[8:40][DOIC]Shantal@Arniman:Captain's Log, supplimental -as she casually is walking the halls below decks
[8:41][DOIC]Shantal@Arniman:It has been some 20 hours since our encounter with a less than friendly unknown race shortly after we had aquired our latest guest on board
[8:42][DOIC]Shantal@Arniman:Our further investigation yielding little of note, other than confirming our guest made the harrowing escape in her pod while in slipstream transit, she is still resting and as yet we have not bee

[8:44][DOIC]Shantal@Arniman:Sentinel remains on alter status, though by now should be uncloaked as were are new out assigned patrol point to take over from the Howar forces present
[8:45][DOIC]Shantal@Arniman:While our trick may have given our new unfriendly the slip for now, I have a feeling we will encounter them again, sooner rather than later...Lady willing maybe they will actually try civil dialo

[8:46][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:*Varel was at her post, meticulously scanning the area around them for any signs of sneaky ships.
[8:47][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--Spencer is busy going over Alice's medical chart.-
[8:48][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Morten] -wors at his console coordinating with Decia the extend patrols about he high security areas of the ship
[8:48][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"How is this even possible?
[8:48][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:Sery, who are we doing on narrowing down the suspected location system
[8:49][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Well that is insteresting
[8:49][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Kept an eye on her own scanners as well, quietly fidgeting with her sleeves, then her hands... just pretty much anything.
[8:49][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -from her office doorway- How is what evenposs?
[8:49][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon is quietly manning his station.
[8:49][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she input the new crooss references with the yanda data
[8:49][DOIC2]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Sery] Oh Yngrid is so very close i think..she is currently compiling eivdence from some obscurte allied files we got from eiren
[8:49][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Something that I am not currently at liberty to discuss...you know doctor patient confidentiality and all..
[8:49][DOIC2]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Sery] She knows her geology that isd for sur
[8:50][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -smiles- But I am a docto
[8:50][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:Good, good...keep me appised
[8:50][DOIC2]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Sery] I believe she is very close to doing that veyr thing skippe
[8:51][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] -continues to monitor the ACCI feeds getting themost recentudates on the Kzari civil war
[8:51][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"right, well call it a consult...which is the truth. I need your take on this. In my office now.
[8:51][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*double checks
[8:51][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--heads into her office.-
[8:51][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Yes... that isn't well normally possible
[8:51][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:-arrives in the main chapel and attends to the personalized, compliled theology construsted shrine..
[8:52][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-Black skips inf ollowing her
[8:52][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Commander Cameron, I believe I may have a potential area of interest to look into with regards to our new contacts area of operation
[8:52][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she turned to alice
[8:52][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-KJrika is busy looking after the newly arrived patient
[8:52][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--after Black enters she closes the door and lowers the blinds.-
[8:53][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -does not imediately respond as she seems to belost in her PADD full of systems reports
[8:53][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--she turns and looks at Black.-- "You are familiar with Alice Cameron's true nature...correct?
[8:53][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -hjops up onto Billies desk edge and crosses her legs- So wahtcha got
[8:53][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Running sensor sweeps up the area and fine tuning them as needed.
[8:53][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Commander
[8:53][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Yes..well not exactly this exact iteration..but ch
[8:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she kinda approaches over the back awning
[8:54][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -blinks and looks up unsure who just called her=- Um..yes?
[8:54][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"...appraently the interation capable of reproduction..
[8:54][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Varel roll pls..
[8:54][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--hands Black the PADD
[8:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:That analysis for the location to look into I think I have it
[8:55][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Take a look at the latest workup.
[8:55][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -shakes her head ac cepting the PADD- Nooooo...so doesnt work that way Mah Dud
[8:55][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:We should alert the captain I think Commander, I may have us a target
[8:55][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:-puts her hand on the main centerpiece..the blacked, chared hull plateing she had aquired from the old Sentinel's destruction...and looks lost in her own thoughts a moment
[8:55][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"...it doesn't? That data seems to contradict you.
[8:55][DOIC2]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-she senses a mild presence behind her as she does so
[8:56][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -blinks again refocuses herprofessional demeanor restiored- yes..how accurate would you piosit this guess
[8:57][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -blinks as she studies it- It sure does...wow..Jon is a very determiend young man it seem
[8:57][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:-doesn't turn- Here for prayer Aegis
[8:57][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Well within a 98 percent accuracy the science is well dull as a rock but lets jsut say the odds of space debris havign the exact same comet pattern now as it did in a yanda survey 10 years ago would
[8:57][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"so it would seem. If he is anything like his brother in bed...then it is hardly surprising.
[8:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:make even a ferengi hesitent to set books
[8:58][DOIC2]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Decia] -a smile to her voice- Of course..slightly delayed until i was able to check on my teams on patro
[8:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Which points to some form of artificial masking
[8:58][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alcie] -smiles- You found their foot prints as it were
[8:59][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:More liek the attempt to hide them in the snow but yes
[8:59][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:To their credit the Yanda also flagged this as odd but did not get aroudn to a followup survey
[8:59][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Any disturbance can be located..good work Lieutenant.Ill notify her immediately..-hits her combadge- =^= Bridge to the Captai
[9:00][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Our Yanda allies have arather smal flee
[9:00][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:-still not turing..but nods and goes respectfully silent and she relfects on her thoughts and feelings herself
[9:00][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"i am not sure how to proceed. Given the unknown nature of this technology there are potential security concerns. Technically, I think I may be obligated to inform the captain.
[9:01][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Ooooh that is irght...you and Chor...um..Josh were anitem..I always forget that bit..-reviews the data- Incredible..but..something changed here..according to your last data scans this shoul
[9:01][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:not have been possibl
[9:01][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] CXha..big time.the skipper totes needs tobe int he loo
[9:01][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"I am aware of the face that this really should not be happening.
[9:01][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:-opens her eyes and walked outside the chapel to take the 'call'
[9:01][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:**fac
[9:01][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:=^= Go ahead Alice..what do you have for me
[9:02][DOIC5]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Endel] -hums his thrithieth round of jon jacob jingleheimerschmidtt as he stands watch near the toredo bay with Alt
[9:02][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:The coardinates are basically on the shores of the Burning Nebula. LT Commander Cameron I am feeding the location to your console
[9:02][DOIC2]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-Decia moved into the chapel to kneel before the alter and comence her morning prayer
[9:03][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:=^= Sorry to distrub you roomie..but our new science officer has completed the currentphase of her search and has yeilded some very promising return
[9:03][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Ya gotta brief the skippe
[9:04][DOIC2]Shantal@Arniman:=^=Excellent...I will take a look over that data now...how long until we arrive at out assigned patrol take over
[9:04][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -looks over her data- Yngrid send these probabilities to tacitcal and Helm...and to Val..have our sensor sweeps focused on that spinward arc for no
[9:05][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she forwarded it to varel and sciops station
[9:05][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"I should give Alice a chance to do that first..
[9:05][DOIC5]Alton@the5of43:*Alt had lost track and restarted again, his current count at six as he stood guard
[9:05][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Will do, Commander.
[9:05][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] =^= We are thirty minutes out and closing...-sends down Yngrids data- Ive had our sensors sweeps adusted more spnward to accomodate these fidning
[9:05][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -nods
[9:05][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Unfortuantely commander we will likely have to close range to trully get more
[9:06][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Indede Lieutenant but we have some very weary Howar who need to be relieved from their patrol firs
[9:06][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] After that the skipper will make the further call
[9:06][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Of course
[9:06][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Oh yeah like that is soo gonna happe
[9:06][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] She has to be freaki

[9:07][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Alice is a professional.
[9:07][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] She is unpredictable...most of her iterations have bee
[9:08][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] I mean you have met the source yes
[9:08][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] -looks over at Jonf or along moment as if lost int hought
[9:09][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon looks back at Alice.* Ma'am
[9:09][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--nods slowly-- "look, we are busy with the current mission at the moment. Right after that I will handle this.
[9:09][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:*Varel tapped on her console, frowning slightly.* "Reports incoming from the Citadel indicate there has been a disturbance near the Talon Expanse, Commander.
[9:09][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -stare stare stare
[9:09][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-Alice does tnot imediately answeer varel
[9:09][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon waves his hand.* Sentinel to Alice..
[9:09][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Points the sensors to the location, looking over to Alice.
[9:10][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -blinks- yes what..-looks around- Distrubance
[9:10][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] -nods along with Varels report
[9:11][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Blacvk] -nods slowly- Oh yes for sure..I understan
[9:11][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Initial reports indicate that the U.S.S. Anhui has been destroyed, Commander. Other ships are currently being directed there. We have not received any orders, however.
[9:11][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Sighs sadly.
[9:11][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--sighs.-- "I am concerned about this getting out...
[9:12][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] Orders current from the citadel are to maintain patrol...for no
[9:12][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Are you okay, Commander?
[9:12][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] nods- Send back to tactical command varel understood..and prepare a report ont he incident to brief thwe captaino
[9:12][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] -smiles to Val and nods- Oh yes..thank you Va
[9:13][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:*Varel nodded once.* "Yes, Commander." *She began beeping and booping on her console.
[9:13][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] This has happened before...but it was a false alarm yes
[9:13][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Morten] I had a buddy aboard the Anhu
[9:13][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--nods-- "yeah.
[9:13][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I'm sorry...
[9:14][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:*Varel glanced quietly at Morten.
[9:14][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Morten] From tac training..we went back a bit -his jaweset some
[9:14][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] This looks..different this time..more..rea
[9:15][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Which is impossible...very impossibl
[9:15][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon rubs the bridge of his nose, frowning.* Whoever is responsible will be held accountable
[9:15][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"The reports indicate that survivors have been located," *Varel said quietly.* "Perhaps he is among them.
[9:15][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] Whoever they are..they hit us at just he right time..we are spread mighty thi
[9:16][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Morten] -looked over his shoulder a moment at Varel and noded once keeping her eyes a moment before returning to work
[9:16][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"...looking back on that previous 'false alarm' I am wondering if it was a first attempt at her body attempting to program in a new feature.
[9:16][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"We don't even have the kzari's military strength to relay on anymore...
[9:16][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she swallows a moment.
[9:16][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] We all knew that the apostates only game was not jus tgoing to be the black ocean even
[9:17][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:The Anhui was one of several ships I had the choice of joining
[9:17][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] We will come through this peopl
[9:17][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Looks down at a text on her console.
[9:17][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] Well Im glad you chose us Yngri
[9:18][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:IT was a coin toss
[9:18][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:If i am being honest
[9:18][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] Lady Luck is with you and that is never a bad thin
[9:18][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she had a small smile
[9:18][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Let's hope she visits more often...
[9:18][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Scrolls through her texts.
[9:18][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -chuckles- Wel let me tell you..Jon and alice sure got their christmas wish the
[9:19][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:There is a proverb, that those who court luck are typically scorned
[9:19][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"that idea is in itself both amazing and a bit concerning. It would indicate both amazing levels of adaptation and at least a limited level of ability for her body to act on its own.
[9:19][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:It is an Izarian saying
[9:19][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Well, maybe she's not single.
[9:20][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] Naploen back on earth once commented about a new feield marshall to his genrals..I dont want to know of his skills..only is the bastard is luck
[9:20][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:-arrives on the bridge
[9:21][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Smiles at her screen, then nods to Shantal.* "Captain.
[9:21][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Captain on the bridge
[9:21][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Captain." *She nodded once.
[9:21][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] The level of tech is at least a thousand years beyond thatof the Federation so not so surprising..but yes..very very unpredictabl
[9:21][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:-nods as she looks around taking her seat
[9:22][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"not unpredictable, just likily beyond out ability to predict.
[9:22][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] On course captain..ten minuts out from our patrol point..You ahve received science's update..tactical ahs areport for yo
[9:22][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] and hbegs the question..what else can she evolve into or what abilities as wel
[9:22][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Veeri...let the Howar know we are about there
[9:22][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Sending, Ma'am.
[9:23][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Taps out a text hail and sends it to the Howar.
[9:23][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Indeed, Captain. It would appear that the U.S.S. Anhui has been destroyed while on a routine science patrol. Initial reports indicate that they were ambushed by vessels known to be operated by..
[9:23][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--nods-- "Yeah, that question had crossed my mind.
[9:24][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:the Tanausan Imperium, an Apostate empire located on the far side of this galaxy. They appear to have been mobilised with wormhole technology. We have received no orders to assist, but we are to..
[9:24][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:be on alert.
[9:24][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Understood..
[9:25][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"The howar acknowledge and sends hug, Captain. And I have... small bit of news from Kzari space.
[9:25][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] Good news

[9:26][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] So she is safe then? Good to hear Veer
[9:26][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:That is the best we can hope for
[9:26][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"And the kzari may have a shot of ending this peacefully yet, if she said that.
[9:26][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -to Shantal-=We all expected the Dark and her forces to do more than thatpush int he Kzari corrdior.
[9:27][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:We did

[9:27][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Well... let's hope she and the Chancellor know something we don't, Mr. Derek.
[9:28][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] hear Hear Lieutenan
[9:28][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:So what do we have on the origin point investiagtion
[9:28][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -nods to Yngird
[9:28][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:We are approaching the Hower
[9:29][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Howa
[9:29][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:A location captain
[9:29][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Thank you Jon...Derek..pass along to Command we are assuming patrol duty and relieving the Howar
[9:29][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] You do know the old man was rushing to save his daughter..he wouldve tried any tech..maybe these andriods were ..war machines? Highly adaptiveone
[9:30][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:-to Yngrind- Where are looking at
[9:30][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] Aye captain -does so imediately
[9:31][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:A system right on teh shores of the burnign nebula. There is a comet cluster that well is defying physics
[9:31][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:Jon guides the sentinel to matching warpspeedswitht he two eelgant Howar cruisers...their lovely crafter hulls still show burned anc harr3ed marks from the kzari corridor battle..but otehrwise seem
[9:31][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Heading an distance from out patroling zone
[9:31][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Its dispersal pattern is the same today as it was ten years ago, whiel the presences of the comets and depres might still be there the individual tails would change as they froze and thawed
[9:31][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:to be at full strength...as they fall into formation with the smaller battle cruiser
[9:32][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"That has always been the concern with All of Salvation's projects...their 'ends justify the means' methodology tended toward disasterous results.
[9:32][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:LT Commadner Cameron would have cross reference of that Captai
[9:32][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -softer- The man was trying to save his only child Billie J
[9:33][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:It is currently 20 lys from current position
[9:34][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] System shows on Jons nav charts roomi
[9:34][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Looks to Yngrid as she's trying to proccess what she said.* "Sooo... basically. The debris field is an illusion?
[9:34][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:That is the hypothesis
[9:34][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] a duck blind...perhap
[9:34][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"That also means we won't know how many are on the other side of the tarp until we lift it, yes?
[9:34][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:There are other explainations such as a temproal anomaly or other things within the burnign nebual's nature that could explain it but the simplest solution is yes. A duck blind
[9:35][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"I know...believe me I sympathize with him...but, as a scientist and a Starfleet officer he had to know he had greater moral and ethical responsibilities.
[9:35][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Well between his actions and the M5 computer..is kinda why Starfleet shut it all down when you guys showed what was behind the curti
[9:35][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:It does fall outside of our patrol zone, so unless we have a reason to pursue this now, it will have to be sevled for the time being
[9:36][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Maybe you could ask Command, Capt-Oh! Incoming hail.
[9:36][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Lead hower vessel is calling.
[9:36][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] They are ready to head hom
[9:36][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Yeah, unfortunately the only reason it got where it did was becaue too many in command turned a blind eye to it all.
[9:36][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:If it was the Milkyway...I might be open to a long rance shuttle recon mission..but here in the LMC...this place is to brutal for those considerations
[9:37][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Put them through Veeri
[9:37][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Sadly true...yet there were benefit
[9:37][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Puts the howar on.
[9:38][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--nods-- "there were benefits and that blinded a lot of people to the reality of it all.
[9:38][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:Ons creen appears a handsome yet tired looking Howar in their Rangers unfirom..his tired eyes bely a degree of wise kindness in them

[9:40][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--sits down and slumps down in her chair, letting out a sigh.-
[9:40][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:=^= A pleasure Ranger Tavrus. I apologize for are tardiness..though we did manage to evade a potential hostile..you did get out data package on their vessel
[9:40][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Smiles and retruns to watching her scanners.
[9:40][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[]Tvarus] We did and we have only a scant degree of knowledge about this new found race of yours...rumors temming from Pirates to Apostate scouts but nothing contcrete..the yandamight know mor
[9:41][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Tvarus] This was their exporatory neck of the woods a few years bac
[9:42][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] E very time you think you are..you get pulledback in kinda sigh
[9:42][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:=^= Their suddenly discovery, now of all times...well just excersise care on your return to port
[9:43][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Tvarus] =^= Oh will do..we got some dings Captain..but we still have teet
[9:43][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:=^= good, Lady willing you will not need to bare them. safe travels to you
[9:44][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Tvarus] =^= it will take us about a day or two to get back to the citadel..you get into trouble give us ashout and we wil slipstreram bac
[9:44][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Tvarus] =^= -nods- Understood..may the lady watch over us all..fair speed and safe port to you al
[9:45][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:=^= We will...let makeis all offical...assuming patrol posting now, you are relieved and thank you Rangers for your service
[9:45][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"It is what it is. I guess I always knew the legacy of the project would live on long past its death.
[9:45][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[]Tvarus] =^= We live for all life..and we serve all life..it was an honor as always...Tvarus out -ends the hail
[9:46][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Gives him a wave again as he announces cutting the hail.
[9:46][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:With the end of the hail..the pair of howar cruisers breaks off and alters course headingback towards the Citadel
[9:47][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Then returns to watching her scanners... and playing a little game where she plays as a kung-fu fighting black and white bursali in a little window.
[9:47][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] i have always liked those guys -smiles
[9:47][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"They're nice.
[9:47][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Morten] and efficent -adds in- good to spar wit
[9:47][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I wouldn't know about that, but they're very nice t otalk to.
[9:48][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:We are approaching our initial patrol point
[9:48][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--returns to looking over Alice's medical chart.-
[9:48][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Watching for any errant comm signals.
[9:48][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Well it wil for a long long time.
[9:49][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Everything's peaceful and quiet.
[9:50][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] About time we caught a brea
[9:50][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Trust me on this one.
[9:51][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] take us to the way point and set course for the next on
[9:52][DOIC5]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-Spot arrives with some water and their lunch...basic field ration packs
[9:52][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-says to Jon
[9:52][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--looks up at Black with a warm smile-- "You know one of these days you are going to have tell me you whole story..
[9:52][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Aye aye
[9:53][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon does as instructed.
[9:53][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -smiles- You know..I am sure i will..I have always trusted you Doctor...back when you were amanda protege
[9:54][DOIC5]Alton@the5of43:*Alt grabbed their delta lunchables and handed it to Endel* Thank you spot. You'r the best
[9:54][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Back when I was Amanda's protege I was a naive idiot.
[9:54][DOIC5]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-as he does so benath each pack are apack of muffins each
[9:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Weird
[9:55][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] You were always kind to me..evenif you often treatedme as alab expriement -winks to her
[9:55][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"What's weird?
[9:55][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Lt Stingray, I am noticing a very strange fragmentation fo the stellar dust on our current course that doesn't seem related to our warp apeture, but its sayign its a warp signature
[9:55][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Hides her screens a bit better with her body, in case Yngrid is commenting on the kung-fu bursal.
[9:55][DOIC5]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Endel] -accepts his- Why thank you Alton..and thank you spot
[9:56][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Can you analyze
[9:56][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--look at Black with great sadness.-- "...I am so sorry..
[9:56][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -smiles some- Sweetie as Isaid..you were ver kind..as you were with the twin
[9:57][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"But, that hardly makes any of it right.
[9:57][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black][ No..
[9:58][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Okay, looking at it now.
[9:58][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Goes to look at it.
[9:59][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] But you were very kind to me for all of those years
[10:00][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I'm detecting an unusual cloud formation. it seems to be closing and matching our speed.
[10:00][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"And i8ts showing bio signatures.
[10:00][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Bio signastures? the clod is..alive or has living elements
[10:01][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:I might recommend shields up
[10:01][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:It could be another illusion
[10:01][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:aheadon the main viewscreen..a distant cloudlike formation appears..light as if by biolunenessiance..glowing a soft blue whit
[10:01][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:...wo
[10:01][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -looks to shantal
[10:02][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[vee roll pls
[10:03][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"It could be possible be some kind of space swarm, or a nanite cloud." *Scans.
[10:03][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[roll pls val
[10:04][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she checks composition now that its closer
[10:04][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I now have some subspace... humming.
[10:05][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I will try to figure out what it reminds me of.
[10:05][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Raise shields...keep at minimum for no
[10:06][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Yes I think a swarm might be a valid hypotheses
[10:06][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Confirmed Yngrid
[10:06][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:It is composed of tens of millions of tiny moving parts
[10:06][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] that is ..some what alarmin
[10:06][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"But a swarm of what...
[10:06][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:If it is an illusion it is highly complicated. It is Instead posible we might be looking at some form of inorganic life
[10:06][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:Sery? Do you recognize this humming?" *She looks at her screens, trying to figure itout.
[10:07][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Sery] I do! Lightstriders! wanna hear em properly
[10:07][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Yes, please.
[10:07][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Them seem to be lifeforms of a type, still scanning.
[10:07][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Sery has an ID on them, maybe, Captain... Lightstriders.
[10:08][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Hmm Organic actually the carbon structures suggest that chemistry. But there is a silicon based life forms amoongs them as well
[10:08][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[ audio plays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG8f-EV8vDo
[10:08][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Organic and Inorganic Lifeforms
[10:08][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] a hybrid
[10:08][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Or an Ecosystem
[10:08][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:*Varel narrowed her eyes at the noise.
[10:08][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] A Uniqeu on
[10:08][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Not unlike schools of dissimliarr fis
[10:09][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"They sound like... bugs. Sery? Do you know more about them, or do we have to ask Eirene?
[10:09][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Shield please varel....low intesity for no
[10:09][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:*Varel nodded and raised their shields as requested.
[10:09][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Sery] No I know them! They frequent this part of space..they used to be one thingbut after eingleft all to themselves..they evovled into their current for
[10:10][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Oh... are they dangerous?
[10:10][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"One would hope they are not in relation to other swarms we know of.
[10:10][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Sery] OhNo! Playful to be honest..The yanda cosnider them a sign of good luc
[10:10][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:It must be our lucky day then..
[10:10][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Awwww! Thaank you, Sery!
[10:10][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The massive blue glowing swarm grows closer and close
[10:11][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:as if sensing the Sentine
[10:11][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Jon...let's..give them some room, please..
[10:11][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Aye captain
[10:11][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Aluice[] I think we have been spotte
[10:11][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Perhaps decrease speed so as not to... splatter them on our windshield, so to speak.
[10:11][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Slowing to 1/2 impulse
[10:12][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The Sentinel drops from warp and the cloud races on by at war
[10:12][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"What do they eat, Sery?
[10:12][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:-mocking waves as they zip on by
[10:12][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Waves as well.
[10:12][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:That was...interesting. Recalcuating vectors for warp
[10:13][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:It would seem we have caught its eye
[10:13][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:I'll make certain they get wide berth
[10:13][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Keep tabs on them if we can..maybe where they are heading it something of interest
[10:13][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Sery] according to Yanda scout survieys..they have been observed to ingest loose stellar debri
[10:13][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:The cloud is coming about
[10:13][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Perhaps we should feed it
[10:13][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:the cloud drops from warp and heads for the sentine
[10:13][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon raises his eyebrows, looking back at Shantal.
[10:13][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:No, just no..not feeding the wild life
[10:14][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:A expusion of warp plasma charged with ionization could provide it food. Assuming it isn't going to try and feed on us
[10:14][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Indeed, they are likely to follow us.
[10:14][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Looks disappointed, like a small child not allowed to pet a stray dog.
[10:14][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -chuckles- But Susan..they followed home..can we keep them
[10:15][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The swarm reaches theship and gracefull parts enough to dance about them..avoiding their shielding...coiling around the sentinel in what appearts to be a playful dance
[10:15][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] -chuckles alittle more- Interestin
[10:16][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:This is right up Liz's alley..dancing bugs...she'd have fun with this..
[10:16][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-Spencers office door chimes
[10:16][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Enter.
[10:16][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] The Gigantes skipper
[10:16][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[K'Rika] Mom? Lyssia is awak
[10:16][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:The one and only
[10:16][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Awww... they're so cute.
[10:17][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Yeah..but I have known her longer than that..
[10:17][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Maybe not entirely inaccurate
[10:17][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--shut off her terminal.-- "I will be right there.
[10:17][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she looked at the pattern
[10:17][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I'd so feed them if I could.
[10:18][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The swarm keeps pacwe with Jons set speed..hapily it seems dancing aout theshi
[10:18][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Well they are completley avoiding the shields. I wonder, could we pulse the shield frequency
[10:18][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Records the dancing creatures, smiling.
[10:18][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] Oh well..more back story anothe rtime -winks at Billie Jo
[10:18][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:See the response
[10:18][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--gets up and heads out into sick bay-
[10:18][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Let's let them play and maybe watch for a bit
[10:18][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Aw, thank you captain, that's very sweet.
[10:19][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--looks at Black-- "i am going to let it go.." --winks back-
[10:19][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] We made some new friends..
[10:19][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:ya
[10:19][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -folows after her- fair enough
[10:20][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:like abrightly lit blue cascade the sentinelsnewestlittle playmates dance around them as Jon continjnues at sublifght speed
[10:21][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon tries to make sure he doesn't run into them.
[10:21][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--heads to Lyssia's bedside-- "Feeling rested?
[10:21][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--she smiles at the girl-
[10:22][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -tries to mimic the smile and nods- yes yes Miss healer..I feel ..better...I thank you..thank you al
[10:22][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I am recording the viewscreen, port, starboard, aft and stern cameras...
[10:22][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"We'll be able to rewatch their full dance later.
[10:23][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Don't thank me until you get my bill.." --she says laughing-
[10:23][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-Val and veeri asre getting all kind of excellant footage for later study
[10:23][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -eyes go wide- But But I have no tender..to pay -is alrmed now
[10:24][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she starts catalogign individual species
[10:24][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--smiles and places a gentle hand on Lyssia's arm-- "it was just a joke, sorry...I have never been funny.
[10:25][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Val..you think yhr Pixies can interact more directly and even transalte in a manner
[10:25][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -looks relieved- yes yes a jest..sorry am I..sorr
[10:25][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Elusive] -looks up to val
[10:26][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"it is okay sweetie, I am the one who should be apologizing.
[10:26][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Curious
[10:26][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"..are you hungry?
[10:26][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:This is not possible naturally
[10:26][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -softly- yes..
[10:27][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:The crreatures are carbon silicon hybrids, and they ahve a lot of evolution phenotypical variation
[10:27][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Well Sery did mention they are beleived to have been created long ago but abandone
[10:27][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Poor little things.
[10:27][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"...Can we keep them?

[10:27][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:No Veeri..
[10:28][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Sighs, not getting cosmozoan pets once more.
[10:28][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:The question becomes what were they created for
[10:28][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] My worry as wel
[10:28][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Maybe artificial pollenators?
[10:28][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Pets or weapons
[10:28][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Is coordianting with the pixies to help with the transloation of the other little creatures outside.
[10:28][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] terraforemrs is an interesting idea Veer
[10:28][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Some species historically ran into pollenating species dying out, so they created bots like this.
[10:28][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Given the nature of most of our enemies, I am inclided to hypothesis weapons
[10:29][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:-a sal coudof pixiesemerge near val and glow their pinkish hue as they hums oftly
[10:29][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--turns to K'Rika-- "Would you go get our guest something to eat. Something light, some chicken noodle soup maybe.
[10:29][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Krika] and some green jello Mom
[10:29][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:There are far simpler ways to create a polination species, and you would likely not have them be spaceborne
[10:30][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -mutters somrthing softly
[10:30][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Any species with the technological capability to create carbon silicon hybrids would likely have the ability to create a far more simple life form
[10:30][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] Well givente tech levls once availble long ago here..it is not surprisin
[10:30][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--nods to K'Rika-- "of course, nothing but the best.
[10:31][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Krika] -nodnods and heads out to get the food prescription
[10:31][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Hmmm... Yngrid may have a point. So might you, Derek? Terraformers of some sort.
[10:31][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek]] They might be an elaborater form of a van neumenman machin
[10:31][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek[] or were at one tim
[10:32][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:That would be what is evident in their phenomtypical variance
[10:32][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:The question then becomes what stressors lead to this variation
[10:32][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek[ the extinction of theirhost race
[10:33][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:It is all driven by the initial programming. Unless they caused it
[10:33][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:It is very often hypothesized that Self replicating machines often see the end of a need for organics
[10:33][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Pixies] We have linguistic parady! -cheerfully announce
[10:33][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] You..have a cheerful outlook ya know -teaes
[10:34][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:I'm Izarian. Optimism is a luxury, one often in short supply to reality
[10:34][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:*Varel was just staring at them on her tactical screen intently, in the off chance they had the silly idea to sting them.
[10:34][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Origins being one things..you have stated they have evolved a good measure
[10:34][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Well, that's a sad way of looking at things.
[10:34][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Yes captian there are significant variances in the individuals
[10:35][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Many times the inception is only a minor piece to what a being our group becomes..
