[5:45][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:- Episode III - Stardate 2454280.88 -
[5:46][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:"Who Speaks For The Trees?"
[5:46][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** A massive white cyclone dominates nearly a quarter of the surface of the oceanic planet of Cetas, bearing down with a terrifying speed and intensity toward the isle where the Iopi people had..
[5:46][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:made their home. However, as it closes in something remarkable happens; it splits in twain, straight down the middle from where the island was located. The two huge but comparatively smaller..
[5:47][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:storms veer away from each other as if ripped apart by some unknowable force, leaving the isle untouched. As our cadets watch this occurring from the windows of a beautifully decorated..
[5:47][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Dizzy Lizzy’s aboard the Stardancer, Maeve sets herself up at the piano, her thoughts elsewhere on her birthday as she begins to play a song for someone absent. As she begins to sing, we begin..
[5:47][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:without a captain’s log… *
[5:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve started playing* I...
[5:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:I wait, i wait by the window in chains..
[5:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she played the piano on the stage where the DJ booth usually was
[5:49][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She got her glass of scotch and scooted over to someplace she'd have a view of the humulan playing the piano.
[5:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*a small electronic keyaboard was on top of the piano for her to play the flute parts
[5:49][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi grabs a drink, and goes to stand near the piano
[5:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *The Catadai's gaze was locked on the storms through the lounge windows as she listened.
[5:51][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:watches Maeve play, slowly moving her head to the music while enjoying it
[5:51][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*elsie was making sur ethe finger foods were correct
[5:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Alemyn] *Her arms were crossed as she kept an eye on the partygoers from her usual corner.
[5:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve enters the last chorus* "Trapped in side, an echo as the mind faulters, rememberance dies and we begin again, frozen in time, a heart flounders forgetting all, that matters to her...
[5:52][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Quietly to Maeve when she finishes* "your Honored Mother would love that. Well done.
[5:52][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina sits and listens quietly to the music.doe her eyes look a litttle moist? nah no way.-
[5:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I wrote that one very recently. This one is a little older. But not much.
[5:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] *He was bawling like a baby while Marla sighed and pat him on the back.
[5:53][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve started the second song
[5:53][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina stands and moves closer to the piano-
[5:53][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She clapped some from her spot once the first song finished, taking a small sip of her drink, before looking out the window.
[5:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve closes her eyes as she sings straining a bit to hit some of the high notes
[5:54][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*Quietly looked out the window as the music played and thought about the recent experience he had on the planet as he listened.
[5:54][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi leans on the piano slightly, watching Maeve sing
[5:55][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*was watching the performance, although she seemed more interested in the audience than the performer
[5:55][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:smiles impressed with the performance, especially the singing
[5:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She said to Hedwik.* "Incredible, isn't it? A global storm split in half inexplicably, a people who only just made a sacrifice for the safety of their island. The wonders of the universe.
[5:56][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He sips his drink, quietly listening to the performance.
[5:57][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*As she finished and got up* "Happy birthday Maeve, how are you doing?
[5:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Mmm. I cannot begin to fathom the biological quirks of the being that made it possible. It was this... giant lobster, and according to the locals it has been doing this ever since it first arrived.
[5:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Im doing good. sorry my music is a bit depressing.
[5:57][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina stands aand give a polite applause.-
[5:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"How does it know to do it, I wonder? It lives deep underwater, so it normally should have no investment as to what happens on the surface.
[5:58][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*She smiled to everyone showing off the new opal and pink tourmaline necklace
[5:58][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"no, it's good. You didn't have to share yourself like that, but you did. You gave us all a gift for your birthday.
[5:58][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i also wish you a happy birthday.
[5:58][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*did a double-take at a random member of the crew. She paused for a moment with a frown before going back to watching the room
[5:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] *He gave a big round of applause through the tears.
[5:58][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Yep. Thank you Zarina!
[5:58][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:claps her hands with a smile on her face "I find the songs rather beautiful
[5:58][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She clapped at the end of the song.
[5:58][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Everyone please eat. i've made sure soem blaine family classics are availabel for sampling. The peanut butter spoons are actually edible chocolate
[5:59][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i obtained a birthday gift for you, I was not sure if you engaged in such customs.
[5:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I couldn't begin to tell you either. It's a mystery I'd have to study for some time before I even get close to scratching the surface I imagine. My father would have loved this.
[5:59][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi slides an isolinear data storage chip over to Maeve* "Don't open it till you are in private.
[5:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"My romulan hlaf didn't but Thats one thing im really happy for being human!
[5:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she opens zarina's
[5:59][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina hands Maeve a small jewelry box.-
[5:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Your father was a scientist as well? Or more like me, a casual observer?" *She smiled.
[6:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Ooh a compass necklace! thank you Zarina! Or are these the winds of middle earth?
[6:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She smiled.* "He was a scientist, yes. With a particular love for meteorology and ancient beings... this would have been right up his alley.
[6:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*elsie went to put on some music in the background more piano music but this time versions of popular songs
[6:01][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i am uncertain as to the referece to the ceter of the Earth is applicable.
[6:01][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:goes and gets a box she left by the wall
[6:01][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"The pendant is a representation of a compass.
[6:02][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"its a old fantasy book.
[6:03][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina nods-- "i see i will try to read that particular story when i have the time.
[6:03][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she smiled then thanked tavi for her gift
[6:03][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"How lovely. I did not know the Imperium allowed non-tanausans into positions like that, honestly.
[6:03][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Defintiely recommended.
[6:03][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*glances toward the door as someone leaves the room. She frowns again, this time pushing away from the bar and following
[6:03][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she catches a glimpse of someone turnign the hall corner
[6:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*elsie brought a tray around to everyone
[6:04][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:Moves to give Maeve the bo
[6:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "In very limited positions. He was actually the first Catadai to be accepted into the Tanausan Institute of Science on Tanausa, before we ever had contact with the Dawn Alliance.
[6:04][DOIC2]Erys@Cuatel:*follows along, pausing to check the corner before moving around it
[6:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*She smiles taking it from bethany* "Thank you bethany.
[6:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "First and only..." *She frowned slightly.
[6:04][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi is dressed btw, very Earth cultural casual. Neat, clean, but vintage.
[6:04][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*when she rounds the corner she see something
[6:05][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Your welcome, its kinda a family tradition to give such a thing
[6:05][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*just as soon as it was there it was gone
[6:05][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Still a very high accolade. One to be proud of.
[6:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He was at the bar on his second bourbon and coke.
[6:06][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she opened the gift
[6:06][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she opened the gift
[6:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Indeed. And ultimately it was what saved him and I... but that's a tale for a less celebratory day.
[6:06][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:smiles as Maeve opens the box and finds a Rendino class ship mode
[6:07][DOIC2]Erys@Cuatel:*walks toward the... something, but pauses mid-step as it disappears. She looks around with visible confusion.
[6:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"This is cool Bethany! Thank you.
[6:08][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Well, if you ever wish to tell it, Doctor, I would be glad to hear. As for myself... precious few scientists in my family. As my grades probably hint.
[6:08][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*Looks down at the PADD in his hand and then turns to walk over towards the group.
[6:08][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Your welcome, Happy you like it, its a thing my mother started
[6:09][DOIC2]Erys@Cuatel:*speaking quietly* Are you there
[6:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She smiled.* "I find that grades have little to do with any capacity other than the ability to do as directed.
[6:09][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] You alright there Erys, Normally i am worried when i see a cadet talking to the wall
[6:09][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the doctor was in a traditional sari and carrying a present heading to the lounge
[6:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she placed it on the top of the piano
[6:10][DOIC2]Erys@Cuatel:*jumps in surprise and turns quickly toward Mehta* What? Oh. No, I'm fine. Was just trying to remember where I left my spanner
[6:11][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He continued quietly sipping his drink.
[6:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She rolled her eyes as everyone crowded Maeve, still not approaching as not to add to the chaos, chuckling softly at Aija's words.* "Well, still, it is rather daunting. Realizing I will have to do a
[6:11][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] Of coure, well party is inside and im late because someone though ti was a bright fuckign idea to put labs on a seperate turbolift system... I would blamee the admiral except i know he didn't
[6:11][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:originally design the ship class
[6:11][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*He steps forward and offers the PADD.* "Happy Birthday Ensign, it is a piece of music for your piano. One from my homeworld.
[6:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve looked at it
[6:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Little bit of everything on this trip, science included. What position did you dread most during your cadet cruise?
[6:12][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:moved to give room for anyone else to appouch the birthday gir
[6:12][DOIC2]Erys@Cuatel:*nods absently* Sure, probably something about security and preventing disasters
[6:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Oh that is very thoughtful Chatam. I will learn it and play it for you sometime soon.
[6:13][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"You are welcome. I hope you find it a challenge and enjoyable.
[6:14][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He hands Tolena an album containing 20th Century Earth Music,* "There's quite a range of genres, I hope you'll enjoy it.
[6:14][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"That reminds me Mr Chatam, just where are you from?
[6:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Honestly? Security... running all those laps and doing hand to hand combat drills were NOT what I--- dad?" *She blinked, looking across the room.
[6:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Hmm?" *She turned to look at what Aija was looking at.
[6:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Hedwik saw nothing.
[6:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Are you quite alright, Doctor? There is nobody there.
[6:16][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Dad?
[6:16][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*Chuckles and looks to Antony.* "A little bit of everywhere. I am a freighter kid, born in space, but originally from Rigel V.
[6:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I... Never mind, it's nothing. I must just be nostalgic tonight.
[6:17][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Well, the music, however beautiful, certainly did not help matters." *She gave Aija a smile.
[6:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*playing in the background https://youtu.be/rsuG_hQw9i0?list=PL7m4AdoKIzdtncCiJ03fYBRKV-w_bBmvq
[6:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I suppose not. Excuse me." *She quickly made her way out.
[6:18][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*nods understanding* "I spent a good pit of time on starships growing up, bi-planetary you could say. We'll have to hear some stories about it sometime Chatam.
[6:18][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] Maybe so shall we
[6:18][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded her head goodbye to Aija, then stepped forwards to Maeve, seeing the humulan won't get any less crowded.
[6:18][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*mehta entered the mess hall
[6:18][DOIC2]Erys@Cuatel:Yeah... might as well. *looks around the corridor again before shrugging and walking back toward the club
[6:18][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Doctor Bessley was just leaving, looking like she'd seen a ghost.
[6:18][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the doctor headed up to where they wer egathering with a package
[6:18][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"Certainly, it is an enteresting life
[6:19][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] That is the second person that looks liek they've seen a fucking ghost
[6:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Happy birthday." *She held out a small box, roughly 60 cm in length and less in width.
[6:19][DOIC2]Erys@Cuatel:*pauses as Bessley walks past her* You okay, there
[6:19][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve took the small box* Danke Schoe
[6:19][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she opened the box
[6:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Hm?" *She looked over and forced a smile.* "Yes, I'm quite fine cadet. Enjoy your evening.
[6:20][DOIC2]Erys@Cuatel:Right.. you too
[6:21][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*It was a statuette of the Kzari valkure Athena in full battle garb, holding an imposing shield high.* "Back on Kzar, you give these for protection... but I also figured for you, she would be double
[6:21][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Vigilant. She is a lover of music, and can be summoned through song, or so the legends say. But my mother claims to know her, and that Athena sings beautifully. So I figured it fits.
[6:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I will give it a nice place of honro over my music collection then.
[6:22][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*gives Hedwik an odd look at the mention of Athena
[6:22][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smiled and nodded, stepping back some from the piano to give Maeve some space, seeing everyone gathered there.
[6:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] *handed maeve the box
[6:23][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Thank you doctor
[6:23][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She sipped her drink and went to where Aija had stood, eyeing the empty space warily.
[6:23][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina suddenly seems distracted, she turne and looks to her right. Then she takes a moment to look around the room-
[6:24][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*She opened the box
[6:24][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*inside it was a very pretty mirror
[6:24][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*watches Zarina for a moment
[6:25][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she held it up to look at herself then got a very shocked look on her face turning quickly around to look across the room at... nothing
[6:25][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi snaps another pic from her wrist device to catch her expression
[6:25][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She raised an eyebrow at Maeve.
[6:25][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Then approached, leaning in.
[6:25][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*Steps back and looks out the window once again.
[6:25][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Something wrong Maevie?
[6:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*She looked at hedwik* "It was just my mind playing tricks on me.
[6:26][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We cannot be certain. Dr. Bessley seems to have experienced something similar.
[6:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I guess i look more like mom than i like to think.
[6:26][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It's not a bad thing.
[6:26][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina abruptly crosses the room. She says one word, it is barely above a whisper-- "father?
[6:27][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] Okay someone is going to need to start making some sense
[6:27][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Well if it happens more than three times, we should probably start investigating."
[6:27][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She raised an eyebrow at Zarina moving away to another seemingly empty spot, then looks to Dr. Mehta.* "I think there is some... telepathic thing going on.
[6:27][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:blinks looking around wondering what is going on
[6:28][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*Tilts his head at the mention of telepathy.* "Curious.
[6:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I am not certain what, but Dr. Bessley seemed to see her father.
[6:28][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*walks toward Zarina, close enough to whisper to her* Who do you see
[6:28][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Oh fun, didn't the Iopi say that their lobster god, the Amphion, have some telepathic like powers and that was how it protected them?
[6:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"And now maeve...
[6:28][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"My mother isn't dead though just... mostly dead.
[6:28][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina reaches out for something or someone who is obviosuly not there.-
[6:28][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Mostly dead?
[6:29][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"And she's back in orbit of magna roma in a stasis pod.
[6:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It may not have something to do with them being deceased. Maybe more the feeling of absence.
[6:29][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tempted, but doesn't break into the quote from that movie, but sorely tempted, it showed on her face enough to let Maeve know what she was thinking.
[6:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded her head in Zarina's direction.* "There is -certainly- something afoot, though.
[6:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] Fuck.. And i just changed into my best dress. Thelonius do you sense anything
[6:30][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--just sort of stands there looking lost a for a moment or two.-
[6:30][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"And yes, Tavi, you may be right. Amphion's probably using his powers as we speak, splitting the storm down on the planet. I have no idea if it is connected, though.
[6:31][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*watches Zarina without interfering further
[6:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Maybe...
[6:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve glanced up at her father in the VIP lounge window ont he deck above
[6:31][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--turns and looks at Erys
[6:31][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*At the VIP lounge overlooking the rest of Dizzy Lizzy's, Captain Blaine paused and set his drink down as he stared back down at the piano.
[6:31][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"We just might be experiencing an eddy, or a backwash from it like a powerful proppelent.
[6:32][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Or maybe it wants us to leave too.
[6:32][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He turns to Mehta,* "I sense something, but I'm still not sure what to make of it.
[6:32][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I cannot even begin to theorize. I am just making note of what we have seen so far. Three people of different species, all experiencing hallucinations of absent parental figures.
[6:32][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*looks at Zarina* Who did you see
[6:33][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I am willing to bet a good sword Zarina is seeing gher father." *She spoke to Tavi.* "In LMC history, I learned about the Dyrellia dynasty... unpleasant stuff.
[6:34][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He nodded once to Maeve and got up, turning sharply and exiting.
[6:34][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Blinking a moment, she shakes her head* "it is distracting to say the least.
[6:34][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He looks around to sense anything, or maybe see if he's hallucinating as well.*
[6:34][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Maybe it is not meant to be ominous, however? Maybe whatever is doing it is trying to offer comfort in the best way it can do so?
[6:34][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i saw the image of my father, as i last saw him.
[6:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*background song change https://youtu.be/tPjoVKSf64I?list=PL7m4AdoKIzdtncCiJ03fYBRKV-w_bBmvq
[6:35][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"If it is telepathic I have yet to experienccing anything, it is curious to say the least.
[6:35][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Well, it could be misinterpreted gift too. Intending to show us the faces of those we wish we could see again.
[6:35][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:Interesting. I saw my.... my aunt
[6:35][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"I don't want to meet my parents again.
[6:36][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Not yet, anyways.
[6:36][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Nodded to Tavi.* "My mother has told me of her fair share of strange encounters like this, malevolent and benevolent, so I cannot even begin to theorize one way or the other.
[6:36][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:Did you see something? Tavi?
[6:36][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Is speaking, looking at something, but trying not to get distracted
[6:36][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"I don't like this, added wrinkel, not everyone is seeing someone?
[6:36][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It does look like she is.
[6:36][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Uncle, been missing since 2441.
[6:36][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"So far, Bethany, from what we have gleaned, it may be those who are feeling a sense of loss.
[6:37][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded in Antony's direction.* "All but confirmed, then.
[6:37][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He looks around again to see if he's hallucinating.
[6:37][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*turns back toward the group* This reminds me of something I read about once, but it can't be that
[6:37][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Huh that would make some sense, yeah
[6:37][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"What did you read?
[6:37][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Oh don't ditch it now!
[6:38][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Might help!
[6:38][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:Something about the Enterprise going to the end of the universe and having visions of whatever they thought about
[6:38][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"As we have no clear understanding, we can not rule out what you read.
[6:38][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I don't think we are close enough to that.
[6:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...What're we doing?" *He showed up next to Thelonious with his third coke and bourbon in hand.

[6:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she was commign quietly with smeone
[6:48][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We are definitely dealing with something that plays upon our sense of bereavement. But how and to what end?
[6:48][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:Yeah. I thought that was in November though. Maybe The LMC has something similar

[6:49][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Every culture has their own celebration of the dead, some more than one. I do not think this has anything to do with an obscure holiday.
[6:49][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Now paying CLOSE attention to Maeve
[6:50][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*glances at Maeva* .... death does seem to play a part in it though
[6:50][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"More what?
[6:50][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"As does loss.
[6:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"As I said, I imagine it is less death and more bereavement.
[6:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded in Chatam's direction.* "Exactly.
[6:50][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"No no ndon't go!
[6:50][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Fvadt...
[6:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It is less what has happened -to- them and more how -we- feel it." *She bit her lip and gave Maeve a sympathetic look.

[6:51][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"OKay has anyone elses talked?
[6:51][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"It would seem that those that experience deep saddness due to absence and loss are having these encounters.
[6:51][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The Chancellor did not talk." *She shook her head to Maeve.
[6:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Flee?" *He peered at Thelonious.
[6:51][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"No. But, it seemed as though my halluciantion was attempting to speak.
[6:52][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:Mine didn't talk either. Didn't really have a solid form either, like it was fading away maybe
[6:52][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Mine only appeared for a brief flash.
[6:52][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"I-I don't know, that's just what they said." *He points to where the two were standing.
[6:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"My mother jsut said "more" three times. seeming terrified.

[6:52][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"I'm not the only one?
[6:53][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:I think it's getting stronger. It's using encounters with each of us to learn how to communicate
[6:53][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"More?
[6:53][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I just saw my mother again.. but she was wearing a strange gown i think i saw her in it in an old album.. wait...

[6:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Mor is also a word for darkness.

[6:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He shrugged noncommittally.
[6:58][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Sounds like half decent advice, if only we knew what the deep rooted darkness was.

[6:58][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He walks up to his hallucinations,* "I-If you are actually them and if you can even hear me, I just want to say... that I'll talk to you soon.
[6:58][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*glances over at.... something* Oh fuck me, not again
[6:58][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"Could it be here? In the system?
[6:58][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"We were only there for a little while, did they find out where the Iopi home system was?
[6:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Wasn't my job." *He drank.
[6:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The Iopi seemed to remember it, or at least vaguely. The cook I talked to mentioned it was very far from here.
[6:59][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"I'm blaming Marlin's cat on this.
[7:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] "Don't you dare blame Colby Jack!
[7:00][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Maybe this is a warning of some sort? To turn back and flee before heading deeper into what once was the black ocean? Where the darkness may still hold in the darkest reaches?
[7:00][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"If Jack didn't nearly kill that ritualistic sacrifice, this probably wouldn't have happened!
[7:01][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Arguing about it now helps nobody, Mixman.
[7:01][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"it seems to me that the two most logical possibilities is it is either a warning or a call for help.

[7:01][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"exaxtly.

[7:02][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*His eyes loose focus and he looks towards the door.* "Curious.
[7:02][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:Wanting to flee seems more likely. Something trying to escape the system, or at least the planet
[7:02][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Tavi did mention something interesting earlier. The possibility of telepathic interference from down below.
[7:03][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Maybe Amphion and the other titans are warning us. They seem to have the power to do something like this.
[7:03][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:*He starts to walk towards the door but stops himself about halfway shaking his head back and forth.
[7:03][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--Zarina just stares at Chatam,-
[7:03][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It must be a warning... the message I am getting "danger". The Amphion can protect the planet, it may not be able to protect in orbit.

[7:24][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"First, the parents, then a TERRIBLE headache! Couldn't this day get any worse?
[7:24][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We could always grab a tricorder from a locker, but I do not believe it will help any.

[7:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He hiccupped.
[7:31][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Maybe it was not always a water planet?

[7:31][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"A play? Huh.
[7:31][DOIC6]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"We just jumped to warp.

[7:32][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Zarina is one talkign to you
[7:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "They didn't get to come I guess.

[7:39][DOIC6]Antony@Gonz.:*Meanwhile Shay is attempting to bring as much automation on line as possible to deal with unmanned stations.
[7:39][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--cants her head-- "its seems perhaps we are getting better reception this way.
[7:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] "Ommmm....
[7:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Not helping.
[7:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] "Sorry.
[7:40][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Niaev] Very Amusing.. well this is odd
[7:41][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She looked to Maeve, letting her have the first words to her "Mother".
[7:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Hey, we summoned a hot chick. Think we can make her clothes disappear next?

[7:42][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Yeah, but that was not good weird.
[7:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] "Respect women." *He glared at Zeke.
[7:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Niaev] *she instinctively touched her stomach* Definitely odd
[7:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she reached out to touch maeve's face but i can see it. *She looked around* I don't recognize any of you.
[7:43][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Been too long, changed too much.
[7:43][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"except for you two... i can recognize a rigby.
[7:43][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"It's a good thing that I don't read any of your minds, one can only imagine what fucked up things you all think about.
[7:43][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] tavi she wouldn't remember you. Her midns locked to when i was still in utero.
[7:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] *He let go of Marla's hand to wave.
[7:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Introductions can wait, Ma'am. Something very fucked-up is going on.
[7:43][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] SO i guess i manifested that too
[7:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She grabbed Marlin's hand again with a squint at her larger brother.
[7:44][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:--cants her head and looks at Maeve-
[7:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Niaev] Temporal Ephasia... side of effect. fvadt. It wants to talk to you to warn you... I am not going to be here for long i don't think
[7:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Niaev] It apologizes for the others. their minds were incompatable. Sleep protects them.
[7:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Weird way to give a warning.
[7:45][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"What is the warning it wishes to give, Ma'am?
[7:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"It says that even you are mostly incompatable.
[7:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Niaev]"It says open your branches. and you will be able to get to the root of it all...
[7:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"It also says that was a bad joke.
[7:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she turned and laughed
[7:47][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"Yeah, yeah it is.
[7:47][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...Good to know the local deities have a sense of humor.
[7:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Niaev] Well you speak as slow as a tree ent. So i sped it up
[7:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*niaev touched maeve's cheek* [Niaev] I may not remember who you are a'rhea but I will always recognize you. Now do as i ask
[7:48][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*
[7:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *closed her eyes
[7:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*then the romulan woman was a column of light
[7:49][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Smirks slightly, enjoying a bit of the interaction in a bittersweet way.
[7:49][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"We don't say anything if its not worth taking a long time to say?
[7:50][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Happy birthday Maeve, now what was the instruction? I don't get it.
[7:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Silver branches began to manifest from the column, spreading out to reach over all of their heads as a great, luminous tree appeared where Niaev had been.
[7:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...Why would you do that, Bethany? Efficient, crisp communication is key to survival in emergencies.
[7:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She blinked as the tree appeared.
[7:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...Told you guys. Tree guys.
[7:51][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Its from a book where there are living trees called ents, they have a very slow tongue that they speak
[7:51][DOIC1]Chatam@Jabroc:"Right, so we grab them?
[7:51][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:'Zeke, you saw the Tree before?
[7:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The boughs creaked, leaves sighing in an unseen breeze. They heard it, not as words spoken aloud but as something within them;* "Accept my apologies.
[7:52][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"You meant well. We thank you for your care.
[7:52][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She spoke aloud to the voice in her head.
[7:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve seemed to be more focused on other things at the moment
[7:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "I would not have reached out were my warning not one most dire. You are in danger in this region of the Abyss.
[7:54][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"What kind of danger, sir?
[7:55][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi caught herself just barely, deciding it was better for one voice than a gaggle of voices in this situation.
[7:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "A war rages deep within. Its belligerants have been decimated; they replenish their numbers the only way they can. In harvest.
[7:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded her head.* "And they would harvest us for their war machine?
[7:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Harvest?
[7:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve looked up wiping her eyes
[7:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "The harvest of sentient beings.
[7:58][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Who are the principals?
[7:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "They would. And if they cannot, they will destroy you.
[7:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded at Tavi's question.
[8:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "Their core tenant is that consciousness is divinity. That they were the first beings to develop the ability to think, to reason, and all who came after are blasphemers.
[8:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Sounds pretty fucking unlikely and also pretty fucking egotistical.
[8:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Zeke...
[8:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He shrugged.* "Just saying.
[8:01][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Could you share anything more about them with us? Their name... anything?
[8:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"You are one of the ones from Iopia. The Arboreals.
[8:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "I am an... echo. The imprint in the soil of roots long decayed.
[8:02][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"You traveled with them.
[8:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "Yes.
[8:02][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Can you answer her question? What are they called?
[8:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "They call themselves the Vauri. Your kind utilizes ocular perception... they will appear no different than any other sentient.
[8:04][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Thank you." *She quietened down so Maeve could continue with the questions she wanted to ask.
[8:06][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:'How will we know them?
[8:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "Some will appear to be your allies... make no mistake. Their only goal is to become the only thinking beings in this universe.
[8:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "Look... inside." *The light was beginning to dim.
[8:07][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"What will we see inside that will show they are Vauri?
[8:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "The mind... the center... it grows there...
[8:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "Your brains are soil in which the roots grow deep...
[8:08][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Looking over to Thelonious, hoping he is getting more depth than she is.
[8:09][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Seemed to have the same idea as Tavi, nodding to her.
[8:09][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"They use our central nervous syste
[8:09][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:looks rather confused about it al
[8:09][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Similiar to elachi...
[8:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Are fungoid?
[8:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*are they?
[8:10][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"So it should be picked up by scanner or telepathy, nein?
[8:10][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi really wishes she had paid more attention to the Elachi chapters.
[8:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "Mycelium... the structure... is so similar...
[8:11][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*lights up in the eyes, something she understood.
[8:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The light was very dim now. It likely could only answer a few more questions.
[8:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Other than the warning... can you leave us with something of what your people were like.. before they were culled?
[8:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"How far do they reside from w here we are now?
[8:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She shut up and let Maeve ask.
[8:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "Once we were a forest. We lived in concert with the others... the Iopi, the Vi'adai. All was connected. Our roots grew deep... our leaves blanketed continents.
[8:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "The Vauri had no use for us. They called us abominations. And now we are no more.
[8:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "The Iopi fled as far as their ships could take them... but it will never be enough until their roots are burned...
[8:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Quietly* "I am growing a steady dislike for these vauri.
[8:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marlin] "I never liked mushrooms anyway.
[8:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Are these Vauri from our plane of subspace or do they travel beneath it. like the Elachi.
[8:17][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:decided to keep a comment about mushrooms in food to herself
[8:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] "Their spores spread... everywhere... You cannot stop... them...
[8:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arboreal] *And with that, the tree faded out.
[8:18][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*mehta regained herself
[8:18][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*everyone else started to wake up
