*** Log file opened: 5/14/2001 10:48:34 PM [22:48] ENIO_Ma`Aru [Kari@kdfs-23937.rapidsys.com] has joined #USS-Coro [22:48] Savant sets mode: +o ENIO_Ma`Aru [22:48] [COMC_Ironside] [reaver@kdfs-15095.ktchnr1.on.wave.home.com] has joined #USS-Coro [22:48] Nizumiko [somewhere@kdfs-35116.powersurfr.com] has joined #USS-Coro [22:49] Savant sets mode: +oo Nizumiko [COMC_Ironside] [22:53] [COMC_Ironside] is now known as Fraser [22:57] Savant is in the lounge, standing by the windows, looking into the main room, pleasantly [22:57] <<7th?>> [22:57] Fraser is now known as Ironside [22:57] ((yup)) [22:58] ::enters the lounge, intensely focused on the PADD in his hand:: [22:58] ::sits in the corner impatiently, waiting:: [22:59] ::notes Ironside and smiles at him:: Good evening, sir! how are you? Got the sand out of your ears i hope? [22:59] Sonya [zunite@kdfs-384.dialup.umn.edu] has joined #USS-Coro [22:59] Sonya is now known as Zunite_Oswald [22:59] ::smirks and sits down:: I did, thank you. I'm still attempting to make sense of this holographic message, however. The audio track is unsalvagable, but we might be able to clear up some of the video. [23:00] Nizumiko enters as well, dressed casually - well, casually for her, in any case. A kimono of some pale yellow colour with bamboo patterns on it, and a green sash... she's carrying her two swords under the bright belt, and has her hair done up in a rather complicated style that woudl probably be attractive at her home, but was a little too much here.:: [23:00] ::enters and looks for Ironside:: [23:00] ::takes a long drink from her red colored Bl'aghfroc:: [23:00] ::goes up to Ironside:: sir? [23:00] ::Savant takes a step towards ironside, but unfortunately for her, overcompensates again, and tumbles down the few stairs, landing clean on her forehead and sliding forward, crumpling [23:01] ::helps Savant up:: you'll get use to it... walking is hard work... [23:01] Nizumiko glances about before entering, stepping quietly up to the bartender and murmuring a few words:: [23:01] Look at the last portion of the message before it finishes, for example. ::displays the map, the audio track nothing but garbled sound. The message soon fades back into the image of the alien, which speaks for a few moments more, then morphs into a non-coporeal being before pulsing what appears to be speech and fading out:: [23:01] ::taps Ironside on the shoulder, being in sort of a hurry:: [23:02] ::nearly pulls Zunite off of her feet in the process for getting up, grinning at her:: I hope so Ma'am... it seems to be a little overcomplicated, to me. ::turns to ironside's display:: [23:02] ::looks up from the PADD, handing it to Savant before looking at his daughter:: yes? [23:02] ah, thank you sir ^_^ [23:02] ::takes the padd and examines it:: [23:02] Savant sets mode: +o Zunite_Oswald [23:02] Can I have use of your Marine's for a few hours? [23:02] please? [23:02] ::blinks once or twice:: Beg pardon? [23:02] ::starts to laugh at the padd, grinning a rather foolish grin, very amused:: [23:03] Nizumiko accepts a bottle and a small porcelain cup before settling off in a chair by herself [23:03] Well you see... I was just on my way to suit up to join my entire engineering staff working on the hull... trying to get it so that the ship can do more than warp 5... but I've run into a problem... [23:03] gah... ::glances and the time display on her PADD and finishes the last of her drink:: [23:04] my engineers can complete the work, if they don't have to go back and forth for materials... [23:04] ::looks at Oswald:: Warp Five. Farley informed us last week that we could make warp nine. [23:04] ::raise an eyebrow:: only if you want the ship in little itty bitty pieces all around dad... [23:05] ::frowns:: Well, we have a cargo shuttle for hauling materials. You can use that. [23:05] ::chuckles at the padd and sets it down again, apparently very amused by the display there:: [23:05] but anyways... I was just curious if you felt that your marines could use the pratice of an eva... [23:05] ::can hear Oswald and Ironside and blanches somewhat, but remains to herself, pouring a drink and setting the bottle aside [23:05] but there's only one cargo shuttle... [23:06] ::smiles slightly at his daughter:: We completed an EVA exercise this morning, actually. ::looks at Savant:: What's so funny? [23:06] I have about 15 different groups working all over the hull... [23:06] ::gets up and walks all the way over to the bar, leaning forward, and sitting the drink on the counter:: [23:06] ::still chuckling:: Is that - is that honestly how you percieve information, sir? goodness, i didn't realize that you used terminals and the like in such a way [23:07] ::looks at her watch and shrugs:: oh well.. if you change your mind, sir, just send the Marine's out... we'll welcome their help... [23:07] ::looks at Savant, not understanding, then back at his daughter:: Zunite, my marines are not your personal little workforce. There are also two personell shuttles and four other shuttlecraft that you can requisition for moving materials. [23:07] ::turns and hurries out muttering about maybe it being for the best since she'll probably just have to do it again in a bit:: [23:08] ::raises a brow at Oswald as she leaves, but still lookis immensely pleased:: [23:08] can i sit, Sir? mostly to avoid falling over ^_- [23:08] <> [23:08] Zunite_Oswald [zunite@kdfs-384.dialup.umn.edu] has left #USS-Coro [23:08] ::motions to the chair:: [23:09] ::Savant sits very cautiously, easing into the chair, the piece of furniture creaking a little under her weight:: [23:09] ::arches an eyebrow:: [23:10] ah, better. Walking is a bit of a chore, isn't it? [23:10] Nizumiko watches Kari worry herself as she sips her drink [23:10] ::smiles slightly:: The exoskeleton not working quite as you expected? [23:11] ah, it's an endoskeleton, sir, same as your own... well, mostly. I dont' think you're made of carbon-tritanium alloy ^_^ It just takes a bit of getting used to... only a few more moments and i ought to have the next driver ready. [23:11] ::gets another drink from the mute bartender and returns to her corner:: [23:11] Nizumiko sips noisily, her eyes falling back to her cup [23:11] ::smirks:: So what amuses you so much about visual information, exactly? [23:12] i just... it's hard to explain sir. It seems like such a terribly inefficient and awkward way to do things, to me [23:13] Well, Savant, we can't exactly handle the volume of information which you can digest. We must approach it in a manner so that our sensory perceptions don't overload. [23:13] ah, this is very true, i hadn't thought of it that way ^_^ [23:13] ENTC_Mayo [Ninja134@kdfs-24359.tampabay.rr.com] has joined #USS-Coro [23:13] Savant sets mode: +o ENTC_Mayo [23:14] Hallo all [23:14] ::looks up at Mayo and bows a rather awkward bow:: [23:14] Mwa ha ha.... +O.... THE POWEEERRR!!! [23:14] Sorry. [23:14] Sleep deprivation bad. [23:14] ::flys out of her seat and looks at J`aren:: where have you been? [23:14] er... , hallo, Sir. [23:15] so, sir, have you thought about my application to your marines, as something of a "reservist"? [23:15] Garstini [garstini@kdfs-17993.poria1.az.home.com] has joined #USS-Coro [23:15] <> [23:15] ::smiles receiving a drink from a waiter and sipping at it:: Although your exo..pardon me, endoskeleton appears to be coming along nicely, I'd prefer to wait until you had perfected it before bringing it into active duty within my regiment. [23:15] ::cringes back from Kari:: Sorry.... Was shutting down station, and then had to report to quarters, so I'll have somewhere to sleep tonight [23:17] ::bows to Nizumiko:: Gomen for the delay, Kari-chan scares me. ::dodges blow from SOMEONE:: [23:17] ENTC_Mayo is now known as Jaren [23:17] of course, sir ^_^ I hadn't emant immediately.. i'd make a bit of a fool of myself right now... wouldn't make much of a first impression ^_^ [23:17] Nizumiko watches Mayo and Kari just over the edge of her cup [23:18] ::anger slowly spreading from her face:: (m) next time I won't miss [23:18] ::chuckles lightly:: Like I mentioned before, I'd be pleased to have your skills available on an away mission or an assault. [23:18] S'okay, Kari... I'd be honored to be struck down by a lady as wonderful as you...::bows:: [23:19] ::beams:: I'll try to avoid falling over in front of superior officers, sir [23:19] ::grins and sips at his drink again:: I do hope so, Savant. [23:20] I have to admit, though, this body is a little disturbing to be in. I'm having my reservations [23:20] Oh? Why's that? [23:20] ::glowers at J`aren:: [23:21] ::Looks at Kari with big ole puppy-dog eyes:: Forgive me? Please? I'll be ever so sweet and nice and kind? [23:21] Jaren is now known as J`aren [23:21] it over-anthropomorphizes me. I look too human, Sir. [23:22] Nizumiko raises an eyebrow at J`aren's antics, and frowns somewhat. She sets her cup down, and refills it [23:22] ::blinks once or twice, trying to get over that third word a couple of times before shaking his head to clear it:: Could you alter the appearance of the endoskeleton to appear less humanoid? [23:22] ((overanthropomorphization... i think i just found another overly-long-word for Savant to use ^_-)) [23:23] <> [23:23] Ah, but then people wouldn't identify it as *me* as much.... that would cause a good deal of confusion which i'd rather avoid [23:23] ::chuckles at J`aren:: (m) on second though it might not have been a long enough amount of time.... [23:24] it's always been something of a problem... i have to appear human-enough so that i can be identified with, but not so human that i'm mistaken for one. [23:24] ::smiles:: C'mon... I'll buy you suuugar.... Lots of yummy suuuugar.... [23:25] ::hrms thoughtfully as he takes another drink:: I understand. [23:25] ::speaks over shoulder without looking to Nizumiko:: And that's the same eyebrow Commander Samek used at the Academy, you know. [23:25] it got me into a good deal of trouble with Intelligence, to be honest ^_^ That was back when i was a little less cautious, however. [23:26] ::blinks, startled:: nan-ja? [23:26] ::laughes so hard she has to hold on to the bar, remebering that class:: [23:26] ::smiles slightly:: Is there something in particular you can do to the endoskeleton to make yourself feel more comfortable? [23:27] ::extends an eyestalk a half inch up and toward Nizu-kun::Half- andorian, at yo soivice! [23:27] oh, it hasn't anything to do with my comfort.... by design any extra-network vehicle i make is going to be a little cramped... i can't install much of a processor or memory drive on this thing. They're a bit uncomfortable [23:28] The problem is entirely in public relations, if you understand ^_^ [23:28] ::pokes Kari:: And he looked at you at least half as strangely as he looked at me. Well, almost. [23:28] ahm.... I do not understand, sir, so sorry [23:28] Ah, yes. ::nods, and grins slightly:: I have to admit, it will be odd knowing you won't be disappearing with a loud "Crack" at any point in time. [23:29] i could always summon my holographic avatar here if you preferred it ^_- I do, it's much more dramatic, and mroe to my taste. [23:29] it looks human, acts human, but there's no mistaking it as *not* human. [23:29] ::still laughing:: I could imagine, after he found that shoe... [23:30] ::turns to Nizumiko, bows:: Gomen nasai, I did not mean to cause confusion... I saw you looking, and it reminded me of the past. My name is J'aren Mayo, nice to meet you. [23:30] ::nods, and thinks thoughtfully for a few moments:: Could you, perhaps, install an anti-gravity system within the endoskeleton to permit you to float? [23:30] ::without turning, to Kari:: Oh yeah? At least it wasn't MY undergarments in his ventilation shaft. However DID those get in there? [23:31] Nizumiko blinks once again, startled for a moment before replying in her native language, "Ah, i am honoured to meet you, Mayo-sama. I am Ryosei Nizumiko. Please, i apologize for disturbing you and your friend" [23:31] an interesting idea, i'llhave to look into it! But again.... i'm not sure if that would solve the problem entirely [23:32] I knew I should have paid attention when they told me to hide my bagadge from you.... [23:32] anyone can use an antigrav emitter, but very few humans can flicker convincingly ^_- [23:33] ::smiles at Nizumiko:: It is not possible for a one such as you tio disturb ones such as I and my language-impaired friend, for she is as oblivious as a blinded snail, while I am so captivated by your grace and manner as to be almost as helpless. [23:34] ::smirks:: Perhaps some sort of visible light refracting device. [23:34] ::blinks at Nizumiko, hearding "J`aren" and "sama" used far to close to each other:: [23:34] Really, though, it's no problem. Would you care to join us in a drink, and perhaps keep my good friend Kari from slaughtering me? [23:34] ::She bows deeply again, not replying for a long moment, as if thkingong of the proper words:: [23:35] ah, i had considered that, but perhaps that's simply too much... i don't want to come off as being too bizzare. And anyways, this isn't a hologram, it shouldn't attempt to look like one, i think. I'll think of something, i'm sure [23:35] ::thwaks J`aren on the shoulder after reading the results of his last statment from the translator:: [23:36] i would be honoured to join you and your friend, J`aren-san [23:36] ::nods for a moment, then looks directly at Savant:: Then is the endoskeleton really necessary? Does it permit you do do anything that you couldn't do as a holographic projection? [23:36] ::winces, then recovers:: Good, good, then the drinks are on me! [23:37] oh, no, it certainly isn't neccesary, at least not on board the ship. I won't be using it on the ship. But there are environments and missions where the low-emission output and physical capacity of a synthetic body could come in quite handy. [23:37] ::looks at the mute, whispers:: large bucket of ice water, please [23:38] Nizumiko approaches their table and takes a seat carefully, placing her swords beside her on the table, the silk-wrapped handles facing away from her [23:38] ::sits down, oblivious to Kari at the bar...:: [23:38] ::takes the bucket and turns to J`aren:: [23:38] Nizumiko watches Kari, rather confused - well, very confused [23:38] ::jumps from chair, rolls, and ends up behind Kari, holding her arms:: [23:39] ahh! ::freezes:: [23:39] ::purses his lips and nods, finishing his drink and leaning back, crossing his legs:: [23:39] ::leaps from her chair as well, her long sword in her hands instantly, though still in its sheathe [23:39] 360 degree vision, member? [23:40] i honestly would go crazy if i stayed in this body too long... it's very confined [23:40] ::notices something wrong:: Kari? [23:40] ::nods, slowly:: yeah, forgot.. [23:40] ::smiles:: I believe I understand. I would not want to remain in my combat armour for any longer than is necessary. [23:40] ::lets go:: [23:41] ::looks at him:: forgive, J`aren-sempai? [23:41] ah, something like that perhaps, i wouldn't know exactly. my "world" is determined by the size of the system i'm operating in. The Coronado is a planet. This body... is an asteroid. Barely habitable, desolate, and rather boring ^_^ [23:42] Nizumiko frowns slightly and retakes her seat, placing her sword beside the other again [23:42] And Memory Alpha? [23:42] Forgive what, densh'k? There is naught that thee could do that could reduce thee in mine eyes. [23:43] Ah, Alpha is a universe into its own ^_^ A nice place to visit. I wouldn't want to live there, though. [23:43] ::smiles:: excellent ::spots the bucket sitting on the floor, somehow still unspilt:: [23:43] But are you o::SPLASH:: Kay. [23:44] ::smiles:: [23:44] ::blinks:: [23:44] no sensors, no . . . no interaction. It's a lonely place. [23:44] ::laughes, tosing the bucket to the side and moving to the table:: [23:44] ::sopping wet, J'aren looks into the laughing face of Kari:: You. Are. A. Vile. Evil. Meanie-head. [23:45] ::exhales, an actual breath, one of the few that Savant has ever taken, and leans into the chair, the furniture creaking noisily:: [23:45] Nizumiko only watches, rather confused by their actions [23:45] ::sits at table, calls to waiter:: I'll have a towel... and can I get fries with that? [23:46] ::smiles, feeling quite a bit superior, though quickly changes her expression to one of mild sympathy:: [23:47] ::smiles:: Savant...could you not have found, perhaps, lighter materials for the endoskeleton? [23:47] ::sighs:: Do not worry, Nizu-san, it is only that the short, irritable one who calls herself my friend has the gross delusion that she is actually funny. [23:49] ::chuckles, her mood changing again:: Perhaps, but i was going for sturdiness, really. And these high-speed polymer hydraulics really are quite heavy. Nimble, but i don't think i'll be doing much swimming [23:49] A question, Savant... [23:49] ::grubels, sitting back in her chair and thinking of failed language classes in grade school:: [23:50] ::mutters in an odd dialect of Japanese:: I do not understand your customs, J`aren-san [23:50] of course sir ^_^ [23:50] When the time comes for you to participate in an away mission in your endoskeleton, will you require an armoured suit? [23:51] ah, most probably not. I'm working on a suit of a sort right now. I woudl only need something to defend against physical attacks... i can deal with pretty much any temperature or condition, within reason [23:52] ::nods:: Our suits do, however, have integrated sensor suites and shield grids. [23:52] So, Kari? Where were we? [23:52] the sheild grids woudl be nice, but i'ev got a sensor suite right here ::Savant taps her skull, which made a very odd *thwack thwack thwack* sound:: [23:53] ::blinks, a tad bit disturbed from the sound:: [23:53] halfway through sophmore year, if I remeber.. [23:53] it's a touch better than the suite you have.... which is why i wouldn't need to carry a tricorder. I *am* one ^_^ [23:54] Nizumiko sips her drink, listening politely [23:54] Ohhhh,.... ::groans:: don't remind me... [23:54] ::quirks an eyebrow:: is something wrong, sir? [23:54] Back in professor XiXor's class from Ha'drek [23:54] ::smirks and shakes his head:: No, nothing Savant. [23:55] i understand ^_^ i imagine you'd find it amusing to learn that my head is mostly filled with foam [23:56] ::arches an eyebrow:: Foam? [23:56] ::giggles:: that was an intersting class, I never would have thought that they would have imported the entire classroom...but the chair were comfortabke [23:57] there are some rather delicate solid-state recievers in there, sir, suspended in a matrix of polymers and gel, a foam. I imagien it woudl look rather messy of i got shot in the head, or chest for that matter. Not fatal, certainly, but i'd probably convince my opponent fairly well ^_- [23:58] They only did that to prevent us from dying of both boredom AND scoliosis. I swear, the only good day in there was the day after we taped him to the flagpo....Ummm....::looks at Nizumiko:: taped his wedding, so he... ummm... went easy on us.... [23:58] Not enough room for a structural integrity field and internal damper? [23:58] ::Smiles a quite winning smile at J`aren, clearly having no idea what he's talking about [23:59] ::laughes loudly again:: I still gave those picture ::smiling:: [23:59] there's room, but those would give off emissions i'd rather not give. I designed this body to be practically sensor-dead. You can take a scan of me if you like, and see what you find ^_^ [00:00] <> [00:00] ::smiles and chuckles:: I don't think that will be necessary. [00:01] if you like ^_^ i'll have that information in a report for you though, as reference in case you have need of a forward observer or scout. [00:01] I think we may be confusing our oriental aquaintence here... [00:01] ::purses his lips and nods:: I appreciate that. [00:01] so sorry, i do not know your language well. [00:02] ::smiles at Nizumiko:: Nizumiko-san, would you prefer I translate for you? [00:02] Ah, you honour me, J`aren-san, but i would not want to trouble you. And it is best to learn, perhaps, neh? [00:03] i had been meaning to ask, sir, how are things between you and your daughter? [00:04] ::laughs:: It is indeed, wise lady, it is indeed. Learning is the reason we're alive, I believe. [00:04] ::smirks slightly:: Perhaps not the most healthy father- daughter relationship, but we manage to get along. I think both of us are still trying to figure out where we stand. [00:04] Well... ::looks at Kari:: There's other things too.... [00:05] ah. . . yes, it is important to keep the mind alert [00:05] Like.... ::suddenly, J'aren flings a pitcher-full of water he'd ordered by hand signal while speaking directly at Kari:: [00:05] i think i can respect that sir ^_^ I have troubles with my own siblings. Perhaps you might consider spending a shore leave with her, or spending some liberty leave? [00:05] ack! ::frezzes again:: [00:06] ah! ::jumps out of her chair like a cat:: [00:06] Revenge! [00:07] Perhaps...I haven't spent any of my leave time since '88 ::chuckles:: [00:07] ::jumps out of her chair, glowering at J`aren, says quietly:: it was funny when I did it.... [00:07] ::blinks:: You have siblings, Savant? [00:07] ::taps Kari on head:: Even. [00:08] i imagine you have quite a few days saved up ^_^ Oh, yes, i have a sister, and am an aunt to an absolutely delightful little boy. And there's always little Ferret, and Muse. ::smiles:: i've got an unusual family, but it's family none the less [00:09] ::chuckles:: Are these other command interfaces? Sentient programs? [00:10] Ferret is an artificial life experiment... it's actually what i used to be... the same with Muse, who is something of a self-aware secretary program. Susan is my sister and is quite flesh and blood, as is her husband, and little Joshua is their child ^_^ [00:10] ::sits down, tryinfg to squeeze as much water out of here uniform as possible:: [00:10] ::blinks:: [00:10] ::claps hands, and silent panda brings Kari a towel:: [00:10] So do you consider Susan your sister because she is the daughter of your creator? [00:10] Nizumiko sits down carefully, wiping a few drops of water from her chair beforehand [00:11] yes ^_^ my mother created me, just like she did Susan. [00:11] ::smiles and nods, understanding:: [00:12] family reunions are a little unusual, so i'm told ^_- [00:12] ::grins:: I can imagine. [00:13] ::takes the towel and wipes her brow:: [00:14] ah, i've usually written by now. I hope that they aren't too worried. My father can be quite. . . energetic. . . in his worrying. He's getting on in years. You probably know him, he may have even trained you ^_^ [00:14] Anyway... now that we've gotten that out of the way.... [00:14] ::arches an eyebrow:: Oh? [00:14] What have you been doing with yourself since the academy? [00:15] Tinian Jeppo, most notably of fame at Outpost 77. Known to many as Old Rockhead... he was a Major at the training base at Quantico for many years. [00:16] either that, or The Tin Man [00:16] ::sits up:: Intellignce academy for the most part....then the coro for the past couple of months [00:17] ::chuckles, smiles:: Ol' Rockhead. Yes, I remember him. [00:18] ::brightens visibly:: Ah, so you do! I can imagine you found him a little surly... he never was much of an officer. He spent the beginning of his career as an NCO, and regretted being promoted ever since they did for his efforts at the Outpost. [00:18] ::sits the towel on the table, still soaked:: and you? [00:19] Oh, the usual.,.... I left starfleet on a year's furlow that I never got around to taking while you were there, joined an Orion Pirate freighter, which I sabotaged mid-fight to prevent casualties, and then bought and rechristened the "Hindi-Louisa" [00:20] Nizumiko listens, her expression blank... she was actually quite suprised by the conversation, what she could understand at least [00:20] ::smirks:: He was one of the instructors you had to pay a little more attention to if you wanted to do well in the course, that's for sure. [00:20] ::blinks:: you have been busy... [00:21] Then got caught in the Romulan/Klingon DMZ, headed for Fed space, made it through the Triple DMZ, then got crippled by ::J'aren begins to laugh:: You'll never believe this... And unarmed freighter who thought I was a pirate. [00:21] They had a black market photon torpedo, and they jettisoned it out the waste disposal tube. [00:21] ah, yes ^_^ but really, he's not all that bad. A very gentle man, and kind. He had quite a difficult time accepting me for what i am, but is very generous and accepting, really. [00:22] Well, should we get back, you'll have to introduce me. It'll be interesting to see if he recognizes me...I was a very different person in those days. [00:23] ::giggles:: sounds like the norm with you [00:23] Yeah... I missed you, though,.... [00:23] He'd recognize you. He's very bright... not in the same way as my mother. My mother's very good with ideas and machines, but tends to stumble when it comes to dealing with people. Father ... well, a little blunt, but tried very hard, and can remember everyone he's ever met. They're an odd couple ^_^ [00:24] recently he's been a little more melancholy. i think mother's condition has been hard on him. [00:24] ::smiles, staring into J`aren's eyes:: really? [00:24] Your mother's condition? ::accepts another drink from the waiter:: [00:25] ::blushes purple, and switches topics fast:: Ahem... We really shouldn't ignore... umm... Nizumik... ummm.... Excuse me... :: makes a fast break for the bathroom:: [00:25] . . . [00:25] oh, right, sorry ^_^ My mother's a paraplegic. Unfortunate, really. she gets along fine, but recently her exo-skeleton hasn't worked as well, and she's relying on her wheelchair more and more. I can tell that it really hurts him to see her like that... mother used to be very active. [00:26] ::looks between J`aren and Nizumiko and shrugs:: [00:26] . . . i . . . do not understand. [00:26] I'm not sure that I do either.... [00:27] ::nods in understanding:: My mother used to be confined to an anti-gravity chair, but recently, she's been undergoing a new therapy that has gotten her back onto her feet [00:28] Nizumiko can't help but chuckle, but quickly stifles the laugh [00:28] really? I'll have to tell her about it when i get back... though i'm sure she knows about it. I really don't understand how she does it... Mother is a very special person indeed. She understands me more than *i* do. [00:28] ::comes back from restroom:: Ahhh..., Where were we? [00:28] are you well, J`aren-san? [00:29] ::smiles:: Mothers are like that. [00:29] Yes, Nizumiko-san... I merely felt the need to freshen up. [00:30] ah, i understand [00:30] ::gives J`aren a curious look:: [00:31] Anyway.... I'm so glad that we're on the same ship again, Kari... So, when do I get a tour? [00:32] ::glances at a PADD:: it's getting late, tommarow, perhaps? [00:32] J`aren: DCC Send Jaren Prof.txt (65.32.189.142) [00:32] they certainly are ^_^ [00:33] though i have to admit, it's remarkable to watch little Joshua growing up. I wonder about my own childhood, if it's similar or not [00:33] ::looks at watch:: Agreed. Oh my word.... It IS late.... ::stands and bows to both Nizumiko and Kari:: If you ladies will excuse me, someone has an early watch tomorrow... [00:33] Nizumiko bows deeply, and replies, "Oyasuminasai, J`aren-sama" [00:34] ::checks something on the padd:: ja......matashita? [00:34] i am very suprised, i did not think that anyone would be able to speak my language. [00:35] Did you have a childhood, of sorts, Savant? [00:35] ::taps the PADD:: everything anyone would ever need to know, these things are great... [00:36] which things? so sorry, i do not know your name yet. [00:36] Ja-ne, Nizumiko-san. The world is full of surprises, and that this humble osaru has some knowlege of your tongue is but the smallest of the small. [00:36] something like it, i think, sir. I used to be an artificial life project, called Ferret. That's when i was created.... my memories of that time are rather dim, though. That was fifty-eight years ago, though ^_^ [00:37] ::arches an eyebrow:: You can forget things? [00:37] ::J'aren bows once more, and walks throught the entranceway of the 7th Heaven, a spring in his step and a gleam in his eye.:: [00:37] Nizumiko bows a deep and respectful bow to J`aren, "you are as modest as you are generous, J`aren-sama" [00:38] ::sighs and moves towards the door, turns and wazes:: g'nite [00:38] ::After tripping over his own feet, he departs, minus the spring in his step:: [00:38] <> [00:38] My *memory* is whatever's in the local computer memory, and whatever is in my local processing bus. I'm something of an amnesiac if i'm removed from a sizeable memory core ^_^ [00:38] ((night ^_^)) [00:38] <<'nighters>> [00:38] J`aren [Ninja134@kdfs-24359.tampabay.rr.com] has left #USS-Coro [00:38] ::hides a laugh and takes a path to a different turboift:: [00:38] ::smiles:: Yes, of course. [00:39] another reason i don't like these extra-network peripherals. Memory is too small, not enough processing power. I get very moody and anxious.
