The Skulking Furrier

"This Bar Chain Location is at Parses VI - Moon 11 - Royal Khanid Navy Assembly Plant An extremely out of the way bar. A total dive. But it has comfortable worn chairs and a well stocked variety of liquors and wines. A fire burns in a corner and there are tables throughout.

[ 2015.12.21 03:44:54 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote heads in from a rented hangar
[ 2015.12.21 03:47:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. She is freshly showered and scrubbed. She is wearing a khaki flightsuit.
[ 2015.12.21 03:48:07 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote nods to Luna> That was a...interesting op
[ 2015.12.21 03:48:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "A lot less eventful than I expected. Still. best to be prepared." She goes and takes a seat by the fire.
[ 2015.12.21 03:49:25 ] longshanks II > /emote strides into the Skuling Furrier, skulking himself having almost been passed over for participation as Fleet Command Links operative.
[ 2015.12.21 03:49:42 ] Vlad Cetes > Yes, it is different to engage a tower using a Vexor Navy Issue instead of our preferred Phoenix.
[ 2015.12.21 03:49:57 ] Vlad Cetes > Of course the current one took a Doomsday hit direct and was destroyed
[ 2015.12.21 03:49:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Longshanks a wry smile. "Glad you were able to catch us in the end."
[ 2015.12.21 03:50:55 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote enters, himself. He's dressed in something similar to his portrait, albeit with a spot more leather. He heads for the bar, ignoring others before finally getting there.
[ 2015.12.21 03:51:18 ] Thal Vadam > /emote enters, still in full armor from the bridge of Soren's vessel
[ 2015.12.21 03:51:40 ] longshanks II > /emote nods to Luna, "As am I, Lady Aspenstar, if only I held the proper position of armor linking. All the same, God gives us different tests--I was happy to provide skirmish and information support."
[ 2015.12.21 03:52:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes." Her eyes flicker over Zekial, then Thal. She says lightly to Thal "I know tonight was boring for you. " She adds softly "if all goes well, Tuesday will be more interesting."
[ 2015.12.21 03:52:30 ] Kador Ouryon > /emote enter the bar wearing a light combat jumpsuit. His hair is cut short along the sides and longer along the top. He wanders in just of the bridge of the TES Castigator and takes a seat by the bar.
[ 2015.12.21 03:53:03 ] Kador Ouryon > /emote ears perk up from the bar. "Perhaps it will. The operation was well run none the less."
[ 2015.12.21 03:53:16 ] Thal Vadam > /emote stands beside Kador, patting him on the shoulder
[ 2015.12.21 03:53:49 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote shakes his head> We will not be around for the final blow. We have other operations that require dealing with.
[ 2015.12.21 03:53:59 ] longshanks II > /emote mumbles something about almost being passed over entirely for linking duties, but remains silent.
[ 2015.12.21 03:54:22 ] longshanks II > /emote quirks a brow at Vlad, "We? Referring to yourself in the royal plural?"
[ 2015.12.21 03:54:51 ] Thal Vadam > "Well...That was awful, brother"
[ 2015.12.21 03:55:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly at Vlad "A pity, but perhaps Lady Lianne will make it." She looks at Longshanks II and says courteously "we do appreciate your assistance." She gets up from her seat and goes to the bar.
[ 2015.12.21 03:55:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you for joining us Milord," she says to Zeke
[ 2015.12.21 03:55:53 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote , with drink in hand, turns around in his seat to watch ongoings to himself. Well, he almost does until Luna arrives somewhat nearby. "Not a problem."
[ 2015.12.21 03:56:07 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote holds his tongue somewhat, aware that longshanks does not know what he is> You are speaking to a collective consciousness. An "AI" in human words. This unit is but one of many.
[ 2015.12.21 03:56:43 ] longshanks II > /emote tilts his head, "An avatar? How curious."
[ 2015.12.21 03:56:44 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It was my pleasure, even.
[ 2015.12.21 03:56:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I appreciate the assistance. We will need more assistance round II. The Butcher will know when to expect us this time."
[ 2015.12.21 03:57:12 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I have dealt with many monsters like him before. Clensing flame is most often a suitable treatment.
[ 2015.12.21 03:57:20 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote grunts. "And yes, such is life. I should be able to make it."
[ 2015.12.21 03:58:21 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote enters the room, quite uneventfully, dressed as she is in her portrait. She quietly shuffles up to the bar, one seat to the left of Zeke the Geek.
[ 2015.12.21 03:58:33 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote is not a geek. How rude!
[ 2015.12.21 03:59:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "A pity he is a capsuleer, Zeke."
[ 2015.12.21 04:00:42 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Quite.
[ 2015.12.21 04:00:45 ] longshanks II > /emote rises from his position and quietly makes his exit--tending to command processor recalibration always took time.
[ 2015.12.21 04:00:45 ] Vlad Cetes > Capsuleers are not immortal. Mess with the cloning data, destroy the capsuleer
[ 2015.12.21 04:00:59 ] Vlad Cetes > Or even trap it, so that it does not trigger a rebirth
[ 2015.12.21 04:01:07 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote looks to his side at Sammie. He nods in greeting, then turns back to Luna. "There are ways around, like the machine says."
[ 2015.12.21 04:01:34 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote gives Zeke a meek little wave.
[ 2015.12.21 04:01:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says sourly. "Unlikely ways."
[ 2015.12.21 04:01:56 ] Vlad Cetes > Unlikely is better than none
[ 2015.12.21 04:02:17 ] Vlad Cetes > You would have to disable his vessel and allow a team of Black Hand to board and perform the operation
[ 2015.12.21 04:02:22 ] Kador Ouryon > /emote chuckles. "Sure is."
[ 2015.12.21 04:02:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs noncommitally.
[ 2015.12.21 04:02:40 ] Sammie MacWinters > Why are we discussing murder?
[ 2015.12.21 04:02:45 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote rolls his shoulders, turning around in his seat to face the bar. He nurses at his drink, purple and undoubtedly alcoholic. "Because."
[ 2015.12.21 04:03:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am more worried at this time with the immediate issue. there could be anywhere from 10,000 to 27,000 people we need to move if we are successful."
[ 2015.12.21 04:03:17 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote shrugs> Because sending human to oblivion pays well
[ 2015.12.21 04:03:22 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote scowls at Zeke. "That's not a good reason."
[ 2015.12.21 04:04:04 ] Kador Ouryon > /emote shrugs. "You can count of us Lunarisse. Between Tempalres Vadam and I we will see those we can save rescued."
[ 2015.12.21 04:04:21 ] Zekiel Iyhr > We are not discussing the slaying of a person. The Butcher, Nauplius, is desperately in need of God's loving laser embrace.
[ 2015.12.21 04:05:02 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote shakes his head> No, no, no. Lasers are rather inefficient. Try using a graviton warhead. Liquifies soft tissue and armor plating alike
[ 2015.12.21 04:05:03 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote 's expression returns to the default "nothing". "Say that first next time."
[ 2015.12.21 04:06:06 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote doesn't give Vlad the light of day when it comes to looking towards him. "The point, machine, is not efficiency. It is nothing I think you would understand." He grunts, going back to his drink.
[ 2015.12.21 04:06:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Kador. "I am already trying to figure out who can provide the resources needed to care of them. if we are fortunate enough to have thta need."
[ 2015.12.21 04:06:19 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Regardless.
[ 2015.12.21 04:06:50 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Luna, and ... you, blonde lady. You should order something.
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:01 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I want to quietly fume.
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:03 ] Sammie MacWinters > Which blonde.
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:08 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Are you Luna?
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:19 ] Sammie MacWinters > Am I?
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:24 ] Zekiel Iyhr > No.
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:28 ] Sammie MacWinters > No.
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sure." She orders a drink.
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:36 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Then you're the blonde lady.
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:45 ] Sammie MacWinters > Sammie.
[ 2015.12.21 04:07:58 ] Kador Ouryon > "Wasn't their a small enclave that has taken care of the rescued slaves before. Can then not see to their care again."
[ 2015.12.21 04:08:24 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Sammie, then. I am Zeke. This is Lunarisse Aspenstar, a Directrix of SFRIM.
[ 2015.12.21 04:08:39 ] Sammie MacWinters > Zeke.
[ 2015.12.21 04:08:44 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Yes. That's right.
[ 2015.12.21 04:08:49 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote gives Luna a weak wave.
[ 2015.12.21 04:09:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says to Kador "Lieutenant Samira Kerner and I generally took care of their immediate needs, then repatriated to a responsible Holder."
[ 2015.12.21 04:09:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Sammie. "A pleasure, I think."
[ 2015.12.21 04:10:31 ] Kador Ouryon > "I'm more than willing to help out with their care however I can."
[ 2015.12.21 04:10:32 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote rubs her shoulder, blinks once (precisely), then nods. She turns to the bar and orders an orange Starsi.
[ 2015.12.21 04:11:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Alright."
[ 2015.12.21 04:11:41 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote has something purple. Some nonsense with schnapps and grape, apparently. He drinks until spoken to.
[ 2015.12.21 04:12:20 ] Sammie MacWinters > Zeke.
[ 2015.12.21 04:12:32 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Yes?
[ 2015.12.21 04:12:43 ] Sammie MacWinters > I've seen you before. Where.
[ 2015.12.21 04:13:41 ] Zekiel Iyhr > The first time we shut down Nauplius' tower.
[ 2015.12.21 04:13:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way over to the fire. She gazes at the flames.
[ 2015.12.21 04:14:43 ] Sammie MacWinters > I remember. I had the Typhoon class battleship.
[ 2015.12.21 04:15:35 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Yes, and I was in a borrowed Auguor cruiser.
[ 2015.12.21 04:16:00 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote grumbles. Whether it's a good or bad grumble is concealed by the alcohol content in his blood. "And she was there, too. Didn't even say hi."
[ 2015.12.21 04:16:08 ] Kador Ouryon > /emote wanders to the bar and sits down over a bottle of whiskey.
[ 2015.12.21 04:16:12 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote goes back to drinking.
[ 2015.12.21 04:16:19 ] Sammie MacWinters > She.
[ 2015.12.21 04:16:24 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Yes.
[ 2015.12.21 04:17:04 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote turns to Kador> Ouryon, answer truthfully. Can you infiltrate a disabled vessel and make it to a docked capsule and install some software?
[ 2015.12.21 04:17:26 ] Sammie MacWinters > What she?
[ 2015.12.21 04:17:39 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Someone. Do not worry about it.
[ 2015.12.21 04:18:34 ] Kador Ouryon > /emote chokes on the mouthful of whiskey. He coughs several times and then turns to Vlad. "It could be possible I suppose .... but why would I want to?"
[ 2015.12.21 04:18:42 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote turns the corners of her mouth southward slightly.
[ 2015.12.21 04:19:02 ] Vlad Cetes > Because you could install a virus into Nauplius' pod that would corrput his clones.
[ 2015.12.21 04:19:12 ] Vlad Cetes > ((*corrupt))
[ 2015.12.21 04:20:29 ] Kador Ouryon > /emote ponders the question. "Perhaps... but that would require us to locate and contain him for a set duration of time.... and if he scuttles his own vessel before the virus were able to take effect then he might escape the effects entirely."
[ 2015.12.21 04:21:02 ] Kador Ouryon > 'It's not a question of doing Vlad... it's more a matter of providence."
[ 2015.12.21 04:21:22 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote goes back to drinking. Such is life.
[ 2015.12.21 04:22:00 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote shakes his head> No, you simply install it into his brain scanner. Then if he destroys the pod, it intercepts and corrupts the clone data before passing it on. A man in the middle attack
[ 2015.12.21 04:22:00 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote sips gently at her starsi.
[ 2015.12.21 04:25:14 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote turns to observe the discussion between Vlad and Kador.
[ 2015.12.21 04:25:27 ] Kador Ouryon > /emote frowns. "Where does this kind of tech come from? I've never heard of it before."
[ 2015.12.21 04:26:35 ] Vlad Cetes > For obvious reasons it is not in production. But anyone with time and the ability to dissect a capsule can determine how to tamper with it.
[ 2015.12.21 04:26:47 ] Vlad Cetes > Along with access to the source code
[ 2015.12.21 04:27:01 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote rubs his fingers in the bribery symbol
[ 2015.12.21 04:29:33 ] Sammie MacWinters > Zeke.
[ 2015.12.21 04:29:42 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote turns back around.
[ 2015.12.21 04:29:56 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Yes?
[ 2015.12.21 04:30:15 ] Sammie MacWinters > Will you be there to bring the tower down?
[ 2015.12.21 04:30:21 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I should be, yes.
[ 2015.12.21 04:31:30 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote glares at her Starsi as if it insulted her deeply. She then decides to show it who's boss by drinking some of it.
[ 2015.12.21 04:31:54 ] Sammie MacWinters > Ok.
[ 2015.12.21 04:32:07 ] Kador Ouryon > "If you could put together such an operation and put the technolgy in my hand's I'd we willing to try."
[ 2015.12.21 04:32:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises, as if lost in thought. She disappears into the station.
[ 2015.12.21 04:33:42 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote watches this, but doesn't move to change it.
[ 2015.12.21 04:33:56 ] Sammie MacWinters > /emote totally doesn't even notice.
[ 2015.12.21 04:33:56 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote rises and turns to Kador> If we receive the funds to undertake it, we will put the technology in your hands. It will be sealed though, with proper instructions on how to use it.
[ 2015.12.21 04:34:02 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote heads out to his rented hangar

Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory
Setting: The main gathering area of the Society, the bar sports plush leather couches centered around a long coffee table. Low music plays songs from around the galaxy. The soft blue lighting is easy on the eyes, but still light enough to see what you're doing and where you're going. The shelves are filled haphazardly with bottles of spirits, clearly labeled. The whiskeys shelf label has been taped over by Freya and Lucas, each bidding for ownership. There is a shelf with rum on it, with a fresh label reading 'Alexi'. Above that, is Nicoletta's shelf, with juice mixes and exotic wine, with a few bottles of absinthe here and there. Cocktail mixers and a jar of little umbrellas wrapped with a piece of tape reading 'Gottin's Dont Touch!!' is on her shelf. A long line of bottles of Quafe are on a shelf with a "DON'T TOUCH!" sign by Rhoxy. Johanes has a shelf with brandies and cognac and a lone bottle of smurgleblaster. One shelf labeled "Lord Anderson's" has three bottles of brandy from Gallente space, along with other liquors. Another shelf labeled "Lord Tash-Murkon" has a secure black metal container with a biometric lock with a Sapidum Distillery Emblem - 'Sapidum 255' from a Khanid small batch distillery on Oris. Lunarisse's shelf has spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. New to her collection is one tall, elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Cream Liqueur, one tall elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Chocolate Liqueur, one stout, wide bottle with amarrian scroll work of Chocolate sauce with added black tea all wrapped in a secure richly coloured, dark wood box. A shelf labeled "Alizabeth" has several boxes of teas.There are a few other shelves that hold overflow for now, waiting for new corp members to claim them.
There is a Small Grey Puppy named "Quark"
Exits: Gottin's Lamp - Kitchen, Gottin's Lamp - Sleeping Area, Gottin's Lamp - Library, and Gottin's Lamp
[ 2015.12.26 04:08:57 ] David Danton > /emote enters the Lamp, datapad under his arm
[ 2015.12.26 04:10:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters from the sleeping quarters. She couldn't sleep and slips behind the bar to brew a herbal tea. She is wearing Pink Robe and Slippers /
[ 2015.12.26 04:12:00 ] David Danton > /emote smiles slightly > Good...morning, I'm guessing, Ms. Luna?
[ 2015.12.26 04:12:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "I'd say night, David. A little sleepless."
[ 2015.12.26 04:12:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sets the brew machine to working.
[ 2015.12.26 04:13:20 ] David Danton > is everything alright?
[ 2015.12.26 04:13:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Those poor people we rescued. I am not sure they will ever be alright."
[ 2015.12.26 04:14:27 ] David Danton > I see...
[ 2015.12.26 04:14:39 ] David Danton > /emote lays the datapad down on the bar
[ 2015.12.26 04:15:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "they have been brainwashed with a crippling fear of Hell and have some degree of PTSD from being a forced witness to slave sacrifices of others, their family members and friends."
[ 2015.12.26 04:16:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "most have injuries consistent with abuse, far in excess of any ordinary discipline, with scars."
[ 2015.12.26 04:16:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "some have clearly had broken limbs that were improperly set, or not set at all."
[ 2015.12.26 04:17:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "electric lashes were clearlyused and most have a serve vitoc dependency." She trails off reciting the medical report that she had received the other day.
[ 2015.12.26 04:18:26 ] David Danton > /emote gives a low, slightly pained sound, not one of personal pain, but of empathy
[ 2015.12.26 04:19:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I don't know what to do. This won't clearly resolve itself quickly, and I have had one responsible holder turn them down as 'damaged goods.'" She snorts. "As if they were a commodity instead of souls to be reclaimed."
[ 2015.12.26 04:21:00 ] David Danton > What would you do, if you could, Ms. Luna?
[ 2015.12.26 04:22:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote hears the beep, and then pours herself some tea, the boiling water right onto the tea bag. She signs.
[ 2015.12.26 04:22:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I usually strongly oppose TCMC's.... but I don't know. this may actually help these poor people."
[ 2015.12.26 04:23:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Erase the experience from their mind..." she frowns. Something inside her truly recoils at that sort of mental editing.
[ 2015.12.26 04:23:34 ] David Danton > /emote looks slightly shocked at her > I didn't realize it had effected you so deeply
[ 2015.12.26 04:24:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a seat. "It goes against everything I was taught about the Faith, both as a child and by Emerita Mithra."
[ 2015.12.26 04:24:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He's a damn blooder. Nothing more."
[ 2015.12.26 04:25:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs the bridge of her nose. "There was a story I heard about a holder who was exposed as Sani Sabik, what the military discovered after they raided his holdings."
[ 2015.12.26 04:25:57 ] David Danton > /emote sits beside her, but a respectful distance away, listening
[ 2015.12.26 04:26:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The slaves were, like these, mentally broken. Totally."
[ 2015.12.26 04:27:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They tried to repair the damage, place them with new Holders, but the way they were treated imprinted on them. Some of them began to do to others, what had been done to them, The secret Sani Sabik rituals and their perversions and torture."
[ 2015.12.26 04:27:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "At the end, the authorities on that planet concluded that they all..." she says this in a very strained voice "had to be put down, as a matter of mercy."
[ 2015.12.26 04:28:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Like one would put down..." she stammers "Well am abused dog trained to fight other dogs," She clearly looks uncomfortable at this memory.
[ 2015.12.26 04:30:14 ] David Danton > /emote looks down, letting out a long breath > Ms. Luna?
[ 2015.12.26 04:31:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her tea. "Yes, David?"
[ 2015.12.26 04:31:38 ] David Danton > I'm reminded of the Book of Missions, M'am....
[ 2015.12.26 04:32:46 ] David Danton > If you believe, as I think we both do, that all things are possible through the Lord....
[ 2015.12.26 04:33:03 ] David Danton > then, could this not be a test of faith?
[ 2015.12.26 04:35:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says sourly "God does as he wills, but at the end of the day, sometimes you just are dealing with the mess of a maniac that you need to clean up." She exhales "Still point is taken."
[ 2015.12.26 04:35:17 ] David Danton > /emote looks back up at her, slight fear in his eyes > I'd ask of you, M'am....perhaps beg of you....to not let this...demon...shake you of your faith. He'd win...
[ 2015.12.26 04:36:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "My faith is not shaken. God never promised us a universe free of sorrow or hurt or pain." She sighs "But.. I am filled with doubt as to whether we took on too much."
[ 2015.12.26 04:36:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Usually, I have sent .. his victims to Dr. Scherezad, but she is not available."
[ 2015.12.26 04:37:18 ] David Danton > /emote nods
[ 2015.12.26 04:38:03 ] David Danton > are there others?
[ 2015.12.26 04:38:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head. "Not really."
[ 2015.12.26 04:38:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Literia is more.. of a physical medical specialist."
[ 2015.12.26 04:39:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Dr. Mundsig Unfre is sadly.. deceased. he was murdered at Lord Sakikabara's ill faited carnival."
[ 2015.12.26 04:39:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "he'd have been good."
[ 2015.12.26 04:41:11 ] David Danton > /emote stares of into the distance past Luna > You could not go to the Gallente, they would not understand....even if they proclaim "rehabilitation".
[ 2015.12.26 04:43:08 ] Velarra > /emote slips casually into the lamp, making her way toward the bar..
[ 2015.12.26 04:43:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well, for now we will have round the clock spiritual and pyschological care.
[ 2015.12.26 04:43:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You may see some of them in the public areas of our offices.. be kind."
[ 2015.12.26 04:44:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think... we''' evaluate TCMC's for the worst cases...." she trails off, clearly not happy at even considering it.
[ 2015.12.26 04:44:56 ] David Danton > /emote blinks, shaking his head slightly, coming back to the present moment
[ 2015.12.26 04:45:04 ] Velarra > /emote once there, proceeded to make some hot chocolate...
[ 2015.12.26 04:45:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quiets. "Hello Velarra." She smiles slightly.
[ 2015.12.26 04:46:24 ] Velarra > /emote noting the pair smiled gently > Hello there..
[ 2015.12.26 04:46:26 ] David Danton > /emote looks back to the bar, giving a warm smile to Velarra
[ 2015.12.26 04:46:51 ] Velarra > Would either of you like some hot chocolate?
[ 2015.12.26 04:47:37 ] David Danton > ...seems an evening for it...if it'd not be too much trouble?
[ 2015.12.26 04:48:14 ] Velarra > /emote smiles and shakes her head > No trouble at all. I was just preparing some.
[ 2015.12.26 04:48:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises her tea cup "I'm fine." She smiles.
[ 2015.12.26 04:48:53 ] David Danton > thank you, then
[ 2015.12.26 04:50:02 ] Velarra > /emote once having fully prepared, and poured a cup for both herself and David, brought it over to him..
[ 2015.12.26 04:51:39 ] David Danton > /emote looks between the two for a moment, then chuckles slightly, nodding to Velarra as he takes the cup > Oh, Ms. Luna...I do need to thank you
[ 2015.12.26 04:52:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly at David "For what?"
[ 2015.12.26 04:52:48 ] Velarra > /emote gazed between the pair slowly, giving them a moment or two as she sipped a little of her warm drink..
[ 2015.12.26 04:53:06 ] David Danton > for treating me less like an Ammatar, and more like another capsuleer....it finally sunk in
[ 2015.12.26 04:53:34 ] David Danton > /emote gives a warm, if not sheepish, smile
[ 2015.12.26 04:55:27 ] David Danton > /emote takes a sip of the chocolate
[ 2015.12.26 04:55:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote saus lightly "of course, but no thanks are needed for what is your due."
[ 2015.12.26 04:57:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am glad that has finally sunk in." She gazes at David.
[ 2015.12.26 04:59:38 ] David Danton > /emote takes another sip > I'm still learning the "due" aspect of the situation, but I've been...encouraged...to start interacting with others as a capsuleer to another
[ 2015.12.26 04:59:58 ] David Danton > /emote gives a pointed glance to Velarra, but one with no malice
[ 2015.12.26 05:00:15 ] Velarra > /emote nods > We spoke earlier.
[ 2015.12.26 05:00:47 ] Velarra > /emote smiles softly with a chuckle > And i presume you didn't take the podding notion seriously, mm?
[ 2015.12.26 05:02:06 ] David Danton > which notion? Apologies, I've had a lot on my mind, I might have missed or misunderstood something.
[ 2015.12.26 05:03:22 ] Velarra > /emote gestures generally toward David with a smile > 'See.. he was being a little too .... meek ... And being too nice to me. And i'm not one for titles.
[ 2015.12.26 05:03:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Podding?"
[ 2015.12.26 05:04:23 ] Velarra > /emote chuckles at that with a genial smile > Yes..
[ 2015.12.26 05:04:25 ] David Danton > /emote chuckles > ahh, yes, so I did get this one correct....
[ 2015.12.26 05:04:45 ] Velarra > /emote points at David playfully > Good! ...
[ 2015.12.26 05:06:06 ] Velarra > /emote looks to Luna very tongue in cheek > I assure you, if he so much as bends over backwards and appologizes to me for... some matari imperfection or what not... inherent in his once human background.. I'll have his pod..
[ 2015.12.26 05:06:41 ] David Danton > /emote takes a sip, reddening slightly in embarrasment
[ 2015.12.26 05:06:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles.
[ 2015.12.26 05:07:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly "from my point of view, it's been ironed out by now." She shrugs. "Has anyone responded to your request for suggestions Velarra?"
[ 2015.12.26 05:07:44 ] Velarra > /emote looks to David a flash of almost deadcold semi-seriousness letting it hang there > .... And you think I'm kidding.....
[ 2015.12.26 05:08:13 ] David Danton > last thing on my mind
[ 2015.12.26 05:08:23 ] David Danton > /emote spoken almost a little too quickly
[ 2015.12.26 05:08:26 ] Velarra > /emote lets the moments hang there ....>
[ 2015.12.26 05:10:05 ] Velarra > /emote eventually sighs and lets it all fade before turning back to Luna with a normal sort of candor and warmth.. > Not too recently..
[ 2015.12.26 05:10:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.." she says in a friendly voice "I dropped a note in."
[ 2015.12.26 05:11:18 ] Velarra > /emote smiles cheerily, quite relaxed > Wonderful..
[ 2015.12.26 05:11:49 ] Velarra > I'll definitely spend some time reviewing your commentary.
[ 2015.12.26 05:12:59 ] David Danton > /emote hears a beep from his datapad on the bar, he looks over, confused > mmm....pardon me a moment
[ 2015.12.26 05:13:43 ] David Danton > /emote stands, moving to the bar and looking over the pad to see the reason for the beep
[ 2015.12.26 05:13:59 ] Velarra > /emote nods to David with relaxed understanding.. before looking to Luna > The books here in the kitchen have been quite helpful too.
[ 2015.12.26 05:15:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Wonderful. Althoyugh cooking with beetles can be unnerving for those not used to it"
[ 2015.12.26 05:19:02 ] Velarra > I think i've cooked for... most of the peoples of the cluster to various degrees, yet frequently they've been fusion dishes more than say, focused Amarrian. As you have here.
[ 2015.12.26 05:19:10 ] David Danton > /emote blanches slightly, reading over something
[ 2015.12.26 05:20:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly at Velarra, then glances at David out of the corner of her eye. Her eyebrows raise slightly but she does not comment, yet. "You will find Velarra, that by the nature of the Empire, much of Amarr cuisine is a fusion."
[ 2015.12.26 05:20:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But Ni-Kunni and Khanid are much more... defined."
[ 2015.12.26 05:21:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles softly "In many cases, Ni-Kunni cuisine is definitely an.. er.. acquired taste. As their food still has a definite cultural identity."
[ 2015.12.26 05:22:18 ] David Danton > /emote quietly turns off the pad, takes a drink of the chocolate to ground himself.
[ 2015.12.26 05:23:16 ] Velarra > /emote nods and smiles slightly > Which will make it something of a challenge i look forward to. I don't believe i've cooked or catered for Ni-Kunni, that i recall..
[ 2015.12.26 05:23:45 ] Velarra > At least, specifically.
[ 2015.12.26 05:24:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Perhaps we could even have a picnic in my Ni-Kinni garden..get the full experience."
[ 2015.12.26 05:25:27 ] Velarra > That would be quite the location..
[ 2015.12.26 05:25:50 ] David Danton > /emote moves back to the other two, having a seat where he was
[ 2015.12.26 05:26:13 ] Velarra > I'd wish to make certain i'd prepared something accurate and fitting of the location and occasion.
[ 2015.12.26 05:26:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's gaze lingers back to David. "Anytking interesting?" she asks lightly.
[ 2015.12.26 05:27:49 ] David Danton > well, actually, yes M'am....I just got a message from my...brother
[ 2015.12.26 05:28:00 ] David Danton > /emote shakes his head, amazed slightly
[ 2015.12.26 05:28:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Velarra. "I'd be happy to show you the gardens later."
[ 2015.12.26 05:29:07 ] Velarra > I'm certain they'd be inspirational, and thank you kindly for the offer.
[ 2015.12.26 05:29:27 ] Velarra > /emote does pause and look to David with genuine, curious interest..
[ 2015.12.26 05:29:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "A brother/"
[ 2015.12.26 05:29:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *?
[ 2015.12.26 05:30:30 ] David Danton > Yes, via Neocom no less....seems I'm not the only one that went into Capsuleer training
[ 2015.12.26 05:31:55 ] David Danton > I'm....not certian how to explain, but suffice it to say I'm surprised.
[ 2015.12.26 05:32:17 ] Velarra > /emote sips her warm drink slowly..
[ 2015.12.26 05:32:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Why? Genetic suitabiluty would suggest a strong likeliood your brother would be?"
[ 2015.12.26 05:33:34 ] David Danton > He opted not to take the test, last we spoke....that was a while ago, however
[ 2015.12.26 05:35:36 ] Velarra > The suitability testing?
[ 2015.12.26 05:37:42 ] David Danton > I believe that was the one....possibly was an aptitude test as well....I was so nervous about my own barrage of tests that I forget which one in particular he turned down
[ 2015.12.26 05:39:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see."
[ 2015.12.26 05:40:09 ] Velarra > What sort of person, is your Brother?
[ 2015.12.26 05:42:20 ] David Danton > devout, loyal to both blood and chosen family....um...He said he made it through combat training, so that says something about him, I suppose
[ 2015.12.26 05:42:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Seems talented." She muses.
[ 2015.12.26 05:44:08 ] Velarra > /emote nods at that and sips her drink > Those are noble qualities, of a sort.
[ 2015.12.26 05:44:53 ] David Danton > we joked when we were younger that he was the brawn to "my brain"
[ 2015.12.26 05:46:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "That is not unusual for siblings."
[ 2015.12.26 05:46:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "For one to compliment the strengths and weaknesses of the other." She gazes at David "Does he have employment yet?"
[ 2015.12.26 05:47:09 ] David Danton > Not that he mentioned....
[ 2015.12.26 05:48:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It might be worthwhile for me to look at him. We do have two current war decs at present, and agents have been demanding our services"
[ 2015.12.26 05:48:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Would this be an issue for you?"
[ 2015.12.26 05:49:48 ] David Danton > if it would not be for you, having two Dantons and all, I'd be fine with it
[ 2015.12.26 05:50:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "No, I suspect i can tell the two of you apart. But we'll see after I meet him" She says that tongue in cheek.
[ 2015.12.26 05:50:43 ] David Danton > /emote chuckles
[ 2015.12.26 05:51:39 ] Velarra > /emote questioned genially... > Is he as tall and handsome as yourself?
[ 2015.12.26 05:52:17 ] David Danton > /emote goes red at that
[ 2015.12.26 05:52:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her tea, hiding her mouth.
[ 2015.12.26 05:52:36 ] Velarra > /emote smiles and looks to Luna > Don't you just adore him when he blushes?
[ 2015.12.26 05:52:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles.
[ 2015.12.26 05:52:55 ] Velarra > Which reminds me...
[ 2015.12.26 05:54:20 ] Velarra > Would it be socially acceptable for David to share a dinner with your Maria? From a cultural standpoint..
[ 2015.12.26 05:55:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly. "I certainly don't object to her dining with any members of the Society." Either missing the potentially implied point, or deliberately evading it.
[ 2015.12.26 05:55:36 ] David Danton > /emote goes even redder
[ 2015.12.26 05:55:42 ] Velarra > Ah, well then.
[ 2015.12.26 05:56:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Would you like to cook dinner for David and Maria?"
[ 2015.12.26 05:56:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Put some of your new cookbooks to use?"
[ 2015.12.26 05:56:16 ] Velarra > That'd be fun.
[ 2015.12.26 05:56:24 ] Velarra > Indeed...
[ 2015.12.26 05:57:43 ] David Danton > well then, indeed...um...right then
[ 2015.12.26 05:58:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Lovely, then." She adds casually "perhaps you could invite someone else from the Society as well, such as Lord Tash-Murkon."
[ 2015.12.26 05:58:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He could stand to add a few pounds."
[ 2015.12.26 05:59:13 ] Velarra > Of course, I'll definitely reach out to him.
[ 2015.12.26 06:01:06 ] David Danton > mmm...umm...I'm almost scared to answer the question now, but schoolmates were always more fond of his looks, so I suppose yes, if not...more...so?
[ 2015.12.26 06:01:16 ] David Danton > /emote seems confused on how to answer
[ 2015.12.26 06:05:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "I meant Lord Tash-Murkon." She looks confusedly back.
[ 2015.12.26 06:06:20 ] David Danton > pardon, I was answering Velarra's question
[ 2015.12.26 06:07:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As to socially acceptable" She tilts her head slightly.
[ 2015.12.26 06:08:23 ] Velarra > Ammatar, Amarr relations, matters of station and appearance, even as pilots..
[ 2015.12.26 06:08:35 ] David Danton > the...tall and...handsome...remark, actually
[ 2015.12.26 06:09:35 ] Velarra > I'll admit to a degree of unfamiliarity. Even if one is simply being polite to social customs.
[ 2015.12.26 06:11:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The Amarr are a formal and class concious people. Even if, I as a commoner for example, am not a slave, I still need to show deference planetside or among more traditional amarr capsuleers as to rank. This does not mean they own me or can command me."
[ 2015.12.26 06:11:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "simply that respect is due as to their station."
[ 2015.12.26 06:12:12 ] Velarra > /emote nods and listens with a degree of studious, acute interest as Luna explains things
[ 2015.12.26 06:12:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Although in the Empire, many accord a great deal of deference to capsuleers. Our status.. is evolving."
[ 2015.12.26 06:12:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have a client, for example, a former slave.'
[ 2015.12.26 06:13:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yet I had a holder and an heir vie for her, due to the wealth and prestige she might bringto their families as a loyalist capsuleer"
[ 2015.12.26 06:14:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Although I suspect the Holder viewed her more as a.... " she flushes "trophy wife.'
[ 2015.12.26 06:14:33 ] Velarra > /emote nods slightly, sipping her dwindling drink before speaking > Fascinating.
[ 2015.12.26 06:15:51 ] Velarra > The Holder was a capsuleer?
[ 2015.12.26 06:16:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "No."
[ 2015.12.26 06:16:59 ] Velarra > /emote paused and gave it some thought > Oh. That would make quite the situation.
[ 2015.12.26 06:20:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes. However, he was.... an awful excuse of a human being." She flushes, uncomfortable describing a Holder as such "so we disqualified him and she is still exploring the heir candidate"
[ 2015.12.26 06:20:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "In the hopes he can provide a stable and more advantageous bloodline and class position for her children"
[ 2015.12.26 06:21:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Who, of course, are not capsuleers until they hit their majority - if they test well."
[ 2015.12.26 06:22:51 ] Velarra > Quite the environment of expectation.
[ 2015.12.26 06:23:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. "Sorry for the long winded answer." She finishes her tea and begins to look quite tired. "I think I need to rest. I'll be meeting some more specialists tomorrow about the rescued slaves."
[ 2015.12.26 06:25:52 ] Velarra > Oh? I'd be interested in knowing if i can be of any aid in that department. Yet do understand you may wish to tend to your rest..
[ 2015.12.26 06:26:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Velarra. "Yes, let's do discuss that score. Perhaps tomorrow evening."
[ 2015.12.26 06:26:31 ] Velarra > /emote nods > Sleep well.
[ 2015.12.26 06:27:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a Blessed night." She rises and departs.
[ 2015.12.26 06:35:44 ] Velarra > /emote eventually takes her leave of the lamp after cleaning up her things at the sink.

The Good Word Chat

[ 2015.12.27 13:05:25 ] Braeyon Cussier > /emote logs in. "Ave", he said and bows lightly.
[ 2015.12.27 13:05:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Good morning Mr. Cussier
[ 2015.12.27 13:06:08 ] Braeyon Cussier > Ms. Aspenstar, morning. I trust that you are well?
[ 2015.12.27 13:06:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well enough.
[ 2015.12.27 13:06:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Have we met before? She smiles slightly.
[ 2015.12.27 13:06:55 ] Braeyon Cussier > I don't believe that we have, Ms. Aspenstar.
[ 2015.12.27 13:08:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Can I help you?"
[ 2015.12.27 13:09:39 ] Braeyon Cussier > I do have a question. The Scriptures. Is it possible to get a copy? I intend to become an Acolyte of the Faith.
[ 2015.12.27 13:10:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh gosh. Well put all in one place it can take up buildings.... but for the Faith itself some of the highlights of the inspirational scriptures have been assembled into a small information file."
[ 2015.12.27 13:11:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Scriptures
[ 2015.12.27 13:11:46 ] Braeyon Cussier > And how do I acquire this.. small information file--..
[ 2015.12.27 13:11:49 ] Braeyon Cussier > Ah.
[ 2015.12.27 13:12:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > collectively, they cover almost everything Amarr, tecnology, cooking (even cookie potatoes!), faith and the like
[ 2015.12.27 13:13:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > What prompts you interest? It's fairly rare for a Gallente to show any. *she flashes an amused glance at Ms. Grace's icon, then back to Brayon's*
[ 2015.12.27 13:14:56 ] Braeyon Cussier > My father was an Amarr, although I don't know who he is. But I want to know the other part of me, which is Amarr.
[ 2015.12.27 13:15:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Commendable."
[ 2015.12.27 13:16:04 ] Braeyon Cussier > /emote nods briefly. "Thank you."
[ 2015.12.27 13:17:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well that's partly what this channel is for, so if I can help, do let me know and I'll try.
[ 2015.12.27 13:18:12 ] Braeyon Cussier > I am grateful for your assistance, Ms. Aspenstar.
[ 2015.12.27 13:21:02 ] Braeyon Cussier > One more question, whom should I talk to if I want to become an Acolyte of the Faith, a Holder or perhaps a priest?
[ 2015.12.27 13:21:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > A spiritual leader is best.
[ 2015.12.27 13:22:20 ] Braeyon Cussier > You don't happen to know one, do you?
[ 2015.12.27 13:28:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Holy Mother Alizabeth Amalath is one. There are others."
[ 2015.12.27 13:28:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'Sister Arista Shahni is another'
[ 2015.12.27 13:29:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Regrettably Cardinal Kahar Dax seems to be tied up planetside.
[ 2015.12.27 13:29:22 ] Braeyon Cussier > Arista.. I've talked to her before.
[ 2015.12.27 13:30:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She is wonderful.
[ 2015.12.27 13:30:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "For a Khanid" she adds.
[ 2015.12.27 13:30:21 ] Braeyon Cussier > Indeed she is. Heart of gold that one.
[ 2015.12.27 13:32:49 ] Braeyon Cussier > There's something wrong about her being a Khanid?
[ 2015.12.27 13:32:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Archbishop Abraxas is another *she muses*
[ 2015.12.27 13:33:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Some of the Khanid have a very different view of matters than the Amarr.
[ 2015.12.27 13:33:24 ] Braeyon Cussier > How do you mean?
[ 2015.12.27 13:35:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They don't always remember the more spiritual aspects of the Reclaiming and slavery, or other niceties of canon law from the Theology Council."
[ 2015.12.27 13:36:10 ] Braeyon Cussier > You're saying that they have more.. uhm.. heretical views of the Faith?
[ 2015.12.27 13:36:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "On the other hand, there are khanid like Sister Shahni or Commander Kley"
[ 2015.12.27 13:36:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Very devout and good people to know."
[ 2015.12.27 13:36:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I took the liberty of inviting Commander Kley just now to the feed."
[ 2015.12.27 13:37:06 ] Braeyon Cussier > I see. Welcome, Ms. Kley.
[ 2015.12.27 13:37:51 ] Arline Kley > /emote blinks a little, her hand holding the side of her head a little * ... Just.. warn me next time? *her eyes snap to the room* Good Afternoon.
[ 2015.12.27 13:39:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > This is a channel feed, no worries Commander.
[ 2015.12.27 13:39:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But yes, will do next time.
[ 2015.12.27 13:41:00 ] Arline Kley > How may I be of assistance?
[ 2015.12.27 13:42:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I was trying to explain Khanid to him
[ 2015.12.27 13:42:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > and how there are some closer to the Empire's view of the world.. and others.
[ 2015.12.27 13:43:05 ] Arline Kley > /emote nods * Quite so. We are just as faithful, and some circles, dangerously more so, than True Amarr.
[ 2015.12.27 13:46:21 ] Braeyon Cussier > What do you mean by, 'dangerously more than True Amarr', you're saying that the Khanids are more.. uhm.. like zealots or something?
[ 2015.12.27 13:47:28 ] Arline Kley > In some cases yes.
[ 2015.12.27 13:47:50 ] Arline Kley > Zealotry in its way, is not dangerous.
[ 2015.12.27 13:47:59 ] Braeyon Cussier > I see.
[ 2015.12.27 13:48:05 ] Arline Kley > How they enact their zealotry is however.
[ 2015.12.27 13:49:37 ] Braeyon Cussier > /emote nods slowly.
[ 2015.12.27 13:53:04 ] Braeyon Cussier > What hints can you give me, one who intends to be an Acolyte?
[ 2015.12.27 13:54:37 ] Arline Kley > Luna would be the better choice for that I believe.
[ 2015.12.27 13:54:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You'll want to.. er... make sure you look at the cluster through the lens of the Faith and not your prior.. cultural views. But..."
[ 2015.12.27 13:55:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We have a recent convert in the channel."
[ 2015.12.27 13:55:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Perhaps Ms. Risen might like to share her experience with you?"
[ 2015.12.27 13:56:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Being culturally Amarr from birth.. I frankly take a lot for granted I suspect..
[ 2015.12.27 13:57:30 ] Braeyon Cussier > /emote looks over at Ms. Risen.
[ 2015.12.27 13:58:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I believe she learned with Holy Mother Amalath who I mentioned earlier.
[ 2015.12.27 14:00:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You should try to look her up when she is available. She runs a bar known as The Broken Piano"
[ 2015.12.27 14:01:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Pilot Utari Onzo also recently went through the conversion process."
[ 2015.12.27 14:02:24 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote connects and grins
[ 2015.12.27 14:02:25 ] Seraphim Risen > Hello
[ 2015.12.27 14:02:37 ] Seraphim Risen > Helllllloooooooooooooo. Is it working? Oh. Yes. I see it is! Hiiiiiiiiiii!
[ 2015.12.27 14:02:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hello Ms. Risen, this is Braeyon Cussier
[ 2015.12.27 14:02:55 ] Seraphim Risen > Pleased to meet you, Braeyon!
[ 2015.12.27 14:03:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > He's looking to become an Acolyte of the faith. Since you just went through the process. I thought you might be a good person for him to talk to
[ 2015.12.27 14:03:14 ] Braeyon Cussier > /emote smiles and bows lightly. "Ave, Ms. Risen."
[ 2015.12.27 14:03:56 ] Seraphim Risen > Ave! Uh, sure.... What kind of questions can I answer?
[ 2015.12.27 14:07:05 ] Braeyon Cussier > How was the process when you became a convert and do you have any hints for someone who's becoming an Acolyte of the Faith?
[ 2015.12.27 14:17:04 ] Aurora Morgan > Hello.
[ 2015.12.27 14:18:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hello Ms. Morgan *warmly*
[ 2015.12.27 14:18:43 ] Aurora Morgan > Hello.
[ 2015.12.27 14:18:46 ] Braeyon Cussier > Ave, Ms. Morgan.
[ 2015.12.27 14:20:48 ] Aurora Morgan > I hope you are well.
[ 2015.12.27 14:21:33 ] Seraphim Risen > Well...
[ 2015.12.27 14:21:35 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote looks thoughtful
[ 2015.12.27 14:21:46 ] Seraphim Risen > The process was very patient and forgiving even though I made severe missteps.
[ 2015.12.27 14:22:05 ] Seraphim Risen > I... Those are something I'd rather not talk about in public, though. But even so. What do you mean by hints?
[ 2015.12.27 14:22:07 ] Seraphim Risen > Hints as to what?
[ 2015.12.27 14:23:26 ] Braeyon Cussier > Hints of how to be prepared for the process and what do I have to keep in mind when I'm going through the process.
[ 2015.12.27 14:24:54 ] Seraphim Risen > Weeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
[ 2015.12.27 14:24:56 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote taps her chin
[ 2015.12.27 14:25:04 ] Seraphim Risen > The biggest one is to remember that a person's faith is intensely personal.
[ 2015.12.27 14:25:15 ] Seraphim Risen > everyone has their own ways of prayer and worship.
[ 2015.12.27 14:26:21 ] Braeyon Cussier > I see.
[ 2015.12.27 14:29:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *softly* I am. Ms. Morgan, what do you research agaon?
[ 2015.12.27 14:29:43 ] Aurora Morgan > I study the topology of space.
[ 2015.12.27 14:30:48 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote nods. "That's the biggest hint I have for you. Sorry its so generic."
[ 2015.12.27 14:31:27 ] Braeyon Cussier > /emote smirks at Ms. Risen. "Any hint is a good hint. Thank you, Ms. Risen."
[ 2015.12.27 14:33:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Alright. I keep thinking yuuo are a medical doctor." She sighs.
[ 2015.12.27 14:33:43 ] Aurora Morgan > Oh... no, I don't think I could ever do that. Too much blood and things...
[ 2015.12.27 14:34:07 ] Seraphim Risen > You're thinking of Scherezad, I think, Miss Aspenstar.
[ 2015.12.27 14:34:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I miss her, and I need her."
[ 2015.12.27 14:34:37 ] Aurora Morgan > For what?
[ 2015.12.27 14:37:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'the slaves we rescued from the Butcher have suffered a tremendous amount of psychological damage, along with physical. She's the only who had success treating his victims in the past."
[ 2015.12.27 14:38:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I can't re-home them with a Holder until their immediate issues have been addressed."
[ 2015.12.27 14:38:25 ] Seraphim Risen > I.... I see.
[ 2015.12.27 14:38:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs.
[ 2015.12.27 14:39:22 ] Seraphim Risen > I am sorry to hear that. I'd have helped if I could.
[ 2015.12.27 14:39:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Right now they are being housed in temporary barracks in the Society Hangars"
[ 2015.12.27 14:39:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'With more extreme cases in our medical bay
[ 2015.12.27 14:40:27 ] Aurora Morgan > I'm no help there... sorry.
[ 2015.12.27 14:40:48 ] Aurora Morgan > I'll be back in a bit, need to check up on someone.
[ 2015.12.27 14:41:59 ] Seraphim Risen > I... I have a hospital that can physically treat them.
[ 2015.12.27 14:42:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You do?
[ 2015.12.27 14:43:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Elaborate.
[ 2015.12.27 14:43:19 ] Seraphim Risen > Yes. After the... Borkstar incident, Lyse only made me shut down the labs, not the hospital.
[ 2015.12.27 14:43:35 ] Seraphim Risen > They treat incoming victims of the ground wars in the warzone between Amamake and Huola.
[ 2015.12.27 14:44:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Perhaps I could send those with more physical versus mental ailments there..."
[ 2015.12.27 14:44:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'We plan to place them with an Ardishapurite Holder."
[ 2015.12.27 14:49:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "What is the capacity?"
[ 2015.12.27 14:50:47 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote nods. "We can host up to five thousand at a time, one and a half that if we use triage tactics."
[ 2015.12.27 14:50:54 ] Seraphim Risen > We do have basic psychological staff on hand as well.
[ 2015.12.27 14:54:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Send me the coordinates and we'll triage some out to you." She adds softly "Thank you."
[ 2015.12.27 14:55:35 ] Seraphim Risen > Siseide VIII Expert Distribution Warehouse.
[ 2015.12.27 14:55:45 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote sends some office bloc addresses. "This entire bloc became the hospital."
[ 2015.12.27 15:00:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly "That is in low security space. Moving them will require special arrangements. We'll need two blockade runners, properly fitted."
[ 2015.12.27 15:01:00 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote grimaces. "I'm sorry. I know its low security. The intent was to provide immediate help to those hurt by orbital strikes and the ground fighting."
[ 2015.12.27 15:03:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright,. Well I have one prorater. I'll letyou know when we're ready to move. in a few days Perhaps you could provide a combat escort?"
[ 2015.12.27 15:04:08 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote nods. "I have a jump clone in the area. I could go down and buy a ship."
[ 2015.12.27 15:04:25 ] Seraphim Risen > Challenge will be that I'm always a legal target. At the least I could draw fire.
[ 2015.12.27 15:08:22 ] Seraphim Risen > Given our considerable resources as capsuleers.
[ 2015.12.27 15:08:45 ] Seraphim Risen > If you give me about two days, I can have the resources moved by baseliner couriers and haulers to an empty block in Amarr territory.
[ 2015.12.27 15:08:54 ] Seraphim Risen > There's a system next tO Huola, I believe. I can check it later today.
[ 2015.12.27 15:09:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods,
[ 2015.12.27 15:09:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Let me know."
[ 2015.12.27 15:10:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I need to tend to business, Have a plessant day each of you."
[ 2015.12.27 15:10:10 ] Seraphim Risen > You as well.
[ 2015.12.27 15:10:11 ] Seraphim Risen > Braeyon, can I be of further assistance to you?
[ 2015.12.27 15:20:24 ] Seraphim Risen > Evemail me if I can help in any other ways!
[ 2015.12.27 15:20:30 ] Seraphim Risen > I've gotta go see about moving the hospital.
[ 2015.12.27 15:20:35 ] Seraphim Risen > And some of that rqeuires leaving the pod.

Location: SFRIM Offices. Chapel. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory.

Setting: The chapel is surprisingly modest, measured by the Amarrian norm. Still it is unmistakably standing in the architectural tradition of the Empire: The high rising, arched walls - which are just like the floor covered by light, gold-brown wood that fills the room with the resinous smell of pines, that intermingles with that of frankincense - meet high above the heads of visitors, pointing upwards. The only windows are at the altar site, painted artfully with scenes from Chapter I of the Epitoth in the Book of Scriptures .At the entrance small-ish side-rooms for liturgical utensils and to change into liturgical cloth for the priest and serve to delineate the entrance area against the more sacred space of the chapel.

(( Here's a floorplan of the "St. Henry’s Ecumenical Art Chapel" the description is based on.))
Exit:Gottin's Lamp - Entry Foyer
[ 2015.12.28 18:55:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. She is standing reviewing windows contemplatively. She is dressed in her Chiffon Gown with a golden headdress, her hair in an ornate braid.
[ 2015.12.28 18:58:58 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote makes her way in. Ali is in her usual Sarum coloured robe with her hair pulled back. She bows deeply in the Caldari fashion.
[ 2015.12.28 18:59:32 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Ma'am."
[ 2015.12.28 18:59:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns and curseys. She has a slight smile. "Hello, it is good to see you."
[ 2015.12.28 19:00:09 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Yes, ma'am. You as well. Compliments of the season."
[ 2015.12.28 19:00:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Likewise." She gestures for Ali to come to the front of the altar where she is standing.
[ 2015.12.28 19:01:10 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote makes her way over, a curious expression on her face.
[ 2015.12.28 19:01:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I appreciated your efforts fcing round one of the recent tower bash. I could tell you had a lot of experience in null doing it.. Frankly round 2 was anticlimatic. The real work was in round one."
[ 2015.12.28 19:01:59 ] Alizabeth Vea > "If I may be honest, ma'am, nothing there was real work."
[ 2015.12.28 19:04:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > " The 23,800 slaves we have in refugee housing in our hangars and medical bay shpw that it was God's work." She frowns slightly, her mind still awash in her negotiations and details as to their treatment and rehoming but that's not why she asked Ali he
[ 2015.12.28 19:04:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote opens her palms. There are two medals in it. "I wanted to give you two small tokens of my esteem, nonetheless."
[ 2015.12.28 19:05:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "First, is the Imperator Malleous medal for your role in the operation." She quirks a smile as she places the second in her other palm.
[ 2015.12.28 19:05:54 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote blinks. "Two medals for killing a simple tower?" She stiffens, trying to determine if it is honorable for her to refuse such an award without someone losing face.
[ 2015.12.28 19:06:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "No. For stepping up when evil needed to be dealt with, no matter how banal. It's not the towers that it's for, but for those souls affected by it."
[ 2015.12.28 19:06:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Out of the thousands of capsuleers in the cluster... only a few actually care. The Faithful."
[ 2015.12.28 19:07:22 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote nods slowly and accepts the medal. "Yes, ma'am."
[ 2015.12.28 19:07:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I appreciated your help." She hands the medal to Ali.
[ 2015.12.28 19:07:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Now the second actually has nothing to do with the Tower."
[ 2015.12.28 19:08:09 ] Alizabeth Vea > "He will run out of towers well before we run out of laser crystals."
[ 2015.12.28 19:09:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote she glances at Ali. "I hope so." She pauses, "PIE's leadership decided, and I have concurred and joined them, to commission a medal honoring the service of the four Sarum Champions." -c-
[ 2015.12.28 19:09:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Regardless of God's will, the decision was that what Lady Admiral Newelle and her retainers did was worthy of note and recognition,and yes, Honor."
[ 2015.12.28 19:10:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote holds her other palm up to Ali. "This is yours. The others have received theirs."
[ 2015.12.28 19:11:18 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote bows deeply before accepting it. "T-thank you."
[ 2015.12.28 19:12:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "We are honored to have you in the Society,"
[ 2015.12.28 19:13:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quirks slight smile "Would you be willing to accept new roles? i think your trial period as an Aspirant is good and done with if you'll accept a promotion to a full member of the Society?"
[ 2015.12.28 19:14:46 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote nods slowly. "if you think that I am worthy."
[ 2015.12.28 19:15:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I believe you are. You've been a valuable member in your short time with us. Besides the Tower, i appreciated your running agent missions and leading others for the betterment of the Empire."
[ 2015.12.28 19:16:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "In that regard, would you be willing to be our lead combat pilot designee? I can give you access to hangar 2 which can let you supply ships to others in fleets."
[ 2015.12.28 19:17:10 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote nods. "I don't think that I've really done anything of merit."
[ 2015.12.28 19:18:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It's the quiet day to day things I appreciate, to be honest."
[ 2015.12.28 19:20:14 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Also, are you sure you want to trust a Goon?"
[ 2015.12.28 19:20:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at Ali. "If you don't want the role, that's fine. But it seemed to make sense to formalize what 've been seeing as a.. defacto status."
[ 2015.12.28 19:20:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quirks a smile "I trust you." Then she chuckles "And even if I am wrong, we don't have much worth stealing anyway."
[ 2015.12.28 19:21:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flashes a mildly jesting smile at Ali.
[ 2015.12.28 19:21:50 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote smirks. "If you don't have anyone better, I guess I won't turn it down."
[ 2015.12.28 19:23:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright then. Congratulations, Satellium."
[ 2015.12.28 19:24:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote adds "that means, Bodyguard or Protector, in Old Amarr"
[ 2015.12.28 19:24:08 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Satawhat?"
[ 2015.12.28 19:24:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles.
[ 2015.12.28 19:24:59 ] Alizabeth Vea > "There are going to be people that think you're insane, you know that, given my past."
[ 2015.12.28 19:25:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rolls her eyes. "Let them."
[ 2015.12.28 19:26:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "By the way we have two active wars... against Nauplius and the others are a pack of hub campers who I expect to get bored." [[slight edit]]
[ 2015.12.28 19:27:17 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote nods. "That is going to make it difficult to to bring the Geddon back to Amarr. I do have one condition."
[ 2015.12.28 19:29:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2015.12.28 19:30:14 ] Alizabeth Vea > "I get to sleep in on Saturdays." she says in total seriousness.
[ 2015.12.28 19:30:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote barely keeps a straight then, then giggles. "Fine."
[ 2015.12.28 19:31:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright. We're all done now." She steps down and removes her headdress and rolls her neck. "God that thing is heavy." "I'd like to chat informally some time once you are settled back in. We haven't had a chance to talk much."
[ 2015.12.28 19:31:55 ] Alizabeth Vea > "I have some time now, ma'am, if it is convienent for you?"
[ 2015.12.28 19:37:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs "I wish, but I need to meet some doctors."
[ 2015.12.28 19:37:22 ] Alizabeth Vea > "I hope everything is alright."
[ 2015.12.28 19:37:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Those poor people have been badly damaged. We're moving 5,000 in a few days to a new facility. I'll be in touch perhaps when that occurs."
[ 2015.12.28 19:38:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a Blessed Day."
[ 2015.12.28 19:38:11 ] Alizabeth Vea > "You as well."
[ 2015.12.28 19:38:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exits.

Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory

Setting: The main gathering area of the Society, the bar sports plush leather couches centered around a long coffee table. Low music plays songs from around the galaxy. The soft blue lighting is easy on the eyes, but still light enough to see what you're doing and where you're going. The shelves are filled haphazardly with bottles of spirits, clearly labeled. The whiskeys shelf label has been taped over by Freya and Lucas, each bidding for ownership. There is a shelf with rum on it, with a fresh label reading 'Alexi'. Above that, is Nicoletta's shelf, with juice mixes and exotic wine, with a few bottles of absinthe here and there. Cocktail mixers and a jar of little umbrellas wrapped with a piece of tape reading 'Gottin's Dont Touch!!' is on her shelf. A long line of bottles of Quafe are on a shelf with a "DON'T TOUCH!" sign by Rhoxy. Johanes has a shelf with brandies and cognac and a lone bottle of smurgleblaster. One shelf labeled "Lord Anderson's" has three bottles of brandy from Gallente space, along with other liquors. Another shelf labeled "Lord Tash-Murkon" has a secure black metal container with a biometric lock with a Sapidum Distillery Emblem - 'Sapidum 255' from a Khanid small batch distillery on Oris. Lunarisse's shelf has spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. New to her collection is one tall, elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Cream Liqueur, one tall elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Chocolate Liqueur, one stout, wide bottle with amarrian scroll work of Chocolate sauce with added black tea all wrapped in a secure richly coloured, dark wood box. A shelf labeled "Alizabeth" has several boxes of teas.There are a few other shelves that hold overflow for now, waiting for new corp members to claim them.
There is a Small Grey Puppy named "Quark"
Exits: Gottin's Lamp - Kitchen, Gottin's Lamp - Sleeping Area, Gottin's Lamp - Library, and Gottin's Lamp

[ 2016.01.15 02:53:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says absently "Hello". She cradles her cocoa in her hands.
[ 2016.01.15 02:54:29 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Ma'am, I was hoping that one time, when you had the chance, I might be able to ask you a question about a few things?"
[ 2016.01.15 02:55:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up. She leans against the bar. "Sure."
[ 2016.01.15 02:55:43 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote pulls out a data slate. "When is open on your calander?"
[ 2016.01.15 02:56:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head. "I'll be around Nahyeen the next few days until the 17th when I need to go to Yulai for the writing contest gala
[ 2016.01.15 02:56:44 ] Alizabeth Vea > "I think that I will only need fifteen, maybe thirty minutes."
[ 2016.01.15 02:57:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ok. Just peg me.. maybe tomorrow when i am not as tired. Although..."
[ 2016.01.15 02:57:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do you have any frigates or destroyers in Mehatoor?"
[ 2016.01.15 02:57:38 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Yes."
[ 2016.01.15 02:57:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Good. I will need my Satellium this weekend and maybe 1 or 2 other pilots."
[ 2016.01.15 02:58:06 ] Alizabeth Vea > "A significant number from when I was in the 24th. Of course, that flying wound up not helping anything for the Trials."
[ 2016.01.15 02:58:17 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Of course. Mission?"
[ 2016.01.15 02:58:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I decided our Staff is overwhelmed. The slaves aren't ready to go to Holders yet. Seraphim Risen has agreed to take on 5,0000 of the more severe mental cases."
[ 2016.01.15 02:58:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *5,000
[ 2016.01.15 02:58:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We need to move them from Nahyeen to Sisiede"
[ 2016.01.15 02:59:13 ] Alizabeth Vea > "You'
[ 2016.01.15 02:59:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'I will haul. I need scouts and cover."
[ 2016.01.15 03:00:19 ] Alizabeth Vea > "You're moving slaves from High Security Amarr to low sec Minmatar? Very well. What's the transport?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:01:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Prorator. Perhaps two, if Ms. Farel can be made available. And yes, I am not happy with Ms. Risen's location."
[ 2016.01.15 03:01:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But Dr. Scherezad is... absent again and I am out of alternatives"
[ 2016.01.15 03:01:46 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Alright."
[ 2016.01.15 03:02:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you." She looks at Ali "let's talk tomorrow night, here?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:02:39 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Yes, ma'am."
[ 2016.01.15 03:03:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens. "I have an appointment in the public portion of the Lamp." She sighs. "I am so tired."
[ 2016.01.15 03:03:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smooths her dress and puts her half finished mug down and makes her way to the exit/
[ 2016.01.15 03:03:21 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Apologies for interrupting." she bows and spins on her heel to leave
[ 2016.01.15 03:03:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exits.

Location: Gottin's private residence, Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory
Setting: A long vaulted room, paneled in honey colored wood,with comfortable chairs serves as an entrance to the Lamp. Private alcoves resembling compact studio living spaces open onto the main area, separated by frosted translucent privacy panels.

[ 2016.01.15 03:04:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote extended an invitation to Zekiel. He can arrive when and how he chooses but would be guided to the main public space of the lamp.
[ 2016.01.15 03:04:58 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote will arrive in a few moments when he gets dressed and organized, the frantic man.
[ 2016.01.15 03:14:07 ] Rhoxy Runekin > A tiny camera drone no bigger than a bottlecap flits into the Lamp, settling itself on the wall.
[ 2016.01.15 03:14:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters into the public areas. She looks incredibly drained. She is wearing simple clothes and has her hair pulled back into a pony tail.
[ 2016.01.15 03:14:44 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote arrives in the main area of the Lamp, dressed in a similar suit he wore to the masquerade ball. He seems to be waiting for someone, or something of the like. In fact, he spots her. "Luna?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:15:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote her eyes flicker towards the medical bay. The room is much more crowded then usual with baseliners in medical fatigues coming to and from the medical bay and the station. Her eyes flicker back to Zekiel. -c-
[ 2016.01.15 03:15:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hi Zeke" she says with a surprising lack of formality. "Thanks for coming. I asked for some others too."
[ 2016.01.15 03:15:59 ] Aria Jenneth > /emote pads quietly in from the direction of the hangars and private captain's quarters*
[ 2016.01.15 03:16:21 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote glances over his shoulder, lips thin in a line. "That I see, fair lady. Shall I take a seat and wait, then?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:16:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head "Hello Aria." She frowns. "I am not sure if you two have met?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:17:09 ] Aria Jenneth > *she approaches the two* Salve, Directrix. Um ... we've met, but ... never in person, I think.
[ 2016.01.15 03:17:26 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote furrows his brows as he gazes upon Aria, looking her over as to search for a memory or so. "Yes, we've informally met over fluid routers."
[ 2016.01.15 03:17:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "This is Lord Lyhr." to Aria and to Zeke "This is Peregrinans Aria Jenneth"
[ 2016.01.15 03:18:39 ] Aria Jenneth > *met in person, Aria's a teeny little thing-- built like a bird and shy of five feet tall. She bows formally* Milord.
[ 2016.01.15 03:19:29 ] Aria Jenneth > *It's an Amarrian-style bow, Dam Torsad-style, reasonably well executed*
[ 2016.01.15 03:20:03 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote is a stark foil: tall, wide shouldered, burly. His voice matches his stature. He doesn't seem to care too much for the bow, for whatever reason. "It's a pleasure, miss Jenneth."
[ 2016.01.15 03:21:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *Some shouting comes from the medical bay. A flustered red-faced man calls for help with restraints, and there is a rush of personnel going into it*
[ 2016.01.15 03:22:02 ] Aria Jenneth > ...?
[ 2016.01.15 03:22:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Lunarisse looks even more drained as she sees the commotation. "Thanks for coming. I needed to talk to some trusted friends... and I have something else in mind for you Aria." *Luna again utterly skips formalities* -c-
[ 2016.01.15 03:22:39 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Yes, would you care to offer us some narrative on the matter? I'm afraid my medical training ends at crude field dressings.
[ 2016.01.15 03:23:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs. "Just come, Zeke, Aria. We don't need do anything, I am sure they have it hand. I'll explain."
[ 2016.01.15 03:24:12 ] Aria Jenneth > ... okay ... *she follows where led*
[ 2016.01.15 03:24:20 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote keeps at the tail, behind both women once they move.
[ 2016.01.15 03:24:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks tiredly over to the medical bay. Her face has the expression of someone who truly doesn't want to enter someplace again.

Location: SFRIM Offices. Medical Bay. Nahyeen VII. Zoar & Sons Factory.
Setting: The MedBay is a state of the art infirmary providing services for emergencies, long-term treatment, and general medical care. Three beds, a recovery station, an isolation room, and a surgical center are maintained for corporate personnel. Stasis chambers are installed for severe cases. At present two such chambers have a green light on. They are secured with a biometric locking mechanism. Many imprints can be stored but it appears that only two authorized users are registered.The staff is comprised of the most qualified personnel. Nurses and doctors are prepped in the intricacies of all baseline medicine. Retained on staff are specialists in Infomorphology, Nanomedicine, and Capsuleer Medicine. They are aided by the cutting edge in medical technologies. Holographic imagery and scanning equipment allow real time internal observation and treatment. The fully staffed lab provides immediate blood work, genetic analysis, foreign agent identification, and a myriad of other testing procedures. The appropriate technologies are on hand for administering nanite treatments, installing implants, and attaching/servicing prostheses. Recently installed in the facility is a soft clone imaging apparatus for corporation members to make regular backups of their consciousness for restoration in the event that they expire while outside their capsule. The server which hosts copies is kept safely offsite.The two dozen technicians, nurses, doctors, surgeons, and specialists are vetted and bound by non-disclosure agreements; along with the technologies available this makes the SFRIM MedBay an ideal medical establishment and fit even to serve as a primary care center for Capsuleers.
Exits: Gottin's Lamp - Entry Foyer
[ 2016.01.15 03:26:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *The main chamber of the medical bay is packed. Extra beds have been set on the floor and every spare niche there is*
[ 2016.01.15 03:27:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *haggered, scarred and emancipiated minmatar are on the beds. In one corner, one man is raving and is being restrained by a number of orderlies. A wall has been opened up and leads to a view of what seems almost like an endless series of bunks*
[ 2016.01.15 03:28:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *the bunks are in barracks order and filled with people. Some are in small groups with white smocked counselors. Others are just staring into space sitting, while others are sleeping or sitting on the floor engaged in simple games or quiet talks*
[ 2016.01.15 03:28:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *in short, total bedlam and a scene of quite a bit of misery*
[ 2016.01.15 03:29:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "I think we bit off more than we could chew on this one... but we are trying." She flashes a weak smile at a haggard doctor who says hello in recognition as she rushes by.
[ 2016.01.15 03:29:37 ] Aria Jenneth > ....
[ 2016.01.15 03:31:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Aria "These are the poor people we rescued from Nauplius."
[ 2016.01.15 03:31:22 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote grumbles. It comes from the back of his throat.
[ 2016.01.15 03:31:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'the slaves we rescued from the Butcher have suffered a tremendous amount of psychological damage, along with physical."
[ 2016.01.15 03:31:40 ] Rhoxy Runekin > the tiny camera drone hovers in just after Zekiel, finding a new roost high on a wall.
[ 2016.01.15 03:31:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exhales "I can't re-home them with a Holder until their immediate issues have been addressed." She looks at Zekiel.
[ 2016.01.15 03:32:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gestures at the endless rows of bunks ""Right now they are being housed in temporary barracks in the Society Hangars"
[ 2016.01.15 03:32:20 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods, mutely*
[ 2016.01.15 03:32:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "'With more extreme cases in our medical bay" Her eyes flicker over the restrained man who is now on the floor sobbng.
[ 2016.01.15 03:34:30 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote huffs, a slow controlled thing exiting his nose. "I see."
[ 2016.01.15 03:34:39 ] Zekiel Iyhr > This is worse than the last times, hm?
[ 2016.01.15 03:34:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leans against the wall in frustration. "I made arrangements with Sraphim Risen for 5,000 of the worst cases be moved this weekend but" she waves her hand
[ 2016.01.15 03:35:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Zekiel "Much worse. His tactics have gotten harsher and these people he only planned to sacrifice, not.... use"
[ 2016.01.15 03:36:14 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote sneers at the word. After a moment, he collects himself back to patient neutrality. "Where do Miss Jenneth and I fall in to this?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:36:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote clenches her fists. "I can rail at Concord all I want about him.. but I need to help these people."
[ 2016.01.15 03:36:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks Zekiel "Some of them.. believe it or not.. it's been a few weeks.... I think they can be 're-homed' with a responsible Holder who.." she exhales not sure how to phrase this
[ 2016.01.15 03:37:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Who... would accept 'damaged goods'" Her nose wrinkles at the very phrasing.
[ 2016.01.15 03:37:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens and tries to look directly at Zekiel.
[ 2016.01.15 03:37:40 ] Aria Jenneth > ....
[ 2016.01.15 03:37:53 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It... would be a spot difficult.
[ 2016.01.15 03:37:59 ] Aria Jenneth > *glances sidelong at her superior, expressionless*
[ 2016.01.15 03:38:32 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Though I am a Holder, I am not exactly the most... ah... influential. It will take me a few days, but I should be able to house these refugees for some time.
[ 2016.01.15 03:38:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They need someone.. who understands what it's like to... hit rock bottom." She says softly.
[ 2016.01.15 03:38:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright."
[ 2016.01.15 03:39:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote eyes flicker over to Aria, studying Aria.
[ 2016.01.15 03:39:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "Zeke, can you take 5,000?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:39:45 ] Zekiel Iyhr > If you would allow me some time to prepare, I should be able to, yes.
[ 2016.01.15 03:40:15 ] Aria Jenneth > *she's presently doing her best Vulcan impression. Well, Stoic, anyway.*
[ 2016.01.15 03:40:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives the slightest hint of a smile "Thank you..." she pauses not sure how to phrase this "I know your holding is not the richest.. the Society can provide funds to help until they are... productive" Her smile fades. She is not sure if he insult
[ 2016.01.15 03:40:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *she insulted him
[ 2016.01.15 03:41:40 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote is quietly clenching one fist, one away from Luna's field of vision. A technique to keep stress or anger at bay, surely. "House Iyhr first began as a sort of, ah... re-educational complex, but I believe that-
[ 2016.01.15 03:41:53 ] Zekiel Iyhr > -Medical arrangements can be made, and even working conditions for as many as I can mange."
[ 2016.01.15 03:42:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. She looks over to Aria. "That will leave us.. after the transfers.... 14,800 persons still.. not ready to be moved and needing some care."
[ 2016.01.15 03:42:46 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote is in agreement, it would seem.
[ 2016.01.15 03:43:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "Not like him... he will go Ms. Risen" Her eyes flicker over the man on the floor who is now being helped up and guided to a bed. he appears to be being sedated.
[ 2016.01.15 03:43:30 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods, still mute and expressionless*
[ 2016.01.15 03:43:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Can you tend to people as well as plants... at least for a little while?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:44:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I need eyes and ears in here. Someone to talk to them and to help the doctors."
[ 2016.01.15 03:44:43 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote cannot help but smile in the slightest. "Yes, I can tend to them."
[ 2016.01.15 03:44:51 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote glances to Aria, unsure as to whom the question is directed at.
[ 2016.01.15 03:44:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Someone to just sit with them, Aria"
[ 2016.01.15 03:45:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flickers at Zeke "I think you will have your hands full with your 5,000"
[ 2016.01.15 03:45:47 ] Aria Jenneth > *Aria frowns very slightly, and looks up at Luna* ... Directrix? Are ... you sure about that?
[ 2016.01.15 03:46:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think it might be a useful.. spiritual exercise." Her eyes seem distant and almost cool "Consider it.... a way to sojourn 'sani sabik' by seeing what results from them." She pauses. "But only if you feel you can do it."
[ 2016.01.15 03:47:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "Plants.. can be easier"
[ 2016.01.15 03:47:11 ] Aria Jenneth > I understand the intent. And I believe in ... compassion. But I'm ... not the most comforting person, all the time. And I'm not ... good at lying, even if needed.
[ 2016.01.15 03:47:23 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Then do not lie.
[ 2016.01.15 03:47:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They don't need lies. They just need a friend."
[ 2016.01.15 03:48:12 ] Aria Jenneth > *quietly* I know what he does, Directrix. This ... more or less ... matches what I'd been imagining.
[ 2016.01.15 03:49:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.. She exhales "Tamiroth tried to warn me. That he was getting worse. The slave she rescued.. was like him."
[ 2016.01.15 03:49:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Nightmares of Hell."
[ 2016.01.15 03:49:45 ] Aria Jenneth > If it's for their sake ... and there's really no one better suited to the task, I'll do as I can.
[ 2016.01.15 03:49:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "I won't order this of you. But if you can... we need everyone we can to help them."
[ 2016.01.15 03:50:32 ] Aria Jenneth > *quietly* And you believe I won't ... trouble their dreams further..
[ 2016.01.15 03:51:50 ] Zekiel Iyhr > You are spiritual in body and mind, Miss Jenneth. I've seen your words on the IGS. You will be fine, I am sure.
[ 2016.01.15 03:52:07 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Unless you try to read horrifying Sani Sabik legends and mythos as your form of helping, I believe you cannot do much harm.
[ 2016.01.15 03:53:28 ] Aria Jenneth > One ... question, Directrix. I know the answer, but ...
[ 2016.01.15 03:53:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leans back against the wall. This little chat having taken a lot out of her. She... doesn't like asking for help/
[ 2016.01.15 03:54:34 ] Aria Jenneth > If I am asked for mercy ... final peace ... I'm not to give it, of course. Only to soothe the living. Not ... to help anyone depart.
[ 2016.01.15 03:55:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. She says quietly "Yes... and... the worse cases are going Ms. Risen... i am torn. We may haveto consider something I loathe for them..."
[ 2016.01.15 03:56:21 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It is not your job to decide who lives or who dies; I agree with your request, miss Jenneth.
[ 2016.01.15 03:56:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote grinds her teeth "Ms. Risen is evaluating whether we need to use TCMC's try to... delete their memories of what that Butcher did to them."
[ 2016.01.15 03:56:34 ] Zekiel Iyhr > That will not work.
[ 2016.01.15 03:56:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Zekiel. Just looking drained. "Why?"
[ 2016.01.15 03:57:14 ] Aria Jenneth > *softly* Not a request, milord. ... *she doesn't elaborate further, letting the topic shift away*
[ 2016.01.15 03:57:19 ] Zekiel Iyhr > The memories will always come back if they're still there. They creep back down the cracks of the soul, finding their mark some way or another.
[ 2016.01.15 03:57:43 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Suppression has many faults.
[ 2016.01.15 04:01:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And here.. I thought it might be a magic wand...to hear its acolyltes trumpet its 'virtues'"
[ 2016.01.15 04:02:36 ] Zekiel Iyhr > TCMCs have ways of adjusting the present and modulating the future, but the past can never be fully replaced.
[ 2016.01.15 04:03:24 ] Zekiel Iyhr > At least, from my experience seeing them used.
[ 2016.01.15 04:03:46 ] Aria Jenneth > *murmurs something, mostly to herself*
[ 2016.01.15 04:04:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'd... I'd rather not resort to crutches if we can anyway."
[ 2016.01.15 04:06:00 ] Rhoxy Runekin > the drone lights off the wall, and meanders through the bunks.
[ 2016.01.15 04:06:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks a little more business like as she tries to rally. "Zeke, I will make arrangements to move them this weekend to you. Just send me the coordinates." She looks at Aria "And I hope we can... slowly get the remaining out over the next month."
[ 2016.01.15 04:06:51 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods wordlessly. Her eyebrows twitch*
[ 2016.01.15 04:06:56 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Yes.
[ 2016.01.15 04:09:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Shall we go?" Her lips twitch slightly. Then she forces a bright smile as another harried doctor makes his way past and she gives him a pat on the arm.
[ 2016.01.15 04:10:16 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote nods. "As soon as possible, please."
[ 2016.01.15 04:10:24 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I'll ... need data. ... but maybe not right now.
[ 2016.01.15 04:10:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "As a member of the Society, any of the medical staff will speak with you. I will make sure they know you are here in my stead when i cannot be,."
[ 2016.01.15 04:11:05 ] Aria Jenneth > *she looks around again, still grave*
[ 2016.01.15 04:11:14 ] Aria Jenneth > *... and nods*
[ 2016.01.15 04:11:50 ] Aria Jenneth > As you wish, Directrix.
[ 2016.01.15 04:12:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you both." She glances about her eyes almost expressionless in her tiredness and despair "I.. I think I am going to the bar..." she says in a flat voice.
[ 2016.01.15 04:14:03 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote nods, following her whenever she decides to leave.
[ 2016.01.15 04:14:25 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *likewise trails along, her expression pensive*
[ 2016.01.15 04:14:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exits.

[ 2016.01.15 04:16:37 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote is behind Lunarisse in a rather spiffy suit. He looks to Rhoxy.
[ 2016.01.15 04:16:41 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Am I missing something?

[ 2016.01.15 04:21:00 ] Aria Jenneth > *slowly toward the bar*
[ 2016.01.15 04:21:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs the bridge of her nose. "If you want to come you are welcome to, Zeke"
[ 2016.01.15 04:21:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote knows she doesn't need to tell Aria that. She is a member of the Society!
[ 2016.01.15 04:22:28 ] Aria Jenneth > Um. Directrix? ... I have a question, respectfully. I ... don't mind if his lordship hears, but ...
[ 2016.01.15 04:23:41 ] Aria Jenneth > *she's paused a ways outside the bar entrance*
[ 2016.01.15 04:24:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, Aria?"
[ 2016.01.15 04:24:45 ] Aria Jenneth > You ... mentioned this as "Sojourn: Sani Sabik." You do understand that I never mean to do such a thing. And not just because Samira's threatened to shoot me if I do.
[ 2016.01.15 04:25:06 ] Aria Jenneth > ... that ... is clear. Right?
[ 2016.01.15 04:25:09 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote snorts in amusement.
[ 2016.01.15 04:25:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks. She was so tired she didn't even realize she was that glib. "Oh. of course I realize."
[ 2016.01.15 04:25:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I... poor choice of words. I've been under a lot of pressure the last few weejs"
[ 2016.01.15 04:26:32 ] Aria Jenneth > ... okay. That's ... quite alright, Directrix. Thank you. And ... I apologize for misunderstanding.
[ 2016.01.15 04:26:34 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It is seen, Miss Aspenstar. You've quite the burden on your hands these past few days, if the medical bay is any indication.
[ 2016.01.15 04:27:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "Let's just get some drinks."

A wall has been opened up and leads to a view of what seems almost like an endless series of bunks.  The bunks are in barracks order and filled with people.  Some are in small groups with white smocked counselors.  Others are just staring into space sitting, while others are sleeping or sitting on the floor engaged in simple games or quiet talks.  in short, total bedlam and a scene of quite a bit of misery.

[ 2016.01.15 21:14:29 ] Aria Jenneth > /emote pads in from the entry foyer. She lightly touches a nurse's elbow, and requests a report on general status, cases requiring attention, and any special needs.
[ 2016.01.15 21:16:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *Consider a general report given.  Two specific cases are a single adult male who was subject to particular attention from Nauplius for insubordination. Another is a teenage girl whose mother was sacrified on an earlier occasion*
[ 2016.01.15 21:17:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *Lunarisse is sleeping from an early morning shift*
[ 2016.01.15 21:20:25 ] Aria Jenneth > *she then begins quietly making rounds, lending assitance or, if required, providing capsuleer authority to reallocate resources as needed. Mostly, though, she focuses on stopping to speak with those being looked after ...

[ 2016.01.16 05:27:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. The lights are dim in 'night mode'. For the most part it is quiet except for some moans and crying in the barracks area. She quietly whispers to the night nurse in the medical bay and takes in a report.
[ 2016.01.16 05:32:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens. She walks through the room and over to one of the stasis chambers. She rests a hand on it. Then after spending a few minutes gazing at the rest of the room, she departs, presumably to sleep.

MOTD: A bar at Gradient HQ station (Pator VII - RSS). It is originally nothing respectable, but having been the semi-official hangout of Gradient pilots for years has given it some prestige (and several serious upgrades in security after certain... incidents). The premises sport a bar counter with a good selection on the far wall and several tables and booths, in a cozy living-room pub environment with a carpet the color of spilled Amarrian blood. Frequented by Fleet, Militia and loyalist crews and pilots and other patriots. Those of Amarrian blood will be served, but grudgingly.
[ 2016.01.16 05:28:36 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > the Shackled Amarr... My goodness... I have not been here since...
[ 2016.01.16 05:28:41 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > /emote shakes her head

[ 2016.01.16 05:29:57 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > Oh I sure hope Ms Aspen star is OK coming here... *says to self*
[ 2016.01.16 05:30:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shimmers in. -c-
[ 2016.01.16 05:30:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is wearing a shimmering almost translucent (but not, she is Amarr after all) dress with sparkling stars and constellations, that is floor length and spills out like a puddle of molten silver around her feet. Her long hair is platinum white. -c-
[ 2016.01.16 05:30:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's hair is held together by a series of small claspes that look like planets.
[ 2016.01.16 05:31:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote becomes as solid as possible, and glances about. Her lips twitch. "It's been two years since I've been here."
[ 2016.01.16 05:31:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hello Ms. Vvoyrant."
[ 2016.01.16 05:31:53 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > /emote smiles in awe as she sees Ms Aspenstar's Holo image appear in the somewhat familliar lounge she knows little of
[ 2016.01.16 05:32:28 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > Hi Ms Aspenstar! I sure hope you are doin' awesome and stuff!! *smiles politely*
[ 2016.01.16 05:32:41 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > What do you need of me?
[ 2016.01.16 05:32:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Not especially, awesome."
[ 2016.01.16 05:32:51 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > I sure hope I can help!!
[ 2016.01.16 05:32:55 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > I really do!
[ 2016.01.16 05:33:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I need to make sure the TLF will not disrupt my convoy this weekend."
[ 2016.01.16 05:33:06 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > oh...
[ 2016.01.16 05:33:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You are aware of the Butcher?"
[ 2016.01.16 05:34:36 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > TFL ... tfl..
[ 2016.01.16 05:35:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says gently "The Matari militia"
[ 2016.01.16 05:35:56 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > /emote grumbles I think Anya is a little bit of a butcher... Is that who you are talkin' 'bout?
[ 2016.01.16 05:36:16 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > Uh?? Lit?
[ 2016.01.16 05:36:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at Shalinea. Lunarisse's hologram flickers slightly. it is being transmitted a long way.
[ 2016.01.16 05:36:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Nauplius."
[ 2016.01.16 05:37:02 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > Oh... Him! He is Gross!! I wanna punch him in the eye with a pointy stick!
[ 2016.01.16 05:37:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Good. Now that gradient is in the militia, maybe they will." She pauses.
[ 2016.01.16 05:37:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But the point..." she sighs.
[ 2016.01.16 05:37:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The 24,800 slaves we rescued from the Butcher have suffered a tremendous amount of psychological damage, along with physical. My usual medical sources are not available and while our medical bay is well equipped. the sheer numbers have overwhelmed it."
[ 2016.01.16 05:37:42 ] Literia > /emote enters the Shackled turning over several side arms. She is wearing tight leather pants and a leather jacket. Her hair is in a long french braid that reaches all the way down her back.
[ 2016.01.16 05:38:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have found someone willing to take in 5,000 of the most severe cases. She runs a mental treatment aurcology."
[ 2016.01.16 05:38:28 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > Oh! that is good! that is good right?
[ 2016.01.16 05:38:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shimmers as she turns and takes in Literia. She sighs in relief that it's .. a friendly face.
[ 2016.01.16 05:38:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It is in the warzone. Siseide"
[ 2016.01.16 05:39:36 ] Literia > /emote wanders up to the two and has a smile on her face. "Evening"
[ 2016.01.16 05:39:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "they can host up to five thousand at a time, one and a half that if we use triage tactics."
[ 2016.01.16 05:39:54 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > What do you need me to do? I dunno if I can do much... *sighs* I'm too scardy cat for fighting and nobody really listens to me.. they all call me a ... what was it they called me...?? dingbat?
[ 2016.01.16 05:40:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hello Literia. I.. am not usually in this space. In fact, I appreciate if neither of you mentioned I even came here as a hologram'
[ 2016.01.16 05:40:28 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > Oh no!! I won't say anything for Sure!!
[ 2016.01.16 05:40:35 ] Literia > /emote winks at Luna "Say what?"
[ 2016.01.16 05:40:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I don't need you to fight. I just.. well.. if people see an Amarr convoy moving through that's the Society.. it is a humanitarian one."
[ 2016.01.16 05:41:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I appreciate if Gradient.." and she looks at Literia "and the Shadow Cartel too if possible, doesn't shoot us."
[ 2016.01.16 05:41:42 ] Literia > /emote sighs "I am sorry, I cant promise that. I can promise that I wont."
[ 2016.01.16 05:42:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We have two haulers. Prorators. It's tbe most secure I can make it.. but.. still.."
[ 2016.01.16 05:42:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'it'd be a shame of the Matari militia finished the Butcher's job for him." She gazes at Shalinea.
[ 2016.01.16 05:43:31 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > When is this gonna happen? I'll make sure that I tell GRD that it is a Humanitarian thing@
[ 2016.01.16 05:43:36 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > For sure!
[ 2016.01.16 05:43:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks back at Lireria "Can I ask you if SC has assets on my route?"
[ 2016.01.16 05:43:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So we can.. readjust/"
[ 2016.01.16 05:44:06 ] Literia > /emote nods "I am not privvy to much, but I can try."
[ 2016.01.16 05:44:10 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > and if they see that stinky Nappy guy to pop him good!
[ 2016.01.16 05:44:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Good. Shalinea. I am hoping Sunday.. before I have to go to Yulai."
[ 2016.01.16 05:45:17 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > /emote looks nervous > Oh I sure hope I don't mess this up...
[ 2016.01.16 05:46:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "I am sure you won't."
[ 2016.01.16 05:46:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Just.. you didn't hear it from me. You heard it.. from medical staff with the facility."
[ 2016.01.16 05:46:46 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > /emote smile but fidgits with her fingers
[ 2016.01.16 05:47:09 ] Literia > /emote looks to Luna "What is the route? We are based out of Kurniainen right now"
[ 2016.01.16 05:47:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "it is a Matari system after all"
[ 2016.01.16 05:47:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Likely through Huola to Sisiede"
[ 2016.01.16 05:47:53 ] Literia > I would avoid Sisiede, Dead Terrorists still live there."
[ 2016.01.16 05:48:09 ] Literia > But Shadow Cartel does not have assets in either of those systems.
[ 2016.01.16 05:48:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Literia.. that's the problem."
[ 2016.01.16 05:48:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The facility is there."
[ 2016.01.16 05:48:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So I am trying to ,.,. minimize my other worries."
[ 2016.01.16 05:48:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The Society is blue to most of the Amarr militia."
[ 2016.01.16 05:48:57 ] Literia > /emote nods her head
[ 2016.01.16 05:49:10 ] Literia > Perhaps you can get a escort by some of them?
[ 2016.01.16 05:49:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have my combat pilots if need be. But yes, perhaps we may contact PIE. But that also .. well guarantees hostile action if we run into the Matari militia"
[ 2016.01.16 05:49:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So I want to try to stay neutral for this flight"
[ 2016.01.16 05:50:01 ] Literia > That is true.
[ 2016.01.16 05:51:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exhales. "Well. thank you both for listening to me."
[ 2016.01.16 05:51:08 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > I'll try and wake up Early that day if you want! I can like do some recony stuff in my Helios and look for danger if you want!!
[ 2016.01.16 05:51:11 ] Literia > Anytime Luna
[ 2016.01.16 05:51:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Any help you can give as indicated is appreciated." She looks at Shalinea "That would be lovely."
[ 2016.01.16 05:51:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But i don't know the time yet. We'll see"
[ 2016.01.16 05:51:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The facility promised to alert me when they thought it'd be.. propitious to make the move"
[ 2016.01.16 05:51:52 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > I'd sure like to help!! Its Important!!
[ 2016.01.16 05:53:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curtseys. "Good night"
[ 2016.01.16 05:53:15 ] Literia > What do you need from the facility? I can get in and out no problem in Sis.
[ 2016.01.16 05:53:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They have the room and staff for long term care of 5,000 mental patients with physical ailments as well"
[ 2016.01.16 05:54:18 ] Literia > /emote nods "Do they need supplies?"
[ 2016.01.16 05:54:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I was able to.. er... re-home another 5,000 who rrecovered fairly quickly. Our medical bay - which Literia kindly provided some time ago - and hangars canhandle the remaining. But thw worst cases need to go to Siseide"
[ 2016.01.16 05:55:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Water, food, medicine I'd imagine. Maybe toys and dolls for the children."
[ 2016.01.16 05:55:18 ] Literia > Do you want me to do the drop?
[ 2016.01.16 05:55:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, that would be wonderful. Contract to Seraphim Risen, the facility's director."
[ 2016.01.16 05:56:12 ] Literia > Alright, I will see what I can do.
[ 2016.01.16 05:56:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you, both." She shimmers, her signal is breaking up. "I think it's time for me to go."
[ 2016.01.16 05:56:53 ] Literia > /emote nods her head
[ 2016.01.16 05:57:00 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > Bye Ms Aspenstarr!! so nice to see you again!!
[ 2016.01.16 05:57:09 ] Shalinea Vyvorant > Say "Hi" to Maria for me!
[ 2016.01.16 05:57:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shimmers into a sparkle of dazzling stars and comets which fade into nothing.

[ 2016.01.17 17:10:13 ] Utari Onzo > Yes, well, I have actually been meaning to speak with you on what assistance I can provide. I only knew about the operation from Aria's post you see.
[ 2016.01.17 17:10:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. at this point, 5000 are going to long term care with ms. Risen. Another 14,800 to another facility for long term case and 5,000 to a trusted holder."

[ 2016.01.17 17:21:05 ] Utari Onzo > Consider it done Mrs Daphiti.
[ 2016.01.17 17:21:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "Thank you."
[ 2016.01.17 18:01:16 ] Utari Onzo > [Multiple Items] (Item Exchange) Mrs Daphiti, the required materials have arrived.
[ 2016.01.17 18:52:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you."
[ 2016.01.17 19:15:56 ] Literia > /emote reconnects > Afternoon
[ 2016.01.17 19:22:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hello Literia.
[ 2016.01.17 19:26:58 ] Aurora Morgan > Good afternoon.
[ 2016.01.17 19:27:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How are you two? *flatly as if by rote*
[ 2016.01.17 19:27:44 ] Aurora Morgan > I'm fine, thank you. I hope you are well too?
[ 2016.01.17 19:27:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs.
[ 2016.01.17 19:29:11 ] Aurora Morgan > Something is... n-not right?
[ 2016.01.17 19:29:12 ] Literia > I am well, just getting ready for the Gala.
[ 2016.01.17 19:32:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh. Yeah. The Gala." She says that blankly. "Yes, I must be there."
[ 2016.01.17 19:33:27 ] Literia > Are you alright Lady Daphiti?
[ 2016.01.17 19:34:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Just.. dealing with the issue." She gives Literia a meaninful glance.
[ 2016.01.17 19:34:50 ] Literia > Ahh, alright.
[ 2016.01.17 19:34:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It makes the gala almost seem .. frivolous. But i am sure the show must go on and all that."
[ 2016.01.17 19:37:09 ] Aurora Morgan > What issue?
[ 2016.01.17 19:37:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "the resolution of what to do with the slaves we recently rescued. At this point, it's been sorted.. it's a matter of getting it all done."
[ 2016.01.17 19:39:18 ] Aurora Morgan > Oh...
[ 2016.01.17 19:40:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "the vast majority,.. well.. to say are mentally broken is kind."
[ 2016.01.17 19:40:27 ] Literia > If any of them wish to be returned to the Republic I can arrange transport. If it is needed.
[ 2016.01.17 19:41:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says politely and neutrally "I will remember that. What is appreciated are supplies."
[ 2016.01.17 19:41:44 ] Literia > Who do donations go to? To purchase supplies?
[ 2016.01.17 19:42:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Seraphim Risen, who relocated the facility to Mehatoor, is the one who needs it most."
[ 2016.01.17 19:42:28 ] Literia > Alright.
[ 2016.01.17 21:16:26 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote logs in> Evening all
[ 2016.01.17 21:18:19 ] Sid Afraldir > Hi.
[ 2016.01.17 21:19:02 ] Vlad Cetes > Hello Sid
[ 2016.01.17 22:54:06 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote smirks> PFR *shakes head*

Cafe Marlinea - Mehatoor - 24th IC StationThe Cafe is on the main boulevard of the capsuleer community district in the 24th Imperial Crusade station in the Mehatoor system. The front of the cafe is furnished in a toned down Gallentean fashion. The small pavement stones have been implanted in front of the cafe with holodisplays to give the appearance of an outside countryside cafe.The scents from the cafe linger on the outside, fresh coffee mixed with Gallentean and Amarrian pastries. The establishment mixes the finer points of Gallente and Amarr culture immaculately together. There are four tables in front of the cafe, set with dayshades and two chairs each.Inside of the cafe is a similar mix of gallente and amarr culture and architecture. The inside houses a one corner set with two leather couches and a table between them. the sales counter is in the middle of the cafe. One can peek over the counter through the small window to the kitchen and see the bakers busy at work. There are five tables set with four seats each in the main area and on the sides two smaller seated tables.A constant flow of customers creates a lively atmosphere. The music on the background is mainly Gallente swing style music
[ 2016.01.17 18:32:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. She is dressed in her flight outfit. Her hair is damp as if freshly washed. She takes a seat and orders a coffee.
[ 2016.01.17 18:34:20 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote frumpy grumps in, hands shoved deep into his pockets, his outfit reminiscent of Gallente bad boy movies. He moves to Luna - she's not hard to find with that bright hair - and takes a seat next to her. "Evening."
[ 2016.01.17 18:34:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hi Zeke". She rubs the bridge of her nose.
[ 2016.01.17 18:37:42 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Hey.
[ 2016.01.17 18:37:47 ] Zekiel Iyhr > How are things? The arrangements?
[ 2016.01.17 18:38:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They are coming along. I have 5,000 of them here to deliver to ms. Risen. For long term care." She pauses and adds "... very long term care."
[ 2016.01.17 18:40:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I don't think they'll ever be usable by anyone. I.. had someone tell me I should euthanisize them."
[ 2016.01.17 18:41:40 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote grunts. "I refuse to consider the option."
[ 2016.01.17 18:41:48 ] Zekiel Iyhr > There are always ways, albeit difficult.
[ 2016.01.17 18:43:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I pray to God and his angels that is so."
[ 2016.01.17 18:45:29 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote grunts. He removes his hands from his pockets, rubbing his nose as well. "Such a mess."
[ 2016.01.17 18:45:36 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I know not what must be done with the Butcher.
[ 2016.01.17 18:45:41 ] Zekiel Iyhr > No clue as to how.
[ 2016.01.17 18:45:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "it is. Death is too kind to him."
[ 2016.01.17 18:46:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I.. I want to peel his skin off him while he alive. Regenerate it, and start over."
[ 2016.01.17 18:46:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says that very flatly, in a voice void of affect.
[ 2016.01.17 18:47:33 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote shakes his head. "There are more refined tortures that can be afflicted upon such a beast."
[ 2016.01.17 18:47:43 ] Zekiel Iyhr > We will figure them, in time, though we've not a plan to subdue him first.
[ 2016.01.17 18:48:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "That's the key. PIE and Maria and Tamithroth blow him up constantly."
[ 2016.01.17 18:48:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yet he continues."
[ 2016.01.17 18:48:42 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Destroying him is not the way. He must be obtained.
[ 2016.01.17 18:49:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As long as he is a capsuleer, I don't think that's going to be possible."
[ 2016.01.17 18:50:36 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote purses his lips. "There are always ways."
[ 2016.01.17 18:53:06 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Capture, sedation, removal of select implants, then recloning as a fresh body, among things.
[ 2016.01.17 18:53:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "If I could I'd send Templar Vadam after him." She stares at Zekiel. "What do you mean ways?"
[ 2016.01.17 18:56:20 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I recall a discussion I once had with an acquaintence of mine. We discussed some theories on the possibilities of subduing and taking Sansha as prisoners, and the methods therein.
[ 2016.01.17 18:56:30 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I imagine the process is similar for a Capsuleer, and even a bit easier.
[ 2016.01.17 18:57:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her coffee. Her eyes remain neutral.
[ 2016.01.17 18:58:10 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It is simply a matter of assuring the Capsuleer is unawares they are being taken captive until their imprisonment and thus, their fate, is secure.
[ 2016.01.17 18:58:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He keeps asking Maria.. and me.. to tour his gardens."
[ 2016.01.17 18:58:36 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Removal of countermeasure implants is required, like cortex bombs and other such brain destroying matters.
[ 2016.01.17 18:58:45 ] Zekiel Iyhr > In addition to other communique methods.
[ 2016.01.17 18:58:54 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I do not suggest going, personally.
[ 2016.01.17 18:59:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have always declined. I pray Maria does as well."
[ 2016.01.17 18:59:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Still.."
[ 2016.01.17 18:59:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Does this present a possible way to take him captive?"
[ 2016.01.17 19:00:40 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Mayhaps. I suggest acquiring a team of special operatives who are skilled in exfiltration of targets, among things.
[ 2016.01.17 19:01:02 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It is a very delicate matter. I am sure the Butcher has plenty of safeguards in place to expedite the termination of any kidnap plot.
[ 2016.01.17 19:23:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs. "I have more immediate issues."
[ 2016.01.17 19:23:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Erm.. Are you ready for me to deliver your 5,000 yet?"
[ 2016.01.17 19:24:50 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Yes.
[ 2016.01.17 19:25:01 ] Zekiel Iyhr > The preparations are made.
[ 2016.01.17 19:25:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Wonderful. What system are your holdings in?"
[ 2016.01.17 19:29:34 ] Thal Vadam > /emote steps into the cafe, dressed in black robes over a suit of armor
[ 2016.01.17 19:29:36 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Tzvi.
[ 2016.01.17 19:29:54 ] Zekiel Iyhr > The only "temperate" planet in the system, if one has the gall to even consider it so.
[ 2016.01.17 19:31:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly. She simply nods wordlessly at Zeke She flashes Thal a quick smile.
[ 2016.01.17 19:33:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright. Once I offload from here, we can move yours to Tzvi."
[ 2016.01.17 19:34:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Why do you doubt it should be considered temperate?"
[ 2016.01.17 19:34:58 ] Thal Vadam > /emote orders himself a tea
[ 2016.01.17 19:38:36 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Ah, it is just...
[ 2016.01.17 19:38:57 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It barely meets expectations, yes? Somewhat lucious, though those areas are heavily uncolonized.
[ 2016.01.17 19:39:16 ] Zekiel Iyhr > My Holdings take mostly along the edges of the oceans, on a sizable island within them.
[ 2016.01.17 19:40:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh. That sounds nice actually..."
[ 2016.01.17 19:43:15 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It can be.
[ 2016.01.17 19:43:19 ] Zekiel Iyhr > The wildlife is vicious.
[ 2016.01.17 19:43:54 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Our main export is cephalopod meats, in a variety of species. The squids in our waters have sharp protrusions lining their tentacles, as it is how they catch and devour the sizable fish in our seas.
[ 2016.01.17 19:44:08 ] Zekiel Iyhr > As such, falling into the depths whilst on a fishing excursion proves fatal, most often.
[ 2016.01.17 19:44:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Any worth hunting? Oh..." She glances over to Thal "Do you want to join us."
[ 2016.01.17 19:45:11 ] Thal Vadam > /emote glances at Luna, his armor clinking "If that world not trouble you..."
[ 2016.01.17 19:45:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs 'Not at all.'
[ 2016.01.17 19:46:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks back at Zeke "I guess recreational fishing and surfing are out?" She says deadpan.
[ 2016.01.17 19:46:51 ] Zekiel Iyhr > In our lengthiest reaches of House Iyhr's history, there were yearly challenges in which a few select slaves could compete with one another in an attempt to win glory for their family and, as such, better treatment.
[ 2016.01.17 19:47:07 ] Zekiel Iyhr > It was encouragement for slaves to train and become better fishermen than typical work allowed, and was good for morale.
[ 2016.01.17 19:47:14 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Oh, fishing and surfing are still "in."
[ 2016.01.17 19:47:22 ] Thal Vadam > /emote approaches Luna and her associate, not sitting down for hear of breaking the chair
[ 2016.01.17 19:47:36 ] Zekiel Iyhr > On the western reaches of the Holding, the populations of dangerous aquatic life are very low.
[ 2016.01.17 19:48:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sounds like something you should continue..."
[ 2016.01.17 19:50:43 ] Zekiel Iyhr > We do, though in other fields. My mother, a witch of a woman, attempted to quell it once she acquired quite a bit of power once my father and my two brothers passed.
[ 2016.01.17 19:51:12 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Now that she is being removed from the picture - thanks to advice from someone - I will see about introducing it once more. Something more civilized, though.
[ 2016.01.17 19:52:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns and straightens slightly "Sportfishing is quite civilized. it challenges the mind and the body and puts you in tune with the sea."
[ 2016.01.17 19:53:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Rather than eating processed food, it reminds you where God's bounty comes from and puts you closer to it," She adds "But that's just my opinion."
[ 2016.01.17 19:55:55 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Oh, I do not disagree.
[ 2016.01.17 19:56:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And you Templar?"
[ 2016.01.17 19:56:23 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I mean, competitive sportfishing with a very high risk of death. Though, sponsoring championships is quite historic, hm?
[ 2016.01.17 19:56:28 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote shuts his mouth for a bit.
[ 2016.01.17 19:56:52 ] Thal Vadam > /emote glances at Luna "Hmm?"
[ 2016.01.17 19:59:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Fishing" she adds flatly. "Have you ever engaged in sportfishing?"
[ 2016.01.17 20:00:30 ] Thal Vadam > /emote shakes his head, though it seems his mind in his occupied "Not for sport. But I fished for food during my Templar Trials"
[ 2016.01.17 20:01:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks back at Zekiel. "Well.. I think it's still a good idea." She shrugs.
[ 2016.01.17 20:02:37 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote smiles.
[ 2016.01.17 20:03:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Maybe you could show me.. after I drop them off?"
[ 2016.01.17 20:04:44 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I would not mind.
[ 2016.01.17 20:05:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "good. I'll have something to look forward to."
[ 2016.01.17 20:07:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns as her datapad chirps "I need to .. get ready and travel to Yulai."
[ 2016.01.17 20:07:29 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Alright.
[ 2016.01.17 20:07:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The writing contest. I completely forget."
[ 2016.01.17 20:07:39 ] Zekiel Iyhr > Good tidings, fair lady.
[ 2016.01.17 20:07:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you." She looks at both "You are welcome to come if your schedule permits'
[ 2016.01.17 20:07:58 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I may not be able to arrive. As I said, I am busy uprooting all the decay my mother has sewn into my Holdings.
[ 2016.01.17 20:08:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ah yes." She nods as she rises.
[ 2016.01.17 20:08:35 ] Zekiel Iyhr > I look forward to your visit. Mayhaps be smarter to plan it further along the calendar than today if your schedule is hectic, but soonest is best.
[ 2016.01.17 20:08:57 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "I shall my Lady"
[ 2016.01.17 20:09:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exits.
[ 2016.01.17 20:10:50 ] Zekiel Iyhr > /emote heads out, as well.
[ 2016.01.18 01:16:48 ] Seraphim Risen > /emote is munching a big sandwich after leaving the venue earlier, having changed out of her tux into the pictured clothes

Location: SFRIM Offices. Chapel. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory.

[ 2016.01.17 16:26:13 ] Velarra > /emote sat in a pew near the entry to the chapel. Quietly reading from a bound book while sitting next to a datapad. She wore her pictured black attire, and kept to a quiet serene posture peacefully reading, occasionally turning a page.
[ 2016.01.17 16:27:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. She is wearing a plain White Linen Dress and sandals. Her hair is pulled back into a pony tail. She looks harried and frazzled. She doesn't notice Velerra right away as she makes her way into the chapel.
[ 2016.01.17 16:29:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quietly stands looking at the pictures of the Epitoth story. Her hands clench and unclench. She exhales.
[ 2016.01.17 16:29:23 ] Velarra > /emote looked up and slowly watched the Directrix enter before speaking. Her tone was level yet not overly loud, offering the chapel a certain respect and reverence of sorts > Lunarisse..
[ 2016.01.17 16:30:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns, slightly startled but due to Velarra's soft words, not especially so. "Oh. Hello Peregrinans."
[ 2016.01.17 16:31:50 ] Velarra > /emote regarded the Directrix with an eye of concern > How are you?
[ 2016.01.17 16:33:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sits on the edge of the pew. "Honestly.. tired." she says in a flat voice.
[ 2016.01.17 16:34:35 ] Velarra > /emote nods slightly > The rescued slaves you mentioned during the mining fleet, or something else?
[ 2016.01.17 16:35:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The slaves. They are in bad shape for the most part."
[ 2016.01.17 16:35:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs the bridge of her nose 'I'd hope to quickly turn them over to some reputable holders but... the Butcher..." she trails off.
[ 2016.01.17 16:36:49 ] Velarra > /emote nods and frowns slightly > So you find yourself overwhelmed by them, mmm?
[ 2016.01.17 16:37:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Most of them are emotionally and mentally broken. Many have physical injuries." She nods slightly.
[ 2016.01.17 16:37:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We... have found a home for 5,000 of the more resilient ones. Another 5,000 who we triaged out as being.. indefinitely in need of care are being sent to a long-term care facility in Siseide with Seraphim Risen..."
[ 2016.01.17 16:38:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The others.." she sighs. "Remain."
[ 2016.01.17 16:39:47 ] Velarra > /emote offered Luna the datapad its screen having timed off ... > I've dealt with them in the past..Given my eye to humanitarian interests.
[ 2016.01.17 16:40:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes the datapad. She looks at Velerra.
[ 2016.01.17 16:40:52 ] Velarra > Particularly the logistics of supply, housing and occupational therepy.
[ 2016.01.17 16:41:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You've dealt with those handled by the Butcher before?"
[ 2016.01.17 16:41:49 ] Velarra > Permission to speak freely and perhaps offend?
[ 2016.01.17 16:42:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I doubt I can be offended at this point."
[ 2016.01.17 16:42:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Speak freely"
[ 2016.01.17 16:44:35 ] Velarra > Ever slave has value upto anywhere from few hours after to at most a day from passing. ... The Empire's markets are full of slaves of all variety. No not all can be sold to holders but many have interest in the human trade for various reasons.
[ 2016.01.17 16:45:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote simply gazes.
[ 2016.01.17 16:45:16 ] Velarra > Between that deep end and the fine fortune it is to have a slave living with a liberal holder. People need to be moved or put down.
[ 2016.01.17 16:45:56 ] Velarra > Do you know where the empire sells its damaged goods? Those reaching EoL yet perhaps still a decade away from it?
[ 2016.01.17 16:46:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. Not entirely happy to be hearing all this but too tired to be further upset.
[ 2016.01.17 16:46:49 ] Velarra > The Angels offer them places.
[ 2016.01.17 16:46:57 ] Velarra > And buy them...
[ 2016.01.17 16:48:34 ] Velarra > Their futures from that point are ... one of a few paths - One little better than in the empire, worse... or, honestly better than the empire... and in some cases. They get to live. Truly.
[ 2016.01.17 16:48:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exhales. "Well. That's not a direction I wish to go. I... want us to do the right thing by these people."
[ 2016.01.17 16:49:13 ] Velarra > All of this either way requires special handling. The care, rehabilitation of damanged goods. It's a particular niche.
[ 2016.01.17 16:49:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "<By my lights.. anyway
[ 2016.01.17 16:49:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes."
[ 2016.01.17 16:49:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I can.. see that aspect of it.. now."
[ 2016.01.17 16:49:52 ] Velarra > If you wanted them in the hands of people who would appreciate the condition they are in, have dealt with it in the past..
[ 2016.01.17 16:50:15 ] Velarra > As ... Nauplius..? He is nothing new. Perhaps a known pilot who has taken that path..
[ 2016.01.17 16:50:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "he is far worst then even the worst Holder. And yes, there are horrible Holders, even many of them."
[ 2016.01.17 16:51:06 ] Velarra > But the sabik.. the sansha.. They all leave their mark on the cluster's people.
[ 2016.01.17 16:51:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quiets again.
[ 2016.01.17 16:51:54 ] Velarra > The rescued slaves from those? Need special care... to be useful, productive members of any normal society
[ 2016.01.17 16:52:16 ] Velarra > At which point they do become valuable commodities.
[ 2016.01.17 16:52:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Yes, I was told by one holder.. who declined.. that these people are 'damaged goods'"
[ 2016.01.17 16:53:36 ] Velarra > /emote nods > Yet some poeple buy them because they see the value to both themselves and the people they purchase.. Perhaps some were once slaves themselves..
[ 2016.01.17 16:53:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exhales. "if for argument's sake I ... allowed you to send them to your contacts. What would the cost be for the rehabiliation."
[ 2016.01.17 16:54:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "14,800 of them..."
[ 2016.01.17 16:55:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And would they be returned to me to .. er... re-home" she says euphemistically "once the work is done."
[ 2016.01.17 16:56:22 ] Velarra > mmm.
[ 2016.01.17 16:56:45 ] Velarra > No cost.
[ 2016.01.17 16:57:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And the latter question?"
[ 2016.01.17 16:59:30 ] Velarra > /emote frowns > As for re-homing and return, it's hard to say. You've mentioned TCMC's...People, humans... baseliners, they need time. Each case is different. I could lie to you, give you a figure. Put you off about how busy things are..
[ 2016.01.17 16:59:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote eyes aren't particularly inquisitive or filled with life.
[ 2016.01.17 17:00:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I want to know they won't be sold. That they will either remain and be treated, or returned."
[ 2016.01.17 17:00:12 ] Velarra > When one doesn't use artificial means.. the process isn't a matter of cooking things to a particular time.
[ 2016.01.17 17:01:07 ] Velarra > /emote nods > That i can assure you.
[ 2016.01.17 17:01:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have already arranged for the truly worse cases..."she sighs "But even those who aren't would be considered almost irretrievably broken by most."
[ 2016.01.17 17:02:37 ] Velarra > Humans are unique. When you treat them humanely, .... as individuals? ... As living, breathing souls? Things become possible.
[ 2016.01.17 17:03:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2016.01.17 17:03:19 ] Velarra > But you don't treat them as "slaves"....
[ 2016.01.17 17:03:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "No. That is some time away for any of them."
[ 2016.01.17 17:04:26 ] Velarra > But as people. Individuals with potential for self actualization... independance. Anything else? Only crushes the soul...slowly like a poison. Creates dependance.
[ 2016.01.17 17:04:54 ] Velarra > As children... but leashed.
[ 2016.01.17 17:04:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well. We'll disagree there. In the Empire slaves do have a lot of autonomy, More than most realize."
[ 2016.01.17 17:05:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "To a degree, most of us are subjects of someone, no matter where." she sighs. "But that's not the debate I am wanting right now."
[ 2016.01.17 17:06:05 ] Velarra > /emote nods > I know. You and i only answer to concord.
[ 2016.01.17 17:06:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote adds lightly "And in my mind, also to God for me." She nods, however.
[ 2016.01.17 17:06:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'd expect it'd take you some days to make arrangements?"
[ 2016.01.17 17:08:23 ] Velarra > /emote nods > Yes. I'd have to speak with my ... dear friend. But i'm sure she'd be able to help with it.
[ 2016.01.17 17:11:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. "I want your word. They don't get sold."
[ 2016.01.17 17:12:14 ] Velarra > By Utopia i swear it. None will be sold.
[ 2016.01.17 17:12:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I.. want them back someday" she says quietly.
[ 2016.01.17 17:13:13 ] Velarra > /emote nods > I understand.
[ 2016.01.17 17:14:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exhales. "Thank you."
[ 2016.01.17 17:14:52 ] Velarra > /emote looks over to Luna thoughtfully > I had.. question. Yet it can wait.
[ 2016.01.17 17:15:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs. "go ahead and ask."
[ 2016.01.17 17:15:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sounds very fatalistic, almost defeated.
[ 2016.01.17 17:16:09 ] Velarra > The ... view on Sacred Flesh. Within the empire. How do you see it? Why does it exist?
[ 2016.01.17 17:17:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It exists because otherwise, the heirarchy, the heirs, would never die and there would be eternal intrique. An Emperor or Empress needs to have no peers. That is also why the Emperor Family exists. it also allows for new blood, and new ideas to rise
[ 2016.01.17 17:18:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'When the new heirs are announced, usually with decades to form themselves fully as persons."
[ 2016.01.17 17:18:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "that is also why there is ritual suicide of the heirs."
[ 2016.01.17 17:18:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "they.. are tied together"
[ 2016.01.17 17:19:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Although some in the Empire wonder about the effects of cloning on those not subject to Sacred Flesh, ordinary holders."
[ 2016.01.17 17:20:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Will their heirs suffer from ennui, will it promote intrique and dissent?"
[ 2016.01.17 17:20:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'If they know they may never succeed their parents?"
[ 2016.01.17 17:20:45 ] Velarra > Why is a capsuleer frowned on for the position?
[ 2016.01.17 17:21:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "All of the Heirs are - or were - capsuleers. What is frowned upon is cloning,"
[ 2016.01.17 17:23:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "the marriage of the two. That is what Sacred Flesh prohibits."
[ 2016.01.17 17:24:31 ] Velarra > /emote nods slowly > May i ask a personal question?
[ 2016.01.17 17:25:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles bleakly "Why not?"
[ 2016.01.17 17:26:04 ] Velarra > Maria is your daughter by natural, biological birth?
[ 2016.01.17 17:26:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes."
[ 2016.01.17 17:27:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She is my youngest and my only daughter."
[ 2016.01.17 17:29:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly "Why?"
[ 2016.01.17 17:30:14 ] Velarra > Maria was euthanized, as are most modern pilots as the final stage of capsuleer training...
[ 2016.01.17 17:30:37 ] Velarra > Or anyone who jumps from their first clone, prior to the era where that was changed.
[ 2016.01.17 17:30:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. "Yes"
[ 2016.01.17 17:31:20 ] Velarra > She's not, quite, your maria, is she?
[ 2016.01.17 17:31:43 ] Velarra > As at that point, there is a fork.. mmm?
[ 2016.01.17 17:32:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She is. The essence of who she is is still there. Her soul." She frowns "Although the Theology Council hasn't weighed in, I concur with Father Azmith's theory of the soul and capsuleers"
[ 2016.01.17 17:33:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exhales. "I.. suspect you have no idea what that is."
[ 2016.01.17 17:34:13 ] Velarra > His theory? No. I can only suspect...
[ 2016.01.17 17:34:23 ] Velarra > Nor do i know the Father.
[ 2016.01.17 17:34:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There are 4 competing theories among the theologians... primary ones anyway."
[ 2016.01.17 17:35:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You might hear Lieutenant Kerner call capsuleers monsters. She subscribes to those who believe when the original person is dead, The soul is then judged and goes to heaven or oblivion as the case may be, The clone is.. a meat puppet."
[ 2016.01.17 17:36:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "essentially running on programming created by the original person, but not the person, and as not someone with a soul."
[ 2016.01.17 17:36:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Literally, in that view.."
[ 2016.01.17 17:37:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We are undead abominations of science, soul-less nothings who were made with the possible saacrifice of our original souls for the good of all."
[ 2016.01.17 17:37:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at Velarra.
[ 2016.01.17 17:38:09 ] Velarra > /emote listens quietly and offers an understanding look > Mmhmm...
[ 2016.01.17 17:39:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "the next view is a little simplistic, but posits that Each clone is a separate being, and goes to their judgment at death solely based on what they have done in thier short life."
[ 2016.01.17 17:39:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The problem with that, of course, is the continuity of self, the infomorph."
[ 2016.01.17 17:40:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "This is the least popular theory for that reason. Seems to be most feel there is another no soul or its somehow linked to the original person."
[ 2016.01.17 17:40:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > the third theory, which is Father Azmith's...
[ 2016.01.17 17:41:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "is that the soul is connected to the mind - the infomorph which is an expression of the person's personality and being - by an unbreakable thread, and carries over from one clone to another, "
[ 2016.01.17 17:42:05 ] Velarra > /emote nods > One line.
[ 2016.01.17 17:42:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > even if not completely intact (this takes into account the fact that a person's personality and memories change slightly each death, until......you degenerate enough to become some null-sec goon type, barely human or your line ends and you face judgme
[ 2016.01.17 17:42:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.01.17 17:43:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The last theory, is most commonly asserted by Sir Aldrith Shutaq"
[ 2016.01.17 17:43:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "is a variant of the third."
[ 2016.01.17 17:44:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It's a shard theory. That each clone is a seperate person and has a 'shard' of a soul. On the last day, or the day of judgment,all the shards merged are judged on their collective weight."
[ 2016.01.17 17:44:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Obviously, the actual answer is not knowable to us. I suspect this is why the Theology Council has not weighed in..."
[ 2016.01.17 17:45:13 ] Velarra > Should we eternally retain sovereinty over our very being. As begun from where the line began? Aside from our answering to Concord. Or God, if we are people of faith.
[ 2016.01.17 17:45:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But to me God, - whether he be seen as Loving or as a Strict Judge would want the soul to continue to provide reward or punishment at the end of the days."
[ 2016.01.17 17:45:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Velarra.
[ 2016.01.17 17:46:57 ] Velarra > Which is to say.... It is you, I, concord and god. And absolutely nothing else, that should have right or claim to it?
[ 2016.01.17 17:48:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As a capsuleer? Yes, although i defer to Nicoletta Mithra for the finer theological points. I.. tend to stumble over fine hairs, if that analogy even works."
[ 2016.01.17 17:49:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But umm.. as for Maria"
[ 2016.01.17 17:49:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "i try not to think too hard about it, but i.. am content she is she."
[ 2016.01.17 17:51:05 ] Velarra > /emote nods at that and sighs > But yes. As a capsuleer. We may not be gods. while we, ... are what we are. Nothing should have those rights.
[ 2016.01.17 17:51:37 ] Velarra > Aside from ... concord or god, as you'd say.
[ 2016.01.17 17:52:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Without either constraint, I'd tremble"
[ 2016.01.17 17:52:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises. "Velarra.. thank you for your.. offer of assistance. I need. to run to Mehatoor with the 10,000 I already made arrangements for."
[ 2016.01.17 17:52:42 ] Velarra > Take care.
[ 2016.01.17 17:55:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quiet;y "you too." She glances at the Tableux of pictures, then exits.
[ 2016.01.17 17:56:02 ] Velarra > /emote bowed her head to Luna and returned to reading in the pew.

Welcome to The Golden Masque!Please read both of the descripive links below (last updated 2013/7/20):> The Golden Masque Extended Description> The Golden Masque Rules & InformationFor the literature reading event, the Golden Masque's spherical holofield has been deactivated. In its stead, the central platform has been extended, with tasteful plum and burgandy-colored curtains hanging around its edge, converting the area into a warmly-lit, lounge-like space with a number of of comfortable chairs surrounding a raised platform adorned with a plush chair or podium depending on the preferences of the reader. The regular seating area has been cordoned off for the duration of the event, and aside from selected station officials and other invited parties, the Masque has been closed to general traffic.A temporary bar has been set up to one side of the platform, serving a range of Amarrian wines and other alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Waitstaff make their way throughout with a mix of hors d'oeuvres, retrieving empty glasses as needed and as desired. Pleasant music is being played by a string ensemble on the other side of the platform, opposite the temporary bar." by Lunarisse Aspenstar.
[ 2016.01.17 20:17:39 ] Aurora Morgan > /emote walks in early, she looks around to see if someone else is there.
[ 2016.01.17 20:20:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. She looks tired, but her hair is put together and she is wearing a formal creme colored gown, as the hostess.
[ 2016.01.17 20:20:50 ] Utari Onzo > /emote wanders in not long after, with three dogs in tow. One, an Akita pup perhaps a year or two old. She has brown top fur, white under belly and a black muzzle. The other two, clearly brother and sister, are scruffy black mongrels around the same age
[ 2016.01.17 20:20:53 ] Utari Onzo > as the first.
[ 2016.01.17 20:21:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's eyes look blank, then a smile actually quirks one of her lips as she sees Utari's entourage. "I was unaware dogs were literary enthusiasts, Captain Onzo?'
[ 2016.01.17 20:21:56 ] Utari Onzo > /emote notices the other two, and gives a curteous bow of his head, first to the host, then to Aurora. "Salve, Mrs Daphiti, Ms Morgan."
[ 2016.01.17 20:22:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "hello as well ms. Morgan."
[ 2016.01.17 20:22:46 ] Aurora Morgan > H-hello.
[ 2016.01.17 20:22:56 ] Utari Onzo > /emote cracks a grin at Luna's comment. "I like to take my dogs where I can to social events. I'm not able to stay too long, but I like them getting accustomed to people and crowds. Keep them sociable for when I have guests."
[ 2016.01.17 20:23:15 ] Aurora Morgan > /emote hides a bit from the dogs behind Luna.
[ 2016.01.17 20:23:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "That is good. Dogs need to be properly socialized." She glances at Aurora. "Are you ok?"
[ 2016.01.17 20:23:58 ] Aurora Morgan > I-I'm f-fine, thank you.
[ 2016.01.17 20:24:39 ] Utari Onzo > /emote keeps the dogs, who are leashed, gently to the side away from Aurora knowingly. "Apologies Ms Morgan, I assure you they won't cause any harm or fuss tonight."
[ 2016.01.17 20:25:01 ] Aurora Morgan > /emote nods quietly.
[ 2016.01.17 20:25:53 ] Utari Onzo > Speaking of sociable dogs, please let me know when you have a moment Mrs Daphiti. I have an idea that would address a problem of mine, while also being an asset to yourself. I appreciate you'll be busy tonight, so don't make any special arrangements on
[ 2016.01.17 20:25:56 ] Utari Onzo > my behalf.
[ 2016.01.17 20:27:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh. Now is probably best then, before everyone else arrives." She glances about, having made sure matters were in hand earlier for the most part.
[ 2016.01.17 20:28:26 ] Utari Onzo > As you wish. Essentially, I need a dog sitter. I'm going on business planet side, and I won't be able to take care of my lovable hounds. If you would allow, I'd like to introduce them to yourself.
[ 2016.01.17 20:29:24 ] Thal Vadam > /emote steps into the establishment, dressed in black armor under his cloak. His arm hangs limp, as if it were broken
[ 2016.01.17 20:32:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at the dogs. She shrugs. "Why not."
[ 2016.01.17 20:33:57 ] Aurora Morgan > /emote looks to Thal and the others > S-should we sit down for a d-drink?
[ 2016.01.17 20:34:11 ] Utari Onzo > /emote kneels down by the dogs and fussed at them. "This one" he indicates to the black femal mongrel "Is Ebony. And this loveable rogue is her brother Scruffy. They're mongrels, and very very docile and friendly. One thing I think they'll be handy for
[ 2016.01.17 20:34:56 ] Utari Onzo > is rehabilitation. It'd be handy for some of those afflicted persons you have to have something living, breathing and calm to pet, to get a sense of comfort and warmth. Not to mention your corporation members. These two are calm, the girl a little on
[ 2016.01.17 20:35:17 ] Utari Onzo > the more cautious side, but they're very friendly. They can be quite playfull once they get to know someone.
[ 2016.01.17 20:36:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote kneels down next to Utari, looking at the dogs.
[ 2016.01.17 20:36:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, these could be perfect to have for a little while." She holds her hand out, careful to do so below the noses andnot above.
[ 2016.01.17 20:37:13 ] Thal Vadam > /emote looks to Utari's dogs for a long moment, before slowly approaching
[ 2016.01.17 20:37:33 ] Utari Onzo > /emote gestures to the Akita. "This one is Sama. She's an Akita hound I got from a cousin in the State. She's far more energetic and lively, especially on her own without Ebony and Scruffy, so I think she needs someone with a more active lifestyle..."
[ 2016.01.17 20:37:40 ] Utari Onzo > Like you Thal! Hello brother!
[ 2016.01.17 20:37:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Not me right now that's for sure."
[ 2016.01.17 20:38:17 ] Utari Onzo > ((Feel free to interact with the dogs and how they respond in your posts))
[ 2016.01.17 20:38:48 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods to Utari, as his bulky body approaches. His voice is soft "Hello Utari..."
[ 2016.01.17 20:38:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives the slighest smile as they sniff her hands. As they seem to accept her she tries to pet them by scratching them behind the ears.
[ 2016.01.17 20:39:16 ] Utari Onzo > I see your arm is hurt, are you quite alright?
[ 2016.01.17 20:39:57 ] Utari Onzo > /emote gives a 'look'. "And don't try to fool me by trying to hide it under that cloak of yours, I've seen plenty of limp limbs."
[ 2016.01.17 20:41:02 ] Thal Vadam > /emote glances down at his limp arm "It's the mechanical one...I'll fix it later"
[ 2016.01.17 20:41:33 ] Utari Onzo > Oh, I see. Amputation, how'd that happen?
[ 2016.01.17 20:41:48 ] Utari Onzo > /emote rises from kneeling as he offers the leashes of the two mongrels to Luna.
[ 2016.01.17 20:42:02 ] Utari Onzo > Please feel free to give them a walk around and get used to you Mrs Daphiti.
[ 2016.01.17 20:42:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes the leashes. One of the dogs rolls over as Lunarisse scratches it. She gives a slight nod of approval.
[ 2016.01.17 20:42:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "if the attention-hounds let me."
[ 2016.01.17 20:42:30 ] Utari Onzo > /emote chuckles.
[ 2016.01.17 20:42:43 ] Thal Vadam > "Got bored...got figgity...found something to take my mind away"
[ 2016.01.17 20:42:52 ] Utari Onzo > Hmm....
[ 2016.01.17 20:43:09 ] Utari Onzo > Well if you're so bored, you obviously need a dog as well. But only for a week.
[ 2016.01.17 20:43:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Aurora. She has two prone dogs.
[ 2016.01.17 20:43:46 ] Thal Vadam > /emote nods "I'll be happy to take him"
[ 2016.01.17 20:43:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ms,. Morgan, i am sure these two will be fine. Would you like to try?" Both dogs are now belly up.
[ 2016.01.17 20:44:00 ] Aurora Morgan > /emote looks scared of the dogs > I-I'm f-fine, t-thanks.
[ 2016.01.17 20:44:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says gently "when they are on their backs, they are showing submission"
[ 2016.01.17 20:44:44 ] Aurora Morgan > I'm f-fine, r-really.
[ 2016.01.17 20:44:52 ] Utari Onzo > /emote Gives a stern look for a moment. "Her, not a He, Sama. The Akita. She's the more lively one, but I don't think you've had much time with her. Kailen likes stealing her away." He offers the leash to Thal.
[ 2016.01.17 20:45:44 ] Utari Onzo > [20:44:51] Utari Onzo > /emote Gives a stern look for a moment "Her, not a He, Sama. The Akita. She's the more lively one, but I don't think you've had much time with her. Kailen likes stealing her away." He offers the leash to Thal.
[ 2016.01.17 20:46:20 ] Utari Onzo > /emote returns to a smile. "She needs lots of exercise and entertainment, so when you're not busy fighting you're going to be too busy to get bored. Sound good Brother?"
[ 2016.01.17 20:46:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly. She straightens up, and the dogs flip over as she does.
[ 2016.01.17 20:47:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Mr. Onzo, I would be delighted to care for these two. Can you have them delivered to me after tonight?" She holds the leashes out to him.
[ 2016.01.17 20:47:38 ] Utari Onzo > Of course, Mrs Daphiti.
[ 2016.01.17 20:47:44 ] Utari Onzo > /emote takes the leashes.
[ 2016.01.17 20:47:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curtsies "I'd like to speak to some of my other guests." She smiles at Utari.
[ 2016.01.17 20:48:08 ] Thal Vadam > /emote is hesitant for a moment, before taking the leash in his good arm
[ 2016.01.17 20:48:17 ] Utari Onzo > /emote smiles and offers a bow of his head to Luna. "Naturally.

Location: SFRIM Offices. Medical Bay. Nahyeen VII. Zoar & Sons Factory.

The main chamber of the medical bay is packed. Extra beds have been set on the floor and every spare niche.
There are haggered, scarred and emancipiated minmatar on the beds being tended by nurses and doctors. A wall has been opened up and leads to a view of what seems almost like an endless series of bunks. The bunks are in barracks order and filled with people. Some are in small groups with white smocked counselors. Others are just staring into space sitting, while others are sleeping or sitting on the floor engaged in simple games or quiet talks. in short, total bedlam and a scene of quite a bit of misery.

There are now 14,800 slaves remaining.

Two therapy dogs 'Ebony' and 'Scruffy' are engaging with some children.

[ 2016.01.18 03:16:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /slash: /enters with two dogs on leashes. She makes her way over to the head counselor and speaks with her at some lengrh.
[ 2016.01.18 03:17:39 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote emerges from the connecting hallway into the medbay still with his frown. Either his capsuleer status or his angry visage sent medical staff and refugees away from him, opening a path to his destination. The stasis chambers.
[ 2016.01.18 03:17:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote hands over the leashes after a time. They take the dogs to a secluded section of the barracks where any children, who have not been exposed to slaver hounds can meet and play with the dogs. Lunarisse watches as they vanish into the hangar and s
[ 2016.01.18 03:18:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Ibrahim from where she is at the edge of the medbay.
[ 2016.01.18 03:20:16 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote confirms his identity with the biometric lock before flipping through some current readings and report charts on the occupant. He nods his head, as an affirmation to himself that everything is normal.
[ 2016.01.18 03:20:40 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote sighs and signs out from the system.
[ 2016.01.18 03:21:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Ibrahim. "So how is he?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:22:18 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote had not noticed Lunarisse as being present due to the overflow and is just slightly startled.
[ 2016.01.18 03:22:29 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Oh, fine."
[ 2016.01.18 03:22:34 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Or dead."
[ 2016.01.18 03:22:51 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote shakes his head regarding the lack of knowing possible in this situation.
[ 2016.01.18 03:22:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am always here, these days Milord" she says wearily. "No need to be startled." She gestures at all the unusual activity, furnishings, people and expansion.
[ 2016.01.18 03:22:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see."
[ 2016.01.18 03:23:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs "What I would give for Dr. Arkon's counsel right now."
[ 2016.01.18 03:23:28 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote nods looking around. "I haven't been here since...."
[ 2016.01.18 03:24:08 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote waves his hand at the place. "I'm afraid I haven't given much thought to what you've been dealing with here."
[ 2016.01.18 03:24:22 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote closes the distance to Lunarisse so they are together.
[ 2016.01.18 03:25:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs "Dr. Arkon will be alone again in about a week"
[ 2016.01.18 03:27:07 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I was sure he was fine. One just worries. Not just with the help being provided to these people now but, well, I was little worried about what Syrikos had to say happened in the Lamp."
[ 2016.01.18 03:27:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks past Ibrahim "The Butcher did a number with these people." Her eyes flicker with annoyance about frivoloties like a drunk pilot "Syrikos?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:28:22 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote waves as if to brush the thought from the air, "Oh, he---it is the security AI I left in the system last year after Miss Boma's incident."
[ 2016.01.18 03:29:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ah. Well no big deal. Every now and then someone will drink too much. it happens in a corporation of 50 people. I'll talk to Ms. Strife when she is sober and back in Nahyeen."
[ 2016.01.18 03:30:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I trust she didn't destroy any of your items?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:30:04 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I was rather hoping you might approve some minor alterations to the shelving to prevent a repeat. That whisky has some sentimental value to me."
[ 2016.01.18 03:30:17 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "No, the box is very secure."
[ 2016.01.18 03:30:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see. What sort of sentimental value?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:30:42 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote smiles to himself, "It's complicated, if you don't mind, ma'm."
[ 2016.01.18 03:31:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Fair enough." She leans against one wall. "What sort of alterations?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:33:09 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Oh, an electromagnetic section of shelving designed to keep the box firmly in place unless shut off via a code. Miss Runekin has decided to aid me by providing a hardware drone which can make the changes well and without compromising aesthetics."
[ 2016.01.18 03:33:16 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "No need to fear me wielding a hammer."
[ 2016.01.18 03:33:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Is there anyway this shelving can injure someone?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:34:10 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote thinks for a moment, "I suppose if they were to remove the shelf and make their way into the wall they could electrocute themselves."
[ 2016.01.18 03:34:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns. "How would someone know not to do that?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:35:33 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Well, I mean, they could do the same with any other appliance. Except, in this case, there are no exposed wires so it would be required to get into the wall."
[ 2016.01.18 03:35:45 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Instead of just taking a wire and biting it hard."
[ 2016.01.18 03:35:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2016.01.18 03:36:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But it's already in a secure box yes?
[ 2016.01.18 03:36:33 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "This will make it very impracticaly to remove the box from the shelf without authorization."
[ 2016.01.18 03:36:52 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "And, for instance, trying to pry it open and then throw it across the room."
[ 2016.01.18 03:37:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Why not put bubble wrap inside the box?" She pauses "Let's be clear my concern is not so much your .. security measure. But what if others start to do the same. I don't want our community room/bar turning into some sort of... barricadefest"
[ 2016.01.18 03:38:45 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Nor I. And I hate to seek what amounts to special permission, but if I cannot be reasonably secure in its housing I will need to remove it. Which, if that is your preference, I understand."
[ 2016.01.18 03:39:03 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I do like that it roots me here. Especially as I never visit."
[ 2016.01.18 03:39:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. I'd hate to see you remove it." She frowns.
[ 2016.01.18 03:39:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "Oh, the Good Word'
[ 2016.01.18 03:39:41 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I can see it."
[ 2016.01.18 03:39:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do review it and respond." She pauses and wrinkles her nose as she thinks.
[ 2016.01.18 03:40:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How about if we do it in a way that's even less obvious and.. ornamental"
[ 2016.01.18 03:41:56 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I assure you it will look no different. The device has been fabricated to meet the dimensions of any other section of shelving. The only difference that will be noticed is if you found the powering cables in the wall."
[ 2016.01.18 03:42:15 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Or if you tried to lift the box and found it to feel as if it weighed a few thousand pounds."
[ 2016.01.18 03:42:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You misunderstand me totally."
[ 2016.01.18 03:43:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "If it is on the shelf and weighs a few thousand pounds, don't you think a drunk might see that as.. a challenge?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:43:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am thinking of something entirely different. Placing in something that a drunk or the curious wouldn't even think of looking into"
[ 2016.01.18 03:44:18 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote tilts his head. "I suppose camoflauge might be a better solution."
[ 2016.01.18 03:45:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "What if we had a Tash-Murkon Grandmother clock?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:46:16 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I am not familiar with the term. A theme today."
[ 2016.01.18 03:46:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It would have a compartment in the bottom where you could keep your box."
[ 2016.01.18 03:46:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But otherwise simply look grand and majestic.. and of course quite gold.. along one wall"
[ 2016.01.18 03:46:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It'd beed to be secured so it didn't fall.. and no one would think anything of that"
[ 2016.01.18 03:47:04 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote nods his head, "Oh....Oh."
[ 2016.01.18 03:48:05 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Yes. I don't even need to apologize to Miss Runekin for wasting her time as the device she provided will be needed to properly mounth the clock to the floor and wall."
[ 2016.01.18 03:48:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Good. Then please make it so."
[ 2016.01.18 03:49:29 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > ""Ma'm thank you not only for permission but for pointing me on a much better course of action."
[ 2016.01.18 03:49:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "glad to see I am of some use somewhere this week"
[ 2016.01.18 03:50:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Feel free to proceed as you wish on your time."
[ 2016.01.18 03:50:58 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote looks around, "Perhaps I can also be of some use somewhere? I am surprised you even made it to the event today. I just hadn't thought..."
[ 2016.01.18 03:52:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I... well at this point we have plans for the remaining finally. But they will be here one more week."
[ 2016.01.18 03:52:49 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote nods his head, "Good, good."
[ 2016.01.18 03:53:12 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I suppose we should be thankful so many made it alive. Even if the logistics are taxing."
[ 2016.01.18 03:53:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes."
[ 2016.01.18 03:54:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Tell me Lord Tash Murkon. do you like dogs?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:55:20 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I well, I suppose. I had a hound growing up. Pretty typical. I always toy with the idea of getting one but, well, station life."
[ 2016.01.18 03:55:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Could you take it upon yourself to walk the dogs this week?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:55:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes over to a far corner where some children are playing with a pair of therapy dogs.
[ 2016.01.18 03:57:41 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote quirks his brow. "Walk dogs?"
[ 2016.01.18 03:57:52 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I don't even...."
[ 2016.01.18 03:57:59 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote chuckles, "I might not remember how."
[ 2016.01.18 03:58:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says brigtly "Put themn on a leash and take then to my atrium, I have a lawn. I'll.. let them do their business there."
[ 2016.01.18 03:58:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at Ibrahim 'the exercise will do you some good.. and it will help me. I am doing too many things."
[ 2016.01.18 03:59:14 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote smiles, "That's for the best, my gardeners would never allow it."
[ 2016.01.18 03:59:29 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Yes, absolutely, I will take care of this."
[ 2016.01.18 03:59:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thanks." She pauses "have a good night, Sir. I need to make the rounds"
[ 2016.01.18 04:00:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Go check out the bar and see where you want the clock?"
[ 2016.01.18 04:00:48 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote shifts back to just a tiny bit sullen. "Yes, you're busy. I'll, well, you know if you need anything else."
[ 2016.01.18 04:00:53 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote bows.
[ 2016.01.18 04:01:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curtseys. She disappears into the hangars.
[ 2016.01.18 04:02:06 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote departs back through what refugess and staff have overflown into the medbay proper and this time adopts what he hopes is a more symapthetic face.
[ 2016.01.18 04:20:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote continues to quietly walk through the darkened hangars. Still crowded, despite having 10,000 fewer people.
[ 2016.01.18 04:23:51 ] Aria Jenneth > /emote is presently sitting by the bed of a middle-aged man, listening and talking quietly. Her demeanor is cheerful, despite the circles under her eyes*
[ 2016.01.18 04:27:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way slowly through the hangar until perhaps she comes to where Aria is.
[ 2016.01.18 04:28:04 ] Aria Jenneth > -- Ah. It ... seems my superior is here. Please excuse me. *she bobs her head politely to the gentleman and rises to deliver a (slightly wobbly) formal bow*
[ 2016.01.18 04:28:21 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Salve, Directrix ...
[ 2016.01.18 04:28:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh. Please don't let me interrupt. Hello Peregrinans."
[ 2016.01.18 04:29:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "thank you for continuing your work... we moved a great many out today."
[ 2016.01.18 04:30:00 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Saivil was just ... telling me about his family. Apparently he's a ... great uncle a couple times over.
[ 2016.01.18 04:30:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2016.01.18 04:30:46 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I ... saw. Um. I'm ... afraid I may be neglecting my duties at the ... gardens ... the last day or so.
[ 2016.01.18 04:30:57 ] Aria Jenneth > ....
[ 2016.01.18 04:31:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Please. As I said, consider yourself re-assigned until we are done this."
[ 2016.01.18 04:31:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "god, I can hadly manage to focus on anything else right now."
[ 2016.01.18 04:31:19 ] Aria Jenneth > ... understood. Thank you, Directrix.
[ 2016.01.18 04:31:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The gala was almost a disaster, but Holy Mother Lyse covered for me once or twice when i stumbled mentally."
[ 2016.01.18 04:32:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So please.. this is much more important."
[ 2016.01.18 04:32:18 ] Aria Jenneth > ...? ... I'm sorry. I ... won't worry about it, then.
[ 2016.01.18 04:32:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If you've been doing your work and given their self contained nature. i am sure weeds won't sprout overnight."
[ 2016.01.18 04:33:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Err... are you ok with canines?" She asks as an apparent non-sequitar.
[ 2016.01.18 04:35:28 ] Aria Jenneth > ... um. More or less. Do ... you mean the pup?
[ 2016.01.18 04:36:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head no.
[ 2016.01.18 04:36:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Captain utari has .. well donated for this week two therapy dogs, 'Ebony' and 'Scruffy'"
[ 2016.01.18 04:36:57 ] Aria Jenneth > .... Oh. Um. ... We've ... met, actually.
[ 2016.01.18 04:37:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "they are mongrels and don't resemble slaver hounds in the sliighest. Still I am making sure of who might have a phobia or nervousness."
[ 2016.01.18 04:37:48 ] Aria Jenneth > ... we get on okay. I think it's better if ... Meogoleh stays ... in my private quarters and hangars for the duration, though.
[ 2016.01.18 04:38:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I expect the children who don't have much of a reason to fear them at this point in their life, will enjoy them". She nods in agreement about Meogoleh.
[ 2016.01.18 04:38:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes."
[ 2016.01.18 04:38:39 ] Aria Jenneth > ... those ... two are fluffballs, Directrix. I'm not sure they'd ... trigger fear, even from those who ...
[ 2016.01.18 04:38:46 ] Aria Jenneth > .. well. Maybe they would.
[ 2016.01.18 04:39:07 ] Aria Jenneth > ... but they don't have even a little bit of the slaver's profile. They don't share much aside from being furry.
[ 2016.01.18 04:39:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "That is my hope and why I agreed to use them this week."
[ 2016.01.18 04:40:05 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Um. The only thing that worries me at all is how ... they might respond to desperate fear.
[ 2016.01.18 04:40:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So you may see them about. I have handlers assigned and" she actually gives a tired smile at this "I assigned Lord Tash Murkon dog walking duties"
[ 2016.01.18 04:40:30 ] Aria Jenneth > ....
[ 2016.01.18 04:40:59 ] Aria Jenneth > I ... see, Directrix. Um. ... Directrix? About ... that ...
[ 2016.01.18 04:41:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly "Yes?"
[ 2016.01.18 04:41:28 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *she steps a little closer, voice dropping* I ... wondered if....
[ 2016.01.18 04:41:47 ] Aria Jenneth > Um. I've spoken with him. I ... might have given some sort of offense; I'm not sure.
[ 2016.01.18 04:42:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Lord Tash Murkon.. can be somewhat prickly. He is.. old."
[ 2016.01.18 04:42:03 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I ... wanted to get ... your sense of him. I don't want to offend him further.
[ 2016.01.18 04:42:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Still.. what do you think might have caused offense?"
[ 2016.01.18 04:42:37 ] Aria Jenneth > ... It's ... kind of complicated.
[ 2016.01.18 04:42:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It usually is."
[ 2016.01.18 04:44:13 ] Aria Jenneth > There are bits of ... my history where ... well. There are ... sort of ... dark things ... that it can be kind of hard to distinguish from boasting. The ... way I used to ... use rhetoric and so on.
[ 2016.01.18 04:44:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods 'Well.. if he mentions anything to me, I will tell you. And then perhaps we can sort."
[ 2016.01.18 04:44:52 ] Aria Jenneth > I was trying to explain why ... I feel responsible for ... the damage ... I caused. And he got a bit sharp.
[ 2016.01.18 04:44:59 ] Aria Jenneth > But ... maybe I'm being oversensitive.
[ 2016.01.18 04:45:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He is Tash Murkon.. they are the least .. devout and conservative. I'd expect issues from Lord Raholan first."
[ 2016.01.18 04:45:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "If were to have any."
[ 2016.01.18 04:46:00 ] Aria Jenneth > ... um. Not like that. At least ... I don't think so.
[ 2016.01.18 04:46:09 ] Aria Jenneth > He seemed to ... feel I was flattering myself.
[ 2016.01.18 04:46:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks. Her eyes seem dull, but a flicker of a query passes in them. "Curious"
[ 2016.01.18 04:46:58 ] Aria Jenneth > .... People do sometimes brag about doing ... awful things well. I guess maybe sometimes I do, too-- I'm a good ... combat pilot. A good killer.
[ 2016.01.18 04:47:44 ] Aria Jenneth > ... but ... being good at sophistry doesn't really ... seem like something to brag about, however I look at it.
[ 2016.01.18 04:47:56 ] Aria Jenneth > Maybe it's like saying you're good at rhetoric.
[ 2016.01.18 04:47:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote simply nods.
[ 2016.01.18 04:48:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The man you were talking with. Does he think his nieces and nephews are among the 24,800 anywhere?"
[ 2016.01.18 04:48:45 ] Aria Jenneth > *she shakes her head* No, Directrix. It's ... why it was a pleasant topic.
[ 2016.01.18 04:48:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see.' she nods.
[ 2016.01.18 04:49:03 ] Aria Jenneth > ... they're well away.
[ 2016.01.18 04:49:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Nauplius usually acquired his slaves from Empire space. if he recalls where.. perhaps we could .. return him to them."
[ 2016.01.18 04:50:20 ] Aria Jenneth > I can ... see to the inquiries, Directrix. There'll be a registry of ... um. There'll be a registry. Right?
[ 2016.01.18 04:50:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes. For the most part."
[ 2016.01.18 04:51:12 ] Aria Jenneth > ... ways of keeping track of ... generations, and so on ... geneologies ...
[ 2016.01.18 04:51:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Placing him with his kin may help speed his recovery, provided I am satisfied with the Holder or Holders."
[ 2016.01.18 04:52:16 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Understood. Thank you, Directrix.
[ 2016.01.18 04:53:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote yawns. "I need to retire. it's been a long day. The worst cases are in mehatoor awaiting tranfer to Ms. Risen, and the best I got Lord Ikyr to agree to take them on. I.. have a lead on where to send the others for more care with people who...
[ 2016.01.18 04:54:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "have experience rehabiliating persons like these."
[ 2016.01.18 04:54:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I've resigned myself to the fact it may be years for most of these poor people."
[ 2016.01.18 04:55:30 ] Aria Jenneth > ... it may. But ...
[ 2016.01.18 04:55:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But if we can find.. family, like for that gentlemen.. it may make a big difference"
[ 2016.01.18 04:56:40 ] Aria Jenneth > *nodnod* ... Yes, Directrix.
[ 2016.01.18 04:56:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a Blessed Night"
[ 2016.01.18 04:56:55 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Please rest ... well.
[ 2016.01.18 04:57:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you..."
[ 2016.01.18 04:57:06 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *she bows once more*
[ 2016.01.18 04:57:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks away making her way to the medical bay. She has a word with the night supervisor, then departs.

Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory

Setting: The main gathering area of the Society, the bar sports plush leather couches centered around a long coffee table. Low music plays songs from around the galaxy. The soft blue lighting is easy on the eyes, but still light enough to see what you're doing and where you're going. The shelves are filled haphazardly with bottles of spirits, clearly labeled. The whiskeys shelf label has been taped over by Lucas. There is a shelf with rum on it, with a fresh label reading 'Alexi'. Above that, is Nicoletta's shelf, with juice mixes and exotic wine, with a few bottles of absinthe here and there. A long line of bottles of Quafe are on a shelf with a "DON'T TOUCH!" sign by Rhoxy. Johanes has a shelf with brandies and cognac and a lone bottle of smurgleblaster. One shelf labeled "Lord Anderson's" has three bottles of brandy from Gallente space, along with other liquors. Lunarisse's shelf has spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. New to her collection is one tall, elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Cream Liqueur, one tall elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Chocolate Liqueur, one stout, wide bottle with amarrian scroll work of Chocolate sauce with added black tea all wrapped in a secure richly coloured, dark wood box. A shelf labeled "Alizabeth" has several boxes of teas.There are a few other shelves that hold overflow and shared drinks for all. A well stocked refrigerator is behind the bar and equipmebnt to brew teas and coffees are behind the bar.On the walls are starscapes with Society members, painted by Lord Anderson.Against one wall is a majestic golden Tash-Murkon Grandmother Clock, secured so it does not tip.

There is Sarum Shepard named " Quark"

[ 2016.01.19 02:16:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. She ducks into the kitchen, humming a tune.
[ 2016.01.19 02:17:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote putters around behind the bar furiously chopping vegetables.
[ 2016.01.19 02:17:49 ] Karmilla Strife > /emote enters the bar.
[ 2016.01.19 02:18:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up "Hi Karmilla". She continues to chop what appears to be enough vegetables to feed a large troupe.
[ 2016.01.19 02:19:33 ] Karmilla Strife > Hello Lunarisse. Do you need any help?
[ 2016.01.19 02:19:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'll have some extra you can take home for little Jamyl"
[ 2016.01.19 02:19:55 ] Karmilla Strife > I'm sure she'll like that.
[ 2016.01.19 02:20:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sure." She gestures. There are a few chopping boards with carrots, celery, onions, and pototoes neatly sorted.
[ 2016.01.19 02:20:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have the chicken already cooking and the broth already stewing from the carcasses"
[ 2016.01.19 02:22:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote continues to work on the carrots.
[ 2016.01.19 02:25:46 ] Karmilla Strife > /emote washes the celery and then begins to chop the stalks into pieces.
[ 2016.01.19 02:27:29 ] Karmilla Strife > /emote chuckles. "This is the second time I've done this today."
[ 2016.01.19 02:27:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles tiredly.
[ 2016.01.19 02:27:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Some of the children could use some soup." She says "If I was going to make some for one, I might as well try to make as much as i can for the others."
[ 2016.01.19 02:28:14 ] Karmilla Strife > Children?
[ 2016.01.19 02:28:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes. There were children among the slaves we rescued from the Butcher." Her hand tenses along her knife, but she continues to slice and dice the carrots.
[ 2016.01.19 02:29:28 ] Karmilla Strife > /emote nods. "They're still in our care?"
[ 2016.01.19 02:29:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "For one more week. I've been working hard to place them."
[ 2016.01.19 02:30:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Some of the more resilient have already been sent to a Holder who... agreed to take them despite their historu."
[ 2016.01.19 02:30:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Some of the worst were sent to an aurcology for long term mental care."
[ 2016.01.19 02:30:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The others.. well.. I think I've found places for them but.. " she sighs. "Still here til the the places can be made ready."
[ 2016.01.19 02:31:26 ] Karmilla Strife > Hmm.
[ 2016.01.19 02:31:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote puts her diced carrots into a bowl and begins to peel a fresh batch.
[ 2016.01.19 02:32:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Silly I know." She frowns as she begins to slice "For me to be making soup"
[ 2016.01.19 02:32:29 ] Karmilla Strife > I don't think it's silly.
[ 2016.01.19 02:33:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I just.. feel so useless. The majority of these people... will be in no fit for anything for years..."
[ 2016.01.19 02:34:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote eyes glaze briefly, then she refocuses and sighs.
[ 2016.01.19 02:34:33 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote enters the bar area and looks around for the small maintenance drone Rhoxy left for him.
[ 2016.01.19 02:34:35 ] Karmilla Strife > People are more resilient than you think. Especially children.
[ 2016.01.19 02:35:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes. Most of the ones who bounced back quickly were the young."
[ 2016.01.19 02:35:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Mr. Onzo sent us a pair of therapy dogs..." she gives a wry smile "The children love them"
[ 2016.01.19 02:36:22 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote locates it and withdraws a data chip from his pocket and places it in a standardized port. It lights up a chipper female voice says "Uplink active. Beginning GalNet download. Please wait."
[ 2016.01.19 02:37:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote places her peeled carrots down and begins to slice. "Aria told me they are nothing like her slaver hound." She pauses "Who knew people kept them as pets." She shakes her head. 'So the children love them" she repeats.
[ 2016.01.19 02:37:51 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > It speaks again, "Download complete sir I will- why is the voice module locked to female sir?"
[ 2016.01.19 02:38:09 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote feigns ignorance, "No idea."
[ 2016.01.19 02:38:23 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > Device: "Sir, this is not funny."
[ 2016.01.19 02:38:36 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "It's a little funny."
[ 2016.01.19 02:38:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stares at Ibrahim.
[ 2016.01.19 02:38:46 ] Karmilla Strife > /emote finishes with the celery and begins to peel and cut onions.
[ 2016.01.19 02:40:23 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote chuckles, "Alright, get on with it." The device grumbles indistinctly in the chirp voice as it begins fiddling around the new clock.
[ 2016.01.19 02:40:37 ] Karmilla Strife > What is the legal status of the survivors?
[ 2016.01.19 02:41:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They were all slaves procured in the Empire." She cuts. "So those who are.. fit enough are being transferred to responsible holders. Those who are not are being placed in long-term care." She pauses. -c-
[ 2016.01.19 02:42:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ms. Jenneth commented that some of them know where their family are in the Empire, We are trying to locate those Holders in such a case to transfer those in the hopes it will aid their recovery, if the Lord or Lady accepts."
[ 2016.01.19 02:42:48 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote retrieves the secure container from its original place on the shelves and waits by the clock as the drone continues to whine and whurr around the base and the back integrating the clock more securely with the wall and floor.
[ 2016.01.19 02:43:46 ] Karmilla Strife > I wish Abdanashtih was still around. She has a remarkable amount of experience with this sort of thing.
[ 2016.01.19 02:43:49 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Are you quite finished?"
[ 2016.01.19 02:43:57 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > Device: "Sir, would you like to do this?"
[ 2016.01.19 02:44:07 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Get lippy with me and I'll leave you in there."
[ 2016.01.19 02:44:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes.. That would be valuable."
[ 2016.01.19 02:45:23 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > The device audibly sighs and curls on the floor next to the clock. "It is done sir."
[ 2016.01.19 02:45:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote continues to slice and die.
[ 2016.01.19 02:45:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *erm... DICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[ 2016.01.19 02:46:18 ] Karmilla Strife > I'll talk to my father, I'm sure we can find arrangements for some.
[ 2016.01.19 02:46:33 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote opens the base of the clock and deposits his container within the clock body and secures it shut. Well camofaluged as suggested.
[ 2016.01.19 02:46:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "That would be good. With the therapy dogs, we've made progress and I am able to place some more woth a Holder."
[ 2016.01.19 02:46:56 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > Device: "May I get out of this now sir?"
[ 2016.01.19 02:47:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "Knowing you, I am sure I can trust your father to treat them appropriately."
[ 2016.01.19 02:47:16 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Go ahead darling."
[ 2016.01.19 02:47:32 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Sir you are the epitome of humor."
[ 2016.01.19 02:48:09 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > Device: "Upload complete. You may remove AI transfer chip."
[ 2016.01.19 02:48:16 ] Karmilla Strife > Well they have hospitals in his district and if any of them have technical experience he can find them work in a Carthum factory.
[ 2016.01.19 02:48:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods with approval. "Good." She moves another batch of carrots into a bowl.
[ 2016.01.19 02:48:51 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote picks up the silent device and places it where it had originally been left along with a quickly written note.
[ 2016.01.19 02:49:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I can move them. Just let me know where." She begins to peel some more, and slows as she gazes at Ibrahim curiously.
[ 2016.01.19 02:49:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ibrahim, what are you doing?"
[ 2016.01.19 02:50:04 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Oh, you know, getting this family heirloom settled in."
[ 2016.01.19 02:50:18 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote winks. Or blinks. Hard to tell.
[ 2016.01.19 02:50:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods blankly. "Ok" She resumes.
[ 2016.01.19 02:50:49 ] Karmilla Strife > Once my father approves, you can move them to Nishah III - District 1. Or the Kor-Azor station in that system.
[ 2016.01.19 02:50:57 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Sorry for interrupting your cooking."
[ 2016.01.19 02:51:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I will." She continues to putter and slice, etc.
[ 2016.01.19 02:51:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "No worries, Ibrahim, but do.. walk the dogs please."
[ 2016.01.19 02:52:35 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I will now. I'll take them to one of the station's parks."
[ 2016.01.19 02:53:37 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote leaves through the hallway connection to the medbay.
[ 2016.01.19 02:56:40 ] Karmilla Strife > /emote finishes with the onions and looks about for what's next.
[ 2016.01.19 03:00:44 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote comes back through, now two dogs accompanying him. They obviously perk up at the scent of the cooking.
[ 2016.01.19 03:01:35 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote holds the leashes firmly against them as they strain in the direction of the kitchen with some hopeful barking.
[ 2016.01.19 03:02:05 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Uh, no. No!"
[ 2016.01.19 03:03:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns "Keep them out of the kitchen you Silly Goose"
[ 2016.01.19 03:04:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Karmilla "Can you do the potatoes and I'll do the celery?"
[ 2016.01.19 03:04:05 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote pulls the dogs reluctantly back towards the exit. "That is Lord Silly Goose, respectfully."
[ 2016.01.19 03:04:57 ] Karmilla Strife > Do you peel the potatoes?
[ 2016.01.19 03:05:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly, with the first trace of humor in a while "Yes, Milord, and the gardens are that way.'
[ 2016.01.19 03:05:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head "No, I was told by my mother they retain more nutrients that wau
[ 2016.01.19 03:06:01 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote nods and waves makes his way through the door with the two hoping that he can find a machine to purchase some of the local chit for some treats and, hopefully, to pay someone to handle any droppings.
[ 2016.01.19 03:06:04 ] Karmilla Strife > I always preferred them that way myself. It's very rustic.
[ 2016.01.19 03:07:05 ] Karmilla Strife > /emote scrubs the potatoes well before getting to work.
[ 2016.01.19 03:07:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes the celery and breaks their hearts.
[ 2016.01.19 03:11:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright I think we're done. "Thank you Karmilla"
[ 2016.01.19 03:12:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'll toss all this into the kitchen and let it cook a while." She smiles tiredly "I appreciate the help."
[ 2016.01.19 03:12:24 ] Karmilla Strife > "Excuse me, I have to go"
[ 2016.01.19 03:12:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I'll send some over for Jamyl wheni t's done."
[ 2016.01.19 03:12:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Be Blessed."
[ 2016.01.19 03:12:52 ] Karmilla Strife > "Thank you"
[ 2016.01.19 03:13:03 ] Karmilla Strife > /emote leaves the bar
[ 2016.01.19 03:13:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes the extremely large bowl with all the chopped vegetables and vanishes into the kitchen.
[ 2016.01.19 03:27:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters back from the kitchen which has a very strong smell of chicken soup.
[ 2016.01.19 03:27:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote plops into a chair.
[ 2016.01.19 03:29:27 ] Velarra > /emote wandered into the Lamp with a relaxed gate and slowly made her way upto the bar
[ 2016.01.19 03:30:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hello Velarra."
[ 2016.01.19 03:30:35 ] Velarra > /emote offered a warm smile > 'Luna
[ 2016.01.19 03:31:20 ] Velarra > /emote proceeded to pour herself a glass of water with some ice
[ 2016.01.19 03:32:13 ] Velarra > How're you doing?
[ 2016.01.19 03:32:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs the bridge of her nose. "Oh... I heard from your.... 'friend' I think." She says quietly "Thank you."
[ 2016.01.19 03:32:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As for me... I think the soup is helping me too." She chuckles.
[ 2016.01.19 03:33:07 ] Velarra > /emote nods at that with a smile > I'm glad.
[ 2016.01.19 03:33:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The.. dogs Mr. Onzo supplied are also amazing."
[ 2016.01.19 03:34:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think dogs can be therapeutic." She whistles and a large mass of grey hair comes from wherever he was hiding.
[ 2016.01.19 03:34:14 ] Velarra > Lovely. That's good to hear.
[ 2016.01.19 03:34:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "Oh,, no no no no" as Quark leaps up onto her and her chair. She vanishes.
[ 2016.01.19 03:35:03 ] Velarra > /emote steps back ever so deftly as to avoid the furry friend..
[ 2016.01.19 03:36:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote legs wiggle from underneath and after a big shove, he comes tumbling off. "Blasted beast thinks he is still a puppy." Her face is flushed and her astray. She pulls it over and begins scratching behind his ears.
[ 2016.01.19 03:37:08 ] Velarra > /emote does however eventually approach with an amused look toward the pair > He's quite endearing..
[ 2016.01.19 03:37:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh they are very loyal and friendly."
[ 2016.01.19 03:38:03 ] Velarra > /emote nods and smiles easily > I can imagine..
[ 2016.01.19 03:40:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *With an expressiong worthy of an Oscar, Quark curls up at Luna's feet, his head on his paws.*
[ 2016.01.19 03:41:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Has anyone taken you up on your cooking yet Velarra?"
[ 2016.01.19 03:42:24 ] Velarra > I've prepared a few dishes for people here on occasion.
[ 2016.01.19 03:42:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Good."
[ 2016.01.19 03:42:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Any surprises?"
[ 2016.01.19 03:43:50 ] Velarra > /emote focuses on Luna thoughtfully for a bit.. > Not really. For the most part people have been silent.
[ 2016.01.19 03:44:01 ] Velarra > Yet when served have been pleased.
[ 2016.01.19 03:44:44 ] Velarra > To be honest i suspect there is the matter of cycles and the hours we all keep.
[ 2016.01.19 03:46:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, i am sure."
[ 2016.01.19 03:47:49 ] Velarra > It has been an enjoyable experience to research the various dishes of preference as well as to form them for the people being served. At worst, many a dish has variations and catering to an individuals specific preferred flavour has been a bit of a
[ 2016.01.19 03:48:09 ] Velarra > dice roll with some measure of intuition.
[ 2016.01.19 03:49:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Interesting. I confess I never thought of it that wau."
[ 2016.01.19 03:50:25 ] Velarra > In a professional context one prepares a specific dish and the client through one means or another will know what will be served. The art is in preparation as much as service.
[ 2016.01.19 03:50:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.01.19 03:50:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs. "I need to take a nap while the soup stews". She pauses "I hope they like it."
[ 2016.01.19 03:53:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Would you mind checking it? The chicken goes in when the vegetables are soft enough."
[ 2016.01.19 03:53:34 ] Velarra > /emote moves to attend to the soup > Of course.. I'd be happy to..
[ 2016.01.19 03:54:04 ] Velarra > /emote heads into the kitchen..
[ 2016.01.19 03:54:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote goes to the sleep quarters. Quark pads after.

Location: SFRIM Offices. Medical Bay. Nahyeen VII. Zoar & Sons Factory.

The main chamber of the medical bay is packed. Extra beds have been set on the floor and every spare niche. There are haggered, scarred and emancipiated minmatar on the beds being tended by nurses and doctors. A wall has been opened up and leads to a view of what seems almost like an endless series of bunks. The bunks are in barracks order and filled with people. Some are in small groups with white smocked counselors. Others are just staring into space sitting, while others are sleeping or sitting on the floor engaged in simple games or quiet talks. in short, total bedlam and a scene of quite a bit of misery.

There are now 14,800 slaves remaining.

Two therapy dogs 'Ebony' and 'Scruffy' are engaging with some children.

[ 2016.01.19 02:55:14 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote enters and finds one the nurses that looks the least busy. "Excuse me."
[ 2016.01.19 02:56:03 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > The man nods respectfully towards Ibrahim but even as settled as things are now there is hardly the time for too much formality. "Milord?"
[ 2016.01.19 02:56:29 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Would you please bring me the dogs I am....er...walking them."
[ 2016.01.19 02:57:52 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote the last bit comes out rather awkwardly and the nurse does give something of an odd nod before disappearing into the masses and returning after not too long with the two dogs on leashes.
[ 2016.01.19 02:58:42 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote accepts the leashes as they are handed to him with an awkward smile. "Erm...thank you young man."
[ 2016.01.19 02:59:51 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote takes encourages the dogs to walk out with him and they come along. Not as obedient as a Slaver Hound but manageable.

Library -gottin's Lamp in Nahyeen (using SLACK)

Lunarisse enters. She is wearing a plain white dress which, incongruously, has chicken soup stains on it. She looks extremely tired and is pale. Her usually well kept hair is pull back into a pony tail with some stray ends all frazzled and askew. She looks to see if Lyn is anywhere in the Library.

Lyn is sitting near a pile of datachips laid on a short table. Some of the external secondary doors are closed due to the upgrades that are still being brought up to the library outside perimeter.

Lunarisse says "Oh Good. I am glad to see you." She leans against the wall in an uncharacteristic slouch.

Lyn tilts her head curiously when she notices the demeanor, but it takes her a fair amount of time to snap out of her bubble to do so. "Hello... Directrix... What can I do for you?" She harbors a very wan smile while saying so.

"I need to do some.. geneaological research." She frowns. "Doesn't the Empire have something like a Book of Records for slaves to track the lines and ownership and the like?"

Lyn suddenly looks unsure of herself on a question on pure knowledge, no less."I... have you tried asking to Lady Rkard or Ms Kerhner... ? I.. am not sure slaves are kept in the Book of Records...? I admit I never really asked myself the question..."

"Yes. But surely there is some archive. How else to tell apart those who were emancipated. Or even who complied with the late Empress, Bless her Soul, edict that the 9th generation of the Minmatar were to be freed?"

Lyn nods. "That must be yes... Though I would not doubt that some registries are kept locally, or at least at different levels and layers in the administrative maze... That is why I am unsure. I think lady Rkard would know."

"I see" Lunarisse frowns. "Ms. Jenneth has been tending to some of the ... refugees we are housing. She's learned that many are separated from their families who are owned by other Holders." "Our thought was it may aid their mental recoveries if they could be placed with those Holders, if the Holders cooperate and are of the more... humane sort." "But of course.. we need some way to find them. In some instances all that is known are the names of the relatives, not the holding or owners." Lunarisse rubs the bridge of her nose. "What a mess."

Lyn looks thoughtful. "Well I guess you will have to get a proper accomodation for legal accounting on the behalf of authorities first... Again... you should talk to lady Rkard for that I think."

Lunarisse responds "Alright". She wrinkles her nose. "I had hoped to avoid going through legalities and lawyers." "But if there was an Empire-wide archive, i am sure you'd know." She still seems to have an expression of distaste. "He ruined most of those poor people. I suspect more than half may never recover."

Lyn sighs awkwardly. "Yeah, I guess there is a general registry... What I mean is that they are slaves, not citizens. Depending on the uh... seriousness of the Holder... Property can be legally declared, or it can be underground. Or on the fringe of legality." "Well. Tax evasion, etc." "Of course I guess some Holders would be glad to get those slaves without any legal support for obvious reasons but... I am not sure those are the Holders you are looking for..."

Lunarisse agrees "No, those are not." "If they have no ties to the refugees, I am ensuring they are placed with.. responsible ones."

Lyn responds "So you will need legal accountants... I suppose. Also, for the slaves with murky backgrounds and records, well... I guess you will have to dig up local archives if none can be found inthe Book of Records..."

Lunarisse says "Well. They were all validly acquired off SCC markets. As far as I am concerned, the original holders are forfeit. However, if there are family ties, it is worth looking into."

Lyn says "The problem is to know where to look at... I mean, the Empire is not especially small...Ah yes, SCC.. Well at least the SCC probably keeps traces. The problem is, they are not really accessible to capsuleers as far as I know."

Lunarisse nods. "Well, It was worth a shot. I will contact the Lady Rkard." She smiles wryly "Nothing about this operation has been easy."

Lyn mutters uncomfortably. "It is counterproductive... But yes. Lady Rkard is probably your best bet. And she has connections in the Civic Court. Baseliner connections."

Lunarisse does not immediately move. She just looks blank.

Lyn looks a bit confused for a moment. "Uh. Maybe you should rest a bit. I mean, you look totally burnt."

Lunarisse responds vague "Huh." She looks up and refocuses "Yeah. Probably not a bad idea." She takes a seat by the library table. She flicks an errant piece of chicken soup off her dress.

Lyn glances reluctantly at her. "M-maybe it is not my place to say so but... You should delegate more. Specialized clerks would do as well and go a long way to do what you want to do..."

Lunarisse sighs. "I added Aria Jenneth to help supervise the baseliner medical and nursing staff when I am not here or I need sleep." "And to help talk with the refugees." She says softly. "Mr. Utari Onzo donated some therapy dogs. A pair of the medical staff has been delegated to use them and work with the children." Lunarisse chuckles bleakly "I assigned Lord Tash Murkon as dog walker... I... obviously wasn't thinking at the time."

Lyn almost chokes. "The worst thing is that I am pretty sure he would do it just to make a point.."

Lunarisse continues: "Karmilla Strife and Velarra helped me with the soup for the children,.. so much soup. And yes I know I should have let the baseliners do it." "I needed to feel like I was actually helping them." she says softly.

Lyn now looks really embarassed. She rubs her cheek awkwardly. "Maybe you would... Er. I see. Did you feel that you were helping them?" She asks out of curiosity, or maybe something else.

Lunarisse continues: "Sick children always like chicken soup." "Lord Zekekial Ilkyr and Ms. Strife's holder father have agreed to take those well enough to return to a Holder. " She pauses and adds "Seraphim Risen and Velarra have also helped me.. er... find long-term care arrangements for those unfit to go to a Holder." She sighs. "So yes, i've delegated. I think its.. the emotional and spiritual stress that has me so tired."

Lyn asks: "Do you feel you have not done enough?"

Lunarisse simply shrugs. "I feel helpless."

Lyn answers without much delicateness, though with no ill intent at all. "We are."
She adds. "Demi-gods or not. Especially when other demi gods have an opposite effect on what one tries to do." "I think that trying to make everything perfect is lying to oneself in a way. At least until we reach godhood itself."

Lunarisse says: "I question sometimes how God can allow such beings to exist if they are effectively exempt from retribution, in this life or the next."

Lyn tilts her head. "Very respectfully Directrix, and er... this is merely my interpretation of course... But I think that is where so many Amarr are... well. Misguided." "There is God, and there is God... The concept, God, and the God of men. Both are different." The God that we cannot fully comprehend, the Divine. And the God of our ideals. The God in the Scriptures, and the law of Man. The God that embodies the Amarrian ideals of their time." "If you are referring to the former, then I fear the answer is still out of reach. Maybe God has no moral scales and is above that. The universal? How could it be good without being bad, if it is universal?" She takes a breath, "If you are referring to the latter, then the question is, how can the Amarr let that happen. The answer is obviously within our reach here."

Lunarisse says testily "the Scriptures embody what we are to do and the consequences. But he - Nauplius- seems beyond them." She gazes at Lyn "But as for how we can let him happen, do tell me the answer as to how to stop him. PIE and the Society and others have all failed." "What is the obvious solution to Nauplius?"

Lyn responds: "Well, the God of Men is finite and has finite powers.... As for the other, why should he care?" She shakes her head. "If the answer was so easy I think the problem would have been solved long ago... But I would advise what works best against most capsuleers: ignore them to death."

Lunarisse says "That doesn't help people like those in our hangar." "he's made it clear to me, he wants to be left alone, When I offer to leave him alone if he stops even sacrificing them, he refuses." Lunarisse simply looks.. frustrated. "Nauplius would be quite happy to be ignored. While he continues to sacrifice and torture tens of thousands."

Lyn shrugs. "Maybe... Though if you look rationally at the issue, his actions are negligible in comparison to what happens every day around. But if you feel that it is for you to do what you can where you can, against the problem you are able to tackle and solve, then... I guess it makes sense." "That makes you a force for God. A finite one." "I suppose...?" She notices that what she is saying may not be what Luna is expecting to hear. "... I am sorry that I am unable to provide answers. It is frustrating." She hesitates a long time. "I... h-have something I have to say too." She looks away. "I think I will retire."

Lunarisse says softly "Oh."

Lyn starts rambling: "I have learned a lot of things,... But I think the answers I am looking for are elsewhere..." She looks back at Luna. "But I am ever grateful for what the Society did for me."

Lunarisse asks: "So I.. we.. didn't do anything to make you dissastisfied I hope?"

Lyn looks horrified. "N-not at all!" "The rest of Amarr maybe. I don't mind."

Lunarisse responds: "Well.. that's a relief anyway." She looks at Lyn. "As I've told other members of the Society, we don't own you. I accept that every member's stay with us will come to an end eventually. The door is always open should you decide to resume activities if you retire, or to rejoin if you leave." "I value the time you have given us, and I thank you for that." She says softly. "I will pray you find what you are looking for."

Lyn lowers her head, apparently pained. "Likewise... Thank you."

Lunarisse gives a faint smile. "When do you expect your retirement to take effect?"

Lyn responds; "P-probably something like a week..." "The library should be complete by then."

Lunarisse responds: "Wonderful." An impish smile comes to Luna's lips despite everything "I even know what i shall name it." "Well I look forward to seeing it."

Lyn blinks but doesn't notice. She has something else on her mind. She twists her fingers nervously.

Lunarisse: "Is there something else, Lyn?"

Lyn: "I do... not want to... keep. I mean.... it is going to sound awfully mushy." She blushes. "Can you tell Aria that.. I... well. like her? A bit." She lowers her head. "I mean, can you take care of her?"

Lunarisse's eyes soften. "Oh. I will certainly make sure she knows." She gives a wry smile "Ans to the extent I can take care of any of my pilots, of course I will do my best as long as she remains with the Society."

Lyn looks relieved, but rather eager to move on to another subject.

Lunarisse stands. "Thank you for your service Lyn, Hopefully I will see you this weekend for the Library's opening." She gives a bleak smile "it's lunch time and I have chicken soup to serve"

Lyn nods meekly.

Lunarisse exits.

Aftermath

Gottin's Lamp - Medical Bay

There are now 13,800 slaves remaining.  

Two therapy dogs 'Ebony' and 'Scruffy' are engaging with some children.  

A counselor is also going about taking down familial information."

Location: SFRIM Offices. Medical Bay. Nahyeen VII. Zoar & Sons Factory.
The main chamber of the medical bay is packed. Extra beds have been set on the floor and every spare niche. There are haggered, scarred and emancipiated minmatar on the beds being tended by nurses and doctors. A wall has been opened up and leads to a view of what seems almost like an endless series of bunks. The bunks are in barracks order and filled with people. Some are in small groups with white smocked counselors. Others are just staring into space sitting, while others are sleeping or sitting on the floor engaged in simple games or quiet talks. in short, total bedlam and a scene of quite a bit of misery.
There are now 13,800 slaves remaining.
Two therapy dogs 'Ebony' and 'Scruffy' are engaging with some children.
[ 2016.01.22 04:10:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is quietly talking to some of the night staff supervisors. The lights are dim for the most part and most of the day's bedlam is over.
[ 2016.01.22 04:11:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She is dressed casually, in a plain white linen dresss, as if she came to check on things before bedtime herself.
[ 2016.01.22 04:12:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes Esna, if he came to the Lamp to find Luna would be shown the way here.
[ 2016.01.22 04:12:15 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote had been shown in by an attendant, and now enters the medical bay proper - looking about has does, trying to spot a familiar base.
[ 2016.01.22 04:12:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is notified of the new arrival and makes her way over. "Hello, Sir." She says quietly.
[ 2016.01.22 04:14:15 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote offers a nod of his head to Luna - his face seeming to be stuck at a half-frown he is trying to keep down > Hello, Ms. Aspenstar. I presume this is why I was shown here? *He motions to the main chamber.*
[ 2016.01.22 04:15:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes." She says quietly "I still have many of them... the people Offworld helped to rescue recently."
[ 2016.01.22 04:15:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They were.. so badly traumatized only a handful could be sent to responsible holders right away."
[ 2016.01.22 04:16:13 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote sighs heavily > I can imagine. Blooders' work is always the most difficult to deal with...
[ 2016.01.22 04:16:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "At this point.. I've made arrangements for the long-term care for those who .. need much more help. I expect they'll be gone this weekend."
[ 2016.01.22 04:17:05 ] Esna Pitoojee > Where to, if I can ask...?
[ 2016.01.22 04:17:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But.. " she gives a bleak smile "I am running out of Holders I trust to send some of the ones who.. well.. I think are ready enough for that."
[ 2016.01.22 04:17:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says obliquely to some trusted places I am keeping in confidence so the Butcher doesn't find out.
[ 2016.01.22 04:18:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But they will be returned to me and then placed.. if they ever are ready to be.." she sighs.
[ 2016.01.22 04:18:56 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote nods slightly > I understand. Sometimes... *He shakes his head.* ...nevermind.
[ 2016.01.22 04:19:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But umm.. my staff... has identified a few thousand who we think can be put in a more permanent situation." She glances at Esna "These won't be easy. They still.. have a lot of issues."
[ 2016.01.22 04:19:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But... " she trails off...then blurts out quickly "I sort of hoped you'd be willing to help even if some other Holders call them damaged goods and tell me I should euthansize them"
[ 2016.01.22 04:19:56 ] Esna Pitoojee > ...I may be able to help with that, in a couple of respects. I have a few options for dealing with this sort of situation.
[ 2016.01.22 04:20:43 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote 's jaw drops slightly > They tell you to WHAT?! Never - never! Even if they can't get a 'normal' life ever again, that's no reason to just kill them!
[ 2016.01.22 04:21:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote simply grimaces "Nonetheless that is what some have told me." She looks visibly upset.
[ 2016.01.22 04:23:03 ] Esna Pitoojee > ...disgusting. *Esna shakes his head fiercely.* No - I understand. If you're willing to trust me with them, I will do everything I can to ensure their continued well-being.
[ 2016.01.22 04:23:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Milord.. in what respects do you think you could assist? I.. certainly trust you and Lady Rin or I'd not have asked you here.. but,.. forgive me. they've been with us so long I sort of feel a proprietary need to make sure of all the details'
[ 2016.01.22 04:24:51 ] Esna Pitoojee > There are two major programs I could sort them in to. The first will likely be seen by the most of them, and is intended for... well, really this kind of situation specifically.
[ 2016.01.22 04:25:06 ] Aria Jenneth > /emote pads quietly out of a nearby enclosure. She spots her Directrix immediately and takes a couple steps forward before recognizing her companion. Having apparently done so, she bows deeply to both Dam Torsad style and hurries on by.
[ 2016.01.22 04:25:32 ] Esna Pitoojee > Not just for Blooders' victims, mind you - I've had to deal with Cartel, Raiders, and everything - *He pauses at the guest, nodding after her and muttering a soft 'hmm'.*
[ 2016.01.22 04:25:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, listening. Somewhat tired, she takes the pressure of one leg and leans against the wall.
[ 2016.01.22 04:26:31 ] Esna Pitoojee > ...anyhow, the point is that this would be by no means a first-time thing for me. The other is intended as a program for those ready to live more independently, but we will see how many make it to that.
[ 2016.01.22 04:27:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And these programs are run and overseen by you, Milord?"
[ 2016.01.22 04:30:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote relaxes a bit.
[ 2016.01.22 04:31:12 ] Esna Pitoojee > The second program is effectively semi-independent, run by a council but overseen in practice by myself. The first program they would be put in to - for immediate trauma treatment - is purely overseen by my people, yes.
[ 2016.01.22 04:31:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Good."
[ 2016.01.22 04:32:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have 3,000 I could send... I think most of these might be ready for the second program but I expect you'll evalate them. I assume you would be their Holder?"
[ 2016.01.22 04:32:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Given that Nauplius bought them from the SCC in Empire space..i think no other Holders have a valid claim"
[ 2016.01.22 04:32:58 ] Esna Pitoojee > I can take you to meet the council overseeing the latter program, if you want. It has... a bit of a history to it, but I can explain that later if you wish.
[ 2016.01.22 04:33:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'd like that. But first I'd like to move these people out. I trust you, Sir."
[ 2016.01.22 04:34:58 ] Esna Pitoojee > Excellent. Transport as soon as possible, I presume?
[ 2016.01.22 04:35:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes. Just let me know the system"
[ 2016.01.22 04:36:04 ] Esna Pitoojee > I will. *He smiles widely.* Thank you for being willing to trust me on this matter... it is greatly appreciated.
[ 2016.01.22 04:37:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And thank you."
[ 2016.01.22 04:38:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "If you need to work with Lord Vulxcanis, I have no objection. His humane treatment of slaves is well known.'
[ 2016.01.22 04:38:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I remember he also assisted in their rescue,"
[ 2016.01.22 04:39:03 ] Esna Pitoojee > I'll consult with him if need be. *He nods fractionally.* I don't know what programs he has in place exactly, but I would not be at all surprised if he has a similar system set up.
[ 2016.01.22 04:40:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Please give Lady Rin my regards." She begins to look visibly tired "I need to retire and take a nap for a few hours"
[ 2016.01.22 04:40:36 ] Esna Pitoojee > Of course. Be well, Ms. Aspenstar.
[ 2016.01.22 04:42:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that one of the orderlies would show Esna out. Lunarisse curtseys then gives him a tired smile. She departs.

** Interlude **

Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory
Setting: The main gathering area of the Society, the bar sports plush leather couches centered around a long coffee table. Low music plays songs from around the galaxy. The soft blue lighting is easy on the eyes, but still light enough to see what you're doing and where you're going. The shelves are filled haphazardly with bottles of spirits, clearly labeled. The whiskeys shelf label has been taped over by Lucas. There is a shelf with rum on it, with a fresh label reading 'Alexi'. Above that, is Nicoletta's shelf, with juice mixes and exotic wine, with a few bottles of absinthe here and there. A long line of bottles of Quafe are on a shelf with a "DON'T TOUCH!" sign by Rhoxy. Johanes has a shelf with brandies and cognac and a lone bottle of smurgleblaster. One shelf labeled "Lord Anderson's" has three bottles of brandy from Gallente space, along with other liquors. Lunarisse's shelf has spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. New to her collection is one tall, elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Cream Liqueur, one tall elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Chocolate Liqueur, one stout, wide bottle with amarrian scroll work of Chocolate sauce with added black tea all wrapped in a secure richly coloured, dark wood box. A shelf labeled "Alizabeth" has several boxes of teas.There are a few other shelves that hold overflow and shared drinks for all. A well stocked refrigerator is behind the bar and equipmebnt to brew teas and coffees are behind the bar.On the walls are starscapes with Society members, painted by Lord Anderson.Against one wall is a majestic golden Tash-Murkon Grandmother Clock, secured so it does not tip.
There is Sarum Shepard named " Quark"
Exits: Gottin's Lamp - Kitchen, Gottin's Lamp - Sleeping Area, Gottin's Lamp - Library, and Gottin's Lamp
[ 2016.01.23 05:01:39 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote rushes through the bar, and into the kitchen.
[ 2016.01.23 05:01:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. Quark and two new dogs pad after all. She unleases them and them plops into a chair.
[ 2016.01.23 05:03:31 ] Rhoxy Runekin > ((aww, quark's all grown up!)) Rhoxanne returns a few minutes later carry a tray with a few cups balanced on it, the warm scent of chocolate filling the lamp as she enters, carefully making her way over to where Luna sits.
[ 2016.01.23 05:04:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up from the dogs who all settledin various poses near her.
[ 2016.01.23 05:05:13 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote too looks at the plethora of pups, "I prepared a little extra, but i didn't anticipate such company."
[ 2016.01.23 05:07:02 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote makes her way in and heads over to the shelf with the boxes of tea on it. She makes a polite bow to Luna. "Directrix." and starts to put some of the leaves into a paper envelope
[ 2016.01.23 05:07:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a bleak chuckle "Well 2 of them are on loan."
[ 2016.01.23 05:07:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "When the kids move out, I need to return them to Utari Onzo. They are therapy dogs/"
[ 2016.01.23 05:09:30 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote bos to Ali, then returns attentio to Luna, "That's so sad, I didn't know dogs could need therapy." she picks up a cup of cocoa, and sits. there's a cup for Luna, as well as two others as of yet unclaimed.
[ 2016.01.23 05:10:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head "No.. the children who suffered at the Butcher's hands, needed comfort."
[ 2016.01.23 05:11:57 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote takes a sip. "That.. makes more sense."
[ 2016.01.23 05:12:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They are pure love."
[ 2016.01.23 05:12:40 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote finishes collecting her tea and heads to the door.
[ 2016.01.23 05:12:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh Ali!"
[ 2016.01.23 05:13:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notices Ali and calls out. "Do you have a minute?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:14:20 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote stops. "Yes, ma'am." she says. "What is it?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:14:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Come and sit if you don't mind the dogs." She gives a wan smile. "My neck will hurt if I have to look up"
[ 2016.01.23 05:15:32 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote closes the envelope and takes a seat. "I don't mind them."
[ 2016.01.23 05:15:46 ] Alizabeth Vea > "They make for good stew."
[ 2016.01.23 05:15:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have a promise I needto keep Ali, even if it is.. unwise."
[ 2016.01.23 05:16:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "it's. a matter of Honor, giving my word." She looks at Ali "Something I am sure you understand?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:16:33 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote sips her cocoa, eyes shifting between the two.
[ 2016.01.23 05:17:27 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Yes, ma'am."
[ 2016.01.23 05:18:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I know this short notice, but can you escort me? We've been given a promise of safe conduct but I don't.. I domn't trust the word of a Sani Sabik"
[ 2016.01.23 05:18:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote adds by way of explanation "Queen Synthia I has won a candle lit dinner with me
[ 2016.01.23 05:18:35 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote clears her throat. "Perhaps you should tell me the promise?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:19:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I promised to give it to the winner of the contest, at a location of her choice"
[ 2016.01.23 05:19:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "My writing contest"
[ 2016.01.23 05:19:27 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote 's ears perk, "Synthia, that bio-android?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:19:30 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Where is the location?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:19:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says testily to Rhoxy "yes."
[ 2016.01.23 05:19:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says to Ali "Katrozopol in Delve"
[ 2016.01.23 05:20:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We'll be planetside."
[ 2016.01.23 05:20:05 ] Alizabeth Vea > "The honorable thing in this case is to kill yourself."
[ 2016.01.23 05:20:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "That might happen."
[ 2016.01.23 05:20:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do back up your soft clone."
[ 2016.01.23 05:20:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I need your expertise in space to get in and hopefully out."
[ 2016.01.23 05:20:56 ] Alizabeth Vea > "After you are dead, explain that you have satisfied honor and that you will not be meeting her for dinner."
[ 2016.01.23 05:21:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I've asked Templar Vadam to protect us on the ground. He will be carrying a small antimatter bomb"
[ 2016.01.23 05:21:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head "That is an obvious out."
[ 2016.01.23 05:21:42 ] Alizabeth Vea > "But acceptable."
[ 2016.01.23 05:21:53 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote just frowns.
[ 2016.01.23 05:25:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I disagree. I will keep my word."
[ 2016.01.23 05:25:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "besides..'
[ 2016.01.23 05:25:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a wan smile "We might get some good intel"
[ 2016.01.23 05:25:27 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Coordinates for orbital bombardment."
[ 2016.01.23 05:25:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "All kinds of intel."
[ 2016.01.23 05:25:44 ] Rhoxy Runekin > advances in AI?
[ 2016.01.23 05:25:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So I want you to pay attention if you come?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:26:20 ] Alizabeth Vea > "You want me to have a private, civil evening with a Sani Sabik android."
[ 2016.01.23 05:26:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You need not say anything. I want you to watch, keep your eyes open, and be ready to act if they renege."
[ 2016.01.23 05:27:40 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Next year."
[ 2016.01.23 05:28:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly "Next year?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:28:12 ] Alizabeth Vea > "Do not make such a promise."
[ 2016.01.23 05:28:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a bleak chuckle.
[ 2016.01.23 05:28:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I agtee"
[ 2016.01.23 05:28:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "is it so wrong I hoped a cute fellow would make me laugh?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:28:53 ] Alizabeth Vea > "You should have checked the author first."
[ 2016.01.23 05:29:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I should have. I try to read the works before I see the authors.. so I have no.. preconceptions"
[ 2016.01.23 05:30:22 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote nods.
[ 2016.01.23 05:30:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote yawns. "I am sorry for the late notice. But can you be on call tomorrow?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:30:59 ] Alizabeth Vea > "What time?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:30:59 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "Some day i'll enter one of your contests." she says, starting to drink a second cup of cocoa.
[ 2016.01.23 05:31:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "estimated time is 16:00-20:00 but it will depend on when the window of transit opens. We'll know on fairly short notice."
[ 2016.01.23 05:32:22 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote nods.
[ 2016.01.23 05:32:49 ] Alizabeth Vea > "I will try. I do not like this."
[ 2016.01.23 05:33:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I don't either but.." she raises her chin lightly "I will see what advantage we can get from this."
[ 2016.01.23 05:33:53 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "I.. almost wish I could come along."
[ 2016.01.23 05:34:07 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "Synthia fascinates me for some reason."
[ 2016.01.23 05:34:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'll.. share the logs. But I don't want to risk more people than I have to."
[ 2016.01.23 05:34:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "they try to seem quirky and strange but it masks a terrible evil"
[ 2016.01.23 05:34:47 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote nods. "Now, if you will excuse me, I need to backup my clone."
[ 2016.01.23 05:34:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Good night Ali"
[ 2016.01.23 05:35:04 ] Alizabeth Vea > /emote departs
[ 2016.01.23 05:35:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Rhoxy a wry smile.
[ 2016.01.23 05:35:20 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "if things happen to get messy, in our favor.. bring me something that falls off of her? preferably brain materials?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:35:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets an odd look "Perhaps. Let's hope it doesn't come to that"
[ 2016.01.23 05:36:54 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "yes, yes, that would be horrible... but on the off- chance." she looks down at her cocoa, trying not to make eye contact.
[ 2016.01.23 05:37:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "mMm" She finishes her cocoa and rises. the dogs all come to their feet. "I best go get a good nights sleep. I already backed up my soft clone."
[ 2016.01.23 05:37:47 ] Velarra > /emote slipped out of the library wandered in to the bar.
[ 2016.01.23 05:38:21 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote stands with Luna, and bows. "Best of luck, Directrix, Galactic spirit watch over you."
[ 2016.01.23 05:39:12 ] Cygnus Kahn > Staggers out of one of the private rooms.
[ 2016.01.23 05:39:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "thank you. good night Rhoxy" she notices Cygnus and Vel "good night as well." She departs with the dogs at her heels.
[ 2016.01.23 05:39:40 ] Velarra > Sleep well..
[ 2016.01.23 05:39:44 ] Cygnus Kahn > Well that is not game room.
[ 2016.01.23 05:39:58 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote notices the new people, and turns to greet them, "I... need to make more cocoa. would you likes some, either of you?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:40:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles as she overhears Cygnus and vanishes to her sanctum, and the garden lawn for the dogs.
[ 2016.01.23 05:40:51 ] Velarra > /emote regards Rhoxy thoughtfully > I.. mmm. I'm fine thank you.
[ 2016.01.23 05:41:02 ] Cygnus Kahn > I could use some comming off of a bender dear sweet At Rhoxy patron sait of Mining and hangovers,
[ 2016.01.23 05:42:06 ] Cygnus Kahn > I fell asleep back there and dreamed I was cold and floating through space
[ 2016.01.23 05:42:13 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote stares at Cygnus, processing his statement. "o-okay."
[ 2016.01.23 05:42:23 ] Velarra > I should probably get some good rest...Have a nice night, both of you.
[ 2016.01.23 05:42:46 ] Velarra > /emote offered the pair a bow and headed out.
[ 2016.01.23 05:43:09 ] Cygnus Kahn > sorry night
[ 2016.01.23 05:43:20 ] Cygnus Kahn > (leans on bar)
[ 2016.01.23 05:44:06 ] Cygnus Kahn > I fear I have lost my nerve recently.
[ 2016.01.23 05:45:19 ] Cygnus Kahn > mining and industry have been the runation of my fighting spirit. I am so worried abut isk and safty now and personal comfort.
[ 2016.01.23 05:46:05 ] Cygnus Kahn > Dreams are filled with horrors that before did not unnerve me.
[ 2016.01.23 05:46:32 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote slides the unclaimed cup of cocoa over to Cygnus. "do you.. want to talk about it?"
[ 2016.01.23 05:46:36 ] Cygnus Kahn > Now they drive me to drink
[ 2016.01.23 05:47:25 ] Cygnus Kahn > and to hide . Noe Dear Rhoxy I have probably troubled you enough about it ( sips cocoa)
[ 2016.01.23 05:48:00 ] Cygnus Kahn > I fear though that the next clone won;t come you see.
[ 2016.01.23 05:48:23 ] Cygnus Kahn > I have lost faith in the system I think
[ 2016.01.23 05:48:51 ] Cygnus Kahn > I am not sure I am all confused now. maybe it is the implants talking to me,
[ 2016.01.23 05:49:43 ] Cygnus Kahn > do you here voices when you close your eyse and dissconnect from everything?
[ 2016.01.23 05:50:12 ] Cygnus Kahn > I hearvoices somethimes even in complete silence.
[ 2016.01.23 05:50:33 ] Cygnus Kahn > Some times I think I recognize them other times no
[ 2016.01.23 05:50:49 ] Cygnus Kahn > They say useless things
[ 2016.01.23 05:51:22 ] Cygnus Kahn > but hear I go again ( sips and savors the heat)

[ 2016.01.23 05:53:01 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote nods, listening intently.
[ 2016.01.23 05:53:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > nn. afk now for the morning
[ 2016.01.23 05:54:54 ] Cygnus Kahn > The voices say things like that Jones is an up standing guy or you call that a pizza! Not quite a hair cut I would get! Excelsior!
[ 2016.01.23 05:55:08 ] Cygnus Kahn > I am just not sure where they come from though
[ 2016.01.23 05:55:46 ] Cygnus Kahn > I see things in my dreams that I am not sure i have seen before,
[ 2016.01.23 05:56:25 ] Cygnus Kahn > that is what I get for dreaming I guess. Not sure why I do it . It used to be a great diversion from all this but now.
[ 2016.01.23 05:56:33 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote starts to slowly inch towards the door.
[ 2016.01.23 05:56:51 ] Cygnus Kahn > Thank you for listening

Location: SFRIM Offices. Medical Bay. Nahyeen VII. Zoar & Sons Factory.
The main chamber of the medical bay is packed. Extra beds have been set on the floor and every spare niche. There are haggered, scarred and emancipiated minmatar on the beds being tended by nurses and doctors. A wall has been opened up and leads to a view of what seems almost like an endless series of bunks. The bunks are in barracks order and filled with people. Some are in small groups with white smocked counselors. Others are just staring into space sitting, while others are sleeping or sitting on the floor engaged in simple games or quiet talks. in short, total bedlam and a scene of quite a bit of misery.
There are now 10,800 slaves remaining.
Two therapy dogs 'Ebony' and 'Scruffy' are engaging with some children.
[ 2016.01.23 13:16:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that utari would be brought to this room once he arrived at the Gottin's Lamp. Lunarisse is here speaking quietly with the morning shift supervisor. The two dogs are in the corner with a handler and some children.
[ 2016.01.23 13:18:14 ] Utari Onzo > /emote wanders in to the room as directed. He gives a curteous bow to Luna. "Salve."
[ 2016.01.23 13:18:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a wan smile "Hello." She excuses herself from those she was talking to. "Have a safe trip?"
[ 2016.01.23 13:19:17 ] Utari Onzo > I did thank you. I hope Ebony and Scruffy have been helpful and not too much of a burden?
[ 2016.01.23 13:19:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances over to the corner "Oh God no.. they've been a Blessng. Thank you."
[ 2016.01.23 13:20:25 ] Utari Onzo > /emote looks over to the dogs with the children and smiles softly. "I'm glad. It's a shame I haven't been able to do more to assist."
[ 2016.01.23 13:21:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Every little bit helps.' She says simply.
[ 2016.01.23 13:22:08 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods. "I had intended to pick them up, but I'd like your opinion if their services would still be useful?"
[ 2016.01.23 13:22:51 ] Utari Onzo > /emote looks around. "It still looks like there is much work to be done for these people."
[ 2016.01.23 13:22:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I expect to have the rest..." she looks involuntarily at the room and the open hangars beyond "Moved by Sunday. So that's fine. We are slowly getting things packed at this point."
[ 2016.01.23 13:24:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks over to the corner where the dogs are. She says lightly "It's lunch time kids."
[ 2016.01.23 13:25:17 ] Utari Onzo > /emote quietly follows behind, a polite smile on his face, perhaps hiding a deeper look of sadness.
[ 2016.01.23 13:26:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that the staff would lead the children out to the portion of the hangar where food is served. A few steal in a last lick or snuffle from the dogs before they go.
[ 2016.01.23 13:26:36 ] Utari Onzo > /emote waits for the children to pass before speaking. "So young."
[ 2016.01.23 13:27:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "His slaves were all ages, but yes there were some children."
[ 2016.01.23 13:27:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote hands the leashes over to Utari "Can I get you a drink in our bar before you go?"
[ 2016.01.23 13:28:40 ] Utari Onzo > /emote feels the diplomatic smile fall from his face as he takes the leashes and knees down to ruffle comfortingly at his dogs. "It'll be hard to describe this as any kind of glorious victory.. These people will carry scars for the rest of their lives.....
[ 2016.01.23 13:29:21 ] Utari Onzo > But... I don't doubt SFRIM's assistance has been the first bit of basic decent good they've felt in a long while. History will remember that... And umm, sure. Perhaps a tea?
[ 2016.01.23 13:30:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sure" she says quietly, looking once more at the Butcher's handiwork, then leading Utari through the offices to the private capsuleer only portion where the common room/bar is located.
[ 2016.01.23 13:30:40 ] Utari Onzo > /emote follows along with dogs in tow, quietly observing the scene one last time before leaving.

Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory
Setting: The main gathering area of the Society, the bar sports plush leather couches centered around a long coffee table. Low music plays songs from around the galaxy. The soft blue lighting is easy on the eyes, but still light enough to see what you're doing and where you're going. The shelves are filled haphazardly with bottles of spirits, clearly labeled. The whiskeys shelf label has been taped over by Lucas. There is a shelf with rum on it, with a fresh label reading 'Alexi'. Above that, is Nicoletta's shelf, with juice mixes and exotic wine, with a few bottles of absinthe here and there. A long line of bottles of Quafe are on a shelf with a "DON'T TOUCH!" sign by Rhoxy. Johanes has a shelf with brandies and cognac and a lone bottle of smurgleblaster. One shelf labeled "Lord Anderson's" has three bottles of brandy from Gallente space, along with other liquors. Lunarisse's shelf has spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. New to her collection is one tall, elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Cream Liqueur, one tall elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Chocolate Liqueur, one stout, wide bottle with amarrian scroll work of Chocolate sauce with added black tea all wrapped in a secure richly coloured, dark wood box. A shelf labeled "Alizabeth" has several boxes of teas.There are a few other shelves that hold overflow and shared drinks for all. A well stocked refrigerator is behind the bar and equipmebnt to brew teas and coffees are behind the bar.On the walls are starscapes with Society members, painted by Lord Anderson.Against one wall is a majestic golden Tash-Murkon Grandmother Clock, secured so it does not tip.
There is Sarum Shepard named " Quark"
Exits: Gottin's Lamp - Kitchen, Gottin's Lamp - Sleeping Area, Gottin's Lamp - Library, and Gottin's Lamp
[ 2016.01.23 13:32:03 ] Utari Onzo > /emote enters the Lamp with Luna, and two black scruffy dogs in tow.
[ 2016.01.23 13:34:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way behind the bar to brew some yea.
[ 2016.01.23 13:34:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *tea
[ 2016.01.23 13:35:51 ] Lyn Farel > /emote is sitting in a corner of the room, maybe dozing a bit, or reading something. Or both.
[ 2016.01.23 13:37:00 ] Utari Onzo > /emote notices Lyn and gives a curteous bow if she notices, before heading to the bar. "Ooh, I've missed you two.." A round of fussing and licks begins.
[ 2016.01.23 13:37:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly " Quark and the dogs also got along." He comes padding out to see the fuss.
[ 2016.01.23 13:38:50 ] Utari Onzo > /emote grins as he notices the other dog. "Hey there, you want some attention too?" he offers a hand out to Quark to sniff. "Thank you for looking after these two Mrs Daphiti, and putting them to good work."
[ 2016.01.23 13:40:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It was a pleasure. As I was busy, Lord Tash Murkon was kind enough to walk them at times." She diplomatically leaves out the fact that he was assigned that duty by Luna.
[ 2016.01.23 13:40:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'Lyn can I get you some tea too?"
[ 2016.01.23 13:41:02 ] Utari Onzo > /emote more fussing and general rubbing of bellies. "A very kind gesture, I should be sure to thank him."
[ 2016.01.23 13:42:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote without waiting for a response, brew threes cups of tea. "How have you been Utari?" Perhaps Utari might notice Luna unconsciously has fallen into a less formal mode.
[ 2016.01.23 13:43:29 ] Utari Onzo > Busy, very busy, but well enough thank you.
[ 2016.01.23 13:43:37 ] Utari Onzo > And yourself?
[ 2016.01.23 13:44:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a wry smile. "I am sure it wouldn't surprise you if I said I was tired. This has consumed most of my time the past weeks'
[ 2016.01.23 13:45:15 ] Utari Onzo > Naturally. I hope soon you'll be able to get the rest you and your corporation need and have earned.
[ 2016.01.23 13:45:29 ] Lyn Farel > /emote snaps out of her bubble, stands up and bows hastily to the newcomers.
[ 2016.01.23 13:45:44 ] Utari Onzo > Ms Farel, good afternoon.
[ 2016.01.23 13:46:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote returns from behind the bar. She hands each a tea cup and she takes a seat in a comfortable plush chair.
[ 2016.01.23 13:47:24 ] Utari Onzo > /emote takes the teacup with a thanks and a bow of the head.
[ 2016.01.23 13:48:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'And you Lyn, how are you?" She asks softly.
[ 2016.01.23 13:52:40 ] Lyn Farel > /emote gets her teacup in a slightly daint manner. She leans on the wall nearby. "Oh... I am doing ok, directrix... If I may, it was more about you last time, that looked... er.. well."
[ 2016.01.23 13:53:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles wryly.
[ 2016.01.23 13:53:34 ] Utari Onzo > /emote sips at his tea quietly as he scratches behind Ebony's ears.
[ 2016.01.23 13:54:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And Utari do you have anything on your agenda now that you are back?"
[ 2016.01.23 13:54:53 ] Utari Onzo > Birthdays.
[ 2016.01.23 13:56:28 ] Lyn Farel > /emote eyes the hounds with a curious glint in the eye. More like something interesting than anything else.
[ 2016.01.23 13:57:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "Why don't you explain the dogs to Lyn?" She smiles.
[ 2016.01.23 13:57:54 ] Utari Onzo > Ah, yes, these two lovable rogues. This here is Ebony, and that's her brother. They're two mongrels I adopted from Mrs Ember, Halcyon's sister.
[ 2016.01.23 14:00:00 ] Lyn Farel > /emote nods at the dogs, as if presenting herself. She obviously has absolutely no experience with animals besides a few meetings her and there. She considers them for a while, tilting her head.
[ 2016.01.23 14:00:49 ] Utari Onzo > /emote seems happily engaged in scruffles with his own dogs and Quark between sips of tea.
[ 2016.01.23 14:01:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The children liked them. We used them as therapy dogs. All they really had to do was be themselves"
[ 2016.01.23 14:04:02 ] Lyn Farel > "Uh. I see. So it worked well?"
[ 2016.01.23 14:04:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It helped the children. Dogs are pure love."
[ 2016.01.23 14:04:25 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods. "I suspected they'd be great company to have."
[ 2016.01.23 14:04:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Utari.
[ 2016.01.23 14:06:44 ] Utari Onzo > Either way, I'm glad they've proven some help.
[ 2016.01.23 14:08:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "they have." She glances at Utari "Now what's this about birthdays?"
[ 2016.01.23 14:08:42 ] Utari Onzo > Mine and my brother's.
[ 2016.01.23 14:08:52 ] Utari Onzo > He's the 31st of this month and I'm the day after.
[ 2016.01.23 14:09:57 ] Lyn Farel > /emote nods at the statement on dogs, like taking note.
[ 2016.01.23 14:10:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh. Are you twins and that's how you were born inorder?" She looks curious.
[ 2016.01.23 14:10:34 ] Utari Onzo > /emote chuckles. "No. A quirk of timing. He was my 2nd birthday present."
[ 2016.01.23 14:12:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles.
[ 2016.01.23 14:12:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sounds fun though, An excuse to have a good long family gatheruing?
[ 2016.01.23 14:13:05 ] Utari Onzo > That's the idea, was hoping to run a joint party.
[ 2016.01.23 14:13:36 ] Utari Onzo > I had originally thought of asking for your services, but I assume you're extremely busy.
[ 2016.01.23 14:13:48 ] Utari Onzo > I wouldn't want to impose.
[ 2016.01.23 14:15:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. I'll be free by then, i think"
[ 2016.01.23 14:15:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Where you do want to have it?"
[ 2016.01.23 14:15:59 ] Utari Onzo > Hmm, it needs to be somewhere large enough to accomodate a fair enough number of our family, both on the Amarrian side and Caldari... Should the latter wish to turn up.
[ 2016.01.23 14:16:08 ] Utari Onzo > Then there's the capsuleer guests on top of that.
[ 2016.01.23 14:16:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh wow. Umm...." she thinks.
[ 2016.01.23 14:16:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I assume the venue would need to be in Empire space of course?'
[ 2016.01.23 14:17:12 ] Utari Onzo > Naturally.
[ 2016.01.23 14:19:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'Well.. I know there are some lovely gardens in Dam Torsad. There's also the winery I .. well loosely manage for lord Raholan. it is quite scenic and has a hall."
[ 2016.01.23 14:20:40 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods.
[ 2016.01.23 14:21:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Or we could just rent a nice restaurant like the underwater Trillion Aqua?
[ 2016.01.23 14:21:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "What strikes your fancy?"
[ 2016.01.23 14:21:53 ] Utari Onzo > Hmm... Definatly not winery, Miguel and I want an alcohol free party, for a number of reasons.
[ 2016.01.23 14:22:06 ] Utari Onzo > But I like the sound of gardens.
[ 2016.01.23 14:22:47 ] Lyn Farel > /emote looks back at a dog looking at her, expectantly. She tilts her head even further, reaching out, feeling around.
[ 2016.01.23 14:22:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright."
[ 2016.01.23 14:23:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Pick a time and let me know the guest list and I can work up an invitationand a menu for you"
[ 2016.01.23 14:23:42 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods. "Thank you Mrs Daphiti, I'll get to work on it."
[ 2016.01.23 14:24:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "No charge.. I appreciated the dogs more than you know"
[ 2016.01.23 14:25:17 ] Utari Onzo > I must insist on payment for the services, but I'm sure we can sort that out amicably."
[ 2016.01.23 14:25:55 ] Utari Onzo > /emote looks and notices Lyn eyeing the dogs curiously. He gestures for her to feel welcome to approach. "They won't bite Ms Farel."
[ 2016.01.23 14:26:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the her datapad "Forgive me.. I need to run and get ready.. for a trip"
[ 2016.01.23 14:26:58 ] Lyn Farel > "Oh yes... I know..." She eventually touches one. She doesn't seem especially scared or anything, just curious.
[ 2016.01.23 14:27:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises, curtseys and departs.
[ 2016.01.23 14:28:04 ] Utari Onzo > /emote bows to Luna as she departs.
[ 2016.01.23 14:30:49 ] Utari Onzo > /emote relaxes back on the stool as he watches Lyn with the dog.
[ 2016.01.23 14:32:20 ] Lyn Farel > /emote continues to caress the dog absentmindedly. "I fear that I may not impose a... presence to animals... Except that last time with that octopus..." She very slightly blushes.
[ 2016.01.23 14:33:19 ] Utari Onzo > /emote gives a curious raise of his brow. "Well, this one seems to be enjoying your company."
[ 2016.01.23 14:35:30 ] Lyn Farel > /emote looks a bit helpless. She seems maybe to actually want to do more, but fails to find what. "I... uh am glad to hear it."
[ 2016.01.23 14:36:43 ] Utari Onzo > /emote starts fussing at Scruffy, rubbing the back of the ears and neck. "Good boy, you've been a good boy. Oh I've missed you." He turns back to Lyn. "So, how have you been Ms Farel?"
[ 2016.01.23 14:43:52 ] Lyn Farel > /emote seems to think for a while, though she seems pretty much her usual detached, a tad depressed. "As usual... I hope it is for you as well sir."
[ 2016.01.23 14:44:20 ] Utari Onzo > Yes, things have been alright on the whole.
[ 2016.01.23 14:47:19 ] Lyn Farel > "I am glad to hear." She glances awkwardly at her hands.
[ 2016.01.23 14:48:15 ] Utari Onzo > Read anything interesting lately? I've been meaning to aquire some more books.
[ 2016.01.23 14:52:54 ] Lyn Farel > /emote seems to forget what she was brooding on, whatever it was. "Oh, i'm always reading interesting stuff... But uh.. people told me that I am unable to find stuff uninteresting so..." She shrugs.
[ 2016.01.23 14:54:05 ] Utari Onzo > /emote chuckles. "So, anything specific as a recommendation?"
[ 2016.01.23 14:55:00 ] Lyn Farel > /emote seems to be at a loss. "Uhh.."
[ 2016.01.23 14:57:09 ] Lyn Farel > "I was reading a fascinating review on insect life on Sujarento but... I am not sure you are into bugs.. Heh... A compilation of the works of late president Foiritain proved to be interesting recently too.." She scratches her head. "Honestly, there is (
[ 2016.01.23 14:57:31 ] Lyn Farel > "is so many things to pick from that.."
[ 2016.01.23 14:58:22 ] Utari Onzo > Well, I think political sciences and history is certainly a subject I find interesting, so I might just take a look at the Foiritain book.
[ 2016.01.23 15:02:28 ] Lyn Farel > /emote nods, a bit relieved.
[ 2016.01.23 15:03:13 ] Lyn Farel > "Well.. I hope it will be a pertinent suggestion then... I guess.. I will not be around for much more anyway.."
[ 2016.01.23 15:05:36 ] Utari Onzo > /emote nods. "I'd better get going myself. Have a good day Ms Farel." He finishes his tea, rises and bows.
[ 2016.01.23 15:08:08 ] Lyn Farel > /emote blinks as he gets the true meaning of her words wrong, but nods. "Yeah... likewise, sir..." She bows respectfully and departs for the library.
[ 2016.01.23 15:08:55 ] Utari Onzo > /emote departs with his dogs from the Lamp

The Skulking Furrier
"This Bar Chain Location is at Mabnen IV - Moon 1 - Emperor Family Bureau .An extremely out of the way bar. A total dive. But it has comfortable worn chairs and a well stocked variety of liquors and wines. A fire burns in a corner and there are tables throughout.
[ 2016.01.24 16:51:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters in her leather flight jacket and khakis. Her hair is damp as if freshly showered and hastily dried, pulled into a pony tail for neatness.
[ 2016.01.24 16:52:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances around, then takes a seat by the fire.
[ 2016.01.24 16:54:37 ] Zaichi > /emote made her way into the bar. She wore very comfortable Amarr commoner attire. deep ambers and soft dark accents. Bits of minor jewelry that to the curious featured small Angel flavoured iconography. Yet it was nothing too over the top. She carried ...
[ 2016.01.24 16:57:02 ] Zaichi > a vague trace of subtle coconut perfume within her hair and walked with a very casual, comfortable and relaxed gate as her eyes wandered about the place...She seemed both at home as much as quietly relaxed.
[ 2016.01.24 16:57:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances, recognizing Zaichi from her prior communication and a check Lunarisse did in the database. She rises from her comfortable seat.
[ 2016.01.24 16:59:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hello CEO Zaichi"
[ 2016.01.24 17:00:31 ] Zaichi > /emote headed over and gave Lunarisse a genuinely warm, if almost affectionate... while not stepping over any boundaries smile. Her tone was rich with a serene evenness that balanced with a melange of accents and multicultural flavours > Ms. Aspensta...
[ 2016.01.24 17:00:53 ] Zaichi > -Aspenstar
[ 2016.01.24 17:01:02 ] Zaichi > ?
[ 2016.01.24 17:04:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Yes, that is me."
[ 2016.01.24 17:04:45 ] Zaichi > I'm so glad you could make it. I trust your journey was uneventful?
[ 2016.01.24 17:04:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you.. bring willing to help" she says simply. She looks at Zaichi taking her in. "Yes, it was uneventful, thanl Goodness"
[ 2016.01.24 17:06:03 ] Zaichi > Excellent..
[ 2016.01.24 17:06:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a seat with me? The fire is cozy." She gives a wan smile.
[ 2016.01.24 17:08:18 ] Zaichi > /emote smiled easily and just breathed in the air with a sense of acute contentment > I'd love to.. This place is so very cozy..
[ 2016.01.24 17:08:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote returns to her comfortable chair. She gazes thoughtfully at Zaichi.
[ 2016.01.24 17:09:57 ] Zaichi > /emote joins Lunarisse and takes a rather near by seat in a comfy chair.. > I hope i didn't keep you here too long?
[ 2016.01.24 17:12:43 ] Zaichi > *keep you waiting
[ 2016.01.24 17:15:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Not at all." she says quietly.
[ 2016.01.24 17:15:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How much Did Velerra tell you?"
[ 2016.01.24 17:16:07 ] Zaichi > ... And please, Simply Zaichi is fine. As for the logistics of the situation, I was aware that the population would likely be less than fifty thousand. .
[ 2016.01.24 17:18:27 ] Zaichi > Beyond that, not a great deal.
[ 2016.01.24 17:25:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright. Well the number at present is 6,773." She sighs. "Less than when I spoke with Zelarra for both good and bad reasons."
[ 2016.01.24 17:26:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "A number recovered faster than anticipated and could be placed with Holders. Others unfortunately... died from the long-term effects of the injuries they suffered."
[ 2016.01.24 17:27:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'What remains is fairly traumitized cohort still dealing with the effects if the treatment that the Butcher, Nauplius. did to them."
[ 2016.01.24 17:29:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks carefully at Zaichi for any reaction as she explains "Velerra suggested you might be willng and able to handle.. long-term rehabilition..."
[ 2016.01.24 17:29:11 ] Zaichi > /emote frowns and regards Luna with look of regret as much as compassion > That's awful.
[ 2016.01.24 17:29:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slowly.
[ 2016.01.24 17:30:53 ] Zaichi > That being said... Yes. I, ... we do have the facilities for attending to the needs of troubled people here.
[ 2016.01.24 17:32:10 ] Zaichi > We have settlements, long term care facilities, and infastructure prepared for cases such as you've had to attend to in recent times.
[ 2016.01.24 17:32:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "What ordinarily happens to the persons cared for.. once care is no longer needed."
[ 2016.01.24 17:35:03 ] Zaichi > They are presented with options to remain within the communities generated, continuing to develop...and heal if they've suffered acute ... hardships.
[ 2016.01.24 17:35:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says carefully "You'll forgive me.. but I always assumed the Angel Cartel had a profit motive."
[ 2016.01.24 17:36:35 ] Zaichi > /emote smiles slightly > Of course...The Cartel does. Honestly it's a matter of the players involved and their wishes as well.
[ 2016.01.24 17:37:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "You would be truly willing to help these people.. and.. return them to me if they ever recover enough?" Her eyes show a mix of hope and wariness.
[ 2016.01.24 17:39:12 ] Zaichi > Generally, depending on who wishes the provisions made, we try to accomodate all involved. The Cartel is often left with those who are unfit for traditional socialization within the empire, frequently due to one health reason or another.
[ 2016.01.24 17:40:21 ] Zaichi > At worst ? It is a service...for all involved.
[ 2016.01.24 17:40:40 ] Zaichi > In that context, yes.
[ 2016.01.24 17:41:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "To be clear, It my desire.. in light of my responsibilities to the Society, both my capsuleer one and the Empire, that they be returned to me for re-homing with an appropriate Holder."
[ 2016.01.24 17:41:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am willing to help pay your costs.. "
[ 2016.01.24 17:42:17 ] Zaichi > The numbers moved within the empire and curse as a whole are vast. They make short term, small scale choices, ... senseless. As such i understand your concerns.
[ 2016.01.24 17:43:32 ] Zaichi > /emote looks to Luna thoughtfully > As for costs. Would you be agreeable to a floating boon?
[ 2016.01.24 17:43:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says warily "Well this.. small scale choice is a large one for me." She pauses "A floating boon?'
[ 2016.01.24 17:44:51 ] Zaichi > /emote nods > A favour, redeemable at a later date?
[ 2016.01.24 17:45:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I always told my children not to make promises I can't keep." She gives a small frown. "I guess it depends on the favor."
[ 2016.01.24 17:48:07 ] Zaichi > /emote nods > Of course. An understanding then of needs, and support provided? To be similarly recompensed at another time?
[ 2016.01.24 17:48:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "As long as you recognize my .. legal and ethical constraints. I am happy to return the favor within those boundaries."
[ 2016.01.24 17:49:53 ] Zaichi > Yes. I fully understand and wouldn't dream of taking you to places you'd rather not go.
[ 2016.01.24 17:51:02 ] Zaichi > I just... i don't enjoy exchanging raw currency for human lives, mmm?
[ 2016.01.24 17:51:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.01.24 17:51:52 ] Zaichi > I... like people. I like you.. But you don't pay for somethings.
[ 2016.01.24 17:52:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright then. I.. really appreciate your willingness to help"
[ 2016.01.24 17:52:26 ] Zaichi > Or at least, i don't feel that way.
[ 2016.01.24 17:53:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I can transfer them over whenever you give the word. I think we have.. an understanding." She glanzes at Zaichi.
[ 2016.01.24 17:54:29 ] Zaichi > /emote nods again, her tone warm, gaze relaxed and oozing with comfortable contentment as they sit by the fire. She withdrew a datapad and connected it to the stations' network > Please begin the transfer at your leisure....
[ 2016.01.24 17:58:22 ] Zaichi > /emote had input her mark and begun a direct trade contract process before she handed the datapad to Luna..
[ 2016.01.24 17:58:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote eye's glaze. She sends some commands to her crew and chief steward.
[ 2016.01.24 17:59:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Zaichi.
[ 2016.01.24 18:00:12 ] Zaichi > /emote looks to Lunarisse then and notes > You would be free to visit if you wish, of course.
[ 2016.01.24 18:00:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "I'd like that.. and I suspect my colleague Aria Jenneth may as well." She questions "Is the latter an issue?
[ 2016.01.24 18:03:56 ] Zaichi > Mmm..... In principal no issue. In practice she is complicated. But with some forewarning of her intended presence planetside i doubt it'd be a problem.
[ 2016.01.24 18:05:10 ] Zaichi > As, the islands we built are a wide ranging community of peoples. Now and then other, ... angels may be prone to paying visits to monitor the progress of their humanitarian investments.
[ 2016.01.24 18:05:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. "Yes.. I see. Her prior.. well. 'self'"
[ 2016.01.24 18:06:17 ] Zaichi > In brief. She's complicated. With planning and adjustments? No issue.
[ 2016.01.24 18:06:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well." she smiles a little warmer "Thank you. I will anticipate meeting you in the future, then again."
[ 2016.01.24 18:06:45 ] Zaichi > I'd rather not be responsible for the consequences of unexpected.. visits and complications.
[ 2016.01.24 18:06:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.01.24 18:08:04 ] Zaichi > /emote smiles warmly dancing that fine line between politess and affection > I look forward to spending time with you within our community planetside.
[ 2016.01.24 18:08:47 ] Zaichi > I'm sure you'll come to appreciate the value we offer here..
[ 2016.01.24 18:09:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I pray that is so." She rises. "Please pardon my lack of further socialization. Unfortunately, I need to run."
[ 2016.01.24 18:09:37 ] Zaichi > To the poeple we serve with the communities, and from afar.
[ 2016.01.24 18:09:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.01.24 18:10:00 ] Zaichi > Take care, Ms. Aspenstar. Fly safe.
[ 2016.01.24 18:10:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a Blessed Day."
[ 2016.01.24 18:10:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exits.
[ 2016.01.24 18:11:03 ] Zaichi > /emote rose and offered Luna a very slight bow before she too departed
