Cnslr. Rockman
@::raises a hand out to Nefani:: Hello.  We are from the Callisto.  How can we help you?
Ens. Marin Walters
::looks at XO::  Things are well in hand, sir; if you need anything, just yell.
Capt. French
Tynan : Yes .. I'm aware of that ... try an old fashioned laser and radio scanning .. their hull might allow this old fashioned technique to go through
Ensign Tynan
CO: I am detecting a faint, additional life sign in the vicinity of the AT, sir
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::looks at small child and smiles:: Nefani: Are you Nefani?
David_AGM
Cameo: looks impressed:: I will
Ens. Marin Walters
::recalls past missions, loud vocal cords seem to be an asset::
Nefani
@ I'm Nefani.  I don't know.  All of the red lights are flashing.
Capt. French
Tynan : Ok that should be this Nefani .. try to get the specific of this life-form ASAP
Ens. Marin Walters
::adjusts power settings once again::
Cnslr. Rockman
@Nefani: where are these red lights?  Can you show us?
Lt. Kat Maguire
@Nefani: can you show us?
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  I'm detecting some minor power variations from the planet..
Nefani
Sure... ::The girl heads off, quickly down a long hallway::
David_AGM
Cameo: do they pose a danger?
Cnslr. Rockman
@::nudges Maguire:: I thought I was doing the talking!?

Lt. Kat Maguire
@::grins::
Ensign Tynan
::looks over the readings he is getting and rubs his eyes in disbelief::
Lt. Kat Maguire
@Cnslr: Sorry
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  Looking now...
Capt. French
Tynan : I'd like you to monitor the power emission of this ship as well ... Try to see if there's no kind of pattern which could hide a comm. attempt. I want to be sure that they need our help.
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::tries to catch up with the child, checking her Tricorder now and again::
Cnslr. Rockman
@Maguire: we just need to avoid confusion here.  She's scared enough as it is.
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::nods:: Aye, I agree....you do the talking
Ensign Tynan
CO: Sir, there are unusual spikes in the life sign readings I am getting
Cnslr. Rockman
@::thinks; wow, this girl's fast!::
John Sea
::listening to the hum of the engines, Aye, the astral seas::
Capt. French
Tynan ; Please be more specific
David_AGM
@{#}AT: Away team...this is Cdr. Troop, acting XO...what is your progress?
Nefani
@:: Stops outside a set of double doors:: This is the Heart.
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::thinks...the Heart?::
Ensign Tynan
CO: I have never seen anything like it. There appears to be an energy field around the lifeform that swells at regular intervals
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::looks at double doors::
Cnslr. Rockman
@Nefani: lead on.
Nefani
@ ::She touches a panel, and the door opens to reveal something like the Command Center or Bridge::
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::she must mean either the bridge or the engine room::
David_AGM
::listens in to the conversation with the CO::
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::sharp intake of breath::
Capt. French
Tynan : nature of the field ... Length of the interval ?
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  The power fluctuations seem to pulse...
Ens. Marin Walters
::tries to hone in on them...
David_AGM
Cameo: have you isolated that energy reading?  
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::carefully walks onto the bridge::
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  Working on it...
Ensign Tynan
::works to answer the Captain's questions furiously::
David_AGM
Cameo: could it be from this...Nefani??
Cnslr. Rockman
@{#}XO: Sir, stand by.  We're entering what appears to be the main control center.
Cnslr. Rockman
@::makes sure the Tricorder got the panel's code::
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::scanning::
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  Definitely from the ship....
Capt. French
Tynan : Try to correlate your readings with Walters .. that might help both of you.
Nefani
@ Over here.  ::She moves to a large display screen, a lot of the lights are red, some orange, and almost none green::
Ensign Tynan
CO: It is difficult to explain, but it seems to pulse at regular intervals......like a heartbeat
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  It doesn't appear to emanate from the area where the AT is...
Cnslr. Rockman
@::walks over to a control panel and runs a Tricorder over it::
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  I'm working to try and pin it down now...
David_AGM
Cameo: do you still have the AT in transporter lock?
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::picks up a pulse, like a heart beat on Tricorder, continues to scan the room::
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  I do.
David_AGM
Cameo: Good.. ::breaths a little easier::
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  The transport lock is steady.  We can get them back if we need to.
John Sea
::standard circular orbit with alien ship at center, clearing away some debris with navigational deflector, creating an instant of rainbow over the bow::
Ensign Tynan
CO: It is not electrical energy, though it does seem to interact with energy from wavelengths across the spectrum
Cnslr. Rockman
@::quickly walks over to the screen that Nefani is pointing to and scans it::
David_AGM
@{#}AT: What have you found in the control room Away team??
Nefani
@ Here you go... ::She hands a device that looks like a half moon with a cable connecting it to the console::
Capt. French
Sea : Try to keep us at Max range for an emergency transport, get control of the Shuttle as well .. and be ready to bail the shuttle out of the ship f need be.
