LtDougMcKnight:         Hey Idrys.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     but if we end up going down to madsion ohio I just know

Megan is gonna wanna do the whole tent thing

LtJGNicoleWeis:   whats wrong with tents?

LtDougMcKnight:         Well, there's something to be said for tents.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     they don't have walls

LtDougMcKnight:         Sure they do.

LtJGNicoleWeis:   yeah they do

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     that are made of something other then mess

ElRiov trIdrys:     I've slept in tents before. Hell I've slept in the open

desert with just a sleeping bag and only a rock for a pillow back in 1998.

LtDougMcKnight:         They're just a millimeter thick, and made of plastic.

LtJGNicoleWeis:   now thats cool eric

LtDougMcKnight:         Yeah, cool.

LtDougMcKnight:         If by cool, we take that to mean idiotic.

ElRiov trIdrys:     yes and by 1999 that same desert area was made into a

virtual "park"

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     what desert?

LtJGNicoleWeis:   come on, sleeping in the desert would be soo cool

ElRiov trIdrys:     over in Saudi Arabia.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ahh

LtJGNicoleWeis:   why were you in saudi arabia?

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     I was gonna say, you try sleeping out in the open where I

came from and you'd end up fresh meat kibble

OnlineHost:        AmythystCrystals has entered the room.

ElRiov trIdrys:     ::shakes head:: Muzdalifah is now almost a park dammit. It's

supposed to be barren.

LtDougMcKnight:         Heya, Amy.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     Amy!

ElRiov trIdrys:     Hajj pilgrimage

LtJGNicoleWeis:   hey amy

AmythystCrystals:       Evening, all.

ElRiov trIdrys:     Evening Amy

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     coyotes man.. They'd get ya

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     see another reason not to sleep in a tent

LtJGNicoleWeis:   we have foxes, deer, ducks, and crazed squirrells and crazed

geese that will chase you

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     no protection from the wild life

ElRiov trIdrys:     LOL Connie and her 2 youngest used to live not too far

outside Phoenix from about 1999 till a couple years later

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     Ohio has bears right? See another reason to camp in a

cabin

MajorAZinthys:   ::Looks around::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Clears throat::

AmythystCrystals:       Camping... yes, camping at the Seraton.

AmythystCrystals:       Sheraton, that is.

MajorAZinthys:   Last week, we were exploring the vast blackness that is

inter-galactic space.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (I lived in Paradise Valley which is just out side Phoenix

till I was 16 then we moved here)

MajorAZinthys:   The Atlantis is currently en route to... wherever we're being

led by the three crystal ships flanking us.

MajorAZinthys:   Questions? Comments? Derisive comments about the Admiral

since he won't find out about them until he reads the chatlog?

LtDougMcKnight:         He's gonna get the lot of us killed cuz intergalactic peace

couldn;t wait a week.

LtDougMcKnight:         Okay, done.

AmythystCrystals:       Did he get that embarrasing rash cleared up, yet?

LtJGNicoleWeis:   nope, it's worse then we thought at first

MajorAZinthys:   Oh, and, for the record, he will be here tonight.

LtJGNicoleWeis:   ;)

MajorAZinthys:   Okay.

MajorAZinthys:   ++BEGIN SIM++

AmythystCrystals:       Is it true that he has a tattoo of a shileleigh on his....

you know?

LtJGNicoleWeis:   ::runs into sickbay::

MajorAZinthys:   Anybody?

MajorAZinthys:   ::Stands::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     Unsure Sir since we have no idea where we are being lead

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Sitting in his favorite chair, having just made a sandwich

for lunch, and now practicing "The Blue Tailed Fly" on banjo::

MajorAZinthys:   Where is Mr. Markus?

AmythystCrystals:       ::walking the deck, on her way to the Bridge::

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Stares at the sheet music in consternation::  Who came up

with this crap?

LtJGNicoleWeis:   ::sighs in relief at seeing her bosses aren't there::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     Sick bay, Sir

LtJGNicoleWeis:   ::moves over to aaron, checking to see how he's doing::

AmythystCrystals:       ::enters the TL::  Bridge, please.

MajorAZinthys:   What has happened to him?

Lt TKirr:      ::takes her station on the Bridge::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::steps from Sci1 ro Sci2:: Unsure Sir, shall I check with

one of the doctors?

MajorAZinthys:   That would be simply wonderful.

LtJGNicoleWeis:   hmm ::checks his vitals and status::

AmythystCrystals:       ::steps out onto the Bridge, smiling, yet unsure of her

welcome::

LtDougMcKnight:         Computer, are these walls soundproof?

MajorAZinthys:   ::Turns::

LtDougMcKnight:         Computer> Negative.

AmythystCrystals:       >We sure hope so, Douggie!   ;-)  <

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     +SB+ Hey anyone down there with an MD after there name, I

need a 411 on Marcus

Lt TKirr:      ::notes Crystals' presence unemotionally::

LtDougMcKnight:         Lovely.  Friggin lovely.

MajorAZinthys:   Greetings, Miss Crystals.

LtJGNicoleWeis:   +ellis+ ::laughs lightly:: give me one sec, i'm checking on

him as we speak

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     +SB+ Standing by.. Just don't put me on hold, I hate that

muszak..

ElRiov trIdrys:     ( LOL )

LtJGNicoleWeis:   +ellis+ ::laughs again:: i swear not too

Lt TKirr:      ::cocks a brow::

AmythystCrystals:       Good evening, Major.  May I be up here for a littlw while?

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::just smiles at TKirr, now finding it fun to find ways to

make her do that::

MajorAZinthys:   If you desire. ::Gestures to the counselor/second

officer/extra chair:: You may have a seat, if you would like.

AmythystCrystals:       ::smiles and takes the proffered seat::  Thank you!

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (wouldn't it be easier to call it the Troi Chair?)

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Takes a sip of bourbon in between songs.  It seems

appropriate somehow.::  If only I had a porch and a rocking chair.

LtJGNicoleWeis:   +ellis+ quick story is...mr. markus is unconscious, he

collapsed while mediatatin gin the holodeck and he's sorta in the middle of

pon far and this little trip through the gateway is messing with him

AmythystCrystals:       Have you heard from Sulli since she left, Allen?  ::making

idle conversation::

MajorAZinthys:   <<Yeah, she was kinda extra, wasn't she?>>

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     +Niki+ Ok the pon farr was a little to much info, but

thanks Nik..

LtDougMcKnight:         (Guess Vulcans aren't so tough after all.)

MajorAZinthys:   ::Blinks and takes a step back::

MajorAZinthys:   Excuse me?

AmythystCrystals:       ::looks up::

AmythystCrystals:       Oh, I am sorry... have I intruded?

MajorAZinthys:   ::Swallows visibly::

Lt TKirr:      ::watches the two::

LtJGNicoleWeis:   +ellis+ yup, no probs

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     Sir I have word on Markus, long story short he's out cold

in sick bay

MajorAZinthys:   No. No, uh, intrusion. I just... didn't expect you to know

about anything about... that.

Lt TKirr:      ::Hopes Markus didn't want any of that info confidential, and goes

about scanning::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Looks back up to Ellis, eager to find something to be

official and command-y about:: Oh, I see. How long?

AmythystCrystals:       I know... I should come with a warning label.  ::half

smile::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     The doc isn't sure, he passed out on the holodeck and she

isn't sure why yet

Lt TKirr:      <<Hehe, like a Hazard sticker on your forehead>>

MajorAZinthys:   Oh. Very well. Thank you, Lieutenant.

MajorAZinthys:   ::sits::

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::heads to TL, steps in::: Sickbay. :::TL moves:::

AmythystCrystals:       >::grins::  Or like an Amish Slow Moving placard across

my butt!<

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Decides he's gotten the song just about recognizable, so

long as he doesn't actually try singing it as he plays it, and decides he's

taken just about enough me time::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Talks quietly to Amy:: What do you mean?

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::nods and goes back to working on what ever sci type

thing she was doing while keeping an eye on Amy::

AmythystCrystals:       Allen... major, I mean.  I'm sorry.

OnlineHost:        VAdm Blackthorne has entered the room.

LtJGAaron Markus:       ((Admiral on deck!))

ElRiov trIdrys:     (( Evening Admiral ))

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (Ello)

VAdm Blackthorne:      ((as you were, keep playing!  :)  ))

Lt TKirr:      <<::salutes::>>

MajorAZinthys:   ::nods:: It's fine. You're not Starfleet, so you don't need

to address me by my rank.

AmythystCrystals:       I merely pick up on strong... feelings or emotions.

LtJGNicoleWeis:   ((brb))

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::TL doors open, steps out and enters Sickbay::: Report.

MajorAZinthys:   You are empathic?

AmythystCrystals:       I guess that's the easiest way to put it, yes.

AmythystCrystals:       I don't mean to pry.

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Feeds his cat his afternoon Dental Diet before

straightening his uniform, and leaving his quarters behind::

AmythystCrystals:       Sometimes I can get more detailed information from a

person, depending on how open they are.

MajorAZinthys:   Then, you mean to say, that nobody informed you of our

relationship? You... read it from my mind?

Lt TKirr:      ::is thankful she is not open::

AmythystCrystals:       Well....

AmythystCrystals:       From your mind.... and from your heart.

AmythystCrystals:       I know, I know... it sounds as corny as Kansas in August.

LtDougMcKnight:         (A warning label...hell, the lady needs a Hallmark card.)

Lt TKirr:      <<::smacks her head::>>

MajorAZinthys:   ::Regards her even more strangely::

MajorAZinthys:   ::...because of the kansas comment::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::looks at Amy oddly::

MajorAZinthys:   Miss Crystals, have you ever been to Earth?

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::in his ready room, looking over the ship's status

reports::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (or her own talk show.lol)

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee> Lt. Markus is unconscious, doctor.  He was

found in the hollodeck.

MajorAZinthys:   ::already knows the answer, but asks the dumb question

anyways::

AmythystCrystals:       I've never been anywhere but Newer Jersey colony and here,

why?

ElRiov trIdrys:     Hmm. :::walks over to Markus, flips tricorder open, scans:::

I see.

MajorAZinthys:   Then how would you know that corn grows in Kansas and is

harvested in the summer?

ElRiov trIdrys:     Anything unusual?

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::suddenly wants corn on the cob with lost of butter::

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee> I heard Dr. Weis say something about Pon

Far....

ElRiov trIdrys:     ( ::had corn on the cob as part of dinner. nyeah nyeah

nyeah:: ))

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::frowns as he rereads about Atlantis's condition::

AmythystCrystals:       There are a lot of humans from Earth on the Atlantis,

Allen.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::thinks.. well duh::

LtJGAaron Markus:       ((LOL))

ElRiov trIdrys:     ::raises brow:: Pon farr? ::looks over at readings:: Well at

least he's stable. ::nods and walks over to desk, begins inputting data into

PADD::

MajorAZinthys:   You picked up the expression from them, then? Did you hear it

in conversation, or did you lift that from somebody's mind, as well?

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>Do you think we can wake him yet?  Or

should we just run a few more tests?

AmythystCrystals:       ::smiles::  As it will come as not big surprise to you, I

don't converse with many people onboard.

ElRiov trIdrys:     I'd say a few more tests for the time being.

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee> Should I run a scan of his cerebrial

cortex?

MajorAZinthys:   ::Sighs, feeling suddenly very guilty for being upset with

her::

ElRiov trIdrys:     ::nods:: Proceed.

MajorAZinthys:   Have you asked anybody for help in controlling... that part

of yourself?

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>Yes, Doctor.

AmythystCrystals:       ::blinks several times::

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>::begins scan::

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::to himself:: If Atlantis makes it back, we're gonna need

months to fix all of this.

AmythystCrystals:       The thought hadn't occurred to me, quite frankly.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (Months now that's what I call shore leave! lol)

LtJGAaron Markus:       ((LOL))

VAdm Blackthorne:      (( Don't get yer hopes up! :p ))

MajorAZinthys:   Do you enjoy intruding on other's thoughts?

::matter-of-factly::

LtJGAaron Markus:       ((::feels sorry for the engineering team::))

VAdm Blackthorne:      It might be refit time, actually.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::watching Amy and Z as if she were watching a tennis

game::

ElRiov trIdrys:     ( watching A and Z? hmmm )

AmythystCrystals:       Enjoy.... that's an odd word.  Do you enjoy breathing, or

is it one of those things that you just do?

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (lol of course with that much time Dakota would have to go

home to see her mother so maybe months woudn't be so good after all. lol)

MajorAZinthys:   I see your point, but.... ::stops, lost in thought::

AmythystCrystals:       But...

Lt TKirr:      <<::careful, she's prolly there with ya, Z::>>

MajorAZinthys:   <<huh?>>

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>::finishes scan:: The results seem to

indicate that he's nearly in a coma, but....::looks puzzled:: Maybe you

should take a look, Doctor.

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Steps off the lift onto the bridge, wanting to check up

personally on the situation before he heads back to the office.  As usually

tends to be the case with his job, it's either gonna be monotonous or

terrifying down there::

Lt TKirr:      <<Lost with ya in thought =P>>

MajorAZinthys:   <<oh. ::Gets it::>>

VAdm Blackthorne:      Perhaps at that time, our guest can see Earth.

MajorAZinthys:   I'm not a shrink, but you've insinuated that you would like

to be able to control your ability to read people's thoughts. Correct?

LtDougMcKnight:         (Um...isn;t the deal that she stays with the folks who we

don't want anywhere near Earth?)

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::looks:::: Interesting.

AmythystCrystals:       ::looks at Ian::

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Looks out on the view screen::  Why do we even have that

thing on?

VAdm Blackthorne:      (I'm alone in my RR)

AmythystCrystals:       >Sorry<

LtDougMcKnight:         Or...do we, in fact not have that thing on?

AmythystCrystals:       Not particularly.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     cause the Admiral won't let us watch the family guy DVDs

on it any more

MajorAZinthys:   Oh. My mistake.

AmythystCrystals:       My time with beings other than the Crystals is very

limited.

LtDougMcKnight:         DVDs?  Hey, the 21st century called.  They want their movies

back.

LtJGNicoleWeis:   ((i'm sorry guys, i had a long day, i'm just going to go to

bed, night al))

OnlineHost:        LtJGNicoleWeis has left the room.

MajorAZinthys:   <<'night!>>

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     Sorry can't have them the late charges would bankrupt the

UFP

MajorAZinthys:   I see. It's not worth it, then?

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>What do you think is wrong?

Lt TKirr:      <<rofl>>

ElRiov trIdrys:     I'm not sure. :::looks at scan results again:::

LtDougMcKnight:         That is, if we still used money.  I suppose there are

advantages to being a bunch of commies.

AmythystCrystals:       ::looks... sort of... bluer for a second::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::looks down at her uniform and then back up at McKnight::

The outfits?

AmythystCrystals:       I can stop confronting people with what I feel from them.

MajorAZinthys:   If you did, then I'd imagine you would not need a warning

label.

AmythystCrystals:       ::nods::

AmythystCrystals:       That's very true.

AmythystCrystals:       ::stands::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Stands::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::wacthes them stand::

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Looks down at his uniform::  The whatsits?

Lt TKirr:      ::watches discreetly::

AmythystCrystals:       I apologize for interrupting your duties, Major.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::is less discreet then her boss::

MajorAZinthys:   Not at all, ma'am. ::Gestures to the black viewscreen:: There

isn't much to interrupt.

AmythystCrystals:       ::turns and walks towards the TL::

MajorAZinthys:   Miss Crystals.

LtDougMcKnight:         Which my boys down in security will be very interested in

knowing.

AmythystCrystals:       ::turns::  Yes?

MajorAZinthys:   I haven't.

AmythystCrystals:       ::smiles sadly::  I'm so sorry.

MajorAZinthys:   ::Smiles sadly:: Thank you.

Lt TKirr:      ::stops watching forcefully::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Sits::

AmythystCrystals:       ::takes a step towards the TL, then changes direction and

system...

MajorAZinthys:   T'Kirr.

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::looks up, surprised::

LtDougMcKnight:         So...all quiet on this front, huh?

VAdm Blackthorne:      Enter.

Lt TKirr:      ::glances up::

ElRiov trIdrys:     ::nods:: Let's. ::begins scan::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     For now

MajorAZinthys:   Can you detect and hidden crystal ships?

MajorAZinthys:   and=any

AmythystCrystals:       ::walks in and smiles a bit at ian::  Good evening, Ian.

Lt TKirr:      ::scans::

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>::assists::

Lt TKirr:      Negative.

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::immediately smiles:: Ms. Crystals, what can I do for

you?

LtDougMcKnight:         You hear about Drake?

MajorAZinthys:   I would like to know the instant any are detected.

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::stands::

Lt TKirr:      Of course, sir.

AmythystCrystals:       Forgive me, but you seemed rather..... disturbed.  Can I

help?

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::turns and looks at him:: Drake? No. Did he finally fall

out an airlock by mistake

LtDougMcKnight:         No...damn near burned his arm off though.

MajorAZinthys:   <<Damn.>>

VAdm Blackthorne:      How could you tell from outsid - oh, you could feel my

emotions from that far away?

Lt TKirr:      ::turns with a quick glare at Ellis::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     Not surprising, the ships in a ruogh shape at the moment

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::notes the glare and tries not to smile now knows a small

trigger to have more fun with::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Sitting in the center chair, staring straight ahead,

practicing his poker face::

AmythystCrystals:       There's a lot of turbulence on your ship... and much of it

involves you.

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::gestures to one of the two chairs in front of the desk:

Please, sit.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (Dakota's knew fav game, lets get a reaction from the

vulcan boss lady. lol)

AmythystCrystals:       ::takes a chair::

AmythystCrystals:       Thank you.

Lt TKirr:      <<I'm gonna kill you>>

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (:-D)

MajorAZinthys:   <<That wouldn't be a very rational response>>

LtDougMcKnight:         Yeah...couldn't be helped, of course.

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::takes the other one, doesn't sit behind the desk::

ElRiov trIdrys:     ( T'Kirr ... Illogical. Illogical. )

Lt TKirr:      <<I know... sucks>>

VAdm Blackthorne:      They don't trust my decision to do this.

AmythystCrystals:       Oh, they trust you.

ElRiov trIdrys:     ::looks over at Emdee:: Odd. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (Still have to find the whole she made in the floor of the

sci lab and all the swidish fish she's been dropping down it. lol)

AmythystCrystals:       They just don't think the ship can take it.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     So does he still have all his fingers to count on?

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::runs a nervous hand through hair::: I just wonder what

I'm forgetting.

AmythystCrystals:       And, the battle was rather fierce.

VAdm Blackthorne:      But *I* think the ship can take it.

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::smiles:: I have a lot of confidence in the old girl.

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee> Perhaps it has to do with this Pon Farr

thing...Maybe you should check the database for anything like this.

Lt TKirr:      <<Haven't been in the lab for ages>>

LtDougMcKnight:         (::Raises hand::  I don't trust him.  :-D)

VAdm Blackthorne:      (ZAP)

Lt TKirr:      <<LOL>>

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (LOL sould have seen that coming)

LtDougMcKnight:         Yeah...enough to count the number of people he's put on

report too.

LtDougMcKnight:         He was working under the hood on some doohickey.  The

chatter in Ten Forward is that he dropped his own plasma torch.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::shakes her head:: Na he uses his toes for that as well

AmythystCrystals:       Well, there is the resonance in the dilithium chamber....

it's small and almost undetectable now, but it will give you problems later

on down the line.

ElRiov trIdrys:     Let me see here ... ::turns to computer, runs through

database:::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::laughs and then stiffles it::

VAdm Blackthorne:      I didn't see that in the reports....

LtDougMcKnight:         Ship's a mess.

AmythystCrystals:       It hasn't been found, yet.

VAdm Blackthorne:      But you can detect it.

AmythystCrystals:       ::holds out her hands::

AmythystCrystals:       Of course.

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::locates a number of funny-sounding drugs that aid in Pon

farr::: Ah here we go.

LtDougMcKnight:         We're a damn Sovereign.  Ship of the line, built to scare

the crap out of our enemies, and we're in shambles.  One system breaking

after another...it's a game of musical chairs.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     yeah but that just means shore leave when we get back

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::nods:: I understand.

LtDougMcKnight:         Some of us will really need it.  Have you seen the

engineering crew lately?  They look like they haven't slept in days.

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>What have you found, Doctor?

ElRiov trIdrys:     ( lag test )

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     Someone for got to tell the crystals there we're surprose

to be scared of us

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (C-)

LtJGAaron Markus:       ((lag pass))

ElRiov trIdrys:     There are a number of drugs ... :::prepares hypospray:::

that are used to aid in Pon farr ...

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Lowers his voice::  What's to be scared of?  Picard wrote

the damned book on this stuff.

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::injects Markus with hypo::: There that should keep him

stabilized for now.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::laughs again::

LtDougMcKnight:         It's the "Drop your slacks, grab your ankles,. and hope

they're gentle" Doctrine.

ElRiov trIdrys:     This will control the hormonal imbalance.

VAdm Blackthorne:      So, Ms. Crystals, how are you, personally?

Lt TKirr:      ::tries not to listen to the idle chatter::

AmythystCrystals:       ::blinks::

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>::runs another scan on the cerebrial

cortex:: This time it looks much better.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     I thought that was Kirk? ... No wait that was drop your

skrit

AmythystCrystals:       Personally?

VAdm Blackthorne:      Yes. Things can't have been easy for you.

VAdm Blackthorne:      How are you handling yourself?

ElRiov trIdrys:     ::nods:: I guess we can proceed with awakening him now.

LtDougMcKnight:         Or lift it.  The guy screwed shape shifting slugs.  He

wasn't overly particular.

ElRiov trIdrys:     Ready?

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>Yes, doctor.  ::hands him a hypospray with

wake-up juice::

LtDougMcKnight:         Anyway, I need to get down to security.  Nothing's happening

there yet, hopefully nothing will, but the men have a way of getting jumpy.

AmythystCrystals:       Oh.... well.... I believe I'm well.  No fractures, no

emotional overlaods...

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::checks her scans:: again good thing we don't use money

could you imageine the child surpport bills

AmythystCrystals:       My room is comfortable, and I can access all kinds of

reading matter.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::nods:: And we'll keep an eye on the... ::looks at the

viewer:: dark

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::takes hypo, applies it::: All right ... any time now.

VAdm Blackthorne:      But what are your thoughts and emotions on all of this?

You've only been alive for ... what, a week now? This must be all very...

well, I wouldn't know how to describe it.

AmythystCrystals:       ::laughs lightly, tinkling in the RR::

LtDougMcKnight:         Right, lemme know if anything changes.

LtJGAaron Markus:       ::slowly begins to regain consciousness:: ohhh...where am

I?  ::looks around:: Doc? Is that you? ::sight begins to clear up::

AmythystCrystals:   ;-)

MajorAZinthys:   <<lol>>

LtDougMcKnight:         Oh, and as long as I'm here, you need to cut back on the

damned Swedish Fish.

Lt TKirr:      ::glances at the RR door::

VAdm Blackthorne:      ((tinkling is only allowed in the latrine))

LtJGAaron Markus:       What happened?

AmythystCrystals:       Being alive is a wondrous experience.  I can't believe

that so many of your people stay isolated on purpose.

ElRiov trIdrys:     It's OK Lieutenant. You collapsed in the Holodeck.

LtJGAaron Markus:       I did....damn.  Must've been some program...

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::smiles:: That's good to hear. It must be wonderful to

see everything you experience for the first time.

ElRiov trIdrys:     Just lie still. :::scans with medical tricorder:::

ElRiov trIdrys:     ::nods:: All readings stable.

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>I believe you were meditating, were you

not?

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::looks at the RR too:: What do you think's going on in

there, Lt?

AmythystCrystals:       There is so much I want to see and experience before....

well, before I leave the Atlantis.

LtJGAaron Markus:       Oh yeah...

Lt TKirr:      ::glances at Ellis:: It is not my place to speculate.

VAdm Blackthorne:      Well, you're welcome to stay, unless you have to part ways

with us at their homeworld.

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     but you can't help but wonder

AmythystCrystals:       Well... of course I do.

AmythystCrystals:       It's the only way.

VAdm Blackthorne:      That's disappointing. I would have liked to see your

reaction to Earth.

AmythystCrystals:       But I am having a wonderful time on your ship.  Do you

think I could be given access to the holodecks?

LtJGAaron Markus:       Guess I meditated a little too hard....So am I fit for

duty yet, Doc?  Or should I come back in a little while first?

VAdm Blackthorne:      Of course! I could show you Earth in there.

AmythystCrystals:       It is disappointing... in many ways, Ian.. in many ways.

ElRiov trIdrys:     I'd say you're all set to go.

AmythystCrystals:       I would like to see Earth.  I have a lot of images in my

memory, but seeing it for myself would be better.

VAdm Blackthorne:      We have a saying on Earth. C'est la vie; "It is life." If

that is what you must do for peace, and is your choice, then that is what you

must do.

AmythystCrystals:       Interesting phrase.

AmythystCrystals:       Does it matter how you make the choice?

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::looks at her for a long moment:: I don't think so.

LtJGAaron Markus:       Thank you...I'll see you later.  Hopefully not until my

next physical though...::chuckles::

LtDougMcKnight:         Right then.

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Steps back onto the turbolift::  Level 7.

AmythystCrystals:       Oh.

VAdm Blackthorne:      Life is a series of choices, you'll find out.

VAdm Blackthorne:      Or perhaps you already have.

AmythystCrystals:       As is death.

LtJGAaron Markus:       ::heads out of sickbay and onto the TL:: Bri... ::notices

he needs a uniform change:: Deck 10.

VAdm Blackthorne:      Perhaps.

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::sighs, heads over to replicator and gets tea ... sips at

it:::

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>Good job on finding that medicine for him,

doctor.

ElRiov trIdrys:     Thank you. You've done a good job yourself.

LtJGAaron Markus:       ::gets of the TL and into his quarters, changes and grabs

a quick drink of water from the replicator.::

Lt TKirr:      ::scans yet again, finding nothing to note, and watches repairs::

LtJGAaron Markus:       Nurse Emdee>Thank you...::begins putting away equipment

and cleaning off the biobed::

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::playing mrs pac man::

Lt TKirr:      <<Some things never go out of style, I guess>>

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     (lol)

VAdm Blackthorne:      Such weighty matters aside, you'll have access to the

holodeck immediately.

LtJGAaron Markus:       ((::looks at Z's blue swaid shoes:: obviously not))

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Gets out of the turbolift, and heads on in to security::

MajorAZinthys:   <<What's a "swaid"?>>>

Lt TKirr:      <<You know he meant 'suede'>>

MajorAZinthys:   <<And?>>

LtJGAaron Markus:       ((Yeah, that...))

LtDougMcKnight:         (Ha ha, finally, a fabric I know more about than Jason!)

LtJGAaron Markus:       ((lol))

VAdm Blackthorne:      PAUSE SIM

VAdm Blackthorne:      PAUSE SIM

LtDougMcKnight:         (In terms of spelling anyway.  You don't know nice until

you've seen a suede jacket.)

VAdm Blackthorne:      PAUSE SIM

Lt TKirr:      ::pauses::

MajorAZinthys:   ::blows into whistle::

LtJGAaron Markus:       ::paused::

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::does so:::

VAdm Blackthorne:      Doctor, what ever shall I do...

ElRiov trIdrys:     ::raises brow:: You are ill Sir?

VAdm Blackthorne:      Your crimes are too heinous to even bear.

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Throws his voice over to Markus::  Shoot him.

VAdm Blackthorne:      Prepare to be sentenced, for you are GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!

AmythystCrystals:       ::gasps::

ElRiov trIdrys:     :::hangs head ... knew this would be coming:::

LtJGAaron Markus:       ::gets out his phaser::

VAdm Blackthorne:      ::bangs gavel on desk:: GUILTY! GUILTY!

LtJGAaron Markus:       ::wonders where the desk came from::

VAdm Blackthorne:      Major! GETEN ZE JAR!

Lt  jg  D  Ellis:     ::whispers:: Who gave him a gavel?

Lt TKirr:      ::whispers back:: K-Mart.

ElRiov trIdrys:     Jar? I thought you was gonna sentence me to Rura Penthe!

VAdm Blackthorne:      SILENCE!'

MajorAZinthys:   "Geten"?

MajorAZinthys:   What the hell is that?

MajorAZinthys:   Is that a type of mushroom?

VAdm Blackthorne:      Jar. Now.

MajorAZinthys:   Oh. Right.

LtDougMcKnight:         ::Thinks in horror::  We're working for a Hun!

MajorAZinthys:   ::Calmly walks to the kitchen::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Rummages around under the kitchen sink::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Moves some liquid in a box::

MajorAZinthys:   ::Pulls out a clear, unmarked Jar::

MajorAZinthys:   ::holds it out::

Chaplin moustache?
