You have just entered room "Celestial Prime."
LMajAdamDrake: Evening T'Kirr! ::Waves::
Lt TKirr: Good evening! =)
LMajAdamDrake: How are you?
VAdm Blackthorne has entered the room.
LMajAdamDrake: Admiral on Deck!
LMajAdamDrake: :-) Heya Jason. What's new?
VAdm Blackthorne: Hey everyone.
LtAaron Markus: Dang you Drake.
LtAaron Markus: I walk away and miss it.
LMajAdamDrake: ;-)
dkdr Marik has entered the room.
LMajAdamDrake: ::waves:: Evening Marik!
dkdr Marik: Hi... just stopping in to see who's here.
Lt TKirr: *sits down with her PB sandwich and lemon drop* Okay, I'm set! =P
VAdm Blackthorne has left the room.
VAdm Blackthorne has entered the room.
Lt TKirr: Guess he didn't wanna sim after all.
Lt TKirr: Oh.. hi =P
LtAaron Markus: Admiral on deck, again!
Lt TKirr: Mm, I bet he did that just for you. =)
LtAaron Markus: It's possible...
VAdm Blackthorne: Nope. :p
LtAaron Markus: Not very likely though....see?
Lt TKirr: Sshh!
MajorAZinthys: ::yawns::
Lt TKirr: Anyone got any LCARS sound waves for chat... lost mine several times, thanks to crashing hard drives...
Lt TKirr: And can't get them again, ever since STSV went down ><
VAdm Blackthorne: Well, looks like this is everyone for this week, so let's get started.
LMajAdamDrake: ::mutters an obscenity::
MajorAZinthys: ::blows into whistle::
MajorAZinthys: Attention!
LMajAdamDrake: ::@@::
Lt TKirr: ::AA::
LtAaron Markus: ::AA::
VAdm Blackthorne: Well, since this week is a bit thin on the turnout, we'll all be in a shuttle on its way back to Earth from the Starbase where that Banshee dropped us off.
VAdm Blackthorne: Questions?
VAdm Blackthorne: Guess not, so...
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
VAdm Blackthorne: ::leaning back in one of the chairs on the shuttle:
Lt TKirr: ::sitting in her chair, mind light years away, reading a PADD::
MajorAZinthys: ::Snoozing in the back::
LtAaron Markus: ::sitting at the Helm::
LtAaron Markus: ::piloting towards Earth::
LMajAdamDrake: ::tapping a PADD on the history of Betazed - enthralling reading to be sure::
VAdm Blackthorne: ETA, Mr. Markus?
LMajAdamDrake: ::looks up briefly, eyeing the pilot::
Lt TKirr: ::breathes deeply, thankful to not need to be on the lookout for anything trying to eat them::
LtAaron Markus: ::checks ETA:: 3 hours 17 minutes, sir.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods::
LMajAdamDrake: ::looks at his literary inventory, having more than enough to pass the time::
dkdr Marik has left the room.
MajorAZinthys: ::Dreams about an unmanned Atlantis coming to get them at the Starbase::
Lt TKirr: <<The spy has left! O.o>>
VAdm Blackthorne: ::gets up and walks around::
LMajAdamDrake: ::tilts his head and looks out at the stars, sort of enjoying the calm quietness::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::stretches::
Lt TKirr: ::continues reading her PADD, very much enjoying the calm quietness::
Lt TKirr: <<Dang, we are sparse, you're right>>
VAdm Blackthorne: ::sits back down::
LtAaron Markus: ::notices a small misalignment in the inertial dampeners::
LMajAdamDrake: ::suddenly wants to talk:: So, any idea on the status of Atlantis, Admiral?
Lt TKirr: ::glances over at Blackthorne briefly::
VAdm Blackthorne: The last report I got indicated that the minor refit was nearing completion.
LMajAdamDrake: Minor refit? Oh, boy. So they've repaired the hull damage and cleaned the carpets. I look forward to having to pull triple shifts to make sure Engineering is running right. ::laughs::
LtAaron Markus: ::attempts to realign with as little effort as possible::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::chuckles:::
VAdm Blackthorne: Supposedly there were some systems upgrades.
Lt TKirr: ::looks up::
LMajAdamDrake: ::blinks:: I beg your pardon?
VAdm Blackthorne: Upgrades.
Lt TKirr: ::curious:: Do you know what sort of upgrades?
LMajAdamDrake: Oh, Gods protect us. We've added a third nacelle and given the ship the ability to split into four parts. Something absurd, I'm sure.
VAdm Blackthorne: Weapons, engines, sensors, possibly.
LtAaron Markus: I hope they didn't reconfigure my Helm settings.
VAdm Blackthorne: ::laughs::
MajorAZinthys: <<Sorry, but I'm really falling asleep. Good night, peeps!>>
MajorAZinthys has left the room.
LMajAdamDrake: {{What the...?}}
Lt TKirr: <<Oh well, he's sleeping>>
LMajAdamDrake: All for the better, I hope.
VAdm Blackthorne: No, we're downgrading to the original NX-class warp five engine.
LtAaron Markus: ::laughs hysterically::
Lt TKirr: ::perks a brow at Markus::
LMajAdamDrake: ::smiles:: I wouldn't put Starfleet Command past it, they'd come up with some reason to do it.
LMajAdamDrake: Better gas mileage.
VAdm Blackthorne: You never know. ::chuckles::
CaptDougMcKnight has entered the room.
Lt TKirr: <Welcome, McKnight!>>
VAdm Blackthorne: ((Hey Doug!))
CaptDougMcKnight: (Hey folks, sorry I forgot to send an e-mail message. Once again, I don't have time to sim tonight.)
Lt TKirr: <<You don't seem to be the only one. =)>>
LtAaron Markus: ::trying to be funny:: You mean better dilithium mileage...
CaptDougMcKnight: (I just wanted to drop in, however, to wish everyone Merry Christmas and all that.)
LMajAdamDrake: {{Night Doug! ::waves::}}
Lt TKirr: <<Merry Christmas!>>
VAdm Blackthorne: ((Night Doug!))
LtAaron Markus: <<Merry Christmas!>>
LMajAdamDrake: ::smiles:: Yeah, something like that.
LMajAdamDrake: {{Merry Christmas to you too!}}
CaptDougMcKnight: (Seeya next week. Night folks.)
CaptDougMcKnight has left the room.
Lt TKirr: <<Trying to think creatively, but nothin's poppin' O.o>>
LMajAdamDrake: The plague of Starfleet: monotonous shuttle rides. ::chuckles:: So, who's up for a game of trivia? Huh?
VAdm Blackthorne: Trivia?
LtAaron Markus: Ugh....I hate trivia.
Lt TKirr: ::loves trivia:: <<oh crap, I'm dead =P>>
LMajAdamDrake: Yeah. You know, trivia. I give you hints and clues and questions and the object is to come up with the answer.
VAdm Blackthorne: Sure, why not?
LMajAdamDrake: Unless, Mr. Markus, you can think of something better to do? ::looks around the shuttle::
LtAaron Markus: ::fixes the misalignment and checks to see if there's anyway to get more power out of the engines so he doesn't have to play trivia....::
LMajAdamDrake: ::sighs:: All right...
LMajAdamDrake: ::thinks::
LtAaron Markus: Drag you out the back of the shuttle?
LMajAdamDrake: ::looks at him:: Bring it on, fly boy.
LMajAdamDrake: ::smirks slightly::
LMajAdamDrake: Category...planets.
LtAaron Markus: ::rolls eyes::
LMajAdamDrake: The official name of the Trill homeworld.
VAdm Blackthorne: Tra'Nil.
Lt TKirr: <<Either I'm having lag or that was insanely fast>>
LMajAdamDrake: {{Four seconds.}}
Lt TKirr: <<Yup.. must be lag.>>
LMajAdamDrake: That's right Admiral. ::thinks some more::
VAdm Blackthorne: ((I was that fast. :p))
Lt TKirr: <<I'm so NOT DS9'd lol>>
VAdm Blackthorne: ((Neither am I. ))
LMajAdamDrake: According to records released by Starfleet Command, there was another Starfleet ship lost in the Delta Quadrant. What was the name of her Captain? ::smiles::
Lt TKirr: Another?
LMajAdamDrake: ::nods:: The ship was the USS Equinox.
VAdm Blackthorne: Ah yes...
VAdm Blackthorne: That was Captain...
VAdm Blackthorne: Ransom!
LMajAdamDrake: ::smiles:: Yep.
LMajAdamDrake: {{Thank you StarTrek.com, right Jason?}}
VAdm Blackthorne: Several years ago, that.
VAdm Blackthorne: ((Nope, that was Voyager and it was brought there by the Caretaker, I remember now))
LMajAdamDrake: OK, let's see. Who is the new Executive Officer of the USS Enterprise-E under Captain Picard? You should know this from a GNN news report that marked the end of the longest CO/XO team in Starfleet history.
LMajAdamDrake: ::smiles:: Come on, these are the EASY ones. ::chuckles::
LtAaron Markus: Whatever!
Lt TKirr: << I haven't a clue..>
LMajAdamDrake: OK, fine. Commander Michael Madden.

LtAaron Markus: <<yeah>>
Lt TKirr: <<If you even care about this one, lol>>
VAdm Blackthorne: ((I do to give everyone attendance points))
LtAaron Markus: I got some major lag here.
Lt TKirr: <<As if you can't remember who all was here>>
LtAaron Markus: *<<>>
Kiley Airell: ((Do I get half points since I did actually make it, even though I"m half late??))
LMajAdamDrake: Anyone else want to give questions?
VAdm Blackthorne: ((you'll get credit.))
VAdm Blackthorne: I have one.
LMajAdamDrake: Go ahead.
VAdm Blackthorne: The famed Genesis incident.

Kiley Airell: NCC-638
VAdm Blackthorne: That's it.
LtAaron Markus: Good job Kiley.
Lt TKirr: ::wonders why Blackthorne memorizes registry numbers::
VAdm Blackthorne: ::studies history::
Kiley Airell: ::smiles to Aaron:: Lucky guess
VAdm Blackthorne: Alright... can anyone tell me what the name of the starship was that was recomissioned as the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-A, after the Whalesong incident?

VAdm Blackthorne: ::smiles::
Kiley Airell: Ti-Ho
VAdm Blackthorne: That's the one, Counselor.
Kiley Airell: ::grins::

VAdm Blackthorne: Go for it, Lt.
Lt TKirr: What year was the first warp drive invented on Earth?
LMajAdamDrake: 2063
LtAaron Markus: ::checks to make sure all systems are nominal, sets the autopilot and spins his chair around to face the others::
Lt TKirr: Correct, of course.
VAdm Blackthorne: Wow, that was fast.
Lt TKirr: Indeed.
LMajAdamDrake: Basic Engineering History. The first chapter of the academy is entitled 'Zephram Cochrane'. ::smiles::
LtAaron Markus: I have got the biggest lag on here.
VAdm Blackthorne: Naturally.
LtAaron Markus: *<<>>
LMajAdamDrake: OK, I've got another one.
