21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew. Good to see you, and I hope you've had a good week. |
21:03 | ... | I'd like to thank Dr. Shadow for the assist on the log, this week. It was most appreciated. |
21:03 | LtShadow | you're welcome sir |
21:03 | CaptMcCloud | Have you all read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:04 | Cdr_Hart | Yas, no questions, Skipper. |
21:04 | LtShadow | y/n sir |
21:04 | AndyDroid | No questions, Captain. :: thinks how he had a lot to do with the log too:: |
21:04 | Lt_Banning | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:05 | CaptMcCloud | :: chuckles:: Yes, you did, Andy. Thank you. |
21:05 | ... | With that said, let's... |

21:06 | NOTE: Names in GREEN indicate NPCs. |
21:06 | OPS >[ CMO ] We ready? |
21:06 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: back on the bridge, looking over data on the alien ship:: |
21:07 | LtShadow | CMO>;; In Sickbay with a now dressed Andy::>[OPS] I think so, any areas that you might be interested in Andy? |
21:07 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::in the science lab, working with his team to fix some more of the files:: |
21:08 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ CMO ] I would be greatly interested in visiting the bridge and engineering. |
21:09 | LtShadow | CMO>{Andy}We'll have to talk to the Captain about those but I'll see what I can do |
21:09 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ Synth ] That is pretty ambitious. |
21:10 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: raises brows and looks to Wren:: [ OPS ] The doctor did ask where I would be interested in going, Commander. |
21:11 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ Synth ] :: smiles:: Yes, he did at that. |
21:11 | LtShadow | CMO>[OPS] remember V'ger's programming? Learn all that is learnable and bring back the knowledge |
21:12 | LtShimoya | SCI2 >[ SCI ] Troy, I think I have another file readable. |
21:13 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: moves over to the other console:: [ SCI2 ] Yes. Good work. We now know they call themselves the Synthions. |
21:13 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] I know a lot of the ship is given over to what you might consider frivolities like individual sleeping quarters, recreation areas and food preparation but they are needful for us |
21:14 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CMO ] :: nods:: I do remember that. |
21:14 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] Unfortunately we cannot just plug in and get all we need in short order |
21:15 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: cocks his head, then furrows his brows:: ] CMO ] V'Ger? |
21:16 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ CMO ] That does seem a most inefficient way to learn, Dr. Shadow. |
21:16 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ SYnth ] If only it were that easy for us, Andy. |
21:17 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ OPS ] And why not, Commander? |
21:18 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy} V'ger was a space probe launched back in the early 20th century from Earth to learn all it could and send back the knowledge it gathered to Earth so the humans, generations later, could learn about its travels |
21:18 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ Synth ] We are biological units, Andy. Everything inside us is organic. |
21:19 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ OPS/CMO ] That does seem to be a hindrance to your kind. Would it not be more efficient to combine your organics with synthetics? |
21:20 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] we use models with materials as close to the bodies we have to learn on how to repair them and such things may be beneficial for some but they can also enslave at the same time |
21:20 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ Synth ] And be like the Borg? No, thank you. We prefer it our way. |
21:21 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ OPS ] :: raises brows:: Hm! Most curious. |
21:22 | LtShadow | CMO<[Andy} The Borg have a gestalt or hive mind so that one knows what the others are doing at all times. most humanoids are too individualistic to be able to accept that readily |
21:23 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ CMO ] Curious. I wonder if I was originally a part of a gestalt. |
21:24 | LtShadow | CMO>;; goes over to one of the Computers and pulls up the entries on the Borg for Andy to read over;;>[Andy] It's possible but with the power being drained it might have caused a separation from the others for the time |
21:24 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ Synth ] if you were all linked to your ship, it is a good possibility. |
21:25 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: goes over and looks through the data for the Borg:: |
21:25 | LtCdrWren | OPS > :: goes over and watches. Gives a skeptical look to Dr. Shadow:: |
21:26 | LtShadow | CMO>;;goes to another console and starts pulling up data on the other races that have a gestalt type mind or are a hive culture in both nature and fiction |
21:27 | AndyDroid | ASynth >[ CMO ] The Borg did appear to have a more efficient way of existence going. |
21:27 | LtShadow | CMO>::Sends the info over to Andy's terminal for when he's ready for it;; |
21:28 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: scrolls through the data quicker than the human eyes can detect:: |
21:28 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] Efficient maybe, but without joy or satisfaction of doing a job well you enjoyed |
21:29 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ CMO ] I do not understand why one should be required ot enjoy one's duty. |
21:30 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CMO ] :: says quietly:: Hoo boy. DId we just make a big mistake? |
21:32 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ NOIP ] I do not understand why the Federation resisted assimilation. |
21:32 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] if one cannot achieve satisfaction within from being able to do a job well, then some do not see what they do as important but a drudge job weighing down body, mind and soul |
21:33 | ... | CMO>[Andy] we're too many individualists to be able to handle that |
21:33 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ Synth ] We cherish our individualism, Andy |
21:34 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ CMO ] I do not understand this... "enjoy." Is this an emotion or a feeling? |
21:35 | LtShadow | CMO>{Andy] Each of us is unique in our persons and our experiences, even identical twins and triplets and we crave that individualism and "Enjoy " is both a feeling of doing well in a task while feeling pleasure in doing it |
21:35 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: stesp out onto the bridge from his ready room.:: [ A-XO ] Just finished a conversation with Command. They're sending a ship out for the remaining synthetic crew, and probably Andy. |
21:37 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ CMO ] It would still seem an inefficient way to do anything, Dr. Shadow. Emotions and feelings would seem to get in the way of performing one's duties. |
21:37 | LtCdrWren | OPS > :: bites her lip in thought:: |
21:38 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] So, how long do we have to sit on this then? |
21:38 | LtShadow | CMO>;; goes over to a desk and brings over a beautifully made ring out of a cabochon tiger's-eye and silver wire;;>[Andy} this is something I made and I'd like you to have it in the spirit of friendship |
21:39 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] Couple more days. They're sending out the 'Borath' to pick everything up. |
21:40 | LtShadow | CMO> [Andy] they might but they also prevent conflict when the spaces get too narrow and people start feeling pressured to do something they don't want to even if it's for their own good
|
21:40 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: takes the object and examines it:: [ CMO ] What is its purpose, Dr. Shadow? |
21:41 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: tries digging through more information to see if we can find out where the Synthion originate from.:: |
21:41 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] to wear as a decoration and to remember the giver as one that thought the friendship was worth the memory |
21:42 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: furrows his brows:: [ CMO ] I do not understand. |
21:43 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ Synth ] Just hold onto it, Andy. Hopefully, with a little more time with the crew, you will. |
21:44 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: Looks at the object, then to Wren. Gives a brief nod and puts the object in his pocket:: [ CMO ] Dr. Shadow? |
21:44 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] we give presents of different forms, of things we hope the recipient will appreciate to help them remember the person that gifted them with the object since we can often forget things over the years |
21:44 | LtShadow | ( sorry slow typer) |
21:45 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CMO ] Give him time on that concept, Doc. Right now, he has no clue why he would even want to remember us. |
21:45 | LtShadow | CMO>;; nods;; |
21:47 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ CMO ] Dr. Shadow? I am now... wearing clothing. Was I not when I was brought aboard the USS Eagle? |
21:47 | LtShadow | CMO>{OPS and Andy] I just had that one ring handy, I also have one with a small datahedron to help hold more memories and no you were not |
21:48 | AndyDroid | (He did have armor on, Doc) |
21:48 | LtShadow | ( Sorry forgot) |
21:49 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] you did have armor on Andy;;takes him over to it;; |
21:50 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: examines the aromor:: [ NOIP ] It appears to be constructed of a light, yet, almost indestructable material. |
21:51 | LtCdrWren | OPS > :: sighs as she watches him examine the armor:: |
21:51 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] So, we still have a couple days to dig out more information, and hopefully find our own answers. |
21:52 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] :: nods:: We still have to deal with their kin out here. |
21:53 | LtShadow | CMO>;;nods;; >[Andy]I'd love to study it some more myself Andy |
21:53 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: examines the helmet:: [ NOIP ] It appears to have communications devices inside the unit. |
21:54 | ... | Synth >[ CMO ] Why do you not do so? |
21:55 | >tAndrews | TAC >[ CO ] Captain, I'm detecting some waivering in sector 49A. Possibly a cloaking device. |
21:55 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ TAC ] :: Moves to his chair:: Yellow alert. |
21:55 | =/\= Yellow Alert =/\= =/\= Yellow Alert =/\= |
21:55 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy] yes you do as well as a number of other devices scattered throughout it and I have only done a cursory examination of it but I would love to get a sample of the material to study even more |
21:57 | AndyDroid | Synth >[ CMO ] :: rises and looks at the indicators around the ward:: The ship has gone to yellow alert. |
21:58 | LtCdrWren | OPS > :: moves to a console and enters her codes to see what's going on:: |
21:58 | LtShadow | CMO>[Andy} yes something is going on and the Captain thought it would be prudent to be at the ready in case we have to go into battle |
21:59 | AndyDroid | Synth > :: watches Wren, then oves over to see what she is looking at:: |
22:00 | LtAndrews | TAC >[ CO ] Captain, it is one of their ships. Their actively scanning the area. |

22:00 | AndyDroid | :: Mimics again AA:: |
22:00 | Lt_Banning | ::AA:: |
22:01 | CaptMcCloud | Nicely done. |
22:01 | ... | We will pick up here... maybe a few minutes later if anyone wants to do a log. |
22:01 | .. | Any questions? |
22:02 | Cdr_Hart | No, Sir. |
22:02 | AndyDroid | No, Captain. |
22:02 | Lt_Banning | None, Sir. |
22:02 | LtShadow | ;;rh;; |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud | Yes, Doctor? |
22:03 | LtShadow | I'm willing to do another log if it is so desired |
22:03 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you. I will see if we can get another one done. |
22:03 | LtShadow | alright at your convenience |
22:04 | CaptMcCloud | Everyone have a great week. |
22:04 | ... | Dismissed. |
