Star Trek: Apache - Episode #21
Week #6
Mission: "The Hero Khrysaros"

Host Jafo says:
At the moment Captain Linard, Lieutenant Masterson, and Jaxlt Burta remain in the protection of the Whispering Men on the surface of Betazed. On the Apache, the crew continues to investigate the planetoid Hynozad and the Cardassian interest in its mines.

Host Jafo says:
Using a Type 9 Shuttle, the Quicksilver, Commander Yeung's away team generated a tachyon burst on Betazed, which knocked out a holographic projection system that was masking a Breen base of operations. The Breen ships scrambled, but elements of Starfleet's Tenth Fleet gave pursuit.

Host Jafo says:
Having returned to the Apache empty-handed, Commander Yeung and the others are trying to come up with an alternate method for finding the Captain while other members of the crew have discovered a way to bring down the Cardassian scattering fields on Hynozad.

CIV_Torsian says:
::in the shuttlebay watching as one of the fighters pulls in::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Report, Mister Marsland?

CNS_Lux says:
Joyce: Joyce, you know ... we need a fish tank in here.  According to humans, they are supposed to be very therapeutic.

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: Judging from the shuttle's scans, we didn't pick up any Romulan shuttle in the Breen base.

FCO_Terman says:
::in the turbolift:: Self: This is going very slowly... ::has waited in it since the beginning of last mission::

CNS_Lux says:
::gets up:: Joyce: I need to go see Doctor Naegle, I'll see you and Mister Vax later.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::opens her eyes and blinks as she slowly sits up and looks around, pulls the fur blanket around her::

OPS_Marsland says:
CTO: Nothing new, sir.  Still searching for other hidden transmissions.

EO_Tana says:
::tugs his uniform jacket properly into place and smoothes it before stepping out of the lift and onto the bridge::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
Computer: Computer location of Jenia Prue?

CPL_Burn says:
::opens the hatch and steps out:: CIV: Morning Gunny.

CNS_Lux says:
::starts out of her office, and gets stopped by Thomas Hawkins, the Morale Officer::  Thomas: Can this wait?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::stirs next to Linard and slowly wakes up::

FCO_Terman says:
::turbolift opens to the bridge and Jordan walks out::

SO_Bern says:
::drags himself off his bed onto the floor, then inches toward the stand to mute that dratted alarm::

XO_Storal says:
::nods at the CEO while going over a PADD:: CEO: Do you think the Captain is down there Jon?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Try hailing the Captain again, Lieutenant.

MRL_Hawkins says:
CNS: I guess … I just had this idea about how to boost morale that I wanted to run by you.  You know, with the Captain missing and all, morale has been pretty down.  Even Jax's friendly face isn't in the lounge anymore.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Jenia Prue is in sickbay.

CIV_Torsian says:
CPL: Morning Mister Burn, find anything? ::shakes the Marine's hand::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::heads to Sickbay::

CEO_Yeung says:
::leans back in his seat:: XO: I believe so … though we never did see where that shuttle landed.

OPS_Marsland says:
CTO: Aye sir. ::sends out a hail for Captain Linard on all frequencies::

CNS_Lux says:
::grins at Thomas' description of Jax::  Thomas: Yes?

EO_Tana says:
::relieves the Gamma Shift bridge engineer and takes over Engineering One, logging himself in::

MO_Powers says:
::puts medical equipment back where it lives::

MRL_Hawkins says:
CNS: Well, I was thinking we can you know ... get together and have food and drinks and talk about our memories of them … and stuff.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks over at Jax and groans groggily, wiping her eyes at the bad nights sleep she had::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::growls:: Self: This is getting annoying.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Captain, Jaxlt, and Lieutenant Masterson begin to awake they find that the Whispering Men civilization around them is already in full swing.

XO_Storal says:
CEO: Did you try and scan for their combadges? ::holds up his hands after he asks the question:: CEO: I know, stupid question. ::grins::

CNS_Lux says:
::raises her eyebrows:: Thomas: That sounds more like a memorial service than a celebration.  I don't think that'll help … try again. ::smiles more friendly now:: MRL: I really have to go, excuse me.

CMO_Naegle says:
MO: John, have you had a chance to look over my data from the implant inside Gil Suppec's brain?

CNS_Lux says:
::quickly leaves her office and heads down the corridor, and turns into sickbay, which is 4 doors down::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks up at the trees around them watching the swarming activity above their heads:: Jax: Early Birds aren't they?

CPL_Burn says:
CIV: No sir Bunny, tried hard though.

EO_Tana says:
::brings up the equipment readouts, encouraged by the positive tests, then looks around for Bern, not seeing him on the bridge:: *SO*: Tana to Lieutenant Bern...

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::grumbles something as he rises::

SO_Bern says:
::slaps his face lightly a few times, as he can't quite force open his eyelids yet::

CIV_Torsian says:
CPL: That's all right; you'll get another chance. Right now, head for bed … your shift starts in eight hours.

FCO_Terman says:
::heads over to Conn and relieves Kwenisa, ready to finally begin his shift::

MO_Powers says:
CMO: Not yet. I haven't found time because of the away mission and normal duties. I'll have a look at it now sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*SO*: Mister Bern, report!

Host CO_Linard says:
%::feels another headache coming on:: Self: Lovely...

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::walks into Sickbay::

OPS_Marsland says:
CTO: No response from the Captain, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
::walks over to the doctors:: CMO/MO: Greetings Doctor’s.

SO_Bern says:
::moans ... digs around in his sheets and pulls out his combadge::  Self: For crying out loud...

CMO_Naegle says:
MO: All right, that will be fine.  I guess you did just get back.

CEO_Yeung says:
::gives a small smile, then shifts in his seat:: XO: I've got a feeling you'd rather be down there looking for her instead of here.

CPL_Burn says:
::nods and heads off to the turbolift:: CIV: Aye sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
OPS: Keep trying, Lieutenant. I know they're down there somewhere.

CNS_Lux says:
::turns her head at the sound of the sickbay's door opening::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS: Hello Ligeia, how are you this morning?

MO_Powers says:
CMO: Yes sir.

OPS_Marsland says:
CTO: Aye sir, I'll keep at it.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Linard feels a wisp of menacing thought approaching which alarms her. At almost the same instant a Gorilla somewhere nearby begins beating his chest and grunting as the other Gorilla's begin to scurry about.

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks up to see the CSO coming in::

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: We'll find her, Ky … safe and sound.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::walks over to Jenia Prue:: Jenia: How do you feel?

CNS_Lux says:
CMO: I was wondering if you can remove the implant in Suppec's brain.

SO_Bern says:
*CTO*: Yes sir, I'm on my way... ::taps the badge twice:: *EO*: Bern to Tana ... I'm here.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks about quickly as if looking for immediate danger::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::holding her head:: CSO: I'll be all right, Lieutenant...

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods to the MO to get started::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::nods::

XO_Storal says:
::chuckles:: CEO: You know me to well, Jon. ::strokes his goatee:: Did you try scanning for Brikar lifesigns ... shouldn’t be as difficult to isolate from the rest of the populace?

CIV_Torsian says:
::takes his seat in the bucket chair of the fighter as the shuttle bay crew scramble to refuel her:: *Adonica*: Please report to the shuttle bay for immediate departure.

MO_Powers says:
::finds the PADD with the data on it under a load of other PADD’s piled on his desk and looks through it::

CMO_Naegle says:
CNS:  Probably, why do you ask?

EO_Tana says:
::lightly taps the initiation sequences:: *SO*: Sir, we're almost ready to begin full-sequence scanning of Hynozad. Where are you, sir?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::rises:: CO: Something sure has spooked them...

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: We better take cover ... there's something here. :: gets to her feet quickly::

FCO_Terman says:
::goes about his run-of-the-mill, completely ordinary, nothing unusual, chores::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans for any sign of pursuit from either the Breen or Cardassians ... or Romulans for that matter::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::shakes her head:: Jax: And from what I'm sensing ... it's pretty menacing.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
Jenia: When you feel up to it, we need to look over the map.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As they begin to move for cover, a Romulan bursts out of the jungle into the clearing ... followed by another, and another, and another. Each is armed and reacts in surprise as they see the Captain and Jaxlt.

SO_Bern says:
::walks over to the replicator:: Computer: One glass of ice water. *EO*: I'm ... well, I just got finished getting things in order in my quarters. I guess I lost track of time. ::shrugs::

CNS_Lux says:
::tugs on her hair, a nervous habit:: CMO: I'm wondering ... if that implant can also double as a tracking device.  And, if so, it could lead Glinn Dorchel right to us.

CEO_Yeung says:
::sighs:: XO: We tried, but nothing so far. It’s a big planet.

SO_Burrows says:
*CIV*: On my way, Gunnery Sergeant.

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: Run!

EO_Tana says:
::pauses:: *SO*: Understood, sir. We'll be ready to begin as soon as you're on the bridge. Is there anything you would like me to do in the meantime?

SO_Bern says:
::removes the glass of water from the replicator, and splashes it on his face::  Self:  Yeah, I'll be all right. ::goes to his duffel for a fresh jacket and tunic, so as to be halfway presentable::

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: Maybe there's a dampening field around them. We could try to scan the surface of the planet and see if we pick up any areas blocked from the scan.

CNS_Lux says:
::looks at her:: CMO: Do you think that's possible?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::turns and begins to run::

SO_Bern says:
*EO*: Nothing I can think of. ::clears his throat::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::shoves Jax and the TO into the thicket as she dashes behind them, using the forest cover::

OPS_Marsland says:
::runs sensor scans of the surface looking for human life signs::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Romulans level their disruptors and begin to fire at the Captain and others as they run away.

XO_Storal says:
CEO: You may have something their, Jon. Get on it.

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods and begins a diagnostic of all systems:: *Adonica*: Hurry up.

CMO_Naegle says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CNS: Could be, let's go check the data ourselves in my office.

SO_Burrows says:
::walks into the shuttlebay and takes her seat in the fighter:: CIV: I believe I said I was on my way, Lieutenant.

EO_Tana says:
*SO*: Very good, Lieutenant. See you on the bridge, Tana out. ::taps the blue communications button to close the channel and returns to aligning the aft sensor grids::

MO_Powers says:
CMO: Interesting. I've never seen anything like it.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::is hit by disruptor fire and falls to the ground, already weakened by his earlier encounter with the Romulan guards::

Host CO_Linard says:
%:;ducks as the array of blasters whips over their heads but keeps running::

XO_Storal says:
*EO/SO*: Any progress on those scattering fields, gentleman?

SO_Bern says:
::calls out::  Computer:  Another ice water.  ::quickly steps out of the uniform he fell asleep in, and dons his change of clothes::

CMO_Naegle says:
MO: Recommendations, Doctor Powers?

MO_Powers says:
CMO: Recommendations … on what, sir?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::sits next to Jenia:: Jenia: When you feel up to it, we need to look over the map for anything we may have missed.

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: *CTO*: Commander Cha`Dak, scan the surface of Betazed and see if there are any areas that are blocked from our sensors.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::is behind Jax and sees him stumble:: Jax: Jax!

CNS_Lux says:
::tilts her head in confusion between the CMO's and MO's conversation, but doesn't say anything … waits patiently for the CMO to show her the data on the implanted chip in Gil Suppec's brain, wonders if they should involve an engineer in this::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans the surface of Betazed for any fields similar to the previously encountered scattering fields::

CIV_Torsian says:
::nods:: *XO*: Kaneda Fighter refueled and ready to depart.  Request clearance. ::engages maneuvering thrusters and turns the fighter around to face the open shuttlebay doors::

SO_Bern says:
::picks up the newly replicated glass of water and drinks it down, then zips his jacket and puts his rank pips and combadge in place:: *XO*: We've gotten through them ... I believe we're about ready to begin the thorough surface scan.

CMO_Naegle says:
MO: Do you have any recommendations for treatment … such as if the implant can be removed at all.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Romulans advance towards the downed Brikar, they are suddenly rushed and overwhelmed by Whispering Men who attack them with sticks and rocks and anything they can hold.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::bends down to help him:: Jax: Come on big guy ... we’ve got to get out of here.

MO_Powers says:
CMO: Does it have to be removed? Is it harming him in any way?

SO_Burrows says:
::closes the cockpit hatch and begins running sensory diagnostics::

SO_Bern says:
::places both empty glasses in the replicator for recycling and steps over his duffels to exit his quarters::

FCO_Terman says:
::finishes his run-of-the-mill stuff and continues on to plotting unique course corrections::

XO_Storal says:
*SO/EO*: Excellent, let me know what turns up.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::sits up gingerly:: CO: What happened?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::gets up:: CMO: When Jenia feels better, I need her on the bridge.

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: You were struck by a Romulan disruptor blast; can you move?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Whispering Men eventually subdue the Romulans but not before taking several injured themselves.

OPS_Marsland says:
CTO: I'm still not finding anything, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Doctor Powers, it's causing him to act ... not his age.  Not really sure how else to describe it. At least, that’s what Doctor Naegle has been telling me.

XO_Storal says:
*OPS*: Mister Marsland, give the fighters clearance for departure and contact the orbital facility to see if they have investigated the Breen base we came across.

SO_Bern says:
::clears his throat again and clumsily dodges a group of crewmen to get to a waiting turbolift::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
CSO: I'll come now ... I'm okay; I can go to the bridge.

SO_Bern says:
Turbolift:  Bridge, please.

EO_Tana says:
::looks ahead:: FCO: Sir, could you adjust orbit to port by 1.29 degrees?

CMO_Naegle says:
::shows the data she has downloaded onto another PADD to the counselor:: CSO: You can take her now if you would like.  Just be careful.

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: At least we exposed that Breen base, really sloppy how we missed that all this time.

MO_Powers says:
CNS: Is that a bad thing? It makes him easier to control and less of a risk to the Federation doesn't it?

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks about:: Jax: I can't hear anymore disruptors.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::nods and waits for her before heading to the bridge, nodding to Doctor Naegle::

SO_Bern says:
::tugs on his jacket and shivers once, still feeling the effects of the water ... and glad for it, or he'd be asleep again by this point::

CIV_Torsian says:
::checks the fuel reserves and nods with approval::

XO_Storal says:
::stands up and exits the ready room:: CEO: Maybe by using your sensor modifications we can locate the Captain on the surface of Betazed?

SO_Bern says:
::steps out of the turbolift onto the bridge::

CMO_Naegle says:
MO: The counselor thinks it might also be used as a homing device for Glinn Dorchel.

OPS_Marsland says:
*XO*: Aye sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: An utter and complete silence fills the jungle around Linard and Jaxlt. Masterson has been separated from them and isn't in the immediate area.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::gets a look of extreme concern on her face::

CEO_Yeung says:
::stands and follows the XO:: XO: It might be worth a try. I’ll get Bern and Tana to work on that.

SO_Bern says:
::quietly, as he passes by:: EO: Sorry if I held things up. ::walks back toward the primary science station::

MO_Powers says:
CMO: Can we block the carrier wave that acts as the homing beckon?

XO_Storal says:
CEO: Well, if they had it there all along then I doubt it would have been discovered. Remember the Jem’Hadar occupied this planet at one point.

FCO_Terman says:
::looks up:: EO: Sure thing.

SO_Burrows says:
::looks over to the CIV:: CIV: I wonder what's taking them so long.

Host CO_Linard says:
%Jax: Where's Masterson...?

OPS_Marsland says:
*CIV*: Sir, your fighters are cleared for departure. ::allows access to bay field controls::

FCO_Terman says:
::makes the adjustment::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Aboard the Apache, a proximity alarm goes off as Terman adjusts the ship's course.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::steps into the turbolift, holding the door for Jenia:: TL: Bridge…

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Well ... I think it would be a good idea to check if that's the case first.

XO_Storal says:
CTO: What’s our status Commander?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::hears the alarm::

FCO_Terman says:
::looks down:: Self: What the dickens?

EO_Tana says:
FCO: Thank you sir. ::glances over at Bern:: SO: I just got... ::looks back toward his console::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::steps onto the lift with Nightcloud feeling small and afraid:: CSO: Have you seen Commander Yeung?

CIV_Torsian says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged Operations, engaging engines now. ::powers up his engines::

FCO_Terman says:
::decides to go back to the original course::

SO_Bern says:
::shakes his head and runs his hands through his hair, finally beginning to feel awake::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
Jenia: No, not since yesterday.

SO_Burrows says:
CIV: Oh there they are.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::carefully stands and looks about. With what's left of her mind she reaches out to try and find out what's going on::

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Report Mister Terman.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, I’m not picking up any of the scattering fields we experienced on Hynozad on the surface of Betazed.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Feeling they've been spotted, a K'vort class Bird of Prey decloaks and fires on the Apache.

OPS_Marsland says:
COM: Orbital Facility: This is the USS Apache, has anyone had the opportunity to investigate the Breen base we reported?

OPS_Marsland says:
::activates red alert::

MO_Powers says:
CNS: We could scan the device to see if it is emitting any type of signal.

SO_Burrows says:
CIV: Gunny! The Apache is being fired upon!

FCO_Terman says:
XO: I don’t know… ::shrugs:: XO: Oh! A bird of prey, sir!

EO_Tana says:
::frowns:: SO: As I was saying, sir…::stumbles sideways as the ship's hit::

XO_Storal says:
All: Red alert! All hands to battle stations!

CIV_Torsian says:
#::engages full engines and peels away from the Apache shuttlebay so as not to be caught in their shields::

SO_Bern says:
::activates the panel::  Self:  Darn it...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::goes to red alert::

Host Silent_One says:
~~~CO: Kathleen...~~~

SO_Bern says:
EO: Umm ... I guess it'll wait, anyhow.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::feels the ship shudder, the turbolift doors open and he steps onto the bridge::

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Return Fire! Target their weapons and engines.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: We just about ran into it! ::feels proud that he kept them from crashing, never mind that they are in a fight now::

CNS_Lux says:
MO: I'm wondering if that has been detected already ... and.... ::pauses at the sound of red alert klaxons going off::

CEO_Yeung says:
::eyes open in surprise:: *Engineering*: All personnel to battle stations! ::runs up to engineering console::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::targets their engines and fires all forward phasers::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::pales:: ~~~Silence: I'm here...~~~

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Bird of Prey offers a few more disruptor blasts before it takes hits from the Apache and decides its best to cloak and take a course for Hynozad.

CEO_Yeung says:
::makes sure offensive and defensive systems are at their peak::

XO_Storal says:
CTO:I want an identification on that Bird of Prey, Mister Cha`Dak!

CIV_Torsian says:
#SO: Have you been trained in weapons tactics on a Kaneda fighter? ::pulls around the rear of the Apache and over the top::

CNS_Lux says:
::grabs onto a nearby console as the ship rocks with the firing::

EO_Tana says:
::turns off the sensor focus equipment and returns to his normal duties, heading off red flags:: XO: Sir, the portside #8 shield generator blew a couple of capacitors but the backups are holding steady.

MO_Powers says:
::gets out the medical equipment and prepares sickbay for casualties::

Host Silent_One says:
%~~~CO: It's been a long time, Kathleen. I've missed you.~~~

CSO_Nightcloud says:
Bern: Good morning, Lieutenant.

XO_Storal says:
EO: Get a repair team on it, Tana.

Host CO_Linard says:
%~~~Silence: Who is this?~~~

SO_Burrows says:
#CIV: I wouldn't call it my major, sir! ::activates the tactical systems and takes aim at the enemy ship::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
Jenia: Sit there, Jenia. ::motions to a seat near him::

SO_Bern says:
::unsure of the situation, just looks at the sensor readouts ... hasn't been on the bridge during a tactical incident before::  CSO:  That's in question so far, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::tries to identify the Bird of Prey::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::looks at the Captain oddly:: CO: Are you all right, sir?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::grins::

CIV_Torsian says:
#::pulls over from behind the Apache and looks for the enemy ship:: SO: Where did it go?

EO_Tana says:
::speaks without looking up:: XO: Aye sir. ::orders a repair team from Main Engineering to the shield generator to replace the blown capacitors::

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Do you have that data handy on you?

Host CO_Linard says:
%::gazes off ... as if in a trance, as she tries to find out who it is that's talking to her:: Jax: Someone's talking to me...

Host Silent_One says:
%~~~CO: You don't remember me? Well, it has been a long time. I am the silence ... I am that which is there when nothing else is. I am the one that watches; the Silent One.~~~

SO_Bern says:
::manages a smile::

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks over to Storal:: XO: Looks like she's off to Hynozad. What now, boss?

MO_Powers says:
CNS: The data on the implant?

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Contact the Marine fighters. Tell Lieutenant Torsian to continue the search. Were going back to Hynozad.

SO_Burrows says:
#CIV: I guess so, sir...

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Plot course for Hynozad and engage.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: What’s the latest on those scattering fields?

XO_Storal says:
CEO: We follow.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Should it be a direct one, sir? ::evil grin, as he plots a direct course to Hynozad::

CIV_Torsian says:
#SO: Not good enough!  We need to find them and attack! Fire on their last known position and find their ion trail, there has to be something!

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir...

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Yes.

XO_Storal says:
FCO: The quickest route, Mister Terman.

SO_Bern says:
CSO:  We got through, finally ... but when we were just about to start the detailed scan of the planet's surface, we were attacked… ::narrows his eyes at the panel:: ...by a Klingon Bird of Prey.

EO_Tana says:
::looks up, a comment on his lips, but backs down and returns to his job::

SO_Burrows says:
#::charges the phaser bank and fires on the last known position of the enemy ship::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: That's what I thought. ::presses the big green engage button::

OPS_Marsland says:
COM: Fighter Groups: Commander Storal says to continue the search for Captain Linard. The Apache will be returning to Hynozad to further the investigation there.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: So now the Klingons show up ... well with everyone else showing interest in this area, hate to think they wouldn't be here.

Host CO_Linard says:
%~~~Silence: Oh my...~~~

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: Sir, the orbital facility reports they have not gotten around to investigating the Breen base.

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Did they say when they were going to get around to it?

CIV_Torsian says:
#Self: What! ::activates his communications panel:: COM: Apache: Understood Apache, Powering down weapons and turning towards planet side.

CNS_Lux says:
MO: May I take a look at them please?

SO_Bern says:
CSO:  I guess so... ::coughs a little bit ... still isn't altogether certain what is going on::

Host CO_Linard says:
%~~~Silence: I ... I remember you now.~~~

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Give me good news on those scattering fields, Mister Nightcloud.

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: They said they’d get to it as soon as possible, sir.

Host Silent_One says:
%~~~CO: I'm coming for you, Kathleen. Are you ready?~~~

MO_Powers says:
CNS: Yes … sure.  ::hands the data to Counselor Lux::

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Funny, you would think that it would be a priority … wouldn’t you Mister Marsland? ::grins::

SO_Burrows says:
#::powers down the weapons array and targeting systems::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Sir, we had broken through those scattering fields. We were about to use this new sensor technique when we were attacked.

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Thank you, Doctor.  ::scrolls through the PADD and quickly looks at them::

OPS_Marsland says:
XO: Indeed... ::grins::

CIV_Torsian says:
#::reengages course to the planet surface:: SO: They're bigger than us, and can do more damage.

CNS_Lux says:
::looks off into the distance, in deep thought:: MO: I think I should head up to the bridge and see what's going on.  ::nods:: MO: If you'll excuse me.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::surprised:: ~~~Silence: Well, if you had called first ... I might be ready... ~~~

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Kathleen telepathically responds to the silence, a shadow moves out from the jungle and moves towards them. It takes on the rough shape of a man but both Jaxlt and Linard can see straight through it, as if looking through a shadow.

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Continue the scan, that Bird of Prey is headed to Hynozad as well. I need to know what is in store for us when we arrive.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: Start the surface scan, Mister Bern.

MO_Powers says:
CNS: Yes sir.  If you learn anything new please contact me and fill me in.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Aye sir.

CIV_Torsian says:
#::lays in a search pattern around the Piri islands::

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Tom is there anything over the local communications traffic?

SO_Bern says:
CSO:  Oh, right ... there's one other thing.  We'll need the main deflector to perform the scan, so the Apache will need to be aimed properly. ::coughs again, not feeling too well since he hasn't eaten in a relatively long time::

CNS_Lux says:
MO: Yes. ::smiles:: MO: They do leave us in the dark down here, don't they?

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks at Jax then at the shadow:: ~~~Silence: Where are we going? If I may ask...~~~

CNS_Lux says:
::still reads the PADD as she heads out of sickbay, thanking Doctor Naegle as she leaves, and heads further down the corridor towards the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::nods:: XO: Sir, we'll need the main deflector for the scan, and we will have to position the Apache properly.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: Lieutenant, are you okay?

EO_Tana says:
::drums his fingers lightly on the edge of the console:: CEO: Excuse me, Commander. I'd like to oversee the repair of the portside generator personally. Do you need me on the bridge?

Host Silent_One says:
%~~~CO: I am coming to speak with you, Kathleen. We are not going anywhere.~~~

MO_Powers says:
CNS: They certainly do. ::smiles:: CNS: Thank you.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::rises alarmingly:: CO: Captain!

SO_Bern says:
::looks rather green around the edges::  CSO: Uh ... yeah, I think so.

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to Tana:: EO: Go ahead, I've got things here taken care of.

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Very well. Give Mister Terman the coordinates.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::lays her hand on Jax's arm:: Jax: It's okay Jax ... just remain calm.

Host CO_Linard says:
%~~~Silence: My apologies, it's been a rough few days.~~~

EO_Tana says:
CEO: Thank you, sir. The technical readouts for the modified sensor grid will be on the display whenever they're ready. ::nods and steps away from the console, heading back to the lifts::

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Commander, is there anything on sensors?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: Give Mister Terman the coordinates, and when we are done, you will get a bite to eat ... that’s an order. ::grins::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods to Tana::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Nothing Commander.

EO_Tana says:
::steps into the lift:: TL: Deck 6.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the shadow approaches the Captain several Whispering Men move up behind her. They carry between them the beaten body of one of the Romulans, which they toss to the ground before the Captain. When the Romulan looks up, the Captain immediately recognizes her Centurion interrogator.

SO_Burrows says:
#::uses her scanners to search the Piri islands for the staff and any of the away team members::

SO_Bern says:
::smiles rather oddly:: CSO: Thanks... ::sends the coordinates and the proper pitch positioning to the helm console::

CNS_Lux says:
::waves to the EO as he gets on the lift as she steps off::

CNS_Lux says:
::looks around the bridge for the commander:: XO: May I have a quick word with you?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::punches up a picture of the map on the display in front of Jenia for her to look at::

FCO_Terman says:
::assumes that the coordinates are a location that he should fly to and begins adjusting the course::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks down at the Romulan:: Centurion: We meet again...

XO_Storal says:
::paces the bridge:: CNS: What is it, Lieutenant?

CIV_Torsian says:
#::pilots the fighter over the south end performing a very low altitude fly by of all the islands in sequence::

Host Centurion says:
%::snarls at her::

CNS_Lux says:
::walks over to him, and scrolls the PADD to the right spot and hands it to him:: XO: There's an implant in Gil Suppec's brain.  Both the doctors and I have concluded that it serves two purposes.

Host Silent_One says:
%::stares down at the Romulan:: ~~~CO: This one violated my sanctuary ... disturbed my quiet place.~~~

SO_Bern says:
::prepares the sensor matrix and requests the necessary power from OPS ... should be pulling a bit more than normal, with the main deflector and the modified grid operating::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::shakes her head:: Centurion: I really don't think you're in a position to argue here...

OPS_Marsland says:
::turns back to his sensors, trying to locate the away team::

SO_Burrows says:
#::scans for the metal alloys in the combadges as well as the fibers of the Starfleet uniforms for the away team::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::helps Mister Bern::

Host CO_Linard says:
%~~~Silence: What will be done with him?~~~

Host Centurion says:
%::looks up towards the shadow and falls back on his knees in surprise, pushing away from it::

XO_Storal says:
::takes the PADD:: CNS: Fascinating. What does it do?

CNS_Lux says:
XO: One, it acts as a controlling device.  We think that's what his Uncle, Glinn Dorchel, is using the device.  And two, it seems to be emitting a homing signal.  Sir, it's a tracking device.  No doubt to figure out where the Gil is currently should he become separated from Dorchel.

Host Silent_One says:
%::sadly:: ~~~CO: He will be punished...~~~

EO_Tana says:
::steps out of the lift on Deck 6 and starts walking forward along the portside, reading Jefferies tube numbers::

SO_Burrows says:
#::switches screens and searches for any unusual readings for the Staff of Khrysaros:: CIV: Slow down, these sensors aren't exactly the best in Starfleet.

XO_Storal says:
::grins broadly:: CNS: Can you find the frequency of the signal and trace it back to where its being picked up?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the shadow speaks to Linard, it reaches out a hand to the Romulan and gently strokes the Centurion's hair. A few moments pass before the Romulans eyes begin to bug out and he is overcome by a violent shaking. Blood begins to come from his eye sockets and nose as his head shakes violently.

CNS_Lux says:
XO: The prisoner also mentioned that the Staff we are searching for holds great power.  It’s supposed to make one very wise, and very ‘smart’ according to the Gil.  And that's probably why the Glinn wants it.

OPS_Marsland says:
::sees the incoming request from Science and allocates the necessary power, sending acknowledgment of the request::

CNS_Lux says:
XO: I can certainly try.

CEO_Yeung says:
::overhears Lux:: XO: Maybe we can modify the implant to trace back to Dorchel.

Host Centurion says:
%::ripping off his helmet, screams out loudly:: Aloud: Ahh! No! ::collapses to the ground in a heap going into convulsions::

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks at the shadow and then to the Romulan as her eyes widen with horror. Turns and hides her face into Jax's chest::

SO_Bern says:
CSO: Okay ... looks like we're ready.

CIV_Torsian says:
#::looks over and raises an eyebrow:: SO: It's a fighter, not meant to scan … meant to fight. ::decreases speed to improve sensor resolution::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Sir, the Main Deflector is ready.

XO_Storal says:
CNS: Ligeia ... this is important; what happens if it is removed?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::holds the Captain close and turns her away from the Centurion::

EO_Tana says:
Self: Was it J-0812-2403? ::crouches before the Jeffries tube door and taps in his access, crawling in toward the voices::

XO_Storal says:
::claps his hands and rubs them together:: CSO: Commence scan.

SO_Burrows says:
#::scans for the density of Betazoid wood and specific size of the staff among the islands below::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Aye sir. ::nods to Mister Bern to commence::

CNS_Lux says:
XO: We don't think it'll harm the Gil.  And it'll give us a closer look at the implant's technology.

XO_Storal says:
CEO: Work with the Counselor and Mister Marsland on this…

SO_Bern says:
::begins the scan, and sees a return almost immediately ... waits for the computer to sort things out::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A pair of Whispering Men approaches the Captain and Jaxlt. They bend down and pick up the Centurion's lifeless body before dragging him away.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::hears the Romulan stop screaming and looks back at him, then at the shadow ... is a little miffed:: Silence: Why did you kill him?

CIV_Torsian says:
#*Denson*: Sergeant, have you found anything?

FCO_Terman says:
::wonders if the proximity alarm will go off again ... makes sure that his reactions are ninja-like::

XO_Storal says:
CNS: Good. We may have the key to finding that Spoon headed scoundrel.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::watches patiently::

Host CO_Linard says:
%Shadow: I know what he did was wrong, but I think that was a little harsh...

Host Silent_One says:
%~~~CO: I told you why...~~~

EO_Tana says:
::crawls out of the other end of the Jeffries tube and stands in the machinery room, under the humming shielding equipment::

SGT_Denson says:
#::flies by the Gunny’s shuttle and comes along side to his left:: *CIV*: Sir, no luck. Perhaps we should create a sensor grid between the three of us and use that like we use the Transporter enhancers.

CNS_Lux says:
::raises her eyebrows slightly at the XO's comment about "spoon heads" but figures that she'll leave it for now::  XO: Aye sir. ::walks over to the CEO::

Host Silent_One says:
%::begins moving towards her again:: ~~~CO: Now there is something you must do for me, Kathleen.~~~

XO_Storal says:
CTO: I think that once we arrive at Hynozad that Bird of Prey will try another pass. Be ready.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::sees the Shadow approaching and steps between it and the Captain::

CIV_Torsian says:
#*Denson*: Excellent Idea! ::looks over to the SO:: SO: Would that work Lieutenant?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Aye sir.

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: Okay ... the frequency.  ::scrolls through the PADD again:: CEO: Here we go… ::points::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: All weapons are on standby. Shields are at 100% and holding.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Structural integrity is within normal parameters.  Should I remain at red alert, sir?

SO_Bern says:
CSO:  Okay ... the areas the scattering fields were hiding are very heavily mined out.  Two of the three areas have significant activity as we speak.

Host CO_Linard says:
%~~~Shadow: I'm not sure I want to hear this... ~~~

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: Outstanding Lieutenant…

SO_Burrows says:
#CIV: Can't hurt to try, I'll signal the third fighter and coordinate the effort.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Sir, we have the data.

CEO_Yeung says:
::copies down the frequency:: CNS: Thanks, that should give us a good start.

XO_Storal says:
::nods at the CTO:: CTO: Yes, we do not know what’s there. It would be foolhardy not to remain at our present alert level. CSO: Lets have it, Mister Nightcloud.

CIV_Torsian says:
#SO: Excellent! *Denson*: Get in position. ::pilots his fighter to the south eastern corner of the Piri Islands::

CEO_Yeung says:
CNS: The implant is still in Suppec, correct?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::gives a singular silent nod to Cmdr. Storal::

SGT_Denson says:
#*CIV*: Aye Gunny. ::goes to his corner::

EO_101011110111001101 says:
::turns around and as Tana crawls out of the tube:: EO: Ensign Tana. Why are you here?

Host CO_Linard says:
%::places her hand on Jax's arm and moves out from behind him::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: The scattering fields were hiding heavily mined out areas. Two of which have significant activity currently.

CNS_Lux says:
::nods:: CEO: Yes it is. I was wondering if you would like to examine it yourself ... for an Engineer’s view.

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Mines?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Aye sir, they are digging for something.

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Dig sites?

EO_Tana says:
::dusts off his uniform unnecessarily and nods at the Bynars:: 101: I thought you could use the company. I'll try not to get in the way too much. How are you both?

EO_010100101100111110 says:
::opening the shielded case holding the replacement capacitors:: EO: We are well. ::looks at his brother:: EO: Still not understanding the need for your presence, Ensign Tana.

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: Although, I don’t' think you'll get more than what we've got here.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: Any lifesigns?

SO_Burrows says:
#CIV: We're ready; beginning triangulation scans. ::activates the sensor grid triangle::

Host Silent_One says:
%~~~CO: As a child of Betazed, you must hear this. As my child, it is your duty. You must not turn the Staff of Khrysaros over to anyone. You must not let anyone remove it from its resting place. You must protect the staff from when I return to deliver Betazed from its failings.~~~

MO_Powers says:
*CNS*: What is happening up there?

SO_Bern says:
CSO: Plenty, but an indeterminate number.  The resolution isn't quite good enough … a high enough number to notice the activity in the two sites, anyhow. ::blinks at the panel::  Self/CSO: That's odd...

CEO_Yeung says:
CNS: Well, it'll be a bit more difficult, but I think we can manage. Do we have the specs of the implant?

EO_Tana says:
010/101: Just here to help, guys. Let's see if we can get this shield generator up to specs before Commander Cha`Dak blows a blood vessel, okay? ::draws up his jacket sleeves , tucking the cuffs of his undershirt over them to keep them in place::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: There are lifesigns, indeterminate number.

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Race?

CNS_Lux says:
*MO*: Doctor we are examining the homing signal and trying to trace it's origin.  Do we have the specifications of the implants … make, model, and year … stuff like that.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::looks closely::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Unable to tell, sir.

CNS_Lux says:
::scrolls through her PADD::  CEO: I don't think I do … but sickbay might, because they have all the data on this stuff.

XO_Storal says:
::paces back and fourth:: CSO: Power sources?

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods:: CNS: All right, thanks.

MO_Powers says:
*CNS*: Not at this time, no. The information you have is all I have.

EO_Tana says:
::ignores the blinking of the Bynars cranial implants as they converse in silence, satisfying himself with shoehorning the burned out capacitor::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::on the bridge, not sure what she can contribute here::

CIV_Torsian says:
#::maintains altitude and sensor power:: SO: I'll try to give you some more juice.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::nods:: ~~~Shadow: If that is what you wish...~~~

SO_Bern says:
::knits his brow:: CSO: Some kind of meteorological disturbance just died down at the one site ... the wind picked up well enough to be noticed by the sensors.  It only lasted a couple minutes, but ... odd that it showed up like that.  Must've been pretty powerful. ::shrugs::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Sir, our resolution is not very good. We can only determine that there are lifesigns present because of the amount of activity. We can’t give you accurate scans while the scattering fields are still up.

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to Marsland:: OPS: Lieutenant Marsland, see if you can pick up any transmissions on this frequency. ::hands him the frequency numbers::

CIV_Torsian says:
#::increases power to the sensor systems on board drawing from the now idle engines::

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: Nope, I guess it’s not standard for medical scans to take note of things like that.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::nods:: SO: Good job Mister Bern.

XO_Storal says:
::turns and sees Jenia standing there:: Prue: Miss Prue, what can you tell me about Hynozad?

Host Silent_One says:
%:;takes one step closer to her:: ~~~CO: For the sake of your people, it is what you must do. The Staff of Khrysaros can not leave it's resting place.~~~

SO_Burrows says:
#CIV: Thank you, sir.  What we're going to try to do is bounce our sensors off each other, and use that as redundancy as well a method for a more efficient scans. This may take some time however.

Host Jenia_Prue says:
XO: Hynozad is the innermost planet in the Honiara system. It appears as one of the brightest objects in Betazed’s night sky. The planet is geologically inactive and has a smooth, light-colored surface, making it one of the most highly reflective planets ever discovered. Its close proximity to our sun means it gathers a great deal of light. Hynozad is little explored, most Betazoids have long attributed a religious significance to the planet and do not wish to treat is as just another planetoid to be explored and catalogued.

EO_010100101100111110 says:
::hands Tana the replacement while his brother hand checks the others on the same line for faults::

Host CO_Linard says:
%~~~Shadow: I understand ... but there are many races looking for it.~~~

CEO_Yeung says:
*MO*: Doctor, do what you can to get me an analysis of the implant, please.

XO_Storal says:
CSO: I had to try … recommendations?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::looks at the weather data closely::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Shadow moves closer it completely dissipates and washes over Captain Linard as if a thousand particles of sands whirled around her. At the same moment, Mister Torsian's craft passes overhead of the Captain and suddenly a strong signal on a scans for Betazoid and Brikar lifesigns.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Only way to tell what is truly going on down there is to get closer.

CIV_Torsian says:
#Adonica: Take all the time that you need, but only as much as we have. ::looks over the sensor outputs to see if he can identify anything:: SO: What was that?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, have you prepared for the fact that the Captain may be dead?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: That is strange...

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::looks up:: CO: I hear a shuttle...

MO_Powers says:
*CEO*: Yes sir.

Host CO_Linard says:
%~~~Shadow: How can I...~~~ ::gets lost in the tiny vortex::

SO_Burrows says:
#CIV: That look like Betazoid lifesigns! Break formation and go there! ::points:: That Island!

MO_Powers says:
::starts analysis of the implant::

XO_Storal says:
CTO: It comes with the job, Commander. But until I have a body, or evidence, we will continue the search.

SO_Bern says:
CSO:  Yeah... ::yawns a little, finding it strange, but rather mundane::  I wonder what would do that.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::concedes with a singular nod of his head::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: Extreme heat can cause sudden high winds...

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks up and tries to see where Jax is looking:: Jax: What kind of shuttle?

XO_Storal says:
CSO: Agreed.

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::watches what the rest of the crew on the bridge is doing and tries to stay out of the way::

CIV_Torsian says:
#:: engages engines and heads for the coordinates that look like they contain Human and Brikar lifesigns:: *CO*: Torsian to the Captain, please respond.

XO_Storal says:
CTO: What’s your tactical analysis of the dig sites?

EO_Tana says:
::begins to unwind the steel rod in his spine as he relaxes among the other non commissioned officers:: 101/010: Did you hear that limerick about Nantucket?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: I recommend sending an Away Team as an option...

SO_Burrows says:
#::monitors the sensor progress as Torsian returns to the coordinates with the strong signal::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::calls up the data onto the console before him::

SO_Bern says:
CSO:  True ... not much else, other than some kind of atmospheric controller or a large wind machine...

EO_101011110111001101 says:
::closes his tricorder:: EO: What is a Nantucket? Is it an animal?

XO_Storal says:
::nods once to the CSO and waits for the CTO's recommendation::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: That too...

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: Cardassians don't have cloaking technologies, do they?

EO_Tana says:
::shakes his head:: 101: No, it's a place.

CEO_Yeung says:
::shakes head:: CNS: Not normally, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had smuggled a device of two for their own use.

EO_101011110111001101 says:
::looks at his twin:: EO: That is not a very funny joke, Ensign Tana.

CIV_Torsian says:
#:: pilots and stops over the location of the Betazoid and Brikar life signs:: SO: Is this it?

SO_Burrows says:
#::pounds the island they are now over with sensor output waiting to see the results on the input::

EO_Tana says:
::laughs a little:: 101/010: I thought so too.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::points:: CO: Isn't that a Kaneda class fighter?

CNS_Lux says:
CEO: Do you think it would be a good idea to remove the implant from Suppec?  I'm thinking that it can also act as a transport transponder.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, they have no tactical advantage. I am picking up no weapon placements.

Host CO_Linard says:
% ::looks up and a wide smile begins to grow on her face:: Jax: I believe so, Mister Burta...

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: If it is decided to send an away team, I want you to accompany them.

EO_Tana says:
::works mostly in silence with the other technicians until the portside #8 shield generator is fully online::

CIV_Torsian says:
#::frowns and turns the fighter on its side and activates the search lights trying to see if he sees anything::

CEO_Yeung says:
::scratches chin:: CNS: I wouldn't recommend it until we know exactly what we're dealing with. It could be booby trapped as a precaution.

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Prepare an away team; we’re going down there.

SO_Bern says:
::rubs his eyes and nods::  CSO: Yes sir...

Host CO_Linard says:
%::looks around for the Whispering Men ... as she wants to thank them for their help::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::thinks again:: SO: Be honest Lieutenant, can you do it?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: With the sound of the approaching craft, the Whispering Men, and their civilization have completely disappeared...

CNS_Lux says:
::nods::  CEO: Suppec doesn't seem to think Dorchel likes him very much ... and from what he tells me, it seems to be true.  Maybe removing it will make his head explode or something.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, I feel it is my duty to remind you that you cannot place yourself in undue danger. You should remain here.

XO_Storal says:
CTO: That’s why you are going in my place.

SO_Bern says:
::nods again::  CSO: Yes-s...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Very well, Commander.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
%::shields his eyes from the search lights::

SO_Bern says:
::pauses::  CSO:  Well, it might not be such a good idea ... but I think I can.

CEO_Yeung says:
::chuckles:: CNS: I don't think Dorchel doesn't like many others. You haven't encountered him yet, have you?

CIV_Torsian says:
#::activates the communications channel:: COM: USS Apache: I believe we have found the missing away team, Apache. I’m relaying my coordinates on the planet and landing to investigate further. Please dispatch a shuttle as soon as possible to collect the Captain, and others.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*SEC Abbott*: Lieutenant Abbott, an away team of four, immediately.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::raises her arm to shield herself from the bright lights::

CSO_Nightcloud says:
SO: I'll go, Lieutenant.  You have been working your tail off.

Host SEC_Abbott says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.

CNS_Lux says:
::shakes her head:: CEO: I've only read about him from the reports on the ship, since we've captured Suppec.  But no, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Mister Dorchel. ::thinks:: CEO: Okay, maybe that's a good thing.

MO_Powers says:
*CEO*: The implant is a Cardassian make and looks like a recent development, probably made in the past two years. I don't know enough about Cardassian technology to give you much detail.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*SEC*: Belay that order, Lieutenant Abbott.

CSO_Nightcloud says:
XO: Permission to accompany the Team?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the craft comes down through the jungle Canopy, Lieutenant Masterson comes running out of the jungle and looks up before joining Captain Linard and Mister Burta.

Host SEC_Abbott says:
::pauses:: *CTO*: Understood.

XO_Storal says:
XO: I wouldn’t have it any other way, Mister Nightcloud.

EO_Tana says:
::follows the Bynars out of the Jefferies tubes and into the main corridors::

CEO_Yeung says:
*MO*: All right, thanks John. Upload the specs to the engineering console on the bridge.

CIV_Torsian says:
#::steadily decreases in altitude and puts the vessel right side up and uses the navigation sensors to not land on anyone::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, I’m picking up Mister Torsian’s coordinates.

Host CO_Linard says:
%::tries to reach out her gratitude to the whispering men in hopes they will sense it from her::

SO_Bern says:
CSO: Okay sir. ::tries to hold back a yawn and only half manages it::

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Did they find them?

CSO_Nightcloud says:
::grins:: SO: If you can, get a bite to eat and a little rest while I’m gone.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Yes, according to Mister Torsian. It is unconfirmed at this point though, sir.

XO_Storal says:
CTO: Excellent.

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks over to Storal and gives him a grin:: XO: Finally, some good news.

CIV_Torsian says:
%::touches down and opens the canopy of the fighter and turns off the search lights and activates his wrist beacon, taking out his phaser and looking around::

EO_Tana says:
101/010: You guy’s better head back to Engineering. I'm going to return to the Bridge to see if our little project was a success. I'll see you after shift. ::steps into a nearby lift:: TL: Deck 1

SO_Bern says:
CSO: Next opportunity I have to sneak... ::turns slightly red:: ...err, when I get a chance, sir.

MO_Powers says:
*CEO*: Aye sir. ::uploads specs::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Mister Torsian's fighter descends through the jungle canopy, the sound of a Whispering Man beating his chest is heard off in the distance and the sounds of the jungle and peaceful calm briefly fills the mind of Captain Linard. But somewhere, deep in the darkest recesses of her telepathy, a dark place exists and watches ... in Silence.
