Glisten/Spinward Marches (2036 A000986-F) Date: 082-1117 *The Emperor Strephon was assassinated on 132-1116. His assassin, the Archduke Dulinor of Ilelish, fled the scene. *The fighting during and after the assassination plot also took the lives of Empress Isolde, Grand Princess Iphegenia, and Prince Varian.

Quotes
Searcher watches the .oO( inevitable with humans it seems ) slide into violence, she decides distraction is the better part of valor. .oO( So hard to tell which ones are female, they all look like greased Aokle...) She fixes her eyes on the ones who haven't engaged, "Now, ladies, we should not get involved in this. Let the men settle their honor amongst themselves."
Aslan diplomacy by Hleakhlo
Oz ignores the swing and growls back, "I may be happy, but only because raw Human Scrotum is a delicacy in the Extents."
Once more his claws flash in the lowlight of the taproom. Ozrothkhe on Vargr cuisine, Aki Dowport
Harley's hands spasm against the controls as she fights against the delirium. A wave of vertigo washes over her, giving the sense of falling in all directions at the same time. The chair's harness catches her as she slumps forward into unconsciousness...
.oO(So...damn....close....) Harley Sikes, Battle of Aki
--{No, no,}-- he continues, speaking as he thinks. --{The sheer mass of the Jump Drive is too much to move with the five of us. Could we somehow piggy-back the two ships? Maneuvering with the El-ahrairah and then jumping with the Sword?}--
Ozrothkhe, Operation:Piggyback is conceived
Harley grins and pats Searcher gently on the shoulder, "I haven't got enough experience with psionics or ghosts to fill a shot glass."
"But spirits," she smiles pulling a bottle of brown liquid from the nearby shelf and filling her glass, "spirits are something I am intimately familiar with. Whether those poor bastards on that ship were some old emperor's elite guard or psionics being suppressed, I'm damn glad their ship's here after all these years, and grateful it'll get us back to a proper spacedock." Raising her glass to the dead, Harley adds, "If there are any restless spirits on that hulk, here's hoping they'll return to resting in peace." Harley Sikes, "A Toast to the Dead", Ghost Ship
"You know," Hlea says, flexing her dewclaw, "I never really put much in your human way of referring to ships as if they have spirits, but after these last weeks I may have to rethink that position."
