The crew of the Ganymede has mysteriously been transported to an Eden like place. Oddly enough the mode of transportation seemed to be similar to a womb and not unpleasant. They are currently just outside what appears to be a small village and are experiencing some unexplained sounds.

<CNS_Ashworth> ::looks around to see if she can figure out where the laughter is coming from::
<XO_Silek> :: raises eyebrow and listens to the laughter ::
<FCO_Harlok> ::Looks for the source of the laughter:: All: Where is that coming from?
<OPS_Serok> XO: I can not discern where the laughter is coming from.
<CSO_Ray> XO: sir, scans show only dwellings, no life forms other than us
<XO_Silek> :: looks at Mr. Ray :: CSO: Indeed ? ALL: Let's continue to move to the dwellings... Be on guard all.
<CSO_Ray> XO: yes sir
<FCO_Harlok> ::Shudders and straightens to move out with the rest::
<OPS_Serok> :: continues towards the dwellings ::
<CSO_Ray> :: takes point::
<CNS_Ashworth> ::moves toward the dwellings while being aware of her surroundings::
<XO_Silek> :: stays at the rear ::
<FCO_Harlok> ::Sidles up to XO:: XO: Sir, should I range ahead and scout?
<I_Am> Action: The laughter begins again and is still coming from all around
<XO_Silek> FCO: Negative.. stay with the CSO at point... I do not want to separate the group.

<OPS_Serok> :: stops and looks around ::
<OPS_Serok> :: looks at the XO and then continues on towards the dwellings ::
<XO_Silek> ~~~ OPS: Do you any speculations ? ~~~
<FCO_Harlok> ::Stops at a rise and tries to see if anything is in the Village::
<CNS_Ashworth> ::looking around the village to see if she can find a clue on what is happening::
<OPS_Serok> ~~~ XO: the mode of transportation here leads me to believe that we are not really here, but in some sort of dream state~~~
<XO_Silek> :: nods :: ~~~OPS: A possibility... I agree ~~~
<XO_Silek> :: looks in the village for any sign of movement ::
<OPS_Serok> ~~~XO: And, as we can not wake at the moment, we shall have to play this senario out. ~~~
<OPS_Serok> :: looks around the town ::
<I_Am> Action: on the opposite side of town bell begins to clang and the smell of coal and steam waft through the village
<FCO_Harlok> ::Looks over the ancient Dwellings and groans:: XO: Sir, looks like a primitive place. I've seen something similar somewhere...
<OPS_Serok> :: looks toward the sound ::
<FCO_Harlok> ::Ducks low at the noise and looks at the Village::
<OPS_Serok> ALL: I believe the sound of the bell is coming from over there. :: points in the direction of the sound ::
<XO_Silek> ALL: I believe the reasonable place to go is towards the town bell... 
Proceed All.
<CNS_Ashworth> ::hears the bells start to ring and notices steam make its way in the town:: XO: Aye Sir.
<FCO_Harlok> ::Starts to head toward the Village::
<OPS_Serok> XO: should we not check to see if anyone is in any of the dwellings?
<FCO_Harlok> ::Peeks into windows and through doors as he passes:: XO: Nothing 
Commander... noone.
<XO_Silek> OPS: Negative... If someone is present I do not wish to intrude.
<CNS_Ashworth> XO: Somehow, I get the feeling that the inhabitants left for some reason or another.
<OPS_Serok> :: nods at the FCO ::
<OPS_Serok> :: whispers to the XO :: XO: I do not believe they were ever inhabited.
<XO_Silek> ALL: Proceed to the Town Bell.
<FCO_Harlok> ::Shivers and looks at OPS:: OPS: What? Why build a place like this then? Museum?
<I_Am> Action: The huff of steam escaping something gets louder as the crew moves further into the village
<OPS_Serok> FCO: Mister Harlok, I have a theory, but it is inconclusive at this time.
<FCO_Harlok> ::Shakes head and keeps moving toward the Town bell::
<OPS_Serok> :: move toward the noise, scanning ahead ::
<CNS_Ashworth> ::continues to make her way toward the town bell::
<XO_Silek> :: glances slightly inside the dwellings ::
<XO_Silek> :: looks at the train and admires at the mint condition :: Self: Fascinating
<CNS_Ashworth> XO: Sir, since this town resembles that from the 19th century, there ought to be signs of ancient locomotives somewhere
<FCO_Harlok> ::Stops and looks at the train:: All: Wow. Steam engine! ::Begins to move forward for closer look at the Locomotive::
<OPS_Serok> :: looks at the train and raises her eyebrow :: Self: Intriguing
<CNS_Ashworth> ::she no more than said that when she spots one and it is in 
excellent condition just like the town::
<OPS_Serok> :: Moves to the front of the train at the engine and looks in to see if there is an engineer ::
<XO_Silek> FCO: Mr. Harlok ? Is there anyone in the Locomotive ?
<FCO_Harlok> ::Grins and moves toward the Cars:: XO: I'll check. ::Climbs aboard::
<I_Am> Action: The Laughter is louder,and still no one is seen
<XO_Silek> CSO: Mr. Ray.. check the cars from the train please.
<CSO_Ray> XO: yes sir
<OPS_Serok> :: stands and looks around ::
<FCO_Harlok> ::Cringes at the Laughter and enters the first car:: All: HELLO?
<CSO_Ray> :: hops aboard, and looks around::
<XO_Silek> :: looks at Serok and Ashworth :: OPS/CNS:: Shall we ? :: points to the cars ::
<CNS_Ashworth> ::the laughter gets louder but still no sign to where it coming from::
<CSO_Ray> XO: no sir, all is empty
<FCO_Harlok> ::Sticks head out of window:: XO: Clear Sir! Noone.
<OPS_Serok> :: Nods at the CSO ::
<CNS_Ashworth> XO: I suppose ::goes where he does::
<I_Am> Action: Once everyone is onboard the train begins to move out of town
<OPS_Serok> :: gets a funny feeling ::
<FCO_Harlok> WHOA!! ::Steadies himself::
<CNS_Ashworth> ::this somehow seems vaguely familiar to her but she cannot place it::
<I_Am> Action: the train slowly picks up speed as it leaves town
<CSO_Ray> FCO: any idea where this thing ends?
<FCO_Harlok> ::Looks and looks around:: All: Okay, I'm officially creeped out!
<OPS_Serok> :: walks over and sits at a window and examines the scenery going by ::
<CNS_Ashworth> ::looks to the XO:: XO: maybe this wasn't a good idea
<XO_Silek> All: I believe we have a specific destination.. I am uncertain to where. I just assume something wants to see us.
<FCO_Harlok> ::Shruggs:: CSO: I don't even know where this all started Sir.
<I_Am> Action: the train begins to climb as mountain scenery appears
<OPS_Serok> XO: Sir, I believe "something" is seeing us.
<FCO_Harlok> ::Sighs and sits down and puts his feet up and watches the scenery go by:: Self: I have the WORST luck.
<OPS_Serok> :: closes her eyes and reaches out with her mind ::
<CSO_Ray> XO: seeing as how we are under something elses control, I must advise extreme caution
<XO_Silek> CSO: Agreed Mr. Ray.
<XO_Silek> :: feels his wife's attempt at telepathy ::
<I_Am> Action: The train reaches the mountain top and begins to descend the other side
<CNS_Ashworth> ::holds on to the seat in front of her as the descends downward::
<FCO_Harlok> ::fiddles with his beads broods:: self: I had a date with a lovely 
woman... but NO I had to be dragged here!!
<I_Am> Action: what appears to be a trestle crossing a river can be seen by the crew from any window in any car
<FCO_Harlok> CNS: Ma'am do you think some people could be Jinxed? Or cursed?
<CNS_Ashworth> ::heard the FCO complain:: FCO: I, too had something better planned so be quiet.
<CNS_Ashworth> FCO: It depends how you look at it.
<CSO_Ray> :: begins a passive radion scan in order to see if the trestle over there water will hold ::
<OPS_Serok> :: vaguely feels a presence :: XO:Commander, Something or someone is close, but I can't quite seem to grasp where.
<FCO_Harlok> ::Sighs deeply:: CNS: Aye Ma'am. ::Stares out the window::
<I_Am> Action: the train passes through a long dark tunnel
<XO_Silek> :: looks at the trestle and the tunnel :: OPS: I hope we will have an answer soon.
<OPS_Serok> XO: I can try again if you wish.
<XO_Silek> :: nods :: OPS: If you wish to try again.
<OPS_Serok> :: nods and closes her eyes and begins to reach out with he mind and 
send a message:: ~~~ "Who are you?"~~~
<CNS_Ashworth> ALL: I hope we find out what is happening and soon.
<FCO_Harlok> ::Watches Serok curiously to see if she gets anything::
<I_Am> Action: The train begins to pick up speed as it approaches the trestle
<XO_Silek> CNS: I agree with you Counselor.
<OPS_Serok> :: sweat begins to bead on her brow and trickles down her face ::
<CNS_Ashworth> XO: I'm ready for this train ride to end.
<I_Am> Action: the train crosses the trestle at break-neck speed
<FCO_Harlok> ::Nods at Serok:: CNS: Is she ok?
<OPS_Serok> :: even being jostled around, continues to concentrate ::
<I_Am> Action: the train cars rock violently back and forth as the train moves down the track towards a huge bend
<FCO_Harlok> ::Notices the speed of the train:: Self: WHOA!! We booking now!
<XO_Silek> :: hears the FCO's comment :: FCO/CNS: She is trying telepathy
<CNS_Ashworth> FCO: I think she is trying to make contact with whoever is doing this to us through telepathy. ::as she is being jostled around::
<OPS_Serok> :: begins to hold her hand out as in an attempt to bridge the distance between herself and the presence ::
<I_Am> Action:Serok passes out from the strain
<FCO_Harlok> ::Looks toward the Bend:: Self: WE'RE GOING TO CRASH!!
<OPS_Serok> :: slumps forward ::
<XO_Silek> :: rushes to his wife's side ::
<CNS_Ashworth> OPS: Suvok!!
<FCO_Harlok> ::Hangs on::
<CSO_Ray> ::he is thrown to the ground as the train rockets::
<I_Am> Action: as the trains rounds the bend it flies off the tracks
<CNS_Ashworth> ::holds on as the train heads towards the huge bend::
<FCO_Harlok> ::Braces himself to enter heaven::
<XO_Silek> :: attempts to protect his wife ::
<I_Am> Action: The train is airborne and out of control, and the laughter gets louder
<CSO_Ray> :: grabs onto a chair luckily ::
<FCO_Harlok> ::Scowls and looks around him:: ALL: OH REALLY FUNNY!! LAUGH IT UP LASER BRAIN!!
<CNS_Ashworth> ::as the train flies off the tracks, she tries to brace herself as best can, and she swears the laughter is even louder still::
<XO_Silek> :: looks in the general direction of the laughter :: Laughter: I believe the demonstration is QUITE sufficient.
<I_Am> Action: A voice(s) are heard by all: Your attention please. Please step back and let the DeCon team do it's job
<FCO_Harlok> ::Jaw drops::
<Avalon_DeCon> Please folks we apologize for the release of hypnotran
<Avalon_DeCon> Please stand back so that we can administer to these poor folks. I can't imagine what they were seeing
