computer up stairs to my friend's apartment to use his internet.
Lt TKirr: Ouch..
LMajAdamDrake: Grad gift, Rhi?
SarinaJaral: I love my laptop it's all I use.
Lt TKirr: Now that's a dedicated Lt
LtJGAaron Markus:
Kiley Airell: my laptop is in the shop . . . I wouldn't be
able to be here if I wasn't out of town
LtJGAaron Markus: Wow.
Lt TKirr: *steals Sarina's laptop, thinking
quickly of a logical way to explain it away*
LtJGAaron Markus: I need a new screen for mine.

Kiley Airell: ::AA::
LtDougMcKnight: ::AA::
VAdm Blackthorne: Alright, tonight,
we have arrived at the crystalline homeworld.
7:35 PM
VAdm Blackthorne: It is a planet that
orbits no star...
LtJGAaron Markus: ::almost claps::
VAdm Blackthorne: But instead gives
off a pale light of its own and reflects it, almost like a gem.
VAdm Blackthorne: We are on approach
and about to assume orbit.
VAdm Blackthorne: Questions?
Lt jg D Ellis: Does Gem get a dollar for every time you
say gem?
VAdm Blackthorne: No, but she gets a
raspberry coffee.
AmythystCrystals: Mmmmm!
Lt jg D Ellis: Ooo even better
VAdm Blackthorne: Which probably
costs about a dollar.
VAdm Blackthorne: Any others?
AmythystCrystals: (m) Or three.
VAdm Blackthorne: Alright then..
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN sIM
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
AmythystCrystals: But, Ian's buying, so it's all
good.
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: ::in the TL with
Amy, on the way to the bridge::
SarinaJaral: ::Heading for Sickbay:::
AmythystCrystals: ::in the TL, looking at the
floor, being very quiet::
Kiley Airell: ::on the bridge::
MajorAZinthys: ::Running the bridge from Tactical::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::at Helm/Ops ready to assume orbit::
Lt TKirr: ::standing at Science, totally calm,
of course, even though they're expected to blow up within the hour, dutifully
scanning for danger::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::in Medical doing inventory:::
AmythystCrystals: ::takes Ian's hand::
VAdm Blackthorne: I hope you enjoyed
your time here, overall.
AmythystCrystals: I had a wonderful night, Ian.
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> +Drake+ Engineering to
Drake.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::At Sci2 playing pong with the dude in
astrometrics::
LMajAdamDrake: +Engineering+ ::slowly waking up::
Go ahead.
SarinaJaral: ::walks into Sickbay, holding two large cups:::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::squeezes her
hand: I'm glad to hear that.
LtDougMcKnight: ::In security, watching the bridge feed as
marines rush about, every last one of them now called to duty::
7:40 PM
AmythystCrystals: ::looks up as the doors swish
open, her eyes going to the big screen::
SarinaJaral: ::goess off looking for Idrys who she knows is
supposed to be on duty:::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Walks onto the
bridge with her::
AmythystCrystals: ::steps out:: We're here.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::watches the Admiral and Amy enter the
bridge::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::dryly:: Welcome
home.
AmythystCrystals: ::looks at Ian::
MajorAZinthys: Admiral. ::nods::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::closes the game and looks up to see the
Adm. and Amy::
VAdm Blackthorne: Report.
Lt TKirr: ::watches quietly::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::keeps at inventory, eyes on PADD and sundry
medicines and so on:::
Kiley Airell: Looks over to the Admiral and Amy as they enter
the bridge::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::walks down to his
chair::
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> +Drake+ We've reached the
crystalline homeworld, Major, I didn't know whether or not you'd want to be on
the bridge or not. Just thought I'd let you know.
SarinaJaral: Hakim? Dr. Idrys? ::sees him over by a storage
cabinet:: There you are.
AmythystCrystals: ::walks with him and stands
next to his chair::
MajorAZinthys: We're here. No communications have
come from them as of yet.
LMajAdamDrake: ::rubs the sleep from his eyes::
+Engineering+ Mr. Jeddin, I'm on my way.
Kiley Airell has left this chat.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::jumps slightly:: Oh Sarina! Sorry. I was so busy.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::stands in front
of it::
LMajAdamDrake: ::rolls out of bed and uniforms up::
MajorAZinthys: We have assumed a standard orbit.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::looking at the view screen glad to see
something there::
VAdm Blackthorne: Should we hail
them, Ms. Crystals?
AmythystCrystals: They know we're here...
::points to the ships flanking them::
SarinaJaral: I was pretty quiet coming in. Sorry to have
startled you. Here. ::holds out a cup:: Rihannsu ma'kala...the equivalent of
Terran coffee...or as close as the replicator in my quarters could get.
Lt TKirr: ::monitors short and long range scans,
watching carefully for possibly cloaked vessels::
LMajAdamDrake: ::steps out of his quarters and
begins to move down the corridor:: +Bridge+ Drake to Bridge.
AmythystCrystals: They'll be hailing you...
::turns as the channel beeps::
ElRiov trIdrys: Why thank you. :::takes cup and sips::: Quite a
change.
VAdm Blackthorne: :quietly:: T'Kirr,
get all that you can about this place.
Lt TKirr: ::nods::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::monitors orbit::
VAdm Blackthorne: On screen.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::puts on screen::
LMajAdamDrake: ::Steps into the TL:: Deck Sixteen,
Main Engineering.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::turns on the translation program::
Lt TKirr: ::makes scans of the nearby vessels,
but can't penetrate the shields, and turns attention to the planet::
ElRiov trIdrys: I just wonder what's going to be happening now that
we're approaching the Crystalline homeworld.
7:45 PM
ElRiov trIdrys: No assurances of anything other than ... we're
here.
SarinaJaral: I know. It's the one thing I hate about being a
doctor. All the waiting. And it seems like we're always the last to know what's
going on. ::glances at what he was doing:: Can I help?
AmythystCrystals: Crystalline> Send us the
link. You will go free, and there will be no more attacks.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::shrugs:: Inventory. Constant stuff and I hate it
but someone's got to do it.
MajorAZinthys: ::furrows his brow::
AmythystCrystals: Well... they've adapted your
language.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::blinks::
VAdm Blackthorne: That's the first
assurance we've had.
VAdm Blackthorne: What will happen to
you?
Lt TKirr: ::watches the screen in curiousity::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::runs a quick diagnostic of helm::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::sips:: At least it's part done.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::Thinks.. link? as in missing or...
hears Amy and huffs.::
SarinaJaral: After waiting, it's my least favorite thing. I
can help, maybe we'll get done in half the time.
LtDougMcKnight: Well, the nice folks have agreed to stop
kicking us around. Show them how grateful we are, boys.
AmythystCrystals: Well....
AmythystCrystals: They'll process what they can
of me.
VAdm Blackthorne: Process?
AmythystCrystals: Perhaps they'll learn about
humanity.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::nods:: Many hands make light work.
AmythystCrystals: Well, yes.
LtDougMcKnight: Marines> ::As one, give the figure on the
security screen the finger, only wishing they were transmitting from this
terminal as well as receiving::
ElRiov trIdrys: ::shows her PADD and indicates area:: I've got this
much accounted for ... so ... ::indicates other area:: that leaves this much
still to do.
VAdm Blackthorne: <<Nice,
McKnight!>>
Lt jg D Ellis: ::mutters in her head about working on
the UT and adding program after program to translate the sceeing and other
sounds.::
SarinaJaral: ::picks up a padd and opens another cabinet:::
We can coordinate the lists when we're done. And it will keep us busy while we
wait to see if we're going to blow up or anything.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::skeptically::
Define that.
Lt TKirr: ::studies her readings of the planet,
scanning region by region::
AmythystCrystals: They wouldn't keep me alive.
They'll process me... remove the Crystalline components, and analyze the rest.
Lt jg D Ellis: (LOL Now that's a well drilled team.)
Kiley Airell has joined this chat.
ElRiov trIdrys: Right. :::resumes work:::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::finishes diagnostic and continues to monitor
orbit::
VAdm Blackthorne: They'll kill you?
Why?
Lt TKirr: <<Hi Kiley!>>
7:50 PM
Kiley Airell: <<Hey all>>
CptKetchum has left this chat.
VAdm Blackthorne: <<hey
Kiley!>>
AmythystCrystals: Well..... a humanoid would
serve no purpose on the Crystalline.
SarinaJaral: ::works silently for a few minutes, then
glances over:: Hakim, do you know the Chief Engineer?
LMajAdamDrake: ::steps into Engineering:: Jeddin,
report on the microfracture.
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> Don't know, Major, we
still can't pick it up.
VAdm Blackthorne: You say that so
calmly.
ElRiov trIdrys: I spend so much time here in Medical ... ::sighs::
AmythystCrystals: Hysterics wouldn't help
matters any.
LMajAdamDrake: That could be bad. If we went to
full warp now, how long would we have?
AmythystCrystals: And... this way, there's a
definite goal of peace.
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> After calculations and a
bit of guessing based on Ms. Crystals' given parameters of the problem, about
sixteen hours. Maximum.
LMajAdamDrake: That's not nearly enough to get back
to Federation Space.
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> No, it's not.
AmythystCrystals: ::looks at him::
LMajAdamDrake: +Bridge+ Drake to Bridge.
VAdm Blackthorne: You're part human,
Amy. You can't be so willing to throw that part of you away.
SarinaJaral: ::: has gone back to working::I just
wondered... I met him...
Kiley Airell has left this chat.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::looks to Zinthys
with an 'answer the damned phone' look on his face::
AmythystCrystals: Willing? ::takes several steps
across the carpet:: I'm not willing at all. This is like....
MajorAZinthys: +Drake+ Zinthys here, go ahead.
LMajAdamDrake: +Bridge+ Sir, we need all engines to
be completely taken off line. We have a small microfracture in a dilithium
crystal that could pose a very large problem.
LtJGAaron Markus: <<LOL>>
ElRiov trIdrys: Oh you mean Drake? Not very well but yes we have
met.
MajorAZinthys: You can fix it here?
AmythystCrystals: This is like getting a tooth
pulled. Do you go willingly? No, of course not.
VAdm Blackthorne: All you have to do
is ask for asylum, Amy, and you'll have it.
SarinaJaral: ::Nods::Yes, that's him. I don't know why I
asked, I was just wondering what sort of person he is.
7:55 PM
AmythystCrystals: ::wipes angrily at a tear:: I
don't *want* to die. Not after just learning last night what it means to be
human and feel *good* things.
LMajAdamDrake: +Zinthys+ Yes, given a couple of
hours for the whole process.
MajorAZinthys: +Zinthyss+ What's the alternative?
LtJGAaron Markus: ::wonders what Amy is talking about::
MajorAZinthys: +Drake*+
ElRiov trIdrys: I don't know him that well, to be honest. Sometimes
my work just keeps me down here a lot.
VAdm Blackthorne: Then ask for
asylum. No Captain in this fleet would send an unwilling woman to her death.
LMajAdamDrake: {{Talking to yourself, Allen? }}
LtJGAaron Markus: <<LOL>>
Lt jg D Ellis: ::feels like maybe the bridge crew should
all take a collective walk for a few mins.::
AmythystCrystals: But, what good am I anywhere
else? I can reach intergalactic peace with a single action! Anywhere else, I'd
be "The Freak Who Let The Federation Down".
MajorAZinthys: <<No, being crazy is your
characters' shtick>>
LtDougMcKnight: (Perhaps that's why they sent an Admiral. )
SarinaJaral: ::uncomfortable with the topic, but figures she
brought it up:: It's not a big thing, he just, we were going to meet for lunch,
that's all.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::nods as he continues with work:: Lunch is good.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::though the freak who let the federation
down was Wesley Crusher::
LMajAdamDrake: +Zinthys+ Alternative, Major? There
is none for this problem.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::looks over:: Did you ... wind up not having lunch
is that it?
Lt TKirr: <<rofl>>
VAdm Blackthorne: You would get to
live your own life.
AmythystCrystals: There's been enough death on
both sides. Me "living my own life" would only cause more.
MajorAZinthys: Admiral, I hate to interrupt, but
Drake wants to shut the engines down for a few hourse.
MajorAZinthys: hours*
VAdm Blackthorne: ::turns sharply::
Request denied. He must be crazy.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::mutters "sitting ducks" in
bajoran::
SarinaJaral: ::nods:: Something like that.
MajorAZinthys: If he doesn't, the dilithum crystals
will rupture.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::sighs:: I'm sorry to hear that, Sarina.
MajorAZinthys: ::Hears Ellis' comment, thanks to
the UT::
VAdm Blackthorne: Tell him to make it
work or he loses his job. We're in enemy territory and we are NOT taking the
engines down.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::turns back to
Amy::
MajorAZinthys: +Drake+ The answer is no. Do it
without shutting the engines down.
ElRiov trIdrys: Unfortunately all too often on a Starship it's
business before pleasure. Unless he had the time and ... ::shrug::
AmythystCrystals: Besides... take a good look at
the situation.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::mouths "daaaaaaammmnnn"::
8:00 PM
VAdm Blackthorne: All you have to do
to, to live, to experience more of what you felt last night, is to ask me for
asylum. The Federation will grant it to you.
SarinaJaral: It's not a big deal. I'm sure he got busy in
Engineering and forgot. ::goes on working for a minute.:: I just ...::shakes
her head:: Never mind.
AmythystCrystals: Your crew is a perfect example
of what awaits me if I ask for assylum.
AmythystCrystals: Fear, hate, distrust, anger.
LMajAdamDrake: ::runs a hand through his hair::
+Zinthys+ Understood.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::wishes she had some popcorn::
ElRiov trIdrys: ( "We can grant you asylum ... but who the
hell wants to live in an asylum!?"
)
LMajAdamDrake: Did I mention I could do that?
LtJGAaron Markus: ::suddenly feels very small::
LMajAdamDrake: 'Cause, you know, had I been able to
do that I wouldn't have asked in the first place.
AmythystCrystals: Living like that isn't living,
either.
ElRiov trIdrys: Well, if you have any problems you need to unload,
you can always talk to me.
Lt TKirr: ::attempts to concentrate on scans::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::suddenly very
angry::
LMajAdamDrake: ::moves over to the dilithium
matrix:: Has this ever been done before?>
LMajAdamDrake: Once or twice maybe. At Daystrom.
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> Captain Christopher
Bettes. He and his crew did it while traveling at warp seven in an Ambassador
Class ship.
LMajAdamDrake: ::looks at him::
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> Research - I like to know
what I'm dealing with.
LMajAdamDrake: ::smirks:: I'm glad you did. How can
we do it? Sovereigns are bit different then the old and clumsy Ambassador class
ships.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::gets a beep from the planet:: Sir, I think
they're waiting for an answer...
VAdm Blackthorne: Humanity is not all
about hate and anger, despite what you may see here. ::biting tone in his
voice::
SarinaJaral: ::turns toward him and leans a hip against a
counter::: I was on Betazed during the war. I lost a lot of friends and one
relationship. I just don't know if I want to do that again.
AmythystCrystals: I know that.
AmythystCrystals: Thanks to you, I got to
experience the better side of humanity.
MajorAZinthys: <<awwwwwwww>>
VAdm Blackthorne: Apologize for the
delay, Mr. Markus.
Lt TKirr: <<::finds a tissue::>>
VAdm Blackthorne: ::rolls his eyes::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::nods::
LtDougMcKnight: (Shit, toothache!)
VAdm Blackthorne: ::turns back to
Amy::
ElRiov trIdrys: ::nods:: I understand. The war changed many of us.
8:05 PM
AmythystCrystals: > <
VAdm Blackthorne: I can't stop you
from going. But a life isn't something that should just be marched to its end.
MajorAZinthys: <<Kirk would'a banged
her>>
LtJGAaron Markus: ::sends a message to appologize with some
excuse about a power drain...::
SarinaJaral: ::turns back to her work:: But he could have
comm'd me. It's not like I'm on another planet.
Lt TKirr: <<Omg, teach me howta do that
lol>>
Lt jg D Ellis: Play the Kenny G hold musak, Aaron
LtDougMcKnight: (How to bang her?)
Lt TKirr: <<No... the face...>>
MajorAZinthys: <<LOL!!>>
LtJGAaron Markus: ::looks at Ellis and chuckles::
AmythystCrystals: ::looks around::
ElRiov trIdrys: I know ... things just ... happen.
AmythystCrystals: ::shrugs::
LMajAdamDrake: This is going to take even longer.
::sighs::
LMajAdamDrake: +Sarina+ Drake to Ja'ral.
AmythystCrystals: Better this way than in
another war, don't you think?
SarinaJaral: :::nods a bit:: I guess.
VAdm Blackthorne: You won't get me to
admit that.
ElRiov trIdrys: Well now speak of the devil ...
SarinaJaral: ::thinks 'speak of the devil':: +Drake+ Ja'ral
here.
LMajAdamDrake: +Sarina+ I can't make it for lunch.
Something has come up in engineering and it requires my immediate attention. I
will contact you later to make it up. Drake out.
ElRiov trIdrys: ( HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GMTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )
VAdm Blackthorne: I wish that whoever
said that bloody mess about the good of the many had never said it.
LtDougMcKnight: (Greenwich Mean Time...something?)
Lt TKirr: ::raises a brow from behind
Blackthorne::
LMajAdamDrake: Potter, prepare to bring on the
inertial stabilizers for the dilithium matrix. Kendricks, reroute all the power
from the plasma coolant to the dilithium matrix. Standby for dilithium matrix
decoupling.
ElRiov trIdrys: :::blinks::: Again? Well ... he DID comm you ....
ElRiov trIdrys: ( Great Minds Think Alike )
Lt jg D Ellis: ::snickers at the look on TKirr's
eyebrow::
AmythystCrystals: ::sighs and walks up the ramp
to the TL doors::
8:10 PM
Lt TKirr: ::watches Amythyst::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::watches Amy::
AmythystCrystals: My welcome here was worn out
before I arrived.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Looks down at the rug, as if considering
something:: O'Grady, take over. I need some air.
braelin has joined this chat.
VAdm Blackthorne: Markus, signal them
and tell them to expect transport.
VAdm Blackthorne: Zinthys, you have
the bridge.
MajorAZinthys: Yessir.
SarinaJaral: ::Glances at Idrys as she waits for Drak to
respond::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::walks with Amy to
the TL::
LtDougMcKnight: ::Walks to the nearest turbolift without
waiting for acknowledgement, and steps in::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::feels very small:: Aye, sir.
MajorAZinthys: <m> 'bout damn time...
Lt TKirr: ::frowns slightly at the unfortunate
situation, then resumes scanning::
SarinaJaral: +Drake+ Understood. Ja'ral out.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::signals the planet::
SarinaJaral: ::shrugs:: The date was yesterday, but better
late than never, I guess.
AmythystCrystals: ::rides the TL to the TR::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::rides with her::
SarinaJaral: Drat it, I wish I knew what was going on.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::silent, fuming::
LtDougMcKnight: Transporter room 1.
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> Sir, do you know what
will happen if we decouple the matrix without disengaging the engines?
Lt TKirr: <<::chants:: Blackthorne's got a
girlfrieeeend...>>
LtDougMcKnight: (Not for long.)
ElRiov trIdrys: Same here.
VAdm Blackthorne: <<Wow, thanks
Doug. >>
AmythystCrystals: ::steps out of the TL::
LtDougMcKnight: (Maybe he IS channeling Kirk!)
LMajAdamDrake: Yes, Michael, I do. If we go to even
the smallest amount of warp, we'll have a huge anti-matter/matter
destabilization in the warp core. I told them that I needed engine
deactivation.
MajorAZinthys: <<LoL>>
AmythystCrystals: ::walks along to the TR,
silently, thinking::
Lt jg D Ellis: (Ian and Amy sitting in a tree.... What
do you get a girl who's made partly form diamonds?)
VAdm Blackthorne: ::walking with her,
mad as hell::
LtDougMcKnight: (A gold housing, I guess.)
VAdm Blackthorne: <<Gold, the
same thing you get any girl>>
braelin has left this chat.
LtDougMcKnight: (Like in that Bond movie.)
SarinaJaral: I'm starving. I didn't eat breakfast. :::heads
over to the replicator:: Want something?

LtDougMcKnight: (Only without Oddjob.)
kovuttajarms has left this chat.
Lt jg D Ellis: (lol a nice gold setting.)
AmythystCrystals: Wait.... one thing I can do
for you.
8:15 PM
VAdm Blackthorne: What?
ElRiov trIdrys: I'll have what you're having. Doesn't really
matter.
AmythystCrystals: ::folds her hands and
concentrates, pulling elements from the air::
LMajAdamDrake: Myers! Watch the variance in the crystal
housings. Anything above twenty-nine hundred milli-pascals and we'll have to
abort completely.
LMajAdamDrake: Myers> ::nods:: Aye, Major.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::goes back to playing pong::
SarinaJaral: ::laughs::You might be sorry. ::turns to the
replicator:: Two pecan sticky rolls.
LtJGAaron Markus: <<LOL>>
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Watches
intently::
AmythystCrystals: ::frowns and concentrates
harder, focusing her energies::
LMajAdamDrake: Decouple!
AmythystCrystals: ::manages to completely heal
the microfracture in the dilithium crystals::
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> Disengage the safety
field. ::moves over::
LtDougMcKnight: ::Arrives at the transporter room, surprised to
find he's beaten them there:: Funny...I've never been punctual before...
AmythystCrystals: ::staggers and leans against
Ian::
LMajAdamDrake: ::steps up:: Equalize the harmonics.
SarinaJaral: ::Picks up the plates and walks back over to
Idrys:: Here you go. Guaranteed to make you need to brush your teeth.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::catches her::
VAdm Blackthorne: What happened?
LMajAdamDrake: Langston> Sir?!
ElRiov trIdrys: ::laughs and accepts a plate from her:: Oh
definitely.
LMajAdamDrake: ::turns:: What is it?
SarinaJaral: ::smiles:: How is your wife and your child?
AmythystCrystals: It's... phew... your crystal
is healed. Your ship is safe.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Leans against the transporter console,
waiting, and turns to the transporter guy:: So...what the hell do you actually
DO here all day?
