe him so big now, I hope you realise."

[12:00] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris makes an effort to set the table first, then heads over to the replicator.* "Beef
stroganoff with portobello and a touch of extra garlic, extra thick broth."

[12:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She laid her head on Li's shoulder as they danced.*  "You're awfully quiet
tonight..."

[12:01] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The requested food materialised before Serris.*

[12:01] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor was just finishing one of the small triangular sandwiches he brought to the table.*
"Peddling the kid off to that poor andorian? How devious."

[12:01] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris takes the tray and places it across from him for Amanar.*

[12:01] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *snags a ice cream from the desert table before rejoiing T'Ghor*

[12:02] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He got himself a slice of carrot cake and headed after Aria.*

[12:02] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He then goes back to the replicator.* "Second bowl for me, please."

[12:02] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he chuckled and began mixing the sauce up with the noodles.*

[12:02] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah...a lot on my mind.

[12:02] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "T'Ghor doesnt get out much its a chance to socialize. Plus I think he's going to be good for the
rest of his stay."

[12:02] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Bowl number two magicked into existence.*

[12:03] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He then seats himself.* "All yours." *He gestures to the table.*

[12:03] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, I did see you bribing him... not the klingon way, but if it gets him to behave..."

[12:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She nodded.*  "Well... let's get your mind off that, huh?"  *She smiled then, taking
his hands and letting the rhythm of their dance pick up with the next song.*

[12:05] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "At the end of the day hes not my kid im not raising him and one night of interaction isnt going
to change his manners so you work with what you got." *shrugs*

[12:05] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He went to sit down, which he apparently forgot to do before stirring his noodles.
Awkward.*  "Going to be interesting I guess... with the show back on air and all."

[12:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "The host really wanted to kick the poor kid, too, I could tell."

[12:06] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The cameras ignored me last year, although, since I gave them a show.."

[12:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, I lost my nerve when he tried to punch me, I'll admit."

[12:06] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Yeah they should have put a minimum age in or at least brough the kids parents along."

[12:06] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He takes a large forkful and eats it.* "... that might not be the case."

[12:06] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "You might've inadvertently made us stars."

[12:07] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *munches on ice cream*

[12:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Strip of latinum says there'll be a minimum age requirement next time," *he laughed.*

[12:07] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Better stars for a kiss than stars for what happened on that couch last week."

[12:08] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Speaking of latinum now you can sell signed iteams so you can buy whatever you want on shore
leave." *chuckles*

[12:08] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *His cheeks darkened very subtly.*  "Good thing there were no camera drones..."

[12:08] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li smiles and picks up the pace.*

[12:08] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Ooh. I can't wait to get my merchandise, so I can sell some signed stuff..."

[12:09] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, if I get you used to high gravity, I doubt they'd be able to float around in here, if
that makes you feel any better."

[12:09] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "So what do you think that forum you told me about will be talking about tonight?"

[12:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "There's over two hundred people on the ship, I doubt I'll be one of the main focuses,"
*he chuckled.*

[12:10] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Good to know..."

[12:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She laughed softly as they danced, letting herself fall into it and forget the
people watching around them.*

[12:11] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "We just go party at someplace the drones can follow on shore leave im sure you'll get attention
Kol." *chuckles* "Engineers gone wild Risa edition!"

[12:11] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The forum... there will be a lot of comments on your outfit."

[12:12] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Good, bad?"

[12:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Probably a little of both, depending on your perspective..."

[12:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well... Yeah. Depends on the perspective."

[12:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Let's just say they won't be as... tame in their epiteths of you as I am."

[12:13] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She tossed the PADD away.*  "I woulda just beaten that little brat...  He needs
it..."

[12:13] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Annnd thats why I don't check any of that. After im done with this ice cream you guys want to
dance some?"

[12:13] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li does the same.*

[12:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Of course."

[12:14] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] No kids then...got it.

[12:14] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Might even help with your workouts, too."

[12:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I don't check it either, but you know how people are.  Beautiful woman in a cute
outfit, there's going to be more creeps than you can count."

[12:14] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks at Kol not wanting to leave him out especially after him seeing his ex with his new beu*

[12:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Definitely. The people on these forums are... bleurgh."

[12:14] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "It was never gonna happen anyway!"

[12:14] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "I'm suprised im popular."

[12:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He shrugged.*  "I'm surprised at most of the people who get popular.  But not that you
did.  Dancing sounds great though."

[12:16] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Probably.  Might even get as strong as you..."

[12:16] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You're the cast's prettiest. And you're also a sweetheart. Hard not to like you."

[12:16] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *blushes* "I don't know about that I mean you have Valkriss and Ilya, and Jill, and Gale, and the
Captain, and Nadine, and like a whole bunch of other women."

[12:17] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You're already pretty close. Your body's endurance is almost as impressive as its
aesthetic."

[12:17] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I've not met some of those... and the only one I've seen so far who can more or less match up
to you is the Captain."

[12:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He chuckled.*  "Do you not have mirrors installed in your quarters, Aria?"

[12:18] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he grinned at that.*  "Careful, you might just stroke my ego again."

[12:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah, I may need to return the favor for the tie and go and hang up one or two in there."

[12:18] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Im just me." *shrugs and blushes then looks at T'Ghor and smirks* "Oh so thats how you got the
chief science officer spot huh?"

[12:19] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor laughs heartily.* "Whatever would you mean? I am sure it is quite illogical to pick
out the chief science based on that."

[12:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She laughed softly, leaning in for a quick kiss to Li's cheek between their
dancing.*

[12:19] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I live to make you feel good." *He smirks, the obvious implication hanging in the air.*

[12:20] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *chuckles then puts down her spoon and walks to the dance floor and dances by herself as she waits
for Kol and T'Ghor to join her*

[12:20] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Considering the past few weeks, I'm inclined to believe that."

[12:20] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He wolfed down the rest of his carrot cake and headed after Aria.*

[12:20] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs happily.*

[12:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor follows the Orion, starting to dance with her.*

[12:20] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li laughs happily.*

[12:21] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] I'm not sure I would be able to control them anyway.

[12:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He fell into the dance as well, his movements surprisingly well-coreographed.  Then
again, he -was- a betazoid.*

[12:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She playfully booped Li on the nose as they spun around to the upbeat tune.*

[12:22] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor has imrpoved considerably since he danced with Aria on the station... or maybe he is
just more relaxed and doesn't give a damn, happy to see the Orion having fun.*

[12:23] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *eitehr doesnt seem to notice or care that Jill and Li are dancing nearby*

[12:24] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Doesn't matter, they're never gonna exist."

[12:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Got any song in particular you want to hear? I could always go and request..." *He grins.*

[12:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Have you been practicing?"

[12:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Wonder if they have any Betazed pop..."

[12:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Not really. Guess I am just more relaxed, now that we aren't on the base."

[12:24] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shakes her head* "I'm not really picky."

[12:25] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Betazed pop... Not even heard that."

[12:25] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris finishes the last of his dinner.*

[12:25] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Don't worry im sure we will return to the starbase soon to drop off our passenger."

[12:25] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I don't like stations... to many people, most of them annoying."

[12:26] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he was taking his time, giving Serris a curious look.*

[12:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sooner we're back out on the frontier, the better, far as I'm concerned."

[12:27] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Agrees you think we are going back to the expanse or some unexplored part of the milky way?"

[12:27] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Totally agreed. Eager to do some work here..." *T'Ghor shrugs.* "I don't much care, so long
as there's something to discover."

[12:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Back to the LMC, I bet, all those people from the Argentina are still out there."

[12:28] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Yeah its nice when we are actually doing our job and not playing discount warship."

[12:28] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Okay, now I have to admit, my bag of tricks has run out and I have absolutely no idea what
you want right now." *He laughs.*

[12:28] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Have we even gotten any leads on where to start with them?"

[12:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I hope we do. I promised Valais."

[12:29] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *he laughed.*  "Maybe to finish my food, and see where that goes?"  *He chuckled and
scraped the bowl clean.*

[12:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I couldn't say, you'd know more than me, Aria."

[12:30] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "if it goes on much longer we might have to try something risky to get back on track."

[12:30] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, it's just that I would have expected you'd finished by now."

[12:30] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If the risk means finding them, I am prepared to take it. I -must- free them, then I can die
for all I care."

[12:30] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "And what do you know, I have," *he motioned to the bowl.*

[12:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He looked at T'Ghor with a furrowed brow.*

[12:31] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "We could implant some volunteers with faint subspace white noise generators operating on a band
where its not obvious let them get taken and have pilly follow with the stealth system up.

