Protector 10/5

[9:29] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...*

[9:30] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The camera pans across the Protector as it is a high warp, barreling through LMC space. It
zooms in on Desiree as she begins her opening log...*

[9:33] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: "Bridge log, Stardate 95728.18. Once more someoen thought it to be a lovely idea to send aship without
propper acomedations for a long range patrol in the LMC. And we are the lucky few. I truly hope >

[9:38] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > empty space to search, I understand if many would fall to complecancy, yet everyone need to be sharp,

[9:38] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > end log."

[9:39] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Ma'am, may I make a suggestion?"

[9:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri swivels around-- "Wonderful log entry ma'am. Very insightful."

[9:40] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore is still running checks on the deflector, better safe than sorry.*

[9:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -types away on her console as she goes over the ACCI updates from the Citadel-

[9:40] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus was keeping himself busy at his activity table in the back.*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Sure... and sorry for boring you. I am batteling the boredoom myself"

[9:40] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh no ma'am I was not bored...not yet anyway."

[9:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy giggles softly.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "That is good, You are a better woman then I am, Ezri" *She smiles*

[9:41] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "When we get back, we get command on board and give them a tour of everything and explain to them why
this type of ship is usually used as escourt or rapid response"

[9:41] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] How's the work look?

[9:41] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *His brows rose, giving V'Tira a confused look.*

[9:41] [DOIC1] Walker@redwolf567#2352: *keeps  looking at his console, keeping vigilant while hoping something of interest would
happen.* "Nice little revenge their"

[9:41] [DOIC1] Walker@redwolf567#2352: *there

[9:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Oh I would lvoe to T'Sahriv, if it was not for that the command we risk ahving is named Susan D C
Compton"

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "I offer myself to do the tour"

[9:42] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Take one for the team and all that"

[9:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You have not meet Compton I hear"

[9:42] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Everything's as green as our dear old, Earth. Working fine."

[9:42] [DOIC1] Walker@redwolf567#2352: *Looks at his padd and smiles*

[9:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus palmed his face listening to the current conversation.*

[9:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at V-- "I am not in the mood V, Snowflake died...I am in mourning."

[9:43] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Not personally, but know her reputation"

[9:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -dryly- I do believe when you are limited on resources you make do with what is assigned to you

[9:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Oh... Snowflake..."

[9:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Logically I believe that is what the Admiral is attempting to do with the Avynei in the Black Ocean

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Creative, Ristovski.

[9:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns back to her console-- "that reminds me I need to get engineering to unplug my
toilet."

[9:44] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *smiles as she looks at an incoming message on her console, she nods at her fellow TPV member*

[9:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Snowflake?

[9:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "snowflake my tribble."

[9:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Ensign, you don't get a personal toilet on this class of ship unless you're the captain."

[9:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -blinks- You attempted to 'flush' snowflake's corpse?

[9:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods at V'Tira.--

[9:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Naturally...

[9:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Why would you do that, The little thign deserves a funeral"

[9:45] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I said a few words first."

[9:45] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Eh. My poet's sould was reawakened during our stay on the Citadel. How'd some rest
treat you, boss?"

[9:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "But... the head?"

[9:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Your what?

[9:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Aren't tribbled just... a body?"

[9:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= V'Tira to main engineering

[9:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *tribbles ))

[9:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "what else was I going to do with it?"

[9:47] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Engineering listening in, Ma'am."

[9:47] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Put it in the replicator?"

[9:47] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Ohh dear, you know you are far gone when starting to wonder what a shaved tribble looks like"

[9:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Ew we get food out of that."

[9:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Replicat a tiny torpedo casing and space burry them?"

[9:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= We have need of a ....flushed tribble body retrival from the ....head nearest Ezri's quarters

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "i never thought of that ma'am. That is why you are in charge."

[9:48] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= *The sound of Bore hittng his head against a bulkhead can clearly be heard.*
"Understood..."

[9:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: it looks like a fleshy potato -to T-

[9:48] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...You realise -everything- gets recycled into matter that gets made into food?"

[9:48] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels]...what?

[9:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I guess its good there exist some reason for it" *She smiles lightly*

[9:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =^= Thank you Mister Ristovski

[9:48] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...I think ensign Tegan flushed her dead tribble."

[9:49] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Oh, no!  Her tribble died?!"

[9:49] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He looks at everyone in engineering.* "The lot of you owe me -big time.-"

[9:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I just wonder if I should get another tribble, or if it is too soon."

[9:49] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He then nods at Ricky.* "Yeah. Poor Snowflake. And now I gotta go screw with his
corpse..."

[9:49] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] You can't be serious...she...did what?\

[9:49] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "remember to go trough proper channels this time"

[9:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: How old was Snowflake?

[9:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "How long should greiving go on for?"

[9:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: twenty one years

[9:50] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I mean... it's a tribble..."

[9:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "a few months I guess."

[9:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -repeats- twenty one years

[9:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I wonder if I should get counseling."

[9:50] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore goes to try and deal with the very unpleasant issue himself.*

[9:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes grief counseloing is most important

[9:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Taps her console a few times, typing a message*

[9:51] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...It was a tribble.  They literally do nothing except eat and reproduce, I think you'll be
alright."

[9:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You will need to ensure you go through all 7 stages of giref prpery Ezri

[9:51] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "thanks V'Tira. I mean after that whole thing with Aloran...I think I may do
something rash."

[9:51] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I bet Nalie never had to retrieve dead tribbles flushed down the crapper..." *He sighs
and gets down and dirty.*

[9:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: grief*

[9:51] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "wait there are seven whole stages?"

[9:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- I concur....i too often experienced rash...when it came to Aloran

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "she was a good friend."

[9:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed -nods to Ezri- and you must ensure you get each on correct or you must start over

[9:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The boss on the denial level is most difficult

[9:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "God that sounds terribly boring."

[9:52] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *looks at V'tira raising an eyebrow*

[9:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is not very engaging but ..the counselor helps you with each respawn point

[9:53] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she pauses and looks at V'Tira-- "wait, boss?"

[9:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods-

[9:53] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Jesus Christ, and I thought Nadine loved humiliating me..."

[9:53] [DOIC1] Walker@redwolf567#2352: "Theres a boss on every level"

[9:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...I don't think that's how it works."

[9:53] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He gags a bit, taking a small clump of white hairs out.* "Awwww, dude, nooooo!"

[9:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "what sort of levels are we talking about here?"

[9:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Seven

[9:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I might just skip the grieving thing."

[9:55] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Why the hell is it never - "Ristovski, bang the hot android chick to see how her
insides work" instead of "Ristovski, take the poor dead tribble out the crapper..."

[9:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: As you wish...but often that is when the nightmares begin

[9:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "what sort of nightmares."

[9:56] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "This crap is nothing like Kirk's biography..." *He finally takes out what's left of
Snowball, and his lower lip quivers once he sees the sorry state of the once-cute being.* "Come on, tiny thing, >

[9:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks at her- Are you sure you wish to hear...you are now entering the first stgae of grief...Shock

[9:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: stage*

[9:56] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Let's get you washed up, at least..." *He lets out a small sob, not liking this at
all.*

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns-- "I guess no."

[9:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Jut be prepared for the...well..the Harliquins

[9:57] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The clump of fur gave a little squeak.*

[9:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she checks her pulse.--

[9:57] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You're alive?!"

[9:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- did you just say the word 'no'?

[9:58] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore washes the little thing with fervour, wanting to make it feel better, or at least
be a cleaner corpse.*

[9:58] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The tribble was trembling in Bore's hands.*

[9:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "maybe."

[9:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Welcome to the second stage of grief...Denial

[9:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Shock....versus Ezri...Ezri...total victory...fatality

[9:59] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Poor thing!" *Bore quickly dried it off once it was washed up, then took off his
jacket, to wrap it around the little thing and make it feel warmer and happier.* "Let's get you to the doctor, baby."

[10:00] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "well that wasn't so hard."

[10:00] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [telepaths please roll]

[10:00] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Doctor?!" *He walks into sickbay.* "We have a very sick tribble, it was flushed down
a toilet! Please help her!"

[10:00] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The tribble made a weak trilling noise.*

[10:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed....but careful...denial is a strong adversary full of tricks to fool you

[10:00] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore pets the little thing in his hands.*

[10:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is okay V'Tira I am a genius."

[10:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Not easily fooled..."

[10:01] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...I'm not sure if you're joking..."

[10:01] [DOIC1] Walker@redwolf567#2352: *Mutters* "Must be nice beign a tribbe..."

[10:02] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *briefly looks over at Ezri, before going back to flying*

[10:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at Marcus-- "I wasn't joking."

[10:02] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore waits for a doctor to notice him, trying to hug and get the tribble as warm as
possible.* "Come on baby... I believe in you, you can do this."

[10:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus had the look of an individual who was currently trying to figure out where he went
wrong in life to end up here.*

[10:03] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Mister Ristovski? *The Bajoran ensign approaches him.*

[10:03] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "This poor baby, I found her in the sewage, she was flushed... she's freezing, might
have some other issues, please help her!"

[10:03] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He sounds genuinely distraught.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- I will be here if you require any asistance Ezri

[10:04] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The tribble continued to tremble and shake.*

[10:04] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] You...found her...what? *Jad takes the tribble and sets it over on a biobed.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You conquored yur shock admirably

[10:04] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He nods at Shoa.* "Yeah. She was flushed down the toilet."

[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: your*

[10:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she swivels around and looks at Desiree, not saying a word but looking concerned.--

[10:05] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jad gives Bore a long stare from across the biobed as she starts running some basic tests.*

[10:05] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Helm, New course, 275 mark 55" *She looks at Ezri*

[10:06] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Are you okay ma'am?"

[10:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at this- Commander?

[10:06] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah, you try digging in there to get that poor baby out!"

[10:06] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *blinks shaking her head* "Setting new course 275 mark 55" *she shrugs before changing the course
wondering what is going on*

[10:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I am alright. I feel something, we are checking it out"

[10:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Ofcourse

[10:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh of course ma'am. A very wise decision."

[10:07] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "At least its a change"

[10:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --checks her sensor feed to see if anything appears.--

[10:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, we do nto exactly have something mor eurgent to do and it fits well within our MO"

[10:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps however you might elaborate more?

[10:08] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Will she make it?"

[10:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I can not really. It is quite weak, feels like a cry for help"

[10:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Of course I am not showing anything unusual on sensors."

[10:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Then it will grow stronger as we grow closer....perhaps set ship condition to yellow alert as a
precaution?

[10:09] [DOIC1] Walker@redwolf567#2352: *checks his console once more doing the scans*

[10:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -checks for any stray subspace transission or distress calls-

[10:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Curious....-keeps scanning regardless-

[10:11] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "We are still at Warp eight"

[10:12] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] I'm not exactly an expert on Tribble physiology!

[10:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at T'sahriv.-- "what is our current heading?"

[10:12] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I am unsure if yellow alert is needed. I sense nothing threatening and nothing on sensors. And I do
not really wish to get people all excited for nothing... yet"

[10:12] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Okay, I'm just asking!" *He raises his hand defensively.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Could it be coming from a nearby system?

[10:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Logically if someone is in distress and calling for help....there is a reason why

[10:13] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "275, mark 55?"

[10:13] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *While Shoa works on the tribble, he goes to pet it and coo to it, hoping some
affection might have a good psychological effect on it.*

[10:13] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *Start trying to cheek where the heading is going*

[10:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "What do we have in the 270-280 50-60 arc?"

[10:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Scans for star systems or any other objects on that course.--

[10:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Silence...I am picking up no stray subspace messages out in that direction

[10:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: which is curious in and of itself

[10:15] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *UNaware of the happenings on the bridge, he takes his padd out to type something with
one hand while he continues petting the poor tribble.*

[10:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --bleep blop blorp bleorp.--

[10:16] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Whatever respiratory system it uses, it has a build up of fluid. It may not survive.,

[10:17] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore's face drops at that, as he goes to snuggle the poor baby hard, not wanting to
let go.* "Can't I do anything for it? Like, give it warm tea, or like, put it near the heating tubes..."

[10:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "There are three systems along that general route."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "LMC-3100, LMC-3110, and LMC-3115."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "This is a bit strange, it is telepathic, yet it seems more based in conceptiualized comunications,
and very confused"

[10:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *She taps her console a few times*

[10:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -closes her eyes and tries to sense what Desiree is feeling-

[10:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Are you a doctor, or an engineer?

