@*CTO* Granted Commander.  Begin immediately.

Host Chris says:
ACTION: The "living" Erie disappears and the crew find themselves some distance from camp.

SO_Whoghat says:
$CSO: Maybe... but tell us what?

OPS_Kerst says:
#*CO*: A little hungry but fine. I'm in what appears to be a ship graveyard. There are ...hundreds of ships just sitting here neglected. I think I found where all those missing ships went.

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: Aye, sir. CEO: I think I will. If think get tough, I will need you to attempt to "wake me up"

FCO_Stricker says:
<Ens_Lydon:> Ensign Lydon reporting sir, I'm in engineering.

@::Takes a deep breath of relief as he sees they're no longer within the living ship.:: *XO* / CTO: Look! ::Looks around and scans the area with his tricorder.::  Were not that far away  from the base camp! ::Points.:: Its in that direction.

FCO_Stricker says:
<Ens_Lydon:> Well, Mr. Lydon, please help me find the CSO please.

CTO_Marek says:
@CEO: What?!!!

Host Chris says:
ACTION: The SFC scurries up the CNS's leg and wraps it's self lightly around her neck and purrs.

SO_Whoghat says:
$::looks around for a moment:: CSO: Do you see that girl that was in here earlier?

CTO_Marek says:
@::sees in the direction that CEO pointed::

OPS_Kerst says:
#*CO*: I haven't seen anybody but a new pet I picked up when I thought I was on the Erie. I'll try to contact her though.

XO_Hicks says:
@CTO/CEO: How'd we get here?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*OPS*: Is the Erie possibly among those ships?

CTO_Marek says:
@CEO/XO: Hardly to say, sir.... I'm confused

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#::wraps tail around OPS' leg, tightly::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Giggles with relief.:: XO: I have no idea.  I’m just happy to be out of that thing!

CSO_Pavielion says:
$SO: I'm betting she wasn't even real, and if she was it's obvious she didn't want to talk. ::closes tricorder and walks over to a dark corner::

FCO_Stricker says:
<Eng_Lydon:> <FCO:> Aye sir I will help in anyways necessary!

XO_Hicks says:
@CEO: Agreed.

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: We should try to contact the CO and the rest of the crew immediately.

CNS_Toni says:
#::is startled as SFC scurries up to her and grabs her leg::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*OPS* Try to locate Cmdr. West and all of you get back to base camp, immediately.  We have bigger problems here and I could use the help.

XO_Hicks says:
CTO: I was just about to do that.

OPS_Kerst says:
#*CO*: Not that I’ve seen. I was about to enter what appears to be an Intrepid class ship to gather supplies and see if it has any power. I'll wait and meet up with the SEC team first. Then investigate.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO*: Sir?  We just found ourselves some distance from the base camp.  Were heading back.  That ship  just disappeared.

Host Chris says:
ACTION: The CSO trips over something as he walks to the corner.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.

$CSO: Perhaps you are right... but what if you are not? ::sees him trip and walks over:: CSO: Are you ok?

OPS_Kerst says:
#*CNS*: Kerst to Toni, can you hear me?

XO_Hicks says:
@*CO*: Hicks to Mitchell, come in Captain.

CNS_Toni says:
#::begins to talk to SFC and gives it a piece of her mind::

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::thunk, falls and hits head on the ground::

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: Right, sir. ::blushes::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO*: Mitchell, here, Cmdr.

Host Chris says:
ACTION: The SFC continues to purr at the CNS.

CTO_Marek says:
@CEO; Fortunately, the mind meld was unnecessary. However it would be interesting to establish contact with these life forms.

XO_Hicks says:
@*CO*: Sir, as you know we are not far from base camp.  We're on our way to you.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Lifts his tricorder to the XO and CTO.:: XO/CTO:  See?  ::Sighs.:: Well.  We have some journey ahead of us.  But at least were out of that thing! ::Nods to the CTO::

SO_Whoghat says:
$::runs up:: CSO: Sir?

OPS_Kerst says:
#::pets the SFC:: SFC: Lets climb back down and see if we can meet up with Toni.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::sighs at their luck::  SO: yes, with all this debris it's hard to step around everything ::gets up a examines what he tripped on::

CNS_Toni says:
#*OPS*: I hear you, describe your present location, I and the sec team and... my furry friend here, will soon be approaching.

FCO_Stricker says:
<Ens_Lydon:> <FCO:> Yes sir, I think I may actually be able to find a solution, have you found them on the tricorder?

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Climbs down access ladder::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.  We'll need help locating Cmdr. Pavielion and Ensign Whoghat.

XO_Hicks says:
@CTO/CEO: Let's get to camp, on the double.

XO_Hicks says:
@*CO*: Aye sir.

CTO_Marek says:
@CEO: I agree. But I insist. It would be very interesting to exactly know with what are we dealing here.

FCO_Stricker says:
<Ens_Lydon:> I'm all ear Mister...::Looks at the Ens::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Sets phaser to low power, then fires a continuous beam straight up::

CNS_Toni says:
#::SFC> now look here, you like me, I think you are cute, but you hold too tight around my neck, let loose some.

CTO_Marek says:
@XO: Aye.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sighs with relief and dismisses Ensign Mira::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Turns to his Engineers.:: Engineers: You heard Hicks!  On the double.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::kicks the metal piece aside and notices a small key fling into the air, catches it and examines it::  SO: let's move that piece of metal in the corner

@::to his sec crew:: SEC Team: On the double, gentlemen.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Turns to CTO.:: CTO: Yes Marek.  It would help greatly! ::Sighs and starts on the journey to the base camp.::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks for Lt. Stricker::

Small_Furry-Creature says:

XO_Hicks says:
@::Double-times it back to base::

CNS_Toni says:

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sees Lt. Sticker talking to some other crewmembers and approaches:: FCO: Report.

FCO_Stricker says:
<Ens_Lydon:> <FCO:> Get dippers out and start digger where the life signs are coming from...

SO_Whoghat says:
$CSO: Fair enough ::kneels down and gets ready to move it::

OPS_Kerst says:
#SFC: Get down here, it's safe.

OPS_Kerst says:
#:: Looks around for Toni::

CSO_Pavielion says:
$SO: ready?  One, two, three, now! ::puts all his strength into picking up the piece of metal and moving it aside::

@::Tries to contact the CSO and the SO with his tricorder boosting the comm. signal.:: *CSO/SO*:  Pavielion?  Whoghat?  Come in?  This is CEO Corjet?  Do you read me? ::Continues on their way to the base camp.::

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#OPS: Bleek?  ::Looks skeptical, but jumps down beside OPS::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Ma'am, my assistant Eng Lydon has brought to my attention something that I never would've though of however I don't think we have the equipment for it!

CNS_Toni says:
#::begins  walking across and over and between some of the metal rubble, with SFC sitting on her shoulder::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: And that is, Lt?

Host Chris says:
ACTION: The CSO and SO move the heavy object only to find hard rock behind it.

OPS_Kerst says:
#::Continues looking around for Toni::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: If we could get some digger and start digger at an area where the life signs are strongly coming from ma'am?

CNS_Toni says:

<Ensign Lydon>

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#::stands up on her hind legs, swats at OPS with a front paw::

OPS_Kerst says:

Host Chris says:
ACTION: All of the crew that were aboard the "living" Erie have found their way back to camp.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Cmdr. Corjet and his engineers are on their way back to base camp.  They should be here any minute.  I am sure they can come up with something to dig with.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Double steps it to stand next to the XO and CTO while setting the signal to auto repeat with the boosting of the tricorder.:: *CSO/SO*:  Pavielion?  Whoghat?  Come in?  This is CEO Corjet?  Do you read me? ::Continues on their way to the base camp.::

CTO_Marek says:
@::kicks again another little rock on his run:: self: Not again...

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Thank you ma'am and credit Mister Lydon here....::Points to Lydon:: with that suggestion ma'am

CNS_Toni says:
#*Sec Team*: keep your phasers on stun, we don’t want to harm any of the vegetation since we suspect it to be sentient.

SO_Whoghat_ says:
$CSO: I wish I had a phaser

Host Chris says:
ACTION: As the CSO puts the key in the rock slides back with a loud grating noise.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at Lydon and nods:: Lydon: Good thinking.  FCO: Meet with Cmdr. Corjet.

CSO_Pavielion says:

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: My assistant here Ensign Lydon here will get on his tricorder where the life signs are the strongest and we can start to dig from there.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$SO: stay close, unless you want to end up as Swamp Man again.  ::continues to walk forward, quickens pace wanting to find out where they are headed, tries to not walk into any holes::

CEO_Corjet says:

SO_Whoghat_ says:
$CSO: But then again we saw that girl

CSO_Pavielion says:
$SO: err....at least humanoid made.....well, I more amphibious so environment changes are more obvious.

CTO_Marek says:
::supervising his crew to follow the Captain's orders ASAP::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs and wipes his brow, getting it dirty.:: *CO*: Aye sir.  We just found them.  Shall we join up with you as soon as we can?  Or just wait here sir?

Self, come on, come one! CEO: What are we doing sir? Where are we going? We need to find them!

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::sees nothing and gets no readings from this room, knows that if they're being herded they might as well follow::  SO: let's look over in this room, nothing is in here

CTO_Marek says:
::stands beside the CO and the XO::

SO_Whoghat says:
$::shrugs:: CSO: Yes sir... ::goes about looking through everything he can find::

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#::sighs heavily and makes a grab for OPS' tricorder::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::CNS: Of Course, anytime. ::notice SFC on CNS shoulder:: I see you picked up a pet too.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CSO/SO*:  Commander Pavielion?  Do you read me?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Walks quickly leading the crew to the shipyard, with her tricorder held out in front of her::

XO_Hicks says:
::Moving toward the coordinates of the shipyard::

OPS_Kerst says:
#SFC: Mine

CNS_Toni says:
#OPS: no problem I know you were probably weary of being alone, however, since these crew members look up to you as a commanding officer, <whispering> just tone it down a little and be stronger, you know for them>.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Move up, Cmdr.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::turns head and takes a final look into the larger room, still sees nothing, enters intot he smaller room with the SO close behind::

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#::shakes head and tries to get tricorder again::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Stricker says:
<Ens_Lydon:>  <CEO:/FCO:> We are close I can feel it

CNS_Toni says:
#OPS: yes this little creature followed me all the way here.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Hicks, watch our back.

CTO_Marek says:
::follows the CO with his tricorder on his left hand::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs and tries again.:: *CSO/SO*: Pavielion... Whoghat?  Come in?  Do you read me?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Orders his Engineering teams to dig faster.::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: On it sir.  ::Falls to the rear with his phaser drawn::

OPS_Kerst says:
#CNS: Perhaps the Starlight ballroom holodeck program would be a more private setting when we get back?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Steps over a pile of rocks and continues on::

Host Chris says:
ACTION: As the CSO and SO enter the next chamber they are faced with the oddest sight. There are 5 transparent domes in a sort of circle. Each contains something that looks "living", a small mass about the size of a human brain. They seem to glow and pulse.

CTO_Marek says:
::his phaser set to stun on his right hand::

CEO_Corjet says:
<Engineering Team> ::Starts grumbling about having to labor intensive work.::

SO_Whoghat says:
$::stares:: CSO: Whoa... now that's weird... ::scans one of the thingys::

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#::rolls eyes at the conversation and bleeks loudly into OPS' ear::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Gets out tricorder: CEO: The life signs are so strong, we're almost there sir!

OPS_Kerst says:
#::petting his SFC:: Yes mine seems extremely intelligent, and very clingy.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: We are close, Commander.  ::Tricorder begins beeping faster::

CNS_Toni says:
#::throws back head in a funny laugh:: OPS: Perhaps, Perhaps.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Indeed, sir. We must proceed with caution.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stares at his Engineers and orders them to dig faster.:: FCO: Good!  I hope my Engineers can last that long.  ::Goes back into the ditch and helps dig.  Digging as hard as he can.::

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::walks into the smaller room and looks around, is taken back by the small glowing domes and their contents::  SO: scan each dome, though only use passive scans for now, we don't want to provoke anything ::approaches the domes slowly, but doesn't get too close::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Agreed.  ::Continues through the dense vegetation::

CNS_Toni says:
#OPS: I think these SFC's are very intelligent; they do seem to have feelings.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Continues to dig and orders the second team to switch out with the first team.::

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: Sir, I think we need some water, or food with protein, I'll go out and get some for us!

SO_Whoghat says:
$CSO: Amen to that...

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#::hisses at the CNS::

SO_Whoghat says:
$::makes sure to keep his scans passive::

OPS_Kerst says:
#CNS: It like they know what’s going on, but wont tell us.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Wipes his brow.:: FCO: Good idea!  ::Indicates the first team.:: Feed them first.

CNS_Toni says:
#OPS: Maybe they want to, but cannot.

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: Sir, Lydon is under your command for the time being...::Walks away::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Breaks through the vegetation and sees the shipyard up ahead:: CTO: There it is.  ::Points and then snaps her tricorder shut and places it back into her belt::

CNS_Toni says:
#::Jumps when OPS Kerst SFC hisses at her::

CSO_Pavielion says:
$SO: do you notice anything else in the room?  These....brains must have some sort of way to protect themselves.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Goes back to digging with the second team, gets even more dirty as he starts to sweat.  The second Engineering Team sees him work hard and redouble their efforts.::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Sir, please let me go first.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#CTO: Proceed, Cmdr.

OPS_Kerst says:
#SFC: Stop that! She's a friend! :;Wave a finger in front of SFC::

CNS_Toni says:
#OPS: I wonder... if there is some way to communicate with them so we understand what they want to tell us?

CTO_Marek says:
#CO: Aye.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::uses his tricorder and tries to pick up on any communication frequencies these brains may be using...or maybe a pattern to the glowing::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#::Waits for the CTO to move to point then follows::

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#::pushes OPS' finger out of her face and bleeks::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Grabs a lot of food and water form the rations and head back to the ditch:: CEO: Anything yet my tricorder is reading that we are extremely close right now.

OPS_Kerst says:
#CNS: Well, as you know, communication has never been a strong suit of mine.

CTO_Marek says:
#::scans the area:: CO: All clear 

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#XO: Hicks, move up, please.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$SO: anything from your scans?

SO_Whoghat says:
$::wonders what exactly these things are as he continues scanning them::

SO_Whoghat says:
$CSO: Nothing yet sir

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#CTO: Try to get a location on Cmdr. West and Kerst.

XO_Hicks says:
#CO: Sir?  ::Moving up to the Captain::

CTO_Marek says:
#::continues scanning:: 

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses a few moments to catch his breath.  Then wipes his face and gets covered in dirt.  His Engineers start laughing at him and he starts laughing too.:: FCO: Nothing yet. ::Smiles with a dirty face.  Then goes back to digging.::

CNS_Toni says:
#OPS: I hear movement.

CTO_Marek says:
#CO: Working on that, sir. ::taps on the tricorder::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses another moment.:: FCO: Could you try contacting the CSO and SO while we continue?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#::Taps COM badge:: *CNS* Mitchell to West, please respond.

Host M says:
Mr. Pav: So you see what you think you want to see here?

CTO_Marek says:
#CO: Got them, sir. This way ::points::

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::walks around the domes, scans them and tries to figure out what the domes and brains are composed of::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Throws the team in the ditch some food and water and the team outside the ditch, hopes in the ditch and start to dig::

OPS_Kerst says:
#SEC TEAM: Fan out, identify that!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#::Follows the CTO::

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: Aye sir!

Host M says:
ACTION: One of the domes glows brighter than the others.

SO_Whoghat says:
::focuses on the bright dome;:

FCO_Stricker says:
*CSO/SO* Commander, Ensign, this is the FCO Lt Stricker, do you read me, over!

CTO_Marek says:
#CO: 200 meters to the right. ::points again::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks at his water that’s near his feet, wanting to drink some but continues.  His Engineering Team reach for there's but continue digging as hard as they can.::

OPS_Kerst says:
<#SEC Team> ::Fans out forming a perimeter::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#::Looks to where the CTO points and heads in that direction::  XO: Hicks, you still with us?

CNS_Toni says:
#*CO*: Yes sir, we hear you, you are close, the Sec team is moving to meet you, keep making noise so we can get closer to each other.

XO_Hicks says:
#CO: Yes Captain.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::stops, feels a shudder go through his body, turns to directly face the glowing dome::  M: I see what is there, nothing more ::wonders who he is talking too, motions for the SO to get over by him::

CTO_Marek says:
#::make his way through the dense vegetation:::

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: Sir, nothing on communications here, take my food and water, I don't need it sir! ::Starts to dig::

CEO_Corjet says:
<Engineering Team 1> ::Watches Engineering Team 2 and their Chief working harder than they were.  Becomes a bit jealous and starts moving toward the ditch.::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::A part of him wishes he could be alone a little while longer with Toni::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#*CNS*: Acknowledged, Cmdr.  ::Thinks: Make noise?::

SO_Whoghat says:
$::walks over to the CSO::

CEO_Corjet says:
FCO: No problem... ::Continues to dig with his Engineers and the FCO.::

Host M says:
ACTION: The dome continues to glow brightly but nothing else.

SO_Whoghat says:
$CSO: What were you talking to?

CTO_Marek says:
#self: ::mumbles:: I rather prefer planet with deserts,,,

FCO_Stricker says:
::Climbs out of the ditch and lies down exhausted:: CEO: Keep going Commander, keep going.....

CSO_Pavielion says:
$M: may I ask who or what you are, and why have you brought our crew here?  ::glances at the SO for a moment::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#::Spots the security team up ahead::  CTO: There are your security teams, Cmdr.

SO_Whoghat says:
$::raises an eyebrow and keeps it up::

CTO_Marek says:
#CO: ::nods to the CO:: Oh, I see. Sir.

Host M says:
ACTION: The ground beneath all of the rest of the crew opens under them and they find themselves in the first large chamber that the CSO and SO were inside.

XO_Hicks says:
#CO: I'm glad to see they're all right.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Staggers a bit.:: FCO: Aye! ::Looks over at Engineering Team 2.  Orders a change out.  Engineering Team 1 quickly hops out.::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#XO: Indeed.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::hears an outside noise, but doesn't want to break contact with the being, whispers to SO::  SO: Ensign, go find out what that was.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Falls into the chamber and upon all of the dirt, becomes buried to his chest.:: ALL: Yikes! ::Looks around.::

Small_Furry-Creature says:
#::holds on tightly to OPS::

FCO_Stricker says:
::looks down the big ditch:: All in ditch: you guys find anything down there?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#::Meets up with the security team and follows them to the location of the CNS and OPS::

CTO_Marek says:
#CO: 110 meters...

CEO_Corjet says:
$CSO: Hello! ::Laughs a bit as he struggles to get free.::

OPS_Kerst says:
#::sees the CO coming around a ship, waves::

Host M says:
Mr. Pav: Certainly ::a trill that might resemble laughter runs through the CSO's head:: You are merely here for our entertainment.

CTO_Marek says:
#sec team: Have your phaser at readiness, gentlemen.

CNS_Toni says:
#::Walks toward CO::

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: I'm going to throw and rope down so everyone can get, ok sir?

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::is angered by the being's comment, keeps control::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#::Sees OPS and CNS standing near a ship::  OPS: Report.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Looks over to M with his dirty face and smiles.:: M: Hello.   Is this entertaining enough?

OPS_Kerst says:
#::slowly follows CNS towards CO, petting SFC trying to keep it calm::

CSO_Pavielion says:
$M: why do you use other beings for your pleasure?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Sound exhausted:: CEO: Sir, are you ok?

XO_Hicks says:
::Looks at Commander West with a look of relief, glad to see she is safe::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Can’t help but laugh.:: FCO: I'm fine. ::Struggles to get out of the pile of dirt.::

CSO_Pavielion says:
$::whispers::  CEO: who all is with you?  We need to group together; this being does not seem overly friendly.

SO_Whoghat_ says:
$::smiles:: CEO: Hello there

CNS_Toni says:
#::Looks at CO then toward XO, smiles slightly::

CEO_Corjet says:
$FCO: Maybe you should check the other Engineers. :: Points::

OPS_Kerst says:
#CO: I found this place this morning. There are literally hundreds of rusting ships here. No sign of the Erie though. I did spot some of the missing ship over there. I was going to try to locate supplies and see if I could power to one of these rust buckets when the Comm. started working.

SO_Whoghat_ says:
$CSO: We can't be sure if its friendly or not

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: Aye sir, I'm just going to throw a rope down ok? ::Throws it down:: Here you go!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#OPS: Were you able to find anything useful?

SO_Whoghat_ says:
$CSO: In all likelihood it doesn't even know that we didn't have too much of a wonderful time ducking exploding movie screens

CNS_Toni says:
#::Listening to OPS report:

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Pauses a moment to wipe the dirt from his Bajoran nose bridge and whispers.:: CSO: My Engineering teams, the FCO... ::Sighs:: That’s about it.  The others... ::Looks around.:: There somewhere else. ::Finally struggles out and falls on his face, getting dirty again.::

CSO_Pavielion says:
$M: Where we come from all beings are equal, it is cruel and unjust to force other beings to entertain you, especially if harm comes their way.

OPS_Kerst says:
#CO: Not yet, And I have my doubts considering the condition of these ships. Some of them look like they have been here a long time.

CSO_Pavielion says:
$CEO: this "M" has informed me that he brought us here for his pleasure, where is the captain?

CNS_Toni says:
#::gets sinking feeling as ground gives way::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Looks around with a slight frown.:: CSO: Not sure sir. ::Gets up and dusts his uniform off.::

Host M says:
ACTION: The ground beneath all of the rest of the crew opens under them and they find themselves in the first large chamber that the CSO and SO were inside.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Hands the CSO his tricorder with the coordinates where the CO is suppose to have gone.:: CSO: There.

CTO_Marek says:
#All: Are you ok? 

OPS_Kerst says:
$::looks around:: ALL: Weren't we all just on the surface?

CSO_Pavielion says:
$CEO: if this M keeps at it, the others should be swallowed up soon as well.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::His eyes widen as he sees the rest of the crew appear.:: CTO: I’m fine.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
#::Is suddenly swallowed up by the ground and finds herself inside a cavern::  All: Report!

CTO_Marek says:
#CO: This planet is certainly full of surprises...

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: My head hurts and I have a history of...of....of......con..cusions....

CEO_Corjet says:
$CSO: They are.

CTO_Marek says:
#CEO: Glad to hear that...

XO_Hicks says:
::Regaining his balance::  CO: We're in some sort of cavern sir.

SO_Whoghat_ says:
CO: Oh... hello captain... we found glowing masses and then everyone showed up down here

OPS_Kerst says:
::Sees what appears to be the entire crew in large room::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::waits for any response from M::

CEO_Corjet says:
CO: Sir?  Engineering Teams dug hard and fast. ::Laughs a bit and stifles it.:: Then we found ourselves here sir.  Were pretty fine other wise.

CNS_Toni says:
::Brushes herself off from the dust and notices she is in a cavern with the rest of the crew::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Security teams, spread out!

OPS_Kerst says:
::Checks on SFC:: SFC: You OK?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Understood, sir. 

FCO_Stricker says:
CEO: Sir...sir....I need to....um....um....

Small_Furry-Creature says:
::looks around the cavern, hanging onto OPS:: OPS: Bleek.

SO_Whoghat_ says:
::sees OPS and wonders what he's talking to:: OPS: What are you talking to?

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Nods to his Engineering teams to assist the security teams.:: FCO: Yes?

CNS_Toni says:
::Looking around::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::hears another noise::  FCO: go check that out

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Pulls tricorder out and flips it open.  Begins scanning::

CTO_Marek says:
Sec teams: Defensive Sigma pattern... On the double!

XO_Hicks says:
::Taking tricorder readings of the area::

OPS_Kerst says:
SFC: My thought too. Bleak.

CTO_Marek says:
Sec Teams: Phasers set to stun. Move!

OPS_Kerst says:
SO: My new friend.

FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: ::Shakes his head:: Yes sir. CEO: I feel much better.....::Walks away::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CEO: Report

CNS_Toni says:
::SFC still clinging to her heck::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sees the small furry creature and smiles.:: OPS: Cool friend!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Security teams standing by, sir

Host M says:
Mr. Pav: We mean no harm; you will live as the others do.

CSO_Pavielion says:
M: what others?

SO_Whoghat_ says:
OPS: Wow... ::sees the SFC:: where did you find it?

CEO_Corjet says:
CO: No injuries to report sir.  ::Points to the CSO.:: He'll know much better about this..  M person.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sees the CSO and approaches slowly, gazing at the glowing domes:: CSO: Report.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::sees the captain::  CO: over here Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
CEO: He was on the Erie, when I was there, or when I thought I was there; I'm not sure which.

Small_Furry-Creature says:
::stares at the SO::

Host M says:
Mr. Pav: You have met others. Do you not recognize them?

SO_Whoghat_ says:
::looks at the SFC and grins:: SFC: Hello

FCO_Stricker says:
::Goes to check out the sound:: CSO: I can’t see anything, are you sure you heard something?

Small_Furry-Creature says:
::holds out front paw to SO::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: these creatures seem to be combing to speak, they are telling of "others" on this planet, perhaps the other crew members.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles and walks up to OPS.:: OPS: Kerst? ::reaches out to pet it but pauses.:: Is this a he or she?

CSO_Pavielion says:
M: do you mean the other crews?  The ones before us?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Others?  ::Looks at the dome containing the speaking being and listens::

Host M says:
Mr. Pav: All around you, look and truly see.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: whatever this is, it does not seem friendly; he says we are here for its pleasure.

OPS_Kerst says:
CEO: Seems to be, Glad to see you. Didn't know If I'd ever see the crew again.

Host M says:
Mr. Kerst: I see you have a friend.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::looks around, shines light into the darkness for anyone else::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Returns:: CEO/CSO: There was nothing to all to check out.....

SO_Whoghat_ says:
::grins broadly and gently shakes the paw::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs softly.:: OPS: Me too! ::Smiles at the small furry creature.::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: His pleasure?  ::Looks at the dome::  M: What is the meaning of all this?  I demand to know why you have brought us here against our will.

CNS_Toni says:
::Looks at M::

OPS_Kerst says:
M: Yes, I seem too. What do you know of him?

Small_Furry-Creature says:
::hears M and turns to the voice::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns towards M and then turns to look around.::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Feels a bit awkward talking to a glowing dome::

CNS_Toni says:
::SFC turn as it hears the voice of M::

Host M says:
Mr. Kerst: I am afraid you friend has been naughty. She thought she could warn you and will be punished later but I will allow you to see her true from.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, the other crews before us, I think the dome is saying they have been incorporated into the planet, perhaps this is why they are all around us.

Small_Furry-Creature says:
::tightens tail around OPS' neck::

OPS_Kerst says:
M: What?!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks to each and every of the 5 transparent domes and then walks back to the brighter one.  Studies it closely.::

OPS_Kerst says:
::tries to hold SFC protectively::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Stand by the CSO/CO and CEO::

Host M says:
ACTION: The SFC around Kerst's neck stands before him a beautiful woman.

CNS_Toni says:
::Looks surprised as M sates about a true form::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: It follows, Cmdr.  ::Waits for a reply from the dome to her inquiry::

OPS_Kerst says:
SFC: Whoa.... are you, who are you?

SO_Whoghat says:
::sees the SFC suddenly become a woman:: Woman/OPS/Everyone Else: Whoa...

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Watches as the SFC turns into a female::

CNS_Toni says:
M: so what is the true form of this SFC on my neck?

Host M says:
CO: Ahh captain, what a pleasure. Captains are always the most interesting.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns around and smiles as he sees the beautiful woman.:: Self: Where did she come from?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::watches the event in front of him, is starting to get used to these occurrences::

OPS_Kerst says:
BW: Are you OK?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::doesn't like M's tone::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Looks at the woman:: All: She looks kind of like my wife to be....interesting

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Turns to look at the dome again:: M: Indeed.  Will you please tell me why you have brought us here against our will?

Beautiful_Woman says:
::moves behind OPS:: OPS: Mr. Kerst, don't let M ...::doesn't finish but hides face::

CTO_Marek says:
::sees the woman...:: self:: Fascinating....

CSO_Pavielion says:
Self: for its pleasure, its enjoyment, sadistic creature

OPS_Kerst says:
BW: Not If I can help it. ::Tightens grip on Phaser::

Host M says:
CO: Your will? :: the dome glows a little brighter::

SO_Whoghat says:
::sees the Woman move and raises an eyebrow:: Former SFC: Ummm... what are you doing?

XO_Hicks says:
::Stands beside the Captain and looks to M for an answer::

Beautiful_Woman says:
::huddles closer to OPS, trying to hide::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns back to the bright dome and scans it with his tricorder.::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: Yes.  We did not request to be here.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Keeps a hand on BW to comfort her, stands between her and M::

FCO_Stricker says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Anything yet sir?

CTO_Marek says:
CEO: It's useless, Cmdr. I've already tried...

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Waits for an explanation from the dome::

Host M says:
CO: Ahh yes, I remember now about that kind of will.

CEO_Corjet says:
FCO: No... ::Turns to Marek.::

CNS_Toni says:
::Snickers as she watches OPS trying to keep Beautiful woman in check::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

Beautiful_Woman says:
<w> OPS: You should all leave...and take me..us, with you

CEO_Corjet says:
CTO: Oh.. ::Sighs but continues to scan it.::

SO_Whoghat says:
::wonders just what he should do without weapon::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Looks at the woman:: All: That is very, very odd...wow, mind blowing...

OPS_Kerst says:
BW: US? How many are there?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::watches M and the surroundings, awaits M's next action::

Host M says:
CO: You are the same as the creatures and plants. Maybe one day you will evolve into what is truth.

CNS_Toni says:
:;waiting for M to explain::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Reaches to touch the dome, but pauses just short of it.::

CTO_Marek says:
CEO: Scans only detect unusual amounts of harmless radiation... That's all.

XO_Hicks says:
::Thinks this is going nowhere::

Beautiful_Woman says:
::shrugs:: OPS: I'm not sure...many.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Gently puts his hand upon the dome.:: CTO: Aye... That’s what I scanned.  ::Puts his tricorder away.::

Host M says:
Mr. Corjet: Do not concern your self about your ship. We have not harmed her yet, she is still in orbit.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: What you mean is, you will turn us into the plants and creatures.  You have no right to take us against our will.  I demand the release of my crew and those who you have kidnapped and transformed.

CTO_Marek says:
::nods to the CEO::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: this creature almost sounds like a Q, it would be their style to play another species like this

FCO_Stricker says:
::Takes a bit of food and a drink of water::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks about shooting the dome with his phaser::

Beautiful_Woman says:
::nods as the CO talks, hoping it will come true::

Host M says:
ACTION: The odd trill of semi laughter is louder and heard by all.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs deeply.:: M: But I have to.  ::Says softly.:: She's my ship...  I'm responsible for her... ::Points to the crew.:: And in part..  Them to.

Beautiful_Woman says:
::cringes at the laughter, squeezing OPS' hand tightly::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks up as she hears the laughter::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::hears the laughter getting louder, wonders if the others hear it now::

Host M says:
CO: You demand? And what will you do if your demand is not met?

FCO_Stricker says:
::Heard the laugher and sniggers a little::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: We will find a way to destroy you.  I would rather it did not come to that, however I will not hesitate to give the order.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Whispers:: CSO: Did you get a tricorder reading on these domes?

Host M says:
ACTION: Again the laughter permeates the minds of the crew.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to his tricorder again and sighs as he scans the dome again.  His eyes widen as he sees pure energy readings.:: Self: Hmm..

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Blocks the laughter from her mind:: M: What is it you want from us?

OPS_Kerst says:
M; Get out of my Mind!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::hears CO and whispers back::  CO: aye Sir, these domes are just energy, and these beings seem to be interlinked, if we can dampen the energy or break their link we might have a chance.

Host M says:
CO: Captain, you are as valiant as the rest but you cannot destroy what you do not understand.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Takes a bit of food and again, never wants to hear that laughter again::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: Explain.

CNS_Toni says:
::Holds hand to ear as the laughter gets louder::

SO_Whoghat says:
::doesn't like the laughter::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: it's a collective Sir ::shudders at the word::

FCO_Stricker says:
<Add but can't since it's in our minds::

Host M says:
ACTION: A feeling of sadness and loneliness come across to the crew.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Nods to the CSO::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Tries to block out the laughter from his mind as his wife had told him.  Then feels a flood of loneliness wash over his Pah.  Slowly walks over to his Engineers and orders them to jerry-rig an energy dampening field generator.::

CNS_Toni says:
::begins to feel sad, tries to shake it off::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::lets out a gasp as intense negative feelings overcome him, clutches chest and tries to make them go away::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Controls the sudden sad emotions she feels and waits for an explanation from the dome::  M: Explain what you want.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Starts to cry:: Self: Why, why did she have die? And dad, why him?

Host M says:
CO: We want nothing more than your company and entertainment. Join us, you will be happy here.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Wishes he had better emotional control as the sadness washes over him::

CNS_Toni says:
::Begins thinking of happier moments when she shared time with XO Hick back on Station::

CTO_Marek says:
::as a Vulcan he can control his emotions... not very well but he gives a try::

CEO_Corjet says:

FCO_Stricker says:
::Falls to the ground trying to control himself::

CNS_Toni says:
Self:: I must keep think of happier things, but all I want to do is cry::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::tries to bring the emotions under control and stands straight, looks back towards M, knows the crew will refuse to be....assimilated::

OPS_Kerst says:
M: happiness isn't something of bring to yourself, it something you bring to others. You cannot find happiness forcing others to entertain you. It's false, empty. It doesn't last.

CTO_Marek says:
::suddenly the sad feeling takes over his mind...::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Takes a deep breath as he starts to regain his composure.  Looks to his Captain.::

Host M says:
CO: You can be anything you like. A lovely flower blowing in the breeze. The wind in the trees. You have only to ask.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: We cannot join you.  We have families from where we call home.  Surely you can understand.  And even if we wanted to stay, our people will search for us and they will bring ships with weapons.

CTO_Marek says:
::he continues struggling against this feeling;;

FCO_Stricker says:
CNS: I can't handle this, my medical record clearly says that I can....help me!

CNS_Toni says:
::Tries to speak, wiping tears from cheeks::

CEO_Corjet says:
CO: How about bring them to the station? ::Stops as he voices the last word, wondering what would happen if they did.::

Host M says:
ACTION: The feeling of loss and sadness grows.

CNS_Toni says:
::Looks at FCO::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CEO: They belong here, Cmdr.  This is their home.

OPS_Kerst says:
M: You can't give us happiness. Everyone must find for himself or herself. Come with us, and we'll help you find your happiness, your entertainment amongst the stars.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods as a tear falls from his face, then turns and wipes it away.::

Host M says:
CO: Family......:: the dome glows again and the pulse is passed along through the rest of the domes.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Stands up and yells in sadness: M: Please, I've got medical problem, I can't handle this amount of stress, stop it please, right now! ::Crys::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at Kerst and give him the evil eye::

OPS_Kerst says:
::tries to focus, to beat back the sadness as a tear rolls down his face::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: Stop this, now!  You are hurting my people.

Host M says:
CO: We .....we do remember family. It was so long ago.......10's of thousands of your years. ::pauses again::

CNS_Toni says:
FCO: This is a feeling that apparently everyone is having to deal with at this time, I'm sure it is being done by this M... it is not just you, see, I cannot help crying myself even though I feel happy!

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: if this creature has incorporated all the crews into itself, then maybe it is lonely because all its part, the other crews, are lonely for their family, their friends, Sir, what you are saying is already happening.

CNS_Toni says:
::Looks at OPS crying, wants to comfort him but, stands her ground::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Indicates the rest of the domes.:: M: We?  As in the other domes?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Listens to the dome and nods the CSO::

Host M says:
CNS: Come forward and remind me of your family.

::too upset to do anything... really wants his cupcake::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CNS: Stand your station, Cmdr.

FCO_Stricker says:
CNS: I understand but I just can't handle this as you must know, I am so sad, and I know you are to....

CSO_Pavielion says:
::hears the word family, becomes sadden, only has his friends, or...what he hopes are his friends::

CNS_Toni says:
M: what you are doing is creating false emotions and that will not work with us.

OPS_Kerst says:
::How do I stop the sadness?::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Think happy thoughts!::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks around at the crew who are all crying and sighs::  M: Release us now.  We must go home to our families.

Host M says:
CO: Captain, we mean her no harm. We could have already taken you if we had chosen to do so.

CNS_Toni says:
FCO: Stand your ground, do not let this M break you down.

OPS_Kerst says:

CNS: I'll try ::Crys:: I'll try::

OPS_Kerst says:
::tries to think of a happy time::

CNS_Toni says:
FCO: You will not lose it, do you hear!, you will not.

OPS_Kerst says:
::tries to concentrate on when he felt happiest::

CSO_Pavielion says:

FCO_Stricker says:
CNS: I'm trying so hard, I'm trying.....::Is hold back from going crazy::

SO_Whoghat says:
::wonders if maybe there are a few crumbs in his pocket...::

OPS_Kerst says:
::thinks on that night, in the holodeck, with Toni, the feelings he felt then::

CNS_Toni says:
M: This crew is a family and we will not let you come between us.

Host M says:
CNS: Between you? ::ponders that::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Moves to the FCO who is falling apart, grabs his arm and drags him forward:: M: This is what happens to my people who are kept from their families.  ::Looks at the FCO::

Host M says:
FCO: Tell me why you cry.

FCO_Stricker says:
M: Because I miss the people in my life who have died or are away, it is an emotion that is very powerful....::Cries more::

OPS_Kerst says:
::concentrates on the feeling of happiness he had that night, tries to use them to beat back the sadness::

Host M says:
CO: It has been a long time since we were like you.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::looks around at the crew, knows that they are a family, his family, when one is gone or hurt, all suffer::

Host M says:
::takes in the FCO's feelings::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: Then you must understand, we cannot stay here.  Release us and release the others.

CSO_Pavielion says:
Self: if this creature brings us in, we will only bring more sadness, more sorrow

FCO_Stricker says:
M: I have an illness of sorts, I can't handle too much emotion stress...please just stop....::Still cries::

Host M says:
ACTION: All domes begin to glow brightly and the glow ripples between them.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Tries with his extremely limited telepathic abilities to reach out to M, trying to comfort M.:: ~~~~M: We of the Federation are a great family.  We span thousands of light years, we span many... Many civilizations.  Maybe we could help...  Maybe not.  But it is worth a try.~~~~  ::Wonders if he can connect to her.::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Watches as the domes glow brightly::

Host M says:
::listens to the CEO::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: What's going on? ::Looks at the domes::

Host M says:
ACTION: The ripple continues.

Beautiful_Woman says:
::peers around OPS as the domes glow brighter, thinks 'maybe this time.'::

Host M says:
ACTION: A feeling of well being comes to the crew.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Motions for the FCO to stay quiet::

CNS_Toni says:
M: These feelings of sadness you have projected upon us, we all have families and some things that make us feel sad, but we do not need to be reminded of them falsely, we all grieve in our own times and ways.. this is not normal for us to be saddened all the time.

CTO_Marek says:
::feeling a little bit overcome by the situation::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Steps back a moment but pauses.:: ~~~~M: Maybe we can help... Maybe not.  We can try though.~~~~ ::Hopes he's getting through to M.::

SO_Whoghat says:
::feels like he's got a cupcake in his pocket... checks and he does::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: Release the others and us.  Allow us to return to our families and live out our lives with them.

SO_Whoghat says:
::starts crying tears of joy::

CNS_Toni says:
::Begins to feel less effected by sadness::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles and continues to cry as feelings of well being flood his Pah and focuses harder.:: ~~~~M: What can we help you with?~~~~

Host M says:
CO: You have touched us. None of the others have taken the time to remind us of what it was to be like you. We will allow you and your crew to leave in peace. We apologize for our behavior.

CTO_Marek says:
::puts all his strength in fighting the feelings::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Is sill crouched down sobbing profusely at the emotional stress levels::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
M: Thank you.  ::Sighs::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::whispers::  Any: we are all family, everyone in the universe, we all fight to survive, stay alive, thrive, have feelings, in the eyes of the stars, we are all equal and all a universal family.

CEO_Corjet says:
M: M?  Is there anything we can to help you?  ::Turns to the Captain.::

OPS_Kerst says:

CNS_Toni says:
::sighs:

::finds himself aboard the Erie's Bridge tapping on Main Tactical Console ::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sheds a tear as he runs a full systems check on the Erie.  Then turns to the CO.:: CO: All systems fully operational sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL:: I wonder what happened to the others, the SFC, the BW, where are they now?

Host M says:
ACTION: The beautiful woman walks onto the bridge dazed and a little more than confused.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::walks over to station, has his mind full of what just happened, begins his duties and quietly thinks, hears the quiet around him::

OPS_Kerst says:
::sees the BW enter the bridge, and smiles::

Beautiful_Woman says:
::finds herself walking onto the bridge:: OPS: Mr. Kerst?

FCO_Stricker says:
::looks up and wipes a tear, says kind of sobbing:: CO: ETA in 30 minutes sir.....

CNS_Toni says:
::Notices that her SFC is no longer attached to her neck:: Self:: I wonder what became of that SFC?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands and turns to see the female from the planet on the Bridge.  Raises an eyebrow::  OPS: Scan for any extra passengers.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::uses internal sensors the scan to woman to see if she really is there, or maybe a sort of gift left in the crews' mind::

OPS_Kerst says:
BW: Yes, you’re free now, Call me P'Dar. I never did get your name.

FCO_Stricker says:

CTO: Run the scans again, Cmdr.

OPS_Kerst says:
