Resume USS Andromeda "Prism Colony" 10505.08

Host ACTD JohnSea says: 
Action: The Away Team beams back on the USS Andromeda and arrives in transporter room One

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::materializes on the transporter room and looks around::

CO Captain Sketek says: 
*XO* Please have the away report to Observation Lounge.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::materializes on the padd::

CO Captain Sketek says: 
*CEO* Report to Observation lounge.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: Did they redecorate?

CO Captain Sketek says: 
OPS: We'll have a meeting in the OL with the senior crew attending.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Not by my knowlage!

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Heads towards the Observation lounge::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::frowns and starts feeling too warm, when she looks down she realizes why and again frowns::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::turns to face the CO:: CO: Aye shirr. ::walks from his chair, his tail still drooped, letting a supernumerary take over and glad to be away from the CEO's glare::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Are you all right Saprin?

CO Captain Sketek says:
::enters the OL::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::walks up the ramp and into the lounge, yet again taking a seat far from the bigwigs and from the CEO::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: I am... ::looks at the CNS as if she was seeing him for the first time and then at the XO::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Go on ahead sir. I and  Saprin Will join you ASAP.  ::walks to the CSO and takes her hand:: CSO: Come with me

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::briskly takes her hand from the CNS' but follows him any way looking rather annoyed::

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO/OPS: We're waiting for the away team to report.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::walks into an empty room and hopes the CSO will follow::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::nods quietly::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::cautiously enters the room::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Please sit down

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::takes his post at the Bridge::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::sits::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: What did you see in the transporter room?

CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* The away team should report to OL. What is taking so long?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: I saw you and Mr Z'heta

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Wrong answer. You asked me if they had redecorated. What do you mean by that?

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::sighs quietly, thinking 'this is worse than being bawled out by Lieutenant Power...'::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* I'm on my way...

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: The ...it must have been the transport. Some times it confuses us ::chuckles::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Glances at OPS to see if he's sitting uncomfortably::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: What do you mean with US?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: Us humanoids

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: you know, bipeds, sentient, supposedly intelligent

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::consults the ship's systems::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::is sitting kind of hunched over, generally looking depressed.. waiting for something--anything--to happen::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Really, and what else did you experience?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::rolls her eyes thinking:: CNS: Nothing of note ::sits back and puts her feet on a nearby table::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::sets a low orbit for Andromeda and  heads for the OL::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Look into my eyes and tell me how you feel right now?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters the OL and feels some different emotions coming from the CO::  CO: Sir....

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Welcome back.

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Where is the rest of the team?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks into Jordaïn's eyes:: CNS: Enlightened

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Thank you,....  You all right?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Looks up at the XO::

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: To be honest, this situation has put me under a great deal of stress, but I am otherwise fine.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: They're coming... Do you want me to get them personally?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::walks to Saprin and stands behind her. Puts his right hand on her shoulder:: CSO: You frowned as we stepped of the transporter padd, why?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: Can we go now? I think both of us have duties. And you don't want to hear from Sketek do you?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: Answer my question

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: Do not touch me ::removes his hand un-gently::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::gets up:: CNS: I frowned because I felt like it

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: I guess that we can start without them.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Understood.  *CSO/CNS* Get over here at once! ::sounds troubled::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::grabs her by the arm and pushes her back into the chair:: CSO: stay seated and answer my question! ::looks angry::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::takes a deep breathe then smiles again:: CNS: Now now, we can solve this in a better way later. But now I really need to resume my duty

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: It seems that we are in interphasic phase where we observe strange phenomena every four hours.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: I think we have orders otherwise

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: I'm doing my duty. And I am your senior officer.

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: I really know very little about its origins or if it also does something else but it's a start.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: Am I psychologically ill?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: What did you feel as we arrived, did you feel heat or pain or something else?

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: One direct benefit from this knowledge is that we know to expect strange things to happen every four hours.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CNS/CSO* acknowledge!  Come to OL ASAP!

CO Captain Sketek says:
Now, it might be that they are not limited to this four-hour phase.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CNS: No, the transport was normal.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::taps her badge::*XO*I am tied up by Mr Jordaïn at the moment. Can you tell him to let me do my work?

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: But at least we know that next time the phase is over, we are somewhat better prepared.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CSO: that is all I needed to hear now we can go *XO* We are on our way, Sir.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::gets up and heads out to the nearest TL without a word::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::walks out to the TL and enters:: TL: Bridge

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::feels angry but holds himself and decides to listen to the Captain until the end before doing anything to the late officers::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::moves uncomfortably in her uniform::

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Our current long term goal is to get away from this system.

