Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The Elara's trip back home.

Host FM_Selan says:
Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: A makeshift viewscreen in Main Engineering, set up by the Gamleasians, shows a brilliant blue rift open before the Aegis. A comm. comes over, "We have opened the rift, Elara. Godspeed and good luck."

Host FM_Selan says:
Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Elara moves forward ... and soon is sucked into the rift. They feel a sudden jolt ... but no motion after that ... it is as if they are standing still while the rest of the universe moves around them.

Host FM_Selan says:
Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The spec of black enlargens to show a whole new area of space ... and suddenly, the Elara is flung to an area where the stars look familiar.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is nothing there. No Starbase. No U.S.S. Adidas. No U.S.S. Fithos. Only a lone sensor buoy.

Host FM_Selan says:
CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::Jaw Drops::

SCENE: The arrival of Shinar's shuttle, the CO & CTO meeting the peculiar “Vulcan.”

 Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::walks forward and helps the Vulcan up::  Vulcan: I'm Captain David Harison of the Starship Elara....who are you?

Host FM_Selan says:
Host Shinar says:
CO & CTO: Wait, aren't you ... no, wrong reality ... just shaddup Shinar ... ::Is helped up:: I'm Shinar, uh, from the Starship Paula Greene.

SCENE: The Elara crew diligently working to repair the ship while the CO brings Shinar to Main Engineering – AKA the bridge.

Host FM_Selan says:
Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
XO: Whoever he is, he's lying to us.  He can't adequately explain why he left the Paula Greene, and he claims our vessel was responsible for some sort of....liquid in his shuttle.  Run the name Shinar through the main computer...or what's left of it.  See what we come up with.

Host FM_Selan says:
CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
XO: There was an unusual energy spike on deck 16, it doesn't look like a sensor glitch but its gone now

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Do you think the spike can be heading this way? ::Narrows his eyes in thought::

SCENE: Flash to the CSO calling out the decks as the energy spike gets closer.

Host FM_Selan says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Curses:: CO: Captain, something is coming here.. ::Glances up:: I believe it's connected to our ::Pauses:: visitor..

Host Shinar says:
::Looks at the CIV:: CIV: What exactly are you goin' on about?

Host FM_Selan says:
Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Suddenly, there is a burst of light and a rift opens in Main Engineering ... from it walks a hulking alien figure who holds a swinging chain with a blade on the end of it.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
Shinar: If my guess is correct, something is coming after you..

Host FM_Selan says:
Host Shinar says:
<Muertoc> ::Grins:: Shinar: Traveler, prepare to meet your death.

SCENE: The initial fight to stop Muertoc … various Elara crew being flung here and there. Shinar taking off.

Host FM_Selan says:
Host Muertoc says:
::Swings his bladed chain in spin:: Shinar: The Tribunal has ordered your termination following violation of your ... parole.

SCENE: The science lab fight scene as various members of the crew struggle to stop the seemingly invulnerable Muertoc.

Host FM_Selan says:
CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::goes to stand in front of Shinar:: Alien: hold on there.. what are you doing?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Grabs the CMO by her throat, and lifts her up:: CMO: My job. ::Tosses her into a table "gently"::

Host FM_Selan says:
CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::gasps at his grip and then flies thru the air.. landing on the table and sliding across it to the floor on the other side:: aaahh!

Host FM_Selan says:
Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Grabs Shinar's arm as the CO grabs him, and swings around ... causing both the CO & Shinar to fly into a wall and onto the ground hard::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::His arm dislocates:: ARGH!

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The collapse of the science labs.

 CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
::looks down:: what the?

Host FM_Selan says:
Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The crack from earlier has expanded ... all the heavy fighting on the weakened decks of the science labs have made things worse.

CTO_Cmdr_Timrok says:
All: look out!

Host FM_Selan says:
Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::As the CMO tries to move him, he hears the groaning and cracking too:: Oh sh --

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The entire floor collapses.

Host FM_Selan says:
Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: All of them find themselves plummeting through a deck into ... trees?

XO_Cmdr_Wall says:
Self:: ahhhhh!!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: They have all fallen into the shattered arboretum.

Host FM_Selan says:
CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::cracks a few branches and then lands in the reflection pool.. :: SPLASH:: 

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Self:  Figures.  ::plummets::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Hits a tree, and then falls into a dead flower bed::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::His arm was surprisingly relocated when he hit the tree ... whining in pain::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::in Main Engineering at her temporary console monitoring the CEO's progress on the transport system::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Commander Wall was knocked out in the fall.

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> ::Gains his bearings, and rushes over to the CMO to pull her out of the pool::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::shakes some debris off his back as he staggers to his knees::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Standing beside the CSO, he studies the console in front of him as he waits:: CSO: What's going on? we don't have much time ::Sighs and glances up in frustration:: Did the CEO contact you yet?

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::finishes with the last of the power reroutes::  *CSO*:  Ok I’ve got one of the pads working.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::glances at Maor:: CIV: He is working as best he can, have faith ...

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::still isn't breathing.. the shock of breaking the tree limbs knocked the air from her lungs::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
CSO: I do have faith, but they're running out of time.

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> ::Begins to perform CPR to get her breathing again::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO*: Thank you Hunter, lets see how this works CIV: You have the coordinates ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Coughing, begins to stand up::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CMO's lungs are filled with air, and she starts up again ...

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::chokes on the excess CO2 and heaves.. then starts to choke.. ::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Nods:: CSO: Transporting, ::Pauses and raises his fingers up the console:: now.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: We have to lock onto the gauntlet's signal

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: No effect. Nothing is transported.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: This isn't working ::shakes her head::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: We need to have an exact signal as the internal sensors don't give us enough information

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::keeps a close eye on his console hoping it all holds together::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::has the CTO let go and tries to get up.. but finds it hard.. her lungs are burning.. holds her sides and tries to look around::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Nods, he glances back at the console and frowns:: CSO: Suggestions?

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> ::Pats the CMO on the back as he lifts her up:: CMO: Are you all right?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Mumbling to the side::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::finally gets to his feet and begins looking around for Muertoc, sure he couldn't have been hurt in the fall::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::Frowns::*CEO*How far are you from the Arboretum?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: All we have is the Data from Timrok's tricorder... and we know the device is used for interdimensional travel

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
*CSO*:  One deck above

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
CTO: I dunno.. ::coughs:: think.. think I broke.. rib.. ::bends over coughing.. :: where’s the other?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The arboretum is a mess. Trees are fallen ... the mini-waterfall has spilt over and drenched most of the area. The smell of dead flowers and other plant-life fills the area. The lack of tending for six months has taken its course.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Okay, let's go over the data first, see what we'll found. If all things fail we'll have to use more creative ways..

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> ::Looks around:: CO: Captain, the Doctor is hurt. Shall I escort her to Sickbay?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Lightly kicks the XO with his boot:: CO: Your first officer's unconscious.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Muertoc is gone.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO*The Captain and the ones who went after the alien are there so I assume the Alien is there as well. If you can take a science tricorder and get down there, we could use some more readings

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::grabs Timrok's shirt:: CTO: NO.. deck.. communications.. got to get the subspace chip.. got to call for help..

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::nods to Timrok to help her to sickbay::  Shinar:  Quiet.  Where's Muertoc?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Somehow I think we will have to use our imagination, this isn't any ordinary situation, not even on this Ship

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> CMO: Communications are set up, Doctor. You are in need of medical assistance. Come along now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
*CSO*:  Will do.  ::leaves TR and heads for the jeffries tube::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Looks around:: CO: I don't see 'im ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: What if we tagged it...

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Glances up:: CSO: Tagged it? ::Narrows his eyes in thought:: How?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO*Thank you, keep sending in the data down here... ::looks up at the CIV::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
CTO: After we get the chip.. we can't last out here like this.. ::holds her side:: I just can't take a deep breath.. come on.. ::stumbles toward the door::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: Another energy spike ...in sickbay!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, in a room adjacent to Sickbay ... Ens. Raythan sits with little Shane who is playing with a ball and keeping himself calmly occupied.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CO*I've just detected another energy spike like the ones preceding the alien's arrival, in sickbay this time

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> CMO: Fine. ::As they leave:: But afterwards, we go to Sickbay. ::Looks around with phaser in hand::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Smiles and watches Shane::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CTO: Stop!  Don't move....

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is a crash in sickbay.

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> ::Stops, and turns back to the CO:: CO: Sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::climbs down the tube to the next level::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Looks up with concern, and calls out:: Doctor Zaris?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: I think its on the move, we have to work fast

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Doesn't look up from his ball::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::nods and heads down the hall.. pulls a program chip from her pocket:: CTO: this should work.. 

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> CMO: Doctor, one moment.

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CTO: He's waiting for us.....he expects us to come there....

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::leans on the wall and takes short breaths.. wheezing a bit::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Slowly gets up, concern spreading to her face. She turns to Shane:: Shane: Shane, wait right here ... I'll be right back.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Frowns, he glances at the console in front of him and starts scanning Sick Bay:: CSO: Whatever you suggest do it now.. ::Glances up:: Where's.. ::Curses:: *CMO* Maor here, where are you currently located?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Leaves the room to look around Sickbay for the source of the crash::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
*CIV*: hall.. hall way.. ::coughs again:: why>?

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::enters deck 7 and begins down the hall pulling out his tricorder::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: I was thinking that if we could put a transmitter on the gauntlet without the alien detecting it we could beam it out

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
*CMO* Where did you leave.. Shane?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: As Raythan leaves the room, a new rift opens behind Shane. From it the grinning Muertoc emerges.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
*CIV*: sickbay.. he's with the Raythan..

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
*CEO* Harison to Atrides

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::calibrates internal sensors to look for the specific frequency of the gauntlet's energy signature::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Glances ahead in shock, he turns towards the CSO and pauses:: CSO: Do it, I'm heading to Sickbay.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Spins his bladed chain:: Shane: Ah ... so they leave a child to fend for himself? I'll teach them a lesson ... yes, I will ... come here little child ... meet your end ... ::Prepares to slash Shane::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Turns towards the exit, he begins running::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Turns calmly to look at Muertoc with his crystal blue eyes:: Muertoc: You shouldn't be here. ::Said in a matter of fact tone::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Freezes and takes a step back, his eyes widening::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: If you are going to the alien take a tricorder and keep an open channel to me!

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Just stares at Muertoc::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CTO: With me Commander.  We're going to lay an ambush for him.

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
*CO*:  Atrides here sir

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Pauses at the door and nods, he grabs a tricorder from the nearby table and continues::

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> CO: Aye, sir, but what about the Doctor? ::Gestures at Zaris::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::starts clawing down the hall till she can get back to her feet and heads for sickbay.. since Maor sounded upset::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CMO: Doctor, stay here.  Your only endangering yourself if you fight injured...

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO*The alien is on the move, it is probably in sickbay by now. I am trying to get a lock on the gauntlet's energy signature but it is not easy

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
*CEO* How's the structural integrity near sickbay?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Growls something under his breath at Shane ... then turns and dives into a new rift::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
CO: if something’s wrong.. I'm not staying any where..

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
*CSO* How much data do you need?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Turns back to his ball once Muertoc has left::

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
*CSO*:  Understood.  I'm on my way there.  Will keep feeding you data

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CIV*Anything you can get me. There was just another spike in sickbay

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Enters the adjacent room:: Shane: Are you all right? I thought I heard talking.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO*I will

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::nods to the CMO:: CMO: Very well, find yourself a med kit and get back to Main Engineering until we can secure sickbay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::nears Sickbay and begins scanning::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Looks up from his ball for a moment:: Raythan: Oh ... I was jus' talkin' to myself.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
*CSO* He's gone? ::Glances around as he comes near sickbay, he spots someone entering::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::grumbles about the CO and limps her way toward the JT and sickbay::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::runs this new spike through the computer to determine its pattern and possibly the device's way of emitting it::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CIV*I can't detect him from up here. Only the spikes. Calibrate your tricorder to the energy from the gauntlet

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Left behind in the arboretum, he grunts as he lifts the XO and places him gently on a bench that they had there:: Sure ... they leave me to do the dirty work ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
*CO*:  Integrity is relatively ok

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> ::Watches the CMO head to a JT::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Storms into Sickbay, he glances around as he makes his way towards the center of the room:: *CSO* Already did, but it's a long shot. ::Pauses:: I think he's gone. ::Glances around again, he sighs:: Shane: Shane?

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::frowns::  CTO: Where is Muertoc now?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: No answer to Maor. Shane is not there.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::gets to the right deck and limps slowly toward the sickbay doors.. which are not far away.. yells down the hall:: MO: Leia!

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::looks for any unusual particles in the spikes::

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> CO: Unknown. *CSO* Cmdr., have you detected Muertoc?

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::enters sickbay and sees the CIV::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CIV*Be careful, he could be anywhere or nowhere at all

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: No answer to the CMO. Although the CIV & CEO hear her.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Steps out of the adjacent room into Sickbay:: CIV: Commander? What are you doing here?

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::leans on the wall to grab some air::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CTO*The last reading I got from him was an energy spike in sickbay which I reported to the Captain earlier

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Exits the arboretum ... goes to the nearest JT, mumbles for safety, and begins to climb toward Main Engineering::

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> *CSO* Understood. Keep us apprised. CO: Nothing new.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Turns around as he hears a voice behind him, he sighs and he notices Raythan:: Raythan: We detected an energy spike here, is Shane okay? ::Walks towards the room she parted::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::draws a deep breath and starts walking back toward sickbay::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CTO*Understood

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::sighs::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CIV: Um ... he's fine. Why? What's going on?

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::gets to the door and sees Maor's back.. frowns at being ignored.. goes on it and heads for the cabinet.. and she hopes a med kit::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
Self: I'm missing something here, what?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Sees the CMO:: CMO: Good lord, Doctor! ::Rushes over:: What happened?

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> CO: Where to now, sir?

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Frowns, he stops at the entrance and sighs in relief as he spots Shane:: Raythan: We have an intruder. ::He turns towards her:: Are you sure you didn't see or hear anything?

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::keeps scanning the room wondering where Muertoc  went to now::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
MO: the floor gave way.. ::rummaging thru the cabinet as blood shows on her orange jumper::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CIV: Some tricorders which I had collected fell over, but that was all ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CMO: What floor?! Here, sit down! ::Tries to get her to sit on a bio bed::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Exits out of the adjacent room:: Mommy! Daddy!

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::again looks at the data inserted on the computer, she re enters all the information from the spikes and the CTO's tricorder. She runs it through the computer again looking for the specific pattern that would allow a transporter to lock on::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::doesn't resist.. getting to hard to breath:: CIV: Maor! ::gasping::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Computer> CSO: Processing. Expected data correlation extraction to be completed in approximately twenty four minutes.

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
*CSO*:  Can you tell where Muertoc is now?

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
Raythan: Fell? ::Pauses:: Where did they fall? ::Turns towards the new source of sound.With a frown he walks towards the CMO:: CMO: What is it?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Look of concern:: CMO: Mommy! ::Rushes to her side::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
MO: think the rib.. puncture.. taste blood.. ::holds her side::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
Self: 24 minutes ... almost an eternity. And still I don't know it it'll work

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CTO: We need to find a way to trap him.  Any ideas on how to keep those rifts from forming?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Annoyed:: CIV: If you'll excuse me, I'm busy right now! ::Gets the Doctor to lay down::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
CIV: here.. ::hands him the program chip:: we have .. limited sub.. subspace.. set.. call for help.. ::gasp again:: by the moons.. 

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO*Not at the moment. Internal sensors can only detect him when he sends out those spikes, ie, when he activates his travel device

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
*CSO*:  Understood

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> CO: We have already attempted force fields ... I have no idea honestly. That lies with Cmdr. Gomes. However, I know how to lure him ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CEO*Look for any unusual energy readings sent out by his device

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Shakes his head:: CMO: Forget it. ::Glances back at the doors:: 

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Tears are forming in his eyes from the sight of his mother::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
Raythan: Please hand me a medical tricorder.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
CIV: why you over bearing klingon.. ::growls and then chokes:: if I could breath.. ::looks at him::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CIV: Choose one from the floor over there! ::Points to where they fell over::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Moves to lightly sedate the CMO, wants her to be lucid if they have to evac. from what the CIV just said::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CTO: Well, we know what he's after  

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::hold onto Shane and looks at Maor:: 

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::removes her hair of her face but then gives up, letting it all loose over  her shoulders::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Nods, he glances at the floor and walks towards them in a hurry. Grabbing one he raises and returns to the CMO:: CEO: Come here for a moment please.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Crying into the CMO's shoulder::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Begins scanning the CMO as he waits for the CEO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::moves over to the CIV::  CIV:  Yes?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Enters into Main Engineering:: CSO: Have you people caught this beast yet?

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
Shane: I'm all right sweetheart.. I just fell down.. the ship is hurt.. it just couldn't.. ::gasp:: hold my .. ::grabs her side::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Turns around:: CEO: Give this ::Hands him the chip:: to the CSO, she would know what this is. Okay?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Whimpers:: Raythan: Leia ... help her ... she's hurting ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
Shinar: Not yet, I am trying to lock onto the energy readings from his gauntlet. Do you have any relevant information?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Coughs somewhat and bends over:: CSO: Nada from me ...

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: From the inside of Shinar's leather jacket, an old worn book falls.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The book hits the metal plate work of main engineering and slides over to the CSO's feet.

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
CIV:  Ok  ::takes the chip and leaves sickbay entering the nearest JT and begins descending::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Glances back at the CMO, he frowns and closes the tricorder:: CMO: I'm not sure if we should operate under this conditions.. ::Glances back nervously::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> Shane: I know honey. I'll help her. Don't worry about it.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::looks down at the falling book:: Shinar: A Book? ::picks it up:: Something odd to carry on a starship nowadays

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
CIV: my ribs are broke.. just set them! 

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Some of the pain begins to leave the Doctor as the minor sedative takes action.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::glances at the cover::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The book, although worn, is leather bound ... carved into it is "Gabrielle's Diary."

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
CMO: I'm afraid they might have punctured your lungs!

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Rolls eyes:: Oh bleedin' heck ... forgot I even had that thing.

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
*CSO*  Where is Shinar now?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CIV: Her lungs are fine.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::sits up a bit::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::whispers to herself:: Self: What would a Vulcan do with a Diary? ::taps her badge:: *CO*Right here in Main Engineering

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
Shinar: You have a very unique way of talking for a Vulcan

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> CSO: I'm a very unique Vulcan. ::Looks around::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Grabs the bone regenerator, he glances back and places it beside them:: CMO: I'm going to give you something for the pain, okay?

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CTO: Where's structural integrity the weakest?  We'll have to send Muertoc out into space....

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CMO: Doctor, please lean back ... CIV: I've already given her a light sedative. Are you trained to use that? ::Motions at the bone regenerator::

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::Exits JT and runs down the hall into Main Engineering::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
Shinar: I can see that. What was your crime? Perhaps if we know its motivations we can better understand the Hunter

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::leans back and tries to relax on the biobed::

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::enters engineering and approaches the CSO::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::hugs Shane to her and tries to breath.. trying to calm down:: CIV: is the probe.. being programmed?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::glances at the CEO as he approaches::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Nervously pulls out a jum-jah stick:: CSO: He has no involvement in my "crime," which never happened. His motivation is to kill me and follow orders ...

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Nods at Raythan than, he begins passing the bone regenerator across her midsection::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The bone regenerator [one of the few left intact onboard as the sickbay stores were destroyed in the Bellicose attack or ransacked by the Gamleasians] detects the damaged bones and begins to repair them.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CMO: Mr. Maor sent the Chief to get the chip to Ms. Gomes.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::nods and just lays there::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::remembers she is still holding his book and hands it over:: Shinar: I see, so his orders are simple, which makes him even more dangerous

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CEO: I'm having the main computer single out the specific energy signal that will hopefully allow us to get a lock onto the alien. Is there anything new?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Lights up the putrid stick:: CSO: If you say so ...

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Sighs, he glances at the device in silence:: *CSO* What is your current situation?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Takes the book:: CSO: Surprised you didn't look at it. The last Starfleet officers couldn't resist.

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
CSO:  Maor wanted me to get this to you.  I believe it is the program for the probe so we can get our subspace signal out.  ::offer her the chip::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CIV*In 15 minutes or so I may be able to get a lock on the gauntlet. If my olan fails, I am as I were when you left

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: A rift opens in mid air in Main Engineering.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: From it, Captain Harison and Timrok [who had gotten silent] are thrown & hit the ground.

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> OOF!

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CEO: Thank you, can you start setting it up? I'll take care of the message

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Glances at Raythan:: Raythan: Can you continue this?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CIV: Yes.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::shrugs::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Exits the lift and comes to the ground with a thud, spinning his chane::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Stares ... the stick falling from his mouth::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::hits the ground and emits a grunt::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
Shinar: I am not in the habit of peering into other people's business. ::Stares at the rift that just opened::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> CSO: Whatever ... how about initiating your plan now?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> Shinar: Ready to die Traveler?

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Nods, he glances back at Shane and then back at the CMO:: CMO: I'll contact you in a few to check up on you. ::Nods and rushes away::

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> ::Grits teeth and rushes Muertoc::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::looks at the computer, inputting some information hoping it will make the process faster::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Dephases himself so Timrok passes right through::

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::moves to a console and loads the chip::

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> ::Goes right through Muertoc, and trips over Hunter's favorite chair::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::whispers:: CEO: Send an SOS as soon as you can in the most frequencies possible

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Spinning his blade, he approaches Shinar::

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
CSO:  Doing so now  ::begins broadcasting on all availably frequencies::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
*CSO* Did the CEO arrive there?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::uses what the computer has compiled so far and tries to get a lock on the gauntlet::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CIV*Yes he did, and so did the alien. We are trying to get a message out now

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::sits up.. ribs feeling better.. looks at Shane:: 

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Smiles at his mom who is looking better::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CMO: There, that about does it ... although I don't want you running around ...

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::picks up a phaser and aims at Muertoc's weapon and fires::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Phases just in time for the phaser blast to catch his blade which is cut in half::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
*CSO* The alien is there? ::Frowns:: I'm on my way.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: One half of the blade stabs the ground right next to Timrok's face.

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> Lovely.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
MO: that’s good.. i can deal with the rest of it till we get more supplies.. the rest of the crew is going to need this equipment at this rate.. ::sits up and checks her sides for bone alignment::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Cheers:: Nice shot Captain!

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Growls, and turns to Harison::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
*CIV*If you get here in time ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Hugs his mother::

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
CSO:  distress call being broadcast now

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
Self: Just four minutes more ....

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Stands behind the CSO, he narrows his eyes and frowns:: CSO: You don't have to worry about that.. ::Walks towards the alien::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::barely nods to the CEO::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::slowly backs away:: Muertoc: I don't know what he did, but you’re not getting him while he's here.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> CO: Ignorant fool! You have no idea what he is capable of! He must be dealt with!

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::clenches her teeth:: Shane: easy dear.. I'm still tender.. come on.. me and you can go to deck 11 and get some more stuff from the replicators.. and so dinner.. you hungry?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CIV: We just need a few more minutes ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shinar> ::Waves the diary in his hand at the being:: Muertoc: Oh shaddup.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Nods his head:: CMO: Yeah.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
MO: you up for a climb?

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Muertoc: You still haven’t told me what he's done.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> CO: Temporal crimes. Multi-dimensional murder ...

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Muertoc: You show up on my ship, swinging a weapon and threatening to kill someone, and I'm supposed to let you.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> ::Stretches:: CMO: I think I can make it ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> CO: It does not matter if it is your ship or your homeworld. You have no power here ...

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Muertoc: Do you have proof?

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> CO: I do not need proof. ::Grabs him up by the scruff of his uniform:: If I have to kill you all to get to him, I will.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::nods and leads Shane and the MO to the JT's:: MO: it's a few decks down.. there is a small fusion generator powering those 2 replicators.. assuming the are still functioning.. we need to replicate medical supplies.. and food..

Host FM_Selan says:
<Ens. Raythan> CMO: Sounds like a plan, ma'am.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::a bit alloud::Self:20 seconds ...

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Raises his phaser, he snarls and glances up:: Muertoc: I suggest you'll drop him.. Now.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::enters the JT with Shane piggy backing the ride and heads down::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Turns to the CIV, with the CO in hand:: CIV: And you think your weapon will work?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::glances at the diary left there by Shinar, noticing he is nowhere to be seen:;

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Gestures to behind them:: ALL: See, he has even abandoned you. A coward to the end. Fools.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Muertoc> ::Throws the CO into the CIV::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
Self: Got it! 

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Muertoc: Then who would be the murderer?  ::is thrown and goes flying into the CIV::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::climbs out onto deck 11 and sets Shane down.. then waits for Leia and starts heading toward the replicators around the corner::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Shakes his head:: Muertoc: Maybe not, but I'm willing to bet something wil.. ::Goes silent as his eyes widen at the sight of the Captain, with a yelp he steps back and catches the Captain::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::maintains the gauntlet's signal in the transporter buffer, not materializing just yet::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Muertoc suddenly vanishes in a transporter beam.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::He places the Captain down and glances back:: CO: Captain, orders?

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::stands back up:: CSO: What happened?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is a weird screaming sound heard throughout the ship ... "Yoooooouuuuuuu fooooooolsssss .... you haaaaavvveeeeee noooooooo ideeaaaa ..." and then the screaming ends. Muertoc has discorporated back to whatever universe he came from. A moment later, his gauntlet appears on the ground in Main Engineering, smoking.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::has a seat in front of the replicator on the floor that’s littered with parts and chips.. turns bother replicators to active and orders up some hot chocolate::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Hears Muertoc's screaming, but is not startled::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CO: I took away the gauntlet, so he couldn't be stab in our realm any more. He left

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::looks up and then at the MO::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
::walks over to the gauntlet and examines it, making sure it is safe before picking it up::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The gauntlet is warm to the CO's touch.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CO: Shinar on the other hand I have no idea where he gone to ::picks up the book he left on the console::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::hands the MO the hot chocolate:: 

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
MO: well does it smell right?

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
CO:  Sir I have a starship on the sensors.  It is the U.S.S Bonaventure

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CTO: Find him.  Bring him to main engineering.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::uses internal sensors to search for the Vulcan’s life signs::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
CEO: Can you open a channel?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: As the crew deals with the aftermath of Muertoc's leaving, a shuttle debarks from the Elara and rushes away at full impulse ... Shinar, dealing with small air onboard ... smiles.

Host FM_Selan says:
<CTO Timrok> CO: Aye, sir. ::Leaves::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
CO: He is no where on sensors. His shuttle is gone too

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::opens a channel with the Bonaventure::  CO:  Open now sir.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::replicates some medical supplies and then a hot meal for each of them::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
MO: now if I can just get deck 17 hot wired.. I can get a bath.. 

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: On Deck 11, the CMO, MO & Shane can see a Galaxy Class Starship dropping out of warp and approaching.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
CO: Captain, I suggest we'll inform the Bonaventure to capture his shuttle.

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
*ALL*: SHIP! there's a SHIP!

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::smiles:: *CMO*We can see it. Good timing too

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::drops what she is eating and goes to the window::

Host FM_Selan says:
<Captain DiAlgoy> @ COM: Elara: Federation starship, we have detected your distress call. This is Captain DiAlgoy of the U.S.S. Bonaventure, how can we assist you? ::His crew looking at the state of the Elara in shock::

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
::brings Shane over so he can see the pretty white ship out the window::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
COM: Bonaventure: Captain DiAlgoy, I'm Captain Harison of the Starship Elara.  We could use a tow....

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> ::Smiles:: CMO: That ship's prettier than ours ... ours is green. Will ours look like theirs soon?

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
Shane: i don't know.. it use to look like that.. but we will get a new ship

Host FM_Selan says:
<Captain DiAlgoy> @ ::Momentary silence:: COM: Elara: Elara? We were under the impression you had been destroyed ...

Host FM_Selan says:
<Shane> CMO: Oh ... I hope not. I like the Elara. I just wish she were painted diff' ...

CMO_Lt_Zaris says:
Shane: maybe we can arrange that.. ::goes to get her dinner and sits back at the window::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gomes says:
::takes a deep breathe and smiles:: Self: It is finally over ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Atrides says:
::lets out a large sigh of relief glad that the end is finally in sight::

Host CO_Capt_Harison says:
Self: So were we.  COM: Bonaventure: I know, it's a long story Captain.  Right now were in bad shape.

Host FM_Selan says:
<Captain DiAlgoy> @ COM: Elara: Understood. I look forward to hearing it. We'll have you under tow momentarily. I have engineering and medical crews standing by to assist ...

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: As we fade out on the ending of one journey for the Elara crew, we come back to the present ... two weeks later ... on Luna Negra where Shinar is finishing his tale.

Host FM_Selan says:
SHINAR'S NARRATION: So, I turned tail and ran ... don't look at me like that, I had no other choice. It was that or die. Turns out they won in the end anyways. Got picked up by one of their own ships and went home merrily. Everyone wins. No one looses. Justice for all and all that rot.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Shinar takes a sip of his drink, "Well, I suppose unless you're Muertoc, eh? Heh heh." He nods to his companion, "So, any stories from you?" We turn to see who he has been telling the story to, and it is Morosea Da who is nursing her own drink, "Yeah ... you could say that ..."

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Flashing to somewhere else, we turn to see the home of the oracle ... computer screens monitoring various Starfleet operations. We turn about slowly to see a sleeping Sarah resting beside her keypad, having fallen asleep while monitoring things.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, one screen begins beeping and reporting something ... and then another ... and then another ... and another ...

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... the beeping causes pictures to start showing up, members of the Elara crew ... the battered and re-painted Elara itself ... more images ... Sarah wakes up with a start, rubbing her eyes.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Sarah, "What the he ..." she stops and sees the images. "Oh my god ... they're alive ..." tears begin to form, and she leaps up and shouts, "They're alive. Oh God, they’re alive … they didn’t die … they didn’t die …” and then, lost in her tears of joy, the quite tired Sarah, otherwise known as the oracle, rests her head … and falls asleep once again …

Zachary Marshall has never been so angry in his life. 

Not only has his own private offices been violated … not only have certain personal data files been stolen … but Starfleet security has proved to be incompetent in the matter. No … he stops himself … not incompetent, just lazy in the investigation. Someone or something broke into his office and took the files, someone with their own agenda. Somehow they got past all the Starfleet Intelligence defenses … somehow they got past all the guards he had put up to prevent something like this from happening.

“What exactly does ‘the future is now’ mean anyway?” he murmurs to himself as he walks around the completely empty office which used to be his. After the break-in weeks prior, he had his office moved elsewhere … the violation heavy on his being. He couldn’t find himself able to work there again. When the cleaning services had asked if he wanted the ‘spray-paint’ that displayed the message which he has been trying to understand removed … he said no. Almost as if he feared he would forget it if it were removed. So now, late at night, he finds himself walking around the empty room … gently brushing his hand up against the walls, trying to understand what ‘the future is now’ means.  

He is shaken from his thoughts by a gentle knocking at the opened doorway, turning he is not entirely surprised to find his assistant … a quiet-spoken Ullian named Jakob, standing there. “Yes, Jakob?” Marshall starts, turning to the elder man whose hands are clasped in front of him. “I thought I would find you here, sir,” Jakob states as he steps forward. “There is news from the Third Fleet that I thought you would find interesting.” 

Marshall nods, “Yes, the Elara … it wasn’t destroyed during the entire mess Command tried to ‘deal’ with … how fortunate. Mr. Maor had the possibility to be a quite efficient Intelligence agent … if only he would cut his ties with that vessel …” Jakob nods, “I don’t see that as a problem. The Elara’s senior crew have been brought back to Earth for debriefing while their ship was sent to Nesrun for extensive refit and repair. From what I have heard, a good portion of their senior crew have either transferred or left the Fleet, for reasons unexplained. The other survivors, forty-two in total … twenty-three of which had been used as slave labor by the Gamleasians … have been reassigned.”

“Oof … and considering 90% of their crew was slaughtered by the Bellicose … not looking good. Think they’ll actually go through the refit?” Marshall adds … perhaps with a slight sneer? If so, Jakob chooses not to notice, “Most likely, sir. While production of Nebula Class explorers has not halted, they will not toss aside a vessel that could easily be utilized.” “Come now, Jakob, what is the purpose of this report, what does it have to do with Mr. Maor?” Marshall inquires. Jakob nods, realizing he detoured from the original point of the conversation, “His assignment, Mr. Pazoski, and I might add, his wife Kezia Pazoski, have resigned for the time being … perhaps taken a leave of absence, the information hasn’t fully come out. We’re already monitoring his movements, but not extensively. Earlier reports have suggested that he doesn’t pose a threat. Additionally, one Mireille Ruskinara, who was apparently in a relationship with Maor, debarked from the ship prior to its return to this area of space. Essentially, all but one of his ties to the ship has been removed.”

Marshall considers this … “Who is his last tie?”

Jakob states matter of factly, “His son.”

Marshall gives Jakob a blank look.
