[9:47][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The episode opens on a shot of the Pilgrim sweeping past the camera as it lingers over the mountainously terrained planet. In the distance, one could see the Enigma sweeping around at a much..
[9:48][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:wider orbit. The scene dissolves onto the bridge of the Pilgrim, as T'Pang's log plays as a voiceover. *
[9:48][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 98626.17, Silver blinked in unexpectedly to throw us a little holiday party. Once we all figured out that is was not some bizzare Chantry or Tanasaunan sttack we were able ..
[9:50][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:to relax and enjoy ourselves. It gave the crew some much needed rest and relaxation. Now of course it is back to work. We received word from the Arotean government. It seems they wish to talk now
[9:51][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:I am waiting for thier call. I am curious to find what they wish to say. End Lo
[9:52][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--shut off the recorder and sets it on the table. After straigtening her uniform she heads for the bridge
[9:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She looked at Valkriss.* "The message has been received, Commander, if you wish to summon the Captain.
[9:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checked the console
[9:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--as if on cue, T'Pang waks onto the bridge.-
[9:52][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looksup from her padd andnods- Very well -hits her combadge- +^= Bridge to the captai

[9:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Scans around and stretches.
[9:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Well, I believe the message is pre-recorded, ma'am.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "right put them on screen.
[9:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "It's audio only, ma'am.
[9:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..curious...play it for me how you can.
[9:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The audio began to play, with a male Arotean voice.* "Attention alien vessel. This is President Piia, representing the Unified Arotean Nations. Your hostilities toward our people have gone far..
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:enough. You will return our abducted countrymen to us and depart our system at once. Failure to do so will result in a declaration of war between our species. You may think us primitive, but we..
[9:55][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-facepalms
[9:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Laughs.
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:have protectors capable of defending us and who have pledged their support should you take further action against our people. You have two hours to return them to us.
[9:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Valkriss at that.-- "..our hostilities toward them?
[9:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "...They know they were the ones who gassed us first, right?
[9:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They are absent mind to actual circumstance
[9:56][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks- T'Ghor -to the captain- I believe they took offense to our..giving sanctaury to some of their citizen
[9:56][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Marcus and Eren
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Bird brains is an understatement...
[9:56][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li rubs his nose at watching this.
[9:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle, I am going to record a reply. Send it back to them on the same channel.
[9:57][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...well this willconfirm the presence of the Apostates presence officall
[9:58][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:So much for the Arotreans keeping that secret as wel
[9:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye, ma'am." *She hit a button.* "Recording.
[9:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think the huge-ass modern tank confirmed it already, Commander.
[9:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We got recordings of it and all.
[9:59][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I meant when they actually showup T'Gho
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--records a message-- =/\=This is CAptain T'Pang of the Federation Starship Pilgrim, representing the Dawn Alliance. We most certainly wish to comply with your demands. I request we meet in a neutra
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:location to negotiate the return of your people. We have concern regarding their safety once we return them to you.=/\=
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] *He eyed his ACCI console, sniffing sharply.
[10:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She did some quick editing and hit the button.* "Response sent, ma'am.
[10:01][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Sits in the room with the Counselor, doing her mandatory weekly checkin since being released back to duty. Her uniform jacket laying beside her on the couch
[10:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain, we do have the small matter of the fact that atleast two of them requested asylum one, wanting it for their family
[10:01][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:They were quite clear they are seeking sancturar
[10:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods- "I am aware. Hence my request for a meeting to discuss the matter.
[10:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And by discuss, you mean... Should i get the mashed potatoes and gravy I Have leftover in my room?
[10:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "With all due respect, ma'am, I don't see this going over well diplomatically. You heard them. They're obviously operating on faulty logic.
[10:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They probably go well with Arothean.
[10:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"perhaps but the attempt at diplomacy must be made.
[10:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I don't think they're operating on logic at all.
[10:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We're not eating sentient life forms, T'Ghor, even if they're... pretty stupid ones.
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It was a joke. Mostly.
[10:04][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smirks to TGhor at that
[10:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"There is also the problem of what constitutes a neutral site
[10:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We cannot trust anywhere on their planet.
[10:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It is doubtful they trust coming on board.
[10:05][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:And they are somewaht limited on their mode of trave
[10:05][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Maybe they have cute little "Gifted" technology spaceships hidden somewhere...
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am sure we can select a mutually agreeable spot planet side for both parties.
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Somewhere without air vents.
[10:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "The Apostates probably want compliant little slaves, not ones who can fly around wherever they wanted.
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This time we will be sure to bring suitable security forces.
[10:06][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:and where Marcus can deploy his team properl
[10:06][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looks at Tpang and chuckles a little
[10:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Valkriss-
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Dunno, from all the blown up birds I'd say we brought suitable security.
[10:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think "Suitable security forces" consists of Sar wielding a big stick.
[10:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nods to Eren
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Or Koros in a chef's hat.
[10:07][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Or perhaps we just send down Teet
[10:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Jagoda being told they have his body pillow.
[10:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checked his tac scan again
[10:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "No, Jagoda being told that there were a lot of single Arotean females.
[10:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I of course me an impressive show of force so they know not to try anything.
[10:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Ew, Gayle.
[10:08][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We do need to keep our eryes on our long range scanners for thenext two hours at minimu
[10:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"My scans have been running, nothing but some pretty cool supernova some distance away.
[10:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Valkriss-- "They may have already called in their patrons.
[10:09][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- Marcus? anything yet on your side
[10:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Chantry patrols are gettign clsoer but still well outside range
[10:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"they want us to know they are watching.
[10:10][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-to T'Pang- we should alert the Enigma as well as to this new developemen
[10:10][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:They are positioning to move in if reequire
[10:10][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Its what i would do..much like preparingto breac
[10:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Well that is odd
[10:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:There is a Scrythi ship coming frm the Kzari Corridor
[10:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Here we go...-looks over
[10:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Curiou
[10:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Eagles come to eat the flightless birds before we get to 'em.
[10:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Solo vessel named the Aurophyr
[10:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wouldn't be surprised if it was called in by Captain Arfacio.
[10:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Scrythi are usually flock
[10:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "What is it doing all the way out here, and by itself?
[10:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She's pretty buddy buddy with their leader, though.
[10:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain I suggest we hail her
[10:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Agree
[10:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:She should be in burst text range
[10:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I can send a general hail, see what they're doing.
[10:14][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:As are we T'Ghor,,the Scrthi have not forgottenour role in aiding their species recove
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle hail the Scyrithi ship and ask them to state their reason for being out here.
[10:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye ma'am." *She began composing the text-based message.
[10:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I don't mind having extra alliance ship's around...but the timing seems perculiar.
[10:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We've received a reply... just one word. 'Help.'
[10:15][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:The presence of the Scyrithi might aid in getting through to the Aroteans that they are on the wrong side captai
[10:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He scans the new arrival.
[10:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that seems ambiguous..are they here to help or do they need help?
[10:16][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-blinks- Help
[10:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "...I can request clarification, but that's all we got.
[10:17][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Seemslike ablunt answer to their purpose beingout her
[10:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"please request clarifiaction.
[10:17][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:The way you phrased your question skippe
[10:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye ma'am." *More texting boop boop boop.
[10:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"If they are here to help they may be able to make progress diplomatically where we could not.
[10:18][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- My earlier poin
[10:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Doubtful
[10:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Reply is coming in... 'Ship damaged. Flock attacked. Need help.'
[10:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..hopfully they are not here to compound our problems.
[10:19][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:That is what i get for assuming..
[10:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"and of course they are here to make my headache worse..
[10:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Enigma should be able to handle an aid operation
[10:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "I'm sure it was all their idea, ma'am.
[10:20][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Helm..ETA to their positon at best possible speed
[10:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle Alert the Enigma. Helm plot an intercept course.
[10:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Enigma is better equipped, I agree with Aquila.
[10:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We'd better jump down the arotheans' throats.
[10:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "If we leave orbit with the Aroteans, they may see it as us taking them and running.
[10:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--sighs-- "Fine send the Enigma..
[10:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--slumps down in her chair.-
[10:21][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-shakes her head- brilliantly don
[10:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye, ma'am..." *She sent a message off.
[10:21][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:they just peeled away our suppor
[10:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Who wants to bet they were attacked by Tanausans...
[10:22][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Even money Ere
[10:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Course it was the tanausans. Them or the Chantry.
[10:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They seem to be butt buddies.
[10:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Enigma is departing, ma'am. Arfacio says not to do anything she wouldn't do.
[10:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:She would glass planet. So that leaves a large range of actions
[10:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "That may have been the joke." *She smirked.
[10:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...Those instructiosn do seem to give us a great deal of latitude.
[10:24][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We are going to need such no
[10:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Quite... they haven't responded to us, too, I should point out.
[10:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "The Aroteans, I mean.
[10:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"They likily are not...
[10:25][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They are posturing. as far as the tanusans and chantry know the Mjolnir is still cloaked out there in range to support
[10:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Let's hope they don't decide to call our bluff, then.
[10:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..I guess the question comes down to is just how willing to committ to total war are the Chantry and their freinds?
[10:26][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Over this planet
[10:26][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We have been at 'war' with the Apostates since our arriva
[10:26][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Not likely. Mor elikely to trigger a doomsday device on the...
[10:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I am certain they are trying to goad us into one.
[10:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] *He sniffed.
[10:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:T'ghor
[10:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes over this planet...which would be as good an excuse as any of they are spoiling for a fight.
[10:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah?
[10:27][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Wejust have bug lulls in the fightin
[10:27][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:big
[10:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Have you detected any power buildups since we've been in orbit, even a small constant one
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..And consistently the Apostates have paid a price Valkriss..
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Everything has looked pretty normal on my scans so far. But I will double check for something small enough to be missed.
[10:28][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-to T'Pang- So did the Acriman
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nah... everything looks normal.
[10:28][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Look for exotic particle emissions, something way out of spec for their tech level
[10:29][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I may point out sch devices may be being stored under Veryscium location
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You have to remember that there is a...
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He points to Valkriss
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"There are large veracysium blind spots in places.
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--true-- "But I am trying to understand the thought process here. A big part of strtegy is trying to anticipate an opponants future moves
[10:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "...How large, exactly? I doubt we saw that whole facility.
[10:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She checked her scans.
[10:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Bout this big." *He sends his scans to ERen
[10:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Anything would need to be outside of such a thing to actually cause damage to the planet unless. the veracysium was a shield over something buried deeper
[10:31][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. They can always mess with the planet's deeper layers.
[10:31][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Plus... they could always have it automated to pop itself out somehow.
[10:31][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:..or just throw asteroids again
[10:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or simply detonate in the core. An Antimatter device
[10:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] *She paused for a moment.* "Maybe something geothermal..." *She murmured as she tapped away at her sensors.
[10:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That would destroy the planet but not us
[10:32][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-shudders at the thought brought up by Marcus
[10:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But if the planet suddenly exploded while we are in orbit.... Odds of us reacting are much lower
[10:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It would look great on their propaganda too.
[10:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Could blame us
[10:32][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Very much s
[10:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"So is the planet going to blow up?
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I cannot say for certain without a full view of the planet, Captain.
[10:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "What would be the point of that... wouldn't they stripmine them for resources and then turn them into red goo?
[10:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"And what would you need for that Lieutenant?
[10:35][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I do not know abou the Tanausians..but the Chantry only seems tro exterminate the native population...not destroy the world as a whole
[10:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Two hours... bit odd of a time to set, don't you think?
[10:35][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:So there is tha
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"seems rather arbitrary..unless they are waiting two hourse for something to happen?
[10:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "The Tanausans are conquerors. They exterminate after they've used a population as far as they believe they can.
[10:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They've suffered a lot of PR failures lately. Sacrificing one farm world is not to terrible of a sacrifice if they could use it to frighten other worlds into avoiding us
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Shrugs to the captain.* "Better tech." *He then nods to Aquila.
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Their propaganda needs a win.
[10:37][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:So they are of like minds then
[10:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Could be why they've become Super Best Friends. Similar methods.
[10:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Destroying a starship that has plagued the Tanusans would merely be bonus.
[10:37][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:But to lose a entirte world of resources..is it a win for them? ..for their whacko goddess maybe..but to their people
[10:38][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They don't think about their people, don't be dumb.
[10:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Mm... but do remember Acrima.
[10:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"remember these people are religious fanatics and do not think rationally.
[10:38][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-snaps her head around to T'Ghor- Mind that tone miste
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Commander.
[10:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Decimation.
[10:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Ma'am, whatever we're going to do, I should note that we'll be at the two hour mark in ten minutes.
[10:39][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:is a misnomar..decimationm initially meant..oneout of every ten..or ten perecen
[10:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"one dies so nine learn discipline. in the end.. discord is quelled.
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...that was a short two hours.
[10:39][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Marcus
[10:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Sorry ma'am, guess you were having too much fun.
[10:40][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They would place this world as one of potentially 10 or more.
[10:40][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"there is not much to do...we wait for the deadline to pass and see what they do.
[10:41][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-to marcus- Maddnes
[10:41][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:but effectiv
[10:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:5 chantry vessels on long range scopes
[10:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They are observing
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Headed this way?
[10:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No
[10:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Holding at the edge of sensor range
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fuck, I hate Chantry.
[10:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Atleast what they perscieve as a our sensor range
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesing.
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "They're getting their seats.
[10:42][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:If there is awormhole here...a Tansasusian squadron could just appea
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"See, that's the bad thing... They cna just tear them open.
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We can't foresee it early enough, not yet.
[10:43][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Hence our newfound audienc
[10:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "They need a probe to open it on this side, though, don't th---" *She paused.
[10:43][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Thank you, I but honestly, I feel ok.. I"m going to go back medical. Same time next week?" *Doc disengages from the counseler nd heads back to her office
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The chantry can always provide that.
[10:44][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looks over at Eren
[10:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "What's the position of that probe the Chantry left..." *She started scanning around.
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He tries to help Eren
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the probe in orbit?

[11:42][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"We are turning the tide of the conflict, but...
[11:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Dammit, they are getting bolder every day...
[11:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fucking great...
[11:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "It appears that the Tanausans were setting up in a nearby system to attack the Kzari homeworld.
[11:43][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"There are other technologically advanced, many more advanced than us who are aligned with the Dark.
[11:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"the attack was thwarted, correct?
[11:43][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:That explains where the hell everyone else has bee
[11:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "Correct, Captain, reports of unconventional warfare appears to have stopped the threat.
[11:44][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Who stopped them Maura
[11:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he pulle dup a sector map
[11:44][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"They have different tactics. They like to work in the shadows, and create slave races, often through religious zelotry. Whispers in the dark to make it seem like the ideas are your own peoples,
[11:44][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"when it is them guiding you to their benefit.
[11:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "ACCI reports indicate that the former crew of the U.S.S. Protector were engaged in a training exercise in Kzari space. They appear to have taken on..." *he peered at the ACCI.* "That..
[11:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:cannot be accurate.
[11:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hm?
[11:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] *He forwarded the reports to T'Pang and Valkriss.
[11:45][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looks them over and links as she reads and the..laughs!
[11:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The Protector? Those...people? I suppose they know a thing or two about unconventional..
[11:46][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-laughing- We were worried about blowingup a single world...the protector's crew..blew up a su
[11:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I have a theory on what they want the Aroteans for given the new information
[11:47][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Our goal is to bring people into partnership and freely work together. Theirs, if you do not submit, they very often will destroy cities, or even whole populations. They are working on a time scal
[11:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks over the report.-- "..they destroyed an entire star system in the process. At leat it was uninhabited.
[11:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He laughs
[11:47][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-senmds the data on how they did it to Marcus, T'Ghor and Eren to review
[11:48][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Go ahead Marcus...whatis your theory
[11:48][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:in millions of years, they don't really think of things as day to day. They are willing to be patient and wait for a new population to grow rather than deal with insurrection.
[11:48][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*marcus overlayed several attack routes
[11:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Starts reading up on it.
[11:48][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*and then shot the map to the screen
[11:48][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-looks over to the new map
[11:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...subspace weapons? I thought they were banned? Perhaps no here in the LMC?
[11:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Many of the routes cut through or came close to the Arotean system.
[11:49][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Midway...
[11:49][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The Arotean system is heavy in minerals necessary fro ship building with a large populatio
[11:49][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- Strategic importance..as well as industrial base
[11:49][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It would be the forward stagin position and shipbuilding hub
[11:50][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nikka] "That sounds... horrendous. How can you even fight against someone like that?
[11:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that would make sense that the Chantry are interested in resources and slave labor to build their weapons of war.
[11:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "And to build and repair ships as they come and go from Kzari space.
[11:50][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:and the system is a spear point.
[11:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Not to menation Deacon
[11:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:and other ground forces
[11:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Eren] "Maybe even experimenting with... say, Arotean-driven tanks?
[11:51][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Should the Kzari Regime fall..they hold this entire secto
[11:51][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Make friends, spread the truth, learn all we can and fight with all we have when we need to. I won't lie, it's been a few years and while we make progress and have freed a lot of worlds,
[11:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--shakes her head-
[11:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"The decapitaton strike has failed.
[11:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Now the slow march of war will begin.
[11:51][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:can't answer your question fully. It is a very big conflict, I am just doing my small part, I am a healer.
[11:52][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:always a plan B...cleve
[11:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Finding this offshoot may be even more important now.
[11:52][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Captain this needs to be sent to teh Admiral as soon as possibl
[11:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I think we have lot bigger issues than it. Fuck the offshoot.
[11:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If the offshoto was really the warrior caste of the society
[11:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i will contact command, they may have update orders for us ... if not we continue on with our current mission.
[11:53][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim came out of warp near the Enigma and the little Scyrthi ship.*
[11:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They may not even still be alive. While we have a very real and living problem right here.
[11:53][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"the reason I'm telling you this... we were just forced to pull away from your planet by overwhelming numbers of the Dark's forces. The same ones that have been seeding your population with dogma.
[11:53][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nikka] "...I see," *she said in a small voice.
[11:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..Gayle hail the enigma.
[11:53][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:We will see what or orders are Misterr T'gho
[11:54][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"We hope, that by doing so, it will avoid them bombarding the planet from orbit.
[11:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Yes one that we will not beat through a conventional means one command carrier is the equivalent of the entire avenger taskforce.
[11:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Arfacio came on the screen.* "T'Pang, good to see you made it out of there without any scrapes. We miss anything?
[11:54][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:After that strike attempt on Kzar...we aere not goingto be only ship deployed down her
[11:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"You only missed us getting evicted from the system. The Chantry made it clear they did not want us playng in their sand box. I decide not to press the issue at this time.
[11:55][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I think I have the best outcome programmed. Do I have your permission to begin treatment?
[11:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "It may be for the best, all things considered. It looks like this sandbox just got a lot more hostile. I'm sure Compton's going to want to pull us back for now.
[11:57][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nikka] "If you really think you can help her... please, do it. We're out of options back home.
[11:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am going to contact command and advise them of the situation out here, given the attempted attack on the Kzari homeworld Compton may have new orders for us.
[11:58][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Nurse, be sure the patiant is sedated for the entire treatment... and maintain containment while the radiation decontamination is completed." *she uses the bio bed gravity confinment to hold her...
[11:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "I'll leave you to it, then. The Scyrthi were ambushed by Tanausans, by the way, but... I assume you already figured that one out.
[11:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How bad were they hit?
[11:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we assumed they were attacked to draw off our support.
[11:59][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*she connects the IV band to the patient's leg* "Computer, begin treatment regimine as programmed. Alert me of any changes.
[11:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "There were four ships in their flock, only one made it out. They don't know if the others were destroyed or captured, could be a little of both like they did with the Anhui.
[12:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We should head to their last known location and investigate.
[12:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "I was thinking the same thing. We can head over while you talk with Compton."
[12:02][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Walking Nikka out of the OR* "Part of the reason for telling you about all this, is because you will see a great number of different species of sentient life forms. Probably more than you eve
[12:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Acknowledged, we head over..maybe we get lucky and there are some survivors.

[12:02][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nikka] "Don't worry... I'm not going to faint like my mother did.

[12:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...Helm form up with the Enigma and follow her lead.
[12:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Aye aye.
[12:03][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"It was a shock, I don't blame her. Learning that your little corner of existance that was your whole universe in your mind is but a spec of sand in desert the size of a your world... it's overwhel
[12:04][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:overwhelming.
