Prelude: Last time on Star Trek: ACTD Kootenai Station…

Cadet James Ferrone II along with new CNS Ensign Alana Torez have transported aboard the USS Erie from the USS Seahawk.  Admiral Mitchell on the USS Seahawk has established a high orbit and is awaiting instructions from Captain Pavielion on the Erie.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Finishes with his systems checks with his Engineers, turns to the CO:: CO: All systems fully operational Sir.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Standing by on the transporter pad, waiting to go at a moment's notice::

CNS_Alana says:
:Enters turbolift and heads for the Bridge, dragging her flight bag behind her::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Acknowledged, make sure the phasers are set to drill through the moon's surface, just under the shield grid.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
#::Sitting in the command chair on the Bridge of the USS Seahawk waiting for communications from the Erie::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks to OPS panel and opens a channel with the Seahawk::  COM: Seahawk: Admiral: Sir, we are preparing to initiate contact with the moon and negotiate the return of the children, but if that does not work we have a rescue plan.  Would you be willing to stay in orbit and provide assistance if the moon attacks the Erie?

CNS_Alana says:
::Anxiously waiting for the turbolift to reach the Bridge::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns back to his console and starts scanning the planet with passive sensors::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
#COM: Erie: CO: Acknowledged.  I will remain in high orbit until I receive further instructions.  Mitchell, out.

CNS_Alana says:
::Remembering the look on Commander Kerst's face as she whisked past him in the Transporter Room::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Adjusts his phaser and checks his suit::  CSO: How are you doing?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the CO:: CO: Aye, Sir.  I have the data for the phasers.  Just give me the signal and I'll commence.  ::Turns to the console and looks over the readouts::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS* Counselor, are you on your way to the Bridge, Ensign?

CSO_Taliza says:
OPS: As good as can be expected.  My hacking equipment is a go.

XO_Kerst says:
::In Transporter Room 1 hoping they won't be needed::

CEO_Corjet says:
Self: Targeting scanners locked.  Moon composition entered into the targeting computer. ::Taps a few more controls:: Phaser levels set.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: What's the atmosphere like outside of the dome?

CNS_Alana says:
::Exits the turbolift and steps onto the Bridge just as she receives the hail from the CO::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Breathable, much like a Class M planet.

OPS_Danforth says:
CSO: My assault equipment is ready to go and I can pick a lock like you can't believe.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Arrives on the Bridge with the rest of the crew::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: I am here, Sir.  ::Steps from the turbolift and places her flight bag on the floor next to the door::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Good.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps a few more controls:: Self: Phaser set on narrow beam. ::Leans into the console and taps intermittently:: There.  That'll do it.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Are you ready, Ensign?  We are about to open the channel.

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: So, we're just waiting for the "Go" signal from the Captain?

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Yup, hopefully we'll just stand here in all our gear and never have to go anywhere.

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Hopefully.  ::He says doubtfully::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Nods in agreement::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Checks his console's readouts one more time and re-checks the data with the computer.  Then turns to the Captain as he's ready::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks toward the CO:: CO: Yes, Sir, I have read the briefing.  Let's do this!

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Where there's hope, there's love and we have lots of love.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO/OPS/TO Smith: Let’s do a final equipment check. It'll make the time pass faster.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Double-checks his "laptop"::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Opens a channel and patches it through the transporter room so they can hear what is going on::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands next to the CO and turns toward the viewscreen::

XO_Kerst says:
<TO Smith> XO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears a beep on his console and looks at it.  Then sends a message back to his Assistant Engineer, notifying him to take care of things as he's busy::

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods in the direction of the CO::  CO: I cannot sense anything from the planet through those domes and I'm sure you are not just thinking this to be a traumatic situation.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Dome Base* Alien species currently inhabiting the dome structure, this is Captain Pavielion of the Federation Starship USS Erie.  You are in possession of several hundred children, which have been stolen from a Federation Starbase and several other locations.  You are in violation of Federation law and we are prepared to take any and all steps necessary to see to their safe return!  Please respond.

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Yes, Sir.  I've got everything I need.  Lock-pick set, phase pistol, survival gear, tricorder, phaser rifle, emergency med kit.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, have you also considered that the people on the planet may just want the children to be their own and not for slaves?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Possibly Ensign, we will see what they have to say.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears the word “Children” and becomes a bit frustrated and even a bit angry.  Then listens intently while continuing to do his duties::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears the communication::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Also a set of explosives.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response to the hail.  In a split second all power on the Erie goes offline.  A wide beam emanates from the middle of the domed city, its target the USS Erie.  The entire crew of the Erie is beamed into the dome all equipment and weapons are left on the ship.  They stand in a large, round arena like area with a platform at one end.  The floors of the arena are made of a shinny marble-like substance.  Everything is pristine, almost sterile in appearance.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees the location has changed::

XO_Kerst says:
::Sees the transporter room vanish:: ALL: WHAT THE.....

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir!

CNS_Alana says:
:Blinks as she rematerializes in the domed city::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turns to see the Bridge crew about 5m away::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Looks around and notices his phaser is gone::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stares around in some surprise.  Then narrows his eyes as he looks around, intent on finding his and the other children::

XO_Kerst says:
::Looks around and sees what appears to be the rest of the crew::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Sir, this looks like something out of medieval Earth.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Before them stands a tall and regal female, in her mid twenties wearing a long robe made of shinny silver fabric, her gleaming white hair covered by a hood.  She is holding a long golden staff with a sphere on the top.  Small gleaming gems of various colors adorn the staff along with intricate engraving and with each movement spheres of light bounce from its surface reflecting the artificial light from within the dome.  Surrounding her are several dozen Madestians standing around the perimeter of the arena, staring at the new arrivals.  All is quiet.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over toward the hooded female::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Smiles while slowly waving the staff from side-to-side::  CO: Welcome to Madestia, Captain.  My name is Premier Ushara.  I am the leader of our people.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Scans toward the woman "leader"::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The crew notices all the people around them are very young, mid teens to early twenties.  There are no older people present.  The people seem to be from different species, however they all have white hair and ice blue eyes.  They all wear long robes of white fabric with hoods over their heads.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks around and sees his crew, notices the female, approaches her::  Ushara: why have you stolen my crew from our vessel?  What are your intentions?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sees the female and moves towards her.  Hears her speak and suddenly realizes she's talking with his Captain.  Stops and moves back into formation with his Captain.  Doesn’t say a word, just stands there looking at her::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: I swear I read something about this in Admiral Kirk's old logs.

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods slowly as the hooded female addresses the CO::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Do you remember any details?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Smiles:: CO: Stolen? Captain, we have not "stolen" your crew.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Suddenly notices the tricorder was not there, just a figment of his imagination::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: you have forcefully relocated us from our vessel, I demand to know your intentions.  You are risking war with the Federation.

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: our children were taken without our permission, that would constitute stolen, don' t you think?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to her with his eyes dark, pain and anguish clearly upon his face::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Only bits and pieces.  There was a society run by children because the adults kept dying.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Waves her staff::  CO: Federation?  What is a Federation?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO/CNS: Suggestions?  What do you think this is?

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Standing close to Mr. Danforth::

CSO_Taliza says:
Ushara: The United Federation of Planets, a confederation of planetary governments headquartered on planet Earth.

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods::  Co: Perhaps we should try first finding out why they have brought us here, they seem friendly enough right now, let's not try to provoke them.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: Children?  I have no idea what you are referring to.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Looks over at the new Cadet and realizes this must be quite a new experience::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Puzzled by her question::  Ushara: the United Federation of Planets is a union of several planets and species.  We explore space and make peaceful contact with other alien races.  You have been stealing children from our space, under our law that is an act of war.  We demand their return!

OPS_Danforth says:
Cadet: Mr. Ferrone, trust me, you'll be an old hat at this in a few years.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Looks around and wonders if the remainder of his field assignment will be like this::

CNS_Alana says:
::Turns toward female:: Ushara: what we call children are the little ones here, what do you call them?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> All: We are a peaceful people.

CSO_Taliza says:
Ushara: Then why did an unidentified ship take about 500 children from our station and several ships docking it and transport them here?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Then why do you take other races from their homes and force them to live here?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Captain, please, we are a peaceful people.  We do not harm others.  Won't you join us for some refreshment?  Perhaps I may be able to help you locate your missing children?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hopes the admiral notices that they are no longer aboard the Erie::

XO_Kerst says:
::Listens while looking around. Slowly makes his way to the CO's side::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to her, his voice rises with anger, frustration and maybe even hatred as he can't hold back any more:: Ushara:  Where's Nalis, Emilia and Makayla?  Where are my children?!

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Standing idly by wondering what else is going to happen::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: We do not force anyone to live here.  Everyone is peaceful and kind here.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turns to the CEO and tries to restrain him::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: The children are down here, we witnessed as a large vessel transported them to your base, only a few hours ago.

