Sentinel 2023/04/23

[5:37][DOIC]Teir@liorexu:** We join our heroes once more on the Citadel as they find themselves in the Goldenrod club, the Beryxian spirit still burning brightly in the throngs of dancers and revelers as they celebrate the..
[5:38][DOIC]Teir@liorexu:recent wins for their fellow Alliance members and hope for their own in the near future. It seems that nearly every species in the Alliance has shown up today to drink in their triumph. *
[5:39][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*ynga nursed a mead at the bar
[5:39][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the izarian blonde woman made up for the event lookign far more modelesque than normal
[5:39][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] *The ever-shirtless Beryxian bartender was doing bottle tricks for the delight of the patrons.
[5:39][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Leans against the bar and nurses a cocktail.
[5:39][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri is out clubbing with Zhal-
[5:40][DOIC3]Ankos@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Was off to the side, trying to see if he can peddle any homemade hooch to anyone interested for a modest sum.
[5:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i like this place, they have nice music.
[5:42][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*eye'd the two people form the manta across the bar
[5:42][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"It's a nice beat, and nice drinks, the views are nice too." *He winks at Ezri and then glances at Jaryn as he takes another drink.
[5:42][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Ankos, platinum blonde again, stepped up to the bar after leaving the dance floor and watched Jaryn's tricks.* "When you're done, get me a white beryxian.
[5:43][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*sips her drink bobbign her head to the music
[5:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--waves at Yngrid-
[5:43][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] *He flipped his hair and smiled at Ankos.* "Right away," *he said, rolling a bottle along his bicep before starting to concoct the drink.
[5:43][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*glancign at the beryxian dancers and wavign her hand to send them tips
[5:43][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she moves over to be next to ezri
[5:43][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Hey Ezri.
[5:44][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*Some blue bastard appeared at the bar, waiting for Jaryn to finish.
[5:44][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"What a show-off." *He smirked and sent a tip to Jaryn.
[5:44][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Shiny outfit
[5:44][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"The show is half of the experience for Beryxians," *he remarked to Ankos.
[5:44][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Holography or something more analogue?
[5:45][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I know. Hoped I'd get a chance to visit. Maybe after the war.
[5:45][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she looks down at her outfit...no holgraphic its just naturally shiney material.
[5:45][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] *He winked at Ankos and garnished it with a lovely blue flower just barely draping over the side of the shimmering glass, then set it before Ankos.
[5:46][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] "Thank you for your patronage.
[5:46][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Its looks good.
[5:46][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she sips her drink
[5:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah it really popular club wear.
[5:46][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"It's worth the visit, and Beryxians tend to bounce back quickly from tragedy. Hopefully this will be no different.
[5:47][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"It was Zhal right? The Manta's pilot?
[5:47][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Ankos returned the wink and took his drink.* "Thank you for making it so easy." *He chuckled and took a sip, then nodded to Teir.* "Right. I'm rooting for them. Hopefully the kzari armada will get 
[5:47][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"The job done. Name's Ankos.
[5:47][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*ynga looks at Zhal* "THink we met last time before you guys headed out.
[5:48][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Thats me, and I think your right.
[5:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I can't remember if we met before or if I just read some of your science reports from the Sentinel.
[5:49][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"maybe both.
[5:50][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Oh ezri we met at the summet on the yandan colony."
[5:50][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Last time we had a little beach downtime.
[5:50][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He inclined his head slightly to Ankos.* "Teir. And we will see; it's rarely so easy. However, with Tanda no longer an active front, surely command will be more inclined to commit to Beryxia.
[5:50][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Also a few times here an there.
[5:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh yeah, that's right. Sorry a lot has happened since then.
[5:51][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Your reports are always interesting to read... so much redaction.
[5:51][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she teased
[5:51][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Takes another long drag from his drink and then sets the empty glass on the bar.
[5:51][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"really? I don't remember redacting any of my reports.
[5:51][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] *He headed over to Zhal.* "Need a refresher?
[5:51][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"I have a feeling its Dr Rendino doing so.
[5:51][DOIC3]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Off on her own in a little science lab working on her project for the pixies. Reassembling after testing the power conduits, now testing micro=servo's for movement.
[5:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I don't think she like me or my work that much.
[5:52][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Teir.* "Onto happier topics. How are you finding the beryxians? I think they're much closer to us betazoids than to you andorians?" *He chuckled.
[5:53][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*He glanced up and down Jaryn's torso and smirked.* "I'm good, thanks." *He cleared his tab and smirked.
[5:53][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"I wouldn't take it personal, i think its more some of the things you pull all she doesn't want other lesser minds getting any ideas.
[5:53][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Jaryn another Mead
[5:53][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she looks at the bartender-- "Hey Jaryn can I get a drink something sparkly with bubbles...preferabbly pink.
[5:53][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*A very subtle smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.* "That doesn't mean I can't appreciate their spirit and talent.
[5:54][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] "If you say so," *he winked at Zhal, then went to fetch Ynga's mead.* "Sparkly, bubbles, pink... I think I know just the thing.
[5:54][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Got damn good taste, then. Then there's their... fashion sense.
[5:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..how can they stop being lesser minds if they don't get ideas?
[5:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"You'd be surprised.
[5:54][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Been thinking of getting my nipples pierced again just so I can buy something of theirs.
[5:55][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i often am surprised.
[5:55][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*Teir squinted slightly at Ankos.* "Yes... that -does- seem much more Betazoid," *he said dryly.
[5:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Starfleet science is usually very good about building individual contribitors nto very good about understanding specialization and team composition.
[5:56][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] *He set down a fizzy pink drink in front of Ezri. In the strobing lights it did actually seem to glitter. Ynga was served a mead as well.
[5:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"You end up with people with a passing knowledge of computer science having to handle computer science tasks and ones with the most basically knowledge of orbital dynamics and planetary sciences
[5:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:coming up with all sorts of things.
[5:57][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I know, right? I'd have bet they're a long-lost cousin species if I didn't know better.
[5:57][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*sips the new mead
[5:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"though in here i suppose everyone is a bit of a specialist on heavenly bodies.
[5:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri nods as she look at her pink fizzy drink-- "i kind of have to be a jack of all trades science wise on the Manta.
[5:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she waved at the beryxia dancing
[5:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Yeah me too though part of that is well not really bar talk.
[5:59][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri waved at the Beryxian dancers.-
[6:00][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Eyes the Beryxian dancers and smirks.* "I should have wore better clothes.
[6:00][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Got ambushed by two dancers, trying as politely as possible to slip on by on his way to store his earnings and get more booze.
[6:00][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"So Which is your poison flyboy?
[6:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"This drink is awesome..I like the way it reflects the the lighting in the bar.
[6:00][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she gestures to the beryxian dancers
[6:01][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"It's a signature of Beryxian artwork. Their scultures, buildings, even their musical instruments have the same light reflecting properties.
[6:01][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"It's in honour of their ancestors who turned toward the light." *He drank.
[6:01][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"There are so many choices, I don't like to limit myself.
[6:02][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Not a bad way to be. Keeps your environment target rich.
[6:03][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He eyed Bore, but did nothing to save him.
[6:03][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she she teases* " tipping another set of dancers
[6:03][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Ankos looked to Yngrid adn smirked.* "Gets boring after a while. But then we discovered a new galaxy.
[6:03][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Ankos right, i think i was at your bachelor party.
[6:04][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Exactly." *He chuckled to himself.* "But next time we are here, I may need to dress better.
[6:04][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*He nodded.* "Yeah. You're Ynga. Ynera worked with you a while before moving ships.
[6:04][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Thats right.
[6:04][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"She hanging out in the pools taking advantage?
[6:05][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Tried to tip the dancers to get them to get away, causing them to move even closer, and defeatedly sat back down in the lounge.
[6:06][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, tonight it's something like spa night for her. She and her pod-sisters went to some algae skin therapy thing.
[6:06][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Glances at Bore and chuckles.* "Wonder if I should go bail him out.
[6:07][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"He got him into that mess... let him lay in it," *he smirked at Zhal.
[6:07][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*himself )
[6:07][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Yes, but he isnt pissed at you most days, it might get me off the shit list.
[6:08][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He considered this.* "True enough. Though the question becomes if you think you could take on two dancers at once.
[6:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*He winks at Teir.* "I like a challenge.
[6:10][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*he gave Zhal an approving nod.* "Then go forth and save your shipmate... and watch out for their legs. They are -deceptively- strong.
[6:10][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"They are.
[6:10][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"You have to remember to use silk.
[6:10][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He hid a smirk by taking another drink.
[6:11][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she sipped her mead
[6:11][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Pushes off from the bar and starts toward Bore.* "You alright?
[6:11][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Andorian frost spider silk makes a particulary good rope material.
[6:11][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri sipped her pink sparkly drink.-
[6:12][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:[Bore] *Slipped another bit of latinum into the male dancer's thong and nodded.* "Yup... Just trying to escape with my profits from the "passionwater"
[6:12][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"I'm aware," *he remarked lightly.* "Assuming one is properly prepared. Otherwise security cuffs still do the trick.
[6:13][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"This drink is good.
[6:13][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Security cuffs? Nope. Someone ends up losing a key or forgetting a combination, every single time.
[6:14][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks over at Zhal, Bore and the dancers.-- "its good to see those two making friends.
[6:14][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He looked at Ankos, unimpressed.
[6:15][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Reached into his jacket pocket and pulled to strips of latinum and slipped it into both dancer's thongs.* "Alright, I'll take them off your hand so you can keep your profits.
[6:15][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"It's true. There was this security human on my cadet cruise... I had to end up getting a site-to-site naked out of the cuffs because of him.
[6:15][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"You even start witha eky?
[6:16][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "Good man, Zhal.' *he slipped right on by while the dancers got distracted.
[6:16][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Security cuffs are easy to hack.
[6:16][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she looks over at Ankos-- "its true, they really are not that secure.
[6:16][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Or simply override.
[6:17][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Guides both dancers out to the floor, and called over his shoulder.* "I owed you more than one.
[6:17][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I don't know shit about hacking... And that guy said he can't do shit because that'd get him caught utilizing equipment improperly.
[6:17][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Then again, he was a cadet too, so he was probably shit.
[6:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i mean usually when I am aressted I don't try to escape. But, I could if i wanted to.
[6:17][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Well i suppose thats a thing i didn't get since i was never at the academy.
[6:17][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:[Bore] "We'll count this as one andd a half.
[6:18][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"No, Ezri, it wasn't exactly an arrest.
[6:18][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"My Doctoral work, well there are these clubs on Izar that are more like... well not really clubs like this more like clubs for discerning people.
[6:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh a kidnapping then?
[6:18][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"One would hope such miscalculations would be well enough in the past to no longer be considered a factor." *he drank.
[6:18][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Guiding both of the dancers to the dance floor. Zhal placed himself betwen them and began to dance close with both.
[6:20][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she sipped her mead
[6:20][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Well, I generally tend to prefer to replicate vine-silk. It's a betazoid classic.
[6:21][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Betazoid are often to fragile.
[6:21][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"The people, or the silk?
[6:21][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"YEs.
[6:21][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*he laughed.
[6:22][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"You ahve to remember Izar is almost a quater higher gravity than Earth standard.
[6:22][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Big words from a human. I've discovered trill tend to be the most durable non-warrior species.
[6:22][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Oh. So you're not human?
[6:22][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"I am Izarian.
[6:23][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"My bad. Look pretty human.
[6:23][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"We may look human but we are well 300 years of adaptation.
[6:23][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"I'd say we aren't quite a different species but muscle density and strength is much higher than an average human.
[6:23][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"So, bigger bone density, what else?
[6:23][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:'Right.
[6:24][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Muscle, fast twitch fibers, and above human average intelligence.
[6:24][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Izar was a very hostiel world.
[6:24][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Extreme temperatures, famines.
[6:24][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Major volcanically active.
[6:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"well that sounds unpleasant.
[6:24][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"So why'd your ancestors settle it in the first place? Sounds kind of terrible.
[6:25][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Hostile worlds tend to breed hostile people," *he remarked absently, half-listening between the talk and the music.
[6:25][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Well they set out of the post atomic horror of earth on sleeper ships.
[6:25][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"So they weren't exactly leaving a hospitable world.
[6:25][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"And alot fo them were from scandanavia.
[6:26][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"And Iceland.
[6:26][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, but I mean, they'd have probes and stuff scout out the planets before actually boarding the ships and setting off, right?
[6:26][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Not really
[6:26][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"It took the first settlers 100 years to reach izar.
[6:26][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*As the heat continues on the dance floor Zhal ditches his jacket and shirt and continues to pulse, and grind his body with his counterparts.
[6:26][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"I think you're underestimating the limits of their technology and desperation of their situation.
[6:27][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Teir.* "Maybe.
[6:27][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"The 2nd wayve arrived 15 years after the first, the thrid fourth and fith wave swere all warp one vessel
[6:27][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"after colony establishment.
[6:27][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"under the circumstances I think you have to take what you can get.
[6:27][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"We weren't really a lost colony just an independent one.
[6:28][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Still, doesn't sound like a great place to be. No offence.
[6:29][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Well we tamed it.
[6:29][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"And until the Iconians bombarded it form orbit. It was quite lovely.
[6:30][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"I imagine they are almost finished rebuildign New Seattle. Garth city will never be rebuilt as its basically a monumnet to Izarian resolve, the only thing that has been rebiult is the starflee
[6:30][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:war college there.
[6:30][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Those Iconians were jerks. I don't care how advanced your technology is that is just rude."
[6:30][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Still Izarian are probably a dying race.
[6:30][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Dying does not mean dead.
[6:30][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"With so many fo us migratign to the stars and other worlds after the bombardment. The next few generations will lose what made us unique and we'll just be back to being humans.
[6:31][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"If a child isn't raised in ultragravity through their formative yars the muscle adaptatiosn don't really happen.
[6:31][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I dunno. I imagine with a starfleet college and stuff you will get human immigrants, who will intermingle with you and that will eventually lead to more izarians.
[6:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Maybe once we are no longer stuck in the LMC you can come to Trill and some of what makes us special will rub off on you."
[6:32][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Most oftworld buildings have grav stabelizers.
[6:32][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"I actually ahve been to trill.
[6:32][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"You only lose that which you cannot hold on to. Even if the adaptations fade, the impact of your planet and your people will remain.
[6:32][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"I studied there for a year.
[6:32][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Trill is wonderful.
[6:32][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Trill is pretty nice. Vacationed there twice.
[6:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah they have good schools. Really competative though. Especially if you are trying to get a symbiote.
[6:33][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Yeah felt bad for a lot of my classmates with that pressue.
[6:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it did make Starfleet academy easier though.
[6:34][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*smiled
[6:34][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:'Yeah. Can't understand living near beaches like that and wasting your time away worrying about whether or not you get a belly buddy.
[6:35][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Speaking of bellies
[6:35][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she tipped the very fit beryxian woman dancing
[6:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she leans and looks at Ankos-- "its a Trill thing. A big part of our culture. There is a pretige that comes with being one of the few to be selected for a symbiote.
[6:36][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I know. It's just... Very difficult to imagine to outsiders.
[6:37][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Brings both dancers even closer to him slipping another bit of latinum into their outfits as they dance closer and seductively.
[6:37][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i don't blame you reaqlly.
[6:38][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He quietly brooded with his drink.
[6:38][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Really i thought betazoids lived with the same level of judgement from their mothers.
[6:39][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Eh. I got out of the house before my mom's... crazy... settled in. It only gets bad after a certain age.
[6:42][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*chuckles
[6:42][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*watches a dancer
[6:43][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*The dance floor was heavily crowded now with the crowds that had gathered for the dancers on stage and the ever-present music.
[6:44][DOIC3]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Watches as the power in the lab flickers. "Maybe I"m over doing the power checks." The locale power grid flickers berfore she gets it under control.
[6:44][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*On the center stage was a golden woman in an antigrav field, her hair and jewelry swirling around her as if she were dancing underwater.
[6:45][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:*Ankos cheers as he turns his head to watch the anti-grav stage.
[6:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--turns and watches the show on stage-- "well that looks fun.
[6:46][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"They will let you try ezri.
[6:46][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Continues to dance and glances up.* "Well, how about that." *Zhal handed off antoher strip of latinum and then tried to slip off the dance floor.
[6:46][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Just go sign up.
[6:46][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Shoudl show off that outfit.
[6:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"maybe later.
[6:47][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*The crowd would part to let him pass, but he had to brush against a lot of boobs and butts to get there.
[6:47][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*The crowd would part to let him pass, but he had to brush against a lot of boobs and butts to get there.
[6:48][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Jaryn, something harder, three fingers Vodka.
[6:48][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Returned to the bar shirtless and leaned against it.* "Alright, I wanna do the antigrav dancing." *Sweat dripped from his hair and he pushed his hair backso that his sweat didn't get on the bar.
[6:49][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] "Now the party's getting started," *he winked at Yngrid as he started spinning the bottle, serving it up quickly.
[6:50][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] "We've got the signups right here," *he grinned at Zhal and passed him a PADD.* "We have plenty of other services, too. And private rooms, should you need one.
[6:50][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Seems fiting for a pilot Zhal. I was just telling ezri they let you sign up.
[6:50][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Speaking of that commander, I suggest we install some poles in teh setninels gym. Candy is always monopolizing the one in the delta gym.
[6:50][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Great for core strength.
[6:51][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*Teir glanced at Ynga with that.* "I tend to agree, we had a few on the Pilgrim.
[6:51][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"And takes up less room than a rock wall.
[6:51][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Took the PADD and signed his name and slid the PADD back. He smirked at Jaryn.* "I could use a drink too, really whatever you have that is strong and sweet.
[6:52][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I got one in my room on the adagio.
[6:52][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Didn't come as standard, of course.
[6:52][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Strong and sweet, I think he wants tequila.
[6:52][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Or rum.
[6:53][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Either really.
[6:53][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"a pole in your cabin, that seems like it would just be in the way.
[6:53][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"That dance floor is hot in more ways than one.
[6:53][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] "I have something comparable. Lyssean Paradise." *He served up the layered, colourful drink to Zhal.
[6:53][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Adagio has large rooms i'm guessing.
[6:53][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Adagio rooms are rather big.
[6:53][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"She's a very big ship.
[6:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"My first service was on the Halley, she was a rhode island
[6:54][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Smiles and takes the drink taking a large drag to quench his thirst.
[6:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"I had a very small room i shared with another ensign.
[6:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Right, I forget it has been a while sice I was on a ship with cabins bigger than a walk in closet.
[6:54][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"When I first came aboard the Pilgrim they had me rooming with a Vulcan. It went about as well as you'd expect.
[6:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"And orion woman actually. And lets jsut say hotbunking with an orion is... and adventure.
[6:55][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I shared with another counselor at first, then got a room of my own when I made full lieutenant, then got married and got a bigger room now.
[6:55][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"The pheromones end up on the sheets.
[6:55][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"that sounds horrible...
[6:55][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Of course, part of it is flooded, but you know. You get used to it.
[6:55][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Orion pheromones are weird.
[6:55][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"If your heterosexual they give you a headache.
[6:55][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"if your not....
[6:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Pleasant dreams.
[6:56][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"The silk comes out?" *he gave an amused smirk.
[6:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Eventually.
[6:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"She was very shy.
[6:57][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Some people just need the extra time.
[6:57][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i don't have to worry about that, no one wants to room with me.
[6:57][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"I thought they had to take pheromone blockers if they serve.
[6:57][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"They do during duty hours.
[6:57][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"But that doesn't extend to when they are sleeping and they sorta have to have time off form them for health reasons.
[6:57][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Think of it like Vulcanoids and olfcatory blockers.
[6:57][DOIC1]Ankos@bulgariandragon:"Man, being an orion must suck.
[6:57][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Oh I am sure someone wants to room with you Ezri, just think of all the science stuff you'd get up to with a roomate.
[6:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"They can run those 90 percent of the time but they do have to stop or they dull the sense.
[6:58][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah, its hard to find volunteers for experiments.
[6:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*chuckles
[6:59][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"That's also a good sue of the silk rope.
[6:59][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"He said roommate... not volunteer.
[6:59][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Have to find someone likeminded.
[7:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"its been a while since I had a like minded room mate..not since the academy.
[7:00][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"What was she like?
[7:00][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He lapsed into silence again, watching the dancers.
[7:02][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"You know..." *He looked at Teir.* "You can always participate.
[7:02][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"The commander is participating.
[7:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"she was really smart, she was medical.
[7:02][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He slowly looked at Zhal.* "Observation is as much a part of the ritual.
[7:02][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Yeah, the boring part.
[7:03][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"SO what sort of shenanigans did she get you up to?
[7:03][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"I do my dancing in combat, or in private." *He gave a slight chuckle.
[7:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am not sure i should say anything.
[7:04][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Chuckled at that.* "There are always private rooms.
[7:05][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Why not?
[7:05][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Zhal you have to remember Andorians are all quad groupings.
[7:05][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"I was not offering you a show," *he said, amused.
[7:05][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Most of it was classified by Project Salvation when we were aressted.
[7:05][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Ah.
[7:06][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Wait...
[7:06][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"What was yoru roomates name?
[7:06][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Oh, I'm aware, and I dont need the show. Just saying you can have a good time if you want.
[7:06][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Patricia.
[7:06][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Oh.... And um she's serving on the sentinel right now isn't she.
[7:07][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Patricia is on the Sentinel?
[7:07][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"And for the record, the quad is for mating... recreation has many different forms and combinations." *He finished his drink.
[7:08][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*The woman stepped down from the antigrav stage.
[7:08][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Chuckles.* "Good to know, that you all can have fun too.
[7:09][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] "Floor is yours if you want it." *He told Zhal.
[7:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Yes! This is gonna be fun.
[7:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Starts off towards the antigrave stage.
[7:10][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Uh We have a dr patricia black.
[7:10][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"And she's very excentric.
[7:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"that's her! I was wondering where they put her.
[7:10][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Practically runs to the antigrav stage and gets ready to float through the room.
[7:11][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Yeah she's on the sentinel.
[7:11][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*As soon as he stepped onto it Zhal would be lifted up off his feet, weightless as the crowd cheered for the new dancer.
[7:11][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she sighs-- "its good to know she is okay.
[7:12][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*claps for zhal
[7:12][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*He starts spinning through the air like in a break dance in the air flipping and twisting as he moves through the air.
[7:12][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--turns to watch Zhal zero gee dance.-
[7:13][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*Teir's brows rose slighty.* "He has... spirit, at least.
[7:13][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:(Roll Zhal
[7:15][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*Zhal found that he could do this rather effortlessly, the antigrav taking a moment to get used to but it was clearly on a low enough setting that it could be easily managed by random drunks in a..
[7:15][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:club.
[7:15][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Pilots are like that.
[7:16][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Righting himself in the air he spun and started to 'moon walk' and bop to the electric beat of the club.
[7:17][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"You'd hope so. Particularly when it counts.
[7:17][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"He's on the Manta, it certainly counted recently.
[7:17][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Yeah.
[7:18][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*finishes her vodka
[7:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah Zhal really pulled through when counted.
[7:18][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*The crowd cheered him on enthusiastically for his strange alien dance moves.
[7:19][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"all that and he can cook. The captain said he sis definitly keeping him...me he is still thinking about.
[7:20][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*Teir looked at Ezri.* "Why would that be?
[7:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am annoying.
[7:20][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*He spins through a series of random moves lowering himself just above the crowd as he keeps shuffling and dancing. The smile on his face clearly visible as was his laughted.
[7:20][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He paused.* "I would say that term applies to the majority of officers I have encountered.
[7:20][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*laughs
[7:20][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Yes.
[7:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am not as annoying as V'Tira..so i at least have that going for me.
[7:21][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"V'tira? The blonde vulcan?
[7:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she noids-- "yeah that one.
[7:22][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Have you considered, and I know this is a long shot... not being annoying?
[7:22][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i try..I really do.
[7:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I think the captain has a low frustration tolerance level.
[7:23][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Well, the key to changing your behaviour is to uncover why you do the things you do. Only then can you modify yourself accordingly.
[7:23][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Rotates through another series of dance moves, and starts doing the snake keeping his movements timed to the beat.
[7:24][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*tips zhal some latinum
[7:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--nods at Teir-- "that is really wise...
[7:25][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*Someone tossed a beach balloon up at Zhal, and it floated around him as he danced.
[7:25][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Inverts himself and swivles his hips to spin himself like a top as he keeps dancing, as the beach ballon enters the antigrav field he tries to keep it bouncing around him.
[7:25][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Whoever thought of it certainly was," *he remarked.
[7:26][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i suppose so.
[7:27][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Hey Ingrid could you do me a favor.
[7:27][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Mh." *His antenna twitched subtly and he got an ice water from Jaryn.
[7:28][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Sure what is it.
[7:28][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Also Ynga, only my mother calls me yngrid.
[7:28][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Well and Captain Shantal.
[7:29][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh sorry..What do you like to be called?
[7:29][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Ynga.
[7:29][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"On Izar i'd actually just be called Yngrid or Ynga, my last name is a patronomic.
[7:29][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Listening will probably help with your issue," *he said dryly.
[7:29][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Okay Ynga.
[7:29][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Zhal bounced the ball around him then began to spin faster, and faster and then kicked the ball back out into the crowd.
[7:30][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:(Roll Zhal
[7:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri looks around the bar as if checking the coast is clear before leaning in and and speaking in a hushed tone to Ynga.-
[7:31][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*He landed the kick and the ball was bounced enthusiastically around the crowd once more, though all the movement combined with the alcohol was bringing along a subtle feeling of nausea.
[7:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"when you see Patricia next time tell her Ezri says hi.
[7:31][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Of course!
[7:32][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:"Okay... bad idea. no more spinning." *He slowly rights himself and goes back to simply dancing while trying to soothe his nausea.
[7:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"But don't tell anyone..especially Aquarius.
[7:34][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Who is Aquarius?
[7:35][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh yeah that is Captain Elizabeth Razzors special secret code name.
[7:35][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Oh okay.
[7:36][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"...Okay, I think you need to stop talking now," *he said coolly to Ezri.
[7:36][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she nodded* Yes ezri. We don't need to break opsec
[7:36][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Continues to dance in the antigrav dance floor and signals that he was ready to come down.
[7:37][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:*The settings were lowered so he could safely depart as the crowd gave him a last round of applause.
[7:37][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Once he touched down he took a few minutes and the started back to the bar.
[7:37][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:[Blaine] "Not bad." *His voice came from the side as Zhal stepped down from the stage.
[7:38][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:"Commander?" *Zhal blushed slightly and smirked.* "Didn't see you there...
[7:39][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Well don't tell them I said anything.
[7:39][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:[Blaine] *He was in his usual off-duty red leather jacket, shrugging slightly.* "That was kinda the point. Laying low until they drag me off to another command meeting.
[7:39][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:[Blaine] "But, glad to see you're doing better, Ensign.
[7:40][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"The point is more that you should think more carefully about these things before you say them.
[7:40][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she sips her drink
[7:41][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:"You'll be fine sir, you got us home." *He gave Marcus a smile.* "Don't worry about me sir, I'm still getting sorted, just need to take some time off.
[7:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I do think about it. But it makes a conversation hard when you have to redact every other word.
[7:42][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:[Blaine] "Yeah..." *He trailed off, glancing to the side before back at Zhal.* "Worrying about the crew's kind of my job.
[7:42][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Then perhaps you're speaking to the wrong people when you make conversations like that.
[7:43][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Well this calls for one solution.
[7:43][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Zhal stepped toward him.* "True, but you also need to take care of yourself. Without you it isn't the Manta.
[7:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"perhaps. I will be more careful in the future.
[7:44][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:jaryn blue motherfuckers all around.
[7:44][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"We drink till we forget the opsec violation.
[7:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am not sure that is how memory works.
[7:45][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:[Blaine] *He cracked a smirk.* "I'd say the same thing about the crew, Ensign. I'm just the asshole who got left in charge of it.
[7:45][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:[Blaine] "But don't let me keep you from your evening. You all deserve to let loose a bit after that shitshow.
[7:46][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:[Jaryn] "Coming right up!" *he began the intricate bottle-juggling process.
[7:46][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"It is if you try hard enough," *he chuckled.
[7:46][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"Sure it is.
[7:47][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Zhal winked at Marcus as he flipped a latinum strip to him.* "So do you." *He started off back towards the bar.* "Besides, at least one of us should get laid tonight.
[7:47][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri looks skeptical-
[7:47][DOIC2]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*t'lena comes up and sits down next to blaine refreshing his beer after zhal headed back towards the bar
[7:47][DOIC2]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[T'lena] Think he was propositioning you
[7:47][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:[Blaine] *He caught the strip, chuckling.* "He knows better.
[7:48][DOIC2]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[T'lena] *chuckled and clinked her fauxhito with his beer
[7:48][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*The drinks were laid out for them.
[7:49][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Passed by the three at the bar and waved.* "You three have a good night." *He started towards the door meeting up with the two dancers he lured away from Bore.
[7:49][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she waves to Zhal-
[7:49][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"well that is a pretty blue color.
[7:49][DOIC2]Teir@liorexu:[Blaine] "Besides, a crush on your CO's kind of a right of passage for some ensigns. Maybe when I give him his next pip it'll settle down.
[7:50][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:"Good night, Mister Zhal," *he nodded to the trill.
[7:51][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri picked up the drink and held it up to compare it to Teir.-- "..is close.
[7:52][DOIC1]Teir@liorexu:*He squinted at Ezri.* "Are you calling me a blue motherfucker?
[7:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh no I would never do that.
