Mission Prologue:  

Several small cylindrical orbs have attacked the away team that is trying to re-establish power to a broken console that controls the portal home.  The units appear to learn and adapt to the crew's weapons.

In the meantime, the FCO and CMO have found a temple that may hold the key to controlling the portal to the Tekram world .. or somewhere.  There are hieroglyphics all over the temple.  Warning messages have been translated from the hieroglyphics, and one science officer has been killed while attempting to discover the secrets of the temple.

Xavier, the little boy from Lemarac, has also turned up missing.  Did he run off?  Or was he taken by one of the animals, orbs, or Tekram?  The Captain has sent Commander Odan and Security Officer Davis to locate the small child and bring him back.

But will they find him before something bad happens?  Maybe he's already gone.  Or maybe he was never here in the first place.  Was he just an illusion?  Will the CEO find a way to re-power the portal?  Or will they be stuck living the rest of their lives on Tekram?

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Huron in … “Between the Shadows”, Chapter Twelve, “Choices” ... Stardate 10611.18

<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Tries to convert the Tekram weapon and the phaser in order to get the power to work the portal controls.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens:  I know who the seed is.  It is Aga's wife!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Just outside building with Bee, trying to get a good scan of the local system’s star field before the adrenaline runs out.::

ACTION:  The 2nd orb drops on the floor and rolls toward the Chief Engineering Officer.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  Are you sure?  But if you're wrong ... ::frowns.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens:  But wait it can't be that simple.  There has to be a catch somewhere.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks at the orb as it rolls towards her.::  Self:  Oh no, not again. ::Kicks it away.::

ACTION:  The orb bounces off the wall and rolls back toward the CEO.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens:  No, I am sure it is her.

ACTION:  Outside on the Tekram planet, there are no stars that are recognized by the CTO's tricorder.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: By the wastes, this stinks.  
Bee: No go, let's get back.  ::Turns back to close up the opening before strength runs out.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sees the orb rolling back again and decides to ignore it for the moment.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Takes the remaining security people with him to close the remaining doors.::

Shico says:
@FCO:  Did I hear my name mentioned?

ACTION:  The Chief Tactical Officer is growing weak.  His vibrant blue color is beginning to fade a pale blue, and the adrenaline shot is slowly starting to wear off.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::When Bee gets through the opening, puts the "door" back in place, then leans on Bee to get back to the main camp.::  Bee: Thanks, had to try and find where we were.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Pulls what looks like the power pack from the Tekram weapon and examines the workings.::

ACTION:  The CEO is zapped with an electrical current from the Tekram weapon.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Something dawns on her.:: Dr. Stevens: What if it had something to do with the writing itself like you have to step or say it right.  ::Looks at Shico.::

Shico says:
@::Looks at the markings on the temple.::  FCO:  This temple is evil.  Nothing good can come from this.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Shico: Yes I did mention your name.

Shico says:
@FCO:  What would you like me to do?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Drops the weapon and sits.:: Self: Ouch! That stings.

ACTION:  The CEO has a nice red burn mark on her right palm.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Shico: No, quite the contrary.  From logical deduction, I have figured that you are the seed and with the right combination of steps or words in order you can open the temple.

Shico says:
@FCO:  No, thank you.  I saw what it did to your Doctor Kender.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO: Were you able to see anything that hinted at how large this place is?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Limp drags himself back inside, back to the place where I could prop myself up, then sits as cautiously as I can.::  Bee: Get your nose about the cells, see if you can smell any food.  Have to feed the flock until you're ready to slaughter them.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  No, Sir, sorry.  Was trying to get a look at where we were.  With the dark and all, I don't think I'd be able to even have guessed.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Shico: No, I really mean it.  Look at it like this, your husband went willingly to guide our team to the door way.  You stated that the Tekram took your son.  I have a feeling that your son still lives but your willingness to help us and give the Chief Engineering Officer and me a place to hide.

Shico says:
@FCO:  I will do as you say, but I fear for our safety.  ::Walks over to the temple again and looks at the markings on the walls.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Shico:  So logically speaking your family is the seed of the temple to open it with the correct steps or incantation.  It is basic logic.  With what the Doctor said about Heaven, seed, and Hell made me think.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Shico: Take your time and read it carefully and if you don't understand then stop and I will help you.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: I did try and see was if I could locate us using astronomy, but I couldn't get any of the stars in the sky identified to try and triangulate where we are.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Looks at the Doctor,:: Dr. Stevens: You agree?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO: Maybe I'll have a look around.  I might be able to find some sort of communications system, or some sort of transportation.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  I agree to look, but not to touch.  I don't think we should mess with technology we don't understand.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO: Maybe even find where those orbs are coming from and neutralize them.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Take Scoo with you.  Would be good to put his nose looking for supplies.  If we can't find a quick way home, we're going to need supplies.  In a few hours I'll try another adrenaline shot, see if I can get something accomplished.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Kicks the Tekram weapon to the side and then looks at the orb again.:: Orb: Are you going to be nice this time if I touch you?  ::Doesn't really expect an answer.::

Shico says:
@ALL:  I recognize this passage.  My mother used to say this to me at night when I was a little girl.  She made me memorize the words.  I didn't know why at the time.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens:  Our team is on the other side of the portal and the only way in is this temple.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  There's nothing to say that this temple will get us to their world, Ensign.  I'd be careful with your logic.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Gingerly picks it up and rolls it over in her hands.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  And if you're looking for the source, take Angeltra as well.  He's not quite as good an Engineer as the Chief of course, but he's the best Tech in Tactical by far.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Smiles and nods.::  Shico:  Good, I am pleased that you do remember them.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO: Very well.  ::Looks over at Scoo and Angeltra and motions for them to come with him.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  And Captain, be careful.  We don't know how many of those probes are out there, or even who is sending them.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Taps his combadge.:: CTO: We'll keep a channel open.

Shico says:
@::Continues to scan the readings.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Notices something that looks like a crack and tries to pry it open without much luck.::  Self:  Where's a Klingon when you need one?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods and reaches up for the combadge.::  *CO*: Check one, two.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: If I weren't so sure I would not even have mentioned my reasoning at all.  Look, our teams are gone and they need us to open the portal so they can get back.  It is the only way.  My mother made me take a class in the Academy on Betazed in Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics.  This is Ancient Egyptian and I am sure on this.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Hears the CEO.::  CEO:  Is there something I can help you with Commander?

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  I hope you are right, Ensign, because if you are not, this temple may open a portal to another world we may not want to go to.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Grabs the phaser.::  Self:  Hmm, maybe this will work.  ::Forces the edge of the phaser against the crack and pushes.::

ACTION:  The orb splits in two revealing some active electrical circuits.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Grunts at the Captain.:: CO: Thanks sir, but I think I've got it.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: You said it yourself.  A gateway to Hell.  So if I am right she will open the portal with the right series of incantation.

Shico says:
@ALL:  It's a ritual from many ages ago, passed down by the ancients.  I think I know what it is I'm supposed to do here.  ::Places her hands over the handprint symbols.::  Out loud:  domine o venite o sacramentum (disces m)eo deo.  Dia linn.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles at what she sees.:: Self: This looks interesting.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO: Very well.  If you make any progress contact me, and we'll be right back.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Motions for Scoo and Angeltra to follow along.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Stands and watches ready to grab Shico if anything does go wrong.::

Scoo and Angeltra says:
::Follow the Captain.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Peaks out the door to the left hallway to see if anything is out there.::

@ACTION:  The ground around the temple begins to tremble, and a hidden doorway begins to slide to the left revealing a passageway into the temple.  The temple is dark with no lighting.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Keeping her balance as the ground rocks.:: Dr. Stevens:  See I told you.  ::All her Betazoid abilities are tuned on tightly.::

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  Look!  She did it.  The doorway is opening.  It looks dark in there.  ::Brings out a tricorder.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Runs her tricorder over the circuits and reads the findings.::  Self:  Hm, good power reading. I wonder if I can......:: looks at the console.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Shico: You are the seed and you did do it right.  This is the entrance to the temple.  We need torches.

@ACTION:  Several snakes slither past the Flight Control Officer and Chief Medical Officer out of the temple.

@ACTION:  Shico appears to be dazed and in a trance.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Does not move.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Any luck yet?

@ACTION:  There is a sound coming from the back of the temple of a liquid trickling.  The trickling is heard along the walls and if you look up you can see a trough running along the walls of the temple and it is filling with the liquid.  It stops when it reaches the top of the trough.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Moves outside into the hallway cautiously and then closes the door as soon as the others are out also.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Walks over to Shico and taps her lightly on the shoulder.::  Shico: You okay?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Places the orb circuitry into the console.::  CTO:  I think I may have found a power source.  Keep your antennae crossed dear.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Takes out her tricorder and begins to scan.::

ACTION:  The building begins to shake again.  Tricorder scans reveal it’s another tremor.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Presses himself up against the wall as the tremor runs its course.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: It looks like this liquid that is falling into the trough is a liquid that we can use to ignite the torches.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Reaches up and taps the console control.::  Self:  Oh orb, do your thing.  ::Pushes hard.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Icky, I think I've got. Contact the Captain.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Slowly moves down the corridor meqleth at the ready.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Forces a smile and holds eyes open.::  CEO: That's .. don't cross my antenna. Andorians think crossing them is bad luck.  Not quite as bad as seismic quakes, though.

ACTION:  The orb begins to interface with the console.  The console appears to be temporarily charged.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*:  Captain, Commander Sparks thinks she has something.
Bee:  Give me your shoulder again, buddy.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Icky, it's not going last long.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@::Runs a tricorder.::  FCO:  I think you're on to something.  Uses his phaser to light the liquid.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Waits beside Shico patiently.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CTO*:  Already?  All I had to do was leave the room.  We'll be right there.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens:  What if this liquid runs the full length of the tunnel to the door?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Climbs up and rests on Bee's shoulder, moving to the console.::  *CO*: Got charge on the console, but it probably won't last long.  If we wanna try it, we'll have to go quick.

@ACTION:  The liquid is ignited and a fire flows along the trough illuminating the temple.  At the back of the temple there is a sarcophagus, and the temple is adorned with ancient artifacts made of latinum, gold, and silver and dressed with gems.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  He's on his way.  Let's hope that this trip is about to end.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens:  Look!!!  Holy rings of Betazed.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Quickly returns to the portal room.::

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@Out loud:  Look at all those gems.  And the latinum, gold and silver!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  He's back.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Shico: Please answer me.  Are you alright?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  But Commander Odan...she's still searching for the child.

@ACTION:  Shico does not respond to the FCO.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*: Commander, we may have the portal open temporarily.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Holds the control down.:: CTO/CO: Quickly. I can't hold the power relay.

ACTION:  The console has only enough charge for 2 persons to go through.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: I think you need to take a look at Shico.  It looks like she is in a trance.

ACTION:  The XO does not respond to the comm.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO:  Captain, the power is dropping.  If you're going to go, it's now or never sir!

ACTION:  A temporary portal is established from Tekram to Lemarac.  There is only enough power to keep the portal open for about a minute.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO: You take Commander Ec'Thel'Ion and go.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Sir, you have to go and tell Starfleet about this place. I'll try and hold it open as long as I can.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Starts to open his mouth to argue before realizing he can't even stand without help.::  CO:  Sir, I can't leave the group.  I have to...I can't...

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO: You can do that as well as I, Commander.  I am not leaving without all of my crew!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO:  Besides sir, you need to get Icky out, now.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@::Walks back over to Shico, and helps her to lay down.::  FCO:  I think she's in shock.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO: Take Commander Ec'Thel'Ion and go Commander. That's an order!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO:  Forgive me sir, but I'm the only one that can fix this thing.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: The incantation might have opened up a locked door in her subconscious as well.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO: I have some experience with Engineering Commander, now go!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO:  Sorry sir, but I'm about to disobey you.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  I'm not sure.  The tricorder is picking up heightened neural activity in her brain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO:  An engineer is expendable but a Captain isn't.  ::Looks at Icky.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Drops Phaser and Tricorder for the others.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO:  Commander, I won't leave a member of my crew behind.  ::Draws his phaser.::  NOW GO!

Scoo says:
CO/ CEO: Send Barium, he can carry message.

Barium says: 
::Glares at Scoo for the suggestion.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves behind Icky and whispers.::  CTO: I love you.  ::Pushes him into the Captain and to the portal entrance.::

ACTION:  The portal sucks up the Captain and Chief Tactical Officer and they are pushed into the portal.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Stumbles into the portal entrance.::

ACTION:  The portal closes behind them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Collapses to the ground.::  Self: It's not over yet.

ACTION:  The Captain and Chief Tactical Officer are in the cave where they first entered the Tekram world.

Barium says:
Scoo:  Next time you suggest I leave a team behind, I'm going to put flees in your uniform.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@ALL:  QIvatlh!  Of all the stubborn... I'll have her head for this!

ACTION:  The Tekram world is silent, almost eerily silent.  There are no sounds of animals.  There are no signs of other probes.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: Her condition? Is it permanent or will she revive?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: If it's worth a half credit, it caught me by surprise as well.  ::Rolls over onto back.::  W-where are...is this where we left from?

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  The neural activity is almost like that of a dream state.  But she's awake.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Gets back to the console and examines the orb circuitry.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Looks over at the Chief Tactical Officer lying on his back.  Growling.::  CTO: Let’s get you to sickbay.  ::Picks the Chief Tactical Officer up and heads out of the cave::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Thinks.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO:  Aye Sir.  I think I'm starting to hallucinate.  Hearing some weird noises or something.

ACTION:  The power that is lighting the Tekram building appears to be dying.  The temperature inside the building appears to be dropping steadily.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: And it's hot as Vulcan here.  Was it this warm when we left?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Hears noise coming from some strange building.::

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  I would like to transport her back to the ship, but I'm afraid we're going to need her.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@CTO: You've probably got a fever.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: What if I tried to step into her mind.  Something like a mental bridge.  Maybe I can see what is happening in her subconscious?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@COMM: Q'tor to the Huron. Come in.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@FCO:  I'm sorry, but without knowing what effects that would have on her, I would  not advise it.  It could do harm to her, possibly even to you.  I think our answer is in the temple.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: Great, just what I need.  ::Fighting to keep words from slurring.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: May be through that I can help.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Places the tricorder against the orb then shivers.::  Self:  Ooo it's getting colder.

Huron – Lt. James says: 
$*CO*:  Captain, this is Lt. James.  Is that really you?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: Well you are the doctor.

Angeltra says:
Scoo: Okay, let's get back to the search the Captain wanted to do.  Might find more power sources.
Bee: You and Barium keep this area secure.  If we run into any problems, we need a fall back point.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@*Huron*: Yes it's me.  Is everything alright up there?

Angeltra says:
CEO: If you have any problems, give us a shout.  We'll try and find you some more power.

Huron – Lt. James says:
$*CO*:  We are fine here.  We have a message out to Starfleet that you were missing.  I'll let them know you are okay.  There's an away team on the surface.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Stops for a moment and rubs her hands.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@*Huron*: Commander Ec’Thel’Ion is badly injured.  Lock onto his signal and beam him directly to sickbay.

Huron – Lt. James says:
@*CO*:  Right away, Captain.  ::Locks onto the Chief Tactical Officer, and beams him directly to sickbay.::

Barium says:
::Takes a Phaser and heats a chunk of metal.::  CEO: This should help some, but not sure how cold this place gets.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@*Huron*: Where is the away team from my position?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CO: No, Sir...I need to find...  ::Transports to the Huron.::

$ACTION:  The Chief Tactical Officer is beamed to sickbay, and the doctors and nurses rush to his side to treat him.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Barium: Thanks, but I can't let the cold stop us.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Is rocked by a new presence.:: Dr. Stevens:  The captain's back.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@Dr. Stevens: I can sense his presence.

Huron – Lt. James says:
$*CO*:  They are right outside the cave, Captain.  About 100 feet from your location.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
$::Mumbled.:: Doctors: I need to go back, she's in danger.  Patch me up...::Pauses and takes a few breaths.::  and send me back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Blows on her hands and then tries a new connection.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@*Huron*: Very well. Q'tor out.

Doctor Phil says: 
$::Pats the Chief Tactical Officer on the shoulder.::  CTO:  It's okay, Commander.  I'm going to get you patched up.  But you're not going anywhere until I do.

Angeltra says:
::Starts searching the area outside the camp room, looking for power sources or consumables.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Thinks as she works.:: Self: I hope they're alright.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Makes his way over to the temple where he hears the noise coming from and looks inside.::

Doctor Phil says: 
$::Runs a medical tricorder over him.::  CTO:  You've lost some blood, and you seem to have a fever.  I need to know if you've taken anything in the past 48 hours, any hypos?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@CO: Good to see you, sir.

@ACTION:  The Captain sees Shico lying on the ground in a trance.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@CO:  How are the others?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
$Phil: Uh, Commander Odan treated me, some antibiotics, and an adrenaline shot about 2 hours ago.  Not sure if there was anything else.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@CO: Yes she is the one that figured would be the answer to the question of who is the seed that would open the temple.

Doctor Phil says: 
$CTO:  I'm going to give you an analgesic/antibiotic hypo to reduce the fever.  You also have some internal bleeding.  So I'm treating you for that as well.  I'm going to seal this wound on your shoulder.  Lay still.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::In a not good mood.::  FCO:  What's going on here?  I need to get the portal opened back up. We still have people over there!

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@CO: And the others, sir.  ::stops asking:: Yes, sir, we are trying to get the portal open from the temple.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Drops the tricorder.:: Barium:  Can you find something metallic?  A small magnetic stone or something.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
$::Unable to argue, falls back down on the biobed.::

Barium says:
CEO: Yes, ma'am, you mean a magnet, or something that will attract to one?

Barium says:
::Pulls field knife.::  CEO: If it's just something metal, this should work.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Barium: Yes, something to act as a counterweight yet offset the power influx.

Dr. Phil says:
$::Begins to treat the Chief Tactical Officer for the dislocated shoulder, and cracked ribs.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
@::Not liking what is going on, she walks into the temple.::

Barium says:
::Drops the knife and starts looking for a magnet.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Watches Shico do whatever it is she's doing.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Hopes this isn't her last attempt.::

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@CO:  We are not able to establish the portal from the cave.  The only way we "think" we can establish the portal is through the temple. Unless they can re-establish it from the other side.
