Star Trek RPG - Setup thread

[choie]

LOl anyrose you are so on the hell express -- no stops, just straight on through.

And general, this one is really not Graham's fault. He had no idea Collins had made those nasty remarks about Kylah and her mom that led directly to Kylah's rape and thus Colllins is totally responsible for what happened.

JUST KIDDING!!!

She's only partly responsible.

I am curious to see how Graham takes the info about T'Var, not to mention the revelation that Kylah lost her mom when she was only 10. He already associates her w/Elizabeth...

[Elendil's Heir]

EH I just want some credit for living down to Graham's crappy PSI and LUCK scores

Uh, some might argue that it would be consistent with crappy PSI and LUCK that Graham fall victim to a randy Fastolfe, who slips him a mickey and has his way with him...for the record I'd like to argue that Graham's scores aren't *that* bad...

[CatInASuit]

Ouch, Rangin hit closer than I thought.

[choie]

It's wonderful how this crew is bonding by finding each other's weakest spots.

[CatInASuit]

Yup, and now Graham is just going to allow Kylah to limp around with an obviously scraped knee.

Oh grief.

[choie]

Well, in fairness, it's hardly debilitating. Every child gets a scraped knee that's magically improved by a band-aid and a kiss from mom.

Oooo 50 quatloos it'll be worth the price of admission if Rangin goes all jiggy on Graham because Kylah comes back injured

Oh man, I'd love that. But unless we're getting together very soon, it looks like Rangin and Collins will be busy with their magic cube for a while. Wait, where is Delaney during all this? I know T'Var is very very busy having tea with Halsey.

I just realized that Kylah's idea about going to the infirmary won't solve her problem about making sure the sexing-up isn't on her official medical record, so she'll have to realize this too and change her mind about going there. It'll have to wait until T'Var finally leaves the WR&R hospital.

[general_urko]

While we'e talking about popcorn and price of admission, I should say kudos to choie for upping the ante by running and falling...it was (1) totally unexpected but also (2) what needed to follow was totally clear

[Elendil's Heir]

Delany is still in the conference room, er, CP (command post), keeping an eye on the evidence and arranging for a safe to be beamed down from the ship, and then securing it.

choie mentioned Kylah's high heels - those were an option, for female Starfleet uniforms of the day, but low-heel boots were also standard issue:

[choie]

Thanks, general_urko, and good job in reacting poignantly. I don't even know why I had her fall, except it seemed like it would be the perfect cap on what's been a super mission so far.

EH I figure Kylah's used to flat sandals; even two-inch heels, which is what those look like, could be difficult if you hate anything but flats. At any rate, she needed something to blame at the moment.

Thanks for reminding me about Delaney! At least he's holding down the fort.

[anyrose]

Those are *not* two inch heels - they are one inch, maybe an inch and a quarter.

[choie]

They look most like the 1.6 - 1.8" heels to me. And geeze, why so defensive? Did you design them or something?

[anyrose]

No. I just know heel heights, having fallen off everything from a 1 inch wedge to a 4 inch spike.



eta which is why I live in sneakers

[Elendil's Heir]

There is wisdom in that.

[choie]

Is Thuvas spending his time ogling Kylah's legs or is he gonna open the bloody door?

Aw, isn't that sweet, now Rangin and Collins are mimicking each other's thoughts. So when's the wedding?

[CatInASuit]

Rangin is getting to walk around with a intelligent and good looking lady who listens to him. Why spoil it

[choie]

"Intelligent"? Cite, please?

[anyrose]

[CatInASuit]

"Intelligent"? Cite, please?

She's accepted Rangin's assistance, an intelligent move if ever there was one.

[Elendil's Heir]

[CatInASuit]

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week...try the veal.

[anyrose]

"You knew Wilson was having an affair with your wife!" Collins stands and leans forward with her palms on the table "Where were you last night?"

[general_urko]

She examines the holes in her stockings. I cannot interview anyone looking like this. With some difficulty--her hands are still raw--she pulls off her boots and removes the pair of hose altogether, dropping it in the wastebasket. Another look in the mirror and she realizes her bare legs aren't much improvement, with a growing ugly bruise on her right knee and the bandage on the left.

I must go to a gift shop and get another pair of dark stockings.

Damn! If only Graham had known...

The gift shop? Graham thinks, and perks up. "Ah, hey, can you pick up something real nice I could give to Lt. Bennett while you're there?," he says to Kylah.

[general_urko]

"Do you know anything about his social life?" Collins asks Hsu.

[choie]

The gift shop? Graham thinks, and perks up. "Ah, hey, can you pick up something real nice I could give to Lt. Bennett while you're there?," he says to Kylah.

Sure, she'll buy a gift for another staff member. That worked out really well for Kylah yesterday!

And hey Kylah did tell Graham that Mrs. Webb was in House #3.

I hope we'll all be meeting up soon. I think Graham and Kylah need to be informed about that safe (and hair evidence) and they need to tell the others about the rumors about Wilson getting fired. And T'Var needs to let us all know how the tea is in the infirmary.

[anyrose]

Hey - it still might - Collins hasn't opened the box yet

[general_urko]

And hey Kylah did tell Graham that Mrs. Webb was in House #3.

Yeah, he just wanted to chat up the security officer and see if she had anything to say about Webb - but fair enough, for the record, "despite the fact that she'd told him," etc

[anyrose]

I think Delaney or Rangin should call everyone to say "it's been two hours, folks" - whenever that may be

[CatInASuit]

Actually, once the box is out the wall, the two hours will be more or less up. Rangin commented on it in #1736.

Don't worry, someone is keeping track of time.

[Elendil's Heir]

That's good to know.

Remember, you can ask any NPC or witness multiple questions in a single post; I'll post their answers, and then you can follow up in another post.

[general_urko]

Hsu tells Collins, "He socialized a bit with the senior resort staff, but generally kept to himself. I know he was in regular touch with his wife and family, and he had some offworld friends, too, who occasionally visited. He seemed at his happiest when they were here."

"Ok, but surely you would have put the piece of sh*t down like a rabid dog if you knew he was boffing your wife, right?' Collins replies.

Just a suggestion, proceed as you see fit

[general_urko]

And she is certainly not about to request another crewmate take such trouble all for a single pair of stockings. Kylah knows she is seen as a 'princess' or spoiled brat by at least two members of the staff, and having someone sending such a small item to her--especially if Ferguson is on duty at the transporter--will not improve her reputation.

All right this grudgingly gets a handclap as in-character but definitely gets a sad because I'd bet money EH had a Ferguson up his sleeve... hilarity (or tragedy) would surely ensue...

[choie]

Hey - it still might - Collins hasn't opened the box yet

So the earrings weren't enough, but the bracelet will be the tipping point? I'll say this, Collins has a high price!

"Ok, but surely you would have put the piece of sh*t down like a rabid dog if you knew he was boffing your wife, right?' Collins replies.

Just a suggestion, proceed as you see fit

Heh, the funny thing is I don't know if this line is more in character for Collins or Graham.

All right this grudgingly gets a handclap as in-character but definitely gets a sad because I'd bet money EH had a Ferguson up his sleeve... hilarity (or tragedy) would surely ensue...

I'm hoping Ferguson's been spending the last two days telling the whole ship about Stalker!Kylah--it'd be a shame if he weren't, I mean, he defamed her in public for a reason. And oh my, what if he found out about the one-night-stand with Jan? Can't imagine how he would, but I reeeally want that to happen.

But I suspect EH's motives in having Kylah realize that about the uniform were just a GM flinging a Logic Obstacle in my path to see if I could wriggle my (or Kylah's) way past it. Gotta make us think before we act!

You forgot with my hands clasped behind my back, and rocking heel/toe on my feet

[CatInASuit]

I see him more in a high leather backed swivel chair petting a small white persian cat...while looking innocently at the ceiling and whistling.

[Elendil's Heir]

I have no cat anymore, alas, and our goofy yellow Lab would kind of spoil the effect.

[CatInASuit]

Somehow the vision of Blofeld slowly turning round to face Bond, while peering over a large Labrador on his lap that is licking the side of his face would be hilarious.

[anyrose]

[choie]

"Were any of them redheads? Where were you and your wife again?" Yep, I see Collins is indeed the soul of tact and discretion!

[Elendil's Heir]

I can't tell you how hard it is to retain the respect of your minions when that happens.

Regarding Kylah and Rangin, it's about frickin' time! Please make sure you lock the door before you go any further. You wouldn't want the rest of the crew walking in on you - or would you?

[Elendil's Heir]

WES just sent me a PM. She'll have to go on hiatus from the game for the foreseeable future, due to some work issues and her mother's poor health. I've told her she's welcome back anytime, of course. I'll run Dr. T'Var until her return, unless someone else would like to.

I know, it's about time, right? (Well, despite it only being, like, two weeks since they met, or whatever the game time is.) CIAS & I ended up taking things farther than expected, actually. As far as discretion goes, considering they've declared their affections by mere hand-kissing, I think they're probably not at the point of sweeping everything off the conference table and going at it like tribbles.

Oh man, I'm really sorry things are going roughly for you, WES. I hope everything works out and your mom's health improves. We'll miss you!!

[anyrose]

Hang in there, WES. We're all here for you.
