Host FM_Selan says:
Previously on Star Trek: A Call To Duty - U.S.S. Elara ...
 
Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The Elara's final fight with the Bellicose from “It's Always Darkest…” with the Bellicose cruisers firing their polaron bursts from every side. The crew dying one by one in slow motion … the injured Ensign Raythan running with a crying baby Shane into a nearby pod.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: Flash to Ens. Raythan waking up and speaking with Aran. “How long has it been?” “Three months since the Elara's … destruction.” Images of battered Starfleet [and other ACTD] vessels returning to their home bases following the Omega Crisis.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The Montgomery investigating the abandoned Klingon Vessel Urn'Vek. Soon followed by gravitational shudders that hint at something approaching.

Host FM_Selan says:
CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV/CO: The phenomenon could simply be attracted to us for some reason

Host FM_Selan says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CO: If this is indeed an life form, maybe there is a way to communicate with it?

Host FM_Selan says:
CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CO: or maybe something's trying to keep us from that Klingon wreck

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: A hole appearing near the Montgomery as a giant Entity leaps out and swallows it whole … flashing to the crew waking up amongst the Klingons. The arrival of the Aqua Aliens, “Our realm, our home existence, was destroyed.”

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The Aqua Alien Library as they view the orb of their realm's destruction. The realization that they existed in subspace is given.

Host FM_Selan says:
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::

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The Captain explaining to the Aqua Aliens about “Omega.”

Host FM_Selan says:
Host CO_Capt_James says:
Aqua 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.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The Aegis vessel encountering the dormant Montgomery and Urn'Vek … Aran and Ens. Raythan pondering the mystery of the vanishing crews, and the nearby gravitational holes.

Host FM_Selan says:
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.

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

Host FM_Selan says:
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.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The Aegis cruiser leaping into a nearby hole … flash to the Aqua Aliens Entity vessel shaking and shuddering, the crew being flung around.

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

Host FM_Selan says:
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.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: Last image of the Aqua Alien Entity vessel slowly falling toward nothingness …

::sitting on the floor in the large hall with all the other Klingons still::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Aqua Alien Entity vessel slowly begins to drift toward the nothingness ...

Host CO_Capt_James says:
AAL: What’s going on?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Sitting on the cave’s hard floor, he studies the surroundings::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: We are drifting into the nothingness that has become our realm ... if we enter it, we will surely cease to exist!

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I believe we are no longer being thrusted by the engines ..we are adrift

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Self: How nice.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Klingons are getting "antsy" as the shaking continues.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::paces up & down passively, with his usual slight limp::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks around the room as the ship feels like it's falling. He jumps to his feet and looks around for any of the Aqua Aliens::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::braces on the wall and watching the hall::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO & T'yarn: We must head to the Command Center!

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CTO: Do you have any idea of where the control center of this vessel may be located?

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots carefully over to the CMO:: CMO: Are you okay?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances up at the CSO, he pauses and tries to feel the cave:: CSO: It seems you're right, the shivers seemed to stop, or at least decrease ::Raises::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::nods to the Aqua Alien Leader then begins to follow::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CSO: that i dont

Host FM_Selan says:
<Cmdr. T'yarn> ::Still recovering from the effects of his earlier electrocution:: AAL: By all means ... ::Slight grunt:: Lead us there.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::looks a bit nervous around the room::  OPS: Just our luck... ::looks at the ceiling for moment::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: no.. all that whining and shaking is getting annoying! any idea how to get it to stop?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Nods, and guides them out of the Library to the nearest "lift" which has a peculiar orange glow::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: It means they have ran out of options for the moment. CIV/CTO: We must find a way to help them control their ship

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> *Command Center* Are we having any success in breaking away?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: Worst part of this is we don't even know what’s wrong...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Two> *AAL* No, my leader!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The ship shudders violently again.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
CMO: Im afraid not ::trots to the other side of the CMO:: We could always go ask one of the aliens

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: They seem far more advance then us, what makes you think we can help them where they failed? We don't even know how their systems operate

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::is thrown off his feet and lands awkwardly on his side::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, a darkness permeates the cave ... seemingly reaching out and "absorbing" several Klingons.

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::begins to wake up and find himself in  strange facility::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: We don't have any other option

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: you mean wonder around the ship aimlessly while it shakes apart right?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CSO: they probably dont use LCARS - what chance do we have of helping?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks up:: CEO: What the hell is that?!

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Takes one step back:: CSO/CTO: Something is going on..

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::His mind feels a familiar whispering of darkness ... the ship has drifted somewhat into the nothingness::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CTO:I am not certain ... ::looks at the darkness:: CIV/CTO: What happened to the Klingons?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
AAL: How long before the engines are gone?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Klingons & Montgomery crew shout and move away from the darkness.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::steps away from the Blackness:: All: we better get away from here though

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::backs off slowly away from the coming darkness::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
CMO: Well not exactly, that would be a bit pointless, but maybe someone knows what is going on

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::looks around again, in a rush::  OPS: Good question...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::As they enter the lift:: CO: If the engines are absorbed by the nothingness, we will be plunged in instantly. ::Presses a button::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Turns around:: CSO/CTO: I suggest we'll make our exit now

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::perks up and turns toward the wall.. where the crew is on the other side.. :: TO: did you hear that?!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is a flash of light, and the CO, T'yarn and the AAL suddenly find themselves in the Command Center.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV/CTO: This .. darkness ... that’s what their realm has become. I've seen it when they gave me the information about their realm

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CEO: I'm willing to bet it's nothing good. ::gets up to his feet and turns to back off::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::he gets up off the bed and stands looking all around::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Turns to look at the CSO:: CSO: Then how did it get here?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::does not look surprised although she is somewhat::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::listens:: CMO: No... what was it?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Klingons have gotten tired of this, and easily dispatch the two Aqua Aliens that "guard" the exit to the caves ... rushing into the corridors.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::looks around, slightly disoriented::

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
OPS: Agreed... we should back off... ::looks at the rest of the crew::  and why don't we have a tricorder when we need one..  ::grumbles slightly::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Maybe it didn't get anywhere ..we got there

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::steps back as the door opens and Klingons grumble and charge out::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CSO / CIV: ::points to the Klingons, looks like were leaving

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
Aliens: What has happened?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Carika, I suggest we'll leave now. I don't care much for this darkness you keep mentioning

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: a way in?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::watches the Klingons fight their way through. While not agreeing with it, he's not about to give up an escape route:: CEO: Come on, we're getting out of here. ::heads for the corridor::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Aqua Alien Command Center consists of nothing but a cubical room in which a bunch of the aforementioned aliens float while pressing small spherical buttons which hover before them with no consoles to attach to.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::keeps close to the wall as the Klingons come running by:: CMO: Looks like a way out, they didn’t look happy

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The darkness continues to absorb the caves, some of the Montgomery crew vanish as it moves it's way through ... the Klingons rush into the corridor.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
OPS: HEY! over HERE! ::waves at the others from the side of the hall::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Do you know where to go?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ALL: Report.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Anywhere but here will be good

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::turns out of the corridor in with Lir’Loi and Mesme:: Both: Did you see that...whatever back there?

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::looks around there doesn't seem anybody in site, he leaves what looks to be a alien medical facility into the corridor::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
AACrew: What’s the status of my crew?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: We can head back to the library

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Two> ::Floating, wearing a visor as well. He turns to his leader:: AAL: 14% of the ship has been absorbed ... we're attempting to steer the engines away from it to prevent absorption while as well as getting out. The holding bay has been penetrated ... as such, the Klingons have broken free in a panic.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::follows OPS::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
OPS: no.. but I heard it.. lets get out of here.. maybe the medical ward..

Host FM_Selan says:
<Cmdr. T'yarn> AA2: Were you intending to leave them to die?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::starts moving in the opposite direction to the darkness::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::nods:: CMO: Lead the way.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Nods, he runs after the CSO::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::looks into the room at the blackness, his hair stands on end:: CMO: I think we need to be going now

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Two> ::Looks at the Klingon, then at his leader:: AAL: My commandant, there is nothing more that we can do ...

