[3:32][DOIC]David Allen@ClingingMar:*The STAR TREK: GIGANTES music begins to play...
[3:32][DOIC]David Allen@ClingingMar:*The camera pans around the Citadel as it shows all of the holiday decorations removed as the fesitivies have ended. For the crew of the 22nd, however, they still remain on holiday leave for now...
[3:32][DOIC]David Allen@ClingingMar:*GO
[3:34][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Valerie is using the chance Cynna is spending time with her friends to enjoy some alone time, having some coffee in the lounge and watchign the latest news on her PADD.
[3:39][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Jacob meanwhile sits in the most seculeded corner in the lounge he could find. A jug of booze and a bowl of uneaten chips in front of him.
[3:40][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Looks at the time, then decides she may as well get something to eat, standing up to order, before heading to Jacob's table.* "Mind if I were to join you?
[3:41][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*It takes a moment, but he looks at Val just nods to her slightly before returning to staring at the drink
[3:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She sits down.* "So, I 'eard what 'appened. I figured you would like someone to talk to?
[3:43][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Once again it takes a moment to reply.* "I don't even know what to say...if im honest...
[3:44][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Hm. Well, we do seem to be alone, so may'aps I should start off by saying zat I am razher aware of what you are going zhrough at ze moment. Before coming to ze Gigantes, I was to be married. I was
[3:44][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Left for someone else, days before ze actual ceremony. So I can sympathize.
[3:49][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Looks at Val with a look of sympathy* "If they would betray you like that, then you are far better off without them , even if it hurts at first... How did you cope?
[3:51][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:gets up from where she is getting and moves over "Mind if I join you guys?
[3:51][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Admittedly, at ze time, quite badly. Which is why I try to give advice.
[3:52][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She looks to Jacob at that, leaving the decision to him.
[3:53][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Jacob just shrugs to Eleria, for Elerias benefit there is a bowl of fries in front of him left uneaten.
[3:54][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:*sits down looking at Jacob with worry
[3:54][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"What I 'ave learned lately is zat ze only good coping mechanism available to us is work.
[3:56][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Nods* "For people like us yes it is. Sooner back to work the better...
[3:57][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:lowers her head feeling sad without knowing wh
[3:57][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. I got myself back on track quite some time later, when transferring to ze Gigantes. You could say I was inbetween assignments when it 'appened. But you do know what zey say, an idle mind and
[3:58][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Idle 'ands are ze devil's playzhings. Which is why I tried to keep busy even now. May'aps you should find some ozher 'obby to go alongside wood carving.
[4:01][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"I cant do anything anyway... Captains made me promise to be on my best behaviour...i feel useless. I have my combat and fighting training and the likes...
[4:03][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"feel free not to answer if you don't want to, but what has happened?
[4:04][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zere must be somezhing. It does not neccessarily 'ave to be work. It does not even 'ave to be an 'obby eizher. You can visit ze avynei spa. Ze masseuses are telepazhic, and really 'elpful, even if
[4:04][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"You cannot tell at first.
[4:06][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Looks to Eleria.* "How do you not know... Not sure if i want someone poking round in my head...
[4:07][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Zey do not poke around your 'ead. 'Owever, your mental state translates to your body. Zey can feel if zere is somezhing wrong and tailor zeir treatment to zat. It is... relaxing
[4:07][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"I don't know how I don't know cause I don't know what there is to know
[4:08][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"Do you really think they can help her though Ma'am?
[4:11][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I believe zey can. Zey are very capable telepazhs. More so zan any of ours. If Liz 'as approved ze treatment, she must 'ave a reason to.
[4:11][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"But what will be the cost of this treatment?
[4:12][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Quite likely, a significant shift in 'er personality.
[4:12][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"Esspecially if the bastard Alex has his way...
[4:12][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I do not believe eizher of you will "'ave your way".
[4:13][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:looks extremely confuse
[4:13][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:the only thing i care about is her, what is best for her. Even if it means she does not love me anymore... As long as she is healthy..
[4:14][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:Doesn't mena i am giving u
[4:15][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"She will. It just may change in ze way it is shown. Ze way it is given. Zhink of it as a... trill joining, of sorts. Ze old personalities shall merge togezher. Ze personality you know and love will
[4:15][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Still be zere, but many aspects will 'ave also changed. I shall not lie, it will be very daunting at first.
[4:16][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:But at the same time Alex claims that Dira loves him back like he loves her. To say it will be complicated is an understatement..
[4:18][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Every change is complicated. Eizher way, I cannot claim to know what 'er zhoughts will be once ze avynei start zeir zherapy. All I can tell you is to prepare for ze worst.
[4:18][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:Looks increasingly confuse
[4:18][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"It may not be what you want to 'ear, but it is somezhing zat per'aps I could 'ave benefited from 'earing some time ago, so I pass it onto you.
[4:19][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:prepare for the worst hope for the best. Basically my motto at this point, but thank you for your word
[4:20][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Why are the Avynei giving Nine therapy? is it cause of the random not her sentance she says every now and again and cant remember?
[4:20][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"It is much more serious zan a random sentence. 'Er old personality is resurfacing and causing conflict wiz ze new one.
[4:21][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:in short Eleria Dira is returning but nine doesnt want that and is repressing it, which is causing her mind to fracture as both of them battle for control
[4:21][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:and that is understating it... as this is above my pay grade
[4:22][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"I guess she has not wanted me to worry
[4:22][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Liz 'as taken 'er off duty, and conscripted ze aid of Az and ze Adagio's counselor to aid 'er. From what I udnerstand, zey wil work wiz ze avynei on merging ze two Nines into one.
[4:22][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Dira was her pre borg, right?
[4:23][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Quite so.
[4:25][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Nods at Vals words and then to Eleria* "yep
[4:27][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Now, what I say may sound cynical, but zis is a good opportunity to learn a lesson, Calli'an, one you would be lucky to learn long. People change. Zey rarely stay. Your priorities should be yourself
[4:27][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Your family, and your work. Everyzhing and everyone else is secondary.
[4:27][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:((Lucky to learn young*)
[4:30][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Looks at Val* "I learned that lesson a while ago, if people don't change their would be no progress in life. Things would be stagnent...
[4:31][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Quite. And zat change affects zose around zem as well. So zis is only... one of many situations like zis life will 'ave in store for you.
[4:34][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Nods* "Doesn't mean i have to like it, but does mean i have to deal with it.
[4:35][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Quite so. Zat is life, non?
[4:35][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"Truer words never spoken
[4:36][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. I do 'ope you will tell me, should you feel incapable of functioning properly as part of ze teams, 'owever. I would much razher we avoid incidents zat an... understandably altered mindset
[4:37][DOIC5]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*Alex sat in in his office, surrounded by the darkness he stares at his wedding photo. Alex eventually cclosed his eys and put the picture down sighing heavily, when his eyes open he stands up and
[4:37][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Could lead to. I could give you a few days, or weeks' leave, but should it be forceful after somezhing you did, it will reflect negatively on your record.
[4:38][DOIC5]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:leaves for the lounge, however before he goes through his door he punches a bulkhead while releasing a primordal-like cry
[4:39][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"I can understand the concern esspecially after everything that has happended. But i have learned from my mistakes, this wont distract me from my duty.
[4:40][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods.* "While I understand nozhing is guaranteed, I shall attempt to be more lenient, should I truly need to take you off.
[4:40][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I am certain Liz will understand too.
[4:41][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Can I voice a theory of optimism?
[4:41][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"I understand if you have to... But i won't deny i may need your help. As you say nothign is guaranteed
[4:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I am not zat good wiz advice and emotional aid, but I shall attempt, Calli'an." *She then shrugs to Eleria.
[4:43][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"D'Accord, but I 'ave said my piece. Zis is simply 'ow life is. Optimism is quite often unfounded.
[4:43][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Ohh I might actually be allowed as I would have to mention one of those events over the summer
[4:43][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:not be allowed to
[4:45][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. Zose are better left unbozhered.
[4:46][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:any way to just gloss over t
[4:47][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"But anyway there is a strong chance Dyra will also love you, once she knows you
[4:49][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Yes. Yes zere is. But zere is nozhing to guarantee it will not be a platonic love, like ze one she 'as for say, Ottler.
[4:49][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Nods* "Exactly
[4:51][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"True but... I right now hate the temporial people
[4:53][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"You are an awesome guy Jacob and not bad looking
[4:54][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Not everyone in temporal affairs is bad. Commander Xylvarenn is a wonderful person. And worry not, Calli'an, you are still young. Zere shall be ozhers.
[4:54][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"If it goes south, it might not
[4:55][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"You have abbs
[4:55][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"Erm...thanks Eleria. As it was said prepare for the worst hope for the best.
[4:55][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"'E is a delta, Scarlett. Most of us do.
[4:56][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"To people outside delta, that is impressive
[4:56][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"It's a must for Deltas practicaly steel" *Laughs
[4:57][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Like Pilots and big egos
[4:59][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:No such thing as a pilot without an eg
[4:59][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Precisely
[4:59][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Even me
[5:00][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Sips her wine, looking distracted for a moment into her PADD.

[5:04][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"'Ad an enjoyable leave, Scarlett?
[5:04][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Mostly yeah, love my RC ship, its really cool
[5:05][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"Hows Terry?
[5:06][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"He is good, getting better and better all the time, just wish I could see him more
[5:07][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I am glad you enjoyed ze present. And zat is ze nature of our job, Scarlett. Do be grateful zere is at least someone to see, non?
[5:08][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Ohh I am, very much so
[5:08][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"I think he will either miss me more or less with the present I got him

[5:09][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"And what present was zat?
[5:10][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Gave him a Calendar with pictures of me

[5:12][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"My way of saying i am with him in spirit everyday
[5:13][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I do 'ope zose pictures were clozhed." *She says nonchalantly.
[5:14][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*Enters the lounge while adjusting his left cufling. Checking the room he decides to go to the bar and remain there.* Johan Argentumhands, keep it rolling when you see the glass empty
[5:14][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*The bartender nodded and prepared his drink
[5:15][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*When Jacob sees Alex enter the bar his fist clench and jaw tightens, but he remains seated.
[5:17][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"They were clothed...
[5:17][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*Alex takes out his padd and begins working on it as he gets his first drink. He downs the drink in one go and quite soon after gets his second drink, downing that even faster till he gets his third
[5:17][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She maybe smirks just a bit.* "It was a joke. Mostly.

[5:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Usually, she needs a few monzhs worzh of recovery time. And reading ze reports, she took a direct 'it from one of 'er own faction's ships last time. So for now, we can rest a bit easier.
[5:43][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"we should press our advanatge without over extending, build momentium
[5:45][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Non. Incursions into ze black ocean are what ze avynei do. We should sit by and take our time exploring and aiding, being on standby if certain degradations 'appen again in ze kzari regime.

[7:16][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:said. If there is a heat of the moment with the luitenant commander in a mission, i'm not completely sure that i can trust myself to do the correct thing right now. Which i am sure you have already
[7:16][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:considered. So if it comes to the field if me and him are to be on the same mission for now its best if i stand down from such...
[7:17][DOIC1]Razzor@Isis:-smirks coldly at this
[7:17][DOIC1]Razzor@Isis:Let me try it this way the
