Host CO_Kalla says:
::In CO chair on the bridge.::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Sitting at his console just punching away at the blinky lights [TM]::

CMO_Mercz says:
::In Sickbay working with some of the Medical officers on some tests::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Stands behind the captain's chair on the bridge, typing on a PADD::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: I think our main aim at present should be to find out about the planet. Go down with a team and see what you can find out.

TO_AlThor says:
::At tactical scanning the Sunrise and the planet for any dangers::

CEO_Rogers says:
::In engineering doing scans over the ship, Sunrise and other relevant things::

FCO_Durron says:
::Sitting at the conn::

CSO_Sketek says:
All: TO, CEO, FCO, CIV, you're with me. We'll assemble in TR1.

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: I agree we should not repeat our mistakes. Besides I doubt if the Sunrise could yield anything useful.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Perks up at hearing that and files towards the Turbolift::

TO_AlThor says:
::Moves to the TL::

CEO_Rogers says:
*CSO* Alright. ::Stops what she's doing and grabs an engineering kit, and heads for the TL:: TL: Transporter room 1

FCO_Durron says:
::Stands up and hands over the conn to a JR. officer than heads for the TL::

CSO_Sketek says:
OPS: I'm feeding the beam down coordinates to your console. It looks like there's a capital city or some other center there that looks like worth visiting.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Goes to TL::

OPS_Rogers says:
CSO: Ok. ::Gets the coordinates:: Got them.

EO_Briaire says:
::In main engineering, checking the engineering systems as the CEO is going for an away mission::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Sends the usual supplies down to the TR like cameras, tricorders, phasers, etc...::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Steps off the TL, and heads for TR1::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The planet orbits in silence, unwilling to give up its secrets

CSO_Sketek says:
::Arrives in the TR1::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*EO* See if you can trace any unknown or unusual technology on the Sunrise.

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Set up communications with the AT.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Enters TR1::

TO_AlThor says:
::Enters TR1::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Walks into TR1, picking up his standard trademark duffel bag with his various engineering tools, extra PADDS, a phaser, tricorder, med kit, and other small gadgets::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Ok... ::Wondering what could be so different since things seem normal so far::

OPS_Rogers says:
*CSO* Let me know when you're ready.

TO_AlThor says:
::Gathers his equipment::

EO_Briaire says:
::Stops for a moment::  *CO*: Aye Captain....will do...

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CMO* Please come to the bridge to assist with the SCI station.

CSO_Sketek says:
*OPS*: We're ready. Energize.

CMO_Mercz says:
*CO* Yes, Sir

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: I don't assume the AT will require atmospheric suits.

EO_Briaire says:
::Activates one of the search programs and begins scanning the Sunrise::

OPS_Rogers says:
*CSO* Check. ::Energizes transporters::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Takes position on Transporter pad::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: The planet is just like earths climate.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action; The Away team shimmers and rematerializes in an ancient city, filled with stone pillars covered with hieroglyphics

CMO_Mercz says:
MO_Caites: You’re in charge of sickbay

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Excellent.

CMO_Mercz says:
<Mo_Caites> CMO: Yes sir

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Looks around in awe:: self: amazing....

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Glances around, taking in the sights::

CSO_Sketek says:
@All: Everyone stay sharp and try to get all the data you possibly can get.

TO_AlThor says:
@::Scans the area for any danger::

CMO_Mercz says:
::Exits SB and enters TL::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS Any chance of a video link?

CMO_Mercz says:
TL: Bridge

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Pulls out her tricorder and does the routine scans::

FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks around::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: I'll check, captain. Hopefully they put on their cameras.

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Scanning the planet for life forms::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Let us hope so.

CMO_Mercz says:
::Steps on the bridge and heads towards the SCI station::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The city roads all seem to lead to a center temple like structure

OPS_Rogers says:
::Checks for signals from the cameras::

Host CO_Kalla says:
COMM: CSO: Checking the connection. Do you read me?

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Walks up to some Hieroglyphics and puts them into his tricorder and attempts translation::

CSO_Sketek says:
COMM: CO: I read you. Beam down successful.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CMO: Welcome. As you can see we are a bit short-staffed.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Scans for any kind of technology, primitive or modern::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Starts walking to temple::

TO_AlThor says:
@::Follows the CSO::

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Follows the CSO::

FCO_Durron says:
@::Follows the CSO::

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: Understood. ::Looks around the bridge::

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Notices the group leaving and takes off after them, still letting the tricorder process and attempt translation::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Uses sensors to get an overhead view of the AT::

EO_Briaire says:
::Frowns at the scan results::  *CO*: Captain... all scans of the Sunrise are negative... there's no alien technology aboard that vessel, my best guess would be it was already removed before we came here...

CSO_Sketek says:
@CEO: I'm detecting powerful energy remains from some battle. What do you make of this?

Host CO_Kalla says:
*EO* Thank you Mr Briaire. It was worth a try.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Looks over the CSO's scans:: CSO: I'm not quite sure....

OPS_Rogers says:
::Attempts to pull up a view of the sunrise on his console::

CSO_Sketek says:
@CEO: Feel free to investigate further and theorize.

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Finding nothing, he taps around on the tricorder, tying into the Andy computer and runs it again::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Walks into the temple structure::

CSO_Sketek says:
@TO: Scan for possible security threats.

TO_AlThor says:
@CSO: Aye, sir. ::Scans for possible threats in the area::

CEO_Rogers says:
@CSO: Alright. ::Continues to figure out the energy remains, looking at the sights as she does so::

EO_Briaire says:
*CO*: Understood, Ma'am.... I'll try to analyze the vicinity of the planet and the ship's position...maybe I can detect some transporter signatures, if they beamed it down to a underground base on the surface, with some advanced recovery programs....

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Steps into the temple and scans the room::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The CSO enters the temple....the temple is covered with symbols and some sort of device in the center

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Takes a look at the symbols but walks near the device in the center::

TO_AlThor says:
@::Readies a phaser just in case::

FCO_Durron says:
@::Does not enter the temple but scans the surrounding area::

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Looks down at the tricorder, the Andy and tricorder are still processing for a translation, in the mean time, scans some more symbols to run through::

CEO_Rogers says:
@CSO: Looks like the may have been somehow generated by life forms while they we in combat.... ::Looks at the device:: I wonder what it could be...

TO_AlThor says:
@CSO: Nothing threatening so far.

CEO_Rogers says:
@CSO: looks like 2 races were involved....one of them was definitely Wraith.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Gets up to stretch her legs.:: OPS: So, this is a fascinating affair.

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Walks towards the device in the center, setting the tricorder to alert him when the translation is finished, if it's able, and scans the device.::

CSO_Sketek says:
@CEO: Try to see if there are any wraiths here at the moment.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Okay. ::Scans for any signs of the Wraith around their area::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Yep. Full of excitement... I just don't want the sunrise to decide to come online and attack us.

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: I think that ship is quite dead.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: I don't know. My time on this ship has proved that anything is possible.

CSO_Sketek says:
@CIV: Have you found anything so far?

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: Remember, we are not in our universe, we don't know what could happen.

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: A certain amount of caution does seem wise, I agree.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Scans the surrounding buildings::

CIV_Deimon says:
@CSO: I think I've found something, this device here... it seems to activate some kind of wormhole portal like... thing, for lack of a better word. ::The tricorder beeps:: Oh, and I now have a translation for these symbols.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: On the center of the device there is a hand shaped imprint, which is roughly the size of a human hand.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Yawns:: CO/CMO: I'm thinking about getting a coffee, either of you want something?

CSO_Sketek says:
@CIV: Any chance of finding user-friendly manual for the device?

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Is still scanning for signs of the Wraith, but hasn't found any yet::

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Walks up close to the device and looks down on it::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: A glass of water, 5 degrees please.

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: I'm fine the way I am. I drank to much coffee already staying up running test.

CIV_Deimon says:
@CSO: Maybe, I'll take a look around the room for anything that looks like a user guide... But I think this it the on button. ::Points at the hand print::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Fits his hand into the imprint::

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Gulps::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO/CMO: Ok. ::Walks over to the replicator:: Replicator: Coffee, hot. Cream and lots of sugar. Water, 5 degrees.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Watches the CSO, hoping nothing drastic will happen::

TO_AlThor says:
@::Stands by watching for danger::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: Nothing happens as the CSO puts his hand on it , it appears to function though on human DNA

OPS_Rogers says:
::Gets the stuff out of the replicator and takes the water to CO and sits down with his coffee::

CSO_Sketek says:
@CEO: Try to see if I triggered anything.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Scans the surrounding area for anything out of the ordinary::

CIV_Deimon says:
@Self: Whew...

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Nods, and scans the device to see if anything happened::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO* How are things on the planet?

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Begins to look around for a user manual of some kind on the wall, or any books that happen to be lying around would be nice also::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Thank you. ::Drinks half the water as she sits down in her seat.::

CSO_Sketek says:
COMM: CO: We've found a city with a temple in the center. There is a mysterious device, which we are investigating.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: No problem. ::Sips his coffee and sets it on top of his console::

CEO_Rogers says:
@CSO: It seems to work for humans - I take the race who built this thing visited Earth at some point.... and since you’re not human....

CSO_Sketek says:
@CEO: Will you volunteer to try?

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Seems a bit startled, but nods:: okay...::Goes up to the device::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The walls depict a highly advanced culture in the arts, sciences and law on the wall before a "Great War"

CIV_Deimon says:
All: That gives me an idea, if these people visited Earth, they had to go to our universe, so maybe this thing creates portals to our universe... if it was left on or became unstable, it could have created the anomaly that brought us here... and it could send us home if we "reverse the polarity" you might say.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Places her hand in place::

CSO_Sketek says:
CIV: That is possible but we don't know that yet. Try to examine and explore the devices and the writings.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO* Any chance that that device can get us back?

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The device hums to life...a portal shimmers into existence.

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: I'm detecting some type of anomaly forming in the temple.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO* What is happening? We are getting some unusual readings up here.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Stares at the portal:: Self: as the 20th century youths used to say...cool

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Try and get a lock on the AT. Just in case...

CSO_Sketek says:
*CO* Looks like we opened a portal of some kind.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Ok. ::Attempts to lock onto the AT::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The portal hovers one foot above the ground, it is 2 dimensional and can only be seen from one side.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO* Any chance of seeing the other side?

FCO_Durron says:
::Scans the portal::

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Begins to scan the walls for some kind of clue as to how this works::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS, CMO: What is our chance of sending a probe into that portal?

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: I'll check. ::Scans the portal to see if it's even big enough for a probe::

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: ::Remembers back to the 2Oth century:: Only if we had a robot with a Camera to send in.

CEO_Rogers says:
@All: I'm just going test it and see if it'll still work without my hand on it...::Lifts her hand away from it's resting place::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Walks to the portal but doesn't go in::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The portal remains in existence, it is large enough for a person to walk through

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Looks around:: All: Any volunteers....

CSO_Sketek says:
@CIV: I'll go.

CEO_Rogers says:
@CIV: I would suggest sending a probe or something else through first, we don't want to lose anyone...

CIV_Deimon says:
@CSO:I was joking, besides, the commander of the team shouldn't go.

CSO_Sketek says:
@*OPS*: I need you to upload all the gathered stellar maps into my tricorder.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Drinks down the rest of his coffee as he watches the screen::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO* What is your situation?

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: I believe it would be possible, but I recommend the away team stay back.

CIV_Deimon says:
@CSO: If anyone goes, I go, I'm the least important team member here, but I was thinking along the lines of a probe or something.

OPS_Rogers says:
*CSO* Ok. Hold on a second.

CSO_Sketek says:
@CIV: I am still the science officer.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Pulls up the scans and uploads them down to the tricorder::

CIV_Deimon says:
@CSO: You’re not going through there alone if you go at all. We're all science officers in the end.

CSO_Sketek says:
@CIV: Ok, I'll take the TO with me.

CIV_Deimon says:
@CSO: And like a captain to a ship, you’re the leader of this team, a secondary crewman should be sent in.

FCO_Durron says:
@All: Why should anyone go first? Couldn't we just set a tricorder to transmit to the Andromeda and throw it through?

TO_AlThor says:
@CSO: Whenever you want to but I go first.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO* Report, Lt!

CIV_Deimon says:
@CSO: Durron... all them are right, let's wait and send something besides a living person through first.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: After sophisticated analysis, the OPS officer is able to translate the star maps on the wall and an interdimensional map which shows the location of this dimension relative to the Earth dimension and other dimensions....this is a Library....and a mode of transport.

CSO_Sketek says:
@AT: We have no idea how far that portal takes us. Tricorders aren't designed to transmit information in interstellar distances. The only way to really find out is to go there.

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: Should I send a probe?

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: On the Portal is inscribed in English "Leap of Faith"

OPS_Rogers says:
::Looks at the tricorder readings on the screen thingy on his console:: CO: Interesting.

FCO_Durron says:
@CSO: Perhaps we could have it transmit to a tricorder on this end of the portal?

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Are the maps informative?

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: There are star maps on the wall. It's just like a library and it shows how to get back to our universe.

CIV_Deimon says:
@CSO: Consider that whoever goes through might not come back, you are the leader of this team and second officer, let's at least give something else a try before we send anyone through.

CSO_Sketek says:
@TO: Let's go.

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: Should I send a probe.

CSO_Sketek says:
@CIV: Your opinion is noted.

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Fascinating. I wonder if it is possible to get a whole starship through.

TO_AlThor says:
@CSO: Right

FCO_Durron says:
@CSO: If anyone on this AT should go it should be me.

TO_AlThor says:
@CSO: Shall I enter it?

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Mumbles something about that always meaning "your opinion is ignored"::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Steps in to the portal with TO::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Maybe the controls on that device could be used to magnify the size of the portal.

CIV_Deimon says:
@Wait!!! ::Reaches towards the portal::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO* Lieutenant Sketek, have you found out how to operate the portal?

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Let us hope so.

CIV_Deimon says:
@*CO* Lt. Sketek just stepped through the portal...

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Maybe it needs a larger power source... Maybe power from the warp core or something.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Prepare a probe, but hold it.

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Let us see.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The language regarding any further operation of the portal is completely alien and indecipherable

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: the TO and the CSO vanish

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Frowns.:: *CIV* Report to me when he returns.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Scans the portal to try and find some further information on it::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CMO: It seems that a probe has proved unnecessary.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Looks at his scans:: CO: I can't see them...

CIV_Deimon says:
@*CO*Al'Thor went with him, I just hope they come back...

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The CSO and TO appear on a paradise world populated by beautiful energy beings

TO_AlThor says:
%::Scans the area::

CSO_Sketek says:
%::Looks around and looks at the creatures::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Keep searching as far as our scanners can go.

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: I guessed that

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Taps comm badge:: *CSO* Sketek, are you on the other side, respond.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Ok... ::Goes off to LRS to see if any trace of them is found::

Host Law says:
Action: An energy being floats up to the CSO "Greetings, I am Law, leader of the Lumina"

Host CO_Kalla says:
*AT* What do you make of the controls for the portal?

CSO_Sketek says:
%Law: Peace and long life. I am Sketek, second officer of USS Andromeda from the United Federation of Planets.

CIV_Deimon says:
@*CO*So far all we have found is an on button, the words 'Leap of Faith' are inscribed here... I believe it may be random, or involve some kind of mind control. There is a round symbol wheel here as well... perhaps that could mean something.

CIV_Deimon says:
@CEO: Lt, take a look around for any other controls.

CEO_Rogers says:
@COMM: CO: The portal seems to be controlled by human DNA captain, it was activated when I placed my hand in what appears to be a hand imprint - but not when the CSO placed his in it...we're still investigating the controls further though.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CIV* Upload an image of the wheel to CMO at SCI1 and see if we can do anything up here.

 Host Law says:
CSO: Welcome to the planet Lumina, we had hoped people from your dimension would visit us one day, you are Vulcan, our apologies for not designing the Gateway to react to Vulcans.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CEO* Any technology that is remotely familiar down there?

FCO_Durron says:
@::Scans the interior of the temple::

CSO_Sketek says:
%Law: We come in peace and actually we come in by an accident.

CEO_Rogers says:
@COMM: CO: Not so far I'm afraid.

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Begins to search over the device for other controls... then backs up, holding up the tricorder to focus, and uploads a picture of this wheel::

CEO_Rogers says:
@CIV: Okay...::Scans for other controls to the portal::

Host Law says:
%CSO: Accident? Hmm by accident, you mean you don't have a means home?

CMO_Mercz says:
@*CIV* I've received the image.

CIV_Deimon says:
@*CMO* Understood.

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: I'll try running it through the universal translator and a few other databases.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Wondering if anyone else is going to go through that thing::

CSO_Sketek says:
%Law: We encountered an anomaly that threw us in antimatter universe. Somehow we must find a way to take our ship or at least the crew back.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CMO: Excellent.

CEO_Rogers says:
@CIV: looks like the destination of the portal is on the other side of this universe

CMO_Mercz says:
::Taps SCI1 console to indicate the universal translator::

CEO_Rogers says:
@CIV: Literally

FCO_Durron says:
@::Scans the portal::

CIV_Deimon says:
@CEO: Then if someone else went through they would arrive there?

Host Law says:
%CSO: Unfortunately we are currently at War with the Wraiths.  We were once very much like you, corporeal.  When we evolved to energy the Wraiths sought to use this new power to dominate, thus we fought for Law and they for chaos.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CEO* Thank you.

CEO_Rogers says:
@CIV: I would assume so...

Host CO_Kalla says:
*AT* Note that no more people are to go through the portal unless directly ordered to do so.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Does a few more scans to see if it's possible to change the destination of the portal::

CSO_Sketek says:
%Law: I sympathize with your cause.

CEO_Rogers says:
@*CO* Aye ma'am

CSO_Sketek says:
%Law: Is your technology able to transport our ship back to our universe?

OPS_Rogers says:
*CEO* If that portal had a larger energy source would it be able to make it big enough for a ship to go through?

CEO_Rogers says:
@*CO* I discovered that the portal leads to the other side of this universe - not our own.

CIV_Deimon says:
@Self: I wonder... ::Holds up tricorder and begins to record a message:: CSO: If you get this, we have already begun to make discoveries, you are on the opposite edge of this universe, we also are beginning to possibly understand how this thing targets, if possible, please responds, Deimon out.

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Throws his tricorder through the portal::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Analyzes what he can of the instructions on how to use the portal::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CEO* Good find. Thank you, we will just have to hope that our missing officers won't have to walk back then. ::Wry smile.::

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: I have a theory about the wheel.

Host Law says:
%CSO: It would take some time for our scientists to aid you, right now however they are committed to counter the Wraiths' dimensional drive, the Wraiths plan to invade your dimension since we have stopped them here.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CMO: Yes...

EO_Briaire says:
::Impatiently walking through engineering, trying to figure out what to do::

CEO_Rogers says:
@*CO* Indeed, CEO out

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Continues scanning the device to find out how to change the destination - if possible::

CSO_Sketek says:
%Law: Very well. We must seek a way back home elsewhere then.

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: Well, I was thinking about ships that sailed along the water like in 13th century earth, a wheel was used for navigation so maybe some how that image is trying to tell something about changing the destination of the portal.

Host Law says:
CSO: We ask your help in fighting the Wraiths, if you recover the drive we will help you alter it to get home.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Is still scanning the portal and is slowly walking around it::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CMO: Interesting theory. So this portal then tracks the planets movements?

CSO_Sketek says:
%Law: I know the interdimensional drive is our only chance so that sounds reasonable.

Host Law says:
CSO: Remember, our Intelligence reports that the Wraiths plan to invade your universe and destroy your Federation using the Sunrise as a trap.

CSO_Sketek says:
%Law: I see. So there are greater things involved...

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: That’s not what I mean. I mean somehow there is something navigation the portal, and that symbol is telling where it is.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CMO: Well, maybe that is worth checking against the symbols.

Host Law says:
Action: The tricorder hits the portal and bounces back

OPS_Rogers says:
::Sits back in his chair and continues to watch the screen::

CIV_Deimon says:
@::Catches the tricorder:: Self: Oh boy...

Host Law says:
Pause "Journey into Mystery Part 2"
