We just need to do something, that's all. @ Doc>::once they reach the end, he dips Lavia bare inches from the floor:: # I am tired of being jammed by whatever trickery they have on board this vessal @ Lavia>::throws back her head and laughs:: Oh Doctor Von Schmidt, whereever did you learn to dance like that? # ::Fred drinks her lemon twist mechanically::: # Harley > Its been the same with my companion ever since the Chamber .. # and the best way we can do exactly that is by blending in, not by standing out # I wish I knew what was causing this jamming. # Irish > We have to do something .. @ Doc>::pulls Lavia to her feet, slightly panting:: My dear captain, I've learned many things in my travels. @ Doc> Such as when to take a breather. ::nods to bar:: Shall we sit this one out? Maybe it's caused by whatever they're doing to make everyone forget? # Harley > But what can we do little brother ? I know I havent thought of anything so far .. # We have to get the Doctor alone. That's the only way we can find out if he's faking it, or is really under their control. # Irish > He is not going to listen to me .. # And the surest way to show our hand @ Lavia>::without protest allows Doc to escort her to the bar:: @ Doc> Two Pink Lemonades with a twist please. # We can do this subtly. After all, you're an agent, and I'm...Me. @ ::the pair settle in with their drinks:: # ::to Irish::: Irish, you and Harley go check out the sickbay, see if you can figure out what may have been done to the Doctor. # Then instead of stalking the poor fellow, why don't we dance? @ Lavia>::simmers over her drink:: Hmmm... Johannes you are a man of amazing talents. A specialty drink you picked up on the road? # Irish > I suppose we can do that .. # Thank you Irish, Harley. @ Doc> On Bangoria V, I believe. They have a dozen different recipes of lemonade. # ::Takes Fred in an almost embrace and whispers in her ear:: Just follow my lead and we can try to get within earshot of the Doctor <::waves:: Bye Guys.> # Harley > I know of a ventilation shaft that goes almost there .. <> *** DocEight has left #whosim # :::Fred nods in agreement::: @ Doc> Helps keep the body cool under the 3 suns and open desert. @ Lavia> Tell me more. It must be so exciting to travel to such forbidden places. @ Doc> I comprised a rather nice collection of holographic images. But I think the most impressive place I visited was a little planet on the edge of the Helical Galaxy. @ Lavia> Helical? That's near Zeta Scrampus? % Sickbay @ Doc> Thereabouts. It was a colonial world once. The miners told tale of the most amazing site buried in the rocks. # :::Fred watches irish and harley leave, then follows Bond out onto the dance floor::: @ Doc> An entire cave made of blue crystal. % ::Irish and Harley sneak into the cold and sterile sickbay:: @ ::Slows his sweeping lead to a slow steady swirl as they near the Doctor and Flavia:: @ Lavia> ::gets distant look:: Blue crystal with a near infinite number of perfect straitions that calms the mind. @ Doc> ::murmurs over drink:: You heard of it? # ::whispers to Bond as they dance::: @ Lavia> ::struggles to remember and draws a blank:: I must have... must have... @ Doc> ::studies her under a sip:: The old pirate's in that sector are always telling tales. No doubt they would spread far and wide. @ You follow my lead beatifully me dear ::leans in:::Although I believe it's not at all your nature ::Smiles charmingly:: @ Doc> At least that's what attracted me. Poppycock and legends, though I admit it was fun to explore though there were a pesky amount of spiders under toe. @ Why thank you, kind sir. @ Lavia> Yes the little buggers kept crawling into my boots. @ :::whispers::: help me keep an eye on them. @ Doc> ::perks up:: You've been to Metebelis? @ When you see the opportunity, distract the bimbo and I'll talk to the Doctor. @ Lavia> Um... :;again the blank wall draws her short:: I remember planning a trip once. I desperately wanted to go before... @ Doc> ::sets down his drink, talking in a calm casual voice:: Before what? @ ::Softly:: I may appear nonchalant, but I am well aware of the exact position of the Doctor, the Captain and the Security guars @ Lavia> ::struggles beyond the blank wall, but it seems to push back hard and fast:: @ Lavia> Before I came to the Montecarlo of course. ::beams smile:: Now we travel the whole Universe. @ You really are new at this aren't you. Mustn't tip off the opposition this soon % Irish > I dont like this place at all .. Whoever cleans it is obviously mentally unbalanced .. @ Lavia> ::giggles over herself and takes a long gulp:: I can't believe I ever wanted to go anywhere else. I mean what else would one need or want here. @ It's a balance, between acting too soon and too late. And it feels like it's getting late. @ ::Sees it's useless to argue:: Oh very well, I swear your the most headstrong woman I've met since Miss Moneypence quit the agency % Harley > I know .. Did you see that all of the cleaning material is labeled and hung on racks @ Doc> ::tips glass to hers:: Agreed. A carefree existing spinning around space with all your whims cared for. You have an idyllic life here Captain Lavia. @ :::Fred smiles sweetly::: Thank you. @ ::Steps over to the Doctor and Flavia :: Sorry Professor , but may I steal the Captain for just one dance ::Flashes his best smile:: % Harley > I see a white light under that door marked Patients room .. @ Lavia> ::beams:: Oh well, duty calls. @ My feet could use a brief rest. @ :::sits down next to the Doctor and sighs::: @ Doc> ::with a flourish of his hand:: By all means. % Irish > ::Irish paws at the door :: Secuirty locked .. @ Doc> ::watches Lavia and her gent spin off, then returns to calmly sipping his drink:: % Harley > We need to enter the emergency access code on the number keypad .. @ :::Looks at the Captain asif she were the most desireable being in the universe:: You Honor me Captain @ :::Fred quickly orders a drink of her own::: % Irish > Really ? Do yo know what it is ? @ ::bartender gives the lady an iced tea and goes off to tend his other patrons:: % Harley > Tap 9 1 1 and see what that does .. @ Doc> ::smiles benignly and passes a napkin to Fred:: @ :::accepts the napkin and smiles:: % Irish > Alright .. ::jumps up and punches the keypad sending the door sliding open :: @ :::The music shifts and a congo line begins, Bond expertly manuvers the captain behind hin=m as he takes the waist of a whispy blonde, all the easier to lead the Captain AND the tourist while seemingly to just follow the line:: @ :::she offers her hand to the Doctor::: % ::The two enter the room :: @ I'm Winnifred O'Connell. @ Doc> Doctor Von Schmidt. Enjoying your cruise Ms. O'Connell? % ::Irish sees the Doctor laying on a table with a scanner over top of him which causing him to glow blue :: % Irish > Maker ! ::Irish races over :: % Harley > Hold on little brother .. I sense something is wrong .. @ Oh yes, very much so. It reminds me of places I've read about and want to visit. @ Doc> Travel broadens the mind, but does tire the feet. % ::Irish pauses but his concern for Maker is too great :: % ::A canvas knapsack encloses Harley as soon as Irish leaves her side :: *** PierceBond is now known as CheifBlitz *** CheifBlitz is now known as ChiefBlitz @ Indeed it does. % NC > Dirty filthy beasts tracking your diseases and infestitations into my STERILE Areas .. I will have to sanitize this whole section again .. ! @ ::::Fred mentions some places that she hopes will jog his memory, but nothing works::: % ::irish growls and focuses his energy swelling in size :: Let My Sister Go Or else I will have to claw you to little pieces ! @ You know, you look familiar. Haven't I met you somewhere before? @ Doc>Hmmm... a Gold Chalice of Immortality? Didn't AC Doyle right about something like that? @ Perhaps it was that resort...Alfheim? @ :::she leans in close, looking intently into his eyes:: @ I visited it once with my friend Jacie. % NC > Shut up ! Everyone knows beasts cant talk .. Even your presense leads to bad mental health Filthy beasts .. :: She whips out what look to be a a tiny flashlight and aims it at Irish just as he springs :: @ Doc> Alfheim? ::shakes head:: I don't believe I know that place. % :: waves of ultrasonic energy rush out enshrouding Irish and Harley :: @ Too bad, it was very exotic. I heard it blew up though, so you wouldn't be able to visit it now, unless you had a Time Machine. % :: Irish struggles to stay conscious but falls to the ground slipping back to normal cat size :: @ :::Notices the Professor beginning to look upset with the young lady talking to him, and slides through the crowd to where they are:: % ::Harley claws at the knapsack being shielded from the waves of sound @ Dr. Von Schmidt! Are you all righr? You seemed a bit flushed. @ AaaaaAAAAhhhhh.....choooo!!! % :: Irish awakens to the sound of his sister's urgent calling. He opens his eyes and sees her stuck in a metal cage on the counter. :: @ Please forgive me, I have a terrible allergy of cat hair % Harley > Little brother you need to get away while you can .. @ Doc> ::turns a bright smile on Blitz but is interrupted by a violent sneezing fit:: % ::Irish tries to move but is immobilized :: @ Doc> Oh excuse me. ::reaches for a napkin:: Now that you mention it... I do too. @ Doc> Filthy things felines. Can you believe Ancient peoples revered them? % ::Nurse Chapel comes back into the room wearing a sterile rubber outfit which even covers her face :: @ Doc> The Phaorohs of Egypt actually invited them to dinner-- ::turns repulsed look on Fred:: @ Doc> Oh it's you! @ The ancients revered lots of things. Even old age. They didn't realize, of course, that some people, when they get old, just become senile. *** ChiefBlitz is now known as PierceBond % NC > Now Now Little itty bitty kitty Dont you worry .. :: hands her some little pieces of cheeze ::: Your turn is next .. @ Ah yes, I remember you know. You were the rude person at the Captain's table. Silly me, I thought you were someone important. ::Quickly follows the Captain to the disturbance:: @ Doc> I knew I recognized you. ::covers mouth with napkin:: You were at the nuisance table at dinner with the flee-ridden cats. @ I say, is there some problem? @ No problem that a good case of manners wouldn't solve. @ Doc> ::talks into napkin:: A-CHOO! % NC > How is the dirty feline doing ? Are you ready for your check up ? *** PierceBond is now known as ChiefBlitz @ Doc> Or a flea dip. @ :::looks up at Bond and smiles sweetly::: This young lady is causing trouble, or rather the hair she's wearing is @ ::Lavia and Roxana follow the ruckus to the bar:: @ Isn't that one of those old-timey dance steps? The ones that people look silly doing? @ Lavia> What hair? @ Take me away from here, won't you? ::holds her hand out to Bond:: @ Doc> Oh no matter. Just cat dander. @ Doc> Tends to get in the nostrils. Well that's easily solved. I'd be quite glad to take the lady for a walk on another deck? % ::Irish senses the emotional distress as the weird rubber lady adjusts the the headband on his head :: @ Lavia> Blitz, I thought I decreed all cats be banned from the ship? @ :::Blitz::: Sorry, Daddy-O, you're not my time. % NC > Just relax and this will all be over soon .. @ Please do.

In my office... ::pulls Blitz away to the dance floor:: % ::Irish is shocked to see Maker's form begin to flicker like a badly tuned holo vid :: & = Bond and Fred @ Doc> ::heaves a heavy sneeze into his near-shredded napkin:: << Pause Irish Harley and Nurse Chapel >> @ Yes Captain & :::whispers to Bond::: Well, either the Doctor deserves an Oscar, or he really HAS lost his mind. @ Roxana> Oh you poor man. ::hands him another napkin:: *** ChiefBlitz is now known as PierceBond @ Doc> Thank you. I guess that dander hangs in the air here a bit too much for my health. @ Roxana> That's easily fixed. Come on. ::wraps arm around his:: The air is much crisper in the Sky Lounge. ! = Sky Lounge ! ::Doc and Roxana leave the deck party and enter the less crowded Sky Lounge:: & So, what do you think we should do next? ! ::Doc inhales deeply and gazes at the stars:: Ah, much better. & Perhaps lost, perhaps stolen ! Roxana> ::inhales herself:: Yes, I come here often myself just to get away from the crowd. & Understood. ! Doc> ::notes the stars:: I am constantly amazed by the realism of this ship. One couldn't tell those are projected holograms at all. & Why not try to find what is causing all this? That slippery fellow looks like a good place to start ! Roxana> Oh those stars are quite real. This is the forward observation deck. ! Doc> Really? I see why you like this place. So good to know where your headed time to time. & I've seen that bald fellow doing repair work on the Montecarlo, now watch... See how interested he is in the disturbance you started & Him? That's Drax, or Frax as he's calling himself these days. That's a good idea. ! Roxana> Yes, but it can be fun to not know where you're going. & And this time could we please try a little discretion? ! Doc> Indeed. ::takes a seat on a marble bench:: So Roxana how long have you been serving aboard the Montecarlo? & Please, I'm the soul of discretion. & :::grins::: ! Roxana> Seems like a lifetime ago. & ::Smiles broadly:: Of course you are ::Starts to shadow Drax:: ! Doc> I'm looking forward to serving a lifetime or two myself here. It's so pleasant to have a long leisurely journey through time and space for a change. ! Roxana> ::startles:: Time? ! Doc> ::points upward:: Oh look, it's Cassiopeia... the "singing sisters"" ! Doc> I believe I visited a planet once in that sector-- ! Roxana> Metebelis, home of the blue crystal cave. ! Doc> Yes. How long since you saw it Roxana? ! Roxana> Um, what? ! Doc> Metebelis. You remember wanting to go there? ! Roxana> Yes. ! Doc> Why? *** PierceBond is now known as Frax ! Roxana> There's a perfect crystal there with the ability to drive men mad or clarify the mind. % = Interior of the Flying Montecarlo ! Roxana> A friend once told me-- ::squeezes herself and looks around sharply:: <> *** DWFred has quit IRC (Exit: Leaving) % ::Frax heads past the passenger halls into shiny steel service corridors and takes a crew's lift to the very center of the Montecarlo, carefully followed by Fred and Bond:: % ::Pausing at a fire evacuation plan, Frax lifts it's frame and punches a security code into a hidden lock:: ! Doc>::studies Roxana a second then scoffs:: Of course you'd hear about the curse. Silly old pirate tales. ! Doc> These days I think I enjoy the clarity of a long restful journey. ! Doc> Don't you? ! Roxana> ::relaxes a bit:: Yes, the Montecarlo is all I need now. ! :: the steel drum band kicks up another lively tune:: % :::Frax enters a secret panel that opens and Bond glides forward slipping his cigarrette case into the closing security lock, jamming it open::: ! Roxana> I think we're missing the party. ! Doc> ::inhales sneeze-free:: I seem to be all recovered. Shall we? ::extends an arm:: % ::Fred and Bond carefully sneak thru the secret panel and follow Frax as he winds thru a mazelike passage, They freeze when they see it open into what appears to be the largest computer either one had ever seen:: ! Roxana> ::takes arm and leaves for the deck party dance floor:: % Both walls and ceiling appear to be made of rapidly blinking lights::: % ::Frax passes his palm over a raised platform and a huge control panel extends:: % ::A monitor shows a flickeri image of the Doctor inside a slighting shimmering blue field:: % ::::Frax opens his toolkit and extracts a jury rigged cylindrical scanner:: Okay Bessie... tell me where it hurts and I'll make it all better <<> <:-)> > <> Yay Bravo!
