[12:26][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:After the crdits roll and the theme music plays we join our heroes who have gathered at the bar in the casino at the Galactic Grand hotel
[12:27][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:The place is busy with various LMC species around the bar and around the various table games
[12:29][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:{Maggie] **Maggie Peebles joins the group at the bar, looking around** "So this is where everyone hangs out.
[12:30][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. I read up on the Gluckhererehwrh... rules." *Telek butchered the pronounciation.* "I am ready for anything.
[12:30][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili arched a brow, lips pursing slightly as the boss lady showed up and turned back to her drink.* "As of the last half hour, anyway.
[12:32][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Appearing in a modest but attractive dress with a new leather cape* "Hello everyone. What is good here?
[12:32][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, I just watched a bursali bouncer punch a kirtascan so hard some of his scales fell off.
[12:33][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Not one of -our- kirtascans, I don't think. Haven't seen those friends of ours again, thankfully.
[12:33][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "remember, our room, food, and drinks are comped. Thanks to Lirien..I don't think it covers the games.
[12:33][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"it's no fun when someone else pays for it, either way.
[12:33][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Sure.
[12:34][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] **walks up to the bar** "Hey guys. This place is nice.
[12:34][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"It's alright ..." *pause as she purposefully leaves out Lieutenant* " I don't gamble unless it is a myself competing.
[12:35][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek got a refill of his Skaran venom-wine, blinking at Ezri.* "Weren't you supposed to stay at the starbase??
[12:35][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*blinking athe arrival of Ezri
[12:35][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **is startled by Ezri** "What the fu...How did you get here?
[12:35][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Did she sneak aboard the ship?
[12:35][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "What i got bored.
[12:35][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"isn't that how wars get started?
[12:35][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "No i used the teleportation cube.
[12:36][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I thought it couldn't transfer living matter?
[12:36][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She downed the rest of her drink.
[12:36][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Oh, that's so cool, if our magic devices can safely carry people we could solve so many issues.
[12:36][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "The portals are safe enough.
[12:37][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "it takes a lot of concentration though.
[12:37][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"did you .... test it? On yourself?
[12:37][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"A true scientific pioneer.
[12:38][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Well of course.
[12:38][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] **puts a tray of gambling chips the bar.*
[12:38][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Say... do you think you could use those portals to portal cards to me unseen?
[12:39][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Telek!" *looking aghast
[12:39][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"What?
[12:39][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "What?
[12:39][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"That's not ethical.
[12:39][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"That's -competely- ethical. The odds are always in the house's favor, I am just evening them up.
[12:40][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "They don't like it when you cheat.
[12:40][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Just reasons to not play.
[12:40][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "lets not cheat, we dont need any run ins with the local authorties.
[12:40][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, so that's why we got to be careful not to be caught." *He smiled at Ezri.
[12:41][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Yes, Lieutenant..." *He looked -very- disappointed.
[12:41][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Nice outfit Lieutenant." *changing the subject
[12:41][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek sipped on his wine, mood soured.
[12:42][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Mine? its just something i threw on.
[12:43][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"So modest." *smiles
[12:43][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek wandered off to one of the tables with some chips and sat down, determined to win, with Ezri's portals or without them.
[12:44][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **looks around** "Campbell isn't here? I thought he was going to be here in his kilt?
[12:44][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*rough sigh* "He said he would be resting, he was worn out from not sleeping before the flight.
[12:45][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "oh well that is too bad..
[12:45][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **looks at Ezri** "Where did you get all those chips?
[12:46][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "i bought them.
[12:46][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Obviously disapointed* 'Yes... it is." *Trying to cover that fact* "But we are all hear, cultural exchange and everything to be excited about.
[12:46][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Bought them with what?
[12:47][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Kzari marks that i bought from the Ferengi with latinum.
[12:47][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"is that the local currency? Kzari marks?
[12:48][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "one of many LMC currencies. The currency of choice on this worls seems to be Kzari marks or Chantry astrum.
[12:49][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek was already in a heated game with a couple of kzari and a beryxian who seemed to only be wearing pasties in the shapes of card suits.
