the central transport site in Manchester,

you as soon as you're ready.

so she's goin for one of those subs...>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::enters TR, nods at chief::
Do you have the coordinates?
Eden Sitara: ::she pondered visiting her father

mother on Alpha Centauri for chosing him
instead, sighs::

hungry.... anyone got a baby they don't
want, and a big loaf of bread?>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: TR Chief> Yes, ma'am.

DAMMIT.
CSciAxelalexa: <<Loaf of bread or baby?>>
Eden Sitara: << Take mine .. oh wait.. he's a
toddler.. would you eat him? It's a bigger
portion, though. :-)
CmdrBrookeDolan: +Zuriyev+ Admiral, I
was just about to beam down. Can this wait
until I'm back?
Agent DanteSmith: <<hmm...meal for
two...>>
CSciAxelalexa: <<They don't look quite as
succulent, though...>>

Shepard's Pie should be made.>>

CSciAxelalexa: ::Sighs:: So... It's not legal to
eat the offspring of any species, except for
the ones that incubate in your chest and burst
out... damn.

CmdrBrookeDolan: Thank you, sir. What did
you want to see me about?
Cdr Sullivan: :::drums her fingers on her desk,
noting that they are not reacting with the
same.... same..... response times as usual... in
fact... one seems to be sticking::::
Agent DanteSmith: +Eden+ Smith to
Sitara...
RAdm AC Zuriyev: I...
Qi raS: ::exits quarters, heads to TL:: Science.
RAdm AC Zuriyev: I feel that I owe
you... an apology. For the actions of
Lt. Trumbull in my guise.
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::waits, attempting
patience::
Qi raS: ::exits TL::
Eden Sitara: ::walks from there to her modest
bedroom, to gather somethings; answers her
comm as she is looking for items to pack::
+Dante+ Yes, sir? Is there something I can
help you with?
Eden Sitara: ::rustling can be heard as she
gathers her things::
Qi raS: +Axe+ Greetings, sir.
Cdr Sullivan: << I was shooting for..... *I......
am secretly a woman*.>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::clears her throat:: Oh,
you mean practically assaulting me in the
turbolift?
LtTommySpark has left the room.
CSciAxelalexa: +Qi raS+ Greetings. How
may I be of assistance?
LtTommySpark has entered the room.
RAdm AC Zuriyev: ::takes a breath:: I do
not know the full extent of his
actions...
Qi raS: I.. I was just wondering if there was
anything you could recommend on Earth.
CmdrBrookeDolan: I was completely creeped
out, you must know. Absolutely digusted by
your ... his ... behavior.
Agent DanteSmith: +Eden+ well...actually...
Lilminxyone: <<Night all... enjoy your shore
leave>>
RAdm AC Zuriyev: I have a good name
that he sullied.
CmdrBrookeDolan: Had I known at the time
that it wasn't really you, I would have kicked
your ... his ... I mean ...
Cdr Sullivan: <<Hey! There is nothing wrong
with being *Sulied!*>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::takes a deep breath:: I'm
sorry, sir. It wasn't your fault, and I know
that. He looked like you, but it wasn't really
you.
Agent DanteSmith: +Eden+ is there by any
chance...a nice place on the planet you
might know about? I'm kinda having a
hard time planning what to do...
RAdm AC Zuriyev: <<::groans:: You're a
verb? >>
Agent DanteSmith: <<that's not good>>
Lilminxyone has left the room.
CmdrBrookeDolan: And you certainly have
nothing to apologise for. It was not your fault
in any way.
CSciAxelalexa: ::thinks:: +Qi raS+ Everytime
I go down there, I find it unpleasant, actually.
So many mammals, none of which think
anyway like how I do. However, there is a
decent science academy at Starfleet
Academy with a somewhat
Cdr Sullivan: <<:::chuckles:::>>
CSciAxelalexa: interesting library.
Eden Sitara: ::listens, packing a bathing suit in
case, warmer clothes, night clothes, personal
items, whatever:: +Dante+ I haven't actually
chosen anything myself yet .. I was just going
to sort of play it by ear. I guess I'm having the
same
Eden Sitara: problem as you. ::chuckles::
RAdm AC Zuriyev: Well.. you thought it
was me at the time, and I hope
nothing resides latent in your mind
associating that kind of behavior with
me.
Cdr Sullivan: <<Man.... is Zuri using a
dictionary tonight or what???>>
Agent DanteSmith: ::thinks if there's
anyone planet side that he needs to
see...not this trip!:: +Eden+ well...maybe
we can find something together...
Eden Sitara: << LOL!>>
RAdm AC Zuriyev: <<::cattleprods
Suli::>>
Cdr Sullivan: <<:::braces herself:::>>
Qi raS: +Axe+ Thank you, sir. I'll keep that in
mind.
Cdr Sullivan: <<YOWZA!>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::finally permits herself a
smile:: Admiral ... I appreciate your concern,
and your apology, but it's not necessary.
When you work in Starfleet, you're bound to
see a lot of strange things.
CmdrBrookeDolan: Mistaken and stolen
identities are fairly common. This wasn't your
fault, and you had no knowledge of it at the
time.
LtTommySpark: ::jumps out of bed, better
rested than he's been in days.""
CmdrBrookeDolan: I assure you, I do not
hold Trumbull's actions against you.
Eden Sitara: +Dante+ ::smiles to herself,
lightly:: Well .. I guess it couldn't hurt. Shall
we meet at the docking (shuttle, whatever we
are using to get planetside) area then?
Cdr Sullivan: :::goes back to looking at the
various places that she could visit::: Hmmm....
the hides and haunts of Jack the Ripper......
RAdm AC Zuriyev: ::nods:: Thank you,
Commander.
CmdrBrookeDolan: It's just a shame he's
dead, because I'd really like to kick him in
the teeth. Especially for that damn medallion.
CSciAxelalexa: ::notices an experiment getting
out of control, starts hitting it with a big
wrench::
CmdrBrookeDolan: Making me his toady.
Blech!
RAdm AC Zuriyev: A lot of this crew
shares the same sentiment.
Cdr Sullivan: ::::pauses as she looks at the
guided tours of the Tower of London::::
RAdm AC Zuriyev: I am sure that he is
appearing in a lot of holodeck
fighting programs.
CSciAxelalexa: Crap! Down! I *knew* I
should've been careful about doing stuff to
monkeys... ::slams it with a wrench more::
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::chuckles:: Indeed. At
any rate, sir ... may I be excused? I'd like to
get to see my family before shore leave is
finished.
RAdm AC Zuriyev: ::nods:: Dismissed.
Qi raS: ::looks at the monkey:: Sir, is there any
reason that monkey has four arms?
Agent DanteSmith: +Eden+ alright...I'll
meet you in Transporter Room 4
CmdrBrookeDolan: Thank you, sir. ::turns to
leave, turns back:: You know ... perhaps we
should have a sort of code word. You know,
in case anything like that ever happens again.
CmdrBrookeDolan: Something that only the
two of us would know.
RAdm AC Zuriyev: ::nods:: A sound
notion.
RAdm AC Zuriyev: What would you
suggest?
Eden Sitara: +Dante+ Great.. I'll be there in
five. ::grins, closing the comm::
CmdrBrookeDolan: When I was a child, my
parents and I had a code word, so that no
one could ever abduct me by claiming to be
them, or to be sent by them.
CmdrBrookeDolan: It was ... ahem ...
CSciAxelalexa: Well, it all boils down to...
umm... look over there, quick! ::Attempts to
throw monkey into garbage disposal::
CmdrBrookeDolan: Pork rinds.
LtTommySpark has left the room.
RAdm AC Zuriyev: ::chuckles:: Perhaps
we should use a new word.
Qi raS: ::watches as the monkey smacks into
the wall:: Um, sir... you missed.
Agent DanteSmith: ::hastily packs a bag
and heads for the TR::
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::grins sheepishly::
Perhaps.
Qi raS: ::picks it up and puts it into the
disposer::
CmdrBrookeDolan: How about "screw
Trumbull"?
CSciAxelalexa: Hmm... ::pops out his scythes
and skewers monkey to death::
RAdm AC Zuriyev: ::laughs::
Cdr Sullivan: ::::studies with interest the
*Mixers with Madame Guillotine*::::
CSciAxelalexa: Anyway, as I was saying, it
was to discover how the brain deals with new
limbs, in a hyperaccelerated evolutionary
environment.
Eden Sitara: ::finishes her bag and slings it over
her shoulder, and clunks out of her quarters
in her combat boots, a stark contrast to her
feminine outfit; always the walking
contradiction; heads to the lift::
RAdm AC Zuriyev: Nyet... but perhaps
Navajo?
Qi raS: Ah, interesting. Any results?
RAdm AC Zuriyev: Since they were the
code-talkers of old.
CSciAxelalexa: So far, I've found monkeys
don't like growing new arms.
CSciAxelalexa: ::looks at dead, repeatedly
skewered monkey:: Or skewered.
Qi raS: Well, that explains the irate nature.
CmdrBrookeDolan: Navajo? Ah. Interesting.
That's right, they were sort of primitive
cryptologists. Good word.
Agent DanteSmith: <<wait...isn't that a bit
retro...kinda TOSish...seriously...got the
Uhura look goin on...>>
RAdm AC Zuriyev: The Navajo languages
was indecipherable to the Axis
powers.
RAdm AC Zuriyev: So that shall be the
word.
Eden Sitara: << the skirt ain't that short. :P>>
Cdr Sullivan: :::considers spending a night with
the walking dead of Alcatraz::::
CmdrBrookeDolan: Navajo it is, Admiral.
Very good. Make sure to ask me about it
when I come back onboard, so as to make
sure no one's stolen my identity. ::grins::
RAdm AC Zuriyev: ::chuckles:
Dismissed, Commander.
CmdrBrookeDolan: Thank you, Admiral. See
you when I get back.
RAdm AC Zuriyev: ::nods and goes back
to his padds::
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::exits, returns via magic
edit to TR1::
Eden Sitara: ::::steps off the lift, walking to the
TR::
Agent DanteSmith: ::skids into the
TR...hopin she's not waiting::
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::steps onto pad::
Energize.
CSciAxelalexa: Yes. Quite.
Eden Sitara: ::arriving a few seconds after
Dante::
Agent DanteSmith: ::looks around and
dosn't see her...feels a lil better::
CSciAxelalexa: So, have you decided where
you'll go for leave?
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::shimmers, reappears on
Earth, in Manchester, England::
Agent DanteSmith: ::sees her enter:: hi
::smiles::
Qi raS: Not quite yet. I've only been to Earth
for Academy training, and I never got out
much then.
Eden Sitara: ::walks up to him, smiles lightly::
Hey yourself. You haven't been waiting long,
have you?
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::looks around, breathes
the planet's atmosphere:: Ahhhh ...
Agent DanteSmith: ::chuckles...grins::
nope...just got here myself
CSciAxelalexa: I find it unpleasant, but then
I'm not a mammal.
CSciAxelalexa: Or human.
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::adjusts the strap of her
bag and steps down off the pad; outside,
breathes deeply, it's a glorious day::
Cdr Sullivan: :::snickers at the idea of perhaps
spending a night in the catacombs of Rome....
filled with the dead, decaying, and skeletal
remains of monks and holy persons::::
Eden Sitara: ::glances him over, thinking he
looks pretty nice in off-duty attire:: So .. have
any thought of where to go?
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::finds the nearest public
comm, contacts her parents::
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::straps on her @::
Agent DanteSmith: ::shakes his head:: not
really...someplace sunny might be nice...
Cdr Sullivan: :::sighs and murmurs::: Or maybe
I'll just go to the mall.
CSciAxelalexa: <<Noooo! There are
zombies in the mall!>>
Eden Sitara: And near water. I brought my
bathing suit. ::smiles, meaning that in the most
innocent way::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mother! It's me,
Brooke. I've got some shore leave, I'm down
at the transport site. Is it alright is I swing by?
Cdr Sullivan: <<Axe gets the prize!!>>
Agent DanteSmith: ::looks a lil surprised::
hmm...ok...uh...how bout Greece?
CSciAxelalexa: <<I had a worse comment,
but I've been trying very hard to surpress
it>>
Cdr Sullivan: <<Oh, please????>>
CSciAxelalexa: <<Well, you kept talking
about night with the dead, so "zombie
nookie">>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mrs. Dolan> Brookie!
Sweetie! Father and I would just love to see
you. Rose is here.
Cdr Sullivan: <<:::gives him the puppy dog
eyes::::>>
Agent DanteSmith: <<it'll be somethin
about cricket strippers>>
Cdr Sullivan: <<:::laughs::::>>
Eden Sitara: ::thinks about it a moment:: I don't
think I've ever been there .. sounds nice.
You've been there?
Qi raS: <<um... yeah... LOL>>
Agent DanteSmith: only once
Cdr Sullivan: <<Better than zombie
cookies.....>>
CSciAxelalexa: <<No, no, that's why Axe
doesn't want to go to Earth, the lack of
butterfly strip joints. When those babies get
out of those cocoons... rawwrr.>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> Fantastic! I'll
be home shortly. Anyone else around?
CSciAxelalexa: <<Those go great with
milk.>>
Agent DanteSmith: good friend took me
there last time I was here...well...last
time not on business anyway...
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mrs. Dolan> Afraid
not, dear. But do drop by, you know we
always love having you for as long as you can
be here!
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> Of course,
Mother. Be there shortly.
Eden Sitara: Let's go then. I always love going
to new places. ::nudges him, standing close to
him and looking at him with expectant eyes::

hovertaxi, gives the driver her address::

cards...>>
Eden Sitara: ::grins at him, motioning:: Lead the
way, then Mister Smith.
Cdr Sullivan: <<Flavor text??? You lick
them??>>
CSciAxelalexa: <<"Scratch and lick"?

shimmer, sparkle, and twinkle out::
Eden Sitara: ::shimmers::
CSciAxelalexa: <<oh, god. We got an
e-mail... "if you see strange powder in your
mail, don't touch, sniff, or taste it" Like I

::laughs and hugs her:: I have so much to tell
you! We have to catch up! How've you
been?

telling us to make sure we wash our hands
before calling the authorities.>>
Agent DanteSmith: <<what?!>>
Eden Sitara: ::glances around:: Ooh, it's just
perfect. Just what I need ... ::steps out ahead of
him a few paces, gazing around::
Agent DanteSmith: ::points down the
street:: the beach is that way...
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mrs. Dolan> Yes,
dear. Your letters have sounded miserable.
I'm so sorry they've put you back on that
dreadful ship!
Cdr Sullivan: <<Honest! Listed the things to
look for and then instructed us to wash our
hands with soap and water before calling the
authorities!>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Is it really
haunted? Do you see ghosts? What's it like?
Agent DanteSmith: there's a little inn
overlooking the harbor
Agent DanteSmith: <<that's funky>>
CSciAxelalexa: <<At least they didn't grossly
underestimate your intelligence.>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::laughing::
It's not a ghost ship, it's just filled with some
... memories I'd rather not have to deal with.

promise.
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ ::perks up:: But none
of that now! I don't know how much time I'll
have here, and I don't want to waste any of it

Eden Sitara: An inn ..::quietly repeats, smiling
pretty geniunely:: ... we should probably go
get settled there... before doing anything else.
Cdr Sullivan: Solitaire> I mean it... if you are
a minute late.....
CSciAxelalexa: ::Thinks:: Well, I could make
a small legion of ants into a legion of larger,
angrier, flesheating, acid spitting, fire
breathing ants, and then release them on
Tokyo. Since it's apparently an Earth
tradition or something...
Agent DanteSmith: alright then... ::starts
walking off...leaving her::
Agent DanteSmith: ::stops...turns...smiles::
come on...
Qi raS: ::perks up from previously introspective
mood:: That sounds fun.
Cdr Sullivan: Solitaire> Where are you going?
In case I have to find you?
Eden Sitara: ::takes only a few moments to
catch up:: It looks like a lovely inn from here
.. probably nice and cozy..
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Agreed. Just
give us the short version of the update, and
then let's go have fun!
CSciAxelalexa: Alright, then. Small legion of
deadly, evil insects it is.
Eden Sitara: .. just what we need in contrast to
the ship I would think.
CSciAxelalexa: I'm sure Japan is used to it by
now.
Qi raS: ::grins, starts on the genetic and
biochemical work::
LtTommySpark has entered the room.
Overlord M has left the room.
LtTommySpark: <<SLC Ethernet is gonna get
it!>>
Cdr Sullivan: :::starts walking down the hall
and turns to walk backwards as she faces
her::: Where the spirit takes me.....
LtTommySpark: <<Someone is going to
DIE>>
Agent DanteSmith: ::nods as he walks::
Cdr Sullivan: :::pats the ship and heads for the
transporter room:::
Cdr Sullivan: <<How about one big ass lizard
instead???>>
Eden Sitara: .. Dante? ::glances at him as they
walk::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> Alright, well,
you're mostly up to date from my letters. Our
latest mission was to take the body of an
officer to his homeworld for burial, only he
turned out not to be dead. He trapped the
admiral on the holodeck, making
Agent DanteSmith: <<mmmmm...lizard...>>
CSciAxelalexa: ::begins doing the neural
structuring planning, developing some of the
higher functions::
Agent DanteSmith: ::turns to her:: yes?
CSciAxelalexa: <<Well, that's kind of
overdone. Where as man eating insects...
well, is overdone.>>
Eden Sitara: I know this is probably a strange
thing to be thinking of but .. how are we
going to arrange things at the inn?
CSciAxelalexa: <<but not in Japan. Except
for Mothra. And I don't think she ate
people, she just had tiny midget singing
women.>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: him think everything was
perfectly normal by running a simulation of
the Atlantis. Then he masqueraded as the
admiral, wreaking havoc and bedning the
crew's loyalty to him with some alien
medallion.
Agent DanteSmith: <<what about....dum
dum dum...insect eating men?!?!?!?!>>
Qi raS: <<True... How bout one that just
feeds off of the electrical supplies?>>
Eden Sitara: ::looks at him, referring to the idea
of one or two rooms, ahem::
LtTommySpark: ::jogging through corridors,
popping Swedish fish into his mouth::
Agent DanteSmith: ::missing the point::
well...they usually give a discount for
Starfleet...from what I hear...
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Things got pretty
weird for a while. I thought the admiral was
making a pass at me ... well, that's an
understatement, but thankfully, it was the
impostor. Although apparently, I made a fool
of myself while I was under the
Agent DanteSmith: ::stops walking:: oh...
CmdrBrookeDolan: control of the loyalty
medallion.
Cdr Sullivan: <<How about Killer
Bunnies???>>
CSciAxelalexa: <<Hmmmm... That works,
too. As long as we get a Tokyo "state of
emergency" and they're forced to call on
Ultraman, I'm happy.>>
Qi raS: <<LOL!!>>
LtTommySpark: ::Had a nice visit w/ Jenni,
talked to her about her reasons for moving to
Cambridge::
Agent DanteSmith: <<yeah!!!!
Ultraman!!!>>
LtTommySpark: ::She left a little while ago::
Cdr Sullivan: <<Use the beta capsule!>>
Agent DanteSmith: ::turns to face her::
well...uhm...
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Anyway, then some
guy showed up, claiming to be from Section
31, and killed the impostor. And also,
Tempest's daughter Kathryn showed up. Not
really sure how she got dragged into all of this
...
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Kathryn, your
goddaughter?
CSciAxelalexa: <<Ultraman can stay on Earth
just long enough to make cup noodles!>>
Eden Sitara: ::stops mid-step, looking at him:: I
know it's probably silly to even be worrying
about it .. of course it will be two .. err.. one
.. I .. hmm ....
Agent DanteSmith: ::nods:: I think most of
the rooms have two beds...
Eden Sitara: ::flushes a rosy color briefly::
CSciAxelalexa: ::Continues doing work on
bugs::
Agent DanteSmith: no reason we can't
share...
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> Yes, I
suppose I should have a talk with her soon,
try to find out what's going on and where
she's supposed to be. And how she got
there.
CSciAxelalexa: Hmmm... Attack on Tokyo.
Agent DanteSmith: ::thinks he may have
dodged the bullet...allowing decisions to
be made later::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ I wonder if Tempest
has worked all of that out with her yet? I
really should see her. Kathryn, I mean. Not
Tempest.
Eden Sitara: ::smiles:: Right. Two beds. I
should have thought of that.. silly me.
Eden Sitara: ::continues walking::
Agent DanteSmith: ::exhales and continues
walking::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mrs. Dolan> Are you
still not getting along with the counselor? She
seemed like such a nice young lady. I really
don't know why you two couldn't work
things out, you were such good friends.
LtTommySpark: ::Spent some time w/ his
mother, assuaged the damage done upon her
arrival.::
CSciAxelalexa: Got the bugs genetics
worked?
Cdr Sullivan: <<Hey, Axe... send the bugs to
Greece... nothing helps a romance like a few
ants at the picnic.... if you know what I
mean.>>
LtTommySpark: ::Doesn't really know what
the heck to do w/ the shore leave::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::sighs::
Mother, please, you have no idea. The things
that woman is capable of, the things she did
... I really don't want her for a friend again. She
turned my life upside down three years ago,
and everything's been a
CmdrBrookeDolan: mess since.
Eden Sitara: ::comes up to the inn, looking at it
before approaching the door::
LtTommySpark: Computer, locate Dr. Kina
LtTommySpark: Computer> Dr. Kina is not
onboard the ship
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ If I have to work with
her, I'll be a good Starfleet officer and do my
duty, but I won't be any friendlier than I have
to be.
Agent DanteSmith: <<quiet youse! ..... I'm
gonna put a ban on Cmdrs paging me
when I'm a kissin...>>
LtTommySpark: ::remembers that Kina had
some other plans on the surface::
Qi raS: ::punches a few keys, looks victorious::
Done.
CSciAxelalexa: <<Hmm... That'll teach 'em to
write long poems where "he full thunderously
and his armor clattered upon him">>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mrs. Dolan>
Whatever you say, dear. ::smiles:: Would you
like some tea?
LtTommySpark: Growl...
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::grins::
That's right, Mother. Whenever I'm upset,
just give me tea, that cures everything.
Agent DanteSmith: ::pushes the large
wooden door open and steps in::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mrs. Dolan> ::goes to
make a fresh, hot pot of tea::
CSciAxelalexa: Alright. Then it's time to send
down our force of... umm... insects... to
Tokyo!
LtTommySpark: ::Jenni has cooking classes,
he doesn't want to see his mother, Kina's
busy. There's no one else to visit. Why does
this keep happening to him::
Cdr Sullivan: <<Is this where they see the first
giant bug? Or the half-eaten corpse?>>
Qi raS: ::snickers:: Shall I contact TR3?
Eden Sitara: ::follows him in, glancing around
at the decor inside::
LtTommySpark: Unheard Audience
Participation Voice> BECAUSE YOU
NEED PLOT DEVICES FOR RUNNING
INTO MIGUEL!!!
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Brookie, while
you're here, I want you to meet my new
boyfriend.
CSciAxelalexa: Sure. Make sure they know
that the end goal is to go to Tokyo Tower
and destroy it.
Agent DanteSmith: wow...just as I
remember...
CSciAxelalexa: Because everything ends at
Tokyo Tower.
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::shakes her
head:: Sweetie, why bother? You're just
going to have a new one inside of two weeks. I
never get a chance to meet all of them, what
difference does one more make?
LtTommySpark: ::He could go anywhere on
the damn planet he might want to.... but why?
And why go alone? What gun would that
be?::
Agent DanteSmith: ::steps through the
front room...very historically decorated::
Qi raS: All right then. ::does last-minute tweak
to instincts of bugs::
Cdr Sullivan: <<:::turns her attention to
Brooke's escapade... maybe the boyfriend is
a zombie:::>>
Eden Sitara: This is just beautiful .. I really like
it.. ::following him as he walks::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> ::affronted:: I
beg your pardon!
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> I just mean,
you're a little boy crazy, that's all.
LtTommySpark: ::fun, that is.::
Agent DanteSmith: ::approaches the desk::
CSciAxelalexa: ::Watches as giant insects
begin to terrorize Tokyo:: C'mon, Ultraman!
CSciAxelalexa: Even you cannot defeat my
arthropodal minions!
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Brooke! I am
most certainly NOT "boy crazy!" I just
haven't found the right one yet!
LtTommySpark: ::paces through corridor::
LtTommySpark: ::What to do?::
CSciAxelalexa: GuyAtDesk> May I help
you?
Qi raS: ::looks eagerly into viewscreen, grins::
Agent DanteSmith: uhm...yes...we'd like a
room
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> So make
sure you check out as many as you can until
you do, right? ::grins and ducks::
Eden Sitara: ::leans against the desk, looking at
the man::
CSciAxelalexa: GAD> "We", sir? How
many would "we" be?
Cdr Sullivan: <<:::keeps an eye on Dante.... in
case there is a giant bug or skeleton in that
scenario::::>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Ha ha. Very
amusing. No really, this one's different. He's
Irish!
LtTommySpark: Miguel> ::approaching from
behind:: Tommy!
Agent DanteSmith: ::glances at Eden::
Agent DanteSmith: just the two of us
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::sighs:: Oh,
that's just what you need, little sister. An Irish
boyfriend.
CSciAxelalexa: ::sends instructions to have
BulletProofBob get some bugs, too. Just for
the Christmas spirit::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> His name's
Michael Shannon!
Cdr Sullivan: <<:::pretty sure that Miguel is not
a vampire or werewolf::::>>
Agent DanteSmith: <<did he bring a nice
edible treat Brooke?!>>
Eden Sitara: ::smiles at Dante, then the GAD::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::chokes on
a scone and splutters tea all over:: What did
you say?
LtTommySpark: ::swivels, turns to see Miguel.
Inwardly chastises himself for his excited
reaction::
LtTommySpark: Hey
Agent DanteSmith: << you just wont let him
have peace will you Mr. Bug?>>
CSciAxelalexa: GAD> Can I see a marital
license?
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> What is it? Are
you alright? I just said his name's Michael
Shannon! A good Irish name.
Agent DanteSmith: ::eyes widen:: excuse
me?
CSciAxelalexa: <<Heh heh heh... He shall
forever know my wrath.>>
Cdr Sullivan: <<Sounds like a drunk to me.>>
LtTommySpark: Miguel> ::Leans in,
attentively:: How are ya? What are you doing
for your shore leave?
LtTommySpark: ::shifts awkwardly:: No plans
Agent DanteSmith: we don't want the
honeymoon suite...
LtTommySpark: ::Fuck... he should've told
him he was busy::
Eden Sitara: << Jeezus.. where are we, Dante
.. the bible belt?? :P Marriage license??>>
CSciAxelalexa: GAD> Ah. Of course. So
you would be looking to rent by the hour,
then?
Eden Sitara: <<::dies::>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> It's just ...
well ... ::turns a bit pale:: ... that's ... those are
the names of the two ... my lovers ... who
died ... years ago, separate times, I mean,
just ... it's very coincidental, that's all. Startled
me for a
CmdrBrookeDolan: moment.
Cdr Sullivan: <<:::falls off chair:::>>
Agent DanteSmith: no no no...we're here
for a few days
Eden Sitara: ::blinks a bit at that, giving the
GAD a look::
Agent DanteSmith: ::looks at her...dosn't
think she looks like a prostitute...thinks
it must be himself...looks down::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Oh? ...
::thinks:: Oh ... oh. Right. Michael and
Shannon ...
CSciAxelalexa: GAD> ::impervious to human
and/or non-human thought/emotion/logic::
Ah. Of course. So you and your sister will
be here for how many days?
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> ::awkward
silence::
Agent DanteSmith: ::shrugs...looks at her::
how long sis?
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::clears
throat:: Well ...
Eden Sitara: Oh .. um .. maybe 3, ... bro?
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Mmm. Well.
Ah ... so when do you have to get back?
CSciAxelalexa: ::Watches as Ultraman is
summoned forth to defeat the insects::
Eden Sitara: ::pastes a smile on her face::
LtTommySpark: Miguel> Well... you should
come with me. I'm heading down to visit
some old haunts in Chicago. I'll show you
around. We'll have a great time.
Qi raS: ::grins, this is his first look at Ultraman::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> Um, not
exactly sure. Perhaps I should contact the
ship. Would you excuse me for just a
moment? ::steps into the other room::
CSciAxelalexa: HA! Ultraman, you shall fall
to their superior fighting skills!
Eden Sitara: << LOL, this is priceless.>>
LtTommySpark: Miguel, I -- I think I have
some work to do.
CSciAxelalexa: They are the insects that make
the peoples all fall down!
LtTommySpark: Miguel> You're on fucking
shore leave. You don't have any work to do.
LtTommySpark: I -- I--
Cdr Sullivan: <<Dude... what do you expect
>from a man in latex??>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: ::taps commbadge::
+Atlantis Bridge+ Commander Dolan to
Atlantis Bridge. Who's on duty?
LtTommySpark: Miguel> Oh, come one.
Would it be so horrible to spend a day w/
me.
CmdrBrookeDolan: <<anyone on the
bridge?>>
CSciAxelalexa: ::realizes Ultraman can't hear
him:: Oops.
Cdr Sullivan: <<Well, so much for my idea
that Miguel is charming. :D>>
CSciAxelalexa: GAD> Right. Now, I need
proof that incest is legal from your home
area.
LtTommySpark: ::no.... it wouldn't be horrible
at all. That's the problem:: No -- it wouldn't. I
just...
Qi raS: <<Axe is suffering from Evil Villain
Syndrome... talking to vid-screens... lol>>
Eden Sitara: ::blinks again::
LtTommySpark: Miguel -- I thought I'd been
clear --
LtTommySpark: I'm not really looking for
anything right now.
CmdrBrookeDolan: Bridge Officer> +Dolan+
Commander, this is Lieutenant Shirk. I have
the bridge, the Admiral is in his ready room.
Would you like me to patch you through to
him?
Agent DanteSmith has left the room.
LtTommySpark: Miguel> Well that's good.
Neither am I. ::smiles:: What I want is
standing right in front of me.
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ +Bridge+ No thank
you, Lt. Can you please tell me when shore
leave is finished?
CSciAxelalexa: Other Guy with Big Wrench>
::comes out and hits GAD on head:: Sorry,
he's a mental escape patient. How may I
help you?
Eden Sitara: << Dude! You made him leave!
;P>>
Cdr Sullivan: <<Oops.... you scared him
off!>>
LtTommySpark: ::heart jumps into throat::
CSciAxelalexa: <<Mmm... Wrenches, is
there anything they can't bean?>>
CSciAxelalexa: <<oops.>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: Bridge> +Dolan+ Yes,
ma'am. Thirty-six hours from when we
entered orbit.
LtTommySpark: Miguel> I'm just asking for a
day. To have a good time? As friends? You
take yourself too seriously
Agent DanteSmith has entered the room.
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ +Bridge+
Acknowledged. Thank you, Dolan out.
Agent DanteSmith: <<dag nabit>>
CSciAxelalexa: ::Watches as Ultraman and
Godzilla team up to fight off his minons::
NOOOOO! I had not factored in the effect
of the giant rubbery lizard! NOOOOO!
Eden Sitara: ::sees that Dante's a bit miffed to
talk:: Uh, yes .. we need a room, please. ::to
other guy with wrench::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ ::returns to family:: I've
got just over a day.
LtTommySpark: I do not take myself to
seriously. It's just. There are complcations. I
don't know what I want. I don't know what
you want. I don't know what I'm looking for.
And I think maybe --
Cdr Sullivan: <<<::::emits a high pitched::::
Rawwwr..... rawwwr.>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mrs. Dolan> Oh,
lovely, dear.
CSciAxelalexa: OGWW> Ah, okay. That'll
be 20000 credits.
LtTommySpark: Miguel> You think maybe
you should run and hide? Is that it?
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Mr. Dolan> Yes,
dear, lovely.
Qi raS: <<There's a sick euphemism there
somewhere...>>
LtTommySpark: Miguel> Maybe you should
stop focusing so much on what you want
::leans in:: and start focusing more on who
you want.
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> Um, yes. Yes.
I'm sure we can find plenty to do. You know,
rollicking good times in England and ... what
... not ... ::trails off::
LtTommySpark: ::lets Miguel step closer...
can't seem to move himself away::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::nods::
Mmm hmm ...
CSciAxelalexa: Quick! Insects! Fight them
off! NOOOO! They can't hear me, it's just
a viewscreen! Blast them all!
LtTommySpark: ::feels the man's strength and
warmth approaching, lets their lips touch::
Agent DanteSmith: ::just stands there::
LtTommySpark: ::THen touch again::
CmdrBrookeDolan: <<TWO MINUTE
WARNING>>
CSciAxelalexa: OGWW> ::Looks at
crumpled mental patient:: Hmm... He's not
getting up any time soon.
LtTommySpark: ::accidentally lets himself let
out a wimper::
Cdr Sullivan: <<RUN TOMMY RUN!!!>>
LtTommySpark: Miguel ::smiles:: What was
that?
Agent DanteSmith: well...can we have a
room?
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> Ah ...
perhaps we could go for a walk together?
The weather's really quite nice.
Eden Sitara: 20,000 credits?
LtTommySpark: <<Why?>>
CSciAxelalexa: OGWW> Yes, that'll be
20000 credits.
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Dolan Family>
::collectively nods and murmurs agreement::
Eden Sitara: << Damn, expensive inn. >>
CSciAxelalexa: ::Wonders if he can throw
something at the insects to make them grow
really big::
Agent DanteSmith: now hold on...
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> Alright then,
shall we?
Eden Sitara: Can we charge to the Starfleet
Platinum Card?
CSciAxelalexa: ::finds some "Nutra-grow"::
Cdr Sullivan: <<Seems to be the thing to do
the night before Halloween.>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Dolan Family> Yes.
Yes, let's do.
Agent DanteSmith: <<wow...the Dolan's
can speak in stereo!>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Rose> ::takes
Brooke's arm:: Come, Brookie. Let's walk.
::smiles::
CSciAxelalexa: ::Runs to the airlock, and
throws it out towards Japan, and runs back to
the viewscreen::
CmdrBrookeDolan: @ Brooke> ::hugs her
little sister:: It's good to be back, Rose. ::smiles::
LtTommySpark: <<Wait -- Suli, did Miguel
come off sleazy just now?>>
CSciAxelalexa: ::Watches box slowly drift
towards Earth::
LtTommySpark: <<That might be a
problem>>
CSciAxelalexa: OGWW> Sure thing.
Cdr Sullivan: <<Just a tad.>>
CmdrBrookeDolan: PAUSE SIM
CmdrBrookeDolan: PAUSE SIM
CmdrBrookeDolan: PAUSE SIM
Agent DanteSmith: <<lol...good Axe...very
Power Ranger-ish>>
LtTommySpark: ::smiles:: Maybe I could
come with you...
