Star Trek: Apache - Episode #21
Week # 5
Mission: "The Hero Khrysaros"

Host Jafo says:
The Apache had finally arrived in orbit of Betazed. There, they picked up the stranded members of the Captain's away team, minus Lieutenant Masterson, Jaxlt Burta, and Captain Linard herself.  Meanwhile, interrogation had begun of Gil Suppec, an old Cardassian acquaintance of the Apache's crew.

Host Jafo says:
As for Captain Linard herself, she found herself in a Romulan holding cell, where a Romulan centurion arrived and took her for questioning. Onboard the Apache, the crew learns that their old foe, Glinn Dorchel, was behind the Cardassian attack on Hynozad, and is after the Staff of Khrysaros as well.

Host Jafo says:
Now, an away team leaves the Apache via runabout to locate their captain, heading to a concentration of photonic particles on Betazed, the crew on the Apache continue to attempt to gain more information, and the Captain remains in Romulan custody.

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO: Are you okay, Lieutenant?

XO_Storal says:
::looks up at the CIV, and takes the PADD from his hand:: CIV: Is this your report on the interrogation?

CEO_Yeung says:
@ CSO: Tell me when we've reached the edge of the emissions.

CIV_Torsian says:
XO: Sir, yes sir. ::stands stiffly at attention::

OPS_Marsland says:
::walks up to the Doctor:: CMO: Hey... ::grins:: …think we'll be getting out of here soon?

CMO_Naegle says:
::sees Marsland as she's coming out of her office:: OPS: Tom! How are you doing?

SO_Bern says:
::scratches his head and looks his panel over once again::  Self: I guess the away team will take care of things.  ::stands back a bit and folds his arms in front of him::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::grumbles:: CO/TO: Nor do I...

CNS_Lux says:
::talks with the crewman for a bit, and nods, and taps in an appointment in the PADD in her hand:: Crewman: So ... I'll see you and your son later then.

XO_Storal says:
CIV: Do you want to explain your interrogation techniques?

EO_Tana says:
::looks up at Doctor Naegle's voice in anticipation:: CMO: Doctor, can I be released?

OPS_Marsland says:
CMO: I'm feeling better Janet, you?

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: Any ideas, Captain?

CMO_Naegle says:
OPS/EO: I don't see why not, gentlemen.  Let me make one final check on Mister Tana. ::runs a portable medical tricorder over him::

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO/Jax: Not to worry ... we're the only ones here anyway.  I hope the rest of the away team got away okay.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::turns to rest of the team:: All: All right, opinions. What should be our next step?

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: Patience, my patient.

EO_Tana says:
::tries not to fidget::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CEO: We're within visual range now.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: We should identify our target, and it's potential danger.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::shakes her head:: TO: Not at the moment ... this ship is crawling with guards.  We wouldn't make for an escape...

XO_Storal says:
SO: Mister Bern, prepare a planetary probe and launch it towards Hynozad. I  want to know what was so special about that place.

CIV_Torsian says:
XO: Sir, I do not believe I require an explanation.  I followed your orders as best I could.  I interrogated him the way I was trained, perhaps it is not the best way, but it always gets results.  It is regrettable that the subject could not take it.

CMO_Naegle says:
OPS: Doing good, Tom.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%CO: Captain? What do you mean ... I thought you said you saw the rest of the away team when they led you away? ::looks at her intently, growing more concerned if Jenia isn't here::

SO_Bern says:
XO:  I'll have it ready in a minute, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
::shakes her head as she continues on her way to the turbolift::  Self: What's with space traveling and kids wetting the bed?  ::shrugs and taps the control to call for a cart::

SO_Bern says:
::begins preparations to launch a probe to orbit Hynozad and take surface readings::

OPS_Marsland says:
CMO: So, are we fit for full duty?  I think we're needed elsewhere...

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: I tried to reach Jenia when I was in the interrogation room. She wasn't responding ... she wasn't even anywhere near me.

XO_Storal says:
SO: Good. CIV:  Your methods went against Starfleet protocols and were uncalled for.  He is a prisoner and has rights.

CEO_Yeung says:
@All: All right, we'll move in nice and slow, and collect as much information as we can about what is inside that photonic bubble.

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: I don't believe in waiting, Captain.  There has to be a way around the guards … or, better yet, through them.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::nods::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::looks confused::

EO_Tana says:
::flexes his left hand, ignoring the small sparks of pain and stiffness::

CMO_Naegle says:
OPS: Yes, you both can go. ::nods to the EO that he can get up:: Just come see me if anything feels wrong.

CIV_Torsian says:
::takes in a deep breath:: XO: Forgive me, sir.  I am a Marine, and am trained differently than an ordinary officer.

SO_Bern says:
::calibrates it to avoid as much of the scattering interference as possible, but isn't too sure it'll help all that much:: XO: Probe's ready for launch, sir.  Just give the word.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::has a thought:: Prue: Miss Prue, can you make contact with Captain Linard telepathically?

EO_Tana says:
::hops off the bed and smiles a little:: CMO: Thank you, Doctor. OPS: Lieutenant. ::nods to them both and makes a beeline for the door::

OPS_Marsland says:
CMO: All right, hopefully I'll see you later. ::grins, then turns to the EO:: EO: Ready to get to the bridge?

TO_Masterson says:
%::walks around the cell thinking of a way out::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::looks to Prue::

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO: Neither do I Lieutenant, but I'm not sure we have a choice right now.  But if you have an idea I'm ready to hear it.

CNS_Lux says:
::steps into the turbolift:: TL: Brig. ::taps the PADD in the palm of her other hand while the turbolift descends::

EO_Tana says:
::stops short of the door and turns:: OPS: Yes sir, if you are.

XO_Storal says:
CIV: Now I do not hold you accountable for the actions, because it was my mistake turning over the interrogation to you. You did not have the proper training; it was my error.

OPS_Marsland says:
EO: I'm with you. ::follows the EO out Sickbay::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
@::looks up at the CTO:: CTO: I can try... ::places her hands on her forehead and tries to concentrate blocking everything else out::

XO_Storal says:
SO: Launch it and notify me immediately as soon as the telemetry comes in.

CMO_Naegle says:
::hollers after them:: OPS: I hope it won’t be because you got hurt again!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::watches her intently::

OPS_Marsland says:
::hollers back:: CMO: It definitely won't be!

SO_Bern says:
XO: Will do. ::presses the bright red ‘launch’ key and sends the probe off toward its destination::

CIV_Torsian says:
XO: Might I add that at no time was the prisoner in any danger, sir.  My methodology is based on survival and successful completion of a mission, rather than diplomacy.

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles at the OPS Officer then goes back to her duties::

EO_Tana says:
::brushes off his uniform and walks with Marsland toward the lifts:: OPS: Feels good to be getting back to work, doesn't it sir?

XO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Storal to Naegle; what’s the status of Mister Marsland and Mister Tana?

OPS_Marsland says:
EO: Sure does, I really can't wait. Kind of missed my nice little console. Yourself?

XO_Storal says:
CIV: Agreed.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::rubs her head again, knowing that the lexorin is gone out of her system by now::

CNS_Lux says:
TL: Pause … change destination to Fort Apache. ::grins:: Self: I'm sure our guest is a bit hungry.

SO_Bern says:
::links his panel to the probe's sensors and waits for telemetry to come in, shifting the main sensors to the back burner::

EO_Tana says:
::shrugs a little:: OPS: Just feels good to be back to work. ::steps into the lift with Marsland:: TL: Bridge, deck one…

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::looks out the front viewport::

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: I say we just fight our way out of here.

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: They have been released for full duty, Commander.  They should be on their duty stations.

CNS_Lux says:
::steps off at deck six and asks for some taspar eggs with yomak sauce::  Waiter: And be quick about it.

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods:: XO: Is there any other duty you would like me to perform at the moment, sir.

OPS_Marsland says:
EO: It definitely does. I've missed being on the ship.

XO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Excellent doctor, can you check out Gil Suppec, in the brig?

SO_Bern says:
::sees information beginning to return from the probe:: XO: Telemetry returning from the probe, Commander.

Host Jenia_Prue says:
@::sighs deeply and slumps in her chair, shaking her head:: CTO: I can't detect her, Commander.

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO* Aye sir, on my way…

OPS_Marsland says:
::calms his nerves in the turbolift waiting to arrive at the bridge::

XO_Storal says:
CIV: Accompany Doctor Naegle to the brig and make sure the prisoner is secure.

CNS_Lux says:
::taps foot, waiting patiently, and then takes the tray when the food is ready::  Waiter: Thank you.  Have a good day...  ::looks at the food in her hand, and balances the tray in one hand, and taste tests it using her other hand::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::nods:: Prue: You did your best.

EO_Tana says:
::flexes his hand again and looks up as the lifts slows:: OPS: After you, sir.

TO_Masterson says:
%::sits in the middle of the floor and begins to meditate::

XO_Storal says:
SO: Lets have it Mister Bern, what did the probe tell us?

CMO_Naegle says:
::turns sickbay over to Doctor Karl and exits::

CIV_Torsian says:
XO: Sir, yes sir. ::clicks his heels and walks stiffly to the turbolift:: TL: Brig.

OPS_Marsland says:
EO: Thanks Ensign. ::walks onto the bridge::

CNS_Lux says:
::makes a face:: Waiter: And Cardassians call this a delicacy? ::keeps making a funny yucky face, and walks out of Fort Apache and into the turbolift again:: TL: Deck 16, main brig.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The shuttle Quicksilver goes 'feet dry' as it passes over the southernmost edge of the Piri Islands chain.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::gets up from her bunk and begins to walk around::

CEO_Yeung says:
@All: Okay, we move in then. ::advances the shuttle slowly to the center of the particle emission::

SO_Bern says:
XO: It is a basic report at best ... geologically inactive with a smooth, light colored surface. Planetary classification is class K.  No lifesigns are detected, but there appear to be a few old, abandoned, settlements.  The three scattering fields are deflecting our scans of their immediate vicinity … I don't have anything from those areas, yet.

EO_Tana says:
::follows Marsland on to the bridge and walks over to the engineering station, relieving one of the non-commissioned officers::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::watches his screen closely::

CMO_Naegle says:
::goes to the turbolift:: TL: Deck 16, Brig.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::turns to CSO:: CSO: Scan for any signs of buildings or anything not natural to the environment.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::gets a brainstorm:: CEO: Tachyon burst...

Host Jenia_Prue says:
@::grows angry, and reaches up a fist bringing it down heavily on an unused panel ... which shatters under the force throwing sparks up around her fist::

OPS_Marsland says:
::relieves Ensign Wregget from OPS::

SO_Bern says:
XO: To be perfectly honest ... I'm not expecting much of a sensor return out of those areas, either.

CIV_Torsian says:
::steps off the turbolift and waits outside the Brig for the CMO to arrive::

TO_Verall says:
::nods to the CIV in greeting::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::turns sharply around to Jenia:: Jenia: Are you all right?

XO_Storal says:
SO: I see.  Recommendation?

CNS_Lux says:
::arrives at the brig with her tray and sees the CIV:: CIV: Oh ... hello. ::grins::

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO: Take a look around this cell.  See if there's some kind of panel...

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::watches Masterson wondering what she's doing:: CO: Why is the Staff of Khrysaros so important, anyway?

SO_Bern says:
XO:  The only way we're going to get anything on those areas is to explore the situation more directly … in person, in my opinion.

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods to the TO and to the CNS:: CNS: I wasn't expecting you, may I be of some service?

CNS_Lux says:
::turns to look at Verall:: TO: If you don’t mind lowering the forcefield..?  ::looks at Suppec for the first time::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
@::gets red-faced and looks at the console:: CTO/CEO: I'm very sorry ... I was just frustrated, I didn't mean to break it.

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: Have you ever heard of Earth's Holy Grail?

XO_Storal says:
SO: I believe you’re correct.

TO_Masterson says:
%::stops meditating:: CO: Aye Captain.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks out as the turbolift opens and enters the Brig spotting the CNS and CIV:: CNS/CIV: Hello.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%CO: I serve drinks in many types of glasses in the Fort, but I have never heard of a Holy Grail.

CNS_Lux says:
CIV: I am a Counselor, Lieutenant. ::grins and gives him a slight wink::

TO_Verall says:
CNS: Of course Counselor… ::nods to Iltor to go ahead and lower the field::

EO_Tana says:
::reconfigures the Engineering console quickly and opens multiple displays with a small bank of controls::

TO_Masterson says:
%::begins examining the wall's carefully looking for a hidden panel or something::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::nods slowly, then turns to CSO:: CSO: What was it you were saying, Lieutenant?

CIV_Torsian says:
::raises both eyebrows at the two women:: CMO: Hello…  CNS: Of course, that would mean... CMO: You are the Chief Medical Officer? ::grows confused::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::chuckles:: Jax: Okay then ... the Staff of Khrysaros is belonging to a heroic leader from Betazed’s history.  It has a very deep and religious importance to our people.

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS/CIV: Commander Storal suggested I come to see about the physical well being of our guest.

OPS_Marsland says:
::checks the power distribution system, verifying that Ensign Wregget was managing it correctly::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CEO: Just an option, if it is a hologram a tachyon burst may disrupt it.

CNS_Lux says:
TO: Thank you. ::steps into the cell, and looks at Suppec:: Suppec: Greetings.  I thought you might be hungry, Gil. ::puts the tray on the table in front of him:: You like taspar eggs?  I heard all Cardassians like them ... of course, that's categorizing people...

EO_Tana says:
::brings up a sector map on the main display and a waveform analysis graph on another::

SO_Bern says:
::nods slightly:: XO:  I suppose ... I could have the probe go into a low orbit. It doesn’t have a great deal of fuel onboard, but it's worth a shot.  Especially since we've already got one team in the field.

XO_Storal says:
EO: Mister Tana, do you recollect anything from the surface of Hynozad?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%CO: But if it's only important to Betazoids ... what do the Romulans want with it?

CNS_Lux says:
::looks up at the CMO and then at the CIV and then back at Suppec::

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO/Jax: I'm starting to get edgy myself.  There has to be some way of making a transmitter to let them know where we are.  I have no doubt the Apache is looking for us now.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CSO: Can we get a visual identification at this range?

EO_Tana says:
::looks up:: XO: Sir? Is there anything specific you would like to know?

CIV_Torsian says:
::stands directly across from the cell of Suppec, arms folded bearing a hand phaser in the palm of his right hand concealed from view:: CMO: I have been informed of your purpose here.  CNS: What are you doing here?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CTO: I'll try. ::attempts a visual identification::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at the CIV strangely:: CIV: Yes, I'm Doctor Naegle.  I wasn't in sickbay when you came in for your physical.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::thinks about it:: CSO: We can use the deflector of the shuttle to produce a tachyon burst.

XO_Storal says:
SO: Agreed, the last probe we sent was destroyed.

OPS_Marsland says:
::looks at communications in the area, seeing if anything is hidden in the routine subspace traffic::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: I'd like to know that too, Ligeia.

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: Your guess is as good as mine, Jax. But whatever it is, rest assured, they wouldn't be in it for their health.

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: Captain, I hear something behind this wall.

CIV_Torsian says:
CMO: Yes of course, by all means Doctor.  It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.  You may proceed. CMO/CNS: You two ladies know each other?

SO_Bern says:
XO: Of course, there's the chance someone will see it and recognize it.  But whoever's down there obviously thinks someone's watching, anyway.  Shall I give it a go?

CNS_Lux says:
::stands up:: CIV/CMO: Because I was told to. ::doesn't really want to say the truth in front of Suppec::

XO_Storal says:
EO: I realize it’s a vague question, but anything will help.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks to the TO and makes her way over to her:: TO: What is it?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::rises, and looks down the corridor for guards before moving towards the wall::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::modifies the deflector to produce a tachyon burst::

CIV_Torsian says:
CNS: Very well Counselor, perform your duties.  I will be here to offer any assistance you may need.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods in understanding:: CNS: I understand, why don't you proceed with your visit and I'll just wait until you're done.

OPS_Marsland says:
::sees something odd on the local communication channels ... isolates it and tries to clear it up::

XO_Storal says:
SO: Yes, maybe if we get a closer look we can identify whose technology those scattering fields belong to.

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: It sounds like grunting.

SO_Bern says:
::nods sharply once:: XO: I'll report back as soon as something happens. ::turns back to his console::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::raises her eyebrows:: TO: Grunting?

EO_Tana says:
::thinks for a moment:: XO: Well sir, one of the more striking things to me was the housing on the planet.  Seemed a little out of place to me.  The architecture didn't fit those kinds of surroundings.

CNS_Lux says:
::nods to the others::  Suppec: Hello … I'm Ligeia. ::is still standing:: Suppec:  How's the food?

Host Jenia_Prue says:
@::points at what Yeung is doing:: CEO: That won't hurt anyone will it?

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: Yes Captain.

XO_Storal says:
EO: Was the construction recent?

SO_Bern says:
::sends new coordinates toward the probe, ordering it to swoop low toward Hynozad's surface amidst one of the scattering fields, then move back into orbit::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::looks at Commander Yeung::

Host Gil_Suppec says:
::eyeing the food carefully, having not touched it:: CNS: It looks very good...

CMO_Naegle says:
::whispers to the CIV::  CIV: She's trying to gauge his psychological health.

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO: But if we're... ::drifts off:: ...oh no.  ::looks to Jax:: Jax: Did you say the whispering men are like Terran gorillas?

CEO_Yeung says:
@Jenia: No, it's just enough to disrupt any local holoprograms.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CSO: Anything on visual sensors yet?

OPS_Marsland says:
*Qul*: Senior Chief, I've received a nice little communiqué that I could use some help de-garbling. Could you come to the bridge please?

CIV_Torsian says:
::turns his head and looks the CMO up and down:: CMO: I see.

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: The best explanation I can come up with for it is … like gorilla noises.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CTO: Nothing, looks like the islands … nothing more.

EO_Tana says:
::shakes head:: XO: Didn't seem so, sir. I didn't get a chance to do a proper scan of the area, but from my impression the buildings were quite old.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Mister Marsland, do you have something?

CIV_Torsian says:
::lowers his voice to a whisper:: CMO: And you are here to assess his physical health?  What a lucky guy.

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO: See if you can get the panel open.

CNS_Lux says:
Suppec: I assure you, they are not poisoned in anyway.  ::grins::  Would you like me to try some?  We can share, and I promise, I won't fall over dead.  ::picks up a taspar egg and divides it in two:: You pick which half you want.

SO_Bern says:
::hopes the probe can report back through the scattering field, just in case it doesn't make it back out::

TO_Masterson says:
% CO:  It may just be because of the wall … but I am not completely sure.

OPS_Qul says:
*Marsland*: Aye sir, I'm on my way right now. ::steps into a turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Before Jaxlt can respond, Linard's head is filled with a low grumbling like television static that repeats over and over and over. It goes on for several moments before stopping. At nearly the same time, a pounding starts on the other side of the wall and, when it ceases, the wall crumbles to the ground.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::fires a short tachyon burst from the deflector::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::shakes her head trying to clear her mind::

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles at the Marine:: CIV: He sure is.

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: Yes sir, I have what I think might be a hidden transmission. I'm calling up my communications specialist to help me make some sense out of it.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::watches the wall crumble:: TO/Jax: Oh my...

XO_Storal says:
EO: I wish we could have gotten an in depth scan of the area. Work with Mister Bern on it. Two heads are better than one, after all.

TO_Masterson says:
%::stands in front of the captain and Jaxlt::

Host Gil_Suppec says:
::picks up both halves and stuffs them in his mouth:: CNS: It's very good...

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::moves in front of the Captain:: CO: It could be a trap...

CIV_Torsian says:
::takes a deep breath and looks back at the CNS whilst still whispering to the CMO:: CMO: Perhaps she shouldn't be so open.

EO_Tana says:
::nods:: XO: Aye sir.

OPS_Marsland says:
::looks down at the recorded transmission again, and tries applying a high band filter to it to remove some of the electromagnetic interference::

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Very well, use whatever resources are necessary.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::tries to get in front of them and nudges her way through:: Jax: It's possible ... but I don't think so.

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir, I'm on it.

SO_Bern says:
::waits ... should've gotten something by now, wonders whether this probe met the same fate as the last::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the three of them stand there, the wall ends up in a heap revealing lush jungle beyond. A large animal, looking much like a Terran gorilla, briefly fills the hole that has been created, but backs away after taking a look at the three people in the cell.

CMO_Naegle says:
CIV: She's like that … but she's very good at what she does.

EO_Tana says:
::looks at his displays, and then looks over at Science:: SO: Ensign Bern?

CNS_Lux says:
::grins:: Suppec: I'm glad you like them.  Here, have another one. ::hands him the plate:: Suppec: I bet your mom makes good Cardassian cuisine ... and I bet your Uncle Dorchel likes them too, eh?

CEO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Any result from the tachyon burst, Lieutenant?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CEO: Scanning.

XO_Storal says:
COM: CEO: Apache to Yeung; what’s your status Commander?

TO_Masterson says:
%CO: Captain?

CIV_Torsian says:
CMO: I see... ::raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::feels a little nervous remembering the warnings, whispers:: TO/Jax:  It's one of them... ::takes a step towards it::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the tachyon burst strikes the photonic particles, a large expanse of jungle under the shuttlecraft wavers briefly, then falls away to reveal several dozen small vessels and a series of small buildings. Three of the craft begin to power engines, as they prepare to take off from the planet's surface.

SO_Bern says:
::blinks several times, and turns to the man who addressed him:: EO: Umm ... Lieutenant, Junior Grade. ::adjusts his collar slightly and stands up straight:: EO: Can I help you?

OPS_Qul says:
::walks onto the bridge and over to the OPS Console:: OPS: Have you applied all the filters, you think?

OPS_Marsland says:
Qul: Yes, but what do you think of this encryption?

CEO_Yeung says:
@COM: XO: We've entered the area of photonic particles. We set off a small tachyon burst and ... whoa…!

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CEO: Craft, dead ahead!

Host Gil_Suppec says:
::shrugs and continues to stuff his face:: CNS: My mother has been dead for a long time. Uncle Dorchel is my only family...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: Sir, I have several small vessels on sensors.  Three of them are powering engines and are preparing for takeoff.

CMO_Naegle says:
CIV: Trust us, Lieutenant … we’re professionals.

EO_Tana says:
::mentally kicks himself for the faux pas:: SO: Sorry sir … but I really need to know if I can help you, Lieutenant.

CIV_Torsian says:
CMO: I am sure his physical health is of no consequence Doctor, I did not harm him … I assure you.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::keeps her voice low:: Jax: Have you ever made contact with one of them before.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Whispering Man, backs away from Linard's hand ... then turns and rushes off into the Jungle disappearing quickly from sight.

XO_Storal says:
COM: Apache: What is it Jon?

CNS_Lux says:
Suppec: Did he raise you then?  He must be very proud of you, eh?

CEO_Yeung says:
@::pilots the shuttle away from the other ships::

TO_Masterson says:
%::follows the Captain, watching everything around them carefully::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::curses under her breath::

CEO_Yeung says:
@COM: XO: Tachyon burst worked, Commander.  The hologram dropped, and we saw several dozen vessels on the surface; three just took off.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Three vessels lift off from the surface and immediately give chase to the shuttlecraft as it pulls away from the area. Each is the size of a large runabout.

SO_Bern says:
::shakes his head and shows a half smile:: EO: It's all right, really.  If you wanted to help, I'm not really sure what you could do... ::stands aside slightly to allow him a look at the readings::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::hurries to the hole the gorilla created:: CO: We should follow him...

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks at the crumbled wall then to Jax and the TO:: TO/Jax: Come on...

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@All: We're outnumbered and outgunned.

XO_Storal says:
COM: CEO: Do you require assistance?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: The three vessels are on an intercept course, and are powering their weapons.

SO_Bern says:
EO: However, you might have a better idea on how to get by those scattering fields.  ::points to the Hynozad sweep::

CNS_Lux says:
Suppec: If you got the Staff for him, he'll be extremely pleased.  Would you know why he would want the staff?

CEO_Yeung says:
@::pilots towards space at full speed::

TO_Masterson says:
%::follows the Captain::

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: Didn't you say it was dangerous for a Betazoid to contact them telepathically?

Host Jenia_Prue says:
@::hangs onto the arms of her chair as the ship moves back and forth under her as it takes evasive action::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: They’re firing! Structural Integrity at 75%!

CMO_Naegle says:
CIV: Well then, let's let Counselor Lux help him psychologically.

OPS_Qul says:
Marsland: Hmm ... try this algorithm. ::applies the algorithm::

EO_Tana says:
::stands a comfortable distance away from Bern and looks down at the screens, trying to guess at the science being used:: SO: Have you tried an inverse field?

CEO_Yeung says:
@COM: XO: The ships are giving chase! We definitely need some help out here.

XO_Storal says:
*CIV*: Scramble your fighters and assist the away team. They are being pursued by unfriendlies.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::tries to evade the attacks::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: I've identified the vessels, Jon … they’re Breen!

OPS_Marsland says:
::looks at the console to see if there's any improvement::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::nods and grabs Linard, pushing her through the hole:: CO: That was my understanding...

Host CO_Linard says:
%::follows the trail the whispering man leaves through the jungle::

CIV_Torsian says:
::his ears burn with the call of the communiqué from the bridge:: CMO/CNS: Excuse me. *XO*: Aye sir, on my way! *Marines*: All marines report to shuttlebay for immediate departure.

SO_Bern says:
EO:  Well, not yet ... this isn't exactly my specialty. Though I guess that was rather obvious. ::blinks rapidly, thinking::  EO: Feel free. ::motions to the panel::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::transmits Quicksilver's coordinates to Apache:: COM: XO: Here are our coordinates and course, the ships are Breen!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The three Breen vessels give chase firing weapons at the shuttlecraft as it heads towards the atmospheric boundary.

XO_Storal says:
COM: CEO: Jon, Lieutenant Torsian and his squad are on their way.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods to the CIV::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::hears Cha`Dak:: All: Romulan ... Cardassian ... Breen ... this staff must really be something.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::fights her way through the thick vegetation::

CIV_Torsian says:
::bolts out the door tearing off his uniform as he runs into a turbolift:: *FDO_Marshal*: Prepare all three Kaneda Fighters for immediate deployment!

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: How's the patient?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Captain, Jaxlt, and Masterson move out into the thick foliage they look back to see that they were being held in some kind of planetary facility.

SGT_Denson says:
*CIV*: We're on our way gunny!

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: He seems hungry...  ::waves her in::

Host FDO_Marshal says:
*CIV*: Aye sir, they are standing by on ready alert.

CEO_Yeung says:
@CTO: Return fire with the aft phasers!

XO_Storal says:
Trient: Lock on to one of those fighters and fire phasers.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::watches his readings, mumbling:: Self: Cardassian ... Romulan ... Breen ... oh my.

TO_Masterson says:
%::watches her surroundings waiting for anything that may happen::

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax/TO: Well, I'm not sure those assumptions were right, my friend...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: Aye sir. ::fires aft phasers at the lead Breen vessel::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks into the cell, medkit in hand::

EO_Tana says:
SO: My pleasure, sir. ::takes readings of the scattering field and starts configuring one of the ventral gravitational and EM emitters:: SO: Sir, could you apply the sine/cosine element to the wave? It might take a few tries to get the frequency right.

CIV_Torsian says:
::heads out of the turbolift and grabs a flight suit from one of the Shuttlebay Operators putting it on and jumping into the pilot seat of his fighter::

TO_Trient says:
XO: No sir … the shuttlecraft Quicksilver is to close to the other vessels.  I might hit them by accident.

CNS_Lux says:
::waits as Suppec continues to eat::  Suppec: And if you had the staff in your hand right now ... where would you go to give it to your uncle?

PFC_Guller says:
*CIV*: Reporting all marines are on their way gunny, they will be there momentarily, we're waiting on Mackerby and you're team is green for go.

Host Gil_Suppec says:
::thinks about it:: CNS: It has something to do with his brain ... he's very smart you know. But he says that the Staff will make him smarter, and make it possible for him to learn what other smart people know. ::eats some more::

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax/TO: I didn't get anything too complicated from him ... of course, then again I was never the same after my incident with Hershey.

PFC_Mackerby says:
::hops into the gunner co-pilot seat of the fighter with Torsian and closes the hatch::

SO_Bern says:
EO: Uhh, just a minute... ::slides by to science two:: XO: Ah, Commander ... there's something around twenty-five Breen vessels flying around inside Betazed's atmosphere.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::continues to make evasive maneuvers::

XO_Storal says:
SO: Say what?!

TO_Masterson says:
%CO: If I may, Captain … what now?

CIV_Torsian says:
*XO*: Torsian to the bridge, we are ready to go … request flight clearance.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks to the TO and Jax:: TO/Jax: Let's go...

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::looks to see if there is overcast weather::

CNS_Lux says:
::raises her right eyebrow slightly, and then glances over at Doctor Naegle, but doesn't comment.  Not yet anyways::  Suppec: And if you have the staff right now, where will you go to give it to him?

CMO_Naegle says:
::slowly brings out her medical tricorder, unsure of how the Cardassian will react to it::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: Commander, I have a feeling the Captain may have been under that dampening field. We should return and rescue them.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::hurries after the Captain, looking every which way for danger::

SO_Bern says:
XO:  I said, there's something around twenty-five Breen vessels flying around inside Betazed's atmosphere! ::blinks a few times, probably should've prefaced that with something else::

EO_Tana says:
::looks up in surprise at Bern's announcement:: Self: Ah, shad... ::moves back to his own console and brings up the readings::

CIV_Torsian says:
*Denson*: Take my right wing. *Burn*: Take my left wing.  Mackerby: Are you ready soldier?

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO/Jax: I want to get as far away as possible ... and I want to see which way he went.

TO_Masterson says:
%::follows behind the two making sure to be aware of her surroundings::

PFC_Mackerby says:
CIV: Ready as I'll ever be, sir.

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: Sir, the transmission I received earlier turned out to be Breen. It was some worker discussing supplies they needed for the excavation of the surface.

SGT_Denson says:
*CIV*: Aye gunny!

Host Gil_Suppec says:
CNS: Oh, I don't have the Staff ... he's looking for it. I upset him; I dropped a miner's laser and almost collapsed a tunnel. He sent me out scouting ... that's when I found your shuttle.

CPL_Burn says:
*CIV*: Aye gunny, we'll follow your lead.

XO_Storal says:
*CIV*: Launch when ready, there are 25 Breen vessels in Betazed airspace. Give the Away Team cover fire and escort them back.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::takes a sharp turn:: CTO: We need to get these Breen ships of our tail first...

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: Wherever you want to go, Captain.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Captain and her away team hear rustling ahead and, briefly, spot the gorilla before he turns and takes off again.

OPS_Marsland says:
Qul: Thanks for the help, Senior Chief. I'll let you know if I need any more. ::turns back to the console::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::holds onto something::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks up to Suppec while he's eating and speaks softly:: Suppec: Hello, I'm Doctor Naegle.

CEO_Yeung says:
@All: Don't worry team, they didn't name her the Quicksilver for nothing.

CIV_Torsian says:
*XO*: Roger, Torsian out. Opening shuttle bay doors... ::engages thrusters::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: Try venting the plasma folds. We may be able to ignite the venting gases behind us.

OPS_Qul says:
::leaves the bridge and back to his quarters::

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO/Jax: If we can get far enough away from that facility, the Apache may be able to detect us.

CNS_Lux says:
::thinks about it:: Suppec: Did your uncle tell you when he'll come and pick you up then?  And when?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Breen ships begin to take off from the surface, Federation vessels of the tenth fleet begin to poor out of the orbital facility in response to the Breen presence. The three craft chasing the shuttlecraft immediately peel away.

CEO_Yeung says:
@CTO: Right, venting plasma. ::vents plasma::

CNS_Lux says:
::smiles sweetly::  Suppec: Obviously, he wouldn't leave you behind for too long.

XO_Storal says:
COM: CEO: Jon get your tail back here. There are 25 ships in your area. The marines will provide escort.

Host Gil_Suppec says:
CNS: Oh sure he would...

CIV_Torsian says:
#COM: CEO: Torsian to Away Team, we're on our way.  What is your situation? ::lays in a course and engages maximum engines to their coordinates::

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: So we are going to continue following that thing?

CMO_Naegle says:
::runs a medical tricorder over Suppec, just in case the CIV inadvertently hurt him::

Host Gil_Suppec says:
::shivers:: CNS: After all, he left me in New Zealand for ten months...

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Notify the orbital facility of the situation.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::checks his sensor boards:: COM: CIV: The ships that were chasing us just took off. We're in the clear for now.

EO_Tana says:
::checks the shield settings, running level-5 tests on them as they oscillate around the ship:: OPS: Sir, how much power do we have to devote to shields?

Host CO_Linard says:
%::nods to the gorilla:: TO/Jax: I'm wondering if he's trying to get us to follow him.

SO_Bern says:
XO:  It looks like the orbital facility is already on it, sir.  Ships have dropped into orbit already and are preparing to give chase.  The Breen have broken off.

CNS_Lux says:
Suppec: But you guys reunited eventually, right?  So, he must have told you when and where he'll pick you up from the planet that you were scouting for the staff.

CEO_Yeung says:
@COM: CIV: We're heading back down to the planet. We could use an escort.

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir. ::contacts the orbital facility, notifying them of our presence and that of the marines and the shuttle::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: The Breen have given up the chase and tucked tail like the cowards they are!

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: Captain ... I don't mean to question you but are you sure following this thing is such a good idea?

XO_Storal says:
SO: Where did they come from?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::moves ahead of her to get a better look:: CO: If he is, we should stop following him...

CIV_Torsian says:
#COM: CEO: Acknowledged, we'll cover you. ::drops his Kaneda class fighter into formation around the shuttlecraft Quicksilver::

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO/Jax: Explain...

CEO_Yeung says:
@::sets course to where they fired off their deflector on Betazed::

SO_Bern says:
XO:  The orbital facility ,sir. The tenth fleet's stationed there. ::nods::

Host Gil_Suppec says:
::looks sad:: CNS: I was supposed to return to site three several hours ago ... he's probably moved on by now.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%CO: I have no interest in walking into a trap...

XO_Storal says:
::chuckles:: SO:I was referring to the Breen, Mister Bern.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::begins to scan for the Captain and the others::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::feels quite proud that his single phaser fire shot scared off three Breen vessels::

Host CO_Linard says:
% Jax: What makes you think he's trying to trap us?

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks surprised at what she sees on her tricorder:: CNS: Counselor, I need to speak to you in private for a minute.

CIV_Torsian says:
#::takes the lead of the shuttlecraft as Burn takes the starboard and Denson the port wing of the shuttle::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::realizes belatedly that he can't take all the credit::

CNS_Lux says:
::raises her eyebrows::  Suppec: We've only picked you up less than an hour ago.  Why didn't you meet him at the designated coordinates several hours ago, before you discovered our shuttle?

Host Gil_Suppec says:
::looks even sadder:: CNS: I got lost…

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%CO: You said he might be trying to get us to follow him ... what other reason would he have for that other than to trap us.

CEO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Any sign of them?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CEO: Nothing so far, sir.

EO_Tana says:
::realizes Marsland is busy and does the checks himself, bringing the backup generators up to standby mode to warm up just in case::

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: Are you sure following this Gorilla is such a good idea?  I am just concerned with your safety, Captain.

XO_Storal says:
SO: It’s all right, Mister Bern.  I should be more specific in my inquiry.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Any thing on that hidden signal?

CIV_Torsian says:
#::checks his engines and weapons as he tries to match the Shuttles course and speed::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The ships that rallied from the orbital facility take off in every which direction after the Breen craft that bugged out. Very shortly both the Breen and the Federation vessels are only seen on long-range sensors.

SO_Bern says:
::only nods meekly, turning back to his panel::

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: Sir, the transmission I received earlier turned out to be Breen.  It was some worker discussing supplies they need for excavation on the surface of Betazed.

Host CO_Linard says:
% Jax: According to the maps, the staff may be located around here. If it is, he might know of the location.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Can you triangulate the origin of the signal?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::grumbles something unintelligible::

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: I don’t need to, sir … it came from the Breen launch point on the surface.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::stops and looks at Jax:: Jax: What was that?

CEO_Yeung says:
@::does a fly-by over the previously hidden base::

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Good. ::strokes his goatee::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::forges ahead:: CO: Nothing...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: It seems the Breen won't be bothering us soon.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::nods at CTO::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::continues to scan, focusing around the islands the field originated from::

CIV_Torsian says:
#COM: CEO: What are we looking for?

CNS_Lux says:
::scrambles her brain::  Suppec: Did your uncle say where he was going when he dropped you off at the planet?

TO_Masterson says:
% CO: Hopefully we find some weapons … or a way to contact the Apache soon.

CEO_Yeung says:
@COM: CIV: We believe that the Captain and the others were taken to this place.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::smirks:: Jax: Didn't your mother ever teach you that muttering is rude?

EO_Tana says:
::satisfied with the shields, returns to reconfiguring the emitters and focusing them on them on Hynozad::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Marines do a fly-by over the abandoned base it is clear that the Breen were here for some time. Now, the place is completely abandoned and the remains of a quick departure are strewn about the area.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@ Jenia_Prue: Miss Prue, would the dampening field have affected your ability to communicate with Captain Linard?

SO_Bern says:
EO: I guess that's over with... ::sighs slightly and works a few calculations on his panel:: EO: Can you assist me in getting back to this difficulty with Hynozad?  I think the computer and I might've come up with a few choices that could work for the settings on that wave.

Host Jenia_Prue says:
@CTO: Only if she was there...

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO: Out here in the jungle? Maybe we can find a vine to use as a snare..

CIV_Torsian says:
#COM: CEO: The sensors on these fighters aren't very accurate, but if we tie all of ours together, perhaps we can improve sensor resolution. ::maintains speed and distance to the shuttle::

Host Gil_Suppec says:
CNS: Back to site three...

TO_Masterson says:
% CO:  You never know, Captain.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Before Jaxlt can respond, he comes to a dead stop as the Whispering Man they'd been chasing appears directly in front of them seemingly out of thin air.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@ Jenia_Prue: Perhaps you might... ::pauses for effect:: ...try again?

CNS_Lux says:
Suppec: And where and what is Site 3?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@All: They are not here; the base has been abandoned. ::sighs::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::nods and closes her eyes trying to concentrate on the Captain::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::comes to a complete stop::

TO_Masterson says:
%::looks at the whispering man::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks around as if hearing someone talk to her::

CEO_Yeung says:
@COM: CIV: Right, let's do that. ::begins tying in sensors with the Marine fighters::

Host Gil_Suppec says:
CNS: It's the mining site that my Uncle is at ... it's where he's looking for the Staff of Khrysaros.

CNS_Lux says:
::turns to the CMO:: CMO: Other than a rather over stuffed belly, our guest is fit yes?

EO_Tana says:
::nods:: SO: Of course, sir. I've got the EM generators and the graviton emitters configured. Right now it's just trial and error to open up a proper 'window' in the scattering effect.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Hmm … try and use sensors to get a better look.

CNS_Lux says:
Suppec: Where is this mining site?  If we show you a map, can you pinpoint the location?

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Yes, he is.  But I need to confer with you for a moment, please.

CIV_Torsian says:
#COM: CEO: Roger. ::turns to his sensors and ties in control to the shuttle while leaving 10% for scanning for inbound enemy aircraft::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Captain, TO, and Jaxlt come to a stop, Linard's head is again filled with the dull roar of static. Slowly it increases as another gorilla appears behind them ... then another off to the side ... and another off to the other side. Slowly it builds to a crescendo until even Jenia Prue can hear it. Then it stops suddenly.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks at the gorilla’s carefully::

PFC_Mackerby says:
::signals all the other fighters to do the same and monitors for enemy vessels::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CSO/CEO: Surely the Captain would respond if she were able. Why does she not answer?

SO_Bern says:
EO:  Yes ... here, try these.  We can go from there. ::sends a few different combinations for the sine/cosine setting for that emitter to Tana's panel::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
@::sitting in her chair, her face gets scrunched up and she starts to grunt and groan ... then her eyes go wide and she screams out before collapsing back into her chair and passing out::

TO_Masterson says:
%CO: Captain ... I think we have a problem.

CNS_Lux says:
::wishes she was a telepath::  CMO: Perhaps after... ::tilts her head slightly towards Suppec, as if to say ‘after we finish talking to him’::

CEO_Yeung says:
@CTO:/CSO: I hope nothing is wrong with them...

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::shakes his head:: CTO: I do not know...

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::picks up a large stick and waves it at the nearest gorilla in a threatening manner::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@All: Miss Prue!

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks to the gorillas:: TO: Why?

CEO_Yeung says:
@::turns back to Jenia upon hearing the scream:: Aloud: Prue!

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Sure, but this will help you as well as me treat him.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::turns quickly around, going to Jenia, scanning her with a tricorder::

SO_Bern says:
::focuses sensors on the scattering fields, so that the wave may be adjusted as finely as possible once the initial effects are seen::

TO_Masterson says:
%::grabs Jaxlt's stick and takes it from him:: Jaxlt: Are you crazy?

Host CO_Linard says:
%::winces slightly at the banter in her head, then sees Jax:: Jax: Wait!

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::growls at Masterson::

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: They're probably just as curious about us as we are of them...

EO_Tana says:
::nods at Bern and brings up the joint sensor focus, running them with the chosen elements as he studies the result as well:: SO: No effect yet.

TO_Masterson says:
% Jaxlt: They haven't done anything yet, don't provoke them!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Masterson is concentrating on Jaxlt ... a gorilla dangles down from his feet right in front of her and yanks the stick out of her hands before climbing back up his vine into the canopy above them.

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO/Jax: Both of you ... please!  We don't want to provoke them!

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@All: She's unconscious.

CNS_Lux says:
::glances over at Suppec::  Suppec: I'll go get a map of Hynozad ... and you can show us. ::smiles again, and walks over to the far corner of the brig, signaling the CMO::  CMO: Yes?

TO_Masterson says:
%::looks up at the gorilla not impressed::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@All: Her vitals appear to be stable, though.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Notify the orbital facility of the bases presence and have them send a team to investigate.

CIV_Torsian says:
#::looks out the windows of his fighter and looks down on the planet below:: Self: Where are they...? ::then looks through the other windows searching with his eyes for any enemy vessels::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO/CSO: What could have caused it?

Host Gil_Suppec says:
::nods:: CNS: Sure ... could I get something to drink too?

SO_Bern says:
EO: I see ... we'll have to change things up entirely.  Maybe add a bit more juice to the wave.  We are a fair distance away... ::starts to prepare some more combinations, based on the lack of effect so far::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::remembers what Jenia said about this area:: CTO/CSO: The Whispering Men, maybe?

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks up at the gorilla then at the TO:: TO: See? Even he wants you to put it away!

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@All: If I had to guess, some kind of telepathic trauma. Just a guess, though…

OPS_Marsland says:
::sends along the XO's message to the facility::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@CEO: Religious rubbish, all that talk of Whispering Men. You don't believe it do you, Jon?

EO_Tana says:
::sighs a little:: SO: This would be a lot easier if the dish wasn't pointed in the wrong direction.

CNS_Lux says:
::nods and grins again:: Suppec: Sure thing. What would you like to drink?  ::turns her attention to the CMO::

TO_Masterson says:
% CO:  I took it from him so... ::controls herself and looks back at the gorilla::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::thinks peaceful thoughts ... hoping the creatures will pick up on it::

SO_Bern says:
::compensates for atmospheric refraction of the wave::  EO: True... ::sighs a little also:: ...the aft deflector isn't the big dish, that's for certain.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CTO: Many things are unexplained in the galaxy by science, which leaves the spiritual.

CIV_Torsian says:
#COM: XO: Commander, we are escorting the shuttle along a scanning route of the planet.  Have you had any success finding the Captain?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Whispering Men all sit in a rough circle around Jaxlt, Linard, and Masterson staring at the members of the away team in utter silence. Linard can feel her mind being ever so gently probed and, if not for the sensitivity of her mind due to its recent damage, she probably wouldn't notice at all.

CMO_Naegle says:
::speaking softly:: CNS: Suppec has an implant in his brain.  It makes him childlike and easier to control.  Haven't you noticed how childlike his answers are?

CEO_Yeung says:
@CTO: Hey, there's a planet full of people who can read minds. I think there's not a lot of stuff I wouldn't believe in.

XO_Storal says:
COM: CIV: Nothing yet, Lieutenant.

CNS_Lux says:
::calls for Verall:: Verall: Get someone to find a map of the mining tunnels on Hynozad.

CEO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Any lifeforms? Anything?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@::goes back to scanning for any lifeforms on the islands::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::smiles and whispers:: TO/Jax: They're reading my mind...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
@::makes a mental note to remind Lieutenant Nightcloud of the chain of command::

TO_Masterson says:
%::looks around her at all the gorillas thinking of what's gonna happen next::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the group sits, watching the away team, more gorillas appear in the foliage around them. Babies play with each other while mothers nurse. Slowly, an entire civilization begins to unfold before the eyes of the away team as more and more of the gorillas appear out of the jungle.

CIV_Torsian says:
#COM: XO: Very well, we will report anything we find.

CNS_Lux says:
::raises her eyebrows:: CMO: Yes I have.  I thought it was a mental disability or something.  Do you think his uncle had it implanted to control him?

EO_Tana says:
::thinks:: SO: Maybe if we sent the field in pulses, increasing the rate exponentially, we'll be able to punch through even from this far away?

XO_Storal says:
COM: CIV: Acknowledged.

TO_Masterson says:
%CO: Can you figure out what's going on then?

Host CO_Linard says:
%::shakes her head:: TO: My telepathy is limited ... long story.  But they are curious...

CSO_Nightcloud says:
@CEO: Picking up thousands of lifeforms, no humans, Klingons, or Brikars.

CIV_Torsian says:
#COM: CEO: Why aren't we having any luck finding the Captain?  Or are you? ::cuts back on fuel consumption and activates a single reactor to maintain speed::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Could be.  I have a feeling also, that if we try to make him do something he doesn't want to, he might throw a temper tantrum.

Host CO_Linard says:
%TO/Jax: Sit down...
