[5:57][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme is once again replaced by the current arc theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-6FyeyeGMM *
[5:57][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** We open on the Talon of Beryxia, freed from the sunset orange haze of the nebula as it prowls silently through the black reaches of space. We see her skirting the Oort cloud of a humble little..
[5:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:border system, its volatile star lashing out every now and then with thin red ribbons of hot gasses that quickly recede back into itself almost as soon as they’d begun. As she passes them by we..
[5:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:fade into the interior, where we can see our heroes at their temporary stations aboard the former Imperium vessel as they near the end of the current watch. T’Pang’s log can be heard as a voice..
[5:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:over, drowning out the idle bridge banter in the background... *
[6:01][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 100333.1, It has been a day since our rescue of the civilian freighter and our encounter with the IMperium Stalker in the Sor nebula. I call it a rescue, but the evidenc
[6:02][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:points to the freighter's situation being staged by the crew of the Stalker as a trap
[6:03][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:STill it does not seem likily the freighter crew were willing participants. Thus a rescue. We managed to retrieve three crew. Two of which are in statis due to the severity of thier injuries
[6:06][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Third was debriefed by Lieutenant Krinn of security. They freighter crewman remains confined because Krin reported there appeared to be telepathic manipulation of some sort
[6:09][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Speaking of telepaths, Inara repored that she was contacted by the Chosen during the battle. It seems they want her to join their ranks. A troubling thought and something we will need to deal with
[6:10][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:However, our current mission takes priority. For now however the Chosen have not been heard from since that contact. Which is fine by mean, we have enough to deal with
[6:12][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:on a positive note, since leaving the nebula reports of headaches and unexplained accidents have dropp off. In my own case whatever entity was pretending to be Ryle and speaking to me in his voic
[6:14][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:has gone silent. A relief to be sure. Now all that remains before us is our primary mission, what we came her for. At current speeds we are eight hours out from the Imperium deep space station tha
[6:16][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:housed the artifact that they call Oblivion's trophy. A truly ominous sounding name. From here on out we work hard to avoiud detection as we fomrulate a stratgey for oobtaining our objecteve
[6:19][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:We will pass close to the Catada system as we approach the station, this round about approach should allow us to avoid detection by the Meristien array. Hopefully the approach will be uneventful
[6:20][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:that should allow us time to prepare before our arrival. End Log
[6:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor seemed to be going over his sensor logs with a growing frown.* "I have detected something that may both be of use and a massive hindrance. The star we passed is very prone to solar flares... 
[6:21][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-scowls some as she runs her scans barely listening the big Klingon give his report
[6:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"As are several others in the vicinity. Too many for it to be a coincidence. Either something destabilized them, or it was -very- deliberately done by the Tannies. As a natural defence system.
[6:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I wouldn't put it past them, but I also wouldn't put it past them to have done it entirely on accident.
[6:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "What, playing with one of mommy Dark's toys and punched a few holes in their own wall?
[6:23][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-shakes her head and runs her scans again with a soft hiss- 'Wie unpraktizch, sogar dumm.
[6:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nodded to Ain.* "Point is, it messes with sensors, and going too close to a flare isn't gonna be fun. My guess is the stars -may- form a defensive "Wall"...
[6:24][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Is it possibel to alter course around and still reach our goal
[6:24][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-runs her check for the third time
[6:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"as a defense it seems rather inefficient, any impact in sensors will impact them as well.
[6:25][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-softly hisses- Vahnsin
[6:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He shruggedto Aquila.* "I'm not sure. My sensors are so wobbly right now I can barely see anything.
[6:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Commander? My Kaptain
[6:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They are a station, Captain. They have much better sensor suites, and do not forget, if it is deliberate, they probably know the timing and how to counteract it.
[6:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes leftenant?
[6:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "We could try moving a bit further spinward, I don't think the Tanausans would have done that anywhere but on their border systems. Even they're not that dumb.
[6:27][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Now I have run these scans three times to be sure...however I must report there might be something to support Science's 'Vall Theory'. I am picking an unusual low amount of traffic in and around vha
[6:28][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:has been reported obviously as an occupied vorld...even the Civilian und Merchant raffic lanes sho wminimal to no traffic on the
[6:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Which world is that? Catada?
[6:28][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:If Science's theor ist true...the response by their navy...this ist Vahnsinn...maddnes
[6:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to Ain- Ja, Catada...forgive m
[6:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods ot Ain
[6:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *Her face grew grim.* "The planet is already dying, at least in terms of its ability to sustain life, and the Imperium already has an extermination program in place for the Catadai people.
[6:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Still... last I heard there were just under three billion people on Catada. Not all of them Catadai.
[6:30][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Vhich vould make it a solid stringhold for any such resistence...es[ecially one filled by many subject species.
[6:30][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to Ain
[6:31][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Just either ve are missing something..or this impractiability ist due to overt arroganc
[6:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We are likely missing something. My sensors are really struggling right now, I am working to clean them up from interference, much as I can.
[6:32][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-to T'Pang and Marcus- I vill keep looking of cours
[6:32][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Anything telepathic
[6:32][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] No
[6:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He paused and brought up the tannie sensor officer's manual on his console.
[6:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin glanced back at the others very briefly then
[6:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The Catadai sun seemed to be normal. It didn't act out like these ones.
[6:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Do the best you can Lieutenant T'Ghor. We could move spinward to avoid the brunt of it, but we would also more likily be detected by Imperium sensor arrays.
[6:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We are going to continue along this approach. We are not relying on sensors for navigation anyway. We have a map.
[6:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Did Son's map mention anything about them?
[6:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He starts working on calibrating the sensors a bit better for the solar flares.
[6:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks amused at ish as she goes back to her scans
[6:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Hey, yeah. He wrote them only a few weeks ago, I doubt this was done over the course of that time.
[6:37][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he returned a look at her at that
[6:38][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-begins cataloging the traffic out here the best she can both Militry and civilian
[6:38][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he took a little telepathic peak outside to double check just in case
[6:38][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-links in Science to allow this data to help his own
[6:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--Pulls the map and and data up on her PADD-
[6:40][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Istrin be careful
[6:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Elise and kept working on setting up the sensors more properly to counteract the solar flares.
[6:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] So known obstacle, In that case captain i say we push through
[6:41][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he blinked* Yes ma'am
[6:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Aquila-- "If they put an obstacle here to discourage passage then our logical course would be to push through.
[6:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Captain Son's notes indicated the presence of the stars in question and advised caution in their traversal, but the Tanausan had failed to mention what they were for or how they'd come to be.
[6:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting. Then we willl exercise caution as we traverse this area.
[6:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Elise roll, T'Ghor roll to give her a bonus.
[6:45][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Returning from medical, nose into a PADD analysing sensor data, still trying to figure out what is causing headaches. She pokes her head in to catch up on current information.
[6:46][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he flinched, grunting a little as he grabbed at his console to keep him from falling
[6:46][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Are you alright Lieutenant?
[6:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*inara flashes her eyes silver
[6:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looked over at Istrin as he grunted.-
[6:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Istrin... what have you
[6:47][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*mumbling* Should have listened.
[6:48][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Yes you should have
[6:48][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] There are things out there you are not ready for yet
[6:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the sort of things i would prefer to avoid if possible.
[6:49][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Yes ma'am..*he sighed* SOrry.
[6:50][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] Curiousity is a good thing, it is also a danger
[6:50][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] as the first betazoid that took a Caitian as a pet learned
[6:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Wait, is that a thing?
[6:51][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-calls out- I am now detecting a varp trail on long range sensors, the trail is out from Orwyke. Kontact ist probable Imperium prowler
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey... The stars seem to be positioned near the border. The flare-y ones. Almost like a fence?
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He looked over to Ain.* "Can you come and check this out?
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "That makes sense. Orwyke has a small but robust military installation, as well as serving as a hub for the other empires in the region.
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She went over to T'Ghor to check.
[6:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"do we have an estimate on how old this warp trail is as well as a possible heading?
[6:53][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] That ancient betazoids made the mistake of thinking Caitians were pets? yes
[6:53][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Out of curiousity, Dr Delancey sits at an unused terminal to call up current sensor data to look at these 'flare-y' stars.
[6:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He trailed the stars on his screen with a finger.* "Look, it more or less aligns with the border... Who do they border with on this side?
[6:53][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-checks based pm semsopr degradation
[6:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "The Zhyx control most of the space to their coreward border. They... tolerate one another, but the Zhyx tend to get aggressive at times.
[6:55][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he rubbed at his head and groaned lightly
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods.* "So these stars may be the equivalent of a bug lamp to catch Zhyx in.
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I'd say it was clever, but I doubt they came up with it themselves. Or even did it on purpose.
[6:56][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-to T'Pang- Age of Kontact's varp trail ist between four to five days old My Kaptain
[6:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, but they may have purposefully drawn the border that way the last time they had a conflict with the Zhyx. Not too shabby.
[6:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Thanks for the assist.
[6:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"old enough that the Prowler may no longer be around. But, keep an eye out anyway.
[6:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She nodded and headed back to the command dais.
[6:57][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali looks for patterns in magnetic energy discharges on the flare stars, attempting to determine if natural or artificial.
[6:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"My sensors cleared up some, Weaps, I'll stay on it to see if I can't find other nasty surprises around.
[6:59][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods- Understood Science, und i vill look for changes in traffic for any activity along your 'fence
[6:59][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Pretty big show of strength to alter stars for a fence.
[7:00][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:That does seem abive their usual level of technology -nods to the Doctor
[7:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "If they did, I doubt it was with anything they invented themselves.
[7:01][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-to Ain as she works- Theive
[7:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "They do tend to copy their neighbor's homework.
[7:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's just the smart way to do things.
[7:01][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Then they may miss things on how to properly maintain such tec
[7:01][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:No not really Scienc
[7:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Something exploitable
[7:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yeah, until they find out you're cheating off of them and write all the wrong answers on purpose.
[7:02][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*looking at the directionality of the flares, see if they line up or converge or just seem like signals
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"probablky not." --to Ain-- "What do you know of the Imperium's relationship with the Zhyx?
[7:02][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:IF one does not create something..they may never learn how to maintain i
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey, if I had to choose between a musket and a phaser rifle, I'd choose the rifle and figure out how to change power packs later.
[7:02][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:und after it runs out in the middle of fight..you die by bayone
[7:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "They use one another. The Imperium sometimes provides them with their servitors as slaves in exchange for technology the Zhyx pilfered.
[7:02][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Klingons..
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"But I'd last a lot longer than I would with the musket.
[7:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"any history of conflict?
[7:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "No outright wars, but there have been skirmishes and disagreements.
[7:03][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:How do your people ever vin a var? -teaes TGhor
[7:03][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Grit
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Nothing to warrant fense building?
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Usually screaming and covered in blood, Weaps.
