JFrei81495: i enjoyed it. not as fun as the dance last night, but it was enjoyable to say the least TrIsmail: Impressive, Vohan. And you didn't break my Tactical display either. Good show.

But even it can't hold a candle to how soapy it gets in my SF RES Golden Eagle e-mail Sim. TrIsmail: I for one adored DS9. Ilia tReki: Must be the insight gained by Freedom captainship... we'll just ignore the outlier of Ael... Ilia tReki: She's just weird.
