Puzzled Part 7

Captains Log Star Date 10306.06 We have successfully recovered the Star Fleet Officer that has been stranded on the moon. A Hanthrosian vessel successfully docked in Shuttle Bay 1, commanded by a Lider Kor. I wonder what he wants.

Lider_Kor:
::stands there, in front of the CO and XO::

CTO_Peters:
::In Shuttle Bay 1 eyeballing the shuttle and remembering the Hanthosian weapon in her office.::

CMO_Mea`e:
@::On a shuttle, heading for the last coordinates given to her of the Artemis::

XO_Farrel:
::Had just finished introducing Lider Kor to the captain, stands waiting::

OPS_Mades:
::on the bridge finishing the update report for SFC::

Regnum:
::In sickbay sitting on the bio bed::

MO_Parks:
::Coming out of the back room is assailed by an unusual smell.  Her nose wrinkles as she looks around::

CTO_Peters:
::She steps away from the small group and begins a walk around the shuttle.::

Lider_Kor:
::awaits a comment, from either the CO or XO:: CO, XO : Well? Can you help us or not?

Regnum:
Self: Home, Home, Home....

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lidor Kor: Id like to welcome you to the Artemis, I am Capt McPherson-Quest. Would you like to follow my Executive Officer and myself to our Briefing Room?

Lider_Kor:
::nods:: CO : Very well.. I shall do so

MO_Parks:
::Seeing a very bedraggled individual sitting alone on a biobed, she slowly approaches him::

CTO_Peters:
::Quickly finishes her walk a around and nods to Murphy to get a much scans as possible.::

CEO_Russel:
::on the bridge at the ENG station.::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::turns to exit from the Shuttle Bay::

MO_Parks:
Regnum:  Can I help you?  ::Surprise in her eyes::

OPS_Mades:
::finishing the report, he works on the next task::  *CTO*: Hey Zoe.

XO_Farrel:
::Follows the captain, what more the Hanthrosians have to tell::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: I hope that you find the accommodations here on the Artemis to your liking

Regnum:
::still not used to civilization yet, sees the doctor arrive and reaches into her mind::

CTO_Peters:
::taps her combadge as she falls slightly behind the group, but not letting them out of her sight.::  *OPS*:  Yes Christian?

MO_Parks:
::Her eyes widen as she steps back::  Regnum:  Out...

OPS_Mades:
*CTO*: The Captain wanted me to do an equipment inventory from the away mission.  Did you all leave your equipment in the transporter room?

CTO_Peters:
<Security>  ::Continues to follow behind the Hanthrosian and Capt.::

CTO_Peters:
*OPS*:  Actually I still have mine with me.

Regnum:
::shocked by the forcefulness and remembers that it's not polite to reach into someone's mind:: MO: Sorry, Vic forget

CO_McPherson-Quest:
*CTO*: Mr. Peters, please wait in my Ready Room, I shall be there shortly

Lider_Kor:
CO: I can't stay very long..

CMO_Mea`e:
@::Looks down at her ETA::  Hmmm.... not much farther.  ::Stretches her arms  high, trying to relieve the stiffness of the long trip::

CTO_Peters:
::Looks up.:: CO:  Aye Sir...  hmmm Sir, I'm right behind you.  ::Grins::

Lider_Kor:
CO : They will become suspicious if I do not return shortly...

OPS_Mades:
::playfully:: *CTO*: Well that doesn't help much.  You got anything I can relieve you of, or are you in need?

Regnum:
MO: Vic Alone... long time

MO_Parks:
::eyes him carefully::  Regnum:  Vic?  ::Looks around the room for who might have brought him here::

CEO_Russel:
::taps his fingers on his console.::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lidor Kor: Why exactly do you need our help?

XO_Farrel:
Lider, CO: Perhaps we should talk here.... ::Looking around the corridor::

Regnum:
::places hand on chest:: MO: Me Victor Regnum

CTO_Peters:
*OPS*:  I'm still in need.  I've got the Hanthrosian still on board and I won't be comfortable until he is off ship.  He won't let us take a peak inside his shiny ship.

