Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
Welcome everyone. I suppose its just as well that we're missing a few people. I hope they are well, also those of us who have been hit by this storm are alright. As you've seen we'll be doing a free sim, with one or two things to set us in motion for next week. The Captain can't join us for personal reasons. Are there any questions or the like?
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
None here.
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
Nada
Laurel Lance :
::AA::
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
Oh, almost forgot. We are still docked at Deep Space Nine, for the moment.
Ens Juglans Regia :

●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
RH
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
Yes, Lieutenant?
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Are ve still on leave or have ve been recalled to ze ship?
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
Still on leave for now, unless say for example, Engineering wants to be on duty to help with repairs. Plans are to recall everyone at the end of sim.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
OK, thank you.
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
Cool, I'll be shopping with Thea then unless some of the other girl's wish to join me.
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
On 'duty' is your characters choice but not manditory. If there's nothing else?
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
....Or nikki can come he'll look cute with his hair braided and tied off by bow's and pink nails.
Computer :
=/\= Mortal Kombat!! I mean Begin sim =/\=
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
"Finish him!"
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
"Flawless victory"
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::crawls out of a thick and aromatic mud bath:: Ahh ... dat iz vhat I needed, yes?
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
+Heather+ Could you come to the Captain's Ready Room for a moment, before you leave if you're going to head to the station or get busy with something else, please.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::standing on the Promenade gazing out at the stars::
Laurel Lance :
::wandering around the promenade, looking for someplace quiet::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
+Oliver+ Of course Commander I am on my way. ::Heather said frowning as she moved to leave her quarters and make her way to the captain's ready room. Stepping off the lift she made her way to the door and hit the chime on it.::
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Neck deep in a sand bath singing nonesence to herself::
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
Come in. ::He was just borrowing it for the moment while Phoenix was doing..well whatever she was up to.::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
::Thea was still relaxing on the beach in the holodeck, well not so much relaxing anymore, but working on her refractive shielding.::
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
I WENT THREW THE DANGER ZONE! ::As she continued singing very off key::
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
::Of course, Felicity was in Engineering, neck deep in getting all greasy fixing things::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
::Heather walked through the door after the call to enter came.:: You wanted to see me? ::She looked confused.::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::waddles over to a real water shower:: I am so glad ze Federation made accomodations for Tellarites vhen they took dis station. After all, ve are Founding Members of ze Federation, yes? ::grabs a towel to dry off and starts putting on his clothes::
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::In science, the public labs, talking with those who, like herself, have chosen to stay on the ship and work on projects.:: Actually, Kensie, I think that you need a slightly different harmonic to result in singing crystals. Try adjusting it up a step on the scale and then tune them all to the major 7 in G. ::She helped the lieutenant make the adjustments to the grow chambers and then listened as the growing crystals began to hum.:: Nice chord, Kensie. Keep up the great work.
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Walking along the Promenade at Deep Space Nine
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
I did. I've gotten requested to take care of this and I don't know exactly why she wants to know. ::motions if Heather wanted to sit::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::heaves a sigh and turns to watch the people, notices Laurel not far away, smiles and gives a wave::
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Headbanging now to her music still in her sand bath::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
::Heather moved to sit confused by what he was talking about.::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Feels a sense of relief to be away from the ship for a bit and able to morph, but into what? ::
:: So many people were here. They mostly milled about their business. ::
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
La da dada dadada! dede dede dedadaaaaaaaaaaaa
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::notices Regia coming from the other direction, gives a subtle gesture that Regia and Laurel should find each other::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Catches Lance in the distance, or at least he thinks it's Lance ::
Lt JG Laurel Lance :
::Sees Adonudo and waves back, and moves towards him::
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Now out of her sand bath and into the blowdryer shower she has to get the sand off she continued her horribly off key singing::
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
For whatever reason, the Captain wants to know your planet of origin and we're going to set course for it. I was under the impression it was Earth right? Do you know why she'd want us to do so?
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::Moves to the next station where M'Tak was working on making a more efficient nutrient fluids for the hydroponic tanks.:: I'm thinking that this is too alkaline for most crops. Perhaps add in a touch more potassium nitrate and see if you can't balance it to the acid a bit better. ::She pointed out to the young ensign.:: If it works, it will be much easier to replicate in quantities and be more beneficial to more crops. Keep up the good work, M'Tak.
