[5:54][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:We cut to a beauty shot of the Manta running alongside Caelian and the Alliance taskforce in deep space. The credits roll as we move through the Manta corridors and see the repairs teams in the fina
[5:54][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:stages of packing up as the crew of the Manta head to their stations for Alpha Watch
[5:54][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:[Mjolnir *to the editor* - thnx Kitty
[5:55][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:As we listen we can hear Marcus log being dictated as a vocie over..
[5:56][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine sat in his ready room, sprinkling a bit of a nutrient packet into his water lily before beginning his log.
[5:56][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Captain’s log, stardate 99785.51. Well, still haven’t woken up yet, so it would appear that this is, in fact, reality. Suppose there’s nothing left to do but accept my fate; they actually..
[5:57][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:promoted me to full commander, for better or worse. Technically there’s no real change to what I’ll be doing aboard the Manta, but I want to take advantage of this regardless. Try to turn over a..
[5:57][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:new leaf, open to the next chapter, whatever the hell metaphor you want to use. Captain Aquila had a point a few nights ago, I do tend to focus more on negatives than the positives. Not only that…
[5:58][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:the tone I sometimes hear in my voice when I’m getting pissed at the crew reminds me a bit too much of my dad for my liking. So screw it, let’s break another cycle and hope that I didn’t just jinx..
[5:58][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:myself. The repairs and resupplies are finished and I’m just waiting for coordinates from command… apparently this one’s going to be another classified operation. We’ll learn more about it once we.
[5:58][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:get there. End log.
[5:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-continues to run through the new updates on the ACCI
[5:59][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Hunkler] -begins running another simulation on his tactical console
[5:59][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Keeps an eye on the engineering, pacing slowly.
[6:00][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie] *on the bridge handign marcus a padd* Well sugar your all fixed up this the entire list of everything we did your darlign bootlegger of an chief engineer has a copy of it.

[6:01][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine sat up as Charlie just walked in.* "Oh." *he said with surprise, taking the PADD.* "Well, thank you. We appreciate the quick work.
[6:01][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kobay] -hands Bore a PADD- all systems in the green following the repair
[6:02][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine sat up as Charlie just walked in.* "Oh." *he said with surprise, taking the PADD.* "Well, thank you. We appreciate the quick work.
[6:02][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Perfect. Bets on how long ti takes until the next time everything goes to shit?
[6:02][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kobay] -smirks- With this ship...no bet Bos
[6:02][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie] its a charming ship i spent 15 years serving on a Core of Engineers saber class so i kinda had a leg up
[6:03][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Smart." *He scrolls through the PADD.
[6:03][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie] Well anyway i'll get out of your hair now, yall take care
[6:03][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded.* "Welcome back any time, now." *he chuckled.
[6:03][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kobay] Not one single Klingon replacement part on the whole list thoug
[6:04][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Don't worry, something else will magically find a way to screw up.
[6:04][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie] I'll take you up that commander
[6:04][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-chime
[6:04][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Taps a few commands into his own PADD looking over the technical specifications of the Dragon MK III Fighter.
[6:04][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Hopefully under better circumstances next time." *He looked at the door.* "Come in.
[6:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri taps away on her console, running diagnostics on the sensors. After a bit shepause and look underneath the console at the power coupling.-
[6:05][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore looks up at the bridge feed.* "...Oh no, Ezri is looking underneath her console.
[6:05][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...well that looks like a proper federation power coupling.
[6:06][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-the door opens to reveal a burly starfleet officer in a crisp pressed starfleet uniform, muscled, fit with a wee bit of a receeding hairline that gives him the impression of a human shark enters
[6:06][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"All diagnostic are looking good.
[6:06][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Ezri..we talked about this..no touchin
[6:06][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Thank you, V'Tira...
[6:06][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine looked the officer over.* "Can I help you?
[6:06][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am not touching V'Tira...I am looking.
[6:06][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Man] -nods to Charlie his uniformbears the rank of a four pipped captain
[6:07][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He stood up as soon as he noticed the pips.* "Sorry, sir.
[6:07][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..Anyway I know what I am doing, I am a highly trained professionhal.
[6:07][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Sets the PADD on his desk and runs a diagnostic on the flight control systems.
[6:07][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie]*nods* Well thats my cu
[6:07][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Captain] -to Marcus- Commander, I am Captain Rhoades...we need to talk before you depart
[6:07][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*charlie headed out past the captain
[6:07][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] You do good work...well don
[6:07][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-to Charlie
[6:08][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie] Thank you sir
[6:08][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded after Charlie, then looked at Rhoades as the door shut behind her.* "Can I get you anything, Captain?
[6:08][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -nods again and then clears the door for her by stepping into Marcus desk and smirks- What did you have in mind Commander
[6:08][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena inventoried soem things in sickbay
[6:09][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Depends on the nature of your visit. Coffee is pretty universal for both good and bad news, though." *He went to the replicator.
[6:09][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods once- But ...looking can often lead to touchin
[6:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Smiles at his console.* "Atta girl.
[6:10][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -nods as if Marcus just passed some kindof test- Coffee...black pleas
[6:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--gives V'Tira a look, then touches the console defiantly as she watches.-
[6:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-a single sigh- Ezri...I can nerve pinch you
[6:11][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am pretty sure that is a myth.
[6:11][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He acquired two black coffees from the replicator and headed back to the desk, setting one down in front of a chair and motioning to it.* "So should I be worried or thrilled right now?
[6:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I see...keep touching things you should then
[6:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:should not
[6:12][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--touches the console again.-
[6:12][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I love Ezri but sometimes I want to beat her upside the head with a spanner...
[6:12][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Am I going to have to call security on you two?
[6:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-walks over calmly and rests her right hand on her best friend's shoulder- Last warnin
[6:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Hunkler] ...guy
[6:13][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -sits across from him and takes a sip of the hot coffee- Depends on yur pointof view...I am impressed you are back up to speed ahead of time..speaks to your crerw's efficienc
[6:14][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"its my duty station V'Tira. I can't believe you guy don't trust me that much.
[6:14][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Dalby] She wont do it..not to Ezr
[6:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:It is not a matter of trust..you are a trained science specialist..not an enginee
[6:14][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"She wouldn't... though that would be fun to watch.
[6:15][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -another sip- That was a compliment commander -smirks
[6:15][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He took his own chair.* "In no small part due to the assistance from the Mjolnir's engineering staff. But they are still good at what they do.
[6:16][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am not Engineering it...I have to touch the console to run the sensors.
[6:16][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -nods and sets a small disk on the desk a little antennae grows out of it and hums softly and then goes silent
[6:16][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:However you do not need to touch anything beneatht he console nor within i
[6:17][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine blinked at the disk, tilting his head slightly.* "What is that?
[6:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i was just looking. I wanted to see how the repair work looked.
[6:17][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] That is to ensure our privacy Commander -reaches into his tunic and pulls out a PADD and hands it to Marcus
[6:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am naturally curious...Its what makes me a good scientist.
[6:18][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Now where do I get one of those?" *he smirked as he took the PADD and looked at it.
[6:18][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Pulls his PADD off the desk and continues to review the fighters from the Mjolnir specifications.
[6:19][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] in a few hours ..an inflitration operation into the Brexyian system. We can only monitor it so much due to system dampners and well that is the location for a large mass of apostate force
[6:19][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods- As long as we rememebr..look and not to touch. Yes
[6:20][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I had a feeling Beryxia was next after we heard the news," *he said with a frown.
[6:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I promise V'Tira I won't touch any of the stuff under or behind the console.
[6:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"
[6:20][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] We want you and yor ship...nearby as a back up extraction in case things go wrong...horribly wrong. Plus it is a good way to gain further ELIN
[6:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..unless specifically ordered to do so by a superior officer.
[6:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods squeezes her friends shoulders withboth hands gently and nods once- We understand one another then -she goesback to her own console
[6:22][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's a good call with--- holy shit, the Pilgrim took a Stalker?" *He blinked at the file.* "Why do they get to have all-- I mean, that's... impressive.
[6:22][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] If all goes as planned..you will be doingnothing more than laying idle in the Brexyian Oort cloud for the duration picking up what signals you ca
[6:22][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Wish we could get our hands on one of those fighters in the Mjolnir's hangar.
[6:22][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] You go out and capture one..and we will let you and your people play with it the
[6:22][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-the man sips his coffee
[6:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah those fighters are pretty cool, but I don't think the manta has room for that kind of stuff.
[6:24][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:We do no
[6:24][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He eyed Rhoades with that.* "Can I get that in writing?" *he smirked, then put the PADD down.* "Hang out on the Oort cloud in case T'Pang and friends get themselves into a shitshow. Sounds..
[6:24][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:straightforward enough to me.
[6:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..Like the Astrometric lab on the Mjolnir..it was amazing. I wish we had one. But, I don't knwo where we would put it.
[6:24][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"That's why it's mostly a wish.
[6:25][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -chuckles and nods- Sure..and that is largely what it is..between Shaya nd V'Tira..they should be able to monitor enough for ELINT as well as this Ezri of yours to track as many ships as sh
[6:25][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:can...and well..your pilot..seems crazy enough to dodge the ice and rocks
[6:26][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at V'Tira-- "Did I tell you Melody incorporated the algorithms I developed for my 'temoral observatory' as part of her system for detecting and predicting IMperium wormhole incursions.
[6:26][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"They'll love it," *he nodded.* "Anything else you have for me, or is this 'good luck and have fun?'
[6:27][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -onelast sip of his coffee- One more thing...rules of engagement...if discovered..you will withdraw..escape and evade
[6:27][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-looks over to her- I am hardly surprised, that work was brilliant Ezr
[6:28][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it makes me feel good that someone is putting it to use for something important.
[6:28][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Stares at the viewport for a few minutes. His eyes narrow a bit then he relaxes.
[6:28][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Don't worry, I won't try to stay and fight an entire Imperium invasion fleet by myself. We can't exactly blow up Beryxia's star without a lot of people getting mad.
[6:28][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades[ there is a nearby ..deslote little star ssytem named LMC-2048...that is to be yur fall back point
[6:29][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] it offers enough debris to hide in..in casewe need you to head back in to assis
[6:29][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded.* "2048, understood.
[6:29][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] Any questions
[6:31][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*The hairs on the back of his neck stood up as a chill rand down his spine. He leans forward and looks around without turning his head.
[6:31][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He sucked on his cheek a moment.* "None that spring to mind. We'll figure out anything else.
[6:31][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she catagorizes the new plasma stores
[6:31][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*taking special note to mark the skara for skara only
[6:32][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Lets out a long sigh and relaxes back into his chair.
[6:32][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] This PADD has the ACCI frequencies that will keep you connected with me...I tend to hope ships currently. But full ENCOM once in system understood
[6:33][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yes, sir. Even to T'Pang's gang?
[6:33][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] yes even to them..you are to listen only..they wil only kno wyou are there if they are in deep..and need yourhel
[6:34][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Stalk the Stalker, you've got it.
[6:34][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] They are aware they have exfil back up..but for both of your sakes..its best to keep that at a minimu
[6:34][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -smirks andnods- Yes..in a snes
[6:35][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, then I think we're both ready to go, sir." *he downed the rest of his coffee.
[6:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-a shadow looms over ZHal from behind
[6:36][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*He closes his eyes and then turns his head to the left ever so slightly allowing his eyes to cut to the side to see who had come up behind him.
[6:36][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -likewise finishes his and stands- Good hunting Captain...you make it back...there will be a botle waiting for you depending on how good the stuff if you pulll for u
[6:36][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-and finds himself staring right into a pair of yelow and black serpentine eyes
[6:37][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He stood up as well.* "I'll hold you to it, sir.
[6:37][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kelvor\] Sir _hands Bore a PADD
[6:37][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Thanks, Kel." *he looks down into the PADD
[6:37][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Rhoades] -nods- Im good for..-hits his combadge and he beams out
[6:38][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-the little disk sputters and poofs leavinghis desk unmarred
[6:38][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked at the PADD again, scrolling through it.* "And stabbed a Tanny captain in the chest... oh, come on...
[6:38][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kelvor] its a full run down on the engines..we are all in the gree
[6:39][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*He turns fully in his chair to look back into those serpentine eyes.
[6:39][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Beautiful. We're good for whatever command throws at us.
[6:39][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He shook his head, rubbed his jaw for a moment, then headed out to the bridge.
[6:39][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Lyssa] -backs up some and rears up and offers him a PADD- A gift my roommate..you left so quickly this monring I didnt have time to give it to yo
[6:39][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh...it looks like they managed to upgrade some of the sensor modules while they were working...that makes sense considering our intel gathering missions.
[6:40][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He walked onto the bridge.* "Report.
[6:40][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed it does Ezri..the ACCI has been updated as well
[6:40][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:All decks report green and ready for departure Captai
[6:41][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kobay] Darned right we are
[6:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Sensor systems all on line and perfectly calibrated sir. we even got an update to the passive high-resolution series.
[6:42][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Uh Thank you Lyssa." *He turns his head towards Marcus and nods then looks back at Lyssa a bit confused.* "I should get to work, but thank you." *He glances down at the PADD as he turns back.
[6:42][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Hunkler] Tactical systems good to go si
[6:42][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Understood. Ensign Zhal, I'm sending you a set of coordinates." *he tapped on his PADD.* "Find me a good stealth approach away from the major routes.
[6:42][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"We are so ready to spy.
[6:42][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-Lyssa nods to AMrcus as she departs for her duty station- Captai
[6:42][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded back to the snek.
[6:42][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Aye Commander, stand by." *He inputs the coordinates and begins to run the numbers.
[6:43][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"As I'm sure you've all been made aware by now, the Tanausan Imperium has begun an invasion against Beryxia.
[6:44][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods once to that
[6:44][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Smirks at the PADD Lyssa had handed him and sets it in a slot under his console, and continues to run the numbers for a stealth flight course.
[6:45][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Course laid in Commander.
[6:45][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Our fellow Starfleet officers aboard the U.S.S. Pilgrim have managed to take an Imperium Stalker from them, and as of now are in the Beryxia system as--- figuring out what the situation on the..
[6:45][DOIC5]V'Tira@Isis:[Jaeger] -hashalf his team reinforece the security patrols and keeps the others as a QRF in the barracks
[6:46][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:surface is. We're going to be their backup in case this gets out of hand. If all goes well, no one will ever have to know we were even here.
[6:46][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kobay] Looks like we are about to light this candle si
[6:47][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"This is going to be a big one.
[6:47][DOIC6]V'Tira@Isis:[Ruby] -chitters in the containment field as if it can sense the excitment about the ship
[6:47][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Take us to stealth and then engage, Ensign.
[6:48][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kara] -nodnods- Wow...its like they didnt learn the last time they tried thi
[6:48][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Aye sir, engaging silent running, and engaging to warp seven sir." *He taps the commands into his console and then looks at the viewport.
[6:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He sat down in the chair.* "Full ENCOM once we enter the system, V'Tira. We say nothing to the Pilgrim's crew unless we absolutely have to.
[6:49][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-the Manta powers up her engines and smoothly leaps to warp as if she were a lame thorough bred horse now fully healed who is takingher first gallop
[6:49][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods once- Aye sir..full ENCOM upon entering the system
[6:49][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Smiles at his console.* "Atta Girl.
[6:50][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Tegan, be ready to run sensor sweeps when we arrive. Our lack of intel on what's going on is out biggest obstacle, we're gonna remove as much of it as we can.
[6:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"This will give me a chance to try out the new passive sensor suite, if we get in close enough i should get some good intel.
[6:50][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-as they rech warp 7 the manta ripples and shimmers as she vanishes from sight bathed now in her cloaking field
[6:50][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Our orders are to stick to the Oort cloud, but we'll see what we can manage.
[6:51][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We'll pull this off.
[6:51][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Even at that range we should be able to pull in some good data sit, it might take a little longer I will have to set a longer exposure time.
[6:51][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Helm, I'm also sending you our fallback coordinates. If we're detected, we aren't going to stick around to try anything stupid and heroic, we leave immediately.
[6:51][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Sir? final message from Captain Ramius. 'Good Luck son..dont get dead
[6:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--nods to V'Tira-- "That is good advice.
[6:52][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Aye sir, I have the fall back coordinates.
[6:52][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods to WEzri- Yes I do not disagre
[6:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He chuckled.* "Thank him for the suggestion and send it back in kind.
[6:53][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods- Aye sir -does so in kind
[6:53][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Furrows his brow at the fall back location but nods to himself.
[6:55][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kobay] Warp is purring like a kitten sir! -all smiles
[6:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine looked over the PADD some more, rubbing his jaw.
[6:55][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Hmm..." *Slides the fall back position to the left side pannel hoping he wont need it.
[6:56][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"The oort cloud in the Beryxian system is pretty famous. its very dense and has produced a lot beautiful comets...they even have regular comet sighting tours form the planet..or at leset they used to
[7:03][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-as we fade back in from the commercial time has passed and we rejoin the Manta as it begins its final approach to the Brexyian system...at this distanceit looks heavanly and peaceful
[7:03][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-the Star glowing through the eternal night like a beacon..welcoming them
[7:04][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He frowned.* "Damn shame we never got assigned a mission here before now. Probably not going to get the tour.
[7:04][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Makes minor adjustments to the heading.* "Estimated time to arrival, five minutes.
[7:04][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Hunkler] Security has reported all decks locked down..all high security areas secure

[7:05][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-blinks a moment- Curiou
[7:05][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Beginning passive high resolutions scans.
[7:05][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Good." *He looked at V'Tira.* "What is it?
[7:06][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Everything still green... eyes open, people, this is it.
[7:06][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I am picking up...multiple Apostate signals...and fragments of a speech by the current Ruling Prince..it is disjointed
[7:07][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, anything intelligible you can make out from it? And what kind of Apostates? We knew the Imperium was there.
[7:07][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Continues to monitor his console.* "Preparing to bring us out of warp.
[7:07][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-quirks a brow- ...the Prince..is telling his people to cooperate with the newly arrived... peace keepers..it is ahrd to make out
[7:07][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ah, of course. Prince wanted an early promotion. Little shit.
[7:07][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*His brow furrowed.* "Peacekeepers?
[7:07][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she entered the bridge
[7:08][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods- ...a bit of something about an Alliance...betraya
[7:09][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-acctually blinks and runs the signal back again to try and siftmore through
[7:09][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...The Alliance fucking loves the Beryxians, they're like our favourite people on the Citadel.
[7:09][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i am picking up dozens of plasma fires in systems, from starship hulls on fire. Looks like there has already been a battle in system.
[7:09][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Yeah, this could be a big morale hit.
[7:09][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:It does not make sense...I am trying to clean it u
[7:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Bringing us out of warp in three, two, one." *Zhal brings the Manta out of Warp attempt to draw it in as close to the Oort Cloud without compromising the intergrity of the cloak.
[7:09][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Can you narrow down the kind of weapons used? Who they were shooting at?
[7:10][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:The Manta drops from warp and slips within the ice and rock filled debris cloud
[7:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I should be able to sire once I collect enough data.
