[Why yes, Scott had a very clean New Year's. He prayed and then he went to bed. If you have your video on, you might see Scott in a small kitchen inside his little pristine barracks inside Lente. Yes I just now picked that RZ for his HQ. lol. He's busy mixing what appear to be avian eggs, although they have a lot of rainbow speckles on them, and he

What exactly is in that 'pick-me-up'? [From over here it looked more like a 'please-put-me-out-of-my-misery']

Audio

[cloverdaleboy]

It's supposed to be something like liquorice that the ship's AI spliced, something it called benzoy. And also some cinnamon and anise--er, ever heard of those?

[With the places and times people in Sacrosanct were from, he couldn't be sure. He won't mention the ethanol-based compound Hypatia created that he's dripping on the omelette]

Pretty good at knocking it out of the system.

Audio

[whatvr_it_takes]

Yes, those sound familiar. [Yup, they still had those things even in the 26th century.]

Do you find you need it alot? [Carolina's pretty good with her liquor normall and pretty smart about her water intake, but she's seen more then a few devastating hangovers among her team over time.]

Audio

[cloverdaleboy]

Hehe...I admit, we don't need it as often as I'd like, but it helps either way. It's also a pretty good protein hit!

[Mystery Sacrosanct omelette is ready and he'll just make another one.]

Audio

[whatvr_it_takes]

You know what, send me the recipe when you get a chance. [Someone used to outputting the kind of energy she did during a mission could always use a good high-protein meal.]

Audio

[cloverdaleboy]

You bet. I hope it works out for you. No better pick-me-up, or so the Colonel would say. Hehe.

[Ping! Your interface may or may not receive the recipe in a few seconds' time. It's pretty crude, though, no tablespoons or cups, millilitres or grams, just "a little this" and "a pinch of that".]

Audio

[whatvr_it_takes]

Appreciate. [She's pretty good at improvising, she's sure she can figure it out.]

'The Colonel'? You in the military?

Audio

[cloverdaleboy]

Huh? Oh, yes, I am. Air Force. I'm a first lieutenant. [Yes, yes, tell her your life story.] This recipe is my commanding officer's recipe, so--[chuckles]--I'm not even being original here.

Audio

[whatvr_it_takes]

[He instantly has her full attention.]

You fly?

Audio

[cloverdaleboy]

Yeah, absolutely, I'm a pilot. [BRAGGING RIGHTS] I've flown F-15s, F-22s, T-38s, U-2Ss, classified retrofitted alien crafts, you name it...Are you into aircraft? [lol if he knew who he was talking to..]

Audio

[whatvr_it_takes]

What century are those from? [They sounded vaguely familiar.]

A bit. I've got some co-piloting experience from my own program. [Her turn for bragging rights; there's a little smirk in her voice.]

Audio

[cloverdaleboy]

[Score, someone from Earth.] 21st, mostly. Save the retrofitted one...

Wow, that's pretty excellent. Have I ever seen you in Sacrosanct? Your voice isn't familiar. [If I were you, I wouldn't turn on the video.] I'd love to meet you and talk about this more. Maybe we can make our own crafts with the garbage that shows up in the junkyard...

[Well more or less.] 26th, here.

[Oh, she's not stupid. Definitely keeping to audio. At least she doesn't sound cutesy.] I'm the space marine in light blue high-tech body armor. I would like to meet and compare notes, but it's going to have to wait. I'm a little ... indisposted, at the moment, thanks to the teleporters.

Audio

[cloverdaleboy]

[Gives a whistle of amazement.] 26th, huh? This is almost like time travelling right here...

[Hehe, very smart. Scott's just going to picture her, then. His face is just "Another Spartan? The rift must like them!"] ...Teleporters? I didn't even know this tin can had any. You had some kind of malfunction in them? Sounds pretty rough...

[he chuckles, reminded of old sci-fi shows] You didn't get your arm sticking out of your head, did you?

Audio

[whatvr_it_takes]

It is, isn't it? [Like going back in time for her, talking to him.]

[And oh, if she only knew he thought she was a Spartan!]

Of course there are teleporters here, only way to get from one zone to the next. [Or the other side of the station in a pinch.] How long have you been here?

[Okay, she can't help but chuckle at that mental image.] Fortunately, no. [On the other hand, she did have a horn ...] Well, not exactly.

Audio

[cloverdaleboy]

[OOC: .... I knew that. /facepalm. I'll just assume Scott didn't say that. Or maybe he didn't go very far when he got here.]

"Not exactly"? Hehe, well all right, I won't pry. But if there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask. [Which isn't much.]
