Host SM-Trish says:
USS Cherokee 10211.24 Ring World Part 2
Host SM-Trish says:
The Cherokee crew are now on the Ring World and have discovered it is vacant of human life.
Host SM-Trish says:
From above the Cherokee has discovered an underground complex with the only entrance to it in a building in the middle of a large city.
Host SM-Trish says:
The crew has now beamed in to investigate the circular building, hoping to find answers to their questions of why it is empty.

CNS_Selar says:
::with the CEO looking around the building, wondering what exactly it is::
Host XO_Siatty says:
::In room, scanning with Tricorder, trying to empathically sense anyone around inside.::
EO_Valentine says:
::looks down at her tricorder as it beeps and looks around for the rest of the crew::
CMO_Brabas says:
::He is standing with his tricorder in hand. He is taking close scans of the environment. Through his mind is passing thought that there is not any traces of residuals on the surface. He pulls out his worried face. He turns around and looks at EO::  EO: What do you make of this?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::wanders towards the center of the building, looking around and scanning with his tricorder::
CEO_Terumo says:
::scanning the furthest wall of the building, along with the CNS::
CTO_Worthington says:
::standing next to Tach, wondering if they will be receiving a welcome party::
TO_Mikan says:
::looks around the room using his acute senses of sight and hearing as he follows the CO closely::
CNS_Selar says:
::has her tricorder holstered as she uses her mind to scan around::
FCO_Barak says:
:: Near the CSO scanning an entrance with the Tricorder. ::
OPS_Jones says:
@::sitting in the "Big Chair" on the Cherokee Bridge, waiting for what seems like an eternity for word from anyone on the AT::
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Anything?
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: This is like a big Holodeck program, one before the inhabitants are created.
EO_Valentine says:
CMO: Of what? ::leans over to look at his tricorder::
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: How is the big chair, ma'am?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::taps his badge:: *OPS*: Lyon to Jones.
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Maybe they are in hiding, observing us.
FCO_Barak says:
CSO: No unusual reading Sir. :: Looks at the CSO. ::
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  Not my style.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: Or maybe we're looking at it all wrong.  What if this isn't abandoned, what if it's not inhabited yet?
CNS_Selar says:
::looks over at the CEO:: CEO: Not yet, I am hoping to soon though. This place is just strange.
OPS_Jones says:
@*CO*:  Yes, Captain, I'm here.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Walks along with the FCO.:: FCO: Let me know if we even pick up the slightest blip. Hopefully we won't find anything that will cause us too many problems.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to scan for any type of life-form reading:: EO: That is an accurate answer. There is nothing, way too much of nothing!
Host CO_Lyon says:
*OPS*: Anything new on sensors?
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: What do you mean by "not your style" ma'am?
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: I mean, what if this is a, well, showroom?  Like a new vehicle lot?
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Fascinating. But would they not leave their new home protected?
EO_Valentine says:
::nods:: CMO: I know, It's creepy huh?
FCO_Barak says:
CSO: Aye Sir, but this is all very strange.
OPS_Jones says:
@*CO*:  Nothing new, just lots of empty spaces.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::walks further into the building, looking at his tricorder.:: *OPS*: Understood. Let me know if you find something else.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: If it's not inhabited yet, not much to defend.
CNS_Selar says:
::taps combadge:: XO: Selar to Commander Siatty.
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  I mean it's not for me, leave it at that.
CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Agreed. Very unusual that this was created, and we can't find anyone to take the credit for it.
OPS_Jones says:
@*CO*:  Understood, Captain.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: This wall is completely even, on a molecular level... It is as if it was created all at once and in place...
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: So what’s to stop someone from just setting up residence here?
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: Understood, ma'am.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CNS: Yes Counselor?  Find anything?
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: Not only that. ::he again makes worried face:: there is nothing wrong but still there is this complex. Hmmm.
Host CO_Lyon says:
*OPS*: Lyon out. ::stops and looks up again:: XO: Tach!
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Yes sir?
EO_Valentine says:
::hands shake with nervousness and she drops her tricorder:: Self: Ooops. ::kneels down to pick it up::
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  OPS:  What do you suppose is down there that can't be picked on our sensors?
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: Strange, this whole place is.  XO: Have you been able to sense anything?
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: I don't know.  My wife and parents are the merchants.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He looks at EO::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::look to where his exec is standing:: XO: What do you make of this? ::includes Trent in his question.::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CNS: Not a thing.
OPS_Jones says:
@Calhoun:  Deena, If I knew that, I would be the first one to tell the away team what to expect.
EO_Valentine says:
::taps her tricorder:: Self: silly thing. ::grins at the CMO::
CEO_Terumo says:
EO: Have you found any aging in your scans?
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: Don't worry Miss Valentine, this is nothing.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO/ CTO: Too early to say, but what if this place is some kind or item for sale?  Planet's to order?
FCO_Barak says:
:: Keeps scanning the room ::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: I think that they are hiding somewhere, sir. The question is doe we find then or do they find us?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::turns slightly:: TO: You are allowed to voice opinions, Ronik... in fact, I insist. ::smiles::
EO_Valentine says:
::thinks her tricorder:: CEO: Not sure yet Boss.
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  OPS:  Yes, Ma'am, I'm going to still monitor everything around them.
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the texture off the wall:: Self: This whole thing is just confusing..
CSO_Nash says:
:: Continues to scan keeping the rest of the group in sight.::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO: I don't think there is anybody here.
TO_Mikan says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Yes sirrr. ::starts to say something but them stays silent.::
OPS_Jones says:
@Calhoun:  I'd expect nothing less from you.
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: Do you have any idea where the gravitational pull is coming from?
OPS_Jones says:
@::turns to Henderson::  Henderson:  What do you think of the situation down there?
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: Actually, if it was for sale, then getting rid of a few salesmen or guards would be far easier than getting rid of an entire population.
EO_Valentine says:
::shakes her head:: CMO: Isn't this thingee rotating?
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: Well, in my opinion it is weird. A race just left without taking a thing. Who would do such a thing?
CMO_Brabas says:
EO: Beats me, I am only a Doctor. ::Smiles::
CEO_Terumo says:
::keeps scanning the materials used to construct the building::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO/XO: Perhaps the main civilization lives underground? Maybe the topside is the showroom.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::turns a full circle with his tricorder bleeping away:: Self: Interesting. ::walks over to a seemingly blank wall::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins to scan the surrounding flora and fauna as well as the materials used to build the ring for approximate age.::
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  Unknown, this has a familiar ring to me but I can't seem to place my finger on it.
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: Have there been any scans of bio-signs anywhere?
EO_Valentine says:
::grins at the CMO and continues to think on her tricorder:: Self: Ahh, there ya go. ::continues her scans::
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: Or it may not be that many beings.  Perhaps just a few.  That would explain why we can't find any signs of them.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::stops in front of the wall:: All: I think I found something!
FCO_Barak says:
:: puts the tricorder down and starts touching the walls, trying to feel something unusual. ::
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: We haven't detected anything on our scans, but from what I'm getting here, I'd say there's a lot of places our scans don't penetrate.
EO_Valentine says:
::tilts her head and looks at the Captain::
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Perhaps house sitters? ::looks over at the CO::
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: It is just weird, and then all of the senior staff leaving to investigate, isn't that dangerous?
FCO_Barak says:
:: looks at the Captain ::
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: What could prevent out scans though?
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: After all, couldn't the...  CO: What is it?
CNS_Selar says:
::hears the CO and looks over to him::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks at the scan data and grimaces.:: Self: Looks like it was built yesterday. CO: I have tried scans to determine age, and it appears that this structure could have been built yesterday. Now isn't that odd?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at his tricorder:: XO: There is a large room behind this wall. ::touches the wall::
CMO_Brabas says:
::He moves toward the CO and scans for any trace of life forms::
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  Everything we do in Starfleet is dangerous, just got to know when to pick the right danger spot to investigate.  ::realizes as soon as she said it, it made no sense to her::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CSO: Very odd indeed.
CTO_Worthington says:
CO/XO: Maybe we should knock?
TO_Mikan says:
::looks at the wall for any type of access way::
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: But the senior staff is valuable, they shouldn't have all left. Especially the Captain.
EO_Valentine says:
::trots over to the CO and touches the smooth wall:: Self: I don't like this....it's creepy.
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: Shall we go to the Captain?
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Careful, sir.  Just because we don't see anyone doesn't mean no one is behind the wall.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Although these would seem pretty standard materials, the way they've been used to build this structure is foreign to us. I'd say whomever built this took care to shield some areas from outside interference.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::moves along the wall, his hand touching it the whole time::
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Hey, that's my motto.
Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  As the Captain places his hand on the door it opens, revealing an elevator large enough to hold 200 people.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Aye. ::starts walking towards the CO::
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  OPS:  What if there is a dimensional rift and we aren't meant to know what is going on in that structure?
CNS_Selar says:
::walks over to the CO:: CO: Interesting, how did you know this was here, sir?
FCO_Barak says:
:: moves closer to the CSO :: CSO: Look...
TO_Mikan says:
::steps in front of the CO and into the room ready for action::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::quickly pulls his hand back as first a crack appears that rapidly opens to reveal a large space:: All: One can easily fit 200 people in here. ::looks fascinated::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO/XO: Fascinating. Bigger than the lifts on SB 917.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: Guess you found the way to say "Open Sesame" on this world.