CMO_Mea`e:
@COMM: Artemis:  This is Dr. Mae`e.  Unless you go for a joy ride, my ETA is 10 minutes.

Lider_Kor:
CO : You have been made to believe that the Hanthrosians do not want to join the Federation...

Lider_Kor:
CO : That is not the truth to all the Hanthrosian people...

MO_Parks:
::nods her head slowly::  Regnum:  Hello Victor.  I am Sara.  How did you get here?  Where did you come from?

OPS_Mades:
*CTO*: Understood.  As soon as they leave drop your equipment off and log it in please.  I'm gonna go take care of the rest of the equipment.  ::as an afterthought::  And be careful.  Mades out.

Regnum:
MO: I come from moon

Regnum:
MO: Before I come from Artemis, long, long ago

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: Do you know why your government misleading us and your people?

Regnum:
MO: You tell them I Regnum, you tell them I me

OPS_Mades:
COM: CMO: Doctor, this is Christian.  I have you on sensors and will prepare a perch for you.

CTO_Peters:
::Raises eyes at his last sentence and a slight smile comes across her face.  She stops short of where the Capt., Kor and the XO are speaking.  She keeps a close eye on Kor.::

MO_Parks:
Regnum:  From the moon?  ::Sets the scans for betazoid::  Lets first see how you are doing.

XO_Farrel:
::frowns at the prospect of two sides in conflict over the Federation.::

MO_Parks:
::Glances over him again::  Regnum:  How long were you on the moon?

Regnum:
MO: Long, Long time, I no know for sure, Gltich know!

Lider_Kor:
CO: Why? No, I don't... What I know is that our Council decided on this course of action...

OPS_Mades:
::looks over the bridge to inform someone of the Doctor's approach and remembers that the Captain and First Officer are down with the guest.  ::shrugs and finishes the preparations::

CMO_Mea`e:
@COMM:OPS:  Thanks... I don't suppose you could have a pot of hot chocolate waiting?

CEO_Russel:
::hears the OPS' transmission.  Stands and heads to the turbolift.  Enters.::  Computer:  Deck 4.

Lider_Kor:
CO: Which in itself is strange... Since the Council of the Learned was the reason we started to Federation joining process..

OPS_Mades:
COM: CMO: Can do.

XO_Farrel:
::Flashes a warning look to the captain, the prime directive spinning in her mind.::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: I find this quite disturbing. What exactly do you want us to do to help?

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::gives the XO a knowing look back::

CTO_Peters:
::Pipes in.:: Kor:  Forgive me for eavesdropping... Is there a chance your government is under any undue influence?  Another Culture, Bacteria that alters their thinking as such?  And was the switch in thinking gradual or was it overnight so to speak?

Lider_Kor:
CO: The Council of the Learned is our highest Government authority... They are there to listen to the will of the people and to rule by it.

MO_Parks:
Regnum: Physically, you are in excellent shape.  A little low on iron, and calcium, but nothing detrimental.

OPS_Mades:
::having finished with the CMO's docking, including getting a crewman to bring the hot chocolate down, starts to head off of the bridge to finish the away team inventory.  Stops short as he realizes that the Captain put him in charge.  Looks around for someone to pass that off to and doesn't know what to do.  Slowly goes back to his station.::

CMO_Mea`e:
@COMM:OPS:  Your a life savor.  La'i out.

Regnum:
::nods:: MO: no milk

CEO_Russel:
::Exits the TL and walks to the Shuttle bay.::

XO_Farrel:
Lider: But in this matter, i take it they didn't rule for what the people wanted, joining the Federation?

Lider_Kor:
CO : But lately, the council has shut off from the people... Only last week, there was a rally(??) against the current Council... Something that has been unheard of in the last 2000 years on Hanthrosia..

OPS_Mades:
::shrugs and just decides to keep working::  *XO*:  Commander, the Doctor is inbound on a shuttle.  ETA  ::checks the screen::  Five minutes or so.

MO_Parks:
::Nods, noting Starfleet rags under the dirt... or the remnants of one.:: Regnum:  What whip were you from?

CTO_Peters:
::Absorbs what Kor is saying.::

Regnum:
MO: Artemis Home

Regnum:
MO: Vic home!

Lider_Kor:
XO : They did... At first.. As I said. They were the ones that passed the resolution to join the federation..

MO_Parks:
::almost drops her scanner::  Regnum:  Artemis?  This vessel?

XO_Farrel:
*OPS* Thank you, i leave the matter in your capable hands Mr. Mades

CEO_Russel:
::Enters the shuttle bay.::

Lider_Kor:
CO: These are our highest and most venerated scholars.. They do not change opinions without careful thought... And most of the times if they do, they explain their reasons to the people.

Glitch:
MO: Yes madam, 4 years and almost 3 months ago he was from here.

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: I'm assuming the people want to join the Federation, but for some reason the Council does not...interesting. I'd have to go along with my Tactical Officer; maybe an outside race is influencing their decision.

MO_Parks:
::Turns, and with a slightly shaky hand, pulls up the computer records of Victor Regnum::

Lider_Kor:
CO : This time, all our people have heard is silence. The Council has not addressed the planet for a long while now.

Regnum:
Glitch: ::ecstatically:: Glitch Wake!

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  Are you sure the council is still alive?

MO_Parks:
::Pauses and turns around::  Regnum/Glitch:  Huh?  What?

Crewman Lotho:
::enters the shuttle bay carrying a pot of hot chocolate and wishing he had brought something to protect his hands from the heat::

XO_Farrel:
Lider: Our prime directive forbids us to interfere in another cultures internal matters...unless a representative from that world were to make an official request? ::gives him a hopefull look::

Lider_Kor:
CTO : IT was not a sudden thing... This change has been occurring for a few months now...

CEO_Russel:
::turns and watches as Lotho enters the shuttle bay.::

CMO_Mea`e:
@::Rubs her tired eyes and putting the shuttle on autopilot, heads to the back to pull her gear out of storage and placing it onto the front seat::

Lider_Kor:
CTO : And as you well know, we have strict policies on Outsiders..

CTO_Peters:
::nods:: Kor:  Are you sure the people who are now making the decision is indeed your Council...

Crewman Lotho:
::shuffles the pot from one hand to another, allowing the empty one to cool::

Lider_Kor:
CTO : Well... Yes..

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  That maybe... but a parasite here... a virus there.. an unknown enemy...and once their minds are malleable.. the outside force steps in.

CEO_Russel:
::Grins and turns back to watch the shuttle ease towards the shuttle bay.::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: So you want us to find out who or whom may be behind this?

CMO_Mea`e:
@::Returning to her seat, she watches as a small white spec appears on her screen, quickly growing::

Lider_Kor:
CTO : You see, the decrees that rule our nation most be printed out for all to see... And they must also bare the voice signatures of the Council Members and their vote.

Regnum:
MO: ::points to Glitch:: This Glitch

Lider_Kor:
CTO : All of the recent decree's are genuine.

XO_Farrel:
Lider: Do the Hanthrosians have any enemies who would be capable of sabotaging the government?

Lider_Kor:
CTO : That was the first thing we thought of when things started changing..

Lider_Kor:
CTO : We have not been able to find anything out of the ordinary..

MO_Parks:
::Looks down at the tricorder, feeling sorry for Regnum, he must have lost his mind somewhere.  Humors him::  Regnum:  Nice... glitch.

Lider_Kor:
XO : Enemies? Yes.. And.. Doing what? We're still not sure what has happened.. Only that something has.

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  There is much we still don't know.  When you voice print these councilors.. is there a required visual to?

Glitch:
MO: I'm an AI not a dog!

MO_Parks:
::Turns as the computer bleeps at her.  Reading the data she frowns, then turns back::  Regnum:  Well Vic, the computer agrees, you are who you say you are... or were...

Lider_Kor:
CTO : We checked the recordings for falsification.. There was none.

XO_Farrel:
Lider: So what are you suggesting we do to help?

MO_Parks:
::Glances down again at the tricorder::

Lider_Kor:
CTO : We have a string sense of community.. Everything is done openly, with everyone's knowledge..

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lidor Kor: What do you want us to do to help?

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  Maybe if you let me take a look, maybe I can spot something you missed.  ::Long shot she knows but worth a try.::

MO_Parks:
Glitch:  OK...  that is nice... ::wishing the CMO was there.::

MO_Parks:
*XO*:  Sir... do you have a moment?

XO_Farrel:
*MO* I'm in a meeting right now, is there a problem?

Lider_Kor:
CO : I can get a small number of you smuggled onto Hanthros Prime. You would need surgical alteration, and extra information. But I would like you to go there and find out what is happening..

XO_Farrel:
Lider: Why can't your own investigators do this?

Regnum:
::remembering the past:: MO: Can OPS get me room now? Vic want Shower Vic want replimicator

CMO_Mea`e:
@::Brings the shuttle to one fourth impulse, then one eighth until it fills her screen::  COMM:  Artemis: One lost soul coming home.

MO_Parks:
*XO*:  I am not certain.  I found a man left alone in sickbay who wanted verification of who he is... was?

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: Before I can do what you ask, I have to contact my superiors to get authorization for such a mission.

Lider_Kor:
XO: Because lately, meddling in things that even suggest something is wrong are met with extreme prejudice...

OPS_Mades:
COM: CMO: Welcome home Doctor.  I believe there is something waiting for you in the shuttle bay.

MO_Parks:
Regnum:  Hold on...

CMO_Mea`e:
COMM:OPS:  Thanks...

CMO_Mea`e:
::Brings the shuttle in for a landing, quickly shutting her down::

Lider_Kor:
XO: Several Council Aides where dismissed, and I’ve even heard of secret detentions by our security forces.

XO_Farrel:
*MO* Err, I’ll be there as soon as I can....in the meantime access the crew database for a lieutenant Victor Scott Regnum and show him the file...

Crewman Lotho:
::sees the shuttle land is happy he will soon be getting rid of this pot::

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  So the Federation are your sacrificial lambs.  Something goes wrong you have someone to point the finger at.  Use that to Claim the Council was right not to join?

MO_Parks:
*XO*:  I have already done a DNA and medical scan.  The two are one and the same.  He would like to go to a room.  But sir... ::Turns away and lowers her voice::  He is not quite... sane.

Regnum:
::lets his telepathy wander around the ship, trying to find anyone he knew from before::

XO_Farrel:
::Unhappy at Peters' frankness, but is curious for what Lider's answer will be::

Lider_Kor:
::eyes the CTO:: CTO : Why would I be here if I wanted Hanthros to stay out of the Federation? I could have let the Council do as they saw fit... And we'd never hear from you again..

Regnum:
::hears the MO:: Vic sane! Vic HOME!

CMO_Mea`e:
::Swinging her gear, opens the shuttle door and takes a deep breath of a ships rarified air::  Ahhh... home....

OPS_Mades:
::feels a tickle at the back of his mind and blocks it out quickly::  Aloud:  What the...

XO_Farrel:
*MO* Have him watched in sickbay, until i can come by

Lider_Kor:
CTO: And for that matter, you wouldn't even have gotten as far as Hanthros prime if one of our people hadn't helped you.

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::quickly intercedes:: Lider Kor: Before I can do what you ask, I have to contact my superiors to get authorization for such a mission.

CEO_Russel:
::smiles::  CMO:  I thought home was from where you return.

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  You could, or you could become a hero to your people.  Sorry Mr. Kor, but my job is to protect this crew and what the Federation stands for.

Lider_Kor:
::nods:: CO : I realize and expected that...

Crewman Lotho:
::rushes to the open shuttle door and forces the pot of hot chocolate into the Doctor's hands::  CMO: This is for you.  Enjoy  ::rushes out of the bay::

MO_Parks:
::Turns back around to calm the man::  Regnum:  Yes... you are home.  It is quite all right...

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  These are just questions I need to ask.  I would be remiss if I didn't.  ::Hopes she doesn't get thrown in her own brig for this.::

XO_Farrel:
Lider: Please, forgive our suspicion.  But surely you must have a group of your own forces to carry out such a mission...?

CMO_Mea`e:
::Looks down into Matt’s eyes::  CEO:  I heard the old colloquial saying, home is where you hang your hat.  I believe I left mine in your quarters...  ::Drops her bag and runs up to him::

Lider_Kor:
CTO: And mine is to try and accomplish what my people need.

CEO_Russel:
::opens his arms to receive her.::

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  And I'm sure the Capt can come to some kind of agreement....  Kor let me inside that ship of yours.  The first step is trust.  We are not allowed to steal alien technology but I need to know what we are up against.

Lider_Kor:
XO : Although there are those like myself who are willing to risk death for treason to find out what is going on, the majority of the people has grown accustomed with the idea.

CMO_Mea`e:
::With a big grin, dives into his arms::  CEO:  Hello stranger... miss me?

Lider_Kor:
XO : Believe me when I say I would be shot dead if the Hanthrosian Authorities knew I was here, talking to you

CEO_Russel:
::wraps her within his arms.::  CMO:  More than you could imagine.  ::kisses her.::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::looks at his XO and CTO:: XO/CTO: This is a strange situation I admit that, but we did come here to get the Hanthrosians into the Federation. I will contact SFC and see what they have to say

Lider_Kor:
XO: And our military, though suspicious, are far to loyal to do anything against the Council.

MO_Parks:
*OPS*: Could you please arrange a... special room for our guest?  He shouldn't really be alone.  But he is healthy and I have not a clue what to do with him just yet.  I think his own room would do him good.

CMO_Mea`e:
::Returns the kiss::

XO_Farrel:
::Nods:: Lider: We'll see what we can do to help your people...

Lider_Kor:
::nods:: CO : Very well... :: a beeping sound is heard on Kol's tunic. HE reveals a small time piece from a pocket on it, and frowns::

Regnum:
MO: I be guarded won't I?

OPS_Mades:
::brow furrows at the request from the MO::  *MO*: Which guest would that be?

CTO_Peters:
XO:  A moment Sir.

CMO_Mea`e:
CEO:  Mmm... you taste much better than the chocolate.

CTO_Peters:
::Steps back from the group.::

MO_Parks:
Regnum:  Yes... for now.  For your safety and the crews.

Lider_Kor:
CO: I am sorry.. I must go... When you decide on what you will do.. ::reveals a small metallic device to the CO, and places it in his hand:: You can call me n this..

MO_Parks:
*OPS*: Victor Regnum... one of the Artemis.  ::Ponders::  You know, if his old room is still available, it might be good for him to have it.

CEO_Russel:
CMO:  Oh, such compliments you have for me ::grins::  I think my ego has just swelled

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: I will get in touch with my superiors. It may be a a day or two before I will hear anything

Lider_Kor:
CO: I will return here exactly 2 days after you press this button.. ::shows the CO the button::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::takes the device::

Regnum:
MO: I understand, but no talk around me, I was OPS, I know policy.

OPS_Mades:
::the light of realization blinks on:: *MO*: Oh!  I'll see what I can do.

Lider_Kor:
::nods:: CO : But please.. Hurry...

CMO_Mea`e:
::Laughs out loud::  CEO:  Like it needs to be.  However, Christian promised me a cup to help me wake up.  Though after that kiss... ::winks::

OPS_Mades:
::starts checking the records::

XO_Farrel:
::Shivers, visibly::

CTO_Peters:
XO:  Ma'am please?

XO_Farrel:
CTO: Huh?  Yes, okay...

CEO_Russel:
::Raises an eyebrow, still grinning.::

MO_Parks:
Regnum:  Oh... was that your position?  ::looks embarrassed now as well as lost::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::shows Lider Kor back into the shuttle bay::

OPS_Mades:
::amazingly, the room is available.::  *MO*: His quarters are available.  I've logged him in and assigned the quarters to him.  Info on your console.

Lider_Kor:
::follows the CO.. Presses a button on his wrist band, and the shuttle doors open in the shuttle bay::

CMO_Mea`e:
::Returning, she picks up her bags and hands it to him::  CEO:  My mother said men were good for something ::smiles teasingly::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: I will get back to you as soon as I can

CTO_Peters:
::Leans over and whispers.:: XO:  I have a great concern Ma'am.   The Hanthrosian that helped us was one of your knights that was after that book of yours.  I have to consider that this could be a ruse to retrieve that book.  Sir why would these people use an Ancient Betazoid order for their purposes?

CO_McPherson-Quest:
Lider Kor: Until then, have a safe journey.

MO_Parks:
*OPS*:  Thank you.  Can you please have a security officer assigned as well?

Regnum:
MO: Yes, I was OPS

OPS_Mades:
*MO*: Sure thing.  ::sends a note to Security::

MO_Parks:
::Looks at Regnum::  It looks like you are in luck.  Your old room is available.  If you would like to go there for now?  I will escort you... rules if you remember.

Lider_Kor:
::nods:: CO : Thank you captain... I bid you farewell, and hope t meet you again soon.

Lider_Kor:
::enters the Shuttle::

CEO_Russel:
::takes the bag and flings it onto his shoulder.::  CMO:  we have their uses.  ::begins to walk towards the door.::  what else did your parents have to say?

XO_Farrel:
CTO: I see....in fact the order could be the ones in control of their government....

Regnum:
MO: My room still open?

XO_Farrel:
Lider: Wait!

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::turns and walks to rejoin the XO and CTO::

CTO_Peters:
XO:  Now you know why I asked those questions.  Sir, what is the connection?

Lider_Kor:
::peeks out of the shuttle door::

CMO_Mea`e:
::Seeing a steaming cup on the table as she walks by, she nabs it, sniffs and sends a quiet thank you to Christian::  CEO:  Well... it was not quite what I expected.

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::stops as his XO comes in to view::

Security Officer #1:
::Standing in SB 1 watching the shuttle::

Lider_Kor:
XO : Yes?

XO_Farrel:
Lider: Mr. Kor, have you ever heard of Havriendor?

MO_Parks:
::Steps back::  Regnum:  Yes... and you can get a shower and change of clothes... no offense.

CEO_Russel:
::Exits the shuttle bay, opposite from the other officers.::  CMO:  How so?

Lider_Kor:
::shakes head:: XO : I can't say that i have... Though the word has a similar pronunciation to a word in Hanthrosian vocabulary..

CTO_Peters:
::Keeps step with the XO.::

Lider_Kor:
XO : Hah'Meh'Nor

Regnum:
::nods:: MO: Yes, need shower, need clothes, need shave, need replicator!

CTO_Peters:
Kor:  Do you have men who have tattoos that signify a special order?

XO_Farrel:
Lider: And what does it mean?

CMO_Mea`e:
CEO:  One day my parents would congratulate me and work towards the wedding and the next they would seem to back track and ask me over and over if I was sure and shouldn't I wait and... Etcetera.

Regnum:
::jumps up to follow the MO to his old quarters::

Lider_Kor:
CTO: Not to my knowledge...

CTO_Peters:
::looks at Kor for a few minutes steadily trying to determine if he is lying.::

Lider_Kor:
::smiles:: XO : Literal translation... Mating..

CEO_Russel:
::walks towards the turbolift.::  CMO:  Odd...  wedding is all they seemed to talk about when I was there...

MO_Parks:
::With a smile, leads the old OPS person::  Regnum:  I can not imagine being alone for so long... it must have been hard.  But... why were you alone?

XO_Farrel:
Lider: Errr ::Blushes:: That is all....

CTO_Peters:
::Raises Eyebrows.:: XO:  I take it sexual practices are not part of the Betazoid Order?

Lider_Kor:
::chuckles, but then turns serious again:: All : I must go...

CMO_Mea`e:
CEO:  I know... and I thought they would be excited... and sometimes they were.  I don't know.  Maybe it was because I was the last and the lives we lead or rather precarious?

Regnum:
MO: I fall through vortex, vortex disappear, I alone on moon

Lider_Kor:
::bids his goodbyes, and goes into the shuttle again. Soon after, the door closes.::

XO_Farrel:
CTO: Not unless someone's getting married...

OPS_Mades:
::runs through a few screens on his console, displays of this and that, nothing too interesting.  Starts wondering about that presence that starting into his mind.  Wonders if he should tell the XO that someone was prying.::

CTO_Peters:
XO:  Well I suspect the guy who attacked you wasn’t looking to mate.   The connection needs to be looked at though.'

MO_Parks:
::vortex::  Regnum:  Well, now you are home and hopefully things will... work out for you.  Have you any family I should contact or would you like to do that?

CEO_Russel:
::Enters the TL.::  CMO:  Possible.  ::feeling bothered.::  TL:  Deck 3.

Regnum:
::smiles:: MO: Yes call Anne!

CO_McPherson-Quest:
CTO: You were may I say...very abrupt

MO_Parks:
Regnum:  You want me to call her for you?

OPS_Mades:
::wishes he could reach out to see who it was, but that was the problem with only being half-betazoid, there were limitations::

MO_Parks:
::Steps into the turbolift and sends it to OPS old quarters::

XO_Farrel:
::Finds herself laughing:: CTO: yes it does....anyway i have something to take care of.  ::Stops laughing as the CO confronts Zoe::

Lider_Kor:
ACTION : The shuttle thrums to life, and rises 1 meter off the ground, turning towards the exit force field::

CTO_Peters:
CO:  My apologies Sir..  I was just trying to get some answers and find the connection to a Betazoid Order and the Hanthrosian Government.

CMO_Mea`e:
::touches his arm lightly::  CEO:  It's ok...

Regnum:
::shakes head:: MO: No, I have letters

MO_Parks:
Regnum:  Letters?

OPS_Mades:
::is brought out of his reverie as he sees an indicator that someone was about to leave the shuttle bay.  Coordinates with the duty officer in the bay to make sure everything is okay::

CEO_Russel:
CMO:  Do you think...  Do you think it's because of... what...  I am?

Glitch:
MO: boy does he ever, 43% of my storage capacity is filled with letters for Anne

XO_Farrel:
::Stares off into space, looking distant again.  There it is again...  Her mind takes the form of a bird, flying through the bulkheads searching for...::

CMO_Mea`e:
CEO:  What you are?  You are my fiancé and the man I am planning to marry.  OK.. so you are also the CEO of a starship... but that is nothing.

Lider_Kor:
ACTION : The shuttle leaves the bay, headed out into space.

MO_Parks:
::looks at the tricorder, not getting used to this::  Glitch:  ummmm... he has messages to download then?

CMO_Mea`e:
::Steps from the turbolift and heads down the hall to their quarters::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
XOCTO: I hope that he wasn't offended

CEO_Russel:
CMO:  That's not what I meant.  Together we represent four different races.  Tha chances of having children are slim to say the best and I know your parents wanted grandchildren so...

XO_Farrel:
::Hasn't responded to the CO or CTO, her eyes fixed on the bulkhead behind them::

Glitch:
MO: 287 of them, mostly to her, a few to other people, I'm sure I can use the old interface to send them out, but they will all die of old age before reading them all

CTO_Peters:
CO:  If he is on the level then I will apologize personally.  Your safety is my top concern and since we can't technically interfere with the internal workings of another government... expect this government may be responsible for the attack on Cmdr Farrell...

CO_McPherson-Quest:
XO: Hali...HALI

CTO_Peters:
::frowns for a moment.:: CO:  Something I should look into... adjust my investigation for a bit...  ::sees the XO.::

CMO_Mea`e:
::Enters their quarters::  CEO:  My parents have two other children who have children.  They are set for grandchildren if it comes to that.  However, don't give up on us yet.  There is an advantage to being ½ Minaran.

CO_McPherson-Quest:
::wonders why Hali is staring at the bulkheads::

CTO_Peters:
::touches the Cmdr's shoulder::

CEO_Russel:
::raises an eyebrow.::  CMO:  Which is?

XO_Farrel:
::Snaps back:: CO: Sir?  Sorry sir.....the CTO is right about interfering in their politics, unless it is officially requested, but even then we are on lofty footing, but it can be done, legally.

CEO_Russel:
::puts the bag down on the couch.::

MO_Parks:
::As the turbolift stops::  Glitch:  Ohhh... well, by all mean... let's send them.  ::Leads the two? of them down the hall::

CO_McPherson-Quest:
XO/CTO: I know about the Prime Directive, but like I said I can ask SFC and see what they say

CO_McPherson-Quest:
XO: Welcome back to the land of the living

CMO_Mea`e:
CEO:  Our ability to match our biochemistry to others for healing purposes... I believe it can extend to procreation when we are ready... ::Frowns::  we do want children... right?

Glitch:
MO: I don't know why he still holds out hope, I keep telling him she is sure to have remarried by now.

CEO_Russel:
CMO:  Yes...  well, I do.

CO_McPherson-Quest:
CTO: I know your duty is to protect me, but I do like some "space" ::chuckles::

CTO_Peters:
CO:  Sir if we get into trouble there... You know we will be outgunned...  I only have that one Hanthrosian weapon and just getting used to working it.. If we run into trouble.... ::leaves the rest unsaid.::

OPS_Mades:
::taps a few buttons, checking statuses again.  Things quiet he can let his mind wander a bit again.::

Regnum:
Glitch: You're WRONG! Anne would know... she would know in her heart I was still alive, she would not leave me!

MO_Parks:
::Stops in front of the doors and keys in the temporary command codes::  Glitch:  I wouldn't know... I am sorry.  Maybe if he is lucky... I assume we are talking about an old girl friend.

CO_McPherson-Quest:
CTO: On another note, what can you tell me about the person that you recovered?

CMO_Mea`e:
::Relaxes::  CEO:  Good.  And I don't know about you, but they don't have to be biologically ours, but I think with a little Minaran and medical help, we can.

MO_Parks:
::As the door opens, she waves the two of them in, ignoring the stares a few crewmembers are sending their way.::

CTO_Peters:
CO:  He claims to be one Victor Regnum...formerly of the Artemis.  Harmless.. he was genuinely glad to see us.  Familiar with the Artemis too.  He has modified a tricorder to his combadge..  ::Grins::  His friend for the last four years.

Lider_Kor:
ACTION : OPS gets an incoming hail... Vulcan shuttle, heading in at the edge of  LRS range.

CEO_Russel:
::grins::  CMO:  Well, since trying is so much fun, we might as well try

XO_Farrel:
CO: Sir, one thing about our guest, I’ve noticed he has unusually potent telepathic abilities, perhaps as a result of his isolation.  Just moments ago I thought I could feel him probing the ship....

CMO_Mea`e:
::Turns and lifts her arms toward him laughing::  CEO: I won't argue that one.

CTO_Peters:
XO:  Maybe a refresher course on the protocols of telepathy?

OPS_Mades:
::checks the hail::  *XO*:  I have an incoming Vulcan shuttle.

CTO_Peters:
XO: No matter what he is going to be excited to be around people once again.  It will be natural for him to reach out.

XO_Farrel:
CTO: Good idea...

Regnum:
::enters his old room an looks around:: Self: Same... but different

CO_McPherson-Quest:
XO/CTO: That is odd

XO_Farrel:
*OPS* Identity?  ::looks puzzled::

MO_Parks:
::Follows and looks at the barren room::  Regnum:  Yea... your personal items have probably been given to your family.  I doubt they are in storage after all this time.

OPS_Mades:
::reads over the short text sent::  *XO*: Um, the pilot is someone by the name of Soral... here to speak with you.  ::sounds confused a bit::

CTO_Peters:
::Mutters:: CO/XO:  When it rains it pours......

CO_McPherson-Quest:
XO/CTO: Does this guy need a Counselor?

CEO_Russel:
::Walks over to La'i.::  CMO:  And there's no harm in trying

Regnum:
::nods:: MO: Thank you doctor ::heads straight towards the bathroom area for a long needed shower::

XO_Farrel:
CTO/CO: The bookkeeper, from the starbase.....   he's probably got information, may he land sir?

CTO_Peters:
::nods at the Capt.::

CTO_Peters:
XO:  Don't speak to him alone please..  May I be there?

MO_Parks:
::Quietly leaves the quarters, nodding to the guard standing by.::

XO_Farrel:
CTO: Very well...

CO_McPherson-Quest:
XO: That is your department Hali
