Comments

[nenat]

Issues is an apt phrasing.

Is your CMO aware of the work that needs to be done?

[vuhlkantra]

[ rude. ]

a war is not stopped in a day. The captain is still in the midst of negotiating a ceasefire, these matters do take time.

[vivify]

I thought that too! But they just don't quite manage to work.

You know I can always use your help. It's better to let someone else take off your clothes. Brings you luck!

[pelvirizor]

Uhhh. So what if, theoretically, I was stuck to something with superglue? What would you recommend using to unglue it?

[mindmeld]

except you must have used magic to keep them in the bag, as the size of your bag was not large enough to contain multiple squirrels, unless they were under 15 centimeters each.

[ he's just going to ignore the entire deer thing. ]

[audaces]

gosh i think we've been lied to all this time

gaila, my darling, you just get me you know that?

[instalock]

of course
but i suspect another one may go off soon if starfleet does not make its stance on this war clear to the public
speaking of - are you otherwise occupied tonight, commander?

[flashblack]

So I walked in on Lance crying in the showers this morning
Any idea what's going on?

[bedside]

Superglue, you say? Sorry, you're done for!

[ hehehe. ]

[trillionspots]

She is, but she could only manage to be more insistent if she was a Vulcan. ...Maybe a Klingon. Do they have medical officers, you think?

It's possible I haven't slept in three days. Maybe four? But there was a slight battle and we got damaged and now we're late for the important meeting and I was... being Captain while I should've been working on these negotiation plans.

Also, upon reflection, I have horribly neglected to ask how you are doing. I apologise, Ambassador Spock. How are you?

[wisdomwhacker]

I didn't really keep them in the bag, so much as they walked into it last time I was changing in a tree. You see the bag can hold nearly anything. I think I could manage even an elephant, though it would get a little bit heavier at that point. It's a magical bag, like it's wizardly owner.

If you come back to your rooms I can give a demonstration while the little ones continue to try to plant acorns in the metal of the ship.

[Spock, you're no fun.]

[mindmeld]

[ what. ]

Perhaps you should not change in trees so the fauna do not grow fond of your personal effects and try to hide in it. Though I am fascinated by your bag, as that sounds rather curious.

[nenat]

One suspects that yes, they have medical officers, even if just to ensure they do not need to staff their ships with new officers constantly.

Negotiations will go the way they will, even without your careful planning. Do you not have a first officer to assist with these matters?

I am satisfactory. Colony life continues apace, with much progress.

[vuhlkantra]

Threats will not work against the captain. Those who would seek to create explosions only serve to hinder the progress we are making.
How are these two issues comments related?

[mousewhisperer]

it's possible someone used the last of his conditioner. And someone else might have mentioned that we would need to make more, as it's not common out here.

[vivify]

Can you believe it? What other fashion lies gave they been feeding us?

No one understands me quite like you, Poe. When are we going dancing?

[audaces]

excellent then i can tell you about the dream i woke up from this morning about you fucking me over the hood of my jet.

that would be nice. general organa keeps sending me knowing glances even though i'm not even walking funny any more.

[pelvirizor]

Fuck.

Uh. I mean, I'm not stuck to anything, asking for future reference. No getting stuck to anything with superglue, gotcha.

There isn't like, some magical remover stuff for it?

[audaces]

who knows? maybe we should just stay naked all the time, solves that problem.

tonight? when do you get off shift?

[trillionspots]

It might, perhaps, maybe, be possible that I sent her to bed.

[The hypocrisy doesn't escape her, but everyone was tired and she was the only one who was Captain, the only one who had to remain as far as she was concerned.]

Do you really think the timeline so fixed that preparations mean little? I would hope hard work had at least some effect.

I'm glad the colony is progressing... perhaps if I ever let myself get kicked off my ship for shore leave I could come visit and offer an extra pair of hands.

[wisdomwhacker]

Why, it's not as if the tree minds. Just because I can get up and down a tree fast doesn't mean it's worth it simply to change, I was already sleeping in it anyway.

You can come examine my bag if you like.

[bedside]

[ holy cow. ]

Peter Quill, what are you superglued to right now?

[mindmeld]

It does allow for creatures to sneak into your bag, as you discovered with the squirrels.

I shall return momentarily.

[ he was going to examine it somehow. for science, obviously, not because he's interested in it or anything. ]

[mindmeld]

That is a rather explicit dream. Do you have them often?

She does seem to be aware of more than most, though from our general disheveled appearance and your walk after our return, it is unsurprising. Even my commander commented on the fact that my hair was slightly out of place and my uniform had a wrinkle.

[vivify]

Poe, that's brilliant! Think we can start a fashion trend?

I'm off at 1900 hours. So let's go an hour after that.
