  1. A nice exchange between @Wil Ukinix and @Nathan Richards

    Quote

     

    Richards: I understand that the actions I performed were a breach of proper protocol, sir, but I need you to understand what exactly happened.

    Ukinix: ::Gesturing to crate:: Take a seat.

    Nathan glanced down at the crate, but didn’t move to sit down. He wasn’t sure what the Commander was doing, but he didn’t feel like now was the right time to sit down.

    Richards: Sir, given my one research and my inability at the time to properly communicate with Lieutenant Reade, I made the hasty decision of implementing the option that would require the least amount of power at the risk of limited functionality. 

    Nathan relaxed his posture slightly as another crate was set another crate about a meter away from Nathan and the crate behind him. He considered Wil to be his friend, and he didn’t like having to be so high strung in this situation. He hope that maybe coming at the situation a little more relaxed might help Wil relax and they could have a more civilized conversation.

    Richards: I had the Denali Invitational breathing down my neck and no shuttle to use. I’m sorry, but there just wasn’t time to try and get the proper clearances and permissions.

    Ukinix: ::Gesturing:: Really, mate, take a seat.

    Nathan hesitated for a moment, before he took a seat on the crate and leaned forward slightly. He felt like he knew what the Commander was going to say, but continued on himself…

    Richards: I know, I know. Procedure. But you can’t tell me there wasn’t a time where you made a split second decision without following protocol. 

    Wil smirked a little and rolled his eyes, sitting back slightly for a moment.

    Ukinix: Guilty as charged.

    He leaned forward again.

    Ukinix: But I was “*Ensign* Ukinix” back then, Lieutenant.

    The distinguishing factor between “Ensign” and “Lieutenant” wasn’t lost on Nathan. As a Lieutenant, Nathan was expected to maintain his responsibilities and set a good example for the Ensigns. To be a leader and show them what was expected of them by following orders. He grimaced slightly as he thought about what kind of example He was setting for Ensign Esma while she stood there in that very shuttlebay when he decided to disobey his orders and activate the replicator. Let alone what the others thought that had been present…

    Ukinix: Everything you said makes sense, and I understand why you did it. But all it would have taken was a tap on ::quick point:: that combadge of yours. “Commander Ukinix, due to unforeseen circumstances I’m going to have to install the Blackwood Industries vehicle replicator.” Or something like that. I’d rather have known up front than not known at all. Rules can be broken, but communication can’t.

  2. I love bits of wordplay, including this one from @Robin Hopper:

    Quote

    The Paak medical facilities had been abysmal. First of all, they were hardly up to the standard that Robin was accustomed to – but she could have grinned and bore the poking and prodding with needles and ionizing radiation scans… if the room hadn’t been so cold. It was as if these people had invented space travel before they’d invented the space heater.

  3. From a JP by @Wil Ukinix and @Robin Hopper

    Quote

     

    Ukinix: Another question.  Why did Rivi’s mum do it?  Why is she stopping the wedding?

    Keehani shared a glance with Tri’lea, before looking back at Wil.

    Keehani: We don’t know.  ::slight smirk, to Tri’lea:: Maybe she’s going through The Phase or something.

    Polgonz: ::Rolling her eyes::  Ugh, as if that would turn her into a duplicitous snake. More likely it’s her nature.

    Despite her words, Tri’lea was keenly aware of the fact that she was the one actively spitting venom. She would need to be more cautious with her thoughts in mixed company. At least here, with only Keehani and Wil, she could be honest.

    Ukinix: What’s “The Phase”?

    Keehani turned to *glare* at Wil like the off-worlder that he sometimes was.

    Polgonz: ::Sarcastically::  You’ll find out when you’re older.

  4. From @Robin Hopper

    Quote

     

    Ukinix: *Another* bloody matriarch?  They must grow on trees or something.  That’s weird, Keehani didn’t tell me.

    Arthur turned to look at Wil conspiratorially and tipped his hat back on his head.

    Summerside: I don’t think she knew. I don’t think any of them knew. When I left the Ambassador’s office, they were in the middle of a meeting – then Lady Polecat (or whatever her name is) and the Queen of Betazed stroll up like they owned the place.

  5. From @Rebecca Iko comes this lovely prose, playing on a metaphor we've established now for Betazoids and Betazed society:

    Quote

     

    ((Club Avandar, Rixx, Betazed))

    It wasn't common for the 2nd house daughter to participate in activities such as "clubbing", but as a noble, she represented Betazed's population - particularly that of the sciences department, and her sibling had brought up a very good point at lunch earlier that day too - "The job of a Betazed noble is to appeal to the public eye, and many nobles fail to do so properly, because they don't truly know who they must appeal to." 

    Yes, Daughter Deexila Etraax was here for research purposes.

    Richards: ::smiling:: It was a pleasure.

    Her attention was swiftly attuned towards the vocal conversation within the club, picking it out amidst the deafening music like a rose from a thornbush.

    Although in this case it seemed the rose and thorn had switched places.

  6. Snippet of a conversation between @Ikaia Wong and @Wil Ukinix:

    Quote

     

    Wong: So wait. You don’t remember our talk in the merchant district?

    Will tapped his chin for a moment.

    Ukinix: Well I can’t remember.

    Wong: What about the medical shotgun incident?

    Ukinix: Nnnnup, can’t remember that either.

    Of course, he had read the reports of it since his rejoining, but he couldn’t actually remember the events surrounding it that he was involved in.

    This time it was Wong’s turn to drum his fingers on his chin.

    Wong: Okaaaay…. How about his one - on Idrustix, you brought over my old hiking boots er… the ones covered in well…. "You vomit" and actually set them out for me to find at our campsite as a prank. Do you remember that?

    Ukinix: ::Shaking head:: Nope, not that – wait, did you make that one up?

    Wong: Nope. You actually did do that. Ukinix, it’s a bad thing when you can’t even remember pranking me. This is worrying. I’m worried.

  8. From "Commodore, If You Please"

    Quote

     

    Rahman: Are you two still an item?

    Aron considered answering with a kiss, but Roshanara also would remember his habit of a friendly kiss for any of his crew who received a promotion or an award. It would not answer her question. 

    Del, however, beamed and embraced Aron for a moment.

    del Vedova: Space husbands!

    Rahman: ::shaking head:: Naturally.

     

    That's the most Del response I couldn't have even imagined, @Tony, aka Kells.

  9. From @Blake

    Quote

    Because he'd done so a handful of times, at this specific moment in every attempt to hand him off to other authorities. First, he escaped his cuffs because of his uniquely silky hands -- he claimed he just moisturizes really well. Then, he ran off with the cuffs on.

    Also…

    Quote

     

    Kallo: Our time together finally comes to an end. It hardly feels like five years at all.

    Blake: It's been six, actually.

    Kallo: Oh I don't count the year without Captain Ramen. That's all just backstory, no one actually saw any of that.

     

    ::snort::
