<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at Roz wondering what he's going to do now ::
MIST says:
CO:  This is my existence.  Not like yours.  There are no boundaries.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  Am I dead?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, scanning surrounding area of space looking for signs of...signs of something to show what happened to the Captain.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks around the bridge, then takes a deep breath:: CTO: Ec'Thelion, keep track of that mist, if it moves, we follow.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Roz, what's happening here? The Captain looks......dead even though he's breathing.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::still staring at the captains now empty body, waiting for him to just get back up::
MIST says:
CO:  No you are not dead, if I understand your meaning of the word.  You are pure energy as I am.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Aye Sir, I'll do what I can to keep track of it.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: I'm not sure, Holly, but he's in the same state as Randi. I'm going to try and find her - its all connected to this Mist.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: Ensign, arrange for the Captain to be taken to sickbay, please.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  This is..... disconcerting
MIST says:
CO:  I am always as are you.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Mutters to himself:: Self: It has to be connected to this mist... its the only explanation.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: holds the Captain's head as she waits for someone to come for him ::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Is that a good idea?  Assuming that the Mist took him out, will it be able to find the body if it's moved?
MIST says:
CO:  Let me show you the sights in this Universe.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: I doubt this entity will have trouble finding anything it is looking for... call it a hunch.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  The whole universe?
 
ACTION:  The MIST disappears from sight taking the CO and CNS with it.  Sensors cannot detect where it has gone.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: glances over at Icky :: CTO: What about the ready room, it's closer?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
FCO: Yes sir. ::presses a button on the console:: *MO_Laura*: I need you to bring a medical crew to the bridge immediately. 
MIST says:
CO:  Yes, the parts that I know of.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::bites back an oath as the Mist disappears:: CTO: Find it!
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Ut oh, Sir, sorry, lost the thing on sensors.  Out of range I think.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
All: Ok, we'll stay put for the time being. I didn't get any malignant feeling from the Mist, more curiosity.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  Do you know of what we call the Alpha and Beta Quadrants?  ::visualizes Qo'noS::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: tries to make the Captain's body more comfortable :: Self: Boy he's been eating way too much ghargh.
 
ACTION:  As the MIST begins to move, the planets whiz by at an enormous speed.  In the wink of an eye, it moves from galaxy to galaxy.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Switches to LRS package, looking for the unusual energy signature of this thing.::
MO_Laura says:
*OPS*: Yes sir. ::gathers a few medical crew and some medical supplies and makes her way to the bridge::
MIST says:
CO:  It has been many ages since I was there.  Can you show me other planets in that area?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Holly, will you help the medical crew put him in the ready room? Have someone stay to check his vitals.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: Keep the ship at all stop until we get this sorted out.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST: It is my home. ::visualizes other planets in the Empire, along with Earth and other planets in the Federation::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Of course Roz. :: smiles and looks towards the turbolift :: Self: Where is that medical team?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Looking for the energy signature with Long Range Sensors, but not getting anything.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: Let me know if you find anything.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST: We wish to return there.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
FCO: Yes sir. ::brings up the helm controls and brings the ship to a stop::
MIST says:
CO:  That is not far from here.  Would you like to see it?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sits down in the Big Chair:: All: I'm going to go into a trance for a bit to see if I can get Randi to answer. ::grumbles a bit:: I'm not the strongest telepath on the crew!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  Yes!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at Roz and thinks that he's been in a trance for months now, so why is this any different ::
 
ACTION:  Quicker than thought, the MIST brings the Captain to the Beta Quadrant and stops outside Qo’noS.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::closes his eyes and drapes his hands on the chair's armrest, going completely relaxed:: ~~~CNS: Randi! Where are you?!~~~
CNS_McIntyre says:
::Is amazed at the journey and how fast they arrived::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sees the medical team arriving finally :: Med Team: Help me get the Captain into his ready room.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::opens his eyes, the lack of success written on his face::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Holly, do you think Mr. Knox would know something about this mist?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  I wish to see my wife ::visualizes br'Sten::  She is who I share my energy with.
 MIST says:
CO:  Why?  Are you not content?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: struggling with the Captain now :: FCO: Knox? I don't know Roz. Why not try and find him and ask?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  No.  My crew and I are lost, and we wish to return home.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::hides a smile as Holly and the med team struggle to carry the Klingon into his ready room:: *Knox*: Mr. Knox, could you please come to the bridge?
Med_Team: says:
:: hoist the Captain up and head for the ready room, Holly in tow ::
MIST says:
CO:  What is lost?  Do you not travel freely?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  We all have family and loved ones that we share our energy with.  Being so far from home we cannot do that.
Knox says:
*FCO*:  Of course Commander, I'm on my way.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST: Lost is when you don't kn.... Lost is when you are someplace that you do not want to be.  Our ship will not travel fast enough to get us home for many years.
MIST says:
CO:  It is but a little way to be here...
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::tumbles out of the TL::
Knox says:
::heads out of the mess hall and enters the TL::
MIST says:
CO:  Do you not like your composition?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: watches as the CO's body is placed on the couch in the ready room :: Self: Boy that man weighs a tonne.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST: For you perhaps, but we cannot travel as fast as you.  You brought us here in a fraction of what we would call a second.  We cannot travel anywhere near that fast.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::looks around for the captain's ready room:::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST: Yes we like our composition just fine.  It is the way we are. 

ACTION:  The MIST moves down to the planet and finds the Captain's wife.  She is unable to see them.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::tries calling Randi again while waiting for Knox:: ~~~CNS: Randi, if you don't answer me now, I'm going to dye your hair blue the first chance I get!~~~
Knox says:
::exits the TL and heads over to the FCO::  FCO:  Yes Commander, what can I do for you?
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::collects herself and picks up her med kit and walks over to the doors of the ready room and hits the chime::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Med Team: Ok, one of you will have to stay with the Captain until the Doctor gets here.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: hears the chime :: CMO: Come in!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Gets up and leads Knox over to the tactical console:: CTO: Play the bridge recordings of the Mist please.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Feels the pride swell up 'inside' himself::  MIST:  My mate, br'Sten.  A strong woman, and a fierce warrior.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::walks in and realizes what the devil has happened::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Knox: I need your help with something. I need to know if you have ever seen anything like this before?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Notes the arrival of the civilian guest and double checks the security codes, half out of habit.  Then brings up the recordings.::  FCO: Aye Sir.  Want it on main viewer or on the console here?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CMO: Thank goodness. Take a look at the Captain please. He just collapsed on the bridge.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: Main viewer.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CEO: Cmdr I know what to do.  ::rushes up to the captain's body and applies the neuro-stimulators on the captain's head and begins a tricorder scan of him::
MIST says:
CO:  And her being with you gives you energy?  As I have done with you?
Knox says:
::looks up at the view-screen as the recording plays::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: While Knox looks at this, could you check the database for any reports of this kind? Who knows, we might get lucky.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Runs a quick analysis of the sensor readings, trying to prepare a summary of what we've learned so far.::
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
Self: It figiures.  Mist has done this to the captain.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Watches as br'Sten goes about her daily routine, giving instructions to servants etc.  She walks out onto a nearby balcony and looks up into the sky::  br'Sten: I am here be'nalwIj
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
FCO: I'll get right on it sir. ::presses a few buttons and opens up a huge list of items that scroll by very quickly::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  She cannot hear me can she?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CMO: Any idea as to how to treat him?
Knox says:
FCO:  There has been some talk in this quadrant about that.  But most people believe it to be a fairy tale.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CEO: Sir their bodies are all functioning correctly but were I Vulcan I would have to say that their essence or katra has been removed.  In other words all of what they are emotionally and mentally is gone.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  Her being with me brings me great joy.
MIST says:
CO:  No not in thoughts or with your throat is it?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
FCO: Sir, it appears that there are some folk tales that mention the mist, but nothing factual to go on.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  In this state I cannot hold her, or speak to her.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CMO: Empty shells then?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::turns to face the Talaxian:: Knox: And what does this fairy tale say?
MIST says:
CO:  She is not of my energy.  Do you wish that I join with her?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CMO: How long can they exsist in this state?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: Good. Collect the data for me, I'll have a look as soon as we're done here.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: If it involves a trail of bread crumbs or some magic beans, then we may be out of luck.
Knox says:
FCO:  It's basically always been seen in the sky.......in fact, most people believe it to be a trick of light.  No one has ever heard of it affecting individuals though.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles at Ec'Thel'Ion's comment:: Knox: So other than being seen in the sky, there are no tales of it taking someone out of their bodies, or something like that?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST: You can do that?... What am I asking?... of course you can.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
FCO: Aye sir. ::sends all the entries pertaining to the mist to the Captain's chair::
MIST says:
CO:  If that is what you wish, I can take her and you back to your ship.
Knox says:
FCO:  Nothing of the sort Commander.  In fact, this is the first time I've seen it.  I've only heard the stories.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  Join with her.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sighs:: Knox: So basically you're telling me we're in uncharted territory here?
 
ACTION:  The MIST surrounds the Captain's wife, bringing her into the energy flow.

CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CEO: Well if I had to guess not long.  You see the cells of the brain tissues will degenerate if they are not being used.  The brain functions by electrical impulses.  Now when these impulses stop the chemicals begin to breakdown and, well the tissue also begins to break down.  Without their emotional and mental states returned to them.
Knox says:
FCO:  Unfortunately yes.  I'm sorry to disappoint you and cannot be more forthcoming.
br’Sten says:
Self: What the....?
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CEO: I don't know and I would have to put them into stasis for a while.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
Knox: Its OK, I was just exploring all avenues. I hope you are still enjoying your stay with us?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods :: CMO: Then I shall leave you to care for them. :: stands and takes a last look at the Captain ::
Knox says:
FCO:  Of course I am Commander.  How could one not enjoy themselves on such a fine vessel.
CNS_McIntyre says:
::maybe if I let the MIST know I am here... no better not, but I can try Roz::  ~~~FCO:  Roz... can you sense me?~~~
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CEO: Do not worry I will take care of them.
Knox says:
::feels helpless that he couldn't do more for his friends::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten:  br'Sten be'nalwIj.  It is me, Q'tor? I do not know how, but a being of energy has done this so that I can speak with you.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: Is there any pattern in any of the stories, like does it ever appear in the same sky on separate occasions?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CMO: I shall report what you said to Commander Roznine. :: steps back through the door and onto the bridge a bit shaken ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::grins:: Knox: Flattery will get you everywhere. If you will excuse me, I need to check the rest of the information we have. ::tilts his head a little as if hearing something, then shakes it and smiles again::
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::looks after the departing CEO and wonders why she said that and why she is a bit shaken?::
br’Sten says:
Q'tor:  Q'tor, loDnalwIj? Where are you?
Knox says:
CTO:  From the stories, they've always appeared centuries apart.
CNS_McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Ok Roz, I am going to turn up the volume if you don't answer me... then don't gripe when you get a headache!~~~
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: OK, then here's to hoping those skies had nothing to attract it's attention.  And that we do have enough to attract its attention.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::leaves Knox in Ec'Thel'Ion's care and goes to sit on the Big Chair:: OPS: Thank you for the information. ::activates the console next to the chair and starts reading::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks over to Roz and leans on his chair :: FCO: Roz, the doctor is going to put the Captain and Randi into stasis for now to prevent any further deterioration of their brain cells. It seems they need their, "souls" to function.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten:  My ship is lost in the Delta Quadrant.  We are trying to get home.  My physical body is back on the Huron. At the moment I am pure energy.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::smiles at the FCO::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::"listens" for a moment before answering Holly:: CEO: I don't know if I'm just wishing it, but I think I heard Randi... tell the Doc to hold on a few minutes.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*Sickbay* : Bring two stasis pods to the captain's ready room on the double.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: Something else just popped into my head, any of the appearances come into the sky during periods of higher stellar emission, Aurora Borealis type effects maybe attract it?  Grasping at straws, but looking for something to grasp onto.
Knox says:
CTO:  Agreed Commander.
CNS_McIntyre says:
~~~CO:  Sir, I hate to interrupt, but I am in this MIST with you.  How do you think it will take me, since I am here like a stowaway?~~~
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::"shouts" as loud as he can:: ~~~CNS: Randi, if you can hear me, then you had better answer, or your hair will be blue for a week.~~~
Knox says:
CTO:  Aurora Borealis?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods and taps her combadge :: *CMO*: Doctor, this is Commander Sparks. Commander Roznine wants you to hold off on stasis for the moment.
CNS_McIntyre says:
::begins to chuckle:: ~~~FCO:  Well the volume goes up and you wouldn't dare dye my hair blue!~~~
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: Human term, location of Starfleet Academy gives human names to many effects.  They're lights that seem to appear in the sky, an effect of stellar radiation in the atmosphere.  Looks like the sky is kinda glowing on it's own.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Counselor?  I was not aware that you were here with us?
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CEO: What?  I can't wait for ever sir.  Either I get them into stasis or they die.
Knox says:
CTO:  That's exactly what most people say that it is.....some sort of light in the sky.
br’Sten says:
Q'tor:  How many of you are here?
CNS_McIntyre says:
~~~CO:  I didn't mean to be, I was just checking out the MIST when it just sorta happened!~~~
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CEO: I will wait for a little while longer but in 15 minutes it will be stasis time.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Still "shouting"::~~~CNS: Try me, bluelocks. Listen, I don't know where you are, but you have to get back here, before your bodies become vegetables even if you are in them. the Doc says your braincells are deteriorating because there is no brain function at the moment~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten:  Obviously more than I was aware of.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Roz, the doctor can't wait too long or we will lose both Randi and the Captain.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  This mist seems to know everything so I'm sure it knows that you are here as well.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Thank you, Holly. I will know in a moment or two if stasis will be needed. I am kinda talking to Randi now.
CNS_McIntyre says:
~~~CO:  Ut oh... er em Captain, I just heard from Roz... if the MIST does not take us back and quickly, we will die of brain death.  I hope you are on good terms with it.~~~
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: In spacefaring peoples, I'd guess that Scientists would know when such lights are explained and when they aren't.  But most folk tales come from those without the "scientific answers" that make it non-magical.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten:  The being says that it can bring you back to the ship with us.  I have to say that it IS a tempting offer.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::watches as the two portable stasis pods are brought into the ready room from the Captain's personal Tube lift.
MIST says:
CNS:  Have you enjoyed the trip?  I was amazed that one such as yourself was able to join with me independently.
Knox says:
CTO:  But please understand Commander, we all thought this was just a myth of some kind.  No one really took it seriously to investigate.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten: You and I together again.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*: Doctor, Commander Roznine is in contact with our counselor telepathically. We should know soon if they can get their minds back inside their bodies.
CNS_McIntyre says:
::jumps at the thought in her mind::  MIST:  I did not mean to uninvited, it just happened.  I hope I have not offended you.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CEO: I hope so cause the stasis pods are here and I will have to put them into them soon.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: I understand, but it makes me wonder how many of the sightings are real.  But that doesn't change anything, we know this is real, so we can try and work with what we actually do know.
br’Sten says:
Q'tor:  It is indeed a tempting offer loDnalwIj, and I would love nothing more than to do so.  But my duty is here, tending to your House.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged doctor, stand by.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*CEO*: Standing by sir.
Knox says:
CTO:  Yes Commander.  And I know I haven't been much help, but if you need me to do anything, I'm more than willing.
MIST says:
CNS:  I have now 3 energies within me.  Is there a danger to your housings due to being with me?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: 'smiles' (sort of) :: br'Sten: Two Klingon hearts beating as one.  Even distance cannot challenge that power.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: Don't sweat it, it seems none of us has been much help with this.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Holly, tell the Doc to prep them so long. If it takes more than the time she needs to do that for them to come back, then she should start the stasis.
MIST says:
CO:  You must make your choice Captain.  We must return or you will not be able to rejoin your housing.
Knox says:
::walks over to the CTO::  CTO:  Do you think that since I'm pretty useless, that the Captain will not want me on his ship?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: I'm on it Roz.
br’Sten says:
Q'tor:  Your duty is to bring your ship and crew home.  Do that.  Knowing that you are indeed out there will give me strength.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::gets the med techs to help load the captain into the first pod and closes it and puts it on standby::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*: Begin your preparations for stasis, and let me know when you are ready before initiating the procedure.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten:  Get word to my father and the High Council, and Starfleet Command.  I must go if our bodies are to survive.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Randi, if you're not back in 10 minutes, the Doc is going to stuff you into stasis.~~~
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::gets the med techs to help load the CNS into the other pod and puts it also on stand by::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: You have knowledge of the area.  You at least knew that this thing had been seen before.  None of the rest of us knew that.  We all find a way to help, and you just did.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*CEO*: Sir both the Captain and CNS are loaded and the stasis pods are on stand by sir.
br’Sten says:
Q'tor:  jIyaj loDnalwIj.  Go, and come back to me as soon as possible.
Knox says:
CTO:  I know.  I guess I'm just kicking myself for not being more of a help in this matter.
CNS_McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Geez Roz, don't get your pantyhose in a twist!  The Captain is negotiating right now with it.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks to her station and checks to see if the needed power will be available ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
br'Sten:  Be well be'nalwIj.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::paces the floor of the ready room waiting as the time is getting down to the critical moments::
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*CEO*: We are running out of time sir.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Knox: As I said, right now we're all wishing we could do more.
br’Sten says:
Q'tor: QaplaH loDnalwIj.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: I'm just relaying the Doc's words. For that you will have blue hair. Pantyhose indeed. I wear tights, dammit.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  I am ready.  My wife will stay. Return us to our bodies.
 
ACTION:  The MIST returns the Captain's wife to her body and begins to leave the Beta Quadrant.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: calls over to Roz :: FCO: Commander, the doctor says time is running out.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: I know Holly... I know. Tell her to switch on a the last possible moment.
MIST says:
CO/CNS:  I have found an interest in your kind.  I did not know that you existed until I was attracted to the energy of your ship.  We will be back shortly.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  Thank you
CNS_McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  We are on our way Roz... and my hair better NOT be blue when I get back.~~~
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  I don't suppose you could return our whole ship and crew back home.
 
ACTION:  The MIST is picked up on the Long Range Sensors.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST:  At the very least show us the way home.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*: Doctor, the Commander says to wait until the last possible moment. I think he has been in touch with Randi and she may have some information how to get back.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::smiles:: ~~~CNS: I have a nice shirt that will bring out the cyan highlights.~~~
MIST says:
CO:  You can follow the same path I took, can you not?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Sir, picking up that energy again, closing fast.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST: There are certain obstacles that would block our path.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: Great! *CMO*: Doctor, we should have our Captain and Counselor back in moments.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*CEO*: Understood but it better be soon.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*FCO*: How soon is great????
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
MIST: Quantum singularities, certain types of nebulas, novas, etc.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: hears Icky and sighs :: CTO: Commander, it's speed is incredible!
 
ACTION:  The MIST enters the Huron and deposits the life energies of the Captain and the Counselor into their bodies.

Knox says:
::sees someone unfamiliar to him and walks over::  OPS:  I don't believe we've met.  The name's Knox.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: You can say that again.  Thing has to be at least partially extradimensional, the way it moves through things and the way it doesn't explode from impacting particles in space.
CNS_McIntyre says:
ALL:  Wow! what a trip ::as she holds her head, a little shaky from the experience::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::slighty startled:: Knox: Hello, my name's T'maekh.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Eyes flicker open, and a big grin appears on his face::
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*CEO*: There be life here sirs.
Knox says:
OPS:  It's so good to meet you T'maekh.  If you're ever in need of morale, well, just look me up!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: It must be fascinating for the science department. :: smiles ::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*: Doctor?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Begins to sit up, but has to steady himself::
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*CEO*: I got life from the Captain and the CNS.
MIST says:
~~~CO:  Captain, I will help you, but I cannot get you all the way home.  I do not have the energy for all the beings and your container as well.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::glances over at the ready room, knowing the Captain and Randi are back:
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Looks around to see that he's in his ready room::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::regards the Tallaxian strangely, but figures it's nothing:: Knox: Alright, thanks!
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: And could help us if we could kinda copy it somehow.  Of course that may just be SciFi at this point in our Technological development.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CO: Easy sir. Just take it easy your brain functions have to stabilize.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO*: Understood. Are they well?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
~~~MIST:  I thank you, for that, and for the chance to see home and my wife once again.~~~
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles and nods at Icky ::
CNS_McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Dang right BUD and your are going to pay!~~~
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
*CEO*: They are alright just have to get the chemicals adujusted but they are well.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*FCO*:  Commander, I take it the ship is still in one piece?
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Scans to see if the energy readings are still present.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CMO* I will tell Commander Roznine.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CNS: Relax Please the cheimicals in your brains have to readjust themselvess before I can let you out.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Pay what? I just made sure you got back.~~~
 
ACTION:  In the blink of an eye, the MIST moves the Huron two years closer to the Alpha Quadrant with a clear picture in the Captain's mind as to how to get there, then the MIST disappears.
 
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns to Roz :: FCO: They're back Commander.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CO*: As a matter of fact, sir. We went for a joyride while you were away and the pilot put a huge scratch in the paintwork.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::notices the mist has vanished and wonders where it could've went to::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CMO:  As you say Doctor.   Got anything in your bag of tricks for a HUGE headache?  ::begins to laugh::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Thanks Holly, I had Randi threaten me already, because I said I was going to dye her hair blue.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*FCO*: Ah well... it'll add character.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Sir, massive changes in the external sensor readings.  I think it pushed us.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: giggles :: FCO: You would too.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: It did what? Can you tell how much/far/long?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*FCO*:  Be ready for inputting a new course heading.
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: I'm not the navigator.  ::Grins, then checks the star-charts.::  Looks like a couple of years closer.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I must say Captain, you and your wife do make quite a handsome couple!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. It seems the Mist gave us a bit of a push. Ec'Thel'Ion is confirming now - looks like it shaved a couple of years off our trip.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::raises and eyebrow:: CNS: As a matter of fact I do  ::smiles. Pulls out a loaded hypo and shoots the CNS in the neck. ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CMO:  Ah... blessed relief ::as the pain disappears, her smile gets wider;:
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::grins at Holly:: CEO: It was an effective threat, don't you think?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  ::with a big grin::  She is my all.  She is magnificent!
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Blue hair doesn't work.  White is where it's at.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I totally agree Captain, she is magnificent!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: You know that she'll get even, right?
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::looks at the hypo and thinks what the blazes was in that thing::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*FCO*: I have the course Commander.  I'll be with you as soon as the good doctor here releases me.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at Icky :: CTO: White is beautiful indeed.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CMO:  I am much better, and I do have a little detail to attend to on the bridge.
CO:  Captain your permission to return to the bridge?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. I'll be here.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Well, it’s not like I actually DID it.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CMO:  Doctor, the sooner you let me get back to work, the sooner we can get home.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Granted
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Randi is not going to let you even make such a threat without retaliation. Just be warned.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::stopping at the replicator, she orders a large pitcher of water with ice, then nodding to the CO she lefts the RR and sneaks up behind Roz and dumps it on him::  FCO:  Now what do you have to say BUD?  ::grinning::
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
CO: Sir you are cleared for duty and so is your CNS.
 
ACTION:  The FCO sits in the Captain's chair with water running down his face.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::clenches his teeth:: CEO: Too late to say anything, I would say.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::shakes his head at the mischievous behaviour of the CNS::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Feels re-energized and ready to take on all challengers::  CMO: Thank you doctor.
CMO_Lt_Smithers says:
::loks for the CNS::  Self: Now where did she go.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Enters the bridge and sees the FCO sitting in his wet chair::
CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Looks like you should have done it anyway, if the retaliation comes either way.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::points at Randi:: CO: She did it, not me!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: laughs outloud at Roz's predicament :: FCO: Well I warned you.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Clean it up Counselor.  ::goes to the helm and inputs the route home::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Better water than color Icky! ::laughing anew::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Gladly sir!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO:  That's our way home Commander; courtesy of the mist.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::winks at Ec'Thel'ion:: CTO: Who says I gave up on that idea?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::deactivates the helm controls from his console::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Thank you sir. ::gets up and drips his way over to the helm::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ALL:  You will be pleased to know that there are no longer any doubts as to Starfleet’s knowledge of our situation.
