[6:11][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme is replaced by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-6FyeyeGMM again tonight... *
[6:12][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Talon of Beryxia soars between Imperium stars once more alongside her Marauder counterpart. Those gazing out into the alien abyss cannot help but feel a chill; be they from the Milky Way..
[6:12][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:where they are all too aware of being even further away from home than they’d become accustomed to, or those from the Dawn Alliance who have been plunged into the lair of those still actively..
[6:13][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:worshiping an adversary their ancestors have struggled against since before their first trembling steps to the stars, to even the Imperium’s refugees whose hearts cannot help but cycle between..
[6:13][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:trepidation and zeal at the thought of engaging their impossibly cruel former subjugators. We fade in on the bridge, bathed in a muted cyan light as the Talon remains alert for any sign that their.
[6:14][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:deception is unraveled, and T’Pang’s log plays... *
[6:16][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 100272.71, We have been in Imperium space now forover 24 hours without any major incidents. Altough there have been some close calls. We are folling the route given us b
[6:18][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain Son, and his intelligence has proven invaluable, but with the chaos created by Allaya taking over the Orazaul gate from them had disrupted all the regular patrol schedules. leading to th
[6:20][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:the mentioned close calls. We are reaching the midpoint between the systems of Zypenia and Simiria. This is the point Arfacio plans on taking her maurader and splitting off from us to conduc
[6:22][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:operations of her own, the details of which she did not reveal to us. This will leave us to continue on our assigned mission alone. This will at least allow us to take full advantage of our cloak
[6:23][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:But, we will be operating on our own behind enemy lines. While Arfacio assures me we can call her for help, i am still beginning to feel the massive weight of this duty on my shoulders. i have n
[6:24][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:choice but to trust in my crew and unfortunately this ship which holds so many terrible memories for me. End Log
[6:26][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm, ETA to seperation point?
[6:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm, ETA to seperation point?
[6:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "About ten minutes, ma'am.
[6:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang hands off the log recorder-
[6:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"very good steady as she goes.
[6:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] *The chubby Simirian scientist was sitting next to Orestes.* "So, wait. They take this cream-filled pastry and then they fry it in oil?
[6:27][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-runs her sweeps as they move deeper in the den of their enemy
[6:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, yeah. Then they dust all sorts of stuff on it. Chocolate, caramel, powdered sugar...
[6:28][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles as she over hears the dicussion
[6:28][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Sitting at a station helping sciences with sensor analysis, she tries to get everything they can before going full passive.
[6:28][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin tilted his head some
[6:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I love the Zypenian moons. Merides in particular, their beaches are warm all year long.
[6:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"a warm beach sounds good right now.
[6:32][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-shakes her head as she listens while studying her readouts
[6:33][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:My Kaptain..long range sensor repor
[6:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"what did you find leftenant?
[6:34][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:I am showing sparse civilian traffic between Zypernia and Simiria, it ist easily explained by the current chaos and the confusion it created. However long range sensors show a patrol that appears t
[6:35][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:be moving off towards Simiria at a increased pace..
[6:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"is this a regularly schedules patrol, that is one Son infomred us of or an unscheduled event?
[6:38][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:They are a fixed patrol Ma'am. As they are assigned to this area..howver they are moving towards Simiria far sooner then they are expected to be. I vould guess something is occuring there
[6:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"keep and eye on the situations leftenant.
[6:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Simiria is practically Tanausa's back yard... perhaps they perceive an attack now that the gate has been hijacked.
[6:40][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:They still may ot yet know who took control of their gate...and fear a rebelion brewing
[6:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Or a rebellion taking advantage of the chaos.
[6:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "We've managed to liberate plenty who were able to rebel on their ships... those who couldn't may have gone home and sewn the seeds there." *She smiled at the thought.
[6:42][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia sincerely hopes there will be no need for medical intervention during this mission... but isn't confident in that.
[6:42][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:That is vhat the Party vouldve thought vhen ve vere a regim
[6:42][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to ain at that
[6:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i have no doubt that in the wake of this chaos one of the chief concenrs of the Imprium will be maintaining order.
[6:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It is..." *She paused a moment, then checked something on her PADD.
[6:44][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Let them tug on the chains..in time..they vill findmore and more of their subjects are tugging bac
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "...Well, isn't that fitting. It's an Imperial holiday today.
[6:44][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks hearing this
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "Wait... it's not the Emperor's birthday -now,- is it?
[6:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting. What sort of holiday?
[6:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It seems we've come to deliver the ultimate gift, Captain.
[6:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She outright chortled.
[6:45][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Vhat ist the human saying..'Hail Satan?
[6:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"how delightful, I do love a good party.
[6:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She flashed Elise the devil horn fingers.
[6:46][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to her- ..and make al the kinder happ
[6:46][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I always thought those who worshiped the dark would be more like, Jehova's witnesses, no decorations, celebrations or icons.
[6:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "You honestly think a species with an ego like the Tanausans wouldn't celebrate their Emperor's birthday?
[6:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is often the case doctor that our initial conceptions are often wrong.
[6:47][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:I prefer how humans perceive her..a fat man dressed in red..delivering prsents to good little boys and girls
[6:47][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:They mock he
[6:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "They're probably blasting the propaganda reel about it right now all across the Imperium instead of anything to do with the gate.
[6:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that would make sense, the last thing they want their people to know is that the imperium has lost control of anything.
[6:49][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-chuckles- boy are they in for a surprise the
[6:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"new like that tends to pread whether they want it to or not.
[6:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Indeed." *She checked the ops console.* "Arfacio is hailing, Captain.
[6:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"put her on.
[6:49][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"A surpise for their holiday, I prefer hanuka, eight crazy nights.
[6:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She hit the button.
[6:50][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to the doctor- Yes 8 nights of fine food und present
[6:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She appeared in the captain's chair next to a young grey woman again.* "Looks like our paths diverge here, Captain. I'll try and finish up on my end early so I can come back you up at..
[6:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:the finish line, but if I don't... have fun.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that time already? its going to get lonely out here without our travelling companion.
[6:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She chuckled.* "You'll make better time without having to worry about us, T'Pang. And the sooner you hit your target, the better for all of us.
[6:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That is true you were kind of slowing us down." --she says deadpan.-
[6:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She just smirked at that.* "Careful, another century and it'll happen to you, too.
[6:54][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks at this
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"indeed it is inevitable. I will have to hurry up and complete my mission while i am still young.
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "I think we'd all appreciate that. Any last requests before we let go of your hand?
[6:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Panf stand and faces the screen. she gives the traditional Vulcan salute-- "peace and long life to you captain.
[6:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"beyond that i have nothing else captain.
[6:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She stood as well, taking slightly longer to get up but snapping a salute just as crisp as a woman fifty years younger.* "Live long and prosper, T'Pang. 	Ciao, ti saluto.
[6:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Her image was replaced with the marauder's PBIAB custom screen.
[6:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you captain and i wish you good fortune on your mission and as the Kzari say good hunting.
[7:00][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to that
[7:01][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The marauder broke off from the Talon and was soon out of sight. *
[7:01][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin touched his cheek suddenly
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang glanced toward istrin-
[7:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Krinn] *She eyed Istrin and smirked.
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Everyone stay sharp we are on our own deep in enemy territory.
[7:04][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he glared at Krinn
[7:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Krinn] *That just made her grin.
[7:05][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Kaptain...it appears they are going in the direction of Simiria as vell..
[7:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Indeed, Captain.
[7:05][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she took her seat again-
[7:06][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-sets a passive tracking feed on the Maruader now
[7:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"let's see if we can avoid any imperial entanglements on ou way to the objective.
[7:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "That would be ideal, ma'am. Now that we can use the cloak that should make it even more likely.
[7:07][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"That's not a moon.." *she chuckles to herself
[7:08][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:You mean avoid not just the local bulk cruisers but the big imperiums ships as vell? -to T'Pang
[7:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "No, it's the Emperor's mother," *she smirked.
[7:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang raised an eyebrow-
[7:09][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Better that than a battle station.
[7:10][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:My Kaptain..
[7:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes leftenant.
[7:12][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-double checks her sensor readout display- I am now tracking a rather large civilian hauler on its way out of the Zypernia star system. Their course andheading appear to be roughly in the directio
[7:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I figure if the Tannies had a Death Star, it would be in Beryxia at this point.
[7:12][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:tha the Talon is currently on....corevar
[7:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She tapped on her console.* "That course suggests they're en route to the Acanath mining station. They may have made a delivery to one of the Zypenian moons... or stopped for repairs..
[7:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:coming back from another location. Varna would be most likely.
[7:15][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Please tell me Varna is thier version of Risa
[7:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "No such luck, it's known primarily for its military academy.
[7:15][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Great" *sigh
[7:16][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:to train their best und brightes
[7:16][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-said deadpanned
[7:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We have no time for a beach vacation anyway doctor.
[7:16][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:TGo be honest..i have never been to a beach mysel
[7:16][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Eh, just thought, a lot of people coming back from Risa, have risa-mind for weeks. Would be a good mood, but unfocused.
[7:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "If they stopped on a Zypenian moon... that's a possibility.
[7:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Regardless, a civilian hauler's going to be easier to avoid the attention of than a starship.
[7:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She looked at Elise.* "We're going to Risa after the war, then. No arguments.
[7:19][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles and nods- Understoo
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "We'll easily outfly them anyway, Captain. We'll probably pass their station well before they do.
[7:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Perhaps it is my human half, but i find beaches relaxing.
[7:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"thank you helm.
[7:22][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Ve could use them as a sensor screen if ve could get in their vake unnoticed
[7:22][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Vear them like a hat perhap
[7:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Everyone finds beaches relaxing. The sound of the waves is a total womb-noise, soothes even the angriest little baby.
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Vulcan doesn't really have beaches, so as a people they are not beachgoers.
[7:23][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-to Orestes- Ve had lovely beaches I am told once..long long ago on Kzar...but they are long gone
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It may be worth it, Captain. If we slip into cloak and head under them no one would be the wiser.
[7:23][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to Ain
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "It'll go slower, though. So there's that trade-off.
[7:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very well engage the cloak and lets shadow that ship
[7:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yeah, fucked up how that goes, huh? Don't worry, we'll find you a beach and even get you one of those sandcastle forming buckets.
[7:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Aye, captain.
[7:26][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Talon shimmered out of sight as they cruised over to fly under the belly of the big hauler. It was slightly larger than the Stalker, but far bulkier with multiple cargo pods also attached..
[7:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles and nods toher friend and chuckles- A sand castle..i think i vould like to try tha
[7:26][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:to its exterior. Every so often, the engines flickered out but then reignited immediately afterwards. *
[7:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:she is a decent size ist she no
[7:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"a rather large and bulky craft. i am not sure how well maintained it is however.
[7:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "That's pretty normal. Sey and I used to work on a ship like that before we were drafted. It depends on how cheap the company that owns it is.
[7:30][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I'm getting a weird range of emotions over there captain.. Excitement, fear even, but also a huge amount of curiosity toward something not onboard ma'am
[7:31][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- they have heard..
[7:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting.
[7:31][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:My Kaptain..they must have heard rumor
[7:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is a distinct possibility leftenant.
[7:32][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:how fragile such a system truly is...it is beginnin
[7:32][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles back at Ain and Len
[7:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Perhaps..." *She seemed skeptical.
[7:32][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Rumors, the only communication that travels faster than subspace radio.
[7:33][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-looks back to her console- Javohl Doktor...it ist how it began fur u
[7:33][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"My father used to call it skuttlebutt. Funny name for it, but it made sense at the time.
[7:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am sure alliance command will do everything they can to ensure that word spreads as fast as possible.
[7:34][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:The oppressed vill do the job far better..Alliance Kommand need only continue to beat on the Imperial nav
[7:34][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Yeah, I'm sure they have some type 6 com probes blastinging it out on all channels till they are found and destroyed.
[7:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She crossed her arms.
[7:35][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Any chance of us tapping into the local com chatter out there
[7:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I'll see what I can do." *She uncrossed them and started tapping away at the console.
[7:36][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Looking to operations also having that question on her mind
[7:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "The freighter seems to be receiving a transmission... it shouldn't be hard to crack it, if it's civilian. If science would lend a quick hand?
[7:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, only if it's quick.
[7:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks at that
[7:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "Easy enough." *He sat up and got to work.
[7:38][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-double checks on the Marauder's progress as it grows nearer to Simiria if still possible
[7:39][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-a soft feline like hiss and she logs OSR to the tag now
[7:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "Alright... and... there we go. You should have it.
[7:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She took out a listening device and plugged it into her ear.
[7:40][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang watched with interest.-
[7:40][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*curious or not, tries to focus on astrometric sensors, .. too easy to get distracted.
[7:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "...Well, I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't that. Captain, it sounds like they found something in the Acanath mining facility.
[7:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"found something? any indications of what?
[7:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "Acanath is a veracysium-rich asteroid field ma'am... it was a planet once, but it was destroyed in the last war.
[7:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "An 'elder obsidian fossil,' ma'am. I'm not sure what that means.
[7:44][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"something that did not turn into red goo when the blight hit I bet.
[7:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "I've heard of that. They're extremely rare, they occur when the blight biomass encases an object but can't penetrate it.
[7:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "Usually the biomass consolidates and leaves most of the non-organic material behind... this is what happens when that doesn't go to plan.
[7:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Now that is interesting. Such an object would be an interesting thing to study.
[7:46][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I bet it is interesting, any chance we could, sniff around a bit on the way?
[7:46][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-looks around interested in this as well
[7:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"probably not doctor the risk of detection is too high.
[7:47][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:But vhat if it ist something ve can use
[7:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Also a chance it's just some poor asshole's airtight outhouse, preserved for the last two million years.
[7:47][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Und again it may not b
[7:47][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*nods* "Perhaps on the way back then, if we are not running for our lives?
[7:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will shadow the civilian vessel for as long as we can, perhaps we can learn more while we do.
[7:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It sounds like they haven't opened it up yet, ma'am. They're waiting for the Imperial Navy to send someone to check on it.
[7:49][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods- Ja my Kaptain -smiles- Fortune often faovrs the boldestof jaeger
[7:49][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-snaps her head around to Ain- Ve are in an Imperial ship..und ve have Bre
[7:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Indeed, Leftenant, but if the captain says we don't have the time, we don't have the time.
[7:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"has any imperial ships responded yet?
[7:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "No, captain. They're wondering what's so damned important that they can't send someone.
[7:51][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to Ain- Ja und i vill of course obeyher..but until she does.I shall press for any advantage..it ist myduty to he
[7:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She nodded her horned head back.
[7:52][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'd love to analyze it, perhaps help in the fight against the blight itself. From a medical perspective.
[7:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Can we spoof a communication from an Imperial ship, let them know we are on our way to check on the object.
[7:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She glanced at T'Pang with a smirk.* "If you wish it, we can do it, Captain.
[7:54][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:This might vork..considering it vould be low priority at this time.at least until the chaos at the gate dies dow
[7:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Indeed. We could also communicate to them that they're to cease any communication about the object until we can arrive. That would at least mean that other ships wouldn't show up to try..
[7:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"let's do this. i am curious. its a civilian facility they can't be that much of a threat.
[7:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:and take it until we can return.
[7:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Good thinking, lets do that.
[7:57][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods- a good idea Ai
[7:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Formulating the message now... and sent.
[7:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(T'Pang, roll
[8:00][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Uhm.. they're mad.. like really mad now on the other ship now.
[8:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She touched her earpiece and frowned.* "I'm getting that sense as well.
[8:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Ain-- "what are they saying?
[8:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "To us? They sent a simple acknowledgement. Between the station and the ship? They're arguing over it... it seems there was some trepidation about getting the navy involved.
[8:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She smirked.* "Oh, that was a good one...
[8:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i don't blame them.
[8:03][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-chuckles-Ja those pesky navie
[8:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Captain... we could potentially use this.
[8:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How so?
[8:04][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Heavy hand them, make them resent the authority more?
[8:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Most of the people aboard these operations are non-Tanausan. Tanausans view the work of labourers to be beneath them.
[8:05][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes, and how can we use that?
[8:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Possibly. Or we could forward them my list and turn a veracysium mining operation against the Imperium.

[8:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we have no idea what it is.
