Protector 4/1/2022

[9:16][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...
[9:18][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The camera pans and shows the crew quickly board the Manta, and jump into slipstream. It zooms in on the mess hall as Marucs gives the opening log...
[9:19][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Captain's log, supplemental. The longest week ever continues as we've been begged for assistance by an old... frienemy? Regardless, let's hope we make the right choice here. End log.
[9:20][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus hit a button, the holographic interface coming to life and displaying the image of the Kirtascan home world of Kirtas, currently being consumed by a fleshy red substance across its continents
[9:21][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore winces as he watches the holo.
[9:22][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"This is the current state of Kirtas, folks, or the most recent we've been able to get. This is why we have so many refugees in the Citadel rifght now.
[9:22][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow as she studies the image
[9:23][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"The Tanausan Imperium swooped in while the Kirtascan Expeditionary fleet was on drills across the sector. They ripped through the Kirtascan defensive fleet and reduced their numbers almost by half.
[9:24][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Now, the Expeditionary fleet is approaching their borders and has requested that we help keep the rest of their worlds from becoming," *He pointed at the holo.* "This.
[9:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The hologram pulled out to show the rest of the Kirtascan empire, with two other inhabited worlds highlighted.
[9:26][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"right, so what is the game plan here?
[9:26][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I'm sure he's gettin' to that, Ezri.
[9:27][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"right, sorry.
[9:28][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*On the screen used for Marcus' presentation, a picture in picture broadcast starts in the upper right hand corner, as the figure of an Admiral comes into view.
[9:28][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks momentairly between Bore and Ezri and then back to Marcus
[9:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus checked on his PADD.* "No, it's a good question, Tegan. Admiral, care to answer?
[9:28][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Admiral] We have to ensure that the Kirtascan Empire can keep their remaining worlds in line
[9:29][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-rubs the bridge of her nose at that
[9:29][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--for a split second Ezri misunderstand and thinks she was just promoted to admiral..then sees the admiral on the screen and frowns.-
[9:29][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He eyed the admiral.* "Uh, under their control, you mean, sir?
[9:29][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Admiral] Of course
[9:30][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Just one ship isn't going to make much of a difference, though, sir.
[9:31][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Admiral] We have designs on including other members of the 22nd in this effort. It will depend greatly on the status report I am about to receive on the state of the Pilgrim
[9:31][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks at the table top and briefly considers what damageit might sustain if she ramemd her forehead into it
[9:31][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Blinks.
[9:32][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy reaches across to grab her hand.
[9:32][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The pilgrim got fucked sideways, that's not a repair that's done in one week." *He whispers to Dame.
[9:32][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks to Catherine asn encloses her fingers around cathys hand gently as she listens
[9:32][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He side-eyed V'Tira, then looked back at the Admiral.* "Then we're being sent ahead to... assess the situation while you rally the others?" *He offered.
[9:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--gives V'Tira a look, as if to say its solid Duranium, it will hurt-
[9:33][DOIC6]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*On the Citadel, T'Ghor in a clown costume was amusing refugee kids by slamming headfirst into a table and denting it.
[9:34][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Admiral] Correct. We hope to have enough ships in the sector by the time you are finished to hold it
[9:34][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he merely shrugged at Bore
[9:35][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Understood, Admiral. We hope to have an updated battle map for you before you send anyone else in to the fire.
[9:35][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Raises his hand.
[9:35][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Ristovski?
[9:35][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"How well can we actually transmit a battle map and keep people updated, though? ACCI still being jammed, or are there workarounds being found?
[9:35][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Admiral] This all came together very quickly after an urgent request from the Kirtascan Expeditionary Fleet. We are trying to shift things around so the Citadel will remain properly defended as well
[9:36][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's my understanding that we have a workaround for the time being, though we'll likely have to keep adjusting it. That'll be V'Tira's duty.
[9:36][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Right." *He nods.
[9:37][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Admiral] I won't lie to you, this is a tough spot
[9:37][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's why you sent us, Admiral." *he smirked.* "Anything else we should know, sir?
[9:38][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Admiral] That's all I have. Good luck, ladies and gentlemen
[9:38][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Any further questions for the Admiral?
[9:39][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Shook his head.
[9:39][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame looked at the others
[9:40][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Thank you, Admiral. We'll get it done." *he nodded crisply.
[9:41][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Admiral] Godspeed. Citadel out
[9:42][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Did an admiral just use gendered language on us?" *Once the call cut off.
[9:42][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy gives Bore a look.
[9:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Once the Admiral was off-screen, he rubbed his forehead for a moment.* "He's from a different generation, Ristovski. In any case, hopefully our intel can help the Kirtascans from a fully..
[9:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:Imperium occupation.
[9:43][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Yo use foul language constasntly and you are worried someone would be offended by the term ladies and gentlemen
[9:43][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy laughs heartily.
[9:44][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Foul language does not assault a person's identity, V'Tira!
[9:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Do you have any specific order for us sir?
[9:44][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to Marcus= The work around is using a base Unity code send to us by Veeri from the Sentine
[9:44][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Hey! Not important, you guys.
[9:44][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:It will take a little time to adapt it to our systems but it will wor
[9:44][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Neither does using the term Ladies and gentlemen Bor
[9:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I don't know why they wont let me play with Unity tech?
[9:44][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Ermmm..
[9:45][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Grinned at V'Tira, then turned to Blai
[9:45][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I had thought you humans had grown not to fear word
[9:45][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We'll drop out of slipstream and go into stealth operations. We'll assess the world of Irial first." *he pointed to a world between the Erebus Expanse and Kirtas.
[9:45][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I heavily advise caution being this close tot eh effects of the Erebus Expans
[9:45][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"right, I am ready to kill some Tannies.
[9:45][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Grinned at V'Tira, then turned to Blaine.* "Damian and I will keep this thing running as quiet as a romulan in a torture chamber.
[9:46][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he blinked looking over at Ezri
[9:46][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"So long as we don't go into the Expanse we should be fine. But let's avoid it as much as possible regardless.
[9:46][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods
[9:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Sir has command replied to my report on the possible value of out of phase weapons against Chantry and Tanasuan defensive systems?
[9:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Baker, have they?
[9:48][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-slowly looks up at Ezri and then over to Marcus and then cathy
[9:50][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Cathy smiles.* They would like to see evidence of it in action before offering an official recommendation
[9:50][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Of course..only command would demand to see the use of weapons we have no persmiion to use before they give us permission to us
[9:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--lets go of a long suffering sigh.-- "now that is a catch-22 since I need their approval to begin testing to get that evidence.
[9:50][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Of course..only command would demand to see the use of weapons we have no persmiion to use before they give us permission to us
[9:50][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We'll see if we get an opening after our stealth operations are over, then, Tegan.
[9:50][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he gave Bore a look
[9:50][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:How can we use them initially without permission first
[9:51][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"thank you sir.
[9:51][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We can just say it was all command's fault.
[9:51][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks back at the tble top again at this
[9:51][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Heat of battle, things get chaotic.
[9:51][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:Mhmm an accident.
[9:51][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ezri, you tell me and Damian what you need and we'll set it up.
[9:51][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:This confirms a theory I hav
[9:51][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] What is that
[9:51][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he nodded
[9:51][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:that someone in the command chain above us is a ravinglunati
[9:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He eyed V'Tira.
[9:52][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore grins.
[9:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Regardless... we should be arriving soon. Anything else we should cover now?
[9:52][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] ...interesting
[9:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I don't know Compton seems a little unbalanced.
[9:52][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Ye
[9:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Anything relevant to the operation, V'Tira?
[9:52][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nothin' from Engineering, Commander. Keep the ship running smooth and quiet, get Ezri her stuff ready.
[9:53][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Do we have any update ont he garrisoning force of the Imperium and possible response times to our arrival to these worls close to them
[9:53][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Of course...eveerything I say is relevant sir
[9:53][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Now dame most definitely did give Bore a look
[9:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Intel suggests they're using Kirtas as a staging ground. One of its moons had a military base that has been reported taken over. They're bunkering down, likely going to keep their command carrier.
[9:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:there and send out packs of Prowlers to do the rest of the work.
[9:54][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:A logical approac
[9:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"And one that means we can hopefully keep at least one or even both of the other worlds free, at least for the time being.
[9:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Yes..while we wait fo command to repair our flee
[9:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-said dryly
[9:55][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:and find those shipss still missin
[9:56][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Very much so. Well, you all know what to do. Anything else can be said on the bridge. Let's move out.
[9:56][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"aye sir.
[9:57][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:'You got it boss."
[9:57][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Gives V'Tira a look.* "Bigot." *And walks out.
[9:57][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Karen -replies
[9:57][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus got back onto the bridge.* "ETA, Wiebe?
[9:58][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*wanders the hall, a padd linked in, she seems absorbed in some work.
[9:58][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-sees six- Shay I have need of your assitanc
[9:58][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] We are about arriving imminently, sir
[9:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri enters the bridge and heads to the scinece station-
[9:58][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Yes, of course.
[9:58][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Walks into engineering.* "Right, everyone! Ezri will be sending us a neat little package soon, but for the time being, I want all of us to focus on running the ship all nice and quiet-like. Don't 
[9:58][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Right. Tactical, be prepared to cloak us immediately upon exit.
[9:59][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Let the clap of our booty cheeks alert the blue balls!
[9:59][DOIC3]V'Tira@Isis:-sees six- Shay I have need of your assitanc
[9:59][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Hunkler] Aye sir
[9:59][DOIC3]V'Tira@Isis:I am not ..disturbing you am I
[10:00][DOIC3]Six@Gonz.:"Yes, of course... you are not disturbing me... what disturbs me is I haven't broken that encryption yet."
[10:00][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:*Dame let out a sigh and went to work beside Kara
[10:00][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore went to work on his central console, going to ensure the cloak's status.
[10:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Tegan, how's our periscope looking?
[10:00][DOIC3]V'Tira@Isis:I can assist with such....we have been given a workaround to the jamming effect on the ACCI..it came from the Sentinel...Veeri has used a base Unity code she got from Val and Yng
[10:01][DOIC3]V'Tira@Isis:We will need to adjust and adapt the code for our system
[10:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"systems online and all reading green
[10:01][DOIC3]V'Tira@Isis:We then should have limited use of the ACCI systems and coms to command oncemor
[10:01][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Alright. Where the hell is V'Tira?" *He looked over at the door.
[10:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i don't know sir, she left right after I did..
[10:02][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] I do not know either
[10:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"maybe she got stuck in the lift?
[10:02][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Dropping to subspace..
[10:02][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "Bridge to V'Tira, we're dropping from slipstream, I need you on the bridge now.
[10:02][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta drops out of slipstream into subspace, and immediately vanishes from view.
[10:03][DOIC3]V'Tira@Isis:=^= Aye sir..I am currently bringing Shay up to speed to anable our correction to the ACCI systems..as requested si
[10:03][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "Well then update her as you walk to the bridge...
[10:04][DOIC3]Six@Gonz.:"On our way.
[10:04][DOIC3]V'Tira@Isis:-followes
[10:04][DOIC3]Six@Gonz.:"Back in a skirt I see." *she smiles
[10:04][DOIC3]V'Tira@Isis:[eeep! i forgot again! ill roll with it :P ] -looks at herself and pauses- ...ye
[10:05][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*reports to her station and logs in
[10:05][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Time to do your thing, Tegan. Wiebe, take us in. Let's see how the chessboard is laid out tonight.
[10:05][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-enters the bridge with Shay and moves over to her console
[10:06][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--does her thing.-
[10:06][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Shay, as information on the Tanausan positions comes in, I want to relay them directly to the Kirtascan fleets. Can we do that without being caught?
[10:06][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Aye sir.
[10:06][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-begins her work with shay to free up the ACCI systems by using Veeri's work around
[10:07][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta begins to approach the orbit of the world of Irial.
[10:07][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--taps on he console, collecting and correlating sensor data-
[10:08][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:'What do you call a million dead tanausans?
[10:08][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I think we can sir, with the ACCI functioning.
[10:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Very good, Shay.
[10:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods
[10:08][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"But I will be sure to set it up as burst transmission, so it may only appear as a microsecond of interferance.
[10:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded.* "I like it.
[10:09][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Is this going to be a war crime joke
[10:09][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:No Bore, no ones going to bite back into your terrible jokes again.
[10:09][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*She just nods to what Damian said.
[10:09][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore pouts.* "You guys are no fun.
[10:09][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We picking up any Tanausans in the system?
[10:10][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:It's not exactly Risa out there.
[10:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--checks for any members of blue man group in range.-
[10:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-continues her work on the workaround cose with Shay
[10:12][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"That's why we gotta make our own fun. If we are morose all the time, we'll grow less efficient.
[10:12][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks into the spock scope in a dramatic fashio for the camera-- "So enemy contacts at the moment sir.
[10:12][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:**No not S
[10:12][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I take it the Kirtascans are building up a defensive perimeter here?
[10:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-checks for the Kirtas fleet deployment to assess
[10:14][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:I guess we can settle for dad jokes? Or the officer of the month gets the chance to pin the tail on the chief.
[10:15][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:Just throwing other ideas out there.. *he watched the feeds to ensure everything was running well
[10:15][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-sends a text as well
[10:15][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I don't do dad jokes, I'm too young... and if anyone else gets to pin a tail on me, Nadine would string me up by my own intestines and beat me like a piñata.
[10:15][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine looked around the bridge.
[10:15][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Baker] Planetary chatter seems they are also digging in defenses
[10:15][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:We don't need to tell her.. Snitches get stitches.
[10:15][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:..ye
[10:16][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore laughs at something he sees on his console.
[10:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Alright, I think we have a picture of this system then. We can move on to the next world..." *he checked his PADD.* "Sidese.
[10:19][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Once we have those two... I think it'll be high time to head down to Kirtas and see what the Tanausans are doing.
[10:19][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Aye sir
[10:19][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Course laid in
[10:19][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Engage.
[10:19][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Weelllll...girls talk, you know
[10:19][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta jumps into warp.
[10:20][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-sends another text
[10:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus sat there and looked inspiringly pretty.
[10:22][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:You would.. *he looked at Kara once and shook his head, disappointed
[10:22][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] You wouldn't understand
[10:22][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods at a received text
[10:22][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore looks up from texting and shakes his head.
[10:22][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Not cool, Kara. Not cool.'
[10:23][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] What? It's a girl thing
[10:23][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:But.. like why
[10:24][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore chuckles down at a text, then nods to Kara.* "Yeah, really, why?
[10:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--glances at Marcus and is oddly inspired.-
[10:24][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Loose lips sink ships... And destroy marriages." *He adds that last part quickly.
[10:24][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Because we gossip
[10:24][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:Isn't that like highly scandalous
[10:25][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Uhhh...no
[10:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-to Marcus- The workaround is in place sir...ive sent the code to Shay as well...we should now have coms up for both encoded and encrypted messageburst
[10:25][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Why do you gossip though? Can't you guys talk about football, or something?
[10:25][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:Most definitely leads to more drama.. right Bore
[10:25][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Dame.* "Exactly.
[10:25][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Kara gives Bore a 'you must be joking' look.
[10:26][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Very good, V'Tira. They deserve to know what's going on in their borders.
[10:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looksback once at Marcus sitting there and then immediately diverts her eyes back to her console
[10:27][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:I think they prefer talking shit behind ones back.
[10:27][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-swallows and composes herself- Yes..once shay finishes her adjustments we will be able to do s
[10:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He tapped on his PADD for a moment until his hand began to tremble slightly. He set it down again and watched the viewsacreen.
[10:28][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Man, Kara. Really, you can talk about so much. Football, cooking, the new shuttle models... speaking of, Damian, did you see the last "Low altitude" broadcast just before the war?
[10:28][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Cooking?!
[10:28][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah?
[10:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"How far away is this system, anyway?
[10:28][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] We're about to arrive, sir..
[10:29][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Taps away at her panel, setting things for the information to be sent
[10:29][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I mean, seriously, these last model vulcan shuttles have automated altitude control even when you're not in autopilot... shuttles are losign their soul, I tell you." *To Damian.
[10:29][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Good, good... I don't imagine we'll have as easy a time here as we did at Irial.
[10:29][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Be on alert.
[10:30][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"What's wrong with cookin'?

[11:38][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:And done.. saving the design into our engineering log for future use now.
[11:38][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Not for long...

[11:38][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He jiggled his leg and stared intently at the screen.
[11:39][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The probe departs the Manta, and it quickly recloaks.

[11:40][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Fuck me. Let's hope Ristovski's probe blends in.
[11:40][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"They don't know what it was, just caught something anamolous
[11:42][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Enemy ship is scanning the area
[11:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Move us back to Irial for now... we'll make our report and hopefully the probe stays hidden.
[11:43][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Wiebe] Aye sir
[11:43][DOIC]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*The Manta jumps to warp.
[11:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He leaned back in his chair, frowning slightly.

[11:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He facepalmed.* "How long until we're at Irial? And what is our probe telling us, if anything?

[11:48][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:=^= "Did you just confuse her for a romulan just cause she has pointy ears?
[11:49][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:Man has no backup up there.. Damn shame.
[11:49][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It was a joke... because she was giving medical advice." *He hung his head.

[11:50][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-winces at that new useof swearing- and that is on our logs no
[11:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am still reading the probe. it looks like it avoided detection sir.
[11:50][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Thank you, let's hope it stays that way for long enough to be useful.
[11:50][DOIC2]Damian@the5of43:Damn right it did.. Point for team PERV.
[11:50][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nice job.
[11:51][DOIC2]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] We are /not/ team 'PERV'

[11:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He couldn't hide a smirk.* "Don't abbreviate it to that... but yes.

[11:54][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I'm suprised they wanted to perv on them, instead of just giving them the finger.
[11:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"In our hearts.
