[9:06][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 98379.69 – The away team sent to the planet Ixyatha has reunited with the Pilgrim after discovering that the Beryxian colonisation team they were checking in on has been kille
[9:08][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:by and unknown indigenous life form. So it is with this tragic news we return again to Beryxia. With us we have the mysterious box we discovered in the underwater tunnels on LMC-2864-31
[9:10][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:We have the box secured inside a containment unit specially designed for potentially dangerous telepathic artifacts. We are taking no chances as we bring the box to the Beryxian scholars at the ..
[9:11][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Royal Beryxian University. It is out hope that they can help us to solve this mystery or at least get us a ood start at it. End Lo
[9:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Three Beryxians stepped forward, a man and a woman in typical Beryxian dress and Mister Ryle in his usual suit and sunglasses.
[9:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She glanced around at the people.* "I love it here already.
[9:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*stands beside t'pang
[9:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--places a hand on the containment unit glancing at the status display before moving forward to greet the Beryxians-
[9:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It is an insteresting world, and almost restored to the state we first saw it
[9:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Aquila-- "They have managed to repair the damage in an incredibly short time..
[9:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Man] "Good evening, Captain T'Pang. I am Professor Vyran, the head of the history department here at the University. It is my utmost pleasure to meet you all.
[9:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i guess that is to be expected on aplanet of artisans..
[9:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Remains near the containment unit, nodding respectfully to Vyran.
[9:14][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Yes Eren, I knew you would
[9:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to the Beryxian man-- "Greetings Professor Vyran, it is most agreeable to meet you.
[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*In the crowd they could see a few of the Beryxians in long black transparent veils that draped down to their waists.
[9:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"As stated in my communictions this is the artifact in question...or at least it is in this containment unit.
[9:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Indeed, we do thank you for taking such measures. After all that our world has been through, precautions must be taken.
[9:16][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Taking notice of the black veils, she looks to see if they are out of place or accepted by those around them, thinking they might be morners of Rhys.
[9:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The artifact has not caused any issues so far, but we felt and over abundance of caution would not hurt.
[9:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He spoke into a little device on his wrist.* "Package has landed, you are cleared to take it inside.
[9:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Several other well-dressed Beryxians in sunglasses came to collect the unit.
[9:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will turn it over to you for analysis. I am sure my science teams would be interested in ovserving your work with the artifact if they have your permission.
[9:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain lt sar should stay with them as well
[9:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Indeed, is it true that it is pure elder obsidian?" *he looked over eagerly.
[9:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Vyran.* "Impossible to crack open or scan unless with highly specialized equipment.
[9:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Ah, yes, of course you do. It would be heartless of us to take it off your hands and not allow you to partake in its full discovery.
[9:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"As far as we can tell, we have not been able to open it or scan the inside.
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"There prevalent theory so far is it was made like this to keep something from being taken out of it.
[9:19][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-side eyes TGhor at that- ..
[9:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Indeed, we believe so too. We were able to get a rudimentary translation from the runes that were sent to us ahead of time. If you would like, we could discuss them further inside.
[9:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Aquilla.-- "I am turning the artifact and its security over to Mister Ryle here and the Beryxian University personnel.
[9:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Ignores Valkriss
[9:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Beryxian] "I want your peach-coloured babies!" *One of the Beryxian women in the crowd screamed at the group.
[9:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Of course captain, imeant while our scientists were with them
[9:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "We should take this discussion inside.
[9:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He chuckled at the scream.
[9:20][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rubs his nose.
[9:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods at Aquila-- "If you think our people need a baby sitter.
[9:21][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila smirks* I would not put it that way, but never the less keep the recommendation
[9:21][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Peach colored?
[9:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think it's more to keep the adoring fans out, Captain.
[9:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Please, come this way." *He made a quick motion to his well-dressed underlings, who started escorting the box inside.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He followed after Ryle.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--followed Ryle-
[9:22][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li follows after.
[9:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The Beryxians lead them indoors as the crowd gave another cheer and round of applause.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looked at Ryle-- "There is of course that other matter we should discuss..
[9:23][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-as they entered to TGhor- Shocked I am..a locked box..meantto keep something in and people out...is this a new thing
[9:23][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"well, at least this time the captain and I are fully dressed." *she smiles at they go inside.
[9:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Indeed, Captain T'Pang, I am eager to resume our discussion when we are finished here.
[9:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, no. I meant it is meant to be kept in... permanently.
[9:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila gave the crowd a little wave before heading inside after them
[9:23][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles softly- Of cours
[9:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They stepped inside a beautiful hall, the light from the windows shimmering over them in the typical Beryxian style. They were lead up a flight of stairs and down a hallway.
[9:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "This wing has been cleared for as long as you need it to be." *He opened a door to a large classroom that had been mostly cleared out.
[9:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The underlings carried the box inside and sat it down in the middle of the room.
[9:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He loosk to the proffessor.* "Just out of curiosity, proffessor, what's your specializations?
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Ancient history. My counterpart, Professor Anaxia, is an expert on ancient literature and linguistics.
[9:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] *She gave a little nod of her head.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods to professor Anaxia.* "I would very much enjoy to be further introduced to your works after this, then.
[9:28][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-whispers to T'Pang
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--entered and stood off to the side observing-- "...You said something about a preliminary translation of the runes?
[9:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Well, isn't this going to be fun." *She grinned, leaning against the wall and crossing her arms.
[9:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--cants her head toward Valkriss.-
[9:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "Indeed, Captain T'Pang. From the scans that were sent to us, I've been able to complete a rough translation.
[9:29][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'm sure they have everything under control." *Dali looks to move away from the thing that has given her the willies since seeing it the first time.
[9:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--gives Valkriss a look-
[9:29][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-gives her a 'isnt it?' look
[9:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..I suppose so Valkriss...
[9:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] *She walked over to the holoboard at the front of the classroom and touched a few buttons. The scans of the runes appeared with modern Beryxian writing beneath them.
[9:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he quietly absorbed
[9:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "It reads as follows. 'Upon the breaking of our chains did those who loved their subjugation seek to destroy.'
[9:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "'To stars we took, wishing not to spill the blood of misguided kinsmen and find a world of peace and beauty.'
[9:32][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali looks interested
[9:32][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:..slave or prisoner revolt
[9:32][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--raises and eyebrow-
[9:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "'Treachery found home in the young prince, poisoned by the blind devotion of his father. The infection threatened to bring ruin to us all.'
[9:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And there's the blight...
[9:32][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to TGhor
[9:33][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I wonder if the chains were metaphrical. Or actual
[9:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "'I beg your forgiveness, for I have sinned many times, but I still have not the strength of will to slay my child.'
[9:33][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-winces at that
[9:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "'May there come a day that he can be cured, and if not, may he be undisturbed until the time that the universe unravels. I leave his fate in the hands of our blood.'
[9:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"This... kind of makes it sound like the Prince is inside.
[9:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "And that is the end of it.
[9:34][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Suspended animation capsule, and infection inside it seems as well T'Ghor.
[9:35][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Okay creepy...any match to something in your myths and or history
[9:35][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--contemplates the words.-- "It does rais concerns about what may be inside...and what considtion it is in..
[9:35][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Okay creepy...any match to something in your myths and or history
[9:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Dahlia.
[9:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Wouldn't be the only people in this galaxy who did the whole 'suspended animation box' trick.
[9:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "First time I heard of it being used to contain a disease though.
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Such a situation exists in folklore though
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Pandora's box
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The THing
[9:36][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"i have to wonder, is it the original progenitor to the red blight? and if so, could it be used to understand and cure it.
[9:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I would not know, Doctor. It is certainly an earlier strain than what we know.
[9:37][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...wondeerful..and we wont know until we try to open i
[9:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it would not be the first time on record of a person with an incurable disease being placed in suspended animation until a cure could be found..
[9:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "There is nothing in our history that matches to this, no. Our records of the first Beryxians say nothing of any of them having children before arriving on this world.
[9:37][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:unless the children were put down prior to arriva
[9:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The people of that world had very short lives, it was almost a breeder colony
[9:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Pure experimentaiton in evolution it seemed from the information we could see
[9:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If one was to believ eit a guided experiment of a higher species
[9:38][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Knowing this galaxy, I would put latinum on it.
[9:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"translation of teh runes it wold seem has only deepened the mystery..
[9:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Could have been the Chantry, easily... before the Beryxians split off.
[9:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "It often does, Captain T'Pang.
[9:39][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I would put very little past them -nods to Eren
[9:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can't help but wonder if they had the means for something that advanced that far back.
[9:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:From teh descritpions and words we also had belief the planet might have been the origin of the choson form. We've had to fight
[9:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:**words of the Intelligence*
[9:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "It poses an interesting theory, indeed... perhaps if we could examine the box itself?
[9:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He nodded.* "Activate the fields and you may open the containment unit.
[9:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The box is peculiar, Professor. It almost seems to be a singular... slab. No opening mechanism, no lock... Just a slab of Elder Obsidian.
[9:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was a bit of button-pushing on the holoboard, and a field encircled the containment unit.
[9:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Ryle-- "The box itself seems fairly inert, but I don't recommend becoming too cmplacent.
[9:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ready to open on your go..." *He heads to the containment unit's controls.
[9:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "After the last outbreak of the Red Blight, I have no intention of it." *he nodded to T'Ghor.* "Do it.
[9:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods and sets the containment unit to unlock and open.
[9:43][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Captain... I have a worry about this. I suddenly am reminded of the first day I had on the ship.
[9:44][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles at the doctors caution recalling such events as well
[9:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's not a day on the pilgrim if we don't open something that kills us all, Doctor.
[9:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The unit opened up, showing the black slab was now covered in blazing blue, each of the runes lit up and nearly dancing before their eyes.
[9:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at the Doctor.-- "You concern is noted Doctor.
[9:45][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...okay..Ill say it...wo
[9:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It wasn't doing that before
[9:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He raised a brow slightly.* "You didn't say that it sang, too.
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It definitely wasn't... Could it have to do with feeling Beryxian DNA?
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at the box with some concern-- "that is different...Can we get a scan of this?
[9:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "...I don't hear any song, Mister Ryle.
[9:45][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:It sings
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Mr. Ryle? Are you telepathic in any way?
[9:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Not to my knowledge.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks around for a tricorder.-
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He tries to get a scan.
[9:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She handed T'Pang hers.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If it's not telepathy, you may be related to the ancient royal bloodline then, Mr. Ryle.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--opens the tricorder and makes some adjustments before scanning.-
[9:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He didn't respond, eyeing the box.
[9:47][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dalia shudders slightly, but tries to reassure herself by opening her scanner and monitoring the data as it records.
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is clearly reacting to something in its new environement.
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I am thinking it may be Mr. Ryle. He is the only one hearing the song.
[9:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Those scanning the box would get faint electric signals from it, but most was obscured by the veracysium's properties.
[9:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that seems a reasonable hypothesis Mister T'Ghor.
[9:48][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"your supposition that there may be a dna trigger, is a valid one T'Ghor.
[9:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, it certainly did not send off electrical impulses before.
[9:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "It is... not particularly well known, but yes, I am the Queen's nephew," *he said after a time.
