Adagio 2025/03/30[]
[3:29][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:The titles play and the theme music is back to the normal Adagio theme. The scene fades in on Starbase 220, with the Lady A parked in orbit around the station. Looking as lovely and graceful as ever.
[3:31][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:The camera moves in on the huge panoramic windows outside of the stations lounge. it pans in toward the bar where our heroes are enjoying their weekend leave with some drinks and comradery.
[3:32][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] **raises her mug of ale** "Here is to our great targ hunters. You all did a fantastic job, natural born diplomats and hunters.
[3:33][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Hey Dru.
[3:33][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek grinned and raised his glass of whiskey.* "Well, thank you. Not bad for my first and last time targ hunting, I suppose. Only ones who got a spear stuck inside the targ were me and the hirogen.
[3:33][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*raised his beer
[3:33][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili had elected to place herself on the couch by the window, watching the ships drifting past the station as she worked on a silvery cocktail.
[3:33][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Touching Campbell on the arm as she approached the bar* "Hello, was I supposed to be dressed formal for some reason?
[3:34][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Nae i just... had a call with My Ma and Da and an admiral before this.
[3:34][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Not that i know of, you guys are on some much deserved leave. Enjoy yourselves.
[3:34][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Naa, he is the one that is overdressed" raises her glass for a moment before having a drink "which admiral?
[3:35][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek grinned to Adama.* "Your mother and father would be very disappointed their son missed a chance to show off his skills in a targ hunt.
[3:35][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "yeah, always a good idea to dress up for a call or meeting with an admiral.
[3:36][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Makes sense, I'd buy you a drink Conor, but I guess you are stuck with synth in uniform.
[3:37][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Peebs there and I had to wear that uniform daily for years, being on an admiral's staff
[3:38][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Hunting targs is nothing like Lhujk hunting. Plus I was doing my part in boozing it up. *Adama nodded to Telek before doing a shot of Etrynarian spiced rum.
[3:38][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Don't remind me. The collar itches, they must make it out of poison ivy or something
[3:39][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Surprised the admiral was willing to let you go back to the Adagio, did not think she would with how good you are at your job
[3:39][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Well there is a wee fix for that.
[3:39][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:*he took his jacket off
[3:39][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*To the bartender* "What have you got in the way of single malt scotch?
[3:40][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, sure, sure. I would hate to think you were -scared- of the targ." *He grinned at Adama and took another sip of his whiskey.
[3:40][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "unfortunately the admiral had little say in it, the assignments came from higher you. She was not real happy about it.
[3:42][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:**higher u
[3:43][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Fuuuuck you Telek. *he smirked at telek* Anyways, only you and the other ugly fekker were successful from our side in hunting
[3:43][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"So... how did things go with the Klingons?
[3:44][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"We all scored some hits, I think. I got grazed slightly, but got my spear stuck good and deep. But yeah, the hirogen got the honor of the killing blow.
[3:44][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Higher ups, huh, cool
[3:44][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"A lovely hunt, drinking and feasting
[3:45][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:As the team enjoys their evening suddenly the bar's lights flicker and dim momentarily. Suddenly, standing behind the bar is Nick the Travynei trickster
[3:45][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Hmm... mmh.. What's his name anyway
[3:46][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Oh, hey there. Fancy meeting you all here. I hope you are having a pleasant evening.
[3:46][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Oh, hey there. Fancy meeting you all here. I hope you are having a pleasant evening.
[3:46][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Evening." *Telek seemed unperturbed.* "You caught us on a day off.
[3:47][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "So they do give you days off.
[3:47][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He then shrugged at Adama.* "...Jaguar, I think?
[3:47][DOIC2]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She glanced briefly at the bar, arching a brow but remaining where she was as she observed from afar.
[3:47][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Get the behind me." *Dru takes here drink and turned her back.
[3:47][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Something with J." *He then turned back to Nick.* "Of course. Exhaustion is counter-productive.
[3:47][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Hello, Nick, it was Nick right? been a while
[3:48][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Oh don't be like that Dru, kiddo, you know you are one of my favorites. Besides i am, as always, here to help.
[3:49][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Speaking of which, now that you have had some time to look into the map crystal i bet you all have many many questions.
[3:49][DOIC1]Adama@n7pathfinder#397:Jaaaaaaggggg *Adama's inner Clarkson showing a moment* Hmm. *Adama takes a sip of his Bursali ale he kept on the side
[3:50][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Of course we do. But I don't think we can ask them here. It's all pretty classified, and this isn't really a... secure place.
[3:51][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "That is no problem.
[3:51][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Nick snaps his finger and suddenly the bar is empty save for the team
[3:51][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Well lets hope we are the ones who moved.
[3:52][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"...Definitely not what I meant... where are the others?
[3:52][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"The cornfield, I imagine," *Lili sighed as she finally made her way over.
[3:52][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **shrugs** "They wont even notice anything happened.
[3:53][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "You know, i have an idea. Let's make a game out of this. A little drinking game.
[3:53][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I'm not certain that would be particularly fair against an entity of your constitution.
[3:54][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"That's what makes it fun. Deal, I'm in.
[3:54][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Oh you wont be competing against me, that wouldn't be fair. You will be competing with yourself.
[3:54][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Deep.
[3:54][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"If I'm going to deal with this, I need to be." *She drinks her scotch instead of holding it.
[3:55][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "For each round you last you get another question that i must answer truthfully and to the best of my knowledge.
[3:56][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Looking to the commander, Dru does not answer
[3:56][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"If you do not know the answer, however, we can ask another question. But if you do not know the answer to that either, we will have to drink. How about that?
[3:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, shit. Are we allowed to confer amongst ourselves which question is best asked?
[3:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "i suppose so, seems fair enough.
[3:57][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Very well. Any other terms?
[3:58][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "So i at least can assume some of you are game?
[3:58][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "I'm in...i am Irish i can't pass up a good drinking game.
[3:58][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"what will the alcohol be?
[3:58][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"It's my days off, of course I am taking part in a drinking game against an advanced being in exchange for information.
[3:58][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She gave an almost diabolical smile.* "I'm in. Tanausans cannot pass up a good drinking game, either.
[3:59][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **points at Carina** "that is a good question,
[3:59][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "i have a special treat.
[4:00][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Don't tell me you brought us a bottle of Travynei tequila.
[4:00][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Nick produces a fancy crystalline bottle of a dark red colored liquid from under the bar
[4:00][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"With how few travynei are left in the regions of space we know of, I'm all down for travynei booze.
[4:01][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "in a manner of speaking Liliath, i have.
[4:01][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Commander?
[4:01][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She arched a brow.
[4:01][DOIC1]Campbell@Captain_Rien:"Shall we just nto ask what its made of?
[4:02][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I won't ask if you don't ask."
[4:02][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "This is Xal'korr Erythuum, a traditional Travvynai beverage.
[4:02][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"If the legends have any truth to them, it would be for the best.
[4:02][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Yeah?
[4:03][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "its not poisonous is it?
[4:03][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Asking what it is made of is a good idea
[4:04][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:looks at Dr
[4:04][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"More asking if you approve of this activity.
[4:04][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "oh heavens no. Nothing ...dangerous here. It can have some rather unpredictable side effects however.
[4:05][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Nothing permanent, I assume?
[4:05][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"We have leave, we are not on duty, might be fun, but I would ask that we be allowed to record the information we get since, some might not be able to remember it.
[4:05][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:it
[4:05][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "But you have my word, you wont come to any harm.
[4:05][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "its all in the spirit of good natured fun.
[4:06][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She shrugged.* "Pour it for me. I'm in.
[4:06][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Hell yeah, I'm in.
[4:06][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Nick produces enough shot glasses for each participant and begins pouring
[4:07][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"So how is this game to be played, then?" *She inquired, picking up the shot glass to examine the liquid curiously.
[4:08][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"As the ranking officer gives her go ahead... I will. My father would be furious, but my mother is often at odds with his religious dogma.
[4:08][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Her eye roll was almost audible.
[4:09][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Hey, Nick... -very- weird question. Do you play a fiddle?
[4:09][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "the rules are simple, you take a drink and for each round you are able to last you get a question. I may throw a few riddles in there to test your mental acuity.
[4:09][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"I could not approve of this if we were on duty
[4:09][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"That's fair.
[4:09][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek did not even wait for the official go-ahead and downed his shot, too curious to see what travynei booze is like.
[4:10][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Do i play the fiddle. Let me tell you boy i am one of the greatest fiddle players.
[4:10][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili downed hers simultaneously.
[4:10][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru is trepidatious, sniffing, tasting the smallest sip and looking it with the glass held up to the light.
[4:11][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:anyone who downed the shot give me a mind roll
[4:11][Emotes]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:rolls 97 (1-100
[4:11][Emotes]Liliath Var@liorexu:rolls 22 (1-100
[4:11][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:looks at her drink shrugs and drinks i
[4:12][Emotes]Carina Winther@awendr:rolls 49 (1-100
[4:12][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*If it is not too foul, Dru drinks it slowly, if it is horrid, she throws it back trying to avoid the tongue.
[4:12][Emotes]Draganov@Gonz.:rolls 24 (1-100
[4:12][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:(30
[4:13][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Telek fees a very pleasant sense of euphoria. Liliath also feels the same warm pleasant feeling, but additionally she feels light as a feather. In fact she bgins floating up off the ground slightly
[4:13][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Wh--" *She looked down in disbelief, seeing her toes hovering a few inches off the ground.
[4:14][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Carina feels a warm pleasant sense of euphoria
[4:14][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek whooped and laughed happily as he saw Lili float.
[4:15][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"This is a very interesting sensation
[4:15][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She grinned at Telek.* "Well that was unexpected." *She tried to make herself go higher by straightening out.
[4:16][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Liliath Var flaps her arms a little and floats up a foot or two but doesn't seem to be able to go any higher
[4:16][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"This is good-ass booze!
[4:17][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "I have always found this Elixir to be quite fun.
[4:17][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Psychotropic
[4:18][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru looks around, closes her eyes from time to time, seeming to try to determine if she can trust her eyes.
[4:18][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "i suppose there is a little bit of a mind altering effect.
[4:18][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Nothing wrong with a bit of fun.
[4:18][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She tried to lean back enough to do a slow flip.
[4:19][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Watch your head Liliath.
[4:19][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"No, I was hoping to bash it open and end this pain now.
[4:19][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Liliath slowly does a flip
[4:20][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She raised her arms triumphantly as the flip was achieved.
[4:20][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Alright, I believe you owe us some answers now, then.
[4:20][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "i think i owe you all a question.
[4:20][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **nods to Liliath.*
[4:21][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Nick - this is not a question aimed towards you.
[4:21][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He looked to Lili.* "How do we determine how we ask our questions? Take turns? Discuss beforehand?
[4:21][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Who would like to go first, then? And mind you, if it's a stupid question that wastes the round we will all judge you harshly.
[4:22][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Well, fuck it, I'll go first. It may be a bit of an obvious question, -but-... -Who- is it that built the gates?
[4:22][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"If I had my say, I would first ask him to honestly state what question should we ask to gain the most pertinent information concerning the portal network that he can give.
[4:24][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"So the most dully efficient option. Why am I not surprised.
[4:25][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "that is an interesting question. An ancient race, known by many names. Aeon'Arith, or as your Doctor Felisar named them the Elsysians.
[4:25][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Yes, but Elysians speak nothing to us. Aeon'arith, though..." *He wrote that down.
[4:25][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"We'll need to cross-reference it with LMC legends.
[4:25][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Certainly not the only names they have been given.
[4:26][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, that was my thought. A race that advanced must have surely left some trace in the legends and lore of those who came after them. Something that may aid us piece together more of the puzzle.
[4:27][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick **looks at Dru** "Did you want to ask me your dully eficient question? or something else?
[4:28][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Yes
[4:30][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Honestly state what question should we ask to gain the most pertainent information concerning the portal network that you can give.
[4:32][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "So Dru, i suppose what you want is for me to point you in the right direction? Any questions along the lines of Where to next? Who else may be looking for the same answers? Perhaps...
[4:32][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "is there a manual for the gate network?
[4:32][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "is that what you were looking for?
[4:33][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Thank you, you see, this is your game I think, so determine if we can even think of the questions that will move us forward. By asking you, we can determine what you think will do just that.
[4:34][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:(to determine
[4:34][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "logical." **nick points to Carina** "Carina dear did you have a question?
[4:35][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Is there a manual for the gate network?
[4:37][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Yes there is.
[4:38][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Well where is it?
[4:39][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **chuckles.** "i am not sure. However, Doctor Felisar knows of some ruins in the former Dark Ocean that may hold the key to that.
[4:40][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I got ya one question better... But first, we gotta drink more.
[4:41][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Who has not received an answer earned yet?" *she asks the group
[4:41][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I think all of us who boozed up got their answers.
[4:43][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:By now Liliath has floated back down to her seat, and while everyone still has warm good feeling it is not as intense as it was
[4:43][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili shrugged.* "Nothing comes to mind at the moment, so what would your question be? I'll just use it.
[4:44][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Where would we find a key to deciphering the Aeon'Arith's written language?
[4:44][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **laughs** "You are as crafty as your ancestors.
[4:44][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"A manual would be useless if we can't read it.
[4:44][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"What he said.
[4:44][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"We do have a knack for using other species' ideas.
[4:46][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Well thought, and said Telek.
[4:46][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "There is no key to deciphering their language. However, i think you will encounter enough samples of the language that your linguists may be able to work something out.
[4:46][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He nodded at Nick.* "Good enough for me.
[4:46][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Oh, suppose that will be my task then. At least I have job security.
[4:47][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"You did anyway
[4:47][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"You already got enough job security. Would look pretty shit on the higher-ups if they kick out starfleet's first tannie.
[4:47][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "You may run across some species in the former black ocean who know more about the language that you or i do.
[4:48][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"And that's where Dr. Felisar's ruins are too... I suppose we gotta go back through Artesia soon enough.
[4:48][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"I'm certain. Going to pour for us again, then, or do you have queries for us now?
[4:48][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Nick pours some another round of drinks and slides them toward the people
[4:49][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek downed the next one with zero hesitation.
[4:49][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru takes her time drinking it, thinking about what to ask.
[4:49][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She did as well.
[4:50][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:once your character downs the drink, give me a roll
[4:50][Emotes]Liliath Var@liorexu:rolls 91 (1-100
[4:50][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:takes the second drink and looks at it for a moment before sliding it down
[4:50][Emotes]Carina Winther@awendr:rolls 5 (1-100
[4:51][Emotes]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:rolls 73 (1-100
[4:51][Emotes]Peebles@Demoncheru:rolls 54 (1-100
[4:52][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*There was a low, pleased rumble emanating from the tanausan, almost like a purr.
[4:53][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Both Telek, Lilliath, and Maggie take the shot like champs and get the warm fuzzies and the feeling of euphoria
[4:53][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:both
[4:53][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He sighs happily.
[4:55][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Are you people sure you have not had this before? I hope they didn't water this stuff down.
[4:55][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Can you guys hear the music, its like Valkeries singing in their pretty voices
[4:55][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"I am just that good, Nick. And no, I can't say I hear music.
[4:55][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:watches her hand mov
[4:56][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **smiles at Carina** "That is just the celestial song dear, nothing to worry about. Consider yourself blessed to hear it.
[4:56][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Next question - you told me we had to seek out species in the former black ocean who know more about the gates' builders. Which species are that?
[4:57][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"This stuff goes to the head, gonna be hard to focus
[4:58][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*Lili swayed pleasantly in place, running her hands absently over the sleeves of each opposite arm.
[5:00][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*Telek seemed to be slightly slinking from one side to the other like a happy snake.
[5:00][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "There are a few, but seek them out at your own risk.
[5:01][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Mmmm... that sounds like not answering the question to me.
[5:01][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Mmmhm. I don't hear names.
[5:01][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*still sipping and thinking, Dru mhmms as well
[5:03][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "But, certainly the Kael'thari a species you will be soon to encounter will have some of the answers you seek contained in their legends.
[5:04][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Kael'thari... interesting.
[5:05][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Once you set foot in the former black ocean, you will make contact with other species who might have information,perhaps with a price.
[5:06][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"As usual...
[5:06][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*A brow arched contemplatively at that.
[5:07][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **takes another drink** "Sorry telling only the truth takes a lot out of me.
[5:07][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"A hard deviation from the norm, I take it?
[5:07][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **nods at that.*
[5:07][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:*She gave an amused chuckle.
[5:08][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*finishing her drink she sets the glass on the the bar.
[5:08][Emotes]Draganov@Gonz.:rolls 25 (1-100
[5:09][DOIC1]Liliath Var@liorexu:"Alright, I've an inquiry. Can the gates be moved? Does the address one must punch in change if so, or is it affixed to the gate itself rather than the location?
[5:10][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru massages her forehead a moment, breathing through the new effects.
[5:11][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Oh sure they can be moved. Once you move them they have to be reset. You just lock the moved control pedestal onto an existing gate and the system does the rest. Easy enough.
[5:13][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "Do you really have magic powers?
[5:14][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **hangs his head** "You are really going to ask me that?
[5:14][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"any sufficiently advanced technology ....
[5:15][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **points at Dru** "Exactly. I admit most of what i do employs technological tricks, not all of which is Travynei in origin.
[5:15][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Carina, roll to see if you can focus to ask a question
[5:15][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru moves back away from Maggie so her tentacles don't molest her...

[5:16][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Would be cool to see the federation advance enough someday to screw with the younger species like this.
[5:16][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:okay Carina is still with us
[5:16][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:“What do you suggest our next destination and goals should be in our exploration of the network? And please be particular with the destination by name and the addressable codes for the network.”
[5:18][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "i do recommend the homeworld of the Kaelthari, its a world in the Black Ocean, Doctor Felisar has the coordinates

[5:19][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "yeah, we are already working on a trip there, its why we rolled out the Lady A.
[5:20][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Nice.
[5:20][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"You are skipping a part of the question... what next goals should be attempted there?
[5:22][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "You don't miss a thing do you. I think your next goal there should be to try and locate the users manual for the gates and learn as much as you can about the Elysiaqns while you have the ..
[5:22][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] opportunity.
[5:23][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"How is it that you know so much about all of this?
[5:25][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "i have been around for a long time, my former employer...the Dark around even longer. While the Travynei are not native to LMC, we have been here a while and seen a lot. I have spent a lo
[5:25][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] ..time researching things.
[5:26][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "another round then?
[5:26][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"Why not?
[5:26][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Nick pours another round of drinks and slides them forward
[5:27][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Maggie] "This stuff is good, but seems kind iof weak.
[5:27][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:takes the drink and downs it

[5:28][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Unsure, but seeing the others so cavalier, she takes her and drinks it, again slowly but only because she likes the taste.
[5:28][Emotes]Draganov@Gonz.:rolls 29 (1-100
[5:30][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Carina and Maggie take their shots like real professionals, Everyoine gets the usual euphoric warm fuzzy feeling. Telek on the other hand gets the side effect where his veins light up in a neon hues
[5:30][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:pulsing with energy
[5:31][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:"..Dude.
[5:31][DOIC1]Telek Liron@bulgariandragon:*He looked at his arms.* "The fuck?
[5:31][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru isn't sure if that is happening or if it is just another hallucination, she closes her eyes massages her ear while she finishes hers.
[5:33][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:recovers a little more of her faculties as the third drink did not seem to hit as hard as the second "This is an interesting drink
[5:39][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:“Nick... Long aga Travynai went to war with a species, the Vashta; who are/were they, and why were you fighting?”
[5:42][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru is looking a little squirrely, and her focus was not quite there for the question so it might have been a little haltingly spoken
[5:43][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "That is a name i have not heard in some time. During the first great war of conquest here in the LMC. The Vashta were a powerful race that opposed the Dark. We fought name battles.
[5:43][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "In the End it was the Dark Ocean that ended our fight with them, and not a force of arms.
[5:44][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "that was some two million years ago, the visions you are seeing are memories of that time.
[5:46][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Then they still exist, and they are against the Dark by principle?
[5:47][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "that seems a reasonable assumption...I am sorry i can't tell you for sure...i am in the dark about it as much as you...pardon the pun.
[5:47][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Not even looking at him she nods
[5:48][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **looks over at Carina.*
[5:49][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Just how dangerous will going to this planet of the Kael'thari be?
[5:50][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Any trip into that region of space poses some risk..The Kael'thari are a primitive species so they don't pose a serious threat to you..but the mission will be challenging.
[5:52][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "There is enough in the bottle for one more round ladies. Or have you had enough?
[5:52][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"I assumed as much, ohh I will have another go
[5:53][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Romulans can drink
[5:53][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Nick pours another round. Three more shots
[5:53][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Nick takes his shot
[5:54][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:takes the shot and drops it in her mouth, savoring the taste before swallowing
[5:54][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] Your friends lasted longer than i expected. You two, even longer. You both must be made of stern stuff.
[5:54][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru drinks, a little quicker

[5:56][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Both of you get that lovely euphoric feeling and the warm fuzzies
[5:56][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "You two would make fine Travynei.
[5:56][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I feel alien enough...
[5:57][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:“Beyond amusement, Nick, what do you gain by assisting us in these endeavors?”
[5:57][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Fair enough. I wont try to make you grow horns then.
[5:58][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Entertainment. My dear, entertainment. i am an old man and I have been around a while and seen much. I get bored easy Carina.
[5:59][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "i mean there is the curiosity. It satisfies my curiosity as much as yours. But mostly entertainment.
[6:01][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"entertainment and amusement are the same thing, are you sure you are not dodging the question? Are you sure there is not another goal you are seeking to fulfil?
[6:03][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru absently massages her ear.
[6:04][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:watches curious to how nick will react
[6:05][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "I assure you what i do is for my own personal amusement. what i do may or may not serve a larger purpose as determined by the Aspect of chaos that i server. But, i cant know what their ..
[6:05][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] motives are as they are beyond us all.
[6:06][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Since you two finished off the bottle with me, i will grant you one further question for free.
[6:07][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"I did not get one for the drink yet, so I have two, I will ask both after my friend here
[6:08][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "right, of course..it slipped my ming, honest mistake dear.
[6:09][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Starfleet and the federation seek to bring peace and coordinated prosperity to everyone whom they interact. That is pretty well the oposite of chaos, yet you are sowing chaos by helping us...
[6:10][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"It seems to me that doing that is a goal unto itself, and you answered that question. So my last, have you been to Earth, if so when and how many times?
[6:11][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "I am not sure Dru. I am not sure exactly where this is going. But, i think the chaos comes whenb you exploreers open the right doors.
[6:14][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"I cant think strait enough right now to think clearly, so I am gonna ask this, Do you find me attractive? you did mention we would make a good one of your people
[6:15][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **chuckles at that** "Why of course i find you attractive. I have always admired the humanoid form. Your galaxy has such a lovely diversity of forms.
[6:16][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Always hmm, sounds like he has been to our galaxy before.
[6:17][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "I wont lie, as i think you people have already determined my kind have been to your galaxy before. In the past.
[6:17][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:smirks and winks at Nick "Does that mean you have been intimate with one like me or us in the past
[6:17][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"But I asked if you had been to Earth, and when
[6:18][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Sorry, didn't mean to interupt the flirting... proceed
[6:18][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "A gentleman does not kiss and tell.
[6:19][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Earth, now that was a lovely place. I enjoyed it so much i was there more tha once.
[6:20][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "the last time was some 800 or was it 900 years ago? A while ago anyway.
[6:20][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"That is a yes, I do like a Disquinquised gentlemen, Earth is quite nice
[6:20][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"perhaps we have reached the end of the honesty part... a gentleman does not kiss and tell, hrumph
[6:22][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] **laughs** "yes the bottle of honesty is empty and i mush be going. It was a genuine pleasure ladies.
[6:22][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"I believe Nick, you made your presence known enough to alter the form artists chose to represent demons and devils.
[6:23][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"Hopefully we can have more time soon, like I said, I do like a Disquinquised gentlemen
[6:23][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"But the bottle is empty, please return the rest of the people or us to where we should be as you found us on your arrival.
[6:24][DOIC1]Peebles@Demoncheru:[Nick] "Everyone back where they should be. Your friends are safe in bed.
[6:25][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:Nick snaps his fingers and the lounge is back as it should be, with all the patrons none the wiser
[6:26][DOIC]Peebles@Demoncheru:And with that the credits roll and the camera pans back out..
[6:27][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:"Commander, I am going to sick bay... I am not sure if I am just drunk or poisoned, but these halucinations should be monitored I think. Could you call someone to help me, I'm not sure I can walk it
[6:29][DOIC1]Carina Winther@awendr:"of course, I will help you there" helps dru get to sickbay as the credits roll
[6:29][DOIC1]Draganov@Gonz.:*Dru turns off her recording from her wrist device and goes to lay down
