Funny things heard on the USS Gorkon


Recommended Posts

Quote

The three of them remained hanging there, draped from the ceiling (maybe)

Then it left, leaving the hapless trio dangling from the could-be-roof 


Made me chuckle. We may never know! 😂 @Jo Marshall

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!

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.

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...

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?

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 🤣

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

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.

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

…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. 😆

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

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!
