<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Sickbay, unaware of the brain scan or much else outside of the vivid, lucid dreams.::

Host TO-Smith says:
::notices that the alien fleet has stopped::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::at OPS on the Bridge::

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  It looks like they are keeping their distance, Sir.

Host SO_Bush says:
::On Bridge, having been called up by for support by Ensign Jitters.::

XO_Wells says:
::On the bridge about to see what is going on in the Captain's mind, displayed on the main viewer::

Host TO-Smith says:
Self:  This is really weird looking at someone else’s dreams.

Host SO_Bush says:
XO: Wormhole continues to destabilize.  So far no progress on the telepathy attempts.

XO_Wells says:
TO: That's good, otherwise we might think them not so friendly.

ACTION: The images continue on the screen.  The first is of a Starfleet Database file on the Horta.

XO_Wells says:
SO: It would be nice if they were on the other side of it, wherever it is they came from.
OPS: What's the Horta?

Host SO_Bush says:
 XO: A lot of them are, sir.  An awful lot.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  I don't know about you, but I would rather that hole stay open so we can send them back where they come from!

Host TO-Smith says:
::what the??::

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  Sir, this does NOT look good...

XO_Wells says:
SO: So we keep them that's there, there and contain the ones here.
TO: I agree but, how do we keep others from coming through, with the wormhole opened?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  It's a race of silicone based creature that was first encountered by The Federation many years ago.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  Wrong question to ask me Sir.  My first thought is a photon.  That would definitely get my attention on the other side.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Do you think there's a connection between these bugs and the Horta or are they just collecting Intel on everyone?

Host SO_Bush says:
XO/ OPS: But what does it have to do with this?  We know all about them.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
SO/XO:  I don't know what the connection is.

XO_Wells says:
TO: Something wrong, Smith?

ACTION: The image fades to be replaced by a pre-Federation Romulan vessel from the Romulan-Earth War.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  Nothing with me Sir, just answering your question.  Sir, I think the aliens are running the Captain's memory banks, so to speak.
OPS:  Don't you agree?

XO_Wells says:
All: They are gathering information on all the species here.  But, why?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
TO:  So it seems.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  If we were on the other side, wouldn't we do the exact same thing if possible?

Host SO_Bush says:
All: But why aren't we seeing others?  So far just two beings.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  What surprises me it that Caits are not known to be particularly telepathic.

XO_Wells says:
TO: But, I thought their first priority was a means of communication, food water stuff like that.  Now they're collecting stats like they was planning a takeover or something.

Host SO_Bush says:
TO: Not with the Telepathy known to the Federation, no.  But these beings can't seem to understand the forms we tried.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  That is a possibility.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  I wonder if they have more than one species where they come from?  Just thinking out loud here, Sir.
SO:  What do you think?
::it seems the more questions they have, the less answers they are getting::

ACTION: A Starfleet report comes on screen from 15 years ago about a Starfleet's crew believed discovery of the Founder Homeworld.

XO_Wells says:
All: I'm just thinking, we have Janet keeping the Captain in his present state because it looked like they wanted to talk but, if they are just sponging information, that could possibly be used against the Federation, I'm thinking we may need to go back to trying to wake him up.

Host SO_Bush says:
TO: Not detecting anything from the Probe in regards to others, but the probe's range is limited to a few light years.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  Would that be dangerous?  What does medical say?

ACTION: A re-enactment of the first Vulcan mission to make first Contact with Earth appears on screen.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  Sir, this is getting critical.  We need to ask medical if we can disconnect the Captain.

XO_Wells says:
TO: They are still working on a safe means to revive the Captain, they won't until it’s safe and when, I suppose I tell them too.

Host SO_Bush says:
All: The most up to date image on the screen is from when I was 5 years old.  If they're going after intelligence, they need to look better.

XO_Wells says:
TO: These are the Captain's thoughts, they look more like an Academy history book.

XO_Wells says:
*MO_Monroe*: Janet, have your people devised a way of waking the Captain?

ACTION: Am image of a Trill Starfleet Captain with a stern look appears walking into a Holodeck.  She stands, watching, and then creates a deck chair and sits down, watching the other crew member in the deck (seen in first person).

Host TO-Smith says:
::wonders what that is::

XO_Wells says:
OPS: You have seen Tio's personnel file, are these images in correlation to his own life experiences?  They seem so random.

Host TO-Smith says:
:;turns to wait for an answer from OPS::

MO_Monroe says:
*XO*: We have, Sir but, we don't know how safe it is yet.  It could be dangerous.  We are still working on it though.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  It's possible, of course that is my best guess.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Check his records, did he ever have a female Trill Captain?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO: Aye.  ::begins to check the file for the information.::

XO_Wells says:
SO: If they are still trying to talk to us, why can't they hear us?  They have hearing abilities, they must not have a COM, but how do they communicate with other species?  Maybe they have never met another species.  Still, there has to be a way of getting our point across to them.  Work with OPS, find it.

Host SO_Bush says:
XO: Aye Sir.  Working on it, but so far they don't seem to understand.

XO_Wells says:
TO: Keep a close eye on the activity on the planet, as well as behind us.  Let me know when the "fleet" that is supposedly on its way, comes on our sensors.  They can't get here to soon for me.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  The only female Captain he served with was Captain Kayta Prin-McDonald.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: And she isn't Trill?  Is she?  I can't believe command has no better instruction for us but sit and wait.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Yes, she is a Trill.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: She is?  Well, what a trill, we finally get one right.  So, okay that one scene is him but, he wasn't at the first contact between Earth and the Vulcans.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Found who the other person was that was shown with Captain Katya Prin-McDonald, her name is Shannon O'Riley.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  But everyone has read about it Sir.  Anyone in the Federation would know.

ACTION: A multi faceted eye image of a burst of light and the sudden appearance of this Star system appears on screen.

Host TO-Smith says:
ALL:  Now what the heck is that?

XO_Wells says:
SO/OPS/TO: So, if they aren't trying to communicate anymore then, I don't think we should let them "take" all this stuff from the Captain's head, not unless they can "tell" us why.  What do you all think?

Host SO_Bush says:
TO: Looks like looking through a Prism, but more...steady.  Bug eye view?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  You know what a history buff Captain Ayidee is, he could have seen it on the Holodeck almost as if he was there.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Who's this O'Reilly person? What connection has she with Tio?

Host TO-Smith says:
:;trying to make sense of what she is seeing::  XO:  Could this last image be one from the alien when they entered our galaxy?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  I'm the wrong person to ask that to.

XO_Wells says:
TO: That'd be my guess too.
OPS: She might have a personnel file, look it up.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.

Host SO_Bush says:
OPS: They obviously served together.  What brought the image up with these others?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::does as asked.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
SO:  I thought that was obvious since they were shown in the same clip we saw.

XO_Wells says:
SO/OPS: These bugs seem to have at least some intelligence, I wonder if they could figure out a written language as a means of communicating?

Host TO-Smith says:
ALL:  Maybe now they are trying to show us something of themselves... ::shrugs shoulders::
XO:  How can you have a written language with no fingers to write with?

ACTION: The images repeat quickly, Horta, Founder misdirection of Homeworld, Romulan ship, former Captain.  At the end, a giant question mark sits on the screen for some time.

XO_Wells says:
*MO_Monroe*: Janet, check the Captain's scans, is he having imprints made or is it all going out?  I'm thinking, maybe while they are learning, they are teaching the Captain.

Host TO-Smith says:
ALL:  Great!  I wonder whose question mark that belongs to, the aliens or the Captain?

XO_Wells says:
TO: They have appendages of some kind or how else would they work mechanical things?

MO_Monroe says:
*XO*: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Shannon O'Riley was an OPS officer on the USS Huron when Ayidee arrived on board,  The image correspond to a to Holodeck program where Ayidee basically broke her out of being confined to her room for medical safety, but after this incident it was dropped quietly.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  Perhaps mentally, like they communicate.

XO_Wells says:
TO: No, they must have at least some mobility, they're beetles, not slugs.

Host SO_Bush says:
TO: Every telepathic species known to the Federation doesn't develop their telepathy near adolescence.  But again, that's all we know of.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: Thanks, I wonder why they would be interested in that?

Host SO_Bush says:
TO: If they are born with telepathy, and they're alone, why would they even...wow.

Host TO-Smith says:
SO:  Wow what?

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:   That there is the big question.

Host SO_Bush says:
TO: Language is a means of communicating.  If you know what others are thinking without effort, what would you need to learn to talk for?

Host TO-Smith says:
SO:  Exactly!  I have some Betazed friends and they never speak with each other, other than mentally.  They say it takes too long and mentally no one can lie to you.

MO_Monroe says:
*XO*: Sir, your hunch was right.  There is more information going into the Captain's brain than is going out.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  That sounds hopeful in a way.  Maybe when he wakes up, we will know how to handle them.  ::if his brain doesn't overload::

XO_Wells says:
*MO_Monroe*: Thanks, keep working on a way to wake him safely, should I decide to do so.  I'm not sure how fair it is to the Captain to leave him subjected to this.

MO_Monroe says:
*XO*: Will do, Sir.

Host SO_Bush says:
XO: If we could only get them to listen.  They seem to understand some of the things from the Captain's mind.  I think, assuming they aren't random.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  At least they are not approaching.  It seems they have stopped in space.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::noticing changes in communications::  XO:  There has been a slight change in the alien communications.   It appears a few audio phrases are being identified as words by the computer.

XO_Wells says:
SO/TO: Who cares how they talk to each other.  We need them to hear us.
TO: Why didn't you like my written language theory, again?  They don't need to write, just see letters.  Any idiot can work a word puzzle.

Host TO-Smith says:
XO:  Sir, a ship about twice the size of a runabout is leavin’ the mother ship and heading for the planet's surface.

Host SO_Bush says:
::Scans the ship.::  XO: It's full of what appear to be larval stage aliens.  But they're different than the others on the surface.

XO_Wells says:
OPS: No kidding?  Wow, now we might be getting some where.  If they are trying, we need to try so, keep at it.  Communication is your racket so, talk to them.

Host TO-Smith says:
Self:  Oh great!  Now we will have two kinds to deal with.
SO:  How are they different?

Host SO_Bush says:
~~~Aliens: What are you here for?  What do you want?~~~

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:   I need more identifiable words available to me before I even attempt tot talk to them.

XO_Wells says:
SO/TO: Super beetles, that can't be good.  They gotta stop reproducing, that will never do on this side of the wormhole, we like to avoid over population by insect species.

Host SO_Bush says:
XO: Still no answers to telepathy.  But it's not like super beetles.  Can't tell exactly what the changes will mean after they mature, but it looks minor.  Ish.

Host TO-Smith says:
SO:  Why doesn't that sound very good?  ::sighs::

XO_Wells says:
All: This whole thing makes me itch.
