Host SteveG says:
Mission began with the unknown vessel picking up its speed.  The BoP finally arrived and the crew boarded and headed to meet the unknown vessel before it reached Hais.  XO Azhure tried contacting the ship and finally it replied but with audio only ordering the BoP to take them to Hais with no questions. Abertura decided it was going to help out the

scanning of the vessel by sending up probes, which the unknown ship promptly destroyed and warned against further probes or more severe ramifications would occur
Host SteveG says:
In mission another vortex opened up near the planet and another one of those unkown ships took up orbit as the other one coming in damaged the BoP .  Eventually it got to an armed conflict and the nearest ship was able to land. Eventually after some heated words
Host SteveG says:
the ship that landed went up to orbit again and first contact proceedings were about to be initiated
Host SteveG says:
Once the amulet was brought aboard the ship, it started glowing. Fascinated the XO looked into it deeply. Then the amulet starts glowing a steady red and in front of the whole crew the XO is dematerialized and seems to have disappeared into the amulet.

CSec_Lt_Powers says:
@*CSO*: I need some answers, Chief.  In the meantime get a stasis field or something set up around it...

CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
@ *CSec*: ::Thinks it over for a second:: Well, the upside is that would give me a lot better environment, not to mention equipment with which to investigate it. The flip side of that that would be putting it back down on the planet.

CSec_Lt_Powers says:
@COM: Abertura: Begging the Captain's pardon... but why don't we cooperate with the aliens?  If this is their artifact, they may know how to get the Exec back.  Since they seem to be cooperating at the moment...

CSec_Lt_Powers says:
@*CSO*: That sounds.. promising.  We're heading back to the station right now, maybe we can try to beam those lifesigns out of the amulet?  I'm sure you'll come up with something, Ensign.  Or live with the guilt that you couldn't do anything to save her.

CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
SO_Turke: Yeah. It started making that just before we beamed down. If it get's too bad we'll have to dampen the sound.

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@CMO & Syarta: And here we are.

Host SteveG says:
ACTION: The sounds start making a pattern

CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
@CVO:  Of course we are.

@ *CSEC* I've just arrived with Lieutenant Jules and Mr. Syarta.

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> @ ::Stands up from his seat::

CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
SO: ::Glances up at the SO from over his console:: Yeah....well, it could be. Or it could be just noise.

CSec_Lt_Powers says:
@*CVO*: Please pass my regards on to Syarta... why are you guys here?

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ *CSEC* The Captain wanted us to hold a meeting onboard the Bird of Prey between Syarta and the aliens.

@ Syarta:  Let me make sure it is secure before you exit the vehicle.

@*CVO*: Are we sure that's a good idea?

CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
SO: In the mean time, while the UT is working on the noise, let's see if we can identify that other lifesign, and maybe figure out the way this thing operates?

CMO_Ltjg_Jules says:
@ :: checks outside to make sure it's secure ::

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ *CSEC* It's the Captain's idea, sir.

CSec_Lt_Powers says:

@ :: motins at Syarta :: Syarta:  It is clear.

Host CO_Capt_M`Tor says:

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
<Syarta> @ ::Exits:: CMO: Thank you. CVO: Mr. Deegan, could you please ask Mr. Powers to contact the aliens and have them come here?

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:

@*CVO*: I... they're hailing us.  I'll be down soon, Powers out.  COM: Vosh: This is Powers, commander of the Bird of Prey.

CSO_Ens_Kirkbride says:
SO: Well, it does seem to have the ability to absorb life forms into it's structure while keeping them separate and apparently keeping them alive.

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ *CSEC* Understood, sir.

Vosh says:
%COM: BoP:  Klingon vessel, this is Vosh, from the Malavorn Empire... please respond.

CVO_Ens_Deegan says:
@ Syarta / CMO: They're hailing the aliens now. I ... think we're supposed to go to the Mess Hall. Anyone know where the Mess Hall is?
