...maybe not exactly palpitations but it was a good post.

Well, I'm glad that you liked it.

Now, to push the story onward!

Is it bad that I was honestly excited about that piece, Olan? Well done!

And way to assuage the situation with Asovil, Eol.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It was fun to do. I won't reveal just how many times I've hashed this out while driving to and from work...

I've been doing the same thing.

I don't know that I'll have time to post today. Pretty busy with some new assignments at work, but I'll see if I can.

And what is this work thing, anyway?!?!?!

Who authorized such frivolous activities on today of all days?!?!? Don't you know it's election day and you should be fretting over the outcome to such an extent that focusing on work becomes impossible and the only thing you can do to ease your poor tortured mind is to write a Trek post?!?!?! I thought everyone knew that! Geez-o-lou! What's wrong with this country?!?!

PRIORITIES, people!!!!





((Whew! I'm winded... typed that all in one breath...))

...just a fluff post because I could... nothing major. I'll leave Tochi standing in the hallway for a moment before he decides whether or not to go catch a few quiet minutes of eye-closing in his office or, maybe, he'll decide to head for the bridge right away. This will be PO Owen's first shift at the helm, after all, it could get a bit bouncy.

Boo-yah!

OK, so I've carried on the always pleasurable interaction between Tochi and Asovil at lunch, I've added Asovil's thoughts to the Captain's Mast and engaged with Tochi after the Mast, and I've written in Asovil's initial investigation into the accident in Chemlab.

The latter most certainly can be played out further by others who would be involved in the investigation according to their department responsibilities: Cook, McTavish, Berk, Lasad... I'm also sure that Captain Drake and Tochi will be made fully aware of the incident before Asovil's report hits their desks in (although, since Tochi is on Beta, and they had lunch already, he likely already knows about it).

The ship does seem a little empty...

Oh! And I also took the responsibility upon myself to bust Lauren's rank down to Petty Officer, 1st Class and add her reprimand. And, the logbook is completely updated.

Nuff said!

Post tomorrow.

Or not so happy day if you don't want me back (or need consoling after that dismal showing for your general election my american friend). I'm all caught up with homework for the little while, and I'm just catching up with reading posts. I want to have something up for Berk by the end of the day tomorrow. It's good to be back.

Of COURSE we're glad to have you back!

...we missed you! Tochi would've hated tp NPC Berk leading his "client" to the brig!

Glad things are easing up for you, Brennus! Looking forward to seeing your post(s).

...technically it is tomorrow in the Eastern time zone of the continental U.S. so, there's a post.


I'm going to bed, now... See you all in the morning!

Thanks a LOT, Eol. I just spent forty-five minutes reading up on OCS in Trek.

I figured that it had to exist, but with so many non-canon sources, it sucks to research.

I can't help it... I'm like a natural born instigator or something! I blame writing that post in the middle of the night... yeah... that sounds good.

Also, I just realized that I left a sentence off the end of that post... nothing earth shattering, just a parting word or two to Asovil... I'll go edit it in, now...
