Pilgrim 10/12/2021

[9:48][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays! *
[9:49][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The episode opens on a shot of the Pilgrim poised over the polluted world where they'd found an abandoned Beryxian complex. Off in the distance, the Enigma can be seen prowling on the system's..
[9:50][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:edge. The scene gently fades in to T'Pang in her office with a slice of carrot cake on a plate before her as she gives her log. *
[9:50][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 98502.88, The Pilgrim is still in orbit around the location of the abandonned ancient Beryxian base. We are completing data collection and hopefully we recover somethin
[9:51][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:of further use. We have deiscoved the indigenous population of the planet is a species known as the Izek, so far it seem they have not been able to detect our prescence with thier current level o
[9:52][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:technology. Which is for the best we don't really need such entanglement right now. Speaking of unwanted attention, we have had a couple close calls with detection by the Chantry, but so far we hav
[9:53][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:managed to avoid it and are being left in peace to do our work. But, in this region of space we much remain vigilent. End Lo
[9:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checks tac scan again
[9:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor is scanning around and working over data.
[9:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Hope we get going soon... this planet really bugs me out.
[9:54][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang shuts off the log recorder and puts it away.-
[9:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I hate bugs as a rule.
[9:55][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Sitting using her PADD and waiting for T'Pang* "I think that is the reason the expression 'bugs me' came about
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Or 'oh, bugger.'
[9:56][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she gets up and straightens her uniform, before heading to the bridge-
[9:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*marks the vessel
[9:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to the doctor on the way in-
[9:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"anything to report?
[9:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain There is a single Chantry cruiser on long ranve sensor it does not seem to have noticed our presence
[9:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mhm, if the Izek don't switch to a clean source of fuel in the next two hundred years or so, they're going to be some crispy roaches.
[9:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think the phrase "Bugger" may have come first... because it meant sex... No sane person would equate sex with roaches.
[9:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Keep an eye on them Mister Aquila, if they shift course in this direction let me know.
[9:58][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Looks aghast at T'Ghor
[9:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aye captain
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hrmph... the Izek seem to really like the beryxian complex.
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is hardly appropriate coversation fro the bridge..
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They often gather near it and leave offerings and the like, as if it has some religious significance.
[9:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "They're swarming it like ants on a picnic basket, huh? None of them are going in, though.
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I think the Beryxian complex holds some sort of religious significanxe for them..
[9:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It is possible the Beryxian uplifted them.
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, such is often the case with such places. 
[9:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "They did mention 'Golden Ones.'
[10:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Eren-
[10:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Or whatever they were called at the time.
[10:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I imagine Professor Vyran may have some more insight into that. He's been left to translate the data for the last forty-something hours.
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"It is hard to say what the Beryxian relationship with the Izek was. But the Izek seem to regard it in a positive way.
[10:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "If any of our people were visited by advanced aliens who started building a house then up and left, I imagine we'd have some stories about that in our mythology.
[10:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We can't know more from up here with that dampener in place.
[10:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i imagine so Lieutenant. That seems a logical statement.
[10:03][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Reason for the prime directive
[10:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Dahli-- "indeed.
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well hopefully Professor Vyran delivers his report soon. Then we can decide if we are done here or not.
[10:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Wonder what's keeping him... he should've checked in at least.
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Lieutenant T'Ghor can you please go check on the professor?
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sure thing, Captain.
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Eren, if they start having a bug orgy down there, don't tell us... we have bad experiences with those.
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He walks into the lift and takes it down.
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Don't tell me what to report on...
[10:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--has a pained look on her face.-
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] *He scoffed.
[10:08][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Face is palmed as she rubs her temples
[10:08][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Walks into the lab to check for the professor.
[10:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The chantry cruiser has stopped
[10:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They have dropped from ftl in a nearby starsystem. 4 lys away.
[10:10][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] *He was hunched over a console, tapping rapidly. The screens all had different alien texts on them.
[10:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "A bit too close for comfort. They spotted us, do you think?
[10:11][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Looking over to the Captain
[10:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"any indication as to why the Chantry might stop there?
[10:12][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey, professor... Captain sent me over to check on your progress.
[10:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Possibbly but stopping there would almost guarantee we would see them if they had. It doesn't seem logical.
[10:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i assume doctor if they spotted us they would come to this system to investigate..it is not in the nature of the Chantry to be so indirect.
[10:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Eh?" *he looked over his shoulder.* "Progress? Yes, of course... the dialect is rather... cumbersome, compared to modern Beryxian, but it's not impossible.
[10:14][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Anything stick out so far? She's trying to decide if we should fly off further on the route, or stick here a while longer.
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Aquila, all we can do for now is continue to monitor them.
[10:14][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:System ha sa main sequence star, several rokcy planets one, class M
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle advise the Enigma that we have new next door neighbors and tell them to lay low.
[10:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Yes Captain.
[10:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye ma'am.
[10:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Speaking of laying low, lets make sure we minimize our energy signature so we are as invisible as we can be.
[10:16][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Well, it would seem that this was the first planet they visited in their flight from the Chantry. At this point they were calling themselves 'Heretics,' likely in a tongue in cheek fashion
[10:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Aye captain
[10:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The Chantry vessel is entering orbit of hte class M planet
[10:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"curious.
[10:18][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.* "Probably uplifted the locals too, seeing the religion-like reverence they have for the old beryxian complex down there.
[10:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:There is life on that planet but no warp capable. We do not have detailed information outside of long range scans and interpolation
[10:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--frowns-- "The Chantry vessel is likily some sort of missionary.
[10:20][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "I am not so sure of that. They speak of the indigenous population as being childlike and innocent, but not of doing anything to them.
[10:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or seed vessel Captain
[10:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "But are they spreading religion, or something more insidious?
[10:21][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Intriguing... maybe it morphed into a religion on its own... or they are just leaving gifts in hopes the Beryxians may return someday.
[10:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is hard to say...either way that planet's fate is likily a grim one.
[10:22][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Either way, Professor, I'll bother you no logner and climb back up to talk to the captain. Thanks for the help.
[10:22][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*looking grimly back at her PADD as she goes over reports
[10:22][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Of course. You're very welcome.
[10:23][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods and walks back to the lift.
[10:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mm... maybe. Maybe not.
[10:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"In low emission mode we will be limited to passive monitoring.
[10:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He steps back onto the bridge.* "Well, captain... he's okay, just very engrossed in his work.
[10:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Heh, nerd.
[10:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"understood Mister Aquila, but that should be sufficient to determine if we have been detected or not.
[10:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Pot, kettle...
[10:25][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed Captain
[10:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Has the good professor learned anything so far?
[10:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She smirked crookedly.
[10:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And captain, so far he can tell this is the first captain the beryxians visited on their escape, back when they called themselves heretics. It seems highly unlikely they did anything to the locals, 
[10:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Though. Texts describe them as being childishly innocent, but nothing about any uplifting, so they may have developed the religion on their own. Or simply be leaving gifts for their mysterious 
[10:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Visitors in hopes of their return.
[10:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mysterious alien monument that your people build a city around... yeah, I can imagine how it'd become a centrepiece of their faith.
[10:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, even if the Beryxians did nothing to them, their mere prescence on their world would have a long lasting impact.
[10:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Of course, Captain.
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"indeed Eren, the Beryxians left behind a massive and mysterious monument..just the sort of thing that primative cultures might form a religion around.
[10:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The Chantry vessel is leaving the system on a heading away from us and different from their entry vector captain
[10:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They will be out of long range sensor range in 15 minutes
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"odd.
[10:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Hmm, that was a short visit.
[10:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps it was a survey
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"indeed a very short visit.
[10:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Checking the the cropfields
[10:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Checking on the crop to see if it's harvest time, perhaps?
[10:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"perhaps..
[10:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We are of like thought it seems Eren
[10:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "So it would." *She chuckled.
[10:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"What, you caught blight on a planet in that system? Shit...
