7:02:50 PM lcdrtkirr: 'Ello.
7:03:02 PM vadmblackthorne: Hey hey
7:15:27 PM vadmblackthorne: Well this looks promising.
7:15:41 PM lcdrtkirr: Hehe
7:21:02 PM vadmblackthorne: Ah well.
7:21:13 PM lcdrtkirr: Meh.
7:22:49 PM vadmblackthorne: Yeah. :(
7:23:20 PM lcdrtkirr: Just
don't tell my husband hehe
7:23:38 PM vadmblackthorne: Hm?
7:24:12 PM lcdrtkirr: He
went with a couple friends on a boat to watch the Christmas boats
7:24:29 PM lcdrtkirr: I
told him I couldn't go 'cause I had sim, hehe
7:24:36 PM vadmblackthorne: Awwwwwww, that sucks. :(
7:25:05 PM lcdrtkirr: Eh,
don't know that I care which way or the other, but he wanted me along
7:27:47 PM vadmblackthorne: Ah well, I appreciate you being
here. :)
7:28:10 PM lcdrtkirr: Hehe,
yay, points for me!
7:29:40 PM vadmblackthorne: Maybe sometime we can write another
log again or something.
7:30:03 PM lcdrtkirr: Yeah
if we can come up with something to write about. =P
7:33:45 PM vadmblackthorne: Yeah, we're kinda limited in this
situation we're stuck in, but not completely.
7:34:05 PM lcdrtkirr: Not
completely, no.
7:37:13 PM vadmblackthorne: What's tripping us up is that we
passed the major event we planned and don't have anything else planned out.
7:47:29 PM lcdrtkirr: Oh,
hello there...
7:49:03 PM cmdrshelev: welcome
to erf
7:49:10 PM vadmblackthorne: McKnight's on his way in.
7:49:49 PM majdougmcknight: Hey, folks. Sorry
for the rather drastic tardiness.
7:50:22 PM majdougmcknight: But no force choking!
7:50:46 PM lcdrtkirr: Hehe
7:50:53 PM vadmblackthorne: Heh, okay then!
7:51:01 PM cmdrshelev: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
7:51:01 PM vadmblackthorne: A little late, but better late than
never.
7:54:01 PM vadmblackthorne: Okay, let's get started.
7:54:19 PM cmdrshelev: Someone
else blow the whistle my mouth hurts
7:54:28 PM lcdrtkirr: ::grabs
the whistle::
7:54:39 PM lcdrtkirr: TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETpppptth
7:54:43 PM cmdrshelev: fail
7:55:44 PM vadmblackthorne: Tonight we're in our hiding place,
the abandoned trainmen's quarters in the disused subway.
7:56:55 PM vadmblackthorne: We have had a night's rest and time
to tend to new wounds.
7:57:06 PM majdougmcknight: Woo!
7:57:48 PM lcdrtkirr: Yay
for new wounds.... I mean
7:58:06 PM vadmblackthorne: Stomachs, however, are rumbling...
7:58:26 PM lcdrtkirr: ::squints,
peering at the others suspiciously::
7:58:34 PM majdougmcknight: Screw that! I gets
to keep me leg!
7:59:10 PM vadmblackthorne: Okay then.
7:59:12 PM vadmblackthorne: BEGIN SIM
7:59:13 PM vadmblackthorne: BEGIN SIM
7:59:15 PM vadmblackthorne: BEGIN SIM
7:59:39 PM vadmblackthorne: ::sitting up on a rickety cot,
gathering his wits::
8:00:01 PM cmdrshelev: ::Saws
logs::
8:00:03 PM lcdrtkirr: ::sits
huddled on a bench, looking cold::
8:00:12 PM majdougmcknight: ::Nods from the door.
If his leg is better, it stands to reason he's taken up a watch:: Morning, Admiral.
8:00:36 PM vadmblackthorne: Major. Got the eggs and bacon
ready?
8:00:40 PM lcdrtkirr: ((Oh,
guess I'm asleep))
8:01:23 PM lcdrtkirr: ::asleep
with her head resting on her knees, arms locked around her legs::
8:02:48 PM majdougmcknight: You bet. If by eggs
and bacon, you mean a phasered rat...and if by rat, you mean something that
passes for one.
8:03:07 PM vadmblackthorne: I was afraid of that.
8:03:27 PM lcdrtkirr: ((rofl))
8:04:27 PM vadmblackthorne: First order of the day should be to
find food and water then.
8:05:27 PM lcdrtkirr: ::prompted
towards consciousness from the conversation around her, blinks her eyes and
begins to stir::
8:06:21 PM cmdrshelev: ::SNNNNNNNGGHHHHHHHHHHH-
ssssssssssssssssssssssss::
8:06:23 PM majdougmcknight: They must have gotten water down here SOMEHOW. It stands to reason there must be
plumbing around here somewhere.
8:06:38 PM majdougmcknight: ...of course, I didn't see any water filtration equipment in that
med kit.
8:07:04 PM lcdrtkirr: ::takes
in a deep breath and extends her legs, stretching the stiffness from her
muscles::
8:07:06 PM vadmblackthorne: There were a few tablets.
8:07:14 PM vadmblackthorne: Morning, Commander.
8:07:25 PM vadmblackthorne: Well, as far as we can tell down
here, it's morning.
8:07:33 PM lcdrtkirr: ::clears
her throat ineffectually:: Good morning.
8:09:57 PM vadmblackthorne: ::gets up, stretches, and casually
kicks Shelev's bunk::
8:11:08 PM lcdrtkirr: ::peers
sidelong in Shelev's direction with disinterest before standing up and rubbing
her arms vigorously::
8:11:25 PM cmdrshelev: ::SSSSSSNNNNNNNNNGack::
?
8:12:35 PM vadmblackthorne: ::walks on past in a circle and
then sits back down::
8:12:47 PM lcdrtkirr: ::approaches
McKnight:: How was your watch?
Uneventful, I assume?
8:12:58 PM majdougmcknight: ::Looks over at T'Kirr sympathetically:: Sorry, it's no Mount Selaya down
here. My dress jacket is pretty
torn up, but it's over on the cot if you want it.
8:13:19 PM vadmblackthorne: Speaking of these blasted uniforms.
8:13:42 PM vadmblackthorne: We need to find clothes that are
less... uniform.
8:13:50 PM lcdrtkirr: ::twists
to look over at the offered jacket, then returns to nod at McKnight
appreciatively::
8:14:22 PM lcdrtkirr: What
would you suggest?
8:14:24 PM majdougmcknight: I'd tend to agree, sir.
Unfortunately, I doubt we'll find many afforably priced boutiques down
here.
8:14:33 PM majdougmcknight: (affordably)
8:14:41 PM cmdrshelev: ::wakes
up:: Aye?
8:15:10 PM vadmblackthorne: Perhaps the employees here left
something behind if the lockers aren't all stripped clean.
8:15:36 PM cmdrshelev: What
are we looking for again?
8:15:53 PM majdougmcknight: Explore the facility then?
I could do with a change of scenery.
8:16:39 PM vadmblackthorne: Good call.
8:16:49 PM vadmblackthorne: ::stands up and stretches:: Let's
get a move on.
8:17:07 PM cmdrshelev: ::stands
up and:: GAGH.
8:17:11 PM cmdrshelev: I'll
live.
8:17:16 PM cmdrshelev: My
back won't, but I will.
8:17:20 PM cmdrshelev: Maybe.
8:17:25 PM cmdrshelev: What's
for breakfast?
8:17:30 PM vadmblackthorne: Phasered rat.
8:17:36 PM cmdrshelev: Needs
garlic.
8:17:47 PM vadmblackthorne: Or something we might be able to
trade for after we find less
conspicuous attire.
8:17:53 PM vadmblackthorne: I daresay I've soiled my cuffs.
8:17:59 PM lcdrtkirr: ::wanders
over to the cot and picks up McKnight's jacket:
8:18:55 PM vadmblackthorne: ::wishes his uniform had a jacket
like the Marine one::
8:19:03 PM lcdrtkirr: I
recall a few dead men upstairs.
::shrugs partway into the jacket::
8:20:02 PM vadmblackthorne: Let's go. ::moves toward the door deeper into the complex::
8:20:50 PM lcdrtkirr: ::follows
somewhat stiffly, hugging the jacket about her shoulders::
8:21:17 PM lcdrtkirr: ::to
McKnight:: Do you have the tricorder?
8:21:37 PM vadmblackthorne: ::opens the door which falls off
its hinges::
8:21:40 PM vadmblackthorne: I sense a trend.
8:21:49 PM lcdrtkirr: ::jumps
and stares::
8:22:17 PM vadmblackthorne: ::goes on through::
8:22:54 PM lcdrtkirr: ::steps
on the rickety door on her way past::
8:23:02 PM majdougmcknight: ::Without a word, McKnight tosses the tricorder, which he'd been
using as a proximity alarm during his watch to the science officer, before
bringing the blaster rifle he'd "borrowed" up into firing position,
8:23:08 PM majdougmcknight: and follows Blackthorne out.::
8:24:43 PM lcdrtkirr: ::flips
open the tricorder and takes a quick scan::
8:24:50 PM vadmblackthorne: Anyone else alive down here?
8:25:58 PM lcdrtkirr: Only
a few members of the rodent family.
8:26:45 PM vadmblackthorne: And they aren't of unusual size?
8:27:04 PM lcdrtkirr: ::blinks
at Blackthorne:: What do you mean?
8:27:17 PM vadmblackthorne: No giant rats, just normal ones,
correct?
8:28:07 PM lcdrtkirr: As
far as I can tell. Although, I
don't know what's 'normal' for this planet, as I didn't preview the files on
wildlife before coming.
8:28:23 PM majdougmcknight: ::Grins:: See, day's
looking up already! All the same,
I think I'll be writing a less than glowing letter to this planet's board of
tourism once we get out of here.
8:28:55 PM vadmblackthorne: Breakfast leaves a bit to be
desired.
8:29:16 PM majdougmcknight: I've gotten better service from a Jem'Hadar.
8:30:22 PM vadmblackthorne: ::moves on into the next room and
finds it bare::
8:30:47 PM vadmblackthorne: Not the VIP quarters.
8:30:50 PM lcdrtkirr: ::has
no intention of having rats for breakfast::
8:31:16 PM majdougmcknight: (Oh right, vegetarian.
She's screwed.)
8:32:25 PM vadmblackthorne: ::moves on down the hall and up a
flight of stairs::
8:33:00 PM lcdrtkirr: ::climbs
the stairs with purpose, hoping to warm up::
8:33:05 PM vadmblackthorne: ::tries the door at the top and
finds it actually locked::
8:33:56 PM majdougmcknight: ::Points his rifle::
If I may, sir?
8:34:21 PM lcdrtkirr: ::steps
back with McKnight's obvious intention::
8:34:25 PM vadmblackthorne: ::steps out of the way:: By all
means.
8:35:36 PM lcdrtkirr: ::bumps
into Shelev::
8:36:19 PM cmdrshelev: ?
8:36:28 PM lcdrtkirr: ((mistake))
8:37:11 PM majdougmcknight: ::And with authorization given, a volley of plasma bursts come
screaming out of the gun's barrel, leaving the lock destroyed, and the metal
door glowing slightly from the heat.
This, he immediately holds his hands up to::
8:37:27 PM majdougmcknight: Oh, that's nice.
8:37:47 PM lcdrtkirr: ::raises
an eyebrow::
8:38:27 PM vadmblackthorne: ::puts his hands up to the door as
well:: Mmm. Nice.
8:38:45 PM cmdrshelev: Pfft,
sissies.
8:39:14 PM vadmblackthorne: Just because Andor is naturally
near absolute zero doesn't mean we like it that cold.
8:39:20 PM majdougmcknight: ::A moment later, with a slightly sheepish grin, steps back from
the door::
8:39:35 PM cmdrshelev: Point
stands.
8:40:01 PM majdougmcknight: Fair enough, Commander.
Should we bring up your heroic battle with the neon sign?
8:40:23 PM vadmblackthorne: ::chuckles::
8:41:14 PM lcdrtkirr: ::decides
to wait where she stands for the men to finish with the door so she can go
through it::
8:41:39 PM cmdrshelev: There
is dignity in loss, sir.
8:41:42 PM vadmblackthorne: ::nudges the door with his boot::
8:42:20 PM vadmblackthorne: ::watches it swing open and not
fall off its hinges::
8:43:02 PM vadmblackthorne: Remarkable.
8:43:13 PM lcdrtkirr: It
was locked.
8:43:48 PM vadmblackthorne: There's a certain quality to doors
I'd come to expect.
8:43:49 PM majdougmcknight: Now it's not. So
let's loot while the looting's good.
8:44:36 PM vadmblackthorne: ::goes on in to find the quarters
proper, with rows of better looking cots along with a storage closet::
8:44:54 PM vadmblackthorne: ::there are a few traces of the former
occupants, in the manner of skeletons in some of the cots::
8:44:59 PM lcdrtkirr: ::eyes
glue to the closet hopefully::'
8:45:23 PM majdougmcknight: Any clues what killed them?
8:45:36 PM cmdrshelev: I
would wager being down here was enough.
8:45:38 PM cmdrshelev: Lord
8:45:40 PM cmdrshelev: j;adklsfj;adsfkj
8:45:48 PM cmdrshelev: ((remove
last two lines from the log sir))
8:46:15 PM cmdrshelev: There's
enough hazardous materials in this air to poison someone in a matter of days,
I'd wager.
8:46:40 PM majdougmcknight: Well, isn't that a cheery thought?
8:46:50 PM vadmblackthorne: And you just now mention this?
8:47:52 PM lcdrtkirr: We
won't be here long enough to be in danger. ::pushes toward the storage closet and pulls on the handle:
8:48:22 PM cmdrshelev: Previously
I was occupied by my back being roasted.
8:48:24 PM vadmblackthorne: ACTION> The closet opens up,
revealing a cache of tools for working on trains as well as uniforms, that
though musty and old, are intact.
8:48:26 PM majdougmcknight: Well, I guess that explains why the locals steer clear of the
place then.
8:48:42 PM cmdrshelev: That's
ok, we're from SPACE.
8:49:36 PM lcdrtkirr: ::steps
aside to allow the contents to be plainly seen by the others::
8:50:21 PM majdougmcknight: ::Peruses the closet's contents:: Well, I still wouldn't want to draw too much attention in
these, but at least now we'll just scream "weirdos", not "Star
Fleet".
8:50:25 PM vadmblackthorne: Alright. Remove your rank insignia
and commbadges, pocket them, and find something that fits you. Remove all
insignia from those uniforms as well.
8:50:56 PM lcdrtkirr: ::reaches
in and pulls out a promising size::
8:50:57 PM vadmblackthorne: From now on, no more referring of
anyone else by rank.
8:51:19 PM cmdrshelev: ::Finds
one that looks somewhat free of maggots.::
8:51:58 PM vadmblackthorne: ((Maggots wouldn't be in there with
nothing to eat (AKA dead flesh)
8:52:00 PM lcdrtkirr: ((Why
the hell would maggots be in dusty old clothing))
8:52:11 PM cmdrshelev: ((because
I am dumb and trying to guard mine in AB))
8:52:18 PM lcdrtkirr: ((Moths...
he meant moths...))
8:52:19 PM majdougmcknight: (They're ALIEN maggots!)
8:52:32 PM cmdrshelev: ((moths
work :v: RETCON))
8:52:43 PM vadmblackthorne: ((PARAMOUNT IS FUCKING US AGAIN!!!)
8:53:15 PM vadmblackthorne: ::finds one that looks about
right::
8:53:29 PM lcdrtkirr: ::pulls
the uniform over hers, thankful for another layer::
8:53:41 PM majdougmcknight: ::Busies himself trying to remove a badge without ripping a hole
in his uniform:: Suppose those
tools still work? I wouldn't mind
having some bartering items we wouldn't miss later on.
8:53:47 PM vadmblackthorne: ::takes off his Admiral's pips and
commbadge::
8:53:56 PM vadmblackthorne: It's a thought.
