Host XO_Siatty says:
::On Bridge.::  All: Status report, please.
OPS_Jones says:
::at OPS on Bridge::
CTO_Worthington says:
::in the OL with the CNS, preparing for the next interview::
CNS_Selar says:
::sitting in a chair in the OL with her legs crossed looking at a pad::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Rojer, we have to do something now.  We are getting ready to enter the wormhole.
SO_Lessing says:
::In quarters, just waking up::
EO_Valentine says:
::in ME, going over her specs for the occilating overthruster::
FCO_Toltek says:
::at the helm on bridge::
CEO_Terumo says:
::at the Engineering console, on the Bridge, keeping a close eye on all the systems:: XO: All systems within working parameters, Sir. We are ready for the wormhole.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::turns:: ADM: As in right away? Shall I call her here?
TO_Mikan says:
::looks back from the main viewscreen to his tactical console:: XO: Tactical systems nominal and ready.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Well, we should give her the opportunity to send that message, don't you think?
OPS_Jones says:
XO:  All ready here, Sir.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CEO: Excellent.  How are preparations going on our ruse?
CNS_Selar says:
CTO: Who is next Commander? ::still looking at her pad::
FCO_Toltek says:
XO: All systems functioning within specified parameters sir. Holding course for the wormhole.
CTO_Worthington says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, could you join me in the Observation Lounge for a minute?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::thinks it over:: ADM: Just as confirmation of our suspicions?
TO_Mikan says:
::looks back at the main viewscreen to watch the entrance into the wormhole::
CTO_Worthington says:
CNS: Mr. Terumo.
Host XO_Siatty says:
TO/ OPS/ FCO: Excellent, we'll be going very soon.
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: Well Sir, let's be the hunter, for a change.
SO_Lessing says:
*XO*: Sir...  What happened?
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  That is the only way Rojer.  I will not have it said that she is guilty on my word and reading of her mind alone.
CEO_Terumo says:
*CTO*: On my way.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CEO: My thoughts exactly.
CNS_Selar says:
:;smiles:: CTO: I inferred that since you just called him here.
OPS_Jones says:
::nods::
CEO_Terumo says:
::locks his console and heads for the OL::
Host XO_Siatty says:
*SO*: We're about to enter the wormhole, we could use you on the Bridge.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::starts pacing:: ADM: But how to get her to act? Make a shipwide announcement?
TO_Mikan says:
::runs a level 5 diagnostic on the tactical systems again::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Yes, have everyone come in here for a quick meeting.  Leave the bridge unattended.  That is the only way.
CEO_Terumo says:
::enters the OL:: CTO: I'm at your disposal.
SO_Lessing says:
*XO*: On my way Sir.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::takes a deep breath:: Adm: Sounds like a plan... but what do I say to them? "Good job"?
SO_Lessing says:
::Gets out of bed and has a sonic shower and walks to the closest Turbolift::
CTO_Worthington says:
CEO: Have a seat please. The Counselor and I have a few questions.
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the CEO and smiles as she puts her pad on the table:: CEO: Welcome, Lt.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Yes a good job, and make ready to rescue my daughter.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Excuse the CTO and CNS from the meeting.
CEO_Terumo says:
::smiles and nods at the CNS and sits down:: CTO: Go ahead, then.
CTO_Worthington says:
CNS: Counselor, If you would start please.
Host CO_Lyon says:
ADM: And whomever is with them?
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Sits in the Center Chair.::  FCO: Let's see if we can make it a smooth ride this time.  Last couple of trips through wormholes were more memorable than I'd like.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Correct.
Lt_Rice says:
::moves from one console to the next::
FCO_Toltek says:
XO: Aye sir. I will endeavor to make it so.
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the CTO and smiles:: CEO: What do you know about our current situation, Lt.?
Host XO_Siatty says:
FCO: I'm sure you will.  As soon as we get word from the Captain, take us in.
SO_Lessing says:
::Arrives on the bridge to find very few, if any people there.  Wanders around, looking confused.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
*Senior staff*: Senior staff report to my ready room now. *CTO*: Trent, this excludes you, Ens. Selar and whomever is with you.
CTO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Aye sir. Lt. Terumo is with us.
SO_Lessing says:
::Hears the Comm announcement, goes to ready room::
TO_Mikan says:
::heads for the CO's RR::
OPS_Jones says:
::hears the order and gets up and heads to the Captain's ready room::
Lt_Rice says:
::looks surprised at the opportunity::
FCO_Toltek says:
::waits for his relief to approach then relinquishes control of the helm as he heads to the RR::
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up at the announcement and picks up her overthruster, tucking it into a pocket and looks longingly at the JT entrance, then hops out into the hall, galloping on all fours::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::waits for the senior staff to assemble::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Lt. Rice: You have the Bridge.  We'll return shortly.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Well, I think I know who the good guys and the bad guys are. Basically the same as the rest of the senior officers.
OPS_Jones says:
::enters the ready room and finds a spot::
Lt_Rice says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::walks to the center chair::
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Exits the Bridge and heads towards the Ready Room.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::stands at the head of the table, waiting to address them::
Lt_Rice says:
::waits for the doors to close behind the last person::
EO_Valentine says:
::trots into the RR, plopping down on the floor next to the couch::
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Enters Ready Room, taking spot next to the Captain.::
FCO_Toltek says:
::enters the RR and stands toward the back of the assembled group::
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: Ok, what do you know about the Maquis.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::stands as the doors close:: All: You're wondering why I called you here...
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I want to thank each and everyone of you for the hard work you have put forth.
OPS_Jones says:
::remains standing::
SO_Lessing says:
::Sits in a chair in the Ready Room, still half asleep::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::smiles at the ADM and lets her talk::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Without everyone's hard work, the Cherokee would not have been ready to fly for another 2 weeks.
EO_Valentine says:
::pulls her overthruster out of her pocket and fiddles with it, still listening::
Lt_Rice says:
::glances at the command chair console, the opportunity too great not to use it.::
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Until this all started, I knew very little. Since then, I've come to know that they were colonists that chose to make a stand based on weapons instead of words. An unfortunate choice, I believe.
Lt_Rice says:
::starts tapping in commands, nervously watching the RR doors::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  From what I hear ::glancing at everyone:: the last ride through a wormhole was not a pleasant one, nor was the first ::smiling at her crew::
CNS_Selar says:
CTO: Would you like to continue, sir?
OPS_Jones says:
::grimaces at the mention of the "prophet experience"::
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Smiles, disagreeing in general about the first trip.  Very interesting trip it was...::
CTO_Worthington says:
::stares down at a padd:: CNS: You may continue this interview.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  Hopefully the prophets will see fit to let us pass through this time, and continue with the business at hand.
Lt_Rice says:
::quickly enters the message and hits the send button:: Self: It’s done... ::looks a bit sad::
CNS_Selar says:
CTO: Understood.. CEO: What do you know about Admiral Xavier? ::opens her mind so she can pick up feelings::
SO_Lessing says:
::gazes intently at the Admiral::
Lt_Rice says:
::leans back in the chair, waiting for the senior staff to finish::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  I know it is all our prayers that T'Sara will be on the planet.  Whether she is or not, those people need medical help.  They need help to get their crops ready, and any other help we can offer.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::lets the Admiral talk... its her daughter::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL: I wanted to thank all of you personally. ::nods and turns it over to the Captain::
CEO_Terumo says:
::pauses for a moment to collect his thoughts:: CNS:Well, let's see... I believe some officers aboard the C don't have that much love for her, but there's some background to it. In general, I've gathered she's an effective officer.
EO_Valentine says:
::drops the overthruster and picks it up, grimacing at the grease stain it left on the Captain's nice carpet. Looks around innocently::
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: Do you have any negative feelings towards Admiral Xavier?
CO_Lyon says:
::smiles:: All: All I can do is repeat what the Admiral said... you're doing a good job, and I know you are as committed as I am to get T'Sara back.
TO_Mikan says:
::is anxious to return to his duties and shifts his weight from one foot to the other::
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Despite the fact I almost died last time I was near her, I've decided to let it pass. ::grins:: No counselor, no negative feelings, I assure you.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  Suddenly a warning beeper goes off.  The communication system has been used.
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Looks to the Captain.::  CO: Sir, it's happening.
SO_Lessing says:
::Grabs his tricorder and looks intently at it::
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: I believe you Lt. ::smiles:: CEO: Now I would like you to tell me what you know about Admiral Alexander and her daughter..
Host CO_Lyon says:
::glances at Tach and then at the Admiral:: XO: So it is... All: Our meeting is concluded.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::shakes her head sadly.., wishing it were not so::
SO_Lessing says:
XO, CO: The outgoing signal originates from the bridge, Sir.
TO_Mikan says:
<SEC> *TO*: Ensign Mikan, I have detected an unauthorized communication.
Host CO_Lyon says:
FCO: Take us through the wormhole when you get back to the bridge, and take us on your flight path.
EO_Valentine says:
::tucks her overthruster back in her pocket and hops out to the TL::
TO_Mikan says:
::heads out of the RR to the bridge:: *SEC*: Understood. Can you identify the source?
Host CO_Lyon says:
SO: Acknowledged. XO: Send her to me...
FCO_Toltek says:
CO: Aye sir. ::leaves the RR and resumes his seat at the helm::
OPS_Jones says:
::returns to her post::
TO_Mikan says:
::goes to the tactical station:: <SEC> *TO*: No sir. Working on it.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Wishing his guesses wouldn't have been so close, heads to the Bridge.::
SO_Lessing says:
::Takes up his science station::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Lt. Rice: Lieutenant, the Captain needs to see you in his Ready Room.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: There's a lot to say about the subject, but I think what you want to know is that I have the utmost respect for the Admiral and I'd follow her to battle anytime. As to her daughter, she's one more innocent victim of the Maquis.
Lt_Rice says:
::sees the senior staff return and gets up:: XO: Nothing to report, sir.
TO_Mikan says:
::begins to try and trace the origin of the comm signal::
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: Thank you Lt. ::looks at the CTO:: CTO: Any questions you would like to add, Commander?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::goes to sit behind his desk:: Adm: I wish we were wrong.
EO_Valentine says:
::trots down to hall to ME::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO: It had to be done Rojer... we had to know for sure.
Lt_Rice says:
::blinks:: XO: Aye, sir. ::walks to the RR doors and rings the chime::
FCO_Toltek says:
::taps on his console and changes the C's course to his alternate plan, sending the data to OPS also::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::hears the chime and sighs:: Rice: Enter.
CTO_Worthington says:
CNS: Just one. CEO: Do you think Main Engineering will continue to be a security danger or have you gotten things straightened out down there?
Host XO_Siatty says:
~~~Adm: Let me know if he's allright.~~~
Lt_Rice says:
::walks into the RR, not sure what to expect::
Host XO_Siatty says:
All: Let's take her in, keep alert.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~XO: No, he is not all right Tach... he will never be all right after this betrayal.~~~
EO_Valentine says:
::hops back into her chair and spins around a few times::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::gets up from behind his desk:: Rice: Jean... please take a seat.
FCO_Toltek says:
::brings the ship about and slows down as he brings it into the wormhole:: XO: Entering the wormhole now sir.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee begins to enter the wormhole.
OPS_Jones says:
::notices the data coming from the FCO, but not acknowledging it::
CEO_Terumo says:
CTO: Commander, you and I both now that you can only try to make it as difficult as possible, but if someone knows enough and tries hard enough, he'll get through security.
Host XO_Siatty says:
~~~Adm: You know what I mean, I should be there.  Bad timing.  I'll keep you informed as to our progress.~~~
Lt_Rice says:
::suddenly feels nervous:: CO: Sir? ::hesitantly sits down::
SO_Lessing says:
::Scans for anomalies within the wormhole:: XO: The wormhole appears to be stable and conforming to standard appearances Sir, no prophets standing by to whisk us off.
Host XO_Siatty says:
FCO: Very good, let's hope the Prophets are otherwise occupied.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~XO: Acknowledged Tach... he will need you more than ever now.  This is not an easy thing to handle.~~~
Host XO_Siatty says:
SO: Thanks.  Keep an eye on things out there.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::glances over at the Admiral:: Rice: I only have one question for you.
TO_Mikan says:
::taps his console:: *Security*: Double the security teams in areas Alpha and Gamma.
CEO_Terumo says:
::feels the ship starting to shake from the added structural stress of the wormhole::
CTO_Worthington says:
CEO: I am sure you will do what you can. You may go now.
EO_Valentine says:
Self: ack! ::falls off her chair, looks around warily and climbs back up into it and gets back to work on her overthruster::
CNS_Selar says:
CEO; Good day, Lt. ::smiles::
Lt_Rice says:
CO: What would that be, sir? ::wiping her hands on her pants::
FCO_Toltek says:
::monitors the readings from the engines as he slightly alters course to keep the C steady::
Host XO_Siatty says:
TO: Keep your crews on Alert, I think the trap may be ready.
CEO_Terumo says:
CTO/CNS: Thank you, gentlemen. ::rises and heads for his console on the bridge::
OPS_Jones says:
::has faith that Toltek can get the ship through in one piece::
TO_Mikan says:
XO: Aye sirrrr.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::turns away, walking behind his desk again:: Rice: Why? Why have you done this to me? To Trish...
Lt_Rice says:
::tries the innocent approach:: CO: Why what, sir? ::puts on a puzzled expression::
TO_Mikan says:
*Security*: All teams on alerrrt. Be Rrready forrr anything. The trrrap is set.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee crew now are now faced by the Prophets again. All is white around them.  The only exception is the CO and Jean Rice.
Host CO_Lyon says:
Rice: Don't play games with me, Jean... I have the message you sent from MY CHAIR right here!
Lt_Rice says:
::goes pale:: CO: Uhm... I... ::stops talking for a moment:: I did it for my brother.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rice:  Jean, we know it is you.  Why did you do this?  I can't believe you are a traitor.
Host XO_Siatty says:
<Prophet Shania> XO: You are changed, yet the same.  So Linear.  Have you found what you sought?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::shakes with tightly controlled fury:: Rice: Jean... ::gives up and waves at her to explain::
CEO_Terumo says:
::as he was sitting down everything has turned white and a now familiar feeling takes over and a soft but firm voice is behind him:: <Prophet Gamela> CEO: Welcome again.
OPS_Jones says:
::finds herself back in a white room like area that has no end and no beginning, she calls out::  Prophets:  What do you need now?
Host XO_Siatty says:
::A bit surprised by the form.::  Prophet Shania: We found it, but it slipped away again.  We have returned to try again.
CTO_Worthington says:
<Prophet> CTO: Curious. You are still full of the hate? Why is this? ::the Prophet appears in the form of the late, great Admiral Worthington II::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rice: Jean, what does your brother have to do with this?
EO_Valentine says:
::closes her eyes at the stark whiteness, trying not to vomit. Hears a barking behind her:: self: Ein?
SO_Lessing says:
<Prophet Doris> SO: You have not yet outgrown the bitterness towards your male progenitor.  Have you not learned that bitterness prevents you from learning?
Lt_Rice says:
::looks scared, ashamed and slightly proud:: CO/Adm: I did it because I owed my brother too much, not to give him the information when he approached me more than a year ago.
TO_Mikan says:
<Prophet K'Rellis> TO: Why did you leave Ferasa?
CEO_Terumo says:
::regains his balance and stands, turning::Prophet Gamela: Ah, the Prophets. We meet again, I see. What puzzle do you bring me this time?
CNS_Selar says:
<Pophet Mark> CNS: I see that you feel not accepted. You feel different.
SO_Lessing says:
::Fighting Panic, bowing as if towards a deity:: Prophet Doris: I confess I still have weaknesses...  but I feel that these... flaws are what make me truly human.
Lt_Rice says:
::turns to the Adm:: ADM: He's one of the last Maquis out there... they needed to do something to get attention. The war wasn't over.
CTO_Worthington says:
Prophet: I do not know. Why have you taken me to this place again? I want to leave!
Host XO_Siatty says:
<Prophet Shania>: XO: Yes, you seem to not understand part of your linear existence.  Will not accept when to stop.  Is this form part of that flaw?
TO_Mikan says:
<Prophet K'Rellis> TO: You are of the Mikan are you not? Why have you abandoned your oath?
EO_Valentine says:
::turns around to see the little dog behind her:: Prophet: Ein? What are you doing here?
SO_Lessing says:
<Prophet Doris> SO: Bitterness is not necessarily a flaw in of itself.  Failing to understand why it is there, and move beyond it is.
TO_Mikan says:
Prophet K'Rellis: I have not abandoned my oath. I have done what was my destiny.
SO_Lessing says:
Prophet Doris: I am not sure I understand
CNS_Selar says:
::jumps back and looks at a man that looks like her bother:: Mark: Mark! Is that you. :;senses his presence:: Mark: Who are you?
CO_Lyon says:
::can't believe his ears:: Rice: Attention? By kidnapping an innocent child?!
EO_Valentine says:
<Prophet Ein> Valentine: Silence small one!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
Rice:  Jean, the Maquis are no longer... these people are criminals... how could you condone stealing a child?
Host XO_Siatty says:
Prophet Shania: Yes, that form is part of the trait, but I don't consider it a flaw.  I don't give up on a just cause.  And this is a just cause, one that can not fail.
CEO_Terumo says:
<Prophet Gamela>CEO: A puzzle? ... Oh, I see, when you understand the sounds but not the music. Not this time. Tell me, what have you learned since we last met?
TO_Mikan says:
<Prophet K'Rellis> TO: You are here, are you not?
EO_Valentine says:
::makes a face:: Ein: You silly dog! Play nice!
CTO_Worthington says:
<Prophet> CTO: You are still full of the hate, That is why you are here. The Kosta Modjin was full of hate. Are you the same?
Lt_Rice says:
Adm: They might be criminals to you, but one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. I did it because I felt I had to.
SO_Lessing says:
<Prophet Doris> SO: Then you have learned nothing.  For which, I have only this to say: "The way that is called the way is not the true Way."
CNS_Selar says:
<Prophet Mark> CNS: Well you have me all figured out....Why are you serving aboard the Cherokee..what is your purpose?
OPS_Jones says:
<Prophet Steven>   OPS:  Why have you returned here?
TO_Mikan says:
Prophet K'Rellis: Yes. But I love Ferasa. I have not abandoned my home. How can you be here?
SO_Lessing says:
Prophet Doris: I have read that somewhere before...  In ancient Earth Religious texts.
CTO_Worthington says:
Prophet: I do not know of what you speak. Return me to my ship!
TO_Mikan says:
<Prophet K'Rellis> TO: I have always been here.
Host XO_Siatty says:
<Prophet Shania>: XO: Does being just mean it cannot fail?
CNS_Selar says:
Mark: What is my job? I am the Counselor. But why is that important?
FCO_Toltek says:
<Prophet Sharpok> ::raises his hand in a Vulcan salute to Toltek:: FCO: You continue your search for knowledge Toltek. Do you consider this the most logical course to your own understanding?
EO_Valentine says:
<Prophet> ::growls:: Valentine: Foolish child, why do you seek comfort  in this cold sterile environment? Go home! It is where you belong. You will never fit in here, stupid child.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Prophet Shania: No, but this one cannot.  A child is deprived of it's mother, and a mother of it's child.
SO_Lessing says:
<Prophet Doris>SO:  Yes.  It is a phrase drawn from your own mind.  It seems to be what you need to learn, still.  That those things which you most profoundly accept to be true, are not what they appear to be.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::slumps in his chair:: Adm: I don't want to hear anything else... Rice: You are under arrest for treason. You will be held in the brig until we return to Federation space.
TO_Mikan says:
<Prophet K'Rellis> TO: It is you that has come to me.
CNS_Selar says:
<Prophet Mark> CNS: Well it seems like you should be on Earth, not onboard a starship...do you think you are fit to serve aboard a starship?
SO_Lessing says:
Prophet Doris: I get that, but I also have duties and obligations to fulfill.  Return me to my ship!
CTO_Worthington says:
<Prophet> CTO: If you are the same as the Kosta Modjin, then you will be vanquished, This was spoken of during the Reckoning.
Host XO_Siatty says:
<Prophet Shania>: XO: But what is done is done.  It is the nature of a linear existence.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  I understand Rojer.  Jean, you have left us no choice.  When we return you will be held for court-martial.
Lt_Rice says:
::looks surprised:: CO: But Rojer! You can't.
OPS_Jones says:
::noticing an image of her father approaching::  Prophet Steven:  We are returning to a planet that we have been to in order to rescue a child.
EO_Valentine says:
::sniffles:: Ein: You're a mean dog! Go away!
TO_Mikan says:
Prophet K'Rellis: Mikan Motherrr, how can you tell me this? I am honorable.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at her with pity:: Rice: You lost the right to call me that, Lt.
CNS_Selar says:
Mark: Of course I should be serving aboard a starship. I have always wanted to.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Prophet Shania: But it's also the nature of a linear existence that we have some control, real or imagined, of the direction of the line.
CTO_Worthington says:
Prophet: I do not understand. Why do you feel the need to meddle in our affairs?
FCO_Toltek says:
::raises an eyebrow at the image of his dead master:: Sharpok: The search for knowledge takes infinite forms due to infinite diversity in those who seek it. The real Sharpok would not have asked such a question because it was he that taught me the answer.
SO_Lessing says:
<Prophet Doris>SO: Perhaps you have learned more than I thought.....  Shortly.
Lt_Rice says:
::doesn't try to leave, just sitting there, knowing its over::
Host XO_Siatty says:
<Prophet Shania>: XO: Is that what is happening over there?  Have their two lines crossed?
TO_Mikan says:
<Prophet K'Rellis> TO: You are of the Mikan Clan. You are a Protector. Have you sworn to protect those around you now?
OPS_Jones says:
<Prophet Steven> OPS:  You didn't adhere to the clues that was presented to you.  If you had, the child you seek would be where you are.
CNS_Selar says:
<Prophet Mark> CNS: I think you care more about your self image then your work. Look at yourself, your hair is so neatly combed and you are all made up...you only care about your appearance.
SO_Lessing says:
<Prophet Doris> SO: Shortly in your limited idea of time, that is.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Prophet Shania: In a way, I didn't say the line was in our total control.
TO_Mikan says:
Prophet K'Rellis: Yes I have. It is my duty.
CEO_Terumo says:
Gamela: I didn't think the Prophets were this interested in us. But I've learned a lot, specially the value of truth and friendship.
EO_Valentine says:
::cries:: Ein: Ein, you're a bad doggie! bad bad doggie!
CEO_Terumo says:
<Prophet Gamela>CEO: Oh, very well. Very interesting.
FCO_Toltek says:
<Prophet Sharpok> FCO: You will find what you seek in time by helping others find what they seek as well.
CNS_Selar says:
Mark: What! If I wasn't good at my work I wouldn't be aboard the Cherokee. I would be aboard another smaller ship. But I am not. So I am a good officer!
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The prophets begin to fade... the Cherokee begins to emerge into normal space once more.
Host CO_Lyon says:
*TO*: Ensign, come to my ready room, and bring two security personnel with you. ::unaware that they had gone through the wormhole::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The prophets once again, leave the crew with more questions than answers.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Shania Prophet: It's....uh, All: Report!  Are we through?
SO_Lessing says:
::Staggers a little, confused by the sudden transition::
TO_Mikan says:
*CO*: Aye sir.
OPS_Jones says:
::is about to respond to what the image of her father said when everything suddenly the Prophets faded and went back to normal::
EO_Valentine says:
::wipes her tears:: self: Stupid dog. ::returns to work on her overthruster::
OPS_Jones says:
XO: That appears so, Sir.
CNS_Selar says:
::appears back in the OL and looks confused as ever::
TO_Mikan says:
::motions for two security officers to follow him and enters the CO's RR:: CO: Sir? ::looks at Lt. Rice::
FCO_Toltek says:
::checks the instrument readings and checks the C's spatial positioning:: XO: We are through, sir.
CTO_Worthington says:
::sits in his chair, trying to contain the rage he feels inside of him::
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Drops hard into the Command Chair.::  Self:  I gotta stop doing these trips.
CNS_Selar says:
CTO: Are you ok Commander? ::looks at the CTO feeling his rage::
Host CO_Lyon says:
TO_Smith: Lt. Rice is under arrest for treason. Escort her to the brig, where she will remain until we return to Federation space. ::face impassive::
CEO_Terumo says:
::trips in a chair just appearing behind him, and almost falls to the floor::Self: What...? We're back!
Host XO_Siatty says:
FCO: Take us to Narmanon.  TO: Bring us to Yellow Alert for the trip.
Lt_Rice says:
::quietly gets up and goes with the security personnel, knows nothing she says will redeem her::
TO_Mikan says:
::growls at Lt. Rice showing his canines:: Lt. Rice: Come with me. ::pauses a second:: And please try to run. I would enjoy it very much.
CTO_Worthington says:
CNS: I am fine Counselor. You may leave at your discretion. I believe the interviews have succeeded in their goals. ::continues to try to supress the rage::
CEO_Terumo says:
::pulls up a systems diagnostic on his console:: XO: Everything appears to be ok, Sir.
Lt_Rice says:
::gives the TO a blank look, already retreated into her own world::
CNS_Selar says:
CTO: I feel extreme rage in you..What is wrong?
TO_Mikan says:
::grabs Lt. Rice's arm and escorts her out of the RR followed by the two sec officers::
FCO_Toltek says:
XO: Aye sir. Instituting alternate course Alpha. ::inputs the secret course into the helm and engages the warp engines taking the C to warp 6::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::goes to stand by the window, not looking as his friend leaves under guard::
SO_Lessing says:
::Stares blankly at his console, trying to figure out his mother/the Prophet meant by all of that::
Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO: Rojer, I think it would be a good idea to com the entire crew.  They have the right to know. ::walking over, she puts her hand on his shoulder::
CTO_Worthington says:
CNS: No offense Counselor, but that is none of your concern. ::rises and exits the OL::
Lt_Rice says:
::puts up with the roughish handling, trying to avoid the looks from the bridge crew::
CEO_Terumo says:
*Main Engineering*: Full systems report, please.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CEO: Take the Bridge.  I need to see the Captain.  Keep your eyes open, the trap has been set with the bait.
CTO_Worthington says:
::pushing the door chime on the ready room::
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the CTO leave and thinks that it is her concern since she is the counselor..but she exits the OL and walks to her chair on the bridge and sits down::
TO_Mikan says:
::escorts Rice onto the TL:: TL: Deck 5. ::growls at Rice::
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: Aye, Sir.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at her:: ADM: Yes... but I will do it from the bridge. ::walks out of his RR, nearly running Tach down::
EO_Valentine says:
::looks up:: *CEO* We're okay-dokie down here, sir ::grins::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Sir, I was just coming to see you.
Lt_Rice says:
::gives the TO the same blank look::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: As was I.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
::sighs and thinks she should retire to her quarters... walking slowly out of the RR and to the TL::
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Thanks, Tach... I just need to make this announcement. ::walks over to his chair and sits down heavily::
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Looks the Captain over.::  CO: It can wait until you are ready.  Self: That's the whole point.
CEO_Terumo says:
*EO*: Very well. Try to keep it that way, please.
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the CO sitting next to her and feels a lot of mixed emotions coming from him right now..she now knows what had happened so she sits quietly::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::takes a deep breath:: OPS: Open a ship-wide channel please.
EO_Valentine says:
*CEO* Yes sir!
CEO_Terumo says:
Self: Why do these Prophets things always leave me feeling turned inside out?
TO_Mikan says:
::arrives on Deck 5 and escorts Rice to cell 1 and pushes her in maybe a little too hard then activates the force field::
CTO_Worthington says:
::feels the rage grow as the CO ignores his presence and returns to his station::
OPS_Jones says:
CO:  Aye, Sir. ::opens a ship-wide channel::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at Trent:: CTO: I'll be with you in a moment.
CNS_Selar says:
::feels the rage grow in the CTO and keeps monitoring him hoping that he won't do anything questionable::
TO_Mikan says:
*CO*: The prisoner is secured sir.
Host CO_Lyon says:
*ALL*: Attention all hands. As of today Lt. Rice is under arrest for treason. We found our mole.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: ::Whispered.::  Happened again?  The Prophets?
EO_Valentine says:
::listens to the Captain's announcement and crosses her arms across her chest:: Self: But I found the mole
CTO_Worthington says:
::ignores the XO as he continues to try and suppress his rage::
OPS_Jones says:
::is saddened and relieved about that announcement::
Host CO_Lyon says:
*All*: This matter is closed for the time being and will be handed over to SFC when we return. Captain out.
SO_Lessing says:
::Comes out of daze, listens to Captain with astonishment:: Self: But...  The Prophet....  was she real?
Host XO_Siatty says:
~~~CNS: Keep an eye on them, the Captain and Commander Worthington.  I'm not sure which is more disturbed right now.  Best guess is the Commander.~~~
Host CO_Lyon says:
::turns to Trent:: CTO: You wanted to speak to me? ::looks calm::
CNS_Selar says:
~~~XO: Understood, Sir. They both seemed very disturbed~~~
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: If you have a second, in private.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::nods:: CTO: By all means... my ready room. XO: You have the bridge. ::walks off::
CTO_Worthington says:
::walks over and enters the RR, trying to act naturally::
Host XO_Siatty says:
~~~CNS: I've seen Commander Worthington like this before. Keep your mind on him while he's with the Captain.~~~
Host CO_Lyon says:
::sits behind his desk:: CTO: Please, sit down.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Aye sir.
CNS_Selar says:
::keeps her mind open still monitoring the CTO and CO::
FCO_Toltek says:
::returns his attention to the helm::
EO_Valentine says:
::hits the "start" button on her overthruster, seeing if it works::
TO_Mikan says:
::heads back to his office and sits at his desk and writes up his report::
Host XO_Siatty says:
SO: Keep the Long Range Sensors on the lookout for any blips on the edge of sensor range.
CNS_Selar says:
~~~XO: Yes, I just hope they don't do anything that they will regret. I might request a session with the CTO and CO to see how the feel and such~~~
CTO_Worthington says:
::has a seat:: CO: I think we can discontinue the interviews. I believe they caused the proper distraction you wanted.
SO_Lessing says:
XO: Aye Sir.
Host XO_Siatty says:
FCO: ETA to Narmanon?
CEO_Terumo says:
::feels saddened by the announcement but relieved:: Self: Now, on to catch the Maquis.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO: I agree... and thanks, you did a great job. ::frowns a little:: You look tense.
FCO_Toltek says:
XO: 3 hours until we drop from warp on the far side of the system sir.
EO_Valentine says:
::opens her eyes and looks at the blinking lights on the overthruster:: self: Oooooo it works ::grins::
Host XO_Siatty says:
FCO: Very good.
SO_Lessing says:
::Snaps out of his daze, pays close attention to his console::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: I must admit, I know you had your reasons, but you could have told me about Lt. Rice. Alpha team had her pigeonholed about a week ago.
TO_Mikan says:
::assigns two officers to man the brig and heads to the bridge::
Host XO_Siatty says:
OPS: Keep an ear on subspace channels.  We're under comm blackout, but let's hope the Maquis need to coordinate.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::nods:: CTO: I know, and I should have, but this was something I had to do for myself... you know how long she and I served together. I wanted nothing less.
CNS_Selar says:
~~~XO: With your approval I would like to have a session with the CTO, even if he disagrees.~~~
OPS_Jones says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  OPS hears a signal but it is too far to decipher.
CNS_Selar says:
::crosses her legs and grabs her console from the side and moves it in front of her. she then taps a few buttons looking over some things.::
Host XO_Siatty says:
~~~CNS: Take it carefully.  Last time he was like this he wasn't exactly willing~~~  ::Rubs neck in memory.
OPS_Jones says:
::continues to monitor the subspace for signals but hears a faint one::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: This may be of some use to you. It is the Lieutenant's actions and whereabouts from the last few days. Alpha team put it together for you. I must admit, it was pretty ingenious having undercover officers on the Cherokee.
CNS_Selar says:
~~~XO: I could always make it a medical order if it might endanger himself or others.~~~
TO_Mikan says:
::arrives on the bridge and goes to the tactical station::
CEO_Terumo says:
::taps his console to check that the decoy program is in place::
OPS_Jones says:
XO:  Sir?  I picked up a very faint signal.  However, it can't be pinpointed because it's too far away.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::smiles:: CTO: Yeah... that was inspired of you.
Host XO_Siatty says:
~~~CNS: It's your safety I'm concerned for.  I'm speaking from experience.~~~
Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  As the TO walks up to his console, a blip is seen.
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: In addition, we will continue current security measures for a little while longer, if you concur.
Host XO_Siatty says:
OPS: Very good.  Keep an ear on it, let me know if it gets stronger.
CNS_Selar says:
~~~XO: Understood sir. Maybe I should take a security team with me when I do so.~~~ ::sarcastically speaking::
OPS_Jones says:
XO:  Well do.
EO_Valentine says:
::wonders if she could "borrow" a shuttle and decides against it::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::sighs:: CTO: Ok, do it. Who knows... there might even be another one we don't know of... ::wishes he didn't utter the thought.::
SO_Lessing says:
::notices a distant blip on his console, still thinking Deep Thoughts::
TO_Mikan says:
XO: There is something on sensors.
Host XO_Siatty says:
~~~CNS: Make it happen.  Trust me, this isn't a good time to push unaided.~~~
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the SO who looks like he is not paying attention so she sends a message to his console telling him to wake up::
OPS_Jones says:
::as she still monitors the channels, she hears a second signal::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: I agree. Alpha team has a few other suspects they would like to keep a watch on. I have that list if you want it.
Host XO_Siatty says:
TO: Report.  What to we have?
CNS_Selar says:
~~~XO: Understood sir. I just hope he won't get angry at me..he needs the session as well as the CO~~~
SO_Lessing says:
TO: I have it also. Very distant though....
Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO: Send it to my console, I'll look it over later. Anything else?
OPS_Jones says:
XO:  Sir, there is another signal, it is a faint signal just like the other one.  We are still too far away to hear anything that is being said.
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: That is it for now. I'll keep you updated.
TO_Mikan says:
XO: Sensorrrs arrre picking up a shadow. Too farrr away to tell. I am trrrying to figurrre it out now sirrr.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::smiles:: CTO: Thanks Trent... for everything.
Host XO_Siatty says:
TO: Red Alert, but keep the weapons on hot standby.  Don't want to tip our hand too early.
EO_Valentine says:
::hooks up her overthruster to the main computer and runs a level 1 diagnostic::
Host XO_Siatty says:
*CO/ CTO*: We may have a Vole sniffing at our cheese.
TO_Mikan says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Activates red alert and puts shields up and readies phasers::
CTO_Worthington says:
::rises:: CO: I am sorry things happened the way they did. ::leaves the rr and returns to his station::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::hears the red alert and smiles at Tach's comm:: *XO*: On our way. ::gets up and walks to the bridge.::
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the CTO return and looks back at the XO:: ~~~XO: He looks tense, very tense~~~
Host CO_Lyon says:
::enters the bridge:: XO: Report.
CEO_Terumo says:
::hears the conversation about the distant signal and taps his fingers on the console, anxsious::
OPS_Jones says:
::has a feeling that this isn't going to go smoothly::
FCO_Toltek says:
XO: Sir, we could increase speed to throw them off. They may still be under the impression we are going straight to the planet.
EO_Valentine says:
::plays solitaire on her console, waiting for her diagnostic to finish::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Picking up a blip at the edge of sensor range.  Multiple comm signals detected also. We just went to Red Alert.
SO_Lessing says:
::Being intense.  Trying to clarify the scan of the distant ship.::
CTO_Worthington says:
::hears the XO's report and feels like hitting something::
Lt_Sparrow says:
*CO*: Captain, a word with you as soon as possible, please. ::emotion quite evident in his voice::
CNS_Selar says:
::notices the CTO's feelings again and starts to write a request for a session with him::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::nods at Tach:: *Sparrow*: As soon as this current crisis is over, Andrew. My quarters. I'll call you. ::dreads that conversation::
