[9:56][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Is that the one where the Kzari girl commits suicide over her Magic and Monsters character?" *He ate a french fry.
[9:57][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..I don't think so sir...somthing about acheiving higher purpose...
[9:57][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Seems a little suspect, but okay.
[9:59][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Down on the lower levels of the promenade they have people passing out religious propaganda all the time...The Kirtascans are there every week..
[9:59][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I was invited to a study of their religious book..
[9:59][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Ezri, I took Introduction to Theology back at Oxford, just be careful, almost every religion is built on creating control over the followers.
[10:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Backfired for the Kirtascans, I guess. Their followers threw their lizard pope out a window.
[10:00][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am careful Shay.. They seem like nice enough people..
[10:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i might be interested in enlightenment...
[10:01][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"But who's enlightenment?
[10:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"maybe if we understood the Chantry we might become friends..
[10:02][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, they worship the same entity as Nyzaria does..." *He trailed off, and ate another fry.
[10:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--nods to Marcus-- "...see common ground..
[10:03][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, it takes very... enlightened people to be able to overcome differences like that, I guess." *He cleared his throat, then drank some synthale.
[10:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i agree sir..
[10:06][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Like, I'd ask "who's definition" of enlightenment? Are we talkin' like "ascend to higher plane", or "We're not assholes anymore.
[10:07][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Looks at Costa-- "..I can't really answer that, I will read that tract maybe it says.
[10:07][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame stopped just short of the entrance, made a face and stared at the ceiling for some time before he sighed and walked in
[10:08][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:Excuse me.. *he squeezed inbetween bore and kara
[10:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I think enlightenment is like..." *He considered it for a moment.* "Something you have to realise for yourself. No one else can tell you, you just... know for yourself.
[10:09][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay rearranges some components on her PADD and runs it as simulation
[10:09][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--shrugs-
[10:09][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:'Well... don't a lotta religious and spirital works kinda like... uuuh... open for interpretation." Nelson then snaps his fingers and points at Marcus. "I like that answer.
[10:09][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Though I guess under that definition a bunch of insane people could call themselves that.
[10:09][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore nods to Dame.
[10:09][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You okay?
[10:09][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Hay there Damian" *she smiles at him brightly
[10:10][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Snow." *He nodded in acknowledgement as he ate his fried fish.
[10:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Insane people just see the world differently than every one else..
[10:11][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he nodded back, clearing his throat before responding loudly* Hi.
[10:11][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Hey Damian
[10:12][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"believe it or not even I have been accused of being insane from time to time..
[10:12][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Don't let anyone tell you that you are insane Ezri, that's just a way to cancel an argument and trigger you into self doubt. It's a tactic to win arguments and quiet disagreement.
[10:12][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Exactly Shay!
[10:13][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he ordered himself a beer and pizza slice, not exactly paying attention to the -other- side of the bar* Did you change your hair Kara
[10:13][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Why yes, thank you for asking
[10:14][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"The worst part is, the way they define insanity, makes it impossible to declare yourself sane. Only someone else can, because any argument you use to prove your sanity matches a diagnosis.
[10:14][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"It's insidious.
[10:15][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...Who is to say a muti-verse synchronization devise is 'insane'?
[10:16][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...why wouldn't people want to meet themselves from other universes?
[10:16][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:Yeah, you look good.. *he looked at Bore after
[10:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Wouldn't that, you know... smush the universes together into the same space?
[10:17][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..yeah sure...on a limited scale..
[10:18][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"And you could... unsmush it, right?
[10:18][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"There was a theory I read once thta they aren't smushed together, but are actually existing in the same space, just vibrating at different frequency so that they are only perceptable by that whic
[10:18][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:matches it's vibration frequency.
[10:18][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"sure..the math works out...anyway..
[10:19][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"You could accidentally vibrate yourself into a universe where the evil you can kill and replace you..." *He stroked his beard.
[10:20][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"The vibration would take place at the subatomic level though sir.
[10:20][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at Marcus-- "...I suppose that is one possible danger sir..
[10:20][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Damn.. Uh... Yeah, you look great, Kara." *He nodded.
