Pilgrim 8/17/2021

[9:13][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays! *
[9:14][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The episode opens on a shuttle descending toward a well-forested planet as the Pilgrim looms in orbit overhead. It cuts to an interior shot, where one could see tonight's heroes in their seats..
[9:15][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:as it slowly descends toward the surface. Eren's log can be heard as they enter the atmosphere.*
[9:16][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] “Chief science officer’s log, stardate 98362.09… Maker, it’s going to take some time to get used to that. I’m still not sure if this isn’t some elaborate prank being pulled by Command as..
[9:16][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:punishment for, well, take your pick. I suppose it’s more of a punishment for poor dear T’Ghor, having been passed over for his old position yet again for someone plucked from off-ship, but I’m..
[9:17][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:afraid I don’t make the rules, I just benefit from them to the best of my ability. In any case, to not take too many pages from the book of Captain Talia, we were on our way to the delightful land..
[9:17][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:of Beryxia when we were hailed with a request to check up on one of their expeditionary teams surveying the planet Ixyatha for potential colonisation. Let’s just hope they were too busy geeking out.
[9:18][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:to pick up their comm, and weren’t sent back in time or turned into trees or some nonsense. End log.”
[9:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Moving us into position over the landing site
[9:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Pilgrim is proceeding with her mission, Logging us as solo
[9:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "No pressure, kids. Just nobody die while the Captain's away.
[9:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"That's why we brought the Doctor.
[9:20][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrins shoulders drooped a little
[9:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'm still not picking up any sign of their ship, are we sure they landed?
[9:21][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:These are the coordinates
[9:21][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps they mvoed locaiton and did not log it
[9:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor sighed and checked his sensor.
[9:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Why do beryxians seem completely incapable of functioning on their own?
[9:21][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:That seems a bit discriminatory
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No... but how many messes have they been involved in that we've had to help with?
[9:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Not nearly as many as we have with other Milky Way species.
[9:23][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"You need to give them a decent incentive, something art or sex related to see them really perform to best of ability.
[9:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I think she's just biased because they're hot," *she murmured to T'Ghor.
[9:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Orestes.* "Definitely." *He murmured back.
[9:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Besides, how many times have these planets had dangers unknown on them. The Beryxians are Artists and Architects, not warriors
[9:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It is not hard to overcome someone not accustomed to combat
[9:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You'd be surprised... ever try to fight a stripper?
[9:24][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*shakes her head and sighs* "They have had it rough, lets just hope we don't find another outbreak.
[9:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] "A male orion one once, yeah.
[9:24][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he stared at T'ghor
[9:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Do I want to know what transpired to bring that about
[9:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I think we can all guess.
[9:25][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I don't think wrestling and fighting are the same thing.
[9:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] "He wanted double the payment we'd agreed on for the party.
[9:25][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"See?
[9:25][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Wow T'ghor.
[9:25][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I'll put us down in their original landing site
[9:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"What?
[9:26][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I meant, it's almost standard to have every deal in writing these days.
[9:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The landing site was a small, rocky clearing near a river. They could see a few mammalian creatures that looked similar to foxes drinking from the water.
[9:26][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I don't care who you spend your time with.. sir.
[9:26][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he put the shuttle down
[9:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It wasn't for me. We were giving one of our Argentina science girls a surprise birthday party on Drozana.
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'm glad you're not in charge of our surprise parties, T'Ghor.
[9:28][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We've landed
[9:28][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he nodded at Orestes
[9:28][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Istrin, lets clear
[9:28][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he grabbed his PDP-7.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey, I do great surprise parties.
[9:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Speak for yourself, kid." *She checked the readouts.* "Okay, air's good to breathe, temperature is a nice 23 degrees.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"When I don't fight the stripper, or the DJ.
[9:29][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin grabbed his phaser and headed behind Aquila when he did
[9:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded* Contagions? *he looked to dali
[9:30][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I think we are good." *she says after checking the sensors
[9:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he hit the hatch
[9:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*and stepped out
[9:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*motioning for istrin to sweep their left
[9:31][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin did indeed sweep their left
[9:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Team from USS Pilgrim, Beryxian Colonization Team are you here
[9:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he called out
[9:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The hatch opened, exposing them to the earthy scent of trees. A few of the animals looked at them curiously, a smaller one approaching Istrin.
[9:31][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*as an asside when he passes* "T'Ghor, remind me to talk to you about a belated batchelor party for Marcus, thinking that would be a good anneversary present.
[9:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods.
[9:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Marcus' voice echoed, but was met with nothing more than the rush of the river and some bird calls from the distance.
[9:32][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Nope.. Not going to reach out to you little one..*he scanned the area
[9:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I am not sure if anyone is here. Istrin do you feel anything
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor plays around with his tricorder, trying to find signs of non-organic stuff now that he's on the ground,.
[9:34][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:No sir, I've got nothing.. Seems like a nice place though, reminds me of a vacation spot back home.
[9:34][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali checks to make sure the blight detection algorythm is still functioning on the tricorders and sensor systems on the shuttle.
[9:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She strode out of the hatch.* "Reminds me of a few camping trips I've been on...
[9:34][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Well keep eye out while they try to figure out what happened
[9:34][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila looked around for any tracks
[9:35][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li heads out beyond the hatc.
[9:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"All of us are clothed and not under the influence, it does not remind you of camping tricks.
[9:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:(Trips*
[9:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Don't you tell me what I'm reminded of or not." *She squinted.
[9:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He grinned and looked back down at his 'corder.
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila patroled around
[9:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hrm. There's something unorganic in the stream.
[9:38][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin moved to find a better view of their surroundings
[9:38][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He walked towards the water and kneeled down to check for whatever it may be that pinged, maybe collecting a water sample.
[9:39][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali stayed inside and used the shuttle sensors to do more detailed scans of the immediate vicinity.
[9:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Walked back into the shuttle with the water sample to check it more thoroughly in case there is nothing obviously metallic in the stream.
[9:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he walked over to the indents on teh ground
[9:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I found their landing point, but the shuttle is gone. No signs of it leaving.
[9:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Li can you take a look at this
[9:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She strolled over with Aquila.* "Mh... now that's interesting. What could make off with a whole damned shuttle without turning it on?
[9:43][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*calling out* "I'm not seeing indication of them leaving anything. Are you seeing anything out there to indicate that they indeed landed here? or were that that clean with their landing?
[9:43][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Maybe they took off again
[9:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We have the landign space
[9:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No burn marks
[9:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Water is clean. Alloy should be somewhere in the stream.
[9:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Zorin, I am sending you tricorder data of a metallic alloy somewhere in the stream, can you help me locate it?
[9:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He wades into the water ands starts looking around.
[9:44][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin made for the stream and took a look around for anything out of the ordinary
[9:44][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I can try, yeah
[9:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Assuming they did the same thing T'ghor did
[9:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he started walking toward the river
[9:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*stopping when the rocks turned to mud and there were tracks
[9:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Something glinted in the water near where T'Ghor was standing.
[9:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They definitely landed and moved out from here
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He went to check the glinting thing.
[9:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he shook his head a bit muttering something in latin then looked out into the water
[9:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*to see what t'ghor found
[9:47][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li operates his tricorder to try to locate it.
[9:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*T'Ghor tried to grab the shiny thing in the water, but only succeeded in churning up the mud at the bottom and obscuring whatever it was.
[9:48][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They were defintiely studyng something here, lots of cross traffic
[9:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ah, fuck." *He chased after the stream and tried to grab at teh thing.
[9:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She was scratching the baby fox creature behind the ears.* "Need a net?" *she called to T'Ghor.
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes please!
[9:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*T'Ghor was unable to find the shiny now that he had churned up the mud.
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ah, fuck me." *He started scanning around with the tricorder, trying to find his precious.
[9:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She murmured something in Trill to the fox and walked back into the shuttle.
[9:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked for any isolated tracks leading off from the area of tracks
[9:53][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali sets up a tricorder to look for beryxian DNA, and steps out of the back. She starts scanning, walking in a spiral out from the landing point trying to catch something of them.
[9:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I see a track on the other side of the river
[9:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked to see if it was crossable
[9:56][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Marcus, I'm sending everyone a ping I'm getting from across the river. Beryxian DNA, faint.
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*It was fairly rapid at this part of the river, though it did not seem to be particularly deep or uncrossable.
[9:56][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he looked at those in charge
[9:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That seems to be in the direction fo the tracks. I think that's where we find the next clue as to what happened here
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She poked her head out.* "Well, sounds like it's across the river we go.
[9:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Still tried to catch his shiny with the tricorder before they cross.
[9:57][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Do you need help? *TO T;ghor
[9:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he headed to the shallowest point he could see and waited for everyone to get to him
[9:58][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Take what equipment you think you will need. We may be on a trail a bit. That hit was rather small. We might be looking for a while to find more.
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If you can help, please do." *To Istrin.
[9:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She loaded up a pack with science stuff.
[9:59][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he rolled his sleeves up best he could to help T'ghor find his precious, waiting for the mud to settle a little bit before he messes it up again
[9:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She did the same.
[10:00][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dr Delancey returns to grab her medical kit and a survival kit before returning to the group to prepare for crossing.
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Istrin's hand closed around something delicate and metallic.
[10:01][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Wait.. I got something.. *he gave it a tiny squeeze and tug to see if it could survive him pulling it out
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You got it?
[10:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*It came out easily.
[10:02][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he held it up for them
[10:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He went to check it curiously, giving Istrin a grateful nod.
[10:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Istrin held a silvery necklace with a dark stone in the centre up for them all. It was quite obviously a Beryxian style.
[10:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked at eren* It seems they found something
[10:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Imagine that.
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Just a necklace.
[10:04][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Lovely, but we still need to find the team.
[10:04][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:They left in a hurry
[10:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or someone was having fun in the water and lost a necklace
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Or was taken.
[10:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Then they left in a hurry either way keep eyes open Istrin
[10:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Never have known Beryxians to be that careless with their jewelry. But who knows what could have happened.
[10:05][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he checked to see if it was damaged
[10:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Lets go
[10:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "After you.
[10:05][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Follows after Aquila.
[10:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila attemtped to ford the river
[10:06][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Hard to tell.. But the clasp is broken.. they never are durable though.
[10:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Everyone remember where we parked
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor pins the shuttle on his tricorder.
[10:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Our heroes began slowly crossing the shallow part of the river.* (Rolls
[10:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As they crossed, Dali would find that her foot slips on an algae-covered rock and she goes sideways into the water, being carried down current. T'Ghor, meanwhile, had a fish leap up out of the..
[10:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:water and smack him in the face with its gross fish tail, making him slip and fall into the water as well, though without being carried off.
[10:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Everyone else was fine.
[10:10][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Sputter* "Damn...
[10:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He sat up in the water and spit out a few times, trying to get the gross fish tail taste out of his mouth.
[10:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"FUCKING DISGUSTING!
[10:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Gets up to run after Dahlia and try to pick her up over his shoulder.
[10:11][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia tried to get feet under her, and get to the side
[10:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*turned around to see the fishy klingon running after dali
[10:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "You've got to be kidding me...
[10:11][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin crossed safely and went to run a bit downstream and into the water incase T'ghor missed
[10:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he moved down the side bank as well
[10:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Dali would be pushed faster down the river as T'Ghor tore through the water after her.
[10:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She got on the bank and started running with the others.* "Maker's sake...
[10:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Vaax rop
[10:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He tried to catch up to her, hoping his long klingon legs do make it a bit easier for him to walk downstream.
[10:14][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali does what she can to keep from drowning, and get out of the water
[10:14][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li runs down the river bank, trying to help.
[10:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The water was starting to get deeper out there, but Dali could see a fallen tree by the riverbank up ahead that would be easy to grab hold of.
[10:14][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin opened up his handy dandy pack for rope to hand off
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He keeps running through the deep, a bit too focused to see the others' efforts.
[10:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he took the rope and tied it around his waist* Vaax secure
[10:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he kciked hsi boots off and jumpe din the water swiming towards the tree
[10:15][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*grabs for the object to stop her trip
[10:15][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he scurried off to find the nearest thing to secure himself and the rope to
[10:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There were tons of trees, Istrin was in luck.
[10:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(People in the water, roll
[10:16][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*used the current to aid his swim
[10:17][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he tried finding the sturdy looking tree and hurried to secure his end of the rope to it
[10:17][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:most sturdy
[10:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Aquila swam with the current toward his wife, grabbing on to her and the fallen tree just as Dali managed to do the same. T'Ghor, however, while trying to play hero, misjudged the depth of the..
[10:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:river and went splashing and flailing right past the two.
[10:18][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Marcus, I'm good.. grab him.
[10:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck." *He groaned as he tried to grab onto a rock or a tree.
[10:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Neptunes Arse..
[10:18][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Deities T'ghor! *he untied the rope and went further downstream to secure Aquila to the shore again
[10:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he headed headed after t'ghor
[10:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She arrived at the tree where Dali was clinging and offered her hand.
[10:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(T'Ghor and Aquila roll lel
[10:19][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Please don't let there be a waterfall, please don't let there be a waterfall.
[10:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As Istrin said this, he could hear the roar of nearby falls...
[10:20][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali hopes she isn't the victim of the oregon trail, and starts moving herself to the bank and out of the rougher water.
[10:21][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:You got to be KIDDING ME! Hurry up! Waterfall coming! *he shouted at the others
[10:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Aquila quickly caught up to T'Ghor, just missing his hand as the klingon went under again. In a last act of desperation, Aquila grabbed on to the end of T'Ghor's ponytail, tangling his fingers in..
[10:21][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Looking chagrined* "Thank you Eren." *she accepts the help.
[10:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:coarse Klingon hair.
[10:22][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Apologies *he used that to secure an arm under the klingon* VAAX PUL
[10:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Tries to use his feet to push himself off the riverbed and go up again to help the other two.
[10:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Hey, we've all been there." *She helped her onto dry land.
[10:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Swim for the shore we are quickly running out of river
[10:23][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*The poor zoid did his best to pull, looking desperately at Li* Um.. help
[10:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila swam them back against current so they'd be in line with the rope pull
[10:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She nudged Li with her elbow.
[10:24][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li goes to help.
[10:24][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*once up, she thanks Eren again* "Go help them, please.
[10:24][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he dug his feet in and pulled as fast as he could, grunting with every yank and in a strained voice* Bout time.
[10:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Rolls!
[10:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*With a lot of pulling, swimming, cursing, and maybe a little crying too, Aquila and T'Ghor were dragged out of the river and onto the muddy banks at last.
[10:27][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali is trying to get herself together, taking stock of the gear to make sure she isn't needing to go back again, and taking off her jacket
[10:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Spits out some water, laying back on the mud.* "Fuck... thanks.
[10:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he stood up and rotated his shoulders
[10:27][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin flopped to the ground, taking deep breaths
[10:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Something wiggled in T'Ghor's pocket.
[10:28][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he took his jacket off* Now I really wish we had limas
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He grabs whatever is in his pocket and pulls it out.
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He grabs whatever is in his pocket and pulls it out.
[10:28][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he walked back up the bank towards his boots
[10:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*T'Ghor finds a crayfish-like creature with many more legs and a bright purple shell.
[10:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Their gear seemed fine, just wet now.
[10:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Aw. You're cute." *He scanned it into the wet tricorder then let it back into the water.
[10:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Then started slipping his jacket off.
[10:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he put his socks back on and his boots
[10:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*taking his tank off and ringing it out
[10:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he smiled at anne and eren* Somehow i expected i might lose my shirt on a mission with you two.
[10:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I say, next time, we bypass the river and just go in the shuttlecraft." *She smirked at Aquila then.* "It was an inevitability.
[10:32][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali is more concerned with the gear* "Lt, later with that." *she smiles* "Is annyone hurt?
[10:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed. spot transport
[10:32][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin got up to begin rolling the handy rope back up
[10:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Just my pride.
[10:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He looked after the little crawfish swimming happily in the river, licking his lips.* "No... dinner later.
[10:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he put the shirt back on
[10:33][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Clothing will dry we should get moving again
[10:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She reappeared from the trees.* "I found the DNA sample!" *she said brightly.
[10:33][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked for the "and?"
[10:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...Oh! Fecal specimine from a forty-three year old Beryxian male, diet likely consists of mostly carbohydrates.
[10:34][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia wrug out her socks and pulled her boots back on after they were dumped out.
[10:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Huh... How old?
[10:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Three days, approximately.
[10:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Might be conistent with the foot print seen before the detour
[10:36][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Shoud we head to and see if they left tracks
[10:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "So... I guess we have an answer to 'Does a Beryxian shit in the woods?'
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Every species has shat in the woods at some point in its history...
[10:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Don't make me push you back in the water.
[10:37][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rubs his nose.
[10:38][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he looked at Both Eren and T'ghor, nodding at the klingon* I think you'd win that one sir.
[10:38][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I don't hit ladies.
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Except Commander Valkriss, but she'd take offence to being called a lady.
[10:39][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"There should be some other trace we can pick up near it though, something we couldn't pick up from across the river. A trail to follow. Eren, I would bet you are the best with a tricorder, can to?
[10:40][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he put the rope back into its proper spot* No sir, I meant the water fight.
[10:40][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:(care to
[10:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Everyone seems to think it's my magic wand, but I'll give it a try.
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, what're we all standing here for?" *She turned and headed off into the trees. Eren followed.
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He walked off after the other science nerds.
[10:43][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin followed behind
[10:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he followed
[10:44][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li follows.
[10:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They eventually arrived in a small gap in the trees and Eren started waving her magic science box.
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Waved his own magic science box.
[10:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Well the sample's in this area, sure... but I don't see any footprints, it's not as muddy here.
[10:46][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia continued making sure the medical and survival kits were cared for, so they would be reliable later, following.
[10:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(All roll
[10:49][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Wait.. I'm sensing feelings.. *Istrin walked toward the general direction of them, honing in as best he could
[10:50][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Arm yourselves..
[10:50][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Look to the trees, these are not normal.
[10:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...
[10:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The trees moved!
[10:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "...Seriously?
[10:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"i swear to the ancestors, this one moved!" *He points to a tree.
[10:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he readied his carbine
[10:51][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I'm sensing.. the trees? *he stepped back
[10:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The trees are sentient
[10:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...Awesome.
[10:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He tries scanning the tree he thought moved.
[10:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Wrong Marcus for this universe.
[10:52][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Careful, fear and distrust.. *he eyed the trees carefully
[10:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Doc, can you try giving the fucker a medical scan?
[10:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Well they have no reason not to distrust us, we're just over here strolling into their house uninvited.
[10:54][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Yes t'ghor, I'm trying to.. but when you all are not unaware.
[10:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Vaax can you attempt to tell them we aren't here to cause them harm
[10:55][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali does attempt to get better readings, but is wary about getting too close
[10:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A branch suddenly smacked the tricorder right out of Dali's hand.
[10:55][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*smacking the tricorder a bit* "I think i've got water in it..
[10:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey!" *He points to the tree.* "I told you!
[10:56][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Sonof
[10:56][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin tried to assure the trees that there was nothing to worry about from them.. and that they were friends, not food
[10:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "If my first mission ends with T'Ghor fighting a tree I may be okay with this reassignment.
[10:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he relaxed his weapon
[10:59][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali is looking about wary, and moving toward picking up her tricorder
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*His body was tense although he looked at Istrin from time to time, hoping the zoid can talk to trees.
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The leaves rustle above them, a symphony of gentle rustles and the creaking of boughs.
[11:00][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin sat himself down* They're scared? ...I think someone, or something killed one of their own and they're all on edge now.
[11:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The beryxians
[11:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Can you describe the beryxians to them? Ask if that is who killed them?
[11:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They could have tried to take one as a sample
[11:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Aquila.
[11:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "If they're the only sentient beings on this planet, the thought of being cut down on purpose would be traumatic.
[11:02][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:The trees..I'm sure.. *he reached out and showed images of beryxians, waiting for a response
[11:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The rustling became more frantic, the trunks of the trees swaying as they crept closer to each other.
[11:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I don't need to be a telepath to understand that response
[11:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Aquila.
[11:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Can you ask them what happened to the beryxians, Ensign?
[11:04][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Oh dear..*Istrin tried calming them, asking for any type of hint or clue as to where they went
[11:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She took an image of the trees.* "Neat.
[11:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Neat
[11:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "What isn't neat about sentient trees?
[11:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I gotta admit, they're pretty cool.
[11:08][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin got right back up, looking at the ground* Uhm.. beryxian threat eliminated, they got fed to the soil apparently.
[11:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I suppose.
[11:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He sighs.* "T'Vin would have lovved this shit.
[11:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "...Oh. I guess that's not that neat.
[11:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No, that's even more neat.
[11:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Their ship as well?
[11:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Guess they didn't like them littering.
[11:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He tried to very carefully approach a tree, arms raised to show he does not mean harm.
[11:09][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I would assume so? T'ghor please.
[11:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The tree moved some branches to mimic T'Ghor.
[11:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Slowly extends his arm.* "Our people shake hands... or... branches... to show friendlyness and openess to new contact.
[11:09][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"How many were on the Beryxian survey team again
[11:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I would be honored if you would shake my hand... branch.
[11:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Eight, I believe.
[11:09][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*collecting her tool, she does scan* "This is not something that will hurt anyone... it is to understand, not harm.
[11:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The branch smacked T'Ghor's hand.
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh.. sorry.
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He dropped his hand.
[11:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"That is unfortunate.
[11:11][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin tried assuring them again that they're nice people, and asking where the foreigners strange metal box had gone
[11:13][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Definitely intelligent, seems the fungus is acting as if it is a neural net.
[11:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"So the planet itself is sentient
[11:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Damn... that's cool.
[11:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Essentially
[11:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He looks to the tree that slapped his hand.* "You are fascinating life forms. We are glad to meet you.
[11:14][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I think a lot more analysis is needed to decide that, but, it is not simply mechanical reaction. There is sentience.
[11:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A bright green acorn dropped onto T'Ghor's head.
[11:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he kneeled down and looked at the ground
[11:15][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He blinked, taking the acorn, nodding gratefully. "Thank you. I will make sure your kind grows." *He rummaged around his things and offered the tree a pretty little klingon idol depicting an ancesto
[11:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"This is one of my... uh... forest.
[11:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Depending on the extent of the fungal infestation, it may not even be just the trees that are connected.
[11:16][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Mister Vaax.. anything to share on the researchers?
[11:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Held out the meticulously replicated metal idol as a fair exchange.
[11:18][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I think the ship is still around, it's hard, they're communicating through emotions.. *he asked where this 'grove' is located to the trees
[11:19][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he looked at Aquila* I don't think they'll be happy if I ask where the uhm.. invaders burial site will be
[11:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The trees remained still.
[11:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:So don't ask it that way
[11:21][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Mister Vaax, ask them where the foreign contaminents are, so we may remove them from their domain... and leave them in peace.
[11:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The ground began to rumble and shake under them as trees fell back to clear a wider space around them.
[11:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Uh... kid? What did you do, exactly?
[11:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh... maybe they're going to eat us, too.
[11:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Vaax
[11:24][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he looked around* I asked for them to show me where they are at, so we can say our final goodbye before leaving
[11:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The ground split open near where Eren was standing, and she had to scramble out of the way quickly as a filthy, root-wrapped Beryxian shuttle was forced, groaning, out of the soil.
[11:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Holy fuckballs!
[11:25][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Well that explains that
[11:26][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Are they inside
[11:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Jeeeesus Christ on a shit bicycle.
[11:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor clearly never wanted to leave anymore. The trees were his favorite.
[11:26][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he scrambled to Dalli, whispering something to her
[11:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She paused, then took an image of the scene.
[11:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'm reading two Beryxian corpses inside... must've been in there when the thing went down.
[11:28][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali continues scanning, focusing
[11:28][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he took a look around, wondering if any of the bodies we're going to come spitting out sometime soon
[11:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Given th enature of the threat here. I have to suggest we leave as soon as possible.
[11:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think they saw our intentions are friendly.
[11:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "...I have to agree, if we step on the wrong twig that could be us in three days.
[11:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Very well...
[11:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He very carefully secured the little acorn.
[11:30][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Check the shuttle to see if it can be flown out of here, then call for a transport back to our shuttle as soon as possible.
[11:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I don't think that's flying anywhere, doctor.
[11:31][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Li, you concur?
[11:31][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Yeah..
[11:32][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"we are going to need to make a plan for getting that shuttle off the surface.
[11:32][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:If it could get off the ground it would be a miracle performed
[11:32][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin may or may not have been saying a few prayers, to ensure the trees that he wasn't lying entirely
[11:32][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"
[11:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Can't we just ask the trees if they'll allow us to tractor it and bury our dead back in our soil?
[11:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I would be hesitent to call them our dead
[11:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:T'ghor, knees.. Pretend you're praying.. They're still watching us
[11:33][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"We were given the task to find them. Leaveing them behind would not be proper.
[11:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I don't think they'll let us take them back.. They killed one of their own.
[11:34][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed
[11:34][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Is that a though mister Vaax, or something they are communicating to you?
[11:34][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:(thought
[11:34][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Ma'am.. They're wondering if we're done yet.
[11:35][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:THey called the beryxians invaders, destroyers.. monsters even.
[11:35][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Mark it, we will try to have it beemed out when the Pilgrim comes back this way. Let us leave them in peace,
[11:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Look, maybe we shouldn't push our luck while we're standing on a root network that could drag us down into the dirt along with them.
[11:36][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he nodded at Eren* I don't want to die here either.
[11:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Indeed." Lets move
[11:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She waved to the trees.* "See you later, remember, primates are your friends.
[11:37][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he walked past Aquila, whispering something to him
[11:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The trees almost seemed to glare at Orestes.
[11:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded
[11:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was another groan, and the roots pulled the shuttle back into the dirt slowly.
[11:38][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Marcus , have us beemed back to the shuttle, and leave.
[11:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:First group youself orestes li and eren
[11:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he hit his badge and ordere the transport
[11:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*to the computer
[11:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Dali, Orestes, Li, and Eren wooshed off.
[11:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Next us
[11:40][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he dropped something right before they beamed out
[11:40][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin rummaged through his bag for a tracker of some sort to accidently drop with the shuttle
[11:40][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Shuttering, and shaking, not yet comfortable with the beaming process, Dali checks the crew is all there, and hatch shut* "Marcus, get us up.
[11:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They all showed up in the shuttle.
[11:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he sat down and started the lift off
[11:41][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:(shuddering even
[11:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I dropped a beacon
[11:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Save the trees my ass... they seem fine to me.
[11:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Good idea.
[11:41][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin did his best to convey his thanks to the grove
[11:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:T'ghor see if you can't link with that shuttles black box pull what we can
[11:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right.
[11:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He gets on the console and tries to force a way into the shuttle's black box.
[11:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he took them to altitude and set a course over the grove
[11:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:(teamwork) T'ghor use the beryxian security codes we received from our work with MR Ryle
[11:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Approved
[11:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right, thanks. Good to have access to this stuff for once.
[11:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm in. Starting to take the data in.
[11:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Dear diary, this is such a nice planet, know what I'm gonna do? Cut a fucking tree down.
[11:45][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Poor beryxians.
[11:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I have a feeling Blaine would have liked this planet better.
[11:45][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Or they would have liked him better.
[11:45][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Why's that
[11:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It would probably be mutual.
[11:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Eren perhaps we can map that fungal network from inside the shuttle
[11:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*looks to Istrin.* "His girlfriend is some kinda plant person.
[11:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Sure, why not." *She beeped some boops.
[11:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can never pronounce the species... but she's awesome. I hope command will let us grow this acorn with her.
[11:46][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin blinked* Oh
[11:46][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Is he still dating the tree? I thought she would leaf by now.
[11:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Dunno what he sees in her, always barking at him...
[11:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*laughs
[11:47][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali connects the tricorder to share data for the final report.
[11:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He gives both Dali and Eren dirty looks.* "...No.
[11:48][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Maybe he was finally ready to put down roots.
[11:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you're a little jealous, T'Ghor.
[11:48][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:This branch of conversation threates to root its way into the unprofessional
[11:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...
[11:48][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he facepalmed
[11:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I hate puns.
[11:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Ah, don't be a stick in the mud.
[11:49][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he grinned at eren at that one
[11:49][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Perhaps he is right, maybe we should prune this conversation, and nip the puns in the bud.
[11:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I want to sprout wings and fly away.
[11:49][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he then quickly cleared his throat when T'ghor glared at him
[11:50][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As the tree puns continued and the little shuttle waited for the Pilgrim to come back for them, the credits started rolling and the episode became a proper social.*
[11:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he set int eh rendevous course for the pilgrim
[11:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*dropping a warngin beacon
[11:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:So what did we get from the black box
[11:51][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Good idea Marcus.
[11:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Data's still trickling in.
[11:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Eren your scans Iam curious what they revealed
[11:53][DOIC1]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We will try to clear up anything we can
[11:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "It's extensive... may well be planet-wide.
[11:54][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Wow.
[11:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"A planetary mind in a sense.
[11:54][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I'm sure the Captain is going to want analysis from Sciences ... maybe she will come back and put a sensor bouy in orbit to continue study.
[11:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"As long as we do not land. Would be my recommendation.
[11:55][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I back that recommendation fully.
[11:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"When you are the prey you do not walk into the predators den
[11:55][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Gave me a very Wizard of Oz sense.
[11:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The trees are pretty cool. I hope that after I give Dr. Rendino a report and show her the acorn, she allows us to grow it on the Citadel.
[11:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Would be a good experiment on what happens when a tree is born away from the planet.
[11:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It will likely just be a tree.
[11:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Most likely.
[11:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Still pretty cool. Trees are nice.
[11:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I think I am goign to eat something.
[11:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps a Salad
[11:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I feel like fish.
[11:57][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I think I'll stick with seafood for tonight.. *he made a face, shivering
[11:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Or maybe crab.
[11:58][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Me, I'm just looking forwared to a quiet night by a nice wood fire on the holodeck.. maybe a bonfire on a beach.
[11:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I dunno. I can't blame the trees for what they did.
[11:59][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I think it's the fungus .. speaking of which... Eren.. please give us all a good scan to make sure we are not carrying any spores on board.
[12:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I woudl think the transporter biofilters would have taken care of that do you have reason to think it not so Doctor
[12:00][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Is there any reason to risk it?
[12:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "No spores to be seen, doctor. If there were any, filter got them.
[12:01][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"you know I still don't trust the things fully. Eren, I trust.
[12:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he returned back to the pilot console
[12:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*and ate his salad.. that was more steak than salad
[12:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor went to replicate himself some crab sticks.*
[12:02][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he fished the necklace out* They missed this.
[12:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We'll return it to the next of kin of whomever it belonged to.
[12:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The woman it belonged to probably tried to escape in the water
[12:03][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dahlia sits at the back pannel and prepares a report, not feeling much like eating.
[12:03][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Well, I'm sure their relatives would appreciate it still.
[12:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed
[12:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The dangers of space exploration.
[12:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila monitored their course and got some vengeance for the beryxians in solidarity with his non foliage allies
[12:06][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Horny critters, killing trees.. mysterious boxes and giant killer fish.
[12:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The horny critters are kinda on you.
[12:09][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Was not.. I didn't come up with the idea.. I was up in orbit too. I was set up for failure
[12:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He chuckles.
[12:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Looks to Eren to explain.* "He once started a bug orgy.
[12:11][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I... what?
[12:12][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Oh.. Aquila didn't tell you either
[12:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, right, you were off-ship for that.
[12:13][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:None of us participated though! We.. er, watched
[12:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We had him communicate with some man-eating bugs to calm them. He made them fuck.
[12:13][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Not true! I wanted them to go into a different valley, away from our away team
[12:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, yes. But you kinda... did another thing.
[12:14][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:It's not my fault the queen critter was in mating mode or whatever
[12:15][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He chuckles.* "We're just busting your balls. It was pretty cool that you influenced an entire bug colony.
[12:16][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Oh, really? I could see how the mistake happened, I mean, who knows what is in the mind of a bug that makes them mate.
[12:19][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he sat down in a chair and crossed his arms* I took very cold showers that day too
[12:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He laughs.* "Nobody's judging if you're into insectoid races.
[12:21][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:It sstill kind of is a funny story.
[12:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh?
[12:24][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Like who would have guessed that was gonna happen
[12:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nobody.
[12:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's why we all loved it so much.
[12:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Look, who -hasn't- accidentally started an orgy or two?
[12:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"A bug orgy, though?
[12:27][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I will hold my tongue, for he who is without sin should cast the first stone.
[12:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Good idea. Computer, one stone please.
[12:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No stone fights indoors.
[12:28][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Whoa..let's take it easy here please
[12:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "She knows better." *A pause.* "Right?
[12:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.
[12:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "...Sure." *She put the rock back in the replicator.
[12:29][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I don't think I want to explain to the captain why the anyone in the crew got stoned alright? That includes you Eren.
[12:29][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Debatable.
[12:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I mean, she's not Jagoda. That counts for something.
[12:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Wow, thanks. That's like saying 'at least she's not shitting her pants.'
[12:30][DOIC1]Dalliance@Gonz.:"What happened to Mister Jagoda?
[12:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Nothing, if he stays quiet.
[12:31][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Nothing.. he's a he..
[12:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Was that a question?
[12:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You're welcome, Orestes.
[12:32][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:No, no I don't think so.
