thank augmented dictator games too, for bringing it to cryptic's attention so quickly - he always seems to be on the ball as far as new bugs go...now if cryptic would just show as much expedience acknowledging some of the other recent ones he's brought up as they did with this one
*alex blinks* your middle name is irwin? the universe must be having a hearty laugh at your expense right about now (i know what irwin and dundee are references to, but i've never heard of maximillian in any pop culture - barring pegasus from yu-gi-oh, but that obviously isn't australian)
alex: you'd have to drink it cold if you bottled it *he replies as they walk into the transporter room to be met with a seven foot tall german sheperd theriomorph wearing a nearly form-fitting silver uniform with thin armor plating of approximately kevlar plate thickness around strategic locations, the armored hunter…
alex: that would completely ruin the flavour - the idea is to have a sweet butterscotch-flavoured drink with a hint of booze, not booze with a hint of butterscotch
alex: sort of like a hot, lightly alcoholic mix of butterscotch, a touch of brown sugar and whipped cream for a head - the taste is like less sickly butterscotch as opposed to what you get if you take butterscotch straight up we also make an extra sweet version that includes some extra ingredients like sugar shrub,…
alex: not in this century, as you can easily program a replicator to leave the hops out if you want, and we primarily brew without it - butterbeer also doesn't have any, but that's not true beer
alex: well, we have the typical fare - various meats, vegetables, fruits, fish, grain, pasta, etc...same with liquor - you've got alcohol brewed with hops, potatoes, grains, some types of fruit and so on (don't ask for specifics, because i haven't actually done anything with the cuisine portion of worldbuilding outside…
alex: we don't, not really; we take already existing food and drink and give them labels more appropriate to our culture, but we don't really make our own thing - unless you consider using local flora and fauna in the creation of certain cuisine and spirits making them unique, but that's more something being unique to the…
alex: already grabbed those too - you can put them on while we're walking *he tosses the bandoleer already loaded with shotgun shells and a gun belt in dundee's direction* hopefully i managed to accurately guess your size, but these have a limited resizing ability so it shouldn't be a big issue anyway and keeping a…
one battleship was not going to change an entire war, no matter what kind of reputation it has...they lost the second they attacked the USSR, and just compounded it when hitler idiotically declared war on the united states days after pearl harbor - they had no reason to get involved beyond the lend-lease program even after…
*alex replicates several clips of ammo for the rifle and shotgun, then hands them all to dundee before heading out of the armory toward the transporter room* so while we're on the way...why don't we pick up from where we left off when we were so inconveniently interrupted (also *smacks rattler with a tuna*)
(then you were asleep for more than ten hours - quit trying to beat my record) alex: or the same way depleted uranium rounds are made - i have no idea how they are
(obviously; there's also goa'uld, asgard, tollan (what he could salvage after their homeworld was destroyed by anubis), ancient, ori, asuran, wraith and so on also, fallout weapons too) alex: something that shoots fast, because vampires are fast...and the silver thing is just as much a myth for vampires as it is for…
*alex enters the armory and motions around to walls loaded from top to bottom with just about every energy weapon known to the milky way and some ballistic ones too, as well as several styles of combat knife, both metallic and nanopulse* see if anything catches your fancy, or we can make something with the replicator…
alex: yeah, we'll be stopping by the armory - beta, take over until i get back *he addresses the wolf that was sitting to his right, who gets up and moves to the captain's chair as alex enters the turbolift while tapping his comm* greymane to rex, gear up and meet me in transporter room one
alex: so, going over it is *he turns to the comm* tala, bring the exeter out of warp so i can beam over *he turns back to dundee* wanna come along and show me what you can do?
alex: while that can work and would make sense from a logical perspective...i don't see tala agreeing to blow the ship up just to deal with ONE vampire - and neither would krystal, especially given past...issues that i can't speak about because it isn't my place to bring them up
