Subject: Hello?
Didn't you read that last post?
One of these days... I'm gonna play a character that doesn't stand in front of the on-coming train and go; "Oh yeah? I dare ya ta push me! I double dog dare ya!"
Wonder if there's a future in playing a brick in some Inn?

Topic: Star Trek: Operation Persephone
Subject: Launch... Part I
Stardate: 2374.09.03
USS Cerberus - Captain’s Ready Room – 0410 hours
MacTavish stood in the darkness, nursing a second cup of coffee as he studied the activity beyond the office’s window. The battalions of workbees and shuttlecraft that had been ever present around the Cerberus for the past few days had diminished to but a handful, now. Those few that still tended the starship were tasked with ferrying personnel between the Steamrunner and Starbase 10 or were in the process of transitioning the ship’s crucial systems from their supplemental draws from the spacedock to full self-reliance. He had heard the computer react when the life-support umbilical had been detached and the shipboard systems ramped up to compensate and, almost immediately following that, heard the door to his Ready Room whisk open accompanied by Weatherly’s surprised gasp.
“G’marnin’, Weatherly,” he rumbled, not bothering to look over his shoulder at the Yeoman, “Yer a wee bit onna early side, are ye no’?”
“Good morning, Captain,” came the reply, “A little early, I suppose, sir. I had hoped to prep the Ready Room for our departure befre you arrived but…”
Mac stood, still watching the activity beyond Cerberus’ hull, and waited for the Petty Officer to continue. When, after a long, silent moment, the young woman still hadn’t said anything, Mac turned to face her. The look on her face belied the struggle she was having with finding the appropriate words to finish her thought. “But?” Mac prodded, following a sip of his coffee.
“Permission to speak freely, sir?”
“Aye.”
His acquiescence to her request hadn’t seemed to make much difference in her demeanor, she still had the look of an NCO who knew that whatever comments she wanted to make would likely be considered inappropriate when directed at a commissioned officer, but there had been a hint of… Wha’? Consairn? Och! …in Weahterly’s eyes just before she mustered the courage to speak her mind.
“Sir,” the yeoman beagn tentatively, pausing briefly to lay her ever-present PADD on the edge of the Captain’s desk, “have you even seen your quarters since you came aboard?”
“I’ve passed ‘em by a time er two, lass,” he nodded, “aye.”
Weatherly heaved an exasperated sigh; “What I meant, sir, is have you slept in your quarters or so much as unpacked since you boarded? According to the computer, the only person to have accessed your quarters since your arrival has been me and that was thirty-six hours ago or better.
You know, sir, as your yeoman, I have access to your medical records and Dr Hash’s last report was…”
“Ye c’n belay tha’ shyte, Weahterly,” Mac interrupted, stepping away from the window, at last, and unceremoniously plunking his mug down on the desk, “Until yer name’s Chantelle er ye’ve go’ th’ pips on yer collar ta trump th’ ones on me own, ye need no’ consairn yerself wi’ where I may be catchin’ me winks. We clear onnat, lass?
There’s more ta trouble yerself wi’ than worryin’ aboot where an’ when th’ Ol’ Man might be sleepin’, Weatherly, but, if et makes ye feel any th’ better aboot et, I’ll be sure ta visit me rooms ere th’ cruise es done, aye?”
“Aye, sir,” the yeoman responded, “but Dr Hash’s report…”
“Weahterly!” Mac barked, shooting her a look that said letting the topic go would be well advised as he lifted her PADD from his desk.
“Aye, sir. Shutting up, sir.”
“Grand,” he muttered. His eyes skimmed the information on the data tablet as he stepped towards the replicator. “What happened to Tier,” he asked, noticing that a certain Lt Cdr Cameron had recently boarded and was assuming CEO duties. “Tea,” he told the replicator, “Catullan Rose.”
“Something about an altercation with a superior before he was to ship out, I believe, Captain,” Weatherly answered, trying not to smile at the fact that the Captain had ordered her a cup of tea, “Called some Corps of Engineers Commodore a gokk-bonking something or other and earned himself a nice liberty in a six by eight.”
Mac nodded… Steward, lad, yer a brilliant engineer but yer gob’s ne’er gonna let ye break, lieutenant, he smirked, Sounds a wee bit like another I know.… “A’right, then, lass,” he said, handing Weatherly the PADD, first, followed by the freshly replicated tea, “Wha’ else ye go’ tha’ needed done ere I was s’posed ta be ‘ere?”
“Thank you, sir,” the yeoman smiled, accepting the beverage and returning her PADD to the desktop where she could still view it, yet have a free hand. “I had planned to simply transfer the latest departmental reports to your terminal and, after straightening up a bit, had thought I might coordinate with you regarding departure protocols and the disposition of the Romulans during launch. I know, earlier, we had discussed that they would be confined to quarters when…”
“Belay tha’, as well, Chief Petty Officer,” the Cerberus’ CO sighed with a wave of his hand, “Ef th’ bloody point-ears need ta be huddled aboot th’ bloody cloak as we leave port, so be it, I s’pose. I still dinnae trust ‘em any further than I might toss this ship, lass, but they ‘ave proved, so far, tha’ they’re no’ set upon sabotage. Check wi’ Commander Rrowl an’ ensure tha’ there’re no’ any viable security issues an’, if no’, ammend those orders. Extend an inv’tation ta Centurion Khnialmnae ta join me onna bridge a’ 0600 fer launch… I s’pose ye c’n extend tha’ ta include ‘er second, ef ye see fit. An’, ef the Centurion thenks et’s necessary, ‘er techs c’n attend in main Engineerin’. Eyes on ‘em a’ all times, o’ course, lass.”
“Aye sir,” Weahterly nodded, honestly surprised that Mac had seen past his bias against the Romulans to play diplomat and allow their leader aboard the Cerberus’ bridge, “I’ll inform the Centurion personally afte conferring with Rrowl..”
“Brilliant,” the Captain nodded, “an’ ‘ave Lt Commander… Cameron, was it?”
“Cameron. Yes sir.”
“Have Cameron see me ere we ship oot. I’m sure ‘e’ll be onna bridge a’ th’ time, bu’ I’d like ta ‘ave a chat wi’ the lad ‘afore ‘and.”
“Consider it done, sir…”
“It cannae be done wi’ ye standin’ there eyeballin’ me, Weatherly,” Mac observed, retrieving his cup from the desk, “Take yer tea an’ get yer arse ta wairk. We’ve less’n two hours ta launch an’ I’ve yet ta see Cameron in me Ready Room.”
((OOC: Okie doke… soft tosses to Tac, Security, and Engineering here, as well, as to the Rommies… expect (and feel free to post, if you see fit) a visit from the Captain’s Yeoman. Backposts as necessary… now let’s get outta here, shall we?... Still have a bit to finish up on the actualy departure but figured i'd post this much to provide a bit of fodder, etc... part 2 coming soon.))

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Q&A
Subject: LOL
Stranger things have happened, methinks...
Jal does have some 'unfinished business' that might only be handled from the 'other side,' after all... Who knows, mayhaps there'll be an afterlife encounter with the Master and both Jal and Wynter will both get restored to life some way, some how? The otherrealms are a strange place, you know? With possibly as many ways out as there are in...
For now, sadly, the odd little mage shuffles off the mortal coil for the sake of his friends... perhaps not so sadly as his sacrifice also brings his greatest reward.

Subject: Sorry?
No way, Roger! That was fantastic! I loved it!
Disappointed that Jal actually died? Perhaps a bit... he was a really fun character to play with and I couldn't have imagined anyone better to have served as my first ever mage... but what a way to go, eh?
At least he got to be of some use in combat for once... Way to almost land on Dalmer, Jal! Woot!
I'll get you a death scene and some closure soon.

Topic: Star Trek: Operation:Persephone - Q&A
Subject: Added to the roster...
Once again, Duncan, welcome aboard. I've added your name to the 'players list' so you should now be able to post in the game thread...
A very brief rundown of happenings between pgs 3 and 9 - The crews aboard both Cerberus and Charon are "becoming acquainted" with one another (more so on the Cerberus as the Charon's crew have all served together for quite some time - Cerberus is "brand spankin'" new as far as crew and the ship herself. There are Romulans aboard Cerberus, installing the cloak and 'escorting' the other to DS9 for installation on the Charon... realtions betwenn the Romulans and Fleet personnel have been icy and perhaps antagonistic thus fur but, over the course of the last three days, the two groups have at least started working well together (and Mac may have even developed a 'begrudging appreciation' for Sienae)... There's an alien sabotuer in your dept (for now), Lt Cdr Cameron, that no one seems to be aware of, as yet.... smells like trouble...  ...
Anyway, most of the action on those pages have occurred aboard the Charon (thanks to my disappearance earlier and troubles getting back IC when I returned)... There are lots of interesting developments that have transpired aboard the Charon and DS9 that most certainly will have an impact on Cerberus' crew later (or sooner), of course, but nothing that 'has to be read' immediately in order for you to get started. The cloak, as of my last post (which woofs us ahead to launch day) is installed on the Cerberus and we're prepping for launch. Hoping to have that post up a bit later, got just a touch more to go...

