(9:08:38 PM) VAdmBlackthorne has changed the topic to: The effects of the gamma ray burst on the crew have been harsh; we've lost the ability to multitask, focusing on one thing or aspect of our duties above all others. We orbit at a dangerously close one AU.
(9:08:47 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Questions?
(9:08:53 PM) LtCmdrBusard: (He's coming. Was grabbing some food)
(9:09:59 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Yell at him to see if he has questions!

(9:11:31 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: :: staring at the bright viewscreen :: Tav! How are those readings!?
(9:11:41 PM) ColDougMcKnight: ::McKnight, as I recall, had just snapped out of his last fixation, only to hear:: 1 AU? Harper, what the hell are you doing?
(9:11:57 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: continues to scan the gamma ray burst with increasing intensity. As he turns up the sensors and their intensity, there is the beginning of a whine in his conole. :: Sir, I think I can make it ten percent clearer. Stand by!
(9:12:13 PM) CdrHarper: What I am told to do, Colonel. One AU.
(9:12:29 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: watches Kate working her hands over the console ::
(9:12:46 PM) ColDougMcKnight: That's way too close for long-term safety! And even that's being optimistic about it! Back us the hell off!
(9:13:30 PM) CdrTKirr: :: finds the Colonel's language quite inappropriate and decides to tell him so ::
(9:13:39 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: runs his hands across the controls :: Captain, if we could just get closer, I can really clear things up! Maybe another thirty-five percent!
(9:13:55 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Belay that order, Commander.
(9:14:00 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Closer....
(9:14:18 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Taps furiously away at her console, removing power from another non-vital system to boost the shields:: Still not enough! Rrgh. Food. No one needs to eat JUST now, can live without it for a couple hours. Except maybe in Sick Bay? :: Turns to Carre, one hand still typing away:: Do they need food in Sickbay?
(9:14:32 PM) CdrHarper: :: continues flying the precise orbit, as exactly defined in the highlight she wrote ::
(9:14:56 PM) LtCmdrBusard: (Nice highlight, by the way. Very crazy.)
(9:15:04 PM) ColDougMcKnight: ::Grits his teeth, and deciding there's no other option left, draws his phase pistol.:: Belay nothing! The Admiral is obviously being affected by...something. I don't know. But you're putting this ship and crew in imminent peril. I won't ask you again. Back us off!
(9:15:06 PM) CdrHarper: (Thanks!)
(9:15:10 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: No, but keep the sani-fields up. No need letting all my germs out~
(9:15:37 PM) CdrHarper: I have my orders, Colonel. One AU. One AU. One AU.
(9:15:51 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Take us to 0.75 AU.
(9:15:52 PM) ColDougMcKnight: And I have my job. I'm sorry.
(9:16:17 PM) ColDougMcKnight: :: Without further preamble, he pulls the trigger, blasting Harper's back on stun before she can input that last order.::
(9:16:50 PM) CdrHarper: :: snaps upright, eyes wide with surprise, before she slumps and slides unceremoniously to the floor ::
(9:16:59 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: hands flying ever faster across his console, Tav attempts to clear up his readings. Deciding that's not enough, Jorvan bends down within his open console once again :: Does anyone have a screwdriver? I need a hyperbaric spanner!
(9:17:03 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Colonel McKnight!
(9:17:19 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: blinks as Kate falls to the floor, moves up to check her status :: Kate!
(9:17:39 PM) CdrHarper: :: drools on Roxy's shoe ::
(9:17:59 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Sorry sir, but you're obviously not yourself. Consider yourself relieved of duty, effective immediately. ::As he says this, he circles around to the helm console, keeping his phaser ready. ::
(9:18:51 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Computer, lock all helm control to Vice Admiral Ian Blackthorne, authorization Blackthorne gamma pi tau two three.
(9:19:07 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: noticing none of the commotion on the bridge, switches two wires in the console :: THERE! Captain, I've made it forty-five percent clearer!
(9:19:13 PM) ColDougMcKnight: :: Eyes widening in alarm, he springs for the console, trying to get the ship backed off before that can take effect. ::
(9:19:17 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Right. No food. Wait, what? Screwdriver? Sorry, my screwdriver's mine. No touching. No time! Need more shields. Where next?
(9:19:58 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: :: recieves the reply from the computer :: Make that all command-level essential ship functions, to my authorization only.
(9:20:07 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: whips out her trusty tricorder to examine Kate, it starts whining REALLY loud :: Uh oh! We're getting WAY too much radiation at this location!
(9:20:12 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Science will not be interfered with.
(9:21:26 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Commander Busard, we need more power to the shields so we can get closer.
(9:21:35 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Trying! Trying!
(9:21:59 PM) CdrTKirr: :: approaches McKnight, finding the conduct of a member of personnel completely inappropriate, her voice harsh but quiet :: Colonel, there is no need for violence on the Bridge. And beyond that, you apparently need lessons in proper language.
(9:22:04 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: hypos Kate with radiation blocking drugs, then hypos herself ::
(9:22:04 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: unfolds himself from the interior of the console and lifts his six-foot-five frame back to his seat :: Alright, Captain. I've increased the sensor accuracy and strength beyond maximum capacity. But can we get closer? If we move in and to port, I can get clearer readings!
(9:22:20 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Excellent work, lieutenant. We'll be moving in shortly.
(9:22:42 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Cuts power to all functions inside personal quarters:: Can read a book! Don't need anything else. Also, flashlights. Shields! Up by fifteen percent.
(9:22:47 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: NO! Its already hazardous. No closer!!!
(9:23:47 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: works over Kate noting an excess of activity in her thymus, gives her a hypo to regulate that ::
(9:23:49 PM) ColDougMcKnight: ::McKnight's reply is considerably more direct than T'Kirr's urbane approach. He roughly shoves her aside, surging forward to deliver his best right cross to Blackthorne's face:: You fucked us! You stupid son of a bitch! You just fucked us!
(9:23:52 PM) LtJorvanTav: Captain! If we don't get closer, we'll miss readings that have never been seen before! :: his hands continue flying across the console ::
(9:24:11 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Jorvan, SHUT UP!
(9:24:23 PM) LtCmdrBusard: More shields, more shields!
(9:24:24 PM) CdrTKirr: :: stumbles, regains her footing, looking on in shock ::
(9:25:06 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Ooh! Hey, won't be using warp any time soon. Can shut down that. Useless really. Shields!
(9:25:15 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Tappity tap tap::
(9:25:17 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: :: recoils from the cross, hand to his jaw ::
(9:25:46 PM) CdrTKirr: :: approaches McKnight from behind and, assuming he doesn't have an armored collar on the Bridge, delivers a nasty pinch ::

(9:26:14 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Computer, alter course, orbital transfer trajectory to 0.75 AU radius.
(9:26:30 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: notes everyone looking at the screen, is enraptured *whispers* :: Hey Percy, we dont need that viewscreen, its got to be pulling a LOT of power.
(9:27:08 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Ooh! True! Silly really. Don't need big stupid screen to show us what's there. Off we go!
(9:27:12 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Tappity tap tap::
(9:27:28 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Shields! Up by ten more percent.
(9:27:33 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: attempts to increase power to the sensors, and his console lets out some sparks and goes black. Seeing this, Tav bolts from his station, dashes past Blackthorne, over the Captain's chair, over and falls face first. Picking himself up, he continues his work on a science console at the back of the bridge and increases power to the sensors ::
(9:27:36 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Good job, Commander Busard!

(9:28:20 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Doesn't seem to realize that there's anyone else in the room::

(9:30:00 PM) Rubix: ....Whirr beep? o.O

(9:30:17 PM) ColDougMcKnight: ::His eyes widen abruptly, and the last thought he has before collapsing is to curse himself for focusing on Blackthorne when the ship is FULL of deranged idiots trying to get them killed:: Fuck...fuck you.

(9:54:50 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Take your station, Colonel, some of us have regained our senses.
(9:54:53 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Hold on Col, it looks like the bots have the solution, thanks to you.
(9:55:00 PM) CdrTKirr: :: wonders why it's so hard to concentrate on Cubit, all the noise around her, but follows his path and watches him zap people, unhearing McKnight or Blackthorne ::
(9:55:23 PM) Cubit: :: zaps Jorvan again on his way by ::
(9:55:36 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Lt. Tav, I need a time on that supernova!
(9:55:38 PM) ColDougMcKnight: :: Eyes lock onto T'Kirr as his lips curve into a grin. :: Grammar bitch. Perfect.
(9:55:41 PM) Rubix: :: makes a "CRAP!" Whirr and sets her tazer to knock out levels, and tazes McKnight again.::
(9:55:41 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: barely feels the zap this time ::
(9:55:55 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Gah! Fuck, fuck fuck, hate you all, fuck!
(9:56:15 PM) LtJorvanTav: Sir, we have about thirty-eight seconds before it blows! This is incredible! So... incredible!
(9:56:22 PM) Cubit: :: boosts his zap setting and hits Jorvan again ::
(9:56:24 PM) ColDougMcKnight: :: THUD ::
(9:57:09 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: absentmindedly kicks Cubit across the bridge and continues his scans ::
(9:57:16 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Commander Busard, the helm controls are still not responding. We need warp power in thirty seconds or we're all dead!
(9:57:39 PM) LtJorvanTav: Sir! The readings we'll get from here as it blows! I can't wait!
(9:57:42 PM) LtCmdrBusard: It should be working! I don't know what's...oh motherfucker, REALLY?
(9:57:44 PM) Cubit: :: beeps the weeee-beep, followed by the ow-beep ::
(9:58:03 PM) CdrHarper: :: tries to get power, fingers flying across the console as she really starts to wake up with the prospect of her life being about twenty seconds long ::
(9:58:11 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Turns power on to the "Helm warp control panel"::
(9:58:13 PM) LtCmdrBusard: There.
(9:58:25 PM) CdrHarper: :: slams the OMFG GO button ::
(9:58:32 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Chaka> ::Grabs another chair and brandishes it with purpose.:: Come on, hat bigot! Try that pounce now. I'll give you a preview of what you Leathernecks have in store at the next department vs. department Lost Harbor game.
(9:58:34 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Sorry, like turning on the fuze box and forgetting to connect the goddamn switch.
(9:59:02 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: snags the phaser gun that the Col was waving about and stuns Jorvan :: Dont kick my 'bot!
(9:59:10 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: ACTION> The star shudders one more time and then explodes behind us, but fortunately its shockwave only travels about 0.1c.
(9:59:28 PM) Rubix: :: Jumps up over to Tav, looking him up and down before...Carre shoots at him.::
(9:59:36 PM) LtJorvanTav: Sir, the radiation output is increasing at a rate of fifty percent per seco :: falls to the floor ::
(9:59:39 PM) LtKuari: :: doesn't like the chair at all, follows it with her slowly slitting eyes ::
(10:00:32 PM) ColDougMcKnight: :: Eyes remaining locked with hers, he raises his voice just a little more. ::
(10:00:37 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: ACTION> The source of the radiation is gone, but the effects will linger until it has cleared, or sufficient zappage has taken place. Varies based on species, natch.
(10:00:50 PM) ColDougMcKnight: (^Chaka)
(10:01:09 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: looks around to see if anyone else needs a nice stun as she finds it rather cathartic ::
(10:01:20 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Chaka> Hey, Jack. Was I the only one who noticed how she wasn't even drinking anything?
(10:01:22 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Winces::
(10:01:45 PM) LtKuari: :: has a moment of clarity and wonders where her phaser has gone, looks around ::
(10:01:45 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> Look at all my lost liquor... It'll take years to rebuild this collection.
(10:02:06 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Doctor Carre.
(10:02:07 PM) Cubit: :: beeps gleefully then nah nah pbbbt's ::
(10:02:21 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: How do we get everyone back to normal now that we're away from the problem?
(10:02:23 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Yes Captain?
(10:02:36 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Hey, phasing them works for me!
(10:02:45 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Preferably without that.
(10:02:46 PM) Rubix: :: Jumps over for a high five to the Cubit!::
(10:02:50 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: twitches ::
(10:02:52 PM) CdrTKirr: :: follows Cubit as he's kicked across the floor and otherwise, now looking straight down at him :: I can't understand you... try again, please?
(10:02:55 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: :: hand to his head, a headache coming on ::
(10:03:34 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: sighs :: We need to send some sort of shock through the ship. Phasers would be much more fun.
(10:03:43 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Chaka> Because Puff the Magic Dragon stopped by just buzz killing, booze breaking, and gratuitous assault on fashion!
(10:03:52 PM) ColDougMcKnight: (just FOR)
(10:04:39 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: begins rolling his head around ::
(10:04:44 PM) LtKuari: :: can't find her gun, but really doesn't like the chair, so keeps her distance and stands, angry and flapping bits of dragon blood on customers ::
(10:05:27 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Chaka> ...you know, I actually just thought of an awesome name for a drink.
(10:05:31 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: I need a suggestion other than going around shooting my crew.
(10:05:32 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Maybe Percy can think of a way to divert all that sheild energy to some sort of electrical shock at whatever level the 'bots zappers on high are at?
(10:05:35 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> A drink?
(10:05:40 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> I can get you a drink.
(10:06:02 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Um...Dr's Orders? :: grins wickedly ::
(10:06:09 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: rolls on his side into a fetal position, with his eyes fluttering ::
(10:06:12 PM) CdrHarper: :: has a headache, worse than Blackthorne's ::
(10:06:32 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Chaka> Yeah, I want a drink. Something with rum...no, whiskey...no, vodka...no, all of the above. And fruit punch. Dragon Blood.
(10:06:44 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: hypos herself, twice :: Who has a headache?
(10:06:52 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> :: starts scavenging for unbroken bottles of the mentioned boozes ::
(10:06:59 PM) LtJorvanTav: Mmmf... Uhh... Urng...
(10:07:04 PM) LtCmdrBusard: ...:: Sadly:: Shields....:: Sighs :: Okay. I'm going to have to send a pulse throughout the entirety of the ship, so...we need a little insulation? Just in case we all fall unconscious, and then die from star explosion.
(10:07:12 PM) CdrHarper: Right here, Rox.
(10:08:02 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: The shockwave can't catch us at warp nine, at least.
(10:08:28 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: tries not to snicker at the painful sounds coming from Jorvan, as she moves over to hypo Kate :: That should help.
(10:08:45 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: And yes, I have a headache.
(10:08:51 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: :: looks around for T'Kirr ::
(10:09:18 PM) CdrTKirr: (Tav and I listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEhVRy4HF8E works well for this plot lol )

(10:10:27 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Unghh...alright, someone's got a dropkick to the CPU coming their way.
(10:10:32 PM) CdrTKirr: :: kneels down to get a closer look at Cubit ::
(10:10:50 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Those little robots just saved our collective asses.
(10:11:30 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> :: raises a glass triumphantly, having mixed all of the above :: Dragon Blood!
(10:11:30 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: moves over and hypos the captain, then the Col, pretty much ignores Jorvan ::
(10:11:47 PM) LtCmdrBusard: ...Okay, good point. Alright, moving power now. Prepare for shock in one minute...first I'll make sure there's a protective shield around the med bay. :: Forms a shield to protect anyone with compromised physical/heart health in Med Bay, and then builds up electricity around all the shield walls::
(10:11:50 PM) ColDougMcKnight: I seem to recall we had the same general idea, and I had it first. Goddammit, my head!
(10:12:04 PM) CdrHarper: YOUR head? :: snorts ::
(10:12:08 PM) Rubix: .....:: Runs away from McKnight and hides::
(10:12:27 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Hows your head Percy?
(10:12:37 PM) LtCmdrBusard: ...Buzzy?
(10:12:56 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: hypos Percy too ::
(10:13:14 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: :: finds T'Kirr and sees her fixated on Cubit, gives her a telepathic prod ::
(10:13:22 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: sits upright and takes his neck in his hands :: Unnnnnnmm... Doc... tor...
(10:13:29 PM) ColDougMcKnight: How many times did YOU get cheap shotted in the last five minutes?
(10:13:34 PM) LtKuari: :: chances a poke at Cubit :: Speak again. I'll understand if you keep talk... :: looks up, confused ::
(10:13:36 PM) Cubit: :: follows Rubix, faking a limp ::
(10:13:51 PM) LtKuari: (Damn it.)
(10:14:05 PM) LtCmdrBusard: ...Ahh, that's better. Also, might want to get out of the way. I need something to set off the reaction, and I suspect...:: She draws her phaser:: This might do just the trick.
(10:14:25 PM) CdrHarper: How many times did you get shot in the last ten?
(10:14:26 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: You here t'kirr or do we need to um...get your attention?
(10:14:39 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: :: prods at her again ::
(10:14:43 PM) CdrTKirr: :: lets Cubit walk away, the robot forgotten, as she looks around the Bridge, unable to locate her new focus ::
(10:15:04 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: rises to his knees for a moment, then stands upright. Well, a very hunched-over upright :: Doctor, do you... have anything... for the pain of... being shot?
(10:15:13 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Yes.

(10:15:46 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> :: hands him the glass with pride ::
(10:15:46 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Cubit, Rubix T'kirr needs a little of your 'TLC'.
(10:16:23 PM) Rubix: :: Removes herself from her hiding place and points to T'Kirr as she slowly approaches:: ...Beep beep bzzt?
(10:16:58 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Chaka> ::Takes a deep sip of the glass, leaning against the bar as he contemplates the experience. Finally, he nods. :: Yep, too drunk to taste anything. I declare it a sucess!

(10:42:04 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: sighs, Medi-scans him, hypos again :: There.
(10:42:44 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Oh...and it's fine, Commander. I'm glad you managed it before I put a hole in the bulkhead.
(10:42:49 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: feeling much better :: Ah. Thank you, doctor. And... I do apologize for kicking your bots.
(10:43:03 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Let's hope not. Commander Harper, set a course for Refuge.
(10:43:04 PM) ColDougMcKnight: ::Thinks:: ...but I AM having padding for that nerve put into all my uniforms.
(10:43:06 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Anyone else need anything, I'm pretty sure I have some work waiting for me.
(10:43:17 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Let's take our time. Warp Four.
(10:43:29 PM) CdrHarper: Course laid in and ready, Admiral.
(10:43:32 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Pats Rubix on the head as she hops up on her lap:: That'll do, bot. That'll do.
(10:43:40 PM) CdrTKirr: :: arches eyebrow at McKnight ::
(10:44:02 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: (Shrek reference!)
(10:44:09 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Execute.
(10:44:11 PM) LtCmdrBusard: (...Wrong)
(10:44:19 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: (Babe reference)
(10:44:20 PM) LtCmdrBusard: ( BABE reference)
(10:44:29 PM) CdrHarper: ACTION> Atlantis warps off into the black.
(10:44:30 PM) LtCmdrBusard: (And Carre gets the cookie!)
(10:44:34 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE SIM
(10:44:36 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE SIM
(10:44:37 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE SIM
(10:44:39 PM) CdrTKirr: :: pauses ::
(10:44:41 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: PAUSES::
(10:44:45 PM) LtJorvanTav: :: pauses ::
(10:44:46 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: (does cookies dance)
(10:44:52 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: pauses ::
(10:44:59 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Wow, very nicely done everyone!
(10:45:07 PM) LtKuari: :: falls back asleep, foregoing chocolate for the evening ::
(10:45:11 PM) LtKuari left the room.
(10:45:12 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: I admit I was somewhat skeptical about running a plot I literally dreamed up.
(10:45:23 PM) LtCmdrBusard: It was fun!
(10:45:32 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: I'm glad it was so well received. :)
(10:45:37 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Also, people got electrocuted. Good indication of fun.
(10:45:40 PM) CdrTKirr: Me, too. ^_^
(10:45:48 PM) LtJorvanTav: And phaser shot.
(10:45:52 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Indeed!
(10:45:53 PM) LtCmdrBusard: And nerve pinched.
(10:45:59 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: *giggles*
(10:45:59 PM) LtJorvanTav: And punched
(10:46:06 PM) CdrTKirr: I say the solution should have been sonic in nature, though.
(10:46:10 PM) LtCmdrBusard: And flung into bar cabinets!
(10:46:20 PM) LtCmdrBusard: ...Look, I can only use my screwdriver SO often...:-P
(10:46:24 PM) CdrTKirr: Ouch... glass.
(10:46:28 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Electrocution is MUCH more fun.
(10:46:41 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Plus, the electricity probably made a noise. So, sonic!
(10:46:44 PM) LtJorvanTav: And electrocuted multiple times... And THEN shot...
(10:46:53 PM) CdrTKirr: Hm, good point.
(10:46:58 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Whiner!
(10:46:58 PM) LtJorvanTav: And then ignored by the doctor...
(10:47:00 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :D
(10:47:06 PM) CdrTKirr: Sonic AND laser, oh my
(10:47:12 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Dude, dont touch my BOT!
(10:47:14 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Dun dun dun!
(10:47:24 PM) LtJorvanTav: That just sounds so wrong...
(10:47:30 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Yeah, really, don't cross Carre...
(10:47:39 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Yeah, the record of what's happened to people who try to hurt Cubit is...not good.
(10:47:51 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: S'true. I can make your life kinda miserable.
(10:47:53 PM) LtCmdrBusard: For instance, the last person who did was shot through the chest.
(10:48:07 PM) LtCmdrBusard: And that, too.
(10:48:08 PM) LtJorvanTav: Eek. I feel lucky now.
(10:48:20 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Well, he was also a Klingon invader.
(10:48:26 PM) LtCmdrBusard: So there's that.
(10:48:31 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Those little bots are getting medals!
(10:48:38 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: YAY!
(10:48:39 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Yay!
(10:48:47 PM) Rubix: Beebeep!
(10:48:49 PM) Cubit: *beeps with glee*
(10:49:16 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Just don't make them magnetic, or they'll start singing folk tunes.
(10:49:33 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Hahaha
(10:49:46 PM) Cubit: *beeps night night*
(10:50:02 PM) CdrTKirr: Speaking of messing with sound... off to watch episode: "Midnight" before bed. The guy living with us hasn't seen it yet. =X
(10:50:14 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Sweeet.

(10:50:34 PM) CdrTKirr: And yes, Percy, I have a list of insults to Kuari, too. >_> Not good...
(10:50:46 PM) LtCmdrBusard: Whuh oh...
(10:51:07 PM) LtCmdrBusard: :: Hides under the bed::
(10:51:12 PM) Rubix left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
