“No I am.... Dad,” he said making the ultimate Dad joke. “Who are you?” He frowned a moment looking the XO over then nodded his head again and just continued with what he was just saying, “’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.”
GM Wombat
Confusion and concern etched itself more deeply into Dira’s features for a moment before she gave the man a reassuring smile. “Well, Dad… is that what I should call you,” she said with a slight wink, playing along for the time being. “I’m Dira.” Despite the confusing speech, the man did seem capable of some regular speech, but she wanted to get him to the Infirmary to get looked over.
Commander Myqian, XO
OOC: Cross Post
IC: Before NC Dad could respond further with his rhyme, a slight Irish came over the comm system, =/\= NE Sweeney to, uh, Commander Myqian I guess. Ma’am my Department Head and Ensign Iyun… Well half of the science department really are having tea and cake in the middle of the science lab. I don’t think that is very safe.=/\=
=/\=Myqian here. Uhhh.. waht do you mean…=/\= But Dira didn’t get to finish her sentence.
NC Dad giggled then exclaimed, “Come Dira! To the science labs! We must tell cake and eat bad jokes” And with that he bounded up and leaped towards the Science labs.
Her brow furrowed and her mouth set into a decided frown. Okay, this was weird.
About this same time another NE came up huffing and puffing to the XO. “Ma’am… Promenade… Captain… Arien stars,” he leaned forward and grabbed his knees taking deep breaths, “Oh for crying out load. The Captain has gone mad. She is wearing a poofy dress…”
GM Wombat
=/\= Mason to Myqian, =/\= he said cautiously. =/\= I need to talk with you immediately, in person. =/\=
– Robert Mason, CE
For a moment Dira was overwhelmed by the influx of information. She lifted her hands, palms facing forward and then lifted her right index finger to the NE. “Hold that thought.”
=/\=Myqian here,=/\= she said to Mason. =/\=I… have a feeling I might know what you’re going to tell me. Meet me in the merchant area, but hurry, I’m fielding all sorts of… interesting reports at the moment. =/\=
Commander Myqian, XO
=/\= On my way, =/\= he replied.
About a minute later, Bob appeared and walked right up to Dira.
“When you met the Captain before, did she have a habit of speaking as though she is the Queen of Hearts?” he asked her. “Because she seemed normal for about the first 10 seconds when I just met her.”
– Robert Mason, CE
Dira’s mouth just opened and she said nothing at first. Then, jaw shut, she frowned and looked at the NE and then at Bob. “Right, okay. I’ve met with Captain Taylor frequently since I arrived and she’s perfectly sane. Now, I’m getting reports of people acting strangely in the science labs too. Something is clearly going on and we need to figure out who all is affected and what is affecting them and how. We need to regroup somewhere and figure out who’s still okay.” Her mind was focused on what information they knew and it was not very much at all.
The XO turned to the NE. “Have you encountered anyone else from the Ogawa crew like this? Or any of the Starbase staff?
Commander Myqian, XO
At that point a blue haired teenager in a purple hoodie arrived looking confused and a little worried, he chewed his black metal lip ring and noticing Dira came over to her.
“You’re the new Executive officer right? Commander Myqian? Have you any idea what the hell my sister is doing walking around looking like Queen fricking Victoria on shrooms?”
Cai
Dira took in the newcomer with a sympathetic expression. She hadn’t met Cai yet, but drew the connections quickly. “That’s me. You can call me Dira. You’re Cai, right?”
She exhaled. “We don’t know exactly what is going on but we’re working on it. It’s not just your sister and we’re not sure how many people are affected.” Dira glanced the other two for a moment and then back at Cai. “Stick with us for now. But if I ask you to stay put somewhere, I need you to do so, okay?”
Commander Myqian, XO
The NE had finally caught his breath as he stretched up right. “Well ma’am, you know as much as I do. There is a Walrus near one of the airlocks, the gym is in shambles, the queen is holding court and seems intent on starting to collect some heads.” He looked to the CE then and nodded, “She is normally quite level headed but yeah, that dress makes her look like something else doesn’t it?”
He glanced back to the XO, “I don’t know what the rhyme or reason is. I’d suggest we talk to science but, you know. Tea party.”
GM Wombat
At that moment, over the general address system the cheery computer voice announced =/\= Attention Code Orange. Repeat, Code Orange. All emergency personnel are required to respond to their duty stations for briefing.=/\=
The NE sighed and turned to the XO, “Well someone just announced a hazardous materials escape so maybe that is it?”
GM WombatCai stood back and watched a little bemused looking. When he alert sounded he looked up and swore. “Well that’s not good.”
Cai
The reports kept piling up for the XO: =/\=NE Obvious to Security and XO… We have an incident in the science lab. Seems the reported spill is in here. They must have spilled the good stuff cause, well, I think the chief is going to regret this in the morning.=/\=