[10:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No
[10:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But if you are needign a sufficient biomass to cultivate you mgiht check to make sure it has not faltered from time to time
[10:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "We'd have to get closer and flip on our active scanners to check.
[10:32][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Making a note she shakes her head* "that is a grim assessment, but I would agree.
[10:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"S oit is a populated planet... well, fuck.
[10:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Life signs, anyway. No telling if they're sentient.
[10:32][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Eren-- "it might be worth out time to sneak a peek at what is going on over there.
[10:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They seem to enjoy targeting sentient life.
[10:33][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"It may be that sentience is key to the power of the end product.
[10:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If I had to wager, I'd say their high priestess or whatever she's called got dumped by an alien and is now taking it out on them...
[10:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "We do have evidence that something of the psychic imprint of the people that were turned into Elder Obsidian resides and can even be accessed in extreme circumstances.
[10:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*remains, not resides )
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Let's make preparation to break orbit.
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle hail the Enigma.
[10:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Though we also know that it converts all biological matter it comes in contact with, including plants and animals. So perhaps sentience makes it... stronger?
[10:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye ma'am. On screen?
[10:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Kind of funny, right? The avynei use soul crystals... the apostates use people harvested into minerals.
[10:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Funny in the most fucked up way possible.
[10:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The LMC has a very dark sense of irony.
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--addresses the screen-- "Captain, the Chantry made a short stop over in the next door star system, very suspeicious.
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I would like to sneak over and poke around a little now that they are gone.
[10:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Arfacio came on-screen.* "We saw that too, Captain T'Pang. We should see what they were up to over there.
[10:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Great minds think alike. We'll cover you.
[10:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, Pilgrim will sneak in and look around, the Enigma should hang back in case things go south..
[10:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She chuckled.* "If you insist, Captain. We'll be ready to charge in should anything jump out and bite you.
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, that sounds like a plan, the Pilgrim is smaller and easier to hide, and we have better sensors.
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"no offense intended..Captain..
[10:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She smirked wryly.* "None taken... we'll be over here being larger with the bigger guns.
[10:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we will feel safer knowing big sister is looking out for us..
[10:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "What's family for? You take care now, keep us posted.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"roger that captain we will keep you advised, Pilgrim out.
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The screen turned back to a view of bugworld.
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm plot me a course to the edge of the next system over. As sneaky as possible.
[10:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Does make you wonder, though...
[10:43][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"At least you didn't comment about her larger frame or bigger ass.
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"So you were thinking it too, Doctor...
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Eren-- "that would be inappropriate.
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And what does, Eren?
[10:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They actually don't have bigger guns.
[10:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "If they were checking the crops, why didn't they come check on the Izek?
[10:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They can just fire them a bit longer.
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:__meant Doctor..not Eren sorry..)
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That dampener can't have kept the Izek hidden from the chantry.
[10:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checks to see if the chatnry vessel was off scanner yet
[10:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Nope... it's only covering the Beryxian compound.
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Aquila-- "I like to let them think they do Mister Aquila.
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Do we remember any insectoid planets covered in the blight?
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Maybe they just don't crystalize as well.
[10:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Maybe bugs have no souls." *She shrugged.
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"perhaps the blight is specific to humanoid species..
[10:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The chantry vessel has left our sensor range captain. We should give her another 10 minutes or so at that velocity to ensure that system and us would potentially be off their sensors. Assuming a 
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to T'P.
[10:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "Or perhaps they saw us, saw there were two of us, and opted to get reinforcements before coming back to kill us." *He deadpanned.
[10:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:similiar competency
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ancestors, you brighten up the day.
[10:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"acknowledged Mister Aquila we will give them another ten minutes..then proceed.
[10:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we need to proceed with caution the Chantry may have left behind monitoring devices.
[10:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"When they move away far enough, I will try checking, Captain.
[10:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] *He sneered at T'Ghor, but did not respond.
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will stop at the edge of the system and give you a chance to check the place out Lieutenant T'Ghor.
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"before we move in any closer.
