CEO_LT_DAVE says:
::snoring::

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Flutters and flaps his flashing brilliant colored transparent wings and flies around.::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#OPS: To date, our mission is to find the second away team, we have left the shuttle behind and have not detected anything

CMO_Siwiak says:
::looks down at the sleeping CEO and does a double-take, then gives the guy a slap on the chest with his padd::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
All:  All stations report.

FCO_Fielding says:
::glances at her viewscreen, sees nothing particularly spectacular, and wonders what the AT is seeing these days::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#Amb: Not a trace of the other away team?

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: Helm is as steady as ever, Sir, nothing much going on.  Oh, and my eyes got crossed.

Oorse says:
@::follows the flutter bye as it soars overhead::

SO_Webster says:
@::watches the butterfly, marveling at the brilliant colors::

CEO_LT_DAVE says:

@::Flaps his brilliantly colored transparent wings harder as he tries to escape the Oorse.::

CMO_Siwiak says:
::extends arms outward::  CEO:  Dave!  Long time no see?  What are you doing, faking your way into my sickbay?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Your eyes WHAT?

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
CMO: hey

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#:: looks at the Cylinder and takes out his tricorder running a chemical scan :: Amb: Have you identified what it was used for?

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
CMO: I am CEO on here and I been here longer when you get onboard?

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<River> ::perks his fluffy ears::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: It got crossed, Sir.  When I was trying to look after the Counselor and the CMO at the same time... and the CMO tried to Fix it, but now it's crossed the OTHER way...

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#OPS: This cylinder can fit several people

FCO_Fielding says:
::tries to roll her eyes with frustration, but they're kind of Stuck::

CMO_Siwiak says:
::shakes his PADD at the CEO::  CEO:  'eye, don't start pulling that on me, mister!  I wish I could say you're looking great, but these scans say you're pushing yourself way to hard!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  I thought our good CMO was better than that...  Humph.

Oorse says:
@::changes to a pinkish color and runs around the away team::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#Amb: What are your thoughts? :: continues to run a metallurgical analysis with his tricorder ::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: I think he is... he was under a Lot of Stress at the time... must have been a slight miss in the angle...

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::stands up and walks over to the FCO::

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
CMO: someone has to keep this ship going!!! I don’t see you down helping repairs

SO_Webster says:
@Oorse: Nice color, but why are you running circles around me?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Let me see.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#OPS: I suggest we attempt to contact the ship and ask instructions

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: Here, look.... uh... ::suddenly looks away from Torgh::

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Changes his mind and flies off in another direction as he sees the Away Team, because he doesn't like others not of his kind.::

SO_Webster says:
@::feels a bit strange, talking as if the Oorse will answer::

CMO_Siwiak says:
CEO:  Well, I'm gonna prescribe some medication, but I want you to meet with the Counselor soon.  Other then that, get outta here!  ::walks towards turbolift::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: Sir!!!  I'm detecting another planet on scans!

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: It can't be 'seen,' but it's definitely been detected!

FCO_Fielding says:
::looks back at the XO::

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
CMO: I don’t feel good I am weak still

Oorse says:
@SO:  I show them as respect... do you not have a color for me to see?

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#Ambassador: I agree Ambassador.  COMM: Don Johnson: We have found an odd cylinder that could explain the disappearance of the First Away Team, awaiting instructions.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  What can you make of it?  ::studies her eye for a moment::

CMO_Siwiak says:
::arrives on bridge, then walks over to the FCO::  FCO:  Bah... you still look funny.

SO_Webster says:
@::jumps back as the Oorse speaks:: Oorse: Wha...?? You can speak?  ::pauses:: Forget that, obviously.  Ummm...I can't change colors.

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Smiles as only he can smile as he's lost the Oorse that was chasing him.  Flaps his brilliantly colored transparent wings hard to stop on a perch.::

FCO_Fielding says:
CMO: You're telling me, Doctor!  Can you hit me upside the head again, please, sir?  I need to take a look at these scans here.

CMO_Siwiak says:
::gives the FCO a good hard medicinal slap to the head with his PADD::  FCO:  ...Better?

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
::walks to MENG and  REST in his pofficer and run scans:::

FCO_Fielding says:
::eyes revert back to normal::

FCO_Fielding says:
CMO: Wow!!!  You Da Man, Sir!!!

Oorse says:
@SO:  Can't change colors?  That's right... those of your shape are unable to do so.  The last ones couldn't as well...  ::turns blue::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: I can't see much right now, sir.  Sensors are just detecting that there's another planet, but we can't get a visual.

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
:: go to TL and head to the bridge::

SO_Webster says:
@Oorse: The last ones?  Who were they?

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Walks over to the other side of his perch and watches to Oorse and the away team and tilts his head as he wonders about them.::

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
::take stn behind OPS::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: Hmmmm... whoa... wait... there's another sensor blip... wait...

FCO_Fielding says:
::looks at the scans::

CMO_Siwiak says:
XO:  See?  Good as new!  By the way... our good CEO is over working himself!  Perhaps you should have a talk with him.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*OPS*:  What can you make of this cylinder?

Oorse says:
@::shakes head, then smiles::  SO:  The last ones... they came not to long ago, then left upon their shooting star.

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: There are other planets being detected, sir.  Sensor indicates... oh... about four right now.

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
:: look over the ops stn and  set it to look eng to::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#::scans cylinder with tricorder::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Where?

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#:: steps around the cylinder and looks into it :: COMM: XO: I don't know sir, It seems to be, well, cylindrical.  My scanners aren’t picking up anything unusual.

SO_Webster says:
@Oorse: And they were like me?  ::looks thoughtful:: Interesting.  Would you mind if I ask some questions?

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Finally hears what the Away Team and the Oorse are talking about.  Leans closer to hear them.::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: They're... around here... trying to get a lock.  You know, right now, it's like a light goes blip, and you go, 'where?'

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: sir what going on?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*OPS*:  How do you believe it is tied in with the first away team's disappearance?

Oorse says:
@SO:  There shape... was somewhat different.  ::tags the SO with his nose::  Now you're it!  ::gallops away::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#COMM: XO: I wish I knew sir, It's a start though.

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Flaps his wings that shine brilliantly and leaves his perch.  Swoops down quietly and stops closer to the Away Team, listening intently.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  The doctor tells me you're overworking yourself...

CMO_Siwiak says:
::walks over towards OPS's station, then taps some commands in::

SO_Webster says:
@::shouts:: Oorse: Wait, come back, please.

Oorse says:
#::gallops closer to the other away team, changing from blue to green::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*OPS*:  Okay, keep searching then.

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: sir I will be fine can I get update on what happening sir

SO_Webster says:
@::turns to the butterfly:: FB: Now why did he run off? ::shakes head::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: Okay, here are the co-ordinates... not too far, but not too close... ::feeds the numbers into the XO's PADD::

Oorse says:
#AMB:  You must hide!

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#:: notices the Oorse approaching and pulls his phaser :: COMM: XO: Acknowledged sir, Away Team Two out.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#Oorse: Peace be with you

Oorse says:
#AMB:  The other is coming... and she is it!  You must run and hide before she tags you and you're it!

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Laughs because he isn't it, then quickly shuts his mouth.  Stops in his tracks and tries to pretend that he's not there in hopes that the Away Team doesn't see him.::

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Our first away team has disappeared.  The second team is looking for them.  We've discovered more planets in this system.   That's about all I know for now.

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#:: steps in front of the Ambassador with his phaser drawn and pointed at the Oorse :: Oorse: Identify yourself.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO:  Thank you.  ::reads the PADD's contents::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#Oorse: Did you grow up here?

SO_Webster says:
@::looks closely at the FB:: FB: Did you just laugh?  It sounded like a laugh.

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: sir can I take an armed shuttle to another planet to see  if there anything tying it to these by any chance?

CMO_Siwiak says:
CMO:  I say we torch the whole planet and- oh wait, that isn't Starfleet-like.  Perhaps some probes... yeah, probes!  We launch a string of 'em in lower orbits to the surface, then bounce the signal and establish contact with the team!

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#*Sea to XO* We have made contact with alien life

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*OPS*:  Please enter the cylinder and report your findings to me.

Oorse says:
#AMB:  Yes!  My name is <Universal Translator unable to process>, but you can call me... Bob.

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Sits still on his perch, still hoping that they'll just leave.::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#*XO*: Acknowledged sir. :: looks to the Ambassador :: Amb: Will you be alright?

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#OPS: Yes I will communicate with the creature

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#:: nods and slowly approaches the cylinder and steps inside ::

Oorse says:
#AMB:  Creature?  Are you not of that shape as well?

SO_Webster says:
@::doesn't really expect an answer from the FB so heads back to the cylinder::

FCO_Fielding says:
::wonders what-all is going on with the Away Team as she picks up an apple and Gobbles::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#Oorse: Are there other's like you here?

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: sir can I take an armed  shuttle to another planet to see  if there anything tying it to these by any chance?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::grins and looks over at River::  What do you think of this situation, number one?  ::chuckles::

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Can't help but to blush brilliantly.  His wings flash bright colors too.:: Self: Oh no....

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#:: keeps his phaser drawn and tricorder open and scanning while continuing to enter the cylinder ::

Oorse says:
#AMB:  Many...  ::changes to a pure white::  ...and many unlike me!  We greet you to our world!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Negative.  I don't want anyone else leaving the ship at this time.

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: aye SIr what about sending a probe out?

CMO_Siwiak says:
XO:  How 'bout them probes.... we've got so many.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO/FCO:  Continue scanning the planet and give me whatever information you find.   You may send out a probe if you like.

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Cant control his laughter anymore and busts out laughing hard.::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: Aye, sir.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#Oorse:  I am going into this cylinder now

Oorse says:
#::raises his forelegs into the air, then brings them back down as he turns a dark orange::

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
::OPS:::

SO_Webster says:
@::hears laughter from behind her and turns back::

FCO_Fielding says:
::to Probe or not to Probe, that is the big Question Mark::

Oorse says:
#AMB:  Indeed!  So shall I... and company we shall have both!

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<River>::hops into the XO's chair and perks his ears::

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
FCO: can you come to OPS please

SO_Webster says:
@::only sees the FB:: FB: It's you laughing, isn't it?  ::walks back to FB::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:

SO_Webster says:
@::nods:: FB: Yes, it is.  But what do you find humorous?

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
FCO: I want you to look over the probe setting before I launch it

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<Riverwind> ::points paw at the CMO seat::

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Bows his head as he spreads his wings wider.  Then pulls them in.:: SO: I almost fooled you! ::Laughs hearted again.::

FCO_Fielding says:
CEO: Aye, sir.  ::walks over to the OPS station, making sure that the comm is actually Not Going to Do Anything Bad while She's Gone::

@FB: Ohhhhh...yes, you almost did.  Good joke.  :;smiles:: Can you tell me about yourself?

FCO_Fielding says:
::thinks she Hears Something, but tries not to look around::

Oorse says:
#::shakes head, and bangs on the cylinder before running off for the SO::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#OPS: We appear to be trapped

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
FCO: I am sending total of 4 out to each plant and linking them to the sensors aboard the ship

FCO_Fielding says:
::examines the flight path of the probe.  Doesn't hit anything Bad and Cause Major Problems.  Check.::

CEO: Looks all right to me, Sir.  Godspeed.

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: A small panel opens and there are several glowing blue buttons.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*OPS*:  What is your status?

Oorse says:
@::arrives back towards the SO::  SO:  You can no longer be it!  My hooves are beginning to itch and I find I can no longer play this game!

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Blushes again, and dips his head as he's not use to talking about himself and is shy.  Says softly..:: SO: But why?

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: ready to launch 4 probes, Sir

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#:: scans the cylinder that now holds them prisoner and tries to find a means of escape.... finds the panel and approaches it :: Amb: Ambassador, over here.

#OPS: We appear be rats in the proverbial maze

FCO_Fielding says:
CMO: Sir!  You didn't Happen to See a Pretzel lying about, did you?

Oorse says:
@::jumps quite high and tags the Flutter Bye::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#*XO*: Sir we entered the cylinder as you requested, and we now find ourselves in another location.

FCO_Fielding says:
::scans the surrounding area for anything more Interesting.  Not that many things can be more interesting than talking dogs, but::

SO_Webster says:
@::jaw drops as the Oorse tags the FB:: Wow!  That’s amazing.

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Sighs and continues to laugh.:: Self: How can he do that!  He gets me every time! ::Turns back around and swoops down.::

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: sir can I get you to input you code to prepare eng for lock down

Host AGM_Chris says:
ACTION: The planets disappear from the scans. Any communications from either AT is cut.

Oorse says:
@FB:  I wonder what is of the others that have landed...

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*OPS*:  So this cylinder is some sort of gateway?  Or is it a holographic environment?

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: Uhhhhhh... Sir... um...

SO_Webster says:
@::sees the FB swooping and tries to stay out of his way::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#*XO*: Request further instructions. :: taps his comm. badge again :: *XO*: Sir?

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: We just lost sensor readings of the planets.  We also lost comm. with the Away teams.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
FCO: What's going on?

CMO_Siwiak says:
::makes a puppy dog look at River::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#::frowns at the loss of communications::

FCO_Fielding says:
XO: Unknown, sir.  Running sensor and comm. diagnostics now.

FCO_Fielding says:
::runs some diagnostics by pressing F8::

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<Riverwind> ::sly grin and points paw at CMO chair::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
#::frowns, too, looks around in her head for the counselor.::

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Swoops to the Oorse and flaps his wings, hovering.  Tilts his head as he wonders.:: Oorse: Hmm.. I don't know. ::Laughs suddenly.:: Probably asking others stupid silly questions!

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: sir I recommend Yellow alert sir

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#CSO/Amb: It appears we have lost communications with the Ship; we should find the First Away Team and recover communications post haste.

CMO_Siwiak says:
River:  Fine... fine!  ::walks to CMO's chair::

SO_Webster says:
@FB: they aren't stupid silly questions...we are a curious people.

Oorse says:
@FB:  Ahahahaha... silly indeed!  Pointing their light sticks in the air like the last ones!

FCO_Fielding says:
::to no one in particular:: So much for that visual from the probes...

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
#OPS:  Sure, easier said than done, without any readings on them.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CEO:  Go to yellow.

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
XO: aye sir

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
:: sets the alarm off for yellow alert:::

CMO_Siwiak says:
XO:  Not to sound crazy or anything... but why don't we just try firing phasers at where the planet was.  If it's cloaked, we'd hit it... right?

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Flies around in circles around the SO.:: SO: Oh... ::Looks to the Oorse and giggles, his transparent wings changing to a pretty pink.::

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#CSO: Have any better ideas?

Oorse says:
@::matches the pretty pink, but adds in some red dots::

FCO_Fielding says:
CMO: Yes, and we could instigate a war.  I *don't* think so, sir.

SO_Webster says:
@Oorse: Very impressive.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  I believe the FCO has read my mind.

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Flies around the SO and looks to the Oorse with a sigh, wishing he could have pretty spots to.::

FCO_Fielding says:
CMO: If you ever want to... you know... Discuss your Feelings of Aggression, you know, I do have a Psych Degree...

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
#OPS:  Not at the moment.  Just the city, I guess that's the best place to start.  I'm just saying that this could take forever if they took that cylinder to a different place, as we did.

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
FCO: try bringing one the probe around to behind where the planet was and hook straight into the main sensor network

SO_Webster says:
@FB/Oorse: Are there others like you on Manimal?

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  I highly recommend what the FCO's suggesting.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
#AMB:  Yes, why do you ask?

CMO_Siwiak says:
::shakes hands::  XO:  Ok, ok, ok... how 'bout... how 'bout we ask the computer what happened within this system during the last minute that was different from what's been considered normal.  You know, make a list of strange occurrences that might have caused our planet to disappear?

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#CSO: So you are suggesting that there could be other places similar to this?

FCO_Fielding says:
CMO: Much better.

FCO_Fielding says:
::smiles at the CMO::

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
FCO: try bringing one the probe around to behind where the planet was and hook straight into the main sensor network

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  Okay, go ahead.

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Flies around the SO as fast as he can, leaving a streak of brilliant colors behind him, making it look like a wall of pretty pink.:: SO: But he can't do this!

SO_Webster says:
@Oorse: Wait; did you say you saw others like me?  Where?

CMO_Siwiak says:
XO:  Meanwhile, we can use a... ::makes quotes with his fingers::  ...non-lethal "Laser Beam" to aim at the planet, and see if it curves around the space we aim it at, or if it is absorbed.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  No, no laser beams.

FCO_Fielding says:
CMO: Uh-uh, getting a bit trigger-happy, are we, sir?  Laser beams may not be lethal, but it may SEEM lethal.

CMO_Siwiak says:
XO:  Non-lethal ones!  Just light!

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Laughs and shouts back as he streaks up into the sky.:: Self: I can fly!  I can fly!  I can fly through the sky!

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  You may make your inquiry to the computer.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
#::scans area for power source::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
#OPS:  That's exactly what I'm saying.  There were dozens of buttons in that thing. We chose one, they could have chosen another.

SO_Webster says:
@::laughs at the FB's antics::

CMO_Siwiak says:
XO:  Better yet... something passive!  Yeah... or maybe just launch a probe and see if it disappears!

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#Self: Interesting, Interesting... CSO/Amb: Perhaps we should try setting up our tricorders to boost the signal of our comm. badges and try contacting the Away Team similarly.

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  Okay, non-lethal lasers... But I'll have the CEO take care of that.

FCO_Fielding says:
CEO: Sorry, sir, we lost the probes, long may they... transmit to someplace.  But not to us.

Ambassador_John_Sea says:
<Riverwind> ::rests head on XO's armrest ::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
#OPS:  That sounds like a good idea to me.

Flutter_Bye says:
@::Swoops back down to land on the Oorse.:: Oorse: Shall we go look for the others?

CMO_Siwiak says:
Computer:  Make a record of all events that have occurred in the last minute that are classified as "abnormal" in this system.  Gamma ray bursts, changes in climate or changes in levels of radiation, etc...

Host XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
River:  I'd like to hear your advice...

CEO_LT_DAVE says:
FCO: ready 4 more please

Oorse says:
@::shakes head, then turns to a rainbow of colors::  FB:  Indeed!

OPS-Toros_Asadourian says:
#:: opens up his Tricorder into service configuration and takes off his comm. badge :: All: Lets get started.
