This should prove interesting. If I might ask, what have former ports been like? I would appreciate some foreknowledge, whether they have been similar or not.

Severus, have you had any survival training? I would like to know where we stand.

Lieutenant Reed, are you planning to disembark tomorrow?

I am lead to believe that Q brought me back through some sort of power of his. Were you here when Q was?

I recall references to him, but I don't believe we spoke.

Now that he is gone, perhaps you should avoid falling off the Barge, sir.

I tried to avoid it at the time, trust me, Commander. I think many people managed to be persuaded they were actually themselves before the end of the port.

Interesting. What happened to those that didn't fall off?

I think that depended on where they ended up. I got the lasting impression of drinking, debauchery and excessive violence, from what I found out afterwards.

Then even the regular port was not without its problems.

Not particularly, no. But it was Ancient Rome, I don't think it really came with a 'problem-free' option.

No, but it would seem a curious plays to...'stop at,' so to speak.

It was, indeed. I'm hoping we don't stop at other places in history. That could be... troublesome.

In any of our histories.

I would dread to land any of you in mine. ~~even if it might give me another chance~~

A shared sentiment, sir.

Ancient Rome would seem placid in comparison to Vulcan before the Time of Awakening.

I personally would not like to imagine. I think it'd make even my time look calm.

Although I do not think many here would be used to the strict enforced morality of my time.

No, I would imagine not. Especially not with the varied beliefs held by those aboard.

Aye, and I doubt I could save too many from the hangman.

As I imagine very few would submit to such a fate, the subsequent bloodshed is not a scene I would be interested in seeing.

Aye, probably not. Even so, I cannot imagine many coming out victorious, especially if limited to my time's weaponry.

Personally, now I think about it, I have a horrific image of every woman on board bar my wife, and a proportion of the male population, ending up in the infirmary dead.

~~unless, of course...~~ I sincerely doubt this will ever happen, though.

One should hope. That must be an unpleasant image to harbor.

Do the same - 'laws' regarding death on the barge apply during ports?

...you have no idea.

In a sense? I believe you come back on the Barge as not to frighten the locals? I don't know exactly. I only killed a man, I didn't die.

I see. Someone not of the Barge, I assume?

I did mean the Master. I know he made it back to life some how, but the mechanics of it, as opposed to normally, I don't know.

I see. It would seem fair to presume such, but given the situation...

Indeed. I tend to try to avoid death as a precaution anyway.

Agreed.

Sexby wonders what's wrong with it too. He'd have done the same if he were him.

Best Brutus ever.

sexby in canon pretty much = brutus-who-failed

D: You had to have better than a knife, Sexby, come on.

he had five loaded pistols, but an unreliable co-conspirator who snitched on him.

That dick. :|

and cromwell lives and sexby shoots himself. :(

D: Worst Caesar story ever.

brutus of massive fail, this man is. D:

You let Caesar ruin Rome, Sexby. D:

at least he managed his assassination of the master. :D

...You know what, that fixes everything.

totally. never mind, you missed the guy that counted, but the master's a fair replacement.

Better than fair. It rights allwrongs. Yay Sexby! They will cheer in the streets!

stabbity stabbity. it's sexby's thing, this assassination bidness.

Is a good bidness.
