Host Tim says:
The U.S.S. Serenas and the U.S.S. Kukrus are waiting for the Dublin to join them at the testing area Whiskey Charlie - 24, 8 light years from the Sol system. The Dublin has left the Utopia Planita Yards and has made it's way on impulse to the edge of the Sol system about to go to warp.

Host Tim says:

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::in the computer core going over all past access and any anomalies in the Dublin's programming::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Sits at her station and begins running constant dialogistic checks on the tactical systems while McCann preps ships weapons for testing later.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::on the bridge, at his chair, observing the Helm Officer taking her station again::  FCO:  How long until we reach the edge of the system?

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::enters the bridge from sickbay to see who is there

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: in engineering trying to access the mystery files ::  Computer: Access linked files, authorization Kell-zeta-357

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::enters the bridge from the opposite turbolift and sees Tessa across the way, and smiles at her, then goes to his station at science II::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Holding at impulse sir, but almost at the edge of the system. We should reach it in two minutes.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
*CEO*:  Kell?  Any progress on your friend?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  How is she doing so far?

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*XO*: I am attempting to gain access now commander.  And commander I may be a Cardassian but I think I could arrange better company for myself than the ships computer

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Sees the look between the XO and Quon and thinks to self about her friend fondly, "Get a room..."::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::raises and eye to the Kressari officer assuming the secondary station on science::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Helm seems to be operating normally at the moment.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
*CEO*: Well, it seems to like you an awful lot, even if you don't have reciprocal feelings.  ::smiles::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Anything unusual I should know, Tessa?

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::'touches" Quon as she senses him on the bridge, then moves over to his station:: CIV:  Any luck getting into the computer to find out why it's calling our engineer?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::mumbles to herself as she goes over the code:: There doesn't seem to be anything....let me check over the files.  Hmmmm.....here little file....come on.  Show yourself......don't be shy.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::clears throat::  XO:  Regarding the ship's systems, of course?

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*XO*: Very true commander, but you did have your chance to be mine first, now you will have to settle for being next after the computer

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Nothing but what we know already sir.  And that's unusual enough.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, we've reached the edge of the Sol System now. Shall I take us to warp?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO/XO: Tactical systems nominal...so far...::She added, as she continued her scans worriedly.::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::checks in for the first time on his console, finding it to be more advanced than his old one from that old Excelsior clunker:: XO: I'm investigating some possibilities.... ::looks up at her with a grin:: ....commander. ::chuckles:: That just sounds so odd to call you that.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Contact the Serenas and check our new orders.  We will if ordered.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::chuckles::  *CEO*:  Don't worry, I'm not the jealous type.  ::turns back to Quon.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Aye sir.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "I hope our Top Engineer is as good as he thinks he is..."::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::whispers back:: CIV:  I think it does too...I'm not particularly fond of titles.  ::smiles at Quon::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: Sir I am unable to access those unidentified programs still.  However the ships systems seem to be operating above tolerance, almost as if fine tuned

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: contacts the Serenas :: COM: Serenas: Serenas, this is the Dublin. We need a confirmation on our orders. Please respond.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::hits her fist against the console in irritation when she can't get into the files:: Self: Now this is ridiculous.  ::sits back in the chair and stares at the computer thinking::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::frowns slightly::  *CEO*:  Above of what we would consider high performance?  You mean, an unusual performance?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Overhears the CO and CEO's conversation, "I'm sure the other shoe will drop soon.." She thinks to herself as the diagnostics continue.::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  I can't believe that someone could get on this ship and we have no video or signatures of tampering with the computer...

Host Capt_Lomas says:
@COM: Dublin: Your orders are confirmed. We await your arrival at WC-24.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
COM: Serenas: Dublin acknowledges. Over and out.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::nods his head knowingly with Tessa's words as he starts getting familiarized with his new bridge assignment:: XO: It may have easily been a remote intrusion while communications were active.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Keep those scans working Lieutenant...  now it is time to testing.  ::smiles::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: Affirmative sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  Remote?  But aren't there safeguards against that?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::notices some looks between the XO and CIV, but ignores it... as far as he knows, they are good friends::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: turns in her chair to face the Captain :: CO: Serenas confirms our orders sir and they await us at WC-24.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: Aye Sir, Yes Sir. ::Informs McCann in the torpedo room to ready for testing.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::decides to go the obvious route:: Computer: Isolate these three files and tell me when they were created.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: I still haven't gone over all the limited details on your last mission. Maybe you all encountered something that could've bypassed the safeguards. A virus of some kind produced by a foreign computer?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Good, Commander...  lay course, warp 8 and engage.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Quietly crosses fingers for a moment as they jump to warp.::

Host Tim says:
<Computer>OPS: Files are isolated.  Created on Stardate 10410.15.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::takes a seat at the other science console::  CIV:  I hadn't thought of that.  We were in unfamiliar territory around foreign ships and we did have an visitor aboard that was telepathic

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: smiles :: CO: Yes Captain, laying in course and engaging warp engines. :: taps the panel :: Warp 8 initiated.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE DUBLIN GOES TO WARP BUT THE EXPECTED FLASH OF STARS ISN'T THERE... INSTEAD THE VIEW IS ALL LIGHT BLUE

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::considers that possibility::  CIV:  In fact, they controlled their ship with their minds, I believe?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  That is odd, the least to say...  all systems?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
Computer: Who created these files and from what station?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "I KNEW IT, we're so in for it." franticly conducts tactical scans of the area.::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: True, but you and I both know that telepathy cannot encode data into computer memory.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::eyes to the view screen::  FCO:  Cas...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: stares at the view screen :: CO: Sir, engines engaged but......

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  What is that?  ::leans and puts his elbow on the chair arm::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  It can't?  Then how did they control the ship?  They used telepathy, not telekinesis.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Unknown sir. Perhaps science can tell us.

Host Tim says:
<Computer>OPS: Those files were created by Lt. Kell, from main engineering.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::squints his eyes at the view screen:: Aloud: Did the monitor just burn out? ::shrugs, feigning confusion::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::turns head and glances over Science::  CIV:  Mr. Quon, can you enlighten the situation for us?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Are we moving?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Confused at the no readings from tactical, continues to run diagnostics and scans.::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: All engineering systems at least sir.  According to the computer the ship is traveling at warp 8.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::mutters to herself before speaking up again:: Computer: What is the purpose of these files?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: All panels and readings show us to be moving at warp 8.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CO: It appears space around us is normal.... ::runs a quick system diagnostic::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: Nothing on Tac Sir...I don't get it...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::leans back on his chair::  *CEO*:  Keep your eyes on those power levels.  If you find that we're in trouble, let me know ASAP.

Host Tim says:
<Computer>OPS: That is for Pirak to answer. :: a chuckle is heard::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CIV: Could there be an unexplained anomaly causing this?

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: runs a diagnostic to see if the programs are affecting the engineering systems :: *CO*:Of course captain you will be the second to know

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
ALL:  This is peculiar... ::scratches his chin, narrowing his eyes a bit::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: Yes Sir...::Puzzlement evident in her tone.::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks at the computer systems and then 'concentrates' on those, 'seeing' if there is any sign of biocirciutry that may be accessed with her mind::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
FCO: No, ma'am. Instruments show all is as it should be. We simply cannot see it on screen. Maybe the imaging micro crystals in the screen have been depolarized somehow.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at Tessa, realizes she's trying something::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Drop to impulse.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Self: Pirak?  So now the computer is on a first name basis with him, eh? ::looks back at the computer:: Computer: Pirak is not here...so why don't you tell me.  I'm sure he won't mind.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CIV/CO: Without the stars, I have no navigational markers to mark our course.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Aye sir, dropping to impulse. :: taps the controls ::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CO: Captain, the best test would be to simply look out the nearest porthole. It could just be the video feed on the screen.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Are sensors picking up the regular space?  Stars, space dust, everything that should be out there?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CIV:  I agree.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::As diagnostics on the tactical systems loop she glances over at science.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::stands and walks to his Ready Room::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE DUBLIN DROPS FROM WARP AND THERE ARE NO STARS, NOTHING BUT A TEAL BLUE SPACE

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CO: Aye, sir. Everything right down the merest electrons being bounced off the navigational array. All is as it should be by my instruments.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
All: This is not good...

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Mumbles to self, "I got a bad feeling about this...::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::her eyes widen as she does sense another mind.  Speaks distractedly as she keeps a 'touch' on it::  CO:  Captain?  I sense a presence...another mind...light hearted thoughts...immature yet...like a child.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Sir, impulse engines responded, but as you can see there are still no stars out there.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::as the doors open, he looks at the window, seeing nothing but blue::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::eyes widen with surprise and looks at Tessa::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: Captain we have dropped to impulse, I show no systems failure down here.  Was the test successful?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
ALL:  Well, at least the view screen is operational. ::returns to his chair::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::continues to 'search' harder::  CIV:  Do your scans show an alien presence?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "Not another alien child.." she thinks remembering another incident with the XO.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  We have a slight problem here, Pirak.  Our tests will have to wait.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: Sir is there blue out the porthole as well?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: ALL AT ONCE SENSOR AND NAVIGATIONAL AIDS COME ON.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: Of course captain, I stand at the ready.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Can you contact him... or her, somehow?

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::closes his eyes, and tries to focus his own weak empathic sense, but feels nothing:: Self: Hmm... not sensitive enough.... ::checks his sensors:: XO: None at all, Tess....Commander.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sighs:: *CEO*: Pirak....can you please instruct the computer to tell me what these isolated files do?  It says that only you can do that.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: shakes her head confused :: CO: Captain, I have all navigational systems back online but our position has changed.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Aye.  ::sits::  So you are not picking up anything unusual too, I take?

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::closes her eyes to shut out the rest of the talk on the bridge::  Alien presence: ~~~Who are you?  I know you're there.  Please speak to me.  You're tampering with our systems.  It could hurt us!~~~

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Is paying attention to the conversations flowing around her while keeping an eye on her station.::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*OPS*: Certainly ensign.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Thank you, Mr. Kell.  For now, give Ensign Clooney some assistance.  I have a feeling that this is linked to those files, somehow.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::"hears" bits and pieces of Tessa's telepathic call::

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: You can talk to me?!!~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: We are back to the coordinates where we returned from Nacandarian space......in Skree territory sir, but that would have taken more than two weeks to make.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: Yes Sir, not a nothing out of place but not being entirely in control of our computers it would be hard to say with any certainty what is and isn't working.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: The computer can make any reading possible...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::listens to his wife's report::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::and Harker's::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: Yes captain I am already assisting OPS.  Kell out.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~Mytana:  I can.  Why are you bothering our ship?  We wish you no harm.~~~

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Computer: Specify the purpose of programs linked to Pirak Kell.

Host Mytana says:
CEO: So I can talk to you Pirak.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: turns to look at Mackie :: CO: Mackie, it's just not possible.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Wait a moment...  ::stands and slowly walks towards the pit::  FCO:  Are you telling me that we have traveled two weeks in regular warp speed in a few seconds?

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::says in a far off voice:: CO: Captain, I'm speaking with mind.  I'm trying to find out who and what it is doing.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::taps her fingers impatiently on the console as she waits for the CEO to update her::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::starts running a level 5 diagnostic on the navigational array and lateral sensor pallets as he hear what sounds like Tessa questioning somebody, but isn't picking up enough to make out the context of it::

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: I am not bothering you.  You caught me and I want to go home.~~~ ::sounds like a child::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::lays a hand on the Kressari's arm, getting a bit nervous after her last encounter with a child::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: shakes her head :: CO: It appears so. Look at the readings for yourself. :: points at the console ::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: looks around for source of the voice :: Mytana: Yes of course you may speak to me

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Try to get as much information as possible.

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: Make that one go away. ::sounds like a pouting child::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::radiates surprise::  ~~~Mytana: We did not know this happened to you.  I only stumbled onto your presence just now.  ~~~

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::looks up at Tessa, wondering what she is discussing and with whom::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::While watching her station she keeps an eye on the xo, worried for her safety.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::turns to the tactical station::  CTO:  I understand, Paige, but do your best to have your scanners operational and let me know if we are in danger.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~Mytana: Maybe we can help you escape.  Do you know how you came to be in the ship?~~~

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: in his best soothing voice :: Mytana: Which one would that be?

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: The one trying to fool around with the computer, not the nice one talking to me.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: I'll try Sir...::keeps running the checks and tactical scans as best she can.::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CO: I don't understand. All my diagnostics show we're in normal space under normal laws of physics...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks down at the FCO's console::  FCO:  Full stop.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: If I do will you tell me why you are here?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon/CO: All normal on my end too.....

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: I don't know. You're confusing me.  I want to talk to Pirak, he's nice.~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: brings the Dublin to a full stop :: CO: Full stop Captain.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::looks confused at Paige, then back to the captain again::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Looks at Quon and shrugs.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at Paige once again, pondering for a moment... he's not really having too much confidence on the ship's systems at the moment::

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: I like you. ::sounds like a young female with a crush::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~Mytana:  I'm sorry.  Can you tell me how got in our ship so we can let you out?~~~

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::starts to build firewalls around the isolated files:: *CEO*: Have you been able to determine what those files are for?  I need to find out if they have infected any of our other systems.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*OPS*: Ensign could you please hold your diagnosis.  Apparently you are bothering our guest

Host Mytana says:
~~~::Sends an immense mental sound to stop this voice::~~~

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::puzzled:: *CEO*: Guest?  What are you talking about?

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::winces a bit as a portion of the sounds gets to him, but not so bad, but then looks at Tessa with concern::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  The presence doesn't want to talk to me, Quon, she told me to....  ::covers her ears and opens her eyes suddenly::  All:  Ahhhh!

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: I only want to talk to you. ::sounds like pouting child again::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::leaps from her station to the XO's side.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::holds Tessa's hand::  XO:  Tessa? Are you okay?

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: Thank you, you are quiet pleasant too.  I am trying to get the others to stop bothering you

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: Can you come home with me?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
XO: Ma’am are you alright?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Hand hovers near one of her arms ready to assist if she falls or needs help.::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*OPS*: Yes guest.  Apparently our computer has become sentient and wants to speak with me.  But finds you...annoying

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::holds Tessa's other hand and closes his eyes, managing only one word:: ~~~Mytana: Stop!~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::catches her breath::  All:  She...screamed at me or something.  ::rubs her head and then closes her eyes again, this time erecting her mental shields:: ~~~Mytana:  Please...I'm not trying to hurt you.  I want to help.~~~

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon/CO: Perhaps she should sit down.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Backs off seeing the XO in good hands, watches carefully.::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: Where is home?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::nods::  XO:  Here, take a seat.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Now, what is going on?

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain, it's a female voice...

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::stars to feel dizzy from his own exertion of empathic usage, and steadies himself::

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO/Civ: GRRRALF!!!~~~

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon: You better sit too...

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::now irritated as well as puzzled:: *CEO*: Okay....I'm going to come down to engineering where you are.  We need to isolate this.  I'll be right there. ::heads out of the computer core and to the nearest turbo lift::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*OPS*: I await your arrival.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon/XO: Whatever you're doing I don't think the entity wants to hear it, she looks at Mia.::
 
FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: looks behind her and wonders what is happening since she's not telepathic except when it comes to her children and husband ::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: Captain could you please have everyone hold what there are doing with the computer.  It seems enamored with me and only wishes to speak with me.  It finds everyone else annoying

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::her eyes open again and she sits back against the chair, this time not hurt as badly::  CO/CIV:  She yelled something...something alien it sounded like.

Host Mytana says:
::A set of coordinates appear on Kell's screen; it is where the "tunnel" to Nacandarian space came into Fed space::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO/CIV:  She told me that got trapped and wants to go back home.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Enamored?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::a crewmen tosses Harker a survival bottle of water from the kit on the bridge and Harker hands it to the XO.::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::helps Tessa sit down as he does so and takes a deep breath:: CO/XO: Whatever it is, the entity certainly is rude.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO/CIV:  I don't think she cares to talk me anymore though.

Host Mytana says:
Pirark: That is the way home.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self "great another child and this one has a crush on our CEO"::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::steps into the turbo lift:: TL: Main engineering.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Very well.  I won't even ask.  MacLeod out.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: We have been there just recently.  Why do you wish me to return?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
*CEO*: See if this 'guest' has infiltrated any other systems?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
ALL:  Alright, from now on, we will let Mr. Kell deal with the situation.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::feels a slight pain in the back of his head:: Self: Oh dear.... XO: This pain is unusual...

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: That is where I live.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*OPS*: My dear ensign this will have to be done very carefully, not a matter of simply typing in a data request.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: Yes sir.

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: Actually on the other side of there.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Well... a female voice you say.  ::walks back to the lower deck::  And the entity is enamored with Pirak.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
XO/Quon: Whatever you two did I suggest you not do it anymore, obviously it just upsets it.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
*CEO*:  Kell?  Remember what the last alien did with us.  Be very careful.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::hates it when he puts on his smarmy tone but ignores it:: *CEO*: Understood.

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: Is this one the smartest one to help me?~~~

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: Why did we not notice you?  A race of beings that seem so caring we certainly would have wanted to make contact.  :: keeping his best straight face as he lays it on thick ::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  Quon, are you alright?  You felt that too, didn't you?

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::glances at Harker:: CTO: You can be sure of that. I've never been telepathically attacked before.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::never having the experience does the best she can at sympathizing.::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: I did, though probably not as much as you. I'm just not used to such forms of stress.

Host Mytana says:
::sighs:: Pirak: We are not like you or the others on this vessel.  Our... form is different.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
ALL:  But now, why are we here?  Does it have anything to do with our last mission?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon: That’s the problem isn't it? the first time you're under attack is never a pretty one.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::is surprised to hear the child 'speak' again:: ~~~Mytana:  He cannot talk to you telepathically.  And he can only perform physical functions to help you.  Please tell me how you came to be in here?~~~

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon: Maybe you could learn shields or something, telepaths have shields right?

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*XO*: Oh yes Commander...by the way I must remember to tell your husband how wonderfully you danced.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::enters main engineering and heads over to Pirak.  Hears the computer and stops beside Kell without saying anything::

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: I was drawn in as you traversed from my home to here.~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: sits back and looks over her systems casually while she waits for the outcome of their little problem ::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: Could you show me your true form.  I would enjoy seeing the being that has such a caring voice

