[6:08][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** STAR TREK: PILGRIM *
[6:09][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Once more, the title screen gives way to the gleaming jewel of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Citadel remains much as they left it; organized chaos, the hopes and woes of a war still only..
[6:10][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:freshly ended, a convergence of disparate races the likes of which had not been seen for two million years. There are more Imperium races seen there now, the more cerulean-hued still receiving..
[6:10][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:side-eyes from the others. Once more, the Pilgrim is counted among the ships in the docking line, gleaming and pristine as if made new again
[6:11][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Once more, we are drawn back into the cosmic dance. T’Pang’s log begins… *
[6:11][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang stands on an upper balconey looking down on the Citadel promenade-
[6:13][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Captain's Log, Stardate 100614,77. The Pilgrim and crew and has been recalled to the LMC and the Citadel. I have been here for a few hours now and must admit it feels a lot like coming home
[6:15][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:FRom what information i have received so far the Pilgrim is to receive new crew members and we are scheduled for a briefing. There we should be update on what we missed suring out nearly two month
[6:16][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:away from the LMC and receive our new orders. I must say returning to action in the LMC agrees with me. End Log.
[6:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*On the Promenade, one could see a brown-haired denobulan woman practically sprinting for the lift with her arms full of PADDs.* "Out of the way!
[6:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila steppe dback
[6:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] "Thaaaank you!" *She chimed even as she sped past.
[6:19][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'pang leans on the railing, looking out over the controlled chaos that is the Citadel promenade.-
[6:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"No problem.
[6:19][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-checks in with her embassy to let them know she has returned, and once she has reported in returns to the chaos of the promenade and the increase in armed and armored starfleet security of the 41st.
[6:20][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-Almost missing the harried Denobulen, she steps aside just in time to avoid being trambled
[6:20][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor had gone towards his lab, seeking the non-pilgrim members of his project.
[6:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] "Sorry, short stuff, duty calls!" *She clamored onto the lift.
[6:22][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks but does let her eyes linger to ensure the officer made it to th elift once reassured she moved to the railing and looked down over the choas of refugees and the increased presence of Imperiu
[6:22][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:races
[6:22][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*T'Ghor would find a notice on the lab stating that it was currently off-limits.
[6:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Upon examination, the woman had a yellow stripe and a Lt Commander's pips on her collar.
[6:25][DOIC3]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, shit." *He sent a text to his team asking about updates on Allaya and headed back down towards the promenade.
[6:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Simirian] *There was a woman nearby standing on a little box and calling out to anyone who would listen.* "Do not believe the NTS' lies! They want to restore us to the old ways, the ways of..
[6:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Tanausan dominance!
[6:26][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang checks the time on her PADD and decides she probably has enough time for a quick drink in the lounge before the briefing. So she tucks the PADD up under her arm and turns and heads there.-
[6:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-looks over to the woman, and goes over to her- Vhat ist the NTS
[6:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Simirian] "Have you not heard? The New Tanausan States! Their so-called Lord Protector claims to offer a new way forward, but he is Tanausan at the end of the day, and his Nirizean allies only..
[6:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:hope to make themselves the second in the line of hierarchy in the reordering!
[6:28][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--pauses as she notices the Simirian street preacher. She watches a few moments as Elise engages with the woman before continuing on her way.-
[6:28][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-frowns some- I see...und he actually uses the title..Lord Protector
[6:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor stopped to listen to the preacher as well.
[6:28][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to 'Science'
[6:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Simirian] "He does! He may claim this 'Elysia' entity bestowed it upon him, but do not believe it! He controls her just as the Emperor once did!
[6:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Nothing controls Elysia...she is finally fre
[6:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Simirian] "Are you so certain of that, Kzari?

[6:31][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang enters the lounge and approaches the bar-- "Vulcan spice teas please.
[6:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Simirian] "Pray that you are right, Kzari, because elsewise a doom even worse than the Great Retrograde will befall not only our worlds, but yours.
[6:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods his head to Elise.
[6:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She would sooner rip his throat out than let him control her.
[6:33][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--as she gets her drink she takes a sip and turns to look out toward the promenade.-
[6:33][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks and nods to T'Ghor- Indeed und as for me, the Kzari fear nothing of the kind..ve shall fight it as ve always do...ve vere born to fight off the dar
[6:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] *A massive woman appeared then.* "Doesn't matter if Lord Protector Twat controls her! Just means we have one more reason to kick their asses!" *She laughed.
[6:34][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-points at the Latejo- Now she..gets i
[6:34][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Fight und fight some more. Freedom ist never free...peace ist just the time needed to reload
[6:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Simirian] "You Children of the Nymati don't know what you're dealing with!
[6:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That she does." *He nods to the Latejo.
[6:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Children of the Nymati? I suppose our message got out then." *He grinned to Elise.
[6:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "Course we do, that's why we're fighting those pricks still." *She nodded once to T'Ghor.* "You're the one that found the sword, weren't you?
[6:36][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles and nods to T'Ghpr- So it vould seem my friend..so i vould seem

[6:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "Hell, you're all legends. The warchiefs talk about you like you could do anything.
[6:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "And that makes you alright in my book." *She punched T'Ghor in the arm. Hard.
[6:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles at hearing this but lets T'Ghor take lead here
[6:38][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*approaches t'pang
[6:38][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain
[6:38][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Noddded to the Latejo.* "Right-" *He got punched, and returned with his own klingon punch to her shoulder, grinning.
[6:38][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Damn, you right near popped my arm out." *He grinned approvingly.
[6:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] *She laughed as she was punched.* "That one almost hurt!" *She grinned back at him.* "You on the station long?
[6:39][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Aquila, welcome back to the LMC. Seems a lot has changed in the short time we were gone.
[6:39][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks and mutters something
[6:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Unknown as of yet, but probably not. Got a briefing in a bit, so we'll probably be sent ancestors know where.
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "Oh, I got an idea. You left a real mess when you popped the Emperor, I imagine all the new faction leaders want to have a word with you. Except maybe the Imperialists, they probably..
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:just want to shoot you.
[6:40][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-chuckled
[6:40][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Yes.
[6:40][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I ma sure we will hear more.
[6:40][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Vell then ve shall shoot them bac
[6:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He laughed at the idea.* "Oh, we'll give them a warm introduction if they try anything.
[6:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "Hell yes! I'd be right there with you but, got my own fight. Maybe we'll face them down at the same time some day. Soon, I hope.
[6:41][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "i am sure we will get all the details at the breifing.
[6:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah, your own fight? Where are you stationed?
[6:41][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It would seem valkriss has her own ship now.
[6:41][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-stage whispers - Get her Kontact information Scienc
[6:41][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Do you still want me to remain as your EXO?
[6:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I swear I'll toss you like a javelin to the other side of the promenade, weaps.
[6:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "We've taken over Brulla, and are still working on Dontas. Killed the Tannie bastards that used to hold us prisoner there, put the ones that surrendered into their own damn cages.
[6:42][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he was blunt and to the point.
[6:42][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"She deserves it, command suits her. I am however a bit saddened knowing she wont return as my XO.
[6:42][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-folds her hands behind her back in a modified position of at ease and tries to look sweetly innocent
[6:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor grinned approvingly.* "The brothers of Brulla will be happy with that. Damn fine job. T'ghor, but you already know me." *He grinned.* "You?
[6:43][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he listened
[6:44][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"and yes, i intend to keep you in that position...unless you also inytend to leave."
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "Of course they are, who do you think's leading us as warchiefs? Midarel's lording over Brulla now, Razach is leading the charge to Dontas.
[6:44][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-listens as a benused 'wingman' should now that she has assumed such a role
[6:44][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"No I have no such plans.
[6:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Latejo] "Faline dzo-Revaak hu-Brulla. Well met." *She punched him again.

[6:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor barely held back a stumble and punched back with a grin.
[6:45][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods her approval
[6:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hell. Can't even begin to imagine those guys as warmasters. Still remember Aquila kicking their asses into shape.
[6:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They've come a long way.
[6:46][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well then that settles that one. Don't get me wrong, i fully expect that some day they will offer you a command as well. A role you will fulfill as well as your father i believe.
[6:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Faline] "Everyone ages out of that phase eventually. Well, Midarel has, Razach has still got the berserker rage in his blood.
[6:46][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I could hope so, but I am young still with much to learn.
[6:47][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"And eager to learn what you can teach me.
[6:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Faline] "But it serves them both well. One to lead, one to fight.

[6:50][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes, the peace between wars can often be the most difficult tot deal with.
[6:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He hit his badge to acknowledge the message.* "Well, it seems you'll have to continue later. Duty calls." *He held his PADD out so she could snap hers to it and get his data.
[6:50][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods her approval
[6:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Faline] *She smirked and did just that.* "If not, I'll see you on the battlefield, T'Ghor of Pilgrim.
[6:51][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed. Shall we Captian
[6:52][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods as she sets down her drink-- "Yes, lets go find out what we are in for on this tour.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hopefully on the same side, dzo-Revaak hu-Brulla. I'd hate to get on the wrong side of those fists." *He grinned and nodded, heading out.

[6:52][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-bows her head to Faline and follows T'Ghor
[6:52][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she turns to leave for the breifing-
[6:53][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-to T'Ghor once they had some distance- See? You did vell..I am proud of you
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Thanks, science... but I could have handled it." *He grinned.
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:(Weaps* derp
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang makes her way through the promenade-
[6:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Could not," *she smirked as she appeared next to them on the walk over.
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You don't even know what we're talking about.

[6:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I could have had my pick on Beryxia if I wanted to. There were a lot of shapely golden girls with klingon kaps.
[6:55][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Und..vhat happened
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I did not want to. But I signed some tits. And got my nipples pierced. Long story.

[6:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*takes a seat
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Arriving at the briefing room, they would find the Denobulan from earlier seated at the end of the table, rapidly flipping through her PADD. Doctor Aiten was also there, as was an unfamiliar..
[6:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Andorian thaan with a resting bitch face so severe that even Cousins would have asked him to lighten up.
[6:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang made note of the unfamiliar faces, especially the Andorian whom she was sure she wasn't going to like. But, not that was old prejudices talking, right?-
[6:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He took a seat and rolled his eyes at Elise, not saying anything further.
[6:59][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-enters full professional mode now as she sits
[6:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Andorian] "You're here. Good. I am Commander Koth th'Shreral of the 41st, I'll be leading this briefing today.

[7:01][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin eyed the others
[7:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] *He nodded once to Aquila.
[7:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Our first item; executive officer. As I'm certain you've heard, Commander Valkriss has been granted her own command, and will not be returning to service under you, Captain.
[7:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Is it your intention to keep Lieutenant Commander Aquila as your XO?
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Such is my intention yes.
[7:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] *he made a note crisply on his PADD.* "Then it is now official. Congratulations, Lieutenant Commander.
[7:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] *She seemed to be only half paying attention, still on her PADD.
[7:03][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-eyed Ish back a little as she listens
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--Makes a note to herself on her PADD to send congratuations to Valkriss on her command. She wonders what an appropriate gift would be.-
[7:04][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-after which watches Mollax a little more than Koth at the moment
[7:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Second item of business. Your CMO, Doctor Delancey, has transferred to the Citadel. Next in the ranks on your vessel is Doctor Sil Aiten; he will now serve as your CMO for the forseeable..

[7:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--Gives Aiten a nod-
[7:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Aiten] "It's a role I've fulfilled before. I'll do my utmost to fill the gap left by Doctor Delancey's absence.

[7:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns and looks at the Denobulan officerr.-- "The position is yours commander. I look forward to serving with you.
[7:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] "I've got an R&D background, but I've worked on starships before and-- oh! Thank you! So do I!" *She smiled a little too widely for comfort.
[7:11][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-wants to ask if Li hurt himself somehow
[7:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "And I believe that was it for any significant crew changes, unless you had any requests, Captain?
[7:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well You may find serving on an active starship quite a change of pace from research and development. But, i trust you will adapt to your new situation.
[7:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] "I'm very adaptable, yes, Captain." *She nodded.
[7:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "a good trait for an engineer.

[7:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "...I will take that as a no. To the meat of the briefing, then." *He touched a button, showing a holographic map of the Tanausan territories over the table. They had been sectioned into..
[7:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:four quadrants, two large making up multiple planets each, with Duhelen alone in red and Brulla and Dontas paired in grey.
[7:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Sorry commander, i have no requests for crew at this time.
[7:19][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:I am sure you need not apologize my Kaptain -said evenly
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "This is the state of what used to be the Tanausan Imperium. Four factions have sprung up in that time, two claiming loyalties to the Dawn Alliance, one offering peace with us in exchange..
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:for our enduring aid to their Retrograde-ravaged planets, and one still claiming Imperium.
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--studied the holo display intently as she listened to the briefing-
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "First we have the New Tanausan States. They have allied with the entity you encountered, Elysia, and have been more swift to recover with her aid than the rest of them. They claim to..

[7:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:seek a new way forward for the Tanausan people and for the former so-called 'subraces.' So far they have kept to their word, but it is early in the game still.
[7:24][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:..not possible -shakes her head some
[7:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Pardon?

[7:26][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"The Tanausans are currently divided. She is working with the ones that are seaking to atone.
[7:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "They are not Imperium, only Tanausan.

[7:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He hummed, intrigued now.
[7:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "One of the few... at least semi honorable Tanausan captains we ever met. I guess his bid to sell part of his soul for that information won out for him.

[7:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Speaking of which commander has the Dawn Alliance attempted to open formal diplomatic relations with any of these factions?
[7:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Thus far, they are in control of Tanausa, Orwyke, Catada, Crudana, Eirmin and Gerada.

[7:32][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-slowly nods...there it is
[7:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting.
[7:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "That is part of why you have been asked to return before the rest of your fleet. Your crew is integral to our continued efforts in the former Imperium worlds.
[7:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Every faction leader, sans the Imperialists, has requested an audience with you.
[7:33][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Do we know who leads them?
[7:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I will put down good money on imperialists trying to stage an assassination of Son or someone and framing it on us...
[7:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "We do. The next major faction calls themselves the Dawn Heralds.
[7:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "They have petitioned for protectorate status directly from the Dawn Alliance. They do not trust the NTS or Lord Protector Son; they are made up mostly of non-Tanausans, and they fear a..
[7:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:slip back into the old ways if they do not establish their own, separate state.
[7:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "We remain in negotiations with them. Their leader, Iso Denataure, is known to you; he was brought aboard the Pilgrim along with the rest of Hyrial dzo-Massadan hu-Brulla's ill-fated..
[7:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:rebellion.
[7:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "I'm told he beat out Ain Laudrenate by a very slim margin... some old predjudices remain for hybrids, it would appear.
[7:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That is unfortunate Ain would have made a fine leader.
[7:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "That was our stance as well, but Denataure is an acceptable runner-up. He has spent the last few years on the Citadel advocating for his people, we believe we can work with him.
[7:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Regardless, they've made their capitol on Simiria, with Zypenia, Varna, Hyphae, Sorone, and Revinia following them.
[7:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Simiria and Tanausa are next door neighbors, that may prove a challenge if the Heralds and the NTS remain at odds.
[7:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Actually its an advantage.,
[7:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Hostilitlies likely see both capitals annhilated.
[7:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Mutually assured destruction can maintain a fragile peace.
[7:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Certainly the threat of mutual anniliation has historically proven to be a strong deterent to full scale war.
[7:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Perhaps..." *She still frowned slightly.
[7:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Still, the need for resources may prove too great.
[7:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "That is our hope. At least it may keep them from each other's throats for the time being while the chaos is fully sorted out.
[7:44][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Civil var.,...-shakes her head
[7:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Still it is my hope we can ward off any troubles through a stong diplomatic effort.
[7:45][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to the XO- Such givesus a vindow for such diplomac
[7:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "That is why we're sending you, Captain. Regardless, the next faction, controlling the world of Duhelen, is the Imperialists. We doubt they have any intention to stick to Duhelen, however..
[7:46][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to her captain
[7:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:or that they have not already begun attempts to creep back into the rest of the former Imperium states.
[7:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "While the Retrograde was devastating, their knowledge of the systems they lost remains in the minds of their engineers. There are already some ships back in action, maintaining a perimeter.
[7:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:around the last truly Imperial world.
[7:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"these imperialist have not expressed any interest in meeting?
[7:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "They are lead by Emperor Pyr's eldest living son, who has styled himself as Prince Regent in light of his father and most of the council's enduring absence.
[7:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Not as of yet, no.
[7:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"they could prove to be problematic.
[7:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "We believe they will be. The situation is being monitored.
[7:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods slowly-
[7:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"How strong are they militarily?
[7:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I mean, if they really start slipping back to the old Imperium way, won't Elysia just blast them again?
[7:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Is anything really stopping us from sending in someone to mop them up?
[7:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Genocide is not an answer if the people freely elect to stay in such a government the nature of the prime directive applies.
[7:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "As I said, we're monitoring the situation." *He nodded to Aquila with that.
[7:51][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to Marcus comment
[7:51][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Choic
[7:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "They've engaged in no hostilities toward us thus far.
[7:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "And finally, we have the Children of the Nymati.
[7:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He was about to answer something, but clicked his tongue and said nothing.
[7:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "They are primarily Latejo, though some from the other formerly subjugated races have joined individually. They've overthrown any semblance of Tanausan control over Brulla, freed the..
[7:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:prisoners there, and placed the surviving Tanausans in the same prison cells that they once occupied, themselves.
[7:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "At present they are also doing the same to the prison world of Dontas.
[7:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor grinned widely.* "Good on them.
[7:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *she nodded in agreement with T'Ghor.
[7:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "They've taken the discovery you made about their people's origins to heart, it would seem. Their intention is to become a free people under their own governance, as well as uncovering the..
[7:57][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:history of their race that has been obfuscated by the veil of years.
[7:57][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Gud for them -nods
[7:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] "Brulla was glassed and Dontas is not much better. If they want a state that survives long-term they're going to need more worlds than that.
[7:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] "...One that can sustain agricultural ventures." *She shrugged and went back to her PADD.
[7:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She smirked.* "Someone did her homework." *She nodded to the denobulan.
[8:00][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-whispers to T'Ghor
[8:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Perhaps. But for now, we monitor the situation and provide aid where requested. The Children are lead by two Latejo you should all be very aware of by now.
[8:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Midarel dzo-Estari hu-Brulla is currently acting as warchief of Brulla, and Razach dzo-Caroga hu-Brulla is leading the charge to take Dontas.
[8:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting.
[8:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "...Apparently. Regardless, you've been requested to speak with Warchief Midarel at your earliest convenience as well.
[8:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "We leave the order that you seek them out to your own discretion, but we do expect you to meet with all of them when you return to Imperium space.
[8:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "...Formerly imperium space," *he corrected himself.
[8:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"With all this travel, have we been given additional benamite rezerves?
[8:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"As well what is the state of the fleets within the Former Imperium with regards to FTL travel?
[8:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "You've had your allocation increased accordingly. However, you may not have to travel far; the Orzaul gate is currently being repositioned closer to Citadel space. As for the fleets, they.
[8:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:remain mostly without FTL, but we expect that to change soon. As I said, the technology vanished, but the knowledge of their engineers did not. They simply have to have some ingenuity.
[8:06][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles hearing the gate is coming closer..so the sisters and Eirene will have a new friend to keep company
[8:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "We do know that at least Lord Protector Son's flagship has had its FTL capabilities restored.
[8:07][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:a command carrier of course..Ja
[8:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"What sort of aid has the alliance authorized to give any of these factions. Or will that depend on how our diplomatic trip goes?
[8:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"So basically right now we are dealing with regional powers unable to project. Our ability to maintian this peace may have a time limit.
[8:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Indeed. And we remain working with the Dawn Heralds in assisting with the recovery of their worlds.
[8:08][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to the xo's comment
[8:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "The rest... depends upon you, T'Pang.
[8:09][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:..Kaptain T'Pang -corrects softly
[8:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"understood.
[8:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Now then. Are there any additional questions?
[8:10][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Son's flagship...vith rstored FTL capabilities...ist a command carrier
[8:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I don't believe so Commander, your breifing was quite thourough.
[8:11][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-stops as T'Pang says this
[8:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Indeed. It would appear he exchanged his Marauder for one that had been set adrift.
[8:11][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to Koth
[8:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor gave Elise a look.
[8:12][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-returns the look to T'Ghor
[8:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Well, then, if there are no further queries, I will release you all. You depart in the morning. If there is anything else you require, simply reach out to me.
[8:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] "Dismissed.
[8:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at her officers-- "if anyone has any questions now would be the time to ask.
[8:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] *His gaze was drawn directly at the camera.
[8:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she stands up and nods at the commander-- "Thank you commander.
[8:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] "I'm an engineer, I don't need to know these things." *She shrugged and got up to leave with the dismissal.
[8:14][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks and collects her padd and rises
[8:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] *He stared after the Denobulan like he wished that he could shoot lasers from his antennae.
[8:15][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor shook his head to say no questions.
[8:16][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I'll se to it the ship is prepared for departure captain
[8:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She rose from her seat.* "Back to work we go," *she smiled as she sashayed out.
[8:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you Mister Aquila.
[8:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Aiten] *He also got up to leave.
[8:17][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-turns to T'Ghor- Do not forget your dat
[8:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor stood up and sighed, looking at Elise.* "Just once, I wish we're asked to look at some curious ruins or something.
[8:17][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Vhat..und have you do your job
[8:18][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:This ist a varship ..ist it not? -teases him
[8:18][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Better than having to look at someone you want to shoot and being unable to shoot.
[8:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang grabs her PADD and heads out-
[8:19][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Ve just shoot zhe
[8:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Koth] *He took his PADD and departed before his growing migraine could get any worse.
[8:19][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:easier polic
[8:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He grinned at Elise.* "I wish.
[8:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor stepped out.
[8:20][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Join the Starnznavy T'Ghor....learn to use science o shoot people vho vill not listento reason -jokes
[8:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Don't tempt me.
[8:22][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-chuckles- There ist a reason ve have been a power for twomillions yeards..in one form or anothe
[8:22][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As our heroes filed out of the conference room, now knowing at least some of what they were up against in the weeks to come, the credits began to roll.*
