knowing if he's technically up for leave yet. If anyone asks, he'll say he got

Amythyst Grey has joined this chat.
Lt jg D Ellis: Because Ethen's parnets know about
him
WillFMarlowe: ::nods:: It happens sometimes. All too often,
there is nothing to be done about it. ::walks over to a sonic wash basin and
cleans the blood from his hands::
ElRiov trIdrys: (( hey Gem ))
7:50 PM
VAdm Blackthorne: >>Hi, Gem!<<
Amythyst Grey: >Hiya!<

and decides to take a walk::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::is curious about the
blood but doesn't ask:: what are you doing here anyways sir? we're on
shoreleave or didn't you hear?
LtJGAaron Markus: ((hello Gem))

WillFMarlowe: No. I've spent the last several hours in the

information::
LtDougMcKnight: Ethan? We are talking Cervantes Ethan here,
right?
ElRiov trIdrys: :::heads to SB with her::::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::nods::

and down the hall to the TL::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ohh, i didn't know there
were patients down there, ohh gosh, well what are you doing here, lets go down
and help them ::hops off the biobed::
WillFMarlowe: Sorry I had to leave in such a rush.
WillFMarlowe: No, no, it's all right. The last of them have
been transfered to the starbase medical center.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ohhh ::hops back up onto
the biobed::
LtDougMcKnight: And you and Learties never made arrangements?
As I recall, that Kitsune Syndrome thing did sorta sneak up on him.
ElRiov trIdrys: :::enters SB with T'Nal::: All right now let's get
you checked out ... how about getting on that biobed here. ::indicates one::
Lt jg D Ellis: He signed away all his rights but
his parents have decided that that doesn't inculed theirs
WillFMarlowe: What about you? Aren't you going to get out of
here for a while?
ElRiov trIdrys: T'Nal > :::gives him a withering look::: Like I
cad climb boutaids ... sheesh I deed help here.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::steps inside TL:: Deck 8
LtDougMcKnight: ::Takes another long drink:: Well then, I guess
there's one question that really needs answering.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::shrugs:: i don't really
know anyone yet, most of the people i've met are still dealing with the effects
of everything and don't want to see me right now
ElRiov trIdrys: :::helps her onto the biobed, wondering how much
his patience is going to be tested by his testy ... patient :::
ElRiov trIdrys: ( )
Lt jg D Ellis: ::looks at him oddly:: and what
would that be?
VAdm Blackthorne: ::finishes the drink, walks over to
the band's tip jar and places one of his cigars in it::
LtDougMcKnight: Do his folks have themselves a time machine?

LtJGAaron Markus: ::steps off the turbo lift and proceeds a short
way before coming to an abrupt halt and turning to ring Kiley's chime::
Kiley Airell: ::finishes the readings, takes the
sections that are highlighted and puts them in another file::
Kiley Airell: ::hears the chime:: Come in
LtJGAaron Markus: ::steps in:: I'm not intruding am I?
LtJGNicoleWeis: why don't you go though
and enjoy your shore leave, i can hold down sick bay for you ::smiles::
WillFMarlowe: Care to join me? I was going to see what I can
do here, but there is no immediate need for this place when we're docked at a
starbase.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::walks around, observing people and
enjoying the cigar::
ElRiov trIdrys: One moment. :::goes over to replicator and orders
some herbal tea as per Ellis's recommendation:::
LtDougMcKnight: And you have the signature of the deceased,
something Learties chose not to seek permission on before going ahead with it.
Kiley Airell: ::sits up on the bed and smiles:: Not
at all. I was just finishing reading up on some things.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::nods and smiles:: yeah,
i'd like that, it'll be better then sitting here all day, no offense to sick
bay of course
ElRiov trIdrys: :::brings it back, holds mug out::: Here this out
to clear up your ...
Amythyst Grey has left this chat.
ElRiov trIdrys: T
LtDougMcKnight: And seeing as how he was a big boy, I'd say
that was his call. A judge isn't going to ignore a legally binding document.
LtJGAaron Markus: Great...I was wondering if you were getting
sick of being couped up in here and would like to join me for a walk?
ElRiov trIdrys: T'Nal > :::SMACKs him and sends the mug flying,
splattering tea on his uniform:::
LtDougMcKnight: But hey, where are my manners?
LtDougMcKnight: ::Gestures to his glass:: Want one? Or maybe
something a bit stronger in your case.
Kiley Airell: ::smiles:: I'd love to take a walk
Lt jg D Ellis: ::nods:: I know that in my head..
Doesnt mean the threat doesn;t still scare me.. I even thought of sending Noah
to live with my.... ::shudders:: mother!
LtJGNicoleWeis: where are you headed sir?
ElRiov trIdrys: What the hell was THAT for? I was trying to give
you some tea to clear your sneezing and all.
WillFMarlowe: I understand. If I have to take one more breath
of air from this damaged recycler system, I'll space myself.
LtDougMcKnight: Your fundamentalist Bajoran mother?
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::laughs and hops off
biobed to stand next to him::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::smiles:: Great 'cause we happen to be up in
the rotation...
WillFMarlowe: ::stops on his way to the door:: I haven't the
faintest idea. Whatever catches my attention, I suppose.
Lt jg D Ellis: (You know your scaring me with all
the stuff you rememeber from Vantes.. LOL)
VAdm Blackthorne: ::takes a seat on a bench
overlooking a lower floor and puffs slowly::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::nods again:: That would be her
LtDougMcKnight: (I have a head for useless trivia.)
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::smiles and nods::
sounds great to me, i used to do that when i lived at home
Kiley Airell: (you have a Trivial mind then?)
WillFMarlowe: ::walks with her down the corridor headed for
the turbolift:: Are you hungry?
LtDougMcKnight: (Hell, I knew the name of Francis Drake's
ship.)
WillFMarlowe: ((Bravo, Kiley.))
ElRiov trIdrys: T'Nal > Yeah thad's add I deed. Tea.
:::HUMPHs::: I'b id paid here ad you brig be TEA!!!!! :::tries to SMACK him
again::::
LtJGAaron Markus: Shall we have a quick looksee around the
station? ::Offers his arm to escort her.::
LtJGNicoleWeis: actually, yeah i am, i
forgot about food
ElRiov trIdrys: :::ducks in time:::
8:00 PM
LtDougMcKnight: Well, let's look at it logically. You have
Learties' last will and testament, so your legal claim to this child is solid.
What else do they have to throw at you?
WillFMarlowe: ::steps into the lift after her:: Deck ten.
Kiley Airell: Sure. ::takes the arm, smiling,
remembering to bring the PADD::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::twiddles her thumbs,
trying to think of something to say::
WillFMarlowe: I haven't eaten either since . . . since I
don't remember when.
LtDougMcKnight: And of course, tell anyone I resorted to logic
first, and I shoot you.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::waves for a waitress to bring two
more of what McKnight has and then points towards where the ship is:: How about
attacking enagement rings and mother's day ear rings
LtJGAaron Markus: ::Escorts Kiley out to the docking port:: So
what's that? ::points at the padd::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::laughs lightly:: i
think i ate last night but i'm not sure
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Creating a nice cloud of smoke::
amythystcrystals has joined this chat.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ((AHHH!!! not more
crystals))
LtDougMcKnight: Ah...baby on the front lines you mean.
LtJGAaron Markus: Environmental Systems on the station>
::sucks up the Admiral's smoke::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ((srry, i just had to))
Kiley Airell: Oh, this? ::indicating the PADD::
Just has the invormation I told you I was going to look up. On telepathy.
Kiley Airell: ((LOL))
Lt jg D Ellis: ( ::blinks:: Crystals? They have a
screen name now?)
VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> A subspace communique,
marked urgent, arrives from Newer Jersey colony to Atlantis.
LtJGAaron Markus: Oh...Find anything useful?
Kiley Airell: (Aparently Ellis, maybe we can
finally communicate with them properly
)
WillFMarlowe: ::off the lift, up the corridor, down the
gangway and onto the station, etc., etc.:: Let's see . . . Chinese? Martian?
Betazoid?
Lt jg D Ellis: ::nods and chugs have the guinness::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ummm, ::thinks hard for a
moment while stomach growls:: ummm, why don't you choose, i've only ever had
chinese before
Kiley Airell: Yeah, I found quite a bit of
information that I think can help.
Lt jg D Ellis: (as long as they don't add in any
more weird sounds.. lol)
LtDougMcKnight: ::Pulls over a bowl full of pretzels and grabs
a few out of the bowl:: Hey hey, one does not CHUG Guiness.
Kiley Airell: ((What's the fun if they don't?))
VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The new of the communique
is automatically forwarded to Blackthorne's commbadge, which beeps impatiently
from his pocket.
8:05 PM
LtDougMcKnight: That's the pride of Dublin you've got there,
not a Bud Ice.
WillFMarlowe: I think I'd like something spicy. Martian.
::looks at her:: Do you approve?
AmythystCrystals: >::smiles::
Weird sounds?<
Lt jg D Ellis: ::puts the glass down and licks the
foam from her lip::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::nods:: sounds good to
me
LtJGAaron Markus: Cool. I just happened to finish up a round of
meditation...
Lt jg D Ellis: (yeah... SCEEEEE.. is a weird
sound.. lol)
VAdm Blackthorne: ::takes out the commbadge and
acknowledges it, then heads back to the docking level::
LtJGAaron Markus: It's doing it's job...so far.
Kiley Airell: Good to hear.
LtJGAaron Markus: Of course the early stages isn't so bad.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::crosses the docking bridge into
the Atlantis's saucer, and pauses to have a look out the windows at her hull
damage::
LtDougMcKnight: Anyway...I'm the first to agree that starship
life has its risks. I am security, after all. But there's something to be said
for precedent.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Sees that it's mostly done, nods
in approval::
Lt jg D Ellis: Ya know if they'd just asked I
wouldn't have denided them a role in his life but to just up and threaten me
the way they did..
Kiley Airell: How often do you find yourself having
to meditate?
LtDougMcKnight: There have been families on starships for
nearly a century.
WillFMarlowe: ::leads her into a restaurant and pulls out a
chair, motioning for her to sit::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::disposes of the remains of the
cigar in a waste receptacle and heads aboard::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::nods:: That's why I picked
Atlantis
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::blushes lightly:: thank
you sir ::sits down::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::enters the TL:: Bridge.
LtJGAaron Markus: Well, about every couple of hours actually...
LtDougMcKnight: Oh, no question. The folks are bums. Up their
ass with broken glass.
LtJGAaron Markus: But that's without any drug intervention too.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::nearly laughs::
Kiley Airell: ::stops and looks at him:: Really?
You can't even go a day?
VAdm Blackthorne: ::arrives on the quiet bridge, hands
in jacket pockets, and removes his sunglasses as he enters the RR::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::shakes his head::
LtDougMcKnight: Look, you know I'll be happy to vouch for your
competence...or whatever the legalese for it is.
LtJGAaron Markus: It's been worse...
WillFMarlowe: ::chuckles a little:: Thank my mother. ::sits
down:: "So this is the future, eh? Warp speed, transporters, phasers, and
not one thought for manners."
LtJGAaron Markus: I've gone this long before.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::hangs the jacket up and sits down
behind his desk, then answers the comm:: Ian Blackthorne here.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::laughs::
Lt jg D Ellis: Thanks McKnight ::smiles a bit and
sips the drink this time::
WillFMarlowe: Waitress> ::ambles over:: Can I get you
anything?
LtJGNicoleWeis: well, i must say, it's
nice to meet men with manners
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::smiles at the waitress
and waits for will to order::
LtDougMcKnight: That's the stuff. I'll make a respectable drunk
out of you yet.
Kiley Airell: What drug intervention?
LtDougMcKnight: ::Passes her the pretzels::
8:10 PM
Lt jg D Ellis: ::laughs:: Is now when I slip in the
not very pc joke about that being easy given who my father is?
WillFMarlowe: House salad, I think. ::looks at Nicole, as
does the waitress after taking down his order::
LtJGAaron Markus: I've heard there were certain drugs that could
help stifle the need a little...::confused look:: Aren't there?
Lt jg D Ellis: ::takes a pretzel and wishs there
were some hot fudge around::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::sits feeling stupid,
not knowing what to order:: ahhh, ummm, yeah, i guess i'll have the same
::blushes feriously::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::gives T'Nal a sedative & confers w/a
nurse:::
LtDougMcKnight: Oh hey, good one. Next step is a slur about the
French.
WillFMarlowe: You say you've never had Martian before?
Lt jg D Ellis: (You gave a pregnant woman a
sedative?)
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::nods:: we don't go out
to eat at home
Kiley Airell: Yeah, there are. It's been so long
since I've had to read up on that information. If you give me some time I could
probably find it for you.
Lt jg D Ellis: bring out the frogs legs and I will
LtDougMcKnight: I mean, I won't say none of them can fight, but
there's a reason you don't see the Frogs in charge of security.
WillFMarlowe: ::nods:: I think you'll like it.
LtJGNicoleWeis: i'm sure i will, i like
most things i've tried
Lt jg D Ellis: (No you just make them marines )
LtJGAaron Markus: Actually, I'm hoping I won't need them. I'd
like to try and ride this out, if our leave isn't called short anyways.
ElRiov trIdrys: (this is the 24th century, this one is approved for
pregnant women)
Lt jg D Ellis: (lol.)
LtJGAaron Markus: I mean, the fact that I'm 3/4 human should
help...I hope.
WillFMarlowe: ::another waiter floats over to the table and
leaves them each a glass of a kind of chilled tea before speeding away::
Kiley Airell: I'm sure it does.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::looks around, taking in
the sights::
LtJGNicoleWeis: this is a cool looking
joint
LtJGAaron Markus: But if I do need anything, you'll be the first
to know. And hopefully the only one.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::loves the subspace delay::
AmythystCrystals: +T+ Admiral, thank
you for your time. I... know you don't know who I am, but I am asking you for
your help.
Kiley Airell: Well, it's a good thing that I'm a
medical doctor as well as a counselor, isn't it? ::grins::
WillFMarlowe: ::takes a drink and sighs a relaxed sort of
sigh, enjoying the flavor and coolness of the tea:: I think so.
8:15 PM
LtDougMcKnight: So, should I talk to station security about
this photographer? There are ordnances against harassment you know.
ElRiov trIdrys has left this chat.
LtJGAaron Markus: Yes.
Lt jg D Ellis: No you put the Irish in Sec, seeing
as how they've been concered and occupied more then Bajor, ::winks::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::tries the tea and likes
it alot:: ohh my, this stuff is good ::blushes at saying "ohh my"::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::blinks as he sees the gorgeous
woman on the screen:: My help? What with? And may I ask why are you on Newer
Jersey when that colony has been evacuated?
LtJGAaron Markus: So why did you go into counseling? You said the
other night that you miss doing medical...
Kiley Airell: (::looks around for the lions,
tigers, and bears:
Lt jg D Ellis: ::shakes her head:: I don't think
we'll be here much longer and I doubt he'll come onto the ship
WillFMarlowe: ::smiles a little as she turns an ever-deeper
shade of red:: Are you quite all right?
AmythystCrystals: +T+ ::smiles
sunnily:: I am... how would you call it... a refugee... of the Apocalypse that
happened here.
Kiley Airell: I do miss it. ::hesitates:: I just
needed a change.
LtDougMcKnight: Fair enough. And FYI, my ancestors were
Highlanders, missy. Both Catholic, both Celts, but there's a difference.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::blushes again:: ohh
umm, yeah i think i am, i just feel like i'm making a fool out of myself is all
::tries to laugh at herself::
LtJGAaron Markus: Did it get a little too monatonous?
Lt jg D Ellis: Indeed
Kiley Airell: No . . .
LtDougMcKnight: Which will come to me.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::narrows his eyebrows but finds
himself already wanting to believe her:: A refugee? We evacuated everyone from
the planet's surface, except for the remains of the crystalline troops.
WillFMarlowe: Lieutenant, relax. ::sits back as their
waitress sets their plates in front of them:: You're not making a fool out of
yourself.
Lt jg D Ellis: (We forgot someone? It's Drake's
fault!)
LtJGAaron Markus: ::wonders if he's going too far asking her
things too private::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::nods and smiles:: thank
you sir
Kiley Airell: ((LOL))
LtJGAaron Markus: ((LOL))
Kiley Airell: ::changing the subject:: have you
ever been to this SB before?
LtJGAaron Markus: ((blame the one who's not here))
WillFMarlowe: I'm not sure I ever got around to
congratulating you, by the way.
AmythystCrystals: +T+ Well... this is
hard to explain, Admiral. ::smiles warmly at him:: But I'll try my best.
VAdm Blackthorne: Please. ::returns the smile:: You
have my attention.
LtJGNicoleWeis: congratulating me for
what?
WillFMarlowe: ::harpoons a few of the red-spackled greens
along with some bits of seasoned meat:: Your promotion.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Sighs contentedly as he reaches the halfway
mark on his second glass:: Been awhile since I had one of these off the tap.
Replicators just aren't the same.
8:20 PM
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::fingers her pips:: ohh,
thank you sir
AmythystCrystals: +T+ You see... the
crystalline warriors weren't completely killed off...
VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods:: We're aware of their
regenerative properties.
LtDougMcKnight: It's like a hot dog. It's perfectly edible
whatever way you make it, but it takes a grill to make a REAL hot dog.
Lt jg D Ellis: Oh I know. They're awful at making
anything Bajorin
WillFMarlowe: ::chews and pauses for a moment, considering
the flavor, then swallows:: Impressive. Nothing like the real thing, of course,
but it's quite good. Try it.
AmythystCrystals: +T+ And, as you
know, some ... how would you say it... essesnces, I suppose, of dying people
tend to linger behind when the life has been ended abruptly.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::looks a little disappointed:: I'm sorry...You
don't want to talk about it. ::short pause and looks up:: No. In fact I think
we may be a little bit lost...
LtDougMcKnight: Well, this is Star Fleet. I'll bet the computer
has orders to only make reduced fat hasparat.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::nods and tries some
salad::
LtJGNicoleWeis: mmmm, it is good
::enjoying the tastes eats some more::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::raises an eyebrow::
Kiley Airell: No reason to be sorry Aaron.
::chuckles:: Being Lost isn't all bad ya know.
AmythystCrystals: ::smiles at him,
her lovely violet eyes fairly glowing::
Lt jg D Ellis: That's what they get for going with
the atkins program of replaction
VAdm Blackthorne: ::watches her eyes::
LtJGNicoleWeis: this is exteremly good,
thank you so much sir
LtDougMcKnight: Which is why the first thing I did when I moved
in was to replicate a George Foreman grill.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::slowly takes Kiley's hand in his:: How about
being found?
WillFMarlowe: I'm glad you like it. ::sips his drink and
looks out across the promenade::
Lt jg D Ellis: (Hot dogs on a GFG Rock!)
AmythystCrystals: +T+ Admiral... the
clearest way that I can explain my presence is... well... a merging... a
combination of the best of your people and the best of the crystalline people.
LtDougMcKnight: Mind you, sooner or later, I'm gonna get back
to Montana, and then, there's gonna be a proper barbecue. The word, Ms. Ellis,
is fire.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::is glad there is food
to eat so that there isn't too awkward a silence::
Kiley Airell: ::chuckles, starts walking, still
holding his hand:: Let's keep walking.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::stares:: You're joking.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::walks on::
Lt jg D Ellis: (Whoa! She's like Emma Frost in the
New X-Men comics)
AmythystCrystals: +T+ ::spreads her
hands out:: Admiral, if you could come up with a better explanation, I would be
most happy to hear it... all I know is that I was not... and now, out of the
carnage... I am.
Lt jg D Ellis: it's been a long time since I;ve
been to a proper bbq
8:25 PM
Lt jg D Ellis: My father didn't have a chance when
I was home last
WillFMarlowe: I've always wondered what it would be like to
work on a starbase. So many different races come through here that the chief
medical officer must have to deal with at least one new disease every day.
VAdm Blackthorne: Alright, granting that you are what
you say you are, and ::is inclined to believe her, but doesn't say it outloud::
How is it that you need my help?
Kiley Airell: When we get back to the ship, we could
start with the sessions, if you'd like.
LtDougMcKnight: Well then, if you should happen to find
yourself in the neighborhood some time, you have an open invitation.
LtDougMcKnight: The fishing alone is worth the trip.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::eyes get large:: at
least one?? I don't think i could work on a starbase then, i have a hard enough
time on that atlantis
LtJGAaron Markus: That would be acceptable. ::tries to keep a
straight face but then chuckles a little::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::smiles:: Why thank you McKnight, I
may have to take you up on that..
AmythystCrystals: +T+ ::steps closer
to the screen, her white-blonde hair flowing behind her, almost aparkling:: I
need to go home.
AmythystCrystals: *sparkling
Lt jg D Ellis: I don't want Noah becoming a
complete ship brat and Montana is a lovely area
VAdm Blackthorne: ::watching her hair for a moment,
then replies:: Home? Earth?
Kiley Airell: ::smiles:: Where do you see yourself
in 10 years?
WillFMarlowe: ::turns back to her and smiles, his brow
arched:: Nonsense. You're a wonderful doctor.
AmythystCrystals: +T+ No, not
Earth... that would be... well, your home, Ian.
AmythystCrystals: +T+ ::smiles warmly
again::
VAdm Blackthorne: You're part human, though... so,
where would your home would be?
AmythystCrystals: +T+ I need to go to
the Crystalline homeworld.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::blushes again:: thank
you sir, but i still don't know if i could handle a new desease everyday
VAdm Blackthorne: ::pauses::
LtDougMcKnight: Oh yeah. Went there for a camping trip a few
times...never wanted to leave.
VAdm Blackthorne: Getting there without being
destroyed would be almost impossible, if not impossible.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::wonders why the sudden subject change:: Ummm.
I haven't the faintest idea... When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be in
starfleet. Now that I'm here...all I want to do is......be in starfleet. Sound
corny?
LtDougMcKnight: Well, and I did. There's nothing more beautiful
than a New England autumn. But I built a cabin to make sure I'd always have
something there to go back to.
Lt jg D Ellis: You should try camping in new
mexico.. though it's not quiet the same as my homeworld
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Briefly wonders about how she knew
where he was from::
Kiley Airell: ::chuckles:: no. You plan on being a
starship captian one day?
8:30 PM
AmythystCrystals: +T+ I think that I
could help you there, Admiral.
VAdm Blackthorne: How so?
AmythystCrystals: +T+ Being half
human and half Crystal, I could help bridge the gap between our people.
WillFMarlowe: ::drinks the last of his tea and sighs, content
for the moment:: We're doctors. We have to find ways to cope with a difficult
situation.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::raises his eyebrows and lets out a sigh:: I
haven't really thought of that...Maybe....
VAdm Blackthorne: Truly? That has been our failing in
relations with the Crystals so far.
LtDougMcKnight: Oh, I have actually. Marine survival training.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::nods and looks at her
plate:: i know and i do, it's just...I don't know, it seems even more scary
::shrugs::
VAdm Blackthorne: We can barely talk to them.
LtDougMcKnight: Great American Desert, dontcha know. Mind you,
that's not the best way to appreciate your surroundings.
LtJGAaron Markus: I think I'd like to see if I make it past Lt.
JG first...
AmythystCrystals: ::smiles again::+T+
Perhaps this is your destiny, then, to foster that impossible understanding.
Kiley Airell: *chuckles*
LtJGAaron Markus: ::smiles::
LtJGAaron Markus: So what about you?
Kiley Airell: You'll make it past jg . . . as long
as you don't tick the Admiral off ::grins::
Lt jg D Ellis: No it's not..
VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods:: Alright. Too many have died
already in this conflict, and if you are what you say you are, then I would
never forgive myself for not giving you a chance.
Kiley Airell: Me? hmmm . . . in 10 years? I don't
know. I want to be off traveling the Galaxy, meeting new people.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Wonders why the hell he agreed so
quickly::
AmythystCrystals: +T+ Please,
Admiral. You are the reason for my creation... please help me fulfill my own
destiny?
WillFMarlowe: ::watches a large, reptilian humanoid walk by,
and winces when he--she? it?--coughs loudly before walking into a shop::
WillFMarlowe: It would be intimidating, wouldn't it?
LtJGAaron Markus: Oh I'm quite sure I'll end up ticking him off
once in a while...Well it seems to me you're doing that right now...
VAdm Blackthorne: Atlantis will depart within the hour
and should be there in under a day.
Lt jg D Ellis: (::blinks:: Does that make the
Admiral Crystals daddy? ::hides:: )
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::noticed where his eyes
were and looks:: ::nods head slowly:: even more so then it is on the atlantis
VAdm Blackthorne: When I arrive... be ready to fully
explain some things.
AmythystCrystals: >Pffft... I was
faceted, not born, Brat. :-P <
LtJGNicoleWeis: how long have you been on
the atlantis sir/
LtJGNicoleWeis: ?
VAdm Blackthorne: > :-p <
Lt jg D Ellis: ()
Kiley Airell: Yeah, that I am. I really enjoy being
on the Bridge. That is one thing that I rarely did as a medical officer. Also,
I never knew what was going on.
VAdm Blackthorne: I still have a lot of questions.
8:35 PM
LtJGAaron Markus: HA!!!
WillFMarlowe: ::sits back and thinks:: A little longer than a
year.
AmythystCrystals: +T+::smiles, her
eyes full of crystal tears:: I'll be happy to answer any and all questions you
have. Thank you so very much.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ohh, were you stationed
anywhere else before?
LtJGAaron Markus: Sorry...I just always thought that was a little
funny...
VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods:: See you in a day.
Blackthorne out.
LtDougMcKnight: Well, I'll have to do better with a visit one
of these days. If Atlantis ever gets back to Earth.
Kiley Airell: what? That I like being on the
Bridge?
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Closes the comm and stares at the
wall, incredulous::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::wishs she had that whole in the
floor in the lab to chuck peanuts in::
LtJGAaron Markus: No...that the doctors never know what's going
on...
Kiley Airell: Or that I like knowing what's going
on?
LtDougMcKnight: Then again, I suppose I could just retire from
this life once the mission is over. I'll be past 40 by then.
VAdm Blackthorne: +Dockmaster+ Admiral Blackthorne to
Dockmaster.
Kiley Airell: Well . . . think about it? We're
stuck in sickbay while all the action is going on.
VAdm Blackthorne: +Blackthorne+ Dockmaster here, go
ahead sir.
Lt jg D Ellis: If we dont soon my parents are
likely to show up on a transport shuttle
LtJGAaron Markus: True...That's why I like being at the helm...I
get to make the action...
VAdm Blackthorne: +Dockmaster+ Initiate emergency
recall of Atlantis crew. Atlantis will be departing fifty five minutes.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Grins:: I'll be sure to alert security.
Kiley Airell: ::chuckles::
WillFMarlowe: No. I was fresh out of med school when I came
aboard. ::spears a few more greens and changes the subject:: Well, this is odd.
We've almost managed to finish a meal without some new crisis developing.
VAdm Blackthorne: D> +Blackthorne+ Aye aye,
Admiral.
LtJGAaron Markus: Does that mean I have a control problem?
LtJGAaron Markus: ::chuckles::
Kiley Airell: Yup
LtJGAaron Markus: Figures.
Lt jg D Ellis: Good, it'll give me and Noah time to
find an escape pod.. ::smiles::
Kiley Airell: that's exactly what it means :: tries
not to smile::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::nods:: it's sorta nice,
i needed this little break
LtDougMcKnight: Kind of an ignominions getaway vehicle for a
fighter jock, but it works.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::looks at her, waiting for the smile::
Kiley Airell: ::grins and chuckles::
LtJGAaron Markus: Uh huh.
VAdm Blackthorne: Dockmaster> +STATIONWIDE+ All USS
Atlantis crew, return to ship immediately.
Kiley Airell: ::stops, sighs:: Now what?
LtJGAaron Markus: ::looks up at the announcement:: What the?
LtDougMcKnight: ::Looks up at the intercom:: Ah, crap.
Kiley Airell: Looks like we better go. ::looks
around:: at least I know where we are now!
Lt jg D Ellis: Taking an infant pron to ear
infections in a fligter is not the best of ideas.. ::laughs:: beside spit up is
so hard to get out of flight suits
LtDougMcKnight: ::Looks to the bartender:: Barkeep, gimme a six
pack for the road, will ya?
WillFMarlowe: ::drops his fork onto the plate with an
overloud clatter and dabs at his lips with a napkin:: Damn.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::walks out onto the bridge::
Computer, initiate pre-departure sequence.
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::looks up at him:: is
something wrong?
VAdm Blackthorne: >> Infant pr0n???? Good lord
no!! <<
LtJGAaron Markus: Damn, I thought we could just stay lost
here...lead the way.
8:40 PM
Lt jg D Ellis: (:-p That's not what I meant!)
WillFMarlowe: The intercom. We're to report back to the ship
now.
Kiley Airell: ::heads for the Atlantis:: We are
almost back where we started.
AmythystCrystals: >Ewwwww!<
VAdm Blackthorne: ::notices the sound of the
automation center kicking in as the ship starts to come to life, without all of
its crew::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ohh yeah, that thing,
darn it, ohh well, i knew free time would be short lived :stands up::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::stays right with Kiley just noticing they
were still holding hands::
WillFMarlowe: ::ceases to be annoyed and laughs as he
stands:: I had to say it.
Lt jg D Ellis: man I hope this recall has nothing
to do with gems
WillFMarlowe: ::gestures toward the door:: After you.
AmythystCrystals: >Watch it,
Brat!<
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::moves ahead of him,
walking back to the ship::
LtJGAaron Markus: ((LOL))
Lt jg D Ellis: (What? Oh! ::laughs:: )
Kiley Airell: ((LOL . . . you know you did that on
purpose Ellis!))
LtDougMcKnight: ::Takes the six pack and pays the establishment
for all the drinks:: What the hell are we going to do with the Atlantis anyway?
The thing still looks like a tin can that red necks have been shooting off a
fence.
Kiley Airell: ::enters the Atlantis and makes way
to the bridge::
Lt jg D Ellis: duct tape?
LtDougMcKnight: (Oh, hey, Gems. Just got that.)
WillFMarlowe: ::frowns as the clean station air is replaced
by the still somewhat acrid smell of the battle-damaged Atlantis::
Kiley Airell: ((lol . . .duct tape can fix
anything))
LtJGAaron Markus: ::still with Kiley::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::scruntches up nose::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods to Airell:: Counselor.
VAdm Blackthorne: Ensign Markus, continue
predeparture. We are scheduled for fifty minutes from now, but we will leave as
soon as everyone is on board.
LtJGNicoleWeis: think they'll get rid of
this smell soon?
LtDougMcKnight: ::Nods as he heads for Atlantis:: That and a
boat load of WD40.
VAdm Blackthorne: Which better be in five minutes.
VAdm Blackthorne: >> LtJG, sorry <<
Lt jg D Ellis: ::nods:: and some bubble gum for the
tougher jobs
LtJGAaron Markus: Aye sir...::sits down at Helm/Ops and hurries
up on the prelaunch::
Lt jg D Ellis: She'll hold
WillFMarlowe: They'd better, or they'll need to find a new
CMO.
Kiley Airell: ::looks to Aaron, with a look that
says "I have a bad feeling about this." Takes her seat next to the
Admiral's chair::
VAdm Blackthorne: Status of crew recall?
LtJGAaron Markus: ((no prob...didn't even notice...LOL))
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::frowns at the thought
of a different CMO then laughs::
WillFMarlowe: ::tosses a look back over his shoulder at the
airlock through which crewmembers are still pouring in from the station::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::walking though the air lock:: I
should go see what else I can drop down the whole in my lab floor
WillFMarlowe: ::enters a lift after her:: Sickbay.
Kiley Airell: ::looks over to the Admiral, quite
concerned::
8:45 PM
Lt jg D Ellis: I still have no idea where that
goes..
LtJGAaron Markus: ::noticed Kiley's look and tried to give her a
reasurring smile:: Checking. ::checks:: Still a few not onboard.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Glares:: I have a few guesses.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::looks at him:: What?
VAdm Blackthorne: ::drums his fingers impatiently on
the chair::
VAdm Blackthorne: All will be explained, Counselor.
LtDougMcKnight: Come on down to my office some time. The place
has a brand spanking new design feature.
LtDougMcKnight: A goddam SUN ROOF!
Kiley Airell: ((LOL))
Lt jg D Ellis: Your offi.. ::blushs:: No way..
LtJGAaron Markus: ::checks the predeparture status:: Predeparture
ready...Just waiting for all hands to get onboard.
VAdm Blackthorne: >>Hahahaha <<<
Lt jg D Ellis: ::cracks up::
LtDougMcKnight: Yes way.
Kiley Airell: ::nods, still has a bad feeling::
VAdm Blackthorne: Obtain clearance for an accelerated
departure.
Lt jg D Ellis: would you believe me if I said Drake
did it?
LtDougMcKnight: No, much as I'd like to.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::snaps her fingers::
LtDougMcKnight: Besides, I can't yell at Drake.
WillFMarlowe: ::walks off the lift and down the corridor to
sickbay:: It was a nice leave while it lasted, anyway. And the company was
enjoyable. ::smiles at Weis one last time before entering sickbay::
Lt jg D Ellis: well just be glad I didn't mistake
it for a diaper geinie
LtJGAaron Markus: Aye, sir...::sends a communique to dockmaster
asking for accelerated departure clearance::
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::smiles and walks in
behind:: yes it was, thank you for lunch sir
WillFMarlowe: ::wanders off:: Nelson! Nelson, where is Nurse
Meirill? She's supposed to be the duty nurse now . . .
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::does her ting:
LtDougMcKnight: ::Glares again:: Careful, squirt. I do have a
few weeks on you when it comes to date of promotion.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::gets a message back:: Dockmaster clears
accelerated departure.
Lt jg D Ellis: A few years as well
VAdm Blackthorne: Of course. Crew recall status?
Lt jg D Ellis: old man ::smiles::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::is on the ship::
LtDougMcKnight: And while I don't quite take Drake's pleasure
in yelling at subordinates before going to my quarters and weeping openly
before my sock puppets, I'm still an ass hole.
LtJGAaron Markus: ((everyone onboard?))
8:50 PM
Lt jg D Ellis: (ROFL)
WillFMarlowe: Nelson> I took over for her. Apparently one
of her brothers was also on leave here and she wanted to go see him.
Kiley Airell: ((yeah))
LtDougMcKnight: (Yeppers.)
LtJGAaron Markus: ((cool))
WillFMarlowe: Meirill> I'm here, doctor . . .
WillFMarlowe: How many supplies have we been able to take on?
LtJGAaron Markus: ::checks:: All hands onboard sir...::sets
course to leave the station::
VAdm Blackthorne: Transfer to internal power and clear
all moorings.
AmythystCrystals: >::makes a note
to visit the sock puppet show when she's on Atlantis::<
Lt jg D Ellis: He has sock puppets?
WillFMarlowe: Meirill> About 60% of what we were expecting
to get.
LtJGAaron Markus: Aye, sir...::fingers fly across the panel::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::watches the lights flicker as the
power transfers::
Kiley Airell: ::sets the PADD down on her chair
next to her, will have to remember not to leave it::
LtDougMcKnight: ::Nods, no expression on his face:: Who else
would come to his tea party?
WillFMarlowe: Not even the bare essentials, then.
LtJGAaron Markus: ((whoops))
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::is sorta over hearing
will's convo but says noting
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::
Lt jg D Ellis: Kennedy's PSI dragon
WillFMarlowe: Which might not be a problem, I suppose. If the
rest of the ship is as well-prepared as we are, we may not need much anyway.
LtDougMcKnight: Please, I totally owned that furry bitch.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::completes the power transfer and clears the
moorings:: We're all set, Admiral.
VAdm Blackthorne: Back us out on thrusters, then one
quarter impulse to spacedoors.
Lt jg D Ellis: Like you owned that sheep
LtJGAaron Markus: Aye, sir.
WillFMarlowe: Meirill> Sir?
LtDougMcKnight: ::Grins:: Hey, I walked away. He didn't.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::hits the buttons to back up and turn the ship
toward the spacedoors::
Lt jg D Ellis: Neither did I!
LtDougMcKnight: Well...you limped.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::engages impulse to one quarter::
WillFMarlowe: Nothing, Meirill. ::a little louder:: I'll be
in my office if anyone needs me. ::finishes his sentence just before the doors
hiss shut::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::hopes Atlantis will hold up to
this'
8:55 PM
LtJGNicoleWeis: ::raises eyebrow after
him and goes about her work::
VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The spacedoors part and
Atlantis glides through, faster than she really should.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::grins big::
VAdm Blackthorne: Markus, set course for Newer Jersey
colony.
Lt jg D Ellis: :::-p at McKnight::
Kiley Airell: ::looks the Admiral:: the Newer
Jersey Colony Sir?
VAdm Blackthorne: Aye, Newer Jersey.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::looks back at the Admiral with a confused
look, than turns back and does as ordered::
VAdm Blackthorne: Warp six.
LtJGAaron Markus: Aye, sir. Course and speed laid in.
VAdm Blackthorne: Try not to give us too many bumps.
VAdm Blackthorne: Execute.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::nods at the bumps joke and Executes::
LtJGNicoleWeis: (i gotta head out all,
see you all later_))
VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> Atlantis streaks off into
the distance, her newly fixed warp drive holding together.
VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
Lt jg D Ellis: puased
LtJGAaron Markus: ::paused::
Kiley Airell: ::paused::
LtJGNicoleWeis has left this chat.

LtJGAaron Markus: ::AA::
WillFMarlowe: ::AA::

AmythystCrystals: Thanks, Atlantis!
9:00 PM
VAdm Blackthorne: Well, that's all for this week...
tune in next week to see what becomes of the mysterious woman that appeared out
of nowhere from dead crystals and humans.
VAdm Blackthorne: Dismissed!
