"Teacher, badgers aren't native to this area! There hasn't been any report of a badger within ten miles of here for the last seventy years. I think you're just scared of big nasty people with gunses!" [23:21] It's why I've always said shielding kids from things like this can do as much harm as it may good. [23:21] but my sister is in 1st grade.. [23:21] it's not really something she needs to know.. [23:21] hell, shielding anyone from anything can do lots of harm.

[00:02] ::As soon as the inn door was open she snapped back to attention there, watching like a predator fromthe inn's security system:: [00:02] HoH> ::turns around, looking at Marcy:: You coming? [00:02] Inn> ::watches the stairs for activity:: [00:02] HoH> ::nods and follows:: [00:02] HoH> Oh hell I'll get it myself! ::sighs and walks to a replicator and replicates a cup of strong brandy, downing it in one gulp:: [00:02] HoH> ::blinks:: Im sorry milady? ::looks at Marcy and shrugs:: Im afraid thine gues is as good as mine is... (w) ask her for me if you would? [00:02] Inn> ::puts a hand through his hair staying quiet and then turns back to the Bartender:: Get me another, but something different this time... [00:02] HoH> ::blinks but replicates another one and downs it too:: [00:02] Inn> ::heads for the lift:: What'd you have in mind? [00:02] HoH> ::gives Prescot a quick nod:: [00:02] ::nods slowly at first, then more assuredly:: He was...is...one of the two. However my father's much better with civilians than I am. I wouldn't be able to tolerate that many ignorant and self absorbed people at one time. [00:03] Inn> I dunno. Something aside from the usual club sandwich or whatever else you order. ::grins:: [00:03] Inn> Italian? [00:03] Inn> ::watches the lifts as well:: [00:03] Inn> Italian what? ::grins:: [00:03] Inn> You know ... italian pasta. [00:03] ::nods:: I suppose that could be a problem.. [00:03] HoH> ::replicates more brandy and drinks it down, stumbling a bit:: [00:03] Inn> ::enters the lift as it arrives:: Didn't know you followed human foods. ::hits the button for the mezzanine level:: [00:04] ::shakes his head:: Anyways, there's no use in thinking about it until I've made up my mind. [00:04] <> [00:04] HoH> ::looks at Lauren:: arst thou alright milady? [00:04] HoH> ::glances to Marcy as she gets more brandy:: [00:04] <> [00:04] HoH> Commander.. I must ask... [00:04] <<::gets into the development tool and paints one in the corner, specifically for hankerchiefs and flowers::>> [00:04] Inn> ::nods to the waiter as his food arrives: a local food, something resembling a potato, smothered with fried, greasy red vegetables:: [00:04] <> [00:04] ::Savant scoured the lounge dilligently with one set of routines, while the proper information searching routines hunted down information on both Dalton and Lora Kor:: [00:04] <> [00:04] <<::hits the "save" button, then closes HallofHeroes.env::>> [00:05] Inn> I've had all kinds of food in my day. Ferengi cuisine is quite good, actually. [00:05] Inn> I understand that the cuisine here was quite limited when they first arrived. ::sounds almost wistful:: [00:05] WHere the hell do you get booze around here?? ::groans:: [00:06] Inn> Hmm, is that so. {{ Oh and ... we're not in our room anyway, so just remember that we know at least 1 ... computer is listening to everything we say. }} [00:06] CoroBr> ::sitting quietly on the now deserted bridge:: Just seems to strange... [00:06] HoH> ::ponders a good way to phrase this:: It's...captain now [00:06] Inn> ::holds up something green and shows the Bartender:: What exactly....is this? [00:06] HoH> ::nods:: Then you have answered my question, ma'am.. [00:06] Obs_Santiago is now known as Barman [00:06] HoH> ::blinks looking around:: around the corner there should be a bar milady, but there is no bar here [00:06] << lol. >> [00:06] HoH> I assume your promotion has come with a change of position? [00:06] Inn> ::nods, both to the thought and the statement, stepping out of the lift:: Yep. Only 5,000 or so people made the first jump, and very few of them were gourmet chefs. Replicated food was the order of the day. [00:06] ::finds Lauren:: [00:06] Inn> ::eyes dart to the lift:: [00:07] HoH> ::leans her head against the wall:: I wish i Was dead [00:07] Inn> You'll forgive the small pun. ::stops:: Lounge