Quotes: Excalibur-Eyyyyyyyy

[+ Yalu]

Quote

Dakora (as Yalu): This might be a first contact situation after all. I think you might've nailed it in the briefing. ::Beat.:: Well, except for the whole mole people thing...

[Kali Nicholotti]

This. Just this.

Addison wiggled her eyebrows and smirked.

 

Powers restored.

I’m sure Phillip Ma and M. T. would be happy to answer some questions too.

The Kuppasoop siblings.

Quote

The news hit Aine like a punch in the gut. What sort of monster would do something like that!?! She felt as though she were about to hyperventilate and her breathing became faster and heavier.

RIP whiskey...

ch’Yves:  But Kuppa, Dumpling, where’s this coming from?  It’s just all so sudden.

Kuppasoop:  I just need my space.  ‘Kreemin, Sugar, I just feel like our relationship is going nowhere fast.  I can’t be tied down like this.  I one to see new things, new people.

 

I just can't! lol

Garou: It ain't just about following some manual of what to do, it’s about feel chief. Anyone can plug stuff in. Sometimes the problem isn’t in plain sight. Use your head, what’d you do when one-o-your science thingy m’bobs broke.

Hallia [...]ed her head to the side, as if the answer was obvious. 

Yellir: We discarded it, or sent it to Engineering to fix it.

 

 

@Hallia Yellir, ex-science officer, now chief engineer, cracking me up.

Watson:  Join me? I mean us? I would love to be joined. I mean, you are joined, being Trill, right? ::pauses, feeling foolish:: I’ll just eat my pie now.

This had me snickering!

Quote

 

MacKenzie: I’m one of the best surgeons in the galaxy. I’ve helped people regain mobility when many others have argued it wasn’t possible. I’ve saved more lives than you can imagine… I’ve also been taken hostage and beaten nearly beyond the point of recognition.

She paused.

MacKenzie: I’ve gotten where I am because I believe in science. Discipline. Because I believe the proverbial book exists for a reason, and that following the rules in that book has saved my own life on several accounts. (beat) I’m not a hardass because I enjoy it, I’m a hardass because I enjoy keeping you all alive.

 

 

AKM 101: Introduction to Addison MacKenzie, M.D., Ph.D., FASFS

[Lt Aine Olive Sherlock]

Quote

Etan: I often wonder if our crew have ever had a routine assignment that didn’t blow up in their face.

No.

Quote

Etan: When I was assigned to the Resolution I could never have predicted what I would have experienced. My first mission out and a terrorist blew a hole in the briefing room and on my second assignment- the ship ended up crashing on a nameless world in The Briar Patch. ::with a chuckle, he added.:: Are we cursed?

Yes.

Etan: Our crew has a habit of getting themselves arrested after visiting here. ::he said thinking of Meidra and Aine, both of whom had been involved in altercations after drinks in the tavern.:: I’d rather not add to that reputation. Besides, I really don’t want a dressing down from the Commodore or the Commander.

Detained, thank you very much.

[Talos Dakora]

I'd be similarly unamused 😂:

Quote

Tiberius: Hey, before we go, would it really be ok if I got that plant? 

The delicious dessert might have altered Yogan’s brain chemistry, or maybe he was just in a good mood.  Either way, he’d already promised Iljor that he’d forward a crew transfer request to Commander MacKenzie with his additional recommendation attached.  He might as well add his name to the “Let Sleepy Tiberius have a plant” petition.  Yogan glanced at Genkos, then forked another chonk of brownie.

Yalu:  I don’t see any reason why not.  ::beat, playfully::  But if it ends up murdering us all in our sleep, I am going to be so mad.

I'm equal parts concerned and impressed.
Alternatively: TFW you want to get your monthly sim quota handled in one day.

[Kali Nicholotti]

For the record, we didn't have a ceremony this leave and I thought everyone deserved ribbons.

And hey, it's the Starfleet equivalent of a yearly performance eval...  Hush and enjoy your one on one time with the Captain. 😛

Quote

Dakora: So then I guess it'd be... ::He pointed to each person as he rattled off the titles.:: Mom, dad, kids and aunt Carol. With a little tweaking of our ages when we go under the knife.

Aunt Carol.  She died a little inside, but kept it to herself.

Boeschg:  Aunt Carol it is, then.  oO Be strong, Carol.  You can cry later. Oo

😂

Nutritionally, they were a stick-to-your-ribs food, and the average adult could go a full working day on a belly full of phlarts.

Mmmmm...who doesn't love a tasty phlart. 🤮

Quote

It’ll be fine, they said. No danger, they said.  Easy surveillance mission, they said. Next time she saw Regillensis, she was definitely going to punch him in the face.

I feel this in my bones @Rune Jolara

[Hallia Yellir]

Quote

MacKenzie: Blend in – do as they do, but don’t go over the top and get thrown in jail… ::eyeing Sirin:: I couldn’t bail you out this time, even if I wanted to

Ok, but hear me out-- is it bad that I could see our crew participating in a prison break in a future mission???

I have a feeling someone thought something like "Write it down". But if we ever do this I call dibs on a ball and glove

Quote

Boeschg:  I wish I hadn’t had that second cup of tea before we left.  I have to go.

She stifled a burst of laughter. Perhaps with her own lack of maturity shining through. Hallia stiffened her face,  feeling some brief respite of warmth.

Yellir:  I think next time we should make it a mandatory rule that we do our business right before a stealth mission like this. ::pausing, Hallia gasped in realisation:: 

oO Goodness, imagine the spies that have all been found out because they’ve needed to go. Really, they’d all be caught with their pants down in that situation. Oo

No comments because I am still laughing...

[Talos Dakora]

Nothing about these demands seem unhinged or concerning at all. 😂

Quote

Daniel:  Your beloved Cup of Soup is gone forever.  My name is Mary Daniel, and my demands are not numerous.  If you give me want I want, you all live.  If not, enjoy the rest of your life trapped in these caves.

Niac / Etan / Silveira / Fingus / Thrike:  response

Daniel:  I want a house and a plot of land for myself, My Burnt, and our forthcoming child.  ::places one hand on belly::  oO Oh, God, I hope I’m pregnant. Oo

I really liked the range of Yalu-thoughts here:

From @Kali Nicholotti

Quote

 

The under the breath response was telling, and Adri kept her grin to herself knowing that this singular man was not only hiding behind his bluffs and pips, but he'd also provoked a bear.

 

And simultaneously, from @Genkos Adea

Quote

Genkos heard Yogan’s displeasure at the jibe; Yogan was nobody’s sidekick. And if he were, he’d be called something like Hamburger Boy. He steepled his fingers in front of him.

If I didn't know what that actually was, it sounds like the kind of pop-up shop I'd want to go to.
