Alacrity, you are amazing! Taking care of yourself and your awesome kiddo are great things to seek out in life. We'll always be here. Heck if I can return, who knows what could happen next!

You are loved, and will be missed. You have a great insight and killer sense of humor. All the devil horns and roller skates for you.

Topic: Creative solution to an otherwise costly problem.
Subject: Neat!!


I had never considered this, but it's a fantastic idea!

For monsters, I also use those massive amounts of tiny toy animals you can get in the toy area of stores. Cheap, and easy to throw on the board.

If you draw maps with a wipe away pen, I hide sections with those cheap little glass beads for counters to cover sections and shove them away as people travel.

Topic: The Evil Best Left Buried
Subject: Did you see that thing?!


She had fought quite a few street brawls, having ale, dirt, fists, steel, and once a powder that made her eyes weep and gave her a cough for days. This fight was entirely different.

The cries of the pilgrims spurred her arms to spin the long swords, slamming into the first sluggish moving thing with Ol One Eye. As flesh broke open, an arrow thudded deep in its flesh near where she marked it, a gush of putrid stink assailed her. Squinting, she gulped for air, unfortunately breathing more of the horror in.

As it slid free, oddly sliding with oozelike ease..., she turned to smash through the next. She nearly screamed hearing the uttered giggles with a wet sloppy end to the noise. Its black tongue flicking as if tasting the air for prey. Needle teeth try to get a chunk of her throat, but panic and street fighting took over to bring up her pommel to help hold it back.

One hand...hand?... reared back, so slow in her eyes. Minutes seemed to tick by as claws stretched, digits itching to rip her apart. But in truth, it moved with lightening speed, coming down to rend through her forearm.

She cried out and stopped. The cry caught in her throat as a chill wormed through her flesh, holding her fast in place. Horror tickled at her thoughts, burning her eyes, as it hop-ran away and her friends crowded around. Her vision blurred, seeing Rae came into view, snapping fingers. Hammerfoot spoke nearby as if through water.

What's happening!? HELP! But she couldn't speak, only feel every joint lock up.

Subject: Quick updates


Stardate 2365.02.08
USS Peregrine; Engineering - 0910


The morn sped by far quicker than Louise expected. Meeting Dana, off to a fantastic botanical playground with a charming scientist named Horatio, and finally on the way to Engineering. Stepping into the busy chamber of engine plasma readouts, sensor arrays and reporting agents, she sought out the first person available.

A lively Lieutenant Morgan met her, the quick look at insignias, "Lieutenant,Doctor yes? Lieutenant Morgan."
Louise smiled offering a hand to shake. "The labcoat does help to know. Well met, Doctor Moorse. And yes, I am looking for Chief Thorson?"

Focusing on the doctor, she picked up a PADD tapping a check off her list. Why not just message him? "The chief is working with Lieutenant Lasad helping with the guest quarters for our diplomatic mission. He mentioned a staff meeting at 1100."

"Ah well, to the comms with me then. Some folk, especially those with recent encounters of an odd kind, tend not to see the doctor. I'm quite used to hunting them down. It's not as if I wander about with a hypospray in my pocket." She gave a warm chuckle, besides, it's clipped behind my back, where they least expect it.

"If you are needing results of those pod tests, we can provide copies to you. The science team also have looked over the pod, though it is scheduled for removal to the starbase for further testing and review." A series of beeps chimed, other engineers responding with updates.

"Thank you, I would appreciate the reports. I'll find my way on." With a curt nod shared between them, she followed her trek back to her office to finish notes, update Dana, and get a quick bite before the staff meeting.

Tapping her comm badge, she hailed for Thorson. "Chief Thorson, this is Doctor Moore. If you've a moment, I would like to schedule a bit of medical chat."

((OOC assuming some replies))

"With so many meetings and a tight schedule, how about a little later in the day?"

((OOC assuming a thumbs up))

"Until then, cheerio!"

Sick Bay/CMO office - 0920

The turbolift delivered her to the right deck, a few turns, she picked up the PADD flickering with updates and reports. "Goodness, I'll need to make it brunch today." Lifting the PADD, she reviewed the list, accepted credentials, moved crewmen. With a few quick taps, she sent the list over to PO Cook, walking into the main Sick Bay from a connecting door.

"Dana, ah excellent news, the new nurses will be arriving by 1000, which means we have quite a bit of work ahead of us. If you can meet them, corral the lot into a semblance of order that would be wonderful. I can pull together the medical records on our diplomatic guests, and have a staff meeting shortly."

((OOC assuming some responses))

"For duty rosters, I trust your judgement, and hope to keep everyone on a fair turn. Perhaps we can use the following to start, and if staff need to switch around, feel free to make note. Yeoman Toriak will work the day to day, shift, always here for any paperwork you need." She gave a smile, answering any questions the capable Head Nurse may have.
A roster and time schedule beeped to access on Dana's PADD with names, days, and shifts.

Sunday alpha: Po. Cook
Sunday beta: Cr. Patel

Monday alpha: Po. Adama
Monday beta: Cr. Patel

Tuesday alpha: Po. Cook
Tuesday beta: Po. Miraan

Wednesday alpha: Po. Adama
Wednesday beta: Cr. Reynolds

Thursday alpha: Po. Adama
Thursday beta: Cr. Reynolds

Friday alpha: Po. Miraan
Friday beta: Cr. Reynolds

Saturday Alpha: Po. Miraan
Saturday beta: Cr. Patel

"For now, I need a bite to eat and time to prep for this staff meeting. If you need me, I'll be in the office."

((OOC if anything else is needed, feel free! Louise will reply and add))

With everything handled for the moment, Louise returned to her office. "Drat, a lack of proper steeped tea. For now, you shall do. English breakfast, hot, and a scone." The replicator fired to life, leaving her a small bit of meal for the moment.

Propping her feet up on a trunk she still needed to empty, the good doctor started digging through records, medical databases, the data packets already sent to the ship, and her own stash of species physiology and pathology to begin compiling a proper medical digest on the arriving guests.

Subject: Afternoon works!


Yanamari, it would be helpful if the doc could find or contact Thorson early afternoon, after he has a chance to perform the grav modifications to the guest quarters and attend the staff meeting at 1100. Later afternoon will be meeting with Tesenblen to devise PLANTY containment.


Sounds good! Doc's not in a rush, and will need to tackle a few other items, eating and the big meeting at 1100. So in the afternoon is just fine. I can toss ya a PM for a later chat after the day is getting there. She needs to give his arm a serious look etc.

Besides could write some middle fluff bits with the Diplomat contacts and what not.

Subject: The garden...is going to eat us


Through the conversation, she continued and finished her doctorly duties checking over a bump. Her fingers sought the bump from his altercation with a cabinet, then fell away assured it was nothing more than a minor scrape and cost of being tall. With a pat on his shoulder, she gave him her own clean bill of health.

And then spoke, longer, deeper of his plans and dreams of a garden vision. The longer Horatio spoke, the more her brows rose. Not so much in fear and outrage that everything around her was a killing plant...and hopefully none with sentience. Her thoughts kept wandering about the same lines of diplomats, dangerous flora, how intrepid this scientist was, and that he had to have excellent contacts perhaps even akin interests to her own if in a different vein.

As he finished, brighter eyed than before, she could only marvel at his planning tempering the far reaching goals. Her eyes shone in response, the brown kindled warmer, fingers on his shoulder a little longer perhaps than necessary.

"I concur with you on the uses of studying such dangerous plants, toxins often becoming a life saving means of finding cures. There have been many such cases, especially with medical practices and devices, treatments and medicinals we come across from other systems and species. Perhaps at some juncture, we can do more than merely trade notes. Yes...far more." She shook her head as limitless possibilities and his enthusiasm certainly would take her down other paths, and not to the needs at hand this very busy day. "But all the same, I'll pull together some medical procedures and have some kits prepped for this lab, in sick bay for transporting anyone afflicted during tests, and review regulations we can have everyone abide by. And I welcome your own in return for Sick Bay. Scientists in arms."

As to the diplomats and need of enhanced security, they likewise met eye to eye on that effort. Her thoughts wandered a bit into lists of things to complete, medical records top review, and making a few requests of her own with the two diplomats' staff.

"Dr. Moore, it has been absolutely wonderful to meet you. I have every intention of taking you up on your offer for tea, but for now, the urgent business of the diplomats forces me to seek protection for the Garden. If you'll excuse me."

She blinked and slid her hands back into her pockets then, giving a nod and charming smile. "Of course, Horatio, I would love to chat further and enjoy a spot of tea. I've enjoyed our talk, and look forward to reviewing any reports you may have in progress? Oh, and any reports on the odd pod you encountered. Send them by when you have a spare moment, and we can give each other a bell. Cheerio!"

She ducked away, mind a twittered with the possibilities, medically good and frightening. If everyone keeps to protocols, perhaps review our team's records for anyone with historical work with labwork, hmm Bachmann. Might be a good time to chat with him as well.

The good doctor wandered from Science Lab 2, scanning through her PADD for updates and to make a few notes.

((Edited a bit since I wrote it in a rush earlier.))
"Ah Thorson. Need to find that gent. Off to Engineering it is."

Subject: Oh my stars and garters...


((OOC feel free to add snippets where ever Horatio would have responses, tossed in a couple breaks that seem obvious for reply))

Louise watched the scientist as he gave such enthusiasm to his words over smacking his head and studying flora and fauna. If I didn't know better, I would say he may have sniffed a bit too much of something, those pupils are dialating... wait...no that seems normal enough. His excitement is rather charming.

As he pointed to the offending corner and low hanging cabinet, she walked closer pulling free her hands from the coat. "...when I discovered that datura stramonium actually exhibits a higher form of coriaceousness than those in the genus, which I'm hoping to leverage into cross breeding of new species in order to possibly, with hope, one day leverage a new species, capable of sustaining a photosynthetic cycle in a lower oxygen-"

As he stopped she peered up the scientist, brows furrowing at the Latin name. "...Ah, apologies, I got distracted. As I was saying, in my jubilation, I jumped, literally and figuratively, for joy and collided with the cabinet. I feel significantly better today, after a good night's sleep."

