USS Cherokee 10203.10 A Dragon's Tale Part 1

Host SM-Trish says:
The CO and XO are speaking with Lessa, Weyrwoman of Pern.  Unknown to them, she has summoned a wing of dragonmen, lead by her mate F'lar.

Host SM-Trish says:
Lessa is angry that someone has said that a child has been stolen, one that might have possibly been found on the "search".

CNS_Siatty says:
::Gazing at the majesty of the dragon, wondering how the legends came to be.::

CTO_Worthington says:
::still rubbing his head, watching the conversation::

Lessa says:
XO:  How could you allow this child to be taken?

CMO_Starr says:
::walks over to the CTO::  CTO:  How you feeling?

Host XO_Lyon says:
Lessa: Allow? It’s in the nature of those abducting not to ask permission. We protect our children almost like a golden dragon her clutch. ::fumes::

Host CO_Arconus says:
Lessa:  It wasn't by choice.

Host Lessa says:
::Lessa's eyes lose focus, as if she is far away::  (((Mnementh:  You are leaving now?)))

CTO_Worthington says:
CMO: Uh,...I feel like my head is going to explode. Other than that, I am good.

OPS_Jones says:
::sitting next to Kevin while trying to finally tell him how she feels about him::

CEO_Terumo says:
::hidden out of view, tries to hear the conversation as best as he can::

Host Mnementh says:
(((Lessa: We are about to go "between".)))

CMO_Starr says:
::runs a tricorder over him discreetly, reads the results, sets up a hypospray:: CTO:  This will help the headache.  Mind telling me what happened?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sitting and staring at something out of the tales his 3 times great-grandfather used to read about. If the prophets put us here then it must have some basis in truth. Looks to Kyleigh to see what her reaction is.::

Host Lessa says:
XO:  My mate, F'lar is leaving now.  He will be here shortly, and we will discuss this kidnapping of the child.

CTO_Worthington says:
CMO: Thanks. I don't really know to tell you the truth. I just woke up here on the beach.

Host CO_Arconus says:
Lessa:  How long will it take him to arrive?  Is your home far?

Host XO_Lyon says:
::nods:: Lessa: Understood. We'll just go fetch the rest of our party. CO: Irandor?

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  A dragon wing appears above the Cherokee crew.

Host Lessa says:
::Lessa grins at the CO's question::

Host Lessa says:
CO:  Would now be soon enough, farmer?

CMO_Starr says:
CTO:  What’s the last thing you remember, before waking up here?

Host F`lar says:
::appears from "between" and sees Ramoth and Lessa on the beach::

CTO_Worthington says:
CMO: I was at tactical, running sensor sweeps.

CMO_Starr says:
::treats his minor sunburn as well as his headaches::

CNS_Siatty says:
No one in particular: Wow, that is impressive...If only our crops would grow like that.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::looks up, and sees the dragons:: CO: Teleportation.

OPS_Jones says:
::she is in awe of what is transpiring in front of her but she has something to do and there is no better time than the present::  Kevin:  So, what do you make of this?  ::points to the dragon::

Host CO_Arconus says:
Lessa:  I'll just go get the others.  ::looks at the XO::

CMO_Starr says:
CTO:  You don't remember the visit by the prophets then.. ::looks up at the sound of the new dragons appearing::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  The wing lands next to Lessa, stirring up the sand.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::shields his eyes:: CO: Tell them to do and say nothing. I'll have to explain some more. ::whispered::

CTO_Worthington says:
Self: More dragons? ::seeing the dragon wing land::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Raises arm to protect face from the sand.::

Host Lessa says:
::walking over, Lessa waits for F'Lar to dismount::

CMO_Starr says:
CTO:  You should be feeling back to normal by now.  Let me know if you get the headaches back again.  ::walks over to were OPS and the CSO is sitting::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::moves quickly to the trees, deciding that he hates to be called farmer::

Host F`lar says:
::lands with the wing behind him, jumps off Mnementh's back:: Lessa: I see you've been busy.

CMO_Starr says:
::turns her back to the sudden gust of sand::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Backs away slowly, staring at the dragons.::

CEO_Terumo says:
::sees a dragon wing approach out of nowhere:: Self: I think they've seen me from the air... Let's see how they react to the blue guy...

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks up as the wing moves in.:: Kyleigh: Have you ever seen anything so majestic?

CTO_Worthington says:
::falls back with the Captain::

Host F`lar says:
Lessa: Please tell me there has been an infestation of Thread or something that requires a full wing. ::grins at his mate::

OPS_Jones says:
Kevin:  Only in my wildest dreams.

Host Lessa says:
::reaching up she hugs F'Lar::  F'Lar:  We seem to have a missing child, F'Lar, I think deserves at least a wing, wouldn't you?  ::smiling up sweetly at him::

CMO_Starr says:
OPS/CSO: How are y’all feeling? ::runs a tricorder over them ::

Host CO_Arconus says:
All:  Do nothing, say nothing for the moment.  Those...things are telepathic.  The XO will explain later.

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

Host F`lar says:
Lessa: Like the one we had to bring along to find you?

CEO_Terumo says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  Yes, sir.  I thought they were.  The telepathic noise in my head increased when she arrived.

OPS_Jones says:
::gives the CMO a "Not now" look::  CMO:  I'm fine.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks sheepishly at the Doctor. CMO: I'm fine doc.

Host CO_Arconus says:
::turns to watch all the colored lizards fluttering about::

CMO_Starr says:
OPS/CSO: Ok if those burns start to bother you let me know ::walks over to the captain, giving the lovebirds their privacy::

CNS_Siatty says:
CO: Understood, I'm sorry if mentioning the kidnapping causes problems.

Host Lessa says:
F'Lar:  No, this child has been kidnapped, and the farmers ::pointing to the crew:: believe it is because she would have been found on the next search.

CMO_Starr says:
CO: < whispering > Aren't those dragons beautiful?

Host Lessa says:
F'Lar:  Apparently, she is very good with animals...

Host F`lar says:
::clenches his fists:: Lessa: I thought that old auntie’s tales have been squashed. I'll have to speak to Master Robinton again. Of course we'll help them look.

Host CO_Arconus says:
CNS:  There might be a connection.  No telling what those wormhole beings are after.

Host Lessa says:
::motions for the XO to come over::  XO:  We will help you search for the child.  Can you give us a description of her, so the dragons and men will know what to look for?

Host CO_Arconus says:
CMO:  In a scaly sort of way, I guess.  The greens are nice looking.

CNS_Siatty says:
CO: Maybe they are helping, in their own way?  Maybe the Ursa came this way as well?

CTO_Worthington says:
::headache begins to let up a bit:: CO: What should be our next move?

OPS_Jones says:
Kevin:  There is something that I have to tell you and it’s not easy for me to say. ::trying to look at him::  I am taking a huge leap of faith here.

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  Dozen of fire lizards appear, circling the dragons.

Host CO_Arconus says:
CNS:  If they took this setting from the XO's mind.  Quite possibly there is a connection.

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  Yes the gold one is awesome as well.  CNS:  I think it was to our benefit that you did.  It appears we have some supporters to help us find the child.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::walks closer:: Lessa: Thanks for the offer. She's still very young, she'll only be two Turns old in a few months. ::looks up, trying to see his fire lizard::

Host CO_Arconus says:
CTO:  Wait for the XO to talk it out or get eaten.

Host CO_Arconus says:
CTO:  Just kidding.  We'll wait and see.

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  The Dragons don't eat humans, they bond with them.

Host Lessa says:
F'Lar:  Shouldn't we take these farmers to the Weyr, that way we can notify everyone to begin looking?

CEO_Terumo says:
::moves in closer to the CO::

CTO_Worthington says:
CO: I'll be ready.

CMO_Starr says:
::suppressing a giggle::

Host F`lar says:
Lessa: Absolutely. ::looks up:: Look, fire lizards!

