I've started updating the logbook to reference some posts/events that haven't made it there, yet... plenty of those to catch up with as far as the log is concerned... got several entries tacked on already and, hopefully, will be continuing the catch up effort throughout the day.

Edit: Or... you know... since I haven't had enough coffee to make my brain work properly, maybe I'll just take a break until the caffeine kicks in.

W.O.R.D.S. is fun ok?

...so, waiting on everybody else to post is killing me and I wrote up a "First Officer's Log" post because I was bored. Want the Trill to shush? Set phasers to stun!

Anyhoo... just a little fluff post detailing some of the thoughts that have crept into Tochi's head, this morning, written out and posted for your perusal... not intended to make you think too much into anything, really... or is it?

Loves the log post. Reminds me that I should do those for the Captain from time to time.

Post in progress, I promise.

I'm gonna be honest, it may be the weekend before I post again. This overtime is brutal to body and mind. And as far as I know, we're doing it all week.

I promise that as soon as my brain flushes out all of the machining formulas, cost estimates, thousand-line CNC programs and the like and allows some Trek in, I shall get something up.

I know the framework doesn't have that kind of response from Hebert prepared, but the thought of him "joking" with her at the first meeting just tickled me to death. I couldn't resist.

He's obviously not going to be upset with any nicknames she might give, to be clear.

...as noted in the PM I sent you, though, it's probably not going to change Megan's response/next actions much aside from some additional blinking and causing her blush to be dark enough to make some freckles disappear.

So in his thoughts Zai doesn't use the 'We' or 'Us' references? Interesting.

As his joining wasn't "typical" of most Trill, Tochi endured something of a traumatic experience when the symbiont was implanted resulting in him being very aware that he's often thinking thoughts attributable to past hosts... in those times, he's more prone to using the plural pronouns. When he's alone with his thoughts and when those thoughts are largely his own (i.e. not directly identifiable as having stemmed from the experiences/memories of any of those past hosts) he uses singular pronouns... If you read back through some of the earlier posts for him, you'll sort of pick up on the pattern.

Again, this fact isn't commonly known but, I'm sure, there's mention of it somewhere in his service and/or medical records for those who have the clearance to access such things... and it may have even been discussed among those aboard the Peregrine who know Tochi well enough for him to be comfortable discussing the topic (or where it's almost a "need to discuss" issue)... Drake, for example, is well aware of Tochi's past hosts... Vaela is aware of, at least Dirven (as Dirven had a fling with her grandmother and Vaela put two and two together)... Thorson knows as much as he can handle as he and Tochi were friends in the academy (although, in those days, Tochi was unjoined and his surname was recorded as Tigan) and often drink together.

Being a Trill is complicated.

NPC RP Notes:
Megan has a habit of assigning her crewmates nicknames (sometimes accidentally). She will use many of these nicknames in the course of her daily interactions with the crew but there are a handful that she keeps to herself and/or uses only in "guarded company." Those closely guarded nicknames are marked with an asterisk (*) in the list below.

• Captain Drake - The Boss
  
• Lt Zai - Lt Splotchy*, Th' Lieutenants, Zai'Tammah* (just recently)
  
• Ens P'Tammah - Vae, Lady Blue, Ens Pajamas*, Zai'Tammah*
  
• Ens Thomason - Ens Tiny, Tiny
  
• MCPO V'Lur - Master Chief Stiff-britches*, S'V'ur (pronounced Seh-VUR, a play on "Severe")
  
• SCPO Kukkonen - Kook
  
• CPO Yasuo - Yas (pronounced Yaz)
  
• Lt(jg) Reid - Ranger Reid
  
• Lt(jg) Sa'eridon - Lt Kitty, Kitty Karri
  
• MCPO Davis - Clancy (occasionally Chief Clancy)
  
• PO2 Toporov - Tops, Nicky
  
• Lt(jg) Tesenblen - Plant-Man!* (said as if introducing a superhero)
  
• Ens Maize - Dal (pronounced Doll)
  
• Lt(jg) Moriden - Weezy*
  
• PO2 Finnley - Lee-Lee, Leahprechaun
  
• Crewman Pierce - Tasha, Tash
  
• Crewman Suder - Suds

I've also copied this list to her Roster entry and, as it evolves, any new entries will be added there... (I foresee her naming Dio "Lt Luscious," for example, but, as she has yet to meet him, I have refrained from listing it just yet.)

Anyhoo... if anyone wants to NPC Megan in a post, feel free to reference the list... just mind the company she's in when those * entries come into play.

...will return in a moment. But first, we pause for station identification and to bring you these messages...