LMajAdamDrake: Langston> The microfracture. When
we hit the ability to scan it thoroughly, I watched the crack completely fuse
together.
VAdm Blackthorne: Amazing.
LMajAdamDrake: Abort the process! Abort!
LMajAdamDrake: Reset all initial regulations and
settings.
LtJGAaron Markus: <<transporter guy>pretty much the same
thing you do.>>
LtDougMcKnight: Transporter guy> Solitaire, mostly.
AmythystCrystals: ::looks at the TR::
AmythystCrystals: ::sighs::
AmythystCrystals: Time to go.
ElRiov trIdrys: They're doing nicely, thanks. ::shows her a
holophoto::
VAdm Blackthorne: Don't do this, Amy.
LtDougMcKnight: (Shows what you know, helm boy. I play Tetris.)
LtJGAaron Markus: <<j/k>>
AmythystCrystals: I have to.
LtJGAaron Markus: <<helm boy?>>
AmythystCrystals: No....
AmythystCrystals: I need to.
ElRiov trIdrys: :::smiles:::
LtDougMcKnight: (Yes, it's an ancient Indian name meaning boy
at the helm.)
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> That was rather
uneventful. ::smirks::
LMajAdamDrake: For a change.
8:20 PM
SarinaJaral: ::Looks at the holo:: Oh, how cute. ::smiles::I
love children.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::looks at her::
I'm sorry you had to experience this part of humanity.
AmythystCrystals: ::thinks::
LMajAdamDrake: +Bridge+ Engineering to Bridge.
MajorAZinthys: +Drake+ Go ahead.
AmythystCrystals: It seems to be the greater
part of your world.
ElRiov trIdrys: Same here. We haven't decided if he should be our
only one or the first of ... well, a few. Not too many.
LMajAdamDrake: +Bridge+ We're all set to go here,
Major.
MajorAZinthys: +Drake+ It's fixed?
LMajAdamDrake: +Zinthys+ Affirmative.
AmythystCrystals: I don't know how you live
through it, day after day.
VAdm Blackthorne: You learn to strive
to make things better.
MajorAZinthys: +Drake+ I'm sure the Admiral will be
happy to hear that. Bridge out.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::relaxes slightly::
SarinaJaral: ::smiles::I think you should have at least one
more. A little girl.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::nods:: Brother and sister ... that would be nice.
Lt TKirr: <<That was really cool,
Amy>>
LtDougMcKnight: ::Nods slowly:: You should try baseball. It's
all about sitting around for hours.
SarinaJaral: I don't think I'll ever have children.
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> ::walks into sick bay holding a
fussy and burning hot Noah who's pulling at his ear::
SarinaJaral: ::hears the doors and turns:: It would seem we
have a customer.
ElRiov trIdrys: Indeed we do. Can we help you?
LMajAdamDrake: We need Starbase.
AmythystCrystals: ::walks into the TR::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::checks all the helm systems again to make
sure we can get the heck outta dodge::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::takes her hand
and walks with her::
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> He woke up with a high fever
LMajAdamDrake: Jeddin> We need drydock for a
refit that's weeks long.
AmythystCrystals: Doug. ::smiles a little::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::has never walked
someone to their execution before::
LtDougMcKnight: ::Nods at the two as they enter:: Sorry if I'm
breaking up a moment. I've always liked to be there to see someone off.
AmythystCrystals: Should I use a different TR?
Are you using this one?
SarinaJaral: ::defers to Idrys::He looks miserable.
AmythystCrystals: See...
AmythystCrystals: ::looks at him::
ElRiov trIdrys: Let's get him up on the biobed here. ::gestures,
gets out medical tricorder:::
LtDougMcKnight: I didn't come here for the conversation.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Looks to transporter guy:: No offense.
8:25 PM
LtDougMcKnight: TG> None taken, sir.
AmythystCrystals: Thank you, Doug. ::impulsively
hugs him::
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> ::puts Noah on the bed:: Is he
ok?
Lt TKirr: <<Careful, don't poke
him>>
LMajAdamDrake: {{Good, that man needs a bit more
love in his life! You're a downer! }}
ElRiov trIdrys: :::scans Noah::: We'll see, please be patient.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Stiffens for a moment, before relaxing and
giving her a pat on the back:: Peace is over-rated.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Watches, looking
pained::
AmythystCrystals: ::backs up:: But it helps the
economy.
AmythystCrystals: ::smiles::
LtDougMcKnight: Maybe...but I'm willing to bet you would have
loved to see Montana.
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> Dee's going to kill me
LMajAdamDrake: Well, now we can return to the usual
things in life. +T'Kirr+ Engineering to T'Kirr.
SarinaJaral: Ear infection? ::to Hakim::
ElRiov trIdrys: Hmmm. Ear infection. ::looks over at Ja'ral::
Sarina please assist here ...
Lt TKirr: ::looks up:: +Drake+ Go ahead.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::Glad to see that
at least someone else got it::
ElRiov trIdrys: ::looks back at Candy:: She will NOT
"kill" you. My word on that.
LMajAdamDrake: +T'Kirr+ Please switch to
engineering channel Delta Six. ::looks at his console waiting for her to engage
the communications circuit::
AmythystCrystals: I would. Make sure to take a
minute to think about me the next time you visit.
AmythystCrystals: ::smiles shakily::
ElRiov trIdrys: ::looks back at tricorder:: An infection is just
something that ... sometimes can't be controlled.
Lt TKirr: ::switches to the requested channel::
LtDougMcKnight: Fishing takes hours, especially when you suck
at it. I promise, I'll spend an hour, at least.
SarinaJaral: ::has come up to assist Hakim::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::smiles a bit::
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> Are you sure? Maybe I shouldn't
have taken him swimming
LtDougMcKnight: After that, my attention span's not much good.
And it's off warranty.
LMajAdamDrake: ::looks at her:: Hello.
SarinaJaral: Has he had a cold?
ElRiov trIdrys: Let's see if we give him a few CCs of
methacordrazine here that should bring it down.
SarinaJaral: ::nods and preps a hypo:::
AmythystCrystals: ::chuckles:: Somewhere, buried
deeply in there, is a good man, Doug.
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> ::nods::
AmythystCrystals: Don't tell anyone. ::winks at
him::
SarinaJaral: Would you like to administer it? ::Holding the
hypo out to Idrys:::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::takes hypo and injects::: Hmmmm well next time
you might check before going swimming.
LtDougMcKnight: I've made it 36 years that way already.
AmythystCrystals: ::turns to Ian:: And you.
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> ::frowns:: She's going to have
a cow. I made her kid sick.
MajorAZinthys: Markus, has she beamed to the
surface, yet?
8:30 PM
AmythystCrystals: Thank you.
ElRiov trIdrys: :::scans Noah again::: Good ... :::smiles:::
temperature is dropping.
AmythystCrystals: For everything.
LMajAdamDrake: How've you been?
SarinaJaral: You did not make him sick. Infections happen.
He might not have had any symptoms until today.
LtJGAaron Markus: No sir. I don't why...::checks:: They're in the
transporter room....
Lt TKirr: ::stares at Drake on her mini-screen::
Yes, Major?
ElRiov trIdrys: ::looks to Candy:: He should be all right in about
15 minutes.
MajorAZinthys: I've heard of long goodbyes, but
damn
VAdm Blackthorne: You're welcome, of
course. I wish I had known this all along.
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> :;sighs:: Thank you. It's
easier to tell the mother after the fact.
AmythystCrystals: ::smiles a little:: And ruined
the surprise ending?
VAdm Blackthorne: That's not entirely
true. Things wouldn't have been any different.
LtJGAaron Markus: To tell you the truth, I don't blame them.
LMajAdamDrake: ::looks at T'Kirr:: How've you been?
LtDougMcKnight: Known what, unless it's one of those need to
know things?
AmythystCrystals: ::moves into his arms:: Take
care of yourself.
ElRiov trIdrys: Oh I agree.
ElRiov trIdrys: :::scans Noah once more to make sure:::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::takes her in his
arms, doesn't reply with "You, too":: Thank you for a wonderful
evening, Amy.
Lt TKirr: ::frowns fleetingly at Drake's
conversational approach:: I have been well.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Closes his mouth, realizing he is in fact on
the verge of ruining a moment::
Lt jg D Ellis: Noah> ::kicks Idrys' hand::
LMajAdamDrake: Good. You look better than when we
spoke last.
ElRiov trIdrys: Ow!
Lt jg D Ellis: Noah> ::giggles::
ElRiov trIdrys: Well he's definitely on the mend.
Lt TKirr: ::converses more with Drake::
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> good can I take him home soon?
If we're not there when Dee gets back she'll freak
AmythystCrystals: ::kisses Ian, a good, long,
satisfying kiss for the romantics in the audience::
ElRiov trIdrys: Hmmm well I would say not for another few minutes
but if you must you must.
SarinaJaral: ::trying not to laugh::
LMajAdamDrake: {{Peanut Gallery> ::oohs and
ahhs::}}
ElRiov trIdrys: Just don't try and get into trouble again ...
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> Is it safe too?
AmythystCrystals: ::turns away and steps up on
the transporter pad::
AmythystCrystals: Good bye.
LMajAdamDrake: I realigned the lateral sensor array
as you requested however long ago. I apologize for the lack of promptness.
8:35 PM
ElRiov trIdrys: ::nods:: Go ahead.
VAdm Blackthorne: If any part of
humanity goes with you into them, let it be what you felt just then.
Lt jg D Ellis: Candy> ::picks Noah up and smiles::
Thank you..
AmythystCrystals: ::shimmers out, with an extra
sparkly shimmer::
Lt jg D Ellis: Noah> ::reachs out and grabs a padd
from the bed and starts to crew on it::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::turns to Z:: She's gone, sir.
MajorAZinthys: ::nods:: understood.
Lt jg D Ellis: *chew
VAdm Blackthorne: ::swallows::
VAdm Blackthorne: +Bridge+
Blackthorne to bridge.
LtDougMcKnight: ::Fails to find the words for making
conversation, and instead settles for frowning at the deck plating::
SarinaJaral: Ahem...::takes the padd away from Noah:::
MajorAZinthys: +Ian+ Zinthys here.
AmythystCrystals: @::lasts all of about 16
seconds on the Crystalline homeworld before she's destroyed and analyzed::
LMajAdamDrake: {{}}
Lt jg D Ellis: Noah> ::replaces it with his fist::
VAdm Blackthorne: +Z+ Set course for
the anomaly, send our regards to the Crystalline, and get us on our way. Warp
five.
VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
LtJGAaron Markus: <<>>

AmythystCrystals: Thanks for the opportunity.
You're a great crew.
VAdm Blackthorne: That performance
has to be worth an Emmy, a Tony, and an Oscar!
LMajAdamDrake: Definitely!
LMajAdamDrake: She's got my vote.
LtDougMcKnight: Don't forget that spray painted popcorn MTV

LMajAdamDrake: And a supporting role from the
Admiral.
LtJGAaron Markus: Suck up...
LtDougMcKnight: Look who's talking, Mr. "Admiral On

LMajAdamDrake: Hey, helm boy, shh...
VAdm Blackthorne: Now, First
Lieutenant Douglas McKnight, get yer arse up here.
8:40 PM
LtDougMcKnight: ::Steps up hesitantly:: Whatever it is, Drake
did it.
LMajAdamDrake: He's probably right. ::nods::
VAdm Blackthorne: Oh, so he's the one
responsible for excellent characterization and devotion to this sim?
LMajAdamDrake: ::nods:: Sounds like me.
LMajAdamDrake:
LtDougMcKnight: Oh, I figured you were referring to the spray
painted poodle.
Lt TKirr: ::bonks Drake and sweeps him under the
rug::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::watches Drake
disappear, nods approvingly::
LMajAdamDrake: ::is bonked and swept::
LtDougMcKnight: The thing you just said...that's all me.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::smirks::
VAdm Blackthorne: I'd hoped so.
VAdm Blackthorne: Wouldn't want to
stab, er, promote the wrong man.
VAdm Blackthorne: Igor, er, Major,
get me the box, pleez.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::thinks so that's where the hot green
poodle came from::
LMajAdamDrake: {{Can't stay, all, gotta jet.

MajorAZinthys: ::digs around under the Admiral's
chair::
MajorAZinthys: ::pulls out The Box::
MajorAZinthys: ::Hands it to Ian::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::takes it and
withdraws a sharp instrument::
MajorAZinthys: ::steps back calmly::
Lt TKirr: ::lifts a brow:: <w> This is
new...
LtDougMcKnight: ::Hopes this isn't one of those hazing things::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::covers his eyes:: (w) I can't watch.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::w to TKirr:: Yeah Z found the box right

VAdm Blackthorne: Douglas McKnight,
by the power invested in me by the state of Guam, I hereby promote you to the
rank of Marine Captain on the USS Atlantis. May Bob have mercy on your bowl!
::pips him, drawing blood::
SarinaJaral: ::nods and waits for the bloodletting::
Lt TKirr: ::wonders why Blackthorne was in Guam,
and why it's so powerful::
LtDougMcKnight: ::Puts a hand to his neck, his tears surely
tears of joy:: Thank you, EVER so much.
Lt jg D Ellis: Guam? No wonder the set falls apart every
other week
VAdm Blackthorne: Oh, you're welcome.
Drinks are on you.
VAdm Blackthorne: Thanks for the logs
that have started appearing recently, folks! Keep it up!
