Host Klordy says:
Prologue: The Hayden remains in orbit and the power drain continues. On the surface the villagers are preparing for a feast and the AT has discovered that the latest communicator brought down by the Cns is no longer functional.
Host Klordy says:
<<<resume mission>>>
Host CO_SKye says:
::Having not heard from her AT, turns to the CTO:: CTO: Mr. Cutter, please join me in my Ready Room.

::Looks up from the scanners::  CO:  Yes ma’am.  ::Heads for the Ready Room::
Host CMO_Abbott says:
@::watches everyone get things ready and is unsure what to do herself::
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@::watches over the preparations for the feast, but her eyes are cast ever upwards to the sky::
Host Karen says:
::At his answer, turns and heads into her Ready Room, waiting for the CTO.::
SO_Exirus says:
::enters the bridge, adjusts his uniform after hours of studying, familiarizing himself with the mission::
CEO_Davidson says:
::gets frustrated and curses out loud:: Self: How am I ever going to get this to work!
CTO_Cutter says:
::Enters the Ready Room::  CO:  What can I do for you, Captain?
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: You had suggested someone go down to the planet.
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  ::suspicious tone::  Right.
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: I've decided to go with your suggestion.
CSO_Lys says:
@::looks up at the sun high in the sky::
FCO_Knight says:
::Taps a few commands into the helm and slides over to the scanner console on the CONN::
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@::walks over to Tnevres and stands behind him:: Tnevres: How long until the roast animal is ready?
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: I'll be going down to the planet.
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  Okay....  and the other shoe is?
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  Excuse me?  Who will be going?
SO_Exirus says:
::walks towards the ready room, seeing there is no commanding officer on the bridge; chimes for entry::
Host Tnevres says:
@::jumps at her unexpected presence::
CMO_Abbott says:
@::watches as Erran glances at her and nods with a slight smile::
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  With all due respect Captain, Starfleet regulations are clear.  Your primary concern is the ship which, in many ways, is currently under attack.  The AT should fall to the XO or the next senior officer.
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: I will be going down.  It's a matriarchal society.  Men would not be running around down there without an escort.  You can't go.  Besides, I want you to take charge here on the ship.
Host Tnevres says:
@EN: It will be ready just after dusk my... Queen ::smiles::
FCO_Knight says:
::Catches the SO in the corner of his eye and goes back to checking his readings on the orbital security satellites::
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  Matriarchal or not, your place is here.
Host Tnevres says:
@EN: I prepared it just the way you like it ... with lots of yams
Host CO_SKye says:
Door: Just a moment.
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: And you're place is to follow my orders, but that never stopped you from disagreeing.  ::Half grin.:: You can try, but you won't be able to talk me out of it, Mr. Cutter.
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  So...  you're just going to disregard the regs in this case?
CSO_Lys says:
@::having just arrived back at the village, he can smell the sweet scent of roasting meat on the wind and realizes that he is hungry, but first he needs to find his wife::
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@::nods:: Tnevres: Very well. Yams! You know I hate yams! ::swings her whip around and comes down once on his back::
SO_Exirus says:
::places his hands behind his back, clasps them, and waits... "patiently" ::
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: I'm going to do what is best for my ship......and if that means disregarding regs, then yes......but unless there is a formal complaint lodged against me, no one at SFH will be the wiser....
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@:;looks around:: Tnevres: Where is that female healer?
FCO_Knight says:
::Slides back over to the navigation section and monitors the ship's position in relation to the satellites::
Host Tnevres says:
@EN: Yes mistress.... as you say... but I thought I remembered you liked the candied yams I made for the last feast
CMO_Abbott says:
@::glances at the Queen's outburst and bites her lip, turning to look for her sister/OPS::
CEO_Davidson says:
::runs a tricorder over a communicator::
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  ::sighs::  No...  there won't be any kind of complaint.   Good luck down there Captain.  If there's nothing else?
OPS_Lys says:
@::Pacing their room, waiting for Talan's return.::
Host Tnevres says:
@EM: I do not know... would you like me to find her?
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: Thank you......You have the ship, Jayden.  ::She nods that he's dismissed.::
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@Tnevres: Enough! Find her and bring her here at once!
Host CO_SKye says:
Door: Enter.
CSO_Lys says:
@::slowly starts to make his way through the village, a few of the other men accompanying him, they talk of trivial things and Talan pays them little heed at the moment::
CTO_Cutter says:
::Walks out of the Ready Room, pausing by the SO::  SO:  Good luck with her... oh... don't try logic, it doesn't work.  ::moves out to the bridge::
Host Tnevres says:
@::turns around to go looking for the CMO and sees her... EM: There she is ::points::
SO_Exirus says:
::enters the ready room after acknowledging the CTO, stands in front of the CO's desk:: CO: Ensign Nimbus Exirus reporting for science duty captain.
CEO_Davidson says:
::looks in the database under old earth communications::
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@::motions to the doctor to approach::
CTO_Cutter says:
::Takes the center seat::  FCO:  Othello... the Captain will be beaming down to the planet.   After that, prepare to move the ship to high orbit.
CSO_Lys says:
@::as they near the hut where he and Coreena have been put, Talan makes his goodbyes to the men and steps inside the hut::
CMO_Abbott says:
@::heads for OPS tent, but stops as EN motions her over:: EN: You were looking for me?
CTO_Cutter says:
*CEO*  Mr. Davidson...  the Captain will be beaming to the planet momentarily.  How is your work on the communicator and tricorder coming?
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Transporta range, sir?
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@::calls her closer:: CMO: Yes, I have something to tell you.
Host CO_SKye says:
SO: Excellent timing actually.....You will be reporting to the CTO, the man you passed on your way in.  He can fill you in on the mission and what needs done at the moment.......Forgive me if I sound like I'm brushing you off.  I'm not.  I just have some things I need to tend to quickly.....
CTO_Cutter says:
FCO:  When we move into high orbit, we'll be out of transporter range.  I want to be barely in communications range though.
CEO_Davidson says:
*CTO*:Still working on it sir...Captain Skye might have to meet me in my office or I can meet here in Transporter Room 2
CTO_Cutter says:
*CEO*  ::dryly::  Well, she is the Captain... maybe you should go where she is, huh?
SO_Exirus says:
CO: I understand completely captain. In fact, I prefer short and simple meetings. ::nods:: Am I dismissed?
CMO_Abbott says:
@::looks to EN:: EN: Will this take long? I need to have word with my sister.
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@CMO: When the sun is just past noon, you and your people must seek shelter. A terrible hail storm is about to descend upon the village.
Host CO_SKye says:
SO: In fact you are......::Gestures to the door as she heads that way herself::
CEO_Davidson says:
*CTO*:Maybe....but....Understood. Davidson out ::sounds a little frustrated::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: I mean do you wanna move into transporta range now, so the Cap'n can beam down?
CTO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Ahhh... sorry Othello.  Let's wait till she's ready.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::looks at EN curiously:: EN: That's one heck of a weather prediction.... even for the queen. How do you know, this?
SO_Exirus says:
::exits the captain's ready room and moves towards the person referred to as the CTO:: CTO: I have made myself familiar with basic aspects of this mission. Is there anymore information I need sir, or shall I begin my duties as science officer?
CEO_Davidson says:
::stops the scroll at something called Crystal Transmitter::
CSO_Lys says:
@::entering the hut he looks for his wife who is impatiently pacing about the room::  OPS: Coreena?
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@CMO: You would have known yourselves, but I fear that your recent travels may have dulled your senses a little. ::smiles and looks over at Tnevres as he passes::
Host CO_SKye says:
::Exits the RR:: CTO: I'll be outfitting myself.....I'll let you know when I'm ready to go.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: No worries.
CTO_Cutter says:
::Looks over at the SO::  SO:  That's good Ens, but let's start with names.  I'm Jayden Cutter.  ::holds out his hand::
Host CO_SKye says:
*CEO*: How is that communicator and tricorder coming?
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  Aye ma’am.  The CEO has your toys.  He'll meet you in the transporter room.
Host OPS_Lys says:
@::Turns around::  CSO:  Where have you been... ::Stops and looks at him.::
CEO_Davidson says:
::nearly jumps out of the chair::*CO*:I have a lead on something...meet you in the transporter room.
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: Ahhh.......well you beat me to it......
Host Tnevres says:
@::smiles back and eyes the CMO warily::
Host CO_SKye says:
*CEO*: I'll be there in about ten minutes.....sooner if possible.
CTO_Cutter says:
CO:  That would be my job ma’am.  ::smiles::
CEO_Davidson says:
*CO*:Aye Ma'am
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: I'm Nimbus Exirus.
Host CO_SKye says:
CTO: You're right.....I just didn't expect you to be quite so efficient. ::As the TL doors close.::  TL: Deck 2
SO_Exirus says:
::looks at CTO's hand... and realizes despite his person preference... he has to touch him... shakes the hand::
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS: A group of the men took me out of the village for a ritual.  It was... ::he pauses searching for a word::  an experience.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::nods:: EN: That is quite possible... my sister was always better at those kinds of things.. I am more of a practical thinker.. ::shifts her weight as Tnevres gives her the evil eye, looking away as though she could care less::
CEO_Davidson says:
Computer: Replicate a Crystal Transmitter and put it inside a hand bag that the planet were in orbit around uses
OPS_Lys says:
@CSO:  What kind of a ritual?
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Welcome aboard Nimbus.  The only new info I have for you is that we've lost comms with the AT.   See if you can track them via scanners
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Also... against common sense, the CO is going down to the planet.  Keep her on scanners at all times.
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@CMO: Beware the hour comes my friend. Prepare.
CSO_Lys says:
@::takes his wife in his arms::  OPS: A ritual of belonging, or acceptance.
CEO_Davidson says:
::goes out and grabs the bag and a tricorder::*CO*:I am on my way to transporter Room 2 Captain...And I have some toys for you.
Host CO_SKye says:
::As the TL stops, she heads to her quarters and accesses the Vulcan's information replicating one of the more elaborate outfits and headpieces.::
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@::motions to Tnevres that she is going to her hut::
Host CO_SKye says:
*CEO*: I'll be down in a moment.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::nods:: EN: We will seek the appropriate shelter.
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: I still have time to plant a tracking device... or a transporter tag.
OPS_Lys says:
@::Slips her arms around him, laying her head upon his chest::  CSO:  So they accept you?  I don't need to worry they will hurt you?
FCO_Knight says:
::sets the course corrections the CTO wanted in to the flight projection protocol. Gets instant confirmation that Hayden's ready to move into transporter range::
Host CO_SKye says:
::She quickly sheds her clothes and slips into the outfit.  Realizing how cold she feels, she also replicates a cape....::
Host Tnevres says:
@::follows EN:
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Good ideas, but we've tried those.  These satellites disable them.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::moves off as Tnevres takes EN away and heads for her sister's tent::
CSO_Lys says:
@::smiles, glad to be back::  OPS: No, I don't think you have to worry about that.  So how did you keep busy while I was gone?
CEO_Davidson says:
::enters TL:: TL: Transporter Room 2.....
CTO_Cutter says:
*CO*  Let me know when you're ready and we'll move into transporter range.  Once you're down, I'm moving the ship to the edge of comms range.
SO_Exirus says:
::nods:: CTO: I see. Well... let's see if I can get anything from these scanners. ::nods and moves to his console::
CEO_Davidson says:
::enters the transporter room and awaits the captain::
Host CO_SKye says:
::Heads out of her quarters to the TL as she hears the CTO:: *CTO*:  Understood.  I'll let you know as soon as I've talked to Lt Davidson.
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@::enters her hut:: Tnevres: Warn the others, the hour is come.
Host CO_SKye says:
TL: Transporter room 2.
CTO_Cutter says:
::glances at the TL doors and shakes his head::  FCO:  Othello...  have all the Hayden CO's been such a stubborn pain in the...    neck?
OPS_Lys says:
@CSO:  I believe I exasperated the queen.  ::Pulls out the communicator::  She caught me at the end of speaking with the captain, but had no proof.  She told me many strange things.  But I told her nothing.  ::Hands over the ring::  Unfortunately, like everything else electrical, it no longer works.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::heads into OPS and CSO's tent:: OPS: Coreena? ::spies her with the CSO and pauses::... I'm sorry.. am I interrupting?
CEO_Davidson says:
Crewman: Your dismissed....::takes the transporter station::
Host CO_SKye says:
::Pulling the cloak around her a little more tightly, she exits the TL and heads for the Transporter room.::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Pain in tha neck? That's mildly puttin' it, mate. Then again, that's their prerogative.
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  No doctor.  Talan just arrived and I was giving him the defunct communicator.
SO_Exirus says:
::after working on the sensors for a moment, he notices something... unusual, worth reporting:: CTO: Sir. I'm detecting a power transmission... it's coming from the satellite... and... ::pauses and taps his console:: ...it's going to the planet.
CTO_Cutter says:
FCO:  I suppose....  but there isn't any requirement for me to like it is, is there?
Host CO_SKye says:
::As the doors slide open, she sees the CEO standing behind the controls.:: CEO: You said you have my toys?
CSO_Lys says:
@::looks at the ring:: OPS: Did you learn anything about the books?
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Can you identify it?
CEO_Davidson says:
::hands the CO a sack::
OPS_Lys says:
@CSO:  I was never given a chance.  While you went to one ritual, we were taken to a bathing one.
Host Tnevres says:
@;;runs over and rings a bell in the square indicating the weather warning::
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: Identify it how sir?
Host CO_SKye says:
CEO: So......tell me about these.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::nods and walks closer with them both, motioning for them to get closer to her, speaking in a very low voice:: OPS/CSO: Please tell me I can talk to the Captain.... there are some very strange things going on here....
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  It's function, where it's going, what it's doing.
OPS_Lys says:
@::Looks toward the door and the sound of the bell::  CMO/CSO:  What is that?
FCO_Knight says:
::smirks:: CTO: Not like it, mate. Just loathe it an' take it up the Jeffries tube.
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Captain...that sack is your transmitter. It's an old earth style Crystal Transmitter...it's very fragile and only has a short range on the surface but we should be able to pick it up I hope.
OPS_Lys says:
@::Looks back at the doctor::  CMO:  I am sorry.  It no longer works.  And what other strange things?
Host CO_SKye says:
::Takes the sac and heads over to a staff standing in the corner just as she had ordered.  The spear head built to those specs should fit the long rod.
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: I'll see what I can do sir.
Host CO_SKye says:
CEO: Not exactly what I was looking for.
SO_Exirus says:
::runs an analysis on the power transmission::
Host Tnevres says:
Action: at the sound of the bell most of the villagers duck into their huts and within seconds a massive hail storm breaks
CEO_Davidson says:
::Hands the CO a standard tricorder:: CO: Standard tricorder though Ma'am. It was a little harder to shield this. You should only use it for very short time spans. And I mean very short.
CSO_Lys says:
@::watches the hail falling from the safety of the hut:: OPS/CMO: I've never seen anything like that...
CMO_Abbott says:
@::looks up at the sound of the bell, then turns her head back to them, frowning:: OPS/CSO: You can't be serious....::lets out a sigh::... I wanted to tell the Captain about what I spoke to the Queen about... ::waves it off::... anyway... EN has just warned me about a severe hail storm that is about to hit the village...
OPS_Lys says:
CSO:  It is not normal?
CMO_Abbott says:
@CSO: Are we safe in here?
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  She is good at meteorology?
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS: Hail is pretty normal on most class m planets, but the size and quantity of this... I've never heard of anything like it.
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@::feels the air cool and pulls a shawl around her shoulders as she watches the storm::
SO_Exirus says:
::looks at results of analysis:: CTO: Sir. I have identified it as an energy transmission. However, I have not pinpointed as to where on the planet the energy is being transmitted to.
CSO_Lys says:
@CMO: The huts seems to be pretty sound, I should think we will be okay.
Host CO_SKye says:
CEO: What am I supposed to do with this?  You call this a spear head?  I don't.
Host Tnevres says:
@::enters the queens hut shaking off the effect of a few hailstones::
CMO_Abbott says:
@::nods:: OPS: I know, it struck me as odd too... she knew exactly when it was going to hit...::shakes her head:: strange kind of weather prediction if you ask me....
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: A weather grid?  We would have seen it.
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Not even the area?  I'd like to know if it's going to the village our AT is in.
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Sorry ma'am....it's the best I can do on short notice. As for the tricorder....use it only for 15 seconds at most or it will start to fail...::goes up to the controls::
CMO_Abbott says:
@::shrugs:: CSO/OPS: I have no idea how she did it...
OPS_Lys says:
@::Moves to the door to look curiously outside it for she has never seen hail before.::
SO_Exirus says:
::looks over an analysis for an estimated trajectory of the energy transmission::
CSO_Lys says:
@ CMO: So Doctor, what have you learned?
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  Where is the counselor?
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: I'll have that for you soon sir.
CMO_Abbott says:
@CSO/OPS: Anyway, that's not the best of it... ::motions them closer and speaks VERY low again:: she feels she is in danger...
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Excellent.
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Captain...be careful down there.
CMO_Abbott says:
@OPS: She is in her tent....
CSO_Lys says:
@::waits for the CMO to finish her report::
OPS_Lys says:
@::nods::  CMO: Why does she tell you this?
CEO_Davidson says:
::readies the transporter:: CO/*CTO*:Ready for transport
Host CO_SKye says:
::Sam frowns.:: CEO: Not what I wanted......You're supposed to be my miracle worker......::Sets the two things in the sac:: CEO: I won't be in communication's range then.  I'll leave these in the blind.
CTO_Cutter says:
*CEO* Stand by
CTO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Move us into transporter range
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: We will be able to pick it up...i have the frequency programmed into the computer.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::still talking low:: OPS/CSO: I have no idea... for some reason she feels she can trust me as I seem to be a "leader" of our group. She thinks that there are people watching her... getting ready to "get rid" if her if they don't like how she rules here.
Host CO_SKye says:
::Takes a spot on the transporter padd.::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Aye. ::Executes the standing orders in the helm and moves the ship into transporter range::
SO_Exirus says:
::looks over trajectory:: CTO: Sensors show a general dispersal over a 5 square meter area of a desert. I'm not going to confirm how far this desert is from the village.
Host CO_SKye says:
::Pulls out her second spear head and attaches it to the rod.::
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  What does she want us to do?
CSO_Lys says:
@CMO: Hmm, I wonder if we aren't her first distant travelers.
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Captain....I really am sorry i disappointed you.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO/*CEO*: We're in range.
CTO_Cutter says:
*CEO*  Energize when ready
Host CO_SKye says:
CEO: I know.....
OPS_Lys says:
@CSO:  Why do you say that?
CTO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Acknowledged
CEO_Davidson says:
CO: Ready?
Host CO_SKye says:
CEO: You did what you could.......Let's hope this is enough.
Host CO_SKye says:
CEO: Yes......Energize.
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Why can't you confirm the desert location in reference to the village?
CMO_Abbott says:
@OPS/CSO: I'm not sure she really wants us to do anything.. other than keep a close eye on her and anyone that we feel might be a "spy".
CEO_Davidson says:
CO:I give my life that it will be enough:: starts the transport progress::
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: Just a wild theory, but the information that the blind team found... the weather predictions... the books being kept so securely... the paranoia of being watched... 
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: I'm sorry sir. I must have misphrased my comment. What I meant to say was... I've not yet confirmed it's distance to the village.
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Roger that Nimbus.
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: Could be more than just a paranoid ruler.
OPS_Lys says:
@CSO:  The warriors did not know what books were until it was described for them.
FCO_Knight says:
::Calls up the transport detection and waits fro it to indicate the Captain's beam out completion::
CTO_Cutter says:
*CEO*  Let me know when the Captain is safely down.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::points to the CSO:: OPS/CSO: Oh yeah, that was something else too... these books... that tell of their past... she says she doesn't know where they are... funny isn't it? Of all people that would know where their history lies it would be the ruler, eh?
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  The warrior guards said she had them.
CEO_Davidson says:
*CTO*:Transport is complete....suggest we move out of here.
Host Tnevres says:
Action: the CO materializes in a cavern lit dimly by a flickering flame and sees the Vulcans
CTO_Cutter says:
*CEO*  Very well.  Report to me on the bridge
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: Something doesn't add up here.
CEO_Davidson says:
*CTO*:Aye...on my way. ::locks the console and heads for the bridge::
CMO_Abbott says:
@::shakes her head and smiles:: OPS/CSO: Well she doesn't even know how they got here....
Host Tnevres says:
@<Trakar>CO: Captain! I am relieved to see you... all of our communications and visual equipment is down along with the transporters... we are quite trapped in this hillside.
CTO_Cutter says:
*FCO*  Take us to the highest orbit you can and still maintain sensor lock and comms with the CO and the AT.
FCO_Knight says:
::Takes heed of transporter status and executes second orders in navigation and moves the Hayden into high orbit::
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: If she doesn't know where they are it may be hard for us to find them.
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  She does not know how the books came to be?  But the warriors say she has them... and she says she does not.  ::Looks at Talan::  CSO:  Do we go look for them?
Host CO_SKye says:
::Using the huge box.:: *CTO*: Don't leave orbit yet.....
CMO_Abbott says:
@::nods:: CSO/OPS: Darn straight... she even apologized for being so rough on us, said something about keeping up a "front" in front of the others...

CEO_Davidson says:
::stands by::
CTO_Cutter says:
*CO*  On our way back Captain.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::nods:: CSO: That won't be hard... she seems to want to tell me everything....
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: Coreena and I will have to start looking around and see what we can find.
Host CO_SKye says:
Trakar: Then you'll beam up to the Hayden, and I'll be beamed out of this blind.  What happened down here?   After 5 years your equipment went, kaput?
Host CO_SKye says:
<@>
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Pain in butt comment noted. ::Sighs as he reverses course back into lower orbit::
OPS_Lys says:
CSO/CMO:  Would it be logical to assume the books would be in her quarters?  And if so, we would need the doctor to keep her away from there... unless of course she is telling the truth.
Host Tnevres says:
@<Trakar> CO: Indeed... it is quite mystifying... all of our power systems seem to have failed shortly after my return
Host CO_SKye says:
@Trakar: Interesting......
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: I think you are right, that is probably the first place to look. 
SO_Exirus says:
::correlates that captain's position with the village the crew are located, compares their coordinates with that of the energy transmission::
CTO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Jay...  once we move back into a high orbit away from these satellites, I want you to tell me if the power drain lessens.  Then, your number one priority is to find a way to shield this ship from whatever those satellites are emitting.  Work with the SO.  Understood?
OPS_Lys says:
@::Looks toward the doctor to see if she agreed.::
Evaals_Nhojfo says:
@:;lies on her bed, her head feeling a little heavy::
CMO_Abbott says:
@CSO/OPS: I have no doubt that she'd want us to find them. But for fear of raising suspicion... and that servant of hers... Tnevres... he's been looking at me funny-like
Host CO_SKye says:
@*CTO*: Be on the lookout for the possibility that the drain of technology may be speeding up.  The Vulcan's will need to be beamed out of the blind and back to the Hayden.  I need beamed out of the blind.
CSO_Lys says:
@CMO: Funny how?
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO: In other words work a miracle?
CTO_Cutter says:
*CO*  Understood.  Stand by
CTO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Something like that.  But first, beam the Captain and the Vulcans back to the ship.  Sounds like the Captain wants to be somewhere else.
Host CO_SKye says:
@*CTO*: Will do.....
OPS_Lys says:
@::Considers she had never seen Tnevres laugh.  Then considers this word has another meaning.::
FCO_Knight says:
::Holds the Hayden in position and awaits further instructions::
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO: Understood Sir...::walks over to the SO:: So: Ensign Davidson...Chief Engineer
CMO_Abbott says:
@OPS/CSO: Like he's watching me.....::brightens as she remembers something::... The council... she said there was a hidden council that has the books... the "Holy Words" as she put it
CTO_Cutter says:
::sighs::  CEO:  Jay?  The Captain is waiting for you...  that's always a bad thing.
SO_Exirus says:
CEO: Ensign Nimbus Exirus. I am science officer.
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  How does one find a hidden council?
CMO_Abbott says:
@::shakes her head:: OPS/CSO: Your guess is as good as mine... she doesn't even know who makes up this council
CEO_Davidson says:
::holds up his hand and runs over to the Engineering station::*CO*:Captain....make sure your all close together...I am going to have to take you all in one shot.
CSO_Lys says:
@::his brow furrows, and for a moment it is like he is on the bridge looking over his station as some new phenomenon sprouts up::  OPS/CMO: A hidden counsel...  a cloaked vessel... or a blind?
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: Sir. Just to let you know, the energy transmission is far from the village.
OPS_Lys says:
@CSO:  The Vulcans blind?  But why would they have the book and wouldn't their being the council against the prime directive?
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO/*CO*:It's going to be tough....but I can get you all in one i think.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::raises eyebrows:: CSO: You think the blind is behind this?
Host CO_SKye says:
@*CEO*: Understood.  ::Motions them all together.::
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Thanks Nimbus.  Any luck on it's purpose?
Host CO_SKye says:
@::Makes sure she has her "goodies"::
FCO_Knight says:
::Tosses a few of his braids out of his eyes and goes back to monitoring the orbit and distance of the satellites::
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: I don't know, but I think I want to talk to Trakar.  Maybe we should try to head for the blind.
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO/*CO*:Engaging transporters....::starts the sequence::
OPS_Lys says:
@CSO:  Do you know where it is at?
CMO_Abbott says:
@::shakes her head:: CSO/OPS: I'm not sure that's such a good idea... if we're discovered... it could me death for EN... she's quite scared...
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO: Got’em! Transporter Room 2
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  But if we need this book... and if the Vulcan is involved...
CTO_Cutter says:
*CO*  Captain....  we've monitored an energy beam from one of the satellites beaming down to the planet, a long ways away from the village.  Maybe you should investigate there instead of the village?  Whatever technology there is, is likely to be using that power.
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: I did isolate its position in a remote desert. I've not yet determined any significant importance. However, there could always be a hidden base on the surface or underground... that sensors cannot detect.'
CTO_Cutter says:
*CEO*  Well done.
CMO_Abbott says:
@CSO/OPS: I wonder if this feast is one of those ceremonies she was talking about....::wonders aloud::
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Keep digging... these are the first real clues we've gotten.
CSO_Lys says:
@CMO: If Trakar is involved, we may not be safe either Doctor.  Not to mention we may be stranded.
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  What ceremony?
Host CO_SKye says:
@*CTO*: When I'm beamed back down, I'll check it out.
CTO_Cutter says:
*CO*  Exactly where are you beaming back down to?
CEO_Davidson says:
::shakes his head at the CTO:: CTO: Sir I would recommend against it.
CTO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Why is that?
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: Understood sir.
CMO_Abbott says:
@OPS/CSO: Every few months, during a lunar eclipse, the council sends word via messenger that a ceremony is about to begin.  Not sure what kind though....
Host CO_SKye says:
@*CTO*: Well.......if you are telling me that a beam was sent down to a different set of coordinates, then I'll go there......
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: Fine, then here is the plan.
OPS_Lys says:
@CMO:  If you and the counselor are there... tell them I am not... feeling well, which I am not, then Talan and I can go check out the blind.
CTO_Cutter says:
*CO*  Roger that Captain.  Advise when you're ready.
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO:I just don't think she should go back down.
FCO_Knight says:
Self: First she beams up then down. make up ya bloody min', Cap'n.
OPS_Lys says:
@::Looks at her husband to hear what he thinks.::
CTO_Cutter says:
SO:  Feed the coordinates that the beam is going to the transporter.
CTO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Not exactly a professional recommendation Jay.  Unless you have something better than that, stand by to transport.
Host CO_SKye says:
*CTO:* Send me back down to the new set of coordinates......
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: Coreena and I will head to the blind, Doctor, you and the Counselor will have the village to find out more about this council and this ceremony.  The blind isn't far, so Coreena and I should be back before morning.
CTO_Cutter says:
*CO*  Aye
CTO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Once you have the coordinates, beam the Captain down.
SO_Exirus says:
CTO: Aye sir. However... I'm not certain it would be healthy for anyone to beam down there. They're matter could be scrambled... or simply... gobbled up. ::feeds the coordinates of the beam::
CEO_Davidson says:
::readies transporters:: CTO: Aye sir....::begins transport::
CMO_Abbott says:
@::blinks and looks at Coreena:: OPS/CSO: Be careful, both of you.... there are spies all around.. It's too bad we can't create an EMH of both of you to keep here should suspicious arise.
CTO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Set the Captain down a few thousand meters away from where this beam is landing.
Host Tnevres says:
Action: the CO materializes in the middle of a desert and is immediately hit by an intense blast of heat and gusts of sand
CSO_Lys says:
@::nods::  CMO: You be careful too, if the Queen should turn on you, you will be in grave danger.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: I know some good Ambojutsu exercises that'll make ol' Cap'n pain-in-the-neck stress go 'way.
SO_Exirus says:
::sort of confused by the captain's peril::
CTO_Cutter says:
FCO:  I doubt it Othello.  Move us back out.
CMO_Abbott says:
@::grins wryly:: CSO: S'alright... I'm a warrior remember?
Host CO_SKye says:
::Being hit with the heat is about to shed her cape and decides better of it for a little while at least.::
CTO_Cutter says:
CEO:  As we move away from the satellites, monitor the power loss and tell me if it changes.
CSO_Lys says:
@::smiles:: CMO: I'll try not to forget.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Aye. Returning to high orbit.
OPS_Lys says:
@::Moves to look out the door to see if it is clear.::
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO: Aye sir....
CEO_Davidson says:
::watches the power readout::
CSO_Lys says:
@OPS/CMO: It is probably best if we sneak away now, while things are still crazy from the storm.  
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO: Sir...as we move away it's dropping slowly....
CMO_Abbott says:
@::nods:: OPS/CSO: I agree..... ::looks at Talan:: What excuse will I make up for you?
Host CO_SKye says:
::Looking around, doesn't see anything in site in any direction.::
OPS_Lys says:
@::Looks back at the others::   CSO/CMO: All is clear.  If we go, we should go now.
CTO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Good!  Now we know it's the satellites doing this...  you and SO find a way to shield this ship.  I expect an answer in the next few hours.  Snap to Mister.
Host CO_SKye says:
::Instead crouches down and looks down in the sand.  Takes her sandal and moves it back and forth over the sand.::
CSO_Lys says:
@CMO: Say Coreena decided I needed some exercise.  ::smirks as he heads out of the hut with Coreena leaving the CMO behind::
CMO_Abbott says:
@CSO/OPS: Hmm, the hail is gone now....::steps out and looks around as there is no one around::
OPS_Lys says:
@CSO:  Exercise? ::Smiles::
CEO_Davidson says:
CTO: It seems that when we get close to them it increases. Aye sir...Miracle Worker is my job remember ::smiles and walks over to the SO:: SO: Any ideas?
FCO_Knight says:
::Confirms new position with astrogation sensor readouts:: CTO: We're as far as I can get us without losing as much of coms as I can, but no guarantees that coms'll work anyhow.
CTO_Cutter says:
FCO:  Roger that Othello...  we'll have to risk it.
Host Tnevres says:
