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

From @Wil Ukinix
QuoteKeehani: The Klingons here are the old fashioned Klingons that hate the Federation- ::correcting herself:: Terrans. They’re just as dangerous as the Betazoids, ::small scowl:: I can’t believe I just said that.

From a JP by @Wil Ukinix and @Robin Hopper
QuoteUkinix: 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.

From @Robin Hopper
QuoteUkinix: *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.

Ooo, send a message to @Jo Marshall! She's the facilitator of the FNS team these days.

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.

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

Let's kick off our new quotes thread with some inspiration:
QuoteRivi Vataix: What is the Federation and what does it mean to individual planets and species? Here on Betazed, we have grappled with our relation to the Federation and what if any is its relation to our Betazoid identity since the end of the Dominion War and the Ohmallera attack. It becomes easy at times to think of the Federation as a distant entity, focusing only its capital lightyears away. But the Federation is not defined by a location. It is defined by a set of principles--principles that all its members share and recognize as the foundation for peaceful and prosperous relationships that transcend distance, culture, and species.
It is this set of principles that we now venture forth into the Delta Quadrant, not as an Alpha Quadrant power trying to expand its reach but as a coalition of over a hundred species seeking to connect with others and learn from each other. Since the Federation’s founding over two centuries ago, we’ve shown how mutual understanding and cooperation is possible even amongst former foes. Today, we follow in the footsteps of our forebears who brought sentient lifeforms together to talk to, trade with, and help one another. It is their dream that we are so privileged to be living now, and it is our duty to continue the work.And insight:
QuoteWong: Huh. That’s interesting. Well. Since I’m responsible for the health of my representatives, I reserve the right to pull them on medical grounds. Which if that ends up being the case, I volunteer to take their place in the Ritual.
Carter: Mister Wong….I have made a command decision. You will either respect that decision or consider your self relieved from duty. Is that clear?
Sahim looked at the two officers dealing with their conflict and began to wonder if it was a good idea to trust them when they seem to be so far apart.
@Ikaia Wong, @Hannibal Parker, @Falina Suribana
And of course, some out of context:
QuoteAleksandrov: You can learn a lot from poo, Commander

From "Commodore, If You Please"
QuoteRahman: 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.

From @Blake
QuoteBecause 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…
QuoteKallo: 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.
