Krystal: *thoughtful look* From our perspective we've already dealt with the TLF and Sphere Builders. Which is why I hate Temporal Mechanics. Frickin' Shrodinger's Temporal War. It both is dealt with and not dealt with. Forever.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Bri: We're also in another universe itself rather than timeline. Sphere builders could have chosen the Romulans as their puppets here instead of the Xindi... or the Klingons as I've seen about another timeline. so there's another layer to think about

Nexa: You were great Val, being silent can make you more intimidating which I'm sure is good for the klingons.
Janri: Glad to hear it's all taken care of. *she smiles seeing them on the bridge*
Nexa: Alright, now let's get out of here. Helm, plot a course for Risa, and let's go for speed. *The Shade of Regret begins to move out of orbit and prepare for warp*

Henha: I'll bet you will. But you'll need to grow up big and strong first, so let me make sure you have some food to help with that. *she pats Evelynn's head and gets up to return to cooking*

Reina: I hope we won't have to deal with whoever gave them the tech...
Bri: eh, we might... so Is it bad i understand it perfectly? also are we nearly at the rift?

Donovan: *he nods and gets up, soon coming back with said food along with some milk and apples*

*suddenly a kurak class battlecruiser and two vorcha cruisers drop out of warp in front of the amari as the view screen shows an orion woman sitting casually in her captains chair*
???: well well it seems my hunch was right you are janri's cr*tch spawn, ive been looking for her for some time. you may have forgotten janri but the syndicate never forgets so why dont you make this easy and come with me, id hate to have to blow up your daughters ship....

Janri: *she growls, her fangs sharpening for a moment before she gets ahold of herself* When your father and I first got together we didn't exactly have permission to leave our Syndicate roles behind... they didn't pursue us while your father was still alive, and I guess when I moved to the colony they couldn't follow through.
Nexa: of course they just had to come after us in the heart of klingon space. *she glares at the the Orion captain on the other end* You'll have to forgive me if I'm reluctant to hand over my own mother. Family is everything to me. Now we could fight this out... or discuss things. Maybe you would blow up my ship, but are you really ready to see what I'd do to protect her? Ready to see what sort of surprises a captain like me has? *she has the diplomatic tone of a federation captain, but the veiled threats of someone who is ready to fight tooth and nail if pushed*
Bri: *she takes a deep breath, standing ready at the main tactical console ready to start blasting if need be, looking over to Kara* anything you wanna add, love?
*******
Donovan: for the most part. Having access to whatever food or drinks I want, whenever I want them is definitely something I could get used to rather than having to pay out my nose in Taxes to the NCR. The space part is nice too

???: *leans forward in her chair with a grunt* hmph cute. No I sense the potential for profit. You call yourself a smuggler, maybe you take a few jobs from me and maybe I look the other way. You see I happen to need some one that’s in good with starfleet, with your past you fit the bill nicely. And I know what you’re thinking yes you could run and you could get away but you won’t last long…. And you don’t want me as an enemy.
Val: *intensely stares at the orion*
???: *looks over at Val with a grin* look at you full of TRIBBLE and vinegar, valendria was it? My sources say you’re not from around here, this… reality shall we say? Oh yes I know about you, rumor has it that you’re a real life vampire but I guess we’ll have to see about that hmm? *she sits back in her chair* to the matter at hand, I’m a business woman at the end of the day. Sure I could simply destroy your ship and claim janri bounty but I see a potential asset in you. You would be paid well of course.
******
Kara: *shrugs* not much I can add that hasn’t already been said… unless that’s not what you meant.
******
Cerys: oh I am aware, I’ve never bothered with them tho. *she says starting in on her food, her tail swaying happily behind her*
******
Evelynn: *waits for henha to finish as she wrestles with her own tail*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: *She rubs her temples for a moment, they've fought great terrors but here she is in such a poor position.* What sort of work are you intending, there are some lines I won't cross when it comes to smuggling even at the risk of death. But I'm willing to hear your offer.
Janri: *she crosses her arms and sighs, feeling bad for putting them in this position even if unintentionally*
***
*Reina looks curious at what the sensors or visuals might reveal*
***
Henha: Food is ready! *she calls out to Evelynnn, revealing some stew she's prepared* So Evelynn, aside from being a bit rambunctious how have things been lately?
*as She says that, on the View screen is the John Paul Jones fighting four Romulan warbirds and a Klingon D-5. The John Paul Jones fires a quantum at a warbird, hitting it but not taking it out. Another fires but explodes not far from the torpedo launcher, sending them back while damaging their hull, The Romulan forces keep firing on them, their shields dangerously low*
Bri: weapons hot! Firing away! *she rapidly taps the weapons console, hitting the D-5 with phasers, taking down its shields and hitting it with some quantums of their own, firing at the Romulan ships, the John Paul Jones providing fire too but after sustaining damage, some of their phasers aren't able to fire* Orders, Captain?
*******
Donovan: when their money was actually worth something I didn't mind, but regrettably the Brotherhood of Steel destroyed their gold reserves and basically made the dollar worthless. They could have my tax dollars when they fixed some of that... but I'm here now with everything I could pack on that shuttle... and I had a lot... what else do you wanna know?
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not.

???: its just transporting goods from point A to point B and perhaps escorting a few persons of import. i have a few available now should you decide to accept.
*she looks over to val* and as for your violent feline friend i have some opportunities for her as well. from what ive heard you have a very deep capacity for violence. and if your vampirism is to be believed then that would make you the perfect candidate for assassin work or bounty hunting. *she gives a sly wink to janri as she mentions the bounty hunting* of course you'd have to temper your blood lust as the targets i have lined up require a deft hand to deal with. i have an initial target with which you can deal with as you see fit and i admit i do find myself curious about this vampirism rumor. anywho, take some time, think on it. im sending my contact info, but dont take too long alright?
val: *looks between nexa and the orion, trying to gage nexa's feelings on the matter*
***********
kara: oh sh*t... that ships not ganna last much longer....
**********
cerys: what exactly happened to your world?
**********
evelynn: kinda boring.... jorins been gone for awhile and jaessa has been busy with samaia a lot.....and now mama is spending a lot more time with donovan, i think she really likes him... you like her too dont you?.... b-but dont worry i think you're really cool and jaessa does too!
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: *She doesn't seem to like the mention of assassinations, but otherwise isn't bothered by bounty hunting.* I can accept. Just, no thalaron triggers under any circumstances. Let me know what jobs you have for me.
***
Reina: Can we still save their ship? *she watches, concerned for how damaged the John Paul Jones is*
***
Henha: Yes I like her. It's been nice showing her all the things she never got to try before. *she hums softly as she eats, before beginning to wonder, Evelynn is talking a little strangely and Henha's content hum stops* I'm glad that you both like me. I really was hoping I could help ease those tensions in your family. I could tell Cerys really did care about all of you.

Krystal: Lets give them something else to shoot at. Helm, move us in to cover the Jones. Stand by to extend shields, and get me a full scan in case we need to evac them. Target enemy vessels and fire at will. Drive them off or get them to look at us.

Bri: Aye Captain! *she keeps up her assault, firing on the Romulans as the Lexington moves forth, following Krystal's orders*
*The Lexington extends shields to the John Paul Jones as they keep firing phasers, with their torpedo launcher out of action and hull damage they're holding on as best they can, more Romulans start to warp in, joining the battle. the shields taking shots from every angle, they're spreading themselves thin trying to protect the John Paul Jones. they're outnumbered 10 to 1*
*********
Donovan: Nuclear war mostly.... before that resource wars. everyone killing each other over oil, uranium, those sorts of things. not much i could do on my own to stop it. It just became "The Free World vs Communism" and.. the fighting and rampant paranoia never stopped, a bad plague too. then after the bombs dropped, you've got hordes of mutants wanting to convert humanity, though they were dealt with by some kid from a vault, you've got the enclave, survivors from the pre-war government bent on killing anyone impure, they were dealt with by the kid who took care of the mutants, grandchild... *he thinks to himself* I realize I'm being very broad.

???: well i have one that's just a transport. your cargo is a person. i'll send the details over and you can read them when you're ready. anyway with all of this out of the way i have places to be. i will keep in touch. *the finer details of the job are sent over as the three ships turn and warp away*
val: that went better then i thought..... um you would'nt think lesser of me if i took some of her less moral jobs would you?
******
kara: *stands next to bri silently observing*
******
cerys: i see, its not too dissimilar from my home but on a galactic scale. just add rampant political corruption and.... *she pokes her chin in thought* hmm how to word this in an easy fashion... two religious factions of space mages that constantly fight one another dragging the rest of the galaxy into their wars, i suppose is the best way i can describe it.

evelynn: im sorry you didnt get to spend much time with her.....

Nexa: *She closes her eyes as they leave* No assassinations please Val... I don't want to see you fall into dark tendencies. The bounty hunting is fine. Helm, take us to warp to Risa, we still have a delivery to finish. *she gets up from her chair placing a hand on her stomach, she was having such a pleasant day...*
Janri: I'm sorry you got caught up in this Nexa... I never wanted this.
Nexa: *She gives Janri a hug* Look, it's not your fault. I decided to take a delivery from klingon space, and you only have a bounty because you wanted a better life. *As she holds Janri her eyes darken slightly* I would've made them regret even thinking of trying to steal you away. After what we've been through no one is taking my Mom away from me. *the slight shift in her tone while showing her love for Janri, also has a hint of... menace to it. But it fades quickly Nexa breaking the hug and rubbing her head*
***
*There's a steady tapping sound coming from behind everyone, like a cane hitting some of the harder parts of the floor. After a moment it stops and there's a small clapping like an applause*
Sheogorath: Well done Captain. I was wondering if you were ever going to stop resting on your laurels and take to the stage. But now we're in the closing act, lass. Tell me, do you remember the Kobyashi Maru?
*Sheogorath struts to the center of the bridge before laughing heartily* A lesson in futility, fit for the Shivering Isles themselves! You'd have an easier time playing jump rope with yer intestines than succeeding here. Oh defeat the Romulans you may, but this is where she was meant to die. *he gestures to the ship on the viewscreen, the image altered to better show the John Paul Jones*
But tell ye what. You have been a good sport on the matter, you have changed the fate like a true Starfleet captain. And most importantly, ye didn't ignore my warnings! A marked improvement from your last fare! *He laughs, his eyes looking to Reina who crosses her arms at his implication* As a reward, I shall step in and draw the curtains early. The supporting role shall have the honor of continuing her career. *with that, he taps his cane to the ground once, and as suddenly as before the two ships both vanish from where they are, reappearing back outside K-13* This was a fairly entertaining endeavor!
***
Henha: What do you mean? *she looks a little confused but part of her is inferring what's happened based on Evelynn's tone* I wanted to take things slow, show her everything I could about life. *she offers a sad smile* Maybe I wasn't trying hard enough.
Bri: *blinks confused, looking back to the tactical console, then the view screen* They've sustained heavy damage to the front of their neck and the bottom of their saucer, two hull breaches on the very bottom of their saucer. Warp core is stable, their Starboard nacelle has sustained damage, and their comms are out. The ship is in good condition all things considered.
*The Lexington almost immediately gets a hail from the Tepes, and very likely the station as well*
**********
Donovan: oh we definitely had the rampant political corruption, both pre-war and post-war... no mages though... *he smiles* you seem to be enjoying the waffles.

Val: dark tendencies…. *lets out a small depressed chuckle as she mutters something starring off into space*

Kara: huh just like that then….

Nexa: *She sighs before giving a hug to Val, just resting her head against her there's a similar sort of moment where she squeezes Val tighter, as if she wouldn't let anything take her from her arms before she's back to her normal self* I believe in you alright?
***
Sheogorath: Yes, just like that. *He snaps his fingers and laughs* A test was given and a test was passed. Now, I must take my leave, Haskil will be complaining if I'm gone too long, and our business be done. Tata lasses. *With a wave of his hand he simply vanishes as if he was never there.*
Reina: *She rolls her eyes* Well, that was an adventure... still better than when he had me go deal with something on the bottom of ocean. And the dying.
T'Lera: Does stuff like that happen often? Was that a Q?
Reina: No... not a Q. Just a madgod.

Henha: Well... both I and Donovan wished to be more than just friends with Cerys. *She pauses, deciding that she might not go into detail on her own romantic approach to Cerys, Evelynn is only a child after all and might not understand.* I guess its not quite the tortoise and the hare when it comes to relationships.
Nick: *is on the Lexington's Viewscreen in the captain's chair of the Tepes* Krystal, you disappeared, what happened and.... why did you steal a museum piece? They're not able to exactly explain themselves.

val: *her body feels cold and rigid as she sighs* its just a part of what i am... and what you are janri. eventually you will feel it, a nag at the back of your mind, ignoring it works but only for so long... then it grows more and you start having thoughts...."its easy, all it takes is a simple hand wave and their gone. mortals are fickle things.... so fragile and weak". but the thoughts arent enough and it keeps digging in until finally you lose your mind in an all consuming need for violence. it can manifest in different ways like me for example. i enjoy hunting which is why i figured some of the jobs from that woman would help in a way.....

It just became "The Free World vs Communism" and.. the fighting and rampant paranoia never stopped, a bad plague too. then after the bombs dropped, you've got hordes of mutants wanting to convert humanity, though they were dealt with by some kid from a vault, you've got the enclave, survivors from the pre-war government bent on killing anyone impure, they were dealt with by the kid who took care of the mutants, grandchild... *he thinks to himself* I realize I'm being very broad.
val: that went better then i thought..... um you would'nt think lesser of me if i took some of her less moral jobs would you?
******
kara: *stands next to bri silently observing*
******
cerys: i see, its not too dissimilar from my home but on a galactic scale. just add rampant political corruption and.... *she pokes her chin in thought* hmm how to word this in an easy fashion... two religious factions of space mages that constantly fight one another dragging the rest of the galaxy into their wars, i suppose is the best way i can describe it.
******
evelynn: im sorry you didnt get to spend much time with her.....

Janri: I'm sorry you got caught up in this Nexa... I never wanted this.
Nexa: *She gives Janri a hug* Look, it's not your fault. I decided to take a delivery from klingon space, and you only have a bounty because you wanted a better life. *As she holds Janri her eyes darken slightly* I would've made them regret even thinking of trying to steal you away. After what we've been through no one is taking my Mom away from me. *the slight shift in her tone while showing her love for Janri, also has a hint of... menace to it. But it fades quickly Nexa breaking the hug and rubbing her head*

*There's a steady tapping sound coming from behind everyone, like a cane hitting some of the harder parts of the floor. After a moment it stops and there's a small clapping like an applause*
Sheogorath: Well done Captain. I was wondering if you were ever going to stop resting on your laurels and take to the stage. But now we're in the closing act, lass. Tell me, do you remember the Kobyashi Maru?
*Sheogorath struts to the center of the bridge before laughing heartily* A lesson in futility, fit for the Shivering Isles themselves! You'd have an easier time playing jump rope with yer intestines than succeeding here. Oh defeat the Romulans you may, but this is where she was meant to die. *he gestures to the ship on the viewscreen, the image altered to better show the John Paul Jones*
But tell ye what. You have been a good sport on the matter, you have changed the fate like a true Starfleet captain. And most importantly, ye didn't ignore my warnings! A marked improvement from your last fare! *He laughs, his eyes looking to Reina who crosses her arms at his implication* As a reward, I shall step in and draw the curtains early. The supporting role shall have the honor of continuing her career. *with that, he taps his cane to the ground once, and as suddenly as before the two ships both vanish from where they are, reappearing back outside K-13* This was a fairly entertaining endeavor!
***
Henha: What do you mean? *she looks a little confused but part of her is inferring what's happened based on Evelynn's tone* I wanted to take things slow, show her everything I could about life. *she offers a sad smile* Maybe I wasn't trying hard enough.
*The Lexington almost immediately gets a hail from the Tepes, and very likely the station as well*
**********
Donovan: oh we definitely had the rampant political corruption, both pre-war and post-war... no mages though... *he smiles* you seem to be enjoying the waffles.
******
Kara: huh just like that then….
*******
Evelynn: taking things slow? *she asks genuinely confused* mama’s just been spending a lot of time with him I guess, isn’t that what friends do?
******
Cerys: indeed, they are. I find it all fascinating
Tala: Coffee, two sugars, cream... and aspirin. *smiles*
Krystal: *laughs* Lots and lots of aspirin.
Open a channel.

Sheogorath: Yes, just like that. *He snaps his fingers and laughs* A test was given and a test was passed. Now, I must take my leave, Haskil will be complaining if I'm gone too long, and our business be done. Tata lasses. *With a wave of his hand he simply vanishes as if he was never there.*
Reina: *She rolls her eyes* Well, that was an adventure... still better than when he had me go deal with something on the bottom of ocean. And the dying.
T'Lera: Does stuff like that happen often? Was that a Q?
Reina: No... not a Q. Just a madgod.
*The station is indeed hailing the ship*
***
Henha: Well... both I and Donovan wished to be more than just friends with Cerys. *She pauses, deciding that she might not go into detail on her own romantic approach to Cerys, Evelynn is only a child after all and might not understand.* I guess its not quite the tortoise and the hare when it comes to relationships.
Nick: *is on the Lexington's Viewscreen in the captain's chair of the Tepes* Krystal, you disappeared, what happened and.... why did you steal a museum piece? They're not able to exactly explain themselves.
***************
Donovan: I'm sure you'd love burgers or apple pie. all those good American things. *he smiles as he eats* do you wanna ask me anything more, or do you wanna talk about yourself?
******
kara: does he do stuff like that often?
******
evelynn: more then friends? *her head tilts to one side as she gives a confused expression*
******
cerys: i suppose its only fair since i have been asking. is there anything about me you wish to know?
