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

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: in her office in engineering going through the inventory report looking for any sign of a missing warp coil :: Self: Maybe it was just misplaced.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::puts an exhausted Braeden on his bed, having called the medical staff to help him:: Jewel: I don't want to leave him, but I need to find Sky... What do I do? ::really looks torn in his decision::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
Helm:  ETA to the planet?
SO_Jewel says:
FCO: Your best.  Braeden is calm for the moment... he needed you.  Go find his mother.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::shoots at a target and the program ends:: <Computer>: 47 out of 50.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::In Science Labs, looking for any signs of where the CSO went.::  *Bynars*: I need your help for a report search.  Access Commander Knight Sky's reports on this Library thing and see what you can learn, if anything, that might help us figure out what happened.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Self: So close..
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::nods:: SO: Thanks, will you stay with him? He knows you. ::gets up and goes over to the young scientist, touching her arm briefly::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Wondering on one hand if it was possible to live for ever in nothingness or if time existed, at the same time wondering if she really wanted to go back knowing Randi was unlikely to let her live this down.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: tosses the PADD onto her desk and sits back thinking ::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Computer: Computer, rerun program.
aFCO_Grelmat says:
CO: 1 day, sir.
SO_Jewel says:
:: smiles tiredly::  FCO: I am not going anywhere.  Just make sure someone replaces me on my shift.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CTO*:  Have you found her yet?
EO_Martin says:
*CEO*: Holly we've finished replacing the coil. Just thought you might want to know.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
SO: Consider it done. ::smiles tiredly and heads out the door, and the nearest turbolift::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::The image of a bullseye target appears 20 meters away and they get progressively further by 10 meters::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*Martin*: Good work Martin. I'll let the Captain know.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CNS*: Not a sign, starting the Bynars on a search of her records, but so far I'm not finding any signs.  That Library thing is here, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to look, seems kinda dull right now.
 CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::pacing back and forth on the bridge::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: taps her badge :: *Bridge* : Sparks to the bridge.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::enters the TL:: *CTO*: Ec'Thel'Ion, I am en route to the science lab, I assume you have been searching?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::rapidly shoots at the first few targets as they are very easy::
SO_Jewel says:
:: sighing heavily, takes the moment of quiet to rest; there was no telling what the next few hours would bring.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*FCO*: Searching, yeah.  Having luck, no.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CTO*:  You touch a knob, but I am not sure which one.  She has to be in there.  Shame she can't read my mind.  ::can't wait to give her a piece of it::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CTO*: Understood. ::enters the TL:: I will be there in a few minutes. Roz out. ::addresses the computer:: TL: Science labs.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Tries calling out, but hears nothing... mentally or physically::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CNS*: Commander Roznine is on his way down, I think he has the basics of this thing down.  If not, we'll get into the hit and miss.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::begins looking down the scope and picking off the targets in a still relatively quick manner:: Self: 25 down, 25 to go.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*:  This is Q'tor
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
::To no one:: How do you drive a science officer insane?  Put her in nothingness.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Captain, just letting you know that we've finished installing the last warp coil.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Any idea when we might run into someone with another one to spare?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*CTO*:  Don't go there Icky... you might damage it.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*:  Very well.  Now I'd like you to have an engineer go to the Science Lab and try to figure out Commander Knight-Sky's Library
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::finally gets to the 40th target and puts a lot of concentration and time into each shot:: Self: Now just don't mess up...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::See's Scoo return with the kit I sent him for.::  Scoo: Thanks.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::exits the TL:: *CO*: Roznine to the bridge.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO* We're setting course for a possible rendezvous now.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Her library sir?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CNS*: Understood, but I'm actually counting on Commander Roznine's having some experience with it.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: That holo-graphic thing she's been working with for so much lately.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*FCO*: Go ahead Commander
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Sorry sir, I'm not up to date on the Commander's research.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::slowly picks off the 48th target::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: I will go and see if I can "figure it out" though.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CEO*: I just need someone to try and figure out how the thing works in the hopes we can figure out where she's gone to.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CO*: Sir, I'm just asking in the light of the last power situation, if someone is keeping an eye on it? I'd hate to be lost in there too. Oh, and I will be attempting to use that library in a few minutes.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Reaches up to rub her head in frustration, nowhere closer to getting out of here.  She was totally reliant on others for that and in some ways, she found that frightening.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Of course sir, understood. Sparks out.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::enters the science lab and looks around, taking a moment to organize his thoughts::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Since warp is online, perhaps we could proceed to the planet that Knox told us about?  ::refuses to think about Sierra::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::Aims at the last target for almost 3 minutes preparing and fires, hitting it right in the center:: Self: YES!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*FCO*: We'll make sure there is plenty of power.  And Commander, if you get lost in there also I'll have you keel hauled.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: heads to the science lab after making sure that Martin is on top of things in engineering ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Agreed, set a course and engage.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Commander, is it naive to hope you have some clue about how to work this thing?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CO*: I won't even try and hold my breath, sir. Roznine out.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
aFCO:  Heading is 238.62 mark 1.  Engage at warp 4.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::does a little dance and quickly comes to his senses and stops:: <Computer>: 50 out of 50.
 
ACTION:  The FCO engages engines and goes to warp 4, heading for the planet that had been discussed.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Where has our Operations officer gone off to now?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::walks over to Ec'Thel'Ion:: CTO: I've been in there a few times, so I have a basic idea. ::takes the artifact:: Hmmm... this looks a bit dull. Last time it was more shiny.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I have no idea Sir... he did not request from me to be relieved of duty.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: enters the lab and looks around :: All: Anyone here?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*OPS*: Commander Q'tor to Ensign Sahen.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: OK, thought it looked a bit different, although I have to admit I didn't spend much time getting to know this thing.  Ok, any time.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  We should arrive at Kantu in two hours at warp 4.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks slowly across the main aisle and peers down to the back of the room ::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  He's a test isn't he?  Someone had him assigned to the bridge just to test my patience didn't they?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Inside, does our Technology work?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::Begins thinking about what to do next when he's interrupted by his commbadge and taps it:: *CO*: Yes sir?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: We're back here, at the...whatever this thing is called. Library?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  They wouldn't dare Sir!  ::grinning::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::takes the library in his hands and presses the buttons:: CTO: Not to my knowledge. ::looks up:: CEO: Over here!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*OPS*: You're presence is requested on the Bridge Ensign.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Hmph.  You were probably in on it.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  No way, my mother didn't raise no stupid Betazoid Sir!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: hears Icky and walks down the aisle :: CTO: Icky? What are you doing here?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
*CO*: Yes sir, I will be there shortly.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Roz, you too?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Not stupid... just sneaky.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Takes out the bracers from the blade training kit.::  CEO: If we're trying to go in after Commander Knight Sky, I'm going in.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Computer: Computer, end simulation.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: There's a bit of a situation, Holly. Sky was using the library when she just disappeared. I just spent the last 2 and half hours calming Braeden down.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO/CTO: The Captain sent me down to try and figure out how this "library" thing works.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO/CTO: May I see it? :: smiles and extends her hand ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Yes, I believe that is true.  One of the traits you love in me Captain!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I was told not to mess with it.  Probably a good idea, considering my specialty is smacking people upside the head.  Hoping I don't need that skill inside...is that the right word?  Inside that thing.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::Sighs and walks out of the holodeck and begins walking towards the turbolift:: Self: Is there never anyone else competent enough to do my job?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::hands it over:: CEO: I don't know why, but it looks dull, like a shiny object lit from inside that just lost its lustre.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: ::Heavy sigh:: I need a vacation.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  In two hours, you will have one Sir.  I am hoping that Kantu is everything we have been told it is.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles at Icky then takes the disc from Roz :: CTO/FCO: Looks like some kind of holo imager, athough I don't recognize the controls.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Until I am back in the Alpha Quadrant, on Qo'noS, in the naqtor mountains hunting targh.... I won't be on any sort of vacation.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Its not just a projection... its a complete experience. Its like you there. A holodeck in an amulet.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: What kind of programs does it have inside?  Programmable, or predetermined?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: The matrix should be similiar though. These indentations must be a form of code that needs to be touched in the correct sequence. :; turns it over and feels the indentations ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I was saving this for your birthday, but I have a hologram for you.  I think it is just what you need.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Its predetermined, a created environment, but its a library. Historical and scientific stuff. If it is programmable, Sky hadn't figured it out yet. ::frowns at the object while Holly inspects it.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::tapping her console, it opens and she takes out a cube.  She hands it to Q'tor::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Have you seen this thing work?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: A holo-program?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I've got the Bynars searching Commander Knight Sky's records to see if she recorded any of the operating commands.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::almost makes it to the turbolift when a crewman wearing a yellow jumpsuit runs up to him, very pale:: <Malek>OPS: Call sickbay, I'm about to...::the crewman passes out::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Yup! ::chuckles at him::  One I had specially made for you. 
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Do I get to kill anyone in it?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: I've been inside a few times. Not as much as SKy though. But I just think its something other than her just being gone. This object was shiny each time I've seen it. Now its dull. If I didn't know better, it could just be out of juice.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::catches the crewman just barely:: Self: This would happen to me...
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: What about the lab visual records? Anyone check them?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I think you need to see it first, then decide if you want to kill anyone.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: All I did was look at how she disappeared.  I'll get right on it.  ::Turns to the nearest console and calls up a record from when the object was being used.::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: I don't need to see it first.  I already know I want to kill someone.  Or at the very least, something.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: If this is just out of power...do we have something on board that could jump start it? Not reset though... that would be bad.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Begins to 'walk'::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Did Sky dedeuce what kind of power it used?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  It is your holo-program Sir.  ::tries not to smile as she had it made with the image of his wife included::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: I think it originally drew power from the ship, remember the power fluctuations we had?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods :: FCO: Boy, do I.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: But it was better after that place... uhm, the one we found the Federation ship?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks sheepish:: CEO: The one I knocked you out in sickbay...
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: I wonder if they are having any luck.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Stops a shiver going down her spine as she has the sudden sensation she is not alone.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: raises an eyebrow at Roz :: FCO: Ahuh.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO/ CEO: Does that mean the loss of the Warp Coils might have triggered the disappearance?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I think they would have called us by now if that was the case.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::taps his commbadge:: *Sickbay*: I need a medic on deck 7 immediately!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Finally sits down in his command chair::  CNS: I know. I just hate waiting.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Instinctively 'looks' around, but there is no light for her to see anything.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO/CEO: I'm thinking something from that planet "recharged" it somehow. I mean, after that it was fine. Until the warp coil failed. It could be it charged there, and was being maintained by the core? ::sighs:: This is pure speculation at the moment.
MO_Albright says:
*OPS*: I'll be right there! ::Grabs a medical kit and runs into the turbolift:: TL: Deck 7!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO/FCO: If this thing needed a power source to regenerate, then why doesn't it just draw the power like it did before?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Like trying to recharge a battery that's been drained so far it has nothing left, or has been charged too often?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Well, you could have a small hand to hand with OPS if and when he appears on the bridge Sir! ::grins evilly::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::Waits with the passed out crewman for the medic::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Speaking which... ::looks around:: where in gre'thor is he?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO/FCO: We need to know more before we tamper with it at any rate. Maybe my engineers can get a handle on it.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: I'm thinking drained so much its barely functioning. But a massive jumpstart could do the trick... if we can figure out what would be able to do that. ::grinds his teeth:: It has to be something from that planet... which is more than two years behind us now.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: We're not going back I hope.
MO_Albright says:
::Comes running out the turbolift and takes over caring for the crewman::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::sighs and does not answer his question::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Do we have anything on board from the planet? I'm willing to try anything at the moment.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Albright: Thanks, Now I have to get to the bridge before the Captain cuts my head off! ::Runs into the TL:: TL: Bridge!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: I imagine that Sky beamed up some samples for examination.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::taps his foot impatiently:: TL: Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to get in trouble again.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: I suppose so. I'm thinking something mineral, or transmitting a signal, a smell... I don't know. I just know I don't want to explain to Ethan why his wife is gone.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: I need an index of any samples taken from the world with the enlarged samples that we passed a while back.
Computer says:
OPS: Please repeat command.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO/CTO: The diamonds! We loaded a cargo bay with those things!
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Needing something to do she keeps walking, but wonders if she is going anywhere or staying in one place.  When they figured this out, and she was sure they would, would she be in the same place this all began or somewhere else?::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
Computer: Nothing, just nevermind, hurry up!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: Lead the way, and bring that thing.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  OPS should be here any moment Sir, he is in the TL now.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: Taking his sweet time.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles and starts walking :: CTO: Coming Icky?
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::Finally arrives at the bridge and now questions stepping onto the bridge:: Self: This ship just likes getting me in trouble...
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Right behind you.  If we go in, you better believe I'm coming.  Just lets make sure those diamonds don't do the ole hallucination thing again.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::Casually walks out of the turbolift and does not look at anyone and walks straight to his position and sits down::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO/CTO: I'll roll around in them if I have to. If that is a bust, then I'll search the database for other things we brought on board from there.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Mister Sahen.  I have one senior officer missing, and three more looking for her.  I want you to see to it that power to the Science labs does not fluctuate at all.
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Stops again, hearing a scrape.  Turns only her head trying to locate it.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO/CTO: If those diamonds are the power source, then it should be easy enough to figure this out.
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::Surprised that he's not in trouble:: CO: Yes sir.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO: I suppose I should report to the bridge... or should we wait until after we tried?
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: Closes her eyes and sighs, wondering if her mind was simply playing tricks on her.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: Let's not get the Captain's hopes up. We'll see if the diamonds work first ok?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS: And Mister Sahen. You were assigned to the bridge because, as much as I hate to say it, someone obviously thought you were the most qualified for the job. ::gritting his teeth trying not to start yelling:: From now on when we have a "situation" I'd appreciate it if you would man your station.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Icky, your men still watching that cargo?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::nods::CEO: I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. ::looks a bit subdued, already preparing for the eventuality it doesn't work::
CSO_LtCmd_Knight-Wind says:
:: self::  OK... now I might be ready to deal with Randi.  :: continues on.::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
::Is not surprised:: CO: Sir, as far as I was informed it was the end of my shift. If I was informed that it was necessary for me to have stayed, I would've. 
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CNS: ::Under his breath:: Diplomatic enough for you?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: It's on the regular patrols, and the lock is set to an alarm on the Tactical console.  Stuff is checked regularly.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Good job Sir... but I think that scares me more than the other did. ::hiding her smile:: 
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
OPS: Under normal circumstances it may well have been Ensign.  But these are not normal circumstances.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Then maybe you should be the one to go in first. :: smiles and gives him a sly wink ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I'd do that even if it wasn't my job.  ::Smiles back.::
OPS_Ens_Sahen says:
CO: Very well sir.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Heavy sigh::