[7:11][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:The speech seems to have been made..during an attack already in progress.
[7:11][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He smirked slightly.* "I wasn't given that kind of promotion, but appreciate the anthusiasm, Tegan.
[7:11][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"What?" --she turns to Marcus-- "Sir, the wrecks are Chantry. It looks like the Imperium and Chantry forces were fighting each other.
[7:11][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*enthusiasm )
[7:12][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He tilted his head slightly.* "But... the Imperium and the Chantry work together. Why would they be fighting over Beryxia?
[7:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:This coinicides with the message sir...i believe the Imperium have entered the system as peace keeper
[7:12][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i don't know sir.
[7:12][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Could it be staged?
[7:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:They...used..the Chantry's own invasion to cement a foothold of their own
[7:12][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Maybe.
[7:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Possibly ensign..
[7:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-doesnt sound convinced entirely
[7:13][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I mean false flag to gain an ally?
[7:13][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Not that like thats ever been a viable strategy before....
[7:13][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:If..they convicned the Brexyian the Alliance has forgone them..
[7:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Though not to be unkind to the beryxians but what they bring to the tabel is art and cutlure.
[7:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:and then drive off Chantry invaders.
[7:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"not military strength.
[7:14][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He glanced at T'Lena then V'tira.* "They just might become desperate enough to believe them.
[7:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed..and the doctor is correc
[7:14][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's true. But what they do have is a damned good location, and resources.
[7:14][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:This if true..was a master stroke of tactics and strategy...Wen is most formidabl
[7:14][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..wow. as plans go that is actually a pretty good one.
[7:15][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed Ezri...I recommend Ensign Zhal find us a good hiding spot sir..quickl
[7:15][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"And with a member of Beryxian royalty to add legitimacy..." *He nodded to Zhal then.* "You heard her. Find us a good clump of ice and rock out here to sneak behind.
[7:16][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"I'm wondering if I can find a place close enough to get us a scan of those chantry ships..." *He analyzes the navigational sensors looking for an optimal loctaion.* "Stand by.
[7:16][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I have a voice match...itis the Prince sir..Prince Ry
[7:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Ryle? Odd for him to turn heel.
[7:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Guy who never takes off his sunglasses?
[7:17][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed -to Both the doctor and MAcus
[7:17][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:He does not seem the typ
[7:17][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:a duplicate perhaps or...-lets that trail off
[7:17][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"No, he doesn't." *He scratched his beard.
[7:18][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"But people do some desperate things when their people are dying.
[7:18][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Sir...the chantry signals I detected...are echos...all seem to line up with Ezri's fireball
[7:20][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"...Holos?
[7:20][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Echoes?" *He blinked.* "Well goddamn.
[7:20][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Sneaky Imperial bastards.
[7:20][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Indeed..
[7:20][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Get it all on record, we'll need this to show the Beryxian people when this is over.
[7:20][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kara] they shot their own allies inthe back
[7:21][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kelvor] ..by the god
[7:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...And maybe the Chantry." *He hid a smirk.
[7:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods once- Aye si
[7:21][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Did you expect any less of them?
[7:21][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*He starts to tap a series of commands into his console.* "Taking us in." *He aims the Manta towards the Charon sized planetoid angling the ship towards the planetoid's magnetic field.
[7:21][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:sir
[7:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"eye sir.
[7:21][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:Zhal glides the Manta right into position behind the dark frozen little world
[7:22][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Still receiving multiple active encoded signals...this has tobe a large fleet of Imperiium ship
[7:23][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*He smirks at the controls.* "Weird.
[7:23][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"They learned from Kirtas about underestimating us," *he frowned.* "What is it, Ensign?
[7:23][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Interesting to note...I am not pickingup any Coln Confederation signals eithe
[7:23][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"I think I got used to the way I flew in the last mission.
[7:24][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kel] No...not really..but wow..how will the Chantry handle this then
[7:24][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Maybe the Imperium isn't as thrilled about working with their classmates as they were when this all began.
[7:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri's sensor suite opens up its eager eye and focuses on the space in the Berxyia system.-
[7:24][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Hunkler] well it is not like the Chantry are themost stable to begin wit
[7:25][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:It may even havebeen..hit them before they eventually hit us mentalit
[7:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, I don't think the Tanausans do gravitic shearing... they're more of the 'kill or enslave' type.
[7:26][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Probably not too friendly. I don't imagine war, but a withdrawal of military support.
[7:26][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded to V'Tira.* "The Apostates aren't like the Alliance. Their commonality is their worship of the Dark, but their ultimate goals are for themselves.
[7:26][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"They already lost a lot of assets.
[7:26][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kara] they probably dont even know what has happened ye
[7:26][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, they will find out. We'll make sure of it.
[7:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-nods- Indee

[7:27][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kelvor] The imperium has to know this...thishas tobe a really big play the
[7:28][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Still I keep expecting the shit to hit the fan eventually.
[7:28][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I imagine...
[7:28][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kobay] ....so where did we put this still again
[7:28][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:the
[7:30][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Far away from anything explosive. I walled out a little section of coolant control. Also have emergency fields to pop in case the still goes bad.
[7:30][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"When you serve on a starship, always expect the shit to hit the fan eventually. I learned that after the third ship I was serving on blew up.
[7:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it will be hard to get exact numbers at this range sir. But so far I see on command carrier and several Prowler class ship. They probably have a bunch of smaller ships too that I can't detect at ..
[7:31][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Blaine endorsed reinstalling it after Zhaixe's reign... unofficially.
[7:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:this range, like fighters and stuff.
[7:32][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:We should expect long range fighter sweeps out this fa
[7:32][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kobay] Good...we may need it after all thi
[7:33][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded.* "Well, get what we can here in the cloud.
[7:33][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..with a long enough exposure time I can get a more accurate count as ships move around the system.
[7:33][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We're not going anywhere for now, so expose away.
[7:33][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We definitely will.
[7:33][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"aye aye sir...working on it.
[7:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-a deep male voice- You are pretty safe from fighters for themoment..they are just settling in at the moment
[7:35][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He blinked and looked for the source of the voice.
[7:35][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--turns and look toward the sound of the voice.-
[7:35][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:-no one save for the bridge crew
[7:36][DOIC4]V'Tira@Isis:[Kara] Um..
[7:36][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"The fuck?

[7:36][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Looks around.* "Okay, so I am not the only one that heard that this time
[7:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*She scanned with her tricorder
[7:36][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He paused, then checked his PADD.
[7:37][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah I am pretending I didn't hear the ghost.
[7:38][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:[Hunkler] -to Zhal- ..that time
[7:38][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He put it down and rubbed his forehead.
[7:38][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Last voice I heard was a previous host. Pag of laughs.
[7:38][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:Bag*

[7:39][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Please don't be a Q... alright. Come on in.

[8:11][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He gave a slight roll of his eyes as he walked ahead of them.
[8:11][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Here? No. They're going to eat.
[8:11][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Does this surpirse you
[8:12][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I haven't known many actual travynei.
[8:12][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Clearly we need to research how to improve the cloak." *He narrows his eyes back at his console and places his hands on it and tries to get them to stop trembling.* "Because that is some bullshit.
[8:12][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:The Travynei tech..is far more advanced..but..we should have remained hidden..there is something else goingon here with Nick i believ
[8:12][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"And no males.
[8:12][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He stepped into the lift, turning to wait for them.
[8:12][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she joined him into the lift
[8:13][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..yeah, he seems to be more than he appears.

[8:13][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Dining with ambassadors is above my pay grade.
[8:13][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -smiles- ten that is the ambassador's loss and my gai
[8:14][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He called out the deck for the mess hall.
[8:14][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Persistent aren't we.
[8:14][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-Lyssa and Osborne ride quietly
[8:15][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -chuckles- the squeaky wheel does oftne get the greas
[8:15][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I think he just can't turn it off," *he told T'Lena.
[8:15][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Being polite Marcus...no itis how iwas raise
[8:16][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Be glad I'm not acting how I was raised, then," *he smirked slightly and walked out when the doors opened.
[8:16][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"The whole black smoke nonsense was unnecessary.
[8:16][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] from the streets as theysay then
[8:16][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Oh
[8:16][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Remember they are telepathic.
[8:17][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she smirked while thinking of something
[8:17][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -chuckles- Lucky guess...that would be rude to scan without being offered or given consen
[8:17][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I didn't forget." *He looked at Nick then.* "Streets imply they were paved.
[8:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"The Travynei have this whole goth thing going on. its their culture, try to be more accepting.
[8:17][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He headed to the mess hall.
[8:17][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] ..as for that offer..all ican say is..ouch Doctor -smiles to her
[8:18][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Not as easy as you make it seem." *He sighs.* "Like something from a nightmare.
[8:18][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] I am sorry you had a rough upbringing Marcus...but tha tis all behind you know is it not
[8:18][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:I too must admit..it is unsettlin
[8:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it could be worse, they could be clowns.
[8:19][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she headed toward the mess
[8:19][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*That seemed to strike a nerve.* "Don't apologise." *He walked inside.
[8:19][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Fair.

[8:20][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"We only really have replicated things
[8:20][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Oh that will be fine..I did arrive unannounced..I am grateful for what you offer m
[8:21][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Don't suppose you're a wings guy." *he headed to the replicators.
[8:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--checks with the internal sesnors to see where Nick is and what he is doing.-
[8:21][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -chuckles- No..i was born for ground...oh..a meal of wings.I do not know..do you reccomend them
[8:22][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Hell yeah. I have a feeling Travynei are into spicy food, that's the impression I get anyway." *he replicated a few baskets of hot wings.