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: So we need to repair the ship and establish at least one crystal mine.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: Do you think that you could leave the repairs for junior crew so that everyone could go to a single away team?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::exits the TL on de bridge and enters the OL a few moments later:: ALL: Sorry we are late but we had some unfinished business to attend to

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: They are a capable bunch, it should be no problem.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: Excellent.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::frowns at the CNS and scans him telepathically as well as the CSO::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::moves quickly taking a seat as far from the CNS as possible. looks at everyone in the room::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Notes CNS and CSO entering::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CO: Captain do you mind if I remain standing?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Looks up at the late attendants::

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: To reiterate for those who just arrives, it seems that we are in interphasic phase where we observe strange phenomena every four hours.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::Rolls her eyes:: Self: Strange right

CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: So far little of this phenomenon is known but you should analyze it during the course of our mission.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: I'm tired of such insubordinate behaviour! Sit down at once and listen to the Captain!  CSO: Sit here, next to me.

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Next we will have the senior crew forming one away team that will set up a mine on the planet.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks at the CO aiming for her most controlled face:: CO: Yes sir

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::nods to the XO smiling at him and takes that seat:: ~~~XO: Rie, that’s you in that stupid uniform isn't it?~~~

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::looks the XO directly in the eye not moving is glance and starts to sit down slowly next to the XO::  XO: Aye, Sir.

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: The team will leave almost immediately.  Only OPS will remain behind to beam down all the equipment and materials we need.  It might take a while because we might need lots of equipment.

CO Captain Sketek says:
OPS: Once you're down with the beaming, you'll join us in the surface.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::nods:: CO: Aye shirr.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
OPS: And try beam it to the right place. ::grins::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
~~~CSO: that's me all right. I don't know how we got to be on this weakling's ship, but I think it's time I got some power.~~~

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Everyone is to meet in TR1 in five minutes. Take phasers and tricorders.

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Dismissed.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::drops his head, thinking 'wasn't my fault! He's so mean!'::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Leaves the OL::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::remains seated::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Heads to the TL::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: A moment sir?

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::stands and heads for the turbolift::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
~~~XO: Yes, just don't let them know anything. We can take advantage of this, big time. We just need to get rid of that CNS~~~

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Takes a TL to TR1::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
TL: Cargo bay one.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
~~~CSO: Can you control the Transporters? Beam everyone down except you and me.  Andromeda will be ours.~~~

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: What do you want?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Look into my eyes and say you are my friend!

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
~~~XO: We will have to be more subtle than that. The transporters don't have the capacity to beam everyone at once.~~~  ::takes her station at the bridge::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Arrives at TR1::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: W-What? I don't have time for games

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Arrives at the TR1 with equipment::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::enters the cargo bay and begins assembling the necessary equipment for a mining operation, beaming it to a suitable location with help from the crewmen in the cargo bay::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Goes to take a type II phaser and a scientific tricorder::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
~~~CO: Don't you think something is odd around here today~~~

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: This is not a game. please do as I ask

CO Captain Sketek says:
*OPS* The away team will beam with just normal AT equipment so make sure that we have all the necessary equipment for setting up a mine.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::taps his badge:: *CO*: Aye shirr. I'm all rready beaming down the mining equipment. I'll be in the trranshporrterr rroom shortly.

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Looks at the CEO and nods slightly::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Sir?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Of course I'm your friend.  We're all one big happy family.  Now, let's move.  ::leaves OL::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: I did not know you could lie that well RIE

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
~~~CO: I don't think its wise of going down to the surface now~~~

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::gets up slowly and looks at the XO::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::closes his fists:: CNS: You called me a liar?

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Looks around, enters a nearby room, pulls CEO along and seals the door::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Indeed sir, I did

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::finishes up the majority of the equipment and turns to a crewman:: Crewman: Get the rresht of the equipment in plache to beam. I'll be back momentarrily. ::leaves the bay for the turbolift:: TL: Trranshporrterr rroom one.

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Keeping low voice:: CEO: What is it?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::controls his rage:: CNS: I'll prove you wrong.  Lets go to TR1.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: I've sensed clouded emotions from the CSO and XO

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: No, I will not

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: I can't really elaborate more because I only have limited telepathic abilities

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::walks into the TR to find it strangely empty and relieves the transporter chief on duty:: *CB1*: Ish everrything in plache?

