[19:06] Coronado has spent the last couple of weeks at the asteroid- starship Xanadu. Though we "arrived" somewhat unexpectedly, it's proven a boon. M.R.F. Onyx is here repairing our damage and in the meantime, our position within Xanadu gave us lots of territory to explore. [19:06] In the process, we've learned a great deal about the final days of Alexandria, the city that lies within Xanadu's Second Chamber, and about the history of the Jjaro that lived there. In particular, we are learning more about the attack on and evacuation of the city. [19:06] We're also learning about the mysterious Fourth Chamber, which so far as we have been able to determine... goes on forever. A few people visited it, including the bulk of the Admiralty staff, who are currently en route to something called a "probability cluster" within it...

Knowing she's probably in for a wait, she sits on the nearby bench:: [20:51] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> :Savant immediately turns off the element:: what? [20:51] TL>::sniffs:: [20:51] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::exhales:: No entropy. If you let it heat up, it could take days or weeks for it to cool. And if we're going to sleep here, I don't want it to get too hot. [20:51] <[MJBC_Prescot]> 2nd> ::frowns, but wonders why the Col apologized to him:: I think wed better contact someone who knows more about this place... [20:51] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> ::startled by the admiral's outburst, he flinches:: [20:51] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> Perhaps we should bring in some ice. [20:51] <[BGDC_Ironside]> 4th> ::pauses, then looks at the element:: [20:51] <{LCdr_Dyson}> 2nd> ::puts away her tricorder and looks around a bit, raising an eyebrow:: [20:51] *> I want you to know that- well, my decision has nothing to do with your qualities as a mother. [20:52] *> Or your reaction to me. [20:52] <|CRS2_Ma`Aru|> ::considers him closely for a moment:: How long have you been on Coronado, commander? [20:52] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> They must have brought it here not knowing what they'd find, then not been in any mood to carry it back. Easier to leave it here. [20:52] *>It's clear that Paqui loves you more than anyone. [20:52] <[CLSL_Wayne]> 2nd> ::places the bird on the ground covering it up:: Go ahead. I think I am...tiring of this. ::stares for a few more seconds before turning to follow Prescot:: [20:53] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> I think we can do without food. The rat in the other building seems to have managed without. [20:53] ::stares at her console for a long time:: Captain.... [20:53] *> probably because I'm the only one who doesn't look at him as some sort of pest.. [20:53] <[BGDC_Ironside]> 4th> I suppose that makes sense...::pulls off the helmet:: [20:53] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> That's very sensible. . . . is there any food in here? [20:53] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> No food, no sleep. Immortality seems rather bland all of a sudden. [20:53] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> ::clears his throat:: Sorry. [20:53] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::nods at Drexler's unexpected joke and chuckles:: It does seem to take the fun out of living, doesn't it. [20:53] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::sighs:: [20:53] *> Well, that's true, you see him for who he is. But he's bonded with you on a deeper level as well. [20:54] <[BGDC_Ironside]> 4th> I brought some ration packs...although they're self heating, so eating them might mean a warm lump in your stomach until we depart. [20:54] <|LCen_Farley|> Well lets see? ::thinks for a moment:: [20:54] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::reaches into the duffel bag and pulls out the collapsable stave:: [20:54] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::chuckles a bit more:: Though come to think of it, Savant seems to do well enough without both. [20:54] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> She hasn't depended on food or sleep for her entire life, though. [20:54] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> I'm curious. . .::she grinned:: I've never needed either before. . . ::she got up and began to rummage.. seeing if there was any food hanging around... eventually ending up at the replicator:: [20:54] <|LCen_Farley|> About 3 years I do believe. [20:54] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::nods at Ironside:: Thank you, General, but no. [20:54] Q> Wait till you see what he's done with the holonanny. [20:55] <|CRS2_Ma`Aru|> Really? [20:55] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::finds an open space just a few feet away with just enough room:: [20:55] ::glances at Daren:: Sir? [20:55] Q> is it still me? [20:55] <|LCen_Farley|> Time flys when your having fun. ::smiles and thinks:: [20:55] Q>::yes only really big. [20:55] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::flicks the activation stud, extending the stave to its full length as she assumes the ready stance:: [20:55] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> Can I try one, General? [20:56] ::looks over:: Yes? [20:56] Q> ::as they enter, the huge Zunite disappears:: [20:56] <|CRS2_Ma`Aru|> ::smirks:: ...and you're still enjoying engineering? [20:56] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> ::takes another unnatural breath:: My lungs have never felt so redundant. In fact, most of my body feels this way. [20:56] <[BGDC_Ironside]> 4th> ::shrugs and pulls out a package, tossing it to Savant:: [20:56] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> Like dead weight. Heavy and useless. [20:56] Q>::goes over to Paqui and picks him up:: hey babe... [20:56] <|LCen_Farley|> Yes, I do. I think it's because there's always something to do and it's not always the same thing over and over. [20:56] Paqui> ama- [20:56] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> I wouldn't take in too much oxygen if you can avoid it, Commander. ::starts going through the other gear left in the building and comes up with another tricorder and a PADD:: [20:57] <[CLSL_Wayne]> 2nd> Where to Major? [20:57] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> ::She caught it gingerly, unused to the weight and feel. . . She turned it over in her hands as it heated up:: Really? I've never felt so.... I don't even know a word for it. Heh... me, speechless. [20:57] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::begins working through a series of feints and attacks she has put together from her studies that she hopes will improve her skills:: [20:57] <[MJBC_Prescot]> 2nd> ::eyes Wayne:: tiring?? how so? [20:57] sounds like a word to me, Zunite. [20:57] <[MJBC_Prescot]> 2nd> +taps+ Major Prescot to Commander Reed. [20:57] <[BGDC_Ironside]> 4th> First time for everything. ::smirks at Savant:: [20:57] Q>::thinks:: how old is he now? [20:57] <}CRDR_Reed{> +taps+ Reed, go ahead. [20:57] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:58] <[CLSL_Wayne]> 2nd> ::tries to smile:: Tiring as in I screwed up again. [20:58] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> Something tells me those who passed here before us... long before us... realized how cumbersome their bodies were. [20:58] ::smiles and kisses Paqui on the forehead:: six, seven months minus the staisis. [20:58] Q> He's got your access codes, Zunite, your shields are down. [20:58] <|CRS2_Ma`Aru|> Ahh, I'd imagine it'd be nice to have such a refreshing position. Is it really all that different, though? [20:58] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> Tiresome or not, immortality does not breed innovation. In my experience, a long life span breeds stagnation. [20:58] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::steps foward in an attack posture, then wheels around to block an assault from an unseen enemy, the twirl between motions a little more smooth than it was a few weeks ago:: [20:58] <[MJBC_Prescot]> 2nd> +taps+ Doc...... I have a bit of an odd request for you. I need you to preform a celluar scan for me, but its on a ::looks over at Wayne:: a Parakeet? [20:58] Q>::bounces Paqui and looks down at him:: you're growning up a bit fast aren't you kiddo? [20:58] I was curious, sir, as to why you chose to make an untrained bush pilot your chief helmsman. [20:58] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> ::Savant opened the ration bar and looked inside, taking the bar out:: [20:59] <}CRDR_Reed{> +taps+ What am I, a vet? [20:59] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:59] Q> If you'd like to be alone with him? [20:59] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::glances at Savant, smirking the tiniest bit:: Present company excluded, of course. [20:59] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> ::She shoved half of it into her mouth and spoke, her mouth full:: It does? I sure hope not. [20:59] Q> I noticed that too. He's precocious. [20:59] Q>::glances at Loco, gives him a simply evil look, and then goes back to playing with Paqui:: [20:59] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> ::she grinned a whimsical smile and nodded:: granted. [20:59] <[CLSL_Wayne]> 2nd> ::glances at Prescot puzzled but remains silent:: [20:59] <|LCen_Farley|> Well there alot of things that are the same but it's not like I do them all the time and in the same order. [21:00] <[MJBC_Prescot]> +taps+ For the time being your the best we got Id say... This bird was found inside the second chamber of Alexandria... Were there is supposed to be no wildlife.. [21:00] Q>:: looks at Zunite differently:: Is he what the future holds? [21:00] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::links the PADD over light-speed communications to Kelaka and starts tapping some notes into it:: [21:00] <|LCen_Farley|> I think the thing I liek the most is the actual fixing of something. I love to fix things. [21:00] Q> hmmm/ [21:00] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> Depends, I suppose. We are taught at a young age that our lives will be long. But the universe is so big, and does not wait for us to study it. [21:00] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::thrusts the pole over her head, deflecting an unseen overhead attack, then swings the stave down and around, planting it in the imaginary foe's groin:: [21:00] <{LCdr_Dyson}> ::snickers at the vet comment:: [21:00] <}CRDR_Reed{> +taps+ Huh..okay, where are you? I'm in the second chamber too, but as you've hopefully noticed, unless you're intensely dense, it's big. [21:00] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [21:00] <{LCdr_Dyson}> (m) maybe you are.... [21:01] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> ::she chewed thoughtfully and went over to the Admiral's padd, looking at his work:: Why're you using that lightspeed connection? That's painfully slow.... [21:01] <|CRS2_Ma`Aru|> Ahh, it must be very rewarding. [21:01] Q> Looks at Oswald again, and shakes off some odd, uncomfortable feelings. [21:01] <|LCen_Farley|> How do you like your job? [21:01] Maiko D'Rall can fly this ship through the eye of a needle and keep her in one piece Commander, I've seen her do it on more than a few occasions. She has talents with the helm that will blow your mind... [21:01] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::taps on the PADD:: I have a choice? [21:01] ::crosses his legs, still reading the PADD in his lap:: [21:01] Q> You know, Zunite everyone I've ever cared about has come to some horrible end. [21:01] <[CLSL_Wayne]> ::glances around the area letting his eyes move around the landscape:: What are you thinking, Prescot? That bird was alive. [21:01] <|LCen_Farley|> Yes it is. ANd at the same time can be very frustrating. Especially fixing the same thing a few times in a row. [21:01] Q> That's why I'm so afraid to love my son. [21:01] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> ::She frowned at the half-eaten ration bar, but ignored it and pushed the rest into her mouth, chewing as she replied:: Let me. [21:02] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> ::glances over at Savant:: [21:02] Q> You're not a ships counselor. [21:02] <[BGDC_Ironside]> 4th> ::glances between the Admiral and Savant, then drops the helmet a bed and sits down on it:: [21:02] ::nods slowly:: And why was is that no one bothered to train her properly in Starfleet protocol and discipline? [21:02] Q> well you haven't come to a horrible end have you... so you must not be loving yourself enough... [21:02] <|LCen_Farley|> It was very hard during the battles. [21:02] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> ::Savant reached out instinctively to the padd... at the same time, letting it borrow her own superluminal connection.. which shouldn't evne work in here, but was doing so anyways.:: [21:02] <|CRS2_Ma`Aru|> ::glances again at the half-dozen comm technicians:: It's very interesting. I quite enjoy it, while still feeling challenged. [21:02] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::watches the connection fail once, then twice:: [21:02] Q> ::laughs:: That's true. In fact, I once had to kill my alternate timeline self. [21:03] <[MJBC_Prescot]> 2nd> So am I... I am towards the Third chamber enterance near a set of trees... There are a few Defiants in orbit now, tell them to lock onto my com signal and beam on over if you can [21:03] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> ::she cocked an eyebrow and looked down at the padd:: That means it's not connecting, right? [21:03] Q> I did like myself once, very much. [21:03] <|LCen_Farley|> That's good to hear. Challenging always make anything better. [21:03] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::twirls around to face the imaginary foe behind her, using her momentum to swing the stave up, her hands shifting over the pole to a two-handed grip near the end, bringing it down with a resounding TWACK against the ground where her foe was:: [21:03] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::gives Savant an amused look:: Yes, Commander. Subspace doesn't operate in the Fourth Chamber. [21:03] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> Strange... shouldn't the light from the singularity overhead heat these objects quickly? Seeing as how the energy can't really dissipate. [21:03] <|LCen_Farley|> Where are you from? [21:03] <}CRDR_Reed{> +taps+ Alright, be there shortly. ::closes the channel:: +taps+ Reed to Orbiting Defiants. Relocate me to the set of trees near the entrance to the third chamber. [21:03] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [21:03] <|CRS2_Ma`Aru|> Earth. And you? [21:03] <|LCen_Farley|> If you don't mind me asking [21:03] <[RAGC_LoraKor]> 4th> ::takes the PADD back and resumes tapping in notes on his impressions of the walk and what's happened since:: [21:04] <[BGDC_Ironside]> 4th> ::sighs and pulls his legs up onto the bed, scooting back into the middle of it and crossing them before placing his hands on his knees, closing his eyes, and beginning a meditation session:: [21:04] <[CRS1_Drexler]> 4th> The buildings, that is. [21:04] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> Well... I do... I'm working superluminally, just fine. [21:04] Q> I guess my acting obnoxious is a way of protecting those who I don't want to see hurt from my curse. [21:04] * Obs_Santiago (santiago@son-ts11-8.mlode.com) has joined #uss-coronado [21:04] <|LCen_Farley|> Alaska on Earth [21:04] <[CRS3_Savant]> 4th> Huh.. I can connect with it... I can still read the data.. i just can't send it. [21:04] <}LJHL_D`rall{> ::brings the stave back up to the ready stance, clos
