The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 63

<DeathStar> 6.30.5990 CE
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius, Nearing the Meeting Point
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> ... ... ...
<DeathStar> 6* The group, having decided to go to the meeting point, flies with all their sensors open so they do not get caught
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead is the giant sized Empress ship, massive in it's size and scope
<Kaelan> * Cookie is sullen, but piloting.
<Sara> * Erica is in her chair of course, looking at Saoirse
<DeathStar> <Computer Cam> *Her voice, disapproving, speaks* No hails yet.
<Sara> <Erica> Thank you, Cam.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty closes her eyes in Fort KickAss listening to music with her kitties and teenie aurit friends
<DeathStar> (this is before that)
<DeathStar> 6* The Aquarius keeps getting closer to the giant ship
<Chainy> (then kitty listens to jams
<Kaelan> * Cookie slow them down a little.
<DeathStar> 6* As the ship gets very close, at that moment their warning system goes off as 10 Erusian and Tsivrixsh ship make perfectly timed and precise jumps behind them, covering any escape route without a firefight
<Jackieness> <Airym> *steps on to the bridge and moves to a science station*
<Kaelan> * Cookie slows them to a near stop.
<Sara> * Erica sighs.
<Sara> <Erica> Well. They certainly aren't being nice about it, are they.
<DeathStar> <Computer Cam> We are finally being hailed
<Sara> <Erica> On screen.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav appears on screen. She is not happy. In fact she is working to keep anger out of her voice and face. She sits in her chair peering at them. "So you actually had the honor to come instead of running for it. A wise decision."
<DeathStar> 6* Who knows what other future they might have had if they didn't come.
<Sara> <Erica> Of course we did. *she looks regretful, frowning*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Captain, I ask that you and your top officers come over to my ship for judgement. If you do so, your remaining crew will be spared. You have my owrd
<Kaelan> * Cookie gulps.
<Sara> <Erica> Very well... *she stands*
<DeathStar> 6* The view screen shuts down and a part of the Empress' ship shuts it's shield down for them to come over.
<DeathStar> <Computer Cam> We have an opening for attack if you wish
<Sara> * Erica shakes her head, not wishing to create a time paradox
<Sara> * Erica sends a message to her officers, gesturing to Saoirse, Cookie, Kaylin, etc to follow her to be transported
<Sara> * Heading to the transporter
<Kaelan> * Cookie gets up and fixes her doctor's coat, following her over.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Do you wish me to accompany you, captain?"
<Sara> <Erica> Yes, please.
<Sara> * Erica soon stands with whoever comes with her in the transporter room, giving the signal to transport
<Jackieness> <Airym> *goes with the group*
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will follow silently with her tactical gear on.
<Myaomi> * Saoirse walks alongside Erica, actually looking seethingly pissed.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon they all find themselves in the chamber before the Empress Shetrav, her red eyes glowing angerily, blue skin flushed a bit. Kre'trav stands to the side with them, perhaps acting on their behalf. The room has about five other Tsivrixsh and two Erusians
<Sara> * Erica bows as respectfully as she can.
<DeathStar> <Shetrav> *Glances at her generals in the room, then back* My generals wanted me to do the dishonorable thing of destroying you if you showed. I stated I would not do that, only if you went for the gate.
<Myaomi> * Saoirse stands completely still, neither bowing nor being any more obstinant than her anger.
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> I see who the actual warrior is, then.
<DeathStar> 6* The generals eye Sao, remembering this
<DeathStar> 6* Shetrav peers at Sao, then continues
<Sara> <Erica> <Saoir, do remember why we came here... not that I'm happy either, but...>
<Kaelan> * Cookie remains quiet.
<DeathStar> <Shetrav> My granddaughter has been your biggest champion, telling me you would be ignorant of what you caused to happen. *she walks slowly down* When you ran from us before you had excuses. Now there will be no more running. I will know why you unleashed death on us all.
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> ... Eri
<Kaelan> Cookie> "They didn't know, they had no idea why their ancestors left. What we found on the way still didn't prepare us for what we found." *she says softly*
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> We were talking the other day and it sounded like fun, right? I mean death is overrated
<Sara> * Erica raises an eyebrow
<Sara> <Erica> Our mission was to find out what had happened to the homeworld. We had no idea, and we certainly did not want to unleash anything. I regret it, now that we know what is happening. *she says, her head hung regretfully*
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav peers at Sao, then turns away
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I see. Granddaughter, your choice of character is flawed. They would rather be flippant
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I am done here. Take them away.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav moves to go
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> Where we're from we know jack and shit about this homeworld any longer. That's WHY we're here.
<Kaelan> Cookie> "Forgive us, Sao is generally like this..."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tilts her head to the side*
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> That jack and shit applies to whatever you guys had caged there. Maybe a note on the door would be in order next time. We can't do shit about opening something when we don't know what's inside besides our original home. But what we can do is what we CAN do to fix it. Mind giving us a clue?
<Sara> * Erica cringes.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav looks at Sao, then gestures and Tsivrixsh guards surround them and drag them off
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Captain, I have noted a correlation with Saoirse speaking and the situation becoming worse."
<DeathStar> 6* The group ends thrown up in a cell with barriers up
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> But if you want to kill us for something we were never given a chance to learn about, well fucking whatever. But I am willing to get my hands dirty for my own mistakes.
<Sara> * Erica sighs as she sits in the cell. <Well. Now we're in jail.>
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The current situation supports my previous assertion."
<Kaelan> * Cookie sits quietly, stewing.
<Stretch> 6Kaylin is silent and stoic throughout this entire escapade, there being no actual threat having been levied against the crew or ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav sighs, while Shretrav talks in Erusian with her, clearly not impressed with the character of these people
<Kaelan> Cookie> <Erica. You need to get Sao under control. You're the captain, yet you're regularly letting her take actions that cause us trouble. You should have been speaking, not her.>
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav soon goes on the ship, moving to talk to the crew about what happened to their captain and finding out what they want to do since they promised no harm to them. She studies all the cats
<DeathStar> <Computer Cam> I know I wouldn't mind being repaired!
<Sara> <Erica> <I don't recall asking for your opinion. Especially not in my head.>
<Chainy> 6*Kitty greets her and deadpans at the info
<Chainy> <Kitty> of course it escalated...
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> *she nods to Kitty* I had hoped for a better outcome. I know grandmother might have changed her ruling if she knew that they knew nothing. But once they became combatative she had no choice. Plus I think she was truly angry
<Stretch> 6Mauser lounges on the counter of the armory, staring at anyone who enters like they're an intruder.
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> After all, there have already been distortions
<Chainy> <Kitty> I suppose a private one on one meeting with myself would be out of the question
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> You are a senior officer too?
<Kaelan> Cookie> Then I'll talk out loud.
<Sara> * Erica sits patiently in her cell, eyes closed
<Chainy> <Kitty> yes but at times like I'm just furniture until something bad happens
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I wonder if we are being listened to." *looks around the cell*
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will study the layout of her own cell, testing the apparent strength of the walls and doors for any signs of weakness.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards nearby eye them, as if they are waitingf for an excuse to bash heads. T hey seem to lack a universal translator
<DeathStar> 6* No budging. The cells are superior stuff
<Kaelan> Cookie> "Maybe."
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> I will see if she will listen to you and get on repairs. I suppose after relocating the crew the ship will be pressed into service
<DeathStar> 6* She steps out
<Chainy> 6*Kitty sighs and goes to get ready
<Jackieness> <Airym> *switches to Erusian* "Am I understood?"
<Kaelan> * Cookie closes her eyes now, looking like she's trying to quell anger, which anyone close to her would actually feel wafting off her right now.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh Guard> *snorts* Be quiet
<Kaelan> Cookie> "Kaylin, sit and wait."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Of course" *switches to Tsivirxsh* "This would be your proper tongue."
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav works for a one on one meeting without the generals
<DeathStar> *The guards eye Airym this time*
<Chainy> 6*Kitty gets her cats ready too since they all seem to obey her it might help her legitamacy as being able to hold her own a little
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will look to Cookie and nod once, moving over to sit next to her; 14"I could blow one of the walls out, but it could cause injuries..."
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, Shretrav relents, only to shut her granddaughter to shut up on the matter. The cats mewl and follow Kitty as a steward leads her into the Empress' private room, where Kre'trav waits beside Shretrav
<Chainy> 6*Kitty is dressed in her officers uniform and bows, knowing her cats will mimic
<Sara> <Erica> You CAN'T be serious.
<Sara> <Erica> We came here with peaceful intentions, Kaylin. If you do something like that I will have you highly reprimanded, I assure you.
<Kaelan> Cookie> *to Erica* <You may hate me talking in your head, but with them listening, it's the best option, that's why I use it. Our next talk, you need to either have Sao apologetic or quiet. Tsivrixsh and Erusians don't respond positively to her choice of dialogue. You can be proud, you can't be confrontational. It's a challenge to their honor and they're pretty much forced to destroy you.>
<Chainy> <Kitty> I apologize for the circumstances that have lead to this meeting
<Kaelan> Cookie> "Kaylin. No."
<Sara> <Erica> <Do not order me around.>
<Kaelan> Cookie> <I'm not ordering you around.>
<Sara> <Erica> <Then give me the advice when I ask for it, not when I'm sitting here in shame after already having tried.>
<Jackieness> <Airym> *still in Tsiv* "I must apologize to you warriors for the trouble that was caused by that one over there. She is mentally ill."
<Chainy> 6*Kitty waits till she's told to rise
<Stretch> Kaylin> 14"Simply stating my observations Captain, I will take no actions unless directed..."
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh Guard> She must be to talk to the Empress like that. Any in the Empire would kill her for the Empress' honor
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Please rise.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty rises and looks into Shretrav's eyes
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at the strange cat creatures curiously as they rise too, then looks at Kitty. "I take it you are the second in command?"
<Kaelan> Cookie> <Stop dwelling on what went wrong and think about what you need to do next. Don't act like I'm attacking you. I'm respecting your position by talking to you. As the Captain. A good leader actually looks for the advice of her crew, she doens't tell them NOT to give them advice, especially when they have intel they could use. I try to be good, I try to be quiet, but this situation is
<Kaelan> getting steadily worse because the only voice you're listening to is the one that landed us in jail.>
<Chainy> <Kitty> I am here to properly explain the situation as we understand it and hopefully take my captain and crew back into my custody
<Chainy> 6*Kitty nods
<Kaelan> * Cookie seems to be digging her fingernails into her hands. A lot of upset since Yuki was gone, and the chances of her ever seeing her again getting less and less by the minute.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *still in Tsiv* "And understandably so. As I stated, she is mentally ill."
<Chainy> <Kitty> Yes your grace
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> The Captain seemed to be reasonable. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for her crew
<DeathStar> 6* she eyes her granddaughter
<Sara> <Erica> <You are talking to me as one would when scolding a child, and I must point out that while you did not hear it, I DID tell her to remember why we came here. Please stop trying my patience right now.>
<Chainy> <Kitty> she is a good captain, she is eager to do her best and please others, which sometimes leads to difficult situations like the one we have found ourselves in
<Sara> <Erica> <I am well aware of any problems and I already -try-. That is enough now, Cookie.>
<DeathStar> *The guards joke* <Guard> Before the Erusians, we used to just bash our mentally ill in the head. Want us to take her out back?
<Jackieness> <Airym> *in Tsiv* "Tempting, but I do not think my captain would be happy with me if I said 'yes'."
<Kaelan> * Cookie takes a deep breath. <Try harder. Please. I'm not scolding you.> *she opens Erica to feel her desperation* <...I'm begging you.>
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I wanted to hear from her mouth the reason you all broke the barrier and why you went to the homeworld in her words. My granddaughter already told me in her words what the captain said and was ready to testify. Before I was verbally attacked
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> And the situation made light of - millions may die before this is done
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Shretrav knew about them wanting knowledge already
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will look to Cookie, reaching over tenatively to gently touch at the hand that she's digging her nails into; 14"Cookie?"
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I still do not know how you even broke the barrier
<Kaelan> * Cookie blinks and doens't notice at first, she seems lost at that moment. She blinks and slowly looks at Kaylin.
<Chainy> <Kitty> I understand the graveness of the situation, it is not to be trivialized and I cannot begin or apologize enough for the actions of my crew to upset you so
<Chainy> <Kitty> I will do my best to inform you as best I can your grace
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Very well. Walk me through it
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Stretch> 6Kaylin is looking at the trickles of blood coming from her hand; 14"you're hurt..."
<DeathStar> 6* A day passes in the jail, with the guards barking jokes with Airym before Shretrav appears with Kre'trav and Kitty
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Release them
<DeathStar> 6* The guards jump up and obey without question
* Stretch is now known as Stretch`PC
* Stretch has joined #Duality
<Kaelan> * Cookie doesn't look like she's slept, but her hands have healed up.
<Chainy> <Kitty> thank you for your unending kindness
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> As your enthusastic comrade said earlier, and Kitty and I have spoken about, we have come to an agreement you will be staying here in the Alpha Quadrant, Captain
<Stretch> 6Kaylin would have stayed awake throughout the night as well, staying in sentry mode it seems, watching the others and making sure they were safe.
<DeathStar> 6* She motions them to follow her. "To help stop what you have begun inadvertantly."
<Sara> <Erica> I am willing... *she follows, looking miserable*
<Chainy> 6*Kitty offers Erica an arm
<Kaelan> * Cookie walks with them, quiet as a mouse now, even mentally. Her eyes however seem fixated on Sao as they go.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Your ship is being repaired and I will help fill your crew compliment. I will also give your ship new weaponry to combat the disruptions in space.
<Sara> * Erica accepts it
<Chainy> 6*Kitty helps Erica walk behind Shretrav
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> And journeying with you will be Kre'trav, since she defended you so heavily. 6* Kre'trav bows meekly
<Sara> <Erica> I honestly never meant for this to happen. I mean that. When we went down to the planet's surface we used our ship's spirit engine to warp us through the barrier... but we were unable to do so to get out...
<Chainy> <Kitty> you are most generous
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will follow along beside Cookie, watching over the others.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *switches to Erusian* "Thank you."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> For now, you can rest on your ship or mine for a week while it takes to upgrade the ship. After a Kre'trav feels you have done enough, she will let mek now and you can leave.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> And I believe you, Captain
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Your second in command here explained it all
<DeathStar> 6* She nods to Kitty
<DeathStar> 6* She stops in front of the extention to their ship, where the hull repairs are almost done and weapons are being outfitted
<Chainy> 6*Kitty bows her head
<Chainy> <Kitty> please feel free to call upon me at your disgression
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I will let you go back to your ship and talk amongst yourselves without fear of us listening in. Kre'trav will go first and the crew a few days later.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav actually bows to them
<Kaelan> * Cookie doesn't shift her gaze from Sao for the moment.
<Sara> * Erica blinks at that. "O-Okay."
<DeathStar> 6* Then nods to Kitty, offering her a smile
<DeathStar> 6* She moves off, her gowns flowing
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> Guess I was demoted.
<Sara> * Erica considers the fact that Kitty has apparently told the Empress that she's second-in-command
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav stands there meekly, not sure if she will be assigned good quarters, wondering if she will be hated for getting them stuck there for 3 months
<Chainy> 6*Kitty closes her eyes and sighs as she turns to Erica
<Chainy> <Kitty> lets get you back to the ship
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> you need a room, right?" She eyes Kre'Trav.
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> Sorry you're stuck with us, I guess.
<Kaelan> * Cookie sems to move forward and stop a moment when Sao speaks, like she was going to do something, but Sao's words seem to make her stop. She steps back again. Watching. It could be that she's just twitchy from not sleeping or something.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty gestures for her cats to carry them back as she walks
<DeathStar> 6* The kitties move along down the connection between the ships - nice Erusian music playing in the hallway
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will watch quietly, moving along with them under her own power.
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav nods as she walks along
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> Some of the crew quarters were emptied when we lost them on the way to this quadrant. We'll get you set up with one of those seeing as you're obviously high ranking.
<Myaomi> * Saoirse heads back to the ship, using her height to walk a little faster than most, quiet after that.
<Chainy> <Kitty> I will speak to you in your quarters when we have arrived Captain 6*its not a question
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Thank you. I will try not to get in the way of your ship, Captain. I am merely here to be a connection between orders from grandmother and the erusian crew on the ship
<Kaelan> * Cookie walks along, taking a breath for the moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav once on the ship pauses as Cam sighs happily at the hull being fixed, like a slight moan - probably having been hurt this entire time
<Sara> <Erica> Of course. You will be treated as well as I can manage.
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav bows
<Sara> <Erica> I'm sorry for all the trouble we have been. *she bows right back*
<DeathStar> <KRe'trav> I am glad you are all okay. I did not want anything bad to happen to good people
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> I know you are honorable and simply wanted to know the truth of your past
<DeathStar> 6* She moves to find her room
<Kaelan> * Cookie looks at Sao, then Erica, she waves gently to Kre'trav, then moves for Yuki's room.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty bows before helping Erica to her room
<Chainy> <Kitty> I will not ask forgiveness for pretending to be second in command but given the situation that Kre informed me about, what else could I do
<Sara> <Erica> I understand. I do appreciate your help, I promise you that.
<Chainy> <Kitty> I know Sao is important to you, but you need to consider the mission and the situation we are all in.
<Chainy> <Kitty> you may be captain but that doesnt mean it cant be removed from you
<Chainy> <Kitty> and if you dont want any dissent, I think you will need to think long and hard Captain
<Sara> <Erica> ...That sounds a bit like a threat.
<Kaelan> * Cookie sits in Yuki's room, totally not listening at the conversation in the next room, she lays back on the bed and stares upwards. She pulls a small rubber ball out of subspace and tosses it up and down, holding out her hand as if to TK catch it, but of course never actually succeeding.
<Chainy> <Kitty> its no threat, just advice
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tilts her head and starts walking*
<Chainy> <Kitty> youre a good captain, and I have no desire to see you usurped
<Sara> * Erica gives a slight nod
<Chainy> 6*Kitty eases Erica onto her bed
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will return to the Armory, dropping her gear there and trying to relax a bit.
<Chainy> <Kitty> for now, just rest and give it all some thought
<Sara> * Erica frowns
<Chainy> 6*Kitty bows and takes her leave
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Kaelan> Cookie> "That's the only way to be..."
<DeathStar> 1 month later.
<DeathStar> 7.24.5990
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav relaxes on the bridge with Erusian tea as they fly - the last month having gone fairly well with the two crews jelling okay
<Chainy> 6*Kitty sips on some as well
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> We have been doing a lot of good lately, haven't we?
<DeathStar> *She seems much more relaxed and cheerful than a month ago when she was meek and skiddish around the others*
<Kaelan> * Cookie has continued to not be her bouncy self much anymore. But performs her jobs efficiently. She sits at the pilot's seat, tossing her ball up and down.
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah... I still have things to do back home, but I didn't want it to turn out like it did, after all.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty nods lightly placing her cup down in the saucer1
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> I am sorry...*she peers down, some bounciness gone*
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> It must be insufferible being out there
<Sara> <Erica> Relax. I'm happy to be helping.
<Sara> <Erica> And this is a mess we unfortunately, inadvertently helped make...
<Sara> <Erica> It's the least we can do.
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will be sitting at the weapons console, monitoring the systems.
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> Not really." She murmurs to Kre'trav, entering the bridge in some boxing shorts and a tank, a towel over her head to her shoulders.
<Sara> * Erica squints at Saoirse.
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> *smiles, relaxing* Perhaps we should have a par--
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav peers back at Sao, flustering slightly, turning around all politely
<Chainy> 6*Kitty raises a brow
<Chainy> <Kitty> a party my lady?
<Kaelan> * Cookie sighs a bit and keeps looking away, out at the stars.
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> I'm sure if we hadn't screwed it up, this place was pretty nice.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty will remember that
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> Anyway, I'm resigning.
<Sara> <Erica> What.
<Myaomi> * Saoirse holds up a hand in a wave and heads back out.
<Sara> <Erica> ...........
<Sara> * Erica lets out a huge sigh and leans back in her chair, closing her eyes tight
<Chainy> 6*Kitty clears her throat
<Jackieness> <Airym> *works in her research area*
<Chainy> <Kitty> Captain, may I ask for leave with Cookie and Lady Kre'trav to ask her grandmother about this party idea
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, whatever...
<Chainy> <Kitty> it will mean youre alone with your affairs for a while
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> ... *she looks utterly baffled at what happened*
<Chainy> 6*Kitty rises
<Chainy> <Kitty> shall we?
<Kaelan> * Cookie gets up, glad for the excuse to leave and moves over to Kitty. "Sure."
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will just watch the weapons systems, letting them do as they need or want to.
<Sara> * Erica wipes her eyes and moves to the pilot seat for now
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> MY grandmother? I-I suppose we can. Can your shuttles do hyperspace?
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav lets herself be dragged off
<Chainy> 6*Kitty escorts Kre'trav, Cookie and her cats off
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP SINCE GOING TO GRANDMA's HOUSE TAKES TIME-
<DeathStar> 6* The Empress is currently on the Erusian homeworld, plotting out the fleet to deal with possible distortions and whatnot
<Chainy> 6*Kitty sighs
<Chainy> <Kitty> I hope Erica can get everything settled while we're away
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav moves along the flowers. "When I said party, I meant on the ship you know."
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav walks down to greet them. "Why are you all here?"
<Kaelan> * Cookie bows respectfully.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty bows as well
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav bows to her grandmother
<Chainy> <Kitty> Kre'trav made a suggestion towards a party and I felt it would be nice to visit and perhaps make a few purchases while we were here for the party
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> A party. I suppose you all have been working hard, especially the Captain
<Chainy> 6*Kitty nods
<DeathStar> 6* She walks along, hands behind her back.
<Chainy> <Kitty> a party would certainly raise moral on the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav nods. "I wanted to introduce a mixture of Erusian and their culture together in a mixed party."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> *muses, then nods* Of course. Leave it to me
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* A week later, on the Aquarius, Erusian dancers dance to classical music, up against the Kumen music and their type of dancers, filled with a mixture of food and drink from both cultures
<DeathStar> 6* Both crews on board. This still in August, a good many weeks before the Cartel mission
<Chainy> 6*Kitty smiles a little
<Kaelan> * Cookie cheered up a little, as she flooded the party with cookies for everyone to eat. Everyone gets to sample Cookie's Cookies.
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav moves to the beat as she eats chips and drinks some Erusian hard tea
<Chainy> <Kitty> this really was a good idea, you made some good calls there Cookie
<Jackieness> <Airym> *walks around the party, inspecting things*
<Chainy> 6*Kitty wiggles a little to the music
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will sample the cookies, not really listening to the music or watching the dancers.
<DeathStar> 6* Spirit Cam works with Lam'fee, who is not torturing Erica in fox form right now, on the bridge
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav moves her body to the beat, smiling
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Erusians are natural dancers you know
<Kaelan> * Cookie blushes a bit. "Thanks..."
<Chainy> <Kitty> so I see
<Chainy> 6*Kitty takes Kre'trav's hand and dances with her
<Jackieness> <Airym> "And singers."
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav blinks but moves with her, moving to the beat well and spinning, smiling
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will look to Cookie; 14"you're blushing again..."
<Chainy> 6*Kitty smiles as well trying to keep up with her
<Kaelan> Cookie> "H-Huh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav seems more classically trained but she matches the Kumen techno beat easily after a bit, grinding against Kitty a little and smiling, her reddish eyes gleaming playfully as they dance
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> You are very good, Kitty
<DeathStar> 6* Yukiclaws climbs on Erica and mewls, gnawing
<Chainy> <Kitty> thanks, have you listen to earth music before?
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will point to Cookie's cheecks, a cookie held between a couple of fingers; 14"your cheeks are blushed again...I still don't understand why."
<Myaomi> * Saoirse sits at one of the bars, sampling their alcohol.
<Sara> * Erica gently pets Yukiclaws, having been missing her usual smile
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> No, our people found the Terran Empire's music distasteful after the fall. Though this music playing sounds invigorating. *referring to the Kumen music*
<Chainy> 6*Kitty nods but keeps dancing, not wanting to make a mistep
<Chainy> <Kitty> its quite similar to the Kumen music
<Kaelan> Cookie> "Umm.. shyness."
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will munch on the cookie, though its apparent she doesn't quite understand.
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> I see. Perhaps I shall listen then
<Chainy> <Kitty> I'll play some for you
<Chainy> 6*Kitty dips Kre'trav
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav blinks then laughs in delight
<Chainy> 6*Kitty laughs and rights her with a spin
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Interesting moves. I shall get us more drinks
<DeathStar> 6* She smiles, moving to the bar and pats Saoirise
<Chainy> 6*Kitty nods, dancing with some of the cats
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Sao. You should not quit. You are very important to the Captain you know. And the last month you have done well.
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Things are not the same now. Neither of you are happy
<DeathStar> *She pours the drinks for Kitty and herself*
<Myaomi> <Saoirse> Being 'important to the captain' doesn't have anything to being a chief officer.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves behind the bar* "I have records on numerous drinks from various civilizations."
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> I see. *she thinks* Then I will teach you diplomacy
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> And other things I know
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Granted I don't know everything but I can do what I know
<DeathStar> <KRe'trav> Then please, Airym, get Kitty another drink from another civilization and me another tea from one
<Kaelan> Cookie> "I"ll try to explain later."
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will nod, munching away at the cookie; 14"these are good...different from brownies, but still."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tilts her head to the side and then puts together two cocktails* "I have approximated a cocktail from the pre-Progenitor Erusian homeworld. The other is a signature drink from a Cartel pleasure world."
<Kaelan> Cookie> "They are my secret recipe."
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Thank you. And I will see you tomorrow, Sao
<DeathStar> 6* She goes back to partying, giving Kitty her drinks
<Chainy> 6*Kitty thanks her and sips
<DeathStar> -END for now-
