TrIsmail: Ael tVecj: He is the USS Freedom's computer, Telar. Ael tVecj: ::smiles:: TrIsmail: oic, hann'yyo KYele: Oh, and you hafta add 356.25 days onto that, Telar. KYele: The Millenium begins January 1, 2001. TrIsmail: Don't I know abt the 2000/2001 argument! AtotrLycus: BRB. Gotta zip a big file. KYele: The bug is 2000. The millenium is 2001. TrIsmail: Sheesh everyone thinks it begins in 2000 just because of the zeroes ... TrIsmail: well almost everyone ... Ael tVecj: I don't particularly care, myself. ;) We'll all call it the 21st century, right? TrIsmail: all the 1 BC - "Year 0" - 1 AD crap ... Rawl Kvrsh: TrIs, try telling that to everyone trying to have a "millenium" baby Ael tVecj: And Year 0 is actually 4 years...:) KYele: Yep. KYele: The guy who made the Christian calendar miscalculated the birth of Jesus Christ. KYele: It really happened around 4 BC. Ael tVecj: An A sim, Rawl! Congrats! Rawl Kvrsh: It was very good TrIsmail: Oh yes, just try! Like trying to tell the Saudis to improve facilities for the Hajj ... Rawl Kvrsh: BTW, you should see the K'Tek site, I add a cool section with stellar maps Ael tVecj: Or parents to discipline their children... KYele: Ael, you really dislike kids, don't you? TrIsmail: LOL ... IRL you have any Enarrain? Ael tVecj: Eeek...I just turned 20 a few days ago... :) KYele: Ohh! Happy birthday! Ael tVecj: Hann'yyo. Rawl Kvrsh: Well it does't get any easier Ael TrIsmail: how few? We could send au a virtual Birthday Cake Rawl Kvrsh: I'm 22, my fiance wants a kid Ael tVecj: And...certain lifestyle choices will lead me to a path of no children... like, I despise Ael tVecj: children. ;) Ael tVecj: Um, 10 days. Ael tVecj: Jolan tru Malor! Malor Savk: Jolan Tru, sorry I am late! TrIsmail: JT Malor Ael tVecj: We'll wait for Eton and Sarsus, and then we'll start. Ael tVecj: Jolan tru, Eton! E trSaal: Sorry sorry sorry sorry. TrIsmail: JT Eton Malor Savk: ::nods:: JT, Ismail. Hope everyone had a good Malor Savk: week. E trSaal: I got here as fast as I could. Lost track of time at work. E trSaal: Jt everyone Malor Savk: Jt, Eton TrIsmail: As good as can be expected ... Ael tVecj: :/ Ael tVecj: Something wrong? Malor Savk: yeah, I know. I am about to go to first shift Malor Savk: and can add more sims to my schedule. any Malor Savk: suggestions? TrIsmail: Aefvadh back Ato Ael tVecj: I'm starting a new SW sim, Malor. :) Malor Savk: Ohh, sounds interesting! :) Rawl Kvrsh: So am I Ael Rawl Kvrsh: IKC K'Tek Ael tVecj: You are, Kvrsh? Oh, and join Kvrsh's sim. Rawl Kvrsh: Klingon Defense force Malor Ael tVecj: K'TeK isn't Star Wars... Rawl Kvrsh: But I have a SW sim in the works Malor Savk: I don't know any Klingon :), but i am Malor Savk: interested! Rawl Kvrsh: Cool, I'm working to get the FKA to accept the sim KYele: Ael already has plenty of SW sims. Quite a feat for someone who knows little about SW Rawl Kvrsh: <> KYele: compared to her subordinates. Ael tVecj: ::snorts at K'Yele:: Ael tVecj: Lets get started... Ael tVecj: Vaed'rae!

Eirl tKaen: ::shrugS:; okay, lets go. maybe that'll be lessdull E trSaal: What's wrong, Eirl? E trSaal: ::walks with her to the TL:: Eirl tKaen: I just feel dumb for asking. I was only asking your opinion, not for you to ask her Malor Savk: OK, I am glad none of us has ran into our Eirl tKaen: let's go Malor Savk: alternate selfs, though. E trSaal: I'm sorry... Eirl tKaen: ::trying to get him to drop it:: E trSaal: I thought asking her was the only reasonable choice. Eirl tKaen: ::glares at him, trying to make him shut up:: Eirl tKaen: haven't you heard of innitiative? E trSaal: ::shuts up, looks like he's been smacked:: Eirl tKaen: ::sighs, walks fastre:: Ael tVecj: ::waits for everyone:: Eirl tKaen: ::enters the TL:: E trSaal: Yes, but I've also heard of following orders.

KYele: The second deck, at least. KYele: This is a huge ship.. TrIsmail: ::steps onto Oira:: Eirl tKaen: ::ignores Eton, thinking he should have shut up:: Eirl tKaen: ::enters oria:: E trSaal: ::didn Malor Savk: ::exits TL:: Goes straight to tactical E trSaal: ::didn't think she had the right to make him shut up:: Ael tVecj: ::nods to K'Yele:: Indeed. Ael tVecj: Malor, set course for ch'Rihan. TrIsmail: ::looks over Security readings:: Ael tVecj: ::faces her crew::I have been reviewing the logs of this ship... Malor Savk: ::nods and sets coordinates:: Eirl tKaen: ::definitely has that right if she so chooses, as he has pointed out, must follow orders:: Eirl tKaen: ::but hadn't made him. just thinks he shoudl have:: KYele: Blast it, this will take care of things. ::locks all the doors from second deck down, Ael tVecj: We know that whatever spacial rift brought us here, it was artificially created. KYele: activates every forcefield in that area, and turns off the consoles:: Ael tVecj: However...it was not created by the Huntress. E trSaal: How do we know that? Ael tVecj: Because there are no logs concerning it. Ael tVecj: Only their surprise at finding us. Ael tVecj: So... the answers lie outside the ship. Malor Savk: Do you think we could have done it Malor Savk: accidently? Ael tVecj: We weren't doing anything out of the ordinary... E trSaal: No, I mean how do we know it was artificial? Ael tVecj: The structure was too perfect and deliberate to be natural. TrIsmail: Perhaps an alternate RES Hnoiyika? Malor Savk: Do you think someone brought us here on Malor Savk: purpose? Eirl tKaen: does that mean someone could have gone into our universe in our place? Eirl tKaen: if it was the alternate Hnoiyika? Ael tVecj: Those are all very good questions... Ael tVecj: And we need to find the answers to them. Eirl tKaen: ::mutters:: oh, all... Ael tVecj: I think our top priority is to find a way to get home. Eirl tKaen: ::nods:: Malor Savk: ::throws hands in the air:: I don't think Malor Savk: it matters much how we got here. The Malor Savk: question is how do we get back? Ael tVecj: Since no other ship was picked up on our scanners while we were being Ael tVecj: "sucked in", I would doubt another ship is in our place. Ael tVecj: ::nods to Malor:: We have to find a way. E trSaal: It does matter how we got here, because we'll probably... KYele: ::turns toward the science console where Lera is probably sitting:: Lera, study the sensor E trSaal: ...have to get back the same way. KYele: logs, see if and how we can recreate what happened. Ael tVecj: Lera> I've been going over the data, and I just don't have any idea how this was done. E trSaal: < I thought Lera was suspended form bridge duity?> KYele: E trSaal: < I thought it was form being on the bridge at all> Ael tVecj: Malor Savk: TrIsmail: Eirl tKaen: ::very surprised at seeing Lera on the bridge, smiles at her tentitively:: AtotrLycus: ACTION> A ship decloaks next to the Huntress, with marking nobody from the normal universe AtotrLycus: ACTION> can recognize.

Eirl tKaen: ::listneing, but worried about Lera:: Ael tVecj: ::frowns at the ship:: We may need a jury-rigged solution. Ael tVecj: Xena> Ie, its... well... Eirl tKaen: :::goes over to Lera on her way out:: Eirl tKaen: quick question- are the kids okay? KYele: Telar. Drop her.
