XO: Step in first you must.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
XO: Yes do go first.
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
XO: Come on sir, you know you have to go first

XO: This is what you need to remember
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::her giggles turn into a more constant laugh::
Host blond_girl says:
ACTION: A very bright light is beneath them and they are falling rapidly into it
Host blond_girl says:
XO: The answer lies in the proteins
FCO_Diego says:
::laughs::
Host blond_girl says:
XO: And where there are proteins, there are anti proteins
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
ALL: look its the light weve made it!::laughs histerically::
XO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
:: looks at the Girl as she speaks::
Host blond_girl says:
ACTION: In all laughter and happiness they fall. Into the light they go, into a more simple and logical universe? or even into a more twisted one? Who's to say?
