[21:16] Prescot's not going to shoot more birds, is he? [21:17] that was Wayne actually ;) [21:17] Is there a lake? [21:17] Lakes, forests [21:17] Mountains [21:17] Pheasant! ::fires --> pheasant:: Oh my god, you just shot the Admiral! You bastard! [21:17] Cool. [21:17] lol [21:17] No, wait, that should be You subverted bastard! [21:18] Savant would be a little bit more angry about that than a southpark kid ^_- [21:20] so, a picnic?

You're getting to be just as abrupt with your entrances as I am. [21:26] ::smirks slightly as he bends over and sets the baskets on the ground:: Practice makes perfect. Should I need to perform in an emergency situation, I don't want to have to sit and think about it.

[21:28] ::glances to Prescot:: Hello. ::looks back to savant and kneels down:: Looks good. [21:29] ::spreads out his blanket and nods at Prescot as he approaches:: Plenty of room for everyone. [21:29] Of course, Colonel, it's open fare. I imagine if we asked really nicely we coudl even get the General to bring a barbeque down here. [21:29] Hrm...::rummaging around in the baskets:: I seem to have forgotten the mustard. [21:30] ::sets his basket down with the others and smiles at Ironside:: I got some. You can borrow it.

Unless the General is keeping something from me. ::moves down to the blanket and sets his bottles down on the blankets:: [21:31] ::grins:: sorry. I skipped a thread, I guess.

[21:33] geometry is so interesting inside of an O'neill colony. [21:33] ::smirks at Maiko and then at Savant:: Im sure it would happen to all of us in your situation [21:34] ::grabs a plate and fills it up with an assortment of food before picking up some silverware and sitting:: Homemade apple pie for anyone who wants some. ::smiles, looking around at everyone:: [21:34] ::shrugs:: I never asked to hang around a bunch of dead skeletons in a city that has ghosts and is haunted. [21:34] ::takes another bite as his eyes shift to Alexandria - the tower piercing the city scape, and the half collapsed false matter shield ringing the edge of the city:: [21:34] Out here... that just seems so far away. [21:34] Oh, but Xanadu has so much possibility, though! I guess I just don't see it the same as any of you. [21:35] this place is just so. . . vast. Endless processing threa- er, processes.::grins at Maiko:: [21:35] Where you see possibility... ::glances off in the distance towards the remains of the dome:: ...I see dead people.

[21:36] ((no worries ^_^)) [21:36] ::hesitates to ask for anything to eat, chewing on her lip slightly:: [21:37] ::shakes her head, her hair - recently cut to just above her shoulders - shifting:: No, I saw something there. I don't know what it was... I just don't care to repeat the experience. ::opens her lunch and pulls out a PB&J:: [21:37] ::looks at Lauren and motions:: Help yourself. It's for everyone. ::smiles:: [21:38] ::looks at Zachary:: Are you sure? [21:38] ::rummages around in one of the baskets and pulls out a sandwhich:: hmmm [21:38] At any rate, it's there, we're here, and this is normal enough that I can enjoy it ::smiles:: [21:39] ::Savant conjures up a holographic sandwich and sits with one knee up, resting her arm on it and looking throughfully across the concave plain:: [21:39] ::nods:: Of course I'm sure. Go ahead! ::eats some more and watches Savant:: [21:39] ::raises a brow at Savant:: didnt know holograms ate. ::smiles and pulls out a sandwich, nibbling at it, looking like she hasnt eaten much in a few days:: [21:40] ::she grinned absently:: we do, socially. [21:40] We, Savant? ::smirks:: [21:40] Oh.. I see. ::looks at her and smiles weakly:: [21:41] ::she shrugged:: There are other self-aware holograms out there. Most of us eat to keep up appearances, at least once in awhile [21:42] ::finishes his sandwhich and grabs a thermos, opening the top and taking a drink of whatever's inside:: [21:42] ::finishes the sandwich, then slips a flask out of her satchel, taking a quick swig of its contents:: [21:42] ::listens and looks around for something to drink, spots the bottles Prescot brought with him and nods at him:: What'd you bring to drink? [21:42] ::she ate a bite of her sandwich absently and commented:: so, has anything odd been happening on the ship lately? So much has been happening that I can hardly keep track [21:43] ::opens up one of his bottles and pours himself a good sized cup:: Fire Water. ::has himself a swig of his drink:: please help yourself if you want some. [21:43] ::blinks hard a few times , dropping the sandwich:: [21:44] ::pauses and looks at Lauren:: like that. What's wrong? [21:44] ::closes the flask and quietly puts it next to her, trying to not draw too much attention to it:: [21:44] ::smiles and grabs a glass, fills it up and takes a sip:: Nice stuff. Thanks man! [21:44] ::looks at her:: w..what? ::manages a fake smile:: Im alright. [21:45] To tell the truth, I haven't spent a great deal of time on the ship as of late, so I cannot comment. [21:45] you dropped your lunch, dear. [21:45] ::nods at Ironside with a grin:: odd has become pretty commonplace for us, hasn't it? [21:45] ::chuckles weakly and picks it up:: Ohh..right. ::nibbles at it only a little:: [21:45] ::turns to look at Lauren, wondering who she is as they haven't met yet:: [21:46] ::slight grin:: I believe I've adjusted my classifaction of what is odd and what is not, yes. [21:46] :she nods:: you haven't eaten in awhile, Lauren, you should take better care of yourself. [21:46] ::loks at Zachary:: Im one of the doctors.. ::turns to Savant:: Im just not all that hungry thats all. [21:46] ::she smirks::: I had to do that a good while ago, General. I'm still not used to being invisible. [21:47] ::pulls out another sandwich and munches away, watching the others:: [21:47] ::cracks his neck and downs a bit more of his liquor, finishing off his sandwhich:: [21:48] You should get some rest and some vitamins in you, LAuren... you're a bit pale, and running a fever. [21:48] ::looks at her:: Im fine.. just tired is all. ::coughs slightly:: [21:48] ::grabs some salad and begins munching on it:: I wonder why the Jjaro included mountains within Xanadu's interior? ::glancing at a range in the distance:: They serve no true purpose beyond a decoratory nature, and the occupy valuable terrain space. [21:48] :she winked:: a spectrogram doesn't lie, dear. [21:49] I think the Jjaro appreciated aesthetics. [21:49] Thats cheating you know. ::smiles weakly:: [21:49] ::smiles and holds out his hand to Lauren:: I'm Zachery Prentiss, and if you're a doctor you should know enough to take care of yourself. [21:49] ::she gave Lauren a Maiko-grin:: I always cheat. [21:49] ::shakes her head and nods to Zachary:: and perhaps i should return to quarters, after a stop off at sickbay [21:50] "Not til you finish eating young lady," my mother would say in this situation. ::grins at Lauren:: [21:50] ::looks at Lauren for a moment before looking out at the landscape of Xanadu, pausing only to get himself another sandwhich and pouring himself some more of his drink:: [21:50] Trust me you dont want me to eat. ::chuckles weakly:: not the way im feeling [21:51] ::cleans his plate and grabs another sandwich, before sipping some of the firewater:: Aahhh...good stuff! [21:51] ::savant poured Lauren some orange juice and set it in front of her:: [21:51] ::looked down and picked up the glass:: thank you. ::sipped it:: [21:51] mm. ::smile:: [21:51] Can't be any worse than Commander Tal is feeling. ::grin:: Rachel told me our intrepid first officer threw up while the ship was landing. [21:51] ::to ironside:: how long do you thik we're going to keep going like this? [21:52] ::sipped it and sighed softly:: [21:52] ::finishes his salad and turns a gaze to Savant:: Going like what, Savant? [21:52] ::nods at Maiko:: she did... Didnt make it to the head in time [21:53] ::she paused before recollecting her scattered thoughts:: Ever since we found Xanadu, things have been different. I guess I'm feeling nostalgic for the early days. Sometimes I just want to be an interface layer again. [21:53] ::finishes the orange juice and looks around the scenery:: [21:53] ::chuckles:: Guess having a Vulcan background doesn't mean childbirth is any easier [21:54] ::finishes his sandwich and downs the drink, sets the plate and glass aside and then stretches out on the blanket, relaxing:: [21:54] ::considers that for a moment, taking another drink from his flask and gazing down the second chamber towards the entrance to the third:: I think...that the situations we find ourselves in now are likely to persist, regardless of the outcome of our investigations into this facility and its nature. [21:54] ::looking at Maiko:: Nothing would make childbirth easier [21:54] ::she frowned and looks down a bit:: hm. I suppose that's life. Maybe in a few centuries I'll have acclimatized [21:54] Regardless of what we discover, or what knowledge we gain...our lives have been irrevocably altered, and that is something we are going to have to admit and accept. [21:55] ::the android nodded once:: It's just a little difficult to come at times, I guess. [21:56] ::shrugs:: I'll have to take your word for it. I just hope someone checked the dispensers after this event to make sure there aren't any more unplanned pregnancies onboard... [21:56] ::watches Savant, seemingly fascinated with her every movement and expression:: [21:56] ::chuckles:: Im sure there was some serious hell to pay in sickbay.. [21:57] ::smirks slightly and looks back at Savant:: However, things could be worse. I could find myself with the ability to turn everything I touch into gold without the power to stop it. [21:58] ::she smirked a little:: I'd rather be Icarus than Midas [21:58] ::chuckles slightly at that remark:: [21:58] ::chuckles weakly and stands:: Well...if you will all excuse me. I should return to my quarters and get some rest. ::picks up a sandwich:: Ill take this with me in case I get hungry. [21:58] get better, Lauren. get some rest. [21:58] Hence 'worse' ::smirks:: [21:58] ::chuckles along with Prescot:: I still have a hard time seeing them as parents. I mean Doc is so laid back, while Tal is always on the bleeding edge. I can't fathom how the two ended up together, much less what kind of child they'll raise ::grins:: [21:58] ::smiles at Lauren:: Hope you feel better soon. [21:58] Goodnight Lauren. Nice to meet you. [21:59] ::nods:: I will. ::smiles and nods to Zachary:: you too. ::turns and walks off:: [21:59] <> [21:59] ((night Nats)) [21:59] *** Parts: Lauren (Natty@66.81.37.167) [21:59] ::Savant exhaled a bit, her expressions surprisingly honest to her actual emotions:: I'll adjust. It's just very worrying to have no control over oneself. [22:00] Indeed ::indicates the jar of mustard:: [22:00] I'm looking forward to seeing you get some control over that. [22:00] Opposites attact right yes? Or so I heard. But yes, their child rearing abilities will probably be the focus of many studies in the future. [22:01] ::hmph and grabs an apple, taking a bite out of it:: [22:01] I'm positively terrified of gaining some control over the threads, myself. [22:01] ::grins:: To heck with studies. If the kid turns out okay, they'll found some religion over it. [22:02] ::frowns slightly at Savant's words and tucks his hands under his head, closes his eyes and lies there, listening to the conversation:: [22:02] ::considers that for a while, then responds:: Perhaps you should be more terrified of having the ability, but no control whatsoever. [22:02] ::she grinned:: I don't want to think about that. [22:05] ::smirks slightly and continues munching on the apple, his eyes drawn to the singularities:: [22:05] ::murmurs playfully to the General:: I think we're scaring the normals, Jeremy. [22:06] ::finishes her second sandwich, then pulls the flask out again and takes another large sip:: [22:07] ::shrugs slightly:: One must adjust to the reality he or she faces in order to prosper. [22:07] tsk tsk.. always so serious. [22:08] ::smiles and just enjoys the gently breeze blowing and the sound of the voices around him:: (m) It's quite nice here this evening... [22:08] ::she nodded in agreement:: [22:09] ::nods in agreement with Maiko, watching her as she pulls out a flask, not saying anything though as he refills his own drink cup and downs a bit:: [22:09] ::leans back on her hands:: Like I said, nice enough out here to make me willing to forgive this place for the events that have happened to me here. ::grin:: [22:11] ::considers Savants response as a lightly breeze ruffles the blanket and the grass:: [22:12] ::opens his eyes and sits up slowly, digs out a knife and cuts his pie, helping himself to a piece:: Don't forget about the pie. It's a special recipe of my own and I'd like your opinions. [22:12] ::grins a bit:: makes me wish that I could taste. [22:12] ::finishes his apple and tosses the core back into the basket:: [22:12] ::leans over and takes a piece of her own:: [22:13] ::smiles at Maiko and start eating, savoring the unique flavor:: [22:13] ::blinks, as though realizing something for the first time:: Does anyone else find it odd that there is no cyclical day in Xanadu? No day and night? [22:14] well.. no. But I don't suppose I would. [22:14] ::takes a bite of the pie... then another:: [22:14] ::swallows:: What kind of pie is this... it tastes... familiar. [22:15] ::She mused:: I spent most of my "childhood" quite far north on Earth, I was used to very long nights and days. ::she smiled at the memory, clearly in a nostalgic mood:: My mother would always complain about it, how the sun didn't act right. [22:15] ::thinks about it for a moment:: More time for work? Or perhaps the Jjaro didnt see it fit to give it night and day, and were too busy bending the threads to their will [22:15] It's apple pie, but it has some special spices in it. Do you like it? [22:16] Perhaps...but most humanoids operate on a work and sleep schedule that cycles with the rotation of their planet. To live, work, and sleep in full daylight would be...confusing to the body. [22:16] ::she continued, regardless of whether anyone was listening:: Heh. . . she was doing it because of how much she missed Father, I'm sure. He loved the weather and the seasons, he grew up there. He was always at Quantico base, though. [22:17] ::arches eyebrow:: I can almost taste a little Reorsan Tartberry in this.... it's actually pretty good. [22:17] ::looks around:: This light is comming from the singularities then? [22:18] ::grins at Maiko and finishes his piece:: Thanks! I'm glad you like it. [22:20] ::she exhaled and looked down:: [22:20] Stupid subroutine. [22:21] ::looks over at Savant:: what subroutine? [22:22] ::she glanced up:: hm? Oh. I recently rewrote my interaction drivers. [22:22] One of them needs some adjustment hm? [22:24] no... I was convinced to write it to automatically adjust my avatar's emotional orientation based upon my actual feelings, and not other variables. [22:24] ::finds his eyes moving from the singularities to the sole jar of mustard sitting on the edge of the blanket:: [22:24] ::looks at Savant a bit suprised but remains silent:: [22:24] I used to have my display drivers set like that all the time, but it crippled me when I was younger. [22:25] ::spots Ironside staring at a jar of mustard and shrugs:: [22:26] ::she grinned:: My behaviour has been a little unstable lately. [22:26] ::nods:: Do you know were Xanadu's light source comes from Savant? Is it from the Singularities? [22:27] The singularities emit radiation. Some of it's from within the visible spectrum, yes. [22:29] ::nods:: hmm [22:29] ::sniffs once or twice then starts gathering up what's left of his food and replacing it in the baskets:: [22:29] back to work, General? [22:30] I'm afraid so. There's still much...rearranging to be done following Stephe....Colonel Gregg's departure. [22:30] Perhaps we'll see him again. [22:31] ::puts his plate and stuff away and offers a piece of pie to Prescot:: [22:31] ::polite smile:: Perhaps. ::picks up his baskets and nods a farewell:: [22:31] ::nods at the General:: Goodday Sir [22:32] ::shakes his head no to Zachery:: thank you but no [22:32] ::disappears with his baskets:: [22:32] *** Parts: Ironside (~fdeziel@CPE00207800d5fc- CM.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) [22:32] ::she nods once at him before her departs:: [22:32] *** Joins: Obs_Santiago (breathless@C9-dhcp-20-52.resnet.ucsc.edu) [22:32] *** Maiko sets mode: +o Obs_Santiago [22:33] ::gets up and sets up the easel, setting it low enough that she can sit and comfortably paint; the canvas goes up on it, and out from the satchel comes the actual paints and brushes:: [22:34] ::stands:: I do believe I will be off as well. [22:34] ::shrugs and sets it in his basket:: Guess I'll have to take some to the mess hall some time and see if I can get opinons there. [22:34] good night, Mr Prescot. [22:35] ::nods at Prescot:: Have a good night. [22:35] And thanks for the drink. [22:35] Good Night Savant ::bows slightly too her before picking up his liquor and nodding to Zachery:: good day sir ::makes his way away from the blanket:: [22:35] *** Parts: Prescot (tr_Vekor@wa-longview7b-248.lgvwwa.adelphia.net) [22:37] You should - it's quite a good pie. ::squirts out a little of each basic color onto the pallet. [22:38] ::looks around and smiles at Maiko:: Thanks. I'll do that. What are you painting if you don't mind my asking? [22:41] ::shrugs:: I don't know. Probably the scenery. ::gestures towards where Coronado is landed:: I figure the admiral got my painting of Coronado in orbit over Reor'sa, I could give a painting of Coronado landed here in Xanadu to the Captain for his birthday [22:41] ::she smiled wanly:: I once gave the Admiral a painting for a gift. [22:42] ::nods slowly:: Sounds nice. [22:42] ::arches:: You paint Savant? [22:43] Mm, not with a canvas and oil paint, if that's what you mean. But I guess I do. [22:45] You should try it with the real thing sometime... ::takes the brush and dabs it in the pale green, then descibes broad sections of the meadow wrapping around into the sky:: [22:46] I don't know if I have enough grasp on the real world to be any good. [22:47] I tried painting once...looked like somebody threw up on the canvas. ::shakes his head:: [22:47] ::shrugs:: Sounds like my last painting. I hate it. Just looking at it throws my mind into chaos. I still keep it though... ::Dabs in the singularities:: Dunno why though. [22:48] Hmmm. Maybe it holds some signifigance for you? A memory perhaps? [22:51] I doubt it. If it's a planet, I've never been there in my entire life. [22:53] Ah, who knows? I still have a poem I wrote in the 4th grade and it's terrible! ::chuckles:: [22:54] It's probably all in my imagination to be honest. I seem to have a very active one... ::dabs in a darker green for the foreground forests off to the edge of her field of vision, bringing them closer to the ship for a better composition:: [22:55] Well, artists are supposed to have good imaginations, aren't they? ::sips more of his drink:: [22:56] ::shrugs, painting in the first blue-grey expanse of the hull:: I'm more of a realistic painter. I draw things I've seen. [23:02] ::nods and finishes his drink, drops the glass in his basket and looks at Savant:: You've grown quiet. Thinking hard about something? [23:02] ::she glances bakc at him and smiles briefly:: i'm always thinking. Don't do much else. [23:03] ::smiles:: Never do anything just for fun? [23:03] Don't worry about her, that's how she normally is. I don't think I've ever seen Savant sitting around doing nothing and NOT thinking. [23:03] ::grin:: [23:03] ::she grinned briadly:: you misinterpret. Computer rpgrams can't do much else but think. I always have fun, too [23:03] though, not a lot of fun lately, to be honest. [23:06] You think ANY of us had any fun the last few... I hestitate to call it 'days' because it might have been enough time altogether for days but it was all just one... God I hate time travel. [23:06] ::smiles a bit wanly:: All the more reason to make plans to do so when this is over. [23:07] ah, but there's no time for vacations in Flag Staff, always something to do. that's what programs are for, no? We work, so you don't have to [23:08] ::looks at Savant:: You sound like a commercial. Even Flag Staff isn't on duty 24/7. [23:09] certainly. Not all flag staff are programs, though the General may fool you sometimes. [23:09] ::grunts:: It's not easy for us bridge officers either Savant. We haven't mastered the art of reading the flag's minds so we know what they want us to do. ::grins as she paints in the nacelles:: [23:10] that's why I tend to run continually. I try to help everyone out as best I can. [23:11] ::sighs and shakes his head, then looks for a blade of grass and picks it, carefully places it between his thumbs and blows on it:: [23:12] speaking of running continually, I have to attend a meeting on Vanguard at the moment. I'll be back in a while. [23:13] ::grin:: Speaking which, do you think the next time a sphere gets in my way you could just 'nudge' the ship out of the way for me in case I'm too blindsided to notice it? ::grin:: [23:13] I wouldn't dream of getting between you and your thrusters, Maiko [23:13] ::she grinned, winked and disappeared:: [23:14] ::waves at Savant before she vanishes and blows his 'whistle' again:: [23:14] ::wry chuckle:: Riiiight. ::looks at Zachery, motioning towards her canvas, showing Coronado nestled in a small meadow surrounded by trees with Xanadu's inward-arching horizon behind her:: What do y'all think? [23:15] *** Parts: Savant (~mouse@h24-86-174-0.ed.shawcable.net) [23:16] ::studies it carefully:: Looks good. I think the Captain will like it. [23:19] Good. ::carefully puts the brushes and paint away, wiping everything clean:: I just hope he appreciates it. Poor man has been through so much in these loops. Can't be easy running things when half your officers are working for the other sides. [23:21] ::nods:: Yeah, must be tearing him up inside. Hopefully it will be over soon and we can get back to normal. [23:21] Heh. Whatever that is. [23:24] ::laughs:: Normal and Coronado don't seem to be words normally used in the same sentence without the word "not" in it. [23:26] Well, I remember taking a survey once in a bar on DS9. I asked 100 people what 'normal' was, and every single one of them had a different answer. Normal for you is not for me. We all have our own definition of what it should be.
