(21:02:20) LtWright: hihi Jason
(21:02:34) VAdmBlackthorne: Hiya folks
(21:02:50) CdrTKirr: Woo lookit all the peoples
(21:03:35) LtWright: :: looks around warily ::
(21:03:41) VAdmBlackthorne: Yeah, how about that.
(21:03:41) CdrTKirr: I just finished this in Blender, happy how it came out http://tkirr.deviantart.com/art/ToE-Cover-Art-Book-428807754
(21:04:03) ColDougMcKnight: Hey. Sorry about missing last week. There was a bit of an emergency that day, and honestly forgot what day it was.
(21:04:18) VAdmBlackthorne: That's really well done Liz
(21:04:25) DoctorTav: :)
(21:04:30) VAdmBlackthorne: Almost photorealistic
(21:04:54) LtWright: I thought it was a photo at first glance
(21:05:07) LtWright: and second
(21:05:35) CdrTKirr: Thanks ^^
(21:06:06) VAdmBlackthorne: Well then, since we're all here, how about we have our holiday party? Or is it too far past?
(21:06:18) CdrTKirr: It's still our first sim of the year =X
(21:06:28) LtWright: :: shrug of indifference ::
(21:06:30) DoctorTav: Party! Party! Party! Party! Party! Party! Party! Party!
(21:06:33) ColDougMcKnight: Not as far as I'm concerned.
(21:06:41) CdrHarper [Mibbit@jjlm-887-97-241-663.clppva.fios.verizon.net] entered the room.
(21:06:44) DoctorTav: :: dons a Toga ::
(21:06:57) DoctorTav: :: right there. In front of everyone. ::
(21:07:02) CdrTKirr: o.O
(21:07:12) VAdmBlackthorne: Ohhhh myyyy.
(21:07:15) LtCmdrBusard: Welp, now I'm blind.
(21:07:19) LtCmdrBusard: Great.
(21:07:26) VAdmBlackthorne has changed the topic to: DoctorTav: Party! Party! Party! Party! Party! Party! Party! Party!
(21:07:31) LtWright: He didn't DOFF anything.
(21:07:42) LtWright: So he just has a toga on over his uniform.
(21:07:46) CdrTKirr: Haha
(21:07:52) DoctorTav: Wright got it.
(21:08:02) LtWright: smrt
(21:08:08) DoctorTav: :: nods ::
(21:08:13) CdrTKirr: I chose to be shockingly oblivious.
(21:08:26) DoctorTav: I love assumptions
(21:08:42) ColDougMcKnight: Fine. McKnight shall be wearing a kilt in like fashion.
(21:08:46) LtWright: If a Trill is ordered to strip completely, does the host count as a garment?
(21:09:05) CdrTKirr: Hah....uh
(21:09:06) DoctorTav: And where all do the spots go?
(21:09:24) ColDougMcKnight: My once a year custom of remembering that he's Scottish.
(21:09:36) LtWright: Trill would be the most horrifying people to play strip poker with
(21:09:48) LtCmdrBusard: Eeeeew.
(21:09:57) CdrTKirr: Actually I imagine a Vulcan would since they'd win
(21:09:58) LtCmdrBusard: Strip poker is not supposed to involve surgery!
(21:10:04) LtWright: "Haha, you lose!" "Not yet... ::sqluorch::" "OMFG"
(21:10:34) LtCmdrBusard: How would a Vulcan win? o.O
(21:10:41) DoctorTav: Hello!
(21:10:50) VAdmBlackthorne: OK then, whaddya want, Ten Forward, Lost Harbor, or somewhere else in the holodeck?
(21:11:11) LtWright: Are you psychic enough to see my cards?
(21:11:13) CdrTKirr: Somewhere cold. 'Cause it's cold.
(21:11:19) DoctorTav: I can go for any of the above. NOT COLD.
(21:11:30) LtWright: We did cold last year.
(21:11:30) CdrTKirr: No but smart enough count what's left
(21:11:30) DoctorTav: Cold is not allowed
(21:11:46) VAdmBlackthorne: So two against cold, one for.
(21:11:48) CdrTKirr: Well how else are we supposed to remember it's a New Year's party?
(21:11:55) LtCmdrBusard: Well, yeah, but counting clothing is hardly a Vulcan trait.
(21:11:57) CdrTKirr: Okay um
(21:11:59) VAdmBlackthorne: Well it's not cold all over our planet even.
(21:12:03) ColDougMcKnight: In for team cold.
(21:12:15) LtWright: I vote ski lodge with full bar and roaring fire.
(21:12:19) LtCmdrBusard: Anyway, I vote for...somewhere entertaining?
(21:12:21) VAdmBlackthorne: New Year's is a summer thing down under.
(21:12:22) CdrTKirr: Snap.
(21:12:26) DoctorTav: I know a place:
(21:12:29) LtCmdrBusard: Mead hall! With all the Viking Gods!
(21:12:36) LtCmdrBusard: Come on, let's do YULE this year.
(21:12:43) CdrTKirr: I have no idea what that means.
(21:12:52) CdrTKirr: But I can be the oblivious Vulcan/Rucara
(21:13:00) CdrTKirr: Or /google
(21:13:05) VAdmBlackthorne: That's a good idea. What's the word from the doc?
(21:13:10) LtWright: Yule: winter solstice festival, pagan, etc
(21:13:20) LtCmdrBusard: Indeed.
(21:13:28) ColDougMcKnight: I could go for getting wasted with Odin and pals.
(21:13:32) DoctorTav: How about here: https://www.starwoodvacationnetwork.com/sheraton-steamboat-resort-villas/
(21:13:32) DoctorTav: Or here: https://www.starwoodvacationnetwork.com/the-westin-riverfront-mountain-villas/
(21:13:40) VAdmBlackthorne: Sometthing tells me I can't outdrink Odin.
(21:13:44) CdrTKirr: Gee, I wonder where you work?
(21:13:53) DoctorTav: :: shamelessplugforwhereIwork ::
(21:14:02) LtWright: Compromise with ski lodge in Norway?
(21:14:09) DoctorTav: I can't help that we have some beautiful resorts in the snow
(21:14:14) VAdmBlackthorne: I think the mead hall wins.
(21:14:22) LtCmdrBusard: MEAD HALL! :-D
(21:14:33) DoctorTav: Can it have a gondola up the mountain at least?
(21:14:35) ColDougMcKnight: Nor can I. That's why we're trained to work as a unit!
(21:14:45) VAdmBlackthorne: Ah, so all of Atlantis vs. Odin?
(21:14:57) LtCmdrBusard: Indeed. Also, we could steal that one cup that is actually the ocean.
(21:15:14) LtCmdrBusard: That one fucked Thor up, so it could probably get Odin at least sloshed!
(21:15:17) VAdmBlackthorne: OK, short of the norse pantheon being present, a mead hall is pretty good. Feel free to spice it up.
(21:15:45) LtCmdrBusard: And there's no reason a mead hall couldn't have sleigh rides, and such.
(21:15:55) LtWright: Here we come a-wassailing among your bearded gods... here we come, there's more of us to even up the odds... drunken joy, come to you! and to you good wassail too!
(21:15:59) CdrTKirr: Now to try out my new keyboard.
(21:16:05) VAdmBlackthorne: Holodeck two it is.
(21:16:24) VAdmBlackthorne: BEGIN PARTY
(21:16:25) VAdmBlackthorne: BEGIN PARTY
(21:16:29) VAdmBlackthorne: BEGIN PARTY
(21:16:29) LtCmdrBusard: *high fives Wright*
(21:16:36) LtCmdrBusard: (Because that was awesome.)
(21:16:40) LtKuari [TKirr@90-43-96-75.res.bhn.net] entered the room.
(21:16:50) LtWright: ( XD thank you )
(21:17:35) LtCmdrBusard: :: Pours in the last of the brandy into the wassail. And then a little more, just to be sure.::
(21:18:34) LtWright: :: standing on a table in the middle of the hall, trolling ancient yuletide carols with other musically inclined souls ::
(21:19:15) VAdmBlackthorne: :: enters, casting off his cloak into the corner, dressed in skins and furs, and clomps his hammer down by the door ::
(21:19:34) CdrTKirr: :: having written a note to Wright for suggestions on what to wear, opens the reply and reads (hint hint) ::
(21:20:11) VAdmBlackthorne: MEAD! MEAD, I SAY!
