alex: well, there will be time for righteous vengeance later - krys, get your fuzzy butt down here! *he repeats* bring the food if you must, just get here so we can settle what we're doing with those spikes, the defense grid and the planet itself
alex: i told you to check that tribble for prior births! *he yells into the comm unit so briana can hear it - unfortunately blasting krystal's ears in the process*
alex: well, bring the food with you, for luna's sake! *he covers the mic* is it just me or does she seem to be getting more and more clueless as time passes? (it is; scent is just as good as a tricorder - better, in some ways)
*alex sighs and taps his comm unit* greymane to jade - krys, wherever you are get your fuzzy butt down to the conference room - meeting can't start without you
(also, i'm sure i don't need to point out that as soon as this meeting is over and all the reaper tech vaporized...straight back to DS9 - NO DETOURS!)
rakesh: yes, where is everyone else, anyway? tala, you did say we were all congregating in 10 minutes, didn't you? it's actually been MORE than that *he says with a fierce glare at alex, which he pretends to ignore*
alex: hmm? y-yeah, fine, why do you ask? *he stutters, still carefully looking anywhere except the spot where rakesh is standing - which he notices and instantly becomes suspicious* rakesh: YOU! *he roars as he stomps up to the shifty lycan* you did that, didn't you?! *he demands loudly, at which alex's shoulders slump and…
*rakesh walks in a few minutes later, looking extremely ticked off* sorry i'm late, but i've suddenly found myself having to deal with a kahless-be-damned tribble outbreak! *if nick is paying attention, he may notice alex suddenly avoiding looking in rakesh's general direction*
(not that - bringing up his flagship, which he's still sore over losing) *alex's fur is still standing on end as he slinks into the conference room, very much sore about being reminded of his lost ship*
(also...we need to figure out what we're going to do during the breaktime between the end of this and the start of The Search, which i've already stated i want to be at least a month so lexington can get back into the fray with its shiny new upgrades (for which i don't want to just gloss over her launch from drydock,…
alex: maybe start by finding out whatever got him in a mood and making amends for it? or just bribe him with food - that always works for - and with - me
alex: he never explained that part - just used so much foul language i had to threaten to tan his hide so he'd stop (it was the thing at krystal's quarters where he was accused of eavesdropping even though he can't help it)
and all those people continuing to point out the inaccuracies of stormtroopers - frequently citing one throwaway line said by luke (and it wasn't even him - it was mark hamill saying it to harrison ford and they decided to add it to the actual movie) as 'evidence'...while conveniently ignoring the OTHER line spoken by…
and i would also like to point out that, during the battle of chin'toka, a galaxy was seen taking SEVERAL hits from heavy spiral-wave disruptor beams fired by the defense platforms with barely a scratch...while d'deridexes were being hit by those same beams and absolutely torn to shreds
just keep in mind that moving them to the reclaim tab was a temporary measure - they'll be moving them again once the event revamp (supposedly) goes live in about two weeks with Awakening
