An Admiral with the personal survival instincts of a drunken lemming.

@Quinn Reynolds - I admittedly had to SB118 Wiki search Brunsig after he was mentioned in Discord, and then this gem appears on the groups a bit later. Goodness!!! 😂

Vorin looked up at the pregnant woman before him and reasoned with himself that she was neither monster (though, arguments could be made) nor the source of his torment.

@Jo Marshall's Vorin has no chill... at all 😆

Fortune: We’ve already been dragged into it a few times, it’s a miracle right now that whatever’s been doing it hasn’t stepped foot in here.

Maybe the thing was just as terrified, or respectful, of Brunsig.

 

Everyone is scared of him @Corlisseven the ghost 💯

It seemed someone aced Inspiring Speeches 101 at the Academy.  

 

@Tahna Meru always know the coolest courses in the academy 😂

He could only imagine dealing with rabid targs was more calming to the soul. 

Context may be everything, but this is funny enough on its own too! Nice, @Jo Marshall!! 😂

The Rodulan was usually so laid back he was practically horizontal...

 

The scene was so DRAMATIC and suddenly this sentence has pulled a guffaw out of me, thanks @Quinn Reynolds

@Jo Marshall's Kero Rix is a joy to read 🤣

[Alieth]

Quote

Lox turned and the air seemed to freeze in his throat as he laid eyes on the thing. It was like the worst Rorschach test ever had been granted malevolent life.

 

Ok this is a hell of mental image, thanks Lox @Hutch , i hate It 🤣

[Alieth]

thanks @Jo Marshall, i hate you, I've spilled water through my nose reading this 🤣

Kero: =/\= Beming it out into space, you mean. Kick out anything that resembles metal or components, and hope it doesn't mistake the Vulcan for a computer. =/\=

 

[Alieth]

I know the full sim is already here but @Corlissthis, just this, out of context

 

Quote

Oh, to be Quinn coming back to find out her counselor had scratched up her husband with her nails.

Hopefully he’d forgive her for that.

The computer core whined in protest as it laboriously shot through lights and emitters faster than a speeding Stoyer at a singles night,

@Jo Marshall how could you make me laugh at Chris's sim, this is serious!

Alieth: =/\= Pet her, scratch her ears. Tell her she is a good girl. That is how canine works=/\=

 

Quote

She contemplated composing a memo to Admiral Reynolds asking for permission to leave Cheesecake behind on the nearest planet, but ultimately decided that the optics of that information disseminating through the decks would not be good. 

@Alieth and @Lephi I can already tell y'all are gonna kill me laughing at this scene. 

[Alieth]

Walter need a thread for himself imho @Quinn Reynolds😂

You were sleeping, so I’ve taken Scout to the holodeck for a couple of hours. Dylan will be back for dinner. He’s gone off with JEEZ NO DAD SHE’S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND.

Hah.

Did danger follow Quinn Reynolds and her crew?

 

Ummm, i guess? Well, indeed! @Bryce Tagren-Quinn 🙈

Bryce glanced over to the other man, who was ruggedly handsome and muscular by Terran standards and dressed in flannel. He couldn’t recall a name right then.

 

Strayer? No, Stormbreaker, maybe? 

@Bryce Tagren-Quinn

[Alieth]

i could hear EXACTLY @Cory Stoyersaying this and it's hilarious in my head XD

Quote

 

Tagren-Quinn: Are you telling me that chaos is a typical day, then?

 

Cory could not resist.

 

Stoyer: Son, you don’t know the half of it.

I forgot to post this when I read the sim. @Tahna Meru must be secretly part of the Starfleet recruiting team. 😄

Quote

It was probably in the job description. “Are holonovel action heroes modeled after you? Then join Starfleet Security and become a defender of the galaxy!”

He smiled and rotated around slightly at the sound of the Adonis-looking Trill man’s voice. The man with the arms that seemed bigger than his own thighs.

Tan: ::Nodding in agreement:: Yeah. Just Serren is fine for everyone. Especially now! We're here to relax!

Indeed they were. The jovial man was wise.

 

@Bryce Tagren-Quinn This is just fantastic. The jovial man was wise. 😆

Intellectually, he knew the catwalk (why was it called that?) was more than strong enough to hold half-a-dozen Pahkwa-thanhs, but the creaking still never made him feel comfortable.

Catwalk indeed. 😄 @Ayiana Sevo

The Admiral… Well, Vylaa had no idea what Admirals did in their downtime. Read? Sleep?

Throw stuff at non-coms?

@Vylaa I don't know where you heard that rumor but it is almost completely unfounded!

Serren trusted the reassurance and nodded obligingly. Space was why they were up here in the mountains after all, and there was no shortage of it available. If the guy was okay, and he just wanted some time alone, that was entirely reasonable.

It was a paradoxical thing, but people who lived in space sometimes needed... space. And he was more than willing to give it.

@Alleran Tan - this is absolutely perfect! People in space do need space sometimes.

That was part of what StarFleet was, you are assigned a problem, they tell you how to solve it, then everything blows up and you pick up the pieces and try to get home alive.

Well said, @Meidra Sirin!

For a long moment, there was silence. Just the two of them in the Jeffries Tube, one struggling to hold back tears, and the other staring at the first one with beady, unblinking eyes. 
 

Watanabe: ::gently:: arf
 

What was she trying to say? Lephi wished the universal translator was programmed to parse canine language. Another big sigh escaped her mouth. She continued to pet the dog, willing herself to stay composed.
 

Lephi: ::clears throat:: Right then. Thank you for bringing me the SCM III. Big help.

I wouldn't place this under the "funny" column, but I've been touched by the interaction between Lephi and Cheesecake. This is adorable and emotional, profound at the same time. Wonderfully done. @Lephi & @Alieth
