Dr. Bob(au): I suspect your exocomp should be susceptible to disruptor overlaod.... :-) No counter, all yours.
Geezer Kes: Draw 3+1. end turn :-)
Dr. Bob(au): hmm. Another Fek pops up next to his chum. They exchange unpleasantries. Draw 1, yt
Geezer Kes: ...and another Exocomp reports for duty at the Fed OP. draw 1 end turn

[Dr. Bob does a Klingon Death Yell on-line, something about not paying his library fees :-) and gets 5 pts.]
Geezer Kes: Klingon Death Yell right? uh-huh
Dr. Bob(au): GK; correct.
Geezer Kes: Okay, my turn...a Runabout is reported at the Fed OP. Two little Exocomps get on and pilot it to ... Study Hole in Space. draw 1 end turn
BGJ: hello kes whats up
Geezer Kes: Hi BG, I'm playing a game
Dr. Bob(au): Hmm; well, a 3rd Fek appears at the other outpost and takes in the veiw of 2 toys driving a boat. Both the others attempt sensitive search and hit Coalescent. They hit the planet.
Dr. Bob(au): What are the requirements? I have 2 verey sensitive Guardians of the dead here, maybe they can do it?
Dr. Bob(au): Assuming I fail, draw 1, yt
Geezer Kes: I doubt that...Computer Skill and CUNNING greater than 28
BGJ: hi dr.bob you and kes are finaly playing that game that you were late for friday

Macmanyosi: Can I just ask one thing? What is the score? I'll stay quit until it is over.
BGJ: i just whach
Dr. Bob(au): A 2nd fek appears at the hole. They attempt and hit Armus (misseed) and coalescent. Requirements?
Dr. Bob(au): 1 at SensSearch turns his toes up (I LEFT THE KETTLE ON!) 5pts yt
Dr. Bob(au): Mac; 10-0 to me currently, about to change I think.
Geezer Kes: Hmmm. Study needs Honor + Leadership + INTEGRITY greater than 30 or Gowron + Biology
qwert: Ooops, game, hmmmmmm...
Dr. Bob(au): GK; cool, they'll just dither then.
Geezer Kes: Bob, did you "draw 1 end turn"?
[looooong lull as Dr. Bob has computer access problems]
Dr. Bob(au): GK, yes I did, yt
Geezer Kes: Thank you. Now I forget who's turn it was... oh, my turn
Geezer Kes: Ah-ha! The little Exocomps build a new Federation Outpost at Investigate Massacre! Then they beam down to the planet to attempt.
Dr. Bob(au): How bizarre! One of them has all attributes 3 and is now a member of the Tel Shiar with hairdressing skills!
Geezer Kes: LOL
Geezer Kes: I guess it doesn't matter which one, eh?
Dr. Bob(au): The second breezes past Empathic Echo and Cardy trap both.
Geezer Kes: Cool!!
Dr. Bob(au): I think it is the one on the left.
Geezer Kes: draw 1 end turn
Geezer Kes: Little Exocomp actually *increased* in strength there ;-)
Dr. Bob(au): The dead Feks re-manifest. The other ones die. 1 yell each, 10 pts (now 20-0) draw 1 yt.
Dr. Bob(au): GK and it is wearing a Boufant wig as well I suspect.
Geezer Kes: Wait a second... what's killing these poor creatures?
Dr. Bob(au): Coalescent Organism and good planning. :-)
Geezer Kes: Data reports to the OP at Massacre. draw 1 end turn
Geezer Kes: Ah! Aha!
Dr. Bob(au): lather rinse repeat (ie, same as last turn) draw 1, yt
Dr. Bob(au): (30-0 to me)
Geezer Kes: 10 points again??
Geezer Kes: Worf reports to OP at Massacre. draw 1 end turn *groan*
Dr. Bob(au): GK; yep. :-)
Dr. Bob(au): Tent for specific card, draw and play Traveller. Lather rinse etc, now 40-0, nil cards in hand, draw 2.
Copernicus: DB: good things holograms have DNA
Dr. Bob(au): yt
Geezer Kes: Getting so many well wishes on ICQ I had to turn it off ;-)
Dr. Bob(au): I had actually planned to do this at A Good Place to Die. :-)
Solok: GK: hrumph.
Dr. Bob(au): ..
Geezer Kes: Another Exocomp reports to OP at Massacre. They all beam down and complete. (Worf has Diplomacy and INT = 35 and CUNNING = 37). Yes! a mission completed.
Geezer Kes: Sorry, it takes me a while to count all those attributes up.
Geezer Kes: 40 to 35
Dr. Bob(au): Well done! (round of polite applause)
Geezer Kes: They beam to Runabout and move to Diplomacy Mission. draw 1 end turn
Solok: Yay Kes.
Dr. Bob(au): lather rinse but only 1 yell now. 45-35, draw 2, yt
Geezer Kes: LOL, I'd say so (those poor dear Fek'lhrs!)
Geezer Kes: Exocomp #4 reports for duty at Fed OP at Repair Mission. He talks Mr. Homn, who's been bumming around visiting shops, I suppose, into attempting Repair mission.
Solok: dB going for a holo-victory as ever.
Dr. Bob(au): GK; what are Homms skills (apart from teh reporting thing)?
Dr. Bob(au): GK; never mind
Geezer Kes: Homn's very talented at allowing other Empaths to report wherever he might be, and boasts the skill of nullifying Empathic Echo. (He's a personal favorite)
Dr. Bob(au): OK, Frame of Mind again, who hit it?
Geezer Kes: Choose "left" or "right"
NS: Besides, Mr. Homm's got the look that women love and men despise.
Dr. Bob(au): left
Geezer Kes: Darn! Mr. Homn gets hit
Geezer Kes: I *was* hoping you'd boost my Exocomp's strength again ;-)
Geezer Kes: But we're not stopped by FoM, so what's next?
Dr. Bob(au): Same as before, sails through Emp Echo and Mr Homm gets put in the trap. Captive hairdresser!
Dr. Bob(au): If I were picky, I would say the last trap was still there and caught Worf or Data, but I'm not, so there. :-P
Geezer Kes: Oh no! cool. Play Q's Tent by choice, get Red Alert into my hand. (counter?)
Dr. Bob(au): Not a 1
Geezer Kes: Oh, I'm not very good at dilemmas... did I do something wrong back there?
Geezer Kes: no draw end turn
[another loooong lull]
Dr. Bob(au): Still there GK?
Geezer Kes: You're back :-)
Solok: If dB's back, I'll shut up *zip*
Trelane: BBL.
Macmanyosi: *keeping quiet so they can play*
Geezer Kes: It's your turn, Bob
Dr. Bob(au): yeah. Here is the last thing I posted. A 3rd Fek appears at the hole and watches his chum die. No-one cares any more. Draw 2, yt. GK; don't worry about it.
Geezer Kes: I'm going to play my Red Alert, then, and draw 1 end turn
Dr. Bob(au): lather rinse, play 1 yell, (50pts now) tent for random, pick a number between 1 and 5
Geezer Kes: 3
Dr. Bob(au): Cool! A Kevy! Whack that Red Alert. No Draw, your turn (tent returned to top of deck)
Copernicus: DB: your deck runs on having a scary voice :)
Geezer Kes: *doh!*
Geezer Kes: Report Exocomp at Repair Mission. Crew at Diplomacy Mission will beam down and attempt.
Dr. Bob(au): GK; has anyone been there before?
Geezer Kes: No, they just moved there in a runabout
Geezer Kes: about two turns ago
Dr. Bob(au): Who is there?
Dr. Bob(au): Same as before, FoM 1st; left if 2, centre if 3
Geezer Kes: Worf, Data, 2 Exocomps at full strength, and one a Tal-Shiar Barber
Geezer Kes: Why didn't I guess that you've have those dilemmas again...
Dr. Bob(au): Hmm, I'll keep it at centre (3rd of 5)
Geezer Kes: Ahh...what do you mean by "left if 2, centre if 3"?
Geezer Kes: Oh, I see... #3 is Exocomp#1
Dr. Bob(au): They're everywhere!!!
Geezer Kes: So I now have two Exocomps who are dangerous barbers? ;-)
Geezer Kes: I should have red-shirted them again...
Dr. Bob(au): The remainder breese through Emp Echo and either Worf or Data get trapped. Flip a coin (or card) face up, Data, else Worf.
Solok: GK: I'm still safe, though.
Geezer Kes: Worf...
Geezer Kes: draw 1 end turn
Dr. Bob(au): GK; I put him in a seperate room to the hairdresser.
Dr. Bob(au): 2 die, no-one cares, draw 2. yt
Geezer Kes: Bob, do we have to stop now? is your lunch break over?
Geezer Kes: Play Kivas-Fajo, Collector
Dr. Bob(au): I should but carry on anyway.
Geezer Kes: Counter?
Dr. Bob(au): Clear.
Geezer Kes: draw 3. Those at Diplomacy Mission beam up and runabout moves to Fed OP at Investigat Massacre. draw 1 end turn
Geezer Kes: Now I'm going to be stuck reporting one person at a time until I get them all reported ;-)
Dr. Bob(au): HegTa (spelling?) appears at Sensative Search. Lather, rinse, no interest, draw 2, your turn
[another looooong lull]
Dr. Bob(au): Sorry, access is crapful at the moment.
Geezer Kes: Okay, then. Exocomp reports to OP at Massacre. draw 1 end turn
Dr. Bob(au): OK, Quark appears at Sens search, he and all present get on the boat, go to repair mission and stop. All Feks get off, 2 die, 2cheers (10pts) draw 2, your turn.
Dr. Bob(au): Wait!
Geezer Kes: ..
Dr. Bob(au): Misread list. All (exceptQuark) get off at Restore Errant.
Geezer Kes: Okay... and the Fek'lhrs (Brad rest their souls) still die?
Geezer Kes: (and, yes, Brad can rest the souls of even Holograms...)
Solok: Hallelujah, sister.
Dr. Bob(au): hmm, that being a Space mission, I suspect they all die. :-)
Dr. Bob(au): Wait, can I run that again?
Geezer Kes: *grin*
Geezer Kes: Please do!
Dr. Bob(au): no-one gets off. Pick left or right
Geezer Kes: Left!
Dr. Bob(au): Cool! Quark was not infected. :-)
Dr. Bob(au): yt
Geezer Kes: Play Kivas Fajo-Collector. Counter?
Dr. Bob(au): no
Geezer Kes: Draw 3+1 end turn
Geezer Kes: (*Yes, I got it!*) ahem... your turn
Dr. Bob(au): a 6th fek appears at Repair. The boat ends up there too and all get off except Quark. 2 die, but only 1 is noticed. 65pts to me now? Draw 2, yt
Geezer Kes: Hmm, they're getting off the ship at that space mission again... silly Fek'lhrs... okay, my turn, play Red Alert! :-)
Dr. Bob(au): GK; at least there is an outpost there this time. :-)
Dr. Bob(au): No counter
Geezer Kes: Oh, thank goodness! draw 1 end turn (how many cards left in your draw deck?)
Dr. Bob(au): 3
Geezer Kes: It's going to be tight...
Dr. Bob(au): All aboard, off to the Hole, pick up the feks, back to Brute Force, all but quark off. What do they find?
Geezer Kes: At Brute force they encounter an incomprehensible Tamarian who says, "Shaka, When the Walls Fell"
Dr. Bob(au): I suspect they beat the crap out of him. No-one notices anyone die, draw 2, yt
~: hmmm....
Geezer Kes: All right! now the rules question, can I report all my personnel at two different OP's on this one turn?
Dr. Bob(au): Yes
Geezer Kes: ..unbelievable! I don't have any Diplomacy left... *erg* Dip Mission is out, so everyone will report to Repair Mission, and I think we have enough to solve that. Reporting...
Geezer Kes: Beverly Crusher, Dr. Selar, Jo'Bril, Dr. Reyga, Vekor, Roga Danar, another Vekor, Bok, two more Exocomps and a Runabout.
~: ...
Dr. Bob(au): Where dids ot go? I don't remember Mr Homm or the Exocomps having that much?
Geezer Kes: There's no more dilemmas at Repair Mission right?
Dr. Bob(au): What is that in the peartree? :-)
Dr. Bob(au): No, not a one.
Geezer Kes: Homn was captured in a Cardy Trap, like Worf
~: ...
Dr. Bob(au): I know. Quickly please.
Geezer Kes: I just had two other Exocomps at the outpost, one of them another dangerous Barber (I think)
Geezer Kes: Solve Repair, 70 - 65. Board runabout and move to Restore Errant Moon. Attempt.
Dr. Bob(au): Have you been there before?
BGJ: get him kes
Geezer Kes: Nope, haven't been there before. Hmm. planet mission. I think I'll just send down a couple of Exocomps to attempt.
Geezer Kes: Let me guess... FoM, Empathic Echo, Cardy Trap?
Dr. Bob(au): Well, one is pumped up in strength and becomes a cantankerous miracle worker. (Like SK?) They proceed and clear.
Geezer Kes: So, Roga has Leadership, Bok has Astrophysics, and I have loads of ENGINEER. They solve. :-)
Dr. Bob(au): I suspect the dilemmas (other than FoM) are still there, but since I didn't worry about them before I wont now. You pass, succeed and win! Congratulations!
Geezer Kes: Sorry, that's Jo'Bril with Astrophysics, not Bok
Dr. Bob(au): Sorry to break your losing streak. :-)
Geezer Kes: See that ~! I won one! I actually won one!
Geezer Kes: Oh, that's okay Bob. ;-) Thanks for the game. :-)
Dr. Bob(au): Well done Kes; was it silly enough for you?
Geezer Kes: The Exocomps vs. the Fek'lhrs - silly enough! ;-)
Geezer Kes: Exocomps RULE!!
BGJ: hey kes good job
Geezer Kes: I can see, though, that I need more Empathy in this deck...
Geezer Kes: Thank you Benny :-)
Dr. Bob(au): My Feks were (nearly) running scared from those electrical barbers. You may have noticed there is a lot of opportunity on a Fek (thats why they were willing to die in large numbers
Geezer Kes: So, the Cardy trap should have stopped me for a turn each time, though, right?
Dr. Bob(au): At least you dont have to ruin your HoF standing for excellence in the feild of game loss with this one GK. :-)
Geezer Kes: Bob, I sent you and e-mail. I am now officially #1 at the bottom of the HoF. And get this... if I lose 57 *more* points,
Geezer Kes: I can wrap around and be at the *top* of the HoF. Cool eh?
Dr. Bob(au): :-) GeeKes, Lakanta of the HoF.
This transcript is mostly unedited except for removing the IP numbers. There are lines I missed copying, but I have attempted to fill in the parts I missed (grey, in brackets). Mistakes were made, but it was all in good fun. And, if you note, due to recent current rulings, Dr. Bob's strategy of killing Fek'lhrs with Coalescent Organism is now legal. I have tried to approximate text colours for those whose I couldn't remember. -GK