Subject: *grins wolfishly and wrings his hands*
Deeeeee-licious! This is going to be fun. Great intro post, Lou!
One assumption and one quick question regarding our little party:
"Spite" and Mallys are sisters, I take it (assumption based on the common surname as posted in the recruitment thread)?
Dmitrova made the statement "you've not all worked togehter before"... not a problem... buuut, aside from the sisters, would we at least know of one another to any degree? (Just trying to find an angle on how we all arrived togehter, etc... good timing, coincidence, etc, you know?)...
No hurry on either of these, as none of it should affect my first post, just curiosities and fishing for reference points.
Thanks,
Eol

How about my XO? You still around Jenth?
We've got a 'fresh faced Innmate' looking to get in on a Trek game and since my absence has thinned out the Cerberus staff a bit, I'm hoping to slide Duncan into a decent slot... he expressed interest in CEO and XO, sooooo, Jenth, my friend, let me know which way you're beaming and we'll make a decision from there.
P.S. Post in the works... Cerberus leave drydock by the end of today. oh... and Lt Cdr Jones reports on repair and refit status for the Charon, as well.

Not sure that a warp capable Chevy Avalanche is a good idea but boy oh boy is it fun to imagine.
Until then, I continue suckin' up the dino juice cuz...welll... I gotta work and my wife and kids deserve to go places other than school and work, themselves.
Heard tell recently of a guy in Indiana who, in reaction to the rise in gas prices, set up a rig in his own backyard and, lo and behold, struck a nice little patch... I think he cranks out something like 3 barrels a day (??? not sure that I remember that exactly right but it's something like that...)... Ohio's not far from Indy... wonder if I got enough lego's and stuff to make my own oil rig? Worth considering...

Topic: Q&A: The Return Of The Prodigal Son
Subject: Actually...
...cloudkill will affect creatures/characters over 6 HD if they don't make their saving throw vs poison.
Per the description in the PHB:
Cloudkill
(Evocation)
Range: 10 yds. Components: V, S
Duration: 1 rd./level Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 40 x 20 x 20 ft. cloud Saving Throw: None
This spell generates a billowing cloud of ghastly yellowish green vapors that is so toxic as to slay any creature with fewer than 4+1 Hit Dice, cause creatures with 4+1 to 5+1 Hit Dice to roll saving throws vs. poison with -4 penalties or be slain, and creatures with up to 6 Hit Dice (inclusive) to roll unmodified saving throws vs. poison or be slain. Holding one's breath has no effect on the lethality of the spell. Those above 6th level (or 6 Hit Dice) must leave the cloud immediately or suffer 1d10 points of poison damage each round while in the area of effect.
The cloudkill moves away from the spellcaster at 10 feet per round, rolling along the surface of the ground. A moderate breeze causes it to alter course (roll for direction), but it does not move back toward its caster. A strong wind breaks it up in four rounds, and a greater wind force prevents the use of the spell. Very thick vegetation will disperse the cloud in two rounds. As the vapors are heavier than air, they sink to the lowest level of the land, even pouring down den or sinkhole openings; thus, the spell is ideal for slaying nests of giant ants, for example. It cannot penetrate liquids, nor can it be cast under water.
Anyhoo... that said, it's still up to Ulfgar whether or not to cast the spell... and yes, Dispel Magic should collapse cloudkill (sorry for the misunderstanding earlier) but, as Flirty said, it'll take two rounds minimum, etc...

Just checking before I do anything drastic in my upcoming post(s)... Who all is left (PC wise) on Cerberus. I guess I'm just double checking before I inflict the first casualties... don't wanna kill off P'tammah, for example, if Ginafae may be returning or if someone else might be interested in the role (if not, P'Tammah may just get an owie and the helm role will open up to someone else... a Romulan, perhaps, if the situation is dire enough...  ))
