Qob: Tranquility 2/20/11

[Joe Manning 0]

Joe Manning -> It turns out that Xorax is not a planet, but the moon of a gas giant. So you can picture that

Joe Manning -> Qob has just pulled out of warp and taken up synchronous orbit over the colony

Joe Manning -> We have to prepare to transport down to the colony's visitors' center. Decide whether you're coming with me or staying on the ship

Joe Manning -> BEGIN SIM

Pher -> :: Getting dressed ::

Joe Manning -> ::Sitting in the command chair looking at the icy moon through the front viewer::

STSF_Nickles -> :: awakens from the sedative and treatments frok Kaara::

William Chocox -> ::sitting in Engineering reading something on his PADD::

Joe Manning -> ::Gets the orbit confirmation from Sal and taps his ODRI:: +Com+ We're here, kids. Whoever's heading down to the planet with me, wait for me outside the door to the bridge.

Troy Parson -> ::running various scans on the moon, more out of curiousity than anything else::

Kaara Soora -> ::looks up from chair in corner of Chris's room::

Mitar Precip -> ::In cargo bay currently not wearing a shirt, he secures the tarp to the hovercycle pile, not liking what he must report::

STSF_Nickles -> :: starts to sit up::

Joe Manning -> ::Taps at his ODRI some more, reviewing the contact information he received ahead of time::

Kaara Soora -> ::Chris:: Food on your night table. Eat. Drink.

Pher -> :: Runs diagnostics on ODRI, tests out her stick and stunner, stretches out a bit. ::

STSF_Nickles -> ::not realising Kaara is there, Swings his feet over the edge of the bed holding his head a moment, then jumps hearing her voice:: HOLY!! How did you get in here??

Pher -> :: Checks her outfit... Attractive but not overly racy. ::

Mitar Precip -> ::walks over to walll COMM::

William Chocox -> ::sets down the PADD and starts walking towards the bridge.

William Chocox -> ::

Kaara Soora -> ::Raises eyebrow:: I've been here all night.

Mitar Precip -> +Pher+ Byblos in the Cargo deck. I regret to inform you I have another shopping list.

Pher -> :: starts towards the bridge, locking up her quarters. ::

STSF_Nickles -> Why? :: no memory of what happened::

Joe Manning -> ::Raises his eyebrow and glances around at Troy::

Kaara Soora -> You had a relapse. Withdrawals.

Pher -> (Ansering via Audry) +Byblos+ Can you forward it, or need you see me. Might best head towards the bridge. Captain is getting the landing party together.

Joe Manning -> I got ... ::Nods:: Yeah, I think I got that funny feeling again.

Mitar Precip -> ::swears in Nausicaan:: as he puts on his shirt..then his sword sheath....sword:: The only outfit he has.

Mitar Precip -> +Pher+ I shall be on the bridge immediately.

Troy Parson -> ::looks up from the scanner:: Which feeling was that, again? The one that indicates that things are about to start going very much not as planned?

STSF_Nickles -> I'm feeling the NEED to see Pher

Joe Manning -> ::Turns his ODRI's display off and stands up::

Pher -> +Byblos+ Or just outside it. Traditional spot for, how do they say it? Beaming?

Kaara Soora -> Well, they're about to go down to the colony.

Joe Manning -> No, not that one. That one feels like skin crawling ... goose bumps, that sort of thing. This was more of the 'someone walked on my grave' feeling. Like things -just- went not as planned; I just don't know about it yet.

Mitar Precip -> ::grabs "Stunner" Pher aquired for him and takes off for the bridge not smelling to good::

Joe Manning -> Maybe I'll skip the skiing.

STSF_Nickles -> They'er??

STSF_Nickles -> **Their

Kaara Soora -> Yessir.

STSF_Nickles -> Who's is going?

William Chocox -> ::makes a detour to his quarters to grab his stun phaser and continues to the bridge::

Troy Parson -> Ah, I see. That feeling.

Mitar Precip -> +Pher+ I thought this vessel had no TR...is this Some operator on Xorax beaming us up? ::said walking down the "neck" of Qob toward the bridge.

Kaara Soora -> I assume the Captain, the Orion, that new guy, and the other one.

STSF_Nickles -> :: stands and makes his way to his dresser to get his Com::

Troy Parson -> Well, if it'll help take your mind off of things, here's something else to think about:

William Chocox -> ::after his detour stops just outside the bridge::

Mitar Precip -> Byblos arrives at Pher's location thankful Klingons built their vessels for the odd tall Klingon warrior::

Kaara Soora -> ::stands:: What are you doing?

Troy Parson -> Normally, with a transporter, you step in, it beams you, you step out, no harm done, right?

Pher -> :: Smiles at Byblos :: What's with the new list?

STSF_Nickles -> Going to find out whats going on, Why?

Joe Manning -> I've heard of exceptions ... but I try not to think of those.

STSF_Nickles -> I should be there with Joe

Kaara Soora -> I'll go with you guys then.

Troy Parson -> Okay, so now think about this:

Joe Manning -> << Field team can go ahead and start using @'s, so we know who's gathering at the bridge entrance >>

STSF_Nickles -> +Joe+ Nickles to Manning

Troy Parson -> What if we came up with a new transporter technology which could read off your "pattern" and send it as energy without dematerializing the original?

Mitar Precip -> @::hands list to Pher written on ...a piece of scrap metal:: Parts required to make the Hovercycle very useful for the crew. unfortunately..as you know I have no funds.

Troy Parson -> So you'd step into the transporter, and you'd rematerialize at the destination, without ever dematerializing...then wouldn't the one still standing on the origin platform be you?

William Chocox -> @::standing and waiting til the crew leaves::

Joe Manning -> ::Blinks:: But ... the pattern is just data, in't it? Information in a computer.

Pher -> @ :: Nods :: I'm intending to talk to the captain on that. Might get it done. I suspect there will be other priorities.

Joe Manning -> ::Starts toward the bridge entrance::

Troy Parson -> Exactly. So what makes you think that the physical thing that emerges from the transporter will really be *you*, and not just an exact recreation?

STSF_Nickles -> +Joe Manning+ Nickles to Joe, Whats Going on Boss.

Mitar Precip -> @::nods:: Understood. Shall I play big and fearsome given the Cyborg is still at odds with the ship's condition?

Joe Manning -> ::Taps his ODRI:: +Nickles+ Headed down to Xorax, Chris.

Pher -> @ You feel ready to play escort?

Joe Manning -> ::Shrugs at Troy:: Whatever it would be, the Federation would hunt us down for trying it, I'm sure. You want to ask the Xorax people about it?

Mitar Precip -> @Who is playing the VIP..I would need to defend him/her first.

STSF_Nickles -> +Joe+ I'l meet you at the TraIs Pher going to be there?nsporter room.

Troy Parson -> Your transporter-created duplicate can ask them. I'd rather survive, thanks.

STSF_Nickles -> +Joe+ I'l meet you at the Transporter room. Is Pher going to be there?

Pher -> @ Captain would be prime target. I think I'd want to ride near him or play point. I'd want someone checking six.

Joe Manning -> << That was quite a typo, Nickles >>

Mitar Precip -> @::looks at Pher's outfit:: Nice choice. Aye I'll take six.

Kaara Soora -> <<laptop?>>

STSF_Nickles -> <<darn touchy mouse padd>>

Joe Manning -> @::Joins the others at the door and looks over the group::

STSF_Nickles -> <<yep>>

Pher -> @ Good nuff. We're avoiding trouble, not looking for it. Let me know if you spot it.

Mitar Precip -> @::looks at the Captain:: Sorry no time to shower.

William Chocox -> @::sees the captain:: Hello Captain.

Kaara Soora -> ::Goes to door, looks back at Chris, glad to have gone and refilled the hypos::

Joe Manning -> @::Blinks at Byblos:: You mean you don't always smell that way?

STSF_Nickles -> ::getting dressed not careing about the DOc being there figures shes seen it all anyway::

Kaara Soora -> ::looks away quickly::

Joe Manning -> @William, interested in the advanced engineering that the Xorax boys cook up, are you?

Mitar Precip -> @::replies with a grunt and readies for transport::

Pher -> @ If the party splits, I'll likely have you go with the group that doesn't include the captain.

STSF_Nickles -> Lets go Doc

Mitar Precip -> @By your command.

William Chocox -> @A little bit. Also want to see what could be available in the way of tools.

Kaara Soora -> Aye. ::opens door and walks quickly::

STSF_Nickles -> :: moves towards the Door::

Joe Manning -> @::Pher:: Don't think there'll be any reason to split up. I might pull the plug on the whole skiing thing. Don't know. Got one of my bad feelings.

Pher -> @ :: A small courtsy. ::

STSF_Nickles -> : enters the TL:: Transporter room!

Pher -> @ :: Looks to the captain. :: Noted. I'll work towards the front. I have Byblos checking six.

Troy Parson -> <<Is the ship big enough to have a turbolift?>>

Joe Manning -> @::Nods:: Should be okay leaving behind minimal security, since we aren't landing.

Joe Manning -> << Ladders only, Chris :P >>

Pher -> (( And hasn't the transporter room been converted into the science lab? ))

Troy Parson -> ::calls over from the science station:: Don't worry, I'll keep the ship warm for when your duplicate's duplicate gets here!

Mitar Precip -> @ Hah..minimal security...that beast you have in engineering would wipe the floor with any Guardian or rabid law enforcement official that comes aboard.

Joe Manning -> << It's been converted into Troy's dangerous chemical storehouse >>

Joe Manning -> << Er, lab >>

Troy Parson -> <<Lab, and dangerous chemical storehouse>>

STSF_Nickles -> :: climbs the last rung and makes way to the Transporter room to meet the captain hopeing Pher is there too::

Ethan Neufeld -> <<He *is* delirious. ::shrugs::>>

Troy Parson -> <<And radioactive materials repository.>>

William Chocox -> <<Even if we had a Turbolift, would it work?>>

Pher -> << So long as none of the dangerous chemicals leak and ruin the flowers! >>

Kaara Soora -> ::A step behind Chris, frowning slightly::

Joe Manning -> << We're at the entrance to the bridge, Chris, but as long as we're together, we're good >>

Joe Manning -> << Across the two decks they just traversed? I would hope so ... >>

Mitar Precip -> @Byblos thinks ::he is in a foul mood...he would disembowl an intruder with that arm of his::

STSF_Nickles -> <<OK Make way to the Captain :D >>

Joe Manning -> @::Nods to Nickles:: Alright is this everyone? It's almost everyone on the ship ...

Joe Manning -> @Hope Shane doesn't give Troy too much trouble.

Pher -> @ :: Counts people. Hopes to match what goes down with what comes back up. ::

STSF_Nickles -> @:: steps over to Pher: A bit of Dust love? to ward off anything happeneing??

Mitar Precip -> @ ::To Pher quietly::He is not angry with the Captain is he..We don't want our vessel to suddenly leave orbit.

Joe Manning -> @::Taps his ODRI, taking control of the ship's comm:: +Com+ Xorax colony, this is Qob. I have a team of ... ::Counts heads:: Seven awaiting transport near the source of this signal.

Pher -> @ Hope not. (To Byblos)

Mitar Precip -> @Byblos ::grunts::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: A very rapid transport beam engulfs the members of the team and shoots them down to the planet

Pher -> @ :: Smile to Chris :: Need to get on our own, just a bit, or I'd have the captain dusted too. Look for the chance.

Kaara Soora -> @ ::checks her phaser::

Troy Parson -> ::mock goodbye salute as they beam out::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: They just as quickly materialize in a small transporter room under the planet's surface

Pher -> @ :: Braces herself against the gravity. ::

Robert Long -> @::looks around in the Transporter room on the surface::

Pher -> @ :: Experiments a bit with shifting weight, getting a feel for the balance. ::

Robert Long -> **under, even.

Joe Manning -> @::Quickly gets himself acclimated to the heavier gravity. Experience helps. Though his aging bones do not::

STSF_Nickles -> @:: Knees give a bit with the gravity levels:: whoa

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::approaches the rematerialized Qob crew and salutes:: Live long and prosper. Welcome to Xorax.

Robert Long -> @::adjusts himself to the greater gravity::

Joe Manning -> @::Does another quick head count and realizes that seven became eight. Blinks::

William Chocox -> @::rough adjusment to the change in gravity but recovers::

Mitar Precip -> @Byblos>Woah haven't been on a transporter in years...and hello gravity.

Joe Manning -> @::Looks at the Vulcan gentleman who just stepped forward to greet them::

Pher -> @ :: Checks to see if they have a security team or customs set up. ::

STSF_Nickles -> @::Looks up seeing Ethan:: Hello

Joe Manning -> @Doctor Phantos I presume?

Robert Long -> @::looks up to the Vulcan::

Kaara Soora -> @ ::moves around a bit::

William Chocox -> <<I didn't trip, there was a sudden burst of Gravity.>>

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::Vulcanly apologetic:: I am Selek, Dr. Phantos's security advisor. Dr. Phantos is indisposed.

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: There is one lone transport operator. A long corridor extends out of the transporter room

Mitar Precip -> @Byblos::Just looks over everyone's heads::

Kaara Soora -> @::eyes catch the Vulcan's, seeing if she recognised him::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ You are Captain Manning?

Joe Manning -> @Indisposed? We're here to discuss terms of the Zoalus expedition job. Name's Joe Manning. ::Extends a hand::

Pher -> @ :: Looks up at the Vulcan. Manages to keep a straight face. ::

STSF_Nickles -> @:: nudges Pher and nods to a pit secluded corner::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: Two more transport beams shoot up to Qob's engine room from another part of the facility

STSF_Nickles -> *bit of

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::blankly looks at Joe's hand; then stiffly grasps it:: Yes. I am to "show you around."

Mitar Precip -> @::Quietly maps out the transporter room desk ....corridor..lousy egress situation in a firefight::

Pher -> @ :: Wanders off a bit with Chris. :: You are the impatient one, are you?

Mitar Precip -> (in his head)

Troy Parson -> ::notices a blip on the sensors, and heads for the engine room::

Joe Manning -> @::Forces Selek's hand up and down and tries to smile:: And do you have any idea how long it will be before we can meet with Doctor Phantos?

Pher -> @ :: Whispers a bit to Audrey, something about a bio scan of Selek. ::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::briefly eyes Chris and Pher:: Dr. Phantos indicated that he will be free to meet with you in two hours. ::gestures toward corridor:: If you would follow me?

Mitar Precip -> @::Thinks:: Something stinks and it isn't his body

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::nods to Kaara:: She said I had a relapse Im craving.... She said she treated me but Im still in need.

William Chocox -> @::is looking around wondering how deep they are::

Joe Manning -> @Lead the way, Selek. ::Motions ahead::

Joe Manning -> ACTION: Two figures are looking over equipment in the engine room. Little guys. Identical twins. Bynar appearing

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::stiffly nods and leads down the corridor::

Pher -> @ :: Looks to the doctor. ::

Kaara Soora -> @ ::heads down the corridor with the group::

Robert Long -> @::follows down the corridor next to Kaara::

Joe Manning -> @::Lags behind so he can stay at the back of the group::

Pher -> @ :: Lingers behind briefly, thinking naughty thoughts, and saying close to Chris ::

Troy Parson -> ::standing in the door of the engine room, watching the Bynar-looking folks look at the equipment, but not interrupting them yet::

William Chocox -> @::brings up the rear following the group::

STSF_Nickles -> @:: takes a breath.. then a bit of a deeper one ::

Joe Manning -> Bynar> ::Blinks at a toolbox that was left on the floor by Shane. Reaches in and extracts a conventional cutting torch::

Mitar Precip -> @::takes the last position of the group :: I have my orders. ::to William Chocox:: Sitll fighting gravity.

Pher -> @ (whispers) OK. Hope just to take the edge off. Have to lead if no one else is.

Joe Manning -> Other Bynar> ::Takes it upon himself to start tapping the controls of one of the computer terminals::

Troy Parson -> ::takes out a cigarette, and looks at it for a second, not igniting it::

Pher -> @ :: Starts moving, moving up to the forward position, trying not to be too conspicuous about it. ::

STSF_Nickles -> @:: Takes a good deep breath:: Thanks Doll ::grinning Thanks a lot

Joe Manning -> Bynar> ::Activates the torch and flinches at the jet of flame::

William Chocox -> @Byblos:: Gotcha. ::moves in front of the Naussiccan::

Joe Manning -> Other Bynar> ::Spins around and tilts his head at the torch::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::leads the group in silence through two lengthy corridors; exits ahead of the group in a large cavern several stories tall - it's filled with shops and eateries, and noisy:: This is our visitor's center.

Pher -> @ Welcome! Just a down payment! :: Moves with a bit of extra hip action. ::

STSF_Nickles -> @:: stays near the end of the group, feeling REALLY good now::

Troy Parson -> ::looks at the Bynar with the torch, and calls out from the doorway:: Hey, you mind giving a fellow a light? ::holds up the cigarette::

Joe Manning -> @::Rubs his chin as he looks around the cavern complex::

Joe Manning -> Bynars> ::Spin around to look at Troy::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ If there is anything which you desire or need during your stay, or, perhaps, supplies for your ship, you will likely find it here.

Robert Long -> @::looks around at the cavern::

Joe Manning -> Bynar 1> We do not possess a lighting device.

Joe Manning -> Bynar 2> Do you not have one available here?

Pher -> @ :: Tries not to think of Chris... Though vulcans, females and Byblos will be immune. Trys to stay clear of Joe. ::

Troy Parson -> ::looks at the torch that the Bynar is holding:: I'm afraid I misplaced mine...just done the laundry, see. But what you've got would do the trick, wouldn't it?

Joe Manning -> Bynars> ::Both look at the torch::

Pher -> @ :: To Ethan :: I have a few items we're looking for, but let's talk the overall plan first.

Kaara Soora -> @ ::Selek:: Do you have medical supplies?

Joe Manning -> Bynar 2> I do not believe this would produce a sufficient level of lighting for basic needs

Joe Manning -> Bynar 1> But if you wish. ::Steps toward Troy and holds out the torch, activates it::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::nods to Pher; and then turns to Soora:: Indeed.

Mitar Precip -> @::walks backwards gathering the enviornment in his mind::

Kaara Soora -> @ ::Nods:: Good; we are in dire need.

Troy Parson -> ::ignites the end of his cigarette on the torch:: Cheers, mate. ::takes a drag::

Joe Manning -> @::Looks over at Byblos and William:: We're probably a few hundred feet under the surface down here.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::allows the group a moment more to view the cavern and then stiffly turns - acting a bit more stiff than before:: This way, please. ::gestures toward another corridor entrance::

Joe Manning -> Bynars> ::Tilt their heads simultaneous at Troy lighting the cigarette::

STSF_Nickles -> @:: walking with the group ::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::enters the next set of corridors::

William Chocox -> @::continues walking with the group admiring the handiwork::

Pher -> @ :: Looking for anything that might be a threat. ::

Mitar Precip -> @::looks around..sniper heaven::

Joe Manning -> @::Looks ahead at Ethan:: Hopefully, you'll give us some time to browse the shops. We'd like to plan ahead for that big paycheck your boss is going to give us.

Joe Manning -> Bynar 1> You are one of the crew of the vessel Qob

Joe Manning -> Bynar 2> Are you not?

Pher -> @ ::: Decides not to offer Joe help in spending money. ::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::nods:: Of course. There will be plenty of time to "browse" and secure the supplies you find necessary.

Robert Long -> @::following with the group::

Troy Parson -> Suppose so. ::takes out his cigarette box and holds it out, open, with his free hand:: Care for a smoke?

Joe Manning -> Bynars> ::Each retrieve one of the cigarettes, out of politeness::

Kaara Soora -> @ ::nods, following next to Long::

Joe Manning -> Bynar 1> I am designated Zero One One.

Joe Manning -> Bynar 2> And I am designated One One One.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::leads the group two yet another corridor - this one is lined with windows and doors on one side at regular intervals, and behind each set of windows are various labs:: This is where we conduct various scientific studies and experiments.

Troy Parson -> Three and Seven, eh?

Joe Manning -> 011> ::Mimicking Troy, lights the end of his and 111's cigarette::

Mitar Precip -> (lol smoking bynars)

Joe Manning -> 111> Are you a computer programmer?

Troy Parson -> A scientist, actually. Tell me...if each of you has a name that's three numbers long, and each digit can be a one or a zero, what do you do when there's more than eight of you?

Joe Manning -> 011> There are never more than eight us required in any one place at any one time.

Mitar Precip -> @::looks for a "tail" despite the obvious fact they are being led::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ Our most sensitive scientific experiments are, of course, under tight security. ::lightly clears throat:: But you are free to peruse these labs as you desire.

Joe Manning -> @::Looks up at Selek:: What area of study is covered in this section?

Troy Parson -> I see. And your designation changes when you are re-tasked? ::takes a long drag on the cigarette, watching to see if the Bynars imitate the action::

Joe Manning -> 111> That is correct.

Pher -> <AFK a bit>

Joe Manning -> 011> The designation is a convenience for our Human, Vulcan, and variously-speciesed colleagues.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ These here focus on Botany, Ecology, and some Soology in general.

Ethan Neufeld -> Zoology^

Ethan Neufeld -> <<Heh, odd typo.>>

Joe Manning -> @::Looks into the labs:: Small. I've heard about the biodomes your bosses keep down here. Sure would love to have a look at one of those.

Kaara Soora -> ::brb::

Joe Manning -> @Bynars> ::Simultaneously follow Troy's lead, puffing on the cigarettes::

Troy Parson -> ::watching intently to see if they cough::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::nods:: Of course, please follow me. ::leading once again into new corridors::

Joe Manning -> @Bynars> ::Both begin coughing uncontrollably::

Joe Manning -> @You're going to show us one of them?

Joe Manning -> << Whoops, mixing up my tags >>

Pher -> <BAK>

Ethan Neufeld -> @ I have been given clearance to show you one; our least sensitive.

Mitar Precip -> @Pher..one thing..

Joe Manning -> 111> ::Looks intently at the cigarette:: This substance appears to be quite dangerous to members of our species.

Pher -> @ :: Looks to Byblos ::

Joe Manning -> 011> We must decline to continue engaging in this activity, though we do not mean to appear rude.

William Chocox -> @::amazed at how they can have engineered such labs underground::

Ethan Neufeld -> <<wb>>

Troy Parson -> ::shrugs:: You're probably better off for it.

STSF_Nickles -> << thanks what a boot had to restart PC>>

Joe Manning -> Bynars> ::Keep the lit cigarettes in their hands, of course::

Mitar Precip -> @Let us not rule out the possibility that we may be future lab rats..:::spoken hushly and while the Nausicaan is bending down to her level::

Troy Parson -> Icidentally...if you're designated based on your current task, and you are 011 and 111, then what are the others whose designations fall in between yours doing?

Mitar Precip -> @Byblos returns his gaze to a patrol pattern.

Joe Manning -> 111> We are not at liberty to say.

Kaara Soora -> <<back>>

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::leads them into a corridor housing an underground transport system:: ::gestures for the Qob crew to fill the empty car:: If you would please take your seats.

Joe Manning -> 011> The task to which we are assigned by the administrators are confidential.

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: stands next the Kaara grinning::

Joe Manning -> 111> It was curiosity that brought us here.

Pher -> @ (Whispers) Undiscounted.

Troy Parson -> I can relate to that. So, what in particular are you interested in?

Joe Manning -> @::Takes a seat at the back of the car:: Nifty

Pher -> @ :: Continues to move forward. ::

Kaara Soora -> @ ::sits down in a seat against the wall::

Joe Manning -> 011> ::Tilts his head at Troy:: Your recent encounters on the colony Tranquility

Robert Long -> @::takes a seat next to Kaara::

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::sits next to Kaara:

Pher -> @ :: Settles in ::

Joe Manning -> 111> Your operations involving the one called 'Minos'

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::takes a seat at the front and waits for all to be seated before selecting their destination on the console::

Mitar Precip -> @::takes the back seat and really has to scrunch to fit in::

Troy Parson -> Ah, that. Quite an unpleasant business, really.

William Chocox -> @::sits down::

Kaara Soora -> @ ::glances at Chris:: You alright?

Joe Manning -> 011> We were hoping that you would share some of the details

Joe Manning -> 111> Whilst giving us a tour of your ship. We do not want to be rude guests.

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::whispers: Insteresting place so far... Ya why would you ask that

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::counts those present in the car; gives the command for the car to go::

Kaara Soora -> @ ::whispers:: You didn't eat before we left.

Kaara Soora -> And you're grinning

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::smiles:: Im fine now.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::sits as car takes off - car travels at what appears to be 50kph:: ::subtly tugs at his collar::

Troy Parson -> ::grins:: Let me show you the science lab. It's not exactly state of the art, but I've managed to improvise a few pieces of equipment that you won't find anywhere else.

Joe Manning -> @::Quietly:: I'm thinking we need to shake this tour guide. No tour is a good tour if we can't do some lookin' around on our own.

Pher -> @ :: Strives not to think about chris ::

Kaara Soora -> @ I

Joe Manning -> 011> Please lead on.

Kaara Soora -> will believe you for now**

Joe Manning -> 111> We will follow.

Joe Manning -> 011> By what designation may we refer to you?

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::looks up as console beeps, indicating that they are approaching their destination::

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::looks foreward grinning:: Im fine

Kaara Soora -> @ ::Sighs softly and looks towards the front of the car to Selek::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::stands once car comes to a stop and turns; gestures toward the doors as they open::

Pher -> @ :: Decides to neither encourage or discourage the captain. ::

Joe Manning -> @::Looks over at Kaara:: I can't help but notice your interest in our tour leader, Doc

Kaara Soora -> @ ::to Joe:: It is rare I encounter another Vulcan, sir.

Troy Parson -> ::heading towards the science lab:: My customary designation in contexts similar to this one is "Dr. Parson".

Joe Manning -> @::Kaara:: Well, I have an idea ::Grins a bit::

Joe Manning -> 011> Doctor Parson

Joe Manning -> 111> Recorded.

Kaara Soora -> @ ::joe:: Will I learn to regret this idea?

Joe Manning -> 011> Thank you Doctor Parson. We look forward to seeing your science lab.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::exits stopped car; speaks in monotone, though it briefly seems to waver:: If you would follow me?

Pher -> @ :: Checks Audrey to see if the vulcan really is vulcan, or perhaps human? ::

Joe Manning -> @Naaah. ::Puts on an innocent look:: I was just thinking that you could keep the young man over there occupied ...

Mitar Precip -> @::Notes his "six" is now the car they are walking from::

Joe Manning -> @While I and some of my more wandersome crewmates head elsewhere.

Joe Manning -> @::Gets out of the car::

Troy Parson -> ::arrives at the improvised lab and opens the door:: Watch your step...I've had to make do with what I could get in terms of wiring, so there are a few data and power channels strung across the floor.

William Chocox -> @::steps out of the car::

Kaara Soora -> @ ::follows along with Joe:: You wish me to engross his in conversation?

Joe Manning -> 011> Eep! ::Drops the cigarette as it burns out completely::

Joe Manning -> 111> Ak! ::Drops his as well::

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: climbs out of the car::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::takes the lead again; the entrance to the biodome is ahead and clearly marked::

Troy Parson -> ::subconsciously put out his own cigarette a while ago:: Oh...are you all right?

Robert Long -> @::follows out of the car::

Joe Manning -> @Just give him something to pay attention to. So he doesn't have to worry about the rest of us.

Pher -> @ Byblos, move with the captain.

Pher -> @ :: Moves with the guide ::

Mitar Precip -> @Aye...::walks towards Joe::

Joe Manning -> 011> The strange device appears harmful to us in more ways than one.

Joe Manning -> 111> We are sorry for our outburst.

Joe Manning -> ACTION: A rapid transport beam shoots through the deck of the science lab, depositing a lone Bynar

STSF_Nickles -> @ walks behind the captain::

Troy Parson -> ::waves a hand dismissively:: Good smoking habits take a little while to develop for anyone.

Kaara Soora -> @ ::Gives the captain a dirty look:: Aye, sir. ::Starts to walk a little faster to catch up with Selek::

Troy Parson -> ::sees the new Bynar appear:: Oh, hello.

Ethan Neufeld -> <<Bynar... computer-based tribbles?>>

William Chocox -> <<A lone Bynar? Inconcivable!::
