1[9:09] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play...*
2
3[9:09] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The camera pans around the Protector as it is at high warp. It zooms in on Marcus as he gives his opening log...*
4
5[9:10] [DOIC] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: “Officer of the watch’s log, stardate 96537.7, Lieutenant Marcus Blaine in command.  They say all good things must come to and end; shore leave is now over and we’re back to work.  It was…
6
7[9:11] [DOIC] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: well, I’ll leave that for my personal logs.  We’re doing what the Protector does best, patrolling around the LMC for whatever may be lurking.  Nothing to report as of yet.  End log."
8
9[9:12] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus drew in a breath through his nose, leaning back in the big chair.*  "Anything fun showing up, Lieutenant Tegan?"
10
11[9:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --tap taps on the console scanning the area using the scanners--
12
13[9:12] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she finishes with the medical inputs on the ship personnel console*
14
15[9:12] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore watched the ship's performance on his monitors.* "How was leave, people?"
16
17[9:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: ---BLAM--
18
19[9:13] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *flies the protector while wondering why they keep getting patrols, but without actually complaning about it.*
20
21[9:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -stretches arching her back as she waits for her ACCI to finish receivng her updates, tapping the tip of her boot on the deck idlly-
22
23[9:13] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus blinked at Tegan.*
24
25[9:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "running scans now sir."
26
27[9:15] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Dame leaned his head against the bulkhead near his console*
28
29[9:15] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] It was fine.,
30
31[9:16] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay, keeps a coms sweep algorithym running while working her side project in another window.*
32
33[9:16] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Just fine?" *Swiped some at his screen, nodding appreciatively of what he sees.*
34
35[9:17] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded, focusing on the arm chair on the opposite side of the room V'Tira and T'Lena were standing on.*
36
37[9:17] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I guess it depends on what you consider 'fun', but I am not reading anything that seems all that 'fun'."
38
39[9:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- No monkies Exri?
40
41[9:17] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Interesting, unusual, worth taking a look into so we don't have to fly around for weeks navel-gazing?"
42
43[9:17] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *seemed to be moving her head to music only audible to her.*
44
45[9:18] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --stares at V'Tira-- "Dont even joke about that V'Tira."
46
47[9:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Juuuust fine.
48
49[9:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I only inquire oto be sure it was not spreading
50
51[9:18] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --swivels aroud and looks at Marcus-- "I am picking up an anomalous reading in orbit around a nearby planet."
52
53[9:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "There's plenty of monkeys in space.  You're on a ship full of them."
54
55[9:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Anomalous how?"
56
57[9:19] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Our team came in last place again in the Risa Open...*he said from near his console*
58
59[9:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "anomlous as in it is an anomoly. The comuter is unable to identify."
60
61[9:19] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *taps the console making th elittel protector shoot the falling asteroids*
62
63[9:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow as she reads over the Pilgrim update and shakes her head-
64
65[9:19] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Good to hear, Kara... and yikes. Gues there's next year?"
66
67[9:19] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Hearing her report, Shay looks for the direction and starts a more intensive study for communication transmissions.*
68
69[9:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus stared at her a moment.*  "So the computer is just reading a giant question mark?  Is it a signal?"
70
71[9:20] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *notices V'tira shake of the head* "V'Tira, any gossip?"
72
73[9:20] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --looks at the GM--
74
75[9:20] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I think I might write a book instead..
76
77[9:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -deadpans- Anamolous..adjective.....deviating from what is standard, normal, or expected.
78
79[9:21] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea... wait, what?!"
80
81[9:21] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *chuckles* Everything is always anomalous, deviated from the norm is the norm in this galaxy.
82
83[9:21] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he jumped up and looked around* What?!
84
85[9:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "An anomaly could be a number of different things.  I'm trying to see if we're dealing with an artificial satellite, a distress beacon, the Dark floating in space doing a stripper dance."
86
87[9:21] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: The latter might be fun to see.
88
89[9:21] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Nothing! You, writing a book? That's like, the last thing I imagined you wnting to do..."
90
91[9:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -deadpans further- synonyms:	abnormal, atypical, nontypical, irregular, aberrant, exceptional, freak, freakish, odd, bizarre, peculiar, unusual, out of the ordinary, inconsistent, incongruous, deviant
92
93[9:22] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus smirked slightly.*  "In any case, do we need to get closer to get a proper reading?"
94
95[9:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You have a strange definition of fun.
96
97[9:22] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "If its the latter, we record it and use it as blackmail to end the war?
98
99[9:22] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smirks and goes back to her very important tactical simulation against the asteroid menace*
100
101[9:22] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "V'Tira, if I wanted synonyms for 'anomaly' I'd have asked the computer."
102
103[9:22] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Points to the feed of the bridge.* "And that, kids, is how ancient planet-eating terrors tend to be awakened.*
104
105[9:22] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oh... well I don't like losing.. so.. why not write a book?
106
107[9:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You did seem at a loss for the words definition a moment ago
108
109[9:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am completing an analysis sir, it is some sort of sensor contact orbit the planet. an anomolous signal."
110
111[9:22] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Text to t'Lena* - did you turn on her vulcan switch? -
112
113[9:23] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Well... what's the book even gonna be about?"
114
115[9:23] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I was not.  Thank you for being so considerate though."  *He rubbed his beard.*
116
117[9:23] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *responds*-Txt- My fingers went no where near any sort of switches.
118
119[9:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Try and figure out what the signal is, have Baker and Shay help you."
120
121[9:24] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he shrugged* I dunno?
122
123[9:24] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I could probably give you more details if we moved in a littel closer so I could get a better scan."
124
125[9:24] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] A subject matter is normally a good start.
126
127[9:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Share the details with Lieutenant T'Sahriv."
128
129[9:25] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Helm, alter course to take us closer to the anomaly, but we aren't going directly there until we decipher that signal."
130
131[9:25] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I am efforting to assist. Ezri, I am turning focus of the subspace antenna as well."
132
133[9:25] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she quirks her head and closes her eyes a moment*
134
135[9:25] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I always kinda wanted to write something like... an aternate history."
136
137[9:25] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "For all we know it's an advert for an all-you-can-eat humanoid buffet and they're out of stock."
138
139[9:25] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --swivesl around and looks at T'sahriv.-- "I am sending you the coordinates. if we could do a close flyby or something."
140
141[9:25] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "So head in its general direction?"
142
143[9:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -clicks her tongue- Be wary of ancient malware
144
145[9:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ancient malware?
146
147[9:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -taps her nail on her LCARS display-
148
149[9:26] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Yes, just enough to get us a better reading on that signal."
150
151[9:26] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Maybe some character with something to do like a historical figure. Like, let's say Ambassador Spock had a human sister... No, wait, that's dumb as fuck."
152
153[9:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed Catherine...it appears to be a recent epidemic
154
155[9:26] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He scratched his cheek.*  "I'll bet you anything T'Ghor had something to do with it..."
156
157[9:26] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "...we have a good firewall and anti-virus since that last incident with the Captain downloafing from strange sites."
158
159[9:26] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I could maybe write a kids book? Oooh! Or maybe I can write a book about food traveling?
160
161[9:26] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *sets the course, and starts heading in the general direction of the thingie* "we are on our way"
162
163[9:27] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oooh. Not a bad idea."
164
165[9:27] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] How is something ancient, a recent epidemic?
166
167[9:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: When the Pilgrim interacts with it apparently
168
169[9:27] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I've always wanted to try denobulan food...
170
171[9:27] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Is that why we got another Long range patroll? dowloading of unknow things?"
172
173[9:27] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "well if it only affected the Pilgrim it is hardly an epidemic."
174
175[9:28] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Don't go to ferengi diners."
176
177[9:28] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I haven't downloaded anything from suspicious sites since I was a teen."
178
179[9:28] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Ezri- Where there is one infectius body there is always the possibility of more
180
181[9:28] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "By the sounds of things, our captain has"
182
183[9:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: a cautionary tale perhaps
184
185[9:29] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sherugs-- "that is why you dont touch bodies.."
186
187[9:29] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Unfortunately if I want to make a complete book, I'd need to.. *he made a face*
188
189[9:29] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Have a doctor on quick dial."
190
191[9:29] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He gave Ezri an odd look.*
192
193[9:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Well perhaps if Mister Blaine is lucky it wil in deed turn out to be the Dark dancing around his stripper pole
194
195[9:29] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Chuckles at what Ezri said on the bridge feed.*
196
197[9:29] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay glances curiously back to the rest of the crew, and realizing teh change in course, straps in before continuing to try to analyze the anomoly from her station.*
198
199[9:30] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I already got the first chapter down.. foods to never eat
200
201[9:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --turns back to analysing the anomlay.--
202
203[9:30] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Problem solved. *he brought up another readout on his screen*
204
205[9:30] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: A travynei strip club would be an interesting find.
206
207[9:30] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "The size of our galaxy, not to mention the LMC, you could make it into a whole book."
208
209[9:30] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We'd just drop in to sample the hot wings."
210
211[9:30] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Most asuredly a trap as well."
212
213[9:31] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she chuckles* Just calle it Dark Tails
214
215[9:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: or perhaps 'crimson delight' ?
216
217[9:31] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "I think the captain would be disapointed if the burgers and onion rings were not tried as well"
218
219[9:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or perhaps /Red/ Light District
220
221[9:32] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Crimson Nocturne
222
223[9:32] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Softly to herself* "I like onion rings."
224
225[9:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "well hmm, I am picking up radiation emitions."
226
227[9:32] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Truth be told, if the Captain was holed up in a Travynei strip club as we speak I wouldn't be even remotely surprised."
228
229[9:32] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is highly probably -nods-
230
231[9:32] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I might have to give him more shots.
232
233[9:33] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oh, that'd be a nice place to start..
234
235[9:33] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Little do they know he's into spots... "*To himself.*
236
237[9:33] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Yeah"
238
239[9:33] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles warmly*
240
241[9:33] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Radiation emissions?  Can you tell what it's emitting from?"
242
243[9:33] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *takes a glance at the form of radation*
244
245[9:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "from the general vicinity of the anomaly."
246
247[9:33] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Hmm? What? *to Bore*
248
249[9:34] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, nothin'. Just trying to clear disturbing images from my mind."
250
251[9:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus just looked at Tegan.*  "As in, can you tell what the anomaly is yet?"
252
253[9:34] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Tegan what type of radiation?
254
255[9:35] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "The radiation doesn't appear to offer a pattern, I do not believe there is any form of communication occuring."
256
257[9:35] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Yeah no let's not go sharing then.
258
259[9:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "some sort of Delta radiation. but, no I can't identify the anomoly.""
260
261[9:36] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Suggest we raise shields if we are going in Mr Blaine. Delta radiation can be particularly nasty.
262
263[9:36] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It's the last thing I wanna share... Either way, you ever feel like the bridge types are even less organized and focused than us most the time?"
264
265[9:37] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Prolongued exposure can cause cellular decay.
266
267[9:37] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Agreed.  And we should see what's spewing that kind of sh-"  *He caught himself.*  "Radiation out into the galaxy so we could drop a hazard warning if need be."
268
269[9:37] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Take us in closer, have our shields raised."
270
271[9:37] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "i could be a poorly shielded warp core."
272
273[9:38] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Could be something in the air up there? We should probably send someone up to check on the systems
274
275[9:38] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Damaged Antimatter ordinance can cause it as well.
276
277[9:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "but, if that is the case the crew of whatever vessel it may be is likely dead."
278
279[9:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Shall I update the Citadel?
280
281[9:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --nods at T'lena.--
282
283[9:38] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Do so, tell them we're investigating the anomaly."
284
285[9:38] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she issues an order to sickbay to prepare delta radiation rescue injections just in case.*
286
287[9:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Raising shields.
288
289[9:39] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *Since to Tactical officer, raises the shields while flying in closer*
290
291[9:39] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Nah. We'd have found it by now."
292
293[9:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods and sends out the encoded and encrypted update subspace burst to the Citadel-
294
295[9:40] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it could also be an automated orbita weapon platform...in that case it would not really need radiation shielding."
296
297[9:41] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It could be a number of things, that's why we're looking into it."
298
299[9:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Basically our mandate
300
301[9:41] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: You could be right...By the way.. Is game night still on?
302
303[9:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is a wise decision sir."
304
305[9:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I make them from time to time.  Helm, take us in."
306
307[9:42] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, course it is."
308
309[9:42] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Maybe the stripclubs neon sign is antimatter powers *she mumbles and chuckles*
310
311[9:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -coughs-
312
313[9:42] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "IN close?"
314
315[9:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He rubbed his nose.*  "Edge of the system it's in, no need to jam our faces in it like a dog sticking its nose in a hornet's nest.  We're trying not to get stung."
316
317[9:43] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I call dibs on the shoe if it's monopoly.
318
319[9:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I reccomnd the systems Oort cloud
320
321[9:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Make it so."
322
323[9:44] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dably] The shoe?
324
325[9:44] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Excelent" *sets the course for the edge of the system and heads there, following the V'tira recomendation* "in route"
326
327[9:44] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Sir, if I may point out.  The presence of the delta radiation in the system may distort sensor reading.  We may wish to plot a course which allows an off axis aspect scan as well."
328
329[9:44] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "The game board piece, Kara. And I ant the hat anyways."
330
331[9:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I reccomend perhaps a class VI probe
332
333[9:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: its hielding should ward off such radiation
334
335[9:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Prep the probe for when we get there, then."
336
337[9:45] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Oh man.. I totally forgot to show you that game...
338
339[9:45] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --begins prepping a probe.--
340
341[9:45] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "We can teach you now, though."
342
343[9:46] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Well... not now-now, but you get it."
344
345[9:46] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Dame totally didn't get his hopes up*
346
347[9:47] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Actually you can have the shoe Kara.. I'll be the cowboy hat.
348
349[9:47] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh..."
350
351[9:48] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: What?
352
353[9:48] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Nothin'."
354
355[9:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ezri do not forget to name the probe
356
357[9:49] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he faced his console again and frowned slightly*
358
359[9:49] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she moves her head a little in time*
360
361[9:49] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Not a priority."
362
363[9:49] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Name it the deanomalizer.
364
365[9:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It would make it simplier for the log
366
367[9:50] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "DJ Probe"
368
369[9:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I will name him George."
370
371[9:50] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "WE are arriving" *brings the ship to a stop at the Oort cloud*
372
373[9:50] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well it is curious by desing.
374
375[9:51] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Good, get me a visual of the system when we stop."
376
377[9:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks back over her shoulder at Marcus as George is christianed-
378
379[9:51] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --enters the anem George into the log.--
380
381[9:51] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector comes to a complete stop inside the cloud.*
382
383[9:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Onscreen.
384
385[9:52] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We should set up a second or third probe within the Oort cloud...it is comprised mostly of ice and rock...it would or should have a foot print of any system wide disaster locked in this outer field
386
387[9:52] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "George is ready to go."
388
389[9:52] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay makes sure to track the signal from 'George' to check for anomolies in signal for study, and black list them from additional sweep looking for new signal.*
390
391[9:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: This is the birthplace of the systems comets
392
393[9:53] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The viewscreen comes to life as a massive ball of light is seen orbiting the planet.*
394
395[9:53] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "preparing a second probe.."
396
397[9:53] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh... is that a... mini-star-ish thing?"
398
399[9:53] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -holdds up three fingers to Ezri-
400
401[9:54] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well. Not a strip club. Let us hope we are not moths.
402
403[9:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...What the hell is that?"  *His brow furrowed and he leaned forward a bit in the chair.*  "Drop the probe and establish two more in V'Tira's specification.
404
405[9:54] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she moves to take a better look at the viewscreen*
406
407[9:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that isn't how you do the Vulcan salute V'Tira."
408
409[9:54] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Could just be a really bright advertisement sign?"
410
411[9:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quriks a brow at th ball of light- Curious....
412
413[9:54] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Hopefully it doesn't eat starships..
414
415[9:55] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Let's be fair, it probably does."
416
417[9:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No Ezri..it is not..it was a subtle suggestion to create a second and third probe for the Oort cloud
418
419[9:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "oh..."
420
421[9:55] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Are there any other forms of exotic radiation coming from that thing?
422
423[9:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: If that is a stable orbit...i doubt this is of natural origin
424
425[9:55] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Man.. I want to make a book about -me- eating food.. not me -being- the food!
426
427[9:56] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Meh. The LMC is never about what you want."
428
429[9:56] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Yeah.. I'll pass on the fisting..
430
431[9:56] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "prepares the second and third probe.--
432
433[9:57] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he blinked and looked at Bore apologetically* Sorry.. just slipped out.
434
435[9:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "should I launch George?"
436
437[9:57] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I already said to drop the probe, Ezri."
438
439[9:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -pinches the bridge of her nose-
440
441[9:58] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Don't worry. I've had worse."
442
443[9:58] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --launches the probe.--
444
445[9:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Bon Voyage 'George'
446
447[9:58] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Dude.. same.. *he returned his attention back to the feed*
448
449[9:58] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Hopefully you are not provoking a giant death monster"
450
451[9:59] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *'George' departs the Protector.*
452
453[9:59] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well if we do, it'll eat George first and then we'll escape."
454
455[9:59] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --turns to T'sahriv.-- "I know right? that would suck."
456
457[9:59] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "goodbye george."
458
459[9:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -coughs to cover her true reaction for Shay's comment-
460
461[10:01] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she watches the screen*
462
463[10:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am naming the two new probes Gracie and Jack."
464
465[10:01] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *'George' seemingly heads inside of the ball of the light.*
466
467[10:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Ezri at this-
468
469[10:02] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...Fine.  Whatever you want."  *He said, just watching the ball of light on the screen.*
470
471[10:02] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Hopefully it thinks George taste like shit..
472
473[10:02] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: To bad its not a different color.
474
475[10:02] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Would be pretty in purple.
476
477[10:02] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I hope so cause it just ate him."
478
479[10:02] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles*
480
481[10:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --monitors George on the screen.--
482
483[10:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Can we get a visual from the probe, assuming it's not just a giant screen flare that'll burn out my corneas?"
484
485[10:03] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "May I point out, we are trying to ascertain what it is,  If it is ship, it may not be able to sense we are here. But directed comunication might cause it to react.  We could send a signal.  Have >
486
487[10:03] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: George say Hello."
488
489[10:03] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Not yet."
490
491[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I think we lost that chance when the ball of light was penetrated just now by George
492
493[10:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I can attempt to do so.
494
495[10:04] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore turned down the bridge feed screen's brightness down just in case.*
496
497[10:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy puts up a visual, which just appears to be a white screen.*
498
499[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is is a ship..its aware of something just happened
500
501[10:04] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy puts up a visual, which just appears to be a white screen.*
502
503[10:04] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *forsome reason looks down at her console*
504
505[10:04] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay checks for any contnuing data stream from George.*
506
507[10:05] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "surely if there is anyone home then they know the probe is there by now."
508
509[10:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Keep going.  There's got to be something emitting that radiation and light in the core."
510
511[10:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Would be quite difficult to miss with George inside of them now
512
513[10:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He eyed V'Tira briefly.*
514
515[10:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -is studying her readouts-
516
517[10:06] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Well.. she's not wrong..
518
519[10:06] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I think Shay's idea is the most logical, an attempt to establish communications."
520
521[10:06] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Maybe we should have named the probe Bob.
522
523[10:06] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she mutters to herself*
524
525[10:06] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "V'Tira, you assuming this is a giant sentient thing like the ship eating deathcloud?"
526
527[10:06] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sighs* "Or Dick."
528
529[10:07] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she laughs outloud*
530
531[10:07] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea, calling the probe penetrating that thing "Dick."..."
532
533[10:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No...I am asuming it an illuminated sphere of light that generates radiation and energy...that has been penetrated by our probe
534
535[10:07] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus rubbed his forehead some.*  "Repeating suggestions that I have already said we are going to do after we finish with the first attempt is not going to make it happen any faster."
536
537[10:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: if it is sentient..it should be quite aware of George by now
538
539[10:07] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Fair"
540
541[10:07] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Yikes... *he glanced over to his right*
542
543[10:08] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "I just fly this tourbus"
544
545[10:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to the other member of TPV-
546
547[10:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Was there any indication from George of a reaction from the object at the moment of penetration?
548
549[10:08] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Tegan, what kind of readings are we getting from this thing now that we're on the inside?"
550
551[10:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --checks the readings--
552
553[10:09] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *spends her time with the navigational sensors, looking for other ships and the likes*
554
555[10:10] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "All I am reading is additional radiation, mostly overwhelming the sensors. there does not appears to be anything solid inside the corer of that thing."
556
557[10:11] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He sighed.*  "Alright.  Let's send an open comm, see if this is somehow Muggins' daddy."
558
559[10:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "maybe it is a will-o-the-wisp. You know like a ghost light."
560
561[10:12] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Muggin?"
562
563[10:12] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Never mind.  Get me a channel open."
564
565[10:13] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Channel open sir.. what would you like George to say?"
566
567[10:14] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well if it is Ms. Tegan we shall have to watch our step.
568
569[10:14] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He gave Shay an unamused look and turned back around.*  "This is Lieutenant Marcus Blaine on the U.S.S. Protector representing the United Federation of Planets.  Please respond."
570
571[10:16] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Nothing on channel, I am seening no form of communicatoin.  Ezri, do you see any change in the radiation?"
572
573[10:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It can't just be pure light... there's got to be an origin point..."  *He frowned slightly.*
574
575[10:19] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Could it be a distortion in space time, like a wormhole creating a window to a point inside a star perhaps?"
576
577[10:20] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: What if it is some from of probe itself.
578
579[10:20] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Doesn't respond unless you unlock it with its handshake codes.
580
581[10:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It could be, or an atmospheric reflection of the planet it's orbiting... get a scan of the planet, and check for any unusual particles that might indicate space/time distortion."
582
583[10:25] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "radiation emissions have not changed any."
584
585[10:25] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus frowned.*  "What about the planetary scan?"
586
587[10:25] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --scans the planey for space/time distortion.--
588
589[10:26] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "nothing on or near the planet that might indicate any spacetime distortions of any kind."
590
591[10:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I wonder...perhaps try to communicate with it...using the probe's running lights? Perhaps its form of cummunication differs from our own?
592
593[10:27] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "So it's just sitting there glowing?"  *He nodded then.*  "That was going to be my next attempt.  Make it happen."
594
595[10:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Marcus at this-
596
597[10:27] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What form of light based communication?
598
599[10:28] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "compared to the emissions of this thing, the rpobes running lights would not likely even register."
600
601[10:28] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I don't know.  Flash 'Hi how are you' in old Morse code."
602
603[10:28] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We'd take the probe out first, of course."
604
605[10:28] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay runs the light through a spetrum analizer to look for any microdevations which might be signals.*
606
607[10:29] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I doubt it will understand morse code.
608
609[10:29] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Perhaps something more elemental Mr Blaine.
610
611[10:29] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "No shit it won't..."  *He made a face.*  "I mean... of course it won't.  We're just running tests to see if it will respond to anything."
612
613[10:31] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she chuckles* I was merely offering a suggestion as to what might stimulate a response.
614
615[10:31] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Elements are pretty universal and anything that can build something like that would likely understand something like hyrdogen.
616
617[10:31] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Noted, but whatever we flash at it we're literally just trying to get a response.  I doubt it actually matters."
618
619[10:32] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Having George flash it may be the best idea, when he is clear of the anomoly that is."
620
621[10:32] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I already said that, Shay."
622
623[10:32] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I was agreeing with you sir."
624
625[10:32] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: George flashing... good thing we didn't name it dick..
626
627[10:33] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea..."
628
629[10:33] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He leaned down to place his forehead in his palm.*
630
631[10:34] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Regardless, we need to move the probe far away enough so it can be seen.
632
633[10:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sends signal to George to get clear of the anomoly and hold for command to send signal.--
634
635[10:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...I already said that, too."
636
637[10:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He sat up then.*  "Here's another thought.  Cycle colours, too.  Let's see what that does to it."
638
639[10:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Just waiting on George. Commands sent."
640
641[10:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "After the initial test, then."
642
643[10:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "...I recommend sending signals in the delta radiation band."
644
645[10:36] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The probe moves out of the ball of the light to face it.*
646
647[10:36] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she leans over quietly* Relax Mr Blaine, you are doing fine.
648
649[10:37] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Probe ready to send test signal."
650
651[10:37] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Stick that in the 'ideas to try after this one' pile, too."  *He glanced briefly at T'Lena with a slight nod.*
652
653[10:37] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Do it."
654
655[10:37] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --seds the comand to send test signal.--
656
657[10:37] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay brings up second and third windows, focusing on the other two probes.*
658
659[10:37] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she steps back and pulls up a PADD to check something*
660
661[10:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Perhaps flash a series of prime numbers to it?
662
663[10:38] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Put it in the pile."
664
665[10:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Pile?
666
667[10:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -blinks-
668
669[10:39] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "The suggestion pile that's been building up since we decided to try this."
670
671[10:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is a good idea V'Tira. Who doesn't like math?"
672
673[10:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: nods to Ezri- Indeed
674
675[10:39] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A series of flashes emanate from the ball of light.*
676
677[10:39] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "ALot of people"
678
679[10:39] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He sat up at that.*  "You all see that?"
680
681[10:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "hey I think it responded."
682
683[10:39] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay blinks, and smiles*
684
685[10:39] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Interesting.
686
687[10:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -dryly- You may all worship me now
688
689[10:40] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Maybe later V'tira. Prostrating on the bridge might be frowned upon.
690
691[10:40] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Let's figure out what that response was.  Did it imitate our message or is there a pattern it's sending?"
692
693[10:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am having the computer analyse the sensor data to see if there was any detectable pattern there."
694
695[10:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it seems it was just imitating the message."
696
697[10:42] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay makes sure the UT is online to analyze the data coming from George, and keeps an eye on Gracie and Jack's data*
698
699[10:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "but, that is something...right?"
700
701[10:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed
702
703[10:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He rubbed his bearded chin.*  "It is.  Flash it with a red light, let's see what it does."
704
705[10:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We just need to establish a vocalbulary based on itermitted light flashes...see if once it follows it makes up its own responses based on the foundation
706
707[10:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --turns to the console and send the command to flash it with red light.--
708
709[10:43] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Perhaps display the numbers out of sequence at the end.. See if it corrects us.
710
711[10:44] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, the universal colour for hostile intentions?"
712
713[10:44] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: That would suggest two way communication.
714
715[10:44] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "After this."
716
717[10:44] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Should I divert power to the engines now?
718
719[10:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No no i agree with a variance in  spectruums as well
720
721[10:44] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *There is a light flash in response.*
722
723[10:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Color based might be of importance if it responds
724
725[10:44] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Should do blue next..
726
727[10:45] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Fascinating.
728
729[10:45] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it responded."
730
731[10:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is possible...it may be of a simpified intellignece...or a child perhaps'
732
733[10:45] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "A baby Q?"
734
735[10:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps or a specie similar to Organians
736
737[10:46] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "or it could be lulling us into a false sense of security."
738
739[10:46] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Don't most children.
740
741[10:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It could also be a hyper evolved monkey
742
743[10:46] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *stretches her arms before putting her hands behind her head and leaning back in her chair*
744
745[10:46] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I thought that Ezri, its why i'm keeping my eye on the feeds from the other probes."
746
747[10:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus considered this.*  "Try the out of sequence numbers T'Lena suggested, let's see if it corrects us."
748
749[10:46] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --stares hard at V'Tira.--
750
751[10:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -avoids Ezri's gaze as she watches her screen-
752
753[10:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sends a set of out of sequence numbers.--
754
755[10:49] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *There are multiple flashes in response.*
756
757[10:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it did respond with a correction..."
758
759[10:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: So either it is self aware...or...someone is controlling it as we are controling our probe
760
761[10:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --nods to V'Tira.--
762
763[10:50] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I guess we coud keep it? It's kinda cute."
764
765[10:51] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Shay, could you create a cypher with that?
766
767[10:51] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Use the fact that it can respond with a correction to build a translation language?
768
769[10:53] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Try comparing it to other light based languages, particularly any found in the LMC."
770
771[10:53] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I have the UT on it already.  I would suggest continuing to build on it."
772
773[10:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Your morse code suggestion was actually not a poor suggestion
774
775[10:54] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smirks* "Maybe the equation for a circle, missing the constant of pi?"
776
777[10:54] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: circumference**
778
779[10:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "You heard her, keep sending them light.  Equations, elements, see how they react."
780
781[10:54] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Make sure it has something for them to correct?
782
783[10:54] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Sneak a few mistakes in there, yes."
784
785[10:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You might also try spectrum nutonals
786
787[10:55] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: with delta radition variables
788
789[10:55] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Try it all, let's get Shay what she needs."
790
791[10:58] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I would suggest once you have run through the elements, go back and give the elemental analysis of the star, percentage of each element, and then "this" designator for star. A first word."
792
793[10:59] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "okay, let me set this up."
794
795[10:59] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --works on stuff.--
796
797[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: switching over my primary subsapce arrays to you as well Shay -switches them over to her-
798
799[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It should increase you range of responses
800
801[11:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: your*
802
803[11:01] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay requests the computer to analyse local space and try to establish if this is a local or localized phenomena, possibly a gravitational lensing effect.*
804
805[11:03] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she tilts her head to either side a moment then looks back on shay at work.*
806
807[11:03] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: *follows what is going on*
808
809[11:04] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus rolled his shoulders as the nerds did their nerd thing.*
810
811[11:04] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --sends some light based maths--
812
813[11:04] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Using the long range, requesting from Citadel any data on light based communication points or phenomena on record.*
814
815[11:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Shay-
816
817[11:06] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I can't help but feel like a cat playing with a point of light on the floor.  But the readings say it's there, not projected."
818
819[11:07] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *
820
821[11:07] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Thank you Ezri, I think we may have enough.. I am going to try to send a standard greeting, with your permission sir?"
822
823[11:08] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded.*  "Please do."
824
825[11:08] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay sends through George, a standard hail using the blinky method.*
826
827[11:09] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --monitors the probe telemetry.--
828
829[11:09] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore handed Dame and the otthers a grilled cheese sandwich each.*
830
831[11:09] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Then bit into his own.*
832
833[11:09] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "We have received a Hello sir."
834
835[11:09] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thane] What is this?
836
837[11:10] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Human food, 's good."
838
839[11:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well, now we're getting something.  Ask their name."
840
841[11:10] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: ...We can eat on duty? *he looked around*
842
843[11:11] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *smiles*
844
845[11:11] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Not in general, but I'll turn a blind eye to it, considering the circumstances."
846
847[11:11] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --notes the reading of grilled cheese on the internal sensors.--
848
849[11:11] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay real time with the order sends the question, using her skill to simplify and the UT to translate into light and back*
850
851[11:11] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Thane] I am not interested.
852
853[11:12] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Sweet.. I'll have yours then, *he took thane's sandwich and ate it along with his own*
854
855[11:13] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "oh.. what is name..." *she sends back* -A point of reference, meaning self,  we are Protector.-
856
857[11:13] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Hope all of you know not to eat next to the open machinery."
858
859[11:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious
860
861[11:14] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Interesting, designations may not be required.
862
863[11:14] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "It claims to not know what it is called."
864
865[11:14] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Does it know who built it?
866
867[11:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Inquire of its purpose perhaps
868
869[11:15] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Maybe not, but it's a good ice breaker at least..."  *He shrugged.*  "Ask if it knows what it is."
870
871[11:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It should know that -nods-
872
873[11:15] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she pauses when blaine speaks*
874
875[11:15] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sending back" - 'what are you?' 'what is your purpose?' -
876
877[11:16] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Sure, of course.. *he nodded and munched away*
878
879[11:18] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: 'Interesting, it only seems to know that it exists.  Self awareness, but not knowledge of it's creation or purpose. Existentially similar to philosophy I have read."
880
881[11:18] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "perhaps it was just born?"
882
883[11:18] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Perhaps ask it how long it has been here?
884
885[11:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Hm, ask how long it's been here."
886
887[11:18] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He glanced at T'Lena briefly.*
888
889[11:19] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smirks to Marcus*
890
891[11:19] [DOIC1] T'sahriv@awendra: "Hopefully it has a refrence or idea of time then"
892
893[11:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ezri might correct
894
895[11:19] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: That should be easy to teach using solar revolutions.
896
897[11:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "maybe its mother will be back soon..."
898
899[11:19] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He looked back at the viewscreen.*  "Number of rotations---"
900
901[11:19] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay sends a reference to the planet's spin, a reference to the planet's orbit, both as markers of 'time'.  Then asks how long has it been there?*
902
903[11:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shook his head.*  "You need to stop doing that, Doc."
904
905[11:20] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "and tear us to bits for messing with her baby."
906
907[11:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -rubs the bridge of her nose at Ezri's comment-
908
909[11:20] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: What?
910
911[11:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It would only mess with George, he was the one who went inside it."
912
913[11:20] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Again.....Ezri might be right..though this might give new meaning to the term 'stellar nusery'
914
915[11:20] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Read my mind, Doc."
916
917[11:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that is true, sir. it would likely attack George."
918
919[11:21] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I was not aware I was a telepath. *she smiles*
920
921[11:21] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Neither was I."  *He didn't look at her.*
922
923[11:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am boradening my scans to see if I detect similar signatures to our new friend 'Blinky'"
924
925[11:22] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she bites her tongue a moment and shakes her head*
926
927[11:22] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "...We're not naming it Blinky."
928
929[11:22] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "It does not keep time... at least not in that way.." *She sends* -Do you understand the references of time?-
930
931[11:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I just did sir."
932
933[11:22] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He glared at Ezri.*
934
935[11:22] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "We are totally naming him Blinky."
936
937[11:23] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I agree with th nomenclature of..Blinky
938
939[11:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --scans using long range sensors for signatures similar to Blinky--
940
941[11:23] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "It understands the time reference points, it simply hasn't bothered to count time I think.  It meant nothing to it."
942
943[11:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He blew out a gentle breath.*  "Alright.  Ask if there are any others of its kind."
944
945[11:24] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Shall I send an update to the Citadel?
946
947[11:24] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Sure, maybe they'll send us a Glowy Lights expert."
948
949[11:25] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: big luminescent interstellar newly contacted entity.
950
951[11:25] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Blincie
952
953[11:25] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Yes sir." *she sends* - Are you singular, one of a kind? or are there others like you?-
954
955[11:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sends all current findings on the contact with 'Blinky' -
956
957[11:25] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: blince*
958
959[11:25] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Blinky....update has been send
960
961[11:25] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "if there are more of them, woudln't be bad to have nightlights in the black ocean.
962
963[11:25] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: (( bah i left out a word intersteller new contacted intelligence entity))
964
965[11:26] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -adds Marcus' request for a possible 'Glowy Expert' consultation-
966
967[11:27] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Update and request dispatched
968
969[11:27] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *She sends back* -You are old then by your understanding, how would you measure your existance?-
970
971[11:27] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "It said it has not encountered any like it for some time.. i am trying to acertain what some time means."
972
973[11:28] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Ezri can I see the energy readings from Blinky?
974
975[11:28] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Sure, doc."
976
977[11:28] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I think it already told us it doesn't keep track of time in any way we can measure."
978
979[11:28] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --calls up the energy spectrum readings--
980
981[11:29] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *looks at them*
982
983[11:29] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps we should teach Blinky how to define the passage of time
984
985[11:29] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Not locally, but we have capability to study more than just this star system.  I suggest elemental decay rates, half life or something"
986
987[11:29] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Curious.
988
989[11:30] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well whatever is causing the spark of intelligence is unlike anything we've encountered.
990
991[11:30] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Synthetic or Organic.
992
993[11:31] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded.*  "Well, here's an idea.  Ask it if it needs anything, if we can help it in any way as a sign of our new friendship."
994
995[11:31] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "We have not found any phsycial point yet, only energy, that I saw.. did I miss something?".. Oh, yes sir."
996
997[11:31] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Why not teach it orbital dynamics? as a basis for simple time dilation?
998
999[11:32] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *she sends* - We are peaceful explorers, seeking friendship and co-existance.  Is there some way we may help or assist you?-
1000
1001[11:32] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "sensors never read any solid object a the cneter of that ball of light."
1002
1003[11:33] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "It could be an entirely photonic life form?"  *he looked at Ezri.*
1004
1005[11:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it could be sir."
1006
1007[11:33] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: That was what I was looking for.
1008
1009[11:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "an energy based life form."
1010
1011[11:33] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Something to indicate how its intelligence functions. In the end all we are are energy based thought machines.
1012
1013[11:34] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I am uncertain how that would work doctor."
1014
1015[11:34] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Nuerons, Transistors, Positronic brains are all based on the the concept of binary energy transference.
1016
1017[11:34] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Most of us get meat suits to contain that thought machine, though."
1018
1019[11:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: or plsnt suits -offers-
1020
1021[11:35] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He frowned.*
1022
1023[11:35] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Exactly. But Holograms don't yet they think similar with positronic energy patterns. Though holography is a little out my expertise I mainly deal in organic and synthetic brains.
1024
1025[11:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "But, its pysical form could also be outside of out normal space and time."
1026
1027[11:35] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sending back* -Are you capable of changing form, size, shape, matter states?-
1028
1029[11:35] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: That would be interesting. Some sort of echo into our time. A ghost as you compared it earlier.
1030
1031[11:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "holgrams still need projectors to work."
1032
1033[11:36] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Yes, that is why I thought it might be a projection.. but if it is, I cannot tell from where."
1034
1035[11:37] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well, keep a dialogue going, let's learn what we can from it and then flag it for the Magellan science party."
1036
1037[11:37] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Shay does it eat?
1038
1039[11:37] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sending* -Is this your natural state?-
1040
1041[11:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Or the 'Glowy Expert'
1042
1043[11:37] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "It does not think there is anything we can do to assist or help it."
1044
1045[11:38] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "An expert in glowies would be helpful, yes."
1046
1047[11:38] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I put in your request for such concerning Blinky
1048
1049[11:38] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Alright.  Well, if it doesn't need anything from us, we've said hello.  Wrap up anything you want to check and then we should return to our patrol route."
1050
1051[11:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Marcus- You do realize our current 'Glowy Expert' on staff with the Project will most likely be 'Muggins' yes?
1052
1053[11:40] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well, yes.  I said from the start that there was a resemblance."
1054
1055[11:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Muggins...
1056
1057[11:40] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: What is a muggins?
1058
1059[11:40] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sending* -Are you capable of moving through space, and interacting in other forms?-
1060
1061[11:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -deadpans to T'Lena- a Glowy
1062
1063[11:41] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "What is a muggins was my question as well... I am uncertain that a glowy quite makes a sufficient answer."
1064
1065[11:41] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well the people who Muggins hangs out with will know more about 'glowies' than we do."
1066
1067[11:41] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is some form of sentient light bssed life form..which is curretnly been adopted by the crew of the Adagio
1068
1069[11:42] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: I see.
1070
1071[11:42] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Perhaps a cousin then.
1072
1073[11:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is a possibility
1074
1075[11:42] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sending* - Do you wish to be left alone or would you wish further contat?-
1076
1077[11:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Their sensor suite is was better than ours, anyway... or, wait, aren't they still doing donuts in that new ship?"
1078
1079[11:42] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *way ))
1080
1081[11:43] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -drly-...doing...donuts.....-sigh-
1082
1083[11:43] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He shrugged.*  "They have to test out the engine after all."
1084
1085[11:43] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "If there is a possible connection to this muggins, I would agree they should make contact.  I have asked if it wishes further contact or to be left alone since there is nothing we can offer it.  It >
1086
1087[11:43] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: responded that it is open to further contact."
1088
1089[11:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am unsure the Aesir is in the LMC as of yet
1090
1091[11:44] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Would seem silly to take a new ship on shakedown directly into a combat zone. But I am not Starfleet.
1092
1093[11:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -deadpans- Then they should be here soon
1094
1095[11:45] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Sir, I would suggest we make notes in the log, say our farewell and continue on.  Let others build on our work."
1096
1097[11:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Well whether it's the Aesir, Adagio, or anyone else, there doesn't seem to be much more we can do here.  Thank them for the chat, tell them there'll be more of us coming to continue contact, and...
1098
1099[11:45] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: let's get back on our patrol route."
1100
1101[11:46] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Wait, Have we seen if it has any quesitons for us?
1102
1103[11:46] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: So far we seem to have played interrogator right?
1104
1105[11:46] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --waves at the main viewer.-- "Good bye Blinky."
1106
1107[11:46] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "I would assume Shay already asked."
1108
1109[11:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Has she -looks to Shay-
1110
1111[11:47] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "I asked if there was anything we could offer to help or assist it... answering questions should fall under that i believe.  Would you wish me to be more basic with that question?"
1112
1113[11:47] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Sure."
1114
1115[11:48] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sending* - We will contact you again, or others of our people will.  For now, is there anything you would ask of us? -
1116
1117[11:49] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Sending* - Thank you for opening dialogue, we are exited to meet new beings and make contact.  We bid you farewell, and peace. -
1118
1119[11:49] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "No sir, it has no questions of us, and understand others will be back to open dialogue again."
1120
1121[11:50] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Perhaps we should leave a probe with our cutlural database to share.
1122
1123[11:50] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: In case blinky gets bored.
1124
1125[11:50] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Alright.  Well, let's get back on patrol, let George stay behind just in case."
1126
1127[11:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I would leave the other two as well
1128
1129[11:51] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Fine."
1130
1131[11:52] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Ready to resume warp at your command, sir.
1132
1133[11:52] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay sets george to power saving, station keeping mode, and attempts to uplink through gracie a link to Citadel (subspace, not acci) to let them know if he attempts further contact.*
1134
1135[11:52] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus sat up in the chair.*  "Engage."
1136
1137[11:53] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Protector jumps back into warp.*
1138
1139[11:53] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay makes notes in the communication logs about the aspects the contact claimed to hold.*
1140
1141[11:54] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *sits down to start chronically new species encounter into medical databse*
1142
1143[11:55] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus tapped out a rhythm on his knees with his hands.*  "Alright.  Good job, let's call up the next watch."
1144
1145[11:56] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] =^= Beta watch, please report to your stations.
1146
1147[11:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -texts to someone-
1148
1149[11:56] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Riiiiight. Congratulations, we got a new pet. Snow is on litterbox duty. Anyways, you're free to rest."
1150
1151[11:57] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Alpha watch engineers begins filtering out.*
1152
1153[11:58] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she finishes with the entry, what little there was for it*
1154
1155[11:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am curious about something however
1156
1157[11:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to marcus-
1158
1159[11:58] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Yes, V'Tira?"
1160
1161[11:58] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Why did we depart?
1162
1163[11:58] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Enters the mess, replicating himself more grilled cheese.*
1164
1165[11:59] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "There wasn't much else to do there, it didn't seem to need our help or have any questions for us.  We said hello, marked it down, and we're continuing on our patrol route."
1166
1167[11:59] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I...see
1168
1169[11:59] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay remains on station formatting the communications parameters into the UT in a less ad hoc and efficient form, preparing to upload with the next databurst to Citadel*
1170
1171[12:00] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "If you had more things you wanted to do there, you should've spoken up."
1172
1173[12:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We only observed Blinky for a short amount of time however
1174
1175[12:00] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "We're not a science vessel, V'Tira."
1176
1177[12:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: No...but we are equipt to observe and analyze and record until one arrives
1178
1179[12:01] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *raises an eyebrow*
1180
1181[12:01] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Why didn't you raise these concerns before we left?"
1182
1183[12:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow-
1184
1185[12:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Only because it just now occured to me...hence my inquiry
1186
1187[12:01] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "We are still in contact with the probes Ma'am"
1188
1189[12:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: True, I was only inquiring
1190
1191[12:02] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He went to get up.*  "Shay's right.  If there's anything else to record or observe the probes will gather that."
1192
1193[12:02] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: *Dame went into the messhall and got himself some tacos*
1194
1195[12:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps
1196
1197[12:02] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay smiles*
1198
1199[12:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: however probes only record...not respond.
1200
1201[12:03] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "So... trying for Kara again?"
1202
1203[12:03] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "It may be time delayed, but George is still set up to respond with our messages."
1204
1205[12:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...I do not question the foundational logic
1206
1207[12:04] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He nodded at that.*  "And now you have your answers.  It's Magellan's case now."
1208
1209[12:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He went to step down from the central dais.*
1210
1211[12:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- we are an extension of that Project
1212
1213[12:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "V'Tira, stop arguing with me just for the sake of arguing."
1214
1215[12:05] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: What.. *he bit into his taco and slowly began savoring it* how did you even reach?
1216
1217[12:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not believe that is my intention
1218
1219[12:05] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she squints a moment at V'tira then shakes her head* On CAP aren't we? Would not a long delay mean that an area of the patrol route would go unscanned?
1220
1221[12:05] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He just gave her a look and waited for the next officer of the watch.*
1222
1223[12:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I was not aware of any current overt hosilities at present
1224
1225[12:06] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Its the covert ones that scare me.
1226
1227[12:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: as such our patrols do have an inbuilt redundancy as well
1228
1229[12:07] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she chuckles*
1230
1231[12:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: we are not the only ship on this vector of patrol
1232
1233[12:07] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He rubbed his temples.*
1234
1235[12:07] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You seemed... I dunno. Like a flash of eagerness, when I suggested we teach her Monopoly?"
1236
1237[12:08] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *shrugs*
1238
1239[12:08] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "SIr, if I may.  The primary reason for not staying on station could be summed up, as Delta Radiation.  It is hazardous to organic life forms."
1240
1241[12:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- As distant as the outlying reaches of the OOrt cloud?
1242
1243[12:09] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "None of you need any excuse save for that it was the order of the officer on watch," *he snapped.*
1244
1245[12:09] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Not my field of expertise."
1246
1247[12:09] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I see no need to respond with a personal emotional outburst..i was merely curious
1248
1249[12:09] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Yes sir."
1250
1251[12:10] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *gritted her teeth a moment*
1252
1253[12:10] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: I totally forgot to show her thats it. *he shrugged and bit into his tacos* Nah man, that would just get messy again.
1254
1255[12:10] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -stood there impassively-
1256
1257[12:10] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: "Baker, where the hell is beta watch?"  *He sighed.*
1258
1259[12:11] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Beta watch filters into the bridge.*
1260
1261[12:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Marcus are you getting enough fiber?
1262
1263[12:11] [DOIC1] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He just turned and left the bridge.*
1264
1265[12:11] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] She can be quite...persistant.
1266
1267[12:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow as she watches him storm off- ..fascinating
1268
1269[12:12] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Was that necessary?
1270
1271[12:12] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Dunno. Up to you. Just so long as neither of you lets it fuck with your work."
1272
1273[12:12] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Which part?
1274
1275[12:12] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: The part where you second guessed his resolution in open on the bridge, V'Tira.
1276
1277[12:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I did nothing of the kind, thank you doctor
1278
1279[12:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I merely posited questions out of curiousity...and ones he aksed me to do so
1280
1281[12:13] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus got to his quarters, loosening his jacket and taking a seat as he rubbed his hands along his face.*
1282
1283[12:14] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *laughs* There exist more than one layer to the eyes of a vrinak.
1284
1285[12:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Three which spplit in numerous others if i recall my biology correctly
1286
1287[12:15] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Damn dude.. sounded like my gramps there... we were just talking.
1288
1289[12:15] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Yes. But the saying is a romulan one. It means an act can carry more than one intent.
1290
1291[12:15] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: You want some tacos? *he offered him some* I got the spicy sauce on em.
1292
1293[12:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- I assure you i had only one intent
1294
1295[12:16] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *He ignored his beeping PADD and went to lay down on his bunk.*
1296
1297[12:16] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Very well.
1298
1299[12:16] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to this-
1300
1301[12:16] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oooh... I guess I don't need extra food, been sweating a lot less with the upgrades to engineering Desiree authorised.." *Thinks for a bit.* "But I'll have one anyways, thanks."
1302
1303[12:16] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she turns to leave*
1304
1305[12:17] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious
1306
1307[12:17] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she places a hand on shay's shoulder* Dinner A'rhea?
1308
1309[12:17] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: You talked to Daniels or Nalie any lately?
1310
1311[12:18] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -ponders the responses she got and returns to her updates-
1312
1313[12:18] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "In a few minutes... I want to make sure the data on the communication is complete.  What was successful, and what wasn't.  SO that we may make better attempts in the future."
1314
1315[12:18] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: You did good little one.
1316
1317[12:18] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Not really, why?"
1318
1319[12:19] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I figure they're always busy, sadly."
1320
1321[12:19] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Why not send them a message? Worse they can do is leave you on read.
1322
1323[12:20] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: "Thank you Niaev."
1324
1325[12:20] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles* I'll be in the mess.
1326
1327[12:20] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *she smiles to her, seeming in a relatively good spirit*
1328
1329[12:20] [DOIC1] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she walks off letting the bun out of her hair*
1330
1331[12:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns over her console to the beta watch-
1332
1333[12:21] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Sure, Imma write to them later. Why you asking?"
1334
1335[12:22] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *enters the mess*
1336
1337[12:23] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: I dunno, catch up? ask for pointers? That sort of thing? They're friends right? Aren't we supposed to keep in touch every now and then?
1338
1339[12:23] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *approaches the replicator and orders plomek soup, extra spice bread, and a water*
1340
1341[12:23] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles at the engineers as she heads to a table* Jolan Tru boys.
1342
1343[12:24] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she removes her jacket*
1344
1345[12:24] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea, I guess. I got no idea what Nalie is doing, but Kobay is probably busy as ell with her training." *He nodded to T'Lena.*
1346
1347[12:24] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: *he waved* Hey doc, good choice by the way, I smell that all the way over here.
1348
1349[12:25] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well. I felt like devouring something vulcan.
1350
1351[12:25] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles and dips the bread using her hand as if to defile the very nature of vulcan cuisine*
1352
1353[12:25] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: But still? Sure she would enjoy taking a quick break to think about the good times.. well mostly good times.. hopefully
1354
1355[12:26] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Sure, Imma text her now even." *Takes out his PADD.*
1356
1357[12:27] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: *he curiously watched T'lena devour her food*
1358
1359[12:27] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she turns on the music in her ears*
1360
1361[12:28] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: You know that book I was telling you about?
1362
1363[12:28] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea?"
1364
1365[12:30] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she ate more of the soup*
1366
1367[12:30] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Would you ever try something from ferenginar but drowned in something as sweet as betazoid chocolate?
1368
1369[12:31] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Depends. Tube grubs? Fuck no. Corpse lichen... maybe."
1370
1371[12:31] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Human cuisine has insects dipped in chocalate.
1372
1373[12:31] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she offered*
1374
1375[12:32] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: I was thinking gree worms.. *he looked over* Exactly!
1376
1377[12:32] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "And that has always sounded nasty as hell.
1378
1379[12:32] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Jellied gree worms aren't that bad actually..
1380
1381[12:32] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Of course it also spent hundreds of years deepfrying everything it could as well.
1382
1383[12:33] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Deepfried candy bars are great."
1384
1385[12:33] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Hey.. don't go making fun of our ingenuity...
1386
1387[12:33] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Put in pot with hot thing... eat.
1388
1389[12:33] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Not exactly rocket surgery.
1390
1391[12:34] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Ouch.. I think my ancestors just rolled over.. *he chuckled*
1392
1393[12:34] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smirks and sips her water*
1394
1395[12:34] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It's still good stuff.."
1396
1397[12:35] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: There was a dish on romulus. Took two years to prepare. Partly because of the sauces fermintation process.
1398
1399[12:35] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: The sad thign was... it wasn't that good.
1400
1401[12:35] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: But you ate it anyway because of how much went into making it.
1402
1403[12:35] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yea... simple is usually better. Both in engineering and in cuisine."
1404
1405[12:36] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: And medicine.
1406
1407[12:36] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Duct tape.. *he nodded and bit into another taco*
1408
1409[12:36] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: You'd be surprised how often starfleet doctors overcomplicate treating things.
1410
1411[12:36] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Dunno. Mostly been treated by romulan and reman ones."
1412
1413[12:36] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: You guys lose me right at the beginning with the jargon...
1414
1415[12:37] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: You forgot human too.. *he nodded at Bore*
1416
1417[12:37] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well this ships pretty lucky I am a trauma surgeon, given our luck.
1418
1419[12:38] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Ohh who was that one chick that was dating Cat? I forgot her name..
1420
1421[12:38] [DOIC1] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay files her prelim report, and downloads details to her PADD for refinement.*
1422
1423[12:38] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Human? Don't remember human doctors on this ship."
1424
1425[12:38] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she nods her head a particularly interesting song having started*
1426
1427[12:39] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: You don't? Not one bit? Well there was Mueller..and.. ahh what's her name!
1428
1429[12:40] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore shrugs.* "I dunno?"
1430
1431[12:40] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Just how many doctors has this ship burned through?
1432
1433[12:40] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she eats a bite*
1434
1435[12:41] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: *he began counting on his fingers* One.. two..thre- no two.. no.. wait..
1436
1437[12:41] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "A lot. There were some before the Reman... then there was the reman... then there was you. In about a year and a half."
1438
1439[12:41] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Are we counting the counselors as a full time doctor?
1440
1441[12:42] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well seeing as I am also the counselor.
1442
1443[12:42] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: You literally don't remember the man that was totally fixated on his coffee mug that the captain supposedly stole?
1444
1445[12:43] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Damn.. hey doctor? I think you're number five.
1446
1447[12:44] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, yea, thre was that guy... wasn't he just a nurse or somethin'?"
1448
1449[12:44] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: No dude he was the actual CMO
1450
1451[12:45] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Then we had Catriona.. then the reman... then.. it started with an R..
1452
1453[12:45] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Man, I'm giving up, it's a revolving door."
1454
1455[12:46] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: I was just thinking that too.. *he innocently looked at T'lena..
1456
1457[12:46] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: *
1458
1459[12:47] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Don't worry I don't plan on going anywhere any time soon.
1460
1461[12:47] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "That's what they all say... I gotta go review some reports. Night, Damian, Doc."
1462
1463[12:47] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Jolan tru Bore.
1464
1465[12:47] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: *he nodded at him before looking back* Remember.. he said it.. not me.
1466
1467[12:48] [DOIC5] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Nodded and headed out.*
1468
1469[12:48] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay surrendurs her station and comes to the mess, she stands at the replciator PADD in hand, seeming to be thinking about choices.*
1470
1471[12:48] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Though I suppose if the RRN decided they wanted to pull me back I'd have to resign then enlist with starfleet to remain.
1472
1473[12:49] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Or work as a civilian attached to service.
1474
1475[12:49] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Like I use to.
1476
1477[12:49] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she eats more*
1478
1479[12:50] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: I mean I guess.. if you want to stay cooped up with all of us crazies..
1480
1481[12:50] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *laughs* You aren't all that bad.
1482
1483[12:51] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Yes but some of them are on the bridge where it matters most.. *he smirked*
1484
1485[12:52] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay retrieves a meal from the replicator.*
1486
1487[12:52] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: True, But a ship runs through engineering.
1488
1489[12:52] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: "May I join you Niaev?"
1490
1491[12:52] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she smiles at shay* Always little one.
1492
1493[12:52] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she turns off her music*
1494
1495[12:53] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay sits with a dish of Bajoran Hasperat and what looks like green tea.*
1496
1497[12:53] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It was good to do something exploration related.
1498
1499[12:55] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she pulls out a PADD a moment to submit a report*
1500
1501[12:55] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Engineering's the same.. we got people who don't laugh at jokes.Been a while since I remember a probe being named..
1502
1503[12:55] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: "Yes Doctor, it was.  It will take some time to write it up properly and submit it.  Thank you for your suggestions on methods.
1504
1505[12:56] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: "Actually, naming probes is efficiant when launching multiples."
1506
1507[12:56] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: It is. But Alpha Beta and Gamma would have worked too
1508
1509[12:57] [DOIC4] Marcus Blaine@liorexus: *Marcus snoozed away as his PADD chimed.*
1510
1511[12:57] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: "Yes, your suggestion of Bob as well.  Immediately made me think of favorite entertament. Bob Newhart and Dick Van Dyke."
1512
1513[12:57] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Oh...
1514
1515[12:58] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she giggles* I thought you were playing into the phallic humor.
1516
1517[12:58] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: *he raised a brow* ...Really?
1518
1519[12:59] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay looks over at him and nods* "Yes, they were what mother called Wholesome entertainers.  Have you ever seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? as an engineer, I think you would find it amusing."
1520
1521[12:59] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *laughs*
1522
1523[1:00] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: I have not actually..hmm..
1524
1525[1:01] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: *Shay chews on her very spicy meal, and starts humming and tipping her head from side to side remembering the song.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTTzcXSLjhI
1526
1527[1:02] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she finishes her bread*
1528
1529[1:04] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: Well. I was.. yeah. *she laughs* Not thinking of wholesome entertainmnet.
1530
1531[1:05] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: I was distracted by my sandwich, and V'tira saying what she said didn't help it either..
1532
1533[1:06] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: V'tira often speaks in a way designed to provoke.
1534
1535[1:06] [DOIC5] Six@Gonz.0: *Finishing her mouthful, and wiping up juices off her lips* "What was she saying?"
1536
1537[1:07] [DOIC5] T'lena@Captain_Riens: *she looks at shay* Oh little one, she was playing off of the penetration aspect.
1538
1539[1:09] [DOIC5] Damian@the5of435: Oh that reminds me, gotta add today's innuendos to the running count down in engineering.
