::Lying in her bed.  Turns over slowly and Grabs her pillow, sinking deeper into a sound sleep::

XO_Kerst says:
::Dreaming of...well...just dreaming::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sleeps in his bed with his wife.  Dreaming of people taking his children away.  Struggles with his nightmare, tossing and turning about, mumbling in ancient Bajoran::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Lying in bed peacefully dreaming of electric sheep::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Knocks a pillow onto the floor, rolls around again, and dreaming of giant jumja sticks taking over the station::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Snores reach 125 dBs... well, not really, but sounds like it::

XO_Kerst says:
::Smiles::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Unbeknownst to the crew, a strange cloud begins to surround the station.  It seems harmless enough, just some harmless gases.  The night crew in Operations doesn't feel it necessary to notify the Captain and carries on with their duties.

CNS_Alana says:
::Begins tossing and turning::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The time is now 0430 hours and the crew stirs awake ready to face the day.   They awaken to find there is no power, no lights, no nothing and there is thick dust and cobwebs all over the place.  The light inside the station is very dim.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Still snoring, sound asleep, noises from snoring shaking the bulkheads::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Looks around and hits his COM badge::

CNS_Alana says:
::Wakes and asks computer to turn up lights only to see that they do not respond::  Computer: Respond, lights!

CTO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The COM badge does not respond.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Yawns, begins to slowly awaken::

XO_Kerst says:
::Rolls over tries to see time, realizes the clock is off::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Taps badge again, trying to initiate a COM signal::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Begins to hack and cough, opens his eyes and can see nothing::

CTO_Danforth says:
::gets up and quickly changes into uniform::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer does not respond.

XO_Kerst says:
Computer: What time is it?

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands and reaches for her COM badge:: *CEO*: The computer is not responding to command, is there problems going on?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Struggles out of bed, then needs to go to the latrine to wash his face.  Walks in and suddenly sees that the light won't turn on:: Self: What's the matter now? ::Walks over to a console on the wall and taps on the buttons then finally sees that there seemingly isn't any power::

CTO_Danforth says:
Computer: Computer, activate lights.  ::Notices nothing responds::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Throws a his Captain's jacket on and a pair of uniform pants, walks to his desk, extracts a phaser, flashlight, and tricorder::

XO_Kerst says:
Computer: Computer?  Computer respond!

CTO_Danforth says:
::Gets dressed and walks out into the hall::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Still snores, and snores, and snores::

XO_Kerst says:
*OPS*: Kerst to Operations, what's going on?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The phaser, flashlight and tricorder are old and do not function.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response from the computer.

XO_Kerst says:
::Gets up, gets dressed and grabs a phaser::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks over to a wall panel, attempts to clear the environment and activate the lights, notices that the panel is not responding and that his equipment appears old, out of date, and is not working::

CNS_Alana says:
:: Waiting for CEO to respond to her call, she stands and rushes to put on her clothing::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Thinks that if anyone else is around, they'd go to Operations and so he heads there too::

XO_Kerst says:
::Phaser and equipment appear old and nonfunctional, grabs sword::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CEO finds his children's room empty and dusty.  Nothing left but a few broken toys laying about the floor.

CEO_Corjet says:
*AE*: Tamar? What's going on down there? ::Doesn't hear the chime and taps on his COM.  Then walks over to his wife and wakes her up.  Let’s her know that there’s probably a problem and he's heading to Main Engineering::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Danforth tries to open the doors but finds he is able to walk through the door without opening them.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs, does not know what to expect, finds a large pole, resembling a bat, and walks to his door, begins to force it open::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Still sleeping, snoring so loud, the whole station should hear it::

XO_Kerst says:
::Straps on sword, heads towards the doors and tries to pry them open::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Nearly jumps in surprise and wonders, is he dead?::

CNS_Alana says:
::Notices that her clothing is older versions of Starfleet uniforms::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Continues directly to Operations::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Kerst heads to the doors and when he tries to pry them open his hands go right through the doors.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Puts his cloths on and walks into his children’s room.  His eyes open wide in terror as he sees broken toys and no children.  Screams wildly:: ALL: Nalis?!?  Makayla?  Emilea?? ::Runs out the door and rams into it as it doesn't open.  Gets up and tries to open the doors manually::

CNS_Alana says:
::Notices her uniforms are all dusty::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Almost falls down, goes straight through the door::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Enters operations by walking through the door and looks around::

XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Okay, this is weird! ::Experiments putting his hand through the door, the wall, etc::

CNS_Alana says:
::Coughing from the dusty environment in her Quarters::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Still sleeping, as nothing is around to wake him::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Randy walks through the unopened doors.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Needs to get to Operations, heads to a Jeffries tube junction::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The station is dead and deserted.  Cobwebs hang from the walls throughout the station.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Walks straight through the operations doors::

XO_Kerst says:
::Experiments going through the floor:

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses a few moments as he considers what just happened:: Self: Did we die?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Tries to activate the monitors or do something::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks around as he walks down the corridor, sees nobody, is surprised and confused to see cobwebs and dust everywhere::

CNS_Alana says:
::Heads for the door and it does not open when she approaches so quickly that she passes right through it::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO's foot goes through the deck plating.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to take the Jeffries tube hatch off, and just goes straight through, begins crawling towards Operations::

CNS_Alana says:
::Gasping::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Rolls over to side where the alarm clock is supposed to be::

XO_Kerst says:
::Watches his foot go through the floor:: XO: Note to self, walk carefully.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response from the computer or from any of the dusty, blacked-out consoles.  PADDs laying about Operations are inactive, nothing but a chunk of old plastic and metal.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Falls to his knees and starts the Bajoran Death Chant::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Sits down on the step near his station and looks around::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Parts eyes a bit and sees the alarm clock blank::

XO_Kerst says:
::Decides to head towards Operations by literally climbing up the walls, through the ceilings until he emerges in Operations::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Wonders, is this what it's like in the afterlife?::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Continues crawling, slowly approaching Operations, is glad that he is very familiar with the station's layout and can find his way in the dark::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: As the CEO falls to his knees his knees go through the deck plating.

CNS_Alana says:
Self: My God!  What has happened to me?  ::Thinking that she is the only one who this has happened to::

XO_Kerst says:
::Wonders when the Valkeryies will come to take him to Valhalla::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Darts awake:: Self: By the Prophets!  I have to be running late!  ::Starts to get out of bed, when he turns and aloud:: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Approaches the entrance to Ops, goes straight through the Jeffries tube entrance and enters Operations::

CNS_Alana says:
::Pushes her hand back through her door and quickly pulls it back::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Gets to his feet::  All: Hello?  Is anyone else in here?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Scrambles out of bed, seeing the dead body::

XO_Kerst says:
::Emerges from the floor into Operations, briefly ponders how strange that was then looks around::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Captain?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Frantically reaches out to brace himself as he falls, screaming along the way.  Is barely able to stop himself as he reaches the next deck; Deck 9, west wing.  Looks up and down the corridors calling out:: ALL: Anyone here?  Hello?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The station is completely empty, dark and foreboding.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Notices the body has its back to him at his position::

CNS_Alana says:
::Begins to slowly move down the corridor watching as her feet seem to go through the floor , with every step::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears a noise::  CTO: Commander?  ::Moves toward his voice::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Captain?  Are...are we dead?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO enters Operations through the floor.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Walks around the bed to see whose body it is::

XO_Kerst says:
CO/CTO: Hello, are you dead too?

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: Over here!  CO/XO: If we're all together, I don't think we died.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns at his question, sees the XO as well::  All: I believe it is way too early to begin thinking like that.  We need to find out how many of us there are, and go from there.

XO_Kerst says:
CTO/CO: This is not how I pictured the afterlife.

CTO_Danforth says:
CO/XO: I think we're caught in some sort of out of phase dimension or something.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks around at his surroundings and surmises that he's long dead and the station is abandoned.  He tries to head back to his Quarters trying to see if he'll find his Ahkayah or children::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks through the corridor calling out for anyone::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turns down bedding to see who it is::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO sees his body lying on the bed.

CNS_Alana says:
::Calls out:: Hello? Hello? anyone here?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CNS's voice echoes through the dark and empty corridors.

XO_Kerst says:
CTO: If were just out of phase, why does the station appear to be so old and run down?

CSO_Taliza says:
Self: Th-tha-tha-that-that's m-m-m-m-m-me?!  HEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Raises his eyebrow at how quickly theories are being made up::  XO/CTO: we will speculate later, right now, I want to know who else is out there.  We will wait a few more minutes, see who else arrives, and then begin a general search of the station for others

CNS_Alana says:
::Brushes cobwebs away as she reaches the turbolift:: Self: YUK!

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Great idea, Sir.  I think it would be good to stay together instead of splitting up.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Assumes the crew knows to get to Operations in such a case::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CEO's voice echoes in the corridors.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Thinks he hears the Chief::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO/XO: I think I hear the Chief.

CNS_Alana says:
::Pushes hand through turbolift door::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO/CTO: IF these theories hold water, why would the station just be left here, surely they would disassemble it.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Inspects his body, tries to touch it::

XO_Kerst says:
CO/CTO: Agreed, if no else shows up, we should stick together. If more show, we can divide into teams. I don't think we should wander alone.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Continues to call out as he makes his way to his Quarters::  ALL: Hello?  Am I in the land of the Prophets?  ::Finally makes it to his Quarters and sees there's no one but cobwebs and dust::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Perhaps we're in a holo simulation?

CNS_Alana says:
::Will's herself to just float up and through the ceiling to get to Ops::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO/XO: For now, look around Ops and see if you can find anything of interest or anything that works.  ::Turns to CTO::  CTO: See if the COM system is at all functional.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response to the CEO's calls.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: If so, I will see to it that heads roll.  ::Walks off to examine his Ready Room::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CNS begins to float up through the turbolift shaft towards Operations.

XO_Kerst says:
CTO: Check Tactical, I'll check OPS.

CTO_Danforth says:
CEO: CHIEF!!!  IN HERE!!!!  ::Begins looking at the COM system::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Plugs his ears at the CTO's yelling then walks through his Ready Room doors and looks around::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Decides he needs to go to operations, but since he's a ghost, can float there::

XO_Kerst says:
::Checks what should be the OPS station for any clues, any hint at what has happened, and to try to check the condition of the station::

CNS_Alana says:
::Her head begins to pop through the floor in Ops and she looks around::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Flies out the bulkhead, then flies toward operations via the vacuum of space::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CNS's head appears through the deck plating in Ops.

XO_Kerst says:
::Sees something move out of the corner of his eye, turns and sees the CNS rise through the floor::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Attempts to access his personal computer, knowing it has several backup systems, and is protected from the station's systems since it has many classified files on it::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CNS and CSO appear through the deck plating in Operations.

CNS_Alana says:
::Calling out to anyone:: Anyone here?

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Hi, nice entrance.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Flies through a bulkhead into operations, and continues to float around the place::

CNS_Alana says:
::Rises completely through floor and wills herself to stop in mid air::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: None of the consoles in Ops are functional.  All consoles are dark and covered with a thick layer of dust.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Thinks The Prophets are testing him again in his last moments before reaching The Land of the Prophets:: ALL: What do you want of me?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Attempts to access the station COM systems, knowing that of all systems other than life support, it is the most heavily shielded and has back-up power supplies lasting well over a thousand years::

CNS_Alana says:
XO: You like that entrance, eh?  What is going on here, you know anything?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs, looks around for any clues on his desk or on the floor::

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over and sees CSO appearing in the same manner as she does::

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Yes, I did that one myself earlier. As to what's happened, either we're all sharing an afterlife together, or something as yet unexplained has happened to us. Take your pick.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees the XO:: XO: The spirit of Lieutenant Taliza Cal reporting for duty.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Nearly jumps when he sees the CNS and the CSO::  CNS/CSO: Geeze Louise!  Can you NOT do that?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Makes his way slowly towards Main Engineering, still wondering why he's here:: ALL: So is this my last test? I don't know what to do or say... ::Trails off as he pauses before a bulkhead and then walks through it.  He's starting to accept the fact that he's dead::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Fall in with the rest of the dead and try  to figure out what's going on.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response from the Prophets.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Finds nothing, walks back into Operations and finds more officers::

CNS_Alana says:
CTO: Sorry to surprise you, but I thought this would do nicer than trying to figure out how to make the turbolift go without power.

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: Any luck, P'Dar?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks around::  All: who is missing?  It appears that only the senior staff is still on the station.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: ::Chuckles:: Fall in.  Giving my current position, that would be literal.  
::Lands on the deck::

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: Can you sense anyone?

XO_Kerst says:
CTO: No, you?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: One of the support beams in Ops falls to the floor, crushing one of the consoles.  Dust flies up from everywhere.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: I feel nothingness, empty.  I only feel the senior staff, no other members of the crew.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I guess you know that we're all dead, and we're haunting this station.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Can see that the CEO is missing from amongst them, jumps back from the falling beam::

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: Nothing.  I just can't believe we're all here, though.

CTO_Danforth says:
All: I want to cough, but the dust isn't bothering me.

CNS_Alana says:
::Watches as the beam falls to the floor::

CTO_Danforth says:
CNS: Do you always wear that to bed, Counselor?  ::Looks at the CNS::

XO_Kerst says:
::Sees beam fall:: ALL: I guess Randy didn't keep this place up. Speaking of which, I wonder if he's haunting Main Engineering.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns::  All: All right, we do not know what has happened or why, but until we figure it out.  I want NO more talk about us being dead!  Is that understood?!

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Sir, that's what happens with most haunting’s.  Ghosts, like us, inhabit the last place they've lived.

XO_Kerst says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
CTO: Wear what?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir!  I beg to differ.  I saw my body!

CTO_Danforth says:
CNS: That....rather slinky outfit. ::Turns a little red::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Is surprised once again::  CSO: That does not guarantee anything: there is to be no more talk of death, understood, Lieutenant?!

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks down at her outfit::  CTO: But...I thought I changed my clothes when I got up!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CEO walks through the doors of engineering only to find the place dusty and broken.  All the consoles are blacked out and there are overturned chairs and old, broken tools scattered about the floor.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, permission to speak freely?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Wonders why Randy still has not shown up::  CSO: Granted.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, assuming we’re not dead then a partial spatial phase ship coupled with a time shift seems to fit our present circumstances or a holo simulation.

CTO_Danforth says:
CNS: Well, it was dark.  ::Tries to give her an out for wearing such a slinky outfit::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: If we're not dead, then how could I have seen my own body?  How could we pass through solid objects?  How could I float around this room?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks around at to what use to be his Main Engineering.  Goes to one of the consoles and stands there.  Looking at the dark screen:: Self: What did I do to deserve this?  Forever haunting Kootenai Station?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Yes, anything is possible, Commander.  We will begin trying to find out what is going on.

XO_Kerst says:
::Actually rather likes what the CNS is wearing::

CTO_Danforth says:
XO: I'm betting on a simulation or a phase shift.  I don't think there was necessarily a time shift.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, if Randy is among us, I think he would head to Main Engineering.  Permission to go to Main Engineering and look for him?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, I could go back to my Quarters and find more suitable clothing I'm sure I could get there and back rather quickly if I go through the floor.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: There are several explanations I can think of: a simulation, a drug-induced dream, anything.  I simply do not want any assumptions for the time being.

CTO_Danforth says:
CNS: No, no...stay. ::Smiles at the CNS::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, it's not an assumption.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts praying to the Prophets for guidance away from this terrible place::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Just a moment.  ::Counts who is there::

CNS_Alana says:
::Blushing at the thought of standing there scantly clad in front of all those male officers::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
All: Okay, we are not getting anything done up here.  XO/CSO: You two go to Main Engineering, try to find the CEO and any clues as to what is happening.  CTO/CNS: We will visit the Promenade and the main docking ring.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: An old hyperspanner falls from the second level in main engineering, landing next to the CEO.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
All: Meet up back here in two hours, questions?

CTO_Danforth says:
CNS: I'd give you my coat if I had one, milady.

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods as CO gives the orders::  CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Raises hand::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Yes, Lieutenant?

CNS_Alana says:
::Chuckles at little as she manages to fall in next to CTO::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Okay, we'll go down.  ::Centers himself over where Main Engineering should be then starts to sink through the floor::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Jumps in surprise and looks to the hyperspanner that fell near his feet. Sighs with relief as he picks it up and closely examines it:: Self: I wonder how that fell? ::Pauses:: Or could it be a sign from the Prophets?  Do I need to fix something?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A creaking sound can be heard throughout the station, much like an old house settling.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Without working chronometers, how will we know two hours have passed?

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Wait for me, Sir!

CTO_Danforth says:
::Stands in line next to the CNS::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Use your best judgment.  You should have some form of internal clock, now get going.

CNS_Alana says:
::Hears an eerie, creaking noise::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Thinks: Please don't fall apart on us::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO floats down through the deck plating.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Thinks: I'm not Swiss::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO/CNS: Now let's go!  First we will visit the main Promenade.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: We improvise Mister Taliza, now move it. ::Sinks though the floor out of Operations::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Floats through the floor following XO::

CNS_Alana says:
CTO: Okay, so how do you want to get there floating high or low?

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears creaking sounds, does not like the thought of it, but begins to force himself to "sink" through the floor into the Promenade::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO disappears through the deck plating, as he follows the XO to Main Engineering.

CTO_Danforth says:
CNS: I'll go high.  By the way, the outfit is attractive on you.  I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO/CNS: Come now, follow me down.  ::Continues sinking::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Follows the CO and stays "high"::

CNS_Alana says:
CTO: Thanks. I'll fly low. Listen to me, as if I was born flying.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks closer at the hyper spanner then tosses it aside::

CNS_Alana says:
::Wills herself to sink through the floor::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Continues to float toward Main Engineering::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The hyperspanner hits the floor again, sending an eerie echo vibrating through Main Engineering.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Thinks that this is an interesting experience, notices that they have arrived on the Promenade, stops his sinking and waits for the CTO and CNS::

XO_Kerst says:
::Continues down into Main Engineering::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO and CSO float down into Main Engineering from the ceiling.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stands there looking at the dead console, shaking a bit as the sounds of the echoes die down::

XO_Kerst says:
::Spots Randy:: CEO: Randy!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO, CNS and CTO arrive on the Promenade.

CNS_Alana says:
::Arrives on the Promenade::

Host SM_Darlene says:
::The station is dead and deserted.  Upturned vendor carts and broken windows line the Promenade, remnants of a time long ago when the station was brisling with hundreds of vendors, patrons and people from all over the quadrant.  Cobwebs hang from the railings and walls throughout the station.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks into his office and looks at the console, running his hand across it.  Shakes a bit as his finger runs into it::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::As soon as they arrive::  CTO/CNS: all right, we will split up and search these few shops, look for anything that might help us or give us information, shout if you find anything.

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Randy!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A holoimage of the CEO's children is on the floor in a broken frame.

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Stays with CEO, speaks like a ghost:: CEO: Raaaaaaaaaaaaandyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Decides to go into the bar where they had many fond memories::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Breaks off and begins to explore a few shops and carts, looking for anything, checking inside everything compartment and drawer::

CNS_Alana says:
::Begins to float in the direction of a shop::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees if he can tap his shoulder::  CEO: Commander Corjet?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the CSO and XO:: CSO/XO: Guys????? ::Looks surprised:: What are you doing here?  I’m waiting to get to the Land of the Prophets.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Mister Taliza, you will act like a Starfleet Office. Even if you’re Dead, Death is no excuse for poor behavior!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sees all the upturned carts and broken windows, wonders if some sort of disaster or riot occurred here::

CNS_Alana says:
::Sees the holoimage of CEO's children in the pile of rubble::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sorry, Sir. CEO: We floated down here through the bulkheads from Operations looking for you.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shops on the Promenade are deserted.  Broken merchandise laying about the floors, dust and cobwebs all over the place.

CNS_Alana says:
::Bends to try and pick up the holoimage only to find her hand passes through the item::

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Well, your wait will be long. I don't think we're dead yet. Don't know exactly what's happened. But I don’t think the entire senior staff all gets the same afterlife.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Looks at the left over drinks and thinks they must really taste good...too bad he can't drink them.  ::Heads up into the holosuites::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles a bit and is relieved:: XO: All of us?  Together here?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: With all due respect, Sir, I have proof we're dead.  Or at least I am.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Finds nothing in the shops and carts he checks, they are all empty, goes back over to the CNS and CTO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Danforth enters the holosuites.  He finds nothing but an empty hologrid with holes in the walls.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Death is still no excuse, Besides, Randy isn't in the land of the Prophets, and I'm not in Valhalla, so I'm voting no on Death until the Valkeries come and take me away.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS/CTO: Did anyone find anything?

CNS_Alana says:
::Floats over to CO::  CO: Sir, there in the rubble is single holoimage of CEO Randy's children.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Valhalla?  Valkeries?

XO_Kerst says:
CSO/CEO: Okay, let’s look around and see if we can find anything that may tell us what has happened here.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: You know we cannot handle anything, how would we move anything if we needed to take it with us?

CTO_Danforth says:
::Shouts:: CO/CNS: Sir!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sigh:: CNS/CTO: it appears that there was a big rush to get off the station, or some large riot perhaps  ::Pauses::  there is not anything else here, let's go to the docking ring now, maybe the Erie or Seahawk will be there, or another ship, with some answers.

CTO_Danforth says:
CO/CNS: Sir!  Come here, quickly!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks at the CSO and then turns to the XO:: XO: There is the land of the prophets.  Just because you believe in something else, Sir, please don’t disregard my beliefs.  Fine, let’s go.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Goes over::  CTO: Yes, Commander?

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: You have your beliefs I have mine, now let’s search.

CNS_Alana says:
::Hears CTO and turns quickly in his direction::

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Look at this Sir.  Something happened here.  It looks like physical damage.  It's finally a clue.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Besides, I would also go to the Land of the Prophets with Commander. Corjet, since we're both Bajoran.

CNS_Alana says:
::Floats closer to CTO::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Floats off to inspect the area::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The station shifts, more beams come crashing to the decks, sending dust and cobwebs in all directions and a loud creaking can be heard echoing through the station.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks at the holes::  CTO: It appears that they were caused by age and disrepair.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods and pats the CSO on the back as they head off to look around::

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Randy, I wasn't disregarding them. I was stating since you weren't there and I'm not where my afterlife is suppose to be, I don't think were dead. Sorry If I gave the wrong impression.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Does not like the sound and crashing beam::  CNS/CTO: It appears that we do not have much time, now let's get to the docking ring quickly!

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: No, Sir.  Look here. ::Points to obvious physical damage not caused by either age or disrepair:: See these?  This is from something else.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles and nods:: XO: Understood Sir.  So...anyone got any ideas?  ::Looks to the dead consoles:: I mean... all the systems are out.  Seemingly for a long time too.

CTO_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

XO_Kerst says:
::Hears Station creak:: ALL: This place is falling apart.

CNS_Alana says:
::Notices the angle of the station is different as if it was shifting opposite from how they are standing::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Forces himself through the walls and floors again, quickly approaches the docking ring::

CNS_Alana says:
::Hears awful creaking noise::

XO_Kerst says:
CEO/CSO: Look for any notes, or other objects that wouldn't need power to tell us what happened.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO/CEO: My guess is that something happened to us while we were asleep and we died.  The rest of the station's crew survived and evacuated.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO passes through the walls and appears in Airlock 1.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Stops in the airlock, looks through the airlock for the Erie or any ship::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The docking bays are empty.  The dark station is nothing more than a huge piece of space junk floating aimlessly in space.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Quickly follows the CO::

XO_Kerst says:
CEO/CSO: But that doesn't explain why the station is so old, unless a time shift is involved.

CNS_Alana says:
::Following CTO through the floor::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Picks up the hyperspanner and holds it out for the XO and CSO:: XO/CSO: Look, this is duranium.  For it to decay this much... ::Runs his finger along it:: I would think the station has aged...or something for about 400 to 500 years.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I can explain that.  Our spirits didn't wake for several years, which we now find ourselves in a station of disrepair.

CEO_Corjet says:
CSO/XO: Now, as far as how it got that way I don't know.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A loud rumbling is heard throughout the station.  Pieces of the hull are pulling away from the station’s frame.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sees nothing, disappointed::  CNS/CTO: Nothing here, every ship is gone.  ::Thinks for a moment::  Let's check out the Runabout Pads, perhaps something is still there.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Don't buy it.  Why could this not be an elaborate holodeck program? Been trapped in those before.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Shakes his head:: CSO/XO: That doesn't sound good!

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: I don't think we've been dead that long.  My body wasn't that decomposed.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the loud screeching sounds and breaking metal, moves quickly::  CNS/CTO: There has to be some clues somewhere.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, if we are just spirits, ghosts spirits if you wish, as if something happened to us and we are without form in here, might it be possible for us to float outside the station also?

XO_Kerst says:
ALL: At least hull breaches don't affect us any more. I wonder what's causing the stress on the station?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer voice is heard in the senior officer's Quarters "The time is now 0430 hours"  The crew begins to stir awake to begin a new day of shoreleave.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Starts to wake up:: Computer: Where am I?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Wakes up and suddenly remembers.  Then quickly runs to his children's room to check up on them::

XO_Kerst says:
::Bolts upright in bed::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Computer> CSO: You are in Crew Quarters Deck 7, Unit 019 aboard Kootenai Station.

CNS_Alana says:
::Turns slowly and Grabs her pillow, stretching in her bed::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Wakes up to the noise of the computer, sits up and looks around::

CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Scan my vital signs.

CNS_Alana says:
::Sits up immediately and calls out to the computer::

CTO_Danforth says:
Computer: Computer, what is the time?

CNS_Alana says:
Computer: Lights!

CTO_Danforth says:
<Computer>: CTO: The time is now 0430 hours.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Computer> CSO: Your vital signs are normal.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The lights come on in the CNS's Quarters.

XO_Kerst says:
::Turns to look at clock, notices it 0430, notices there's power.  Smiles as he remembers he has a session with CNS Alana today::

CNS_Alana says:
::Holding her breath as the lights come on almost immediately::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Gets up and begins to clean and get ready for the day, thinks about the odd dream he had::

XO_Kerst says:
Computer: Note to self, rearrange shift schedule so I can sleep in later in the morning.

CTO_Danforth says:
::Thinks about the CNS in that slinky outfit and remembers he has a session with her today::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Runs to his children’s cribs one by one to check up on them::

CSO_Taliza says:
Computer: Was there a point where my vital signs showed a death state?

CNS_Alana says:
<Self> Ahhhh!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CEO finds his children sound asleep.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Ops*: Captain Pavielion to Operations, status report?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Computer> CSO: Negative.

XO_Kerst says:
::Gets up slowly and heads for the shower::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands and walks to the sonic shower and steps in::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Scratches head::  *CNS* Taliza to Alana!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts to cry with happiness as he kisses each of his children on their little foreheads, directly upon their Bajoran nose bridges::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Operations> *CO*: Good morning, Sir, station status is normal.

XO_Kerst says:
::Stands in shower trying to wake up.  Remembers something about Alana in a little red outfit::

CTO_Danforth says:
::Thinks he has to talk to the XO about rescheduling these 4:30 shifts::

CNS_Alana says:
::Hears COM badge as she steps out of the shower::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Ops*: Perform a full scan of the station and the surrounding sector, I want the report on my desk!

CSO_Taliza says:
*CNS* Am I scheduled for a session today?

Host SM_Darlene says:
