Alrighty. Looks like this is everyone
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
[I here[
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
Yes, sir.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Now that we have a good crew tonight, we can do some simming
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
yay.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Any questions?
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
No, sir.
[9:25 PM]
Waot
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
no sir
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Wait yes, sir.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Yes?
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Some semblance of briefing?
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Ah. Yes.
[9:30 PM]
We are still traveling at low warp. Sivian and Gaavr are trying to understand our guest and introduce her to Earth's Classical Music.
[9:31 PM]
The unknown ship is still tailing the Ares out of sensor range.
[9:31 PM]
Tonight, we will see if we can get to know our guest and figure out who her pet is.
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Understood.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Another question is... who are the people tailing the Ares and are they friendly? And... when will they decide to make their appearance known.
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
or if that felinoid IS a pet
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
True
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
I shoot them.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Anything else?
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
;;rh;;
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Yes Seamus?
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
condition on the engines and shields?
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Shields are functioning at 100%. Engines and weapons are 100% as well.
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
ok tytyty
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
You're welcome
[9:36 PM]
Is it ok if we go a little over?
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
no problem here
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Cool
[9:36 PM]
Then let's...

❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
I swear that I can figure out who is following us.

❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
[Oh I missed asking if we are going to go to 10:30CST since it took us 30 minutes to get started]
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
(probably)
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
(of course)
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Well since we know they are there. They keep following our wake. I can just set a torpedo to detonate in front of them and expose them. They are matching us course for course, sir.
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
CB Sivain> ;;also uses melodies from different oldies singers from Earth like Neil Diamond, Moody Blues and Metallica;;
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Or... we can drop out of warp and they can be exposed that way.
[9:45 PM]
I don't wanna give them a bad first impression that we are hostile.
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Portman> If we can't see them when in warp, then why would we be able to see them if we drop out of warp?
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder06/17/2020
:: err, somewhere ::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
(Gaavr You are in the Cargo Bay with Sivian trying to communicate with the female guest and understand her language)
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
(brb)
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
(ok)
[9:46 PM]
Hmmm...
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
If they aren't going to answer hails, particularly since we know they are there, then I don't figure they want to talk.
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
::Mira stood at the operations::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
:: thinks of the time when Archer and Enterprise encountered the Xyrillian:: Ready a torpedo.
[9:48 PM]
We'll expose them and then talk to them.
[9:49 PM]
See if they will talk with us.
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
::sat looking at the girl in the cargo, still trying to figure out her language. She had other things on her mind as well::(edited)
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Take us out of warp. Go to Tactical Alert.
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Portman> ::muses:: Karie can you...well shit. She's not here. Nevermind.
[9:51 PM]
Understood. ::setting it, but pausing and looking at Nat, raising an eyebrow::

::Mira looked at portman:: What?

(phone, hold on)
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Portman> Throwing out a varied frequency pulse with an imbeded message, maybe they can't speak our language.

CB Sivain> ;;using gestures, motions over to the 'Cat to see what she wants to do about the six limbed furball;;
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
::Mira gave a nod:: I could do that.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Good idea Nat. Here's hoping they'll understand it.
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Portman> And no, Mira. I'm just used to Karlie being there.
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
ACT>The Ares jumps out of warp and holds position.
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
::looks to Sivain:: Keep it with the girl, but let us make sure it has food, water, and a place for bathroom... I hope to have her moved to quarters...
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
Weapons on standby. Locked. Tactical alert.
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
CB Sivain> I was going to recommend her quarters be near my own in case something was needed immediately
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
::Mira musses:: I have been here more lately than her.
[9:58 PM]
I agree to that...
[9:59 PM]
Just ask The Commander... ::She tweaks the language a bit more::

CB Sivain> ;; turns to the other woman and offers her his hand, using signs to say that they had new quarters for her and her friend;;
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Ask me what?
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
I just wish I could understand her language ::Stands up in the cargo bay::

Portman> Isn't she a little busy?
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
:: chuckles a bit ::
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
I thought we were waiting to see if Portman's idea worked.
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
Mira> ::rolls eyes:: with what? A secret obsession?
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
Right. I forgot.
[10:03 PM]
Any response on your end Nat?

ACT>A response is received on a comms channel. But it is an unknown language.
❙❙ Lt Karlie Waters06/17/2020
Mira> I do not understand this language, but we have a response.
[10:25 PM]
It's their language that I have ciphered so far.
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder06/17/2020
:: Goes to get the woman a glass of water ::
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
What do they say?

Gaavr, we have another guest.
[10:35 PM]
They recently responded to our hail. But we need your expertise to translate what they replied back.
❙❙ Lt Valarig - <<<● CPO Portman06/17/2020
I don't see any weapons charged, or I just can't see them.
❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder06/17/2020
:: Goes to the console :: Let me see what they said.

❙ Ens Gaavr or MCPO Calder06/17/2020
YOung, old, what species does she look like?
❙❙❙ Commander Matthew Edwards06/17/2020
We're trying to figure out who she is, what species and why she was in stasis.
[10:53 PM]
Young for sure.
[10:54 PM]
Species wise, still haven't figured it out yet.
❙ Seamus MacDoughall & Sivain06/17/2020
