USS Republic - March 25 2013

[Capt Rian Kwai 0]

Capt Rian Kwai -> Mission Briefing: The crew of the Republic has received special invitation from Cultural Ambassador Imen: A VIP tour of the Icelea Grotto, one of Risa’s little known unusual geological wonders. A special vehicle has been employed to allow the crew to enjoy the spectacular view while staying safe from the extreme heat within the cave. Secretary Gravois has been filling the crew in on some of the unusual features of the caverns while crewman Smith spills drinks over unsuspecting guests (and crew).

Capt Rian Kwai -> Any questions?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Okay, so the silence I take as a "no".

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~Begin Sim~~~

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~Begin Sim~~~

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Watching out the window::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::looking out the window::

Ayumu Kasuga -> window

STSF_BluRox -> :: sighs::

Christina_Nickles -> :: scratches a bit at the spots on her hands::

August Jax Robinson -> {{is that Canada speak?}}

Ayumu Kasuga -> ((Dan Quail speak? lol))

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>The shuttle had slowed to a stop in the last sim. Now it's picked up speed again.

 

STSF_BluRox -> (at least he didn’t say ho)

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at the rocks::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::leaned back in his seat, eyes half-closed but listening closely to Gravois's narration::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::settles back into her seat::

STSF_BluRox -> ::watching Smith to make sure he don't spill anything else::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Watching the colors on her skin and the color of the crystals ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::still a bit irked by the meeting with Fleet....at least she got to have a nice dinner with Calvert before she returned::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Glances over at Blu, noting her fur looks a little lack luster and wonders if she is ok::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>Excuse me, I'm going to go check on Engineer Jones.

STSF_BluRox -> (careful you. Or I'll toss you into a cave of wonders)

Jameson Bardolph -> ::opens one eye at that, checking Gravois's expression:: All well?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Gravois>::tight smile, nods to each row of crew members before he opens the front cabin door and slips inside::

LtCmdrRobinson -> This might have been a bit of a romantic trip if we didn’t have all the extra people around.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks at Christina and then Ayumu ::

August Jax Robinson -> is that really a problem?

STSF_BluRox -> ::looks over and sees Tisa looking at her:: What?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::shrugs::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Gets up and moves over to her::

STSF_BluRox -> ::hears Will in the back with her keen hearing::

Dr Tisa Sen -> You alright??

STSF_BluRox -> ::rolls eyes::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Hears a "What?" from the Admiral and looks ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns and looks at Tisa:: Uhm...yea....why?

Jameson Bardolph -> ::makes a concerned noise at the back of his throat and leans forward, hoping to hear what might be discussed beyond the door:: ::didn't exactly like that tight smile::

Dr Tisa Sen -> How do i put this delicately, if you were human I'd say you were pale

Christina_Nickles -> :: turns to Will:: Sir? should we be worried because he went up there? :: nodding to the exit that Gravios made::

STSF_BluRox -> ::looks at her fur:: What do you mean pale::

LtCmdrRobinson -> I wouldn’t think so. It wouldn’t do for them to lose the most important crew in Starfleet on their planet.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::at least the Admiral didn't have spots like she did... maybe now the she, Heather and Christina will share Kwai's "Spots" moniker::

Christina_Nickles -> That’s why I’m a bit worried about it. This would be a perfect time to try something. I mean having the Admiral here and all.

Dr Tisa Sen -> you look under the weather, stressed

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Half listening to Nickels::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Listening in on Nickels as well, glanced at Ayumu ::

STSF_BluRox -> Stressed....perhaps a bit, yes.

Jameson Bardolph -> ::trying to tune out the discussion and listen to the shuttle::

Dr Tisa Sen -> A little too much perhaps

STSF_BluRox -> Just need to get a bit of rest. I was quickly recalled to a Fleet meeting on Starbase 279 for a few days and I think I had been back on the ship about an hour before I was informed of this little trip. It was not a pleasant meeting....however, I will deal with it

Dr Tisa Sen -> Anything we should know about?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::continues taking photos and listening to Blu::

Christina_Nickles -> ::looking back up towards the door waiting for him to return::

August Jax Robinson -> Oh Nickles stop being Paranoid.. no one care we are here

STSF_BluRox -> Not here.....it's nothing that concerns the crew. Just some of my.....decision making being called into question of late is all.

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((and somewhere on a ship somewhere is Kwai...))

Christina_Nickles -> :: to Will:: Sir I’m a bit concerned He’s been gone to long just to check on an engineer.

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::nods:: Well just remember we are here and support you

August Jax Robinson -> You should be more worried that Will and me are in the Back row... alone

STSF_BluRox -> So, if I start to doze off...give me a little nudge.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Well... he didn’t just have coffee split on his lap... that must require lots of medical attention. Maybe he's just being a nice guy?

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Nods:: Maybe a little coffee

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::too Nickels::

Christina_Nickles -> :: raises a brow and turns back around:: OOkay

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looks over at Nickels:: If you are worried, go knock on the door and ask a question or something.

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Gets up and goes to the door that their crew went through::

Heather Jamieson -> :: She smiled :: You'd think it'd not take this long.

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Knocks::Helloo? Any chance of getting more coffee?? In mugs instead of on us ::mumbles::

Christina_Nickles -> :: starts to get up and sees Tisa already doing it:: Looks like the doc is wondering also

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::rimshot::

STSF_BluRox -> Ew...too strong for my stomach...you know that

Dr Tisa Sen -> And some tea for the Admiral

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::pokes his head out:: Coffee you say? Certainly. ::toothy grin::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::watches Tisa at the door::

STSF_BluRox -> ::wouldn’t mind a little tea, but perhaps later::

Christina_Nickles -> I guess everything is ok... Just seems odd is all

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Thinks this guy is quite...odd::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> And tea, yes ma'am. ::closing the crew cabin behind him:: Just two ticks! ::heading to the galley in the back of the vehicle::

STSF_BluRox -> ::decides to stand up and stretch a bit:: Looks around at everyone sitting like a shuttle sitting waiting for clearance to take off:: I though you all were supposed to be enjoying the view?

STSF_BluRox -> Jax...Will......enough of that....you have quarters back on the ship

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Moves back to her seat:: Your tea is coming

Jameson Bardolph -> ((i thought we were already moving))

STSF_BluRox -> Tea...you must have read my mind

Heather Jamieson -> :: Turns to look out the window. Looking, keep on looking ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> We are behaving, Admiral.

STSF_BluRox -> ::wonders, if this woman 'can' actually read her mind

Dr Tisa Sen -> But of course, I am your physician

August Jax Robinson -> we aren't do anything...... (w) yet

STSF_BluRox -> ::walks back towards them::: I’ll believe that...when I see that...No…wait...I don't want to see anything...

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::humming a tune as he works on refreshments::

Christina_Nickles -> :: absently scratches at her hands again::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns back to Tisa thinking "more like a witchdoctor"

Dr Tisa Sen -> and no I'm not a witch doctor

August Jax Robinson -> :::Giggles::

STSF_BluRox -> Stop reading my mind!

Jameson Bardolph -> ((lol))

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Walks over to Smith as she giggles::

STSF_BluRox -> ::does not trust telepaths::

Dr Tisa Sen -> Can I help you deliver those so we don't have another accident

STSF_BluRox -> ::or shapeshifters::

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO A STOP AGAIN. THE VIEW FROM THE PORT SIDE IS OF A VALLEY OF LARGE PILLARS OF QUARTZ. TO THE STARBOARD, NOTHING BUT DARK WALLS.

 

STSF_BluRox -> :: or security, engineering, Science....etc.::

Heather Jamieson -> (( or shapeshifting telepathic witchdoctors ))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Looks to the port side::

STSF_BluRox -> (evil shapeshifting telepathic witchdoctors)

Dr Tisa Sen -> ((I’m not evil))

Christina_Nickles -> :: sighs looking out at the Pillars:: Ayumu look over here

Heather Jamieson -> (( Makes evil note ))

Jameson Bardolph -> ::is on the starboard side and rather disappointed::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ((Its a bad case of ESSTWD))

August Jax Robinson -> {{i am evil}}

STSF_BluRox -> (you have your days...might I remind you of a certain hand that you had a 'hand' in removing?)

STSF_BluRox -> (that, was an evil witchdoctor)

STSF_BluRox -> (see, made my point)

Dr Tisa Sen -> ((Aye, that she was))

Heather Jamieson -> I have never seen crystals this large, even on the numerous planets on the surveys I've read.

STSF_BluRox -> (Jax...your sister is evil, you're just easy)

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looking out the port side::

LtCmdrRobinson -> (her sister is a hottie too)

Heather Jamieson -> (( Oo ))

STSF_BluRox -> (that reminds me.... ::jots down future plot notes::)

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::looking a bit sad, then hands over a tray:: I'll work on snacks then.

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Nods::good idea cold cuts are a good idea

Jameson Bardolph -> ::unstraps himself from his seat and goes over to look out the port window:::whistles under his breath::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Moves off with the tray::

STSF_BluRox -> Walks back over to Tisa:: Ok, so if you're worried about me being pale...what do I do about it...I don't seem a different color?

Dr Tisa Sen -> Admiral? ::Hands her the tea::

STSF_BluRox -> ::takes tea:: Thanks....

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Moves among the others:: Anyone else want some coffee??

Christina_Nickles -> :: looks back towards the door:: OK Smith came back but Garvios didn’t.

Dr Tisa Sen -> Tea??

STSF_BluRox -> And what do we do about those three.... :::looking at the three women that looked like they had seriously lost in a paintball barrage with Will::

Christina_Nickles -> Ill take some Dr Sen.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Holds hand up :: Coffee please.

Dr Tisa Sen -> It will fade...eventually ::To Blu over her shoulder::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Hands a coffee to Christina and Heather:: There ya go. Enjoy ::smiles::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns towards Nickles:: Not much place he can go, nobody can leave the ship or they'll fry

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::doing a little jig in the galley area as he moves around to warm up the snacks::

Christina_Nickles -> Thank you Doc.

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Takes her cup and brings back the tray:: :notes him cooking::uh oh

STSF_BluRox -> ::wonders if they have any delightful scones aboard:

Christina_Nickles -> ::nods to Blu:: Just seems odd he hasn’t returned yet and he was narrating.

STSF_BluRox -> Well…after a while, I assume that ....rocks..... more rocks..and even more rocks....gets a bit boring even for him

Christina_Nickles -> :: takes a sip of her coffee::

Dr Tisa Sen -> Blueberry, Chocolate, cinnamon or almond??

Christina_Nickles -> ::nods:: Aye Sir

STSF_BluRox -> Blueberry please

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Goes to Smith:: One blueberry scone please

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING AGAIN. MEANWHILE IN THE GALLEY, THE SMELL OF SOMETHING TOASTING...

 

STSF_BluRox -> Bardolph......a moment if you would please

Christina_Nickles -> ((Toast?? UT OHH))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Sniffs:: Do you smell that?

STSF_BluRox -> (I did not bring her mobile emitter with us)

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Looks around the galley, wondering if that is a fine line of smoke coming from the oven::

Christina_Nickles -> I smell something

Heather Jamieson -> :: Turns and smells :: As do I

Christina_Nickles -> :: takes another drink of her coffee:: He does make good coffee though

August Jax Robinson -> ::Worries Will might Snap at the smell::

Dr Tisa Sen -> Uhhh Smith...

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. ::pulling a hunk of overly toasted roll out of the oven:: Oops, over did it.

Jameson Bardolph -> to Blu> Ma'am? ::looking away from the window; steadies himself as the shuttle starts up again:: ::moves over towards the admiral::

Dr Tisa Sen -> Umm dumb question, why don't you just get a replicator?

STSF_BluRox -> Have a seat, I won't keep you long from the view.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::will not snap::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Sighs:: Maybe food isn't such a good idea

Jameson Bardolph -> ::drops into the seat next to her::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::but he does have a toast-sized evidence bag ready::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith> ::frowns:: It's not regulations for this vehicle. ::snapping in another food tray::

STSF_BluRox -> I never got a chance to thank you and Tory yet, for stopping that launcher device. That was some very good work. Everyone did good work, but had you two not figured that out and disabled it, we'd be in a while different situation right now ::picks up scone, and notes it is rock hard: frowns....:: I guess not...::sets it aside:: How did the two of you determine where the device was?

Jameson Bardolph -> Oh. ::looks a little surprised, then grins slightly:: Thank you, ma'am. We did what we could.

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sips her coffee... Mmmmm ::

STSF_BluRox -> Did you have a tip? I did know an operative that was on the planet, that used to be my CEng a few years back....did he give you any indications or help? Tip or no tip, I find it remarkable that the two of you were able to disable it as quickly as you did

Jameson Bardolph -> ::cocks head:: We had leads off a couple of people. There was an engineer, who seemed to be doing research on the business...his name was {says the right name even though his driver has a brain like a sieve}.

Heather Jamieson -> So, :: to Christina :: What do you think of our colors? :: smiling :: Parents will not get over this change..

Christina_Nickles -> :: sips more at her coffee again::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Smith>::starts circulating with warmed cookies and pretzels

Christina_Nickles -> I just wish we would get back to normal instead of being spotted.

STSF_BluRox -> Good, I was hoping that he was working on our side. I was hoping he hadn’t' gotten too deep undercover and had changed allegiance. That is a relief to me that I can report his innocence> thanks.

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Takes her seat again and sips on her coffee as she watches the team::

Christina_Nickles -> Or green at all.

Heather Jamieson -> Next it will probably be striped...

Christina_Nickles -> :: slightly rubs her arm::

Jameson Bardolph -> You're welcome, ma'am.

Christina_Nickles -> ((DONT Give her more ideas Heather)))

Christina_Nickles -> I hope not.

Dr Tisa Sen -> (((hmmmm so tempting))

Ayumu Kasuga -> (heh)

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::grabs a dozen cookies for himself and one for the wife®::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ( blue and yellow stripes, like fruit striped gum))

Heather Jamieson -> :: laughs and looks :: Come on, it will be fine. At least your not alone. :: Puts her arm along side Christina's ::

Christina_Nickles -> ((LOL ))

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::eating some cookies::

Heather Jamieson -> (( The gum with flavor that lasts a very short time ))

Christina_Nickles -> Pockadots are bad enough

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks :: Well, at least it did not get into my hair, though I did add more red into mine. :: flicks a lock of her hair ::

August Jax Robinson -> :::enjoys cookies::

Christina_Nickles -> :::nods sipping again from her mug::

Jameson Bardolph -> Was there anything else, Admiral?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Sees her drinking and sps hers ::

STSF_BluRox -> (jotting down all these great ideas::

Heather Jamieson -> (( If you have time after the sim... :) ))

 

Capt Rian Kwai -> ACTION>THE VEHICLE COMES TO AN SUDDEN STOP. SMITH'S BASKET OF GOODIES GOES FLYING.

 

Christina_Nickles -> (( :: cringes:: ))

STSF_BluRox -> Yes, do you like scones? or rather, know a beaver that could chew through this one?

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::Slides forward:: What??

Ayumu Kasuga -> Whoa...

Heather Jamieson -> :: Watches the goodies take off into the air with the greatest of ease... ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::taps the rock hard thing on the wall:: clunk clunk

Dr Tisa Sen -> KEep them for weapons Admiral

STSF_BluRox -> no, nothing else, sorry I've kept you from looking at the rocks...I assume they look something like this scone...

Christina_Nickles -> :: spills her coffee down the front of her::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::was just in the process of standing up as the shuttle stops abruptly; is tossed with a sharp jolt into the seat ahead of him::

Jameson Bardolph -> Ooff.

STSF_BluRox -> This reminds me of a basket of the things I was sent once from another ship, problem was, it took 4 months for it to reach me…and they were all like this when they arrived

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Last chance to say it...))

Heather Jamieson -> :: Looks at Christina :: Oh no. Are you alright?

Christina_Nickles -> ::coughs a bit from inhaling her coffee:: Now what

LtCmdrRobinson -> Who is driving this thing, my wife? Oh no, she is right here.

Christina_Nickles -> ::nods to Heather::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::stands up again, rubbing his shoulder:: What happened?

Ayumu Kasuga -> We stopped.

Christina_Nickles -> suddenly

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((Careful Will, you wouldn't want her to throw you out the door - you'd be crispy fried after 10 minutes))

STSF_BluRox -> ::really needing a nap, so drinks her tea::

Christina_Nickles -> They need to have seatbelts on this trip. You OK sir ::t Bardoph::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~Pause Sim~~~

Capt Rian Kwai -> ~~~Pause Sim~~~

Christina_Nickles -> ::paused::

Dr Tisa Sen -> ::pause::

STSF_BluRox -> Ok...any questions...line up and fire them at Rian

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((They had seatbelts. I bet you weren't paying attention to the emergency demonstration earlier))

Christina_Nickles -> LOL

STSF_BluRox -> She was playing words with friends during the demo

Jameson Bardolph -> ::pawsors::

Heather Jamieson -> Sadly the coffee did not

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused::

Christina_Nickles -> Shh not supposed to tell that

Capt Rian Kwai -> So if there are no questions........

Jameson Bardolph -> ((of course we crash during the one moment in the trip where i *wasn't* wearing my seatbelt :P ))

Heather Jamieson -> Words with Friend: Klingon Edition
