MESTRAL: I didn't initiate it.

 

[retroenzo]

T'MIR: You're to have no further contact with that woman.

 

[BlueStuff]

MESTRAL: You can't make that decision.

 

[mattman8907]

T'MIR: I'm still in command.

 

[retroenzo]

MESTRAL: Command of what? Our mission is over. It's time to accept the fact that we may never leave this world.

[Pine Tree bar]

(The bar is closed, and T'Mir is going around the tables blowing out the candles when she pauses and sits down.)
JACK: I was just going to play some pool. I didn't mean to bother you. What are you doing?

 

[Athena28]

T'MIR: I was about to meditate.

 

[mattman8907]

JACK: Really? Are you just trying to clear your mind, or reach a higher spiritual plane? I spend a lot of time at the library.

 

[Athena28]

T'MIR: Studying meditation techniques?

 

[retroenzo]

JACK: Different things. Mostly about places I'd like to visit, like Tibet. The Buddhist monks there meditate every day. And in India, they're got these mystics called fakirs. Supposedly they can almost stop their hearts just by using willpower

 

[BlueStuff]

T'MIR: You'd be surprised what a disciplined mind can accomplish. What else do you study at this library?

 

[Athena28]

JACK: Astronomy, literature. Sometimes I'll just pick a book off the shelf and start reading. What about you, what do you like to read?

 

[USS Triumphant]

T'MIR: Romulan homoerotic fan fiction, mostly.

 

[BlueStuff]

T'MIR: I have an interest in astronomy as well.

 

[retroenzo]

T'MIR: Romulan homoerotic fan fiction, mostly.

(JACK: Oh yeah I've seen those websites...)

or alternatively...

JACK: Oh really? Did you know that minutes after dusk, when the sun is just right you can see Sputnik with the naked eye. Maybe tomorrow I could show you.

 

[mattman8907]

T'MIR: I've seen it already.

 

[Athena28]

Oh. It's amazing. Don't you think? Well, I'll let you get back to your meditating. It was nice talking to you.

 

[mattman8907]

T'MIR: And you.

 

[BlueStuff]

[Mine]

BILLY: Mestral!

 

[retroenzo]

MESTRAL: Hello.
