*the reaper telekinetically hurls briana away again, followed by oculus before she can establish a firm link to the lycan's mind, then effortlessly blocks the stream of water before dispersing the unstable elemental - and the darkness now vanishes, but they are no longer aboard the exeter, but hovering above a cityscape in…
(the tattoo only blocks DEMONIC possession...and the reapers, despite their appearance, are not demons) *the reaper easily dispels the air blast with the use of his puppet's power and turns his head slightly, briana suddenly finding herself being lifted, followed by being hurled hard against the wall - not that anything…
sovereign: the one you knew is gone - only we remain *and as the lycan's body begins levitating, black lightning starts to arc around him just as a cloud of pitch-black smoke comes rushing down the corridor, engulfing the entire group in utter darkness*
matt: so weak, so...vulnerable *he continues, the shadows starting to thicken around the pair, matt's voice starting to take on a frighteningly familiar tone - that of the fallen reaper sovereign*
matt: and you respond...poorly! *he says, his voice taking on an echoing tone and his eyes taking on a crimson hue, wisps of black smoke starting to spread through the bottom of the corridor*
matt: no, not the same result - i don't let MY fear rule me and turn me into a useless lump in the middle of a crisis! *he snaps, fangs bared, the plate of spotted d.ick falling from his grip and shattering on the floor*
um...you do realize that fed, kdf and roms can all use jem'hadar ships, romulans can use all their ally's ships aside from a few special cases and fed, kdf and jem'hadar can use all romulan ships (again, aside from a few special cases)? by the end of the year, fed and kdf will be able to use each other's ships
matt: oh, that reminds me - risa next month; i hear they're giving away a captured vogon dreadnought...how the hell they found one of those, i have no idea - and i do not have scars from diablo! the only scar i have is this one *he points to the claw marks across his left eye*
the average player does less than 5K in queues...fleet support as it is already does more than 4x that amount i will GLADLY take a customized, boff-captained ship with horrible AI over PUGs any day
matt: i have no idea...spotted d.ick? *the lupine says, offering briana a plate of what looks like a dense sponge cake with bits of dried fruit in it and covered with custard*
you're missing the point - you still need to carry around one of each, necessitating the removal of 6 valuable inventory slots; those things don't grow on trees, and i am not crosis and i am not made of money!
(jesus christ, if no one else is going to do something about that ship, i am!) *the conundrum takes note of the new arrival and runs a passive scan on it* (also, breasst cancer awareness: https://groupees.com/sto)
(and lost over 70% of their forces in the process - i wouldn't call that 'short work' and if i had been in charge, it would've been 100% losses, because as i said earlier, i can't multitask or macromanage for TRIBBLE)
matt: wanna take your frustration out on some zerg? this program probably has the entire aiur reclamation on it - i had to read through the data on the chip to figure out what that whole thing was...
(apparently one where the federation either no longer exists, is in terrible shape or has turned terran empire, according to discovery's S3 trailer and the calypso short trek and yes, that whole episode of voyager was really...oogy - tuvix still takes the cake for biggest commission of a crime against sapience, though)
matt: well, as i recall from dad's experience, at the end of that whole mess, there were 3 versions of braxton running around, and all 3 had to be temporally reintegrated...including the one who actually committed the crime
