Star Trek: Apache - Episode #22
Week: #2
Episode: "The City of the End of Things"

Host Jafo says:
The Apache was en route to the Bajoran colony of Trevan to deal with an outbreak of Parinisti measles when Captain Linard was informed that Jenia Prue appeared to have runaway from her home on Betazed. It was suggested that the young woman may have stowed away aboard the Apache.

Host Jafo says:
En route to the colony, the Apache came across a derelict Cyanite vessel, like those encountered during a previous mission. Using the EMMA droid, constructed by Ensign Tana, they boarded the vessel and discovered the corpse of a Cyanite crewmember.

Host Jafo says:
Meanwhile, Captain Linard held a meeting with Commander Yeung about the missing Jenia Prue and decided to head for Fort Apache to talk to Jaxlt Burta. As the crew of the Apache continue to investigate the surprise appearance of a lone Cyanite vessel and the body found on board, Captain Linard has been shocked to discover that Jenia Prue is on board the Apache, and is the daughter of Jaxlt Burta.

Host Jafo says:
<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission Week #2 >>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Have a section of shuttle bay one quarantined and secured. We are going to bring aboard the Cyanite vessel.

Host CO_Linard says:
::is still quite shocked as she looks at Jenia:: Jenia: Your Father? Well that would certainly explain a lot of things...

CMO_Naegle says:
::in Sickbay, looking over the data on the Cyanite body:: *XO*: Naegle to Storal.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::nods at the Captain as Jenia locks her arm in his:: CO: Yes, I imagine it does Captain.

CEO_Yeung says:
::walking down the corridors of deck 2, heading towards the front of the ship::

XO_Storal says:
::taps his combadge:: *CMO*: Go ahead, Doctor.

Host CO_Linard says:
::shakes her head:: Jax/Jenia: You've worried a lot of people ... could you please tell me why you didn't tell anyone where you were going?

FCO_Terman says:
::nods to the XO:: *Shuttlebay*: Hello? I don't suppose you have enough room for a Cyanite ship?

Host Jenia_Prue says:
CO: My grandmother never would have let me go with Jax ... you see, she disapproved all along of his relationship with my mother. And when I was born, she tried to cover up the fact that Jax was my father.

XO_Storal says:
SO: Mister Bern, have a xenobiology teams standing by and ready to investegate the ship.

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: Commander, right now I can only positively identify the body as being Cyanite in origin.  I'd have to exmine the corpse further for a more thorough identification.

SO_Bern says:
::checks on the structural integrity of the Cyanite craft ... even though there aren't any outward signs of damage, it seems unlikely that the vessel could have such a low power output and maintain any locomotion:: XO: May I have permission to join them, sir?

EO_Tana says:
::gets up from the tech station and taps his badge:: *CMO*: Engineering to Sickbay, Doctor Naegle?

XO_Storal says:
SO: Yes, very much so.

CMO_Naegle says:
*EO*: Go ahead Ensign Tana.

XO_Storal says:
*CMO*: We will be transporting the body  to sickbay momentarily.

Host CO_Linard says:
Jenia: Well, I can certainly understand your reasonings...

SO_Bern says:
::nods:: XO: I'll make my way down there. ::grabs a PADD and pulls up the crew manifest again, still unfamiliar with the majority of the science staff::

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: Acknowledged Commander.

FDO_Marshal says:
*FCO*: All clear.

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Is the area ready in shuttlebay one?

Host CO_Linard says:
Jenia: But there are a lot more things at stake than just your grandmother disapproving ... I think at the very least you could send her a message telling her you are okay.

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Sounds like it. ::nods::

EO_Tana says:
::glances back at the screen:: *CMO*: The unit's done it's job, ma'am. I can transport her to Sickbay where you can retrieve the corpse. But I'll need to be there before you open her. ::mentally slaps himself:: Self: It … not her.

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::takes a step back:: CO: No, she'd make me leave ... and she'd make you force me off the ship. I won't go! ::hunkers down next to Jax::

SO_Bern says:
::closes down his station for the time being, noting that the craft should be all right to tractor in, and taps his combadge:: *Kerlan*: Doctor Kerland, please report to the primary shuttlebay.  I'll meet you there.

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Lock on a tractor beam and  stand by to bring  her in.

CEO_Yeung says:
::walks up to the door of the Fort Apache and presses the button to open the door::

SO_Kerlan says:
::looks up from gen specimen jars:: *SO*: Is it really necessary?

FCO_Terman says:
::taps a few buttons and activates the tractor beam, aimed at the Cyanite ship::

CMO_Naegle says:
::chuckles a bit at, ‘her’:: EO: All right Kavli, go ahead and I’ll let you know when ‘she’ arrives.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: The doors to Fort Apache swish open in front of Commander Yeung.

XO_Storal says:
*EO*: Kavli have you finished  your sweep of the ship?

SO_Bern says:
::steps aside, into the starboard turbolift:: *Kerlan*: Let's just say that I'd appreciate it, okay Doctor?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: The main tractor beam locks onto the Cyanite vessel and begins to move it towards the open shuttlebay doors.

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks into the hall to see the Captain, Jax, and Jenia:: Self: Ah, so this is why the forward sensors weren't working.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::looks up as the doors to Fort Apache open to reveal Commander Yeung::

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Once the Cyanite vessel is secured, set course for Trevan at maximum warp.

EO_Tana says:
::fixes on Emma's transponder and begins the sequence:: *XO*: Yes sir, the sweep is complete. I’m transporting EMMA to sickbay for retrieval of the specimen. I'll download the rest of the data from there. ::activates the transporter::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks to Commander Yeung and smiles:: CEO: Apparently so...

FCO_Terman says:
::under his breath:: Self: About time...

XO_Storal says:
*EO*: Good work Kavli, Storal out.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: The tractor beams move the Cyanite ship into the shuttlebay where it is quickly secured.

CMO_Naegle says:
::awaits the transport of EMMA to sickbay::

CEO_Yeung says:
::looks around warily:: CO: Is everything being handled here, Captain?

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Yes Commander, thank you.

SO_Bern says:
Turbolift: Deck three.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks to Jenia:: Jenia: No one is making you go back Jenia, and I would certainly think you are old enough to make your own decisions ... how old are you exactly?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: EMMA is beamed off of the Cyanite vessel and reappears crouched on a biobed in sickbay.

FCO_Terman says:
::as soon as he hears from the shuttlebay that the ship is saved he hits the engage button, having been prepared for this for a long time already::

XO_Storal says:
Verall: Mister Verall, send a security team to shuttlebay one and quarantine the area.

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::looks at Jaxlt warily::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::nods to Jenia::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods and turns to leave, leaving the others to their privacy::

EO_Tana says:
::leaves Sickbay and makes his way toward Main Engineering::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
CO: I am forty-seven, Captain. You see...

CMO_Naegle says:
*EO*: Ensign Tana, your baby has arrived.

EO_Tana says:
*CMO*: Ma'am?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
CO: You see, Captain ... when Brikar interbreed with other species, the Brikar traits are often dormant, or at least,not dominant. This was the case with Jenia, her mother's genetic traits were dominant so outwardly she appears to be completely Betazoid. But in her DNA there are some remnants of Brikar physiology ... such as our slow aging.

SO_Kerlan says:
::waits in the shuttlebay impatiently, looking for Bern::

EO_Tana says:
TL: Sickbay.

CMO_Naegle says:
*EO*: I'm sorry, EMMA has been transported and I'm awaiting your arrival.

Host CO_Linard says:
::shakes her head:: Jax/Jenia: Astounding...

CEO_Yeung says:
::as he heads back to the bridge, makes a note to readjust the internal sensors::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::shrugs at Jenia::

SO_Bern says:
::walks around toward the shuttlebay doors and enters, looking around for the doctor::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::shrugs back at Jaxlt::

TO_Verall says:
XO: Aye sir. ::taps the  tactical console::*Lukan*: Mister Lukan, gather your team and head to shuttlebay one to secure the Cyanite vessel.

EO_Tana says:
::blinks, wondering if he's going to become the ship equivalent of villiage idiot for having a nanopet:: *CMO*: Thank you Doctor, I'll be right there. ::waits until the lift door opens and makes his way toward the doors to sickbay::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: As Mister Terman works his controls, the Apache resumes its course for Trevan at maximum warp.

CEO_Yeung says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

TO_Lukan says:
*Verall*: Aye sir, on my way.

Host CO_Linard says:
Jenia: Well, I'm not sure I approve of the way you stowed away on my vessel, but if you seek refuge here then you are more than welcome. I do ask, however, that you let your grandmother know where you are.

SO_Kerlan says:
::looking decidedly unsatisfied:: SO: Lieutenant Bern? Can you tell me why I was called away from my study of chrioptic mating dances?

CMO_Naegle says:
*EO*: I'll be waiting.

FCO_Terman says:
::satisfied that he has everything under control, Jordan opens up a game of Centipede::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::looks to Jax again unassuredly:: CO: I'll tell her ... but only if you promise not to turn me over to her. I know she'll try to take me back and I don't want to go. I'm tired of being cooped up on Betazed, what I really want to do is see the universe, like my father did.

EO_Tana says:
::slips inside Sickbay, trying to control his impulse to bolt successfully:: CMO: Doctor Naegle? Where's... ::spots Emma:: …oh. ::approaches the biobed, frowning at the gunk covering her::

XO_Storal says:
::sits down in the command chair and taps his combadge:: *CO*: Sir, we have brought the  Cyanite vessel onboard and it is secured. We are proceeding to Trevan at maximum warp.

CMO_Naegle says:
EO: Hello Ensign, I'm sorry for making fun of you … but you sounded like a proud parent.

Host CO_Linard says:
::smiles:: Jenia: Of course ... on my ship, everyone has their own free will and you are no exception.

CEO_Yeung says:
::exits the turbolift upon arriving at the bridge, and heads over to the engineering console::

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: We came across a Cyanite vessel. ::points across the room, where a security team has gathered for preliminary scans::

EO_Tana says:
::shrugs:: CMO: Maybe a little protective, that's all. Do you have a specimen jar for the … uh … specimen?

Host CO_Linard says:
Jenia/Jax: If you'll excuse me, I need to head to the bridge. Miss Prue, please contact your grandmother as soon as possible.

SO_Kerlan says:
::blustering:: SO: You what? That's... ::looks:: …so that's what they look like on the outside. ::drifts toward it::

XO_Storal says:
FCO: What’s our ETA to the Trevan colony?

Host CO_Linard says:
::begins to walk toward the doors::

Host Jenia_Prue says:
::nods:: CO: I will Captain.

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods::EO: Sure, I can get one out of my lab. ::starts to walk toward the lab.

SO_Bern says:
::blinks, didn't know anyone could change their entire demeanor quite that quickly:: Kerlan: You sound like you know more about the Cyanites than I do.

FCO_Terman says:
::minimises his game of centipede for a second:: XO: Just over one hour, Commander.

Host CO_Linard says:
::smiles and nods at the pair as she leaves::

SO_Kerlan says:
::looks at Bern oddly:: SO: Lieutenant, when someone has swum through your nether regions, even your Bible says you 'know' them.

CMO_Naegle says:
::goes into the lab, eyeing the experiment that T'Wan has working on and grabs a specimen jar.

SO_Bern says:
::cringes ... and decides he'd just better leave that one alone:: Kerlan: So, what can you tell me?

XO_Storal says:
::nods in acknowledgement towards the FCO and begins to sift through the department reports::

CEO_Yeung says:
::runs a diagnostic on the sensors to track down what Jax did with them::

EO_Tana says:
CMO: All right. ::barely notices her move away as he starts to wipe the gunk off Emma::

FCO_Terman says:
::sighs as the centipede, only two segments long, reaches down and destroys his little ship::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks back into sickbay with the jar:: EO: Here you go, Kavli.

SO_Bern says:
::takes out his tricorder and gives the torpedo-like ship a few sweeps::

Host CO_Linard says:
*XO*: Captain to the Bridge.

CEO_Yeung says:
::grunts as he spots the problem:: Self: I wonder where Jax learned to make a dampening field.

EO_Tana says:
CMO: You'd better hold that … right here. ::points to the spot under a casing on Emma's side:: Emma: Open specimen locker 2, please. Slowly.

XO_Storal says:
*CO*: Storal here, go ahead sir.

EMMA says:
::turns her head to look back and slides open a small case on her side, rolling her shoulder forward to expose it::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: As EMMA opens up her inerds, the body of the Cyanite traveler leaks out and into the jar along with a substantial amount of the liquid medium.

SO_Bern says:
::kneels down close to the Cyanite vessel, and scans slowly, searching for the power supply, curious as to why it's powered down::

Host CO_Linard says:
::pauses as she forgets what she was going to tell him:: *XO*: Never mind, Commander...

FCO_Terman says:
::grins as he kills a spider that crawled across the screen, remembering the Cyanites pets::

CMO_Naegle says:
::caps the top of the jar quickly:: EO: That was lovely, I'll have the lab get to work on it right away.

SO_Kerlan says:
::walks closer, tempted to touch:: SO: They're small ... and glowed, so they're bioluminscent. I don't know if they do it through a symbiotic bond with bacteria like most do, however. They had no way to communicate that I could hear … the medium, gunk really, was too thick. Might have been electro-chemical.

Host CO_Linard says:
::enters the turbolift and heads to the bridge::

XO_Storal says:
::a puzzled look crosses  his face:: *CO*: Aye sir, Storal out.

Host CO_Linard says:
*CEO*: Captain to Commander Yeung.

CEO_Yeung says:
*Jax*: Mister Burta, Commander Yeung here. Could you turn off the dampening field over your quarters, now that you've got nothing to hide. It's against the safety regulations.

EO_Tana says:
::nods:: CMO: Sure ma'am, no problem. ::again distractedly:: Do you mind if I clean this stuff off Emma here? I don't think the captain would like footprints in her ship.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: Yes Captain?

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::grimaces while he is cleaning some glasses:: *CEO*: Which one? I mean ... aye sir.

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: I see. That'll help a little... ::eyes widen a bit, as Kerlan seems eager to examine the craft hands on:: ...I believe the power supply is damaged. ::peers around the side of the vessel, and points toward what appears to be the aft section::  It's hard to tell without understanding the engineering of the thing, but that seems to be the case.

Host CO_Linard says:
*CEO*: Is there any way to get rid of that dampening field around the Fort?

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Contact the Trevan colony and inform them of our arrival time, also get a status on the outbreak.

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: EO: I don't mind at all Ensign, go ahead.

CEO_Yeung says:
*Jax*: All of them, and please don't do it again.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: The Apache arrives in orbit of the Bajoran Trevan Colony.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: Jax should be removing them as we speak, Captain.

SO_Kerlan says:
::leans over and shrugs:: SO: I don't know anything about anything without a pulse. But if there's more in this thing, we need to get them out. You're not getting any kind of rhythmic signature?

FCO_Terman says:
::closes down his game and opens a communication channel to Trevan:: COM: Colony: Trevan colony, this is the Apache coming to save you from the measles. We've arrived in orbit. What is the status of the ... outbreak?

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: None whatsoever. I take it that the Cyanites don't exactly project the kind of lifesigns we're usually looking for?

Host CO_Linard says:
*CEO*: Good ... and by the way, restrict his access to that kind of work for the time being. ::exits the turbolift onto the bridge::

EO_Tana says:
CMO: Thank you, ma'am. ::pats Emma on the shoulder again, instantly regretting it with the sticky smack as his hand hits the gunk:: Emma: Come down to the floor and follow me. ::leads her further into the sickbay toward the small patient showers::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks into the lab with the body in a jar:: Mrandle: Ensign Tana just brought this in from the Cyanite vessel they've encountered.  I need the body identified.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CO*: Will do, Captain.

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at Storal and nods:: FCO: What's our status, Mister Terman?

CMO_Naegle says:
::calling out:: EO: No problem, Ensign.

XO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Storal to Naegle, we are in orbit of the  Trevan colony. Are the supplies ready?

CEO_Yeung says:
::begins implementing the restrictions and several security programs to ensure no one does this again::

SO_Kerlan says:
::shakes his head:: SO: None we're familiar with, I'm betting. But I didn't have a tricorder with me when I met them first. ::frowns:: But we would be able to detect something, that much I'm sure of. ::brings gen hand to gen face and frowns again:: Are we allowed to open it?

MO_Mrandle says:
CMO: I'll do my best, Doctor.

FCO_Terman says:
CO: We're in orbit, we can go down any time.

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: Yes Commander, the supplies are ready.

Host CO_Linard says:
::nods:: FCO: Acknowledged. XO: Commander, take an away to the surface...

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: Well, he didn't say not to. ::shrugs:: I guess I should probably ask first.  

XO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Excellent Doctor, prepare the supplies for immediate transport and meet me in transporter room one.

EO_Tana says:
::makes Emma stand in the shallow shower and turns on the water, not wanting to risk the sonic shower with her electronics:: Emma: You're very dirty… ::shakes his head and takes the lathering sponge and starts to wash the robot down::

Host CO_Linard says:
XO: I take it Doctor Naegle has her supplies ready?

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: Aye Commander, I'll be there quickly.

SO_Bern says:
*CO*: Bern to Captain Linard.

XO_Storal says:
::nods in acknowledgement:: CO: Yes Captain.

SO_Kerlan says:
::mutters something like 'sure' but carries on his visual inspection, occasionally closing his eyes to try to recall the internal structure in his mind::

CMO_Naegle says:
Mrandle: You have your orders.

XO_Storal says:
FCO: Mister Terman, you’re with me.

MO_Mrandle says:
CMO: I do, and I'll follow them.

CMO_Naegle says:
*Karl*: Doctor Karl, report to sickbay for duty.

Host CO_Linard says:
*SO*: Go ahead Mister Bern.

MO_Karl says:
*CMO*: Yes Doctor. ::yawns::

FCO_Terman says:
XO: Me? Wha... ::decides to not ask what use he'd be and just agree:: Certainly. ::gets up:: *V'Taran*: V'Taran, your presence is needed on the bridge.

XO_Storal says:
::enters the turbolift and heads for transporter room one:: *CMO*: Storal to Naegle, prepare innoculations for the members of the Away Team.

SO_Bern says:
*CO*: I hope I'm not interrupting anything, Captain. Doctor Kerlan and I would like to open the Cyanite craft, in order to examine the components. I thought it best to ask permission first.

EMMA says:
::obediently raises each of her legs so she can be washed underneath:: EO: Disrepair. ::looks up toward the sonimitters::

CMO_Naegle says:
::begins gathering the supplies:: *XO*: Yes Commander, I'm on it.

FCO_Terman says:
::is in the turbolift with the XO before it leaves::

CMO_Naegle says:
::prepares the hypopsrays for innoculating the crew:: *XO*: How many on the team, sir?

Host CO_Linard says:
*SO*: Is there any other way to examine the ship? They live in a very unusual enviroment. I'd hate to disturb it.

XO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Three … plus any of your staff that you are bringing.

CMO_Naegle says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.

SO_Bern says:
*CO*: We haven't been able to gather too much from conventional scans. ::eyes the Doctor carefully, and lowers his voice somewhat:: And Kerlan seems somewhat ... eager.

XO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the transporter room::

EO_Tana says:
::holds out the sponge to Emma who reaches up to grab it:: Emma: Hold this... ::stands up and pops the repair plate and notices the emitter linkage is loose and tightens it before smiling back down at her:: EMMA: Hey, you work…

SO_Bern says:
*CO*: Oh yes, and the power supply appears damaged too.  Maybe one of the engineers can do something with it.

Host CO_Linard says:
*SO*: Very well then, proceed … but I want a high level forcefield erected around the shuttlebay.

CMO_Naegle says:
::gathers the supplies and puts them in her medkit, then motions for Nurse Lorat to accompany her as they leave sickbay for the turbolift::

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Tana, Yeung here. How was Emma's performance on her first field mission?

SO_Bern says:
::glad that was incentive enough to take the vessel apart, as he is admittedly becoming rather curious himself:: *CO*: Thank you Captain, Bern out.

XO_Storal says:
*CO*: Sir, we are ready and are standing by for transport.

Host CO_Linard says:
*XO*: Very well then, Commander. Good luck.

CMO_Naegle says:
TL: Transporter Room 1.

EO_Tana says:
::covers the plate back:: Emma: Log that. ::taps his badge, stepping out of the shower stall:: *CEO*: As far as I can tell she functioned perfectly, Commander. I was about to download her records into the ship's computers.

SO_Bern says:
::walks over to the shuttlebay computers, and erects the forcefield as the Captain ordered:: Kerlan:  We're allowed to open it. Can we manage it ourselves, or do we need to call an engineer?

