    Yes I know I mistyped BCDO in my latest Nia piece. Right? I keep thinking it's "Bridge Commander of the Day" instead of "Bridge Command Duty Officer." What can I say, I've watched more M*A*S*H (where they had "officer of the day") than Star Trek.

    Hey, can I ask a dumb question (one that I think my characters would already know, so I wouldn't be able to ask in-game)?

    These biosensors that keep being affected by the prototype... what the heck do they do? What are they used for?

    At a guess, I'd say identifying life forms

    As an example, Rangin was using the bio-sensors to try and locate Kylah after the assault on Anubis.

    But given the huge population, it was a proverbial needle in a haystack, which is why he switched to a magnet

    Correct - finding, identifying, studying, cataloguing, etc.

    Hope the conference goes well, general!

    Thanks for the elucidation, guys. And that's why I'm primarily playing a Communications specialist rather than a scientist.

    Have a good time at the conference, g_u.

    Damn, once again Collins has some amazing perceptive abilities that put Kylah's empathic powers to shame. I can understand her thinking that Nia and Cooper had some kind of weird issues with one another, but to immediately figure out that they were romantically involved? Too bad about that miscarriage back on OCIII, because with her mad detecting skillz I think she could've solved the Wilson murder all by herself in under a day!

    She didn't "figure it out", she's guessing based on intuition. If Cooper and Onn had been adversaries, Onn would not have please that that's who Collins is involved with. But if she said "I guess you used to date her" that sounds jealous and petty. The way she phrased it is meant to elicit information, nothing more. Y'know, like the protagonist saying something completely outrageous, to which the antagonist says "Yes! how did you know?" and the protagonist answers "You just told me"

    Glad to hear it, and welcome back.

    With WES's permission, I am sorry to have to tell you that her mom died earlier this week. Our best wishes and heartfelt condolences are with her, of course.

    Wow, Bennett kinda sucks as BCDO, doesn't she? A half-hour into her watch, she's abandoning her post to check out hot guys with swords? Clearly a gal with her priorities straight.

    I can't believe I am at the mercy of Rangin. I mean Graham is at the mercy of a PC played by the same player as Rangin.

    OK maybe I'm taking this too seriously...

    Don't worry about that, they're independent of each other. That doesn't mean Mr Johnson isn't going to have a little fun while he's at it.

    Y'all are doing great. If you can do so without rushing, let's have everyone turned in or beginning their next watch for the (ship's) night in the next couple of days, please.

    I've been a "delayer," have been on the road, will be at home and available to post starting tomorrow (Weds Pacific). I am not feeling there were any imprecations here, just disclosing I know I was off my usual routine!

    In general yes, most Vulcan's are vegetarian, however T'Var has been known to eat meat from time to time. Probably picked it up from her time in the V'Shar.

    That's also my understanding. She is quite a bit more adventurous in her cuisine than other Vulcans we've seen.

    Gee, I don't know if Collins would have, but if I were in the big chair, instead of taking notes, I'd have said "Computer - begin recording all bridge activity and sensor logs"

    Collins wakes up suddenly. She blurts out "I'm missing something exciting. There's activity of some kind on the bridge. Why was I not included?" She then flops back down and falls back asleep.

    Graham wakes up from a terrible nightmare. Nothing could be worse than losing Jane. Except....Rangin being in charge of the ship. Fortunately that will never happen, he reassures himself before going back to sleep.

    Heh. It's more like at about 1:25-1:29 (the video's cued up to just before that moment) in the best scene in one of the best films ever.
