3[9:15] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Stardate 95992.26. Our... team building exercise did not go as plan. Starfleet has tasked myself and Ms. Clerie with the job of coming up with new ideas for a team building exercise.
4
5[9:15] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hopefully she can give me some insight. I feel like I'm all out of ideas. End log.
6
7[9:16] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *GO*
8
9[9:16] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore was out amongst people for the first time since the team building, slurping a beer a bit away from the others at the lounge.*
10
11[9:17] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Asada to Clerie. I need to see you in the office.
12
13[9:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -is at the lounge, nursing her hot chocolate, watching the Pike City Pioneers play the Severus Landing Knights in baseball on Cestus III.-
14
15[9:17] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy is looking over V'Tira's shoulder.*
16
17[9:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: --leans over barely noticably to bursh her cheek to Cathy's as she does so-
18
19[9:18] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *calmly stood at the bar eating a chili dish of sorts from a bowl, seemingly enjouing the spicy food*
20
21[9:18] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: *Sitting in her room playing 'hooverpadd' she loses focus as the comm beeps* =^= "On my way sir."
22
23[9:18] [DOIC6] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --somewhere on the station Ezri watches and waits...plotting her next move.--
24
25[9:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -orders T another glass of ice water....just in case, knowing her tastes in food-
26
27[9:19] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] He should not have swung.
28
29[9:20] [DOIC6] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Ezri doesn't see much than your atypical movement throughout the station.*
30
31[9:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow and nods- He is young and inexperienced
32
33[9:20] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *buzzes the doorbell to asadas temporary office space*
34
35[9:20] [DOIC6] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri smiles, knowing her plans are working perfectly.--
36
37[9:20] [DOIC2] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay leaves her roommate nursing a hangover of some sort in their room.  She gives her space and goes shopping for a new outfit on the citadel.
38
39[9:20] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *raises an eyebrow, but does not ask, at least for now*
40
41[9:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Cathy- You are becoming more adept at your observations Catherine
42
43[9:21] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore cringes at the words "Young and inexperienced."*
44
45[9:21] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Come in.
46
47[9:21] [DOIC6] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri laughs and evil sort of laugh.--
48
49[9:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus stepped into the lounge, scratching at his beard as he made his way to the counter.*
50
51[9:22] [DOIC6] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A passerby gives Ezri a confused look.*
52
53[9:22] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Walks up to the table, comming to attention for a second before assuming a normal stance once more* "Sir."
54
55[9:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I try.
56
57[9:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You are succedding
58
59[9:22] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *raises an eyebrow at the ice water*
60
61[9:23] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: *Rima walked into the lounge not soon after, rubbing the side of her head as she walked.*
62
63[9:23] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hello Lieutenant. How are you?
64
65[9:23] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore nodded at Marcus from behind his beer.*
66
67[9:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to T- I can clearly smell the level of spice you have selected...a follow up order for such a beverage seems only practical
68
69[9:23] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Ristovski."  *He ordered a beer of his own.*
70
71[9:24] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Only issue is that water is not the best idea if trying to reduce the heat in the mouth, as it tends to spread the effect more then dull it, but thank you the gesture is well recieved."
72
73[9:24] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Still a lieutenant commander sir, Unless our latest stunt ended that."
74
75[9:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is was for more of an emotional gratification
76
77[9:25] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh, did I say Lieutenant? I'm a little distracted.
78
79[9:25] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "How have you been?" *Looks to Marcus*
80
81[9:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Emotional?
82
83[9:25] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Understandeble sir. I am alright, spending msot spare time practicing, how are you?"
84
85[9:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That level of spice is indicative...of a local anestizine -to Cathy then- Yes
86
87[9:26] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Eh, restless more than anything.  Think they're going to keep us grounded until we can show we won't overthrow the captain for real?"
88
89[9:26] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Not great. We have a new assignment from Starfleet.
90
91[9:27] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Is it that bad?"
92
93[9:27] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Probably."
94
95[9:27] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Long range patrol again?"
96
97[9:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -selects a cherry from her drink and slips it into her mouth to softly chew, her eyes back on the game-
98
99[9:27] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Even worse. We need to have a successful team building exercise.
100
101[9:27] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: "That mutiny wasn't the best idea now was it?"
102
103[9:28] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I... think our view of how bad long range patrol inside a ship where life is put on pause is, sir. An successful teambuilding exercise should not be that hard?"
104
105[9:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Cathy at the word 'muitiny' with a single raised brow-
106
107[9:28] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *dodges the question* You know, as the executive officer, you're the liaison to the crew.
108
109[9:28] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "As the Commander said... what is important is that we made a choice and stuck with it together. Technically, we did kinda build a team.
110
111[9:29] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well it sure as hell brought us all together."
112
113[9:29] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes."
114
115[9:29] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: So. Share your thoughts with me.
116
117[9:29] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Mutiny? did you say mutiny?"
118
119[9:29] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: "Yes, miss...?"
120
121[9:29] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore waves guiltily.* "Acting Captain of the independent starship Protector..."
122
123[9:29] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "T'Sahriv"
124
125[9:29] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We did some simulation and the Captain didn't want to go save the civilian ship.  He was just going to make us all watch them get blown up."
126
127[9:30] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I think I shared them during the last exercise, but very well. I feel that as of lately, the 'divide' between Protectors command and protectors crew has grown, almaost to a we and them sense. >
128
129[9:30] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: *She nodded to T'Sahriv then gestured to Marcus.*
130
131[9:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shakes her head at this-
132
133[9:31] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > leaving us with a very fragile morale, and I know you said I care to much about morale, sir. Yet I am also of the belief wars, missions and tasks are won by morale. It is the force multiplying >
134
135[9:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: So, a test of character
136
137[9:31] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "I see"
138
139[9:31] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > wildcard to which great designed ships fails, and small ships hit above their diet, sir."
140
141[9:31] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes... I still am not sure if we failed the test of character itself or ot. We failed the officer part of the test for sure."
142
143[9:31] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That's not exactly my concern. I think you're a little too quick to see appeasement as a solution.
144
145[9:32] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks back at V'Tira innocently.*
146
147[9:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Ezri sneaks into the lounge and finds a seat at a secluded table, tapping away on a PADD--
148
149[9:32] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...My back still hurts from that blocky 23rd century captain's chair too... how did Kirk survive that?"
150
151[9:32] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: There is a chain of command here, that they have to respect whether they like it or not. They seem to think that orders are a suggestion or a request.
152
153[9:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: By and large any attempted coup if a failing to the officer's code of conduct
154
155[9:33] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: If you give into that, it's only going to spiral out of control.
156
157[9:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: if=is*
158
159[9:33] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Tecnically, it was a successful one, not an attempted one."
160
161[9:33] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Just acording to regulations the wrong thing to do"
162
163[9:33] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I do not nessesarily seek appeasement, sir. Yet the colapsing morale will hurt us significantly. and indeed they should follow orders by obligation. Yet it is well known thsoe who follow orders out >
164
165[9:33] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "And it was team building... and I sure aa hell trusted my rogue crew."
166
167[9:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: annnd...who proectored this 'team building' excersise to test character?
168
169[9:34] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > free will, those who trust, and respect their senior officers, are vastly more efficient then thsoe who do it to not end up on new zealand for refusing orders, sir."
170
171[9:34] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "The Captain."
172
173[9:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...
174
175[9:34] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Guess it bit his backside kinda.'
176
177[9:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I see -goes back to her game watching-
178
179[9:34] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Well, what do you propose we do?
180
181[9:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Yeah... let's build up the team by watching a ship full of civilians get killed by Klingons."
182
183[9:35] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea.."
184
185[9:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Fan-fucking-tastic."
186
187[9:35] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Does the captain even know the meaning of the word Logic?"
188
189[9:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -a single sigh- ...Klingons...really?
190
191[9:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks over her shoulder at the other people in the bar--
192
193[9:35] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It was the 23rd century, V'Tira."
194
195[9:36] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It was a retro set.  A Constitution class."
196
197[9:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- ....the 23rd century?
198
199[9:36] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I have a few ideas, and whiel different they are also linked, sir."
200
201[9:36] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Alright, let's hear it.
202
203[9:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: And no one suspected this was a test?
204
205[9:37] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Firstly we need to remidn the crew that when we all work at a team we are actually really good, that it is together we succeed. And indeed that command is very much a part of that together, not the >
206
207[9:37] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > grand enemy within, as it currently is leaning towards."
208
209[9:37] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "We were promised team building. You know, team buiding is usually beach volleyball and pina coladas and crap."
210
211[9:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...i see
212
213[9:37] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "All of a sudden, we're faced with an impossible moral choice."
214
215[9:37] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Bowling"
216
217[9:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --taps away on her PADD--
218
219[9:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Hard to imagine...how this test..failed.
220
221[9:38] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *raises an eyebrow*
222
223[9:38] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are you suggesting...?
224
225[9:38] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea, no crap."
226
227[9:39] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Another exercise, A hard one. Not hard because it brigns in to question why we wear this uniform, but hard, as only trough intense, close and wel lexecuted team work can we succeed."
228
229[9:39] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Mmmm.
230
231[9:40] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Further, while perhaps we can not punish those people directly. If we are to punish them, We should also take teh punishment ourselfs, as whiel their failure was in a simulation, their lack of faith>
232
233[9:40] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Stepping up beside Bore* "Pardon me... Bartender, can I get an orange, Powerboots energy drink, 8 oz is fine"
234
235[9:40] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > is not a simulation, and we deserve the punishment jsut as much as the ydo, if it comes to that. sir."
236
237[9:40] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: ((powerboost, lol))
238
239[9:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bartender] Of course. *The holobartender turns to retrieve the drink.*
240
241[9:40] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm not on board with that last part. The only thing I dislike more than insubordination is being called into question.
242
243[9:40] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: But I do like the first suggestion.
244
245[9:41] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Everyone needs to be questioned at times sir, Otherwise we would not be the federation."
246
247[9:41] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Picture this. *he leans back in his chair and kicks his legs on the table, folding his hands behind his head*
248
249[9:42] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The hardest place I can imagine. Deep in a Nauusican prison.
250
251[9:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -orders a strawberry cupcake-
252
253[9:42] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Listens attentively*
254
255[9:42] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *finishes her chili* "Ohh I will have one to, please"
256
257[9:42] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Strip searched. Beaten up. Throw into a dank cell in a mine, condemned to spend the rest of our short lives mining dilithium.
258
259[9:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to her- Indeed
260
261[9:42] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: UNLESS! We escape.
262
263[9:43] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: How's that for a team building exercise?
264
265[9:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Six's drink is provided to her.*
266
267[9:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Catherine, would you care for a cupcale?
268
269[9:44] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "While the premise holds many merits sir, It should be considered if it achives the part of proving that each and every one participating is a nessesary part of the team. Some skillsets are possible >
270
271[9:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Cupcake?
272
273[9:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shows her her own recently ordered strawberry cupcake- One like this?
274
275[9:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You know, the tiny little cakes with frosting on top."
276
277[9:45] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > to be overlooked at such a scenario, unless it is designed not to be so, and such is done in a not cheese-eating way which would make it to obvious. Sir."
278
279[9:45] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Good point. Also, Nausicaan space is all the way back in the Alpha Quadrant.
280
281[9:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a tiny cake in a wrapper
282
283[9:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Oh, yes!
284
285[9:45] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Maybe we could try programing some type of holodeck sim?
286
287[9:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus paused a moment, looking at his beer before he muttered to the bartender.*  "Can I get a cupcake, too?  Chocolate... with sprinkles."
288
289[9:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods slowly once and then mutters as she stares at Cathy a moment- say good night to the folks Gracie
290
291[9:46] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *looks happily at her own cupcake*
292
293[9:46] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I have a few sims from when I ran the initial bonding simulations for the protector, sir. Those could be adapted."
294
295[9:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =then orders Cathy a cupcake of her own-
296
297[9:46] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh!
298
299[9:46] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You know. We should make our own team building."
300
301[9:46] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I have something even better than any holodeck sim.
302
303[9:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: With legos?
304
305[9:47] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "What is that, sir?"
306
307[9:47] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius pulls out the telepathic enhancer helmet out from under the desk and sets it on the table.*
308
309[9:47] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...I walked right into that one, forget I said anything." *Hides his pout by drinking beer.*
310
311[9:47] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "The telepathic enhancer?"
312
313[9:47] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: You all can spend one hour in my noggin. If that's not bonding, I don't know what is.
314
315[9:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Gracie?
316
317[9:48] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Legos are fun, why not?"
318
319[9:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Shay-
320
321[9:48] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Lego does promote creative thinking"
322
323[9:48] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Sir, The bonding is a bonding as a team all togehter, not between you and each individual member I believe, Sir."
324
325[9:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed
326
327[9:48] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Oh yes, I know.
328
329[9:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: much like a preschool huan version of Kal-tow
330
331[9:48] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I was more thinking some -fun- holo simulation, but hey... making our own lego city... why not."
332
333[9:48] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Kal-tow?"
334
335[9:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Stick with Legos Bore
336
337[9:48] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: But if we both wore one of these bad boys, I'm sure we can set up a local area network.
338
339[9:49] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Pouts*
340
341[9:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Perhaps...a targetted goal..a scale lego model of the Death Star
342
343[9:50] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "While it is possible, I think it may be very disorienting to those not normally telepathic to hold so many influences at once, and I am slightly unsure what your end goal with simply creating a hive>
344
345[9:50] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Speaking of fun, Bore, you never told me what you thought of the t-shirt."
346
347[9:50] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > mind is, sir?"
348
349[9:50] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "WHy not a full size one, should keep people busy for a while"
350
351[9:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quurks a brow- That is a lot of lego then
352
353[9:51] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, thanks. It is awesome. I am going to wear it to my starfleet academy class reunion."
354
355[9:51] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "What's a 'death star?'  And what are Legos?"  *He munches his cupcake.*
356
357[9:51] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "If they don't hang me in the promenade as a warning, that is."
358
359[9:51] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "We could build a scale model of the protector."
360
361[9:52] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *nods to V* "Indeed, and it would be a record"
362
363[9:52] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm trying to think outside of the box.
364
365[9:52] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "A scale model of the protector would be cool... maybe we could make it a big bigger and add actual bedrooms. Allow ourselves to dream."
366
367[9:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Marcus- It is the ultimate technological destructive force in the galaxy...according to its own descrition.  Ahuman fictional space station the impractical size of a small moon
368
369[9:53] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "And I am seeking to refine your box escaping thoughts to a concise idea, sir. What would the end goal, the qualificatiosn for sucessfull outcome, and what would our cre brign with them after it was >
370
371[9:53] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > done, sir?"
372
373[9:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What?
374
375[9:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Why not just build ourself a new ship at that point?"  *He looked at V'Tira.*  "Oh, one of those nerd things?"
376
377[9:53] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Basically, we need to subject them to stress and then help them through is what you're saying?
378
379[9:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Marcus- Not a bad idea...a simulation on the holodeck of a fantasy improvement of our enviroment
380
381[9:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious..-to Marcus- Nerd?
382
383[9:54] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Legos are these little plastic blocks that have been washing up on the coast of Ireland and England for 400 years, some toy building block that has been reproduced from the many remnants."
384
385[9:54] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "A stressfull, difficult situation which both shows how they all are vital to the crew, and who also command is vital as a fuction."
386
387[9:55] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Acording to legend they are the worst thing one can step on"
388
389[9:55] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You know, stuff people geek out to."
390
391[9:55] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And wouldn't that be lava?"
392
393[9:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...geek?
394
395[9:55] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That's the hard part.
396
397[9:55] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You know, nerdy shit."
398
399[9:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No..I do not know
400
401[9:56] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I found some on the beach, we looked them up and found them in the federation database.  I think they are creative, so do a lot of other people, they have been replicating them for decades."
402
403[9:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Do elaborate please -looks to Marcus-
404
405[9:56] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "I would think so"
406
407[9:56] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "There are official lego toy sets even, Shay. There are some pretty cool starfleet ones of the Enterprise family of ships"
408
409[9:56] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I've never seen those."
410
411[9:56] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It might not translate."  *He ate the rest of his cupcake and licked the rim of the paper for excess frosting.*
412
413[9:56] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "It is. If it was not hard I think we would not have the problem, sir."
414
415[9:57] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I think V'Tira would find it illogical to bash people's interests."
416
417[9:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: What purpose woud such serve? -nods to Bore-
418
419[9:57] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *sighs*
420
421[9:57] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Who's bashing what now?  All the nerds I know proudly own the term."
422
423[9:58] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Term of endearment, I swear."
424
425[9:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Then...as per your description..I am for an example..a nerd?
426
427[9:58] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "So am I, apparently. I got a hologarage full of 20th and 21st century human vehicles. Have learned to drive them too."
428
429[9:58] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Nothing wrong with it."
430
431[9:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: So a nerd is a fetishist?
432
433[9:58] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Perhaps Vulcans just have different interests?
434
435[9:59] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Does the word nerd not just mean you have a high degree of knowledge in a focused area?"
436
437[9:59] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] ...what?
438
439[9:59] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "What..?"
440
441[9:59] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "What?"
442
443[9:59] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I tried to fly the simulation 23rd century Audi Shark grav car.. crashed it."
444
445[9:59] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I can try to teach you to drive a 21st century audi? Those that run on land are easier to deal with."
446
447[9:59] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "To further add to the situation is ofcourse the time pressure that it would be good to have the protector i na battle ready position before the fleet leaves for the Xert homeworld."
448
449[10:00] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: "..."
450
451[10:00] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "While I hope we are not going with them, we will still be asked to fill teh space of other ships closer to homm... the Citadel."
452
453[10:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a fetishist is by definition one of two things...primairily a person whose sexual desire or gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, activity, part of the body,
454
455[10:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: or its secondary definition is...a person who has an excessive and irrational devotion or commitment to a particular thing.
456
457[10:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It would appear 'nerds' are by definition...more akin to the secondary definition
458
459[10:01] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Do you just read the Federation standard dictionary in your spare time or something?"
460
461[10:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: So a nerd is a fetishist
462
463[10:01] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We are under a time crunch.
464
465[10:01] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm going to be completely honest with you. I am totally tapped out on ideas, so I will need your help in a very significant way.
466
467[10:01] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Uuuuuuh... I mean, maybe strictly by definition, yes? But do not exactly use that comparison, it is.. confusing for most."
468
469[10:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- One has to understnd a word if one is to use it in communication properly for more effcient understanding
470
471[10:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: when one communicates with others
472
473[10:02] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore touched for his neck a bit, before remembering Nadine is off, and took a small sigh of relief.*
474
475[10:02] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *mutters* nothing wrong with reading the dictionary
476
477[10:02] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *eats her cupcake*
478
479[10:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Shay at that-
480
481[10:02] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I can create a simulation, For the sake of it being 'fair', letting as little as possible be known about it, so when people see you make the calls, they know you do not sit with facit. As if you did>
482
483[10:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus just sighed.*  "Forget I said anything."
484
485[10:03] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > it would ruin the purpose. Does that sound okey, sir?"
486
487[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Bore- What is your fetish then Bore?
488
489[10:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blinks.*
490
491[10:04] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Uuuuuuuh... 1st defintion, or 2nd"
492
493[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- You have one of either?
494
495[10:05] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...Uuuh... yes."
496
497[10:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Oh, god, do not answer that question, I was just starting to like you."
498
499[10:05] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *shay buries her face in her drink, cheeks going pink*
500
501[10:05] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I think it sounds perfect.
502
503[10:05] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Shay seems uncomfortable with the topic."
504
505[10:06] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "So I will be a good friend to her and not answer. My fetish by the 2nd definition, is as I said, 20th and 21st century human vehicles."
506
507[10:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Then we should drop it...It is understandable discussion of 'nerd culture' would make non nerds...uncomfortable
508
509[10:06] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "..Of course."
510
511[10:06] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Then I shall work on such, Sir. I do have a second idea as a compliment to this as well."
512
513[10:06] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus just took what he could get and drained his beer.*
514
515[10:06] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay watches the bartednerd going about his work.*
516
517[10:07] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmmh?
518
519[10:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Shay- I did not mean to make you uncomfortable.
520
521[10:07] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "It's alright" *she say quietly* "You did nothing wrong."
522
523[10:08] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "We run some simulations which in essence are based on decision making, letting thsoe who are the ones feeling the strongest that they are always right, who always have the luxury of judging from the>
524
525[10:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods and returns her eyes to her game watching, scowling some at the current batter-
526
527[10:08] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Smiles supportively to Shay.*
528
529[10:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What is it?
530
531[10:08] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > side lines or hindsight know what it is to maek the decision when it matters, not afterwards when all is so obvious. And of course we do not aim to sabotauge them, we will be there, assisting. >
532
533[10:09] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > giving them the understanding, If it does not work to let them see how decisions at the moment is a lot harder in their hindsight observation, atleast it should aid in their careers."
534
535[10:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That the coach persists on dressing this player..despite his inability to repeatily fail to hit.the,ball. on a regular basis
536
537[10:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ability*
538
539[10:10] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I like it.
540
541[10:10] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "I never really understood the game myself"
542
543[10:10] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Don't you get points... or strikes... or however they're called in baseball when you don't hit the ball?"
544
545[10:10] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to T'Sahriv.* "Same here."
546
547[10:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No
548
549[10:11] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I will work on that as well then, Sir."
550
551[10:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Such things prevents your opposition from achieving them
552
553[10:11] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Very good, thank you Commander.
554
555[10:11] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: "Wait what are you all talking about?"
556
557[10:12] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Some earth sport even I don't get."
558
559[10:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: At this point..this player's performance only enhances the oppoisitions efforts to achieve more points
560
561[10:12] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Is there anythign else I can assist with at present hour, sir?"
562
563[10:12] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Well, maybe he's the coach's friend's son or something."
564
565[10:12] [DOIC3] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: No, you are dismissed.
566
567[10:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...it is clear..the Pike City Pioneers are in need of a good 'team building excersise'
568
569[10:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy covers her mouth as she giggles softly.*
570
571[10:13] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Aye sir." *Stands ot attention as she turns, walking out the officer with a thoughtful expression*

