I've done this on other boards and it's a great way to give kudos to a member for great writing. If you see something from one of the rps that you really love, quote it here and let them know!
======================================================
From an older file. There may be duplicates with that from above.
"Well, then. Crew morale seems to be up." --Kealan, after Robin got randy with Kinin right in front of him on the Bridge
"Let me know if he dies and I'll do a dissection before you get another one." --Hunter, to Tegan about a cat
"Nathan stepped towards her, worried that she would do something rash and get herself shot, and then he'd have to do something equally rash to avenge her. And he'd rather avoid that, to be quite honest." --Nathan, probably regretting falling for a security officer
"True to her word, the security officer was nipping at the heels of the engineer like some over excited cattle-dog as they ran toward the explosive devices." --Eden, always heading toward danger
"It is my time to talk," Kealan cut him off, stepping closer to the imager in the process. "You see, here's the thing. War does something to a Captain. Whether he wins or loses the battle, he has fought with his crew, hand in hand, watched them fall and, hopefully, watched them persevere through incredible odds. You want to know the quality of the Federation? There it stands, on your screen, in the shape of each and every member of my crew that plays your game and risks their lives to save this ship. If that isn't enough for you, then I believe I am done talking. The next move is yours." --Kealan, defending his crew
"Maybe she would go sit down and ask that he buy her a drink for not blowing up his department or maybe he was there celebrating the fact that he spent every single day not blowing up his department." --Eden, thinking about the Engineering Chief
"It appears your PADDs have arrived." --Diran, in dry commentary after Tahp threw the devices in anger at Tekison
"After stopping the flow of blood from Kehlt's leg wound, Victor walked over to the replicator. "Cheeseburger, double patty, bacon, avocado, onions, pepperjack cheese, no sauce." Carrying the large burger into the cockpit, Victor plopped into a chair with a contented sigh. Taking a bite, he savored the taste, his eyes closed, and finally swallowed. "I missed you most of all," he said to the burger." --Victor, nonplussed from his rather violent day
"Dealing with the Q had to be among the most humbling of experiences anyone in Starfleet ever faced. It left you realizing just how minute and arguably insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe. Of course, humans had a knack for constantly not accepting that fact." --Henri
“I hope stellar cartography saved their work, because…” A chord of beeps confirmed that the lab was now shut down. “Oh, well.” --Tegan, gleefully shutting down non-essential systems
"Do you... would you ever consider... maybe one day we could discuss...Lunch?" -Hunter
"Being a tin of tuna was a really bad thing especially in deep bloody space." --Eilidh
"For that moment, she was thoroughly embroiled in the idea that she, she, the lowly unimportant operations officer, was having some contact with the most enigmatic and least understood race in the universe." --Georgia, on meeting a Q
"The blinding light of the wormhole flashed at the ship as if taking a picture of the ship's epic moment before entering unknown regions and engulfing the ship in it's beautiful and yet dangerous embrace." --Robin
"Does he want us to inventory the wormhole, too?" --Kinin
"Maybe it's that Lieutenant Rell again, come to give you a lecture for crying in a non-regulation manner." --Georgia
"You can replicate toothbrushes and..." He looked at the number of women in the room. "...stuff". --Adam
"I don't care right now if she is descended from apes or bananas. Every creature needs to be treated with dignity." --Sig
"Judging by the rumors I've heard of Quin, you'd likely have better luck printing your instructions on the backside of the most attractive lady in range of the Science Lab." --Emmarie, on Quin's main focus
"Reesa had a sneaking suspicion that 'Diplomacy' was towards the bottom of Robin's priority list, most likely between 'Tact' and 'Common Sense'." --Reesa"
"Besides, I'm better with a computer than I'll ever be with a shuttle. One should play to one's strengths in life. How else can we hope to rise to the lofty heights of testing lighting circuits?" --Georgia"
"This is going to be the most ridiculous marriage in the history of everything." --Georgia, on her own engagement
"Because of course you could wield a phaser and have perfect hair at the same time." --Kathryn
"I'm the 25th century Wonder Woman." --Morgan
"Name me anyone else on the ship who thinks that a proportionate reaction to a sarcastic text message is to go knock up some Orion girl you just met?" --Georgia, on Hunter's character, or lack thereof
"You appear to have chronitons on your trousers, Commander." --Etaera, after scanning Jonathan, who had been crotch-grabbed by Boribeth in order to hitchhike on his transporter beam.
