Mission Prologue:  

Last week on Huron …

The CEO managed to activate a portal home, but she was only able to keep the portal open for a minute before it collapsed and they lost all chances of getting home.  With some of the team members out of comm range, the CEO also discovered that the portal was only strong enough to send two people through.

The Captain gave a direct order to send the CEO and CTO through the portal, but the CEO disobeyed and pushed the Captain and CTO through the portal which closed as they passed through.

And now as the temperatures begin to drop on the Tekram world, one can only hope that the CEO will find a way to open another portal home.  The CEO has saved her beloved CTO and Captain, but can she find a way to save herself and the rest of the team?

Meanwhile back on Lemarac, the FCO discovers that Shico is the key to opening the temple.  But as the doors to the temple open, Shico is trapped in a trance.

The away team believes the temple holds the key to open the portal, but will it open the portal to the Tekram world, or will it open to a world of greater chaos and fear?  Or maybe it's not even a key to a portal.  Maybe it's just a tomb with a lot of fancy pictures and writings on it.

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Huron in … “Between the Shadows”, Chapter Thirteen, “There's no place like home” ... Stardate 10611.25

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Working on the portal device using a small magnetic rock on the circuit.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Continuing to walk inside the temple following the lights to the inside chambers and to what awaits her.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Running towards the location where the rest of the AT was before she left, with Xavier in her arms and Davis in front of her.::

ACTION:  The walls have more hieroglyphics on them.  There is a table that has some glowing gems on it.  They are attached to the table but can be turned.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@::With CEO, trying to find a way to power up the gateway.::  CEO: Will it help if we can find some more of the power packs?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
Self: Wonder if I turn them in the proper sequence would they open the portal?

@ACTION:  As the XO, Xavier and Davis approach the CEO's position, a portal opens up in front of Davis, and a Tekram soldier exits the portal.  He injects Davis with something and then shoves him toward the XO.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  What IS this place anyway?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Reading the hieroglyphics.::

Tekram says: 
@XO:  Tell your Captain that we'll be seeing him later.

@ACTION:  The Tekram soldier exits through the portal and the portal collapses.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Fires at the soldier trying to protect Xavier with her other hand.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Bends down and adjusts the magnetic stone.::  Barium: Is anything happening up there?

Davis says: 
@::Scratches his neck where he was injected with something.::  XO:  What was that he did to me?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: This is the temple of the Chosen ones.  I believe with the right combination of colors of the gems it will open the portal.  It also might be a transport mechanism between worlds.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@Davis: Try to stay awake. I believe they injected you the same sedative they injected me earlier.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Hears weapons fire.:: Barium: Better see what that is all about.

ACTION:  The doorway to the temple starts to close.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Well then what are you waiting for?  Open the portal!

Barium says:
@CEO: Not that I can see, Commander.  Should we go and see...  ::Turns towards the sound of fire and moves off, waving Scoo and Bee to follow.::

Davis says:
@XO:  I don't feel sleepy.  Not at all.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Sees the door and runs over to it to try and hold it back.::  Door:  Oh know you don't!

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir it is not that simple I have to decipher the writings on the wall first.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@::Takes a few steps towards the sound of weapons fire, and sets himself with Phaser drawn between the noise of weapons and the CEO.::

ACTION:  The Captain struggles to keep the door open, but the door slams shut on him.  The CO and FCO are now trapped inside the temple.

Davis says:
@XO:  Is there anything on my neck?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Quickly looks at Davis' neck as she aims her weapon around.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
Self: Oh great now we’re trapped.  ::Goes back to her reading and trying to get the right combination.::

Host Davis says:
@XO:  I get the feeling they won't be back.  What is it?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Yells.:: quyvatlh!  I've just about had it with this place.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@Davis: You have rash. We'll have the doctors look at it when we get back. Let's get going.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Hollers.:: Heut'eugh...Captain please!

Barium says:
@::Arrives at the XO's Location with Scoo and Bee.::  XO: Commander, we heard weapons fire, is everything OK?

ACTION:  The temple starts to tremble.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Looks up as Barium leaves.:: Angeltra: Ever wish you could just click your heels together and disappear?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says: 
::Rocks and keeps her balance.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Pulls his phaser and points it at the door.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Resumes her run towards where the AT was last.:: Davis: Let's go!

Host Davis says:
@TO:  One of those Tekram opened up a portal and injected me with something.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: Sir NOOOOOOOOO wait.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Continues to read as she studies the gems and begins to turn them one at a time.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: No ma'am, not until we got pulled here.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Turns to the FCO and yells.:: FCO:  Get that portal open now!

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: Sir!!!!! If I don't use the right combination I will be opening the gate to Hell!!!

Barium says:
@Davis: OK, we have to get you back then.  You feeling Okay?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Pulls out something that looks like an isolinear chip.:: Angeltra: See this?  ::Holds up the chip.:: Think reversing the polarity might work?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: If you think that Grethor is bad this is ten times worse.

Host Davis says:
@TO:  Yeah, I actually feel okay.  I just itch around the area where they injected me with something.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Re-keys the gems again.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: Won't hurt, works for reconfiguring the Tractor beam emitters.  But isn't the power source the problem?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: I wouldn't know about ghre'thor, but unless you want to find out I suggest you stop talking to me and start getting that portal open.  I want my crew back!

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
   CO: You want your crew back?  I want all my crew members back, sir.  ::Keys in    
   another sequence hoping that this is the right one.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Do not try my patience, Ensign.  It is already stretched very thin.  ::Turns and goes back to the door and starts examining it.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Still holding a shocked Xavier.:: CEO: Where are the others?  ::Looks around.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
Self: Sheesh he is in a very bad mood.

ACTION:  All the lights on the FCO's console go dark.

Xavier says:
@XO: I want my mommy.  ::Starts to cry.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@TO: Well, something has to work. I'm going to give it a try. Watch the orb circuits while I reverse the polarity. If this works it should recharge the circuit.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@Xavier: We will find her.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@CEO: Where are the others? Have they found a way to return to the ship?

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@XO: Welcome back, Commander.  Captain and Commander Ec'Thel'Ion were...::Coughs::  Encouraged to go through the gateway before it lost power.

ACTION:  As the CEO reverses the polarity, the circuits begin to recharge .. slowly.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Hears the Commander.:: XO: Welcome back, Commander.  Kind of busy at the moment.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
Outloud: Heut'uegh.  Captain you made me do a booboo and I don’t know if I can get it back online now.  You and your impatience.  ::Goes back to the table and examines it from underneath.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@TO: Oh.... encouraged?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@CEO: Need help to activate the portal, Commander?

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: Good initiative, guess that's why I'm just a weapons tech.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Nudges the Tactical Officer to be careful.::

@ACTION:  Xavier throws up down the Executive Officer’s back.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@XO: Well, let's just say the Captain probably wasn't happy about it, but if it'll be worth it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@XO: I think we have it under control at the moment ma'am. Besides you seem to have your hands full.  ::Smiles at the boy.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Looking carefully she finds a bunch of wires and decides to hotwire the console.::

Xavier says:
@XO:  I feel better now.  But I'm hungry.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Feels something hot and liquid going down her back.:: Xavier: Mmm... ah... it'll be okay, kid...

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@CEO: And now I have my back full too....

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@::Looks about for a towel of some kind, ends up pulling off his tunic.::  XO: This should help, Commander.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Sniffs the air.::  All:  Anyone smell something weird?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Then it dawns on her that the sequence she used should have been done in the opposite sequence.::

ACTION:  As the Flight Control Officer plays with the wires under the console, she gets a shock and her hair starts to curl, but the console springs back to life.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
OutLoud: Yeeeooowwwwwww that smart.

Host Davis says:
@CEO:  I think that console is charging.  It's starting to light up.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: What can I do to help?  And no, I don't smell anything unaccounted for.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Getting back up she enters the sequence but this time in reverse.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Davis: Good. I am counting on that.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Takes the tunic.:: TO: Thanks.

ACTION:  The temple stops shaking, and the door slides open about an inch and then stops.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@TO: Let me know when all the panel is lit.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@Xavier: I'll put you down now.  ::Puts the kid down next to her.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Looks around for something to use as a lever.::

@ACTION:  The console is 1/4 of the way powered.

Xavier says:
@XO:  I'm hungry.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Sniffs again.:: All: Okay, someone is really stinky here.  ::Wrinkles her nose.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Waits to see if she entered it correctly again.::

Xavier says:
@::Looks at everyone.::  ALL:  I didn't do it, I promise.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Grabs the door and pulls with everything he's got to open it.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: Got about 25% powered up so far.

ACTION:  The door does not budge.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@Xavier: We have nothing to eat right now. You'll need to be patient.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Removes her tunic and puts the one the TO gave her.  Then throws her stinky tunic as far away as possible.::

Host Davis says:
@CEO:  Is there a way we can boost the power supply to make it go faster?

Scoo says:
@::Sniffs himself, then shrugs.::  XO: We have rations, not many, but some.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Shrugs and looks at Angeltra.:: TO: Okay, I'm going to increase the flow rate, if I can.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@Scoo: Is there a little something you could give to Xavier?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Now she tries the sequence in prime numbers according to the colors and re-keys it in.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Davis: Well you could try sitting on it.  ::Chuckles.::

@ACTION:  The flow rate begins to increase and the console is now 1/2 charged.

Host Davis says:
@::Grins at her.::  CEO:  If I thought it would get us home any quicker, you know I would do it just for you, Commander.  ::Smiles.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: Okay Commander, but be careful.  While it might save you some trouble with the Captain, Commander Ec'Thel'Ion will kill me if you so much as get a sunburn.  Console's to about half power.

Scoo says:
@XO: Yes, Ma'am.  ::Hands a ration bar to Xavier.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Finds a pole and sticks it in the door opening and pulls again.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Seeing it doesn't work, she keys in a new set of colors.::

ACTION:  The pole snaps in two.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@TO: If I don't open that portal, it won't matter.

ACTION:  The temple ceiling begins to light up with star charts.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Davis: Davis, stand near the portal and watch for any sign of it opening.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@ALL: It should smell a bit better now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@CEO: Things are coming along?

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@Scoo/ Bee: Start thinking of ways to find food, but don't go anywhere.
CEO: We'll find a way, or they'll find us.  Gotta keep ourselves hopeful.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Getting a bit testy now she bangs out a new set of colors.::

Host Davis says:
@CEO:  Okay.  I'll let you know the minute I see anything happening.  ::Walks to the portal entrance.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::See's the ceiling and begins looking it over.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Ensign, do you have a tricorder with you?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@ALL: I agree with you, Ensign Angeltra. The others are surely trying to rescue us. Let's keep our hopes up.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
OutLoud: Wait a sec.  What if these gems respond like a star chart?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: Yes, sir, I do.  ::Hands him the tricorder.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Sets her spanner to a new frequency.:: TO: Power reading!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Activates the tricorder and begins recording the star charts.::

ACTION:  The console is powered to 3/4.

Host Davis says:
@CEO:  I think the portal is starting to form.  But it still needs more power.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: It's at about 75%.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@TO: Something is happening here. I'm getting vibrations now.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Looking at the wall near the ceiling she sees the colors etched in the ceiling and absently keys in the colors according to what she sees on the ceiling.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: Vibrations?  What kind of vibrations?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Davis: Can you see anything yet?

ACTION:  The star chart on the ceiling of the temple displays the Delta Quadrant and a portal begins to open.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@CEO: Maybe the vibrations are a sign it is opening?

@ACTION:  The console is completely charged and the portal opens back to Lemarac.

Host Davis says:
@CEO:  I think you did it!  Portal established.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@TO: Looks like the controls may be overloading. ::Looks at the Executive Officer.:: We could hope.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@CEO: Is it safe you think?  Wait, full power, and the portal is open!  Let's go!

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::T'Lar is transfixed as she is keying in the rest of the coordinates.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Sits up.:: XO: Commander, go through quickly!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Goes to the portal and looks at it to see what's on the other side.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: Sir, I think I have found something much greater here.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Greater than what?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Stands up and waits for the others to move as she checks the console control.:: All: Hurry, power is beginning to drop again.

ACTION:  Through the portal, the Captain can see a planet that does not look like the Tekram planet home world.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: I don't know, sir.  I can feel that it is greater and more important.  ::Still looking at the combinations on the ceiling and keying in the rest of them::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
@::Takes Xavier and goes through the portal.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@::Rushes the others through.::  CEO: I'm taking drag, go ma'am.

ACTION:  One by one the crew go through the portal, until just the Tactical Officer and Davis are left to go through.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  This doesn't look like the same place.  You opened the wrong portal.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ TO: We go together. C'mon. ::Grabs his arm.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO:  Patience, sir.  ::Continues to enter in the sequences from the ceiling.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@TO: Grab Davis!  ::Starts through.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
@::Jumps with the CEO, grabbing Davis as well.::

ACTION:  All crew are transported to the Lemarac home world.  The portal behind them closes.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
*Huron*: Away Team to Huron, do you copy?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
ALL: Lemarac?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
ALL: Everyone okay and here?

Huron says: 
#*TO*:  This is Lieutenant Johnson.  Away team?  Is everyone okay?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Stops short and lets Angeltra go.:: XO: I think we're good, Commander.

ACTION:  As the FCO enters the sequence, the portal closes and a new portal opens.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
::Smiles.::  *TO Johnson*: We're fine, we just made our way back.  We'll call once we're out of the cave and ready to beam up.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Closing her eyes she pictures the balance of the star charts and their corresponding sequences and begins to enter them in faster and faster almost as if her hands were guided by some force unseen.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Pats the Tactical Officer’s back.:: TO: I think you just earned a promotion for that. ::Smiles.::

ACTION:  The portal appears to be the portal to Lemarac.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CEO: Great work, Commander.  Now let's find our way back to the ship and find Xavier's mother.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
CEO: I'd rather just get back to my workshop.  ::Smiles.::  But glad to be back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Commander, we need to get out of this cave.

ACTION:  The Executive Officer's team can hear the portal opening up again.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: Sir Lemarac portal has been opened to the cave, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
ALL: Let's head out. Keep your eyes and hears opened. As well as your weapons ready.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Wait!  That looks familiar!

10100 says: 
#Johnson: Better call...

00101 says: 
 #Johnson: The captain.

Host Davis says:
::Turns around with his phaser pointed to the portal.::  XO:  Ma'am.  We've got company.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns as she hears something.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Davis: Indeed. Don't shoot too fast in case it's friends and not foes...

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Her brain is beginning to tire.::  Outloud: Captain, sir, that is the portal where the Away team is, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Xavier: Come here and stay close.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
::Turns and points Phaser.::

Host Davis says:
XO:  It looks like them, but .. how do we know?

Xavier says:
::Stands next to the Executive Officer..::  XO:  I'm sorry about your shirt.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: But that's the cave where Commander Ec'Thel'Ioin and I came out!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Does the Captain look like he's ready to kill a certain Chief Executive Officer?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: I know the rest of the Away Team is in that cave, sir. I can sense them

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Xavier: Don't worry, I'll get a new one. At least you are feeling better.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: How did they..... Commander Sparks must have been able to open the portal once again.

ACTION:  The doctor and Shico come into the cave.  Shico appears to be out of her trance.  She notices her son.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CEO: Not sure... I'm not very good at reading Klingon ridges...

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Come with me

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
CEO: Don't worry, we're not a Klingon ship.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
CO: Sir I have to keep the portal open, sir.

Shico says: 
Xavier:  Xavier!  Is that you?  ::Runs and picks up her son hugging him.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Can see the Captain’s face.:: All: Oh that's him alright. I've seen that look before. ::Gulps.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Steps through the portal::  XO:  Commander Odan?

ACTION:  The Captain comes through the portal into the cave.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CO: Sir? Glad to see you again, sir.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Keeping her hands on the gems and keeping the portal open is beginning to tell on her psyche.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
::Looks at the Chief Engineering Officer and the Captain, hoping that if there is something to settle, it'll wait.::

Stevens says:
CO:  Captain?  But how did you?  ::Looks outside the cave.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Takes a deep breath and nods::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Whispers.:: TO: You got room for one more in that workshop of yours?

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
::Puts Phaser away.::  Scoo/ Bee: Let's keep eyes open, the Tekram came here before.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
::Laughs, then whispers.::  CEO: I think he'd still find you.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CO: Thanks to Commander Sparks’ work, we were able to make our way here. ::Smiles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
TO: You're probably right. ::Sighs.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::With all the strength she has T'Lar lunges through the portal and lands on the floor in a complete meltdown.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO:  A fact that is responsible for my not tearing out your kidneys right now.

ACTION:  The Flight Control Officer exits the portal into the cave and the portal closes behind her.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles.:: CO: Understood, sir.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO: We will speak later.

Stevens says:
CO/FCO:  Do you both mind telling me how you got in here?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CO: We better focus on the task at hand. It seems Xavier found his mother. I suggest we find our way home. Unless, you have already found it, sir?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Lays on the floor in a complete daze.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Stevens: Ensign Bishara opened a portal through the temple.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
CO: Sir, that wouldn't be a good move.  It was my fault, she tripped over my gear and bumped into you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: I suggest destroying the portal controls from this side, as a safety measure so no one else can reactivate them.

Host Stevens says:
CO:  That's what I was going to tell you.  That's why I came into the cave.  The temple is gone.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
TO_Angeltra: You would do well to not lie to me again Ensign, and stay out of this.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Winks at Angeltra.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Stevens: Good!  Good riddance to it.  Maybe the Tekram will be unable to return here now.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
CO: Sir, just stating facts, sir.

Stevens says:
::Helps the Flight Control Officer up.::  FCO:  That was a brave thing you did. Are you okay?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Commander, I suggest we move out.  I want to get back to the ship as soon as possible.

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Looks totally out of it and has a glazed look in her eyes.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
ALL: Everyone gather and let's move out.

Host Davis says:
::Starts to scratch his neck.::  Stevens:  Can you give me something for this itch?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: Have Ensign Bishara beamed up top sickbay.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
::Heads to Xavier and his mother.:: Xavier: Good luck, Xavier. You were a brave boy. ::Hugs him.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Starts to lead the way out of the cave.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CO: Aye... ::Looks for Bishara.:: She doesn't look well at all...

Shico says:
XO:  Thank you for finding my son.  Where's Aga?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Stops at hearing the question about Aga.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Suddenly shouts.:: Out Louod:  Nooooo I have to get my crew out of there please.............

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Shico: I'm sorry to tell you, ma'am, that your husband didn't make it. But I was told he died bravely. I'm deeply sorry.

Stevens says:
::Helps the Flight Control Officer up.::  FCO:  It's okay.  Everyone is safe now.  You got the portal open that saved you and the Captain.  And everyone is safe.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Shico: Your husband died as a warrior.  He will be remembered with honor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Follows the crowd slowly wondering if Icky made it back alright.::

Shico says:
::Collapses on the floor with her head in her hands.::  Self:  Aga!

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Doesn't hear the doctor and struggles to go back towards where the temple was.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
Scoo/ Bee: Reset Phasers to Maximum Explosive decompression.  On Captain's orders, we blast the controls on this side, then we'll have a torpedo seal this place for good.
CO: Captain, shall we destroy the controls?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
::Kneels down Shico.:: Shico: You need to be brave. Your son needs you.

Shico says:
::Dries her eyes, and looks at her son who is crying.::  XO:  Thank you for bringing him back to me.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
TO: Do it!

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
::Nods to Scoo and Bee, then opens fire on the controls.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Shico/Xavier: Take care of one another. I must go now.

Shico says:
::Walks out of the cave with her son, following Davis and Stevens.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Watches as Angeltra gives the order.::

Shico says:
XO:  The Tekram?  Will they come back?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Struggles some more and suddenly collapses in the doctors arms.::

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
*Huron*: I'm leaving my comm badge at the gate opening.  Once we beam up and the area's clear, beam down a torpedo and seal the cave permanently.  ::Sets Comm badge at opening and walks out with the others.::

ACTION:  As the away team leaves the cave, Angeltra's fire destroys the console that opens the portal to the Tekram home world.

Stevens says:
FCO:  Whoa!  I think maybe we need to get you to sickbay!

Huron says:
#*TO*:  Understood, is your team ready to beam up?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
::Walks out as she takes a few seconds to ponder her answer to Shico's question.:: Shico: To tell you the truth, I do not know.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
CO: Huron is asking if we're ready to beam back up.  Once we do, this site will be given an Anti matter sealant.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks down to see that she is holding the magnetic stone.:: Self: How the heck?

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Weakly.:: Shico: No the Tekram will not be back.  The temple is gone and so is the control mechanism.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Shico: With the portals destroyed, the Tekram should be unable to return.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
TO: Beam everyone back up.  I will join you in a moment.

Scoo says:
ALL:  What 'bout Ferengi?

Shico says:
ALL:  Thank you all for what you have done.  Our planet is indebted to you all.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Shico:  If you would like I can arrange for the Federation to send you aide, and teach you to defend yourselves against the Tekram should they ever return.

TO_Ens_Angeltra says:
*Huron*: All but the Captain are ready, he'll be coming shortly.  Bee will cover him until he leaves.

Shico says:
CO:  That would be most appreciated, Sir.  We have no way of defending ourselves now.

ACTION:  All crew beam directly to the Huron sickbay, except Captain and Bee.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Shico:  Beware of the Ferengi, however.  They are using your people.

Shico says:
CO:  We only want to protect ourselves.  We mean no one any harm, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Finds herself back on the Huron in sickbay.:: All: Where's Commander Ec`Thel`lon?

Nurse says: 
CEO:  This way, Ma'am.  Right over here.  ::Points to the biobed where Icky is laying.::

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Arrives in sickbay on a bio bed still not altogether here in her head.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Shico: You will be able to. I promise.  Go with Honor.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Rushes to Icky's side.:: CTO: Icky, oh Icky, can you hear me?  ::Takes his hand.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Motions to Bee that he's ready to go.::

Shico says:
CO:  Thank you, Sir.  If you ever need a place to visit, you are always welcome here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Holly?  You're back?  How long have I been out?  What happened?  Why didn't they just patch me and let me go?!

FCO_Ens_Bishara says:
::Moaning incoherently.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Nods to Shico as he taps his combadge.:: COM: Huron: Q'tor to Huron. Two to beam up.

Huron says:
#*CO*: Acknowledged, Captain. Welcome home!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles.:: CTO: I'm here darling. Now don't talk. You're going to be fine. ::Rubs his forehead gently.::

ACTION:  The Captain and Bee beam directly to Huron's sickbay.  The cave entrance on Lemarac is torpedoed shut.
