1[8:59] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** A strange theme plays tonight... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uttlRqHpvNs ** 
2
3[9:00] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The episode opened on a shot of three massive, jet black Kirtascan ships facing the Enigma 
4and Pilgrim in orbit above the dead planet once belonging to the Scyrthi.  The scene switched quickly to.. 
5
6[9:00] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: the scaled face of a Kirtascan male, seen to be clothed in rich black robes as the camera panned 
7outward.  With scaled talons he fastened an ornate, silver-coloured chain to a little loop on his... 
8
9[9:00] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: shoulder, letting it hang somewhat loosely against his chest as he connected it to his other 
10shoulder.  His voice could be heard:  “Official log of Archbishop Solurin Quollir on the Most Holy Tenth... 
11
12[9:01] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: Day of the Fourth Penance in the Twelfth Epoch under the Grace of our Great Protector.  As we 
13near the end of this most sacred tenth day of the New Penance, we find ourselves paradoxically forced... 
14
15[9:01] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: to violate our Great Protector’s tenants and venture forth from His Light to do battle with the 
16great Darkness Herself.”  The scene changed to one of a number of Kirtascan soldiers in full black... 
17
18[9:02] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: armour as they unleashed a barrage of red energy from their enormous, heavy rifles into a series 
19of targets made up to look like Travynei.  He attached a second chain to go with the first.   ... 
20
21[9:02] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: “Naturally, the High Pontiff has granted his dispensation for this necessary trespass, for it 
22was his own vision that has sent us on this many days’ journey; a vision of great evil, locked away in... 
23
24[9:02] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: an alien tomb long ago but unearthed recently by a foolhardy expedition undertaken by invaders 
25from another galaxy.”  As he added a third chain, the scene changed to that of a number of Kirtascans... 
26
27[9:03] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: in similar robes making strange markings and laying their talons reverently upon the hulls of 
28fighter craft down in the hangars.  “Our mission is a simple one; destroy the entity within those ruins.. 
29
30[9:03] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: before these aliens can unleash it upon the galaxy, at any cost...”  As his voice faded out, the 
31scene changed to the interior of T'Pang's office as she made her own log... ** 
32
33[9:05] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's Log, Supplemental. We are quickly approaching the time limit set upon us by the Kirstscan 
34archbishop. We have about two more hours before they intento send theur forces down tot he surface . 
35
36[9:07] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: the surface in and attempt to destriy the entity in the crystal in the depths of Hessok Vridi. I just 
37hope we can come up with a plan to difuse this situation before it escalates to violence. To that 
38
39[9:08] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain Arfacio and Arandak Tirrhe of the Scyrithi are beaming over for a conference to discuss this 
40matter. End Log. 
41
42[9:09] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she puts away the log recorder and leans back in her chair visibly tired.-- 
43
44[9:10] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Gayle to Captain T'Pang.  Captain Arfacio and Arandak Tirrhe have just beamed 
45aboard, should I have them escorted to the conference room?" 
46
47[9:10] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor is once more scanning the holy texts of the Kirtascans desperately, trying to find 
48anything that he could use against them, if need be.* 
49
50[9:11] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Yes, please do Lieutenant. I will join the assembled officers in the confercne room shortly.=/\= 
51
52[9:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Understood, Captain." 
53
54[9:11] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "This is just drivel." *He huffs exasperatedly.* 
55
56[9:13] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The doors opened then, a certain short little Italian woman striding inside with the massive 
57armoured figure of Arandak Tirrhe at her side.* 
58
59[9:13] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor leaves the tome on the table to stand up and incline his head in respect.* 
60
61[9:13] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris double checks the math on his plan to see whether or not his transporter idea is gonna 
62pan out in the meantime.* 
63
64[9:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods in respect.* 
65
66[9:14] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "This here is a perfect example of religious kooks sticking their noses in where it 
67doesn't belong.  No offence to the Bajoran, of course."  *She motioned for T'Ghor to sit.* 
68
69[9:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tirrhe]  *He stood beside Arfacio, not bothering to take a seat.* 
70
71[9:15] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li blinks.* 
72
73[9:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Agreed, Captain. You should read their holy tome, should you wish to know how bad it really 
74is. These people are being opressed by a maniacal clergy, claiming to speak to their "Great Protector", > 
75
76[9:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And they are loving each and every minute of it." 
77
78[9:17] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No offense to the Captain or the Chief, but I think we should stay focused on solutions over 
79social commentary. We can save that for when we have the time to be snarky." 
80
81[9:17] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I think that the only true way to solve this is to find a way to use their faith against 
82them." 
83
84[9:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "I'm sure you'll tell me all about it."  *She looked at Serris then.*  "Your captain 
85isn't here yet, we've got time to brainstorm." 
86
87[9:18] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: " 
88
89[9:18] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Parla del diavola..." *He stands up to nod to T'Pang as well.* 
90
91[9:19] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris looks to T'Pang wordlessly, following her with his eyes as she seats herself at the 
92head of the table.* 
93
94[9:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li watches T'Pang quietly.* 
95
96[9:19] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she enters quickly and takes a seat.-- "Sorry I was delayed. shall wee get started?" 
97
98[9:19] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Captain T'Pang, I wish our reunion could be under better circumstances.  I've 
99already taken the precaution of halting our operations on Hessok Vridi, we've been evacuating what artifacts.. 
100
101[9:20] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: and personnel we can.  I don't want to take any chances with this." 
102
103[9:20] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "that is probably wise given the circumstances." 
104
105[9:20] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Lieutenant Kol, Ensign Dower, and I have finalized the plans for the matter deconstruction." 
106
107[9:21] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Assuming this thing adheres to the laws of our space-time continuum, we should be able to use 
108the transporters to break it apart at the molecular level." 
109
110[9:21] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "There's a pretty big catch, though." 
111
112[9:22] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Matter deconstruction?"  *She raised her eyebrows.*  "Are we planning on 
113transporting the Kirtascans away?" 
114
115[9:22] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she raises an eyebrow-- "and, that would be?" 
116
117[9:23] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "In order to prevent the transporter pattern buffer from blowing out, we'll have to route the 
118matter stream and power flow through the main deflector and back into the transporter grid. It's the only- 
119
120[9:23] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The plan is to transport the crystal away, Captain. There are a few things that I find myself 
121in disagreement with, though." 
122
123[9:24] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: - piece of equipment on the ship rated for that kind of stress. Without the deflector, we 
124won't be able to raise shields, engage warp the warp engines, or our slipstream drive." 
125
126[9:24] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "That is a big catch. How did you get around the problem of atomspheric interference?" 
127
128[9:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "So that's your plan?  We take care of the problem for them so they don't feel the 
129need to collapse the site?" 
130
131[9:25] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We're going to deploy an away team to the surface to set up pattern enhancers around the 
132anomaly. That should allow us to cut through the interference." 
133
134[9:25] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "You want to send people back to the crystal." 
135
136[9:26] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "As far as I can tell, short of a miracle, it's the only way to avoid collateral damage." 
137
138[9:26] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Pattern enhancers wouldn't work." 
139
140[9:26] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "From the reports I have seen getting in close proximity to the crystal is extrememly dangerous." 
141
142[9:26] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I have been trying to tell you that ever since you came up with this hare-brained scheme." 
143
144[9:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li raises his eybrows.* 
145
146[9:27] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris narrows his eyes at T'Ghor.* "If you have an alternative, Lieutenant, by all means." 
147
148[9:27] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Indeed, after our last encounter with the entity I would be wary of sending anyone 
149to be in such close proximity." 
150
151[9:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Lieutenant, you've been on their ship and studied their holy text.  What is your 
152impression of them?  Do you believe we can convince them to leave without a show of force?" 
153
154[9:28] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Our best bet at this point is diplomacy. As I have told you, the interference is too strong, 
155probably due to whatever happened here millenia ago. And sending people to the crystal is a huge risk, > 
156
157[9:29] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Because I have seen what it does to people, we could release the being without even meaning 
158to, which would only prove the Kirtascans right about us... and sour our relationship with them even > 
159
160[9:29] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Further, perhaps to the point of war. I have been studying their religious texts, and while 
161many tenets are... absolutely nonsensical, there is one that caught my eye. "You must guard your Heart > 
162
163[9:30] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Against the Darkness at all times." Perhaps, if we made clear the effect the being has on 
164people's minds, it would stop them for at least a bit more, until they consider a new plan. Buy us some time> 
165
166[9:30] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "At the very least." 
167
168[9:30] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "You can't negotiate with zealots. I guarantee they have a contingency in place to disable or 
169destroy us if we interfere with their doctrine." 
170
171[9:30] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Furthermore, why would they bother to take us seriously when they have the numbers and 
172firepower advantage?" 
173
174[9:31] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Because we have faced the being before. They have no idea what to expect, except a vague 
175description of a "Being of Darkness"." 
176
177[9:31] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: The only way they would be moved is by instructions from the Protector. 
178
179[9:32] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Exactly. Their devotion is as fanatical as it is nonsensical." 
180
181[9:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "You're right, Lieutenant Zital.  We are massively outgunned here, and even if we 
182were to bring in the Alliance forces to back us up that would only lead to a slaughter, if they're truly... 
183
184[9:32] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: the zealots you paint them as." 
185
186[9:32] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...You know, you are giving me an idea, Zorin... Do you believe we could perhaps, fake an 
187appearance from this Great Protector?" 
188
189[9:33] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Do I even have to point out how much of a violation of the Prime Directive it would 
190be to pretend to be another culture's religious figure?" 
191
192[9:33] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We do not have many other options at this point." 
193
194[9:34] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Besides, we won't be restructuring their society or anything. We will make him as believable 
195as possible, according to the tenets in their writing." 
196
197[9:34] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  *She looked at T'Pang.*  "You've been fairly quiet, Captain.  Your thoughts?" 
198
199[9:34] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It might work, if we could make it believable. 
200
201[9:35] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods at Li.* 
202
203[9:35] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And if they find out it's a forgery, you're going to start a war." 
204
205[9:35] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's absolutely out of the question." 
206
207[9:35] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I would like to hear the perspective of the Scyrithi people on this. It is their planet, they have 
208the most to gain or lose from this." 
209
210[9:35] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We either lose Hessok Vridi, We lose Hessok Vridi, the being gets released, we start a war to 
211keep it, or try the forgery. That is the options I see." 
212
213[9:35] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Lose HV and* the being gets released) 
214
215[9:36] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tirrhe]  *He inclined his helmet slightly to T'Pang with that.*  "We must preserve Hessok 
216Vridi, but at the same time we do need to rid the city of the being of darkness if we are to reclaim the... 
217
218[9:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: planet.  These Kirtascans claim that they can destroy the being.  I say, let them.  Perhaps we 
219can convince them to spare the city if we cooperate." 
220
221[9:37] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "To that end, there may be a way to minimize collateral damage from orbital bombardment." 
222
223[9:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Worst case scenario, however, these Kirtascans release whatever the hell it is in 
224the crystal." 
225
226[9:37] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "With my respect and your permission, Arandak Tirrhe. I do not believe they can destroy it. 
227They appear to want to fight it with conventional weapons that are "Sanctified". And that "Sanctification" > 
228
229[9:38] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Adds no special properties, as far as I know. As Captain Arfacio said, there is an extremely 
230large chance that they release the being." 
231
232[9:38] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "And, if Hessok Vridi can not be preserved..without starting a war with these 
233Kirtascans?" 
234
235[9:39] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tirrhe]  "Captain, let me be entirely candid.  The Scyrthi cannot afford to fight a war with 
236the Kirtascans.  Not the Rebellion, or the Confederacy.  Our only means of defending this place lies... 
237
238[9:39] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: with you." 
239
240[9:39] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And the Federation doesn't have the resources for that either, not after the Iconians, the 
241Tzenkethi, and the Hur'Q." 
242
243[9:39] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "This forgery plan is too risky." 
244
245[9:39] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It still is something." 
246
247[9:40] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's a catastrophe waiting to happen." 
248
249[9:40] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So is releasing the Kirtascans onto Hessok Vridi." 
250
251[9:40] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am aware of that, butit is unilikely we can stop them using military force." 
252
253[9:40] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "If we drilled holes into the chamber where the entity resides, we could give them a direct 
254shot and minimize the impact." 
255
256[9:40] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No, we cannot." 
257
258[9:40] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Maybe install some seismic stabilizers throughout key chambers to minimize collapse." 
259
260[9:41] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That's the best I can think of in the worst-case scenario." 
261
262[9:41] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That is a solid idea, however, it involves sending people in to the crystal once more. For an 
263extended period of time." 
264
265[9:41] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "In the grand scheme of things, that's still far less dangerous than the Kirtascans finding 
266out you impersonated their god." 
267
268[9:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "This entire situation stinks to high heaven.  Lieutenant T'Ghor, do you think it 
269would be possible they would allow a joint operation?" 
270
271[9:42] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Are we certain? Who knows what that being is -truly- capable of? It could easily start a war 
272between us, its enemies, should it get released?" 
273
274[9:43] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor thinks on it a bit.* "They seem to hold a degree of respect for us, at least some of 
275them. We could be able to convince them of it, however, we would need to use their religious views to help> 
276
277[9:43] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Us in it. Arandak Tirrhe would be instrumental, he should try to prove that the Scyrthi want 
278to create a new society of honour and light." 
279
280[9:44] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tirrhe]  "I will assist however I can.  I only wish to preserve the city, it's of too great 
281importance to my people to let the Kirtascans simply demolish it." 
282
283[9:45] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "We understand, we wish nothing more than to keep the city intact as well. If 
284possible, by way of cooperation to destroy the monster inside." 
285
286[9:45] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "In the meantime, we need to execute a plan of action, because we don't have the prep time to 
287debate another one." 
288
289[9:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "I don't think there's any force in this galaxy that could keep those Kirtascans 
290from descending into the city now short of us blowing it up ourselves.  We may as well tag along and... 
291
292[9:46] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: see what they plan to do." 
293
294[9:46] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I think the least offensive plan to their sensibilities would be to drill targets into the 
295entity's chamber and set up the seismic stabilizers." 
296
297[9:47] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "That would show that we take their religious obligations seriously while also showing that we 
298simply wish to preserve the Scyrthi's culture." 
299
300[9:47] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods at Arfacio.* "We should take a full compartment of engineers to install emitters 
301for the Salvation protocols. We cannot allow all those Kirtacans to go mad due to its influence." 
302
303[9:48] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Kill two birds with one stone, fit the neurogenic field emitters to the seismic stabilizers." 
304
305[9:48] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That could work." 
306
307[9:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "I don't imagine we could drill that deeply without seriously destabilising the 
308entire site.  And I don't believe we'd have enough time to set up stabilisiers -and- drill targets." 
309
310[9:49] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods slowly-- 
311
312[9:50] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "We could do the drilling from orbit with precision phaser blasts, soften the crust so that 
313the Kirtascan weapons don't cause as much shock to the surface." 
314
315[9:50] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T"Ghor looks at his timepiece.* "Damn... correct... well. At least stabilizers and emmiters." 
316
317[9:50] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Should those safeties be around..." *He then looks to Serris.* "Can we be -that- precise? I 
318think we should get tactical in here to hear his assessment." 
319
320[9:51] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Before we go setting up targets, however, we should at least attempt to negotiate 
321to keep the city intact." 
322
323[9:52] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Of course. As I said, I believe diplomacy is our best bet, or at least, a safe start." 
324
325[9:52] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Our best leverage in that case would be to make their jobs easier." 
326
327[9:52] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Heat the knife so it cuts through the frozen butter faster." 
328
329[9:52] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "They can have their toast and everyone goes home happy." 
330
331[9:52] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "And let's not forget, this site is ancient.  There is no telling what will cause 
332collapse." 
333
334[9:52] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Make their jobs easier to destroy the city?"  *She looked incredulous.* 
335
336[9:53] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "No, to destroy the site housing the entity." 
337
338[9:53] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Remember, we're trying to set up seismic stabilizers to reduce collateral." 
339
340[9:53] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Are they not planning to go in person?" 
341
342[9:53] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Perhaps our first order of business should be to talk them into an orbital strike." 
343
344[9:53] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "They confused me with that. I saw them practising with... swords, for this fight." 
345
346[9:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  *She rubbed her temples.* 
347
348[9:54] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Very archaric. 
349
350[9:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Are we certain that wasn't just for ritualistic purposes?" 
351
352[9:55] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I have no idea. They called it "Preparing themselves." 
353
354[9:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tirrhe]  "I have taken a Kirtascan ship before.  Their warriors are fearsome, they killed 
355several of my men before we took them." 
356
357[9:57] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "While, it is easy enough to discount their religious beliefs as mere superstitution. I think it 
358would be unwise to do so." 
359
360[9:57] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "You think there's something behind this 'Great Protector' of theirs?" 
361
362[9:57] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor blinks to T'Pang, then nods to Arfacio's question.* 
363
364[9:58] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, I do. No matter what mythology and rituals they have build up around this great protector. 
365Let's not discount the reality that whatever they have it has allowed them to fend off attacks by the . 
366
367[9:59] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Dark that have destroyed other races." 
368
369[9:59] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Only within the twelve star systems of His influence, though." 
370
371[9:59] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Like the Bajoran Prophets, it's entirely possible that this Great Protector exists on or 
372interacts with our corporeal plane in some way." 
373
374[10:00] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Maybe so. But he still should be powerless out here." 
375
376[10:00] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Hell, twelve's more than enough out here in the LMC.  And I have to agree.  
377They've built a pretty impressive dogma around their Protector, but he could very well be a real entity out... 
378
379[10:00] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: keeping them safe." 
380
381[10:00] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "True, but they obviously must have access to advanced techology that is effective 
382against the Dark." 
383
384[10:00] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "All the more reason to let them do their business with as little collateral damage as 
385possible and let them be on their way." 
386
387[10:01] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I agree Mister Zital." 
388
389[10:01] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Or maybe it is indeed his influence within those systems that empowers them somehow, and they 
390are just zealots with swords out here..." *He sighs, rubbing his temples, confused.* 
391
392[10:01] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We would have likely had to deal with the entity sooner or later anyway." 
393
394[10:02] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That was my suggestion. I do wish we could have done it ourselves, and safely researched a 
395method that does not endanger the city." 
396
397[10:02] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I don't know I have seen some of the weapons of the Avaynai. They seem to use a lot of swords in 
398their conbat as well." 
399
400[10:02] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Their swords are millenia away from the Kirtascans, due to their crystals." 
401
402[10:03] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "With your permission, Captain, I'd like to begin organizing teams to begin deploying seismic 
403stabilizers in a two kilometer radius around the entity's chamber." 
404
405[10:03] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "These are more... primitive ones." 
406
407[10:03] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Agreed.  I think the best thing we could do at this point is let the zealots in 
408their giant black ships do what they will and try to convince them to spare the city." 
409
410[10:03] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Sighs.* "Offer them what help we can give, with salvation protocols." 
411
412[10:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Much as I'd like to kick their spiny tails back where they came from, we're in no 
413condition to fight them." 
414
415[10:04] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If only the Argentina were here, we would have sent them home packing." *He sighs, then nods 
416at Arfacio.* 
417
418[10:05] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li frowns at that.* 
419
420[10:06] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "With your permission, Captain Arfacio, I'd like to take advantage of the Enigma's 
421replication facilities to speed up production of stabilizers modified with the neurogenic inhibitors." 
422
423[10:07] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Galaxy-class ships are much better equipped for that than we are." 
424
425[10:07] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I could help you with setting them up, or be with the Captain for the negotiations, as is her 
426will." 
427
428[10:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  *She nodded.*  "That we are.  By all means, our industrial replicators are your 
429industrial replicators." 
430
431[10:07] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (As she wills*) 
432
433[10:08] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It seems we have our plan of action then. Your orders, Captain?" *He looks to T'Pang.* 
434
435[10:11] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Well that does seem to be our plan. I wil of course try to negotiate a joint operation with the 
436Kirtascans. Our goal of course being to try and limit their destruction to save as much of teh city as 
437
438[10:12] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: possible. 
439
440[10:13] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  *She nodded.*  "I'll assist how I can.  Is there anything more you three can think 
441of that may help us with the Kirtascans?" 
442
443[10:13] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Only that, given the sensitive nature of this situation and the potential for escalation, I 
444recommend we put the Pilgrim and the Enigma on red alert until this is over." 
445
446[10:13] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods, pushing the Kirtascan religious tome to T'Pang.* "You may wish to read this. Only the 
447first two pages are of any interest or help to you, should you try to use it in negotiations." 
448
449[10:14] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Mind giving us a condensed version, T'Ghor?" 
450
451[10:14] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "i will have to read it before I meet with the Kirtascans agains." 
452
453[10:14] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Basically. What I believe would be useful in the negotiations, is what I told you. The tenet 
454of "Protect your heart against the Dark at all costs." 
455
456[10:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We could argue that our salvation protocols are something that will greatly aid them in it." 
457
458[10:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If properly explained what the being does to people's minds>" 
459
460[10:15] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "It could work.  Could warrant them taking us along for the ride." 
461
462[10:16] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Indeed. There is the tenet of not wandering outside the twelve star systems of His influence. 
463His Light supposedly doesn't shine on them here, so allies with technology could be useful." 
464
465[10:17] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Given the limited nature of our time table, I'd like to be excused so I can begin 
466preparations." 
467
468[10:17] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Should the captains desire, I could join you, although I vouch that I fully trust his 
469technical prowess." 
470
471[10:18] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Is Mister Zorin here not the Engineer?" 
472
473[10:18] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris' head twitches as he has to take a moment to actually process that he isn't an 
474engineer, the OTHER him was.* 
475
476[10:18] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "He is. But Mr. Zital has proven quite skilled in the field as well." 
477
478[10:19] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Recent events have imbued me with working knowledge, for better or worse." 
479
480[10:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li raises his eyebrows.* I do not object to Mister Zital's presence, but I am the 
481representative from engineering here. 
482
483[10:19] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I would like all hands on deck where it comes to the technical preparation." 
484
485[10:20] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  *She raised a brow at Serris, then nodded to Li.*  "That is what I meant." 
486
487[10:20] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Also, Captain, I do believe that the being's telepathic effect should be explained to the 
488Kirtascans, as another argument for our presence on the planet. Perhaps forwarding the part of my report > 
489
490[10:20] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "That deals with it to them would be prudent." 
491
492[10:20] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris taps his foot and looks at the clock on his PADD.* 
493
494[10:21] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that would be prudent Mister T'Ghor." 
495
496[10:21] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods.* "My report is in your files, I am certain you would handle it then. That is all 
497I wished to say, I await further orders." 
498
499[10:21] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Well!  No time like the present, is there?  What's say we call up the Archbishop 
500and have a chat before their holy day's over, huh?" 
501
502[10:22] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "For now you all may be excused to go and get started on the technical preparations for out plan." 
503
504[10:22] [DOIC3] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris wastes no time in practically bolting out of the room.* 
505
506[10:22] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes captain, that would be prudent." 
507
508[10:22] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T"Ghor shrugs.* "I am not much of a technician, but..." *He stands up, nods to the captains, 
509and heads out.* 
510
511[10:23] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "A moment, Mister T'Ghor?" 
512
513[10:23] [DOIC1] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *The Blueberry has already vanished.* 
514
515[10:23] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor stops and turns to look to Arfacio.* 
516
517[10:23] [DOIC1] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Deck 11. 
518
519[10:23] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "I believe you would better serve us here in the negotiation, rather than with the 
520engineers." 
521
522[10:24] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Captain." *He nods.* "I will give you privacy, and await you on the bridge. Captain 
523T'Pang, Captain Arfacio." *He nods respectfully and heads out.* 
524
525[10:24] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris is already in engineering, working to integrate the neurogenic inhibitors with the 
526seismic stabilizers as seamlessly as possible.* 
527
528[10:24] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The lift sped off for Engineering.* 
529
530[10:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  *She rose from her chair, facing T'Pang.*  "Concerns?" 
531
532[10:24] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor leaned on the railing above the captain's chair.* 
533
534[10:25] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li patiently waits until the lift opens.* 
535
536[10:25] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Looks like you're having a day." 
537
538[10:25] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I have plenty of concerns." 
539
540[10:25] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The doors opened!* 
541
542[10:26] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Good, otherwise I'd have been concerned."  *She gave a slight smirk.* 
543
544[10:26] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You don't know the half of it. Hope you're having a better one." 
545
546[10:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "From the looks of those big mean ships out there, I'm not so sure." 
547
548[10:27] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We have few options here and no good ones. This whole plan seems to hinge on us being able to 
549negotiate with relgious fanatics." 
550
551[10:27] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, keep your fingers crossed. I am supposed to be negotiating with them alongside the 
552Captains and Arandak Tirrhe. And you know things are bad when you bring a klingon to negotiations." 
553
554[10:27] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li steps out, heading towards main engineering.* 
555
556[10:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "We do seem to be between a rock and a hard place, as they say.  In a situation 
557like this, we just have to try and make sure there's as little collateral damage as possible.  Keep our... 
558
559[10:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: people safe and our Federation from going to war with these fanatics." 
560
561[10:28] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris waves Kol over.* "Hey, can you help me with these power connections?" 
562
563[10:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "And maybe, just maybe, we'll get lucky and get to preserve the city as well." 
564
565[10:29] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "The only positive not is they seem genunnely facinated by us. They imagine it some sort of 
566preordaned event that we met up with them on this particular holy day. that is somthing that may help us." 
567
568[10:29] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Yeah, sure."  *He headed over.*  "What do you need me to do?" 
569
570[10:29] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm trying to integrate this neurogenic inhibitor into the existing power cell of this 
571seismic stabilizer without overwhelming it with excess draw." 
572
573[10:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "The universe does have a sense of humour like that.  We'll play it up as best we 
574can.  Appeal to their sense of... mysticism.  If we can make it work with their faith, we've got our... 
575
576[10:30] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ticket in." 
577
578[10:30] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she taps her comm badge.-- =/\=Lieutnant Gayle, please hail the Kirtascans.=/\= 
579
580[10:30] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I had the idea of adding a regulator and a split and oscillating the flow, but that could 
581compromise the effectiveness of the stabilizer." 
582
583[10:30] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li briefly eyes Serris at Aria's usual station, then looks to Jill.* Report. 
584
585[10:30] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Pats Gayle's shoulder, giving her a "Here goes nothing" look.* 
586

588
589[10:31] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she approaches the screen-- 
590
591[10:31] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor takes this as his cue, and reenters.* 
592
593[10:31] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "All quiet, I had someone complain of a faulty replicator but it was an easy fix." 
594
595[10:32] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Why not add a separate power source?  It shouldn't need to be that big." 
596
597[10:32] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He picks up the tome, making sure to hold it in the most respectful manner one can hold a 
598religious book in.* 
599
600[10:33] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** After a few moments, the faces of Archbishop Quollir and Admiral Vidillis appeared on the 
601screen. ** 
602
603[10:33] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Can we do that within the housing without compromising any of the other internals?" 
604
605[10:34] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "With just a little trickery, I think it can fit." 
606
607[10:34] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Greetings Archbishop Quoillir and Admiral Vidillis." 
608
609[10:34] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor bows his head respectfully. 
610
611[10:34] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Greetings, I'm Captain Caritha Arfacio of the Federation starship Enigma."  *She 
612bowed her head as well.* 
613
614[10:34] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --also bow respectfully-- 
615
616[10:35] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Maybe if it was something as small as a phaser power cell." 
617
618[10:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Greetings.  What did you wish to discuss?  We grow near the end of our most Holy 
619Day." 
620
621[10:35] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Have a team dispatched to the shield generators. Routine maintenance. 
622
623[10:36] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Dower]  "Sure thing."  *She headed off to direct the team.* 
624
625[10:36] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We wanted to take a moment to request that you allow our crews to assist you on your mission to 
626rid this word of its evil presence. If you allow us to make out case I think you will see we can be ... 
627
628[10:36] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "It could work, let's give it a try?" 
629
630[10:37] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: valuable allies when operating out of the protection of your protectors light." 
631
632[10:37] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Let's just make sure we're routing the power on a separate circuit so it doesn't cause a 
633phase inversion." 
634
635[10:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Archbishop and the Admiral exchanged an intrigued look with that, turning back to the 
636screen.* 
637
638[10:38] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We have practical experience in dealing with the dark. We have developed protective technology." 
639
640[10:38] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "You wish to assist us in destroying the Darkness?  I'm pleasantly surprised, 
641Captain.  Perhaps the visit to our vessel did indeed enlighten you." 
642
643[10:38] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris, with Kol's assistance, attempts to map a modified power grid.* 
644
645[10:39] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris grimaced.* "Thermal cascade would make the phaser cell explode inside the stabilizer 
646if it was under stress, that's not going to work." 
647
648[10:40] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods at the archbishop at that.* 
649
650[10:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vidillis]  "What sort of aid can you provide us?" 
651
652[10:40] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "the trip to your vessel was most enlightening. And, yes, we wish to ally with you in fighting the 
653Destroying the Dark. We are also concerned with preserving as much of the city below so the Scrithi

657[10:41] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "So not a phaser cell.  Maybe something similar?" 
658
659[10:41] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris tries to think of something ingenious to solve the problem.* 
660
661[10:42] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li directs another team to run routine maintenance on the phaser banks and torpedo bays.* 
662
663[10:42] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm a little out of my element here, but let's see if this works." 
664
665[10:42] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Civilised Scyrthi?  I believe in miracles, Captain, but this one I will have to 
666believe to see." 
667
668[10:43] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Believe it, we'll be bringing one along for the ride."  *She nodded as Tirrhe 
669stepped into the frame.* 
670
671[10:43] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He significantly alters the internal wiring and circuit mapping of the stabilizer, adding 
672phase discriminators and power amplifiers at questionable places.* 
673
674[10:44] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *With any luck, it'd work. Sloppy, but functional.* 
675
676[10:44] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And admiral... to answer -your- question. We can offer you knowledge. Since we have faced 
677this being before, and have the technology to protect our, and your, hearts and minds from its dark > 
678
679[10:44] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Influence, so that you can strike hard and true against it, in the name of the Great 
680Protector, and the Light." 
681
682[10:44] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I would like to introduce you to Arandal Tirrhe, of the Scyrithi delegation." 
683
684[10:45] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "You have a Scyrthi amongst you?  They have never worked with anyone but their own 
685kind." 
686
687[10:46] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to the Scyrithi-- "I will let Tirrhe respond to that himslef." 
688
689[10:46] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... Okay, simulations say that should work." *He breathes a sigh of relief.* "Get this 
690pattern over to the Enigma, have them replicate twenty." 
691
692[10:47] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tirrhe]  "I've been turning over a new leaf, as my friend Captain Arfacio would put it.  I 
693intend to do what I can to return my people to the noble race we once were.  Hessok Vridi is our one tie... 
694
695[10:48] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: to our past, before the Darkness changed us into what you've encountered.  I can't make up for 
696the suffering your people have been through at the hands of my people, but I can attempt to create a... 
697
698[10:48] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: future where we no longer have to resort to such barbaric means." 
699
700[10:49] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "If you would embrace the teachings of the Great Protector, and come under his 
701Light... perhaps we could come to an accord." 
702
703[10:50] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor looks to Tirrhe with that.* 
704
705[10:50] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vidillis]  "You would sully our Great Protector by allowing the SCYRTHI to come under His 
706Light?!" 
707
708[10:50] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "The Great Protector embraces all who would accept His Tenants." 
709
710[10:51] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tirrhe]  "We would be... open to discussion about that.  But not if you destroy our city." 
711
712[10:52] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Surely, Admiral, it cannot be a coincidence that in the last hours of this holy day, you meet 
713the leader of a whole faction of another species who wish to change their ways?" 
714
715[10:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vidillis]  "Be that as it may, these are Scyrthi we are talking about.  The blood of 
716thousands of Kirtascans is on their hands!  How would you feel if they stole your crew, turned them into their... 
717
718[10:54] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: slaves?" 
719
720[10:55] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "they did steal members of our crew admiral." 
721
722[10:55] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I realize your people have been at odd for a long time." 
723
724[10:55] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Admiral... I understand, trust me. My species used to war with captain T'Pang and Captain 
725Arfacio's species for centuries. We are now allied, and at peace. Is redemption for the sins of your fathers> 
726
727[10:55] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "and that finding the capacity to forgive is not easy." 
728
729[10:55] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Not a virtue?" 
730
731[10:55] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He nods at T'Pang.* 
732
733[10:56] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The Admiral and Archbishop looked at one another for another moment before turning back.* 
734
735[10:57] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "In light of these... revelations, perhaps it is that we should postpone our plans 
736to demolish the city for the time being." 
737
738[10:57] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "After all, the destruction was not a part of the vision.  Only the slaying of the 
739beast." 
740
741[10:58] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor smiles, giving a grateful and respectful nod to the Archbishop.* 
742
743[10:58] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she bows respectfully again.-- "We would be grateful if you gave us more time to find a way to 
744solve this issue that benefits us all." 
745
746[10:59] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "There is no need for that, Captain T'Pang.  We know how we must destroy the beast.  
747But, if you say that you can assist us in this with technology to protect against its influence, we... 
748
749[10:59] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: will not turn down the offer.  Perhaps upon seeing the miracle we are to perform, your hearts 
750will be won over fully to the Protector's Light." 
751
752[11:00] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Mister Zital and Mister Zorin, both of whom you met, are preparing the technology as we 
753speak. We will do what is possible, so that none get corrupted by the monster's foul influence." 
754
755[11:00] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "indeed, we would be delighted in showing you the sorts of defenses we have developed 
756against the Dark powers." 
757
758[11:00] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Lieutenant, we've got a working design." 
759
760[11:01] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I'd like to look it over. 
761
762[11:01] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He hands Li the PADD. It's messy and not exactly regulation but it does indeed do what it 
763needs to do on paper.* 
764
765[11:01] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  *He nodded, then looked up as bells seemed to be ringing.*  "Ah... the Holy Day has 
766come to an end." 
767
768[11:02] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li studies it closely.* 
769
770[11:02] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Just as we reached an agreement... Take it as a sign, if you will." *He smiles a bit.* 
771
772[11:03] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --gives T'Ghor a look, as if to say careful no to lay it on too thick.--- 
773
774[11:03] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods* 
775
776[11:04] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li facepalms as he hands it back.* This is hideous. 
777
778[11:04] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "Indeed... very well.  We are sending our people down to the surface, we shall meet 
779you there?" 
780
781[11:04] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Our team will meet you there." 
782
783[11:05] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "But it works, and we don't exactly have time to refine the design." 
784
785[11:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Quollir]  "I look forward to it.  May you walk in the Protector's Light, all of you." 
786
787[11:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Vidillis]  *She looked none too pleased, but nodded curtly.* 
788
789[11:06] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods back, just as curtly.* 
790
791[11:06] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "thank you Bishop." --she again bows to to botht the Bishop and the Admiral.-- 
792
793[11:06] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Please do what you can right up until it is time to execute the plan. 
794
795[11:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Arfacio and Tirrhe also offered short bows before the comm cut, displaying the Starfleet logo 
796on the black screen.* 
797
798[11:07] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she remains quiet for several moments after the call ends.-- 
799
800[11:07] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *So did T'Ghor, proccessing the situation.* 
801
802[11:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "Looks like we bought you some time, so long as you look at their brocures, smile 
803and nod." 
804
805[11:07] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tirrhe]  "...Perhaps." 
806
807[11:08] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris arches a brow.* "Permission to speak freely?" 
808
809[11:08] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --then turns to captain Afacio.-- "It seems like a positive start at least." 
810
811[11:08] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor sighs.* "Better than having them open fire, or destroy the city." 
812
813[11:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Bridge to Captain T'Pang?" 
814
815[11:08] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Captain T'Pang here.=/\= 
816
817[11:09] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I'm reading multiple shuttles launching from the Kirtascan ships toward the surface, 
818ten of them." 
819
820[11:10] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  *She turned to the others.*  "I should get back to the Enigma and prep my team.  We 
821can make it through this.  We just have to play it smart." 
822
823[11:10] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood, they are headed to the surface for the beginning of our joint operation. Alert our 
824science and engineering teams to also prepare to head to the surface.=/\= 
825
826[11:10] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Granted. 
827
828[11:10] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor nods to Arfacio.* "Good luck, Captain." 
829
830[11:10] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Understood captain I shall see you on the surface then." 
831
832[11:11] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "By the time we need to execute the plan, we're going to NEED twenty devices that function 
833exactly like this mass produced and ready for deployment. Do we really have the time table necessary to make 
834
835[11:11] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: it look pretty first?" 
836
837[11:11] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Arfacio]  "And to you both, Lieutenant.  Captain."  *She nodded and started for the lift, 
838Tirrhe following wordlessly.* 
839
840[11:11] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li furrows his brow, not looking pleased at this arrangement.* We don't. 
841
842[11:12] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Then with your permission, I'd like to have the Enigma's fabrication engineers get started 
843on production immediately." 
844
845[11:12] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Mister T'Ghor assemble your team and prepare to head to the surface." 
846
847[11:12] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor sighs tiredly, nodding to T'Pang.* "Yes, Captain." 
848
849[11:13] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Please do so. 
850
851[11:13] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He heads back to the console and sends the plans, along with the directive.* 
852
853[11:13] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And Captain? Thank you. I think we acted in the best possible way, despite the arguments" 
854
855[11:14] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Not long after Serris received a note from the Enigma:*  "Did someone design this drunk?" 
856
857[11:14] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "You are welcome Mister T'Ghor. Although we only did our jobs as starfleet officers." 
858
859[11:14] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she follows T'Ghor out onto the bridge.-- 
860
861[11:15] [DOIC3] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You will be surprised how many find that difficult." *He nods and heads for the lift.* 
862
863[11:15] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He sighs, reading out his deck number.* 
864
865[11:15] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He replies:* "We don't have the time to refine it into the belle of the ball. We need 
866something that works, and it works, so get started, no questions asked." 
867
868[11:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain.  We've received a note from the Kirtascans, it should take some time before 
869they're ready down there.  Apparently they're deploying some technology to restore the atmosphere in... 
870
871[11:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: the cavern." 
872
873[11:16] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *An acknowledgement was soon sent along.* 
874
875[11:17] [DOIC3] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Acknowledged. Let them know we are making preparations up here and will join htem 
876when we are ready.It will also likely take us some time." 
877
878[11:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Acknowledged. Let them know we are making preparations up here and will join htem 
879when we are ready.It will also likely take us some time." 
880
881[11:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Understood, Captain." 
882
883[11:17] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "... And now, we wait." 
884
885[11:17] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor enters the lab.* "Okay, boys and girls! I want you to prepare for an away mission to 
886Hessok Vridi, meaning EV suits, personal salvation protocol emmiters, and the usual anti-telepathic > 
887
888[11:17] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Measures>" 
889
890[11:17] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: .*

893
894[11:18] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [T'Vin]  "I will make the necessary preparations, sir." 
895
896[11:19] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You are, Rei. And thank you, T'Vin. We will assemble in shuttle bay on my signal." 
897
898[11:20] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *Serris looks to Kol.* "I had no idea your peers were so judgmental about quality of work in 
899a crisis situation." 
900
901[11:20] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "We take pride in our work..." 
902
903[11:21] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor replicates a mug of coffee, then sits down at his chair, resting his head in his hands 
904for a moment.* 
905
906[11:21] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *T'Ghor's science minions began rushing around to get prepped.* 
907
908[11:21] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Crisis situation." *He reiterated.* 
909
910[11:22] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He shrugged.*  "There's always time for snark, didn't you know?" 
911
912[11:22] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He watched on, sipping his coffee and giving the Kirtascan religious tome an accusing glare 
913from time to time.* 
914
915[11:22] [DOIC4] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li checks on the shield generator maintenance.* 
916
917[11:22] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Things were much quieter at the Daystrom Institute." 
918
919[11:23] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The tome seemed to be judging him.* 
920
921[11:23] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "No kidding!"  *He smirked.* 
922
923[11:23] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Piss off!" *He growled at the book.* 
924
925[11:23] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Mostly because we were all introverts obsessing over our pet projects." 
926
927[11:23] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Sir?" 
928
929[11:24] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "And over there, engineering is silent because of the culture of fear." 
930
931[11:24] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Sounds shitty to me." 
932
933[11:24] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hrhm. Sorry. Not you. Stress. Dealing with religious zealots who wish to destroy the 
934archeological find of the decade, maybe century, is... draining." 
935
936[11:25] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Kind of ironic, seeing as it was zealots who destroyed this world in the first 
937place." 
938
939[11:25] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Very much so. Let us hope we can rescue it at least this time around." 
940
941[11:25] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Fear of death aside, there's something to be said about the efficiency in both cases." 
942
943[11:27] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Even if we don't, at least we've made some findings.  The egg, the artifacts, we've 
944got enough here to keep Project Magellan happy for years." 
945
946[11:27] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He scratched the back of his neck.*  "I guess?" 
947
948[11:28] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Of course. But you have to think of the symbolism of this place. The Scyrthi want to turn 
949their destiny around... imagine this city, the sight of their past glory. Something to push forwards, > 
950
951[11:28] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (Towards*)

953[11:28] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Maybe I'm just fed up because I feel like we could have been ready already had that briefing 
954not dragged on for so long." 
955
956[11:29] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "That's the point of meetings, don't you know?" 
957
958[11:29] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Something to unite them. Imagine them, restoring the city alongside their species, or perhaps 
959taking that giant statue of the Queen and making it the centerpiece of their new capital... there is such

961[11:29] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Potential..." 
962
963[11:29] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He stared at Kol.* "Then we should phase out verbal communication and get straight to the 
964point." 
965
966[11:31] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Plus, the avynei restoring this planet with their terraforming ships, so that the Scyrthi 
967could live here once again... it would be a massive show of cooperation, and determination, on the Dawn >

974[11:32] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "We've been trying on Betazed for ages, but all these non-telepaths..."  *He shrugged 
975and smirked.* 
976
977[11:33] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Of course. Should it succeed, it will be a giant blow against her. An entire species's hope 
978and will to fight, restored. The fear she thrives on, gone. Which is why this is one of the most important> 
979
980[11:34] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Undertakings in the LMC at this time. Everything we do here could have a resounding effect on 
981the future."

986
987[11:34] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Whatever happens next... it's going to change everything, I think." 
988
989[11:35] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "See, out of the question then." 
990
991[11:35] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Agreed. I am glad to have you, T'Vin and Jagoda by my side through it. I doubt any other team 
992would be able to pull results from this. Even the show-offs on the Enigma." 
993
994[11:36] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Well... not ALL the time." 
995
996[11:36] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  *She smiled.*  "We're all proud to serve under you, sir.  Even Jagoda." 
997
998[11:37] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Oh?  So it's only intimate when you make it that way?" 
999
1000[11:37] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Nah, I was just about to say that you and I should probably talk about the pace of how we 
1001want things to go out of the public eye." 
1002
1003[11:37] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "He's a good kid. All of you are." *He smiled back.* "Keep this up, and maybe New Hessok Vridi 
1004will have a nice street named after you." *He teased a bit, before taking a large gulp of his coffee.* 
1005
1006[11:38] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Fair enough... when this is all over, maybe?" 
1007
1008[11:38] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Of course." 
1009
1010[11:39] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It's mostly because I realized it's been a while and I don't want to give you a headache." 
1011
1012[11:39] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Oh, I doubt that, sir.  But I'm sure they'll name a few buildings and babies after 
1013the man who found their untampered DNA and helped identify their artifacts." 
1014
1015[11:40] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "It... has.  The old baby arm may not be up to the task." 
1016
1017[11:41] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh no, I am so mentioning you three's names the first chance I get. You do as much work up 
1018here as I do down there. Just... less evil women trapped in crystals." 
1019
1020[11:41] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: *He stands on his tip-toes to playfully tap Kol's temple.* "Yeah, we had to break that in, 
1021remember?" 
1022
1023[11:41] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "...And less XOs threatening you with talks and violence." 
1024
1025[11:42] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Well, hopefully much less evil women in crystals?" 
1026
1027[11:42] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Oh, how could I forget?" 
1028
1029[11:43] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hopefully. This time, we are ready for her, though. And we have a whole slew of crazy 
1030religious folks who think that meeting us was some kind of sign for their god, so fingers crossed." 
1031
1032[11:43] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: (From* their god) 
1033
1034[11:44] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "It never can just be straightforward, can it?" 
1035
1036[11:45] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I don't know, seems like it might have seemed less intense after two Klingons and a mek'leth 
1037in there somewhere." 
1038
1039[11:45] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, it was already bad enough without the kirtascans... They just doubled the craziness. At 
1040this point, all we need is a Q screwing around somewhere close by, and I can officially claim I have > 
1041
1042[11:46] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Been involved in one of starfleet's top ten most messed up situations...  At least in the 
1043past century." 
1044
1045[11:46] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  *He smirked at that.*  "Not to say anything about... what was it?  Three Orion 
1046masseuses?" 
1047
1048[11:47] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Risians, actually. I wasn't quite as lucky with the people who weren't culturally 
1049obligated." 
1050
1051[11:47] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Don't say that, now the religious zealots' god is going to end up being a Q." 
1052
1053[11:47] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Right, my bad." 
1054
1055[11:47] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor laughs.* "What happened to the good old days when it turned out to be someone from a 
1056spacefaring race who crashed on the planet and decided he wanted a harem of locals?" 
1057
1058[11:48] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I think they sensed the crazy." 
1059
1060[11:48] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "On that note, I'm going to ask the Captain for permission to take advanced self-defense 
1061training during duty hours." 
1062
1063[11:48] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "I'd hardly call those 'good old days.'" 
1064
1065[11:49] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Between the abduction and the bar fight I got into with a group of Nausicaans on Risa, I 
1066need to be able to handle myself." 
1067
1068[11:49] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "To... guard against the crazy?" 
1069
1070[11:49] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Well, simpler old days doesn't roll of the tongue as good." 
1071
1072[11:49] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Oh.  Well, that's a good idea.  Did you not take self defence courses at the Academy?" 
1073
1074[11:49] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Bare minimum." 
1075
1076[11:50] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "This is your first posting, right? No assignments before the pilgrim?" 
1077
1078[11:50] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "It wasn't a priority then." 
1079
1080[11:50] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Mhm, I'm fresh out the Academy, sir.  So are T'Vin and Jagoda." 
1081
1082[11:51] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "Well, maybe not fresh since we've been here almost nine months now..." 
1083
1084[11:51] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Going to ask security to let you sit in on a class, then?  Or take it to the 
1085holodeck?" 
1086
1087[11:52] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Nine months is not that much... Lucky you, all the fun things are just starting to happen. 
1088Religious zealots, ancient cities, all you need now is to meet an ancient godlike entity, be involved in a > 
1089
1090[11:52] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Temporal incident, and have an ill-advised workspace romance, and I'd say you're ticking off 
1091the Ensign's first year on board list quite well." 
1092
1093[11:52] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "I was going to request Ensign Teir, actually." 
1094
1095[11:53] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Oh, he's pretty good for an Ensign." 
1096
1097[11:54] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "He and I talked for a bit after that parallel reality incident. He went through some stuff, 
1098too, but unlike you and I, he didn't really get any closure." 
1099
1100[11:54] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "So, I want to get better at fighting, but I also want to make sure he's not still in a funk 
1101or anything." 
1102
1103[11:55] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Nice guy, here and over there. One of five people the other me trusted not to stab him in 
1104the back, really." 
1105
1106[11:55] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Otsuka]  "I think I'd just be satisfied with getting through the first year." 
1107
1108[11:56] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Oh... neat, I guess?" 
1109
1110[11:57] [DOIC4] Serris@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sorry. I'm better, but I still have these wonderful little identity crises every now and 
1111then and go off on tangents." 
1112
1113[11:57] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You're in the LMC, want it or not, the crazy will just keep on coming. Hey, at least it keeps 
1114life interesting. Imagine if we had to sit and stare at nothing all day like engineering do."
