...is handled via the 'replicators in reverse' for the most part, Meri.

For example, Mac orders a cup of coffee from the replicator, drinks it down, then puts the empty cup back in the replicator alcove where the device 'reclaims' the molecules of the mug for use/re-use in further replications of whatever. Think the epitome of reduce, reuse, recycle.

As far as space aboard the pods goes... each pod is capable of supporting six (possibly eight) people and has the resources to keep them alive in space for up to three months. Given those specifications, I'd say that the ASRVs aren't spacious by any means but should be marginally comfortable as far as having room to move, stretch out and sleep (most likely in shifts), etc. Nothing like the standard berth on even a battleship, of course, but passable at least... you had more personal space at the Academy.

Note: I read, also, that each pod has a transporter alcove and some sort of 'refresher' (though likely not one that affords much privacy). Additionally, they're capable of surface landings (not that I imagine we'll be setting foot on any sort of nearby rock, at all)... Just general FYI.

Thanks for that. Like I said I'm not up and up on all the star trek tech... but again thanks, it helped out the post alot. I'm going to be very interested to see how everyone reacts to Soujourn's
hehe, hey someone had to do it!
M.

...go an toss their cookies on me blinkin' deck!

Great post, Meri.

Probably a good thing, too, that Sojourn reminds Mac of Chantelle to some degree... reading that post called up visions of when Lt Hemlos 'bumped into Mac' for the very fist time, aboard the Discovery... Ahhhh, memories...

I'll toss in an appropriate 'reaction' in my next... along with all the other bits I need to address.

If you want to work up reactions for a bit on her I was planning on having her kind of regroup, and work on those scans as she said, but be rather shaky and pale the whole time.

Lets just hope for Chantell that she doesn't remind him too much of her

lol...

Happily awaiting reactions

...it'd take more'n sim'lar mannerisms tae get ol' Jack tae stray from 'is bonney apple-blossom e'en en thought. 'opelessly devoted, that'n es, aye?

So why should I make it easy on you. Ah, blessed twists, "Trust me, but Romulans could have done it." I love it.

I'm trying to give poor Eol time to catch up before posting a continuance, especially since there's some things he'll be sharing that will influence my post. I just wanted to let you all know that I've been enjoying the read.

...let poor Eol catch up...
*sprays inviso-goo on everybody's keyboards* I'll wash that off when I'm done, I promise.

All I've got left, now, is backposts to Duncan (important as it affects additional communications to the Charon pre-rescue), and a bit to address Stinky Stan... two posts tops... soon, my victims...er...participants... very soon.

Oh... and P.S.

DM, you should take it easy on me because Mac still gets to decide whether or not all of the pods get hauled aboard the Charon...

"But sir," the crewman protested, a puzzled expression crawling over his features, "What about twenty-five?"

Mac turned and gazed out at the one remaining ASRV, seemed to contemplate for a moment, then shrugged; "Mentioned sumthin' aboot the Tal'Shiar... let 'em bob..."

"Mester Rrowl! Grab tha' point-eared baird by th' stack an' swivel an' toss 'er oot th' hatch, aye? Then ye may eat th' rest... There's a good kitty!"


Aw, c'mon, DM... ya didn't expect that the 'admission' of previous knowledge of possible Tal'Shiar involvment was gonna turn out pretty for the Rom's did ya? On a boat full of Fleet personnel where half the numbers have had personal, not-so-friendly encounters with the RSE for most of their careers and/or lives? *winkwinknudgenudge* Cripes! Imagine what Gavison's gonna think when Mac relays the 'gathered intel and clues' over to the Charon....


Anyhoo... sooner or later, everything'll come out in the wash... i'm off to continue washin'... posts to bring us up to speed and open it back up for Kel and crew by tonight, I hope.


IC Distrust and amimosity aside, folks, an extremely great round of posts... I hereby nominate all of you for Innmate of the year!

Well aware of SF intelligence and what they and you might have already surmised.

In this case she was wanting to be straight forward with you, as you had indicated, she is not one "to beat around the bush" and she was not belittling your intelligence.

Curie is just full of surprises. I think she even surprised me with that little burst.

btw... I hope Rrowl doesn't eat her head...

But hey, Romulans... looks like you might have a slight ally here.

M.

...at least not by any players, IRL, anyway. Some of the charatcers we play, on the other hand... well... you saw how Rrowl reacted.

Anyhoo...nothing to worry about, at all... as I said before, it'll all come out in the wash and I'm busy washin'.

Twists, turns, subplots, cliffhangers, and shocking surprises are what we're all about here in the RDINNized Trek universe.

Not bad logic, there, Merideth. *I* harbor no ill wil.

Rrowl may eat your head, though. No promises.

And no hard feelings huh?
