"All that you touch you Change" - Persistent Writings From The OEB Brood

Sherlock: ::turning to Luriaa:: What about you? Do you do anything for fun?

 

That question caught Luriaa off guard.  Her focus had been on Sund’Telaray, his desire, for himself and his people, and how she could help achieve them and, ultimately, help her own people by using that to encourage amicable relations between their people and the UDP.  She paused a moment, then shifted her shaw a little more before she answered. 

 

Luriaa: I have  a great interest in herbology and perfumery.  

Great deadpan humor moment.

Even though her acceptance was lukewarm, they were such an enthusiastic bunch. She wondered if they pumped something in the air to make these people so positive.

It's the root beer, it's insidious!

oO And Ops…Oo Avander mentally added, knowing that the other kids in gold-shirts could get a little titchy when they thought their department was being overlooked.

Lhandon's drinks of choice had been apple juice (apple cider), and prune juice. He had always loved the former and it had been his go-to drink since he was a child. The latter drink, he had discovered when he was learning about Captain Worf, the Klingon who had grown up on Gault, Lhandon’s home. Worf, he thought was a good example to follow and he soon learned that Worf loved prune juice.

So, at the age of 15, he tried it... it was vile. It was bitter, clangy, and sour, and it felt like it had combined with mouthwash... but it was Worf's drink, and Worf described it as a "warrior's drink". Thus, teenage Lhandon pushed through and made himself like it.

If only he found out about Earl Grey tea.

@Lhandon_Nilsen, are you our Boimler? ❤️

@Avander Promontory I think you're on to how we officially refer to our crew:

Somgi: Somgi is happy to be here and expresses gratitude to the Star’fed butlers for their help.

Only for Worf, Worf is King.

Wait until you find Lhando's collection of decorative plates.

Once again, the Cheyd’lang seemed unsure of himself and Toz was again about to reach out to pat him on the hand in a gesture of assurance. But she hesitated. Again. Was the Cheyd’lang the touchy-feely sort? Toz wasn’t but sometimes it was a necessary -albeit icky- thing to do.

Bolded the most relevant point.

Sund took a mental note of this conversation should he have to testify against Domeni in his treason trial if this wasn’t successful.

@Erik Johnson Treason???? How could you? 😅

[Lhandon_Nilsen]

Quote

Domeni’Dolce: This one is confused, how will that work? Are those ones not at war? or fighting?

Sund’Telaray: Of course that one is confused, that one was not natured into a political role. (beat) That said, this one is interested in listening to this welcome cooperation

Nilsen: =/\= Nilsen to Promontory, orders from Katsim, secure all guest. Let me know if you need anything from the OC =/\=

oO What do you think I’m doing, kid? Oo Avander shook off the thought—he was still a little onery from his interactions with Berto. He tapped his badge to respond.

I'm just the messenger *runs and hides* @Avander Promontory

I enjoyed this back and forth between Stendhal and Promontory!

 

Quote

Stendhal: (whispering to Avander) Alarms pierce the calm, /Refugees seek clarity, /Trust wanes, tensions rise.

 

Despite the stress of the situation, Avander’s code-attuned mind (backed up by a mother’s thorough-going literature education) caught the haiku and smiled. He couldn’t help but respond in kind.

 

Promontory: (whispering to Karen while grinning and counting syllables on his fingers) He’s on my last nerve/ No matter what, we’ll help him /Out of an airlock.

Or that junior officer (what was his name again, Niles-son?) was overextending

Eh, close enough 😂 @Avander Promontory

Alto suddenly began to...disintegrate? Melt, melt was more appropriate. Aine's eyes grew wide. She'd read about this before when studying the Dominion War, but the chance to actually see one? And interact with one? Slim to none. But now they had a bigger problem, a Changeling was on board their ship.

Sherlock: :: tapping her combadge :: =/\= Sherlock to Security. I need two people in here now! And get a bucket! Lockdown the Security Center. =/\=

Alto'Belaranto: blaaaaugh!Ai knouw whu iu arrrr bugggggger  de other UAN!!! De one  about of  yaaaa com year here andhulp prrr!

Sherlock: :: her accent coming out heavily:: Jaysus!

Aine watched as the shimmering goo spread out across the floor. The only good thing was that if he wasn't able to hold his form any longer, he wasn't going anywhere. A few seconds later, the door swished open and two other Security Officers stepped in. Both looked down at the floor.

 

 

Sherlock: I told you to bring a bucket.

 

 

 

Just a particularly funny ending, imo!

@Karen Stendhal dropped a great twist for the end of this mission that I never would have guessed. Helps to have someone great to play off of!

 Cheydalanga - Changelinga ... :-) 

@Lt Aine Olive Sherlock I was planning to write this twist last week, giving myself more time to explore it with a few extra sims. But nope, not enough hours in the day! I ended up having to wake up super early to squeeze it in, but totally worth it!

Sherlock: Well, I'll get your clearances setup and show you around. Most importantly, we'll get over to Ops and make sure you get assigned some quarters. And I'm sure they'll like to show off their little area of the ship. I'm sure you know how those Operations people can be?

 

Although this comment confused Anton, he took this opportunity to perhaps garnish himself some redemption.

 

Richards: Oh yeah. Ops people…

 

Anton trailed off shaking his head as though he had been recently inconvenienced by these “Ops people”.

Glad to have Anton back!

[Lhandon_Nilsen]

Quote

Richards: And then they say stuff like, “Anton, that wasn’t a slight collision” and “Anton, stop pressing all the buttons at once”...

@Anton Richards Ops gets on well with everyone...just...please...when you come to the OC...don't press all the buttons at once. 🤪😝

Avander considered activating a holo-mask to disguise his features, just in case his last misadventure at the waystation had landed him on a ‘wanted’ list, but the place didn’t seem that well organised, and besides, his team had only briefly assaulted a constable.

Oh that’s okay then!

Sherlock wasn’t happy with Nilsen.

@Lhandon_Nilsen When is Sherlock happy with Nilsen? The same likelihood as t-shirt and shorts weather on the Breen homeworld.🤣

[Lhandon_Nilsen]

Ah yes, as a HCO I can confirm that this is a valid way of making a comms conne @VLen Kel

There was only a starfleet logo on her viewscreen, which gave off intermittent chirps. Rox alternated knocking on the screen and repeating the woman’s name.

Rox: ::knock, knock, knock:: Peri? ::knock, knock, knock:: Peri? ::knock, knock, knock:: Peri?

Sure enough, across the room, Lieutenant Nilsen seemed to be arguing with the computer...again. She wondered if Chief Arlill was messing with him again or if this was a Nilsen issue. Personally, she found the computer quite pleasant and responsive.

Of course @Lt Aine Olive Sherlock would find thr computer "pleasant and responsive" 😂

Sherlock: The Ops people on this ship can be a little ::beat, eyes shifting back and forth looking for a word:: odd

I can't argue with that, it's true 😅

Apparently “leave was a great time to get transitioned and to step into your new role at your own pace.” Which turned out to be code for “you’re not going to get to relax and enjoy shore leave.”

@Avander Promontory when does anybody relax and enjoy shore leave on the OEB? It’s just not realistic.
