With a shimmer, the boarding party materialized in the Firebrand's transporter room. Almost immediately, Audraya was assaulted by the smells of the slaver's atmosphere. Exotic spices and perfumes, leather and silk, even the subdued lighting pulled her back into her subconscious...and her past. -=-=-=-=-=- 20 years ago MS Audacious Out on the Rim A 16 year old Audraya was lying prone on her cot, her sister placing medicated dressings on her latest wounds. "Audraya, why do you resist? It's not our way, sister." "I know Bran, but I don't want to be used that way...I don't want to be passed around from male to male like a bottle of bloodwine or Rihan ale." She flinched as a cold compress was placed against a particularly nasty welt. "And they'll continue to whip you, Audraya, Morohtar especially. Please, for my piece of mind sister, do not res..." Branwen paused, as their brother walked past what was their quarters. Morohtar and several Fleet officers walked past. One, wearing lieutenant commander stripes gold command shirt paused and looked in, before hurrying along. "I think he liked you, Raya." "Not bloody likely," Audraya replied. "But they've got a great career, lots of available money, and not always married." As Audraya turned around and gave her sister the evil eye, Morohtar and the lieutenant commander walked back into the slave quarters. "Audraya," her brother called, "you're out of my hair. Commander Wesley here just signed your papers. Pack up and get off my ship." -=-=-=-=-=- Squaring her shoulders, Audraya looked at the boarding party. "Phasers on stun. If they surrender, give them quarter. If they resist, you may subdue. I want prisoners."

Happy Birthday T'lak!

...who, when she seemed about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon her,...

Andorians where first shown in the TOS Episode Journey to Babel; granted the one shown was an Orion assassin altered to appear as an Andorian.

Non-Viking Europeans who came over from the Old World, starting with Columbus, and brought their national rivalries with them. And yes, both Will and I can claim direct lineage to the Mayflower

No way are pirates cooler than Vikings. Who terrorized most of coastal Europe, and then settled Iceland, Greenland and Vinland? Sure weren't Pirates that's for sure.

John, no direct links to media. Memory Alpha, or other resources of that type are fine. Give us the title, and the bright kids here can find it.

Comanche Creek will not sim on Friday either. Enjoy the holiday.

So, does this mean that phasers and protoplasers are coming?

Cats do not swim

Kansas wins this round. As for what the Kitteh's attacking, cat's got E. Coli, stuffed and magnified 1 million times. Available at Thinkgeek.

::haz already geek'd out and has spent the last month and a half waiting for the 2 disk edition::

Thank you T'aral, makes me feel better. :P And thanks A9... :P

Ditto with what Kansas said about Jim being Jim and Sam being Sam. However...there is the possibility that Winona went into labor early, due to the attack by Nero. If it were a "normal" delivery, the medical staff, Winona and George wouldn't have been as shocked as they were.

Geez. Make me feel like chopped liver why don't you.

Honestly, you'd think they would have used the classic "Time Warp around the Sun" to jump back to the future. Of course, knowing their luck, Enterprise-E probably would have miscalculated and wound up in some alternate reality... STXI anyone?

CDR Wesley returned to her quarters after being relieved by Chief Tar'ghet, a chicken salad sandwich and cup of coffee from the mess in her hand. "Computer, open new log file and being recording," she said as she sat at her desk. "Personal log, Stardate 0911.01. Pirates and slavers...two of the more despicable subspecies that prey on the weaker. Smugglers are...tolerable. Granted, they charge exorbitant prices for what they bring in, but it's accepted on the Rim. Piracy, though, I've never accepted it. And slavers deserve what pirates should be getting--a short drop and a sudden stop. "Dad, the student of Earth history he was, once told me that piracy on Earth's oceans declined only during what was termed as "the Cold War", that period of heightened tensions between the American and Russian superpowers, and their allies; when the navies of Earth constantly prowled the seven seas. Is that what's going to be needed today? A permanent Starfleet presence prowling the spacelanes, with Klingon, Romulan, Kzinthi fleets doing the same? "And its worse because of my heritage... I've had some of the crew glance at me today, wondering if I'm going to be faithful to my Starfleet Oath or will I serve the crew up as fitting my Orion blood. So what if I was born a pleasure slave, trained from an early age to perform for my owner? Dad showed me that there's life outside of being passed around like a jug of white lightning at a NASCAR race. For that, I thank him every day I can draw a breath. Even if it means turning my back on my heritage, I gladly do so every chance I can get. "And God only knows how many ships I intercepted when I was with the Marines. If it wasn't in a Goshawk, it was in an assault shuttle, kitted up in body armor and assault phaser. The Jyrenes found it funny that a Fleeter was willing to get down and dirty with them. Sure, a couple of 'em thought I was 'loose', but a couple of swift kidney punches following a knee to their 'masculinity' taught them really quickly that I'm not like my sisters. "If it's my brother that's doing this, so help me, I *will* shove a photon grenade so far up his (insert expletive here) that when it goes off, he'll think its heartburn first. "End log"

Which got a nod in the TOS book, Doctor's Orders. So Leila, had Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane yet?

Duct tape works much better. Especially if it's of the 100mph milspec kind. Although the 600mph aerospace grade is even better, but harder to come by

Ok, it's been 2 weeks...time for a new entry

Call'em if they don't.

10.16.09 Mission Update: the Comanche Creek is two hours out from making orbit at New Vulcan. A informal briefing was held in the main hanger deck, with the Captain outlining various assignment responsibilities for the respective departments once we all head planet side. ComCreekChat09_10_16.txt
