21:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew. It saddens me to report that the player of Dr. Shadow is in the hospital, and is on oxygen. I'm sure you will join me in wishing her the best and sending prayers her way. |
21:02 | Cdr_Hart | Indeed. Prayers to you, Doc. |
21:03 | Lt_Andrews | Same sentiments here. Wishing you the best, Doc Shadow. |
21:03 | Lt_Banning | All my prayers, Doc. |
21:04 | CaptMcCloud | ::nods:: Indeed. :ighs:: I hope the week has been good for the rest of you. Have you all read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:04 | Cdr_Hart | Yes and no, Skipper. |
21:04 | Lt_Andrews | Yes and No, Sir. |
21:04 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir. |
21:05 | CaptMcCloud | Okay then, let's ... |
21:05 | ... | =/\= BEGIN SIM =/\= |
21:05 | NOTE: Names appearing in GREEN indicate NPCs. |
21:05 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::in the briefing room, watching the others file in:: |
21:08 | Aliens1-4 | All > ::move into the briefing room and take their seats.:: |
21:08 | EnsNguyen | CNS > ::escorts Bugs and Tweety in:: |
21:09 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::comes in with the others and takes his seat:: |
21:09 | Cdr_Hart | AXO > :n the bridge, in the captain's seat:: |
21:10 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::walks into the briefing room with Sylvester and Elmer, takes a seat:: |
21:11 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ ALL ] ::nods to the group:: Welcome back. I hope you enjoyed the tour of the ship, and got to know a bit more about us, and how we do things. |
21:12 | Alien3 | Tweety >[ CO ] ::nods:: I found it all very enlightening, Captain. It is most curious that you must remain within teh confines of this... "ship," though. |
21:13 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Tweety ] That is why we have many recreational things to do. iIt helps keep our crews' minds occupied and active. It is crucial aboard starships. |
21:14 | EnsNguyen | CNS > ::nods in agreement:: |
21:15 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Aliens ] The question is... ::looks at each of the four aliens:: ...Does this give you any insight to solving your own problems? |
21:16 | Alien1 | Bugs >[ CO ] Well, Cap. I, for one, would not mind some rules as long as they were reasonable. |
21:17 | Alien4 | Sylvester >[ Bugs ] We do consider our rules reasonable. |
21:19 | Alien1 | Bugs >[ Sylvester ] Oh, is that so? How would YOU like being restricted to a small part of our vast area? To an explorer, like me, it is maddening. |
21:20 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Sylvester ] Why have their kind been restricted to the area that they have been? |
21:21 | Alien2 | Elmer >[ CO ] Because they are blue. They are impure. |
21:22 | Alien3 | Tweety >[ Elmer ] We are not. We are as pure as you whites. |
21:22 | Alien4 | Sylvester >[ Tweety ] Not according to the Supreme Leader. |
21:23 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Sylvester ] If I may, what does the Supreme Leader base his claim on? |
21:24 | Cdr_Hart | AXO > ::considers bringing up the video feed for the briefing room, but knows the sensors would not show the aliens:: |
21:25 | Alien4 | Sylvester >[ SCI ] ::turns to him and thinks a moment:: I really don't know. He is the supremem Leader. He knows these things. |
21:26 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Sylvester ] What if we were able to scan your real forms... make a comparison? |
21:26 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::nods in agreement to this suggestion and watches the aliens for their reactions:: |
21:27 | Alien4 | Sylvester >[ SCI ] How would you do this? |
21:28 | Alien3 | Tweety >[ SCI ] :ays at the same time as Sylvester::You could do somet'ing like that? |
21:29 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Sylvester/Tweety ] I could certainly give it a try. Our ship's sensors are pretty sensitive. If all of you are riding on our probe, I should be able to scan the casing and check for your individual readings. |
21:30 | Alien1 | Bugs >[ SCI ] That would be fascinating, Doc. |
21:31 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ Sylvester/Tweety ] Would you be willing to allow this? |
21:31 | Alien3 | Tweety >[ CO ] I would be, Captain. Like bugs said, this would be very interesting. |
21:32 | Alien4 | Sylvester >[ CO ] ::his ears twist back in indecision, then he finally nods:: Yesth. I would be willing. |
21:33 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] ::nods to Banning:: Go ahead, Lieutenant. |
21:33 | Lt_Banning | SCI > ::taps on the table console, sending the order to the science officer on the bridge:: |
21:34 | EnsSaunders | SCI2 >[ AXO ] I have a request from the briefing room to scan the casing of the probe, Commander. |
21:35 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ SCI2 ] What are you waiting for? SCan it and be sure to send the progress to the briefing room. |
21:36 | EnsSaunders | SCI2 AXO ::blushes and turns back to the console, starting the scan:: |
21:37 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :ees the data being sent to him and puts it up on the wall screen:: |
21:38 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::looks to the screen, then to the aliens, as he sees the outline of the probe, and waht appears to be arendition of the sensor beam sliding across the casing:: |
21:38 | Alien4 | Sylvester >[ SCI ] ::looks at the screen:: What's that? |
21:40 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Sylvester ] That, is a computer rendition of hte probe, and the sensor beam checking the casing, and... :oints out a tiny pinpoint of light:: ...that is one of you. |
21:40 | Alien3 | Tweety >[ SCI ] But which one of us? |
21:42 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Tweety ] Unknown, actually. The sensor are registering your presence, but not your actual color. You will note the data scrolling up. |
21:42 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::watches the screen, and glances to the aliens:: |
21:43 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ SCI2 ] Put up your findings on the main screen as well. |
21:43 | EnsSaunders | SCI2 >[ AXO ] Aye, Sir ::does so:: |
21:45 | Alien2 | Elmer >[ SCI ] What does all of that mean, and how do we know you aren't just putting some strange stuff up there to fool us? |
21:45 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Elmer ] The data tells me what you are all made of, and... I wouldn't do that to you, but I guess you will have to trust me on that. |
21:46 | Alien2 | Elmer > ::just sits back in his seat and says nothing more:: |
21:47 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :ays a bit more attention to the aliens than to the screen:: |
21:48 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ ALL ] Okay, here is another one of you, not too far from teh first. ::watches the scan:: And, you will see the bio-readings are an exact match for the first one. |
21:49 | Alien4 | Sylvester >[ NOIP] Probably the two Blues. ::crosses his arms over is chest:: |
21:50 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Sylvester ] ::nods::Yes it could be. BUt, here comes the next one. ::watches the data scroll up and then the computer's analysis:: And number 3 is an exact match for 1 and 2. |
21:51 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::raises brows and looks to the aliens:: |
21:52 | Alien2 | Elmer >[ NOIP ] That must be another Blue! One who hasn't made their presence known. |
21:53 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ Elmer ] ::nods, again:: You could be right. Let's wait until the final scan is complete. |
21:54 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ NOIP ] ::watches the data:: So, are those the aliens clinging to the probe? |
21:55 | EnsSaunders | SCI2 >[ AXO ] Apparently so, Sir. And, another interesting fact: there is a slight protective bubble around each of them that contains gasses from the nebula. |
21:56 | Cdr_Hart | AXO >[ SCI2 ] ::hmmphs:: Kind of like us in an EV suit. |
21:58 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > ::watches the scan continue and come to a fourth entity. Waits for the analysis:: [ NOIP ] The fourth one is exactly the same. But, if they are all the same, why is one considered blue and one considered white? |
21:59 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ TAC ] A very good question, Rob. ::taps teh console to see if a deeper scan can be done:: |
22:00 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |
22:00 | Cdr_Hart | ::AA:: |
22:00 | Lt_Andrews | ::aa:: |
22:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
22:02 | CaptMcCloud | ::smiles:: So, what do you suppose a deeper scan will reveal, if anything? We will definitely find out next week, and there will not be much time pass between sims. Possibly ten minutes. Any questions to this point? |
22:02 | Cdr_Hart | None here, Skipper. |
22:02 | Lt_Andrews | No, Sir. |
22:02 | Lt_Banning | None here either, Sir. |
22:03 | CaptMcCloud | Great. I hope you all have a great week, and remember to leave Dr. Shadow's player in your thoughts and prayers. |
