Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 11103.06, Captain Ayidee recording.  We have brought the Cherokee over the site of what we believe is the Science teams new base of operations.  We are hoping we will find answers to what happened down there, but things are puzzling with it.

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Starts to chant while tapping on some console buttons.::  To self:  They're coming to take me away, uh-huh, they're coming to take me away.  ::tap, tap.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, monitoring sensor readings from the Settlement.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::in the transporter room equipping himself::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::awaiting orders to transport down.::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
:: In TR checking away teams weapons with TO_Goldberg::

Host XO_Wells says:
::In the transporter room once again, ready for part two of the senior crew's field trip to the planet we orbit.  This time, we will be visiting the scientists who abandoned the lab site.  Has check with transporter chief, he has our destination.  Standing on pad, waiting for all to assemble::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::in the transporter room, going over the short list of what they engineering department is bringing down::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::in Transporter Room, waiting with others to beam down::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::In the science labs working on getting some good readings on the probe and comparing the metals with the records.::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Leaning against a wall in TR waiting for the order to beam down.::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Sir, do you have any orders for when we beam down?

ACTION:  The transporter chief is waiting for the XO's orders to beam down once everyone is there.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Steps up on the pad with the group.::

Host XO_Wells says:
All: Easten, you're team will beam down with me first.  The rest follow directly.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::steps up on the pad::

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
*SO*:  Lt. Cerdan, I just wanted to wish you luck.  Let me know if you need anything.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Yes sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Aye.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Aye ::steps onto pad with Goldberg::

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: Counselor, you're with me too, please.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::checks to see that his Tricorder and Phaser are well charged::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
TO: Get ready ::Pulls out Phaser.

Host XO_Wells says:
TR Chief: Ready.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*CSO*: I will, and I make my own luck.

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: Holster that for now, itchy.  Let's try diplomacy first.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods and steps onto the transporter pad::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Aye sir ::Holsters Phaser blushing slightly::

ACTION:  The chief beams down the XO,CNS and the CTO.

CSO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Smiles.::  *SO*:  Good journey, then.  See you when you get back.

Host XO_Wells says:
::Rematerializes on planet and looks around::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
#::Steps up onto the pad when the first group beams out.::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Pulls out Tricorder and starts scanning::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg>::Pulls out Tricorder::

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: We will try to find out why they moved to this side of the planet first, I'd think.

Dr_Jekyl says:
Dr. Neal:  They're coming…

ACTION:  The transporter lands the team outside the science lab complex.

Host Dr_Neal says:
::Sees the sparkle of a Transporter through a window and gets up from his desk, stepping outside.::  Self: I thought we were supposed to have autonomy.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::commences scanning when he rematerializes::  XO:  Understood.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Sir we are picking up life signs inside the complex.

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: There's a science building on this side too.  Seems like a waste top have two, one unused.

Host Dr_Neal says:
Jekyl: We knew they'd come.  Just thought we'd have more time.  Relax.

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: Once the rest arrive, you can lead us all there, Ensign.  How many life signs do you read?

Dr_Jekyl says:
Dr. Neal:  They're going to take me away…

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  It's very odd.  How similar are these two settlements?

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: But why need two?  And, who told them to move?

Host Dr_Neal says:
Jekyl: You don't know that.  Your place is here, they have no reason to take you anywhere.  But we should go meet them.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::compares scans of the two facilities::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Two sir.  But the entrances to the complex are locked.  We are going to have to force our way in.

Dr_Jekyl says:
Dr. Neal:  I will stay.  You go.  I have work to do.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  From what I recall, the Huron ran into duplicates.  I recommend caution.

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: Or, be invited in.  They shouldn’t oppose us.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
#CMO/ CEO: Hope the delay doesn't mean something’s wrong

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
#::Sighs quietly and looks around at her other crew mates thinking about how she'll end up getting along with them::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Understood, so should we ring the door bell?

Host Dr_Neal says:
Jekyl: Fine.  Just don't get too involved.  ::Steps out the door and walks towards the Away Team.::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
#SO: I'm not sure what is up.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns and sees someone approaching::  XO:  Sir!

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: Patience grasshopper.

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Nods to him, and continues his work.::

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: See, the welcoming committee.  Do you scan a weapon on them?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
Transporter Chief: What's the hang up?

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: Okay, let's get some answers.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to get a ~~~sense~~~ of the approaching person::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CEO/SO: I've no problem waiting.  ::Shrug::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Nope ::Puts Tricorder away::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CMO/CEO: I don't like waiting .If there was a problem I'm sure we would know

Dr_Jekyl says:
~~~::Senses the presence of the others.::~~~

Host Dr_Neal says:
Away Team: Greetings, we didn't expect a Starfleet visit.  I am Doctor Neal, what can we do for you?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
TO: ::whispers:: Keep scanning just in case::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::frowns::

Host XO_Wells says:
*CEO*: Anytime, Mr. Damien.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Dr Neal: Hi Dr. Neal.

ACTION:  The rest of the crew are beamed down to the planet.

Host XO_Wells says:
DR. Neal: Well, we have a few questions for you, actually.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes the others arriving::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
:;rematerializes:: XO: I'm right here. At least I am now.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::materializes on the surface::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Stretches as she rematerializes and walks over to the XO's merry band::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: Starfleet usually does.  ::Smiles.::  Sometimes they understand the answers.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: What are you all doing on this side of the planet?  Why did you abandon the lab?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Away team members who just beamed down: Guys, meet Dr. Neal.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps slightly away from the others, trying to focus on the other telepath he senses::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Approaches the group slowly, trying to read the situation.::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
Dr Neal: Hello Doctor ::nods and takes a few scans with his Tricorder::

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: I'm Commander Wells, of the USS Cherokee, this is our crew.  Is there someplace we can go to discuss things?  I want a full report and I want my people to investigate the progress you've made here so far.

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: We...we found this site with a few artifacts that gave us some promise.  The old site we felt was complete.

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Grimaces and senses the others.  Makes sure his things are in tact.::  To self:  They're not going to take me without a fight.

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: Certainly, my office is just through that door.  Not much of an office I'm afraid, more a work area.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Begins scans with Tricorder.::

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: No one at Starfleet knows what you are up to and you have broken off communications.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Dr. Neal: We detected someone else in there.  Is that Dr. Jekyl?

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Grabs a Phaser, and slips it into the back of his pants under his shirt.::

Host XO_Wells says:
::Follows Neal::  All: This way.

Host Dr_Neal says:
CTO: Yes, that is my assistant.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Follows along::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Dr. Neal: Where is he?  ::Follows::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: Broken off communications?  What do you mean?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::alert::

Host XO_Wells says:
CEO: Commander, I want you to take who you need and look into what they are doing, as far as work and research.

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: We haven't gotten any messages from Starfleet since the start of the year.

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Gets very anxious, and can sense the others approaching.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::follows::

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Even just now, my Captain says you wouldn't answer his hails.

ACTION:  As the AT enters the office, a slight jolt of electricity is noticed.  Nothing to harm anyone though.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Follows behind the XO Trying to get his attention.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is zapped::

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Sees his computer console light up, and snickers.::  Out loud:  That'll teach them!

Host Dr_Neal says:
Self: Ahh!  What the...Jekyl, I'm going to...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@ XO: I'll give everything a good looking over ::suspicious::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg>::Still scanning::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::has a slight electrifying experience::

Host XO_Wells says:
SO: What was that?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Stops dead in her tracks:: Dr Neal: Doctor? You know anything about this?

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: My apologies Commander, that is a surprise from Dr Jekyl.  He has a strange sense of both "humor" and "appropriate".

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: Have a look at this. ::Holds out Tricorder.::

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Explain the shock as we passed through the doorway, please.
::Looks at SO's Tricorder::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
@::follows along::

Host XO_Wells says:
SO: Is this accurate?  How could those minerals be here?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg> CTO: Sir! I'm picking up a Phaser near the other life form in the complex!

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Very paranoid as the other's approach.::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: It appears to be accurate.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Is the gateway here or has it been destroyed?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Sir, Jekyl is armed.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::quietly::  XO:  Be careful.  Someone here is feeling threatened by us.

Host Dr_Neal says:
CTO: This isn't a tame area, we are often armed.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Quietly readies herself for anything::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::unholsters his Phaser::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: The gateway is no more, didn't the Huron team file that in their report?  It was years ago...

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Unholsters phasers:: Neal: I think I want to meet Dr. Jekyl.

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Activates the gateway.::

Host XO_Wells says:
::Hears the CNS:: Neal: You wouldn't mind if my crew took a look around, would you?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg> ::Takes out Phaser::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: I don't mind, but why are they drawing arms?  It was a joke.  A bad one, but a joke.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: So then why are we picking up traces of the gateway mineral on our equipment?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Steps back as Easton draws his weapon.:: CTO: Easy.

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: Please, put the pea shooters away.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: I'm getting a power spike...that way.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Just a precaution sir, that weapon I mentioned is armed.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Turns toward the lab.::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: The beings who built them built here because this is where the mineral was I believe.  Several of the artifacts we found are made of the same material.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
TO: Violence never solves anything. Well, that’s not true, but for now...::wry grin::

Host XO_Wells says:
SO/CEO: Gentlemen, please, begin your investigations.

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: We have quite a collection, some in the labs and some in the storage room below us.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Who else besides you is here?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: As you wish :: begins taking detailed scans of the work they're doing::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: I'm going to stay with you sir. CEO: Commander take Ens. Goldberg with you.

Host XO_Wells says:
SO: Check out the power spike you found.

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: Just Doctor Jekyl.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg> ::Goes over to CEO::

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: Good.  I'd miss you if you were gone.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
ALL: I'm getting  something...Major power jump.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Doctor...
CNS: Did he say Jekyl?  Like the book?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
TO: Relax Goldberg, you look like you're going to break something. :: continues scanning::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Dr.Jekyl:  Doctor Jekyl.  Is that you?~~~

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Looks confused:: XO: A book?

Dr_Jekyl says:
~~~CNS:  You'll never take me!!~~~

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  I believe Dr. Jekyl was the good one.  We should be all right.

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: Yes, and yes, he is rather sensitive about it.  Years of jokes.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes widen in surprise::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg>CEO: Sorry sir.  ::Relaxes grip on Phaser and Tricorder:: I just don't know what to expect.
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Dr Jekyl:  We don't want to take you anywhere.~~~

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CEO: Over here, ::Motions toward the lab::

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: Doctor Jekyl and Mr. Hyde by Stevenson, I think.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Catches the look in the CNS's eyes:: CNS: Everything alright?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  No, not really.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
TO: For starters, put the ray gun away. There is no immediate threat.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: I shall try to contain myself.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Frowns:: CNS: What's wrong?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::moves over to the lab:: SO: What have you got?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg> ::Holsters Weapon:: CEO: That’s better sir, thanks.

ACTION:  The CEO and the SO enter the lab where Dr. Jekyl is.

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Exits the lab through the gateway and shouts to the Away Team as they enter.::  Out loud:  You'll never take me!  Never!  Never!  Never!!!  I won't go!  ::Fires the Phaser at the CEO and walks through the gateway.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO/CMO:  Dr. Jekyl is panicking.  He's capable of anything.  ::goes after the CEO::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: If you don't mind me asking, why did Starfleet send you here?  We weren't due for an inspection for months.

Dr_Jekyl says:
::Said before he goes through.::  ~~~CNS:  Best not try to follow me!~~~

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: This Jekyl fellow, just how dangerous is he?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg> ::Dives for cover and pulls out Phaser.:: CEO: sir are you alright?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Ducks as the Phaser fires.:: CEO: You ok?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::motions to Goldberg:: TO: Okay now  we do need the Phaser! ::take his Phaser out and fires at Jekyl::

ACTION:  Jekyl’s Phaser shot goes wild and barely misses the CEO.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hears Phaser fire::  CEO::  Jose!

ACTION:  Dr. Jekyl disappears through the gateway unharmed.

Host XO_Wells says:
::Hears commotion:: All: What the...?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg>::Fires at Jekyl::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters the lab just in time to see Dr. Jekyl vanish::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Quickly rushes over to the CEO:: CEO: You get hit?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
Jekyl: What is your damage? Quit firing at us, we are not a threat to you! ::fires again::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Sir, I think we should check that out

ACTION:  The gateway closes behind Dr. Jekyl.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CMO: No, it was a near miss.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Okay what's going on?  ::Getting angered::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Nods:: CEO: Alright.

Dr_Jekyl says:
@To self:  Stupid Starfleet.  Never could leave us alone.  They'll find out.  Just like the other one's found out.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
All: Stand down. He's gone.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
:;Enters lab:: All what is going on!

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: He is a bit...excitable.  Until today he's...I don't know.  Phaser fire?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
*XO*: Commander, please report to our location.

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: You take over the questioning.  I need to catch my breath.
*SO*: On my way.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Dr. Neal:  What is that thing?  ::gestures toward the gateway::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Continues to scan the lab.::

Host XO_Wells says:
::Goes to where SO and CEO are, with Goldberg::  Goldberg: Don't shoot, Its only me.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg> CTO: It's Jekyl sir,he jumped through the gate way and fired at us.

Host XO_Wells says:
SO: Report.

Host Dr_Neal says:
CNS: That's...that wasn't supposed to be active.  It's one of the artifacts we found, I...I didn't know it was in working condition.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
Aloud: This is the Gateway ::In a very surprised voice.::

Dr_Jekyl says:
@To self:  I have work to do.  How am I supposed to get my work done now that they're here.  I know.  I'll set a trap.  If they come through...

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Looks at the CEO again:: CEO: Try not to get hit, It's really the last thing we need right now.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Jekyl is gone sir.

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: He went through?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CMO: I'll do my best to follow that order.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
All:  I thought it was destroyed.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Yeah, and now it's closed.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Smiles:: CEO: Not an order, just a really helpful suggestion.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO; We were fired upon . Someone went through.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: We need to think long and hard about pursuing him through there.

Host Dr_Neal says:
CNS: The working one was destroyed.  We found this one, and thought it was inactive.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Sir I think we need to bring Dr. Neal back up to the ship for some questions.

Host XO_Wells says:
*CO*: Sir, one of the science team, a doctor Jekyl, if you can believe that, disappeared through the gateway.  Can you get a fix on him?  He must be someplace on the planet, just not sure in what reality.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Dr. Neal:  Has Jekyl shown any signs of mental illness lately?

Host Dr_Neal says:
CTO: Based on what?  I had no idea this would happen!  He must have lost his mind.  Maybe he ate something or caught something?

Host XO_Wells says:
SO: Any way of telling where the gateway leads to without entering?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*XO*: Scanning now, so far there's nothing.  We'll keep up the search and increase or range with probes.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: Stand by Commander, I'm still not sure.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Dr. Neal: Maybe or maybe you did know something.  We just got shot at and you knew nothin’ about it?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  No place nearby.  I can't sense Jekyl anymore.

Host XO_Wells says:
*CO*: Understood and thanks, Wells out.

Host XO_Wells says:
CEO: Any kind of probe we can send through?

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Starts to skip off to the castle.::  Out loud:  They're coming to take me away, uh-huh…

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: That's what we did with the first one.  Sent a probe in, programmed to come back on it's own.  Just to make sure it was safe.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Dr. Neal: And what happened to it?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Does this gateway go to the same world as the first one?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: I'm not getting any indication other than power from here Sir.

Host XO_Wells says:
All: I think I should go through.  It can't be dangerous if the crazy doctor went through without a thought.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: I couldn't agree more, but what about Neal?

Host Dr_Neal says:
CTO: It came back, although the data was limited.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Turns and looks at Cmdr. Wells::

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: I'm thinking it goes back to the other lab, but not sure in what reality.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO We can try, but there's no telling if there will be any telemetry from where ever it goes. Do you want me to have one beamed down?

Host XO_Wells says:
CEO: Do you think its worth the effort?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Dr. Neal: Do you know if it leads to the same world as the first gate?

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: He's fine.  Just stay with him and be nice, until he gives reason not to be nice.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO: We really don't know where it goes. I recommend caution.

Host Dr_Neal says:
CTO: I...I don't know.  I would guess so, but as I said, we didn't...I didn't know this one was active.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Yes. It certainly can't hurt.

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Stops along the way to pet a few creatures that have died.::  To dead creature:  It's okay... I'm going to make you well again... soon!

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: I'll Leave Goldberg with him. TO: Keep an eye on him.

Host XO_Wells says:
SO/CEO: It's frustrating I'm not getting answers.  The gateway works, I thought it had been destroyed.

Host Dr_Neal says:
Self: I wonder what else the little rat kept from me?

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Didn't you just tell me it had been destroyed?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Either a different gateway all together, or a replica of the original.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
<TO_Goldberg> CTO: Aye sir, ::Goes over to Dr. Neal::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
XO/CEO: We don't even know how to turn it on. Moves closer to the gate.::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: This isn't the one we had before.  That one was active and powered when we first found it.  This one was here, but seemed dead, for lack of another term.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CEO: Did the gateway close when Jekyl went through?

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Continues to skip off toward the castle, looking for N-tem.::

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Where does it lead to?  Where did Jekyl go and why did he take off like that.  What's he afraid of?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Keeps scanning trying to gather more data.::

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Talk, or I'll let my CTO play with you awhile.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
:;walks over to a console:: XO: I believe we have found the control center for the gateway. ::examines it::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::looks at the Dr and grins::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: I really have no idea, on either question.  Well, I'd guess it goes to the same place as the last one, but...I think I could activate it to test.

Host XO_Wells says:
CEO: Can you figure out how to activate it?

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: But you have to bring the idiot home.  If he kept this from me, what else did he find?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Looks around and notices some animal corpses littered in hiding places in the lab::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Steps closer to the console.:: CEO:  Think we can make it work?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I think so. But I'm loath to create doubles of the crew.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: Us bring him home?

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Grabs a vine from the side of the road; ties it to a tree, and then takes it to the other side of the roadway, and ties it to another tree.::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
All: does anyone else notice the dead animals all over the floor?

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO/ CEO: It will only work for select people.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Neal: What the heck was going on in here?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
SO: I think between the two of us we could activate it. Heck, Neal probably already knows how to use it.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hadn't until the CTO mentioned it::

Host XO_Wells says:
CEO: I could use another me just to do paperwork, so I'll volunteer if needed.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Dr.  Neal:  What sort of people does it work for?

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: Find out why.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: I think Neal might know.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Turns and looks as Ens. Easten’s tone changes.::

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Climbs the tree with a makeshift bag filled with fruit, and hangs it above a branch that hangs over the roadway.::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Takes a closer look at the dead animals on the floor:: XO: Sir, you might wanna take a look at this.

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: I have no idea!  I spent most of my time in the other part of the lab, where we first spoke.  This was supposed to be for storage.

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Climbs down and continues on his way.::

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CMO: What is it?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CEO: This is getting more weird by the minute.

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO/CNS: Do either of you detect deceit from Mr. Neal here?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::concentrates all his attention on Dr. Neal::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
SO: I concur.

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Stops to pet another dead animal.  Picks up the head that fell off the dead animal and places it back on.::

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: It doesn't add up.  You shouldn't even be on this side of the planet.  We don’t know what is going on here and why the gateway is here and operational.  You say there's two gateways?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Sir, these animals have been shocked to death...

Host XO_Wells says:
CMO: Shocked?  Like when we entered through the doorway?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CMO: He must have been using them to test the gate way!

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: Certainly there were, but the one was destroyed.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
XO: Based on the various spots on the corpse, they had electrodes attached to their bodies prior to death.

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: The one at the other lab.  So, why didn't you report the finding of the second one to Starfleet?  They are sponsoring this venture here, you shouldn't have broken contact.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks the XO has a good point::

Host XO_Wells says:
Neal: What did you do to these poor animals?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
SO: See if you can get this thing to turn on. I can't ::Motions to the console::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: I didn't break contact blast it!  My Communication system hasn't given me any messages in...what did I do?  I didn't do anything to them, I'm not some kind of monster!

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CEO: What could Jekyl have been testing on the animals?

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CEO:  I can't get a response either, but I'm not sure we should try to activate it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CTO: Possibly the ability to duplicate them.

Host XO_Wells says:
OPS: Mrs. Nash could you please check the condition of their COM systems please and download any log entries and such?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CEO: To recreate the effect of the gateway?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CTO: Yes.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CEO: It looks like he succeeded.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CEO: The energy for the gateway has to come from somewhere.

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Takes the rabbit foot out of his pocket, and strokes it as he continues to walk toward the castle.::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Commander with your permission, I'd like everyone to take a try at turning this thing on. I believe it may be coded to react to certain DNA elements.

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: So, you think this guy is as in the dark as he seems?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
XO: Are there any wires connected to the gateway that could be powering it?

Host XO_Wells says:
CTO: Check on that with the engineers, I don't do wires.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she begins the daunting task of checking out the conditions of the COM system.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Sadly, yes.

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: How can you think I'd do such petty, cruel things?!  I am an archeologist, not a psychotic!  He must have gone crazy and hid it from me!

Host XO_Wells says:
CEO: What do we do?  ::Steps up to go first::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Just try keying in a few commands.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Are you sure that's a good idea?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
::Steps behind the XO to go second::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::after a few scans through, the news didn't look good.::

Host XO_Wells says:
::Tries working the gateway's console panel::

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: It's touch activated, but only some beings could work it on the other one.

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: No I'm not sure but, I got nothing else.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::shocked:: CNS: What have you done with Mikal?  He always brought 'weird' to a whole new level.

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
CEO:  I really don't think this is a good idea, Perhaps we should report to the Captain.

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
Dr Neal: What beings?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  Jekyl is dangerous.  Send a security team after him.  There is no reason for you to risk your life.

Host Dr_Neal says:
CMO: Jekyl for one.  When he touched it, it responded.

ACTION:  So far no one has been able to activate the gateway console.

Host XO_Wells says:
CNS: What if no tactical types qualify?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
XO:  What if one does?

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
Dr. Neal: And his species is...?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
CMO: We could clone Jekyl. ::chuckles::

SO_Ltjg_Cerdan says:
::Sighs to himself as nothing happens to the gateway.::

Host XO_Wells says:
::Disappointed he isn't selected by the gateway, always did hate rejection::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  Sir, I could not detect any communications either to or from the planet.  The entire com systems are down.  And there is not even a letter to note any logs.  It appears the systems were sabotaged.

Dr_Jekyl says:
@::Notices a dog approaching and pets him.::  Dog:  Now how are you alive?  ::Picks him up. and takes him with him.::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
CTO: I've done everything from plastic surgery to bringing someone back from near death. Cloning is something I avoid like the plague.

Host Dr_Neal says:
CMO: He's a Betazoid.
CTO: What do you mean by that?!

Host XO_Wells says:
OPS: Can you tell how and when the sabotage happened?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::mutters a swear word in Betazoid::

CMO_LtJg_Talora says:
::Glances over at the CNS:: CNS: Mikal...maybe you can activate it?

CTO_Ens_Easten says:
Dr./CMO: I was joking.  We are going to have to open this gateway the hard way.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
XO:  No, whomever did it was very efficient.

Host Dr_Neal says:
::Feels relief.::

Host XO_Wells says:
All: Wait, does this gateway send you someplace else or does it clone you?

Host Dr_Neal says:
XO: The people going through disappeared from here until they returned, for what it's worth.
