Denobulans do, apparently. And I LOVE the new smilies!!! :clap:


Here's an easy one.


I am doing all I can to remain objective. My notes are extensive, a documentation of this monumental experimental opportunity. Whenever possible I refer to the subject by the objective pronoun “it”, as befits a non-sentient life form.

I have not been able to discover the means by which the creature has temporarily borrowed sentience and memories. Genetic memory seems a scientific impossibility, and yet there he sits, smiling at me and asking for pie.

I am doing all I can to remain objective, but I cannot shake the feeling that tomorrow I will be forced to kill my son.

Hmm... I wonder who that could be? :lol: 8) I like how you've got the person in question scrambling for answers on all the scientific impossibilites. I know they kind of get under your skin. So that was awesome.

But it's not practical to play footsie in tights. You'd think a multiple partner society would take that into consideration.

Here's Phlox :phlox:

I think it's Phlox, reflecting on the life on Sim.

While we wait for Dis to answer the question is this is right or wrong, I give you my lastest attempt to write in Japanese - a haiku or Japanese drabble. (Mm... maybe it will fit better with the cheat drabble, but it's also a guess who :nerd: ) Ever time when I think of T'Pol saying "This is something I must do" I think of nakereba narismen, the Japanese verb for "must do this". Of course, it isn't 100 words, so if I guessed it right I am going to write a new drabble. :D

Demo

Wakanakatta
T'Pol ga aiste iru
T'Pol wakanai
Demo, hitori
kaeru nakareba narismen

That is why

He didn't know
that he loved T'Pol
T'Pol didn't know
That is why alone
She had to return home
Love is a verb.

Very cool! Mom tried to teach us haiku when we were home schooling. Now I'm usually fair at different types of writing even poetry, (although I stopped that) but haiku is an art form beyond me just like drawing or painting. So I respect people who can do it. That was lovely Panyasan. I take it the guess who part is :trip: so I think I'm up. Now that I'm home I can do it. So give me a little time and I'll have something sorta niffty up. I've been thinking on it all morning.

If it get's us more smilies I'll live with it! So here's my entry since I'm up. It isn't hard to guess, it's a follow up.

I knew why she came the minute she entered my quarters. Knowing and believing are different things. I noticed her. I'm a man, no man with a pulse would not notice her. But I'm her Captain, and a smart Captain doesn't get involved with subordinates unless it's for drinking ale. Well, I never claimed to possess exceptional intelligence. But now my back is against the wall and I have two choices, take her, or arrest her. I know why she's here, but I didn't know I wanted her to be here. Until now. Take her it is. I'm not worthy.

This one is Talas!
I want this man! No, I need this man! He doesn't notice. All he sees is his soldier and my family's wealth and power. He thinks I would never look his way. Idiot! What do I want with those moronic fops? No other man would have the vision to find honor in those of our most hated enemies. No other man, would have been able to see what allies the humans can be. I'm outside his door now. For the first time in my life I'm terrified. The door opens, he's surprised. I love this man, time to show him.


Close though!