[12:50][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Activating her wrist device to PADD mode, she looks up the two items in the database for identification* "Interesting.
[12:50][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] **hands some chips to the others.** "That is 10000 marks, should get you into any game in here.
[12:51][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Thanks...Should i be asking where you are getting all this money from?
[12:51][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek banged his fist on the table.* "Hell yes!" *He got up and went back to the bar, his pile of chips considerably grown.
[12:51][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Thank you ... is it alright to call you Ezri?
[12:52][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Sure, it is my name.
[12:52][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Kzari got -terrible- poker faces, their eye-slits change sizes constantly.
[12:53][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru orders something 'local' that her PADD says is non toxic to her physiology, to try.
[12:54][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*The Tanausan seemed generally disinterested in the discussions, working on her next drink while her gaze roved the room.
[12:54][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"So, uh... how are we going to explain Ezri missing if the higher ups ask?
[12:55][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Do we have to?
[12:55][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"They'll probably be pretty pissed with us when we make it back.
[12:55][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"We gotta get our stories straight.
[12:55][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Why would they be pissed at us...we didn't do anything.
[12:55][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"But what story? she did everything herself.
[12:56][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I do not believe I am to be held responsible, I'm just worried about her left to her own devices.
[12:56][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "i will just portal back before anyone knows i am gone.
[12:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek shrugged.* "Even if we are not going to be held responsible, we'll probably be questioned.
[12:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Ah, fair enough.
[12:57][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"If questions, I'll be honest. It is a simple enough solution.
[12:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Inara may be a problem...
[12:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Just tell them what happened. It has nothing to do with us.
[12:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **looks at Lilliath** "Exactly.
[12:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"If they can't keep their idiot savant contained it's not our problem.
[12:58][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"But if we tell them the truth we may land Ezri in hot water. I don't want to lose the scientist who makes us useful things like that inventory thing.
[12:58][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "i am going to go play the Chantry spiney wheel thing. its not Dabo, but close enough.
[12:59][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...I suppose the "chantry" girl spinning the wheel -is- reason enough to play that..." *He eyed the chantry wheel game appreciatively.
[12:59][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Telek, if she has not been ejected from Starfleet yet, what makes you think anything she does here will be what tips it over?
[12:59][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "if she lands in hot water it will be easier to force her to stay around.
[1:01][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Ezri takes her chips and heads to a roulette wheel looking table being run by some beautiful golden woman in a lovely gown
[1:01][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Uh, well, she was missing for a long time... and she went missing while the war was still on. They might not have gotten to it yet.
[1:01][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **watches Ezri walk away.** "That one scares me.
[1:01][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **watches Ezri walk away.** "That one scares me.
[1:02][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"You have a good point, Lili.
[1:02][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"And you are easily scared, Lieutenant..." *He walked off to join the roulette game.
[1:02][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She gave a deep sigh and drank.
[1:04][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*trying her drink* "I don't know about easily, Mom told me stories of Ezri Tegan. She didn't know her, but worked with people who did. I'm sure they got worse, but just wow.
[1:04][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **looks at the chips** "i wonder if they have any beginner games here?
[1:06][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*quietly to Maggie* "Should I be calling you Maggie? Or Ms Peebles? I don't think I should be using rank while out of uniform... it's why we are not in uniform right?
[1:07][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She gave a noncomittal shrug.* "I'm sure they do." *She got up from the bar and headed outside to the balcony.
[1:07][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "yeah we are off duty, you can call me Maggie.
[1:09][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Yes, ok. Just call me Dru then... everyone does.
[1:09][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **smiles** "okay Dru.
[1:10][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:out on the balcony it is a lovely warm evening with an impressive view of the city scape
[1:12][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Not sure how she feels about the experimental beverage
[1:12][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She leaned elegantly against the railing, watching the city sprawling before her as dusk fell.
[1:13][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I wasn't sure what to wear to be honest. I didn't want to stand out, but it looks like there is such a motley spread of people that is hard to judge.
[1:14][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:**A voice from behind Lilli speaks, "lovely view isn't it?
[1:14][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I've seen worse," *she conceded, glancing over her shoulder.