[10:19] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Please, baby, pull through, I promise you, if you survive, you're staying with me,
I'm not giving you to Tegan ever."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well let them know if they want our help they are going to have to learn to communicate a bit
more clearly."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It's probably not that simple, ensign."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs--

[10:19] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I'm an engineer... just do what you can. If you see it's suffering and will not make
it... please put it down."

[10:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Okay.

[10:20] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The tribble trilled weakly.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- I sense something now as well....surface emotions...confusion....pain...and such
exhaustion

[10:21] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore's eyes tear up, as he lets go of the tribble so Shoa can work.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --checks which system they are currently closest to.--

[10:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jad goes over to prep a hypospray.*

[10:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, I am trying to speak to it yet its telapthic conceptiual base is so different"

[10:21] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *While she preps it, he goes to cuddle and try to keep the tribble warm again.* "I

[10:22] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please hold on."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tactical, Science, nothing on sensors?"

[10:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We are currently closest to LMC-3100 ma'am. I think that is the most logical place to start
our search."

[10:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "How far of the course is that?"

[10:24] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --checks.--

[10:25] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He cradles the tribble like it's an actual baby, looking like an orangutan with a
baby, preparing to whack whoever comes close to take his baby away.*

[10:25] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The tribble's trembles were getting weaker.*

[10:26] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Jad walks over to inject the tribble with the hypo.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it is almost directly on our current heading, only a minor course correction needed. 15
minutes away at current warp velocity."

[10:26] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He lets her inject it, taking deep breaths.* "Please, baby, please, please..."

[10:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Alright, lets check out 3100"

[10:26] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "It would... that"

[10:26] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowball's breathing became more even.*

[10:27] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He gives Shoa a hopeful look.*

[10:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Miss T'sahriv, please set a course for LMC-3100.

[10:29] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks at helm expectantly.--

[10:29] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Aye Ma'am" *sets the course for LMC-3100, avoiding any black holes*

[10:29] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Course Set"

[10:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to T-

[10:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --checks the database to see if there is any information on the system LMC-3100.--

[10:30] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Come on, I believe in you, you will make it, come on..." *He cuddles the tribble
protectively.*

[10:30] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] I think you need to be patient, Mister Ristovski.

[10:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yea... Not avoiding black hoes is kinda bad"

[10:31] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He nods.* "Okay..." *He doesn't let go of the tribble, still cuddling it.*

[10:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "It seems the system is inhabited by two different intelligen species ma'am."

[10:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "one of them is a pre-warp civilization and thus covered under the prime directive."

[10:33] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Execute the course, Miss T'sahriv.

[10:33] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And the other one?"

[10:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Which one is GO1?

[10:33] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Ehh I may have missunderstood, cause I did?"

[10:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "the other one is a space faring civilization."

[10:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Anything else?"

[10:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --checks which one is which.--

[10:34] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *checks her console, nodding her head as they fly trough space*

[10:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I hope I did not send a picture of a chibified protector to a GO1 civilization"

[10:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps we should cloak upon approach?

[10:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "The system has been previously explored. I am currently reading through the reports."

[10:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I agree. Helm, alert me upon 7 minutes, Ops, prepare for cloaked running"

[10:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: By the Yanda? The Avynei?

[10:35] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Aye Ma'am"

[10:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We know who was here first?"

[10:35] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Doc? Please keep me updated, I have been gone from engineering for too long."

[10:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to marcus-

[10:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri turns and looks at the GM--

[10:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [back!]

[10:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Of course.

[10:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "the exploration report in the database is a paragraph referring to another report filed by
someone named Ulsa."

[10:38] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks."

[10:39] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore returns to his position, wiping his eyes with the back of his hands.*

[10:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Can you sommarize the file on 3100?"

[10:39] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Ristovski?

[10:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I just did ma'am."

[10:39] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "What's wrong, Bore?"

[10:40] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it is not exacly packed with details."

[10:40] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "This is your seven mins warning, seven minute ETA"

[10:40] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I'll tell you guys later... Anything new since I was... occupied?"

[10:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Engage cloak"

[10:41] [DOIC1] Walker@redwolf567#2352: *enages the cloak immediatly when told*

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --switches sensors over to passive mode while in cloaked operations.--

[10:42] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector fades from view as it phases.*

[10:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V? Any progress?"

[10:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am unsure it understands who or what I am -tries again0

[10:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at V-- "Try using smaller words."

[10:44] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "I dunno, I was just trying to remember at which age I stopped telling people that I
was halfway to my birthday..."

[10:44] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Like why don't we keep doing that as adults?"

[10:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I was a bit unsure how to explain What a V'Tira is"

[10:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am...unique

[10:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Very"

[10:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy giggles.*

[10:45] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Shrug.* "My last few birthdays were sucky. I don't even celebrate them anymore."

[10:45] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: [Ricky]  "Least you were there for your last few birthdays..."

[10:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Trying...small words

[10:46] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Ouch... sorry, dude."

[10:47] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "We are arriving" *she says as she slowly down the ship to impulse*

[10:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I find when I am explaining things to stupid people it helps not to use a lot of big
complicated words."

[10:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe I am speaking to a collective

[10:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They do not seem to understand the concept of apart

[10:48] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "A hivemind?"

[10:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or a collective conscience

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "interesting."

[10:48] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As the Protector enters the system, they are treated to the sight of two planetoids: one
earthlike, and the other orbiting it.

[10:48] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *

[10:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhps...it is fascinating

[10:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tegan, get those scans going please"

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she seriously considers this thought.--

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "yes ma'am."

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --gets those scans going--

[10:51] [DOIC1] Walker@redwolf567#2352: "We have mutiple ships in the Vcinity, although scansindicate none of them are warp capable."

[10:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "This seems to be the system"

[10:53] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "The planet is home to a rather technologically advanced, yet pre-warp civilization. "

[10:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "What planet do they inhabit?"

[10:53] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] =^= Sickbay to Ensign Ristovski

[10:53] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore takes a long, deep sigh.* =^= "Ensign Ristovski listening?"

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "The M class planet ma'am, the other body appears to be a moon of some kind."

[10:54] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *raises an eyebrow, looking at all the ships on the sensors* "Facinating"

[10:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am uncertain where all the ships are coming from."

[10:55] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] =^= ummm...from what I can tell...it is...stable?

[10:56] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Thank you so much..." *He looks to Kobay.* "Boss? Permission to retreat to
sickbay for a minute again?"

[10:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Make it quick.

[10:57] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He nods, and runs out.*

[10:57] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore whooshes into sickbay, heading to snowball's bed.* "Can I take her?"

[10:58] [DOIC3] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowball was sleeping peacefully on the biobed.*

[10:58] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Helm, bring us in to orbit of the moon"

[10:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "the moon?"

[10:58] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *His gaze softens, looking at the sleepy tribble baby.*

[10:59] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Aye Ma'am" *nods before at impulse setting course to the indicated moon orbiting the planet*

[10:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] I have no idea.

[10:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tegan, take a sweep of the moon please"

[10:59] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I'll risk it." *He gently scoops up the baby, kissing it, trying not to think where
it came from, even after all the washing he gave her.*

[11:00] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "eye ma'am."

[11:00] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --takes a sweep of the moon.--

[11:00] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks, Doctor. I will bring her back to you if she need you again. Than you." *He
places the tribble in his jacket pocket.8

[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is ....beginning to understand...question now

[11:01] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Yeah...I don't even have anything to offer in terms of a follow up schedule, so...good
luck?

[11:01] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks, I guess."

[11:01] [DOIC3] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "See you, Doctor, thank you again."

[11:01] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] You're welcome.

[11:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely, keep me updated"

[11:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am detecting a series of structures on the surface of the moon, they contain a breathable
atmosphere."

[11:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed....this is a fascinating process...similar to my discussion with the Protomolecule

[11:02] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Neat, mole men."

[11:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --scanning for life signs.--

[11:02] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore returns to engineering, cooing to something in his pocket, then goes to take his
postion.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "scanning for life signs."

[11:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Everything good?

[11:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh god no!"

[11:04] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Ensign?"

[11:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow and looks to Ezri-

[11:05] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I think there may be lizard people down there ma'am."

[11:05] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yeah. Snowflake is alive. Tegan had fuc... flushed her without even checking if she's
alive. She was dying of cold and something that blocked her respiratory tracts..."

[11:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Clown Lizard People?

[11:05] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Managed to save her from the pipes, then took her to sickbay. She almost didn't make
it. But she's fine now."

[11:06] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't know V'Tira my scanners are not sensitive enough to detect skin color."

[11:06] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...I think they prefer to be called 'reptillian,' Ensign."

[11:06] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "whatever repltilian people."

[11:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Repitialian clowns?

[11:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Seriously, i am picking up reptilian people lifesigns."

[11:07] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Living underground, though?  Don't they typically like hot climates and lots of sunlight?"

[11:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "But, there are other lifesigns I am having trouble identifying."

[11:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Not surprising

[11:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Is that the same kind of lifesigns as on the M class?"

[11:07] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay just stares at Bore blankly at this story.*

[11:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --check what sort of lifesigns are on the M class world--

[11:08] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "What?" *He gives the little tribble in his pocket a loving pet with two fingers.*

[11:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Yes the reptillians are on the M class world as well."

[11:09] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "What kind of numbers are we talking about, here?  On the moon, I mean."

[11:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "maybe they are prisoners? it could be a moon prison."

[11:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --checks the numbers--

[11:10] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am picking up about one hundred peoples."

[11:11] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Not many"

[11:11] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And only some of them are the lizard pe--- reptillians?"

[11:12] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I half believe you made that up on the spot.

[11:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: 100 lifeforms or one hundred different races?

[11:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "100 life forms, only two different types of life signs the reptillians and something else."

[11:13] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...Ask the doctor. I actually cried when she told me Snowball won't make it."

[11:13] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowflake purrs.*

[11:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [Snowflake*[

[11:13] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: (Snowflake*)

[11:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [*preens*]

[11:14] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Awww!" *He pets her again.* "I promise, baby, I'll keep you safe. Tegan ain't getting
her paws on you again."

[11:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "What is the somethign else?"

[11:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't know ma'am."

[11:15] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus scratched his beard.*  "This is starting to look more suspect.  Maybe it's a compound
some other species built to study the reptillians on this planet?"

[11:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "perhaps it is the ones V'Tira and you are talking to."

[11:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not think what I am talking to..is even aware of other species

[11:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs--

[11:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tegan, can you figure out what the otehr thing is?"

[11:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Without more detailed scan I can not provide any more details. I would need to perform an
active scan for that."

[11:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious...V'Tira is something..was its last message...i believe it is understanding

[11:19] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Can't you, you know..."  *He motioned to his head.*  "Try and telepath the other ones?"

[11:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Telepathy with prewars is sensitive. otehrwise it would be nice"

[11:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I will continue to monitor the sensors to see if I  learn anything new."

[11:22] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Just don't let it near any food you want to eat.

[11:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --keeps monitoring the passive scanners.--

[11:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We are not in a hurry to be elsewhere, and untill we know exactly what we are dealing with, we are
covert surveliance"

[11:23] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Of course. But she's my baby now, I'm not letting her get flushed or abused ever
again. Is that so? Yes, it is!" *He takes Snowflake out of his pocket to give her a kiss, then tucks her back into >

[11:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -records any and all messages in the system-

[11:24] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Safety.*

[11:24] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[11:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shrugged.*

[11:24] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "want to stay in moon orbit?"

[11:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes"

[11:26] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "alright staying in phased orbit"

[11:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Leans back and lets her gaze wander between Ezri and V'Tira*

[11:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -buts up the local's most recent game of sort of baseball on her screen-

[11:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious....

[11:29] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *looks over at V'Tira's screen"

[11:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "The other species does not appear to be humanoid. There are only five of them."

[11:30] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If they're not humanoid, what are they?  The lizard people's dogs?"

[11:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "maybe some sort of livestock."

[11:31] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am uncertain. There just is not enough information."

[11:31] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Only having five livestock does not really seem logical"

[11:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is a good point."

[11:32] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I'm still going with dogs.  Lizard puppies."

[11:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We need a bit more then that to go on"

[11:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "pets might be more logical."

[11:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "or maybe they are the lizard peoples overlords. excuse me reptillian peoples overlords."

[11:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira? Anything new?"

[11:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am unsure...if this is similar to regular baseball...federaton standard rules...that was a double play

[11:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I was more thinking of telepathy, not sports"

[11:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and... i have also detected some coded communication on an encrypted channel between the moon and its
planet

[11:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Content?"

[11:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: attempting to access such now -attempts to crack the encyrption-

[11:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "...a secret moon base."

[11:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: A reptilian secret moonbase

[11:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Purpose?"

[11:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods slowly.--

[11:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- with a very well crafted encrypton code

[11:39] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If the moon base is the reptillians', it falls under the prime directive."

[11:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I wonder....if what I am speaking to is not the subject of the native race's researrch

[11:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: it would explain its exhaustion and distress

[11:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Maybe they are holding something prisoner and doing experiments on it?"

[11:41] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That is...horrific.

[11:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "would the prime directive prevent us from helping?"

[11:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Depends if the subject is from offworld"

[11:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am not detecting another life sign on the moon."

[11:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Ohh..."  *He snapped his fingers.*  "What if this is their Area 51?"

[11:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "What is area fifty one?"

[11:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "When Earth was pre-warp, there were rumours that aliens had crashed on the planet and the
survivors were being held in a secret government facility."

[11:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that sounds like a conspiracy theory."

[11:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He stared at Ezri.*  "...Seriously?"

[11:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "yeah you shoudn't believe everything you read."

[11:45] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *shakes her head and moniters her console*

[11:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Area 51 was a misdirection from the true site on Earth....something called Hanger 18

[11:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Please lets focus on the here and now and not humans tragic past"

[11:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ezri...what was the report on the other speices in the system?

[11:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "In any case, maybe that's what happened here.  Maybe one of the people from the other species
in this system crash landed on this planet and is being held by their government for experimentation."

[11:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "other than being a space faring species there was not a lot of details."

[11:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is possible, They could have been engaged in rresearch and crashed."

[11:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that may be the five lifesigns I am detecting."

[11:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Check it"

[11:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she blinks-- "I will see what I can do."

[11:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --goes over her sensors and reports on the system again.--

[11:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Um ma'am I don't know if this is important but I noticed the report does not actually say
space faring it actually stated space dwelling."

[11:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -tries again to crack the encryption code-

[11:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "This i on you two now, TEgan and V'Tira. We need you to find the asnwers before we can do anything"

[11:51] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *ponders over things*

[11:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: NO pressure

[11:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Can you sen me that file, Tegan?"

[11:51] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am feeling alittle bit f pressure."

[11:51] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "We believe in you"

[11:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed to Ezri..it is often on us is it not?

[11:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --presses some buttons and sends the file to Desireee.--

[11:52] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Space dwelling?  Are they cosmozoan or do they use technology to live in the vacuum?"

[11:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is a good question."

[11:52] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Hmm does seem to only be on me when we are chasing or running from something"

[11:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Fascinating....and let it be known once more V'Tira the Unigue is correct. -to Desiree- I have cracked
the native's code

[11:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Unique*

[11:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And what does it reveal?"

[11:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He lightly palmed his face again.*

[11:53] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "perhaps we could disguise ourselves as reptillians and beam down and look."

[11:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] You gonna tell me why an Ensign thought a tribble was dead and tried to dispose of
it without going to sickbay?

[11:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It would be a sad state of afairs if it was on you when it was nto related to movement on the ship,
Helm. Someone owld have to really mess up"

[11:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The transmission is a update report..it would appear that our locals appear to be experimenting on an
alien race they have discoovered on the moon. They are attempting to ascertain how the cosmozoans

[11:55] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "yeah that is true, Ma'am"

[11:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Cosmosoans, cool. i love those guys."

[11:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: move through space in an effort to improve their own space endeavours. It seems the other race is capable
of exsisting in the vaccum of space with little difflculty

[11:55] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I don't know. I just saved the poor baby... I might ask her later."

[11:56] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We should reasue them."

[11:56] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He frowned.*  "And let me guess, they didn't exactly ask the cosmozoans if they could run
those tests."

[11:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to marcus- It would explain the distress Desiree and i have detected

[11:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods at that-- "it sure would."

[11:57] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Have they expressly asked for our assistance freeing them?  Because that would change things
as far as the prime directive's involved."

[11:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: While they have made several attempts...the natives were unable to communicate with the cosmozoans

[11:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "That becomes a very difficult interpritation, Blaine"

[11:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They do not react well to the images of the reptilans

[11:59] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --swivels around and looks at Desiree.--

[11:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "What I picked up I imedately reacted to as a cry for help, thou it was never by the exacting words
"Help" So how do one judge that?"

[11:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not believe the natives seek to harm....the two species simply can not communicate with one another

[12:00] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I don't blame them V'Tira."

[12:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: However..it could be argued..a first contact had already taken place

[12:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: between these two species

[12:01] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus nodded.*  "Well, ask them what they would like us to do, perhaps?"

[12:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "technically first contact has taken place between the Cosmazoans and us ma'am."

[12:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I would need permission before i could do such a thing

[12:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] IF we leave them at this impasse they will remain in captivity, possibly forever.

[12:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We might be able to cheat Desiree

[12:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "so yeah we could cheat..."

[12:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I personally experience what I felt as a distress call, a distress call is basically a cry for help"

[12:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: if we bridged the gap by showing the cosmosoans how to communicate to the reptilains without revealing
ourselves

[12:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods at Desiree.-- "yes ma'am."

[12:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "How do you sugest to do that, V?"

[12:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And if that doesn't work, if the only way they can communicate is through us?"  *He looked at
V'Tira.*

[12:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We could asssit the Cosmozoan in reaching out to the nearest reptilian researcher and ...help the
converation

[12:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They need not know who or where are

[12:04] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "When I communciated with them it was really... vauge, it was hard to get any sense of message across"

[12:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We could disguise ourselves as reptllians and beam down."

[12:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I got it to talk to me

[12:04] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "No."  *He said flatly to Ezri.*

[12:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "just a suggestion."

[12:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -seems to be pondering Ezri's suggestion-

[12:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He eyed V'Tira.*

[12:05] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We are not beaming down"

[12:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: But

[12:05] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It would put the Prime Directive at great risk.

[12:05] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sighs-- "so muc for seeing the Cosmozoans."

[12:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks at Catherine- do humans not have a saying 'you have to risk it to get the biscuit?"

[12:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We are not beaming down. the option is excluded and need nto be futehr investigated"

[12:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "What biscuit?"

[12:07] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded to Desiree.*

[12:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Desiree- As you wish...

[12:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V. See if you can give them the means to communicate with their captors, if not we simply free them,
and hope we can tell them to tell their kind to stay clear of the system"

[12:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am attempting to do so as we speak -nods-

[12:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely, Thank you"

[12:09] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Could wait until they're alone in their cells, hack their recording devices and beam them out
of the facility."

[12:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Ezri- A special biscuit I am told....perhaps for holidays or religous purposes

[12:10] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I like biscuits."

[12:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Only special biscuit I ever heard of was the sog--- never mind."

[12:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: As do I -nods- I have developed quite a taste for them

[12:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -closes her eyes now and concentrates-

[12:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "How large are this prisoners?"

[12:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --continues to monitor the five life signs.--

[12:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "i am trying to estimate their size base don signal intensity."

[12:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -closes her eyes and concentrates more, her hands tighening into fists-

[12:16] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Wow. Each of these creatures is pretty large ma'am. half as large as the Protector. so beaming
them out is not an option."

[12:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I have connect them....a female researcher...who is now aware these are not her thoughts

[12:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree if you could assist

[12:16] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "How large, So we need what class of ship we have to request if it comes to that?"

[12:17] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "What do you need, V?"

[12:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Find my thoughts...send to the researcher through me..what your felt

[12:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Tries to bridge teh two minds*

[12:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --glances at Desireee and and V'Tira.--

[12:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She is acknowledging Ezri...she seems confused at how she is reading these thoughts

[12:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I could hack into the reptillians communicatiosn network."

[12:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I think V has a lovely access allready, Tegan, but thank you"

[12:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "okay sure. I was hoping to see some pictures of the cosmozoans."

[12:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am able to speak to the researcher Desiree

[12:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And...?"

[12:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am ....working on it'

[12:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am trying to avoid the rather natural curiousity involved here

[12:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Very good"

[12:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tegan? Would a Sentinel have large enough transporters?"

[12:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- She posseses a very logical mind

[12:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Will she see the big ones released?"

[12:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps

[12:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is a process

[12:28] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "ma'am the largest of the cosmozoans is upwards of 80 meters. We could not even beam up one."

[12:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We cant, but there are larger ships in the fleet"

[12:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "perhaps that weird alien triangular ship we found."

[12:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Both the Sentinel and Adagio are enroute back to the Citadel...the Adagio is escorting a Xert Ark ship
and the Sentinel is returning after a battle aboard ship and a desolate world

[12:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It need to be a cloak equiped ship"

[12:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs--

[12:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "So Sentinel comes to mind, I have to admit I am unsure if solis are cloak equiped"

[12:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They are not...the Adagio has no cloaking device

[12:31] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We could tractor them out."

[12:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Then the Sentinel is probably the largest cloakeble ship operatign out there"

[12:32] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "What, break them through the ceiling and have the reptillians sucked into space?"

[12:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "i admit it is a less that graceful solution."

[12:32] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Yeah, no."

[12:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs--

[12:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Hopefully V'Tira will convince them of releasing them by their own accord"

[12:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "If the cosmozoans are in a healthy enough state to fly away all we would really need to do is
beam them beyond the walls."

[12:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, and keep the reptilian fleet from engaging"

[12:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We might be able to modify our transporters to do such,"

[12:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "possibly linking more thanone transporter."

[12:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Mayhaps we could use our holorpjectors to look like a very upset super big Cosmozoan?"

[12:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Like a mother looking for her kids or so?"

[12:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "if I knew what they looked like I could ma'am."

[12:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Nothing on the file of them?"

[12:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "i did not see anything on record. I can take another look"

[12:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --takes another look.--

[12:37] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "How did they get them into the facility in the first place?  Sure there's got to be a door we
could open for them."

[12:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "there are records of other cosmozoan species...I could use their image."

[12:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is true...there may be a space door."

[12:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely,"

[12:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And it may be a space door, or they maybe built it over them"

[12:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I could hack into their network and check."

[12:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe I am getting through

[12:39] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *On the viewscreen, massive space doors start opening on the roof of the facilities.*

[12:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She sees the logic here

[12:39] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Hey, look, space doors."

[12:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "see looks apce doors."

[12:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely!"

[12:40] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --starts recording imagies of the cosmozoans for her records.--

[12:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am letting the cosmozoans know who....-blinks-

[12:41] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Five glowing, circular creatures emerge from the doors out into the void of space.*

[12:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V?"

[12:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh wow."

[12:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "See?  Didn't even have to dress up like reptillians."

[12:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ezri scan the base at once....i need to know if we have the exact number f reptilian researchers still

[12:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Her mind is in some form of dream state

[12:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she scans the base."

[12:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: something has happned to her

[12:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --scan scan scan--

[12:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am reading the same number of reptillian life signs."

[12:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she swivels around-- "ma'am can I put on a EVA suit and swim with the Cosmozoans?"

[12:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [lol]

[12:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus sighed.*

[12:45] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The glowing creatures start to head away from the system.*

[12:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tegan, why are we cloaked?"

[12:45] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Um so no one sees us ma'am."

[12:45] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore was monitoring the systems, from time to time lovingly cooing to Snowflake.*

[12:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And how would that MO go with a Trill in a EVA suit swimming next to teh wales?"

[12:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: **Cosmozoans

[12:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I suppose you have a point ma'am.""

[12:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I was over come by the excitiment of the moment."

[12:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I understand Ezri. it is okey. V, How are we looking with the researcher?"

[12:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The cosmozoans did not harm her..but she said hse might be punished

[12:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believed she has been tranquilized

[12:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She is going to pay for helping us and them

[12:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Does she have family?"

[12:49] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Sometimes that's the price of doing the right thing..."

[12:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "We could beam her out."

[12:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I was unable to ascertain before i lost contact and she entered a dream state

[12:50] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That would be a further violation of the Prime Directive.

[12:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That would be a further violation of the Prime Directive.

[12:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Is it tho?"

[12:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Only a small one."

[12:50] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...We can't just beam pre-warp people onto our ship, Ensign."

[12:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I know a way perhaps to help her

[12:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We do nto know who is observing her, if we expose them to transporter technology it
could have impacts we do not understand.

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and while it is evidence...if should not lead back to u

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: us

[12:51] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "we could beam down disguised as reptillians."

[12:51] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Oh my GOD."

[12:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -considers that-

[12:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That is one option yes

[12:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: the other is to hack into the base's computer systems and flash the words THANK YOU on every screen and
monitor

[12:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: it would prove the researchers story without revealing us

[12:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "If some very fancy things where to hapend to her, it is most likely it would be atributed the
escapees, and not us"

[12:53] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh that might work."

[12:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You already hacked their code, right?"

[12:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes i have a basic enough understanding to transmit the words THANK YOU

[12:55] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Then do that"

[12:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I doubt they would be able to track it to us -nods- Ezri if you would assist me

[12:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -goes to work on the 'Thank you' protocol-

[12:56] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I will adjust the transmitter to work with their freequency range."

[12:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Ezri and then looks back to Desiree- Message ready to be deployed Commander

[12:57] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore is letting Snowflake rest on top of his head, gently petting her from time to
time. Every time she'd make a litle sound, he'd cuddle her and coo.*

[12:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Go ahead"

[12:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sends the transmission to every monitor Ezri located all over their base-

[12:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --monitors the transmission to determine level of success.--

[1:00] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *All over the reserach base, the words THANK YOU are displayed in their languag.*

[1:00] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am getting confirmation that our transmission was a success."

[1:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I would call this mission a success ma'am."

[1:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "and i got footage of the Cosmozoans for the record as well."

[1:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely. Anything new on the researcherss? Are the Cozes still safe?"

[1:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "The Cosmozoans are head out of the system ma'am they should be safe now."

[1:02] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Safe and... cozy?"

[1:02] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore takes the little fuzzy thing with two hands, taking it so it is in front of his
face.* "Who'a good little girl? Yes, you are! I love you so much!"

[1:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely, and the researcher?"

[1:03] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The tribble's little tummy rumbles noisily.*

[1:04] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Awww!" *Bore goes to take the lunch he had packed for himself, grabbing the cookies he
had on hand, and offering one to the fuzzball.*

[1:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am uncertain ma'am."

[1:04] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowflake practically inhaled the cookie.*

[1:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am.....attempting to discover

[1:05] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Aww!" *He keeps on feeding it cookies.*

[1:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ahhh contact

[1:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks to V'Tira with much anticipation.--

[1:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Ezri- Her conndition is classified....i am in the mind of a guard or military officer...this
shall be...interesting

[1:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "make him release her."

[1:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Yeah, I'm pretty sure -that's- violating a whole slew of Starfleet regs."

[1:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am attempting....reason

[1:10] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --frowns-- "there sure are a lot of regulations."

[1:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Starfleet doesn't really stand for mind controlling pre-warp sentients, Ensign."

[1:11] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "even for a good cause?"

[1:11] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He eyed Ezri.*

[1:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "just saying it seems a bit overly strict."

[1:12] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Ensign, how would you feel if someone mind controlled you into doing something against your
wishes?"

[1:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She will live....but is in trouble for violating her orders

[1:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is different. because it is me."

[1:13] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Do you even think about the things that you say before you say them?"

[1:14] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Yes. Sometimes."

[1:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "That is likely the best we can do for her"

[1:14] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Did anyone ever teach you to treat people how you want to be treated?"

[1:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "is that even a thing?"

[1:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It is, Ezri"

[1:15] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He rubbed his face some.*

[1:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V. Is there anything more in reason you think we can do here?"

[1:15] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "well huh. I mean it sounds good."

[1:16] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Just... keep it in mind from now on, Ensign."

[1:16] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "i will keep that in mind. Does it apply even to lizard people or only regular
people?"

[1:17] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Everyone, Tegan."

[1:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she thinks about that.--

[1:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She only faces imprisonment...the soldier will relay he too spoke to me..that and our message should clear
her

[1:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira?"

[1:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: or ease her punishment some

[1:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes commander

[1:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ?

[1:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Good"

[1:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Helm, set course to escort the Coz fora bit"

[1:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Commander?

[1:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes?"

[1:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Might I suggest....we might be able to briefly gain aceess to their system for a full download if we
disguided ourselves as one of them and beamed into an isolated section of their base

[1:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We are not beaming down, downlaod what you can remotely"

[1:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods at V'Tira.--

[1:22] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He stared at V'Tira.*

[1:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I merely saying....there is precident for such a mission

[1:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it is a good suggestion"

[1:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: WI appriciate your input, however we will not beam down. but what you can gain remotely is very good"

[1:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Aye ma'am.

[1:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It dosn have its merits

[1:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Helm, hold to let V'Tira see what she can download"

[1:23] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We got what we wanted, we freed the cosmozoans.  Let's call it a win and head back to our
patrol route."

[1:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: But these people are a sound first contact sandidate soon

[1:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shrugged.*

[1:24] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I think we should record tis in th elog as win."

[1:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We will not beam down, please now drop that line. I have made my decision there. if you can do things
remotely let me hear it"

[1:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Desiree- so that is a solid no?

[1:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Correct. Solid no on beamdown"

[1:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- As you wish -looks to Ezri as if to say 'we tried'-

[1:25] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at V'Tira and gives her a nod.--

[1:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -commences the full system download-

[1:27] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I have some really good recordings of the Cosmozoans, When we get back to the Citadel i will
create a  holorpogran so that i can ride one of them."

[1:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Sounds wonderful Tegan"

[1:27] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I know right?"

[1:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely"

[1:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Data download complete

[1:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely, Helm, take escort formation"

[1:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "distant escort. keep 15KM"

[1:30] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Aye ma'am.

[1:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --prepares for more recordings.--

[1:31] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I have always been facinated by space dwelling lifeforms."

[1:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Will there be time for a EVA to the cosmozoans?

[1:31] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks to Desiree at that--

[1:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Not likely. we will escort them for a while, get some time to study them, maybe communicate a bit more
with them. and ot make sure they are not attacked"

[1:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[1:32] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As the Protector heads towards the cosmozoans, the episode transitions to a social...*

[1:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We can shift to Beta watch, let them have something interesting to do"

[1:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "the firs ones I ever read about were dsicovered by the USS Adagio in the Rolar nebula."

[1:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Medlodians?

[1:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[1:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I have been interested in Cosmoszoans since then."

[1:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: For me as well...and then the Farpoint statin encounter

[1:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Ezri- As have I

[1:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "yes. classic example."

[1:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I have often pstualted how fascinating it would be with a EVA encoutner with them

[1:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I have always dreamed of that."

[1:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker, call for Beta shift please"

[1:35] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] =^= Beta watch, please report to the bridge.

[1:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps next watch will allow time for such if we keep asking the commander over and over

[1:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "my dreams never involved an EVA suit though."

[1:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Oh?

[1:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lovely work today all! Baker, you have the bridge. I have a looooong report to write" *She sighs*

[1:36] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore cuddles Snowflake, rocking her back and forth in his arms.* "Come on, baby, let's
get you something to eat." *He smiles at his colleagues in engineering.* "See you around, guys. "

[1:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I know flying in space with no suit is not a real thing."

[1:36] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Have fun, Commander."

[1:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -loks to her- what if it was?

[1:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: What is it could be made possible?

[1:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that would be wonderful."

[1:36] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It is, you just would only last about five seconds."

[1:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed....record what you can...and we will created a holoprogram

[1:37] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Sure in a holoprogram...That will have to do."

[1:38] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *As Baker takes the center seat, the relief arrives for the bridge crew.*

[1:39] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus nodded to his relief and headed out.*

[1:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is an idea

[1:40] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore replicates himself a cheeseburger. In a moment of confusion as to what tribbles
eat, he makes Snowflake a smaller one*

[1:43] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowflake trilled loudly.*

[1:44] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Awww!" *He started petting her with one hand while eating with the other, then placed
her on his shoulder for a moment, and took a selfie with her.*

[1:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [back]

[1:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Excellent work Lieutenant.

[1:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Why thank you..-cant resist - again

[1:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps this ship should be renamed the USS V'tira-Ezri

[1:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy giggles.*

[1:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- A profound way of honoring us at last

[1:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That is a mouthful.

[1:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at message- It seems Snowflake was not dead when Ezri flushed her

[1:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Snowflake is alive Mister Ristovsi has rescued her

[1:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy gives V'Tira a look.*

[1:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ezri's tribble?

[1:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It persists at being elive

[1:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and now it appears Bore is stealing the tribble from Ezri

[1:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Is this a joke?

[1:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -just looks at Cathy at that for a long momen-

[1:57] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore protectively hugs his new baby.* "I'm not letting them return you to her. You
deserve to be loved and protected, and have a happy, carefree life."

[1:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No

[1:57] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowflake had eaten Bore's burger off his plate while he was on his PADD.*

[1:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Bore is intent on stealing Snowflake...he is refusing to return the restored tribble to her

[1:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] So you are telling me...Ezri attempted to...eliminate...a living tribble?

[1:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at this- O do not believe that was done on purpose

[1:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I

[1:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: *

[2:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe she believed the Tribble was deceased and unfortunately it was not

[2:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy pushes her face towards the console.*

[2:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -merely watches as she does so-

[2:02] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You don't want to go back to her, do you, baby? You want to be safe, yes?" *He
snuggles the little ball of fuzziness.*

[2:02] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *The tribble purred loudly.*

[2:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Shall I alert security Catherine?

[2:03] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No...

[2:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: This is intended theft of property

[2:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No.

[2:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Actually it is

[2:05] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Considering what she did, I believe she forfeited the property.

[2:05] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore rocks Snowflake in her hands, instincts going wild and primal, already seeing it
as a member of his pack.*

[2:05] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Mister Ristovski claimed salvage rights.

[2:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- That is not for us to judge

[2:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Snowflake is not a piece of techonolgy

[2:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That is the judgment of your second officer.

[2:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: she is a pet

[2:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed so you are chosing to be irrational and illogical and judgemental on Ezri's action prior to
investgation

[2:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: hardly the proper actions of a second officer

[2:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I do not need an investigation, I have the facts laid out.

[2:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That is directly against regulations aboard a starship

[2:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You are about to force my hand Lieutenant...i caution this

[2:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Oh?

[2:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods-

[2:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy stares her down.*

[2:10] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore feels something wrong, pressing the tribble closer to himself, and his whole body
tensing.*

[2:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow and looks bored suddenly-

[2:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy does not back down.*

[2:11] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowflake made a little noise as she was squished against Bore.*

[2:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- as you wish then ...-her tone cold- I wish it noted for the log, I found your judgement on the
matter of no invrsigation being required to be a breach of regulations

[2:12] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore is careful not to squeeze too hard, just keeping the small being close to make it
feel protected.* "I am not letting you go into a sewage pipe again, baby. I will fight for you if I have to."

[2:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Also for the matter of the log, please not my official protest in the regards to you speculative and
questionable judgement on the actions of Ezri Tegen...regardless of what happened...we do not yet

[2:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: know why...that is why we have regulations

[2:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: of which you have broken several a watch officer can not summerally hold a Captain's Mast

[2:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Very well. Noted.

[2:15] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowflake's stomach rumbled again.*

[2:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Need I go on?

[2:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If you wish, it has been noted for the log.

[2:15] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore immediately stands up to replicate a fruit cake for his baby.*

[2:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Request permission to be relieved for watch then -her tone still cold-

[2:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Permission granted.

[2:16] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He places it in front of the tiny ball of fur.*

[2:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -spins and shuts down her station for her relief-

[2:16] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowflake promptly devoured the fruitcake.*

[2:16] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Saariv arrives to relieve her.*

[2:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns on her heel and as she walks by catherine- I am sure you can explain to Desiree why I will be
returning to my own cabin tonight Commander

[2:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I am a Lieutenant...but I will explain.

[2:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -just departs the bridge not looking back-

[2:18] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy does not look back.*

[2:21] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "She's a vulcan... she doesn't get it. I am not letting her return you to someone who
would kill you."

[2:21] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Snowflake scavenged for crumbs.*

[2:23] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "That's enough for now, baby... let's go take you to your new home, yes?" *He stands
up, heading for his room, keeping watch for V'Tira in the corridors, his body tense, as if preparing to throw >

[2:23] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Hands if need be.*
