Academy Quips & Quotes

Someone who's in a class with @Jo Marshall, should sim this now and let me know. 😄

Quote

As she saw Rivera and his team leave the bridge, she exhaled, a deep breath passing through her lips. Missions were always difficult. Life is always on the line. What she wouldn't give for the protection duty of a basket of puppies once in a while.

Marshall: It doe snake me wonder if they were expecting some kind of imminent attack

Jo makes a typo and makes up some kind of Dr Moreau-type hybrid - the doe snake!

Ukinix: =/\= Hi Commander, we seem to be dealing with big rodents. =/\=

 

T'Seva: =/\= ...rodents of unusual size? =/\=

I love how T'Seva slipped a Princess Bride reference in there!

[Alora DeVeau]

 

 

Quote

The coms from the bride came through clearly. The contact with the bridge team was comforting to him; at least they were not out of contact with assistance if needed.

 

Right smack dab in the middle of the princess bride comment came this from green.  It was a typo, but I suspect T'Seva was also a bad influence.

@Serala made me chuckle during my lunchbreak. 😄

Quote

Her pacing stopped, however, when two senior officers entered the holodeck. One was a Betazoid man using a cane and the other appeared to be a female combination of a Vulcan and Bajoran. The Betazoid man tapped some commands into a computer then turned and approached them. Dalissa jumped to attention in line with the other cadets and straightened her uniform as if she was about to face yet another uniform inspection. After all, one never knew what a training officer might pull. And there was nothing wrong with making oneself presentable, was there?

She watched as he (Academy CO) pulled his uniform tunic down before continuing.

oO See! One can never double check their uniform enough. Oo

@Elizabeth Snow playing a cadet and giving my absolute favorite version of the initial reaction to a very colorful Aurelian being in the room. The "Don't be weird!" mental reaction gets a hearty laugh from me just about every time it happens, and this one is no exception 😆

Quote

 

She noticed that the Aurelian was looking at the row of cadets. 

 

oO Focus! Oo

oO But all the colors, I can’t help it! Oo

oO You’re gonna make it weird! Oo

oO Right! Oo

Xoltron: =/\= Greetings, travellers. I am Xoltron, sent by the Intergalactic Council Galactic Oversight Bureau to terraform this galaxy and make it habitable for our species. Your presence here is a hindrance to our mission, and you must leave at once. We apologise for any inconvenience. =/\=

Don't know why, but you had me laughing out loud with this one, @Jo Marshall

This killed me, from Cadet Zenno. 🤣👌🏻

Quote

He could hear Lt. Nardello's voice in his head, "You're a blueberry in cherry pie, Bolian. You picked the red uniform, so make it work."

 

[Gogigobo Fairhug]

This made me chuckle from @Araxxu Vahin. I believe Sir David Attenborough said the exact same thing. 🧐😂

Quote

Studying wildlife would be an enjoyable pursuit as long as there wasn’t a chance you could be eaten. 

 

[Alora DeVeau]

Quote

Anything heading their way had to be better news than the repeated cues of denied access that the tricorder kept flashing at Ksivi-Sava... Or so he thought until he spotted a more than head-high quadruped breaking through the foliage at the edge of the perimeter. Weren’t natural environments just splendid? Microscopic contagions, stealthy tree-dwellers, trampling quadrupeds, and no shortage of bizarre ways to get hurt! At this point, Ksivi-Sava could barely stop his hand from twitching at his phaser right away.

Ksivi-Sava: It’s… green.

Quote

The blinking multi-coloured dot on the screen was magnified.  Now it was a slightly larger blinking multi-coloured dot.

Very technical @Wil Ukinix! 🤣

[Alora DeVeau]

Quote

DeVeau: We have just under an hour. Commander Marshall, may I recommend that you take a group down to engineering?

Marshall: You can recommend that, Commander. I won't hold it against you.

Glad to hear it. 😄

Falt: Anyone else find this strange? A bit like the Marie Celeste? 

 

Almonaster: Never heard of that sir, but where I come from that’s a sandwich.

This from @Jo Marshall made me giggle at my desk:

Quote

Not today, weird pterodactyl-thing. Not today.

From one of our intrepid cadets today  

Quote

Upon further examination of these things they appeared to almost resemble Beatles that would normally be found on earth except these were much larger and seem to be fully willing to have their very first taste of human flesh, well almost human flesh.

[Wil Ukinix]

I just about spat out my drink @Jo Marshall! 🤣

 

Quote

As she took another sip from her mug, her eyes landed on a dark-haired Commander, poised for their upcoming adventure.
 
Marshall: Good morning, Wil! ::She beamed, lifting her mug in a semi-salute.:: Good to see you. I see the assassins have failed again. How's that Amity life?

Grabbing a sidearm phaser, Taz double checked the setting with his thumb—always the lowest—before slipping it into the holster by his side with a flourish. This was a manoeuvre he'd perfected in his Academy security classes, hoping the Cavaleri Catch would take on as the name. It didn't. 

Keep trying! @Jo Marshall 😄

[Gogigobo Fairhug]

Quote

It didn’t take long before the doors opened and in walked in a female captain and a male lieutenant commander with a magnificent beard that Liam could only dream of.

Flattery will get you everywhere @Samira Neathler

From @Wil Ukinix:

Quote

(The worst part is that he was having trouble switching the language from “Bajoran” to “Federation Standard-AU” in the console’s settings.)

My very favorite prank to play on the Bridge crew.

[Wil Ukinix]

When the computers all take over, the first thing they're going to do is head to Risa @Jo Marshall

Quote

Suddenly, the ship lurched violently, throwing them off balance. Taz gripped a console to steady himself, his heart racing. The core's pulsing grew more frantic, a harrowing countdown to disaster. With a placid voice, as calm as a cucumber enjoying a relaxing vacation on Risa, the computer softly announced…

 

Computer: Core ejection sequence initiated

I really dig the title (and wish I could come up with gems like this!): Cadet Taziano Cavaleri - Dread, the New Fragrance, by Phay Ser Beam

[Genkos Adea]

Quote

That cane. Nolen recognized it. He’d never served with Commander Adea, except once. His own cadet cruise felt like a lifetime and a half ago, but it was hard to forget a Captain with a cane. He wondered if that’s why Adea used it.

The telltale black eyes of a Betazoid squinted from under his wavy brown hair as the Lieutenant greeted the Commander, who turned to face him as he approached, with an expectant smile

Adea: You must be Hobart.

The smile faded but only just. Of course he wouldn’t recognize him. The Commander must have seen hundreds of cadets come and go. After a brief mental stumble, Hobart recovered.

I feel awful about this @Nolen Hobart - but I will point out that your cadet cruise might well have been the most important day of your life. For me, it was a Tuesday.