[10:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"but, imagine the value of having access to an infinite number of Ezris from across the multiverse?
[10:21][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"And captain, you and I are already the evil versions, we got the beards and all.
[10:21][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Thanks
[10:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Marcus looked vaguely disturbed at the thought.
[10:21][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:Let's not.. *he said out loud to Ezri
[10:21][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"imagine the possibilities?
[10:22][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"But Ezri... what if you're the only Ezri who is a," *He had to take a moment before he said it,* "Super genius?
[10:22][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"That's kind of impossible.
[10:22][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"that is unlikily sir...
[10:22][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The multiverse theory means that there's infinite amounts of infinite universes, right?
[10:23][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"So there's bound to be at least one more super genius Ezri. But there's probably more.
[10:23][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"well, it is the theory the phase cloak is built on isn't it? I mean, I read about it when I was trying to work out how to use the viewer during cloak.
[10:23][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"that Bore that is the general hypothesis..
[10:23][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He gave Bore a look for not going along with it.
[10:23][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Shrugs to Blaine.
[10:23][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"More Ezris would be fun.
[10:24][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he gave Bore a quick slap behind his head
[10:24][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay looks up at Bore a little alarmed and shook her head a little.
[10:24][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ow!
[10:24][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The fuck, Damian?
[10:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...yeah I imagine at least one of those Ezri's know how to have fun..
[10:24][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:There was a spider.
[10:24][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...we could call it the council of Ezris...
[10:25][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"How would you choose which Ezris lead the council?
[10:25][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--shrugs-
[10:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"The council of Marcuses will not be pleased.
[10:25][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The council of Bores will probably be more like a village tavern with the multiverse's best moonshine.
[10:25][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i just assumed I would lead it..
[10:26][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Is there... What even, bro. What even.
[10:26][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame rubbed the bridge of his nose
[10:27][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Why Ezri? I mean, wouldn't it make sense that such a thing would be lead by whichever is the resident version for what ever location/universe you are present in? I mean, because that Ezri would hav
[10:27][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:the largest investment in the situation.
[10:27][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at Shay confused.-- "um maybe I guess.
[10:28][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..I mean eventually you have to figure some Ezri somewhere is going to figure out how to breech the multiversal barrier..
[10:28][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"... A Nelson of Councils?
[10:29][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I have been worried before Ezri, but forgive me, but I think that is as close as I have ever felt to frightened.
[10:29][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"So maybe I just sit back and wait?
[10:30][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's probably for the best, Tegan, no reason to waste time if someone else is going to do it first.
[10:30][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Other Ezris are smart enough to do it on their own.
[10:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--shrugs-- "...the thrill of discovery sir..
[10:31][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"How do you even do that? Like... I wasn't in a track for ... Whatever science would go on about doing that kind of stuff.
[10:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Plus it gives you time to prepare your bat'leth skills for if they don't come in pease.
[10:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*peace )
[10:31][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i can multitask sir..
[10:31][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm sure...
[10:31][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:'Like Breaching dimensional whatsits.
[10:32][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I mean, even if the Ezris of the other universes do not discover it on their own, they could steal the invention from the feather monkeys of thier Risa
[10:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"of cpurse my priority is preparing the ship for the war gamess.
[10:32][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"I mean like... what would I even do if I met myself? Would we get along? Would he try to take my skull...
[10:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks at Shay-- "I had not considered that Shay...what if the Feather monkeys get the technology firs?
[10:33][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Laughs, suddenly recalling something.
[10:33][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, man, remember Risa last year?
[10:33][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"I assumed you would think they already had it
[10:33][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"... WAIT Are the Feather Monkeys actually smart enough?
[10:33][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...the war could extend across the multiverse!
[10:33][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"...What have feather monkeys got to do with it, Costa?
[10:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...destroying ....everything!...
[10:34][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Ezri... I was joking. Calm down.
[10:34][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...i should report this to Admiral Compton immediatly..
[10:35][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Tegan, I'll pass it along. Promise." *He winked.
[10:35][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"No need to bother the Admiral at this hour.
[10:35][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Right sir it should come from you...proper chain of command and all..
[10:35][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:'Well... I mean they are kinda creepy though... The monkeys I mean.
[10:36][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"...They're just monkeys.
[10:36][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's what they once said about us humans, Ristovski.
[10:37][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"They are a friendly species, not the enemy. Even if they were, i'm sure we could arrange a peace arrangment with them.
[10:37][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Eh. If they start evolving too much, we give them guns and see what happens.
[10:37][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Well technically sir, humans are apes...
[10:37][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Will be fun watching feather monkey wars.
[10:37][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I'm fairly sure there are laws against that.
[10:38][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"You are right Shay we must persure peace...its the only way to prevent disaster.
[10:38][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Well monkeys are creepy. 
[10:38][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"As I recall, there was some sort of accord achieved over the summer was there not?
[10:39][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Yes there was Shay...there was a temorary hiccup but that got sorted out..
[10:39][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"See now? Nothing to worry about.
[10:40][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Unless the monkeys from the other dimensions don't know about the peace accords," *he mused.
[10:40][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I am sure you are right...everything is under controll..
[10:40][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"But what if there IS another alternate dimension where the Feather monkeys ARE intelligent and have a civilization.
[10:41][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks ar Marcus-- "We wil prepare for the worst and pray for the best..
[10:41][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Bore, i'm going to send you a schematic i've been working on. I think we can bypass some of the signals interference during our communications, and lower our EM signature if we reconfigure this way
[10:41][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Sure, I'll check it out.
[10:41][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"THat we will, Tegan." *He finished his food and passed the plate to Holo Hank.* "You all have a good night, now.
[10:42][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Good night sir. Tell Nysaria I said hello.
[10:42][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Holo Hank] You as well
[10:42][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:*Shay sends a quick message to Blaine* -Sorry that joke got out of control.
[10:42][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Sure thing, Tegan." *He nodded and headed out.
[10:44][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Well now i'm worried about monkeys. This is dumb. Am I dumb?
[10:45][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..it is relative Nelson. Dumb compared to whom?
[10:45][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..You are not the smartest person on our crew..
[10:45][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame gave Bore a look
[10:46][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Then wait, who's the dumbest?
[10:46][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"its a toss up between you can Damian I think...
[10:47][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:Oh yeah? What makes you think that
[10:47][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...an estimate of your approximat intelligence levels, based on your history..
[10:48][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:What history
[10:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i don't have access to your medical records so I could be wrong..
[10:48][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...history in the sense of our time together..
[10:49][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...don't get me wrong you are both well above average intelligence for a human..
[10:50][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:*Nelson smiles, taking the assassment as a compliment.* "Thanks!
[10:50][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*Dame merely grumbled
[10:50][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"My estimate is merely a relative comparison between members of our crew..
[10:53][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he stared oddly at Ezri for a moment
[10:54][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...Don't feel bad. You are a very good engineer.
[10:54][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:I sometimes wonder how you even get up in the morning..
[10:54][DOIC1]Six@Gonz.:"Damian ia wonderful engineer.
[10:55][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Why would I have trouble getting up in the morning?
[10:56][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:I dunno.. *he grabbed his drink and moved to the outside, using Kara as his body cover now
[10:57][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--looks around the room-- "what? was it something I said?
[10:59][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he merely bit down on his tongue
[10:59][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:*Kara eyes Damian.
[11:01][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...it got really quiet all the sudden...
[11:01][DOIC1]Costa@ThanatosR:"Huh? Oh, okay.
[11:01][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*he looked down at Kara* I'm surprised you stayed here with us... thought you'd be one of the first ones gone.
[11:01][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Why
[11:02][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:I don't know? The appeal of fixing up another ship maybe? Why'd you stay
[11:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"...well I suppose I should go...lots of work to do on the ship in the morning..
[11:03][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Good night guys..
[11:04][DOIC1]Damian@the5of43:*hesitantly at first* Good night Ezri.. don't let the bed bugs bite.
[11:05][DOIC1]DGMAngelboy@ClingingMar:[Dalby] Night Ezri