She gave a light chuckle, tilting her chin again then motioning him over to a chair to settle in. "I will admit a failing to any depth of horticulture knowledge. Not that I don't have an interest, mind you, but simply been delving into pathology of viruses and diseases in otherworldly species. Best to know how they react to something we've built an immunity over the centuries to and what not. Datura stramonium...hmmm..." She thought on the name, the vague memory of trumpet shaped white blooms, the pinnate leaves, mother smacking her hands when prodding about their garden back home. "Hell's bells!" The exclamation to others might have been odd, but it was the name she knew them by back on earth. "You know, these are fantastic for asthma, though with an off side effect. My my, you may have quite a few medicinal herbs here. Seems we'll need to schedule a weekly tea chat!"

"My hope, dear Horatio, is to share data, help with investigations between our offices, and to get to know each other."

"Of course, Doctor Moore, my facilities, data, and crew are available as needed to you and your team. I believe science and medical should be on the best of terms. Speaking of, there was something the Captain wanted me to discuss with you."

She tried to get him to settle in the seat for a better look at his noggin, motioning with hands while he spoke, until the last. "Oh? I imagine there may be a fair few things he might need. Whatever is this special request?" She smiled then blinked at his response.

"Well, as I mentioned earlier, I'm preparing for a new project. As it happens, I've been given permission to grow aconitum lycoctonum..."

She held her breath and looked around the lab then suddenly then back to Horatio mouthing the name as he said it. "Wolfsbane. Given the sheer danger of such a beast, I was asked to speak with you about potential protocols to avoid mishaps and, should the incident occur, solutions to problems. I can prepare solutions for accidental physical contact with the specimen, but I struggle with ways to cure the effects of the neurotoxin on the body, and given the profundity of the symptoms, I believe it's critical to my research that we agree on something together."

((OOC feel free to add anything ya like))

She took a moment to take stock of the lab, the care he took with each bloom and tendril, and the discussion of precautions at the forefront of his request. "Protocols indeed. Where ever did you found such an herb so far from home... Is it truly an earth species? Does it show forms of tampering or..." she waved her hand a bit, starting to fall a bit out of her depth, "genetic changes?"

((OOC feel free to add!))

She took a moment to think on the uses and needs of such an herb, how other species would react. She crossed her arms, raising a hands to tap her thumb against her lips as she focused. "I am sure you are taking precautions, and advise only allowing staff capable of such handling near it or even in acknowledgement of it. What a wonder and find, not that I am so terribly versed, but quickly finding myself intrigued to study up." She smiled looking back to the chief, catching those green eyes of his again. "Have you started experiments, how long have you had this specimen, and have any others in your department started working on it?"

((OOC add content away!!))

The thought of experimentation made her wonder all over again of how species would interact and react to different stimuli, including such a plant. She reached out to touch his shoulder then, a flash in those brown eyes.

"You know, we really should make sure security protocols for access of your records is also on alert. We have diplomats of two races on board that we have little information on currently. I planned on a quick bio scan and discussion with the contingents aids. But from a preliminary, they seem rather close to our own systems. While a Vulcan might simply become painfully sick from the herb, it's possible...they would have an adverse reaction or even...well, yes, best we make sure this specimen of yours is very carefully handled..."

Last thing we need is assassination attempts or worse using a dangerous poisonous herb from our own stores!

Stardate 2365.02.08
USS Peregrine - The Garden 0853


Far from a British garden and yet she could not help but think of home being around the green glow of light filtering through leaves, tied stems, mixes of dangerous and lovely. She leaned inward, hands in pockets, just as a gentleman bald with eyes as green as his plants came around.

"Good morning, mad-uhhh, mis-..um, ma'am... how may I be of assistance?"

She gave a smile so warm and broad laugh lines deepened and a dimple or two showed. With that genteel British way, she didn't point out the stuttering. "Good morn! I believe you may be who I'm searching for. I'm Louise Moore, the new doctor on staff."

"Ah, it's wonderful to meet you. I'm Horatio. What brings you to my lovely slice of paradise?" He waved an arm about to encompass the lab.

She came up to offer a hand in greeting, taking his with a firm grip if offered back. "I must say, if I had a garden to while away, I certainly would, though with a pot of tea and a medical journal. Ah, yes, Horatio," she let the name roll about heavily with an accent, "I hope you don't mind a little chat? Unless you are terribly busy?" What a nice name that. Horatio.

((OOC responses and the like))

"Seems the ship has been busy as well, with a strange pod brought on board and an energy pulse recorded, diplomats on the way, and if recent records are right, a slight bump to the head?" She tilted her chin, giving him a sideways look as if expecting a bit of information on how he was feeling.

"My hope, dear Horatio, is to share data, help with investigations between our offices, and to get to know each other."
