Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20030718.log'
<Katrina`> Time Chart: September 10th, 2222. Nearly a Month Later
<Katrina`> Location: The Aquarius
* Sardis stands in the training room, blocking attacks from the sim with a forearm mounted sheild.
* Katrina` sits in the Aquarius' bar, enjoying herself a nice glass of wine. She sighs, currently out of uniform - a big unusual step for her - going for some casual clothes - a green shirt and and white shorts. She seems to be taking in the relaxation, as the Aquarius has done no big assignments since their "failure" last mission
*** Sherinmir is now known as Cardinal
<Katrina`> GM: *the bridge is quieter than normal, with only Ensign 3 on deck, at the communication station. He's slumped against his console, eyes closed, as he sleeps. So far, over the past month, various people have been reassigned from the Aquarius, depleting the crew. Scrapper was one of the first to go.
*** Cardinal has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
*** BE_Phone is now known as Blindeye
<Sardis> Sim off.
*** Cardinal has joined #taw
* Sardis places his axe into it's sheith, deactivating the sheild on his forearm. He steps out into the training hall, looking around. His red eyes glare in the light as he heads for the door.
* Katrina` drains her wine glass of it's contents, setting the cup down. She stretches some, then asks for a refill. As she waits for her glass, she takes a look at a notebook she's brought with her.

*** Set by DeathStar on Fri Jul 18 15:45:20
<Katrina`> GM: *another removal from the Aquarius' line up is the quirky computer, Skippy. Someone, about a week ago, removed his voice chip and erased his personality memory. The culprit, as if yet, has not stepped up to claim responsibility. And with Scrapper reassigned, no security investigation has been launched*

*** X1 has joined #taw
* Sardis steps out into the hall, taking in the growing emptiness of the ship.
* Katrina` flips through the pages in her notebook, nodding a thanks to the bartender as she takes the wine glass he slides over to her. She takes a sip from it as she goes over her notes.
<Katrina`> GM: *suddenly, Ensign 3 jerks near Cardinal, looking around with a blank stare. He cups a hand to his ear, obviously getting a communication message in his headset*
* X1 slides up next to Katrina in a crushed blue velvet suit.
<X1> Sooo, come here often?
*** Cardinal has quit IRC (legend.esper.net cosmos.esper.net)
<Katrina`> GM: *in the last month, Shiva has all but taken over the operations of the hanger, booting Corvus out whenever he dares appear with his techies. She seems to be working more and more on the mechs, rarely ever leaving the hanger to see anyone else*
* Katrina` pauses, looking at X1. Her eyebrow raises sharply as she takes in his new "look".
<Katrina`> Can I help you, Mr. X1?
*** Blindeye is now known as BE_semi-idle
<X1> No, no, the question is 'Can I help you out of those pants?'
*** Cardinal has joined #taw
* Katrina` blinks in surprise, trying to look down as her cheeks turn a bright shade of red, much like her hair. She coughs, looking from side to side.
<Katrina`> X1... Quit teasing me.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Captain, we're getting a message from Alliance Command. They said they wish to speak with you.
* X1 takes Kat's hand in his, stroking it. "Come now, mon shari, come away with me! We shall build a little grotto in a village somewhere and have lots of babies!"
* Cardinal looks up fro her keyboard
<Cardinal> ...Ok.
* Sardis steps onto the bridge.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: I'm putting it on the viewscreen...now.
* Katrina` looks around, feeling her heart beaten quicker at this joke. She's obviously flabbergausted, her logic telling her it's just X1's wacky programming acting out once again.
<X1> And then...when the fish are ripe, we shall harvest them and make sweet sweet love.
* Cardinal chews on the end of her pen
<Katrina`> GM: *the viewscreen crackles, then an Admiral appears, one that even Cardinal doesn't recognize. He stands there* Captain.
<Corvus> NRP: <Cardinal> Mmm...pen...
* X1 stops
<X1> I feel a presence...
<Cardinal> Sir. *salutes*
<X1> A presence I have not felt since...
<Katrina`> A presence?
* X1 jets out of the bar
<Katrina`> ....
<Katrina`> What was that all about?
* Corvus sips his drink and shrugs, suddenly on the other side of Kat
<Katrina`> Admiral: *salutes back, nodding* I'm Admiral Collins. I've have some ... news to give you and your crew, I'm afraid.
* Katrina` looks to Corvus, blinking. She turns her head to the side, then back. She goes to speak, but then decides the two glasses of wine she had were just too much.
* Sardis eyes the viewscreen.
* Cardinal relaxes her salute and leans forward intently
<Cardinal> Yes, Admiral? What's up?
* Corvus drinks, occasionally glancing at Kat
<Katrina`> Admiral Collins: As of today, we are sending in a new Captain to take over the duties of the Aquarius. He should be arriving in about an hour to assume command. We want you to prepare everything he will need when he arrives for the command and aid him in any possible manner.
* Katrina` turns back to her notebook, playing with a strand of her hair as she does so.
* Corvus peers over her shoulder
<Cardinal> W...what...? If... if I may ask, sir, what prompted this decision?
* Sardis looks ato Cardinal.
<Katrina`> GM: *the notebook seems to be random scientific findings the Aquarius has come across since it's launch. It seems Kat keeps an entry of everything that happens*
<Katrina`> Admiral Collins: The new Captain will inform you why when he arrives - if he decides it is appropriate.
<Cardinal> ...I understand.
<Katrina`> Admiral Collins: Alliance Command, out. *the view screen flickers off. Ensign 3 stares, his jaw partially hung open*
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: They...they can't replace you.
* Cardinal shrugs with a sign
<Cardinal> They can. And apparently, they did...
<Sardis> Interesting.
<Katrina`> NRP: I shrug with a sign all the time.
<Cardinal> NRP: SIGH
<Sardis> NRP: I just flip people off.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: After everything you've done? You need to fight this, Captain.
<Cardinal> ...Everything I've done may be the very reason they've replaced me...
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Ask Sardis. Sardis, hasn't she gone beyond the call of duty?
<Sardis> I'm just a soldier, it's not my place to say anything on the matter.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: ... Ass. You just stand there all silent. *Turns to the Captain* You need to call a meeting and inform the senior staff. They'll support you.
<Cardinal> ...I appreciate your trying to make me feel better, number 3... that's a good idea, actually... *flips on the PA* Katrina Star, Corvus Skiers, and X1, report to the bridge. Repeat, Katrina Star, Corvus Skiers, and X1, to the bridge. *flips it off*
* X1 stands next to Cardinal
* Corvus looks up and sighs
* Katrina` looks up. She reaches out, grabs her wine glass, and drains the contents quickly, closing the notebook and putting it into her short pockets.
* Katrina` hops off the barstool and her way to the elevator, glancing at Corvus
* Corvus looks at Kat, then down and walks out, hitting his forehead
<Corvus> Stupid stupid stupid.
<Katrina`> Um, Corvus? Were you saying something?
<Cardinal> ...Why do I get the sudden feeling I just interrupted something? *shrugs*
* Corvus looks up, flustered. "Uh, me? Hahaha, no, no!"
<Katrina`> O...kay...
<X1> Because they wanna go at it like rabbits?
* Katrina` steps into the elevator, cupping her hands together as she waits for Corvus to get in, flashing him a smile.
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: *pops up from behind a random console* I'm here, Captain.
* Corvus steps on solemnly
* Katrina` leans past Corvus, hitting the bridge button, then leans back. She seems rather in good spirits
* Corvus tries hard not to look nervous, but fails miserably.
<Cardinal> Thank you, number 2.
<Katrina`> GM: *the bridge doors open and Kat steps out. She's obviously tipsy, but she does a good job of keeping focused*
<Katrina`> Captain.
<X1> Freakin' leprachauns!
<Cardinal> Katrina.
* Corvus follows, taking a seat somewhere
<Katrina`> GM: *the elevator doors close, then moments later open again as Shiva, wiping her hands on a rag to remove the grease, and Doctor Black, looking BLANTANTLY drunk, steps out*
<Katrina`> Black: What's this? A meeting without me? I'm insulted. *she plops down near Corvus*
<Cardinal> Well, at least it's a normal day everywhere else...
* Katrina` takes her seat in the Science Officer's chair, patting her shorts.
<Katrina`> Something wrong?
<Katrina`> Shiva: I see you're in trouble. Retirement?
<Cardinal> ...A minor thing, really...
* Sardis crosses his arms.
<X1> Cancer is not a minor thing.
<Cardinal> *growls* Shiva, do the Aquarius a favor and go get stuck in the airlock.
<Katrina`> Oh my God... you have cancer, Cardinal?
<Cardinal> No, I don't have... X1!
* Katrina` looks completely stunned.
<X1> WHAT! I didn't say 'cancer', I said 'Dancer'! Dancer! Comet, Cancer, Cupid, Vixen..
<Cardinal> ...What would we do without you...
*** BE_semi-idle is now known as BE_Food
<Katrina`> Shiva: And quit bothering you? Never.
<X1> Probably play checkers.
<Katrina`> Black: What's this minor thing, anyway? I got boo--work to do.
<Cardinal> Anyway... I say it's minor, but the Aquarius staff is about to go through some restructuring.
* Katrina` looks quiet, thinking it means she's getting removed finally. She sighs, looking down at her hands.
<X1> No thanks, already had my nose done.
* Cardinal shoves a wing in front of X1's face, hiding him from view
<X1> Paayy no attention to the mang behidn the wing!
<Cardinal> In less than an hour, your new Captain will be arriving on the Aquarius.
<Katrina`> Black: *shows Corvus pictures of Snipe, her "man"*
* Katrina` looks up, her mouth dropping
* Corvus ignores Black. "Whoa, wait, 'new captain'?"
<Katrina`> New Captain?
* Sardis stands silently, watching the carrying on.
<Katrina`> Black: Wow, you're getting removed?
<Katrina`> Shiva: ... *laughs*
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: I demand justice!
<Corvus> Why?
<Corvus> Wait, what happens to you?
<Cardinal> I wish I knew. But I'm glad I'm still in power. Shiva, you're on cleanup duty for the rest of the week.
<Katrina`> Shiva: I'll be out of it in an hour's time.
<X1> Sleeping with the captain will not help you!
<X1> I should know. *winks at Cardinal*
<Katrina`> Black: *looks between X1 and Cardinal* I thought she was married.
* Cardinal whacks X1 with her wing
<Katrina`> ...This.. isn't right. They can't do this, can they?
<X1> Ow! I'm being attacked by the left-wing!
<Corvus> Well, they CAN...
<Cardinal> I AM married! *grumbles* You'd all better hope the new Captain is as forgiving as I am. *smiles* ...And yes, they're within their rights to do this.
<Katrina`> But...I don't want a new Captain...
<Katrina`> Shiva: Maybe we can get work done around here.
<Sardis> .oO(Who'd marry her?)
<Cardinal> ...TWO weeks.
<Katrina`> Black: This kind of stuff happens all the time. It's probably because there's a new President residing over the Alliance.
<X1> Damn you and your democracy!
<Cardinal> That's what I say.
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: We should kick the Captain's ass! ... the new one.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: I find it odd that no one has heard the name of the new Alliance President myself.
* Katrina` looks to Cardinal
<Katrina`> What are you going to do now?
<Katrina`> Shiva: *ignores Cardinal, casually wiping her hands*
<Cardinal> Well... I guess it'll be up to the new Captain to decide.
<Katrina`> Black: I suggest we all get drunk.
<Corvus> This has 'disaster' written all over it.
<Katrina`> Who's replacing you?
* X1 puts down his crayon, looking innocent
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: Someone wrote on my ass.
<Cardinal> ...They didn't... say...
* Katrina` glances at Sardis, wondering what his take on this is.
*** Corvus has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
*** X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
*** X-One has joined #taw
*** X-One has quit IRC (Client closed connection)
*** X1 has joined #taw
*** Corvus has joined #taw
<Katrina`> Shiva: I think I'll go wait in the hanger for the new Captain to arrive. My condolences, Cardinal. *she leaves*
* Cardinal scratches her head
<Cardinal> ...Can somebody tell me why I haven't sent her back yet?
* Sardis looks to Kat.
<Sardis> I... don't like it.
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: *plays some dramatic music in the background*
* Katrina` nods in agreement.
<Cardinal> Thank you, everyone, for your support...
<Katrina`> Ensign 3: Well, you're going to like this even less, Captain. The new Captain ... is here early. *points at the viewscreen, where another Starship has dropped out of hyperspace, launching a shuttle toward the Aquarius. The other starship turns, then leaps into hyperspace again*
*** Corvus has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
*** X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Cardinal> ...Great...
<Katrina`> Ensign 2: I could shoot the shuttle if you want.
<Cardinal> ...No.
* Katrina` stands up, sighing. She feels sorry for the Captain, but tries not to let it show too much.
<Katrina`> I guess we should greet them.
* Cardinal stands, rubbing a hand along her uniform to smooth it out
<Cardinal> Yes, yes we should.
* Katrina` glances down at her greet shirt and shorts, sighing. She picked a fine day to be out of uniform.
* Sardis opens the elevator for them.
<Katrina`> Black: I'll...stay 'ere.
<Cardinal> Try not to break anything. *walks into the elevator*
* Katrina` steps into the elevator after Sardis, leaning against the back of it.
*** X1 has joined #taw
* Sardis steps onto the elevator after the two.
*** Corvus has joined #taw
<Katrina`> GM: *the elevator silently moves down to the hanger after everyone gets on it. After a few moments, it stops, speading it's doors open. A shuttle has already landed and standing there, talking to some man, is Shiva*
* Katrina` steps out of the elevator, glancing ahead at the man. He stands at an average 5'11" height, has dark black hair - cut in a crewcut, and is dressed in a Captain's uniform. When he glances up, one who knows their stuff would see this T. Kenneth Drake, the nephew of Admiral Drake who died in the great war*
*** TAW is now known as Captain_Drake
<Corvus> AHHH
<Corvus> NRP: ARgh, wrong one
<X1> AHHH
<X1> He's back from the dead!
<Cardinal> .oO{...It all comes together.}
* Captain_Drake walks forward with a steady pace. Being only a child in the war, he's now a grown man who has been leading starships for a while. He pauses, looking oddly at X1.
<X1> It's a zombie! Kill it!
<Captain_Drake> I am?
* Corvus slaps his face, groaning
<Cardinal> ...X1...
<X1> You ARE, you...you zombie!
* Katrina` shakes her head at X1.
* Sardis looks at X1.
* Captain_Drake crosses his arms, looking slightly amused. 1"I've been called many things, but never a zombie."
* X1 reaches his hand out to Drake. "Hi, I'm the ship's counsler. ZOMBIE."
<Cardinal> ...Sorry about his behavior.
* Captain_Drake shakes X1's hand after unwrapping his arm. 1"Drake." 6He turns to look at Cardinal. 1"Captain Yshidhan
* Cardinal offers her hand. "A pleasure to meet you, Captain Drake."
* Captain_Drake shakes Cardinal's hand, judging her grip as he does so.
<Captain_Drake> The same here. I've heard a lot about your work out here.
* Katrina` glances at the new Captain, then at Corvus and Sardis.
* Sardis glances around.
<Corvus> Corvus, chief engineer. *waves*
* Captain_Drake turns to look at Corvus, nodding.
*** Kim[AWAY] is now known as Kimera
* Captain_Drake glances to Sardis.
<Captain_Drake> You must be Sardis. And .. *turns to Katrina* Since you're the youngest here, you must be Katrina Star, the cadet.
<Katrina`> Yes sir.
* Captain_Drake turns to look back at Cardinal.
*** X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
*** Corvus has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Captain_Drake> I look forward to familiarizing myself with your crew over the next few weeks, Captain. This should be a real adventure for all of us.
<Cardinal> Indeed it shall...
<Captain_Drake> Do you mind if we speak privately for a moment? Somewhere?
<Cardinal> Not a problem. Where would you like? The conference area? The bar?
<Captain_Drake> The conference area will suffice, thank you.
<Cardinal> Follow me, then, Captain. *walks back to the elevator, opens it, and steps on, holding it open for Drake*
* Sardis glances at Kat. "I don't know if I like this, the relative of a great general or warrior tends to rely on their relative's deeds more than their own."
* Captain_Drake steps onto the elevator himself.
<Katrina`> I haven't heard of him doing much. All you ever hear about in the Academy is his Uncle.
* Cardinal takes the elevator to the floor with the conference rooms
* Sardis turns to the elevator, watching the door close.
<Sardis> Decendants of great ones... hm.
* Captain_Drake stands there in the elevator until it arrives, then he steps out into the conference room. He takes a casual seat in one of the chairs - ironically, not the head chair - and cups his hands together as he looks at Cardinal.
<Katrina`> Yeah...
* Katrina` trails off, her mind elsewhere.
* Cardinal steps in just behind Drake and sits in a chair, again, not the head chair
<Captain_Drake> I hope that there's not going to be any problems with me taking over command of the Aquarius, is there? I mean, everything is okay, right?
<Cardinal> I don't forsee any major difficulties, no...
<Captain_Drake> I've been reviewing the files on your various crewmembers. Command has begun to remove some of them that it feels is serving the team or harming it. That is why your ship has been emptier lately.
* Katrina` turns to look at Sardis.
<Katrina`> I wonder what will happen to our Captain.
<Captain_Drake> (not serving)
* Sardis looks to her. "I hope they leave her on this ship."
* Cardinal nods
<Cardinal> ...I can't help but wonder if I am one of them, considering how sudden this has been...
<Captain_Drake> You, Captain? Surely you jest. We have no intention of removing you from the Aquarius.
<Captain_Drake> We want you to stay on as the Second in Command.
<Katrina`> She's done a good job. They shouldn't remove her.
<Cardinal> ...That's a relief, at least...
* Sardis nods in agreement.
<Captain_Drake> I've been looking at your current line up for the ship and normally I hate to change things, since a crew with familiarity works better, but I think things need to be switched around, especially with the openings we have open.
<Cardinal> To be honest, I was thinking the same thing, with the vacancies springing up all over. There are a few areas in the ship that are just flat out understaffed.
* Captain_Drake nods, offering her a smile.
<Captain_Drake> I'm glad we're in agreement, then.
<Katrina`> I wonder what their meeting is about. *looks like she wants to listen in*
<Cardinal> *shrugs and smiles* Hey, I want this transition to be as smooth as possible, if it has to happen.
* Sardis looks at her a moment.
<Captain_Drake> Thank you. Now, I've already talked to Ensign Shiva. I think since she seems so keen on remaining in the hanger, we just leave her there to forsee all operations in there. That way we'll have a faster and more maintained hanger bay.
<Sardis> I'm sure we'll be told.
<Katrina`> I know...
* Katrina` slumps into a sitting position.
* Sardis heads for the elevator.
* Cardinal nods
<Katrina`> Where are you going?
* Sardis presses the button, turning to Kat as the door opens "I'm feeling impatient."
* Katrina` hops up, flashing him a smile as she steps in.
<Captain_Drake> I see no reason to change Corvus Skiers' position any. He's done an excellent job as chief of engineering.
* Sardis steps on, hitting the conference floor button.
* Cardinal nods
<Cardinal> Indeed. We'd be in a mess right now, if not for his work.
<Captain_Drake> And I--- *turns as the elevator door opens behind them* And I see we have company.
* Sardis stands against the door, out of view.
* Sardis raises a finger to shh Kat.
* Katrina` scrambles to the side, moments too late, and hides, too.
<Cardinal> That doesn't surprise me.
* Captain_Drake raises an eyebrow.
* Sardis hits the door close button repeatedly
<Captain_Drake> Unless, of course, your elevators randomly open and close?
* Captain_Drake watches the doors close again.
<Cardinal> Probably Katrina and X1.
* Sardis presses his ear to the door, listening in.
<Captain_Drake> Ah, yes. X1. We might as well leave him as counselor. I just fear the psychological damage he does to patients, but I'm sure it'll be fine.
* Katrina` does the same, standing just a few inches below Sardis.
<Captain_Drake> Also, I see no reason to change Doctor Black. I haven't heard anything bad regarding her work thus far.
<Captain_Drake> This brings me to Sardis. He's currently unassigned to any major department and since the Chief of Security is empty, I feel he'll be the best person to put in place. Being a Tsivrixsh, he'll know all too well the work that needs to be put into security. Plus having him on away missions will make things a bit easier.
* Katrina` smiles looking up at Sardis.
<Katrina`> You're chief of security!
* Cardinal nods
* Sardis makes a very human smile. "Sounds like an affirmative action placement, but it's definently something I'd enjoy."
<Cardinal> He's really quiet a lot of the time, too, the sign of a good thinker. He'll make a good strategist.
<Captain_Drake> This brings me to former Commander Thedda, your second in command. With you taking the position of second in command, she has to be placed somewhere else. I've regarded his information and noticed she was originally trained for science work.
<Captain_Drake> (this)
* Captain_Drake looks up
<Captain_Drake> I suggest making Thedda the Science Officer. Her training should work well in that department.
* Katrina` face faulters at hearing this.
<Cardinal> Had she come a little sooner, she would have been science officer anyway. But I didn't feel right calling Katrina out here for field work, then immediately turning around and sending her back.
<Sardis> But she isn't specialized in the sciences...
<Captain_Drake> Yes, Miss. Star. *leans back* Technically, she's still a cadet and we can't have her running a huge position like Science Officer. However, from what I've seen, she's done exceptional work here. Am I correct?
<Cardinal> Indeed, she has.
* Sardis makes a Tsiv expression, looking at the door as he listens.
<Captain_Drake> In my opinion, a cadet can learn more out here, in the actual field, than they can in some classroom. I'm going to leave Miss. Star here and have her be the assistant Science Officer, aiding Thedda and taking the position herself when Thedda is not available.
<Captain_Drake> That way, we're not breaking protocol and Miss. Star can benefit from being out here.
<Cardinal> I like the way you think. .oO{Why hadn't I thought about that already?}
<Captain_Drake> Well, I think that just about settles everything with the crew. As soon as things get settled down, we can begin our mission.
* Katrina` leans back against the back of the elevator
<Katrina`> At least I can still help out.
* Cardinal nods, and stands
<Cardinal> Let's get out of this stuffy room. I'll show you around the ship.
<Captain_Drake> Sounds good. *he walks over and hits the open elevator door button, the doors sliding open*
<Katrina`> Eep! *looks straight ahead as Drake steps in. He blinks*
* Sardis nods.
* Cardinal walks in, too
<Cardinal> I thought it would be you, Katrina. ...Sardis?
* Captain_Drake walks in, glancing at Sardis.
* Sardis falls over, feet up in the air.
* Captain_Drake looks at him, then up Kat.
<Sardis> Just ... ah... passing by, you caught us on the way up.
* Katrina` nods nervously at what Sardis said.
* Captain_Drake looks at Cardinal
<Captain_Drake> Esscentric crew.
<Cardinal> ...Tell me about it.
<Captain_Drake> Well, I gathered that you know about the changes. With your ... passing by.
<Sardis> Er.. Changes, sir? No, I'm, er, afraid I have no idea what you speak of.
<Captain_Drake> I see. Well, let me be the first to tell you that you are now the Janitor of the ship.
* Sardis scowls.
<Captain_Drake> That was a joke.
<Captain_Drake> Mr. Chief of Security.
<Sardis> Yes sir.
<Cardinal> We need to work on your sarcasm, Drake. *winks and smirks*
<Captain_Drake> You have a lot of work ahead of you. I'm expecting you to keep secured ship.
* Captain_Drake nods at Cardinal, nodding.
<Captain_Drake> Anyway, I think I'll get my things packed in. I'll make an announcement in a few days about our mission objective.
* Captain_Drake hits the floor button for the room.
* Captain_Drake steps off as soon as they arrive. He nods to the three, then vanishes from sight as the doors close again
*** Captain_Drake is now known as TAW
* Katrina` looks to Cardinal, playing with a strand of hair again.
<Cardinal> *sighs* You know, if you two are going to eavesdrop, try being a little more quiet about it next time, hmm?
<Katrina`> Yes, Captain.
<Cardinal> You don't have to be so serious all the time, you know. *hits the button for the bar*
* Katrina` smiles softly.
<Katrina`> Aye aye.
<Katrina`> NRP: You want to keep going or stop?
<Cardinal> NRP: I'm done.
<Sardis> NRP: Me too
<Katrina`> S.E.S.S.I.O.N E.N.D.S