[7:04][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-chuckles
[7:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Interestingly, we did find something on the Talon's computer core about the Zhyx that... I don't know, Captain, I'm not the paranoid emperor.
[7:05][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am uncertain, this 'fence' was built by the Tanasauans.
[7:05][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"If they connect, it might not be a fence, but powering something, like a relay or something. Any stations orbiting those stars to collect the energy of the flares?
[7:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "You think maybe the Zhyx did it? Just stuck the fence posts on the Tannie's side so it didn't mess up their own lawn?
[7:06][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-looks bvack at the doctor at that- Interesting..very interesting ide
[7:06][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Why do something that big, if it wasn't going to proffit in some way.
[7:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No, no stations orbiting the stars. The one we're headed to is only a few hours away.
[7:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"So with a powerful enough panel system, they'd be able to suck in a decent amount, I bet.
[7:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"its hard to say, the history of the LMC stretches back a long time..much of its history lost to time.
[7:07][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Depends on how they might relay the energy..very curious ide
[7:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "We really have no way of knowing, the only reference to them we have is Captain Son's notes, and he only provided the bare minimum information we would need to get to the station.
[7:08][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:if it is a power realy netvork..it must power something..bi
[7:08][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"i was thinking more on our own problem, and mission. The power it must take to shut down the artesia gate, from this distance..." *shrg
[7:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We do not know what that artifact is. It may not need a lot of power, if any.
[7:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"and interesting question, but Son might have the right idea here. if it does not directly relate to our current mission it might be wise to not focus on it too much.
[7:09][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Ve call those targets of ippurtunbity back hom
[7:09][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Very true TGhor, there is a lot of what is science in thie galaxy that astounds me.
[7:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Write it down and figure it out when we come back in peacetime?" *She smirked at T'Pang.
[7:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Exactly. Things millions of years beyond us.
[7:10][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Yet we play in the giant's sandbox.
[7:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Orestes.-- "exeactly lieutenant.
[7:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Try being born in it," *she said drylt to Dali.
[7:11][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks knowing exactly how Ain feels and nods to her
[7:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Regardless, Captain, we are at the end of watch. By the time we return to our stations we should be at the Trophy's... case, I suppose you could call it.
[7:12][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"We have plenty in our own galaxy that is still beyond us and ancient. It is not as unknown a feeling as you might expect.
[7:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I recommend we prepare ourselves mentally for what may come.
[7:12][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Indeed
[7:12][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] I will make sure your rest is uninvaded
[7:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes doctor, our galaxy is not without its giants.
[7:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Shall I call up beta watch, ma'am?
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"sure, we should all get some rest before we reach our target.
[7:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "...Indeed." *She hit the button to summon the extras.
[7:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor scoffed.* "Fuckin' tannies..." *And turned over his console to his replacement.
[7:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Captain? May I have a word off to the side?
[7:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*People's replacemens started to trickle in.
[7:18][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin created a note to himself in his console before turning it over when it was time
[7:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes lieutenant. Is this something you wish to discuss in private?
[7:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded his head.* "Yes, Captain.
[7:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She gave Len a double high five and a hip check.* "Don't break her or I'm telling everyone you're a Tannie-loving traitor.
[7:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we can discuss it in my ready room.
[7:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded and gave Len and Orestes a look.* "...Your console is a she?
[7:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--t'Pang heads for her ready room.-
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "If you dare then I'll tell them you're the Aspect of Short.
[7:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Shook his head and followed after T'Pang.
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Don't reveal my secrets." *She looked at T'Ghor.* "Course she is!
[7:21][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Taps on his PADD as he follows to the ready room.
[7:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Pryce] *He eyed Istrin as he arrived at the console.* "What'd you do this time?
[7:21][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang enters the ready room.-
[7:21][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"So what was it that you wanted to discuss?
[7:21][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Walked in after T'Pang.* "It's just two minutes of your time, Captain. I wanted to ask permission to take a copy of Allaya to the station.
[7:22][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I didnt listen
[7:22][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"A copy? Do we have that on board?
[7:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She looked at Aquila.* "I can take the watch, you're more likely to have to go to the station personally." *She smirked.
[7:22][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She's much smarter and stronger than a VIA, they are just shallow copies of her. She could be of much use." *He then nodded.* "She can take care of that.
[7:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Pryce] "You never do. Go walk it off, then.
[7:23][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Very Well ain, it's not like I am far away
[7:23][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*aquila went ot the little not much more than a cell for the first officer on watch off the bridge
[7:23][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:That.. is sort of true.. Thank you pryce
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "You'll be the first one I come calling for if things go to shit, Marcus." *She chuckled and took the chair.
[7:24][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i agree that having Allaya workig with us to circumvent the station's security would be quite helpful.
[7:24][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *she toched the side of the ship
[7:24][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded.* "I'll talk to her and help her prep a copy if she needs me to. That was really all I had, captain, just not something to discuss on the bridge yet.
[7:25][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"See what you can do about that. Keep me updated.
[7:25][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded.* "I'll text you once the copy's done. Rest well, Captain." *He turned to head out.
[7:25][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you Lieutenant.
[7:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor stepped out on the bridge, checking his PADD and giving out a loud klingon belly-laugh at something.
[7:27][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*inara stands guard in her sentenel position
[7:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Don't go too rough, Len, it's my turn next." *He told the satyr as he headed down towards the lab.
[7:27][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang goes and orders a cup of tea from the replicator.-
[7:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "I'm a perfect gentleman," *the Simirian protested as T'Ghor left.
[7:28][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I thought you'd never come back in here," *she heard him say from her desk chair.
[7:28][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*istrin headed for the lift at that
[7:28][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Once in the lab, T'Ghor locked himself in one of the offices and brought Allaya on.* "We got a go. You need help makin' a copy?
[7:29][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--She spun around startled and looked in the direction fo the voice-
[7:29][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "I can do it myself. All I need is the space to do so on a portable drive.
[7:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-continued to work on cataloging her sensor contacts
[7:30][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He was seated in her chair, legs up on her desk and wearing one of his usual sharp suits and shades.* "Is it that much of a bother getting you alone for him, too?
[7:30][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"More than happy to." *He went to dig one out.* "I know it seems like we're dragging our feet, but we discovered the truth about the Orzaul at a -bad- time. You know the details, locked out of our 
[7:30][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Home galaxy, disrupted supply lines and reinforcement lines... Hopefully this will take care of that and we can move on. 
[7:30][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Who are you and what do you want?
[7:30][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali returned to Medical, to give report to the officer taking the next shift as MOD, briefing them patient status etc. Then Dali went off in search of food and her husband.
[7:32][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "What, I can't stop in for a chat? You're the one who went through my house first.
[7:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Leftenant?
[7:33][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-cocks her head some at that but doesnot look up from her work- Ja
[7:33][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i see. You must be the one who has been whispering to me while we traversed the nebula.
[7:33][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "You don't have to explain it to me, T'Ghor. I understand what is going on.
[7:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Don't make me order you to rest up before the big fight, now.
[7:34][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:'Just don't want you to feel we're ignoring the gravity of what's happening to your people, is all." *He set up the portable drive for her.
[7:34][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i apologize for travelling through your home without asking permission.
[7:35][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-stops and considers this and slowly nods as she trurns over her conmsole to her relief. She turns to Ain- Of course not, forgive me. So much to prepare fo
[7:36][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Trying to, anyway. It's easier out here, couldn't tell you why." *He shrugged then.* "No malice, no hard feelings. Fight was strange though, wasn't it? Tanausans didn't even call you..
[7:36][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:to gloat. Doesn't happen often, does it?
[7:36][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:*he made his way to the mess hall with a padd in hand and waited in line
[7:36][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles to her- I vill go seek food und rest then
[7:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She nodded her head.* "Rest well, Leftenant.
[7:37][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The Stalker? I had not thought about it.
[7:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Und you vhen it ist your time. -with a sharp heel click she heads to go below decks
[7:38][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "No boarding action, either... of course, I suppose you could put that one on nebula interference messing with their transmats.
[7:39][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Or maybe your crew's just -that good- that they didn't get the chance..." *He swiveled in the chair a bit.
[7:39][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"They did seem rather quiet and efficient. The trap was well thought out.
[7:40][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "I have experienced more years than the universe is old in a virtual Tanausan torture chamber, T'Ghor. I can wait a few months.
[7:41][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Not typical traits in a Tanasaunan crew.
[7:41][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-enters themess hall reading from her PADD, cutting the line only to secure herself a cup of schwarzer kaffee and then find a seat at a lonely table as she reads
[7:42][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Can't ignore someone in need, even on such an important mission... they used your bleeding Federation hearts against you.
[7:42][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's... one way to put it." *He huffed.* "Guess I'm the more impatient one." *He smirked.* "Virtual drive is up. The copy's main purpose on the station will be to get into their systems and drag 
[7:42][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Then again, that -does- sound like Tanausans.
[7:42][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes they did. And, yes that does sound very Tanasauan.
[7:42][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"As much intel on the artefact out as possible. Secondary would be to punch into its other systems, but I believe that knowing what they know about the artifact is key.
[7:43][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:*he stared at Elise as she proceeded to cut the line
[7:43][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "Hey! Wait your turn, runt!" *He shouted after Elise.
[7:44][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it hardly matters we dispatched that Stalker, its not going to be a problem going forward.
[7:44][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "I was thinking more along the lines of disabling their automated defenses... but yes, I will also look for that.
[7:45][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Coming back to the mess hall, out of uniform a little, in a comfortable looking sweater, she steps to the rear of the line. A message sent to Marcus on her PADD to let him know where to find her.
[7:45][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Automated defences going down, I could do with the other VIAs as well, probably. But if you can do that too, then - great.
[7:45][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Not that Stalker, anyway.
[7:45][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-called idly as she studied her PADD drifting over towards her table 'Mir geht es gut, vielen Dank euch allen
[7:45][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:Come on, no need for namecalling
[7:46][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i suppose so, plenty more Stalkers where that one came from.
[7:47][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This is all interesting, but what i am really interested in at the moment is you.
[7:47][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Truth be told, it's unusual that these Tanausans have all these telepaths... yet they're convinced they're the ones making all the decisions. That's absolutely a superiority complex.
[7:47][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Me? I'm just a mirror, T'Pang, reflecting the thoughts you were too busy to think yourself." *He grinned.
[7:47][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"How much time'd you need? I can leave you to work in peace and come back after I've had a bite.
[7:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"too busy to think? Now you are just being insulting.
[7:48][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "It will be a few hours, but I will be finished by the time you arrive.
[7:48][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-sips her coffee after blowing on its surface a moment as she looks over her lists of local traffic on her PADD...studying it for any pattern for approach
[7:49][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded.* "I'll go eat something. Can't get shot on an empty stomach. I'll be on my PADD if you need me.
[7:49][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He stepped out with a slight wave.
[7:49][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "You misunderstand me. You've a lot on your mind, Captain, it's natural that a lot of it becomes buried under the weight of the next round of catastrophes.
[7:50][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"are you suggesting that the roll the Nirizeans play is not that of servant, but they are in fact the masters?
[7:50][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A little pixellated hand appeared on the screen, waving back.
[7:50][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Noooo... well. Not -all- of them.
[7:51][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"just certain ones...Chosen ones perhaps?
[7:51][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor walked into mess hall, sitting at Elise's table as he waited for the queue to simmer down some.* "I'm setting us up for the station. I'm gonna need you to find me an access point once we get 
[7:52][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"On board. I'll do my best to cripple their internal defences from the get go, and take all their research. Even if we die horribly, they'll lose all their data.
[7:52][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "The timing was rather suspect... wasn't it?
[7:53][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali is patient in line, most concerned with her PADD than the bustle
[7:53][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-smiles looking over the rim of her PADD- I am in.
[7:53][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes it was. It did make me suspect we were getting close to something..or someone.
[7:53][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Vhat can you...do you have a go to bring Allaya
[7:54][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:*he finally got up front and got himself his food, turning to find a table
[7:54][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded.* "We'll have our VIA aide.
[7:55][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I've made sure to pump her up with bits and pieces of the ones I managed to keep from the tanny stalker too.
[7:56][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Sehr gud -listens- ...sehr sehr gut. So sheis prepared...so ve vil vant an access point ...perhaps a corgo lock..or dock..any type of access to the system vill aid her Ja
[7:56][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Anything. A PADD charging point could work.
[7:56][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "A distraction for the rest of you so they could approach your telepath, perhaps?
[7:57][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"So long as she gets access to a power and a computer of some sort.
[7:57][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-nods- so ve must enter somevhere like that..the higest chance of access pointsd fo rthe max number of people..to use und not slow down their militar

[7:58][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"a possibility, I seems logical they would perceive Inara as their biggest threat. it would be a intelligen move trying to recruit her.
[7:59][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Elise.* "We'll see, it depends on where we infil.
[7:59][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:second choice..a medicasl sectio
[7:59][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:medical
[8:00][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "It would be, if it had a chance of working..." *He let that hang in the air for a moment before saying,* "Of course, you -are- sure she won't take them up on that offer...
[8:00][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:though they and labs often have little access to outside airelock
[8:00][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:'We'll cross that bridge once we come to it. Let's get our asses on the station first. All I need is for you to keep an extra eye out in case I miss something.
[8:01][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-sighs a soft hiss- It vvill approach by chance..it seems no flight is goig near the station for us to use as a shiel
[8:01][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-nods to TGhor- I will mein freund ..I promis
[8:02][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i can't be sure of something like that. I hardly know her. Captain Razzor has confidence in Inara.
[8:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Right. And you, of course, have every confidence in Captain Razzor...
[8:03][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Finally taking her turn, she is not too picky about the food, but is petuclar that her chai is just right before leaving the line and seeking a seat.
[8:03][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She plopped down next to T"Ghor without warning.* "When I see Koros I'm going to give him a big sloppy kiss on the ass. We were spoiled on the Pilly.
[8:03][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Thanks. That's all I needed." *He tapped his fingers on the table.* "If this works, then Ancestors... it will be glorious. Opening Artessia again. I know I'd love to see an allied fleet pour in.
[8:04][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He gave Orestes a grin.* "You realize that just now?
[8:04][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-sips her coffee as sge continues to study her readings and smiles at Orestes commant
[8:04][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *tilted her head
[8:04][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes i do.
[8:05][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:I find myself missing his cooking as vel

[8:05][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..as illogical and emotional as she is. I do have every confidence in her.
[8:05][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Second I stepped on the Talon, actually... and yes, that's where the appreciaton center lies.
[8:06][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It lies on the opposite side of the ass, you know. Kisses there always feel better.
[8:06][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Ship traffic..i catalogued as many civilia and miltary ships i could in the sparsely traveled lanes..looking for one ot use to hjide our final aproach..no luck just ye
[8:06][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Well, nothing to worry about then, is there?" *He got up and walked around the room, eyeing the spot where the real Ryle had been hung a few months earlier.
[8:07][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You'll figure it out. I trust your judgement when it comes to ship fuckery.
[8:07][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Taking a seat near the other officers, she makes sure the one across is saved for Marcus* "I think a hearty 'we missed you' will be all he needs Orestes.
[8:07][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-smirks and nods- Ja..i can be.vhat ist the term..a brat ..about i
[8:07][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Klingons don't respond to words, they respond to actions.
[8:07][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"You seem to think there is..or perhaps just want to make me think there is.
[8:07][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-smiles as the doctor joins them
[8:07][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I do not think there is anything you are not a brat about.
[8:08][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Vhy thank you T'Ghor..i extend the same to yo
[8:08][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Get him fresh supplies from home, I'm sure he will appreciate that.

[8:08][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's the highest degree of compliment I can get from you." *He grinned back.
[8:09][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Velie dank -bows her head to him- Oh..I meanto ask..vhat is that dish makes vith the wriggly vorms inb the blood
[8:09][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "You're entitled to think whatever you'd like, T'Pang. I'm only here to sate my curiosity, after all. Or maybe I'm just some piece of your mind that's finally snapped and wants to hash..
[8:09][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You mean gagh?
[8:09][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:things out. Way things are going, it's really anyone's guess.