573[10:14] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: *Rima looked completely confused.*

578
579[10:15] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: *Still confused.*
580
581[10:15] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I've heard of that.  Never seen it though.  The rules do not seem to make any sense."

592
593[10:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Against a holo team would be good.  On the Argentina we had more than enough people for multiple teams.  I still have a slight ringing in my ears from after I was headbutted by an Orion guy during...

595[10:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: a rugby match."

598
599[10:22] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "And no worries, Shay. You can learn. Most are easy to pick up."

614
615[10:24] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: ""Pretty sure the closest I've gotten to sports was a game of Parrises Squares."

618
619[10:25] [DOIC1] Rima@tekken#5904: "Frenchwoman?"

700
701[10:34] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "We have a few simulatiosn and exercises ahead of us. So even the msot excited of you are bond to feel satisfied. Of course they are split upa bit so you wont miss food."

708
709[10:34] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "What about second breakfast?"
710
711[10:35] [DOIC4] Six@Gonz.0: "I know that one.. I read that book."
712
713[10:35] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Well.. the sims can be done quickly, or slowly, They end when they end, if you all work hard together I am sure you succeed rapidly and can have both second breakfast and coffee." *Smiles slightly*
714
715[10:35] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore smiles, his belly barely audibly rumbling.*
716
717[10:36] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thank you, Commander."
718
719[10:36] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "So, This first sim is one where nither I or the captain shall be at the conn. One of you shall, and another one of you shall be the XO."
720
721[10:36] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: " -Legaly- this time."
722
723[10:37] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Looks guiltily to the side at that.*
724
725[10:37] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus pressed his lips together to hold in a slight smirk.*

736
737[10:40] [DOIC4] Six@Gonz.0: "For anyone who thinks they are too low on the command chain for this to ever happen for you, I would suggest looking back a couple of months to where I had to take command."
738
739[10:40] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "For those of you who are not taking the command part of teh exrcise, it should still be thigns to do, yo uare allowed to atempt different positions which you have profficient cross training to."
740
741[10:40] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Shay- and you did quite well
742
743[10:41] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "And we will all do our best to assist whoever is being in command. Their careers are influenced by this, and this is not the time to play pranks."
744
745[10:42] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "The main force of evil in these simulation are the not all to plesant Zetazoids. They are echnologically equal, if not slightly supeprior to the federation, we do not know of all of thier tech, and >

750
751[10:43] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore raises an eyebrow as well at the possible zetazoid spy briefing them, but says nothing.*
752
753[10:43] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Questions?"
754
755[10:43] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "None, Commander."
756
757[10:44] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -raises her hand-
758
759[10:44] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira?"
760
761[10:44] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -deadpans- I have been turned into a cow...may I be excused?
762
763[10:44] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "No."

766
767[10:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy gives her a look.*
768
769[10:45] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "I even been told there is a horse doign well on another ship, so animal transformations are not viable excuses."
770
771[10:45] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Haven't you heard?  Being transformed into barnyard animals is no longer an excuse to skip duty."
772
773[10:45] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Shay?"
774
775[10:45] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded at Desiree.*
776
777[10:45] [DOIC4] Six@Gonz.0: "Are we in a state of war, or simply competition with the Zetazoids?"
778
779[10:45] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy gives her a look.*
780
781[10:45] [DOIC4] T'sahriv@awendra: *slowly turns her head to look at V'T*
782
783[10:45] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes...of course..must rememebr to commend the Sentinel again for that.
784
785[10:45] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Cold war unless otherwise specified by the individual mission briefing."
786

794
795[10:48] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus raised his hand.*
796
797[10:48] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Blaine?"
798
799[10:48] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Are we going to rochambeau to see who gets to be captain?"
800
801[10:49] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Rocha... what?"
802
803[10:49] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You know, rock paper scissors."
804
805[10:49] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Oh! Well, anyone volunteering to be captain this first run?"
806
807[10:50] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore went to raise his arm up, however, considering what happened last time, he stopped midway and dropped it quite fast.*
808
809[10:50] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked to the others.*  "If no one's going to volunteer, I'll do it."
810
811[10:50] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: There is a secondary less pleasant definition of the game of rochambeau
812
813[10:50] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Great, Anyone wants to be XO?"
814
815[10:51] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore shrugs and raises his hand up now.*
816
817[10:51] [DOIC4] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay stops what she was going to say, and nods towards bore with a smile.*
818
819[10:51] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Might be a good role reversal of... last time."
820
821[10:51] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Perfect. Captain Asada will then fill teh role of CTO. Ensign Rima, you where jsut thrown in to control of security."
822
823[10:52] [DOIC4] Rima@tekken#5904: *She smiled at that* "Yes Ma'am."
824
825[10:52] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Attention to exercise orders."
826
827[10:53] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "You are on extended patrol clsoe to the border zone to the Zetazoid Star-realms. Your ROE is as defiend by standing orders of starfleet."
828
829[10:54] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "For the last few days nothign has happened. It is a quiet journey so far. ACCI has sugested increased Zetazoid probing manuvers several lightyears away from you however."
830
831[10:55] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Captain Blaine, questions?"
832
833[10:55] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *sits at his console and prepares to scan with the phasers*
834
835[10:56] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Are we under any restrictions at present in regard to their borders?"
836
837[10:57] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "We may not cross the border, teh small DMZ Strip is to be a DMZ strp. The federation will nto start the war, but we wil lrespond to agression."
838
839[10:58] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded.*  "Any populated systems close to our position at the DMZ, on either side?"
840
841[10:59] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, several. The border is nto an optimal one. And Command fears that if a war breaks out, thsoe worlds shall fare particulary bad, so lasting peace is prefered. However rummors sugests that the >
842
843[10:59] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: > Zetazoids has used cloaking technology to mount raids lately. Still ahve not been caught colour-handed and there is no evidence."
844
845[11:00] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Understood, I think we're ready unless anyone else has a good question in mind?"
846
847[11:01] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Raises his hand.*
848
849[11:01] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: *Looks to Blaine to grant 'his' crew permission to speak*
850
851[11:02] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He noddded.*  "Go ahead, Ristovski."
852
853[11:02] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I doubt it will have much effect, but better go in as informed as we can be. Any information as to what exactly the zetazoids are probing for?"
854
855[11:02] [DOIC4] T'sahriv@awendra: *marks with a hand that she has a question*
856
857[11:03] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "It is assumed it is for weaknesses in our defense, testign readyness timers and our methods, yet that is not confirmed."
858
859[11:03] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.*
860
861[11:04] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: *Looks at Blaine once more*
862
863[11:05] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Stormy, go ahead."
864
865[11:05] [DOIC4] T'sahriv@awendra: "Will the new command crew be deciding who does what job?"
866
867[11:06] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "No, you get to ask me if you wish to fill a different role which you are cross trained for."
868
869[11:07] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Anythign else?"
870
871[11:08] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Speak now or we have to guess from here on out," *he smirked.*
872
873[11:09] [DOIC4] T'sahriv@awendra: "Ohh what class of ship?"
874
875[11:09] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Blaine, you also get to voluntell a 2o. You will be given an charming galaxy class."
876
877[11:09] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Blaine must done very lvoely to gain such a thing"
878
879[11:10] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Now that's what I like to hear," *he grinned.*
880
881[11:10] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Blaine, are you and your crew ready?"
882
883[11:11] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I am, the rest better be.  Let's get this started."
884
885[11:12] [DOIC4] Desiree@Illuice: "Then get your people dressed, they look like civviestreet, not a lovely gang of officers heading to the border. Take positions in the sim and let me know when you are ready."
886
887[11:12] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You heard her, uniforms on."
888
889[11:13] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: off duty? -tries softly0
890
891[11:13] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Aye, Captain."
892
893[11:13] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Did I stutter, Lieutenant?"  *He couldn't help but grin.*
894
895[11:14] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- No you did not.
896
897[11:14] [DOIC4] V'Tira@Isis.: -goes to change-
898
899[11:14] [DOIC4] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay opens a simulator access window on her padd and changes to simulated duty uniform*
900

904
905[11:15] [DOIC4] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *So did Bore.*
906
907[11:15] [DOIC4] Rima@tekken#5904: *Rima does the same.*
908
909[11:15] [DOIC4] T'sahriv@awendra: *goes the get dressed*
910
911[11:15] [DOIC4] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay waits for bridge simulation to start.*
912
913[11:15] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Oh, right... Captain uniform..."  *He squinted slightly.*  "Computer, Captain rank uniform please."
914
915[11:17] [DOIC4] Six@Gonz.0: 0/
916
917[11:19] [DOIC4] Six@Gonz.0: o/
918
919[11:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus finished playing dress up and walked out onto the holobridge.*  "Now this is more like it."
920
921[11:21] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *sits down in her chair* "Can we blow of the protector and get one of these instead?"
922
923[11:21] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore sits down, rubbing his back.* "Now that seat is comfy... not like those 23rd century mistakes..."
924
925[11:22] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Try not to go to sleep in that comfy seat XO.
926
927[11:22] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Twenty-third century mistake sounds like---"  *He paused, screwing up his face as he remembered it was Serious Time now.*  "Anyway, Number One, is everyone accounted for?"
928
929[11:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sits down and slowly crosses her legs as she leans back and signs into the ACCI orderingup updates and the ZetaZoid borders-
930
931[11:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Looks at Marcus and bore* "Taking a bit of liberties with the pips? I hope you lvie up to the expectatiosn of such promotions" *She smiles* "Any final questions before we start, captain blaine?"
932
933[11:22] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Before elevensiies, lunch, second breakfast, dinner and supper? No chance, Shay."
934
935[11:23] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Everyone is on board, captain, and in position."
936
937[11:23] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Dress for the job you want.  Besides, I figured I'd help people's immersion so they'll take this seriously."
938
939[11:23] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Same."
940
941[11:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "How lovely. when you are ready, say "end log" " *She walks off the bridge*
942
943[11:24] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Wait, won't you be with us, Commaner?"
944
945[11:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Anyway, I think we have the gist of it.  Patrolling our side of the DMZ, Zetazoids might be probing for our weaknesses."  *He nodded at that.*
946
947[11:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I can be, if you ask me nicely."
948
949[11:25] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I have a feeling she'll be with us... in one way or another."  *He grinned at Desiree.*
950
951[11:25] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I just assumed she would be running the opposition."
952
953[11:25] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It's a team building exercise, ain't it? Please, take a position to help tactical, Commander."
954
955[11:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "alright then, XO."
956
957[11:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Brigns up two overlays for tactical, one actually tactical, and one exercise control, which is protected from side glances*
958
959[11:26] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "All the crew is in place, Captain, we have our briefing."
960
961[11:26] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Good initiative, Number One.  Anyway, let's get this started.  Captain's Log... Friday.  Everything's quiet... too quiet.  End log."
962
963[11:27] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He went to sit in the Big Chair.*  "All departments, status report?"
964
965[11:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tactical standing by, Captain."

980
981[11:31] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He glanced behind him at those who hadn't spoken yet, then back over at the viewscreen.*  "While you all work on that, are there any systems close to where we detected probing activity?"
982
983[11:31] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore looks to Stratops at that, for her report.*
984
985[11:33] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Captain, I am picking up a distress signal, civilian."
986
987[11:33] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Play it, Lieutenant."
988
989[11:33] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore closed his eyes for a moment, then opens them.*
990
991[11:33] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Yes sir" *she puts up the signal*

996
997[11:35] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Where exactly is the signal coming from, Ops?"
998
999[11:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He frowned, leaning his elbow on his armrest and leaning his mouth on his fist for a moment before speaking.*  "Denzan?  Is that a system nearby?"
1000
1001[11:36] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *signal is coming from 35* off of our current course.
1002
1003[11:36] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "What's in that direction?  Any colonies, ships?"
1004
1005[11:37] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shey looks up the data in the computer*
1006
1007[11:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *checks tactican scanners in asigned direction*

1012
1013[11:39] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Where is it in relation to the DMZ?"
1014
1015[11:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It is within Federation space.
1016
1017[11:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Three ships are engaged in combat in that system, Captain."
1018
1019[11:40] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Two zetazoid ones and the civilian?"
1020
1021[11:41] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well they're fighting in our space, whomever is attacking whomever we have a right to investigate.  Set a course, red alert."
1022
1023[11:42] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Nods* "I would advise caution, there are rumours of Zetazoid raids within the area." *He says, clearly In character.*
1024
1025[11:42] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay runs a subroutine to monitor outgoing signals now at red alert.*

1029[11:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I agree, forward the distress call to any other Federation ships in the area and advise that we're investigating."
1030
1031[11:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain I recommend we report this incident back to the fleet..and advise them we are heading into intercede
1032
1033[11:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "One civilian ship, Two Altec/Starlab military ships. Altec and Starlab are the two habited planets of the system."
1034
1035[11:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He grinned at V'Tira at that.*
1036
1037[11:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nodded to him at this-
1038
1039[11:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -does as ordered- Sending the full dta packat out now captain
1040
1041[11:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: data*
1042
1043[11:43] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He looked up to Desiree.* "Any previous records of Altec or Starlab hostility to Starfleet?"
1044
1045[11:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If they're in Federation territory, I'd assume they're part of the Federation."
1046
1047[11:44] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "That does not neccessarily mean they are happy about it, Captain."
1048
1049[11:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "None, Captain."
1050
1051[11:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -checks their membership status and or protectorate status-
1052
1053[11:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I'm aware, but if they're Federation citizens I'd hope they'd have a good reason for attacking a civilian ship.  Try getting a hold of the ships as we approach."
1054
1055[11:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And maximum warp, Stormy.  Engage."
1056
1057[11:46] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Aye, sir" *she replies before getting the galaxy glass up to maximum warp*
1058
1059[11:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We have a non agressive treaty with this system...basically it amounts to a defensive pact that allows the Federation free and safe passage through their systema nd claimed space
1060
1061[11:48] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore raises his eyebrow.*
1062
1063[11:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Irony...yes?
1064
1065[11:49] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Indeed.  If they're attackign one of our civilian ships, they've just broken that treaty."
1066
1067[11:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed
1068
1069[11:49] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Exactly..."
1070
1071[11:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or perhaps the civilian ship..has given them cause ...as an alternative suggestion
1072
1073[11:50] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Can we verify that the signal came from a Federation civilian vessel?"
1074
1075[11:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Holohelm] Arriving in the system!
1076
1077[11:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We do not yet know
1078
1079[11:50] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay does her best to verify affiliation of the civilian ship*
1080
1081[11:50] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Exactly. We need to get the details first."
1082
1083[11:50] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well that's why we're coming a-knocking.  Anything from our attempts to hail the... what were they?  Altec and Starlab?"
1084
1085[11:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It is an independent civilian ship known to the federation."
1086
1087[11:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Snding destination to the encoutenr to helm" *Beeps buttons*
1088
1089[11:51] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Galaxy class starship comes out of warp, massively looming over the three ships engaged in ship to ship combat.*
1090
1091[11:51] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Opens the hailing frequencies and attempts to hail*
1092
1093[11:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...knock, knock
1094
1095[11:52] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "No response sir"
1096
1097[11:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious
1098
1099[11:52] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *His brow furrowed.*  "Try hailing the civilian ship."
1100
1101[11:52] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I suggest trying to electronically disable the attacking ships' weapons, captain."
1102
1103[11:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That is a ccommitted act of agression XO
1104
1105[11:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Hold on, let's see what's going on before we do anything.  This is their system after all."
1106
1107[11:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I repaet we do not yet know what has occured
1108
1109[11:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded to V'Tira.*
1110
1111[11:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Takes some note.... Tactically beeps!*
1112
1113[11:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods as well-
1114
1115[11:54] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "My I suggest an open channel addres sir?"
1116
1117[11:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Aye, if neither will answer."
1118
1119[11:55] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *opens a broadcast channel* "Channel open.. if they are capable of receiving, they should hear you."
1120
1121[11:57] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He cleared his throat some.*  "This is Captain Blaine of the U.S.S..."  *A pause.*  "...Valkyria, we're investigating a distress call from this location.  Please respond."
1122
1123[11:58] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *An audio response is heard on the bridge.* This is a Starlabian security matter, do not interfere.
1124
1125[11:58] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore frowns, but lets Marcus speak.*
1126
1127[11:58] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] This is an Atlacian security matter, do not interfere.
1128
1129[11:58] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore frowns, but lets Marcus speak.*
1130
1131[11:58] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] This is an Atlacian security matter, do not interfere.
1132
1133[12:00] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I'm afraid we're obligated to investigate any distress call we receive, if you could just let us know what's going on, we can mark it down and go on our way.  You know how the bureaucrats are.  One..
1134
1135[12:00] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore smirks a bit at the bureaucrat comment.*
1136
1137[12:00] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: thing goes unreported and someone with too much time on their hands starts wailing."
1138
1139[12:01] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: -Quietly- "Admiral Compton is having our ass for this comment of yours, Captain."
1140
1141[12:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quietly listens-
1142
1143[12:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *cehcks hwo the battle is faring*
1144
1145[12:01] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Implying she's not going to make some desk jockey review the playback."  *he muttered back to Bore.*
1146
1147[12:02] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] Do not interfere, we are retrieving a fugitive citizen.
1148
1149[12:02] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay attenuates the mic pick up to only catch things spoken at full voice*
1150
1151[12:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ah,,,now we know why the civilian ship is reluctant to respond
1152
1153[12:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He raised his hands slightly, even if it was an audio-only hail.*  "I have no intention of interfering unless you make me have to do so.  What makes you certain your fugitive is on that vessel?"
1154
1155[12:04] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay attempts to cut through to the civilian ship to establish coms*
1156
1157[12:04] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] We have intercepted transmissions.
1158
1159[12:04] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Captian, This seem to be a three way engagement, teh Civian ship is barely maintaining impulse, shields at 25% and hull at 56%"
1160
1161[12:05] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: -Quietly- "We can ask for the transmissions to be sent to us for proof, it may be easy to solve."
1162
1163[12:06] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Sir, I have the civilian ship, coms in the clear, would you like to hear their side?'
1164
1165[12:06] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Now that would be very compelling proof.  But that ship is taking quite a beating, and it looks like you're fighting on two fronts as it is.  Can I assume both your planets have reasons to want...
1166
1167[12:06] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: this fugitive?"  *He made a motion for Six to put them on hold for now.*
1168
1169[12:07] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] There are multiple fugitives on board but we have the rightful claim.
1170
1171[12:07] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Might I ask what crime they're accused of?"
1172
1173[12:08] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay coms text to the civilian ship --Please identify, ship, number aboard and commander.  Stand by for communication.--*
1174
1175[12:08] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] Theft.
1176
1177[12:09] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus glanced at the others with that.*
1178
1179[12:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...of?
1180
1181[12:09] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] The Ring of Thaseia.
1182
1183[12:09] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: -Quietly- "Ask what is the other planet's ship's stake in this."
1184
1185[12:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And I take it the other planet also has claim to this ring."
1186
1187[12:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded to Bore.*
1188
1189[12:10] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] They have no legitimate claim of any kind.
1190
1191[12:10] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay sends to command stations - stated two aboard the civ ship, commanded by 'Denzan'
1192
1193[12:11] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus bit his tongue for a moment before nodding to Shay.*  "Let's hear what these supposed thieves have to say."
1194
1195[12:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Captain, Civilian ship is barely holding on, severe hull fractures."
1196
1197[12:12] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: -Quietly- "Open channel, ask them to cease fire while Starfleet mediates."
1198
1199[12:12] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "is my suggestion."
1200
1201[12:12] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If you want any chance of recovering that ring, destroying the ship isn't going to help.  If anything, you risk blowing up the very thing you're fighting for."
1202
1203[12:13] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You need to hold your fire, maybe there's a way we can sort this out."
1204
1205[12:13] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Opens the channel* "Channel open sir" *she sends an official cease fire request to the other ships, and offer of mediation as written text
1206
1207[12:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: =nods at Marcu's comment-
1208
1209[12:14] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] We will not allow the ring to fall into their hands.
1210
1211[12:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We could extend shields?
1212
1213[12:14] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You'd rather it be destroyed?"
1214
1215[12:14] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voice] It is unfortunate.
1216
1217[12:15] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He set his jaw for a moment, then nodded to Baker.*  "Extend our shields over the civilian vessel and lock on with a tractor beam.  We'll say we're holding on to them to settle which planet gets...
1218
1219[12:15] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: the fugitive."
1220
1221[12:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: A wise precaution..allow time for cooler heads to prevail
1222
1223[12:16] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "Recommend a small security detachment to be prepared to head onto the fugitiv ship, in case they try anything. Keep the security on our ship for now, though."
1224
1225[12:17] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Extending shields."
1226
1227[12:17] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Beeps buttons*
1228
1229[12:17] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Sir, put the aggressors on hold or join the channels?" *she says soft to avoid transmitting*
1230
1231[12:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Prepare them and have them on standby in the transporter room.  Now let's put the aggressors on hold, they can fight each other in the meantime.  I want to hear the 'fugitives' out."
1232
1233[12:18] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Galaxy class' shields extend over the civilian ship as the tractor beam pulls it in. Both military ship take up offensive positions in front of them.*
1234
1235[12:19] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *She follows through with requests*
1236
1237[12:19] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore nods.* =^= "XO Ristovski to *random security officer* "Please prepare a team of four and have them standby in transporter room two, have them be prepared for crowd control, and ready to beam >

1239[12:19] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Out on our order."
1240
1241[12:20] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Holosecurity] =^= Aye aye!
1242
1243[12:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Curious two dimensional thinking
1244
1245[12:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Mind explaining, V'Tira?"
1246
1247[12:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Moving to our bow ..together to take up offensive postions...remaining on the same plane level as our own position
1248
1249[12:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...-sighs-  a beating of chests as it were Captain
1250
1251[12:22] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Tactical, we greatly outmatch them, in term of combat capabilities, yes?"
1252
1253[12:22] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "At us, or at each other?"
1254
1255[12:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes XO."
1256
1257[12:23] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Let them maneuver for now, then. Beating of chests, indeed."
1258
1259[12:23] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Would their weapons have any effect on our shields in their current state?"
1260
1261[12:23] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "sir, you have Denzen waiting."
1262
1263[12:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Both competing to impress us Captain...The XO is correct...they are trying to outmatch one another as they posture for against us...they know they are weaker...they do not iwsh to appear weak to one
1264
1265[12:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: another
1266
1267[12:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Didn't I already say to put them on?"
1268
1269[12:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "There would have effects, especially with our shields extended, hwoever it would be a slow one most likely."
1270
1271[12:24] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: ((Denzan))
1272
1273[12:24] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Yes sir.. the channel is open"
1274
1275[12:25] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We've got time to make everyone calm down and talk it out then.  Mister Denzen, this is Captain Blaine of the U.S.S. Valkyria.  We picked up your distress call, do you have any casualties?"
1276
1277[12:26] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *This time, the viewscreen displays a picture. Fuzzy and cutting out at various intervals, the crew can see a battered interior along with a relatively young humanaoid male sitting down.* None at the
1278
1279[12:26] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: moment...it was pretty touch and go before you arrived.
1280
1281[12:28] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I can imagine, it looks like your ship's in pretty rough shape.  The Altac and Starlab out there say you've stolen some sort of artifact from them, a Ring of Thaseia?"
1282
1283[12:29] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Humanoid] They're insane. The ring is an excuse to harrang us in front of the court of whoever catches us.
1284
1285[12:30] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "So you're saying that you don't have the ring?  Be honest with me, now.  If you don't give me all the details I can't help you out of this one.  They have legitimate claim to be able to apprehend...
1286
1287[12:30] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: you in their system."
1288
1289[12:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [afk a sec]
1290
1291[12:32] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay monitors communications to/from aggressor ships, watchful for 'back up' *
1292
1293[12:32] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Humanoid] The ring is ours, I am telling you they are using it as an excuse to prosecute us.
1294
1295[12:33] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: -Quietly- "Ops? Can you write to the Altac and Starlab ships, ask them to give you background on what the ring is."
1296
1297[12:34] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I don't think they are interested in helping...
1298
1299[12:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "So all three of you claim ownership of it."  *He scratched his beard some.*  "Who are you?  What planet are you from?"
1300
1301[12:34] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed, they are not. I want to hear what the ring means to them."
1302
1303[12:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "XO. I fear we may have made an near enemy by shielding the civilian ship. Futher enhancing the urge to not be helpful."
1304
1305[12:35] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay runs database query, including local connection on --Ring of Thaseia?--*
1306
1307[12:36] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Desi.* "I still want to hear what is so important of this ring. Historical background may help us make out the situation better."
1308
1309[12:38] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Send a message to the Altac and Starlab ships informing them that we've decided that mediation is necessary to make sure there's no unnecessary loss of life and property and to stand by for...

1312
1313[12:38] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Humanoid I am Denzan, of the planet Stralab.
1314
1315[12:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Understood, XO. Just saying I do not think they ahve -any- wish what so ever to give that information to us now."
1316
1317[12:38] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *sending to command stations - Ring of Thaseia - item of national heritage on the planet straleb. it is passed down the royal bloodline for marriage--*

1320
1321[12:39] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Of course, Commander. I merely wish to try the angle..." *He raised an eyebrow at the info from Six and resends it to Desi.* -Quietly- "We are dealing with a matter of planetary cultural importance."
1322
1323[12:39] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And what is your position on your home planet, Denzan?"  *He looked at the chair console briefly.*  "If you have the ring, you must be of royal blood or close to one of them."
1324
1325[12:40] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Message sent, again - to both aggressor ships, this time "'Captain Blaine has declared that mediation is necessary to ensure a limited loss of propery and uneccessary loss of life.  We >

1328
1329[12:41] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A loud sigh is heard.* I am the son of Bushnell, who rules the planet.
1330
1331[12:42] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Captain, request to mediate this situation has been accepted by both parties."
1332
1333[12:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded at that.*  "I see... and the ring is one given to royals in marriage, correct?  Now, I'm thinking if you have both planets coming after you, the person you gave it to is... Altac?"
1334
1335[12:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Shay, thank them for their cooperation."
1336
1337[12:44] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] What?
1338
1339[12:44] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay sends to both parties = thank you for your cooperation, please stand by.--*
1340
1341[12:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Maybe I went out on the wrong limb there.  Sorry, it's my first day."  *he couldn't help but smirk.*  "Mind explaining in your own terms why they're coming for you?"
1342
1343[12:45] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Denzan tuirns to someone offscreen, and in a moment a young humanoid woman comes on screen.*(
1344
1345[12:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He gave a Bore a 'called it' look.*
1346
1347[12:46] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore nods.*
1348
1349[12:48] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] They do not like where the ring is going.
1350
1351[12:49] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: -Quietly- "Ops? Could you get me a history of Altac and Starlab's poltiical relations?"
1352
1353[12:49] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He sucked on his teeth momentarily.*  "Ahh... the Altac had a different bride in mind, I take it?"
1354
1355[12:49] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] Both of them.
1356
1357[12:50] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay requests via the database and local connection, a brief history of Altac and Starlab's political relations, as well as a query to both ships, seperately, the results forwarded automatically.
1358
1359[12:51] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well, I think it's rather simple, then.  If the only claim they have to arrest you is that you have the ring, why don't you let them have it so you can go on with your lives?  It might be a...
1360
1361[12:51] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sent to command stations -- In a perpetual state of war until the Federation meditated a ceasefire. Multiple diplomatic incidents reported since then.--
1362
1363[12:51] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: thing of sentiment or a point of pride, but is that worth your lives?"
1364
1365[12:52] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore sends back to Ops.* "Are the planets close enough for you to be able to pull me from their news channel any news of coming royal marriages?"
1366
1367[12:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] Once they obtain it they would find another excuse.
1368
1369[12:52] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] Once they obtain it they would find another excuse.
1370
1371[12:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus rubbed his chin some.*  "I see.  They've both agreed to allow us to mediate, so here's what I'm going to do for you.  I'll open the channel to them both and we'll get this sorted out in a...
1372
1373[12:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: way that keeps you safe and satisfies the other parties, okay?"
1374
1375[12:55] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] Alright.
1376
1377[12:55] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Give us one moment."  *He motioned to Shay to put them on hold as well.*
1378
1379[12:55] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *shay attempts to tap local news feeds, filtering for Royal or State engagements, marriages, weddings or intentions of them*
1380
1381[12:56] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Channel Paused* "Ok to speak"
1382
1383[12:56] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "XO, nothing broadcast"
1384
1385[12:56] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "How are we all feeling about this so far?"  *he looked at the others.*
1386
1387[12:57] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Pretty bad. Prince possibly ran off with a peasant girl, instead of the Altaci princess he was promised to."
1388
1389[12:57] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "DId he not say he was STralab?"
1390
1391[12:58] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: 'In many cultures, that is an offence punishable by dead, and could lead to war."
1392
1393[12:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe the mediation is the more logical route to take. We have leverage..the ring is returned....everyone goes abut their way
1394
1395[12:58] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Yes, a prince of the Stralab."
1396
1397[12:58] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "That is why the Altaci ship is probably here. He is Starlab, and he may have been promiced to an Altaci."
1398
1399[12:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Return the ring...cold war restablished...everyone goes home.
1400
1401[12:58] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Unless she, is someone important on their world"
1402
1403[12:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes....there is that
1404
1405[12:59] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded to V'Tira.*  "I agree.  I want to see if we can't have the ring returned and a promise made to let us escort them to the nearest starbase."
1406
1407[12:59] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes."
1408
1409[12:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: My parameters were on the basis she is not important as he
1410
1411[12:59] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed, Captain, exile for them both may be the best case scenario."
1412
1413[12:59] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I suggest having deligations brought on board sir, less likely to reengage in hostilities this way."
1414
1415[12:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I concur with Shay's suggestion
1416
1417[1:00] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Ops, they could also see it as us taking hostages, in case we decide to solve it by force."
1418
1419[1:00] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Having a meat shield, so to speak."
1420
1421[1:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Deligtions aboard us...means no one shoots at us or their 'happy couple'...diffusing the situation further
1422
1423[1:00] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We've technically already taken a hostage, the prince's ship is in our tractor beam."
1424
1425[1:00] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Delegations, as in invited sir, not taken."
1426
1427[1:00] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "While I concur, it may send off the wrong vibe to two very unhappy kingdoms.... but it is the captain's decision."
1428
1429[1:01] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I understood, Ops."
1430
1431[1:01] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "That does not mean they will see it the same way, and not as a cheap trick.
1432
1433[1:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Shooting at one another is not a pleasant vibe for anyone
1434
1435[1:02] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "That... wasn't what I was referring to, Shay.  Extend an invitation to let them each send a delegation.  Let the prince know he has the right to represent himself, too."
1436
1437[1:02] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Get security ready for guests, and someone make the conference room look nice."
1438
1439[1:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...sit all three parties down for a proper roundtable
1440
1441[1:02] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Sir, I would suggest also, bringing the civilian ship on board, and at least seeing to some repairs while mediation goes on."
1442
1443[1:02] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Security, prepare for honour guards for three diplomatic delegations."
1444
1445[1:02] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Security] =^= On my way!
1446
1447[1:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Repairs could be affected as well -to Shay=
1448
1449[1:02] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *our
1450
1451[1:03] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Mess staff, please go set up the conference room for a high-level meeting, and prepare refreshments."
1452
1453[1:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Takes notes on her console*
1454
1455[1:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Let's hold off on doing anything active to any of the ships for now.  That would show favouritism in the upcoming sit-down."
1456
1457[1:03] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay prepares to open channels both ships, split channel on the screen.* "I suggest you invite them aboard personally sir."
1458
1459[1:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Chef] =^= On it!
1460
1461[1:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I of course meant the civilian ship while it is in the hanger deck
1462
1463[1:04] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Sure.  Before we go, life support is still functioning on the Prince's ship, right?"
1464
1465[1:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes.
1466
1467[1:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: To even the odds as Shay suggested
1468
1469[1:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is only logical should talks go ...south
1470
1471[1:05] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "As the Captain said, it may show favouritism, I am with him on this one."
1472
1473[1:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I already decided not to do anything active to any of the ships, Lieutenant.  If repairs are going to be made from us, they'll be made after the talks."
1474
1475[1:05] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore nods approvingly.*
1476
1477[1:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I disagree -to Bore- it is only logical to keep our ooptions open when the oppurtunity presents itself
1478
1479[1:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: As you wish captain
1480
1481[1:06] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Taking the ship on board and providing basic safety repairs to avoid explosion or damage to our hangar sir?"
1482
1483[1:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Is somehow seen as..favoritism
1484
1485[1:06] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We'll keep our shields around them, that will keep them safe for now."  *He smacked his armrest.*  "I already decided what we're doing with the ship, stop phrasing it in different ways trying to...
1486
1487[1:07] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: get me to change my mind!"
1488
1489[1:07] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Captain." *He whispers*
1490
1491[1:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sits back primly and folds her hands over her knees-
1492
1493[1:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Beeps console taking notes once more*
1494
1495[1:08] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Seems to consider something, nodding then whispering back.*
1496
1497[1:09] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He stood up, performing a Picard maneuver.*  "Open the channel."
1498
1499[1:10] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay activates* "ON screen captain."
1500
1501[1:12] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *shey was setting up split screen for the two aggressors*
1502
1503[1:12] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *On the viewscreen, a spliscreen view is shown. Two elder male humanoids appeared on screen, looking very cross.*
1504
1505[1:13] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus waited for them to come on before offering a bearded smile.*  "I'm glad we can all put down our arms long enough to agree to talk things out like the wise adults we are.  I'd like to...
1506
1507[1:14] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: formally extend you all an invitation to come aboard my ship for a mediation, to settle this matter without any more unnecessary fighting."
1508
1509[1:16] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bushnell] This is obsene. Straleb has clear legal standing here and should be free of outside interference.
1510
1511[1:17] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Zebin] Legal? Your spawn went and kidnapped my daughter, you zarter!
1512
1513[1:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He raised his hands with that.*  "Sirs, how about we save it for the courtroom?  If your claims are as just as you think they are, it would be a piece of cake to prove it."
1514
1515[1:19] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *They huff in unision and look to Marcus.* Fine.
1516
1517[1:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "See?  We can all use our words, not our fists.  Denzan, you're also welcome to come aboard to represent yourself."
1518
1519[1:20] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] Let's get this over this.
1520
1521[1:20] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *with
1522
1523[1:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Great.  Now, as a token of our appreciation for agreeing to settle this calmly, and an assurance that nothing untoward will happen to any of you, I'd like to offer engineer teams to any vessel that..
1524
1525[1:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: sustained damage during the fight.  Would anyone like to take advantage of that?"  *He glanced briefly at V'Tira.*
1526
1527[1:22] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both men shake their heads.*
1528
1529[1:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to him-
1530
1531[1:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Very well, then.  Signal us when your delegations are prepared to come aboard."
1532
1533[1:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -is wiating for the call to end as she looks to Marcus-
1534
1535[1:26] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Voices] We are ready.
1536
1537[1:26] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded to Baker.*  "Let's get them over here, make sure security keeps them well separated until we can get them in the conference room."
1538
1539[1:26] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Shall I have the transporter room intiate transport, and of whom?"
1540
1541[1:27] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "They're going to signal us with that, aren't they?"
1542
1543[1:28] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "They said they were ready."
1544
1545[1:28] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...So figure it out?  Isn't that your job?"
1546
1547[1:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Energizing...
1548
1549[1:28] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Yes sir. "
1550
1551[1:29] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both men dematerialize from the screen, and the comm feed is cut.*
1552
1553[1:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain...a moment?
1554
1555[1:29] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Yes?"
1556
1557[1:29] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Mess staff, is the conference room ready?"
1558
1559[1:29] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Channel closed*
1560
1561[1:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: With all due respect...in regards to the repairs of the ship in distress. I paraphrase Interstellar laws and occurances...
1562
1563[1:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: "Every qualified person who is the master of a vessel in any region of space, on receiving a signal from any source that a person, or a vessel  shall proceed with all speed to render assistance and

1569[1:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: shall, if possible, inform the persons in distress or the sender of the signal.

1575[1:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: be returned to space worthiness."
1576
1577[1:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am refering to the outmathed and heavily damaged civilian ship
1578
1579[1:31] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "V'Tira, I get it, but you were too damned busy talking over me that you didn't listen.  I offered them assistance and they refused to take it."
1580
1581[1:31] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: =^= "Security, escort the delegates to the cnference room."
1582
1583[1:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They two agreessors did
1584
1585[1:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: what of the civilian ship?
1586
1587[1:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The one that called for help
1588
1589[1:32] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "He was on the line and didn't take it either..."
1590
1591[1:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Security] =^= Aye aye1
1592
1593[1:32] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "So again, what more am I to do?"
1594
1595[1:32] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *She has them transported to a different deck and transporter room, advising security to escort and safeguard until called for.*
1596
1597[1:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [was he? i thought only the two agressors were]
1598
1599[1:38] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "The honour guards are on their way to the conference room, Captain."

1601[1:39] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "With the delegates

1603[1:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Shall Shay make the offer to the civlian ship as well while you meet with the delagates sir?

1605[1:41] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I said all ships that took damage, that includes them.  Send it."  *He looked at Bore.*  "You have the conn, make sure they don't do anything stupid while we're in conference."
1606
1607[1:41] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Understood. If something grave happens, you will get a text."

1618
1619[1:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Aye Captain
1620
1621[1:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I want everyone in the conference room, we're going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they can be trusted not to try to kill each other in the presence of Starfleet security staff."

1625[1:45] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I do not like you overriding my orders to security earlier on, ops. -Without- the captain's consent too."
1626
1627[1:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Let's hope we can cool this war back down."  *He turned to head for the door, letting Bore handle it.*

1634
1635[1:46] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He gave V'Tira a look*

1642
1643[1:47] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Anything you were able to figure out about these planets that I should know?"  *He went to sit down.*
1644
1645[1:48] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] They were at war for centuries.
1646
1647[1:48] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: [Ha! tke that chair!!!]
1648
1649[1:49] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The two older humanoids enter the room with their security escorts, looking just as cross as before.*
1650
1651[1:49] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Right, and now they may very well be about to start it up again."
1652
1653[1:50] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Time tends to erode the memories and horrors of full on war
1654
1655[1:50] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Leading to the folly of its return
1656
1657[1:50] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bushnell] Well, we have done as you asked.
1658
1659[1:50] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I gave direct orders. As the XO, only the Captain can override them, and he did not."
1660
1661[1:51] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "
1662
1663[1:51] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He rose as the men entered.*  "Sirs.  Thank you for taking the time to come.  If you would please sit on either side of the table, do you want any water or other liquid?"
1664
1665[1:51] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The two men sit on opposite sides of each other.* No.
1666
1667[1:52] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The younger humanoid, Denzan, enters the room with a young humanoid woman right behind him.*
1668
1669[1:52] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: small rocks to throw at one another?
1670
1671[1:52] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -said dry deadpanned-
1672
1673[1:52] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Alright."  *He sank back down into the chair, eyeing V'Tira and then looking to Denzan.*
1674
1675[1:52] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I am not aguing XO, only asking which order you are speaking of."
1676
1677[1:53] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "When the delegates were beamed in, I ordered security to escort them to the conference room."
1678
1679[1:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bushnell] Are you ready to end this charade and return home?
1680
1681[1:53] [DOIC2] Desiree@Illuice: *takes a seat*
1682
1683[1:53] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *to Denzan*
1684
1685[1:53] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Denzen and the woman with him, were not yet beamed in sir.  I didn't override any orders."
1686
1687[1:53] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Marcus and says softly- Dad
1688
1689[1:53] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He gave a slight nod in return.*
1690
1691[1:54] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Zebin] Finally, we can retrieve you from this disgusting vermin and return home.
1692
1693[1:54] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The woman lets out a string of high pitched words that are not translated at Zebin.*
1694
1695[1:55] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus cleared his throat.*  "Let's try and avoid trading insults, alright?  You're all my guests for this mediation, and I'm not going to tolerate my guests being spoken to like that.  We're all...
1696
1697[1:56] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: old enough to keep decorum, aren't we?"
1698
1699[1:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both parents glare angrily at Marcus.*
1700
1701[1:57] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] It's no use, I'm afraid, captain. These two will fight each other over the rotation around our sun.
1702
1703[1:57] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I'm only saying, if you want your kid to make good choices, you have to give them a good example to look up to.  Trust me on that one."
1704
1705[1:58] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both of the supposed elder adults in the room huff at that and lean back in their chairs.*
1706
1707[1:58] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Now."  *he placed his palms on the table.*  "You both claim that the reason for attacking them is that they stole a royal ring, is that right?"
1708
1709[1:58] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow-
1710
1711[2:00] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Zedin] That is what he would have you believe. I don't care about his ring, I am here for my daughter.
1712
1713[2:00] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bushnell] ...who freely ran off from you with my son and the ring!
1714
1715[2:00] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Captain...i do believe there is a logical solution..given neither side can ...support their off spring's mutual feelings
1716
1717[2:01] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Let's hear it, V'Tira."
1718
1719[2:01] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Nor let go of their heated emtions regarding one another
1720
1721[2:01] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: I propose...to allow both worlds to share in the justice that they seek and to maintain balance..-looks down the table to the parents and rulers of their worlds-
1722
1723[2:02] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bushnell] What does that mean?
1724
1725[2:02] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Each world gets a fugative to punish...to prevent their subjects from dying in a war that can only lead to the deaths of millions
1726
1727[2:03] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Each side offers the other ..their own child...the Prince to face her parents punishment...while the daughter to his parents...to face the justice they demand..both worlds get what they wish and war
1728
1729[2:03] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: is logiclly avoided...since they have both declared their childtren fugatives
1730
1731[2:03] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Both worlds are then satsified
1732
1733[2:03] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked at V'Tira thoughtfully.*  "Mhm, since the princess has broken Straleb law, it's only reasonable she be turned over to them.  And vice versa for the prince."
1734
1735[2:04] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed
1736
1737[2:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Denzan] Hey, I didn't agree to this!
1738
1739[2:04] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Logical and efficient and well within Starfleet and the Federationbn laws
1740
1741[2:04] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -to the prince- You are a fugative in Federation Space
1742
1743[2:04] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The prince tries to make a run for it.*
1744
1745[2:04] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He held up a hand to Denzen.*  "Would that satisfy you both?  After all, you were perfectly willing to destroy their ship if we hadn't shielded them."|
1746
1747[2:05] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Security," *he said simply.*
1748
1749[2:05] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -doesnt look as he does so as marcus and security have that well in hand-
1750
1751[2:06] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Security does their job, restraining Denzan as he and the woman flip the fuck out. Bushnell sighs, rubbing his nose with a finger before replying.* It would be acceptable.
1752
1753[2:06] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Zedin] How do I know he won't just steal him back?
1754
1755[2:06] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...one can only image the horrors one's rivals would inflict on their other's chld
1756
1757[2:06] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Justice...cold and logical
1758
1759[2:06] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods-
1760
1761[2:07] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It would?  You'd be willing to sacrifice your own son in order to keep hold of your anger?"
1762
1763[2:07] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bushnell] He's not going to do anything as long as I have his daughter.
1764
1765[2:08] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Marcus- What would have them do? Accept the fact that two of their rvials nations can coexsist and love one another
1766
1767[2:08] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Scandel -says dryly-
1768
1769[2:09] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Why I am sure their children when they come of age to assume the throne will not be in any way over emotional about what their parents do here tonight
1770
1771[2:09] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Oh, yes.  It's not like this is a prime moment to lay down one's differences."  *He gave the men flat looks.*  "Come on, you guys.  The solution is obvious here.  A royal marriage is as perfect...
1772
1773[2:10] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: a reason as any to get a non-aggression pact going.  To ensure that both your worlds can work together and put the grudes of the past behind them."
1774
1775[2:12] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both men lean back in their chairs, pondering what Marcus just said.*
1776
1777[2:13] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And what's better, they actually -like- each other.  Enough to risk all this to be together.  Think of what a powerful symbol they'll be for your people."
1778
1779[2:13] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bushnell] My grandfather would have rather died than see this sort of union...
1780
1781[2:14] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Yeah, well my dad encouraged me to tag buildings and rob other kids.  Sometimes, your forebears are wrong about things."
1782
1783[2:15] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Zedin] I agree...on one condition.
1784
1785[2:16] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And what would that be?"
1786
1787[2:16] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Zedin] The wedding takes place on Atlac.
1788
1789[2:16] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Bushnell] That is outrageous!
1790
1791[2:17] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Gentlemen!  Come on, now.  I'm sure your planets would both enjoy the opportunity to show their generosity by hosting an event each."
1792
1793[2:18] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps then the honeymoon can take place on Starlab then
1794
1795[2:18] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: a trade off...the joining on one world..the first a a couple on the other
1796
1797[2:18] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: it is only logical
1798
1799[2:19] [DOIC2] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I was going to suggest Risa, but that could work."  *He nodded at V'Tira.*
1800
1801[2:19] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: and fair to both worlds
1802
1803[2:19] [DOIC2] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Marcus-
1804
1805[2:19] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Both men scrunch their faces slightly as they look over at Marcus after this suggestion. However, their faces soften slighty as they listen to V'Tira. Once she is done speaking, the simulation vanish
1806
1807[2:19] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: vanishes, leaving them with an empty holodeck.*
1808
1809[2:19] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore falls on his ass from the seat.* "OW!"
1810
1811[2:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus looked up as they transitioned out.*  "Guess that means we won."
1812
1813[2:20] [DOIC2] Desiree@Illuice: *Stands up* "Well then, Gather your cre around."
1814
1815[2:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He chuckled.*  "I think they just became your crew again, but sure.  Come on, guys."
1816
1817[2:21] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "So... did you get them to kiss and make up?"
1818
1819[2:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Marcus stood in the way of me being a bitch
1820
1821[2:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Sorry," *he chuckled at V'Tira.*
1822
1823[2:21] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "A bitch in the good, bad or mixed way?"
1824
1825[2:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to him-
1826
1827[2:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Is Shay comming?"
1828
1829[2:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -just looks at Bore a moment-
1830
1831[2:22] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Shrugs to V'Tira.*
1832
1833[2:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It was a solid play...the captin spikd the ball ver well
1834
1835[2:23] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I could kiss him, if he wasn't so beardy."
1836
1837[2:23] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He smiled.*  "I just did it how I thought my last captain would've."
1838
1839[2:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks away..nope wont notice the beard...nopenopenope-
1840
1841[2:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Other reflections?"
1842
1843[2:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "And you're just jealous because my beard looks good."  *he stroked his grown out beard.*
1844
1845[2:25] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Nah, I just don't like kissing beards." *He then shrugs at Desi.* "As one with the most command experience... I think the reflections are yours to share?"
1846
1847[2:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I have relfections, yet it tends to be better to ask thsoe invovled first before providing feedback."
1848
1849[2:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I thought despite one descrepancy that was caught...we did well
1850
1851[2:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *nods*
1852
1853[2:27] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I think we got the best outcome possible in this, not quite perfect but we stuck the landing."
1854
1855[2:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: the crew worked...largely well together
1856
1857[2:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Did the scenario feel realistic, beside the point of made up factions?"
1858
1859[2:28] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded.*
1860
1861[2:28] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Very. Just like the crazy cr... stuff we encounter."
1862
1863[2:28] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Seemed like a classic tale of warring kingdoms and star-crossed lovers."
1864
1865[2:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [is this ab's bridge or yours Illy??]
1866
1867[2:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: (ABs )
1868
1869[2:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [poor Shay left the ship she neds an nvite back]
1870
1871[2:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Was it easy?"
1872
1873[2:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Shay- The parents..were most stubborn
1874
1875[2:33] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I was not there for the big argument in the conference room, but I would imagine it was not."
1876
1877[2:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not believe it should have reached such a point to begin with
1878
1879[2:33] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Expected, my parents were stubborn too
1880
1881[2:34] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "but they never shot at me"
1882
1883[2:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Once I figured out what was going on, it really became a question of just making them see the obvious path."
1884
1885[2:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And before that? When you first got the distress call?"
1886
1887[2:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed. -thinks- I am unsure..i believe my father may have tried once...but clearly logic won over.
1888
1889[2:35] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "The situation ith the distress call was stresful, but I believe the Captain handled it very well."
1890
1891[2:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We had an obligation to respond to the distress call.  I suppose this is when you tell me that diverting to check on the situation made something happen with the Zetazoids?"
1892
1893[2:36] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "We had an obligation to answer the distress call.  I thought it was a ruse to keep use off track at first."
1894
1895[2:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Shrugs* "Command is about taking actions without nessesarily knowing the 'right' choise, Then living with the consequences. Would it matter if I told you the Zetazoids invaded or not?
1896
1897[2:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed
1898
1899[2:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Might I add something Desiree?
1900
1901[2:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Go ahead."
1902
1903[2:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do belive Marcus addresssed this...by alerting Starfleet he was responding to the distress call..the fleet if it had redundancy ont the boarder...would cover our gap
1904
1905[2:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: So he did address that possibilty...this was also brought up by Bore, myself and Shay during the initial decision making procress
1906
1907[2:38] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Not to mention, if the systems were that close to the DMZ, now they'll have a unified front against the Zetazoids if they -do- invade."
1908
1909[2:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "If starfleet replacement would come in time is also an uncertainty, yet tindeed it was thought of, which matters in itself."
1910
1911[2:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Part and partial to making command decisions...a course has to be set
1912
1913[2:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Once chosnen we then deal with th aftermath
1914
1915[2:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "For thsoe interested, there was no known invasion of the Zetazoids. And we have a few holoexercises to go, lettign various people try command, among other things, which all will take palce in the >
1916
1917[2:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ,,,,a ...few to...go
1918
1919[2:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > same fictive Zetazoid universe. And each exercise will have its consequences tie in to the next. "
1920
1921[2:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: 2Yes V'Tira, Do restrain your entusiasm."
1922
1923[2:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: But...we won
1924
1925[2:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Did you meet any Zetazoids?"
1926
1927[2:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: In theory i mustve have in that universe
1928
1929[2:41] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He let out a breath.*  "They really don't want to send us out to help with the Xert until we prove we can behave, huh?"
1930
1931[2:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Muteny, even simulated ones, tends to put you very far down on the list."
1932
1933[2:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I was not there however
1934
1935[2:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and i have been punished for my real one
1936
1937[2:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I believe when the call comes, we will be takign over duties closer to home as our ship is particulary bad suited for such a long journey."
1938
1939[2:42] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "...Real one?" *He looks to V'T*
1940
1941[2:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Focus."
1942
1943[2:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Bore- Yes
1944
1945[2:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Fair enough, I guess..."  *he yawned.*
1946
1947[2:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -focuses-
1948
1949[2:43] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He nods and look back to Desi*
1950
1951[2:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The purpsoe of this contined universe also serves to highlight that command decisions does not only have to do with here and now to do, they have lasting reprecussions, something simulations tend >
1952
1953[2:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > to not get trough. Yuo save the day, you are the hero, and nothing more with that."
1954
1955[2:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I will soon let you get back to some well deserved rest, however I wonder did any of you feel somethign that we as a team can improve? Somethign which was not good, or can be better?"
1956
1957[2:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -raises her hand=
1958
1959[2:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira?"
1960
1961[2:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Again, do my chances of being excused for being turned into a cow increase were i to posses a doctor's note?
1962
1963[2:46] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I don't understand, cow?"
1964
1965[2:47] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It's a four-legged animal from Earth that they make cheeseburgers out of."
1966
1967[2:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "No. But Thank you for volunteering for extra duty."
1968
1969[2:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Does the extra duty excuse me from these simulations?
1970
1971[2:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "No."
1972
1973[2:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I see..then you are welcome
1974
1975[2:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Anyone with actual feedback to the simulation in question?"
1976
1977[2:47] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Eh. Since I will probably have extra duty to pull too, due to my previous stunt, I volunteer to help her out."
1978
1979[2:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to that-
1980
1981[2:48] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I know what a cow is, but why do you think you are a cow?"
1982
1983[2:48] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He gave Bore a look.*
1984
1985[2:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Shay- He thinks he is a cow as welll -looks to Bore-
1986
1987[2:49] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay looks baffled and concernsed*
1988
1989[2:49] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore shrugs at Marcus, whipsering.*
1990
1991[2:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "People. I am sure we are all eager to head to the lounge, or bed, or have reports to write, Lets drop the cow, focus and get done."
1992
1993[2:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -drops the cow as ordered-
1994
1995[2:49] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore was never holding one in the first place.*
1996
1997[2:49] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I have nothing to add."
1998
1999[2:49] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Neither do I."
2000
2001[2:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not either
2002
2003[2:50] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *shakes her head*
2004
2005[2:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Good, Blaine, I found your performeance in teh situation well. You took a decision, you stuck with it, you listened to your officer, eyt hwen made a decision you held to it."
2006
2007[2:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "An important lesson is that it is often better to do something mostly good now, then wait to logn for the perfect plan. Equally so >
2008
2009[2:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > it is better to do something mostly good together, then to have 10 people all striving for perfection in ten different directions. And you handeled such well."
2010
2011[2:51] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Thank you, Commander."  *He couldn't hide a smile.*
2012
2013[2:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Anyone has any closing remarks... -on the topic-"
2014
2015[2:52] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "No, Commander."
2016
2017[2:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -starts to raise her hand and then drops it a the last part-
2018
2019[2:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No Commander, I do not
2020
2021[2:52] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shook his head.*
2022
2023[2:52] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *shakes her head*
2024
2025[2:53] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *He remembers something and raised his hand.*
2026
2027[2:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Ristovski?"
2028
2029[2:53] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Did I mess it up?"
2030
2031[2:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Ask you captain."
2032
2033[2:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Your
2034
2035[2:53] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Looks to Marcus.* "Did I mess it up... captain?"
2036
2037[2:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I didn't see anything that I'd call 'messing it up.'"
2038
2039[2:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Political to the end."
2040
2041[2:54] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Performance grading, 1-10?"
2042
2043[2:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Apricot
2044
2045[2:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Ristovski, you were fine.  I'm not going to give you a grade."
2046
2047[2:54] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Cool... apricot?"
2048
2049[2:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It's a kind of fruit."
2050
2051[2:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Well doen all of you! Go and rest or enjoy yourself, well earned, more exercises tomorrow so do not enjoy the lougne -to- much. V'tira, Detention. Rest of you, Dismissed."
2052
2053[2:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -opens her mouth to speak and then closes it-
2054
2055[2:55] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus nodded, then turned to head back to his Citadel room for some KWC.*
2056
2057[2:55] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Thank you, I will go check on the doctor."
2058
2059[2:55] [DOIC1] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore nodded to the others, then just switched holodecks.*
2060
2061[2:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to shay-
2062
2063[2:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -lingers-
2064
2065[2:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Cow? Really?"
2066
2067[2:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Moo
2068
2069[2:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I do not do animal play, you know this."
2070
2071[2:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Nor was i offering
2072
2073[2:58] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "So please less of thsoe kinds of remark when we are atleast trying to pretend to be serious?" *smiles softly*
2074
2075[2:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I meant no insult to you. Merely to these kinds of simulations
2076
2077[3:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -reaches out to touch her two fingers to Desi's hand as she says this-
2078
2079[3:00] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "They are what they are, and I gotten the task to try to restore morale and unit coheresion. If you have more fun and lovely sugestions, tell me" *holds V'Tiras fingers*
2080
2081[3:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do....do nothing
2082
2083[3:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: " How will that help?"
2084
2085[3:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Team building is not the issue
2086
2087[3:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The issue is the divide between command and crew on the ship."
2088
2089[3:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The crew is chaffing...are being helped...when they are not in the wrong
2090
2091[3:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree..the divide only is inclusive of you for the obvious reason
2092
2093[3:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It is not importnat if I am part of the divide. The fact that it exists between command and crew is the problem, I jsut hapend to be the oen having to handle it."
2094
2095[3:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Which again...you did not cause...and the crew did not create
2096
2097[3:04] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I know. Still it exist, and if we go to battle with it, people will die."
2098
2099[3:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Then you must change your approach,,,the crew knows their jobs....and have overcome greater odds than those of montagues and capulets parables
2100
2101[3:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "There is very little I can do to change the other vector. I even warned about what about to happend during the last simulation."
2102
2103[3:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...do not approach this from the prespective of the job
2104
2105[3:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Look to the wisdomnm of the Volleyball and that of the Lego
2106
2107[3:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "You have cheated on yoru sleep shedule again?" *Sighs*
2108
2109[3:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -flinches barely-
2110
2111[3:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That is not the point
2112
2113[3:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: there is logic behind such frivolity
2114
2115[3:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "With dicipline being a disaster, morale suffering due to something I can not change. I find two options, and one of them Baker got extremely angry about, and not adorable way."
2116
2117[3:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The emotions generate by group fun...are the bonding you seek
2118
2119[3:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quriks a brow- Why was Catherine angry?
2120
2121[3:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I ran the idea to transfer trough her."
2122
2123[3:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Running away is most illogical
2124
2125[3:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and will not solve the issue you seek
2126
2127[3:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: only it creates others
2128
2129[3:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "At least I can convince myself I gave the opertunity to solve the problem to someone more capeble, taht the blood this issue holds will not be on my feets."
2130
2131[3:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yet you are capable
2132
2133[3:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I know this to be true
2134
2135[3:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I am doubing it. This is the best I can come up with, and that only partially adresses the issue."
2136
2137[3:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...people follow you..not just due to your rank
2138
2139[3:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "People question my readyness to command, and not only in their midn, even outloud."
2140
2141[3:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: They come to you, knowing you will address their issues seriously
2142
2143[3:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Because you openly doubt
2144
2145[3:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: you can not show this
2146
2147[3:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: not openly
2148
2149[3:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Those you lead must never see that
2150
2151[3:12] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I am a Betazoid, deception is not really our thing, Scarily how good I become at it." *seems quite sad at that*
2152
2153[3:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is not deception...it is...-pauses- ...efficently orgazning public facts
2154
2155[3:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and you are not as good as it as you believe you are
2156
2157[3:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It is no secret I came to the Protector direct out of rehab, V'Tira. That I had not fought in any that significant battles, or played any that significant part."
2158
2159[3:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and yet now?
2160
2161[3:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Do you think I am blind to your pain?
2162
2163[3:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "My position as an XO is strictly a convinience, and a outcome of the issue of the lack of ranking officers on starfleet afre all to many wars."
2164
2165[3:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Untrue...i couldve challenged you
2166
2167[3:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: on the basis you are damaged emotionally and mentally
2168
2169[3:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: yet I did not
2170
2171[3:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Assada picked between one person who had participated in a muteny against him, A staff officer, and a... I do not even know what I qualify as."
2172
2173[3:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The corect choice
2174
2175[3:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: one of the few he has made
2176
2177[3:16] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Of the three options, I was the least bad. A convineance."
2178
2179[3:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No
2180
2181[3:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Were that the case I would challenged his choice to fleet
2182
2183[3:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and yet i did not
2184
2185[3:17] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira, The fact that both him and I remain in command positions of a ship at this point sugests that Fleet are out of options."
2186
2187[3:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No that is an assumption
2188
2189[3:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Do you truly believe Susan compton can not or would not remove either of you if she wished?
2190
2191[3:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or Admiral Kalavek?
2192
2193[3:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I think that compton is hsort of repalcements, yet had any one shown up, she would do so in a heartbeat."
2194
2195[3:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She would send the ship under the command of an ensign if that nsign could do the job
2196
2197[3:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or if short of a decent replacement...dock the ship and leave us there
2198
2199[3:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "A person usually is nto an ensign if they can propperly command a ship."
2200
2201[3:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yet it is possible in this conversation
2202
2203[3:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I have to make the observation taht we are... docked. Dealign with variosu exercises which could be seen as evaluations of basic combat readyness..."
2204
2205[3:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You keep trying to make yourself the..what does Cathy call it...the last cookie in the jae
2206
2207[3:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Due to the idiotic excerse and its results made by the choices of a captain who did not take it seriously
2208
2209[3:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and this again resulted in his crew taking action..and then paying for it
2210
2211[3:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Name... Three other lieutenant commanders or higher with command qualifications which could replace us at short notice?"
2212
2213[3:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "No, they did not really pay for it, I prevented the captaisn retaliation."
2214
2215[3:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Commander Alice Walker, Commander Solia, Commander Valkrss
2216
2217[3:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I can go on
2218
2219[3:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Commander Solia who for reasons unknown are not even a department head. I can onyl assume she do not want to be in command. She has YIS to be a commander even I think. I think it is safe to say that>
2220
2221[3:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Gigantes has two....the Coronado 3....the Edinburgh 4
2222
2223[3:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > walker will not leave her husband behind, and I heared there is a much better positioning opening up she is a priem candidate for."
2224
2225[3:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and of ValKriss?
2226
2227[3:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I will give you that one."
2228
2229[3:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and the others?
2230
2231[3:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And Commadner Karlsson of Gigantess I guess."
2232
2233[3:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: there are more than five ships to the 22nd
2234
2235[3:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and her helm officer
2236
2237[3:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: yet Compton approved you
2238
2239[3:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I have no idea who that is."
2240
2241[3:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do
2242
2243[3:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I refuse to think so low of starfleet that they would let this stand where there not a very dire reason, V'Tira."
2244
2245[3:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Why not any full commander has been transfered, or someone better deserving at lieutenant commander eludes me, Perhaps msot people knows nto to transfer to a defiant."
2246
2247[3:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Do you not see it still?
2248
2249[3:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Clearly I am not seeing it."
2250
2251[3:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: A lieutenant commander is warrented to command a ship of this size
2252
2253[3:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You are being tested Desiree
2254
2255[3:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You wer thrown into the deep end
2256
2257[3:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: were*
2258
2259[3:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yet if there was a higher ranking person deserving a command ,they would be granted it."
2260
2261[3:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: If she logically felt this was the best choice..yes
2262
2263[3:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And then she makes... this combination?"
2264
2265[3:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Why would she not?
2266
2267[3:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Are you defending captai nasada for once?"
2268
2269[3:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- No
2270
2271[3:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am defending you
2272
2273[3:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not see him holding command much longer....that it appears he is grooming you to replace him
2274
2275[3:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Grooming me? Oh... You where at that stratops meeting when that simualted muteny happened."
2276
2277[3:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe you are being scrutinized
2278
2279[3:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes
2280
2281[3:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Thankfully..hence the cow comments
2282
2283[3:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "If he is testing how long it takes for me to lose it, he is doing a splendid work."
2284
2285[3:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: He is not testing you..though i believes he thinks he is
2286
2287[3:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I find every morning beign a test... So atleast he has me convinced."
2288
2289[3:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe Admiral Compton is testing you
2290
2291[3:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: using him
2292
2293[3:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "This entire thing has helped me with something however."
2294
2295[3:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Oh?
2296
2297[3:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I think I know what I want with my career."
2298
2299[3:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- You do not wish to command?
2300
2301[3:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Of course not. Where did you get that idea from?"
2302
2303[3:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You are gifted with the ability
2304
2305[3:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I would like to be a teacher at the academy."
2306
2307[3:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: What comes naturally for you...i...i struggle with
2308
2309[3:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -cants her head- One must experience before one can teach Desiree
2310
2311[3:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The Academy is a cradle for leadership....if you do not fully understand the basis for what you are teaching..what type of children would you be birthing?
2312
2313[3:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Indeed. And htat is part of why I am still here, Despite that the position is... all but sweet, I utterly despise the ship we have, and not to mention the other issue, love."
2314
2315[3:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: What makes the class abohorent to you?
2316
2317[3:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or is it the ship specifically?
2318
2319[3:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I strongly disagree with the doctrien which gave birth to it, and to how it is used."
2320
2321[3:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "No, The class, and suclasses."
2322
2323[3:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Its basis is soundly logical
2324
2325[3:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Where it to only be used in responce, on very short journeys, or carried on a jupiter, it is indeed sound."
2326
2327[3:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and it proved most efficent in the conflicts that followed its inception.
2328
2329[3:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed
2330
2331[3:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "when it is used to patrol, forcing peopel to compeltely pause their lives for days, weeks... It is not fair."
2332
2333[3:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Such is the case as well out here for the explorers and cruisers
2334
2335[3:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "No. It is not."
2336
2337[3:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Elaborate
2338
2339[3:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The yahve holodecks, Propper lounges, recreational areas, Private bathrooms, actual rooms. When they go off duty they can -relax- they can have a life. We... can't"
2340
2341[3:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yet we do
2342
2343[3:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...followig those long extended conflicts...the fleet has been strained in availabe resources
2344
2345[3:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Sacrfices had to be made...to commence with the exploration of this rare chance in the Large Magellanic Cloud
2346
2347[3:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I know why it is, V'Tira. I still disagree to how the ship is used, and from that I despice the class."
2348
2349[3:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We had to make due with what we had left
2350
2351[3:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: How else is Admiral Compton to use the Protector?
2352
2353[3:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "If anything, people should be rotated out of this kind of class every... six months or so."
2354
2355[3:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or the Charybdis?
2356
2357[3:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow-
2358
2359[3:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...i prefer this class
2360
2361[3:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Then you could volunteer for a second turn?" *cants her head*
2362
2363[3:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I served for years aboard the original Sentinel for years
2364
2365[3:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I did..and had I not..we would not have met
2366
2367[3:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Nor would we have met Catherine
2368
2369[3:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Had the Arden not been destroyed in the way it was, we would not meet either, that does not make that incident very lovely, love."
2370
2371[3:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Above all other classes...this class breeds a tighter bond of intamcy between shipmates
2372
2373[3:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We work together far more closely and rely on one another more than any larger class of ship
2374s
2375[3:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "BEcause we are forced to put any form of live we had on pause."
2376
2377[3:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: and we have an extremely high sucess rate operations wise
2378
2379[3:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: My life is not on pause
2380
2381[3:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am doing the job i selected with those i....prefer to be in the company og
2382
2383[3:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: of
2384
2385[3:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "and when you do not work?"
2386
2387[3:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Have my affections been so forgetable?
2388
2389[3:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "That is hardly all in your life, love?"
2390
2391[3:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Tell me...our subspace channels...do they rectrict my view of baseball?
2392
2393[3:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Dod they cease 'nerf warfare' with my shipmates?
2394
2395[3:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It would be better with a holodeck to actually play, and to watch?"
2396
2397[3:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Do they resctrit me from using my shipmates as action figures? or clearly winning the Alex Plant debate with Dom?
2398
2399[3:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: 0cants her head- Your only complaint is a holo-deck?
2400
2401[3:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "No. It is simply one of the thigns that so many others has, which helps peopel remain people, not just officers, which we are deprived of."
2402
2403[3:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The crew lives...as they did long before ther were easy holo-decks
2404
2405[3:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -blinks- I am no machine my love
2406
2407[3:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am ...still people as i was before i came aboard
2408
2409[3:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Moo....remember?
2410
2411[3:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We barely have an adequet gym, no real green areas, anythign which can elivate the fact that we are restrained in a all to tight mettal can."
2412
2413[3:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You seek a holo-distraction
2414
2415[3:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not see how that makes us less than people we are for not having on
2416
2417[3:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: one*
2418
2419[3:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I seek any ditraction for the crew which woudl let them feel liek they where not traped in a small ship, cosntantly on duty or resting to be on duty."
2420
2421[3:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Most do not
2422
2423[3:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: it is where they choose to serve...we are not trapped Desiree
2424
2425[3:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: we can always transfer
2426
2427[3:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: has there been an influx of such offers?
2428
2429[3:53] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We can, Or starfleet could rethink how they employ the class so that we live in about the same standards as other officers, while maintining what we are good at."
2430
2431[3:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...we have the same standards of living
2432
2433[3:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: just no holodeck
2434
2435[3:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Private quarters?"
2436
2437[3:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Living rooms? Bathrooms?"
2438
2439[3:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- We have our own bathrooms
2440
2441[3:55] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Shared in teh coridor."
2442
2443[3:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We arent supposed to be on such extended operations...but as stated before...we are now required too
2444
2445[3:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: due to lack of resources
2446
2447[3:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Not by choice
2448
2449[3:56] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And this lack of resources has been going on for two years."
2450
2451[3:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I was... fine... with it for the first time, Despite my disagreement with the class by doctrine. Now, after two years, It is not so easily waved away."
2452
2453[3:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...starfleet has been at near constant war with the Klingons, Borg and Iconians for a decade and half
2454
2455[3:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: wars that just ended tw years ago...recovery takes time
2456
2457[3:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Nor can the losses of material and personnel
2458
2459[3:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I know love, And what I am sayign that either they change so that we better fit what we are good at, and lessening what we are bad at, or they share the burden of crewing this ships."
2460
2461[3:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: And the crewing part is stymied as much as the ship's resources
2462
2463[3:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: in point of fact...crew replacements take far longer than ships resources to replace
2464
2465[3:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Hence my origina lasumption that Protectors command is a direct consequence of thsoe wars. And I know they are trying for the crew, yet it is no logner sufficient."
2466
2467[3:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It has to be ...for now
2468
2469[4:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That has to be accepted until the Federation recovers
2470
2471[4:00] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Then they should rotate teh burden, It is not a that large step."
2472
2473[4:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Entire star systems were burnd to a cinder
2474
2475[4:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: How
2476
2477[4:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: with what crew personnel?
2478
2479[4:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Did you not understnd those are lacking as well?
2480
2481[4:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I do not see how that exchangign one officer at ao ne for one ratio lowers the ammount of officers on the otehr ships, love?"
2482
2483[4:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Experience on the required classes and jobs
2484
2485[4:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a engineer on an escort has not the same skill set or experience as say as on on the Adagio
2486
2487[4:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Hence gradual cyceling, And it is a strength for most jobs to be abel to work on variosu equipment ,as next to no oen spend their entire career on the same job."
2488
2489[4:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: What works on one type of ship does not always work on anther
2490
2491[4:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And our cadets do not graduate with skillsets to work on most federation tech?"
2492
2493[4:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Those who entrd the academy when the war ended...are only secord year cadets now
2494
2495[4:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...they arent ready yet
2496
2497[4:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I mean those who are ensigns and J.Gs now."
2498
2499[4:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: the previous classs above them were oftne pressed into service during the wars early
2500
2501[4:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: which are a smaller crop to reap for a large selection of remaining ships
2502
2503[4:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: the resources are not yet ther love
2504
2505[4:04] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Take... Snow. Sure it may take a little while for him to get used to say an Nova class. Yet fro mday one he could be usefull, and he would bring skills that are unique."
2506
2507[4:04] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "While we woudl get an engineer from a nova class, bringing their skilsl to us."
2508
2509[4:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Illogical
2510
2511[4:05] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Why?"
2512
2513[4:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: In a perfect scenario that makes sense
2514
2515[4:05] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And how does shortage of manpower, or ships, make it a significant difference to exchagne officers at one for one?"
2516
2517[4:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: but given the variable of personality and as you put it different living conditions...it is logical the Nova enginer would have a lower initial work performance
2518
2519[4:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Becauase all ships and classes and quiptment used by them is not similar
2520
2521[4:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "That is no different then the issue comming from natural transfer of crew."
2522
2523[4:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: There are many systems on the avenger class not employed abaord our ship
2524
2525[4:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree enough
2526
2527[4:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You know what my point is
2528
2529[4:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It is illogical, and makes no sense."
2530
2531[4:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "It is as if you wish to preseve a horrible status as it is, lvoe."
2532
2533[4:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -stiffens as if she was struck by her-
2534
2535[4:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You can not be serious
2536
2537[4:08] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I am serious, You have not made any point which would sugest otherwise love."
2538
2539[4:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You wish to juggle and shake up exsisting crews...and established skillsets with an arbitary rotation system...that breaks up established crew effieceny using manpower are less than peak levels
2540
2541[4:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -stiffens more= This is not my policy..I am merely attempting to explain the realities behind why such a choatic rotation plan over the entire over etended fleets of statfleet is impractical
2542
2543[4:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Then why not prohibit people from serving on any other class then first asigned to when graduating?"
2544
2545[4:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: That is not what I am saying
2546
2547[4:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am speaking of this on a whole Starfleet wide ..since you wish to make this rotation mandatory
2548
2549[4:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "On this kinds of classes, yes."
2550
2551[4:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: by rotating in those from outside the class
2552
2553[4:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I think that gradually doign so would not really cause greater discord then what natural transfers does, and would be an experience exchange which many would benefit from."
2554
2555[4:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ideally in slow steps..yes I agree
2556
2557[4:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: but again...slow steps as such are occuring...but our location makes it even a slower process
2558
2559[4:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I even think that done right it owuld be a massive asset to the fleet. Imagine the ensign engineer on say... Sentinel. They have relatively little individual responcebility, on our ship, even the >
2560
2561[4:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...nothing about any of this is ideal...just some ships are better equipt for such extended life
2562
2563[4:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > ensigns have a much higher responcebility due to limited number, Imagine how much they would learn from a six month period onboard?"
2564
2565[4:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Again i do not entirely disagree
2566
2567[4:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Idelly this is a efficient idea
2568
2569[4:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You are preaching to the choir
2570
2571[4:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: as they say
2572
2573[4:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Choir?"
2574
2575[4:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Another funny human saying?"
2576
2577[4:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am unsure..Catherine has used it
2578
2579[4:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: it means you are arguing with someone who understands and agrees mostly with your points
2580
2581[4:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I fear Asada enjoys this kind of life, and the long range patrols." *sighs*
2582
2583[4:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: All I have been doing is pointing out the reality of employing it in your entirity at this tie
2584
2585[4:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: time*
2586
2587[4:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- i do as well
2588
2589[4:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Idealy, if we where simply given enough leave for the time we put our lives on pause, I would accept it. Yet as you say. The situation does not allow that. So somehow the burden needs to be split."
2590
2591[4:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Again...I agree in part
2592
2593[4:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not see the burden in the way you do..but then again..that is subjective
2594
2595[4:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: not all postings in Starfleet are ideal
2596
2597[4:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: but i do agree..any posting can be made more efficient
2598
2599[4:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Once more the shortage of officers."
2600
2601[4:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: And the fact some serving aboard escorts do not see the life as you do
2602
2603[4:29] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "There are always exeptions, and I do not at all think there should be rules agaisnt people voluntarily stayign extra terms."
2604
2605[4:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: There are none
2606
2607[4:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I meant in my imaginary fix, love."
2608
2609[4:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: The recrtictions are currently due mostly to man power shortges
2610
2611[4:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Oh
2612
2613[4:30] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am sorry...my fatigue from ...my Ill sleep...is having its effects
2614
2615[4:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Idealy, the fix is not needed as for every month out there, we would have a month docked or so. And then it would not be an all to bad posting at all."
2616
2617[4:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ideally..yes
2618
2619[4:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: But then there is this entire brand new galaxy to explore
2620
2621[4:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And if we where to replace one of the ships on the hoem front that is better suited to exploration, that would also serve the purpose."
2622
2623[4:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed
2624
2625[4:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: One wonders how the admirals facing the Hurq miht feel from losing a Sovereign class or Galaxy from their fight..and getting us
2626
2627[4:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Us us, or a defiant subclass?" *Smirks*
2628
2629[4:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Home is not entirely peaceful..it is why we have so few resources still
2630
2631[4:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Both
2632
2633[4:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I am sure there is a charming nova on the homefront we could replace."
2634
2635[4:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "As for how the poor admiral feels, Bald I imagine."
2636
2637[4:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -a twinkle enters her eyes-
2638
2639[4:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed
2640
2641[4:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: poh holy cow!!!!
2642
2643[4:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [ ]
2644
2645[4:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [The wind just hit our house like a bull in a china shop o.0 ]
2646
2647[4:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: [scraed the crap out of me]
2648
2649[4:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I at times wonder how Compton is not bald... Or if that is a wig."
2650
2651[4:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- You never wondered why she no longer commands the andromache?
2652
2653[4:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lack of time?"
2654
2655[4:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She suffered a stroke..medically she is unable to command a starship
2656
2657[4:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Poor woman. And the doctor allows her to keep this job? Is that not liek askign for a new one?"
2658
2659[4:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: She was unable to fully treated to reapir her injuries and was offered retirement ..she accepted promotion to reamin in the fleet
2660
2661[4:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am not medically qulied to answer that
2662
2663[4:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yet she appears to have adapted
2664
2665[4:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "On any give nday gettiign reprots of strange death clouds, Protectors latest exploits and all other ships in the fleet."
2666
2667[4:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am only relaying what i hav observed
2668
2669[4:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Of course love."
2670
2671[4:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We been standing here long enough, I guess your detention is over. Shall we enjoy a propepr bed while we still have one?" *smiles*
2672
2673[4:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...One thing i was not honest before
2674
2675[4:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I will need your assitance to sleep tonight
2676
2677[4:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I will of course provide such love."
2678
2679[4:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Then first..we shall enjoy cupcakes
2680