[9:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Something I would ask you all to keep to yourselves.
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods to Mr. Ryle.* "Of course. We will respect your privacy.
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"However, I think you may just be our key here.
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Perhaps for now you may want to maintain a safe distance from the box Mister Ryle..
[9:49][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*a simple nod, and making notes in the tricorder log
[9:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mm... in fact, leave the room for a sec, would you?
[9:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He stared at Eren.
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Eren at that.-
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She means to check my theory, Mr. Ryle.
[9:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "...Come on, we'll be fine, your goons are here.
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"just to see how the box reacts or if it even does..
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.* "Yes, consider it an experiment.
[9:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Understood." *he turned and strode out the door, closing it behind him.
[9:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The runes slowly faded back into a plain black slab.
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--As Ryle leaves she turns to look at the box, continuing her scans.-
[9:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that would seem to confirm that notion that it is reaction to Mister Ryle in some manner..
[9:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He scans for the electric impulse too.
[9:51][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"And I thought this was either going to be very boring, or end in screaming terror and death.
[9:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "...Very interesting. Could that be what the last line meant?
[9:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:A dna lock
[9:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"His fate in the hands of our blood, Professor?
[9:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, I think that is what it may be.
[9:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "'I leave his fate in the hands of our blood.' The inscriber must have meant the royal bloodline.
[9:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods to Anaxia.
[9:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"likily, it could very well have some sort of biometric locking mechanism..
[9:53][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Now the question truly is, open or not.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think we all want to open it. But that would be terribly unwise to do right in the middle of the university.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am of the opinion that there is too much risk associated with opening it.
[9:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Yeah... I'm going to go with not. We don't know if they meant the kid was full of Red Blight or something even worse.
[9:54][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I disagree on the first part, but agree on the second T'Ghor.
[9:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was a knock at the door.
[9:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Whatever it is, it would have to be quarantined out the ass.
[9:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:---goes to open the door.-
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "...Do you still want me out here?" *He asked as the door opened.
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The box started glowing again.
[9:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps we can do both
[9:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He points to the box.* "There we have it...
[9:55][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"i suggest restoring the quarantine conditions.
[9:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...I am not sure, the box is definitely reacting t you prescence. I am uncertain if it is wise having you and the box in the same room together.
[9:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Does the glow change the meaning of any of the runes
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He adjusted his sunglasses slightly.* "Understood. I will be out in the hallway if I am needed.
[9:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--hands ERen her tricorder back.-- "I will be out in the hall with Mister Ryle.
[9:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Have fun, Captain." *She took the tricorder.*
[9:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--raises and eyebrow at Eren as she exits.-
[9:58][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--goes and stands next to Ryle-
[9:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Our captain doesn't have fun, Eren, she is vulcan.
[9:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He glanced at her.* "I was pleased to hear you had returned safely.
[9:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I am curious. Is it reacting to him or his lifesign, What if you were to project his lifesign with a tricorder
[9:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "It shouldn't be reacting to anything in that quarantine field, but it's worth a try.
[10:00][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "...The Pilgrim has knack for that sort of thing. Getting lost in space is becoming a bad habit..
[10:00][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Has anyone scanned him already? DOctor?
[10:01][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Yes, I have his scan here.
[10:01][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..My condolences on the loss of life at your Ixyatha colony.
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Can you project or do you want me to?
[10:01][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*she links* "This is more your field, I won't steal your thunder. But be careful.
[10:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "It is the risk that we take in attempting to colonise other worlds, much like the risk you take getting lost in space.
[10:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right. I'll do it from further away for now.
[10:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He steps to the end of the room and starts setting up the tricorder to the scans Dahlia gave him, then attempts to project a lifesign.
[10:02][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Is there an observation room for this one? I am thinking an extra layer of distance could not hurt.
[10:02][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "The Federation has suffered more than its fair share of such loses.
[10:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He pauses before he does it as Dahlia asks.
[10:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It looks like a normal classroom, Doctor?
[10:03][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Space exploration carries with it a great deal of risk.
[10:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "This is the history department, not the sciences... but we may be able to have Mister Ryle clear out another wing if we ask politely.
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I don't want to interfere with the normal operations of the university too much... but if the captain decides it is wise.
[10:05][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Perhaps you might like to join me for a meal later, perhaps to celebrate the Pilgrims safe return?
[10:05][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "So we are coming to learn. We did very little of it until recently, the mythology of our past keeping us appropriately wary in that aspect.
[10:05][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *There was a slight twitch of a smile.* "I would be honoured, Captain.
[10:05][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He shrugs and steps out of the room.
[10:05][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*The door pulls open.* "Hey, Captain?
[10:06][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "We can discuss space exploration at length..
[10:06][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns and looks at T'Ghor.-- "Yes Lieutenant?
[10:06][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We're gonna experiment by projecting Mr. Ryle's lifesign in a room with the box, see if it reacts to him or simply his lifesign. Doctor suggested going somewhere with an observation room for that, 
[10:07][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Part of my worry is the effect of touching the material that is made up of... it is not conducive to long life. I have to question if the person who opens the box does not have to come into physica
[10:07][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:contact with it to open it. And I question if they would survive it.
[10:07][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"But that means clearing out the science wing. So... you wanna project the lifesign in here or have the science wing cleared?
[10:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That is why i suggested the projection to see what matter of scanning the device is doing
[10:08][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"it was a good one. But if i'm wrong, and that projection can open the box, I am not wanting anyone near it when it opens.
[10:08][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Ryle-- "that would of course be entirely u to Mister Ryle..
[10:08][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Was that not the point of the quarantine field already?
