[6:01][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Episode IX: "Epva
[6:02][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** We open in the cave where our cadets have spent the last two days waiting out a rainstorm that agitated the local wildlife into a frenzy. There is no log as they awaken to realize that the..
[6:03][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:constant shower of rain from outside has abated. *
[6:04][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik awoke, fixing her hair into a quick bun with a displeased grunt, before she perked up for a moment, looking around.* "Do you hear that?
[6:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve seems far less agitated
[6:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] I think its over
[6:04][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Exactly.
[6:05][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] The rains have stopped for now. Unfortunatley that means there is only one moon until your friends will be sacrificed
[6:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...Lot can happen in a moon.
[6:06][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina opens her eyes and sits up*
[6:06][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We may need to ask the ship for an update. See if anything happened while we were off the grid. Which means trekking back to the transporder ,no?
[6:06][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:(Transponder*
[6:06][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*walks back into the cave, her uniform torn, tattered, and covered in mud. She's holding a small bundle of sticks in her hands* Oh good, you're finally awake
[6:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I told you nto to go just because the water was lighter
[6:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] It is good you did not get yourself killed
[6:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Don't tell me you fought an emu for those sticks.
[6:07][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"no, it is not good to go get yourself kills.
[6:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *checked on zarina
[6:07][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Killed eithe
[6:08][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"She is nesting. Of course she needs sticks.
[6:08][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] We need to get back to the camp
[6:08][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi goes over her kit, ensuring the gear is all still of functioning.
[6:08][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded and grabbed her stuff, standing up and heading to Maeve's side.
[6:08][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*shrugs and drops the sticks on the ground. She plops down next to them and picks up one, which she promptly begins sharpening.* I wanted something that works even if the tech doesn't
[6:08][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] If we really have a day until they are sacrificed we need to make it back and assess the state
[6:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Suppose we should let Bessley know what we found out... two days ago.
[6:09][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Everyone get ready
[6:09][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina looks up at Tolena** "I am fine. Any effects i was feeling have subsided with the rains.
[6:09][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] The rains may have shifted the river... I will guide you back to your camp
[6:09][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Ready to move on you.
[6:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "I'm okay too, if anyone cared.
[6:09][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Yes Ensign, ready to move on your call.
[6:10][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Of course I care. There needs to be someone with worse spots so mine look even better.
[6:10][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i am ready to move out as well.
[6:10][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*glances at Zeke as she continues sharpening a stick* I'm glad you're not dead
[6:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "My spots are fine!" *He looked at Erys.* "Well -thank- you, I'm glad you managed to evade being carried off by the duck dragon.
[6:11][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*pre was back int he cave
[6:11][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Come then
[6:11][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:What makes you think the duck didn't try
[6:11][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] *she started to lead them out of the cave
[6:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She followed the bird person.
[6:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Well if it did, you evaded it. Congratulations." *He followed Oro.
[6:12][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*Meanwhile the camp was recovering. Very little of it was still set outside of the shuttle which had damage to one of its nacelle housings from a large creature claw. Dr Dorian Turk was overwelmed
[6:12][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*grabs the bundle of sticks and gets up to follow the group
[6:12][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**arina gathered up her gear and followed the others out of the cave.*
[6:13][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:treating most of hte officers leaving only Vrajen and Thelonius unwounded for now. With Cmdr Bessley walking wounded.
[6:13][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Moving out, weapon on heavy stun and in ready position.
[6:13][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] Commander im basically down to regenerators and painkillers. And im running out of painkillers. The replicators being offline isn't helping how long till we can power the shuttle agian
[6:14][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*he said as he finished a wrap on her wrist
[6:14][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*hands a sharpened stick to Zeke* Here, hold this for me
[6:14][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**she sets here weapon to heavy stun and keeps it ready in case of attack.*
[6:15][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] It is unlikely you will have danger, THe villagers do not venture this far up river. And the predators... they will have eaten their fill
[6:15][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Ominious
[6:15][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] Hopefully not of your friends
[6:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"They might have eaten some of the people who held our people captive... try and stay positive.
[6:15][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:I hope the beavers are okay. They were cute and helpful
[6:16][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"You did not strike me as the type who cares for beavers.
[6:16][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "We need at least eight more hours to cycle and that's if we cut all the corners I'm willing to.
[6:16][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vrajen looked over his shoulder at the others, assessing the damage done to the shuttle
[6:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as they walked along the river they coudl see them hard at work repairing bridges and maintiaining the overflow
[6:16][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Not as much as you, but I do care too.
[6:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*vrajen coudl see that the main eps route from the nacelle had a very large bite taken out of it... a bit ethat bit straight through tritanium
[6:17][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"industrious creatures.
[6:17][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*vrajen coudl see that the main eps route from the nacelle had a very large bite taken out of it... a bit ethat bit straight through tritanium
[6:17][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*points toward the bridges, dropping half the sticks in the process* Hey look, there's some of them now
[6:18][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] They rebuild the walkways and the river banks
[6:18][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] SO that the spirits may always wander the flgihtless lands
[6:18][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina raises an eyebrow as she looks over at the beavers*
[6:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Neat.
[6:19][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"interesting.
[6:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She paid the beavers little mind, instead keeping an eye out for other dangers.
[6:20][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*hands a sharpened stick to Zarina* Here, hold this for me
[6:20][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*it was eerily quiet
[6:21][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Nto a lot of wildlife
[6:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] No. There will nto be not for several weeks
[6:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "The angry ones must've eaten the rest.
[6:22][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Well, I am glad we managed to see this place on a high point, then.
[6:22][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**takes the stick and looks at it and Erys with a bit of confusion*
[6:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] Most of them flee
[6:22][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi keeps an eye for some vine or ropelike substance as they walk.
[6:22][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*sharpens another stick as they walk
[6:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] It is not much further now
[6:23][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] * hours of frontier medicien... got you
[6:23][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:{turk] Well its a good thing I paid attention ins Dr Mehta's classes at the Academy
[6:23][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Quite the appetite.. *he muttered as he walked back over to the gang
[6:23][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve hummed as they walked
[6:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Let's hope these two did, too. They're your extra hands for now.
[6:25][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vrajen grimaced at that
[6:25][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] yeah thats good. Alright. Mixman, Your with me on splints and cuts
[6:25][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] yeah thats good. Alright. Mixman, Your with me on splints and cuts
[6:25][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*hands a sharpened stick to Hedwik* Here, hold this for me
[6:25][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] Kodor, I think you shoudl focus on getting the replicator powered
[6:26][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She took the stick, looking completely unimpressed.
[6:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Song is important to your people
[6:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] What
[6:26][DOIC2]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"I-I'm not exactly a medical doctor..
[6:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] You are singing
[6:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Oh... i do that when nervous
[6:27][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"She is a good singer in general. She is being humble.
[6:27][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Song is important to this world. Sacred
[6:27][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "We're not asking you to do intercranial surgery, just do as the doctor instructs.
[6:27][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It's alright, I find it calming.
[6:27][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:You got this, just listen closely to the instructions
[6:27][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Is it? Why do your people sing?
[6:27][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] For many reasons. But mostly to remember
[6:28][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Oral histories, good to know.
[6:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Their mountains sing... oh, or that.
[6:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded her head.* "My people have many a song about battles long past.
[6:28][DOIC2]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Alright then." He walks up to Turk, "Who do I start with then?
[6:28][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] The notes of song carry with them the spirit of all who have made them before.. They are eternal. No matter the interpretor
[6:28][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he nodded to Turk and walked over to begin finding solutions for the replicator
[6:28][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] Major compound injuries and bites
[6:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"When this whole mess is over I would love to hear a proper local song.
[6:28][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] Pack the bites after disenfecting and give them a Mild painkiller
[6:29][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*offers a sharpened stick to Tolena* Here, hold this for me
[6:29][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] Dr Mehta would call it Standard Issue field treatment
[6:29][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina remains quiet as she listens to the conversation*
[6:29][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*there were a couple security officers that were nursing nasty bites and cuts
[6:29][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Gives Erys another confused look*
[6:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve took teh sitck and used it as a walking stick
[6:30][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*looks at Antony* Sorry, I'm out of sticks. Dropped the rest
[6:30][DOIC2]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He walks up to one of the injured officers and follows Turks instructions.
[6:30][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi checks her communicator for signal, hoping the storm might be calmed enough to allow communication.
[6:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] When this is over such a finality to your people
[6:30][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I forgive you Erys
[6:31][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the replicator was still damage from whatever that electric storm was. He needed to tear it down and inspect the isolinear chips and replace the bruned out ones.
[6:31][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Looks at Tavi and offers her her stick** "You may use this one if you wish.
[6:32][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*slows her pace just enough to return to the back of the group
[6:32][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Holding up her rifle* "I'll use this for now, thanks though.
[6:32][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"You are welcome.
[6:32][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*he was able to treat the first officer that was injury fairly well
[6:33][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**continues to awkwardly carry a sharpened stick in one hand and her phaser rifle in the other.*
[6:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Check it out." *He motioned with the stick to the trees as they moved deeper toward the camp. Many of them had their bark savagely shredded or... pecked at, in some cases.
[6:34][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Oro, are all of the wild creatures driven to frenzy by the rain?
[6:34][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*He knelt down after finding tools and began opening the replicator up to replace the bad chips
[6:34][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"that is more than a little disconserting.
[6:34][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] The Predators are
[6:34][DOIC2]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Well, that went... kind of better than I expected. Just a few more to go." *He approaches the next officer and tries to treat his wounds.
[6:34][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] The prey flee
[6:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The gashes in the trees oozed a deep, dark red sap.
[6:35][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"Seems the prey animals possess more wisdom than the predators.
[6:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *she aproached a tree and touched it closing her eyes a moment
[6:35][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Might want to get a sample of that." *gesturing to the sap, said to the science types
[6:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] No they revert to their base instincts to run
[6:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Mayeb thats why it affected myself and Zarina so strongly
[6:36][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] You are predators. All of you
[6:36][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I'd agree.
[6:36][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] So are Xegi
[6:36][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she has similiar wounds
[6:37][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*vrajen has replaced all the isolinear chips
[6:37][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Not many prey species develope into the dominant intelligence of their worlds.
[6:38][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"it would seem in this case my Beryxian heritage provided at least some protection from the effects. i am uncertain why. A question for another time however.
[6:38][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*they fit together perfectly the replicator is now buzzing
[6:39][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Perhaps they are not predators
[6:39][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] And i was most affected... i guess Romulan and human doesn't spare me savagery
[6:40][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:Probably the telepathy
[6:40][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"Given Romulan and Human history i can see why iot would affect you the most.
[6:40][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Your Camp is just up ahead
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He shrugged.* "I had a bit of a headache, but I was fine. Pays to mix it up.
[6:40][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:{maeve] Come in with us oro we should introduce you to Commadner Bessley
[6:40][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Oro, please do.
[6:41][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Very well
[6:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They could already see some of the tents and temporary structures were damaged.
[6:41][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vraj looked up at the humming, testing it out by replicating a few bandages
[6:41][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*it worked!
[6:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve overtook oro to lead them into the camp
[6:42][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**she frowned at the damage.*
[6:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:{maeve] THey were hit hard
[6:42][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Hopefully there were no fatalities...
[6:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*there was a pile of half eatent animal corpses as well
[6:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:It's just a colombian soap opera over youtub
[6:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:It's just a colombian soap opera over youtub
[6:43][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he closed up the replicator and replicated a few more medical supplies to bring back
[6:43][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*nudges one of the corpses* I wonder if those are human edible
[6:43][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] This is going to heart Lt. *he said as he set a shoulder
[6:43][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Likely are
[6:44][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] You ate some of them in the cave
[6:44][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve walked up to bessley
[6:44][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina looks grossed out by what Erys just said.*
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Pluck it, batter and fry it, serve it up with some potatoes...
[6:44][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Potatoes
[6:44][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I thought the bird was particularly good, actually.
[6:44][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Oh, you are in for a treat when we can get you some, Oro...
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She turned as they entered the camp.* "Maeve, you're back! Who's this?
[6:44][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Seems they were hit hard, we need to report to see where we can be of assistance.
[6:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Ma'am this is Oro. Sorrows Song
[6:45][DOIC2]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He tries to strike up a conversation with one of the officers while he treats them,* "... Read any good books lately?
[6:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *stood proud and greeted her
[6:45][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*looks sidelong at Antony* One of thsse days, you'll learn to stop volunteering for the shit jobs
[6:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She gave a small bow to Oro.* "Pleased to meet you, and I wish it were under more fortunate circumstances. Lieutenant Commander Aija Bessley.
[6:46][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Security officer] Yeah.. Just a Rihannsu ROmance novel... *she grimaced as she was treated
[6:46][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] There are only circumstances
[6:46][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Ma'am we made contact with the Stardancer. It was very rudamentary. They basically said we are on our own
[6:47][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"As Starfleet officers it is out duty to serve in whatever capacity we are needed in.
[6:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:{maeve] SOme sort of atmospheric ion storm that won't clear for a week
[6:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[maeve] Our people don't have that long. Oro says they will be sacrificed for the new moon which is in a day
[6:47][DOIC2]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he approached Turk, offering the supplies he brought* The replicator is up and running for now.. This should help, right
[6:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "You're not wrong there." *She looked to Maeve and frowned, listening.
[6:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] or well moonrise tommorrow
[6:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[maeve] Do we have enough people to take them back
[6:47][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] yes Yes it will
[6:48][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*he got busy replicating supplies
[6:48][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] Go inform the commander I can catch up here now. Mixman you join him as well
[6:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "A week... how could we not have seen the encroachment of a storm of that size..?" *She murmured almost to herself, then shook her head and lifted it back up.* "Alright. Here is what's..
[6:48][DOIC2]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Really? Not exactly one for romantic stories, I quite prefer more adventurous tales." *He patches up the officer's wound.* "Which is why I read some Klingon literature every now and then.
[6:49][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] That assumes it did nto form in the planets Ionosphere
[6:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] That assumes it did nto form in the planets Ionosphere
[6:49][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vrajen suddenly appeared
[6:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] The singing moutains might have something to do with it. I can't be sure
[6:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:been going on in camp. We've been under almost constant attack by the wildlife which abated when the rains--- Okay, thank you, let me finish.
[6:49][DOIC2]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He turns to Turk,* "Got it!
[6:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve shut up
[6:50][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He catches up to Kodor,* "I wonder what we'll do next.
[6:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "As I was saying, we've been under attack and almost the entire camp has some measure of injury that normally I'd have them beamed back up to the ship for. But, we work with what we have.
[6:51][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *she looked around at the camp and the new comers
[6:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "It seems clear to me that we need to see what is going on in the nearby settlement. That means I'm going to need you all to come with me in lieu of the security officers I would have..
[6:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:typically brought.
[6:52][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked back at the rest of the squad, listening for now
[6:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*oro was 1.9 meters tall slender, with feathers arms and four fingered hands bird liek beak features
[6:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] You will need me as well
[6:52][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Shouldering her phaser rifle and nodding as she stands visibly ready to follow the senior officer.
[6:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I was hoping you would come with us, to help us understand what is going on here.
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I'd hope to avoid a cultural misunderstanding and further incident.
[6:53][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] First I have a quesiton. Your people spoke of a sickness affecting my kind
[6:53][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded to Dr. Bessley and stuck the stick Erys had given her into the soil.
[6:53][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Once more grasping the rifle tightly.
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She glanced at the cadets ever so briefly before she looked back at Oro and nodded once.* "There is a boy, Blessed Storm here in our camp. He appears to have a fungal infection that is.
[6:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:taking over... -integrating- with his nervous system.
[6:54][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Vauri..." *She mumbled quietly.

[6:55][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*wanders off toward the damaged shuttle
[6:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She considered it a moment.* "It is a fungus that has taken root within the boy's mind. It appears to be... changing him in ways we can't discern without more knowledge of your people.
[6:56][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Commander, may I ask Oro a question?
[6:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] That is... to say he is becoming a husk
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "In a moment, Cadet.
[6:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Take me to this boy
[6:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"This is what I wanted to ask... you have heard of this then, Oro?
[6:57][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi checks her tricorder to see if it can operate properly.
[6:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] No
[6:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I'm not familiar with what you call a husk, but he's this way.
[6:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*tricorders are working agian
[6:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] It is what happens when the soul no longer sings in harmony with the body
[6:58][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi will scan Oro to add to the database of comparative physiology on this planet.
[6:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She turned to lead them to one of the temporary buildings in the center of the camp.* "I'm not certain. Which is why perhaps you should see him.
[6:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve follwoed
[6:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*gesturign for everyton to walk along
[6:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik followed her.
[6:59][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vraj followed, nodding to the friendly faces
[7:00][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He stares at Oro suspisciously,
[7:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The group stepped inside. Behind a little transparent barrier sat the tiny bird child, looking curiously at them as they entered.
[7:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Stepped out toward him
[7:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blessed Storm] "Hello. You're one of my kind? The others do not have feathers, they look strange to me.
[7:01][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik took a handkerchief out and held it in front of her nose and mouth, paranoid about weird spores.
[7:02][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vraj eyed Hedwik
[7:03][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Child, tell me what you remember
[7:03][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He walks up to Kodor,* "I don't have a good felling about her. I think she's trying to hide something from us.
[7:04][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Forgive me," *she says to Bessley* "i thought would be needed to have a before and after scan of our friend Oro, just in case.
[7:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] You may use your device
[7:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blessed Storm] "I remember more now. It was strange... like I knew my memories were there but I couldn't reach them. But now I can.
[7:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] But it could not truly scan me before remember
[7:05][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] And your name is Blessed Storm
[7:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blessed Storm] "Correct. I live in Epva with my family.
[7:05][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I am Sorrow's Song
[7:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blessed Storm] "Hello, Sorrow's Song.
[7:06][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *she eyed the child
[7:06][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I have seen what i need to see
[7:06][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she stepped out
[7:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "We'll be back later. Do you want more activity books?
[7:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blessed Storm] "No. The ones you left were very boring.
[7:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] What is it oro
[7:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] The boy is dead
[7:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I see... sorry about that. Hang tight then." *She walked out.
[7:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded to Oro and walked out.
[7:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"You saw it, then, Oro?" *She asked as they walked off.* "He is taken over. By the Vauri.
[7:08][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*He nodded to Thelonious* Is that why you were just staring at the new face
[7:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "We don't know for certain that these 'Vauri' even still exist. It could be any other phenomenon." *She looked at Oro.* "Have you seen it before?
[7:09][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] No but he lacks the melody of life. Tatpha's touch has abandoned him. The song that was Blessed Storm is over
[7:09][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] What is in there... is Abominaiton
[7:09][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Not the new face, just that I'm sensing something ominous about Oro.
[7:09][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I can hear you
[7:09][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"A... protector spirit warned us about a race that takes over people's bodies. Vauri. It is what I fear may have happened to him." *She explained to Oro.
[7:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] If perhaps that is true. Others of the village might be affected
[7:10][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"They erase the person and use the body as a... meat vessel."
[7:10][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he simply nodded
[7:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Cadet... time and place." *She said to Thelonious and then looked to Oro.* "I fear that may be the case. If we could take him up to the ship this would be easier, but..." *She..
[7:11][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] The decision is up to you. To our kind he would be cast out
[7:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:worried her lip.* "We'll make due. We need to investigate that village. Get kitted out, cadets, but keep your weapons on stun. We don't know that the rest of them are infected like this, and..
[7:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:I'm not chancing a diplomatic incident. We'll do this the rational way first... hope this all has been a terrible cultural misunderstanding.
[7:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Understood." *She ran over to what's left of the shuttle to gear up properly for combat.
[7:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I hope so as well. You may be able to negotiate banishment
[7:12][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Oro, what tells you his song is ended? What do you see or hear specifically?
[7:13][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Replicator is working again.. *he said to Hedwik as she trotted off
[7:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] it is a feeling that all Xegi feel when connected iwth others. It is why Pre was banished, no feathers a different song, her and I harmoniez instead of existi in melody
[7:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I hope so. Dorian, get as many of the officers on their feet as you can and protect the camp while we're gone. You're in charge here.
[7:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] To others that is viewed as abomination. That child... it is as if the music has died
[7:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Turk] Yes Ma'am
[7:14][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik went to the replicator to get herself stun grenades as well as cuffs.
[7:14][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Is it felt, through your connection to the world?
[7:14][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Commander. We do not understand how this infection spreads, but if it is fungal, airborne spores could be a danger. Do you want us in gas masks or helmets?
[7:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "A wise precaution. Bring masks in case we have to deploy them in the field.
[7:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded and got herself a mask too.
[7:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Yes, Tavi it is. Through Tatpha's song
[7:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He picked up a rifle.* "I feel like chicken tonight... like chicken tonight...
[7:18][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Zeke the cock connoisseur...
[7:18][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *just checked her pistol
[7:18][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Commander, the energy you feel when you stand on the planet without boots, they learn a lot about their surroundings that way. Do you have any clue how we could key our tricorders to read it?
[7:18][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vraj went about replicating the masks for everyone, handing them out when they were finished
[7:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "...Cadet, I really have more important things to be considering right now.
[7:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik did one last check, then went back to Bessley and Oro.* "Ready to move on your order, Commander.
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Everyone ready?
[7:20][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Yes ma'am. I thought we could use it to see if the villagers were affected as this boy is.
[7:20][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] I'm ready
[7:20][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:sorry about that my internet just dropped out for reasons..
[7:20][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi accepted a mask, and grabbed a couple stun grenades then reported readiness.
[7:21][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*He grabbed his phaser at last, ensuring it was on stun* Ready here.
[7:22][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*Erys is no longer with the group at this point
[7:22][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina gears up with a gas mask and her phaser rifle set to stun*
[7:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She stuck her phaser on her side.* "Let's go." *The catadai started to walk.
[7:22][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**readied her weapon and followed along*
[7:23][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *Lead them
[7:23][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] *whispered to tavi
[7:24][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik followed the leader.
[7:24][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I must warn you commander, It is possible that I will not be welcomed
[7:25][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Though my banishment was chosen by me to care for my daughter. Not forced upon me
[7:25][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i suspect it is likily none of us will be welcomed.
[7:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Would they make an exception in this case? Or would we be turned away as well?
[7:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] They will accept if you request the right of the guests
[7:26][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*nods to Maeve
[7:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Unless they are husks
[7:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] In which case... your weapons you will need them
[7:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Then we'll go that route. They were getting along well enough with Captain Blaine during their discussions before the storm hit.
[7:27][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We are not captain Blaine. That man could probably charm a log.
[7:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She looked skeptical.
[7:27][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*grins* "I heard he did.
[7:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Charm a log? An arboreal?
[7:28][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] A flower
[7:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik looks confused.* "I meant it figuratively.
[7:28][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i am sure they will respond to logic and reason.
[7:28][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Before I was born.
[7:28][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Me too
[7:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I saw her a few times when I was younger on the Citadel. She was... very pretty.
[7:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik kept looking around for an ambush.* "Oh, a floral humanoid? That sounds lovely.
[7:29][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *as they approached the river
[7:29][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he blinked at Bessley, surprised to hear that
[7:29][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *she looked for a palce they could jump across
[7:29][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] This way.. do not walk on the brdiges
[7:30][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Learned that the hard way.
[7:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Understood.
[7:30][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She would follow the way showed to them by the birb.
[7:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*oro glided across
[7:30][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi walks the opposite flank from Hedi to cover both sides
[7:30][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Are the bridges booby trapped?
[7:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*before them was a makabel jump
[7:31][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Sacred
[7:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve shrugged and jumped
[7:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Don't mind if I do!" *He took a running jump.
[7:31][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik jumped after the elf.
[7:31][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Jumping
[7:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she made it
[7:31][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Frown as the bird lady glided across. Zarin took a step back and got a small running start to jump the river.*
[7:33][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He walked back, ran, and jumped across the bridge.
[7:33][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:(91
[7:33][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:(76
[7:33][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*everyone makes it over the bridge, however zarina falls face first into some mud
[7:34][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Jumps the river, but lands in a patch of mud and goes down*
[7:34][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik lands gracefully and cringes as she watches the beryxian elf fall into the mud.
[7:34][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi offers Zarina a hand out, not worred about stepping in mud
[7:34][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik covers the others while they deal with Zarina.
[7:34][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina qiuickly lifts herself up, spitting out the mud she got in her mouth..*
[7:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*She's not certain it was all mud.
[7:35][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"All good princess, it builds character.
[7:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] If the scout saw that it will aid you
[7:35][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**takes Tavi's hand** "Thank you.
[7:35][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The mud will aid us?
[7:35][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i am unharmed.
[7:35][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] No the fact that you did not walk over a bridge
[7:36][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Those are for the dead
[7:36][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Ah.
[7:36][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] it is why Pre is shunned flightless Xegi must walk as the spirits do
[7:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Cultural sensitivity's one of my highest marks, after all.
[7:36][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**wipes the mud off her face*
[7:36][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"That... does not seem entirely fair. Shunning someone for a birth defect.
[7:36][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] It is not far now
[7:37][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Usually such children are left to die
[7:37][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Once she is good, Tavi takes up her outrider position on the flank again.
[7:37][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Better for her to walk and live, then.
[7:37][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he frowned
[7:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As they walk they see little wooden chimes have been set up in the high branches of many of the trees, which are getting taller as they approach Epva.
[7:39][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**looking at the wooden chimes curiously*
[7:39][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Athena, light my path and coat my blade in flame.
[7:39][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Where is Erys
[7:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Who?
[7:39][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Your friend went ahead
[7:39][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"What is the significance of the wind chimes Oro?
[7:39][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...Was she with us when we left?
[7:39][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"oh, great, she is an idiot, then.
[7:40][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] She moves quickly
[7:40][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"No brains to slow her down, I suppose.
[7:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "She wasn't ordered to do that.
[7:41][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] This way
[7:41][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"She does not seem to be a team player.
[7:41][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She kept with the group.* "One issue at a time, I suppose.
[7:42][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He follows the group, though keeping an eye on Oro.
[7:42][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It means she will be our first impression though...
[7:42][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...Ladies help us
[7:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Not likely. She is a skileld hunter
[7:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Her song is old
[7:43][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked at Bessley and waited her actions
[7:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "One issue at a time.
[7:44][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*from ery's vantage point from the last bit of elevation she could see the city befor ethem... and the prisoners suspended well above the ground. There were a few rope elevators that lead up to th
[7:44][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:main city but for the most part it would seem the xegi fly up.
[7:44][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*erys unforutnatley could get not further than the ground level vantage without a long climb up a tree
[7:45][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she would then become immenintely aware of the osund of starfleet boots
[7:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] As i said she went ahead
[7:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*oro had lead them to erys's position
[7:45][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"Any specific orders once we reach the villiage ma'am?" **She asks Bessley*
[7:46][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We reached it, it's right there.
[7:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "...As I have said, we are going to assume this is a cultural misunderstanding and attempt to deal with this diplomatically. Do not remove your weapons unless we are attacked.
[7:47][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"Aye ma'am.
[7:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Cadet, we'll discuss your lack of self preservation when this mission is over," *she informed Erys.
[7:47][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Understood. I pray we have no reason to shoot.
[7:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Oro, is there a way that we should approach that you would recommend?
[7:48][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina slings her rifle over her shoulder*
[7:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] This way
[7:48][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*Erys held a PaDD toward Bessley. A list of observations about the village, including numbers and potential fighting strength, was on the screen
[7:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] *walked towards a large rope elevator
[7:48][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She followed Oro.
[7:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] This is used to lift prey
[7:49][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*As they approach the village, Tavi shoulder's her weapon*
[7:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *she let out a call from the ground
[7:49][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:And here we go.
[7:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Taphta N'aera aens Skeelanda

[7:50][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It's on my shoulder, not ready to fire.
[7:50][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Maliah, I do not believe you are in any position to tell anyone what to do. Quiet now.
[7:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*After a few moments a few Xegi desended from the suspended city, landing some yards away from the group.* "For what purpose have you brought the exile?
[7:53][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I brought them
[7:53][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She took her best non-threatening stance, trying her hardest not to look like a member of a species that evolved eating birds.
[7:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "We meant no offense. She is helping us to better understand your people, so that perhaps we can remedy the error that has occurred between our people.
[7:54][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina remains quiet but moves into a positions next to Beesley*
[7:55][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*fades into the background
[7:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Xegi] "There has been no error. Now leave.
[7:55][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi watches for feral species, less than what is above in the village

[7:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[oro] These people if they wished could destroy Taphta from the sky

[7:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Xegi] "Don't think that we are defenseless. Much has changed since you took your abomination from this place. We're stronger than you can imagine.
[7:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Doubtful. They have machines unlike anything we have
[7:58][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina looked around, looking for any signs of out of place technology*
[7:58][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik was more keeping an eye out for extra Xegi eyes on them.
[7:59][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he glanced back to Oro at that
[8:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Take the commander before our fathers. They have asked for Guest Rights

[8:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Taka] "What would they have to say to our fathers? You have no right to demand anything.
[8:02][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik visibly grew annoyed, jaw setting as if she were considering biting a chicken's tail feathers off.
[8:03][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I do not, but they do. Take them Taka it is not your job to interpret law merely obey it
[8:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Taka] "Very well. But you must stay outside of our bounds. You know the law.
[8:08][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Yes. I know the law. And I was nto banished. I chose exile which means unless you wish to challenge me on the following two moons for it. You will le tme see my father
[8:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Taka] *He straightened and tensed some, feathers rising slightly.
[8:09][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik tensed up as well, preparing to intervene if it comes to blows.
[8:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She took a step forward.* "Perhaps this is not the venue to challenge such interpretations. A discussion with the elders would surely clear this up.

[8:11][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*oro seemd to chok over one word
[8:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Taka] *He fixed his stare on Bessley for a moment, then snapped his attention at Oro. Abruptly he turned.* "Come. Quickly now. They'll need to use the lifts.
[8:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] Yes not all worthy are blessed with flight
[8:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*oro hovered up
[8:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve moved toward the lfit
[8:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Taka] *He scowled and took off.
[8:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Jeez, what's that guy's problem?
[8:13][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**stayed near Dr Bessley, standing guard over her*
[8:13][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She got on the lift too.
[8:13][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Moved to lift, still holding guard position facing away.
[8:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I don't know and I don't care to know, I just hope he doesn't prove an obstacle to getting our people back.
[8:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She climbed on the lift.
[8:14][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vraj shook his head, hopping into the lift
[8:14][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**followed onto the lift*
[8:15][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*brought up the rear, stepping up onto the lift and standing near the edge
[8:16][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He follows the group to the lift.
[8:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Once they were all on the platform, it lurched and began to ascend up toward the massive, teardrop shaped buildings hanging suspended from the interlocked boughs of countless trees.
[8:16][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**As the whole group climbs onto the lift, Zarina wonders how well maintained it is.*
[8:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*After a few minutes of awkward silence, the lift reached the top. A long but relatively sturdy platform extended toward the different buildings, and they could see Oro and a very irritated..
[8:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Taka by one of them nearby.
[8:20][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina stays with Dr Bessley, like a shadow*
[8:20][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She stepped onto the platform.
[8:21][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He quietly tries to sense the thoughts of everyone in the room.
[8:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Let's not waste any more time then." *She strode toward the two Xegi in question.
[8:21][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She followed the doctor.
[8:22][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**followed along like a good little security drone.*
[8:23][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi keeps to the opposite flank from Hedi at all times, covering the senior officers.
[8:24][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*walked at the back of the group, but her attention was primarily on the occupants of the city
[8:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Taka] "Come, then..." *He turned and entered the building. Inside was a vast circular chamber, and upon its high walls were perched a number of aged Xegi in what must have been comfortable..
[8:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:little alcoves.
[8:25][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik looked around the room curiously, eyeing the old birbs.
[8:25][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"That looks nice...
[8:25][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vraj followed along, taking in the sight
[8:27][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**Zarina could not help but smiling as she saw the perched Xagi, recalling the story book from her childhood about the wise old owl*
[8:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She paused a moment, waiting to see if she was going to be introduced, then took the initiative.* "Good day to you all. I'm Lieutenant Commander Aija Bessley of the starship Stardancer.
[8:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I believe there's been an unfortunate misunderstanding... three of our crewmates were taken, evidently for the purpose of sacrifice. Naturally, well, we would care to avoid this.
[8:30][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**The smile quickly fled Zarina's face and she snapped back into security mode snading next to the doctor as she spoke*
[8:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Now, in the interest of---
[8:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Old Xegi] "A single voice for a chorus?
[8:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Old Xegi 2] "That is not our way. This will not do.
[8:31][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**cants her head at that curiously*
[8:32][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik supressed the urge to roll her eyes so hard they fall off.
[8:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She paused for a moment.* "I'm... afraid I don't understand what you mean.
[8:32][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"What, do they want ALL of us to say it at the same time?" *He looked to the group.
[8:33][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She glared at Thelonious and shushed him.
[8:33][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] *feathers slighlty twitched when thelonius spoke up not in a annoyed way
[8:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Xegi 3] "A group we see before us... unless you doubt our eyesight?
[8:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Old Xegi 1] "Arguments from all... that is the way. We would hear an entreatment from each.
[8:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "You... want us to present to you as a group?" *She was trying to hide the incredulity from her voice.
[8:35][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"She speaks for us, and our starship avove.
[8:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Old Xegi 2] "Your way. Not our way.
[8:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She paused another brief moment before speaking again.* "If you would give us a moment, please?
[8:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Old Xegi] "Hurry... we have only so many moments left to us." *He cawed a laugh.
[8:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The other old Xegi laughed as well.
[8:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *She turned on her heel to lead them back outside.
[8:37][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik could not help but smile at the joke.
[8:37][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Oro] I would use the time while they prepare to speak with you father. In duet
[8:37][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She bowed her head at the old birbs and followed Bessley.
[8:37][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*oro would head off to speak with the lead old crow
[8:38][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve followed Bessley
[8:38][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**followed beesley*
[8:38][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*on flank
[8:38][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he followed
[8:39][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He follows the Commander
[8:39][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:*lingered for a moment before following the group outside
[8:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] *Once they were outside she turned to face them all.* "So... it appears we are all going to have to speak in defense of the other cadets. Right off the bat... anyone feel they are..
[8:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:incapable of doing so?
[8:40][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*shakes* "Speaking in unison might be difficult, but saying my peace, I am ready.
[8:40][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"i am perfectly capable of speaking ma'am.
[8:40][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We will not be speaking in unison.
[8:40][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Unless we keep it simple
[8:40][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"But yes, I believe I should be able to tell them what I think.
[8:40][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Aww, would've been really funny if we did.
[8:40][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] They said a chorus
[8:41][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Which means we need a round
[8:41][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"An entreatment from each, also. I interpreted that as speaking in turns?
[8:41][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] but also togehter. Like um a song
[8:41][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"They just seem to be using terminology like that. Oro asked a duet with her father, I do not expect them to be singing at each other.
[8:41][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] It probably has something to do with how their beliefs work with the song of ht eplanet
[8:42][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She shrugged.
[8:42][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Who here remembers their religious studies from year one
[8:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Pretend I don't, what would you tell me?
[8:43][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Nods* "What is your meaning?
[8:43][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She gave Maeve a noncommital shrug.
[8:43][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Okay so relgious music is often call and response
[8:43][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Ok, so you wish us all to answer in unison when given signal to answer call?
[8:44][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Maeve] Which means the second voices don't have to remember much jsut maintain the response to the speaker. So The commander can say a line. Then we say a response keeping it going. Then the nex
[8:44][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:person says a line and we say the response. We improv the lines. But everyone keeps the same message on the secon
[8:44][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"So say we all.
[8:44][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:For instance. "Oh when israel was in egypt Land.
[8:45][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Let my people go.
[8:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Exactly.
[8:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"We reinforce the message we want.
[8:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Then everyone just says a scenario
[8:45][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"And we use a simple melody.
[8:46][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I fall to command, inform us as to our part and the cadence.
[8:46][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Athena, would it kill them to have a fucking podium one could speak a simple sentence from?
[8:46][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"But I will sing like a clown, yes.
[8:46][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"Will this be with or without a choreographed dance routine?
[8:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"WIhtout
[8:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I don't think we have time for that.
[8:47][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Sideeye to Zarina for a moment
[8:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Commander what do you think?
[8:47][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She was -glaring- at Zarina.
[8:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "I think we don't have much choice.
[8:47][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Do we have anything to write on so that we know what to say?
[8:47][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I pray you are right and they don't simply think us completely insane, Ensign.
[8:47][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:Alright so we keep a rhythm going.
[8:48][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"You have to make it up.
[8:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Bessley] "Here goes." *She walked back inside.
[8:48][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Set the rythm, you are musically inclined. I have a voice but not such talent.
[8:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"For instnace commander bessley miught start, " I know we might have made offense, But that was not our intent so would you..
[8:49][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She followed Bessley, dreading her life.
[8:49][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**followed back inside, staying with Bessley*
[8:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as she's clapping
[8:49][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Let my people go.
[8:49][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi picks up tone and word queues off of Tolena and does her best to match them going forward.
[8:50][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**looks at Tolena a moment, then follows along with her Clapping her hands and singins softly in rythm*
[8:50][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He follows along with the group with a grin on his face.
[8:50][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"let my people go..
[8:50][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Then i'd sing, "Walkign for us is just our way, Our dead don't need to walk any way so, " let my people go.
[8:51][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"and stuff like that.
[8:51][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*nodding, following her lead
[8:51][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"We just need an order. I think we go in order of rank and let the commander finish up as well.
[8:51][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"So her me, then we'll just go in alphabetical.
[8:52][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Alphabetical family or first name?
[8:52][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**looks to Bessley to start things off, keeping a rythm with her hands softly*
[8:53][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Antony, Zarina, Erys, Kodor Thelopnius Hedwik Zeke then the commander again
[11:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Bessley] Okay..
[11:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Bessley] WOrth a shot
[11:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Let us get it out of the way so they can shoot us.
[11:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*bessley marched them back into the chamber
[11:57][DOIC1]Erys@Cuatel:Yeah.... that's the spirit
[11:58][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:*He loudly clears up his throat, and heads into the chamber.
[11:58][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[The Birds were waiting
[11:58][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Bessley] Okay.. Here this goes
[11:59][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*bessley started with not to bad set of catadai pipes
[12:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Bessley] I know we might have made offense, But that was not our intent so would you..
[12:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve joined in with the chorus line* "Let our people go.
[12:00][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Let our people go..." *She sang, doing her best to emulate enthusiasm for the others' sake.
[12:01][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Let our people go... *he glanced nervously at the rest of the group
[12:01][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi does the chorus with everyone...
[12:01][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:"let our people go.", along with the others.,*
[12:03][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve took her turn* " Walking for us is just our way our dead dont need walk anyway so...
[12:03][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*chorus
[12:03][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She sings the chorus, trying to block out her noble sensibilities screaming at her in her head.
[12:03][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:(108
[12:05][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:(51
[12:05][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"We came in peace, minds open wide, to learn your ways, your wisdom guide,
[12:05][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as they each went in a round, it was fortuante that no one got zekes double entendre but the birds look at them and speak amongs themselves
[12:06][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Your wisdom is now clear, let us sprend tales of it far and near, if you...
[12:06][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Kilak] You have honored our ways and We see it was a misunderstanding. For this we will allow your people to be freed but you will have to capture a Jika Beast. Before the moon rise.
[12:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Kilak] Now that that is settled you may stay here. and walk about the Roost
[12:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik seems -very- relieved to hear she will not have to do more jestering.
[12:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:{kilak] Commander. We need to speak with out in solo.
[12:07][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**The color fades from Zarina's face and she looka bit more green than usual.*
[12:07][DOIC1]Thelonious@AJwaderz#6680:"Well that was fun..
[12:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Bessley] okay Maeve go get our people
