Manta 2023/03/03

[6:06][DOIC]T'lena@Captain_Rien:**Star Trek: Manta Title card shows, as the camera pans past the engineers working on her tearing out all faulty power relays and replacing them as well as fixing any external damage from the Coln.
[6:08][DOIC]T'lena@Captain_Rien:As we fly out of the manta's window the camera pans to the USS Mjolnir and in through the windows to the mess hall where much of the Manta's crew is gathered in formal civilian wear. Mingling with 
[6:09][DOIC]T'lena@Captain_Rien:officers and crew of the host ship. Among which are the Andorian first Officer Commander Kala, who was wearing a very un andorian roman designed evening dress as she sat across from ensign zhal.
[6:10][DOIC]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*Bore sat across from the Mjolnir's chief science officer Melody Bishop> while shay looked at the current pilot of the Mjolnir Lt Kenneth Powers in a more traditional suit> at the head of the table
[6:12][DOIC]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Sat Captain Marcus Antonious Maximus Aquila, in a roman style purple dress garmint modernized for starship duty, and beside him was a Stunning Blonde woman who did not look older than her early 40s 
[6:13][DOIC]T'lena@Captain_Rien:she was in a red gown and while standing stood nearly 182cm tall. As she stood to speak V'tira and a brunett woman came rushing in to get to their seats..
[6:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Welcome good crew of the Manta, and most of you former crew of the protector of whcih this ship knows well. I am Julia Antonia Prima, and this might be dearest husbands ship, but this is My 
[6:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:domain so there shall be no adherence to proper rank and place. Please, after meal break and converse. Absent thought to tongue or proper sobreity
[6:15][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*julia was holding a bottle of bore's moonshine
[6:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Your Chief Engineer brought gift and is roman custom it is accepted. though i don't think it would pair well with the dinner
[6:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It doesn't usually pair well with staying alive, either, that's what makes it good," *he muttered under his breath.
[6:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Now please be seated sicne Kera and V'tira finally graced with prescence a mere, five minutes late. Must have been an interesting message on ACCI
[6:17][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *sat
[6:17][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Nods some to her words with a smile and sits.
[6:17][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*followed by everyone else on the mjolnir's crew
[6:17][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Technically... it works great with salads and cold cut meats." *He said quietly.* "Or heavier pork.
[6:17][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*smiling, Shay is looking back and forth, not having experience of a formal dinner before, se is fascinated
[6:18][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Mutters under his breath* "I should have brought the wine...
[6:18][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Well if had known that we'd be eatign like my Rhineland ancestors. But unfortuantely hunting the pork would have proved rather difficult, and unintentionally flattering to the tellarites
[6:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri sits, she doesn't look at all out of place in this setting. She seems to know her way around a formal dinner.-
[6:18][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*a large tellarite at the end of hte table laughed heartily
[6:19][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] *chuckles* You liked that one Tajjen
[6:19][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"as I understand, the pork is very similar to klingon targ, but less gamey.
[6:19][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Chief Tajjen] Yes. She insinuated i couldn't run away
[6:19][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore grinned at the tellarite's laughter, and looked to Blaine.* "I understand late congratulations are in order from me?
[6:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*holo servers seemed to bring and set down a host of starters on the table moslty in the earth and some other andorians style
[6:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*as well as filling their wine cups
[6:20][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus looked a bit like a deer in headlights still. When Bore spoke he had to blink a moment, then said,* "Think you already sent your congratulations, Ristovski.
[6:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] So your Shay right
[6:21][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Well, good, you received 'em then.' *He laughed and raised his wine glass to Blaine.* "Just remember us li'l guys.
[6:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] I remember seeign you back on nexus
[6:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri takes a sip of the wine before picking up her salad fork and testing the salad.-
[6:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena sipped the water as a blonde woman in a purple dress sat down accross from her
[6:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"How can I when you won't let me?" *He smirked back at Bore.
[6:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Don't worry doctor
[6:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena tasted the wine
[6:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*then smiled
[6:22][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Damn right." *He toasted Blaine again and took a sip of his wine.
[6:22][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*drank to blaine a sip
[6:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Have you been doign well Ezri
[6:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Exactly how.. messed up will what you brought make people? *she addressed bore.
[6:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri thinks about that question longer than a normal person would.-- "Why what have you heard?
[6:23][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Depends on how well they hold their booze. This is a lighter one, 46 proof.
[6:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] I'm the VICI, everything. But nothing from you
[6:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] *she smiled at Ezri
[6:23][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Took the wine glass and sniffed before putting the glass to his lips and taking a sip.
[6:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Then I guess I am doing good.
[6:25][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Swirled the wine acorss his pallet and gave a nod.
[6:25][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"VICI? Really." *she smiled at her, looking with a tilted expression of fasctination.
[6:25][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] might kill me
[6:25][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I make it the old ways, distill it from fermented fruit, in this case, kzari winter plums. Getting the fermentation proccess right is the difficult part, really.
[6:26][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Just take small sips and make sure to have some food to soak it up and you'll be fine.
[6:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Yes Ms Daly, *she sipped her own cup of wine
[6:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Like the wine, I'm sorry I don't know your name
[6:26][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He downed his wine, fidgeting with his collar again.
[6:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena leaned over to marcus
[6:26][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I cannot attest to paletability, but I can attest that beyond the alcoholic content, Mister Ristovski's concoction is not poisonous.
[6:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"There aren't any pips there.
[6:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she whispered
[6:27][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Doesn't mean they don't still itch," *he muttered back.
[6:27][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"It is a distantly familar taste." *He smiled.* "Alerio Zhal, and you are?
[6:27][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Chokes back a laugh and nods to Shay.* "Thank you.
[6:27][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] I am Commander Kala, first officer here, but tongiht I'm just Kala, Andorian
[6:28][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"So, I didn't catch your name. I'm Bore Ristovski, these guys' chief engineer.
[6:28][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Most call me Zhal, a few Z. Ensign, and pilot for the Manta.
[6:29][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Melody Bishop the Chief science officer on a ship that doesn't do much science besides targeting solution
[6:29][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] A trill with one name means they have alot of stories
[6:29][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Hell. I'm still not convinced this whole thing isn't a Nosferatu mind trap and I'm really laying on the bridge floor getting my brain matter sucked out with a long straw.
[6:30][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Ms tegan I rather liked your maneuver to take out the sun with a wormhole
[6:30][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Well, I can't say if you got lucky or not. We get exploded on the regular so I get a lot of practice. Which I guess is a good thing since I went from Ensign to chief in three years...
[6:30][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*the legatus nodded to ezri in approval.
[6:30][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Hears the Legate and gives him a terrified look.
[6:30][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Chuckles.* "True, two life times have many stories. Some better than others.
[6:31][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] I know that feelign when i came aboard i was pretty far down the ladder as well
[6:31][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Are they always
[6:31][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Saiv Daly" *she introduces herself to the officer across from her* "though most just know me by my middle name, Se', (Shay).
[6:31][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"This is my first posting. Well. Uh. Not my first posting. Third posting. But it's always the same crew, we just changed ships.
[6:31][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Well shay if i get drunk and my chicago irish starts coming out I apologize
[6:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah, It was one of my favorite experiences.
[6:32][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"First it was the USS protector, then an old kzari beater we got to replace it... I'd just touched it up -just- right... and prevented a bomb going off on it... and our previous CO decided to use it 
[6:32][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"As a suicide bomb.
[6:33][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"Depends on the experiences, Archeologist and Professor, Chef, each life had its ups and downs, and what about you Kala? What is your story?
[6:33][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"It wasn't really suicide more like... ship was a torpedo
[6:33][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"It was suicide to the ship!
[6:33][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Ah yes the Zhaixe maneuver
[6:34][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I admired her guts in doing it as an officer, but as an engineer, I hated her completely.
[6:34][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] It was a war ship, she went out in war
[6:34][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] And her crew lived
[6:34][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] I'd say it was a noble sacrifice
[6:34][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"She probably wanted to leave most of us on it when she abandoned ship, too," *he muttered and drank more.
[6:34][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"No need, *she says quietly to him as she turned her attention to Sif
[6:34][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, but you know... you grow attached to a ship. It's like an old project personal shuttle that you keep in your garage for ages and fix up.
[6:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it was a warriors death.
[6:35][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We got it as a rustbucket with varmint on it and turned it into a proper ship.
[6:35][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] I am an andorian that weaponized her temper into a career in starfleet where i get to command a warship at times to take out my anger on some assholes
[6:35][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] And i like to ice sculpt
[6:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i like to make snowmen.
[6:36][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"They did the same thing with the Argentina, too. Not close to a rust bucket but most of it..." *He just trailed off.
[6:36][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*He raised his glass to her.* "To taking out your anger on assholes.
[6:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *toasted
[6:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] *chuckled
[6:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*then ate something to not say something
[6:36][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ah, she was a good ship. There was something about the smell of sauerkraut permeating the ship even after a full disinfectation.
[6:36][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--raised her glass in toast.-
[6:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Commander Blaine you were just recently promoted to full commander right
[6:37][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Some parts of that ship smelled like boiled feet.
[6:37][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's what everyone keeps telling me," *he nodded to Julia.
[6:37][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I think we mean the same smell, Ezri.
[6:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"maybe..I was never able to find the sourse however.
[6:38][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Everyone had cmplaints about the protector, but she was home.
[6:38][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Well then congratulations
[6:39][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I mean the kzari protector, shay. The old protector was a damn fine ship.
[6:39][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] *she sipped her drink somehow
[6:39][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nalie had her purring like a caitian in a pornovid.
[6:39][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Did you ever consider MS tegan that perhaps it was in the sonic shower
[6:39][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Takes another sip of the wine.
[6:39][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Oh, that bucket. I was glad to get reassigned for much of that.
[6:39][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[julia] So you simply reapplied it every time you used it
[6:40][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Thank you. I was hoping it would set in by now, but..." *He shrugged and looked at his wine.
[6:40][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Did they have showers on that ship?
[6:40][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore tried the salad with a very pleased humm, then washed it down with more wine.* "You missed out, Shay. It was maybe the most interesting months of my life.
[6:40][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] It took 3 years for me after i took command of the persephone
[6:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] it will set in when you are doing something mundane liek shining your shoe
[6:41][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"...Don't tell Nadine I said that.
[6:41][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay tasts all, but eats very sparingly.
[6:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] The Kzari ship you used
[6:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[melody] I heard it was nearly 500 years old
[6:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it was really old.
[6:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well it was fun for me.
[6:42][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*he chuckled.* "I guess it will. But for now the imposter syndrome's still in full swing, which means... more wine will be needed.
[6:42][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I think it was just a bit newer, like 450 years old. But yeah, it was exciting fixing it up. Always wanted to do something like that.
[6:43][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Well have as much as you need i have plenty of my most recent Vintage. My wife fortunatley brough 10 cases before Artesia cut of supply.
[6:43][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] And it was a good year for the Antonius Vinyard
[6:43][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Can't imagien what something liek that flew like
[6:44][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I imagine it flew pretty well. Old or not, Kzari have been fighting this war in space for millenia.
[6:45][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kera Macedon] *the brunette woman sitting accross from v'tira nudged ken* Kzari do know how to build some impresive ships
[6:45][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Wasted on my palate, but if it's good, it's good. Just hope we run out of Apostates before you run out of cases.
[6:45][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] beryxian wine is a suitable substitue
[6:45][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Sighs as he takes another drag from his glass.
[6:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Until we see enemy on knee begging for sword to end them. Or heeding to stinging lash of retribution
[6:46][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I'd kill to get on one of their big command ships. Those things must be a miracle to power and make self-sufficient.
[6:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *took a large sip of her drink
[6:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Kzari motherships are large targets
[6:46][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"They are. But they are sexy large targets.
[6:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Designed to fight against the larger ships the Dark employs
[6:47][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] they look liek giant flying saucers
[6:47][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"And that doesn't tickle your imagination -how-? We humans have been talking about flying saucers for centuries before we actually made it into space!
[6:47][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yeah... guess that's the goal..." *he eyed the crew.
[6:47][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] I prefer a slimming figure
[6:48][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] With big cannons
[6:48][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena swallows some of her drink wrong
[6:48][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles.* "How'd you feel about a chantry cathedral? I have to say, those are some sexy big ones too.
[6:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He glanced at T'Lena.
[6:49][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Saucer is a bit of a round figure, I see your point.
[6:49][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*the mead hall nature of the mess hall was apparent to zhal now, as was the giant mossaic panted ont he wall depicting the mjolnir's battle with a giant dragon in space
[6:49][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] The chantry have a certain style. But it is also limiting and more substance than design for war
[6:50][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena ate one of the apettizers
[6:50][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"If we're talkin' a combination of style and substance, the federation got it right with both the arbiter and the vesta.
[6:51][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Arbiter lost a good amount of what made its ship classfication useful which is why they didn't actually build many of them
[6:51][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Still my cousins are useful ships
[6:51][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*His eyes gravitated towards the giant mossaic as he continued sipping at his wine.
[6:51][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] So Ms tegan did I read you found an interesting biological
[6:52][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *smiled* She painted that one after our first mission, barely out shakedown
[6:52][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*kala nods to Sif
[6:52][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] i thought we were not discussing work
[6:52][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I didn't really find Ruby, that was more the people in engineering.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] I said you weren't nothing about me
[6:53][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] ruby you named it
[6:53][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"But, yeah the organism is in my lab now.
[6:53][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We didn't really find it, it was more released by a tannie spy. We caught it using a crate, literally, because it ate all tech.
[6:53][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Has it show intelligence, how exactly does it maintain an morphogenic profile while consuming I am assumign metals
[6:53][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It certainly enjoyed the Coln station we fed it," *he mused.
[6:54][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I think we should take the little guy out to fancy dining more often.
[6:54][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*a betazoid man enters late sitting down across from ezri
[6:54][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] Sorry I am late, had a small accident in engineering, No one permanantly injured. Except for pride
[6:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We've only encountered the one station since we got hi-- it?
[6:55][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Good to see you Dr Neros.
[6:55][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"True enough..." *He then chuckled at Larkin's explanation.
[6:55][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"you will forgive me if I do not find Ruby overy cuddly or fun. It worries me.
[6:55][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well yeah... it would actually eat you if it got close enough. Or try.
[6:55][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] Please Niaev you know you always call me Larkin
[6:55][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"yeah but some of them wouldn't know too.
[6:56][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Biological weapon or entrapped creature, Fascinating bit of genetics none th eless
[6:56][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm already at my capacity for learning names tonight, so I'll just wing it." *He smirked.
[6:56][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] benefit of being a betazoid, if your forget just read their mind
[6:57][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*he winked at marcus
[6:57][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"its not entirely clear if Ruby was designed as a weapon or captured and turned into one.
[6:57][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Surely you jest." *said to Larken
[6:57][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Benefit of being in command, I can just make my underlings remember these things for me." *He grinned.
[6:57][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Must be one hell of a waste of time playing poker against one of you guys.
[6:57][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Well I'd kike to see your work
[6:57][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*like
[6:58][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] Wouldn't work on you now would it
[6:59][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Sure, any time. Right now we are mostly focusing on determining the level of intelligence.
[6:59][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*as they were discussing the fish course was brought out with vegitarian options for the rabbits
[7:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...On that note, did you ever figure out how it escaped from your lab yesterday, Tegan?
[7:00][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore got around to cleaning his fish.* "It did -WHAT-?!
[7:00][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] So what you do for fun shay
[7:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"um not really...
[7:01][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, no... I hope it didn't eat anything important. 
[7:01][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine marveled at fish that wasn't cut into fingers and breaded, then eyed Ezri.* "You have someone watching it now, of course, right?
[7:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..yeah sort of.
[7:01][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Tegan...
[7:02][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"yeah people are in the lab working.
[7:02][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Fun? If you mean hobbies, I read, play the hurdy gurdy, and enjoy spending time doing what friends enjoy.
[7:02][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] No kidding I play the low whistle
[7:02][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Okay. Thank you." *He continued to side-eye her.
[7:03][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Continues eyes the painting and takes another long drag from his wine.
[7:04][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Gives Blaine the look a mother gives the father who mostly ignores the rowdy child.
[7:04][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[ken] Lost it though when we lost *he says a recent ship loss
[7:04][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] that's why im back here, got my first xo gig blown out from under us
[7:05][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine shot an exasperated glare back at Bore.
[7:05][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] She's got a bunch more I can give your a tour after dinner Zhal
[7:05][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Mine is replicated, I have nothing not replicated outside of my quaters on the citadel.
[7:05][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods.* "Thank you Commander.
[7:05][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Excuse me..." *He pulled out his PADD and quickly typed up a couple of commands, then put it back in his inside pocket.
[7:06][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] I learned that the hard way. I was actually schedule to head through join Captain Kingman on the Pegasus. But well fate has a way of saying that "one last week" was a lot longer
[7:06][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"People know to keep an eye out in main engineering and in the power lines now...
[7:06][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Now im sure he's over their on the otherside of the great ring trying to figure out hwo to get back over here
[7:07][DOIC5]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*meanwhile on the Manta
[7:07][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He just rubbed his face, then noticed his glass had been refilled and quickly sought sanctuary in that.
[7:07][DOIC5]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie] Well aren't you the cutest little blob of goo. What you chewing there... oh well not chewing on anything at all huh... how many more are like this
[7:08][DOIC5]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie] *sighed* Luka get your tools... we got some microfissuring
[7:08][DOIC5]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Charlie] And find out where that cute boy went
[7:09][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You know, I've seen a lot of things try to eat a ship whole, but I never thought I'd be most scared of something a bit larger than my fist the most.
[7:09][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*just as soon as they had finished the fish dish, a soup was brought out
[7:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] It is an intriguing device or creature
[7:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i don't think they get much bigger than that Bore.
[7:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Glad my specialty is Stellar Cartography
[7:10][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Tegan, we literally saw it filling up a space station..." *He tried the soup.
[7:11][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I know sir, I suspect that one no longer just one creature.
[7:11][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*soup was a lentil based soup with a parsely garlic flavoring
[7:11][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oooh, this one reminds me of home so much. My mama used to make this all the time. Your chef's awesome.
[7:11][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I think we all figured that one out.
[7:12][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] this is actually my recipe
[7:12][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] I learned it from my caretaker she was Thracian
[7:13][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He eyed the green bits, then dutifully ate his vegetables despite the great personal sacrifice.
[7:13][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Really? It's great. And yeah, we're from roughly the same region as the thracians once were. We usually use mint instead of Parsley.
[7:13][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] i have made that variance as well
[7:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Mint is more for goat and mutton than soup
[7:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] A battle I lost long ago
[7:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she laughed and rubbed her husbands back
[7:14][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Dried mint also goes great with beans and lentils, though... but I agree, goat is great.
[7:15][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*as the soup which was enough to cleanse the palette but not be filling finishe dup the main course was brought
[7:17][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He looked at T'lena.* "You can bring me back for the umpteenth time when I overea and my intestines twist, right?
[7:17][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:(Overeat*
[7:17][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*this one a larger cut of venison, with sides of salted dates and unleven bread, spiced with salt, cumin and cardemon and served with a side of honey'd eggs.
[7:17][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Can she? Yes. Will she?" *He just shrugged.
[7:18][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] this one belongs to my chef
[7:18][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:I can
[7:18][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she dug into the meal
[7:18][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nice to see you care about our well-being so much..." *To Blaine before taking a whiff of the smell.
[7:18][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] the jelly in front of you is particularly good with the venison
[7:19][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We're not on the Manta, there's a good chance you might get a doctor who isn't invested in your potential demise." *He looked at the meal.* "God damn.
[7:19][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maxiomus] But it is potent. So do use to much
[7:19][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Your chef's really pulled out all the stops... I should probably spare them a bottle of my reserve too.
[7:19][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] it is called Garum
[7:19][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He tried the deer with a bit of the jelly
[7:20][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Spare them, or spare them from it?" *He began trying the food.
[7:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Just don't ask what its made from
[7:20][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Garum? Is this a magna roman thing?
[7:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she laughed
[7:20][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, I'll have heard worse. What's it made from?
[7:20][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*zhal would notice a fish tank in the galley
[7:21][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Watches the fish in the tank and refills his wine glass.
[7:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] It is made from fermenting fish and spices. And if your man eats it on every meal you make sure never to kiss him
[7:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] until he is properly cleansed with enough wine
[7:21][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] *laughed as he put it on the meat
[7:21][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"It's a great idea. Let nothing go to waste, even if it's spoiled.
[7:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I think we tried to make fish liquor that way when we were nine," *He mused.
[7:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"so not strawberry jelly then..
[7:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] you what
[7:22][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...We didn't have a lot of supplies to choose from, okay?
[7:22][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *was putting alot of it on the meat
[7:22][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I have to admire your adventurer's spirit... and your spirits." *He snerked
[7:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] *seemed visibly confused
[7:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*larkin touched his head
[7:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] Ouch
[7:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri looked at Larkin-- "Are you okay?
[7:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] i beleive i felt Melody's confusion from here
[7:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Even I did
[7:24][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] And my favoured vintage is twice distilled Dueterium in a clean pipe
[7:24][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"What? If it works with rotten fruit, why not rotten fish?" *He drank.* "Was the logic, I mean.
[7:25][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*She smiles to Sif* "Sounds like a good irish whiskey.
[7:25][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles at Shay and Sif's banter.
[7:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Depends on the storage barrel. Transfers from the Caelian are more like bourbon
[7:26][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The old heads in the village would sometimes mix lightly fermented fruit into kids' desserts when they wouldn't sleep. Knocked them out near immediately.
[7:26][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] I believe that might have actually been how Garum was discovered
[7:27][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Now its Ezri's turn to be confused.-
[7:27][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*after the dinner course a small plate with three seperate cakes was brought
[7:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Maybe we would've liked it, then. But no, we forgot it under my little brother's bed for about three months, until..." *He made an exploding motion with his hand.
[7:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*the first was a light french style cheese cake, the second was a carrot cake and the last was a betazoid pentachocalate cake
[7:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] now in the words of famous earth monarch, Let them eat cake
[7:29][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *she chuckled
[7:29][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He stared at the triple cake course.* "Now I'm definitely convinced I'm in a mind trap, but I'll take it.
[7:29][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore did just that, already resigned to being put through a workout regimen by Nadine ocne he returns.
[7:29][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] you can thank Captain T'pangs chef for the middle one there. It took Alfonso nearly six months to replicate it
[7:30][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Listen, when a mind trap feeds you like that, you indulge it. Maybe it will reward you with klingon warrior women belly dancing next.
[7:30][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] With his own spin of course chefs never duplicate
[7:30][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] If a klingon woman is belly dancing, you are soon dead indeed
[7:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at Marcus-- "its unlikily to be a mind trap. I would be able to tell.
[7:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He tried it quickly.* "...Goddamn. I don't even like carrot cake.
[7:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"But this... this I like.
[7:32][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked back at Ezri.* "Yeah, I know, I already tried all the tricks to breaking it aside from shooting myself in the forehead. I think this may be the reality we're stuck with.
[7:32][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I know, right?" *To blaine, then chuckled at Sif.* "Nothing wrong with having fantasies, right?
[7:32][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*eats a small portion of cae* "Very pleasing flavor combinations.
[7:32][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Mine usually involve a lot more weapons fire
[7:32][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] *glanced over to maximus and julia
[7:32][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Knowing my fianceé, probably hers as well.
[7:32][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Are we sure she isn't Nadine, Ristovski?
[7:33][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Good question.
[7:33][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri nods at Sif-- "Mine involve things blowing up.
[7:33][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] You are the one engaged to Ettore right, security officer serving under my son on the pilgrim
[7:33][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, the same.
[7:34][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] I'm usually flying away from the explosion all cool
[7:34][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] She is a feirce woman, good luck
[7:35][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Thank you... and trust me, I know.
[7:35][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*after dessert was finished Maximus stood.
[7:35][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Swirls the wine and takes another long drink
[7:36][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Minimum Marcus looked over.
[7:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Gratitude for joining us in meal. Now we break with entertainment and conversation
[7:36][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*he left the table and headed to the other side of the large mess where other memebers of the mjolnirs crew were already partaking.