[10:09][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He just kinda shrugs at him.* "It was. But if the doctor has worries, I thought it would be best to bring them up to the captain.
[10:09][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I think what they are looking for is a lab that has a seperate and shielded observation room..
[10:10][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I could have another wing cleared, but that would take at least an hour. I would suggest doing what you can with what you ahve been given.
[10:10][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to T'Ghor-
[10:11][DOIC2]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right." *He nods and walks back into the room.
[10:11][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She was drawing squiggled on the holo-board.
[10:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Doctor, they told us to work with what we got. So I suggest everyone step back.
[10:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She was drawing squiggled on the holo-board.
[10:11][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li takes a step back.
[10:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*stepped back
[10:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*over to orestes
[10:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She was already leaning against the back wall.
[10:12][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*stepping back not an issue, up against the wall* "I'll monitor the energy patterns, try to determine the reaction.
[10:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right, Doctor. On three." *He heads to the end of the room again and sets up his projection.
[10:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Bored orestes?
[10:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"One... Two... And a three." *He presses on the tricorder to start projecting.
[10:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "What gave it away?
[10:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The slab remained a slab.
[10:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Don't do to well on ground science do you
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No glowy runes.
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Doctor, you got what you need?
[10:14][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked at the squigly lines
[10:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Depends on the ground science.
[10:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he drew a star constellation
[10:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*that her squiglies intersected a little
[10:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:What if its not a containment device
[10:15][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Doesn't seem to notice it.
[10:16][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Try hooking up to the containment device, and projecting inside.
[10:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "What could it be, then?
[10:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right.
[10:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He steps towards the containment device and goes to hook up, then to project once more.
[10:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*It remained a very drab slab.
[10:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Guide post
[10:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:What if the runes were star coardinates from the original planets frame fo reference, the beryxian story mentioned taking to the stars
[10:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:What if it were coardiantes of where they went
[10:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I don't think it would actually react to Mr. Ryle if it was just a map.
[10:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Why wouldn't it
[10:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If you wanted to make sure only the sons of kahless could find something you might key it to his bloodline
[10:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, because everyone can read the runes when he's not around too, right?
[10:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If it was a map and tuned to someone's bloodline, I'd want only that person to be able to read it.
[10:19][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Nothing in the galaxy actually makes sense to me,
[10:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's at least how I See it.
[10:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Well lets try this
[10:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he went over to the light switch
[10:20][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns to Ryle-- "perhaps we should move the box off world?
[10:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "If it does contain some infection that they were trying to contain, I'd insist upon it.
[10:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he knoecked on the door.
[10:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He looked at the door.* "I believe they are asking for you.
[10:21][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*adding visual recording layer to her scanner band
[10:21][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:You actually
[10:21][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I see." *He walked over.* "How can I assist?
[10:21][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila turned the light off
[10:21][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Aquila and followed Ryle-
[10:21][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Let us see to what projects on the cieling abvoe the box
[10:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sure.
[10:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...We did find it in a cave..." *She rubbed her chin.
[10:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He keeps a PADD trained on the ceiling in case something appears and needs to be recorded.
[10:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--observes from inside the door.-
[10:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He stepped in. The box began to light up again, and in the darkness of the room they could see glittering lights on the ceiling.
[10:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well whaddaya know... Good catch.
[10:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Orestes? Can you match the shit on the ceiling to actual stars?
[10:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "We'd have to account for about two million years of stellar drift... Hey. Astronomer, here.
[10:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We need to mvoe the box and mr ryle to our holodeck
[10:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right, sorry, Eren..
[10:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She tapped away on her wrist PADD.* "Well, that'd be T'Pang's call.
[10:26][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain
[10:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can't believe they'd go through so much trouble and robotic sea monsters to hide a map.
[10:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:it depends on what it leads to
[10:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"If you feel that is necessary. The Beryxians would have to okay it.
[10:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I am willing to go if it is needed.
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods very well then lets make prparations to return the box to the ship.
[10:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Aw... do we have to go right now? I wanted to see the sights. Talia never took me to nice places like this." *She grinned.
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Eren-- "Consider the Box was found on LMC-2864-31. So this stellar map is no doubt centered there.
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Looks to Eren.* "You can see tits on the net too.
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well will make time for sight seeing later Liutenant.
[10:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Or you know. In the mirror.
[10:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Not the same and you know it... and understood, ma'am."
[10:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Would it not be most likely that the map would lead here, though?
[10:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is a real possibility Profesor.
[10:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Our people have a saying... when you assume you mak an ass out of you and me.
[10:31][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He shrugs at Vyran.* "Maybe... but maybe not.
[10:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "...What?
[10:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "...Probably doesn't translate well into Beryxian. Never mind.
[10:31][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We have to check it out first either way to make sure, professor.
[10:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I find it mor elikely that the map was left so that their descendents might find it if they refoudn their world
[10:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Well, let's not make the poor underclassmen miss any more of what I'm sure is a fascinating history class. Pack it on up.
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right. Kicking this thing back into containment.
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--motions to T'Ghor to get to doing the heavy lifting..-
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He goes to slap the slab back into the containment unit.
[10:34][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps we should also bring along Vyran and Anaxia. There expertise might be invaluable
[10:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*With a few button presses the containment unit folded back over the slab.
[10:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "We'd be honoured to board your ship.
[10:35][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"They are welcome to come with us, and i am sure they would be most interesting in seeing this.
[10:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Soon all was packed back up and Ryle's underlings were carrying the containment box out.
[10:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "After you, Captain.
[10:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns and follows the underlings out.-
[10:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Walks after T'Pang.
[10:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*follows
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Eren, Orestes, Vyran and Anaxia went with them. As they walked back outside, they would see that the building was still surrounded by their adoring fans, who gave another massive cheer upon seeing.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...Will we all fit in the shuttle we came down in?
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:them and tossed flowers at their feet.
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Probably not, but Orestes and I can beam up.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles and waves at the fans.
[10:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he smiled at them
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Takes a random flower and sticks it behind his ear.
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Eren. T'Pang mostly ignores the cheering crowd.-
[10:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A woman wearing a Klingon Kap pulled her top off and shook her bountiful bosoms at T'Ghor.
[10:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I didn't knwo you were planning on remarrying t'ghor
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I.." *He got cut off by massive mammaries, losing his train of thought, giving the beryxian lady a grin and a wink.
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang raises and eyebrow and looks at T'Ghor.-- "Don't encite the crowd Lieutenant.
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sorry, Captain...
[10:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] =/\= "Eren to Pilgrim, beam Orestes and I up, would you?" *She looked at T'Pang.* "We'll get the holodeck set up for your arrival.
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Eren-- "Thank you Lieutenant.
[10:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Enjoy the ride." *She winked and the science nerds vanished.
[10:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] *He shouted out the hatch,* "You coming or what?
[10:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--frowns a bit as she looks at the waiting shuttle.-
[10:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he waited for them to board the shuttle
[10:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Ryle's goons secured the box on the shuttle and walked back off, saluting Ryle crisply.
[10:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--waits for the box to be loaded and then fills the space around the cargo.-
[10:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He walked in after the box.
[10:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *he returned it and went to sit on the shuttle.
[10:47][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li heads off towards the shuttle.
[10:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He strapped himself in.
[10:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--checks to make sure the box is properly strapped in, not wanting it to shift in flight.-
[10:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The goons had done a very excellent job of securing it.
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--finally straps herself in.-
[10:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We are all in captain.
[10:51][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*STrapping in and set to ride back
[10:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Here we go!" *He fired up the shuttle and his music roared to life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyS61oeEt38 
[10:51][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li is strapped in, covering his ears.
[10:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The shuttle picked off and took to the skies.
[10:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Suprisingly reserved Teeth
[10:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Reserved but not bad.
[10:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "All I play is the good shit," *he replied as they passed the tall, delicate spires.
[10:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila nodde dhis head to the music* The harp reminds me of some Gaulish instruments
[10:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang put her ear plugs in.-
[10:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "...Interesting." *he said, adjusting his sunglasses.
[10:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And the vocals however, remind me of a rhinelander attempting to woo his woman
[10:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..yes very interesting..
[10:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he chuckled
[10:54][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dr Delancey does not appear to notice the music at all. Or the talking, just head back and eyes closed.
[10:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"How do Rhinelanders woo women?
[10:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "'Rhineland?'
[10:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Deg bis ein gute frauen... *he speaks the roma rhinelander dialec which sounds liek gutteral proto german
[10:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:My planet was populated by a transplant population from the human homeworld of Earth
[10:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We had several distinct populations among the slave and free peoples. Rhinelanders are those from an area of earth East of the rhine
[10:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Gauls are from south of them and north of the alps
[10:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "Ahh... ethnic groups, yes, I understand.
[10:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Most of Roma culture is now a hybrid of those three, with left over influences from assyrian, carthage greece and thrace
[10:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods to Mr. Ryle.
[10:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Oh and the jews
[10:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, I did not know Rhinelanders were capable of wooing. Their language always creeps me out.
[10:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They managed to stay relatively distinct in the merchant class for 2000 years
[10:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That was the joke my friend
[10:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He laughs.* "Of course it's the merchant class..
[10:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "I'd be very interested to learn more later. We only know so much of our Milky Way counterparts.
[10:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "A comparative history symposium would be fascinating, don't you think professor?
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oooh, that sounds awesome.
[11:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Vyran-- "indeed we still have no gotten a proper oppotuity to exchange knowledge with you and your people.
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "It would be." *She nodded in agreement.
[11:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:On roma we speak on average six languages
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "We have learned some things, as I'm sure you've picked up plenty from your time.
[11:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"perhaps we can make arrangements for such a gathering.
[11:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "Truly? Fascinating. There are about twelve distinct Beryxian languages and dialects, though most of them have been incorporated into Common Beryxian.
[11:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It does get more confusing, as alot of our langueas are evovled forms of langauges that died on earth due to the collapse fo the terran roman empire
[11:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am attempting to learn the language..I am finding it quite expressive.
[11:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"And yet we developed a form of english independed from the same building blocks.
[11:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Curious... I only speak the three languages.
[11:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] *She smiled at T'Pang.* "To us, as most things are, we consider language one of the great art forms.
[11:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You would love klingon poetry then, Proffessor.
[11:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Not many other languages give such a leeway for wordplays.
[11:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "I would love to be better acquainted with it.
[11:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"You have to, when you do not have a word for love. be clever with yrou metaphors.
[11:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Coming up on the ship now," *he called to the others.
[11:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] *She chuckled.* "We have over two hundred different words for different manners of love.
[11:05][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"My grandfather called love "The targ that ravages your hearts with the fury of a dying sun.
[11:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Maybe that's why he claled my grandmother an old targ.
[11:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The shuttle set down in the Pilgrim's docking hangar just as Teeth's music faded out.
[11:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps
[11:07][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*feeling the pads contact the deck, dali sate up and tapped her PADD on her wrist, then winced at the music.
[11:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--quickly unstrapped as if trying to excape the shuttle as quickly as possible.-
[11:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He sat up to help with moving the containment unit.
[11:07][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Oh thank you for turning it off.
