LtJGAaron Markus: Admiral on deck!
VAdm Blackthorne: Evening, folks
CptKetchum: ::pours Ketchup on AaronMarkus::... you like Ketchup... there
LtJGAaron Markus: ::licks all the ketchup:: Yum.
VAdm Blackthorne: What did I just walk into?
SarinaJaral: I have no idea, Admiral.
SarinaJaral: I'm staying in a corner.
VAdm Blackthorne: Can't blame you.
LtJGAaron Markus: I can't either.
SarinaJaral: Have some popcorn. ::Holds out a bowl to anyone who wants a handful::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::takes some::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::munches greedily::
SarinaJaral: ::Laughs:: Watch out, I use extra butter. ::Has napkins::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::holds hand up:: That's what sleeves are for. ::wipes mouth on sleeve leaving a nice buttery stain::
SarinaJaral: ::Rolls eyes::
CptKetchum: Butter goes nice with the ketchup, Aaron
CptKetchum: ::grins::
LtJGAaron Markus: Yes it does.
CaptDougMcKnight has entered the room.
VAdm Blackthorne: Captain! The rank looks good on you.
SarinaJaral: ::Holds out the bowl::Have some popcorn, Captain.
CaptDougMcKnight: It does have a certain ring, doesn't it?? :-)
Amythyst Grey has entered the room.
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Takes the offered popcorn:: racias.
CaptDougMcKnight: Gracias, even.
CaptDougMcKnight: So, Amy, how's the weather down there been lately?
SarinaJaral: Most welcome. ::smiles::
Amythyst Grey: Beautiful. Not too hot, nice breezes.
ElRiov trIdrys has entered the room.
CaptDougMcKnight: Hmmm...then perhaps I'll be able to wear a pincho without it killing me.
Amythyst Grey: Perfect "lying in the hammock" weather.
SarinaJaral: ::waves at Idrys:: Have some popcorn, Hakim.
MajorAZinthys has entered the room.
CaptDougMcKnight: poncho, rather
ElRiov trIdrys: Evening. Mmmmmmmmmm popcorn.
Amythyst Grey: ::looks at Sarina:: Some things never change, do they? All the attention (and popcorn) for the guys, but none for us girls?
SarinaJaral: ::Laughs:: You're more than welcome to some.
MajorAZinthys: ::throws popcorn at Amy::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::eats popcorn::
Amythyst Grey: That's quite all right.
ElRiov trIdrys: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa rain is really starting up. We've got a tornado watch here. :-X
Lt jg D Ellis: Oooo popcorn.. BRB
SarinaJaral: :::grins at Dakota:: There's plenty, have some.
CaptDougMcKnight: Ooh, I can't believe I almost forgot.
LtJGAaron Markus: Where are you Hakim?
CaptDougMcKnight: Bernadette, happy birthday.
Amythyst Grey: ::smiles:: Thank you!
ElRiov trIdrys: southwestern MI
LtJGAaron Markus: It's Bernadette's B-day???
LtJGAaron Markus: Happy Birthday!!!
ElRiov trIdrys: OMG ... YES Happy Birthday Bernadette! It's the 6th!!!!!!
CaptDougMcKnight: No, I just like to say happy birthday. :-P
Amythyst Grey: Thanks, Aaron.
LtJGAaron Markus: LOL
Amythyst Grey: Thanks, Hakim.
Lt TKirr has entered the room.
Lt jg D Ellis: ok the closest I could find was Chester Cheetah's puff corn
VAdm Blackthorne: Alright, let's get this show started.
MajorAZinthys: ::blows into whistle:: Attention!
Lt TKirr: ::AA::
ElRiov trIdrys: ::AA::
CaptDougMcKnight: ::AA::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::A-A::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::AA::
VAdm Blackthorne: Tonight, Atlantis is about to pass back through the gateway to our own space. Our crystalline escort out of their area has departed.
VAdm Blackthorne: Questions?
VAdm Blackthorne: Guess not, so ...
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
LtJGAaron Markus: ::sitting at Helm/Ops::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::on the bridge, watching the gateway grow larger on the screen::
CptKetchum has left the room.
MajorAZinthys: ::Standing at Tac::
VAdm Blackthorne: Time to gateway?
Lt jg D Ellis: ::staring our a window in the lounge at the blackness::
SarinaJaral: ::heading for the lounge:::
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Steps off the turbolift, onto the bridge:: Permission to wait here, Admiral? When the starts come back, I thought I'd catch the view from up here.
CaptDougMcKnight: (stars)
LtJGAaron Markus: 2 minutes, sir.
VAdm Blackthorne: Granted, Captain.
ElRiov trIdrys: :::finishes inventory, leaves SB in charge of Nurse Enpecie, heads to lounge as well:::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::snaps:: Yellow alert!
SarinaJaral: ::enters the lounge and looks around for a table, sees the Lt, she met that had the child, smiles:::
LtJGAaron Markus: <<Love the Enpecie (NPC)>>
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Smiles at the new title, still not quite used to it yet, but otherwise makes a point of thinking on it no further::
Lt TKirr: ::starts the alert::
VAdm Blackthorne: Half impuse for anomaly penetration.
MajorAZinthys: ::Taps button::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::enters lounge:::
SarinaJaral: ::walks over::Lt. Ellis?
LtJGAaron Markus: Aye, sir. ::reduces to half impulse::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::turns to see Sarina:: Hello
SarinaJaral: Would you mind if I joined you?
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Leans over the railing:: We expecting a welcoming party? Third fleet ships I mean.
VAdm Blackthorne: +Shipwide+ This is Admiral Blackthorne. Prepare for wormhole effect.
Lt jg D Ellis: Not at all. ::steps aside:: Wanted to watch the stars come back
VAdm Blackthorne: Take us in, Lieutenant.
MajorAZinthys: ::Grabs his console::
SarinaJaral: ::smiles:: Sure. It's been sort of freaky without them.
Lt TKirr: ::braces herself calmly::
LtJGAaron Markus: Yes, sir. ::eases the ship into the anomoly::
VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> Wormhole effect, y'all know the drill.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::doesn't speak so he doesn't sound like an idiot::
MajorAZinthys: ::moves really slowly and exaggeratedly, so as not to have to strain the special effects budget later::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::keeps his mouth shut::
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Waves his hand in front of his face, watching the distortion effect as he tries to ignore the light headedness and the sinking feeling in his stomach::
Lt TKirr: <<rofl!>>
Lt jg D Ellis: ::feels funny, kinda like she's in the tunnel scene in willy wonka::
SarinaJaral: ::wrinkles her nose, hates the effect:::
Lt TKirr: ::watches::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::remembers how he passed out last time and hopes it doesn't happen this time::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::watches:::
VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> Just as quickly as it started, it ends, and Atlantis pops out into the stars.
Lt TKirr: ::finds herself a little more green, but quickly starts scanning the area::
VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> And then the gateway closes behind them.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::gets really dizzy but manages to maintain balance and checks readings:: We're back...
VAdm Blackthorne: Set course for Earth.
SarinaJaral: Stars. We're back.
MajorAZinthys: ::Shrugs off any ill felling and scans the area::
Lt TKirr: No unusual readings.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::q:: They're so beautiful ...
LtJGAaron Markus: Gladly, sir. ::sets course for sector 001.::
VAdm Blackthorne: Warp five.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::smiles as she looks out the wind:: What a sight
SarinaJaral: ::turns and sees Idrys::Yes, they are.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::sets speed:: Aye, sir. Warp factor five.
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Smiles widely at the scene before him:: View's almost as nice as the place we're headed.
VAdm Blackthorne: Execute!
LtJGAaron Markus: ::executes::
SarinaJaral: A welcome sight. I'd say we deserve a special something. A drink, chocolate, something.
MajorAZinthys: <<::.exe::>>
VAdm Blackthorne: Major! You have the bridge!
MajorAZinthys: Aye, sir.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::walks briskly into the ready room::
Lt jg D Ellis: Try the triple mocha malted milkshake
VAdm Blackthorne: ::walks to his windows and stands to watch the stars:;
MajorAZinthys: Home again, home again, jiggity jig.
SarinaJaral: That sounds great. :waves to s server::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::runs a diagnostic to make sure the helm is working properly after the anomoly::
LtJGAaron Markus: ::looks at the Major::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::quietly, to himself:: I feel as though I've left a part of myself back there, as well... ::shakes head::
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Watches Blackthorne go, figuring, unsuurpsisingly, that he's not in much of a celebratory mood:: Right, well, I'd better get down to Ten Forward. There's drinking being done without me.
MajorAZinthys: T'Kirr, there are no cloaked ships that followed us through, were there?
SarinaJaral: What will you both have? ::to Ellis and Idrys::
Lt TKirr: None.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::notcies Idrys and jumps::
MajorAZinthys: Good.
SarinaJaral: ::laughs:: You both know each other?
LtJGAaron Markus: Very good.
MajorAZinthys: I trust that, had they wanted to kill us, they would have done so earlier, but one never knows.
ElRiov trIdrys: Oh yes we do. ::smiles::
Lt TKirr: ::realizes she told herself she would finally end her very long shift at this point, and summons an Ensign to relieve her::
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Steps back onto the turbolift:: Deck 10.
SarinaJaral: Good. ::smiles:: I'll have a triple mocha malted milkshake ::to the server:::
Lt TKirr: Agreed. I will be in my quarters.
Lt jg D Ellis: When did you?.. ::mind is so elsewhere:: nevermind.. I'll have anything that requries you to be 21
ElRiov trIdrys: ::to server:: Saurian brandy for me.
LtJGAaron Markus: I'm just glad it's all over with...At least I hope it is. I'm just a little sad that she had to go.
SarinaJaral: Add a shot of Kahlua to my milkshake.
Lt TKirr: <<I didn't think they served anything harder than synthehol onboard a starship =P>>
SarinaJaral: If everyone else is drinking I might as well too.
SarinaJaral: ::server nods and walks off to get their drinks:::
Lt jg D Ellis: (Don't you have to be 21 for that too? lol)
VAdm Blackthorne: They're all bloody celebrating in Ten Forward.
LtJGAaron Markus: Did you get to talk with her Major?
MajorAZinthys: Yeah. I did.
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Walks into Ten Forward, and immediately goes for the bar:: Aldeberan whiskey.
Lt TKirr: ::heads towards the turbolift, then pauses, and instead stands in front of the ready room, setting off the chime::
SarinaJaral: Does anyone know exactly what happened with our visitor? I heard..well, anyway..I was sorry to hear it.
LtJGAaron Markus: What was she like? I mean...I saw her and listened to her when she was on the bridge, but other than that...::shrugs::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::turns, surprised:: Enter!
Lt TKirr: ::enters::
VAdm Blackthorne: What is it, Lieutenant?
Lt jg D Ellis: ::looks down at her boot tops::
MajorAZinthys: She was fucking psychic. She mind-raped you and didn't think twice about it. She was wise beyond her... days, but not as mature.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::shakes head sadly::
Lt TKirr: ::stands at AA:: Admiral. Sorry to disturb you. Just letting you know there are cloaked ships, or any other dangers.
SarinaJaral: ::Sighs:: And there wasn't any way around it?
MajorAZinthys: But, at the same time, she was doomed, and therefore tragic and pitiful.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::wipes the bit of smashed peas on the side of her right boot onto the carpet::
LtJGAaron Markus: Wow...that's pretty graphic.
VAdm Blackthorne: Thank you, Lieutenant.
MajorAZinthys: You asked.
Lt TKirr: ::realizes that probably wasn't the most logical reason for coming::
Amythyst Grey: >Uhm. I don't think so.<
LtJGAaron Markus: Oh..I know.
Lt TKirr: ::hesitantly:: How are you.. sir?
ElRiov trIdrys: Apparently not.
LtJGAaron Markus: I just didn't expect an answer like that I guess.
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Takes his drink in hand, and heads on over toward one of the windows, where he sees some other officers congregating:: I see you folks aren't losing any time.
Lt jg D Ellis: I was so sure it was a set up...
VAdm Blackthorne: ::finds the question odd, coming from a Vulcan:;
SarinaJaral: It's too bad she just got a taste of what it was like to be human. But I'm not sure I understood exactly how she came about.
VAdm Blackthorne: I am... alive.
MajorAZinthys: ::Walks down to HOps, letting his assisstant take over::
MajorAZinthys: You're, right, I probably shouldn't have said all that.
SarinaJaral: ::looks up:: Losing any time, Sir?
Lt TKirr: ::nods slowly, then straightens a little more:: If I may speak candidly.
MajorAZinthys: She was sweet in her curiosity about all that is human.
VAdm Blackthorne: If you're going to speak candidly, at least stand at ease.
Lt TKirr: ::loosens slightly::
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Raises his free hand, and points out a circle, indicating the bar, the windows, and finally the drinks:: Celebrating.
Lt TKirr: I know Ms. Crystal's departure was... difficult for you.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::sips her rum and pepsi:: Celebrating?
SarinaJaral: We were watcing our re-entry into familiar space, Sir. And decided to have a drink.
SarinaJaral: ::Nods to his drink:: Were you not here for the same reason? To have a drink?
MajorAZinthys: You didn't get to speak with her?
VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods::
Lt TKirr: I was... not sure if you wished someone to talk to, or if you wished to be alone.
CaptDougMcKnight: If pouring more alcohol into my system was the point, I could do that in my quarters.
VAdm Blackthorne: What would you have to say, Lieutenant? That what happened was perfectly bloody logical?!
SarinaJaral: If you'd like to join us, Captain...you're more than welcome.
CaptDougMcKnight: But....seeing as we all have a drink, let's not waste them.
SarinaJaral: ::Indicates a chair:: Please.
LtJGAaron Markus: No, I didn't. I've been on duty so much...I haven't had much time for socializing lately.
Lt TKirr: I was not going to say so, Admiral.
VAdm Blackthorne: Really?
Lt jg D Ellis: ::finally notes the new pips:: Captian? When did that happen? Congrats McKnight'
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Raises his glass:: To Amythyst Crystals. May her sacrifice, and the character that sacrifice took be appreciate more than it was in life::
SarinaJaral: ::lifts her glass and nods::
ElRiov trIdrys: Hear hear. ::raises glass::
CaptDougMcKnight: (Uh...forget that last colon.)
Lt TKirr: ::looks at the carpet:: While it was the most logical course of action, the good of the many outweighing the good of the few, I know that my Admiral does not necessarily always "feel" logically.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::raises her glass::
Lt TKirr: ::looks up::
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Downs the drink all at once, and winces appreciatively as the burning sensation spreads to his toes::
weissangelserene has entered the room.
weissangelserene: ((hey guys, sorry i'm late))
Lt TKirr: <<Glad to have you!>>
SarinaJaral: ::takes a sip of her shake:::
VAdm Blackthorne: Yes, damn those emotions, good and proper.
LtJGAaron Markus: <<Hey Weis>>
ElRiov trIdrys: ( evening Weis )
Lt TKirr: ::merely cocks an eyebrow and gazes at him::
weissangelserene: ::walks into sickbay::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::drinks:::
VAdm Blackthorne: Isn't that what you're saying?
Lt jg D Ellis: So does anyone know if we're heading to a base or to earth or repairs?
VAdm Blackthorne: That having emotions causes me to act irrationally and illogically?
MajorAZinthys: <<Who had who and where was I?>>
CaptDougMcKnight: Earth.
SarinaJaral: I have no idea. Do you, Captain?
ElRiov trIdrys: Home again.
LtJGAaron Markus: <<What happened, Major?>>
MajorAZinthys: <<nm>>
weissangelserene: ::smiles at the few staff in there and goes to her office::
LtJGAaron Markus: <<ok>>
Lt jg D Ellis: (Don't worry Z if you missed anything we'll make up for it on Banshee ;-) )
MajorAZinthys: ::Sits in the center chair::
MajorAZinthys: <<lol>>
CaptDougMcKnight: About damned time. This giant sardine can may work for you fleeters, but I've been aching for some honest to God fishing for weeks.
SarinaJaral: Fishing? I could use a good hunt, but I doubt I'll get it.
Lt TKirr: No, Admiral. This is not a Vulcan ship. Your emotions are a part of you, and while I find efficiency without emotion logical, that does not mean emotional species are not... without merit for their different opinions.
Lt jg D Ellis: ::mubbles:: Damn. I was hoping for a starbase
Amythyst Grey: >Good night, Atlantis.<
Amythyst Grey has left the room.
ElRiov trIdrys: ( niters and happy birthday again )
LtJGAaron Markus: ::watches the screen as the stars zoom by:: Now this feels right.
SarinaJaral: A starbase? Why would you prefer a starbase to Earth? If I'm not being too curious.
Lt jg D Ellis: Easy my mother is on Earth
VAdm Blackthorne: It's interesting to hear a Vulcan admit that.
SarinaJaral: ::Laughs::And you don't get along?
Lt jg D Ellis: we get along as long as there are light years between us
SarinaJaral: <James Doohan has Alzheimers>>
Lt TKirr: ::watches Blackthorne:: Infinite diversity, Admiral.
SarinaJaral: ::Laughs:: You could borrow mine for a while.
Lt TKirr: I do not doubt your ability to run your ship.
