PROLOGUE: The crew of the Arondight find themselves on Ke'Po Vor while the Arondight undergoes some scheduled maintenance. The entire senior staff has been given leave to relax aboard the station before they head back out in pursuit of answers to all the questions that have been building.

<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>

CSO Tarrez
 ::works from the bridge to prepare some probes to launch::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::on bridge going over maintenance reports, watching the worker bees move around on the viewscreen::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: sits back in one of the chair in station OPS an looks over the sensor logs yet again:: Himself: This is thrilling

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::finishes up going over the supply reports and checks the latest finding from the computer diagnostics.::

CNS Kostandinos
 ::heads for the docking port on the Arondight, anxious to get back to the station and see what she can dig up::
   
CEO Day
 ::sits at the bar of one of the station facilities...wondering how many personal settings and tweaks the maintenance crew is undoing and estimating how long it'll take to get them back in...:: 

CSO Tarrez
 CO: Captain I have the probes ready to launch when I get the clearance from you.
 
CO K’Beth
 CSO: Go ahead...and then get out of here for some R&R. ::grins::
     
Waitress
  ::eyes the CEO's empty drink::  CEO: Another suga'?

CNS Kostandinos
 ::exits the ship, through the airlocks and onto Ke’Po Vor, and almost immediately sees two large, familiar faces::  Rafi/Little Tom: You two don't miss a trick, do you?

CSO Tarrez
 CO:  Aye ma'am. ::launches the probes::
   
CEO Day
 Waitress: You need ask?  ::looks askance and holds out the empty glass:: 

CMO Jakiel
 ::sees to Kizlev as he falls asleep in her bedroom, feeling ill from the effects of the Venus drug and a viral infection, then leaves her quarters for a short trip onto the station after dragging a string along for Midnight to play with::

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: Captain. All needed supplies have been loaded and the last check on the computer show it to be in full working order. If there is nothing else I need to pick up some personal items on the station?

Waitress
 CEO: No hun, but I prefer the conversation.  ::fills up the glass::

CNS Kostandinos
 <Rafi>: We figured we'd better make sure we found you as soon as you got here... all that time on this starship of yours, it could make you soft, you might get into trouble ::grins as the three of them head toward the Promenade::
 
CO K’Beth
 OPS: Good work, Lt.  Have fun while you are on the station.

CSO Tarrez
 ::makes sure that the probes are running the program she set and then calls for a replacement::

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: I will try Captain. :: walks to the TL::

CMO Jakiel
 ::exits the Arondight and heads for the arboretum where she has yet to visit, quite interested in checking over the unique flora from Vidoli she heard grows there::
   
CEO Day
 ::looks at the waitress suspiciously::  Waitress: I'm quite sure you're the first woman to ever express interest in conversing with me...most want nothing to do with talking...although admittedly a small few have simply wanted nothing to do with me. 
     
Waitress
 CEO: A small few?  I would have lost that bet.  ::smirks::

CSO Tarrez
 CO: Probes are away.  Will you be leaving for the stations soon too?

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::exits TL and heads for some of the stores on the station::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: gets up from the terminal and gets ready to head back to the ship.  ticked that he has wasted so long staring at a screen.  Picks up his rifle and heads out in the station ::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::shrugs:: CSO: Possibly.  I need to check in with the station commander and the Irati.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::with Rafi and Little Tom a step behind, enters the Black Widow and is thankful to see nothing has changed much since she still ran it.  Gets a few surprised hello's from familiar patrons::  Rafi:  So nothing quite so interesting since the last time the Arondight was here, huh?
   
CEO Day
 ::scowls::  Waitress: You like taking pot shots huh...seems like everyone's idea of a good time these days...  ::trails off nostalgically:: 

CMO Jakiel
 ::happens to look over at the bar and decides to stop for some refreshment first.  Walks into the entrance and thinks she sees the new CEO::  CEO:  Lieutenant?
     
ACTION: The station is particularly busy this day, commerce on the upswing since the Arondight arrived in the sector and people began to feel safer.
   
CEO Day
 ::looks up, curious as to who is calling for him::  CMO: Oh...Doc, what's up? 
     
Waitress
 CEO: It's a hobby.  ::brings him a bowl of mixed nuts::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::finds what appears to be a kind of pet shop and enters it::

CNS Kostandinos
 <Rafi>CNS: No...  no ships blowing up, no Cardassians ::hisses the word more than pronounces it:: attacking the boss and starting bar fights, no kidnapping...  ::gives her a Look:: I like it this way.
     
Waitress
 ::eyes the approaching woman and thinks she doesn't seem like the drinking type::
   
CEO Day
 ::munches some nuts:: 

CSO Tarrez
 CO: Have fun. ::smiles and heads for the turbolift::

CMO Jakiel
 CEO: I was on my way to the arboretum, but found myself needing something to drink.
     
ACTION: As OPS enters the pet shop, the animals all seem to wake and start making various noises, vying for his attention.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::grins at the two large brothers:: Rafi/Little Tom:  Where's your sense of adventure? ::goes back behind the bar and into the office, wanting to get her research started::
   
CEO Day
 CMO: Ah...well, it's a decent enough bar, I'm sure they've got something for your tastes.  My friend here...and I use that term loosly, since she seems to find it fun to harangue me...can probably help you out. 

Waitress
  ::hand on hip, gives the CMO a look that says she feels personally insulted::

CSO Tarrez
 ::rides the lift down and heads for the station::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::hears the sounds and tries to ignore them:: Shop Owner: Do they do this with all the customers?
 
CO K’Beth
 ::stands up and decides to hand carry the reports to the station commander.:: Duty_OPS: You have the bridge. ::limps to the turbo lift and heads to the airlock, Dog following solemnly behind her::
     
Shop Owner
 OPS: Oh yes.  They can sense you are one they could trust to take good care of them.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::gives the bar's books a quick look, seeing as how she still owns the place, regardless of who's managing it, and raises one eyebrow:: Little Tom:  Ummm...  who is this Jack Daniels character, and why does it look like we have been buying 3 of him every month?

CMO Jakiel
 :: 'touches' the waitress momentarily to see her emotional state, then looks back at the engineer questionably, wondering what interpersonal problems the two are having::  Waitress:  Would you bring me an betaberry juice?  ::looks back at Day::  CEO: There are other establishments of this type here that you might try.

OPS Ko’Bil
 <NoDuz>CO: Aye Captain. :: starts to get a little nervous::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: watches the people on the promenade as he walks through it ::

Waitress
 CMO: Sure thing, hun.  ::turns to the CEO:: CEO: And you.. you just think 'bout what you've been sayin.  ::she goes off in search of the juice::

OPS Ko’Bil
 Shop Owner: That may be true however I only came in to buy a a new collar for my cat.

CEO Day
 CMO: Yeah, but the seat's comfortable...and she keeps the glass full....that's all I really need. 
     
Shop Owner
 OPS: Very good, very good.  What kind were you interested in?

CSO Tarrez
 ::moves onto the station and heads for the closes f

CNS Kostandinos
 <Little Tom> ::takes out a padd and jots down his answer:: CNS: It’s not a person, it's a type of alcohol...  Terran in nature, apparently.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::limps out the airlock and wanders along the promenade watching the people and looking in the shops::

CNS Kostandinos
 ::isn't convinced, seeing as how she'd never heard of it, or had ever had anyone ask for it:: Little Tom:  Okay, so why are we stocking it?

CMO Jakiel
 CEO:  Then I hope that you can reconcile with her.  ::watches the waitress move away to fill her order::
   
CEO Day
 CMO: She closes store that she thinks will have a good gift for her husband.'>
   
CEO Day
 CMO: She'll come around...they usually do. 
     
Waitress
  ::returns and starts to hand the drink to the CMO::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::looks around:: Shop Owner: That pink one up there should do quite fine thank you:: Points to the one that he indicated::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: almost bumps into his CO:: Aloud: Hey watch it....CO: Uh sorry captain, ma'am :: snaps to attention ::
     
Shop Owner
 ::retrieves a step stool and moves it over to reach the indicated collar::

CNS Kostandinos
 <Little Tom> ::looks a bit uncomfortable - pauses for a moment as if to think, then writes on the padd again:: CNS: Your daughter is a fan of it.  ::sees the look on Ashlynn's face, quickly yanks the padd back and adds a quick explanation:: CNS: The synth version, of course....
 
CO K’Beth
 ::stumbles back a little after running into what she thought was a wall and then looks up:: CTO: At ease, Lt...before you hurt yourself.  I'm fine.

CMO Jakiel
 CEO:  The arboretum...I was planning on visiting there. I used to be the science officer on the USS Geneva.  I have heard the conservatory holds representatives of the Vidola flora.

CSO Tarrez
 ::sees something in a window and goes inside to have a closer look at the artwork::
     
ACTION: As the waitress sets down the drink, it topples and falls off the bar heading for the floor, brightly colored juice flying everywhere.  Then is just stops in mid air, the droplets of juice hanging in the air.

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: comes to at ease :: CO: Sorry captain, been staring at sensor logs all day, guess I am a little 'punchy' :: tries to grin ::
     
ACTION: The Shop Owner freezes in mid reach for the collar and all of the animals in the shop fall silent.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::doesn't believe him for an instant - Rafi might keep Adrienne on a short leash but Little Tom would let her get away with murder:: Little Tom: I'll deal with her later.  ::stands up and goes out to the bar to find Rafi, and then go meet Ozz and Ton::
 
CO K’Beth
 CTO: Did you find anything?

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::looks around wondering what's happening::
     
ACTION: Little Tom and Rafi stare silently and motionlessly back at Ashlynn.
   
CEO Day
 CMO: Ah...one of those pretty-flower types...seen too many flowers destroyed by photon grenades and biological weapons to stop and find them pret....what the hell? ::looks down at the glass, then cocks his head sideways:: 

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Just that the old earth adage that staring at a video screen too long makes your eyes hurt  :: rubs eyes :: ma'am
     
ACTION: All over the station, everything stops... every person, animal, every object.. with the exception of the senior staff from the Arondight.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::looks around the bar to find that people have stopped moving - snaps her fingers in front of the brothers' faces:: Rafi/Little Tom: This some kind of welcome-home prank?

CMO Jakiel
 ::hears the glass topple and turns her head quickly, reacting to try and catch the glass, then touches the juice droplets, totally amazed::
   
CEO Day
 ::taps the mid-air glass:: 

CSO Tarrez
 Owner: Excuse me can you tell me how much that piece is in the win... ::stops when she notices that they have all frozen in place::
     
ACTION: The glass doesn't move.

CSO Tarrez
 Self: What's going on? ::pulls out her tricorder and takes some readings of the people in the store and the store itself::

CMO Jakiel
 ::reaches to bring her tricorder up and survey the glass and juice, then taps her commbadge::  *CO*:  Captain, we have a phenomenon!

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::walks out of the shop and sees that no one is moving and wonder why he is still able to move::

CNS Kostandinos
 ::goes out into the main area of the promenade, searching for anything that moves - and doesn't find much.  Across the way sees another establishment with some movement in it and goes in, seeing the CMO and CEO::  CMO: I swear, this has never happened here....
   
CEO Day
 CMO: Now I can't finish my drink!  ::indignant, as it sits on the bar as immobile as any other:: 

CSO Tarrez
 *CO*: Captain... something is going on here.  And my tricorder is not working.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::notices something strange and looks around seeing everyone frozen:: CTO: Lt?
 
CO K’Beth
 ::limps over to the nearest person and waves her hand in front of the man's eyes to no avail:: *CMO*: Yes Doctor...I can see that.

CMO Jakiel
 CEO: Mr. Day, I would advise you do something more useful than complaining.  Do you not notice what is occurring?

CSO Tarrez
 ::heads out the store to see if it is like this everywhere::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::looks around and sees that they are in front of the restaurant::  *All*: There seems to be something going on.  All officers report to my location in front of the restaurant.
   
CEO Day
 CMO: I notice that my drink is now frozen in time Doc...I'm fully aware of how desperate the situation was...it was only my second... 

OPS Ko’Bil
 :: tapes his commbadge:: *All*: This is Lt Ko’Bil can any one hear  me?

CMO Jakiel
 CNS: I have...  ::stops what she was about to say::  ....this is quite unusual.  *CO*:  Is the freezing of time occurring around you?

CNS Kostandinos
 ::throws a withering glare in the CEO's direction, then turns to listen to Rhianna::

CEO Day
 ::doesn't whither:: 
 
CO K’Beth
 *CMO*: Yes doctor....report to my location. ::tightly:: I have a feeling I may know what this is.
   
CEO Day
 ::hops down off the stool::  CMO: My drink better be there when we get back... 

CSO Tarrez
 ::moves towards the restaurant::

CNS Kostandinos
 CMO: Glad someone does...  of all the crazy things that have happened at Ke’Po Vor, this takes the cake.  ::starts to walk out of the establishment and toward the CO's location::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::starts heading back to the ship to see if this is happening aboard the Arondight as well::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: readies his rifle and scans the now frozen crowd :: CO: Tell me it is my eyes and that the whole station didn’t just freeze up ma’am
 
CO K’Beth
 *OPS*: Lt...commbadges seem to be working.  Contact the duty ops on the Arondight and see if this has spread to the ship.

CMO Jakiel
 *CO*:  Yes Captain.  We will be there as soon as possible.  CEO/CNS: The tricorder is not working either.  Let us hope our ship is not affected.  ::starts walking back::

CO K’Beth
 CTO: Yes they did Lt.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::turns around looking everywhere:: Loki: All right Loki...what is this all about?
   
CEO Day
 ::follows behind the Doc and CNS:: 

CNS Kostandinos
 ::reaches the CO just as she says the name, and looks at the CMO, confused:: CMO: Loki?

CMO Jakiel
 ::feels thoroughly irritated with the chief engineer's lack of common sense and wonders greatly about the efficiency of engineering::

OPS Ko’Bil
 *CO* : Aye Captain.:: taps commbadge again:: *Noduz* : Ensign this is Lt Ko`Bil please come in.

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Ma'am why are you calling for a long dead Terran God?  Don't Klingons have some of their own?
 
CO K’Beth
 ::still looking around:: CNS: A certain entity, Counselor, that likes to play games.  I'm not sure exactly what he is but this is definitely his style.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::taps the commbadge and tries again::

CEO Day
 CO: Sounds more like a Q to me...  ::quite suspicious:: 

CMO Jakiel
 ::listens to the others digesting the information and how it may apply to their situation.  'gods'...aliens with more powers than they...::

OPS Ko’Bil
 *CO*: Captain I am not getting any response from the ship.
 
CO K’Beth
 CTO: That's what the entity calls himself.  And the Klingons killed their gods....they were more trouble than they were worth. ::grins tightly::

CMO Jakiel
 ::moves a few steps back and 'focuses' on sensing any exceptionally strong auras::
 
CO K’Beth
 *OPS*: Understood Lt.  make your way back here as soon as possible.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::keeps her mouth shut about the gods, any from back home on Risa would not be appropriate for polite conversation::

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::grins :: CO: That explains a great deal, on both subjects

OPS Ko’Bil
 *CO* Aye Captain on my way. :: heads to where the captain is::
     
ACTION: As the OPS officer nears the rest of the senior staff there is a chill breeze in the air and they notice the station starting to fade away.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::looks around, eyes widening, briefly reminded of the Pit Ardvey-style holograms::
   
CEO Day
 Well there goes any hope of getting my drink back...::frowns:: 

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::shivers as he approaches the rest of the senior staff::
 
CO K’Beth
 All: Everyone hold tight and don't react to anything.  ::stands still and folds her arms waiting for whatever else Loki does::

CSO Tarrez
 ::stands around the group and looks around... observing the station starting to fade::  CO: captain..?  ::There is uneasiness in her voice::

CSO Tarrez
 ::nods to the CO::

CMO Jakiel
 ::almost wishes she did 'find' something unusual as this quiet and stillness is incredibly eerie.  Shivers at the cool touch of the wind and gasps slightly as she watches her surroundings fade out::  *TO*:  Kizlev, you need to wake!
     
ACTION: As the station fades away it is replaced by a large lake nestled in the valley between high mountains.  The mountains are topped with snow, but the valley is fairly moderate, the green grass rolling towards the hills.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::sees the station start to fade:: CO: Captain, You have any ideal what is going on?

CSO Tarrez
 ::thinks how much this looks like Switzerland::
   
CEO Day
 All: Well, we're either in one of the best holodecks I've ever seen...or we're suddenly somewhere else entirely. 

CNS Kostandinos
 ::looks around:: All:  Apparently, someone must've read the orders for R and R and taken them a bit too seriously.....

CSO Tarrez
 ::Tries her tricorder again::
     
ACTION: The cold chill in the air brings with it the scent of snow and fir trees.
 
CO K’Beth
 OPS: It's all right Lt.  Just an old 'friend' playing a few games.  ::looks around:: At least these surroundings are nicer than the last ones.

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: looks around and thinks this would be a nice place to put up a house for him and Elizabeth ::

CNS Kostandinos
 ::folds her arms across her chest, starting to feel really, really cold::

CMO Jakiel
 ::is very glad to have brought her medical supplies and a few extra scientific equipment.  Looks around warily at the peaceful setting, trying to catch any unusual movements.  Remembers the tale her cousin Joanna told her while on the Arondight and waits to see whom might appear::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::chuckles at the CNS::

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: An old friend Captain? :: looks questioningly at the captain::
     
ACTION: Suddenly there is a water spout jetting up from the lake.. it slowly begins to take on a form.. 

CSO Tarrez
 ::vaguely remembers some of the stories she was told once coming aboard the station::
 
CO K’Beth
 OPS: I believe this is the work of an entity called Loki.  We've met up with him before. ::sees the water spout and starts to wave everyone back from the bank::

CMO Jakiel
 ::decides some of these particular crewmates use the word 'friend' in a very strange manner::
   
CEO Day
 ::taking the opportunity for a pot-shot::  CNS: Bit nipply out here isn't it? 

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Captain if the temperature keeps dropping we will need to find someplace for shelter

OPS Ko’Bil
 CO: I believe I read something about him in the ships reports and the last thing I would call him is friend.

CSO Tarrez
 ::as she backs away some, she puts her tricorder away as it still isn't working::
 
CO K’Beth
 CTO: I agree...but hopefully we won't be out here much longer. ::indicates the form in the water spout:: Get everyone away from the shore, Lt.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::for the moment, wishes Rafi and Little Tom were here, thinking about how they had broken several ribs for comments less provocative than that - looks him up and down:: CEO: Try growing up on a tropical planet, and see how you take to cold.

CMO Jakiel
 ::holds out the tricorder in anticipation as she watches the water reform::
     
ACTION: The water forms into a figure, a man looking down at the crew and smiling, a joke in his eyes.

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: sees the spout coming and takes a position at point to protect the CO ::
   
CEO Day
 ::simply grins...waiting to see what transpires with the entity:: 

CNS Kostandinos
 ::glares at him again, and turns to watch the figure::

CO K’Beth
 ::stands with her arms crossed and looks calmly up at the figure:: Loki: Long time no see.  ::looks around:: Would you care to explain all of this?

CMO Jakiel
 ::places her hands on her hips, seeing the mischief in the alien's eyes and demeanor, awaiting to see what he has in mind, then glances around to see whom all of the crew is there::

CNS Kostandinos
 ::shivers, annoyed that now that this Loki has revealed his prank, he still doesn't see fit to make it a bit warmer::
      
Loki
 CO: Did you think you had gotten away from me, Captain?  Gone somewhere where I could not follow?

CSO Tarrez
 ::takes it all in with as much detail as she can for later analysis::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::grins and shrugs:: Loki: One could only hope, Loki.  But obviously I was wrong.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::watches the man in the lake  and thinks that the captain call this person friend::

CTO Grey-Feather
 Himself: Well got to give this guy credit he can sure make an entrance
      
Loki
 CO: I couldn't let my favorite friends move away so easily.   ::looks around:: Ah, I see a few new faces.

CMO Jakiel
 ::raises an eyebrow, never liking to be noticed and stays quiet, tricorder still in hand::

CSO Tarrez
 ::when his eyes falls on hers she doesn't break her gaze... waiting to make him do it first::
      
Loki
 ::glides down on the wind towards where the others are standing.  Lands near the CTO, CEO and CNS::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Is this guy always this annoying?
      
Loki
 ::glares at the CTO:: CTO: Now now, let's not get insulting.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::glares at Loki - she was cold enough but he had to go bring the wind when he came near them::
 
CO K’Beth
 ::steps towards them:: Loki: Yes there are...leave them alone, Loki.  You've already proven your point last time.
 
CO K’Beth
 ::holds up a hand to the CTO to stand quiet::

CMO Jakiel
 ::starts to consider if this entity could be affected by any of her medicines::
      
Loki
 ::turns to the CO::  CO: My point.. no, I believe that was your friend Mr. Rhian.
   
CEO Day
 ::watches curiously:: 

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::watches Loki and wishes that he had brought along a Phaser::

CTO Grey-Feather
 Loki: Your right the night is young...:: stops when the CO holds up her hand ::
      
Loki
 CO: How is he anyways?  Did you have to put him down?  These replacements seem fairly inferior.

CSO Tarrez
 ::glances around to take in stock what she has available to her, but doesn't respond as per the CO's order::

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: clenches fists and Loki's remark ::
 
CO K’Beth
 Loki: You've already caused the death of several of my crew, plus the young officer from the station.  That's enough for anyone.  Let them all go.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::eyes widen a little - she figured he was some kind of prankster but hadn't realized this person's misdeeds had actually killed anyone::

CSO Tarrez
 ::somehow doubts he is willing to do that just now::
      
Loki
 CO: As you wish.  ::he bows::

CMO Jakiel
 ::feels irritation with this meddlesome alien and his insults, finding yet another with little sense and hopes they are 'allowed' to return to the Arondight shortly.  Her initial fear of this being has disappeared::
      
Loki
 ACTION: Loki and K'Beth disappear in a flash of light.

CSO Tarrez
 ::doesn't like the sounds of that threat::

CNS Kostandinos
 CO: Captain!  ::as K'Beth disappears::

CSO Tarrez
 CO: ::yell out and rushes towards where the CO stood:: Captain!

CMO Jakiel
 Self:  No!

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::sees the captain and Loki disappear and wonders what is going to happen now::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CO: Captain!! ::curses to himself, not again::

CMO Jakiel
 ::walks over to the lake and reaches down to touch its surface, testing::

CSO Tarrez
 Loki: I demand you bring her back now!
   
CEO Day
 One would think after so many centuries of using humanoids as toys...these omniscient beings would be tired of us and move on to tormenting someone else... 

CNS Kostandinos
 CSO: Is that tricorder of yours working yet - did you get anything on the disappearance?  ::thinks::  And who is this character anyways?
 
CO K’Beth
 <Dog> ::sniffs the area where the Captain was last and then sits down and howls heartbreakingly::
     
ACTION: Suddenly the crew find they each have ancient weapons.. swords and shields, or bows and arrows..  the CTO has a large double headed axe

CTO Grey-Feather
 :: hears the CEO:: CEO: Let me guess were the guy that used to write the messages inside the fortune cookies

CSO Tarrez
 CNS: No the tricorder isn't working.

CSO Tarrez
 ::notices the weapons::  All: Everyone drop your weapons... now.

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::sees what he has just been given and thinks my god what is going to happen now::

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::staggers back to get his balance and compensate for the sudden weight in his hands :: Aloud: What in the heck...???
     
ACTION: There are ripples on the lake... slowly getting larger and larger

CEO Day
 CSO: You must be joking...I highly doubt whatever materializes next is going to care whether we're unarmed. 

OPS Ko’Bil
 :: sees the ripples:: CSO: I don’t believe that dropping these weapons is a good ideal.

CSO Tarrez
 ::starts to move farther back::  All: Just like the CO said... don't respond to him... he is playing with our minds.

CNS Kostandinos
 ::looks toward the water, and the CMO who had touched its surface::  CMO:  Rhianna you may want to step back....

CMO Jakiel
 ::stands after finding the water to be liquid and almost drops the bow that appears in one hand.  Reaches up to touch the strap that holds the quiver of arrows over her shoulder.  Wants desperately to speak warn Kizlev, then notices the ripples splashing the water onto her boots as they grow::
   
CEO Day
 ::draws his sword lightly across the top of his hand:: 

CSO Tarrez
 All: If we take action against that... thing we might just be taking action against the Captain

CTO Grey-Feather
 ::turns to face the ripples :: CSO: I don't thinks its our minds he wants to play with commander
     
ACTION: Shapes begin to emerge from the water... figure of long dead warriors who obviously died without honor... now returning for yet another murderous spree.

CTO Grey-Feather
 CMO: Hey doc how do you kill something that is already dead? :: readies the axe and prepares for the worst ::
   
CEO Day
 CSO: My mind doesn't invent blood.  ::indicating the back of his hand which now has a small red line on it:: 

CMO Jakiel
 ::steps lightly backwards, bringing the bow up and retrieving an arrow, notching it, and drawing back, aiming at the nearest figure::

CSO Tarrez
 ::her breathing quickens as she sees what is befalling them::  All: ::softer::  Alright... defend yourselves... but no killing blows.

OPS Ko’Bil
 CSO: Cmdr. If what I read in the reports about this Loki we need to defend ourselves or we will be the ones dieing.

CMO Jakiel
 CTO:  Do not believe your eyes...
   
CEO Day
 CSO: No killing blows...yeah right, I'm sure they're fighting under those rules too.  ::hefts his sword and shield, testing their weight and gaining his footing:: 

CSO Tarrez
 ::picks up a shield and a light-weight sword::

CNS Kostandinos
 ::pulls up a sword and shield that are nearly as big as she is, the sword briefly reminding her of martial arts weapons::

CTO Grey-Feather
 CMO: Well I am not inclined to wait for my body to start telling me I am dying so my eyes are still high on my list of things to listen to :: starts moving to gain momentum for a first strike with the axe ::

OPS Ko’Bil
 ::readies the sword that he has to defend himself::

CMO Jakiel
 ::let's the arrow fly and immediately draws another, carefully sighting the next victim::

CSO Tarrez
 ::starts to recall all the training she did with K'Vas::
