21:01CaptMcCloud:Captain's Log, Supplemental
The away team aboard the Falcon, led by Commander Jorel, has touched down on one of the twin planets in an effort to make contact with what we have peeeeerceived to be crew fromthe Quintox on the planet
21:02EnsSadakoHidewara:((Sticky keys, Cap?))
21:03CaptMcCloud:While Commander jorel has been successful in contacting one of the crew, his signal has suddenly disappeared.
21:03CaptMcCloud:(Indeed)
21:04CaptMcCloud:The Eagle has maintaned its position inside a virtual junk yard of what we can ony perceive as this system's former fleet.

21:38Cmdr_Jorel:@ xo >[ tac ] acknowledged. [sci] Where are they spread out?
21:40Lt_Banning:@ SCI >[ XO ] Two are at the mine opening. ONe by Ensign Wilson. Another headed that way. Three by the largeest group of people just exiting the mine, and a couple more spread around the perimeter.

21:45Bot:SCI2 >[ CO ] Sir! The mother-ship has moved toward the planet, and I have detected a transporter beam on the surface.
21:46CaptMcCloud:CO >[ SCI2 ] They detected the beam?
21:46Bot:SCI2 >[ CO ] I would surmise as much, Sir.
21:47Bot:@ Bug-Alien >[ CNS ] ~~Read me, human. You tell me.~~ :: the "bug" exudes much confidence::

21:53Bot:@ :: a klaxon can be heard from deeper inside the caves, and shuffling of feet can be hared in the distance. Hidewara can sense the relief of many of the mineworkers::
21:54Cmdr_Jorel:@ xo >[ ceng ] :: peeks around the corner, the motions for Hart to take a peek:: What do you think? Can we fire on the bug without injuring the Counselor

21:58Moonshadows:{CO}Perhaps, Captain, Armand would like a cup of catnip tea?
21:59Bot:Santa> :: stops after hearing Jorel's statement. He looks around to everyone in the room::
Yes. Christmas is a Terran, and more specifically a Christian holiday. However... Over the years, the Holiday itself has become a lot more to some whom celebrate it than the birth of the Christ child.
22:01Moonshadows:((NOT going to start the argument Christmas is Yule and Solstice adapted by the Church))
22:01Bot:Santa> To many, it has become a season of Giving. Giving of yourself to each other and to show what that person means in your life.
Captain McCloud has asked me to intervene and show you all what you mean to him.
