Host ACTD John Sea says:
 Resume USS Andromeda "Through the Looking Glass" 10511.06

Host Planet President says:
Scene: We now rejoin our heroes and heroine who have just foiled the Black Hand Assassination

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::feels pleased for helping to prevent the assassination of the president::

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: Our force field just saved your life.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::stands with the others looking at the planet guys::

Host Planet President says:
Captain: I accept your version of the truth although it is hard to believe

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::is still getting used to look at himself as a human::

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: I don't believe he is the only assassin on the loose. You are safe here, for now, but as soon as you return to your planet, there are more.

Host Planet President says:
CO: I've never heard of this organization, where do we go from here?

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: It is in our interest that no war will break out and that you will conduct your first warp flight successfully.

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Wonders if it would be proper to help the government to totally track down the members of the Black Hand or if that would interfere with the locals too much::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
President: If I may ::looks at the CO: President: I think you must unite your people. so that no matter what this organization do, they will remain peacefull

Host Planet President says:
CSO: Why would you say that?

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Observes the action on the holodeck from his console::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CSO: We know that following your assassination, a major war would break. Our...computer has predicted this

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::walks away just a bit and whispers:: *CTO* Mr Senek, how is our prisoner? Please verify that he's OK; I don't want to lose the President's confidence in us.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CTO* Oh, and please make sure that the guards are human.  I don't think that the Captain wants to reveal all just know.

Host Planet President says:
CSO: I certainly appreciate computers but as a politician I know that life tends to be more unpredictable, so where do you all come from?

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: We will not reveal our origins.

CTO Commander Senek says:
*XO* There is nothing wrong with him right now, at least physically. Also, the guards are all humans on this shift.

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: This is a simulation where we have taken human appearance.

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: I understand that this might sound suspicious. To a certain degree it is and we do it because we wish to protect ourselves.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
President: you must understand that your world is in a fine thread between absolute war and progress. And you are a crucial element in this ...

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CTO* Good. Make sure that when the shift changes security remains human.  And, while you have the bridge, also keep an eye on the Statue, will you?

Host Planet President says:
CO: I see.  Well in light of your demonstrated good will I will accept your need for privacy

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: To get to the core issue, which we have already mentioned, we wish that your planet remains in peace and that you will conduct your first warp flight. We will try to assist you with those goals.

CTO Commander Senek says:
*XO* Of course. I am a bit worried about the prisoner's mental condition, though - the experience of being suddenly transported into captivity must have been a shock to him.

Host Planet President says:
CO: How can you assist us?

CO Captain Sketek says:
Scientists: I realize that you have several issues you need to address with warp design. He ::points to the CEO:: is here to assist you with some key details.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CTO* Right...  I understand your concerns, but I don't see what can be done for him as we lack our counsellor.  If you have an, idea feel free to pursue it. Z'heta out.

CO Captain Sketek says:
President: We will provide you with answers to some warp problems and give you critical information about the Black Hand group.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::walks back to join the CO team::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CO/President: But it might be prudent that no one knows of our presence

CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* Prepare a report of the Black Hand group, with enough details to allow their operations to be halted.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CO/President: ...or influence

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: IS the force field around the other scientist still on?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
XO: Yes sir

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* Aye, sir. I assume we aren't concerned about not interfering too much at this point?

Host Planet President says:
Action: The Statue turns its hand with a thumb up and the President and all people on the planet vanish

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Perhaps it's time to lower it.  I don't want the scientist to feel intimidated as they're in a sort of a jail.

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* Something happened..

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* You should all get back to bridge now.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
XO: Aye sir, ::lowers forcefield around remaining scientists::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::takes his tricorder and scans the scientist for traces of the poison::

CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* We'll be there right away.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Looks to see the scientists have disappeared:: XO: That could be an issue

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: We must return to the bridge.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks amazed and the vanishing::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Leaves the holodeck and takes a TL to the bridge::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Follows the CO to the bridge::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: In deed...  *CTO* Have you detected an unauthorized beam?

CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* What is it? I just know that our guests suddenly disappeared.

Host The Judge says:
Action: The Solar system itself vanishes

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* The statue turned its thumb up and the whole planet disappeared.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::walks heading to the bridge::

CTO Commander Senek says:
*CO* The simulation seems to have ended.

CO Captain Sketek says:
*CTO* Are we still bonded with chronotons?

Host The Judge says:
Scene: The lone towering figure of the Judge stands in space

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::follows the others to the bridge, shaking her head::

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Enters the bridge::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Checks for the chronoton bond:: CO: No, we appear to be free.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Please, scan the environment. Report on the chronotons and cosmological events.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Excellent.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters the bridge right after the CO::  

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: Is our prisoner gone too?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::nods to the Xo and taps her console::

CTO Commander Senek says:
XO: Yes. No trace of the planet or its inhabitants remains, except for the huge statue.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: I see... Thank you, Senek.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
All: I concur with the CTO, we are free of the chronotons. Furthermore, the planetary system is completely gone. we are in open space, he ::points:: All: is the only one around

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Core status?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
XO: Operating within normal parameters

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: Try to open a contact with the statue.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Great!

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks at the screen::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: I suppose the Statue is pleased with us, Sir.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Begins hailing the statue on all frequencies::

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: I hope so.

Host The Judge says:
USS Andromeda: As you have undoubtedly concluded this has all been a simulation for your benefit, a window into the planet, solar system long since vanished from light years away

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Please, turn of the program on holodeck 1. And holodeck privileges are still revoked while we maintain yellow alert.

CO Captain Sketek says:
COMM: The Judge: Why earth?

Host The Judge says:
USS Andromeda: My people, the Celestials have been the caretakers for these people before they destroyed themselves

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::nods to the XO and does as he asked::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
XO: I wonder who would want to use it now ..

Host The Judge says:
CO: I have sought the heavens for people of good will to make contact with the last surviving members of my children

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Is getting quite confused by the Judge's words::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: It was just an information.  Actually it was interesting to look like a human

Host The Judge says:
CO: Please take care of my children

Host The Judge says:
CO: They need new homes and good people

XO Commander Z’heta says:
COMM: Judge: Could you inform us about the caretakers for other species, like Klingons, vulcans, etc?  We'd love to meat them...

CO Captain Sketek says:
COMM: The Judge: I do not understand everything you say but I hope that our contacts will be friendly.

Host The Judge says:
Action: The Statue vanishes and is replaced by a large sleeper ship of one million people in Suspended Animation

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
All: the ship before us .... has about a million humanoids in stasis

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
Self: Woah, that’s gonna be an issue to move...

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: I guess it's not today that we'll meet our caretaker...

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: How large is that ship? Do we have any realistic means to tow it back to Starbase?

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Scans the ship::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: on screen and magnify 

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: It seems its warp powered

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::nods to the XO and magnifies the ship::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: I could take a team over and fly it back to a Starbase

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: To be honest, I do not understand has really happened here but it's good as long as we are safe and no one is hurt.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
All: The celestials were indeed very powerful, their psionic presence was like nothing I've ever seen

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Interesting design of a vessel, isn't it?

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: I think that's a good plan.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Indeed. Even I felt it a bit...

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CTO: Aren’t there any other lifeforms besides the ones in stasis?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
All: its curious that the life forms are so similar to humans

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Well, the Statue was the caretaker of a planet similar to earth...

CTO Commander Senek says:
XO: Scans don't find any.

Host The Judge says:
Scene: The sleeper ship is a very sleek design, with four warp engines, a place for trees and plants and animals, food storage, fuel storage, and communication array.  It is definitely a refugee ship from a world which destroyed itself

CO Captain Sketek says:
CEO: Prepare a team and beam to the ship.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Captain, may I volunteer to go with the AT?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
CO: Aye sir, *Smith* Grab a team and all the equipment needed, we're going on a field trip today

CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: Yes, you can go with them. They need someone in command.

Host The Judge says:
Action: Internal scans reveal a man identical to the Planet President in suspended animation as well as log books, women, children, art, and music.  It is the last organized effort to preserve the identity of a people

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CO: Do you think the Federation will have a planet for them? Remember they did want to destroy themselves ...

CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: I don't know what Federation will do but if they escaped, it is clear that they wanted to live.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Heads to the TL:: XO: Are you coming along sir?

CTO Commander Senek says:
CSO: I find it more probable that those particular members of the race are not the ones responsible for the downfall of their civilization.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
CO: They escaped? Or were aided by the celestials?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Aye aye, sir.  BTW, if the Judge contacts again, I'm curious about why he needs our help to look for this humans.  Can't he do it by himself? 

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CEO: Go ahead, grab your gear and wait for me in TR1.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: That we can't know but sooner or later someone will figure it out.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::takes his klingon dagger, tricorder and phaser::

CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Right now it is not our responsibility to find out what these people did or what they want. Our objective is to tow them back to Starbase 50 and then let the Federation deal with the issue.

Host The Judge says:
Action: The book which was floating in the air continues to write
"President's Log: Year 2010, The Black Hand has taken over the Senate and plunged my nation and the planet into a war which will destroy us all.
It saddens me to see my world in the grip pf such evil.
There is war and lingering death, starvation as all systems are breaking down.
"...it is all I can do to take what people I can and flee the planet with people before the end truly comes.
I hope we find a new home in the stars, we sleep now, may the ancient Celestials protect us <end>"

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::nods to the CO and resumes scans::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::looks up reading the book::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::nods at the CO's comment and enters TL:: Computer: TR1!

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters TR1:: 

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Take the helm.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* Z`heta to the bridge: permission to leave the ship, sir?

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: Aye. ::Walks to the flight control console and sits down::

CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Permission granted.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: Plot a course back to SB50.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
TR_Chief: Do your job Mr Molecules...

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
*CO*: Permission to bring myself and my team over to the sleeper ship

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Sets the course back to Starbase 50::

Host The Judge says:
<Molecules> XO: Shaken and not stirred hee hee

CO Captain Sketek says:
*CEO* Permission granted.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::always gets butterflies when beamed by chief Molecules::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
::watches the book thoughtfully::

Host The Judge says:
End USS Andromeda "Through the Looking Glass" 10511.06
