Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Engage>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Aidep says:
::Seat himself near the center of the gathering area::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::arriving late because Trevin and Paige didn't want to change for the feast::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Standing in the area where the feast is going to begin. He is speaking to a variety of crewmembers::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::sets down the gathered supplies and rubs his lower back::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::finding a place to put down the cases of equipment, makes his way to the center of the village where the others are gathering::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Assembles with the other crew members to trade information.::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::sees the group and walks over::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
::Hands a bundle of PADDs to an EO and makes his way to the gathering, straightening his uniform as he approaches. ::

Host Aidep says:
::Watches as the crew begins to gather::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::finds an area where four people can sit, she gets the children settled then sits down::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Checks in with the med team and gives the seal of approval over their supplies.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He looks around, sensing the emotions of the others, still some stress but people are starting to settle down a bit::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::spots Chris in the midst of a group of crewmembers::  CNS: Things going all right Chris?

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
XO: Cmdr.  I believe the chief elder has just arrived.  We have been informed that he has the most knowledge on the history of these people.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He looks over at Mordane and smiles:: XO: Everything seems fine at present. People seem to be settling down a bit more.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
ACMO: Well, then please introduce me good doctor.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::over his shoulder::  CNS: Good to hear.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Interested he moves over to the XO and ACMO, wanting to hear what the Chief Elder has to say::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
XO: Real quick sir.  What is the status of the Ganymede and how long has it really been? 6 years or 12 hours?

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Sees the senior officers and approaches. ::  XO/CNS/ACMO: Good day, Ganymeders.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
ACMO: From Commander Ashworth's report, I understand that the temporal disturbance was only one of 12 hours.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CEO: Chief, you'd have a better idea of our status, how long until we're back up and running.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
CEO: Good day Lieutenant.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
ACMO: Of course the Captain and the Ganymede experienced 6 years.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
<Trevin>  ::picks up a small object of some sort and throws it in the XO direction::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
XO: Some sort of temporal time shift, I presume.  Something for the science folk to figure out.  Well shall we meet our host?

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
XO: Assuming that Starfleet doesn't come to rescue us beforehand, I figure I can get us back in orbit in a couple of weeks. Once we get the replicators back online, we'll be able to speed things up considerably.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
XO: If you don't mind Commander I would like to accompany you on this 'visit' to the Elder. I want to understand what is going on and 'if' he is telling us the truth.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: Of course Chris.  ::nods to the Doctor::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
XO: The biggest factor will be getting a source of dilithium -- we can attempt to use the crystals from the shuttle craft,  which may be enough to get us back to Starbase.

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
XO: Also, the Inertial Dampers were damaged and we'll have to spend some time getting those back online.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
CEO: But how far away is the nearest Starbase?

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CEO: If we have to, we'll just get us back into space and call for a tow.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Begins walking toward the feast table.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: Farther than we'd like I'm sure.  I'm not up on the star charts; you'd have to ask Ensign Hamanari for the specifics.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::follows the Doctor::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Approaches the Elder and awaits to be acknowledged before proceeding further.::

Host Aidep says:
::Watches the group approach::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He follows the Doctor and XO:: XO: True.

Host Aidep says:
::Nods and motions for the group to sit nearby::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
XO: We may be better off building a communications array and sending a request for help.

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Walks with XO, CNS, ACMO, and any one else who's going. ::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::steps up::  XO: I am running over the star charts and will have an answer soon.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Looks over at the CEO:: CEO: So the Ganymede is an Engineers dream isn't she? ::Smiles::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
<Trevin>  OPS:  I wanna go home!

Host Aidep says:
Action: Some of the village women begin to set bowls of various vegetables out for the group.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Aidep: Thank-you High Elder.  I am Dr Zek the one the head hunter told you of.  This is Cmdr Mordane and Lt Cmdr Smith.  We have some questions on your peoples history if you will oblige us the story.  ::Bows the way he was taught by the villagers.::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::begins calculating star maps on his tricorder::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::takes a seat and cringes at the Chief's suggestion::  CEO: Much as I hate to admit it, we may have to.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Takes a seat next to the XO and looks around, "Interesting" he thought"::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
CNS: Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather have nothing to do but I am enjoying rebuilding a Federation starship with what's available.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Trevin:  Quiet!  We have a lot to do, so we can go home, so let Mommy and her friends do that.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Smiles:: CEO: Yes I know you are.

Host Aidep says:
::Returns the bow, and smiles;; ACMO: Speak your thoughts.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: Several of the hunters bring in the "catches" and the villager stand and begin to chant a song of thanksgiving as the hunters bring the hunt in.::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Sits next to CNS ::  CNS: It's not too obvious, is it?

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::looks up from his tricorder and watches the exchange intently::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Chuckles:: CEO: It is to me, but that's because I am trained to figure this stuff out.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
<Trevin>  OPS: I want to be with Daddy!

Host Aidep says:
::Picks up a bowl in both hands and chants softly as the group finishes thier chant::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Tries to watch the villagers feast. ::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Stands as the villagers do.::  Aidep: Thank-you high elder.  We are most curious about the quakes and hunts.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
Trevin:  Daddy is busy, trying to find a way to get home as well.  Now calm down or I'll find a corner for you to stand in.

Host Aidep says:
ACMO: The shake comes when it is time.

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::runs chronotron dissipation data through his tricorder over and over again::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::listens to the discussion going on::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
<Trevin>  ::glares at his mother, meanwhile Paige is being calm as she is watching the events between her brother and mother::

Host Aidep says:
ACMO: It has come for all of my fathers, and his before him.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: The Villagers sit and await as the head of each family gets meat for his family while sipping on a juice like beverage and some vegetation sides.::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
XO: We could modify some of the communication probes to create a subspace array...   ::Looks for a PADD to sketch out his plans.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Watches the villager and listens, he whispers:: XO: Lieutenant Zek has a lot of spunk doesn't he? I never knew a young man to have so much.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Defers to the XO and CNS for further questions now that he has got them started.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::nods and says quietly::  CEO: Sounds like a plan.

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev: we could use some of the dorsal arrays.  They looked least damaged.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: Yes well, Zek is a little on the fringe...to be polite.

Host Aidep says:
XO: You are of Joey's people.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
Aidep: Yes I am.  As are most of the crew.

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
FCO/XO: Agreed. We can put some probes in orbit and use the Ganymede's array to send a signal out.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
XO: Looks like we are in for a long story.  Aidep: Elder, We would be honored to hear the story.  ::Nods toward the rest of the Ganymede crew.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He looks over at Aidep::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::listens to Zek, curious as to where he got his diplomacy skills, and takes mental notes::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she looks towards Aidep and nods::

Host Aidep says:
ALL : Generations ago, our ancestors came to this place the same way the game comes to us now

Host Aidep says:
::Gestures toward the valley:: ALL: Your......ship came to us in the same manner.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Thinks to himself "Makes sense"::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
Aidep: Have other vessels come through before us?

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Listens to the elder like a child at his parent's knee while enjoying the feast of food before him, taking a liking to the sweet juice beverage.::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Starts putting the pieces together.::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::listens to Aidep but also keeping an eye on Trevin::

Host Aidep says:
ALL: Our fathers tell us, we came from different places and we became the family you see now.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
Self: So they are of many different species...

Host Aidep says:
ALL: There are stories that we  had devices like yours. ::Points to the CEO's tricorder:: ALL: but they have all been forgotten.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Whispers to CEO:: CEO: Check and see if any of their DNA, body structure and such matches any known races, even if there is a slightest resemblance.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::wonders just how long ago their ancestors arrived as he takes notes on a PADD, looking for the common pieces that fit together::

Host Aidep says:
::Looks around the group and reaches for a handful of food::

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks at her children and to her amazement, they were sitting still, especially Trevin::

Host Aidep says:
::Picks up the bowl and passes it to Cmdr. Ashworth with a nod for her to take it::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::leans toward CEO:: CEO: You know I read once that something irradiated with chronitons and subjected to a bitemporal field could be sent back in time.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::takes the bowl and smiles a thank you::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
CNS: I'll see what I can do.  :: Attempts to scan villagers, without being too obvious, for DNA sequence matches. ::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
Aidep:  May I ask if you can remember any of the worlds that individuals said they came from?

Host Aidep says:
::Swallows his mouthful, and wipes his lips:: ALL: There are stories of a place where the light is very strong and comes more often.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He senses pride from the Elder, he is proud that his people have came together as one::

Host Aidep says:
FCO: There are strange names scratched in the walls of the mountain, It is told that they were remembered names.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::she slowly eats the food offered to her, and gets some for her children::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: Many of the village children come and sit at ground near the elder to listen to his story.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::as her children eat, she begins to wonder where Joey and her children are::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::interested in the development::  XO: Perhaps I can find or bearings if I saw some of the names and correlated them to our last known position.

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
FCO: Thank you, ensign. We may need to call upon your knowledge to get out of here. Have you been able to determine if we're in the right time, now? I mean, are we 12 hours out or did we pass through a temporal anomaly six years ago?

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
Aidep: Have you been able to tell what the names were?

Host Aidep says:
ALL: You will learn the stories of the elders.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
FCO: It's a certain possibility, when you get the chance, head out there and take a look at the names.

Host Aidep says:
CNS: They are there, but their meaning has long been forgotten.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
Aidep: Ah I see.

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::looks at the XO::  at your leave, I will go now and stop by the Ganymede to verify the readings on if we were displaced in time.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::nods to the FCO::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::gathers his pack and leaves for the cliff face::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Sees the chatter.:: ALL: Hush, take notes let the elder speak.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He eyes Zek for a moment as he tells everyone to hush::

Host Aidep says:
ALL: I can show you the names, and the places of the giving light.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
Aidep:  We would appreciate that, perhaps you could continue your tale on the journey?

Host Aidep says:
ALL: There is an old story, I was told as a child of a light that takes.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: A deep rumbling can be heard deep in the hills.

Host Aidep says:
XO: I can go when the new day begins.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
Aidep: Of course, I was unaware of the lengthening hour.

Host Aidep says:
::Stands slowly and listens::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He listens to the rumbling::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: A bright light is seen in the distance near the rumbling coming from the ground encompassing the darkening sky with white light.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Braces himself for another trembler.:: Self: Oh no not another one.

Host Aidep says:
ALL:  It begins again. ::Shouts to the hunters ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::He watches, interestingly::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
Aidep: Do these things occur this often normally?

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
@::feels a tremor and stops while checking his tricorder::

Host Aidep says:
XO: Some yes some no, This is indeed good fortune.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: The FCO falls to the ground with a thud while his tricorder sails several feet in front of him.

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
@::feels dazed as he finds himself on the ground::

Host Aidep says:
:: Takes  bow from one of the hunters and scrambles toward the sound::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
XO: Should we follow?

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: The FCO tries to get up then falls again dizzy and now feeling pain in his right elbow.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
XO: I would suggest only a few people go, not everyone.

Host Aidep says:
::Starts to run ahead as the sky begins to flash::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action; The rumbling stops but the light remains.  It is almost like the Biblical star of light.

Host Aidep says:
::Shouts to the Hunters again::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::follows after Aidep and the others, wondering in the corner of his mind where Ensign Hamanari is::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Gets up and follows thinking "Always happens"::

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Jumps up and follows everyone, tricorder out, scanning for life signs so he doesn't run into anyone. ::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: The Elder and the XO pass up the fallen FCO.

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
*ACMO*:Lt. Appears that I took a nasty fall from that last tremor.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
*FCO*: You should not have gone out on your own Ensign.  You are close by I can tell.

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::gathers up her children and joins the group in checking on the goings on::

Host Aidep says:
Action: Cmdr. Mordane skids to a stop as the sky flashes and a small antelope of some type appears almost on top of him.

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::gets up and tries to get his bearings::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Stops suddenly as the XO does:: XO: What is it?

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action; The bright light changes to a steady glow in the dusk sky.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::eyes wide as he's startled by the appearance of the animal::

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: The animal just as startled bounds away.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: This could be rather more hazardous than I thought.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
FCO: Ah there you are ensign.  Let's have a looksy.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
XO: Everything is always more hazardous then we think. It is just life and we will do our best.

Host Aidep says:
::Draws his bow and while taking aim the sky flashes one last time directly above Aidep.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: Did I ever tell you how you sound like an inspirational page a day calendar Chris?

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::holds his elbow and moves it slightly::

Host Aidep says:
Action: When the group can see again Aidep is nowhere to be seen.

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
::Chuckles:: XO: That I have never heard before Commander.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
::Looks at the FCO's elbow.:: FCO:  Looks fractured.  ::Tears a part of his uniform to create a makeshift sling.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::something in the back of his mind nags at him as he thinks back to the animal in front of him...something familiar::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: Chris...I'm pretty certain that that animal was from Earth, I recall seeing one in a text.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
Action: The group makes it to the place of "Light" and look around trying to take it all in.

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
:: Scans area for Aidep. ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
XO: Really? ::He looks around curiously:: XO: Any idea what type?

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
ACMO_Lt_Zek: Thanks.

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: African mini-antelope....I think...::wonders how he pulled that kind of detail out of his head::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
XO: It would make sense. This thing seems to be able to go anywhere, which is not exactly a good thing.

Host ACMO_Lt_Zek says:
FCO: Let's go take a look at that light thing.  ::Helps him along the way.::

FCO_Ens_Hamanari says:
::Goes with the ACMO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: Where'd Aidep go?

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::remains with the main group::

CNS_LtCmdr_Smith says:
XO: No clue. I cannot sense him nor see him. ::He looks over at the CEO:: CEO: Any idea where Aidep is?

CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
CNS: Scanning..

Host Aidep says:
Action: The hunters begin to realize that Aidep is gone.