(21:21:01) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> :: hurls a giant mug at Ian, which he manages to catch because this is the holodeck and we're awesome ::
(21:21:12) ColDougMcKnight: :: Saws himself off a leg of mutton. With a dagger, which he carries in to more deeply partake in the simulation feel. Which is more excuse than he usually has. Gnawing on such, he peruses the row of mead barrels. ::
(21:21:25) DoctorTav: :: realizes a toga doesn't fit well with the COLD and so steps into his quarters to change into something... furrier. ::
(21:22:17) VAdmBlackthorne: Thank you good man! Now, for a shank of animal!
(21:22:56) VAdmBlackthorne: :: makes his way up to the animal and hacks forth a shank ::
(21:23:12) LtCmdrBusard: :: Quirks her eyebrow, chuckling. Percy considered wearing a period dress, but then remembered that armor is an option. So she dressed in leathers, with a steel chest plate and pauldrons.::
(21:23:43) CdrTKirr: :: orders her outfit from the replicator, puts it on, and makes her way to the HD2::
(21:23:53) ColDougMcKnight: Honey mead, raspberry, blueberry, boysenberry...Christ, I have no idea what an olallieberry even is. But hell if I'll let that stop me.
(21:24:07) LtWright: :: is wearing much what she suggested to T'Kirr - a blouse with long white sleeves under a woolen dress of simple cut dyed to a brilliant emerald green. Her soft brown leather boots are trimmed with rabbit fur, as is her cloak ::
(21:24:08) VAdmBlackthorne: Who cares!
(21:24:18) LtCmdrBusard: Jack, mead here!
(21:24:30) CdrHarper: Jack> :: hurls a flagon to the battlemaid ::
(21:24:51) CdrHarper: :: appears in the suggested attire and looks around, having no idea what the fuck ::
(21:25:17) LtWright: :: thinks she did okay with period dress... sincerely hopes she doesn't make T'Kirr look weird. ::
(21:25:19) CdrHarper: :: briefly wonders if we're all turning Klingon ::
(21:25:25) LtCmdrBusard: ::Catches it, of course with some spillage. It's not quaffing if it's clean!:: Thank you, good sir! ::She then pours it down her throat::
(21:25:45) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> :: Cheers! ::
(21:26:20) LtCmdrBusard: (The answer is yes, we are.)
(21:26:48) DoctorTav: :: walks down to Holodeck 2 in period garb, to bemused stares from crew members as he passes through the corridors. Must be something about the spots into the fur ::
(21:27:02) CdrHarper: :: shrugs, figuring when on Qo'noS, and wanders up to Jack and asks him for mead, sans throwing ::
(21:27:14) LtWright: :: singing :: Our cup, it is white, and our ale, it is brown... our bowl, it is made of the white maple tree, from the wassail bowl we drink to thee!
(21:27:53) ColDougMcKnight: Rak'nar> :: Showed up early, to the surprise of I should hope no one. He is now doing an impressive job, under the circumstances, of not spilling too much mead. ::
(21:28:11) VAdmBlackthorne: Jack> :: hands Kate a mead with a smirk ::
(21:28:16) CdrTKirr: :: shows up in a matching white shirt, but her dress is purple, divided by a leather belt around her slim waist. Fur she knows is artificial because it was replicated peeks out from her boots and hooded cloak ::
(21:29:00) CdrTKirr: :: notices all the mead instantly ::
(21:29:29) ColDougMcKnight: R> :: The cicumstances are, of course, that he's holding his drinking horn in one hand while elbow dropping a holo-Viking through a table. ::
(21:29:41) VAdmBlackthorne: :: heads over to the door when T'Kirr enters, carrying mead in one hand, but leaving the shank behind temporarily ::
(21:30:14) LtCmdrBusard: :: Finishes the mead, merrily smashing the cup on the ground before getting up on the table to dance along with Wright::
(21:30:34) ColDougMcKnight: R> Kaaaaaahleeeees!
(21:30:40) DoctorTav: :: enters the holodeck in a fur-lined overcoat and heavy leather pants. All the fur is as real as the Holodeck will make it. He heads over to one of the tables next to Kuari and Wright, and klunks down ::
(21:32:02) CdrTKirr: :: raises an eyebrow, then when Blackthorne gets close :: I will put this one in the "tolerate for sake of learning other cultures" category.
(21:32:24) CdrTKirr: ((Kuari's not here, genius))
(21:32:36) VAdmBlackthorne: Probably wise. :: chuckles ::: I'll not try to explain it, but try to enjoy the spirit of the party.
(21:32:44) LtWright: :: after the song ends, nods to her fellow singers and pulls out her violin case :: I... :: clears her throat nervously, then raises her voice enough to be heard by people nearby as she raises the instrument to her chin :: I'm afraid I don't know any traditional Norse music, but I think any party is made better by a few reels ::
(21:32:46) LtCmdrBusard: (Also, if memory serves, Wright is ON the table :-P)
(21:33:09) DoctorTav: MAGIC EDIT: NONE OF WHAT I SAID HAPPENED.
(21:33:14) CdrTKirr: :: wonders if her outfit came with earplugs in a pocket and checks ::
(21:33:19) CdrHarper: :: sits at the table where Wright is about to play, still looking confused, but downs a bit of the mead anyway ::
(21:33:27) LtCmdrBusard: Aw, screw it, girl. Same general time period!
(21:33:30) LtCmdrBusard: ...sort of.
(21:33:49) DoctorTav: :: enters the holodeck in a fur-lined overcoat and heavy leather pants. All the fur is as real as the Holodeck will make it. He heads over to one of the tables and plops down, since that is the most graceful he can be in this garb ::

(21:34:01) LtWright: :: stamps her leather boot against the table to start :: 1, 2, 3, 4! :: her bow flies across the strings, playing a lively reel ::
(21:34:50) LtCmdrBusard: :: Flops down into a sitting position on the table, clapping to the up beat, as is only right.::
(21:35:11) CdrHarper: :: smiles as the music begins, that being more like it ::

(21:35:25) LtWright: :: is more of a cellist, but figures if people are drunk enough then her violin-playing is passable ::
(21:35:35) LtWright: (I wish! Alas, I am merely a singer.)

(21:37:24) LtCmdrBusard: :: Will get there. Serves herself up a bowl of wassail, so she has to stop the clapping.:: Oh right, food! :: Goes to get a shank....of meat.::
(21:37:48) LtCmdrBusard: :: No sharpened toothbrushes here!::
(21:37:54) LtWright: :: smiles as an ensign she's never met before joins in on some sort of drum ::
(21:38:10) CdrHarper: :: wishes she'd brought her flute ::
(21:38:47) CdrTKirr: :: keeps a respectable distance from said shank ::

(21:39:44) DoctorTav: :: after adjusting to the cold, stands up and begins exploring the hall. He sees the shank and, hungry, heads over to it. ::

(21:42:54) ColDougMcKnight: :: Oh, and since we're describing garb and all, he's wearing a chain shirt up top. But the 13th Warrior claims that Vikings wore kilts, so it must be true. :: Well, that was...inevitable, I suppose.

(22:38:44) LtCmdrBusard: Yeah...plus this is WAY more awesome.

(22:47:32) VAdmBlackthorne: One of the best duties afforded to me as a... longship.. captain is that of performing marriage ceremonies. Tonight, as a new year dawns, I am fortunate to be able to do just that.

(23:04:36) VAdmBlackthorne: (Like you said, the computer is awesome)
(23:05:00) LtCmdrBusard: (INDEED.)
(23:05:20) DoctorTav: (( Wait. You would like to have had a drunk Trill with a flamethrower at your wedding? ))
(23:05:35) LtCmdrBusard: (You wouldn't?)
(23:05:50) DoctorTav: (( Well. When you put it that way... ))
(23:06:14) ColDougMcKnight: :: Maintains just enough presence of mind to remember that a headbutt would be a poor notion. He just grins instead. :: Wifey.
(23:06:44) LtKuari: :: would totally headbutt you ::
(23:06:59) ColDougMcKnight: Yes, I said that. Let's move on.
(23:07:35) LtCmdrBusard: ::Chuckles:: I dunno, I think that'll require more mead. Significantly more.::
(23:07:43) LtCmdrBusard: (That's sweet :-P)
(23:07:49) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE PARTY
(23:07:52) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE PARTY
(23:07:54) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE PARTY
(23:08:01) LtCmdrBusard: (Wait!)
(23:08:18) LtCmdrBusard: (There was a little misunderstanding!)
(23:08:26) VAdmBlackthorne: UNPAUSE PARTY?
(23:08:58) VAdmBlackthorne: :: Mario piku-piku pause noise ::
(23:08:58) LtCmdrBusard: (It'll be short. Promise!)
(23:09:05) VAdmBlackthorne: UNPAUSE PARTY!
(23:09:21) LtWright: :: continues partying ::
(23:09:38) ColDougMcKnight: :: Takes a few deep breaths, then throws Percy over his shoulder like a very heavy, steel clad sack of potatoes before beginning his walk to the exit. :: We'll be in holodeck 1. If anyone tries to follow...Rak'nar, kill.
(23:09:48) CdrHarper: :: felt like time skipped for a second then keeps playing ::
(23:10:05) LtWright: Woooooooooooo!
(23:10:06) ColDougMcKnight: (Now you can pause. )
(23:10:21) LtCmdrBusard: (Did you just call me fat?)
(23:10:28) VAdmBlackthorne: (Oh snap)
(23:10:32) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE PARTY AGAIN
(23:10:36) VAdmBlackthorne: PAUSE PARTY AGAIN
(23:10:40) VAdmBlackthorne: Whew.
(23:10:43) ColDougMcKnight: ( We're married now. This shit happens. )
(23:10:49) LtCmdrBusard: :: Pauses. For realsies.::
(23:10:49) DoctorTav: :: pauses mid flamethrow ::
(23:10:51) LtWright: (grounds for divorce in the Alpha quadrant)
(23:10:54) LtWright: :: || ::
(23:10:58) LtCmdrBusard: *sigh* You're right.
(23:11:10) CdrTKirr: :: totally understands now and pauses ::
(23:12:24) LtWright: Congratulations!
(23:12:47) LtCmdrBusard: Woohoo! That is no longer a lingering storyline thread!
(23:12:52) CdrTKirr: Yes, congratulations. ^_^
(23:13:04) LtCmdrBusard: I mean...uh...we're married...again?
(23:13:07) LtCmdrBusard: o.O
(23:13:18) CdrTKirr: Reaffirmation. Virtual-style.
(23:13:24) CdrTKirr: And, apparently, Norse.
(23:13:27) LtWright: :: weaves thread into last few stitches :: :: cuts off tail :: Vair ni.
(23:13:35) VAdmBlackthorne: OK, I've just gotta add this in...
(23:13:44) DoctorTav: How many people can say they had a dragon at their wedding?
(23:13:57) VAdmBlackthorne: :: as they walk into the burning foreset outside :: Lo there do I see my father...
(23:14:02) DoctorTav: Or at least a reasonable facsimile of one?
(23:14:09) LtCmdrBusard: Sweeeeet.
(23:14:19) LtWright: I don't get it.
(23:14:21) VAdmBlackthorne: Lo there do I see my mother...
(23:14:36) VAdmBlackthorne: and my sisters and my brothers.
(23:14:37) DoctorTav: Admiral? I just want to say, it seems your ship's Trill is really good at making messes.
(23:14:50) VAdmBlackthorne: Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning.
(23:15:14) VAdmBlackthorne: Lo, they do call me, they bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever!
(23:15:40) ColDougMcKnight: Oooooooooooooooooooooodiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!
(23:15:45) VAdmBlackthorne: If you don't get it, go watch the 13th Warrior immediately!
(23:15:54) ColDougMcKnight: Which is Ancient Norse for "Fucking metal."
(23:16:13) LtWright: Okay, I'll watch it.
(23:16:22) LtCmdrBusard: :: Raises hammer, realizes it's a claw hammer, lowers hammer::
(23:16:37) VAdmBlackthorne: Anyway, the night just could not end without THAT.
(23:16:44) ColDougMcKnight: It's made of awesome. One of the Vikings is dressed like a fucking Conquistador, and I don't even care.
(23:16:45) LtCmdrBusard: Darn my hammers all being real tools.
(23:16:56) LtWright: :: raises hammer, realizes it's a toy hammer that goes "squeak" when you hit things with it, lowers hammer ::
(23:16:56) LtCmdrBusard: Me either, and that's saying A LOT.
(23:17:08) VAdmBlackthorne: I probably didn't even notice.
(23:17:17) VAdmBlackthorne: There was just too much badassery flying around.
(23:17:33) DoctorTav: I dunno about you, but I can't wait for the next party
(23:17:44) VAdmBlackthorne: They bring out some of our best.
(23:18:04) LtWright: we're gonna have to up the ante. Stage a murder mystery or something.
(23:18:16) DoctorTav: Hey, I like that plan
(23:18:22) LtCmdrBusard: Dude, that would be awesome.
(23:18:33) VAdmBlackthorne: If someone wants to write it up, we can do it.
(23:18:35) DoctorTav: Maybe the next storyline.
(23:18:45) CdrTKirr: That WOULD be awesome.
(23:19:02) CdrTKirr: And speaking of not caring. Gravity.
(23:19:04) LtWright: This is my idea. Take it and go.
(23:19:17) DoctorTav: I already know it was Mr. White in the Gymnasium, with the candlestick. I have the photographic proof somewhere
(23:19:21) VAdmBlackthorne: There's a post on the website about the future of this game we could use some more discussion on.
(23:19:31) DoctorTav: Oh, boy. Why did you have to mention Gravity in my presence?
(23:19:48) CdrTKirr: 'Cause I know you have something to say...that Jason would appreciate
(23:20:03) VAdmBlackthorne: Yep. Nights like this, I love.
(23:20:08) VAdmBlackthorne: We just don't get enough of them.
(23:20:49) DoctorTav: I appreciate the use of Kessler Syndrome in a movie, though the way it was portrayed in Gravity... Drove me up a wall, frankly. And that's just the first element of the movie. Then you get into the jetpack ride from Hubble to ISS. Just wanna say good luck on that one!
(23:21:14) VAdmBlackthorne: (and from ISS to Tiangong, lol)
(23:21:27) DoctorTav: Now, I did get a laugh out of the fact that it was Space Shuttle Explorer that was destroyed. Since in a way there sort of is a Space Shuttle Explorer, as I have been aboard it.
(23:21:30) CdrTKirr: Maybe we need a break from the rules of Starfleet. The crew could get splintered and the senior staff survive as mercenaries.
(23:21:43) LtWright: I think when we have nights like this, we explore the dimensions of our character beyond who they are when they're on duty.
(23:21:48) DoctorTav: Not exactly sure how Explorer survived launch...
(23:22:05) VAdmBlackthorne: Heh, that's the thing that was at KSC and is now at JSC
(23:22:14) DoctorTav: But yes, once the flight from Hubble to ISS is complete, ISS to Tiangong is easy in comparison, if somehow you get them lined up.
(23:22:15) VAdmBlackthorne: Yes, Wright, that's turue.
(23:22:42) VAdmBlackthorne: Not with only a a few meters per second of dV in the EMU.
(23:22:53) CdrTKirr: I have no idea what he just said.
(23:23:06) LtWright: You guys both play the hell out of some KSP, don't you
(23:23:14) CdrTKirr: Yes, they do.
(23:23:15) VAdmBlackthorne: Delta-V is change in velocity. The EMU is the "jetpack"
(23:23:37) CdrTKirr: Okay I undestand you now. =P
(23:23:43) VAdmBlackthorne: It has maybe 4-5 meters per second change capability. To change orbits like that would take hundreds.
(23:23:49) DoctorTav: But she used the backup capsule at ISS, so we'll go with that.
(23:23:52) VAdmBlackthorne: And more time than you have oxygen.
(23:24:10) CdrTKirr: Not to mention you'd get really, really hungry.
(23:24:13) VAdmBlackthorne: Ah, I haven't actually seen this movie, mind
(23:24:25) LtCmdrBusard: I have no idea what you all are talking about!
(23:24:36) LtWright: My husband too. He's all like "let me show you my new lifter design! It has all this blah blah blah" and he's doing all this complex math and stuff.
(23:24:42) DoctorTav: You should see it. But please record yourself as you do. I want to watch your reaction, since you know quite a bit more than I do.
(23:24:44) VAdmBlackthorne: Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in space disaster.
(23:24:47) CdrTKirr: The movie Gravity. They're talking about how it's impossible.
(23:25:05) LtCmdrBusard: I'm not sure if I've even heard of that movie until now.
(23:25:07) LtCmdrBusard: Huh.
(23:25:15) CdrTKirr: It like, won an award.
(23:25:21) VAdmBlackthorne: Impossible, yes, but probably entertaining.
(23:25:38) LtCmdrBusard: Anyway, I gotta go. I needs my meds, preciousss.
(23:25:39) CdrTKirr: It was all about what you would be feeling, and they did that very well.
(23:25:45) DoctorTav: Bullock was great, Clooney was... well, George Clooney. As far as the acting and storyline, great. I just couldn't get past the fact that I was sitting there thinking how impossible it was.
(23:25:51) VAdmBlackthorne: Please, chime in on the website on how we can keep this going.
(23:25:51) CdrTKirr: Smaug yelling "PRECIOUS!"
(23:25:57) LtWright: And there's a game called Kerbal Space Program that makes certain people get all neckbeardy about space junk, ad I say that with so much love
(23:26:10) VAdmBlackthorne: I'm strokin' mah neckbeard
(23:26:10) DoctorTav: KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM!
(23:26:13) LtCmdrBusard: G'night all!
(23:26:18) DoctorTav: Night!
(23:26:22) LtWright: Night!
(23:26:24) VAdmBlackthorne: I might go play that right now! I have a crew on Laythe to bring home!
(23:26:28) CdrTKirr: Night!
(23:26:36) ColDougMcKnight: Sure, I'll chime in.
(23:26:37) DoctorTav: I haven't been to Laythe yet
(23:26:43) LtCmdrBusard left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(23:26:46) DoctorTav: Actually, I haven't been past Mun
(23:26:54) CdrTKirr left the room.
(23:26:54) LtKuari left the room.
(23:26:56) ColDougMcKnight: Not tonight, since my energy is flagging. But I will.
(23:27:00) VAdmBlackthorne: Thanks.
(23:27:02) VAdmBlackthorne: Kerbal steps, Tav.
(23:27:11) DoctorTav: :)
(23:27:12) VAdmBlackthorne: I still remember my first Munlanding.
(23:27:20) VAdmBlackthorne: Lander fell over and broke a leg, of course.
(23:27:35) DoctorTav: Of course. I am still thinking of mine. Finally got it to explode as I tried to stand it up
(23:27:52) LtWright: <3 G'night, my lovely KSP neckbeards... and McKnight
(23:27:54) DoctorTav: And the Kerbals SURVIVED. So now I need a rescue mission to Mun
(23:27:56) VAdmBlackthorne: If you're on a hill pointed vaguely above sideways, you can just launch.
(23:28:07) VAdmBlackthorne: And then a rescue mission for THAT mission.
(23:28:11) VAdmBlackthorne: And so forth.
(23:28:12) LtWright left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(23:28:13) DoctorTav: Right
(23:28:18) ColDougMcKnight: Night, Wright.
(23:28:36) DoctorTav: Alright. Early morning. Must go as well. Have a good evening
(23:28:40) VAdmBlackthorne: G'night!
(23:28:44) DoctorTav left the room.
