LEGACY - PART THE FIRST

"Out of the Past"

=/\==/\==/\==/\==/\= BEGIN MISSION =/\==/\==/\==/\==/\=
ACTION: We begin with a view of a darkened quarters ... a lone figure silently sits before a console, recording an apparent log ...

NARRATIVE: I am a traitor.

NARRATIVE: I have been struggling with this for some time now ... and I have reached that conclusion. Even if I feel my actions were necessary ... the guilt is there. I cannot get rid of it.

NARRATIVE: My actions may have saved something dear. But it may have cost a man's life.

NARRATIVE: When the others find out ... how will they react?

NARRATIVE: I deserve whatever the future holds. I know this now.

NARRATIVE: I am a traitor.

ACTION: We fade out of the darkened room to the present ... where the Sovereign Class USS Seleya warps toward the J'Karen Star System.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::looks down at his console readings and then turns to face the Captain::  CO:  ETA in 20 minutes Captain.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::reads over a padd on the bridge, standing near the science station but not commanding it::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::sitting in her chair, her mind elsewhere::FCO: Thank you. ::gets up wondering if everyone is at the bridge yet::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
:: Finishes his preliminary Away Team report and taps the last of his suggestions for members into the PADD, then stands and moves over to the CO's chair. ::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::On the bridge, reading his PADD in a corner::

ACTION: Out the windows of the vessel, the crew can see the Aidoree Nebula, crimson and orange in the heavens around them.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Sitting at his console on the bridge, monitoring the cargo bay's status::

EO Ens Tana says:
::near the Cargomaster's station in the main cargo bay, face screwed up in distaste::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Quietly slips onto the bridge, curious as why she was asked to be there.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: Everyone, please pay attention. I have an important announcement to make. That is why I called you here now, even our esteemed medical team

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Looks up and smiles at everyone::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::turns his attention back to the Captain::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::lifts his head briefly, unable to take his eyes from his padd, but listening intently::

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
::Looks from the secondary science console, wondering what is going on::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::looks up and listens::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
:: Nods at the Captain. ::   CO:  Aye Captain.  :: Places the PADD near the Captain and stands off to the side. ::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::starts pacing the bridge and speaking:: All: this is bridge is the soul of the Seleya but all of you give her heart and so this is the right place and you are the right people to witness this ::stops next to the XO::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks around at the CO as she speaks::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: Commander A'an Selzah, you have been an asset to this ship for many years. In many ways, you complement me with your quick thinking and acting

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: because of that it is my great honour to promote you to the rank of full Commander effectively immediately, with all the rights and responsibilities associated with the job

EO Ens Tana says:
::still holding his nose, reaches down with his free hand to request a status check from the other pens::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
:: turns and blinks at the CO, caught a little off guard by the sudden attention. ::

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
::Claps:: XO: Woohoo, congratulations Commander!

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::removes his hollow pit and replaces it with a golden one she had hidden somewhere in her uniform:: XO: Congratulations A’an ::smiles::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods a congratulations::

ACTION: A Betazoid Ayven beast snarls at the EO as he passes by.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Claps::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::claps briefly, not showing much appreciation or acknowledgment::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO:  Congratulations Commander.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: everyone dismissed, drinks are on the Commander here once we finish this

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says:
:: Can't fight off the smile completely, and straightens ups a little. :: CO:  Thank you Captain.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: Dismissed to do your duties of course

Miss Belinda Honey says:
*CO* Captain, is it all right if we bring the children by as we discussed?

EO Ens Tana says:
::startled, stumbles back one step and glares at the animal:: Ayven: Same to you...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
*Honey*: Ah yes Miss Honey, bring them along

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::turns and heads for the turbolift, feeling slightly annoyed:: TL: Main science lab.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Slips onto the lift and heads down for the cargo bay.::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
Self: Interesting use of my time. ::Walks into the open turbolift:: TL: Deck 7.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Turns his attention back to the cargo bay, making sure everything is still in order there::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods to the CSO who has joined her.::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Suddenly appears beside the CO with a large bowl of candy, starts handing candy out to the crew:: CO: As you requested, ma'am.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: Now to get down to business, I have a slight change of plans. The preserve leader knows my research and he has requested my presence to discuss a few details. So I will be leading this away team

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::pays no attention to the MO, still reading his PADD::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::accepts this PADD:: XO: I don't think its a problem, this should be a perfectly safe situation

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says:
::Puts a handful on OPS' console:: OPS: Don't eat any, it's for the children!

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
CO:  We are now 10 minutes out.  Slowing to impulse.  ::enters commands::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Honours the unspoken request for silence and quietly waits for the lift to stop as science is before the cargo bay.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::takes the bowl from Ivanova:: Ivanova: Thank you

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Steps into the TL:: TL: Main engineering

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Exits the lift and walks down the corridor towards sickbay::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift stops at science::  CSO: Have a pleasant day.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: Plenty of time for our next assignment

ACTION: A side turbolift opens, and Miss Belinda Honey, the Seleya's schoolteacher, comes onto the bridge with a batch of her students all dressed in various costumes. Apparently, the Terran holiday Halloween is around the corner.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Nods at the CO. :: CO:  Well, its seems to be a relatively safe mission, but if you insist on going, at least take a security detail along.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::steps out of the TL automatically and looks back, seeming surprised to hear a voice:: MO: Oh, thank you doctor.

ACTION: The Seleya drops out of warp as they approach the J'karen star system.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods:: XO: Very well, I'll add them to your suggested members. Meanwhile I trust you to keep things under control here

EO Ens Tana says:
Self: So large, and hairy and smelly and no toilet etiquette. Bloody animals...  Going to take forever to clean up after them.  ::stabs at the controls to adjust the temperature slightly in Pen 4 and then brings his hand back up to rub his spots slightly:: ::shouts at the animals:: Quiet, you're giving me a headache!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods and watches the doors close before continuing down to the cargo bay.::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Frowns at the sweets and pushes them aside a little as they were blocking the cargo bay readings::

ACTION: The children move in awed silence on the bridge, a whispered giggle passing from a "bumble-bee" to a child-sized carrot.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
All: And here are our next guests

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Nods, then smirks slightly. :: CO:  Shouldn’t be a problem so long as no one tries to reprogram the damn Holodeck.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::whispers:: XO: I don't think so. At least these kids aren't big enough for that. Though they do learn fast these days ...

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Walks into his office and goes back to going over duty rosters and shuffling shifts::

Miss Belinda Honey says:
::Steps up to the CO & XO as the children begin to move from console to console, where they are provided candy by the officers who have them::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Grimaces slightly at the children a little, never having been all that comfortable around them. ::  CO: Maybe...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps off the lift and walks over toward Jewel and her son, replying to the unspoken question.::  Jewel: The captain wanted us to witness the first officers promotion in rank.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
Honey: Hello Miss Honey, I hope the children will enjoy the visit

Miss Belinda Honey says:
CO & XO: Thank you for doing this again, Commanders.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::tosses the padd onto a table and looks around to those quietly working, making sure everything's ready for the study of the affected animals::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Smiles weakly. ::

"Little Smurf"says:
::A boy dressed as a strange blue-skinned creature with white pants and a white hat steps up to the OPS console, holding up his bag::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::looks up and smiles at the child beside him::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
Honey: It’s no big bother. These guys need some distractions now and then. And no one can provide that as well as children ::puts some candy on a passing by carrot's bag

Starfleet Girl says:
::A girl in a tiny Starfleet uniform with a red collar and three golden pips steps up to the CO, and tugs on her uniform::

EO Ens Tana says:
::hears a jingling at one of the pen gates and frowns:: Self: Not again. Just felt the ship drop out of warp though. At least we're there... ::climbs down off the cargomaster's platform and goes to check on the pen's gate::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::smiles at the girl:: Girl: and what kind of candy would you like

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: With Braeden following along, she does a last check of the animals.::  Jewel: Azhure started off as a vet, I think she would enjoy seeing this.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Looks up as a seemingly miniature Bolian with white pants and head steps up, and only then realises it's just the costume, takes a sweet and deposits it in his bag:: Smurf: Here you go.. ::Smiles, then turns back to his console::

Starfleet Girl says:
CO: I can't have candy. Mommy says I need to eat veg'ables if I'm going to grow up and be a strong Star'feet officer. Do you know who I'm supposed to be?

"Little Smurf" says:
OPS: Thank you! ::Steps over to the FCO::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Sits down in his office and opens up his to-do list::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: taps his combadge. :: *EO*:  XO to Ensign Tana, report to Transporter room 1 for planet side duty.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::smiles:: Girl: A brave Starfleet Commander I'd say. And I am sure a small candy is fine. I can talk to your mother and ask, she won't deny a request from the commanding officer

Starfleet Girl says:
::Smiles and takes the candy:: CO: I'm you, silly!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Watching her son's expression of awe as she stops at one of the exotics, humour in her voice.::  ~~~~ FCO: Are you sure you do not want another four-legged family member?~~~~

EO Ens Tana says:
::blinks as he sees the doctor on his way to check the lock:: MO: Excuse me, Doctor. The animals are fine. I just have to check the... ::groans and leans against the pen, holding his head::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Stepa quickly forward.::  EO: What is wrong?

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::looks up at the little smurf, smiles and deposits a treat in the bag::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: taps his combadge. :: *MO*:  XO to Dr. Knight-Sky, report to Transporter room 1 for planet side duty.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::rubs his temples slowly, promising himself he'll try to get some sleep tonight; also, in the future, don't run 5 experiments at once::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
~~~MO:  Oh sure, why not.  We can always get a second set of quarters!~~~  ::grins to himself::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*XO*: I will be there momentarily:

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Motions Jewel to take Braeden.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
CO:  We are arriving now.  Heading to the fifth planet.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::raises her eyebrows, then laughs aloud:: Girl: Thank you, though I didn't get in this position by calling my commanding officers silly ::chuckles:: Girl: Though in your age you should be thinking of bumblebees and yellow teddies, not Starfleet, not yet

XO Cmdr Aan says:
*CSO*:  You'll be accompanying the Captain planet side as well.  She'll need you to help in determining what’s causing these disappearances.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Notices the incoming transmission from the orbital platform, requesting their arrival code, and transmits the code in a reply message::

EO Ens Tana says:
::deeply rubbing his eyes:: MO: I'm.... ::breath:: ...fine. Just a ::groan:: headache...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::notices the XO is already preparing the away team and lets him do his job::

ACTION: The EO looks pale.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
EO: I need to report for away team duty, but before that, I will see you to medical.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::senses Sierra's concern::  *MO*:  Sierra, is everything okay down there?

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::sighs softly and taps his combadge:: *XO*: Outstanding, sir. ::is noticeably annoyed::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Reaches up to tap her commbadge.::  *CMO*: Ensign Tana is experiencing some problems.  I am bringing him to medical.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
Self: That should keep them on edge for the next couple of weeks... *MO*: Understood.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*FCO*: I am well, but one of our engineers is not.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
*MO*:  Understood.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
CO:  Captain, it appears our EO is experiencing some problems.  Sierra is taking him to sickbay.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: Very well. I am glad he is being taken care of .. Let’s hope it’s not a toxic leak

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Quietly guides Tana to the lift.::  CPU: Medical.

EO Ens Tana says:
::follows along with Knight-Sky::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Moves over to Pandora's station. :: OPS:  The Captain has decided to lead this away team, so I want full coverage of the area while she's down there.  Keep a transporter lock on them at all times and let’s do a surface scan for anything out of the ordinary for the immediate area.  I don’t expect any problems, but you never know.

EO Ens Tana says:
MO: I'll be fine in a minute. ::still holding his head:: It'll pass.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Notices the promised hail:: CO: Incoming transmission from the planet.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::looks away from the girl:: XO: I can take Commander Maor along. He should provide enough security :: heads for the turbo lift::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::nods as he brings the Seleya into orbit of the fifth planet::  CO:  We're in orbit Captain.

ACTION: Pain suddenly rips through the EO's head, everything goes red and he collapses ... sweat beads his face.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
FCO: Thank you.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
OPS:  Have a standard security detail accompany the Captain as well.  :: Turns and gives her a slight smirk again. ::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
EO: Perhaps it will.  But in the kind of work we do, one does not take risks.  It could be anything from something serious to perhaps just an allergic reaction to our guests.  :: As the lift stops, she steps out.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
OPS: On screen

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::leaves science and heads for the turbolift, heading for the transporter room::

ACTION: A surprised looking Bolian appears on screen.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Taps his console and puts the communication on the main viewer:: CO: On screen, aye..

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*XO*: Commander, I should be there shortly.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Walks into the main area of sickbay and waits for the MO and EO::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*XO*: Cancel that...

Ugoya says:
@ COM: Seleya: Oh, hello! Sorry ... one moment ... ::Gathers a bunch of PADDs in front of him:: ... sorry, I wasn't expecting you so soon and oh ... I thought Captain Gomezi was a male ...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*CMO*: Medical emergency... ::goes down to her knees.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::looks up at the viewscreen::

EO Ens Tana says:
::thud::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods at the XO to indicate he understood the orders, then taps some more to send a message to the security department::

Ugoya says:
@ ::Peers at his notes::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Gently turns the EO onto his back::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::frowns then attempts a smile:: CO: Ugoya: You thought wrong. My team and I are ready to beam down

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*MO*: Are you affected?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
*CMO*: Unknown, we are just outside of medical...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
EO: Tana, can you hear me?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: frowns a little, moves off to the side to avoid being overheard and taps his combadge. :: *MO*:  Something wrong?

Ugoya says:
@ COM: Seleya: Right ... right ... oh, Gomes! COMMANDER Gomes. My apologies. I'm sending co-ordinates now. I'll meet you there, and escort you to Director Resnen.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Erects a force field around the central biobed:: Computer: Transport Mo Knight-Sky and EO Tana into the containment area.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: Ugoya: Thank you

ACTION: As the crew are getting to work, the children filter off the bridge.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
~~~MO:  Sierra, what is it!?~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::taps her badge:: *CIV*: Meet me in transporter room 1 for away team duty. You will be in charge of security

ACTION: The MO & EO are beamed into sickbay.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ FCO: Unknown, Tana has just collapsed in pain.~~~~

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Turns around to the captain:: CO: We received the coordinates..

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Finding herself in a containment field, she reaches over to activate the medical diagnostic panel.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: The CSO should be able to fill in for the MO's functions and we will call if we need anyone else.

EO Ens Tana says:
::lies dashingly on a biobed::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
OPS: Thank you. Send them to the transporter room

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods, half turning around:: CO: One?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Nods. :: CO:  I'll keep you appraised on whatever's going on.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Looks at the MO:: MO: How are you feeling? ::Initiates a scan using the overhead sensor array on both of them::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
CMO: I am well, but Tana is not.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::nods to the OPS:: OPS: Yes. XO: Thank you

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::yawns slightly as he enters Transporter Room 1, making sure he has his tricorder and a padd handy::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
CMO: I am reading blood swelling on his brain.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Taps the buttons to send the coordinates to transporter room 1, then takes another look at the cargo bay readings::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
*CEO*: Since Ens Tana fell ill, the Seleya will have to do without you. Meet me in TR1 for away team duty

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::enters the lift:: Computer: Transporter room 1

CMO Dr Atreides says:
MO: In any case, let's treat it as if it's contagious before we risk any contamination...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::watches the doors close and feels the speeding down to the transporter room. Her mind is full of questions::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
*CO* Aye captain ::Gets up and walks to the TL:: TL: TR1

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
CMO: I will need the equipment to treat this.  First I need an anti-inflammatory.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::As the lift arrives, she exits and heads for the transporter room:: CSO/CIV: Are you ready?

EO Ens. Y'dren says:
::The concerned female friend of the EO rushes into Sickbay:: CMO: I heard that Tana was hurt!

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::gets a tricorder and a phaser from a local operations officer::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Moves over to the command chair and sits down. ::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::nods:: CO: Yes, captain.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Opens her mental shields to better treat Tana and frowns.::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Walks into the TL and grabs a tricoder and phaser::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
CMO: I am picking up something that should not be there... :: lightly touches his brow.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
CIV/CSO/CEO: And Ensign Barnes should be on his way, once he’ll get here we’ll be all ready. ::steps onto the transporter pad::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Gets a hypospray out of one of the drawers near him and transports it into the field using one of the portable units in sickbay:: MO: Organic?

EO Ens. Y'dren says:
::More freaked than usual, suggesting more than simple concern::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
::Steps onto the pad::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Leans on one elbow and grimaces at Pandora. :: OPS:  Let’s hope this mission doesn’t turn into another fiasco.

EO Ens. Y'dren says:
CMO / MO: He-he's been having headaches for weeks ... but I don't think he ever got it checked out!

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
::pockets the padd and steps onto the transporter::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods curtly at the Captain's direction, making his towards one of the free pads::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
::sees everyone is ready:: Transporter Chief: Energize

CMO Dr Atreides says:
EO: For weeks, you say?

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods:: XO: Indeed.... ::Turns around in his chair:: XO: When is the transport of these animals to the surface scheduled? I can't find it in the duty roster..

ACTION: The away team beams to the surface. They appear in the midst of a beautiful jungle. The sun is out ... and it is humid. A path leads to an elaborate facility. Animals hoot in the distance.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::sighs, disliking the feeling of being sweaty and sticky::

EO Ens. Y'dren says:
::Tears are beginning to well up in her eyes as she looks at Tana lying there::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@CO: The calm before the storm? ::Moves ahead of the team, giving his surroundings a quick inspection::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::takes a deep breath when her molecules come together, then she looks around::

Ugoya says:
@ ::Runs from the building down the path toward them:: ALL: Sorry I'm late. So much to do! Welcome!

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO/CIV/CEO: This is a bit like R&R

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO:  The Captain and AT are now on the planet.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
OPS:  Should begin as soon as they give us the transport co-ordinates.  You'll probably have to resend the request; they seem a little preoccupied with the Captains visit.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@CO: If you call feeling like a slug R&R, then yes, yes it is.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
MO: See if you can pick up any toxins in his bloody, maybe this is somehow related with our cargo, and even if it isn't I'd like to check it out.

Ugoya says:
@ ::Gestures:: ALL: Please, follow me.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Ugoya: I understand, a scientist's work never ends. So we should get to business. These are my expert officers to help you. Commander Maor, Lt Sumner and Ens barnes

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods and begins taking a blood sample.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::looks down as his console beeps::  XO:  A vessel has just entered the system.

CEO Ens Barnes says:
@All: It’s a nice place here

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::follows him:: CSO: scan everything, one never knows what might be important

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Nods:: XO: Confused seems to be more appropriate.. I wonder how many visits they get a month.. From the way that Bolian was fussing, a lot... ::Shakes head, turning to his console to send the request to the facility's main office::

Ugoya says:
@ ALL: A pleasure to meet you. We appreciate you bringing the animals from Betazed. And are grateful for your assistance. In all honesty, most of the staff are very concerned.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::follows the Bolian, drawing his tricorder and started wide scans:: CO: Yes, sir.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Turns to the FCO. :: FCO:  Designation?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Ugoya: And you should be. Did you scan the recovered animals. Are they the original ones or do they show signs of cloning?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: After that, gives him an injection of an anti-inflamatory for his brain.::

Ugoya says:
@ CO: That's what we thought too. But they seem to be the original ones ... however, you may have better scanners. You might be able to note any discrepancies.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO: Checking now.  Identification cannot be determined at this time.  I suggest more thorough scans be made.  Vessel's ETA to the planet is two minutes.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@Ugoya: We'll need to take a few creatures for further study.

Ugoya says:
@ ::As they enter the building:: CSO: Of course, provided you promise to take the utmost care ... and not to harm them in any way.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@Ugoya: Of course. We'll use the holodeck to recreate an environment they're used to.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Frowns. :: FCO:  Move to intercept.   :: Turns to OPS. :: OPS:  I need a thorough scan of that ship.  I want to know who it is and their purpose is.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Ugoya: There are very sophisticated cloning techniques lately. We might pick something. Do you have any remains at the moment? Of any dissected animal?

@ ACTION: The building is a gorgeous museum of alien architecture. Holographic displays of most of the prominent animals that are housed there.

Ugoya says:
@ CO: Yes.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: The blood sample on a special transport, she taps the command and watches it dematerialize to another outside of the force field area.::  CMO: I have him stabilized.  If there are no objections, I am going to see what is going on inside or head... what someone was messing around with.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::nods::  XO:  Aye.  ::sets an intercept course and engages::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Nods in approval and goes to analyse the blood sample::

ACTION: The gorgeous Seleya breaks orbit of the planet, and comes about ... moving to intercept the vessel that has entered the star system.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Ugoya: Good, maybe we will have a chance to compare those directly to the recovered animal. Tell me, the animals only reappear after you dispose of the remains or have you had the chance to have both the living animal and its respective remains at the same time?

Ugoya says:
@ CO: Only after.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::fights the urge to ask about signs of intrusion; that's a tactical officer's job::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Ugoya: Curious ::looks around:: Ugoya: you have quite a museum here

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
::Adjusting the table, she moves to the head of it and lightly places her fingers along the key points of his face.::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Taps the blinking light and reads through the message, then opens the attached files:: XO: We received the transfer times now.. They have a whole complicated schedule for it... ::Shakes head, only then noticing they broke orbit::

Ugoya says:
@ CO: We are very proud of what we've put together here.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::senses what Sierra is about to do::  Self:  She has just got to stop doing that.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Taps the armrest of the command chair, lost in thought, then taps the Yellow alert LCAR. ::  Self:  Err on the side of caution.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Ugoya: are you and the animals you brought the only inhabitants of this planet?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
OPS:  they can wait.

Ugoya says:
@ CO: Yes. I believe the Director is free to see you now.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Closing her eyes, she focuses and then speaks quietly to Tana, for this is not a mind meld.::  ~~~~EO: Tana, can you hear me?~~~~

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Taps the screen to focus external cameras on the vessel:: XO: Vessel in visual range now.. On screen..

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO:  We appear to have their attention as they are slowing.  They don't appear to want to run from us.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Ugoya: Thank you. Does she want to meet me privately or can you show my team to the kidnapped animals and the places they were taken from?

XO Cmdr Aan says:
OPS:  Hail them and ask for designation and authorization.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
Self: Well that's interesting; he's as healthy as the proverbial horse according to this.

ACTION: The approaching vessel appears on screen ... and is a strange sight indeed. It seems to be a Frankenstein monster of various vessel parts ... a clearly noted Galaxy Class saucer section comprises a good portion of the main hull, with an apparent Ambassador engineering section with other parts mixed in below it ...

ACTION: ... three different nacelles, all from different types of Federation starship, are attached.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
FCO:  What the hell?  :: Frowns. ::  FCO:  I don’t like the looks of this.   Keep us paralell to them, out of standard main weapons range.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Taps his console to start a hail:: XO: Trying now.. I am amazed this ship is working at all...

Ugoya says:
@ CO: The Director has a large office. I'm sure she can accommodate all of you. She likes to show off her view. Right this way!

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO:  Very curious indeed.  ::brings the ship parallel to the other vessel::

EO Ens Tana says:
~~~~ ::trapped inside a red haze:: MO: Who's there? ~~~~

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::nods and follows:: CIV/CEO/CSO: Lets meet our host

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@Ugoya: The sooner we start analyzing the animals, the better.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ EO: I am Sky... Someone has been tampering with your mind.  With your help, we should see what exactly it is and what they have done.  Are you alright with this?~~~~

XO Cmdr Aan says:
OPS:  I want a complete analysis of that ship.  what its weapons load out is, shield strength, everything.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
XO: No response... Not very surprising though.. I read Nebula, Galaxy, Ambassador and Excelsior class components... Definitely should not be working... ::Shakes head::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
FCO:  Cut them off.

EO Ens Tana says:
~~~~ MO: Doctor Knight? Tampering with my mind? Who? Wha.... ::clearly panicking:: ~~~~

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
OPS:  But yet there it is.  ::moves to cut the vessel off::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Frowns as the list becomes more detailed:: XO: I'm actually receiving vessel registries for most of these parts.... At the very least, there are parts from the Callisto, Geneva and Gryphon...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Projects to him a sense of calmness::  ~~~~ EO: It is alright... stay with me.~~~~

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@::Follows the Captain::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Taps red alert. :: All: this is damn peculiar.  OPS:  give me a status report on those ships.  I want to know how they got these components.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Continues down the list:: XO: Orion, Pendragon, Titon, Sele...... ::Stops in the middle of the word::

ACTION: The Seleya goes to red alert as it moves to cut off the hodge-podge vessel.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Blinks and re-reads the word:: XO: Seleya?

EO Ens Tana says:
~~~~ ::feels violated:: MO: Can you fix me? ~~~~

XO Cmdr Aan says:
aTO:  Charge Phasers, Quantum and Photon torpedoes.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Frowns:: XO: Incoming hail...

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Frowns at the FCO. :: OPS:  On screen.

@ ACTION: Ugoya leads them into a large office where a frail looking woman sits behind a desk. She stands to greet them.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Puts it on screen::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::admires the museum as they go along::

ACTION: A very familiar figure appears on the screen, his arms crossed and a grin on his face ... much to the XO's shock ...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: With a gentle touch, she eases some of his stress and then finds what it is she was looking for.::  ~~~~EO: I will help you.  Right now, I am going to pull back, you will simply feel the absence of my presence.~~~~

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::looks up at the viewscreen::

Balthazar says:
# COM: Seleya: Hello A'an.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::extends her hand to the woman:: Leader: I am honoured you called us here. You have keep a very pretty museum here

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Goes white and slowly stands, slightly in shock. :: ::Whispers::  Balthazar....

Director Resnen says:
@ ::Shakes the CO's hand:: CO: Why thank you ... I'm confused though, I wasn't expecting you Commander ...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Opening her eyes, looks down into Tana's face.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::senses what is going on, but keeps to himself::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::quirks an eyebrow, starting to get that feeling::

Balthazar says:
# COM: Seleya: It has been some time. I'm glad to see you are still on that wretched vessel.

EO Ens Tana says:
::still lying there dashingly::

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Resnen: You weren't? I was told you requested my presence because you were familiar with my research ::frowns::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
MO: Welcome back to the land of the living.

Director Resnen says:
@ ::Shakes her head:: CO: No, I never said any such thing.

@ ACTION: A feeling of unease begins to permeate the away team.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks over at the CMO, concern in her eyes.::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Turns around to look at the XO::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@CO: I don't like this at all... we should return to the ship/

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Comes to his senses and speaks, his throat suddenly feeling dry as sandpaper. :: Balthazar:  What the hell do you want, you bastard?

CMO Dr Atreides says:
MO: Did you manage to contact him?

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@Resnen: But then why would they ....want me off my ship ::taps her badge:: *OPS*:Gomes to Seleya

@ ACTION: No response.

@ ACTION: Static greets the CO.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::whispers to Pandora::  OPS:  You know anything about this person?

@ ACTION: A frighten familiar whine begins to fill their ears ...

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::closes her eyes:: All: We were set up.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps away from the engineer to the edge of the field.::  CMO: I do not think this is necessary.  Someone has been manipulating the engineers brain, in what he sees and understands; basically his area of perception.  They have had him do things he did not realize he was doing.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Shakes head and whispers:: FCO: Complete stranger...

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::starts to wish he'd brought a phaser with him::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Shakes the cobwebs from his mind and barks orders at the FCO. :: FCO;  Evasive action!  Get us out of here now!

Balthazar says:
# COM: Seleya: To inflict my revenge, dear boy. And I'm not the only one ...

@ ACTION: One of the security officers looks down in surprise as something has set his phaser to overload ... he cries out and tries to grab it, but it's too late. It explodes, taking him and two other sec. officers with him ...

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Drops the force field:: MO: Interesting, whoever it is appears to be behind his episode as well as I didn't detect anything which would normally cause an aneurysm.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
CMO: You need to let the XO know that all the security work that he and OPS have been doing have been corrupted.  He has subconsciously been subverting this vessel in every way possible.  Our ship is in grave danger.

@ ACTION: The AT is thrown about.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO:  Acknowledged.  ::brings the Seleya about and takes her away from the vessel::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
@::draws his phaser and takes a look around::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
XO: The vessel is no match for our weaponry...

ACTION: Suddenly all the consoles on the bridge start to flicker. Systems begin to make weird noises.

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::watches in horror as that happens and throws away her phaser right before she is thrown about::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO:  Our AT Commander?

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::collides with a wall and collapses, his mind working frantically to change gears from science offiver to tactical officer::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*XO*: Atreides to A'an.

TO Sing says:
XO: Sir, shields are shutting down!

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Shakes his head at Pandora. :: OPS:  Not with him aboard.  aCTO:  Fire at will, fire everything!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ FCO: The ship is in danger... be wary~~~~ :: Mentally sends him all she has seen.::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
::Taps his combadge. :: CMO;  Make it quick Doctor, we're in serious trouble here!

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@::Gets thrown around, as he struggles to regain his balance:: CO: I think we've overstayed our welcome here, Captain. ::Removes his phase, giving the skies a quick look before returning his attention towards her::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
~~~MO:  Too late Sierra.~~~

@ ACTION: Out of the smoke, several phaser blasts happen ... striking the CSO, the CIV, and then the CO, causing them to fall stunned.

CMO Dr Atreides says:
*XO*: EO tana has been compromised by an unknown force; anything he may have worked on is suspect.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Frowns:: XO: Consoles are failing.. Systems seem to be shutting down all over the ship.. And I am being locked out.. ::Works frantically to remain in the system:: Seems some program has executed.. Coming in through the new security systems...

CEO Ens Barnes says:
@::ducks behind cover trying to see where the phaser fire is coming from::

@ ACTION: The CEO is hit soon too.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Sends Jewel a warning to get herself and Braeden along with the rest of the family to an area of safety.::

@ ACTION: But not by a phaser blast, by some unknown force, which lifts him up and throws him against a wall ... a figure emerges from the smoke.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
FCO:  We need to get out of here if they’re going to have any chance.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ FCO: We may be looking at a form of telekinesis.~~~~

XO Cmdr Aan says:
All:  damn it.....not again, please Prophets not again.....

CEO Ens Barnes says:
@::feeling sore as he is lying against the wall looking for his phaser::

Balthazar says:
# COM: Seleya: It was good to see you again, A'an. Goodbye.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO:  Working on it Commander.  ::engages impulse engines::

@ ACTION: The phaser is near the CEO's grasp ... but the figure steps on it, and as he looks up, he sees SO Ens. Magdalena Arkoff, who smiles at him.

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::keeps it in his head to keep his tricorder going before falling unconscious::

SO Ens. Arkoff says:
@ CEO: Goodnight, "Gracie." ::Shoots him with a phaser::

CEO Ens Barnes says:
@::slumps against the wall::

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Hits the console in frustration:: XO: We lost phasers and shields, warp is online fortunately... Impulse and torpedo systems seem to be shutting down now... ::Taps his console to counter the program::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Falls back into the command chair, half dazed by fear. ::  FCO:  Run....

ACTION: As Balthazar goes off the comm., the hodge-podge vessel lets loose with it's weaponry. Normally they'd be no match ... but now the Seleya has no shields ...

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
XO:  Again I ask.....what about our AT?

ACTION: ... KRAKABOOM! A torpedo rips through the engineering section of the ship.

ACTION: Phaser fire lances across the Seleya's hull.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::engages warp::

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Roars at Knight. :: RUN!

CO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::sleeps a dream-less sleep::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Falls backward across Tana.::

ACTION: The ship rocks, explosions rip through the vessel ... bulkheads collapse ... a console explodes on the bridge, throwing OPS aside.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Staggers to the side as the ship rocks.::

ACTION: In Sickbay, bulkheads collapse on the CMO and others.

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::grabs his console and then tries to compensate for the explosion::

ACTION: Three more torpedoes hit their mark before the Seleya leaps into warp. A major explosion rips through the bridge.

OPS Lt Pandora says:
::Gets thrown from his seat as the console explodes and covers his head to prevent a bigger injury::

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Holds onto a table as the ship rocks, and gets thrown to the floor by the weight suddenly falling on him::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: As dust filters down, she pulls Tana down roughly from the biobed and onto the floor, pushing him under the biobed.::

ACTION: The ship is shaking violently as it flies into warp speed.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Flies through the air, slamming into the guardrail surrounding the bridge and doubling over, the wind knocked out of him. ::

FCO Cmdr Knight says:
::pulls himself back up to his console::  XO:  I'm heading for the Aidoree nebula.

ACTION: There are dead, dying and injured throughout the ship as smaller explosions begin to ripple from the earlier ones ...

CMO Dr Atreides says:
::Groans on the floor, somewhat stunned::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: A light mind touch shows her family is fine.  Leaving Tana, she crawls over toward the debris and standing, begins to remove it, knowing there is no one else available right now.::

CSO LtJG Sumner says:
@::thinks of Mara before slipping into full unconsciousness::

EO Ens Tana says:
::lies, stuffed under the biobed, dashingly::

General Disdain says:
# ::Steps up beside Balthazar, the Charnokan General frowns at the Seleya escaping:: Balthazar: You let them get away ...

Balthazar says:
# ::Looks around the bridge of HIS vessel:: Disdain: Yes, well, that is the thrill of the chase. ::Grin builds:: The chase is on.

XO Cmdr Aan says:
:: Shakes his head, dazed. :: Prophets:  Damn you....damn you all.....

ACTION: As the smoking Seleya runs for cover ... we fade back to the office of Director Resnen as the traitor ... Magdalena Arkoff steps over to the CO who's eyes flutter in dream.

SO Ens. Magdalena Arkoff says:
@ CO: Tsk tsk tsk ... Alexandra ... you're probably wondering why this is happened ... how this could have happened ...

SO Ens. Magdalena Arkoff says:
@ CO: You're probably wondering who could have done this ...

SO Ens. Magdalena Arkoff says:
@ CO: Who could?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Finding the CMO's hand, gently grabs it to feel for a pulse.::

@ ACTION: Arkoff's form begins to waver and change ...

SO Ens. Magdalena Arkoff says:
@ CO: Who would?

@ ACTION: Arkoff's true form is revealed.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods, as expected, and finishes unbarring him and the others.::

@ ACTION: The grinning form of the old Seleya foe is revealed ... Morosea Da.

Morosea Da says:
@ CO: Who else?