CNS_Siatty says:
CMO: If most of our equipment is gone, most of any other crew’s equipment may be gone as well. If T'Sara is here, shouldn't we be able to sense her then?

Host Ramoth says:
 Lessa:  We have bespoke all the dragons.  They are awaiting the mental image of the child, Lessa.

CSO_Nash says:
Kyleigh:  I too have something to tell you and if you don't mind, my curtness, but I've gotta say this now.

Host Lessa says:
ALL:  Please mount a dragon, so that we may return to Benden.  We will then begin the search. ::motioning for the others to come forward::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::looks at Lessa again:: Lessa: I can't give you a clear mental picture, but perhaps my fire lizard can give Ramoth a clear picture? Otherwise, the child's foster mother is with us.

Host Lessa says:
::snorts::  XO:  Your fire lizard? The flighty thing?  You must be joking farmer!

CNS_Siatty says:
Self: Ride the dragon?  Is this Pern, or the amusement park planet?  ::Smiles.::

CEO_Terumo says:
CO: Do you think the XO is getting somewhere? What are our odds against all these dragons?

OPS_Jones says:
::looks to the group as Lessa made the announcement::  Kevin:  I guess it will have to wait.  ::gets up and heads to a dragon::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::frowns:: Lessa: He's been good for me. The whole of Pern knows what happened and why you don't like them, but they have their uses. ::turns his back and yells up the beach:: ALL: Come now! They won't eat you!

CTO_Worthington says:
::looks at the dragons:: CO: What should we do here?

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  You will ride with me on Ramoth, as will the other woman.

CNS_Siatty says:
::Walks up to a dragon, patting its side as he approaches.::  Dragon: Good boy.

Host F`lar says:
CO: You're with me.

Host CO_Arconus says:
::looks at the CEO::  CEO:  Odds against them?  There is no need for odds yet.  Remember the prime directive.  We'll play along.  Do you have a mirror CEO?

Host CO_Arconus says:
All:  I guess we go.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Follows F'lar and the other males to one of the Dragons.::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa: O.K., thanks. ::walks over to the young lady::

Host Lessa says:
::steps daintily on Ramoth's proffered leg and takes her seat, reaching down for the CMO and OPS::

Host CO_Arconus says:
F'lar:  OK.  How does one properly mount such a noble steed?

Host F`lar says:
::assigns his wing to take the crew, and helps Irandor mount Mnementh.::

CTO_Worthington says:
::walks up towards the Dragons cautiously::

CEO_Terumo says:
CO: What do you mean? ::starts walking up to a dragon, but makes a detour close to the water::

OPS_Jones says:
::takes Lessa's hand for help getting on::

Host F`lar says:
CO: You step on the foreleg, reach up and grab a neck ridge, and then swing yourself up.

CNS_Siatty says:
Dragon Rider: What are your names?

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  How do you mount this noble dragon. CNS: We have 2 med kits and I suspect the dragons are hindering our telepathic abilities.

CMO_Starr says:
::Climbs up behind Lessa following her lead::

CTO_Worthington says:
::pats a dragon cautiously, trying not to get eaten::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::looks at the biggest brown dragon there.:: Self: Well, here we go.

CNS_Siatty says:
(((CMO: I don't think using the word telepathic is a good idea.)))

Host CO_Arconus says:
::swings up onto the dragon::

Host Lessa says:
::turning around she addresses the two women:: CMO;OPS:  Since you have never ridden a dragon, we will be going "between" which will be very cold.  You must hold tightly to me, and the one behind, tightly to the middle one.  By the time you count to 3, we will be at the weyr.

Host CO_Arconus says:
F'lar:  My name is Irandor.

CEO_Terumo says:
::sees his reflection in the water:: Self: Ah, those Prophets think of everything, great. ::gets near a dragon, but with the respect a creature this size deserves::

Host F`lar says:
Lessa: These people are not really dressed for "between"!