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CTO: That is....a proper assessment, yes... ::rubs his head from the ache:: I'm not disciplined in my....talent. It is somewhat new to me.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~Mytana:  Do you know what pulled you into the ship?  What did it feel like?~~~  ::tries to think how to word things in a way a child would understand::

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: Well... I'm not sure your friend there would like it.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::clears her throat::  *CEO*: We can discuss that later...lieutenant.  Keep trying to talk to the child.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon: Yes well I think some training would be a top priority for you, especially here we seem to run into our fair share of telepaths, maybe you could help take the load off the XO.::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: But you have come to speak with me...do not worry about my friend’s reaction.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::hears the broken bits of telepathic dialogue again:: CTO: If this keeps up, I may have to prescribe myself some psilosynine or lexorin...

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO/CIV:  She says she was pulled into our ship when we traveled from her home to here.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::realizes Tessa is probably in contact to the entity again::  FCO:  I do not like this.  I am feeling powerless.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon:Do you need a medic?

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: You can stop thinking of me as a baby... I'm 300 of your years in age.  I was drawn in when your vessel traversed from my space to here.~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks at Quon, already worried about the symbient relationship:: CIV:  Do you need to go to sickbay?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks at Kell and then back at the computer console and then back at Kell again.:: Mytana: It's okay.  I'm a little curious to see you also, if you don't mind.

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: Come look at your core flow.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: turns to look at the core ::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: I know the feeling sir. We all do at this point.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO: In which point exactly?  Normal space or crossing the tunnel?

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CTO: No, no. I'll be ok. I'm more concerned for the commander actually. XO: Please don't risk it with that creature. There's no telling the extent of its power.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks also::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~Mytana:  I meant no disrespect.  I'm doing what I can to help, but we need clearer details from you then...if you've been around for that long.  We have to know what pulled you in, so we can turn it off.~~~

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Worried for the telepaths asks that a medic be sent to the bridge on standby with a kit.::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: AS MIA AND PIRAK LOOK AT THE CORE AN IMAGE OF A YOUNG CARDASSIAN GIRL IN HER TWENTIES APPEARS

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  I don't think she'll hurt me.  She knows I'm trying to help now.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: I just wish I could track whatever it is. Develop some way to protect us from its influence...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Check the sensor logs from our last mission, try to find anything unusual.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Really wishes she knew what was going on in engineering.::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  Quon, she needs to get out.  Something drew her in.  I'm trying to find out what.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CIV:  Perhaps there's something we have overlooked.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: You are Cardassian like myself?  A very beautiful Cardassian at that.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CO: Aye, sir...was there anything in particular that I should review? Some kind of event that stood out among everything else that was involved?

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~Mytana:  Our Captain wants to know which part of space.  When we were in the tunnel?  Or past that?~~~

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: Although I must admit that 300 of your years still makes me a young child with my people.  I believe something your fleet of ships did pull me into this vessel~~~

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CIV:  I do not recall anything that could have implicated such thing.... but begin with the sensor logs from our return, when we have crossed the tunnel.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CEO: Ask her if she can come out of the core so we can help her better.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Mr. Kell, report.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::resists the urge to poke him in the ribs and tell him to stop looking at the creature's legs::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: Captain our guest was just revealing her form to OPS and myself.

Host Mytana says:
::Her laughter rolls through engineering:: Pirak: I merely thought you'd like this form.  I look like this. ::a light blue energy column forms next to the core::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::punches up video logs on the incident and starts looking over the timeframe in which the Dublin crossed the strange tunnel from Nacandarian space::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CIV: I'll help.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
Self:  Uh oh...  ::glances at the Captain, remembering the shock wave that was caused::  ~~~Mytana: Was the something that occurred a powerful force you couldn't see?~~~

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at the bridge crew::  *CEO*:  Is that so?  And how does she look like?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CIV: If you send half the readouts to my station I can go over them with you.

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: Yes, yes... that's it.~~~

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CO*: We are still being shown, I will have to get back to you sir :: closes comm ::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CTO: Will do. I'll send the latter half to you. ::makes the transfer and starts the video and data feed from the beginning::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks at the energy and can't help saying out loud:: Mytana: Wow....you are pretty just like that.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE BLUE COLUMN SHIFTS BACK TO THAT OF THE YOUNG CARDASSIAN FEMALE

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CIV: Thanks. ::Studies intently the readouts as they appear on her screen, noting the tactical diagnostics still running in a small sub-screen in the corner.

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: I think you like this better.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Cas, assist Lieutenants Quon and Harker.  There is a huge amount of information to analyze.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: watches as Mytana takes form :: Mytana: Is that your true form, you are even more lovely.  Please can you come closer?

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
Self: Hmm....energy bolts, like lighting. High concentrations of positively charged atoms....

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: nods ::  CO: Of course Captain, right away.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  Please look at the files about the shock wave caused.  I believe that started the alien's problems.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: Shockwave? ::reels back the time index to find logs of a shockwave occurring::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::prefers the blue light herself but keeps quiet::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain?  I think I know what stuck this alien girl into our ship...

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: Well the form of a Cardassian is simply more familiar to me.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Catches the XO's words and shifts focus to all files she has relating to the energy wave.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: pulls up the sensor logs from their Nacandarian mission ::

Host Mytana says:
Pirak: I can... ::undulates toward Kell and as she does so touches Kell and he reacts as though shocked; knock a meter back onto deck barely breathing::

Host Mytana says:
<<<Pause Mission>>>