"If she had known they were going to be in a fire fight she wouldn't have bothered to straighten her hair." --Eilidh
"Giving a Klingon an aspirin is like throwing a spear at a Starship." --Kane
"Say Thermodesulfobacterium hydrogeniphilum." --Scientist Hunter taking a picture.
"If you feel like the world has turned its back on you stop and look, its more likely you turned your back on the world." --Eilidh
"Do you electroshock everyone who tries to make friends with you, or just the ones not in short skirts?" --Tim to Hunter
"He took a step towards the Thing and crossed his arms over his chest. It was a sad, but valiant attempt to physically intimidate a non-corporeal being." --Cobus
"Just then, the creature shot up from the floor, between Hunter's legs. Like many of Hunter's thoughts, it moved from his crotch up to his brain. Hunter squealed like a girl and danced around." --Hunter, encountering a non-corporeal being taking a detour to his brain.
"Starfleet should have a rule against Captains being that attractive. Although, I guess that helps with diplomacy. He could talk his way into my trousers any day." --Rychel.
"Have I missed some new human holiday where bacon ice cream is considered... normal?" --Dakbar.
"Dear USS Talon, try flying the ship without your Warp Core Specialist. Xoxo Lieutenant Cobus Rok. P.S. I hope you like travelling at impulse." --Cobus.
"A red alert is no time to go about stroking my ego." --Sig.
"Oh please. Vulcans do it all the time. They just enjoy it every 7 years." --Morgan.
"I'm sort-of-kind-of-maybe-nearly-might-someday-be-nearly-married!" --Georgia
"One would hope that the cranial ridge doesn't appear until after the birth, though Klingons do seem to like pain." --Morgan, on Kinin's pregnancy.
"Ahska's eyes were on the butt of the Midhara and how it moved as she walked. No wonder eyes on Etimon followed the woman. Ahska wondered how her own butt moved. Probably not as bouncy."
"Well I mean, if you don't think Dr Strangelove is one of the best movies of all time then I'm going to have to ignore you for a whole ten minutes." --Eilidh
"There was something about a gorgeous woman holding a knife..." --Sig
"Her only social engagements were between her and her hypospanner." --Seia
"Perhaps if the whole science thing didn't work, Quin could devote his life to writing a guide of how to offend various aliens." --Quin
"Crowds of humanoids were one of the most collectively stupid entities in the known universe." --Rychel
"How can we have such an awesome ship and such bad ice cream?" -Eilidh
"Reesa had a sneaking suspicion that Diplomacy was towards the bottom of Robin's priority list, most likely between Tact and Common Sense." --Reesa
"Judging by the rumors I've heard of Quin, you'd likely have better luck printing your instructions on the backside of the most attractive lady in range of the Science Lab." --Emmarie
"Those aren't my brains." --Adam, while covered in alien brain matter.
"Uh...Hello... Welcome to the Federation starship USS Talon. My name is Cobus Rok, I'm an engineer...Can I help you with something?" --First Contact 101 from Cobus.
"Somewhere in the fray he'd given up on being a diplomat and reverted to a normal, albeit tremendously confused person." --Cobus
"We would never harm a mother and child." --A Bacohl, thinking Cobus, a joined Trill, was a pregnant female after scanning him.
"He wished he were twenty people so that he could be even more helpful. That's what the universe needed, he nodded to himself, more William Hunters." --Hunter, about himself, of course.
"Was it against regulations to beat the Captain senseless if he enjoyed it?" --Emmarie
"He'd left in the first place because he died, but then he got better, although it took him some time to come to terms with the whole situation." --Emmarie, trying to explain Stetson's situation.
"Cobus followed the others out onto the landing pad, re-adjusting his pack so it wasn't cutting into his shoulder; it was heavy, because you needed a lot of stuff to make a moon." --Cobus
"Security is for emergencies, not for personnel incompetence." --Zakary
"Survival romance. She gave it a 30% chance of lasting a year." --Morgan on Greg and Lia's marriage
"I've not met all that many pilots who are particularly skilled negotiators. Not if their pickup lines are anything to go by, anyway." --Liandra
"I leave the alpha quadrant alone for a year or so, and all hell breaks loose." --Liandra
"Don't suppose I'm living up to my reputation as I stand here cuddling a teddy, am I? --Liandra
"If they issued all shuttles with pink floors and a giant flower attached to the windscreen, he might just resign." --Robin, after watching Darby turn the floor of a shuttle pink.
"'Chocolate buttons?' Before he could stop it, images of the Button sisters, covered in chocolate, invaded his thoughts. He swallowed hard and thought of the inner workings of the cargo lift mechanism." --Adam[/ul]
- Tilting her head to the side, she stared at his hand, then her eyes opened wider as she understood. She pulled the lid off of the tray and took a small fruit from it and placed it into Darius' palm. - A Gamma Quadrant alien response to a handshake attempt
- "This is going to be the most ridiculous marriage in the history of everything!" - Georgia Button, on her engagement to eccentric scientist William Hunter
- "I leave the Alpha Quadrant alone for a year or so, and all hell breaks loose." - Lianda Barlow
- "I wonder if he realizes how close he came to us having to mount his head to the warp core." - Darwin Fraser
- "One should play to one's strength in life. How else can we hope to rise to the lofty heights of testing lighting circuits?" - Georgia Button
- "All right...if it's green, it's gotta be biology. If it smells, it's chemistry. And if it doesn't work, well, it's gotta be physics." - Clyde
- "With all due respect Sir, if this whole Starfleet thing doesn't work out for you, I wouldn't pursue a career in acting." - Unknown
- "Giving a Klingon an aspirin is like throwing a spear at a starship." - Doctor Kane
- "I've not met all that many pilots who are particularly skilled negotiators. Not if their pickup lines are anything to go by, anyway." - Liandra Barlow
- "Do you...would you ever consider...maybe one day we could discuss...lunch?" - William Hunter in a miserable attempt to flirt
- For that moment, she was thoroughly embroiled in the idea that she, the lowly unimportant operations officer, was having some contact with the most enigmatic and least understood race in the universe. - Georgia Button, on meeting a Q
- "I'm the 25th Century Wonder Woman." - Morgan Wallace
- "I don't care right now if she is descended from apes or bananas. Every creature needs to be treated with dignity." - Doctor Sig Ericson
- "Are there any other moments that I need to be aware of, so that you don't sprint off in the middle of an emergency to anoint your loins with holy waters?" - Doctor Sig Ericson to Doctor Yaxley
- She could honestly say that bringing an infant with her on an exploratory away mission was not very logical... to boldly go where no baby has gone before. - Sin Frost
- Because, of course, you could wield a phaser and have perfect hair at the same time. - Kathryn Burnham
- "Maybe it's that Lieutenant Rell again, come to give you a lecture for crying in a non-regulation manner." - Georgia Button, disgruntled as usual
- "Does he want me to inventory the wormhole, too?" - Kinin
- "Let me know if he dies and I'll do a dissection before you get another one." That said, he put on his respirator and returned to the lab to see if he could find some new fungus among the decaying flesh inside. - William Hunter after discovering a crewman's ill cat.
- Kealan raised both eyebrows and turned toward the Bridge population. "Well, then. Crew morale seems to be up." - The Captain, nonplussed that Robin Star and Kinin became amorous on the Bridge.
- Adam blinked. Did he expect an asteroid field to be debris free? - Adam Cross
- "Aagh... tell my.... lady friends that I loved them... booties." - Bruce Splint
- Nathan stepped towards her, worried that she would do something rash and get herself shot, and then he'd have to do something equally rash to avenge her. And he'd rather avoid that, to be quite honest. - Nathan Landry, regarding his new love, Alyssa Jenison
- It left the man wondering what Sig must have sacrificed to the Starfleet gods to have such an incredible team. - Doctor Bernard Osler-Drew
- True to her word, the security officer was nipping at the heels of the engineer like some over excited cattle-dog as they ran toward the explosive devices. - Eden Nivans
- "It is my time to talk," Kealan cut him off, stepping closer to the imager in the process. "You see, here's the thing. War does something to a Captain. Whether he wins or loses the battle, he has fought with his crew, hand in hand, watched them fall and, hopefully, watched them persevere through incredible odds." [. . .] "You want to know the quality of the Federation? There it stands, on your screen, in the shape of each and every member of my crew that plays your game and risks their lives to save this ship. If that isn't enough for you, then I believe I am done talking." [. . .] "The next move is yours," Kealan said as his arms folded across his chest. - Captain Kealan Monroe, protecting his crew
- Maybe she would go sit down and ask that he buy her a drink for not blowing up his department or maybe he was there celebrating the fact that he spent every single day not blowing up his department. - Eden Nivans
- This was followed by what seemed like a long silence between them, before finally being broken by the clattering of PADDs hitting the deck, after impacting in what looked like a rather painful fashion between Tekison's shoulder blades. [...] "It appears your PADDs have arrived", he stated the obvious as he narrowed his eyes in the direction that Tahp had run off. - Diran, after Tahp threw some PADDs at Tekison Nevir
- After stopping the flow of blood from Kehlt's leg wound, Victor walked over to the replicator. "Cheeseburger, double patty, bacon, avocado, onions, pepperjack cheese, no sauce." Carrying the large burger into the cockpit, Victor plopped into a chair with a contented sigh. Taking a bite, he savored the taste, his eyes closed, and finally swallowed. "I missed you most of all," he said to the burger. - Victor Roman, cheeseburger aficionado
- Yolanda reached out and grabbed his arm pulling him back towards her. "I'll be a role model tomorrow. For now, put me down for ten on a slap." - Yolanda Vargas, a betting woman
- Granola bars came out, shared rather equally, and there was a small bit of affectionate rough-housing that was abruptly stopped when the Captain reappeared. Typically. - Liz Sur'Shess as the crew waited for the Captain to arrive
- Henri smiled slightly. Though, she could only imagine how people took that when that mission report made its rounds. Dealing with the Q had to be among the most humbling of experiences anyone in Starfleet ever faced. It left you realizing just how minute and arguably insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe. Of course, humans had a knack for constantly not accepting that fact. - Henrietta Braddock
- All in a day's work. And they didn't even blow up. - Liz Sur'Shess
- “I hope stellar cartography saved their work, because…” A chord of beeps confirmed that the lab was now shut down. “Oh, well.” - Tegan Mast
- Slime? "Julie produces slime?" His head bounced side to side as he tried to figure out from which orifice it would emit. Bob did not want to be within shooting distance. - Bob, the alien, misunderstanding something
- Robin nodded vigorously, as one would when you trusted everything of yourself to one person. - Robin Star
- How nice would it be to just stay on Risa for the rest of his life? Kealan swallowed and frowned. He was already far removed from what he desired. How would even more lightyears help? - Kealan Monroe
- After so much blood and misery, having been defiled by war, it was easy to become jaded but Eden had tied a knot at the end of a rope and held on tight to the memory of the universe's beauty- here it was in the form of a brand new friendship and the heart stopping view. This was what she's struggled for. - Eden Nivans
- Stopping what she was doing, Tahp regarded him with curiosity. "From what Bandon tells me, about all the satisfaction you get is with your hand in your pants." - Tahp
- "You let a handsome man touch your butt and suddenly you didn't even rate a hello? Rude." - Eden Nivans
- Fortunately, thus far the Gamma Quadrant had shown him that some of the nicest species possessed the most stunning technologies; he feared the day when he found the exception to that rule. - Cobus Rok
- Time is nothing. It stops and starts and revisits itself, epic journeys of adventure crumple into minutes, while paranoid delusions of missed appointments stretch on for hours. - Cobus Rok
- B'ranon looked upon Nevir once more. "Ensign," he began, "I know that recent events have very confusing, and I hope that you don't take any offense, but I have to ask." B'ranon swallowed before uttering the words. "I need to know the names of everyone you've kissed or been intimate with since our leave on Risa. It's definitely a matter of life and death." - B'ranon Loch
- They might as well have been brothers considering their history and the fact that they had been sailing this wild wave that was the Talon together since the beginning. Sig had always been the one to keep William's rudder straight, to keep him from overturning into the black depths where monsters like his brother dwelled. -Robin, abouth Hunter, after Sig's death
- One dark corner didn’t make the universe any less alive. - Cobus
- "It's-" Both of his eyebrows raised as she used his legs as a table. The woman could probably walk straight through a battalion of Cardassians, into the field office, and plop a horse head on a Gul's desk before anyone could stop her. - Victor, on Eden
- …and then her mind turned one last time back to the little fire Tahp had admired—the fire still burning outside—and she remembered that when the trees rotted to their core, and all that was left in a forest was diseased or dead—at times like that all it took was a small fire to burn it all away. - Tegan
- Eden had the gift of gab and was able to share the story of her people and draw out the stories of the Horisi people. She built bridges between them, she found comfort in their similarities and reveled in their differences. They met as strangers but she turned them into friends by doing what she did best, having no motives other than to be herself and spread the kindness and love she wanted to see in the world. - Eden
- Bernard had taken the utmost care healing Tegan's face so that the next time she shot him a bratty glower they could both appreciate it a little more. -Bernard