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Watches Lance on an intercept course with Tlanuwa ::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::now fully clothed, exits the Tellarite Bath House and glances around the Promenade:: Vhat to do now, eh? No more drinking! Even Lucky Man had less hangover than I did, yes?
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: With no where else to do, Ensign Regia approaches them h ::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
I'll be honest I have no idea why she wishes to go there, but yes the origin of my people is Earth, my uncle Lucian use to tell me about Atlantis before it fell below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean and became the lost City. ::Heather frowned having no idea why the Captain would think she came from any other planet since she did tell her that she's from Earth.::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::smiles as Laurel approaches:: Good evening, Miss Lance, and Mr. Regia. Are you enjoying our off time?
Ens Juglans Regia :
I am a bit restless Commander.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
Yes, I was too. After such a nerve-wracking mission, it's common to have the jitters afterward.
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Out of the dryer's to the defluffer's and another song to sing horribly to::
Laurel Lance :
Hello Lt Commander. It's alright I guess. I just wanted some peace and quiet. So I know what you h mean. ::smiles::
Ens Juglans Regia :
I guess I should schedule an appointment with you Commander.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
It's funny, there are stars outside the window from my bedroom, but ... looking at them from the Promenade of DS9 always seems more ... calming. Don't know why.
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Out of the defluffer's to the decomber's and more singing ensue's::
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::Heads over to Joseph and watches his experiments.:: Did you also factor in the random space objects? I know we don't often think of them, but at any given time all ships and stations in space encounter over a billion random space objects from the size of dust to the size of shuttles. But the ablative shielding sloughs them off. However, if you are trying to make your point with these improvements, you also have to take into account the things we don't think about, like those random space objects, Joseph. ::She reminded him reaonably.::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
During the Dominion War, all of my R&R was spent here. I guess I learned to process my own PTSD from here.
Ens Juglans Regia :
It's the lack of relative motion. Deep Space Nine is more like viewing from a planet than a starship.
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
Well it was her orders, so I guess when everyone has had some time and the repairs are finished, I guess you and we are going home. Home for those of us from Earth. ::Giving a little shrug:: That was all. Unless you have any questions, enjoy your leave.
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::Joseph looked at Makorie and nodded.:: Of course, Commander, I had forgotten to add that random factors and that does make a huge difference. Thank you. Sir, if you don't mind my saying, you aren't looking too good. Is there something wrong that you would like to talk about?
Laurel Lance :
I guess that makes sense. More of a feeling of permanence?
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::notices three Roddenberry crew members gathered together, strides up:: Ah, my fellow Rottenberries!
Ens Juglans Regia :
Romance? :: Regia thought for a moment, before realizing he misheard. He turned red ::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
::Heather frowned,:: Do you know why? I mean I'm not complaining, I was hoping to go home on the next available time slot, but I hadn't expected everyone coming with me. ::Heather admitted,:: I hope she's not hoping to meet my family because that um may not be possible.
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Out of the decomber to the mirror to finally get some makeup on she can only do lipstick really maybe eyeliner if she's really careful::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::tries not to roll his eyes as Nikki strolls up::
Ens Juglans Regia :
Lt. Targus...
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
I really don't Lieutenant. All she asked me was to over see the repairs, and the usual for my job and to ask you that.
Laurel Lance :
Hello Lt. Are you enjoying your time on the station?
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Mr. Regia, Miss Lance, had a fun date, yes? Medicine Man not dampening it, is he?
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::Makorie gave her version of a smile, a slight upturn at the corners that lasted for about 3 seconds and then vanished. :: Thank you for your concern, Joseph, but I am fine. I just haven't been sleeping as soundly a I like. I've been mother henning a pet project and you know how obsessive we scientists can get over our pet projects. ::She shared a knowing look with Joseph and he nodded. Then she went on her way.::
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
::Scoots out back to stand and wipes a bit of sealant off of her cheek:: Eh..Kai's about to be pissed. ::Heading to go up to the Science labs::
Ens Juglans Regia :
Date? Err, no.
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
Ok then I guess it will not matter if I have questions since you haven't been given the answers to them. ::Heather said with a soft smile and a nod to the commander.::
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
I'm sure she'll talk to you later in her own time. Shoo, go have fun, don't dwell on the why to much.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
I had vonderful meal, vay too many drinks, and nice mud bath to finish it off. I vould have invited you, but ... neither of you vere around then, no?
Laurel Lance :
::glances at Regia and back to Nikki:: We were not on a date. Just happened to meet
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
Of course commander, ::Heather stood and with a nod turned to leave.::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
No date? Vell, vhy not, eh?
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::smiles:: Don't push, Nikki.
Ens Juglans Regia :
I would not object though. :: Looking at Lance, then Nikki, then the Commander ::]
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::She stopped by the main desk and looked over the list of those who requested time in the labs for special projects and had gotten approval to move forward with them. Most were taking the opportunity to enjoy some down time, so weren't working at the moment. It made it easier.::
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Looking into the mirror she gave thought into what she saw on her last mission and the bald spot from the phaiser::
Ens Juglans Regia :
I was going to practice here, but there's not a lot of love for Changlings, so I don't wish to get shot.
I mean I'm not a Changling, but people can't tell the difference.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
But ... ze former Chief of Security ... O'duck or someting like dat ... vas Changling, no?
Ens Juglans Regia :
Yes, so I've heard.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::groans:: Constable Odo was a Founder, Nikki, not the same thing.
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
::Takes a few minutes but comes in, looking for Kai:: Commander?
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::She sighed:: Yeah. Just keep moving forward. ::She than felt her side's Healed but the memory is still there from the 1st ship she winced as if there was still pain but it was just phantom pain::
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::Turns when she hears her name:: Lieutenant? ::Wondering what was needed::
Ens Juglans Regia :
Is this a case of all Founders are Changelings but not all Changelings are Founders?
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
I'm afraid..you're going to have to find something else to do, and wrap up what you're working on. I've got to shut down the power to this deck.
Laurel Lance :
::sighs and turns her head to look out at the stars:: Some people never got over what the Founders did.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::makes a face, grunts:: Tomato, potato, all ze same, yes? But, you and your girlfriend should go find time alone, avay from dis old man. ::gestures at Adon::
Thea :
::Thea finished what she was doing on the beach for now deciding she'd rather work on the refractive shielding. Grabbing her Sarong she wrapped it around her hips and left the holodeck heading for the Roddenberry.::
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
May I ask why the entire deck needs to be shut down, Chief? ::That would disrupt many experiments, including her own project:: And how long do we have to to find back up power for experiments that cannot be without power at this time?
Ens Juglans Regia :
She's not my girlfr- :: sighs ::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
I always liked Odo. He was fair ... well, most of the time. ::shrugs and turns:: I should get back to the ship. I have a list of people needing to see the Counselor ::smiles:: and a few that need to but haven't requested an appointment. ::winks::
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Then she looked at her nose and inmediately flinched away in a shiver remembering the white incident and almost being killed by a boss she loved dearly and her friend lying on a biobed she slumped to the floor in tear's:: Just. Gotta keep. Moving forward. Just keep. ::Her voice gave out at that point::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Turns and smiles Lance's way ::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::grins:: I vill go vith ze Medicine Man. You two have good time, yes?
Ens Juglans Regia :
Sure Lt. Targus
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
Back-up power for certain critical things are fine, but everything else is for repairs and replacement parts to be installed.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::wanders off with Nikki following behind::
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Then she thought:: Just cover it up with make-up just keep pretending your fine You don't need a councelor you can do this she gave herself a pep talk or at least tried to::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Goes to stand next to Ensign Lance, pointing his gaze in line with hers ::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
By the way, Nikki, I am not an "old man".
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
You are vay older than me, no?
Laurel Lance :
::watchs at Tlanuwa and Targus walk off:: I wasn't looking to have a good time, just some quiet.
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::She made another thought A councelor can't change the past so you don't need it she got dressed and headed out::
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
A brand new ship, only on one mission and already needing overhauled? That is extremely inefficient. We will need four hours to make sure all critical experiments are on substitute power. I will have my department begin immediately. I would suggest you do what you can to be more efficient when it comes to things like this. It doesn't promote trust when a ship needs overhauled after every mission.
Ens Juglans Regia :
It's alright Laurel. I can go or stand here quietly with you. Or.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::stops and studies Nikki:: Just how old are you, Nikki? I'm sorry, I can't judge Tellarites that well.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
I have only 30 years, Old Man! You could be my father, yes?
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::groans:: Well, yes, I suppose I have a couple of decades on you at that.
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Making her way to the holodeck in hope's of looking out into the star's for guidence::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Stands looking out the large window at the starfield ::
Lieutenant Heather Argeneau :
::Heather goes to the security of the medical bay just to putz around and check on her orchid hybrids.::
Laurel Lance :
::smiles:: Thanks Juglans. Can I ask you something? When we got back, was there anyone you wanted to talk to?
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::arrives at the airlock to the Roddenberry with Adon:: Vell, here it is. I vill be seeing you later, yes?
Ens Juglans Regia :
You mean on my homeworld?
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Finally making it to the entrence of the holodeck hopeing that it is'nt in use::
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
::Oh Kai just did not. Really? This was about to get hostile if she wasn't careful:: Excuse me? Are you the Chief Engineer? You just told me how to do my job. Regardless of what we actually went through. ::motioning a hand out in the air:: Please, since you know how to do my job so much better than I do. Have at it, Commander.
Laurel Lance :
::shrugs:: Anywhere.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::nods at Nikki:: Sure, Nikki, see you later. ::they go through the airlock and then in separate directions::
Ens Juglans Regia :
Not really... I was concentrating my worry on myself.
I think at this point I would only speak with you. :: he swallowed :: You know about me and I don't have to hide any longer.
Lt. Persia Lionmane :
::Thinking to herself mybe looking out into the star's is a bad idea last time I did that I saw....No just no she turned around inmediately Maybe tinkering would keep me occupied I have'nt tinkered in M/E in quite some time I don't wanna get rusty she made her way that way::
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
I do not believe I told you how to do your job, Just that it is inefficient and doesn't instill trust if the ship breaks down after every mission. We will be ready in four hours, Chief. And there is no need to become excited, Smoke. Emotional outbursts tend to be a sign of something that needs taken care of. Good day, Smoke. ::Turns and heads back int the labs, telling those there that they needed to move with alacrity to get all projects on backup power, within four hours because Engineering needed to do repairs to the brand new ship. WIthout a lot of talk, the scientists got to work.::
Laurel Lance :
Oh, I guess that sort of makes sense. I tried to contact my family, but no one seems to be available. Makes me wonder just what is going on. You Know?
Ens Juglans Regia :
Are they not where they should be?
:: thinks about contacting his mother ::
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::Heads to her personal labs and puts her entire project portfolio on back up power, calmly but with the careful speed to protect all of the special seeds and bases and plants in the various stages. Why did everyone get so emotional and excitable when a simple observation of facts was stated? It was highly illogical and showed a lack of self-control.::
Ens Juglans Regia :
Contacting my world would take time.
Laurel Lance :
I don't really know::shakes her head:: Just that they were not availble
Ens Juglans Regia :
What planet are they on?
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::After two hours, her personal lab and all the other labs were protected. She contacted Lieutenant Smoke and let her know that Science was ready for the power to be turned off for repairs.::
Laurel Lance :
They aren't on a planet. My mother and Father are on a science vessel.
Ens Juglans Regia :
Oh.... :: has a worried look ::
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
I don't know that we're done here, Commander. What you call inefficient is different than being ripped through universes, attacked, boarded and you have no idea what was done. I don't appreciate your assumptions or your childish dismissal of me. So perhaps you're the one that has something to......::Huffs when she was walked out on. The B work on the tip of her tongue. Looking to the rest of them.:: Two hours no more. ::Storming out::
Lt. Cmdr Kai Makorie :
::Then she went to her own quarters to be alone. The lights out, the temperatures lowered, silence, and she sat and stared at the wall, lost in her own thoughts.;:
Ens Juglans Regia :
Give my the ship registry and I can inquire.
:: Look at his side and to her hand, bites his lower lip ::
Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
+Roddy Crew+ All crew please finish up what you are doing within the next four hours and report back to the ship. Normal duty resumes tomorrow. We'll be heading out to Earth.
Laurel Lance :
I've already tried. It doesn't matter now anyway. ::shrugs and hears the 4-hour recall:: I guess I'm done here. I think I'd rather just be on the ship anyway.
Ens Juglans Regia :
Anything I can do to help or if you just want to...vent.

Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
Excellent Character Development everyone. All of it amusing. TBS will be 16 hours. Plenty of time for logs. Also if those of you who want to, can continue right now once we get done if you wish. Proud of you. Questions? Comments?
Well then if not. Everyone be safe, specially, again. Those in the evil storm zone. Enjoy the rest of your week.
