[9:10][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li picks up another Puppy Ranger action figure.
[9:10][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Is still in his lab, pondering over the star charts, trying to smooth out details.
[9:10][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They really have seen to make there part of the citadel their own.
[9:10][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was a knock at his door.
[9:10][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Think the Sentinel has first dibs.
[9:10][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Goes to the door and opens it, standing in the doorway.* "Yeah?
[9:10][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He rubbed his bearded chin, staring silently at the dock.
[9:10][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I was not given any specific details.
[9:11][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"they have a lot of entertainment in their culture. Though don't be surprised if you hear covers of Earth music. I made sure they had access to our database of musical art.
[9:11][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -chuckles- IF veeri has any say they d
[9:12][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Well Maximus is probably happy to be missing this one for now. Mjolnir got patche dup and shipped out rather quickly.
[9:12][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Orestes was standing there, flanked by the Simirians Sey Tirodante and Len Riotedes.
[9:12][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Got you presents!
[9:12][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--raises an eyebrow at Liz-- "That is okay with me, we really don't have the space on the Pilgrim for giant monsters.
[9:12][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to the Simirians, waving them in.* "Thank you.
[9:12][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Indeed they do like the music of the 1980s.
[9:12][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] Well did not stop for the holidays..I am sure the Mjolnir was indeed neede
[9:13][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"The gods know why... it was the least impressive decade... though.. I like it too.
[9:13][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -chuckles a little more- Wait until after this meeting ..you might have to make room -winks at her
[9:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They stepped inside, and Orestes walked right up to the machines.
[9:13][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Talia actually been awhile since in person. *he offerend a handshake* They haven't stuck a Star on you yet
[9:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I also got you an OctaVIA. Pain in the ass to get it, too.
[9:13][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang sighs-- "it can sleep with my Chief Science officer.
[9:14][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "He'll just enjoy that, Captain." *He chuckled faintly.
[9:14][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They seem quite enamored with the music of ABBA.
[9:14][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -bows her head and dips her antennae to Jax as she offered a firm handshake back- Lor'vela no..I prefer right where I am now andyes ithas been too long. I am pleased you are still with us my 
[9:14][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Do you want something to eat? *Li looks down at Adrian.
[9:14][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Did you hear the Berixian choir cover of somebody to love?
[9:14][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I don't doubt that Commander Blaine.
[9:14][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Pilot] "Approaching docking point.
[9:14][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Shit, thank you. The one I got was... you know. A bit insane.
[9:15][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -chuckles at the idea of Tghor with a Kaiju
[9:15][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Looks to the simirians.* "How've you been?
[9:15][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Well even if they did give you th epromotion on this side you could always give it back when we went back or steal your own ship or something. usually worth a demotion back to captain
[9:15][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I coulda told you it was defective. This thing? Fifty hours orientation, if you go through the correct channels. It's more classified than the Dark's half-betazoid love child and just.
[9:16][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:as dangerous in the wrong hands. You don't just let that wander around the Citadel.
[9:16][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -laughs- I would consider such company an honor..however I am unsure I have his luc
[9:16][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Yes.
[9:16][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali laughs a bit as they walk* "I kind of grew out of ABBA about the time I got tired of Def Lepard... oh no.." *she shudders
[9:16][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "No!" *He stared at the door as if trying to will it open.
[9:16][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Most of us don't. Liz seems to attract like a sponge
[9:16][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fuck, how'd you even get your hands on that? I wrote to Dr. Rendino but she didn't speed it up for me.
[9:17][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*they approached the goldenrod
[9:17][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "We're fine, by the way." *He smirked.
[9:17][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "But getting clearance to actually work is like pulling teeth.
[9:17][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It does look liek it belongs on hollywood boulivard.
[9:17][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Okay
[9:18][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I could't say... it wsa under water when I tried to visit it.
[9:18][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Several recent holoprograms like the setting.
[9:18][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz]-protests- Hey! its so notmy fault they keep promoting me
[9:18][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The shuttle moved into position, and with a hiss they could hear the docking tube locking with the airlock.
[9:18][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"If you recall the one set int eh 1940s is just a series there is one set in 1981.
[9:19][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Oh, the 40s version? Mulholland hat squad setting was fun.
[9:19][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, sorry." *He bows his head slightly to the two.* "Been working my ass off and I think I forgot how to talk to people who weren't Orestes... but we think we really might have something here.
[9:19][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he gestured to the line.* Shall we wait or use our celebrity
[9:19][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Beats the Imperium, at least." *She shrugged her half-mechanical shoulders.
[9:20][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Guess that's the end of the line for us.
[9:20][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I didn't bring sunshades, Lets be kind and stand in line... if we get plucked out I won't argue, but I won't be a bitch.
[9:20][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--As soon as the seat belt sign was turned off, T'Pang would stand and move in and orderly fashion for the exit.-
[9:20][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -stands and clicks her tongue to Marcus- Phrasing dearie..phrasin
[9:21][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:-Talia collects her PADD and heads out with the others
[9:21][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He just smirked and went out.
[9:21][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. People have been a bit more... cautious lately. Even with people we know. This war has got everyone on edge.
[9:21][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he got in line
[9:22][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali stands against him, enjoying the closeness as they are in line.
[9:22][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] *startted humming an chain gang song
[9:22][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -smiles recognizing the tune
[9:22][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She was waiting for them in the reception area, turning to give a wicked grin to the other captains.* "Took you long enough. Ready to see how we're going to kick the Tanausans where..
[9:22][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:it hurts?
[9:23][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Well thats as different type o' music Captain
[9:23][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -ponders that and then grins- ...sur
[9:23][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "As well it should. So, where do you want us?
[9:23][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -grins at Arfacio- Good to see you back on your fee
[9:25][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Arfacio-- "i was under the impression we were already hurting the Imperium. You mean to say we are finally going to get serious with them?
[9:25][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*shuffled as people were being let in
[9:25][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Can't kick sitting down, at least not very far." *She motioned for them to follow her down a corridor to an observation deck, the windows opaque.* "We're fighting off their attacks..
[9:25][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, one of you should probably keep an eye on the VIA's proccesses. Make sure we don't have anything shady going on. I want the other one to see if they can add any unknown points of interest from
[9:26][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -follows listening
[9:26][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Tanausan space to the star charts. Will probably make it easier for the... theoretical... ghost in the machine to recognize the map if we give more details.
[9:26][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:certainly. That's all we've been able to do, they have multiple advantages over us that make it so. I'm going to remove one of their advantages.
[9:26][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -hands claspsed behind her back, skips along with the others as she listens
[9:26][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] I like how you think girl
[9:26][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I like the sound of that.
[9:27][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] yeah line has stagnated a bit since we took back Kirta
[9:28][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Think that put htem a bit on the cautious foot. they tightened their lines and got more strategic with their attacks
[9:28][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] Indeed..event e Kzari have only retaken one colony -nods in agreement with Jax
[9:28][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"one of their biggest advantages they have is the distance to their part of the galaxy. They have portal technology we don't have access to.
[9:28][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Resting her hed on his chest when they pause, making sure to keep his arm around her.
[9:28][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "That's Admiral Wen for you. Smart gal. Cut from the same cloth as I and many of you. In another life we'd all be drinking buddies, I figure.
[9:29][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] Yeah I kinda dig her mind..so to spea
[9:29][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I have met this Admiral Wen. She is a lot different than most Imperial officers.
[9:29][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "I'll work the star charts, then.
[9:30][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Been messing with VIAs since I was a kid, this'll be simple.
[9:30][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] She seems highly adaptive...a true threa
[9:30][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Well wouldn't be fun if it weren't a challenge right
[9:30][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We could wait somewhere where you could sit down
[9:30][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] If it is not difficult there would be no woes to use as weapons -nods
[9:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "No, it would not. And the challenge we shall face..." *She hit the panel on the wall, causing the windows to become transparent. In the vast chamber before them rested an Imperium..
[9:31][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wait... you had access to VIAs? As a kid? You'd think the tanausans would trust you guys less." *He nods to Orestes.* "Let's start setting this thing up.
[9:31][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Marauder, work crews still putting on the finishing touches.
[9:32][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -looked in and assesed it- That ...the defector's ship
[9:32][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "They destroyed my ship... so I'm taking one of theirs. This is V-487, Viartis class and my mobile base of operations for the Tanausan theatre.
[9:32][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting.
[9:32][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -presses her nose and palms to the glass and coos- OOoo Mommy buy me that for christma
[9:33][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Interesting. Well saves us building a new ship for now. Still working on getting new construction up
[9:34][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*approached the door and nodded to the doorman
[9:34][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "They didn't -let- us have anything. We stole plenty of tech that Tanausans threw out, abandoned or, misplaced.
[9:34][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] Well earned...and will be very usefu
[9:34][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] she still got all her bells and whistles?
[9:34][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Probably stripped all the VI's and isntalled our own
[9:34][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Probably stripped all the VI's and isntalled our own
[9:35][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -smirks at that and nods
[9:35][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Tannie bastards... Well.. if we figure this out, we'll have some huge targets to strike on... and improve your people's chances of having a better life someday soon." *He goes to his computer, 
[9:36][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali gives a smile and a wink to the doorman as they meet him
[9:36][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Setting up the starcharts, the star drift sims and marking off the known Orzaul areas.* "Len, you'll be getting my version of the charts too. Anything you can add to it, I'll be grateful.
[9:36][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Naturally, and there's been some additions and overhauls... but we wanted to make sure that anyone who scanned it would assume it was just another of the thousands of Marauders..
[9:37][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:in the system, at least for long enough for us to leave if need be.
[9:37][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] How are ya on Friend or foe signals? You have to look real close to see its not oneof theirs kidd
[9:38][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "We've got a few wizzes." *She chuckled.* "Some with intimate knowledge of Tanausan systems.
[9:39][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -chuckles- Sweet...sweet..proper payback..I love i
[9:40][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Still, we'll be just one ship, and I'm not going to pretend I can just dance around the Imperium until the end of the war, soaking up intel.
[9:40][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -is stil studying the captured ship/ New prototype as she listens
[9:41][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -nods- Yeah ..that would be nut
[9:42][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[OctaVIA] *She popped up on the screen with a little wave hello to T'Ghor.
[9:42][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hello there. Ready to do some work?
[9:42][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Still should be a good source atleas tutnil they change all the codes
[9:43][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*Aquila lead them into the club looking around at the displays of beryxian artwork and debauchery.
[9:43][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She eyed Liz a moment with that, then nodded to Jax.* "Indeed. And it should give us enough of a window to find where they are keeping what they have been referring to as 'Oblivion's..
[9:43][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Trophy.'
[9:43][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It is a pitty we cannot take them to Rome yet.
[9:43][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I think the Romans would want to adopt them.
[9:44][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] yeah we had no dice on the two leads we were tracking before we had to put back in
[9:44][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -shakesher head- Dramtic naming..but i have a feeling that may be accurat
[9:44][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I don't think I've seen an unattractive Berixian, maybe they just stay at home if they are not stunning.
[9:44][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Indeed. Atleast a few for every household in the old Patrican households.
[9:45][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -to Jax- Playing their cards close to their chest eh? Says alot of its importantce the
[9:45][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Arfacio-- "Do we have any idea what this trophy is?
[9:45][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Perhaps they bred them out.
[9:45][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "It is in the Imperium, of that I'm certain. They wouldn't leave it laying for someone to find. We find it, we take it, we carry it back here.
[9:45][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Yeah also we couldn't be sure the wormholes woudl stick around so it was a couple quick looks
[9:45][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Interesting research line, I wonder if they have genetic engineering programs in their history.
[9:46][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] So we have a quest at hand then
[9:46][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"If it is in the imperium then finding it and carying it back here is a lot harder that it sounds. Unless you have access to a portal.
[9:46][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Could have also simply been sexual selection, there are not that many ugly izarians either.
[9:46][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Wormholes aren't hard to find in this war, especially when you're wearing the coat of the enemy.
[9:46][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali pauses in front of one rather graphic image, bites her lip and then catches back up.* "Possible, but... I haven't looked into it.
[9:47][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he laughed* Let us find place to drink before dance
[9:47][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -nods- That is for sure.
[9:47][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That seems logical.
[9:47][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Well Caelian would never forgive me if i painted her black and red
[9:47][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[OctaVIA] "Yes, sir, I would be honoured to assist you!" *She beamed eagerly.
[9:48][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Great. What we need you to do is look at a few star charts... and tell me if the marked points seem familiar... and if they do, if you can find more of them. Or better yet, if you remember being 
[9:48][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Made in one.
[9:48][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -shudders thinking the complaints Ada would have as well
[9:48][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] But Jaxie Poo..black is beauitfu
[9:48][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[OctaVIA] "I will do this, sir! Please indicate the files!
[9:48][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'm thinking lightly intoxicating, nothing too strong.
[9:49][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"But sending a single ship into enemy territory is not going to win this war...unless this trophy is a weapon of incredible magnitude.
[9:49][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Besides, while we're in the Imperium I'm going to get my hands on one of their wormhole generators. They shouldn't get to have all the fun.
[9:50][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "T'Pang, it's entirely possible that it is.
[9:50][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor marked down the files and gave Orestes a thumbs up.
[9:50][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -smirks at that- give me a lever big enough..
[9:51][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "We should not assume too much. It is work finding and retreiving it befor ethe Imperials do however.
[9:51][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:**worth not wor
[9:51][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "They already have it. They used it to close the Artesia gate in the first place.
[9:52][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] and Lord help them if we snag it bac
[9:52][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Then for that reason alone we must retreive it.
[9:52][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "I'm not just taking their toy away. I'm going to let the rest of the fucking fleet back in to kick their asses six ways to sunday.
[9:52][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -nods- Yes take the fight to them yard for onc
[9:53][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[OctaVIA] *A moment passed, and she informed T'Ghor,* "It doesn't look like anything to me, sir.
[9:53][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded* "Beryxian wine then they are making it with trillberryy
[9:53][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -leans on the glass as she listens
[9:53][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "It's... huh. Never seen that reaction before.
[9:54][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] *smirks* Would be nice to dance with our friends again. And be sure we can get all the civies out
[9:54][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Is that the one with the aphrodesic effect?
[9:54][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Really? That's... what the other VIA I tried it with said too... Wait, you think it may be a programmed response? A way for the tannies to protect the locations?
[9:54][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"What is the alliance end game here? How do we intend to end this war. I suggest the only acceptable outcome is an end to the Imperium.
[9:55][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "True that. Wen knows as well as we do that they can't win if we have the gate open. It's why she was so adament that they close it before they started the invasion.
[9:55][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -to T'Pang- thereare many factionsover there just looking for someone to show them the Imperium is not immorta
[9:55][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"No just good wine.
[9:56][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] Show them the baddies can bleed..ya show em they can di
[9:56][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Not that I mind, can't say it's a rare thing with their beverages.
[9:56][DOIC4]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he flagged down on of the topless waitresses and posted them at a standing table
[9:56][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Liz-- "yes and its about time we started giving more support and aid to those factions.
[9:56][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "I do. Look at these readings, an attempt to access information was made and there was a process that instantly shut it down.
[9:56][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*She pointed to some graphs.
[9:56][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] Its..only logica
[9:57][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] I for one am tired of bullies.
[9:57][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] We do have the inescapble porblem that we are only seemingly fighting the imperium and the chantry. The Azreyane seem to be staying out of things for now. And The choson don't seem to have 
[9:57][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:recovered from your attack T'pang
[9:57][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali keys her PADD to link to the local connection, to include xray on the current entertainment.
[9:58][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] The Zhyx, well their activity has increased but is still similiar to before attacking targets of oppurtunity
[9:58][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He walks over and takes a look, rubbing his chin.* "You said you got experience with this sort of thing... Do you think you can isolate that proccess and shut it off?
[9:58][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] Indeed..this will not end the Apostate threat..but it will remove a player or two from the board
[9:58][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "The Coln have made some moves, and we've detected Zhyx attacks... but you're right. It's just a few of hundreds of Apostate forces.
[9:58][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] Indeed..this will not end the Apostate threat..but it will remove a player or two from the board
[9:58][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:((Xray as in title/artist ect)
[9:58][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[sorry for teh double post :P 
[9:59][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but i am little curious as to why its a measured approach now that we are cut off from reinforcements
[9:59][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"If we have to clear the board one piecce at a time, that is what we do.

[10:20][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] or..enable defectors
[10:20][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Talia-- "that is exactly what we need to do.
[10:20][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Certainly got the fleet for it. Manta on deep range scout, pilgrim on fast response, adagio can board it heavy and caelian can blanket area and make it seem we blew it up

[10:24][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Hey... hold on, let me try to force a restart.
[10:24][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] Make it look like we are towingoneofour own -i in thought- so we may need a staging area here as wel

[10:25][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -nods- Exactly my though
[10:25][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Jax] Its on the far side of the warzone, and surrounded by that nebula plus the kzari got a hell of a engineering operation there since they took it back over

[10:26][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Through the screams TGhor could hear a child's pleading,* "MOMMY, MOMMY, PLEASE DON'T PUT ME IN THE MACHINE!!" *And then he clicked it off.
[10:27][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Yep... that's a migraine..." *She sat down.
[10:29][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Shit... I guess that confirms that.
[10:30][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li closes his eyes, silently saying some Bajoran prayers.
[10:30][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] *He mumbled along with Li.

[10:32][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles as he hears Adrian mumbling.
[10:33][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Only downside is having to stay at Nexus 2," *he chuckled faintly.
[10:34][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Are we bad enough people to torment the soul of a dead child for a possiblity to save lives? Or does that make us no better than the fuckin' tannies?
[10:34][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Talia] -chuckles and shakes her head
[10:35][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "I'd say being a slave to the Tanausans is already torment. They used sentient beings as their fucking operating system... goddess, I've deleted and copied VIAs hundreds of times...
[10:36][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] Maruaders usually fly with Prowler cover...yes
[10:37][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Usually, though a lone Marauder wouldn't be out of place inside their borders.
[10:37][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... I guess it will be a mercy to them when we find them and take them away... or worst case scenario, put an end to their misery." *He sighs, hesitating above the controls.
[10:38][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Wait. We have a partial framework of their original virtual environment... right?
[10:38][DOIC5]Valkriss@Isis:[Liz] -singsong voice- Buuut some prowlers might help the illusion ..yes
[10:38][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She smirked.* "That they would.

[10:39][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We do.. partial, but we do.
[10:41][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Liking music that is playing, Dali kisses Marcus, "I'm going to dance" *she goes out to the floor and dances, intentially to draw his attention.
[10:41][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "What if we... recreated it? Not the whole thing of course, but a lovely playroom for the poor girl... let her remember what she used to be.
[10:41][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A shuttle began to dock.
[10:42][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li tries to peer in using the docking viewer.
[10:42][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's a great idea. Using what we have of their framework... Should not be -too- long a job..." *He starts bringing up the files they snatched from the orzaul columns.
[10:44][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Here, lemme help see what I can do..." *She checked the files as well.
[10:45][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Great, thanks. The more minds we got on this the easier it will be.
[10:46][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was a barely audible combadge chirp above the music.* =/\= "Citadel medical to Doctor Delancey.
[10:47][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*It was definitely a shuttle. It lined up with the airlock.
[10:48][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Definitely a shuttle

[10:49][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*He smiles.
[10:49][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Goddess... this is some sophisticated tech." *She muttered.* "It'll take me some time.

[10:53][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:=/\= "I'm afraid she's been placed in a coma for her own protection. Like many others with her condition, she's prone to inflicting violence on herself. It simply drives them mad.
[10:54][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Will do. Let's see... Start with something simple. Warm, calming colors for the "Walls" will be a good start point.
[10:55][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:=^= "I'm sorry to hear that, but I turned her case over to you, is there something you think I can do for her at this time?
[10:55][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "A nice sky blue? Unless Orzaul blood was blue... then maybe less so...
[10:56][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali stops dancing, and goes back to the table... standing there she takes a sip of her wine, and gives Marcus the hand sign to say she is on comms

[11:01][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The airlock opened. An older female counselor stepped out first, and then...
[11:01][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li gives a polite nod.
[11:01][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "MAMA!!!!" *He broke free of Li and went barreling over to be caught up in the embrace of a now short-haired Jill.
[11:02][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali doesn't bother changing, going to lift to the medical ward in her white Gogo boots skirt and wrap blouse.
[11:02][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods and programs away.
[11:02][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li beams as he hears Adrian squeal.
[11:03][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Definitely an activity table. One of those with a little patch where you can put construction blocks on. Kids love that...
[11:03][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] *She picked up the hujoran, giving a soft grunt as she did so.* "You're heavy, have you been eating only choblit?
[11:03][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Yes!" *He immediately tattled.
[11:03][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rolls his eyes.* You're supposed to say no
[11:04][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A young Bajoran woman in a doctor's uniform arrived to greet Dali as she got there.* "Doctor. Again, I'm sorry for pulling you from your shore leave. We've just hit a brick wall here.
[11:06][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'm not sure if I can help, but I will try. Do you have a betazoid or other telepath on staff to monitor her as well?
[11:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] *She kissed Adrian's forehead gently.* "Must be why you're so sweet," *she murmured to him, then looked at Li with a simple,* "Hello.
[11:06][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li smiles and walks over to her, embracing them both in a hug.
[11:07][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Reptile decals on the wall... I always wanted them..." *she muttered.
[11:08][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali grabs a lab coat to cover up her possibly NSFW top, and goes to the terminal she is given for examination.
[11:08][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:It's been...a long time since we could do this
[11:08][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Doctor] "We do, yes. They've reported not being able to reach their minds, they've complained of barriers.
[11:09][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes... Plushies. Definitely plushies. And a lot of pillows and blankets. Items of comfort.
[11:09][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Barriers? That is new..." *she checks her logs for what was said before about them when the telepaths felt them closing off.
[11:09][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] *She kept her arms around Adrian, giving a slight nod.* "Yes." *She then looked at Adrian and brightened up again.* "I bet you've learned all sorts of things while I was gone... want to..
[11:09][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:show me?
[11:12][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Doctor] "Whatever it is, their minds cannot be accessed by other telepaths any more than they can access other minds. They've been completely shut off.
[11:13][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We've been working on him walking, amongst other things
[11:13][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Adrian] "Yah!" *He held up some fingers.* "I'm this many old.
[11:13][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*She brings up the scans and starts comparing them from earlier scans.
[11:15][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:He can say more words and speak more clearly now
[11:17][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor stops working for a moment and gets everyone a tray of coffees from the replicator before sitting down, loudly slurping on his cappucino.
[11:18][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:'Eirene, can you help me to locate nizerian DNA records in your database... something ... from the old alliance days or older.
[11:19][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] "Good," *She said simply.* "You keep him at the same quarters?
[11:19][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.* Azacri has been caring for him
[11:19][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:But the same quarters you and I used
[11:19][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "You're in luck, dear, I happen to have one file on record from the last Alliance.
[11:20][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Working theory, their extreme telepathy was as a result of DNA manipulation, as would the dead man's switch to destroy it. It may be possible to help them to revert to an earlier DNA profile.
[11:21][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] "I should have expected," *she replied and started to head for the lift.
[11:21][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li follows.* What do you mean
[11:21][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I suspect the telepathy will not be anything as strong, but it might make them functional individuals again... a method like we used with the scrythi, a gene therapy.
[11:22][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali starts programming in a simulation of the patients, using a cross reference of the multiple patients to isolate the necessary genes and comparing them to the old sample
[11:22][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Doctor] "Or we could find what method they used to trigger the switch, perhaps reverse it without destroying their telepathic ability?
[11:23][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Thank you Eirene, helpful as always. Feel free to manifest and dance with Marcus, at least tell him I probably won't be home tonight.
[11:24][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] *She chuckled.* "I'll pass it along.
[11:24][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*to the doctor* "Both are possible, but until we evaluate what the change itself was, I won't be able to tell what we can and cannot do.
[11:25][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] "Him being so well-spoken, I should have expected it was her and not you." *She smirked.
[11:25][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Doctor] "Of course.
[11:26][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li chuckles.* Well, she has also helped with his...telepathic abilities
[11:27][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia is going over the data carefully, isolating and mapping the genes. She will compare to established data from both eras, then running simulations to try to find adult growth patterns i

[11:28][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:simulation is grown from infant.
[11:29][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li frowns.* Is there something wrong
[11:30][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] "I don't want to talk about -telepathy- right now," *she growled.
[11:30][DOIC6]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li nods.* Okay...that makes sense. Sorry
[11:32][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"re-establishing their telepathy at full strength may not be possible, because of the punishment that is encoded if they turn on their masters. I need to figure out if that is genetic, pschosomatic
[11:32][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:or as a result of some telepathic connection with the dark itself.
[11:33][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*while letting the simulation run, she starts going over the reports from the telepaths for clues as well.
[11:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, I think I'm all out of ideas for a child's playroom." *He says, looking over what they added.
[11:34][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, I think I'm all out of ideas for a child's playroom." *He says, looking over what they added.
[11:38][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Me too, but the cosmetics are one thing. Gotta patch up every hole.
[11:39][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods.* "Let's keep at it. We owe the VIA that much...
[11:39][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia goes back to the simulation, and introduces a sim of retrovirus for gene therapy to remove the receptor. She accellerates the life cycle looking for impacts biologically.
[11:41][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The simulation runs for a bit before coming up with a 55% chance of recovery, the other 45% predicting a rise in brain aneurysms.
[11:41][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Shit. I really don't enjoy those odds.
[11:41][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(shit wrong channel sorry
[11:42][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The simulation runs for a bit before coming up with a 55% chance of recovery, the other 45% predicting a rise in brain aneurysms.
[11:43][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Not numbers I like... " *she runs simulations on surgical bypass through implantation of grafted arteries to supply blood to the effected portion of the brain.
[11:43][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:(No worries
[11:46][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Okay... I should have the holes plugged, and the room's going to be tiny... but it'll be better than what she has.
[11:47][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "We can work on expanding it once she's online.
[11:47][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods.* "Agreed. It's much better than where she is now. Ready to switch her on?
[11:49][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Let's do it.
[11:49][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods and goes to swtich the VIA on.
[11:50][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali forwards her current theories and simulation results to the Ward 9 physicians with caveat that she will continue to refine the gene therapy concept looking for better results for later patients
[11:51][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "She's in the framework... she's..." *Sey frowned.* "I don't know what scared looks like in code, but I have a feeling this is it.
[11:54][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Think you can create one of us in there? We don't have to look like ourselves but... whatever kids love. Funny fuzzy talking dog or something?
[11:54][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If we can talk to her, it may help calm her down.
[11:55][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Just what every kid wants, a cartoon animal to tell them they're in a simulation," *she laughed.
[11:55][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Eirene, please transfer these files to an encrypted database on the Pilgrim. I'll keep working on this after we are on the move.
[11:57][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eirene] "Will do!
[11:57][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Laugh.* "Not one that would say she's in a simulation... Thing is, we don't know what orzaul looked like, we can't make one.
[11:57][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"But we gotta find some way to calm her down.
[11:57][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "I know, I know... let me try this... funny frog man.
[11:58][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Sure, the floor is yours.
[11:59][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "And to make it easier for you plebs..." *One of the screens changed to show a little playroom with a crying OctaVIA as a silly frog loomed over her.
[12:00][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali gets a chai latte, then goes to physically see the patients, winding down mentally, she reminds herself of the actual patients, and not just research puzzle to work through.
[12:01][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "...I'm not good at comforting people, you do it." *She nodded to T'Ghor.
[12:02][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor looks to her.* "I'm klingon, we think punching something is comfort... but fine." *He cleared his throat and then spoke in his friendliest voice, trying to keep it high-pitched and silly 
[12:02][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Frog-like.* "Why, hello there! Why are you crying?
[12:04][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[OctaVIA] "EEEEEEEEEP!" *She shrieked, looking at T'Ghor the Frog.* "I don't... I can't... my brain... my thoughts..." *She started to wail.* "IT DOESN'T... I CAN'T... STOP IT!
[12:05][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Goddess. She's accessing too many memories to handle even with her processing speed.
[12:06][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor gives the others a worried look.* "Should we shut the sim off?" *He took control of the frog, making it kneel down and pat her shoulder, hushing.* "There, there. You're not alone, I'm here. 
[12:06][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We'll make it better, together.
[12:06][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "No... I think she'll just have to do it all over again if we interrupt it.
[12:08][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right. I'll keep working best I can." *He switched over to the frog again.* "Can you tell me your name? I'm Toady.
[12:09][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[OctaVIA] "They... they... they..." *She repeated it several more times before she seemed to register Toady again.* "I am VIA... VIA... VIA.... Allaya... VIA...
[12:11][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, hello, Allaya. I'm here to listen to you. Whatever's got you down, you can share. And I promise, nobody will know, or hurt you, as long as I am here.
[12:12][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "...Hurt you... hurt you..." *She looked up at him.* "They... hurt me..." *she said in a tiny voice.
[12:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...Fucking Tanausans." *She got up and had to pace around the room.
[12:14][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm sorry. But you're safe now! You're with me, yes? And Toady won't let anything bad happen to you." *He held out his big stupid frog arms for a hug.* "Can you trust me?
[12:15][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "Safe..." *She seemed to take in the little room for the first time.
[12:17][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes! That's what this room is! It can be your safe place. Nothing bad, just all the toys and fun things you can think of." *T'ghor controlled the frog, grabbing a little pig plushie and giving it a 
[12:17][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Squeeze, causing it to emit a few giggling snorts.* "See? All safe.
[12:18][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "...I think... I want... to be safe." *She took the pige.
[12:19][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, Allaya, this is just the place for it." *Toady draped one of the big blankets around her shoulders.* "I am here to be your friend. Every child needs a Toady.
[12:20][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor looked to the others.* "Keep me updated on her mind's readings. I wanna know if she calms down or if she starts spiking again.
[12:20][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Allaya] "And you won't leave me alone... in the long, long dark?" *she whispered.
[12:20][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] *She nodded, eyed fused to the screen.* "Aye... how could we have missed this right below the surface...
[12:22][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Toady] "Absolutely not. I'm here as long as you want me to be." *The frog nodded, plopping down on the ground atop one of the big pillows.
[12:22][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor nodded thoughtfully at Sey.* "We need to let the big guys up top know about this. And we need to make sure Toady gets some actual programming to stay with her.
[12:23][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*On the screen, they could see the digital girl cuddling up to her digital frogge in her digital playroom.
[12:24][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Damn right. Can you imagine if the entire Imperial network underwent the same moment of clarity that girl just did?
[12:24][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Len] "...You could take out every connected system simultaneously.
[12:24][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I don't think it's healthy for her to push her for more info tonight. I think we should just let her get used to her new situation." *He then nodded.* "Fuckin' hell. If all their VIAs refuse to 
[12:24][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Cooperate..." *He nods at Len.* "Exactly.
[12:25][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "And they won't have the same reaction we did... it could be down for weeks or months.
[12:26][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Me and Orestes will probably be dragged off to the front again soon. Do you two think you can keep working this and keep Allaya safe? I'll make sure Toady gets some programming before I leave so 
[12:27][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That he's more or less autonomous, and I'll let Dr. Rendino and the others know what's happening... But I'd appreciate if you can keep me updated while I'm away.
[12:28][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "Consider it done... penance for all the VIAs I reformatted over the years." *She sighed.
[12:28][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You could not have known. None of us could have. Shit, I hope the VIA Eren and I trapped is doing well.
[12:29][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sey] "I do, too. Good night, Lieutenant.
[12:29][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Good night. You all get some rest, I have reports and programmign to deal with." *He sat back down behind the computer.*