[10:35][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -to shantal- We have base tranlation matrix roomi
[10:35][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Helping the pixies set up the matrix.
[10:35][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:That would suggest a large numebr of generational divergence but the prescence of these all workign together does suggest speciailizations till needed by the whole
[10:35][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Let the science team do their talking..this is there show, yes
[10:35][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:And not obsolecence
[10:35][DOIC5]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Decia] -arrives before the pair- Finish your meal

[10:42][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Alright lets get you something to eat.-
[10:42][DOIC5]Alton@the5of43:Yes ma'am.. We'll do that.. *he waved Endel to catch a lift for them
[10:42][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] real food??!-eyes go wide and shesmiles as she sniffs in the aroma
[10:43][DOIC5]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Decia] takes their place as they both head for thebridge spot int ow
[10:43][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"..well of course it is real? Were you expecting something else?
[10:43][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon looks back at Shantal.
[10:44][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:I thought I already said..have fun...Jon
[10:44][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -looks downs ome- I was fed with the tube Miss Heale
[10:44][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] in pilot dummy talk..go pla
[10:45][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Step on it, Jon.
[10:45][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"That is horrible?" "Well we don't do that here.
[10:46][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Just stay within our zone of patrol and it is all good
[10:46][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] and this..is ..all for just me
[10:46][DOIC1]Alton@the5of43:*Alt appeared and relieved the stationed security duo as quickly and quietly as he could
[10:46][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"Yes, take it slow. You don't necessarily have to finish it all if you are not able to.
[10:47][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[ZEndel andspot assume the watch beside Alton as the security pair nods and head off to eat
[10:47][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Hmm
[10:47][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she eyed the Horta
[10:47][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -digs into her food..whichasher scans dictated she is compatiable with and savors eachand everybite happily
[10:47][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon does so.
[10:47][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Full impulse
[10:48][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Yay!
[10:48][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*She waved at Alt, Endel and Spot.
[10:48][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The Sentinel gfos full impulse..which the wsa=warmeasily keepspace with..yet after a meref ew sconds..againd ims itslights as before..denoting dissapointment
[10:49][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Calculating a warp jump to resume our patrol...assuming they will follow
[10:49][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Endel] Hello Nice miss Veeri
[10:49][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Hi, Mr. Endel!
[10:50][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"I think going warp will make them happy. They still want uss to go faster.
[10:50][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Warp capable bugs... is that even possible?
[10:50][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice they were at warp befor
[10:51][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Perhaps they were consuming particles from our warp trail... they could be used quite easily to mask warp trails under some circumstances.
[10:51][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon takes the Sentinel back to warp, on course for their patrol.
[10:51][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Other forms of cosmozoa are capable of faster than light travel
[10:51][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice -nods to Yngrid
[10:51][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:-eyes Varel- I sense you devious plots form here, Varel
[10:52][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Well, they are calling us slow pokes. I think they want to race us.
[10:52][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The sentinels eems to surprise the little swarm as it leaps away from them...after afashion the swarm bounces into warp chjasing him and theship
[10:52][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"I only suggest, Captain, that perhaps they were engineered by a species that uses them to hide their trail.
[10:52][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek][] -chuckles- They are taunting Jon
[10:53][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Fun specualtion..but my hunch is whatever thier original intent..they have far surpassed it...evolve into something vary different
[10:54][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"I cannot confirm any 'hunches,' Captain.
[10:54][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The swarm coils arond in the wake of the sentinel..glowingbrightert sasd they give chas
[10:54][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--smiles as Lyssia enjoys her food, gives her some space to eat in peace.-
[10:54][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:I can however confirm they are consuming the particals given off by our warp field
[10:54][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Black] -as they are a bit away- Fedding tubes..as if shewere a breeder anima
[10:54][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:*She monitored their warp trail to see how much of it was masked by the little warper bees.
[10:55][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"We are not leaving any discernable warp trail at all, Captain. They are completely consuming all expelled particles.
[10:55][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Maybe they're hungry.
[10:56][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:and oncem ore they match warp speed and dancenow happily about the sentinel as jon keeps it on their patrol rout
[10:58][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:I think Commander Varel may be right as to a reason for their original existence. A form of stealth
[10:58][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:the swarm appears to be keeping pace with the sentinel in a manner similar tothose by dolphins who once swambesides anicnet mariners
[10:59][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] a very real possiblit
[10:59][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Maybe..seems counter productive sine we did detect them..
[10:59][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] and how they got their name of Lightstrider
[10:59][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:yes but we wouldn't detect the original ship pathing
[11:00][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] I dont think they need to hide any mor
[11:00][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:They would also make very good scouts.
[11:00][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Sery? How long ago was the first mention of lightstriders?
[11:00][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:And Removing a warp trail of a potential ambush target could in fact leave reinforcements unable to follow
[11:00][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Are they from the last war?
[11:00][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] They do seem happy on their own thoug
[11:01][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Indeed, particularly if they were believed to be a naturally-occurring cozmozoan cluster.
[11:01][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:See if the Citadel archieves have any close matches and what they have..while we proceed with our patrol
[11:01][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Sery] Already discussing it with Ereine captain!..she is looking..so far all we haveare the yanda myths andlegend
[11:02][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"If they are myths, they must have been around for a while.
[11:02][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:A hunting dog is happy playing with a toy, before it must find the fox
[11:02][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:-looks at Veeri
[11:02][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"...I don't think thats how myths work.
[11:03][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:The my girl in my thought...not as stealth assistant..more a old..hunting assistan
[11:03][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Not sure how I feel about domestically sweet little things like these to be used as tools of battl
[11:03][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:notice how they homed in on us..
[11:03][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] I think Yngird and the skipper might be right.
[11:04][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"So in essence... you believe we have found a stray and it's going to follow us home so long as we keep feeding it.
[11:04][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"They have having fun playing with us and are well fed and very thankful.
[11:04][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:The Lady's luck is with us -dead pan
[11:05][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] I dont think that to behonest...they are not so much strays bynow..but native
[11:05][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:-looks to Alice- My sisters never have to deal withh this stuff
[11:05][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] Oh comenow..its adoreabl
[11:06][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The swarm begins topeel off of the sentinel and with a sudden shift..head off in their own direction
[11:07][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Looks like they are done." Uses her hand to play with her Pixies
[11:07][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Interesting
[11:07][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"It -is- adorable.
[11:07][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -finishes her meal
[11:07][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:and just like that...
[11:07][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:keep tabs on them if we can..see where they are off to..
[11:07][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"LIke dolphins swimming alongside a ship.
[11:07][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:trhe pixies happily dance around Vals hand- They were thankful and happ
[11:07][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Aye aye, Captain. Tracking their movement till we can't.
[11:07][DOIC1]Shantal@Arniman:Jon...keep a ...loose, casual tail on them
[11:07][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--walks over to take the tray away.-- "Well how was it?
[11:08][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Aye captain
[11:08][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -smiles her chin having some green jello lingerring- Oh so delightful..thank you healer..thank you so muc
[11:08][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:they seem, to beonce at a distance..swarming about each other..playfully
[11:09][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Curious
[11:09][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"You are welcome." --she says with a smile taking a napkin and wiping her face clean.-
[11:09][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] Sorr
[11:10][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:"no need to be sorry, just cleaning you up a little. Believe me I understand. You got to get in there and get every last bit of that Jello.
[11:10][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] Oh yes..this jello is deligfhful..thank you heale
[11:11][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] they stopped to just..play
[11:11][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--nods-- "So Lyssia do you suppose you might be up to answering some questions?
[11:11][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"And possibly collect data," *Varel said dryly.
[11:11][DOIC3]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Lyssia] -pauses amoment and thennodnodnods yes miss heale
[11:12][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Or play.
[11:12][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Play can be a form of data collection.
[11:12][DOIC3]Spencer@Demoncheru:--nods and smiles-
[11:12][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] either way...definitely a sepcies worthy of more inverstigatio
[11:12][DOIC1]Varel@liorexu:"Indeed... in addition to the species that has been utilising them, potentially to get around near our space without detection.

[11:27][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:Aye ma'am
[11:27][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:*Jon alters the Sentinel's course to head for the next waypoint.
[11:28][DOIC]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:The Sentinel alters course and continues effortlessly along its patrol rout
[11:28][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Yawns squeakily, watching her scans.
[11:29][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Hmm..
[11:30][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:I wonder..
[11:30][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:*she tries to do some quick calcluations
[11:31][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"There's something.. No... yes... no... It keeps slipping away!
[11:32][DOIC1]Jonathan Cameron@ClingingMar:What
[11:32][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Hmm... Yeah something is there in the pattern. But i do not see it
[11:33][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I thought I heard something for a bit... then it slipped.
[11:33][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] Keep at it if you can Veer
[11:34][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I'll try, Ma'am.
[11:34][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:*Keeps playing around, trying to feel up the signal.
[11:36][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:Interesting
[11:36][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:*Ctoninues sensor sweeps for more interesting anomalies.
[11:36][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] What have you found
[11:36][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:They are exchangign energy, the outside younger ones are feeding the youthand elderly inside
[11:36][DOIC1]Yngrid@Captain_Rien:It less of a dance and more of a, post hunt ritual
[11:36][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[alice] interesting indeed..
[11:37][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Still cute.
[11:37][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] They keep their infirm...protected then
[11:38][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"Sounds like it. As I said... cute!
[11:39][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"Thats nice. I need to teach the Pixies that so they aren't eating random crew members anymore.
[11:39][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Derek] -chuckles at that
[11:40][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"...Do they do that?
[11:41][DOIC1]DGMSoftKitty@Isis:[Alice] -smirks- I doubt that very much Veeri...we wouldve noticed missing crew and Val is hardly amurdere
[11:41][DOIC1]Veeri Relidia@bulgariandragon:"I hope so...
[11:41][DOIC1]Stingray@Gothicfox:"No, they don't do that.