[8:22][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Spicy by human standards or Romulan.
[8:23][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*flashed a smile
[8:23][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -nods- then wings it shall be! Oh I meant to ask. -smiles to the doctor and then goes on- Might i speak with your chief engineer
[8:23][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He smirked at T'Lena.* "Fair point. Got some Romulan hot sauce we could offer in case this isn't enough?
[8:24][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Who, Ristovski? Only if you tell him you've come to drag him to hell, I think he's from one of those mountain tribes that are still superstitious.
[8:24][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -chuckles- Very wel then..just know it will be in good nature of coruse..but as you wis
[8:25][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Sure." *He brought the wings over to a table.* =/\= "Ristovski, report to the mess hall.
[8:25][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -followed Marcus over to the table
[8:25][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"uh oh..we have a wing of Imperium fighters entering the oort cloud.
[8:26][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:How close to us
[8:26][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Oh come on... distance?
[8:26][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:=^= "On my way.
[8:26][DOIC4]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He cracked open a locker and got something as he moved.
[8:26][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"they are a ways out and not quite in sensor range yet but closing on our position.
[8:27][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:=^= V'Tira to the Captai
[8:27][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Ah, hell." =/\= "Speaking.
[8:27][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Walks into the mess hall, holding a bottle of his kzari winterplum booze as a gift to the newcomer.
[8:27][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:=^= We have a flight of Imperium fighters on approach..not quite yet in sensor rang
[8:28][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:=/\= "Have Ensign Zhal adjust our position away from their route, let's play it safe.

[8:28][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:=^= Aye sir...-tryint to ignore the sound of Bores damanation asit comes ofver the com
[8:29][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:Ensign..adjust as needd to avoid their sensor
[8:29][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You've gotta be shittin' me. You know I've seen travynei before, right?
[8:29][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He shrugged.* "Can't blame me for trying, Ristovski. Want some wings?
[8:29][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -chuckles and points at Marcus- Hemade me do it for wings bug guy..Iam sorry..do join u
[8:30][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Makes the adjustment and fires the thrusters to push the Manta out of their path and sensor arc.* "Aye.

[8:30][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:Big
[8:31][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-As Ezri tracks them..Zhal eases the Manta into postion to keep the ship from being spotted leavingno tell tale signs of their presence
[8:31][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Laughs.* "Very well." *He puts the bottle on the table.* "Seeing as we had a guest, it was only right I bust out some of my personal reserve.
[8:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Continues to monitor the fighters for any indication they may be spotted.-
[8:31][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Officer thinking," *he nodded and went to get glasses.
[8:31][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -eyes thebottle- Kzari vintage yes? a good year as well..thank you..Bore is it
[8:32][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"No, not a kzari vintage. Has kzari winterplums, though. I brew these myself. And yes, name's Bore.
[8:32][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-the fighters are almost upon them.clearly scanning away with ruthless efficiency..to no avail..so far
[8:32][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He returned and set up the glasses.* "Please, have a seat, Nick. So, how about those Tanausans?
[8:32][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -eyes get wider pleased- Ahhh..hootch then
[8:33][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -chuckles- to buisness already marcus
[8:33][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Nice to meet you Bore.Iam ..Nic
[8:33][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Nick.* "My pleasure. And yes, hooch.
[8:33][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Not necessarily, we can just riff on them for a bit first. What's with their stupid names, anyway? Who decided they only use three letters?
[8:34][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Please do the honors thenmy good mana nd pour us someof your exli
[8:34][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -smiles- Ruthless..precise and efficient..yet such aa bore..no offense Bor
[8:35][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] They do serve her well...but..as one can see..they have overstepped some here
[8:35][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He eyed Nick with that.* "So this war of theirs wasn't sanctioned?
[8:35][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Watches his navigational sensors.* "Ezri, can you display their pojected path to my console?
[8:35][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Can i ask something
[8:35][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -eyes marcus- have you seen any Travynei fleets about lately
[8:36][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] You may ask of me anythingmilad
[8:36][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded.
[8:36][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Smirks at Nick and pours for the four.
[8:36][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Why exactly aren't you all moving in, at this point you got us out numbered.
[8:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I can plot their current trajectory. That assumes they don't change course.
[8:36][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He had only set out three glasses.
[8:36][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Have you ever owned a pet Doctor
[8:37][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Pours for everyone save Blaine then, scoffing back a chuckle at Nick's question.
[8:37][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena lets blaine have her glass because she's the alocholic
[8:37][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I have.
[8:37][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods* "That will work I just want to watch and ensure they dont double back.
[8:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..You should have the current data on your console now." --she says to Zhal.-
[8:38][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] If your pet ..spoils on the carpet of a living room..against your training...do rush inand further the act yourself? -smiles
[8:38][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He picked up the glass that he had definitely set in front of his own plate.* "You're waiting for the opportunity to stick their nose in it.
[8:38][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Especially if you are entertaining guests
[8:38][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"No you don't but usually the piss doesn't shoot back on the pet.
[8:38][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Thank you." *He watches the fighter flight path like a hawk.
[8:39][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -to Marcus- Let us just say...there are rules in a set order Marcu
[8:39][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"that little push with the ocean, caused more of a cosmic stale amongst the elders than we thought didn't it.
[8:39][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Rules that the Imperium assumed didn't apply to them after two million years as the Dark's supposed chosen race, at least as far as they're concerned?
[8:39][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick[ -to the doctor- No..it does not..but if they run away off oon their own it is a tad hard to protect them yes
[8:40][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Or they tried to climb further up the totem pole than was allowed." *To Blaine.
[8:40][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"We will likily be bothered by fighter patrols on a regular basis. They have this system locked down pretty tight.
[8:40][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"You both saw pyhrric victory at best, so its time for the b team to fight it out while you all rebuild.
[8:40][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -to Marcus- let us say..egos are inplay yes.. -to the doctor- once has broken..is it not time to see how it rises doctor
[8:41][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] take your Kzari as an example perhaps..each time they were blown back to a stone age..they always rose..far stronger for i
[8:41][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods and continues to watch the flight path.* "Yeah, but I am wondering if our visitor maybe drawing them here. That little display coming on board probably had some energy mixed in that wasnt maske
[8:41][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:by out cloak.
[8:41][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-oneof the figtherts breaks off with hi wingman heading towards the planetoid
[8:42][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"It makes sense. The Azreyane are still out there somewhere with their mutually assured destruction pact with the Avynei. Your own species has plenty of destractor factions.
[8:42][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"So your what oberserver, see if they go to far, or give away to much in their failure
[8:42][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Shit.. two bogies, headed back along the path." *He taps into his console.* "Adjusting vector.
[8:42][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...That's one way to check the Imperium's ego." *he murmured.* "They sat around just fighting little rebellions without---" *He just went quiet and ate a wing.
[8:42][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Perhaps...the Azreyane do also have their failings as well..as much as the Avynei are..niave at time
[8:42][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she ate a wing
[8:43][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"the Azreyane are a people without hope... and have been for a long time.
[8:43][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-Nick picked up a wing an siffedit before putting in his mouth and crunchingit to nothing and swallows
[8:43][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] That is one way to look at them I suppos
[8:44][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"It is a mirror.
[8:44][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Us races that have lost who we were can usually see it in others.
[8:44][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Theuniverse cannot have an up without a down docto
[8:45][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"The difference is how long we live usually drives how long it takes us to get over it and for generations to forget and adopt a new normal. For the Azreyane well.. they are eternal which means
[8:45][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:they will never forget. How long does your species live again
[8:45][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Fuck... They see us. Stand by.
[8:45][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] -smiles as he downs another wing- We live for a very long tim
[8:46][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Weren't avynei and travynei basically immortal, at least in terms of aging?
[8:46][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:-Nick looks ou tthe window a moment
[8:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--monitors the fighters, to see if they are locking on with weapons-
[8:46][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Youare..expose
[8:46][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Might as well be immortal from where any of us sit," *he shrugged.
[8:46][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"..What?" *he checked his uniform.
[8:46][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Marcus..they will see your shi
[8:46][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Taps a series of commands into his console.* "Going to see if I can get them to think its a sensor displacement. Recommend we go to red alert.
[8:46][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Oh, fuck me." *he was up and out of the mess hall in an instant.
[8:46][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"They must have detected through the cloak
[8:47][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ah, shit. I should probably run to engineering." *He downs his glass.
[8:47][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she remained
[8:47][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nice meeting you." *He nods to Nick and runs over to engineering.
[8:47][DOIC1]V'Tira@Isis:=^= All hands...red alert..all decks silent alet status

[8:48][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] That is whyi got lonel
[8:48][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I guess that makes sense.
[8:49][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Do you travel by teleporting? Or do you need to kinda just... float in space?
[8:49][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"All he needs is a crossroads.
[8:49][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"There's no crossroads in space, there's no roads.
[8:49][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] Very good docto
[8:49][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"There are in subspace.

[8:50][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Nexus points where layers cross.
[8:50][DOIC2]V'Tira@Isis:[Nick] I believe the doctor has figured out iam no mere Travyne
[8:50][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He tapped his foot impatiently and then was out and headed toward the bridge as soon as the lift opened.
[8:50][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I figured that out the moment you came aboard. Some of your kind always seem to be a little ahead of the others.
[8:51][DOIC]V'Tira@Isis:-slowly very slowly as the figthers draw closer and closewr..Zhal beings to nudge his girlback into herhidey hole

[8:52][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Scouts usually report to a greater force.

[8:55][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Well, I'll say this, your looks were the tlaking point of engineering for a bit, so you do your job as an avatar of lust well.
