[3:21][DOIC]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:parts of the galaxy and the fleet remains recalled in case of an additional attack on the Citadel. As Liz and friends are confined to Compton's office for War Dealings, the rest of the crew is left.
[3:21][DOIC]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:to their own devices on the Citadel, all the while awaiting a potential call to arms. *
[3:23][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Unable to ease off or find a place to sit, with Cynna having classes, Val took long strides across the promenade, back and forth, keeping an eye out.
[3:26][DOIC3]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*There was a little batch of Kirtascan children singing a hymn to the Protector near their pile of luggage.
[3:27][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She let out a soft sight, passing them by, continuing her patrol, eventually stopping to take a piece of gum and chew on it as if it owed her a significant amount of latinum.
[3:28][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Starfleet is believing its own "not a military organization" bullshit at zis point." *She grunted to herself.
[3:29][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:Sits in the lounge working on something on her padd, every now and again taking a drink from her cok
[3:29][DOIC3]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*Were Val to glance out the promenade window, she would see a civilian freighter making a run at the Artesia gateway.
[3:30][DOIC3]Caterina@Demoncheru:[Nemala] --Stepped over a group of refugess as if avoiding a mud puddle, on her way to another meeting-
[3:30][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Sits in the bar, a pint next to him. A now destoryed wooden model he had been working on in frotn of him, tools a bit more neatly on the side
[3:30][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She leans her shoulder against a wall, looking out the window, silently saying a prayer for them to make it.
[3:31][DOIC3]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*A ship tries to chase the freighter down, but it's too late; they slip right through, Artesia lighting up as she always did, and they were gone.
[3:33][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Crazy bastards... 'ere's 'oping you made it." *She sighed, returning to her rounds, but eventually giving up upon seeing everything being more or less calm. "'Ell." *She checks her replicator
[3:33][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Rations and makes a bag of cookies, going to place it near the little hymn-singing kidtascans.
[3:34][DOIC3]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:[Kidtascan 1] "Thank you lady!
[3:34][DOIC3]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:[Kidtascan 2] "The Protector says that red head-fur is called being ginger, are you ginger?
[3:35][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She chuckles softly.* "I suppose zat I am.
[3:36][DOIC3]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*Talyse strode past while moving to the lounge, her face patterened with drying blue blood.
[3:37][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Val closed her eyes to chase any no-no thoughts away.
[3:38][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Val bit her lip to stop herself from cursing out, upon realizing there are -so many- adoptable lizard babies.
[3:39][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*Taly walked into the bar, the blue drying black and almost looking like an addition to her facial tattoos. She approached the bar and spoke.* "Give me mead.
[3:39][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Eizher way, you kids... just do not get into trouble, and listen to ze security officers, alright?
[3:40][DOIC3]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:[Kidtascan] "Okay, ginger lady!" *The others were already devouring their cookies.
[3:40][DOIC3]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Smiles and gives them a nod, leaving them to enjoy their cookies and -not- adopting any. For the time being.
[3:41][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:Cat sipped her beer, glancing over at Taly giving her a nod.-
[3:41][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She accepted her mug of mead from Hank, holding it in both hands as she lifted it up to drink deeply.
[3:41][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Walks up to the counter.* "'Ello, 'ank. Coffee wiz whiskey. More whiskey, less coffee.
[3:42][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:--gives Vala friendly wave.-
[3:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Returns a littlle fingerwave of her own.
[3:42][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:[Holo Hank] "Irish wake-up call, coming up." *He gave her a glass.
[3:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"And 'ere I zhought an Irish wake-up call was ze sound of bombs going off.
[3:42][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*Taly lowered the mug, wiping the froth from her upper lip and nodding to Caterina.* "Science.
[3:43][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:[Holo Hank] "My database says that's an Irish goodnight.
[3:43][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles and gives Hank a nod.* "Indeed.
[3:43][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:--looks confused, but simply give Taly a smile-
[3:44][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Nods those at those who enter before going back to his drink
[3:44][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"You are science officer, yes?
[3:44][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"yes..was that a question?
[3:44][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:Sighs scratching the back of her head briefly barely noticing any of the goings on in the loung
[3:44][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I believe it was a simple greeting.
[3:44][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"or is that my new nick name?
[3:45][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"If you wish it to be. Would save me trouble of remembering true name.
[3:45][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:--shrugs-- "..if you want to call me by my job title it wont offend me.
[3:45][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"At least choose yourself a bezzer nickname, Cazerina. Like "Bonechewer" or somezhing.
[3:46][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I have been informed that chewer of bone has different context for Federation.
[3:46][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"You are telling me? I once knew a klingon calling 'erself "Gutwrecker.
[3:46][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"i don't think I could live up to a nickname like bonechewer ma'am.
[3:47][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"At least 'science' I know I can do.
[3:47][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"It is easier to yell across bridge," *she nodded.
[3:47][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"May'aps. Even so, do not downplay your competence. I 'ave seen a lot worse zan you.
[3:48][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"...well when it comes to science and computers I consider myself well qualified ma'am.
[3:48][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I have seen as such.
[3:49][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"Doing your job while being shot at is the acid test, as it were.
[3:49][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Were you not fresh out of ze academy when you came to us? If my memory did not fail me, zen you 'ave been doing a stellar job for being zhrown into ze deep end like zis.
[3:50][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"My job typically begins when being shot at begins.
[3:50][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"aye ma'am the Gig was my first assigment out of the academy.
[3:50][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Well done, zen." *She nods to Cat.
[3:50][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"Thank you ma'am.
[3:50][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She looked at her remaining mead, then lifted the mug to consume more of it.
[3:51][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"Considering my insticts tell me too curl up into a ball and cry, I would say I did pretty good.
[3:51][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Took a dip swig of her own concoction.* "Ah, 'ell. A developmentally challenged puppy could 'ave seen zis coming...
[3:52][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Arfacio did. And they took her first for it. Like Kirtascans with wormhole device.
[3:52][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Cat.* "Winning against one's instincts is one of ze most admirable victories one can make, and one I often fail to earn myself.
[3:52][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:--nods to Val, raising her glass-
[3:53][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Anyone who read reports shared ze Captain's opinion. Yet we were scattered and careless." *She raises her glass to Cat.
[3:54][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:--sips her drink.-
[3:54][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"No point in crying over spilled milk, I guess. Now we wait to see what command says about trying to stage a counter offensive.
[3:55][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"If fear does not paralyse." *She set her mead down.
[3:56][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"I seriously hope not... i dont envy the cpatain here... Must be getting a real headache dealing with the brass.
[3:56][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"We will bring our wagons togezher around ze Citadel until ships are repaired... afterwards... Well, afterwards I 'ope we start testing ze waters.
[3:57][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:"I'll bet there are officers out there licking their chops at the red tape they can use.
[3:57][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"They will be first to be put to Tanausan sword, then. They adapt or die.
[3:58][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Taly.
[3:58][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*nods* "Such terriable workplace accidents...
[3:59][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*Her brow arched slightly and gave Val a glance.
[3:59][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Gave Taly a long-suffering look back.
[4:00][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She took another drink and passed the mug back to Hank.
[4:00][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"You do 'ave some 'olographic blood on you.
[4:01][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"My blood," *she corrected.* "Do not touch.
[4:02][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She accepted the mug back from Hank after he refilled it.
[4:02][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Ah, yours is blood, not typical vulcanoid green?
[4:02][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:(Yours is blue*
[4:03][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Correct. We are vulcanoid, but conditions on homeworld very different. Cause of much debate among xenobiologists. But blood is blue.
[4:04][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Intriguing. On Earzh we would say nobility 'as blue blood.
[4:05][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Of course, zey do not, and I would know, wiz my parents and zeir pride in our bloodlines.
[4:05][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Would not be disease of humours if blood was unnatural colour?" *She tilted her head.
[4:05][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods.* "It is more of a turn of phrase. "Noble" blood is ze same as all ozher 'uman blood.
[4:06][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:Looks curiously at the others at the bar
[4:06][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I see. Humans have many phrases I have learned over years, yet still I find more. You have certain love of strange expressions. Is endearing.
[4:06][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"One side of my family traces lineage back to a knight of old, and ze ozher apparently 'as a courtly 'istory, but if you cut me, I would bleed red.
[4:07][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She chuckles and nods to Talyse.* "Why, zhank you. I find your own bluntness and traditions strangely refreshing.
[4:09][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She nodded once.* "It is good to be appreciated.
[4:10][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Often it is my people are accused of barbarism." *She shrugged.
[4:11][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles softly.* "Oh, welcome to ze club. One of our former stratops was trill. She enjoyed making such accusations of me.
[4:11][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Truly? Even of humans?
[4:12][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed... You 'ave to remember Trill do take exceptional pride in 'ow quickly zeir warlike period ended and zeir people became more interested in culture adn science.
[4:13][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"ANd Humans have an extremely violent history
[4:13][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:'Quite so.
[4:13][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"They judge on how your people were before? Do not most people of stars have history of warfare?
[4:14][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"She did not so much judge me as tried to argue back and forzh wiz me. It was not from a place of malice or arrogance.
[4:14][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*Finally entered the lounge as he is carrying a bunch of padds and looking like he is dead on the inside after a couple of days of meeting* Hank, Irish whiskey please... The real stuff
[4:14][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Besides, I do tend to lash out at times.
[4:15][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Alex.
[4:15][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:[Holo Hank] "Yes, Mister Sharpe. I regret to inform you that until further notice, this will be the last of 'the real stuff' to be shipped in for the forseeable future." *He poured him a glass.
[4:15][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:--Cat smiles at Alex-- "long day sir?
[4:16][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"hey Boss
[4:16][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*doesn't notice the nod* Fuck sakes... Thanks Hank. *nodded at the hologram before turning to cat* Long days. *takes a sip after he placed his padds infront of him* You lot behaving
[4:17][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Waiting for news or furzher orders, mostly...
[4:17][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Yes," *Taly said, the intricate patterns of dried blood still on her face.
[4:17][DOIC1]Caterina@Demoncheru:"i always behave sir.
[4:18][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Think so, but rather depends on how behaving is defined
[4:18][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Doing nothing that would cause headache to superior officer.
[4:18][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*glanced at Taly's blood* Offense or defence
[4:18][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Or to any of ze security officers saround ze station.
[4:18][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Blood oath, Commander.
[4:19][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"To free Captain Arfacio, or avenge 'er screaming, I imagine?
[4:19][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*Hmm. *nods* Fair enough. *sips
[4:19][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Contract with gods was for two Tanausans for each lost on Enigma.
[4:20][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Well, you best slow down, wiz your shooting I believe you 'ave already done zis.
[4:20][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Personally, not though ship weapons fire.
[4:20][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Mmm. Admirable.
[4:22][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She nodded.* "I intend to be here for some time.
[4:23][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Good. Going into battle intending to die is quite counter-productive, as ze klingon empire 'as proven.
[4:24][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Best vengeance against foes is death by old age," *she smirked.
[4:24][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed, but killing zem also works quite well.
[4:25][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Well yes, would be implied in that you are alive still when they were your sworn enemy.
[4:26][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Quite. Is zere a shrine to your gods on ze Citadel?
[4:26][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She looked at Val.* "I am only Etrynarian here. Would be no need.
[4:27][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Ah, zat would explain why I 'ave only seen you around.
[4:27][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I am only one in Starfleet." *She drank more mead.
[4:28][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Mm. Well zhink of it zis way, you are a trailblazer. One of ze great firsts for your people.
[4:30][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Perhaps. Though if I am forever trapped in galaxy with unspeakable evil, Matriarchs may forbid joining for generation or two." *She chuckled.
[4:31][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She chuckles softly.* "More unspeakable evil means more sacrifices for your gods and more 'onour to be gained, non?
[4:32][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Indeed, though they may never know.
[4:32][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*sips as he reads one of his padds* Please cat tell me you have done something else than thinking dread and making sacrifices as we are waiting for new orders
[4:32][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:'Mm, quite. Well, I would be glad to 'ave more Etrynarians around.
[4:34][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles as she looks at Cat.* "She's been getting ready for war, I am certain." *She downed more of her whiskey with coffee.
[4:36][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Hank of House Holo, I desire cakes of crab." *She nodded once.* "With... garlic sauce.
[4:37][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Ah, whatever, I could eat too... Bacon-wrapped meatloaf, please.
[4:38][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:[Holo Hank] *He served the meals dutifully.
[4:38][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods and takes her plate.* "Come to mama, you delightful gains.
[4:39][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She dipped her crab cakes delicately in the sauce, just barely getting a coating before consuming it.
[4:40][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She cut up big, Val-sized slices.* "Gyms were pretty full zis morning. Lots of people needing to work zeir frustrations out." *She dug in with delight.
[4:40][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I believe she is caught in what Captain Arfacio refers to as 'standing nap syndrome.' Try stacking coaster on her head.
[4:41][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She looked at Alex and Cat.
[4:41][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"Sounds like a wonderful thing to be able to do
[4:41][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Not in midst of battle.
[4:42][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*slowly looked towards Taly* I like that idea... but not on cat here.... Next quiet bridge duty on commander Allen perhaps
[4:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"We used to be able to do zat wiz David.
[4:42][DOIC1]Eleria@awendr:"True, timing would be important, still feel it would be nice to have the ability
[4:42][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Alex.
[4:43][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She nodded.* "Will have stack of standard issue Starfleet drink coasters sent to bridge locker.
[4:44][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I do sometimes envy people who can afford to 'ave coasters stacked on zem during duty.
[4:44][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*nodded* As the new girl on the bridge, the honour of the first coaster is yours
[4:45][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Your kindness is without bound, Commander." *She chuckled and ate another bite of crab cake.
[4:46][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:*raised his drink to Taly before sipping* There is still enough time for you to realise I am in reality a total ass
[4:46][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Would you be Commander were you not?
[4:46][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Ze good zhing is...
[4:47][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She cuts herself off.* "Yes, zat is what I was about to say... being an ass is simply ze norm.
[4:47][DOIC1]Jacob@redwolf567#235:*Finishes his drink, taking his stuff to leave
[4:48][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:There are grades to it. *sips* Being a total one is only midway
[4:49][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Ze grades tend to correspond to ze rank.
[4:49][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I will take note of... asshole gradient.
[4:50][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She chuckles softly.* "So long as you never say out loud zat you are doing it.
[4:51][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Or you do and have the slight chance of someone appriacting the honesty
[4:52][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She shrugged.* "Depends on asshole, yes?
[4:52][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:I once called my captain on the Provinces the living definition of a bastard pleasuring himself to pictures of himself... The guy became my mentor
[4:52][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Indeed. Some ass'oles prefer you to be more tender, while ozher prefer you being forceful.
[4:53][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I 'ave a bad track record wiz mentors.
[4:54][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Suppose you can say now I do, too.
[4:54][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Non, not quite. She is still alive, seems razher competent, and you seem to 'ave worked well togezher.
[4:55][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"With small issue of being held captive by Tanausan Imperium.
[4:55][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:repay her mentorship by being there where she needs you most
[4:56][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She nodded.* "I intend to.
[4:56][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Quite. Zere is little need to write 'er off just yet.
[4:57][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I do not. I merely state it is not good for track record... yes?
[4:57][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Well, it is no fault of yours or 'ers, so I say it is not quite bad.
[4:57][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Is fair.
[4:57][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Considering my track record of mentors is one dead, one I slept wiz, and one who is possibly insane...
[4:58][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"I see. Perhaps judgement should be questioned.
[4:59][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Good judgement and I rarely agree on some mazzers.
[5:00][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"It can be acquired skill, if you truly desire change.
[5:00][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Oh, I trust my judgement when it comes to my work. Interpersonal relationships are quite anozher zhing.
[5:01][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"At least you are not lacking in awareness. Some will live and die not understanding how truly despised they were.
[5:03][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Quite." *She pops another crunchy bacon-wrapped piece of meatloaf in her mouth.* "But you know, I said it ze moment I joined starfleet. I am not 'ere to make friends, I am 'ere to try and do some
[5:03][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Good zhrough my work. Lord knows zis mess of a galaxy needs it.
[5:04][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"And will need more soon," *she said as she munched a crab cake.
[5:05][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"So long as zere are blue balls rolling around ze good part of town, someone will need to kick zem back over ze fence...
[5:07][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"With far fewer blue balls than came over here with," *she smirked.
[5:07][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She smirks as well.* "Amen to zat.
[5:09][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"So do tell me, 'ow are you finding Starfleet?
[5:09][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She raised a brow slightly.* "I have served for years.
[5:13][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"Well, still. It must be difficult, being forced from a warrior culture to a place where you cannot even admit you are in a military organization?
[5:14][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Starfleet isn't a military organization. We do take over militaristic responsibilities however. Our first and foremost mission is exploration, never forget that
[5:14][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Is not so difficult to understand and adapt to. Captains have appreciated difference of perspective.
[5:15][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She nodded.* "Yes, Commander. Afracio said same.
[5:15][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Taly, then looks at Alex.* "Right... Zat does not make us any less of a miltiary organization, 'owever.
[5:15][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Why is distinction important to you?
[5:16][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:"I 'ave just always found ze way starfleet speaks of itself a bit 'ypocritical.
[5:16][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"That is way of all organisations and governments.
[5:18][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Chuckles some.* "You do 'ave a point.
[5:19][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:"Yes," *she agreed and finished her crab cakes.
[5:22][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*She finishes her own food, ordering herself some creme brulee.
[5:23][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She checked her PADD.* "I must go. Fare well, Alex of House Sharpe, Valerie of House Chalons.
[5:23][DOIC1]Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon:*Nods.* "And a good night to you, Talyse of 'ouse Avelle.
[5:23][DOIC1]Talyse Avelle@liorexu:*She turned and departed.
[5:24][DOIC1]Alex Sharpe@n7pathfinder#397:Avelle. *nodded as he scrounged his padds together
