[9:39][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays! *
[9:43][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Tonight's episode opens on the Pilgrim as it remains stationary near the border of the Black Ocean where a ruined Kzari station had been discovered the day before. As the camera sweeps around..
[9:43][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:they could see the Enigma not far away, watching over them like a protective older sister. The view fades in to the bridge of the Pilgrim, where T'Pang is giving her log. *
[9:45][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 98432.49, The Pilgrim remains along side the KUSO3 station, which is now nothing more than a memorial to the dead. The Enigma has caught up to us after having taken the..
[9:47][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:rescued Kirtascan passengers home. I have enformed the Kzai regime about the fate of their station, they are dispatching a couple patrol ships to being their own investigation and to retreive the ..
[9:48][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:lone survivor. The survivoe identified as one Angelike von Schult remains in our sickbay. Due to the trauma she remains in a fragile psychological state and has thus far needed to be sedated
[9:49][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:hopefully she can make a full recovery, I know it is not likily to be and easy road ahead for her. End Log
[9:49][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle do we have an ETA on thos Kzari patrol ships?
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle do we have an ETA on thos Kzari patrol ships?
[9:50][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** A general feeling of unease has settled over the crew with their current proximity to the Black Ocean... *
[9:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Within the hour, Captain.
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Have I mentioned I hat the black ocean?
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Good, I am anxious to get back underway..
[9:50][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Shifts in his seat uncomfortably, eyes shifting left to right across his console.
[9:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checked his tacscan
[9:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Try going through it..." *She shook her head.* "Worst few weeks of this life.
[9:51][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- I doubt it is a popular vacation sit
[9:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It kinda looks like Ilya's type of place. Zero stimuli to annoy her.
[9:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I have the Kzari inbound on long range to confirm their etas
[9:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mh. And I'll remind you all I was there the last time the ocean flooded over and swallowed up this whole Kzari corridor. We need to add some distance.
[9:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You don't want to know the kinds of things she's got swimming around in there.
[9:53][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods-0 Agreed..this has been the site of more than a few fleet engagements since our arrival out her
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i agree Lieutenant.
[9:54][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to T'Pang
[9:54][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Illya is not a fan of giant hard to kill dark powered dragons T'Gho
[9:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Neither is Tier
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Unfortunate, though. These Kzari basically got eaten by sharks while trying to install a tsunami detector.
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teir] *The Andorian looked up only briefly to scowl.
[9:55][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-shakes her head- They..they just never..give up..do they
[9:55][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Looking at her PADD, does not speak of the black ocean, but is checking the report on the kirtascan's on Enigma.
[9:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila gave him a pat on the shoulder
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Wouldn't you want to at least have an alarm system in place if your home could become oceanfront property in a matter of hours?
[9:56][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:No no I agree..I admire their stubborness and wil
[9:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ilya is not a fan of anything.
[9:56][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li taps his foot, looking at his console.
[9:56][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- She is a fanof me..that is enoug
[9:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i can't help but feel this station, while in principle a useful thing...I feel the implementation was horribly botched..lead to a regretable loss of life.
[9:56][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Eager to get back on the road?" *She smiled slightly at Li.
[9:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:In honesty we can't be sure of how to cleanse the infection on baord
[9:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I feel teh Kzari will likely simply have to finish it off
[9:57][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to that as well
[9:57][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Yeah...*Li does his best to maintain a poker face.
[9:57][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:SOmetimes it is bes to ..cauterized the woun
[9:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i agree Mister Aquila...In fact I think that is standard Kzari operating proceedure anyway.
[9:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Hopefully they don't apply the same principle to the technician we found.
[9:58][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-winces at that
[9:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i should hope not.
[9:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed
[10:00][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Has sciences had any success in understanding the shadow creatures?" *she looks to the captain* "I've submitted what I have of analysis on the infection to the citadel by the way.
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mm, sole survivor of something like this... best of luck to her.
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "They appear to be similar shadow creatures to the types we've encountered before in and around the Black Ocean, doctor.
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..unfortunately Doctor our science seems woefully inadequate when it comes to attempting to understand these shadow creatures.
[10:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:These more of the Mimic variety
[10:01][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Nodding to them both* "I thought that might be the case
[10:01][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:and similar to the dark nature you and Eirene found bound to the Traek Doctor..
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..i imagine eventually we will catch up...
[10:01][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I believe you had some scucess with i
[10:02][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:success
[10:02][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*sighs, giving a nod
[10:02][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:A small portion but you did save the
[10:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "And if they're like the ones on Xert..." *She shifted her jaw.* "They may be innocents that are being forced to do the dark's bidding through their corruption.
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fuck, am I glad we missed that.
[10:04][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks annoyed- She uses ..living shields..a cowards ac
[10:04][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-venom t oher voice
[10:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Yeah, it wasn't a picnic...
[10:05][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We had ourt hands full on Kirtasca
[10:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And then with the Zhyx
[10:05][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*laughs sadly and ironically.* "I was about to say, not the first time, but .. considering how long she has been doing it... it may be she who did it first.
[10:05][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Marcus
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Honestly, Kirtas and Zhyx sound like a picnic compared to the Xert reports.
[10:06][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Hey, it's gonna be alright... we're going back. We'll find her.
[10:06][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Well maybe we are doing something right for once..the tide did fade away agai
[10:07][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Looking to the view screen for a moment, as if she might see the edge of the black move one way or another.
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "It's pretty nice to have the corridor back... having to ask the Kzari nicely if we could pass through was a chore.
[10:07][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles
[10:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Not to sound the pessamist, but the tide fades before the Tsunami
[10:08][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I /knew/ someone was gonnabring that up.
[10:08][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Not an analogy I care for much. Good thing this isn't actually water.
[10:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She chuckled.* "Oh, I certainly know.
[10:10][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li takes a deep breath and nods, trying to keep it together.
[10:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I know it may sound a bit 'romantic' in truth...but be nice to see a 'lighthouse' out here of a sor
[10:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain Kzari are arive, two Patrol Cruisers
[10:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"excellent..
[10:11][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"well, the foundations for one, even if crumbled.
[10:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Dali
[10:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "It's not a bad idea, not at all... just maybe move it back a little bit.
[10:12][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Thanks
[10:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks a Dahli-- "Doctor is your patient ready for transport?
[10:12][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] *She gave Li a pat on the shoulder.* "And if you need anything, we're all here, you know.
[10:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"having any outpost this close to the Black Ocean seems like a bad idea.
[10:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Brandt] *He looked up from his onion sandwich.* "Yeah, boss, we've got your back.
[10:13][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"She is... was anxiously waiting to get back to her people I believe.
[10:13][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Thank you...all of you. I do appreciate it...it hasn't been easy
[10:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:A ship at station keeping would be more logical
[10:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "To be fair, it wasn't an outpost... but potayto potahto.
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i imagine so...I certainly wish the best for her.
[10:14][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Tapping on her padd, sends alert to nurse Rigby to tell the patient her people are here and advise of soon being transportd.
[10:15][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** On the viewscreen, they could see two Kzari patrol cruisers joining them on their port side.*
[10:15][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I will be glad to have my surgical bay back. She hasn't wanted to leave it... still worried we brought shadows back with us on board.
[10:15][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Double checks the controls and sensor readouts to ensure proximity separation of the ships.
[10:17][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Is satisfied with the Kzari ship separation and returns to gazing out the viewscreen
[10:17][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Helm are they in formation to accept transporter
[10:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "They are hailing us, Captain.
[10:17][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Looks back at the commander* "Aye Commander, Kzari ships are in transporter range off the port side.
[10:18][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to T'Pang
[10:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"put them on screen Gayle
[10:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks up at the big screen TV-
[10:19][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali accesses on her PADD, and sends the patient treatment records to the buffer for Gayle to access and transmit when protocol requires.
[10:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A Kzari woman appeared on-screen, looking as stern and severe as Kzari so often were. However, there was clear respect in the way she met the screen with her eyes.* "Kaptain T'Pang, we thank you..
[10:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:for your assistance in this matter. Is there anything you can tell us about what has happened here?
[10:20][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Listens intently to the conversation, learning and picking up on native dialects
[10:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...There is very little I can say beyond the fact that this was an attack by the Dark. Our away team encountered shadow creatures on the station, it would seem to be infested.
[10:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...we were unable to do a proper investigation for that reason, so the motive for the attack is unknown.
[10:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] *Her lips pursed momentarily, then she nodded once and made a motion to someone off-screen.* "Understood. This is a Kzari matter, and we will handle it from here.
[10:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] "We understand one of the civilian technicians was found alive?
[10:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We were able to get some details from the one survivor. She is however understablably traumatized and was not able to provide a lot of useful details.
[10:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the survivor was identified as Angelike von Schult, a civilian technician.
[10:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] "Very well. Were you able to take anything from the station's computer?
[10:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"No. we were unable to access the computer, it appeared to have been wiped...we are not sure by who.
[10:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] *She was silent for a small moment, as if considering T'Pang's words.* "Wiped? Not destroyed, but wiped?
[10:27][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-scowls this bothering her as well
[10:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"right, quite unusual. Perhaps by the commanding Leftenant? He was alive up to seven days after contact was lost with the station.
[10:28][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*shudders
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it appears he took his own life..
[10:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] *Her eyes narrowed at this distastefully.* "His job would have been to preserve a record for his people. Erasing it and committing suicide would be... treasonous.
[10:31][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Notices the wording, and the offense in the Kzari's eyes. He turns to the Captain, though remains silent as not to interrupt.
[10:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...Perhaps, but we have no idea what happened here, at least not the full picture anyway.
[10:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] "We have one witness, at least. After she is treated by our doktors she will fill in the gaps.
[10:32][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"The patient was somewhat disturbed, mentioned whispers, but... she was somewhat deranged from her experience so it is uncertain what was reliable before she feels safe.
[10:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..Hopefully she can..
[10:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] *She nodded.* "Thank you for keeping her safe for us. We will take it from here.
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "Very well, send us the coordinates and we will transport her over.
[10:34][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Picks her PADD back up, sending message to Rigby to make sure she has the bridge monitor up, and the patient can see her people are here and when to be ready.
[10:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Coordinates received, Captain.
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Understood, have transporter room one beam her over on the Doctor's say so.
[10:36][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"She is ready Captain." *she is reading from her PADD
[10:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Gayle-
[10:37][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-softly under her breath to teh poor tech- Q'pl
[10:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "And... there she goes.
[10:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--leans back in her seat.-
[10:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] *She looked back at an underling, then forward again.* "We've received her. Thank you once again, Kaptain T'Pang.
[10:40][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-
[10:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Kzari] *She gave them a crisp Kzari salute, and the hail ended.
[10:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--blinks as the haile ends abruptly-
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Not much for small talk are they?
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nope.
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "This one isn't anyway... some will talk your ear off.
[10:42][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- No...not so much Skippe
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i wonder what their plan is?
[10:42][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:If it is what we believe it to be..we might see before we depar
[10:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Kzari are charging weapons
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Are we in a hurry to depart?
[10:43][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:and there we g
[10:43][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** On the screen, they could see the Kzari advancing on the station. *
[10:43][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:No I meant that captain -nods to the screen
[10:44][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...their plan
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Blast it to Valhalla or whatever it is they believe in.
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i don't disagree with the course of action...but it is unfortunate that we could not do a proper investigation here.
[10:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I mean, you're the Captain, Captain. If you want us to do donuts for the rest of the month we can do that.
[10:44][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We still have work to do and a missing crewmate out ther
[10:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:AS it stands captain taht is enemy ground, There is not much we can do wihtout securing it and I do not believe it worth the risk
[10:44][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*can't styfle a chortle
[10:44][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*remains poised at the controls; ready to initiate action quickly if ordered
[10:44][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We still have work to do and a missing crewmate out ther
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This is true Valkriss..we will have to leave this mystery to the Kzari..
[10:45][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods
[10:45][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As they watched, the two Kzari ships opened fire on the station, effectively killing it with fire. *
[10:45][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:They are nothing...if not efficien
[10:45][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The wrecked husk was obliterated, its pieces tumbling through space with the force of the blast. *
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very well helm lets get back on course, from before we got diverted to this Kzari station.
[10:46][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Do we know if that is effective in destroying the Shadows?
[10:46][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"Aye Captain, laying in course.... and plotted... ready to depart on your word Ma'am.
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Dahli-- "No doctor not really..
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"engage helm.
[10:46][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:--pushes button-
[10:47][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Do we?....no...but they have been fighting the Dark for the last two million years of their race's exssitence..in some form or another
[10:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i assume the Kzari have more experience with it than we do.
[10:47][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim and Enigma turned from the scene as the Kzari went about ensuring nothing was left behind with great prejudice. They were still going at it as the two ships leapt gracefully back..
[10:47][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Somehow I would still feel more secure if we turned on the port lighting to bathe the hull for a while in light.
[10:47][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:into warp. *
[10:48][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-to T'Pang- Couldn't hur
[10:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--smirks-- "You heard her Gayle..
[10:48][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"Hard to do at warp.
[10:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Pilot has a point, we're going a little bit faster than light.
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"It will be fine inside the warp bubble, we are just lighting up our own bum..
[10:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Alright, ma'am." *She turned on the lights.
[10:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you Gayle..
[10:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Wonder what we'll find on our next stop... cosmozoan hitch-hikers? Oh! Chantry bus full of nuns!
[10:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He keeps his eyes open, scanning around.* "Oooh... Chantry bus sounds fun.
[10:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "You wish, Eren...
[10:52][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- Most of them are truly easy ont he eye
[10:52][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*shakes his head while he monitors the warp status
[10:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I've had a lot of luck with religious females in this galaxy.
[10:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The Chantry is... it would not be surprising to find them
[10:52][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I mean talk about those legs...they go all the way down..
[10:52][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"As legs often do.
[10:52][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"The dark ecclesiastical choir tour bus... lovely though.
[10:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "And when they wear the black stockings with their short little habits...
[10:53][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- Exactly Ere
[10:53][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Glancing back at Eren, she can't help but smile.
[10:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i would prefer not to encounter the Chantry on this trip..
[10:53][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:and their boots..
[10:54][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-shakes her head with a smile- The baddies always have like the best boot
[10:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Don't you like glittery golden bodies, Captain?
[10:54][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"As I recall, You wore such a costume a few years ago Eren, before we encountered the Chantry.
[10:54][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looks back at Eren at that
[10:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "One of my more successful Halloween costumes." *She smirked.
[10:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*pays attention to his console
[10:54][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I would imagin
[10:54][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Trying to change away from t'ghor's question of the captain
[10:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it is not thier bodies I object to Lieutenant.
[10:55][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-playful smirk to her skipper- Who would
[10:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Laughs.* "No sane person!
[10:56][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Picks up her PADD to check schedule and status again
[11:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*montiors the few ships on the edge of their scan until they pass away as they travel
[11:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She watched as T'Pang headed off the bridge.* "Perks of being in charge...
[11:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yupp... Damn, this part of space is the most boring shit I've flown through.
[11:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:There is a void at the far reaches of the alpha quadrant on the other side of tzeknethi space. It is worse, It doesn't even harbor thigns that would try to kill you
[11:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "This is what space travel is all about..." *She sipped her iced coffee.
[11:06][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"I believe the crew of the USS Voyager encountered such a void. It would have been 2 years of travelling without even so much as a star.
[11:07][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-assumes the conn and sits down into the command chair as T'Pang takes her leave
[11:07][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:That is why we have holodeck
[11:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Fortuanatley the void i traverse was smaller and took mere weeks
[11:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*i traversed
[11:08][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** A few hours passed as they traveled the corridor, finding nothing particularly notable in that time, until T'Ghor's console dinged with a newly detected signal. *
[11:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey, I got something!" *He looks down at his console.
[11:09][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looksup from her PADD where she had soo not been reading Agatha Christie's 'Death on the Nile'
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey, it's an actual radio wave!
[11:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*sent the move then put the padd away
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He tries to tune in and listen to it.
[11:10][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Old style
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yupp. Old school.
[11:10][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Glancing up from her PADD* "Really?
[11:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Curious out this far as well,,,,message endoced
[11:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:and do we have a point of possible origin yet
[11:11][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Perks up. Having some knowledge of Earth history, and old Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation systems...
[11:13][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"Captain should I slow to impulse so we don't doppler shift the signal? At warp, I believe any radio transmission would experience a severe shift in waveform.
[11:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Commander..and yes please dop s
[11:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"So...
[11:13][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"Aye commander, sorry.
[11:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:firsdt brings us back around to the point of contac

[11:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We dont wish to los tthe signa
[11:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:lose
[11:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Clearly it is a code of some kind. Commander Gayle? Can you help me cross check with morse code, binary, and other similar types?
