    Why take anything personal 

    most people you meet here you will never meet in person so why let it hurt you  its one persons oppion no one can be loved by all

     

     

    I know that Tokar, I just said that very thing to someone not an hour ago. It wasn't in here, it was in my real life. This is my " VIRTUAL" LIFE. JUST AS IMPORTANT TO ME THOUGH. Because behind all the words I read on this screen there is a person somewhere talking right to me, and I to him/her. Just like, no not JUST like, but kind of like reading a book. Understand?

    I feel that if I decide to leave it's because of personal insults. They hurt. They hurt anybody, not just me. But some people throw insults when they are upset at whoever is handiest.

     

    This venue of discussion, I mean the computer, allows us to retaliate, believing there is no consequence. Because we can't see the person's face when they read it.

    But there IS consequence. I know everyone I've talked to today either on the phone or in Im, PM or Chat, has been affected by all this that is going on in here right now. WE are like a big family in here. I consider many of you my friends. I share laughter and tears with many of you as well as anger and frustration. We all run the gambit of emotions in here. Some people are very firm in their beliefs others are easily swayed. Some people can't see past their own nose, others are eager to hear others opinions. Some people are fair and some aren't. So when we all have to follow the same set of rules there is going to be conflict. This conflict is hurting us all. Sadly, I don't know how we can avoid it, I wish I did.

    HUH? :eekout: I love it here. I'm not trying to cause friction. And NoBeSk, sorry, if I sounded a bit callous last night. I had been up 22 hours and running on pure adrenalin. I'm sorry. I enjoy conversing with you very much. I can see the Mods have alot to put up with and can't be everywhere all the time, I'm aware of that too. That's why there is a ' REPORT ' button on every post. If you think it's useless Spamming just report it. Yes, this is the best Trek site, no argument there. And all the Mods here are great. :laugh: That's just my opinion. Can I go now? :blink:

    After all the crew had been staited and went back to the Kongou, Jeanway, Fenriz, Nikama, and Riker sat at a table in the Wardroom. Enjoying large, steaming mugs of Jasmine tea with honey that Nikama had brought with him as a gift to the Elusive. " This is wonderful, Nikama. Tastes the way perfume smells." She commented. Nikama understood and nodded affirmatively. " Worf, would you like some?" Worf grunted and picked up a mug that she poured for him. " Mmmm, das good." He said as he slurped his first sip.

     

    Jeanway told Nikama about her plans to visit Macao, and the plan to attempt to open trade negotiations with China for America. " Such an ambitious plan, you have. With a tribute of diamonds I can forsee no problems." Nikama said. " Aye, that's good ta hear my friend." She answered. " I will assist you in anyway I can." Nikama answered. We have figured it should take us no more that 5 days to get there and you can secure repairs and replenish your stores when we arrive. No tellin how long we will be in port." She added. " Tell me, Nikama, have you visited Macoa before? I know we are travelling on an uncharted rhumb line, but I think we shall be able to navigate these water without much trouble, since we have a map."

     

    The following morning, at first light, the Elusive, the Batavia, now flying the American flag again and the Kongou Mara headed North NorthEast towards the South China Sea and the Port at Macao.

    Jeanway and Fenriz stand at the Starboard balustade and watch as the limping ship from the Orient draws nearer to the Elusive. Fenriz comments " We must help them." Jeanway answers " Aye, without a doubt." As the Kongou Maru pulls up along side, a lone Nikama is seen standing on the deck. He calls to them. " My maps have been burned, we need help in these unfamiliar waters." Nikama yells across to them. " You must come aboard and we can talk." Jeanway yells to him. Nikama nods and bows. As the Elusive and the Kongou Maru draw closer, the Elusive's crew throw lines across to the remaining crew of the Kongou, the ships are secured together and a gangplank is put into place, Nikama walks across to Jeanway and Fenriz who are standing, waiting at the gate.

     

    "Come below, you must eat first. Invite all on your ship who are hungry." Were Jeanway's first words to Nikama. " Most gracious you are, yes, that would be good." Nikama motions to the waiting crew to come. They come across one by one and they all follow Fenriz below to the galley. Jeanway and Nikama trail behind, chatting about the ordeal the Kongou has just been through. " We watched from a distance." Jeanway told him. " I was hoping you would come through it unscathed and still afloat, one outa two ain't bad." She smiled at Nikama and bowed, he did the same.

    Jeanway had thought of establishing trade with China for the United States before, so she saw this as the perfect opportunity. With the barrel of diamonds given to her by Captain nik still sitting in her quarters, and now with a Dutch ship at her disposal, already having a trade agreement established there, she just had to ask for their help also. She asked. " What exactly would be considered an appropriate tribute to pay for this? Would diamonds be acceptable?" BraceGirdle and PearlMutter looked at each other and then both back at Jeanway. " Aye, yes Admiral, diamonds would be a fine tribute for the Emporer, he would look upon that with great favor and extend you all the courtesies of which we have enjoyed for many decades." PearlMutter said. " Good, then Gentlemen, we have a deal." They all shook hands and all were very pleased at this new development.

    Leftenant BraceGirdle was the first to speak. " Admiral Jeanway" He began. " The situation with Captain ILikeSeven has left Leftenant PearlMutter and myself in quite a pickle, AHMMM, I mean, a quandry as to what to do." Jeanway nodded and said " Yes, I can see you both are upset, what exactly is the problem?" BraceGirdle continued. " We were sent on this meandering voyage by the govenment of Holland. We have a trade agreement with China and we pay tribute to the Emporer every eight years. If we do not pay it all our trading rights will be suspended and there would be not telling how long it would take us to get them back. We must be in the Port of Macao in one week to meet with the Portugese to secure our holdings there. It is imperative that were be there, can you help us?" Jeanway thought a moment then replied. " Leftenant BraceGirdle" She began.

    " Seeing that I am holding your Captain in my care and protection at this time, I think it only right and proper that I aid you in the venture." BraceGirdle and PearlMutter heaved collective sighs, a look of relief on both of their faces. But I must consult with Lieutenant Riker to see if we can make the voyage in time for your meeting with the Portugese. I will let you know as soon as we have secured our readings and set a course. But I see no problem with what you are asking. Oh, and one more thing, if I may be so bold." She asked.