OPS_Jones says:
Lessa:  Understood.  ::hangs on::

CTO_Worthington says:
::gets up on a dragon, awaiting for what's next::

Host Lessa says:
F'Lar:  I know, but they can bare the short ride.

Host Lessa says:
::waits for the CMO to acknowledge her orders::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::gets onto the dragon, greeting the rider and asking the beast's name::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:: Ok. ::grabs Lessa around the waist::

CMO_Starr says:
OPS: Hold tight to me

Host Lessa says:
::waits for F'Lar to give the signal for the dragons to rise::

Dragon Rider says:
 CNS: I am called R'Der, the dragon's name is not important, to those who cannot speak with them, farmer.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Mounts a smaller Brown. Greets the rider and swings up like an expert.::

G’neth says:
 XO: Welcome, I'm G'neth, and this fine fellow is Mernath.

OPS_Jones says:
CMO:  That will not be a problem. ::holds on tighter::

CEO_Terumo says:
::pats the dragon gently and swings up onto the dragon:: Dragon Rider: Hello, my name is Terumo.

CNS_Siatty says:
R'Der: My apologies, but I didn't ask to speak with him. Just his name, I apologize if I offended.

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  My Name is Michaela. Nice to meet you and your dragon ::smiles::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::grins:: G'neth: Well, I'll sure enjoy this. I just wonder if my fire lizard will find me? ::looks around for him, adding a mental call::

CTO_Worthington says:
::continues to sit quietly on the dragon, not saying anything to the Dragon Rider::

Host F`lar says:
::sees everybody's mounted, raises his arm and swings it above his head in the traditional signal to rise::

R’Der says:
CNS: Whatever, farmer.  Hold on, wouldn't want to have to catch you if you fall.

Host Lessa says:
CMO/OPS: Hold tightly now.  ::Ramoth takes one giant leap and is in the air::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::head snaps back as the dragon jumps into the air::

OPS_Jones says:
::nods and she holds on for dear life::

Host F`lar says:
::braces as Mnementh takes a powerful leap into the air:: CO: Hold on!

Host CO_Arconus says:
::looks around in fascination::

CEO_Terumo says:
::feels the dragon take off and tries to hold on with everything he's got::

CMO_Starr says:
::holds tightly to Lessa, looking around in fascination::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  As the dragons take wing, suddenly they disappear "in-between".

CNS_Siatty says:
R'Der: Wow, what a.....

Host XO_Lyon says:
::tries to gasp at the intense cold, but can't say, or hear anything::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Hangs on tightly as he is instructed to do and feels himself airborne, moving swiftly under majestic wing sweeps.::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  In reality, the crew are only “between” 3 seconds, but the lack of all sensations, they feel like it is forever.

Host CO_Arconus says:
::wonders what the heck is going on::

CMO_Starr says:
Self: I'll have to check everyone for hypothermia. Yeesh, first sunburns now frostbite...

CNS_Siatty says:
::Shivers.::  R'Der: what was that?  It was cold as anything!

Host CO_Arconus says:
Self:  More wormhole alien tricks?

Host XO_Lyon says:
::emerges above Benden, still screaming, realizes they are at their destination and stops::

OPS_Jones says:
::shivers a she wishes she was with Kevin::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  The dragons appear at the weyr, gliding into the cavern.

R’Der says:
    CNS: It is nothing, farmer.  Deal with it, it's over.

Host CO_Arconus says:
::looks around wondering how they changed locations::

G’neth says:
   ::chuckles:: XO: First time?

CTO_Worthington says:
Self: What is going on today! ::further confused after the trip::

CMO_Starr says:
::trying not to shiver to hard:: Lessa:  Where are we? ::Looking around the cavern::

Host Lessa says:
F'Lar:  These farmers need hot klah and warm clothes.  I will take them so they can change, then we will meet in the dining room.

CMO_Starr says:
OPS:  How you feeling?

CEO_Terumo says:
::feels disoriented like he's never felt before::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sees their destination approaching. Self: I'm glad that that ride into the scary cold darkness is over.::

Host Lessa says:
ALL:  Follow me...

Host F`lar says:
::nods:: Lessa: Good idea. Our meeting room will do nicely.

CMO_Starr says:
::follows her::

OPS_Jones says:
::shivers as she gets off::   CMO:  C-c-c-cold but okay.

Host Lessa says:
::stepping down from Ramoth she thanks her dragon and begins to lead the farmers a way to changing rooms::

CTO_Worthington says:
::follows everyone::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Follows Lessa, shivering a bit still.::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::shudders at being called a farmer again::

OPS_Jones says:
::follows::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::follows the rest inside::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::gets off the dragon:: Mernath: Thanks, I won't forget this. ::grins as the dragon looks at him:: G'neth: See you around.

CMO_Starr says:
::steps down off the dragon, pets the dragon after disembarking:: OPS:  I think they are going to give us some warm drink and food..

CSO_Nash says:
:: Follows F'lar shivering from the cold ride and wanting to get into those warmer clothes that were promised.::

CEO_Terumo says:
::gets down from the dragon, trying not to look too disoriented, and follows the others:: 

OPS_Jones says:
CMO:  Good.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::follows the rest::

CMO_Starr says:
Ramoth:  Thanks for the ride ::pets her and then follows Lessa::

Host Lessa says:
::stepping off the sand and up stone stairs, she leads them to changing rooms::  ALL:  There are warm clothes in here and shortly we will have something to warm the insides as well.  ::grinning at how well the farmers behaved on the dragons::

Host F`lar says:
::heads off to speak with the wingleaders about the next Fall::

Host Ramoth says:
   (((CMO:  You are welcome.)))

Host XO_Lyon says:
Lessa: We'll need a while to get our bearings. We've never been so far from home.

CMO_Starr says:
::looks around the room noticing there are two separate areas to change in::

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  I suggest females take the smaller room to change, since there are fewer of us?

OPS_Jones says:
::is eager to get warm clothes on::

Host Lessa says:
::stands and watches as the farmers are not quite sure what to do::

CTO_Worthington says:
::grabs some of the clothing and goes to change::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Begins to put on the warmer clothes.::  XO: What was that?  The cold I mean.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Waits to see what kind of clothes await us.::

Host XO_Lyon says:
CMO: Excellent suggestion. ::goes to the changing area::

CMO_Starr says:
::puts on the warmer clothes, after figuring out which is front vs. back::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::quickly changes and moves out to look around::

 Host Lessa says:
::walks over to a hole, that has a tube that runs down to the Kitchen::  Manora:  Please have one of the drudges bring hot klah to the dining hall.  We have several guests that need the warmth!

CSO_Nash says:
:: Doesn't care, putting the warmer clothes on, and the moves to get the promised nourishment.::

 Host XO_Lyon says:
::changes into the clothes provided and goes back to the rest::

CMO_Starr says:
::meets the others in the room, quickly scans them for any cold illness/traumas::

OPS_Jones says:
::searches for an outfit that suits her, having found one, she puts it on and goes to find Kevin::

CEO_Terumo says:
::adjusts his eyes to the change in brightness and sees a simple but comfortable room:: Self: OK, lets see how to get this on...

Host XO_Lyon says:
::whispers:: CO: We need some time alone. I have some more explaining to do.

CTO_Worthington says:
::finishes getting dressed and meets up with everyone else::

Host CO_Arconus says:
XO:  Indeed I have a few questions.

Host Lessa says:
XO:  I will leave you at the dining hall.  I must see F'Lar for a few moments.  I am sure you can entertain yourselves for a little while.

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  So far, every seems to have survived the cold/heat exposures with little or no injuries < whispering >

Host XO_Lyon says:
::smiles:: Lessa: That will be great, thanks.

Host Lessa says:
ALL:  Has everyone change clothes? ::looking for all of them::

Host CO_Arconus says:
CMO:  What was that state?  Some sort of sensory deprivation?  Did they do it to hide their means of transportation?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Exits the room and looks in the direction the ladies went. Just as he exits he sees Kyleigh and walks over to her. Kyleigh: Shall we head for the dining hall together?

Host XO_Lyon says:
CO: I'll explain everything once we're alone.

CEO_Terumo says:
::finishes getting dressed and joins the CO and XO::

Host Lessa says:
::seeing that everyone has changed, motions for them to follow her;:

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  No that is the way the dragons teleport to each location here on Pern.  It is called between, it is like a dimensional shift.< whispering >

OPS_Jones says:
Kevin:  Sure, but after Lyon finishes his speech.

Host CO_Arconus says:
CMO: Dimensional shift?  Is there any danger to us?

Host XO_Lyon says:
::follows Lessa and herds the rest along::

Host Lessa says:
::hears the CO raise his voice and frowns::  CO:  What are you saying?

CMO_Starr says:
< Whispering > CO: None that I am registering so far on my tricorders or my scans on us.

Host CO_Arconus says:
Lessa:  Just wondering about going between. Nothing important.

Host Lessa says:
::nods at the farmer and continues her journey to the dining hall::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::sighs in relief at the quick recovery:: Self: Very smooth.

CEO_Terumo says:
Self: That was close...

CTO_Worthington says:
::follows the CO and Lessa::

Host Lessa says:
::walking into a VERY large room, Lessa has them sit at one end of a long table::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::settles at the table, and waits for Lessa to leave::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::Wonders when the wormhole aliens will get to the heart of the matter::

Host Lessa says:
::drudges immediately appear with hot klah and trays of food::

CTO_Worthington says:
::takes a seat at the table with everyone else::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Sits, making it a point to appear in awe.::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::follows along slowly::

OPS_Jones says:
::after entering the dining hall, she sits down next to Kevin::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Walks in and pulls out a seat for Kyleigh to seat herself and takes a seat next to her.::

Host Lessa says:
ALL:  Please eat and drink your fill.  F'Lar and I will return shortly ::nodding to them, then leaving the hall for other business::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::picks at the meat::

CMO_Starr says:
::sits down and scans the food and drink to ensure it is safe ::

CEO_Terumo says:
::sits down and notices that he's hungry, after all::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::waits until the drudges leave:: All: I have a lot of explaining to do in a very short time. Hold the questions until I'm done.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Waits to eat until the explanations are through.::

CMO_Starr says:
ALL: The food and drink is safe. Eat and drink while it is hot.

CTO_Worthington says:
::ignores the food and waits for the explanation::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::sits and listens to the XO::

CMO_Starr says:
::starts to drink the hot fluids cautiously and eat the food::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  More drudges appear with fruit laden trays, and good Benden wine.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::looks around:: All: According to the novels this world is based on, dragons are telepathic, and will only speak to their riders, none others or very rarely. They are not dangerous, and won't harm humans.

OPS_Jones says:
::takes a bite of food::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Thinks better of it and eats while the food is hot.::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Cautiously takes a taste of the food and drink, then smiles and eats.::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::smiles and thanks the drudges, waiting for them to leave again::

CTO_Worthington says:
::grabs a drink and listens intently::

CEO_Terumo says:
::hears the XO's explanations while he eats something that tastes a bit like chicken::

OPS_Jones says:
::after finding out how good the food is, she continues to eat::

CMO_Starr says:
XO:  The dragons will speak to those who are telepathic.. I could hear Ramoth, when he spoke to me..::  ALL: The wine is alcoholic. Be careful.
Host XO_Lyon says:
::continues to speak between bites of food:: All: They are a pastoral society, no technology that we are used to. ::nods:: CMO: As I said, rarely. They must not know some of us are telepathic.

CNS_Siatty says:
CMO: But is that wise to attempt?  If only the riders can speak with them, won't our speaking with them cause further problems?

Host CO_Arconus says:
::hears the CMO and pours a glass of wine::

CMO_Starr says:
::nods in agreement with the XO and continues to eat::

CTO_Worthington says:
::begins to feel a little better and grabs another drink::

CEO_Terumo says:
XO: Alcoholic, you say? That might be a little too late to tell me...

CSO_Nash says:
:: Devours a portion of food roughly equivalent to a small Thanksgiving Day Turkey before he knows it. Feeling his appetite sated begins to drink.::

CEO_Terumo says:
::puts down his fourth glass of wine::

OPS_Jones says:
::begins to sip the wine, still waiting to tell Kevin how she feels toward him::

CEO_Terumo says:
Self: Luckily, wine has never made me drunk...

Host CO_Arconus says:
CEO:  Steady there with the wine.

Host XO_Lyon says:
All: Their society is divided into Weyrs, Holds and Crafthalls. The Weyrs house the dragons, which are the protectors of the planet, from a mycorrhizoid that attacks all carbon-based forms. If anybody tells you Thread is approaching, get under something metal or solid rock, and stay there.

CSO_Nash says:
:: As he is drinking the wine, begins to feel the alcoholic properties  take affect and stops after two mugs.::

CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Thread?

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  The XO's fire lizard appears and begins scolding him for leaving he behind, then comes to lie on his shoulder, rubbing his chin::

Host XO_Lyon says:
CTO: Yes, that is the name for it, but it will "eat" a large cow in 10 seconds, skin and bone.

CEO_Terumo says:
XO: Is there any known defense against that mycorrhizoid?

CMO_Starr says:
::gets up, adjusts a hypospray for everyone to counter the alcoholic effects of the wine, walks around to everyone and injects them::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::strokes his friend and offers him something to eat:: CEO: Yes. The dragons eat a phosphine bearing rock, and produce flame to char it before it can reach the ground.

OPS_Jones says:
::she looks at Kevin finish his second mug of wine and decides that she better tell him now before he is unable to understand what she is going to say::  < whispers > Kevin:  I have to tell you something.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::sees Michaela:: CMO: Good idea, but you'll have to hide that thing. We don't want them suspicious.

CMO_Starr says:
XO:  The medkits stay in my pouches.  but I need to counter the alcohol in this wine or we will be sorry.. ::grins::

CSO_Nash says:
< whispers > Kyleigh: I have something to tell you as well. I have stopped drinking because I feel the effects of this drink.

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  The fire lizard grabs the food, and when full, goes to sleep on the XO's shoulder, tail wrapped tightly around his throat.

Host XO_Lyon says:
All: A few more things. The Holds are where the general population lives. Cities if you want, but ruled by a Lord Holder. ::grins and nods:: Crafthalls are divided into different disciplines. Harper, or teachers, weaver, beast, farmer, fish and so forth.

CMO_Starr says:
XO: Be careful your new friend tail doesn't choke you ::smiles and walks to each person counter the effects of the wine::

CMO_Starr says:
CTO:  How you feeling?

Host XO_Lyon says:
::smiles at Michaela:: All: They think we are farmers, so we have to act that way. ::tries to think of anything else to say::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  Gereth begins to "hum" quietly, showing his love for the XO.

CTO_Worthington says:
CMO: I am better now. Thanks for your concern.

Host CO_Arconus says:
::wonders how one acts like a dirt sifter::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::scratches the lizard between the eyes:: CO: I think those are the most important parts.

Host XO_Lyon says:
All : Questions?

CMO_Starr says:
CTO: Well, you knocked me out cold while I was treating your hand.. so Naturally I'm just a wee bit concerned ::grins and moves on::

CEO_Terumo says:
XO: So we should be from a Crafthall? Do we have a name for it, if asked?

CMO_Starr says:
XO:  Farmers?  How we going to explain my knowledge of herbs and medicines?

CTO_Worthington says:
Self: Man, I get blamed for everything when I'm passed out.

OPS_Jones says:
::getting up her nerve, she looks at Kevin::   Kevin:  You are the most important person in my life, and for weeks I was trying to figure out how I feel towards you.  ::trying not to prolong her proclamation but she is nervous::

Host XO_Lyon says:
CMO: You can be from the Healer Hall, their doctors.

