Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: We pick up where we left off, with the Aegis vessel hovering before the dormant U.S.S. Montgomery. Moving to the vessel's command center, we see Aran sitting in the "command chair," pondering the mystery before them. Ensign Leia Raythan stands by his side.

Host FM_Selan says:
LEIA'S NARRATIVE: I wish Mathar was here, he'd know what to do. But right now, I'm clueless. Only hours ago I wake up to find out I've been in a near coma-like state for three months, that Starfleet managed to stop the Bellicose but have been in disrepair ever since, and now that the baby who I saved from the Elara's destruction is five years old!

Host FM_Selan says:
LEIA'S NARRATIVE: This is just so much for me to handle all at once ... now we're in the "depths" of a subspace wasteland, investigating two dormant vessels ... a Defiant Class Starship and a "nearby" Klingon cruiser. I think Aran knows what's going on, but he's not letting on.

Host FM_Selan says:
LEIA'S NARRATIVE: Aran is the strangest of them all, I mean, his body has the shape of a human unlike the others ... but, well, the entire transparent thing is frightening to say the least. And he still hasn't explained why these Aegis are all out here in the first place. Or what they have to do with Shane, Ms. Zaris' child ...

Host FM_Selan says:
LEIA'S NARRATIVE: ... I really wish Mathar was here.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Flash to the Aqua Alien "cave."

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::still standing back from the group of most of the crew, watching, with a confused look on his face::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::watches his crew out of the corner of his eyes::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks at the aliens .. thinking::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::standing.. leaning on the glowing wall.. sniffs at the cold stale air and watches the proceedings::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Standing beside the CSO, watching the Klingons::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Barks orders in Klingon to his subordinates, who back off::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::gets up from his position amidst the crew and allows himself a little stretch, he purrs quietly to himself and moves forward to find some other officers::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> Federation Crew & T'yarn: If you'll follow us. ::The Leader and his group turn around, and the rock behind them folds away to reveal a corridor::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::stands up straight and blinks:: self: oh great.. now we have melting rocks...

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: The Klingons get defensive at the sight of a newly appearing corridor.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::watches the alien do...something to the wall:: Self: Hmm.. fancy. ::follows the group, still at the back::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::looks to his crew and begins following the aliens::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::In Klingon to his subordinates:: Klingon Crew: Remain here, I shall get to the bottom of this.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances away from the Klingons, he watches the corridor with interest:: CSO: Fascinating

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::observes the alien visitors and makes his way to the rest of the crew::  Self: What is going to happen now ?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks at the rock:: CIV: There was no evidence that that door was there ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::looks at the klingon CO and grumbles.. but follows behind him and the others::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::follows after the captain::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: The alien corridor is not unlike many other new vessels the Starfleet crew have encountered in the past. Glowing orbs light the corridor as the lithe aliens guide them.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots up behind the CMO and follows::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Keeps up with the CO, as he is a leader as well. His Dk’Tang remains sheathed ... but ready to be drawn at any moment::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Begins walking as well:: CSO: Must be some sort of a cloaking device.. An advance cloaking device..

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Gesturing to an open doorway:: This is where your injured crewmen were taken, and are being treated.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks around as he follows the group, sticking to the dead center of the corridor, not wanting to get too close to the walls::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::looks at the glowing orbs.. they just seem to be hanging there.. wonders if they double as weapons for defense::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Or maybe this corridor wasn't here until a few seconds ago

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::motions for the CMO and CTO to take a look::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: Within the noted room, the aforementioned injured crewmen are floating above tables without any support. A few Aqua Alien doctors are in the room, making minor checks.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::walks straight to the door indicated and looks in.. grumbles::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: That seems illogical, ::Glances up at the open room:: at least the injured are being take cared off..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks at the injured::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Aqua Alien Leader: Are they alright?

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::follows right behind OPS::  OPS: This "adventure" is getting weirder with the second..  ::looks at the orbs lighting the corridor::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: The logic of these beings seams to elude us ...

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: I believe so. They should be able to move on their own soon ... if you will follow us. ::Continues on::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Steps in front of the CO, and follows the Aliens, showing no interest in the injured crew::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances at the CMO, he raises an eyebrow and looks away:: CMO: What do you think?

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::pokes his head into the open doorway:: Self...

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks back at Donaway:: CEO: No kidding...this is why we joined Starfleet though... ::can tell from his voice he's pretty scared for himself::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::follows, motioning for the rest of the crew to do the same::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
A Aliens: I'm not happy with this.. how do i know that thing the other say swallowed our ship wasn't sent to collect us for food.. or some other harvesting procedures..?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: This journey is getting to be quite interesting

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::continues on with the group, still in the middle of the corridor::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots off after the rest of the crew::

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::glances at OPS with a slightly surprised look::  OPS: Maybe, but it certainly isn’t what they prepare you for at the academy.. ::moves along with the rest of the crew::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances at the CSO as he continues to walk:: CSO: Indeed.

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Two> ::Stops:: CMO: We assure you that we have no intentions of ... harvesting your crew.

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Snickers at the CMO's comment and continues on::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CMO: The information they have given me makes indicates their intentions are far from hostile

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::feels unsatisfied and narrow eyes .. not very happy about everything thus far::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Leads them into a chamber which is most likely some sort of library::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: I'm willing to bet that there is a lot more stuff the Academy doesn't prepare you for than they actually do.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Most interesting ::looks around at the "library"::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
CSO: I still don't trust them.. and I don't trust the lump heads we are stuck with either.. just a few months back they were trying to kill us or some stupid prophecy.. what’s to stop them from trying again?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: The "Library" is a large, and well lit, chamber with various orbs floating here and there. There are dozens of seemingly endless rows of large, orange orbs.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Nods and glances around, watching the decorations::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::arrives next to the CMO:: CMO: Nothing at all ::looks around the room::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Aqua Alien: Where are we?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CMO: If they wanted to do us any harm they would have done so by now

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks down one of the rows, and gets almost a dizzy feeling::

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::grins softly::  OPS: As it appears...  ::with amazement looks at all the orbs floating around::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Comes forward, and presses a button on a now apparent wrist remote he wears. One of the large orange orbs floats over toward them:: CO: In our Chamber of Data Collection.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
CSO: maybe..

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: your no help kitty boy..

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> ALL: It is here that we document our experimentation with "realm traveling."

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::looks over to OPS::  OPS: Do you have a tricorder?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Two> ::Somewhat solemnly:: ALL: It is also here we documented the death of our own home ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien: I am certain this would be quite an asset to our own data collections .. perhaps you would like an exchange of information

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::walks over to one of the floating orbs and taps it with her finger::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: The orb does nothing upon the CMO's touch.

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CSO: Perhaps at a later date.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::checks for the first time if he still has his equipment:: CO: Umm.. no, looks like they took it away. Sorry sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::nods::

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
Self: Realm travel..? Interesting...

Host CO_Capt_James says:
OPS: Then pay as close attention as possible.  No telling what we could be shown.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
CMO: Me-ow ::smiles:: Self: Its so big...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
OPS: makes it easier to hide their intentions doesn't it.. 

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Aqua Alien: Show me the record.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CO: Will do.

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Two> CMO: Unfortunately, we have chosen to no longer have the orbs set up for data acquirement through mere touch processing ... previously "rough trips" have caused the orbs to shift, and thus data would be pulled up again & again, using up needless computer resources.

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Presses a button::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CMO: I don't know, they don't seem that mean...

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Somewhat pushes the CIV out of the way as he steps up to observe the orb::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks at T’yarn and raises an eyebrow::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Takes one step back, he glances at the Klingon and walks away::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::watches from the other side of most of the crew. This is one of the first things the Captain has really told him to take care of, and he doesn't want to screw it up::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::looks at the alien:: Alien: at least it's not going to blow up or any thing..  ::stiffs and shrugs::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: The Orb suddenly shows the white realm of the Aqua Aliens, in which various of their "Entity" vessels are floating ... these are the same images the CSO viewed earlier in her mind. Suddenly, the realm undulates, red energy crackles and seemingly rips through it ... vessels explode, and then all collapses.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::motions for his crew to step completely back::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: That is part of the information they have given me. What happened there was quite a tragedy

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::jumps back slightly as the peaceful scene suddenly explodes::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::watches the image in front of him, wondering what could cause something like that::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::watches the energy and stares back at the klingon:: T’yarn: look familiar to you?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::takes a step back as the captain requested although she does not quite understand why::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Takes a breath and deactivates the orb, returning it to it's proper alignment:: CO: Our home realm was located in what you refer to as a subspace layer. As you may or may not know, there are "layers of subspace" in which entities and even entire species have been known to exist outside of normal space ...

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
CMO: Not at all.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
Self: Hhhhmmm, amazing...  ::walks further, looking at the orbs::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Stands near the CSO:: CSO: I wonder what caused that.. Even the Borg can't do something like that.. I hope..

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::do they really think we're that stupid? We've known about subspace layers for, well, forever::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: Our species was one such race, until our realm ... our "layer" was destroyed.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: That’s what we are supposed to find out ... but I'm not sure where to begin

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::grabs the TO's flipping tail and pulls.. dragging him back toward her::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Whatever it is, it's far more powerful then we even encountered..

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Aqua Aliens: How did you escape?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
Aqua Alien Leader: Subspace you say ... then it was definitely the Blood of Kahless. The Omega your Federation was so desperate to take for themselves. ::With a sneer::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien: Did you have enemies? Anyone that could have profited from your destruction?

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::hisses:: CMO: Ouch!  What was that for?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::pulls harder:; TO: come here..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Omega?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks over at T’yarn strangely:: Cmdr: Omega?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances at the Klingon:: T’yarn: Omega?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::scowls hearing Omega mentioned:: T'yarn: We'll continue this later.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::frowns::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Aqua Alien: Please send the rest of my crew back to the original cavern.  I believe we have something to discuss.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
Self: Omega, what is that... ::looks at the CO, trying to find a confirmation::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::Klingons aren't very good at hiding their thoughts, and Kyle gets a good headful about what Omega is::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances at the Captain, then back at the CSO:: CSO: I wonder what is.. Omega?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I am curious too ... perhaps it is something we are not meant to know of

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::hisses to himself:: CMO: Okay okay ::moves closer to the CMO:: that really hurts

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Notices a sight behind him, he turns around and notices the CMO:: CMO: Don't you think you should let go of his tail?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::also gets a good headful from the Captain, about how none of them are supposed to know about Omega::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Gives a peculiar look at the Klingon:: CO: If you wish. Aliens Two & Three: Please escort the Starfleet crew back to the cave ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: I expect it does.. what do you know about those 2 science ships since to that destroyed nebula? The were all packed with warp testing units and subspace sensors..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::stares for a moment at the captain and the aliens::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::by the time he's done reading their minds, Kyle has a somewhat clear idea of what Omega is::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Turns around:: CSO: The Captain seemed to know about this 'Omega'

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
CO & Aqua Alien Leader: I however will remain here.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Yes ... ::still looks at the captain for a few more moments::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Aliens Two & Three> Leader: Aye, commandant. ::Turns:: Please accompany us to the Cave. ::They gesture for the crew to follow::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks to the aliens::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: It seams we are wanted elsewhere ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
Alien: how about you take me to my injured crew member instead!

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::rubbing the base of his tail:: CMO: They might well have been...why, what are you getting at?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: nothing kitty boy.. ::lets go of his tail:: 

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::looks at the two other aliens and glances at the CO for a moment before turning slowly::  Self: There is something wrong here, I've never seen the CO hide something this clearly for the crew..

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Two> CMO: One is expected to ask politely, not demand.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Shall we? ::Begins walking::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::slowly moves along with the rest of the crew, making a note to talk with Donaway once they get back to the cave about Omega::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::walks with the CIV, absorbed in her thoughts::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: The crew is guided out of the Chamber of Data Collection by the two Aqua Aliens.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
Alien: that might have been the case until we were forcibly removed from our ship to here.. 

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CMO: Perhaps they didn't know how to ask

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Two> CMO: We are trying to find information. You'll forgive us if we're somewhat distrustful of those in your realm after our entire species was wiped out ...

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
Aqua Alien Two: Then you three are the only ones left?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
Alien: then you’ll understand my distrust of you for pulling the sick and injured right out from under my hands..

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CIV: There are more of us onboard.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::waits for the crew to clear:: T'yarn: I'm aware of your anger, but allowing Omega's name to be mentioned so casually could cause even more problems.  Be careful in your words.

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Two> CMO: Your "sick and injured" have been given much better treatment in our hands than in yours.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien three: How many of your race survived?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
CO: Your Starfleet and your precious secrets. You are truly pitiful ...

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::walks along back to the cave quietly::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::turns a deeper shade of blue .. almost purple as her temper rises and she hisses.. trying not to get to enraged::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CSO: One hundred and five currently reside on this vessel.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
:;arrives back at the cave and heads back to his little corner, deciding it might not be the best idea to talk with Donaway right now::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::keeps close to the CMO:: CMO: It will be okay, try to calm down

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Two> ::Stops in front of the Hospital area:: CMO: You may proceed. Do not interfere in the workings of this bay, however. ::Gestures for the others to continue::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
T'yarn: Omega is more dangerous than you could imagine.  If it fell into the wrong hands it could spell then end of BOTH our empires.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Aqua alien : Perhaps another home can be found for you in our realm ... one hundred and five seams enough to start a population

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::shoots a glare at the Caitian TO and folds her arms with a huff::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
CO: And the Federation considers itself the right hands?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Remains quiet as he follows::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
T'yarn: The Federation knows what’s right for the safety of the galaxy and the people within.

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
AA2: Would it be okay if accompany the CMO?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: Elsewhere, the Aegis remain in "orbit" of the Montgomery and its ruptures. Aran stands by a science console with Ensign Raythan.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::walks in the medical ward and begins checking up on her crew.. making sure all of them are accounted for::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aran> @ Raythan: The ruptures are "holes" in the fabric of space / time ... apparently, something or someone is ducking in and out of the normal skin of space, teetering on the brink of falling into the "abyss of nothingness" that subspace here has become ... and this normal realm.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::sits quietly, thinking over everything he 'heard' from the Captain and the Klingon. He still could listen, but he's decided not to, for now at least::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Ensign Raythan> @ ::Looks at the console as a diagram is made:: Wow. ::Blinks:: So, what do you think happened to the Montgomery crew?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
Alien: Does Realm traveling means time traveling as well?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: The Montgomery crew arrives back at the Cave, where the Aqua Aliens have provided multiple barrels of replicated blood wine & gagh for the somewhat annoyed Klingons who can determine that this replicated stuff is not worth their time.

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
::shrugs and trots after the CMO:: CMO: So is everyone okay?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I do not understand how we are supposed to find what happened here if we do not have access to all the information

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::maybe it isn't really that serious, and the Captain was just caught off guard, and acted like he did because he was a bit angry. Then again, he knows that isn't true...::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: looks like everyone is here.. ::keeps pacing around::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
CO: Ha! You and your holier-than-thou act have nearly gotten the Galaxy wiped out again and again. If not for you, the Borg Collective wouldn't occasionally "stop by" and wreak havoc, now would it?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> T'yarn: That is enough. I have not brought you both here for a mere squabble. We have come for answers. Now ... CO: What is Omega?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
T'yarn: That was not the fault of Starfleet, and you know it.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::walks back into the cave, looking around again, seeing the Klingons still having that "I'm gonna hurt you" look in their eyes as he moves further::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: wish i had a tricorder.. say skunk boy.. do you have one?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Aqu Alien: i cannot give you specifics for reasons of galactic security, however, what I can tell you is that Omega is a highly rare and very unstable particle with such power that it can destroy subspace.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Perhaps we should.. ::Glances back at the sound of shouts, he looks away:: they are being loud.. too loud for my taste

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
::keeps moving with the CMO:: CMO: Skunk boy? ::looks confused:: and no I dont... perhaps someone in here will let you have on of theirs

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Klingons have always been very .. expressive

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CIV: It actually refers to the art of traveling from one reality to another. Subspace is actually a very viable region for traveling from this "universe" to another ... if the proper calculations are made, of course. Alas, we have not mastered the art of time travel ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: if you haven't noticed.. I can't read their data.. it's in those weird orbs..

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Realization appears on his face:: CO: And it is responsible for the destruction of our realm?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien: We have done some experiments with it although we refrain from using it. But perhaps in this case an exception ca be made .. since your realm does not interact with our own under normal circumstances

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
Aqua Alien Three: You mean our counter-parts exists in this realms?

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::looks at OPS::  OPS: Ensign, is something troubling you ?

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
CMO: Oh... ::smiles and looks up at the CMO:: well we could always go and meet up with everyone else then, as we cant really accomplish anything here

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aran> @ ::Contemplating. He stands, and begins to pace:: Raythan: Someone took them ... I suppose it is the same "someone" who took the crew of that Klingon Vessel, and those responsible for traveling within these minute ruptures. The ruptures shouldn't be that hard to track, or replicate though ... the Q'Orphod phase drive operates in a similar fashion.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::lowers his head:: Aqua Alien: Based on what I have seen, I believe so.  Starfleet attempted to contain and safely destroy the particle, however we were unable to reach it before a species known as the Bellicose got to it.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks up:: CEO: Yep, big time. Can't tell you about it though. ::mumbles::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Your idea could very well have a solution

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: fine.. since you got the better eyes you lead.. I'll listen as we go.. you remember the way?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CIV: You speak of alternative timelines. We do not usually pay attention to those ... but yes, they exist.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
Aqua Alien Three: Something like the mirror universe? Is that part of the realms?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Shakes his head:: CO: Are you saying that the Particle Fountain has been lost?

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
CMO: Straight down the corridor I believe ::trots on ahead:: oh and watch the tail please

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::frowns a bit::  OPS: And why is that...?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CIV: The Mirror what?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::looks around the walls as they go.. walks a bit faster than the TO and steps on the end of his tail::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
Aqua Alien Three: Never mind ::Sighs::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ Aran: So ... we can go after them.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: I'm not really sure...it's about the Omega parti...the thing the Klingon commander was talking about. The Captain really really doesn't want us to know for some reason.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien Three: We have knowledge of a Universe parallel to our own but somewhat different. We call it mirror universe

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aran> @ Raythan: I believe so. If not for the benefit of those performing this act, but for the safety of the Starfleet & Klingon crews ... "dancing" between space and nothingness is a dangerous game.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: But I believe it can not help in this case ...

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::frowns even more::  OPS: I was suspecting that he was hiding something when he asked us to return to the cave after the Klingon Commander mentioned "omega"...

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CSO: Technically, it is referred to as an alternate time line. There are multiple variations of your current universe.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: He was... ::struggles not to just outright tell him::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
T'yarn: Yes.  The Bellicose got to it before we could....but

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
::hisses and moves alongside the CMO:: CMO: When we get back on ship we are going to have to teach you to watch where you put your feet ::takes hold of her large hand:: and Im going to need some painkillers ::smiles::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Looks around, while saying silently:: I suppose so.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
Aqua Alien Three: Are they linked by anyway?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::pauses:: T'yarn: Instead of a cascade, the Bellicose simply....vanished.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien three: Yes, most of which we will never make contact with...nor it is desired that we do. Still, the knowledge from these universes could perhaps bring an answer to your problem .... if we found out what had caused it

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CIV: Alternate time lines are forged from single events in any one time line. In one timeline, someone could have done this with a series of results, in another there would be different results. We have spent much time trying to determine why this happens with no luck.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::wonders why the fuzzy TO decided to take her hand.. decides against pulling it away and back handing him.. which was her first reaction..:: TO: pain killers huh? all right.. stop by sickbay IF we get back to the ship.. assuming the ship is there to get back too

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: The Bellicose ... we heard that name before.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
OPS: Hhhmm, I do not trust the Captain's integrity or his motives for not telling us about it... but it sure makes you wonder...  ::glances at the Klingons again::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: It's not really his choice...Starfleet's tying his hands here.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
Aqua Alien Three: Then the same events start at all the Alternate time lines, yet they can end in different way?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Turns:: CO: When we were trying to escape our realm ... using our transportation drives to break through to yours, there was a shockwave ... one that we assumed to be a result of our realm's destruction. During it we heard voices, alien ones ... peculiar ones, and the name "Bellicose" was mentioned ... as was "Inv'd."

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CIV: Something like that.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
OPS: Ooohh..?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances at the CSO:: CSO: To think..

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::stops at the wall where they came through the first time and looks at it::

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
CMO: It will be, or we could get a lift with the Klingons ::purrs quietly::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: so.. any ideas on how melting rocks work?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien Three: Have you had contact with our realm before? I seam to recall reading something about beings similar to you on our database

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aran> @ ::Watches Raythan wander around the command center for a moment, then moves forward to give orders to his crew ... they're going to go into a rupture after those who possibly took the Montgomery & Klingon vessel crews::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CSO: We met representatives of your United Federation of Planets from the starship Elara.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::decides telling him just a little wouldn't hurt:: CEO: Omega is apparently a kind of particle. Starfleet really doesn't like it though, and we aren't supposed to know about it. So don't tell anyone...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::looks at the TO with an eyebrow raised:: TO: are you on Caitian nip or something?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Perhaps .. but how can we access information from the infinity of alternate timelines where this destruction didn't happen?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Raises his head at the sound of the destroyed ship:: Aqua Alien Three: The Elara?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien Three: It is curious ... the Elara was destroyed about the same time as your realm ...we were looking for her remains

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CSO: How unfortunate, they seemed like pleasant people. ::After feigning interest:: Is there anything else you would like to know about our studies?

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
OPS: Hhhmmm, that would be an understatement...  if they would go in such lengths to institute some rule or directive to tie the Captain's hands...

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Aqua Alien: Not surprising, comm. channels were flooded with ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications....Inv'd is the true name of the Bellicose, as they call themselves....

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
::lets go of the CMO's hand content his tail is no longer in danger:: CMO: No... I just like places like this, gets my instincts running

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::pokes at the wall:: TO: they would just toss us all into deep space first chance they got..

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: The Aegis vessel makes the proper adjustments, and suddenly a beam is emitted from their deflector dish at a nearby rupture ... which begins to open. A moment later, they fly into the rupture.

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: The problem is, we did not hear the voices on our vessel's comm. frequencies ... we heard them in our minds ... felt them in our souls ...

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
CMO: You dont like Klingons I take it then ::trots around to the other side of the CMO::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien three: Not at the moment, we appreciate this exchange of information

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::a little more couldn't hurt...:: CEO: It's apparently very very dangerous...enough that it can destroy subspa...ohhhh I get it now...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::folds arms at her lack of success and huffs:: TO: say.. did you feel that? ::twitches her antennae and looks around the hall::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Alien Three: Actually.. one more thing. When are you returning us to our ship?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CSO: When our Commandant has deemed it time.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
Aqua Alien Three: And if we'll fail in helping you?

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
CMO: Feel what? ::looks around::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Aqua Alien: The Bellicose vanished, is it possible they became some sort of....energy that integrated with you?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Three> CIV: Then we'll return you all the same.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::nods to the alien::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: this ship or what ever it is.. changed speed and direction.. we are moving again.. but to where..

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::If they could only raise eyebrows ...:: CO: We are quite sure that we have not integrated with anyone.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::nods::  OPS: Yup, it probably has something to do with the alien's homeworld then... ::looks a bit surprised::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Well, it seem I was indeed paranoid. They seem friendly enough

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: Probably is what created the big dead-zone too...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I believe this problem is now in the hands of our Captain .. there is little or nothing we can do from here

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I don't question their intentions but I am starting to question their behavior

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Huffs, and begins to walk around the Chamber quietly::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::Isn't sure what to say::

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
CMO: I didn’t feel anything... but it must be those sensitive sticks of yours

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::looks at the TO almost offended and growls:: 

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
OPS: Yup.. that explains a lot...  I don't see why Starfleet is being so secretive about it...

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: We used to say the same thing about Terrans ::Smiles at that thought::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: If that's it, it would explain why Starfleet doesn't want anyone to know about it too...anything that can do that much damage could be extremely dangerous.

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Pulls out his Dk’Tang, and pokes at one of the orbs::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Yes but humans are quite harmless in comparison

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: did you call them 'sticks' because I'm female or because i don't have fur.. ::stated flatly::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: Could you imagine if the Dominion had got their hands on it during the war?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the entire Aqua Alien Entity vessel lurches ... the crew somewhat lose their footing. Several Klingons end up with horribly replicated gagh and blood wine on them.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: so you like picking up terran humor huh!

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: But what if they had the same technology? 
CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::falls forward on the TO::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
Oof! ::Stumbles and stabs his Dk’Tang into an orb to keep his footing::

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
CMO: Hey I was only joking ::smiles:: I didn’t mean any offence ::stumbles and manages to regain his balance::

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
OPS: Maybe so...  but as it appears, it's not something that you find everyday or in every sector of the alpha quadrant..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: We seam to be loosing stability ...

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::falls to the ground:: AAL: What’s going on?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::falls to the side, sliding down the floor several meters::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Are you okay?

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::The Dk’Tang electrocutes him, and he is flung back:: Argh! ::Is not knocked unconscious ... but a bit singed::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Of course I am fine...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::sneezes from all the fur in her face and rolls off the TO::

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Taps his wrist band:: *Command Center* Report!

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV:I wonder if this was an attack

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Two> *AAL* Commandant, our maneuvers have brought us into momentary contact with the "dead zone" ... we're being dragged in.

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
:;stands up having been flattened by the CMO:: CMO: Thank you very much :;shakes himself::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::gets up to his feet:: CEO: That can't be good...

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> *Command Center* Full power to engines! Get us out into normal space if possible!

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: And to answer your question .. if humans had this level of technology ... they would probably use it for useless purposes such as entertainment .. they would still be harmless

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
::Grumbling off to the side as he tries to "pull himself" together::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::stands up and brushes the fur off before grabbing her head at the awful high pitches sound of plasmas being exerted:: ouch! make it stop!

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::waving his hands to his balance::  OPS: Nope...certainly not...

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: They seem panicked.. I wonder what's wrong..

Host CO_Capt_James says:
T'yarn: T'yarn, are you alright!

Host Cmdr_T`yarn says:
CO: I'm fine ... what is going on?

TO_Lt_Mesme_ says:
CMO: Make what stop? I cant hear anything?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I hope they know more of this situation than they know of the destruction of their home

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: argh! useless male! help me get that wall open!

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Most interesting, but I'm sure they know what they're doing ::Pauses:: I hope
