Yorktown

Ensign Jane Sheppard BOT 28-Aug-20 04:11 AM

*she strolls through the shops, looking for some souvenirs to take with her back to the ship* *"hm, this all looks good"* *she spots a little potted cactus and grins* "I will take the cactus."

*she let the cactus be beamed innher quarters and then searches for flowers and lets a bouquet of them be beamed into arians quarters with a note "Congratulations on your promotion Chief, Jane"*

Lt. Xander Spica 29-Aug-20 02:37 PM

*he entered* "This is a fauna/flora shop, and over there are some souvenirs you can buy" *he gestured in the direction and smiled*

Lt. Jason Isker 29-Aug-20 02:40 PM

*Jason looks around* "Wow, it has been some time since i saw a flower shop." *he grins and works between the flowers* "And they are real even."

Lt. Girak Mayott 29-Aug-20 02:40 PM

*He nodded and looked around.* [D] *So many bright and beautiful flowers hung from the walls and around the ceiling of the shop. Plants of many varieties also lined the shelves and he was careful not to touch any in case they bite or are fragile.* “Hummm they are interesting.” *One yellow vine moved aside to let people pass by.* (edited)

Lt. Xander Spica 29-Aug-20 03:02 PM

*he waved towards the shop keeper* "Gotcha some customers" *he smiled*

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 29-Aug-20 03:33 PM

"Wow," *Kalena whispered in awe as she walked into the mess of flowers. She paused before a silver vine hanging from the ceiling and traced the air around a beautiful golden flower.* "They're beautiful."

Lt. Jason Isker 29-Aug-20 03:36 PM

"They indeed are." *he chuckles and kneels down to a moon shaped flower and looks like he has a nostalgia trip* "See you across the stars huh?" *he looks up* "How much for this flower?"

Lt. Girak Mayott 29-Aug-20 03:42 PM

*While walking through the foliage he spotted Miren as she eyed the flower. His mind went back to conversation they had before but he turned away and tried to keep focus on other items in the shop. Small statues and images of Yorktown were held in this area of the store. He took a small miniature and decided this would be what he’d have from here.*

Lt. Xander Spica 29-Aug-20 04:20 PM

*he tapped a bit on a PADD he had. But couldn't make alot of sense out of the things on it. He did see a mention of his superior officer though, so he would hand it to her when he had the chance*

S hopkeeper BOT 29-Aug-20 04:24 PM

“Payment?” *The human asked with a booming laugh.* “Have you been spending time around any Ferengi lately?” *He knelt down next to Jason and examines the flower in question.* “Now, for this fine specimen – and all of my plants – I have two options for you. I will gladly trade it for any plant you have to offer, or!” *He had a rather dramatic air.* “I will give you a clipping and you can grow your own. I only request that if any of you fine Starfleet officers return to this station one day, that you bring me a clipping from a new plant you found on your journey.” “You see, plants are my passion. A passion I love to share with others if they in turn share with me!”

Lt. Jason Isker 29-Aug-20 04:26 PM

*he grins a bit* "Well, i take a clipping then, i can grow it on board. And if i get the chance to get a clipping on a plant out there i will bring it to you." *he nods* "It would be a pleasure to trade like this."

Shopkeeper BOT 29-Aug-20 04:33 PM

“Wonderful! We have a deal.” *The man stood up and took the flower with him to a desk. He rummaged behind it for a moment, pulling out a tub of gel, and a small pot for the clipping. As he moved the flower, the officers would see a number of smaller plants hidden beneath it, new flowers he’d germinated for just this purpose. Within moments he’d removed one of the small plants, put a bit of gel on the roots, and stuck it in the pot.* “Here you are! Make sure you transplant him to his new home by tomorrow at the latest.”

Lt. Xander Spica 29-Aug-20 04:34 PM

*He grabbed a different PADD he had, he tapped on it again. This time however he saw Jason pop up. He didn't know why, but walked to Jason anyways and tapped him on the shoulder* "Hey Jason. Before I was underway to the ship, I saw this Vulcan who asked me if i was assigned to the Odyssey" *He shook his head* "When i said 'yes', he handed me this" *He handed the PADD to Jason*

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 29-Aug-20 04:35 PM

"How about this one?" *Kalena asked, still a bit entranced by the golden flower.* "Do you do clippings of this too?"

Shopkeeper BOT 29-Aug-20 04:40 PM

“Indeed!” *Leaving the moon flower on the desk, he quickly grabbed a pair of scissors and walked over to his new customer.* “Hynaran roses. Beautiful aren’t they? They’re soilless plants, so all we have to do is snip off a bit of vine. You can take this beauty home, arrange it around a trellis, and it will be happy as can be. Just spritz it with water and nutrients when it gets a bit dull. Do we have a deal?”

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 29-Aug-20 04:42 PM

"Oh yes!" *she practically gushed,* "I'll gladly bring you something new one day."

Shopkeeper BOT 29-Aug-20 04:46 PM

*After she agreed, he hunted down the vine, which was quite long as it wound its way along all the other flowering vines taking up the ceiling, until he found a part with a bud ready to bloom. He snipped it off, then brought it to his desk and covered the cut edge with another type of gel. It was entwined with a bit of wire, then wrapped in paper, leaving the bud sticking out the top.* “And here you are!”

Lt. Jason Isker 29-Aug-20 04:48 PM

*jason nods* "Will do sir." *he takes the small pot and grins* "I will put you near my bed, then i wont forget to water you." *he grins and then looks to Xander* "Oh you did?" *he takes the PADD* "Thank you very much" *He puts the PADD in a pocket*

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 29-Aug-20 04:50 PM

"Thank you," *Kalena picked up the plant and smiled happily down at it. It would really brighten up her quarters.*

Lt. Girak Mayott 29-Aug-20 05:05 PM

*He noticed them getting plants and he walked over to show the shop keeper the small item he found.* “Excise me, how might I acquire this item?”

Shopkeeper BOT 29-Aug-20 05:12 PM

“Ah!” *He plucked the statue from the doctor’s hand and held it up into the light.* “A beauty isn’t it? I made it myself, modeled from the first view I had of this station. A bit longer ago than I’d care to admit.” *There was his booming laugh again.* “For this? Humm. How’s this for a fair trade? For my first view of Yorktown, tell me about the first time you saw something beautiful.”

Clavel 29-Aug-20 05:23 PM

*Unless there was a bell at the door, Korena would quietly walk into the florist, basically undetectable to anyone who wasn't staring directly at the door.*

Lt. Girak Mayott 29-Aug-20 05:27 PM

“Alright then.” *He pondered a bit then thought of the perfect memory.* “I visited Andoria for a while when I was young. Now most people think it’s cold and barren with large cities under the ice. That is in a way true but I did get the chance to explore the ice tundras above. You’d think that with snow and ice all around it would be a dull scene, but when I was up there, the sun was staring to set, and the reds golds, purples and blues not only splashed across the sky but the snow as well.” *He smiled and his blue eyes sparkled.* “I’d never seen so many colors in one moment. I only wish I could have taken that moment and place it in a photo to always look upon.”

Shopkeeper BOT 29-Aug-20 05:39 PM

“But at least the beautiful vision lives on in your memory, and you can share it with words.” *The shopkeeper then offered him back the statue.* “As bargained for, this is now yours.”

Lt. Xander Spica 29-Aug-20 05:41 PM

*He looked around the shop to see if he recognised anyone else, he then saw Korena and waved* "Heya, you must be Lieutenant Korena if I'm not mistaking" *He stook out his hand* "Xander Spica, Science division. I'll be serving with you on the Odyssey"

Lt. Girak Mayott 29-Aug-20 05:43 PM

*He gratefully took the item from the shop owner.* “Thank you, I will treasure it.” *One item down, one fish and drink to go.*

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 29-Aug-20 05:43 PM

"Hi Korena! Are you feeling better? Look, I got a flower for our quarters." *She held up the wrapped plant in her hands as she spoke.*

Lt. Jason Isker 29-Aug-20 05:44 PM

*he grins and listens to everyone in the shop while he reads the PADD he just had recieved* *"I wonder what he wrote on the PADD"*

Clavel 29-Aug-20 05:44 PM

"i got us a cat." *Korena simply stated, looking straight through Kalena, as if the Kriosian was glass. Korena seemed to still be a little out of it.* (edited)

M'Kall BOT 29-Aug-20 05:57 PM

*[D] The PADD said the following:* "Dear Jason, I don't know if this PADD made it's way to you, I gave it to a random officer that made it's way to the direction of the ship. But I'll get to the point: I hereby give you the access codes to my training program, I'd like for you to use it for yourself or to train others. It would please me if you did. Good luck, and try not to get killed. -M'Kall" *There was a file attached that showed how to use the program, the codes where there too*

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 02:18 AM

*he looked around and smiled* "ready for our next part of the tour?"

Lt. Girak Mayott 30-Aug-20 07:52 AM

“Oh I’m going to quickly check out the fish. I’ll catch up with you all in a bit.” *He didn’t want them to wait on him before heading out.*

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 08:43 AM

*he nodded and smiled* "take your time doc" *he pointed in the direction of the fauna section* "They're over there" (edited)

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:02 AM

*Isha arrived in the shop and looked around. Seeing what they had that might peek her interest*

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 09:07 AM

*he looked over to her, curious seeing he never saw an insectoid before. He walked over and looked at her and smiled* "Hey! You're assigned to the Odyssey, right?" *He read her file a bit so he recognised her face. He stook out his hand* "I'm Xander Spica, science division"

Clavel 30-Aug-20 09:08 AM

"You're awfully friendly." *Korena stated, turning her gaze from Kalena too Xander. Her eyes looked straight at him. To compare them to daggers would be incorrect. Daggers hurt when they're stabbed into you. No, her eyes were more so like needles full of neurotoxin, slowly injecting themselves into you and then leaving you dead, usually painlessly. That is to say, her eyes were seemingly distant, and while not directly judging the man, seemed to be more so just...staring through him.* (edited)

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:09 AM

*Isha smiled at the man who arrpoarched her, and offered her hand out to Xander* "Hello im Isha, an ensign in the tactical. Nice to meet you."

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 09:12 AM

*he turned to Korena and raised an eyebrow* "Anything wrong with that, miss?" *He turned back to Isha* "The feeling is mutual" *he smiled* "I've never seen your species before" *he inspected her* "Insectoids are quite interesting, never seen one in person until now. But I read alot about them" *he smiled*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:15 AM

"Well Kalith's are unuqie even amoung insectoid. We opperate less like humanoids and more like the earth insects called "Ants". I sadly did not grow up in a hive. But i'd be happy to help in whatever questions you have." *Isha gave another smile with her eyes closed, she had seen it make a more appealing image of her in photo's so she tried to employ it here. Something about her insect eye's being unsettling to humans, biological wireing and all.*

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 09:20 AM

*he smiled back* "I'd love to hear all about you" *he looked at her* "I'm a xenobiologist, so I'm quite interested in to what you have to tell" *he grinned*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:22 AM

"Well of course i can't tell much about internal biology." *She gives a little chuckle.* "But other than that im happy to help, so what is the first thing on your mind?" *Isha said pulling on her shirt. Her fuzz often clinged to it, making it uncomfertable unless she adjusted it.*

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 09:24 AM

*he thought for a bit and then listed some things, counting them on his fingers* "Skeletal structure, nervous system, respiratory system, digestive system and your way of sensing the world around you" *he looked back up to her and smiled*

Clavel 30-Aug-20 09:25 AM

"She just said she can't tell much about internal biology and you just listed four things that are internal" *Korena pointed out*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:26 AM

"I have both an internal and external skeleton. Im not quite sure on my nervous system but i do know i breath via holes along my body. No idea about digestive sorry. And for sense. I see mostly the same way you do, just i can see some extra colours. And my anteni are both noses and ears."

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 09:29 AM

*he turned to Korena* "she said 'not much', and I'm just seeing what she does know" *he smiled and turned back to Isha* "That's quite interesting, especially that you have an internal aswell as an external skeleton. That isn't very common" *he nodded and smiled slightly* "Very interesting..."

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:32 AM

*She has an unverved and worried look* "Your not gonna cut me up to look inside me right? beacuse im legaly required to warn you i can snap your neck in about five seconds."

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 09:33 AM

*he chuckles* "Dont worry if he would try it i would plug him to the ceiling for being rude" *he appeared between some plants* "Jason Isker, Coms." *he grins and extends a hand*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:36 AM

*Using her smaller hand under the one shaking Xander's hand she shakes Jason's* "Isha, though i assume you were there the entire time."

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 09:38 AM

*he grins* "Well i was in the shop the entire time yes, i just listened while walking over here" *he nods* "You are an insectoid, thats interesting. Only served with one years ago, she was a bit off an oddball."

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:39 AM

"Oh?" *Her anteni flair up* "Who were they and what species?"

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 09:39 AM

*he looked shocked* "cut you open?! Are you insane! No!"

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:40 AM

*Isha imedeatly begins applogising* "I can't tell when your serious or not! i use pheromones to sense emotion. All you humans do is move your face weirdly!"

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 09:41 AM

*he grins* "Well her name was Fizzi, a name our captain gave her back then and she looked like an overgrown moth, but mixed with a human. She was part troublemaker and part the good spirit of the shio" *he nods*

Clavel 30-Aug-20 09:41 AM

"Perfume must be a nightmare for you" *Korena chuckled, making a small, rather unfunny joke*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:43 AM

*Isha gorans at Korena's comment* "I once smashed a bottle just so it was not around me in the academy."

Clavel 30-Aug-20 09:45 AM

"That is entirely understandable, I mean, it would probably make emotions even harder to read on humans if they're always smelling like roses." *she shrugged*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:47 AM

"You bet. For half a year i thought my roomate was trying to blossum and spread seeds. Thats all i could smell on her."

Clavel 30-Aug-20 09:47 AM

*Korena would chuckle a little at that.*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:50 AM

*Isha uses her larger main arm to rub her anteni, cleaning dirt that clings to it.* "Well another problem of having a body like mine, the sharp points of my exo skeleton make clothes hard. I don't *need* clothes, everything worth hideing is already under my shell. But it helps to fit in. I got these ones just on the ship." *She pointed to her unifrom, the shirt that somehow did not cut on her arms and the tights/leggins that she had on. Plus the skirt above them.*

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 09:55 AM

"Well it certainly suits you." *he nods* "So you can read emotions via chemisty right? That is an interesting trait. And forgive me my probably rude comment, when i first saw you i was reminded of a bee from earth, given your coloring." *he grins a bit*

Clavel 30-Aug-20 09:56 AM

"If I had a penny for every emotion reader on the Odyssey, I would have at least three. Its not a lot but it sure is weird how many there are on this one ship..." *Korena mumbled under her breath*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 09:57 AM

"Im not an emotion reader. I just smell phermones. And humans don't make a lot. I can't get details, just very basic feelings. And...thanks" *She smiled at the comment of her look suiting her.*

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 09:59 AM

"Well basic feelings is a start." *he nods* "I am a Betazoid, which basically translates to being an empath. I can feel emotions, some of us even can read thoughts. But even with being an empath, everything can be a bit vague at times"

Clavel 30-Aug-20 10:00 AM

"People sure are weird." *Korena said, in response to Jason's comment about things being vague*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 10:01 AM

"Well, i cam here to shop i guess. What exactly does this place sell?"

Lt. Girak Mayott 30-Aug-20 10:06 AM

“Thanks.” *Without waiting for the others to respond he quickly passed through the plant life and made it to the right side of the shop.* [D] *Many small reptilian creatures behind glass cages eyed or ignored him as he passed through. The fish area came into view close to the back and he quickly looked through the many types of large and small fish that swam through the tanks. Some had beautifully smooth bodies and flashing colors while other looked more sinister with spines and teeth. It didn’t take him long to spot the fish that caught his interest. This fish had long flowing fins and tail. It was mostly white with a few spots of colors here and there.* (edited)

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 10:09 AM

*he grins* "Well here you can get plants pets and souveniers" *he looks in the round* "And it seems the doc has found his pet."

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 10:12 AM

"Souveniers? any suggestions?" *She seemed excited.*

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 10:13 AM

"That depends, what souvenier would cross with what you are interested in so that it makes a good souvenier" *he grins a bit*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 10:15 AM

*She thinks for a bit* "Uh i like books and im thinking of getting into figurines."

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 10:17 AM

*he nods* "Hm i am bad at picking these things, maybe a model of this station or a reprint of an old classic?

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 10:18 AM

"You think they have that around here?" *She tilts her head, since she cannot express confusion very well in human terms, she uses the dog stratagy*

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 10:20 AM

*he nods* "Maybe, yes. This is a large station after all, i would be suprised if the, wouldnt have books as souvenirss"

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 10:23 AM

"Well if you spot anything be sure to let me know"

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 10:25 AM

*he nodded* "they have *alot* of souvenirs here. Wayyyyyyyy to many for my taste." *He thinks* "the shop nextdoor should have more choise"

Clavel 30-Aug-20 10:25 AM

"Whats next door?" *she asked*

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 10:32 AM

*he smiled* "souvenirs-clothes shop" *he nodded* "quite the diversity of items over there"

Clavel 30-Aug-20 10:34 AM

"I visted an antique shop earlier. It had a lot of really weird stuff in there, from a Klingon knife too a copy of The Teachings of Surak, written in Vulcan."

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 10:41 AM

"Suraks teachings, i wonder if someone ever really translated them to anything else then vulcan" *he chuckles*

Ensign Isha 30-Aug-20 10:43 AM

"Hmm i doubt they have anything that would not brake on me." *She said when she heard this other shop was clothing*

Clavel 30-Aug-20 10:44 AM

"Yes. They did. I believe that Skon, Son of Solkar, first translated the Teachings of Surak into English, to my understanding." *Korena commented.* "I originally read the texts in english, actually."

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 10:47 AM

*he nodded and looked at Isha* "not at that shop, no. But there's a tailor" *he shrugged and smiled* "I bet they can whip you something up over there"

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 10:49 AM

*he raises an eyebrow at Korenas comment about reading them in english first and looks to xander* "That is a good suggestion. There are many cut resistent materials a good tailor can do wonders with" *he looks to Korena* "I will look into that, it would be a good timekiller for downtimes"

Clavel 30-Aug-20 10:51 AM

"I would recommend reading them. Although I personally follow the teachings, and treat them as what they are, philosophical truths, I suppose you could read them as...a timekiller" *Strangely enough, she seemed to be struggling with actually following the teachings right now, and she didn't seem to notice. Or did she?*

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 10:54 AM

*he looked at her and raised an eyebrow* "aren't they like, your species life? And not just 'some timekiller'?" *He looked questioning at her* (edited)

Clavel 30-Aug-20 10:56 AM

"Exactly." *She nodded* "Jason can read them as a timekiller and I can read them as the most important text in the history of my kind." *She returned.* "I mean, I doubt the highly empathetic betazoids could even begin too understand the logic within the teachings, and I mean no offense by that. You're ability too understand emotions so well is a gift in its own right, and comparing Betazoids to Vulcans is like comparing Apples and Oranges."

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 10:58 AM

"True, we are kind of opposites of the same medal, but understanding is still a good way. Besides, maybe tge teachings will give me a better chance of reading vulcan emotions" *he chuckles*

Clavel 30-Aug-20 10:59 AM

*Korena would nod*

Lt. Girak Mayott 30-Aug-20 11:00 AM

*He spoke with the shopkeeper and was able to trade a special red skipping stone that would come back if thrown for the rather dull looking white fish. A smile spread across his face as he walked over to the others, white fish placed in a special small container for transport. He’d replicate a large tank, food and other things once he got back to the ship.* “Okay, I’m back....” *His eyes widened once he saw Isha. He’d never seen her kind before and was rather intrigued.* (edited)

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 11:03 AM

*he nodded* "So, ready for the next part of the tour?" *He smiled*

Lt. Girak Mayott 30-Aug-20 11:11 AM

“Yes, all good.” *He continued to eye Isha then looked at the others.*

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 11:13 AM

"All good here too" *Jason grins*

Clavel 30-Aug-20 11:14 AM

"I mean I wasn't really invited but I'm good."

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 11:18 AM

*he nodded* "any preference as to where we should go next? Cafe, different shop, quarters?"

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 30-Aug-20 11:19 AM

“I’m ready!” *Kalena had been so disturbed by the way Korena had been looking at her that she’d lost track of the conversation for a few minutes.* “And I’m Kalena Miren, by the way,” *She introduced herself to Isha.* “Helm.”

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 11:29 AM

*he smiled* "Let's go to the bar then" *he walked over to the exit tot he hub*

Clavel 30-Aug-20 11:29 AM

"Oh I thought we were going to go to a different shop of some variety but okay." *Korena mumbled, walking out the door*

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 11:30 AM

*he turned to her* "we can go there after, a drink once in a while is always welcome. Is it not?"

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 30-Aug-20 11:34 AM

“And I think the doctor was hungry,” *She looked back at him, continuing a bit sheepishly,* “Right?”

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Aug-20 11:36 AM

"Well, good thing a bar also provides food" *he chuckles a bit*

Lt. Girak Mayott 30-Aug-20 11:46 AM

“Yes, I am.” *He smiled back at her then back at his white fish.* “It think I’ll call him Gus.”

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 30-Aug-20 11:52 AM

*She was a bit relieved to have remembered correctly.* “Hello Gus,” *Kalena greeted the fish, bending down to get a good look at him. The long fins give it an elegant look.* “You’re very pretty.”

Lt. Xander Spica 30-Aug-20 11:54 AM

*he grinned* "Heya Gus, how'd you do?" *He smiled* "I'll see you all at the bar" *he walked out onto the hub* (edited)

Lt. JG Kalena Miren 30-Aug-20 01:05 PM

*She followed them out of the shop.*

Kaijin 31-Aug-20 12:08 PM

*Oh, thank gods. He hated bars. Too many opportunities for something to go wrong there. Too many a time he'd seen just how bad drunk crew could get. He wasn't keen to join their number, not now and not til the day he was put into a torpedo casing and fired at the shrill cry of the boatswain's whistle. So he opted to simply browse the local bookstore instead.*

Kaijin 31-Aug-20 01:52 PM

*Alas none of the books on display suited his fancy. Oh well. Couldn’t please everyone. He walked out of the store - time to return to the ship in time for his appointment.*
