USS SELEYA - STARDATE 10707.15

THE MORTAL COIL - PART THE FIRST

"Mister Immortal"

=/\==/\==/\==/\==/\= BEGIN MISSION =/\==/\==/\==/\==/\=

ACTION: The Sovereign Class USS Seleya is docked in orbit of the world known as New Al-Jihj.

ACTION: The ship is gradually becoming very quiet as most of the crew disembark for some well-deserved shore leave.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::wonders whether to take an hour long sonic shower::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
:: Still sitting in his quarters, looking at the untouched bottle of liquor.::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Waiting for Samantha so they can disembark together::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::in his quarters, putting a change of clothes on Braeden to get ready to head down to the outpost::

ACTION: Outpost personnel are moving extensive loads of supplies on hover-rigs as per requests from OPS Pandora.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
Braeden:  Well, since you're mother is already down on the outpost, we'll do some looking around and perhaps get a few things before we meet up with her.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::decides to take a sonic shower::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::Braeden smiles and opens his arms, waiting to be picked up::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Rushes up to catch with the CMO, giving him a quick nod in acknowledgment:: CMO: Let's go.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
CIV: Good for you to make it, adventure awaits! ::Pats a PADD with a list of places with cheap booze on it::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
CMO: Did you remember to feed the moose before we left?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
:: Gets up, takes the bottle with him and leaves his quarters, heading for the transporter room. ::

Dr. Grey says:
::Comes around a corner, about to disembark, sees the CMO:: CMO: Doctor Atreides ...

CMO Dr Atreides says:
CIV: The moose has had as much chocolate as he could stomach.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::gets out of the sonic shower nice and PG rated naked::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Nods at Grey::

Dr. Grey says:
CMO: How are you feeling? ::Gives him a strange look. Seems uncomfortable around him::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::with his son in his arms, he heads out of their quarters to the TL::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Waits patiently beside the CMO until he'll finish talking::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::in her ready room looking over the supply reports::

ACTION: The CO's ready room door chimes.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
Grey: Better than ever, why? ::gives the doctor his strangest smile:: I get a strange whistling sound inside my head during a strong wind though.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::looks up frowning, obviously not expecting visitors. She opens the door without getting up:: Door: Come in

Dr. Grey says:
::Tries to laugh:: CMO: Funny. But really Paul, I'm concerned ... after everything you've been through, are you sure you should be leaving the ship?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
:: Moves down the corridor from the TL and enters the transporter room. :: TR Chief:  Find me a shady spot with a view and no people and energize.  :: Steps up into the pad. ::

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::wipes his butt on a towel then gets dressed::

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
::Dressed in civilian clothes, and holding a sack, the young SO enters:: CO: Hi, ma'am. I was just dropping off some after action reports that I forgot to about ... y'know ... our experience. ::Holding a few PADDs::

ACTION: The Transporter Room Chief gives the XO a strange look, and does so.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
Dr. Grey: Will you get on with it, you creep? ::Sighs:: Stop beating around the bush and just come out and say whatever it is you've come to say.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
Grey: I doubt anything worse will happen to me down there after what has happened to me here, I'm super Atreides! ::laughs and motions to Sam that they're leaving::

Dr. Grey says:
::Gives the CIV a look:: CMO: Well, be careful then, sir. Contact me or any medical staff immediately if anything ... happens.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::looks at the young ensign, for a moment not sure what she is talking about:: SO: Our experience?

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
CO: You know ... with the D'vor. ::Hands over the PADD::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Stares at Samantha:: CIV: Let's just leave.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::gets a good book off the shelf::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Smiles sweetly at the direction of the other doctor and quickly dismisses him from her attention:: CMO: What an oddball, I don't even understand what's his problem.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::arrives at the TR and steps up onto the pad::  Chief:  Ready to beam down to the outpost.

@ ACTION: The XO arrives on a pleasant, shaded hill, overlooking the city of Vericuez on New Al-Jihj.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::accepts the PADDs::SO: Indeed, its something we will never forget and hopefully not experience again. Please, take a seat

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
::Sits down:: CO: Ma'am ... permission to speak freely?

TR Chief says:
FCO: Are you also looking for somewhere reclusive?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
SO: Granted. What is on your mind?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ ::  Looks around the small grove of trees looking out at the mountains and the city that the TR Chief sent him to and nods. ::  Self:  It'll do.  :: Sits and uncorks the bottle, smelling it for a second, then toasts. :: Kesh:  Wherever you are Kesh...  :: Falls silent and takes a swig. ::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::shrugs and pushes her into the nearest transporter room while in plain view of most of his staff who have now joined Grey:: Self: Damn alcoholic doctors.

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
CO: The whole incident with the D'vor has been bothering me. After our encounter, I read up on them ... and their origin ... and ...

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::gives the Chief a puzzled look::  Chief:  I'm sorry?  No, we plan on checking things out at the outpost.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::sits down and opens to page one and reads the first page::

TR Chief says:
FCO: Never mind. Two to beam down, right away. ::Presses a few buttons, and ...::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::rematerializes with Braeden and looks around to see which direction they should head off to::

@ ACTION: The FCO and his son are beamed away, and find themselves in the midst of a bustling city.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
SO: I understand, it’s easier to view your experience if you know what happened. What did you find that is troubling you?

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
CO: Depending on how you look at it, we ... I mean, the Federation ... created these beings. That somehow makes us ... I don't know ... responsible for what they've done, right?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Pushes Samantha onto the pad and runs over to the transporter operator:: Chief: Get us to these coordinates. ::Steps onto the pad::

TR Chief says:
::Looks at the coordinates:: CMO: Right away, Doctor.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::starts walking, looking at the various vendors they pass along the way::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Peeks over the CMO's shoulder at the coordinates he wrote:: CMO: Where to?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
CIV: It's a surprise.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::smiles hearing thoughts she herself has pondered:: SO: We are as much responsible for them as a father is to a child. We created them yes but they are more than we made them...they can chose what to do. And they have chosen. I am neither a philosopher nor a counsellor, I am not sure I can help you but with this matter I try to deal with it in the simplest possible way. They are sentient beings. We can help them if they want our help. Else what can we do?

@ ACTION: The Jihejians are tall, Avian like creatures. A few actually do soar overhead on the winds ... as a few years ago an induced evolution occurred amongst the species.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Grimaces at the taste and grits his teeth. :: Self:  Damn!   I need to learn to drink, this is embarrassing.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
CMO: Does this surprise require an skey?

TO Ens Redwood says:
::turns to page 2::

@ ACTION: The CMO & CIV are beamed away, and find themselves standing on a path that leads up a hill to a nondescript building overlooking a lake.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::leaves his quarters suddenly wondering what the corridors hold of interest::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::passes by some of the inhabitants, looking up at them and acknowledging those he sees::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Materialises:: CIV: Not unless we need to use SSH. Beautiful location isn't it?

SM Mike says:
@ ACTION: A few little robotic pets catch Braeden's eye.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::walks onto the bridge::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Takes another drink, grimaces, then sets the bottle down and settles on the ground, back to a tree and looks out over the city. ::  Kesh:  You'd like it here......but then, you always were more outgoing than I am.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@::Watches around, admiring the scenery:: CMO: Yeah, where are we? ::Crosses her arms with the CMO's, gently pulling him towards the nearby house:: SSH? ::Turns her attention towards him:: What's that, Pauly?

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::rings the RR doorbell to the tune of funky town::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::looks down to see what Braeden is straining to see::  Braeden:  I believe we have enough of the live versions of those already.  ::Braeden just points and giggles::

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
::Mulls it over in her mind for a moment:: CO: True, I suppose. ::Stands up:: Sorry to bother you with it, ma'am ... anyway. I'm off, have some sun to catch on the surface. Are you going down too?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@CIV: Nothing important, it's a shame we won't be staying here very long. ::Leads here towards the house::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods without smiling this time:: SO: In due time I am planning to. Enjoy the photons and put your mind in order. I appreciate your honesty

@ ACTION: The nondescript building is the size of a house, and doesn't appear to have any windows or openings. There is metal pole in the ground outside of it.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::opens the door to the CTO:: Door: Come in

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
::Nods, and smiles at the CO:: CO: Thank you, ma'am. ::Goes to exit, nodding and smiling at the CTO as she passes::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Examines the metal pole as they approach the house::

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::smiles at the SO as he walks in:: CO: Captain.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@Braeden:  Okay, you can play with them for a while.  ::places Braeden down near the robotic pets and watches::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: Ensign Redwood, please take a seat

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@::Allows herself to be carried towards the house:: CMO: Something you want to tell me, Paul? ::Studies the metal pole with interest::

@ ACTION: A voice speaks down to the XO from a nearby tree ... "Do most Starfleet officers talk to themselves, or is that your specialty?"

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::sits down:: CO: Ah, you can call me Oday. This wasn't an official visit, ma’am.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@CIV: You'll see in a minute. ::Waves his hand over the flat face of the pole, remembering something from earlier correspondence::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::makes sure to stand guard over his son....not knowing what type of people frequent here::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: I see Oday. Then what is on your mind?

@ ACTION: A blue light suddenly shines from the metal pole, running over both the CMO & CIV in an apparent scan. A moment later, a holographic image of a female Bajoran appears ... "Halt. Please state your name and purpose here."

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: I just came to see if you had recovered fully

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Jumps to his feet startled, and looks around wildly. :: ALL:  Who?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@Hologram: I'm Doctor Paul Atreides of the USS Seleya and my assistant. I believe we are expected.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@::Raises an eyebrow in surprise, giving the figure an odd look:: CMO: I'm not even going to ask.

Epti says:
@ ::A feathered female Jihejian is perched on a large tree branch in the tree. She smiles down at the XO:: XO: Sorry to startle you.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: Yes thank you. It seems the jello in those cocoons was meant to arrest us. There were drugs but they were of short effect. We were lucky there were no side effects. But if you had not arrived when you did we would not be here having this conversation ::smiles:

Hologram says:
@ CMO: Greetings Doctor Atreides. Doctor Hamsein has been waiting. Please enter.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Smiles and opens the now unlocked door waiting for Sam to enter::

@ ACTION: A door forms, and unlocks with a click ... a cool burst of air greets the CMO & CIV as the CMO opens the door.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: That's a big if. I'm glad to see you are okay.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@::Frowns, giving the CMO a dark look before she enters the room: CMO: You and me are going to have a talk after this.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::In his office on deck 13, looking over the data gathered from the past two assignments::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::keeping his eyes on Braeden, he hits his commbadge::  *MO*:  Sierra, we are down on the outpost.  Is your excursion almost complete?

@ ACTION: Beyond the door, the CMO & CIV find a long corridor leading into a white light.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Sighs and shakes his head. Then picks up his bottle, corks it and points it at the Jihejian. :: Epti:  You have no idea what a bullet you just dodge.  :: looks at the alien for a second, trying to gauge its relative age, then gives up and starts to move towards another tree. :: Epti:  Sorry, I'll move on.

Epti says:
@ ::Jumps down from the tree:: XO: Why? There's plenty of room here for both of us.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods::CTO: Well my work here is done. I am planning on visiting the surface, would you like to join me?

MO says:
@*FCO*:  Almost finished up here husband.  Shall we meet somewhere soon to eat?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@CIV: Step into the light! ::laughs at his choice of words::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@CMO: You know what, I think you're not entirely right yet. Maybe we should return to the... ::Pauses as she begins to notice the details around her:: Where the hell are we, Paul?

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::tilts his head:: CO: Yes, that would be nice

@ ACTION: The length of the corridor seems to be too long for the size of the building ...

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Looks back at Epti for a second, then shakes his head, trying to smile produces a weak grimace. :: Epti: I'm afraid I'm not very good company right now.  ::Starts to move off again. ::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@CIV: Not right yet? Hmm. You'll see.

Epti says:
@ XO: I can tell. You reek.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@*MO*:  Of course.  Braeden here is just amusing himself with something that piqued his interest.  We'll be on our way soon.  I'll let you know where to meet us when we find a suitable place.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@CMO: You're starting to creep me out.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::puts her PADDs to the side of the desk and picks up a small bag she had below her desk:: CTO: I was thinking of going to the small outpost on the surface. I hear there are many stores there, you can learn a lot about the people by looking at what they sell

MO says:
@*FCO*:  I'll see you two shortly.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: Yes, sounds interesting. ::stands up:: but only if this is not a Captain - Officer thing. I can't stand the formality.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@CIV: Why? ::Leads her along the corridor:: We've just come to visit a "friend".

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::gets up: CTO: You probably know, this planet was right in the middle of what was almost a civil war in the Federation

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ : Stops short, then turns slowly. :: Epti:  Reek?  What the hell do you mean I reek, I bathe regularly! :: Stops and then looks at the bottle. ::  Epti:  You mean this?

Quartermaster Krax Lurin says:
::Rings the chime of the OPS' office on Deck 13::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@CMO: What sort of a friend? It had better not be a lady friend.

Epti says:
@ ::Tilts head:: XO: I meant of sorrow.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@CIV: The professional kind.

@ ACTION: The corridor leads them to a massive chamber in which various devices, scanners, tables, tubes and floating liquids are arranged. It seems to be a massive science centre. However, it does not seem feasible all this could fit into the building they entered.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@Braeden:  Well, little man, we need to get going.  Your mother is almost done and wants to meet up with us.  ::leans down to pick up his son::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@::Nods, her curiosity satisfied for now::

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
@ ::Comes up on the FCO & Braeden:: FCO: Ethan!

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::looks to the CO for an answer::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Raises his eyebrows, then thinks for a second and nods hs head. :: Epti:  Oh....Yeah, that.  Yeah, I guess I would.

Epti says:
@ XO: You have ... lost someone?

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@SO:  Ensign Arkoff, is something the matter?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::smiles looking at the CTO, she was so absorbed in her ideas she forgot he spoke:: CTO: Very well, I will do my best. I am not the best person for informality but perhaps you can help me

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
@ ::Smiles:: FCO: Please, call me Magdalena.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Takes in their equipment as they enter the chamber:: CIV: Amazing how much they can fit into this building, eh?

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::smiles::  SO:  Of course Magdalena, my apologies....you just took us by surprise.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks up from his work and, in an irritable voice, speaks:: Door: Yes?

Quartermaster Krax Lurin says:
::Enters:: OPS: I have the newest supply reports. This Outpost runs rather efficiently. Hhn.
 
XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Looks at Epti, not really seeing her, looking past her and nods slowly. :: Epti:  I lost someone.  I lost everyone.  :: Looks at the bottle, then tosses it next to another tree. :: Epti:  Nothing new...

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: I'll see what I can do. Why don't I start by calling you Alexandra.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods as he takes the padds:: Lurin: Thank you...

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ ::An old withered humanoid in a blue robe slowly walks toward them using a cane, having heard the CMO's last statement:: CMO: Such is the magic of tesseract technology.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@CMO: Indeed, where's that person anyway? It feels like we've been walking for ages.

Epti says:
@ XO: I see. It is an unfortunate thing to lose people. Many of us Jihejians lost friends and family in the Crisis.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods:: CTO: Alex is easier Oday ::walks onto the bridge:: CTO: You will find most of the times I will be studying what I see rather than making proper conversation so if I babble too much about the place let me know

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@SO:  So, are you doing a bit of shopping down here?

Quartermaster Krax Lurin says:
OPS: You are not taking any leave?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@Hamsein: Nice to finally meet you sir, I once knew a man who used something similar to sheath his sword inside a coat pocket.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: Will do! ::walks with the CO::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Shakes head slowly:: Lurin: I've got a lot of data still to analyse and compare.. Tedious, but it needs to be done, and there's no time like the present.. Or so they say... ::Looks back down at his work for a moment::

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
@ ::Smiles down at Braedan:: XO: Yes. Also figured I'd take in the sights ... get some sun. And what are you two up to?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::waits for the CTO in the lift, then:: Computer: Transporter room 1

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
OPS: Good. I do not understand how the rest of this crew can be so lax. There is much work to do. People like us understand the proper way to be a Starfleet officer.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: So tell me, other than ship's security what do you find interesting? Any hobbies?

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@SO:  Well, Braeden here and myself will be meeting up with his mother shortly for some lunch.  Have you met Braeden yet?

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: Indeed. ::Eyes the CIV:: This is your ... assistant?

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: Well... ::pauses:: I actually haven't had any time for leisure since I joined. But a good read seems to do the trick.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Smiles:: Hamsein: In a way yes. It seems that I'd be lost without her most of the time...

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Smiles at Lurin:: Lurin: Congratulations, Krax.. You just gave me my first smile today... Which, with this rather dry matter, is quite something to do... Thanks again..

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@Dcotor Hamsein: Why? Do you think you're better than I am? What is it; a female can't be a senior medical assistant? Is that it?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Moves over to the tree, sits down. :: Epti:  every war is the same in that respect I suppose.

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ ::Snorts at the CIV:: CMO: Please follow me ... ::Turns and slowly begins to move to the other side of the room::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Elbows Samantha lightly in the side::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::listens to the humming of the lift then frowns at the CTO:: CTO: You prefer books to holonovels? hey became very fashionable in recent years

Quartermaster Krax Lurin says:
::Rather rigidly:: OPS: That wasn't my intention ... but all right. I'm going to monitor the continued supply effort. Good day, sir. ::Turns and exits::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@::Kicks the CMO's back as he turns towards the retreating doctor. Smiling, she makes her way past the CMO::

Epti says:
@ ::Gestures to see if she can take a seat:: XO: May I ..?

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: A good paper book is much better than a holonovel. Where's the imagination if you don’t have to do the work?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Follows the Doctor, rubbing himself on the way:: Self: I'll get you later.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::introduces Braeden to Magdalena and then politely excuses himself and Braeden as they have to make their way to Sierra::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: Well, the imagination is in taking part of the story, perhaps even changing it. You can also change the original programming to better meet your ideas of the characters

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: I have been reviewing the data you have sent me. It is very interesting. Extensive and abrupt cellular regeneration in the absence of external assistance. Your body seems to have found a way to keep itself alive in the face of near brutal death. Several times.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Looks at the Jihejian for a second, then shrugs. :: Epti:  Sure.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods as Lurin leaves again, getting back to his own work::

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
@ ::Seems to make a face at the mention of Sierra:: FCO: All right, you all take care. ::Smiles and heads off::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Picks up the bottle, takes a small drink, then offers it to Epti. ::  Epti:  Kill a few brain-cells?

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: Maybe one day I'll try one. You like that sort of thing?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@Hamsein: Yes, which more than strange considering I used to think of me as nothing more than an ordinary human being. Sadly the Seleya doesn't offer the facilities for further experimentation.

Epti says:
@ ::Smiles:: XO: I'll pass. I have found alternatives to handle my grief.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::looks at Braeden::  Braeden:  Well that was a bit odd.  But, perhaps my senses are a bit off today.  ::smiles at Braeden and walks down the corridor::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@  :: Takes another sip, grimaces, then puts the bottle away. :: Epti:  yeah, I'm not very good at this either.

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: Indeed. ::Comes to a table where various tools lay out:: You survived after being "impaled by an extra-dimensional warlord's sword" - the noted first time you encountered brutal force. In a more recent assault, you survived a laser beam to the head ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: I've tried a few. But I haven't had that much free time. The Seleya is a very big ship. There is plenty to do but also plenty to supervise. And you know, as much as I delegate there is still a lot that depends on my word ::steps out of the lift as it comes to a stop::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::stops as he sees a shop that is selling luxurious types of materials and goes in to browse::

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::walks with the CO:: CO: Any particular genre? Despite being out here I like sci-fi.

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ ::Picks up a small device which is in the shape of a cylinder:: CMO: Let me see your hand.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@Hamsein: Indeed, and I dread to think what may happen the next time we engage in battle.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Holds out his hand in front of the doctor::

Epti says:
@ XO: If I may ask ... who was she?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: I prefer historical novels, especially those involving the sea. I often feel like the first sailors that set out to explore Earth

@ ACTION: Doctor Hamsein presses a button on the cylinder, and the CMO's right index finger disappears in a flash of light. Pain rips through his hand ... and blood splatters onto the ground.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: Only now the sea is endless...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
Transporter Chief: Set the coordinates to the outpost on the surface

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@::Eyes the events as they unfold with interest:: Out loud: Gory.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::yells out in pain, not because he didn't expect something like this to happen but because he didn't think it would happen before coffee::

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ ::Seems oblivious to the CMO's sudden surprise and expression of pain. Already has a tricorder of sorts out and scanning the CMO::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Smirks at Epti's question. ::  Epti:  Kesh....her name was Kesh.   Attitude on two legs would be a pretty good description.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::comes across a material that catches his eye::  Braeden:  I do believe your mother would love this material.  Let's surprise her with some.

@ ACTION: The pain soon begins to subside, as his finger appears to regenerate almost instantly ... bone, muscle, tissue, and blood appear out of nowhere.

@ ACTION: Skin soon forms to cover it ... and the finger is back, good as new.

Epti says:
@ ::Smiles:: XO: You were very much in love with her.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Watches in surprise as he grows a new finger just as he wanted to get his medkit out and stop the bleeding::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: Thats the thing, they thought it was endless back then. Just as we thing space might be endless. And we might be proven very wrong ::takes a place in the transporter padd::

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: Hmmm ...

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: Well I'd certainly like to be around when that happens...and to see what comes....next

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
@::Watches the CMO's finger with interest, eying it suspiciously:: CMO: Can you teach me how to do that?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Uncorks the bottle and takes a long drink from it and grimaces. :: Epti:  She was a pain in the ass.

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: Well, Doctor, you certainly are a conundrum. This is not regeneration.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@CIV: Samantha if I knew how to teach people that I'd be out of a job.

Epti says:
@ XO: And what happened to her?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@Hamsein: Oh?

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::makes the purchase and leaves to head toward an eating establishment::  Braeden:  Okay, I don't know about you, but I'm hungry.  Let's go find a place to eat and wait for your mother.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CTO: You never know how long you will stay, so my goal is to make some progress, leav my contribution to making this a smaller galaxy. Are you ready for transport?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Sit quite for a moment then nods. :: Epti:  But yes, I loved her very much.

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: This? ::Indicates the cylinder that "took care of" the finger:: This is a rather crude matter transporter. I merely removed your finger to transporter buffer. Then monitored your body. Your body did not react to the finger removal as any typical regenerator would.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ Epti: She...had problems.  Problems I guess she didnt think I could help her with.  So she left.

CTO Ens Redwood says:
CO: Maybe we should wait just 3 more minutes.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ Epti:  Disppeared without a trace.

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: Your body did not split cells and perform the traditional methods of what one would consider regeneration. A new finger merely became one with your body. New matter, separate from your own. The original matter of your finger is still in the buffer.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@::Nods::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@Hamsein: So where did the matter come from?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::chuckles::CTO: Very well TC: Energize in ... 2 minutes

CTO Ens Redwood says:
::smiles:: CO: Wonder why they called it energize and not some other fancy word.

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ ::Very thoughtful:: CMO: That is indeed the question. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong or strange with you ... but apparently with the Universe itself. You are a violation of the laws of matter and energy conservation.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::comes upon an eating establishment that looks suitable for the three of them and walks inside, taking Braeden over to a table to have a seat::

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: New matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Yet your body seems to have violated that ... somehow. ::Scratches chin::

Epti says:
@ XO: And you are becoming lost without her ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::shrugs:: CTO: High tech comes with fancy words

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
@::informs Sierra of where they are at and moments later, smiles as he sees his wife enter::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
@Hamsein: The fathers of thermodynamics must be spinning in their grave.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
@ :: Takes one last drink from the bottle then lets it slip from his hand. :: Epti:  I don’t mind being lost.....I just don’t want to be lost alone anymore.

TR Chief says:
::Thinks the CO is very strange, and as per orders, beams them down at the stated time::

Doctor Hamsein says:
@ CMO: Indeed. We have much work to do, Doctor. Much work indeed ...
