you kinda scare me and I wanna let you

(Roleplay entry. We're back on the little desert moon of Haven!)

You ever have one of those conversations where you know it's going to go downhill from the second word?

[21:26] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): hi
[21:26] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): so i activated the singularity portal
[21:26] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): because

Oh, I'm not sure I want to know...

[21:26] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): well
[21:26] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): you'll see
[21:26] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Oh dear
[21:27] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): we shipped the wrong crate from Tannhauser
[21:27] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): I can see that

Oh, this is the LAST thing we need, the UAP breathing down our necks because we brought new alien life to the little moon without a permit--

[21:27] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): so we need to get this out of here
[21:28] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): or shouuld we box it up
[21:28] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): and not say anything
[21:28] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): We do, yes. How?
[21:28] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): drop it off in one of the mines and run....
[21:28] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Hiro!
[21:29] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): We don't even know what this lifeform would DO if it escaped containment!

We really don't! We just barely got it in containment the first time, and lab staff is STILL trying to figure out if it was a result of the attempts to reach Carcosa, or pulling Tannhauser out of time to its current location.

[21:29] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): well i think it would be a lot like Innsmouth
[21:29] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Yeah....
[21:30] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): no one comes out here much right?
[21:30] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): : )
[21:30] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Apart from Crissi? And the Romulan??
[21:30] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): And the MINERS??

You know, Duke, the miners. Like me!

[21:31] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): oh the romulan
[21:31] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): forgot abouut him
[21:31] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): I thought we liked him.
[21:31] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): we do...
[21:32] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): more than chrissy
[21:32] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): wait
[21:32] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr) nods
[21:32] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): i know

And the LAST thing we need is more trouble with Crissi...

[21:32] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr) peers at one of the readouts
[21:32] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): ok
[21:33] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): it is buried under her ship
[21:33] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): What is?
[21:33] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): the thing
[21:33] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): points
[21:34] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): That's...that could still get you in trouble
[21:34] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): yeah
[21:34] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): i should get it back on the ship
[21:35] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Probably best
[21:36] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): let me shut down the containment
[21:36] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Is that wise?
[21:37] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): smiles

It always worries me when he smiles like that.

[21:37] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): ok...
[21:37] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): need to leave a note to Justine and Deebs to not open this crate...

Oh, because THAT'S going to work...

[21:37] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr) nods.
[21:37] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Yes.
[21:37] Hiro Shatner-Orr (hiro.shatner): smiles

You fill me with dread, sir. What will you do NEXT??
