6:58:33 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Hiya
6:58:38 PM TKirr: hi
6:59:12 PM TKirr: afk
7:00:53 PM MisterBoxingBear: Hey.
7:01:48 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Hey
7:03:17 PM MisterBoxingBear: Okay, assuming it's up on the site,
I'll totally catch up on BSG tonight.
7:03:26 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Sure it is.
7:05:00 PM MisterBoxingBear: Sweet.
7:05:41 PM MisterBoxingBear: So, as I already told Jason, Rach
will be rather late tonight, due to road work on the way home from work.
7:07:47 PM VAdm Blackthorne: There she is :D
7:07:56 PM EnsRedshirt299: Hiya!
7:08:03 PM VAdm Blackthorne: This is my friend, the Redshirt.
7:08:10 PM MisterBoxingBear: Hey!
7:08:27 PM MisterBoxingBear: Redshirt? I hope this isn't the new doctor!
7:08:37 PM TKirr: Hey, Redshirt. =P
7:08:38 PM EnsRedshirt299: Yes, I know I have to die. :-D
7:08:50 PM VAdm Blackthorne: She's here to watch us tonight.
7:08:55 PM MisterBoxingBear: Oh, I was more worried about how
the shirt got red in your case.
7:10:58 PM EnsRedshirt299: I havent quite got everything decided
so a red-shirt seemed appropriate for tonight.
7:11:09 PM MisterBoxingBear: Ah, makes sense. Welcome!
7:11:18 PM TKirr: Yes, welcome. =)
7:11:30 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Apologies for my slow reactions,
on the phone.
7:11:47 PM EnsRedshirt299: Also I just woke up, so not quite all
here.
7:12:03 PM TKirr: Apologies for my usual sleepiness. =/
7:13:29 PM EnsRedshirt299: Nice place you have here, love what
y'all have done with the decor. ;-)
7:14:51 PM VAdm Blackthorne: I'll be around soon.
7:16:13 PM MisterBoxingBear: We have one more coming later. Traffic trouble.
7:18:14 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Hiya Percy
7:18:21 PM LtCmdrBusard: Hey.
7:18:55 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Okay then! Shelev will be along
tonight I believe, but toward the end.
7:19:00 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Percy, this is my friend the
Redshirt.
7:19:04 PM VAdm Blackthorne: She's watching tonight.
7:19:11 PM EnsRedshirt299: Hello!
7:19:27 PM LtCmdrBusard: Good day, Cannon Fodder-er, I mean Redshirt!
7:19:40 PM EnsRedshirt299: O:-)
7:19:59 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Okay then, let's get this party
started.
7:20:33 PM VAdm Blackthorne: When last we left, our
time-shifting planet had just dumped us into an icy mountain range after we saw
an older Percy in the desert, who told us that we all die.
7:20:44 PM VAdm Blackthorne: And that apparently I color my
hair, but that's all lies.
7:21:04 PM TKirr: >_>
7:21:17 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Any questions?
7:21:30 PM LtCmdrBusard: We're still all going to die, aren't we.
7:21:47 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Probably. But hey, at least you'll
go in styl- no, not that either. Oh well.
7:22:06 PM LtCmdrBusard: Right. For the record: Hate hate hate
7:22:14 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Indeed.
7:22:16 PM VAdm Blackthorne: With that said,
7:22:17 PM VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
7:22:18 PM VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
7:22:19 PM VAdm Blackthorne: BEGIN SIM
7:22:33 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::ushering everyone into the cave
to get out the accursed wind::
7:22:59 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Was already in cave::
7:23:08 PM TKirr: ::hurries herself into the cave, thinking 'not
again'::
7:23:37 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::ducks inside::
7:23:50 PM EnsRedshirt299: ::Follows, just in case::
7:24:31 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::re-phasers the rock wall for
warmth::
7:24:43 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::turns to the haggard bunch::
7:24:49 PM MisterBoxingBear: Okay, so...maybe THIS isn't such a
good time. But the next shift we
get that's even close to tolerable, we should really scavenge what we can from
that ship.
7:25:00 PM VAdm Blackthorne: I'll have you all know, that what
we just saw.
7:25:05 PM LtCmdrBusard: I agree.
7:25:21 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Is not the future that we'll
experience. We all know that time is malleable, especially here.
7:25:35 PM VAdm Blackthorne: OUR future is on Atlantis, and we'll
get back to it. Understood?
7:25:52 PM TKirr: ::nods slightly, resembling more of a shivered
jerk of her chin::
7:26:15 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Still staring suspiciously at the
Admiral's hair.::
7:26:24 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Yes, when the next shift happens,
if it's a good one, we'll go scavenging. In the meantime, warmth and food.
7:26:32 PM LtCmdrBusard: Yes, sir. Though, if I may be so bold, if we're making a list of
places to explore, the depths of these caves might not be too bad of an idea.
7:26:45 PM LtCmdrBusard: Er...farther into the depths, at least.
7:26:57 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods:: I would tend to agree.
7:27:56 PM VAdm Blackthorne: One of the chronoton surges came
from beneath us.
7:28:35 PM TKirr: ::nods again, this time more recognizable::
7:28:45 PM LtCmdrBusard: Indeed, sir.
7:28:54 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::looks out the cave mouth to see
a faint sun rising, weakly casting its rays over the peaks and fog::
7:29:22 PM VAdm Blackthorne: I think the sun used to be bigger.
7:29:32 PM VAdm Blackthorne: T'Kirr, what's the time
differential?
7:29:56 PM TKirr: You mean it will be in the future? We are approximately three thousand
years before the last time.
7:30:21 PM MisterBoxingBear: Absolutely. However, if I may be so bold, I say we
should also make more of an effort to see the fun in all this. It may be chilly out there, but I'll
bet you all the latinum in Zekk's coffers that's a beautiful view out there.
7:30:27 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Look on the bright side, we're all
younger.
7:31:07 PM LtCmdrBusard: Sorry, sir. Doesn't work that way.
7:31:09 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::grabs his uniform jacket and
hands it to T'Kirr without pause:: I'm sure, Major.
7:31:26 PM TKirr: ::takes it and quickly wraps it about her
shoulders::
7:31:43 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::steps out to the cave mouth,
squinting against the wind::
7:32:01 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Safe bet, Doug.
7:32:53 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Slowly rises and steps to the cave mouth herself, looking out.::
7:33:09 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::takes in the view, fog settling
into valleys with peaks jutting out above them, the faint sun trying its best
to warm them::
7:33:24 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::I seem to recall Doug had his
jacket on after last time, so...::
If you don't need me for for that tunnel search immediately, request 5
minutes to go appreciate it better.
Given it won't be changing on us for another few hours.
7:33:59 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Anyone bring a camera?
7:34:40 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Pokes a few little buttons on her pen-ish thingie, and then aims
it at the pretty. It makes a camera-like click.::
7:35:00 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Why am I not surprised? ::smirks
and ducks back inside::
7:36:21 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::ensures the giant flowers full
of water aren't in danger of freezing, keeping them near the heated wall, and
takes a long drink::
7:36:22 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Silence is consent, and so Doug
silently trudges out through the snow to get a better view. He's no Shelev, but he does pretty darn
well in the cold::
7:37:20 PM MisterBoxingBear: ...I should totally add a few
skiing programs to my holodeck list when we get back.
7:37:29 PM TKirr: ::sits down near the wall, appearing grumpy,
for a Vulcan::
7:37:48 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Waits until McKnight's a little ways off and the others are
inside...before sneaking out in her jacket and starting to make a snow angel::
7:39:00 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::assembles some of the firewood
from two eras ago and lights it::
7:39:26 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::selects a tasty looking haunch
of monkey and skewers it above the fire::
7:39:41 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Now if only we had coffee.
7:39:50 PM TKirr: ::decidedly doesn't watch, instead favoring to
burrow into the jacket::
7:39:58 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Slides the sunglasses over his
eyes. Somewhat weaker glare is
still glare, and he'd feel like quite the jackass if he went out for a view,
then came back snow blind.::
7:40:36 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::sits down next to T'Kirr while
the monkey cooks:: It could be worse.
7:41:19 PM TKirr: ::muffled:: What could?
7:41:35 PM VAdm Blackthorne: There could be nothing to drink
but Andorian Jazz tea.
7:41:51 PM TKirr: ::pauses:: Fair point.
7:42:38 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Begins to realize that it really is pretty cold outside after
the third snow angel. Then goes back inside after the sixth.::
7:42:50 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::sees Busard covered in snow::
7:43:12 PM VAdm Blackthorne: (Hay Shelev)
7:43:22 PM cmdr shelev: (am i dead yet)
7:43:26 PM VAdm Blackthorne: (No, shush)
7:43:49 PM LtCmdrBusard: I...fell down?
7:44:28 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::smirks:: Repeatedly.
7:44:49 PM MisterBoxingBear: (They're on a snowy mountain
range. Shelev country.)
7:44:52 PM LtCmdrBusard: I'm clumsy.
7:45:01 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Breakfast will be up soon.
7:45:13 PM VAdm Blackthorne: No coffee, afraid to say.
7:46:10 PM cmdr shelev: :clint:
7:46:29 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Comes back in with a grin,
clapping Percy on the back and shaking snow off in the process:: Okay, but there'll be hell to pay if
you screw up my corned monkey hash.
7:46:56 PM VAdm Blackthorne: I'm looking for monkey stew
myself, with a side of monkey bacon.
7:47:23 PM MisterBoxingBear: It's been ages since I had a proper
monkey pot pie.
7:47:28 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Gives McKnight an odd look after finding herself back-clapped,
then settles down, takes off her jacket, and starts poking around at her
tricorder.::
7:47:44 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The chronoton readings
start to jump, tricorders go nuts!
7:48:03 PM LtCmdrBusard: (Where from?)
7:48:16 PM cmdr shelev: Where is the bus going now?
7:48:21 PM TKirr: ::pops out of the jacket expectantly::
7:48:32 PM VAdm Blackthorne: (Down)
7:48:49 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Sits down and helps himself to
some monkey.::
7:48:50 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Hopefully Risa, would that be too
much to ask?
7:49:05 PM LtCmdrBusard: (Thought so) ::Looks at her tricorder with a frown::
Yeah...definitely looks like we're gonna have to check further down the caves.
7:49:14 PM LtCmdrBusard: Risa WOULD be nice.
7:49:30 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> SHIMMER SHIMMER
SHWOPEDEDOOBOPAWOPBAMBOOM
7:49:47 PM MisterBoxingBear: At this point, I'd be happy with a
nice Scottish bog.
7:50:07 PM LtCmdrBusard: You would.
7:50:12 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> Our cave is intact, but
outside is a broken landscape. The sun is large in sky. Lava is shooting out of
the ground from various fissures.
7:50:42 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The air is almost
chokingly sulfuric, but breathable. It's almost 50C with a red sky and dark
looming clouds.
7:51:01 PM LtCmdrBusard: That...is not Risa.
7:51:06 PM TKirr: ::drops her jacket instantly and approaches
the entrance to investigate::
7:51:18 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::coughs at the harsh air and
squints out the door::
7:51:18 PM MisterBoxingBear: ...Right. Further down, you said?
7:51:28 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> A lava flow ambles past
the door, blocking it.
7:51:39 PM LtCmdrBusard: Why yes, I did. Shall we?
7:51:56 PM MisterBoxingBear: I assume that tricorder can map our
way back?
7:52:06 PM VAdm Blackthorne: As much as I don't like the option
of going down into a cave where lava is shooting out nearby...
7:52:21 PM TKirr: ::stares down at the lavaflow:: It appears we
have little choice.
7:52:21 PM VAdm Blackthorne: It's either that or out the door,
which is blocked by lava. Fairly easy choice.
7:52:37 PM cmdr shelev: ::Color is utterly drained from Shelev's
face, and he is at a lack for words.::
7:52:38 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Breakfast is cancelled. Carry what
water you can with us.
7:53:07 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Stands with tricorder, tying her jacket around her waist::
Right. Is it bad that I'm reminded of Dante's writings right now?
7:53:12 PM MisterBoxingBear: (Isn't the water all strung out on
a pole?_
7:53:17 PM MisterBoxingBear: )
7:53:23 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::coughs:: No, that's about it,
isn't it. Time differential, out of curiousity?
7:54:00 PM VAdm Blackthorne: (Improvise!)
7:54:22 PM TKirr: ::gulps after glancing at the scan:: Five
thousand, give or take?
7:54:36 PM TKirr: ::looks at Ian:: Future.
7:54:59 PM VAdm Blackthorne: This planet has some wild shif-
::sees Shelev:: Captain?
7:55:07 PM VAdm Blackthorne: You look like hell.
7:55:29 PM cmdr shelev: I'm... ah...
7:55:32 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::tugging at the damn uniform
collar::
7:55:34 PM cmdr shelev: Boiling.
7:56:34 PM TKirr: ::stands near the dark crevice with a water
bucket slung over her shoulder, looking back at the others, wondering what
they're waiting for::
7:56:39 PM cmdr shelev: ::Goes forth in a daze.::
7:56:54 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::grabs the clothesline stick and
skewers the flower again:: McKnight, grab that end.
7:57:19 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Shelev, hang in there, it'll shift
again soon I'm sure.
7:57:26 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Thinks a moment, cups his hands,
and splashes Shelev in the face before complying::
7:57:37 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::sweating profusely, but hey:
7:57:51 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Let's move.
7:58:02 PM cmdr shelev: ::Steams.::
7:58:16 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> We move out down the
tunnel, and at least we have those nifty wrist lights for when it gets dark.
7:58:33 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> Hooo boy it's a sauna
in here boy howdy.
7:59:09 PM TKirr: ::leads the way, clearly not sweating::
7:59:19 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Figures that shirtlessness right now is the least of her
worries, so in the interest of not dying of heat stroke, removes it and ties it
around her waist too::
7:59:26 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Presumably has every outer layer
possible tied about his body::
Does it get any cooler up ahead?
7:59:48 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::sees the de-shirting trend and
goes along with it, since that's what a Star Trek captain has to do::
8:00:20 PM LtCmdrBusard: Yeah...no, sorry.
8:00:23 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::ties his shirt around his waist,
splashes Shelev again, then moves out::
8:00:48 PM TKirr: ::follows the beeping like a dog with its
nose::
8:01:21 PM MisterBoxingBear: (A Star Trek Captain would TEAR his
shirt.)
8:01:26 PM MisterBoxingBear: (Okay, Archer was too lazy.)
8:01:30 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The tunnel keeps
descending, remarkably with very little in the way of forks.
8:01:41 PM LtCmdrBusard: (Archer is not a proper Star Trek Captain. I refuse)
8:01:44 PM VAdm Blackthorne: (I'm just remarking on the need to
go shirtless and sweaty, that's what a ST Captain does.)
8:02:08 PM MisterBoxingBear: Any indication of a power source?
8:02:31 PM LtCmdrBusard: Not yet, although the chronoton density readings are...pretty damn
high now, gotta say.
8:02:46 PM VAdm Blackthorne: This tunnel is remarkably free of
forks.
8:02:56 PM VAdm Blackthorne: No cave system is this straight,
naturally.
8:03:17 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Thinks for a moment:: Then maybe this isn't a cave system.
8:03:39 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> Back at the entrance,
our breakfast gets overcooked.
8:04:02 PM TKirr: Monkey> ::fizz::
8:04:25 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::pauses and takes a gulp of
water:: Any indications of refined metals?
8:04:41 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> It's almost 55C now.
8:05:10 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::sweating like crazy, but looking
damned ruggedly Star Trek captainy::
8:05:21 PM TKirr: Natural deposits of raw materials, but nothing
refined.
8:05:39 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Keep moving and keep yourselves
hydrated.
8:05:52 PM LtCmdrBusard: Aye, sir. ::Walk walk walk::
8:05:55 PM cmdr shelev: ::Starts to fall down.::
8:06:22 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::grabs Shelev:: C'mon, hang in
there.
8:07:48 PM MisterBoxingBear: Perhaps the only one of us who's
marginally comfortable right now can give him a hand.
8:08:17 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::pulls him to his feet and gives
him a shoulder:: Keep moving.
8:08:39 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Steals a couple handfuls of water
as he moves::
8:09:05 PM cmdr shelev: Why are we going down.
8:09:05 PM MisterBoxingBear: Never thought I'd be grateful for
all those pointless marches they put us through in boot camp.
8:09:12 PM cmdr shelev: Why are we in this handbasket?
8:09:17 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Because if we go up there's
nothing but lava.
8:09:35 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::T
8:10:07 PM VAdm Blackthorne: T'Kirr, help me with him.
8:10:30 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::blinks as his eyes go sweaty,
wipes them with his free hand::
8:10:48 PM TKirr: ::looks back, then sees the struggle::
8:11:08 PM TKirr: ::quickly rushes to Shelev's side and takes a
shoulder::
8:11:24 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::splashes Shelev's face again::
8:11:31 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::then takes a handful of water
for himself::
8:11:54 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> We go dowwwwwwwwn.
8:11:59 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Looks back, eyes going wide, before walking quicker, and then
with a look at her tricorder:: Holy crap!
8:12:14 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Tell me there's a freezer ahead.
8:12:24 PM TKirr: ::practically carrying Shelev's weight now,
letting Percy do the scanning::
8:12:32 PM LtCmdrBusard: If by "freezer" you mean MASSIVE power source, then YES.
8:12:35 PM LtCmdrBusard: Up ahead.
8:13:00 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::nods tiredly:: Let's get to it.
8:13:18 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The temperature is
approaching 60C.
8:13:31 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Walks slightly more speedily towards the power source::
8:13:47 PM cmdr shelev: ::Just getting dragged along at this
point.::
8:13:52 PM TKirr: ::starts panting::
8:14:10 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::wipes his face off again and
takes another gulp of water, brow furrowed in determination::
8:14:15 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Picks up the pace. The sooner he can rest and cool down
even the least little bit, the happier he'll be.::
8:15:05 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Grunts angrily as his own brow
sweat stings his eyes:: If there's
someone operating this thing, I'm shooting them.
8:15:07 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> A cavern can be
detected ahead, with massive power output and dense chronoton readings.
8:15:15 PM VAdm Blackthorne: I'm too tired to stop you.
8:15:28 PM LtCmdrBusard: I'll help.
8:15:45 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Approaches the cavern::
8:16:02 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Stops and lays the water
container down...assuming you can do that.::
8:16:11 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> We arrive in a giant
cavern...
8:16:36 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Levels his rifle and scans the
area in front of them::
8:16:40 PM TKirr: ::lets Shelev collapse on the ground, gazing
around the cavern and flipping open her tricorder::
8:16:52 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The cavern is filled
with a reactor of some sort that is clearly not healthy. A yellow pulsating
light surges intensely and then faintly fades away from its center.
8:17:04 PM cmdr shelev: ::ZZZ::
8:17:25 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> There are odd coils and
hoses and all sorts of interesting gadgets protruding, but it's making a
godawfully sick machine sound.
8:17:53 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::after Shelev is put down, his
legs basically give out and he sits hard, looking at the machine: What is that.
8:17:59 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Eyes go wide in a more happy way, and she only barely stops
herself from going "Eeeenteresting"::
8:18:20 PM LtCmdrBusard: Good question, sir. ::Approaches the machine and takes a closer
look::
8:18:26 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The reactor is easily
fifty meters high, with gantry platforms and stairways.
8:18:42 PM TKirr: ::reads over the scan results again, not
recognizing much, and just gazes up at it again with intense curiosity::
8:20:25 PM TKirr: ::panting heavily, follows Busard::
8:20:59 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::wills himself to his feet, gulps
some more water, and examines the machine::
8:21:04 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Looks at Shelev as he fails to
spot a valid target and sinks to the ground:: Finding controls to get us out of this shift would be pretty
sweet.
8:21:14 PM cmdr shelev: ::zzz::
8:21:37 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Because I presume 60 C is pretty
damn hot, since Jason's a damn metric using commie::
8:21:46 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Takes a moment to look at the inner workings of the thing,
before taking something out of her toolbelt that looks remarkably like a Sonic
Screwdriver::
8:21:48 PM TKirr: (140)
8:21:52 PM MisterBoxingBear: (Shit.)
8:22:19 PM VAdm Blackthorne: (Metric > You)
8:22:41 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Then practically jumps into the reactor.::
8:22:44 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Busard. ::panting::
8:22:55 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Can you fi- I guess so.
8:23:23 PM TKirr: ::stands just inside, peering after Busard::
8:23:39 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Clink clink plink whirr::
8:24:00 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::makes his way to where T'Kirr is
and tries to make out what's going on in there::
8:24:26 PM TKirr: ::turns and notes Ian's terrible condition::
8:24:34 PM LtCmdrBusard: (You lie. He's just going over there to try and make out.)
8:24:53 PM cmdr shelev: ::...::
8:24:54 PM VAdm Blackthorne: (That requires energy!)
8:24:56 PM TKirr: (Yeah 'cause dying of heat stroke is a total
turn on)
8:25:12 PM LtCmdrBusard: (Totally)
8:25:41 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::whiz pop bzzt:: Son of a bitch! ::whiiirrr::
8:26:02 PM VAdm Blackthorne: I'm glad she can think straight to
work on this thing...
8:26:15 PM TKirr: ::peers in again:: Can I help?
8:26:19 PM cmdr shelev: ((how could you tell?))
8:27:14 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Just looks over with raised
eyebrows, impressed that anyone can work in this heat. Struggling to his feet, he takes
several large gulps of water before going over to keep the Andorian moist::
8:27:50 PM LtCmdrBusard: Sure. ::gestures her forward:: There's a couple circuits that've
been knocked loose in the main breaker. Could you just hold these two panels
::She indicates a couple of panels of circuitry
8:28:16 PM TKirr: ::steps forward and pushes on the panels::
8:28:23 PM LtCmdrBusard: a few feet off the ground:: steady? It's a bitch trying to fuse
them and hold them at the same time-oh thanks.
8:28:38 PM TKirr: ::has sonic envy::
8:28:38 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::the engineer in him just won't
turn off as he ambles forward to try to make heads or tails of this::
8:29:58 PM TKirr: ::looks at Ian sympathetically:: It's hotter
in here...
8:31:18 PM VAdm Blackthorne: When it's already this hot, what's
a couple more degrees?
8:31:28 PM TKirr: ::perks an eyebrow::
8:31:39 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::wipes some major sweat from her eyes, but seems too sucked into
the machinery's workings to realize that she's dehydrating.:: Right, so
theoretically, if I realign these circuits so the current moves through both of
them...
8:32:00 PM LtCmdrBusard: ...Then something should happen! ::Realigns said circuits::
8:32:29 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> Power surges into the
reactor and it starts to hum, louder and louder.
8:33:00 PM LtCmdrBusard: Right. Now we should pray that I didn't just make it explode.
8:33:04 PM MisterBoxingBear: (Goddam cat.)
8:33:11 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ((She plugged it in.))
8:33:22 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::looks around:: Maybe we should
get outside...
8:33:54 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Quirks an eyebrow:: Outside into the lava?
8:34:12 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Just out of the reactor.
::speaking slowly, and moving rather slowly too:::
8:34:26 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION>
brrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
8:34:44 PM TKirr: ::drops the circuit boards and starts to
move::
8:34:58 PM MisterBoxingBear: ::Looks at the reactor lazily::
8:34:58 PM LtCmdrBusard: Ah, yes. Running time! ::Runs out of the reactor::
8:35:28 PM TKirr: ::skids to a halt next to Shelev and looks
back::
8:35:39 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::makes it out and turns to see
what the hell Percy just did::
8:35:42 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> A giant surge of
chronotons and be registered, but this time, being pulled into the reactor.
8:35:58 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Looks at her tricorder:: Well, this COULD be good...
8:36:03 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The reactor surges
healthily, outputting yellow light in regular pulses.
8:36:29 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> The chronotons stop,
the reactor flashes and goes :toot: and we all shimmer again.
8:37:21 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::fumbles about in his shirt for
his commbadge:: +tap+ Blackthorne to Atlantis!
8:37:34 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::prays to whoever might listen
for a brief moment::
8:37:45 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Harper> +Blackthorne+ Altantis here, Admiral.
8:37:49 PM LtCmdrBusard: WOOOO!
8:37:56 PM VAdm Blackthorne: +Harper+ Five to beam up, directly
to sickbay!
8:38:08 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Tries to put her shirt back on in time::
8:38:10 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ACTION> Transporter shimmer.
8:38:14 PM VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
8:38:15 PM VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
8:38:16 PM VAdm Blackthorne: PAUSE SIM
8:38:40 PM TKirr: ::pauses::
8:38:54 PM cmdr shelev: ::Status: KO::
8:38:55 PM LtCmdrBusard: ::Le pause::
8:39:16 PM VAdm Blackthorne: ::tosses a phoenix down on
Shelev::
8:39:31 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Well we made it back, albiet
shirtless.
8:39:46 PM LtCmdrBusard: Aw damnit.
8:39:48 PM TKirr: I've still got my shirt. >_>
8:40:00 PM VAdm Blackthorne: It's sickbay, they're doctors.
8:40:24 PM TKirr: Yeah, but you aren't
8:40:46 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Can't see anything through the
sweat!
8:41:08 PM LtCmdrBusard: So...next time, party with pizza and beer, right?
8:41:21 PM cmdr shelev: BTW, this was the last sim for Shelev
for the forseeable future - it's been a jolly grand time but I don't think the
last year has been my best work.
8:41:34 PM LtCmdrBusard: Aw, booo!
8:41:44 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Yeah, we're losing our blue guy.
:(
8:42:04 PM EnsRedshirt299: Shelev...I hardly knew ya!
8:42:05 PM LtCmdrBusard: *ahem* I shall reitorate:
8:42:09 PM LtCmdrBusard: BOOOO!!!
8:42:12 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Thank you for the past three
years, Mr. Shelev.
8:42:31 PM TKirr: Thanks, Andorian, sorry to see you go.
8:42:40 PM LtCmdrBusard: Dude, you were awesome.
8:42:47 PM VAdm Blackthorne: You've made wonderful
contributions to this ship and her stories.
8:42:53 PM TKirr: Sure did
8:43:16 PM cmdr shelev: Shelev is going to have to be frozen at
starfleet medical after this.
8:43:28 PM VAdm Blackthorne: So he's not dead!!!! ::cackles::
8:43:35 PM cmdr shelev: Plus I'm kind of dried out story-wise.
8:43:42 PM cmdr shelev: We'll see what the future holds.
8:44:02 PM LtCmdrBusard: Oh, don't worry. Someone will draw a kooky face on the ice anyway.
Hope you come back eventually :-/
8:44:12 PM VAdm Blackthorne: The lesson in this folks, is that
if you have a pet Andorian, to not leave them in a parked car. :(
8:44:26 PM cmdr shelev: IT WAS 60 FUCKING C
8:44:41 PM TKirr: No wonder he's leaving.
8:44:43 PM LtCmdrBusard: Well crap.
8:44:46 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Speaking of pizza and beer, this
week is Atlantis's 11th anniversary.
8:44:57 PM MisterBoxingBear: Sorry, had to dash out for a
second. But I shall throw in
another round of sorry to see you go.
8:45:05 PM TKirr: Has it been that long already?
8:45:09 PM MisterBoxingBear: Honestly, the Andorian graveyard
stuff? Gold.
8:45:22 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Yep, 11 years of this!
8:45:27 PM cmdr shelev: That was where I jumped the shark.
8:45:31 PM VAdm Blackthorne: The Andorian grave robbery was one
of my favorite plots ever.
8:45:44 PM MisterBoxingBear: Yeah, but see, I'd show up to see
you jump the shark.
8:45:53 PM MisterBoxingBear: I mean...you'd actually have Shelev
jump a shark.
8:45:58 PM TKirr: You just like loaning me out in exchange for
tools. >_>
8:46:02 PM LtCmdrBusard: With chainmail?
8:46:03 PM cmdr shelev: How do you think they'll wake him up?
8:46:14 PM MisterBoxingBear: Possibly, if it was funny.
8:46:21 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Promises for the future!
8:47:35 PM LtCmdrBusard: I think they should use a jackhammer, personally.
8:47:35 PM VAdm Blackthorne: For log purposes, no time elapsed
on Atlantis itself. From Harper's point of view, we just beamed down.
8:48:17 PM TKirr: Okay.
With that, I've gotta sleep. =/ See you next week, if I don't log with
ya.
8:48:33 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Everyone has something to write
about!
8:48:52 PM cmdr shelev: Okie doke, I'll see you around; this
screenname isn't going anywhere.
8:48:58 PM cmdr shelev: I forget it's logged in half the time
8:49:24 PM MisterBoxingBear: Good, good. I might IM you for advice from time to
time.
8:49:38 PM MisterBoxingBear: What with the comic relief vacuum,
McKnight's gonna have to step up the jackassery.
8:50:07 PM MisterBoxingBear: In between bouts of toxic anger, I
mean.
8:50:08 PM cmdr shelev: ta-ta, I'm going back to xbox live to be
called a faggot and a nigger.
8:50:18 PM MisterBoxingBear: Fun! Night.
8:50:19 PM LtCmdrBusard: Oh, fun.
8:50:21 PM LtCmdrBusard: G'night.
8:50:29 PM VAdm Blackthorne: That about sums it up!
8:50:49 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Night folks. :)
8:51:16 PM EnsRedshirt299: Thanks for letting me watch!
8:51:56 PM VAdm Blackthorne: We like having an audience!
8:52:07 PM LtCmdrBusard: Verily.
8:52:44 PM EnsRedshirt299: Great, maybe next week we can color
our hair together... ;-)
8:53:22 PM LtCmdrBusard: ...Alright, I declare Redshirt awesome.
8:54:38 PM EnsRedshirt299: Hehe laters!
9:01:16 PM VAdm Blackthorne: I think she's gonna join!
9:01:30 PM LtCmdrBusard: WOO!
9:01:38 PM LtCmdrBusard: She should play Puddington.
9:01:40 PM LtCmdrBusard: I MEAN.
9:02:01 PM VAdm Blackthorne: No we need a doctor so I can hurt
the cr- er, to keep us healthy.
9:02:22 PM MisterBoxingBear: Well, I'm out. Night.
9:02:27 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Night :)
9:02:29 PM LtCmdrBusard: Later.
9:02:56 PM LtCmdrBusard: Same for me, I think.
9:03:01 PM LtCmdrBusard: Later.
9:03:06 PM VAdm Blackthorne: Later!