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Returns to the bar, and places his empty glass down on the bar.:: Another. In fact, make it a double. But on the rocks this time.
VAdm Blackthorne: But?
SarinaJaral: ::glances over as McKnight walks away from them, the turns her attention back to the group::
Lt jg D Ellis: No thanks one is enough
SarinaJaral: Mine's not so bad. She just worries a lot.
SarinaJaral: Hakim, what's your mother like?
Lt TKirr: I agree with you. It is uncustomary for such accepting thought among my race. But it is a realm of thought that is being surpassed by time.
weissangelserene: ::begins sending out messages for certain crew people to come to sickbay::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods:: Progressivism, even among the Vulcans.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::q:: Miss her a lot. ::looks down into drink::
Lt TKirr: ::feels the weariness of several shifts catching up with her::
MajorAZinthys: Mr. Markus, ETA?
SarinaJaral: ::Sighs::I've put my foot in it. I'm sorry.
Lt TKirr: Indeed.
LtJGAaron Markus: 1 hour 30 minutes.
ElRiov trIdrys: That's all right. You didn't know and had no way of telling.
VAdm Blackthorne: Do you realize, T'Kirr, that sometimes the good of the one can outweigh the good of the many?
Lt TKirr: ::puzzles:: Explain.
SarinaJaral: I thought I was going to lose mine, but I didn't.
SarinaJaral: I'm lucky.
VAdm Blackthorne: I'll let you think on that one yourself.
SarinaJaral: Do you suppose we'll get some leave when we get to Earth? ::trying to change the subject:::
Lt TKirr: ::raises her brows with a flicker of a look downward in curious acceptance, as all Vulcan's do so well::
ElRiov trIdrys: Most likely. There'd have to be a huge emergency to prevent it
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Rejoining the group:: This ship won't be in any shape to go anywhere else in a hurry.
VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> There's a huge emergency
Lt jg D Ellis: ::reaches up and itchs her bare ear where her ear ring should be:: Not likely to have time even if we do
VAdm Blackthorne: << j/k >>
SarinaJaral: So how long do you think we'll be there, Captain?
LtJGAaron Markus: <<LOL>>
Lt TKirr: <<lol...>>
Lt jg D Ellis: (LOL)
VAdm Blackthorne: Get some rest. Dismissed.
MajorAZinthys: <<Isn't there always?>>
Lt TKirr: ::nods, and exits::
Lt TKirr: ::glances at Zinthys before entering the lift::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::turns back to the stars::
Lt TKirr: Deck Eight.
CaptDougMcKnight: Word is that Drake was whining to no ened about the fused circuitry and whatnot. Could take weeks.
Lt TKirr: ::rides TL to her deck::
SarinaJaral: ::sighs:: Which means he'll be occupied the entire time. Great..now what will I do?
ElRiov trIdrys: Really ...
Lt jg D Ellis: ::looks at her oddly::
Lt TKirr: ::exits TL on 8, walking to her quarters::
weissangelserene: ::puts on some klingon opera music and starts finishing some reports up::
SarinaJaral: ::realizes what she just said::I mean...I imgaine he will...::sighs::
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Arches an eyebrow::
ElRiov trIdrys: ::mouths "he stood her up" to Ellis::
Lt jg D Ellis: ::rolls eyes and mouths "figures.. men.." ::
SarinaJaral: ::sighs:: It's really not a big deal. He made up for it.
VAdm Blackthorne: :;walks back out onto the bridge::
MajorAZinthys: ::Stands::
MajorAZinthys: Admiral.
CaptDougMcKnight: Mind not bunching me together with Drake?
MajorAZinthys: ::moves out of the way::
Lt TKirr: ::enters her cabin, sighing in relief, and bee-lines to the sonic shower::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::doesn't reply, sits down::
SarinaJaral: Of a better cut, are you, Captain? ::smiling::
Lt jg D Ellis: (brb folks)
ElRiov trIdrys: ( afk for a sec )
MajorAZinthys: ::Retakes his station::
CaptDougMcKnight: You said it, not me.
SarinaJaral: ::smiles:: I like a man who knows his worth.
Lt TKirr: ::walks through the warm atmosphere of her quarters and leans down to light a candle on the floor::
ElRiov trIdrys: ( back )
Lt TKirr: ::opens a drawer and slips into something more comfortable, neatly folding her uniform and putting it away::
CaptDougMcKnight: Your worth is whatever you make it.
SarinaJaral: Not that I'm saying anything bad about Ad...Drake.
VAdm Blackthorne: Everything is normal?
Lt jg D Ellis has left the room.
Lt TKirr: ::crosses her legs on the floor and begins her familiar breathing exercises, watching the candle before letting her eyes flutter closed::
SarinaJaral: ::Nods:: True..something I found out on Betazed during the Occupation.
MajorAZinthys: Nothing out of the ordinary, if that's what you mean.
weissangelserene: ((sorry guys, i'm going to bed, this cold has got a bad hold of me))
weissangelserene has left the room.
CaptDougMcKnight: That musta sucked big burning balls of canal scum.
SarinaJaral: ::Shrugs::You do what you have to do. I made several Cardassians pay for what they were doing.
MajorAZinthys: No invisible ships attacking us and no strange anamolies, just us limping along.
Lt TKirr: ::ponders the good of the one outweighing the good of the few::
VAdm Blackthorne: Imagine that.
MajorAZinthys: We don't have to.
CaptDougMcKnight: And you woulda been how old then?
VAdm Blackthorne: Obviously.
MajorAZinthys: ::Raises his eyebrow::
SarinaJaral: Old enough to be a doctor already. I"m not exactly your typical ensign. I'm 35.
MajorAZinthys: Admiral.
MajorAZinthys: Would you rather we be assaulted by some strange creature?
CaptDougMcKnight: 36 here. Joined up late, did you?
VAdm Blackthorne: ::stands and turns to face him:: What are you implying, Major?
SarinaJaral: ::Nods:: After Betazed was freed. After working in the Resistance, this is easy.
MajorAZinthys: Permission to speak freely.
VAdm Blackthorne: For now.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::listens intently to the Admiral and Z::
CaptDougMcKnight: Give it time, ensign.
SarinaJaral: Not that..I mean, I take my service very seriously. It's just that..I like what I'm doing now.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::keeps his eyes forward on the viewscreen::
MajorAZinthys: I was expressing relief at not being attacked for a few days. I got sarcasm in response. This means you're either in a foul mood or you want us to be attacked. I'm just trying to figure out which it is.
MajorAZinthys: Sir.
Lt TKirr: <<::snorts::>>
SarinaJaral: I'm Sarina..Sarina Ja'ral.
CaptDougMcKnight: A starship is a few steps up from a fox hole, no mistake.
CaptDougMcKnight: Doug McKnight.
SarinaJaral: ::smiles::Nice to meet you, Captain.
VAdm Blackthorne: You've completely missed the point, Major.
SarinaJaral: Yes, it is..several steps up. And I don't have to kill anyone.
MajorAZinthys: ::waits::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::sits back down::
CaptDougMcKnight: Not yet, anyway.
MajorAZinthys: ::nods, thinks "foul mood"::
Lt TKirr: <<Guess Vulcans can do that to people>>
CaptDougMcKnight: No...I suppose that blue uniform will probably keep your nose clean.
SarinaJaral: ::Nods:: I hope not for a good long while. I've done too much killing.
ElRiov trIdrys: Well, we doctors are in the profession where we live by the motto Kill as few patients as possible.
SarinaJaral: ::smiles at Idrys:: That's originally put.
ElRiov trIdrys: ::grins::
CaptDougMcKnight: Well, I think I've hit the rot gut hard enough for now. It's been real.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::stands:: Stand down Alpha shift and bring in Beta shift.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::walks off the bridge into the TL::
SarinaJaral: ::Nods::Nice to meet you, Captain. Maybe we'll see each other again sometime.
LtJGAaron Markus: ::watches the Admiral leave::
MajorAZinthys: ::lets his replacement take over::
SarinaJaral: ::sips her shake:: I'm going to have to do exta work in the gym to make up for this.
MajorAZinthys: ::Takes the next TL to his quarters::
ElRiov trIdrys: Oh well ... it's worth it, I suppose.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::enters his quarters::
VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
CaptDougMcKnight: ::Walks back to the bar after nodding to the two of them, and returns his glass before exiting Ten Forward::
VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
LtJGAaron Markus: ::paused::
ElRiov trIdrys: :::desuaP:::

MajorAZinthys: Dismissed!
MajorAZinthys has left the room.
ElRiov trIdrys: Niters
Lt TKirr: =)
ElRiov trIdrys has left the room.
Lt TKirr has left the room.