OPS_Jones says:
@Calhoun:  Good question, now all we need is an answer or several.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks at where the FCO is looking.:: FCO: Very interesting.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Begins to scan for any energy readings or any trace of DNA::
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  ::nods at OPS::
FCO_Barak says:
All: Should we go in?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::chuckles:: XO: So it seems... touch me. ::moves around Ronik and peers into the elevator. Turns with a large smile:: All: Going down?
TO_Mikan says:
::relaxes a bit as it is empty::
EO_Valentine says:
Self: Too creepy. ::reaches for the small gold cross around her neck and says a quick prayer::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins scanning the opening.::
CNS_Selar says:
::walks over to the CO but waits to enter the elevator:: CO: After you, sir.
Host XO_Siatty says:
FCO: In a minute, let's not be too hasty.  I'd like to know where we're going before we figure out how to say "Computer: Deck whatever."
CTO_Worthington says:
CO: I'm going if you are, sir. 
CEO_Terumo says:
::moves forward and starts scanning the elevator platform:: EO: I can't seem to pinpoint the power source feeding this platform. Any luck on your side?
Host CO_Lyon says:
TO: Want to have a look first?
CMO_Brabas says:
XO: I wold like to recommend an environmental suit or better scans of the inner structure sir. ::He walks in::
EO_Valentine says:
CEO: Nothing Boss.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Moves up with the rest. Awaiting the order to enter if it is given.::
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: I still don't like this. We have no clue what is happening down there, ma'am.
FCO_Barak says:
XO: Aye sir.
TO_Mikan says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: Yes sirrr. ::makes a quick trot around the room to make sure it is safe then returns:: CO: It's empty.
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: I suggest some caution, Sir. We can't locate any power source for the platform.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::walks into the room:: All: Ok, in you get!
Host XO_Siatty says:
CEO: I agree.  CO: We should slow down and find out where we're going first.
CNS_Selar says:
::walks onto the room after the CO looking around very nervously:: CO: Are you sure this is a good idea, sir?
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  I know, this whole thing seems like a trap to lure its prey in, and once the prey is in deep enough, WHAM!! the trap is sprung with no way out.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: There's no telling we'll be getting back up here after this thing takes us down...
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: This is the only way to get below the surface if I'm not mistaken.
FCO_Barak says:
XO: Maybe we should divide.
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: Don't bother. CO: After you. ::follows the Captain into the elevator::
Host CO_Lyon says:
FCO: No, we stay together.
TO_Mikan says:
CSO: How farrr up and/orrr down does this shaft go? Can you tell?
CNS_Selar says:
CEO: What?? ::looks more shocked:: CO: If we have no way back up, we may not want to go, sir.
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Besides... it wouldn't have opened fi we weren't supposed to get in, right?
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: I know, but that doesn't mean we should just head down.  What if it's a refuse shoot?  Designed to take garbage to be recycled or something?
OPS_Jones says:
@*CO*:  Could I have an update on your status, please?
EO_Valentine says:
CO: Or a monster
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Well, there's no one up here...
CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans the elevator and gets a reading.:: TO: Approximately 100 decks.
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: Exactly, it looks to much like a trap for my liking, ma'am.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::sighs:: All: Just get in will you?
TO_Mikan says:
::sniffs the air:: XO: No garbage here.
Host CO_Lyon says:
*OPS*: We just found what looks like an elevator, and we're heading down in it.
CNS_Selar says:
CO: Sir, if you would like my opinion it is unsafe. ::feels nervous standing in the elevator thing::
CEO_Terumo says:
::shrugs and joins the CO, pointing the tricorder at the center of the platform:: CO: Aye, Sir. 
FCO_Barak says:
:: Enters the elevator :: CO: Aye sir.
OPS_Jones says:
@*CO*:  Just be careful, its starting to feel like a trap the further you investigate.
CTO_Worthington says:
::waits for everyone else to get in the elevator::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Hesitantly gets in as the direct order is given.::
CMO_Brabas says:
::He nods with his head as he goes with the others::
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Enters cautiously.::  TO: Not yet, but there is a first time for anything, and no traces can be there if nothing went down yet.
Host CO_Lyon says:
*OPS*: Noted, and you're not the only one who's telling me that.
EO_Valentine says:
::sighs and grips her crucifix tightly as she walks into the elevator::
OPS_Jones says:
@*CO*:  Understood, Jones out.
CNS_Selar says:
CO: I suggest we have phasers drawn before this thing moves.
CTO_Worthington says:
XO: If your theory is correct than we should have nothing to fear, other than a sales pitch.
FCO_Barak says:
:: with one hand on the phaser and the tricorder on the other scans the elevator ::
TO_Mikan says:
XO: I would guess that this is too larrrge forrr a garrrbage chute.
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: An elevator? Sounds strange. 
Host CO_Lyon says:
::as everybody enters the elevator, the doors close, and slowly starts moving downwards:: All: well, our course has been decided.
Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  A construct of some kind appears.  It is roughly the size of a human head and is square.  It hovers over the AT, looking at them with one bright blue eye.  With the elevator doors closed, all communication to the Cherokee ceases.
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  I know.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: I'll go along, but no one says this is....What's that?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He takes scans::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::spots the construct:: All: Interesting.
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the thing:: Self: Oh my, what is that? ::moves back as she uses her mind to see what it is::
CTO_Worthington says:
::has his phaser ready just in case::
FCO_Barak says:
:: looks at the construct :: CSO: Sir, up there.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins scanning the construct and notices that his comm badge just went dead. CO: Sir, it appears we're on our own now.
CEO_Terumo says:
::steps back unconsciously after seeing the construct:: XO: I think I've got a reading from the power distribution system in here!
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  ::looks panicky:  OPS: Ma'am, we just lost contact with the Away Team!
Host Construct says:
::the construct is whistling when it notices the AT:  ALL:  Well hello there!  I am so glad you have decided to visit us again. ::sounding very pleased to see them::
EO_Valentine says:
::backs up into the wall, her knuckles turning white::
CTO_Worthington says:
CO/XO: Again?
TO_Mikan says:
Construct: Again?
FCO_Barak says:
All: Again?
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderon> OPS: Now this has to be a trap, ma'am.
CEO_Terumo says:
XO: All readings from the outside have been lost, Sir.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Greetings, have we met before?
OPS_Jones says:
@::snaps to face Calhoun::  Calhoun: What did you mean, lost contact?
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Interesting choice of words...
CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to scan for tetraonic particles::
CEO_Terumo says:
Self: Again ?!
CSO_Nash says:
:: Hears the reference.:: Self: Again?
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  Noted.
EO_Valentine says:
::shudders, her fur fluffing up::
CNS_Selar says:
::stands behind the CO as she looks at the creature::
Host Construct says:
ALL:  Would you like me to activate the Ring's primary systems Creators?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::puts his hand on Mai's shoulder::
Host Construct says:
::continues to whistle his happy little tune::
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  OPS: That's just it, one moment, I heard them plain as day then once they got on that elevator, everything went silent.
FCO_Barak says:
:: Slowly moves hand over the phaser :: 
EO_Valentine says:
::yelps and looks up to see the Captain, then sighs and starts to calm down::
CNS_Selar says:
::walks over to Mai and whispers:: EO: It's ok Mai, calm down. Everything should be ok. ::hopes::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: For now we are running a diagnostic, and you are our next piece to test.  Please list primary systems planned for activation?
TO_Mikan says:
Construct: Do you have offensive and defensive capabilities?
CMO_Brabas says:
::he begins to scan for holographic emitters::
CEO_Terumo says:
::scanning the construct:: XO: It would appear to be self-contained. I'm detecting no radiation coming our going from the object, Sir.
CTO_Worthington says:
::waits to see what the CO does::
Host Construct says:
::turns in confusion at all the questions::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::lets his Exec talk to the construct::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::said in a low voice not to distract the conversation:: All: Let Commander Siatty talk to the construct.
Host Construct says:
XO:  Are you testing me Creator? ::laughing::
FCO_Barak says:
:: looks at the XO ::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: How else will we know that you are working correct?
Host Construct says:
XO:  Surely you know the answer Creator, you made me.
CNS_Selar says:
::walks closer to the XO incase she is needed to help which is doubtful since he was once a CNS and is trained at this stuff::
EO_Valentine says:
::sticks her tongue out in thought and pops open her tricorder, scanning the construct::
Host Construct says:
::moves around the elevator and it continues its downward progress::
FCO_Barak says:
Self: This "thing" thinks we are his creators. How interesting.
CSO_Nash says:
Thinks: Test? This construct is wanting to use us as specimens to see if the Creators got the systems right.
CEO_Terumo says:
::gestures at the EO, asking her to direct her scans to the same area he is scanning::
EO_Valentine says:
::slides her goggles on and starts up their scanning as well::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: And surely you know that I can't test you if I give you the answers.
Host Construct says:
::hears the CEO::  XO:  Yes, this must be a test ::laughing::
CMO_Brabas says:
::Begins to scan for Construct readings::
OPS_Jones says:
@::jumping out of the chair, she strides up past the OPS and FCO consoles and turns to face her "crew":: All: Right, let's see what we can do to get it back, Deena, remind the crew that we are at yellow alert status and to take extra precautionary action.
CNS_Selar says:
~~~XO: He apparently thinks we created him for some reason.~~~
Host Construct says:
TO:  And as you know creator, we are capable of defending ourselves ::winking the one blue eye at him::
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  OPS:  Yes, Ma'am.  ::does as asked::
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: I do not like this at all ma'am.
FCO_Barak says:
:: Shivers as he sees the construct looking at the TO ::
TO_Mikan says:
::whispers to the XO:: XO: Try to find out what off/def capabilities it has. The Cherokee could be in danger.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Hears the warning.::
Host Construct says:
ALL: I am so happy you have returned, we have done all you have asked of us.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::feels slightly panicky, but remains calm for the benefit of the crew::
CEO_Terumo says:
::approaches the EO casually:: EO: Are you getting the same readings as I am on the KU band? I think it's how it communicates...
CTO_Worthington says:
::waits patiently, preparing to make a move if needed::
EO_Valentine says:
::nods to the CEO, sliding one goggle lens up to look at him::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Can you show us what you have done, so we can see your success?
CNS_Selar says:
::tries to project into the CO's mind:: ~~~CO: Would you like me to try and communicate with Christina, my assistant telepathically?~~~
Host Construct says:
XO:  Of course Creator, all you had to do was ask, I will be happy to show you around the facilities.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at Jennifer and nods::
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson: Neither do I.
CNS_Selar says:
::nods back and tries:: ~~~Henderson: Christina can you hear me??~~~
Host Construct says:
::changes his tune and begins to sing::
FCO_Barak says:
Self: No use talking because he will hear me, that could be interpreted the wrong way. ::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::moves slowly towards Kevin and whispers to him:: CSO: Can you figure out what it is? Looks holographic to me.
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Changes languages to Betazoid.::  Construct: Start with your defensive systems, so we can know we are secure.
CEO_Terumo says:
::starts logging the detected signal and starts moving towards the CO::
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson> ::her eyes close:: ~~~CNS: I hear you, what is going on down there!?~~~
Host Construct says:
XO:  I shall show those to you later Creator.  Do you not want the tour now? ::answered in Betazoid::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Certainly, that's why we're here...for the final check.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::turns slightly and mouths the word "tour" at Tach::
EO_Valentine says:
::slides her goggle lens back over eye and continues her scans of the elevator and the creepy floaty thingee::
CTO_Worthington says:
::whispers to the TO:: TO: If anything happens, protect the CO. I will try to disable the construct if needed. Understood?
CSO_Nash says:
CO: I'll try sir. :: Begins scanning.::
CNS_Selar says:
::hears them and understands them thinking it is odd:: ~~~Henderson: We have met a creature that claims we created him, that is all~~~
OPS_Jones says:
@::sees Henderson eyes close::  Henderson:  What's going on?
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The elevator stops and the construct moves out, waiting for the Creators to follow.
CEO_Terumo says:
::approaches the CO and whispers to him:: CO: I think we found the object's communication link...
TO_Mikan says:
::nods to the CTO and whispers:: CTO: The Captain will be safe as long as I live.
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: Ma'am, I just received a telepathic communication from Counselor Selar, they have apparently found a creature that claims that they created it.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::feels the lift stop and sees the construct get out:: All: Best we follow it. ::walks out of the lift::
TO_Mikan says:
::touches the CO's arm:: CO: I should go beforrre you sirrr.
CTO_Worthington says:
TO: I would expect nothing less from you. ::follows the group::
FCO_Barak says:
:: Follows the CO. ::
CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to scan crew on the AT, checking their blood pressure::
CNS_Selar says:
::stays next to Mai:: EO: Ready to move out?
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The construct watches them with the one blue eye.
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  What?
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Follows Construct.::  Construct: How long will it take to activate all systems, once we are ready to?
CEO_Terumo says:
::follows the others, tricorder and phaser in hand::
CMO_Brabas says:
::As he scans, he begins to walk with the others::
EO_Valentine says:
::walks with the group on all fours, scanning with her goggles:: CNS: Yeah Jennifer, You okay?
FCO_Barak says:
:: looks at blue eye and stops. ::
Host Construct says:
XO:  Activate all systems Creator?  ::begins to laugh::
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: Yes, that is what she told me.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Follows the rest.::
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  Boy this is getting more bizarre as each second passes.
CNS_Selar says:
EO: Just peachy. ::smiles and walks out looking around and then stares at Construct for a few seconds::
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Can you read anything from it?
Host CO_Lyon says:
::walks next to Mai & Jennifer:: EO: Mai, I want you to "disappear" and look around. CNS: You stay with me.
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The construct begins to move, as the AT follows, vats can be seen down long corridors.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: No, how long will it take to do that?  ::Hopes he didn't give the order he's been trying to avoid.::
CNS_Selar says:
CO: Understood, sir. ::wonder why he wants her to stay with him::
EO_Valentine says:
::nods and hops into an open hatch:: CO: Sir.
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  More constructs can been seen down those long corridors, exactly like the one with them.
FCO_Barak says:
:: resumes path following the rest of the AT. ::
Host CO_Lyon says:
CEO: See what you can monitor on that link you say you found.
CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to check the environmental temperature and atmospheric contents::
CTO_Worthington says:
::listens to the XO, wanting to say something but not doing so::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks around, quite fascinated. moves closer to Tach:: XO: Ask it what is in the vats.
FCO_Barak says:
XO: Look, there are more constructs.
CNS_Selar says:
CO: And sir I have informed them.
CEO_Terumo says:
::looks down the corridor:: Self: How nice... more floating boxes...
CSO_Nash says:
::whispers:: CO:  Sir, it is a hologram sir.
Host XO_Siatty says:
CO: <Whispered> I'm trying to not ask anything that will reveal we aren't who it thinks we are, but I'll do it.
CNS_Selar says:
::follows the CO over to the XO::
EO_Valentine says:
::trots through the access tunnels on all fours, scanning for life forms and computer cores::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: What is in these vats?  I'm afraid I'm a bit bad at direction, and am not sure where we are.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::nods at Tach to do it:: CSO: I thought so.
TO_Mikan says:
::stays between the construct and the CO::
Host Construct says:
XO:  The Analysis are continuing creator as ordered.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins scans of the various vats.::
CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to check on his tricorder to see if there are any similarity with other species in downloaded LCARS files::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Results of the analysis so far?
FCO_Barak says:
:: catches up with the AT after scanning some other constructs :: CSO: All the others are holograms too.
CEO_Terumo says:
::looks at the tricorder:: Self: These corridors are endless... This is a world underneath another...
CTO_Worthington says:
::looks around, wondering if there are any other surprises lurking::
CNS_Selar says:
CO: What exactly is this, sir?
Host Construct says:
XO:  The life-forms have been created by the Dark Ones Creator, but the analysis is continuing.  And may I say again Creator, how happy I am to have you here once again!
Host CO_Lyon says:
::keeps his voice low:: CNS: That's what we are trying to find out. ::looks sharply at the construct as it mentions Dark Ones::
EO_Valentine says:
::hops up a small incline and continues exploring::
Host Construct says:
::the construct goes to each of the AT and eyes them, whistling his happy tune::
TO_Mikan says:
XO <whispered> Ask how long we have been gone?
CMO_Brabas says:
::He again begins to check on any residue of DNA::
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the Construct as he said Dark ones::
CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Noted. :: Hopes that they were close enough for the Captain to hear.::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Yes it's been a long time, I can hardly remember when we were here last.  When was that again?
FCO_Barak says:
:: Avoids looking at the blue eye :: Self: Well, why am I avoiding it, it's just an hologram.
Host Construct says:
XO: Why not that long ago Creator, don't you remember? ::continuing their journey to the main control center::
Host Construct says:
::wonders why the creators are testing him::
TO_Mikan says:
::wonders how long "not that long" is to a hologram::
FCO_Barak says:
CSO: Maybe we can locate the source of his power.
CSO_Nash says:
CO: <Whispering> Sir, all the constructs appear to be holograms.
Host Construct says:
XO:  Has our performance not pleased you Creator?
CEO_Terumo says:
::steps up to the CO and matches his pace:: CO: I'm picking enough data on the frequency we detected to think it is a major data transport. If it comes to that, we can always see what happens if we jam it...
EO_Valentine says:
::peeks through a ventilation grate and slowly unfastens it, pulling it inside the duct with her, then jumps down into the room and pulls out her tricorder:: Self: Just more stupid vats.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: It's just been a busy time.  Can we see the life forms?
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: I don't like not knowing what is going on.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: No, your performance has been all we imagined it would be on our trip back here.
CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Let's try it. Just remember to coordinate readings. I want us both to know when something is found.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CEO: Lets leave that as a last resort. See if you can set up a signal in the meantime, just in case.
CNS_Selar says:
::uses her mind to make sure Mai was ok, she was and she continues listening to Siatty and Construct::
FCO_Barak says:
Self: What? :: looks at the construct. ::
Host Construct says:
XO:  Of course Creator, we can stop at any of these, but do you not want to see the main center?
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  You and me both.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::looks at Tach, nodding for the control center::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Yes, of course, I tend to get exited and jump ahead at times.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: Can you sense how Mai's doing?
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Control Center it is.
EO_Valentine says:
::walks in between rows of vats, scanning the entire room:: Self: Hmmm..
Host Construct says:
XO:  Yes Creator, have I told you how glad I am that you are here? ::seems to pulse with a rosy glow::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Concentrates his scans on the vats.::
CNS_Selar says:
::looks over at CEO and whispers:: CEO: She is fine, Chief.
FCO_Barak says:
:: Starts scanning to find the hologram power source. ::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Yes, several times now.  I'm glad to see you functioning as well.
CEO_Terumo says:
CNS: and you?
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson> ::presses some buttons on the CNS console::
Host Construct says:
::glows rosier::  XO:  I am here to please and service you Creator.
CTO_Worthington says:
::has a bad feeling about all this, wonders if they are being led into a trap::
TO_Mikan says:
CO: I wonderrr why the constrrruct is so happy to see us.
CNS_Selar says:
::whispers:: CEO: Fine, nothing to worry about. I live for this stuff.
Host CO_Lyon says:
TO: Perhaps it is slightly blind... who knows. Or just its programming.
FCO_Barak says:
CSO: Found anything, sir? I didn't. :: nods head in a negative way. ::
CNS_Selar says:
CO/TO: Or maybe it needs the creators to do something for it.
CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Nothing yet. Keep trying though.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Are any of the life forms activated yet?
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The AT arrive at the main complex.  It is a great circular room with an entirely holographic interface for the computer system.
TO_Mikan says:
CO: But its worrrding is verrry peculiarrr. Does it not rrremember telling us orrr is it trrrying to mimic human language?
EO_Valentine says:
::scrambles up a ladder and looks out over to room full of vats:: Self: I don't like the looks of this.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::enters the room and looks around::
Host CO_Lyon says:
TO: I'm not sure.
Host Construct says:
::looks at the XO in confusion::  XO:  Are you testing me again Creator?
CEO_Terumo says:
::enters the main room and walks up to a holographic display:: Self: Schematics ...?
CTO_Worthington says:
::whispers:: XO: I think I found that computer you were looking for.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Enters the room and marvels at the set up.::
FCO_Barak says:
:: enters the control center. ::
CNS_Selar says:
::enters the room and looks around::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: No, just making conversation.  Trying to add to your joy.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Enters the room looking all over the place::
Host Construct says:
XO:  You are not sounding like my creator.
EO_Valentine says:
::feels a slight chill and hops back down, trotting across the room to her open panel::
CEO_Terumo says:
::as he approaches a console, its display changes automatically, showing what would appear to be a login screen:: CNS: You wouldn't happen to know the password?
FCO_Barak says:
Self: Oh no, the thing is beginning to suspect something.
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: Are you telling me how I'm supposed to sound?
CNS_Selar says:
::walks over to the CEO:: CEO: Well, I don't think so.
Host Construct says:
XO:  You are asking me questions that you should know the answer to Crea...
CTO_Worthington says:
::hearing that Constructs change in tone, grabs his phaser rifle::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::turns to look at the construct::
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Groans inwardly.::
TO_Mikan says:
::is ready for action::
FCO_Barak says:
:: Hears the CEO :: CEO: Maybe its blank.
EO_Valentine says:
::hops back into the tunnel, closing the door behind her::
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The construct turns eyeing everyone in the control center.
CNS_Selar says:
::looks over at Construct as he stopped his word and stares at him her hand on her phaser::
OPS_Jones says:
@::suddenly gets chill down her back::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::whispers to Jennifer:: CNS: I think it suspects we're not the Creators.
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: Are you ok, ma'am?
Host XO_Siatty says:
::Smiles.::  Construct: Another test.  I want to ensure no one can trick you into revealing your secrets.
CEO_Terumo says:
::hears the sudden silence and turns around, expecting the worst::
CMO_Brabas says:
XO: The Construct is of an old generation!
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The construct appears to be confused and begins demanding answers.
CNS_Selar says:
::whispers back:: CO: Agreed.
CMO_Brabas says:
::Pulls out his poker face::
FCO_Barak says:
:: avoids looking at the hologram, trying to see if there is something there that could hurt the AT :: 
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  I am not Betazoid but I know when things shift and something in me senses that something is not going right down there.
CNS_Selar says:
CO: I suggest you order everyone to, well back off from the consoles.
CTO_Worthington says:
::whispers:: XO: I think I have an idea.
CEO_Terumo says:
::a display starts flashing and Terumo walks quickly towards it:: CO: This doesn't look good!
Host XO_Siatty says:
CTO: Go with it.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CEO: What is it?
Host Construct says:
ALL; Turning in the direction of the CO.  You are not the creators!  If you are, what is the proper initialization sequence to activate the ring?
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: I agree, I feel as if something is wrong as well.
EO_Valentine says:
::gallops through the access tunnel, heading to the next room::
Host CO_Lyon says:
Construct: And why would we want to activate the ring?
CNS_Selar says:
::makes sure she stays near the CO::
FCO_Barak says:
CSO: This would be a good time to locate the power source.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Grimaces as the construct begins to question us and begins scanning the computer system.::
CEO_Terumo says:
CO: I wish I knew, but I feel tempted to start tapping this display!
EO_Valentine says:
::trots by an air duct opening and peeks in the room, seeing the weird floatie head thingee yelling at the crew:: Self: Uh oh.
Host CO_Lyon says:
CEO: Hands off.
CMO_Brabas says:
XO: I need to check it’s parameters. ::He is trying to talk as if the  Construct is not there::
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO: I do not thing that would be wise, Lt.
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  I wish there was a way for us to communicate with our team down there.
Host Construct says:
CO:  If I am asked, since I am alone, I would have to activate the ring, which would mean the ultimate destruction there the salvation of sentient life form the hands of the Old ones.
CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Lets do it. :: Begins scanning for the access code or the main power source.::
TO_Mikan says:
CNS: Betterrr let the Cherrrokee know to be alerrrt. Its defensive/offensive systems could be activated in moments.
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: I am not strong enough to open a telepathic communication to someone. That person would have to contact me first.
Host CO_Lyon says:
Construct: Destruction of all sentient life? Can one ring alone do that?
EO_Valentine says:
::looks around the room, checking to make sure the whole away team is there::
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  I understand what you are saying, but that is not what I meant.
CTO_Worthington says:
::waits to see what happens before he tries anything::
Host Construct says:
ALL:  Once activated, a total of 100,000,000 light-years would be wiped out and after all of the rings are activated the universe would be quite devoid of sentient life.
FCO_Barak says:
:: Scans with the CSO ::
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The construct becomes agitated and turns dark in color!
Host CO_Lyon says:
Construct: I see... I suppose ordering you not to do that will do no good?
CNS_Selar says:
TO: Good idea, Ensign. ::walks behind the TO and closes her eyes:: ~~~Henderson: Christina, the creature is now starting to turn on us, bring the ship to red alert, you may need to be prepared.~~~
TO_Mikan says:
::taps the CO's shoulder and points to the duct above the floor where Mai is::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::quickly looks up and gives a little sigh of relief in his head::
CMO_Brabas says:
Self: The whole universe?
CSO_Nash says:
FCO: I can't find the power source, can you?
EO_Valentine says:
::mouths "what's going on?"::
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The AT tricorders begin to detect movement as robotic drones coming their way.
CEO_Terumo says:
::steps back and scans the console with the tricorder:: Self: There may be something else than what meets the eye...
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>~~~CNS: Alright, I will do it right away!~~~ OPS: Ma'am, Jennifer just contacted me and suggested we go to red alert. She said the creature has turned on them!
FCO_Barak says:
CSO: No sir, unfortunately.
Host CO_Lyon says:
::mouths back at Mai: "Big trouble!"::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Self: Oh no.  CO: Let's get back to the surface, quickly.
CNS_Selar says:
::looks at the drones come their way and takes out her phaser quickly::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Notices the motion detector on his tricorder.:: CO: Robotic drones heading this way, sir.
CEO_Terumo says:
::starts tapping the tricorder:: CO: I'm getting that jamming signal ready, Sir.
CTO_Worthington says:
::sees the movements on his tricorder::: Self: Hey, there's that trap I was afraid of.
Host CO_Lyon says:
XO: Sound idea. All: I think it best if we left... now! ::turns for the doors:: CEO: Good.
CMO_Brabas says:
::he gently pulls out his phaser and sets it on maximum setting::
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The construct eyes the AT and thinks it will be interesting analyze them.
FCO_Barak says:
CSO: But I can detect movement... Something big is coming our way.
EO_Valentine says:
::gulps and nods, pulling out her tricorder to scan the room::
Host XO_Siatty says:
Construct: We were sent by the creators to prepare for their coming.  They do not want the ring activated until they are ready.
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:   Turned on them, now there's a sign if I heard one.  Calhoun:  Bring us to Red Alert.
Host Construct says:
ACTION:  The robotic drones cut off all escape, except one.
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: Anything you would like me to relay to the AT?
OPS_Jones says:
@<Calhoun>  OPS:  Aye, Ma'am.  ::activates Red Alert::
Host CO_Lyon says:
::stops as the drones cut off the escape routes::
Host Construct says:
::I will save these bodies for later as he watches the drones::
CSO_Nash says:
FCO: Agreed. Many big things. :: Notices the drones.::
OPS_Jones says:
@Henderson:  Just to be careful and come home in one piece.
FCO_Barak says:
All: There is only one way out. Smells like trap.
CNS_Selar says:
::walks over to where the rest of the crew are::
Host XO_Siatty says:
FCO: Walking into a possible trap is better than staying in a definite one!
CTO_Worthington says:
CO/XO: Maybe we should get out of here?
Host CO_Lyon says:
CTO: Have your team disable the drones with phaser fire... CEO: Get that jamming signal going.
CNS_Selar says:
@<Christina_Henderson>OPS: Aye, ma'am.. ::sends the message to Jennifer and receives one back::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Feverishly scans the computer for the access codes to back these things off.::
CMO_Brabas says:
::He turns to the only exit and begins to take scans for any traces of life-forms::
FCO_Barak says:
:: picks up phaser :: 
CTO_Worthington says:
    CO: I'll see what we can do. 
EO_Valentine says:
::watches the away team freak out and says another quick prayer::
