[9:10][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:**Star Trek: Stardancer "Once upon a Comet..."*
[9:11][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:Stardate : 2455073.38500
[9:11][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve began her log as finishe dputing her uniform on
[9:12][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Science officers log, stardate 2455073.385000, today is another bridge training for the Cadets. I've decided to let Kodor be in charge. I detected a comet on long range sensors last night and the
[9:13][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:captain has given the goahead for an investigation of it to be handled by the cadets. Commander Bessely will be monitoring form the science lab but otherwise the cadets are alone today outside of me.
[9:13][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Should be an easy one, end log.
[9:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve entered the bridge and headed over to her station
[9:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I see no one overslept.
[9:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Not for lack of trying.
[9:14][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We have been cadets long enough to at least have -that- part down.
[9:14][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Beeep bep beep* "All seems in readiness Ensign
[9:14][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **checked the ship's flight status as she made sure the console was organized jsut the way she wanted it.*
[9:15][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Some of us at least Hedi.
[9:15][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Well lets see whats out there. You have the bridge from now on Kodor.
[9:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik ran tactical sensors while eyeing all the cool "FIRE" buttons and struggling against the intrusive thoughts.
[9:15][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Or well im cheating a little. Zarina im sending you some cooardinates.
[9:16][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Acknowledged.
[9:16][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*Checked the Stardancer's MSD for the thousandth time
[9:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Captain Kodor, i have detected a very interesting comet about 2 million kilometers away to our 70 starboard.
[9:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*tauri saw a smudge on it
[9:16][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*some sort of dark substance
[9:17][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:How close would we need to get for science to get a good look at that very interesting comet.
[9:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"What are your orders?
[9:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Long range scanners have it now but if we really wanted to get any samples we... hmm thats odd.
[9:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "You're supposed to say, 'Interesting how?' Or something to that effect.
[9:17][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*reached up to rub at the smudge
[9:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*her finger now was covered in the brown substance
[9:17][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:What's odd
[9:18][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*sniffed her finger
[9:18][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"The comet isn't on the same course its varied
[9:18][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Uhhh... captain? We got weapons discharge near the comet.
[9:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Trying to identify the exact -type- of weaponry to get an idea of who may be shooting.
[9:19][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:So we're not alone here then? Can we try and identify
[9:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Low-yield stuff. Like a human-built ship of the 22nd century would have.
[9:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Neat, comet fight.
[9:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I'd most closely identify it as a phase cannon.
[9:19][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"unless it is not a comet
[9:19][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*licks her finger
[9:20][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"We'll need to get closer to get anything better, the comet is masking anything thats there.
[9:20][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"There are historical records of comet like generational transit ships.
[9:20][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She looked at the orion.* "Not on the bridge." *She then turned to Tavi and nodded.
[9:20][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Helm move us in closer if you could please.. Carefully.
[9:20][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "engaging careful intercept course to comet.
[9:21][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*wipes her finger dry on her pants and looks over at Hedwik* What? It's chocolate
[9:21][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"...Oh. I thought you were indulging an oral fixation. Nevermind.
[9:21][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Tac keep focused please
[9:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Yeah, tac.
[9:22][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked back at Tairi then
[9:22][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I can do a few things at once, I assure you.
[9:22][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*smiles sweetly at Hedwik and goes back to her own console
[9:22][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the stardancer changed course and sped toward the target
[9:22][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She had the scanners working to get more data as they get closer.
[9:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Getting a better picture now.
[9:23][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Puting it on screen
[9:23][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he faced forward again at the viewscreen
[9:24][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Shields stand ready for activation.
[9:24][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the Viewscreen showed a comet or atleast somethign that looked like a comet being shot a few times by a smaller vessel chasing it. The ship chasing it looked angular with 2 nacelles attached
[9:24][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "interesting.
[9:24][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:to pylons jutting off a triangular center hull. It had two large hooks in front of that hull that looked like they could grab something
[9:25][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Are they trying to stop the comet and board it?" *She hummed curiously as she gave both the ships soem more scanny scans.
[9:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Huh. Comet hunters? But why the hell are they shooting it?
[9:25][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I am trying to gauge their capabilities... as well as if the comet -is- a comet.
[9:25][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Perhaps they are harvesting from it, attempting to blast off a section for retrieval.
[9:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"These readings aren't making sense.
[9:26][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Why not?" *She looked to Maeve.
[9:26][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*Adjusts power allocation slightly
[9:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "I always did think comets looked like giant space tadpoles.
[9:26][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Something tells me it's not a comet.. *he nodded to Maeve
[9:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"You would be right Captain.
[9:27][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"The Comet is not one entity its thousands... maybe even a million.
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Space... jellyfish?
[9:27][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:...Like a huge school of.. fish
[9:27][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "The comet is adjusting course again. Therefore it must have some form of propulsion.
[9:28][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Recording the comet scans for her reporting and independant analysis
[9:28][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Cosmoszoans.
[9:28][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as they clsoed the comet became apaprent that it was 1000s of cosmozoans all "swimign through space" Each fire was stunning one that fell behind slightly
[9:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It is a cosmozoan, then? Or... many?
[9:28][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Alot of them.
[9:28][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Well, this seems... barbaric. Poor little things.
[9:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Maybe it's an invasive species and they have to be hunted. We just don't know.
[9:29][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Surely there is a -much- more efficient way.
[9:29][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Or maybe they're peaceful
[9:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Not if all your ships got eaten by space jellies. But we could probably clear this up.
[9:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "You could always try asking the hunters.
[9:30][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Very High Frequency transmission coming in, filtering it through the UT now.
[9:30][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Hedi can you scan around to see if that's the only ship nearby.. No mothership nearby
[9:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Or I guess someone's gonna tell us instead.
[9:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*UT finds a match actually.
[9:30][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I've egot scans running, Captain. If I get something you'll know.
[9:30][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Play it when it's ready please
[9:31][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"On speakers... uh, it reports as humpback whalesong.
[9:31][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Cousins to those cosmozoans from long ago? The ones we studied in the academy?
[9:32][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the raw singnal was a rumble at a high pitch which then translated
[9:32][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Piping it to cetation ops for interpretation
[9:32][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Singal] Help us
[9:32][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It is a distress call from the cosmozoans.
[9:33][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked to Maeve for a brief moment
[9:33][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"What are your orders Kodor?
[9:33][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priti] Well thats a curve ball... *She said to blaine passing the popcorn
[9:33][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Hail the aggressors... sir?
[9:34][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Let's see if we can buy them some time then.. Tavi could you hail them for me
[9:34][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Seeing their ship's weapons.. we could steamroll them easily. But that is not the federation way.
[9:34][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Hailing
[9:34][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*a few moemnts later an image appeared on the screen
[9:35][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*The face greeting them was perhaps male, with a llong nose that was almsot trunk like and grey green skin, it had two black eyes that were smaller than human standards, it was wearing some sort o
[9:35][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Whalers are on screen sir.
[9:35][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:uniform. And had several other sof it sspecies around a bridge that looked almsot run down
[9:36][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[ALien Captain] Do you understand us... We program your interlact codes from your hail.
[9:36][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He took the popcorn and passed over a beer.* "How long do you think it'll be before they call us in a panic?
[9:36][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:We understand you.. Can you hear us as well
[9:36][DOIC2]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Priti] I think they will surprise you this time
[9:37][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Here's hoping.
[9:37][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Alien Captian] We can., I am captain Pa'lok of the Jentar Materiels Consortium.
[9:38][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She purses her lips the shortest moment as she hears "materials consortium".
[9:39][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Pleasure to meet you Captain, my name is Vrajen Kodor of the USS Stardancer.. Uhm.. whatcha doing
[9:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He seemed more interested in checking out the aliens in the background than the discussion at hand.
[9:39][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*they were all elephant men
[9:40][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Sending the VHF frequency and interspecies translation codes to their coms officer, captain, so they can understand each other as well.
[9:40][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] We are harvesting. The Hrial Swarm is our claim. though are plenty fo them if you wish to wait yrou turn.
[9:40][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*one of the officers in the background laughed
[9:41][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Palok] *turned to it* Oh haha you will have to excuse my comms officer. It seems your officer was tricked by the siren calls of the Hrial
[9:42][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he tapped out a message on his arm rest and quickly sent it off before looking back up* Oh interesting.. Hrial Swarm you say
[9:43][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi runs a filtered inventory report looking for trade goods for the 'captain'.
[9:44][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Yes. They are interesting creatures. But no different than any other game. Their fat can be turned into a highly conducted biogel that can be used to power ship systems or refined for medica
[9:44][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:purposes
[9:44][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:And you harvest these swarms... very regularly
[9:45][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Oh yes. A swarm such as this can take years to harvest
[9:45][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Usually they are much smaller. We have called in several of our harvest fleets. But they are all many months out.
[9:45][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:With a ship as small as yours?
[9:45][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Ah, I see
[9:45][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] We have much larger ships. *he seemd slihglty annoyed
[9:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He turned away from the viewscreen to smirk.
[9:46][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik raised an eyebrow.
[9:48][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he slowly nodded* Right.. My apologies.. Anyways, what'll it take for you to give up your claim on the swarm
[9:48][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] *laughed
[9:48][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Your ship. Probably
[9:49][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **laughed*
[9:49][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Look I can look the other way and share the swarm once we've got our initial. Consortium won't notice a few others. But the amount here has never been seen in our lifetimes.
[9:50][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi does a side channel on VHF to attempt to open two way communication with the hrial swarm
[9:50][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:I'd have given the same answer if I'm being honest.. But here is what I am proposing, a trade.. We can both take time to compile up a list
[9:50][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Captain, we are receiving a more detailed request for aid from the 'hrial'.
[9:50][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Sure commerce is our way, We will prepare something
[9:50][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*On a whim, tasks the computer with poking at the other ship's computer just to see what happens
[9:50][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Be careful of the sirens. They lure many ships to their doom with suicidal empathy
[9:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Dude, not when he's on a comm...
[9:51][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the comm cut
[9:51][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he nodded and then turned around
[9:51][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Captain? Not to be a nuisance... but it would be good to know more of this "Siren song" he mentioned.
[9:52][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"You never know what could be dangerous in this part of the galaxy.
[9:52][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Tavi
[9:52][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"They have requested aid again, identifying us as an Earth Ship
[9:53][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:They know of earth
[9:53][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*she plays the request * "help us please... please... earth ship... please....
[9:53][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"That, or they have some form of group telepathy.
[9:53][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Since many of us are not from Earth, I doubt the telepahty angle.
[9:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"That's interesting.
[9:54][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Do we have anything in the database about this Swarm
[9:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"No its new to us. But the hail does match the Whale Probe of the 23rd century incidennt
[9:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Maybe a cousin species?
[9:54][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi runs the DB request to Cetatian ops as well, to ask them if they have knowledge of the swarm
[9:55][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Interesting.
[9:55][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik meanwhile scanny scanned the swarm itself, trying to figure out if it has any capabalities for offence that they hide until they lure sailors away.
[9:55][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "obviously much less powerful that the whale probe, or they would simply have disable their attackers.
[9:56][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:They are technically poachers as well.. All they care about is profit
[9:56][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Science, you are the one who knows this kind of stuff... What can you tell about their biology? Are they electrophages?
[9:56][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Helm we are close enough for science to get accurate readings, yes
[9:56][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It is their way of life for generations, it has historical analogs
[9:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"No they look liek big cetaceans.
[9:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Filter feeders it looks like.
[9:57][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she pushed a button
[9:57][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*on the screen a large one shows up, 4 fin like appendages along th ebody and a tail like structure that seemed to propell them through space
[9:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Cute little feller.
[9:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Like a space whale-puppy.
[9:58][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Tairi, could you alert the gang down below that we might be using the industrial replicators soon
[9:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Are you thinking what I am, captain
[9:59][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Uhh, sure. Any particular patterns you want them to load
[9:59][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:I'm not a mind reader Hedi.
[9:59][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*to Tairi* i
[9:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Scanning their biology and replicating that fatty tissue those guys want.
[9:59][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:I'm still waiting for their list of demands
[10:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"They are between 60-100m long at fullg rown it looks like 10-50 for juveniles
[10:00][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Give them what they want without harming the cosmozoans.
[10:00][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **checks the ship's location*
[10:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I don't think we can.
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Oh... I was thinking we make mines that look like them and let them harvest that instead.
[10:00][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:'No?
[10:00][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*nods and sends a message to prep the replicators
[10:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I am getting a read on their internals.
[10:00][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She chuckled at Zeke.* "I actually like that idea more. Good job, Zeke.
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] 'But what do I know, I'm not on tac tonight.
[10:00][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Thats...
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] *He shot her finger guns.
[10:00][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:I would very much like to not fire a single phaser if that's alright with everyone.
[10:00][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Mines are not phasers, captain.
[10:01][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*sighs
[10:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Their fats form bio-mimetic gel.
[10:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"it can't be replicated.
[10:01][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Any message to give to the hrial?
[10:01][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:They don't really have much that can hurt us, although their torpedoes are a lot stronger than I would expect given the other tech they're using
[10:01][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded to Maeve.
[10:01][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"There is more in one of these whales than a federation meterials lab produces in a year. for the entire medical division of starfleet.
[10:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "But they're so cute.
[10:02][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Athena. That -is- impressive.
[10:02][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"But this level of neuralogical structure... they have to be sentient.
[10:02][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Wouldn't the call for help be a more obvious indicator
[10:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "I was gonna say...
[10:03][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It would make sense that their society developed into using the biogel for resource, if they are that resource dense.
[10:03][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Some non sentient avian species have learned to mimic calls.
[10:03][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I would suggest to attempt actual dialog, sir.
[10:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "I mean, if they went through all the effort, gotta give them credit at least.
[10:04][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the Whaling ship manages to clip one of the whales which falls out of formation and is then skeweard in its hooks
[10:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Hey! Not cool.
[10:04][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the herd continues on
[10:04][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:This feels a lot like those Malon people. The guys who were dumping their warp core exhaust into a hole
[10:05][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I do not like it, but I definitely cannot fault them if these creatures produce that much useful material.
[10:05][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Oh so they're going that route.
[10:05][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"They are continuing with their mission, yes.
[10:06][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Actual dialogue you said, right Tavi
[10:06][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Yes sir, I did. Channel is available.
[10:07][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"But will not be secure.
[10:08][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*pokes at her console* Huh.... uh huh.... ohhh, that's why
[10:09][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked at Tairi* What is it
[10:09][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:huh? Oh, I told the computer to try hacking in, but all their systems are independent from each other. I could maybe turn their comms array on and off, but that's about it
[10:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"you know tairi for future reference thats an act of agression
[10:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Don't do it unless ordered.
[10:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Or you're totally sure you can get away with it.
[10:10][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Not helping.
[10:10][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*clears her throat and looks disapproving
[10:10][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*shrugs* Didn't work anyway
[10:11][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Hedi, keep a close eye on them.. Tavi open a channel with the Swarm for me please
[10:12][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Channel open,
[10:12][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded to Vrajen as if to say she's lookin'.
[10:13][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Hrial] Help Us Earth SHi
[10:13][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Hello? Can you hear m-- How can we help
[10:14][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Hriail] we Understand... we cannot flee... they are to fast... please make them leave
[10:15][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i recommend we place the Stardancer in between the swarm and the hunters.
[10:15][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:We'll do our very best to help.. Sorry for all that is happening.
[10:16][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:They did say that they are alone and it would take months for their nearest ships to arrive
[10:16][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Correct.
[10:16][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Suggestions
[10:17][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"It seems we have a defensiely species and an aggressive one.
[10:17][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Teach the hrial tactics to defend themselves. Surely their mass could damage the agressor's nacelle structure
[10:18][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:That's not a bad idea.
[10:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Give a fish a fish... wait...
[10:18][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We could be cutting off an entire society from its pwoer source, tohugh."
[10:18][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I have paused the channel during our discussions
[10:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"We could be effectively limiting them to their homeworld.
[10:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "That power source comes from sentient beings. They need to learn to adapt.
[10:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Maybe more than one species, if others harvest these beings too.
[10:19][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Would you sacrifice yourself so another species could travel through space
[10:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Of course not. I am merely reminding of the implications our actions may have.
[10:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Begin Operation: Give Nukes To The Whales.
[10:20][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:They're also asking us for help.
[10:20][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"What if we do what the vulcans did?
[10:20][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "More likily if denied the resources from the cosmoszoans they would develope other technology to repalce what they lost.
[10:20][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Tell the underdeveloped species some of the secrets of space travel?
[10:21][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Oh, I thought you were going to say "Abandon emotion and exile the ones who refused to do so.
[10:21][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Give them a basic understanding of how they can function without the resource from the cosmozoans?
[10:21][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"It would not be breaking the prime directive, since they are already in space.
[10:21][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Great dangers in sharing such technologies, but this does appear to be a first contact situation with both species.
[10:22][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:This is their way of life.. who's to say they'd just.. stop hurting these swarms.
[10:22][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"There are dangers, so i am not saying Vrajen should do it. But if we open proper diplomatic channels...
[10:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Tairi hwo are they using it?
[10:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"The oil for lack of a better word?
[10:23][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:It looks like they store it in giant vats, and power their ships off the excess? And maybe also use it for their torpedoes
[10:24][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "powering it how?
[10:24][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Like organic batteries
[10:25][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Are the hrial able to discharge their bio-energy at will do you think? They might be able to disable the craft attacking them if they could.
[10:26][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"It seems they have soem sort of gland in their body that converts to energy for prupulsion.
[10:28][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi transmits on the VHF* "Your call is received, analyzing the problem
[10:30][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:I'm thinking we try and give them some way to defend themselves.
[10:30][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She just stared at her readings with disapproval.
[10:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Assuming they want to.
[10:30][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"They could be pacifists
[10:30][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Okay, so I might have been wrong before. They basically use the bio-stuff like we use deuterium and electro-plasma. It's probably closer to an old internal-combustion engine than actual warp engines
[10:30][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"The agressors do in fact convert the biogel into warp and impulse grade energy, they do not use anti-matter conversion.
[10:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Well thats doubel confirmation.
[10:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I guess Tavi paid attention in her engineering classes.
[10:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Expected it of Tairi.
[10:31][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Yes Ensign.
[10:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she teased them both
[10:31][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"How... primitive.
[10:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"It also has an upper limit.
[10:31][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:So we simply give them a few equations.
[10:31][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Refine it to much it be way to unstable.
[10:32][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Ingenious actually, using their resources they developed to it's peak, but it has reached its upper limit.
[10:32][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:I'd say their top speed is maybe warp four, but I'm not sure how long they could stay there
[10:33][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Federation diplomatic envoys could negotiate a trade of technology to save the species.
[10:33][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Consortium ship is hailing again.
[10:34][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he rubbed his chin* Onscreen please.
[10:34][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Tavi.* "That was my idea. Get proper diplomats out here to do it.
[10:35][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Puts the consortium on screen
[10:35][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] AS you can see we have a catch it will take us some time to harvest. You are free to do the same. As for our needs. I have to admit we cannto scan your ship
[10:35][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] My track officer claims you have some sort of shielding
[10:36][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She smirked some.
[10:36][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Perhaps we could invite them to dinner sir?
[10:36][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Our species cannot go on others ships
[10:36][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Taboo to our relgiion
[10:37][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked at Tavi a moment* Yes but maybe we could meet someplace neutral
[10:37][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] We are now doign so
[10:38][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Nothing is more neutral than the expanse. What woudl you seek in trade for star maps to this region of space. We assume your species have not been out this far
[10:39][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Our demand is merely for you to refrain from.. harvesting.. But from discussions on my end here, that would be.. difficult for you
[10:39][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Is this correct
[10:40][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Why? But yes it would be our entire ship runs on the Oil.
[10:40][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] ARe you saying you do not rely on the oil?
[10:41][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:We do not rely on oil
[10:41][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] How is this possible
[10:43][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he sighed* Well.. that would require lengthy conversations.. and time.. Would you be willing to meet with diplomatic envoys
[10:43][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] I could put in a request for a consortium negotiator but it owuld take some time to get here. Why exactly would i do that
[10:43][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] I could put in a request for a consortium negotiator but it owuld take some time to get here. Why exactly would i do that
[10:45][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Well you'd have a more efficient power supply..for starters
[10:45][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] I would need to see this supply
[10:46][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"May I suggest sir, we perform a warp speed demonstration? perhaps expand our warp field to include their ship and show them how fast they could travel with our tech?
[10:46][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **raises and eyebrow.*
[10:46][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] And are you telling me the price of this captain woudl be for us to abandon our entire economy?
[10:47][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Right, everyone sure does love going faster.
[10:47][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] We provide the oil to fifteen worlds
[10:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "Gotta go fast. Sir.
[10:47][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] We will watch a demonstration though
[10:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "We can do it without holding the handlebars, too.
[10:48][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he stopped* Well that sounds lovely.
[10:50][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] We await your demonstration
[10:50][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*with some morbid effeciency the tagged and prepared corpse of the whale was dislodged
[10:50][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*and the Consooritum ship moved back in for another one
[10:50][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i find it strange that they developed subspace propulsion without apparently the atomic physics that would allow them to develop advanced power systems.
[10:51][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:One moment. *he nodded to Tavi to mute
[10:51][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"That actually isn't crazy Zarina. The need for atomics is only about energy generation if you can get enough from simple combustion you'd never need atomics.
[10:51][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:'Channel Paused sir.
[10:51][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Not all development is parallel. The Dominion had much better weapons and transporters, but they were much slower than Alpha quadrant ships
[10:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "I mean, maybe they did, but once they got up there they encountered the space whales and it was way better than their mark one engines.
[10:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "So, y'know, they stopped developing in that direction.
[10:52][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Assuming the whales were beaching themselves on their planet.
[10:53][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"That is likely how it started, they found a dead one
[10:53][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Alright so what are we doing Captain.
[10:53][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked to Tairi* Depends, can we bring them in for a little ride
[10:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Hmm.
[10:54][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:I don't see why not. Easy enough to bring them inside the warp field, but I'll need to reinforce their structural integrity so they don't fly apart
[10:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she looked at her sensors.
[10:54][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I may have our target too.
[10:54][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:One of their homeworlds
[10:55][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"M'class world 21 lightyears away. Judging from the scans likley their homeworld.
[10:55][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Its along their ships warp trajectory.
[10:55][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"They likely took almost 6 months to get out here from it
[10:55][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It would help them bring their product to market, helping them in a way.
[10:55][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:And get them away from the swarm.
[10:56][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Yes sir.
[10:56][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Here are the coardinates Zarina.
[10:56][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Tairi, get us prepped, I'll get back to talking
[10:57][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Tavi you can unmute now
[10:57][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "setting course for the stated coordinates.
[10:57][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Channel unpaused.
[10:57][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Okay *she goes to work
[10:58][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Captain? We're prepared to demonstrate, but I would kindly ask that you please stick close to us
[10:58][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Suggest that the consortium ship seperate from the swarm so they are not accidentally damaged during the demonstation.
[10:58][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] Bring us along side
[10:59][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*reconfigures the warp field geometry to create an empty pocket big enough to comfortably slot the Consortium ship.
[10:59][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked to Hedi and nodded
[10:59][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] though I am not sure why..
[10:59][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She gives the button a satisfying push.
[10:59][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*Next, she sets the structural integrity field to reinforce both ships' hulls
[11:00][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the Consortium vessel was snared
[11:00][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:How long does it take you to get to your nearest homeworld
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "...Be kind of funny if we just hurled them into a star now that we have them on a rope.
[11:00][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] 8 months fully loaded
[11:01][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi looks for a way to isolate zeke's voice from coms
[11:01][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] What are you doing to our ship...
[11:01][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **looks back for orders.*
[11:01][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] My navigator reports we no longer have control..
[11:01][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:We're securing you along with us.. We intend to take you on a trip with us.
[11:01][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"For proof
[11:02][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:I assure you we will give control right back after our demonstration is over
[11:02][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Pa'lok] I am... trusting you captian
[11:02][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*Slightly adjusts the power output to the nacelles to compensate for the shift in field geometry
[11:02][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Thank you very much.. It will be quick. *he looked at the others to see if they were ready
[11:03][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*maeve nodded
[11:03][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*nods to Vrajen
[11:03][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Course is laid in and ready to engage.
[11:03][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Nods.
[11:03][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vraj thought long and hard for a second* Uh.. helm engage
[11:04][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **engages*
[11:04][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*The stardancer and the Consortium ship zip away at warp 9.
[11:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Aaaaaand that's my seat, Cadet." *He strolled in.
[11:04][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*and then the veiwscreen shows a Comet
[11:04][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he was standing* Sorry sir
[11:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Scenario complete.
[11:04][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Captain.
[11:05][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*Mehta follows in after Blaine
[11:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He chuckled.* "No need, Cadet. You did well, damned impressive even.
[11:05][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **turns and looks at the captain hoping to assess his mood.*
[11:05][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] Well done Cadet. Won me a very nice bottle of bourbon
[11:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Even if Larris almost dicked it with the 'fling them into a star' thing.
[11:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zeke] "My Romulan side won there, sir.
[11:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He squinted.* "...Right.
[11:06][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he nodded
[11:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "In any case, scenario is complete. Anyone have thoughts to share about it?
[11:07][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*stared ad her console, doing her best to avoid Blaine's gaze
[11:07][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i am getting the hang of these helm controls. remarkably intuitive.
[11:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] I do want to say first. That it is not easy to not simply wield overwelming power against an inferior species
[11:07][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Yes sir, is there a way to isolate the coms to just the captain's voice during a contact?
[11:07][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:[Mehta] Your restraint was well demonstrated
[11:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Thankfully, yes. Talk to Shay about that later.
[11:08][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:[Shay steps through the door] "Yes cadet. I'll show you how.
[11:08][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he nodded* Thank you ma'am
[11:08][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Huh... that is interesting.
[11:08][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*she said looking at the comet
[11:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "...Yes. Right. Restraint is a good thing, even if it's very tempting to just turn on the guns and tell them to start running.
[11:09][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Wait the cosmozoans were not real?" **sounds disappointed.*
[11:09][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:[Shay] *Standing next to Tavi she hmms* "Captain, we are receiving a hail.
[11:10][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"its coming from the comet...
[11:10][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he quickly stepped to the side to allow Blaine to do so
[11:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Seriously? Let's hear it.
[11:10][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:[Shay] *She puts it on screen
[11:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He went to stand in the designated captain spot.
[11:11][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*an image of a crystal appears on the screen
[11:11][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*it glows with purples and blues
[11:11][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*an ethereal voice speaks
[11:12][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Greetings We apologize for observing without announcing ourselves but it seemed as though you were training your cadets. and we did not wish to interupt.
[11:12][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I swear this isn't me playing a joke.
[11:12][DOIC6]Antony@Gonz.:[Shay] "It is authentic sir.
[11:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Well, that was very thoughtful of you. To whom am I speaking?
[11:12][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:[Shay] "It is authentic sir.
[11:13][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*it is also isolated to Blaine
[11:13][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"We do not have designatiosn the way that you do. But you may call me Amythyst.
[11:13][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"We recieved your interlact codes from your simulation.
[11:13][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked back at Hedi again
[11:14][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"And observed. It is impressive that you did not resort to violence. It perhaps is our most unique contact.
[11:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Let's go with Amy to keep it simple. I'm Captain Marcus Blaine of the U.S.S. Stardancer, but I imagine you already knew that.
[11:14][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"We did we interfaced with your computer system as we often do.
[11:14][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Normally our presence is never detected by a younger species.
[11:14][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"And most species we find not worthy of interaction.
[11:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "We try to keep violence as our last resort. And we also have a way of catching the attentions of the elder species. Still, we're honored by your contact.
[11:15][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"We have been trapped here for many of your millenia. And only recently have been able to resume our path.
[11:16][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Your computers tell us we have your federation and alliance to thank for that.
[11:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "The Black Ocean, I presume. It shrouded this entire region in stasis for about two million years, give or take.
[11:16][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:[Shay] "it would seem they were aware of being frozen in the black ocean.
[11:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "But yes... you could say we helped with that.
[11:16][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Stasis. yes Unfortunately we were concious.
[11:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "You have my sympathies. That can't have been easy.
[11:17][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:[Tavi] "Like John Spartan
[11:17][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"No" *the crystal flickered leaving it as a one word response
[11:17][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Still we are about to leave. We had generated the energy but were intrigued by your intercept course. Why did you intercept our ship?
[11:18][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"They must mean the comet... is a ship...
[11:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "We have a fascination with the new, exotic and wondrous.
[11:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Sometimes it gets us in trouble. Sometimes it leads to encounters like this.
[11:19][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"So merely for exploration and curiosities?
[11:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "You could say that's most of the reason we're here and not back home on our own planets.
[11:20][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Interesting. Well then I leave you an unfortunate warning then captain. We are not the only things waking up here. Tread carefully for most places you may look will great you only with darkness.
[11:21][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Dad im detecting... massive buildup of particles our computer can't even classify.
[11:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Consider us warned. But don't be too concerned, some of us aren't strangers to the darkness.
[11:21][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"Unfortunate for them...
[11:22][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*the comet flickered out of existence right before their eyes. Like a small planet disapeareing
[11:22][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*and it was just gone
[11:22][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Impressive.
[11:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He smirked.* "And off they go.
[11:22][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"The comet is gone... i think Teseracted...
[11:22][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"That was quite lovely.
[11:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Good for them. Suppose there isn't much more left for us here, then.
[11:23][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Wow... *he blinked at the viewscreen
[11:24][DOIC1]Tolena@Captain_Rien:"I've got a lot of data to go through.
[11:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "Mh. Right. Cadet Dyrellia?
[11:25][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Aye captain?
[11:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] *He stepped up behind the helm console, squinted at the viewscreen for a moment, then pointed.* "That star. Aim us there and engage.
[11:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Blaine] "I have a good feeling about that one.
[11:26][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I am pleased we made a good impression.
[11:26][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **looked at teh screen a moment, squinting a bit** "aye aye sir, plotting a course to...that star.
[11:26][DOIC]Tolena@Captain_Rien:*as the Stardancer lept to warp the credits rolled
[11:26][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:[Shay] *Shay smiles at the cadets, loking proud
[11:27][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik watched Blaine's astrogation methodology with a slight amusement.
