<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*FCO*:  Roz, beam the XO and CTO directly to sickbay.  Do not touch them if you haven't already.  I have two bio-beds ready for them.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: thinks to herself as she sets the diamond down again :: Self: We could use more of these for trading purposes. I'll have to get a team on the remote drills right away.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::On shuttle, completely unaware of what's going on.::  Self: Boy it was hot out there today.  What am I saying?  It's hot every day.  I could use another ale.  One of these days I need to get that still working better.  More ale would be better, for sure.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::shuts off the shuttle's engines:: *CNS*: I haven't touched them, so I'll lock on and do just that. ::taps the controls to initiate the transport::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
@::Holding br'Sten in his arms, his face bleeding, and his body bruised::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::watches as the XO and CTO appear in sickbay::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Nurse:  Put containment and sterile fields around both the XO and the CTO.  We don't know what we are dealing with here.  ::looks up to check their readings from the biobed monitors::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::all vitals appear normal except the XO's, which appear elevated but not dangerouly so::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: hides the stone in her drawer and walks out to tell Martin to have a team start drilling for for stones and get them to the cargo bay.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  This is Randi, Q'tor... can you hear me?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CNS*: I'm heading up to you now. Be careful - Q'tor seemed - how can I put this - quite amorous in his fantasy.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: What was that?  Felt a tingle, oh well, must just be half asleep already.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::growls at br'Sten::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::that explains the elevated readings, smiling at Roz' statement::  *FCO*:  Understood!  I want to test you as well.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Icky, can you hear me?  ::looking at the other biobed::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::exits the shutlebay:: *CNS:* See you in a few.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten:  You look... glorious!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Commander?  Where did you come from?  Did the Huron come back?  I thought you were going on back to find the Federation?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: heads out of main engineering and into the nearest turbo-lift :: Computer, pick a direction and take me there if you please. :: giggles ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Nurse:  I want you in a sealed suit, I need blood from both of them first, then the usual tests.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Looks about.::  CNS: And why are you waiting outside?  Door's open, Holly should be home soon.
Nurse says:
CNS:  Understood.  I will get someone else to help.
Computer says:
CEO: Please specify destination.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::smiles::  CTO:  Icky, where are you right now?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Sickbay.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: pouts :: Computer: Oh just take me to Icky. :: giggles again ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Entapa Six.  We renamed the world you know.
Computer says:
CEO: There is no one by that name on the Huron.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Icky, what were you doing last in the cave?  ::nods to the nurse to draw his blood::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: pounds the wall panel :: Computer : Commander Ec`Thel`lon. Take me to his location.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Commander, can you hear me?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::exits the TL and walks to sickbay::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Cave?  I haven't been to the caves in years.  Not since we got the homes built.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Fine Icky... can you remember what you were doing then?  I know you have an excellent memory.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Looks around to see another women in his room and draws his dagger :: CNS: You dare to invade my home?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::watches as the other nurse takes blood from the XO::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Q'tor, you invited me, remember?  ::glad she is behind a force-field::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::enters sickbay as Q'tor speaks:: CNS: I'd be very careful if I were you... they are behind force-fields, right?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Last time I was in one of the caves, wow, it was when I removed the last generator.  But that's what, two years ago?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  You better believe it!  Roz, let one of the staff draw your blood and do a preliminary exam on you.  I have my hands full with these two.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: watches as the doors open :: Computer: He's here?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Commander, you have been recalled to the Huron.  Are you ready to assume your duties?
Computer says:
CEO: Commander Ec`Thel`lon is in sickbay. Please exit the turbo-lift.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: Ok, but I need to get to the bridge as soon as possible. ::goes to the other free biobed and smiles at the med tech who comes over to draw his blood::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Right Icky... was there anything at all that was unusual, other than the dead crew?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: jumps out :: Self: Sheesh! What a grump!
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Glares at the Counselor unsure of where she came from:: CNS: I have received no such recall!  How did you get in here?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, are you feeling anything odd at all?  I mean, have you been hallucinating?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Dead crew?  No one's...oh, wait!  You mean the Perseid crew?  They were being brought back to the Federation.  You all took them when you left.  What happened?  Why are you back?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  The high council transported me to your residence.  How else could I have found you?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: toddles down the corridor and enters sickbay :: CNS: Hiya Randi. I'm looking for Icky. Is he around?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: No, not at all - I just had to listen to these two.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Icky, look at the chronometer on the wall.  What does it say?
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: My home's location is no secret!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Holly, he is right here.  ::notices she seems unsteady on her feet::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten: Have the household guards executed for allowing this intruder to get by them!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CNS: Thanks. :: moves to the bio-bed ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Watch out!  There is a force-field in place!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Is the ship in trouble?   What chronometer?  Only time piece is in our computer, and we don't use it much.  No need for time on a world like this.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, I think I need your help.  ::pointing to Holly::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::listens to all this and gets more concerned, but holds still for the tech to finish the exam::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Icky? :: looks around and puts her fingers over her lips so that he doesn't say too much ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Icky, you may not believe me, but you are on the Huron.  You have been hallucinating and I am trying to discover the cause.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Holly!  You're home, did you have a good trip to the pup's farm?  ::Tries to rise.::  Oh, I must have drank more than I thought.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Looks around for whoever it is the intruder is talking too, but see's no one::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispering :: CTO: Oh I had a wonderful time but wait until you see what I found!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: That's impossible.  Look around. Does this look like the Huron?  Last I checked, the ship wasn't made of wood covered with pelts.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::sighs::  FCO:  This is NOT going to be easy.  Can you give me some help with Holly?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Winks at the tech as he turns to leave:: CNS: I was going to head to the bridge, but I can try. Another bio-bed and force-fields?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Yes... Nurse Adams will help you.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  muy'ep QIm wa'DIch yaS Q'tor.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Holly, why don't you take a seat so you can tell Ec'Thel'Ion all about your day? ::motions to the other bio-bed::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::hopes her Klingon is right::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::looks at the intruder, confused now:: CNS: You speak Klingon!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: It's ok Roz, I just want to stay here and talk.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes, you taught me!  Now First Officer... pay attention.  The ship and crew need your help.  Are you up to the task?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: But you'll be more comfortable, I promise.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Tilts his head:: CNS:  Counselor McIntyre?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Make sure you get her in that bed and the force-field and sterile field is in place.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Boy you are sure being pushy Roz. What's the matter with you?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes Sir... it is Randi.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Easier said than done. She's stubborn.~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Did they get those fences secured?  Last thing we need is another trip to gather up a herd of their "domesticated" ants.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: The Huron is here? In trouble?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes Sir... and Sir, you are part of that trouble.  I need your trust now Q'tor.  Remember what you know of me... would I tell you a lie?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Nothing's the matter, I just thought you would be tired from being on your feet all day.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks back at Icky :: CTO: I don't know about the fences Icky, but there's something inside that diamond I found. You have to come and see for yourself.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Of course not.  Contact my father, Q'von, on the High Council.  He will send ships to protect the Huron.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::turns as the med tech gets her attention::
 
ACTION:  The computer beeps to notify the CNS of the blood tests.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns to Roz and puts her hands on her hips :: FCO: Roz, will you please leave me alone with Icky for now? Aren't you supposed to be on the bridge or something?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Diamond?  Wow, haven't thought of that in years.  Is it still on the shelf above the bed?  ::Tries again to stand up.::  What is this, why can't I stand up?  I can't be that tired.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  I need you Q'tor.  Are you NOT willing to serve?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::watching the med tech as she walks over and hands her the padd... she reads then smiles::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: You have to come and see. :: looks puzzled :: Why are your antennae bent?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Yes, I should be on the bridge, but you are everybody else who have touched stuff from the planet are behaving strangely, so I need you on that biobed. I'm asking as a friend.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Roz?  You're back too?  Good to see you friend.  Is the ship all right?  Why did you come back?
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: You would question my loyalty? My Honor? Send for the ships! Together we will face whatever threatens the Huron!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::part of the symptoms the XO and the CTO are experiencing are high levels of something that is acting like alcohol::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Roz, I am perfectly fine. I just want to spend some time with Icky.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reaches for antenna.::  CEO: I...I can't move.  What's wrong with me?  I felt fine not an hour ago.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I don't know why you are here. Let me ask Randi.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Then, as a friend, I need to inject you.  I am asking your permission to do so. ::nods to the nurse to get the injection ready::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CNS: Randi, why is Icky here?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: I'm back because I was worried about all of you. ::sighs lightly as Holy replies:: Adams: Please "help" Chief Sparks onto the bio-bed.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Why would she know?  Is that why she came back?  Is there something wrong on Entapa?  We can't let the colony fail, we can't abandon paradise!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Holly, he has been infected by some agent on the planet.  I will be giving him an injection in just a moment.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: eyes the CNS suspiciously weighing her request ::  CNS: If you are who you say you are, then tell me something that only you and I would know?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at Adams as he steps closer :: Adams: Back off, or I'll make sure you're the next patient in that bed!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  You made me a special blade to carry.  ::takes it out of its sheath and shows it to him::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Steps up behind Holly as she faces Adams and injects her with a sedative:: CEO: Sorry, its for your own good.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Just pick her up and put her in the bed... the fields are ready!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CNS: He's fine, I can see that for myself. :: backs away from Roz ::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Looks closely at the small blade :: CNS: Yes, I remember that blade.  Very well.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: What are you doing?!  This is our home now, why are you after us?!  ::Struggles against the field.::  If you needed help from us you could have asked!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Then I am coming closer Q'tor, please be still, this will not hurt a big Klingon like you!  ::stepping inside the fields that are briefly shutdown, then turned on again::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sighs:: CEO: Again, my apologies. ::bodily picks her up and puts her on the bio-bed, stepping away:: Computer: Activate force-fields.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: grabs her neck :: FCO: Roz!
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: What is it that threatens the Huron?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Wait a moment for the injection to spread through your body... hopefully you will have your answer shortly.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: You can hit me for this later. ::turns to Ec'Thel'Ion:: CTO: It will all make sense later.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: groggily lays there ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::nods to the tech to lower the fields again::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::silently apologizes to Holly again:: CNS: If that is all, I should get to the bridge.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: But why?  We were friends, we just wanted to remain here, on Entapa.  There's plenty of room to share if you wanted to join us.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::stepping out of the fields, she moves next to Icky::  CTO:  I am going to give you an injection Icky... it will make you feel better.  ::nods for his fields to be lowered::
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: shakes his head in confusion as the walls of his home begin to disappear:: CNS: nuq! What have you done?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: But I feel fine!  I'm a bit tired, but I've been plowing the fields all day, that's part of life now!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::stepping next to the CTO. she injects him, then waits::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: Tell Holly I'm on the bridge if she wants to hit me.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Where are you Q'tor?  
CTO:  Icky... how are you feeling now and where are you?
 
ACTION:  Both officers start to feel the effect of the injection.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  I have a feeling she is going to hit me first!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Shakes head.::  CNS: What the, what's happening?  Our home, Entapa Six, it was all...it was so real.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Turns back to his wife as she starts fading:: br'Sten: be'nalwIj! No... don't go!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CNS: I'll treat your black eye then. I got to get to the bridge. ::leaves sickbay before more things happen::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Chicken!~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: And proud of it!~~~
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO/XO:  Gentlemen.  Can either of you tell me where you are?
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Looks around finding himself in sickbay:: CNS: Sickbay... but, what happened?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Nurse:  Please run a blood test on the CEO.  I need to see if she is infected with the same.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Sickbay on the Huron.  Are we still in orbit of Ent...uh, of the planet?  Did I imagine it all?  All two years?
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Where is br'Sten?  She was just here with me!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO/CTO:  Both of you have been infected with something that is hallucinogenic and intoxicating.   I have not discovered what that is at the moment.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  You are telling me my wife was a hallucination?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO/CTO:  It also appears that Holly is not herself.  Whatever this is, it can be airborne and/or taken in through the skin.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes Sir... and had you not had faith and believed in me, you would still be in that hallucination with your wife.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Glances over.::  CNS: What's wrong with her?  She's been on the ship for some time, while we were on the planet.  She should be safe!
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Quickly shaking off his funk and gathering his wits:: CNS: Then I suggest that the entire crew be injected
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Icky, she walked in here like she was drunk, but did not appear to be hallucinating.  As you can see, I had my hands full with the both of you.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::exits the TL on the bridge and goes to sit in the big chair, not sure what will happen when Holly catches up with him, and nothg was wrong with her in the first place.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Right now it appears no one else has the problem.  Until they show signs of such, I can’t just randomly do it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Can you let me out?  She may have been hallucinating.  She said something about the diamond sample she took, seeing something inside.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Until the tests have finished running, and I find you cannot give this to anyone else, you are both confined to sickbay.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: The second away team... have them isolated upon their return.  Are you going to release me anytime soon?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  As soon as they report in, they will be sent here as well.  No one else will go down to the planet unless they are in containment suits.  Whatever is doing this prevents us from directly beaming them up to the ship.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Can you at least deactivate the bio-bed field?  Can't I stand up at least?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::nods to the tech to release the restraints on both the XO and CTO:
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO/CTO:  Sorry guys, but I had to protect the medical staff and we didn't know what you were going to do.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::gets the relief OPS to recall the second away team, hoping at least one of them is in a state to carry out the order::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, can you tell me what you were doing just before you saw your wife?
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: We were on the shuttle looking for our missing shuttle.  Commander Ec'Thel'Ion kept going on about some non-existent berta pie or something
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  You as well please, before you thought you had settled on the planet.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Understood, but there wasn't a threat.  Not at first anyway.  ::Looks over at the CEO.::  What happened to Holly, though?  She didn't really have any new contact for hours.  The Commander and I must have touched something...oh, Galaxies, that residue!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::her ears perk up::  CTO:  What residue?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: There was some kind of residue in one of the caves, Tricorder couldn't make any sense of it.  I took a sample for analysis, left it with the team recovering the Perseid shuttle.
XO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CTO: yes, what residue?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I want that residue up here ASAP!  That will have my answers!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Nurse:  Please bring the CEO around.  I have some questions I would like to ask her.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CNS: Contact the other team, they should have it, sample tube Alpha.
