::remains unconscious::

Host CTO_Webster says:
@::looks around, getting oriented, and then starts walking in the direction of the chapel::

CMO_Fielding says:
::finishes her Song of the Red-Nosed April and wonders what to sing next::

Zera says:
@::holds Klagh's hand and pulls him along the street:: Klagh: Hurry!

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Continues wandering the streets of this strange town in search of a familiar face::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Purrs quietly to himself as he wonders where they're heading and follows the CTO, keeping his eyes and ears and open.::

Klagh says:
@::Almost runs with Zera.:: Zera: I am.

Host CTO_Webster says:
@EO: Ensign, take some scans of the area and compare them to the ones you took when we first arrived.

CMO_Fielding says:
CSO: Y'know, this semi-darkness is making me sleepy.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sighs and leans against the wall again::  CMO:  I don't think I can just stand here, April.  I need to do something.

CMO_Fielding says:
CSO: Think it might be okay to take a Nap or something?

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Nods to the CTO and starts scanning the area, looking for the crew of the Dragonfly and anything unusual.:: CTO: Aye sirrr.

CMO_Fielding says:
CSO: Okay, then I'll stay in case they come by, and you go look for them.

Host CTO_Webster says:
@Noone: Keep an eye open and your weapon out.  We don't want any surprises.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::looks around at the street signs and such::  CMO:  Hmm.  I think I could find my way back here, as long as I don't get turned around.

CMO_Fielding says:
CSO: Okay, then make sure you don't turn around!!!

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Wonders if he spots a familiar face, how he'll know it's the real deal and not a clone or look-alike.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Understood, sir.  Do you suppose we ought to scan the 'chapel' of theirs, sir?  

Zera says:
@:;glances back at the CTO::CTO: You can't go to the chapel, it's forbidden.

Host CTO_Webster says:
@Noone: I'm already ahead of you.  We'll scan it as soon as we get there.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Zera: What about going *near* the chapel?  Is that forbidden, too?

Klagh says:
@::Glares at the CTO and nods, mumbling in Ancient Klingon that its forbidden.::

Host CTO_Webster says:
@::glances at Zera, but lets Noone continue the conversation::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CMO:  Right.  Then I guess you just stay here... and don't get into trouble, April.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Hears a rather joyous sounding group and heads off in that direction::

CMO_Fielding says:
CSO: Don't worry, I *never* get into trouble!!!  ...well, except that one time I tried to hold up a psych ward, and the time I... well, never mind, I'll be fine!  Go ahead, and keep a commlink open... no, wait, we don't have commbadges... well.... g'luck!!!

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Pauses in his tracks.:: CTO: I'm picking up something here.  ::Taps away at his tricorder, making certain adjustments.::

Zera says:
@Noone: Anyone that goes near the chapel, just......well they . Klagh: Tell him what happens.

Host CTO_Webster says:
@EO: Excellent.  What do you have?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods::  CMO:  Right.....  ::shrugs::  Alright.  Then I'll be back soon.  With friends.  ::picks a direction and heads off down the street::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Looks up with a confused look on his Catian face.:: CTO: I seem to pick up interrrmittant rrrreading of ourrr crrrew and some of the Drrragonflys sirrr.  ::Looks closer at his tricorder.::

CTO_Webster says:
@EO: What?  Where?

CTO_Webster says:
@::stops as they arrive at the chapel:: Noone: Mr. Noone, please scan.  As detailed as possible.

Klagh says:
@::Looks to Noone.:: Noone: Security will be watching your every move.  Once you start walking to the temple, you'll be surrounded. ::Grins.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Rounds the corner of the building and spots some familiar faces... the crew of the Dragonfly.:: Self: Apparently they've found each other.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Aye, sir.  Scanning now.  Hey, we aren't dead yet!

CTO_Webster says:
@::grins:: Noone: And I hope we keep it that way.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh: Sounds cozy to me... I could ask them more questions!

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Looks in a couple of directions and points.:: CTO: Therrre... ::Turns and points again.:: Therrre...  All just out of trrricorderrr rrrange Ma'am.

CTO_Webster says:
@::turns to face Tremlar, frowning in confusion:: EO: You are picking them up out of tricroder range?

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Shakes his head.:: CTO: Just on the edge of trrricorderrr rrrange.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: With his whiskers, sir?  ::looks at Tremlar speculatively::

CTO_Webster says:
@::nods:: EO: Understood.  Do they seem in any danger?  If not, I think we should concentrate on the chapel.

CTO_Webster says:
@::sneaks a grin at Noone::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @::drats.  A crew member with very sensitive whiskers beyond tricorder capabilities would've made a nice addition to the tactical crew...::
 
CTO_Webster says:
@Noone: Anything?

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Concentrates on his tricorder.:: CTO: Not at the moment.  Some seem to be gatherrring Ma'am. ::Turns his tricorder towards the temple as he turns around in a circle.  Then stops.  Says a bit alarmed:: The Executive Officer sirrr!

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The XO begins to come around.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Lots of electrical fields, sir.  Lots of them.  Oh, and the Dragonfly's commbadges are here, sir.  And, yes, as Mr. Tremlar says, Commander Torgh.  OUR Torgh.

CTO_Webster says:
@EO: Where?  And is he OK?  You seem alarmed.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Approaches the group, and the highest ranking one he sees, Commander Frank Lamorie.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::opens his eyes and looks around::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Looks up to the CTO with a nod.:: CTO: He's inside the temple... ::Shakes his head.:: He seems to be coming arrround...

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Self:  What the hell happened?

CTO_Webster says:
@::shakes head:: All: OK, are the electrical fields dangerous?  If so, options on how to disable them.

CMO_Fielding says:
::looks around her for something to nibble.  Nothing comes to mind, so finds some plant life and pretends to eat them instead::

Klagh says:
@::Looks to Zera.:: Zera: Lets tell security.... I don't want to get into anymore trouble than I already am.

CTO_Webster says:
@Klagh: Please don't do that.  I don't want to have to detain you.

Zera says:
@:;looks up for signs of the returning Great Darkness:: Klagh: Yes let's do that.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: I would say that any electrical field at that intensity is dangerous, sir.  I don't know that there is a way to disable it, either.  ::looks to the EO hopefully; maybe he would have ideas::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Cmdr. Lamorie: I'm glad to see you. I'm Captain Grift of the USS Don Johnson.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks around to see what might have hit him::

CTO_Webster says:
@::nods:: Noone: OK, let Ensign Tremlar and I work on that.  I want you to keep a watch on Klagh and Zera.  If they attempt to leave, stun them.

Klagh says:
@::Pushes Zera behind him and slowly walks up to the CTO.:: CTO: You have no right to detain me.  ::Shakes his head.::

CTO_Webster says:
@::shakes head in return:: Klagh: And you have no right to call Security on us.  We haven't done anything wrong.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh: Naw, she won't detain you.  We'll just sit here friendly-like, that's all.

Zera says:
@:;pops out from behind Klagh:: CTO: You do not listen. This place is forbidden.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::keeps walking.... then hears a voice she recognizes and heads toward it::  Self:  Captain?

CTO_Webster says:
@::knowing Noone will do an excellent job of securing Zera and Klagh, turns to Tremlar:: EO: Can you tell how the fields are generated?

Klagh says:
@::Uses his hand behind him to wave Zera away.:: CTO: Your... Cat there said someone is in the temple... Chapel.  ::Says a bit disgusted.:: You... That person has broken... ::Adds emphasis.:: Our laws.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie> ::face brightens at the thought of another Starfleet officer on this planet:: CO: Captain, you must be heading up the rescue party!

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Looks up to Klagh and then to the CTO, then down to his tricorder.:: CTO: Checking now... ::Taps away at his tricorder.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh: Yes, so it's on his conscience.  What's it to you?  You haven't done anything wrong, and you can just walk away from here without even entering the temple.  I mean, it's noble of you to try to stop us from breaking your laws and all that, but.

Zera says:
@:;grabs the EO's tricorder and throws it away: EO: Enough violation of the chapel!

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO/EO: Oh, by the way, did I mention that the Dragonfly crew's commbadges are in there?  Because they are.  

Klagh says:
@::Glares at TO Noone.:: TO: If you have knowledge of some wrong doing... Do you not become an accomplice?

CTO_Webster says:
@::looks startled:: Noone: They are?  Hmmm... ::thinks about the implications:: Did you detect any other commbadges in there?

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh: Accessory after the fact, maybe.  But if we die anyway, what do you care?  I mean, the criminals get their just punishment, and you're home free.  No witnesses.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Looks at Zera and then quickly grabs his tricorder with his big furry pawed hand on his phaser.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Lamorie: My ship was sent here to search for the Dragonfly. However, once we got into orbit we lost all propulsion. And then we apparently experienced the great darkness and I found myself here on the planet, disconnected from my ship and crew.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Checking now, sir.  The tricorder got kind of overwhelmed with all the fields and all.  Talking law with Mr. Klingon didn't make it happier.

Klagh says:
@::Turns and whispers to Zera, telling her to make a break for Security. Then turns to the TO Noone.: TO: Yes... But here, I would be in violation of our laws regarding the chapel...

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CO: Looks like you fell into the same cycle as we did. We've been on this planet and in this city for four days now. And we've still only found about eighty percent of our crew, and the Captain is still missing.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::walks towards the Captain with a happy smile, glad to have found someone she knows.... or hopes she knows....::  CO:  Captain?  Is that you?

Zera says:
@:;nods to Klagh and then moves behind him before making a break to summon security again::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh/Zera: Well, okay, but what exactly would getting security here do?  They can't go into the temple, either, right?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::notices some highly advanced technological equipment::

CTO_Webster says:
@::sees Zera slithering behind Klagh and fingers her phaser.  As soon as she makes a break for it, she fires - on stun::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Quickly draws his phaser after setting it on full wide spread stunn.:: CTO: Ma'am? ::Is becoming a bit confused and wonders what to do.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Sir?  What about locking onto those commbadges in there?  Rolen's still at the shuttle, right?

CTO_Webster says:
@::looks at Tremlar:: Ensign?

Host Captain_Grift says:
::spins around at the sound of a familiar voice:: CSO: Lt Jala?

Klagh says:
@::Growls and advances towards the CTO.:: TO Noone: We're to report any violations....

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  It's me.  Or at least I hope I'm me....  ::smiles and stands beside him, looking at the rest of the group::  Hello there.  I am Lt Jala of the USS Don Johnson.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh: Oh, I see.  To the Kuma dudes?

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Points his phaser at Klagh.:: Klagh: Hold it right therrre. ::Crouches a bit.::

CTO_Webster says:
@::smiles at Noone:: Noone: Excellent suggestion.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::starts to smell something burning, then realizes it's his own hair::  Self:  Must've been singed from that electrial bolt that hit me...

Host Captain_Grift says:
CSO: Have you run across any other members of the DJ's crew?

Klagh says:
@::Looks at the EO with a snarl.:: TO Noone: To security... ::Turns to Zera.::

CTO_Webster says:
@*Rolen*: Mr. Rolen, please lock onto the commbadge signal that is about 10 meters in front of me.  Transport them to the shuttle.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  Yessir, I've found our CMO.  She is waiting for me down the street.

Zera says:
@::feels a stunning effect through her body and slowly starts to fall over::

CMO_Fielding says:
::sings: We're all standing on this weirdo planet-place, this weirdo planet-place, this weirdo planet-place!!!::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::feels a bit nauseous and sits on the floor for a moment::

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> @*CTO*: Aye, sir.  ::attempts the transport::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::points to Commander Lamorie:: CSO: This is Commander Frank Lamorie of the USS Dragonfly... with about eighty percent of his crew.

Zera says:
@::drops to her knees looking up at Klagh::

Klagh says:
@::Knows that Security will be informed of that phaser fire and stands there, glaring at the EO.::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Smiles at the Commander::  Lamorie:  It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.  ::holds out her hand for a shake::

Zera says:
@::finally hits the ground, her face pushed into the dirt::

Klagh says:
@::Turns slowly back to Zera and kneels down beside her, trying to comfort her as best as he can.::

CTO_Webster says:
<Rolen> @::taps away at his console in frustration:: *CTO*: Commander, I can't get a lock.  Something in that building is inhibiting the lock.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh: Don't worry, sir.  She's just stunned, is all.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>:: Shakes the Lieutenant's hand:: The pleasure is all mine ma'am.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::eyes the equipment and wonders how to shut this place down::

CTO_Webster says:
@::shakes head:: *Rolen*: Understood.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Slowly advances on Zera and Klagh as he scans the area for any security.:: CTO: We'rrre in it now... ::Covers Klagh and Zera.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh: So tell me... you're afraid of security, AND you're afraid of the Kumas?  This must be a scary kind of world.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods then looks at her cap'n::  CO:  Do we have any plans, sir?

CTO_Webster says:
@EO/Noone: That's not going to work.  We need to find another way into the chapel.  Suggestions?

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Uh, just go in there?  

Host Captain_Grift says:
CSO: For starters, you can lead us to the Doctor and we'll go from there.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Or, better yet, throw one of our tricorders in there and see what happens to it?

CTO_Webster says:
@Noone: That might be dangerous, as you said, with the electrical fields.  We need to shut them down.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::regains some strength and stands again::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: I might be able to, you know, recalibrate a tricorder to simulate the electromagnetic properties of a person or something.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  No problem, sir!  Follow me.  ::turns on her heel and leads the way back to april::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::walks over to a control panel and wonders how it works::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::waves at Commander Lamorie and his group to follow him and heads off down the street.::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Stands over Klagh and Zera as he intermittently looks at the others whom seem to be wondering what's going on.:: CTO: I think we may have company soon....

CMO_Fielding says:
::still singing: London Bridges falling down, falling down, falling down... ::stops singing abruptly:: oops, she's the GOOD doctor... ::starts singing again:: Lincoln Hyde is falling down, falling down, falling down...::

Klagh says:
@::Shakes his head and wonders when Security will come and save them from these lunatics as he continues to comfort Zera, trying to revive her.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @Klagh: Hey, dude, I know how important this gal is to you and all, and I grant you she's cute, but she'll be okay.  Really.

CTO_Webster says:
@::touches her eyebrow as she thinks:: Noone: Scan the field again.  See if you can find any weak spots in it?  If there is one, we'll try sending something or someone through that area.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Aye, sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @::dutifully scans again::

CTO_Webster says:
@EO: Understood.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CMO:  April!  Look who I found! ::Leads the captain and crew to April's side::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::hopes the crew will somehow find him::

CMO_Fielding says:
CSO: Hey-hey!!!  Not bad at all!!!  Great job, Doc!  Gimme five!

Host Captain_Grift says:
::spots the doctor:: CMO: Well at least we have three of us together.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::snickers and goes to do just that::

CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Yes, sir!  I'd offer to give you five, but I think that's hardly appropriate for me to do, sir.  Glad to see you.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::turns towards Commander Lamorie's group:: CMO: I'd like to introduce you to Commander Frank Lamorie and the partial crew of the USS Dragonfly.

CMO_Fielding says:
80% of the Dragonfly Crew: Hi!  Nice to meet you!  I'm April Fielding, and if you've got a headache, sorry, I can't help you, they didn't let me bring my medkit down here!

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::drops her hand again in confusion::  Self:  oh.

CTO_Webster says:
@Noone: Anything?

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CMO: It's a pleasure to meet you Doctor. My crew is in good health and not in need of medical attention, but thanks for the offer.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Well, the tricorder's finally 'fessed up that there is a weak spot.  Right here.  ::points:: Also, the commbadges of some Don Johnson crew members are in there as well.  The ones who came down during the Great Darkness, no doubt.

CTO_Webster says:
@Noone: Is the spot large enough for someone to go through?

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Yes, sir.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::decides that sitting around and wondering won't do any good, so he goes to the control panel that appears to control weapons and tries to disable them::

CTO_Webster says:
@EO/Noone: I'm going to go through the hole.  I'll contact you when I get in the chapel. If I make it OK, I want you two to follow.  Understood?

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  So.  What now?

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Er, aye, sir, but wouldn't you rather send someone expendable, like me?

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Nods towards the CTO as he still covers Zera and Klagh with his phaser.::

CTO_Webster says:
@::shakes head at Noone and walks closer to the chapel::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Lamorie: You're crew has been down here longer than we have. Where are people usually transported to during the great darkness?

CTO_Webster says:
@::takes a look at her tricorder and quickly steps through the hole::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @::shrugs, but hopes that the CTO makes it through all right.  No one's loss if Noone got killed, but... oh, well, Commading Officer's discretion and all that::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::pushes a button, hoping it will deactivate the weapons::

CTO_Webster says:
@::feels the hairs on her skin stand up, but nothing much else::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @EO: Think she'll make it, sir?  

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: Oh, and if Captain Grift doesn't mind my asking... how many times have you experienced the Great Darkness since your arrival?

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CO: There is no real pattern that I can tell, sir. Your crew could be anywhere.

CTO_Webster says:
@::knows she is through the field and taps her commbadge:: *EO/Noone*: I'm through.  Be careful. I'm going to take a look around.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Doesn't take his eyes off of Zera and Klagh, but nods.:: TO Noone: Aye... I hope so.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::thinks he hears a mechanical whir, indicating the sound of... something... shutting down::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Glad to hear it, sir.  Er, what do you want us to do with Klagh and Zera?  We can't compel them to break the rules, too.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Self:  Anything being shut down in this place must be a good thing...

CTO_Webster says:
@::pulls out her tricorder, while keeping her phaser at the ready, and scans the area::

CTO_Webster says:
@*Noone*: Don't worry about them.  Security will know we are here by now, so let them go.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CMO: Since we've been here, maybe a dozen or so times.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Understood, sir.  Following you soon.  Zera/Klagh: Well, it was nice getting to know y'all, but it's time to say goodbye.  We're going to go break the law, and we won't make you do it with us.  So long, be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @::follows the narrow corridor of safety that the CTO had taken::

CTO_Webster says:
@::glances at her tricorder:: *EO/Noone*: I think I've found the XO.  Just follow my steps when you get here.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Aye, sir.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Looks to the TO and nods.  Then holsters his phaser and starts following TO Noone.::

CTO_Webster says:
@::walks in the direction of the XO, walking up behind him:: XO: Sir!

Klagh says:
@::Picks up Zera and quickly makes his way to local Security to report the law breakers.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::jumps::  CTO:  Um.... Lieutenant Commander Webster!  It's good to see you!

Zera says:
@:;finds herself in Klagh's arms as she starts to come around::

Host Captain_Grift says:
Lamorie: What have you found out about the Kuma?

CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Hmmmmm... a dozen or more times... were there that many ships in orbit, sir?

CTO_Webster says:
@XO: Good to see you, too, sir.  EO Tremlar and TO Noone are right behind me.  Have you discovered anything?

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Pauses at the entrance.:: TO Noone: Shouldn't one of us stay herrre to guarrrd the entrrrance?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  How did you get in here without getting zapped?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CMO: There were quite a few.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @EO: I don't think so, sir.  After all, this place is forbidden.  No one else wants a piece of it.

CTO_Webster says:
@::grins:: XO: Noone found a hole in the electric field.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Frowns with an irritated purr.:: TO: I just hope we don't get trrraped in therrre...

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  If no one found a hole, how did you get in??

CTO_Webster says:
@::coughs, trying to hid a laugh:: XO: Sir, that's Ensign Noone, one of my tactical officers.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CO: To me it sounds like a big fairy tale, sir. Although one of my crew said he located their chapel when he was lost in the city.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  Ohhhh....  My apologies.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @EO: Well, if we do, we've got phasers.  Come on, live a little, sir.  Starfleet's all about taking weird risks, right???

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  Anyway... I think I may have shut down this place’s defensive systems... but I can't be too sure.

CTO_Webster says:
@::just nods:: XO: Can I take a look?

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Enters and nods.:: TO: But breaking laws? ::Cringes a bit as he fully enters the Chapel.::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  By all means...  ::gestures toward the controls::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @EO: Well, I won't tell if you won't, sir.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Lamorie: Well, I think the chapel would be a good location to start looking for some clues. Can you lead us there?

CTO_Webster says:
@::moves to the console and takes a moment to look it over - it's a bit familiar, and a bit unfamiliar::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @EO: Look.  We're getting our belongings back.  I think that's fair, don't you, sir?

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Pulls out his tricorder and gets a better reading internally of the Chapel.:: TO: Starting scans.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  What's happening with the rest of the crew?

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @EO: Aye, sir.  ::follows the Trail of Webster and finally comes upon them::

CTO_Webster says:
@::frowns:: XO: I think you're on the right track, sir.  But look as this configuration?  I've never seen anything like that before.  I think that's probably the cause of what is going on here.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  Those were my thoughts as well.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Hears others as he looks around and at his tricorder, taking in-depth scans of the systems inside the Chapel.  He hopes and says a prayer that they aren't executed.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO/XO: We're heeeeeeeeeeeeere.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CO: I believe I can, but are you sure you want to go there? The people down here avoid that place at all costs.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  This thing is trapping us here along with the rest of those poor ships out there.

CTO_Webster says:
@XO: So we need to find the plug.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  Exactly.

Host Captain_Grift says:
Lamorie: And I think we need to know why. Lead on Commander.

CTO_Webster says:
@::takes a longer look at the controls:: XO: I think it's this one ::points to an icon of a tornado-like figure::

CMO_Fielding says:
::aw shucks to herself.  Now she has to actually do some work, since Captain probably won't go for the "I'll stay in case they call, you go look for them" routine::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Taps away at his tricorder as he gets some results from his scans, then looks to the XO and CTO.:: XO/CTO: Interrresting place we have herrre...

Host Captain_Grift says:
::waves for the CSO and CMO to follow Commander Lamorie's lead.::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods and follows where he goes::

CMO_Fielding says:
::sighs.  Here we go.  Puts one foot in front of the other and walks behind Lamorie::

CTO_Webster says:
@EO: Yes, it is.  We are trying to shut down this equipment. ::turns her attention back to the XO::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@EO:  Interesting indeed.

CMO_Fielding says:
::feels like singing, "SLEEP in heavenly PEACE!!!" but doesn't, now she's got company::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Turns around to start scanning again as he starts to figure out how these systems work.::

CTO_Webster says:
@XO: Sir, what do you think? ::hovers finger over icon, ready to see if it will turn off the equipment::

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie/CO: What occurs to me is, why is all this happening?  Why all the mystery about the Great Darkness, and why the forbidden chapel?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CMO/CSO: I don't suppose either of you were transported here with any scanning equipment?

CMO_Fielding says:
::babbles on, not sure if it'd been mentioned before or not::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  Go for it.

CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Sorry, sir, picked clean at the gate.

CTO_Webster says:
@::nods:: XO: Aye, sir.  ::boldly touches the icon and then waits to see what happens::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  No sir, I didn't have any with me when we were taken.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  If the end of the world happens, I'll take full responsibility.  ::grins::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Walks around the immediate area as he seems to be following a trail of some sorts.  Then looks up to the CTO with a smile.::

CTO_Webster says:
@::looks around as she hears whirring noises and watches some of the panels darken:: XO: That might have done it.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CMO: I honestly can't tell you Doctor. I see no rhyme nor reason for it. It almost seemingly exists just to spook these folks down here.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  Looks like we've shed some light on the Great Darkness...

CMO_Fielding says:
::walks along, trying to remember a song that involved the big question of WHY, but can't think of any::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Turns around and walks to a cabinet pulls out the DJ crew's commbadges as well as those of the Dragonfly.:: XO/CTO: I've found the commbadges.  ::Starts handing them out.::

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: That's a shame.  Hm, spook them.  Maybe it *is* here to spook them?

CTO_Webster says:
@::raises eyebrow:: XO: Possibly.  But why?  That's what I want to know.  ::turns to Tremlar:: EO: Ensign, see if there is a database.  Download what you can.

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: I mean, how do you take over a world?  By spooking them out, maybe.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Nods and hands the rest of the commbadges to TO Noone.:: CTO: I think it was over here... ::Walks over to what he interpreted as the database and checks it to make sure.::

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CMO: I wouldn't argue that theory. I've seen weirder things in my travels. Perhaps te Kuma relish in being considered god-like.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@CTO:  Well, what else have you found out from my look-alike?

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @::is so hungry he could eat the commbadges, but doesn't::

CTO_Webster says:
@XO: Nothing, sir.  They were very uncooperative.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
All:  But how does this explain people having twins down here?

Host Captain_Grift says:
::notices the chapel as they round the next corner, and the door is ajar::

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: Yes, sir.  What I find interesting is that there have been all these ships here, and one by one, they are brought down here.

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: Er, I mean the crew of the ships.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamoir>CMO: Maybe they need more people to rule?

CMO_Fielding says:
CMO: Maybe Torgh was right, and there are parallel universes.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie> CO: There's your chapel, sir.

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: Oho, that would make sense.  Maybe they need to feel godlike AND emperorlike.

CTO_Webster says:
@Noone: Check out the security systems.  Maybe there's some technology we could 'borrow.'

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: People from the planet begin to come out and stare at the chapel.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Doesn't like any of this as he starts downloading all the information that he can.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Uh, yes, sir.  ::wonders if that's sorta ethical, but looks around anyway::

Host Captain_Grift says:
CMO/CSO: I'm going up to investigate, wait here.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::sighs but nods... she never gets to have fun!!::

CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Aye, sir, but aren't we supposed to be noble and say something like, 'you're too important to risk, sir, let me go to the lions instead'?

CTO_Webster says:
@::frowns as she gets feelings of disapproval from both the EO and TO:: EO/TO: Do you two have a problem?

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie> CMO: Sounds like they have some kind of superiority complex, but I don't know much about psychology.

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: Neither do I, but that's a Secret.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: Not at all, sir.  ::said with a convincing Smile::

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Turns to the CTO with a bit of a frown, then turns to the XO.:: CTO: I'll file it in my report sirrr. ::Turns back to his work.:: Downloading of the database almost complete.

Host Captain_Grift says:
CMO: When I'm done with the lions, they're like kittens. How do you think I became the Captain? ::winks::

CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Well, okay, sir, but if you get into trouble, please yell.  We'll come.

CTO_Webster says:
@::nods at Noone, but turns to Tremlar:: EO: You'll tell me now, Mister.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  I agree with April, sir.

Host Captain_Grift says:
::approaches the door cautiously and peers into the chapel::

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
@::notices the captain outside the door::  CO:  It's safe, sir.  You can come in.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Looks to the CTO and then to the XO.:: CTO: I think it's best saved for a report... We have a ship to return to....

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @CTO: It occurs to me, sir, that with the systems shut down, we could send people back.

Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: How did you get here? ::enters the chapel::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @EO: Agreed, sir.  We sure do.  Well, you do, anyway.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CMO:  He went in.... think we should follow?

CTO_Webster says:
@::looks back and forth between Noone and Tremlar:: Noone: Yes, talk to the XO about getting everyone back to where they belong.  Plus, we need to see what the people from this planet will need.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  My own two feet brought me here.  Not without punishment, mind you.

CMO_Fielding says:
CSO: Sure, why not.  Maybe they need someone who pretends to know something about psychology.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::nods and follows the CO to the chapel::

CTO_Webster says:
@::turns back to Tremlar:: EO: Mr. Tremlar, I do not like my team members to blatantly show their disapproval for our operations and keep it to themselves.  Speak now or go on report for insubordination.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie> CMO/CSO: He did say to stay put.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @XO: Sir.  Sir?  I'm Ensign Noone.  Commander Webster's asked me to talk to you about sending the Dragonfly and Don Johnson crew back to their ships.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Noone:  Ensign who?

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: By golly, you're right.  I guess we'd better stay put, then.  Oh, well.  His loss.  My psychobabble skills were getting so good.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::stops and stares at the chapel, arms crossed over her chest::

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CMO: Perhaps you'd like to try out your psychobabble on me? Maybe over a cup of coffee?

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @XO: That's not important, sir.  Just let's start sending the crews back, sir.  There's still the way to go home.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Stands up and nods.:: CTO: Aye sirrr... ::Says a bit irritatedly.:: Disapproval is one thing... Insubordination is another sir. ::Looks over at the others.:: I have in no way been insubordinate about anything.  You must have felt my disapproval of how things have been handled.  It's one thing to go firing upon unarmed civilians.. Like that lady.

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: Well, maybe, sir, if there's time.  This place is so barbaric, though, I don't think they have coffee.

EO_Tremlar says:
@CTO: Its another to accuse me of being insubordinate when I am clearly not sirrr.

CTO_Webster says:
@EO: Ensign, I did not say you Were insubordinate. I said you would have been if you did not tell me what your problem was.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Shakes his head.:: CTO: It's another thing to clearly violate native laws too...

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CMO: Actually I know of a few places around here... and the Dragonfly also has a very nice lounge.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Raises an eyebrow at April::

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: Wow, on this little planet?  How awesome!  Hmmmm, how large is the lounge on your ship, sir?

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
Noone:  Right.  Good idea, Ensign....  er...  Good idea, Ensign.

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @XO: Sir.  I'd like to ask you for permission to stay here.  To... to find out more about them, to live with them.

CTO_Webster says:
@EO: For the record, Ensign, when an unknown force whisks you from your area of space and abducts the crew from the ship, their laws are no longer valid.  Is that Understood?

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @XO: I don't think we've come close to the bottom of this planet's story yet, and I doubt we'll have time to find out.  I'd like to stay and find out.  I'd like to help them with their fears of the Kuma.

EO_Tremlar says:
@::Nods but still frowns.:: CTO: But were we in violation of one of their laws in being in orbit of this planet sir?  If we were... Then that also has precedence too sir...  That can not be ignored.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>CMO: It's fairly large. We don't have much other recreation on the Dragonfly, so the lounge is prime meeting spot.

CMO_Fielding says:
Lamorie: Well, if Captain Grift gives me permission, I'd be glad to come visit.  ::smiles::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::looks around and puts her hand on her console with a sigh::  Self:  About time.

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The crew of the DF  and the crew of the DJ have been transported back to their ships

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: TO Noone stays behind to help the natives cope.

CTO_Webster says:
::finds herself on the DJ, at tactical::

Host Captain_Grift says:
::Suddenly finds himself back on his bridge, amongst his crew again.::

CMO_Fielding says:
<TO_Noone> @::looks around him.  Everyone else is gone.  Goes outside of the chapel and looks for Klagh and Zera...::

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  Sir, everything seems to be in working order.  There's only one way to find out, though.

CTO_Webster says:
::does a quick diagnostic:: CO: Sir, tactical is fully operational.

EO_Tremlar says:
::Is in Main Engineering of the Don Johnson and is finishing up his ship wide diagnostics.:: *XO/CO*: Sirrs?  The ship is fully operrrational and rrready forrr flight mode operrrantions.

Host Captain_Grift says:
<Lamorie>:: Quickly runs over to a console and sends Dr. Fielding a message.::

CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Say, Captain, I was wondering... if we ever run into the Dragonfly again... might I visit their ship for a little bit?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CMO: Most certainly Doctor.

XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  So, how do we get out of this universe?

CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Thank you, sir.  ::smiles::

CMO_Fielding says:
XO: Go in the opposite direction from where we were heading before?

Host Captain_Grift says:
CSO: Let's try to get out of here the way we got in. Set a reverse course for our original entry point into this area.

CTO_Webster says:
::scans the other ships and finds them powering up as well::

Host Captain_Grift says:
COM:DF: We think we know the way out of here. Follow us.

EO_Tremlar says:
   ::Sees his promotion to Chief Engineer and smiles with a purr as he purrs with the warp core.::

CTO_Webster says:
   CO: Sir, all the other ships are powering up.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
   CO:  Yessir!  ::slaves Nav and puts in some coordinates::  Ready whenever you are, sir.

Captain_Grift says:
   CSO: Engage.

CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::engages::

CMO_Fielding says:
::sends a note to Lamorie: "Captain says visit okay if we're in the vicinity.  I think he means after we get out of this weirdo place.  See you then!"::

Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: Both the DF and the DJ are whisked into the swirling lights and come out where they began.

Host ACTD_Chris says:
