SUMMARY: When we last encountered our heroes, they had made some interesting discoveries: the Away team found human remains in a cavern on the planet and the shipboard crew found valuable plant life on the surface. While the question of 'who' the humans were has been answered, the problem of how they got there has yet to be answered...

CNS-McIntyre says:
Marie:  I have had enough.  I going to the Captain and ask his advice.  Something has to be done about them.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sits at the table in the mess-hall enjoying the last bites of her chicken salad.
Marie says:
CNS:  I agree Randi.  All the staff are at a loss as to what to do with them.
CNS-McIntyre says:
Marie:  Well, if he doesn't think of something, I am throwing them out an airlock, or beaming them down to the planet.  Let them terrorize the animals down there! ::grabs her padds and marches out of her office::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::On surface, at Perseid camp.::  XO: Should we wait for the next team to get here before we head out?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::sits in The Big Chair, considering how their recent discoveries could come in handy::
Marie says:
::just shakes her head and pities the storm the Captain is going to see::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: watches some of the other officers chatting and laughing as they relax ::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::stomps her way down the corridor and stops at the TL, ready to go through the door instead of waiting for it to open::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@FCO: Well since this is obviously not where OUR shuttle is, what's the next likely position?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Woops, got to into looking at the museum pieces, didn't notice they already got here.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::reads the last of the logs Q'tor had found:: XO: I'll scan again.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Climbs in shuttle and takes his seat. rechecking the modified defense systems.::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Downloads the current information and steps over to the captain.::  CO:  Sir, the report on the Perseid.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge::  CO:  I need to talk to you now... ::red faced and heads to his RR without waiting to hear his answer::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@FCO/CTO: Are we ready to go?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::takes the PADD:: CSO: Thank you--::notices the counselor::--Comman.. der... Be right back.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::hits the door and waits for it to open::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::stands and follows the CNS::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Ready as can be.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::the longer she stands at the door, the madder she gets::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods and heads back to her station to continue her studies.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@XO: Aye, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: stands and carries her tray back to the counter :: Chef: Here you go Lieutenant.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@FCO: Then lets get back on the trail
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::walks over to the door and presses the button, waiting until they're in to actually address her::
Chef says:
CEO: Thank you Commander. Sorry about not being able to use the replicators, but we need to conserve power.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain... we have a bad problem... and I mean bad!  ::follows him into his RR::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::Begins to pace::  CO:  I have 3 older children terrorizing the younger children... My staff and I are at our wits ends!
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::sits on the edge of his desk::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Chef: No problem, but I do miss my chocolate ice cream. :: laughs ::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::sighs:: CNS: Somehow, I knew this would happen..
CNS-McIntyre says:
::not letting him say anything::  CO:  I am ready to throw them out an airlock!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns and heads out of the messhall :: Self: I guess I should get back to engineering.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: Counsellor. ::indicates the couch:: Have a seat before you break something.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain... they are frightened by no one or nothing... I have never felt so helpless in my life!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::takes the shuttle directly up and gains altitude to do a decent sweeping scan for their shuttle.::
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  I can't sit Captain... and is there something here I can break?  Maybe that would make me feel better!
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::chuckles lightly:: CNS: Unfortunately, everything in here has sentimental value.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: How old are these kids?
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, if you don't do something with them, I swear, I am going to kill them myself.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: takes the turbolift to engineering thinking about what Icky is doing now, as she waits for the lift to arrive ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I wonder, if we can't find signs of the shuttle itself, what about the thing that grabbed it?  While everything here is large, those may be easier to find.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: You'll do no such thing, Counselor.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Don't bet on it Captain.  Here ::handing him the padds:: Read these!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@XO: We're airborne, scanning again now. ::looks at the controls, even though he doesn't think there was anything out there.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::takes the PADDs and reads the reports:: Self: Jesu...
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: It's worth a try
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: Have you spoken to the parents?
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, they have been terrorized as well.  They are civilians.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  This has been brewing for a while.  Being stuck in the Delta quadrant has given them that edge to plague the younger children with.  ::sighs::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: I bet it has.. and right when the kids need leaders among their own.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Their parents, had some control until we landed here.  They think they are invincible!
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@FCO:  Other than what we just found, any signs of refined metals?
 
ACTION:  @Around the shuttle it remains clear, though off in the distance birds can be seen flying high and diving into the forests to return with prey or in some cases just enjoying themselves.

CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::chews on his cheeks:: CNS: My cousin dealt with the same behavior in the Academy; it was lucky for him I was around...
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  If they keep this up Captain, I would not be surprised to hear that they physically attack someone.  Their behavior is escalating.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@XO: Not yet, sir. I'm scanning for anything that might have the size to take a shuttle, as well as the soil and other landing sites.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::thinks:: CNS: Bring them up here.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Nods and starts scanning for large avian creatures, then catches a glimpse of something below.::  XO/ FCO: I think I see, um, never mind.  I thought I saw signs of civilization down there.  Must have been glare reflection or something.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: enters engineering and heads for her office and the stack of reports that await her there ::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::doesn't tell him how close she came to knocking one on his behind::
 
ACTION:  @The smell of the CTO's favorite food wafts to him alone.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, take my word for it... you don't want all three at one time.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Glare reflection off of what?
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  In this case, I think separation from each other would work better.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: What's out here to reflect?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO/ FCO: Do you smell that?  Something smells like Burta pie. 
XO: Not sure, but for a second, I thought I saw what looked like a farm.  Must have been the panel reflecting off of the viewport.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: It might, but I'd rather deal with all of them at once... besides, it's a small ship; without getting Security involved, there's no way we'll be able to keep them apart twenty-four hours a day.
 
ACTION:  On the bridge alone, the lights dim slightly before returning to normal.

XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Burta Pie?
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Captain, I think it is going to take security to get them up here!
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::ponders:: CNS: Can you get me the ringleader?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up curiously, then turns back to her work.::
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Sure I can... ::tries not to grin at the idea::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Maybe we should check out your 'farm'.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: It's an Andorian food, I used to eat like 4 a day when I first left Andor.  Something smells just like them here.  Can't you smell it?  Kinda sweet.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: All right, I'll work with him first.. maybe he can talk his buddies into behaving properly.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  With your permission, I will go and get him now.  His name is Matthew James.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::just shakes his head and keeps on flying the shuttle.::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: Sounds like a plan.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: I don't smell anything Commander
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I would, but there's nothing there.  Nothing on sensors, and where I thought I saw it, it's now just a forest.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::nodding to him, she goes out the RR and onto the bridge, heading for the TL::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*:  Commander, I have your diamond if you would like it back.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::as the TL doors close, Randi begins to grin in earnest... she will enjoy getting Matthew to the Captain's RR::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::turns back to the PADDs and pulls up as much information as he can on the James kid::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Mark that location.  We may decide to take a closer look after we've retrieved our shuttle.
 
ACTION:  OPS simply records the incident and forwards it to engineering.

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Marie:  Any chance you know where Matthew James is?~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Shakes head.::  XO: It's pretty strong.   Anyway, location marked.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CSO*: My diamond?
Marie says:
~~~: CNS:  As a matter of fact I do... right here in this office.~~~
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*:  Yes, it was given to me to look over.  I thought you might like it back to keep safe for now. If not, I will have further studies done on it in the lab.
CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Marie:  Lock the door if necessary but keep him there until I can get there.  I am on my way.~~~
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Klingons have a fairly well developed sense of smell Commander, and I don't smell anything out of the ordinary.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::notes the place on the map and keeps the search going::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::begins to rub her hands together, hoping he tries to put up a fight::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@FCO: Do you smell it?  I can't believe I'm the only one who smells it.  It's not like I have a well developed nasal sense.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sits up straight in her chair :: *CSO*: I didn't know that we were allowed to keep such things Commander, but if you are finished with it I would like it back as a souvenier.
 
ACTION:  @The shuttle flies around and about a relatively large mountain that was once a vulcanoe.  There are many openings of various sizes throughout it, not unlike Swiss cheese.

XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::Looks at the FCO to see his reaction::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*:  I see no reason not. I am not familiar with such regs.  If they do exist, I am in big trouble myself.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sees a report come in from the bridge :: Self: Oh great, another problem.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I think that I need to refine my search idea.  I'm getting like 340 avian creatures larger than a shuttle within 10 kilometers.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@CTO: I think I have a touch of flu, I don't smell anything.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::exiting the TL, she goes to her office, surprised to see the door shut, but hears Matthew threatening Marie::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CSO*: I'm sorry Commander, in trouble?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@XO: Sir, we're inside what appears an extinct volcano... lots of openings in the walls.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*:  I have quite a collection of stones from around the universe.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@FCO: Still no sign of our shuttle?
CNS-McIntyre says:
::placing her palm on the door reader, she enters Marie's office and sees Matthew towering over Marie, who is seated at her desk::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@XO: None that I can find, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles to herself :: *CSO*: Ah I see. Well then, please have the stone sent to my office in engineering when you get a chance.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO/ FCO: I can't believe I'm the only one who can smell it.  ::Sniffs deep.::  Great, now I'm going to need to use my Replicator rations on a pie when we get back.
CNS-McIntyre says:
Matthew:  Back yourself up if you would like to continue standing.  ::hoping he will challenge her::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@FCO: You think we'll need to go into those caves and take a closer look?
Matthew says:
CNS:  Yeah, what do YOU think you are going to do if I don't Ms. Shrink?  ::said in a taunting voice::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CEO*:  Will do.  It should be there shortly.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Perhaps it is some sort of stress.  When we return to the Huron make an appointment to see the Counselor.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns her attentions back to the bridge report ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I'd rather just replicate a pie.  Uh, Sir.  I'm sure it's nothing, Sir.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Motions over an ensign and hands the stone over with his instructions.  As he walks away, the lights seem to bounce off it making it glow.::
CNS-McIntyre says:
Matthew:  Let's put it this way... when I was first assigned to the Huron, it was as the TO in security.  Would you like me to show you what I can do?  ::shifting slightly putting her weight on the balls of her feet::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::just looks at the CTO warily::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Self: The lights dimmed? I wonder if there's a problem with the relays again? :: checks for the diagnostic readings ::
Matthew says:
CNS:  Oh yeah, like I am shivering from fright.  Let's just see what you have Ms. Shrink! ::turning quickly, hoping to take her by surprise, he swings out with his left fist::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@FCO: Are there any signs of... nesting in any of these caves?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: gets up and heads out to the main console :: Martin: Martin, I need the bridge power consumption readings for the last hour.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::only half listens to the conversation in the shuttle.:: XO: I'm scanning now.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::using her forearm to knock his intended swing away, she punches him in the solar plexus, then takes his arm, throwing him over her hip.  He lands on the floor, not breathing very well::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Returning to her scans stops as she notices something odd.::  Hmmm... interesting... :: Does some more scans of the area the AT had been in earlier.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I'll also contact the Bynars, see if there was anything about the creature we can use to track.  ::Contacts the Bynars to get more exact readings on the creature.::
Martin says:
CEO: Coming right up Holly.
CNS-McIntyre says:
Matthew::  Ok Matthew, get up, show me what you are made of?  I am not much bigger than the children you have been scaring... but this person doesn't scare easy.  ::grinning down at him, she hopes he will try it again::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: takes the PADD from Martin and studies it :: Martin: Seems we've lost 5 percent of our power. Run another diagnostic to be sure.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::his face white, still gasping for breath, he pushes himself to a sitting position::  CNS:  I’m gonna tell my parents!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Thinks that the pie smell could use a touch of ale to wash it down.  Gets the readings on the creature the Bynars took and sees if that can narrow down the search parameters.::
Martin says:
CEO: On it Holly. :; begins the second run ::
CNS-McIntyre says:
Matthew:  You do just that, and while you are doing that, I will show them the video of it all.  Now, get on your feet.  You have an appointment with the Captain.
Martin says:
:: tilts his head and then scratches it :: CEO: Holly, you better take a look at this.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks over at the captains doors... it can wait.  Returns to her work.::
CNS-McIntyre says:
::watching as he struggles to his feet, she knows he will try to run, she grabs his elbow, pushing her thumb into the nerve and leads him to the door::  Marie:  COM the Captain and tell him we are on our way please.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks over to where he is and leans on the console :: Martin: What is it?
 
Action:  @Pie and a pint of ale are in front of the CTO on the console.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I'm going to...::Stops and blinks.::  OK, tell me you don't see that!  ::Points to the console.::
Marie says:
*CO*:  Captain, this is Marie.  Randi will be there shortly with Matthew James.  He "tried" to give some trouble to the wrong woman.  ::begins to laugh::  Marie out.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::sighs:: *Marie*: Thanks for the heads-up.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Of course I see that.  It's the console.
Martin says:
CEO: Look here and here :: points :: We've been experiencing a slow trickle of power loss for the past several hours, almost inperceptable until this last spike. Now the readings appear to be normal.
 
Action:  The ensign brings the CEO her stone.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::goose stepping the boy down the corridor, she leads him into the TL::  Computer:  Bridge.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*: Captain, when you have a moment, I have a few interesting things to show you.  But nothing of import at the moment.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns as someone comes up behind her :: Ensign: Yes Ensign?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Not the console, the pie and ale on the console.  ::Reaches for the pie to pick it up and show it to him.::  It's as clear as glass, I wasn't imagining the smell.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::as the TL opens, she tightens the grip on the nerve, moving to the RR doors::  CO:  Captain, I have brought you company.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
*CSO*: I can't wait to hear it.. unfortunately, it'll have to wait.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: Bring him in. ::sits behind his desk::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*:  When you have the time.
Martin says:
:: stares at the Ensign and the stone in his hand  and smiles ::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO: Commander, have you lost your..... what is that?  Do you hear that?
CNS-McIntyre says:
::opens the door and marches Matthew to the front of the Captain's desk::  CO:  Captain, I would like for you to meet Matthew James.  It seems he has stepped over that line we discussed just as I left.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: Yeah, Marie gave me a heads-up.
CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  With your permission, I will try to find the others.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::in a tone leaving no room for argument:: Matthew: Have a seat, Matt.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
CNS: Dismissed.
CNS-McIntyre says:
::Nodding she leaves the RR on the hunt for the other two::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@:: Looks around:: ALL: br'Sten?
 
ACTION: % In the cave of the lost crew, the team quickly has it dismantled and various samples collected.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: takes the stone and grins sheepishly :: Ensign: Thanks, and tell Commander Knight-Sky thank you.
Ensign says:
:: nods and leaves ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Hear what?  ::takes a small piece of the pie and eats it.::  Too bad you can't see this, it tastes as good as the Matriarch used to make.  What is it you hear, though?  My ears are usually pretty good and I can't hear a thing outside of the normal engine sounds.
Matthew says:
::looking down at the Captain, he curls up his lip::  CO:  You and your head shrinker gonna make me?  ::getting brave once more::
Martin says:
CEO: A gift from an admirer Holly? :: starts to laugh ::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@CTO:  My wife, br'Sten.  You cannot hear her laughing?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: Stand if you want, makes no difference to me. But make up your mind now.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::taps his comm-badge:: br'Sten: br'Sten is that you?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Martin: No, just something I tripped over earlier. :: leans closer :: like a certain engineering officer if he doesn't move his butt and find that trickle. :: grins ::
Matthew says:
::looks at the Captain, not expecting that kind of answer, then decides to sit::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: Good. You know how long the trip home is going to take, right?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Finishes chewing another bite and swallows.::  XO: No, I don't hear a thing.  But I guess it would be bad to drink this, otherwise both of us might start hearing things.  ::points to the ale on the console.::
Martin says:
CEO: Message received Commander. :: blushes and turns back to his diagnostics ::
 
ACTION:  @The FCO looks at the two men then with a shake of his head, continues flying around, searching.

Matthew says:
CO:  Yeah... some say 20 years.  But I don't believe it.  This has to be some kind of training exercise.  No way we are really in the Delta quadrant.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@br'Sten: Where are you? How are you able to communicate with me?
Matthew says:
::pushing the chair back, he lifts up his feet and props them on the Captain's desk::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: I'd love it to be a training exercise, but it isn't. We're stuck out here.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks back to her office noticing the snickers from her staff as they see the large diamond in her hands :: All: Back to work! You think you'd never seen a diamond before.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: Get your feet off the desk. ::pushes the kid's feet::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: The fact that we're stuck out here means three things. First, more than ever, I call the shots around here. I literally answer to no one.
Matthew says:
CO:  Hey old man!  A bit touchy aren't you?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: What do we do next?  Since we can't detect the shuttle, it must be inside one of the 'dead' areas, right?  Should we do some foot recon of them?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::ignores him:: Second, in a few years, I may need new crew, which means I'll have to draft people.. and you're getting to be about that age.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: disappears into her office and sits down rolling the stone over in her hands several times :: Self: It could be a very nice paperweight. :: rubs it gently :: It's warm, that's strange.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@br'Sten:  Tell me about Q'ten.  How does he handle a blade?
Matthew says:
::thinking he is going to find that counselor alone and beat the living crap out of her, then begins to smile::
 
ACTION:  As the CEO looks at the stone, it seems as if there is a hint of light deep within.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Takes another bite, looking at the ale.::  Self: Not a good idea, not on duty.
Matthew says:
::with Billy and Andrew's help, she won't stand a chance::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: Third, the kids you pick on will end up commissioned, so you'll have to answer to them, whether you like it or not.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@:: Nods his head:: br'Sten: He will grow into a great warrior.
Matthew says:
CO:  Don't look at me Pops!  No way I want to be in your army!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: touches the stone to her cheek briefly :: Self: Wow, that is warm. :: looks at it closely :: Hmm, looks like something inside it.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: You won't have a choice.. unless I have to confine you to the brig. You've already assaulted an officer.
 
ACTION:  @The FCO looks at the XO oddly and then asks if he wanted them to land?

CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: You think you're real mature? A big man, you wanna be treated like an adult?
Matthew says:
CO:  What Officer?  That head shrinker?  She is nothing but a woman...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Quietly checks the communications logs and the sensors, looking for any signs of incoming transmissions of any sort.::
Matthew says:
CO:  She ought to be in her quarters, cooking and cleaning for a man.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@br'Sten:  It may be sometime before I am able to return to Qo'noS.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: examines the stone again :: Self: It's a light or something, almost like a small pulsar. :: squints trying to see it more clearly ::
Host NightWind says:
FCO:  Recieving no orders, calls the ship.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::gives Matthew the evil eye and cuts him off:: Matthew: You didn't answer my question.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@br'Sten: Q'von, he is well?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*:  Sir, I am getting a call from the shuttle.  Seems as if things are out of the ordinary there.
Matthew says:
CO:  I didn't hear any question Pops!  You can put me in the brig, but you can't keep me there forever.  I know SF regulations.  I am a minor.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@:: growls a low throaty growl and smiles::
Matthew says:
::this old man thinks he can scare him, but he doesn't know me at all::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
Matthew: You keep acting this way, and it might as well be forever. What you just did comes with a two-year vacation in the Brig.
Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  @The XO moves to sit in his favorite chair at home, relaxing.
Matthew says:
::the kids shrugs his shoulders::  CO:  What do I care?  ::leering at the CO::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: is mesmerized by the light within the stone ::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
*CSO*: Out of the ordinary how?
 
ACTION: The lights in the CEO's office VERY slowly dim, but she does not notice it as it is so small.

Matthew says:
CO:  Well, you are busy, so I am gonna go.  ::standing up he heads for the RR doors::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*:  He says the first officer is talking to himself and basically ignoring him.  And the CTO seems to be eating something... he cannot see.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::bites br'Sten on the shoulder as she leans over::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::bellows in a voice he's almost never used:: Matthew: SIT DOWN!
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::locks the door::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
*CSO*: Interesting.. can you beam them to Sickbay?
Matthew says:
::ignores the CO and tries to open the locked doors::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: places the stone on her desk still staring into it ::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::growls again, a little lower, and a little throatier::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Self: Well that's weird, why would the temperature in there be exactly 15 degrees?  It's like..., wait, that's it!  I know where we are, it's Entapha Six!  We don't need to make it, it's here now.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*:  I believe so...
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::stands up::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
*CSO*: Do it, get them quarantined.
Matthew says:
::turns, looking at the CO with hatred in his eyes::  CO:  You can't keep me here!
Martin says:
:: stands in the doorway of the CEO's office :: CEO: Holly? Holly?
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::walks over to the kid and almost throws him onto the couch, fire in his eyes::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Gets a lock on the shuttle and from there on the officers.  Frowns.:: *CO*:  I can get a clear lock on the FCO, but not on the CTO and XO.  At least... it would not be wise to beam them aboard as is.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Changes the parameters of the scans.::  Self: Temperature is temperate, but with cooler spots in the caves.  Population seems to be low, no intelligent life so far, so it could be two.  This is it, it's where I want to be.
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
::pins him against the cushions::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::grabs br'Sten by the back of the head and pulls her roughly to him where he bites her lip::
Matthew says:
::looks into the CO's eyes and dares him to hit him::
CO_Cmdr_Andrews says:
*CSO*: All right, have Roz fly it in. Put the flight deck under quarantine.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*: Aye sir...
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Informs Dylan of the captains orders.::
Matthew says:
CO:  What's the matter Captain?  Afraid of a little boy? ::laughing::
 
ACTION:  @The FCO turns the shuttle around to head back to the ship.