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::exits the bay with the others::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Takes a breath, then turns to the CO:: CO: Is there anything that your crew may be able to do?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: But this is a battle these aliens have lost once before. If we don't help them they will possibly loose again

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::leads the group to the medical ward to collect the last of the crew::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Aqua Alien Entity vessel shakes again, the crew finding themselves being thrown around with several Klingons and their own crew.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::following behind Lir’Loi::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: We can't help them if we'll die, can we?

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::looks to see has no comm badge, nor anything, but he is wearing his uniform::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::grabs for a door frame as the ship jerks::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::falls against the wall::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::falls against the wall of the corridor, then straightens himself up again::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::looks at the AAL:: AAL: Maybe, I need access to your system and I need my crew up here now.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
XO: sir! ::thud:: come on! we have to get moving!

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots after the crew, staggering as the ship shakes beneath him::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::gets up:: CIV: That question is rhetorical

Host CO_Capt_James says:
AAL: Can we return to normal space?

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::hits the wall but continues the path, following the rest of the crew::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Falls near the CSO, he glances up:: CSO: Sometimes they're the best questions. Are you okay? ::Raises and glances around::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: take them to the library!

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: Your CSO will possibly be the only one of them that might have any idea of how our system works as we've established mental contact with them, but ... *ALL LEVELS* Montgomery command crew, report to the nearest lift immediately.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: If we could, we'd be there ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::has her shoulder slightly bruised but since there is nothing she can do about it, she acts as if nothing happened. Makes a mental note to walk more carefully next time::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CMO: Doctor, where did you come from?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The crew comes across several Klingons in a fight with Aqua Aliens who were only trying to lend assistance.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::hears the comm, then shouts back at the roof:: That's great, where's a lift?!

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I am fine .. it seams we are needed

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::hears the comm:: OPS: I have no idea

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
XO: down the hall where the ship is dissolving.. come on we have to move.. get the rest of the crew.. ::hears the announcement under the rumbling:: we are going to head up the decks

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::runs over to a hovering control buttons and tries to make heads or tails of it::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: The Klingons never learn do they? this is also rhetorical

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances at the nearby Klingons:: CSO: Move to the lift then, I'll try to help the Aqua Aliens

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::heads for what looks like it might be a lift::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks down the hall, then back the way they came, trying to find a stupid lift::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: The whole crew was requested to go

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: You included

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Someone must help them, you can't just ignore them

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: More shouts from behind the crew, the corridor is started to dissolve.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Two> Command Center: 21% of the vessel has been absorbed.

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::loses his balance as he quickly heeds to her seriousness of the situation, around him::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: We must leave this place quick ... whatever you do don't stay long down here

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::turns and looks down the hall:: All: move! we are running out of hall to run down!

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
XO: Sir, this doesn't look good... we may be facing the same things that happened these Alien's homeworld..

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is a burst of energy fire from the crew's right, the Klingons who were in a fight earlier are stunned by an apparent electrical surge.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::heads for the lift looking back at Darell::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::standing behind the XO, he catches him as he begins to fall:: XO: Careful there commander...

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::increases his pace::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots after the crew, wanting to be out of this place now::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: The problems seams to have solved itself ... come

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::finds a doorway with funny markings.. :: self: I sure hope this is a lift.. 

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
OPS: thanks Ensign

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances around: Self: What..? ::Sighs and turns around, he rushes to the lift:: CSO: Odd

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::reaches a "lift" holding the doors open for the others:: ALL: C'mon

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::enters one of the lifts::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
CTO: any idea which button is up?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, the Aegis Cruiser arrives on the "edge" of forever and never. Aran and Ens. Raythan watch in awe at the peculiar "mirror-image" of normal space that acts as a barrier between normal space & the nothingness which they can see the Aqua Alien Entity vessel about to fall into ...

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::follows the CSO into a lift::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::nods to Brocksmith and stands behind Lir’Loi, waiting for her to open up the door::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: Not really ... just a caution measure ...

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CMO: Just hit something... ::looks back at the darkness coming down the hall::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::follows the CMO as she seems to know the place::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::inspects the lift for any controls::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Enters the lift:: TO, CMO: So, where were you two?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::Studies the controls for a moment then randomly presses one:: CMO: this one

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::gets in the lift with the CTO:: CIV: lost in this bloody ship.. CTO: pick a button!

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: Checking on our crew

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CMO: I take it I was affected by the radiation we had encountered?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Nods and glances back at the CTO::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is a burst of light, and the crew find themselves on the Command Center with the CO, T'yarn, AAL and the other floating Aqua Aliens.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::turns:: AAL: I have no idea how any of these work.  Do you have any high yeild weapons?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
XO: I don't know.. these aliens didn't tell me what they found..

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Thinks, then looks at AA2::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Cmdr. T'yarn> ::Staring at the screen of darkness::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::rubs eyes:: all: or not.. 

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::blinks as he suddenly finds himself.. somewhere else::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
:;tenses up slightly:: All: That was...fast...

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances around, he frowns:: CSO: Too bad we don't have this kind of lifts in Starfleet

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks around at the room::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Two> CO: We have large energy pulse weapons ... why?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
ALL: everyone here?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
TO: You're not kidding...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CTO:I believe this was what I was looking for earlier

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Looks at the Entity vessel:: Aran: Wow ... what is that?

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::frowns a bit and looks around the room::  Self: What the...?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
AA: We might be able to use the force of the blasts to throw us free.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: perhaps we will someday

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CSO: ok Vulcan work your magic

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CMO: yes, know lets see if we can get this thing to work?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
ALL: I'll take that as a yes..

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO: Can you understand these control buttons?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ Raythan: They call themselves the Aquati ... otherwise known as the "Aqua Aliens." The Elara encountered them in the past ... they are known for cross-dimensional hopping.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Frowns at the CTO:: CTO: Watch your tongue Commander

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: I don't suppose ::turns the XO around so he can see out of the lift:; that helps?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO: I can try

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::squints at the CIV through narrow eyes::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO: Do it, we need to figure out a way to get out of here.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
:;walks around the control center, admiring the strange technology::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: One of the Aqua Aliens acknowledges the CSO's statement and presses a button, the CSO suddenly finds herself floating as a series of small spherical buttons floats in front of her in a certain order. A visor envelops her eyes.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CTO: She has a name after all

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: This is quite different from what I am used to ...

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks around and shies away, this isn't even close to anything he's ever seen before::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::tries to understand the logic behind these buttons::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CIV: Save it Lt.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::studies carefully the symbols remembering the information she was given ::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Cmdr. T'yarn> ALL: One question ...

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Flash to Ens. Raythan on the Aegis Cruiser ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Finishing T'yarn's question:: ... what is that?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::looks over to T'yarn::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::folds arms and stares at the klingon::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: On the viewscreens of both vessels, they see "something" moving in the darkness ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::looks at the view screen and lets both hands drop to her side::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::...she starts taking some conclusions take form .. so they are experiencing the same that happened to the qua alien's realm::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... and a hand begins to form, an inhuman ... malleable hand which begins to reach toward the Aqua Alien vessel it has already ensnared.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ ::Stands as they see the hand form:: My god.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::stops trotting and looks at the viewscreen, his hair stands on end again::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::eyes go wide:: self: what in the 6 moons..

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::under his breath:: What the...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::tries to use the ship's sensors to analyze the "hand"::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::looks at the AAL:: AAL: What is that?

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Opens his mouth in shock at the view, he quickly closes his mouth and begins to think::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
Self: this doesn't look like fun

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Eyes open in recognition:: The Black Goo ... I thought it was destroyed ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
CO: is there something you should tell us sir?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, all the telepaths hear a deep, dark whispering voice in their minds ... "Mind Speaaaakerrrrrs ..."

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: That .. hand... seems to the impersonation of the darkness itself

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: It is not easily described rationally

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
self: Black Goo?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::hands go up to his temples as the voice takes over his mind::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Looks up:: CSO: Is there anything you can do?

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::looks at the viewscreen::  Self: What on earth is that...?

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CO: ::walks over to him:: I am back, what is all this? Where is the Montgomery?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Black Goo hand maneuvers to grab the Aqua Alien vessel to completely absorb it ... but suddenly, bright bursts of purple energy are unleashed upon it. The dark whisper voice lets out a scream.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::watches the screen with interest::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I do not think so ...

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Aegis cruiser maneuvers to open fire again on the "creature."

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::throws his head back as the voice screams sooo loudly. Kyle does too::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
All: i think were getting in way over our heads

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances back at the viewscreen: CSO: Can you identify the attacking ship?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
OPS: hey.. you all right?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: I'll fill you in later, if there is a later.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ ::Looking at incoming scans:: I recognize the creature from a report the Elara made over a year ago ... it is an entity from another universe ... a goo-like creature which had absorbed everything. I had thought it destroyed ... but it survived. But how did it get he -- ::Stops as realization strikes him::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::grabbing at the sides of his head:: CMO: That thing....it's in my head...

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CSO: Can you get us back to the Montgomery?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
OPS: can you block it out?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO:  Commander, if you have any bright ideas nows the time.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CMO: I'm trying...

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CO: acknowledged

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::shut up shut up shut up shut up...::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I can not identify that vessel .... we must free ourselves or we will be destroyed

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The whispering voice is heard again ... "Oh, how I have yearned for so long ... I was hurt ... hurt so much by the Mind Speaaaaker ... and I felt it ... a pure energy source so desirable ... I felt it ... now it's gone ... oh, how I hunger ..."

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Can you communicate with the other ship?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
~~~Goo: Leave me alone you son of a...~~~

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: This creature is speaking into my mind .. it is hungry ...it intends on eating ..from us I believe

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CSO: tell it we taste bad

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::hears the CSO:: Self: Oh...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::ignores the voice for a second:: CIV: I will look into the communications system::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CSO: tell it no not us, perhaps we can find another way to provide what it needs

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::presses a few of the floating buttons that seam to open haling frequencies

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::walks over to the AAL:: AAL: You recognize this thing?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
XO:I can not remember any ethical way to do that ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
CSO: then think survival..

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
CSO: Like OURS!

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: Yes, there is no reasoning with it ... your Starfleet has done so in the past, and failed. I had thought it destroyed ... it has an never-ending hunger ... it will devour us and then try to move onto your realm. The destruction of our realm must have permitted it a way to get through.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
XO/CSO: I'll do it then. ~~~Goo: Not us.. we can find you something else to feed on...~~~

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Two> ::Calls out:: 57% of the ship has been absorbed!

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CSO: wells lets come up with something, I am not interesting in becoming food for another life form

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Aegis Cruiser maneuvers around the hand which swings at them, firing the entire time.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Watches in horror at the entity in the darkness:: This is such a nightmare ...

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::clenches his robotic fist tightly, making an audible grinding sound::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
AATwo: Do we still have weapons?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Two> CO: Yes ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: It feeds on the energy of other living beings. We must produce such energy in some way

Host CO_Capt_James says:
AA Two: Well then shoot it, who ever else is out there is trying to help us.

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CSO: we are in the command center, lets see if we can make something out of these computers even though they are strange

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO: Should I fire then?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO: Fire.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::hears the CSO again and almost shakes his head::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Black Goo Creature ignores the Aegis Cruiser, and turns it's attention back to the Aqua Alien Entity vessel.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::fires the weapons::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::hears the word fire!:: CO / CSO: yes Fire at the Blaggard!

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::makes them detonate when they are in range of the hand::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the Aqua Alien Entity vessel lets out a massive burst of electrical energy ... sending it back flying from the nothingness as a massive scream fills the minds of the telepaths.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The darkness vanishes from the Aqua Alien starship, revealing the earlier absorbed crew who are cold and shaking.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::falls backwards to the deck, his hands on either side of his head::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ ::Sees the Aqua Alien Vessel break free:: Aegis One: Tractor them! Aegis Two: Get us out of here!!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Aqua Alien Entity vessel flips away as the crew are flung here nor there except for the CSO who is floating peacefully with the other Aqua Aliens.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::slides across the floor::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: The being is gone and this ship is again out of the darkness

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::is thrown to the ground::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Upon Aran's command, his cruiser comes about and latches onto the Aqua Alien Entity vessel with purple light ... and begins rushing toward the nearby hole which will guide them back to normal space. The Black Goo Creature gains its composure and reaches for both ships.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::tumbles around the room, hissing as he goes::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::hands still on his head, he slides across the floor into a corner and is crumpled up::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Cmdr. T'yarn> ::Grits teeth:: Incoming ...

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::lands on the ground::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::sees it coming back:: CSO: Fire again!

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: It seams its not over ... the creature is returning

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Falls to the floor, he moans in pain for a moment and quiets down::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
~~~Goo: Let us go you stupid stupid thing! What did we ever do to you?~~~

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::fires the weapons as before to the being::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::almost enjoys the pain::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
All: why designers of starships don't include seatbelts is beyond me ::as he lies on the floor::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::as soon as the weapons recharge she fires again without seeing the state of the creature::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::sits up and shakes himself:: Self: I am definitely going to need those painkillers

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Raises slowly::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
All: Everyone are okay?

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::doesn't get up, he watches the proceedings from his corner::

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::gets up again::  XO: Probably because they still have those Starfleet General Orders in mind, talk first.....  ::smiles faintly::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::picks himself up & moves gleefully toward the viewscreen::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Creature screams in their minds as the weapons strike ... and finally, they break through.

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CIV: yeah ok, nothing like getting thrown up against a solid steel floor

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::freezes for a moment hearing the scream in her mind but soon regains her posture::

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::lets out a sigh as the ship re-enters normal space.. then stands up and looks at the Aliens and feels her temper flaring::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::he get up to his feet::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
XO: It seems we're in luck, we broke through Commander

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: we are out of the darkness

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances up:: CSO: Good job

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
Aliens: what was the point of trying to get us all DEAD!

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::sighs in relief:: CSO: Excellent work.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: The aqua's technology did most of the job

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: As soon as they break through, the Aegis cruiser lets loose a pulse behind them, effectively closing down the hole, trapping the Black Goo entity in it's new "home."

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::stands and makes sure nothing in broken, turns his attention to the CMO:: Self: Not again ::trots over to her::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CMO: Easy Lieutenant....I'm sure this was not intended.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Aegis Cruiser, along with the Aqua Alien vessel, float mere kilometers away from the dormant Montgomery.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: Indeed it was not ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO: Thank you sir but I should have fired sooner

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Two> CSO: Good work, Commander.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::tugs at her sleeves and gets a stiff stance.. grumbling and fuming::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CIV: ::looks at the screen:: yeah, however I will be even happier to be back on the Montgomery

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::looks at the Montgomery:: AAL: I take we have returned to normal space.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::does a quick adjustment to the shoulder fitting of his arm then flexes it to make sure it works ok::

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CSO: You're not kidding... ::still in the corner, his head is killing him::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
All: That ship has closed the hole behind us ... the creature can no longer enter our realm

Host FM_Selan says:
<Cmdr. T'yarn> ::Hruffs:: ALL: Now that that is over, you may return me and my crew back to our vessel ... and hope that you are all on the good sides of the Empire when I report these happenings.

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Maybe, but you did all you could. You should be proud ::Turns to the XO:: XO: We all would Commander

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ Aran: Phwew ... that was close ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::yells this time:: Aliens: WELL!

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ ::Looking at the Aqua Alien vessel:: Yes ... close ... would you like us to transport you over to them? We have detected Starfleet personnel.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::cautiously tugs at the CMO's arm, tensing just in case:: CMO: Dont let it get to you, we got okay didn’t we

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CMO: Yes? ::Keeping calm::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO: Do you wish me to try to contact that vessel?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::marches over to one of the floating weirdoes:: Alien: I ask you a question.. you kidnapped the crew.. locked us up and then tried to feed us to a giant black Goo thing.. and FOR WHAT!

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ Aran: I ... will Shane be going with me?

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::looks at the Alien, thinks ut oh you made the Doctor mad::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CMO: Enough, contain yourself Lieutenant, that’s an order.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::In a cold, and dangerous voice:: CMO: Our realm was destroyed ... our home taken from us ... our entire race annihilated. We came to you looking for answers. We had no intentions of feeding you to anything ... and we did our best to protect you. I suggest you get information straight before starting a confrontation, Doctor.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots after the CMO again, and watches::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Cmdr. T'yarn> ::Grins, liking this Doctor every bit::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ ::Looks at the Ensign for a moment ... silent:: Ens. Raythan: It is ... within Shane's best interests to stay with us.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
AAL: I apologize.  It has been a long two months....for ALL of us.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Narrows her eyes:: Aran: But that's not fair ... what gives you the right to keep him?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ Ens. Raythan: Who else is going to watch over him? The Late Ms. Zaris' imbecile father? Her dead sister?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ Ens. Raythan: He has no one else but us!

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::clenches both fist and grits her teeth at the alien:: CO: aye.. sssir.. err.. ::turns on her heels and walks away from the Alien.. pauses at the Klingon and slugs him:; Klingon: Don't look at me like that!.. ::grumbles off:: freaks..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::raises an eyebrow at the discussion and then returns to studying the information from the darkness creature::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::frowns at his CMO, but he understands her anger::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Cmdr. T'yarn> ::Lets out a hearty laugh as the Doctor stalks off:: CO: Impressive crew, Captain. Now if you'll excuse me, I shall gather my crew for return to our starship ... ::Looks at the AAL:: which I trust will be soon?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::lets out a loud laugh at the CMO's feistiness::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CMO: I think you should calm down Lieutenant

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Thinks about it ... then in a strong voice that she learned from her brother, she steps up to the much taller Aran ... staring him in his eyes:: Aran: Wrong ... he has me. And as long as you keep him, I'll be staying with you.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::remains with the alien's headset trying to learn a bit more::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::scurries after the CMO:: CMO: You know that wasnt necessary

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
CIV: that’s nice..

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CMO: ::walks over to the Doctor:: Doctor!, temper temper...enough!

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: No.. it wasn't.. but I feel better

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aran> @ ::Stares down at her:: Ens. Raythan: Are you sure you want to do this?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ Aran: I'm sure that Doctor Zaris would want me to watch after her son ... and by god, I will.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::smiles faintly::  Self: Gotta love such a CMO...

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
CMO: Would you feel better if you were in the brig after something like that?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> CO: Captain ... I must apologize for all that has happened. We will transport you back to your vessel ... but we must ask for asylum ... we ... we have no where else to go ...

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::glares at the TO and then turns to the XO:: XO: I am calm aren’t I!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: During all of this, the Aegis Cruiser comes about ... taking Aran, Ens. Raythan and Shane off to yet another adventure which is yet to come ...

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::smiles:: AAL:  I'm sure that will not be a problem.  I will contact Starfleet as soon as I return to the Montgomery.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::watches the CMO and then the XO::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Aqua Alien Leader> ::Nods to AA2::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::speaks in a low voice:: CIV: I believe the CMO could benefit from a  few months in a Vulcan school for self control

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Nods at the CSO, he tries to hide a smile::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The entirety of the Montgomery crew suddenly finds themselves onboard their no longer dormant vessel which has not changed since their disappearance ... all systems are operative.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::sniffs and wipes her nose.. looking over at the CSO.. her Andorian blue skin still a bit purple from her temper flare::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
All: now this is more like it

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::slides the fingers of his good hand beneath his eye patch - fiddling with something::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Aqua Alien Entity vessel comes along side the Montgomery.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::his hair stands on end after the sudden change of location:: Self: I wish they would give us some warning of that

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::recognizes his TAC console:: All: home sweet home

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
::is suddenly woken up by the whirring of his console:: Hrmm? ::looks around:: Oh, right. ::sits up straight::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::goes to science one:: CO: All systems operating within normal parameters

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::huffs and looks around::

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
TO: yeah that is very strange,

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::rubs his eyes, as they are very tired::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
OPS: Open a channel to SFC, put it through in my Ready Room.

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::rubs the base of his tail:: CMO: How about those pain killers?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
::groans.. since CMOs don't have a place on the bridge.. and just leaves with out a word::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Walks towards FCO, he sits down:: XO: Navigational systems stand at ready Sir.

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CO: Incoming message from the Aqua Alien ship first sir. They'd like to be taken to the Klingon ship to get rid of their Klingons.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO: Should we resume our previous assignments?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
OPS: you can hardly blame them can you?

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
TO: you want them come to sickbay.. ::as the lift door shuts:: TL: sickbay.. now!

Host CO_Capt_James says:
OPS: Acknowledged, tractor them and tow them to the Klingon vessel.  Make sure the Klingons don't try anything.

CEO_LtJG_Donaway says:
::sitting back in the seat of his console::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO: No, I think we have a new assignment now....

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CTO: Not at all... CO: As for the Starfleet message, from here it will take about 3weeks there and 3 weeks back. You still want me to send it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CIV: standby

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::nods remaining at her set ...she knows orders will come soon::

TO_Lt_Mesme says:
::trots over to the tl doors and waits:: Self: What a day...

OPS_Ens_Hamilton says:
CO: Will do. ::locks onto the AA ship and brings them around to the Klingons::

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
::Glances back at the CSO:: CSO: Are you sure you're okay? Your shoulder seems to trouble you..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: I do not think the CMO is in condition to cure a minor bruise...

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
*CMO*: at the end of our duty shift I wish to speak with you in private in sickbay

CIV_LtCmdr_Darell says:
CSO: Then allow me?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
XO: Well, that was certainly interesting.

CMO_Lt_Lir`Loi says:
*XO*: fine commander.. you need a check up any way..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CIV: certainly

Host XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CO: I apparently missed half of it, I had woke up in the Aliens medical facility on there ship, but what I didn’t miss was certainly different

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: And with that, the Montgomery tractors the Aqua Alien vessel and begins to escort it to the Urn'Vek to finally complete this peculiar misadventure ... yet another aftermath of the months old Omega crisis.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: Another place at another time ...

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: It had been awoken from it's sleep by the screech ... the universal cry of a bird of prey unleashed by a force of energy undreamt of.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: The screech had told him that it was time ... but time for what? It had not known ... and found itself in confusion. And loneliness. It wondered why it felt so alone ... what had been taken from it? What was it missing? So many questions ... so few answers.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: Searching its soul, it soon realized what it was missing ... and found itself at the sight of a months old battlefield. Bits and pieces of a ship's hull floated around him, along with broken & battered limbs ... the death of innocence and heroes.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: It was "not their time," the being had soon realized. An unfair and unfortunate end to come to people such as this ... it was then that it's decision was reached.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: As it was not time for their deaths ... their deaths would be ended. Bringing the corpses back to proper existence was no hard feat ... it accomplished this in little time at all. The harder part was reacquiring what made them ... well, them ...

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: ... the thing that humanity refers to as a "soul," or what the Vulcans refer to as a "katra" is not something that can be easily reacquired. Especially after three months of being without it. To get it back the Ether would have to be reached ... but even that was not possible for this being.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: Or so it thought ... the bird that had awoken him ... the mighty Phoenix of the Inv'd had made a breach in the realm of space / time. A path to the Ether had been made ... as such, the being made its journey.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: The trip was long and mysterious ... it saw things which confused it ... troubled it ... a mighty Dark Knight in a furious battle with a lady of white and green ... it did not take the time to ponder the irony that the aforementioned women was the responsible for the deaths of those it was trying to save.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: Soon enough, it arrived where it wanted to ... the Ether. Voices too numerous to count continuously told it that this was wrong ... that it should not be here ... that it was not it's time ... it ignored them. It found whom it was looking for ... those whom had been taken from it ... and grabbed a hold of them.

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: Ripping them from their current state ... it traveled back where it had come ... arriving in time to view an actual starship being thrust [see Steve Mallory's U.S.S. Quirinus - "Journey's End"] back onto the proper plane of existence, followed by the "Dark Knight" defeating the lady of white and green ..

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: ... transforming her and her Inv'd people back into the phoenix that had brought them there, and sending them back into the Universe that they had so recently escaped. "Riding" on the "tail" of this mighty bird, it returned to proper existence with those it had come to rescue. Soon reuniting them with their bodies ...

Host FM_Selan says:
NARRATOR: ... the job was completed ... the heroes saved ... It would never actually realize what it had done, but one thing was for sure, things would never be the same.
