Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: Last time on ACTD Kootenai Station…

A visitor was turned to stone in his quarters by two aliens who opened a time portal and stole a half-round metal object from the visitor's satchel.

Inside the satchel the crew found two pieces of parchment.  One parchment showed a map of three planets in an unknown sector of space.  The other was a crude drawing of the metal object and some ancient, unknown letters.  The CMO has transported the stone body to Sickbay for analysis while OPS & the CTO try to figure out what those parchments can tell them.  The CEO is analyzing the stable time portal in the visitor's quarters.

Another strange visitor followed by three of his aides came aboard the station demanding to speak with the Station Commander.  CO Pavielion is now escorting the visitor to the Ready Room.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Visitor: Welcome to Kootenai Station.  I am Captain Pavielion, Commander of this station.  I apologize for keeping you waiting however: we are in the middle of something urgent.  Now, if you will follow me to my Ready Room, we can speak in private.

CEO_Spicer says:
::Runs a final scan to make sure the portal is still stable::

XO_Kerst says:
::Looks at the broken cord in the CEOs hand::

CMO_Sovok says:
Self: Okay, this makes absolutely no sense. ::Begins another set of scans on the stone person::

Host The_Visitor says:
::Nods:: CO: Not at all, Captain.  ::Follows the Captain and motions to his aides to follow along behind::

CEO_Spicer says:
XO: I don't know what is on the other side, but it apparently doesn't want us to get any information.

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Frowns to herself and looks at her tricorder:: Self: I don't like this. Not one bit.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Motions the way into the turbolift, once in::  Turbolift: Operations.

Host The_Visitor says:
::Enters the turbolift with his aides and stands next to the CO::  CO: I have an important matter to discuss with you.

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: It appears that way. Anyway we can secure this end of the portal to keep uninvited guests from coming through?

CEO_Spicer says:
XO: I can put up a level 10 force field here. ::Motions with his hands:: We need more info. What about a team to go through the portal?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Grumbles under her breath:: Self: I prrrmoised myself I would neverrr do this. *CEO* Rrrick, can you help me with something in the science lab?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  Visitor: Of course, I can simply guarantee privacy and secrecy in my ready room ::Motions the way through Operations as the turbolift comes to a halt::  Visitors: This way, please.

Host The_Visitor says:
::Nods and follows the CO into Operations::

CEO_Spicer says:
*CTO*: What is it? ::Looks at the XO::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Taps his COM badge:: *XO*: I can't make heads or tails of any of this, Sir. From what I can tell he's still alive but  I have no clue as to how to...fix...this problem.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Inputs his security code into the panel and enters his ready room, motions for Bailey to remain outside::  Visitors: Please, have a seat.  ::Walks over and sits in his chair::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
*CEO* Neverrrmind.

Host The_Visitor says:
::Follows the CO into the Ready Room and motions for his aides to stand outside the door.  Sits down in one of the chairs in front of the desk::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Visitors: Now, how can I help you?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Puts her paw to her face in thought and runs another decryption algorithm through the computer:: *CMO* Sovok, arrre you busy?

Host_Rahteck says:
::Clears his throat:: CO: My name is Vice Governor Rahteck.  I am head of security for my people.  We have journeyed a long way from another galaxy in pursuit of a criminal.

CEO_Spicer says:
::Calculates the proper configuration of the force field:: Computer: Erect a level 10 force field on level 17 section 36 one half meter on either side of the anomaly.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Raises eye brows::  Rahteck: Please continue, Governor.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Our intelligence reports tell us this criminal was tracked to your station.  He is this man.  ::Hands the CO an alien PADD with a picture of the criminal::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Takes the PADD and examines its contents::

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: No teams, not until we know more about what's on on the other side. Erect the force field.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: What are his charges, Governor?

XO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: Understood.  Any ideas on to what caused this?  I don't want to meet whatever did that with out some kind of defense.

CEO_Spicer says:
XO: Forcefields up on either side of the anomaly. If whatever comes out of that portal can go through a level 10 force field, heaven help us.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Some time ago, about 75 of your earth years, this man broke into our sacred shrine and stole one of our most sacred artifacts.  It is this item.  ::Takes the PADD back from the CO then taps a few buttons bringing up the picture of the artifact::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks at the picture::

CMO_Sovok says:
*XO*: From the looks of things it could have been some biological offensive weapon the creatures had or possibly a weapon.  I'm really not sure.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Have you seen this man on your station?  Has there been any kind of unexplained events in the past few days?

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Agreed. We'll someone posed here to keep an eye on it. Meanwhile I want you figure out how to get more information about it.

XO_Kerst says:
*CMO*: Understood, keep on it.  Every little bit of information helps.

CEO_Spicer says:
XO: Aye. ::Begins scanning the anomaly again, calculating a way to get info back to this side.::

CMO_Sovok says:
*XO*: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: As for that man, I cannot say.  I have never seen his picture before.  With your other question, yes, we have recently been experiencing some strange events around the station.  What is this man capable of?  What did he steal that was so valuable?

CMO_Sovok says:
*CTO*: Sorry, I was in the middle of a conversation with the Commander. Anything I can do?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
*CMO* It's alrrright, Doctorrr, I was just wonderrring if you could join me in the Science lab and help me with these documents.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Looks at the CO as if he might have missed something::  CO: I believe I told you what he stole.  It is this!  ::Holds up the alien PADD with the picture on it::  What kind of strange events?

CMO_Sovok says:
*CTO*: I'd love to. I'm up against a wall here anyways. ::Nods to a few medics to continue the scans and walks out of Sickbay:: Be there shortly.

CEO_Spicer says:
XO: I can reinforce the force fields if I erect a gauss field sustainer.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: I was referring to whether or not this object had any special powers or abilities.  As for our event, ::Wonders how much he should tell this man:: a person was possibly murdered, in a way I have never seen before.

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
*CMO* Thank you.

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Sits at his station waiting for a progress report on the parchments reviewing station supplies::

Host_Rahteck says:
::Looks at the CO strangely:: CO: Murdered?  How?

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Why didn't the probe relay any data back to us?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Steps into the Turbolift:: Science lab.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: He turned stiff.  It is almost like he became stone.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Feels the Turbolift stop and steps off, walking towards the lab::

CEO_Spicer says:
XO: I am not sure. The anomaly appears to be controlled on the other side. Perhaps they have some kind of dampening field up.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Stands abruptly:: CO: May I see the body, Captain?

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Routes expected shipment A to Cargo Bay 2 and informs the cargo bay personnel::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Remembers something::  *XO*: Commander, what is the description of that object in the papers you found?

CMO_Sovok says:
<MO>::Continues to scan the body, not really getting anywhere::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Looks up as the CMO walks in:: CMO: Hi, Sovok. ::Smiles:: I trrrust you left Sickbay in good hands.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Looks sharply at the CO:: CO: Papers?  May I see them?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Surprised::  Rahteck: We are unsure whether or not it is safe to be around that body.  I would not want to endanger you or your aides.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks into the middle of the room:: CTO: My ranking MO is taking care of things. The person's not going to be running away anytime soon.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Please, I must see the body so I can be sure!

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Smiles:: CMO: I see. ::Gestures to the table:: Can you make heads orrr tails of this?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: Very well, but I am afraid that I will have to insist on security.  ::Needs to begin getting more information from this person::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks over to the table and looks at the papers...::

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Of course, Captain, I must see the body as soon as possible.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CTO*: Lieutenant, please report to Sickbay with the documents and items discovered in our friend's quarters.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Stands and motions towards the door::  Visitors: This way then.

CMO_Sovok says:
CTO: Well... that was quick.

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
*CTO* Yes Captain. ::Looks to the CMO and grins::

Host_Rahteck says:
::Nods and follows the CO out of the Ready Room.  Motions for his aides to follow them::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CMO*: Lieutenant, I will be coming to Sickbay shortly with a visitor, please be ready with the body.

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Walks over to the sensor station and checks for any anomalous readings in the vicinity::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
CMO: I'll grrrab the paperrs and follow you.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks across Operations and into the turbolift, waits for them to enter::  Turbolift: Sickbay.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Enters the turbolift with his aides::

CMO_Sovok says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir. ::Waits for the CTO and exits the science lab walking towards the Turbolift::

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Watches the CO and the visitors cross operations and enter the Turbolift with curiosity::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Picks up the papers carefully and follows the CMO to the Turbolift::

CMO_Sovok says:
Computer: Sickbay.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Still is not sure about these visitors.  Will allow them to see the body and items, but will then need some hard answers::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks out as the turbolift stops::  Visitors: This way please.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: I know what you must be thinking, Captain but I can assure you all will become clear as soon as I examine the body.  ::Follows the CO out of the turbolift::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: Of course, Governor.  ::Leads them into Sickbay::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Exits the Turbolift and waits for the CMO to follow her to Sickbay::

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Goes back to the security station and activates monitoring of the CO and more specifically the Visitors::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Follows the CTO and enters Sickbay::

Host_Rahteck says:
::Walks into Sickbay and waits to be escorted to the body.  Motions for his aides to hand him his handheld scanner device::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
CMO: You werre rrright, He's not going anywherrre.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks as the visitor enters:: Visitor: Hello, I'm Doctor Sovok. I assume you're with the Captain.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: I am sure my officers will be here shor… ::Pauses as they enter::  CMO/CTO: Ah, please, over here.   Let me introduce my Chief Tactical Officer: Lieutenant Rr'Vellan, and my Chief Medical Officer: Lieutenant Sovok.  This is Governor Rahteck.

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Bows respectfully to Rahteck::

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Watches as the group enters Sickbay::

Host_Rahteck says:
::Nods to the officers::  CMO: Doctor, the body?  ::Is rather anxious to look at the body::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CMO: Now, Lieutenant, where is the body?

CMO_Sovok says:
CO/Visitors: Right over there.  It's kind of hard to keep out of view.

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Finds an empty biobed and lays the papers out to have them ready when the governor asks for them::

CEO_Spicer says:
XO: I am unable to determine what is on the other side of this portal. It looks as if a team is the only way to get any info.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Follows the CMO to the location of the body.  Stops and pulls back the sheet then begins scanning:: All: Yes, there is no doubt.  ::Continues scanning the body::

CMO_Sovok says:
Visitor: Can you make any sense of it? I've been scanning for hours.

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Checks sensors very carefully to any anomalous readings during these events::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks close to the body, stops and watches Rahteck::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: Can you shed any light on the subject for me, Governor?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Looks up at the Captain:: CO: Sirr, I'm sorrry I couldn't do this earrrilierr but I would like to welcome you back to the station. ::Bows::

Host_Rahteck says:
::Stops scanning and hands the device to his aide:: CO: This is the man.  He has been attacked by our enemy's army.  This was done by evil creatures, Captain.  One glance from them and you turn to stone.  Although the body is still "alive" it will never be brought back to normal.  There is no known cure for this.  ::Motions to the body::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant.  ::Grins::  Though I must say, I do not like the welcome-home party you have thrown me ::Looks to Rahteck as he speaks::

CMO_Sovok says:
Visitor: So every one of these creatures can do that?

XO_Kerst says:
::Enters turbolift::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: So this man is not dead?

XO_Kerst says:
Turbolift: Operations.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Nods to the CMO:: CMO: I'm afraid so, Doctor.  ::Frowns::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Smiles at the CO and looks to the petrified man::

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: No, Captain, he is not dead in the sense of the word.  He is alive but forever trapped inside this stone shell.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: Why?  Why did this happen to this man?  Were they looking for something, that object perhaps?

Host_Rahteck says:
CMO: Our best Doctors have tried to remove this outer casing but have not had any success.  The victim never survives.

XO_Kerst says:
::Steps out as the turbolift slows and the doors open into Operations::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Makes a face:: Self: Eeek.

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Looks up from his console to the Turbolift:: XO: Commander.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Yes, they were after the object.

CMO_Sovok says:
Visitor: What about transporters? CO: Captain, what if we could remove the case molecularly.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Status, Lieutenant?

Host_Rahteck says:
CMO: You could try, but I advise against it.  This man was a dangerous criminal.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks to the CMO::  All: Never-the-less, we will try.  Doctor, begin work immediately.

OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: No change, Commander.  Everything appears normal, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: What is so special about this object, special enough to kill for it?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
CO: Captain, I brrought those paperrs you requested.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Good, I think.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods:: CO: I intend to, I don't like to let people die.

XO_Kerst says:
::Steps over and sits down in the big chair::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: Surely it cannot just be because it is sacred.

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Nods:: XO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  CTO: Thank you, Lieutenant.  ::Motions to the biobed::  Rahteck: Here are those documents you wanted to see.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: This object controls time, Captain.  What he and the creatures stole was only half of the object.  The other half is already in the hands of our enemies.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Blinks:: Visitor: An object that manipulates time as a dimension, or time transport?

Host_Rahteck says:
::Moves to the biobed where the parchments lie and examines them::  All: Yes, this is it.  CO: May I take these documents, Captain?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
Self: Not morrre time trrravel.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks to CTO and CMO:: Rahteck: I assume that we have copies, so go ahead.

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Sighs and moves to the Operations console in Operations:: XO: May I ask you Sir, did you discover anything?

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: My government and I request assistance in locating the sacred artifact.  Will you help us?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Nods to the CO::

Host_Rahteck says:
::Motions for the briefcase from his aides and places the parchments inside::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: If they needed the half this man had to control time, how did they get onto my station through that portal?  ::Hears Rahteck, thinks for a minute::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Only that what's on the other side of that portal really  liked our probe, it kept it.

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Nods:: XO: I see.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: By attacking this man aboard my station, they have proven themselves a threat to the Federation, so I will agree to help you: 
However, to what extent, I am not certain.  What is this group after?  Why do they desperately seek this dangerous object?

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Our enemies had the half that controlled time portals into the future, Captain.  With the other half of the sacred artifact they can also go back in time and make any changes that they want.

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Growls as the listens to Rahteck:: CMO: I don't like the sound of this.

OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: What is our next course of action?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Shakes his head:: CTO: Neither do I.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Takes the parchment from his briefcase and shows it to the CO:: CO: This shows a map of the star system we come from.  It is in another galaxy, a very long journey from here.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: Why, to control time, Captain.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: We've erected a level 10 force fields to contain anything that might come through. The CVEO is working on ways to try to get data out of it.  But for now, we wait.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks at the map::

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Tell me, Captain, is the portal still active?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Shakes head, still is not certain why so many people are so fascinated with overwhelming power::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Directs the question to his CTO::  CTO: Lieutenant?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
CO: As far as I know, it is. The CEO is therrre rrrunning scans, Sirrr.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: Unless you have some special means of getting there, I cannot commit this station's vessel and its senior staff to such a long voyage.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, is the portal still open and active?

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Sighs:: XO: Perhaps Sir, we should look at ways to dissipate the portal.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Then there is not much time.  The portal will only stay active for a short while.  I suggest you hurry if you are to retrieve our artifacts.

CEO_Spicer says:
*CO*: Yes, Sir.

CEO_Spicer says:
*CO*: I have it secured with a level 10 force field supplemented with a gauss field sustainer.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: Yes, then it is still active.  Why, Governor, may I ask that you do not retrieve these artifacts?  Why is it that you need our assistance?

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: It may come to that. But for now I want more info on it.

OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Yes, Sir.  If waiting shall prove more informative, I concur.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods to himself:: Self: Good question..

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*XO*: Commander, please prepare to call a senior staff meeting in the Briefing Room.

Host_Rahteck says:
CO: Our resources are limited, Captain.  I have only a small security force.

XO_Kerst says:
::Hears CO:: *CO*: Understood.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Call all senior staff to the briefing.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Rahteck: Very well, I will call a briefing and you can present this information, along with any other that you have withheld to my senior staff, then we will be able to make a decision.  I am wary over sending my crew through a portal in which they might not return.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Nods::

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Nods:: XO: Acknowledged.  ::Hits the console for communications and broadcast messaging:: *CEO/CMO/CTO/ And All Other Senior Staff*: Senior Staff report to the Briefing Room immediately.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks to CTO and CMO::  All: Report to the Briefing Room immediately.  ::Turns and exits Sickbay, leading the way::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Lags behind the group with the CTO:: CTO: What do you think Bao?

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Trots after the CO:: CMO: I don't like it. I don't want to skip arround the galaxy cleaning up everrryone's messes.

CEO_Spicer says:
*OPS*: On my way. Have a security team stand by Level 17, Section 36 and guard the portal.

Host_Rahteck says:
::Follows the CO out of Sickbay and into a turbolift::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Enters the turbolift, waits for everyone to board::

CEO_Spicer says:
::Heads to the Briefing Room::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Turbolift: Operations.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods:: CTO: I agree and the thought of time traveling again...

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Nods:: *CEO*: Acknowledged. ::Locks down his station before exiting Operations and entering the Briefing room taking a seat::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Lieutenant, once in Operations, please lift the station lock down on all vessels.  We now know that our criminals did not travel via starship.

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Nods:: CMO: I don't want to step on something and make all this neverrr happen.

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
CO: Yes, Sirrr.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Exits the turbolift in Operations, motions::  All: This way please.

XO_Kerst says:
::Stands as the CO enters:: CO Captain...

Host_Rahteck says:
::Follows the CO into Operations, again::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Follows the CO::

CEO_Spicer says:
::Enters the Briefing Room after the CO::

CTO_Rr’Vellan says:
::Trots over to the tactical station and lifts the lockdown on the ships, sending a message to all of the ship's captains, then heads to the Briefing Room::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods to the XO::  XO: Is everyone assembled in the Briefing Room, Commander?  ::Enters the Briefing Room with the visitors behind him::

OPS_Sorsion says:
::Stands as the CO enters:: CO: Captain, is there anything you require?

XO_Kerst says:
::Eyes the new guests::

Host_Rahteck says:
::Enters the Briefing Room and motions for the aides to stand against the wall near the door::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Visitors: Please, have a seat if you wish. ::Motions to a few empty chairs::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Mostly, you brought most of them with you, but I think they're all here.

OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Sir?
