I can answer that speculation. It's no, they are on duty.
That's the story and I'm sticking to it, at least for the moment. ;)

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back. My new Samsung monitor arrived this morning and the cable adapters this afternoon. It's hooked up and working beautifully. But now my desk needs serious reorganization. One hurdle at a time.
Ooh congrats! I'm in the market for a monitor right now--gotta upgrade from this 19" thing already and expand my horizons. What model/specs did you end up getting?
I got a 19.5" Samsung from Amazon. It's as wide as the iMac screen but not as tall, which will take getting used to. Maybe at some point in the future, I'll get a 21" model.
Check the back of your 'puter - you may need an adapter for a mini display port

Oh dear, I'm a Windows gal. No wonder Kylah and Collins clash so often! :) But cool, it sounds like you've got a widescreen monitor, which should make films look nice, at least eliminating the letterboxing effect (although some people don't mind that).
you should still check to see if you need a mini adapter
True, and thanks! Really, the only problem I'd have is if my graphics card had a mini-HDMI port instead of a regular full-sized one, assuming I decided to use the HDMI cable instead of DVI. Since I'll probably be getting a new GPU at the same time as the monitor (gotta take advantage of all my new pixels!) I'll get whatever cables and/or adaptors to make sure everything fits in nicely together.
Actually I bought my system back in 2011 from a guy at the SDMB who helps out a lot in tech threads--you guys know drachillix? He built it for me, working off my tech needs and so on, and gave me a decent deal. My first ever made-to-specifications PC! I made sure at the time to get all mid- to top range parts so I wouldn't need to upgrade too soon, and it was a smart move for once. System's still great. It's only the monitor and graphics card that need updating, and the monitor was a leftover from a previous system.
Wow, this is super-boring, isn't it? Sorry.
So, even tho the monitor on the iMac crapped out, the webcam still works.

HANG ON!
That picture is hilarious, anyrose! Well done.
I have to redo the hair portion.
Jan sees Kylah and clasps his hands in joy. He runs, like a little school-girl, towards her, calling her name, "Kylah! Baby doll! Honey bunch!" :dance: :devil:

Why would Graham ask about himself?Quote:

sorry. my bad.
No prob, and thanks!
I did kinda like the idea that Graham had somehow taken over Delaney's mind.
Guys we're clearly missing something in this Hsu visit. Why are they even barging in on our meeting uninvited?
I thought Delaney invited them after he and Dobson finished scanning the transporter and conference rooms
Oh, did he? Hmm. Well, that's still suspicious--Delaney being an NPC and all. Our GM must have his reasons, right? :)
Actually, he invited Mr Hsu after finishing at the teleporter. IIRC, neither of them were invited back after the 30 minute break.
Besides Mr Hsu does need interviewing...nudge...nudge.
Oh yeah, he deffo does need the third degree, but not in front of his wife, right? Personally I (and presumably Kylah) wanted Graham to say "What's this 'we' stuff, buddy?" when Hsu said "we" need to interview Fastolfe.
It just seems odd to me that they're both there. Especially Mrs. Hsu. Putting on a fake united front? Argh, I suspect everyone and everything!
Agatha Christie would be so proud.
That would have been a smart thing to do. Too much convergence of travel + work + children's birthday parties over the past few days to have the presence of mine to come up with it darn it. :(Quote:

The distraction works for Graham's character right now anyway, so no sweat! :)
So Dobson blurts out a theory of the case in front of a suspect (and implicates a Vice Admiral while doing so), eh? She fits right in with the Yorktowns crackerjack Security department! :devil: But seriously, it's curious or maybe even suspicious that Halsey forgot, or is purposely lying, about the fact that Ebling claimed that she is still affected by the spores. Or maybe her status has changed since Graham spoke with her this morning? Interesting.
Halsey is involved, I'm sure.
Meanwhile - isn't there a Starfleeter at the research facility named Palver too? are they related?
Interesting indeed. Wonder where he got that info from?
I know, Kylah's harped on the dual Palver issue a couple of times but the general consensus has been that it's a coincidence. The Chris Palver at the station is described as human, IIRC, and businessguy is Rhaadanite or whatever it's called, so if they're related it would have to be through marriage or something genetic.Quote:

I do want to get back to the lab at some point because I see no reason they couldn't be involved in some way. Plus there was that moment w/the doctor when she seemed about to say something/disagree with her colleague, but didn't. Always was curious about that.
I dunno, but it wasn't the case during Kylah's talk with him. She specified only the correct three:Quote:

If you look back at her discussion w/him, he hadn't conducted any research or even claimed to have spoken w/any of the sporeifically-challenged guests. And unfortunately I just realized that Kylah's information re: the Halsey interview is known only to Graham and T'Var, which means Rangin doesn't know about what transpired. Crap, that was a bad omission during our gathering (unless I missed where we all debriefed each other.... racy pun not intended) once Kylah knew Rangin was going to visit the doctor. Bad Kylah!Quote:

But at least Rangin should know that Ebling wasn't on the list, right? Is he not disagreeing w/Halsey out of discretion?
Speaking of Halsey, he's certainly not holding a grudge against Starfleet due to Kylah's accusations, that's for sure. His behavior seems almost purposely cheerful and cooperative. If you do read the interaction w/Kylah, he was unconcerned and rather passive, seemingly uninterested in the failure of the spores and not doing any apparent follow-up on those guests. Now, after she called him on that curious lack of scientific curiosity for a doctor, he's suddenly doing a report on them? Hmm!
Rangin does know, but seeing as the group has been told one thing and Halsey seems to know something different, Rangin wants to know how he found out to see who might have been lied to.Quote:

Ah, gotcha. This should be enlightening!
Well I'm confused by Halsey. If he hasn't seen or heard from any of the patients who lost their spore effects, what exactly is in these reports he's looking at?
I think he's making the whole thing up. Halsey is involved somehow; maybe not the actual murderer, but certainly a co-conspirator
Oh yeah, I've been (or rather Kylah's been) working on that assumption for ages--I'm just trying to figure out what Halsey was working on that EH said, to Rangin, looked like 'normal' -- however, on second reading, it's just that he's beginning (finally) a "study protocol" so that he can belatedly start to figure out why the spores aren't working. Presumably he's finally been forced to at least look as if he's doing his job now that Kylah pretty much accused him of being either involved in the crime or a hack.
We probably shouldn't rule out hack. This is a cushy job and maybe he's just not very competent at it. Still, his behavior during Kylah's interview was cagey, and even about an hour later he's not exactly racing to look into this "strange" (as he called it) phenomenon re: the non-working spores.
I've just been confirming with EH whether Halsey mention about Ebling was a GM slip or a Dr Halsey slip. Looks like the latter :D
It's a clue! Halsey knows something!
If Dobson has any good questions, now would be the time to ask.
I realize folks may be focused on, oh, you know, solving the case...but "Constitution-class jerk?"
Anyone...anyone?
I mean it's no "were you weaned properly" but I thought it was pretty good... :LOL:
Heh--sorry, my eyes blipped over that. Yes, well done Graham. (And g_u of course.) Even with being somewhat distanced he's having some nice moments of reflection and attempts at leadership, pushing through even though it clearly doesn't come naturally to him despite his greater experience.
Before Rangin leaves, I'd be curious to know what tests Halsey plans on running. (Also curious where the other staffers are--wasn't there a nurse around before, or am I confusing that with the research facility?)
He's running tests...medical tests...special ones.
Yes, there were other staff around, who don't appear to be there anymore.
Ahh, the doctor's running medical tests--whew, I was worried he might require an essay and recitation. That explains everything! :DQuote:

No, no, no. They're all filling out their questionnaires.
Only if they're doubling as nightclub staffers (or on the night shift)! :) I don't think we gave out the questionnaires to the entire staff, just those on duty during the time in question.
He's got a zig-zag tattoo around it, like Jughead's hat?Quote:

Oh! I didn't catch that. Because Kylah just suggested all the nighttime employees (e.g. cleaning staff and others working after-hours closing down restaurants). Goodness, no wonder the place is empty!
But seriously, what's Fastolfe got that matches the rumors? Are we talking Milton Berle proportions here? Because that would at least explain his, pardon the expression, cockiness.
Arrgh, can I ask for a fix on my last post? Kylah says "last night or early this evening," but she meant "last night or early this morning." Would it be possible to edit that (or at least assume that's what she said), please?
Hey, Rangin! Do something about that impertinent employee!
I was purposefully vague. I leave it up to your own respective imaginations.Quote:
