gorkon Funny things heard on the USS Gorkon

🤣Typical Bear. @Jo Marshall

O. Marshall: Damnit, keep your heads down! You lose one and we can't regrow it!

 

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

That sim was absolute GOLD! 

 @Jo Marshall & @Corliss

Quote

Fortune: Okay, so I take it everyone else sees the red…everything?
 
O. Marshall: Definitely seeing the red thing!

 

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

I'm definitely a Lena fan, @Quinn Reynolds!!! 

Quote

Josett: So this is where someone tells me why the caves are going to keep us safe from time fluxes and Jem’Hadar, because as far as I know a bunch of rocks can’t do either.

zh’Tisav: oO Well, I’m not going back to the ship and have to explain how we lost our XO. Oo

Oh, and here I thought Vylaa liked the XO. @Vylaa 😁

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

OMG @Jo Marshall!! 😂 Butt of a joke?! Nahhhhhh…. 
 

Quote

O. Marshall: Let's not stick around to find out. Kelley, ::he tossed her his tricorder,:: lead us in. I'll bring up the rear. 

 

As if expecting a quip from Lena, he shot her a warning look, and unholstered the phaser from his thigh. This was, indeed, not a great day to die. 

 

[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]

LOL, @Genkos Adea! I'm deaded! 🤣

I can't wait to read more from you 😂

Quote

When he woke up, there was a little flashing icon on his PADD saying that he needed to read a briefing. Which he did. He nodded contemplatively and ate from his tube grubs as he read. Sucking the residue of grubjuice from his fingers, he pulled on his uniform, checked himself in the mirror, and took a deep breath.

 

So far, so alive.

 

He headed, as instructed, to Shuttlebay 2, and waited patiently for instructions. So far, so alive.

 

Then came his big moment, the moment where all the thrill got replaced with terror. He made eye contact with Quinn Reynolds.

 

The blood rushed from his face, making him pale - she was going to ask him to do something, and then he was going to get deaded. She was the Harbinger of Death, the Author of All His Pain. Not intentionally, but she had an uncanny knack for leading the crew of the Gorkon into deadly situations, and there was no way this wasn’t happening again.

 

Then she smiled, and Gnaxac’s grip on his engineering kit tightened. That damn smile.

Howdy Gorkonites!

 

Another month has come and gone, and another Quote of the Month competition is in the books (with next month's right around the corner, since the whole "getting married" thing set me behind a bit). Your outstanding senses of humor mean the competition is always tight but fortunately, probably thanks to my threat polite request, there was no three-way tie this month so no one had to fight to the death for the title and badge, damn. 

 

Without further ado, I am delighted to present August's winner badge to our very own Highest Quality Counsellor Brain!

 

(Fortune) 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…

 

 

Congrats, Corliss! Still waiting to see Cheesecake dyed purple, fyi. 

 

Cheers, y'all!

“Over There,” as they called it. Meru knew a bit about it from perusing old mission reports and talking to crew who’d been there, though it was so wholly traumatic that she’d only heard bits and pieces. And then there were the news reports—six years ago she’d failed her Academy entrance exam, and her mother had told her it was a blessing.

“Look at this, Starfleet ships are always getting lost. You could end up on a ship like the Gorkon, missing forever!” Meru, depressed by the poor testing score, said there was no way she’d end up on a ship like the Gorkon, anyway. Oops.

Quinn had spent enough time with Jo to recognise quite a few Bajoran curses. This was a mild one, in a situation deserving of swears which could curdle milk.

@Quinn Reynolds Remember, "It's still PG-13 if you cuss in Bajoran!"

They could sit in a circle, passing the dermal regenerator around like they were sharing a handle of Bajoran moonshine. But for now they didn’t have the luxury of mending their wounds.

When they got out of this, she was going to bury herself in Walter’s arms and let the German tell her he couldn’t promise things would be alright because he wasn’t clairvoyant and he’d be damned if he’d let the universe make a liar out of him. But he would promise to be there, for as long as he could be.

You had to sim it, didn't ya @Jo Marshall. 😁

Howdy Gorkonites, and Happy Halloweeeeeeeen!

 

I hope you're eating lots of candy (if you aren't, go do that now!) and enjoying our last day of October. As it is Halloween, watch out for jump scares and spooky happenings, and take care of your heart! Speaking of, I should present the winning September quote....

Stoyer: Commander, if you could not give me a heart attack next time.

 

 

Congrats, Cory! Hopefully you'll make it back to the ship before Sami kills you...but if you don't, I volunteer Corliss to ouija-board you for your mission report. She likes that kinda thing, right?

 

Cheers, y'all!

From an engineering perspective, it was a nightmare. From a logistical perspective, a nightmare. From a human perspective, a nightmare. From Doz's perspective, a bloody nightmare.

@Doz Finch lotta nightmares there, buddy. Good thing you're with a therapist!

[Alieth]

omg @Samira Neathler

 

Quote

She felt like a true engineer now, holding the most important tool of every engineer in hand. If something did not work, whack it with the wrench.

 

[Alieth]

@Genkos Adea that's a relief 😂

Quote

 

Gnaxac grimaced; the Farm was a legendary resort where all sorts of Starfleet oddities ended up recovering - he’d had a friend who’d been sent there after a transporter accident, and who had never returned.

 

((OOC - Unbeknownst to Gnaxac, this colleague is doing fine on Starbase 74))

He was also going to ignore the phrase “wet navy” as that brought inappropriate images to his tiny Ferengi mind.

Gnaxac, no! @Genkos Adea

Gnaxac, no! @Genkos Adea

Gnaxac, yes!

Kyrl is such a character @Vylaa 😂

They trod forward, through the hatch and into the deeper water beyond.  The surface nearly came up to his giblets, not that it mattered; he’d been soaked to the bone for a long time by now.  In fact, if he were  a dried bean he’d be ready to cook by now.

Howdy Gorkonites!

 

Another month has nearly come and gone, the year grows colder, the days grow darker (for most of us, anyway-- sorry Pira), and October's Quote of the Month competition has come to an end. As your friendly Quote of the Month Overlord, I am, as always, overjoyed to announce the winner and present them with a shiny new badge and ego boost. Without further ado, your October winner is...

 

(Tahna:) They could sit in a circle, passing the dermal regenerator around like they were sharing a handle of Bajoran moonshine.

 

Oh wait, that's me! Yep, you folks voted for it, and I am happy to declare myself winner of this never ever rigged competition. I guess people forgot to send in their bribes last month...

 

 

Congrats, me! As always, hit me up if you have a quote to nominate for the November competition, and great work saving the Tyrellian system!

 

Cheers, y'all!

Samira had seen the Vulcan wearing glasses lately, though that should not affect the commander’s hearing.

@Samira Neathler Gave me a chuckle 😆

Tahna: I think the Admiral prefers her officers raw, not lava baked. 

I prefer vulcans raw indeed, pretty please

First, the engineer who had got him into the mess had disappeared (even though he had encouraged the whole thing, but, by his grandmother's beard, he was a security goon, he couldn't be asked to have two functioning brain cells half the time).

By his grandmother's beard! @Alieth who is this fabulous Tellarite woman and when can we meet her! 🤣

Looking around at the excavation site in front of him, Rix blew out a sigh that could've sounded like a series of Bajoran curse words flying neatly under the radar. This was beyond what he'd expected when he'd woken up that morning, tumbled out of bed, poured himself a cup of delicious ambition to herald in the divine Tyrellian star-strewn sunshine with a shake of his bare backside to the glorious window, not afraid to let his freak flag fly… 

 

…and received the call. 

@Jo Marshall This deserves a spot in the Opening Paragraph Hall of Fame.
