  1. I was wondering about StarTrek names. Why don't we ever see a Captain Bob? Admiral Pete? Ambassador Wally? Petunia, Hero of the Klingon Empire? Well I will admit those Klingon have some catchy names. Klang? Anyone? I can't be the only one who hears Kern and wants to put a 'el' on the end of it. :)


  2. Chakotay turned around in time to see several of the birds spiralling down towards the carcass and the meat.

    "Oh no you don't."

     

    Chakotay dropped the pelt and sprinted back towards the cabin. He could see a couple of the scavengers land and begin pecking at the freshly cut meat. Chakotay reached for his phaser at his waist. His hand grabbed at empty air. He had left his phaser on the table inside the cabin. Chakotay picked up a thick piece of kindling as he ran past the woodpile outside the cabin. Swinging his club above his head he ran at the birds, yelling as loud as he could.

     

    Janeway stood and watched, not wanting an incident. After Chakotay had run them off Janeway said. "Why don't I stay here with the meat, you come back when you have the pelt in the stream and for Heaven's sakes put some rocks on top of it so it doesn't float downstream on us."

    Several minutes later Chakotay returned.

    "We'd better get this all into the cellar." He said. "Then I can go wash the pelt."


  3. Janeway and Chakotay went back outside. She watched him as he skillfully cut and tore at the animal, slicing off the skin in one piece.

    "We can use this Catherine, for in front of the fire on the floor." He said.

    "It needs a good wash Chakotay, it stinks." She said.

    "I'll start working on it after I finish here." He replied. "All of this meat will keep well in the cellar. We don't have much down there now so there's plenty of room."

    Chakotay cut off huge slabs of muscle. Then sliced it and laid it in a pile next to him in the snow.

     

    "Catherine, why don't you drag one of the lockers outside here. We can wash it outside. I don't want to bring it in until it's clean." He asked her. When the large pieces were cut Chakotay went to work cutting off the smaller pieces. Janeway dragged the locker that had doubled as a tub the night before.

     

    As Chakotay carved and cut, Janeway began filling the locker from the stream. The flowing water wasn't frozen.

    "Soap, Catherine, lots of soap." He told her.

    "Alright, give me a chance here to get this thing filled. I'll get the soap." She told him angrily. The monkeys still inside began making a ruckus and Janeway stopped and went back inside.

    "Everything alright in there?" Chakotay hollered.

    "Yes, they just wanted us to come back in. A little separation anxiety I think." She yelled. They both laughed. Chakotay finished filling the tub and submerged the pelt so it could soak for a few minutes.


  4. Ok he's got 3 'Moon' songs that I could find :)

     

    Moonshadow

     

    Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

    Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

     

    And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,

    Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if.... I won't have to work no more.

    And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,

    Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if.... I won't have to cry no more.

     

    And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,

    Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if.... I won't have to walk no more.

    And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,

    Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if.... I won't have to talk...

     

    Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.

    Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?

     

    Moonstone

     

    Well, first I have to tell you that I'm not insane

    and that once I was a famous archaeologist {named}

    {who ran} a recent expedition in a distant land

    I just happened to passin' my hand in the sand

     

    and then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked

     

    I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone

    then the mist started, started to clear

    I saw a face, a face in the moonstone

    then it started to disappear

     

    well, I walked and walked and never talked

    for many days

    and without a friend the desert is a lonely place

    I was just about to turn around and make way home

    when something told me that i had to see it again

     

    Avuray....etc.

     

    The Boy With The Moon And Star On His Head

     

    A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was to wed

    It is you who I wish to share my body with she said

    We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed

    And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head.

    Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun

    Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had diamonds on.

    We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood

    And we walked 'till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.

    And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love...

    With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.

    The time was late my wedding wouldn't wait I was sad but I had to go,

    So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.

    The wedding took place and people came from many miles around

    There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound

    But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met

    'Cause she had given me something that my hear could not forget.

    A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before...

    As if was a year before...

    Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.

    And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed,

    I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head.

    As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe

    They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.

    And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread

    I'll tell you everything I've learned, and Love is all...he said.


  5. A clattering and scratching sound begins to come from the outside on the roof of the cabin. A scrambling of something they couldn't figure out.

    "Wait." Janeway said. 'Maybe it'll stop."

    They held each other for a moment and listened quietly, Janeway's feet still off the floor. When finally she was back down, they both walked outside to see what was making the noise on the roof.

     

    It was these large birds Janeway had seen and heard earlier in the evening, trying to land on the cabin but more like bouncing, they couldn't seem to stay down. They stood and watched until finally the birds flew off into the night.

    "We have to find out what's happening on this planet Catherine." Chakotay said.

    She looked at Chakotay with a worried look on her face.

    "How exactly do we do that?" She asked him. "We only have our tri-corders. If Voyager was back by now we'd be off this God-Forsaken planet. What is holding them up? I want to get out of here." She said as she began to cry, something she never does.

     

    Chakotay put his arms around her.

    "They'll be here Catherine. I don't know what's taking them so long but I know Tuvok. They'll be here." He said.

    While they were outside it had started snowing again, the snowflakes were drifting slowly down to the ground, just like they were supposed to.

    "Let's go back inside, where it's warm." Chakotay said.


  6. Chakotay went into his room. A few moments later he dragged out his locker. Emptied of everything and flat on the floor it could double as a tub. Janeway had already put a few pots of water on the fire. Janeway went over to Sam and gently inspected his arm. "We're going to have to do something about this after you get cleaned up." She said. While Chakotay emptied the heated water into the tub, Janeway fed Sam some of the cooked meat the rest of them had been eating earlier. Chakotay put some more water on to heat.

     

    "His injury certainly hasn't hurt his appetite." Chakotay observed. "That's good. I'm glad I found you, little guy. I just wish I knew what got a hold of you."

    "You didn't find any clues?" Janeway asked him.

    "Nothing. Just what I could see on the animal. Whatever it is it's pretty nasty." Chakotay said. "I wonder why we haven't seen it before?" he added. Sam held a piece of meat in his good hand.

     

    Janeway thought for a moment and said. "Since the season has changed perhaps it's a migratory animal or maybe a bird. Did you see any tracks around the carcass?"

    "No. But the snow covered everything." Chakotay answered. "A migratory animal or bird would be possible. If only the Universal Translation worked on Sam." Chakotay emptied the rest of the water into the tub.

     

    Noticing the fire was getting low Janeway walked outside to get more wood. When as if Divine Providence had heard her question she heard a faint cawing coming from above. She looked up and saw six massive pairs of wings circling the cabin. Their outlines showed up clearly as they flew in front of the moons in the night sky.


  7. It took some work to get the animal loaded onto the sled. When it was done Chakotay had to take a few moments to catch his breath. Leaning against a tree Chakotay took a few gulps from his water pouch that he had inside his backpack. Swallowing the cold liquid Chakotay looked around the area again. His second inspection revealed no more than the first had. Turning back to the sled Chakotay stopped when he heard a faint sound. A painful whimpering sound.

     

    Following the sound a few feet into the underbrush Chakotay found that it was coming from inside a hollowed out tree that had probably fallen some years earlier. "Maybe I've found our dinner guest." He thought to himself.

    Setting his phaser on maximum stun Chakotay leaned down and looked inside.

     

    "SAM!" Chakotay cried in surprise. Cowering inside, the primate was cradling his arm. Bleeding badly, it looked broken. Sam needed help now. Chakotay reached in and pulled the monkey out of his hiding place. Sam howled in protest and tried to resist. Once in Chakotay's arms he clung to him with his good arm. Sam was shivering from fear and the cold. Chakotay secured his arm with a makeshift splint and then wrapped him in his coat. Using his pack to carry Sam he slung it over his back. With Sam hanging from his back and pulling the sled Chakotay made his way back to the cabin. It was very late when he returned but Janeway was waiting for him.


  8. Snow began to fall when Chakotay had gone a short distance into the forest, shrugging it off Chakotay decided to press on. As he trekked through the forest Chakotay saw no trace of the primate. He wondered where Sam had gotten. It took some time for Chakotay to reach the site of the kill and it was after dark when he finally arrived at his destination. Immediately he knew that something had been feeding on the beast while he had been gone.

     

    Inspecting the animal, Chakotay could see that whatever it was that had been here possessed powerful jaws. The flesh had been pulled from the bones, leaving some of them cracked and broken, and he could see evidence where something had held onto the body with claws or perhaps talons. Chakotay had seen little evidence of predators on this planet but maybe it had been drawn by the scent of blood. "Could be a scavenger." Chakotay mumbled to himself. The fresh snow obscured any tracks that might have been left behind. Despite what had been eaten and what Chakotay himself had taken back to the cabin earlier that which remained of the animal would feed them for a long time. With nothing else he could do Chakotay went to work loading the animal on his sled. He made sure his phaser was at the ready, just in case.


  9. While Chakotay held Rommy and Remmy at bay Sam managed to pull one his shoes off. He climbed up a bookcase and leapt from the top of it to the rafters. "Hey give that back." Chakotay laughed.

     

    "What's going on in here?" Janeway said playfully, standing with her hands on her hips. When Rommy and Remmy spotted Janeway they went for HER shoes. Chakotay sat up and laughed. They managed to get them off her and they escaped into the nest with their Mama and the two babies. They wanted to give the shoes to the babies. The babies lay there, each with a shoe on their little bodies. Chakotay could see that Delilah wasn't strong enough yet to deal with two adolescent monkeys so he picked Rommy and Remmy up.

    "Can I have my shoes back now Please?" Janeway said to Chakotay.


  10. The weeks past slowly and the topic wasn't brought up again. Their daily routines and rituals took up all their time. When one day Janeway noticed the vibrations in the ground were starting again. There hadn't been any for months. All the strange occurences seemed to have stopped. When once again, at their cabin door, who showed up but Sam. This time with his mate and the two girls. Only now his mate appeared to have something very much in common with Janeway. She too was pregnant.

     

    Obviously the winters here on the planet are very difficult for the primates. And with Sam's mate being heavily pregnant she appeared to be having trouble walking and she was moaning quite a bit too.

    "Chakotay?" Janeway said.

    "Look, look at her. She is looking for a place to lay down. I think she is going to have her baby, right here, right now."

    "We have to let them stay." Chakotay agreed.

    Janeway quickly went to her bedroom and brought out a thick blanket and laid it down near the fireplace where it was warm.


  11. "Of course I want you in the child, our child's life. You are the father." She said. Chakotay was hopeful but he could sense that there was something else she wanted to say.

    "But?" He added. Janeway searched his face, hoping she could find the right words.

    "Chakotay. You're my dearest friend. Maybe if we were going to spend the rest of our lives on this planet then you and I, we would have a life together. But we're going back to Voyager." She said.

     

    "OH to H*ll with Voyager." He shouted. "If I could spend the rest of my life here with you and our child I would be the happiest man in the universe. But I know that's not going to happen so we have to talk about the future Catherine. You've left me out of this thing so far, I want to know what is going to happen between us!!" He demanded.

     

    "You know I can't tell you that , Chakotay. I don't know! I wish I did but I don't!. Now leave me alone for a while, I need to get some sleep. I worked hard all day out there in the cold and tomorrow will be just as busy and just as cold, and I don't need this sort if inquisition from you right now. Now get out of my room and leave me alone!" Janeway yelled.

     

    "Alright Catherine, I'll leave you alone but I want you to understand we are NOT through with this discussion!" Chakotay stormed out of her room and slammed the door shut behind him. After a few moments he wanted to go back and apologize but he decided it would be best to let it alone for the night. He sat in front of the fire thinking for a while before he went to his room and tried his best to sleep.

  13. I used to use Yahoo a lot when I first started using the internet then I discovered Google and I used it most of the time. Recently Google isn't as useful as it used to be. I've actually been able to find more of what I look for using Yahoo than Google. The one thing you can say about search engines, someone always comes along with a better one eventually. :lol:


  14. Moon Over Miami by Sawyer Brown

     

    You're lookin' lonely

    And only the lonely would know

    You're thinking far from here

    Would be an ideal place you could go

    But the stars on the water dancin' from the sky

    Makin' the way for that big one out tonight

     

    There's still a moon over Miami

    And I know this is love hangin' in the air

    This could be the night

    The night of all nights

    If we just take our time

    Oh I know we'll find

    There's still a moon over Miami

     

    Key Largo is just way too far to go

    These old trade winds are blowin' warm and slow

    There's no mistakin' what's goin' around tonight

    The evidence is shinin' in your eyes

     

    There's still a moon over Miami

    And I know this is love hangin' in the air

    This could be the night

    The night of all nights

    If we just take our time

    Oh I know we'll find

    There's still a moon over Miami

     

    There's still a moon over Miami

    And I know this is love hangin' in the air

    This could be the night

    The night of all nights

    If we just take our time

    Oh I know we'll find

    There's still a moon over Miami

     

     

    but I found this one too...

     

    Moon Over Miami by Eddie Duchin

     

    Moon over Miami

    Shine on my love and me

    So we can stroll beside the roll

    Of the rolling sea

     

    Moon over Miami

    Shine on as we begin

    A dream or two that may come true

    When the tide comes in

     

    Hark to the song of the smiling troubadours

    Hark to the throbbing guitars

    Hear how the waves offer thunderous applause

    After each song to the stars

     

    Moon over Miami

    You know we're waiting for

    A little love, a little kiss

    On Miami shore

     

    :lol:


  15. Fenriz here, reporting from the Bowels of H*ll, or Louisville as some people prefer to call it. B)

     

    A really unremarkable day weather-wise. Kind of cool. 71 as of 11:12 am. Really nice shade of grey right now. Maybe it will rain. Maybe it won't. Who knows.

     

    I wonder if you can gamble on the weather. :bow: I'm giving 2 to 3 odds it's going to rain. Who wants a piece of this action. :lol: Take a chance, roll the bones, come on low pressure system. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes. :lol:

     

    Back to you Jeanway :bow:


  16. Having made a complete inventory of what Voyager needed Neelix and Tom Paris beamed over to the station. On a PADD he carried Neelix had organized the list by must have, could use, and would be nice. Tom came with him to make sure Neelix's enthusiasm for a good deal didn't end up with him returning with a cargo hold's worth of Kazon whiskey. Tom was also eager to stretch his legs.

     

    "I think we should try to find someone who's willing to part with some plasma injectors first." Neelix said as he glanced at his PADD. They had beamed into a small transporter room. There was a bored looking attendant in the room who nodded in their direction as a way of greeting.

    "Could you tell me where I might find someone who sells starship parts?" Neelix asked him. Another nod was all they received as a reply. Exiting the room they stood in a long wide corridor that was teeming with people. Merchants in booths of various kinds lined both sides of the corridor. Occasionally there was a break in between them that led to another corridor or to the doorway of a bar or shop. Tom whistled while Neelix smiled. On Voyager he may be just a morale officer but here he felt like he was finally in his element.

     

    "How in the world are we going to find our way in this mess?" Tom said. The pair of them were trying to make their way down the corridor while being jostled by the throng. A cacophony of voices filled the air. Neelix spotted what appeared to be an information kiosk and they pushed their way through to it. Neelix touched a panel and the kiosk's screen lit up.

    "Yes. I'd like a map of this station please." He asked.

    In response the panel chirped and displayed a map on the screen. Neelix downloaded it to his PADD. Armed with directions they went off in search of the plasma injectors.