or restaurant? [00:07] HoH> ::nods:: Pegasus [00:07] Sounds miserable. I'd have killed myself if I had ever been in such horrible straits. [00:07] ::frowns:: You need to ask? I'm no barfly. [00:07] HoH> ::nods:: Congratulations.. ::almost laughs at the verbal irony:: [00:07] CoroBr> So strange that everything is so... quiet all of the sudden. I mean, no urgency to get to the next battle or finish repairs... [00:07] ::Savant, ever watchful, reserves a table for the two in the restaurant:: [00:07] Inn> Ah, the irony. ::grins and angles for the restaurant:: [00:07] Inn> ::downs the double scotch, chasing it with a bite of the potato-ish thing:: [00:08] Inn> Yes well, what can I say. ::smirks and follows Tebrun:: [00:08] Inn> Bartender> Hivarian Grass. The closest thing our kitchen had to "green leaf lotus" did you call it? Based on your description... [00:08] HoH> ::tilts head:: is something wrong milady? [00:08] HoH> ::pounds her hand against the wall:: (m) I wish i was dead. [00:08] ::Savant hung close to D`rall as well, but was unable to reply much. She only answered quietly:: A welcome change of pace. [00:08] HoH> Wallave is bringing some guy in from Coronado to take over for me, I tried, but... [00:08] Inn> ::notes the Trill and his Ullian counterpart, and immediately goes on guard mentally:: [00:09] CoroBr> Not really. Before there was always a purpose for the moment - to survive, to live to fight again. [00:09] ::gently holds Lauren's hand away from the wall and leads her to a table:: [00:09] HoH> ::turns his head to her:: Well Captain.. I thank you for trieing.. I'll keep this green boy scout from Coro in line.. ::snickers:: [00:09] Inn> ::smiles at the greeter:: Two, please. ::glances around the room:: That booth by the window, if possible. [00:09] HoH> Ill thank you to take your hands off me.. ::backs away, still quite shaken up:: [00:09] and now you get to find your own purpose, Ma'am. [00:09] ::looks at the time:: I suppose I should go see Dalton... or more preferably LoraKor... [00:09] Inn> Grass? ::shakes his head:: You know for the first time in a long time I want something 'replicated' but I'm an explorer now so... ::continues eating:: [00:09] ::takes a step back:: [00:09] Inn> My, my. [00:09] ::smirks:: Want me to get Vilor? [00:10] Inn> :: smiles and looks down at his cuff:: {{ I guess Savant is not the only one interested in us. We're definitely being watched by someone here. }} [00:10] ::smiles:: you wanna hold Airian while I get him? you haven't held her all day... [00:10] CoroBr> I've fought my entire life. Fought against nature, fought against the skies, fought against the Pfhor... ::sigh:: Finding a new purpose is just the problem Savant. [00:10] HoH> ::starts crying softly, her knees shaky:: [00:10] HoH> It just wont be the same, though.. [00:10] Inn> ::frowns as he has the urge to greet the Trill man, but cannot understand why... he takes another bite of the food, though, finding it surprisingly bland:: [00:10] Inn> ::follows the greeter further into the restaurant:: {{Don't look now, but I think that's Captain Drexler at the far table.}} [00:10] Your records shows a very innovative and productive nature, Ma'am. You won't have a problem adjusting. [00:10] Alright. ::smiles and accepts Airian, at the same time placing a call to a public transport for pickup downstairs:: [00:10] {{ Hmm, that could definitely explain it. }} [00:10] HoH> ::Watches lauren leave the Hall of Heros and shrugs:: interesting... [00:11] ::goes into the children's room and gets Vilor:: [00:11] ::pulls a chair and indicates it to Lauren without touching or getting too close to her:: [00:11] Inn> ::glances around carefully, checking to see if he recognizes any other well-known Defender persona, then smiles at the greeter as he drops into the chosen booth:: [00:11] HoH> ::laughs emptily:: I'm sure you will. You deserve more, though. Despite what he may think, you are ready [00:11] CoroBr> ::wry grimace:: My record probably doesn't say that I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with my life now. [00:11] Inn> ::chokes as the scotch finds its way into his antestomach and dabs his mouth with a napkin:: [00:11] ::winks at a pretty looking face further down the bar:: Do you eat this Hivarian Grass stuff? [00:11] Inn> So ... should we order to go? [00:11] HoH> ::looks at the barman, tears in her eyes and sits down:: [00:11] It does Ma'am. [00:12] :sits down at the next seat at the table and folds his hands:: [00:12] ::goes back out to the entry way and puts Vilor in the stroller:: shall we go dad? [00:12] Inn> ::shakes his head and smiles a banal little smile at the "Your server will be with you momentarily" spiel:: [00:12] ::rises from his seat and nods:: I've called for a transport. It should be downstairs momentarily. [00:12] HoH> ::puts her head on the table, crying softly:: [00:12] CoroBr> ::shrugs:: It may, but I still have no idea what to do. ::laughs:: A helmsperson who doesn't know where she's going in her life. That's a good one. ::embarrassed laughter:: [00:12] Inn> ::closes his eyes, beginning to concentrate:: [00:12] Inn> ::smiles:: {{ What's your game, boss? You want to screw with their minds or something? }} [00:13] ::smiles:: thank you, Vilor will probably wake up on the way there... he was almost finished with his nap anyways... [00:13] HoH> Well.. I expect to hear nothing but the best from Pegasus now.. I hear they just got the best CO in town.. ::chuckles, again irnical:: [00:13] have you considered being a bush pilot, Ma'am? It's very rewarding work and fits nicely with your choice of lifestyle, I think. [00:13] ::nods and opens the door, holding it open for Zunite, putting Airian in the stroller before exiting the apartment:: [00:13] CoroBr> Bush pilot? [00:14] yes, Ma'am. [00:14] ::pushes the call button for the lift:: [00:14] Inn> ::smiles and pulls out a PADD, making a great show of making some notes on it:: {{It'd look suspicious if we walked in here, then turned around and left. Damned interesting that of all the hotels and bars and restaurants in a 20-click radius, the Captain of Coronado chooses to eat here. And damned if that isn't his XO behind him, sitting at the bar.}} [00:15] Inn> ::frowns:: {{ The little nosey computer must have tipped them off. But what do they want? }} [00:15] ::enters the lift as it arrives and hits the public transport level, watching the doors close as the lift decends:: [00:15] <<::chokes:: Tactical Officer...don't go promoting me in this reality too ;) >> [00:15] HoH> ::reaches over, placing a hand on his shoulder:: Thankyou, Kyle, I honestly don't think I could've done it without you [00:15] I should really start my own business you know... [00:15] CoroBr> Check the sensor scans down there Savant. Not a lot of isolated places left. [00:15] <> [00:16] CoroBr> Heck, at the rate of growth, there won't be isolated places around here for much longer. [00:16] ::Savant watched the two musing and smiled to itself.... they were probably wondering why Drexler and Dejat were both at that bar, that had turned out to be happenstance. But fortunate, at that.:: [00:16] HoH> Of course you could have.. I... You could have.. ::leaves it at that:: [00:16] In this day and age, I'm sure you could do some very lucrative business delivering people and precious cargo between planets. [00:16] Inn> ::smiles as the server arrives and orders a Guinness, and after a bit of thought, some onion rings:: Don't know. [00:16] Inn> ::smiles as the alcohol enters his bloodstream, then opens his eyes, glancing around for something different:: [00:16] Wait until you hear what Dalton has to offer. If they're planning as large an acquisition of Defender personell as I think they are, it might be difficult to squirrel away their business. ::rolls the stroller out onto the open air transport level and towards the waiting transport:: [00:16] HoH> ::leaning close to the table, though still keeping his distance from Dyson:: do you want to talk? [00:17] <> [00:17] <<::erases and rewrites THAT, too>> [00:17] HoH> ::sniffles and looks at him suspiciously:: about what? [00:17] possible though.. you do realize that a good portion of their new products have been my engineering.. [00:17] Inn> ::accepts a menu and hides behind a bit, clearing the gibberish on the PADD with one finger:: [00:17] CoroBr> ::shrugs:: Where's the challenge in that? A few hours between planets at the most. Repetitive work. ::shakes head:: I need some action. [00:18] ::orders an italian dish -- spaghetti:: Well ... this certainly is going to make things harder. [00:18] HOH> ::nods, not thinking of anything left to say:: [00:18] about why you came in, took two shots straight off the bottle, pounded on the wall a little bit, then sat down and started to cry. [00:18] ::secures Airian in the transport and enters himself:: I don't doubt it. Problem is, their products have their name, and their patent, not yours. [00:18] HoH> ::looks at him:: I was assaulted on my ship.. by the chief medical officer no less. ::tears in her eyes:: [00:18] ::to the driver:: Fisher Landing Inn, please. [00:18] Visiting places you've never been, to out of reach and exciting locales? You could operate on the fringes of known space, be an explorer in your own right. [00:18] Inn> What did you expect? That your chosen conquest would just roll over on her back, kick her legs into the air, and invite you in? [00:19] Inn> That wouldn't be much fun, would it? ::amused voice from behind the menu:: [00:19] HoH> The crew...I.. will miss you.. ::turns and smiles halfway..:: [00:19] ::nods to the waiter as he comes by to check on him, speaking to him in Reorsan quietly and again slipping him something:: [00:19] ::picks Vilor up and puts him in the transport and then folds up the stroller and enters the transport herself:: [00:19] Inn> ::gives Tebrun a look:: I was talking about YOUR conquest. [00:19] Inn> ::pushes Aldur's menu aside and gives him a look:: I think you should give up on the AI. It's not worth the trouble. [00:19] Inn> Wouldn't be much fun for me, either. [00:19] <> [00:19] <> [00:20] ::Savant, able to lip-read again, noted the metaphors flying and almost laughed at the image:: [00:20] ::nods slowly:: True... [00:20] <<::rolls d20 to resist being polymorphed into a dead guy::>> [00:20] ::nods:: yea.... pity not many people read scientific journals... [00:20] Inn> ::smiles once again at the pretty lady:: Not sure if you heard me...I said: Do you eat this grass-stuff too? [00:20] <> [00:20] ::sighs after a second:: talk about a violation of trust... [00:20] HoH> ::akward silence:: [00:20] CoroBr> But I guess that the Task Force is a place I want to be. I don't want to be in business for myself. Too much paperwork. ::wry grin:: [00:21] HoH> ::nods, tears run down her cheeks:: [00:21] ::chuckles as the transport lifts off of the pad and out of the apartment building, climbing rapidly into the air traffic and zipping towards the wharf area:: [00:21] Inn> {{I thought we were being subtle. She's probably keeping an eye on you.}} ::shakes out his menu:: [00:21] then be happy with your place, and hope for the future ^_^ I hardly think this "era of peace" will be without trouble. [00:21] ::pulls a handkerchief from his pocket:: [00:21] CoroBr> ::nods:: That too. ::frowns:: You really think we're going to have trouble anytime soon? [00:21] HoH> ::takes a breath:: I'll get you two good engineers before I go. [00:22] It woudlnt' be surprising, Ma'am. [00:22] Inn> {{ Exactly the point. }} I don't think we can trust to be associated with people who are ... so incredibly duplicitous. I mean, I for one would blanch at the thought of someone being less moral than I am. [00:22] Inn> ::glances in his jacket pocket and brings out a small case:: [00:22] Inn> Certainly a computer fits that category. ::grins:: [00:22] Inn> ::drops the menu:: Besides, that isn't a ruse. I really am interested. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if they've been ignoring the contributions she could make for the last five years. [00:22] ::sighs deeply, looking over some of the names on the wall, noticing a few of the other KNights that came with him on this "Quest" and wondering how many more will die:: [00:22] probably most of the engineers that repair the equipment I invented don't know who I am.... ::frowns:: that's really a bit sad.. [00:22] ::hands it to Lauren:: [00:23] ::Savant again almost laughed... she slowed as he wished she could contribute... once more she cursed her existance as nothing ore than a set of data. Immortality and powers aside, it was agonizingly lonely:: [00:23] HoH> ::takes the hankerchief, smiling slightly:: [00:23] ::shrugs:: One of the disadvantages of working under contract. However, think about what would happen if you hadn't invented that equipment, and what kind of substandard work they'd be using. [00:23] Inn> Some of us still have our souls. Granted, mine's a small one, but I still have it. ::winks, then looks up at the approaching waitress:: Calzone, please, but go easy on the pepperoni. Can they do that? ::smiles as she nods confirmation:: Great, thanks. ::hands over the menu:: [00:23] Inn> ::opens the case and reads the tiny monitor in it... scrolling through a selection of items:: [00:23] ::watches out the window as the transport banks and descends towards the inn:: [00:23] CoroBr> ::frowns:: I guess that makes sense... ::Can't resist asking:: If you extrapolate on current political and military status and projected plans for the future... what do you see for issues coming up? [00:23] HoH> ::smiles:: [00:23] Inn> ::moves a few stools over, closer to the woman:: So, you uh got a room upstairs? [00:23] ::smiles at Ironside:: thanks dad that makes me feel like it's all worth while... and I'm not getting paid enough... [00:24] HoH> ::quietly:: (q) thanks [00:24] Inn> Trinkets don't have souls. Myself, I prefer a humanoid any day. Plenty more to leverage against, if you need to. [00:24] Inn> 4Woman> ::turns, disgusted, and slaps Daren with at least two of her four hands:: [00:24] Inn> ::glances over at the sound of Daren getting slapped:: [00:24] ::nods:: [00:24] Inn> Speaking of trinkets ... ::grins, then indicates Drexler:: [00:24] The fad of accumulating personal wealth went out of fashion several hundred years ago, Zunite. ::smirks as the craft comes up on the inn, which he recognized from when he checked in the day before, and settles down in front of it:: [00:24] Inn> Owch...Hmm, Boratis slaps are the worst...::rubs his face as the woman gets up and leaves:: [00:24] <> [00:25] HoH> ::wipes away the tears:: Hes in the brig of our ship now...but Im still shaken up [00:25] HoH> ::leans against one of the blank walls and sighing, thinking about how things might be changing and hoping that not everything goes to hell:: [00:25] Inn> There are things other than having leverage to use on someone. Actually caring about their feelings, for one. {{Didn't you hear it in her voice? She's starving for any kind of recognition.}} Should have brought my pipe. [00:25] ::gets out of the transport and unfolds the stroller:: yes, but I rather like it... [00:25] Inn> ::grins, then returns his attention to the small case, activating it... audible only to Drexler, a drone cello note plays:: [00:25] Vilor> ::wakes up and looks around him:: go on trip? [00:26] CoroBr> I mean, what's the worst that could possibly happen? [00:26] HoH> ::walks on down the hall with Kari still not sure of what to say: [00:26] Inn> ::glances over at Drexler as he turns his attention to the object, then looks back, eyebrows up:: [00:26] ::exits as well and takes Airiane out and places her in her own stroller:: [00:26] Inn> I've always left the caring to you. {{ And in case you haven't noticed by the impressarios gracing our fine two-star hotel, she's passing on all information to her superiors. }} [00:26] ::smiles at Vilor:: yup, we're going to see a very bad man and a very good man... come one, out you go ::helps Vilor out of the transport:: [00:26] Inn> ::frowns:: What is it? [00:27] it is understandable. [00:27] HoH> ::turns towards the section of the memorial wall reserved for the Vanquish as they passed it, thinking that they now had another name to add to the bottom of the list:: [00:27] ::chuckles at Zunite's statement and begins pushing the stroller into the inn:: [00:27] ((Sorry, was distracted a moment)) [00:27] HoH> ::looks at him:: (q) Is there any tea back there? It calms me down a bit [00:27] Inn> ::smirks to himself just a little, and taps a small button a few times, a spike forming on the oscillograph, to the far left:: [00:27] ::follows holding Vilor's hand:: [00:27] what room am I going to? [00:27] Well, Ms D`rall, I see us having to fight several brush-fire wars to stabilize the borders. [00:27] we have approximately seventy-eight varieties. do you have a preference? [00:28] I don't recall. ::goes over to the front desk:: Excuse me, where can we find a Mr. Dalton? [00:28] HoH> ::nods:: Lemon Tea... slightly warmed. [00:28] Inn> ::waves a hand at Tebrun:: Yoo hoo, boss. [00:28] CoroBr> That doesn't sound too bad - I mean, a few small wars, we could probably handle it [00:28] Inn> ::shakes his head, then scratches at his ear a bit:: And that's fine. But concentrate on your people... I'll concentrate on my... people. ::grins:: [00:28] HoH> ::spies Kari and Marcy across the hall near the Vanquish memorial, looking over at them and nodding once smiling slightly:: [00:28] ::nods and stands, heading behind the bar:: [00:28] I'm sure you're all up to the task, Ma'am [00:28] ::shakes his head:: Fine, fine. [00:28] Inn> Female voice> {{o/~ Owealuu... owealuu... don fa glondr pa pa vroni...o/~}} [00:29] HoH> ::uses the hankerchief and wipes away her tears:: [00:29] Hotel Manager> Room 302, sir, but I believe he's in the restaurant right now. [00:29] HoH> Captain.. ::still not confortable calling her Kari:: I noticed you've been disturbed by something over the past few days.. Is that why your leaving? [00:29] <> [00:29] ::looks at Ironside:: you going up to your room? [00:29] <> [00:29] Inn> ::smiles as his beer and the onion rings arrive:: [00:29] ::looks at the spaghetti as it arrives:: Hmm ... looks good. [00:30] I'll wheel Ariane over there for you. ::smirks:: For leverage, of course. [00:30] Inn> I take it you don't want a ring? ::dunks one in dipping sauce and settles back a bit:: [00:30] Inn> ::smiles as he pumps the volume up... audible to telepaths as a Betazoid madrigal, becoming rather loud and distracting:: [00:30] ::Savant watched quietly, the domestic scene familiar and slightly uncomfortable. Old jealousies rose up again:: [00:30] ::smiles:: oh I'll be fine... might do a little guilt trip on them... the whole working mother routine... [00:31] ::smirks:: Oh no, I insist. [00:31] Inn> Actually, I want to go introduce myself to the captain. ::grins:: "Why captain, how interesting that you choose to eat at this fine establishment!" [00:31] you'll come to dinner tonight, around 1800? [00:31] ::looks to the Bartender:: I believe I'll have some coffee...black and strong...make it an espresso, or whatever you have thats "close" to that... [00:31] HoH> Something we did? Said? [00:31] ::shrugs and starts walking over to the restruant:: [00:31] Inn> ::chuckles, then conversationally, between two onion rings:: What's the biggest, fastest computer we've got at HQ? [00:31] Inn> ::sits back and seems to enjoy the music, although to non-telepaths, it's just a quiet cello solo:: [00:31] <> [00:31] CoroBr> ::Smiles:: You know what Savant? I think you should take up counseling as a profession. I'm feeling better. [00:31] HoH> ::shakes her head:: These are troubled times. Countless stories speak of warriors preferring an enemy they can face to the political and social challenges that usually follow war [00:31] I'd be delighted. I haven't had a home cooked meal in some time. ::smirks and follows with Airiane in the stroller:: [00:31] ::returns with a mug and a gracious pot of tea, sits and places them in front of Dyson:: [00:31] Inn> who said it was going to be homecooked? ::grins:: [00:32] I'm glad you're feeling better, Ma'am, but I doubt i'd enjoy any success as a councellor ^_^ [00:32] HoH> ::looks up, smiling slightly:: (q) thank you.. [00:32] Inn> Hmm ... I don't know. Enough to keep up with your needs ... why? [00:32] Inn> ::chuckles, following:: [00:32] ::nods again:: [00:32] HoH> ::pours a cup and takes a sip, sighing softly:: [00:32] is it satisfactory? [00:32] CoroBr> ::grins:: I think you'd like it. They say that listening can be great therapy. [00:32] Inn> All my neeeds, sure. All of Savant's? If necessary? [00:32] HoH> ::nods, smiling a bit more:: yes thank you. [00:32] Inn> ::leans back, taking a long pull of his beer:: [00:32] Inn> :;gets to the door of the restruant and stops:: I think I can take it from here... [00:32] HoH> I...uh... should get back to Vanquish... ::lowers head:: They need to know.. [00:32] ::nods:: [00:33] CoroBr> And if you ever need someone to listen to you, just let me know ::smiles:: [00:33] Inn> ::frowns:: [00:33] HoH> ::takes another small sip, starting to feel calmer:: [00:33] Inn> Yes, but we wouldn't need to be worrying about that, right? ::smiles beatifically:: [00:33] Inn> ::notices Dejat's wife enter the restaurant:: [00:34] ::pulls up beside Zunite with the stroller:: [00:34] Inn> ::hesistates for a moment:: actually... you better come in with me, you know managing a stroller and a small child in a restruant is hard...
