OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::busily coordinating damage control teams on both the Artemis and the Jifer::

Repairs on the Jifer go slowly, as goes the evacuation of the wounded.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Having reached the top she looks down the long stairway.::

MO Ens Denizen:
@:: on the shuttle recovering from a bad case of drug over dose.. skin feels clammy and shaking a bit.. trying to focus her eyes as she messes with her tricorder::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CEO* how long until Jifer can travel on her own warp power?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Rifling through some PADDs in the encampment::

Quill says:
::unconscious::

Rice:
::Speaks with Mason regarding the incident within sickbay.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Realizes she is missing someone.::  *CSO*:  T'Kor have you see the Doctor?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::making his way back down towards ME.::  *CO*:  I'm not sure if it'll be possible without an overhaul.  I'll have the warp core and main power back online in a couple of hours.  I'd like to beam over and assist with the repair, would that be ok, captain?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@*CTO*: She was beamed back to one of the shuttles, remember? After she fainted by the cave entrance?

MO Ens Denizen:
@ ::the shuttle she's in is parked close to the caves where the CTO/CSO's last signal came from.. sits on the floor between the front seats as she tries to get the hypo loaded with shaking hands.. the pilot watches her in bemusement::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Sighs:: *CSO*:  Must be the thin air in here....Or I'm too focused...

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CEO* Hmm, is she in good enough condition for us to tractor her to Jintara?

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Her hands covered in blue blood, she glances up a the clock then back at her patient.::

Mason:
::Keeps an eye on the prisoner in sickbay.  He won't get another chance to attack anyone::

MO Ens Denizen:
@::finally gets the hypo loaded and injects herself.. giggles from the drugs in her system and just has to wait for the antidote to take effect::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@*CTO*: I've finished checking these PADDs down here; there's nothing important.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*CSO*:  Understood.. I'm going to  look around here... This place has an alter in it.  I'm going to check it out.  Is there any other places to look at down there>?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CO*:  Only if stayed at a maximum warp 2.  At that speed it should take us about... 6 hours to reach it.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::Enters ME.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Opening her tricorder she scans the object in front of her.  Step by step she makes he way towards it.   She runs a hand over the top of the alter looking for any hidden latches.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@*CTO*: I see. I haven't found anything else of interest down here.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CEO* ::sighs:: then i guess our best option is to attempt to repair her engines...unless you have any other ideas?

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Feeling a cool cloth at her brow, she nods her thanks and continues.::

MO Ens Denizen:
@::fumbles to the console and communications panel.. the shuttle crew of 2 finally decide this is too pathetic to watch and help out..:: *CTO*: hey.. ::still breathing hard:: Peters.. are.. are you feeling ok?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*CSO*:  Ok, why don't you join me up here?  I think you will get a kick out of this alter.   ::Begins running her hand down the sides.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@*CTO*: On my way. Or did you just say that so I'd have to go up all those stairs?

Denizen's Comm. badge returns static

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CO*:  Not for now.  I think I might be able to get you as much as warp 1.5 with a lot of work and a little luck...

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Walks over and starts climbing the staircase::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CEO* So, your saying, that the fastest way to get back to away team is if we tractor the Jifer...

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Chuckles:: *CSO*:  Why should I be the only to have to climb these things.  Let's play follow the leader.  ::Grins to herself.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CO*:  Unless you're willing to leave the Jifer behind, but I doubt we'd want that.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::With a sigh, she steps back::  Jules:  That should do it.  Close please.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Arrives at the top of the staircase, beating Zoe by about 15 seconds::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Getting down on her knees she begins to feel the underneath of the alter.. slowing walking on her knees around it.::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::At Jules response, she turns around, pulling off her dirty gown and gloves.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CEO* We'll have to tractor her then...what about the peregrine fighter, can she fit in the shuttle bay?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Looking for a secret catch?

