USS Apache - 10503.11 - "Desert Crossing", Part I

The USS Apache is stranded... at the border separating the Alpha quadrant and Gamma quadrant, she has lost her starboard nacelle, her one and only warp core destroyed... no shields... no weapons... significant casualties on all decks...

... the XO has been changed... killed by the CO, she is not quite so dead... what happened?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Solkar says:
::Tries to pull damage reports at a console in engineering::

OPS_Ryushi says:
::sitting at his desk in the Operations office on Deck 3, looking over a stack of PADDs::

ACTION: The XO rests in sickbay... she tries to speak, but she cannot... it is not that her brain is prohibiting her from doing so... she feels herself... losing herself... slowly but surely...

CO_Storal says:
::pacing the bridge::

XO_Naegle says:
::in sickbay in a biobed::

MO_Turok says:
::In sickbay waiting on the CMO's orders regarding the XO::

EO_Running_Horse says:
::working on the ODN conduit in Jefferies Tube N-97::

CMO_Powers says:
::lying on a biobed moaning to anyone who will listen about the pain he's in::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: at his console trying to get some systems working ::

CNS_Solaa says:
::reclining in her chair on the Bridge, obviously very frazzled::

OPS_Ryushi says:
Ops_Vial: Chief, take these, ::hands him a PADD:: to Captain Storal.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Sir you are going to wear out the deck.

CO_Storal says:
*CTO*:Give me some good news Joshua..

ACTION: In main engineering, in a dark corner, lies the body of Dr. Podan... he is unconscious, and failed to wake up after the Event...

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Are you sure we don't have any stronger painkillers?

OPS Vial says:
OPS: What are they, sir?
MO_Turok says:
::Walks over to the CMO: CMO: Ok enough already. Remember I have a bed that tells me how much it hurts.

OPS_Ryushi says:
Vial: They are the damage reports he requested.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Life support is fully functional, that’s about it.  And sir about what I said earlier...

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: I think we're cursed, sir.

ACTION: On a monitor next to the XO, her neural activity can be seen to decrease, all the way to minimal levels...

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I had direct orders to hide the bottles of..."painkiller".

CO_Storal says:
::puts up a hand to stop the CTO:: CTO: It's ok  Joshua. You did what you had to do.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: I don't think it quite does the pain justice. This really really hurts.

OPS Vial says:
OPS: Aye, sir.  ::exits the Ops office::

CO_Storal says:
CNS: I'm beginning to agree with you. Are you ok?

Nurse Hayes says:
CMO: You're not in pain, Doc.  I've seen worse where I come from.  Get up and go back to work!

Nurse Hayes says:
::walks over and checks the XO:: MO/CMO: This one's going downhill fast gents, what are we to do?

CEO_Solkar says:
::Taps Commbadge:: *Sickbay*: Sick bay can you send a team to engineering Dr. Podan is here and unconscious.

CMO_Powers says:
Nurse: Quiet you! Or would you rather work double shifts for the rest of your life?

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Aye sir:: reaches into the console and tries to check the isolinear interface ::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: No. I'm not okay. But that's okay because I'm dead already. This is some kind of limbo. I'm just waiting for it to end.

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Up you go, we apparently have some work to do.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: You didn't get those orders from Ryn did you?

OPS_Ryushi says:
::goes back to his PADDs::

CO_Storal says:
::chuckles:: CTO: Unless you meant it.

OPS Vial says:
TL: Bridge

CNS_Solaa says:
::takes a deep breath::

CMO_Powers says:
Nurse: Considering she was dead an hour ago, I'd say she's doing remarkably well.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: grins :: CO: Well maybe that one part...

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Or we're in Hell... although, I heard it would be hotter than this...

OPS_Ryushi says:
*CEO*: Good Evening, Ensign.

Nurse Hayes says:
CMO: You think?

CO_Storal says:
CNS: Well we aren't dead yet. As long as we have a shot. We are going to take it. Why don't you head on down to Sickbay. Im sure they will need your help.

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I was told under threat of death not to divulge the source....Sir.

CMO_Powers says:
::slowly sits up, making sure everyone knows how much it hurts:: MO: Any suggestions on the XO?

CO_Storal says:
CNS: I’ve been thru hell. This doesn’t compare Ryn. ::grins and tries to make her feel better::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Sir the computer core and accesses seem in tact for the most part, power seems to be the problem

CEO_Solkar says:
*OPS* : Good, don't know about good... do you have a team working on the shield emitters?

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Start with brain scans and worked down?

Nurse Hayes says:
CMO: Pull the plug?

ACTIONS: LRS show several vessels approaching at extremely high speed, several minutes away from the Apache... their speed clocks at higher than warp 9.999...

CNS_Solaa says:
::nods:: CO: I need to compose myself... I'm the damn counselor after all... ::takes another deep breath:: Okay! ::seems to feel better and smiles:: Now, what's our status?

CEO_Solkar says:
*Bridge*: Best speed is full impulse.

CMO_Powers says:
Nurse: I think we'd better go with the MO's idea. MO: What are you standing around for? Get to it.

Nurse Hayes says:
::shrugs:: CMO: Okay.  What do you want me to do?

CO_Storal says:
CNS:Ryn...don’t worry about it. We all have those days. We are up a creek without a paddle at this moment.

CO_Storal says:
CTO: Well at least the ships brain is intact. Now we need to get her moving.

CMO_Powers says:
Nurse: Help the MO.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: shakes his head :: Aloud: Oh no.  CO: Captain I have incoming contacts, speed better than....warp 9.999

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Aha! I got it! ::snaps her fingers:: Before I can get judged... I have to complete this mission... a final test!

CO_Storal says:
::walks over to the CTO:: CTO: Well at least we know we aren’t alone...

Nurse Hayes says:
CMO: Whatever you say, Doc.  MO: So, where shall we start?

CEO_Solkar says:
::Tries rerouting power to shields and weapons before jumping into the jeffries tubes::

CO_Storal says:
::chuckles at the CNS:: CNS: Whatever gets you thru Ryn. I need you to go down to sickbay and help out there.

CMO_Powers says:
Nurse/MO: I'd help but my back really hurts. Did I mention it hurts?

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Sir physically the XO is in very fine shape, Physically I'd release her now, but the problem is elsewhere.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Neither was General Custer sir  :: tries to get some of the shields up ::

Nurse Hayes says:
CMO: Want me to crack it for you?

CNS_Solaa says:
::turns back to the CO:: CO: Okay, I'll be in Sickbay then. ::smiles and walks towards the TL, almost... cheerfully!::

CMO_Powers says:
Nurse: Keep away from me. MO: Ship her off to the CNS?

ACTION: The vessels drop out of warp... three, to be exact... unlike anything in the Starfleet database; the ships circle the Apache with an almost fluidity to their motions, to their hull... as if their ships were little more than wisps of mist... each one a massive construct...

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Instead of your back how about we crack a bottle....later.

Nurse Hayes says:
::smiles sweetly:: CMO: Aw, come on, Doc.  It would make you feel better.

CNS_Solaa says:
TL: Sickbay!

OPS_Ryushi says:
*CEO*: I'm locating the crew members now...

CMO_Powers says:
MO: Sounds good to me. Nurse: I think someone needs your assistance at the other end of the ship.

CEO_Solkar says:
*OPS* Thanks OPS.

MO_Turok says:
CMO: I'd bring the Ryn down here sir. I case the XO takes a worse turn.

Nurse Hayes says:
CMO: Who might that be, Doc?

OPS Vial says:
::arrives on the bridge:: CO: Chief Vial reporting for Lieutenant Ryushi, sir...

MO_Turok says:
CMO: Later sir, after we fix up the XO.

CMO_Powers says:
Nurse: Ens. Runaround

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Sir three of the contacts have dropped out of warp and are circling us, they don't show up in the database

CNS_Solaa says:
::exists the TL and walks down to Sickbay::

CO_Storal says:
Vial: Acknowledged Lt. Take your post.

Nurse Hayes says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CMO: I think you're trying to get rid of me, Doctor.  Why is that?

ACTION: A loud cacophony of voices fills the corridors and bridge of the Apache...

OPS_Ryushi says:
::walks to the CO and hands him the PADDs::

CEO_Solkar says:
*OPS*: I'm gonna need a team on the phaser conduits too.

CO_Storal says:
CTO: Well if they wanted us dead they would just put us out of our misery ::takes the PADDS::

CMO_Powers says:
*CNS*: Can I see you in sickbay urgently.

CNS_Solaa says:
::enters Sickbay:: ALL: Okay! I'm here! The fun can start now.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
OPS: I show the power relays for the shields are completely blown, do you have an estimate on how long before we can get them repaired

CMO_Powers says:
Nurse: Why would I do a thing like that?

Voice says:
::booming, deafening...... :: Crew: EXPLAIN YOUR PURPOSE IN OUR SPACE...

CO_Storal says:
::winces as he hears the voices::

CEO_Solkar says:
::Checking battery power the ship has::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: blinks eyes from the sound ::

Nurse Hayes says:
::covers ears at the sound::

CEO_Solkar says:
:: Uncovering ears, what was that I think to myself::

ACTION: The ships slow their circling, as they begin to converge on the Apache; the ships merge together, with the Apache in the centre of the mass...

Nurse Hayes says:
All in Sickbay: What the devil is that?

OPS Vial says:
CO: Damage Report from the Ops Department, sir... : Starboard nacelle is missing.  the Warp core is lost, shields are at minimum, weapons are gone, and we’re running on minimal power.

MO_Turok says:
CMO/Nurse: What is that...sound?

CO_Storal says:
Voice: I am Capt. Storal of the Federation Starship Apache. We were brought here in an accident. We come in peace.

CMO_Powers says:
MO: You know the pain in your ears now... nothing compared to how much my back hurts.

CNS_Solaa says:
::walks over to the CMO:: CMO: Oh, honey... you really need to sit down... ::leads him over to a chair:: Turok and I can handle everything... just take it easy.

Nurse Hayes says:
CNS: Perky aren't you? And why do you think you're dead?

OPS_Ryushi says:
::hearing voices, gets up and runs for the TL::  TL: Bridge!

CO_Storal says:
Vial: I want any and all damage control personnel on duty and working their perspective tails off to repair the ship.

CNS_Solaa says:
Nurse: Because there is no way we can be alive!

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: We're not dead you know. I don't think dead hurts this much. This really hurts. ::sits down::

Nurse Hayes says:
::feels herself:: CNS: I'm alive.  I don't know about you.

CNS_Solaa says:
Nurse: But if we complete this mission and get out okay, our souls can be judged.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Sir we are not completely enveloped inside their ship

OPS_Ryushi says:
::arrives on the bridge and relieves Vial at Ops 1::

Voice says:
::a pause...:: CO: THAT IS NO EXCUSE. YOU WILL BE BOARDED, YOUR SHIP APPROPRIATED BY THE QA'MATA- ::suddenly, the voice goes silent...::

CNS_Solaa says:
Nurse: Then we can get to wherever we're going. ::smiles::

Nurse Hayes says:
CNS: Okay, you are a weird one. No matter, why don't you come and help me with the XO.

CO_Storal says:
CTO: When it rains it pours...

OPS_Ryushi says:
::thinks to himself... the Qa'Mata...::

CNS_Solaa says:
Nurse: Always happy to help!

ACTION: An echoing is heard across the bridge, as there is silence from the mysterious voice... the Apache is now completely enrobed in the mist of ships...

CO_Storal says:
Voice: I wish to speak with your leader or leaders. Im sure you will see that we are incapable of harming you.

MO_Turok says:
CNS: Ok Ryn Time to do your magic. The XO is in excellent health, yet she's not responding.

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Really? What's on her monitor?
Voice says:
CO: ... THERE ARE HUMANS AMONG YOU.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: All available personnel are being assigned to the Engineering Department under Ensign Solkar for damage control, sir.

CO_Storal says:
Voice: Yes we have humans in our crew.

ACTION: Silence... as the mist of ships begins to move, carrying the Apache with them...

Nurse Hayes says:
::walks over to the XO with the CNS::

CEO_Solkar says:
*Sickbay*: Dr. Podan is still on my floor, I can't be jumping a body every two minutes.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Sir, our crew, in fact, ::pulling up the roster:: is made up of approximately 20 % human, 10 % Vulcan.... ::lists all percents for each species in the crew::

Voice says:
CO: ... WE WILL TAKE YOU TO OUR HOMEWORLD. OUR LEADER WILL WISH TO SPEAK WITH THE HUMANS AMONG YOUR PEOPLE.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Sir we are moving with them.  Either guests or prisoners

MO_Turok says:
CNS: It looks like she never even took a hit from a phaser.

CO_Storal says:
CTO: Probably both...

ACTION: The mass begins to pick up speed... as the Apache is propelled into what appears to be a quantum slipstream analogue...

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Hmm... ::looks down at the XO::
CNS_Solaa says:
MO: No burns?

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Vital signs are still good, though?

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Sir... we appear to be... ::checks his console again:: We appear to be traveling in some sort of Quantum Slipstream...

CO_Storal says:
Voice: Very well. I look forward to meeting with them.

MO_Turok says:
CNS: None.

MO_Turok says:
CNS: Vitals are excellent.

CO_Storal says:
All: To say that we are outclassed here in every category is a major understatement.

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: That is weird...

Nurse Hayes says:
*CEO*: Hold your horses laddie, we'll get to him in a minute.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
CO: Speed is increasing, not warp but something else...wish I had paid more attention in my quantum physics class at the academy

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: I would suggest a cardiac jump, but since her heart is goo-- oh! What about neural activity?

CO_Storal says:
CTO: It was overrated.. all I ended up with was a major headache. ::grins::

ACTION: As the mass of ships heads for wherever they are headed, blurred figures can be seen rapidly passing through the ship itself... like shades, they travel through the corridors, paying no heed to the Apache itself...

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Sir, our general direction would indicate that we are being taken toward one of the systems in this area...  Attempting to get more specific information...

CEO_Solkar says:
::Notices teams that have recently report for repair detail on my duty padd and route them where they're needed.::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: looks at the ghost like crew :: CO: If this ship we are in is called the 'Flying Dutchman' I want extra pay  :: smiles ::

MO_Turok says:
::Scans for neural activity::
CO_Storal says:
::chuckles at the CTO::

ACTION: Though the MO conducts his scan... there is virtually *no* neural activity whatsoever...

CEO_Solkar says:
::thinks Hooo Boy, what is passing through here?::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Seven planets total in the system; four are inhabitable.  Three are gas giants... and the star is very similar to Earth's own Sol in composition and in age.

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Can you tell which planet we are heading to?

CEO_Solkar says:
:: Checks the shield output potential::

OPS_Ryushi says:
::looks up from his console to see translucent beings floating around::

MO_Turok says:
CNS: Activity is almost nil.

Nurse Hayes says:
MO: Like I said, pull the plug.  She's a pretty girl though.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Sir, intruder alert!

ACTION: A voice, in main engineering... and a blur... approaches the CEO...

Nurse Hayes says:
MO/CNS: Does she have any family?

CO_Storal says:
OPS :Whets the location?

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Not yet, sir...

CEO_Solkar says:
::Petrified::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Er... everywhere, throughout the ship... ::gestures to the ghost-like beings::

Shade says:
::approaches the CEO...:: CEO: YOU CLAIM PARTIAL DESCENT TO HUMANS.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: tries to find exactly where the intruder is:: CO: Confirmed sir

CEO_Solkar says:
Shade: I do.

CO_Storal says:
OPS: Turn off the alarm. There is nothing we can do about them. We are just along for the ride.

CNS_Solaa says:
::gasps:: MO: Oh my God... okay, get me a neural jumper quick!

CO_Storal says:
All: Well it appears that they are interested in humans.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Aye... ::turns off the alarms::

MO_Turok says:
::Hands the CNS a jumper::

CEO_Solkar says:
::Taps combadge:: *bridge*: Its here!

Shade says:
CEO: ... FROM WHAT ANCIENT LINE OF EARTH DO YOU CLAIM DESCENT?

CNS_Solaa says:
::places the jumpers on the XO's temples:: MO: Count of three... one... two... three!

ACTION: The mass of ships begins to slow down... the stress is noticeable on the Apache...

CO_Storal says:
::taps his combadge:: *CEO*:What is there?

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Sir, hull stress has increased noticeably::

CEO_Solkar says:
Shade: Celts, why?

CO_Storal says:
Voice: Please be tender with our vessel. We are severely damaged.

CEO_Solkar says:
*bridge* Our inquisitive intruder.

CO_Storal says:
*CEO*:Do not interfere with the entity. Cooperate in any way.

CEO_Solkar says:
*CO*: I am.

MO_Turok says:
::Rescans for neural activity::

Shade says:
CEO: ... A NOBLE LINEAGE. DO YOU HONOUR YOUR ANCESTORS?

CEO_Solkar says:
*Bridge*: You should be able to raise shields to help take pressure off the hull, but I'd check with the misties first.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::hearing the CEO:: CO: He May be right, sir...

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: Anything?

Host Shade says:
CO: WE SHALL ARRIVE SHORTLY. THE DAMAGE TO YOUR ARK WILL BE MINIMAL. PREPARE FOR CONTACT.

CEO_Solkar says:
shade: I honor all culture.

CO_Storal says:
::nods to OPS:: Voice: We are going to raise our shields in an attempt to lessen any damage.

CO_Storal says:
OPS:Anything more on our destination?

OPS_Ryushi says:
::raises the shields at the CO's nod::

Host Shade says:
CEO: WE SHALL MEET AGAIN. ::fades away...::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Not at the moment, sir... although I can deduct from the previous message that we will arrive shortly.

Host Shade says:
CO: THAT IS AGREEABLE. WE HAVE ARRIVED!

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: monitors the shields systems  ::

CMO_Powers says:
MO/Nurse/CNS: Any luck?

ACTION: With a flash, and darkness... all of the senior staff are whisked away... they find themselves on a desolate world, darkness around them, save for small bulbs of light spread out across the landscape...

MO_Turok says:
CMO?CNS: No reaction at all...nothing.

CNS_Solaa says:
MO: I would say negative on that one, Turok... where the hell are we????

CEO_Solkar says:
*CO*: It's gone sir, just faded.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
:: looks around :: Aloud: This is getting old

CO_Storal says:
::looks around:: CTO:I agree. But its not like we can do anything at the moment.

MO_Turok says:
CNS: Did she happen to save her mind like a Vulcan?

ACTION: Shade-like wisps circle the senior staff... the XO appears as well, on the ground...

OPS_Ryushi says:
::instinctively reaches for his phaser with one hand and tricorder with the other::

MO_Turok says:
ALL: What ...... where are we?

Nurse Hayes says:
::looks around:: All: What in the world happened?

CMO_Powers says:
MO/Nurse/CNS: This is strange.

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Sir, I am reading neural activity inside these... wisps.

ACTION: A shade materializes... it moves to the CO... observing him... before moving onwards... to the CTO:: CTO: YOU ARE HUMAN.

CO_Storal says:
OPS:I think it is safe to say that they are sentient.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
Shade: Yes I am, I am Seminole

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: Also, sir... these atmospheric readings are... exactly the same as on Earth.

CEO_Solkar says:
:: checking the ole tricorder readings::

ACTION: The wisp further compacts, forming a humanoid figure of a sort... a man, approximately 40-ish, enrobed in a dark-colored cloak... expressionless face...

CO_Storal says:
OPS:I think that these beings were humanoid once. Possibly human..

CEO_Solkar says:
:: Eyebrow tries to raise but those muscles don’t work so they both go up::

CNS_Solaa says:
::stares at the approaching figure::

OPS_Ryushi says:
CO: I do not know, sir... These neural readings bear no resemblance to anything in the database.

Host Gol says:
CTO: ... It is agreeable to see Humans once again, after all this time.

CO_Storal says:
OPS:That doesn’t surprise me.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
Gol: How long have you traveled without seeing humans?

ACTION: Several other wisps materialize as well, forming humanoids similar to Gol in build, but distinct in facial appearance...

CO_Storal says:
::puts his hands behind his back and observes what is going on::

CEO_Solkar says:
under breath: Wow.

Host Gol says:
CTO: ... The Qa'Mata has always existed here, since the beginning of time. By Human reckoning, we last made contact approximately 3500 years ago. An insignificant period of time. And yet you are now here in our home.

CTO_Grey-feather says:
Gol: What tribe of humans did your kind last contact?

ACTION: The humanoids approach the crew, all observing the crew... humans and non-humans alike... several of the humanoids grip onto the non-Humans and begin to drag them off to the side...

CNS_Solaa says:
Aloud: I don't remember this in the Summon Book... are these my Ancestors?? ::is perplexed::

Nurse Hayes says:
Gol: Hey! What are you doing to the fine crew?

CEO_Solkar says:
aloud: Where are you taking them?!

Host Gol says:
CNS: You are Trill... you are NOT dead, foolish girl.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::stands solidly as the beings attempt to drag him away::

CNS_Solaa says:
::is startled:: Gol: How'd you know I'm a TriII???

Host Gol says:
CEO: They do not belong here; this is a holy place. ::turns back to the CTO::

CMO_Powers says:
Gol: Ignore her, she's crazy.

CO_Storal says:
::he does not resist as he is being pulled to the side:: All: Cooperate fully with these beings.

CNS_Solaa says:
::gives the CMO a nasty look::

CMO_Powers says:
CO: But they might try to probe us.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::looks at the CO doubtfully, but cooperates::

Host Gol says:
CTO: They were called as we were... they adopted the name of the Qa'Mata, as we were...

CNS_Solaa says:
Gol: Aha! "Holy Place" huh? We ARE dead!

CTO_Grey-feather says:
Gol: So you are the spirits of the Qa’Mata or have your race evolved

CEO_Solkar says:
CNS: We are quite alive.

CO_Storal says:
CMO:I doubt it. They are interested in you. Not us.

CNS_Solaa says:
::notices the other things trying to touch her:: Things: Oh, hey... no touchie... okay, stop... ::swats at them::

Host Gol says:
CTO: ... Established cities, in correspondence with the Qa'Mata empire... Memfesta... Gizeh... Sekaris... Also known as the Kemet Empire, in time... are you familiar with it?

Host Gol says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: You will not be harmed.

CEO_Solkar says:
Aloud: Memphis, Giza... Egypt?

ACTION: The humanoids drag all the non-humans towards what appears to be a massive chamber of some sort...

CO_Storal says:
Gol:I know. I am not worried. Just trying to settle the fears of my crew.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::takes as many readings as he can on the tricorder whilst being dragged by the arm:: Being: That is not necessary.  ::wrenches his arm away and walks peacefully next to it::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
Gol: I believe I have heard of the Kemet, they were what we call Egyptians.  My tribe comes from the other side of the planet

CNS_Solaa says:
::starts to struggle with the things:: Aloud: Ouch! Hey! Don't touch me! ::yells at Gol:: Gol: Hey you! Tell your friends to get their paws off me!

CMO_Powers says:
Being: I'm human... honest... I just got a tattoo.

Host Gol says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: We began and expanded the Kemet empire... in time, the name was corrupted... you now know of that mightiest of empires by its corruption from the Achaeans... Indeed, Aegyptos... or, as you noted, Egypt, Half-Human.
Host Gol says:
::glares at the CMO:: CMO: Silence.

MO_Turok says:
::Looking for the best opportunity to fight back::

ACTION: The non-humans are dragged into the chamber; sealed... inside, a vast oasis... with food and drink...

CO_Storal says:
::looks around the chamber::

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Damn humans get all the fun!

Host Gol says:
CTO/CEO: It pleases me greatly that you remember the Kemet. Tell me, what has become of them?

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: While we get all the food and drink.

CEO_Solkar says:
:: glances to CTO to see if he'll field this one::

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: So? They get all the information !

CO_Storal says:
All:Well if you are hungry. Eat up and get some rest. I’m sure we will find out what is going on shortly.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: So? We get all the food and drink.

OPS_Ryushi says:
::scans a piece of food as he picks it up::  CO: It appears normal... edible, sir.  I am not certain, however.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: But whatever... ::sits down and eyes the fruit basket next to her::

CTO_Grey-feather says:
Gol: They still have descendants on Earth.  They are still proud...they are called Egyptians now

Host Gol says:
::sighs:: CTO/CEO: Regrettable. They have forgotten their past.... But no matter. Humans have no returned to us... this is a day of celebration, one which will be remembered for many years - the day when humans rejoin the Qa'Mata Empire...

Host Gol says:
