Pilgrim 2/13

[8:50] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The STAR TREK:  PILGRIM theme begins... **

[8:51] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The episode opens on a shot of the Pilgrim and Argentina at high warp, coasting through the dark of space as the stars streak past them at breakneck speeds.  The camera shows the interior of the...

[8:52] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: Pilgrim then, coasting through hallways of a ship in the beginning of Alpha watch as people go to take their stations.  Once it hits the bridge, it zoome in on T'Pang and pans around as she begins...

[8:52] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: her log... **

[8:52] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's Log, Stardate 95142.10, We are in route to the last known encounter with a Scyrthi vessel. Our current plan is to try and develop some method of tracking them. If we are successful we may

[8:53] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: be able to track them back to thier base of operations. From there we can either attempt negotiations or attempt a rescue operation. So far our travel has been uneventful. The crew is finishing

[8:54] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: preparations for our next encounter with the Scyrithi. With our increased knowledge and our transport inhibitor technology I am confident our next encounter wil go better than previous ones. End log.

[8:55] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she puts the log recorder away and leans back in her chair.--

[8:55] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris has returned from the science lab and is conducting long range scans on the bridge, looking for signs of tetryons, high-wake subspace distortion, and gravitational waves consistent with a -

[8:55] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - high-mass object generating a warp field.*

[8:57] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is in his quarter, relaxing on the couch.*

[8:57] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris scowls, keeping the sensors active as he looks at the short-range scans for any signs of Scrythi.*

[8:58] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *Double-checks the ship's weapons and defenses, then looks over the last drill results*

[8:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She tapped cheerfully on her console, pausing momentarily.*

[8:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] =/\= "Lieutenant Gayle to Lieutenant Zorin?"

[8:59] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Pilots the ship*

[9:00] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *beep boops reading up on the shift details and checking the work logs of Li, and Jills teams in installing the integrated transport inhibitors*

[9:00] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar] =/\= "Sar to Lieutenant Deati."

[9:01] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Deati here, go ahead.

[9:02] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar] =/\= "Confirming that the Scyrthi Arandak Tirrhe remains in his assigned quarters under guard, ma'am.  He still has not made any requests of us."

[9:02] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= This is Zorin.

[9:03] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Glad to hear it. Let me know if the situation changes.

[9:03] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] =/\= "We're getting another subspace message from Earth... from Doctor Marigold Dower again.  Did you want to take it this time?"

[9:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  *The Bolian was at the console near Aria's usually occupied by Jill, shooting Aria an occasional beaming smile.*

[9:05] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shoots back a friendly smile while swapping between various reports*

[9:05] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar] =/\= "Understood, ma'am.  We will keep you apprised."

[9:06] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Yes please.

[9:06] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *Jill was still in bed in the next room, blissfully unaware as she slumbered.*

[9:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Transmitting it to the console in your quarters... good luck."  *She chuckled softly.*

[9:08] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *glances over toward the operations alcove* Family issues, I'm guessing?

[9:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She closed the com and stretched a bit, looking around the silent bridge.*  "Well, the lady had the same last name as Zorin's new girl, so... I'm guessing."

[9:08] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang takes a seat and tries to do some meditation while she waits.--

[9:08] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks into the other room.* Wakey wakey.

[9:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "And this is the second time in two days she's called, so she must have -something- on her mind."

[9:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *grits her teeth and holds in whatever comment she wishes to add to it, focusing on flying*

[9:10] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well, if she's watched the show, I'm sure she's heard the news and probably isn't too happy about it."

[9:10] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Mmh... five more minutes..." *she murmured, pulling the covers up over her head.*

[9:10] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Nope...there's a Doctor Marigold waiting for you.

[9:11] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She paused, pulling the blankets back down.*  "You answered the call..?"

[9:11] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: At least she's not coming to visit.

[9:11] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I don't even want to entertain the idea of my parents being on this ship."

[9:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] "Yikes, I hope -my- parents never come to visit.  Awkward..."

[9:11] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: I knew this one family, the daughter was a counselor on a starship, and her mom used to go visit like all the time. Caused sooo many problems.

[9:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I hope my parents come to visit me one day..."

[9:11] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris glances back at Gayle and then back to the science station.*

[9:12] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I told them to forward it here.

[9:12] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Oh, yeah?  Dish," *she smiled at Milla.*

[9:12] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --does some breathing exercises as she closes her eyes, concentrates on ordering her thoughts in a logical manner.--

[9:12] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris idly taps on the science station, half-paying attention to the conversation and half-paying attention to the scans for Scrythi ships.*

[9:13] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Yeah, 'course they couldn't do anything about it, because the mom was an ambassador.  You know, "daughter of the fifth house" and all that important stuff.

[9:13] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "I just wanted to say... that transporter inhibitor design of yours?  Freaking brilliant!  I can't wait until I'm able to make stuff like that, you know?"

[9:14] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She gave a little sigh as she went to sit up, combing her hair out with her fingertips.*  "I guess it was inevitable...  But she only wanted to talk to you, didn't she?"

[9:15] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yean but...I figured you should hear it.

[9:15] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I haven't seen my parents since my Academy graduation two years ago.'

[9:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Really?  Not even a call?"

[9:15] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We... don't talk much."

[9:15] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris' ears droop a bit, but he continues tapping at his console.*

[9:16] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles* Thanks. You just have to think of the problem and then ways to counter it and pick the most feasable. I'm sure you'd do great if you were put in the same situation.

[9:16] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *quietly* At least your parents are still alive.

[9:16] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She sighed.*  "Six years, almost, and now she doesn't call me... but -you.-  I still can't believe her..."  *She started getting up.*

[9:16] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Last time I meet my bastards where over three years ago now"

[9:17] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I know.

[9:17] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Um... well, I'm not so sure about that.  I'm still getting over how... -overwhelming- it is to be on this ship in the first place.  I watched so much of the show in the Academy, when I was..

[9:17] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: assigned here I thought my head was going to explode..."

[9:18] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: your bastards?

[9:18] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Didn't a few Cardassians with your last name just get arrested after that coup attempt on the Detapa Council last month?"