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods again::  CO: Perhaps we should accept her invitation to a peaceful get together.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Waves her staff again, looking at the CEO:: CEO: I have no idea where your children are.

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: ::In Bajoran:: Sir, you'll only make things worse.

OPS_Danforth says:
Cadet: Just remain calm and everything will be alright.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Agreed, we obviously have no benefit from resisting, and perhaps we will find the children.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over at XO::

XO_Kerst says:
::Standing next to CO:: CO/CNS: I agree, with the knowledge level of technology they've shown, they could have easily killed us if they wanted to.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Faintly struggles with the CSO and also tries to reach out to Nalis, his one and only beloved son:: ~~~~Nalis: Nalis?~~~~

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Refreshments for your crew then?

CNS_Alana says:
CO/XO:  Agreed.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: ::While still holding CEO:: Sir, I advise we not do anything without at least having our tricorders.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Yes, and any help you can provide in locating our children will be appreciated.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The "refreshments" may have some kind of drug or poison.

CNS_Alana says:
::Keeping direct eye contact with Ushara::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Smiles:: CO: Very well, Captain, please follow me.  ::Steps off the platform::  Please walk beside me.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Just going to follow the crew's lead on this one::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: we have no other option Lieutenant, at least we are down here.  As for the refreshments, I never said we had to eat them.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the CSO, his voice broken, talks in Bajoran:: CSO: I can't find him here.. ::Blinks away his tears but fails and cries a  bit::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Motions for the crew to follow::  Ushara: tell me, where do you come from?

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: ::In Bajoran:: Don't worry, commander.  We'll find your children.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Follows the CO as ordered::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stepping from the platform and follows the CO, XO, Ushara::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Walks slowly, nodding to her people as she leads the crew of the Erie to the Great Hall::  CO: We will have refreshments in the Great Hall.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Wipes his tears and follows at the end of the group, barely able to keep up with them::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Supports CEO as we walk along::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Why, I am from Madestia, Captain.  Where do you think I am from?  This is my home.

XO_Kerst says:
::Quietly:: CNS: Can you sense anything from our hosts?

CSO_Taliza says:
Ushara: Madestia is where we are?

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks ahead, turning around as she walks, looking at the gems and the walls and the floor covered with them:

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CSO: Yes, this is Madestia.  It is lovely here.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks down as the strain of these seemingly burdensome years finally show their toll on him::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the crew files out of the arena area, the people of Madestia follow close behind.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: <Whispering> I only sense peaceful surroundings, I do not sense deception, right now, but tigers are known to pounce, later, right?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks around and tries to get a number of the people in robes::  Ushara: then why have you never made contact with the Federation, your moon is so close to our border.  Do your prefer isolation?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara>  ::Turns and heads into a large structure:: CO: We never leave our home, Captain.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Walks up to the CO:: CO: ::Whispers:: I may not be empathic nor do I have my tricorder, but my gut is telling me these people were brainwashed.

CNS_Alana says:
::Speaking up:: Ushara:: This is a lovely place, who is your designer?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Drags his feet as he walks, his back bent, he seems to lumber with a burden upon his back than walk::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stifling a snicker::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: We have a team of builders.  They design our structures and build them.

XO_Kerst says:
CNS:: "Step into my parlor said to the spider to the fly.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Still following Ushara::  CSO: Perhaps, we will see.  ::Turns to Ushara::  Ushara: If you never leave, where are your older people?  You must age?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: ::Whisper:: And I wouldn't be surprised if these people will try to do the same to us.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Older people?  We have always remained just as you see us, Captain.  We have no "Old" people here.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears Ushara:: Ushara: You mean you folks never age?

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: do your people always remain the same age?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Try to locate a means of getting back to the Erie or contacting the Seahawk.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Enters the Great Hall::  All: Here we are.  Please... ::Motions for the crew to sit at the Great Table::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The crew enters the Great Hall where they see a very long table made of the same marble-like material.  The table is very low with large brightly colored pillows lined up along the floor around the perimeter of the table.

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: ::Whispers:: Why is it these civilizations always have better transporters than us?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: Yes, we have always been this age.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sees the others sit in order, then forces himself to act like a Starfleet Officer and straightens up and sits::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sounds like this planet has regenerative properties in the atmosphere.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks around the Hall, wonders if these people have ever heard of chairs::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: ::Whispers:: We gotta build a better shield.  I'm tired of being beamed to weird places.

XO_Kerst says:
::Whispers:: OPS: I don't know, but stay close, we'll try to slip away and find that transporter to put us back on the Erie.

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: Do your people reproduce?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Decides not to sit at the table but instead walks around and explore::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Thinks about her comment::  Ushara: if you do not mind my asking, how old are you?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Sits at the head of the Great table and motions for everyone else to be seated::  CO: Why, I don't know, Captain.  As long as I can remember I have been as you see me now.

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Whispering::

CNS_Alana says:
::Looking at the pillow on the floor and the Great, big table::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Clears his throat as he looks around, constantly reminding himself that he's a Starfleet Officer::

XO_Kerst says:
::Slowly moves to the outside of the room, looking for other passages::

CSO_Taliza says:
Ushara: I think the Captain means how long have you personally existed?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: Reproduce?  What is "reproduce"?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Decides to follow her directions, motions for the majority of the crew to take a seat::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Slowly moves the other way, making sure to keep the XO in sight::

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara:  To make new, Make more people, do you have babies, Newborns species?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears the word babies and turns to the CNS, then looks at Ushara and the others as they talk::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Cocks her head to one side with a puzzled look on her face::  CNS: Babies?

CNS_Alana says:
::Making sure that she keeps Ushara talking while the others are looking about::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes a peek out of a door::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The servants begin serving food and beverage to all at the table.  The servants are all male of varying species with jet-black hair and dark eyes.  By observation their ages range from late twenties to early thirties.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: yes, surely your species has a method of ::Thinks for a moment::  making smaller beings....to carry on your traits?  You do have children of your own?  Smaller beings you care for?

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: little people who cannot walk or talk and you have to carry them around until they can, smaller people than you.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Thinks to himself that it seems they capture or enslave older people::

XO_Kerst says:
::Watches the servants enter, tries to see what's behind the doors::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Captain, I believe some of your crews are straying.  Please have them join us at the Great table.  ::Motions with her hand to the Great table::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Ummm....not that I am aware of.  We have all just been like you see us for as long as we can remember.

CNS_Alana says:
::Taking a pillow at the table and sitting upon it::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees no one outside, tries to slip through the door to the corridor::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Raises eyebrow that she noticed the crewmembers trying to escape, decides it best to listen, speaks up::  XO: Commander, that is enough exploring, please return to the table.

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: then you mean there is never anyone new here, no one who is not here before now?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A large group of Madestians located outside of the door where the CSO just exited.  They gently push him back into the Great Hall.

XO_Kerst says:
CO/Ushara: My apologies. I was admiring the architecture. This is a lovely building.  Perhaps I could see more of it later?

CSO_Taliza says:
Madestians: Hey!  I just got this uniform pressed.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to beat the pillow down so it is not so lumpy::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: As far as I know, yes.  ::Nods to the XO::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Stands near another door::

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: What do you people do here?  Do you work, play, what is your purpose on your world?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Waves her hand at the food and beverages on the table::  All: Please, enjoy...  ::Picks up a piece of blue colored fruit and takes a bite::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: We have workers, yes.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Sits down at the table near the XO::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Do any of your people die as in stop living their existence comes to an end?

XO_Kerst says:
::Shrugs, tries some blue fruit::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Still standing, will not sit or eat::

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods: toward XO and motions for him to come sit next to her::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sits there and looks at the food and drinks.  Then closes his eyes and makes a prayer to The Prophet, asking for help and guidance::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: What is "death"?  I do not know this word.

XO_Kerst says:
::Moves next to CNS::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Claps her hands two times, signaling the musicians to begin the entertainment.  Strange music begins to play while 10 scantily dressed females appear and begin dancing around the table.  The dancers, all very lovely and of varying species, have black hair and dark eyes.  By observation their ages range from late twenties to early thirties.

XO_Kerst says:
::Whispers:: I think they're immortal.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: <Whispering>, Sir, they do not die, they are not born, they do not reproduce.

XO_Kerst says:
::Tries not to look too hard at the dancers::

CSO_Taliza says:
Ushara: Getting back to Ensign Alana's prior question, do you folks have sex?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Notices Ushara eating the food, hopes it is safe and takes a small bite::  Ushara: it means your existence comes to an end, you as a being no longer function  ::Wonders how she can be so clueless as to the ways of the universe::

XO_Kerst says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CNS: Androids?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A couple of the dancers get close to the Cadet and OPS, draping their scarves over their heads.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Raises eyebrow and tosses the CSO a glare::

CNS_Alana says:
XO: If androids, they have a producer, right?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CSO: What is "sex"?  ::Takes another bite from her blue fruit::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Gives a look back to the CO, stating that we had to be blunt::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Likes the feeling of the scarves being draped over his head.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sits there and starts to slightly rock back and forth in his seat, barely noticeable::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Mumbles to himself:: Poppa said there'd be days like this.

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Yes, but they may not have been programmed with that information?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs::  Ushara: I apologize, we are obviously confusing you.  Let us go to the beginning.  How did you get on this moon, by a ship perhaps?

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Looks over at Danforth:: OPS: Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
Ushara: It is where a male and a female have intimate, pleasurable contact...

OPS_Danforth says:
::Thinks: Hmm....I’m single.... No, no...duty::

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Can you sense any thoughts or emotions from them?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: I don't know.  I just know I have always been here.  ::Cocks her head looking at the CO::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hopes the crew realizes that they are all on duty::

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Has no trouble standing at attention::

OPS_Danforth says:
CIV: Keep your mind focused on the mission, cadet, as best you can.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Leans to the CNS::  CNS: What do you make of this all, Counselor?  I find it hard to believe that they understand so little.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: I cannot read any emotions just the peaceful feelings of this place.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The dancers spin and dance around the table, making obvious advances towards the male crewmembers.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over at OPS as she senses his emotions heighten::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Still standing, noticing the dancers approach the male crewmembers::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns, doubts the dancers would like it if he decides to sink his fangs into one of them, is getting annoyed by the aliens::

XO_Kerst says:
Ushara: What is your primary function?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Doesn't even notice the dancers or pay them any attention as he's too worried and concerned for his children:: Self: Nalis... Makayla... Emilia...

OPS_Danforth says:
::Looks at the girls and notices them, feeling their touches on his body and trying to ignore them::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> XO: I am Premier.  I am the leader of my people.  ::Notices no one is eating or drinking::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Now, Captain, tell me what of your missing children?  ::Really doesn't know what children are but is determined to help them find them::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, it appears to me that they are trying to lure the male crew with these dancers right now,

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees a dancer approach him, decides to grab her and feel her skin, if it is skin::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Frowns at the CSO for grabbing one of the dancers::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Our children are very much like us, only smaller in size.  They are not fully developed adults.  Do you remember more little people arriving here a short while ago?

XO_Kerst says:
Ushara: Who made you premier?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Well, they aren't robotic.  ::Lets go of the dancer::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: They could be androids with no emotions except to do what they are told.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara>  ::Pauses and thinks then shakes her head:: CO: Not that I recall, Captain.  XO: I have always been Premier, for as long as I can remember.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Standing straight up trying to make himself think un-sexy thoughts::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Yes, thank you, please do not test if they are able to reproduce next.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Two of the dancers move in on the XO while another stays close to the Cadet.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns again::  Ushara: I appreciate your hospitality, but would you please have your dancers leave?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Captain, perhaps if you tell me from the beginning why you have come to my home, I can help you?

OPS_Danforth says:
::Wishes he had a tricorder to see if they had any kind of pheromones they are releasing::

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over toward the dancers then back at Ushara::

XO_Kerst says:
::Sees the dancers, picks up another piece of blue food and turns to them:: Dancers: Excuse I'm trying to eat here, go dance over there.  ::Points towards Bailey::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Grins and watches the dancers::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Still standing, observing, not even going to eat the strange food::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: We were chasing a starship that took our children away from us. That starship then beamed them down here.  Perhaps it would be easier if you could take us on a tour of the entire compound?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Collapses face first upon the table, the strain of everything braking him down.  Falls unconscious into a bowl of fruit with a great commotion as bowls break and some food goes flying all over::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Thinks:: CO: Of course.  ::Motions for the dancers to leave and the musicians to stop playing the music::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Thinks the Captain has a good plan and wonders why these dancers are here and not encircling the women::

CNS_Alana says:
XO: That was a good move, Sir.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir!  I'm sorry, Sir but I need to get the Chief back aboard the ship.  Would our hosts be so gracious to let us?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Thank you perhaps we will find what we are looking for.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over at CEO as he collapses into his bowl of fruit::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts drooling as he lays unconscious::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Looks at the CEO with his face in a bowl of fruit::  CO: Is he asleep?  ::Nods towards the CEO::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Hopes the Captain gets his drift::

CSO_Taliza says:
Ushara: Would you also allow us to have a few tricorders from our ship?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: No, he is under great stress from his children missing.  Perhaps you could return him from where he came, so he can heal?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Takes a last bite of the fruit then gracefully stands as a servant hands her the staff::  CSO: Tricorders?

CNS_Alana says:
::Shakes her head::

CSO_Taliza says:
Ushara: An essential equipment we need.

CNS_Alana says:
::Turns back to conversation with Ushara::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Stands from the still lumpy pillow and waits for Ushara to start to tour of the compound, hoping to come across their children::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: We have a place where he can rest.  ::Claps her hands and two servants enter and move to the CEO::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Gets between the servants and the CEO::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Can a crewmember go with him, to tend to him?

OPS_Danforth says:
::Looks to the Captain to see if he should go with him or the CEO::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO/OPS: Go with Randy. We'll catch up later.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Yes, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Of course, Captain, if your man will allow my servants to help him to the Great Resting Place.  ::Glances at the CSO::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Doesn't like the sound of "The Great Resting Place"::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts to dream of people taking his children away::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/Ushara: I'll carry him.  Your servants can just lead the way.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Of course  ::Nods to XO, CSO and OPS to go with the CEO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> ::Nods to the CSO and to the servants::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The two servants lead the XO, OPS and the CSO who is carrying the CEO to the Great Resting Place.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Picks up CEO and puts his arm over his shoulder.  Motions OPS to put CEO's other arm over his shoulders::

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: Let us get back to our reason for being here.  Why have you brought us to your world?

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Do what you can to make everything all right again. ::Nodding his head to the side::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Dreams of trying to catch the people who's taken his children, tries to run faster to catch up to them but his efforts make him lag farther and farther behind::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Do what you can to "explore" as much as possible.  ::Turns back to Ushara::  Ushara: Shall we continue?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Follows servants:: CEO: ::In Bajoran:: Don't sleep too long, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: We were curious as to who was outside our dome.  Our systems detected your ship so we brought you here.

XO_Kerst says:
::Follows CSO, looking down every passage way::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
::Taps OPS on shoulder, starts to fall behind CSO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara>  ::Walks slowly out of the Great Hall leading the crew to the front gates of the city::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Do you frequently bring others here?  ::Following her::

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: Our sensors followed another ship, which had our little ones on it and the children entered your dome.  Did your sensors pick them up at all?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Tries to struggle with the people in his dream to get his children back, but feels his movements restrained even more the more he tries to fight them::

CSO_Taliza says:
Servants: How much further?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Turns to make sure the CNS and CIV are with him::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The servants lead the CSO and OPS through the corridors to a large set of doors.  They open the doors wide allowing them to enter.  Inside there is very beautiful furniture and a bed.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Takes the CEO with the CSO to "The Great Resting Place"::

CNS_Alana says:
::Following CO, looking around at the Great Gates::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: Not that I am aware of.

OPS_Danforth says:
CSO: I gotta wonder where they get all this stuff Mr. Taliza.

XO_Kerst says:
::Takes a "wrong" turn while following the CSO & OPS::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees a bed, takes CEO there and lays him down, seeing the XO didn't follow them in::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: So we are the only ones you have detected outside your dome?

OPS_Danforth says:
::Tries to make sure no one notices the XO leaving::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara>  CO: Yes, Captain.  ::Stops when they reach the Great Gates to the city::  All: This is the Great Gate.  No one ever ventures outside of these gates.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Trips on purpose and cautiously looks back to see the XO leave::

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: On our ship we are allowed certain devices for protection and also devices that tell us where we are, we had them on our bodies when we were brought here, may we have them back now?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Ushara: Why?  What is out there?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CNS: We do not have your "devices".

CEO_Corjet says:
::Feels like he's been knocked down to the ground as he's laid upon the bed, as he still dreams of struggling with the captors of his children::

XO_Kerst says:
::Heads down a hallway, trying to avoid detection while looking for a control panel, access terminal, anything he can use to find out more information::

CSO_Taliza says:
Servants: What kind of medical equipment do you have here?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: I am not certain but the Great Book tells us not to venture outside of these gates and we never have.  ::Turns and walks down a pristine street::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Follows::  Ushara: Where is this Great Book, may we see it?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The servants do not speak as they do not understand or hear what the CSO is saying to them.

CSO_Taliza says:
Servants: What can we use to make him better?

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: What Great Book is this?  Where is it, may I see it?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Ushara> CO: Oh no, Captain.  No one is allowed to see the Great Book except me.  ::Shakes her head::

XO_Kerst says:
::Continues "exploring" trying to find something he can use::

CNS_Alana says:
Ushara: Where is it?

Host SM_Darlene says:
