Rumour has it that a short-haired Trill has been seen on the supply freighters that stop by DS-13. He never gives his name and never boards the station. Also, he doesn't appear to actually do anything on these freighters....

Rumor has it that Oliver Blackwood got into a heated argument with a doctor in the medical bay about his continued lack of off-station privileges; apparently, Blackwood insisted on being able to leave the station so that he could 'cut down [himself] a proper tree- none of the holographic crap'.

Rumor has it that Captain Evlyn Lahn used the holodeck for a secret meeting with some officials on Trill. The communication was heavily encrypted, and used spare processing from the science labs to handle the encryption. Supposedly someone on the Commission got read the riot act, but no one is saying anything.

Rumor has it that security was called to The Starlight Cantina well after midnight in order to escort an apparently inebriated Romulan to the brig. The two officers that were dispatched were reportedly found 'sleeping' on the promenade several hours later, with no memory of how they got there.

When asked about the incident, Swifty ostensibly denied making any calls to security, and even claimed that there were no Romulans at all in the establishment that night.

Rumor has it that Oliver Blackwood and Davin got into a rather loud argument on the promenade. What they were arguing about was unclear, but witnesses suggest that it was over who had the more tragic backstory about Davin's familial relations. Additionally, somehow, something that was shouted during the argument has rekindled rumors that Ollie is Brandy's father. Again. Jesus, it's like a soap opera.

Rumor among the younger frequenting officers of The Starlight Cantina have said that Dawsons M. McCarthy is dead. Others say, he has left the station to deal in a life of piracy. However, another set of officers do not believe this, as one claims to have seen him the other night. Though this has sparked into other rumors that Dawsons may still be illegal smuggling of some sort (With no real record or claim that he was doing that in the first place.)

However, no record about any of this has been filed, and in fact, several reports to Operations and Communications seem to lead to the fact he may just be working from his ship, and handling other duties.

The third shift maintenance supervisor mentioned at the supervisors' meeting that a Lt Sri destroyed a console in the medical lab. He didn't know whether it was a fight or what, but the entire front facing had to be replaced. The access logs showed that an EMH had used the console, but Lt. Sri had not, and she took responsibility for the damage.

Commander Flores was overheard talking to one of the officers of the watch at Delta Command about the clever communication sent from Delta Command to help end a conflict between the Collective and the Ocanti. Reportedly the officer said that DC didn't send out any such message, and pulled out the logs to prove it.

Rumor has it, Kermit is one of them. Shan always suspected....
Spoiler: ICShow
Shan looks up.

[local] Shan: Petty Officer Arkwright.

[local] Shan: You are still human?

[local] Adam Arkwright: "Hey sir, how's it go....uh...Yeah. Well, far as I know anyways" smiles easily

[local] Shan: I have a question on human history.

[local] Adam Arkwright: "Oh yea? go for it."

[local] Shan: I watched a documentary on human history last night.

Adam Arkwright nod nods.

[local] Shan: I am curious how the humans overcame the issues they caused with the Skynet computer AI that took over your planet after your nuclear war?

[local] Shan: Does the Temporal Department have a stance on your human history with time travel?

Adam Arkwright rubs his chin. "Say, was this history called..."Terminator?"

Shan nods. "Yes, that was the name of the documentary."

[local] Adam Arkwright: "Ah well...since you already know so much, I guess I could let you in on a secret...."

Shan listens.

[local] Adam Arkwright: "/Most/ people think that "Terminator" is just a work of fiction, but it seems like you got it figured out. Human society won't admit much too it but yea, we had to muck around with time travel to try

[local] Shan: I suspected as much.

Shan looks around.

[local] Adam Arkwright: "and stop the A.I. only that didn't really work. We had to cut a sort of deal with it 'cause we kept causing it so much trouble

[local] Shan: Your secret is safe with me.

Shan tilts his head to the side.

[local] Adam Arkwright: "We had to let a few live and do what they do...James Kermit.....is a terminator"

[local] Adam Arkwright: "Now don't /tell/ anyone I told you that!"

Shan darts his eyes around. "That seems plausible."

[local] Shan: I do believe his eyes were glowing once.

[local] Adam Arkwright: "He /totally/ could have put those Hirogen down the other day, only reason he didn't was to maintain his cover"

Shan nods.

[local] Shan: I shall stay clear of him, now.

[local] Shan: It is likely they will assume I am a threat and try to kill me.

[local] Adam Arkwright: "Don't avoid him TOO much, he might catch on that you know..and then he...might"

Shan looks around, considering.

[local] Shan: Very well. Thank you Petty Officer Arkwright.

Shan turns back to his console.

[local] Adam Arkwright: "Sure thing sir, ~sure thing?"
