Host CO_Torbin says:
::Sitting in "The Chair"::  FCO: ETA to Lithos colony?

CTO_Valar says:
::On the Bridge at the Tactical Station keeping a close eye on the long-range sensors::

TO_Timrok says:
::Guarding the entrance to the Bridge::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: ETA in five minutes, Sir.

OPS_Fey says:
::On the Bridge at Operations accessing the LCARS.::

CSO_Hall says:
::Sitting at the Science Station doing normal duties and preparing sensors for immediate scan::

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Yellow alert if you please, Commander.  No telling what we may find.

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Brings ship to Yellow Alert status::

XO_David says:
::leaning over the CSO at the sicence station, looking at sensor readings::

CSO_Hall says:
XO:  The closer we get the the colony, the .009 frequency becomes more frequent.  ::look at XO::

Host CO_Torbin says:
CSO: Can you pinpoint the location?  and cause?

XO_David says:
::frowns:: CSO: Do we still have the entity on board?

TO_Timrok says:
::watches the goings on ion the Bridge:: cough!

CSO_Hall says:
CO:  I am beginning an attempt now Sir.  ::moves figures over contols::  XO:  Yes Sir.  It is in my lab under lockdown.

OPS_Fey says:
All: I have found a reference that indicates that the Lithos Colony is simply a monitoring station for the Arkonn situation.

XO_David says:
CSO: We may need it.

CSO_Hall says:
XO:  It is ready for use Sir.

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: It has been my experience that a monitoring station is seldom a simple facility...

CSO_Hall says:
::continues to try and pinpoint the location and cause of the frequency::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: We're approaching the colony now.  Standard orbit, Sir?

XO_David says:
CO: Sir, if it is the aliens we encountered before we may need heightened security.

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Affirmative

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Elara comes into the Lithos system, and the colony planet looms before them...

FCO_VanSickle says:
::takes ship into a standard orbit::

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Increase the internal security alert in case we have another encounter of the "shifty" kind..  cover all essential areas

CSO_Hall says:
::intiate full sensors of the colony and surrounding area::  CO:  Ihave initiated full sensors of the colony and suronding area.

Host CO_Torbin says:
CSO: Let me know what you find Mr. Hall

CTO_Valar says:
::Opens a com to Security:: Lewis: I want teams stationed in all sensitive areas of the ship ON THE DOUBLE!

XO_David says:
::arms himself with a phaser just incase::

CTO_Valar says:
<Lewis> CTO: Right away, Sir

OPS_Fey says:
:: Reminds herself to remember the CO's advise and switches off the LCARS.::

CSO_Hall says:
CO:  I am  detcting no life signs from the colony.  There also appears to be no sign of damage.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::gets a phaser out of his "glove box"::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::no sign of damage, yet no life signs..  that's not good::

CTO_Valar says:
Timrok: Get another team to the Bridge, just in case.

CSO_Hall says:
CO:  About the .009 frequency Sir.  It lead to this planet and now that we are here it has disappeared.

TO_Timrok says:
CTO: Right away, Sir.

Host CO_Torbin says:
XO: I think it's time to get a closer look at things, don't you Number 1?

XO_David says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  TO/CSO/OPS: You three with me.  CTO: Have a tactical and medical team meet us in Transporter Room 1.

Host CO_Torbin says:
XO: Good hunting Number 1.  Report back as soon as you find something.

XO_David says:
CO: Will do, Sir.

TO_Timrok says:
::Opens com to security:: Security, bring a small team to the Bridge at once.

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Aye. ::Opens com to security:: Lewis: I want a med team and security team in Transporter Room 1, prepared to beam down to the surface.

CSO_Hall says:
XO:  Aye, Sir. ::Heads to Transporter Room 1::

XO_David says:
::Enters the turbolift:: Transporter Room 1.

CTO_Valar says:
<Lewis> CTO: Aye, Sir. On their way now.

OPS_Fey says:
::Gets up and follows the XO to the turbolift::

TO_Timrok says:
::Leaves the Bridge and goes to the transporter room::

XO_David says:
::Enters the transporter room:: Away Team: Phaser rifles, tricorders and hand phasers.  Set phasers to full stun.

CTO_Valar says:
*Timrok* Take charge of the security team on the surface.  Good luck.

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: I know I don't have to say this, but maintain a lock on the Away Team and have another team on stand-by in case we have to go and get them out the hard way.

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Transfers Operations to his console::

TO_Timrok says:
*Valar* Will do.  Luck, Sir?

CTO_Valar says:
*Timrok* A little luck never hurts.

TO_Timrok says:
::Raises eyebrow::

XO_David says:
::Pulls a phaser rifle and tricorder out of the storage locker::  All: When you’re ready.

OPS_Fey says:
::Clips on her equipment and sets her phaser::

TO_Timrok says:
*Valar* In my experience, luck is merely a set of circumstances without our comprehension.

CSO_Hall says:
::Enters Transporter Room 1 and walks over to the storage locker and pull out an Away Team Science Kit and a phaser.   Then steps up onto the transport pad::  XO:  Ready, Sir.

XO_David says:
::Notes everyone is present:: Transporter Chief: Energize.

CTO_Valar says:
*Timrok* Okay, have it your way then.  Break a leg!

TO_Timrok says:
*Valar* I prefer not to, Sir.

CTO_Valar says:
::Rolls eyes::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Away Team is beamed down to the surface and greeted by the near pitch-black darkness of night. They are in the middle of the colony with only the moon and some eerie lights to shine the way.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is the sound of animals and insects in the distant woods around but no apparent presence of any other sentient life.

CSO_Hall says:
@::Pulls tricorder from holster and begins scanning::

XO_David says:
@::Holds phaser up and turns on his wrist light::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Notices Valar rolling her eyes::  CTO: Problem?

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Giggles to himself::

TO_Timrok says:
@Security: Secure our perimeter.

CTO_Valar says:
::Maintains transporter lock on the Away Team::  CO: None, Sir.

OPS_Fey says:
@::Stands steady as she unclips her tricorder and awaits orders::

TO_Timrok says:
@::Squints into the darkness, phaser ready::

XO_David says:
@CSO: Anything?

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Stands up::  FCO: You have the Bridge, Mr. VanSickle.  I'll be in my Ready Room.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Away Team listens and suddenly a female security officer trips over something and starts screaming.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Waits for Ramirez to take the helm::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Walks over and enters his Ready Room sitting down behind his desk and logging on to the terminal::

CTO_Valar says:
::Adjusts variance in the transporter signal::

XO_David says:
@::Hears the scream:: ALL: Hurry!  ::Runs towards the screaming security officer::

CSO_Hall says:
@XO:  Not as of yet, Sir.  ::Then begins to run towards the screaming::

OPS_Fey says:
@::Flips on her wrist lamp and runs after the others.::

CTO_Valar says:
::Widens the confinement beam::

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Moves to the Captain’s chair as Ramirez takes over the helm::

TO_Timrok says:
@::Carefully heads toward the screaming::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: They find the female security officer who is backing up from a horrifying site; a dead man lying on the ground.  His skin pale and gray, his eyes wide open in horror, looking drained.

XO_David says:
@::Readies his phaser and runs as fast as he can::  Security Officer: Are you all right?

TO_Timrok says:
@::Arrives and looks at body:: ALL: The answer to this may be obvious but is he alive?

OPS_Fey says:
::Turns and SCREAMS!:: XO: Look there are dozens of them like that!

CSO_Hall says:
@TO: No, he is dead, Ensign.

XO_David says:
@::Turns and looks:: Self: Man, what could have done this?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Over a hundred similarly drained bodies greet the Away Team.  All stacked neatly in little piles, all graywith horrifying expressions on their faces.

TO_Timrok says:
@ALL: Hey let’s not tell the planet we are here!

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: Look, Sir, all of the bodies.

TO_Timrok says:
@CSO: What happened to these people?

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Harison to Elara.

TO_Timrok says:
@::Crouches down for a closer look::

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM XO: Elara, here.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Plowing through reports like nobody's business::

CTO_Valar says:
::Picks up the dead bodies on the sensors:: FCO: There appears to be several corpses in the vicinity of the Away Team.

CSO_Hall says:
@TO: I am going to look into that right now.  XO: Sir, may I begin with scanning the bodies?

XO_David says:
@COM FCO: We have quite a few bodies here.  All stacked up in neat piles.

XO_David says:
@CSO: Proceed with extreme caution.

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM XO: Any idea what may have happened to them?

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: I am detecting the same .009 frequency as before.  It is highly concentrated around the bodies.

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Not as yet, but keep a transporter lock.  Inform me if you start to loose the lock.

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM XO: Understood.

XO_David says:
@CSO: Is there any oil residue?

FCO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Status of the transporter lock?

TO_Timrok says:
@::Decides not to touch the body:: Hey people, what’s this?  ::Picks up a staff and some kind of mask::

CTO_Valar says:
FCO: Holding steady, Sir.

FCO_VanSickle says:
*CO* Captain, could you come to the Bridge?

OPS_Fey says:
@Swallows hard to control herself and looks around to see if any other evidence is lying around:: XO: Sir, I am detecting a life form about 50 meters away.

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: I am checking the bodies now.  ::Scans::  XO: None, Sir.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*FCO* Be right there.  ::Logs off his terminal and stands, stretching::

XO_David says:
@OPS: What kind?  ::Moves over::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Walks back out onto his Bridge::  FCO: Report.

Little_Kris says:
@::Clutches a broken shard of a door assembly with a sharp, pointed edge.  Her clothes torn and dirty, hair cut short and uneven by a dull knife blade.  Panting and running with tears flowing down her cheeks, screaming::  ALL: NO! Get away!  Leave me ALONE!

XO_David says:
@CSO: All right.  Any sign of vaporization or weapons burns?

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Sir, Cmdr. Harison reports several bodies are on the surface of the planet.

TO_Timrok says:
@::Brings the objects to the XO::

TO_Timrok says:
@XO: What do you make of these? ::Hands XO the staff and mask::

OPS_Fey says:
@XO: It is moving and... ::Looks.::

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Well, that would certainly explain the lack of life signs.  Cause of death?

TO_Timrok says:
@::Wipes his hands::

Little_Kris says:
@::Runs to the TO really hard and falls backwards::

XO_David says:
@::Takes the staff and mask:: TO: Where did you find them?

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Unknown as of yet.

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: I trust Commander Harison is investigating further then?

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Yes, he is.

XO_David says:
@::Turns to see someone fall:: ALL: Who's there?

TO_Timrok says:
@ XO: Next to one of the bodies.  ::Points::

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Sensors picking up one unknown life form in the vicinity of the Away Team.

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: No, Sir.  They were drained of their synaptic energy.

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Unknown?

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Trying to identify now, Sir.

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: This is what killed them.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%::Hails the Elara:: COM Elara: Elara, this is Starbase 595, please come in.

TO_Timrok says:
@Securty: Stop staring at the bodies!  We have a job to do!

CTO_Valar says:
CO: The life form appears to be a small humanoid child, female.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Hears the hail::

Little_Kris says:
@::looks up and screams at the unfamiliar voices and runs away to hide::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Admiral Poli is hailing us.

XO_David says:
@CSO: Get to work analyzing these.  ::Hands the CSO the mask and staff::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Turns to face the view screen and motions for the FCO to put it onscreen::

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Activates the view screen::

XO_David says:
@OPS: Was that our life form?

Little_Kris says:
@ALL: Go away! LEAEVE me alone!!

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%::Sighs, sitting behind his desk waiting for the Elara to come on screen::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: Greetings Admiral Poli.  What can we do for you, Sir?

XO_David says:
@::Sees the girl’s legs scurrying away and runs after her::  OPS: Follow me!

OPS_Fey says:
@XO: Yes, Sir. That was it...umm her.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%COM Elara: What is the status of Lithos colony?

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Scans the mask and staff::  XO: Sir, the .009 energy frequency is emanating from this staff.

CTO_Valar says:
::Adjusts the variance in the confinement beam::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM: SB595: Preliminary reports from my Away Team on the planet indicate that it isn't good, Sir.  They report piles of dead bodies and so far we have only been able to detect 1 life sign.

TO_Timrok says:
@Security Team: Let’s make sure this place is secure, damn it!

Little_Kris says:
@::Hides under a pill of rubble and cries, clutching a knife::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%::Closes his eyes for a moment:: COM Elara: Was it an Imperial Navy attack?

XO_David says:
@::Looks for the girl:: GIRL: Hello?

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: Too early to tell, Sir.  We have only been in orbit roughly 20 minutes to this point.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%COM Elara: I see.  How did they die?

Little_Kris says:
@::Pokes head out at the sound of a new voice::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: However, the lack of damage we have been able to find indicates that they aren't responsible.

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Harison to Elara.

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM XO: Elara, here.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Cmdr. Harison on the line.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: Unknown at this time, Sir.  But my XO has just contacted us, so if you will excuse me for a moment I can try to find out.

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: We have found some sort of staff.  It is generating a .009 phase variance.  And there is a survivor, a small girl.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%::Nods:: COM Elara: Please do, Captain.  I will wait.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: Aye, Sir.  ::Nods to the Admiral and motions for Mr. VanSickle to mute the channel::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%::An aide comes into the room, he talks to her, tells her to wait there for a moment so he can get the information::

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Mutes Admiral Poli's channel::

XO_David says:
@*TO* Mr. Timrok, secure this area and have security teams double up.

Little_Kris says:
@::Slowly crawls out and peeks around the corner at the XO::

TO_Timrok says:
@ XO: Yes, Sir.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM XO: Acknowledged Number 1.  Try to question the survivor.  Bring her back to the ship if necessary.

XO_David says:
@::Sees the girl and crouches down:: GIRL: Hello, there.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM XO: Have you been able to determine the cause of death yet?

XO_David says:
@::Whispers::  OPS: Scan her.

CSO_Hall says:
@COM Elara: Hall to Elara.

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM CSO: Elara, here.

Little_Kris says:
@::Threatens him with the blade and shivers.  Steps back a little:: XO: Who are you?

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Yes, Sir.  They were drained of their synaptic energy.

TO_Timrok says:
@Security team: Okay, you heard the man!  Everybody pair up, nobody on there own!  Don’t let your partner out of your sight!

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM XO: Have you been able to form an opinion on who is behind this?  I have Admiral Poli on hold at the moment and he would like answers.

XO_David says:
@GIRL: Whoa, there.  I'm David Harison, from the Starship Elara.  Who are you?

CSO_Hall says:
@COM FCO: I found out what killed the people.  Their bodies were drained of their synaptic energy.  Please get that information to the CO.

OPS_Fey says:
::Continues to check for additional information as she watches the XO and the little girl::   XO: Sir, she appears to be perfectly normal, maybe a little undernourished with minor injuries.

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: No, Sir.  We are still investigating.

TO_Timrok says:
@::Frowns as he realizes there is an odd number of security personnel so he has no one to pair up with::

Little_Kris says:
@XO: I'm Kris.  You with them?

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM CSO: Cmdr. Harison has already reported that to the Captain.

XO_David says:
@KRIS: Who?

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM XO: Understood.  I think I will be able to satisfy him with what you have found so far.  Anything else to report?  And have Mr. Hall go over that staff with a fine-toothed comb.

Little_Kris says:
@XO: The bad things.  ::Steps back again::

CSO_Hall says:
@COM FCO: Understood.  I was not aware.  Hall, out.

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Aye, Sir.  We'll need equipment down here to analyze it.  No sense in risking the ship.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%::Taps his desk impatiently awaiting a report::

XO_David says:
@KRIS: No. ::Smiles:: I'm not.  Why don't you come out?  I wont hurt you.

TO_Timrok says:
@::Heads over to the XO's position, stumbling over everything on the way::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Sir, Admiral Poli's patiently waiting.

CSO_Hall says:
::Continues to scan the staff::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM XO: Understood.  I'll have Mr. VanSickle beam down whatever you need so unless you have something else for me, I have an Admiral to appease.

Little_Kris says:
@XO: That's.. ::Starts to cry and moves all the way back to the corner::  Mommy!!

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Motions for Mr. VanSickle to take over the XO's com::

XO_David says:
@::Turns:: Kris: What?  No please don’t cry.  Come here.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%::Nods to the female aide to wait there for a moment::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Reaches down and slaps the button to activate the Admiral's com::

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Takes over com with the XO::

Little_Kris says:
@::Curls up in a ball on the ground as tight as possible to keep him away::

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Not yet, Sir.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%COM Elara: Well, Captain?

Host CO_Torbin says:
COMM SB595: I apologize for the delay, Sir,  but I do have some more answers for you.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%COM Elara: Good.

XO_David says:
@Kris: It's all right.  I won't hurt you.  ::Reaches out to her::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: It seems that the cause of death was a draining of all synaptic energy.

XO_David says:
@OPS: Let’s see if we can get her back to the ship.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: The away team has also discovered a staff, which seems to be the cause of the .009 phase variance but they have not been able to study it in detail as of yet.  I have my CSO working on it as we speak.

Little_Kris says:
@::Looks up at David with glass eyes thinking she's about to die.  ::Whispers:: No, mommy, mommeee…….

XO_David says:
@CSO Will, do everything you can with that staff.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%::Doesn't flinch, doesn't say anything:: COM Elara: Understood. ::Nods to the Aide to leave now and she does:: Your orders are as follows, Captain, beam up your Away Team immediately along with some of the bodies and whatever you found down there.  Bring that staff too.  Report immediately back to Starbase 595 for study. The colony will be taken care of.

XO_David says:
@::Picks up Kris::  KRIS: It's all right.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Thinks: Taken care of?::  COM SB595: You don't want us to complete the investigation, Sir?  And if you don't mind me asking Admiral, what did you mean by taken care of?

OPS_Fey says:
@::Intently watches the scene with the child.::

Host Admiral_Poli says:
%COM Elara: Report immediately back with at least 5 bodies and the staff.  Poli, out! ::Cuts transmission::

Little_Kris says:
@::Goes limp from fear and stays silent, grabbing at the XO's uniform::

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: No, Sir.  I have an idea.  I will need to search the LCARS database on the Elara, however.

XO_David says:
@::Holds Kris:: OPS: Let’s get her back to the ship.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: I guess they want us out of there.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Thinks: Very informative::  COM XO: Report back to the ship immediately Number 1.  Bring at least five bodies and the staff.  We have new orders.

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Sir?

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Long-ranges sensors are picking up 5 Federation vessels en route to our position.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
ACTION: Suddenly, 5 Starfleet vessels warp into the system.  The Galaxy Class Adidas, the New Orleans Fithos, one of the Defiant Class ships, and two Akira class ships.

XO_David says:
@CSO: Prepare to beam back to the ship.  Take the staff but keep it quarantined.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM XO: You heard me Number 1.  Admiral Poli has seen fit to have us report to SB595 immediately.  With at least 5 of the dead bodies and the staff.

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Sir, it's the Adidas, the Fithos, one of the Defiants and two Akira class.

Little_Kris says:
@::Watches over his shoulder at the people dead everywhere and spots someone. ::XO: mommy!! Mommy!  ::Spots her mother among the dead::

XO_David says:
@TO: Gather five bodies and return to the ship.

Host Admiral_Poli says:
ACTION: The 5 vessels move past the Elara and take defensive orbits around the planet.

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Timrok says:
@XO: Sir?

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Interesting.  Five vessels.  But if they are here, who is guarding the Outpost I wonder?

XO_David says:
@TO: Just do it.  OPS: Let’s go.

OPS_Fey says:
@::Stands ready to accompany the others.::

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Elara stand by to transport.

CTO_Valar says:
CO: I suggest we erect a bio containment field around the bodies, where ever you want them transported to.

XO_David says:
@::Holds on to Kris:: *Away Team* All away team members, prepare to return to the ship.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM XO: Oh, and Number 1, the Admiral didn't say anything about the survivor, so if you can get him to come, find out everything you can from him.

CSO_Hall says:
@::Secures his tricorder in his holster, picks up the staff and readies it and himself for transport::

CTO_Valar says:
CO: I am questioning this fact myself, Sir.

TO_Timrok says:
@::Heads over to the bodies.  Marks four + the girl’s mother for transport::

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Pick a good location and make it happen.  ::grins::

Host Captain_Vdek says:
%::Captain of the Adidas, hails the Elara:: COM Elara: Elara, this is Captain Vdek of the U.S.S. Adidas.

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Yes, Sir.  I'll bring her to the ship.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: We're being hailed.

TO_Timrok says:
@::Severe shiver down the his spine:: Ewwwww…

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Opens channel::

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Erects bio containment field in Cargo Bay 3::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM Adidas: This is Captain Torbin of the USS Elara.  Go ahead Captain Vdek.

Host Captain_Vdek says:
%COM Elara: The two Defiant Class vessels with us will be escorting you back to Starbase 595.

XO_David says:
@TO/CSO/OPS: Ready?

CTO_Valar says:
COM Timrok: Timrok, prepare the bodies to be transported to Cargo Bay 3.  Signal when ready.

Little_Kris says:
@::Lays limply on the XO's shoulder as if she suddenly died::

CSO_Hall says:
@XO: Yes, Sir.

TO_Timrok says:
@XO: Yes, Sir.

OPS_Fey says:
@XO: I'm ready, Sir.

TO_Timrok says:
@::Looks revolted::

XO_David says:
@COM Elara: Away Team plus one girl, five bodies and one object to beam up.

CTO_Valar says:
COM Timrok: Ensign, do you copy?

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM Adidas: Captain, the Elara is perfectly capable of handling ourselves.  Is an escort really necessary?

TO_Timrok says:
@COM Valar: Yes, Sir.  The bodies are marked and ready.

CTO_Valar says:
COM XO: Transporting the bodies to Cargo Bay 3.  Prepare to beam up.

Host Captain_Vdek says:
%::Sighs:: COM Elara: In this case, yes it is, Captain.  Admiral Poli's orders.

CTO_Valar says:
::Transports the 5 bodies to Cargo Bay 3 then transports the Away Team to Transporter Room 1::

TO_Timrok says:
@::Hopes there isn’t a transport mix-up and he ends up in the cargo bay with the bodies::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM Adidas: Understood, Captain.  I'll have my FCO coordinate with them.  Anything else?

Host Captain_Vdek says:
ACTION: The Away Team returns to the Elara with 5 dead bodies, the little girl, the staff and the peculiar mask.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Ready to receive course::

TO_Timrok says:
::Quickly leaves the transporter pad::

Host Captain_Vdek says:
%COM Elara: No, that is all.  Good luck, Captain.

Little_Kris says:
::Watches as the light from the beam encases her and lets out a scream in panic:: The bad monsters! No!  Go away! 

CSO_Hall says:
XO: Permission to proceed to the Science Lab to study this staff and the mask? 

Host Captain_Vdek says:
ACTION: The transmission is ended.  The three remaining ships begin to beam down their own Away Teams to the surface, while the two Defiant Class ships come up on the sides of the Elara.

XO_David says:
*CO* Sir, I am taking the girl to Sickbay.  ::Carries Kris out of the transporter room and heads for Sickbay::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM Adidas: Same to you, Captain.  Elara, out.  ::Motions for Eric to cut the channel::

CTO_Valar says:
CO: All Away Team personnel have been transported back to the ship.  The bodies are in Cargo Bay 3 under a level-5 bio containment field.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Cuts channel::

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

XO_David says:
CSO: Granted.  Be careful.

OPS_Fey says:
::Steps off the transporter pad and begins stowing her gear.::

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Set course for SB595, warp 7 and coordinate with the Defiant vessels.  Don't engage yet however.

CTO_Valar says:
::Lowers the temperature in Cargo Bay 3 for preservation of the corpses::

Little_Kris says:
::Tries to get away from the XO:: XO: No! You’re one of them!! Noooo! ::Screams::

CSO_Hall says:
XO: I will, Sir.  ::Grins, turns and heads out of the transporter room and down to the science lab::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Course laid in and awaiting order to engage.

XO_David says:
::Holds on to her:: Kris: Its all right.  We aren't going to hurt you.

TO_Timrok says:
::Notices the struggle:: XO: I could stun her if you like.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*CSO* Mr. Hall, when you study that staff and mask make backups of everything and keep them secured on PADDs in your quarters.

XO_David says:
::Looks at Timrok with a look that says "Are you crazy?"::

TO_Timrok says:
::Raises eyebrow::

Little_Kris says:
::Panics and pushes at him:: No, No, NO!! I saw it!  You’re taking me to them!  Let me go!!

CSO_Hall says:
Computer: Search the LCARS and match anything to these clues.  ::Inputs clues into the computer and a PADD:: *CO* Aye, Sir.

OPS_Fey says:
XO: May I recommend a mild tranquilizer for the child?

Host Computer says:
CSO: Processing...

XO_David says:
OPS: No. No drugs.

XO_David says:
::Heads for Sickbay::

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: ETA to SB595 at warp 7, Commander?

TO_Timrok says:
XO: Or a neck pinch?

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: ETA about one week.

XO_David says:
KRIS: It's all right.  I'm just taking you to get checked.  We want to make sure you are healthy.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Nods:: *XO* Number 1, you have one week until we get to Starbase595.  Get as much information as possible from the survivor.

Little_Kris says:
::Takes her shoe off and throws it at the TO:: No! You monster! Go away!

Host Computer says:
CSO: Data found in several files: Files designated: U.S.S. Seleya, U.S.S. Orion, U.S.S. Artemis, Evermor colony, Captain Kitana Brinn, Captain Gene Heinlein, Captain Tealk Amendoira.

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: All right.  Engage when ready.

TO_Timrok says:
::Heads back to the Bridge and gets hit on the back of the head with a shoe:: Curious…

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, Sir. Engaging warp engines.

Host Computer says:
CSO:  Outpost 399, D'vor...

Host Computer says:
CSO: Please specify file to view.

XO_David says:
*CO* That may be difficult.  I recommend a session with the CMO.

TO_Timrok says:
::Arrives back on the Bridge rubbing head::

CSO_Hall says:
Computer: Open the USS Seleya file please.

XO_David says:
::Enters Sickbay:: Med Staff: I need a full scan run on her.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

Host Computer says:
CSO: U.S.S. Seleya, Galaxy Class Vessel under command of Captain...

CTO_Valar says:
::Monitors long-range sensors::

OPS_Fey says:
::Steps onto the turbolift as she intones:: Bridge.

Little_Kris says:
::Feels better that she drove off one of the bad monsters and turns her attention to the medical staff::

XO_David says:
*CO* Sir, I'd like to request that I stay with our survivor until she is settled.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*XO* Difficult or not, do whatever you deem necessary to make it happen.

Little_Kris says:
::Hears the CO's voice:: CO: Where my Daddy?!!!

CSO_Hall says:
COMPUTER: Please open the files pertaining to the USS Seleya and the .009 energy signature.

XO_David says:
*CO* As you can hear she's not exactly question worthy.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Acknowledged. Processing...

Little_Kris says:
::Looks at the ceiling:: CO: You bad monster! I want my daddy back!!

Host Computer says:
CSO: Processing complete.  One file pertaining to U.S.S. Seleya and .009 energy signature, identified file: D'vor.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Do you wish to open the file?

CSO_Hall says:
COMPUTER: Yes, please.

OPS_Fey says:
::Steps off the turbolift onto the Bridge and resumes her duties at operations.::

XO_David says:
KRIS: Calm down.  It's all right.  Med Staff: Full Scan.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*XO* So I hear, but I would like to know as much as possible before I meet with Admiral Poli so do whatever you deem necessary.

Host Computer says:
::Images appear to the CSO from colonies and outposts from years ago.  The same images as he just saw of hundreds of bodies drained and stacked::  The D'vor unknown alien race responsible for the decimation of 4 Federation outposts, 1 Maquis colony, etc.

XO_David says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.  May I ask why we were called back?

Host Computer says:
First encountered by U.S.S. Seleya in year 2373 (3 years ago).  Last encounter was between U.S.S. Artemis and the race.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*XO* Because the good Admiral said so, Number 1.  ::Grumbles under his breath::

Little_Kris says:
::Pushes hard on the XO while he isn't looking an breaks his grip, falling to the floor::

Host Computer says:
Starfleet Order 666: "At first encounter with a D'vor vessel: Any and all Starfleet personnel are to evacuate the area immediately.  D'vor do not respond to hails and will attack upon encounter."

XO_David says:
*CO* Seems that we have a surplus of good admirals.

CSO_Hall says:
::Heart pounds in his chest:: *CO* Hall to Captain Torbin.  I have found out who killed all of the people on the planet.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*XO* So it seems.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*CSO* Go ahead, Mr. Hall.  I'm waiting.

XO_David says:
::Notices Kris fall and scoops her back up and holds her tight::  Kris: We aren't going to hurt you.

Host Computer says:
ACTION: The file ends but more pictures show up of horrifying images of hundreds of massacred Maquis found on the planet Evermor.

CSO_Hall says:
*CO* Could you please come to the Science Lab.  I will explain to you while you are en route.  They are known as the D'vor.

OPS_Fey says:
::Transfers operations controls back from the FCO ::

Little_Kris says:
XO: Please put me down. I gotta go pee pee.

FCO_VanSickle says:
OPS: I hear you guys had a little excitement down there.

Host Computer says:
ACTION: Then images show of the damage done to the U.S.S. Seleya, and U.S.S. Orion.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Stands and begins walking to the Science Lab::  *CSO*  Did you say the D'Vor Mr. Hall?  ::Frowns deeply::

XO_David says:
Kris: Uh huh.

XO_David says:
<Med Staff> XO: Scan results almost done.

CSO_Hall says:
*CO* Yes, Sir.  There is a large amount of information on the D’Vor in the LCARS.

Host Computer says:
ACTION: The last images are those of colonists found on another colony, all dead as well.  The image viewer zooms in on a dead woman's face and the last thing that is seen is her eyes wide open in a horrible silence that speaks volumes.

OPS_Fey says:
::Obviously still a little shaken, she nods an affirmative to the FCO’s question::
