  1. Attack of the Temporal Agents

    a Joint Log by Cmdrs Precip and Farrington

     

    Cmdr Jami Farrington had finally torn herself away from a barrage of paperwork. Well, PADDwork, really, but they called it paperwork. It was a hangover from earlier times when actual paper piled on desktops, in drawers, and often strewed across the floor when mishandled, all evil, all meant to aggravate the handler. These days everything was electronic, but somehow PADDwork didn’t have the same ring, so the term paperwork had survived. But electronic or not, it still aggravated the handler.

     

    The extent of damage to Manticore from their quantum slipstream trip between universes demanded documentation, recommendations, and requisitions that had taken one full duty cycle to complete, after which she had dragged her worn, bedraggled body to Maturin Station’s best attribute - the only franchise of Five Male Humanoids this side of Risa. It wasn’t hard to find. Just follow your nose.

     

    And she wasn’t disappointed.

     

    Her non-replicated bacon cheeseburger dripped just enough juice through the condiments and over the lettuce and tomato to tease the most ardent gourmet. A basket of cajun fries sat beside it, each fresh, crisp, crunchy piece begging to be the first devoured. The Coke, served in glass on the station, clinked with pure, clear ice cubes, a definite upgrade from ship-side replicated drinks that came pre-chilled to an exact temperature in insulated cups.

     

    Jami had just balanced the burger enough to take her first bite when she noticed two hopelessly bureaucratic humans walk past the greeter and make a beeline to her table. A tall man paired with a shorter woman who carried a small briefcase. Both dressed in business attire, but wore Federation comm badges - authoritative, yet standing out oddly amongst the others in the restaurant.

     

    Trying to ignore them, Jami took a large bite and closed her eyes in ecstasy, hoping they were a bad dream, or at least that they would move on.

     

    “Excuse us... Commander? We are from FDTIAUC, Federation Department of Temporal Investigations and Alternate Universe Contacts.” The male human was speaking. “I am agent Dulmer..this is Agent Lucsly.”

     

    Talk about ruining a good burger. Dabbing at the mustard that had begun to run down the corners of her mouth, Jami gave each a polite nod and continued to chew, hoping they would disappear. But they stayed. Flashed their badges, too.

     

    “May we join you?” said Lucsly.

     

    Jami struggled to finish her bite and spit out an emphatic no, but they were so good they made a temporal jump look bad. In half a second they were seated on the other side of the table, pulling various paraphernalia from the briefcase.

     

    Jami’s smile was genial but noncommittal. It could have been a what the heck, go for it smile, but it was really a we’ll see about that smile.

     

    Lucsly was slim, prim, and very proper. Every silky brunette strand of hair obeyed her command. Her collar, her skirt, her perfectly manicured nails screamed official. In contrast, Dulmer was a bit more relaxed, though just as proper. He seemed to be just doing his job, as opposed to Lucsly, who seemed to be totally absorbed in it.

     

    Lucsly opened her case to reveal a rather sophisticated PADD, a model Jami hadn’t seen before, but there was a lot she’d not seen on Maturin. She picked up a fry and munched it from stem to stern to help her relax - and look relaxed. And maybe let them know she was trying to have a relaxing dinner....

     

    “We are here on behalf of the Consul General's office,” Dulmer began.

     

    Jami nodded politely. Explains the suits.

     

    “Consul General Yendis was extremely wise to station an office of the FDTIAUC onboard Maturin Station, given the nature of the operations conducted by the vessels that are stationed here,” said Lucsly.

     

    “Your recent...mission has proven our new Consul General has excellent foresight.”

     

    “We have recently reviewed the report to the Consul General, who alerted us immediately when she noted that an Alternate... Universe... Contact occurred.” Lucsly drew out Alternate Universe Contact and let it hang, as though it were a dirty word, giving Jami a flash-back to the Principal’s office in elementary school. Then Lucsly stopped, as though waiting for Jami’s response.

     

    “Really,” said Jami. Not a question. Not an admission of anything. A mere comment as she reached for another fry, trying to appear nonchalant to those at nearby tables. “Somehow I don’t believe this is the time or the place for this discussion,” she said quietly, her eyes taking in the crowd around them, an estimated composite of three different starships presently docked at Maturin. Special Operations aside, not every person on the station had the clearance needed for such things. If anyone knew this, surely Dulmer and Lucsly did.

     

    Seeming to ignore Jami’s comments, Lucsly immediately turned her attention to her case and activated some sort of device.

     

    “Of course we would be amiss to express our sincere regrets over the personnel losses you suffered,” added Dulmer, just enough sympathy to his voice to make his regret believable.

     

    Jami stopped chewing and swallowed hard. Sincere regrets? They had no idea. Her eyes narrowed as she pushed her burger basket away in disgust and tossed her napkin on the table. “This... conversation... is over,” she said quietly, standing slowly, trying not to draw the attention of those close by. “If you have any questions, we may meet in my office. At the moment... I am off duty. I suggest you honor that and make an appointment.”

     

    As she made her exit, she missed the looks Lucsly and Dulmer gave each other as Lucsly firmly closed and locked her case. To them, the conversation was not over, and the appointment would not be made with her, but with the Consul General.


  2. =/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #631, STARDATE 51010.18 =/\=

    The Manticore has returned from a parallel universe that was almost identical to our own. We successfully navigated a slipstream tunnel between alternate universes, but the ship sustained heavy damage. We are now docked at Maturin Station and are undergoing extensive repairs.

    Keb -> ::tries to calculate whether he -could- have gotten into any mischief::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::exits the TL, onto the bridge, takes long strides to the RR, and pushes the button::

    Sovak -> ::finishes the last report and rubs his eyes, noting another already queing up in his "in" box::

    T'Prise -> :: Silent for a moment. :: I have business which must be attended to.

    Sovak -> ::reaches up an shuts his terminal down::

    Eva Jaz -> +JAXA+ You said the magic work.. save me a seat

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::stands up, behind his desk:: Come in

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::her office is a cubby just off of station OPS:::

    Bob Figaro -> +Farrington+ Uh, this is Figaro. I'm aboard the Manticore. You want me at station operations?

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::enters the RR, steps in front of the Admiral, and stands at attention:: Reporting as ordered Admiral.

    kyle_mele -> ::slows down, nearing the double-doors leading to Sickbay::

    kyle_mele -> ::enters::

    MC_Escher -> T'Prise, I... ::struggling for words:: I understand our relationship has been tumultuous, but I also feel that we're close enough for you to tell me the truth. Am I wrong?

    Vilanne -> ::standing, frozen at the door::

    Eva Jaz -> ::nods at Mele, as she encounters him by the doors: Boss...

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::looks up:: +Figaro+ Affirmative.

    Kansas Kenickie -> We need laser Cannons

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::stands, facing Faldek and taking a measure of the Cardassian for a moment::

    Ian_Syndrx -> To make a long and complicated story short, you all were in an alternate reality. While in that reality the Ian Syndrx that belonged to that reality came aboard. That is the Ian you have in your morgue.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods at Mele, watching his reaction to Ian's presence in the room:: ::also watching Ian very closely indeed::

    Bob Figaro -> ::rolls his eyes:: I swear to everything that people with power always stink. ::grumbles and starts walking back off the ship::

    Capt Calestorm -> <::looks about for cover in case Ninja Hug does not go well::>

    LtCdrFaldek -> Of course sir. ::takes a seat::

    kyle_mele -> ::headtilt::

    T'Prise -> :: Still hesitant to say anything, but forges on ahead, eyes softening a bit. :: The business is of a personal nature.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Ah. ::still looking somewhat skeptical, but picks up a tricorder::

    kyle_mele -> Would someone care to explain?

    Keb -> @leans against the railing in front of the large window, watching the little machines working on Manticore's exterior::

    McFly -> you realize how few missions we get where boom is required

    Vilanne -> ::slowly talking to Mele:: Boss... he's... dead...er... undead... or... I don't know.

    Bob Figaro -> @::officially walks back onto the station:: My luggage better not have gotten lost. ::thinking of a particular item of interest, sighs::

    kyle_mele -> ::nodding quietly::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> I see that you have been a big help in Engineering, both motivating our crew and coordinating with station repair teams

    Bob Figaro -> @::enters a lift and requests his destination::

    Kansas Kenickie -> It would be nice to have the option

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::receiving a negative, she leaves directions for them to direct one Figaro to her office/cubby:::

    Ian_Syndrx -> You are welcome to run scans on me and my counterpart. Check the quantum signature of our bodies, it will confirm what I am saying.

    LtCdrFaldek -> Thank you sir, just doing the job that you asked me to perform.

    Eva Jaz -> ::fast forward herself to the station , making a mental note to ask about the zombie scientist when she get back::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::then returns to review his file:::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> And how are you... enjoying it down there?

    Eva Jaz -> Josh> ::sitting in sb , even if he's off , waiting for a chance to ask Jai out when she gets off shift::

    MC_Escher -> Okay. You can still tell me. Our relationship certainly transcends that of the chain of command at this point. ::brings his hands halway up as if to put them on hers, then thinks better of it and replaces them at his sides:: You can talk to me.

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Finds a nice table on the promenade outside the cafe to wait for Eva::

    Bob Figaro -> @::as he exits the lift onto station operations:: Should have taken the job as a parole officer...

    McFly -> aren't the quantum proximity mines enough?

    kyle_mele -> So I see

    LtCdrFaldek -> Well it has been quite busy, and the engineering crew seems to be well trained. Overall, I have not been bored.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods at Ian:: Have a seat...rekkhai.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Station OPS guy> ::points Figaro in the direction of her office:::

    Kansas Kenickie -> Noo

    Eva Jaz -> :: walks around the station , happy to be out of sickbay for a change::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::faintly questioning look at Mele to see if he has any orders on the subject::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> I see...

    Vilanne -> ::slowly moving over near the biobed that Ian's sitting on, watching Jaiysa's vitals she's taking::

    Bob Figaro -> @::sighs, puts on his face and presses the door chime::

    McFly -> ::sighs:: fine, but we're only getting two

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::sits down on an empty biobed and lets the doctors convince themselves that he is alive::

    LtCdrFaldek -> For the most part I would say it has been ... enjoyable and challenging.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::scan scan scan::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::stands, moving to the door to greet him:: Enter...

    T'Prise -> :: Thinks for a moment, then determines that he does have a right to know. :: I require treatment from Vulcan specialist for the head injuries I have sustained. I am seeking to have the vestigal emotions brought on by the trauma and our mind meld purged.

    Kansas Kenickie -> Woohoo!! ::Lifts arms in a touch down pose::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> How would you feel about continuing with that challenge?

    kyle_mele -> ::nods:: It is not altogether such a surprising theory.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> This ship is in need of a Chief Engineer

    Sovak -> ::stands and Picard's his uniform, heading for the door of his quarters

    Eva Jaz -> ::spots < no pun intented> the other Trill sitting in the coffee shop::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::tilts his head a bit:: What about Chief Garnoopy?

    Bob Figaro -> @::groans under his breath before entering, putting on the require neutral face:: Figaro, reporting at ordered. ::gives something that resembles a salute::

    Eva Jaz -> @::grabs an @ as she walks in waving to Jaxa::

    MC_Escher -> ::face darkens:: I was worried that it was something like that. T'Prise...I know that I will not change your mind. You're still free to go to Vulcan. But, just so it's on the record, I think that the vestigial emotions you're feeling are in fact kernels...

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Chief Garnoopy's wounds and plans have taken him from Manticore

    Keb -> ::still vaguely calculating her husband's whereabouts in the last couple of days...he probably didn't have a chance to go unsupervised on the holodeck...::

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Looks up at Eva approaching and waves::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Ltjg Figaro... ::extending her hand:: Cmdr Farrington. Please...::gestures:: relax. Take a seat.

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::blinks:: I would be honored, Admiral.

    MC_Escher -> ...and are to be nurtured, not expunged. I think getting rid of them will be pretty impossible. Emotions are like that.

    Bob Figaro -> @::clears his throat and meets the hand:: Commander. ::without further comment, takes the chair::

    Vilanne -> ::glances at Mele after seeing the test results, grabs her own tricorder and heads towards status where the other body is supposed to be::

    aiysa t'Tamarak -> No. Given the current situation it makes sense. ::eyes tricorder:: The readings do identify him as Erei'riov Syndrx.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> This would mean a fulltime job, you would be leaving Security

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::averts his eyes slightly:: I understand sir.

    Eva Jaz -> ::pulls a chair across from Asteria:: Picked the best place on the station old friend ::smiles and takes a deep breath of java aroma::

    McFly -> ::looks around at some of the other weapons:: it'd be nice if they'd start coming out with some melee stuff

    Vilanne -> ::opens the status chamber after decompressioning and enters, looking for the stored body::

    T'Prise -> :: Looks somewhat perplexed. :: I understand that from your point of view emotions are something to be cultivated, however, they are of concern when juxtaposed with Vulcan logic. I cannot meditate, I cannot focus, and it is probable that I am a liability..

    T'Prise -> to this ship and crew without treatment.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::pulling up her own chair, amiable expression:: We try not to stand too much on ceremony on Manticore, Mr. Figaro. Welcome aboard, in a manner of speaking.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> So I will ask again. Do you wish to become the Manticore's Chief Engineer?

    LtCdrFaldek -> Yes sir.

    Ian_Syndrx -> Of course I'm Ian. I've run test myself in the science lab. Do you have any idea how disconcerting it is to come back home after a 6 month temporary assignment and find a death certificate waiting with your name on it?

    Sovak -> ::enters TL:: Bridge

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Smiles at Eva:: What can I say old habbits die hard even after 3 lifetimes the coffee calls to me

    Bob Figaro -> @::nods slightly, resisting the urge to shrug and say 'If you only knew...':: Yes, Commander.

    Keb -> @::tilts head and brushes a curl out of her eyes, thinking..."and he definitely was with me last night..."::

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::grabs a knife, plays with it::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Until the operations console is operational I'm working from here. Sorry for the detour you had to take..::pulls up his file:::

    MC_Escher -> You're a liability if your emotions are raging uncontrolled through your psyche. I get the impression that the kind you're feeling are of a different, quieter, and less harmful nature. I'm pretty sure Vulcans can feel love...or affection...without damage

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::stands, smiling:: Very good! I took the liberty of having this ready for you

    LtCdrFaldek -> I am honored you would choose me.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Since you're on Maturin Station, I'm sure you are aware that Manticore is not exactly a tugboat? ::a question::

    Bob Figaro -> @::fails to respond, suddenly thinking of his luggage::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::faint smile:: Na. No idea. ::snaps tricorder shut and glances at Mele::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::stands with the Admiral::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::hands him the Eng. Comm badge (we don't do blue uniforms, do we?)

    Sovak -> ::enters the bridge, still a bustle of activity, open panels and optical cable strung everywhere::

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::mutters:: At least you have THAT figured out...

    Bob Figaro -> @::blinks, looking at Farrington and giving one hell of an acting job:: Of course, sir.

    Vilanne -> ::lifts the cover, notes the body, starts scanning::

    Eva Jaz -> ::grins:: I think Jaz is addicted ::on cue the waiter appears and takes her order for a Trill size double shot cafe americano::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::offers his hand to Faldek:: Congratulations, Chief

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::takes the new comm badge::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::shakes A-9's hand:: Thank you, Sir.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::nod:: And you're fully qualified in her advanced technological systems?

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::then back to Ian, more businesslike:: Did au need something? ::a little dryly:: Beyond suffering a great deal of disbelief?

    T'Prise -> I am concerned that this lapse in judgement, allowing the emotions to propogate unchecked may also lead to other complication, complications that defy both regulations and logic.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Because.... I see no notation in your file.

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ I hadn'

    Bob Figaro -> @::shrugs slightly, privately thinking 'What the hell....':: I have been briefed, sir, not fully uh...vested yet in all the information.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Computer, please note the change in crew manifest, effective immediately. Lt. Commander Beran Faldek is now the Chief Engineer and is no longer a member of the Security Department

    Eva Jaz -> @::waiting for her coffee:: So I ran into one of your colleague on my way out .. You know anything about his resucitaton?

    Asteria Jaxa -> been in a while well till i came aboard something about starships and coffee

    Vilanne -> ::convinced that this body is dead, processes some DNA and bio-signatures for marking. while they process by the computer, closes up, seals the chamber, recompresses::

    STSF_BluRox -> <there is a reason my tag line is the Resident Evil>

    MC_Escher -> ::Escher sits back and makes a wry comment:: Emotions tend to do both. I hope you find what you're looking for on Vulcan, T'Prise. God knows we all need a break.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> COMPUTER> Acknowledged

    Ian_Syndrx -> Medically I'm fine, but I would like to have the deceased line on my starfleet record erased, it makes it difficult to get any work done.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::leaning back, conversational tone, not confrontational:: Tell me what you did at the R&D Facility Triacus.

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::lets a smile cross his lips::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Alright, Chief, get outta here and fix my ship!

    Vilanne -> ::Vil's scan was after Jaiysa's scan, so Ian's medical record AGAIN records him being dead::

    LtCdrFaldek -> Of course sir. ::turns on heel and exits the RR::

    Bob Figaro -> @::shrugs, moving right into the script:: Nothing huge sir, traditional stuff for someone right out of schooling.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Elaborate. Indulge me.

    Vilanne -> ::returns to Mele and t'Tamarak:: He's dead... I mean... he's ::points to status:: Dead...

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::looks puzzled a moment:: ooh Syndrx yes that came as quit a shock to me as well, apparently the Syndrx that died was from the other reality, this ones been here waiting for us to pick him up

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::picking up some strange vibes..something about luggage:::

    T'Prise -> :: Trying to steer the conversation in another direction. :: I would recommend that you also use this opportunity to rest and recuperate from our recent mission. You have also incurred traumas from which you will need to recover.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::reflects privately that in certain lines of work, being listed as dead is imperative, but this isn't one of them:: Ie. We'll see to it. ::hearing Vil:: I think.

    Keb -> @::winds up just hoping it wasn't too big an offense::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::heads for the TL:: Main Engineering. +Keb+ Please come to Main Engineering.

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::points at the stasis drawer:: He is dead. ::points at himself:: I am alive.

    kyle_mele -> And yet, alive. ::nodding to the Ian sitting on the biobed ::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::sits down at his desk again:: +McFly+ Lt. Commander McFly, come in, please

    kyle_mele -> Did you compare the quantum signatures?

    Eva Jaz -> @::nods as if it was the most normal thing in the world:: Oh that means I get to assist on the autopsy of an alternate universe Syndrx .. that's different....So what's new with you? adjusting well to Manticore?

    Keb -> @::gives her communicator a strange look and then answers:: +Faldek+ Sure, I'll be right there. Everything okay?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::So he dances around the issue...:::regards him a minute before continuing:::

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::Throws knife::

    LtCdrFaldek -> +Keb+ Yes. Faldek out.

    McFly -> +A9+ mcfly here

    Bob Figaro -> @::tosses in:: Though the politics are just as heavy....::under his breath::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::tosses the tricorder containing her readings from Alive!Ian towards Vil::

    MC_Escher -> ::sighs:: You know, I thought that losing Syndrx was the end. It might have been if I hadn't gotten him back...we hadn't. My emotions are all mixed up right now. Maybe I need to do some meditation myself.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> +McFly+ Mr. McFly, I'm sorry to hit you with mre staffing issues in Security, but Mr. Faldek has been removed from your department

    Vilanne -> Yeah, I know... he's alive. ::points at this Ian:: But ::points to status:: He's dead.

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::exits the TL and enters Main Engineering::

    kyle_mele -> ::headtilt:: So were many of us..

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::Lifts right brow::

    kyle_mele -> Remember?

    McFly -> ::looks up from his padd:: +A9+ has he now? may i ask why?

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::smiles:: As well as can be expected on board not even a week and thrown into a alternate universe, the lab has proven very intresting well the crew in the lab anyhow

    T'Prise -> :: Eyes go soft for a moment. :: You are also mourning the loss of the child.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::politics::nods:: Very well. You are assigned as an engineering officer. We have a new chief... Lt Cmdr Faldek. You will report to him immediately after finding your quarters. ::hands him a chit with his quarters location:::....

    Vilanne -> I am checking against Jaiysa's readings now to see who is who.

    Keb -> @::shrugs and heads over to the ship::

    Sovak -> ::moves a panel cover from the CC which gains him a dirty look from a Maturin Engineer, until he see's who moved it. The engineer quickly moves some other stuff out of his way, by way of apology::

    Bob Figaro -> @::looks back at Farrington:: I honestly wish I could be more specific sir. ::takes the chit:: Thank you, sir.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ If you have any problems with your quarters, let me know. We underwent quite a journey to the station and are still under repairs. Any questions?

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks around, and heads for the Chief's office and enters::

    Eva Jaz -> @::accepts her coffee , smiling at the waiter:: A week only? Sleep deprivation makes keeping track of time surprisingly difficult

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> +McFly+ Because I needed a new Chief Engineer, so I stole him from you

    Bob Figaro -> @::pauses:: I am certain I will have many, Commander, but at the moment I have none.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ Specific? You will find out soon enough. If a cloaked station didn't clue you in, perhaps your chief of engineering can.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::nod:: Good. Glad to hear there is progress...::her console blinks:::

    MC_Escher -> ::eyes widen:: You know, I keep forgetting about him. Which sounds horrible, but...I never knew him. When you consider it, really, that boy was not my child. It was child of Escher's, but a different Escher. I mourn for him the way I would mourn any...

    McFly -> +A9+ understood, i'll look into bring someone in to replace him

    kyle_mele -> ::nods to Ian:: I'm happy to see you're alive.

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks around the office, noting it being clear of all of Garnoopy's belongings::

    Sovak -> ::begins his own diagnostic on the arm terminal::

    Bob Figaro -> @::raises an eyebrow:: Yes, sir.

    Kansas Kenickie -> Does this mean we can steal someone from another department?!

    Vilanne -> ::bumps her PADD against Jaiysa's to move the data over for a match. watches over Jaiysa's shoulder for results::

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::Bounces::

    kyle_mele -> ::Vil:: Record the findings in your report. After you've finished up here, release Mr Syndrx back to active duty.

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ It would seem like just yesterday if I didn't know any better ::sips on her coffee thinking for a moment about the past few weeks::

    McFly -> i doubt it's that easy

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::smile:: Progress indeed. It seems the operations console is complete on the bridge. I'll accompany you back to the ship.

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::returns the nod:: Thank you, Doctor

    MC_Escher -> ...stranger's child. It does hurt a little, though, knowing that if we had transitioned days earlier I could have met him. ::eyes go less wide:: Well. I will meet my child someday. Maybe just not quite yet.

    Keb -> :;slips onto the Manticore and finds a convenient TL::

    Bob Figaro -> @::clears his throat and smiles:: My honor then sir. ::stands from the chair::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::terminates the transmission, noting to have her information transferred to the ship:::

    Eva Jaz -> @::drinks her coffee looking blissful , eyeing the waiters::

    Keb -> Computer, Main Engineering, please.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> PADD> ::assert that the Ians are from different universes::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::deep breath:: Relax, Lieutenant. If you don't you'll have a rough ride.

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::sits in the chair, kicks his feet up on the desk, trying it on::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::exits ahead of him, allowing him to fall into step next to her:::

    Bob Figaro -> @::looks at Farrington, tilting his head:: Actually Commander, I am the most relaxed I have been in weeks. ::smiles and follows::

    kyle_mele -> ::retreats into his office to finalize the thankfully shrinking mound of "paper"work that has presented itself::

    LtCdrFaldek -> Wow this is... perfect.

    T'Prise -> :: Stares at Escher for a moment, wondering at his implication. :: I do believe that someday, you will have a child, Commander. Your mourning of this child's loss is both sensible and rational. The individuals of the alternate universe are not the same...

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ It's nice to be back to our own universe, how are the Bolians doing?

    T'Prise -> as we, and they never will be.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::exits the RR onto the Bridge:: Ahh, Captain Sovak

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::glad she hasn't seen him agitated, only gives him an acknowledging smile:::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::stands up, and walks out of the office::

    Sovak -> ::looks up:: Admiral.

    Kansas Kenickie -> We needs more smokers ::Picks up smoke granades::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::stops at the rail around the core, and looks around::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> I have transferred Mr. Faldek to the Chief Engineer position

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::enters the lift:: Manticore docking bay.

    Vilanne -> ::glances at Jaiysa:: My head hurts... I need coffee for this one. ::turns and goes to the coffee machine::

    Sovak -> ::nods:: I noted.

    Bob Figaro -> @::following, standing silently::

    McFly -> don't forget the flashbangs

    Sovak -> ::taps his terminal:: Duty roster is already updated.

    MC_Escher -> ::nods:: Of course. The death of child, while horrific, doesn't hurt me the way it used to. Life in spec ops numbs the pain, I guess. What hurt more are the possibilities. The what ifs, the spiraling alternatives...makes me want to visit all of them.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods slowly:: We should have tested this during the post mortem, probably.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::simple query:: Family?

    Eva Jaz -> @We were right , the alternate universe was acting on them like a toxin on their nervous sytems , they came back on their own within minutes of crossing over but it's too early to determine if there will be long term side effects

    Bob Figaro -> @::clears his throat:: Complicated, sir.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> I bet he wll be motivated to impress me. that can only help us be ready for our departure.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Ian> At any rate...this seems about as conclusive as one can expect. We'll have au records adjusted.

    Keb -> ::steps out onto Main Engineering as the doors open, and looks around for Beran::

    LtCdrFaldek -> Over here Keb, doesn't even turn around.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::Picard breath:: As is mine. ::exits at the bay:::

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ I do hope they make a full recovery

    Bob Figaro -> @::tilts his head, on cue:: Though, my depature from the Corps is...a loss. They have been my family for so long, especially certain persons.

    Vilanne -> ::pours coffee, tripple sugar, tripple cream - you know, cake in a cup::

    Ian_Syndrx -> Jai> Thank You doctor. I'm going to get back to work - unless you need anything else from me?

    Bob Figaro -> @::glances up without moving his head, following Farrington::

    Keb -> ::smiles and follows his voice, coming up beside him:: Pretty, isn't it? So what did the Admiral want?

    Sovak -> Agreed. I'm sure he will be a sufficient Chief.

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::smirks:: food shopping is fun sometimes

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks at Keb:: I'm the new Chief Engineering.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::somewhat taken aback:: Departure from the corps?

    McFly -> look at this, they got an updated MPD :: picks it up; puts it on:: looks like the sensors have been tweaked

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Why Captain, that's high praise from you

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::shakes head:: Na for the moment. We'll let au know if necessary.

    Eva Jaz -> @::nods , her face half buried in her cup::

    Bob Figaro -> @::pauses:: I apologize sir, I expected you were familiar with my file. The Corps of Engineers? We are like family, sir....disfunctional though.

    Bob Figaro -> @::smirks ever so slightly for obvious and private reasons::

    Sovak -> ::raises an eyebrow:: He has, so far, given me no reason to doubt it. I will be watching, however.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::entering the ship through a walkway::: I see. For a moment there I thought there were some Marines in your background.

    Keb -> ::binks and then gasps with delight, throwing her arms around him:: Really? That's awesome! Congratulations!

    McFly -> ::looks at the manual:: it now reads the signiture from the comm badge and highlights friendlys in green

    T'Prise -> I am pleased that you seem to be handling the grief in a logical manner. It would not do to dwell on the what ifs and possible futures in life. A sage human philosopher once said:

    T'Prise -> You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays.

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ I don't which i like more the caffine or the sugar ::playing with her cup::

    Bob Figaro -> @::opens his mouth then closes it:: I have had...encounters with Marines, sir. They do not seem to normally take kindly to the people who know how to break their guns.

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::gets up from the biobed and heads for the science lab::

    McFly -> very nice

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::hearty chuckle:: I know what you mean.

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::accepts the hug:: I've gotta get this ship ready for whatever our next mission is, I wanna get it there ahead of schedule.

    Bob Figaro -> ::to himself:: Or knock them on the ground in five seconds.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::watches him go out and then puffs out a slow breath:: Phuppphhh...

    MC_Escher -> ::gives T'Prise a very Vulcan eyebrow:: I didn't know you were read up on human philosophers. They're an...eclectic bunch.

    Eva Jaz -> @::looks at Jaxa like she just said she likes to fry babies for dinner :: Sugar ... in coffee... Sacrilege!!!!

    Vilanne -> ::hand slightly shaking while drinking the coffee and walking towards Jaiysa::

    Kansas Kenickie -> I love flash bags ::Juggles 3::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::stops, turns to face him:: Welcome aboard, Mr. Figaro. You can find your quarters, then report to LtCdr Faldek in engineering.

    T'Prise -> A classmate during my studies at the academy was very fond of a phenomena entitled: Broadway musicals.

    McFly -> they are great for surprising a room full of targets aren't they

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::smiles and laughs out loud at Jaz's comment:: ooh of course its the caffine

    Bob Figaro -> @::pauses:: With your clearance, my dear Commander, I'll visit the Lieutenant Commander then make sure my luggage wasn't sent to Andoria.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::grin:: Of course. Carry on.

    Eva Jaz -> @::narrows eyes jokingly:: Better be!

    Bob Figaro -> ::turns and walks down a corridor away from her, letting out a deep sigh::

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::walks into the lab and activates his console. The console recognizes his voiceprint and loads up his terminal system. He sits down and starts sorting alt-Ian's research into a seperate directory.::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> @ ::enters a separate lift for the bridge:::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::picks up a PADD, checking over what has and hasnt been fixed::

    Vilanne -> ::stops drinking and speaks to jaiysa:: If it was anything other than October, I'd still not believe what we've witnessed.

    MC_Escher -> ::snorts a little:: I wouldn't quite define musicals as philosophy...but actually, I see your point now. You just had great insight into human culture, T'Prise, if by accident

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Vil> ::dryly:: He was na a ghost, rokhinu.

    Bob Figaro -> ::shakes his head, walking down the corridor grabs a padd from someone randomly as he enters a lift::

    Keb -> ::nods:: I guess that means your vacation's over.

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::still giggling at Jaz:: It feels good to laugh though even if it means threating sugar in coffee

    Bob Figaro -> ::as he reads over the document, entering in several queries:: Engineering.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::pauses as the door opens onto the bridge, which, the last time she saw it, was in shambles:::

    Vilanne -> I know... I know.... but he's walking dead. It's Oct... wait. Do you have Halloween on Romulus?

    Keb -> ::taking in the delicious smell of Engineering::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::spots that he has a new Engineer, that was only briefed on the unclassified specs of : Oh dear.

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::wants to throw one::

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::after sorting out his files, Ian starts composing a brief report on the scientific circumstances that led to the demise of alt-ian::

    McFly -> ::gets a message on his padd saying torpedos have been completely restocked::

    LtCdrFaldek -> Yes, and I've got a new Engineer too.

    Eva Jaz -> @::grins:: Working under Lt Cmdr T'Prise I guess you don't get to laugh a lot .. I met the woman

    T'Prise -> :: Finishes her meal, thinking about what Escher just said. :: My studies into human culture have been extensive.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::weaves her way around a few workers, stepping over tool kits and supplies on her way to the operations console:::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Na.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> There is a similar festival honoring the dead, of course.

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ She's not so bad she reminds me of Tabias' wife Tevah, He really loved that crazy Vulcan

    Bob Figaro -> ::nods to himself, exiting the lift and walking into a corridor near engineering::

    Kansas Kenickie -> how long we going to be hitched up here?

    MC_Escher -> T'Prise, no matter how much you read, there's some insight that you only get by being part of a culture. Although for someone who hates emotions as much as you, you certainly are fascinated by humans and their emotions

    McFly -> ::notes KK having far too much fun tossing flashbangs into the air:: I know what you're thinking and it's really going to suck for me if you throw that

    Vilanne -> Oh Jaiysa! It's a wonderful time when people dress up in all sorts of costumes, as humans, aliens,... tons of other races... and they even make up some. It's facinating!

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::gives Keb a kiss:: GO spend some time with the girls...

    Keb -> Goodness, you will be busy then. Let me know if you need extra hands...I'm a little rusty, but I kinda miss being here.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Captain. ::in greeting, to Sovak:: It looks as though at least the operations console is.... operable.

    Vilanne -> Tell me about your festival?

    McFly -> from what I was told as long as it takes to repair the ship

    Keb -> ::smiles at him, squeezing his hand::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::almost sits on a tool, glad she checked:::

    Bob Figaro -> ::turns the corner and walks into engineering....blinking at the entire scene and immediately putting his hand up to rub his chin as if natural::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> A good deal more serious and less interesting. ::dryly::

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::puts his report in the secure science records and sends a copy to the ship's medical database::

    T'Prise -> I do not dislike emotions, as you are suggesting, I merely have no place for them in my own life. My fascination merely stems from the way humans deal with emotions and the consequences they must face as a result of those emotions.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::turns to Jami:: Yes, the repairs are going along at speed

    Sovak -> ::nods:: I believe so. It will need a complete diagnostics, of course.

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::spots someone he doesnt recognize and walks over:: Lieutenant Figaro?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::peers over an open panel:: Hello, Admiral. That they are.

    Bob Figaro -> ::to himself:: What in the name of....::notes the Cardassian approaching, acting 102:: Yes...::pauses:: Lieutenant Commander.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Sovak:: Agreed, Captain. Which I am about to begin.

    LtCdrFaldek -> I am Chief Faldek.

    Vilanne -> Oh... someday, I hope you share more of the details... YOU think it's boring, I bet I'd enjoy it!

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::having resolved his paperwork problems, Ian calls up the files on the ship repairs and reads through the sensor repair schedule::

    Bob Figaro -> ::clears his throat:: New chief, I believe. ::tilting his head::

    Vilanne -> ::finishes the coffee:: I think I'll go station side, and finish my shift talking with the doctors that are watching over the Bolians.

    Keb -> ::watches her husband go to work for a moment before leaving Engineering::

    LtCdrFaldek -> Yes. So rumor is that you haven't been fully briefed on Manticore.

    MC_Escher -> ::waves his hand:: Of course, of course. I've heard it all before. Tell me, T'Prise, haven't you heard the maxim that either extreme of an issue is wrong? Vulcans were dangerously emotional, yes, but couldn't one argue that a complete lack of emotions is..

    MC_Escher -> just as bad?

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::Puts bags down:: your no fun :P

    Bob Figaro -> ::examines the Cardassian, having about thirty thoughts....why does his head look like a spoon, continues:: Like most rumors, it is full of rubbish. I haven't had a chance to fully get into all the details, some review of papers will clear that all up.

    Bob Figaro -> ::smiles::

    Eva Jaz -> ::sighs watching the cute waiter pass by again:: I think I'm starting to get over Richard ... it was hard when he transfered out and all ...

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::makes several additions to the sensor maintenance to add the new enhancements he developed during his time at Utopia Planitia::

    Keb -> ::quietly exits through the turbolift, with a slight wave of greeting to Figaro on the way::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::sitting at the console, beginning a full diagnostic, dusting the panel's surface as she watches it run:::

    T'Prise -> I hope to one day have a full understanding of emotions and their place in the Vulcan pysche. :: Pushes back from the table and stands, looking down at Escher for a moment. :: I must depart for my transport.

    LtCdrFaldek -> Well a little tour... ::points at the core:: This is the primary warp core.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods:: I'll follow you in a while; I can deal with Mr. Syndrx's paperwork.

    T'Prise -> :: Raises her hand in the traditional Vulcan gesture. :: Live long and prosper, Malcolm.

    MC_Escher -> ::nods and waves the glass he had been drinking from:: Of course. T'Prise? One final thing?

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::takes a few steps to get out of the way of a bulkhead filled with consoles and goes to the other side::

    Bob Figaro -> ::following lines that don't necessarily go where they should:: Yes...followed by another.

    Vilanne -> Thanks Jaiysa. ::heads over to the station after leaving sickbay with another full cup of cake-in-a-cup::

    T'Prise -> :: Turns to look back at him. ::

    Eva Jaz -> @::takes another sip:: and you ... how's the love life?

    LtCdrFaldek -> We have two cores, including duplicate EPS conduits, and intermix chambers.

    MC_Escher -> You're my favorite Vulcan science officer on Manticore. Be good to yourself. I want you back in one piece. ::waves her off:: Now go and catch that transport

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::smiles reassuringly at Eva:: Well it was a hard time to loose him, but just remember you still have good friends who are here for you take all the time you need...::grins:: but that waiter is really cute.

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::gets a cup of coffe from the replicator and starts working on the sensor control programs, removing some of the modifications his counterpart made and making extensive changes to implement his new enhancements::

    Bob Figaro -> ::pauses, oh why the hell not:: I am certain given this ship's assignments, the extra power is always a plus. ::forces a smile::

    Eva Jaz -> @::grins mischivieously:: I noticed

    Keb -> ::heads back to the station, thoughts busy with everything that Beran's promotion means::

    Vilanne -> @::exits Manticore and walks through the station until she gets to the medical ward::

    Kansas Kenickie -> we are done.. lets get food.. I need to eat

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ ooh mine ::looks at her cup:: well I suppose it's non-existant right now

    McFly -> ::finishes ordering supplies; next order of buisness, runs down list of availible NPC standby's that can replace faldek::

    T'Prise -> :: Pauses for a moment, then before she can think it through, performs a ritual she has seen done by many humans, leans down and kisses him on the cheek. Swiftly turns and exits before he can respond. ::

    LtCdrFaldek -> We also have bio-nueral gel packs instead of the isolinear systems.

    Bob Figaro -> ::shrugs, as if not really impressed by the statement::

    MC_Escher -> ::mouth drops, cup pauses halfway to his mouth, and just stares at the retreating Vulcan in complete and utter surprise::

    Eva Jaz -> @::makes a pouting face:: WE'll have to remedy to that next time we get more than a couple hours leave!

    LtCdrFaldek -> Well then. Any questions or complaints?

    Asteria Jaxa -> @ ::nods:: that would be nice for a change

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> and...

    Bob Figaro -> ::blinks, clears his throat:: You've walked me fifteen feet, shown me the warp reactor and said you have gel for computer relays....hu, no not really, sir.

    MC_Escher -> ::rubs his cheek absentmindedly where the kiss had been planted:: Well, wasn't that...something. ::gazes blissfully into the distance::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> =/\======= PAUSE SIM =======/\=

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Okay folks, time for an award

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> The Command Crew has discussed and agreed upon a Meritorious Log Writing Award

    Sovak -> Can the budget handle all these awards, Admiral. The medals are expensive you know.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> We present the award to Ian Syndrx for "Tears Not For Myself"

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> (w) Sovak, it's just tin foil

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> and while we're clapping, let's also welcome Mr. Figaro to Engineering!

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Welcome, Mr. Figaro!

    Sovak -> (w) Have you checked the price on tin lately?

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Welcome, Arrain.

    Ian_Syndrx -> Welcome to Manticore, where you die and still have to do paperwork

    Kansas Kenickie -> Welcome BoB

    LtCdrFaldek -> Welcome indeed.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> We kill ya, and THEN we go to work on you!

    Bob Figaro -> Hu? Yeah, right, sure.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Okay, TBS is another two days

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Sovak, Jami - comments?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Question okay?

    Sovak -> Welcome Bob, Grats Ian. Good sim the rest of you :)

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Sure, go for it

    Cmdr JFarrington -> We're gonna be here a while, yes?

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> We have another six days of repairs

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> so, after next week, four more days

    T'Prise -> :: Has now transferred her attention to Escher. :: This would indeed explain the unusual nature of the message left to you by the other Ian Syndrx and support my thesis that your ideas were based upon an alternate reality.

    Mr. Marx, I kinda wanted to keep them here so one doesnt have to access another site. I'll visit imageshack..I 've worked a bit with them in the past I dont think I've ever shrunk an image using it. Heck I know I could just post these on FB...but Id rather not disclose so much info about myself in the process.

    THe ditz.

     

    Precip,

     

    Working with XP Pro here and I use Photoshop to shrink. Also, if you use Imageshack or Photobucket, the image appears in this window while residing on another site. You use the "insert image" feature on the posting tools bar ::points up::, tell it where to point to and it comes up in your post. But it looks like you've got the hang of it already with your posting of the "Qob."


  5. Trapped in the Void

     

    In everything there is a pause, a time when there is nothing before there is something, a gathering breath before a decision is made whether to proceed, to return, or to cease altogether. Such is the nature of the universe. Such is the nature of things seen and things unseen.

     

    Between beats, the heart rests. Between breaths, the diaphragm relaxes. Between thoughts there is a period of thoughtless indecision, a void waiting to be filled, a spark caught mid-way from one synapse to another.

     

    And through it all – between the beats, the breaths, and the thoughts – there is the void.

     

    Like the void between living and dying, when the body is no longer alive and not yet dead. The consciousness – that which makes us who we are, that which distinguishes us from others in the universe – has left, but the heart continues to beat, the diaphragm contracts and relaxes, the body fights to maintain the status quo, to keep the body going despite the absence of its most vital component. It is the void between being and becoming, a void as small as a thought and as great as a chasm.

     

    And what better place for Jami Farrington to ponder these things than in the MedLab, just outside the morgue, where so many bodies lay battered from their transition through the void, from one reality to another. Beyond the door lay the body of Ian Syndrx - dead in that reality, alive in this one. Between thumb and forefinger, Jami held a DNA sample taken from her body - dead in that reality, alive in this one.

     

    “You’re late.” Jeremy Stone half-sat on the counter next to Jami and crossed his arms as though waiting for... something.

     

    She had been aware of a presence beside her, but had ignored her colleague in favor of turning the DNA sample over in her hands, then tracing its outline with one finger, as though the very act would change it somehow, would make it not hers.

     

    “I know.” She continued to stare. To trace.

     

    “I thought you’d be one of the first down here.” The implied question being Why are you here now? Why are you here... at all?

     

    He’d probably been though this conversation at least a thousand times since retrieving the samples from the destroyed Manticore. The Manticore from the other universe, from the alternate reality conceived by taking another path, born through making another decision, or turning a different way than they had in the reality they knew as home.

     

    He was older, and had pretty much seen it all - or at least a heck of a lot more than most. Easy-going. No-nonsense. Jami knew him well enough to know that he was letting his unease seep through for a darned good reason. There was a warning behind it. He knew what she was thinking and the subtext of his body language was clear. You’re losing it. Don’t go there.

     

    The last half hour of staring, of pondering the imponderable, of contorting her brain until it hurt had not changed the DNA samples. They were still hers, a part of her... and not a part of her.

     

    She was caught in the void.

     

    “Let it go, Jami.”

     

    Let it go. Could she? Would she ever?

     

    “Let it go.” Gently, he prodded the sample from her, holding her hand in his until she stood and turned to face him, still lost, trapped by a puzzle she’d never solve. “We’re home. That’s all that matters.”


  6. USS Manticore Mission Update - October 4, 2010

     

    After extensive review of the evidence, it was determined that the USS Manticore and crew had somehow slipped into a parallel universe, one in which Admiral Atragon was still a captain, there existed a war between the Federation and Arcturus, and the Manticore had been destroyed with a loss of all hands in an attempt to neutralize the Arcturuian threat to the Federation.

     

    To return to the proper time line, they located the swiftly-moving dust storm that held the portal. Using untested and dangerously unpredictable slipstream technology, they barely navigated the distance, emerging badly damaged on the other side. Sitting dead in space, Maturin Station came to them. They are presently undergoing repairs.

     

    Strangely enough, Science Officer Ian Syndrx, who was killed in the chaos during the slipstream transfer, met the ship at Maturin Station.


  7. =/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #629, STARDATE 51010.04 =/\=

    The Manticore had slipped into a parallel universe that is almost identical to our own. Science has verified that this occurred when the ship passed through a dust storm on its way to Maturin Station over two weeks ago. We found the same storm and Science used a slipstream system and the storm's unique properties to get home. We have successfully navigated the slipstream tunnel with the ship sustaining great damage. We have been in contact with Consul General Yendis and help is on the way.

  8. =/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #628, STARDATE 51009.27 =/\=

    The Manticore has slipped into a parallel universe that is almost identical to our own. Science has verified that this occurred when the ship passed through a dust storm on its way to Maturin Station almost two weeks ago. We have now found the same storm again and Science hopes to use a slipstream system and the storm's unique properties to get home. Yet the storm is dissapating quickly and the slipstream test has failed. We only have one chance to get out of this universe, and it's coming at us too soon.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::taps the console sharply, making a noise of frustration::

    AlexRamirez -> Thanks Ensign. I've been going over the systems, specifically the more jury-rigged ones. It's ok, Ensign, mine gets just as scuffed up when I'm doing repairs in the jefferys tubes.

    Eva Jaz -> ::poor herself a cup and drown it in a second :: Jai> You were saying ?!

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::dryly:: You know where to find it.

    Vilanne -> ::quietly watches the gals go to the coffee maker area:: Well, looks like we all rested well.

    AlexRamirez -> Secondly, the jury-rigged phaser banks seem to not be at 100% due to degredation in the relays. We're going to have a definate problem if we need them and they're not at full strength.

    T'Prise -> +Syndrx+ I believe I have a achieved a stable scenario for projecting this slipstream tunnel. How soon before the re-rerouted power to the main deflector dish is online?

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> I was saying he has na improved.

    MC_Escher -> ::fighting frayed nerves to keep a civil tongue with the Admiral:: This is obscenely complicated stuff. Even once everything is in place we'll have to run a series of tests in order to make sure this thing doesn't rip the Manticore in half

    Ian_Syndrx -> +T'Prise+ Engineering teams are almost done reinforcing the EPS conduit from the engines to the deflector dish, I'll need about ten more minutes to calibrate everything

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::eyes shift towards Escher::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::gestures "na" at the coffee::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::pivots back forward::

    Mitar Precip -> Spair>Well sir..I was concerned about the Inertial Dampening Field's emitters. We took one heck of a leap to warp 9 in a hurry leaving the battle. I was wondering about their condition. We don't wamt anyone turning into tomato paste..if we go to warp sir.

    MC_Escher -> ::gives the Admiral a look and spins back to monitor his display:: +T'Prise+ Escher here, go ahead

    Keb -> ::glancing around, also::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::nods slowly:: That is what I mean. The pattern of synaptic firing is altered -- subtly...but enough to cause disruption of functions in a way his race is particularly susceptible to.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> I have na seen anything like it before.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Good, Mr. Faldek. Feed the data to Helm and let's get going

    AlexRamirez -> But first, we need to get this power distribution problem fixed. Let's get a grav-sled and get it to storage bay 4. I'll meet you up there, alright Ensign?

    Mitar Precip -> Spair>Yes sir. I assume the ....power cuplings would take precident over the tactical systems...but arent we at war?

    LtCdrFaldek -> Aye. ::transmits coordinates directly to the helm console::

    Keb -> ::sets up the course as the data comes in:: Setting a course to follow the trail, Admiral.

    Eva Jaz -> ::holds finger up :: Need ... More... Coffee :: resists the urge to drink straight from the pot and downs 2 cups in a row ::

    T'Prise -> +Escher+ Commander, our preparations are nearing completion, we should be able to begin test scenarios within the next half hour. As the Manticore has not been retrofitted with increased hull strength to withstand quantum manipulation, I suggest (cont...)

    McFly -> ::wakes up seeing KK next to him:: what time is it?

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Go, Keb, go

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Ian> Mr. Syndrx, engineering teams have finished reinforcing the EPS conduits to the deflector dish. You are cleared to proceed.

    Keb -> ::nods again, moving her fingers over the console:: Accelerating to full impulse.

    Ian_Syndrx -> +Jami+ Acknowledged.

    T'Prise -> evacuation of all non-essential personal to the center areas of the ship. There will be less of a chance of hull stresses and breaches in those areas.

    Sovak -> Decrease speed if the trail fluxuates.

    Kansas Kenickie -> we are still cloaked and repairs are being made, nothing has changed since we left

    McFly -> figures

    Vilanne -> A couple 220's on his ears may cause the same response to a synaptic pattern disruption.

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Notices the change in speed and looks at the storm tracker set up in the lab::

    Vilanne -> But there wasn't a report about a power grid explosion...

    Kansas Kenickie -> I brought you a Muffin

    Cmdr JFarrington -> <mybad, then you would know better than I, Ian>

    MC_Escher -> ::Atragon:: Sir, the slipstream drive will be in place within the half hour. I also recommend moving all non-essential personel to the middle of the ship, as that area is the least at risk to quantum tearing and stresses

    Kansas Kenickie -> and Coffee

    The Manticore has slipped into a parallel universe that is almost identical to our own. Science has verified that this occurred when the ship passed through a dust storm on its way to Maturin Station almost two weeks ago. We are now returning to the last known location of that storm in hopes of finding the way home.

  12. MISSION BRIEFING: The runabout Colorado is returning to Starbase 405 after attending a Science Conference at Sky Harbor Aegis. We are about eight hours into a three-day journey.

    On approach to the Caughees Cluster, a group of life forms were found weaving through the cluster. The runabout has stopped to investigate.

    The Manticore is in Federation space, following the battle at the Arcturan shipyard, but is remaining cloaked and on subspace radio silence. We have verified Manticore ship and crew remains from another battle in enemy territory. It is looking more and more likely that we have slipped into an alternate universe that is almost identical to our own. Science is trying to verify this theory and provide us with the point at which we crossed over.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> <<heh>>

    kyle_mele -> ::nodding:: Bolians are one of a few races the Mele symbiont spent little time with.

    kyle_mele -> Vil, let's start a full scan.

    Hilee -> Jami> Commander...a moment please...

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::nod to Hilee:: If that is all, Admiral?

    kyle_mele -> ::glancing over as the life support takes over and his vital signs level out::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::sighs, nods to Jami and turns to Hillee:: timeline, Mr. Hilee?

    MC_Escher -> ::notices Syndrx and T'Prise beginning to scan the cloud, and decides to take the opportunity to check back on some peculiar bit of data he saw just before Ian made his discovery::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::turning to Hilee as well:::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::slow breath out as she sees life support kick in::

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Glances up at the data Ian just gathered wondering if he'll find anything::

    Hilee -> Jami> Please recheck your main board and settings..please

    Eva Jaz -> Something is causing hypersensitivity of the motor neurons ....

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> What's the state of his neuropeptide levels and other biochemical balance?

    Eva Jaz -> Did we rule out any enviromental causes ?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Of course. ::moves to the OPS console to log in:::

    kyle_mele -> We have ruled out nothing at this point.

    Vilanne -> Ok, ::changes the signal to reach a full neurological scan:: scan is beginning. ::places a live readout overhead, as well as recording the results::

    Hilee -> A-9> sir...I have been expending a substantial amount of engineering resourses to maintain our present state

    Kansas Kenickie -> we need to catch a break

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> You mean the cloak?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Keb:: Receiving control of ship operations. ::taptap:::

    T'Prise -> :: Scrolling through the data with Ian. :: Look at the peaks and troughs in this wavelength. It appears that something now has these quantum particles fluctuating wildly. It would be very dangerous to re-enter the cloud.

    kyle_mele -> ::Jai:: We'll know that shortly. ::nodding to the heads-up display now giving the results of the scan as they become available::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::eyes peruse the board as access comes up:::

    Hilee -> Jami> Please verify our normal settings,and interrupts are up by a qiotent of at least 50% to compensate...system wide

    McFly -> could definately use another shore leave

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Hilee:: To compensate, Mr. Hilee?

    McFly -> so, we know how we got here, i suppose it's up to science to figure out how we get back

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::shifting, checking:::

    Keb -> ::shifts control easily to Jami::

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::Rolls eyes:: squints

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::nods:: I agree, we have no way to predict what would happen.

    Keb -> ::dying to ask about Precip, but staying professional and Not Asking::

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::leans forward:: how are you doing?

    Eva Jaz -> ::shakes her head :: Bolian physiology is close neough on certian aspect that Cmr roget would have been affected if it was enviromental .... so .. back to neurologic ... :: scratches her head ::

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::thinks:: What if we could artificially create the same shield fluctuations?

    McFly -> I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?

    T'Prise -> We will need to establish some other method for returning to our own universe, as our original entry point is unstable and hazardous.

    Vilanne -> What was going on? Do we have more information about the situation he was in when this happened? Do we know what happened?

    Eva Jaz -> Neuromyotomia? ::looks at Jai ::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Hilee:: I am reading a very slight alteration of systems only. We are compensating for what, Mr. Hilee?

    kyle_mele -> I only know that Commander Roget was with him when it occurred, that it was sudden, without warning, and that he collapsed and hit his head.

    Kansas Kenickie -> Well we are in who knows when/where... and you have a new post. I am just checking to see if you have gone crazy yet

    T'Prise -> :: Stares at Ian for a moment. :: Are you suggesting that we build a device to modulate quantum frequencies?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Settings and interrupts are normal.

    Vilanne -> Hmm... so that explains the swelling on his temporal area... but I did not see anything internal going on from that.

    MC_Escher -> ::he looks through the computer-constructed list of beings on board the alternate Manticore and notices what caught his eye the last time: a half-human, half-Vulcan::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::swivels to glance in his direction:::

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::shakes his head:: Yes, what if we found a way to introduce the right pattern in the cloud, we could use that to shift ourselves correctly.

    McFly -> ::smiles:: I went crazy years ago, babe

    Turris Morran -> If we're talking about quantum realities, we're also dealing with quantum states. And we all know that due to the Heisenburg Uncertainty principle it's impossible to determine a quantum state.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Possibly...but it would have to be an extremely exaggerated case, to reach this point. Some kind of motor neuron condition, perhaps, as those can be fatal when it reaches the diaphragm and cessates breathing...

    kyle_mele -> ::shake of his head:: It's unlikely that the blow to his head would cause such misfirings; it's more likely that the misfirings caused the collapse, and he hit his head ont he way down.

    Hilee -> Jami> Well Commander...I have been initiating a systems wide search for anything out of the ordinary....and have come to my conclusions...and they are definitely off from the normal values......sir

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Though the development process is usually much less quick...several years...

    T'Prise -> Essentially allowing us to determine the location and destination we wish to end up after we exit the cloud.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Does the erei'riov have any history of this sort of condition? ::glancing at Mele::

    Eva Jaz -> But would it cause this kind of cerebral abnormal activity ?

    Turris Morran -> How can we possibly recreate a state that we cannot possibly measure?

    kyle_mele -> ::shake of his head::

    Vilanne -> I agree Chief. ::listens to Jaiysa::

    kyle_mele -> His last physical was two months ago, and he passed with flying colors.

    MC_Escher -> ::is pretty sure there isn't a half-Vulcan on board now, so opens the DNA file and tells the computer to run a check on any known matches, then wanders back over to T'Prise and Ian::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Then perhaps there is a discrepancy between your readings and ship operations readings. I am reading a very slight variation from normal - within acceptable parameters.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Eva> It's a degeneration of the neuron tissue itself...a neurological scan would reveal it.

    Kansas Kenickie -> it's part of what I like about you

    Eva Jaz -> ::picks up the chart :: His blood shows normal levels of myophosphorylase and phosphofructokinase.. so we can rule that out

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::His peripheral vision nagging at him again, he turns toward Roget:: Commander Roget?

    LtCmdr Roget -> ::looks up slowly:: Admiral?

    Kansas Kenickie -> nothing like hiding while hiding huh

    Hilee -> Jami> Acknowledged Commander....the order was to look for any discrepencies....was it not??

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::Turris:: We aren't trying to recreate a state, we're trying to recreate the fluctuations, we can measure those without knowing the positions of each particle.

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Mr. Hilee, I was not here to hear that order. You will have to verify that with the Admiral.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::eyebrow quirks up at Cajun twang:: Are you... Is everything.. Margaux, could you join me in my Ready Room?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::swivels back to her console:::

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Have you done a neurological workup yet? If not, we should begin one at once...it would reveal if there has been degradation to those tissues.

    Turris Morran -> I see

    kyle_mele -> ::nodding:: Make it so.

    Eva Jaz -> ::looks at Mele:: I agree with Dr t'Tamarak .. it's our best bet right now

    LtCmdr Roget -> ::stands and proceeds to the Ready Room::

    Vilanne -> If it's degeration, wouldn't we see a lessoning of the synaptic activity?

    T'Prise -> :: Morran :: You are also referring to centuries old quantum mechanics. There are ways to to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of any other particle with any great degree of accuracy or certainty.

    Ian_Syndrx -> The problem is, I don't know of a way to manipulate that much matter on a quantum level...

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Captain, you have the Bridge

    Sovak -> Aye Admiral

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::notes the change of command:::

    Sovak -> ::moves to the CC::

    Hilee -> Jami> Aye sir...lets say then I have taken it on my own initiave then...::watching as the Admiral moves:: ..Sir

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::he walks to the RR with Margaux::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::catches a glimpse of the tight uniform Roget is wearing, and holds back a smile, he's married, not dead::

    McFly -> yeah I never thought this situation to be permanent but I'm not so sure now

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> Vil> Not necessarily...picture a damaged console sparking disorganizedly.

    MC_Escher -> ::looks at Ian:: What about...a quantum slipstream drive?

    LtCmdr Roget -> ::remains standing as the doors swish closed::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Very well, Mr. Hilee.

    Keb -> ::silently wonders if Sovak would like to do some loop-de-loops instead of the standard path for once::

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Is listening to intently she almost spills her coffee on herself as she sets the cup down::

    Keb -> ::figures the answer would be nope::

    T'Prise -> :: Begins retrieving equations from a file on Ian's console. Head snaps up when Escher mentions the slipstream drive. ::

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::looks at Escher:: Are you crazy? Last I knew Quantum Slipstrem was barely experimental.

    Kansas Kenickie -> what did you do before Jumping onto this ship?

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Margaux, please have a seat

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::motions to the couch::

    Vilanne -> ::continuing the neural scan, watching results, thinking through all the suggestions so far::

    MC_Escher -> ::small smile:: Yet the premier expert on the galaxy is standing next to you and we have a miniaturixed one sitting on top of this ship.

    MC_Escher -> *in the galaxy

    Hilee -> Jami> Sir..I have been correcting and noticing a distinct differerce...and it is a very small difference...almost indectable....unless you are looking for it ...change ...sir

    LtCmdr Roget -> ::perches on the edge of the cushion::

    MC_Escher -> **miniaturized

    McFly -> i was... on another ship

    Kansas Kenickie -> standard ship

    Kansas Kenickie -> ?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::Hilee:: Would you forward the specific data to the OPS console, please. I'll take another look.

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Thinks about protesting but decided she better stay quiet if she doesn't want to be kicked out of the lab::

    McFly -> yeah it definately wasn't black ops

    Ian_Syndrx -> Well then... hmm ::starts furiously typing on his console, reading through the specs on the slipstream data and running a quick simulation::

    T'Prise -> Commander, what you are suggesting is nearly as dangerous as us re-entering that cloud. While the version we created for the quantum cannons is stable, you are suggesting we create a quantum field to encompass the entire ship.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::sits down next to her and looks concerned:: How is Mitar?

    Keb -> ::decides she's going to need some holosuite time...maybe with Beran...to burn off some frustration with all the weirdness::

    LtCdrFaldek -> ::looks back at Hilee, then back to his tactical console::

    Keb -> ::checks the holodeck schedule::

    LtCmdr Roget -> ::starts to answer, then stops, then starts, then stops::

    LtCmdr Roget -> I don't know

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::Smiles::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ::looks down at the floor, not wanting to stare::

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::awaiting the pinpoint to check:::

    T'Prise -> We would have the same problems with projecting a stable field from a moving object that were found aboard the Wanderlust.

    Eva Jaz -> It's reminiscent of a very quickly degenerative form of pseudobulbar palsy .... bolian anatomy might be more susecoptible..

    McFly -> so what were you doing?

    MC_Escher -> ::hand rests on T'Prise's shoulder:: It's the only way, TP. You can do this. The Wanderlust was technically sound - it was sabotaged, remember? We can canablize the quantum cannon for parts. It's feasible and you know it

    LtCmdr Roget -> What happened between y'all? He asked me about leaving. About getting out.

    Eva Jaz -> << we're tying to prove here that Science don't have the monopoly on scientifc babble here :P >>

    Eva Jaz -> ::looks at Jai ::

    Keb -> ::finds a spare couple of hours after her shift and sends Beran a little note: "Holodeck tonight?"::

    Hilee -> Jami> Aye sir...and transfers the engineering consoles data from time stamp ...2 hrs. proceeding::

    Vilanne -> <<LOL Eva... go girl!>>

    MC_Escher -> <<Don't try to fight the masters, Eva. It's a losing battle>>

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::Sits on the edge of the desk:: I always had a good eye.... even before I had the good one in place...

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ACTION: SICKBAY RECEIVES THREE CALLS ABOUT FAINTING SPELLS AND HEADACHES FROM ENSIGN RIXX, LT. PARRIN AND LT.COMMANDER TUK

    Cmdr JFarrington -> Receiving data.... ::begins a thorough examination:::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> ACTION: ALL OF THEM ARE BOLIAN

    T'Prise -> :: Hesitates for a moment, then steps away from Escher so he is no longer touching her. :: I would require the assistance of Commander Syndrx with his technological expertise.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::looks at Eva thouhtfully:: What with the differences in their neural structure its entirely possible that such a condition would have farther-reaching effects on the musculature and autonomic nervous system.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ((::doing her part::P)

    Eva Jaz -> Josh> :: recieving such calls ::

    T'Prise -> As well as Ensign Jaxa, who aided in constructing the quantum cannons.

    Kansas Kenickie -> most people wouldn't call it a talent... or skill. who puts good shot as a special skill?

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::scanning through:::

    MC_Escher -> ::nods:: Absolutely. ::the computer chimes with his results:: I'll be right back.

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::looks up from his work:: I think I can reconfigure the quantum cannons to create a field around the ship.

    Eva Jaz -> Josh> Nurse B> Prepare for incoming paitents

    MC_Escher -> ::heads over to his console and casually takes a look at the computer readout, at which point his eyes bug out and he freezes::

    Hilee -> Jami> Commander as you can see...any and all inputs for correction to the systems wide have been constant...though almost imperceptable....the only reason I did notice....I have been manninbg the console

    LtCmdr Roget -> Didja tell him that he could really leave Manticore?

    Hilee -> *manning

    MC_Escher -> Wha...wha...whaa.....

    McFly -> someone looking to be in the securital arts?

    Eva Jaz -> Josh> +Mele+ we just recieved notifications that 3 other bolian crew members seem to be presenting with similar symptoms as cmdr Precip chief

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::head swivel:: More?

    kyle_mele -> ::headtilt::

    Vilanne -> ::looks up in the air after hearing Josh's com::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> I told him that I would help him go wherever he wanted - but that I didn't see a way for him to come back to Security Chief

    Cmdr JFarrington -> I see your point, Mr. Hilee. Duly noted. I do not, however, see the need to alter normal settings to compensate - unless I misunderstood your request?

    kyle_mele -> +Josh+ Acknowledged. Prepare three more life support units.

    T'Prise -> :: Sits back down next to Syndrx. :: We would require a larger deflector dish.

    Kansas Kenickie -> ::lifts brow:: that and some brass bars sometimes look for people with them..

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Is still wondering is Escher is crazy when he speaks and brings her back to reality::

    Eva Jaz -> :: raises eyebrow:: It's definitely something that affects either only bolians ..or worst case scenario.. Bolian quicker

    kyle_mele -> ::glancing around at the other three doctors:: It seems we've a Bolian epidemic.

    Eva Jaz -> Josh+Mele+ Acknowledged sir

    LtCmdr Roget -> You know he can't leave, he can't just walk away. Why would you give him false hope? If anyone knows the rules it's us.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::sighs:: Well, that adds a new wrinkle, does it na?

    T'Prise -> From which to emit a quantum field.

    MC_Escher -> ::according to the computer, the human-Vulcan hybrid in the wreckage of the alternate Manticore was the son of none other than T'Prise and Malcolm Escher::

    Eva Jaz -> :: grabs 3 medtechs and prepares the life support units quickly ::

    Hilee -> Jami> Negative sir....for now,however ...be advised should this continue to expand...well we may have a problem...sir.

    Vilanne -> ::eyes open wider at Eva's comment:: Computer - list neuralogical bolian epidemics on file.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> I have a Black Ops wing now. He can transfer to another of our own ships

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> he can have a fresh start

    Cmdr JFarrington -> ::nodding as she works:: Understood, Mr. Hilee.

    Kansas Kenickie -> people tend to over look a pretty girl, it's an advantage

    Vilanne -> Computer: No matches.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> We've all had fresh starts, haven't we, Margaux... Megan

    Eva Jaz -> ::shakes her head :: It's not an epidemic Vil ... it's seems to be something affecting them specifically because of their neurological patterns ..

    LtCmdr Roget -> ::makes a disgusted french noise in the back of her throat::

    Ian_Syndrx -> ::Thinks about this:: What if we tied the secondary deflector on the saucer into the main deflector, would that be enough?

    Asteria Jaxa -> ::Really does spill her coffee on herself this time:: What did you say Sir?

    Vilanne -> ::smirks:: hmm.. would it be a component of their blood? of their tissues? something... maybe this atmosphere?

    LtCmdr Roget -> Not him, cher ... he's not like us.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> So, is that what you think of your former life?

    Eva Jaz -> << Ok you'll have to explain me what that is Roget .. >>

    Sovak -> Commandr Mizu. Set a course for the last known position of the storm we came through befor Maturin Station.

    Eva Jaz -> ::shakes her head :: Impossible

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> We'll need to get full scans on all of them before we can make a final determination.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> <<LOL Eva>>

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> However, a neurological reaction or condition seems the most likely to me at the moment.

    LtCmdr Roget -> That's what I think of your reasoning.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> and...

    Keb -> ::glances back at the Captain:: Yessir, CAptain.

    Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ((and not just because it's my area of expertise, hann'yyo :P ))

    Eva Jaz -> Josh> :: with the help of med techs places the 3 officers in life support ::

    Keb -> ::lays in the course::

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> =/\======= PAUSE SIM =======/\=

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> Okay folks, it will be another 3 hours between sims.

    Ian_Syndrx -> I tried running a scan on the storm, did I not get any data, or did I find the storm?

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> We didn't find it yet. We are headed to it's last known location and will get there at next sim's start, and then you can probably find some trace of it, so we can follow.

    Admiral Atragon-9 -> (if I'm feeling generous)
