alex: ...EXCUSE ME?! did i just hear that correctly - the DOMINION created the fek'ihri?
-
*having overheard the last log* let me guess - they offered a carrot, then started bonking the hur'q on the head with a stick and that's why they're pissed at everyone now
-
alex: were they violent back then too? (and why haven't they found the fek'ihri yet? i'm pretty sure those last few logs were after finding the stasis'd fek - they were very close to the entrance as i recall)
-
(that call was directed at krystal - how about answering it!)
-
alex: i look like *insert description here, see left side, only with a slightly less pronounced lower jaw and more british aristocratic features*
-
*alex sighs and opens the channel again* oi! what the hell's going on over there? you should've found something important by now
-
alex; chemicals don't work - the retrovirus responsible immediately attacks and destroys any foreign agent entering the blood; i have to inject substances at a strength that would immediately kill any other living thing if it were injected just to get a weak effect
-
alex: yes, ouch - it's not only extremely uncomfortable, it's also painful (*bonks rattler on the head* that log counts as a significant discovery)
-
that's assuming of course that you don't buy into the theory that transporters destroy the original and create an exact duplicate at the destination - in which case everyone who uses a transporter even once dies
-
alex: because you're either growing or losing very coarse hair far faster than nature ever intended from way more pores than the average human tends to have, plus your bones and skin are shifting to accommodate a new shape - also way faster than nature ever intended
-
alex: yes, i do, and no, i'm not showing you - i only shift when i absolutely have to, because every instance is like being immersed in itching powder while you have DT - multiplied by a hundred
-
*alex looks up and stares* you gonna join me or make me feel rude for eating in front of guests?
-
(you can't 'look eyes wide' at someone without facing them) *alex takes a seat, grabs a slice and starts munching away*
-
(and now he owes alex an apology, because he saw eli in that) alex: you know you can always go back for more? the chef always makes enough to feed over 150 people even though there's only like 50 crew aboard - thank you, automation
-
alex: i was under the impression augments were specifically modified to have a LOW metabolism, along with being able to more efficiently process nutrients for energy (because how else did khan and co, survive on tau ceti as long as they did? because i don't remember seeing farms there, and that kind of hostile environment…
-
(i did; they better let the character become a werewolf - i don't care if it means getting booted out of hogwarts) alex: high metabolism - we need a LOT of food to maintain our energy levels
-
*alex walks over and grabs a few slices for dundee along with an entire pizza for himself, then motions him over to an empty table once he's finished replicating the drinks, assuming he would have been doing that while the wolf was grabbing the food* (one of these days, someone will actually be surprised at seeing him…
-
(*pokes everyone with a giant bone*)
-
alex: a bunnicorn is a type of lagomorph native to the planet nepenthe on the edge of federation space - it basically looks like a horned rabbit that happens to be venomous - but don't worry, the chef is an expert at safely removing bunnicorn venom sacs and what's wrong with black olives? if the only exposure you've ever…
-
alex: and thus, you see the conundrum of solipsism *he enters the mess hall and checks what today's menu item is* looks like they're serving pizza today, topped with fresh antarean basil, kavarian olives and bunnicorn sausage, and the sauce was likely made from tomatoes grown in our hydroponics lab or if that doesn't…
-
alex: no, that would be after listening to a lecture on solipsism *he stops and turns* you are real, right? my mind didn't just make you up or anything, did it?
-
alex: that's why it makes a great insomnia cure
-
alex: that's what the news is for - though there are some holo-dramas that serve the purpose of old earth tv shows, and i guess you could count holo-novels with text-to-speech enabled
-
alex: television isn't really a thing anymore, especially after holodeck tech became widespread - why watch a movie when you can BE in the movie?
-
alex: reasons *he replies, getting to his feet* and you can always keep asking questions - well, let's go see what's available
-
alex: that's it? just food and drinking? which i can't even do the latter
-
*alex glances over at dundee* so what do you wanna do while we're waiting for everyone to finish investigating the scary abandoned station?
-
(you know jorin was talking to krystal?)
-
alex: it shouldn't be even remotely the same...if the tech over there is anything like what they have now, they have a far worse case of technological stagnation than most of the nations in triangulum did before the rise of the galactic empire when tech development started picking up again
-
alex: if you need an engineer, i can send one over
