| 21:20 | Runiria: | EMP >[ CO ] So, Captain. You've been back in Spaculaan space for a week now. What do you think? |
| 21:21 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ EMP ] Well, it's been quiet, and I will admit that I liked the warm reception we received on our arrival. |
| 21:23 | Runiria: | EMP ?[ CO ] :: leans over a little conspiratorily:: TO be honest, Captain McCloud, I have been a fan of Starfleet since the first time the Eagle entered Spaculaan space so many years ago. That was under... :: thinks a moment:: Rear Admiral Fyrstk, but he wasn't an admiral back then. |
| 21:24 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ EMP ] :: Does not hide the look of surprise:: Really? |
| 21:25 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: also glances, surprised, at the emperor. Remembers those days and the Spaculaan space fleet was not so congenial to the Eagle:: |
| 21:26 | Runiria: | EMP >[ CO ] Yes. Oh, believe me, my stance on Starfleet and the Federation has always been a sore spot for my father. |
| 21:27 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ EMP ] I applaud your forward thinking, Emperor. |
| 21:28 | Runiria: | EMP >[ CO ] I wish I could just have you call me Runi, but... I know that would not be within protocol. |
| 21:29 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ EMP ] :: Smiles:: No, it would not, but you even suggesting that suggest a friendship that is worth having. |
| 21:30 | Runiria: | EMP >[ CO ] :: smiles broadly:: As it meant to sound, Captain. :: enjoys some of the cake:: |
| 21:32 | Cdr_Hart | (How would one address and emperor? Is sire, or your majest appropriate?) |
| 21:32 | Lt_Andrews | ( :: shrugs:: "Your Emperorship?" ) |
| 21:34 | Lt_Banning | ("His Imperial Majesty") |
| 21:34 | Lt_Andrews | (I was close/) |
| 21:35 | CaptMcCloud | (Always good to ask, I believe you can also address him as Emperorum") |
| 21:37 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ EMP ] Might I ask, Your Imperial Majesty, what of some of the other factions within the empire? |
| 21:37 | =/\=ACTION: Shadow feels a slight emotion of dread come from both the emperor and the fleet admiral at the question. =/\= |
| 21:39 | Lt_Shadow | AMO>;;looks toward the Emperor and the Admiral to see if there were anything he was needed to help with;; |
| 21:39 | Runiria: | EMP >[ A-XO ] A couple do still exist, and have been one of the reasons we have been so welcoming for Starfleet to watch over the shipping traffic. |
| 21:40 | Pompirio: | ADM >[ CO ] I do have complete files to send to your ship, updating you on the remaing factions. |
| 21:41 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Adm ] :: nods:: I look forwar4d to catching up on them. |
| 21:41 | Lt_Shadow | AMO>Emperor, please excuse me for any lack of protocol but how bad is the disruption to your shipping, ven with Starfleet around? |
| 21:42 | Runiria: | EMP >[ ALL ] But, why this talk of unpleasant things. Please... enjoy. :: looks to Shadow:: [ CMO ] How do you lie OUR music Dr. Shadow? |
| 21:43 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: notes the quick change of subject. Now is really looking forward to those files:: |
| 21:44 | Lt_Banning: | SCI > :: also noted the quick change:: [ CNS ] (whisper) Would have slmost gotten whiplash at that change of subject. |
| 21:44 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>It's most beautiful, like the wilds of the mountain valleys at sunrise with the birds singing the sun awake |
| 21:46 | EnsNguyen: | CNS >[ SCI ] ::laughs:: Yes. I agree. Nice analogy, too. |
| 21:47 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;;smiles over to the Counselor;; |
| 21:47 | Runiria: | EMP >[ CMO ] Oh, you have such a way with words, too, Doctor. I would so enjoy listening to you talk some more. |
| 21:48 | =/\=ACTION: Shadow can feel a bit of affection coming from the emperor toward him. =/\= |
| 21:48 | Lt_Shadow | CMO> Whenever you would wish to, Great Lord, the pleasure would be mine |
| 21:49 | EnsNguyen: | CNS > :: raises a brow, kind of reading the emperor's body language.:: |
| 21:50 | Runiria: | EMP >[ CMO ] Oh, I would enjoy a nice walk in the gardens with you, Dr. Shadow. Right after meal. |

| 21:52 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;;smiles to the others as well;; |
| 21:53 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ OPS ] :: whispers:: Then I'm not just imagining it? |
| 21:54 | LtCdrWren: | OPS >[ A-XO ] :: snuggles lightly to her hubby:: No, I don't think so. |
| 21:54 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: furrows his brows, looking between them all:: |
| 21:55 | Runiria: | EMP >[ CO ] I would like for Admiral Pompirio to show you our currrent operations, and our new project, Captain. |
| 21:56 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ EMP ] :: nods:: I would be open to that. |
| 21:57 | Runiria: | EMP >[ CO ] And the rest of your people can just enjoy themselves, to dancing or just listening to the music. |
| 21:59 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ EMP ] ::nods:: I am sure they would enjoy that as well. |
| 21:59 | LtCdrWren: | OPS >[ A-XO ] Ooo... dancing. |