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::relives the transporter operator on duty as he steps into the room:: XO: I understand you're heading to the surface...

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Excellent, I look forward to your report. Yeung out.

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the transporter room with Nurse Lorat::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the high energy forcefield snaps into a place, a noticeable humming fills the shuttlebay.

XO_Storal says:
Owens:Yes we are Chief, do you have the coordinates?

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: I've brought one nurse with me, Commander. This is Nurse Lorat Sole.

SO_Kerlan says:
SO: Short of kicking dents in it till we open a hole, I don't know… ::cocks his head and listens::

Host CO_Linard says:
::flops down in her chair hoping the medics in sickbay have extra antigen for the synthetic t-cells if it becomes necessary again::

Host TRChief_Owen says:
::nods:: XO: Yes sir, I'm going to beam you down right into the center of their central marketplace. ::glances at the officers:: All: Try not to catch the measles...

EO_Tana says:
::grins back down at the robot:: Emma: Come on, let's go back to Engineering. ::makes his way out of sickbay faster than in::

XO_Storal says:
::nods to the nurse:: CMO: Very well, start the innoculations so we may begin transport.

FCO_Terman says:
CMO: No extra encouragment needed here.

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Aye sir, you first…? :: holds out the hypospray::

XO_Storal says:
::holds out his arm:: CMO: I hate hyposprays… ::chuckles::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks over at the CEO:: CEO: How is Mister Tana doing with Emma?

CMO_Naegle says:
::innoculates the XO:: FCO: Mister Terman … next?  ::swaps out the cartridge in the hypospray::

XO_Storal says:
Owens: Excellent … energize.

FCO_Terman says:
::shrugs and moves over to get his shot::

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to the captain:: CO: So far Emma's doing pretty well, and no problems have been found. Ensign Tana will be providing me a more detailed report later.

SO_Bern says:
::nods, satisfied that there shouldn't be any difficulty with containment:: Kerlan: Somehow, I think they'd have a problem with that. ::walks back over to the ship::

CMO_Naegle says:
::innoculates the FCO, then herself and Lorat so they can get going in a hurry::

Host TRChief_Owen says:
XO: Aye sir … energizing. ::initiates transport::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: The Away Team is beamed from the Apache's transporter to the very center of the Trevan Colony. They materialize next to a fountain which depicts a Bajoran hero fighting back against a pair of Cardassian soldiers. The fountain provides a gentle mist which washes over them.

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Good, it's an excellent piece of work. I don't doubt Starfleet will want to speak with Mister Tana about building these for other starships.

EO_Tana says:
::ignores the smiles and questions of the other engineers as he leads the robot back into Engineering as he sits down at the main station:: Emma: Download your records from time index 313 to 720. ::sets the computer to Recieve::

FCO_Terman says:
@::looks around at the colony, which is nearly identical to when he left it::

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical at first, but if everything goes well Emma will be pretty helpful later on. ::grins::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: As the Away Team looks around the central marketplace of the Colony they see not a single person, not a single animal, not even fruit in the marketplace shelves. Not a living thing is readily observed.

Host CO_Linard says:
::smirks:: CEO: I should send her schematics to my father on Betazed ... he's an engineer too, he'd love to see her.

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns serious:: CO: So ... how did things go with Jax and Jenia?

SO_Kerlan says:
SO: So we need an engineer then? ::risks it finally and touches the craft, running his hand over the dark surface::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::grabs her medical bag close to her, hoping she remembered everything::

XO_Storal says:
@::glances at the statue as a grin crosses his face, but quickly changes as he looks around::

FCO_Terman says:
@::has an eerie feeling come over him, rememberhing how busy it was before, and seeing phantom images of people going about their business:: XO: Where is everyone...

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: This is a bit odd, isn't it sir?

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Well, she's adament about staying with him. Turns out he's her father.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Doctor, scan for lifesigns.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: As Kelan runs his hand over the surface of the craft the humming from the forcefield stops, and the top of the 'torpedo-like' vessel pops open revealing an intricate inner working vagueless reminiscent of an antique doll house in its detail.

XO_Storal says:
@FCO: I don’t know Mister Terman … there should be at least thirty to forty families in this area.

SO_Bern says:
::looks it over a last time, and sighs:: Kerlan: That'd probably be the thing to do.  I don't see anything that resembles an entrance ... and from the size of the Cyanites, I doubt there entrance would give us much of a look into things. ::decides to send a message to Ensign Tana, since he's at least familiar with the craft and Bern:: *EO*: Bern to Tana, are you busy at the moment?

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: Aye sir… ::sets her tricorder to scan for lifesigns::

CEO_Yeung says:
::eyes widen in surprise as he scratches his chin:: CO: Oh ... uh ... not much family resemblance.  I guess that explains a few things.

FCO_Terman says:
@XO: I know. ::heads over to the nearest building and looks in::

SO_Kerlan says:
::reaches back and grabs Bern's uniform jacket:: SO: Don't be so hasty...

Host CO_Linard says:
::smirks:: CO: Resemblence no, but she's got a lot of his genetics...

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Oh? Like what?

Host CO_Linard says:
::stares right at him:: CEO: Did you know she's forty-seven years old?

XO_Storal says:
@COM: Apache: Storal to Apache, sir we have transported down. But there are no signs of life in our immediate area. 

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Anything Doctor?

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Are you sure Commander?

SO_Bern says:
::blinks as the hatch on the top of the craft flips open:: Kerlan: Okay... ::bends over slightly and tries to peer inside:: *EO*: Nevermind ... I'll contact you later if we need you. Bern out. ::taps his combadge::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::shakes head:: XO: Nothing concrete, sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
::drops his jaw, letting it hang for a few seconds, then closes his mouth::

Host CO_Linard says:
V'Taran: Mister V'Taran, scan the area surrounding the Away Team. Are their any lifesigns nearby?

SO_Bern says:
::scratches his head:: Kerlan: Have you ever seen one of these things?

CEO_Yeung says:
CO: Well ... she certainly looks good for her age.

XO_Storal says:
@::begins to walk down the courtyard looking for any bodies or signs of activity:: COM: Apache: Yes sir, there is no one here.

FCO_Terman says:
@::arrives at the house he was headed for and opens the door, looking in::

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::looks at the sensor readings:: CO: Negative Captain, no signs of life at the Trevan Colony.

SO_Kerlan says:
SO: Only from the inside ... what do you suppose they need an external hatch for? These things are spaceworthy. Maybe it's for egress into a larger form, like Bajiian Monkfish larvae returning to their father's anus for safety?

XO_Storal says:
@COM: Apache: Perhaps the coordinates were wrong.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: The door comes off its hinges in Terman's hands and falls to his feet skinning his left knee on the way down. The room it opens to is empty and smells terribly musty.

Host CO_Linard says:
::is about to answer the CEO but pauses as she hears the FCO, slowly comes to her feet::

FCO_Terman says:
@Self: Ouch! It's like no-one was ever here.

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: Umm… ::just looks at the Doctor a moment::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::still scanning, and finding nothing:: XO: I'm still not getting anything, sir.

XO_Storal says:
@All: The council room is down the walkway a  bit, perhaps they are there.

Host CO_Linard says:
::turns back to the CEO:: CEO: Mister Yeung, can you check to make sure we're at the Trevan colony?

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan:  Something like that, I guess ... is possible.

SO_Kerlan says:
::glad you agree:: SO: So ... who gets to stick their hands in?

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
::looks back at the Captain somewhat insulted:: CO: I assure you Captain, my astrogation is not in error. This the Trevan Colony, the Rolor Nebula is .02 parsecs away.

FCO_Terman says:
@XO: Yeah … maybe. ::thinks that it will be empty, just like every other house::
 
CEO_Yeung says:
::checks and turns to the Captain:: CO: Confirmed sir, we are at the Trevan Colony.

CMO_Naegle says:
@::walks with the rest of the team, making sure that Lorat stays with the group::

SO_Bern says:
Kerlan: Ahh ... why don't you, since you're more familiar with them? ::smiles innocuously::

Host CO_Linard says:
::looks at V'Taran apologetically:: V'Taran: Yes, I'm sure your calculations are correct. I'm just thinking out loud today... ::takes a seat as she thinks for a moment::

XO_Storal says:
@All: This is absurd, the measles couldn’t have spread this fast. There would be bodies lying around if that was the case.

SO_Bern says:
::looks at the strange medium that fills the Cyanite capsule, and cringes slightly, taking a step back::

FCO_Terman says:
@::in his mind, Jordan hears the sounds of the colony from his last visit:: Self: Stop playing tricks on yourself.

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: Would you like me to scan for ... bodies, sir?

SO_Kerlan says:
::rolls his eyes:: SO: You Starfleet scientists, I swear all you're good for is gracing magazine covers. ::frowns and takes his tricorder out and opens it, kneeling over the hatch and pearing closer before sliding his hand and tricorder inside slowly::

FCO_Terman says:
@XO: It's like someone came and took them, like the measles were just a cover up.

XO_Storal says:
@CMO:Yes, do a full area scan. They have to be somewhere.

Host CO_Linard says:
CEO: Check the sensor logs, did we pass through any kind of spacial anomaly on our way here?

XO_Storal says:
@FCO: Well, I hope that the Cyanite vessel in the area was only a coincidence.

CEO_Yeung says:
::checks the sensor logs for anything out of the ordinary::

CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods:: XO: Aye sir. ::adjusts her tricorder to read for bodies::

SO_Bern says:
::only folds his arms and waits patienly, not letting the doctor's comment get to him::

FCO_Terman says:
@::the XO's commment registers in Jordans mind and he immediatly looks for spiders::

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: How are things going down there, Commander? We haven't detected any lifesigns what in or around the colony.

Host CO_Linard says:
*SO*: What's your status, Mister Bern?

CMO_Naegle says:
@::begins scanning:: XO: Sir, the colony is surrounded by mountainous regions which are difficult to scan due to high levels of magnesite oar in the rocks.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: Nothings changed sir, no signs of life or struggle here. I think the Cyanites may have paid the colonists a vist. But I have no way to confirm or deny that speculation.

SO_Kerlan says:
::brings his arm and tricorder out, wiping the screen off to look at the readings::

XO_Storal says:
@CMO: Do you think they could have fled to the mountains?

SO_Bern says:
*CO*: Doctor Kerlan discovered a hatch of some kind on the dorsal side of the craft ... or maybe the ventral, I'm not sure. ::shakes his head::  Anyway, he's taking readings of the interior now.

CMO_Naegle says:
@XO: It could be, but in the areas I'm able to scan, nothing is detected.

FCO_Terman says:
@XO: I doubt it, they were quite fond of their colony.

XO_Storal says:
@::arrives at the council chamber and opens  the door:: All: Well, let’s see if anyone is home.

Host CO_Linard says:
@COM: XO: Interesting theory Commander, but if there's nothing down there then perhaps you should return to the ship.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: As Storal opens the door to the council chambers their is the very faint sound of electricity sparking and crackling in the room. Again it is filled with the same musty smell and is completely devoid of people or bodies ... or even furniture. There is a lump of something under a tarp on the ground in the cener of the room.

XO_Storal says:
@COM: CO: We are checking out the council chamber, Captain.

SO_Bern says:
::peers toward Kerlan's tricorder, trying to see what he may have found::

FCO_Terman says:
@::eyes the tarp, both afraid and curious about whats under it::

XO_Storal says:
@::unholsters his phaser and points it at the tarp::

Host CO_Linard says:
COM: XO: Understood, let me know what you find.

XO_Storal says:
@::whispers:: FCO: Lift the tarp…

CMO_Naegle says:
@::aims her tricorder at the tarp to see what it might contain::

FCO_Terman says:
@::moves forward slowly::

SO_Kerlan says:
::frowns:: SO: No pollutants, or much of a charge in there. Or at least as far as I can tell.

SO_Bern says:
::narrows his eyes, as he had gotten engrossed in the examination of the capsule he hadn't noticed that the forcefield's humming had ceased … walks over toward the computer panel::

FCO_Terman says:
@::grabs an edge of the tarp and pulls it back quickly::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
ACTION: As Terman pulls aside the tarp they find themselves staring down upon a severed metallic head which stares back at them like a cyclops through its one large eye. It is immediately recognizable to Storal who recently read a report on this creature ... and even more recently sent it to investigate the Cyanite vessel. It is EMMA.
