Host Tim says:
Enroute to testing area Whiskey Charlie 24 the Dublin was taken to what appeared to be a type of "super" warp and ended up just outside Skree space, near where the Dublin had exited the "tunnel" from the Nacandarian universe, with an unexpected passenger.

Host Tim says:
This entity has formed a bond with the CEO Lt Kell and has occasionally sent her thoughts to Lt Cmdr Jakiel. Many questions remain to be answered.

Host Mytana says:
::Races to stand over Kell and Clooney as Clooney contemplates giving mouth to mouth resuscitation::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV/CSO:  Anything figured out yet about how the shockwave could have put the alien in here?

Host Mytana says:
Kell: I was afraid of that. ::sighs but the sound is like a soft "whooose"::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Turns to the CSO and CIV curious as well.::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: It's taking a bit to cut through all the sensor anomalies and ghosts, but I think I have a potential point of interest here. ::keeps his eyes on the monitor::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
FCO: It may be a life form that lived inside the "tunnel". But I am just assuming it because we don't have much information right now.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: gets up onto his feet :: Myanta: I must say that was one of the most memorable encounters I can remember  :: a half grin on his face ::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: smiles :: CSO: I know you're doing your best Ensign, keep at it.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CIV: Can you patch it through to my monitor?

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  Good.  We need to get her home as soon as possible.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CSO: A valid hypothesis, ensign...one I believe may prove integral to our problem here. ::finds something of interest from another part of the logs::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::relaxes and focuses::  ~~~Mytana: We're working on finding a way to allow you to leave the ship.  Can you tell me what it felt like when you were drawn to our ship?  Or were you thrown into it?

Host Mytana says:
~~~XO: It hurt. I was watching and then I was inside your ship.~~~

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: Commander, come see this, please. ::points to the engineering logs::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Commander, we're holding position for the moment. Do you have any new orders?

Host Mytana says:
Kell: I sorry... I was hoping that you'd be different.  That we could actually touch.  ::the image is one of a very sad Cardassian girl::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
::searching in the internal sensors logs for a energy fluctuation since we were in Nacandarian space until now::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: has an idea, goes to the locker and gets one of the power crystals used in Nacandarian space.  Holding it in his hand :: Mytana: Would you come close to me again please.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  This seems to be the last place our 'guest' lived, so we need to stay near it.  Keep holding position for now and watch for any other ships.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::moves to stand behind Quon:: CIV: What is it?

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: According to this, those three files Mr. Kell supposedly created have time stamps on them that coincide with the exact same time when he replaced the dilithium crystals for Nacandarian space travel with normal Federation ones.

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
CIV: Maybe the logs of our internal sensors can show us the exactly time the life form were attached to us. ::looking at So'Quon::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Aye ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Figures he's too intent on his work and leans on the other side of him to look at the screen.::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  Is that right?  Notify Mr. Kell of your findings.  The crystals could have drawn her to us?  Or the void when he changed them?

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: That's it. I found out when it happened. ::with a small smile on his face::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: I am clearing the readings now.

Host Mytana says:
Kell: Will you be alright?  ::the image shimmies::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Yes?

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: It's possible, but then again, I'm still not sure how this all connects. I will contact the Lieutenant immediately.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: If my idea is correct I will be fine.  Now come closer so I might see you better.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CSO: Yes,  what’s the theory?

Host Mytana says:
::approaches Kell slowly and stops a meter from him::  Kell: What idea is that?

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: I detected an energy spike just when the Dublin entered the Tunnel.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV/ CSO:  The alien girl told me it hurt to come inside our ship.  She said she was only watching us and then suddenly was inside of the Dublin.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: turns to listen to the bridge conversation ::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: I believe that this crystal I used in the engines links our worlds.  That my touching it to install it allowed you to know of me and become bonded to me.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Steps back but listens intently to the conversation, trying to think of something...::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO: The energy spike as we entered the tunnel and then it was later that Mr Kell changed the crystals?  How much later?

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
Computer: Which sensor exactly detected the spike of energy? Where was it originated?

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant Kell? This is Lieutenant So'Quon. I must inform you that the entity's presence here is quite possibly related to exactly the time when you swapped the Nacandarian crystals with normal ones on your last mission.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*CIV*: Thank you Lieutenant, but I have already assumed as much.  Now please, I do have a guest to entertain.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Shares a look of 'I wish I'd were doing something useful only that would mean we're being shot at' look with the security officer by the Bridge doors before returning her attention to the conversation at hand.::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
*CEO*: I see. We're developing some theories on how to restore the entity back to where it came from. Maybe if you devise something, we can compare notes?

Host Mytana says:
Kell: Well, it is something like that.  The dilithium crystal that was being used allowed us to "see" inside your vessels.  When I was pulled into your core I could link with your ship but then you changed something.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::overhears the chief engineer since she is standing so close to Quon::  *CEO*:  Mr. Kell, would you ask our guest to please come to the bridge?  You may escort her here if she would feel more comfortable.

Host Tim says:
<Computer>CSO: The energy spike you are researching occurred during the transit from Nacandarian space.  It was monitored by the sensors monitoring the core.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::glances at the CTO as he listens to the comm::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: turns back to check on the helm readings and adjusts for a slight variance in position ::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: I had to change to different type of crystal when we entered Nacandarian space.  The subspace frequency causes our dilithium crystals crack and break.  So you were trapped in the engines when I changed crystals?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Shrugs at the CIV, frustrated this is out of her area of knowledge.::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: The entity might have been attracted by our core.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Commander, do you think that it is wise to have an alien on the bridge considering the delicacy of the information here?

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*XO*: Momentarily commander, I am having a very enlightening conversation with our guest

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CTO: Ma'am? How good is your quantum physics?

Host Mytana says:
Kell: Apparently.  I then transferred to your core and to gain communication with you I accessed your computer.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: Would you like to accompany me to the bridge?  You would get the chance to see more of the ship and we could spend more time together

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: That's the exactly sensor that detected the spike.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CIV: Not the best I'm afraid I get so far then my brain wants to explode or shoot something which explains why I am such a good shot. ::A quick grin::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  The alien has been in our computers already, hasn't she?  I

Host Mytana says:
::chuckles:: Kell: There is little of your ship that I don't already know.  I can meet you there if you wish.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV: Only fair.  But try to explain, please?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: nods :: XO: Apparently she has Commander, but I believe she should be confined to engineering for the time being.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::gets up and goes to tactical, looking at Paige's console:: CTO: Do we have any Q2 torpedoes? Quantums I mean.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: with a smarmy smile :: Mytana: Then I will join you there shortly

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods to the CSO in acknowledgement of what he was telling her and listens to Quon::

Host Mytana says:
::gives Kell a big smile and drifts toward the core::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
*XO*: Commander, Mia and myself are in route to the bridge.  Our guest will appear there shortly, please be kind to our guest

Host Mytana says:
::Glides into the core and disappears::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  I'm not sure she can be confined.  CSO:  Ensign, is it possible to constrain her through force fields?  Or could angering her be a danger?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CIV: Afraid not, why? ::Looks curious.::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: motions for Mia to enter the turbolift first and then follows her in ::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
*CEO*:  Thank you for speaking to our guest and I take your meaning.  I remember our last encounter with an alien.

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: Well, if the readings are correct, "she" is inside the core. She may be damaged or damage us. The only thing for sure is that she has very high level of quantum energy.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
Self: Hmm, maybe.... CTO: I'm not sure. I was thinking of rigging a quantum torpedo to destabilize just after launch, enough so that it could generate a kind of fissure in the fabric of space itself.... ::starts to pace around a bit, mumbling random ideas to himself::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: She proved already that is capable of interact with us.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: exits the turbo lift onto the bridge and walks towards the XO, Mia takes her station at OPS  ::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Eye brow raises just a bit.:: CIV: Blowing up space again seems to me a bad idea...

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Gets up to stand near the XO when their 'guest' arrives.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO: She isn't corporeal and so I'm afraid she may be able to go where she wants.

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: She can Ma’am.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "This is not a comfortable situation, I hope this alien isn't intent on some type of destruction..."::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: I have an idea.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CSO: Even non-corporeal beings can be.... ::holds his thought as he sees the CEO appear on the bridge::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: shrugs and goes back to her work ::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
XO: Commander our guest should be here momentarily.  From what I have been able to find.  Mytana was brought on board while we were using dilithium crystals in Nacandarian space, before I swapped them out.  Changing the crystals trapped her here.  The only way she could communicate was thru the computer

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::hand starts for hand phaser but gesture is quickly suppressed.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::finishes going over the data, stands, tugs his jacket and heads to the door::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::hopes she hasn't been too naive once again trusting the alien girl, but it is her nature to put out a friendly hand::

Host Tim says:
ACTION; A BRIGHT FLASH SURROUNDS THE READY ROOM REPLICATOR AS MYTANA RESUMES THE IMAGE OF A CARDASSIAN GIRL

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods to Kell::  CEO:  So perhaps if we reverse the process it may allow her to be free of our ship?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::leaves Ready Room::  XO:  Report.  ::heads to his chair::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CO: Captain, behind you. ::points to the flash beyond the open ready room door::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Mirrors the CIV's pointing with her own at same time.::

Host Mytana says:
::Turns to look at the Captain's back as he leaves the ready room::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::turns to Mauro::  CO:  We're holding position by the exit of where the 'tunnel' used to be.

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: There are some residual subspace disturbances at the point of the tunnel. Maybe we can go there, change the crystals again and generate an energy blast capable of opening the passage for short moment. At that time with the Nac crystals, we can give her a shock to make her release the ship if she is not capable of do by herself.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
XO: I am not sure she wants to go back

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
It seems the alien girl belongs there and was trapped within our core after being drawn to the ship.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::thinks he's seen something happening in the Ready Room::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
The crystals may be her conduit.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::turns on his feet and walks back inside::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Immediately tries to follow, not waiting her captain to be left alone with it. Slips in behind him.::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  That sounds like a viable solution.  Discuss this with Mr. So'Quon and Mr. Kell.

Host Mytana says:
::glides toward the Captain being careful to maintain a safe distance.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: wonders why Mackie is taking so long in his ready room ::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods to Harker, seeing what she is about and is in agreement with::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::watches a bright light surrounding the replicator, and a Cardassian girl materialized right in front of him::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: Yes Ma’am. ::turns to Mister Quon::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Just before the doors close, Harker nods back and turns her attention to the Captain and the Alien.::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Fights urge to step in front of the CO.::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::gazes at the Cardassian girl approaching the Captain with serious intent::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CEO:  I'm sorry, you said she may not want to return home?  ::is surprised with his statement::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
XO: Apparently not without me.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Mytana:  Greetings... ::analyzes her::

Host Mytana says:
::Looks around the room:: CO: Where is Pirak?

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
CIV: Maybe we can go to the point of the tunnel and repeat all the process backward.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Nods in greeting when her eyes flicker to her.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Mytana:  He is right here, on the bridge.  How may I help you?

Host Mytana says:
CO: He said to meet him here.  ::Flutters her lashes at the Captain and smiles::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CSO: Can we generate and maintain an energy stream of that magnitude long enough to reopen the tunnel?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Nods at the Captain.:: *CEO*: To the Captain’s Ready Room Please.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Mytana:  Very well.  ::looks at Paige and nods as she calls him::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
CIV: Maybe for a brief moment. ::analyzing the amount of energy necessary to open the tunnel::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: moves quickly to the ready room :: *CTO*: Of course Lieutenant,

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::takes a few steps closer to the science/engineering trio to listen, but keeps her senses 'attuned' to the alien::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Steps to other side of the Captain out of the way of the door.::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO/SO: Sorry to interrupt, but how much harm could the alien do to our bodies?

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
CIV: Of course, we have to calculate it with the Nac crystals. ::eyebrow raised::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::looks at the CSO's calculations:: CSO: Hmm, we may need to take some non-essential systems offline for this to work.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: Enters the ready room :: CO: I see you have meant our guest captain, quite attractive if I do say so  :: grins :: isnt she

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Mentally rolls eyes at the CEO's comments, "How does Mia put up with him?" She thinks to herself.::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
CIV: But first, we have to change the crystals.

Host Mytana says:
::the aura brightens as Kell enters; she moves closer to Kell::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: Ma’am, we have to analyze mister Kell to see what happened.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
XO: Well, the quantum energy is intense with her presence here, but it is of no danger to us yet. Her energy point is very stable. No radiation threat to my knowledge.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: I see you have already met our captain.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Cassie, how far are we to the exit of where the tunnel used to be?  And is there anything dangerous radiating from that area?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::While everyone ignores her she quietly runs a scan on the CEO from behind the Captain.::

Host Mytana says:
Kell: Yes... he's almost as interesting as you Pirak. ::she says Pirak with a soft but deep husky voice::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: checks their position :: XO: We're 4.786 light years from when we exited the tunnel. Checking for radiation.

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CSO: This is true. It will be up to Mr. Kell to make that change in crystals.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Face doesn't change expression but thinks to self, "Oh brother..."::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: Ah but not nearly as interesting as you.  Please tell the captain how you got here and what you wish of us.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Radiation is below the dangerous range for us.

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
CIV: But he is a little busy right now. ::with a nice smile to mister Quon::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Let's give the captain and Mr. Kell a few minutes first.  The alien seems to stay calm around the Lieutenant's presence and I think it is best to keep her that way.  ::rubs her head, remembering the mental shout she was hit with::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::whispers:: XO: She is so near to us, I am amazed we're not being overwhelmed with telepathic power.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Tries to forward her scans to the science console on the bridge...

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::speaks quietly to Quon:: CIV:  She is telepathic but is not directing at us.  Just like when you are talking to one person, another may not hear nearby.

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO: Yes Ma’am. But I must remind you that she is trapped here. Convincing her to leave us is very good idea, but she will need us anyway to get her back safe home.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV:  Some telepathic species are difficult to be around but most only project in a certain direction.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::listens intently to whatever Mytana has to say::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
::keeps his quiet tone:: XO: Good, then she is not as omnipresent as I feared. That may be our only advantage should something go wrong here.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::The screen shows word 'complete', as she sends it to the science console.::

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
XO/CIV: Unfortunately, we don't have the crystals with us.

Host Mytana says:
Kell: You wanted to show me something up here dear?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: wonders if she should find out what is happening in the ready room ::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CSO: I see. I should pay more attention to engineering logistics in the future. ::begins to ponder alternatives::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel_ says:
CSO: That is a big problem then.

Host Mytana says:
CO: I was watching with the others as your vessels attacked the Nacandarians and then you opened a hole in our space.  I drifted too close and was drawn in to your ship.

CSO_Ens_Derick_Wildstar says:
CIV: Well, if we have free navigation, we can pick up some at UP.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
Mytana: I must say I wanted to show the captain how ravishing you are.  And thought perhaps he would have an idea of how to get you back to your home

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "Oh for the love of...he's laying it on thick..."::

CIV_LtJG_So`Quon says:
CSO: That is a one way to do it, provided our guest is patient enough to wait that long.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: stands after calling Cali to the bridge to cover for her and heads toward the ready room ::

Host Mytana says:
Kell: ::giggles:: You are being silly. ::smiles brightly at Kell::

Host Mytana says:
CO: I was "hiding" inside those crystals until Pirak removed them... then I had to find some other place to go; I chose your "core".

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Mytana:  I see.  Don't worry, we'll take you back to your home in safety.  The most information you can share with us, the better and faster we can return you to yours.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel_ says:
CSO/SO:  You might want to figure out if there is a way to confine her...as much as I am opposed to asking that.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
