Yup
[Sat 2:33:55 PM] undefined - Debinani:
Gimme a sec, dealing with more Discord settings
[Sat 2:38:46 PM] undefined - Kristian:
that was a brief prelude sir
[Sat 2:40:19 PM] undefined - Jason G:
cue Dirk humping an AI interface
[Sat 2:41:38 PM] undefined - Kristian:
no one said anything about the interface
[Sat 2:41:44 PM] undefined - Kristian:
goo is self-lubricating
[Sat 2:42:09 PM] undefined - Kristian:
sorry lol
[Sat 2:42:37 PM] undefined - Veth:
you indomitable bastard!
[Sat 2:43:36 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Oh shit! starts waking people up
[Sat 2:43:36 PM] undefined - Rob:
You could probably assume that for Roland, too, if we’re talking about an alarm that signifies something mechanical went wrong.
[Sat 2:43:47 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Calliope - what the hell is going on?
[Sat 2:43:48 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
What’s the big deal?
[Sat 2:44:03 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
to the rest of you Just get up here!
[Sat 2:44:14 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
pan speaker to token
[Sat 2:44:21 PM] undefined - Kristian:
or whatever lol
[Sat 2:44:25 PM] Everyone - Veth:
Alright, on the way.
[Sat 2:44:37 PM] undefined - Veth:
me
[Sat 2:44:38 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol
[Sat 2:44:53 PM] undefined - Veth:
it kinda works though
[Sat 2:44:55 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Veth has become the universe
[Sat 2:44:52 PM] undefined - Rob:
Maybe we’re all on the way?
[Sat 2:45:01 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan immediately flips up the live drive telemetry
[Sat 2:45:05 PM] undefined - Kristian:
if you would just run this on a TI82 like a normal person, instead of constnatly upgrading, this would never happen
[Sat 2:45:09 PM] undefined - Veth:
I always knew I spoke for everyone.
[Sat 2:45:40 PM] undefined - Rob:
Veth is also known as Lord h4xx0r
[Sat 2:45:57 PM] undefined - Veth:
nope!
[Sat 2:45:58 PM] undefined - Jason G:
fixed to my on my UI
[Sat 2:46:04 PM] undefined - Jason G:

[Sat 2:46:12 PM] undefined - Veth:
I have become zen
[Sat 2:47:01 PM] undefined - Kristian:
it’s terrible, worst in history, nobody has ever seen anything so bad
[Sat 2:47:13 PM] undefined - Rob:
I’m suddenly getting Event Horizon vibes.
[Sat 2:47:45 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Does anyone know what the hell is going on?
[Sat 2:47:48 PM] undefined - Veth:
gonna try to reconnect
[Sat 2:48:01 PM] undefined - Kristian:
has this like..happened often?
[Sat 2:48:03 PM] undefined - Veth:
fixed!
[Sat 2:48:26 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Veth turned off the jump drive and turned it back on again.
[Sat 2:48:35 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Always the first thing to try
[Sat 2:48:35 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan [comms] We’ve become dimensionally umoored everyone.
[Sat 2:48:40 PM] undefined - Kristian:
and people survive them and do “what went wrong” evaluations?
[Sat 2:48:42 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
What?
[Sat 2:48:44 PM] undefined - Veth:
Me Din Strata. Me give up control of entire universe. Me so humble!
[Sat 2:49:10 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I thought blow on it and reinsert was the first thing to try?
[Sat 2:49:13 PM] undefined - Michelle:
pats Veth on the head good boy!
[Sat 2:49:12 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
The great adventure that ends a lifetime.
[Sat 2:49:17 PM] undefined - Kristian:
no wonder Calliope seems displeased with me.
[Sat 2:49:20 PM] undefined - Jason G:
has Aiden ever thought experimented this type of situation? Does he have any ideas?
[Sat 2:49:45 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
I think he said we’re fucked.
[Sat 2:49:50 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:

[Sat 2:50:00 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Oh, is that all?
[Sat 2:50:12 PM] undefined - Rob:
Calliope says “My god… it’s full of stars”
[Sat 2:50:25 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
Okay, who set the jump and missed?
[Sat 2:50:26 PM] undefined - Jason G:
sorry, no
[Sat 2:50:31 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
4
[Sat 2:50:48 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
So what do we do?
[Sat 2:50:52 PM] undefined - Jason G:
today is the day of bad rolls I guess
[Sat 2:50:55 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Roland Denhardt shrugs
[Sat 2:51:04 PM] undefined - Veth:
we’re getting them out of the way early.
[Sat 2:51:14 PM] undefined - Kristian:
how spicy you make the hell before the giant beast shits you back out again
[Sat 2:51:26 PM] undefined - Kristian:
interdimensional hawk tuah
[Sat 2:51:27 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
We either cut power or ride it out, either way we hope for the best
[Sat 2:51:26 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
We wait and pray, I guess.
[Sat 2:52:37 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Ugh, not this again…
[Sat 2:52:45 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
This… can’t be good.
[Sat 2:53:01 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan looks at the location system… “…my god… how far…”
[Sat 2:53:16 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan goes quickly to Engineering
[Sat 2:53:18 PM] undefined - Veth:
If we run into the borg, we know we should have taken that left at Alburquerque
[Sat 2:53:37 PM] undefined - Michelle:
System checks and looking for enemies
[Sat 2:54:13 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
What the…
[Sat 2:54:15 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
Huh…we made great time.
[Sat 2:54:21 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Let’s not do that again.
[Sat 2:54:37 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Well fuck me. Someone teach the ship new tricks?
[Sat 2:54:37 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
A few weeks ago I would’ve said “that’s impossible”, but my definition for the word has shifted of late.
[Sat 2:54:54 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
To think, we thought we were going to die. Great outcome.
[Sat 2:54:55 PM] undefined - Rob:
So no one on the ship aside from the party has ever gone through a gate. How disciplined is everyone about this?
[Sat 2:55:52 PM] undefined - Jason G:
…
[Sat 2:56:19 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Wait, Dirk AND Tomoe?
[Sat 2:56:19 PM] undefined - Veth:
She’s just lucky there’s no car in there.
[Sat 2:56:34 PM] undefined - Rob:
Cue 70s porn music?
[Sat 2:56:39 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Calliope what happened?
[Sat 2:56:55 PM] undefined - Veth:
they were teaching calliope about what “ick” is.
[Sat 2:57:07 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan pulls Tomoe down
[Sat 2:57:14 PM] undefined - Veth:
And dirk came. The most spoken phrase in that year.
[Sat 2:57:32 PM] undefined - Jason G:
im sorry emergency gotta go
[Sat 2:57:35 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Daniel will talk down the rest of the marines and whatnot
[Sat 2:57:32 PM] undefined - Rob:
Isn’t it usually “And Dirk came early”?
[Sat 2:57:44 PM] undefined - Kristian:
who’s tugging on Dirk?
[Sat 2:57:49 PM] undefined - Kristian:
any volunteers?
[Sat 2:57:56 PM] undefined - Veth:
lol
[Sat 2:59:15 PM] undefined - Veth:
nah just tomoe.
[Sat 2:59:16 PM] undefined - Michelle:
He’ll have them wired up and monitored every which way, I’m sure.
[Sat 2:59:46 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Teach Aiden to sleep at night and miss the good stuff!
[Sat 2:59:56 PM] undefined - Rob:
He won’t make that mistake twice.
[Sat 3:00:41 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Roland Denhardt runs systems diagnostics to make sure nothing is wrong with the ship
[Sat 3:00:59 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Sorry, I’m back. crisis averted for now
[Sat 3:01:23 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
minor family health scare
[Sat 3:01:26 PM] undefined - Kristian:
har har har
[Sat 3:02:07 PM] undefined - Rob:
Mayvik, you showed up on time for the game so that your character could be unconscious.
[Sat 3:02:16 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Yep
[Sat 3:02:34 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Tell them all to buy lottery tickets
[Sat 3:02:36 PM] undefined - Jason G:
so both are still unconcious?
[Sat 3:02:56 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
ugh..fuck me.
[Sat 3:03:04 PM] undefined - Kristian:
is anyone there?
[Sat 3:03:24 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Did I die?
[Sat 3:03:38 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Tomoe? Can you hear me?
[Sat 3:03:39 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
[oddly casually] Dirk, what was going on in the engineering room
[Sat 3:03:53 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang blinks a couple times
[Sat 3:03:52 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan flips off Dirk’s alarms
[Sat 3:03:57 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Aiden. Jesus.
[Sat 3:04:00 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Where are we right now?
[Sat 3:04:07 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
And don’t say on the ship, dick.
[Sat 3:04:18 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Canto.. we made the whole trip in three hours
[Sat 3:04:19 PM] undefined - Veth:
Aiden, giving dirk’s alarms the double deuce.
[Sat 3:04:31 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang exhales
[Sat 3:04:38 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Damn I’m good.
[Sat 3:04:42 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I hope.
[Sat 3:04:52 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
That’s it? We’re just at Canto? Everything else is OK? Everyone is here, safe?
[Sat 3:04:55 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Ship is fine?
[Sat 3:05:26 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Well, you seem physically stable. Ship is … normal…
[Sat 3:05:28 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Is Tomoe just sleeping, or is something wrong with her?
[Sat 3:05:29 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Tomoe..
[Sat 3:05:39 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Unconscious, but physically stable
[Sat 3:05:55 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Maybe that’s for the best
[Sat 3:06:00 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Aiden, I need you to do something for me.
[Sat 3:06:14 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
It’s important.
[Sat 3:06:55 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan walks over to Dirk and sighs.
[Sat 3:07:17 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I feel very much in the dark at the moment Dirk. I don’t much like not being in the loop.
[Sat 3:07:33 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
First I need you to do something.
[Sat 3:07:38 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Then I’ll explain.
[Sat 3:07:53 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
What is the something?
[Sat 3:07:54 PM] undefined - Veth:
I fee like dirk isn’t used to giving this speech to men.
[Sat 3:08:02 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Go to my quarters. In the top right hand drawer, under my unmentionables, there is a fantastic bottle of whiskey. Bring me that bottle.
[Sat 3:08:19 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol
[Sat 3:08:41 PM] undefined - Rob:
Best not to annoy Aiden while you’re strapped down in a medlab.
[Sat 3:08:59 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I’ll humor you on this.
[Sat 3:09:16 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan goes to get the bottle, on the way pulling up the camera feed for the room
[Sat 3:09:44 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang lays there looking at Tomoe
[Sat 3:09:49 PM] undefined - Kristian:
not stuff. UNDERWEAR.
[Sat 3:09:50 PM] undefined - Jason G:
trying very hard not to handle the unmentionables
[Sat 3:10:06 PM] undefined - Kristian:
hope you found the right drawer or you might find other things.
[Sat 3:10:02 PM] undefined - Rob:
Aiden has gloves, right?
[Sat 3:10:10 PM] undefined - Michelle:
You can only get those things so clean…
[Sat 3:11:45 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan hands the bottle to Dirk, “Need a glass?” walks over to a drawer and pulls out a couple scientific beaker type things
[Sat 3:11:48 PM] undefined - Kristian:
for science, checks Dirk’s ABV at present.
[Sat 3:12:13 PM] undefined - Michelle:
I’m sure he already had that the second he wired you up
[Sat 3:12:16 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang uncorks the bottle and takes an enormous chug
[Sat 3:12:16 PM] undefined - Jason G:
holding off for now, I don’t want people distracting from Dirk’s …explanation haha
[Sat 3:12:24 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang cough
[Sat 3:12:23 PM] undefined - Veth:
it comes back showing Dirk is 80 proof.
[Sat 3:12:27 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Fuck. That’s smooth.
[Sat 3:12:43 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
No glass, thanks.l Have some for yourself though.
[Sat 3:12:47 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang holds out bottle
[Sat 3:12:48 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
No glass then…
[Sat 3:13:02 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan pours a few fingers and sips at it
[Sat 3:13:30 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
We should do this more often. Just have a bottle and talk.
[Sat 3:13:39 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I will regale you with a story.
[Sat 3:14:15 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan checks on Tomoe again and then sits to listen.
[Sat 3:14:24 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
When I was a kid, as you can probably imagine I got dragged along to a lot of parties.
[Sat 3:14:36 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
The kind of parties that, for a kid, are boring as shit.
[Sat 3:14:48 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Hell for an adult they are boring as shit, but at least we can entertain ourselves a bit better.
[Sat 3:14:53 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang glances at the bottle
[Sat 3:15:11 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Anyway. I recall this one party, probably the first one I really remember.
[Sat 3:15:32 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I must have been 6, maybe 7 years old. It was at this big fancy estate, you know the type. Pretentious.
[Sat 3:15:41 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan nods
[Sat 3:15:46 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Wish I could remember who, but..it doesn’t matter.
[Sat 3:16:14 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
This party was especially tedious, no other children my age around, so I snuck off to explore.
[Sat 3:16:39 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
At some point I wandered into what must have been an office, or study..or maybe some some sort of collection room set up to look like one.
[Sat 3:16:59 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Lots of wood, walls lined with books and most of them probably real, leather chairs, the works.
[Sat 3:17:26 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Looked old, except for the occassional trappings of a modern study, screens and lights.
[Sat 3:18:08 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I poked around a bit, but something caught my eye in the corner of the room, sitting on a little table. It was a ship in a bottle. You know what I mean, an old sailing ship with masts and riggings?
[Sat 3:18:47 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Imagination fuel for a kid of that age though, so I was on it in a flash looking at this thing. I remember the detail being incredible, down to little painted sailors in the lines and on the deck, but that may just be how a man remembers what a boy sees.
[Sat 3:18:56 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I probably stared at this bottle for 10 minutes.
[Sat 3:19:09 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang looks at the whisky again
[Sat 3:19:10 PM] undefined - Debinani:
[Sat 3:19:20 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Anyway, that’s not the point of the story
[Sat 3:19:22 PM] undefined - Debinani:
Huh, okay, chat bubbles use html.
[Sat 3:19:33 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
So the point of the story is what was above the bottle. On the wall, in a frame, there was a map.
[Sat 3:19:49 PM] undefined - Debinani:
- Aiden burns through every ounce of patience he’ll ever have in his entire life -
[Sat 3:20:05 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
An old sailing map. Now I have no way to know for sure but it looked authentic. Like a real relic. Faded and worn. The frame was solid, like you’d see in a museum.
[Sat 3:20:34 PM] undefined - Michelle:
was just thinking that Dirk doesn’t win lawsuits with brilliance - he does with so much BS that they surrender to escape!
[Sat 3:21:00 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
It wasn’t complete, a work in progress. But near the edge of the map was this brilliant, artistic serpent drawn in, with some words in a language I didn’t recognize written underneath.
[Sat 3:21:03 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Aiden’s pretty stoic, except for the burning desire to figure the fuck out of what just happened, but he’s patient if Dirk is being open about something, since it’s rare :)
[Sat 3:21:02 PM] undefined - Rob:
I suspect that if this story goes nowhere, Aiden will perform some elective surgery on Dirk.
[Sat 3:21:14 PM] undefined - Debinani:
- as a GM with full knowledge of what DIrk experienced, I’m interested in where this story goes too
[Sat 3:21:34 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
As an adult, I assume that was something to the effect of “beyond here be dragons” in whatever language that cartographer wrote in.
[Sat 3:22:13 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
And we know that isn’t right, obviouisly, no one sailed off the edge of the world or was eaten by a sea monster. They just found something new.
[Sat 3:22:15 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan smirks a bit and swirls his drink
[Sat 3:22:27 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
But I think Aiden, maybe it was wrong for a different reason.
[Sat 3:22:59 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I don’t think the monsters were out past what had been explored. I think maybe the monsters are everywhere. All along, they have been here. We just didn’t see them.
[Sat 3:23:15 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
And if little Dirky had peeled that map back off the backing of the frame
[Sat 3:23:32 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
The whole underside would have been a teeming, roiling mass of dragons, just hidden by the map on top of it.
[Sat 3:24:00 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang takes another big slug of whisky and turns his head to look at Tomoe
[Sat 3:24:21 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I think Aiden..I think maybe Tomoe peeled back the map. Or maybe something used her to peel it back.
[Sat 3:24:37 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
But…we need to be..careful.
[Sat 3:25:18 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Something is happening with Tomoe and I don’t know what it is, but ever since we went through that gate..
[Sat 3:25:29 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang shakes head
[Sat 3:25:37 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
When I got to the drive compartment, she was already there.
[Sat 3:26:20 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I think it was her that fouled the jump. I don’t know how. But I don’t think she knew that she did it, or she wasn’t…in control of herself anymore.
[Sat 3:26:49 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
What made you go there? to engineering?
[Sat 3:26:52 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Somehow the two of us were able to..I don’t know I guess steer the dive? I’m not a jump scientist, so I am sure it’s not the right words.
[Sat 3:27:03 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Calliope called me, and said something was wrong.
[Sat 3:27:24 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan raises his head, paying closer attention
[Sat 3:27:32 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Anyway…it’s visual. Or at least that’s how it presents in our brain.
[Sat 3:27:48 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Or mine, I suppose…I don’t know what presents in Tomoe’s brain.
[Sat 3:28:05 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
probably fewer tits…
[Sat 3:28:32 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
That would be an interesting experiment.
[Sat 3:28:35 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
But anyway…
[Sat 3:29:04 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I can kind of see where things are, and how to get there. I saw Canto, and we..swam, I guess is the best way to describe how it manifested, here.
[Sat 3:30:00 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I think we can see other ships. Entering and exiting N space
[Sat 3:30:03 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Somehow, you and Tomoe navigated N-space
[Sat 3:30:22 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
..Yeah. With our minds. Maybe the both of us together? I don’t know.
[Sat 3:30:22 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I don’t know how your brain is still intact.
[Sat 3:30:37 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Yeah well it’s pretty fucked up man, but that whisky is helping.
[Sat 3:30:43 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
The sheer… enormity…
[Sat 3:31:00 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Anyway. It feels like there’s something else in there too, deeper than the ships, deeper than we swam.
[Sat 3:31:17 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
And they don’t feel like they want to just pop by and say hi.
[Sat 3:31:45 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
So I think we really, really need to be keeping Tomoe, and probably me, far the fuck away from the drive system.
[Sat 3:32:12 PM] undefined - Rob:
Yeah, that was the time Dirk saved us all by picking the right stripper, right?
[Sat 3:32:18 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I’ve seen tiny glimpses into deeper places.. gravitic anomolies, I think I’ve told you. I’ve only glimpsed what you’re describing in tiny bits, off the periphery in the math…
[Sat 3:32:31 PM] undefined - Kristian:
SHE WAS WORKING HER WAY THROUGH MED SCHOOL
[Sat 3:32:35 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I can only imagine what you saw
[Sat 3:33:01 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
It wasn’t fucking tits, I’ll tell you that.
[Sat 3:33:07 PM] undefined - Rob:
“Working her way through med school” has a different meaning with a hooker, Mayvik.
[Sat 3:33:13 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
But it wasn’t a sea monster either. At least not this time.
[Sat 3:33:31 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
My fear is that you did not do this alone, or entirely of your own volition.
[Sat 3:33:49 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
But if I hadn’t gotten to that chamber when I did…who knows. We might be a tasty 3 dimensional snack slowly digesting in something right now.
[Sat 3:34:12 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang eyes look around at the walls of the ship a bit
[Sat 3:34:22 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Perhaps we should postulate on that another time.
[Sat 3:34:29 PM] undefined - Michelle:
So we stick a marine guard on the engine room. Pics of Dirk and Tomoe circled in red and slashed through on the door.
[Sat 3:34:47 PM] undefined - Kristian:
“Sir, I shot Dirk just like the sign said” “Meh, close enough”
[Sat 3:35:06 PM] undefined - Rob:
We award a medal for that.
[Sat 3:35:12 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang takes another big slug and corks the bottle.
[Sat 3:35:16 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Right now we have a ship full of confused folks, most also worried about you and Tomoe.
[Sat 3:35:25 PM] undefined - Michelle:
“most”
[Sat 3:35:42 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
They’ll be relieved you’re up and about.
[Sat 3:35:47 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I’m good I think. But yeah. Keep an eye on me.
[Sat 3:36:05 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Next time we dive, stick both in freezers
[Sat 3:36:14 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Is there anything else you’d like to tell me?
[Sat 3:36:16 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
And maybe hide that bottle. If we get sucked into the maelstrom again, I don’t want to swim drunk.
[Sat 3:36:38 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan takes the bottle
[Sat 3:36:43 PM] undefined - Kristian:
“Sir, I shot Dirk and chopped off his feet, just like the sign said”
[Sat 3:37:31 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:

[Sat 3:39:31 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Michelle is back
[Sat 3:39:39 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I am just glad you’re ok Dirk. I wish I knew why you two felt compelled to do this.
[Sat 3:40:08 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I felt compelled to have a good night’s sleep and maybe rub one out.
[Sat 3:40:19 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Maybe Tomoe will have some thoughts when she comes to.
[Sat 3:40:23 PM] undefined - Veth:

[Sat 3:40:38 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan comms the bridge. “Canto ATC wondering why we’ve arrived without notice?”
[Sat 3:41:01 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:

[Sat 3:42:03 PM] undefined - Michelle:
“Are WE”
[Sat 3:42:31 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk concentrates real hard and the ship immediately jumps to Space Hooters. TIME FOR WINGS BITCHES
[Sat 3:42:39 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I’d like you to rest here for a few hours. Let the monitors keep an eye on you and let that alcohol get through your system. If you’re feeling find after that then you’re free to leave.
[Sat 3:42:44 PM] undefined - Kristian:
that’s what Tomoe was talking about all along. Mmm…I want wings…
[Sat 3:42:57 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Wings on an irradiated rock?
[Sat 3:43:16 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Sure thing Doc. I could use a nap anyway. That isn’t induced by a gravity hammer direct to my brain that is.
[Sat 3:43:38 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I am going to go check out engineering… run some tests, talk to Calliope
[Sat 3:43:59 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Daniel Eckhart leans back in his chair and heaves a sigh
[Sat 3:44:00 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
If you feel the need to leave before I get back, let me know so I can make sure Tomoe is attended
[Sat 3:44:34 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Can’t say our method for getting here was… pleasant… But I’m glad we made up some time on Char - the crew’s trail.
[Sat 3:44:46 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan goes to Engineering and starts pouring through logs
[Sat 3:45:05 PM] undefined - Kristian:
smothers Tomoe with a pillow
[Sat 3:45:08 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:

The N-space monster immediately eats us
[Sat 3:47:03 PM] undefined - Rob:
Today’s session is making me think that Deb has been read WH40k lore.
[Sat 3:47:10 PM] undefined - Jason G:
so she gabbed his face, like forcing him or was he willing?
[Sat 3:48:10 PM] undefined - Kristian:
It’s probably just becuase of how I was dressed
[Sat 3:48:11 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Was reminding me of The Rowan
[Sat 3:49:17 PM] undefined - Kristian:

[Sat 3:49:28 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Best line so far
[Sat 3:49:35 PM] undefined - Jason G:
oh.. well yeah that’s a little bit of context there that helps eh? lol
[Sat 3:49:39 PM] undefined - Kristian:
glad Dirk did not recount that part as “you suave handsome rakish studmuffin”
[Sat 3:49:48 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Well that’s not…at all creepy
[Sat 3:50:01 PM] undefined - Jason G:
at least she didn’t say “human”…
[Sat 3:50:23 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
to all, including Aiden Are we still running diagnostics, or can we head for orbit?
[Sat 3:50:48 PM] undefined - Kristian:
“You hot, sweaty meatsack”
[Sat 3:50:52 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Unless Aiden knows something I don’t, we can head for orbit.
[Sat 3:51:06 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Wasn’t sure if he was done probing the ship
[Sat 3:51:27 PM] undefined - Michelle:
And yes, that was on purpose
[Sat 3:51:39 PM] undefined - Rob:
Mayvik is rubbing off on you.
[Sat 3:52:01 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Oh dear lord. Now I need another shower.
[Sat 3:52:05 PM] undefined - Jason G:

[Sat 3:52:15 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan returns to medical and reluctantly affixes restraints to Tomoe’s arms and legs
[Sat 3:52:29 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk’s pulse rate suddenly increases
[Sat 3:52:40 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
shrugs Make for the planet, Julian?
[Sat 3:52:52 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Or to whomever is flying this thing
[Sat 3:52:54 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I heard the audio. You remember what she said, Dirk.
[Sat 3:53:10 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
We don’t know what is influencing her
[Sat 3:53:14 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Yeah yeah I’m a slimy disgusting man.
[Sat 3:53:24 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Hey man, don’t say I didn’t tell you first.
[Sat 3:53:27 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang shrugs
[Sat 3:53:54 PM] undefined - Kristian:
no I told Aiden to hide it so I wasn’t tempted to get shitfaced
[Sat 3:54:02 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I took it, yep
[Sat 3:54:11 PM] undefined - Kristian:
N-space dragonriding DUI is not the minigame we need to play
[Sat 3:54:36 PM] undefined - Veth:
lol\
[Sat 3:55:06 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Do we tell Jack about this?
[Sat 3:55:13 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
I am…a bit concerned about what may happen if anyone ever tries to audit our travel logs…
[Sat 3:55:21 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk’s going to leave medbay after a bit and return to..somewhere. Probably his quarters.
[Sat 3:55:28 PM] undefined - Rob:
Those of us that aren’t obsessed will get some sleep? Also, I think we really should post guards to keep Tomoe and Dirk away from the dive array.
[Sat 3:56:12 PM] undefined - Kristian:
someone feed Dirk a bunch of spice melange and chain him up in an aquarium.
[Sat 3:56:33 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Can we MODIFY those logs? We already have the Feds giving us the side-eye with the insurgent stuff
[Sat 3:56:40 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan during the burn Aiden will try to correlate drive perturbation readings with data gathered from previous experiments such as the ones he took when Tomoe did the arnite dust tricks and readings from the cave, etc…
[Sat 3:56:47 PM] undefined - Jason G:
grasping at straws
[Sat 3:57:08 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
6
[Sat 3:58:22 PM] undefined - Rob:
Did Aiden share any part of Dirk’s theory that there are monsters everywhere?
[Sat 3:59:17 PM] undefined - Jason G:
not in those words..
[Sat 3:59:59 PM] undefined - Jason G:
swimming,, right
[Sat 4:00:35 PM] undefined - Kristian:
All 3000 years of it.
[Sat 4:00:43 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I was there Gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago when Dirk started talking.
[Sat 4:00:54 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Everyone else gets the abridged version.
[Sat 4:01:09 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Tomoe weird, sucked me into N space, helped save us, I’m a big hero, also there’s scary shit in there.
[Sat 4:01:21 PM] undefined - Rob:
Julien was cloned? Damn.
[Sat 4:02:04 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Roland Denhardt sighs
[Sat 4:02:18 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
The Council really is a bunch of pricks.
