[8:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Pokemon training is a brutal business
[9:02][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme is replaced by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyQqeXwZVAY tonight. *
[9:03][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The episode opens on a shot of the Pilgrim gliding gracefully through the stellar sea on its way back to Nexus 2. An interior shot shows the science nerds taking images of the great, elder..
[9:04][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:obsidian box carved all over with ancient runes. T'Pang's voiceover can be heard as she winds down from alpha shift... *
[9:07][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log Stardate 98168.51, The Pilgrim is now on her way back to Nexus 2 after we secured the strange elder obsidian box. The travel time is providing most of teh crew with some much needed dow
[9:09][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:time. The science and engineering people are busy examining the box. Now that I have time to reflect I worry whether taking the box was the right call. I guess second guessing myself does nothin
[9:09][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:useful. Still I cant seem to dismiss these nagging concerns. End Log
[9:10][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang shut off the recorder and set it down on the table.-
[9:10][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The black box stood in the middle of the containment field, seeming to devour the light shining down on it rather than reflecting it.
[9:12][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor was looking at all the magnified images they had of it, trying to find the tiniest hint of a seam or a mechanism.
[9:12][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila was working on his reports in his quarters. he looked over at a picture of anne most of her things having been moved to the citadel for her recovery.
[9:12][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Still can't find the latch, huh?" *She peeked from behind T'Ghor's elbow.
[9:13][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--activated the monitor and called up and image from the science lab-
[9:13][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li walks into his quarters after alpha shift.
[9:14][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Adrian was sleeping away in his bigger bouncy chair, cuddling with a sleeping Moo.
[9:14][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Not at all. I can't help but wonder if it's not meant to be opened.
[9:14][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles, quietly moving to his chair to very gently lift Adrian out of his chair.
[9:15][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Hidden in a deep sea trench and guarded by a mechanical sea monster... yeah, it doesn't seem to be the type that should be pried open.
[9:16][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... I didn't mean it like that, though. I was thinking about the box meant to be interacted with. Telepathy, maybe responding to heat or something... Hrmph.
[9:17][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "That is very likely, considering the nature of veracysium. Lieutenant Commander Varel was able to telepathically communicate with a veracysium construct during the recent battle of..
[9:17][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:the black tides.
[9:17][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he eats form his meal and finishes up the report on the impromptu depth charge forwarign it up the chain
[9:18][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to T'Rel.* "Yes, Commander... Issue here is our main telepath is splayed out in sickbay.
[9:18][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--stares at the screen as the science nerds talk-
[9:19][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Even were he not, I would not be able to recommend an interaction with the object. It may cause damage as the disabled Chosen vessels did.
[9:19][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was a buzz at the door.
[9:20][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'pang shut off the monitor and turns toward the door.-- "Enter.
[9:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Travers] *Her yeoman walked in with a little tray. A slice of carrot cake was on a little fancy plate.
[9:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There were also half a dozen bostom cream donuts beside it.
[9:21][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--raises and eyebrow-- "...am i to be fattened up for some reason?
[9:21][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You would advise to leave it up to the avynei, Commander?
[9:21][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li carefully carries Adrian to his crib.
[9:21][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--orders a tea from the replicator.-
[9:22][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She arched a brow at T'Ghor.* "I said no such thing. By all rights this artifact should go to the Beryxians.
[9:22][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Travers] "That's a question for your XO, ma'am." *He set the tray down on her desk.
[9:22][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Do they have telepaths powerful enough to safely interact with it?
[9:23][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "I do not believe it should be interacted with at all, Lieutenant." *She looked back at the artifact.* "It should be studied, carefully, by those better versed in ancient Beryxian culture.
[9:24][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Keep Pandora's box locked up tight, huh?
[9:25][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, you are the one in charge here, Commander. On one hand, I agree with you. On the other, I'm not particularly comfortable having this thing onboard if we don't know what it is.
[9:25][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Or well... what is inside it.
[9:25][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *His eyes opened up.* "Fa?
[9:26][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles down at him.* Adrian
[9:26][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She looked at T'Ghor.* "Would you rather we launch it into the nearest star and forget about it?" *she asked dryly.
[9:26][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He chuckles.* "That definitely doesn't sound like it would bite us in the ass.
[9:27][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at teh tray of goodies.-
[9:27][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Would be a fun experiment, though, veracysium versus a star...
[9:27][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Seepy
[9:28][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She gave Orestes that cold, disapproving stare.
[9:28][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Valkriss may indeed be trying to fatten me up. I wonder is Vulcan a delacacey for Klingons?
[9:28][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We can try it with pretty much any -other- piece of veracysium, someday.
[9:28][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Travers] "Would make sense, since the other accomplice would be Koros...
[9:29][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Then I will have to watch my back...and my weight..
[9:29][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She sighed.* "I guess...
[9:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Regardless, when we are back at Nexus 2 we will need to attempt to contact the Beryxian science academy. Their knowledge will prove invaluble in the translation.
[9:31][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he replaced his food in the replciator and decided ot hit he gym
[9:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Understood, Commander.
[9:32][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--takes a piece of the cake and set it at her place at her desk.-
[9:32][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He looked like a kid who was send to bed without dessert.
[9:32][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*heading to the delta/security gym
[9:32][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Koros does make the most delicious carrot cake though.
[9:32][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Travers] "If there is nothing further, ma'am, I'll leave you to it.
[9:32][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Travers] "He does... it's criminal, almost.
[9:33][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is all Mister TRavers, enjoy your evening.
[9:33][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Travers] "Ma'am." *he left T'Pang with her platter of diabetes.
[9:34][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang takes a bit of the cake as she sits, she frowns a moment before opening her schedule to alot more time in the gym.-
[9:34][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-enters the lab quietly, listening to teh nerds as they worked and stduied thebox
[9:34][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Rhys was already in there, beating up a punching bag, while a few deltas were pumping iron.
[9:35][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Does not hear valkriss, eyeing the box as if it was a very personal enemy.
[9:35][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Regardless, let us make of it what we can. How is the translation matrix coming along?
[9:36][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila stretched then went to start bench pressing
[9:36][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"How is your officer recovering Rhys.
[9:36][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He looked at Orestes at that.
[9:37][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Hit a few snags... it's similar to the oldest Beryxian pictograms they have on file, but it's a far older version. We're lucky even the few ones we've been able to match look vaguely..
[9:37][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:alike.
[9:37][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Any other culture's pictograms seem to have a match, or at least an influence?
[9:38][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Teir's got his new foot and is waiting for us at Nexus 2... Vaax is sleeping it off." *he grunted between punches.
[9:38][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "No... I really wish we had a sample of ancient Chantry writing, I have a feeling that would fill in some of the gaps...
[9:39][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That may be a good question to forward to the citadel. The Kzari have been fighting them for a while, maybe an artifact or two dropped into their hands at some point.
[9:39][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "You still believe this artifact corresponds to the Beryxian-Chantry divide?
[9:40][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Aye ma'am, it's the only wah that a Beryxian artifact all the way out here makes sense.
[9:41][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"That's good. You started yoru review syet?
[9:41][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Already finished 'em.
[9:42][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Has Jagoda taken a look at the veracysium itself yet? He may find something about the material of the box itself that eludes us.
[9:42][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Are they more than just did their job and did not die?
[9:43][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "I'll add your suggestion to my report to the captain, Lieutenant T'Ghor. Though at this point I do not know that it would be of high priority for the Kzari.
[9:43][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Likely not. Still, every little lead we could grasp on would be good.
[9:43][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "What else is there to review them for?
[9:43][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*eh laughed* Several of yoru ensigns shoudl be reachign promotion boards
[9:44][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "I marked down the ones that deserve it.
[9:45][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Does vaax stand amongst them?
[9:45][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Truly. I am most intrigued by this artifact; it may represent something of great importance to both the Beryxian people and the Chantry. A bridge of more than just DNA, but culture.
[9:46][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Di dyou see the Hazard team initiative to reinstate them. I am certain as soon as we are no longer on extension from our smaller delta delta contingent will likely be reassigned. Vaax may be a goo
[9:46][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:candidate to lead the unit
[9:46][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It may also cause a diplomatic clusterfuck.
[9:47][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Not my call to make, in any case.
[9:48][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "All discoveries have this potential, Lieutenant. We are seekers of truth. What is done with this truth after is up to those who that truth pertains to.
[9:49][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Heh, can you even imagine the Beryxians suddenly going into an emo evil rebellious phase cause we hauled this dark chest of wonders up to their door?
[9:49][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fair enough, Commander. It is worrying, though. Last thing we or the beryxians need is the Chantry taking more of an interest in them.
[9:49][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles at Orestes.* "At least Beryxians, we can handle.
[9:50][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Throw them a shirtless Rhys and run.
[9:50][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:And likely the thruth will be different for both races given their dvid
[9:50][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Turns and nods at Valkriss' voice.* "Commander.
[9:50][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She gave Orestes a cold stare, then looked back toward the door.* "Commander Valkriss.
[9:50][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Besides, Vaax is going to be my replacement." *He finished with the bag.
[9:51][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-nods as she enters ther oom somemore- Lieutenants..Commande
[9:51][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"You finally taking promotion?
[9:51][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:I did not mean to interup
[9:51][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You're not interrputing, Commander. It is idle speculation at this point.
[9:52][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Hell no. But if I'm not dead by the end of the year I'm getting out of this shitehole.
[9:52][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he racked the weight laughing
[9:52][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-nods
[9:52][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Seeking an alpha quadrant position?
[9:52][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The next important part will be on Nexus two, when we actually tell the beryxians what we got." *He looks at the box with badly-hidden curiosity.
[9:54][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Aye. Thinking finding myself an island off the coast back home. Sit in a little house, drink myself through a few livers, and never deal with this shit again.
[9:54][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:....or should the Chantry learn what we hav
[9:55][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ever the optimist, Commander.
[9:55][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Retirement then?
[9:55][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- Keeps me aliv
[9:56][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he started his next set
[9:56][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, the Chantry hasn't found this box in all that time... I doubt they even know what it is.
[9:56][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Or did not know..where it was or if it survived
[9:57][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "I put in my time, my pounds of flesh. All I'm doing now is keeping the seat occupied while someone else more interested in the job flails under me.
[9:58][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"There is something to be said for retiring alive.
[9:58][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] *He gave a slight chuckle.* "That's assuming I make it through the year, anyway.
[9:59][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Which would make it even more of a bargaining chip if we could get it somewhere secured.
[9:59][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Or cause the location it is secured at to become a target.
[9:59][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He frowned some.
[10:00][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It is my worry as well. But for now, let us hope the chantry is unaware of our discovery.
[10:00][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He looked up at Li.* "Deer lady...
[10:00][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Once we contact the beryxians, though... who knows how secure the information would be?
[10:01][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li frowns.* Deer lady
[10:01][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li frowns.* Deer lady
[10:01][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "It will be Command's call to make, not ours. They may decide to keep it classified and deny our request to work with the Beryxians for security concerns.
[10:01][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We are not garuanteed the next day.
[10:02][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Or orders us to ferry this further to the Citade
[10:02][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He nodded.* "Deer lady singed to me," *he told Li matter-of-factly.
[10:02][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:In your dream
[10:03][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He rubs his ridges.* "Indeed...
[10:03][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Ain't that the truth. Anyway, be nice to just be a normal person again. Stuck on your own rock, making your own fate instead of riding out whatever madness the galaxy tosses your way this.
[10:03][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Coffee, anyone?" *He stepped to the replicator to get himself another large cup.
[10:03][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:week.
[10:04][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Yes please -nods gratefully
[10:04][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He shook his head.* "When I was asleep!
[10:04][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Right
[10:05][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yeah, refuel me.
[10:05][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Deer lady wants to take Adrian away from Fa
[10:05][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Truthfullly that is what my mother would have me be. A lanista at my ludus outside Capua.
[10:05][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"But i would not have been abel to depthcharge a synthetic sea monster there.
[10:06][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He frowned.* "Deer lady lonely.
[10:06][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right.. how did you take yours, Commander?
[10:06][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li frowns.
[10:06][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Black..two sugars -moves over tos tudy the box some
[10:06][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He took his and delivered Orestes a cup of her own while he waited for Valkriss' order, having learned how most of the science team drinks it.
[10:07][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*And delivers Valkriss hers afterwards.* "Bon appetit.
[10:07][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Probably not, but you also wouldn't have been stuck in an underwater shuttle with a bunch of pricks.
[10:07][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*laughs
[10:08][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-smikrs and nods..taking a sip
[10:08][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She sipped her cup.* "So... we're all in agreement, it's definitely the Chantry's ancient porn stash, right?
[10:09][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:What did she sing
[10:09][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She narrowed her eyes at Orestes.* "Lieutenant...
[10:09][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, I have always had a thing about nuns.
[10:09][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Be funnny were it to be something equivilan
[10:10][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We do not know how widespread the use of veracysium was in the chantry's olden days... It could very well be something like that.
[10:11][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He tried to sing a tune, but there was definitely something lost in the translation from timeless being to an off-pitch two-year-old.
[10:11][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:One wonders were they even religous back then
[10:12][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li enjoys being sung to by Adrian anyway, tryhing to sing along.
[10:12][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "There's no way to know... I mean, unless the writing says it when we translate it.
[10:13][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They are not so bad.
[10:14][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Agree to disagree. But I tend to hate most people I meet anyway.
[10:14][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The Chantry is one of the local factions we know less about... This could be a treasure trove of information. -Even- if it's porn.
[10:15][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She pinched the bridge of ehr nose lightly.* "From a... strictly anthropological standpoint, perhaps.
[10:15][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he changes to an inside grip
[10:16][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Not only, Commander. Let us take... humans, for example. There's tons of films about Cleopatra, for example. While not truly historically accurate, they were based on a real historical figure, 
[10:16][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And myths and rumours about her.
[10:16][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-darkly- I believe the Chantry showed us enough of what they are about in their actions in the Acrima Syste
[10:17][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We know nothing of their history or what set them down this path, though, Commander.
[10:17][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:and when they unleashed the plaqueonthe Brexyian
[10:17][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "We have the Beryxian legend, but that's... well, rewritten into an opera, so who knows.
[10:18][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...The kick-dance-fighting was pretty impressive though...
[10:18][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- I too enjoyed tha
[10:18][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It was fun, agreed.
[10:20][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Anyway. My point being, Vaax is getting put down for promotion in the hopes he can pick up where I left off when I kick rocks.
[10:21][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded and continued his set
[10:25][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila finished chest and moved on to curls
[10:26][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She turned and lit up as there was an alert on her screen.* "Ooh, what is this... hmm, seventy percent potential match with one of the runes!
[10:27][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, yes?" *He leaned in to watch.
[10:28][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She brought up one of the runes placed next to another from the database.* "It looks like... a plural form of ancient Beryxian 'to kill.'
[10:29][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "If it is a funerary monument of sarcophogus, that would not be unusual.
[10:29][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh... That's not particularly comforting.
[10:29][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*or )
[10:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Those usually have -some- indication of being closed, at least, Commander. This thing looks like it has never been opened, nor closed... It just looks like it was always a rectangle.
[10:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Could always be a weapon," *she mused.
[10:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Veracysium -is- the perfect material to hide a bomb in.
[10:31][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No way to detect the explosive at all.
[10:32][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "And it would keep the reactive components inside perfectly preserved until some idiot decided to mind meld with it or something.
[10:33][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She side-eyed Orestes.
[10:34][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "I find it unlikely that it would have been protected by its aquatic defense system were it rigged to explode upon opening.
[10:36][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded.* "That is a fair point.
[10:39][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "With the extent to which the Apostate races go to create and harvest veracysium, any item created from it must be of great importance.
[10:39][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She turned back around to study the box.* "This was something special, something of value hidden at great effort.
[10:40][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Even so... I cannot help but worry if it has somehow lost its value. Surely the Chantry would have looked for it.
[10:41][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Unless they had no idea that it existed... and perhaps were never meant to know.
[10:42][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles.* Fa loves Adrian
[10:43][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He beamed.* "Can I have hors?
[10:43][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Curious...
[10:44][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-softly- To serve man..
[10:44][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We cannot know tonight, it seems." *He sighs, staring at the box as if just that would cause it to open.
[10:44][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Hey, at least if it's a cookbook, we know the recipes weren't made with -our- meat in mind.
[10:45][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Well I meant..it mightnot be a cookbook...that is just one symbol.
[10:45][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:The to serve man reference meant..it might me ins ervice too..of right tot ehbuffet platte
[10:47][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Indeed. We still have not matched nearly enough of the runes to get a proper context.
[10:47][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- Might even be their version of 'To Kill a Mockingbird
[10:48][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Hors
[10:49][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Horsie, fa!
[10:49][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles.* Horsie
[10:49][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li goes to retrieve a plush horsie for Adrian.
[10:50][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He was way too busy eyeing T'Rel to even hear the last few things being said.
[10:50][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Horsie
[10:51][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Based on its weight, it's very unlikely to be solid veracysium... it must either be hollow or composed of lighter material on the interior.
[10:51][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded his head eagerly to T'Rel's words.
[10:52][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- I wonder if we rub it..will we summon a new friend like we have never had befor
[10:53][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "I believe that was the thought process behind the Kirtascans' attempt to exorcise the demon in the crystal at Hessok Vridi, Commander.
[10:53][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Adrian took the plush and tried to ride it. He just ended up sitting on it.
[10:53][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Fair poin
[10:53][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-nods
[10:54][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li laughs.* Adrian...that horsie is not for riding
[10:54][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Fa ride hors?
[10:54][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He -almost- snaps out of it by the mention of hessok vridi, but the tip of T'Rel's ears is much more interesting than paying attention.
[10:54][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li goes to replicate a proper toy horsie that Adrian could ride.
[10:54][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She eyed T'Ghor as he stared at T'Rel, then smirked at Valkriss.
[10:55][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-swats T'Ghor's shoulders with a sharp silent strike
[10:55][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He got on the toy horsie and started rocking on it.* "Wheeeee!
[10:56][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li grins, going over to make sure Adrian didn't fall.
[10:56][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Jumped up a bit as he's swatted.* "What?
[10:56][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Horsie
[10:57][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-smirked at Orestes- So the veraacysium...may not be what theobject within is made of
[10:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Veracysium is typically used for concealment, Commander, it's very likely whatever is inside is something else.
[10:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He said, hoping he didn't sound too out of place, having missed who knows how much of the convo looking at T'Rel's backside.
[10:58][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila moved over to work shoulders
[10:58][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Veracysium's oh-so-helpful resistance to proper scanning doesn't leave us with any idea -what,- but if it's not as heavy as solid veracysium should be, it's a good guesstimate.
[10:59][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] *He went over to work on his next set.
[10:59][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Fa ride?" *He looked at Li.
[11:01][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Uhhh...Fa is...very big
[11:01][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She peered at the box.* "In fact. What if that's exactly why we can't open it?
[11:01][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "The box is inside... the veracysium poured over it to seal it shut...
[11:02][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-snaps her fingers- The Veracysium is the sea
[11:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's a good idea...
[11:02][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Big hors!
[11:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, that means we -can- snap it open... with a mining laser.
[11:02][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Um...
[11:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, I never said it is safe or advisable.
[11:02][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:That part weas clea
[11:03][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I wonder what the science team has dsicovered about the artifact.
[11:03][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "We would want to properly translate the runes first... it would hopefully inform us of exactly what we would be getting into should we choose such an action.
[11:03][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- If her theory is right...then mine waas to
[11:03][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:This box was seen to by 'Top Men...Top Men
[11:04][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "It's probably another giant magic woman who melts faces and eats souls," *he grunted.
[11:04][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles and goes to replicate a Li size toy hors.
[11:04][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"You have read Eren's paper then?
[11:05][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Li replicates Alice... er, a horsie on a stick.
[11:05][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah.. .probably wise to translate the writing before we crack it open...
[11:05][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li takes the hors on a stick and stands next to Adrian.
[11:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Skimmed it, anyway. Read the graph.
[11:06][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Gid-yup!" *He beamed.
[11:07][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It does seem.. convenient so much of this galaxy is dominated by such beings. Though I suppose it does prove that A galaxy ruled by women is not free of war as the old earth philosphers use to claim
[11:08][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Giddie-up
[11:08][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "I thought these ones were less 'female centric' and more 'entities without true forms who picked images that represent themselves and most end up being hot, terrifying women.'
[11:08][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"The azreyane are all female.
[11:09][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"The Avynei have men but seem lead by women. The Dark references herself as a mother.
[11:09][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Just abotu every species we meet outside of the Kirtascaans and Tanusians seem Matriachly aligned.
[11:09][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Well, yeah, but that's a species instead of a noncorporeal titan-god-Ctulhu.
[11:09][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Not so certain it is different
[11:09][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Maybe not.
[11:10][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"When I was on baord the Azreyane ship i asked Zava what happened to their males after seeign artwork that contained them,
[11:10][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He rocked happily.
[11:10][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"The Dark slaughtered them all as punishment.
[11:11][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rides the horsie next to Adrian, laughing happily.
[11:11][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Its possible that they utilize the female form at random but something tells me that it si purposeful and deliberate. AS Juna scorned.
[11:13][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "That, and, well, it's easier to continue a population if you kill all the men instead of all the women. Still, I get what you mean. There are a lot of angry women around here.
[11:13][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Or people fearing their wrath.
[11:14][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he chuckled
[11:14][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Best to just stay out of that whole mess, it's how you stay alive and intact.
[11:15][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Possibly
[11:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Just hope that vulcan lady knows better than to let T'Ghor try to touch it.
[11:18][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"T'rel. I have nto had much interaciton with her.
[11:19][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "She keeps to herself. So a model officer in my book.
[11:19][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'ghor had half a mind to try and touch the box.
[11:19][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"yes for a non department head maybe, Nto a LT Commander.
[11:19][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She side-eyed T'Ghor.
[11:20][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Was being good and not touching anything.
[11:20][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It would seem she sticks to herself liekly because she sees her self as lacking experience. and thus logically should stick top her specialty.
[11:20][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he racked the weight
[11:20][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Experience on a bridge i mean.
[11:21][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Not everyone was meant for a bridge. I think they were just low on officers of the right rank in Magellan.
[11:22][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Most likley, entirity of starfleet is low on officers.
[11:22][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] *She turned to the others.* "I trust you will be fine without my supervision?
[11:22][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Even with relaxed standards replacing is hard. After twenty plus years of war a time of relative peace is goign to see a reduced recruitment due to the danger of a hot spot again.
[11:23][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-side eyes T'Ghor at this
[11:24][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We will be, commander.
[11:24][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Ain't that the truth. Maybe one of the others will step up soon enough, though. That girl, Orestes, seems to be taking on a lot of science duties since she got here.
[11:24][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"She is capable.
[11:25][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Rel] "Very well." *She stiffly strode out without another word.
[11:25][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right.. Orestes, you should get some rest soon. Will be easier to translate on a fresh head.
[11:26][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Yeah... something's off about her, though, I can't quite figure it out.
[11:27][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Noo way, I'm going to hang out here and wait for the computer to chug through the translations. Maybe we'll find out it's the tomb of someone's pet doberman.
[11:27][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Have you looked into ehr file?
[11:28][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Alright. If you fall asleep on duty tomorrow, T'Rel will be pissed, though.
[11:28][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "It's perfectly clean, nothing out of place..." *he sighed.* "Almost too perfect.
[11:28][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Exactly.
[11:29][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Uh, that's why we invented coffee.
[11:29][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It is very likely she was on several classified projects. But that is not unsusual.
[11:29][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks at that
[11:29][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm pretty sure the guys in Sickbay would be very glad to hear that.
[11:29][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Yes those types always swear by caffin
[11:30][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "With the Salvation agents that have popped up in this fleet before... well, can never be too careful.
[11:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And preach to others how bad it can be for you in large doses.
[11:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She made a dismissive motion.* "Just replace whatever you damage, it's the twenty-fifth century for crying out loud.
[11:32][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles
[11:32][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He laughs.* "You only have one set of each.
[11:32][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Yes they love that talk to
[11:32][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We klingons have it easier.
[11:32][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Fa?" *He looked at Li.
[11:32][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Could be that.
[11:32][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:We tendto be redundan
[11:32][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Yes
[11:33][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Could also be she was on a project like lumination during the iconian war, workign with gateways. She is an astrophysicist
[11:33][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, that's why you replace them when they start getting bad, not when they're unsalvageable.
[11:34][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- Where is the fun in that
[11:34][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think it was Amanar who had a discount for livers on all of Risa.
[11:35][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:YEs ..needed until the Admiral banned the Dizzy Lizzy drin
[11:35][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Well, she can be from wherever so long as she doesn't commit war crimes or mutiny.
[11:35][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Bad call on the admiral's side.
[11:36][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She shook her head.* "And we call the Kzari fascist.
[11:36][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles- Was it Eren that passedout in frontof te Admiral after she drank one
[11:36][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No idea.
[11:36][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Can we ride real hors?
[11:36][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:As I understand it...that is what did i
[11:37][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Before my time, anyway." *She drank her coffee.
[11:37][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Of course
[11:37][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I mean, it's pretty typical of Eren. The admiral didn't see anything out of the norm.
[11:39][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Yes yes..it was Eren and Kria...they landed on that poor little fairy Officer from the Adagi
[11:39][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Yay! Gidyup!!
[11:39][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li picks up Adrian.
[11:40][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Wheeee." *He went UP!
[11:41][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Little Skye.
[11:41][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Haven't seen her in a while.
[11:41][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles and takes Adrian out towards the holodeck.
[11:41][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Agreed
[11:41][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Yes that was her name..she got smushe
[11:41][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh... it wasn't fatal, was it?
[11:42][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He waved to the people they passed in the hall.
[11:42][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No... she made it. I saw her a few times after Risa.
[11:42][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li chuckles.* Adrian say hi
[11:43][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Hi...
[11:43][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sar] *He stared at the little hujoran from high above Li's head.
[11:43][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- I didntmean it was afatalsmushing T'Gho
[11:43][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Orestes asked.
[11:43][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles.* There ya go
[11:44][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Though..." *he smirked.* "I have a feeling she's not even Greek.
[11:45][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li stands next to the holodeck doors, inputting a scenario that involves a pony already saddled and bridled in a field.
[11:45][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"None of the ones on earth are.
[11:45][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"they are mostly from a region delcared to be greece.
[11:45][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, surely there's always hope to petition the admiral for a recall of such a barbaric rule.
[11:46][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I mean, not if you value your rank, your life, and your balls.
[11:46][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Well new Admira
[11:46][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Kalavek bannedit..not Compto
[11:47][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Can't say I put much stock in my balls, no.
[11:47][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"But Kalavek retired. So now, we gotta take it up with Compton.
[11:47][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "A-huh, I'll take your word for it.
[11:47][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And -I- don't wanna be the one to do it.
[11:47][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He pointed at the horse, then gave Li the 'I'm gonna say it' grin.
[11:49][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Think about it this way, how many different culturs conquered britannia
[11:49][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:...yeah hard pass for me to
[11:49][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Even your ancestors in wales were not their originally pushing out a different tribe, adopting some of their customs but instillign their own language. as the Picts were pushed further north,
[11:49][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, Compton's not that bad if you've been through boarding school with a crazy headmistress..." *She had a far away look.
[11:50][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He chuckles.* "Was it one of those catholic all-girls ones?
[11:50][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles and carries Adrian over to the pony. He carefully sets Adrian down on its back.
[11:50][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Yeah, yeah, I know. I was making a joke, forget it.
[11:50][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-rolls her eyes
[11:51][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Sorry. Sometimes human is still lso tin translation.
[11:51][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Because i speak english, i don't have the translator on for it.
[11:51][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"But my form is still yet abit different than standard.
[11:51][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'm not going to answer that..." *She eyed T'Ghor.* "Besides, I thought you were into mature women.
[11:52][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It was a joke... And hey, nothing wrong with mature women!" *He said defensively.
[11:52][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "Yeah, you're fine. My meaning more was that I'm wondering if Orestes isn't a taken name.
[11:52][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:..with pointed ear
[11:53][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You know Commander T'Rel is a married woman, right?
[11:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Not neccessarily." *He grumbled at valkriss.
[11:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I know, I know! I was just... appreciating her rigid vulcan posture.
[11:53][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:How could he tell..his gaze was fixed on her backsid
[11:53][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Facepalms
[11:54][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Did you even hear half of what she was saying?" *She teased with a grin.
[11:54][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes... She was talking about the box.
[11:54][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He looked down at the pony, petting its mane.* "Kitty.
[11:54][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Well how oculd he..he migfhts missed how shasarp her ear points were for,e
[11:55][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:form3d
[11:55][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Orestes with a playful smirk
[11:55][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"As I said, I do not neccessarily look for pointed ears.
[11:56][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "But they don't hurt, do they?
[11:56][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, no.
[11:56][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- You were imagining her throwing furniture at you..while you read her peotry from yor knee
[11:57][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I was not! I was thinking work things.
[11:57][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Uhh...hors
[11:57][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I would not look that way at a superior officer.
[11:57][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She mimicked T'Rel's voice with scary accuracy as she deadpanned,* "Teach me to think illogically, Lieutenant Daddy.
[11:57][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-roars with laughternow
[11:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ancestors, that was close to the real thing.
[11:58][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:I /knew / it
[11:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"What/
[11:58][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:(?*
[11:58][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She laughed.
[11:58][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:You are hopeles
[11:59][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I was just saying Orestes sounded like her!
[11:59][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles more as she fits for breath
[11:59][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "His name's Kitty..." *he insisted.
[11:59][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Uhhh...oh. Okay
[11:59][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Laugh it up...
[12:00][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:and to think..she andi was here when it bega
[12:00][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"When what began?
[12:01][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:..So do I now have to watch you around the skipper too
[12:01][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You weren't already?
[12:01][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"What? No!
[12:01][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Could be.
[12:02][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Orestes could be a cover identity. Maybe she's SFI.
[12:02][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She's my captain, Kahless' sake!
[12:03][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Rhys] "With all this ship gets up to, I suppose I can't blame them for wanting someone keeping an eye on things.
[12:03][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Indeed.
[12:03][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "That doesn't always stop people in this fleet.
[12:03][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Is Kitty nice
[12:03][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"..Okay, that's a fair point.
[12:03][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:She has a poin
[12:03][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-laughs-
[12:04][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "No!
[12:04][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He grins.* "Well, T'Pang's not my type.
[12:04][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li frowns.* Why not
[12:04][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "No feelings," *he informed Li.
[12:04][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:I wouldve thought thesametil T'Rel tonigh
[12:05][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Ohhh
[12:05][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Are you saying all vulcans are the same, Commander?
[12:05][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:But wow did you get caughtred hande
[12:05][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ooooh, Starfleet HR would -love- to hear this.
[12:05][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-laughs0 Dntpuch thi sback at m
[12:05][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I think ti was less the vulcan factor and more that she's a grown, mature woman who still looks fine for her age.
[12:05][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:MR wow look at those sweet vulcan ham halv
[12:05][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You didn't catch me red handed!
[12:06][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I was not looking at any "Ham"!
[12:06][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Oh no? thenw hy are you yelling at u
[12:06][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:?
[12:06][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Because you're acting dumb.
[12:06][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Me thinks he doth protest too much.
[12:06][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Well, you got hors
[12:07][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Oh yes I agree -toOrestes
[12:07][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Pouts.
[12:07][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Gidyup!!
[12:07][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Aww do not make the Ilya pouty fac
[12:07][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...I am not being like Ilya.
[12:07][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Careful..
[12:08][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-grumbly gfrowl vocie- I am not being like Ily
[12:08][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:grumbly growly voice
[12:09][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He trotted the holopony around, occasionally swaying a bit hard to the side, enough to make Li very grateful for the advanced safety controls.
[12:09][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"This is no fair... If I responded, you'd just pull rank on me.
[12:09][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles.* Good job
[12:09][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Why would i do that
[12:09][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Did you just pull lower rank?" *She grinned.
[12:10][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-snickers
[12:10][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If you only ganged up on the dark's forces like you did on me...
[12:10][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They wouldn't have a chance.
[12:10][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Uh, what do you think the Dawn fuckin' Alliance is for?
[12:10][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Oh ..do you need a hug
[12:11][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The dawn alliance seems a lot less efficient than you two's viciousness.
[12:11][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He looked to Valkriss.* "No I don't.
[12:11][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- Youl survive T'Gho
[12:12][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Grumbles something about not liking T'Rel that way.
[12:12][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Speaskingof Ilya..its about time i headed down for dinner...keep me updated and informed you two pleas
[12:12][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Now I'm really having boarding school flashbacks," *she snickered.
[12:12][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-snickers more
[12:13][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yes ma'am, I'll be here.
[12:13][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right... Good evening, Commander.
[12:13][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Good night -turns and walks ot snickering amsued
[12:13][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He rode in lopsided circles around Li.
[12:14][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Goes to sit down at a console defeated.
[12:15][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...You gotta admit it's a nice backside, though.
[12:15][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li beams.* Grown Adrian can ride hors
[12:15][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You need help, dude. Or at least to get laid.
[12:16][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"By klingon rules, I cannot.
[12:16][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I mean, I technically broke the rules once, but that was an alternate timeline kind of thing, and it doesn't really count.
[12:17][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "What, did you cut your dick off in some honour ceremony? They make devices that can help.
[12:17][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nah, klingons mate for life. My mate's gone, so I cannot in good conscience get laid again.
[12:18][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Uh... doesn't 'for life' just mean 'until one of us dies?'
[12:19][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"There's different interpretations of the tradition, depending on the region.
[12:19][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Kind of like how humans celebrate easter on different dates.
[12:19][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "And let me guess, yours is the one that lets you wallow in self pity and thoughts of honour instead of moving on with your life.
[12:20][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Bingo.
[12:20][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"My grandpa was a dahar master, he'd probably pull something if he knew I so much as dared to look at someone's ass.
[12:21][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You don't strike me as that traditional of a Klingon, though. Besides, your grandpa is in another galaxy, what he thinks isn't really relevant.
[12:23][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I try to be more modern. Keyword is try. And I dunno. I guess I haven't really been interested in anyone. Apart from our previous chief engineer.
[12:24][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She shrugged.* "It hits you when you don't look for it, I found. Just don't fuck yourself over by refusing to let it happen when you do finally find a mature vulcan woman who -isn't- ..
[12:24][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:married." *She chuckled.
[12:24][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Rolls his eyes and chuckles.* "Yeah, don't worry, I'm no homewrecker.
[12:25][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Besides, she probably has kids my age, that would be awkward.
[12:25][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "This ship doesn't have room for two." *She chuckled then.* "Ohh, you have no idea...
[12:25][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sounds like personal experience right there...
[12:26][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "I get big like hors?" *He looked at Li.
[12:26][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Yup
[12:26][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "No... I just happen to know who her daughter is.
[12:27][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "...I can be hors?
[12:27][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:No
[12:27][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hrm... I don't think I know any vulcans who look like they can be related to her.
[12:28][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Mm... you know a lot of people from the Sentinel?
[12:28][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Noooo! You don't mean the ice queen?
[12:28][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He frowned.* "I wanna!
[12:29][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She laughed.* "T'Rel literally referred to her by her rank earlier, did you notice that? God, imagine growing up a vulcan...
[12:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I mean, my father hated me, but he at least had the guts to show it by beating me with a chair.
[12:30][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Adrian...you are a boy, not a hors
[12:30][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Reffering to her by her rank like that is just cold.
[12:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Sad thing is... I don't think that's even hate, I think that's just..." *She shook her head.* "I don't even know what.
[12:32][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Vulcan parenting, I guess.
[12:32][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Does explain a lot of the reports I've read from the Sentinel...
[12:32][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wait, you read those?
[12:33][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, not -recently.-
[12:33][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You used to be security?
[12:33][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "I wanna be a hors, fa!
[12:34][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She smirked.* "No, but I had friends who were.
[12:34][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Still, you'd go through -her- mountains of reports? Even I've heard legends about them.
[12:35][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li sighs.* Adrian...you are a wonderful young boy. Ma and Fa would be sad if you become a hors instead
[12:35][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Look, some of them actually had useable information if you go through the pile.
[12:36][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He looked crestfallen.* "Okay...
[12:36][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I have a friend from the sentinel who claims about 75% of the reports are just complaints about her.
[12:37][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles.* If you were a hors...you wouldn't be able to hear Moo's thoughts
[12:37][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Or anyones, for that matter
[12:38][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She sighed.* "Look, my point is... let's just not piss T'Rel off, I have a feeling she can hurt you to your core with just a sentence or two.
[12:39][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Quiet?" *He asked.
[12:39][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.
[12:39][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He put his hands on his ears.
[12:40][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li looks at him strangely.
[12:40][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, I know. I am not being rude to her.
[12:40][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:What are you doing
[12:40][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Shhh.
[12:40][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li shrugs and shuts up.
[12:41][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He then smiled and reached for Li.
[12:42][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, I doubt it's even being rude. Just being anything less than adequate, really.
[12:42][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li tqakes Adrian in his arms.
[12:44][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Fa?" *he looked at Li with those big grey eyes.
[12:45][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Yes
[12:46][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Don't die," *he ordered.
[12:46][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li blinks.* I'm not planning on it
[12:46][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, yeah...
[12:46][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He nodded and hugged himself against Li's chest.* "Okay.
[12:46][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, don't worry. If I am anything less than adequate, there's also the murderbot stratops to worry about.
[12:47][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yeah, I'm sure you're worried.
[12:47][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Why would you think that
[12:47][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Deer lady...
[12:47][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li frurows his brow.* I'm not going to let the deer lady do that
[12:48][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Okay!" *He leaned his head on Li's shoulder.
[12:48][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She once listed the time she can kill me in.
[12:48][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can be worried.
[12:49][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles.* Seepy time
[12:49][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He nodded.
[12:49][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow.
[12:49][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods and takes Adrian off for seepy.
[12:49][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yeah, I'll be here.
[12:49][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sure... You really do need to rest sometimes, though.
[12:50][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "No rest for the wicked, didn't you know?
[12:51][DOIC5]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He chuckles and nods, headign out.*
