(also...eli's words remind me of the words of a wise old orc - "Fight only those you can defeat and your life will be long and boring. Challenge those that are stronger than you and your last moments will be quick and exciting.")
rakesh: while i would have put it a bit more...tactfully - i agree with the irishman; you cannot be compromised and neither can i, which is why i won't even attempt a task like that despite having strong telepathy myself; i can't risk falling under reaper indoctrination, which is why i volunteered my interrogator; he knows…
rakesh: a better idea would be for me to bring down my interrogator - he's ferasan, so very much strong in telepathy-based psionics...and far less of a problem if he becomes compromised by reaper indoctrination
yeah, who wouldn't enjoy 95% shield penetration on every shot for 10/15 seconds...seriously, that's way too damn overpowered, even in STO where power creep is a power supernova
alex: i want that even less than i ever want to meet another space natzi...and obviously, i NEVER want to meet another space natzi as long as i live (famous last words, there)
(when did jessica get on the hellhound with alex and bashir? also, we can just juggle DM duties whenever someone gets bogged won in real life...so at least we aren't stuck waiting on NPC interactions - can't do anything about OC interactions, but at least we can keep from having freeze-ups with NPCs)