CNS_Siatty says:
XO: Status.  Is it safe to assume the riders occupy a higher one?

Host CO_Arconus says:
XO:  What is the connection with our mission?

CMO_Starr says:
XO:  That makes sense, even farmers need healers. Didn't you say we were from Tillek hold?

Host XO_Lyon says:
CEO: We don't have to be from a specific Hall. Not everybody is affiliated with them.

CMO_Starr says:
::Walks over to where OPS/CSO is sitting, injects them and then goes back and sits down, picking up more food and eating it::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::nods to the CMO:: CNS: Treat them like you would an XO, or CO. F'lar and Lessa are like Admirals. Be unfailingly polite if you can.

OPS_Jones says:
Kevin:  There is one thing I can think of to say and that is  I love you Kevin. I don't know what I would do without you.  ::grins::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  Voices can be heard down the hallway.  Lessa seems to be returning.

CNS_Siatty says:
XO: If I can't, I'm in the wrong line of work.

Host XO_Lyon says:
CO: I'm not sure sir. The prophets happen to think we'll get clues here.

CTO_Worthington says:
::hears the voices down the hall and perks his ears::

Host F`lar says:
::walks along with Lessa:: Lessa: So, what do you make of these people?

CMO_Starr says:
ALL: We have company returning

Host XO_Lyon says:
CO: I'm done. I hope I didn't raise even more questions.

CMO_Starr says:
::puts away all her medkits into pouches and continues to eat::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::mumbles:: Self: I'm not a farmer.

Host Lessa says:
F'Lar:  They seem  very concerned about the child.  Since we have dragons at every hold, it will not hurt to have them look for her, as soon as we can get a good image to relay to the dragons and riders.

CMO_Starr says:
< whispers >CO:  You were once... "dear husband"  ::grins and looks at the Captain::

Host CO_Arconus says:
All:  We will play the game.  Walk the path of the prophets.

Host F`lar says:
::nods:: Lessa: I get the same feeling.

Host CO_Arconus says:
CMO:  And look at me now.

Host CO_Arconus says:
::grins::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks into Kyleigh's eyes, feeling that the affects of the hypo from the doctor are taking affects.:: < Whispers > Kyleigh: I too have had these feelings. Mine have been for a slightly longer time though. I knew that I felt the same for you since I first saw you during the mission when we took out that Borg Cube.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::smiles at the interaction and takes something more to eat::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  Lessa and F'lar enter the room, walking directly to the XO::

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  Everything goes in a circle...it was bound to happen again  ::grins::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::looks up as the Weyrleaders approach, and shoots an apologetic glance at Irandor::

CMO_Starr says:
::feels stuffed but puts some of the jerky into her pouches for later and refills her water pouch with more water::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Feels a completeness now that he has finally gotten to tell Kyleigh how long he has had feelings for her.::

Host CO_Arconus says:
::stands as Lessa enters::

CMO_Starr says:
::stands as F'Lar and Lessa enter the room::

CEO_Terumo says:
::stands with the others::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::gets up as well::

CTO_Worthington says:
::stands up::

Host Lessa says:
::smiles inwardly as the farmers rise at her appearance, pleased that they know who they are dealing with::  XO:  I need you to awaken your lizard, and project and image of the child, Ramoth and Mnementh will also see what he does.  Do you understand?  Also, can someone give us a physical description as well for the riders?

CNS_Siatty says:
::Rises after setting down the food.::

OPS_Jones says:
::she is so relieved that she finally told Kevin how she feels and that he told her that he feels the same way toward her::  Kevin:  So what do we do now?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Grabs Kyleigh by the hand and helps her to stand up. Keeps his arm around her just in case she needs the support.::

Host XO_Lyon says:
Lessa: Of course. CMO: Michaela, can you tell them what T'Sara looks like? ::reaches up to wake Gereth::

OPS_Jones says:
::takes his hand and gets up::

CMO_Starr says:
XO:  Yes, I can.