[7:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *stood and went with him
[7:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] Well that is the queue. Bars stocked lets go see with what
[7:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*Kera and V'tira snuck off
[7:37][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri finishes her wine and cake-
[7:37][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked at the crew.* "Guess that means it's time to burn off all those calories you just took in. Have fun, don't make me have to clean up your messes.
[7:37][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*in kera's quarters some time later
[7:37][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Bar sounds perfect.
[7:38][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He moved out to join the others.
[7:38][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kera] *is engaged in a very heated game of strategema with V'tira... it would seem this is why they were late
[7:38][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He went with Bore.
[7:38][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Rose from his chair and took his glass of wine with him and walked over to the painting.
[7:38][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*Mead hall
[7:39][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Gotta say, your interior designer knows their job.
[7:39][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*there was a band playing folk isntruments as the other side of the mess hall had been converted
[7:39][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Thank you I do all my own makeup
[7:39][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *joined him
[7:39][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] You seem pretty interested
[7:40][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena headed over to the bar
[7:40][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He chuckles.* "Damn fine job... I wonder what the Manta would want to look like if she had a choice.
[7:40][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"I studied at a Conservatory on Trill when I was younger. Though my focus was music. I enjoyed looking at and studying the artwork.
[7:40][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We oughta get one for the Manta." *He mused as he walked over.* "Think we could do our own tavern bar thing if we set up holoprojectors in the mess hall?
[7:41][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Well I don't think there are any other VICI's available and definitely no mark ones
[7:41][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Mark III's don't have any personality. And I think the Aesir has the only mark II
[7:41][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore ended up pouring himself some whiskey, giving Blaine a nod.* "Touching it up into an old inn would be easy.
[7:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Sif does alot
[7:42][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Would be a bit of a power draw, though, so I'd recommend waiting until after the big war.
[7:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Come on
[7:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she headed toward the door to the mess
[7:42][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Looks another sip of his wine and followed her towards the mess.
[7:42][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Pity," *he shrugged at Sif, then nodded to Bore.* "Yeah, it would be a total vanity thing... but sometimes a little vanity is nice out on the endless space road.
[7:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Hey Ezri right
[7:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[melody] We met on nexus
[7:42][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] But i was pretty shaken up then
[7:42][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Especially when we get back to just exploring and meeting slugs in monasteries and harmless stuff like that.
[7:43][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*kala took zhal out of the mess area into the hallway right outside
[7:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri nods slowly-- "yeah, it been a while.
[7:43][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] you arne't much for parties are you
[7:43][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Man, that'll be the day." *He peered around for the dispenser of brain bleaching juice.
[7:43][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she shrugs-- "Not really...
[7:44][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Kept a leizurely pace and looking around and passed into the hallway.
[7:44][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] I was never an explorer
[7:44][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] even in the time between wars we were cleaning up from the last one
[7:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i know how to behave though.
[7:44][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] me either you want to see something cool
[7:44][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"sure, I always like to see cool stuff.
[7:45][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I was lucky to get shipped off into the LMC from the very start of my career... but soon we got pulled back to the milky way for the battle of bajor.
[7:45][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, you were always a VICI, actually," *he smirked slightly at Sif.* "But someone's got to do it.
[7:45][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"From then on it's been pretty hectic.
[7:45][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *stopped infront of a large painting, this one was a picture of Sif depicted as a valkyrie on a winged horse beneath it was a large wall of close to 456 names with insignia delta
[7:46][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] This is how she remembers our losses
[7:46][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] of course Marcus. I have always been a VICI. a conqueror
[7:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*melody went to lead ezri out of th emess
[7:47][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri followed-
[7:47][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Don't say it like that, you'll get Ristovski all hot and bothered.
[7:47][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:{melody] *walking through the halls with ezri past the muraled ships on the walls
[7:47][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I'm not allowed to get hot and bothered around conquerors who aren't nadine.
[7:47][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] We just finally got the new astrometrics observation area back up and running
[7:47][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Stands examining the piece and nods.* "Stunning.
[7:48][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Yeah, we've had to add quite a few names to it in the last year or so though
[7:48][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"We don't really have a dedicated astrometric laboratory on the Manta.
[7:49][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *started walking through the hall way and zhal could also see different world, betazed, New romulus, Earth, others each 30 meters of deck seemed to have a different one
[7:49][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods solmenly.* "A shame, none of us want to loose people, though a touching tribute.
[7:49][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's why we're looking out for you." *he glanced over his shoulder.* "Did the others disperse already? Huh. Not sure if I should be worried.
[7:50][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] You know that was actually a problem with my sisters
[7:50][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Several of their captains fell in love with their ship
[7:50][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's taking the job a little extremely.
[7:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] She paints these to remind us what we are fighting for
[7:50][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Well, I don't see Melody and the XO... I imagine they've kidnapped our people, so I wouldn't worry.
[7:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] or remember a place we fought
[7:50][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Walks through the hallway slowly and smiles as he looks at each planet.
[7:50][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He chuckles.* "And people say us engineers are too obsessed with our ships.
[7:51][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Well I had a fondness for my first engineer
[7:51][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Mhm... just make sure the jefferies tubes remain cleaned...
[7:51][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] But was she was an orion
[7:51][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yeah, that's a common issue.
[7:51][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[melody] *lead ezri into the astrometrics dome at the top of the ship where a traditional bridge woudl be
[7:51][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*it was large and almost as if steppign into a starfield
[7:52][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Everyone's partaken in a bit of green apples from time to time.
[7:52][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] We took the idea from the old Luna class
[7:52][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Seamless intergration you walk among the stars
[7:52][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[melody] *ezri could look down and see the space around them, the manta being worked on, the massive aesir as if she was in space herself
[7:52][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine just grinned to himself.
[7:53][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] told you it was cool
[7:53][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] What are you insinuating
[7:53][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] *tilts her head* Gentleman are you being inappropriate
[7:53][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nothing. Just that it's normal to be into orions. What happened with her?
[7:53][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, I'm an engineer, inappropriate's part of my skillset.
[7:54][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] She is Captain Kingmans First offcier on the pegasus
[7:54][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I wouldn't dream of it. Not without another few drinks, anyway.
[7:54][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] unfortunately trapped in the milkyway
[7:54][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He stops at the painting of earth examining the painting.
[7:54][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Stranged you stopped here instead of trill
[7:54][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, damn. Well, hopefiully you'll see her soon.
[7:54][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri looks around-- "Holographic projection..I was working on a similar system..but for tracking temporal anomalies.
[7:55][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] yeah i actually stole your algorithm
[7:55][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"really?
[7:55][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Computer begin program Tegan Alpha 2
[7:55][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*the holoroom changes and is now stretched way out as if they are standing over the entire galaxy
[7:56][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Trill is home, but Earth feel like a home away from home.
[7:56][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Can't track new one sbut I have been training it to track wormholes
[7:56][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Ristovski, you got that moonshine on you still?
[7:56][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Based on where they showed u
[7:56][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] it is at the bar
[7:56][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Unless Delta drank it all
[7:56][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Then what're we doing here?" *He went to the bar.
[7:56][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] *followed
[7:56][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He laughed and followed after Blaine.
[7:57][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] But i could use your help
[7:57][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"right, the adaptive algorithm should get better at prediction as it accumilates data.
[7:57][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You'll like this one. It's softer, I toned it down a bit to the 46 mark.
[7:57][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] So shay wanna dance
[7:57][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Oh, good, 'cause I was fairly sure that last batch killed every trace of bacteria in my gut.
[7:58][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:{julia] *walks up* Oh drinking the brought drink
[7:58][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Old people in the village still use stuff like this as a disinfectant and a catch-all cure. So yeah, not surprsiing.
[7:58][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Pour your host a glass
[7:58][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He steps towards the painting of Trill and reaches a hand forward but doesnt touch it.
[7:58][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He nods and goes to pour for Julia too.
[7:58][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] She pay close attention to the hue of the ocean
[7:59][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] We had a particular enlisted trill everyone liked
[7:59][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He chuckled.* "Well, good-bye, throat lining." *He lifted the glass.* "Cheers.
[7:59][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] He um well he's back on that wall. But use to always say they were too purple
[7:59][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*julia toasted
[7:59][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *then drank it
[7:59][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He nods.* "Few artists get it right." *He chuckled at that.* "Just a touch.
[8:00][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He downed his.
[8:00][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Toasted with the others.* "To the manta and mjolnir." *He downed his with the ease of someone who's done it ever since his teens
[8:00][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Oh that has a hint of plum in it. Or somethign like plum
[8:00][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Quite good
[8:00][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, Kzari winter plums. They're a bit more flavorful than what we have on earth.
[8:01][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He squinted a bit, but kept his composure.* "All I tasted was alcohol. Which, by the way, is not a bad thing.
[8:01][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I would be pleased to.
[8:01][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Thank you. Next batch will hopefully be strawberries.
[8:02][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] So you were a recent transfer right before artesia went offline. Your name was on the lsit before Powers was available. How has your time been on the manta, you have not had easy missions
[8:02][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He took another sip, smacking his lips and frowning some.* "This could have done with a bit more sugar, though. Very good, but not my best.
[8:02][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*ken offered his arm to take shay over to the dance floor in the main part of the mead hall as th eband played a norse folk song
[8:02][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] be my guest
[8:02][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] computer terminal
[8:02][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Gets the job done, and that's a win in my book.
[8:03][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*a terminal manifested in front of ezri
[8:03][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*His eyes lingered on where the Symbiosis Commission's Headquarters would be.* "Its been an adventure to be sure. Piloting them through hell, trying not to go flipping through a Gravitic Shear.
[8:03][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked over at the band.
[8:03][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He turned to Julia again.* "So, what is it you do on the ship? You got the look of security about you.
[8:03][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Thats common here
[8:03][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] They did have khitomer accords in this galaxy
[8:04][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Security, thank but I am actually A civilian. As far on the ship I'm actually on leave
[8:04][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He smirked.* "Understatement of the century, truth is I may fly like a badass, but fear and I are getting to know each other pretty well.
[8:04][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*seems happy to take his arm, thought looking up at hime quite a bit.
[8:04][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] I am workign in the Genetics division of Citadel R&D mostly on blight issue,
[8:05][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, damn. That sounds like a hell of a tough time. But maybe one of the most important jobs one can have in the LMC.
[8:05][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] but iwas in the legion once, then dropped out at 16 when maximus and I got married. So he could remain in the miltiary
[8:05][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] just two teenagers doing as family expects
[8:05][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You couldn't have served together?
[8:06][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Had my Telemachus a year later. Oh no not on roma
[8:06][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It is. The Blight's probably one of the worst weapons in their arsenal." *He drank.
[8:06][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Someone has to stay alive to raise the children
[8:06][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri approached the console and started to tap away on it.-
[8:07][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] besides i have four degrees in genetics and biology and minor studies in gene therapy and the like
[8:07][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"A weapon and a future resource." *He nodded to Blaine, then nodded back to Julia.
[8:07][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] I would not have had that if I had becoem the puppet i was meant to be, instead that fell to dear Decia years later
[8:07][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ah, Decia's a good 'un. Been in a bar brawl with her.
[8:08][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] She is also, well. She is forced to be many things
[8:08][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] All warriors have fear
[8:08][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He shrugged and just looked around the mead hall as they chatted.
[8:08][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Without it you are wreckless and end up dead
[8:08][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Forced? I always just thought she's the sentinel's main killer.
[8:09][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] *spun her around a little before setting her back on her feet
[8:09][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"She doesn't seem like anyone who can be forced to do anything.
[8:09][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] A soldier's job is not to kill. It's to shield
[8:09][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] And she is very much free'd by the artesia cutoff mor ethan she is trapped by it
[8:09][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"As space time phnomenon go worm holes have a pretty distinctive signature. Lots of tetryons, neutrinos, ionized hydrogen, thenta band radiation, and quantum level fluctuations.
[8:10][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*His eyes dont waver from the spot of the comission headquarters.* "True, mostly I just dont want to fail them. She is a good ship, with a good crew. Commander Blaine may have a pallet made of crust
[8:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena took a turn on the microphone doign a nice rendition of drunken sailor
[8:10][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:leather, but they are good people and its my job to fly them and keep them safe in flgiht.
[8:10][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it would be easy enough to train a model to sif through incoming data to map likily locations to look for them.
[8:10][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] yeah but the tanausan ones. they seem to be more stable than even the bajoran wormhole
[8:10][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ah. Well, whatever's the reason, I'm glad she can get some rest.
[8:10][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*While sturdy, Shay is aproperiately weighted for her size, but despite seems very light on her feet with grace of a trained dancer.
[8:11][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] They don't have the same buildup making htem harder to detect. I've dubbed it "stealth" wormhole tech
[8:11][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Your captain what
[8:11][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"they are stable because they are artifically proppe open. They use those probes to basially hold the door open.
[8:12][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] We are all bound by what we are meant to be
[8:12][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] in one way or another
[8:12][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *nodded to sif
[8:12][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"He drinks terrible alcohol, and has terrible taste in food.
[8:12][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He motioned for another from Bore.
[8:12][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] he's a survivor
[8:12][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Survivors don't have the luxury of a refined taste
[8:12][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"That's one world for it.
[8:12][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore shrugs some.* "Maybe? I mean, we probably all have our destiny..." *He stopped to pour Blaine and himself more, as well as Julia if she doesn't stop him
[8:13][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I think the key to tracking their wormholes to to figur eout why they select the systems they do to open them.
[8:13][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she takes the drink
[8:13][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] So whats nice irish girl like you stuck in a galaxy like this
[8:13][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I don't see our destiny or whatever as binding us. It's just a part of us, same as our skin.
[8:14][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Good outlook
[8:14][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she sipped the drink
[8:14][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] What do you mean
[8:14][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"What we all are doing, answering a call to serve.
[8:14][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He was in full quiet brood mode now, nursing the drink.
[8:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Well i joined for the uniform, worked great in bars
[8:15][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Always knew I wanted to be on starships. Grew up watching about captain Kirk. I wanted to punch gorn and kiss lots of alien girls too.
[8:15][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] SO have you done that
[8:15][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"There seems to be some selectivity about where they place their wormholes. 
[8:15][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] He still has a hand so probably not on the gorn
[8:15][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Father is a commander in Starfleet, I guess you could say I was inspired by him.
[8:16][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Punch gorn... not really. Kissed lotsof alien girls... A vulcan and some orions.
[8:16][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Daddy's girl
[8:16][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] A vulcan, was it V'tira
[8:16][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] If so i am not sure that is an acomplishment
[8:16][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"First off, that's very rude to V'Tira, second, I don't believe I should tell.
[8:16][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I have been told that, Mother said it often.
[8:17][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] I am warship not councilor
[8:17][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It doesn't count when our memories were all erased, Ristovski," *he finally said.
[8:17][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] Oh isn't it funny how that plagues some ships
[8:17][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Fair enough. Oh, and there was also a nausicaan. But he was a he.
[8:17][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He smirks again and continues to walk through the paintings.
[8:17][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Suprised you still have lips
[8:17][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"And well... no kissing.
[8:17][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Can you even... kiss a Nausicaan?
[8:17][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, no, I didn't kiss that.
[8:18][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He blinked.
[8:18][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *they arive at the turbolift and she orders it to the hangar deck
[8:18][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *laughed
[8:18][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"It was other kissing-adjacent activities." *He chuckled.
[8:19][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm... not sure if I'm curious enough to ask for details at this level of tipsiness.
[8:19][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] engaging absent thought to self preservation. So who is kinder fair nadine or the nausicaan
[8:19][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Does it have, like, barb--- no, I don't want to know.
[8:19][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nadine is like, a whole pirate crew's worth of Nausicaans.
[8:19][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] So plug in what you think i've been trainign this thing for almost 4 months maybe it can adapt
[8:19][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Follows her into the lift and tilts his brow at the hangar deck
[8:21][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *enters the hangar deck, lined up are the new Dragon mark III's 4 of them.
[8:21][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"She's my biggest win, no doubt about it.
[8:21][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Seen one yet
[8:21][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I believe it, I've seen you limping.
[8:21][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He whistles low.* "No, no I havent.
[8:22][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I fell down the stairs.
[8:22][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] I prefered the Berserkers. But these are better have more range
[8:22][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Sure you did, buddy.
[8:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Not really a bad thing *he kept dancing with shay
[8:23][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] got a guy or girl somewhere
[8:23][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He walks along side the nearest fighter.* "Impressive.
[8:23][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri nods and starts tapping along.-- "its hould adapt, but as you said the Tanasaunan technology is made to evade detection by design. So it may take longer to adapt. But, once the system figures.
[8:24][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] but if you have a hypothesis on the systems they use maybe we can search for that instea
[8:24][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:{melody] Would make the hunting easier
[8:24][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I don't wear ring, but I am not a celebate either. Of course I see someone but not exclusively.
[8:25][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Yep we've been drinking so no test flight but. Wanted to show you wants out there. Getting thrown into the war, can't be easy especially when your thinking with legacy on the line
[8:25][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Well isn't that something
[8:25][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *sips the drink holding it to her lips a moment
[8:26][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I really wish I had not been drinking..." *His eyes brighten.* "It's very pretty.
[8:26][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] If you fell down stairs would you not have simply gone to sickbay to repair the damage
[8:26][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nah... Why bother the doctors with something minor?
[8:26][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] Always next time. We should be getting back
[8:27][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"He gets off on being sore and in pain," *he explained to Sif.
[8:27][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Ah i see
[8:27][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He lingers for a minute and then turns back.* "True, would be nice to not have to worry about legacy...
[8:27][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Don't knock it till you've tried it.
[8:27][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] I am a warship
[8:28][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I was speaking more to Blaine... I'm sure -you- get it.
[8:28][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Yes, is something, just not the only thing." *she smiles mischeviously* "But I'm not a VICI, the captain is not likely to fall in love with me.
[8:28][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] I don't really enjoy being cut open
[8:28][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I've tried plenty. Been beaten enough outside the bedroom to know it's not for me.
[8:28][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"But you enjoy cutting other ships open.
[8:28][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] You know I almost forgot you werne't human
[8:28][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Well the Manta is one of the few ship that was able to be present at the exact moment they opened one od thier wormholes.
[8:28][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"So you're just on the opposite side of the spectrum.
[8:29][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Well, one of the few ships that witnessed that and lived to tell about it.
[8:29][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He smirked slightly and drank.
[8:29][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Not that it matters, just I don't think the legatus is going to fall for Sif
[8:30][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] yeah
[8:30][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"His wife is on board, that would be an oddity I think. If she was not, I could see what somone would see in Sif.
[8:30][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *lead him back toward the mess
[8:31][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Thanks for this, though. Been a while since I could relax without feeling the ship will fall apart or a red goo will eat it.
[8:31][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] Yeah she did pick well with that avatar
[8:31][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] you are welcome
[8:31][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Follows after her keeping pace and thinking about those fighters.
[8:31][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"That sort of first hand data is helpful, but now they have newer probes that can cloak. Making detecting more difficult.
[8:31][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Julia] *she downed the rest fo the drink* I need to return to arm of treasured husband gratitude for the drinks
[8:32][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Agreed. I should ask her about her specifications, maybe aspire to a similiar outward appearance.
[8:32][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Meldoy] they always do seem one step ahead
[8:32][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[ken] *chuckled
[8:32][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Our regards," *he nodded to Julia.
[8:32][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] I don't htink theres anything wrong with yours
[8:32][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Of course." *He nodded with a smile and looked down as his PADD chimed.* "And I need to... oh, fucksakes, Damian..." *He stepped aside.
[8:33][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] *mixed with others of the manta's crew
[8:34][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*kala and zhal arive back in the greater mess
[8:34][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"if i could get my hands on their portal technology I am sure I could figure it all out without all the guess work.
[8:34][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] I hope you enjoyed the tour
[8:34][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Thanks, I'm sure mother would appreciate the compliment on her design.
[8:34][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:"I did, I'd love to fly one of those fighters, thank you for the tour.
[8:35][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Kala] *she nodded and then headed to talk with others
[8:35][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Well if anyone is going to steal it it will be Ezri Tegan
[8:35][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] *offered a high five
[8:36][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[maximus] *walked up to Blaine
[8:36][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[maximus] Marcus
[8:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] *smiles as they dance a little more
[8:37][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*sif has made her way to the dancing area
[8:37][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He was about to take his next drink when he looked up, setting the glass down.* "Sir?
[8:37][DOIC6]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--returns the high five-- "We shoudl stay in dontact, that way i can update you with additional information I come across.
[8:38][DOIC6]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Melody] Definitely
[8:39][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] In order to avoid confusion you may call me Maximus
[8:39][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] *sipped a drink at the bar
[8:40][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Right, that would be easier all things considered." *He looked at Maximus.* "Thank you again for hosting the crew like this. They get a little stir crazy.
[8:40][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Leaned against the bar and refilled his glass.
[8:40][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*nods* "Greetings Sif, am I enjoying your dance partner?" *she jokes as he is the ship's pilot
[8:40][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] When on campagin it is important for R and R
[8:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] you can keep him he steps on my toes
[8:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] *she smiled* Just when i thought I was rid of him
[8:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[ken] You know im only here until Kyle is better then its back to Citadel flight duty
[8:41][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It is. Just a bit harder to manage with limited space sometimes." *He drank.* "They'll need it before the upcoming shitshow.
[8:41][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Its been nice having you back Ken
[8:42][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] yes your mission is important but perilous
[8:42][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Still we might have had a very different week if your ship had not discovered that attack when you did
[8:42][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] We may get the direction action but intelligence is paramount
[8:43][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Oh, you are based out of the Citadel? I was reassigned there for communications analysis a few months ago. I'm on loan to the Manta for a sensor buoy project.
[8:44][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"No argument there. All I have to do it keep them from blowing themselves up in the meantime.
[8:44][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] yeah after my ship got blasted they were short on Pilots and actually needed a Cag, bit of a downgrade from first officer but does stick me in an Dragon
[8:44][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Ken] I am actually commanding the training wing. the one getting all the new recruits from our friends up to par
[8:44][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Takes a long drink from his wine glass.
[8:45][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Well with the repairs that should be less likely
[8:46][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] *nodded to zhal* Larkin Neros
[8:46][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"My position was in flux once we lost the Protector. That was my first real assignment, and I thought of it as home. I'm not sure I'll find anything else like it here in this LMC.
[8:46][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Losing a ship can be hard
[8:46][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods and smiles to Larkin.* "Alerio Zhal, but just call me Zhal.
[8:47][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] Okay Zhal
[8:47][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"They'll just find another way," *he muttered.
[8:48][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[maximus] You know, at somepoint you need give your self and your crew credit for what have acomplished despite whatever beginnings they may have had
[8:48][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Turns his head at Marcus and narrows his eyes. Then turns back to Larkin.* "Enjoying yourself?
[8:48][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I agree. It was a difficult adjustment. The comander was making a mistake by being willing to guide her to destruction. I stayed with her to make sure she evacuated. I would never have forgive
[8:49][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:myself if she had died to complete the mission. She is too valuable an officer.
[8:50][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Larkin] For us this is a common ritual after a large engagement
[8:51][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Zhaixe would not have risked Zhaixe in that way
[8:51][DOIC2]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods.* "I see, would be nice to have a similar ritual on the Manta, but we seem to run from one incident to the next.
[8:51][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked back with that.* "I don't care about my crew's origins, couldn't care less. I know what they've accomplished. Doesn't mean I don't know what they're capable of.
[8:52][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Does that assessment include their captain
[8:52][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I was there, I believe she was intending it... to make sure the sacrifice of the ship would not be wasted. I tried to convince her to let me take her place. In the end, it seemed she left with m
[8:52][DOIC2]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I know what he's capable of, too, and that's probably the worst part.
[8:52][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:to keep me from staying.
[8:53][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] *nodded his head a moment and seem to contemplate the next words
[8:54][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Then I posit this. If you look for faults in the crew, in the mirror. you will always find them. It is good to have knoweldge of their existence. But burden of command is to trust, not only
[8:54][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:your crew but in your self that at the end of the day you will perform in manner that is best for crew and mission. Even if you think it misplaced
[8:55][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Maximus] Just something I had to learn the hard way myself
[8:55][DOIC2]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*he pat marcus on the shoulder
