Category:Manta Logs
[5:45][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:** We join our heroes who have just come from the official memorial service where posthumous honours were bestowed upon the fallen members of the Manta crew in the sight of fleet command. Now..
[5:46][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:they’ve been asked to join Commander Blaine here in a secluded section of the Citadel gardens. The newly-lain soil is still sprouting with little shoots of multicoloured alien grasses beneath their..
[5:46][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:feet. There are seventeen small saplings in sacks positioned in a circle around them, as well as enough shovels for each of the attendees set out neatly in the middle. As they arrive Blaine is..
[5:47][DOIC]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:standing in the center and motions to them to form up around the circle. *
[5:47][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Thank you all for coming. I know we just went through the full routine with the memorial service, but I thought we needed something a bit more private. Something just for us.
[5:48][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Everyone, if you’d be so kind, grab a shovel and indulge me for a moment." *He motioned to the pile in the middle.
[5:48][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she grabbed a shovel
[5:48][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore grabbed onto a shovel as well.
[5:49][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri looks a bit confused, but grabs a shovel.-
[5:49][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Picked up a shovel gave a nod.
[5:50][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He took one as well, setting the blade down into the soft dirt.* "I won’t take this time to rehash what happened to us. We were all there, or at least learned the details after the fact. Today..
[5:50][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:isn’t about blaming ourselves for not doing things differently or wondering what might have been now that we’re all benefiting from hindsight. Hell, it’s not even about holding the Tanausans..
[5:51][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:responsible for the atrocities they’ve committed. Today is for us; more importantly, those of us who didn’t make it back.
[5:51][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia likewise takes a shovel and holds it by her side
[5:51][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Nods solemnly.
[5:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked at the crew for a long moment, then nodded once back to Bore.* "Most of you probably know that before I joined this crew and long before anyone ever had the idea to put me in charge of..
[5:52][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Glanced off to the side and shifted uncomfortably.
[5:52][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:anything more important than the gamma shift security rotation, I served under Captain Cristian Valais on the U.S.S. Argentina. Valais had a tradition; whenever he lost someone under his command..
[5:53][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:he would pick a tree or suitable perennial from that person’s home world to have planted in a controlled grove at his home back on Earth. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I don’t have a nice house in..
[5:53][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:he Quebec countryside and neither am I going to be able to import any Milky Way plants for a while. However, what I do have is access to a number of botanists I’ve been able to barter with for..
[5:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:clones of what tree species we do have here on the Citadel, as well as access to our friend Eirene who has very kindly agreed to expand the space allocated to the gardens. Considering what we..
[5:54][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:experienced during our… absence, I can think of no one more suitable to act as caretaker of our memorial grove when we get back out in the field.
[5:57][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He paused a moment before he shifted his jaw and continued.* "A loss of seventeen souls on any ship would be a tragedy; on a ship the size of the Manta it’s... well, I don't think I need to..
[5:58][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:go further. It won’t ever be the same. It can’t. However, someone a lot smarter than I am once told me that death is not an end but a transformation. That the purpose of death, its natural..
[5:59][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:purpose, was to inspire life to flourish. I sure as hell wish it didn’t have to be that way, but that’s nature for you. So now, as we commit new lives to the soil, we do so in remembrance of our..
[6:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:crew mates whose sacrifices have given us the privilege of being able to stand here today. In remembrance of our friends and colleagues that are not only part of all of us, but who will now be..
[6:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:part of Eirene and the Citadel for all time. Hell… it goes beyond even that. When we beat the Imperium, the other hostile Apostates, and everyone else who has been holding this galaxy in the grip..
[6:00][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:of Terror for the last few million years, then regardless of whatever else happens none of us will have ever truly died. We will all be alive in every person born free in the LMC, who lives never..
[6:01][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:having to know what Nirizean mind torture is like, or why everyone in our time absolutely hates the Coln, or having heard of things like Red Blight or Elder Obsidian. As far as I’m concerned..
[6:01][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:they’ll be the ultimate memorial to our fallen. But until that day comes…
[6:02][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He would then swing the shovel down into the ground near the first sapling, burying it as deep as it would go before scooping out a fair amount of rich, dark soil and dumping it out beside the new..
[6:03][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:hole.* "This one is for Lieutenant Junior Grade Pamella Detrick, Flight Operations.
[6:03][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded to the others to start digging.
[6:03][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore nodded and stuck his shovel into the dirt, digging up a patch and tossing it aside.
[6:04][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she stepped up and did hers. Lieutenant Junior Grade Merrilee "Ducky" Malliard
[6:04][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri stabs the dirt with her shovel, clearly letting it know that it must give way for the new saqpling.-
[6:05][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Lieutenant JG Obihr th'eryvis.
[6:05][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:This tip of the shovel strikes dirt, going only about halfway. She makes a shallow hole only about eight inches
[6:05][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine nodded at T'Lena and Bore. As they called out the names, Eirene would have a little plaque materialise nearby.
[6:06][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Tooks his shovel in hand and the looked at his shiny boots. He stabs the shovel into the ground and steps on it with the shiny boots.* "Ensign Albee Mickien.
[6:07][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore made sure to have a nice hole before planting tree-Obi.
[6:07][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Petty officer Ragtug,
[6:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:“You’ll want them to be half a meter deep and wide. Place them in with the sacks; they’re nutrient-rich and break down to slowly release them as the trees grow. Just fill the holes as best you can.
[6:08][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:so there’s no air pockets, pack it firmly and make sure they remain upright.
[6:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Kept digging to the Commander's specifications and then he smirked and chuckled.* "Let's be honest Cap, the Albee tree is probably gonna fall over a few dozen times. He was such a clutz." *His smil
[6:09][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:boradens as he thought about it.
[6:09][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He would continue to move around the circle, making sure to get the rest of the holes started while the others working.* "That's what caretakers are for, Ens--- Lieutenant.
[6:10][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she took another* "Lt Junior Grade Dranob Blot.
[6:10][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore smiled sadly and shook his head.* "Not my first time planting things.
[6:10][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--after digging the correct size hole, Ezri carefull takes the nearby sapling and check the name on it.
[6:10][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore got his second sapling after filling the first one's hole.* "Chief Petty Officer Regina Williams.
[6:11][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Another stab at the soil gets it to the proper depth, and she meticulously carves out a circle at the proper width
[6:11][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she did the one she'd been dreading
[6:11][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*He made sure the hole was right and then started placing the tree and watched it flop over.* "Yup, that's Albee." *He tried to straighten the tree, and kneeled down to correct it.
[6:11][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Carefully placed the second sapling into a new hole and then started filling it.
[6:12][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Lt Junior GRade Magreilr
[6:12][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Lieutenant Junior Grade Rolanda Gadsen, security." *He eyed the hole.* "She would've made fun of me for doing this, but not to my face.
[6:13][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Obihr would have told me I'm wasting my time, probably. Williams would have liked the idea.
[6:13][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Filled the Williams' sapling's hole.
[6:14][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*seems aloof a moment
[6:14][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Cradling the root ball with one hand, and steadying the trunk with the other Dacia slowly lowers the tree into the hole. A few seconds spent lining it perfectly straight upright and she'll star
[6:14][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:packing the dirt
[6:14][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Filled the sappling hole once he had the Albee tree straightened.* "Albee sneezed all the time he would complain about his allergies if he saw this.
[6:15][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Petty officer Zucorzi..." *He started diggign a new hole.
[6:16][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Once the tree was planted he smiled and started to dig a new hole.
[6:16][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*With most of the holes already started he went back to Gadsen's and knelt down in the dirt, starting to plant the sapling by hand.
[6:18][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Don't worry about watering... Eirene keeps a good eye on the climate controls in here.
[6:18][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:As a final touch, she removes a slip of latinum from her pocket, and pushes it into the dirt alongside the tree in tribute to the Ferengi
[6:19][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore fills up Zucorzi's hole, then moves onto the next one, wiping his hands on his dress uniform.
[6:19][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Petty officer Aria Silver. Energetic as all shit. She'd hate that she missed gladiator fights.
[6:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine chuckled softly. It wouldn't take much longer before the group had all of the saplings planted in the ground.
[6:21][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*As he finished up with the last tree Blaine stood back up, walking over to the center of the grove again.
[6:22][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore had one more sapling to himself - Crewman Katerine Marshall and had finished up as well, looking up to Blaine.
[6:22][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He glanced down at the dirt on his dress uniform.* "Well, at least the Admiral didn't see us like this," *he offered.
[6:23][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Looked down at his uniform and smirked.* "Worth it if she had.
[6:23][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"What's the worst she could do?
[6:23][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He set his shovel in the dirt again, leaning his hands on it and chuckling.* "Fair enough.
[6:23][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"In any case... With this grove, we memorialize our fallen. We can’t change what’s already happened, but we can be damned sure that it doesn’t ever happen to us again. Next time, we’ll be ready.
[6:24][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He took a moment to look at the faces of the assembled crew.* "This is my promise to you all, here and now; they will never take us again. The Tanausan Imperium didn’t learn their lesson the..
[6:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:first time when we brought down their attempt to take Kzar. Maybe they didn’t get the memo that we had a new ship, but we made sure they at least got our name right after we left IOC-28 a smoking..
[6:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:crater behind us. They can never truly pay for what they’ve done and what they’ve taken, but we’re sure as hell still gonna charge them. Today we mourn, but soon we get back in the fight and make..
[6:25][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:sure they don’t get the chance to do this to any of our other friends, allies, or brothers and sisters of the stars. It’s what they’d have wanted. It’s what they inspire me to do.
[6:26][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:"Strength and honor," She states in that dull monotone
[6:27][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Blaine.* "Ten of them for every one of us.
[6:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He cracked a smirk at Bore.* "Forget a grove, Ristovski, we'll make the Tannies plant a whole damned forest.
[6:28][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nodded in agreement.* "Damn straight.
[6:28][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Now, get the hell off my lawn. Eirene kindly had some of our crew mates’ favourite dishes and drinks prepared for us in VIP room 8.
[6:28][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Sounsd good to me.
[6:28][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The forest -and- the drinks.
[6:29][DOIC1]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He wiped his hands off again and headed off for the VIP room.
[6:30][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:"I'll catch up, one thing I need to see to first.
[6:30][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri quietly staqres at the small grove of new trees, tyhen down at her hands at the dirt-
[6:30][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Bed Aoi, copai'eri shikean, flaihhelh rrh hwio.
[6:30][DOIC1]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she said stepping away from the group
[6:31][DOIC1]Zhal@Jabroc:*Started off in the direction of the medical ward.
[6:32][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Sat down on a couch in the VIP room with a sigh.* "Fucking hell.
[6:32][DOIC1]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--after a moment she wiped the dirt off her hands aqnd turned and headed out-
[6:33][DOIC1]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine waited for the others to depart before letting out a long breath, turning to look back at the grove for a long moment.
[6:33][DOIC1]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia pushed the tip of the shovel into the dirt and left it there, standing. Without a word she spins on her heels and walks away
[6:34][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The room had many platters of foods both bizarre and beautiful. Bore would immediately see an assortment of hot wings on one table.
[6:35][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Wel... to the Manta." *He got himself some hot wings and some beer, loading up on fries too.
[6:36][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she enters
[6:36][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia enters the VIP room soon after, staring blankly at the buffett laid out before her, she selects a can of Slug O' Cola, and pulls open the tab with a hiss
[6:36][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*retreiving a fauxhito and a plate of finger foods
[6:36][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*sat down next to ezri
[6:36][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"See ezri i told you you'd be reinstated eventually
[6:39][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Enters the private room and approaches the bar. Holding a medical PADD and typing into it.
[6:40][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena drank and ate some.
[6:40][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*t'lena drank and ate some.
[6:40][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Dacia have a seat
[6:40][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*The bar in the private room was self serve and stocked with a number of different varieties of liquor and nonalcoholic beverages.
[6:40][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"May I join you, Lietenant." She says with a dull stare Bore's way as she approaches his couch
[6:40][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Nods
[6:40][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri sighs and takes a drink of her Jumja cola-
[6:41][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Reaches for an alcholic beverage but stops as he types at the PADD and reaches for a juice with a sigh.* "Damn it...
[6:42][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine arrived then, having donned a clean jacket.
[6:42][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Eats and drinks in silence for now.
[6:42][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Doctors always limiting the booze." *He grabs a plate of various foods and his juice and then sits at a nearby table.
[6:42][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:She sits, she lifts the can of soda to her lips but does not drink. "Were you very close, to the deceased Lietuenant?
[6:43][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Some of 'em. Worked with Obi ever since I was an ensign.
[6:43][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well thats because alcohol is a blood thinner. Zhal.
[6:44][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"though when you need to thin blood because of a fear of clotting due to trauma it can actually be useful.
[6:44][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Knew Gadsen and Blot well enough, too.
[6:44][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I know... I know..." *He fake pouts and then continues typing as he takes small bites.
[6:46][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"I did not know any of them. I only saw Petty Officer Ragtug's body while we were in our cells. It made me sad to see her that way. I mourn all the same." Her head spins to Bore. "I am sorry for you
[6:46][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:losses.
[6:46][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*Blaine fetched himself a beer from the bar.
[6:46][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He nodded slightly.* "Thank you. Lost fuckin' half of engineering.
[6:47][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Continues typing into the PADD and then tilts his head.* "Not answering that question... not relevant to the current situation.
[6:47][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Marshall got torn in half by a latejo bastard. I made the smug son of a bitch burn. Didn't give him a quick exit.
[6:48][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He brought his drink over to the group, settling down into a chair without a word.
[6:48][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Does that make it better? Does knowing that you did that lessen the pain?
[6:49][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she sat quietly
[6:50][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"A bit. But not enough.
[6:50][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Glances at Marcus and T'lena for a quick second and sighs then enters their names into the PADD. He then gets up and starts back to the Medical Ward.* "Just shoot me now..." *He mutters as he leaves
[6:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she eyes him leaving then drinks
[6:51][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*he glanced after Zhal, too.
[6:51][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] *Dr Zeliza Prix sat in her office going through paperwork that would be sent to the symbiosis comission about the state of the joined in this galaxy. She got to a file on Eren and simpl
[6:51][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"What's up with him?" *To Blaine
[6:52][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:shuffled it to the bottom
[6:52][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Never had to deal with something like this before, I reckon. Not in this lifetime, anyway.
[6:52][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"With Zhal, not in any.
[6:52][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You'd think having a couple more lifetimes makes it easier...
[6:52][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"That's the thing bore. It never gets easier
[6:52][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Enters the medical ward and hands the PADD he has been working on to the receptionist.* "Lt. Alerio Zhal, here to see Dr. Prix.
[6:53][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Not until you get cold
[6:53][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"This is so much worse than fuckin' Xert.
[6:54][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia touches the can to her lips and takes a tiny sip. "It tastes like regret.
[6:54][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Xert was an outlier.
[6:54][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"But also my first time sending someone to death.
[6:54][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"It would have been much worse without whatever the hell happened with the Aspects
[6:55][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Receptionist] Head right in
[6:55][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Though maybe that did make it worse, that we were just out of range
[6:56][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*He took a slow deep breath and walked in to the exam room.
[6:56][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That we just got unlucky when everyone else literally rose from the dead?" *He eyed his drink.
[6:57][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, Doctor. Not fuckin' helping.
[6:57][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He took a deep breath.* "Sorry.
[6:57][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Its alright Bore.
[6:58][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Hello Zhal I am Dr Prix, and yes I am a starfleet officer only linked with teh commission. I take care of all of our joined here on the citadel
[6:58][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He shook his head.* "None of this is. Our crew wouldn't want us to be moping.
[6:59][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Right, I'm... nevermind. Nice to meet you Doctor.
[6:59][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Ducky would if only to make fun of us for crying about her later.
[7:00][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] So I know you filled out the questionaire. Shall we get started with a full scan
[7:00][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i suppose it does not do any good anyway.
[7:00][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Actually for some species its very necessary.
[7:01][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Crying?
[7:01][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Yes.
[7:01][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*He unclasps his dress unicorm and unzips the jacket and takes it off.* "Let's get this started.
[7:01][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] lay back
[7:01][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she shrugs-- "necessary perhaps. But still does not fix anything.
[7:01][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she starts the scan on him
[7:02][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Anything you want to tell me about that can't be scanned for
[7:02][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"This isn't really fixable. But it is something we can take our payback for, as Blaine said. For now... we just rest and get the Manta back in shape.
[7:02][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"The ultimate patient of grief is the self.
[7:02][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Fortunatley Future eirene atleast did that structurally.
[7:03][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Not crew-wise
[7:03][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Oh, the Manta's running better than ever after our dip into the-- what she said.
[7:03][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"My records indicate only two hosts in my past. But I now have access to a third who presents in hallucinations. It started several months ago, but after our... torture he became more present.
[7:03][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"You've all been seeing your counselors like I ordered, right?" *He eyed the group.
[7:03][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, but we need to get people. Me in particuclar. Engineering got hit hardest, and I'd like some time to allow people to acclimatize to teh ship.
[7:03][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Not just visual hallucinations, but tactile, auditory, and visual hallucinations.
[7:04][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] You are far to young for Zalen's Syndrome
[7:04][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] But perhaps... telll me about the two hosts you are suppose to have
[7:04][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He looked to Blaine, then looked to the others.
[7:04][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"The ship will never be ready until it has adequate defensese against a VIA intrusion.
[7:04][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We're going to be getting new crew, and running them through the welcome-aboard phase as quick as we can.
[7:05][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:T'lena the manta is a refit of an old Saber. We could rip out some of the itnerconnection.
[7:05][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Way I see it, only adequate defence is a VIA of our own. Why hasn't the Project developed one yet?
[7:05][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Several ships do have VICI's.
[7:06][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He looked at Ezri a moment, his grip on his beer tightening slightly.* "That's why we had the OctaVIA. Why every ship in the fleet has it. You left it in the science lab.
[7:06][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"it isn't necessarily true that the only asequate defense is another AI,
[7:06][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"The first Cinria Zhal, the smart and sweet archeologist, not a fan of Romulans... but she had a bad experience, then there is Enri Zhal witty, funny, chef for Star Fleet.
[7:06][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia stands and moves over to sit closer to Ezri, "Is that the preparation you meant when you expressed guilt over the death of your team?
[7:07][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"...What now?" *To Blaine.
[7:07][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she looks at Dacia-- "I guess so.
[7:07][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It doesn't matter now. We'll have it on the bridge at all times from now on.
[7:08][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Fucksake, Ezri." *He threw his glass to the floor at Ezri's feet, shattering it, and stomped off.
[7:08][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Ristovski!" *he barked after Bore.
[7:08][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He turned around.* "What?
[7:08][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Come back here. Now.
[7:09][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Here I am..." *He stood and looked into Blaine's eyes, taking a few deep breaths.
[7:10][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He stood up as well, staring back at Bore then nodding once.* "Walk if off. Then you come back and apologise to Lieutenant Tegan. Understood?
[7:11][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"There is no need to apologize. Really.
[7:11][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Understood. I'll be back." *He turned around and exited to pace around the promenade.
[7:11][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i know I can be annoying.
[7:11][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:[Eirene] "Here, hon... let me take care of that." *The glass and beer was dematerialised.
[7:12][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Hmm and this third host
[7:12][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"I regret my question," she says dully. "It was not my intention to assign blame. In fact it was the opposite. If we invested the time and energy to prepare for every possible problem, we might neve
[7:12][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:undock again.
[7:13][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"The Octavia would not have helped anyway infact it would have guaranteed our destruction.
[7:13][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He turned back to Ezri then.* "There's no excuse for it, regardless." *He then looked at T'Lena.* "How do you figure?
[7:13][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Because once the command carrier realized we couldn't be captured easily. it would have simply destroyed us.
[7:13][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Claims that his name is Valkier Zhal, mercenary all around criminal. His memories are intigrating into my mind. I can remember him his events. Even had a dream where the others remembered him as wel
[7:14][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"And given numbers and the jump they had on us for stopping the chantry
[7:14][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Resistance in that situation would have been a total loss.
[7:14][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:They tried to shield me from him, but, I have never heard of this even happening. Doctor, and I know the rumors from the SC, if a joined trill starts talking to themselves there is serious cause fo
[7:14][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:conern.
[7:15][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He exhaled a sigh.* "You know, I hate when you do that thing where you're probably right." *he sat back down and gulped his beer.
[7:15][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] There is, there are several cases of Repressed hosts its somethign the commission doesn't like to admit to doing. its Typically reserved for hosts taht die quickly due to rejection or acciden

[7:15][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"The only thing that could have saved us would have been if they had not been able to sneak up on us...
[7:16][DOIC2]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Walked back and forth on the promenade, stopping to gaze out of one of the viewport, then sighed and turned back.
[7:16][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Then there was the case of the Zhalen symbiote which spent some time in the hands of criminals and due to advanced age developed an inability to actually merge, each conciouness acting complet
[7:16][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:independent within the whole. But Zalen is at 14 hosts
[7:16][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:Not 3 or 4 such is this case
[7:17][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Which would've only been if we hadn't been trying to stop the Chantry from nuking the Beryxian star.
[7:17][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] *she looks over the scans
[7:17][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Great... medical marvel...so... what you are saying is?
[7:18][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Walked back in and headed to Ezri.* "Look. I'm sorry, Ezri. You're my friend, and it wasn't right for me to take it out on you. Or on anyone not tannie. I'm sorry.
[7:18][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] I don't know yet. Theres also the possibility however slight that Zalkier is in your unjoined minds creation
[7:18][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He gave Bore an approving nod.
[7:18][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Its okay. I understand.
[7:19][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] and given the nature of the galaxy we live in here soemthign has made a fear real. I think after what happened with Dax which is a commonly taught case to young hopefuls now wher ethe comissio
[7:19][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:had to admit this possibility the idea of a hidden host is a fear that exists within many who are joined
[7:20][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"There's gonna be a lot of that in the time to come. I know I'm fucking pissed and devastared, too. But that's what the Dark wants. Why her people do the shit they do.
[7:20][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He sat back down and rubbed his face.
[7:20][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's effective, and it makes us disorganized. We can't let them win.
[7:21][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] How does Zalkier manifest
[7:21][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods as he listens.* "Well we are at war, I'm flying into hell every mission. So fear kinda goes with the job, but I am a well trained pilot so its managable.
[7:21][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You're right, of course. I'll try to bottle up the agression for when we need it.
[7:21][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] And when exactly did he start
[7:22][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Damn right. I need you to harness the power of your blind fury to hold my ship together." *He grinned at Bore.
[7:23][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Easier said than done. You're every engineer's worst nightmare, with some of the shit you ask us to do.
[7:23][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I don't think anything comes close to the shit over Kzar, though. The Protektor was supposed to be dead hours before Zhaixe actually killed it.
[7:24][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yeah, but the perks make it worth it. Name another CO who'd let you keep the still going.
[7:24][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You don't see me transferring out, do you?
[7:24][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Zhaixe wasn't on the Protektor, Ristovski. You're thinking the one with a C.
[7:24][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Shit, you're right. Too many P names.
[7:25][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Eh, it's my fault for getting cheeky with the name.
[7:25][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well technically it was named the Beshundsritte
[7:25][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Mostly as an dick." *Blushes slightly.* "He showed up when I was hurt, and when I was angry mostly.
[7:25][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"that just translated to protector"
[7:25][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] And what did he want
[7:25][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yeah, but I can't pronounce Besh... that.
[7:25][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Protector is easier to pronounce.
[7:26][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"No, I don't think most of us can.
[7:26][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"The UT spoiled all of you.
[7:26][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"In prison he wanted to break out and run rampant, this morning. Just wanted to advise me and try to goade me into a fight.
[7:27][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"If I wanted to do languages, I'd have become a linguist.
[7:27][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Unfortunatley as you know i can't get a fresh update from the commission
[7:27][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Unfortunatley as you know i can't get a fresh update from the commission
[7:27][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] So we are going to treat this as a Symbiotic emergencence of a repressed personality until we can verify
[7:28][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:"Even if we could. Would they even admit to it?
[7:28][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] I am going to prescribe you some Beta-IsoBoramine blockers
[7:29][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"With all the times I've been hit in the head, I'm thankful I can still pronounce words in my own language.
[7:29][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Oh trust me they have learned to not withhodl thigns from starfleet
[7:29][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she laughs
[7:29][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"At least you haven't been punched by a latejo yet.
[7:29][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Gave a nod to the prescription and sighed at the last part.* "Alright, lets just hope this works.
[7:30][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Who says I haven't?
[7:30][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Good point.
[7:30][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"well yeah if they punched you in the head you may not remember it.
[7:30][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Whenever the concuiousness starts to emerge take two capsules
[7:30][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Whenever the concuiousness starts to emerge take two capsules
[7:31][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, you remember their punches, trust me.
[7:31][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] You can overdose but only if you take 30 capsules in a 26 hr perio
[7:31][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Have you been punched by a Latejo, Commander?
[7:31][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*He nods again.* "Yeah.. I don't think Doctor T'lena would let me do that. I am assuming you'll be forwarding the report to the CMO and Commander Blaine?
[7:32][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] At the same time I am going to reference you to Dr Arin Soran in Psychology
[7:32][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He glanced at Dacia.* "A few times." *He drained his beer and got up to get another one.
[7:32][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:"Is it very different than being punched by a Klingon, or a Naussican?
[7:32][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Yes, Dr Soran is a betazoid which means she will be able to determine if this is something other than a leaking conciousness
[7:33][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I wouldn't know, only klingon that has punched me has been a fake one in a shared vision thing we had.
[7:33][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Depends on the Klingon, but comparable. Nausicaan, it's been a while since one of them hit me so my memory's fuzzy. But it wasn't great, either.
[7:33][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] While I work on some research. If we confirm this is an emergent the only solution will be a guided zhian'tar
[7:33][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods.* "He is so not going to like this, but understood. I'd rather get answers than keep seeing him and listening to him ramble on about nonsense.
[7:34][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Where we either merge the conciousness. or Excise it forever
[7:34][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] The latter being a last resort
[7:35][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nods.* "I agree, while I am not fond of him. His experiences and knowledge have a use.
[7:35][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i think it comes down to muscle mass. I have never been hit by any of them they all growl pretty much the same.
[7:35][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] With luck the Blockers will stop the manifestation
[7:35][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He returned with a new beer.* "Ristovski, you bring any of that moonshine?
[7:35][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] and may even stop it all together if this is caused by trauma from interaction with a Nirizean
[7:35][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Now that's just incorrect, Ezri. There's something about the waay nausicaa... Uh. Sure, I can grab some.
[7:36][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*He nods again.* "Thank you Doctor Prix, and thank you for your time. I know your busy.
[7:36][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*chuckles and sips her fake drink
[7:36][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"If you'd be so kind." *he sat down.
[7:36][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:you're
[7:36][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He stepped out to grab bottles.
[7:37][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] Well I am the only specialist we were suppose to have 6. 5 of them were on vacation when Artesia stopped working.
[7:37][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] But don't hesitate also Dr T'lena knows alot about trill as well romulan Eidetic memory and because of Zhaixe she learned
[7:37][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] So don't wait to see me
[7:37][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*He winces at that and stands up putting his jacket back on.* "I wont keep you any longer.
[7:38][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:Dacia rises from her seat. "I believe I will take this opportunity to explore the Citadel further. Thank you for allowing me to mourn for you.
[7:38][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[Prix] it really is no trouble Zhal. We'll figure this out. Medicine is a team sport
[7:38][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:((WITH you)
[7:38][DOIC4]T'lena@Captain_Rien:[prix] Or something like that, never really been a sports person myself
[7:38][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Sure, Lieutenant... thank you for coming.
[7:38][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri waves goodbye to Dacia.-
[7:39][DOIC4]Zhal@Jabroc:*He smirked.* "Same." *He turned and started out the door.
[7:39][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*wave to the gyndroid.
[7:39][DOIC3]Dacia@nathan#353:She turns, deposits the still full can of Slug O' Cola in the replicator to be reprocessed and leaves
[7:40][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Reentered the bar and swiped a large glass of blue liquid.
[7:40][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Returns with a couple of bottles with a slight golden tint now.* "You get grape this time.
[7:41][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"You made wine moonshine?
[7:41][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"You're gunning for a spot as my favourite, Ristovski," *he grinned, then motioned for Zhal to join them.
[7:41][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"It's not really anything close to wine.
[7:41][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Imagine it as grape brandy.
[7:41][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"That's just offensive.
[7:41][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--Ezri's PADD beeps and she picks it up and looks at it.--
[7:42][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Sets his glass on the table and sits down leaning back in the chair.* "Besides don't you make that in the ship nacels?
[7:43][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore brings some glasses over and pours himself and Blaine one, as wel las anyone else who wanted.
[7:43][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"-Close- to the nacelles, not -in- them.
[7:43][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's very sterile, Lieutenant. Antibacterial, even.
[7:43][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He took the glass with a nod to Bore.
[7:43][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Zhaixe only banned the still on the protector after all.
[7:43][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"No wonder when I push us into slipstream there is that slight kick before we jump.
[7:44][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"That's just the delay on the turbocharger.
[7:44][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Technically, Zhaixe was the only one who had a ban imposed. Asada didn't care, I am not sure if Desiree knew, Zhaixe... Well, I shot myself in the foot.
[7:44][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Desiree knew.
[7:44][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I gave Zhaixe a bottle to welcome her to the ship.
[7:44][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It wasn't hard to do that with Zhaixe.
[7:44][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"She just didn't care about much of anything at that time.
[7:44][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Man, I was just trying to be friendly.
[7:45][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*he chuckled, then lifted his glass of moonshine.* "Regardless... we haven't yet had a toast. Let's fix that.
[7:45][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore raised his glass.
[7:45][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she raised her glass
[7:45][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*The pill bottle in his pocket rattles slightly as he shifts in his seat and he lifted his glass.
[7:45][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--sh raised her glass of Jumja cola-
[7:46][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"To absent friends." *He clinked their glasses in the middle.
[7:46][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she toasts* To absent friends.
[7:46][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He then drank.
[7:46][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Clinked the glasses and nodded then took a drink.
[7:46][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she drinks to that.-
[7:46][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"To absent friends." *He downed some of the burning drink.
[7:47][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He winced slightly, then shook his head.* "Jeez, Ristovski, maybe the nacelles are starting to leak," *he teased.
[7:48][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"This one is an older batch, has had more time to mature properly.
[7:48][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I think I made it shortly after the Nexus Two thing.
[7:48][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Damn. Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?
[7:48][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Yeah.
[7:49][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Looked around the table and smirked.
[7:49][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"It really does... What happened to that kzari STD? Is it still ravaging our crew?
[7:49][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I cured it.
[7:49][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*he chuckled.* "Contained, thanks to our ever diligent doctor.
[7:49][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"All of Kzar is in your debt, Doctor.
[7:49][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Wait... what?
[7:49][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Someone decided to fuck kzari because of course they did, Zhal.
[7:49][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It was before your time, Zhal. Who was it that caught the Kzari Klap... Hunkler?
[7:49][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Not someone.
[7:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Hunkler and the Kzari Princess.
[7:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"It actually wasn't an STD.
[7:50][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Well... was she hot?
[7:50][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Wait, what was it then?
[7:50][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"There was a princess? Aren't they technically an oligarchy of some sorts?
[7:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"it was a biolimiter weapon to target the unpure genetics.
[7:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Rememebr her family were nobles and once Party.
[7:50][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Ouch.
[7:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"She didn't even know it was in her DNA.
[7:50][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"
[7:51][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh. So not a real princess. I thought I'd missed something important.
[7:51][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I just put out a broadcast about a widescale illness because i couldn't have been sure there weren't others
[7:51][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Don't let the Tannies hear about that, or it'll be the next thing they steal.
[7:51][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"But was she hot?
[7:51][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Very.
[7:51][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Worth it.
[7:51][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He laughed and took another drink.
[7:51][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*laughs
[7:51][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I dunno. Something about their cat eyes creeps me out.
[7:52][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Dunno. They're... exotic.
[7:52][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Exotic can be hot.
[7:52][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Technically sir if they Imperium wants any Kzari party technology they may already have it.
[7:52][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"they would actually.
[7:53][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I honestly find Skara hotter.
[7:53][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...So no to cat eyes, but yes to snake tails?
[7:53][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"What's more exotic than being completely different body types?
[7:53][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Bore... you have a complex.
[7:54][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Old news, Zhal.
[7:54][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"You enjoy being choked dont you?
[7:54][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she seems like she wants to say something then doesn't and eats a virinak bite
[7:54][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"If I didn't I wouldn't be engaged to Nadine.
[7:54][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*chuckles
[7:54][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Well if you get lonely I'll send Lysa to visit.
[7:54][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Who?
[7:55][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"You should've seen the marks on his neck that he used to report to duty with.
[7:55][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"His Skaran roomate.
[7:55][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"That was a rash from my sweater, Blaine.
[7:55][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"She's Hazard.
[7:55][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh! The skara girl. Seen her around, never asked her name.
[7:55][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"A rash that just happens to mimic rope burn... or human fingers...
[7:55][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Very sweet, got me a wicked flight sim... if those Tannie bastards found it I am going to be pissed.
[7:56][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, she must have came in on the last batch with Lornalynn.
[7:56][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Shrugs to Blaine.* "You must have been seeing things.
[7:56][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"yes.
[7:57][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Awful fucking timing." *He shook his head and poured more into his glass.
[7:57][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"How is the Irushey working in engineering?
[7:57][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... As I explained to Lornalynn, shit like that isn't the norm.
[7:57][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"She's grade A. Without her I'd have barely held down the fort long enough when Zhal flew us into the storm.
[7:58][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He took a long drink.* "Almost had it.
[7:58][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Irushey are insanely smart, I heard. Doesn't surprise me.
[7:58][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Plus, she's super tiny. Can crawl around all kinds of places a lot faster than I can.
[7:59][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Mine living. I bet she's great in the dark, too.
[8:00][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Best power systems tech I could have ever asked for.
[8:00][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Chuckles and keeps his damn mouth shut.
[8:01][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*sips
[8:01][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well, we'll be recrewing now, so maybe I'll be able to sweet talk Compton into giving you another one.
[8:02][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"You actually know how to sweet talk?" *Tilts his head.
[8:03][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:'Admiral Compton can only be sweet talked by Talia.
[8:03][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He eyed Zhal with that.* "The wonders of the universe never cease, Lieutenant.
[8:03][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"We have a robot in science now so we are proabably good...even I did lose half my people.
[8:03][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"But you'd still be surprised by him, Zhal.
[8:04][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He drank.
[8:04][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"She's not exaclty a robot.
[8:04][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"He already scared the shit out of me at the Golden Rod, man just appears out of thin air.
[8:04][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she looks concerned-- "is the term robot concidered deragatory?
[8:04][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"No it jus trefers to soemthing thats mroe of a machine than intelligence.
[8:04][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"She's sort of like Shay.
[8:05][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Correction, I appeared from behind many naked golden bodies.
[8:05][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Though Shay is a completley different method of achieving the end goal.
[8:05][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"After I came off the antigrav dance stage. Like I said scared me, just appearing like that. I need a little warning.
[8:05][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Dacia was someone copying Soongs homework in a sense.
[8:06][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Speaking of Shay... The fuck's up with her and Damian? I am totally lost there now.
[8:06][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Shay is a much older design but iterated on.
[8:06][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Damian's still aboard?
[8:06][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"She's been pulle dback to citadel on long term assignment.
[8:06][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh, right. Well I will have to ask Dacia what I should call her.
[8:06][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Codebreaking.
[8:06][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Call her... Dacia.
[8:06][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"or something above my paygrade to know.
[8:06][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"He missed the whole kidnapping thing due to a training course I'd had him take on the Citadel. Lucky b astard.
[8:07][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Did he even attend the course?
[8:07][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Jus tliek Cathy and Shay heading back right before.
[8:07][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"But no, Doctor. I mean their weird-ass relationship.
[8:07][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Oh i have no idea.
[8:07][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I'd hope so. Haven't had the time to actually check the feedback yet." *He shrugs to Blaine
[8:08][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Its dsifunctional, wild and unpredictable. So i'd say she's fully gained the ability to have a normal humanoid relationship
[8:08][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Good for her.
[8:08][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"This coming from the chocking fetish guy.
[8:08][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"So are they making you guys get a psych evaluation...or is that just me
[8:08][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I just hope she'll keep me out of her shit from here on out.
[8:09][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Zhal, I thought you trills were much kinkier than that.
[8:09][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"I ordered everyone to get evaluated, Tegan.
[8:09][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's standard after an ordeal like that.
[8:09][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"oh good I did not want to be the only one.
[8:09][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Oh... very just surprising that big gruff engineer is into that. Guess that teaches me.
[8:09][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Never judge a book by its cover.
[8:09][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He looks at Ezri and smiles.* "You aren't alone. I am on double eval.
[8:09][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"No normally your suppose to be on atleast 6 months medical and psych leave after a POW event.
[8:09][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"We don't have the 6 months.
[8:10][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"So i'll be checking in a little more often here and there.
[8:10][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Do we get to keep the 6 months for after the war?
[8:10][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Damn right.
[8:10][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Trust me, we'll all get a very, very long break after the gate's open.
[8:10][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"At this point we've all banked a few years.
[8:10][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Then you can all consider yourselves invited to my wedding. Bring knives.
[8:10][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"loss of a ship is suppose to be a year.
[8:10][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Wouldn't miss it, Ristovski.
[8:10][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Even if its done intentionally.
[8:11][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I also report to Dr. Sorin in the morning for my second eval after I meet with T'lena, and my normal pysch eval so... shit that's three evals in one day.
[8:11][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"And if any of my uncles try to flirt with you, just punch them.
[8:11][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Are any of your uncles hot?" *he smirked.
[8:11][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"That is a very fair question.
[8:11][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Dr Soran is a very good counselor i use her myself.
[8:11][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she looks at Zhal-- "Doctor Soran is nice.
[8:11][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"If you become my aunt and I am abusing my familial connection.
[8:12][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:(Then* Not and
[8:12][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That's not answering the question.
[8:12][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Looks at Bore with interest.
[8:12][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Inquiring minds Bore.
[8:12][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"But she is Betazoid so its hard to lie to her.
[8:12][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"They're the big, gruff hairy type too.
[8:13][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Punching it is, then." *He drank.
[8:13][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*laughs
[8:13][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Chuckles into his drink.* "Chicken.
[8:13][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"They'd be more interested in Zhal, Ezri and the doctor anyways. Most of them haven't really left earth, so humans are boring to them.
[8:13][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore downs the rest of his glass.
[8:14][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He looks at Ezri and nods.* "That's what I was told. Hoping she can help me identify a few things.
[8:14][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well I'll be bringing a vulcan so do i tell him its Bulgarian tradition to have fist fights with the uncles and let us watch the entertainment?
[8:14][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You don't need to tell him anything. Usually two branches of the family start fighting over something and then it kind of snowballs from there.
[8:15][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Usually over who stole who's moonshine truck three centuries ago.
[8:15][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*laughs* We sure this isn't a klingon wedding
[8:15][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Bigger question is do we take you to the golden rod, or the Skara homeworld for the bachlor party?
[8:15][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yaeh. Biggest you can expect is knives, not bathleths.
[8:15][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Look... the other side's going to be Nadine's people, and they'll be mostly Pilgrim crew... so I'm going for the show.
[8:15][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Klingons have knives too.
[8:16][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, God. That means Teir and T'Ghor will probably be invited. She'll be adding fuel to a fire.
[8:17][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"And bachelor party... I dunno, Zhal. I may skip that.
[8:17][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Not happening, Ristovski.
[8:18][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Then the golden rod is out of the question. Strippers are just meh when their whole race goes around naked anyways.
[8:18][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well the Antennae does burlesque shows.
[8:18][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"If you want something a bit more high brow.
[8:18][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"We can keep it classy.
[8:18][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's Bore.
[8:18][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"theres always club Eros.
[8:18][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I'm not even sure what burlesque means.
[8:19][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"But thats basically a travynei brothel
[8:19][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Dance in sexy clothing but its a form of musical theatre.
[8:19][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Hmm... giant, mean women. I think it may work.
[8:19][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Well eros is a dance club they jsut have all the private rooms.
[8:19][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I mean we can always go find that woman we tackled in the hall way and let her choke you for a few hours.
[8:19][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Cross that bride when we come to it. With the war ongoing, I've not even seen Nadine in a while.
[8:20][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:(Bridge*
[8:20][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"The klingon sector has an orion club as well.
[8:20][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You mean the Subcommander?
[8:20][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Sure.
[8:21][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"She's cute, I guess. But an orion club also sounds good.
[8:21][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The old chief took me and Damian to an orion pleasure barge as a treat one time.
[8:21][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"The Navara..that was fun.
[8:22][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Blinks to Ezri.* "You went there too?
[8:22][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:--she nods-- "that is where I got the Klingon tatoo.
[8:22][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"...Didn't expect it from you, Ezri. Nice job.
[8:22][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Turns and blinks at Ezri.* "Klingon tattoo?
[8:22][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, yeah. She's officially part of some klingon clan or something.
[8:22][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"ask her where it is.
[8:23][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"I spent the night with the Klingons they gave me a tatoo, said I was an member of their house now.
[8:23][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He looks at T'lena then to Ezri.* "And where is it?
[8:23][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Huh, I spent a few nights with a Klingon and all I got was my bathroom trashed.
[8:24][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Its on my back...
[8:24][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, right. I'm gonna need Blaine and Zhal for something come my wedding.
[8:25][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:'You'll be there to help me steal Nadine.
[8:25][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Steal?
[8:25][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He looks at Ezri and smirks.* "Nice." *Then looks at Bore.* "I am so in.
[8:25][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"kidnapping is illegal.
[8:25][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"It's located near the top of--- oh. I don't think we can do that.
[8:25][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, it's tradition. The bride's family or friends demand money from the groom, and you can either pay up, or go through them and take her.
[8:26][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"No, no, it's not an actual kidnapping. It's more theatrics harkening back to the time when we did kidnap or pay for our brides.
[8:26][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"You realise she'll probably kill... well, at least Zhal. I'll pronably be fine.
[8:26][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Ah sort of like a dowry and a bypass.
[8:26][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Hey! I am a damn fine pilot most days.
[8:26][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, kinda like that, Doctor.
[8:26][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You're a pilot, not a hazard team guy.
[8:26][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"In romulan culture if you were arrange din a marriag eyou didn't wnat the bride would have the groom assassinated.
[8:27][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Park a shuttle nearby, beam you out run like hell.
[8:27][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"And it was perfectly legal if she pulled it off.
[8:27][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Earth sounds like a really wild place.
[8:27][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"before the wedding date.
[8:27][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles at T'Lena.
[8:27][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"...Good for her.
[8:27][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*he drank.
[8:27][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Better than the Vulcan death match thing.
[8:27][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nah, we won't be running anywhere. After we kidnap her we go to the actual venue of the wedding.
[8:27][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Along with her friends we just kidnapped her from.
[8:27][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"But probably stemming from the same ancient custom.
[8:28][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Alright... well, so long as she knows about it beforehand and promises not to kick below the belt... sure. I'll fake kidnap your insane fiance, Ristovski.
[8:28][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I think I'd rather be assassinated frankly. The death match thing is to long and drawn out.
[8:28][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He pat him on the shoulder.
[8:30][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Totally in, even if I do get my shit kicked in. It will be fun.
[8:30][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Blaine.* "Thank you.
[8:30][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nah, she'll be told beforehand. Even if it would be funny not to.
[8:30][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I'll have my reginerators ready.
[8:31][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"'Preciated, doc." *He stole a chicken wing from Bore's platter.
[8:32][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore poured himself more to drink.* "Any word from Command on when we can expect to be moving out?
[8:33][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"They're not even contemplating that until we're all cleared for duty, Ristovski.
[8:33][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Good. Gives me a few more days to kick back, then.
[8:33][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Thats basically the orders.
[8:34][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I dunno, Doc. I'm expecting to be thrown into it any day. Feels like we barely get any rest since the war started.
[8:35][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"We're not going out until we're ready." *He looked at Bore.* "I'm not gonna let them do that.
[8:35][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Thanks.
[8:36][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"So don't even think about... all that. Think about getting your shit back together, y'know?" *He leaned back in his chair.
[8:37][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Maybe I'll finally take some spa time again.
[8:37][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Worst orders ever." *He sighs* "Even if they are neccessary. I get it I do. I just prefer to be in open space and flying.
[8:38][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Fuck, we could all use spa time. In fact. Direct order, all of you hit up the Avynei spa while we're here.
[8:38][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Try and make sure you get avynei masseuses too. They're simply another level. Put their tail into it too.
[8:38][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Don't settle for Yanda or whatever.
[8:38][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"I'll write up the prescriptions.
[8:38][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He toasted T'Lena silently and then drained his glass.
[8:38][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"Do I have to?
[8:39][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Yes! That's what a direct order means.
[8:39][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:---she sighs-- "yes sir.
[8:40][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Hell, just go in, look around and leave if you decide you don't want to do it... just go there at some point. Trust me.
[8:40][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"aye aye sir.
[8:40][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"Ezri have them do the guided experience for you.
[8:40][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Nearly rolled his eyes but caught himself.* "Spa days... feels like I am back on Trill at the conservatory.
[8:41][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"..the guided experience. Is that like the tour
[8:41][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Conserving what?
[8:41][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The belly buddy, probably?
[8:41][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Was before I got my belly buddy Bore.
[8:42][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"...What did you conserve, then?
[8:42][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I was a musician.
[8:42][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"it measn they pair you with a Avynei that will telepathically make you confortable. with what you need to relax not necessarily the normal one.
[8:42][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"...Okay? And what does that have to do with conservation?
[8:42][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I went to a school dedicated to music, called a conservatory.
[8:42][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"What? No shit. And they're conserving, like, the idea of music, Ristovski...
[8:42][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He hiccupped.
[8:42][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh. I thought conservation was like... nature shit.
[8:43][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"It was very naturey too. Warm woods, fancy gardens and the like.
[8:43][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"So what'd you play? It wasn't T-pop, was it?
[8:43][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Shit, that does sound nice. So you just frolic in the woods and play music?
[8:43][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"He -does- kinda look like a T-Pop trill.
[8:43][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That sounds like a really Trill thing," *he nodded to Bore.
[8:44][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I hate you both.
[8:44][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i like T-Pop.
[8:44][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He grinned.
[8:44][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"What? Why?
[8:44][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He grabbed one of Bore's bottles and poured himself half a glass.
[8:45][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I was trained in a dozen instruments. Primarly strings and your terran piano, that was my favorite before I gave it up.
[8:45][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You gave up music to fly? Or did flying come later
[8:46][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Oh... because your quarters are too small for all your instruments." *He nodded sagely.
[8:46][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Flying came later. I always wanted to fly.
[8:47][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i keep a roll up music keyboard in my cabin. Because ther isn't reoom for a regyular piano.
[8:48][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Well shit, there's a lot of musical people around this fleet. If you ever wanted to try it again there's options.
[8:48][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"My instrument is portable.
[8:48][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"If I didn't get into the Academy, I'd probably become a mechanic of some sort. Shuttles, maybe. Or civil engineering.
[8:48][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she chuckled
[8:48][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"There was even an all-trill band kicking around for a bit.
[8:49][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, Zhaixe was in it, I think.
[8:49][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Something to think about at least. Since we are officially on light duty.
[8:50][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Shit can be theraputic." *He munched the chicken wing.
[8:51][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I dunno. Music seems difficult as fuck. Way too much pressure.
[8:51][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I am certain one of my three visits with the professionals will suggest it.
[8:51][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Nah... if you get drunk enough to not give a shit, it's fun as hell. Take karaoke.
[8:52][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, but the point of Karaoke is being shit.
[8:52][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"i should go, i have a councseling appoinment early in the morning.
[8:52][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Exactly. No pressure.
[8:52][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"good night Ezri.
[8:52][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. I mean actual music. And good night, Ezri.
[8:52][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Good night, Tegan.
[8:52][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I was doing fine with the dancing until I realized my CO was in the crowd.
[8:52][DOIC3]Ezri Tegan@Demoncheru:"good night everyone.
[8:52][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He looked at Ezri and smiled.* "Good night Ezri.
[8:52][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she checked her time* "Actually I need to go as well. Its my night to sleep for the next 72.
[8:52][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she yawned
[8:52][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He laughed heartily at Zhal.* "You didn't see me until you finished, anyway.
[8:53][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:"you were rather good at it Zhal.
[8:53][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Good night, Doctor.
[8:53][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Oh god for fuck sake not you too.
[8:53][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He chuckled.* "Sweet dreams, doc.
[8:53][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"What's the issue if them two saw you dancing?
[8:53][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Good night Doctor..." *He was blushing brightly.
[8:54][DOIC3]T'lena@Captain_Rien:*she smiled* Jolan Tru
[8:54][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"It's not like the saw you gobbling three sets of balls at the same time.
[8:54][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I was drunk, and living it up and left with your two friends.
[8:54][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:(They*
[8:54][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"So?
[8:55][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Zhal, you got no idea the situations Citadel sickbay has seen me in.
[8:55][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Dancing with two beryxians is nothing bad.
[8:55][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Fair, but was not my best look. But it was fun.
[8:55][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He smirked.* "We don't talk about the shit I got up to before I was put in command.
[8:55][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I -could- talk about some of it. I'm sure T'Ghor coudl help me fill in some blanks.
[8:56][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"That won't be necessary, Ristovski.
[8:56][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He grinned
[8:56][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I should ask him the next time I see him.
[8:56][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"T'Ghor is not a reliable source of information on me." *He smirked.
[8:57][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You would say that, of course.
[8:57][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"No one believes that Commander.
[8:57][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"These two go on something called the "Booze krooze"... I'll leave it at that.
[8:57][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Hey... who're you going to believe, your beloved commander, or some Klingon who doesn't even know how to grow a beard any more?
[8:58][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I'll pick the Klingon, the foreheads really do it for me.
[8:58][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"That's... an interesting taste.
[8:59][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Says the guy who once sucked a Nausicaan cock.
[8:59][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"So? I didn't have a nausicaan suck -my- cock.
[8:59][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*Busted out laughing.
[8:59][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"We can agree that would be a whole different ballgame.
[9:00][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He laughed as well.* "Fair enough, Ristovski... fair enough.
[9:00][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*He grinned and plopped down another fat load of mayo over his fries.
[9:00][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Setting the bottle aside, he turned to Zhal.* "Weirdest encounter. Go. Mine was obviously the nausicaan.
[9:01][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Oh shit... Bajoran Vedek.
[9:02][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Oh, damn. How?
[9:03][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He chuckled and sipped on the rest of the moonshine in his glass.
[9:04][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"It was back when I was graduating the Academy, Vedek Kiren was visiting his niece who was in my class, found him after the ceremony and he needed a ride up to starbase. I offered, and thats all h
[9:04][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:wrote.
[9:04][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He chuckled.* "I bet you rode him to his starbase.
[9:05][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"The prophets weren't the only thing he knelt to.
[9:05][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Goddamn. I thought priests would at least play a bit hard to get.
[9:05][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Nah, they need to get it where they can.
[9:05][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, fair point. That's weird, you know? Orthodox priests are allowed to have families and kids and shit.
[9:06][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Vows of chastity aren't universal, thankfully.
[9:06][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"The one in our village has been married to his wife for like forty years now, so he doesn't have to sneak away to starbases.
[9:07][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I won't ask about -your- weirdest encounter, Commander... For obvious reasons." *He grinned.
[9:08][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"You have no idea, Ristovski....
[9:08][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Oh come on, fair is fair." *He looked at Marcus.
[9:08][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He sucked on his cheek for a moment.* "A priestess of the Dark.
[9:08][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*To Zhal* "That's why I didn't ask, I was there.
[9:09][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Well alright then.
[9:09][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I think the weirder part is she was a plant person.
[9:09][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"She wasn't... like the ones we usually encounter. She stayed here on the Citadel for a while.
[9:09][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"That explains why he spends so much time in the gardens.
[9:10][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He squinted at them.* "I can demote you both, you know.
[9:10][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Hopefully she'll be bakc once the war is done. She's a bit strange, but nice.
[9:10][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"If you demote me, you'd have to promote Damian.
[9:11][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He paused for a moment.* "I don't think she's coming back.
[9:11][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Frowned some.* "Oh, shit... I'm sorry.
[9:11][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"I mean lets be honest if you demote me you get some random that we haven't vetted to fly the ship.
[9:11][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Do you really want the Manta in another pilot's hands?
[9:11][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He gave Bore a slight shrug and then shook his head.* "No, fine. You both can keep your ranks... but watch yourselves.
[9:12][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"You wouldn't dare demote your chief booze provider and spycatcher." *He grinned.
[9:13][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Speaking of, did we get anything serviceable from that bastard?
[9:13][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He stood and smirked.* "I have an appointment with the Doc and pysch in the morning. I'm sure you'll be getting the report soon. So I will leave you two drunks to your drinks.
[9:13][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"No, I don't suppose I would." *He stood up, swaying slightly and placing a hand on the table.* "Dunno yet. They'll let me know.
[9:13][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:"Good night, Cap, Good night Bore.
[9:14][DOIC3]Zhal@Jabroc:*He started off and out of the bar.
[9:14][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"I'll go take a walk and get some sleep, too.
[9:14][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Night, Lieutenant. I'm gonna go try to remember where my quarters are. You good, Ristovski?
[9:14][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:*He nodded.
[9:14][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:*Bore was swaying ever so slightly.* "I can take you. Probably.
[9:15][DOIC3]Marcus Blaine@liorexu:"Okay... but if you pass out on my couch, no telling T'Ghor. He gets jealous.
[9:16][DOIC3]Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon:"Nah, I'm far from passing out..." *He started down the halls with blaine.