8:53:57 PM lcdrtkirr: ::finds
it a little baggy, but suitable::
8:54:35 PM cmdrshelev: ::Pulls
off his insignia and combadge, tosses his destroyed jacket in the cabinet,
pulls on a trainman's coat::
8:54:39 PM majdougmcknight: ::Removes his uniform tie and makes to toss it, but after a
moment's consideration, clearly changes his mind, and pockets the thing.::
8:55:25 PM vadmblackthorne: ::pockets the pips and badge, and
removes a logo of some sort from the "new" uniform::
8:55:42 PM vadmblackthorne: ::pulls it on over his own, then
goes deeper into the closet and finds a jacket::
8:56:31 PM vadmblackthorne: ::finds one that fits him and puts
it on, thinking rather warm and comfortable::
8:56:56 PM majdougmcknight: ::Figures his white uniform shirt won't look too out of place
along with the native garb, and so he simply pulls the maintenence worker
jacket over it.:: Yeah, this
works. Got a nice Han Solo feel to
it.
8:57:11 PM vadmblackthorne: ::grabs one about T'Kirr's size and
emerges with it, tosses it to her::
8:57:19 PM lcdrtkirr: ::catches
it:: Thanks.
8:57:57 PM lcdrtkirr: ::wraps
the jacket tightly around herself, twitching her nose trying not to sneeze in
the stirred-up dust::
8:58:32 PM vadmblackthorne: A marked improvement in our state
of affairs.
8:58:44 PM vadmblackthorne: This room is far more secure than
where we spent last night, as well.
8:58:49 PM cmdrshelev: We
look like suitably passable bums if I may sayso myself.
8:58:55 PM cmdrshelev: It
has skeletons in it, though.
8:59:01 PM vadmblackthorne: Skeletons are harmless.
8:59:03 PM majdougmcknight: Rather well armed bums.
8:59:08 PM vadmblackthorne: At least we're warm.
8:59:11 PM cmdrshelev: Plus
McKnight blew the door up.
9:00:22 PM vadmblackthorne: Now, breakfast.
9:00:28 PM majdougmcknight: Yeah, sorry. I'll
remember to bring my lock picking stuff next time we crash and burn on a
routine diplomatic mission.
9:00:39 PM lcdrtkirr: ((lol))
9:01:04 PM vadmblackthorne: ::smiles:: We're going to need to
barter for food, since hunting's out of the question.
9:01:26 PM lcdrtkirr: ::looks
casually over the tools, attempting to ascertain the use of each one::
9:02:12 PM vadmblackthorne: And, to do this, we need to blend
in even more.
9:02:23 PM majdougmcknight: ::Nods:: While I
don't like the thought of staying down her longer than we have to, it would
probably be safer if just one or two of us go scouting for the marketplace.
9:02:31 PM majdougmcknight: (here)
9:02:46 PM vadmblackthorne: My thoughts exactly. Whoever wants
us dead is looking for five Starfleet officers.
9:03:08 PM majdougmcknight: Kiley> Damn straight.
9:03:47 PM lcdrtkirr: ((haha))
9:04:22 PM lcdrtkirr: ::swallows
as she accepts this, waiting for the inevitable order that will split them up::
9:04:35 PM vadmblackthorne: Shelev, McKnight. You two, take
what tools you can, and the nonessential medicine.
9:06:01 PM cmdrshelev: Who's
bad cop?
9:06:06 PM cmdrshelev: He's
bad cop.
9:06:07 PM cmdrshelev: Right.
9:06:13 PM cmdrshelev: ::Plunders::
9:06:26 PM majdougmcknight: ::Nods, then glances at Blackthorne's dual pistols:: Trade ya...Ian. Not sure they'll take kindly to super aggressive haggling.
9:06:58 PM vadmblackthorne: Well, that rifle certainly has held
its own. ::Offers McKnight the pistols::
9:07:37 PM lcdrtkirr: ::holds
out the tricorder, offering it to Shelev::
9:07:46 PM majdougmcknight: ::Handing over the rifle, McKnight shoves one pistol into his
jacket, before offering the second to Shelev::
9:08:16 PM majdougmcknight: ::Unless he's already picked out his ghetto planet thug gear from
before::
9:08:50 PM vadmblackthorne: ::takes the rifle and checks it
out::
9:08:53 PM cmdrshelev: ::Takes
the tricorder and pockets it.::
9:09:28 PM cmdrshelev: I'll
make sure to bring the pistol back.
9:09:35 PM cmdrshelev: Unless
they offer us a good deal
9:10:32 PM vadmblackthorne: Alright, go get us some breakfast.
Good hunting.
9:11:08 PM lcdrtkirr: ::missing
her everpresent tricorder, has nothing to do with her hands so puts them behind
her and stands patiently, waiting to see the two off::
9:11:26 PM majdougmcknight: ::Nods, tying off the top of a conveniently placed carrying sack
with their hopes for meal tickets inside:: We'll be in touch.
9:11:46 PM lcdrtkirr: Be
careful.
9:11:59 PM vadmblackthorne: We'll work on the plumbing
situation.
9:13:01 PM majdougmcknight: ::Nods, with a half smile to T'Kirr, and heads off for the
nearest ascending staircase:: Come
on, good cop.
9:14:29 PM cmdrshelev: Thought
I told you never to call me that. ::follows McKnight::
9:15:07 PM vadmblackthorne: ::looks to T'Kirr:: I would assume,
being that these are living quarters, that the door there is the bathroom.
9:15:28 PM lcdrtkirr: You
would be correct.
9:15:41 PM vadmblackthorne: Let's work on some clean water
then.
9:15:46 PM vadmblackthorne: PAUSE SIM
9:15:47 PM vadmblackthorne: PAUSE SIM
9:15:48 PM vadmblackthorne: PAUSE SIM
9:15:55 PM lcdrtkirr: ::pauses::
9:16:06 PM majdougmcknight: ::Pauses as well::
9:16:43 PM vadmblackthorne: Well, nice to see us end up simming
tonight. :)
9:16:50 PM lcdrtkirr: Agreed.
^_^
9:17:22 PM majdougmcknight: Yeah, sorry about that.
9:17:36 PM cmdrshelev: makin
cash moneys
9:18:13 PM vadmblackthorne: Okay, McKnight can't come the next
two weeks right?
9:18:33 PM lcdrtkirr: :-X
9:18:39 PM majdougmcknight: I'm afraid that is correct.
My overnight delivery shifts have been moved back a day to avoid
Christmas and New Years.
9:18:52 PM vadmblackthorne: Alright. I'll be traveling those
weeks as well.
9:19:18 PM vadmblackthorne: Though I could potentially make it
to the sim, it'd be strained.
9:19:25 PM majdougmcknight: Well...good cop, bad cop log?
9:19:36 PM vadmblackthorne: That's what I'm thinking. We can
resolve "next sim" in logs.
9:19:52 PM vadmblackthorne: And resume on January 9th.
9:19:52 PM lcdrtkirr: Cool.
9:19:59 PM majdougmcknight: Alrighty then.
9:20:27 PM cmdrshelev: ok
we will work the google
9:20:29 PM cmdrshelev: later
9:20:35 PM majdougmcknight: Night.
9:20:36 PM cmdrshelev: now
I am going to play san andreas
9:20:41 PM vadmblackthorne: Night folks, see you next year!
9:20:44 PM cmdrshelev: hay
why don't we just pimp kielly for food
9:20:46 PM lcdrtkirr: See
you two in a couple weeks. =)
9:20:53 PM majdougmcknight: Heh...wow, guess so.
Later.
9:20:59 PM cmdrshelev: lates
9:21:08 PM majdougmcknight: Hmmm...Kiley's probably hot, right?
9:21:17 PM majdougmcknight: You may be on to something.
9:21:35 PM lcdrtkirr: o.O
9:21:46 PM vadmblackthorne: Of course, who is ever ugly in a
sim?
9:21:55 PM lcdrtkirr: Shelev.
9:21:56 PM cmdrshelev: THERE
ARE ONLY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ON TELEVISION
9:21:58 PM lcdrtkirr: I

9:22:05 PM vadmblackthorne: :iceburn:
9:23:30 PM majdougmcknight: Heh heh, later you crazy kids.
9:23:33 PM vadmblackthorne: Night!
