CNS_McIntyre says:
::notices the MIST change color around the Captain::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: stares at the mist and the face of the Captain, wondering who's going win the battle of wits ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, trying to determine how this thing passes through any available shields so easily, looking for a means of containment if necessary.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles happily as he tries to trace patterns in the Mist::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Mist: What does that mean: 'All of all'?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::busy trying to push the cloud away from himself::
CMO_Smithers says:
::in sickbay with Marsha::
 
ACTION:  The MIST leaves the bridge and collects itself in sickbay around the pregnant woman.

CMO_Smithers says:
::looks at the mist as it has returned:: Self: This can't be good.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
All: Aaaw, where'd the Mist go? I was having fun.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Looks around at the bridge crew :: ALL: Was it something I said?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Self: That cloud should make up it's mind...
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles slightly at the Captain's comment ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Can't tell for sure, can't try and judge from its facial expressions.  But I might have an idea, should it prove necessary to remove the stuff.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks down at her console for any readings that show the mist is into the ship's systems ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::remembers where he is and starts calling up system reports on his console to see if anything is behing affected::
CMO_Smithers says:
::passes her tricorder over Marsha to see how often her contractions are comming::
 
ACTION:  The MIST enters the pregnant woman.  She rises from the bio-bed and looks at the CMO.

OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::checks the power readings making sure the mist hasn't affected anything::
CMO_Smithers says:
::looks in shock:: All: What in the name of heaven is going on here?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Captain, I show all systems nominal but the mist has returned to sickbay.
CMO_Smithers says:
Marsha: Please lie down you are going to have your baby soon.
MIST says:
CMO:  What a strange feeling this is.  You are so confined within this limited space.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::puts sickbay on the view-screen::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Nothing affected from what I can tell either.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CEO: It must like it there
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Well yes if that is putting it mildly.
MIST says:
CMO:  What is a baby?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Better there than here sir?
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: A baby?  ::thinks quick::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: It seems to like biological forms more than mechanical.  Only adverse affect seems to be Bee.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: And it seems to like the pregnant girl.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: A baby is the end results of a female of our species mating with a male of our species and with the combination it makes for a baby.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Watching the view-screen:: CEO: Maybe not
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: glances at the screen and over to the Captain ::
MIST says:
::nods and continues to think about this::  CMO:  Why are you in the ::points to the walls of the ship::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::watches the screen intently, glancing down every few seconds making sure nothing is affected::
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: See humans, our species have several organs that produce.........  Excuse me???
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Commander, I can't see your security people at the moment.
MIST says:
CMO:  Shall I remove you from this so you can move about freely?
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Our walls??
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I told them to move back a bit, so they're probably out of the view screen.  Better double check on that.  ::Checks internal sensors to find where Scoo has Alpha Team.::
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: If you remove me from these walls I will die as there is no oxygen to breathe and I would die.
MIST says:
CMO:  What is die?  ::a puzzled look on her face::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
*CMO*: I think the mist might mean remove you from your body so that you are a mist.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods and goes back to checking on ships systems ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ALL:  I don't like where this is going.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Oh no no no you can't remove us or me from our protective covering.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Sir, perhaps if you go to sickbay?
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: If you do I would be like a jelly substance.
MIST says:
CMO:  How are you able to move through the distance with this "cover" around you?
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: With out our protective covering meaning our skin we would not beable to function.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CEO: Good idea
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO: Commander you have the Con
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Heads off toward sickbay::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: How long would it take you to alter the pressure between areas of the ship?  If the thing becomes threatening, it might work for us to clear the thing out.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Well for one we can walk or run if needed and well we can also operate the functions of this ship.  If you were to remove the walls we would all be exposed to a vacume and humans or our species can't live out side of this container.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::nods:: CO: Aye,sir. :;gets up to sit in the Big Chair [TM]::
MIST says:
CMO:  How odd... to be in a container that moves and you are inside it.  Don't you find that restricting?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: Well, it would take me several minutes...
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Some would say yes but in reality it is quite natural for us to use containers like this to travel the stars.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Let me know if you need me to do anything to help. :: smiles ::
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: It gives us the opportunity to study other species and learn about them and interact with them.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CEO: Alright, thanks.
MIST says:
CMO:  It is an odd feeling to be constricted by this ::points to her body::, what is this called?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: The stuff seemed to pass right through every field we had on the ship, so I'm wondering if we can use more natural methods, like a cloud moving from high to low pressure areas on a planet.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: You have inhabited the body of a human female.  ::smiling::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: You think that would work on a seemingly omnipotent cloud that moves through space and our shields at will?
MIST says:
CMO:  I would like to see the rest of this container.  Can you show me?
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: You mean the ship?
MIST says:
::points to the walls::  CMO:  Is this the name, ship?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Enters sickbay:: Mist:  Before that happens I'd like some answers to some of my questions.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Yes it is our ship.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Don't know, but I do know the normal means didn't work.  But in theory, that could move a solid being around, so I'm guessing, and the key their is guessing, that this would work better.
 
ACTION:  The MIST sees the Klingon and a force-field is erected around him.  He is unable to move.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sees the Captain on the screen :: All: Look, the Captain has arrived.
CMO_Smithers says:
CO: Sir she has inhabited Marsha's body sir and I wouldn't recommend getting her upset sir.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: Perhaps we could alter the temperature around it to coax it to leave.
MIST says:
CMO:  That one has bad energy... would you like me to make it disappear?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Yup, and it seems the Mist isn't affected by our shields, but it knows what they are for.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Roz, I'm reading a new energy reading in sick-bay..it's a force-field...and it's surrounding Captain Q`tor.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: No, no, please no he is my commanding officer.  NO he is just his usual self.  No we need him besides you would not help relations between you and me.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Problem is it moved through space.  Low temperature didn't affect it, so I'm thinking the pressure would work better.  Assuming it works at all.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Mist:  My people have answered your questions, but we have questions of our own about you.
MIST says:
CO:  Silence, or you will have no voice at all.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: Is there anything your team can do on the spot down there?
CMO_Smithers says:
CO: Please sir I was getting some where with the Mist.
MIST says:
CMO:  I would like to see the rest of this place.  Show me.  ::she begins walking towards the sickbay doors.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Can't say for sure.  I'm guessing a Phaser will have an effect, but I'm also guessing it will affect the ship more than it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Or affect the crewman it seems to be in now.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CTO: We could go to warp and see if that affects it any.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Was maybe a bit frustrated before, but now is pure angry::
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Wait. I can't let you take Marsha out of sickbay but I offer myself as a host for you to see the rest of the ship.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: As long as you allow me to be me as well while you are inhabiting my body.  Something like a symbiotic type of thing.
Host CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CMO: Doctor No!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: That's what I thought.
MIST says:
CMO:  That is acceptable.  Who will show me around?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: Have your team follow her around if they go walking.
 
ACTION:  The MIST moves out of the body of the pregnant woman and into the CMO.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Understood, and I'll remind the rest to not growl at it.
*Scoo*: When they leave, tag along, but keep yourselves at least a dozen meters behind.  And try and seem happy at least.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: I will of course but you must let me also be me as well.
CMO_Smithers says:
Self: Oooohhh this feels weird.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Mist:  You think I was bad energy before, you haven't seen anything yet!
CMO_Smithers says:
CO: Sir wait! Mist will not harm me.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: I think Randi should get down there and calm the Captain.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Good idea. ::looks over at the counselor:: CNS: Up to the job?
 
ACTION:  The MIST moves out of the body of the CMO and moves to the Captain.
 
ACTION:  Randi does not move or speak.  She is sitting as if she were a statue.

CMO_Smithers says:
CO: Sir are you alright?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
All: How did we not notice this? ::reaches over to poke Randi's arm::
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: You may not like what you are feeling if you stay there much longer.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CMO: Of course I'm not alright!  I can't move!
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Please return to my body and I will take you on the tour you want.
 
ACTION:  The MIST moves into the body of Q'tor.

MIST says:
~~~CO:  Why is your energy so negative?~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Randi?~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Mist: ~~~Because I am responsible for the safety of this ship and crew, and without answers from you, you pose a threat to that safety.~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
All: Not good... it’s like Randi's not in her body. I can't feel her at all.
CMO_Smithers says:
Mist: Please let the captain go.  He is the one that needs to command our ship and its crew.
Host MIST says:
~~~CO:  I am not a danger to you or this container... I have never seen your kind before.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks over at Roz :: FCO: No feeling allowed Roz. Randi might not like that.
CMO_Smithers says:
Self: Oh dear this is not good.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Should we have a Medic sent up?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: You know what I mean. Its like she's not in her body at all.
CMO_Smithers says:
::watches Marsha as her contractions come much more faster::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Try shaking her.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Break her concentration or something.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
~~~Mist: And we have never seen your kind before, and are just as curious about you.  You said you were 'all of all', but what does that mean exactly?~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Its more like the lights are on, but no-one is home. ::tries shaking Randi's shoulders::
MIST says:
~~~CO:  I am all of me... as you are all of you.  I share my energy with me.~~~
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::wonders what is going on inside the Captain's head::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: chuckles :: FCO: I've often wondered if she's ever home.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
~~~Mist:  Okay, the doctor there is a Human.  I am a Klingon.  What are you?~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles slightly:: CEO: Perhaps, but I could hear the noise of her thinking at least. Now there is nothing. Like it’s been switched off, or walled in.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
FCO: Maybe it's something the mist caused?
 
ACTION:  The MIST inhabiting the Klingon, releases the force-field and starts walking down the corridor.

CMO_Smithers says:
*CTO*: Some one better go with the captain.  The Mist is in his body.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Scoo*: Keep yourself a dozen meters back, but keep 'em in sight.  And remember to smile.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: Most probable.
CMO_Smithers says:
Marsha: Relax hun you are in good hands.
Alpha Team says:
::Follows the Captain.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Roz, Randi should be taken to sickbay to be examined.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Wonders the corridors ::
MIST says:
~~~CO:  Now you can show me this container you use.~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CMO: That was going to be my next move. ::taps his badge:: CMO: Doctor, send a team to the bridge to take the CNS down to sickbay.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Enters the Turbo lift::  TL: Deck one
MIST says:
::senses movement within the container and is puzzled by the TL::
Scoo says:
::Cautiously follows the Captain into the TL, motioning the others to catch the next one.::
Scoo says:
::Steps to the very back of the TL, almost climbing the wall.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
~~~Mist:  It is called a 'turbo-lift'.  It takes us from one deck to another.~~~
CMO_Smithers says:
*FCO*: Already dispatched.
MIST says:
~~~CO:  I think I like the way I move, rather than this.  It is so... limiting.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
~~~Mist:  To each his own.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Exits the TL when it stops and enters the bridge::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks around as the doors to the lift open :: CO: Captain! Are you alright sir?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CMO*: Good. It started when the mist arrived. Its like she's not in her body. I can't sense her in there.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
~~~Mist:  This is the bridge.  This is where the rest of the ship is controlled from.~~~
MIST says:
~~~CO:  Show me.~~~
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::is too busy at his console to notice the captain entering::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::hopes the mist doesn't try to enter his body::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns internal sensors scans to the Captain, looking to see what it's doing to the body it inhabits.::  All: Captain on the Bridge, apparently with guest.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Goes to the Command chair::  ~~~Mist:  This is where I issue my orders from.~~~
Scoo says:
::Slips out of the Turbo Lift and moves around the Bridge, putting some distance between him and the Captain.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Scoo: Relax, I meant to not get close and inadvertently threaten the being.  That's going too far the other way I think.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Continues around the bridge stopping at each station and explaining it's function::
MIST says:
~~~CO:  Captain, now that you have shown me your container, let me share my existence with you.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
~~~Mist:  You are inside of me, I don't know how we can share much more existing.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at Icky :: CTO: Think he's dangerous? :: points at the Captain ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Always, but so far in control.  I hope.
 
ACTION:  The Captain's body crumples to the floor.  The essence of the Captain is now with the MIST, outside the ship, floating in space.