[11:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He helped get the unit out.
[11:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Song was over." *he gave Dali a look.
[11:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Man, some people can't appreciate art.
[11:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That one had beauty in it
[11:08][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Unstrapping and preparing to disembark* "Then my timing was as good as yours.
[11:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to the doctor and then back to Teeth as she pulled her ear plugs out and put them away.-
[11:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he left the shuttle
[11:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] *He stepped out.* "Amazing!
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Professor I will make sure you get the complete tour while you are here.
[11:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Thank you, I would be honoured.
[11:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I am certain if the Captain allows it that I can give you access to our historical database too?
[11:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Aquila if you would escort the artifact to the holodeck..
[11:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Of course captain
[11:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded to sar and started mvoign the holosled
[11:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sar] *The big marble statue man helped push it.
[11:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to T'Ghor-- "I am sure that can be arranged.
[11:13][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*and moved it ito the holodeck
[11:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods to T'Pang.* "All things that do not require special clearance will be made available.
[11:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--follows along to the holodeck-
[11:13][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As he arrived on the holodeck, he would see Eren and Orestes had already set up a containment field.
[11:14][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "If you ask me, the 2355 version is always going to be the best--- oh, welcome back.
[11:14][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He walks into the holodeck soon thereafter.
[11:14][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li walks in.
[11:15][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Taking a seat, and setting up a monitoring station through the menu, Dali settles in to keep close eye for trouble from the box.
[11:16][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He stepped onto the holodeck, adjusting his coat slightly.
[11:16][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*step back to let geeks take it from here
[11:18][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Okay, set it right there in the middle... that's it..." *She activated a quarantine field around it.
[11:19][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I've been in contact with Eirene to get some more accurate star charts from that particular era, so if there is anything we should catch it.
[11:20][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Alright, if no one has anything else to add... let's do it." *She hit the button to take down the containment unit. The box appeared, still glowing.
[11:22][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren
[11:22][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He leaned on the holodeck wall and watched with interest.
[11:23][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Running the numbers... running..." *Her brow furrowed slightly.* "Well... that's interesting...
[11:23][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--watched from beside Ryle with keen interest.-
[11:23][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--raises and eyebrow.-
[11:24][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Care to share with the rest of us lieutenant?
[11:24][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Well, it's not pointing to Beryxia, I can tell you that. But some of these stars have been swallowed up by the Black Ocean a long time ago.
[11:25][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*listened a little more actively
[11:25][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is concerning..
[11:25][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Some... but not all? So th eworld we are looking for is somewhere in-between?
[11:26][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "it makes things a little more difficult, but it's not the end... if we adjust our position...
[11:27][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Hold on..." *She tapped at the screen for a moment and the ceiling shifted, altering the way the lights shone on it.
[11:28][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "...Well kiss my spots and spank me silly. This is their exodus route.
[11:28][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Not in front of the guests.
[11:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--blinks at Eren's colorful language.-
[11:29][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*chortles a bit
[11:29][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--blinks at Eren's colorful language.-
[11:29][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "It has to be, it's leading from Chantry space to LMC-whatever the number was that you found this thing at and then..." *Her eyes widened.
[11:29][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's a historical goldmine then.
[11:30][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:THey would have had ot have waystations, places they stopped
[11:30][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Aquila.* "Places they have left artifacts at, intentionally or not.
[11:30][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "LMC-2864-31.
[11:30][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And any one of those could hold keys to fighting the chantry or converting them from the dark
[11:31][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sounds like we've got a road trip on our hands.
[11:31][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Yeah... and there's one other thing. I think they split up at 2864. Look." *She pointed.* "One of these keeps going.
[11:31][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Do we have a specific, point of origin and end point for this exodus?
[11:31][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He follows Eren's finger.
[11:32][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"So... there may be a third off-shoot race?
[11:32][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps we find the answer to why there
[11:32][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "...Impossible. That would take them in a direction completely away from Beryxia.
[11:32][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods to Vyran.* "An undiscovered sister species to yours, Professor.
[11:32][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain that area. We won't be abel to traverse it with slipstream easily
[11:32][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "This would change a great deal of what we know.
[11:32][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Not to mention the Chantry and Tanausans are swarming there.
[11:33][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But
[11:33][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"At least there is a map.
[11:33][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:By all reports their density in that region is sparce as they are moving to bolster their boarders near kzari space
[11:34][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Given the end of that war. Atleast last reports were that way anyway
[11:34][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"such an expedition would be quite perilous.
[11:34][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... but we may discover much.
[11:34][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Was it not James kirk that said, Risk is our business captain
[11:34][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wasn't that a quote from the A-team?
[11:34][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "No risk, no reward. And we just may uncover another species that opposes the Dark.
[11:34][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I will send this information back to command, they would have to authorize such a mission.
[11:35][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Eren.
[11:35][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Question is, if the Chantry are the religious nuts, and the Beryxians are the artisans, who are these other guys?
[11:35][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "They may all be dead, too." *she shrugged.
[11:35][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps the warrior caste
[11:36][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Aquila.
[11:36][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"My thoughts exactly.
[11:36][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Even in death they jmight yeild knoweldge
[11:37][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--observes the map, rubbing her chin in deep thought.-
[11:37][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Looks like a race horse waiting for the gate to open, despite his best efforts to remain calm. His nostrils flare as he is excited.
[11:38][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This does seem like a Pilgrim sort of mission...
[11:38][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "My people would be very interested in getting to the bottom of this, too, T'Pang. We will put in our request.
[11:38][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Of course captain, as you recall activity in that area was nothing until recently. It is possible we are already late to the race
[11:38][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But with a guide they do not have
[11:39][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he gestured to the device
[11:39][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...I will run this up the chain of command and see what shakes out.
[11:39][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"We may need to bring a guest ma'am.
[11:40][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "Perhaps... this group that left, it may have something to do with the inscription still. 'May there come a day that he can be cured, and if not, may he be undisturbed.'
[11:40][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"May be where they took him, hm?
[11:40][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Splitting up because some of your group has an incurable disease... but maybe not one that will necessary kill them? A leper colony?
[11:41][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Unless this device is also a storage device. The question is if it was blight
[11:41][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"What I mean, we may need Mr Ryle, to unlock any other markers.
[11:41][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And they stasised him early enough
[11:41][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He glanced at Dali with that.
[11:42][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Could we nto cure it with the cure you developed for myself and mr Rhys
[11:42][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is a destinct possibility.
[11:42][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It may have evolved over the years into a completely different thing, too.
[11:42][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Maybe, but we don't know if it's blight that the kid have.
[11:42][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*had )
[11:42][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods to Orestes.* "Bingo.
[11:42][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*nods* "Marcus, It is possible, but not guaranteed.
[11:42][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:True
[11:42][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Plus... if it's a sickness they kept with them for two million years... It may now be a part of them.
[11:42][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "The term 'poisoned' was used, not 'infected.'
[11:43][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nothing more than a racial trait.
[11:43][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mm, and how much of our DNA has been altered by viruses clinging on and hitching a ride?
[11:43][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Exactly, Eren.
[11:44][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"It would be worth study at least.
[11:44][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Absolutely.
[11:45][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And so arthur sat upon his throne, and did he whither as camelot did, all hopes rested upon Galahad... the last hope
[11:45][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "I will have to report to the Queen and Parliament with this.
[11:45][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Its funny how these cycles exists
[11:45][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"indeed, I will have to report in as well.
[11:46][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] "When I have finished, perhaps we can meet for that discussion." *he nodded to T'Pang.
[11:46][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I'll show our guess to quarters for the time being
[11:46][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "that would be agreeable.
[11:46][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He holds back a grin.
[11:46][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"thank you mister Aquila.
[11:47][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She chuckled slightly.
[11:47][DOIC4]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns to head out.-
[11:47][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:You know in some translations, Galahad is referred to as the last Pilgrim
[11:47][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You humans do love to reference your own literature at every chance you get," *she smirked.
[11:47][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It is not mine
[11:48][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I am not terran
[11:48][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Still human.
[11:48][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Oh, you know what I mean.
[11:48][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Only partially
[11:48][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he chuckled
[11:48][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*His eyes glaze over as his mind wanders.
[11:49][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Anyway, I'll play around with this and try to chart it out for the modern starscape, if we're going on a treasure hunt we may as well have an accurate map.
[11:49][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If you will come with me professors
[11:49][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The Beryxian professors went to follow Aquila.
[11:49][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sure. If you need me for anything, let me know.
[11:49][DOIC3]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila headed ot the VIP deck giving htem a tour
[11:49][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You got it.
[11:50][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The professors seemed very impressed, taking some time to also gawk out the window at their world below.
[11:51][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He went out of the holodeck, heading for a drink and carrot cake.
[11:51][DOIC4]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li turns and heads out for his quarters.
[11:51][DOIC3]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The pilgrims has 15 primary decks. Though only realy 12 are accessible for anything mor ethan necessity. The Mess hall is on deck 2 you will have access to that
[11:51][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I trust you will lock this back down?
[11:52][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As Ryle and T'Pang went to report to their superiors and the Beryxian professors were given their tour, the credits began to roll... *
[11:52][DOIC3]Aquila@Captain_Rien:While you are on board, you will have vip access to the computer systems and the ability to wander the vessel unaccompanied, however if you attempt to enter a restricted area such as the bridge. o
[11:52][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Not going to let it get up and walk away, trust me." *She winked.
[11:53][DOIC3]Aquila@Captain_Rien:engineering you will be stopped and escorted back to a safe area, but otherwise welcome aboard the pilgrim
[11:53][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"i'll be in medical if i'm needed. Thanks Eren... and if I didn't say it before, glad to have you aboard.
[11:53][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Thank you, it's truly an honour.
[11:53][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Glad to be here," *she chuckled as she worked.
[11:54][DOIC3]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If you will follow me I am headed ot the mess hall
[11:54][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor headed up to the bar.* "Some synthale and whatever today's special is.
[11:54][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They followed.
[11:55][DOIC3]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he lead them up to deck 2 and to the mess hall
[11:55][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*T'Ghor was given a synthale and a big, heaping portion of stroganoff.
[11:55][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor let out a whimper that can only be described as pure ecstasy as he saw the strogannoff, heading to a table.
[11:55][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:This is where we dine most of the time, Your quarters have replicators within them but we wills till eb in beryxia orbit for the time being
[11:55][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Koros, you are a treasure of Kahless.
[11:55][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koros
[11:56][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koros] "You're damn right!" *He barked from the kitchen.
[11:56][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Koros, we have two guests from the surface, I am sure they would like an experience that can't get there
[11:56][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Anaxia and Vyran our master Chef Koros
[11:56][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li walks into his quarters, going over to check on Adrian and the holohanny.
[11:56][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*nann
[11:56][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koros] *He gave them a look for a moment, then gave them their stroganoff and a slice of carrot cake each.
[11:57][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He took a deep sip of his synthale and dug into his own stroganoff.
[11:57][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila took a double portion fo the stroganoff
[11:58][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The professors went to sit, talking excitedly among themselves as they picked apart their dishes.
[11:58][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila joined them and nodded for t'ghro to join
[11:58][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He was passed out on the couch, his shirt covered in drool and a half-drunk sippy cup of juice still clutched in his hand.
[11:59][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:So 12 dialects of beryxian
[11:59][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He stepped up with his stuff.
[11:59][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li walks over and gently picks him up.
[12:00][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "Oh, yes! They have many different uses, too; some simply developed in different regions, but some were blends of two or three in order to facilitate trade, as well as the High Poetic..
[12:01][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:dialect that was often used in prose and poetry.
[12:01][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods as he listens.* "Which would you say is the closest to the ones your ancestors used when they made their exodus?
[12:01][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"May be useful for me and Eren to learn.
[12:02][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "That would be the Old Tongue, from which all of our languages originated. Much like how you said your Latin was."
[12:03][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "It's never used any more; there are certain connotations that it is too close to the siren's speech.
[12:03][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.* "So not really possible to learn it?
[12:04][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Well Latin was actually the spoken language, Greek for us was used. No you can learn it but spoken would be odd
[12:04][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Ragnar has explained thi with his language and old Norse
[12:04][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] *She nodded.* "We have the texts and their translations, but it has not been spoken in milennia.
[12:04][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Izarian icelandic is written the same way as that language was almsot 1000 years ago, but spoken completely different
[12:05][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perahps closer to 1200 years
[12:05][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nosd to Anaxia.* "Anything you could give us that might help evnetual translations, we would be very grateful, Professor.
[12:05][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he ate
[12:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "I teach a class on the Old Tongue every summer semester, I can send you copies of my materials and lessons.
[12:06][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Would you say you are perhaps one of those on your world most close to fluency
[12:07][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "I am the leading expert on ancient linguistics, yes.
[12:07][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Then perhaps if this mission is tasked to us, you would simply come with us
[12:07][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods and smiles gratefully.* "Even if you come, I would appreciate courses.
[12:07][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I expect Ryle will be along
[12:08][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "I would have to think about it. It is an opportunity of a lifetime, to be certain, but I am an academic and I have my classes to continue teaching.
[12:10][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I have to respect your dedication to your students. Many would leap at the opportunity immediately.
[12:10][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And what abotu you Vyran? WOudl you stay true to your academic obligations
[12:10][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "It is a very tempting offer, one I would need to discuss with the school board.
[12:11][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Well it is obviously not an offer yet, It would probably need to come from your queen and through Dawn alliance command
[12:11][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Yes, of course. Hypothetically speaking, I meant.
[12:11][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods at that.* "Can't wiggle out of the bureaucracy, no matter which galaxy you're in.
[12:11][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:So what exactly is the beryxian exodus story, perhaps in addition to what we saw in the play
[12:12][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"To word it better... What's the actual history of it? Not the dramatized version?
[12:13][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded to t'ghor* That is my meaning
[12:13][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "The thing about our people is that often the dramatisation becomes the actual history. Mind you, we are speaking of an event that occurred two million years ago.
[12:13][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Of course. That is understandable
[12:14][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That is true... Mine and Aquila's species could not even be called intelligent life back then.
[12:14][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Some would still not call us that today," *he chuckled.
[12:15][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He chuckles.* "That is more subjective. Two million years ago is roughly when humanity took shape as... weird big monkeys with slightly bigger brains.
[12:15][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And klingons i beleive still ahd full exoskelatons
[12:15][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.
[12:15][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Looked much cooler back then, that's for sure.
[12:16][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Yes... I believe I had heard of a theory from your Dawn Alliance, that our evolutionary processes had been stalled all this time?
[12:16][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.* "It is an unconfirmed one, yes. But it is believed the Dark intentionally cut off the evolution of most, if not all species.
[12:17][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "It would make sense. Genetic mutations occur at a much lower rate for our people than for yours, from what I've read.
[12:18][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.* "Evolution is that... successful mutations. It is not an ordered plan. So it is against everything the Dark stands for.
[12:18][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:'Stagnation is order, in her eyes.
[12:19][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Even in our exile, we are unable to escape from the Dark.
[12:19][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed
[12:20][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We bruised her cheek recently. It will be hard, but with the kzari finally getting their asses in gear, we are slowly growing powerful enough for the Dawn Alliance to be able to 
[12:20][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Help the people of this galaxy forge their own paths forward.
[12:21][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Well, whatever we can do to help, we will. Our people are not warriors, but we have our own ways of doing battle. And we owe her one for the Blight.
[12:21][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Anaxia] "Indeed... were it not for the Miracle, I would have been killed by it.
[12:22][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.* "Every person who does not fear her is a slight wane of her power, from what I hear.
[12:23][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Then I look forward to a day where her name brings only scorn and derision, not fear.
[12:23][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"As do we all." *he toasts.
[12:25][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They looked at the gesture curiously, then mirrored it.
[12:26][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he toasted
[12:26][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ah... This is a toast. We do it as a celebration, a remembrance, a wish to better times... Things like that.
[12:27][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Ah... I see.
[12:29][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "Well, thank you for sharing this with us. I believe we both have a lot of work to do now with what was discovered today.
[12:30][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He stirred awake.* "Fa?
[12:31][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.* "As an archeologist, my work will hopefulyl be in the work that follows... But I would be grateful if I could have both of you's expertise, even if you are not on the mission.
[12:31][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed
[12:31][DOIC5]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Adrian
[12:31][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vyran] "I'm sure we can set up a method of communication between your ship and our world.
[12:31][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Should our governments allow it, I will share findings with you, even with the distance making comms more difficult.
[12:31][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.
[12:31][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Our ship's Second officer is damn good with that. She'll set it up.
[12:32][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He gave a big yawn.
