alex: so what was that nonsense about the meeting being delayed a week and held on trill - a FEDERATION world - instead of neutral ground...last i checked, not many federation worlds are especially keen on playing hosts to our dominion guests after the war (and you know...that was the actual reasoning in the mission for…
*alex grabs a large glass of water and a stack of unseasoned saltine crackers from the office replicator, then slumps into a nearby chair* it's really going to get wild when the cravings start up...i remember you had some especially...weird ones
alex: i would probably break a lot of biologists if i said any of the things i just said...or make them hound me incessantly and great...that means another 12 days of this since only 8 have passed since i got knocked up
*alex comes back a few minutes later, looking even more miserable* when is morning sickness supposed to end? please do't tell me after the first trimester...
alex; oh, boy...we really need to talk about this little habit of yours *the lycan replies as he pulls out a bar of chocolate, rips the wrapper and waves it under her nose*
alex: know what? that i'm pregnant? i mean...i was trying to keep that on the down-low, since only kayla knew before this, but...freaking morning sickness had other ideas
*alex returns a few minutes later, groaning and looking far more miserable than he did moments ago* i really, REALLY hate morning sickness... (and does krystal know he's pregnant? because if she didn't, she does now - that should trigger another brain reboot)
alex: outta my way! *he bolts past the exocomp fast enough to cause and airburst behind him which sends it flying - and a few seconds later, the sound of horrid retching drifts down the hall which krystal can pick up on thanks to fox-ear*
alex: well, find out fast or point me toward the nearest one *he chokes out, sounding like he's trying very hard to keep his stomach from coming up through his throat*
(that...is not a good reason, and doesn't even make any damn sense - the tzenkethi are not a problem anymore; their arc is OVER...we're dealing with drug-starved bugs)
(it doesn't make sense to be declassifying it AT ALL, frankly, because control is still out there...which just makes the current crossfield and spore-related stuff already in STO a massive, glaring plothole now)
(be kind of hard to do that since everything about discovery and the spore drive was classified at the highest level under threat of treason for breaching it - up until roughly a year ago...which makes no damn sense i don't think CBS had the ending of SSSpt2 in mind when cryptic initially released the disco lockbox...but…
