    Glucose... he had heard that before. Wasn't that sugar or something? He remembered that someone mentioned high glucose and Georgio had thought it meant the person was sweet. Maybe he had heard that when listening to Mark when the other hologram was working. Some time during a visit in Sick Bay. High stress made people sweet? Biologicals were weird. He had heard of coma before, that was bad. Did being sweet make comas? How did Mark understand all this? 

    Very carefully, Georgio.  That's how

    Sera:  I seek clarification on one of your previous comments.  “Vulcans and Romulans are more alike than either care to admit.”  As I am relatively certain your comment is not regarding the biological similarities, what exactly were you referring to, Lieutenant Sherlock? 

     
    Oh how The Game was still afoot. Aine forced herself not to grin. The door swished open and they began the last leg of their journey to an Engineering lab. It was time to see if she could put this Vulcan on edge.
     

    Sherlock: Simply an offhanded observation is all. Why? oOFeel something dammit!Oo

    Sera:  I ask because I find myself…curious as to your motives for making such a statement.  To a Vulcan such a comment might be seen as an attempt at insult.  

    Sherlock: That sounds like a Vulcan problem. You see, Romulans, as you know, aren't far removed from Vulcans. Not enough to be evolutionarily different. And I think most Vulcans don't want to admit that they're more similar than they are different. Which is, contrary to what most would assume of Vulcans, ego. ::letting it float in the air for a minute:: No offense intended, it's just a theory.

    LOVING the banter between these two!!

  3. I'm enjoying reading this scene unfold, not just because of the action, but because of the feelings between the characters involved!  ❤️
     
    ((Poacher Camp, Bajor))
    The situation with Umadi and her poachers had escalated. Garrett, Umadi’s second in command, had been killed, and Ferri and Aine had fled into the forest.
    They had found refuge in a ditch - at least for the time being, but the footsteps of those Umadi had sent after them were steadily getting louder.
    It reminded Ferri of one of her training scenarios, where her aim had been not to be found until sunrise. She had failed twice before actually succeeding, and she had succeeded because she had decided to attack rather than stay hidden.
    Emlott: Aine, I think we need to shoot.
    Sherlock: I think we just need to hide. Wait it out.
    She shook her head. Time wasn’t on their side, and the poachers had already showcased extensive equipment available to them.
    Emlott: They can get devices to see temperature.
    Multiple footsteps were getting closer and closer.
    Sherlock: Ok, do you know what an ambush is? ::beat:: Nevermind, of course you do.
    Aine's tone was almost scolding, and Ferri blinked. Yes, she knew, but why was Aine mad about it?
    Emlott: Yes… what is your plan?
    Sherlock: If you get up to that ridge on the right, I'll move back in this grove a bit. When they get to here ::pointing to the ridge above them:: I'll shoot at them from cover and try to draw them down here. Then, you let them have it.
    Emlott: And what about a better hiding place?
    Preferably for Aine. Ferri didn't want Aine to get hurt.
    Sherlock: We'll worry about finding a safe spot once we eliminate the immediate threat. Ready?
    Emlott: Ready.
    Aine made her way deeper into the shallow grove, and Ferri made her way to the ridge Aine had pointed out. When it came to natural night-vision, Ferri had a clear advantage over most other species, but the dropped temperature made it exceedingly unpleasant to move.
    Ferri waited for Aine’s signal, and it came in the form of phaser fire impacting on the lower ridge. The three poachers - Ferri was sure that a fourth one was missing - pointed into the direction Aine has hiding, and two of them hastily made their way there. The third stayed back, saying something about ‘guarding their rear’, but didn’t actually seem eager to guard anything.
    He knelt down to tie an open shoelace, and that’s when Ferri - how had Aine said it? - ambushed him. The poacher didn’t turn around until Ferri had closed the distance between them and thrust the phaser into his chest before she fired. He didn't even get to scream.
    Emlott: :to herself:: One down.
    Ferri hated this. She didn’t want to be like this, and she was grateful that Garo never sent her on these kind of assignments. For a split second, her sense of self-preservation kicked in, and she considered to flee while she had the chance. She liked Aine, but she was fairly sure that Aine didn’t like her back. The two of them barely talked since her return.
    But Ferri didn’t want to leave her behind. As a matter of fact, as stupid as it was, she decided that she didn’t want to leave anyone behind. Ever.
    Quietly she followed the other two poachers, who were just a few feet away from Aine’s hiding spot. There was no sneaking up quietly on those two, and so Ferri did what was reasonable - she fired.
    The phaser fire was bright and blinding, and the woman crumbled to the floor. Her companion howled in rage and began to charge towards Ferri, whose phaser - just at this moment - decided that it had worked long enough.

    As the good doctor approached the  lieutenant, Sill-con realized it would be ideal to arm himself with a weapon in case any threats rear their vile heads.

    That is in fact a very good idea.
    I also really like the way this is phrased, it made me grin while reading!

    The team was making significant progress. Now that Ivin’s data wasn’t mysteriously vanishing or corrupting, or his lab wasn’t being trashed or robbed, or any other various uncoincidental mishaps. Ivin was very unhappy that what had taken him months with his current tech level and whatever hindrances occurred, this little rag-tag team managed in a few hours. He was a little salty about it. Or a lot.

    how salty?  >.>

    It was exciting and somewhat therapeutic for Ray to run through the
    setup procedure that he had executed 1000 times in the academy, part of
    him wished he existed in a time when a lab consisted of beakers, Bunsen
    burners, chemicals, and potions of all types. Sure, that time was
    romanticized a bit, but it did not stop him from wishing he was there.

     

    Soft jazz by the light of a Bunsen burner... I just love the imagery!  Bravo @Kabuki-kai!