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: At least the XO is rather emotional even in normal circumstances but I am not sure about the CSO.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
~~~XO: We may have other problems, the CEO and CO are communicating telepathically. We have to hurry~~~

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* there's something weird going on here.  The CNS doesn’t obey me.  I recommend confining him to his quarters and leaving the bridge to the CSO, just to be cautious.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
<PO2 Jeltz> *OPS*: Yes sir, we're ready to go here.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::tries to send a telepathic message to the CO::

CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Doesn't obey you? Have him report on Captain's office. Meanwhile you'll be in charge of the away team.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
*CB1*: Acknowledged. ::begins to beam the equipment down from the cargo bay to the transport site::

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: I'll remain on the ship with this excuse. Team up with the rest of senior officers in the AT. Be on your guard.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* On second thought, go ahead to the planet's surface.  Disciplinary actions are the competence of the executive officer.  A starfleet captain shouldn't have to worry about such petty things.  I'll join you down in 5 minutes, Sir.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Should he worry If I try to kill you ::speaks hard enough hoping the CO will listen::

CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* No, I want to speak with him directly. This is a senior officer we are talking about.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::accesses transporters::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Goes back to TR1, pulling CEO along::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Takes two phasers and gives one to CEO:: CEO: Just in case.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Nods at the CO::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Takes the other one and takes a TL to bridge::

CO Captain Sketek says:
*CNS* Meet me in Captain's lounge immediately.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
*CO* Aye sir

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::frowns::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Holsters phaser and waits for others in the TR::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::In TL on his way to bridge::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::walks towards the Captain's lounge and enters::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Enters the bridge and walks straight to Captain's lounge::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::sees the CO walking by::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters the TL::  Computer: TR1

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
::notices an alert on the panel:: *CO*: Captain, I'm detecting an unauthorrished trranshporrt in prrogrreshh! Trrying to rredirrect herre. ::works the console::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::leaves TL and enters TR1::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Sees the CNS:: CNS: You made a scene in the OL where you were late in the first place and now XO reported you for disobeying orders.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
~~~XO: In desperate times ... ~~~::gets a lock on all the senior crew and beams them to the planet::

CO Captain Sketek says:
*OPS* Stop these unauthorised transports.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CNS: What is your version of the events?

Host TC Molecules says:
Action: All the Senior crew suddenly appear on the planet surface except for the CSO and the XO

XO Commander Z’heta says:
~~~CSO: Good~~

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CO: Listen very fast lock that door and secure this room with a force field so we can't be beamed out.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
*CO*: I'm trrying, shirr; it ishn't worrking!

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
@CO: I knew it.

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
@::looks around:: Self: What the..?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
CO: I have located two twins

XO Commander Z’heta says:
TC Molecules: You're relieved.  Go to your quarters and stay there.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
~~ ~XO: We are alone. The seniors are gone. We just have to control the juniors and find a way to get back to our universe~~~::smiles widely::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Looks surprised::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
@All: I knew there was something up.

Host TC Molecules says:
XO: Where is this unauthorized transport? I'm bringing everyone home. ::begins to work the controls::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@All: So this was the reason they took over the transporters.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CO: To late

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
@::frowns:: CO/CEO/CNS: Doesh anyone have a trricorrderr? I might be able to shend ush back.

CO Captain Sketek says:
@::Gives OPS his tricorder::

Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The away team starts to shimmer, the CSO is locked out

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks at her console and tries to override the TC, failing::

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
@::tries to remotely access the ship's transporter controls until they start to get beamed back::

Host TC Molecules says:
::working the controls::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::goes into his pocket and pulls out a tricorder::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
TC Molecules: it was authorized by the Captain and by me.  Are you questioning my orders?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
~~~XO: they are returning and I cant stop it, should I beam us out?~~~

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CO: Sir the XO and the CSO are "twins.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
~~~CSO: Raise shields, that way they won't be able to beam back~~~

Host TC Molecules says:
XO: Yes.

Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The Away team begins to shimmer on the transporter pad

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::tries to raise the Andromeda shields::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
TC: Stop at once, we need our shields up! ::presses button on the TR console::

Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The shields go up, tripping the fail safes on the transporter main circuit and returning the AT to the surface

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::takes a deep breathe:: ~~ XO: we are free now. Get rid of that TC~~~

XO Commander Z’heta says:
TC: Do you want to be responsible for the loss of Andromeda and so many lives? I think not! Stop the beam and let us get our shields up!

Host TC Molecules says:
XO: What is going on you could have killed them!! ::reaches for a phaser::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@::starts to say words in a different language:: self: Nodianuis elian epi nodarius

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
@::finds himself back on the surface:: Self: What? ::tries again:: CO: They've rraished shieldsh, Captain; I can't get ush back.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
@::kicks the dirt::

Host TC Molecules says:
::thinks for a long moment and pulls trigger on the phaser, stunning the XO::

Host TC Molecules says:
Action: The XO collapses from a stun

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::faints::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@All: Unless we can have remote control of Andromeda, we can do almost nothing.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::shakes her head seeing the energy signature in the TR:: Self: If you want something done, do it yourself

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CO: Sir I Need your help

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::applies a security lockout on the main computer so no one can lower the shields or use transporters or move the ship::

CO Captain Sketek says:
@CNS: With?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
@*TC Molecules* Get us back onto the ship!

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CO: I need your mind, I need your telepathic abilities

OPS Ensign Nishtrra says:
@CO: I'll see what I can do... ::keeps working the tricorder::

Host TC Molecules says:
*CO* What do I do? Shields are up and I just shot the XO!!! ::running down the hall::

CO Captain Sketek says:
*Molecules* Try to get us beamed back.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:

CO Captain Sketek says:
@CNS: Please explain with more detail.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@CO: I'm trying to contact David, my new assistant. He is half betazoid, he could help us

Host TC Molecules says:
