(uh wut? the original Enterprise - no bloody A, B, C, D, E, F or NX - NEVER encountered the elachi ...how can you possibly have NOT gotten that reference?!)
*the vulpine quickly moves to bar his path* ???: captain *the aralez calls as she scans one of the comatose crewmen* geryon: what is it, milena? *he asks as he comes to a stop* milena: several of these crewmen are showing signs of a fungal infection consistent with the elachi bio-conversion process geryon: dog damnit...how…
todd: you won't; they aren't likely to still be there, since i contacted the authorities and told them what happened *the away team beams aboard the damaged vessel outside main engineering, the grecian sheperd and human joined by a gampr wearing medical fatigues and a gorn, of all things, wearing engineering coveralls*…
todd: no, but you would've been praying for it in due time if i hadn't been there *he steps into dundee's personal bubble* you are NOT invincible or infallible, human, no matter what 'special' qualities you possess - try to remember that the next time you go up against a species you know absolutely nothing about (*still…
todd: just because you didn't see any, doesn't mean they wouldn't have been able to smuggle one in, and that isn't the point anyway! the point is you didn't know these aliens frequently pack an energy weapon capable of completely neutralizing almost any standard complex lifeform it hits in a single shot before i told you -…
todd: one hit...it would only take ONE hit from a nausiccan energy lance's energy net to take you out, and then you would have quickly found yourself being hauled off to ter'jas mor to be auctioned off to the highest bidder
todd: and you really think you would've been able to fight off all those nausicaans? that was just the first wave - he undoubtedly called for far more than that, and enhanced human or not, you would NOT have been able to handle them all...you know nothing about this time period, the species you're picking fights with,…
(i already got nick to confirm the notes show for other people, but having extra confirmation is good and at this point, i think i've got ship classes well settled - right now, i'd mainly prefer extra infantry or armor names, and definitely names for structures...i'd prefer to shy away from commonly used terms like 'mining…
todd: you would rather be alone once qwen calls in even more mercenaries? that was just the first wave - for a prize like you, he'll call in entire starship's worth of bounty hunters
todd: you're right - we should get going in case those nausicaans somehow manged to follow us *he says, deliberately pretending to be unaware of the reason for dundee's sudden skittishness*
(no, you never said anything about his name) todd: they still call it slavery, even when it's just for kinky play...i guess because some actually build an entire lifestyle out of it
todd: it is...the imperium has a zero-tolerance policy on unwilling slavery of sapient beings, and all imperium captains have standing orders to attempt to free slaves if possible without getting them killed or starting a war if they run across slaver convoys or operations (you never said if you got the reference)
*he coughs uncomfortably* there is an inordinately large population of beings in the galaxy who prefer to have creatures such as myself as...unwilling personal companions
todd: abducted and sold to the highest bidder or traded for valuable goods, favors or other useful things, most likely - someone of your...unique condition would fetch a handsome price on the black market...as would someone like me, but for entirely different reasons
todd: well, that explains why that ferengi was so interested in you *the vulpine looks on as a bunch of powerboarders come screaming past along the river - another race or biathlon must be going on*
i still don't get it...it sounds a bit like trademarks can only be filed on specific artistic creations and copyright on executions of those trademarks in a specific way
