Popular Post Morro Caras Posted September 25 Popular Post Posted September 25 Quote Caras: My sister made me take ::pauses looking for phrasing:: special engineering courses and made me join the seekers guild back where I’m from. Nis: Seekers guild? Do they, like, seek out special engineering problems? oO He’s an Orion, dummy. He’s talking about sex.Oo Jania had a sudden memory of Gaz Nis, a soldier who had traveled with Trill diplomats in the earlier days of spacefaring, when the Trill still wanted to punch every Vulcan they met. Gaz had known an Orion. Their memories of their time together were … spicy. Caras: Ah the seekers guild is short for the pleasure seekers and it’s a very Orion oriented guild that may be… not appropriate for dinner conversation. I purposely set @Jania Nis up for this and she knocked it out of the park with the response that made me bust out laughing, then dunked on herself in her own inner monologue. 2 3 Quote
Popular Post Lhandon_Nilsen Posted September 25 Popular Post Posted September 25 @Karen Stendhal comic timing was perfect, especially after Lhandon didn't have tbe words to express his gratitude at the moment. Quote Nilsen: Thank you sir, this…it means a lot, thank you. Stendhal: Congratulations Lhando! You're more than deserving of this promotion! (wispering to him) I can imagine you now, standing on the bridge as captain, delivering those epic, biblical lectures that will strike fear and confusion into the hearts of new cadets. Karen smiled mischievously. 5 Quote
Lhandon_Nilsen Posted September 26 Posted September 26 This entire sequence just lined up beautifully, I was cackling as I read the final part of this. @Avander Promontory @Morro Caras @Kimonzi Lahl Quote Promontory: Well, we have this mess hall booked all night, but at some point I should probably finish up some PADDwork. (wryly) I understand a junior officer shot their superior officer and, well, now I have forms to fill out! Nis: What?! A junior officer shot a superior officer? That’s terrible! We hope they’ve been suitably punished. Caras: What factors determine less or more forms? How epic it looked? If said officer gave it as an order? Speed and accuracy that would make a marine jealous? Asking for a friend. ::under breath:: quick draw McLahl. Lahl: He told me to! And you were there! Nis: Ohhhh. Uh . . . sorry 2 Quote

Lhandon_Nilsen Posted September 27 Posted September 27 This...is a good promise to make @Karen Stendhal Quote She made a promise to herself to avoid explosions for a time, or at least to make an effort. Maybe we need @Josh Herrick to try this too.😂 2 Quote
Alora DeVeau Posted September 28 Author Posted September 28 Quote What kind of ribbon was it? An innovation ribbon? Was it the same one that CO and XO, not to mention all the bigwigs upstairs, had gotten? Una was about to faint, but she gathered her courage and went to claim her very first ribbon. Could it be more innovative than this? Then she strutted away, humming to herself, Qualunque: 'I got a ribbon, I got a ribbon...' She's so darn cute! 1 Quote
Lhandon_Nilsen Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Please...someone write this mission proposal. @Josh Herrick Quote Herrick: Ah Commander, how timely. ::looking back to the table:: We were just musing about our next mission… Would it be too much to hope that the FNS will ask us to go visit a resort world and provide reviews from a crew perspective? 2 Quote
Lhandon_Nilsen Posted October 4 Posted October 4 This is normal for us, when are there not crew member making very bad decisions? I personally make at least 3 really bad decisions before breakfast. @Jania Nis Quote Nis: The other thing is, people don’t always realize they’ve got temporal narcosis. There could be crew members at their duty stations about to make some very bad decisions. 2 Quote
Lhandon_Nilsen Posted October 4 Posted October 4 @Josh Herrick Quote Herrick: (shaking his head) Not today Satan! ::tapping his panel:: Rerouting power from all secondary systems and life support to structural integrity. 1 Quote
Alora DeVeau Posted October 5 Author Posted October 5 Quote Nilsen: We can probably divide and conquer. I'm willing to bet at least a few of the things that we're looking for can be handled by their form of self-service, so we can hit that first and at least have something to take back. ::Beat:: I’ve had another thought: if we do run into a ::searching for the words:: a moment where our age is showing, we can pretend that we're enthusiasts of the 24th/25th century. Most people will accept an excuse like that, and we can adlib from there. If there was ever a moment for Anton’s corncob bubble pipe this was it. Richards: Tis a fascinating idea, ain’t it chap? This tickled me. 1 Quote
Lhandon_Nilsen Posted October 8 Posted October 8 YEET THE PROBES!!!! Quote Yinn: Strictly speaking, we don't have to launch the probes. We can throw them if need be. Avander was bemused. Promontory: Throw them, lieutenant? Yinn: I mean just that. Literally throw them out of the airlock. Momentum will keep them moving indefinitely. It's slower than a launch, but we have plenty of time on our hands while we're waiting for the ship to be repaired. When they do pass near the portal, we can scan. The trajectory doesn't need to be precise, they just need to be close enough to get good readings. 1 1 Quote
Alora DeVeau Posted October 12 Author Posted October 12 Quote Bolian Science Officer: Warrant officer Tedd, and this is the rest of the botanical task force. :: motioning to the four others:: Herrick: Response Caras: … Task force?::trying not to giggle:: Caras didn’t want to be rude. But when he thought of a “task force” He usually thought of a hazard team like the 48th Starfleet Rapid Response Task Group. These shipmates were … certainly not that. Tedd: We’re botanists and we do tasks, thus a task force. You might think it’s funny until you’ve got Phylosian bagworms. Then we’re your best friends. This sounds right up Alora's alley! Quote
Alora DeVeau Posted October 14 Author Posted October 14 Quote Promontory: Damage, or any other sort of report? Yinn: The damage sensors were damaged, which suggests significant damage. This made me chuckle. 4 Quote

Lhandon_Nilsen Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Quote Anton was not “driving” and he sat staring forward thinking about just how unfair that fact was. Nilsen: Anton, can ya get me priority one flight clearance from fight ops. Richards: No. Anton cleared them anyway of course. Quote Lahl: ::looking around at where they landed:: Lieutenant Nilsen…did you intend for us to be at the base of a mountain? ::looking up at the slope between them and their destination:: Quote Lahl: Lieutenant Nilsen, have you thought about not hitting every bit of atmospheric disturbance? Both of you 😂 @Anton Richards @Kimonzi Lahl Attitude 1 Quote
Morro Caras Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Quote Caras: Not standing out is key, but with this Collector having a bunch of antiques maybe we can write the shuttle off as just that. A group interested in collecting StarFleet memorabilia. I remember my friend telling me that on Earth there was an entire subculture dedicated to pursuits like this. Civil War re-enactors? That whole bit sounds terrible to me, not sure why someone would want to reenact a war. Yinn: Why would someone not want to relive the glorious battles of old? Loq caught themselves and stopped. This was serious mission planning, it didn't need an opinionated Klingon butting in. But sometimes songs and stories weren't enough, you wanted to feel what your ancestors felt on the field of battle. Then again, their mind drifted to those Bolians who tried to recreate old sea vessels down to the same types of kelp rope the ancients would have used. They were obsessive and a bit ridiculous. But Caras wasn't wrong that that would be a good cover. @Ensign Yinn Reminding me that Klingons were probably doing war re-enacting before the American civil war even occurred. Just on point Klingon roleplaying and made me chuckle. 2 Quote
Alora DeVeau Posted October 28 Author Posted October 28 Quote Stendhal: So, to recap, Lt. Nijal will handle the fashionable attire, I'm confident that the AI of the computer will be able to help to provide some appropriate clothing designs for a party set 800 years in the future... Ensign Caras will figure out how to disable the security systems the old-fashioned way. 'Smashing them down'. Lt.Jg. Yinn will make it all scientifically plausible and keep us in real-time communication through her counterpart Loq. While I will diligently and emphatically scan for treats. Because if you have to go on an undercover operation, you'd better get some treats for it. 1 Quote

Kimonzi Lahl Posted October 31 Posted October 31 (edited) Quote Lahl: Get back in the worm where you ::ancient Trill cursing ensues:: belong! Lhandon's eyebrows skyrocketed, but then Lahl faced the rest of the team and looked back at her tricorder as if she was back in control of her own body. Lhandon was starting to get an idea of what was happening, although he didn't quite understand what "detrilled cursing" was. He was pretty sure he didn't want to be called the words Lahl used. I don’t think anyone wants to be called the words Lahl used… 😝 @Lhandon_Nilsen Edited October 31 by Kimonzi Lahl 2 Quote
Jania Nis Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Quote oO Is this what freedom feels like? The fear of losing it once you've tasted it? Oo Dang some deep thoughts from our resident intrusive hologram 2 Quote
Sevantha Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Quote Caras: Miss… miss.. Miss D’vine? Miss D? Miss I need the sword, I’m the dread captain’s special boy tonight. Looks like the crew is having fun at their party. 2 Quote
Lhandon_Nilsen Posted November 3 Posted November 3 There are two puppies on this ship. They are two very good boys...I mean officers...they are very good officers. Do not misconstrue this 😂 Quote Nilsen: A diplomat? I like the sound of him already. ::trying to keep the mood up:: reckon he can get my course done for me. I’ve been stuck on this essay for weeks…or centuries rather. Avander tried to parse Lhandon’s words without success, until he remembered that the lieutenant was doing distance learning courses in diplomacy. oO Can you imagine that! Oo The overgrown puppy would make an interesting diplomatic officer. Quote Caras: At… at least come with me. Tell her I did a good job. Caras made the best puppy dog eyes he could at D’vina. He was legitimately scared, but probably not for the reasons she thought. She shoved the sword into his arms. He was holding it wrong. He just looked like a mess as his intoxicated friends hopefully were almost finished behind him. 2 Quote
Avander Promontory Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Quote Nijal: Yes, exactly! And we have many more unique treasures with which to tempt you. Because we are, um, a band. Traveling minstrels! And also, uh, magicians. Nailed it! 3 Quote