Cnslr. Rockman
@::looks around for a console::
John Sea
Captain: Aye, coming about to maximum distance
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  The strongest power readings come from an area away from the AT's location, about 500 meters..
Lt. Kat Maguire
@{#}Callisto: Yes we are in the control room/bridge, scanning now
Ensign Tynan
CO: I would be surprised if it did not manifest itself in some visible way to the AT, sir
Ens. Marin Walters
::continues to try and pin down::
Cnslr. Rockman
@::takes control from Nefani:: Thank you.
Capt. French
Walters : Try to see with Tynan ... he's got a pulsating Energy field somewhere on the ship.
John Sea
::slaving shuttle controls to helm::
David_AGM
Net: do you think it could be some sort of holoemitter??
Ens. Marin Walters
XO: acknowledged.
Lt. Kat Maguire
@turns and reads stronger emissions coming from approx. 500 m away::
Ens. Marin Walters
Tynan:  What does your console detect?
Nefani
@ ::Looks puzzled when Rockman does nothing with the control:: Aren't you going to attach it?
John Sea
CO: maximum emergency distance established and holding
Ensign Tynan
David: It is possible, though there is definitely organic material in small quantities as well
Cnslr. Rockman
@::trying to figure out how to play pong on this screen::
David_AGM
@{#}AT: We are detecting a power reading about 500 meters from your location...do you read the same?
Capt. French
Sea; Acknowledged.... please check on a timely basis with OPS for the Transporter lock.
Cnslr. Rockman
@Nefani: does it attach to my head?  Like this? ::places control over forehead::
Ensign Tynan
Walters: I detect energy fluctuations across a wide spectrum and there is a small amount of organic material detected in the center 
Lt. Kat Maguire
@{#} Callisto: Acknowledge, I am also reading the same power
David_AGM
Net: Could that be a holo-MASK then for an alien life form??
John Sea
CO: Roger
Ensign Tynan
::checking scanners::
Nefani
@ ::She laughs:: No, like this.  ::She takes the device and places it just under the ridge on her neck::
Ensign Tynan
David: that is possible, but I cannot be certain without further information gathered by the AT
Capt. French
:: Seat deeply in the comfy chair ... and looks around ...::
Ens. Marin Walters
Tynan:  What is your analysis?  Dangerous?  I can divert power on Callisto, but am concerned for the AT
Cnslr. Rockman
@::watching Nefani carefully::
David_AGM
::nods to Net::
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::walks back over to the double doors, scanning::
Nefani
@ ::Her eyes glaze over... and then she removes it:: That's how you use it.
Ensign Tynan
::worried look:: Walters: I don't know if it is dangerous, I can only tell you it is unique
David_AGM
::after listening to the conversation of the AT in ear piece:::
Ens. Marin Walters
 Tynan:  Keep me informed of any new discoveries...
Cnslr. Rockman
@::takes the control back ::grins:: I have no ridge on my neck, but I'll give it a try...
John Sea
Ens. Walters: status of transporter lock?
David_AGM
@{#}AT: do NOT attempt to attach that device Away team...
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  I'd recommend additional security...
Ensign Tynan
CO: Sir, The AT should be informed that there is a phenomenon surrounding this individual and see if they can detect anything more definitive
Ens. Marin Walters
Sea:  It's still holding.
Nefani
@ You don't have a link?
John Sea
Aye
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::looks back at Counselor:: Cnslr: I wouldn't recommend that you do that
Cnslr. Rockman
@::places control in approximate position on neck::
David_AGM
Cameo: acknowledged and approved on that security
Capt. French
Tynan : Route that request via the XO .. now.
Ens. Marin Walters
::turns attention to trying to identify the source of energy::
Cnslr. Rockman
@Nefani: maybe I have something that works like a Link...
David_AGM
@{#}AT: I repeat...do NOT attempt to attach any alien device to your persons
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  I think that perhaps it is not the Nefani that should be investigated here; it seems simply a...  ::searches for words:
Capt. French
Sea : Navigational Status ?
Ens. Marin Walters
A tool...
John Sea
:: viewing 3-dimensional navigational tactical on helm panel
David_AGM
Cameo: can you elaborate??
Ensign Tynan
XO: There is a peculiar energy field surrounding the entity that is near the AT. I cannot describe it with any detail other than wide band, full spectrum emissions that pulse similar to a beating heart
Lt. Kat Maguire
@{#} Callisto: Aye, we receive you.
John Sea
CO: all systems green, distance nominal
Cnslr. Rockman
@::nothing seems to happen and removes the device::
Ens. Marin Walters
XO:  I'm not sure; a feeling.  The answer is elsewhere.
Lt. Kat Maguire
@Cnslr:  We have orders not to place the device on your persons.
Cnslr. Rockman
@Nefani: maybe I can get my own device here to work with your screen
Capt. French
Sea : Acknowledged.
David_AGM
Net: you find no mechanical device on the alien at all...only biological?  yet there is similar emissions like a holo-emitter as well?
Cnslr. Rockman
@::turns to Maguire:: why not?  I've already done it without any effects.
Nefani
@ How?
Lt. Kat Maguire
@Cnslr: Orders from the ship ::shrugs::
David_AGM
::looks to Cameo:: all right...we'll see how your feelings serve you..
Cnslr. Rockman
@::raises Tricorder to try to interface with the screen::
Ensign Tynan
XO: I cannot detect through the hull of the vessel with any degree of efficiency or confidence. As it is my readings are very sketchy at best
Ens. Marin Walters
::glances at XO:: 
Ens. Marin Walters
::thinks, Well, heck::
David_AGM
CO: sir, I suggest we have the AT move to the other energy reading we have picked up...it may mean something important here.
Ensign Tynan
XO: It would seem the energy is generated by the lifeform or is funneled into it somehow
John Sea
CO: engines throwing off standard power outage, currently topping off the main batteries
David_AGM
Net: understood...
Ensign Tynan
:continues to hone in on the energy source::
Capt. French
XO : Agreed .. but have them keep this "Nefani" under constant monitoring.
Cnslr. Rockman
@Nefani: is there another place where we can control this screen?
David_AGM
CO: aye sir...
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::shrugs and walks back towards the doors::
Capt. French
Sea: Time before this becomes a concern /
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::has a bad feeling about this place::
Nefani
@ Not that I know of.  The Link is the only way.
Ensign Tynan
CO: There is a marked increase suddenly in the interval and intensity of the energy pulse around the lifeform
John Sea
CO: topping off the batteries is within the standard cycle no concern
David_AGM
@{#}AT: You are ordered to investigate the other energy reading we have picked up...Ops is going to send you it's coordinates...please keep Nefani with you as well...keep her close.
Capt. French
XO : Suggestion .... do we retrieve the AT or do we wait ?
Capt. French
Sea : Keep me advised.
Lt. Kat Maguire
@{#}Callisto: Aye, waiting on the coordinates
David_AGM
CO: not as yet sir...I think we need to know what that other source of energy is..
Capt. French
Tynan : Threatening to the AT ?
Ens. Marin Walters
::transmits coordinates::  Move 500 meters southeast from current position, maintain all vigilance.
John Sea
Ens. Walters: status on transporter lock, any problems?
Capt. French
Troop : OK ... but their safety is paramount.
Ensign Tynan
CO: I cannot be sure. The energy itself does stray into bands that could prove harmful, but only after long exposure.
Ens. Marin Walters
Sea:  Lock is still on.  We can get them back.
David_AGM
CO: understood sir...
Cnslr. Rockman
@::scans the Link controller to try to interface the Tricorder with it::
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::gathers up Counselor and Nefani::  Cnslr: We are ordered to investigate a reading further down the corridor and we are to take Nefani with us
Capt. French
Tynan : Keep the AT informed of this and Warn SB for possible radiation hazard and casualties.
Cnslr. Rockman
@Maguire: let me finish this scan first.
Ens. Marin Walters
All:  I have a lock on the Nefani also.
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::stands waiting not very patiently::
Capt. French
:: heads jerks toward Walters :: What ? .. you have a lock on this ... "Nefani" ?
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::removes phaser and sets it to heavy stun::
John Sea
::watches navigational deflector catch a piece of debris, turning it into a split second rainbow across the bow...that’s pretty...::
Ensign Tynan
{#}Maguire: There is a danger of radiation exposure in the vicinity of the AT, please keep scanning for such problems
Ens. Marin Walters
Captain:  I've been fiddling.  I can beam it aboard on your command.
Lt. Kat Maguire
@{#} Callisto: Acknowledge
Cnslr. Rockman
@Maguire: if I can interface my Tricorder...Ah! got something!
David_AGM
Net: is the radiation above medium tolerance levels?
Lt. Kat Maguire
@::looks at the counselor::
Ensign Tynan
XO: It is currently at low levels. Barely dangerous at all
Ens. Marin Walters
::watches status of systems on console::
Capt. French
Walters : Hold that thought <grins> .. but transfer all Transporter Systems reading to the Computer for analysis .. this could give us an idea from where she's comin'.
Ens. Marin Walters
CO:  Already done, sir; analysis started.
Cnslr. Rockman
@Maguire: it's not everything, but I might be able to get about 50% control over this.  Would that be worth it?
David_AGM
Net: if it jackknifes up...suddenly or not...give the command for immediate beam out.
Ensign Tynan
XO: Aye, sir
Ens. Marin Walters
::grins to self at efficiency::
Capt. French
:: smiles at the everlasting Walter's efficiency::
Lt. Kat Maguire
@Cnslr: Maybe you should check with the CO first?
Ens. Marin Walters
::a step ahead, as always::
