Savant's already established herself as a woman of the people. though, would you want to work for the latest version of the Microsoft Works paperclip guy? ^_- cept when she gets hit by biosoftware :/ hey, i know bioware guys, they're mostly good guys :p ;lol. LOL! serrold's less than desireable position - currently holding ankles and bracing roflmao roflmao sorry ^_- hehe *** LMCC_Prescot is now known as Shadow-FjP *** LMWL_Serrold is now known as Aggie *** LCTC_Drexler is now known as Drexler *** LCIO_Ma`Aru is now known as Kari 10 or 15 before we start? ya thats fine cool Let's decide what we're going to be doing. okie presim obviously it'll have to be before the sim heh *** Aggie is now known as Aggie|AFK lounge? elsewhere? brb awright ohh, how about the Luge? luge? that's dangerous o_o lol *** Alffred has joined #uss-coro *** Savant sets mode: +o Alffred we haven't started yet *** Shadow-FjP is now known as Prescot where do you want it to be? What's the plan for this after sim? it'll be a presim, obviously we're discussing it. other than that no ideas yet *** Aggie|AFK is now known as Aggie Presim sounds fun. I can play Bentall that way. why no bentall otherwise? He's left the ship sometime during the repairs to go take command of blackrazor. :) oh, right ^_^ so, lounge? holodeck? rec hall? elsewhere? maybe an event on board? Lounge before hand. Bentall's going away party? :) lol. i dunno if we do farewell parties well... events prolly aren't a good idea We don't have enough people for that. I was kidding. :) Nah, it's a good idea, but not something we can do with just a few casual people. blargh. We've done the lounge three straight times, I think. :) let's do a few days beforehand perhaps? and somewhere new holodeck beach is always there. Or the rec hall Well, Serrold's got this new arm... I know he'll likely be on the Rec Deck well, there you go then ^_^ *** Aggie is now known as Serrold so now we have the place.... daily show break...going to grab a soda, brb *** Fraser has joined #uss-coro *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Fraser *** Alffred is now known as Bentall actually... I'm pretty tired... I think I might be crashing soon... d'oh., back really? damn -_- we have to do a log sometime *yawns* I might be able to stick around for a bit. up to you ^_^ we can do it later, or over eMail, if you prefer *** Bentall is now known as Alffred *** Alffred has left #uss-coro so shall we? I think we're waiting on Kari, aren't we? ah, yes mow mow chikka we can start and she can come in later, i guess ^_^ I've been back.... God forbid Christian not have someone to flirt with. ;) ROFL 8:o sorry, working on a few things.. =p anyways, on that note i guess we can start; you joining us Fras? What's going on? :-) Rec Deck, presim we're in the rec hall... boxing or swimming or whatever. A few days before todays' sim Ooooh, boxing. any marine vs. Serrold ;) Can I beat Serrold up like Lewis beat up Tyson? ;-) sure ^_- Uh... ::grins:: LOL! * Serrold reconfigures his mechanical hand to the "one-punch knockout" mode. i want to see what happens when Serrold realizes that a mechanically strengthened bionic arm is great.. until you realize it's attached to a body just as weak as before. don't pull too hard or you'll break your ribs ^_- *** Drexler sets mode: +m Just in case. :P ja vold ============SIM START============ ::throws punch after punch into the boxing dummy:: ::Savant was standing in front of a small punching bag, battering it with a quick repetition of punches. She was wearing uniform slacks and boots, but a grey tank top instead of the usual uniform:: ::enters the recreational deck, looking dark and moody:: ::The programs' voice lilted over to Drexler, though the hologram didn't seem to notice his entry:: Good afternoon, Sieven ::cocks back and launches a punch that lands so hard that hte dummy loses its head:: ::sits on a old couch in the recroom, looking over a PADD and grumbling quietly about the computers 'suggestion' that she spend some time in the rec room:: ::looks around and walks back to the locker area:: Greetings, Savant. How are you? ::stands off at a corner, off duty clothing consisting of slacks and a black long undershirt with light chainmail on the outside... attacking a holoprojection again and again with a sword:: *** Fraser is now known as Gregg ::It was Savant, of course, who had put that suggestion into Kari's queue, but apparently the suggestion had little impact:: ::stops and looks down at his bionic arm:: This could be interesting... ::Again, Savant replied to Serrold but the hologram didn't change tact:: Why's that Sir? ::becomes noticible, jumping rope on a mat near the side of the gymnasium, but seemingly moments ago was not there:: ::glances at Savant:: Assuming I ever get back on duty, what Pfhor bastard would be able to face something like this? ::dodges to the side as the hologram swings at him, thrusting forward, as the blade peirces the holoprojection it disapates:: ::flexes the fingers on his hand:: ::stares at the deck:: But what woman would respond to so cold a touch as this? ::She didn't stop punching, nor did her lips move, but the holograms' eyes glanced over at Serrold beside her. The responce was uncommonly brusque:: You get used to it. ::walks over to Savant, watching her:: Is there a technique you need to practice, Savant? ::nods slowly and looks around the Rec Deck:: Maybe... I dunno... I don't think I wanna get used to it. ::keeps perfect time, the jumping rope creating a rythmic beat on the deck as his legs pump alternatively in the air:: ::Stretchs and turns sideways, swinging her legs around to lay on the couch, glancing around the rec room:: ::She beamed at Drexler:: I can't think of anything i don't have a preset for, Sieven.. i do this mostly to give myself thinking time. ::breathes heavily for a moment or two before inhaling deeply then letting it out, looking around to see a group having formed:: ::wanders off to find a towel and a shower:: Wouldn't a quiet room be less distracting? Or is the distraction you are seeking? distraction? Why would any of you distract me? ... you said you need thinking time. Do you not think constantly? ::seems lost now:: ::works his arms as well, crossing and uncrossing them as he jumps, never touching or missing a leap over the rope:: ::steps into the sonic shower, allowing the sound waves to clean his body and his clothes:: That I do ^_^ You're quite right. I was being colloquial. I don't need the hologram to be doing anything right now, i bring it here when i'm working on other topics. ::exits the shower, feeling a little better but still wanting something - a smoothie, perhaps:: ::looks at her, avoiding the excuse:: You are a social creature, Savant. You don't need to hide that. ::steps lightly to the Rec Deck's small cafe and orders up a strawberry-banana smoothie and a small orange juice:: ::she turned her head from the punching bag, but didn't stop or slow down:: That I am Sieven. However, I'm a social creature with many responsibilities. ::raises an eyeborw as he catches a glimpse of Major Gregg:: Well, I'll be damned... he does still exiist... ::leans in a little closer, quietly:: What I mean is, you do not have to uphold your facade of being an unfeeling entity around me. ::Her smile widened:: It isn't so easy, Sieven, but I do appreciate the gesture. To be honest, i'm not feeling too abd right now. ((bad, even)) ::stops on a jump and collects the rope before the last swing is completed, moving over and placing it on the rack before removing a pair of adjustable gravity weights and beginning to exercise with them:: ::moves across the Rec Deck to a lounging area so that he can cool down after his workout:: ::Savant turned her scanners to Gregg at Craigs' commentabout him.... she was always a bit confused about the man. Everyone seemed to treat him oddly:: ::shakes his head as he passes Gregg:: Don't kill yourself, old man. That's good to hear. ::still looks darker than normal, maybe a sign of the times. He glances over at the others around him, as if appraising the deck of its value.:: how about yourself? ::turns back towards the PADD, glancing ocassionlly at Craig though trying to be as Discreet as possible:: ::catches sight of Kari and feels an ache in his chest as he thinks about going over to her:: ::looks back to Savant, shrugging:: I'm here and clear-headed. I suppose that translates into feeling well. ::shakes his head and moves to a more distant couch where he sits and sips on his smoothie and OJ:: ::comes out of his semi-meditative trance and looks around for a second or two then spies serrold off on a distant couch and begins to walk over to him:: ::doesn't appear to hear Serrold or care about his comment, as he continues with his workout routine:: how remarkably abstract, Sieven, i' proud of you ^_^ you seem a bit down however. ::leans back and closes his eyes, taking several deep breaths:: ::sees Craig moving away and taps her fingers slowly across the bottom of the PADD in agitation" :: ::comes up on Serrold, sheathing his sword:: may I join you? ::offers Savant a brief smile:: Down? Maybe a little. The source is elusive, though. ::glances up at Prescot:: You come to stare at the Southpawed freak, too, eh? well, i hope it surfaces soon. I can't imagine what it's like, but it must be frustrating. no... ::raises a brow:: I did come here to ask how you are dealing with that ::finishes with the gravity weights and returns them to the rack, moving back onto the mat and closing his eyes for a moment before entering into what appears to be a Tai Chi workout routine:: ::swallows tightly:: Well... uh... thanks... ::waves the artificial hand at the seat:: Have a seat. I'm doing well, I suppose. ::sits down:: did you honestly think I came here to mock you? ::smirks:: You haven't seen the looks, haven't caught people gawking at you. ::Savants' hands drop as the hologram finishes that routine, the punching bag still swinging wildly a few times before settling:: ::snorts:: ye thinkst I hath always talked so well?? <> ::chuckles:: Okay, okay. Point taken. Still... this is a little more obvious - both to them and to me. ((ye thinkst i hast always spake so eloquent?)) <> Frustrating yes. But it's becoming more manageable. ::shakes his head:: I suppose... but would you prefer the alternative? ::smoothly and effortlessly swings his hands and legs through the air in fluid motions, the graceful manouevers appearing incredibly natural:: No arm? Probably not. ::casts his glance at Kari, a sad smile upon his lips:: well, that's delightful to hear, i'm glad ^_^ ::The hologrma actually spoke this time, the voice coming from her instead of from some abstract location:: are you still getting aid for that particular problem? ::looks over were hes staring at:: what does she think of all this hmm? she think less of you? ::nods, turning to watch others workout or talk and such:: That will soon end, too, I hope. as Im sure you know I dont ::chuckles:: I'm not even sure how much she thoughtof me before. ::looks over at Prescot:: I mean, I've always been pretty much of a self- centered asshole when it came to women. with resolve, i'm sure it will. and you believe you are beyond help? ::grumbles slightly to herself, flipping through different pages on her PADD:: ::stares long and hard at his prosthetic:: No one's beyond help. I guess these past few days have shown me that I've got more than just myself to think about. ::watches Gregg from across the deck and inquires of Savant:: What is that called, again? It's Terran, right? do you think shed be willing to help you? it's called "tai chi", quite a good meditative technique. ::balances delicately on the balls of his feet as he continues through the routine; the mezmorizing routine drawing a few watchers from time to time:: Indeed. I will learn it. ... erm. ::looks back to Savant:: I will research it, anyway. <<::drexler looks over at Savant:: I know Tai Chi...>> Duty is my life. At least, when I'm given the chance. Women - her - she - well - I dunno. I've never really thought of women as anything more than - well, women. But her - she's treated me kindly, even when I've been my usual assinine self. <> << ::leans over:: Show me>> ::Savant loaded up an appropriate preset, and the hologram fluidly moved into an elaborate tai chi stance::it's rather easy once one gathers the right amount of self control ... control. ::trails off, watching Gregg some more, looking at Savant's positioning, as well:: ::Savant, in fact, was mirroring Greggs' stance and pattern almost perfectly:: ::completes the routine and remains frozen in the final position, the soft expansion and contraction of his chest the only indication that he is not frozen in time:: ::nods:: sounds like shed be a great friend to you at this time ::She finishes at the same time, but doesn't bother simulating breathing; she's entirely still:: ::rubs ightly at the stubble on his chin and jaw:: People who get close to me - they wind up hurt. It's the way it is. I don't want that for her. Because she HAS been a great friend. ::looks at Savant:: Interesting, anyway. ::smoothly straightens and resumes his normal stance, moving towards the locker rooms to shower and change:: ::sighs:: Maybe... ::smiles tiredly at Kari, his eyes dancing mischeviously:: ::she straightens and grins:: it is, quite. Relaxing, i'm told ::Sighs, standing and flipping the PADD in the air, letting it spin end- over-end a few times before catching it again. Starts to meander slowly around the supprisingly large perimiter of the rec area:: i can teach you sometime, if you'd like ^_^ Perhaps you will show me a condensed, accelerated form some time. ::sees him looking over at her and grins:: best of luck my friends... my door is always open, but I must be off now ::stands and nods:: Yes, thank you. it sounds a lovely idea ^_^ I am nearly through reviewing and preparing to restart my ... training. ::moves off towards Kari, hoping to catch up with her before she leaves:: I showed you some of it. I am remembering more. <> <> ((seeya!)) how interesting; what else have you found out? I need you to confirm something please. of course ^_^ *** Prescot has quit IRC (Leaving: Its never been more like it is now than it has been before...) ::pauses near the back of the room for a moment to watch a trio of security guards running on treadmills:: ... however, it will have to wait until my dose wears off. ::nears Kari:: Commander - Karissa! ::emerges from the locker room in uniform, slowly making his way around the gym unnoticed, but 'people watching' nonetheless:: ... but perhaps. ::closes his eyes and tries to focus:: ::turns, smilling:: Craig...how are you doing? ::Savant glanced at Gregg again, noting his odd presence in the room. Most of the time people noticed one another on a fundamental but unconscious level. not so with him:: ::she smiled and listenend to Drexler, letting him go at his own pace:: ::catches the wraith-like form of Major Gregg out of the corner of his eye and makes a note never to cross swords with the strange older man:: ::smiles:: Um, I'm - Well, obviously I've been - uh, well, better. ::raises his hand and flexes the fingers:: Heh, I suppose that wasn't the best of questions... ::Sieven's shirt momentarily began to move as if disturbed by a breeze, but he quickly opened his eyes, lurching forward, taking a short gasp.:: Okay.. nevermind. Not now. ::chuckles:: Could have been worse - you could have asked me how my shifts have been going. ::frowns:: ::She caught him as she almost lost balance, the simluation good enough that she seemed a regular human at the moment:: Are you all right Sieven? I'm... just spooking myself is all. and myself. What were you trying to do? ::sits down quietly in a corner, crosslegged and watches as a group of marines enters for a training regimen:: Trying to demonstrate something, but ... this isn't the place. Or the time. ::glances over at a chronometer on the wall:: In a few hours perhaps. all right ^_^ it's a date then. You've gotten me curious. ::frowns a little:: You should come up to the bridge sometime, for a pilot you are surprisingly good at analysis ::smiles:: Mom and Dad are both scientists. They taught me how to observe the world around me. And how to read what I see. ::looks away, sadly:: As for joining you on the bridge, I'd love to, but I've been restricted from duty for the time being. They arn't letting you on the bridge? ::looks at Savant:: Yes, well... I am curious, too. Rec Deck, Holodecks, Seventh Heaven, all the usual spots that would be open to non-Starfleet personnel. ::She smiled:: it must be exciting Everything else is offlimits. I can't even get up to see my fighters right now. I don't know yet. There's something ominous about it. what about it? That's insane, it's not like you are trying to subvert control of the ship But I'll show you... later. When the drug has worn off. ::watches as the marines begin to train and begins critiquing them in his mind, as he normally does during the routines he watches; cataloguing officers' strengths and weaknesses to work on and to use during combat operations:: I've been suspended from duty, suspended from my life. And until they return it to me, there's very little I can do about it. i wish there was something i could show you of equal value... i feel i'm not holding up my end of the relationship ^_^ Heh, you always have those Starfleet simulations on the holodeck that everyone used to play as a kid... ::grimces slightly, wishes she hadn't said that about halfway through saying it:: ::smirks:: Yeah, just what I always wanted - to go play Captain Kirk on the holodeck. ::smiles:: But you are just by enduring me. ::Sieven swung his right foot up to tap the punching bag nearby.:: ::pats Kari on the arm, understanding that she meant well:: oh, you're far form that, Sieven; i don't chat with people i don't honestly like ::He held his foot suspended in contact with the punching bag, and glances at Savant:: Self-control, hmm? I think I'm beginning to experience that. <> ::glances around for a moment, trying to think of a way to change the subject: So...heard anything recently from Fel? ::She smiles:: So few organics have it, i've found. ::He still maintained the position, not flinching.:: I'm finding it to be something that I must've learned in my youth, because it's returning to me naturally. The drug now is only a precaution. I don't want to lose control. She hasn't been returning my messages. Which, for someone who claimed that she wanted to help me, is rather odd. ::she chuckled a little:: Afraid of losing control of your self control? Indeed. ::he swung the suspended foot down and pivoted, snapping a sharp kick into the bag:: I have some leave time coming up...maybe we could get a shuttle and pay her a visit... impressive ^_^ you've got quite improved muscular control. New grasp of your nervous system? Suppression of will. The drug actually inhibits that. ::sits on the mat:: ::chuckles:: I have some other ideas of what to do with leave time - ::goes pale white, not believing his own words:: I have to suppress my will to obey gravity. Somehow it obeys. <> <>> <<"Somehow it happens." I guess. blargh.>> ::she grins, and the hologram decides that it's had enough with gravity for the moment and floats a few inches off of the ground:: physics is such a troublesome thing, don't you think? ::grins:: Yes. I'm finding it to be a bit more philosohpical though. and what new philosophies have you found? ::smirks:: You mean a long trip in a shuttle dosn't sound like fun? Everything is a state of mind. ::looks around helplessly:: how delightfully zen ^_^ It - um - it sounds really great, actually. But I was thinking that there were better places to go than out to Swiftsure, whereever she is. ::stands and looks at Savant:: You are a perfect manifestation of this. I wish i were the perfect picture you think I am, but thank you ^_^ In terms of controlling your environment... you are Ahh, I see. You, uh, have anything particular in mind? well, I suppose one could see it that way ^_^ ::whispers to her:: That is where I must train. ::takes her hand in his natural hand:: I understand that Taer is pretty secluded this time of year. in here? I mean, that is what I need to perfect. Environmental manipulation. It's taboo. why is it tabboo? ::looks at her:: I don't know. well, given your species' past, i can understand the taboo ^_^ ::cocks his head to the side:: How do you mean? you seem to have a close relationship to the borg, one of rather intense dislike. The borg seem to craft their lives on altering their environment and themselves to suit their goal. That sounds...nice, I havn't been anywhere secluded in years given your opposition to them, it follows that you'd want to avoid the same. ... indeed. But ... ::trails off:: Nevermind. but what? I'll explain later. ::smiles:: Of course, you have all those Taerans lying around. But they're all comatose, so it'd be like we were alone. fair enough ^_^ ::laughs:: That could be amusing, did you ever go cow tipping as a youth? Cow what? ::having absorbed what he feels is necessary from the marines training, rises from his crosslegged position and exits the gymnasium:: <<'night people :-)>> ::She glances at Gregg and smiles politely:: ((night!)) *** Gregg has quit IRC (Leaving: "I take a chocolate drink, I take a whiskey drink, and when I need to pee, I use the kitchen sink," - Homer J. Simpson) Heh, before we moved out of New Guinea I remeber a group of older kids would occasionlly go out to a field and push the sleeping cows over I'll catch you later, Savant. Thank you. ::heads out:: have a good evening, Sir.. i'll catch up with you later. ::frowns:: And that's fun? *** Drexler is now known as Brad ::shrug:: It seemed that way at the time... ::smiles:: I can think of plenty of things that'll be fun now. ::smiles as well:: I'm glad you feel that way Craig ::takes a long slow breath and takes her hand in his, pulling her a little closer:: I feel a lot of ways. ::glances around:: Heh, I don't think this is the best place... ::flexes his right hand:: Well then, what do you think we should do about that? ::puts her other hand on top of his:: Maybe we could meet for dinner somewhere? Dinner. Dinner sounds good. I'm pretty hungry. I could probably eat just about anything right now. ((dont' start with the puns again -_-)) <> I've never liked the food in Seventh, maybe we could go someplace else... ::scratches his chin:: Well, there's this great little Klingon place back in San Francisco.... I think I kept the program for it when I came aboard. Klingon food, sounds...interesting You've never lived until you've eaten a good bowl of gagh - and the replicators and holodecks have finally learned how to do it right. Heh, if you say so. I've got a couple of things to take care of, meet you at holodeck two in 30 minutes? ::smiles:: It's a date. ================SIM END================ Session Close: Mon Jun 10 23:26:03 2002
