Well, I think I’m going to head off towards Ancient Artifacts. Anyone coming along?
Lt Commander Constance Stewart — Yesterday at 9:22 PM

CMDR Caressa Melanick — Yesterday at 9:22 PM
No i was just asking maybe if you could? The telepathy is overwhelming
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Yesterday at 9:22 PM

Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Yesterday at 9:24 PM
I’m guessing that’s based on proximity
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Yesterday at 9:24 PM

Cpt H Crow — Yesterday at 9:24 PM
I want to see their animals. ::motioning towards the sign which indicates their direction:: Imagine some big game hunting.
It wouldn’t hurt.
Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Yesterday at 9:25 PM
Perhaps an inhibitor would help block out some of the noise…?
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Yesterday at 9:25 PM
I thought about that. Maybe later
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Yesterday at 9:26 PM
::coos soothingly to the baby:: Looks like we’re keeping Auntie Trish from causing a diplomatic crisis.

:::Looks up, up, up at the tank:: Says here that the oceans we saw used to be this color when this species ruled the waters. Probably ink of some kind.
CMDR Caressa Melanick — Yesterday at 9:39 PM
::in fact the painting was pulling her in. She was trying to decide if she needed to panic::
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Yesterday at 9:39 PM
We still don’t completely know the politics of her people, or what made her so afraid for her daughter–or what might await her if they discover the princess had an heir.

Oh, she’s eating like it, too. Dr. Melanick had me add protein powder to her formula because she just yowls from hunger.

Cdr Edra Crow – XO — Yesterday at 9:59 PM
This says they’re secretive…I bet it’s cause they don’t want anyone seeing them trip on their own hair when attacking…how embarrassing!

CMDR Caressa Melanick — Yesterday at 10:01 PM
::The painting helped clear her thoughts and focus on a deeper scale::
Lt Millie Stepanova, Couns. — Yesterday at 10:02 PM
Sometimes. She’s sleeping better now that we’ve made the addition to her formula. She wakes up around 0200 and wants to play, so we’ve added a mobile with fuzzy poofs and a bell or two, so you can hear her bat at them in the night.