[8:09][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Ach Ja..gag
[8:10][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:I rather like that dish mysel
[8:10][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You should try my version. It's gagh with added Alfredo sauce. Gagh Alfredo.
[8:10][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Alfredo..that sounds..huma
[8:10][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i suppose i will have to figure that out on my own.
[8:11][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He went to the window to check his reflection.* "You did pick a good looking avatar for me, though," *he hummed approvingly.
[8:11][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You never had chicken Alfredo on the Citadel?" *He blinked.* "Well, it's this creamy sauce from Parmesan, which is a cheese, butter and cream. It's really simple, but tastes divine.
[8:11][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Not one I would have picked. But, yes good looking..
[8:12][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-considers this and nods- I thuink I shall try it..should I surivive to do s
[8:12][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:It does sound very gu
[8:12][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Don't let him trick you into it, it's pure carbohydrate hell without the worms trying to eat your intestines from inside.
[8:13][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You say that like you don't need a bit more meat on your bones, Orestes.
[8:13][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's good for you!
[8:13][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-chuckles as she listens to the pair
[8:13][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I just chose the one that was on your mind the most," *he smirked at her.* "I can do a different one if you'd prefer.
[8:14][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Besides, the trick is to chew through the woms. That really unlocks their flavor.
[8:15][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Worry about your own bones, I'm shocked they can support you after all these years. What kind of shapewear to you use under your uniform?
[8:15][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"It's only the most digusting thing I've ever eaten, and I like sushi
[8:15][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Sushi..the raw fish on rice dish
[8:15][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I use nothing. I go on week-long whiskey and beer purges regularly, they help me clean my system. It's very healthy stuff.
[8:16][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'm sure the doctor's thrilled to hear that/
[8:17][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Raw eggs in the morning and night and alcohol are the solution to every health issue, save for gunshots and old age." *He grinned at Orestes.
[8:17][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Yes, Elise, but I do eat eastern foods of all kinds, cooked and raw. I just can't deal with the worms.
[8:17][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:'I even had a few spirit and ale purges of my own back in med school.
[8:17][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"See? The doctor knows what's up.
[8:17][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:I tried that in the Citade on a dare and i rather enjoy it myself now...-smirks- the vord i hear are an acquired tast
[8:17][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Who hasn't?
[8:18][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:for Myself the draw ist the taste of the bloo
[8:18][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sushi, I can't deal with.
[8:18][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Thought Lieutenent, I would say, your days of keg stands need to be behind you. For decorum sake.
[8:18][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Sushi has an elegance to i
[8:18][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"But the fish flavor completely ruins it. -Good- blood is very rare beaf.
[8:18][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "If I wanted to taste blood I just wouldn't brush my teeth for a month.
[8:18][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-smiles to Orestes- Nei nein ..I meant the taste of prey's bloo
[8:18][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He grinned to Dali.* "I am not going to do keg stands except on Risa.
[8:19][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, usually I tell her to come back next week.
[8:19][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And maybe the Citadel once this war is over.
[8:19][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-to T'Ghor- the var ist never over
[8:19][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's a cowardly way to ignore your duties, Orestes. What's a bit of blood?
[8:20][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"You have grown since I first met you T'Ghor, I'm glad to say. I am hoping that we can successfully prove a positive force in this galaxy in time to have a party in our lifetimes to celebrate it.
[8:20][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'll gladly do shots with you then.
[8:20][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You have any idea how hormone saturated that shit is? I'm not drinking it.
[8:20][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, we were already a positive force, Doctor. Just ask the scyrthi babies flapping around the Citadel.
[8:21][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "For instance, now you see me..." *He snapped his fingers.
[8:21][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-chuckles- They are annoyingly adoreable are they not
[8:21][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Now I'm even hotter!" *She gave T'pang a little pose.
[8:21][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*nods with a smile, and sitps her tea* "It would be nice to finish this war though, would it not?
[8:21][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sharptoof tries to chase them sometimes, have to keep the little fuckhead on a leash." *He nodded to Dali.* "Yeah. It would. 
[8:21][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*inara chuckled

[8:22][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"perhaps so.
[8:22][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Making some self realisations, T'pang? I get the feeling this one's done that to a lot of people.

[8:22][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"NO, I mean war this millions years of war. I would want to see these people not have to suffer through the threat of it any longer.
[8:23][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Head better?" *He turned to Istrin.
[8:23][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Is that the point here to manipulate my emotions?
[8:23][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-soft smile to Ann- Der Krieg endet nie,,, niemals
[8:24][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's a very kzari way of looking at things.
[8:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Me? Manipulate a half-vulcan into feeling an emotion?" *She sauntered up to T'Pang, reaching to caress her cheek with the back of her hand.* "Is it working?' *She grinned.

[8:28][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Hessok vridii... am I saying it right?
[8:28][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Ahhh so it vas the Pilgrim that dreleased that thing..
[8:28][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, you are... And releasing a death cloud? Usually very bad, Lieutenant. We only got one that's friendly.
[8:28][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Ahhh so it vas the Pilgrim that dreleased that thing..
[8:29][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-shakes her head
[8:29][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:So not bad
[8:29][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:This time
[8:29][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Oh, I have a very good imagination." *The room around them flickered and became a sparring ring on Vulcan.
[8:29][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"My first week on duty in this galaxy. It was quit the shock
[8:29][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, no, it was very bad that time, Lieutenant. It only became friendly after the souls of people it killed ate it from the inside.
[8:30][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:One does not dig in an ancient minefield und not expect to find explosive
[8:30][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] *She was suddenly the Tanausan captain, shirtless as when she'd seen him last but not covered in healing moss.* "And I've been in a few other people's imaginations, too.
[8:30][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:Oh.
[8:30][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I had been an administrator for years on Starbase One, gave up a promotion to get back into exploration.
[8:31][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-looks at them all- Did you not know about vhere you vere digging
[8:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It was a... chain of events." *He looked to Elise.* "Kirtascans showed up, held us at gunpoint, and went to interact with the ancient crystal before we could do anything.
[8:31][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-looks at them all- Did you not know about vhere you vere digging
[8:31][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"toward what end, if not manipulation?
[8:31][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Ach Ja...the Kirtascans..I see no
[8:31][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-nods sadly
[8:31][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I knew nothing of what was going on, only that they were working with two alien species uncovering some ancient past.
[8:32][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "...Isn't everything we do manipulation, ultimately? It's not always a bad thing.
[8:32][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And hey, Elise, what's a little death cloud when we got the whole future of the scyrthi species out of it?
[8:32][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'm sorry to say, I saw it going badly in the minutes before it did. I regret to this day not speaking up and ordering you all back on medical grounds.
[8:32][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I managed to salvage a fossilized scyrthi egg. It's what gave the doctor and I the DNA to work with.
[8:32][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "Take Captain Son, for example. He manipulated you into doing what he wanted, didn't he? But it was what you -both- needed, even if for different reasons.
[8:33][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-looks at T'ghor- ask Your death perhaps
[8:33][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:I am sure they can tell you -nods
[8:33][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:dead
[8:33][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Shrugs to Elise.* "Still worth it. Besides, our dead are now floating as a huge death cloud.
[8:33][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I talked to my scientist who died in that, she appeared pretty content.
[8:34][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:IF you feel it vas vorth it..then vh do you grieve
[8:34][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...She's a vulcan, T'Ghor.
[8:34][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:They fogut vell yes that day
[8:34][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Even a vulcan can appreciate being a giant death cloud who can eat tannie ships whole. 
[8:34][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*quietly* "I grieve all the dead, even those who died well.
[8:35][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-again to Ann with respect in her voice-- Admirabl
[8:35][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He then nodded to Elise.* "It was less of a fight, more a mad run out of the dead city. Had to carry Arfacio over my shoulder. The kirtascans touched the crystal and released it, and all hell broke 
[8:35][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Loose.
[8:35][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes, that how things work. In that circumstance our interests sligned.
[8:36][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:A terrible day then...that had a bright outcome for a ow trusted ally ja
[8:36][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali picks at her food a little, sends Marcus another message hoping for him to break away and join her int he mess hall.
[8:36][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "That they did." *He walked over to examine a lirpa on the rack.* "And he also had a Nirizean shadow.
[8:36][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded.* "Yeah. And besides, I'm not about to cry for any of those kirtascans. They were the nasty ultra-religious ones, real mean sumbitches.
[8:37][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm not about to cry for anything, really, I'm physically incapable of it.
[8:37][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"But, my own previous encounrtes gave me the experience with Son that allowed my to trust him enough to work with him. Otherwise i would not have been able to trust him enough.
[8:37][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Most of them were until you threw their pope out a window.
[8:37][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Fools are not vorth tears nor sorrow...such is a vaste of resource
[8:37][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "Interesting how that worked out, isn't it?
[8:38][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Such Fools
[8:38][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Not devolved in a tearful mess either, but that not always what grieving is, I'm not a wailing and gnashing of teeth type.
[8:38][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is interesting.
[8:38][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I prefer action to a puddle of tears.
[8:38][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-blinks- I do not thino of you as veak my Doktor..
[8:38][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:I hope i have not given such an impressio
[8:39][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "After all, that first meeting and genuine connection would not have happened without a friendly noncorporeal.
[8:39][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:Yoiuve the air of a solider about you..an honorable on
[8:39][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Thanks.... I think.
[8:39][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"perhaps someone you know?
[8:40][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"T'Ghor, is more of a warrior than I am... living by his honor.. or at least trying to, like all good klingons.
[8:40][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-nods- You aree velkome. it vas indeed meant as a complimen
[8:40][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Science knows vhat I think of hi
[8:40][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Laughs at Dali's words, shaking his head.* "Scientist, not a warrior.
[8:40][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Science knows vhat I think of hi
[8:40][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] *He shrugged noncommittally.* "There are a lot of entities that the Tanausans group under the name of Havoc.
[8:40][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I know she can't stop thinking of me, either." *He grinned.
[8:40][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-laughs
[8:41][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-looks at Ann- Doktor..may I be blunt vith you
[8:41][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, nobody's blaming you." *He winked and stood up to get a beer and some food now the queue had died down.
[8:41][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"So the Tanasauans think there is a connection there.
[8:42][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I miss science... T'ghor, did you know I never intended to be a ship's doctor, or anyone's doctor? I'm a viralogist, geneticist, microbiologist... but we serve at the needs of the service, don't w
[8:42][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"
[8:43][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-listens to what she just said and waits
[8:43][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "I think it's more like... calling every personal access device a PADD. One is called a PADD, certainly, but the others have their own names... but everyone uses the one term and everyone..
[8:43][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*sighs and drinks her tea* "Are you what you wanted to be Elise? When you started your career?
[8:43][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:understands what they mean by it.
[8:44][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-cants her head some and nods- Ja Doktor, I have always sought to serve the Motherland as a solider. However..the type of solider i envisioned..not my family's twisted version of one
[8:45][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"So more of a categorization?
[8:45][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "Sure, we can just go with that.
[8:45][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I ... thought the service was just a way to be in the right place when I as needed.
[8:46][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Went back over to the table and sat down, shrugging to Dali.* "I was into archaeology since a pretty early age. I always thought dinosaurs were fuckin' awesome, and it started from there.
[8:46][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"so, will you be staying a while?
[8:46][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"They are... you should see what we thought they were in my great grandparent's time. Nothing like we think of them now.
[8:47][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "If you don't mind. I'd like to see how you pull this one off.
[8:47][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-smiles some and allows the pair to speak as she swirls her mug of cooling coffee
[8:47][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "And... well. Let's just say what you're doing will have been a long time coming.
[8:47][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I know some cultures interpreted them as dragons and similar stuff." *He took a gulp of beer.* "I still can't name all my favorites. I have a thing for all the tall, long-necked ones, I guess.
[8:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i see, curiosity? Could i stop you if i wanted to?
[8:49][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "I don't imagine you could. Your Betazoid - the hot one, and yes I know you're listening, too - could probably make it difficult for me, but I'd get the basics regardless.
[8:49][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Brontosaurous or Brachiosaurus?
[8:49][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i don't mind you observing as long as you don't try to interfere.
[8:50][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I can only tell them apart by the crest.
[8:50][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Son] "I only interfere with consent," *he winked at her and turned back into Ryle.
[8:50][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Supersaurus. But if I had to choose between those two.. brachiosaurus, maybe.
[8:50][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Speaking of... you're sure?" *He grinned.
[8:50][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well then we have an agreement.
[8:51][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Supersauruses were about ten meters longer and had spikes all over spines. Pretty badass.
[8:51][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"They were only just digging that one up when I was a kid, never studied it.
[8:52][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I think I was past my dino phase by the time they assembled it.
[8:52][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...What?
[8:52][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Doctor, they dug it up in the 20th century.
[8:52][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*nods and sips her tea
[8:52][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-finishes her mig with a swallow and rises- Excuse me. do rest vell -nods to each present
[8:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right. I won't ask. Don't want those temporal assholes breathing down my neck again.
[8:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Elise.* "Rest well yourself.
[8:53][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"rest is a good idea, maybe Marcus already went to bed.
[8:53][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She smirked.* "She's fucking with you, T'Ghor, don't be so easy.
[8:53][DOIC5]Elise@Isis:-places her PADD under her arm and goes to set downher mug to be recycled
[8:53][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Good rest Elise...
[8:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'll have you know I'm not easy. I need at least three dates.
[8:54][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "What if she's taller and can lift more than you?
[8:54][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Yeah, well. I'm married.
[8:54][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's completely different, Orestes.
[8:54][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Sure it is.
[8:55][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "...Too bad. Can't blame me for trying, though." *he snapped his fingers and the room reverted to the ready room.
[8:55][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"There's just no way for a klingon not to like a woman that can kill him. It's genetic.
[8:55][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Produce strong hiers... right?
[8:55][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, I understand.. trust me I do.
[8:56][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i suppose, but you will find me stubbornly Vulcan when i need to be.
[8:56][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Actually is eating now, not waiting
[8:56][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Dali.* "Strong heirs and a hell of a fight in bed.
[8:57][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He smirked at that.* "I can be plenty stubborn, myself. Call if you change your mind... or don't. I'll be able to tell anyway.
[8:57][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"A little biting and scratching is nice, but needing a dermal regenerator and a cast for a broken bone is too much in my opinion.
[8:58][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Certainly. of if AI just need someone to talk to or rearrange my ready room.
[8:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's why it's important to have a full medkit in the bedroom. Not just for doctor and nurse games.
[8:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "It could use a touch up, it's still very dour from the last occupant.
[8:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The walls suddenly changed to a bright, vibrant pink shade.
[9:00][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i don't disagree. But, they did not have a lot of time to fix the place up.
[9:00][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Presenting T'Pang's Malibu Dream Ready Room!
[9:01][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"seems a bit bright...perhaps a more neutral color?
[9:01][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I have taken to not being anywhere without a medkit, and a phaser these days
[9:01][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sadly, that's the only smart thing nowadays.
[9:01][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "...Well, if you insist." *They turned to a boring business beige.
[9:02][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is much more acceptable. Thank yyou.
[9:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "...You can't seriously say you like this.
[9:03][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I grew up on Vulcan. This is what passes for exciting room decor on my world.
[9:04][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "...I give it a day before you want me to change it to something else.
[9:05][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well then check back in a day.
[9:05][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I will. I have to make sure that's not the only thing you change your mind about." *He winked, then vanished.
[9:06][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Eats her food, mostly, before getting ready to head out
[9:07][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded and stayed with his own food a bit longer.
[9:07][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, last night before we attack the alien space station... I'm gonna go find that chick with the vibrating metal arm.
[9:07][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Good luck T'Ghor, for all our sakes. If you need back up, I'm more than willing. I kind of hate waiting around for someone to get hurt.
[9:08][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Good luck to you as well Orestes, give em hell." *she winks
[9:08][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's okay, Doctor, I'll get hurt either way, knowing myself. For now, all I can do is wait." *He grinned.* "And enjoy, Orestes. if you can't walk, you only got yourself to blame.
[9:08][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You too," *she winked back.
[9:08][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "That's the doctor's problem, then." *She headed off to Sey's table.
[9:08][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*with that, she gathers up her tray and goes to recycle what is left and get to bed.
