USS Republic - November 5 2012

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

STSF_BluRox -> USS Republic Mission Briefing 51211.05 As the away teams have now reached their destination (the Planet Risa), as determined by the clues they had all found; and have all determined that their clues have lead them to check into the establishment called the Mythical Pleasure Dome and Bar. As they checked in, they found that they each had been booked into an all expenses paid package at the resort and given a room key and a code to their room safe. In the room safe, was the message to wait until they were approached with more instructions, but that in the meantime, they were to establish their cover as vacationing tourists.....albeit, tourist trying to keep a low profile and not be noticed. So now they must meet the challenge of appearing to have a good time, without getting into trouble or notice.

Jameson Bardolph -> &::in the hotel room, lounging on his back on one of the beds::

Heather Jamieson -> John Grey> :: Looking for something to eat for both him and Kasuga ::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::on the ship, entrusting one of the security officers to supervise Heather's painting project::

Dr Tisa Sen -> & So what is our next step "Hans"

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::was on a boat, going snorkeling with the Wife®::

Jameson Bardolph -> &Bizarrely enough...it seems to be to have fun. Indefinitely.

Dr Tisa Sen -> & ::Pacing a bit::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Jumps off the boat and into the water::: weeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Dr Tisa Sen -> & Indefinitely?

Jameson Bardolph -> &Well, until we're contacted.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Finds something he likes at least. Gets something with a good mix of vegetables ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::dives in after her::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::in her hotel, dressing into a more loose fitting garment to hide her green-ness. So far, so good in the times she ventured out::

STSF_BluRox -> (Basically..you're supposed to be pretending to be on Shoreleave.....without the getting into too much trouble part)

Dr Tisa Sen -> & ::moves to the replicator and orders up a hot coffee:: Want anything?

Jameson Bardolph -> &Answers. ::looking at the ceiling::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::checks herself in the mirror:: There we are.

Jameson Bardolph -> &Oh you mean to drink. ::grins::

Dr Tisa Sen -> (( ::Tapes down Rian:: ))

Jameson Bardolph -> &Nah, nothing for me.

Dr Tisa Sen -> & ::takes her coffee and walks out to the table on the balcony::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Meanwhile Heather is bent down in a corner of on of the security cells. A large cell, a large bucket of paint and a tiny brush. She felt shame, bitterness and anger ::

Jameson Bardolph -> &See anything? ::calling out through the door::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Nods to the cook who handed over a hot meal to John. He makes his way back to the hotel, the computer obliging him with the directions back ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::ventures out into the balcony, sipping a lemonade and admiring the view::

Dr Tisa Sen -> & Besides the pool? Not really

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: He found another knick-knack along the way and held it in his free hand ::

Jameson Bardolph -> &::popping to his feet and walking out with her; looks over the railing:: I don't know. It's a pretty suspicious pool. We should keep an eye on it.

Jameson Bardolph -> &Maybe I'll go investigate later.

 

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Chimes the hotel door ::

Jameson Bardolph -> &::grins::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Dunks Will::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::drags her down with him::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: muffled :: I'm back,

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::opens the door:: Hey, welcome back.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> I got us something hot to eat. I'm not sure if it's spicy or simply hot.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Enters ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Hmm, I hope it's not too spicy.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::removes her head scarf, now used to the fact that her face is still green::

Dr Tisa Sen -> & ::Sips the coffee::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Oh, they had these things everywhere.. I think it's a horga'hn.. horgan... something. I think it’s carved out of wood.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Heather started painting from the very bottom of the cell upwards ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::Examines the carving:: Interesting. Very beautiful.

Jameson Bardolph -> &::hoists himself up to sit carefully on the railing::

Jameson Bardolph -> &::thoughtful pause, then:: So what do you think we're going to get told to do next?

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Heck if I know what it means. :: Sits the food on the coffee table next to the couch ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::swimming around, trying not to cause any scenes for once::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Sets her container in front of her. Opens his. :: Should have ordered standard utensils. Hmm. I see you have gone to some lengths to cover up the green.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Pulls her mask on and takes a look::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Hmm, I'm no archaeologist, but I guess they must have some historical significance. Either that, or they're something a marketing committee thought up to sell to gullible tourists

Heather Jamieson -> :: One thing about the painting is the quiet. Calming, but Heather's own thoughts betrayed her ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Yes, I have. Actually, it does a pretty good job in hiding the green in the times I ventured out on my own.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> It's all over the place. Seems to be a gift people are giving each other.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Hmm, the new fad on the planet perhaps.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> You think being green would not be a stigma. What of blue. Poor Bolians or Andorians.

Dr Tisa Sen -> & I'm sure it won't be as pleasant as this ::Gesturing to the room::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ That'd be better than being green. I mean, people don't look as unkindly towards Orions than they do for Andorians. You have any blue paint and little plastic antennae? ::chuckles::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Hey. I'm sorry this is not a 'girls night out' kind of vacation. I tend to put a damper on festivities. :: takes a bite ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::staying close to August::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Face turns a bit red :: Mmmm.

Dr Tisa Sen -> & Has to be something major. And I'm not trusting it. Knowing the Captain , she wouldn't end it on this low of a note. It would be more dramatic.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Drinks ::

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Actually... we are supposed to be under the guise of 'having a good time'. I've been out to the local markets and beach. ::eats her food slowly::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Sure. What did you find out?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Heather worked her way around a corner of the cell ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Not much. Other than the fact that it's a lot easier to be in disguise on Risa than it was on Minos Korva. With the multicultural environment here, no one gives me a second look in this get up.

Heather Jamieson ->$ John Grey> That's great to hear. :: gets the bottle of wine out from it's ice. Pours ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ I just can't hit the beaches in my bikini is all.

Jameson Bardolph -> &Goodie. ::dryly, eyes skimming the skyline with a combination of personal and professional interest::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: At first he smiled, then frowned ::

Jameson Bardolph -> &Nothing makes a vacation quite like waiting for the other shoe to drop, neh?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Pinches Will.. swims away:::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> I'm sure no one would say anything.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::chases::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Pours a bit of wine for her, then for himself ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ You okay, John? I figure it'd be me who'd do the most frowning. At least you're still human colored.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::takes her wine glass, nods thanks::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Climbs back on the boat::

STSF_BluRox -> (Heather, you're not reading the 'outlander' series are you?)

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Oh, that's not what I was frowning about. :: Embarrassed ::

Heather Jamieson -> (No, similarities?)

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::climbs up as well:: Woman, that was just rude.

STSF_BluRox -> (no idea, I’m not reading it, someone just asked me if you were Mr Grey from there)

Heather Jamieson -> (no, I'll take a look at the series though)

STSF_BluRox -> (I suppose that is better than you being from 50 Shades of Grey)

Heather Jamieson -> (yeah)

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> So, now that you have been able to go out and about, where'd you like to go?

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ I don't know. Anywhere in particular you wanna visit?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() Yeah I know ::Winks:: I also could have just pushed you back in

 

STSF_BluRox -> Shady character 1> :: In hotel bar lounge:: I've see a few groups that have come in, any that could match our contacts. I need you to try to determine which of them it is, and find out where we're supposed to make the drop, and the pickup::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> I've heard great things about the beaches here... but not for reasons you'd like... or maybe you would.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Heh.. We could go visit the beaches sure.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Tell, you what. Let's just go rather than sit here and talk about it. :: gets up to store his food way ::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Gets her food, ready or not, and stores it away ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Yeah, it might not be good for our cover if we're holed up here 24-7.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Wrapped up in towel::

STSF_BluRox -> Shady Character 2> Already on it. I have one of the others already keeping an eye on them, and he'll report back to me shortly. We can probably make the drop right here at the Pleasure Dome, lots of people, easy to blend in and not be noticed....

STSF_BluRox -> Shady Character 1> See to it......

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Come on.. Get whatever you need. :: flips his hands about ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::looks too good to wrap himself up in a towel::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Enjoying the ride back to shore:: I can't wait for lunch

Jameson Bardolph -> ::slides off the railing and stands up restlessly:: I'm thinking a walk, see if I can catch any signs of activity...you want to come along?

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::gets up:: Sure, I won't need much. ::grabs a small bag and stuff in some sunscreen, sunglasses and a few other things:: Good to go

STSF_BluRox -> Shady Character 2> Right boss.....

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Great :: Grabs her hand without thinking and leads her out the door ::

Dr Tisa Sen -> & Sure. ::Comes in and gets ready to go out::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Grabs her fancy sarong/thing and wraps it around herself::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::bit taken off guard, but walks with Grey out the door::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Points :: That's the way to the beaches.. they have games, hoverball... old school volleyball. A beach with black sand...

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: This way ::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::grabs the nicer of the two vests he had along for this trip and throws it on::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Hmm. Not much of a volleyball player, but I like to watch

STSF_BluRox -> (Will.....you're going to have to have a talk with Ayumu....he was dissin' ya the other night on Talon)

Jameson Bardolph -> :;debates waking up Tory to come along but she's sacked out on the other bed, dead to the world::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> I played it a bit, but it's way back.

Ayumu Kasuga -> (lol.. hey now)

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Last time I played was in high school P.E.

LtCmdrRobinson -> (OH REALLY NOW?)

STSF_BluRox -> (Right after he....shot the guy they were trying to rescue, but then at least didn’t shoot our security guys, saying at least he wasn't a Will Robinson)

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::steps off the boat and onto the dock::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Heather imagined the others enjoying themselves. The beaches, the food...the men ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> (I shoot everyone, I don't discriminate. Equal Opportunity and all...)

STSF_BluRox -> (( --- > Chief Instigator!! ))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ((Rofl))

Jameson Bardolph -> &::heads out the hotel room door, holding it open for Tisa::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Takes her at a brisk pace towards the beach :: I want to miss the rain. (sarcastically)

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() where do you want to have lunch? back at the hotel or some place else?

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::walks more briskly as well:: You do, eh? Hmm.

Dr Tisa Sen -> & ::Follows him out, Adjusts her costume before they leave, didn't want to go this far and not blow her cover::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::shrugs:: Up to you.

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> John and Ayumu passed by a series of shops, restaurants and other species entertainments... holo record your vacation. Bring loved ones that could not make it via live holo cams ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::glances at the various items in the shopping stalls:: Hmm.

Jameson Bardolph -> &::rubs the back of his neck:: Getting to be so I'm gonna be puzzled to see my own face in the mirror again. ::heads for the lift down into the lobby::

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() Let return to the Hotel, just incase

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> What? Something you see?

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::nods:: I'm starving.

STSF_BluRox -> Shady 2> :: following one of the couples, looking at a few random items in the store:::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ No.. not really. Just looking around.

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() you are always starving ::Smirks::

Dr Tisa Sen -> & you think yours is?? ::laughs and rubs her nose where her ridges should be::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Want to continue onto the beach?

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Enters the Hotel and heads to the dinning Lounge::

STSF_BluRox -> (I wonder, how green pigment reacts to sunburn?)

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Sure, but stop me if you want to look at anything.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Will do.

Heather Jamieson -> (Better than Heather's natural skin tone)

August Jax Robinson -> {{The Bottle says "Do not ware in direct sunlight!"}

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Green and red.. She'd look like a Christmas tree. At least Ayumu put on some sun screen)

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Gets to the large doorway leading to sandy beaches :: Can you smell that air?

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Yes, it's been awhile since I last breathed in the sea air.

Jameson Bardolph -> &::chuckles and triggers the lift to take them downstairs:: Yes, I suppose you take the cake for the biggest change.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Could they make this paint smell any worse? Heather wondered.

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Don't get high of the fumes!)

Heather Jamieson -> :: Round and round Heather went with the paint. Ants would have an easier time with this job. She could not find a good sitting position to paint in ::

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Oh. :: Picks up a large blanket and a collapsible umbrella ::

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::helps John set the blanket in the sand::

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::skips ordering alcohol because it will end badly for sure::

STSF_BluRox -> (let her sleep!! it's vacation!)

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() I will have some water and a Glass of red wine

STSF_BluRox -> (Considering dropping Tisa in a well........ yea or nay?_

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> This blanket has everything. "Will not fly away" on the label.

STSF_BluRox -> (someone didn’t get my reference to Timmy's in the Well)

August Jax Robinson -> {{Save Timmy!!}}

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() no wine for you Brother?

 

Dr Tisa Sen -> & Worse part, it was self induced.

LtCmdrRobinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::Shakes head:: Not tonight.

STSF_BluRox -> (I'm like...you people are the same age, how can you not remember Lassie saving Timmy after he fell in the well!?)

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> :: Sets up the umbrella :: Seen anyone we know yet?

Heather Jamieson -> (Lassie?)

Jameson Bardolph -> &I guess if you've got to do surgery on yourself, there are worse types of surgery to b doing.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ ::Looks around the beach:: Nope, I haven't. Did you?

Jameson Bardolph -> ((i got it))

Jameson Bardolph -> (( lol ))

August Jax Robinson -> !@#$%^&*() ::sips wine:: why do you look annoyed?

Dr Tisa Sen -> & Yeah they kind of frown on self appendectomies

Dr Tisa Sen -> & Now open heart...that is a different matter

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> I thought I did, but I did not stare or anything... probably not. There are millions on the planet and thousands on this beach alone.

Jameson Bardolph -> &Do you speak from experience? ::grins and steps out into the lobby::

Dr Tisa Sen -> & ::Laughs:: No not really.

Ayumu Kasuga -> $ Finding anyone we know here would be like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack

STSF_BluRox -> (and here comes the SGV)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (Whoa.. blast from the past!)

Dr Tisa Sen -> ((Well well look what the cat dragged in))

Ayumu Kasuga -> (I think the cat dragged him to the lobby)

STSF_BluRox -> (now to see if he can figure out how to get in room)

LtCmdrRobinson -> ((its been so long Trepp has forgotten our ships name, can’t find the room)

STSF_BluRox -> (what room are we in? lol)

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

STSF_BluRox -> PAUSE SIM

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Paused::

Ayumu Kasuga -> We're in 'Republic'

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Paused::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::pawsors::

STSF_BluRox -> WELL...WELL.. well...Timing is everything!

Heather Jamieson -> $ John Grey> Paused

Heather Jamieson -> Paused

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::kicks Trepp::

LtCdrTrepp -> Hey!

LtCdrTrepp -> Not nice

August Jax Robinson -> ::Pushes Will::

STSF_BluRox -> You might not do that.....he is our SGV....

STSF_BluRox -> you never know what he may do!

LtCdrTrepp -> I will be practicing my maniacal evil villain laugh for the next week.

STSF_BluRox -> Watch it Will..I think Jax had a crush on him

STSF_BluRox -> sorta like Bardolph has on her

STSF_BluRox -> like Heather has on you

LtCdrTrepp -> She has been rather speechless since I got here....

LtCdrTrepp -> And now the blushing....

August Jax Robinson -> I did

Heather Jamieson -> :: eyes Will ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Huggles Trepp::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::eyeroll::

STSF_BluRox -> omg, we're going back to the ways of the old Republic...when we were referred to as "the Love Boat"

LtCdrTrepp -> Awww

Dr Tisa Sen -> LOL

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::pulls her away::

August Jax Robinson -> Ack!! noooo

Dr Tisa Sen -> Love boat with an edge since jax is married and kids

LtCdrTrepp -> Pull her wherever you want Will, you can’t control who she'll be thinking of tonight...

LtCdrTrepp -> =P

August Jax Robinson -> ::Giggles::

STSF_BluRox -> For those of you that have not met the illustrious LtCdr Trepp....he used to be our Ceng here for many, many years

LtCdrTrepp -> Yup

LtCmdrRobinson -> August® is mine™

Jameson Bardolph -> ::waves at Trepp:: :)

August Jax Robinson -> he can have that JOb

Ayumu Kasuga -> :D

LtCdrTrepp -> If you found duct tape on the antimatter magnetic storage, it was probably my doing.

LtCmdrRobinson -> No we blew that ship up

LtCdrTrepp -> Hello Jameson, helloo all

Heather Jamieson -> Hello

STSF_BluRox -> Welcome back Dryake

LtCmdrRobinson -> The duct tape finally gave away and the ship died

STSF_BluRox -> True, after 13 years, we finally got a very nice new ship

LtCdrTrepp -> Yeah... Blu's favorite line from any ST episode or movie anywhere is "Well fly her apart then!" I was the poor sot that had to avoid the 'apart' aspect of her command ways.

STSF_BluRox -> only problem is we got it quickly and one of the shuttles had been painted at the shipyards as a joke and hadnt' been repainted..so we kept it for Will....the Unicorn...it's pink with glitter

STSF_BluRox -> Hey...that's why we have engineering...have to give them something to do

LtCmdrRobinson -> Leave my shuttle out of this, mind your business

August Jax Robinson -> I loooooove pink... AND glitter!!

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, well it's getting late and I know some of you have to run. so if there are no questions, enjoy your shoreleave, we'll say there is about a day between sims so log if you like

STSF_BluRox -> and we'll see you next week. Remember to vote today. Unless you are Canadian, like Ayumu...sorry Ayumy....bagged milk for you

STSF_BluRox -> Crew Dismissed
