Alieth: The other one, well, miss Tahna…::Only when she verified that she had the young woman's undivided attention did she continue.:: and if you ever trespass into my quarters again... I will yeet you off the starship through the nearest airlock myself.

@Alieth I'm dead, deceased, broken down into atoms and scattered across the universe.

Gasp! @Tahna Meru!! 😳

Tsk, tsk, @Alieth! I thought doctors weren’t supposed to do any harm 😂

All this gold in one sim, Asra! 😂

Quote

Tagren-Quinn: I’m not much on weaponry myself. I had a hard time with phasers, honestly.

Asra: Then you might have preferred one of the improvised weapons, the long-hypospray, also known as the hypospray-on-a-stick. 

Tagren-Quinn/Sirin: Response

Asra: It's a hypospray on a stick. I don't know what else to tell you.

If there was a lesson taught that day other than "don't fight anyone in power armor without a weapon", ze hadn't learned it. Possibly the lesson had more to do with learning to lose; ze was suspicious the lesson was actually "it is hilarious to watch a bunch of cadets go from arrogantly challenging an idiot in metal armor to scurrying in fear when they realized they were going to get their asses handed to them", which would explain why Professor Zeme had brought popcorn. 

Quote

Asra: I assume it's somewhat the same for you? Like do you ever come back from a conference going "Man, now that I know this cool eye-growing technique, I really hope someone gets their eye gouged out?"

@Alieth - I'm dying 😂

Quote

She shook her head slightly and took a sip from her glass as people milled about on the makeshift dance floor, some doing a slow, rhythmic dance display with their partners, while others wiggled a little spasmodically in one corner, as if they'd had a fit of an odd type of chorea. One of the most chaotic of the lot was young Dr. Tagren-Quinn, who seemed to be all legs and left arms and not a hint of coordination in them in the Vulcan's eyes.

She let out a low snort. At least it seemed his back was as good as new.

zh’Tisav: I saw a film like this once. Someone’s going on a quest...

 

((Later – Cockpit - USS Kerla))

 

zh’Tisav: oO ...I didn’t mean me specifically. Oo

 

@Vylaa heheheh

[Samira Neathler]

@Tahna Meru Hah. 😂

Tahna: I’m cross-checking the data we have with other rogue and recently-disappeared planets. Honestly, how do you lose a whole planet? 

 

Under less serious circumstances, she might have laughed. She imagined a lonely Starfleeter at an isolated research outpost, face awash with confusion. “Hey, anyone seen Barnard 563b lately? I took a nap and it seems to have wandered off.”

@Jo Marshall-  😂

 

Quote

O. Marshall: What about their mental state? Stuck down there for twenty-five years, that's if anyone is still alive. Fortune, what precautions do we need to take, aside from weapons-grade air freshener?

Reynolds: The perils of failing to check down the back of your sofa. ::Dry as a bone. She shook her head.:: I don’t know. If it was in or near the Demilitarised Zone during the war, perhaps it escaped notice with everyone so focused on the conflict.

@Quinn Reynolds Sofas, man! They'll eat anything. 

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

@Corliss-IKR?! The snacks 😭

 

Quote

Looking above showed…well…not fireworks.

A planet. Just. There. Just there where none had been there before.
 
She stared above as everyone else started moving, slowly, still shocked by the sudden turn of events before urgency took them over.

…well…there went the snacks.

 

[Samira Neathler]

@Vylaa 😁 Could land the shuttle on the shooters instead. 😉

Quote

zh’Tisav: We were hit from starboard, best keep going to port! oO You know, away from the shooting!Oo

 

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

@Cory Stoyer!! 

Quote

Stoyer:  Thank you for flying Stoyer airlines…please thank your stewardess on the way out.

 

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

@Vylaa 😂

Quote

She wouldn’t mind some escape planning. Her first real mission and she got captured in the first hour... Really damn embarrassing…

 

 

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

Love this @Jo Marshall, @Corliss & @Vylaa

Quote

zh’Tisav: Please tell me you popped the hatch.

 

O. Marshall: Not me. I thought you did.

 

zh'Tisav reached for her phaser and Bear did the same, unholstering it from the thigh strap and lifting it up to the entrance. The weight familiar in the palm of his hand, reassuring almost, and at the point of death, quite helpful. 

 

zh’Tisav: Ooooh, I hope that’s Starfleet…

 

Fortune: …maybe it’s the Kerla doing it automatically as a safety measure, or… something? I don’t feel anyone out there.

 

O. Marshall: What's the chances it's Starfleet? A million to one?

Loved this, Asra & @Samira Neathler

Asra: I’m definitely going to need a hat. ::ze started looking for a simple forehead-covering that wouldn’t look out of place.::

Too bad they had no access to Loxley’s elaborate cap collection. Maybe he’d have the perfect cap, one that carried the words: No Boring Forehead.

 

[Tahna Meru]

Howdy Gorkonites!

 

 

::Cue evil cackling.::

 

It's been a hot minute since you voted on July's Quote of the Month winner, hasn't it? Have you been waiting with bated breath to see how this incredible three-way tie would be broken? I know, I know, the suspense has been terrible (did you hope it would last?). 

 

Well, good news at last! As your benevolent Quote of the Month Overlord, in my supreme kindness and generosity and thanks to my wonderful, giving spirit, I am pleased to declare not one, not two, but all three of the tied quotes as winners! Is it the wedding excitement getting to me, making me want to give back to folks, or is this just my innate perfection? 

 

Yeah, it's definitely my innate perfection. Anyway, I proudly present your July winners!

 

(Fortune) Was…Was Quinn a dragon in disguise? No, no. …she would’ve said by now.

 

 

(Tahna) Alieth wanted an explanation, not a sacrifice. …Probably.

 

 

(Asra) oO If I could find where the field controls are, I could murder the entire crew by disabling.... oh,crap, I hope there aren't any telepaths in the crew. HI TELEPATHS I WAS NOT PLANNING TO MURDER THE CREW I AM JUST CONCERNED FOR SHIP SAFETY. Oo

 

 

Congrats folks! Enjoy your shiny new badges and bragging rights. And now Alieth can stop calling me terrible, since obviously, I am very generous and also, like, the best. 

 

Cheers, y'all!

Catching a lot of SIMs afters these weeks out and SWEET SURAK BEAR @Jo Marshall 😂

 

Quote

Did she mean "gravely" or "gravelly"? The hills ahead of them looked like they could be strewn with loose detritus and rocks ready to cause slippage and a workplace incident, but also as if they housed the dead bodies of several hundred Starfleet officers and enlisted, sent there to defend a rogue moon from invading forces. Starfleet baffled him sometimes. 

 

[Alieth]

@CorlissNO!

 

Quote

Today was…Thursday, wasn’t it? Her sluggish brain sleepily opened its mental calendar with a yawn as she flipped invisible pages. Ensign Pobol had a session at 0900, Cheesecake needed to be dyed purple at 1000, Lieutenant Yarhal had awewapwa..weaewa…awepalwan…

 

[Samira Neathler]

Lena is on a roll it seems. 😁 @Quinn Reynolds

Quote

But there was no sign of anyone. Better than finding corpses, or people bleeding out and missing important body parts.

Quote

While she’d learnt a few tricks from him, on Darime and other expeditions, she was a creature of urban environments, as out of place in the wilds as a tribble in the chambers of the Klingon High Council.

Quote

Yeah, teenager was the word they used for the sullen semi-grown members of their species. Maybe an older one. Still a brat.

 

OMG @Vylaa 😂

[Samira Neathler]

Someone doesn't like the strangers 😄 @Bryce Tagren-Quinn

Quote

Raising her chin and running a hand through her voluminous tresses, Ark’Va regarded them sternly.

Kelley: The only thing you’d really find in those caves is low clearances. ::She eyed Vylaa.:: Not good for antennas, I hear.

 

[Alieth]

Quote

Twin screams echoed as the rope hung like one of Cheesecake’s chewed up pull ropes, and for a moment her mind sluggishly couldn’t understand what, exactly just happened.

@Corlisshow you DARE to make this dramatic scene this hilarious, bad betazoid, BAD

[Samira Neathler]

Quote

Lena could see the cogs working as the younger woman looked from the floating island they stood on to the one across the way, and laughed when she realised the obvious next step.

Or leap, as the case was.

Their angry young guide backed up and then sprinted forward, somersaulting across the gap with the skill of a gymnast. She rolled onto her side and scrambled onto all fours, pushing herself onto her feet. If only Valesha were there—the cat currently disguised as a Romulan would appreciate that act of graceful athleticism. 

@Quinn Reynolds Or toss them over the gap with her Romulan strength. 😄

[Alieth]

Quote

From rifles with a 25-year out-of-warranty stamp under the butt plate, zips of energy blasts flew past them.

Damn it @Jo Marshall  , with the expired manufacturer's warranty I can't ask for a refund for those blasts!
