Popular Post + Yalu Posted February 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2023 The post-mission chat scene between @Talos Dakora and @Addison MacKenzie just kept getting brilliant-er as its two writers developed it. But to kick off the new Artemis quips, quaps and quotes thread, I chose to showcase this particular snippet. Quote Dakora: Oh, that was great. ::His eyes lit up a little.:: Or when the Commodore said the Excal was coming back online and Vo'kor was all: ::He assumed an inaccurate but comical impression of the Klingon's deep voice::"What, that's impossible! My little nano-bots! Boo-hoo! ::He switched back to his normal voice.:: and I was all like: "Shut up, Captain A-hat!". I'm imagining the inaccurate-but-comical impression sounds like Tina from Bob's Burgers. 2 1 6 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Robin Hopper Posted February 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2023 It was a small line in an overall-impressive handling of some key events, but this line from @Yalu struck me as a reader trying to learn all about this new crew I'll be simming with: Quote Despite having died seven times, Yogan still had yet to master the art of the goodbye. Powerful stuff. 8 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post + Yalu Posted March 7, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 This bit from @Genkos Adea has totally not been taken out of context. Quote Genkos waited patiently for the rest of his team to appear. His fingers drummed on the handle of his cane, and he shot the Transporter Chief 1 7 Quote Link to comment

+ Yalu Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 I loved this from @Hiro Jones, a description of Osuna's reaction to Hiro's bit of science: Quote Hiro looked at the Lieutenant, expecting to see a puzzled expression. The one Osuna now wore WAS in fact puzzlement, but less "That is odd behavior," and more "Your hiccups sound weird." 1 3 Quote Link to comment
+ Yalu Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 @Addison MacKenzie gets the slow burn comedy award here. Quote Erbil: And [the Human race], Commander, has managed to overcome a violent and fractured past to be a standard-bearer for peaceful coexistence. Her gaze shifted back to Erbil, wondering exactly where the line of questioning might be going. MacKenzie: It would appear so… I imagine she’s like, “Whelp darnit, if I smack him around now, I’ll make us look bad…” 4 Quote Link to comment

Popular Post + Vitor S. Silveira Posted April 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2023 Also I love @Jovenan innocence. Quote Silveira: A retractable disco ball for the Bridge. Now that would be stylish. A disco… ball? Jovenan wasn’t aware of anything with that name. Disco, as in discovery? She pictured a spherical object that would map the surrounding area, showing all new discoveries by a ship on an exploratory mission. It seemed somewhat redundant considering they had a stellar navigation lab, and she couldn’t imagine why the tactical officer wanted one, but all in all it seemed like a marvellous idea. All ships should have a disco ball on the bridge for easier navigation! 2 1 5 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post + Yalu Posted April 4, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2023 @Genkos Adea chewing the scenery. It's the legitimate theatre, da'aling. Quote Jovenan: ..none of us other than Commander Adea seems to have been affected. Silveira: And Lieutenant Dakora, the only Betazoids on the away teams. Genkos flailed against the restraints for a moment, whilst putting on a strangulated and distorted voice to try and disconcert the group. Adea: Weeeeee can read yoooooour minds! 2 3 Quote Link to comment

Popular Post Genkos Adea Posted April 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2023 Quote She couldn’t help but think how bizarre the situation must look like to the new Ensigns. If, on her first day on the Excalibur, she had found Lt Commander Etan strapped to a bed, with Lt Seta and Dakora studying him on the side, but still chirpily welcoming her to the crew, she might have walked out and say she’d come back later. @Jovenan being her sassy self 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment

Popular Post Robin Hopper Posted April 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2023 @Genkos Adea loved the visual of this - regardless of how it would have played out, the slapstick appeal made me laugh. Quote Genkos mumbled a thanks to the assembled officers before they moved off, leaving him alone with Vitor again. Genkos stretched out his newly unencumbered limbs and debated whether it would be funny to pretend to try to throttle Vitor or whether he’d get shot. 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post + Hiro Jones Posted April 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2023 @LuxaLorana Came out of the gate strong. One of our newest arrivals, and she's already made me tear up. Quote May the new dawn be kinder to your people than the last. This. This is what did it. I adore this sentiment, the simple poetry, and the hope contained in these few words. It's a sentiment that resonates with my soul, and a blessing/benediction I echo for everyone. May the new dawn be kinder than the last. Nicely done, Ensign. Happy to have you on the Artie.

Popular Post Addison MacKenzie Posted April 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2023 While I know this sim has already gotten its own separate feature, I have to highlight this bit by @Hallia Yellir. Quote Having seen and heard how Commander MacKenzie had gone about chewing out many officers, she drew some inspiration. There was almost a theatre to this, and Hallia was doing her best impression of the good captain, trying everything she could to be effortlessly intimidating. ...I'm so proud. 🤣 7 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post + Yalu Posted April 20, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'm delighted to see that Kirky lives on in the memories of others. Thanks @Vitor S. Silveira. Quote Selfie. That's it. A selfie from the Excalibur’s bridge with her winking and giving him a thumbs up. And in the back Bean, shirtless, striking a pose, and Colt with his trademark raised eyebrow, balancing in two dance poles. 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment
Robin Hopper Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 This exchange, particularly @Talos Dakora's additions to it, made me laugh out loud. Quote As they passed through one set of armored, soundproof, EM radiation-shielded doors and closed it behind them, he began the auth procedure on the second, inner-most door. It was almost like an airlock, but instead of opening up to the vacuum of space, it opened up to... A rather plain-looking rectangular conference room. A long, sim-wood trimmed table sat at the center, with an air-gapped computer terminal situated at one end that fed into small displays embedded at each position on the black transparent aluminum topped table. The walls were constructed out of an uninteresting grey paneling and were bare, save for a large screen on the wall opposite the door that was currently inactive with the Starfleet Intelligence Seal hanging static on the screen Gabe's underwhelmed feelings came through loud and clear. Osuna: You know, I’m glad you’re not as “cloak and dagger” as the reputation your division has earned – but you could do with a bit more, ya know, theatrics… As he spoke, he folded his arms across his chest and leaned back against the wall, triggering a blaring alarm. Alarm: BWWWAAAHHH!!! Smirking Talos pointed at the wall panel. As boring as it looked, everything about the SCIF was state-of-the-art. Behind the walls were seven layers of sensor, acoustic, and even telepathic shielding, protecting what was discussed within these walls from interception by any method of electronic eavesdropping or telepathic snooping known to the Federation. The surface of the walls themself had a variable geometry molecular structure, Talos didn't pretend to understand the science behind it, but from what he understood the individual molecules within the wall panels re-arranged themselves in an algorithmic pattern that made them impenetrable by nanobots and other not-traditionally-corporeal alien species. He put on a faux perturbed expression. Dakora: Don't touch the walls. They're alive and they don't like it. It was an oversimplification, but hey, it was theatrical. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Robin Hopper Posted May 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2023 @Genkos Adea - this has the rare honour of making me giggle out loud at work: Quote And with that, they were back into the fray, healing ass and taking names. Well, not names, but you get the drift. They were good doctors, and good doctoring was done that day in the Da’al hospital. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment
Talos Dakora Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 This one from @Genkos Adea got a sensible chuckle out of me: Quote Genkos nodded; he didn’t know his nebulae from his gaseous anomalies. Not really anyway. He just knew that if Yogan kept scoffing that spicy centrepiece, they might have a gaseous anomaly of their very own. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Robin Hopper Posted May 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2023 @Vedic Koleth - this was beautiful: Quote Vedic: Excuse me, I think I’ve had enough to drink. Might be time for me to get back. He said goodbye to the people nearby, then went to see off his department head and some of the fellow Senior officers. Afterwards he went outside. The brisk night air froze his lungs in his breath. Welcome after the body heat closeness and smells of inside. He looked up at the stars. oO Been a long time since the familiar constellations of Bajor. Oo He thought about the constellations of his homeworld and how they were more abstract than the Earth constellations: Inspiration Point, The Power of Falling, Giving Birth to Thunder. It had been over a year since his last leave had taken him there. He saw one star moving much more quickly than the rest, and realized it was the Artemis, in orbit around the planet. oO A new star to call home Oo Vedic: =/\= Artemis, one to beam up. =/\= From Ensign Vedic Koleth - End of the Party 6 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post + Yalu Posted June 13, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2023 Haha @Jovenan has shooting Genkostalgia. Quote During the previous mission, all she had to do was do as she was told, then improvise for a bit, beam them back up, shoot Commander Adea and that was pretty much it. Now she had to come up with new stuff all the time and implement them too. It exhausted her much faster than she had thought it would. 2 5 Quote Link to comment
