Randi:
TIO:  Whatever you want ::turning to look at Mara::  I guess we can pass for sisters!

CTO_Ayidee:
Randi/ Mara/ Dvari: How do you walk in these things?  These shoes are aweful.

CMO_McDonald:
@CNS: Except for a couple people ::smiles::

Randi:
::grabs for Tio::  TIO: Are you all right?

CEO_Woo:
::in a rather bland tone of voice:: CO: Hrm... what did you say, Captain? Turbolift: Transporter room.

CSO_Hewitt:
::hides her smile:: Randi: You two need help?

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@::watches as the Eo's skin turns red etc.:: EO: Alright.

Randi:
TIO:  It takes practice, just go slowly, like you are tired... that ought to work!

CTO_Ayidee:
Randi: Its substantially different.  I've always had a strong sense of balance.

EO_Jones:
@::looks at her new face as the MO finishes:: Self:  wow ... I'm red ...

Randi:
TIO:  But you are used to having your tail help you...

CO_Adamson:
::just grins and feels the TL move.:: CEO We are going to be about a km outside the village.  So we shouldn't be too long on the road.

CTO_Ayidee:
Randi:  Injury.  Hit my foot with an axe while working.  It should cover most of the questions.

CMO_McDonald:
::walks over to the MO:: Mira: We'll I think we're the only two left. I'll get you done first then you can work on me. Deal>

Randi:
::looks back over her shoulder::  Dvari:  You better hurry up...

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@CMO: Deal.

Dvari:
Randi: Coming dear.

CNS_Varesh:
@::sits on a vacant biobed, and waits::

EO_Jones:
MO:  I'll meet you in the transporter room when your ready.  ::leaves sickbay and goes to get what she'll need for the mission::

CMO_McDonald:
@MO: Hope up on the biobed then and lie down::

Randi:
::walking into the town with her new "family" she notices that it is empty::  ALL:  I wonder where everyone is?

CO_Adamson:
@::feels the TL stop and gets out and heads for the TR.::

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari/ Randi/ CSO: Where is everyone?  I thought they said this town was heavily populated?

CMO_McDonald:
@::looks over at Varesh:: CNS: V, you wanna give me a hand.

CIV_Williams:
@::Notices that the Ens Prasosh has not shown up yet, steps on to the transporter pad without him::

CEO_Woo:
CO: I see... well, this will certainly be interesting ::starts scratching his face; itches like crazy; exits turbolift, following the captain::

CSO_Hewitt:
::wonders where they are::

Randi:
ALL:  Perhaps we should spread out and see if we can find someone?

CIV_Williams:
@TR Chief: Energise.

CTO_Ayidee:
::Tries to sniff the air, then realizes he can't smell like he used to.::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@::Gets on the biobed and lays down::

CNS_Varesh:
@::gets up again and walks over:: CMO: Wave the dermal regenerator around?

TR_Chief:
::energises::

Dvari:
:;looks around:: Randi/Tio: Must all be away on vacation. ::smiles::

CO_Adamson:
@CEO:  That it is.  Should be a great adventure.  This is why we are out here.

CTO_Ayidee:
Randi: Pairs.  I don't want any of us alone.  Something isn't right here.

CO_Adamson:
@::enters the TR.:: Chief:  Everything ready ?

Randi:
TIO: Ok, who do you want to go with me?

CMO_McDonald:
@CNS: thats soon. ::Goes to work on Mira:: within a short time of about 10 minutes gets Mira finished up::

TR_Chief:
CO:  Aye Ma'am.  Everything has been beamed down except the two of you.  Ready when you are.

CNS_Varesh:
@::helps Lennier with some of the stuff::

CIV_Williams:
::Materializes in an out of the way place, and looks around::

EO_Jones:
@::arrives in the TR and waits for the MO to join her::

CTO_Ayidee:
Randi/ Mara: Why don't the two of you take the East side.  Dvari and I will take the West.

CEO_Woo:
@::steps onto pad, feeling his pockets for his tricorder::

CO_Adamson:
@::climbs onto the transporter pad.::

Randi:
TIO:  Ok.

Randi:
Mara:  Let's go.

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@::tries to keep still::

CMO_McDonald:
@::pokes Mira:: MO: Mira your done.

Dvari:
TIO: After you dear. ::winks over at the girls::

CIV_Williams:
::Glad to see he is alone, hopes that his costume is appropriate and starts off::

CTO_Ayidee:
::Heads west with Dvari, peering in the windows.::

CO_Adamson:
Chief:  Initiate transport.

Randi:
::walks to the other side of the street with Mara, and begins peeking in windows::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@::gets off the biobed, wondering what she looks like:: CMO: Good. now your turn to lay down.

Randi:
Mara:  Do you see anything in there?

TR_Chief:
::energises::

CEO_Woo:
@::takes one last breath of starship filtered air; watches as he dematerializes::

Randi:
::wipes the glass with the sleeve of her blouse::

Dvari:
TIO: This is very strange indeed. Not a soul in sight, not even an animal.

CMO_McDonald:
@::gets up on the biobed and lays down:: MO: Mira be Gentle with me okie?

CNS_Varesh:
@::hands instruments to Mira as she needs them::

CSO_Hewitt:
::follows Randi::Randi: There nothing in there.

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@CMO: I promise. ::Grins::

CO_Adamson:
::Materializes on the planet.  Before her a cart and horse full of stuff.::  CEO:  I hope you know how to drive this.

Randi:
Mara:  Do you think we should go inside, just to be sure ::feeling in her belt for the knife she brought::

CMO_McDonald:
@CNS: V, watch her please. I don't like that evil grin::

CNS_Varesh:
@CMO: Would I let her do anything to you? ::matches Mira's grin::

Dvari:
::walks along peering in windows::

CTO_Ayidee:
::Slips cover back on axe head, revealing Tricorder.  Begins scanning.::  Dvari: And its organized.  Looks like they planned there departure.

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@::can't help but laugh at the counselor, but watches as the pimentation in the doctor's face starts changing::

CEO_Woo:
::rematerializes next to a dirt road; he looks around, and spies a horse and cart:: Self: Oh, no... CO: No, captain. ::climbs aboard the cart, tries to locate some sort of rein::

CO_Adamson:
::goes over and checks out the cart.::

CIV_Williams:
::Pulls out his holy book, and desretely scans the area with it::

CMO_McDonald:
@::Gets very nervous:: MO/CNS: lets get this show on the road shall we.

Randi:
Mara:  Everything is here... I wonder where they went to?

Dvari:
::lifts her robe and runs her tricorder over an area::

CNS_Varesh:
@CMO: Aye, sir... ::nods to Mira::

CSO_Hewitt:
Randi: sounds alright to me.....::takes out her tricorder and begin scan::

CO_Adamson:
::stops and turns to Woo.:: CEO:  You know Lt, you used to be more talkative, have I done something ?  Oh and call me Chloe.  Capt just raises suspicions.

Randi:
Mara:  Does your tricorder pick up anything?

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@::Watches it finish up:: CMO: Okay you're done.

CTO_Ayidee:
::Notices a building that is labelled Town hall.::  Dvari: Lets try that, should find something there.

Dvari:
::follows Tio::

CSO_Hewitt:
Randi: I can't find anything...........::continues to scan::

Randi:
::reaches into her bag and turns on her tricorder, no life signs appear on the display::

CNS_Varesh:
@MO: Mira, don't you think it would have been interesting to see him in a nice vivid magenta?

CO_Adamson:
::Climbs onto the cart beside Eric::

CIV_Williams:
::whispers:: Com: XO: Williams to Richmond, I am not detecting any signs of life in my imediate vicinity.

EO_Jones:
@::idly chatting to the transporter chief as she waits for the MO::

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: Keep in telepathic contact with Mara and Randi.  I want to be discreet, but informed.

CEO_Woo:
CO: No, you have not done anything wrong... but if you don't mind, I'd prefer calling you captain nevertheless... ::clears throat, picks up the reins:: Protocol is made to be adhered to.

Dvari:
::stands in front of the big doors:: TIO: Well do we go in?

CMO_McDonald:
@MO: thank you Lt. ALL: now lets get down there and to our teams..

Randi:
::taps a decorative button on her blouse::  *TIO*:  We are not picking up any life signs over here, how about yall?

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@::laughs:: CNS: I think he can do that himself if you embarras him enough, haeds off for the transporter room::

Dvari:
TIO: Understood.

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* Acknowledged.  We don't read anything either.  We'll keep you posted.

CNS_Varesh:
@::nods at Lennier and then laughs as he follows them to theTR::

CO_Adamson:
CEO:  I understand that, but here protocol is you don't call me Capt.  It could compromise our position.

CSO_Hewitt:
::walks back outside and scan for anything large building or shrine::

CMO_McDonald:
@::walks to the TR with the other two:: grumbles:: ALL: I hope you didn't make me look too hideous!

CO_Adamson:
::feels the cart move.::

CIV_Williams:
::whispers:: *XO* This is supposed to be an inhabited planet isn't it.

CNS_Varesh:
@CMO:: Would I do that? ::puts on an innocent face::

CTO_Ayidee:
::Opens door and enters.::  *Randi*: Nothing here, keep contact limited to Telepathic when possible, through Dvari.  I want to keep discreet.

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* My sentiments exactly.  There are currently just sparce readings right now, although they all seem to be on the move.

Randi:
~~~~Dvari:  Tell him I understand, but we have nothing on scans over here.~~~~

CMO_McDonald:
@CNS: Varesh, remember I know you rather well... ::chuckles:: arrives at the TR::

CEO_Woo:
::face turns red slightly, more so than his face was already; tugs on the reins slightly, and coaxes the horse to start moving forward, gradually accelerating.:: CO: Very well... Chloe. ::keeps his eyes forward as the horse begins to pick up speed; tries to look for a braking mechanism of some sort just in case::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
@ EO: So what relative are we looking for? ::steps on the padd::

Dvari:
~~~~Randi: Stay in telepathic link with me if you can.~~~~

CIV_Williams:
*XO* Bearing from my current coordinates?

Randi:
~~~~Dvari:  Understood, shall we keep looking?~~~~

EO_Jones:
@::sees the others arrive:: MO:  Our brother, I believe.

CO_Adamson:
::Grins:: CEO:  Eric I don't bite.

CTO_Ayidee:
::Starts running Universal Translator over records behind desk.::

Dvari:
TIO: Randi understands. They have nothing so far.

Randi:
Mara:  Anything yet on scans?

CNS_Varesh:
@CMO: Well... true. ::gets onto the pad and waits for the others:: All: Let's get this show on the road... we're late as it is.

EO_Jones:
@::gets up on the pad with the others::

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* Most of them are on the other side of the planet, George.  Although there are one or two about 6 miles from your current position.

CMO_McDonald:
@CNS: agreed. TR Chief: Energize.

Dvari:
TIO: Do you want Randi and Mara to continue looking?

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: I do not like this.  There has to be some reason they left.

CEO_Woo:
::eyes shift to glance at the captain, but then returns forward; sees buildings in the distance, and a fairly even road::

CIV_Williams:
*XO* Heading that direction

CSO_Hewitt:
Randi:: nope nothing but some large building in town..........::looks around::

Randi:
Mara:  I guess we keep looking, are you picking up any animals?

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: Have them take a wide route back this way, we'll keep looking here until they arrive and then move on.

CNS_Varesh:
::materializes on the surface:: CMO: Shall we? ::points in the general direction of the town::

Dvari:
TIO: Agreed, but what could have happened?

EO_Jones:
::materializes on the planet and looks around:: MO:  Ok, which way?

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Yes lets.

CEO_Woo:
CO: Perhaps we should pick up the pace. ::tries to coax the horse to move faster::

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* Acknowledged.

CIV_Williams:
::Wonders why on earth if they are supposed to be observing the culture someone would set them down on the oposite side of the planet as the main population::

CO_Adamson:
::sees the village ahead, but the beast is moving so slow.::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
EO: That direction I think ::Points  towards the buildings::

CIV_Williams:
::Taps a pendant on his robe:: *CO* I have a bad feeling about this

EO_Jones:
::nods:: MO:  Let's go.  ::heads off in the indicated direction::

Dvari:
~~~~Randi: Tio says to take a wide track back around to us. We'll keep looking.~~~~

CNS_Varesh:
::sets out, and reaches into his bag, turns on the tricorder, disguised as a small toolkit, to do continuous scans::

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: I don't know.  The exodus looked organized, but appears undocumented.

CIV_Williams:
::Heads in the direction the XO Indicated::

CSO_Hewitt:
::looks at scans.....::Randi: mostly farmland....compared to a native dog.

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::starts walking, absently touching her forehead::

CO_Adamson:
::Clicks her combadge in her pocket.:: *CIV*:  What is wrong ?

Randi:
Mara:  Tio wants us to make a wide sweep and head back in his direction.

CNS_Varesh:
~~~~Randi: We're finally here... what do you have to tell me?~~~~

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: what do you think?

EO_Jones:
::curiously watches the MO:: MO:  Feel a little strange?  I do too.

CO_Adamson:
CEO:  This is wierd, there is no one here, I thought scans showed a populated community.

CIV_Williams:
*CO* Life signs are almost nonexistant in this hemisphere

Randi:
~~~~V:  Our town is desserted, no one is here, but everything is in place, like they left for a meeting or something.~~~~

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
EO: Yes, I miss my ridges.

Dvari:
TIO: I'm not getting any readings of life forms at all.

CSO_Hewitt:
Randi: alright........you ready........::starts walking ::

CO_Adamson:
*CIV*:  We are running into the same thing here George.  Empty villages.

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: The place looks nice, but I'm only getting a few lifesigns where a bustling town should be.

CEO_Woo:
CO: It did.... aagh! ::frustrated, kicks the horse on the leg::

CIV_Williams:
*CO* I am making my way toward a group that the XO has spotted from orbit

EO_Jones:
MO:  And I feel strange being so ... red ::laughs::

Randi:
::follows behind Mara, checking behind them::

CNS_Varesh:
~~~~Randi: Very strange. We're getting the same thing over here.~~~~

CO_Adamson:
*CIV*:  Ok be careful, nothing is what it seems.

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Well then lets go investigate.

Randi:
~~~~V:  I don't like this V, this is not right.~~~~

CIV_Williams:
*CO* Particularly us

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::looks around and quickly pulls out her tricorder, scanning around::

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: Sure, lets. ::enters the town::

Dvari:
:;continues to look around::

CTO_Ayidee:
*CO*: Ma'am, our village appears deserted.  Organized departure, but no record as to where they are going.

CO_Adamson:
::Chuckles:: *CIV*: That is for sure.

EO_Jones:
MO:  Anything?

CEO_Woo:
::the cart speeds up as the horse starts running uncontrollably forward::

Randi:
~~~~Dvari:  We are heading back towards you.  You should be able to see us soon.~~~~

Eryn:
::hurrying along the road, sees the horse and cart:: CO: Hail and well met! Why aren't you at the temple yet?

CO_Adamson:
*CTO*:  We have the same thing....  ::Hangs onto the side.:: CEO:  Eric!  Can't you control this beast !

CSO_Hewitt:
::make her way toward the west...where CTO and Dvari are:::

Dvari:
~~~~Randi: Ok, I'll be watching for you.~~~~

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: you picking anything up empathically ?

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
EO: Nothing. ::Shakes her head::

Dvari:
TIO: The girls should be here soon.

Randi:
::keeps looking over her shoulder, thinking someone is going to sneak up on her::

CNS_Varesh:
::looks in a few windows, then takes out his tricorder and scans the area:: CMO: Nothing yet... like the town is totally deserted.

EO_Jones:
MO:  Nothing?  No life signs?  I thought these villages were meant to be populated.

CIV_Williams:
::Locks his holy book (tricorder) on the life signs the XO indicated and begins the persuit::

CEO_Woo:
::pulls frantically at the reins as the cart moves past a talking blur; tightens pull slightly, feels the horse beginning to hesitate::

Eryn:
::wonders why the group is not going to the temple::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
EO:  As did I? Did the chief beam us to the right coordinates?

CO_Adamson:
::has turned white.::

CSO_Hewitt:
Randi: Relax........We know when they will attack....if they do..

Eryn:
CO: Hey... I am running late too, can you guys give me a lift?

EO_Jones:
::gets out her own tricorder and confirms the co-ordinates:: MO:  Yes, we are at the correct co-ordinates.

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: your right. i'm not even picking up an impression here.

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: Can you sense anything, uh, empathically?

CO_Adamson:
CEO:  Stop the cart!  We hit someone...  ::looks down.::  Eryn:  Hmmmm Of course.  We seemed to have lost our way, maybe you cn get us onto the right path.

Eryn:
::runs faster::

CEO_Woo:
::pulls until the horse stops, surprisingly quickly and easily:: CO: I'm getting off this thing! We're pulling it from now on ::looks back:: Who did we hit?

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: This is not right... ::opens one of the doors and goes inside::

CO_Adamson:
CEO:  Follow her ::Points to Eryn.::

CSO_Hewitt:
Randi: We are almost there.....::continues to scan::

CIV_Williams:
::Sets a pace to catch those ahead of him::

CO_Adamson:
::Holds onto Eric so he doesn't get off.::

Randi:
::waves at Dvari to get her attention::

Dvari:
TIO: I can get a sense of many people, but it's vague.

CMO_McDonald:
::follows Varesh in::

EO_Jones:
MO:  There seems to be a concentration of people in that direction ::points away from the village::

Eryn:
CO: Oh... I am surprised you don't know your way around here. This is the time of the annual gathering, but of course you know that.

Eryn:
CO: Can I get on your cart, getting to the temple will be much faster.

Dvari:
::spots Randi and waves:: TIO: There are the girls.

CEO_Woo:
Eryn: I don't know if you want to... ::offers hand::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::makes a face::  EO: I guess we should head int hat direction then maybe::

CMO_McDonald:
*CO*: McDonald here. Me and Varesh have entered a town that appears to be deserted. will keep you apraised. McDonald out.

CO_Adamson:
::smiles:: Eryn:  That is why we are here.  Of course you can.  ::Holds out her hand...::

CO_Adamson:
::grits teeth hoping Eryn didn't hear that.::

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: Very good.  Maybe one of the inner desks has an appointment book.

CNS_Varesh:
::concentrates:: CMO: I'm getting impressions of a lot of people a distance from the town:: CMO: We need to go ::points:: that way.

CEO_Woo:
Eryn: So, lead the way... in fact, why don't you take the reins?

Eryn:
::gets up, sits down:: CO: I hope the priest doesn't kill us for being late. ::directs them to the temple::

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Varesh, be careful.

CIV_Williams:
::The exercise of treking through the forest helps keep his mind off the past month or so::

EO_Jones:
MO:  I agree.

Dvari:
TIO: Those feelings I'm getting.....they seem to be from outside the town.

Randi:
ALL:  I think we should keep going, perhaps we will run into someone on the other side of town?

CO_Adamson:
Eryn:  I'm Chloe and this is my friend Eric.  You are ?

CO_Adamson:
::moves over so Eryn can get comfortable.::

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Okay. I'm still not getting an empathic empression. maybe its beacuse i'm only half betazoid..

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::heads in the direction the EO pointed::

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: Could be... I'm also getting a bit of a sense of urgence, so lets hotfoot over there.

Dvari:
Randi: Use you senses.....are you getting any "feelings"?

EO_Jones:
::heads off with the MO::

Eryn:
CO: So, which village to you hail from?

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: alrighty then.. ::starts at a joggin pace::

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari/ Randi/ CSO: Its a start.  Head towards the group Dvari sensed.

Randi:
::stops and closes her eyes, picking up other minds::  Dvari:  Yes, I sense other people and they are in that direction ::pointing out of town::

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: I'm sorry, I'm assuming you can narrow it down.  Can you?

Dvari:
All: Now remember, their language is a bit....well.....different.

CNS_Varesh:
::sets out in the direction he pointed:: ~~~~Randi: Sweetpea, tell Tio we're heading towards a gathering of people outside the town.~~~~

CO_Adamson:
::looks at Eric.::  Eryn:  We are from the North.  Its such a small village I doubt you would have heard of it.

CMO_McDonald:
::notices varesh laggin behind:: yells out:: CNS: Varesh, come on! dont tell me your that outta shape ::chuckles::

Randi:
TIO:  Varesh just said they are nearing a gathering of people.

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: We wouldst be best to remember that....like that?

Dvari:
TIO: There, one km away....:;points in the same direction as Randi::

CIV_Williams:
::Trips over an exposed root:: Self: I am going to find the person who chose these coordinates and ::reaches down an messages his ankle slightly::

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: I was just letting Randi know where we are heading, and I want to send Chloe a message on her tricorder.

CEO_Woo:
Eryn: Indeed, it's... Thy... uh... 'tis very small indeed

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Why send a message to her?

Eryn:
CO: Oh... well, grammercy for the ride. I don't travel much. Do you?

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: Because she needs to know, and for all we know she's with some locals, that's why I don't want to comm her.

CMO_McDonald:
::sighs:: CNS: OH all right..

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* George, we've just seen a number of people disappear from our scans.

CO_Adamson:
Eryn:  Well a fair bit...  we be salespeople.  ::points to the back of the cart.::  After temple we hope to go into the village.

CIV_Williams:
::Keeps moving through the forest, even though his ankle is smarting::

CTO_Ayidee:
CSO/ Dvari/ Randi: Lets head out then and... ::Stubs toe.:: ouch!

Dvari:
TIO: Not bad, but more like thou art the truest dear heart in this fair town.

Eryn:
CO: I only travel for the gathering, but my horse came up lame, that is why I am late. Why are you late?

CNS_Varesh:
::grins, pulls out his tricorder, taps in a quick message with the information where they are going, sends it to her tricorder and smiles at him:: CMO: See... quick and effortless::

CEO_Woo:
Eryn: Very insignificant. ::Tries to see where she is leading them::

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: I wouldn't say effortless but alright. lets go ::starts off again at a steady pace::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
EO: I don't like this. What do you think?

CO_Adamson:
Eryn:  Our horse didn't want to cooperate either and we broke an axle.  You understand.

Randi:
::feels sorry for Tio's poor toes::

Dvari:
TIO: My dearest, art thou injured? :;bends down to check his foot::

CIV_Williams:
*XO* Understood, could be some tiype of shielding, where they in the same area or different locations?

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: And another thing... its wouldst seem most prudents if we laspe into the dialect of this fair planet.

Eryn:
CO: Oh aye indeed! Quite!

CSO_Hewitt:
::begin to walk in the direction of the people::

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: It tis but a bump.  I shall persevere.

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* Different locations, but only 8.  8 out of the whole planet mutst meen something.

EO_Jones:
MO:  I don't like it either ... Do you have any idea what's going on here?

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Your probably right. But when we get close to town tho.

CIV_Williams:
::Refocusses his tricorder on the group he has been following::

CO_Adamson:
::smiles and picks up a water skin and offers it to Eryn:  Eryn:  WOuld you like a drink ?

Dvari:
TIO: I pray thee, let me tend to thy wound.

Randi:
::snickers at Dvari's speech::

Randi:
Dvari:  Prither Mother, wouldst that I can help thee?

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::thinks:: EO: Could be some sacrifice, the culture report mentioned soemthigna bout that.

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: Tis unnecessary.  I need to adjust to this mode of existance is all.

Dvari:
::carefully wraps his toe in a strip of cloth:: TIO: There my Lord, it shall mend now.

CEO_Woo:
::tries to get into the act:: Eryn: However, the water, tis very costly... perhaps some coin, so that we may enjoy our livelihood?

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: Nay, my dearest friend, we shouldst be practicing now, so we won't seem like uncouth louts when we encounter the denizens of the region. ::grins at Lennier::

CIV_Williams:
*XO* Where any of the group I have been persueing effected

EO_Jones:
::nods:: MO: A religious holiday?

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* Yes, 4 people

Eryn:
CO: Indeed, please. ::accepts the wather skin::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
EO : Maybe. It's my only guess for why everyone would leave the village.

Dvari:
Randi/Mara: Girls attend thy father.

CO_Adamson:
::thwaps Eric.::  CEO:  How darest thou... tis temple day.  We Charge naught for anything.  ::pretends to be offended.::

CIV_Williams:
*XO* Have I ever told you how much I hate mysteries.

Randi:
::smiling at Dvari, she walks over to Tio's side and lends him her arm::

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: yer probably right my fair mate.. ::chuckles:: a bit.. CNS: oh that is so corny..

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* Have I ever told you how much I hate being left up here while you lot get all the action?

CNS_Varesh:
::laughs:: CMO: The cornier the better.

CSO_Hewitt:
::follows randi and take other side::

Dvari:
Mara: Attend daughter!

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Your probably right.

CIV_Williams:
*XO* I will trade places with you if you want.  Any chance you can help me close the gap with the transporters?

Eryn:
CO: ::laughs:: But you are merchants are ye not?

Dvari:
::leans over and whispers:: Mara/Randi: Thanks girls.

CTO_Ayidee:
CSO/ Dvari/ Randi: Normally I would choose to decline thoust offer of aide, but it shall make my "lame foot" story more palatable.

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: Trust me on this one... besides, it works the mind a bit. ::walks in the direction of the group of people he can sense::

XO_Richmond:
*CIV* Negative.  We can't risk exposing anything to the natives.

EO_Jones:
MO:  I guess we'd better get into the local lingo before we meet any of the locals ...

CO_Adamson:
::laughs:: Eryn:  We are, but tis a holy day, what is it the priests preach......

CMO_McDonald:
::follows the CNS::

Eryn:
CO: I thank thee for thy hospitality.

Randi:
~~~~Dvari:  I think I better keep my mouth shut as much as possible, this speech is not easy.~~~~

Randi:
Dvari:  You are welcome, my mother.

CEO_Woo:
::tips over slightly at the impact, frowns at the captain:: CO: How dareth thou.. tis a holy day, as you say, there shall be no place for violence... ::grumbles... naught?::

CO_Adamson:
Eryn:  Thee are most welcomed.

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::nods her head:: EO: Probable, dearest sister.

CO_Adamson:
::looks at Eric.::

CTO_Ayidee:
::Carefully exits the building and walks towards the gathering felt.::

CMO_McDonald:
::starts to be able to sense the crowd:: CNS: Okie now I can sense the group ahead ::starts running at a full sprint::

Eryn:
CO: The sacrifice is what will give us our sustainance, and ensure our continuance for the next year.

Dvari:
Randi/Mara/ Tio: I shall lead on...follow in my steps but keep thy eyes focused on the path ahead.

EO_Jones:
::continues walking:: MO:  Art thou thirsty yet?   ::holds out the water container::

Randi:
Dvari:  Yes my mother ::grinning at Mara::

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: Not so hasty! We should not appear too flushed! ::mutters:: Although with this skin, who can tell?

CO_Adamson:
Eryn:  Aye, that it will....  I wonder who is the sacrifice this year.

Dvari:
::walks along in front of the group::

CIV_Williams:
::Keeps moving through the forest, careful not to trip again::

CSO_Hewitt:
::nods and follows:

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
EO: Nay. ::Continues walking::

Eryn:
CO: the holy ones will look favourable upon us after this our highest of holy days for this great service that we do them honor and give thanks.

CMO_McDonald:
::slows down to a walk:: CNS: what your not up for a good run.. I find them quite relaxing.

Dvari:
::secretly runs another tricorder scan::

CO_Adamson:
Eryn:  I pray that it will be so.

CTO_Ayidee:
Mara/ Dvari/ Randi: Wouldst thy trio keep your minds open?  I dost desire as much advanced notice as is possible.

Dvari:
All: We approach the meeting place.

EO_Jones:
::takes a drink::

CNS_Varesh:
CMO: Oh, I like them too, but with our luck we'll run right into the middle of a sacrificial rite or something... literally.... Altough I'll be up to a race when this is all over.

CIV_Williams:
::Catches a glimpse of the groups ahead of him, carefully follows at a descreet distance::

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Your on..

Eryn:
CO: The sacrifice is chosen when we are all assembled.... ::remembers:: CEO: hurry... I pray we are not too late.

Randi:
Dvari:  My mother... art thou daft?  There is no one here!

CNS_Varesh:
::grins:: CMO: Well then... prepare to defend your honor in a race of the fleetest of foot.

Dvari:
All: You attention to the task at hand.

Eryn:
CO: the holy ones will guide the priests to choose those who the gods desire.

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: Ist though certain?  My eyes may be clouded, yet I see naught but open space.

CIV_Williams:
Self: What the  ::hurries toward where he last saw the group::

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: sure mate..

CO_Adamson:
Eryn:  I suspect we are not... As always, the choosen will be perfect.

CSO_Hewitt:
::looks at Randi::

Randi:
::looks around, but sees no one::

CTO_Ayidee:
::Discretely scans area for residual signs of Transporter activity.::

Local:
CIV: Ah, brother - good tidings, you are not too tardy.  Pray, enter and enjoy the service.

Randi:
Mara:  Doest thou see anyone?

CNS_Varesh:
::frowns:: CMO: Surely we should be in the place where all these people are meeting?

Dvari:
::turns to Randi:: Randi: Our hosts must be detained. Use thy senses and seek them out.

CEO_Woo:
::grumbles:: Eryn and CO: Should I kick it again... Art thou certain thou shouldst not tame this beast instead? The way is known best to thee, indeed... ::taps the horse slightly on the leg with his foot, as a reminder... the horse promptly moves forward and faster::

CSO_Hewitt:
ty sister: No I see not one.......

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: we should but it appears we aren't..

CTO_Ayidee:
Randi: Mind your manners, my daughter.

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::does anothere quick check with ehr tricorder to see how far they aree from the gathering::

CIV_Williams:
Local: I twisted my ankle on the journey, else I would have been sooner

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Scan for human life signs that should tell us where the rest of the crew are.

EO_Jones:
MO:  Sister, how much longer is our journey?

CIV_Williams:
::Wonders if there is something special he has to do to join the service::

Dvari:
TIO: My dearest. Is thy injury much improved?

Local:
CIV: Alas, a sad piece of news.  You should see a healer before the service.  That way you can truly enjoy the experience.

Randi:
ALL:  Yes my father, I do sense the others.

CNS_Varesh:
::nods and gets out his toolkit, makes sure its configured for the various races on the ship::

Dvari:
::opens her mind to the others::

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: My recent ailment has recovered.  The olde injury still remains.

Local:
CIV: But enter now...::gestures to what appears to be an empty road::

CIV_Williams:
local: Tis fine, healed well it has already, I would not want to miss the service.

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
EO: not much farther.

CEO_Woo:
::comes up upon a fruit tree of some sort; quickly extends hand to grab something to eat, his other hand holding tight on the reins::

CIV_Williams:
::Follows the road, hoping that he doesn't betray who he is by his ignorance::

Dvari:
TIO: Well shall soon sup. The eventide meal is nigh.

Randi:
ALL:  I am sensing the others in that direction my father and mother.

CNS_Varesh:
::looks at the results:: CMO: We're the only non-residents in the area.

CTO_Ayidee:
Mara/ Dvari/ Randi: I can sense naught to explain the disappearance of our hosts.

Dvari:
Randi: You may take the lead my child.

CMO_McDonald:
CNS: Where is the rest of the crew tho?

ACTION: George suddenly finds himself surrounded by people in a large mountainous region of the planet.  It would appear that there is some sort of shielding or cloak hiding the planet's temples

Randi:
::letting go she runs in the direction she senses, going further into the woods, then stops, astonished, as there is no one there::

XO_Richmond:
The people are all talking, preparing for the great Convention.  High above them, at the front, there is an altar, lit by two large torches on either side
