<Ironside> before they shipped out, rather.
<Savant> yeap
*** Sonya has joined #uss-coro
<Sonya> this is probably the worse idea I've ever had..
<Savant> oh, we can aftersim i guess ^_^
<Savant> so says Ross anyways
<Kari> uhh, points to the main channel
<Stefan> What about me and Farley???? we were not on the ship when weird stuff 
happened
<Savant> shall we?
*** Drexler sets mode: +o Sonya
<Savant> yeah, but i think everyone gets shuffled up and put in different places 
next sim ^_^
<Shadow-FjP> it happens to everyone
<Drexler> hm.
<Savant> hm?
<D`rall> heh
<Savant> so, we'll set it the evening that we get back, everyone is on Coro nice 
and safe, ....
<Sonya> ::raises her hand::
<Sonya> get back from where?
<Savant> hi ^_^
<Savant> alternate-dimension-land
<Sonya> kay
*** Stefan has left #uss-coro
<Savant> so. . .
<Savant> lounge? rec room? holodeck? elsewhere?
<D`rall> Something new, something exotic :)
<Savant> such as? ^_-
<Kari> The admiral's head, setting up a surprise part
<Kari> y
<Savant> that'd be great ^_^
<D`rall> LOL
*** Sonya has left #uss-coro
<Kari> then we can all jump out and yell, "SUPPLIES!"
<D`rall> Sur- ::the admiral walks in nude for his shower:: -prise?
<D`rall> End the sim with us spending 3 weeks in the brig :)
<Kari> so, the spots really do go all the way down
<Savant> <Savant> What.... i have all the sensor logs on this ship you know... 
what's the big deal?
<Kari> ok, tonight has really improved my opinion of Karing...
<Savant> oh?
<Kari> <ACTION> Karing wants to be a vulcan who visited earth and started 
listing to hip hop
<Savant> oh ^_-
<Kari> that's so insane stupid that it borders on genius
<D`rall> Hmm
<D`rall> Could always start that jogging program :)
<Savant> Ross tells me that he hasn't set a birthdate for his character, so we 
could do the surprise-party thing if we want to ^_-
<D`rall> hehe
<Shadow-FjP> just to make more referances to Parallels?
<Shadow-FjP> I need to brb
<Drexler> lol
*** Shadow-FjP has quit IRC (Leaving: brb)
<D`rall> Yeah, but I don't know how to sing Happy Birthday in Trill.
<Savant> that's cool, i like that.. planning a suprise party.... though not in 
his loo... maybe the lounge :p
<D`rall> We could sing "The Trill Is Gone" But I don't think that's appropriate.
<Savant> >groan<
<Kari> we would need to drag him in here for the end
<Savant> nah, we can set the room up for a party that's supposed to happen later 
on
<D`rall> Sorry :) My brain's about 5 hours off it's normal schedule, so this is 
usually it's downtime :D
<Drexler> By B.B. Dax? ;)
<D`rall> hehe
* D`rall listens to walt_disney_-_Happy_Happy_Birthday_to_You.mp3 (2.91 megs)
<Drexler> [mp3] B. B. Dax - The Trill is Gone.mp3 (3:14)
<D`rall> Could always sing that
<D`rall> That horrible hideous 80's synth/pop song
<Drexler> [mp3] Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer.mp3 (4:55)
<D`rall> "We brought some squonks... from the Outerswqounk Zoo... They honk... 
and skwonk... and have this for you."

<D`rall> Alright, back to the serious stuff. :)
<Shadow-FjP> thank you :)
<Savant> rather ^_-
<Savant> welcome back ^_^
<Kari> alright, so we are going to spend our potentially last moments in this 
universe setting up a supplies party for the admiral?
<D`rall> hehe
<Savant> no, he said that we could aftersim assuming that the whole "adventure 
in alternate realities" went well and we're safe and home now
<Kari> ohh, he did? must have missed that
<Savant> yeap ^_^
<Kari> gnifty
<Kari> sounds good to me then
<Savant> everyone agreeing then?
<D`rall> Yup :)
<Savant> okay ^_^ cool
<Kari> lounge?
<Savant> It's later in the evening, Admiral is distracted elsewhere with work, 
and we're setting up for tomorrow after shift
<Shadow-FjP> sure
<Savant> Lounge is good
<Kari> okey dokey
<Savant> ********************************** Sim Start 
********************************
<Kari> ::hurries about the lounge, a paper party hat precariously fastened to 
her head by means of a small elastic strap::
<Savant> ::Savant entered the lounge easily, carrying a box with her, she wore a 
wide smile::
<D`rall> ::pokes her head in, spotting she's in the right place::
<Shadow-FjP> ::enters into the lounge, a big keg of something marked "Guiness"
<Kari> ::stands on a chair to attach a streamer to the ceiling::
<Savant> Oh, good, I was wondering if you were going to be able to get that Mr 
Prescot
<D`rall> ::enters with everyone else, though empty-handed::
<Savant> I wish I knew more about Trill celebration customs. . .
<Shadow-FjP> ::nods setting the keg down:: havent had this stuff yet...I wonder 
what its like
<D`rall> ::nods:: And I didn't know what to bring. I debated about baking a cake 
on the holodeck.
<Savant> Go ahead and have some, I'm told it's a bit of an aquired taste.
<Savant> ::Savant goes over to the bar and returns with a pint glass and a 
spoon::
<Savant> The Admiral is fairly easy going and not very materialistic, I'm sure 
he'd appreciate anything as long as it was honestly given.
<Kari> ::finishes with the streamers and steps back, admiring the livelyness the 
party favors brought to the lounge::
<D`rall> ::wan smile:: Easy for you to say. You've known the Admiral for some 
time, yes?
<Savant> Since the beginning ^_^
<Shadow-FjP> ::has himself a bit of the drink at Savants instance and makes a 
face::not for me
<Savant> Come now Mr Prescot, what sort of camelyn turns down a drink?
<D`rall> ::hrms:: That so...?
<D`rall> Does he have any sort of interest in paintings?
<Savant> ::She smiles, but puts away the glass anyways, and goes back to her 
box... opening it up to take out a large floral centrepiece::
<Savant> He does. I've given him a few in fact.
<D`rall> ::grins:: I'll be right back then ::rushes out of the room::
<Ironside> ::enters the lounge, PADD in hand::
<Shadow-FjP> maybe it will grow on me alcahol tends to do that...::takes some of 
the glasses and sets them up naer the keg::
<Savant> ::She set the centrepiece aside and put the box away:: Colonel Ironside 
^_^ how are you?
<Ironside> ::looks up from the PADD, looks around the room:: Um....good.
<Kari> ::notices a small group forming and approaches them, looking rather self-
satisfied::
<Savant> ::she smiles and inclines her head:: I'm glad to hear Sir.
<D`rall> ::returns with a rather awkward wrapped item under her arm, something 
almost as big as D`rall is tall::
<Ironside> ::looks around the room again::
<Savant> something wrong Sir?
<D`rall> ::sets it on one end almost self-consciously::
<Ironside> ::pauses:: Are you doing what I think you're doing?
<Kari> ::glancs at D`rall:: What've you got there?
<Savant> ::she smiled:: Does it look like what you think that we're doing?
<Savant> I don't know Sir... i can come close, but i can't quite read minds yet 
^_-
<D`rall> Oh... um...
<Ironside> It looks like you're planning on throwing a surprise birthday party 
for the Admiral.
<Shadow-FjP> ::looks over at the big present::thats a large present
<D`rall> Well, it's a little something I did... it's nothing, I mean, it's 
something but ::blushes::
<Savant> Ah, as I suspected. Yes, we are; for Kor in fact.
<Ironside> You  know  he wouldn't want such an extravagant event thrown in his 
honour.
<D`rall> I don't even know if he would appreciate something like this.
<Savant> ::she beamed a saccharine smile:: It's good for ship morale.
<Ironside> Perhaps.::smirks:: Not so good for you, possibly.He'll likely plan to 
get back at you.
<Savant> ::she grinned widely:: I don't have a birthday.
<Ironside> Oh, I'm sure he'll find something....
<Savant> I invite him to try ^_-
<D`rall> ::pulls aside the covering over the item just enough to show that it's 
a painting of some sort::
<Savant> ::she raised a finger in a mock threat:: and you had best keep quiet 
yourself, Sir, or you'll find yourself walking in here one day to have the crew 
jump out and shouting "surprise" at you!
<Shadow-FjP> ::looks at the painting::that looks very good
<Kari> ::leans in:: Is that a painting? What is it of?
<Ironside> Doing so would most likely result in an innordinate number of 
bystander casualties, Savant.::Deadpan::
<D`rall> ::blushing beet red now, pulls off the rest of the cover - it appears 
to be a painting of Coronado as seen from a distance::
<Savant> ::She bemaed wider:: I'll just be sure to invite the marine company to 
restrain you ^_-
<Ironside> Indeed.I doubt I have so many suicidal officers.
<Kari> That's, uh, that's great. I'm not art critic, but I
<Kari> ... I''m sure the Admiral will appreciate it
<Savant> ::She laughed cheerily:: Are you cidding me Sir? A chance to mortify 
and embarrass the old man tin-shanks himself? I doubt any marine you'd want on 
your side would turn that up.
<Savant> ((kidding, even))
<D`rall> ::Frowns:: I tried to paint what I saw when I was flying the Diana... 
You can't really see the Kelaka or Masada in it though ::Frowns:: The colors 
just didn't work out right I guess.
<Ironside> Given they would know it would be their last mortal decision, I 
wouldn't be so sure.::smirks slightly:: Or have you forgotten what I did to poor 
Mr. Lightbody.
<Drexler> ::enters the lounge, PADD tucked under his arm::
<Kari> ::nods:: I
<Kari> <<gah>>
<Savant> ::She grinned widely, her eyes alight and merry:: Honestly, Sir, a 
little mortal terror isn't going to stop a marine from getting back at his 
superiors... you were there once ^_-
<Kari> ::nods:: I'm sure you are right. Bang up job, homemade gifts will always 
have a certain appeal
<Ironside> ::quietly:: Not like them.::pauses, smiles politely at Savant:: 
Excuse me.::heads for the replicator::
<D`rall> ::shrugs:: I just wish I'd more time to put a few finishing touches on 
it, but it just never seems to be finished if I keep doing that.
<Drexler> ::stops by the replicator, getting a mug of hot chocolate::
<Shadow-FjP> ::smirks thinking that the Col would non appreciate such antics 
now::
<Savant> ::Her smile softened and she inclined her head repectfully to him, 
letting him be::
<Kari> Quite. Well, you can put it over there with the rest of the gifts 
whenever you get around to it ::starts to wonder off::
<Savant> ::She smiles at Drexler and nods to him as she busies herself stacking 
gifts on a table::
<D`rall> ::nods and quietly takes it over, hiding it among the various gifts, 
some fancy, some plain looking like hers::
<Ironside> ::retrieves a tumbler of single-malt from the replicator and sits 
down at the bar, lifting the PADD to a reading position::
<Ironside> <<goes to retrieve a real glass>>
<D`rall> ::stands around a bit uneasily, then goes to re-fasten a streamer that 
has fallen down already::
<Drexler> ::glances around::Oh, I nearly forgot.
<Savant> ::Savant hums a merry little tune to herself, busy with the gifts:: 
what did you forget Sieven?
<Kari> ::scampers about for a bit before deciding to get more refreshments from 
the replicator::
<Drexler> This whole thing.
<Drexler> ::sets his PADD aside::
<Savant> ah ^_^ it's no problem.. maybe i've been a little too quiet about it.
<Ironside> ::scrolls through the report, taking a sip from his glass::
<Savant> Poor Lora will be stunned, I think.
<D`rall> ::finishes, looking around::
<Shadow-FjP> do you think he will come to enjoy it towards the end?
<Savant> I certainly hope so!
<D`rall> ::heads over to the replicator, getting herself a cup of a fizzly 
orange drink::
<Savant> (( 8:o gos!))
<Savant> ::She sets the gifts in order and sits down at a conventient seat 
nearby, in front of a large collection of stemware::
<D`rall> ((::shrug:: All of my characters inherit at least ONE of my favorite 
foods and/or drinks ;D ))
<D`rall> ::sips a bit of the bubbly concoction and smiles, taking a nearby seat 
and enjoying the bright look of the lounge::
<Savant> ::She begins to place napkins, one into each glass, casually::
<D`rall> ::sees Savant working:: Anything I can do to help?
<Drexler> ::stretches and yawns, rubbing his eyes, moving over to straighten a 
gift box::
<Savant> You can help with the silverware and the flatware if you're looking for 
something to do ^_^
<D`rall> ::smiles:: Sure. ::heads over and picks up a pile of utensils and 
begins setting them out piece by piece::
<Savant> thank you ^_^ you're quite helpful, I have to say.
<Kari> ::finishes arranging a plate of food and, picking up a stack of paper 
letters, begins to hang them on the viewports::
<Shadow-FjP> when are we expecting the Admiral to show up??
<D`rall> ::chuckles:: That's how we survived on Reor and how I was raised. It's 
a good trait to have. ::places a spoon::
<Savant> we're actually setting up for tomorrow.
<Ironside> ::sets the PADD down on the bar top and takes another sip from his 
glass, looking over the wide variety of bottles and glasses along the back wall 
behind the bar::
<Shadow-FjP> ahhh ::loooks over at the Keg::we better get that back into 
someplace cold
<Savant> there's a refridgerator behind the bar.
<D`rall> ((This is the future. We don't need no stinkin' refrigeration, all the 
kegs have self-refrigeration apparati
<D`rall> Just hope that he doesn't try to visit here before tomorrow.
<Savant> oh, I have a definate distraction set up for him tomorrow, don't worry 
^_^
<D`rall> ::wry grin of amusement:: Such as what, a hull breach?
<Savant> No, something far more plausible
<Savant> ::she grinned and got a wicked gleam in her eye:: paperwork
<D`rall> ::blinks:: That's evil.
<D`rall> But pure genius ::grins::
<D`rall> ::finishes with the silverware and flatware:: There, how's that?
<Savant> it'll be nice, easy paperwork. But lots of it ^_-
<Savant> lovely ^_^
<D`rall> ::picks up the discarded cup and takes another sip::
<Savant> ::She smiles and begins to distribute the glasses::
<Kari> ::turns around, glancing at Savant:: Do you think we could arrange to get 
a grill in here?
<Savant> I can get one
<D`rall> <<Heh, we should have a close call just so Savant can sic the paperwork 
on him, hehe>>
<Savant> ((hee hee))
<Kari> ::turns to Ironside:: Would you be interested in cooking out again, 
Colonel?
<Savant> ::She grinned and turned towards Ironside as well::
<Ironside> ::pauses in mid-motion of bringing his glass to his lips for a brief 
moment, then finishes taking a sip::
<Ironside> In the event that one might be able to procure the proper tools, I 
may be willing to provide my....skills in the area of cuisine.
<Savant> I can get you whatever you'd need, Sir ^_^ I wasn't made Flag Logistics 
officer for nothing ^_-
<D`rall> ::Sips the drink:: Grilling food? Can you even do that without setting 
off the fire suppression systems?
<Kari> Our beloved Colonel has managed to do it before, and on the bridge no 
less.
<Savant> sure, i'll just get a hood for it ^_^
<D`rall> ::blinkblink:: The bridge. Grilling. ::blink::
<Savant> long story, dear ^_^
<D`rall> Must be... ::confused look on her face::
<Ironside> ::sniffs, takes another sip:: A  very  long story.
<Savant> I'll tell you some time ^_-
<Savant> ::She places the last of the glasses and dusts her hands off:: There we 
are.
<Ironside> ::looks over his shoulder:: Impressive.
<Kari> ::glances around:: Is that it?
<D`rall> ::nodnods, just taking more sips of her fizzly drink::
<Savant> thank you ^_^ I don't want it to be too much... do you think it is?
<Ironside> ::gives Savant a blank stare, having already voiced his opinion on 
the matter::
<Drexler> ::takes a sip of hot chocolate::
<Savant> ah. My apologies for intruding ^_^
<D`rall> ::leans against a column, finishing her drink::
<Kari> ::nods to herself:: Looks good to me. Now we just have to wait for 
tomarrow.
<Drexler> ::glances at Savant:: Why so early?
<Savant> it seemed the best time to set up the lounge, hoenstly ^_^ I've never 
done this before.
<D`rall> ::Goes to refill her glass::
<Savant> ::she sits back down again, most of the setting-up finished::
<Drexler> ::taps his fingers on the side of his mug, unsure what to say::
<Savant> I hope he takes this the right way.
<Ironside> ::clears his throat:: And just to clarify, if I am to...cook, any red 
meat will be cooked medium rare, and anyone asking for anything more than that 
will receive a charchoal briquette.
<D`rall> ::returns with the cup full once again of orange fizzly fluid:: He 
should - I mean, this *is* a celebration of life.
<Savant> ::She grinned at Ironside:: You're a marvellous cook, Sir, I'm sure no 
one is worried. But i'll make a sign in case.
<Savant> ::She smiled at D`rall and shrugged a little:: 
<Shadow-FjP> Prescot> that sounds prefect actually...anything more than that is 
disgusting
<Ironside> ::looks over at D'rall:: Consider however, ensign, just how many such 
'celebrations' he's had....
<Drexler> Indeed.
<Savant> He's never had one *from us*, however.
<Drexler> an... err, my people live so long that we celebrate our lives in 
cycles of twelve years.I suppose that's how we avoid the monotony.
<D`rall> ::shrugs:: Some people just don't take time to adequately reflect on 
their life. A birthday is not only a celebration of your life, but a chance for 
you to look back at the past year and to evaluate yourself.
<D`rall> Besides, ::grins:: Who doesn't like birthday cake?
<Kari> ::glances over at Drexler, the mention of his race immedietly drawing her 
attention::
<Savant> Very true, but when one has lived as long as he, i sppose the novelty 
wears off sometimes ^_^
<Drexler> ::inspects the ensign a moment before sipping his hot chocolate, 
taking a moment to glance across the rim of the mug at Kari::
<Savant> ::She sighs lightly:: I hope that this isn't a mistake.
<Kari> If it is I have no doubt it will be a highly entertaining mistake
<D`rall> That's what I'm supposed to be saying about my painting ::wry grin:: 
Even if he isn't happy, I'm sure he'll see this as a gesture from people who 
are... well, as close as you can get to a flag officer I guess.
<Savant> well, if it's entertaining, i suppose i'll bear a little embarrassment 
for the good of a little humour
<D`rall> And like you said, it's also a morale boost for the crew ::smiles::
<Savant> that's an important part, yes.
<Kari> So, uhh, I don't think anyone has been clear on this...is this Lora's 
Birthday or Kor's Birthday?
<D`rall> ::blinks:: That's right... which IS it?
<Savant> this would be Kor's birthday.
<Shadow-FjP> does he even celebrate the hosts birthday?
<Savant> I don't know ^_^
<Savant> there's a dearth of information on the subject.
<Shadow-FjP> hmm...interesting concept a child would delight in an oppertunity 
to have two birthdays in one year
<D`rall> That's for sure.
<Savant> I'm sure he's beyond that stage ^_-
<Savant> ::She settled into her couch at the back wall and let out a slight 
sigh::
<D`rall> ::sips awkwardly at her drink, the fizz slowly dying::
<Drexler> ::takes another sip, his eyes flashing over at Kari briefly, wondering 
what had prompted her to react earlier to something he said::
<Savant> ::She pursed her lips and frowned a little, full of thoughts::
<D`rall> ...maybe we should just have held a little party on the holodeck, not 
in the lounge.
<Kari> ::glances around the lounge, taking in the decorations, blissfully 
unaware of anything else in the universe(s)::
<Savant> you think?
<Ironside> ::pushes back from the bar and rises with his PADD:: Well, I suppose 
I had better go choose a variety of meats to prepare for tomorrow. ::looks at 
Savant:: At what time do you intend to....lure the Admiral here tomorrow?
<Savant> I'm going to lure him down to the lounge tomorrow after alpha shift ^_^
<Ironside> Very well, I'll plan to be here a little bit earlier then.::looks 
between the rest of the officers in the lounge::Until then...::nods::
<Savant> sleep tight Sir. I'll see you tomorrow.
<D`rall> ::nods:: Have a nice rest.
<Drexler> ::grins:: Going to bed, colonel?I just woke up.
<Drexler> ::takes another sip::
<Ironside> You know better than anybody else that I don't sleep, Savant.::smiles 
that small ghostly smile and nods again, exiting the lounge::
*** Ironside has left #uss-coro
<Savant> ::Savant let out another sigh and voiced her thoughts aloud:: I hope i 
didn't offend him.
<Kari> It is so hard to tell with a marine.
<Savant> Most marines I can read quite easily, in fact.
<Savant> Him, though. . .
<D`rall> I'm sure you didn't do anything to offend him. He just... seems like 
the kind of person who comes across... well... ::Shrug:: At any rate, I'm due 
for some rest. ::gets to feet:: Good evenin' y'all.
<Savant> good night ^_^
<D`rall> ::trudges out of the lounge for bed::
*** D`rall is now known as Obs_Farrell
<Drexler> ::doesn't say anything::
<Obs_Farrell> <Ganight>
*** Obs_Farrell has quit IRC (Leaving: No Guts, No Glory: 
http://www.classicbattletech.com)
<Savant> ::she exhales and looks out of the windows::
<Kari> ::leans back, closing her eyes for just a moment...::
<Savant> ::She spoke quietly:: Well, I suppose that's that, then.
<Savant> ((Call it there i guess?))