[1:15][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "yeah i am uncertain what the etiquette for space casinos is myself.
[1:15][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Flight etiquette is so much easier. There is always rules if you can access the postings.
[1:16][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:**A rather handsom looking Kzari male in a nice suit is standing there.*
[1:16][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kzari male] "I have seem worse myself.
[1:17][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kzari male] "The name is Kelan.
[1:18][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I'm certain it is." *She turned back toward the cityscape.* "Did you need something?
[1:18][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "yeah, having posted rules is always nice,
[1:19][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kelan] "You are a long way from home.
[1:19][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kelan] "You are a long way from home.
[1:20][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"So everyone has always been content with reminding me." *She sipped her drink daintily.
[1:21][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I'm just trying to no... mess things up. I did enough of that as a kid.
[1:22][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kelan] "...Well, my employer would like to speak to you.
[1:23][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek returned with a very sour expression.
[1:23][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She gave a small click of her tongue.* "And there it is." *She turned around again.* "What is his desire, a blue head on a stick or a blue pussy to stick it in? Because I can assure you I am..
[1:23][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:offering neither.
[1:23][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Looking around at the entertainment options.
[1:23][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"The cute chantry girl kept offering me one more spin...
[1:24][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kelan] "He only wishes to speak with you and your friends.
[1:25][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:**A larger Bursali male approaches the group at the bar.** "My emplyer wishes to speak with you folks.
[1:25][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Then you've approached the wrong person. Our fearless leader is inside.
[1:25][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*smiling to Telek* "I heard they were trouble. Mom would threaten Dad with sending him to meet with a chantry nun when she was mad at him.
[1:25][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kelan] "i am aware of that.
[1:26][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek nodded to the bartender.* "Bursali ale for our new friend." *He paid in advance, then looked to Bursali.* "Who's your employer?
[1:26][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Her smile was disarming. I couldn't just cut my losses and go.
[1:26][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Then you needn't any more of my guidance, do you?
[1:26][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Turning toward the Bursali, she can't help but shrink against the bar just a little at the size of the fellow.
[1:26][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **looks at the Bursali** "Are we in some sort of trouble?
[1:27][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kelan] "No, but i do need you to come with me.
[1:27][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"If we were in trouble, he'd have popped my head like a balloon.
[1:27][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She chuckled.* "Yes, I don't think that's going to happen.
[1:27][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Bursali] "No trouble. My employer wishes to speak wioth you.
[1:28][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"No reason to refuse a polite invitation, I'd say
[1:28][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru double checks the translation matrix against her PADD to be sure speak can't be mistranslated to something horrible.
[1:28][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kelan] **opens his jacket to reveal the stunner in a holter under it.** "That is not a good idea.
[1:29][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Are you offering us a choice here?
[1:30][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Bursali] "No i am not.
[1:30][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Is your employer far?
[1:30][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*This only seemed to amuse her more.* "You're really going to shoot me on a crowded balcony?
[1:30][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Bursali] "Not far, in a nearby office.
[1:30][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I'd rather not have my spine pulled out through my ear tonight, Ma'am.
[1:31][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He jerked his head towards the bursali, as if to say it's probably smart to follow him.
[1:31][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kalen] **smirks** "yes, if you make me. No one is going to care.
[1:32][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Maggie, your call. I don't want to split up, and we are not all here, but our new friend does have a ... no points, but a compelling presence.
[1:32][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"You Kzari are always such a delight," *she mused.* "I suppose I may as well see what all the fuss is about if it's got you -this- worked up and upset.
[1:33][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **frowns** "Fine. Let go see what this is all about.
[1:33][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He went to follow the big bear.
[1:34][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kalen] "Directness is one of the Kzari charms.
[1:34][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Agreed" *Dru goes to follow, checking the seating of her hand phaser under her cloak when not in the bear like gaze
[1:35][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"When appropriate, it can be one of ours too. Now are we going or what?
[1:35][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:The group is led to a back office, outside of which the group, minus Ezri, is rejoined by Lilliath who is with a Kzari male
[1:36][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Figures they sent the handsome one to entrap Lili." *He smirked.
[1:36][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **looks at Lilli** "Are you okay Lilliath?
[1:36][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Don't get so jealous, I wasn't convinced until he pulled out his stunner." *She shrugged at Maggie.* "I'm still conscious, aren't I?
[1:37][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Well, it isn't likely to turn out well if she was harmed.
[1:37][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:**Maggie looks at the Kzari male suspiciously.*
[1:37][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kalen] "please into the office people.
[1:38][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek shrugged and walked into the office.
[1:38][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Would it be offensive if I said you two give off a black market type of presence?
[1:38][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She shrugged and followed Telek.
[1:39][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:The group is ushered into the officer. The office is rather nice with a large hard wood desk and other furntuur
[1:40][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"You know, as far as places to get my brains blown out at go, this one is pretty decent." *He said quietly.
[1:40][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:inside ther are four others, a another Kzari make and a femal, both dressed in very nice but professional atire and oddly enough two Ferengi males
[1:40][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I was just looking at going dancing, I'd hate to die without having done that." *she tries to joke
[1:41][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"...Okay, which of you cheated at cards?" *she muttered.
[1:41][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kzari male] "I assure you no one is dying here.
[1:41][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I thought about it, but they stopped me.
[1:41][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to their gracious hosts.
[1:42][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Good to know, why the heavy handed tactics then?
[1:43][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Kzari male] "i am Ser Zomklont and this here is my sister Monnia. We represent the LMC Commerce consortium. Sorry for the heavy handed tactics, but we felt we had to insist on your attendance.
[1:44][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Why? An invitation might have had the same result with less angst.
[1:44][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "oh but we were kind of going to angst.
[1:44][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"We had an invitation, technically?
[1:44][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:**for angst
[1:45][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"We could tell.
[1:45][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili's gaze wandered around the room.
[1:45][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:**The two Ferengi just sort of stand off to the side watching.*
[1:45][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "Would any of you like a drink?
[1:46][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Head gesturing to the ferengi* "Sure, but you know they are not with us, right?
[1:46][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"We'd like you to get to the point, I believe.
[1:46][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "Of course not, they are with us.
[1:46][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"No reason not to share drinks after, of course.
[1:46][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I can think of a few.
[1:47][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Fare enough...
[1:47][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "Right, down to business. What i am wondering is what the Starfleet's interest in our operation is.
[1:47][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*laughs
[1:47][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"We have no interest. We are just stopping by on our way deeper into space.
[1:47][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Wait what?
[1:48][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"We didn't know you had an operation till you told us.
[1:48][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Trust me, if we wanted to spy on people, we'd have probably sent someone less conspicuous than a tanny and a cardassian in a pink suit.
[1:48][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She exhaled and looked upward.
[1:48][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "..oh interesting.
[1:48][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Goddess, is no one the least bit competent?
[1:49][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:**Ser looks over at the Ferengi*
[1:49][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "Your inteligence seem a bit faulty.
[1:50][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Zralok] "Well they are Starfleet...
[1:51][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"We have rules against engaging in intoxicating behavior or gambling in uniform. That's why we are out of them. We arrived in a marked ship, in uniform. We are not spying, we are visiting.
[1:51][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Sir... no offence, but you're not from the milky way. Ferengi'd sell their own moogie for a bit extra dosh.
[1:52][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"They probably got their own angle, what it is, I got no idea.
[1:52][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Never met a Ferengi without one.
[1:52][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Even the really fat ones have angles, sort of.
[1:53][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Zralok] "I am sure they are lying. Starfleet is always meddling.
[1:53][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Dude. As I said... would a group of spies and meddlers have come in pink suits with the -most- conspicuously non-belonging races?
[1:54][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Except her, I guess." *He kinda nodded towards Peebs.* "Humans fit in anywhere. But not us.
[1:54][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"...Is that seriously your only claim? We're Starfleet, therefore we must be involved in whatever backwater fuckwit scheme you're cooking up here?
[1:54][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Telek, I prefer 'inclusive' to non-belonging.
[1:54][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] **rubs his chin** "This appears to a big misunderstanding.
[1:54][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Yes, may we go back to that drink?
[1:55][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "Yes, please return to your enjoyment. In fact the rest of your stay here is on me. To make up for this unpleasantness.
[1:56][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"So generous, but we didn't catch your names.
[1:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"They gave them to us, Dru..
[1:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Sir Zomklont and Lady Monnia.
[1:56][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I meant the ferengi, sorry.
[1:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[SEr] "Yes as he stated.
[1:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Her eyes narrowed slightly as Tanny paranoia set in.
[1:57][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Since the ferengi are the ones that caused the inconvenience, I assumed it would be on them to pay.
[1:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ferengi] "My name is Zralok and this is my brother Lalok.
[1:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Why are we really here?" *She snapped, looking right at the Kzari.
[1:59][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Did you all leave Ezri at the bar?
[1:59][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Who?
[1:59][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "Ezri? What is an Ezri?
[2:00][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*shrugs* "I wasn't watch her, it wasn't my turn
[2:00][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Goddess..." *She groaned and tried to leave.
[2:01][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:**No one tried to stop Lilliath as she tried to leave.*
[2:01][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Sencing that, she goes to leave with Liliath, but her concern was more for Conor than Ezri
[2:01][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:(sensing
[2:01][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ser] "Again you have my seepest apologoes.
[2:01][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili moved quickly back to the bar.
[2:02][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded his head to the kzari.* "These things happen. Nobody got hurt. Have a good night.
[2:02][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **followed the otehrs out.** "What the heck? What kind of place is this?
[2:03][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He headed out with the others, looking unfazed.
[2:03][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"If that wasn't a distraction or an attempt to size us up, I'll eat my combadge.
[2:03][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:As they head back to the bar Ezri is there waiting for them
[2:03][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Feels like a black market port. Everyone looking to do something shady and assuming everyone else is trying to cheat them or inform on them.
[2:03][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"A station on the edge of a large empire's territories usually means little government oversight. Lots of players with lots of agenda.
[2:04][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Where did you guys go?
[2:04][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Doesn't matter. Did anyone attempt to talk to you while we were gone? Anything unusual happen in here?
[2:04][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "i need a drink.
[2:05][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru checks on Conor to see if he has left his room using the locator app on the PADD
[2:05][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "Unusual...not really...i lost money...but that isn't unusual.
[2:06][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili frowned, unconvinced.* "I'm going to check my room. I suggest you all do the same.
[2:06][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:**Sru finds Conor is in his room, apparently safe and sound.*
[2:06][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She turned and headed upstairs.
[2:06][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Lili, going back to his own room to check it.
[2:06][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Good idea...i bet they searched them.
[2:07][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Never liked dealing with Ferengi, Mom said they are always trouble, but a means to an end.
[2:07][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Ezri] "They never should have let the Ferengi into the LMC.
[2:07][DOIC3]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek entered his room to give it a once-over, and also a scan with a tricorder to see if any listening devices or the like exist.
[2:08][DOIC6]Draganov@Gonz.:*Checking her room, tricorder looking for listening/monitoring devices after checking her bag & uniform is undisturbed.
[2:08][DOIC4]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She arrived in her own room, giving it a scan as well as going through all of her belongings by hand.
[2:08][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:A tricorder snan would reveal a few rather well placed bugs and while the search was done well it was not done well enough to prevent detection
[2:09][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:However, nothing seems to be missing
[2:09][DOIC3]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek could not help himself and picked up a bug, then held it to his backside, and let the nasty fart he'd been holding back for a while out -stragiht- into the bug.
[2:10][DOIC4]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili picked out the bugs, put them all neatly on the tray from when she'd ordered room service earlier, then set the tray in the hallway outside her door.
[2:10][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:elsewhere Ser frowns, "Vile.
[2:11][DOIC3]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He left the bug back where it had originally been, then browsed his music library for a bit, blasting cardassian doom metal, before walking back out to rejoin the others.
[2:11][DOIC6]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru marks the bugs, but leaves them in place though makes sure they were not able to transmit visuals of the room before that. If they were, she would remove them.
[2:12][DOIC4]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She then picked up the room's PADD, checked to see that the room was indeed comped by the Kzari duo, then proceeded to order the most expensive liquor and hors d'oeuvres on the menu.
[2:13][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek walked into the bar.* "Room was bugged. I left the bugs where they were and put on Ascendance as loud as possible.
[2:13][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:The room was in fact now being comped by the hotel. and the most expensive liquor was now being sent to her room
[2:13][DOIC6]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru would physically check on Conor, then return to the bar
[2:14][DOIC4]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Very good," *she nodded and then departed for the bar.
[2:14][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Dru checked on Conor, who was okay but a very sound sleeper
[2:15][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded to Lili.* "Bugged, as we'd suspected. I am giving them a crash course on Cardassian Doom metal.
[2:15][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Room is bugged, you were right. Conor is still sleeping, they left him alone.
[2:16][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "that is wierd..I want to know what this is really about.
[2:16][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She returned.* "As was mine. I ordered the most expensive bottles of alcohol they carry in this hotel; I believe one has gold flake, and another was crafted with exactly seven tears from..
[2:16][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Ascendence? You put on music for them to record?
[2:16][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:Kesslar himself in the vat.
[2:16][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Hell yeah, Dru. The godfathers of cardassian music.
[2:17][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"I should have put on christmas music... I didn't think of that.
[2:17][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"I was just trying not to annoy my neighbors, but that is funny Telek.
[2:17][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"And not a bad move, Lili. I think I'll try your drinks. In exchange, we'll use my room's tab to cover cigars. Yanda deep-sea tobacco.
[2:18][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **taps her comm badge** "Lieutenant Peebles to Doctor Felisar
[2:18][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I turned on noise isolation, of course.
[2:18][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Oh no, you all have to order bottles too. We're going to run this tab until someone loses their job.
[2:19][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Why not just a maximum advance on chips then?
[2:19][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Also a good idea. They owe me for that cute chantry roulette girl.
[2:20][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:**after a moment** =^=Felisar here..is this thing on? ...can you hear me?=^
[2:20][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Because I don't give a fuck about gambling, but I do like alcohol.
[2:20][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Yes i can hear you doctor.
[2:21][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "We had a run in with some Kzari suits, the Zomklots, are you familiar?
[2:21][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"I personally am not holding much against them. Its sort of to be expected in a port like this. As long as the ferengi are not using my image from when I was changing, I don't have harsh thoughts
[2:21][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Forgiveness is divine afterall.
[2:21][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"The ferengi are free to have this gorgeous body.
[2:21][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Felisar] =^=..the zomklots...oh that isn't good. Did they mention me?=^
[2:22][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...This came out wrong.
[2:22][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:*laugh
[2:23][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:*Entering notes into her PADD for later reports as she orders some refreshments.
[2:23][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "They didn't mention you...do you know them?
[2:24][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Felisar] =^=They are well...i guess one would say competitors of mine.=^
[2:25][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Felisar] =^=Whatever you do don't tell them anything...especially about the ruins..=^
[2:25][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "We were not planning on it doctor.
[2:25][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Probably shouldn't be discussing that over coms.
[2:26][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **rubbed the bridge of her nose.*
[2:27][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "yeah doctor lets save this conversation for in person, in a more secure location.
[2:27][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"We do not know what is secure." *He lowered his voice.* "Our benefactor's club has music and dancers, but the tables in the corner could work.
[2:27][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Enough background noise to cover us.
[2:28][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She shrugged.* "You all enjoy that. I'm going to go crack open a bottle of ultra-quality Beryxian creme liqueur.
[2:29][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Ferengi can hear a mouse fart three rooms away. A sonic frequency generator program on the padd should be enough to defeat that.
[2:31][DOIC2]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "..Lilli has the right idea, lets act naturally here. Just head back to your rooms and get some rest. We will head to the spaceport in the morning, just like the plan.
[2:31][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Will do. And I'm definitely getting good booze, myself.
[2:31][DOIC2]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Good night, people.
[2:31][DOIC2]Draganov@Gonz.:"Alright, but I was going to find the dance floor for a while.
[2:32][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Indeed. Until the morrow." *She turned and departed.