[12:31] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris takes both trays and feeds them both into the recycler.*

[12:32] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hm. I could volunteer for that."

[12:32] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You want anything for dessert?"

[12:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Of course I'd help any way I can."

[12:33] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Don't sacrifice yourself so quickly thats just a quick and dirty plan I thought up. We can run it
by the Captain maybe if thats what we get assigned to."

[12:33] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li stops, heading back over to the couch to take a break.*

[12:33] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li stops, heading back over to the couch to take a break.*

[12:34] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] I was joking.

[12:34] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Honestly though I think you would be a bad canidate. You are big and... imposing they might
scrutinize you more or try that mind wipe thingy before getting to base."

[12:34] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He peered at Serris for a moment, considering something before he shook his head.*
"Nah... think it might be time to call it a night," *he chuckled.*  "Thank you though, Serris."

[12:35] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor furrows his brow.* "True... then I guess I can try to make something... small. Some
personal item they won't be able to detect, that the prisoners could use to transport back to the Pilgrim, >

[12:35] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris walks over and pulls Amanar's chair out for him.*

[12:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She went with Li, predictably.*

[12:35] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Any time."

[12:36] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If things get too hot... if I manage to make a small tooth implant that can be used as an
instant transporter beacon, and doesn't get detected, would you help to manufacture it?"

[12:36] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Oooh like a nano scale brute force terminal hacking device?

[12:36] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Woah..."  *He chuckled in surprise as the chair was pulled back with him on top of
it.*  "I'll see you tomorrow, then?"

[12:36] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oooh. And that too. Smart thinking."

[12:37] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Hijack their system and use it to beam you out."

[12:37] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She fixed him with a look.*

[12:37] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Whatcha gonna do about it, huh? *He smirked.*

[12:37] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, this is the last day before we go back to normal duty schedules. Now that I'm
assistant chief, I have to watch over beta shift."

[12:38] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "True. That would eliminate the risk of detecting the faint signal the transporter beacon
would emit, if I made a beacon.. a hacking device is the better idea."

[12:38] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Could always beat you for this insolence..."  *A slight smirk touched her lips.*

[12:38] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Might be hard to schedule time together if you're on alpha shift."

[12:38] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Especially if we have a tracking device going as well more em radiation equals more chance of
getting caught red handed.

[12:39] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Oh... well, when we're both off, then?  Gamma's always open."

[12:39] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I have to spend eight hours a day in high gravity or my bone density will start to decay."

[12:39] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "One of those lovely interspecies relations difficulties."

[12:39] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Oh."  *A long pause.*  "I honestly have no idea, then."

[12:40] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah. Better make risks as that as small as possible... If the Captain approves, I'll start
work on minimizing the system, and getting it as undetectable as possible. Once i got the blueprints, we >

[12:40] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Can work on them down in engineering."

[12:40] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I could try and train my body for a new sleep schedule, sleep through alpha shift in high-G
and then I'd be awake for gamma."

[12:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Is this a new brainstorming technique?"  *He smirked.*

[12:41] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Might take a few days, though."

[12:41] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Well, we'll make it work, then."  *He got up and headed for the door.*

[12:41] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li hugs Jill.*

[12:41] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It's pleasant." *He grins, going to spin Aria a bit.*

[12:41] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Hey."

[12:41] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li hugs Jill.*

[12:42] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] I'd like to see you try. *He grins.*

[12:42] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "Hm?"

[12:42] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris stops Amanar with a gentle tug of the forearm.*

[12:42] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She laid her cheek on Li's shoulder, hugging him lovingly on the couch.*

[12:43] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "All the times I've done it before haven't taught you?"

[12:43] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks confused at first then lets him try to spin her* "Yeah engineering the dance edition."
*chuckles*

[12:43] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He turned to look down at the blueberry.*

[12:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Should try it sometime on shift, sure that'd be the day the Captain decided to come
for a surprise inspection, too.":

[12:44] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris looks up at him sheepishly.* "Maybe this is a touch too sentimental for 'just
friends,' but... it's gonna suck not seeing you for a few days." *He hugs Amanar.*

[12:45] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Yes while everyone in engineering dances and we use the warp core for a light show." *chuckles*

[12:45] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We would just make her join in too." *He chuckles, letting go of aria after the spin.* "She'd
melt eventually."

[12:45] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And I got Serris, the engineering vs science dance-off is a sure victory for me." *He grins.*

[12:45] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He blinked in surprise, but bent a little to return the hug, patting Serris on the
back.*  "You can always reach me through text?"

[12:45] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] I'm prepared this time.

[12:46] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Bullshit."

[12:46] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Oh yeah." *chuckles* "Oh um I just thought of something. There might be a little awkward um gap
on our timeline to work on these ideas. I uh... I have some medical leave coming up."

[12:47] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Whatever you say.

[12:47] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I know, but I like spending time with you." *He chuckles.* "Guess I'll have to live with it
until we figure this shift rotation thing out."

[12:48] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  "We will, just will need time to.  Good night, Serris."  *he smiled.*

[12:48] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh? Everything with you alright?" *He seems slightly concerned.*

[12:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *he watched her curiously.*

[12:48] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "That's right."

[12:48] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks across the room at that.*

[12:49] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Dal playfully rolls his eyes.*

[12:49] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Yeah yeah." *looks like its something she doesnt want to elaborate on* "I mean I'll be on board
still just not uh working for a few days."

[12:49] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Good night, Amanar."

[12:49] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *Jill looked up at Li curiously.*  "Something wrong?"

[12:49] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He lets him go.*

[12:49] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Amanar]  *He pat Serris on the shoulder, then headed out for his quarters.*

[12:49] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li shakes his head.* I'm fine.

[12:50] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That's okay, then. We'll still be able to see each other from time to time for a coffee and
some quick updates, if you're up for it... Or maybe some dance brainstorming." *He grins.*

[12:50] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She chucked her PADD at Dal with that.*

[12:50] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris lets his smile linger for a moment as he watches Amanar leave, then falter to a
blank, determined expression as he goes back to his desk and looks over the data of his quantum entanglement -

[12:50] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - theory.*

[12:50] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *It hits Dal's face and he goes down like a rock.*

[12:51] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She laughed heartily at that.*  "Shit, you okay?"

[12:51] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *An unintelliglble groan is heard.*

[12:51] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "...Yeah um not on those days but yeah. I mean we have coms." *chuckles nerviously*

[12:51] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "You can still make noises, you're fine."

[12:52] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] ....that...fucking...hurt...

[12:52] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *dances in a circle shaking her booty as an excuse to look for cameras hoping none are catching
said conversation*

[12:52] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Whatever you say, Aria." *He nods. She probably notices he knows something is off, but
decides to respect her privacy.*

[12:52] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Don't be a baby.  Didn't you just say you were prepared?"

[12:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *One camera drone in particular seems very interested in Aria's shaking booty.*

[12:54] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *figures the camera is a newcomer and doesnt seem to mind simply happy it probably didnt broadcast
her earlier words*

[12:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...Shoo."  *He waved the drone off.*

[12:54] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Owwww....not a PADD...at my head....

[12:54] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris ponders on something, running a quick simulation.*

[12:54] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor notices that and chuckles.* "If you mind it, Aria... do tell me, I can do something to
get it away."

[12:55] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shrugs* "As long it doesnt go below skirt level and look up I don't really care."

[12:56] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Well now you're prepared for next time."

[12:56] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Then it's leaving itself open for me to stomp it down... it would be at a very serious
tactical disadvantage."

[12:56] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks over and sees the time on a clock somewhere since im sure there would be one in a
functional mess hall*

[12:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was indeed a clock!  It was almost one in the morning!*

[12:57] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Its pretty late I should get going. Thanks T'Ghor. THanks Kol for the wonderful evening."

[12:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He chuckled.*  "You can call me Zandris when we're not on duty, you know."

[12:57] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor smiles at her.* "Good night, SuD chal."

[12:58] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Zandris it is then.

[12:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He grinned at Aria.*  "Great.  Have a good night, Aria."

[12:58] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Dal crawls back up on th ebed.*

[12:58] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She looked over at him.*  "Don't bleed on the nice new sheets!"

[12:59] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] You hit me with it!

[1:00] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "That doesn't mean you have to get the bed all gross, we just got this thing!"

[1:00] [DOIC1] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: "Night.!"

[1:00] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor watches her leave and continues dancing afterwards.*

[1:00] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] You can replicate...

[1:01] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He doesn't have much luck, grimacing.* "Computer, restore gravity."

[1:01] [DOIC2] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *His ponytail and the plants sag as he continues through the night until he falls asleep.*

[1:01] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Or you could not bleed on my sheets!"

[1:03] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Not even bleeding...yet...

[1:03] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li stands up and offers Jill his hand.*

[1:03] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She squinted, looking at the beta-zoid carefully.*

[1:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She took Li's hand curiously as she rose.*

[1:03] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *There was a big bruise on his head but no visible blood.*

[1:04] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li leads her out of the mess hall.*

[1:04] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Eh... I guess you'll be fine.  But no crying on the sheets, either."

[1:04] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Who said anything about crying?

[1:04] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She gave him another look.*

[1:04] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] What?

[1:05] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She linked her fingers with Li's as they walked back to their quarters.*

[1:05] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Just making sure..."

[1:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She grinned and waved to T'Ghor as she tore up the dancefloor.*

[1:06] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] When I have I ever done that?

[1:06] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor grinned and moved closer to her.* "Look at you, ops, you can almost keep up with me..."

[1:06] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Can't fool me, I've seen you get close a time or two."

[1:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I was about to say the same thing to you!"

[1:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Confident... for someone who was afraid of a little vulcan beauty."

[1:08] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Are you not afraid of the big klingon outdancing you?" *He grins.*

[1:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Afraid?  Who said anything about that?"

[1:08] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You seemed quite convinced she'd bite your head off."

[1:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Ever occur to you that maybe I was setting you up for something?"  *She chuckled.*

[1:09] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] Close but no cigar.

[1:10] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran] "Close enough..." *She smirked.*

[1:10] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, I don't know... you continued to hesitate even after I made a fool out of myself asking
her about it." *He chuckles as well.*

[1:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "You mean when you suggested I seduce her instead?  Maybe she's just not my type..."

[1:11] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh? Pouty vulcans aren't your type? Such a surprise."

[1:11] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Dal rolls his eyes again.*

[1:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Seem to be yours, though.  Or is that shy Orions, instead?"

[1:13] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She yawned and flopped back into the bed.*  "Well, whatever you do, show's over so
I'm going the fuck to bed."

[1:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Asking a vulcan about her pon farr isn't really a sign of interest." *He laughs at the idea.*
"And Shy orions... who knows. Never really considered it."

[1:14] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Dal crawls over on top of her.* Boring.

[1:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Never considered it?  Seriously?"

[1:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes? Should I have?"

[1:14] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  *She smirked up at him, then grabbed Dal and went to flip him over to pin him against
the bed.*  "I don't do boring."

[1:15] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: [Grax] That's more like it.

[1:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Umm, she's gorgeous and you two obviously get along."

[1:16] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Aloran]  "Good to see you approve..."  *The rest of this scene is only available on the
unrated director's cut blu-ray.*

[1:16] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I do not think she's interested. And I don't know if it's the right time for me to do anything
like that... I saw a counselor, he told me finding a new mate might help my anger, but... I don't know."

[1:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She shrugged her shoulders.*  "Well, got plenty of time you'll be spending on the
same ship with her."

[1:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor shrugs.* "I will not try to force anything."

[1:19] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well duhh.  Gotta just let it happen, and it looks like that's just what's happening
from how into it you two were getting with that dance-conversation I saw you having."

[1:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We were?" *He shrugs.* "Guess we'll see... and you? What's your type? Just please, don't say
"Rhys."

[1:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Eww.  Don't be gross.  I dunno, I just like fun loving people."

[1:23] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: 'Makes sense... Actually... will all these cameras be on the bridge with us?"

[1:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I... don't know?"

[1:23] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Weren't you aboard for the previous seasons?"

[1:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] "Well this last one, but Boyd was pretty subtle.  This new guy... I dunno."

[1:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "He seems sleazy and punchable... do our contracts include a "Violence against the host"
clause?" *He says quietly, making sure no cameras are around.*

[1:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I'm not sure..."  *She squinted.*  "I should get going though, see you on the
bridge?"

[1:27] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Good night." *He nods at her and smiles. Before he himself heads out, he makes sure to take a
lot of Gagh to his quarters.*

[1:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The entire bowl was his for the taking.*

[1:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Chef, can I get the whole bowl? You can have it back later!" *He grins.*

[1:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Koros] "Fine!"

[1:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Thank you!" *T'Ghor leaves, a huge smile on his face, to engage in some culinary depravities.*