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Tossing them in the recycler, she gets another set.::

MO Ens Denizen:
@:: gets no responds and wonders what’s going on.. how long she was dazed under the drugs::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  I hear you panting.. I'm going to recommend you join us for the tactical physical fitness regime....::Hand stops on something::  Ooooo whadda we have here?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Joins the search::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Looks up:: CTO: I may be panting, but I got here faster than you did. What did you find?

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Before she starts on their next patient, she stops to check on the one the pirate.::

MO Ens Denizen:
@ ::changes the direction of the communication::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CO*:  No, it's too big.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  Good thing I made sure there were no traps on the way up huh?  ::Grins::  Hmmmm it's feels like a lever of some sort.  What do you think?  Should we move it and see what we get?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: One of us should stay outside, just in case.

Mason:
CMO: Be careful Doctor this is a wily one.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Starts scanning the floor for trapdoor-like areas::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CEO* Alright, assign a team to extract the fighters computer core, and have it analyzed for any information we can get on these pirates.  As for the Jifer, feel free to beam over and oversee repairs, But i want that fighters computer core ASAP so we can get underway

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Nods:: CSO:  Okie... ::Pulls the lever::  Let's see what we get.

Quill says:
::opens his eyes::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Nodding to the security guard keeping watch, she steps up to the medical panel to check his reading.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Stands just outside the doorway as Peters pulls the lever::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
*CO*:  Aye, aye, captain.  Russel out.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Watches as the alter moves revealing another staircase.::

Quill says:
::pulls against his restraints::

Quill says:
CMO: Where am I?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Joins Peters once the stairway presents itself::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Who first?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Stands up when the alter stops.::  CSO:  I think we should both go down.  I don't want to leave either of us vulnerable.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Looking down at the human, she still feels a bit nervous, even with the security officer near by.  An unconscience sigh, she was going to have to talk with Hali later.  She jumps at the voice.::  Quill:  You are in my sickbay.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::assigns a team to extract the computer core from the peregrine-class fighter.  Then grabs his kit and heads out of ME, leaving Smith in command.::

MO Ens Denizen:
 @ COM: Artemis: This is the Leto I mean.. hello?

Quill says:
CMO: Oh I survived and was captured.  How unfortunate.

Quill says:
CMO: But soon I will rectify the situation If I’m lucky.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Raises an eyebrow::  Quill:  It was unfortunate for you that you were captured, but I would think being alive was fortunate.

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Incoming transmission from Jintara, it's the Leto.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::walks to transporter room 2, enters.::  TRChief:  I'm heading over to the Jifer.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Put it on

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Stands back a moment and looks at T'Kor.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Me first I guess. ::Narrows his flashlight beam and starts down the staircase::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
Quill:  With luck, you are going no where.

TRChief:
CEO:  Aye.  ::Enters the coordinates in the computer.::

MO Ens Denizen:
@ ::stands up.. The antidote finally working and grumbles about technology::

Quill says:
CMO: How "lucky" was I?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: Channel open

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Taps her comm. badge.::  *CO*:  Captain, your guest is awake.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  Slowly my friend slowly.   Don't know how many booby traps there are.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
Quill:   You could be dead.  Dead, you can't do anything.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Glances back and nods at Peters, then carefully tests each step before stepping down::

MO Ens Denizen:
 @ COM: Artemis: This is the Leto! ::louder as if that made a difference:: I have lost communications with the Tac and Science officer.. I think they went in the caves.. current status unknown.. do you read me?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
::steps onto the pad.::  TRChief:  Energize.  ::dematerializes as the Chief initiates the transport.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
*CMO* Acknowledged, I will be down shortly.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::stares at the pirate.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
COMM: MO: Yes we read you loud and clear doctor.  At this point do you have any reason to believe there is an emergency?  I mean the caves are known to block communications.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Gingerly steps down onto the first step...wrist light illuminating her way.::

Quill says:
::pulls at his restraints:: CMO: I will try to escape and I will do that anyway I can.  Even if it means death.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
Quill:  Why do you seek death?

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Waves her hand behind her.::  Quill:  I have a room full of those just trying to hang onto life and you seek death.  ::Shakes her head.::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
#::materializes on the Jifer.  The emergency lights are blinking red and are the only source of light.  Debris are littering the floor.  An engineering team is working at a nearby ODN junction.::

Quill says:
CMO: A good pirate never wants to be caught. We would do anything to be a pirate and escape you.

MO Ens Denizen:
 @ COM: Artemis: Emergency?! ::pauses to collect her thoughts:: no.. not yet anyway.. the fungus that’s on this planet.. gets bad around some type of source.. couldn't determine it.. the medication I used.. I over dosed.. I don't know the current status of the Away team.. I don't know if the same thing happened.. if you are .. are.. umm.. ::looks a bit confused for a moment::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
Quill:  I can understand wanting to escape, but not through death.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Continues down the stairs.  Flashing her light against the walls making sure nothing can jump out at them.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
COMM: MO: Hmm, an overdose?  then you'd better enter the caves and look for them, they may need treatment doctor.

Quill says:
CMO: I believe We all have past and future lives.  In every life I am a pirate.  I will continue to the end of time.  That’s what I believe.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Suddenly sees a large chamber around the corner; stops and motions Peters to do so as well::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
#::Walks over to them.::  Jifer crewmen:  I'm LtCmdr Russel, Chief Engineer of the Artemis.  Who's in charge?

MO Ens Denizen:
 @ COM: Artemis: I.. I uhh.. no.. I just can't find them.. are you about done with what your doing? ::looks at the small view screen:: what.. oh.. yes.. but.. nevermind.. just check back in on us.. it's umm.. right.. shuttle out.. ::closes the com::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
Quill:  To be forever a pirate...  ::Shakes head::  If you want to die so much to go to the next life, do you mind if I use you for spare parts?  ::With straight face, wondering were Halie was.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Frowns::  OPS: Hail the Leto...

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::chuckles at the MO's communication and mutters quietly to himself:: Self: And they say I have mental issues

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Looks back and says quietly:: CTO: There's a chamber here.

MO Ens Denizen:
@::leans ont he wall.. her feet feel numb but her balance is coming back:: 

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Stops when K'Tor signals.  Whispers::  CSO:  What do you see?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
::hails the Leto:: CO: Channel Open... erm Again

Quill says:
CMO: Even when I am caught there is a chance I can escape.  Always was and always will be.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Pulls out the tricorder and scans the chamber::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
COMM: MO: Doctor Denizen, please respond.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
Quill:  Then why did you try to commit suicide?  We found the chemicals in your blood tests.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: The PADD signal is definitely coming from in this chamber. Also, I'm picking up a Starfleet emergency generator and... something.

MO Ens Denizen:
@::the view screen pops back on.. the shuttle crew crowd around it and answer:: COM: Atremis: Leto here...

Quill says:
CMO: Since I'm given another shot at this life I will escape.  Its the pirate way.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: The tricorder can't scan it.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::A touch of anger in her voice.::  Quill:  Do you enjoy hurting people?

Quill says:
CMO: I don't enjoy it but it is what I do best.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  Ok, we need to take a look at that.  ::Sighs::  Lets slowly go in.  We will do this by the book.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
COMM: MO: Doctor, if there is a chance the away team has overdosed it is very important you get to them.  I am ordering you to enter the caves and search for them, take a TO with you for safety.

Shuttle FCO:
@ COM: Artemis: The doctor is in the back.. 

Ens Idrani:
#::turns around and glances at the newcomer.  She moves a lock of her white hair out of her face, her antennas turning slightly.::  CEO:  Sir, communications have been down ever since the attack, we've been working on getting them online, but we've been having problems with the Stationary Waves' frequency.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
@Quill:  I do not consider killing a talent.  What is so important, that you have done so much harm to innocent folks?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Nods, turns back to the doorway, motions for Peters to go left, then steps inside the doorway and to the right, phaser in hand::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
COMM: shuttle FCO: In the back?  She just responded.... ::sighs:: get her out to the front this is important.

Quill says:
CMO: You and I have different lives different ideals and we will never understand each other.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Moves to the left, her phaser rifle raised.  Slowly she begins her walk through of the perimeter.::

Shuttle FCO:
@ COM: Artemis: aye sir.. we'll pass that along.. she's getting her gear together for the trip ::closes the channel and has the shuttle OPS suit up in a spare EVA and get a phaser.. ::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
#Ens Idrani:  Try retuning the neutrino flux inducers.  I'm going to try to get to ME and see how they're doing down there.  We sent two teams over a few minutes ago, that's where they should be.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Flashes his light over the walls::

The device on the center of the room is dark, an almost black grey.

Quill says:
CMO:If only I could show you the life of a pirate.

Ens Idrani:
# CEO:  I'll go with you, the JFs are this way.  ::heads off leading the way.::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
Quill:  I can understand many things and folks, but not killing without reason.  As for being a pirate...::Shrugs::  Why would I enjoy that?

Several letters, in the alphabet exactly like the one on the outside of the temple, adorn it, in yellow light

Quill says:
::trys to get out of his restraints::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Check in with the team on the pirate fighter, how much longer until they've extracted the computer core?

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
Quill:  You can't not get out of those.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::With her foot she rubs it over the floor surface looking for traps.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Satisfied there's nobody else here, starts scanning the floor for weak points or holes under tiles::

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
COMM: Peregrine Team: Artemis to Computer Core extraction team, the captain wants an ETA

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
#::follows Idrani to the JFs.  Waits for her to crawl in and follows her in.  They begin the long climb and crawl down to Deck 7 from Deck 2.::

MO Ens Denizen:
@ ::goes out side.. no EVA suite and way too many drugs still in her system to notice the fungi in the air.. looks aorund and is followed closly by the Shuttle OPS with a pair of flash lights.. ::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
~~~~CO:  Hali, this guy is nuts.  Are you coming any time soon?~~~~

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Having scanned the floor, he walks over to the middle of the room, picks up the PADD, and starts reading it and looking at the device::

Peregrine Team:
%COMM:  Artemis:  OPS:  ETA is half an hour, sir.

MO Ens Denizen:
@ ::enters the caves and looks around.. the SOPS notices foot prints and drags the MO after the CSO and CTO.. taking along their gear.. soon finds a pyramid and an opening.. yells::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
~~~CMO: Sorry for the delay, I’ll be there soon~~~

MO Ens Denizen:
@ CSO/CTO: hello! you hear me?

OPS Lt Victor Scott Regnum:
CO: The Peregrine Team says there's still a half hour remaining

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::She completes her survey of the room.::  CSO:  Ok, so far so good. ::Sees he has something in his hands.::  Ahhhh the elusive PADD.  ::Gets up close to the device and begins to eyeball it.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::turns to her side:: CNS: Counselor Dupius, will you come with me to sickbay to see our guest?

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::nods, not needing to reply.::  Quill:  You will live for now.  But I wonder...  ::Shaking her head, she turns to walk away.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
OPS: Thank you, comm. me as soon as they're done.

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::nods and stands:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Nods to Peters and hands her the PADD, then starts looking over the device::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Stands and enters the TL, holding it for the CNS::

MO Ens Denizen:
@:: shines the flash light around and the SOPS follows.. or more or less leads.. since she is still a bit dizzy.. finds the stairs down and slips.. landing on her rear and yelling.. her voice echoes down the stairs.. which the CSO and CTO should have heard::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
#::after long minutes of climbing down and a knee-scraping crawl through the JFs, Russel and Idrani exits the JFs in ME.::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Looking at the anxious Jules, sighs and heads for the next patient ready.::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Takes the PADD he gives her but doesn't look at it.   Fascinated by the object.::  CSO:  A dampening field around it maybe?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Jumps up:: CTO: Someone's coming.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Grabs his phaser::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Quickly gets to her feet.:: CSO:  I'll take care of it.  You figure out what this is.  ::Moves back to the entrance::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::As the CNS enters the TL, she speaks just before the doors close:: OPS: Mr. Regnum, you have the bridge! ::taps for the lift to go to deck 4::

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::smiles at the CO nervously::

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::This time, her hands run with green blood as she tries to save the young woman.::

Quill says:
CMO: You might think I am crazy but I am not.  I do what I love to do.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Nods and turns back to the device, starts looking for signs of what it does::

EO Roberts:
#::Eyes go wide as he sees his CEO crawling out of the JFs.  Walks over to him and the Andorian female with him, most likely a member of the Jifer's crew.::  CEO:  Sir, we've begun working on getting main power back online.  We've made progress, but it should still take a few hours to get it up and running again.  They took one hell of a beating...

MO Ens Denizen:
@ ::the SOPS helps her back up as she rubs her back side and head down the stairs:: SOPS: look for them any where.. don't.. umm.. what was I saying? ::moves on down the stairs.. the SOPS in the rear making sure she doesn't fall again.. :: can't get a reading.. 

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Pulls out her tricorder again and scans....she lowers her weapon.::  CSO:  I'm picking up the good Doctor and Ens.... oh man I wish I could remember his name.::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Slowly turns to face the CNs in the confined space of the TL:: CNS: So...counselor, I believe this is the first chance we've had to really talk...

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::nods:: CO: It is, Sir.

Guard:
::Glares at the pirate with a grim smile::  Quill:  And I do what I like to do.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: I see. ::Shouts out:: @MO: Doctor? Doctor Denizen?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
#EO Roberts:  Keep at it.  I'm going to try and restore internal communications.  Any word from a senior officer?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
CNS: I wanted to say it seems you have helped Mr. Regnum very well, in just a few weeks he has already returned to full duties.

MO Ens Denizen:
@::jumps at the voice in the distance:: self: AAH! ::grabs her flash light and shines it around:: outloud: WHAT!

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: It's us, K'Tor and Peters.

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::smiles slightly and shakes her head:: CO: Lt. Regnum was ready, Sir. I just helped him find the courage he needed to come out in the world again.

EO Roberts:
#::swallows and looks uncomfortably at Idrani, then turns back to his superior officer.::  CEO:  All dead, sir...  when the bridge was destroyed...

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Remembering the crash sound:: MO: Be careful on the stairs.

Shuttle OPS:
@CTO, CSO : She's just a little.. Out of it..

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@*Shuttle Ops*:  How little?

MO Ens Denizen:
@ ::relaxes a bit:: self: oh..ok! ::walks toward the voices and watches her step.. with the SOPS following::

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Nods:: CNS: I see...you know, I used to be the counselor on this ship.  

Quill says:
CMO:I wish your CO would get here so I can this interogation done.Then I can go to sleep since I won't be doing anything in the near future except trying to escape.

Shuttle OPS:
@ CTO : Oh.. I'd say... Three sniffs of tyreena's worth

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::smiles and nods:: CO: I read it in your profile, Sir.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Sighs:: Self:  Oh great... *Shuttle OPS*:  Is she a danger to herself or to anyone on this team?

MO Ens Denizen:
@ :: finally gets in visual distance and follows the lights from the CTO/CSO gear into the area and just stands there for a moment.. :: CTO/CSO: so.. how is everyone feeling?

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
#EO Roberts:  All right...  ::glances at Idrani who seems slightly shaken up, but is hiding it well.::  ALL:  I'm in command until further notice.  Once we get internal comms, everything goes through me.    Idrani:  Now, let's get those internal comms back online.

Guard:
::Grins::  Quill:  You would like to escape?  I could arrange that.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@MO: Feeling? I'm... fine...

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Giggles and steps out as the lift arrives:: CNS: Anyway, as for our guest, i'm expecting him to be quite psychotic...

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::raises a brow:: CO: Hmm.....

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Shines the light into their faces.:: MO:  Ahhh there you are...  ::Holds out her hand::  How many fingers do you see?

Quill says:
Guard: Sure.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Stops outside the doors, straightens her uniform, then enters sickbay::

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
#::heads out of ME with Idrani and walks to the main communications array.::

@::scans the CTO with her tricorder:: CTO: good.. decause the anit.. anti.. the drugs used for the itching have reacted with my.. umm.. it wasn't pretty.. but I have the antidote.. it's just going to take time and no I'm fine thanks..

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  How many fingers doctor?  ::Still holding out her hand::

Jules:  Cordrazine, 2cc's.

Shuttle OPS:

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
Quill: Because, you'll find, that if you offer some information, the Judge-advocate can be quite accommodating.  that is unless you want to spent the rest of your life behind a force field?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::nods:: Quill: Now then, Mr. Quill, why did you attack the Jifer? 

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Well, here it says something like "To stars, press Jontal". Jontal is one of the alphabet characters.

CNS Ens Arielle Dupuis:
::takes notes on a PADD::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: It's only partial, but it sounds like some kind of communicator or transport device to me.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  Hmmmm be very sure.. big difference between communications and transport... ::ponders:: But you know that may explain what happened to the survey team.

CMO Lt Cmdr La’i Akeakamai Mea’e Russel:
::Hearing the sound of the flat line continue, looks at Jules with confusion, only to note that their patient was fine, it was the one the other team was working on.  But they were on their own, she had her own patient to save.::

MO Ens Denizen:
@ CTO: the drug is breaking down into weird proteins in your system at this level.. the tricorder keeping giving me false readings.. it says your pregnant.. but that’s only because of the amino concentrations.. your not.. but it's still funny

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: I'll keep on translating anything else I can get.

CEO Lt Cmdr Matthew Noah Russel:
# ::Enters ME.  With the comms back online, makes contact with the scattered crew of the Jifer and begins coordinating their efforts to restore the ship's systems.::

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@::Goes back to work::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO: Is there anyway it could be a weapon?

Quill says:
CO: One of my comrades was attacked by the vessel and I responded to his cries of assistance.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: It's entirely possible. "To stars" sounds like it would have to be interstellar, whatever it is, so it would be very advanced if it was a weapon.

MO Ens Denizen:
@ self: i really have to find a safer drug for this.. ugh.. ::rubs her head.. the high finally fading into a headache::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO: Thoughts Doctor?

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
Quill: Do you know anything about recent pirate activities on Jintara iv?

MO Ens Denizen:
@ CTO: on what?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  Open your ears Doctor... on what K'Tor just said.  ::Smiles::

MO Ens Denizen:
@CTO: Oh.. press it and see what happens?

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Wait... here we are... it's actually "To, something, stars, something, OPEN, something, press, something, Jontal."

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  We could be vaporized you know.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: I wouldn't recommending pressing Jontal until we open... well until we open whatever we have to open.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  Something... another lever?

MO Ens Denizen:
@ CTO: well you didn’t ask for a good idea

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: I don't know. I could try translating some more of the writing, but it'll take a while, since the survey team wasn't able to get any more characters.

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@::Chuckles:: MO: No I didn't, did I?

MO Ens Denizen:
@ ::stands up and takes a few deep breaths:: CSO: at this point all we have it time.. any one hungry?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  Speculation?  Did the Survey team press Jontal?

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@MO:  Doctor, check for bio residue with in the chamber.  ::Frowns::

Quill says:
CO:No.

CSO LtJg Tural P’Don K’Tor:
@CTO: Possibly, though I wouldn't have expected any scientist to just walk up and press a button without knowing how the system worked.

CO Capt Hali Farrell:
::Looks over at the CNS to see if she is getting any readings that Quill is lying::

CTO Lt Zoe Peters:
@CSO:  Scientists are curious bunch... sometimes they don't think when they are excited.
