[9:52][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I think perhaps you are too excited to fire on it. Study is more called for.
[9:52][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:You um.... want to listen to the message, or....
[9:52][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Right, prepare a probe, we will send it in close and see what we can determine from a close in visual inspection.
[9:52][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi looks to the captain for permission to play the message

[9:53][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The kzari survived for two million years thanks to our instincts to fire on things that look suspicious... but I see your point.
[9:53][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*puts the message on the main screen and plays it
[9:54][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the screen shows split screen two people on the screen. One side a Cardassian woman in her early 20s, on the other a Human man, the same. They were speaking.. a language the UT wasn't translating
[9:54][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the woman smiled after the man said something
[9:55][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi uses a panel to do a crash re-familiarization of known comets while they gather more information to compare.
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Somebody's got a forbidden romance," *she said in a sing-song voice.
[9:55][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"You recognize the language?
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "The body language, certainly.
[9:56][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"That is certainly suspicious. Recruiting assets through sex appeal has been a thing longer than any of our species has existed.
[9:56][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Has the UT been exposed to the whole message? It should have translated by now.
[9:57][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*checks if the UT is engaged
[9:57][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the body language of the woman shifts to dissapointment after something the man says
[9:57][DOIC1]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"Oh, he's married?
[9:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"There. Now she will say something along the lines of "If you truly love me, you'll release the biological agent and kill eveeryone.
[9:57][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*mutters under her breath and starts feeding "help" to the Universal Translator
[9:58][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the languag eclears up
[9:58][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Speculation, " *sighs* "we need solid information, preferably.
[9:59][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Woman] If you aren't going to be stopping in Madelen for two weeks we won't be able to see each other for another three months while we run the zone.
[10:00][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Seems we have a shadow docked or in orbit of Madelen. Making a note of that.
[10:00][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Man] Its not up to me, my father is the one that sets the plans. We were suppose to be overhauling the Paradox for the next two months but he's picked up another haul contract. This one is even legi
[10:02][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Woman] We are abotu to go out of range of the relay.. I have to hide my hack again. The last thing i want is the Obsidian order accusing me of treason. I love you Roland. Until our pages turn again

[10:04][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*scrolls back through the message from the beginning. After checking the entire message, she shrugs and goes back to other things
[10:04][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik gave the comet another scan, trying to see if the close range can help her scans penetrate.
[10:04][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi runs the name Kelair through the database looking for any near matches roughly 20, human
[10:04][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Scans are still bouncing...

[10:04][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"The Probe is ready to be configured
[10:05][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:does a scan on the comet trying to scan its insides
[10:05][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:(correction, cardi
[10:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She did the most obvious scan of all... and looked at the comet on the viewscreen.
[10:05][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*The comet was large with a long tail it had several smaller comets that were orbitting it as well
[10:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Cute, it has babies.
[10:06][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"We could attempt to collect a sample, from the tail debris.
[10:06][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "ready to be configured? "i want the probe to do a close pass of the comet to do a visual inspection..including through the tail of the comet. We can have to probe take samples.
[10:06][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Let me see if I can scan the tail debris. If they are scannable, then it would mean it picked them up along the way and are completely uselesss.
[10:06][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She scanned the baby comets too.
[10:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The tail debris are mostly ice.
[10:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Not much use.
[10:07][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"The prob could also be made to set down on the comet surface, and transmit tracking data.
[10:07][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*all of the lights dim for a moment
[10:07][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She looked up, her cat-eyes slits widening some.* "Hmm?
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Don't like that...
[10:07][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Uh.. that's not right
[10:07][DOIC1]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"That's concerning.
[10:08][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:'Report, what was the cause.
[10:08][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Theres a power drain? *he checked it again
[10:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Did you touch the wrong button?
[10:08][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Power drain from where?
[10:08][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:configures the probe to do what Zarine wants it to, then preps a second probe to fly with the comet and record speed and course data, for the slightest changes "prepping, and a second one to fly wit
[10:08][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:comet
[10:09][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:The comet ma'am... I think it's kind of.. like a general drain in the area.
[10:09][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Try pulling us back a bit.
[10:09][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Actually that is a better idea, second probe configured for landing on comet and record data
[10:09][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Helm back us off the comet.
[10:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Um... so the comet just increased in speed to .4 impulse.
[10:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Taking us back." *She went to back up a bit.
[10:10][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"That is not a comet.
[10:10][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The "Comet" drew from our power and started moving fater?
[10:10][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:(Faster*
[10:10][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I don't trust that thing one bit.
[10:10][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*as the sigurd backed off the comet the dimmed lights return to full brightness
[10:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "I mean it could be a coincidence, but...
[10:11][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Comets don't accelerate under their own power.
[10:11][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"No way
[10:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Indeed, Captain.
[10:11][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "lets launch those probes.
[10:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"I suppose hailing it could not hurt.
[10:11][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Still does not mean we should fire on it, but it must be investigated further. I remember reading a report of a generation ship that was once thought to be a comet.
[10:11][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Yes, or that.
[10:11][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:back to full power.
[10:12][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"once I have them ready" once configured she sends the order to have them loaded for lunc
[10:12][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:*launc
[10:13][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Probes are loaded.
[10:13][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "launch the probes.
[10:14][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Stagger their launches... if it draws power from one, the other should keep distance... captain.
[10:14][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She pressed the proby-shooty button.
[10:14][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Bye bye baby, bye bye
[10:14][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Waiting some time, she shootyd the second probe.
[10:14][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the probes shoot out on their defined paths
[10:15][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the probe headed to the tailt o take samples however does drain and become dead
[10:15][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Probe one is dead
[10:15][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the other probe is losing power
[10:15][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"This is getting rather annoying.
[10:15][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*while it stays at the orbit
[10:16][DOIC1]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"You'd think that, whoever is on that thing, if anyone, would've noticed that they're gaining power...
[10:16][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"second is loosing power" checks if probe 2 can make it to the comet surfac
[10:16][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"If it contacts, we will lose that probe as well, pull it back.
[10:17][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "pull the probe back.
[10:17][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Ops, can you get a lock on the first probe, and transport it in for analysis?
[10:17][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"Rocky surface, ice and dilithium veins, what is this, a glow coming from a deep fissure" tried to scan the fissur
[10:19][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:No, the targetting scanners can't get a lock. Something is scattering the beams
[10:19][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"So... I ask once more. Why do we not try hailing
[10:20][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"It is interesting captain, a class II probe uses a deuterium microfusion engine, I would be curious to know just what the effects on it were. Purely a power drain or something else...
[10:20][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i suppose, given we have no other options here. LEts try hailing. standard greetings on all frequencies.
[10:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Can we check its logs up until the moment we lost contact?
[10:21][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*queues up the standard hail and broadcasts it toward the comet
[10:21][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vrajen blinked at his readings but waited
[10:21][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Getting a response
[10:21][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Making a note in the log about determining the object is not a comet, and attempts to hail
[10:22][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"What form?
[10:23][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "A response? can you put it on screen?
[10:23][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:Oh... um... it might just be our own call being bounces back
[10:23][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*routes the incoming call to the main viewer anyway just because
[10:24][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **rubs the bridge of her nose, and glances quickly over toward Sif. Trying not to be obvious.*
[10:25][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"I would caution against phasers Captain Dyrellia, it seems to either absorb or reflect depending on the energy. Either would be risky, should you choose to interdict.
[10:25][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Captain, I'm noticing a fusion reaction over there in the comet.. theres an engine in there.
[10:26][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Fusion, or fission?
[10:26][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:And I think there's a.. some sort of exotic reaction happening inside.
[10:27][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Helm, have you plotted it's course yet?
[10:27][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Long term... that is.
[10:27][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Fusion ma'am.
[10:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "It isn't going anywhere but further into space. There's no planets along its trajectory for over 150 lightyears.
[10:28][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*he looked a lil closer into the energy readings again
[10:29][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Captain, uranium is, not by my understanding, not a material used in fusion, but was used in fission weapons historically. I advise caution.
[10:29][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "let's set up a probe to follow the comet at a safe distance for as long as it can.
[10:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] "Uh. Why? It can't scan anything from a safe distance and it'll be eaten if it gets close enough to see anything useful.
[10:29][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "whatever this comet is, i am reasonably sure it is not Cardassian.

[10:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She shrugged.* "Well it's not like we have to pay for them.
[10:32][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Oh! wait thats.. yes.. thats a tetrametric reaction
[10:33][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "of course a tetrametric reaction...
[10:33][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"The new probe is ready.
[10:34][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Would you mind explaining what a tetrametric reaction is...for those on the crew who are not familiar.

[10:37][DOIC]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*the probe started following the comet
[10:37][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik brought up information on the Tkon to read.
[10:38][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*pointedly looks at her own console, pretending to not be involved with the current discussion

[10:39][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"That's a bit harsh, perhaps let the captain address punishment later.
[10:39][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"As far as I have understood it, the Tkon were your galaxy's equivalent of say, the avynei and travynei. Very advanced ancestors, no?

[10:40][DOIC1]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:Yeah kind of... Captain, I'd recommend we have that probe broadcast an alert to stay away from this comet
[10:41][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Very well add that to the probes' programming.
[10:41][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*Sif stood up

[10:43][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*sif cleared her throat even though she didn't need to in tairi's direction
[10:44][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] To answer your quesiton Cadet Kodor, No you performed well, You all did. If not a small amount eager to jump to a conclusion
[10:45][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Cadet Dryellia why did you ignore the freighter even though it was obviously not abiding by federation law
[10:46][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Because, investigation of the freighter would have taken us outside the mission area and the world it was headed to was outside federation jusidiction.
[10:46][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] A good answer
[10:47][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] That was good work finding the hidden signal inside the comm sattelites Cadet Snow

[10:48][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Ma'am, what did they do?
[10:49][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] The Actual USS Sigurd engaged a phaser beam which drained all of its power and left her addrift with no life support for three weeks until she was found
[10:49][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **raises an eyebrow*
[10:49][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"I knew the story seemed familier, I just could not place it

[10:50][DOIC1]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"If it was a weapon, I'd assume the 'comet' would try to alter course, instead of continuing after draining.
[10:50][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"The comet was a naturally occuring runaway reaction caused by the strike of an exotic asteroid.
[10:50][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] It couldn't alter course merely pick up speed as reactant was propelled out of it
[10:51][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"But still dangerous, which is why knowing it's course was important.

[10:51][DOIC1]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"If it were crewed, I'd assume other actions to be taken, aside from picking up a bit of speed.
[10:51][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "I see. I did not know at the time if the energy grain was an attack or not. But our orders were to deescalate. So i felt backing away was the best first course.

[10:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] That is what you must focus on, Maintaining your bearing even when no one is watching. And the stakes are simply getting hungry at a normal time.
[10:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Speaking of food it is after 1300 you are released for midday meal
[10:57][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Slight smile
[10:57][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Sif] Dismissed cadets
[10:57][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:"Thank you Commander, a worthy lesson.
[10:57][DOIC1]Bethany M Scarlett@awendr:"That was alot of fun
[10:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Marla] *She made a straight line for the door.
[10:57][DOIC1]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*She nodded and stepped towards the exit.
[10:57][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:"KNow that had you failed... you would be eating a ration and clearning the holodeck scrubbers.
[10:57][DOIC1]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **stops and looks at the command chair again, then the holographic ship plaque berfore heading for the exit.*
[10:58][DOIC1]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:*Muirgen stands down from attention, then walks out
[10:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:=^= Beta shift cadets report to the holodeck. *she could be heard calling as they left
[10:58][DOIC1]Tairi@Cuatel:*outside the holodeck* but the scrubbers are self-cleaning..
[10:59][DOIC1]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi pauses to let the others go, then says to Sif* "It was a good lesson." *then she goes to get out of beta shift's way.
[11:00][DOIC3]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:*Hedwik sat at a stool and ordered chicken soup and water.
[11:00][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] That bad
[11:00][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she served her from the rapid replicator
[11:01][DOIC5]Vrajen Kodor@the5of43:*Vrajen let the others out the lift before taking it to another level
[11:01][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*lizzy's was in lunch diner mode
[11:01][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"Glad I'm back on Alpha shift." She sits and orders a couple of hot dogs and fries.
[11:01][DOIC3]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"No. Just a regular old day, I suppose.
[11:01][DOIC3]Tairi@Cuatel:*sits crosslegged on a couch in the corner of the lounge with a plate
[11:01][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:*Joining the others, she awaits Elsie, then orders a good roman midday meal
[11:02][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*elsie serves her a meal fo stuffed dates and a lamb shank
[11:02][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"A cadet's regular day... lessons to mould us.
[11:02][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*with a cup of synthwine
[11:03][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **enters and takes a seat at the bar*
[11:04][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Thank you Elsie. May I inquire as to your day's happenings?
[11:04][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Catelogied a new comet
[11:04][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"You too then?
[11:04][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Mine was just ice
[11:05][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Sif's running the sigurd simulation. Gamma shift all died
[11:05][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Oh... who was in command?
[11:05][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Zeke
[11:06][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"I'll have to send him a giftwrapped ration bar.
[11:09][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:*Tavi settles in to eat, though she takes plenty of time to be clean about it.
[11:09][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:*Muirgen sprinkles some cheese on her hot dogs, then squirts some Ranch dressing and Thousand Island in the buns.
[11:10][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] **pips her tea slowly*
[11:10][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] But hey look at it this way light shift today
[11:10][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:**sips eve
[11:11][DOIC3]Hedwik@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. I cannot wait to get back to bed.
[11:11][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Light shift, I still need to bring up a file on the Tkon... a completely hole in my knowledge.
[11:12][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:*Muirgen chows down on her hot dog abominations, barely paying attention to the conversation
[11:12][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "There was a section on it im my galactic history course on Vulcan.
[11:13][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Can't be expected to know everything
[11:13][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"That's an easy summary: Everyone was violent, then everyone was logical.
[11:14][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Is that a joke about vulcan or the tkon?
[11:14][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"Vulcans. I don't know much about Tkons.
[11:16][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"I think the real lesson I'm learning as a cadet, is that I don't know much at all." *she sips her wine
[11:16][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "I suppose that is a reasonable summation of Vulcan history, even if highly oversimplificed.
[11:16][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"I'd agree with that. And think of how much we won't know once we're in the fleet.
[11:17][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "The EArth philosopher, Socrates said it was the beginning of wisdom..recognizzing how little one knows.
[11:17][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"I remember asking ... i'll not say who... how do you know what is the right thing to do in command, and they said, honestly, I don't. But I use my knowledge and experience to guess, and adjust.
[11:19][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Ah yes" *she nods to Zarina* "Soctrates's apology.
[11:19][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"And justify later, if necessary.
[11:20][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"There's an old ska-punk band, named Operation Ivy, who had a song called Knowledge. The chorus was "All I know is that I don't know nothin'." Similar concept.
[11:21][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i suppose the concept is the same.
[11:22][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"it is common enough wisdom, Confucius, Hume, the Dali Lama.. I've read it before, it is just this training that sinks it in I think.
[11:22][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i felt like i knew more when i left the academy that i do now.
[11:23][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"Especially because, before, in the classroom on tests, we were expected to know more.
[11:23][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:*sip* "I'm glad more than anything, that we didn't embarrass ourselves in front of Sif.
[11:24][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] *got them more drinks
[11:24][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i am relived that my opportunity to sit in the command chair ended well."
[11:24][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Not your first though.
[11:24][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"You did well.
[11:25][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "My first uninterrupted chance anyway.
[11:25][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"And you made a good showing, You mother would be proud.
[11:26][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "I am glad my mother was not our instructor. I feel she would have been far more critical.
[11:27][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:*laughs
[11:27][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:*She chuckles.* "Bit of a hard ass, then?
[11:28][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Much like the captain of the ship our test was based on, my mother's outlook was heavily shaped by war.
[11:28][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"You don't get much more critical than Sif, she just softened our small errors because we didn't die.
[11:30][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Sif is a hero
[11:30][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i suppose that whole generation's outlook has been shaped by war and loss.
[11:30][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Especially when you are a warship
[11:30][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"I fully expect us all to get pages of notes on what we could do better, but as private messages.
[11:30][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "i welcome any constructive criticism.
[11:30][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Sif is a hero, and a warship... trust me, I can't forget it.
[11:31][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"That's so...weird...She's a warship.
[11:31][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"She was m.. nevermind.
[11:31][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] She's Photonic, She's a hero to all of us. The only mark 1 Vici to stay sane
[11:32][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] She was the Vessel Integrated Combat Interface on the USS Mjolnir. Now she sorta still is but the one thats here is the Avatar
[11:32][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"An AI, but good.
[11:32][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] She was responsible for savign the crew of the pilgrim during the Dawnbreaker war a few times
[11:33][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Well I am an AI... thats also good
[11:33][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Most of us are
[11:33][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Something to keep in mind, Sif isn't just all that. She is a record, and won't ever forget those who served with her, and those who died.
[11:34][DOIC3]Zarina Dyrellia@Demoncheru:[Zarina] "Then, i suppose that makes Sif my hero as well. i would not be here otherwise.
[11:35][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"Apologies. I...the Academy wasn't exactly glowing about AI.
[11:35][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Well they are still trying to make sure organics don't keep making us slaves
[11:36][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] She paints
[11:37][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"Some AI, I only had two profs who were not appreciative of Artificials.
[11:37][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*behind elsie was a hung painting of her dancing alone on the dance floor, while the principal was her in a beautiful spanish style red dress, the margines had hidden runework
[11:37][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:*Muirgen turns to look at the painting.* "Beautiful.
[11:37][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] On the Mjolnir theirs an entire mural and the decks are addornd with the worlds of everyone who has served
[11:38][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"She is right, there is, Sif painted it.
[11:38][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] I virtually toured the ship in the virtual museum in atlantis
[11:38][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"I didn't know they put one there, that's great Elsie
[11:39][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] you can tour the Mjolnir, The Voyager, The Sentinel, The Adagio-A, The Pilrgim and the Enterprises
[11:41][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"I've done a virtual tour, but from home. It's fantastic they have them in Earth's AI city. I've meant to visit, but never got around to it because I don't know anyone who moved there.
[11:41][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] I think they are in all of them the benefit of a virtual exhibit
[11:42][DOIC3]Muirgen@BobSagetYY:"That would be interesting to see.
[11:42][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"I've heard the politics about them can get salty. Not all of the artificials are understanding about how long it took to be recognized.
[11:44][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] Thats True. Also most of the ones that are championed are ones that served. It's really hard to Measure up to someone like Sif or Bren Riens or Ada or Data
[11:44][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:[Elsie] i don't really include Zimmermann in that its really easy to just be a whiny bitch..
[11:44][DOIC3]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*elsie chuckled
[11:44][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:*laughs
[11:45][DOIC3]Antony@Gonz.:"He isn't that bad, I don't think.