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods.* "I'll scope it out once we are there.
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He keeps the scans to passive for now.
[10:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--checks the chronomoneter.-
[10:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She stretched as she waited.
[10:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Course locked in, ready to move on your order ma'am.
[10:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"acknowledged helm.
[10:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--drums her fingers on the arm rest-
[10:54][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*setting her padd on her lap* "How was the cake Captain?
[10:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The cake doctor?
[10:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "Captain, I believe it's been ten minutes.
[10:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm go ahead and engage. Take us to yellow alert status.
[10:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Aye ma'am.
[10:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aye Yellow Alert
[10:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"remember helm, sneaky.
[10:57][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim broke orbit and took off for the edge of the system.*
[10:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he pushed the yellow alert button
[10:57][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"The carot cake, didn't you have a slice?
[10:57][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The lights changed to indicate yellow alert on all decks.*
[10:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ready to scan once we stop.
[10:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..Yes, doctor as always chef makes a wonderful carrot cake..
[10:58][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Oh, looks like we're on the road again already.
[10:59][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Never stops
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That goes for you as well Lieutenant T'Ghor, sneaky. We are keeping this mission on the down low.
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Captain.
[10:59][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "We can only hope." *She smirked.
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And here I wanted to display a giant holographic UFP flag...
[11:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--presses the all hands intercom.-
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Don't tempt me, T'Ghor.
[11:00][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:If we do, then we have work to do
[11:01][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=Attention all hands we are making a slight detour to investigate suspicious Chantry activity in a nearby system. This will a covert recon mission so all departments are to take measures t
[11:01][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Brandt] "Eww, who wants to work?" *He asked as he laid under his console.
[11:01][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:minimize the ship's energy signature while conducting this mission, that is all.=/\
[11:02][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "...Mister Brandt, are you even working on your console or are you pretending to in order to nap?
[11:02][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Brandt] "No...
[11:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm ETA to the edge of the system?
[11:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Approaching target zone now, ma'am." *She dropped them out of warp.
[11:05][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Running passive scans for now..." *He turns the scanners towards the system
[11:05][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, Lieutenant T'Ghor get ready to give the system a good looking over.
[11:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right, if the passive scans reveal nothing I will go to a low-energy scan, hopefully we won't ruffle too many sexy nun hairdos.
[11:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Worst case scenario the Chantry may have a mission on the planet.
[11:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Handful of rocky planets, main sequence star, one class M planet... nothing suspicious so far, permission to run a low energy?
[11:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"aye go to low energy scans.
[11:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods and starts running that, looking mroe in-depth into the system.
[11:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oooh, there it is. Small probe in the Class M's atmosphere, definitely a surveillance device, and definitely chantry.
[11:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, well that will be an issue.
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If we spend some time here looking at the M-class planet, we could probably falsify data that the probe can feed them... if we can hack into it.
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"is it monitoring the surface or is it looking outward? Or can you even tell from here?
[11:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i want to avoid leaving behind any trace we were here..
[11:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can't really tell what they're looking at yet though, Captain.
[11:11][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"is it transmitting or just recording?
[11:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"if we hack their drone we risk detection.
[11:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"is it transmitting?
[11:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can't tell you anything more from this distance, captain.
[11:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"At least not with a low-power scan.
[11:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "There are no transmissions from this system that we can detect at this time, ma'am.
[11:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Alright lets warm up the mayflower..I want to go in for a closer look.
[11:13][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Mister Brandt
[11:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Brandt] "Yeees?
[11:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=Bridge to engineering=/\

[11:15][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:You will have an additional shift today, Mister Brandt
[11:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Ooh, we're going on a fiiiield triiiip.
[11:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checked the passive
[11:15][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Miss Zohle, with me to the Mayflower
[11:16][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Uh, sir? She said one.
[11:16][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:All scopes clear at the moment captain
[11:16][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We can decide who goes later...we're getting it ready
[11:16][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "...Oh! Duh... okay." *She went to get a kit.
[11:17][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*PADD folded and strapped back to her wrist
[11:17][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rolls his eyes with a slight smirk as he heads out towards the turbolift.
[11:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Aquila, Mister Tghor, Eren you are with me on the Mayflower.
[11:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Captain.
[11:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain
[11:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*called brak to post
[11:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Dahli-- "Doctor, interested in a little field trip?
[11:17][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:'If you need me on the team.
[11:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Oh, we will, someone always gets heartbroken on an away mission.
[11:18][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Can't that that.
[11:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I would like to have you to give me your assessment of the life on the planet.
[11:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "No, but you -are- licensed to dispense substances to help.
[11:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*once brak was there Aquila headed down to the mayflower bay
[11:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Their replacements soon showed up.
[11:19][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'll replicate the chocolate and the picnic basket.
[11:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Gayle you have the conn
[11:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very good doctor.
[11:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye ma'am, good luck.
[11:19][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*enteres the bay
[11:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"mayflower bay..
[11:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Swoosh.
[11:20][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Li, Zohle
[11:21][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He walks into the bay to get his gear.
[11:22][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Hello." *She smiled as she went to check on the refurbished Mayflower.
[11:22][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods and goes to check on it as well.
[11:22][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila went inside the hsip and sat down at the pilot's seat
[11:22][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--enters the bay-- "How is she looking?
[11:22][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Swings by the medbay to grab her gear, and a weapon
[11:23][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--places a hand on the hull of the Mayflower-
[11:23][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"wait where is out pilot?
[11:24][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:It's restored, just as you asked
[11:24][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Thats me captain.
[11:24][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, lets start the pre-flight checks then..
[11:24][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aye captian
[11:24][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he was midway through that.
[11:25][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Plops down next to a console which he sets up for science.
[11:25][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--enters the Mayflower and sits in the co-pilots chair, tries helping with the pre-flight checks-
[11:26][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Enters the Mayflower, and checks the medical setup to ensure available supplies.
[11:27][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Li we have distribution imbalance between the port and starboard impulse engines
[11:28][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--puts on her headset.-- "Mister Li could you check on that?
[11:28][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Aye captain
[11:29][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"First time stalking sexy nuns, Eren?
[11:29][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You kidding me? We were the premiere nun stalkers back on the Adagio.
[11:29][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm jealous.
[11:29][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You really shouldn't be.
[11:29][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Once satisfied she would have evertything she needs, she replicates a half score of chocolates
[11:30][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li heads over to a console to balance the engines.*
[11:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah? I heard nothing but good about captain Talia.
[11:30][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "She's a good kid. Needs to relax more, though.
[11:30][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...She has seen better days..
[11:31][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali makes her way to a seat, passing out chocolates.
[11:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She's an andorian, they're like, the least relaxed federation species.
[11:31][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The Mayflower...not Captain Talia...
[11:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sure, Captain.. we're not gonna tell her you said that.
[11:31][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*went through the rest of his checklist.
[11:31][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"please don't...
[11:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Dahlia and takes out a chocolate.* "Thanks, Doc.
[11:32][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at the choclate..-- "...I am not sure choclate is recommended for a Vulcan phisiology..
[11:33][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I thought they made special vulcan chocolate?
[11:33][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li blinks.* Yev..
[11:33][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Victory dance... perhaps not before the mission, you are right... but the cocoa causes a nice endorphine release.
[11:33][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li tries to do a hard reset on the power levels.
[11:33][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Li..
[11:33][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "What did you do now?" *She looked at the Bajoran.
[11:34][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Have you tried turning it on and off?
[11:34][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks back at Li-
[11:34][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:It's fine...everything is fine
[11:35][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Propusion Nominal
[11:35][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We are ready captain
[11:35][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks skeptical, but turns back toward her console.-
[11:35][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"aye Mister Aquila." --she taps the comm panel-- =/\=Mayflower to Pilgrim, requesting permission to depart.=/\
[11:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] =/\= "Aye Mayflower, permission granted. Good luck out there.
[11:40][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=/\=Acknowledged Pilgrim, keep a light in for us..=/\
[11:40][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila started the detaching process
[11:40][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** There was a THUNK and a light shaking as the Mayflower was detached from the Pilgrim. *
[11:40][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Aquila-- "take us out.
[11:41][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*laid in a course for the planet
[11:42][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*pushed hte start button
[11:42][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Keeping scans nice and low energy for now.
[11:42][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Let prepare to cloak..
[11:42][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aye captain
[11:42][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Mayflower coasted off toward the planet. *
[11:43][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Shall I engage the cloak?
[11:43][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"engage the cloak.
[11:44][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*pushed the cloak button
[11:44][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Mayflower shimmered out of sight. *
[11:47][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Atmosphere of that planet is definitely breathable. We are at too great a distance to tell anything else now that the cloak is on, though.
[11:47][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali sets her panel to mirror the sensors so she can monitor incoming.
[11:48][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Entering orbit in 5 minutes
[11:49][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Lets make a close pass by the Chantry probe, I would like to get an idea what specifically they are interested in looking at.
[11:49][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right, captain."
[11:51][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aye captain, alterign course
[11:52][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Apparently without warning, they could hear a massive BANG from their righthand side as one of their engines blew out! *
[11:52][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--facepalms-
[11:52][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li blinks and starts furiously operating his console.
[11:52][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Oh what the fuck... Li!
[11:53][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Neptunes Ass
[11:53][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"someone give me a report!
[11:53][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila quickly tried to compensate
[11:53][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Starboard engine failure
[11:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Did this shuttle not just -now- get checked out?
[11:53][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes
[11:53][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Damn..can we break orbit?
[11:54][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*strapping in
[11:55][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"
[11:55][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We'll have to land to repair it
[11:55][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Killing the starboard impulse driver
[11:56][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"You do realize the only place we can land is a planet monitored by the Chantry?
[11:56][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Compensating with RCS burst.
[11:56][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Captain we should turn back for the pilgrim.
[11:56][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Aquila was just able to wrestle the controls to keep them somewhat steady, though they were leaning hard to one side. *
[11:56][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Can't the pilgrim tractor us home?
[11:56][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We should not be that far away from it yet?
[11:56][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, Mister Aquila lets try to make it back..
[11:56][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They'd have to expose.
[11:57][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We still have propulsion
[11:57][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"However...
[11:57][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Let's see how far we can get on our own..
[11:57][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he brought them to a stop
[11:57][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Captain, we need to determine the cause.
[11:57][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She side-eyed Li.
[11:58][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"If it was not failure, we could have hit a mine. A phasic mine.
[11:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That should have left some particle residue... LEt me try and find it.
[11:58][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well let's look into that.
[11:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor runs a low-energy scan trying to find residue of a mine going boom.
[11:59][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Or some sort of spatial phenomenon. Like a dark matter micrometeriod.
[11:59][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Science, take a look at the sensor logs see if anything shows up on the logs just before or during the event.
[11:59][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I am seeing an overload in my logs...but if that was caused by an external force, I wouldn't know
[12:00][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Monitors active sensors while tghor looks at logs
[12:00][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"and overload would be consistent with a high energy impact.
[12:01][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I am definitely seeing particles that may have been the cause of an energy overload... Unsure if they are natural or the result of a trap.
[12:01][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I wil lstudy the logs too.
[12:02][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..is it something you can scan for so we can avoid them on the way back..
[12:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Definitely can, Captain.
[12:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Will mark down pockets for Aquila to steer clear of.
[12:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hrmph... logs show nothing except what I already know.
[12:03][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right lets do so. I would rather not sit out here all day..
[12:03][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nod sto T'pang and starts marking down patches of bad space he sees for Aquila.
[12:03][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*brings up the overlay
[12:03][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"So back to the barn, yes ma'am?
[12:03][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"if this is some sort of trap laid by the Chantry then they are likily aware someone has sprung their trap..
[12:04][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..yes back to the barn..
[12:04][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Patches of unstable space were indicated. They were fairly few and far between.
[12:04][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If it was a trap, there -should- have been some indication. I think it may just be an anomaly due to our location, but I cannot confirm that.
[12:05][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It should be no issue returning howeve rit is highly unlikely our cloak is perfect anymore
[12:05][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We no longer have a phase cloak on this vessel
[12:05][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila plotted a retrun course
[12:05][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "They may have already detected us, then. We're this close, we should at least get what scans we can while we're here.
[12:05][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well lets return to the Pilgrim and we can reassess this mission from there.
[12:06][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"what is the status of our engines?
[12:06][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We have the Port main impulse driver.
[12:06][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "We have one, until we get out and fix the other one.
[12:07][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"seems to me a risky proposition to continue the mission as is.
[12:08][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She shot Li a look.
[12:08][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li looks back at Eren.* You expect me to perform a spacewalk repair while under cloak
[12:08][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "No, I expect you to be keeping an eye on the engines when we already had power level problems before launch...
[12:09][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I reset the power levels, they should have been fine
[12:09][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Can't you make us another engine from bubblegum, paperclips and a zippo? That's how it works in the holos.
[12:09][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..we can analyze the failure later. Now is not a time to point fingers.
[12:09][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Captain, we could drop cloak go active for a moment.
[12:10][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Get the scans and then claok and flee. our exposure would likely not be long
[12:10][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The question I need answered is if the Mayflower is up for a quick sensor pass of the planet or if returing immedialy is our best option.
[12:11][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Think you could... wing it, Mister Aquila?
[12:11][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That sounds risky with all the uncertainties, Lieutenant Aquila... but the sensors work, captain. If the engines can handle it, I have no problem grabbing what we need quick-like.
[12:11][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Yes captain. We could likely do that.
[12:12][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"T'ghor, I'll back you up.. alright?
[12:12][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets do a quick sensor pass, but lets give the Chantry probe a wide berth. with our cloak questionable we don't want to get identified as a Federation ship.
[12:12][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Besides, it's more likely than not that the probe is there to monitor the planet. It may have even been there already and they were just maintaining it.
[12:12][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:: Right, Doctor.
[12:12][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Aye captain
[12:12][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If possible, doctor, you keep an eye out on the people and the red blight. I'll look into the planet and structures itself.
[12:13][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Of course
[12:14][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Li keep a close eye on our remaining engine and the power systems...we don't have any margin for error here.
[12:14][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Aye captain
[12:15][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"alright lets make this happen people..
[12:15][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Aye, ma'am.
[12:16][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Engaging pass
[12:16][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Firing up sensors.
[12:17][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--sits there and looks pretty for the camera.-
[12:17][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The shuttle kept trying to veer off in the wrong direction, but Aquila was able to hold it steady for now as they entered the planet's atmosphere.
[12:17][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*T'Pang was the most attractive vulcan on the shuttle.
[12:17][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Scanning.
[12:18][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"grab all the data you can..
[12:19][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Aye ma'am" *Monitoring sensores
[12:19][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Dali and T'Ghor, roll
[12:21][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Truly lovely and abundant ecosystem... really mountainous and difficult terrain... And one of the biggest volcanoes I've seen on an inhabited planet.
[12:22][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"About 21.5 km... Almost the size of Olympus Mons back on Mars.
[12:22][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very interesting, I doubt the Chantry were here for sight seeing however.
[12:23][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nope... I am not seeing anything... suspicious yet though, captain.
[12:23][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..Just focus on gathering as much data as you can right now, we can analyze it all later.
[12:24][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Small cities, nera wetlands... thankfully, no sign of the blight.
[12:25][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is good..
[12:25][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor turns his attention to the population centers too.
[12:25][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mm, probably just means they're waiting for those small cities to become large cities.
[12:25][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... I'm trying to discern a technological level.
[12:28][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, stick me up a nun's ass and call me a buttplug... The technology looks like Beryxian and Chantry, but mimicked... as if someone tried to recreate it.
[12:28][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Attempting to pull in as much data about the life forms as possible.
[12:28][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How is our engine looking? Power levels stable?
[12:29][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We could hold orbit.
[12:29][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I am seeing paved roads and the buildigns are powered by electricity... Very small buildigns though... Half the size of what one might expect. Like hobbits live inside.
[12:29][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"
[12:29][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Hobbits?
[12:29][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Uh... midgets from a fantasy book really famous on Earth.
[12:29][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets hold orbit for a bit, give our science people the time to bring in as much data as possible.
[12:30][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Aye captain.
[12:30][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "T'Ghor, check out this crater I found.
[12:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He starts trying to find actual chantry or beryxian tech, not mimicked ones, looking through both population centers and nature.
[12:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Huh? Crater? Where?
[12:30][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She sent him the coordinates.
[12:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You seeing what I'm seeing?
[12:31][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"crater? from an asteroid impact?
[12:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Shiiit. I am.
[12:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No, Captain... it looks like one of the ancient bombardment craters.. from the last war.
[12:32][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting. if this planet was bombed they must have been more technologocally advanced in the past..
[12:33][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yet their technology does not seem to be their own, but a dingy copy of beryxian and chantry... curious.
[12:33][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Could they have foudn remains of old chantry ships?
[12:33][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Or have been given the tech..
[12:33][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "So close to the first planet they tried to settle too while they were on the run...
[12:33][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... Doctor, can you match up the people's biology to beryxian or chantry?
[12:35][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'm recording all of the data I can on them... but not seeing any that match either, they seem to be of an avian species.
[12:35][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Huh... definitely uplfited then. By chance or by choice.
[12:36][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the last war was some 2 million years ago. This species may be a new comer..
[12:36][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Could have been by pure luck of finding some old toys left over from the battle.
[12:36][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Not all toolmakers necessarily make their first tool, but pick up a tool left by another.
[12:36][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Exactly... as I said, may be by chance.
[12:37][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Still uplifting of a kind.
[12:37][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"indeed. chance or perhaps given to them.
[12:37][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"They could have been modeling after artifacts they found, functional or not.
[12:38][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We should not linger here too long...
[12:38][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the Chantry may be alerted to our prescence here.
[12:38][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I am trying to find actual beryxian or chantry remains on the ground...
[12:38][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He scans around
[12:39][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Wrap up your scans, we should head back to the Pilgrim.
[12:39][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The shuttle rocked lightly with atmospheric turbulence, but Aquila would be able to fight the controls to compensate.
[12:40][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Aquila nervously-
[12:40][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Rgiht, Captain.
[12:40][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'll play with the data when I get back home... get the professor looking too.
[12:40][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We are fine for now..
[12:40][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"But we should head back soon.
[12:40][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, lets set a course for the Pilgrim, while we are still fine.."
[12:41][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Keeps her eyes on the sensors incoming till they dock
[12:42][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Switching back to passive, no need to make ourselves even more visible.
[12:42][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we are definitely going to have to give the Mayflower a full over haul..
[12:42][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Didn't you just get one?
[12:42][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I thoguht we had.
[12:43][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well the engineers from the Protector put her back together...
[12:43][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li tries to prevent another surge.
[12:44][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets focus on getting home in one piece.
[12:44][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If I die due to a shuttle crash and not a sexyt evil nun, I will be massively disappointed.
[12:45][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I'll make sure my next host tells everyone you did, anyway. Your legend will live on.
[12:45][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You're the best, Eren.
[12:45][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*shakes her head
[12:45][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Don't I know it.
[12:46][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He sends off a text, then starts running the data over again.
[12:47][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Eren read the text and rolled her eyes.
[12:48][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*plots the return course
[12:48][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Course back to pilgrim plotted
[12:48][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Take us home..
[12:49][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he tried to take the mayflower back to the pilgrim and avoid rocks
[12:49][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, we definitely have some fun things to look over back home... I am curious about that crater.
[12:49][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** With Aquila compensating for their busted engine and Li being a super attentive good engineer, the Mayflower headed on back to the Pilgrim as the end credits music played them out. **
