* Admiral-Lilwall changes topic to '-=1999.206=- RP in session.'
* Admiral-Lilwall sits on the bridge staring at the veiwscreen
<Admiral-Lilwall> Cirrus, how long until we arrive in orbit of New Iceland?
<Cirrus> ETA 15 minutes
<Admiral-Lilwall> Good. The sooner everyone soaks in some off ship activties the better
<Admiral-Lilwall> Stardrive, you have the bridge. I'll go inform Waitstate we've almost arrived.
* Admiral-Lilwall leaves the bridge and heads for Waitstate's quarters
* SkySiren lays down on the couch in her room and tries to understand what happened to her before
* Admiral-Lilwall arrives a short time later and presses the buzzer
* Waitstate looks up from his terminal.
<Waitstate> Enter
* Admiral-Lilwall enters
<Admiral-Lilwall> 15 minutes from docking with New Iceland's orbital station
* Diablo exits his quarters and wanders the corridors
<Waitstate> Already?
<Waitstate> I've got to start paying better attention to time
<Admiral-Lilwall> your 'shore leave' idea for when we arrive was taken well by the crew
<Waitstate> hey, good
<Admiral-Lilwall> after that run in with Shadowstrike's, ahem, friends two days ago, the bots can't wait to get off the ship for a while
<Waitstate> understandable
<Waitstate> you manage to find any trade contacts in the area?
<Admiral-Lilwall> some on the planet's surface, one or two on the station in orbit
<Admiral-Lilwall> actually, we've had two requests for membership come up also
<Admiral-Lilwall> one wants to open shop too.
<Waitstate> word sure gets around
<Waitstate> open shop?
<Admiral-Lilwall> well, if you hate the cold, I don't recommend planning a trip to the planet's surface
<Waitstate> wow... finally get to use that space on deck 4
<Admiral-Lilwall> this planet isn't like many others. it has an east and west hemisphere instead of the usual north and south
<Admiral-Lilwall> one side of the planet is in constant darkness. and that's the habitable side oddly enough.
<Waitstate> that IS unusual
<Waitstate> fixed orbit then?
<Admiral-Lilwall> actually no
<Admiral-Lilwall> it spins on a different angle, which is why it's a west and east hemisphere
<Waitstate> ohh... ok, I get it
<Admiral-Lilwall> the dark side is comparable to an Earthern, American winter. and that's during the hottest summer
<Admiral-Lilwall> the other side is totally uninhabitable
<Admiral-Lilwall> too hot
<Admiral-Lilwall> the planet has a thick atmosphere, which traps the star's heat like a 'green house' effect
<Admiral-Lilwall> leaving the sun side too hot, and the dark side, warm enough to support the human colony that rules it.
<Waitstate> what's the population like?
<Admiral-Lilwall> last scan showed a human populace of 2million, with around 5000 cybertronians living there also
<Admiral-Lilwall> among other things at least
<Waitstate> that's a surprisingly large number.
<Admiral-Lilwall> very.
* Cuffs looks up from installing a energy net in one of the many corridors, and notices Shadowstrike. 
<Shadowstrike> Hello Cuffs.
<Cuffs> Commander. I am curious, if our prisoners claim to be your friends, why did they cause you harm?
* Meteor scans the planet as the ship arrives
<Meteor> Great! I've detected some old caves, there could be wall paintings to record
<Shadowstrike> Incompetence? I don't know. You best take extra security measures with those two, they can be, unfortunately, quite resourceful.
<Cuffs> I'll keep that in mind.
<Admiral-Lilwall> So what is it you've been buried in these last few days anyway?
<Stardrive> Ah... interesting.
<Meteor> strange that humans set up a colony on such a cold world. Anyway, I'm going to get some equipment ready for a trip to those caves.
* Meteor leaves the bridge 
<Stardrive> Ok, then... 
<Cirrus> We're about to enter New Iceland orbit. Orders?
<Stardrive> Shadowpaw, take over the science station please.
* Restore presses the buzer on Skysiren's door 
* SkySiren sits up 'yes?"
* Restore enters 
<Restore> how do you feel?
<SkySiren> *sighing* Ok I guess
* Cirrus taxies
<Stardrive> Shadowpaw, take over scanning, please.
<Cirrus> *Ahem* Orders anyone?
<Restore> you said you hadn't been yourself lately?
* Shadowpaw nods and sits down
<SkySiren> *shaking her head* I just hate how I lost it back there
<SkySiren> Well considering I attacked my fellow officers I would say no
* Stardrive contacts the planetary authorites with his internal systems since no one is at the comm panel and gets clearance for orbit.
<Stardrive> Standard orbit... if you can call it that.
<Cirrus> yes sir
* Cirrus enters orbit, then turns over telemetry to New Iceland control
* Shadowstrike goes back to her quarters.
* Cirrus leans back. Nothing left for him at this point
* Admiral-Lilwall looks out the window
<Stardrive> [comm] Stardrive to Waitstate.  We have achieved standard orbit.
<Admiral-Lilwall> well, we've pulled in. time to go for a wander
<Waitstate> [comm] Thanks Stardrive
<Waitstate> [comm] I'm on my way up
* Admiral-Lilwall leaves Wait's quarters for his own
* Waitstate leaves for the bridge
* Waitstate arrives at the bridge
<Waitstate> Status report?
* Lightning nods to Wait as he enters 
* Waitstate takes the Big Comfy Chair from SD
<Restore> well, if you have any problems with it Skysiren, let me know. I'll see what I can do. *leaves sky's quarters*
<Stardrive> Meteor went to get equipment to take pictures of doodles, and we're in orbit.
<Waitstate> thank you for the report :P
<Cirrus> Control reports that we'll be docking soon
<Cirrus> Navigational tractors engaged. Docking will commence as soon as we're in place
<Waitstate> Well... anyone have any plans for vacation?
<Stardrive> Yes.
<Lightning> I intend to spend all my time in my quarters
* Cirrus shakes his head in disdain at Lightning
* Waitstate ignores Lightning for the moment, and turns to SD
<Waitstate> oh?
<Stardrive> Yep.
<Waitstate> do tell :)
* Shadowstrike sits in her quarters and looks out the window dismally.
<Stardrive> I need to strech my wings... 
* Admiral-Lilwall hits the buzzer outside 'strike's quarters
<Stardrive> Tri and I are going to fly around a bit.
<Shadowstrike> Yes?
<Stardrive> First, though, she wants to go shopping.
<Waitstate> heh
* Admiral-Lilwall enters. "hey kiddo, we about to dock. most of the other crew are getting off ship for awhile. maybe you should join them, relax a bit?"
<Admiral-Lilwall> get your mind off recent events for awihle
<Stardrive> I wanted to go flying first... atmospheric flight is so different from spacewarp...
<Shadowstrike> I don't know. *sighs*
<Admiral-Lilwall> oh come on, blow some credits on junk you don't need, you'll feel better
<Stardrive> But we can always fly from store to store... if we visit them in the right order.
<Waitstate> Maybe I'll join you. I haven't had a good flight in ages
* Shadowstrike looks at AL and realizes she's not going to win this.
<Shadowstrike> All right, I'll go...
<Waitstate> of course, there's no way I could possibly keep up
<Stardrive> I guess we could slow down for you. ;)
<Admiral-Lilwall> good, now remember, you have to have fun :)
<Waitstate> very funny
* Admiral-Lilwall leaves quickly
<Shadowstrike> *to herself* fun, yeah, right...
* Cirrus swivels around in his chair
<Cirrus> Can I come?
* Admiral-Lilwall to Waitstate, I'm leaving for planetside now. I'm going to meet up with one of the new bots.
<Stardrive> It's going to be a regular airshow, isn't it?
<Waitstate> [Comm] Alright then. I'll see you when you get back.
* Admiral-Lilwall exits the ship, transforms to fighter mode and rockets towards the planet
* Waitstate watches Lil's flight planetside on the viewscreen
<Waitstate> Ug... we're gonna get fined by flight control for that
* Diablo takes a lift to the bridge
<Waitstate> Who? Overwrite?
* Shadowstrike leaves her quarters and meanders toward the bridge
* Diablo exits the lift
<Compter> Bridge access denied
* Lightning decides that now that the ship has docked, it's time to vacate the bridge for his quarters 
* Shadowstrike sees Diablo standing outside the bridge...
<Diablo> damn computer
* Diablo leaves the bridge for his quarters
<Shadowstrike> Hrm. Guess he didn't get OW's memo.
<Stardrive> *to Wait* Yep.
* Shadowstrike enters the bridge.
<Waitstate> heh, Overwrite filed two dozen requisition forms to spend that stuff. I knew in advance, trust me
* Admiral-Lilwall arrives in a busy street on the planet and transforms
<Waitstate> Hey Strike. Planning on vacationing?
<Stardrive> *to Wait* Do you have a contingency plan for when Zippo spends all your credits again?
<Shadowstrike> *none too thrilled* Apparently, at least according to Lilwall.
* Waitstate looks at SD like a cow looks at an oncoming truck
<Waitstate> huh?
<Admiral-Lilwall> Hm, densely populated for an outskirt town, rather busy too. even for this cold world.
* Admiral-Lilwall walks around the cold street looking for what he's looking for.
* Admiral-Lilwall enters a store full of ornamental objects
* Crevas slams into the bridge door 
<Waitstate> *to Strike* Well, you should try and enjoy yourself
<Admiral-Lilwall> Um, hello?
<Stardrive> *to Wait, quietly so Cirrus can't hear* Yeah, the one that's going to pull our shopping trip down to Mach 3.
* a small/medium sized female bot appears from a back room
* Shadowstrike hears Crevas thud into the bridge door.
<Snake-Eyes> Good day, how may-- you!
<Shadowstrike> Wait, are you SURE Overwrite put that memo out about bridge access?
* Admiral-Lilwall sighs and thinks to self "uh oh."
<Waitstate> not sure at all
<Admiral-Lilwall> Er, hello again. It's been...awhile.
<Snake-Eyes> what do you want? to have me beaten again?
* Stardrive grins at Wait as he misses the joke entirely.
<Admiral-Lilwall> Hey, I saved you from being killed remember?
<Snake-Eyes> and in the process you nearly got me killed! I'm busy, so if you don't mind...
<Admiral-Lilwall> Are you the bot named Snake-Eyes?
<Snake-Eyes> how did you know that... I never told you my name on Cybertron...
* Stardrive slaps Wait lightly on the back.
<Admiral-Lilwall> I'm Admiral Lilwall, 2nd in command and Internal Affairs consul for LONAC.
<Stardrive> Ok, then.  We'll go Mach 3 for Cirrus' sake.
<Admiral-Lilwall> If you'll excuse me, for just a moment...
* Stardrive quickly goes back to his station.
<Snake-Eyes> gladly.
* Admiral-Lilwall to Waitstate
* Diablo decides to return to the bridge
<Waitstate> Mach 3? I guess I'm out, eh?
<Waitstate> [comm] yes?
<Admiral-Lilwall> [com] hate to interrupt whatever fun you probably haven't started having yet oh grey one....
<Admiral-Lilwall> [com] but I think you should meet our new recruit right away.
<Stardrive> *grumbles* I was hoping for a more energetic reaction than that...
<Waitstate> [comm] what?
<Stardrive> These 'bots have no sense of humor.
* Waitstate glances amusedly at SD
* Diablo arrives at the same spot as before, waiting for the computer voice to start up again
* Crevas notices Diablo next to him
<Waitstate> [comm] Hmph. Alright, I'll be there shortly
<Computer> Bridge access is denied.
* Meteor leaves for the caves planetside 
* Waitstate stands, looks around
* Diablo is tempted to shoot at where the voice came from
<Waitstate> uh... who wants the bridge?
* Crevas beeps 
<Computer> Because you are not on the bridge access list.
<Admiral-Lilwall> Er, Waitstate wil be coming down breifly. In the mean time...uh, I'll just look around.
<Stardrive> Well, I'm on vacation now, so...
<Snake-Eyes> do not touch anything. *returns to back room*
<Waitstate> alright...
<Waitstate> Shadowstrike, the bridge is yours
<Diablo> what do I have to do to find out out how to get onto that planet, cos I'll jump out and freefall down there if I have to
<Shadowstrike> Fine.
<Shadowstrike> Didn't want to go, anyway.
* Waitstate exits the bridge via the lift Diablo and Cirrus arent next to
* Shadowstrike slumps down in the command chair.
<Stardrive> We'll bring you something back.
<Shadowstrike> No thanks.
* Crevas goes with Waitstate and the others so he can speed around on the snowscapes 
<Stardrive> Try not to meet up with anyone else you know while we're gone, ok?  :)
<Stardrive> If you do, just take them to a bar or something.
* Stardrive gets into the lift.
* Shadowstrike snarls
* Waitstate arrives in the launch bay
* Stardrive waves bye-bye as the doors close.
<Shadowstrike> Just as well everyone's gone.
* Waitstate TFs to car mode and drives out the open lauch doors, shifting to jet mode as he clears the ship
* Stardrive gets Tri and they go to the planet.
<Waitstate> [comm] New Iceland Orbital, this is Waitstate requesting permission for descent.
<NIO> [comm] Granted. enjoy your stay
<Waitstate> [comm] Thanks, out.
* Stardrive and Trilana contact whoever and get whatever.
* Waitstate begins descent into the New Iceland upper atmosphere and enters the high altitude traffic system
* Stardrive and Trilana enter formation behind Waitstate.
* Junky_LaFord comes up to the brige level.
* Junky_LaFord steps up to the doors.
* Waitstate homes in on Lil's transponder, coordinates with a map, then heads toward his location
* Stardrive and Trilana are in formation.
* Junky_LaFord goes inside.
* Waitstate flies to the nearest open airspace, heads to land, then TFs to robot mode for final descent
* Shadowstrike acknowledges Junky's presence on the bridge.
* Junky_LaFord stars ripping panels open.
<Shadowstrike> What are you doing, Junky?
<Junky_LaFord> 50,000,000,000 mile inspection.
* Diablo leaves once again to find the nearest airlock to jump out of
* Stardrives_Translation_Head appears over the communications console.
* Opal and Fragment wander about the orbital station 
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> He's doing general maintainence.
* Waitstate lands, then TFs to car mode and drives to Lil's location
* Admiral-Lilwall looks at some strange objects made from jewels
<Shadowstrike> Crimony, don't sneak up on me.
* Stardrive and Trilana fly along
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> Sorry.
* Waitstate parks in a nearby lot, then TFs to robot mode and walks in
<Shadowstrike> Aren't you supposed to be on vacation, anyhow?
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> Vacation?
* Admiral-Lilwall notices Waitstate
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> How would I go on vacation?
<Admiral-Lilwall> want to know how small the universe really is?  
* Waitstate grins
* Stardrive and Tri follow Wait
* Snake-Eyes reappares when she hears someone else enter, she notices Waitstate and is surprised to see him aslo
<Waitstate> I'm game. How big?
<Shadowstrike> Oh, nevermind.
* Waitstate looks over at the newcomer
<Waitstate> Hey, have we met before?
<Admiral-Lilwall> Waitstate, meet Snake-Eyes.
* Waitstate motions to shake her hand
<Snake-Eyes> hmph. yes.
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> Oh... We haven't met have we?
<Shadowstrike> Not exactly.
<Admiral-Lilwall> Er, Snake-Eyes here is the bot that was attacked by the autobot curfew enforcers a few years ago.
<Admiral-Lilwall> while I was, erm, in a bad way.
* Waitstate lowers his hand
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> I'm the Junkion Translation Hologram Version 2.332
<Waitstate> Oh.
<Snake-Eyes> I bear no ill feelings towards either of you. after all you did save and repair me.
<Snake-Eyes> but you, *looks at AL* I don't completely trust
<Waitstate> well... this is awkward, now isnt it?
<Shadowstrike> Ah.
<Admiral-Lilwall> Er, I understand completely. 
<Waitstate> Maybe I'm not one to talk, but I can vouch for him. These days he's got his drinking well under control
* Stardrive and Tri stand around.
<Admiral-Lilwall> *ahem* yes, Snake-Eyes would like to open shop on the Freedom
<Waitstate> ahh
* Trilana looks at SD questioningly... SD tells her what he knows on a coded channel. 
* Diablo forgets about trying to get onto the planet, and thinks of something to do
* Opal and Fragment watch a movie on the cinema 
* Opal takes Fragment's hand off her leg 
<Waitstate> well, we have almost the entire commercial area free. You'd be able to choose almost any location you wanted
<Snake-Eyes> *nod* when will you be leaving? I'll need at least a day to pack up everything here
<Waitstate> oh, we're taking some vacation time here. Lil likes to call it shore leave. We'll be at least a week I imagine
* Diablo moves towards the station
<Snake-Eyes> if you could arrange a shuttle to dock with the top of the store, I can have everything moved by tomorrow night.
<Waitstate> your store has a docking port?
<Snake-Eyes> Many building around here do. it makes supply runs much faster
* Cirrus checks his account... slag! It'll never be enough... :/
<Waitstate> Hm. Interesting practice. Well, I'll see what I can do about that shuttle.
<Stardrive> For cargo ships with those umbilicus ports also, I'd wager.
<Stardrive> Though they're few and far between these days.
<Waitstate> what kind of store IS this, anyway?
<Snake-Eyes> ornaments and the like :) 
<Snake-Eyes> many are made by myself, based on many different cultures from across the galaxy. 
<Snake-Eyes> many are also made by those other cultures. each one has different beliefs and so forth relating to the items
<Stardrive> I can see it now... the new line of snow globes with "I visited the LSS Freedom and all I got was this lousy snow globe" on it.
* Waitstate looks around for snowglobes
<Snake-Eyes> snowglobes are not among the *real* ornament classification. I can make one just for you though :) 3credits
* Trilana giggles 
<Stardrive> Well, for 3 credits...
* Trilana snickers 
* Chameleon grabs Powerplay and heads for the launch bay 
* Waitstate finds the concept of a snowglobe produced on this planet amusing for some reason
* Shadowpaw decides to head down to the planet so she doesn't get bored, and heads for the launch bay
<Snake-Eyes> 10 credits for a more professional one. I could make a small diamond replica of your ship relativly easily
* Stardrive gives S-E three credits.
* Stardrive gives S-E 7 more credits.
<Waitstate> do you work in pewter at all?
<Stardrive> Actually... can you make 2?
<Snake-Eyes> don't pay me until it's done :)  it'll be an hour before it's done :)
* Stardrive hands her 10 more credits.
<Snake-Eyes> ok, two hours :)
<Stardrive> Ok.
* Stardrive takes the credits back.
<Stardrive> No rush... 
<Stardrive> It's not like we won't see you again.  :)
<Powerplay> hey, where are you taking me?
<Chameleon> we're going down to that planet down there to take a look around
* Diablo waits for a shuttle to arrive from the surface
* Snake-Eyes goes to her back room and begins work on the snowglobes. 
<Admiral-Lilwall> Well, that went well.
<Stardrive> Except that 3 credits became 20.
<Stardrive> Oh well.
<Admiral-Lilwall> Heh, you just had to say no :)
* Fragment goes to the arcade while Opal watches the movie 
<Admiral-Lilwall> Wonder how she got the name 'snake-eyes'
<Admiral-Lilwall> oh and btw, no sign of that other bot that wanted to join. guess he wasn't as serious as he made out
* Chameleon and Powerplay arrive in the launch bay and notice the doors are open 
* Meteor searches through the cave system, so far not finding anything of interest 
<Waitstate> I hope she does metals. I have some commissions for her if she does
<Admiral-Lilwall> Look around at all this stuff, there's plenty of metal work here. wood, jewels and some other stuff I've never seen before
<Waitstate> true...
* Chameleon transforms into fighter mode 
<Waitstate> I want bigger stuff though. The ship needs some sprucing up
<Admiral-Lilwall> Willing to pay for it though?
<Waitstate> Sure
<Waitstate> Though I want a relief of the Freedom for the conference room first. It'll be her... I dunno... zoning fee or something
* Chameleon opens a hatch on the top of his fighter mode 
<Chameleon> hop inside Powerplay
<Admiral-Lilwall> eh, why not give her free rent and just take a percentage of any profits or something for the LONAC account.
<Waitstate> oh, I planned to do that anyway. this would be a "one time service charge" hehe
<Admiral-Lilwall> hehe
* Powerplay gets inside Cham and closes the hatch as Cham begins to fly down to the surface 
<Admiral-Lilwall> well, seeing how she'll be a few hours, I'm going to wander around the city and see what I can find.
* Admiral-Lilwall exits the store
<Stardrive> What happened to Cirrus anyway?
<Waitstate> I guess he decided to stay on-ship
<Waitstate> I told him not to come if he thought he'd have to borrow money from me again.
* Shadowpaw goes to her quarters
* Shadowstrike twirls her sword absentmindedly.
* Stardrives_Translation_Head hovers
* Waitstate steps out of the store with SD and Tri
<Waitstate> So... where are you two headed?
<Trilana> Shopping :D
<Waitstate> for anything in particular?
<Stardrive> Throw more credits out the airlock.
<Stardrive> Nothing in particular.
<Waitstate> heh
<Waitstate> hmm
* Chameleon and Powerplay land on the surface 
<Waitstate> I'm gonna check the local hardware I think. Never know what they might be developing for computers in a cryo-haven like this
* Powerplay jumps out the hatch as Cham transforms to robot mode 
<Stardrive> Not like I care, the amount of junk from the Verrellian side of the galaxy that we sold back on Arianis alone is enough to keep us shopping for years.  
<Waitstate> heh
<Waitstate> good. I'll look to you next time we need a refit :)
<Stardrive> Did I say years?
<Stardrive> I meant weeks... well, see ya...
<Stardrive> ;)
* Waitstate laughs
* Trilana smacks his shoulder*  You have enough of those things in storage in the cargo bays to buy a new ship.
* Waitstate laughs harder
<Stardrive> Yes, but I'd like them to last me a few centuries, at the very least.
<Stardrive> Then we'll take all the crap we collected on this side of the galaxy, and go back to the other side.
<Waitstate> Sounds like a plan
<Stardrive> It's worked so far.
* Admiral-Lilwall arrives back with the others
<Admiral-Lilwall> you won't believe what I just got 
<Waitstate> maybe we can drag the whole ship over there next time
* Waitstate turns
<Waitstate> hey Lil... what?
<Admiral-Lilwall> a trade deal
<Stardrive> People would buy a self sealing stembolt if they thought it was rare.
<Waitstate> hey, alright
<Waitstate> details?
<Admiral-Lilwall> we pick up an entire mega ton of construction equipment at the end of the week and ship it to Gynhuk VI
<Waitstate> ahh... cargo delivery then
<Admiral-Lilwall> that isn't the best part
<Stardrive> We drop you off too?
<Admiral-Lilwall> we pull it off, we get paid 35,000 credits
<Admiral-Lilwall> I've already got bots on the ship to do back ground checks on the traders just so we know they aren't slaggin us
<Waitstate> what? do we have to navigate an ion storm or field of naked singularities or something to get there?
<Stardrive> Wow... that's like... uh...  hell... two or three crates of stuff...
<Admiral-Lilwall> beats me.
<Stardrive> 35,000 credits for one megaton of cargo... that's hazard pay... it's gotta be.
<Admiral-Lilwall> soon find out once the info about the route is determined by the ship.
<Admiral-Lilwall> but it's certainly not like we can't do with the cash
* Stardrives_Translation_Head hovers next to Shadowstrike while Junky works on consoles.
<Waitstate> true enough
<Waitstate> I'll get Bit on a space fold routine. Maybe they aren't counting on us having a SF drive :)
<Admiral-Lilwall> anyway, I found a nightclub not too far away, I'm gonna go waste some time there, cya
* Shadowstrike gets the creeps with the hologram hovering over her.
* Admiral-Lilwall transforms and flies off
* Waitstate waves "bye"
<Shadowstrike> So, who didn't go down to the mudball?
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> Well, I'm kinda built into this console... so...
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> I can't really go much farther than the walls of the bridge, you see.
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> I'm still a work in progress.
* Waitstate notices a computer shop across the way and goes inside
<Shadowstrike> Ah.
* Stardrive looks at the sign.
<Stardrive> "Subspace Radio Shack"
* Stardrive sees Cham and Powerplay walking by.
<Stardrive> What are you two up to?
<Chameleon> Just wandering around at the moment
<Stardrive> Well, don't get lost.
<Chameleon> Don't worry, don't think we'll be getting lost here
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> I don't believe I've seen the bridge this empty before.
<Shadowstrike> Yeah, fairly dull.
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> Then again... I've only been activated once or twice before for anything other than testing or upgrading.
* Waitstate thumbs through the game aisle
<Stardrive> Well, try to stay out of trouble, you two.
<Shadowstrike> I see.
* Waitstate offhandedly wonders why they are still making Mortal Kombat games...
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> Normally, Stardrive is here to translate for Junky there.
<Chameleon> we'll try our best not to
<Stardrive> Let's hope that's enough.
<Shadowstrike> He and Trilana are off "shopping".
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> But when the comm panel detected Junkion speech patterns, and Stardrive was not available, I was activated automaticly.
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> Is that what they're calling it nowadays?  ;)
<Cirrus> Hey, when'd they give YOU a personality?
* Stardrives_Translation_Head accesses data.
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> In version 2.001
* Shadowstrike winces.
<Shadowstrike> A bit too literal.
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> Apparently he inadvertenly added too many prime time sitcoms at one time.
<Shadowstrike> Cirrus, why aren't *you* on vacation?
<Cirrus> Nice segway, lady. If you must know, I'm broke and Wait won't lend me any more money
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> As you will most likely notice, I have no fixed personality.  It tends to change at random as a result of all the data storage.
* Shadowstrike chuckles
<Shadowstrike> Where'd you spend all of your credits?
* Diablo goes back to the freedom since he cant be bothered to wait for a shuttle to the surface
<Cirrus> Err... around
<Shadowstrike> ah.
* Stardrive goes to look for Wait.
* Trilana goes also 
* Shadowstrike keeps twirling her sword absentmindedly.
* Waitstate picks up a supply of 2TB optical media
<Junky> Aye-yi-yi mi amigo, stop twirlin them six-guns and roses before the petals fall off and you get aphids.
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> He said, I really wish you wouldn't do that with your sword.  You might damage something important.
<Shadowstrike> Don't worry, Junky. I've been doing this forever.
* Stardrives_Translation_Head looks at the cut marks in the ceiling.
<Stardrives_Translation_Head> You don't say...
* Waitstate ponders some new 100GBps relays
* Snake-Eyes reappears after a few hours with the two snowglobes 
* Waitstate changes topic to '-=1999.206=- Meeting Adjourned. Gah.'
