Sal Taybrim Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Quote Taelon: I’m sure it makes things interesting, sir. ::He certainly hadn’t imagined he’d be sitting at a table with a Gorn and a 6 year old, anyway. The Academy didn’t let you in on that sort of reality, did it?:: I'ma just leave this right here... 1 Quote
Sal Taybrim Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Also, this whole exchange: Quote Anders: Flynn is my First Officer. Two Risians in command of a Star Ship. ::Taelon bit down on his tongue before he could comment. His father had told him a joke once that’d started with that line, and he was not going to retell it. To anyone. HIs smile strained around the edges just slightly, and his tone dropped to the deadpan one of someone trying extremely hard not to be sarcastic.:: Taelon: Sounds like a wild ride, sir. Whittaker: :: mock grimacing :: On second thought, I may find myself coming down a case of the Tamarian flu. 2 Quote

+ Trellis Vondaryan Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 This had me giggling: Quote ::Tatash smiled serenely, reaching for his conversational wooden spoon with a delightful relish.::Tatash: Have you had the chance to meet Commander Anders family yet? 3 Quote
+ Talia Ohnari Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Tatash raises a valid question: Whittaker’s(Whitikari? Whitopode?): What IS the correct plural of Whittaker? Quote
Sal Taybrim Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I'm loving the conversation developing between Zinna and Mrs Whittaker! A few gems: Quote M. Whittaker: By all means, they are his parents now. :: beat :: It may be an overreaction but after hearing what he went through and what I know of Tilanna, I want to take the Orb Of Prophecy and flatten that cesspool. Quote Zinna: ::she smiled at Madeline:: You're a mother. I'm a mother. We both know you can't just drop a kid off at school and put food in front of it. 2 Quote
+ Trellis Vondaryan Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 By the time I get around to reading all these great sims (usually morning, my time) you all have put up the same quotes I was going to post! Great minds do think alike! I also really enjoyed the conversation between Zinna and Captain Whittaker. Although I do have a different view on parenting now. I was so looking forward to just dropping one off at school and feeding it and nothing else! (And this is why I don't have, nor ever will have, kids.) Quote
+ Talia Ohnari Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 pNPC P.Ens Zel Rohan - Glimmer of Hope I just want to point out the entire exchange between Zel, Falcon and Vondaryan proves I will never be as cool as those three. 2 Quote
Sal Taybrim Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Taelon is obviously a keen student of Starfleet chair design: Quote Abruptly, the ship lurched wildly; Taelon caught himself on the side of the science console’s viewfinder, teetering at the edge of his chair. The old style of chair certainly didn’t have as many stops to it as the current ones did, he reflected. Now he knew why armrests were all the rage these days… A wonderful little 'fourth-wall' nod 2 Quote
Sal Taybrim Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Quote Computer: Musical mode engaged. ::No sooner than it finished speaking did the introduction to Pirates of Penzance begin to play.:: Greyson: ::Quietly.:: ...Oops... ::and then busted up laughing maniacally for about 8 seconds.:: No, honest! I didn't sabotage anyth...::Hiccup!::..anything. I admit, I was snickering wildly by the end of this... 1 Quote
Sal Taybrim Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 My husband wandered in tonight asking "WHAT are you laughing at?!" Answer: pretty much every post today was wonderful! Though most recently the line that had me in giggle fits: Quote Flynn: You know, the Klingons should really try this, it’s very relaxing. ::His mind drifted away as he began to ramble.:: They are always so uptight, has anyone ever tried to date one? Psh, I prefer Federation girls.... I'm picturing Romeo and Juliet, but Romeo is Flynn and Juliet is a lovely Klingon lady... 2 Quote
Sal Taybrim Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Also... Quote Taelon: Play them Aktuh and Maylota. They’ve already parked within kissing distance. Might as well make the relationship official. ::gazes at his console:: and did you know that Candy Crush will still plague us in the 23rd Century?? Quote Trel’lis: Whatcha lookin’ for? ‘Candy Crush’? ‘Tetris’? man, I can't pick favorite quotes... they're all too good... 2 Quote

Quote Whittaker: I ssssshould totally become a prof- prof- profiterole! :: he began cackling when he realised he had gotten the word wrong :: No! Not profiterole! Professional! I should become a professional singer! 1 Quote
Sal Taybrim Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Proof positive that the Ops crew loves to tempt fate: Quote Flynn: I'm not sure I would have thought of that...::He lifted his head and smiled confidently.:: Not to worry! We will use our wit, personality and charm! What could go wrong....? ::He decided not to ponder too much on that.:: 2 Quote