[9:18] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang is totally in the zone meditation wise.--

[9:18] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He looks over at Ilya.*

[9:18] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The secrets of the universe are open to her.  Or maybe that's just gas.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "My parents indeed get around to do the bloody briliant shit in the galaxy... "

[9:19] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris raises his eyebrows and then turns back to the science station without another word.*

[9:19] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She frowned.*  "Sorry.  Don't mind me, I just... let's see what she wants, I guess.  I probably shouldn't be in frame, though, if she just wants to talk to you."

[9:20] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yeah.

[9:20] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li goes over to sit down at his desk.*

[9:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Wait... your parents were part of a coup?!"

[9:22] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She took a seat on the couch across the room, gathering up her knees to her chest as she watched Li.*

[9:22] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Yes. Is that not the bloody shit all children dream of their parents doing. Making the mbloody proud and all?"

[9:22] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li activates the console.*

[9:22] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The screen came alive with the image of an older human woman; he would recognise her instantly from the pictures in the holographic house Jill had shown him, though she was far older now.  Her...

[9:23] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tries to think of a way to quickly defuse the line of conversation he just started.*

[9:23] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: blonde hair was streaked with silver, and there were bags under her grey eyes.  Her lips pursed slightly as she saw Li.*  "Zorin Li... I presume."

[9:23] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'Pang's eye snap open, she then stands up and stretches and straightens out her uniform before heading to the bridge.--

[9:23] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Just not part of it. Some of the highest leaders of the bloody thing... Why go small when you lose your marbles"

[9:24] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yes ma'am.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *coughs quietly* Speaking of being proud, I noti-- Captain on the bridge.

[9:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "report?"

[9:24] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris bolts upright and stands at attention.*

[9:24] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Still on course, nothing new to report.

[9:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She nodded.*  "Captain.  We're about half an hour out from the last known location of the Scyrthi vessel."

[9:24] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Still no sign of the Scrythi on sensors, ma'am."

[9:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "at ease mister Zital."

[9:24] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Fourty two minutes to destination, Ma'am"

[9:25] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris stands down from DEFCON 1 and sits back down, sighing with relief.*

[9:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She nodded at Ilya.*  "What she said."

[9:25] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marigold]  "Well, let's not waste time.  I've heard of your involvement with my daughter from my colleagues," *she said coolly.*

[9:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *blushes at the show comment* Well you have to remember it is edited in a way to make it more um dramatic than it really is we are just a normal ship after all

[9:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm, ETA to the target location?"

[9:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She blinked.*  "Uh..."

[9:26] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* That is correct, ma'am.

[9:26] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *glances between T'pang and helm, also confused*

[9:26] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Ma'am... Are you well?"

[9:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: ((sorry I missed your update. only saw it after I typed my order.))

[9:29] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marigold]  *She gave him a flat look through the screen.*  "I'll level with you... Bajoran.  My daughter is a fragile girl.  She's always had issues with... making friends, or really any sort of...

[9:29] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *shifts awkwardly in the silence*

[9:30] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: social interaction at all.  Naturally, anyone who would choose to show her the least amount of affection would instantly be able to take advantage of the situation... you are following me?"

[9:31] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Have we made any progress on a way to track the Scyrithi ships?"

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She cleared her throat.*  "So, um... what were you saying, Lieutenant Deati?"

[9:32] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I haven't been able to detect any signs of them yet, Captain."

[9:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "The Argentina also reports nothing yet, but we are still en route."

[9:32] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm going over our sensor readings from that time we observed them jumping to warp, looking for specific indicators I might be able to find."

[9:32] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I am.

[9:32] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris analyzes those readings again.*

[9:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to Serris-- "That is not wholly unexpected at this range. How confident are you that  you will be able to track them effectively?"

[9:33] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "Well, yes, but they surely don't edit the results!  And you certainly can't argue with them!"

[9:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Considering the distance, its no bloody miracle we read jack"

[9:33] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *glances at Gayle and shakes her head silently*

[9:33] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *Her jaw clenched as she listened.*

[9:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marigold]  "Good.  Then listen to me carefully.  Whatever game you think you're playing with Jillian, it ends.  Now.  Move on to whoever it was you were going to inevitably cheat on her with and...

[9:35] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: leave her in peace.  I am fully capable of making life very difficult for you, Zorin Li, and I won't hesitate to do it if you insist on continuing.  Do I make myself clear?"

[9:35] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li glances up at Jill.*

[9:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Jill looked back at him, her eyes shimmering and her face turning red.*

[9:36] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If I can find unique identifiers in their subspace wake displacement or ion trails, sure."

[9:36] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li then glanecs back at the screen.* No.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I could try scanning for their hull alloy composition, but that's easy enough to mask with thoron fields."

[9:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marigold]  "Excuse me?"

[9:37] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: That is my answer.

[9:37] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: I guess we have been pretty lucky a few times. *smiles*

[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "When we arrive on site, we will try and give you what ever you need to make that happen."

[9:37] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Assuming they're aware of thoron fields.

[9:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "True.  We're in a whole new playground, after all."

[9:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "They might not have the same kind of toys we're used to."

[9:38] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Considering their history prior to the Dark nearly wiping them out, I'd be surprised if they didn't... at least in the past."

[9:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Make sure you leave no stone unturned Mister Zital. figuratively speaking that is."

[9:38] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marigold]  *Her face twisted in anger.*  "Perhaps I haven't made myself clear..."

[9:38] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No pressure."

[9:38] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "They seem bloody superior to us technology wise in next to everything. Would be dodgy if there was a gap on that particular point"

[9:38] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You made yourself very clear.

[9:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marigold]  "You have no idea what you're starting with me, young man..."

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I is not my intention to place any excessive amount of pressure on your. But, this task is of critical importance and lives depend on it. So it is what it is. I have confidence in your ability to

[9:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: adapt and succeed at this task."

[9:40] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Besides, you've got a whole team to help you with it.

[9:40] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I didn't start anything. It was you who reached out to me.

[9:40] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Almost makes one miss Kurot..."

[9:40] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She got to her feet, her face entirely red now as she strode over to stand behind the console.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: You miss carrots?

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Deati is correct, you have plenty of support. You may call on any crewmembers you need to complete your task."

[9:41] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Marigold]  "I'm not the one taking advantage of a sweet young girl who doesn't know any better!"  *she snapped.*  "MY Jillian would have NEVER done what you've convinced her to do!  You're a...

[9:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: menace, a terrible influence and a wretched excuse for a person and I will NOT stand for this!"

[9:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "dead right. Carrots... Never know when you need your bloody vitamin C"

[9:42] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Perhaps you shoud let your daughter speak and decide for herself?

[9:43] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Why would I want my vitamins injured? Is there something wrong with them?

[9:43] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm going to head down to the science lab."

[9:43] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris signs out of the console and gets up.*

[9:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She stepped into the frame with that.*  "You..."  *She sucked in a breath.*  "Lost any right to decide how I'm supposed to live my life when you exited it!"  *She slammed the button to...

[9:43] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: turn the console off, turned, and walked off, breathing hard.*

[9:44] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "With your permission, uh, Captain."

[9:44] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well...that couldn't have been worse.

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Certaily Mister Zital."

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We'll let you know if anything interesting happens."

[9:44] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Maybe

[9:44] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Injured vitamins are you taking the piss Deati?"

[9:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She giggled and looked at Milla.*  "Going to hoard it all, Lieutenant?"

[9:45] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris nods to T'Pang and then scurries off at blueberry speed.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *shrugs at Ilya* Not currently. I would at least excuse myself from the bridge first.

[9:45] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She trembled for a few moments before she raised her hands to her face and began to weep.*

[9:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she watches Serris leave, a faint hint of concern flashes across her face.--

[9:46] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks over to console her.*

[9:46] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Appriciated."

[9:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She glanced at T'Pang.*  "Something wrong, Captain?"

[9:46] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: I am still confused why your vitamins are covered in blood.

[9:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She buried her face in Li's shoulder, staining his shirt with her tears.*

[9:47] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Deck 11." *Serris leans against the back wall of the turbolift.*

[9:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Kurot was our chief science officer. She is on a different asignment now"

[9:48] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Your chief science officer was an earth vegetable?

[9:48] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *glances at Gayle with a mischevious grin*

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "K-U-R OT Not Ca-rr-ot""

[9:48] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Oh, I see. And she covered her vitamins in blood?

[9:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "She sure was stupid as a bloody carrot at times"

[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "A few times?"  *He laughed.*  "You're so modest...  You know, I used to have a full collection of the Pilgrim action figure set."

[9:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "But she was the science officer?"  *She tilted her head.*

[9:51] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Aren't they supposed to be smart?

[9:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "That's what I'm saying!"

[9:52] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'm sorry.

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "bloody lot of doodles that supposedly should be that in reality aint on this ship"

[9:53] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: I'm sorry, I didn't understand a word of that. Is the universal translator malfunctioning?

[9:53] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I think that's just her dialect."

[9:54] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris steps out of the turbolift and collects himself, walking towards the science lab.*

[9:54] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She shook her head.*  "Sh-she's... always been like that... trying to control everyone else around her..."

[9:55] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Perhaps its the operations officers of this ship that has their marbles where they are supposed to on this ship. Would explain a few things"

[9:55] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *As he walks, he tries to center himself more and use the positive vibes from that one Betazoid in engineering as motivation.*

[9:55] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: And she gets angry at someone she can't control.

[9:56] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *just looks at Gayle and shrugs*

[9:56] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "...So now there's a trill chasing a klingon chasing a trill down the beach, knocking people over, getting--- Oh!  Hey, Serris!"  *The human waved as the Blueberry stepped into the lab.*

[9:57] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris takes a deep breath and sighs, clapping his hands.* "Alright, I know some of you are probably working on surveys or pet projects, but I need all hands on deck."

[9:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Uh, thank you, Ilya?"  *She looked curiously at the Cardassian.*

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Resumes focusing on watching the autopilot keep the warp course* "What?"

[9:58] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The science officers got up from their seats to give Serris their undivided attention.*

[9:58] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Yes, sir!"

[9:58] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "What would you have us do, Lieutenant?"

[9:59] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I need a full metallurgical analysis of the Scyrthi hull construction and a subspace wake waveform pattern from the readings we've been able to take from their warp drive."

[9:59] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She nodded.*  "I just hope it was a... an empty threat..."

[9:59] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Well... I'm an Ops officer."

[9:59] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If that's outside of your areas of expertise, try looking for any unique life sign identifiers or their exhaust composition."

[9:59] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We need to be able to track these ships down at the drop of a hat, understood?"

[10:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to Engineering.=/\=

[10:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "You don't say..."

[10:00] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He nodded.*  "Understood!  I'll go get the metallurgical analysis started!"

[10:00] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'll get through it.

[10:01] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "He does love his rocks and metals.  I'll see what I can do about their life signs."

[10:02] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "I will assist as I can with the waveform patterns, I have rudimentary training in that field."

[10:02] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Keep everything logged in a collaborative database under lab station C-14. All of my work on identifying their warp signature can be accessed there, I'll remote in from the bridge and help where I -

[10:02] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - can."

[10:03] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She sighed and nodded.*  "I know... but crap.  We probably need to get moving, we've probably already burned through our extra time off."

[10:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I was just... oh, never mind..."  *She looked down at her console as it began to beep noisily.*

[10:04] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* I'll get dressed.

[10:04] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Once you've finalized your findings, apply the profiles to our long-range sensors and begin scans."

[10:04] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Contact me if you have any major findings."

[10:04] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris nods to the team and watches them get to work.*

[10:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He glanced at Aria.*  "I think the bridge is trying to contact you."

[10:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to Engineering.=/\=

[10:05] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *she nodded and hurried off to grab a quick shower.*

[10:05] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Satisfied, he heads back to the turbolift.*

[10:06] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Feeling a bit better, his stride exudes more confidence... sort of.*

[10:06] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Deck 1."

[10:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain?  We're receiving what appears to be a distress call from just beyond our point of arrival.  Unknown origin, the UT is still working on it."

[10:06] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *The Blueberry scurries from the turbolift over to the science station.*

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "understood, can you get coordinates?"

[10:07] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Signing on, he brings up the active scan readouts and the collaborative database.*

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Working on it... Lieutenant Zital, can you pick up anything in that area?"

[10:07] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Engineering

[10:07] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li exits once dressed and heads to the turbolift.*

[10:08] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Give helm a bearing." --she says then turns to helm-- "Helm take us in the general direction of the signal so we can get a better look"

[10:09] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Small craft bearing 47-mark-101, current speed approximately 56 kilometers per hour. It appears to be adrift."

[10:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Sending it to helm now," *she said, forwarding it to Ilya.*

[10:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Aye ma'am. We can increase speed, should such be nessesary"

[10:09] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Adjusts course*

[10:10] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It doesn't appear to be Scyrthi in origin."

[10:10] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Time to intercept... 51 seconds."

[10:10] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Engineering is still on the comm. Did you still need to speak with them, Captain?

[10:10] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We don't want to get there too quick I would like to check them out a little before we make our presence known. it could be a trap."

[10:10] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Should we alert the Argentina?"

[10:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she groans a little-- "Tell engineering I will get back to them."

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She frowned as she tapped on her console.*  "Argentina has been alerted of our change in course.  UT's still having difficulties, but we're making progress."

[10:11] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Very well. Course set, Maintaining speed, Ma'am"

[10:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Advise the ARgentina that we are moving to investigate a distress call."

[10:11] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Okay... *shrugs and shifts the call to her station* =^= Engineering, standby.

[10:11] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No changes in readings. I'll attempt to clear up sensor resolution."

[10:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "On it, Captain."

[10:12] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Given the unknown variable here, I recommend we go to yellow alert.

[10:12] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *shugs* =^= Okie dokie.

[10:12] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris' fingers fly over the console like a blue blur, trying to get a sharper image of what's ahead.*

[10:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods slowly-- "A logical precaution, go to yellow alert."

[10:12] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Aye.  *triggers yellow alert*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "We will arive in thirty seconds ma'am."

[10:13] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She hurried after Li, putting on her best face as they got to Engineering.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Understood, has the translator made any progress on that message?"

[10:14] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "All hands, yellow alert."  *The lighting changed on the ship accordingly.*

[10:14] [DOIC5] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yellow alert?

[10:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yellow alert?

[10:14] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I have something... might be a little choppy, but it should give us the general idea."

[10:14] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris also tries to scan the area immediately around the distressed craft for any signs of cloaked vessels.*

[10:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Acknowledged."

[10:15] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Twenty seconds"

[10:16] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *checks to ensure that the shields are raised and weapons are on ready-standby like they should be*

[10:16] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The vessel appears to have hull damage, but I can't identify any weapons signatures at this range. No life signs aboard."

[10:16] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Putting the message on..."

[10:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Perhaps it is an automated signal."

[10:17] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Droping out of warp in 5..." *Does a monotone countdown and drops the ship out of warp as it hits the destination*

[10:17] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No signs of cloaked ships in the area."

[10:19] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A calm male voice could be heard over the bridge coms.*  "This is Karthan to any vessel in range.  The Lady Belir and her follower taken by Scyrthi.  Believed deceit by Supreme Pontiff.  Requesting..

[10:19] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Standard approach vector."

[10:19] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: aid."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris has a weird feeling and begins scanning the small craft for signs of holographic activity.*

[10:20] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Aye ma'am" *aproaches the vessel on an standard aproachvector and procedure for unidentified non communication senario*

[10:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Hail the vessel."

[10:20] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *scans the ship for signs of weaposn fire or other damage*

[10:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Hailing them now, ma'am..."

[10:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We have a response, audio only."

[10:22] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "put it on speaker."

[10:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Gayle flipped the switch.*

[10:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "This is captain T'Pang of the Federation starship Pilgrim, we are responding to your distress call."

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The same male voice from the distress call came on, calm and collected as could be.*  "This is Karthan.  Greetings, Pilgrim.  I am sending the coordinates for the site of my recent attack."

[10:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She looked down at her console then nodded at T'Pang.*  "It's not far from here, ma'am."

[10:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "What is your status Karthan? How can we assist you?"

[10:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Damage sustained was minimal.  However, the Lady Belir who captained me and her crew have all been abducted.  Unfortunately, I was not activated until they were already off-board."

[10:27] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *nods toward T'pang* Confirmed. Only minor damage, localized around the engines.

[10:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I understand. Do you require aid in making repairs?"

[10:27] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris checks the science lab collaboration off to the side for any substantial progress he might be able to apply to his own scan profile.*

[10:27] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *seemed to relax, as if her mind were stretching out beyond the ship, perhaps toward the source of the transmission*

[10:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Is the vessel small enough we could bring it aboard?"

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "I do.  I am but a prototype; I do not possess internal holographic projectors that are necessary for such repairs."

[10:29] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She blinked slowly.*  "Are we... talking to a ship?"  *she whispered.*

[10:31] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: I'm not sensing anyone aboard the ship, so I'd say that's likely.

[10:31] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The vessel is too large to fit through the bay doors."

[10:31] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Acknowledged Karthan, we are going take your vessel in tow. Our engineering team will coordinate with you on making repairs."

[10:32] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The Argentina has a larger flight deck, they might be able to take it aboard."

[10:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm line us up to tractor the vessel."

[10:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Thank you, Captain T'Pang.  My engines suffered some damage; I would not be able to make the trip back to Kirtas without your assistance."

[10:33] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Aye ma'am" *moves the ship about and prepares to tow the talking ship*

[10:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am sure we will be able to get you patched up enough to get where you are headed."

[10:33] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to Engineering=/\=

[10:34] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She looked over at Li with that.*

[10:34] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Engineering here.

[10:34] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "We are in position to tow, Ma'am"

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=We are currently taking a small vessel in tow, it has minor damage to its engines. The vessel appears to be piloted by some sort of AI, you will coordinate with them for the repairs.=/\=

[10:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Understood.

[10:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Engage the tractor beam"

[10:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye, ma'am, engaging."

[10:36] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: I'd like to take a team over and secure the ship before we send any engineers.

[10:36] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *There was a brief external shot of a tractor beam extending outward to tether the little craft to the Pilgrim.*

[10:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm as soon as we have the other ship lay in a course for the attack site. I think that will be our best chance for picking up the trail of the Syrithi."

[10:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Diverting power to the beam.

[10:37] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Alright, Tow secure. What is the structural integrity of the thing?"

[10:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "This attack seems to be much more recent than the one we were chasing, too."

[10:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, so the trail should be easier to track."

[10:38] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Should be good, Ilya, they reported only minimal hull damage and some to the engines.  Though I guess we could always ask..."

[10:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Hail the ARgentina."

[10:39] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Sounds like normal towing speed should be briliant then" *begins aligning the pilgrim for warp to the new cordinates*

[10:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Hailing... onscreen, ma'am."

[10:39] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Course laid in, Ready to engage, ma'am"

[10:39] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "engage."

[10:40] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The screen changed to show the face of Arthur Farring, the Argentina's acting first officer seated in the captain's chair.*  "Evening, Pilgrim.  Seems we've found a new friend?"

[10:41] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Takes the ship to warp, carefully acelerating its speed while keeping an eye on the two*

[10:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Indeed captain. It appears we have a common enemy anyway. We are headed to the coordinates of the attack. Given that it is a far more recent attack we believe it would be our best opportunity to try

[10:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: and track the Scyrithi."

[10:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Not all that thrilled to go onto another seemingly distressed ship..."

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Warp 5.5 and holding, ETA 15 minutes, Ma'am"

[10:42] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *taps out a quick message*

[10:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I wanted to make sure you were aware of the change in plans."

[10:43] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It is part of our duty.

[10:43] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Deati to Sar. Prep a security team and standby to secure the ship we currently have in tow.

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring]  *He nodded.*  "It's a sound plan, Captain.  Is there anything you need us to do in the meantime?"

[10:44] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  =/\= "Acknowledged, Lieutenant.  We'll be on standby in transporter room two."

[10:45] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Yeah... I know,"  *She sighed.*  "Still gives me the creeps after what happened with that first Scyrthi ship.  Hopefully this is more routine."

[10:45] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Very good. Notify me when you're ready.

[10:46] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I don't believe so, just stand by. We will contact you if we make any progress."

[10:46] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  =/\= "I shall.  Sar out."

[10:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It probably is.

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring] "As will we.  Farring out."  *The screen reverted to its usual setting.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she leans back in her chair.--

[10:48] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She offered a meek smile and went to get the kits ready.*

[10:50] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  =/\= "Sar to Deati.  The team has been assembled, we are prepared to go at your order."

[10:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Gayle, consider the mission to scan for a Scyrithi trail to be the top priority and distribute resources accordingly."

[10:51] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Of course, ma'am.  I'll coordinate with Science."  *She nodded at Serris.*

[10:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Zital, coordinate with helm on any search pattern you might need for your scans."

[10:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Ma'am, What are your contingency order if we need to get fancy with evasive actions?"

[10:53] [DOIC4] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Acknowledged. Standby.

[10:53] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris double checks the science division's findings and applies what he can to the active scan parameters.*

[10:53] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  =/\= "Understood."

[10:53] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He then initiates a scan for Scyrthi warp signatures.*

[10:53] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No sign of their warp signature. Either they masked it or they're still within sublight range."

[10:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We are currently at yellow alert, we will scan the area for any possible hostiles before beginning our search. Beyond that we will have to make it up as we go along."

[10:54] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Captain, I have a team standing by to secure the ship we're currently towing.

[10:54] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris scans for any impulse ion trails.*

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "We are five minutes out from the destination"

[10:54] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "take us to red alert."

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "They're probably not still in range, knowing them... so they must have a way of masking their trails."

[10:55] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Still I don't want to take any chances."

[10:56] [DOIC] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Red Alert =^=

[10:56] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Deati, You may send you security team to secure the ship. But, maintain a transporter lock on them at all times."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: Of course. =^= Deati to Sar, you are go.

[10:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Here we go.

[10:57] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Let's keep tactical sensors actively looking for any incoming hostiles."

[10:57] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  =/\= "Understood, beaming over now."

[10:57] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He then moves onto scanning for the science team's hull composition profile.*

[10:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Mister Zital, you can begin doing some science."

[10:58] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *continues actively scanning for incoming hostiles*

[10:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Find us some sort of trail to follow."

[10:59] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She set her teeth.*  "Think they still want us going over if we're at red alert?"

[10:59] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "None of the scan parameters we've hashed out have been able to detect anything yet, Captain."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Beebs the navigation scanners to check for any signs of ship activity aroun*

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Transporter lock on the away team established."

[11:00] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Hold until we are directly called on.

[11:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Keep trying, let's think outside the box here."

[11:02] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *stretches out with her mind*

[11:02] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  =/\= "Initial sweep deems the ship clear of hostiles or any other life forms, ma'am.  Their AI seems most helpful however."

[11:02] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tries something absolutely stupid that no one would ever think to look for by scanning for signs of any active transporter beams.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *... other than theirs.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Acknowledged. Check for signs of a struggle, evidence of what happened before the crew disappeared. Leave the ship's systems to the engineers though.

[11:03] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He looks visibly frustrated.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Although he wonders what the hell's going on over on the Argentina.*

[11:03] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *to T'pang* Initial sweep of the ship is clear of hostiles. They're running a second sweep for evidence now.

[11:04] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar] =/\= "Acknowledged.  The ship's AI has states to us that it was activated with Scyrthi on-board and proceded to transport them into the vacuum of space.  We are verifying now."

[11:04] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tries to scan for tetryon particles that would indicate a high-speed warp jump disrupting subspace.*

[11:04] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *stated ))

[11:05] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Two minutes" *Keeps an eyes on the navsensors*

[11:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Mister Serris what do you think about perhaps scanning local space for warp eddies, or any other distruptions to spacetime caused by warp travel?"

[11:05] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= If you can, find out what happened to the bodies. If they're still alive or at least intact we can recover them.

[11:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I realize it would not be specific, but it would be a place to start."

[11:07] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar] =/\= "Acknowledged, however if they have been thrown into space I find it very unlikely that they survived for long even in their armours suits."

[11:07] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *armoured ))

[11:08] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've managed to find tetryon displacement, we might be able to use that to determine the other ship's warp signature and power profile."

[11:08] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= I'll take whatever you find. Deati out.

[11:08] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods all sage like-- "Excellent work, carry on."

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Should we try and coordinate with the Argentina?  Two sensors are better than one, after all."

[11:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Li Jill prep personal shield generators pattern enhancers and transport inhibitor beacons to take with you and the rest of the reapir team.

[11:09] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: No suprises this time.

[11:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She jumped a little as Aria finally spoke, then nodded rapidly.*  "Uh, yes, will do!"

[11:09] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Signal the Argentina, and have them join us on this little hunt."

[11:09] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Yes ma'am.

[11:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "I'll get them!"  *he exclaimed and happily hurried to the supply closet.*

[11:10] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks into the closet and begins prepping.*

[11:10] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'll patch them into our research database."

[11:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She tapped rapidly on her console, nodding.*

[11:11] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tries to do the mental math himself, estimating the size of the ship relative to its power output needed to cause enough damage to subspace for tetryons to appear.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Ariving at the cordiantes, Droping warp in five" *Does another monotone countdown and drops the ship out of warp, taking up a defensive flying pattern*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We're looking for another ship like the one that attacked the Argentina."

[11:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li emerges with the kits.*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The power profile looks almost identical."

[11:13] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  *He looked at Li awkwardly in the closets, letting him leave first.*

[11:13] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I can't tell whether or not the signature is the same, though."

[11:15] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Pilgrim and Argentina dropped out of warp to what appeared to be a calm and mostly empty system, a small red dwarf burning in the far distance.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Understood. It doesn't need to be the same ship. We just need any ship we can track back to thier base."

[11:15] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *monitors the situation calmly through her console waiting for any updates or orders*

[11:16] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  =/\= "Sar to Deati.  Second sweep has been completed, we've found no evidence of any bodies and the logs confirm what the ship's been telling us."

[11:16] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris scans the area for signs of the Scyrthi.*

[11:17] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Understood. Did you get any coordinates on the logs so we can look for bodies?

[11:18] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm detecting debris, probably from the ship we're towing. The hull fragments might have weapon signatures."

[11:19] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm also detecting eight corpses drifting near the debris."

[11:19] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  =/\= "We did, the coordinates appear to match what we were given already.  We also have coordinates to what appears to be the ship's home system."

[11:19] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *scans the debris for weapons signatures* Scanning now. The bodies might be the Scyrthi my team mentioned.

[11:19] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "All Scyrthi."

[11:19] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Confirmed."

[11:20] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= We just found the bodies. Send me the coordinates, then pick two people to stay aboard and babysit the engineers. Bring the rest back to the ship when you're done.

[11:22] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tries scanning for ion trails and warp signatures again now that they're closer to the original battle site.*

[11:22] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar] =/\= "Acknowledged, transmitting now.  I will have Ensigns Vaanas and Ettore remain aboard."

[11:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Let's see about brining those bodies aboard. i want the medical team to takea  look at them."

[11:23] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Very good. Deati out.

[11:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We'll get to transporting them aboard, ma'am."

[11:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Bridge to Engineering.=/\=

[11:23] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *to T'pang* The weapons signatures have mostly dissipated, but I can confirm they're the same type as what the Scyrthi use. Given the bodies, I think it's safe to say they were the attackers.

[11:24] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Engineering here

[11:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Yes commander, have a small compliment of engineers begin repais on the towed vessel. I would like to get it underway as quickly as possible so we can focus on our primary mission.=/\=

[11:25] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Is it ok if I join them then?

[11:25] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I've got a warp signature and a heading."

[11:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Do what you think you need to to get the ship operational as soon as possible.=/\=

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Wait, really?!"

[11:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Understood engineering out.

[11:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *grabs a toolkit and motions for them to foolow her*

[11:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Really?" --she says sounding more surprised that she really should.--

[11:26] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "210-mark-87. Judging from the tetryon dispersion, I'd estimate a speed of about warp 9.2."

[11:27] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Deck 2.

[11:27] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It looks like it jumped about six hours ago."

[11:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She swallowed, grabbed a kit and hurried after Aria.*

[11:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  *He practically bounced after them with the transporter jammer in tow.*

[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We need to get rid of this ship we have in tow before we can head out after them."

[11:28] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Can't the Argentina take it?"

[11:28] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "The Argentina's hangar bay is larger than ours, they might be able to accommodate it."

[11:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She nodded.*  "That would make life a lot easier for everyone, I think."

[11:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Leads teh way to the transporter room and steps on the pad confidently waiting for the rest to assemble*

[11:29] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li steps on the pad.*

[11:29] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= Bridge to Aria, hold on your transport for a moment.

[11:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sar]  *He was still in the transporter room as they arrived, giving a cordial nod to Aria.*

[11:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she thinks about that for a moment.-- "Contact the ARgintina and see if they have room in thier hanger bay for it."

[11:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Aye, ma'am, contacting them now..."  *She pressed the necessary buttons.*

[11:30] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= Holding on the Pad.

[11:30] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks a bit confused by the order to hold*

[11:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Argentina confirms they have the space, ma'am.  Should I tell them to take it?"

[11:31] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If we pursue along that heading at warp 9.7, we should arrive in time to track their next jump."

[11:32] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "yeah let's let them take it, that way we can get to chasing this trail before it goes cold."

[11:32] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: =^= We're handing off to the Argentina so we can go to maximum warp.

[11:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She nodded.*  "We still want our Engineers to take a look, give the Argentina's a hand?"

[11:32] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Lays in the new heading and begins prejump calculations*

[11:33] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: =^= So are we beaming to the argentina or will their engineering handle it?

[11:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "LEt the engineering team know they can beam over to the Argentina to assist with the repairs. But, they need to be prepared to beam back at a moments notice."

[11:35] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *nods* =^= Go ahead to the Argentina, but be ready to return at a moment's notice.

[11:35] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She nodded.*  "Well they'll be right next door, so it won't be too far of a run if they have to come home."

[11:36] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I do point out that if we engage with thse kidnaping mingers and go full protection against transporters... we are not transporting anyone, Perhaps tell the mto get a camp kit?"

[11:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks over at Aria with that response.*

[11:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Argentina's been told to expect company, they're preparing to tractor the ship in."  *She blinked at Ilya.*  "Oh.. right.  I forgot for a second there."

[11:37] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well then lets get going

[11:37] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We have the means to penetrate their shields if we need to disable their transporters quickly."

[11:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Transporter Operator]  "Four to the Argentina, then?"

[11:37] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Unless they, like us learn from tehir mistakes"

[11:38] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods to the transporter chief.*

[11:38] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yes

[11:38] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: If they did that, they wouldn't still be kidnapping people.

[11:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T.O.] "Alright... coordinates laid in.  On your order, ma'am."

[11:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Jill and Laige climbed up onto the pad.*

[11:38] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "The Scyrithi have quite a head start."

[11:38] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "One would wich adaptebility and some  bloody common decency where connected, aye"

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] "They do... but we've got a damned fast ship, too."

[11:39] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Engage

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "If you'll excuse my language, ma'am."

[11:39] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Not to mention, We could slipstream... if we knew where to slipstream to"

[11:40] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am afraid if we ender slipstream we will lose the trail."

[11:41] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Aye ma'am. We will"

[11:41] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The four engineers vanished from the Pilgrim's transporter pad and rematerialised on the Argentina's.  A vulcan female was at the console, and gave a cordial nod.*

[11:41] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vulcan] "Welcome to the Argentina, Commander."

[11:41] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Mister Zital, what speed do you recommend for us to best be able to track the target?"

[11:41] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Thanks. Um if you could direct us to your docking bay I guess...

[11:42] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks around clearly unfamiliar with her new surroundings*

[11:42] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Minimum warp 9.7, recommend maximum warp to ensure we get there before the subspace wake completely decays."

[11:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vulcan] "A member of the security team will be here shortly.  Your arrival was somewhat... last minute."

[11:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Understood. Helm engage at maximum warp."

[11:43] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Last minute?

[11:43] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "If we engage max warp, we will hemmorahge power like a bloody frenchman, and might risk optimal sensor strength"

[11:44] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Aye ma'am, Engaging, going to maximum warp" *presses the warp button to take them to warp to the already laid in course*

[11:44] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *raises a eyebrow at the last minute remark*

[11:44] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vulcan] "I merely meant that the decision to take you aboard was made quite rapidly."

[11:45] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Oh. Well we're here to assist.

[11:45] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: I think speed is more important than a clear picture, a least at the moment.

[11:45] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yeah take it up with command I just got word we needed to fix the alien ship not decide where it ends up.

[11:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she grips the arm rest obviously annoyed. She glances at Serris and at Ilya-- "CAn we come to some agreement here?"

[11:45] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Maximum warp."

[11:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I am all for speed"

[11:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "very good then maximum warp it is."

[11:45] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Warp 7 and accelerating"

[11:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The doors slid open then, and Farring stepped inside with a slight nod.*

[11:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vulcan]  "Commander, I did not expect you to come yourself."

[11:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring]  "Nonsense, we have guests."  *The human gave a slight nod to Aria.*  "Good evening, Commander.  I expect you wish to get right to work?"

[11:47] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Warp nine and accelerating"

[11:48] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris keeps his hawk eye on the warp trail.*

[11:48] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Warp 9.9 and increasing"

[11:49] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *Smiles and nods*

[11:49] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Thats what we are here for.

[11:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Seems to be in a slightly better mood, getting to go really fast*

[11:49] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Pilgrim and Argentina streaked off into the darkness on the Scyrthi trail.*

[11:49] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Warp 9.975 and holding ma'am"

[11:50] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Steady as she goes."

[11:50] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: If you could point us in the right direction so we dont get lost that would help. *chuckles*

[11:50] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Aye aye"

[11:50] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We should be able to maintain this speed for about an hour before we have to ease off the throttle."

[11:51] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring]  "I'll do you one better and take you there myself," *he smiled at the Orion, heading to the door and motioning out into the hallway.*

[11:51] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li follows behind Aria.*

[11:51] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "We can do it for twenty two... but then we should book time at the drydock"

[11:52] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle] "Hopefully that's enough to let us catch up, or at least find where they went to hide."

[11:52] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiles nods and follows*

[11:52] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "well let's see where one hour gets us."

[11:52] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Anyone know any good road trip games?"

[11:52] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris takes a deep breath and exhales, keeping a close eye on their trail.*

[11:52] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "I do know one bloody great one"

[11:53] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she glances over at Gayle with a raised eye brow.--

[11:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Dower and Laige followed after them as Farring took them down a long corridor to a turbolift and stepped inside.*

[11:54] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...It's 'Who Can Be Quiet The Longest,' isn't it?"

[11:54] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Not at all"

[11:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She shuffled to the far side of the lift, avoiding eye contact with the others.*

[11:55] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Alot more room in here then we are used to.

[11:55] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "based on the name of that one i suspect I will prefer it."

[11:55] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: "Paste the jock punk who sings. Its bloody briliant"

[11:55] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring] "We've also got a lot more people to carry around," *he nodded at Aria.*

[11:55] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...What?"

[11:56] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Probably have some nice rec facilities to compensate though right?

[11:56] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *sighs* "lets go with the silent game"

[11:57] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring]  "Not as many as I'd like, but we've got more than just holodecks like some starships."

[11:57] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She sighed.*  "Okay..."

[11:57] [DOIC1] Milla@Cuatela: *shrugs*

[11:58] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She shrugged back at Milla.*

[11:58] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* I figured you would at least have an expanded set of dining facilities.

[11:58] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Smirks some to herself as she enjoys pushing the stupid science boat to some real spead while enjoying the silence of the bridge*

[11:58] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tries to figure out where the trail ends along their current heading.*

[11:58] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring]  "Oh, of course.  And you're more than welcome to them when you've finished with the ship, of course."  *He stepped out as the lift came to a halt, leading them into a vast hangar bay.*

[11:59] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks around* Wow this reminds me more of DS( than the pilgrim.

[11:59] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Based on these readings, it looks like we'll be heading beyond the regions we've charted so far."

[12:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Neat... we'll be doing some stellar cartography along the way it seems."

[12:00] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "understood. I suppose this should have been anticipated."

[12:00] [DOIC1] Ilya@Illuice: *Sighs as her moment quickly died*

[12:00] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Wow.

[12:02] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring]  "Oh, you've been?  I guess we're pretty lucky, being the size we are.  We get all the toys."  *He lead them to an alien ship that was slightly larger than a roundabout, jet black in...

[12:02] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: colour and appearing to almost glitter in the light of the hangar.*

[12:03] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yeah DS9 was my first duty station. *eagerly heads towards the alien ship*

[12:03] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li follows right behind, trying to contain his awe.*

[12:03] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Farring]  "No kidding?  My little brother was stationed there, you ever meet a Harlan Farring?"

[12:04] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Doesn't sound familiar but I kind of kept to myself there.

[12:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She followed Li and Aria, not even listening to the man as she gazed upon the ship.*  "It's... beautiful."

[12:04] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks for a visible hatch or entryway to the alien ship*

[12:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Just then a door opened up on the side, the short figure of Nadine Ettore in the doorway.  She waved to Aria.*  "Hi!"

[12:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well...that was easy.

[12:06] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris works tirelessly at his station to stay on top of the Scyrthi.*

[12:06] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Hey. *smiles and waves and walks toward the door*

[12:06] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "Well you knew we were inside, didn't you?  Anyway, Karthan's been a real help."

[12:07] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Well yeah but you beamed in right?

[12:08] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: You never know how different species handle physical hatches.

[12:09] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "I guess?"  *She stepped aside to let them in.*

[12:09] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Argentina and Pilgrim continued on the new trail as the credits begin to roll, bringing the episode to a social... *

[12:13] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li pokes his head in to look around.*

[12:14] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *heads in and looks at nadine* So anything neat in here?

[12:14] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The ship's interior was similarly black, though the shimmer was notably less evident with the current lighting.  The consoles were large, their screens white to contrast against the dark background.*

[12:16] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ettore]  "Well, the whole ship's freaking gorgeous, as you can probably see.  And of course, there's Karthan himself... itself?  I don't know how to address you."

[12:16] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *A calm, cool male voice came over the ship's speakers.*  "You may call me an 'it.'  I am not offended, it is merely fact."

[12:17] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Is the ship also called the Karthan?

[12:17] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "That's correct.  How may I address you?"

[12:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She stepped onto the ship, gaping around.*

[12:18] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: You can call me Aria.

[12:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Hello, Aria.  I take it from the devices you are carrying that you are here to repair me?"

[12:18] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Pretty neat that you are basically the ship.

[12:19] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Yup. So I guess we are like your doctors. And if you can tell us whats wrong we can patch you up in a jiff.

[12:21] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Lady Belir also said so.  I am a prototype serving many functions for the Kirtascans.  You will find that my plasma injectors have been knocked out of alignment, and several of my...

[12:21] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: conduits are unresponsive."

[12:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "All of the tasks not requiring a physical body have been dealt with, I assure you."

[12:24] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *looks a bit confused by the Lady Belir comment* Ok well then I can work on the plasma injectors and you three can work together on the conduits.

[12:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She worried her lower lip, gazing about the little compartment before she nodded at Aria.*  "Can do."

[12:25] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "You have my thanks, Aria."

[12:26] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* We can do that.

[12:26] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The floor tiles lit up in a row stretching down the short hallway and toward the small engineering compartment in the back of the ship.*

[12:26] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Nice is that the way to the inectors or conduits?

[12:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Indeed, please follow the lit path.  Please refrain from attempting to enter the captain's quarters."

[12:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Um that wasnt quite clear.

[12:28] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Which wat is this path leading?

[12:29] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "To the engine room.  The conduits and injectors can both be found within."

[12:30] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Ok. *follows the path*

[12:30] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: Why is the Captains quarters off limits?

[12:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  *He followed eagerly after Aria.*

[12:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She glanced at Li for a moment before she also followed.*

[12:31] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "It is a matter of privacy.  Lady Belir may not be aboard, but I still must respect her wishes."

[12:32] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: That makes sense. As long as nothing is broken in there we will leave it alone.

[12:32] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Well I suppose we would espect the same on our ship.

[12:34] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The doors slid open to the engine room.  It too was jet black with white-screened consoles, with a small, compact warp engine in the direct centre of the room.  The lit path extended to it, and...

[12:35] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: It sure is pretty in here id hate to try and find my way around if lights and gravity was out though.

[12:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: also branched off to three separate panels in the room, two fairly close together and one on the opposite side.*

[12:36] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Thus far that has only been an issue for the Scyrthi that attempted to board me."

[12:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Um, I'm guessing the three panels are the conduits we need to fix...?"

[12:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Correct."

[12:37] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Sounds fairly routine.

[12:37] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *nods* Well I'll work in here each of you take a path and work on a conduit.

[12:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan] "Routine for you, perhaps.  It is not often that I need to direct repairs."

[12:39] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Laige]  "You got it, Aria!"  *He grabbed his kit and hurried eagerly over to the conduit on the far side.*

[12:40] [DOIC3] Aria@Pax_Parabellum: *smiled at his eagerness and got to work on the plasma conduit*

[12:40] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li heads over to his own conduit, setting down a toolkit.*

[12:41] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She nodded slightly as she headed over to one of the other conduits.*  "Um... so I guess this is kind of a, um, soft first contact?  I-I've never heard of Kirtascans."

[12:43] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Me neither.

[12:44] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan] "We have heard of your Federation, but there has been no formal contact on my files."

[12:44] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Lucky us.

[12:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Perhaps if you are able to rescue the Lady Belir and her followers from the Scyrthi, it will be more fulfilling.  I am, after all, not a real Kirtascan.  I was merely programmed by them."

[12:47] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: What?

[12:48] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan] "In what manner was I unclear?"

[12:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: You were...programmeD?

[12:50] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li scratches his head.*

[12:50] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "I am an artificial intelligence."

[12:52] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The components were alien in design, as one would expect, but it would only take a little inspection to be able to see the parallels between them and their own technology.*

[12:52] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Really? Interesting.

[12:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "Were you under the impression that I was hiding in the console?"

[12:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She glanced at Li, biting her lip and giving a slight chuckle.*

[12:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I mean...you could have been hiding somewhere.

[12:55] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan] "It is somewhat difficult to hide when you are my size."

[12:56] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Very funny.

[12:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Karthan]  "I was merely stating facts."

[12:57] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  *She snickered, pushing herself back into the panel to continue working.*

[12:57] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li rolls his eyes.*

[12:58] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Well... almost got it here...  Damn good thing they designed this thing so intuitively."
