[Kalen - 3 p.m]
Tr'Remi has returned from the planet after his brief period of
incarceration to find main engineering afettered. He scans the room
full of officers working to return everything to normal before "daddy"
gets home. Remi walks over to his console and takes a seat behind his
desk.
No one has even noticed that he entered the room. He looks around half smiling at his crews cometency and efficiency. Remi's eyes wander in the direction in the warp core.
ACTION> Screams are heard as Remi runs over to the still. All officers
Stop working at once and stare at Tr'Remi.
Tr'Remi>Noooooo!!!! ::the still is hanging out of the jefferies tube with wires and circuitry protruding from it's casing:: Why could'nt it have been me!!??? Why!!??????
Tr'Remi picks up the still in his arms as if it were a baby and holds it close to his chest as he sobs. He looks around at the rest of the crew, who are all staring with raised eyebrows. Remi hugs the still closer and crawls into the jeffries tube and falls asleep. The crew all shake their
heads and continue working.
[3:00a.m]
Remi awakes inside the jeffries tube cramped and confused as to why he is in a jeffries tube. He crawls out still holding the still and lays it on his desk. Remi walks out of main engineering cathartically toward the mess hall. He walks over to the replicator and orders a glass of rhenish.
Remi sits down with some of the other crew, still dazed. A few moments later Raith walks into the mess looking just as dazed as Remi. Remi salutes Raith from the far end of the table the table.
Tr'Remi>Jolan Tru Rekkhai!!!......::sobs::
Tr'Raith>Im sorry about the still Remi... she made us all proud...
Remi looks up- a bit suprised as he hasnt reported the equiptments
destruction yet.
Tr'Remi>Ie, she will have kin in the future though! ::He raise his glass in salute to his departed love and downs the liquor::
Remi sits quietly contemplating for a while and nursing his
rhennish. He stares blankly at Raith, but notices something a bit different about him. A bit disturbed by the unusual pulsating in his commander's eyes, Remi raises an eyebrow and asks if Raith is ok.
Tr'Raith> Reds... Blues... greens. Hole F#@&$%g rainbow. To Remi's
bafflement that seemed to make scense to him. Deep down in his mind it
felt like his question had been answered sufficiently. Puzzled he pours
himself another glass and contemplates its implications as related to space time and quantum theory.
