Subject: RPG Scott getting ready to rumble


Deny everything.
It seemed a good enough policy. So Trey did so. he next morning, he showered, changed, and tried to forget the fact that he had lost total control the previous night. He knew Chititri well enough to be sure she'd reveal nothing. And as for Tracie. Another surge of anger had him seeing red. But at least he was more disgusted with his lack of self control than with her intrigues. It would allow him to be around her, wihtout opening an outer hatch for her to get pulled out of. 
=^Well your humor has returned =^ Bonnie commented =^That's nominally a good sign.=^ "And how do you know I didn't just go insane and decide to go on a killing rampage?" he answered.
 =^Thos are your new boots. You'd not get them bloody.=^ 
"Smart Aleck. When I find out who programmed that sense of humor into you, I'm going to tack them to a wall and ask them why in a very determined tone of voice."
She was still chuckling as he made his way out of the bathroom. 
"It's the location you know." He said. "I don't like the idea of going anywhere near Garidia after what happened last time."
 =^Hopefully we won't have to. It's just a single run into the Romulan Neutral zone, rendesvous on the border, transfer supplies, and leave.=^
 "Sure. Simple. Join Starfleet, discover new and intelligent life forms and run away from them. Sheesh."
 =^Well I never promised you a rose garden.=^ 

Debriefing room.

Just because he was feeling better didn't mean he was going to make her life any easier. Tracie's feelings of regret melted into indignation as soon as she realized that Scott had recovered his smug self confidence. In spades.
 "In the event of discovery, what safety measures can we expect?"
 "Well." Atreydes answered "In the event we're discovered, and we can't cloak quickly enough, we'll get shot out of the sky. If we are near to any class M's, we'll try to land. If our landings' a no go, there is always the option of throwing the cot out of the ships window and jumping out after it. Hopefully it'll break your fall." 
Ty threw back his head and roared laughter. 
"This is serious!" she said.
"Unfortunately, Trey is being quite serious Ms. Reynolds." Chitiri pointed out. "If we are caught, we will be woefully outgunned, outsped, and outcloaked." 
"Is there any good news?"
"Yes." Ty grinned "If we get back, there is a vintage bottle of Trapisian Wine in my quarters." 
"That's outlawed." Tracie said.
"Please." Scott cut in exasperated "Get a clue Ensign. We're smugglers."
 "And fortunately for us." Ty rumbled "You have a need for smugglers. So you cannot arrest us all now." 
"When do we leave?" Chi asked
"As soon as we've finished loading up the rest of the goods." Atreydes replied" The Triumph and the Vertigo are being prepped. We're taking the Triumph with the Medical supplies. Castille is taking the Vertigo with the food and other supplies. Within the next two hours we should be ready."
