Summary - Perfection, what is it? The dictionary defines it as "the quality or condition of being perfect." But what is perfect?

Complete, pure, whole, proficient, without defect or blemish. These are all used to describe "perfect" and all words that fit when thinking of Zakratus VI. It is perfect, without belmish, without flaws...lovely, beautiful...amazing...

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::monitoring the passing patrol on LRS::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::still heading for the shuttle::

ACTION - In the Scimitar Sickbay, Lieutenant Brenna Delar's eyes flicker open. Without the familiar purple glow, her eyes look around the medical facility. There is no color in her sight, and she feels almost emotionless, empty...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::sitting on the bridge, turns to greet Lessing with a smile::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Looks over to the CO and smiles, walking towards her::  CO: How are the away teams doing, Captain?

ACTION - As Abmeraz and Harris get closer to the runabout, they start to notice dust and smoke filling the foliage around them...

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks around her not moving on her biobed and tryinmg to assess which particular part of sickbay she is in::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::turns and coughes::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Checks his tricorder continuously as he walks down the path towards the shuttle:: CEO: Perhaps we should contant the others, see if they found anything.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::looks at him thoughtfully with a rye grin as an idea passes her:: XO: Would you like take a look and report back yourself. ::speaks in a quieter tone:: Alina Zin is on the planet and I would like to be sure her actions are noted.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: sure wow this some is getting to me.

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Walking along side Zin, watching his tricorder to see if anything is moving in front of them::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@*SO*: did you find any thing out there were close to the shuttle.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Sounds like a challenge.  

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Holds as he looks back:: CEO: We'll be at the shuttle any minute now, just hold on, okay?

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::sits up slightly noticing an absence of nurses as she swings her legs over the side of her biobed watching her husband seemingly sleeping peacefully::

ACTION - Jonathan Pierce, Charles Pepys and Alina Zin enter the camp of the Weston team. Temporary shelters are errected around a main central "fire pit" and they can make out cleaning facilities, private homes and even a large laboratory,

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*CMO*: Please report. ::looks aaround the bridge:: FCO/CTO: Anything to report, What is the status of those Airilians have we remained undetected so far?

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::sets his console to bleep if anything changes in the patrol's projected trajectory and checks on thw weapons arrays::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CEO*: Not yet. We've arrived at the camp. Not a sole here

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: Checking now, Ma'am ::check sensors::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: Nothing Here Cap'n, that patrol seems to be behaving it's self.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::Smiles to the XO:: XO: I am certain she can be a challenge when she wished to be, please feel free to join them.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Leaves the bridge to go to the transporter room::

ACTION - Sensors on MacAllisters screen change, and report the wing moving into the system - looks like a standard patrol route...

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Hears the call from the ship:: *CO*: We're just about to reach the shuttle ma'am. We have split the team. The CEO is with me and the others went to the camp with Zin.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: smiles at the CO as he leaves::

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::slips into the adjoining room and pulls on her uniform::Self:Hmmm...god it's like needing to let the cat out...::her mind wanders over the pull drawing her towards the planet's surface::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@Zin: Why don't you check the homes, i'll see if there's any clue about dr. Weston's whereabouts in the lab ::Looks at her a bit funny, blushing slightly, but before she can notice he returns to his normal self::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
TL: Transporter room one.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: Cap'n, I'm getting a change in the patrol's course, they're now heading into the system but they still don't seem to have spotted us.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::keeps heading for the shuttle::

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@::She nods once in agreement and motions for Counsellor Pepys to join her. The two head off to the first, largest, living facility::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*XO*: Zin is heading to the camp, perhaps you would like to join her group?

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CTO: Thank you. ::nods to the CTO:: FCO: Please do all you can to keep us out of sight.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*CO*: That sounds like an excellent idea.  :: Arrives in the transporter room. ::

ACTION - As the Engineer and Medic move up to the runabout, they can see the familiar grey Starfleet duranium metal through the undergrowth. The pink and yellow flowers before them are mildly distracting and seem to stand in their way...

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Makes a finaly scan, then moves towards the lab, stealing a glance at Zin::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: I have our weapons charged and ready to fire, just in case things go pear shaped, but I have Masked the signatures.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: I'm not a miracle worker. If we shut down everything we would be harder to spot, ma'am

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Walks over to the flowers as he scans them with his tricorder::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*CMO/CEO*: Thank you, some haste would be appreciated if possible, it seems we may have company up here soon.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Steps up onto the Transporter pad :: TR Chief: Put me down with the Team heading for the camp.  Close to Lieutenant Zin, please.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@*CO*: Aye ma'am, we will do the best we can. Any word on the others yet?

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::she walks out into the main room she was just in leaning over and kissing Rowan's forehead before walking carefully out of sickbay::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@*CO*: understood Sir.

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Enters the lab and looks around. A tricorder scan confirms that he is alone. Looking around he sees all sorts of equipment used for testing fauna and flora::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: well lets get started on that shuttle.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Nods to the CEO:: CEO: Yes, but let's clear the path of these flowers first. ::Starts to move the flowers::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::starts to clear the flowers::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Taking another step inside he notices there's a power signature, originating from the back of the lab. He cautiously moves towards it::

ACTION - The flowers clear out of the way, and as Harris and Abmeraz move through the underbrush, Harris feels a small sting in his leg as his uniform catches against a thorn...

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::walks into the turbolift and hits the manual controls for transporter room one leaning back against the wall feeling the surge as the lift moves and closing her eyes::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: OUCH::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: I think we had better not go for a complete shut down being in enemy territory it would leave us at a distinct disadvantage if we should be spotted. but so far your polar miracle appears to be enough thankfully.

ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light Aleister Lessing beams into the middle of the Weston Camp, right along-side the main laboratories.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Turns around:: CEO: Something wrong Lieutenant?

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: yeah, but if the teams down there keep communicating with us they could spot us.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@:: Arrives dirtside and looks around, sees Lieutenant Zin:: Zin: Lovely day for it.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: looks like a thorn cought my leg.

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Moving towards the power signature, he sees it's a machine still turned on. He examines the machine closely to determine what it is::

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@::Alina walks out of the living establishment and nods to Lessing:: XO: I see the Captain has issued a babysitter. It looks as if the occupant of this home left in a hurry...the replicator was still on...

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::monitors the partol as they move deeper into the system::

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::as she steps out of the turbolift walking towards the transporter room her mind wanders over the peaceful dreams leaving her at a loss to gague the time passed but knowing nothing but where she needs to be she walks into the transporter room and gives the chief the coordinates and orders nodding for the beam in::

ACTION - The patrol moves behind Zakratus VIII and sensors lose track of the Airilian vessels for a time...

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Walks over to the CEO and takes a look at the cut:: CEO: Don't worry about it, it doesn't look too serious. Besides, you told me you didn't care for sickbay much right? ::Smiles::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::It appears to be a genetic sequencer. Careful not to touch anything he tries to find clues to what exactly it was working on. Looking around he tries to find PADDs or anything else that could contain a log::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: Cap'n, The patrol's gone behind the planet, they're off our sensors.

ACTION - In a shimmer of blue, glorious light, Brenna Delar appears on the same hill looking down into the valley where the Scimitar away team is. She can see the camp and the runabout off in the distance...and from her vantage point she can see a clearing in the pink and red leaved woods...that is where she wants to be...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: I wouldn't say a babysitter.  You're hardly a baby.  I am just here to observe.  What's going on so far?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: are we there yet.

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@XO: Ensign Pierce is examining the main labs for signs of Doctor Weston's team...Mr. Pepys and I have begun a similar check of the living quarters...no life signs as of yet.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Points to the shuttle:: CEO: Turn around and see for yourself, there she is. Let's get to work on it, see what you can find out.

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::she smiles jogging quickly down the hill and off towards her destination::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: well i get started.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::checks sensors and feeling veryy agitated:: Self: something is wrong, but don't know what.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: Personally, I find that disturbing.  An entire science team has just vanished?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: goes in side the shuttle and begins works::

ACTION - As the team passed into the runabout, they notice a large gaping hole in the left nacell...where radiation and smoke seem to be leaking out of...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CTO: How soon before they are back on the sensors if the continue their current path?

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: Did somebody beam down just yet, ma'am?

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Seeing nothing even remotely looking like a log, he focuses on the sequencer again. Looking at his tricorder he tries to identify the plant that seems to be in it. The sky blue plant appears to be native. Tricorder readings suggest it's venomous. It appears as though they were trying to alter or enhance the venom::

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::Moving her way into the woods and sweeping in between the plants she ignores all else trying to get to the clearing::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Covers his mouth:: CEO: Can you do something about that? Better even, can we see what caused this?

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: Just less than a minute now.

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::With the tricorder he tries to examine the venom further, trying to find out the characteristics.. why would they want to alter this specific venom? That the machine is still turned on could suggest a hasty departure, with this being the last thing they worked on::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: oh man this is going to take some times before i can get power back::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::checks the console for a beam out, nods:: FCO/CTO: It would appear so.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: Yeah, but who?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Nods to the CEO:: CEO: But I don't think that is our main objective right now. ::Checks his tricorder:: It appears that there are signs of phaser fire.

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::she runs into the middle of the beautidul brilliantly coloured clearing spinning and smiling for the sight of it::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: Any theories on why they dissapeared yet?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: phaser fire what do you mean we should report to the CO about the fire fight that went down here.

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@XO: It is possible that an Airilian patrol came to the planet and removed them...or it is also possible that they hid from such an attack...they did leave in a hurry.

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::she falls back onto the grass arms spread wide smiling and feeling peaceful and completely at home in this place, closing her eyes and laughing softly::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Nods again:: CEO: Yes, that would be the best idea, keep looking if you find anything else out of the ordinary. I'll report this to the captain and perhaps warn the others too.

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::The venom appears to be a fairly common nerve paralizer, useful for sedation..or death if you used enough..:: Self: But why change it? What makes this plant so special? ::He takes the tricorder and scans the venom for specific characteristics, trying to find the thing that makes it different from any other paralyzer::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: i see if i can get the shuttle working so we can find out what happened.

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - As Abmeraz and Harris move through the runabout they see that it looks as if the plants have invaded the Starfleet craft. Orange flowers seem to have forced their way through part of the bulkhead and have begun to grow along the starboard side of the craft.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::goes back to work on getting full power::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::Looks for that patrol:: Self They should be out by now.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::once again checks the records:: FCO: Brenna delar...::looks between the CTO and FCO confused::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: The Airillian patrol theory would explain some things.  But I'm not comfortable with the theory.  Something about it just doesn't feel right.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: When did she wake up?

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CTO: How close to us could they get if they chose to remain close to the planet without our noticing? That run about will show up like a beacon with it's leak.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::loosk at the Captain:: *Sickbay*: anybody present to tell us wher Brenna Delar is?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@*CO*: Captain, Ensign Abmeraz here. We have signs of phaser fire inside the shuttle pod. There's no one here but us. The local plant life however, has found an interest in growing inside the shuttle.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
:;shurgs:: CTO: I have no idea lets hope she has a com badge. ::taps her badge::

Med_Tech says:
FCO: Lieutenant Delar? Well she should still be sleeping sir...

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: Only about 2 planets away, Gives us 2 minutes to respond if they spot us.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
*Med_Tech*: Explain to me why she just beamed off the ship and check that lovely hubby of hers while your at it.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::keeps on working on the shuttle::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looking at his tricorder he sees they were trying to alter the venom. To make it deadly for some and not so for others. He tries to identify the components that would make a person succeptible to it::

ACTION - Red flowers begin to grow around Brenna, filling the clearing. She feels comfortable, safe, at home...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*CMO*: thank you please keep us informed, we may have company any minute inform Zin's team.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*OPS*: Lieutenant Delar, report.

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::she looks around smiling and leaning over to sniff one of the flowers next to her::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@*CO*: Aye ma'am, will do. ::Turns to the CEO:: CEO: Take a look at those flowers. I don't like them growing inside and on the shuttle like that. I had better take a scan of that cut of yours afterall.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@*SO*: get ready we may have troulbe thats what i heard from the CO.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CTO/FCO: Thank you, not much time but it should allow for a beam out of our people. how far away from the away teams is Lt Brenna Delar?

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: Checking,ma'am :: tries to pinpoint Brenna's position::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: ok stops working and steps outside the shuttle.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@:: Looks over at Zin:: Zin: So, tell me about yourself?

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Examining his tricorder readings, he determines it would be deadly to Mizani sector chemistry..mm..to Airilians, Laquiexians and Morachs..Someone was making a very effective biological agent, where starfleet personnel would feel no effects::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::runs scans for the OPS's lifesigns::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Follows the CEO as he leaves the shuttle and kneels down next to him. He takes out his tricorder and scans the cut carefully::

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@XO: What do you want to know? ::She pulls out a tricorder and begins modifying its sensor parameters::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: Doc, Pierce here. I found something very interesting

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: Whatever you'd like to tell me :: Looking at his own tricorder, studying the readings it is giving him::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@*SO*: Go ahead, I'm listeening. ::He still looks at his tricorder scan::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::He looks around to see if there's any other specimen of the plant left, while at the same time hooking up his PADD to the sequencer, trying to download the data, so the process could be duplicated::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: She's about a 30 minute walk from the main team, next valley over.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
FCO/CTO: Are the fighter's ready we may require them?

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: As Commander Exeter trained them, we can launch two squads within 5 minutes.

ACTION - Vines begin to wrap around Brenna's arms and legs, and she does not resist...and then something seems to snap inside of her...and she realizes what in the world is going on...

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: It appears they were trying to make a bio agent that would be very lethal to Mizani occupants, but not to us. They haven't finished, but i'm trying to download all necessary data and i'll get a sample

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
FCO: And how many can we launch in two minutes?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@*SO*: Excelent. See how much you can recover, the captain expects company anytime soon. Anything on the missing team yet?

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: Nada. by the way, i haven't told this to Zin yet

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: According to Commander Exeter what I got from him one squad, but He suggest you should take the best we have and that's Bat'leth squadron

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CMO: any thing on my cut.

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::looks around wildly before letting out a terrified and bloodcurdling scream, every inch of her mind and body crying for help and her husband::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: I'm picking up a network of caves just east of us.  Good place to hide if we need to.  ::Walks inside to check on Pierce:: SO: Anything to report, Ensign?

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Failing to interface with the sequencer he looks around and notices a computer. He walks towards it and turns it on::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@*SO*: Affirmative. Where is Zin now? ::Looks over to the CEO:: CEO: Nothing there, I guess I'm being a little too concerned.

ACTION - As she cries and screams, the vines tighten around her...and Brenna hears a voice in the back of her mind. "Do not fight child...you are safe with me..."

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: Bat'leth it is then.

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@::Zin moves along-side Lessing and nods to herself:: XO: Weston's team could have realized the same thing...perhaps they are using the cave formations as refuge?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::goes back in side to try and get power and find out happend down here::

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::stills her movement looking around worried::Voice:Who and what are you to tell me whether or not I am safe? this entire place reaks of death, I can feel it, how do I know I'm, not next for your slaughter?

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
*XO*: Lt Delar has beamed to the surface, she is about thirty minutes from your location, are you in a position to collect her? Is the runabout worthy of flight yet?

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: You want to have the pleasure?

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: Outside, checking the habitats. I'll make sure she won't find anything here ::Looks startled as the XO enters:: XO: Sir, i didn't know you were on this mission. I have found something interesting here. They were developing a bio agent. I'll brief you when i have more details sir

Voice says:
OPS: Because I would not hurt one of my line...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: It is a possibility.  Unfortuneately, I can't scan the caves from here.  We'd have to get closer.

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@*SO*: Okay, carry on. Be sure to check in with me as we get back to the ship. ::Starts to walk around the shuttle and carefully examines the flowers growing on the side::

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@Voice:And who is it that deems me part of their line...Epidia?

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@::She nods once and looks over towards Pierce:: XO: I would not advice splitting up the team more then necessary, sir...

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Certainly. 

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::looks curious and moves to OPS to try and get a transporter lock on Brenna to bring her back to the bridge::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: Relax, I'm jsut...  observing.  Carry on.  And, as i noted to the Lieutenant here, there's a system of caves jsut east of us, might make a good place to hide.  :: Thinks a second :: Zin: Shall you and I go and check out the caves?

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looks back at Zin, blushes a bit, then turns back towards the main computer he just turned on. In it he finds a database of all plantlife examined here. He starts dowlnoading the database::

ACTION - The voice goes silent and the vines loosen slightly. "I have been waiting for the day when you would return home...I have been alone for so long...

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*CAG*: MacAllister to Fighter Command, Scramble Bat'Leth Squadron and have them stand by for immediate launch.

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::Relaxes her body and lays still not wanting to aggrivate the vines again::Voice:So it is you then?...I am not the one of your line, he is at rest on our ship with our son...and I want to know what you have planned for them

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@::She nods:: XO: That would be an adequate decision...we are the most capable.

CAG says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant, scrambling Bat'Leth squadron

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: Well then, lead on.  ::Smiles a secret smile::

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::He walks over to the fron of the shuttle as he looks inside through the window and sees the CEO working hard on one of the broken panels::

Voice says:
OPS: Great things...terrible, but great. We are all connected Brenna, you just can't see it yet...you can't begin to perceive. Your journey is far from over...

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looking at the screen as the download progresses he sees a blue plant, called "Myra", looking very similar to the one in the sequencer. Waiting for the download to finish, he makes sure all the data necessary for reproducing the steps for the new venom is there, then he turns around and turns off the sequencer, wiping its memory::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::keeps working::

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CTO: Timing Bat'leth Squadron now, lt. ::sets on timer::

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@::She nods:: XO: Perhaps Ensign Pierce may be of use to Ensign Abmeraz and the others?

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::sighs deeply::Voice:Well that's better then the last seer who spoke to me, he told me I was going to die imminently, well then, what have you got to offer?...home insurance, very large encyclopedia set?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::As he wants to look away he believes he sees something moving in the glass' reflection:: Self: Is that my imagination or are those plants really moving? ::He quickly turns around to check::

Voice says:
@::Seeming almost bewildered, and confused:: Delar: Home insurance?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: come on start all ready::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: I have a single fighter approaching us on an intercept course from the far side of the planet

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::After the download is finished he encrypts and hides the database on the PADD, while downloading a small, non related item from the computer, then wiping the database from the computer..::Self: I just hope i know what i'm doing..if they catch me..

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: Permission to launch Bat'Leth squadron?

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::laughs softly::Voice:Ah nevermind...but you have evaded my original question, are you Epidia, or are you something else?

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
ACTION - The vines and plants around Abmeraz don't seem to move at all...and for a moment his eyes are mesmerized by a pink flower that seems to shimmer and sparkle in the light...

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CTO: Locking on to target and scanning fighter. 

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: You ready for some fancy flying Ensign?

Voice says:
@OPS: I am not...but I am, I was once...but now I am all that remains of her essence. I am you...I am this planet...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::nods::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: I'd prefer to leave us in teams of 2.  Things are more efficient that way.  Pepys and Pierce make a good team.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CTO: Stop calling me ensign and I'll show you what a Exeter can do.

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@::She nods to herself and glances back at Pierce, wondering what he's up to:: XO: Then let us go...::She replaces her tricorder and heads out of the lab, and off to the east::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::After erasing all traces of what he's done, he looks at Zin again...what a woman. Somehow he wants to find out if her character is acting..or something else..

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Agreed. ::smiles::

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::furrows her brow::Epidia:But you were cast from this existence...and this is not your world is it, you are of Betazoid...and this planet is not that planet, so what is this place, and the people who were here...why did you hurt them?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Rubs his eyes as he looks once more:: Self: Moving plants. I really start to get delirious down here. I must try to relax. ::Sighs:: Pretty pink flower over there.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@:: Follows Zin, running continuous scans for lifesigns and strange phenomena on his tricorder. ::

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: Powering up Thrusters and ready to go to full impulse ::sets engines and makes ready:; CTO: you better be ready to fire your toys,lt

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Fighters: MacAllister to Forbes, you are cleared for immediate launch, once spaceborne form a defensive perimeter.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: sweet i got small power attemps to find out what happend to the shuttle crew::

Voice says:
@OPS: They hurt themselves...and yes, this is our home. It was our home long before the great abandonment, before we were banished from this plane...long before we came to Betazed...we are home now...

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Sees Zin and the XO leave then looks back once more to see if he missed anything, scanning one last time::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: this is strange records every thing::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::locks tactical sensors on the fighter and targets the weapons array::

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@Epidia: And what of myself, and me crew what are your intentions for us?

ACTION - As MacAllisters command, Bat'leth Squadrong launches...the Airilian fighter signals back-up, and before they know it, a fleet of nineteen other craft fly out from behind Zakratus VIII in combat formation...

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: Doc, i have all data necessary to make the bio agent ourselves, then i wiped all data on the local systems.

Forbes says: 
*CTO*: Aye Lieutenant, Launching.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@:: Walks to the top of the ridge that separates this valley from the one east of it, the one with the system of caves::

Voice says: 
@OPS: I do not know what is come...only that it will be grand and glorious...and nothing will be the same when you are through...

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: The XO left with Zin, i'm not exactly sure what they're going to do..i think i heard them say something about caves..

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CTO: 1 m: 49 s, there good, lt.

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@::Zin marches up to the top of the ridge and looks back at the camp and then towards the eastern valley. She pauses briefly and motions to the far side of the valley:: XO: It looks like the cave system is built into the side of that hill...

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: How do you like your fighters? Rare? or well done?

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::He walks over to the pink flower as he feels drawn to it's beauty as he hears the SO's call:: *SO*: Okay, thanks. Oh wait, caves? What caves?

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@Epidia:You're going to let us leave then, without harming any of us?...my crew...my family...you will let them leave this place?

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: Built?  are you saying it is not a natural formation?

Host Lt_Alina_Zin says:
@XO: Poor selection of words...

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: I'm not exactly sure. i was quite busy at the moment. I remember something about caves being in the vicinity, which they want to go check

Voice says: 
@OPS: If they chose to leave...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@Zin: I see.  :;Scans the caves more closely, looking for lifesigns.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
CTO: More squardons and ours as rare as possible, theirs well well done as soon as they intitiate a full attack. ::turns to the FCO:: FCO: Since they have noticed us lets see if they will permit us a rescue mission. Open hailing frequencies.

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::sliding her hand carefully and slowly to her comm badge::*CO*:Ma'am...pull the Away team back, bring them home now!

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: Understood Cap'n.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::slaves Ops and opens a coom link:: CO: Channel open,ma'am

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@::Takes on a thoughtfull look:: *SO*: If there's nothing else for you to do there, perhaps it's best to join them. We still don't know if Zin is up to something.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*Forbes*: Forbes, first sign of hostility from that fighter I want your group to disintigrate it.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CTO: Oh and the name is Jim or Jimmy, lt, if you wanna avoid using ensign, sir

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: True, but the XO wanted me to team up the the CNS, who should be around here somewhere. I'll keep Zin and the XO within tricorder range, so i can see if something is wrong

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::tries to lock onto the away team:: *AT*: prepare for beam out imminently.

Forbes says:
*CTO*: Understood MacAllister, Standing by.

OPS_Lt_Delar says:
*CO*:Captain Janan please answer me, you have to pull them out now! Their lives depend on it!

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*CO*: Aye Captain.

ACTION - A vine grabs ahold of Brenna's comm badge and rips it off her uniform, the vines tighten around her. "No, you are home...please be happy here..."

CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
@*SO*: Affirmative, don't loose track of her. We'll be trying to work on the shuttle some more. Keep me informed. ::He turns around and walks over to the shuttle to check on the CEO::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
COM: Airlians: This is CO Janan, of the USS Scimitar, we wish to avoid any conflict in retrieving our teams, who have been placed here with prior consent from your government.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::locks onto as much of the AT as he can with Emergency transporters::

SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CMO*: Will do. ::Looks at his tricorder to see where the XO and Zin are, walking towards the hills::

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::opens fire on the fighters with three phaser banks and the forward torpedo bays::

ACTION - The Airilian fighters do not respond, and the first, lead ship rams itself right into the lead fighter of Bat'leth Squadron. The two vessels go up in firey flames, and the Airilians open fire. At the same instant the mass of red flowers cover Brenna Delar, and pull her down, her cries being drowned out by the flora...
Zakratus VI is perfect, whether Brenna likes it or not...
