Mission Summary: 10607.13
Host Susan says:
The crew of the USS Don Johnson have been assigned to patrol the Bad Lands.  During their normal patrol, they encountered a malfunctioning weapons platform.  
Host Susan says:
It appears that either something from the platform has damaged the computer systems, or an outside force is affecting them.  
Host Susan says:
Currently orbiting a landmass within the Bad Lands, the crew are attempting to decipher which problem is true.

::takes a seat in the lounge::
CEO_McPhee says:
::standing in the lounge::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::standing with the three babies in her arms::
FCO_Newell says:
::still wondering why everyone thinks she's crazy::
CIV_Turok says:
::Standing with the FCO::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
All: OK  Lets figure out what is going on.  We got a problem with the computer.  We also have gone into the badlands against orders.
FCO_Newell says:
CIV: Why don't they believe me?
CEO_McPhee says:
::looks at Deb in disbelief::
XO_Arca says:
::places the phaser on his hip and tries a to think of a way to out smart Fate
CIV_Turok says:
FCO: They might be affected by the life form onboard.
Host Fate says:
ACTION: Newell and Turok dematerialize from the lounge only to find themselves on the surface.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CEO:  I think your fiancée has been tricked by our young ambassadors in some way or this AI called Fate has mentally done something to her.  I am not sure a meld would help.  What we need to do is get control of our ship again and return to our patrol route.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::blinks:: All: What the hell..........
XO_Arca says:
::looks over just in time to see the FCO and CIV disappear::
Host Fate says:
::returns to the lounge::
FCO_Newell says:
::looks around:: CIV: Where are we?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
@Fate: OK this has gone far enough.
CEO_McPhee says:
CO: I think so too, sir.
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: Not sure. But I am glad I'm with you.
Host Fate says:
CO: You don't understand Captain, your journey has just begun.
XO_Arca says:
Fate: What do you mean by that?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: What journey?  You have pulled us off course and against orders.
FCO_Newell says:
@::gets closer to him:: CIV: Me too.  That brother of mine was sure acting strangely.
Host Fate says:
ACTION:  The surface is like a lush tropical forest, birds and animals can be heard all around them.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::gently rocks the three babies back to sleep::
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: Well I am not sure if he really likes me or not.
Host Fate says:
XO: You have so much to learn, talents that need to be brought to the surface.  You will see.
FCO_Newell says:
@CIV: What's not to like?
CEO_McPhee says:
::begins to pace::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: Talents?  Brought to the surface?
XO_Arca says:
Fate: Me or the crew as a whole?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
~~~XO: Mark I don't like this.~~~
Host Fate says:
CO: Yes, talents...abilities that you don't use.
XO_Arca says:
~~~CO: There is nothing to like about this.~~~
CEO_McPhee says:
Fate: I don't want to learn any of your talents.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CEO: I think Fate means talents that we each possess.
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: Some people don't like my past and some don't like the fact that I am Vulcan.
Host Fate says:
CEO: You could do anything you wish with just your mind, if you would only learn to use it.  
XO_Arca says:
Fate: What if we refuse to learn?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Self: I hate when I am right.
Host Fate says:
CEO: That pot, pour the contents into the cup beside it.  Use your mind, see it and do it.
FCO_Newell says:
@CIV: I'm not one of them, Turok.  I think your past is intriguing.
Host Fate says:
XO: It's part of your nature to learn, you can't refuse.
CEO_McPhee says:
Fate: Listen all I want is Deb to come back to me, can I do that with my mind?
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: Well the fact that I used to have to fight people in death matches can upset some. Are you ok after the transport?
Host Fate says:
ACTION: Newell and Turok both see Fate as she walks into a small clearing toward them.
FCO_Newell says:
@CIV: I seem to be. Oh look there!
XO_Arca says:
::looks over at the chief and see what he does::
CIV_Turok says:
@::Watches Fate approaching::
CEO_McPhee says:
Self: Fine ::tries with his mind to pour the water in the cup::
Host Fate says:
CEO: She knows truths that some fail to see.  Perhaps she sees a truth that you do not wish to admit.
CEO_McPhee says:
Fate: And what truth is that?
Host Fate says:
@ FCO/CIV: Do you approve of your new home?  Come, I will show you more.
FCO_Newell says:
@Fate: New home?  But, we liked our old one, just fine.
XO_Arca says:
CO: What do you think would happen if we ignored Fate?
Host Fate says:
CEO: She can see into the mind and body of others.  Perhaps she sees the genetics of your species.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
:;watches with some concern::
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: Don't be hasty.
CIV_Turok says:
@Fate: Carry on please.
FCO_Newell says:
@::shrugs and follows::
Host Fate says:
@FCO: I am sure you did.  But here you will be able to learn how to use your new skills.  Come... ::leads the pair deeper into the forest, and slowly up a winding footpath::
Host Fate says:
XO: You can ignore me, but you can not ignore destiny or nature.
CEO_McPhee says:
Fate: You know what, I'm sick and tried of all your truths.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CO: Fate what is your purpose?
CEO_McPhee says:
::walks over to the XO and whispers:: XO: Sir, please tell me you have a plan.
Host Fate says:
@FCO/CIV: This leads to our encampment.  You will find it peaceful and comfortable there.
Host Fate says:
@FCO/CIV:  All of your needs will be provided for.
CIV_Turok says:
@Fate: How many others are there?
XO_Arca says:
CEO: I wish I did Chief but it’s hard when an AI takes over the computer
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
All: Something is very wrong here.
Host Fate says:
CO: As of now, I am simply a guide.  I was sent to open your eyes and bring you to this place.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: A guide to open our eyes about what?  Different abilities that each of us have?
Host Fate says:
@CIV: Nearly four hundred now.  
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: Or new ones that you will give us?
CEO_McPhee says:
XO: Sir, is there anyway to get to engineering?
Host Fate says:
CO: Yes
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: Sounds like an adventure and it will be with you to boot. What could be better.
Host Fate says:
ACTION:  Fate leaves the lounge again.
FCO_Newell says:
@CIV: I can't think of anything.
XO_Arca says:
CEO: We need to disable all the internal sensors at once without being noticed
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: OK going on the assumption......::gets a bit angry::
XO_Arca says:
CEO: Can you do that?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CEO: You are going to have to override the safeties.
CEO_McPhee says:
XO: Yes, sir.
XO_Arca says:
~~~CO: We need to over load the computer core.~~~
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
~~~XO: I know but the question is how to do it without Fate sensing it.~~~
FCO_Newell says:
@Fate: So, what made you pick us?
Host Fate says:
ACTION:  The trio on the surface leave the forest for a large compound, lined with two story buildings obviously built from crashed ships.  
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: I wonder how long they have been here and how they got here?
Host Fate says:
@FCO: I did not choose you, you found me.
XO_Arca says:
~~~CO: If the CEO tries to cut off the internal sensors, you talk with Fate and I'll connect my phaser to the ODN lines~~~
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
~~~XO: That is if I can get Fate back here.~~~
FCO_Newell says:
@CIV: We can ask them.
XO_Arca says:
~~~CO: You have any better ideas?~~~
Host Fate says:
@CIV: Many of the people here came on doomed ships.  Their vessels crashed into the surface and they used the materials to build this stronghold.  Over time, they came to realize that this was fate and have been changed by what happened.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
~~~XO: At the moment I was hoping you had some.  I am fresh out of ideas at the moment.  We need to do something to get Fate back here.~~~
CIV_Turok says:
@Fate: And where are we to live?
FCO_Newell says:
@::looks at the CIV::
Host Fate says:
@CIV: The oldest have been here nearly a hundred years.
XO_Arca says:
CEO: Get to work chief and let nothing stop you
Host Fate says:
@CIV: ::motions to the buildings of the stronghold:: Here...enter, you will see that the outside does not hint at the inner beauty of this place.
CEO_McPhee says:
XO:Aye sir.
FCO_Newell says:
@CIV: I'm game if you are.
XO_Arca says:
::moves over to a panel and opens it::
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: After you. ::Smiling::
FCO_Newell says:
@CIV: Why thank you, kind sir.  ::walks into the building::
CEO_McPhee says:
::moves over to the console and  begins to try and disable the internal sensors::
XO_Arca says:
::pulls a ODN line from a circuit and pulls out his phaser:
Host Fate says:
::returns to the lounge:: ALL: Why do you resist your fate?  
CIV_Turok says:
@::Follows the FCO inside::
CEO_McPhee says:
::continues to enter commands::
XO_Arca says:
::looks for at the CO then Fate::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: I am not  resisting but I know my abilities.
FCO_Newell says:
@CIV/Fate: Oh, this is nice!
Host Fate says:
CO: No, but you will learn, everyone will learn.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: In our language fate means that it is a predestined thing.  Our fates are not predestined.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: We still have the ability to control our own fates.
Host Fate says:
CO: In time, you will see.
XO_Arca says:
::turn his phaser over and removes and panel and starts rework some of the circuits::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Fate: You keep saying in time.  Why?  Have you already predetermined our fate?
CIV_Turok says:
@FCO: Not half as lovely as you though.
Host Fate says:
CO: I am only your guide.  Time will answer all questions.
Host Fate says:
