  1. RES Talon Mission Briefing 51805.03 - Season 23 The Talon, after spending a few weeks chasing down the fleeing Othan fleet, was forced to delay their pursuit, in order to make sure several key worlds, colonies or shipyard bases had been freed of Othan influence. Unfortunately, the Othan left a grim trail of bodies in their wake, that the Talon had been attempting to rectify and assist those in need. Having not had the chance to attend to even their own families and personal needs before they began their pursuit, the Talon is now approaching ch'Rihan, to allow the crew what personal time they needed, as well as to restock and supply, repair the ship and file reports with Galae. BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM ACTION:: As the Talon approaches chRihan, several ships turn their focus towards it, wanting to ensure this was na an Othan attack STSF Seiben: ::in the oira, piloting the ship towards it course back home:: Lerak trPexil: :: Sitting down in main engineering :: Laehval tTemarr: ::In her seat on the bridge, she raised a brow at the sensor readings:: A bit too late for that, I think.

Please coordinate with our chief engineering officer for repairs, thanks.

STSF Seiben: ::hope he can get some good rest as well:: Lerak trPexil: :: Gets messages regarding further repairs :: KhreRiovtRex: @ Firehawk> Talon, we will relay au message to the repair frame station, however au will have to coordinate with them for au repair, we are out here on guard duty. Contact Galae Facilities and they will put you in touch with the Quartermaster there. Best of luck STSF Seiben: +Firehawk+ Will do, thank you. Lerak trPexil: :: Looking over the repairs to get a better idea how long it will take :: m_k_tksa: S'har> I'm worried. What we saw the last time.... Laehval tTemarr: Take us in to the shipyards, S'Bien, and inform department heads that we have arrived at the homeworld. Lerak trPexil: :: Had composed a message for his family before arrival :: KhreRiovtRex: t'Vatrix> :: starts to pile several ISD's and map overlays, as well as a few incident reports from various department heads to file with Galae STSF Seiben: ::Continuing on course for ch'Rihan:: Taking us in now. +Dept Heads+.

Laehval tTemarr: They are cautious. It seems much of the fleet is here being repaired. KhreRiovtRex: And rightfully so........ it's just mice to come home, without shots being fired AT us KhreRiovtRex: (nice, not mice) STSF Seiben: ::safely docks into their assigned berth:: m_k_tksa: ::takes a deep breath:: Right then.

Better hop to it, right? ::grimacing smile before she heads back to her office:: Lerak trPexil: :: Repairs, repairs... after a while even he started to hate it :: KhreRiovtRex: Once I debrief at Galae, I'll update au as to how long we have had, but ie, go relax Laehval tTemarr: ::She turned to t'Rexan.:: Rekkhai, I can remain here and oversee repairs if au wish to visit the homeworld. ::She paused, frowning as she looked at the planet.:: I have na reason to return just now. m_k_tksa: ::settles back down at her desk and starts reviewing the necessary paperwork:: KhreRiovtRex: :: looks back at tTemarr:: I will be spending most of my time with Galae. However, we may need au opions as well. KhreRiovtRex: However, if au wish to oversee the initial plan, I know that will make au more comfortable with the repairs KhreRiovtRex: Au care more for this ship, than most do of their families. Au diligence has kept us alive often. ACTION::: The Talon has docked at the repair facility STSF Seiben: There we are.. Lerak trPexil: :: Tossing back and forth wondering if he should stay. Mother would na be pleased :: KhreRiovtRex: Make sure that if au spend most of au time here, that au do at least get some well needed rest Laehval. Laehval tTemarr: If au need me to debrief at Galae, I will be more than happy to oblige. tr'Pexil will be overseeing repairs and doubt he will need me looking over his shoulder. KhreRiovtRex: There is na need to push yourself while we're here. Later au will be wishing for rest and quiet time m_k_tksa: ::looking over the plans that she and the Kheinsa made for their time on ch'Rihan:: Lerak trPexil: +Message to t'Temarr+ Dinner in mess to discuss repair itinerary. KhreRiovtRex: I will contact au if they need additional information. Oh, and see that the Daise Maenak also takes a break. I do na beieve she had the opportunity to follow up on her family before we left KhreRiovtRex: I will take my leave of au, contact me if au need anything. Hannyyo KhreRiovtRex: :: t'Vatrix takes the lift down to the RAC bay, so that she may take her small ship down herself KhreRiovtRex: TWO MINUTE WARNING Laehval tTemarr: Ie, Rekkhai. ::She watched the lift door close and then glanced at her screen, seeing the message from Pexil.

KhreRiovtRex: Leah, do au have anything for the crew? Lerak trPexil: Nalia au say? Laehval tTemarr: Nope. Laehval tTemarr: Everyone have a good weekend. KhreRiovtRex: Thank au all for coming tonight, and I hope au all have a great weekend. With that.... Crew Dismissed.
  2. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51804.26 - Season 23 Many of the crew were finishing up a well deserved respite while the ship was being repaired and restocked while at the Justarus Shipyards. However, leave time had come to an end, and all crew are expected back on board so that the ship may take it's leave of the station. BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM KhreRiovtRex: :: studying maps hrrau her chambers STSF Seiben: ::returning back to the ship, feeling much better than he did before having just come back from a nice meal and drink:: Lerak trPexil: :: Just crossing over from the station to Talon :: STSF Seiben: ::Taking the lift up to the oira:: KhreRiovtRex: :: expands the map upon the walls once again, and starts to mark their current location, of the planet they were last, of where the ambush had been set:: m_k_tksa: ::knew that the refugee was just trying to make some money for her family, so she couldn't resist buying a length of woven cloth before heading back to the ship:: Laehval tTemarr: ::Back on board the Talon, Laehval paused at t'Rexan's chambers and rang the chimes.:: KhreRiovtRex: :: starts setting markers, and turns to the door:: Enter Lerak trPexil: :: Enters a lift :: Engineering. STSF Seiben: ::gets out of the lift and heads to his console on the lira:: STSF Seiben: okra* STSF Seiben: oira( STSF Seiben: (stupid auto correct) KhreRiovtRex: :: turns to see Leah:: m_k_tksa: ::lays the bolt of fabric in the corner of her office and then gets settled at her desk:: Laehval tTemarr: ::Nods as she steps in and the doors close behind her.:: Rekkhai. The crew is boarding and we should be ready to leave shortly. I'd wondered if au'd given any thought to our next destination. Are we returning to ch'Rihan? Lerak trPexil: :: Enters engineering where people were busy working and paid him no mind :: KhreRiovtRex: That is a menkha question. That had been our focus....until that ambush... STSF Seiben: ::logs onto his console:: Laehval tTemarr: (( ::Koga's replicator starts spitting out mounds of some odd crispy fried green vegetable:: )) STSF Seiben: ((:and old obsolete Terran currency)) KhreRiovtRex: I wish to hear au thoughts? And what of the crew? Lerak trPexil: :: Sits at the main console :: Laehval tTemarr: Many of the crew are eager to return to ch'Rihan to check on and visit their families. Laehval tTemarr: But none would balk at orders to return to Othan space to continue to weed them out. We have all seen the devastation they have caused through this sector. KhreRiovtRex: ::turns and points at the wall::: Lerak trPexil: :: Checking each system himself :: STSF Seiben: ::preparing for their eventual departure, doing pre-flight checks and the like:: KhreRiovtRex: I've been mapping out where we've been, what we've come across.... KhreRiovtRex: Needless to say, the main force seems to have left, and only left small damage or retention forces....but the ambush, it worries me more. It was as if a trap, to assess our capabilities. The lead ship, obviously sacrificed the others willingly, for the attempt to take us out...or perhaps, test to see if we really can track them. ..... Laehval tTemarr: ::She turns to study the map and steps forward for a better look.:: KhreRiovtRex: Or perhaps to see if we had other ships with us....... Luckily Stinger was not in the area, or at least stayed hidden to stalk our attacker. KhreRiovtRex: Regardless we need to let the home world know about our status out here. We can send a message from the station, or we can take a quick.....and from what I saw of the station supply list...a needed trip back to chHavran. m_k_tksa: Maec>::pokes his head into tKsa's office:: Jolan tru. KhreRiovtRex: So let me ask au. What would au have us do? Laehval tTemarr: Ie, the reserves here are painfully low. They have repaired the ship as best they could, but there are parts that we cannot get until we return to the home world. Laehval tTemarr: I would take us back for a brief trip to resupply and finish repairs, na to mention reconnect with the rest of the fleet to take stock of what survived. m_k_tksa: ::raises her head:: Did au here from the official? ::putting her ISD down:: Lerak trPexil: +Koga+ Check the navigation links please. STSF Seiben: +Pexil+ Sure, no problem,. ::checks:: Having issues with it, or just checking? KhreRiovtRex: A solid plan. I do na wish to tip our foes of Stingers location. We will leave him orders here, in case he checks in. He should remain in the area and look for signs of that Othan ship, and trail it if possible. When au are ready to take the oira, au may direct the crew to head us back to chRihan. m_k_tksa: Maec> Ie, and all thi children are settling in and adjusting. I was told that au should expect a few messages from Dava. STSF Seiben: ::going over the nav links:: +Pex+ Yeah, they look good mate. Laehval tTemarr: Ie, Rekkhai. I will have S'Bien leave word for the Stinger and set course for home. Lerak trPexil: +Koga+ I have to make sure my readings match yours. KhreRiovtRex: Menkha. I hope au and the crew were able to get some relaxation while rhea the station? STSF Seiben: +Pexil+ Ah, gotcha. Laehval tTemarr: Ie. ::She smiled.:: A bit too much, thanks to your offer of free drinks. Hann'yyo for that. They desperately needed it. KhreRiovtRex: ::nods:: It was menkha to see au all being able to sit , talk and relax together for a change, without the worry of being attacked. Lerak trPexil: :: Motions people to had him the reports :: KhreRiovtRex: Were all matters attended to that we needed? Major repairs? The medical patients dropped off to the facility medics? STSF Seiben: ::checks his link and engineering's:: Lerak trPexil: :: Five engineers had him reports on the state of Talon :: STSF Seiben: +Paxil+ Looks to be good sync. Laehval tTemarr: Would that we had more of those times. Perhaps when this war is over and the Othans are gone. ::She sighed.:: Ie, all of our major repairs were attended to and the patients cared for. We only need restocking when we return home. KhreRiovtRex: Au protege'... He did a menkha job of keeping the ship together through these last few months. Au should be proud of au teaching, and of his capabilities. I will say I had my doubts at times, but he's shown an aptitude for keeping the air on the inside of the ship. Laehval tTemarr: He is a good Daise'Engineer. ::She agreed.:: I would na have turned the department over to him had it been otherwise. Laehval tTemarr: And he cares for this ship as I do. It is important in a Daise'Engineer. KhreRiovtRex: The ship is lucky to have au Leahval... turns for a siuren... I am lucky to have au fahd as well. m_k_tksa: ::deep breath:: That's a blessing. I was worried there for a bit. Laehval tTemarr: ::She quirked a brow at the moment of sincerity.:: For what it is worth, Rekkhai, I am glad to have au back in command. Lerak trPexil: :: to an engineer :: Have a team test this bulkhead assembly enroute. If the repair is off by a few microns we will get a resonance at certain warp factors. I don't want to explain to everyone why their drinks vibrated off their tables. m_k_tksa: Maec> Well, we were lucky there was a good local worker who could help with the transition. Lerak trPexil: :: Pexil rubs his eyes, he knew he would feel any variance more so than others. Others thought he was too picky. He just wanted to sleep at night. KhreRiovtRex: :: a bit surprised:, quietly replies: Hann'yyo. Au may be the only io though. I know the Daise Meanak despises me now. She most likely regrets ever resurrecting me with those veruul-ish nanogenes. I'm sure she's na the only io. I'm sure there are others from earlier. m_k_tksa: And a good Kheinsa onboard. KhreRiovtRex: But...na sense dwelling on it or wishing for any semblance of a normal life or anyone to talk to..... I have work to do, and I'd best get back to marking these maps for when we return to High Command. KhreRiovtRex: Hann'yyo for the update, au have the Oira at au command. Lerak trPexil: +t'Ksa+ Pexil here. Are there any engineering issues you have found in your department? Laehval tTemarr: ::She wasn't sure what she could say to convince t'Rexan otherwise, though she didn't think half of what she said was true, so she simply nodded.:: Au should remember that au have me to lean up, should au need. That is what I am here for, Rekkhai. I will see au on the Oira. ::Turning, she headed out and stepped foot on the bridge.:: Laehval tTemarr: S'Bien, it is time to take us home. Plot a course and engage. ::Taking her usual spot, she sat down with a sigh.:: Laehval tTemarr: ::Typing up a message for the Stinger, she sent it over to Koga's station.:: Send that message to station keeping before we go. m_k_tksa: +Pexil+ Unless au broke something that I do na know about, then na. Lerak trPexil: +Pexil+ I'd never break something that could save my life. Very well, Pexil out. KhreRiovtRex: :: she heard the door shut behind Leahval, and turned back to the map, trying to divine what she was missing, what that ship was doing this close, and where had it gone:: KhreRiovtRex: TWO MINUTE WARNING KhreRiovtRex: TWO MINUTE WARNING KhreRiovtRex: :: pulling up the last information files they had on the Othan Shipyards, she decided to start working on calculations on how many new ships they would be able to put out to replace those lost in the battle at chRihan.:: STSF Seiben: ::relays message to station keeping as per proper procedures:: Message sent. ::engages:: We've broken lose and are departing.

  3. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 5180419 The Talon is currently at the Justarus Shipyards doing resupply, dropping off some patients and giving the crew a short break before heading back to chRihan. BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM Lerak trPexil: :: Reading from his ISD and drinking a little something :: STSF Seiben: ::walking along the station, eating some kind of a snack he bought from a food vendor:: KhreRiovtRex: @ in station Ops reporting on the ambush we'd run into on the way here, and that there are still Othan lurking in the area. Station patrols will need to be alert, as we know at least one ship had escaped m_k_tksa: ::having been given a half dozen small sweet filled biscuits for being a menkha patient, stands to one side and watches the foot traffic:: Au know, these are na as good as the ones from home. ::munch, munch,, munch:: m_k_tksa: Maec> Do au have to be so critical of another locations baked goods? ::risking life and limb by stealing io of the biscuits from her box:: Laehval tTemarr: ::Laehval paused, glancing about the deck at the few scattered shops that had managed to reopen. Supplies were running low and it showed in the small variety of goods for sale. At least there was food available, but for how long? Spotting Pexil, she started over.:: m_k_tksa: I am when I think my regional specialties are better. ::smirks, motions with a half-eaten biscuit:: What do you suppose they're trying to do over there? Is that an art installation or an engineering project? STSF Seiben: ::there wasn't much to choose from in the food courts, noticing quite a few closed stalls still, buy a juice as well go with his food:: KhreRiovtRex: :: finishes up with station command and heads back down to see if there is anything that piqued her appetite, and if na she'd just eat on the ship:: Lerak trPexil: :: He watched the progress of the repair teams as they applied fixes to the hull...he wished for a proper drydock :: KhreRiovtRex: (Pexil...this IS the shipyards.... ) Lerak trPexil: (oh, sorry) m_k_tksa: Maec> ::wipes his chin with a napkin:: Engineering project. Heard they had a collapse of one of the promenade walkways. Laehval tTemarr: ::Eases down in a seat across from him and turned to peer through the window at the ship:: I do na get to see her from this point of view very often. I forget how majestic she is. ::She took a sip of her drink.:: STSF Seiben: ::Sits at a table by a window, watching them repair a ship:: Lerak trPexil: :: smiles :: We are always on the inside looking out. She is also not the newest class of vessel. Perhaps I need to quit reading journals. m_k_tksa: Hmm...that reminds me. I reviewed that supply list you gave me and then scaled it back. There's not much here available for restocking, but if we get some replicator credit on Talon, I think we can make due with just a few pharmaceutical ingredients. Lerak trPexil: Au wish to evaluate the repairs? They are coming along as expected. KhreRiovtRex: :: concerned where N'Dak and the Stinger may be, as they'd not been heard from for some time, but wanted to trust he was still following their plans:: Laehval tTemarr: Na, she is na. But still elegant. ::She waved a hand and leaned back in her chair a bit.:: I'd rather na worry about that for a short while. m_k_tksa: Maec> One of these days au are going to have to teach me au's trick of multiplying supplies with na resources. ::grins at her:: Lerak trPexil: Heading back to ch'Rihan are we na? I was na expecting this so soon. Laehval tTemarr: Who said we were returning to ch'Rihan? STSF Seiben: ::sitting near Leah and Pexil, but doesn't want to be a third wheel:: KhreRiovtRex: :: sees several of the crew, but decides na to disturb them as they are off duty, and evidently having a conversation, takes her purchase and food and moves to an empty seat where she can also watch the ship being repaired:: Lerak trPexil: Koga...we can see au. STSF Seiben: Jolan truuu... STSF Seiben: ::orders some food and drinks:: Lerak trPexil: I have heard things. Laehval tTemarr: I don't think we can plan much these days. ::Snorting.:: With so many Othans in hiding, au never know where we might end up chasing io. Lerak trPexil: Just do na have me snipe them.. Lerak trPexil: :: Drinks :: KhreRiovtRex: :: sits watching the ship, her food untouched, thinking back to better times when they had been here:: Laehval tTemarr: S'Bien, get me io of those. ::Points to what he'd just ordered.:: STSF Seiben: Sure. ::Orders another one for Laeh:: Lerak trPexil: :: In the back of his mind he kept on thinking of those letter from Nalia. Perhaps she's just bored...or tasking him :: m_k_tksa: It's na a trick I wish I had to teach anyone ::shrugs, glancing at him, then back to the foot traffic:: Lerak trPexil: :: Takes a bite of his meal :: KhreRiovtRex: :: she hated to see the ship damaged, but thanked the elements that the Daise KhreRiov had seen that they had gotten those upgrades, or they may not have been here still:: STSF Seiben: ::The waiter delivers what Laeh orders that Koga did:: Koga>. Its quite nice. Lerak trPexil: I don't know about any of au, but a restful sleep is what I will need after these repairs. STSF Seiben: ::watches the repair work from the window:: Laehval tTemarr: Are au na eager to return to ch'Rihan? ::Posing the question to both Koga and Lerak.:: Laehval tTemarr: Or would au rather us continue to hunt Othan?

STSF Seiben: I'm quite eager to return to ch'Rihan. Hopefully, I could meet up with some friends and family. Lerak trPexil: Question is, where do the Othan end? m_k_tksa: Maec> What do au think of those re of there? ::jerks his in the direction of the Rihans he's talking about:: m_k_tksa: Are au wanting to play that story game........again? ::raises a brow:: Laehval tTemarr: Ie, where indeed. ::Slight shake of her head.:: Laehval tTemarr: Io hopes we can find where they scurried to hide. STSF Seiben: ::Eating his meal:: m_k_tksa: Maec> It will pass the time until the Station's Daise'Maenak can meet with us.

She'd just check the crew logs later:: Laehval tTemarr: ::Her lips thinned at the mention of Lerak's houseguest and she looked down at her plate, spearing a bit of food.:: And how has she recovered from her ordeal? KhreRiovtRex: She was concerned about that io ship that got away in their recent battle, and wondered how they could ever be sure that it was just one single ship remaining, or if it was a scout for a larger fleet:: Lerak trPexil: Getting stronger...albeit slowly. She was lucky. Finding her family has taken longer than they thought. KhreRiovtRex: :: decided she had planning to do and needed to go look at her maps again, and see where the fleet was weak and needed shoring up:: Lerak trPexil: :: shivers thinking what Nalia looked like when they found her :: Lerak trPexil: Anything from home for either of au? :: drinks :: KhreRiovtRex: :: pushes the food aside, as her appetite had waned and the thought of food made her want it even less. motions to one of the workers and points across the room:: Laehval tTemarr: ::She shook her head and glanced back out the window.:: Na likely.

[11:14 pm] m_k_tksa: ::taking a deep breath, straightens her uniform tunic before ringing the chime:: [11:14 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: to Koga :: Did au ever meet Nalia? Wait, au must have. [11:15 pm] STSF Seiben: I believe I did, when we were in ch'Rihan yes. She seemed nice, but I didn't talk to much if at all. [11:16 pm] KhreRiovtRex: I am deeply worried about our current troop locations [11:16 pm] Lerak trPexil: Au stay away from her :: laughing :: [11:17 pm] Lerak trPexil: So, what of our next adventure? [11:17 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ::Laehval waved the door open to admit t'Ksa and then took a seat.:: Ie, I had a shower and a brief bite. ::She glanced at the map.:: What of the troops? [11:17 pm] STSF Seiben: ::chuckles:: All right, I doubt she'd want to be with some retired keve'shrek fighter anyway. She's probably not the type to be into it much. [11:17 pm] STSF Seiben: ::shrugs:: I don't know yet. Haven't heard anything regarding that. Hopefully, we can be able hunt down these Othan scum [11:17 pm] m_k_tksa: ::following t'Temarr and taking a seat as well:: [11:20 pm] KhreRiovtRex: As you know, we were losing ground back home, it wasn't until that extra wave of ships that turned up that we were able to turn the battle to our cause. However, many of those ships, were from this sector and protecting Justarus. They lost many here in the first attack that was made here but held. it's a good force. However.......many are still at the home world, reinforcing and checking small outposts for Othan traitors. [11:20 pm] KhreRiovtRex: If we were to continue our mission, to follow the Othan and try to cut them off...I foresee two critical issues at he moment: [11:22 pm] KhreRiovtRex: 1) In our efforts to liberate and help both the last colony and Justarus (the station and colony world), we have given the Othan the time to slip away. They are no doubt far from our reach by now. [11:23 pm] KhreRiovtRex: 2) If we were to pursue, we have ships coming back here to defend this sector, but they are few. I would hate for us to pursue, meet a poor end, and then leave an open corridor for them to slide right back in. [11:24 pm] Lerak trPexil: A lonely path we walk. [11:26 pm] STSF Seiben: Indeed it is. It's fortunate you were able to find someone okay with you being away so often. That's pretty rare. [11:26 pm] Laehval tTemarr: So... we must either continue to provide aid to the colonials and give up the pursuit, or we can pursue and hope we find them, but abandon the outer worlds and hope that others come to their aid. [11:26 pm] STSF Seiben: ::takes a bite of some food:: [11:27 pm] KhreRiovtRex: More or less in a nutshell....ie. [11:27 pm] KhreRiovtRex: As I know many on the home world, myself included, and I'm sure many here as well, seek vengeance, I think that this is na the time nor place for it. However, some may see it as taking an easy way out, or accuse us of fearing to face the Othan. Personally, :: turns and points at the map:: I think from a strategic position, we should not push on. [11:29 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Eats :: [11:29 pm] m_k_tksa: ::watching both t'Temarr and the Khre'Riov closely:: [11:29 pm] KhreRiovtRex: I wanted to first hear both of your thoughts on this. and then I had a follow up from the Daise Maenak on the status of those that were injured. Can they all be handled here, or would the facilities at the shipyards be better? Are any severe cases that need to be taken to the home world? [11:29 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ::She turned to give Ksa a look.:: And au? Do au think we should abandon the pursuit? [11:31 pm] m_k_tksa: IT is my opinion that is better for us to gain our strength then to continue as we are. We know the Othans and what they are capable, and their resources will be cut off. We need to rally our own people. [11:32 pm] Lerak trPexil: How many other ships do are pursuing the Othan. [11:32 pm] KhreRiovtRex: :: nods to tKsa:: [11:33 pm] KhreRiovtRex: And au tTemarr? [11:33 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Ie, I agree. ::Firm nod.:: As much as it pains me to allow the Othan scum to live a moment longer, there are people in need here that are more important than a blood quest. [11:36 pm] STSF Seiben: I don't know off hand, but it wasn't that many [11:36 pm] KhreRiovtRex: Very well...... Then we all agree and will explain it to the crew that we will hold this line for now until we regather our strenght. [11:38 pm] KhreRiovtRex: They have a fully functioning shipyard,.ours..is just getting back on its feet. Our two ships could possibly be flying into a major trap, or just overwhelming forces. Though, we did injure them badly ourselves [11:39 pm] Lerak trPexil: How long would au wait...for someone Koga? [11:40 pm] KhreRiovtRex: Morganna, on the status of your patients. I know au have done extensive work with au team to get their systems back up and the medical facilities. Many of their families also work at the shipyards. They are sending ships here with engineers and medics. Do au have any cases that need to be taken to the shipyard medical, or more severe back to chRihan? [11:41 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: drinks :: [11:41 pm] m_k_tksa: Na that need to be transferred back to ch'Rihan. I'd like to transfer the rest of the patients to the shipyard when they're ready. [11:42 pm] STSF Seiben: Someone? As in that special someone? I don't know, those don't come by too often. But, I think it'd wait at least another 5-10 years. I'm still young enough. [11:42 pm] STSF Seiben: ::drinks his drink:: [11:42 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: glances at his isd and the workload :: [11:44 pm] KhreRiovtRex: That is easily enough done. We can also leave some of our supplies at the shipyard to supplement their stores. We can restock back home. [11:44 pm] STSF Seiben: Did au manage to get some decent rest yet? ::watches him look at his ISD:: [11:45 pm] KhreRiovtRex: I'd also like for au to discuss with the Kheinsa, any recommendations he'd make for the crew. Many did na get to deal with their personal losses before we had to so quickly leave [11:45 pm] Lerak trPexil: Na... and I'd like a massage... but I'm not likely to get it. I'll ask t'Temarr. I'm sure after I do I'll be escorted to the brig...or airlock. [11:46 pm] STSF Seiben: I'd pick the latter. [11:46 pm] Laehval tTemarr: (Or the morgue. ) [11:47 pm] m_k_tksa: Understood ::nods:: [11:47 pm] KhreRiovtRex: (lol) [11:49 pm] Laehval tTemarr: What of the children? ::Looking again at Morgana.:: [11:49 pm] KhreRiovtRex: I want to thank au both, for being so strong and helping the crew get through this. I do na believe we'd have made it through everthing without au both....... Pexil and Koga too........ [11:50 pm] KhreRiovtRex: ::turns to tKsa:: [11:50 pm] STSF Seiben: Hope to get some decent sleep when I retire. At least I'll get a chance to sleep in some. [11:51 pm] Lerak trPexil: I'm na sure what awaits me. [11:51 pm] STSF Seiben: You and me both. [11:53 pm] KhreRiovtRex: ::turns back to Laehval:: Did we na leave them at the medical facilities at the shipyards? [11:54 pm] KhreRiovtRex: If they have na been found someone to be with, we could feasibly pick them back up, and take them back to chRihan. I'm sure Galae medical would be interested to find out what the Othan were doing to them. [11:55 pm] m_k_tksa: There are three remaining. I'll know for sure if we find a familiar match in the morning. [11:56 pm] KhreRiovtRex: have au and the kheinsa been able to gleen any information from them? [11:56 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Alright. I suppose that is the best we can hope for at this point. [11:57 pm] Lerak trPexil: Back home I mean. Perhaps a bit of motivation for me to press on. [11:57 pm] m_k_tksa: Na much, other than they are very comfortable with the maenkenn and nurses. This has been a part of their life for a very long time, maybe since birth. [11:59 pm] KhreRiovtRex: ::frowns, displeased with that information:: The day will come, were there will be retribution...... :: turning and pointing to a few areas on the map:: But I'm afraid that today is na that day. We have way too many holes....in our net......that predators can make their way into unseen. [12:00 am] KhreRiovtRex: Hann'yyo for both of au opinions. If the crew feels we are making the wrong decision, we will just have to explain it to them. [12:02 am] KhreRiovtRex: Laeh, can au get us back on course for the shipyards. We will be making a brief stop, then heading back to chRihan. I'd also like to turn over those th'ann, that NDak interrogated for us [12:02 am] Laehval tTemarr: I doubt any of them will deny the logic of it, nor the chance to help those in need. [12:02 am] Laehval tTemarr: Ie, Rekkhai. ::Another nod.:: [12:02 am] KhreRiovtRex: I honestly think many would like to check in on their own families as well. We had little time for them to do so before we left [12:03 am] STSF Seiben: Ah. Maybe I can be a Keveshrek commentator on one of those sports holo-networks. [12:03 am] Lerak trPexil: Are au ready to get out of here? Perhaps a holoroom form of relaxation...if we are afforded it. [12:03 am] KhreRiovtRex: I do na wish to take up too much of au valuable time. I know au both have been busy. That is all for now. Hann'yyo for coming by [12:03 am] Lerak trPexil: As an expert? [12:04 am] STSF Seiben: That would be nice. Au could get that massage au wanted? And ie, I still know a lot about the sport and I still follow it regularly. [12:04 am] KhreRiovtRex: :: picks up io of the ISD's and turns back to the map starting to make indications rhae the map for troop moment senarios....

[12:07 am] KhreRiovtRex: We'll pick up next week heading back, and we should let Laehval go enjoy the rest of her birthday....she still have time for more ice cream [12:08 am] Laehval tTemarr: I just had some cake, so on the right track. [12:09 am] Laehval tTemarr: Night, guys. Have a good weekend. [12:09 am] KhreRiovtRex: lol....ok all...thanks and have a great week..... [12:09 am] Lerak trPexil: Night.. [12:09 am] m_k_tksa: Happy Birthday! [12:09 am] KhreRiovtRex: Crew Dismissed
  8. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51803.08 - Season 23 The away team had returned to the ship and had done a quick debriefing with t'Vatrix hrrau her chambers. Shortly into the discussion, she dismissed them to go shower, rest and eat, and get their reports completed and turned in. And really, she wanted them to shower......peew.....

  9.

They did na provide much information of worth unfortunately Lerak trPexil: :: Nods :: KhreRiovtRex: :: walks across the room and activates a padd, coming back with 3 chilled bottles of ale and hands them to the team:: I am interested in au report and thoughts STSF Seiben: Thanks. Laehval tTemarr: ::Sinks into her chair and leans back. Takes the drink with a nod of thanks.:: The people are getting situated. We've done what we can to get their services back up and running. Lerak trPexil: The Othan left these people in much the same state we found people on ch'Rihan. Much of the infrastructure was left intact. STSF Seiben: ::sips his ale:: STSF Seiben: We've transported the people from the farmland. There was only an old freighter as transport left. Lerak trPexil: It needs some service, but it is not bad enough not to fly. STSF Seiben: ::nods:: We managed to repair it enough to get it to a flight worthy state KhreRiovtRex: There are ships heading here from Justarus now that we have made sure the Othan are na here. Though, from what we got from the th'ann au brought back, when the Othan came here, they had hoped to stage vs our shipyard and take it. They did na know that much of Galae's reserve and personal fleets were ...... temporarily here....(and thus, na tricked into being trapped at chRihan). T Lerak trPexil: I imagine our challenges will become more difficult as we progress. STSF Seiben: ::nods in agreement:: KhreRiovtRex: They indicated that they had hoped to bring back reinforcements and make another attempt on Justarus once our fleet had went to fight at chRihan. Fortunately, with our forces routing them there, they swung by in time to warn most of those here, to pull back for now, unsure how much of our fleet was pursuing them KhreRiovtRex: Many of those working on the Shipyards had family here, so they are intent on getting here and getting services back up. Besides this is the main spaceport, as normal commerce is na allowed to route to our military shipyard. KhreRiovtRex: Enough of my talking. Fhaen...au findings, thoughts and anything that stood out to au there? Laehval tTemarr: They seem resilient colonists. With some aid, I think they will be fine. KhreRiovtRex: How heavy had their casualties been from the initial attack? KhreRiovtRex: :: thinking she may have offered them the ale 'after' the reports, as Pexil looked about half ready to doze off , even without the alcohol STSF Seiben: Indeed, they had a good leadership structure and I believe they'll remain loyal to us now. Lerak trPexil: This is strong... KhreRiovtRex: I would hope so, as I said, most are family members of those working at the shipyards. They are very Galae loyal, though I'd be a veruul if I were to believe that all are happy, there are always those that are fans of the Tal'Shiar KhreRiovtRex: Pexil, what was the status of their power systems and other utilities? Laehval tTemarr: They lost roughly a third of the working population in the initial attack, many of those the very young and elderly. Likely a third of the remainder in the camps. The working conditions were harsh. Lerak trPexil: Serviceable... I don't think they will fail, just a lot of maintenance. KhreRiovtRex: Fvaht....that many? :: curses under her breath at the Othan once again:: KhreRiovtRex: The th'ann also indicated that many of the young men and women with engineering skills were taken along when the Othan pulled out, to be put to work on their ships and serve the Othan. They did na know, that ch'Rihan and Galae had persisted. They were told that Othan had taken over and now ran the Empire Laehval tTemarr: It does na surprise me. ::Takes a drink.:: Those remaining on the planet thought that we were to blame for their misfortune. Laehval tTemarr: The Othan continue their campaign of chaos by spreading lies. KhreRiovtRex: Indeed? :: furrows her brow:: Just as they did on ch'Rihan...... KhreRiovtRex: They will pay io day for this..... KhreRiovtRex: I had previously expressed my intentions as to the Othan, yet we also have a duty to free as many of our outer worlds as we can. We also have other matters we need to see to...... KhreRiovtRex: Go get freshened up, a meal and some sleep. Complete au reports and if there is anything else of note we will reconvene here, with t'Ksa and hopefully NDak, and follow up on any other matters, as well as my thoughts on the next step we take. I also wish to hear au thoughts.... KhreRiovtRex: But first....go rest. KhreRiovtRex: And get something to eat,... Laehval tTemarr: And stop stinking up your chambers. ::She smirked as she finished her ale.:: STSF Seiben: ::smiles and finishes his ale:: KhreRiovtRex: :: grins:: Ie...that thought was coming to mind.....hence..why only the ale and na the meal.... KhreRiovtRex: Au are all dismissed for h'nah. PAUSE SIM PAUSE SIM Laehval tTemarr: Night, guys. I'm bushed.

We are after all, home to those that work at Justarus Shipyards. I'm not even sure where you found that piece of junk? Perhaps the junkyard waiting for scrap conversion?

  14. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51801.11 - Season 23 !!! The Talon away team had beamed down to the planet of Quatel to investigate the status of the planet and its people. They have found a large amount of people outside of the town, locked in a high fenced corral. Approximately 50 workers and 5 guards head out to harvest some sort of tuber root that grows well here. The workers all lined up before a small out building and take the tools and bags handed to them to start collecting, so some of our security and team infiltrated the group. The AT attempted to take out as many of the guards as possible, however a standoff has ensued. The work gang, only seeing weapons fire, quickly take refuge in the other storage buildings. They know if whoever is doing this loses, that their families will be made to pay, so they must not be involved. others take off back towards the camp, and a few turn to help the newcomers... t’A ordered the team to close in on one holdout that had barricaded himself in a work shed and ordered the team to take him out. Upon bursting in security forces took out what appeared to be an Othan guard, still just a youth. that had obviously been pressed into service for the Othan.

RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51801.14 - Season -22 [11:11 pm] KhreRiovtRex: RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51712.21 Talon away team has beamed down to the planet of Quatel to investigate the status of the planet and its people. They have found a large amount of people outside of the town, locked in a high fenced corral. Approximately 50 workers and 5 guards head out to harvest some sort of tuber root that grows well here. The workers all lined up before a small out building and take the tools and bags handed to them to start collecting, so some of our security and team infiltrated the group. The AT attempted to take out as many of the guards as possible, however a standoff has ensued. The work gang, only seeing weapons fire, quickly take refuge in the other storage buildings. They know if whoever is doing this loses, that their families will be made to pay, so they must not be involved. others take off back towards the camp, and a few turn to help the newcomers...

  16. USS REPUBLIC MISSION BRIEFING 51712.12 - SEASON 26 Alrighty...so we left off last week with Rue going one direction, Jax working on the shuttle systems, Holly scanning from the ship while Blu is still taken ill, and our intrepid hikers, who decided prior to dusk, that rather than turn back and sleep at the shuttle and get a fresh start in the morning, that they were going to camp on their 7-mile hike up into the mountains,as they did not want to have to cover ground they had already hiked. The sun has just set and the last vestiges of daylight are fading. STSF_BluRox: BEGIN SIM STSF_BluRox: BEGIN SIM STSF_BluRox: BEGIN SIM STSF_BluRox: Holly> @ ::targeting on the areas the AT has given for the ship to scan from orbit and see if they are able to pick up anything:: August Jax Robinson: ::Following Rue, phaser in hand - annoyed:: STSF Seiben: ::follows Heather:: Rue Wydown: ((Hey Jax - I don't think we went far from the shuttle. If I read this correctly, the other two hiked on?)) STSF Seiben: (That's what I understood) August Jax Robinson: {{{Nervous with my phaser pointed at your back?}} STSF_BluRox: (Rue went to look the other direction while Jax was working on the ship, she could have joined you. Heather and Seiben decided to keep heading towards the objective, which was about a 7-mile hike up into the mountains...at night) Rue Wydown: ((Just a bit)) STSF_BluRox: (and noted at the end of last week’s sim, in doing so...... STSF_BluRox: Let's just say, there will be a substantial negative roll versus .....oh say....surviving.. lol) August Jax Robinson: ::walks up next to Rue:: how long was this hike again? STSF Seiben: I don't think this was a good idea.. Rue Wydown: Back to the shuttle? Just a few minutes. ::tucking her PADD away:: With luck the boys are back with some news. Heather Jamieson: :: Walking with Seiben, scanning all the while :: August Jax Robinson: no how long until we reach a town or something? ACTION: There is only a sliver of each of the 2 moons showing this night. The shuttle had gotten several miles up into the mountains, but still had quite a distance to go, but as they had been told, machinery did not function correctly in a an area up above the lake STSF Seiben: It's pretty dark, should we head back to the shuttle?? Rue Wydown: That depends. How did you do with getting the shuttle working? ::pushes back a tree branch, retracing her steps back to the shuttle:: Heather Jamieson: I am up for either. STSF Seiben: Let's head back. We won''t make it to our destination in the dark August Jax Robinson: I was able to get minimal systems going, replicator, lights, heat and comm's STSF Seiben: We'll try again in the morning STSF Seiben: morning* Rue Wydown: ::steps back into the clearing where the shuttle is:: So it looks like we'll be here for the night. STSF Seiben: ::looks at his tricorder:: We still have about 11km to go August Jax Robinson: wonderful ACTION: Heather and Seiben are about 3 miles up the mountain from the shuttle, and 4 miles from their destination. It is virtually pitch black with lots of loose footing Rue Wydown: We've got food, shelter and water. And Holly watching out for us. What more could we need? ::amused by this adventure:: STSF Seiben: Oh sorry.. my tricorder GPS just updated. We're halfway between shuttle and mountain. Still think it's better to head back to the shuttle and continue in the morning. August Jax Robinson: {{{Boooo}} STSF Seiben: (awww) August Jax Robinson: {{half way! don't be a sissy... keep going}} STSF Seiben: (But I don't wanna!) STSF_BluRox: (there is a major dice roll in my favor either way.....) Heather Jamieson: We should settle for the night. STSF Seiben: Where can we shelter? I have some Ration Packs in my bag. Rue Wydown: ACTION>Loose footing equals loose rocks. STSF Seiben: Well, you're the scientist and ranking officer. You got a tent in there? Or should we built something or find a cave... STSF_BluRox: ((no no boys and girls..you walked off with your tricorders, you do not get a magic tent) STSF Seiben: (expected as much) August Jax Robinson: {{Naked and afraid doesn't get a tent or clothes}} Heather Jamieson: We should find somewhere we can rest. :: Looks at her scans :: Rue Wydown: ((This is not Harry Potter. No magic wands either)) STSF_BluRox: (let's pass on the naked and just stay with afraid) Rue Wydown: Hey, you up for popcorn and a movie? ::glances at Jax:: If this thing has enough juice? STSF Seiben: Maybe we should've stayed in the shuttle? Oh well, too late now. STSF_BluRox: (remember, tricorders were having issues even when you left the shuttle, they continue to have lapses in picking up information) STSF Seiben: I agree. My tricorder doesn't have good reception. August Jax Robinson: {{Agree Blu }} STSF Seiben: (like my cellphone service provider lol) STSF_BluRox: (thinks the two expert campers are sleeping at the shuttle, while my city boys are off hiking in the dark.....what could go wrong?) August Jax Robinson: {{BRB - Refill}} STSF Seiben: (yeah, I haven't gone camping in almost 20 years... it shows doesn't it ) Rue Wydown: ((and I was camping 2 weeks ago.)) Heather Jamieson: :: Looks around :: : ACTION: As darkness has taken hold, the temperature continues to drop and it has become a bit uncomfortable STSF_BluRox: (for you species without fur) STSF Seiben: ::struggles to find his footing, shining his armlight out in front of him:: August Jax Robinson: <<Bak>> Rue Wydown: ACTION> Our lead hiker triggers a rock slide of loose gravel that affects the one in the back of this expedition STSF Seiben: Ahh ::falls;: STSF Seiben: Oof! ::falls on his butt:: August Jax Robinson: ::Climbs into the Shuttle::: I guess the others made it to town Heather Jamieson: Ahh! :: falls in sync :: STSF_BluRox: ACTION: As luck, and my pair of Earth and Stone dice command.... They begin tumbling down the hillside together, and a rather unhealthy crunch is heard..... STSF_BluRox: (both, give me a roll 1-10) STSF Seiben: (unlesss.. does KOA count? If so, then 15 years :P ) STSF Seiben: (6) Heather Jamieson: (4) STSF_BluRox: now a 1 2 or 3?

STSF Seiben: (I live in Toronto.. to me 'rouging it' is staying in a place with no WiFi ) August Jax Robinson: ((That was my Pick too!!}} STSF_BluRox: ACTION: As the two of them tumble together, a tree decides to help break their fall.....and evidently.... Heather's ankle Rue Wydown: Did Seiben or Jamieson tell you how long they'd be gone? STSF_BluRox: Holly @> +Commander Wydown+ What can we do for you? Heather Jamieson: :: tears up :: Ah...Seiben....I think it may be broken. It hurts. STSF Seiben: What is? Uh oh. I think I'm in one piece. I'll help you to a shelter STSF Seiben: If I can find one. STSF_BluRox: (It is also bent at a very nasty angle) Rue Wydown: +Republic+ Hey Holly. Just doing our check in call. I've got two members of my away team who haven't returned to the shuttle. We've got minimal scanners due to the interference here. I'm hoping you guys can scan and let me know that they're still alive and that I don't have to scrap their remains off the side of the mountain in the morning. Rue Wydown: ((Here's a hint guys - at this point you're going to probably have to build a shelter and not expect to stumble on one in the dark)) STSF Seiben: ;;helps Heather up and walks ahead:: Trees trees and more trees. Almost like a Bob Ross painting. ACTION: Seiben and Heather are still on the side of a mountain, a bit less then 3 miles from the ship. It is very dark, and very steep Rue Wydown: ((Google what would Bear Grylls do if you need help)) STSF_BluRox: (ok..you just slid down a hillside, it is still very steep...where is this walking around?) Rue Wydown: Hey Jax, what movie do you want to watch? Heather Jamieson: I can't move much Seiben. August Jax Robinson: Jaws 54? STSF Seiben: I'll grab some of these branches and vines and try to build some kind of shelter. I sort of remember my Academy Survival Training Rue Wydown: Is that one where the tornado is full of sharks? STSF_BluRox: (Seiben, you just got a bonus point that kept you and Heather from falling down the next hill as you tried to help her walk...just for the Bob Ross comment..... ) STSF Seiben: (lol yay)))) Heather Jamieson: I don't think I can move. :: sits :: STSF Seiben: Stay there, I'll gather up some branches and build a fire STSF_BluRox: Holly> @+Rue+ We'll run a scan for you, but we've also had some difficulty with that region...hence why your team was sent in, but we'll run a full scan and get right back to you...please hold August Jax Robinson: no that is sharknado 1 through 233 STSF Seiben: ::Gets some large branches, leaves and vines and sets about building a makeshift shelter:: August Jax Robinson: this is the one where the Shark gets a bigger- bigger boat and tries to race the aussie Rue Wydown: Ooh, I liked that one. Que it up and I"ll get the popcorn. STSF_BluRox: (Shame, shame , shame.....somebody doesn't know their Enemy Within TOS episode.....Tos Season 1: ep 5) August Jax Robinson: ::taps console and pulls up Jaws 54 and 55 if they have time, or are awake!:: STSF_BluRox: (or TNG: Season 4, epi 9, Final Mission...tisk tisk) Rue Wydown: ::returns after a few moments with buttered popcorn and sodas:: Heather Jamieson: :: Moves over slowly :: Let me help you. Heather Jamieson: Aww STSF Seiben: ::sticks the branches in the ground and pulls them together to form a roof:: I wouldn't recommend that. You'll make your ankle worse. August Jax Robinson: Grape soda, Sweeeeeet STSF Seiben: ::ties up the branches together with the vines and puts the leaves on top for a little tiny bit of insulation sort of:: STSF Seiben: Maybe can you build a fire? STSF Seiben: Lots of wood and stuff lying about Rue Wydown: I could be worried and go charging after the team, get myself lost or hurt. Or I can just chill until morning and then see what happened in the daylight Heather Jamieson: :: Puts her head in her hands :: I've messed this up, this mission. STSF_BluRox: HOLLY> @ +Commander Wydown+ Sensors are still having difficulty scanning that area that you were heading towards, as well as that area in the lake near the dam. We have both you and Jax telemetry readings at the shuttle, and are showing much weaker readings about halfway up the mountain from you of two other signs. Both are week, but one seems very off, as if in some sort of stress situation. The LtCmd Jamison is showing some sort of duress if I read this right. STSF_BluRox: unfortuantly, we cannot beam them out. My suggestion would be to wait until morning and perhaps to check on them, or see if you are able to reach them on your communicators. We've been unable to reach them. Rue Wydown: +Republic+ I'm not sure our communicators will work without the shuttle boosting them. Send me the coordinates and we'll head out at first light. August Jax Robinson: +Holly+ Jamison was born in Duress Heather Jamieson: :: Hugs herself :: It's getting colder. STSF_BluRox: @+Commander Wydown+ Sending to you know. let us know if you need additional personnel to assist you. Rue Wydown: We're going to have to pack a survival kit before we leave in the morning. STSF_BluRox: (I've changed my hometown in the weather channel to Winterfell for the rest of December, next month it goes back to Hoth) August Jax Robinson: maybe I should stay here... to get the shuttle going again? Rue Wydown: @+Republic+ Probably going to need additional personnel to help with the search. Can you have them beam down to the dam site and head up in the morning with the local form of transport? STSF Seiben: ::finishes building the shelter, and starts to build a fire:: It's not much, but I guess it's better than nothing. At least we'll be out of the wind in this spot STSF_BluRox: @ Holly> + We'll have to send another shuttle, we're still unable to beam to the dam either, thus your current shuttle Rue Wydown: Yeah, that's a good idea. But getting a good nice rest will help both of us. STSF_BluRox: and.... STSF_BluRox: Pause sim Rue Wydown: +Republic+ Got it. Have them bring extra parts and equipment. Jax can send up a list. STSF_BluRox: PAUSE SIM STSF_BluRox: PAUSE SIM August Jax Robinson: ::Paused:: STSF Seiben: ::Paused:: STSF_BluRox: Bob Ross most likely saved one of your lives tonight....your negative modifier got Heather out of a Double Critical Fail..I rolled a 1, and so did she..... Rue Wydown: We'll find them frozen in the morning STSF Seiben: August Jax Robinson: i love Bob STSF Seiben: yeah, probably STSF Seiben: Bob is the man STSF_BluRox: Well, I gave you both references.......they won't freeze, but they aren't going to feel great either........ Heather's broken ankle however...we'll have to see Rue Wydown: I gotta head out guys. If I don't see you Thursday - have a Merry Christmas STSF_BluRox: Ok and with that....Crew Dismissed. Happy Holidays to you all.

Thankyou for coming tonight
  18. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51712.14 - Season 22 Talon away team has beamed down to the planet of Quatel to investigate the status of the planet and its people. Our probe showed a large number of life signs on the eastern continent, but there has been no communication from the planet and no answer to our hails. [11:19 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Everyone is on the Away Team. (Or you can play an NPC on the Away Team if your character is occupied.) [11:19 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Questions? [11:20 pm] m_k_tksa: I'm following y'alls lead [11:21 pm] Lerak trPexil: None here. [11:22 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Alright, let's go. [11:22 pm] Laehval tTemarr: BEGIN SIM [11:22 pm] Laehval tTemarr: BEGIN SIM [11:22 pm] Laehval tTemarr: BEGIN SIM [11:24 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> You and a small team of security beam down to the planet's surface on the Eastern Continent near area with the largest number of life signs. You're in a clearing in a large wooded area. There's no immediate sign of a city, but sensors show life signs to the north. [11:24 pm] STSF Seiben: ::scanning the area:: [11:24 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Checks his handheld scanner :: [11:25 pm] m_k_tksa: ::on the away team with the rest of the crew, after beaming down, tries to get her bearings while gropping for her multicorder:: Purple leaves. Haven't seen those in a while. [11:25 pm] STSF Seiben: I guess we should head north? [11:27 pm] m_k_tksa: If we want to check out where the settlement might be, yes. [11:27 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Feels his ears pop :: There is no one in the immediate area. [11:29 pm] m_k_tksa: ::makes a motion for two of the security officers to lead the way:: On ward. ::waves to S'Bien and tr'Pexil:: [11:29 pm] STSF Seiben: ::nods and follllows:: [11:30 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Security> ::Armed and scouting ahead, being cautious as they move through the forest.:: [11:31 pm] m_k_tksa: ::wondering if the beaming the woods was a tactical decision or a punishment:: [11:33 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Walking along in the middle of the group :: [11:34 pm] m_k_tksa: About how many lifeforms are you picking up? [11:34 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> The forest was quiet, dark, and deep. The underbrush was thick and the trees large and ancient. Large clouds of insects collected in swarms. [11:34 pm] STSF Seiben: Nice foliage [11:35 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Looks towards the swarm sounds :: I am not a fan of insects. [11:35 pm] STSF Seiben: Hard to tell, but it looks like at least 50-100, probably more. [11:35 pm] Lerak trPexil: How much further? [11:36 pm] STSF Seiben: The life signs i'm able to detect anyway... about a kilometre or so? [11:36 pm] Lerak trPexil: Ah, not to far then :: hears the buzzing :: [11:37 pm] m_k_tksa: ::shivers, just missed this type of environment from her days back home, seems peaceful enough:: [11:37 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: The forest floor was squishy under Pexil's feet and he was never sure what he was stepping on :: [11:38 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> As they moved further into the woods, they came upon a herd of large, four-legged furry creatures with large eyes and fuzzy branch-like protrusions atop their heads. They scampered off as the group approached, hooves chiming against the ground. [11:39 pm] KhreRiovtRex: ((Sorry at light, just watching) [11:39 pm] m_k_tksa: :::claps a hand over her mouth to keep from giggling in surprise:: [11:39 pm] Lerak trPexil: Scientists must have a field day here. [11:39 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: turns to t'Ksa :: [11:40 pm] STSF Seiben: I'm sure they would. The same for painters too. This forest would make a nice backdrop to paint [11:41 pm] Lerak trPexil: Au paint? [11:42 pm] m_k_tksa: Let's remember why we're here. ::frowns now, trying to keep herself from stray off:: [11:42 pm] STSF Seiben: A little bit [11:42 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Walks, hoping the forest edge is close, or at least their destination :: What I'd do to have my hover-cycle here... [11:43 pm] m_k_tksa: Those are meant for the open pavement, na settings like this. [11:43 pm] Lerak trPexil: Na the models and way I fly them. [11:43 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: scanning :: [11:44 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> The forest began to thin and they could see the signs of a small settlement. Outside of the warmth of the forest, it began to grow colder. A dusting of snow covered the ground beyond the trees. The houses were charming, wooden structures made from the trees from the forest. There was little to be seen in the way of technology or modern materials. [11:44 pm] STSF Seiben: Mm [11:44 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Points :: There, up ahead. [11:45 pm] STSF Seiben: Nice woodsy charm [11:45 pm] m_k_tksa: ::stopping for a moment while the security officers scan ahead:: [11:46 pm] Lerak trPexil: I do not yet detect signs of Othan activity here. [11:46 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Security> ::They paused at the edge of the forest where they still had plenty of cover and began scanning for signs of people. One pointed to the left.:: Most of the lifesigns are over there, clustered together. [11:47 pm] m_k_tksa: Is there any vantage point in which we can see what's going on so that we know what we're walking into? [11:48 pm] Laehval tTemarr: Security> We could skirt the forest and head a bit to the west. Maybe get a better view. Everyone stay within cover and stay quiet. [11:49 pm] m_k_tksa: Aye, we'll follow au's lead. [11:49 pm] STSF Seiben: ::nods:: [11:52 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> As they move (as quietly as possible) through the forest, they are struck by how silent the settlement is. There seems to be no movement within the village itself. [11:52 pm] m_k_tksa: ::whispering:: Are we sure these are lifesigns? And that they're RIhan? [11:53 pm] Lerak trPexil: I do na like this. [11:54 pm] STSF Seiben: I have to agree [11:55 pm] Lerak trPexil: Perhaps they are in hiding from our arrival. [11:56 pm] m_k_tksa: ::whispering:: Au still haven't answered my question. [11:57 pm] Lerak trPexil: I am na getting anything.. let me try some things. [11:57 pm] STSF Seiben: Much much interference [11:57 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> At the end of the village, they can see the beginnings of a security enclosure. Large vertical poles anchor tall fencing that surrounds a huge open area. The lifesigns are coming from beyond the fencing, though the Away Team can already see the people they are tracking. [11:58 pm] KhreRiovtRex: Continues working on report to send back to the home world [11:58 pm] Lerak trPexil: I don't know... wait.. I have something. At the far end of the settlement. [11:59 pm] m_k_tksa: That can na be good. ::uses her multicorder to document the fencing:: [11:59 pm] Lerak trPexil: Looking for defensive measures. [12:00 am] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> What seems like thousands of people are trapped behind the fence, clustered together in familial groups and huddled against the cold. Armed Othan guards patrol the surrounding area. [12:00 am] Laehval tTemarr: (( Two minute warning )) [12:01 am] m_k_tksa: ::starts counting guards:: This is definitely na good. [12:02 am] Lerak trPexil: So much for no Othan presense. [12:02 am] STSF Seiben: How many of them are there? [12:03 am] Laehval tTemarr: ACTION> A lot.

No spoilers [12:06 am] KhreRiovtRex: Thank you very much for the birthday wish and dont worry I dont do spoilers I give people 10 days [12:07 am] KhreRiovtRex: If you haven't seen by Christmas that is fair game [12:07 am] Lerak trPexil: Buzz is good though [12:07 am] Laehval tTemarr: Nice simming, everyone. [12:07 am] Laehval tTemarr: See you next week. [12:07 am] STSF Seiben: At least they gave us taxi chits to go home [12:07 am] KhreRiovtRex: Hey quick question before you all run is everybody good to go ahead and run this coming Thursday I did not know if anybody was leaving early for travel [12:08 am] STSF Seiben: Should be [12:08 am] Lerak trPexil: I am here [12:08 am] m_k_tksa: I'm not sure if i'll be here or not. I've got to pick up my parents at the airport [12:08 am] KhreRiovtRex: But I figure as most people are still working through Friday we should be OK and secondly did you want to see him that week between Christmas and New Year’s? when [12:09 am] KhreRiovtRex: Sorry using Siri she can’t spell that was not see him that was Sim [12:09 am] STSF Seiben: lol [12:10 am] Laehval tTemarr: I'll be here next week. Not going anywhere. I say we take a break between Christmas and New Years. [12:10 am] STSF Seiben: I agree [12:10 am] Lerak trPexil: I can write that Nalia letter... [12:11 am] KhreRiovtRex: All right then we will try to sim this coming Thursday i.e. next week and then we will take off between Christmas and New Year’s give everyone a break and get right back at it in January [12:11 am] m_k_tksa: OK33 [12:11 am] STSF Seiben: OK [12:12 am] KhreRiovtRex: If theres nothing else crew dismissed thank you again everybody I appreciate you taking care of this so I can see the movie for my birthday and go to the party I do appreciate it very much have a great weekend [12:12 am] Lerak trPexil: Night [12:12 am] STSF Seiben: Goodnight! | [12:13 am] KhreRiovtRex: Good night all.

  19. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51711.30 - SEASON 22 Laeh was forming an away team to go down to Quatel to investigate its status as it has been unheard from since the Othan had attacked it. A probe had been sent down to get some early information before the team heads down Begin Sim Begin sim Begin Sim KhreRiovtRex: ::: Rhae the oira watching the probe data start to come in from the probe:: STSF Seiben: ::monitors the status of the probe:: Lerak trPexil: :: In enginnering :: m_k_tksa: ::playing the Rihannsu version of 'rock, paper, scissors," to figure out who's going on the away team:: KhreRiovtRex: Koga, Pexil..... Thoughts from the probe reading. How much interference from the singularity remnants of the destroyed ships? Will it interfere with transport, or would flying a shuttle through that be more dangerous? STSF Seiben: Judging by these readings, I don't think I would recommend transport, though it is possible. I'd say the less riskier option is to go by shuttle. Though there is certainly much risk in both options. Lerak trPexil: I would not be surprised if the probes signals are being blocked.. Lerak trPexil: :: Eng station rather :: m_k_tksa: :::grins as she gets the med staff she wanted to help now win (or lose) the drawing:: KhreRiovtRex: Well....::indicating the screen:: the probe has picked up large congregations of lifeforms, while at the same time, very little with regards to large energy signatures. KhreRiovtRex: The same is noted on the other large continent, lifeforms showing in all major population centers, but a noted lack of large energy sources. Some energy is working however. KhreRiovtRex: We're picking up enough to see that they've not decimated the place.... well, not all of it. But it looks much like on the homeworld. They’ve hit the major power plants Lerak trPexil: Are known sources suppressed as well? :: Looks :: Lerak trPexil: We may be able to carve a path down to the surface. STSF Seiben: ::nods:: KhreRiovtRex: We're not picking up too much detail.... Ie or na? Hteij or RAC? Lerak trPexil: Prep a RAC, send down a test device via Hteij. STSF Seiben: I agree KhreRiovtRex: So, au don't know? Or the probe failed? KhreRiovtRex: Could this na have been done at the same time as the probe was sent to na waste time? m_k_tksa: ::gives directions on what pieces of equipment they should take and what to pack:: KhreRiovtRex: :: knows that she's na removed either of their tongues:: STSF Seiben: Sending the probe was safer I'd say. The probe still is transmitting. Lerak trPexil: The only proper test is a cylinder, but since we are not detecting any power sources on the surface I'm hopeful for that route. :: Readying the RAC instructions to the bay :: KhreRiovtRex: So...again, I ask. Do aur teams go down by hteij or RAC STSF Seiben: I'd recommend by RAC Lerak trPexil: RAC. KhreRiovtRex: Perhaps Pexil, au should look at those readings again. There is clearly power sources on both continent, just not much on the one KhreRiovtRex: Very well. I'll have security and t’Temarr check the more affected area. I want au two, to head to the eastern continent with the Daise Maenak to where we are picking up large numbers of life forms, and assess the populace, and see if there is any indication of Othan influence still in the area. Dheno will be assigned to au team as well. STSF Seiben: Ie rerkkhai.

  20. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51711115 - SEASON 22 The Talon is approaching Quatel, not knowing what we will find on the formerly well populated planet. Reports from Justarus informed us that before the Othan attached the Shipyards, they attacked this system, and based some of their operations from here. [11:16 pm] BEGIN SIM [11:18 pm] KhreRiovtRex: Scan the system, any evidence of ships guarding the area? [11:18 pm] Laehval tTemarr: ::On the bridge, Laehval watched the planet approach and then squinted at the screen beside her, studying the readings coming from the sensors.:: [11:19 pm] KhreRiovtRex: :: sensors had already shown several debris fields of former ships littering the area:: [11:19 pm] STSF Seiben: ::scanning the area:: Initial scans show negative, however they could be under the cover of cloaking devices. I'll start a more comprehensive scan. [11:19 pm] STSF Seiben: ::does so:: [11:20 pm] KhreRiovtRex: Menkha, I'll assume Stinger is doing the same and keeping an eye rhae our back [11:20 pm] STSF Seiben: ::nods:: [11:21 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Watching cautiously on his display in main engineering as they entered Quatel proper. :: [11:22 pm] m_k_tksa: :::puttering around in medical, having given up on data search for a bit to save her eyesight:: [11:23 pm] KhreRiovtRex: I would guess that all the communications platforms have been destroyed, Justarus said they had little to no warning of the attacks, and what little warning they did have, said that the Othan had taken possession of this planet, and possibly others. [11:24 pm] STSF Seiben: ::begins higher level scans, scanning for any energy signatures from any potential cloaking device:: [11:24 pm] KhreRiovtRex: The question is, what is left? People, infrastructure, or will we walk into an Othan outpost...that worries me the most. However, I know how we will deal with that... [11:24 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Watching power levels, shields, impulse :: ACTION: Much of the area space is difficult to get clear readings, due to residual energies from so many destroyed AQS propulsion systems in such a close proximity. However, sensors are not detecting any other ships or stray 'direct' power sources in the surrounding space [11:26 pm] Lerak trPexil: :: Pixel himself was nervous, and the deck was quite quiet :: [11:27 pm] KhreRiovtRex: Alright, once we're assured that the surrounding space is clear, we should start to scan the planet.

RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 5171026 - SEASON 22 After briefing the crew about checking out the Ustallan and Quatel systems, and leaving Laehval to make sure that all proper angles were covered, the Talon is ready to head off on their current mission, to ensure that the Othan have not razed everything in their wake. Meanwhile, a conversation had went poorly.

Laehval tTemarr: ::Takes a seat and leans back, tilting her head.:: STSF Seiben: Ie? KhreRiovtRex: As personnel fall under au perview, I wish au to have words with the Daise Maenak. She has been surly and insubordinate towards myself for months. I have let it go, as we have all undergone much trauma and loss, but I will na have her standing up and walking out on me, and continuing to spread her attitude around the ship. Lerak trPexil: My team has been making adjustments to the sensitivity of the controls at impulse. :: taps a command :: If you feel it is too loose au can adjust there. :: points to an adjustable indicator ::: STSF Seiben: Ah, okay STSF Seiben: ::tries a minor adjustment just to test it out and corrects it back to where it was:: Very nice, it's definitely more responsive now. Laehval tTemarr: ::Both eyebrows lifted.:: t'Ksa insubordinate? What was said? What did she do? STSF Seiben: Should be useful, thanks. Lerak trPexil: It does push the thrusters a bit, but they are newly forged. m_k_tksa: ((Didn't you know? I didn't kill her when she told me to, so I'm insubordinate.)) STSF Seiben: Hopefully, it won't be long to break it in. KhreRiovtRex: She has stated she can na trust me, and walked out without being dismissed. Laehval tTemarr: What was her reasoning for that? The Daise'Maenak does na usually form unfounded opinions. She is a woman of science and fact. m_k_tksa: Have we run the quarterly diagnostics on stations io through thi? ::glancing at io of her nurses while checking the equipment trays at each station:: KhreRiovtRex: I have spent months of her curtness, and I need a crew that will work together towards our common goals of securing this sector and protecting the home world. She has been and continues to be unwilling to work with me. If she does na wish to serve on the Talon, perhaps au can find her a posting to her liking. Lerak trPexil: :: Nods to Koga :: I am heading down to medical for any engineering concerns. STSF Seiben: All right. KhreRiovtRex: She fears that I will turn on the crew, that I can na be trusted. I told her, if she felt that strongly that I am endangering the crew, then gave her the option of preventing that as well..:: pointed towards the weapon on the desk:: Lerak trPexil: :: Exits the oria and commands the lift to take him to medical :: KhreRiovtRex: I'm here to do a job, I need this crew whole and working together, and as much as I've tried to make amends, she still holds me in contempt. Fvaht...I don't even want to be here...I fvahting retired, and was forced back...... I've had enough. Laehval tTemarr: ::Her eyes followed to the blade and she snorted.;: Well, that was a rather poor way of handling it. ::She picked up the blade and tossed it in her hand. Her eyes lifted to t'Rexan.:: She told au how she was feeling, the reason for her coldness, and au gave her an ultimatum? That does na seem productive. KhreRiovtRex: We can na even think that we can heal aur world, if we can na even heal this ship...fvaht..... Lerak trPexil: :: Enters medical :: Laehval tTemarr: ::She pointed the weapon at her.:: Au know... we have never had our own discussion -- the io we should have had after I knocked au out to keep au from throwing yourself into a blind suicidal rage. m_k_tksa: Let's run that diagnostic again, then. ::glances over her shoulder to see tr'Pexil entering medical:: Jolan tru, rekkhai. What can I do for au? Laehval tTemarr: Au can na expect to win over the trust of the crew again so easily. Au have na been the most reliable Enarrain. Au let your quest for vengeance cloud your better judgement. ::She raised a hand.:: I know that has changed. Au have started seeing reason once again, and I believe au would na put this crew or ship in unnecessary danger. Lerak trPexil: I am here to see what I can do for au and aur team. Are there any engineering issues her I can personally help with? Laehval tTemarr: But au can na wipe out months of irrational behavior with io brief conversation where au completely prove her point by telling her to usurp au. KhreRiovtRex: And yet, when I make attempts at amends, it is thrown hrrau my face Laehval tTemarr: By your own admission, au threw that in her face. ::She tossed the dagger back onto the desk.:: How is that making amends? STSF Seiben: ::Settles in and keeps their course and speed steady:: m_k_tksa: ::dusts off her hands:: Nurse Tau is about to run the quarterly diagnostics on those three stations over there. m_k_tksa: Perhaps au could oversee that? That way I don't have to relay messages back to au about what we find? Lerak trPexil: I can remain for a moment while those proceed. Laehval tTemarr: ::She sighed.:: Rekkhai, I honestly believe that au should speak to the Kheinsa about what's been going on with au. Everything that has happened. Lerak trPexil: This a small rest from the oria, so this was na problem. KhreRiovtRex: My thoughts and behavior, were focused on those that did this to us, and wanting to prevent them from escaping. m_k_tksa: The Oira na to your liking? ::watching as Tau types the commands into the etrehh to start the diagnostic:: Lerak trPexil: :: He looked at t'Ksa for a moment :: Ready for our next mission? m_k_tksa: Are we ever ready? ::amused smirk:: KhreRiovtRex: Ie, and I'm sure she has also given him an earful of her hatred towards me. They are a .....team, but Var'lon had trusted him previously. so I will na say na . But why is it that au feel I need too? Do au mistrust me as well? Galae put me in charge of our defense in this sector. KhreRiovtRex: They felt I was still able to do the job........ that and they'd still be in hiding if na for this crew.... But, are au having doubts and questioning their decisions as well? Laehval tTemarr: ::Her eyebrow lifted again.:: Au think the Kheinsa is corruptible simply because he is her mate? That is an insult to his profession. ::She waved a hand at the dagger.:: Your attempt at making amends ended in an ultimatum where au invited the Daise'Maenak to eliminate au, and au wonder why I would be concerned? Lerak trPexil: Oh, of medical matters. One of the women I knew from ch'Rihan is living with my parents and recovering nicely, Nalia. She is helping with chores and other odds and ends while she stays. Lerak trPexil: On behalf of my family I thank au for the efforts to help those people. KhreRiovtRex: She stated that she feared I would turn on the crew. I but told her if she felt I was that much of a danger, then to remove it. m_k_tksa: Oh? Is this to be a temporary arrangement, or are you hoping that it becomes more permenant? Lerak trPexil: :: Goes over to watch the diagnosis :: Lerak trPexil: :: He about chokes at t'Ksa's question :: Umm, that is yet to be determined. m_k_tksa: Tau>::Makes a face:: There's a blip in the cardiac monitoring system here. Laehval tTemarr: I would say that is na an unfounded fear, given your past behavior. Your actions and thoughts were focused on the Othans and defeating them, but au also alienated yourself from the crew. As I said, trust takes time. Lerak trPexil: I don't know her that well, all things considered. I guess seeing her in that state I took a heap of pity on her. m_k_tksa: ::amused chuckle:: I see. Well, I hope she has a good recovery then ::doesn't say "speedy" just because it might be counter to what tr'Pexil wants:: Lerak trPexil: :: turns :: Just an every day citizen in a dire situation. Laehval tTemarr: Au wish to make amends and prove that au are the leader that we know au to be, but au can na do that by automatically jumping to the conclusion that everyone that questions your methods wishes to see au stripped of command. Lerak trPexil: :: He did not mention her attractiveness, especially when she was her normal self at that shop. It was refreshing...no ties to the Galae, none to the Tal Shiar...though that would be really funny in light of all events :: Laehval tTemarr: We are na questioning your ability to command this ship. ::Pointedly.:: Lerak trPexil: If this mission goes well I hope to see her at her as I first met her. Lerak trPexil: :: He watched t'Ksa's staff work on their diagnostics :: KhreRiovtRex: And yet, I can make na headway with the Daise Maenak. I'll be honest, my first thought was to get her off the ship, but realized that too, would be counterproductive. Which is why I asked au to speak with her as well. If it will make au feel better, then go ahead, and send the Kheinsa up. I will speak with him. m_k_tksa: Tau>And there's another irregularity here. ::frowns at the diagnostic:: Lerak trPexil: Perfection in engineering is a journey, not a destination. KhreRiovtRex: Though au all must remember, I still am under orders by Galae, and in part with Justaru's lead in this sector. I do na have time to take a vacation,. KhreRiovtRex: I need to make sure this sector is secure. And I need 'all' of au help to do so Lerak trPexil: :: His mind wandered from Laehval to Nalia, then Nalia to Laehval...this was going to be a long mission :: KhreRiovtRex: PAUSE SIM KhreRiovtRex: Pause sim KhreRiovtRex: Ok, thanks all, have a good night, Crew Dismissed Laehval tTemarr: Night, everyone.

  23. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51710.19 - SEASON 22 The senior staff had just been called to a meeting to discuss our upcoming mission plans and work up a course of action for us to follow in checking out the Ustallan and Quatel systems to ensure that the Othan have not razed in in their departure from the area, and if we find them there, to root them out and set the systems free. Pexil and Seiben had been assigned tasks and to follow up with Laehval, who along with NDak were to have oversite on getting things moving and underway. Meanwhile, t'Vatrix has finally decided to have that discussion with t'Ksa that needs to be done and they have moved to her chambers. (for now, we'll assume NDak has moved back to Stinger to make preparations to move towards our objectives BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM KhreRiovtRex: :: Enters her chambers, assuming tKsa has been following behind her:: STSF Seiben: ::at the oira:: KhreRiovtRex: :: moves around behind the desk and takes a seat:: m_k_tksa: ::shoots tr'Aieme a look before following the Khre'Riov into her chambers:: m_k_tksa: ::stands before t'Valtrix's desk:: What is au need, rekkhai. Maenakenn are here to serve. KhreRiovtRex: ::the door to the Khre'Riov's chamber closes behind them, leaving the others on the oira to be about their duties:: KhreRiovtRex: :: looks the woman in the face, nodding to her:: Hann'yyo Daise Maenak, Fhaen, take a seat. Laehval tTemarr: ::As prepared as they could be in this situation, and with something of a plan in mind, Laehval moved back onto the bridge to take her usual seat.:: m_k_tksa: ::perches herself on the edge of a seat:: KhreRiovtRex: Where au able to settle that group of children that au have been looking over here at the station? Arrangements made to reunite them with families, or some sort of temporary care? Lerak trPexil: :: Getting his end of the arrangement together :: STSF Seiben: ::Scanning the area they were going to amongst other things:: m_k_tksa: With the exception of three of them, ie. The remaining have na family relations within the region in which they were found. We're still combing through the records we've gathered at the station to determine if there's a lead here. If na, we'll make arrangements for them locally at the next location. The Kheinsa has a few contacts that he's been working with to ensure their safety. KhreRiovtRex: Random Erein> :: brings ISD of operations updates over to Laehval rhae the oira:: Lheii, for au approvals KhreRiovtRex: That is menkha. More so that they have mostly been returned to families. I look forward to reviewing au report to Galae Medical of the conditions au found them under and what care and treatments au and tr'Aieme have decided upon. Lerak trPexil: :: Checking the new inventories :: KhreRiovtRex: However..... That is only partially the reason for me calling au fahd today. m_k_tksa: ::inclines her head just so:: Laehval tTemarr: ::She nodded as she took the ISD and reviewed it.:: S'Bien, do au have our next course plotted? STSF Seiben: Ie. I do KhreRiovtRex: The other reason I've asked au fahd today, is that I am concerned about ....... our interactions. The crew holds au in high esteem, but it is noticeable, the tension that has built between us. KhreRiovtRex: We used to have a strong working relationship, one of trust and respect, that served us both well with the crew, as well as with each other. However, for the better part of the last year, I only seem to garner feelings of loathing, disrespect and au being short with me. m_k_tksa: ::just waits for t'Valtrix to go on:: Laehval tTemarr: Very well. Signal to all departments to finalize all transfers and inform them that we will be departing. KhreRiovtRex: :: trying to judge t’Ksa's reaction and mood:: STSF Seiben: Ie rekhai.. STSF Seiben: +Dept Heads+ We shall be departing soon. Please finalize your transfers KhreRiovtRex: This ship needs a strong united crew at this time. Au voice is held in high regard with the crew, so it would be in the best interest to our mission, that we try to reconcile whatever rift has formed between us. Laehval tTemarr: Signal the station and request departure authorization. m_k_tksa: And what exactly do au think has caused this rift that au have experienced? Lerak trPexil: :: Gets a delayed message notification on his ISD... sees it's Nalia. Shoves it over for later :: STSF Seiben: ::nods:: +Station+ This is the Talon requesting clearance to depart KhreRiovtRex: That is why I've asked au fahd, so that we can discuss whatever issue au have developed with me, and to see how we might work together to mend it. m_k_tksa: Permission to speak freely, Khre'Riov. KhreRiovtRex: At io time, au were the only person I could fully trust, and honestly it greatly bothers me, that relationship has been damaged. Laehval tTemarr: Station> +S'Bien+ Granted. Transmitting departure orders now. Happy hunting. STSF Seiben: ::nods:: Okay, we're ready to depart KhreRiovtRex: As au well know, I had made the decision, to retire and end my time in space, to raise my family. I thought I was done with this, but then I was forced back here, with promises that if I did, my family would na be hurt. Lerak trPexil: :: He wondered what the message contained, and it made him think of Laehval. For a while he'd been staring at cells of numbers :: Laehval tTemarr: Request readiness from all departments and then prepare for departure. KhreRiovtRex: The crew fahd, I have given all the chance to step away, back before we wrested control of chRihan back, afterwards before the attacks on the orbital platforms and again at the camps. All were offered to leave is they must, to reunite with family. It's my assumption, that since very few left, they wished to be fahd. Au however, I am unsure of? STSF Seiben: +Depts+ Can I get your current readiness statuses? KhreRiovtRex: :: sits back and waits to see if tKsa will engage into the conversation:: Lerak trPexil: +Koga+ Engineering reports ready. Cargo is safely aboard m_k_tksa: Again, permission to speak freely? ::wonders if the Khre'Riov will stop monologuing at some point and actually converse:: KhreRiovtRex: Fhaen, that is why I've asked au fahd. m_k_tksa: ::gives her a dark look:: If it was, au would have allowed me to speak five minutes ago when I asked the question earlier. Laehval tTemarr: ::Scrolling through the ISD, flipping the requests off to t'Rex that needed her attention, and replying to the department heads that needed transfer authorization.:: Lerak trPexil: :: Brings up the engineering status boards :: STSF Seiben: ::Receives responses from the other cardboard department heads"" All departments reported in. Prepping for departure. KhreRiovtRex: I'm sorry that au feel that way, I had assumed au would step in while I was speaking. Fhaen...it is obviously that au have a great anger towards me, and I am....... honestly trying to .... to fix this. m_k_tksa: Stepping in when another is speaking is rude. Lerak trPexil: :: Wish he had gotten some of that wine he brought aboard :: m_k_tksa: Au speak of trust and respect. It's hard maintain feelings of trust and respect when io labeled a traitor for expressing an opinion or for asking clarifying questions at a mission briefing situation so that io may understand the true scope of what the mission entails. After months of that sort of treatment, a crew member would feel that it would be in their best interest to stay distant, if na for the safety of the crew but certainly for their own wellbeing. STSF Seiben: ::Does all the necessary things:: We're good to go. Laehval tTemarr: Take us out. ::She settled back into her seat to watch the view screen.:: STSF Seiben: ::nods:: Taking us out. ::engages thrusters and powers out of the station:: KhreRiovtRex: But you conversed just fine there.

STSF Seiben: I would hope it would be. Lerak trPexil: :: Dinner... they needed dinner together.. just her and him. Tiny bits of time. If that was all there was to be then, that's that. :: m_k_tksa: I do na have enough fingers and toes to count the many times au have either discounted opinions or outright called me or others a traitor to the Galae and ch'Rihan. KhreRiovtRex: I... Morgana....if I may, there was a period, that I was blind with grief, I had given up and planned to let the Elements take me, however as much as I tried, they seemed reluctant to take me, and I seriously wished nothing but to yy'a a the time. Others kept forcing me to come back and take charge, I may have said things in my grief and anger, that I should na have, and for that, I do apologize to au if any of it was directly pointed towards au STSF Seiben: ::heading on their course to the Othan area at a reasonable and prudent speed:: Lerak trPexil: Koga, are we heading out a warp 8? STSF Seiben: I'm heading out at the pre-designated speed limit of this particular area. Laehval tTemarr: Signal the Stinger and keep tabs on her. I don't want either of us to get lost out here. KhreRiovtRex: (lol Seiben!) STSF Seiben: (not making that mistake again lol) Laehval tTemarr: (( He's probably measuring in kilometers, too. )) STSF Seiben: (of course I am.

Au are na the only io who lost family members. But au have taken it to an extreme and alienated those who could have supported au. I canna feel sympathy for io who I fear and can na trust, because at any moment au could turn on io or all of us. KhreRiovtRex: Au feel I would do such? Even after we've taken back our planet and are working to make sure it does na happen again? I didn’t ask to be here. Au all, are here because au want to be. I was 'Forced' back and ie, others are dealing with loss and grief as well, which is why I offered any that needed the time to leave, they had a choice. Galae has na given me the same choice. My family was directly targeted in this mess, which is why I've taken this so personally.

However, their numbers have been drastically lowered, and it will take time to rebuild KhreRiovtRex: we must make sure that this sector is secure. However, when they were attacked, and proud to say able to hold the Othan off until they withdrew, they also had not known of the incoming attack until it was almost too late KhreRiovtRex: A few scouts and probes have shown us that the Othan knocked out several key communications relays, as well as enacted a scorched-earth policy, much as they had on the last planet we had just assisted.

KhreRiovtRex: Fhaen, I would like to know au thoughts and recommendations KhreRiovtRex: https://www.stsf.net/forums/topic/21962-map-of-the-rihannsu-star-empire/ KhreRiovtRex: (Talon forums link to starmap) NDak: ::Frowns more deeply, considering over his tea:: STSF Seiben: :pondering, as he studies the starmap:: KhreRiovtRex: :: sets down her ISD, and picks up her water again:: NDak: There is an argument for either. m_k_tksa: I'm na the tactical expert, so I'm afraid I can't give an opinion on how the Talon or Stinger should be used. ::setting her ISD down:: STSF Seiben: Indeed there is. There's merit in both options. NDak: Leaving the Talon, rhae the systems would certainly lower the chances of the Othan attacking the system. NDak: However, flying the flag with a powerful vessel under the command of the Khre'Riov would also send a powerful message, rhae the peoples of these systems who we will have to do some convincing that we are here to help them. Laehval tTemarr: While helpful, the Stinger's cloak will be useless if we come across the Othans. It is their ship and technology. Without significant modifications, they could surely track the ship the same way we tracked theirs. NDak: Perhaps au could assist my daise engineer in that. KhreRiovtRex: :: turns to look at tKsa:: Au may na be a tactical expert, but au are our medical expert, and I am relying on au thoughts on how best to help the inhabitants, if they were left in as bad of shape as that last planet. What impact that would have, both on a supply basis, as well as how much aid we would currently be able to lend them. Your opinion is much valued KhreRiovtRex: Both excellent thoughts Destorie and Laehval...... KhreRiovtRex: Pexil, perhaps au can offer NDak's engineers some assistance with a way to hide Stinger from the rest of their fleet Lerak trPexil: I can work on quieting the emissions. KhreRiovtRex: ::turns to tr'Aieme:: Depending on the conditions we find, we will rely upon au thoughts of how to reassure them that ch’Rihan Galae are na the enemy STSF Seiben: Masking our signature. m_k_tksa: tr'Aieme> ::nods:: KhreRiovtRex: ::nods to Koga:: Ie, that would be helpful as well, work with Pexil on that fhaen Laehval tTemarr: The unique metals in the hull are the biggest flaw. ::She said quietly to Lerak.:: We need to find a way to negate those readings, as well. STSF Seiben: Ie rekkhai Lerak trPexil: :: nods :: KhreRiovtRex: :: turns back to Laeh and NDak:: I would hear from both of au, how au each would proceed at this point NDak: ::he glanced to Laeh, deferring to her:: Laehval tTemarr: I would na leave the Talon behind, Rekkhai. Our repairs are minor now and can be done while we are underway. Lerak trPexil: :: pulling up the Stinger specs :: KhreRiovtRex: ::sets glass down and nods to Laehval:: NDak? Au thoughts? Laehval tTemarr: Lack of supplies hinder us. If we scout the area, we may find others that are desperately needed, both here and on the station. NDak: ::Nods:: I agree. We should send a clear message to any Othan veruul left behind, as well as to the people of this quadrant. The Galae remains strong. KhreRiovtRex: The rest of au? Au thoughts? Do au agree? Lerak trPexil: Sounds valid. We need to make sure the Stinger is also armed as well as she can be. STSF Seiben: I agree. KhreRiovtRex: It is also possible that we may run into the rest of the Othan fleet that had been in retreat, as we knew they swung a wide berth around this station trying to get away from us. I fear I may also be leading au into more yy'a and destruction. As I said back on ch'Rihan, I will na hold it against any of the crew...or it's senioir officers, if au feel au do na agree, and would rather stay fahd at the sta KhreRiovtRex: station, I will na stop any one. m_k_tksa: Do we know the size of the remaining Othan fleet/ KhreRiovtRex: We do na, though we did destroy a rather large number in the battle in our homeworld space KhreRiovtRex: We are hoping that we may find a few of the relays up, but unable to send a signal, that may help us get a read on fleet size KhreRiovtRex: NDak, do au need any replacement crew for Stinger, or wish any of our senior staff join au? Lerak trPexil: I will make sure we have enough replacement relays ready to go on the Talon if need be. KhreRiovtRex: Very well, we will take both Talon and Stinger. Laeh and NDak, I'll leave it to the two of au to decide if we go to Ustallan or Quatel first KhreRiovtRex: I do na think it wise that we split up STSF Seiben: ::nods:: m_k_tksa: ::collects her ISD's:: KhreRiovtRex: Koga, start making preparations to depart and get the clearances from the station. Once tTemarr notifies au of our coordinates, relay to Stinger, set course, and get underway. STSF Seiben: Ie, will do KhreRiovtRex: If nobody else has anything, I'll leave NDak and Laeh to work on our plans. The rest of au are dismissed. Laehval tTemarr: ::She nodded.:: KhreRiovtRex: t'Ksa.....if au would fhaen, I would like a few siuren of au time, let us withdraw to my chambers so we do na disturb Laeh and Destorie m_k_tksa: ::nods, tucking the ISD's under her arm:: KhreRiovtRex: PAUSE SIM KhreRiovtRex: PAUSE SIM KhreRiovtRex: PAUSE SIM KhreRiovtRex: Nice sim folks, I think I'll serve ale next time, to loosen au tongues and get some of you talking! lol KhreRiovtRex: Laeh, do you have anything before we dismiss? Laehval tTemarr: Isn't Romulan Ale just blue vodka? STSF Seiben: lol KhreRiovtRex: Shhhh KhreRiovtRex: lol KhreRiovtRex: ok then... Crew Dismissed. Have a nice weekend m_k_tksa: Gnight guys Laehval tTemarr: Night, all. STSF Seiben: Night KhreRiovtRex: Night Lerak trPexil: See some of you Monday KhreRiovtRex: Yep!
  25. RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING - 5171005 - Season 22 When we had last left off, t'Vatrix had spoken to N'Dak about her plans to work in coordination with those overseeing control of the Justarus Shipyards, to make sure that we had a strong forward base that was held not only to repair and replace old ships with new, but to make sure it also did na fall into Othan hands. The base was well positioned between Othan space and ch’Rihan, so we quickly determined that this area must be fortified and we would would work outward from here to ensure we removed any nearby Othan strongholds or incursions. t'Vatrix has taken Koga and Pexil off to eat and discuss their department needs, while NDak had been discussing with tKsa our plans and trying to smooth things over between the Khre'Riov and Daise Maenak. Laehval had been off working on verifying some encryption code at the request of t'Vatrix (because it was the easiest thing we could ask Cardboard Laehval to do) Destorie N’Dak: (Jolan tru) KhreRiovtRex: (spy!) KhreRiovtRex: and JT tA tAehjae: JT tVatrix STSF Seiben: Jolan truu BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM BEGIN SIM Lerak trPexil: :: going to eat :: STSF Seiben: ::With Pexil and t'Vatrix:: KhreRiovtRex: @ :: At the restaurant :: (tA, you can be with us if you like) Lerak trPexil: It is a she STSF Seiben: @ Who's a she? KhreRiovtRex: @ :: looking at the selection and looks at Pexil:: what is? STSF Seiben: @ ::Looks at the menu as well:: KhreRiovtRex: (thwaps Seiben-- stop being a parrot!) Destorie N’Dak: ::Glances back to t'Ksa, half-expecting her to throw the tea cup at him after that last salvo:: tAehjae: :: walks into the restaurant a bit late, looks around spotting t’Vatrix and the others then moves towards them:: STSF Seiben: @(But he's hungry! Lol) tAehjae: @ KhreRiovtRex: @ :: sees t'A and motions for her to join them:: m_k_tksa: And did au give the same lecture to the Khre'Riov? ::dusting her hands off from the tea residue on them:: tAehjae: Jolan tru , my apologies for my tardiness. tAehjae: @::takes a seat at the table:: Destorie N’Dak: I have spoken to her about tempering her passion, ie. m_k_tksa: Sorry, pardon, that wasn't much of a lecture. More of a sales pitch ::can't hide the smirk:: STSF Seiben: @Jolan tru KhreRiovtRex: @ Figure out what all you are eating and let's get the order in. We have much to discuss, and I want to make sure we cover everything necessary STSF Seiben: @ ::nods and makes his selection:: m_k_tksa: Hmmm...and how long do au expect her temperance to last? KhreRiovtRex: @ :: waves the girl over and makes her selections, and motions for her to take the rest of the group's order:: Destorie N’Dak: I do na know, to be honest. She has a considerable amount of ... things on her plate. Between the disappearance of her bondmate, the death of her child, and h'nah her niece in stasis. ::Shakes his head:: Erich Jaenke: :: looks at the menu :: KhreRiovtRex: @:: waits for the girl to finish taking the order and head off before turning to the others:: tAehjae: @:: gives her order:: STSF Seiben: @ ::orders as well:: Destorie N’Dak: As I said, au have known her longer than any of us. The crew and the empire both need her in a less... volatile state. I cannot be there at all times, especially as we plan to use the Stinger as an outrider. I do na know how much she is willing to confide her worries to Laehval, given their history -- but if there is anyio else on this ship, au know it to be au. m_k_tksa: And does that give those of us who've lost our own loved ones permission to act in such a manner? ::raises a brow:: Laehval tTemarr: ::Laehval entered medical, rapping an ISD on her thigh, a deep frown upon her face. Her eyes flitted over the medical staff in search of Ksa.:: KhreRiovtRex: @ Vriha menkha, I wish au to qiuu update me rhae the status of au departments and how the ship has been prepared for our upcoming mission. Have out been able to secure replacement ordinance and equipment? m_k_tksa: Maenak trPaine> ::swaying for the music pipped into the room, which is a first but enjoying the fact that the Daise'Maenak didn't chew them out for having it on so....:: STSF Seiben: @Ie, I have spoken with the station's quartermaster and arranged for restocking of supplies and weapons m_k_tksa: Ie I do know her well enough. ::taps her chin:: Perhaps I can place a bet with the Kheinsa.... Destorie N’Dak: ::He had decided na to tell t'Ksa the information t'Vatrix had given him about tr'Vatrix's message. For starters that was na his secret to tell, and secondly he did na know if that would only further complicate the matter.:: KhreRiovtRex: @ Have they given au a time frame when this might be completed? Destorie N’Dak: ::Of course t'Vatrix also hadn't widely shared that t'Shaeni had been killed in stasis either, but details.:: Destorie N’Dak: ::Nods, catching Laehval out of the corner of his eye and wondering if she'd heard his comment about her:: Ah, there is Laehval. KhreRiovtRex: (I did tell her on the phone a few weeks ago, she got a giggle out of the fact she was still here at all...lol) m_k_tksa: If au are asking me to seek her out, the answer is na. I do na care to continue to be branded a traitor or find myself shifted out an airlock during one of her whims. But I will promise to hear her out if she ever approaches me. STSF Seiben: @ Ie, I was told a few hours. Lerak trPexil: (about ready to give up) m_k_tksa: ::crossing her fingers behind her back, hoping that Laevhal and N'Dak aren't trying to tag team her now, because if that's the case, she's going to have to get out the rusty needles:: KhreRiovtRex: Menkha, and what about au t'Aehjae, did au have any trouble transferring custody of the Governor over to the Justarus Dhenos? Laehval tTemarr: ::Though she did raise an eyebrow at the music piped through the speakers in the medbay and the swaying medical staff, Laehval swept through to Ksa's office. She rang the door chimes, waiting impatiently, ISD still rapping against her thigh.:: tAehjae: Na its went smoothly. He is now safely in their hands KhreRiovtRex: Alive or wishing he weren't? tAehjae: @Safely and securely... wishing he weren’t of course Destorie N’Dak: ::Glances to t'Ksa:: m_k_tksa: Enter! KhreRiovtRex: And what about au Pexil? What of the work au were doing? Were au able to gain updated star maps from the station ops? KhreRiovtRex: @ We will need good intel on just where the line is drawn as what is 'our' space.....and where they deem is their space.... Lerak trPexil: :: nods :: I broke in and stole them.. Laehval tTemarr: ::Moving inside, she stopped short, seeing N'Dak was also there.:: Well, I suppose this is appropriate... ::She lifted the ISD in her hand.:: I just finished decryption on the message that t'Vatrix received and it is legitimate. Her bondmate is alive, though there is no word on her child. Destorie N’Dak: ::Well that took care of that:: Possibly alive. Destorie N’Dak: Or at least when the message was sent. KhreRiovtRex: @ It will be critical to have this information, as well as any worlds that may have been compromised that we will either need to repatriate, or that we may need to avoid for the time being Lerak trPexil: :: smiles :: I was able to barter for access.. KhreRiovtRex: (so much for that secret!) Laehval tTemarr: t'Ksa, I was hoping that au could speak to the Kheinsa. t'Vatrix needs... ah... professional help. m_k_tksa: ::blinks:: Wait. What? Lerak trPexil: And...:: Slips an ISD over :: A merchant passing through the sector had scans of their own :: Lerak trPexil: Along shipping lanes, but valuable all the same. KhreRiovtRex: @ :: looks at Pexil's ISD:: And ....how ... reliable would this merchant be? Did au vet him with tA? STSF Seiben: ::Listens:: tAehjae: @::looks to Pexil:: Destorie N’Dak: Before we departed for this syetem, the Khre'Riov received an message encoded with a cipher known only to her and tr'Vatrix indicating he had survived the destruction of his vessel and that he was, for the moment alive. Laehval tTemarr: Au, as the Daise'Maenak, have the right to know what her state of mind is at this moment. I would say that with the delivery of this message, it is considerably better than before. She seems to be listening to reason and is na so eager to throw herself into battle for the sake of revenge. Lerak trPexil: Reliability of the data is too be seen, and will be marked as such. Destorie N’Dak: ::Glances to Laehval:: The Khre'Riov had asked us to keep that information secret. Lerak trPexil: There was no time for vetting, nor was anything illicit contained in the maps KhreRiovtRex: @ I suppose that is what it is then...... we'll have to take it with a modicum of caution. m_k_tksa: ::swivels her head between N'Dak and Laehval:: So that's what's causing her "temperance movement" as you told me, is it? Laehval tTemarr: Ie, and I am certain that it will go na further than this room, save for the Kheinsa. They both have the right to know. We need their assistance. Lerak trPexil: @:: eating fruit,just as Laehval would have liked :: KhreRiovtRex: @ t'Aehjae, we may have to take on some new crew here at the shipyards. Most will have been vetted by Khre'Riov tr'Dar who oversees this station, however, I will expect that au and au staff double check each io ...I can na chance another mutany. Not at this time, it is critical that we protect this station and region of space at all costs Lerak trPexil: @:: bit into a tart fruit, winced :: tAehjae: @IE Rekkhai KhreRiovtRex: @ I'm counting on the three of au extensively here as department heads. Make sure au follow through with tTemarr on everything and make sure to update tKsa on anything that au feel might involve her department as well Destorie N’Dak: But I would caution against any optimism that he is still yet alive. m_k_tksa: I'll certainly consult with the Kheinsa about the situation. But there's only so much he can do. She has to want help for him to be able to help her. Her history says otherwise. m_k_tksa: ::and that brings t'Ksa back to her feelings that she's only there to keep everyone io else alive while the Khre'Riov goes on her suicide missions:: Destorie N’Dak: For h'nah the situation is stable and she has been far more open with me than I would have expected, given our history together. Laehval tTemarr: I think this has changed things for the better. ::She waved the ISD.:: However, if it does na, and she seems to be putting this ship and her crew in danger, I will need the support of both of au to do what must be done. Destorie N’Dak: ::He glanced to Laehval:: Each of us owe her, whether we want to admit it or not. I think we should try to help her through this as much as we can without endangering the crew, ship or Empire. tAehjae: @:: nods as she replaces her drink on the table:: Lerak trPexil:@:: Who guards the guards... interesting KhreRiovtRex: @ :: sees the rest of the food arriving:: Menkha.....I'm starving Lerak trPexil: Ie.. KhreRiovtRex: @ While we are fahd. I want to hear any concerns the 3 of au have. Regarding the ship, our current mission, or...even myself m_k_tksa: ::folds her arms, starting to look obstinate again:: KhreRiovtRex: @ Do na worry, I'll only shove au out an airlock if I don't like au authen.... :: grins at them all:: KhreRiovtRex: @ I"m kidding......just kidding..... Eat up, and let's here each of au thoughts. Laehval tTemarr: ::She looked pointedly at t'Ksa.:: And au, Daise'Maenak? STSF Seiben: @ ::receives his food:: tAehjae: @ I for oi am glad to have au back. I missed na having au on the ship tAehjae: @ :: takes a bite of her sandwich:: STSF Seiben: @ As am I. I'm looking forward to the mission and hope we can exact some revenge on them Lerak trPexil: :: @::eats : STSF Seiben: @::takes a bite of his food:: m_k_tksa: I will na allow her to endanger the crew. I'm sorry, the needs of the io do na outweigh the needs of the many. Destorie N’Dak: Fine, but au owe her at least the opportunity to work through this. m_k_tksa: If she shows any mental instability that will endanger the crew, the mission or others....na question. And she needs to want to work on it, as I told au. Destorie N’Dak: ::He glanced towards Laehval again.:: KhreRiovtRex: @Well? tAehjae: :::: @ mouth full of food ... looks to Koga KhreRiovtRex: :: @::disappointed, as she's given them the chance to speak their minds, away from the ship, and none have taken the opportunity:: STSF Seiben: @ As am I. I'm looking forward to the mission and hope we can exact some revenge on them KhreRiovtRex: @ :: well, she tried:: Laehval tTemarr: Ie, I agree. ::Nodding as she considered.:: Destorie N’Dak: ::He frowned:: Laehval tTemarr: I will give her the news of this message soon and suggest that she speak with the Kheinsa. Destorie N’Dak: Very well. I do na if she will be excited at such a prospect, as I said, I think she might be more willing to speak to t'Ksa first but if t'Ksa does not have the fortitude for that, then so be it. Destorie N’Dak: ::He waved a hand:: m_k_tksa: What exactly do au think I should be talking with her about, N'Dak? m_k_tksa: As I said, I'm an going to seek her out, but I would na shut her out. Her mercurial nature does na allow io to approach her and say "Hey, I hear au were having some problems." ::shakes her head:: tAehjae: @:: swallows her food:: I am still leary of NDak but I think is will always have that distrust of him. Although I will continue to work along side up him, I will na cause any trouble or start anything with him to dishonor him in the faces of the crew KhreRiovtRex: @ N'Dak has pledged his service to me, and I for one take him at his word on this matter. I know au both have had issues with one another in the past, but he is an Enarrain, leads the Stinger and is io of my trusted advisors. I ask that au give him a second chance, as I have. I have seen only good come from it. STSF Seiben: @ I’m sure it'll be good with him tAehjae: @I will follow his orders with the exception of putting au in harm’s way. I will na do that. I will protect au to the end of my life if I have to. He is the Enarrain I know this and is the reason I have followed his orders thus far. KhreRiovtRex: @Hann'yyo for au loyalty as well. We most likely should head back to the ship. They will begin to worry if we are gone too long. I do hope you all enjoyed the meal. The owner of this pub, is an old family friend. Destorie N’Dak: As au have said, many things have changed. Perhaps she would. I would na have imagined her to be as vulnerable as i witnessed her on the home world, but it happened. Destorie N’Dak: ::He paused, biting at his lip. It occurred to him he had na shared with either of them the scene, rhae the Khre'Riovs household:: m_k_tksa: ::gives him another "What-the-what?" look:, then rubs her temples:: Destorie N’Dak: ::He sighed:: I just wonder if she'd be more open to talking to the Kheinsa if it came from someone who has always been the closer of the three of us to her. Destorie N’Dak: ::Waves it off:: But I cannot make that decision for au. Laehval tTemarr: Na, so best to stop speculating. We shall see what she will do with this information. m_k_tksa: Just make sure au put any sharp objects and firearms away before au talk with her. KhreRiovtRex: pause sim KhreRiovtRex: pause sim KhreRiovtRex: pause sim STSF Seiben: ::Paused:: tAehjae: ::paused:: KhreRiovtRex: Thanks everyone for going over a little. The other group was having such great discourse I didnt' want to break it up! STSF Seiben: KhreRiovtRex: Night tKsa!! knowyou have to go!

KhreRiovtRex: tA, it was great to have you back with us, we'll get you caught up on the story and the logs are up if you wanna peak at them. KhreRiovtRex: Good to have you back as well Laehval, poor NDak's had to sit and talk to me all by his lonesome the last few weeks! Laehval tTemarr: I don't know how he survived. Laehval tTemarr: Poor thing. KhreRiovtRex: I know, right!? But we're glad you had a chance to get away and relax as well KhreRiovtRex: Ok, anyone have any comments, questions or anything they want to say before we close out this evening? : Ok, then Crew Dismissed!
