William Chocox -> ::walks into the cargo bay::

Pher -> :: Falls in more or less with Sal. ::

Shane -> ::falls inline behind Soora::

STSF_Nickles -> :;looks around hearing russeling, walks towards it::

Joe Manning -> ::Turns and leaves the infirmary, then makes his way down to the cargo hold, pondering the state of his crew::

STSF_Nickles -> Hey Byblos.

Kaara Soora -> ::enters into the cargo bay, clicking off her PADD for now::

rosetto -> ::sees the good doctor coming down the gangway::Hello Doctor Soora...

Troy Parson -> ::walks into the cargo bay wearing the better part of a suit of platemail::

Byblos -> ::hammers away the dented water plate above the front wheel..wondering how this much damage could of happened. Next time he'll....:: Hey what is going on here?::stands moans a bit with tools in hand::

Kaara Soora -> ::jumps a little:: Oh hello there. How are you?

Byblos -> ::looks at Chris :: Crew meeting sir?

STSF_Nickles -> A meeting called by Joe. Humm I dont see him here yet.

rosetto -> Not bad, I suppose... you?

Kaara Soora -> Can't complain.

rosetto -> ::walks into cargo bay::

Joe Manning -> ::Grabs his chest and rubs it a bit, wishing for the feel of bourbon sliding against his throat::

STSF_Nickles -> ::turns seeing Kaara:: Hows Ethan doing?

Byblos -> ::Byblos returns the hammer to his tool kit, it being the most primitive tool supplied to him by Dr. Phantos::

Pher -> :: Has Audrey count life forms, hopefully coming up with the right number. ::

Shane -> ::takes a double take at Troy's suit:: What the jyke is that??

Kaara Soora -> ::Chris:: Stable for now. ::taps PADD meaningfully::

Troy Parson -> ::clanks slightly as he turns to Shane:: Protective gear, frontier style.

Pher -> :: Is tempted to repeat Shane's question. ::

Byblos -> ::Stands up turns around a bit dirty looking fron grease and spots Troy Parson :: What the?

Joe Manning -> ACTION: Audrey shows the proper number of crew + 1 -- a comatose person in the infirmary

STSF_Nickles -> Thats Good to hear.

rosetto -> Is he still in a coma?

Troy Parson -> ::takes out a cigarette, pushes it through one of the holes in his helmet, and lights it:: D'ya know how expensive proper HAZMAT gear gets out here?

STSF_Nickles -> If you need any help let me know

Kaara Soora -> Yes, but hopefully not for long.

Pher -> If you need anyone to test it, I wouldn't recommend Shane.

Kaara Soora -> ::nods at Chris::

Shane -> ::grunts:: No joke. My Klingon suit cost an arm...

William Chocox -> Seriously Troy?

Joe Manning -> ::Looking down at the deck ahead of him as he walks into the cargo hold::

Byblos -> Hah! Plundered Vestibul again Troy Parson.

rosetto -> ::looks at Kaara::Though it's not my fiel of expertise, I would like to get a look at that black goo you have there...

rosetto -> ^field

Kaara Soora -> ::Sal:: When I head back, you are welcome to join me, of course.

Joe Manning -> ::Glances up and notices that everyone is here. Immediately makes for a crate stacked near the hold's entrance and pops the lid off::

Byblos -> ::sort of blocks the dented hovercycle with his somewhat muscular figure, but more height than anything::

rosetto -> ::looks at the captain as he enters::

Shane -> ::turns as he hers Joe enter and pop the lid::

Shane -> hears*

Pher -> Medals and coins, I hope, Captain?

STSF_Nickles -> Hey theres Joe Now

Joe Manning -> ::Pulls out a dusty looking bottle and shakes it around::

William Chocox -> ::looks over at Joe::

STSF_Nickles -> Hey Cap

William Chocox -> Hey Joe.

rosetto -> Good Year Joe?

Byblos -> Boss. ::simple statement:::

Joe Manning -> ::Now that he's gotten everyone's attention the long way, strides slowly over to them while opening the bottle:: You're all here. And a fine coincidence that is. I was about to call a meeting. ::Grins::

Joe Manning -> In Louisiana, every year is a good year, Sal.

Pher -> :: shifts to be near Byblos and his bike. ::

STSF_Nickles -> ::winks to Pher::

Pher -> :: Smiles at Chris ::

Shane -> ::raise an eyebrow and settle on a metal crate near Byblos and Pher::

Kaara Soora -> ::Leans against some crates, eyes on Joe::

Joe Manning -> Now that the good Doctor Nick has seen fit to reunite us, it's time to reflect and look ahead, family style. ::Takes a sip of the bourbon right from the bottle::

Byblos -> ::surprised the Cyborg so passively took a seat next to him..maybe steam has been blown::

rosetto -> ::has a queer look on his face until he recalls that Louisianna was a place on Earth. He'd never been there::

Joe Manning -> ::Gives the bottle a pained look and shakes his head:: ... I know some of you are waitin' for answers from our guest. I'm sure you've heard the rumors by now ...

rosetto -> ::listens::

William Chocox -> ::continues listening::

Byblos -> ::crosses his arms into his more comfortable debrief pose::

Joe Manning -> Pher, you've taken the proper precautions, I assume? He won't be able to make contact with any associates of his when he wakes?

Troy Parson -> ::clanks a little as he changes position::

rosetto -> ::eyes the room looking at each member's stance::

Joe Manning -> ::Takes another sip, and looks quickly toward Byblos after drawing attention to Pher::

Pher -> Ethan? Well, I pulled his communicator, but other than that I've left him to the Doctor's fine care.

Kaara Soora -> ::glances at William, then Byblos, then back to Joe::

rosetto -> ::thinks about 'body language'::

Pher -> But Alex is in with him. If you want to isolate him, we've got to do more.

Pher -> Or was with him? I guess she didn't come here.

STSF_Nickles -> Isolate Ehan?

Joe Manning -> We'll get around to that. But we've got time. He's sleepin soundly until the good Doctor tell us otherwise.

Shane -> ::speaks out suddenly with his low growling voice:: Is it true about him being a Rainmaker?

Byblos -> The guy totally fooled me. First time I met him he looked scared, everything I am hearing now is the guy has more skills than he's letting on to.

Kaara Soora -> ::nods an affirmative:: You'll be the first to know when he wakes up.

Joe Manning -> ::Looks at Shane:: Could be. We're not sure if he is. Not sure if he ain't. Not sure what exactly was goin on down on that planet. I'm inclined to ask him about it, but we can't do that just yet.

Shane -> ::eyes narrow, but he remains silent::

Joe Manning -> ::Takes another sip, listening to Byblos without looking toward him::

rosetto -> I have always suspected something about him... just couldn't put a finger on it...

Pher -> I'm thinking he has reason to be scared. I think he might have been trying to play a solo game against the Rainmakers, but we don't know.

Byblos -> Jykin' Rainmaker? Your kiddin' me?

Joe Manning -> I know you have your issues with our friendly neighborhood cultists, Shane. And I'm sure they have their issues with you ... ::Glances around the group quickly, not focusing on anyone too long::

Pher -> I can say he wasn't getting along very well with the rest of em down below.

rosetto -> hmmm...

Byblos -> ::shuts up and listens::

Joe Manning -> ::Fixes his gaze finally on Pher:: And we don't know what to make of the rest of em, either. Again ... I'm hopin to get some satisfying answers from Ethan on that front.

rosetto -> ::looks at Pher momentarily::

Pher -> :: Nods in agreement ::

Joe Manning -> In the meantime, let's not any of us put too much stock in rumors and do anything hasty ...

Joe Manning -> Worst case scenario, he is a Rainmaker, and we use him as a bargaining chip.

rosetto -> And the Best Case?

Shane -> Or toss him out the airlock...

Joe Manning -> ::Glances at Sal:: I'm still thinkin' about that. Depends on what's the best he can give us.

STSF_Nickles -> I wont beleive it until I hear it from him.

Byblos -> Agreed. ::right after what Shane said::

Kaara Soora -> ::crosses her arms, staying silent::

Joe Manning -> Anyway, we've got to look ahead to our next stop now ...

rosetto -> I would feel better if we had more confirmation from another outside source... Who is he? You know?

Pher -> :: Wonders if wannabe heroes are better or worse than Rainmakers. Decides not to comment. ::

Joe Manning -> Our ship is pretty banged up, so it'll be a quick one. We've got to drop off Maxwell and his rogue agents. That means it's back to Xorax Colony

Byblos -> ::looks down on the worn deck plating waiting to hear this::

rosetto -> ::thinks about their present course and makes adjustments in his head::

Joe Manning -> Our ... associates on Capricorn uncovered some damning information about Xorax Colony. Information I managed to get ahold of. I'm still mulling over whether I should use that information against them ... or sit on it and maintain good vibes with the Colony.

Byblos -> ::looks to Shane a bit then ponders asking a question then looks to Pher and keeps his mouth shut::

Shane -> I'd be useful leverage to get a sure paycheck.

Joe Manning -> Good vibes probably means we don't get paid. And we don't get a potential means of helping the Capricorn folks.

Joe Manning -> ::Looks toward Shane and nods shortly, having figured that would have been his opinion::

rosetto -> ::to the captain::We should be there in a week, perhaps five days...

Shane -> It'd be*

STSF_Nickles -> ::standing listening::

Joe Manning -> ::Glances to a Sal:: A week. We're still not going to push it with our computer having problems ... just in case we need to make a sudden stop.

Pher -> :: Would like to ask how damning, but figues that wouldn't be overly sharable. ::

rosetto -> ::nods::Aye, sir...

Byblos -> ::looks to Pher:: (w)Order me to keep my mouth shut.

Kaara Soora -> ::glances at Byblos::

Joe Manning -> Well, in any event ... I want you all to put your rest period on hold for, say, an hour or two ...

Pher -> :: Smiles :: (w) Keep your mouth shut. :: Doesn't sound overly commanding. ::

rosetto -> ::sighs audibly::

Joe Manning -> I want summaries of this past mission from your perspective, as detailed and thorough as you can recall, with your thoughts on how everything unfolded. Consider this a chance to include your opinions on Xorax Colony and what kind of relationship we want to maintain with them.

Byblos -> ::turns a smile and listens to the Boss::

Joe Manning -> ::Points around at them:: This ain't a democracy! I'm the King Sombitch in charge. ::Shrugs a bit:: But when I'm undecided, I ain't afraid to ask for opinions.

Joe Manning -> Then you can get back to relaxin' until the next crisis.

Byblos -> ::looks at the Bourbon flask::

rosetto -> ::thin smile::

Joe Manning -> You can get out of here, now. ::Looks toward Nickles::

William Chocox -> The state this ship is in the next crisis might be in a couple minutes.

rosetto -> ::'if I ant your opinion I'll give it to you'::

Shane -> ::sighs, not thrilled at the prospect of paperwork::

Kaara Soora -> ::clicks on her PADD, monitoring::

Joe Manning -> ::Moves toward Chris::

Byblos -> ::just turns around to his Bike and begins fixing it again::

William Chocox -> ::starts walking out of the cargo bay::

Byblos -> (correction: The Qob's Bike)

STSF_Nickles -> ::looks to Joe:: Need somethin special from me boss?

Kaara Soora -> ::starts walking towards the exit, back to sick bay, nudging William on purpose::

Byblos -> Shane...

Pher -> :: Stands a little bit clear of the others, starts stretching out a bit. ::

Shane -> ::gets of his crate(which creaks with relief) and steps to Byblos:: What?

William Chocox -> ::nudges Soora back:: How are you doing?

Joe Manning -> ::Glances to Sal:: Sal, get in touch with Verbistul. Make sure everyone's where they need to be, then release the airlock clamps so we can get underway

rosetto -> ::turns to Kaara::Well, I guess I will have to postpone my visit, Doctor...

Joe Manning -> ::Looks at Chris:: Need to talk to you, boss.

Kaara Soora -> ::clicks off her PADD:: Would be better if I didn't have to write a report as well. You?

rosetto -> Aye, Sir... On my way..

Troy Parson -> ::clanks off back towards the science lab::

Byblos -> The Guardian Engineer is right. What good are we without a ship that we can use effectively ::saying this to the bike Not Shane:: This ship needs a dock, I think you know that.

Kaara Soora -> ::Calls back to Sal:: Anytime.

rosetto -> ::heads of to the bridge::

rosetto -> ^off

STSF_Nickles -> :: waits::

William Chocox -> Same, except I also have to make sure the ship doesn't fall apart.

Pher -> :: Forgets the stretch. Starts a quick tour of the Qob, aft to front, counting life forms again ::

Byblos -> ::takes a Plasma torch and begins reshaping the front water deflector::

Joe Manning -> Walk with me. ::Waves the bottle toward the hold entrance, then heads toward it himself::

Kaara Soora -> ::snorts a little:: Have fun with that. I don't envy you.

STSF_Nickles -> :: moves off to the entrance::

Byblos -> ::squints you got a CPU Jykin messed up right. If that thing can plot a course, would you trust it?

William Chocox -> ::chuckles:: Yeah, should be exciting.

Joe Manning -> ::Watches Pher move ahead of them. Speaks quietly enough for only Chris to hear:: Your first stop when we got here was Pher's quarters.

STSF_Nickles -> ::walks out of the hold and walks with Joe::

rosetto -> ::passes the gangway and heads toward the bridge through the main corridor::

Shane -> This ship needs a lot of things...one being better straps. You can use what tools you need to fix that piece of crap.

STSF_Nickles -> Aye and?

Kaara Soora -> ::nods:: Don't let me keep you. I know there's much you should be doing. You know where I'll be... should the need arise.

Shane -> ::leans against a bulkhead:: I'd trust it for that, the repair program on the Verb was sufficient to get the basic systems trustworthy.

Joe Manning -> No need to be short with me, old friend, I wasn't judgin'. Pher already has the rest of the crew thinkin' I'm a prude.

William Chocox -> ::makes his turn to engineering:: Ok, I'll see you later than.

STSF_Nickles -> Joe you know Im still dealing with what baldy did to me. Shes helping me get over it.

Byblos -> ::again said while fixing the bike not turning to Shane:: Another man's Sh*t is another crew's treasure. But this ship is our key to gettin paid...I think we should cash in and get it fixed before the next job.

Joe Manning -> ::Lifts his fist to cough into it while Nickles talks, as if the 'prude' comment stirred something up::

rosetto -> ::arrives at the helm and taps the COM panel::+Verbistul+This is QoB. Awaiting all clear to disengaged docking ring...

Kaara Soora -> ::pauses, watching him walk away before heading back to sickbay::

STSF_Nickles -> Shes lessening doses each time we visit

Shane -> We need cash for that...::sees William making for Engineering don the cooridor:: Will! Come 'ere!

Pher -> Audrey Audrey, tell me true. Does any dare to intrude?

Joe Manning -> ::Nods:: I know she is, Chris. But it seems to be takin' longer than I thought it would. And I can't help but wonder what kind of long-term effects it'll have on you ...

Joe Manning -> You're ... you're distracted, Chris. Have been since the Deltan got ya. ::Sips the bourbon again::

Byblos -> Your call Chief. ::Byblos continues to work on the bike not looking at Shane..thinking hoping some latinum can be gained by selling infor at Xorax.

STSF_Nickles -> What are you getting at Joe?

Troy Parson -> ::emerges from the science lab now without armor and heads towards the cargo bay::

Pher -> :: After poking a bit in the back, starts working towards the front. ::

William Chocox -> ::turns and walks back towards Shane:: Yeah Shane?

Joe Manning -> ::Wandering aimlessly along the corridors in the ship's engineering section:: We had a good mix, Chris. For eight years. Or is it seven? I'm losin' track these days. You were a damn fine medical chief ...

rosetto -> ::taps at his nav console and computes the course corrections::

Kaara Soora -> ::rubs eyes as she goes into sickbay, fighting back a yawn::

Shane -> ...but not all the time ::looks back up at Will:: What do you guys know about Guardian supply stores?

STSF_Nickles -> Come on joe spit it out.

STSF_Nickles -> :: steps in front of him and stops::

Pher -> :: Is getting so she can recognize life forms without pinging communicators. ::

Joe Manning -> ::Stops and sighs at him:: This crew's young, Chris. We lost half of what we had to that disaster in the Expanse. And what we've got now ... I ain't got control of it.

William Chocox -> ::raises eyebrow:: Depends on where the supply depot is. Bigger settlements will have more stuff whereas backwaters will have bare minimum supplies and duct tape.

Kaara Soora -> ::checks manually on Ethan, allowing herself a small frown as she thinks about what fate awaits him. Seems like a waste::

Byblos -> ::disengages plasma torch grabbing another tool to twist the plyable metal now:: Off world or on Tranquility? Offworld I can't help you. Tranquility..hah..yeah we borrowed some of ..uh...William's stuff...sorry William.

STSF_Nickles -> What are you proposing?

Joe Manning -> I don't got their trust. I find I can't get as strong a read on the new folks as I used to be able to. And even the old hands are steppin outside my control more often than I'd like. It's caused some grumbling.

Troy Parson -> ::emerges in the cargo hold, muttering to himself:: Hmm, I could swear I left it around here somewhere...::sees the others who are in the bay and looks up for a second:: Oh, 'elllo. ::goes back to searching::

Shane -> Hm...Guardians run a few Klingon vessels, don't they? And they would have to have extra parts.

Joe Manning -> I don't think you're the right person to help me lead this crew, Chris. And I need a medical chief I can depend on to be there with me no matter what.

William Chocox -> ::looks over at Byblos:: A lot of my stuff got borrowed on Tranquility.

Pher -> +Sal+ Sal? You about ready to push off?

rosetto -> ::disengages docking ring and pulls QoB away from the Verbistul::

rosetto -> ACTON: QoB receives confirmtion from Verbistul

Pher -> :: Hears a clanking sound and guesses that would be a yes.... ::

rosetto -> +Pher+Just pulled away... Why?

STSF_Nickles -> Medical Chief.

STSF_Nickles -> whats Kaara going to think of that?

Kaara Soora -> ::sighs and sits down, boots on her desk, opening up her PADD::

Pher -> +Sal+ I was just going to sit here by the door in paranoid mode until we left. That was a short watch. Thanks.

Shane -> ::watches Troy rummage:: What are you lookin' for?

William Chocox -> It depends on if the ship was stationed to the depot and also how backwater it is. A lot of the outer planets make due with about our level of supplies.

Joe Manning -> ::Shrugs and waves the bottle toward him a bit:: Kaara's a kid. I don't know her any more than I know Sal or Shane or William. I know you ...

Byblos -> ::Puts some torque into the tool briefly flexing some muscle on a scared arm:: Guardian security systems seemed to be, derivatives of Gular Consortium Tech, William might know more...if they just bought the same crap over and over again....we might be able to.....::

Joe Manning -> And you know it's the job that you're best at, Chris. Hell, it's the job that I'm best at ... but I ain't got anyone to hand the ship off to. Not yet.

Troy Parson -> ::looks up at Shane:: Containerless centrifuge. Know I've got one stashed around here...you haven't seen it, have you?

rosetto -> +Pher+No problem sweetie... Always like to please... ::chuckles::

STSF_Nickles -> Whos taken over First mate? Anyone Or are you leaving that open?

Pher -> +Sal+ And that you do. I should be there in a bit, but I'm going to touch bases with the Doc.

Pher -> :: Starts to sickbay. ::

Byblos -> William you serve on a ship in their fleet? ::asked again while looking at the reshaped metal of the bike::

rosetto -> ((it's raining really hard here... tornado weather))

Kaara Soora -> ((Sorry to hear that-- snowing here))

Joe Manning -> Someone the crew ain't been listenin to enough. Someone they need to start listenin to more ...

Shane -> ::glances down at Byblos's pile of parts and fishes something out:: This it? ::tosses the object::

William Chocox -> No, I was planet side repairs.

Joe Manning -> Frankly, Chris, when you slip into your command face, you get a bit loud ... and a bit 'boot camp.' Some of the crew tend to laugh it off.

Byblos -> ::turns:: What the hell is that?

Byblos -> So You fixed ships William?

Joe Manning -> I need to give the crew someone that'll really put some scare into them.

Troy Parson -> ::catches the part:: No, this isn't it.

STSF_Nickles -> I see

Kaara Soora -> ::tapping on her PADD between pauses, thinking::

Troy Parson -> The thing I'm looking for is much bigger, and it isn't shaped like a tuna.

Byblos -> ::wonders what the heck Troy's device would be doing in his tool kit he contemplates....exhales and reaches for another tool to release a stem belt::

William Chocox -> Yeah, they would go out on patrol, come back and I would do maintenance and any repairs they would need.

Joe Manning -> Maybe. Truth is, I'm an old man and I need the right person at my side to keep this crew in line.

Troy Parson -> ::starts prying at a wall panel:: Maybe I put it behind here...::coughs as dust comes out::

Joe Manning -> I don't think you're that person right now. It's not a demotion. Just puttin' you where I need you most. And takin the burden off your shoulders

Pher -> :: Knocks and quietly enters the Doc's area. ::

Byblos -> Hmmm...::Heh Shane...William has worked on ships...know that? applaies torque to tool::

Kaara Soora -> ::looks up, ears perking:: Hello, Pher.

Pher -> Hello, doctor. Just touching bases.

Shane -> ::grunts and watches Troy for a sec, then turns his head to the others:: The reason I'm askin' is because we need a new computer core, this one's shot.

rosetto -> ::looks out into the open space on the main viewer::

STSF_Nickles -> ::sighs:: I see

Kaara Soora -> ::clicks off PADD:: Of course. What is on your mind?

Shane -> And Klingon equipment ain't too terribly easy to find round here.

Pher -> Just a nagging feeling I've left behind loose ends.

Joe Manning -> ::Sighs as well:: And I suppose this is the part where you tell me that you're okay with it and you'll do whatever I want ... since your loyalty to me remains your strongest virtue and your greatest fault.

Pher -> Not sure what to make of Ethan, or that infection, or whatever it is.

Kaara Soora -> ::takes boots off of desk and sits up straight in her chair:: What do you mean?

Byblos -> ::stops working:: I was waiting for you to say that. What the heck can the boss or any of us do without a replacement. How the heck does one find a replacment?

rosetto -> +Joe+Ready to depart, Sir... On your command...

Kaara Soora -> ::nods:: Ah.

STSF_Nickles -> ::sighs:: Joe we have been together a long time.

STSF_Nickles -> ::stops when hearing Sal::

Joe Manning -> ::Quickly taps his ODRI and replies:: +Sal+ Make it happen ::Cuts the comm and looks at Chris::

Kaara Soora -> ::looks over at him:: For right now, consider him as just a man in a coma, and nothing more. Nothing indicates he will ever come out of it.

Shane -> ::speaks plainly:: Scavenge it. Steal it.

Byblos -> ::Byblos puts his head resting on his drity hands:: We must. I agree. But where.....

rosetto -> ::engages QoB Warp drive with Xorax Colony set in::

Pher -> Should I also set aside hopes and plans that he might?

STSF_Nickles -> If thats what you want me to do, Ill do it. You know you and this ship mean a lot to me.

William Chocox -> That's what we would have to do at this point.

Shane -> The Klingons weren't much for re-designin' equipment. If something worked, they stuck with it. That's why this old bird is still runnin'/

Kaara Soora -> ::raises eyebrows:: Of course not. We should be prepared for anything that might happen.

Joe Manning -> The only time you ever argue with me is when you're my doctor, Chris. ::Grins::

Pher -> Good.

Kaara Soora -> Is that the only reason you came down here, Pher?

Byblos -> Right, so If they stuck with things, where to they put the spares?

STSF_Nickles -> Aye and if your putting me CMO You better look for that to happen again

rosetto -> ::thinks to himself 'entering warp speed never gets old' and a smile emerges on his face::

Joe Manning -> That's just another reason I put you there. ::Moves around him and continues walking, holding the bottle of bourbon out to him::

Pher -> Yah. Right now he's the closest I've got to a security problem. Thought I should be sure I'm up to date.

Pher -> If you've nothing to add, I'll leave him to you.

Shane -> Stealin' from the Klingons would be a last resort in my opinion.

Byblos -> ::finally looks up to Shane:: A Core job...that would be something. I just not certain we have everything we need to pull it off. But WE NEED to pull it off.

Kaara Soora -> ::nods:: I'll let you know if anything changes.

Pher -> Much appreciated. I'll be about. :: Smiles, and retreats ::

STSF_Nickles -> ::takes the bottle while walking with him and takes a swing, handing it back to him::

Shane -> ::to William:: How much security is put on those ships you worked on when they're in drydock?

Pher -> :: Decides the bridge might ought to be next. ::

Kaara Soora -> ::sets boots up back onto the desk, clicking back on PADD, but stares at the screen, her thoughts elsewhere::

Byblos -> There are Klingons on Tranquility. ::byblos quietly mutters::

Joe Manning -> ::Takes the bottle:: Computer's fried. And there's demons lurkin' in it, from before one of the wipes ... something that didn't get erased properly.

rosetto -> ::taps on his console and sets the auto-pilot yet again. rises to retire to his make-shift office space in the forward sensor room::

STSF_Nickles -> So who are you putting as first mate.

William Chocox -> ::to Shane:: Minimal at best once you were in the drydock area.

Byblos -> Are you talking surface or orbital?

Pher -> :: Steps onto the bridge, intending to visit her console ::

Kaara Soora -> ::looks over at Ethan, frowning a little again::

Byblos -> ::looks to Shane::

Shane -> Any Klingon ships in the Guardian fleet?

Joe Manning -> ::Chuckles:: If you ain't figured it out, Chris, I ain't gonna spoil the surprise. Don't cut an old man off when he's rantin ...

rosetto -> ::Sees Pher entering just as he is leaving:: Hey you...

William Chocox -> A few.

Pher -> Who me? :: pretends to look about for others Sal might be talking to ::

Shane -> ::to Bybs:: Surface. ::William:: What size? Anything close to the Qob?

Byblos -> I have seen Klingon Freighters docked at Tranquility. ::butts in::

William Chocox -> Mostly scout ships.

rosetto -> ::stops::Of course... What can we find on Ethan? I mean once we're in range?

Byblos -> ::exhales:: wow..that would be a heck of a heist..

STSF_Nickles -> All right all right, But Im gonna put my two cents worth in to it you anyway I think if you pick anyone it should be Pher me

STSF_Nickles -> **scratch that me at the end

Byblos -> Shane you think they use the same cores...at least loosely? Freighters old...and Birds of Prey old.

Joe Manning -> ::Sighs and shakes his head:: I've got to remember that you ain't my First Mate any more ... so you don't got to listen to me babblin' about our next mission ...

Shane -> ::sighs:: What we need is a core from a military ship, a freighter or a scout wouldn't handle the specs.

Joe Manning -> But you'd best be ready. When we're done at Xorax, we'll be payin' our old friend Samus a visit. ::Takes a long swig, finishing off the bottle of bourbon::

Pher -> Ethan? Kaara just said he was in a coma, and not to anticipate changes.

Byblos -> ::thinks and tries to remember years of living on Tranquility::

Joe Manning -> PAUSE SIM
