[036] - Treasure Hunt Part 2!

[when the sphere comes on, Oliver is still in the Temple of Osiris, looking just about too excited to contain himself] I found it! Doctor, I found it! I found the message!

[takes a breath, trying to calm down enough to be coherent, although he's still grinning from ear to ear] Okay. So. You're not going to believe this, but Commander Orion

[bluewhitecross]

Well, very well then.

[If it breaks she'll blame him. B|

She calls out her bow, takes aim at Orion's constellation, and shoots- 1,200 arrows in one try, baby!- at Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, Rigel, Alnilam, Mintaka, Alnitak, Saiph, Hatsya, Meissa.... Even possibly Aldebaran and the ones of the Canis Major. The rest of the arrows just... well, hit nothing.]

[savetheliving]

It would have taken longer but have been less taxing if you'd shot the arrows one at time.

[bluewhitecross]

[Gee thanks for the vote of confidence.] You have your own methods.

[savetheliving]

You don't find it to be a waste that you shot so many arrows that did nothing?

[bluewhitecross]

It served a purpose- cancelling out which stars are useless.

[savetheliving]

Even the ones that hit open space?

[bluewhitecross]

There are stars there as well.

[savetheliving]

[Pressing this point is useless, isn't it?]

[bluewhitecross]

[Of course.]

[savetheliving]

Merope in the Pleiades cluster, perhaps?

He could have been trying to say "lost pleiad," or the like.

[savetheliving]

[Gonna shoot that star with an arrow regardless. Doesn't hurt to try, right?]

[sos_chorus]

[Yeah, he just walked in when he saw that little display.]

[bluewhitecross]

[Hot damn. A bigger audience.]

[sos_chorus]

[A very impressed bigger audience]

H-how did you do that?

[bluewhitecross]

I had simply put my energies into making and firing them.

[sos_chorus]

Note to self: never get this woman angry.

How many was that? How could you even fit them all onto... and once again in this crazy place, I'm left speechless.
