<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::Suddenly, she realizes the irony of all of the people who used to tell her she needed to come out of her shell.::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::walks onto the bridge with a coffee in hand and let's out a little yawn, walks over to the Main Tactical:: CTO: Morning Commander.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: OK where in the name of Kahless are we???
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::waits for the TO's reaction:: ::This should be fun.::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Moves close, but not too close, to T'Ponga:: CO: Captain what are we going to do about that?  ::nods towards the quills::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Lt.  ::stifles a yawn::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::still a bit leery of her console, nonetheless tries to answer the captain's question by looking at her sensors::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: The quills can wait. I need answers now.  My ready room in 15 minutes with your department’s opinions.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: That goes for the entire senior staff.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Sensors indicate that the nearest Federation outpost is on Cygnet, and 3000 light years away.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Holds up her tricorder:: CO: Understood
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CO request and gets to the nearest station::
CEO_McPhee says:
::in main engineering looking over ship systems::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::On the bridge, finishing up work on the IDS.::  *CEO*:  Lieutenant McPhee. I got Inertial Dampening back online.  Need any help down there?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Captain, sensors indicate that the nearest Federation outpost is on Cygnet, which is 3000 light years away.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Lemmick’s hands begin changing shape, taking on the form of talons.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: That means your husband as well.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Aye, Captain.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::looking at a blinking science console, unable to get the blinking thing to work::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Jonathan, Captain's called a meeting in 15 minutes in her ready room.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: Chief...sensors.....there showing nearest Federation outpost is 3000 light years away....::looks at his hands:: What the hell?!?
CEO_McPhee says:
*EO*: Good Ensign. I think I have it under control, besides I am on my way to the bridge now.
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::closes up eng. kit::  *CEO*:  aye sir.
CEO_McPhee says:
*FCO*: 15 mins. We’ll be there.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Again the telepaths here the faint sound of giggling.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: Good, see you there.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::gets out of her chair:: Out loud: There it is again that giggling.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::hears nothing this time::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::moves back up to TAC 1:: TO: At the speed we were traveling, I'd have been surprised if we were still in Federation space....... Lt.  hold still. ::moves over to him and scans him with her tricorder::
CEO_McPhee says:
::exits main engineering and heads for a turbo lift::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: Are you sure?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: Ah Lt. I think you should have your talons clipped.  ::smiles::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: What the heck is going on here? Where are we the twilight zone?
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::gives the CO a sarcastic smile back::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::sets up engineering station for the CEO::
CEO_McPhee says:
*EO*: Ensign can you run a final diagnostic scan on the consoles on the bridge.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: I wish I knew, Lt.  I wish I knew.
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  right away, sir.
CEO_McPhee says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Bridge
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::enables level 3 diagnostic for all bridge consoles::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Lemmick's talons pierce the tactical console.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: Okay you see talons right? I ain’t just seeing things am I?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: I see those.  ::raises an eyebrow:: You might want to watch out there
CEO_McPhee says:
::enters the bridge::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::looks over at TO::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::takes a second scan of the captain and compares it to the one she took as soon as the quills appeared::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::gets a shock to throw his balance off:: CTO: I always knew I was attached to my work but this is nuts.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Man, Lieutenant, just when I thought the sparks were over!
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::heads for her ready room:: Self: Bloody quills.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::scans herself again as well::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: That’ll come out of your pay. ::checks the readout, smacks the tricorder and scans again::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::moves toward the TO:: TO: May I see them? ::is careful, because she really doesn't want to risk him taking a swing at her...not that it would matter much, as long as he hit the shell::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::nods to the CEO::  CEO:  Sir, diagnostics show in the green...  But we might need to check the tactical console again.  What happened to Lemmick's hands?
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CSO: Sure.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Growls softly to herself:: Self: what is wrong with you ::knows the tricorder won't answer back, she smacks it again... this time against the side of her console::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CSO: Any idea what’s going on?
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CTO: Yeah and if you break that it's coming out of the FCO's pay.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
TO: ::scans his talons:: I'm not ready to form a hypothesis just yet. I can only say that there's a chance that our sudden travel is in some way linked to this, but I suppose that goes without saying, since there's usually "a chance" of just about everything.
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Why my pay, Lieutenant, your boss is the one smacking the equipment? ::laughs::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Fowler's growl sounds strangely like a wolfs, and when she catches a glimpse of her reflection she sees why.
CEO_McPhee says:
::Looks at the TO's hands:: EO: Very good. Run a full scan of the tactical station and then make your way down to engineering. We need to find out why the injectors froze up.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::laughs:: TO: This one is my personal tricorder :: the last part of the word tricorder sounds like a growl::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CSO: Just as long as it can be fixed and I don't want to walk around like this for the rest of my life. Who would want to date a guy with talons?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
All: Ok gang look lets get this briefing done before we all change into what ever it is we are changing into.
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::nods, and turns back to the eng. station, reruns diagnostic on Tactical::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
TO: Well, I can think a few species, but that's beside the point.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Lemmick’s hair becomes feathers.
CEO_McPhee says:
::enters the Captain's Ready Room::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Nods:: CO: I agree with that ::has a sudden urge to romp::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: By the way nice howl.  Lone Wolf would love to howl with you.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I bet.  And so would Rose
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::rolls eyes at the feathers from the TO's head::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
CEO:  Tactical still look normal, he didn't pierce any vital component.  ::grabs eng. kit::  
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::enters the Ready Room behind her husband::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::scans the TO again, before moving to the CTO::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
CEO:  I'll, ahhh, I'll be in engineering.  ::turns and heads for the TL::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::walks into the CO's RR::
CEO_McPhee says:
::takes a sit::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::enters TL::  TL:  Deck 15, main engineering.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::scratches her head::
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::moves into the ready room, moves over to a chair and goes around in three circles before she sits down::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::is the last to enter her ready room::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::pricks her finger on the quill::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: Ouch that hurt.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::still staring at the medical tricorder:: CO: ::looks up:: Really? That surprises you, captain?
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  No reports of changes and such have come from any part of the ship.  The only occurrences have been on the bridge.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::taps the CSO's shell:: CSO: Nice come back.  ::smiles::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: I get your point. I shouldn't have said that.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: OK my friends we have a grave situation here and we need to get these problems addressed.  I want your ideas, opinion, and possible solutions no matter how ridiculous they are.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: No my dear it was a pun or joke.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: No my dear it was a pun or joke.
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::watches the diagnostic run on the main monitors, from deuterium and anti-hydrogen storage, through the pre-stage and main-stage buffer tanks, primary and secondary injectors...::  Computer:  Computer stop.  Reset for level 2 diagnostic, reset parameters to reactant injectors and plasma relays, mechanical and electrical...  And run.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: Actually, I was kidding too, but I guess you missed the ::stresses:: point.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: It would be easy enough to leave the bridge and see what happens.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The giggling sound rings in the telepaths minds, and is approaching a state of hysteria.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: Not to worry Sojyngra.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::shakes her head violently::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: ARGH!!!!! Get out of my head!!
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain?
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: Just not as sharp as you usually are today, I suppose.   TO: Not necessarily, but it could stop the process if the catalyst is contained in this area. However, if we're dealing with something we can transmit, we would also risk giving it to the rest of the crew unless we remained in quarantine.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::hears something in the distance, but it's very faint::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
All: That laughing is getting on my nerves!!
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CO: Captain you all right?
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CO: What laughing sir?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CSO: What if we went into a lift and went one deck down?  We could quarantine that lift.  ::talking to the CSO, but watching the CO::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: It's not that loud this time, is it? ::surprised:: TO: You don't hear it at all? ::confused::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Lemmick sees two huge eyes looking in through the ready room view port.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::rolls eyes:: All: For you  non telepaths you don't hear anything but I still hear the giggling and it is getting to the point where it is hysterical.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
ALL: You all see that?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
TO: See what?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::glances at the others:: CO/CSO: I don't hear anything ::looks at Lemmick:: TO: See what Lt?
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CO: Two big eyes....out the ready room window.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: But, I'm not a telepath. Why do I hear it in the distance? Why did I hear it loudly before? ::confused as crap:: TO: And I don't see anything.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  They eyes blink, and as they close, nothing can be seen but the emptiness of deep space.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::has had enough and is Klingon angry::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::looks confused at the master display::  Self:  Well something has to be wrong here...  Computer:  Computer, lets run a warp power simulation, current settings.  ::gets a flashing "ready" after a few minutes.  sets the simulation to run the warp core from idle to 75%, and starts the simulation::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CTO: We should clear an area that's already occupied. That way we're less likely to run straight into...whatever...assuming it has a physical presence.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
All: They just blinked...please tell me I am not crazy.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::stands and the chair goes backward in a  hurry:: Out loud: To who ever it is that is controlling this ship, STOP!! Enough of your games. We will not play!!
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::shakes head:: TO: Sorry, I didn't see anything.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
All: Clear your minds and show no emotions.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
TO: I can't assure anyone of that at the moment.
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::closes his eyes and bows his head::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::tries to clear her mind::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::breathes slowly and clears her mind slowly::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
::closes her eyes and tries to clear her mind::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::can't clear it, as she can't stop trying to analyze the situation:: ::keeps trying::
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::pushes the simulated reactor run to 100%, and watches the monitors::
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
::begins to breath slowly::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::tries to focus using the Vulcan exercises that Cathryn used to like so much as a child::
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  At the CO's words, the ship begins jerk violently as if someone were holding it and shaking it like a toy.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: Now I know someone is doing this. STOP or we will all be hurt and then you won't have anyone to play with.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Telepaths can hear a faint "out, out" being chanted.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
::tries to grab the table and now hears chanting::
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: We might be dealing with a child entity captain, judging by the reaction to your words.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain?  ::moves closer:: T'Ponga?  What is it?
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
CO: I agree captain.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
::as her mind clears more, she thinks she hears voices in the distance again, but it's like someone talking in the next room with the door closed:: ::tries to make out what they're saying:: CO: Captain, what are they saying now? It's so rhythmic.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
All: Ok now I know someone is playing with us cause the laughter has changed to chanting.  Saying something like, Out out out.
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::shakes his head as he pushes the simulated reactor to 110%...  115%...  125%::
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: You may have hit the nail on the head.  Children.
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: So, if what we're hearing is telepathic...which I'll ignore the fact that I'm not exactly a telepath and give in to the strangeness of the moment, can you respond?
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Either 'they' want out or 'they' want us out?
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The shaking continues and gets worse...Suddenly all lights go out, the only sounds from the ship is from the ventilators.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CTO: Out yes but where?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Self: Oh Forshak!  (Klingon Curse)
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::shakes her head:: CO: That's the question of the day, isn't it?
TO_Lt_Lemmick says:
Self: Someone forget to pay the electric bill?
EO_Ens_MacLeod says:
::looks around::  Self:  What did you do Seamus?
FCO_Newell_McPhee says:
Self: Seems this is a metaphor.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Can see, just everything is slightly dimmer than usual::  All: What next?
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: Well I guess that would be up to them Commander.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Growls to herself::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
All: We need to approach this logically. If they're communicating with us, maybe we should try to reach them...calmly.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: It would seem that you might be right.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CSO: So far it seems that the only ones hearing them is the telepaths on board.
CO_Capt_Shemara_Arca says:
Out loud: Ok Ok you made your point.  We will play your silly game.
Host Susan says:
ACTION:  A Loud "Callie" can be heard, then even the twinkling from the stars are gone from the view ports.  What sensors are working indicate that the ship is in the core of an asteroid.
CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::looks around the room as T'Ponga speaks, watching for anything::
Former_CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: You're the only one with the ability to do that. That is unless they were responding to verbal communication, instead of your emotions at the time you were yelling.
Host Susan says:
