Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Prometheus Interphase" 10401.18

Host ACTD John Sea says:
<Summary> During last mission, our heroes had vanquished the monster on the bridge and his minions and were trying to recover the warp core and free the guardian

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::In ME, approaching the CNS::  CNS: Hello Tal, how are repairs coming?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Removing junk at the bridge::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Finishing tallying losses in the battle::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Not that good, we need the warpcore back to be able to get everything working again. The doppelganger used all the power that was in the batteries

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Action: Damage control is cleaning up a rather battle scared and ruined bridge, the walls have lines of phaser fire with angry scorched carbonized marks in zig zag patterns

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: It brings grateful memories to be back in ME working...  As you know I used to be an Engineer under Trial Martin

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::sweeping on the bridge::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Well, there's no time to loose...  I'll try to recover the warp core.  Keep up the good work

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*Senior officers* This is the Captain speaking. Everyone report your location and status.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Indeed, I remember. But now lets see how the Warpcore is doing

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Stays close to his console in case something happens to the away team::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Repair are going well sir but we really need to install the Core do finish all our reparations

Host EO Gears says:
::empties dust pan into replicator which converts the debris to energy and then a new part of the railing::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CNS* I understand. Reinstalling the core is your top priority duty.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Aye sir, may I ask where the Core was last reported?

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Most of the wounded have been taken either or are currently being taken to sick bay or, in less severe cases, to rest in their quarters.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CNS* It is on a stable orbit around the planet. We should still have enough sensors so that we can easily track it.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Tal, if you want, you can tractor it back in place and I'll ignite the Matter-Antimatter reaction.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Take a shuttle down to the planet and free the Lumina guardian.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Thank you sir, Jordaïn out  CSO: Good idea, but we can't make a mistake 

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: You might take security officers with you if you consider it necessary.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: After we found out what there is to be guarded down there, I do consider an escort necessary.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Leaves an ensign in command of the ship's security::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: I'll apply a small dampening inertial field to help you steer the core back in place.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Orders two security officers to meet him in shuttlebay and walks to a turbolift::

Host EO Gears says:
::tosses the CO's destroyed chair into the industrial size replicator he brought with him which converts the seat into a brand new one in a whirl of energy::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Very good, lets get on with it then

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: We'll need power for that.  I bet that a shuttle core is sufficient to give us the energy we need

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Good lets try it

Host EO Gears says:
::aligns the new seat with the new fixtures and assembles it::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Arrives at the shuttle bay, meets the security officers and boards a shuttle::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: I'll go shuttle bay and connect power to the distribution line.  Make sure that the power relays are connected to the tractor beam. Use all the EO's you like.  See ya

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Takes a few samples of the alien tissue to a container before he cleans all the alien mess::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::starts the pre-sequence for retractoring the Warpcore:: CSO: Ok, Good luck

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Pilots the shuttle himself, heads for the ancient Lumina prison on the planet's surface::

Host EO Gears says:
::inserts some new isolinear chips into main bridge processor and restores regular lighting to the bridge and air conditioning, filtering out the enormous amounts of accumulated dust::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Enters the planet's atmosphere and eventually lands the shuttle close to the cave's entrance::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::leaves ME towards the Shuttle bay::

Host EO Gears says:
Action: From the shuttle view, the Andromeda looks very dark with little pinpoints of light here and there

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Exits the shuttle, signals the security officers to follow and enters the cave::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters shuttle bay carrying lots of cables and power coupling devices:: 

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The CTO enters the cave, the library of the prison is on the left and the hallway continues on the right

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::checks the power couplings and conduits before transferring power::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
*CNS* Tal, I'm on shuttle bay.  I'm hooking a shuttle core to a secondary power node. It's just for you to know where to get your power from.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Ignores the library for now and slowly moves deeper into the cave::

Host EO Gears says:
::activates fans and restores Sci1 and Sci2::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Uses his tricorder to keep track of any nearby movement::

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The CTO comes to a stairwell which descends into the darkness, and level 2

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::opens panel, hooks cables, and check power relay for energy bursts::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CSO* Thanks Rie, standing by ::makes the connections::

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The CSO successfully attaches his power relay to the shuttle core

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Turns his wristlight on and continues to search the Lumina guardian::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::enter the shuttle and stars it's ignition::  *CNS* I'm starting the shuttle now.  All power from it's core should be transferred to you...  now ::presses button::

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The CTO is on level 2 and in total darkness, he can hear the steady drip of water.........the wrist light cut through the darkness, the path continues straight on Level 2 or the stairs continue to level 3

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::sees all kind of light go on:: *CSO* Getting many good lights here Rie. It is working, starting tractoring sequence.

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The Power from the shuttle begins to flow into the tractor control which shows power at 10 percent

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Orders one of the security officers to log their route on his tricorder, then descends to level 3::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Walks to the science console as the bridge is getting back to the shape::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
*CNS* How is it coming?  Do you have enough power to get our core back?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Scans the entire system for any changes or new anomalies::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CSO* Power level shows 10 percent, I don't think it would be enough but we could try

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The CTO continues to level three, the lowest level, random drippings of water trickle down from the ceiling, several cells on this level seem to have held their prisoners still, the main cell of the doppleganger is to the north

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
*CNS* Only 10% ? Oh, well, there's only one way to see of its sufficient...

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::leaves shuttle bay and goes to ME::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::tracks the core with the sensors until it is in range for the tractor beam::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Looks around and notices that he can't get any deeper::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Systematically starts mapping the third level, starting from the Doppelganger's cell::

Host EO Gears says:
Action: There is Lumina writing on the ceiling and above each cell

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
Self: Nothing new.

Host EO Gears says:
View: There is a bright white light coming from beneath the Doppleganger's cell door

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Makes sure that the security officers are right behind him, then proceeds to investigate the light::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CSO* What's the status of the warp core?

Host EO Gears says:
Sound: A creature seems to be straining against chains, which echo against a stone floor

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters ME and walks to the CNS:: CNS: any good news?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
self: Just a little bit more.. CSO: I'm waiting until it is close enough to tractor

Host EO Gears says:
Sight: The CTO comes to the Doppleganger's cell door which is sealed with glowing red runes, there is no way to see into the cell

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Stops and scans the area where the sound appears to be coming from::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Oh, I see. Let's hope I gave enough power.  Meanwhile I'll get things ready for the core.

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The warp core drifts close to the Andromeda against it background of the planet in a low orbit about 10,000 feet away

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* We’re still trying to tractor it.  Commander Jordaïn will keep you posted, Sir.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Very well, cross fingers

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::sees the core come close and pushes the button witch reads "Tractor"::

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The Andromeda's tractor attaches itself to the warp core, and slowly begins to pull the core home

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Takes a closer look at the glowing runes::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
self: yes, it is working...

Host EO Gears says:
Sight: The Runes do not appear to be Lumina in origin, they appear to be Wraith

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::gives instructions to an EO crew to get power couplings ready as well as and Dilithium crystals::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Recalls his first encounter with the Wraiths, hopes that the security officers weren't present then::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks at a monitor:: CNS: That's great, Tal, you're doing it!

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: I know, lets hope that it hold until it is installed

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Yells into the cell:: Cell: Is someone in there?

Host EO Gears says:
Action: The Tractor beam brings the core back up into main engineering through the ejection opening, and safely places the core down before a sickening wrenching sound is heard and the tractor beam control burns out in a smell of burnt circuits, what a mess

Host Liege says:
CTO: Illuminiati....que est?  ::from behind the door::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Great work, it's back in place!  EO_crew: let's start on those repairs

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::sees the core settle down in ME and smells the burning chips:: CSO: What a stench....

CTO Commander Senek says:
Liege: I am Commander Senek from the USS Andromeda. Do you understand me?

Host Liege says:
CTO: hwo knoestis qual?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Sir, the Core is back in ME and is being installed as we speak

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CNS* Excellent.

Host Liege says:
Action: The warp core begins to charge the main batteries and the impulse engines ignite furnishing power to the ship slowly but steadily, the bow of the Andromeda rights itself from its drifting orbit

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* Senek here. I have found a being who is trapped in a cell with some sort of Wraith.. technology.

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* I have a problem, though. The being speaks a language I don't understand.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::checks the status of the Dilithium Crystals::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* Don't you have universal translator with you?

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* It doesn't appear to be working, perhaps this language is completely new to it.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
Self: at least the crystals are fine...  EO_crew: start the energy connections.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* I see. We can do very little to help with that.

Host Liege says:
Noise: More struggling with chains from behind the door

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* Don't we have any linguists onboard, who could perhaps adapt to a completely new kind of language better than a translation program?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Can you please check to integrity of the confinements? We don't want antimatter coming out of the core...  I have to go to shuttle bay to pull the plug on the connection we made before we loose a shuttle too.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* That is very unlikely. The universal translator adapts a lot quicker.

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* I see.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: No problem, working on it right now ::starts checking::

Host Liege says:
Action: The CSO and the CNS have successfully restored main power, the core seems to be contently generating power and seems happy to be home

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* Is the translator able to translate either Lumina or Wraith writing?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::leaves ME, enters shuttlebay and puts the shuttle core offline::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* I know Lumina writing.

CTO Commander Senek says:
Liege: If you understand me, answer my questions with one thump for 'yes' and two thumps for 'no'. Do you understand me?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Sir, main power has been restored

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::takes cables and relays and heads back to ME::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CNS* Understood. Keep working on restoring other systems, especially propulsion and navigation.

Host Liege says:
CTO: em incindiary lest!

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Takes a picture of the runes on he door and uploads it to the Andromeda:: *CO* But what about Wraith runes like these?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Aye Sir  *CSO* Lets get all the other systems back online

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: I'll start repairing the tractor beam, it should be easy enough

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: I'll start on the Navigation

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* I am not familiar with Wraith runes. I will beam down there myself.
*CSO* I will beam down to the planet. Meanwhile you are in the command of the ship.

Host Liege says:
Action: The Wraith Runic picture appears on the Main Viewer, a foul language from a foul race

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Beams himself down to the AT's location::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Notices the CO materialize beside him::

Host Liege says:
Action: The CO appears next to the CTO using the CTO's co ordinates

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Materializes and looks around::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the CNS::  Self: right, the operation amplifier burned out trying to pull the core with just 10% power...  ::replaces power circuits on the tractor beam::

Host Liege says:
Scene: The CO and the CTO are outside a prison cell, which is sealed with glowing red runes and a light coming from behind the door

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Looks at the being::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Understood, Captain.  Be safe, Sir.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Well it seems that you are the man of this vessel for the moment.

Host Liege says:
Scene: The being itself is behind the stone door, it is generating a pure white light but since there are no windows, it cannot be seen just heard

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: I can't see the being.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Tries to say a few words in the Lumina language he has never spoken before::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: It is bound to something, it can be heard trying to break free from time to time::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Right you are.  I better go to the bridge, just in case.  I'll keep you posted.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::leaves ME and enter TL::  Computer: Deck 1.

Host Liege says:
CO: Lumminati ques est (Are you Lumina?)

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Got it, I'll update everytime after a repair

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::leaves ME and enter TL::  Computer: Deck 1.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Tries to answer in Lumina:: Liege: No, but I have met friendly Luminas.

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Do you understand that? What is it saying?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: My Lumina is very poor but I think he just asked if I am Lumina.

Host Liege says:
CO: Incindiarie runic wary Wrathum (Beware the trapped Wraith runes)

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters the bridge and heads to the Science console::  Computer: run a level 2 self diagnostic to sensors, including deflector dish.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::works hard to get all systems back online ASAP::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
Liege: I am a friend. ::In Lumina::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
::sits in the Big Chair::  TO_Officer: weapons status?

Host Liege says:
