[6:03][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme is replaced by the arc theme once more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-6FyeyeGMM *
[6:03][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Talon presses onward through a dreamy haze of stardust cast in sunset orange, using Sor’s Nebula as its temporary shroud as they move ever closer to their target. As the autumn-shaded..
[6:04][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:gasses swirl around the sleek black vessel like a stellar sandstorm we fade into the interior to see a group of Latejo engineers murmuring among themselves until Corundi shoos them back off to..
[6:04][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:work. Just then a Simirian engineer trips and falls horns-first into the wall, knocking themselves out cold as the chief engineer just groans and calls for a medic. We fade then to the cargo bay..
[6:05][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:where T’Ghor, Elise, and the Latejo Gavak are inspecting the ancient Nymati laser sword they’d recovered, the intricately forged hilt massive enough without the blade activated that even the..
[6:05][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:klingon had to use both hands to hold it. From there we fade over to T’Pang as she gazes outward at what lies before them, giving her log…*
[6:08][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Supplemental Since we entered the Sor nebula we have lost sight of the Stalker that was following us. That was expected. The question is, have they lost sight of us
[6:10][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:The telepaths inform me of a presence they feel. A powerful and and seemingly predatory mind. Is Nirizeans on the Stalker they are sensing or something else? I suppose we will find out.
[6:12][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Then thee is the troubling reports from my chief of security, he reports sensing 'ghosts' in this nebula, that as he put it 'hunder for the warmth of life.'. A report that does invoke a certai
[6:14][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:amount of concern. i myself have been hearing voices. Voices that sound like Ryle. But, I can only assume that is an attempt at deception
[6:16][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:i can not say what if any threat these 'ghosts' present. But, add to that the stated reason for the Imperial travel advisory of this region, the spacetime anomalies. We can not turn back however w
[6:18][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:must press forward. We will remain alert and traverse the nebula as quickly as possible. in hopes that will allow us to avoid any unpleasant situations
[6:19][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:One other note from our recently aquired veracysium 'fossil', the recoved logs have shed some light on the mysterious origins of the Latejo. And, interestingly enough it seems to indicate th
[6:21][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:existence of another Artesia type gateway. I am uncertain how important this information is, but it is interesting. Sertainly a worthwhile research project for some scienctist. End Lo
[6:23][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang closes out the log recorder and sets it aside.-
[6:23][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor looked to Elise as he held the sword up.* "So, yes, this is what I called you about. I want to see if these can be reproduced. It would be a huge thing for the latejo's morale, I believe." 
[6:23][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He turned and struck against the training dummy to show off the power of the sword.
[6:24][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-sets her jaw some and eyes Gavin a little as she says- I am unccertain that vould vork. It is a very powerful und complex veapon...Testing ist ongoing..Gavin vas able to help me strablize for such t
[6:25][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Use care vhen using..this ist a personal veapon of honor for his peopl
[6:25][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:0takes another measurement as he strikes the dummy
[6:25][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-shows it to Gavin as she does so
[6:26][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Even if it wasn't a particularly elegant strike, the blade still sliced neatly into the target like a hot knife through butter.
[6:26][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] *The Latejo engineer nodded in approval, arms crossed as he watched the sword intently.
[6:26][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was a chime.
[6:26][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-looks at the gash as it smolders- Hmm -measures the wound inflicted
[6:27][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Have you tired to do more than slash
[6:27][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang looke toward the door-- "Enter
[6:27][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *The horned woman stepped inside, holding a PADD.* "Holding up, Captain?
[6:28][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Let us see..." *He went for a stabbing strike into the dummy.
[6:28][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Roll
[6:28][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-runs her scans as he does so
[6:28][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-ducks
[6:28][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am not sure i understand the question.
[6:29][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*T'Ghor was a bit too eager with it, or perhaps he was simply just getting used to the strange weight of the laser sword, but hs stabbed just to the side of the dummy, wounding nothing but his..
[6:29][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Klingon pride.
[6:29][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-smirks and looks at hi following the miss
[6:29][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "...How are you, Captain. Are you getting enough sleep?" *She frowned slightly in concern.
[6:30][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Snarled at Elise.* "Don't give me that look. I have only trained with bat'leths and mek'leth, this is a completely different animal.
[6:31][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am doing well, although I have to admit i may not be getting enough sleep.
[6:31][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-nodnods with a sympathetic amusement- Okay..peerhaps try to stick the pointy end into the dummy this time ? -offers helpfully
[6:32][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Well, if we stay on course we should be arriving at our destination in about a day and a half. You should get what rest you can, while you can.
[6:32][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor seethed, giving the dummy an angry klingon headbutt as he turned around.
[6:32][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-sighs dramtically and playfully- ..I mean the pointy end of the /sword
[6:33][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] *He eyed T'Ghor.* "Calm down, would you? You're not the first warrior to miss a thrust.
[6:33][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"unfortunately this place..this ship, is not at all conducive to a restful sleep.
[6:33][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Often many a man wvillmiss vith a thrus
[6:33][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "No, I suppose not, given what you endured aboard here. Have you spoken to the doctor? Maybe she can give you something.
[6:33][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Roll T'Pang
[6:34][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i was hoping to avoid that. I was hoping through sufficient meditation i could overcome the problem.
[6:34][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to the latejo, then rolled his eyes at Elise.* "Lucky for me, I am more accurate with the meat sword than the laser one." *He went for another stab.
[6:35][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-nods- I vould hope so...given your accuracy vith the sta
[6:35][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The sword sank right into the dummy's chest, little arcs of energy rapidly consuming the material around it as the target was cooked from within.
[6:36][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ancestors below... If this thing goes past your armor, you are as good as dead!
[6:36][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-scans the dummy and nods- Impressive...a stab may be a swift yet painful death...this much energy should boils your organs ava
[6:36][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] "Probably why the Imperials didn't want us to keep them," *he growled.
[6:37][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-nods- Ja imagine how silly the veapon vould be if a stab did not kill anyon
[6:37][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"anyway its nothing to be concerned about. I feel just fine. I am not having any ill effects.
[6:37][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She nodded.* "Still, try and get some rest. I doubt it's going to get any easier when we leave the nebula.
[6:37][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He ignored Elise and nodded to Gavak.* "Yes... It is effective, and seemingly highly important to your people's old culture.
[6:38][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Which is why I hope we can uncover the secret to crafting them once more.
[6:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[San] =/\= "Bridge to Captain T'Pang!
[6:38][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Ve shall..the basic principles seem sound enoug
[6:38][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=^=Capttain T'Pang here, go ahead.=^

[6:39][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They took their swords, their culture, their names...
[6:39][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Indee
[6:40][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She looked at T'pang.* "That means imminent hull failure and request for evacuation, ma'am
[6:40][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=^=How far off our current course is it.=^
[6:40][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He pressed the button to shut the sword off and held it out to Gavak.* "Try it. See how it feels.
[6:41][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-adjusts her scanner for Gavin to weild it now
[6:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[San] =/\= "Ten minutes out if we detour now, ma'am!
[6:41][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=^=Any indication any other vessels are responding?=^
[6:42][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] *He approached slowly, reaching out reverently to the sword as though he were the faithful being offered a touch of a holy relic.
[6:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[San] =/\= "None, Captain!
[6:42][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-allows him to take whatever time he needs as she waits to take a measurement
[6:42][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"this is problematic.
[6:43][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "There aren't going to be many ships out here in the nebula, ma'am.
[6:43][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He put it in Gavak's hand, then stepped back, letting him have his moment and standing next to Elise.* "You make any stupid comments this time around, I'm gagging you.
[6:43][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Try it Science und I shall just knee cap yo
[6:43][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "But I should point out the obvious... that this could be a trap set by that other Stalker that was sniffing around us.
[6:44][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Kzari traditions dates back to vhen your people still crawled in the much of your swamp
[6:44][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I could be a trap, but even if it isn't it poses a whole host of headaches for us.
[6:44][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] *He gripped the blade with both hands, and the gleaming violet gem on the end began to darken somewhat. He raised a brow.* "Well, that was unexpected.
[6:45][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"But, i am duty bound to answer a dsitress call.
[6:45][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Weren't you still licking your paws to wash yourself back then?
[6:45][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He then nodded to Gavak.* "Interesting. Try striking like this, you may have activated a different mode.
[6:45][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:0nods- Extremely -keeps taking measurements
[6:45][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'll take that as a yes. I'll remember to bring you a ball of yarn for your birthday." *He grinned.
[6:46][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-to T'Ghor- Nein ve vere flying in starships und fighting back the dark..when your source of meals vas picking felas off of your mate's nappy hai
[6:46][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "If that's your call, Captain. But every moment we delay... well, I'm sure you already know.
[6:46][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:fleas
[6:47][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-maintains wathc on gavin to iensure the sword power doesnt reach a dangerous level
[6:47][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=^=Bridge take us to alert status and have helm adjust course to intercept the source of that signal.=^
[6:47][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And you have been doing the same for how many years now, while we're now in a different galaxy helping you with your mess." *He grinned.
[6:47][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she stands up and adjusts her uniform-
[6:48][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*looks up from the borrowed science station* "Interesting.
[6:48][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-smirked- There isnt a galaxy for you to fvist because of u
[6:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it can be difficult being the good guys sometimes.
[6:48][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] *He raised the hilt and touched the little activator button. When the blade emerged, this time it was a deep purple shade, crackling with little white arcs of electricity, not dissimilar..
[6:48][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Othervise you would be a small providence int he Tanausan Imperiu
[6:48][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:from the Latejo themselves.
[6:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she headed for the bridge.-
[6:48][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-smiles as she watches Gacvin weild the blade
[6:49][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Or..lobotimized crew for the Chantry sisters -chuckles
[6:49][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Does it react differently to Latejo, or to different individuals... Smart-ass here should try it once you are done, I want to see that.
[6:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang enters the bridge and heads for the command chair-
[6:49][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-chuckles- the svord is as big as m
[6:50][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia is running secodary analysis on sensor data looking for something to explain the upticks in complaints.
[6:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i want to get eyes on this civilian craft as soon as possible.
[6:50][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] *He was about to fall upon the target when the lights shifted and they wee brought to alert. He gave a little snarl.
[6:50][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Just put your hands on it and turn it on, you don't have to strike. It's just a way of testing what makes it change color.
[6:50][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*were )
[6:50][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, motherfucker.
[6:50][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-looks up- An alert
[6:50][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-to gavin-= ve can test more late
[6:51][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] "...Indeed." *He deactivated the blade reluctantly.
[6:51][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-begons t colelct her things
[6:51][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They better have a good fucking reason to cut this short." *He seethed and turned to Gavak.* "Please, put it in containment for now.
[6:51][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] *he went to deal with the sword.
[6:51][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-to Gavin- Looks good in your hands Gavin -trots out
[6:51][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He grumbled and made his way to the turbolift.
[6:51][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Gavin is a human name.
[6:51][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-ewnters thelift with him
[6:51][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gavak] "Gavak," *he corrected as they left.
[6:52][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:Ist it> Gavak seems better then./.mor eifttin
[6:52][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Gavin is what you'd name someone you're certain will grow up alcoholic." *He took the lift up.
[6:52][DOIC4]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *floats in isolation in the dark room she had sequestered herself wihtin
[6:53][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-to T'Ghor as the lift goes up- Perhaps...run synch sensors sweep ja once on station
[6:53][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Of course.
[6:53][DOIC3]Elise@Isis:-nods and heads out as the lift arrives- lets go to wor
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] *She returned and kicked her simirian replacement out of the pilot's chair.* "Adjusting course.
[6:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Walked up to his console and got on the sensors.
[6:54][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-trotted over to her console nd drops her bag and secures it, running her scan
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--as the new people enter-- "We intercepted a possible distress call from a civilian ship. I could be a trap set by that Stalker.
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Sensor people roll
[6:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"But, the call indicated the situation was dire and there is unlikily any help nearby. As a Starfleet officer i can not ignore their call for help.
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[San] *She nodded in agreement.
[6:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks over to see who is at the security station.-
[6:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Krinn] *She was there.
[6:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We got what I Think may be a warp containment failure...
[6:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Which means a big damn boom may be imminent.
[7:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "That could ignite the whole damned nebula.
[7:00][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*aquila] *Returns to the brdige
[7:00][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Not something we want to be near for certain.
[7:00][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] No sign of sabotage, the malfunction in the cloak was incompetence not malice it would seem
[7:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lieutenant Krinn as approach let me know if anything seems off. And, we are likily going to need to evacuate these people. So we will need somewhere to contain them.
[7:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Krinn] "...Aye, captain, if you're sure...
[7:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] What is going on captain
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We are responding to a distress call Mister Aquila, a civilian craft sent out a general dsitress call.
[7:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Alert code 53-22, imminent hull failure and request for immediate evacuation.
[7:02][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I doubt it would be a priority for the forces in local sector.
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Ain-
[7:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It wouldn't be a priority for anyone, no one goes in this nebula if they can help it.
[7:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think we should contain the warp breach if we can, but then leave them to fend for themselves.
[7:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We don't want to risk bringing unneccessary tanausans on board.
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that would be ideal lieutenant.
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"when we arrive on scene we will need to assess the situation quickly.
[7:04][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] *aquila pondered
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to T'Pang.
[7:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She glanced at Aquila briefly.
[7:05][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Captian if I may, a civilian ship would be far less scrutinized than we are in moving around
[7:05][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] This is perhaps an oppurtunity to gain a better cover one we can follow while cloaked
[7:05][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Once that is corrected
[7:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Coming into range...
[7:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Aquila-- "that is an interesting suggestion.
[7:06][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] We should consider saving the crew then determinign their lov eitf any for the Imperium
[7:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That would also mean putting them at risk.
[7:07][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"They are at risk already.
[7:07][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Irregular forces are always recruited from civilians
[7:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets deal with the immediate problem,
[7:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fine, risk -we- put them into.
[7:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hiding behind civilians is cowardly.
[7:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It is what the tanausans themselves do.
[7:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Lieutenant T'Ghor i need some scans of the civilian craft.
[7:08][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The stellar dusts roll away as they move in closer, showing a small civilian craft, clearly a transport, with plumes of exhaust emitting from its vents. *
[7:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...My scanners have been working the whole time. I will let you know when I have somethig new, captain.
[7:08][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] That assumes we cannot simply drop them off somewhere in exchange for the the ship
[7:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"patch in engineering to get their assessment of the craft.
[7:08][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] there is also a reason the klingons have not won a war in over a century
[7:09][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-snerks
[7:09][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] Without outside forces intervening in one way or another
[7:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Against the Imperium, no one is considered a civilian.
[7:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Those scanning the ship, roll
[7:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Scoffed at Aquila's words.
[7:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Warp drive is fucked, and fucked hard. We -can- fix it, but it has to be very fast.
[7:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How much time do we have lieutenant?
[7:12][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Focusing on the life signs, she will keep trying to get better resolution.
[7:12][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Aquila] how many aboard doctor
[7:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I would say about five minutes tops, but engineerign would be able to give you a better estimate, Captain.
[7:12][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-begins to look for the Stalker
[7:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:=^= "T'Ghor to engineering, how much time do we got if we wanna fix that core and not get melted?
[7:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How many life signs are we dealing with?
[7:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Should I attempt to hail?
[7:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He shot his data dwon to the engineers.
[7:14][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Undetermined, there is a lot of interferance from their systems failures and the nebula.
[7:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes, keep it brief and don't provide any details about us beyond that we are in an imperial stalker.
[7:14][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Corundi] =/\= "What the FUCK. Are you crazy?? We'd have mere MINUTES!
[7:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Tell them to prepare to be bemed out.
[7:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They said "What the fuck, are you crazy, we'd have mere minutes.
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:**beame
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:=^= "Yes, thank you, engineering.
[7:15][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Ja they heard that back in your galaxy scienc
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"thank you lieutenant.
[7:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Had to repeat for those in the back.
[7:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How many people are we dealing with here?
[7:16][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-looks up at the ceiling at that
[7:17][DOIC4]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] *opened her eyes silver* No...
[7:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "The doctor already said she doesn't know, captain!" *she snapped.
[7:18][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"As we get closer resolution should be better.
[7:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we can not beam these people out if we can not even lock onto them.
[7:18][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"unfortunately, not starfleet sensors.
[7:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How close do we need to get?
[7:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Sighed and tried to see if he can't clear up Dahlia's picture from his station.
[7:18][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Vhy not eject the core
[7:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'll see if I can break the doctor through the nebula interference at least so she only has to deal with their systems being fucked.
[7:19][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Without any further warning a shape came out of the mists, immediately swooping in upon the Talon with weapons already firing! *
[7:19][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-tried to fire to intercept any incoming warheads in point defense

[7:21][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-accepts what she can and factors in what sheis able as she fires
[7:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"is this the Stalker that was following us, or a different one?

[7:25][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Just before the Stalker appeared Elise would feel a sudden and overwhelming urge to throw up their shields, just in time for the initial strike that soundly rocked their ship! *
[7:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Ah, looks like they want to play! Let's play, then!
[7:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor did the classic star trek stumbling about the bridge, then got on his console again to keep up his attempts to mess with the Stalker's targeting systems, letting out a stinky particle cloud.

[7:30][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Yes Captain, that is the stalker that we encountered before, and there are 7 lifesigns on the civilian ship.
[7:31][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Talon and the other stalker began their duel. T'Ghor's particle burst was a bit less effective considering they were in a nebula, but did seem to at least slow them a little while Elise..

[7:37][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Talon tumbled through the nebula as Tamin took them sharply to starboard to make a pass over the ship as the Stalker continued to pursue, firing on them.
[7:38][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Weaps, I will be sending my VIAs after their engine systems. If they lose their speed here, they have lost the whole battle, with how their targeting is.

[8:39][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Inara] I imagine it is the same entity. Or atleast the entity behind it
