For the illusion weavers did fall upon him, and his dreams became omens, the harbingers of reality. Unable to control his thoughts, they brought him low -- despair overtook him, and all was brought low by Death."

Our next target is Protok Nor, a Cardassian space station in the T'koras system. In addition to one class M planet and the station, there is also a shipyard in the system. [19:05] 12In the past three days, the situation has grown more and more troubling: the Son'a and the Tholians have officially jumped into the war on the Dominion side, and several of the Starfleet task groups have been bogged down by counter-attacks.

[21:57] ;-) Disappared mid-battle, then reappeared 15 minutes later fully repaired from the other ship's perspectives. ;) Hey, all the ships were using their advantages. ;) [21:58] why don't we do that more often? :P Because it's rather comic-booky. And I try to avoid comic-book plots. ;) [21:58] that was kind of a rhtorical question ;) But Dark's sim seemed to scream comic book to me. ;) [21:58] hehehe [21:58] hey, comic books are fun 8;D In moderation, sure. ;) I do about two tongue-in-cheek sims a year. ;) [21:59] I like comic books :) I'm trying to think of an idea for this Halloween. ;) [21:59] I only read one comic book any more. [21:59] *coughhackstarcoughwarscough* If anybody has a thought, send it. :) [21:59] he he he [21:59] Ooh I can come up with one, if ya really want me to ;) [21:59] Nighty night everyone :) [21:59] How about a sim like "Back to the Future", where we screw up our parents? ;-) [21:59] 'night red For perspective, two years ago we ended up in a universe totally occupied with two sides of the galaxy fighting over Kiwis. ;) [22:00] seeya Red ^_^ [22:00] Or ,more aptly, if anyone has a thought, cough it... Last year, I replaced most of the crew with alternates from other universes. [22:00] That was interesting In both cases, comic book wackiness ensued. ;) [22:00] One of 'em stuck around... :) Heather still hasn't forgiven me for that one. ;) [22:00] lol [22:00] Me and Nephy hiding in a Jeffries tube from the women, that was hilarious [22:00] Night Mouse, Sirius, Jester and all :) [22:00] * Sirius can't remember it all 'night, Red. :) ::hugs:: I thought she was gonna strangle me when I made her baby come out with horns. ;) [22:01] Nephy didn't take the whole relationsip thing very well, did he?

[22:02] went for spanish then, eh? Yep. :) [22:03] what're the dates on those? The name of the ship is Coronado. [22:03] Aw, is my sim renamed for good? Seemed appropriate. ;) ::nods:: It fits, Heiwa, trust me. ;) Fits both the A- and B-plots, in fact. [22:03] YOUR sim? which one is that? Heiwa provided the A-plot for Fin de Epoca. [22:03] I see. [22:03] Yeah, his sim? How come me and Santi don't get our own...never mind... [22:03] ::pokes jester:: the dates :P [22:03] ;-) Endgame starts the 30th. [22:04] Is he going to go mad again? The others start every three weeks thereafter. ::chuckles:: Heiwa wrote the plot. I liked it. I'm using it. ;) [22:04] anything good scheduled for june? If all goes according to plan, June will end with Fin de Epoca. Panache will start in early July. The anniversary sim is called "Luck of Ulysses." [22:05] * Sirius will probably miss mad sims in june [22:05] ...BTW, is Tollory ever going to become a real Counselor, so I don't have to listen to his whining any more? [22:05] wat starts around september? That's a bit foggier, Mouse. I've got various ideas. Here's some names to whet your appetite: Black Ships. A double sim called Kyrie Eleison/Agnus Dei. A nasty little one tentatively titled Illusion Weavers. [22:06] naaasteeee What else. ::goes for his plot sheet:: [22:06] *** Dryden_Tollory has quit IRC (Connection timed out ) [22:06] "I sawr something nasty in th'woodshad!" Ah. Song of the Yllmari. That'll probably be after Luck of Ulysses. They're kind of tied together. Another really nasty one called Eyes Bright with Purpose. And finally, something I'm still working on called Jackals and Babes. That title will probably change. I hate it. [22:07] naaasteeee [22:07] Jackals is good. [22:07] Babes is medeival. [22:07] works okay I think ^_^ [22:07] Luck of Ulysses.....I'm not liking the sound of this one [22:07] Dingos and Babes, maybe... ::grins but says nothing:: [22:08] the oddessy is pure crap :P My favorite name of the group is Kyrie Eleison. Really fits the sim it goes with. :) [22:08] I like the name myself Jester [22:08] I'm guessing we meet someone called that? Nope. It's Greek for "Heaven have mercy." [22:08] Sounds like a name. Agnus Dei is similar. It's Latin, and means "To Know God." [22:09] I think it's time I hit the sack. G'night everybody But it's a bit broader than that. [22:09] Goodnight, Reaver.
