gorkon Funny things heard on the USS Gorkon

Reynolds: Well, best-case scenario, we lose some efficiency but everything still works. Worst-case scenario, we have to explain to Captain Brunsig why so much of his ship is on fire. ::She paused and somehow found a wry grin.:: Did I mention I like to delegate?

[Samira Neathler]

So a PNPC lost a limb and @Tahna Meru might have found the perfect argument why he wouldn't mind:

Quote

Had he really asked her to chop off his arm? What was he thinking? She knew Tellarites are argumentative, right? What if he was just picking a fight, didn't actually think she should disarm him? 

Maybe he just wanted a nice cybernetic arm?

 

[Samira Neathler]

Quote

At least they could move the Tellarite now.

Even @Bryce Tagren-Quinn sees the benefits of Lephi's actions. 😄

Jona tore his angry gaze from the Ferengi woman and forced himself to calm down. His clenched hands hurt and he took a moment to try to adjust his stance to a less confrontational one. He had to remind himself that he was physically imposing to the shorter woman and it wasn't in his purview to threaten or intimidate her. It wasn't his job to be an avenging smurf

@Jona ch'Ranniconfirmed :

Reynolds: Or blow us all up! Damn it, Sevo, low power containment fields and phaser fire are not a good mix.

Are you sure @Quinn Reynolds? :3

A massive T-rex was feasting on something, but now it turned its massive head with sharp teeth and looked up, sniffing in the air as if it smelt their presence.

 

Even if I KNOW the context of this, it makes an AWESOME out of context line @Samira Neathler

Can we nominate scenes for QOTM? Because this entire scene has been so funny to me 😆

[Alieth]

QOTM material @Tahna Meru? QOTM material for sure

Tahna: =/\= Yep. Lab coats: good for more than just looking pretentious. =/\=

Gotta say that was definitely inspired by this line in one of @Samira Neathler's sims: 

 

Quote

She never figured out why medical or science personnel had to wear coats above their uniforms. Perhaps a sign of showing off?

 

[Jo Marshall]

Quote

The words were spoken with the soft, emotionless cadence that was her trademark, but in a way it was implied that, were it not utterly unworthy of her, she would be strangling the man right now. Or tossing a PADD to the man's forehead.

 They had detected recent human traffic, though now Bear was beginning to formulate the opinion that the murderous Diinr had dragged bodies around the ship for the hell of it. However, being the magnanimous man he was, he relented his position, hands retreating to his hips, breath cold as he exhaled.

 

Bear, the Magnanimous, has some Roman Emperor ring

Kero: =/\= Not exactly the ideal situation to be crawling around laboratories with yev knows what is leaking inside. Good to see you've found your feet, Ensign. Tahna will keep you on your toes. =/\=

 

He glanced around to his present company and smiled towards the Bajoran man.

 

Tagren-Quinn: =/\= I have no doubt.  =/\= oO Been on my toes all day, sir. Oo

Who volunteers to give @Bryce Tagren-Quinn a foot massage? 😄

[Alieth]

Kero: =/\= I haven't brought my duranium plated boots today, or my handy pocket Vulcan. =/\=

 

[Alieth]

Quote

Lephi: =/\= We could always try booting it down. =/\=

 

[Alieth]

Not as funny as a perfect concise little recall and motivation of the character for being where he is, nice work @Bryce Tagren-Quinn!

 

Quote

Haze. Pandemonium. Flashes of a time from long ago, of a lunar colony experiencing a meltdown. Fiery debris raining from the sky as the smell of metal and chemicals enveloped around him. It filled his nostrils, burned his heart. Warring factions, of miners and processors, descended on the medical teams that came in to help the injured and remove casualties. As a civilian doctor, Bryce had never experienced such conditions. Such death. Such despair. It was the moment that compelled him to join Starfleet, despite all the crap with his father.

Neathler: What if they tried to beam the entity away instead?

 

Loxley: Then sending it to the Gorkon would not earn us any of Nkai’s cupcakes.

 

Oh. That was disappointing. His cupcakes were legendary, and she would be most hurt to miss out on them.

@Corliss Got to have priorities 😄

[Samira Neathler]

Quote

The Vulcan's gaze wandered from Bear to the hulking man (if Marshall was regarded as an ursid because of his size, how was this officer supposed to be considered? Like a pachyderm, perhaps? Maybe one of those extremely woolly extinct types that inhabited Earth in the past, when it looked slightly more like Andoria?)

@Alieth certainly knows how to describe giants, makes you wonder if the Vulcan has some issues with her height 😉

[Samira Neathler]

In a surprising act of swiftly rising anger, Lephi turned to punch the remaining wall. Immediately, she winced from the impact undoubtedly jarring through her bones. Bryce nodded in agreement. Rix thought it was an odd way to check the walls for structural stability in the wake of the shock collapse. However, he managed to jam a stembolt into that thought in time to stop it from freely flowing out of his mouth.

@Jo Marshall staying in theme. 😄

[Alieth]

From Walter Brunsig narrative:

 

Quote

Dressed for an arctic expedition, their breath misting in the air, thick shadows pooling in red gloom, and all of them as jumpy as ferrets on amphetamines.

 

@Quinn Reynolds I don't think I'll ever get over this description

[Samira Neathler]

Quote

For a second, Alieth considered sending Marshall to protect the door, or perhaps, as a sacrifice to the thing that was chasing them, only to buy the rest more time, a little more time to get the group out of there. A sacrificial act for the greater good. After all, he was the only one who had stood up to that thing and has made it recoil, wasn't he? Plus, the blond, bearded human number one would surely be able to choke the life out of any creature in the galaxy, given how he was. On the downside, however, was the fact that Jo probably didn't quite agree with her brother's sacrifice to the Darkness, nor would it look particularly well on the record of the first away team she had commanded on the Gorkon. Alas.

@Alieth Oi, keep them Bear alive, will ya. Some of us do like him. 😜

Ya'll the ones flinging to your deaths during Hunger Games for some chocolate cake 😂 I just want ONE cupcake!

[Samira Neathler]

Should have a huge one haunting Corliss while hallucinating 😉

A silence descended upon them; full of determination and nowhere to channel it. How to achieve the impossible? Granted, the impossible was Starfleet’s bailiwick, but it felt like they were standing at the bottom of Mount Everest, trying to summit in beachwear.

That I'd like to see, @Quinn Reynolds 😁
