21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, and Season's Greetings to all of you! I am hoping this evening finds you all with joy in your hearts. |
21:02 | Lt_Shadow | and you too, Captain |
21:03 | CaptMcCloud | I know it is a difficult time, what with all the experts saying to stay home, but we will have to make the best of it. My wife's family always held a big Christmas Eve bash, but that is out the window this year. |
21:03 | ... | So, have you all read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:04 | Cdr_Hart | Doing our best to cope, and no questions, Sir. |
21:04 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and no, Captain. |
21:04 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir. :: points to his Santa hat and smiles:: |
21:05 | Lt_Shadow | ;;rh;; |
21:05 | CaptMcCloud | Dr. Shadow? |
21:05 | Lt_Shadow | do we meet next week? |
21:06 | CaptMcCloud | We do not. Traditionally, we take the week between Christmas and New Years off, and despite Covid, this year will be no different. |
21:07 | Cdr_Hart | (Yeah! We're not letting Covid beat us!) |
21:08 | Lt_Shadow | alright thank you sir |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud | Okay then, let's... |
21:09 | ... | =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= |
21:O9 | NOTE: Names in GREEN indicate NPCs. |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: back on the bridge:: |
21:11 | Runiria | EMP >:: comes searching for Shadow, his entourage following him:: |
21:12 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] :: standing near the ramp that leads tot he upper level:: We're ready to depart, Sir. |
21:12 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>:: In sickbay, playing on his harp a tender song for the season, full of hope and promise;; |
21:12 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC > :: carefully maneuvering the Falcon to as not to hit any asteroids and to stay off the Frinkta "radar.":: |
21:13 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI > :: watching sensors and feeding listening post coordinates to helm:: [ TAC ] We should be seeing their base anytime now, Rob. |
21:14 | Runiria | EMP > :: enters sickbay and smiles the instant he hears the music:: |
21:15 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] ::nods:: As soon as the emperoro leaves the ship, we will depart. |
21:16 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] I'm really surprised the Frinkta haven't sent their ship out here by now. |
21:16 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;; looks up and smiles to the Emperor and his entourage;; Greetings Majesty |
21:17 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ SCI ] Yeah, I think I see it now, Troy. Best guess is five minuts out. |
21:18 | Runiria | EMP >[ CMO ] Oh, please do not stop. It is beautiful. |
21:19 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ TAC ] Confirmed. I have it on sensors now, and ... I hope these sensor readings are wrong. This place looks... BEAT! |
21:20 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;; had been continuing his playing while greeting the Emperor;; |
21:21 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ SCI ] Maybe it's just that way on the outside. And the trail is still strong? |
21:22 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>:: nods over to the desk;; A present of the season for you with all my best wishes for peace between your peoples |
21:22 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > ::furrows his brows:: [ CO ] What is he waiting for? |
21:23 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>:: on the desk was a datahedron filled with the music Shadow had been playing;; |
21:25 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] I believe he wanted to say goodbye to Dr. Shadow. |
21:26 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > ::nods:: Okay. [ OPS ] Hailey, let us know the minute the emperor beams down. |
21:27 | LtCdrWren | OPS > ::raises a brow to silently tell Tom she already had teh in mind:: [ A-XO ] Aye,... Commander. |
21:28 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>:: Included in the collection were both bawdy songs as well as more sedate and discreet ones that would be appropriate for any gathering;;
|
21:29 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC > :: pilotst eh Falcon closer, looking at the base:: [ SCI ] Wow, that thing IS beat. Any chance we find the ship somewhere around here? |
21:30 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ A-XO ] No. I believe the ship actually docked with the base. I am reading all kinds of malfunctions on there too. |
21:31 | Runiria | EMP >[ CMO ] While I would love to listen to more, I must be leaving, Dr. Shadow. |
21:32 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ SCI ] Somewhow I knew you were going to say that. Recommendations? |
21:32 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;; gets the datahedron and hands it to the Emperor;; Then you'll be able to hear my songs whenever you want |
21:33 | Lt_Shadow | CMO> I wish you well in whatever endeavor you engage in and I pray for peace for both your peoples |
21:34 | Runiria | EMP > :: takes the data-hedran:: [ CMO ] I... I have no words to express my gratitude to you. |
21:35 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ TAC ] Get as close as we can so I can get more detailed scans. |
21:35 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>Then put that gratitude into being a kind and wise ruler who looks out for all his subjects from the least to the greatest |
21:36 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ SCI ] Your wish is my command. :: nudges the shuttle closer to the Frinkta base.:: |
21:38 | Runiria | EMP >[ CMO ] Oh, I have been attempting to do just that, Shadow. That is why I wanted to talk with Bakrat so badly. It's just... ::Looks inot Shadow's eyes:: I just wish I could properly show you. |
21:39 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI > :tarts getting more detailed scans. Sighs and shakes his head:: |
21:40 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC > :: hears the sigh:: [ SCi ] What's up? |
21:41 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>;; offers his hands to the Emperor, inviting telepathic communication;; |
21:42 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ TAC ] The place is over crowded. I'm betting they have twice the recommended occupancy for the base. Air quality is poor, and, like I said, numerous malfunctions. No wonder we were able to sneak up on them so easily. |
21:44 | Runiria | EMP > ::gives a slight nod of asscent. Shadow can now "see" the very deep affection Runiria has for him:: |
21:44 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ SCI ] You think our quarry snuck op so easily on them too? |
21:46 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ TAC ] I'd bet my pips on it. Wait! I'm detecting an energy signature. There is aa ships ready to emerge. |
21:47 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ SCI ] What are the chances this is them? |
21:48 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>:: The Emperor can also see the deep level of affection that Shadow also has for him;; |
21:48 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ O{PS ] Any word from the Falcon at all, Commander? |
21:48 | LtCdrWren | OPS >[ CO ] Nothing yet, Captain. |
21:50 | Runiria | EMP > ::there is an element of surprise felt as Runiria learns of Shadow's own affection:: [ CMO ] Might I...I... |
21:50 | Lt_Shadow | CMO..;; nods;; |
21:51 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ TAC ] :: still watching the sensors:: I think there is a very good chance. |
21:52 | Runiria | EMP > ::leans in and softly kisses Shadow, letting the kiss linger and be felt:: |
21:53 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] I guess it's a good thing we're headed out that way. |
21:54 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC > :: watches teh ship emerge from the base, then sees it disappear:: [ SCI ] It cloaked. Do you still have it? |
21:56 | Lt_Shadow | CMO>:: returns the kiss, letting the true depth of the affection that Shadow has for him be known;; ~ My people do not believe that gender is the only way of determining who one can love ~ |
21:56 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ TAC ] For the most part, yes. Now they were really tricky. Before they cloaked, I was detecting a Frinkta transponder, but it IS the same energy signature we detected around Spacula Prime. |
21:58 | Runiria | EMP >[ CMO ] Unfortunately, the Spaculaan people are not so advanced as to recognize a belief like that. But, I am glad to hear you say that. |
21:59 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ SCI ] And yet, they had a Spaculaan transponder then, right? |
21:59 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ TAC ]] Exactly. |
22:00 | Lt_Andrews | @ TAC >[ SCI ] Will we be able to follow them unseen? |
22:00 | Lt_Banning | @ SCI >[ TAC ] If we're careful. |
22:00 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |

22:03 | CaptMcCloud | Well done. We shall have a few hours pass between sims. In that time, Runiria will have finally departed, and the Falcon will be shadowing the mysterious ship. |
22:03 | ... | Again, we will not be simming next week, but will pick up the first Wednesday in January. |
22:03 | .. | Any questions? |
22:04 | Cdr_Hart | None, Sir, but Merry Christmas to everyone. ANd be safe for the new year. |
22:04 | Lt_Shadow | no sir just Merry Christmas, Happy New Year , a Prosperous Kwanzaa and all other season's greetiings to everyone |
22:05 | Lt_Andrews | No questions, and I echo the XO's sentiments. |
22:06 | Lt_Banning | No questions, and I, too want to wish you all the happiest of holidays, and yeah, be safe. |
22:07 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you all, and especially for being here throughout the year. Have a great holiday. |
