Tahna Meru Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Quote It hadn't occurred to her, until then, to perhaps entertain the notion that they were standing in a sacred place. In a place where the Prophets kept their unworthies for a time. The ropes were a bit much, but who was to question the will of the Prophets? If she had rope, she'd probably do the same rather than expend some of their extraterrestrial magic dangling the undeserving from the roof. 😂 @Jo Marshall sounds like maybe you could blame @Doz Finch for the predicament, she's the one who's been pestering them for a new pagh! 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Tahna Meru Posted October 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2023 Howdy Gorkonites! We made it to my favorite month, yay! Fall is fall-ing, cider is flowing, pumpkins are being eviscerated, and Halloween is just around the corner. It's the most wonderful time of the year! Last month's quote of the month was a tight race, with two thirds of the crew receiving a vote (mind-boggling, and proof that we're all funny as hell). But in the end, there can only be one winner... So please join me in congratulating the funniest peanut in the gallery, the Admiral herself! (Reynolds) Quinn smiled, wondering what Namura might make of their two new ensigns. Depending on how Ferrucci displayed his stubbornness, he might catch the acerbic end of her nature. Something to keep an eye on, perhaps. Both of them. Officers, not eyes. Well, maybe both of those, too. Congrats and well-earned, Skipper! Now, looking to the mission and the month ahead, everyone, say it with me: I will not actually join a cult. Got it? Good. Go forth and explore! Cheers, y'all! 6 1 Quote Link to comment
Tahna Meru Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Quote Stoyer(Storis): I thought we were going to learn? Cantus: Are you here to learn? All I’ve heard is how much you wish to go home. Though that is not an unusual request, you are an unusual group. Stoyer(Storis): Well, I tend to think for myself. and Quote Cantus: Now. Can I trust you to act sensibly, or… She trailed off, the guards didn’t move, but their presence told Greg enough. Tahna: We can mind our manners, right? This time it was Tahna who looked first at Cory, then at him, her head cocked as if she was broadcasting a secret message in his direction. He wasn’t a mindreader, though. Maybe the scientist didn’t know that. @Cory Stoyer and @Samira Neathler are so fun to write with and these bits had me cackling, but... 4 Quote Link to comment
Doz Finch Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Quote Bowers: I see.. Understood. Nevertheless, I suggest we switch our phasers to stun just to be safe. This should be treated as a hostile environment Commander. Jo shot her gaze toward him, the statement sending her eyes wide. Marshall: What setting do you usually keep them on, Mister Bowers? Existential dread? Edited October 13, 2023 by Doz Finch 2 Quote Link to comment
Alessandro Ferrucci Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Quote Warwick: Ok, so you guys went into the wormhole, pulled 'it' :: rolled his eyes toward the Operator :: , or its ship anyways. Now we are falling to our death? Vylaa rolled her eyes. They weren’t falling. They were falling with style. There was a difference. @Vylaa Of course we are 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Tahna Meru Posted November 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2023 Howdy Gorkonites! Wow, time flies when missions are going wrong! For the new folks, allow me to introduce you to the Gorkon's illustrious and long-standing Quote of the Month competition! Every month I compile all the sim quotes that made me giggle, pick one for each player, and send out a poll for the ship to choose a Quote of the Month. Everyone is welcome to submit quotes for the poll (you know where to find me!), everyone gets to vote, and every month there's a winner's badge and bragging rights for our champion wordsmith. This month, the winner isssss.... Ferrucci: Copy that. I’ll try not to cause a singularity that will destroy the univ- ::coughing:: Ehm, yes I will...uhm...proceed. Congratulations, Ensign, on your first win! And thank you for not actually creating a universe-destroying singularity this time. Cheers, y'all! 4 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Tahna Meru Posted December 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2023 Howdy Gorkonites! It's the end of November, and we've got holidays just around the corner waiting to pounce. So in the spirit of the season, this month's Quote of the Month announcement is a little different... But first, we've got new folks on board, so let me explain! The Gorkon is home to an illustrious and long-standing Quote of the Month competition. Every month I compile all the sim quotes that made me giggle, pick one for each player, and send out a poll for the ship to choose a Quote of the Month. Everyone is welcome to nominate quotes for the poll (here, email, or Discord, you know where to find me!), everyone gets to vote, and every month there's a winner's badge and bragging rights for our champion wordsmith. Now, you've waited long enough. October's winner isssss.... Marshall: What setting do you usually keep them on, Mister Bowers? Existential dread? Everyone congratulate Jo on being the funniest in the Gamma Quadrant, and thank Torvi Ylvor for the amazing new badge! Also, a quick congratulations to all our new Ensigns on surviving their first mission (I know it's not quite over yet, so please don't prove me wrong in the final hour)! I'll see you all around on shore leave. Cheers, y'all! 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Tahna Meru Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 Howdy Gorkonites! Happy New Year! We've survived the holidays and Sargasso V, both feats worthy of a good drink and a pat on the back. So, cheers, and hurrah! Now all you have to worry about is not freezing to death on Andoria--that should be easy, right? Of course, if you don't survive, you can always pass your katra/symbiote/etc on...well, unless your species doesn't work like that. Uh, RIP. With that, our November Quote of the Month winner is... Ylvor: If we perhaps get killed, then we will probably have a bet to see which one of us gets a better looking host next time around. I'll have to get a new wardrobe... again. Congratulations, Kyle! I hope you like your badge, since...well, you made it. 😉 Enjoy shore leave, everyone! Cheers, y'all! 3 3 Quote Link to comment
Tahna Meru Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Quote Samira leaned back in her chair. Dinosaurs, rogue planets, jumping time zones. Something simple would be nice. Still, that was very unlikely to happen. The wishful thinking is strong in this one @Samira Neathler 3 Quote Link to comment
Tahna Meru Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Rereading @Doz Finch's sim to reply to it and giggling over this exchange all over again: Quote Tahna: Yeah, jin’sarra is more like coffee, and— ::Meru frowned.:: Hold on, you gambled with Tali? And you still have all your organs? Finch: Yes! Then again, she’s a smart woman so I suppose I wouldn’t notice if any were missing. 4 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Tahna Meru Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 Quote Jo grinned, the small niggle at the back of her head reminding her that—excluding Tahna, the rest of the Gorkon's command structure was cheerfully skating on thin ice, quite literally. There they'd be, the brass, transformed into frozen statues in a subterranean glacial gallery. Slightly sobering thought. Figuring the Prophets would be listening at some juncture, and seeing as Tahna was Bajoran, Jo sent a winged prayer upwards they'd come through this alive, or if they didn't, the young Bajoran would sprout several more arms and a brain the size of a Vorta's to cope. 1 4 Quote Link to comment

Tahna Meru Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Quote Marshall: You can say that again. After years of watching Quinn do it, I've realised it's a diplomatic smile and gestures that say "we come in peace" but also, "we have photon torpedoes just in case". Just-In-Case Torpedoes is my favorite kind of diplomacy! @Jo Marshall 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Tahna Meru Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Quote …it was only a fleeting thought, (one departure due to medical, a second to share the first's experiences...) but if it didn’t make his pulse say, “hey buddy, you can’t use the cardiac inducer on yourself.” I love how @Bryce Tagren-Quinn captured mood and tone in this sim, especially here, with some humor-coated anxiety. 😆 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Tahna Meru Posted February 7 Popular Post Share Posted February 7 Quote Gnaxac: You say that, b-b-b-but Commander Sevo was a v-v-very hands-on scientist. I d-d-don’t know if she’s ever t-t-t-told you, but she punched a dinosaur once. That’s m-m-most hands-on. Finch: She punched a dinosaur? She paused, eyebrows like two hunger caterpillars pressing together as though fighting for the last morsel of leaf. She suddenly visualised it in her mind; one of their resident Mission Specialists, swinging her arm around as though it were a flail, and then thumping a tyrannosaurus rex square on its nose. Not complete of course without wiping her spots down afterwards. She’d have to find more out about that, get the nitty gritty details of it. Gnaxac: Well, she d-d-doesn’t mention it much. Just every d-d-day for the last f-f-five years. @Genkos Adea @Doz Finch @Ayiana Sevo 😆 1 6 Quote Link to comment
Genkos Adea Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Quote Finch: I’m glad to see you haven’t got a concussion and can still remember things, Lieutenant. ::She said, impishly grinning.:: But…hang on a minute. You had holo-addiction!? Gnaxac: Worse! I d-d-died; eaten by a d-d-dinosaur. ::pause:: I g-g-got better. She paused what she was doing and blinked a few times. More than a few times, actually. Then she lowered her head and stared at him, trying to decipher the connection he’d made…before she fell into hearty laughter. Finch: On second thought, maybe you have got a concussion. ::She snorted.:: Here! Swap places with me, would you. I can’t seem to move that thingy over to the other loopdeloo. @Doz Finch Hysterical response 1 3 Quote Link to comment
Tahna Meru Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Howdy Gorkonites! "Wait, December? But it's nearly March!" I know, I know, don't worry about it, we're gonna catch up and you'll all get your shiny badges. Promise. On that note, allow me to present December's wittiest wordsmith... Gnaxac: I d-d-don’t know anything about what the humans call f-f-feng shui, but engineers are experts at getting big things into small spaces. ::he blushed:: In engineering I m-m-mean. Congrats, @Genkos Adea! I'm always glad to see our engineers putting their expertise to work. Keep an eye out for a fresh Quote of the Month poll or two from me this week, and enjoy the remainder of shore leave! 2 2 Quote Link to comment