[11:13][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"Aye Commander, already plotting a course to intercept the signal.
[11:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Good work Hel
[11:14][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or it could simply be interference
[11:14][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Indeed..run it ythrough the UT as wel
[11:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No... I definitely think it's communication of some kind." *He feeds it to teh UT too.
[11:14][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim dipped out of warp, swinging around to backtrack.
[11:15][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"Commander, Earth, and some older cultures utilized radio waves to broadcast data as well. If it is not a vocal signal, it could be a data broadcast, or homing beacon. Pilots in the 21st century used
[11:15][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:A similar method known as ADF.
[11:15][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Such a code may be difficult to crack..if it is a tear sheet code like the humans old morse or the Bolian Htaka code
[11:16][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Like alanding field beacon....or a signal of distress...old stylestarfleet distress beacons used radio signal totrip up navigationd efelctors to get attention as late as the mid 2250
[11:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Not enough data for the UT. We gotta wing it.
[11:16][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"May I listen to the audio spectrum?
[11:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Aye, sending it over.
[11:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Just play it, T'Ghor.
[11:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods and plays it over the loudspeakers.
[11:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A series of rapid clicks could be heard.
[11:17][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:While welisten..try andget a backtrack for apossible pointof origin T'Gho
[11:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You know... It almost sounds like a telegraph.
[11:18][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Was that not just...Morse code
[11:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods and tries to backtrack the origin.
[11:18][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Focuses on the sounds. Closing his eyes, and attempting to piece together a pattern, or possible use the sender would have done.
[11:18][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:or was it ..Morris' code
[11:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Morse code was my first guess, Commander.
[11:18][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Morse? Morris
[11:18][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"wait, can you play it again?" *she goes to take notes on it
[11:18][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:nods to Vera
[11:18][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Repeats slowly* "Testing... testing... are you sure this thing is on?

[11:19][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"When do we-- Oh! It's on.
[11:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Curious
[11:19][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Indee
[11:19][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"More or less. I had to ad lib a few of the words.
[11:19][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*q to valkriss* "He is translating... on the fly.. incredible. I haven't heard this in a long time.
[11:20][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:What is it exactly doctor
[11:20][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Continues slowly* "We did it! I can't believe it! Sizla, get the children, it's working!
[11:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I do not think its morse code. However it may simply be a digitized signal at a low sample rate he is reconstructing
[11:20][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Begins programming the language into a data set that the UT could intercept and read.
[11:20][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"binary encoding of letters developed by samual morse to be able to send text messaging down an electrical line over distance.
[11:21][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:So this is...morse code
[11:21][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"T'ghor, I am sending you a data set. This should act as a cypher for the message.
[11:21][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*pauses* "more or less.
[11:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I'll take it from here," *she said as T'Ghor ran off for a science emergency.
[11:22][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Looks at Aquila* "Precisely, it was distorted, and garbled, but I was able to discern the intent of the message first, and it slowly worked into words.
[11:23][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'll tell you about it more later Valkriss
[11:23][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to the doctor- Thank you....Do we have any idea on the age of this broadcas
[11:23][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Shakes his head* "I'm not an expert on signal degradation unfortunately.
[11:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If we are detecting it. It can't be that old relatively btu absolutely if the waves were trapped in the balck ocean
[11:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or the transmission source

[11:24][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:not to mention degradtion resulting frombackground cosmic interferenc
[11:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:However the Alhrt could start to run numbers on the degredation
[11:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Just what you want to hear... radio signals from the Black Ocean..." *she tapped on her console.
[11:24][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"Commander, it is safe to assume, that was a test message. Additional messages may follow from days to hours pending. If we could track the signal direction, we could intercept them by flying that..
[11:24][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:course.
[11:25][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Sort of why iwished o locate a possible source of origin -winks to him
[11:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "And I have it. Galactic southwest, toward... can anyone guess? You only get one.
[11:25][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Our destination
[11:25][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...well its either theblack ocean or the chantr
[11:26][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Where away Eren
[11:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Can you believe it, you both win the prize... it's in the direction of one of the systems on our starmap that was obfuscated by the Black Ocean.
[11:26][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:"Do you want me to remain at impulse? I believe travel at warp 1 would be sufficient for the signal to be intercepted. It would be highly compressed at that velocity.
[11:27][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"We could drop a probe to record here and send to us subspace so we don't have to sit still for it.
[11:27][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Prep a com bouy to do just tha

[11:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Well, I can get you close anyway." *She sent the data along to Draykson.
[11:29][DOIC1]Draykson@SterlingDrago:*Plugs the information in and awaits the ETA
[11:30][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Is the system still covered by theBlack ocean...or has it been left uncovered by its receeding

[12:04][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That it was in fact us that was transported
[12:04][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Yes the later discovered trut
[12:04][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he laughed* Preservers. Living up to their name
[12:04][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- and annoying science people like Eren to no en
[12:05][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Mhmm. Did they use the same code on Magna Roma or did they come up with something using the same binary principles but different encoding?
[12:05][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She smirked.* "It's not hard to do.
[12:05][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The emergence of an english like language most egregiously sees heads of science to annoyance
[12:05][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he playe dup the roma english
[12:05][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Wanna go work with you..." *He pouted at Li.
[12:05][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*shaking her head* "Hey now, I speak english natively.
[12:05][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:It was anightmarefor me as well wheni was younger Marcus..i feel your pai
[12:05][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:As do I my dear
[12:06][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Uhhh...Adrian, I can't look after you and work
[12:06][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Your people Dali..have soo many..unique metaphor
[12:06][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he fell back into actual english
[12:06][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Why?
[12:06][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Because, Fa's job requires concentration
[12:06][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:But it is actually a very pretty language inmy opinio
[12:06][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Very expressiv
[12:06][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "I consicate too." *He insisted.
[12:07][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Valkriss, it came from poetry ... there was a long time when there nothing more for entertainment than music and talking to each other. so we came up with a lot of ways of saying things.
[12:07][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She drank her wine.
[12:07][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:No...I mean, Fa can't pay attention to Adrian and his job at the same time
[12:07][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:AS for ours it came from being a trade language between three groups
[12:07][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Is that why it is consider..whatis the term..a'romantic' language
[12:07][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*shaking her head ths takes a sip and starts cuting a bit to eat.
[12:07][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "I help.
[12:07][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Yours as well is it not marcus
[12:07][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Latin
[12:08][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Romantic means from Roma
[12:08][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*nods
[12:08][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You use that line a lot?
[12:08][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or Latin, english is a mix of germanic and latin
[12:08][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- I never noticed that befor
[12:08][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Not being a native mind yo
[12:08][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And so is roma we don't call it english but what the federation calls it
[12:08][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-sips her wine enjoying itstaste
[12:09][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Standard
[12:09][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"he's not wrong. There was a long time when people thought of Italian as the language of romance, and french as the language of love. English is actually a mutt of a lot of language influcences.
[12:09][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We call it Lower Roma
[12:09][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles at Marcus
[12:09][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he ate salmon
[12:10][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"That is why esperanzo failed.. there was already a trade language, no need to construct another.
[12:10][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-chuckles- My favoritelanguage is a ..mutt..like Old Yeller
[12:10][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*taking a bite she smiles* "Chef.. you are a wonder
[12:10][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Latin was originally used. but after Kirk. The more widely spoken lower was as it was pretty much the language of the western continent
[12:10][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-toasts Vernon as well
[12:11][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Mutt, as in so many points of heritage it's hard to know what they are.
[12:11][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "'Mutt' just means 'not inbred,' you know.
[12:11][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:With latin beign only for state functions. And Greek for religion often
[12:11][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Vernon] "I just bring it out, ma'am... Koros is the kitchen genius.
[12:12][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Adrian...I will teach you to help when you are older
[12:12][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "I'm older! I'm big now!" *He insisted.
[12:12][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:I amvery curious to see how this mystery unfolds..our current one
[12:12][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed
[12:13][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he drank some wine
[12:13][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali enjoys the asparagus, cut the first one, the second picks up with her fingers* "been a long time since i've had good asparagus.
[12:13][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:So eren how are you finding the pilgrim after being on the flagship
[12:13][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:and the sauce...its perfec
[12:13][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "It sounds to me like a primitive civilisation just discovering the radio for the first time. Or at least were when they first were broadcast...
[12:13][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-to Eren- uits wh I was curious about the age of the broadcast..givenw here we detected it..that is some distanc
[12:14][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Big enough to get a bath like a big boy
[12:14][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She chuckled.* "Oh, it's smaller, and there's far fewer people... but I'm quite enjoying it.
[12:14][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*
[12:14][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*blinking, thinking a moment and looking at Eren* "I have to ask... the black ocean, I've not studied it's properties. Does it slow radio signals?
[12:14][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:We have better food -to Eren
[12:15][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mm, here in the LMC you never can know for sure..." *She then chuckled at Valkriss.* "Food, yes, pies, though... still remains to be seen. Koros has large shoes to fill.
[12:15][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:You should challenge him..he will only up his gam
[12:15][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Koros has big feet.

[12:16][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-hasmoreof her asperagus swishingit around in its sauce to mop up some extra
[12:16][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *Then back to Dali.* "We haven't tested it, but the Black Ocean tends to obfuscate everything, and freeze some things in time.
[12:16][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali enjoys her food, and is giving a disapointed look when she touches her plate with her fork after the last bite, sighs and puts down her fork
[12:16][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Like insects in dark amber.
[12:17][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Dimensional shifts? -finishes her salmon
[12:17][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*eats some of the side
[12:17][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Amazing... I've heard of the dilation effect for lifeforms on a planetoid, but haven't read anything of it in space.
[12:17][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:I mean..the scale toeffect entire star systems.
[12:18][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "That's what we believe to be the case. But it's not just that. It's something of an interdimensional... environment all of its own, capable of hosting these shadow creatures. Some of..
[12:18][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:sizes that you wouldn't even believe. That I wouldn't believe had I not seen them for myself on the Adagio.
[12:19][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-lets this sink in
[12:19][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*leaning back with glass in hand, she undoes her uniform jacket* "it's not my science, but still something fascinating. If we could figure out the effects and determine if safe, it would make stasi
[12:19][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:more complete, and possibly save some lives.
[12:19][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He pouted.* "Okayyyy...
[12:19][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-to Dali- Anything tied to her..always seems to come at a price in the end
[12:20][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"it's still technology. I rarely think of technology as good or evil, only it's usage.
[12:20][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smirks.* If you take bath, Fa will take you to Gamma Shift to look around
[12:20][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"unless it is based off of that metal, or crystal.
[12:20][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "When that technology changes you fundamentally on its usage, I think we can safely call it evil.
[12:20][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:I do not disagree my friend
[12:21][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He gasped.* "Gramma?!
[12:21][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Anything based off of harvesting the life force of another, it evil, i agree with you on that much Eren.
[12:21][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:But Eren is correct...I have seen first hand the effects early experiments back home hadon those silver eyed ESPer
[12:21][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*finsihed his salmon
[12:22][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:Your goals and intent are noble though Dal
[12:22][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Gamma...you will get to go to work with me
[12:22][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:*sipping and thinking a moment
[12:22][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Where gramma?" *He demanded.
[12:23][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Understanding how they do things, is going to be so important to learn how to undo them when they are harmful. I'm thinking small, but hells, they drain stars.
[12:23][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:She is on Bajor
[12:23][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "We go Baychore?
[12:24][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I am not certian there is a way to undo the elder obsidian
[12:24][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Nor whatever process is used to create the Chosen
[12:24][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li shakes his head.* We go to work...together
[12:25][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:...for now at least....for us

[12:26][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles and picks Adrian up.* Baffh tim
[12:26][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Not to wax metaphysical, but I wonder though, if the crystal is distroyed, if the metal is destroyed, does it release the life force of those trapped within? or are they lost.
[12:26][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:I really ..really needed thatmea
[12:27][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"One coudl hope.

[12:29][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He made unhappy little noises as he was lifted.
[12:30][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Adrian...if you want to go to work, baffh time
[12:30][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He glared, but didn't protest.
[12:30][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Thank you" *she says with a touch of her hand on his, then after he sits and picks up his utensil, takes a bite
[12:30][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he smiled and ate with a little icecream
[12:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She tried a bite of hers.
[12:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She paused, eyes widening slightly.

[12:35][DOIC5]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I would love to say not possible, but, was less than a 100 years between when they could transmit radio to building a nuke back on earth. So very possible.
