Randi:: What? ::looks at her::

Randi:
::leans over and whispers::  SO:  Do you want to be part of the ceremony?  Get over here! and you too Mara!

Priestess_Rhyne:
All: As is our ancient tradition, now is the time for giving back for all that we have recieved.

CO_Adamson:
CTO:  And it greatly concerns me Friend.  ::whispers::  All our people here ?

Priestess_Rhyne:
All: So that our great community can continue to grow and prosper.

SO_Hansen:
::whispers back::  Randi:  Be a part?  No.  But I'm curious!

Randi:
SO: So am I, but I don't want to participate ::whispering to her::

CTO_Ayidee:
CO: Tis correct, my lady.  Methinks our next task is to ascertain the source of tither cloak.

CNS_Varesh:
CO: Methinks this place is of great mystery, and curios goings on thither.

Priestess_Rhyne:
All: Please join with me in prayer, bow your heads and raise your hearts to the heavens.

CNS_Varesh:
::bows down::

EO_Jones:
::does what the others are doing::

EO2_York:
::bows his head, trying to figure out where this power source is::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::Bows down to avoid suspicion::

Randi:
::bows her head, but continues to watch the priestess and read her thoughts::

CTO_Ayidee:
CO: Me hath been trying, albeit to no avail.  Our senses detect naught.

SO_Hansen:
::follows suit and bows her head, somewhat disappointed that she can't see as much as she could before::

CNS_Varesh:
::lets his thoughts range through the crowd, trying to pick up any information::

CSO_Hewitt:
::bows head and looks from side to side::

CO_Adamson:
::looks at Tio.:: CTO: Tis impossible...  What can cause this naturally ?

::moves his hand back to his side and pulls out his medical tricorder:: opens his mind up to let the crowds feelings wander in::

Dvari:
::wonders what Todd is up to::

CO_Adamson:
::motions for the CEO and EO2::

CMO_McDonald:
::flips it open and starts scanning::

EO2_York:
CO: yes, mi lady?

CTO_Ayidee:
CO: Unknown.  Perhaps they hast cloaked the source as well?

CEO_Woo:
::steps over to the CO:: CO: Tis what that I may help thee with?

CO_Adamson:
CEO/EO2: I'd like the two of you to take a trip outside and see if there is a power source or something to explain this phenomena... ::whispers::

EO2_York:
::Nods::

CO_Adamson:
::nods at Tio::

Priestess_Rhyne:
All: Great Ones, you whose feet are in the hosts of heaven, the embodiment of the universe, I pray thee, decend upon thy servant and priestess, give me wisdom and guidance to choose who shall be exhaulted among us, and sent to you in the stars.

Randi:
~~~~V:  Tell the Captain that I am reading sincerity from the priestess and that she believes in her Gods... and that they will provide for the population.~~~~

CEO_Woo:
CO: Yes, of course... ::glances at the EO2 and gestures to the door::

CTO_Ayidee:
CO: Inadvisable, ma'am.  It appears the entire population is within.

CMO_McDonald:
::jaw hits the floor::

Priestess_Rhyne:
::holds her arms out to receive the power of the universe::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::moves the tiniest bit faster, not liking what she just heard::

CMO_McDonald:
::looks over at the MO and nods::

EO2_York:
CO: Tio is correct...tis not worth the risk

CO_Adamson:
::looks up concerned.:: CTO:  Get everyone moving towards the exits...

SO_Hansen:
::frowns slightly when she hears the priestess's words::

Dvari:
::looks up slightly intrigued by the what the priestess is doing::

ACTION: There is silence as the congregation waits::

CNS_Varesh:
~~~~Randi: Sure.~~~~ ::leans over:: CO: My ward dost believe the Priestess is a true believer.

Randi:
~~~~V:  That sounds like human sacrifice to me... I think we should be prepared...~~~~

CEO_Woo:
::rolls eyes slightly; and returns:: Self: Why is everyone silent?

CTO_Ayidee:
CO: If thou insists, although it may well draw attention to us.

CMO_McDonald:
~~~~V: I may need your help in a few minutes with a medical problem~~~~

EO_Jones:
::quickly heads towards the others::

Randi:
~~~~V:  She has an image of a human in her mind.~~~~

Priestess_Rhyne:
::feels the rush of energy, revels in it::

CO_Adamson:
CEO/EO2:  Once outside contact the ship, have them lock onto us and for emergency beam out in case they come after us.

CNS_Varesh:
~~~~Randi: I'd hate to think that, but you may be right. CMO: Ok.~~~~

EO2_York:
::sneaks a peak off his Tricorder, the energy reading off the scale:::

Randi:
~~~~V:  I can't tell who she is thinking of, but it is definitely human sacrifice!~~~~

EO2_York:
CO: ma'am, should we get back to the Huron?

Dvari:
::gets the strangest feeling and looks over at Mara::

Randi:
~~~~Dvari:  Tell Tio to be ready, this woman has human sacrifice on her mind.~~~~

CMO_McDonald:
~~~Randi: What're you sensing?~~~~

CO_Adamson:
EO2:  Its something we may have to think about.

CNS_Varesh:
::hears the gong::

CO_Adamson:
::looks to Varesh and moves to him.::  CNS:  Tell her to get back here we are leaving.

Randi:

SO_Hansen:
::isn't quite sure what to do::

CMO_McDonald:
::continues following Chloe and pulls out a small medkit::

EO2_York:
CEO: maybe we should call the ship...?

Priestess_Rhyne:
::turns to look at the voice, scornfully::

Randi:

CNS_Varesh:
::nods to himself:: Self: Good thinking.

CNS_Varesh:

::confused as no one answers his call:: COM:Huron: Lt. Woo to Huron. Please respond.

CEO_Woo:
::shrugs at the EO2::

ACTION: There is no response to the hail

Priestess_Rhyne:
::looks icy cold:: CO: you lie. This woman is not your daughter. The gods have told me that. What is your relationship with this young woman.

ACTION: No response to the hail

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::Shakes her head:: Selff: she's gone and done it.

CO_Adamson:
Priestess:  I do not lie, she is one of mine.  Ask your gods they will tell you that.  Regardless, she is not fit for sacrifice.

Dvari:
:;pushes through to the front:: All: No, I pray thee oh great Priestess, she is my daughter. I pray thee, do not offer her to the Gods.

CNS_Varesh:
~~~~Randi: Ok.~~~~ ::moves off to the side::

CEO_Woo:
EO2: Great... ::continues looking for a power source:: EO2: Well, to add insult to injury, I am not detecting any power sources at all... how's your tricorder?

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
Self: Idiots, ::mutters::

CMO_McDonald:
::stands shoulder to shoulder with the CO not moving an inch::

EO2_York:
CEO: same sir....wonder if we could send a microburst to the ship sir using the tricorder?

CO_Adamson:
::turns and gives Dvari an icy stare::

Randi:
::moves to the side, ready to jump the priestess if necessary:: ~~~~V: Are you ready?~~~~

CSO_Hewitt:
::try to form words but can seem to say anything::

Priestess_Rhyne:
::raises eyebrow, looks rather large for her small actual size:: CO: who are you to speak for the gods!

CNS_Varesh:
~~~~Randi: Ready when you are, sweetpea~~~~

CIV_Williams:
::Slowly pushes his way around the crowd, trying to get as close as he can without attacting attention, since the others are doing a good job of that already::

EO2: I'm not sure that that would work, but it is certainly worth a try, if only to notify them

CO_Adamson:
:;taking a chance.:: Priestess:  Because I came from the stars.  ::looks her right in the eyes.::

EO_Jones:
::pushes her way to the front to join the CIV::

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::thinks, what to do::

Randi:
::reaches into her pocket with her left hand, feels to make sure her phaser in on stun::

Priestess_Rhyne:
Dvari: I do not understand. You should be pleased your daughter has been chosen. And why did this woman ::motions to co:: lie to me?

::Punches it into the Tricorder::  CEO: okay....Microburst ready

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::decides to continue heading out, maybe try contacting the ship::

CNS_Varesh:
~~~~Randi: Don't jump her unless we have to.~~~~

CO_Adamson:
Priestess:  Are you going to release her, or do I take her from you.

Priestess_Rhyne:
::is surprised at words from CO's mouth:: CO: You?

CEO_Woo:
::pauses his scan of the surroundings temporarily and shifts his attention to the modified tricorder:: EO2: Do it...

CO_Adamson:
Priestess:  Yes Me.  There is nothing you can do about it.  Release her now.

CTO_Ayidee:
Priestess: Our joy is not missing, but we hath need of her assistance.  I have been lamed, and need the assistance of both daughters.

Priestess_Rhyne:
Dvari: ::smiles warmly at her:: It is no pain to have your daughter ascend... it is an honor. She will neve know want or hunger or pain agian.

CIV_Williams:

CSO_Hewitt:
::shakes head and try to say Mother been doesn't:::

EO2_York:
::Sends a Modified Microburst to the Huron::

CO_Adamson:
::looks at both Dvari and Tio... glares for them to be quiet.::

Priestess_Rhyne:
::looks confused:: This is highly irregular.

Dvari:
Priestess: You do my house a great honour, but she is not worthy of the Gods. Her heart is wild and untamed and thou knowest that the Gods require gentleness and depth of soul. I beg theee spare her until her wild oats wither and die.

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::stumbles on the outside::

CMO_McDonald:
::wonders what the captain us up her sleeve next::

CNS_Varesh:
::stands very tense::

CO_Adamson:
Dvari:  Please leave this to me.

Priestess_Rhyne:
Dvar: The gods chose her. And yet... here is one who says 'no'? I do not understand.

CSO_Hewitt:
::first clear thought is she up at the alter:: All:: What happening?

CTO_Ayidee:
Dvari: Patience, my dear.  Our people doth need us.  We shall see her above soon enough.

CMO_McDonald:
::gets an idea::

CO_Adamson:
Priestess;  I say no because I'm from the stars.  ::Modifying her phaser, she fires a beam of light.::

Dvari:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: I can not allow thee to sacrifice thy self for my daughter.

Randi:
Priestess:  As thou can see, mine sister is a bit dense... she knoweth not the correct path.

CNS_Varesh:
::silently groans::

CO_Adamson:
Dvari:  Neither of us will be sacrificed.  I promise thee.

Randi:
::jumps, not expecting the CO to fire her weapon::

CMO_McDonald:
::grumbles at the CO's actions::

CTO_Ayidee:
CO: My ladyship, thou hast power unknown to us.  From whence did it come?

CSO_Hewitt:
::looks at the CO who fire her weapon and Randi::

CO_Adamson:
CTO:  Like I had said... From the Stars.::

Priestess_Rhyne:
::raises her voice:: I will not have this disruption at this the highest of holy days! ::is surprised to see the beam of light::

CO_Adamson:
Priestess:  Do you defy me ?

CTO_Ayidee:
CO: Ist thou one of the Gods come to show us the path to eternal light?

Priestess_Rhyne:
CO: State who you are. State it now.

Randi:
~~~~V:  This is getting out of hand, what are we gonna do?~~~~

EO_Jones:
::thinks maybe she should get out of here, fast::

CMO_McDonald:
~~~~V/Randi: Close your minds sending a mind burst to the Priestess~~~~

CO_Adamson:
Priestess:  I'm Chloe of the Stars.  How dare you question me.  Do I need my lightening bolt again.

Dvari:
::sobs uncontrolably::

CNS_Varesh:
~~~~Randi: I don't know... but if we don't get out of here soon, we're going to be in it neck deep~~~~

CTO_Ayidee:
::Watches the eyes of the crowd, looking for sign of fear or aggression.::

Priestess_Rhyne:
::bows down:: CO: Great Lady!

CO_Adamson:
Priestess:  Please release this child.  She is not worthy.

CMO_McDonald:
~~~~V/Randi: Hold off maybe she's come around~~~~

MO_LtJg_Thoren:
::Struggles against her two captors::

Priestess_Rhyne:
CO: I your humble servant, ask politely, why did the gods change their mind and who shall they choose now?

CO_Adamson:
Priestess:  The gods thought they could forgive her transgressions, but realized they couldn't.  They will send you another before the sun is high in the sky.

Dvari:
::moves next to Mara and hugs her:: CSO: It will be alright. We'll get you out of here.

CNS_Varesh:
::relaxes slightly::

SO_Hansen:
::silently watches everything going on::

EO_Jones:
::edges her way towards the exit::

Randi:
~~~~V:  Time for us to move away? ::breathes a sigh of relief, hoping this mess is over::~~~~
