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

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Walks around main engineering checking on her staff and making sure everything is up to snuff.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Setting in the chair going over reports.::

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Sits in his office in Sickbay, pouring over some paperwork.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Walking the ship, about to begin a full check of security status, starting with the special cargo in Sickbay.::

Q’ten says: 
CO: If the Federation wants the Pandorian warp technology, why don't they just take it from them?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::At his station on the bridge.::

CNS Talora says:
::Sits in her chair on the Bridge and looks around.:: XO: I can't help but be nervous about this whole mission.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Talora: There is nothing to be nervous about, with a baby sitting job.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Throws a chunk of meat to chopwI'.:: Q'ten: Because the Federation does not behave that way.  The Empire does not even behave that way anymore.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Scoo: Anything new from our cargo?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  How is our guest doing?  Has there been any complaints?

ACTION:  A live chicken flies out of the kitchen area and is attempting to get away from Dremel who is chasing it.  Dremel is leaping onto tables where people are sitting.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Signs off on the shift reports and hands engineering over to Martin before heading to the bridge.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: No, Sir. No complaints yet.

Security says: 
::Runs after Dremel trying to help him without destroying the lounge.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Self: Although that could change any minute.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS: Good.  Let’s hope it stays that way.

CNS Talora says:
XO: How much do we really know about Pandorian culture? And why wasn't the princess already on her own planet. I mean, they have ships, don't they?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hops into the nearest turbolift and waits for it to head for the bridge.::

Scoo says: 
CTO: Nothin' yet 'cept...well, noises.  But not noises.  In head.

Dremel says:
::Hops on a table and then onto a seat, knocking the table into the officers that are sitting there having lunch.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Talora: It is not our place to question our orders, Counselor; just to follow them.

CNS Talora says:
::Sighs to herself and looks the other way.::

Security says:
Dremel: Ambassador, you can't go jumping on tables like that.  You're going to hurt someone!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Besides, if the warp technology is as advanced as Starfleet believes it to be, then what other technology do they possess that we would have to face were we to 'take it' from them.

ACTION:  Dremel reaches his hand out and stabs the chicken with his fingers injecting something into the bird that falls onto the woman's lap that is sitting at the table.  The bird squawks, and then just falls over.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Stands up and walks back out towards the Casket Room.:: Scoo: Any news on our cargo?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: I think the mutt needs a trip to the vet, complaining he's hearing noises that ain't there.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  If nothing else, we will learn more about the Pandorians, which a true warrior is always willing to do.

Scoo says:
CTO: I'm hearin' fine!  It's just...things.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sends a Memo to Chief Medical Officer's console.::  The Admiral asked me to relay to you a message, informing you that you should expect Mr. Dremel to visit the casket frequently.  I think she just wanted to give you fair warning.  Ensign Riley.  End of Memo.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Arrives on the bridge and heads to the engineering console.::

ACTION:  The woman stands up and screams, brushing the bird on the floor.  The bird starts to turn a gray mushy color and the aroma of a decomposed bird begins to settle in the lounge.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Sees the Chief Engineering Officer enter.::  CEO:  How is engineering, Commander?

Security 1 says: 
Security 2: We are soooo dead.

Dremel says:
~~~Security:  Food almost ready to eat.  Want some?~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to Naug.:: XO: Running smoothly, Sir.

Security 2 says:
Dremel: Sorry, can't eat on duty.  Slows us down if something happens.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: I so loathe this assignment.  Use a passenger ship.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Well Commander, I suppose someone has to do the job.

Security 1 says:
Dremel: Sorry, ate just before shift.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: I suppose so.

Q’ten says:
CO: I thought if a warrior wanted to know about someone he defeated them in battle.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CTO: I've been hearing a few things here and there myself.  I'm sure he's fine.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Who told you that?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Anxious to spend more time with your family, Sir?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: That last part's debatable, but what kind of things you hearing?

Q’ten says:
::Shrugs.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles and pushes on a panel light.::

ACTION:  Dremel holds his hand over the decomposing chicken absorbing the nutrients into his body.  The remains of bones lay on the floor under the table.  Dremel's skin color turns to a brighter purple.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO:  A little, plus I never liked it just this quiet.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CTO: Almost like a whispering voice. Talora told me she was hearing the same thing. Seems to be a trend.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  A True warrior knows his enemies, or potential enemies.  Look at chopwI'.

Dremel says:
~~~Security:  What do your people eat?~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Around here it never stays quiet for long sir.  ::Chuckles.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Messing with his console, always fine tuning the ship's internal systems.::

Security 1 says:
*OPS*: Can we get a cleanup crew sent to the lounge?  Ambassador's feeding takes a bit of clean up, I guess.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: Always near the coffin?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*Security1*: Aye, Sir. Right away.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Hears the COM.::  *Security 1*: Is there a problem?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sends the work order out to the appropriate department, with a priority status.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  If chopwI' did not know the habits of her prey, how do you think she would be able to hunt.  She must know where to find her prey.  Where do they live?  Where do they feed and drink?  How do they respond to a threat?  She must know these things in order to hunt successfully.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Does a quick check of her console.::

Dremel says:
::Walks up to Security 1 and touches his COM badge.::  ~~~Security 1:  I want to have dinner with that one.  Is he hungry?~~~

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  So a warrior must know his enemy if he wishes to defeat him.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CTO: Hmm....I'm sure if I surveyed the crew, we could find out. But I don't think many people would hear it unless they were telepathic. Either that, or they're in close proximity to the casket.

Security 1 says:
*XO*: No problem, Sir.  But I think the Ambassador wants you to join him for dinner.

ACTION:  Those in sickbay can hear the voice of a female saying, Release me ... Release me ...

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: So much for quiet, right Sir? ::Smiles broadly at him.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*Security 1*:  Me?   I'll be there in a moment. Naug out.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: How...what in the frozen wastes was that?  ::Looks around for the source of the sound, noticing Scoo smirking.::

Medic says: 
::Breaks down crying.:: All: I can't deal with this! ::Runs out of sickbay, crashing into everything around her.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: I did not sign up for this.  Commander, you have the bridge.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Aye Sir, enjoy your lunch.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  When you face me with a betlh'eth in the gym, how will you defeat me?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO:  Sure.  ::Steps into the Turbolift.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Scoo: Fine, you were right.  That's what you were talking about?

Dremel says:
~~~Security 1: Must go now.~~~ ::Walks out and heads toward a Turbolift.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Checks the air quality in the lounge and finds it a bit off.  Does his thing to clear the air there.::

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Sighs.:: CTO: Exactly what we were talking about. There's something strange with that casket, but we can't open it. ::Points to the medic that left.:: CTO: Third one so far.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
TL:  Ship’s Lounge.

Q’ten says:
CO:  One day when I am strong enough, I will be able to defeat you.

Security team says: 
::Looks at each other, then rushes to catch up with Dremel.::

ACTION:  The air in the lounge begins to clear.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: After what just happened, I can't for a second argue with that.

Dremel says:
::Stands in front of a Turbolift.::  ~~~Security:  Must get to Princess.  You take me there?~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves to the center of the bridge and stands in front of the Captain's chair.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  You are very nearly as strong as me now.  But you cannot hope to beat me by strength alone.  ::Jabs Q'ten in the side of the head.::  You must learn to use that as well as your strength.

Security 1 says:
::Nods and opens the Turbo Lift.::  Dremel: Right this way.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Steps out of the Turbolift and makes his way to the lounge.::

ACTION:  Operations begins to receive reports of crew near sickbay hearing a female voice asking to be released.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*: I want an updated roster, security at the casket limited to 2 hour shifts until further notice.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks around and wonders why the Captain is squirreling himself away all morning.::

Dremel says:
::Follows the Chief Tactical Officer into the Turbolift.::  ~~~Security 1:  Must hurry.  Princess is waiting.~~~

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CTO:  Only thing I can think of, is to ask Dremel himself about this whole thing.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Steps into the lounge and looks around not seeing Security or Dremel.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Strength is but the blade in your hand.  Wisdom is what gives that blade a sharp edge.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: Might be a good idea to get roving Medical Teams going, just to keep your crew from being here too long.

ACTION:  The Executive Officer can see the cleaning crew cleaning up the remains of a very dead chicken.

CNS Talora says:
::Looks over to the Operations Officer.:: OPS: Well, what's going on?

Security 1 says:
Turbolift: Emergency over ride, priority route to Sickbay.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Ma'am, Ummm excuse me Ma'am but, I'm getting reports about people hearing things near Sickbay?

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CTO: They're already on a rotation. They really must not be used to this all.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Cleaning crew:  What happened hear, and where is Dremel?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: We could, but might want to get the Captain's input first.  Don't want to step on any diplomatic toes.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: ... A voice asking for "release"?

Cleaning Crew says: 
XO:  Your purple friend was here.  He ate a chicken and left this.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hears Talora and looks at Riley.:: OPS: Can you explain, Ensign?

Security 2 says: 
::Double taps comm badge.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Grumbles.::  Cleaning crew:  Continue.  ::Steps out of the lounge.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO:  No, Ma'am. I have no explanation at all.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
OPS:  Make sure security is on top of it.

ACTION:  The Chief Medical Officer has a loud ringing in his ear, and the female voice is louder now, demanding to be released.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO:  Aye, Ma'am.

Scoo says: 
::Hears Comm Badge beep 3 times.::  CTO/ CMO: Dremel's on his way.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Alerts security.::

Cleaning Crew says:
::Mumbles something about having to clean up after people on this ship all the time.::

CNS Talora says:
::Sighs.:: CEO: I've been hearing this voice too. There are a few of us hearing it, but my assumption is that it’s the Dead Princess.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*Security 1*: I don't like being called to eat dinner, then to be left by our guest without being informed.  Where are you and Dremel?

Angeltra says:
OPS: Chief is down there now I think; just told me to limit security shifts there for some reason.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Looks around and with the strongest voice in his head, screams "Lay Still!"::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora: You are a telepath, are you not?

CNS Talora says:
CEO: Correct, Ma'am.

Security 1 says:
*XO*: Sorry Commander, Ambassador wanted an immediate audience with the cargo, we're almost to Sickbay.  ::Said as Turbolift doors open.::

ACTION:  The voice stops at the Chief Medical Officer's telepathic scream.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora: That could be why only some of the crew are hearing this "voice",

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*: Captain, you have a minute?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*Security 1*:  I suppose I do need to meet our guest finally.  I'm on my way there.

Dremel says:
::Rushes out of the Turbolift, not waiting for the security team, heading to sickbay, and then stops.::  ~~~Security 1:  It is better now.  Can we go back to eat?~~~

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Angeltra: Understood.

Security 1 says:
Dremel: Better?  What is better?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Heads back to the Turbolift.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Taps his COM badge.:: *CTO*: This is the Captain.

Dremel says:
::Heads back into the Turbolift.::  ~~~Security 1:  We head back for food now.~~~

CNS Talora says:
CEO: Quite possible. However, it would also explain why those who aren't telepathic can hear it only near sickbay. William talked to me about this.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Why would security limit security in Sickbay, shouldn't it be increased, Ma'am?

Security 1 says:
Dremel: Commander Naug's on his way down, wants to meet you here if you don't mind.

Dremel says:
~~~Security 1:  Must eat .. must have food. ~~~

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Sighs in relief.:: CTO: It’s gone for now.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Commander Ec'Thel'lon must have his reasons.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Steps into the Turbolift and orders it to where the casket is.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Sorry, Ma'am, I didn't mean to... ::Shuts up.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Aside, out of Dremel's hearing.::  *CO*: Captain, we've got something happening, voices in heads near the casket.  Not sure what they're from.

Security 1 says:
Dremel: He's on his way, then he can join you for dinner.  Just wants to walk with you.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora: Those in sickbay must be sensitive to some kind of aura. Of course, we don't know much about the Princess' species.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CTO*:  Voices in heads?  Telepaths?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Has to work harder on his professionalism while on duty.::

Dremel says:
~~~Security 1:  Then we go.~~~ ::Heads off in the direction of Sickbay.::

Angeltra says:
OPS: He didn't say limit security, he said limit the time each shift spends there.  Don't know the reason then.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
OPS:  No worries, Ensign.  How do you expect to get answers if you don't ask?  ::Grins.::

Security 1 says:
Dremel: Thank you, Ambassador.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::The Turbolift stops and he steps out heading for sickbay.::

CNS Talora says:
CEO: We have a way of learning anything? I'd rather not be in the dark.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*: Not just the Telepaths, Sir.  I heard it, Scoo heard it, the doctor heard it.

ACTION:  A sound is heard coming from the casket area being stored in sickbay.  It sounds like a pounding.  It is heard by all within earshot range of the stored casket.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Okay, I'll ask one I've been wondering about.  How did this Princess die, anyway?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Self: quyvatlh!  

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora: You and me both.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CTO*: On my way.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reaches for Phaser hilt, resting hand on it before walking up to the door.::  CMO/ Scoo: I hope that's a first...and a last.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Q'ten:  Take chopwI' to the holo-deck if you like.  I'll return as soon as I can.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Heads out the door.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: I don't know how she died. I suppose Dremel and perhaps the Captain know.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Heads out the door::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Steps into the sickbay and sees the Chief Tactical Officer.::  CTO: What’s going on here?

Dremel says:
::Heads into sickbay, and looks around.::  ~~~CMO:  Temperature .. make colder.  Needs to be colder.~~~

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Reaches a turbo-lift.::  TL: Sickbay.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora: You said you thought the release me thing might be coming from the girl in the casket, right?  She don't sound dead to me.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I wish I knew.  ::Turns and accesses a LCARS station, turning internal sensors into the cold room.::

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
Dremel: The Temperature hasn't changed since it was put there, on YOUR orders. Why are we experiencing these issues?

Dremel says:
::Puts his hand on the shoulder of the Chief Medical Officer.::  ~~~CMO:  Temperature .. colder .. quickly.~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Goes up to the Chief Tactical Officer and watches what he is doing.::

CNS Talora says:
CEO: I know...that’s what worries me.

Dremel says:
::Kneels in front of the door, and ignores the others.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Self: And we are just suppose to take the word, she's dead, from a guy who liquifies chickens?  ::Shuts up, again.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Waves both Security teams back a bit.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Enters sickbay.::  ALL: What in gre'thor is going on in here?  What's all this about hearing voices?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  What is he doing?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Dremel:  Something was moving in there, and something's "calling".  Should we be concerned?

Dremel says:
~~~CMO:  If you do not make it colder, you will wish you did.  Must make it colder.  Quickly, before it's too late.~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora:  We have to be patient and wait until the Captain tells us what we need to know.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
*OPS*:  Please scan the casket room.  Let us know if there is a life sign in there.  Quickly, please.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Something is going on with the casket, Sir.

ACTION:  A loud voice in the Captain's head is heard .. a screaming female voice .. RELEASE ME ....

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*CMO*: You got it.  ::Does the scan.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Gamma Team*:  I want you guys outside of Sickbay, on the double!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Looks around, clearly startled and pulls his daq'taH.:: XO:  Who said that?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*CMO*: I'm reading no life signs, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looks at the Captain.::  CO: Said what?  I didn't hear anything.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Holds his head from all the screaming and the yelling and orders. He starts to lower the temperature even further.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  A woman that I've never heard before just screamed to be released.  You did not hear her?

ACTION:  The voice is heard throughout the ship now .. RELEASE ME NOW!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Self: I bet it's her ghost.

CNS Talora says:
::Screams both out and inside, "SHUT UP!"::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Surely you heard that!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  I hear it now.  Open the door, Captain.  I feel we need to.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
All:  Whoa!  You all hear that?

ACTION:  As the temperature in the room with the casket lowers, the voice is heard more like a moaning .. Thank you ..

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All:  Back off from the door...  

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora: Was that necessary?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I wouldn't suggest it, it seems...angered.

Dremel says:
::Stands up and heads to the Executive Officer and Captain.::  ~~~CO/XO:  All is better.  We eat now?~~~

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Hears the Counselor.  Shuts up afraid to talk.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: Can you have a forcefield in place over the door so we can open it and see?

CNS Talora says:
::Trying to catch her breath.:: CEO:...Yes, it was...she's at ease now... I'm not sure what happened.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Dremel:  Caskets don't act like that.  What in the <Edited for content> pits of <Edited for content> was that banging?

Dremel says:
::Looks at the Executive Officer.::  ~~~XO:  You must not open the casket.  To do so would be bad.~~~

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Dremel:  She is supposed to be dead.  Explain how we are all able to hear her screaming to be released.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora:  Was it that intense?

CNS Talora says:
::Nods.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Dremel:  Nothing is better. What is going on here?  What is better?

Dremel says:
~~~CTO: That was Princess Mataya.  She wanted out.  But she is better now.  We eat now?~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Security:  Go fetch the Ambassador a meal, we'll have a picnic.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora: Would you like to head to sickbay and see if the doctor could help you with a little something?

Dremel says:
~~~XO:  Princess is better.  She likes to be cold.  We eat now?~~~

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Thinks it would be funny to turn off the ship's lights and pipe eerie music throughout the ship's internal COM system but, has to remember he isn't in the academy any more::

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Glances over at the Chief Tactical Officer.:: CTO: You want to eat a meal in Sickbay? ::Sighs.:: You couldn't bring it up with me?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Dremel:  You mean she's not dead? 

Security says:
::Nods and happily runs off to the supply room before realizing what is meant by getting a meal.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*OPS*:  Get me Starfleet Command!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: Sorry Doctor, but I'm not feeling safe with an unidentified danger in that room.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CO:  If I may, Sir.  It’s possible that it might be a living spirit. Not unlike a Vulcan Katra.

Dremel says:
~~~CO:  Her body is dead.  Her soul lives.~~~

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Makes a COM connection for the Captain with Starfleet Command.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Dremel: Then explain how she is saying what she is saying.

Dremel says:
~~~CMO/XO/CO:  Spirit yes, danger there is if it is released.~~~

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*OPS*: Belay that order.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
Dremel:  Why?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Dremel:  Explain!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Cuts COM.:: Self: Great Starfleet command will think I'm crank calling them now.

Dremel says:
~~~CO/CMO/XO/CTO:  If Princess Mataya's spirit is released before the ceremony is completed, ...~~~  ::Doesn't finish.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Thinking to self.:: Self:  Great... Katra's again.  I so enjoyed it the last time.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
Dremel:  Keep going.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Dremel:  Do tell.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Seems this is just a misunderstanding.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Wishes she knew what was happening with Icky.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Yes, and I would very much like to understand.

Dremel says:
~~~CO/CMO/XO/CTO:  I do not know .. All we know is that the spirit is not settled until the ceremony can be completed.~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*: I want another 4 members on each shift on the cold room, and they will rotate.  2 hours in Sickbay, 2 hours in hall, and another 2 hours at one of the two nearest corridor intersections.   

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Walks from station to station looking at what each officer is up to.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Dremel:  And this is the ceremony that we are to witness?

ACTION:  The Chief Engineering Officer suddenly feels dizzy, and she can see everything that is going on in sickbay, as if she was there, but she is not.

CNS Talora says:
::Looks over at the Chief Engineering Officer.:: CEO: Are you alright?

Dremel says:
~~~CO:  This is the ceremony that you will participate in, yes.~~~

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
Dremel:  Participate?  Whoa... this is new to me.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  Can we get another level of redundancy installed on the cold room's systems?  I'm not sure if the standard levels are enough for what seems to be inside.  I'll explain later, honest.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Grabs the side of the Executive Officer's chair.:: Talora: Just a little dizzy for a moment. ::Decides to sit.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Dremel:  Participate?!

CNS Talora says:
CEO: Do you need a hand?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  We were told witness.  When were we conscripted into participating?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: There was no mention of this, Captain.  Seems we are in for more then we bargained for.  Maybe they only need yourself.

Dremel says:
~~~CO/XO/CMO/CTO:  Yes, I mean witness .. My words .. confusing sometimes.~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hears Icky but hesitates.:: Talora: I'll be fine. Just having an out of body experience I think.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora: You want me to get a medic up here for her?

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CO: No, you don't confuse the two like that. Something's amiss here.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Dremel: Seems we have a lot to learn.  How can we keep the Princess sedate?

CNS Talora says:
OPS: No, if it’s something in her mind, I'll help out.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*: Icky? Can you repeat that? Something is going on with...err just repeat that please.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora: Aye, Ma'am.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: You Okay?  Just asking if we can add another level of redundancy to the chill room?

Dremel says:
~~~CTO:  Temperature must remain cold .. Very cold.  If she is to awaken, she will try to convince you to let her out.  Her power is strong.  She will attempt to control you.  You must not leave it get that far.~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
OPS/Talora: Relax will you. It will pass.. I hope.

CNS Talora says:
::Smiles to herself "Such a nice boy".:: CEO: Alright, what is it you see?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Goes back to his console.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Dremel:  How cold?  Four Kelvin work?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*:  Oh that. Sure, I'll have Martin get.....never mind I'll do it myself.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CTO: We're already there.

Dremel says:
~~~CTO:  As the time goes by, coldness must increase.  You must gradually reduce temperature, but not too quickly or she will perish.~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora: I think that Dremel guy is messing with me. I have this picture of sickbay in my head.....weird.

Dremel says:
~~~CTO:  We eat now?~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Dremel: Predictable lowering, or is it a "play it by ear" thing?

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Sighs.:: CTO: We can only go so far when it comes to temperature.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Looks around at everyone, and then at Dremel.::  Self: ::Out loud.:: Hughtegh yab laDwI'mey!

CNS Talora says:
CEO: I can help push it away. Do you want me to help?

Dremel says:
~~~CTO:  When the voice is quiet, you will know it is enough.~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Makes her way gingerly to the engineering console and performs the Chief Tactical Officer's request.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: We can go down to nearly zero Kelvin, if we use natural cooling.

Dremel says:
::Tilts his head to the side.::  ~~~CO:  Does that mean you are hungry?~~~

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Keep her... it quiet!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Talora: You can do that?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: I'll be with Q'ten.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
::Rolls eyes.:: CTO: You handle temperature in there. I have medics who are loosing their minds, damage up the wazoo, from where the casket was "placed" when it first came here.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Dremel: No, it does not.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Shaking his head.::  ALL:  Okay, everyone let’s get back to our duties.    

CNS Talora says:
CEO: Yes, I can.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO/CMO:  Proceed with Dremel's instructions.

Dremel says:
~~~CO:  I would like to have dinner with you.  You are the leader, no?~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*: Icky? Um......you have your redundancy....good luck down there.

Dremel says:
~~~CO:  Who is Q'ten?~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: Thanks, you okay?  You sound distracted?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns to Talora.:: Talora: Okay, how does it work? Do I just wish the images away?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Dremel:  The Captain will be on his way.  I will have dinner with you.

Dremel says:
~~~CO:  No, I want to have dinner with him and Q'ten.~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hears Icky again.::  *CTO*:  I'm fine, just having a Dremel moment I think.

CNS Talora says:
::Smiles brightly.:: CEO: Not quite. Come here, sit down, and take my hand. ::Gestures towards a chair.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Shakes his head and grabs it.::  Dremel: Stop that!  Q'ten is my son, and I have already eaten.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO: Very well, will limit the numbers who need to deal with the "noise".

Dremel says:
~~~CO:  But I wish to eat dinner with you and Q'ten.~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: I'll be up there as soon as we get settled down here.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves over to the nearest chair and sits.:: Talora: Now what?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Observing the two women in back of him in conversation and starts humming "That old Black Magic" to himself in his head.::

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CTO: They're schedule is already short enough. Every 3 hours or so, they're off. ::Sighs:: I've got my side of things covered.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Dremel:  Perhaps when it is time for Q'ten and I to eat again.  ::Turns to leave.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Raises a finger at Talora.:: Talora: Just a moment.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Steps up to Dremel.::  Dremel: Stop this, we Klingons so hate to be talked to in our minds. Let me take you.  I can handle it a little better.::  

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Self:  Not much.

CNS Talora says:
CEO:  Yes?

Dremel says:
~~~XO:  You will do.  We are not too different.  We both like our food alive.  You like chicken?~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*:  Icky, don't worry. I'm fine. Just keep an eye on that Dremel guy. I have a strange feeling about him.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CMO:  I'm sure you do.  We're following the procedures, but I think the problem is with said procedures.

CMO_LtJg_Stradiot says:
CTO: Trust me.... I know....

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: It's a strange mission, agreed.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns to Talora.:: Talora: Sorry about that, but he tends to worry. Please continue.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Walking back to the Turbolift.:: Self:  Now I have a headache!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Dremel:  Chicken will be fine.  Come this way.  We will go to the officer’s mess.  ::Waves arm to the sickbay door.::

CNS Talora says:
::Takes her hand.:: CEO: Alright. Close your eyes, and open your mind. We'll expel him together. ::Closes her eyes.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::His humming is interrupted by the thought of that poor chicken in the lounge::
