<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission-Week Three>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Following behind the "werewolf" wondering what’s so special about deck One that their leader set up shop there::

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Trying to get a reading on the rat through the hole in the bulkhead with his tricorder::

XO_Marek says:
::Walks next to the Captain, following this creature::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walking next to CO following the were wolf to meet his leader::

CEO_Masters says:
::Follows the lycanthropes to wherever they lead the group::

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Jabs his big nose into the hole, trying to sniff out the rat::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Shadow-Werewolf> ::Leads the group to a turbolift:: Crew: Take this to Level One.

CNS_Alana says:
CO:  We must remember, we are the visitors here, this is their home and they want to know why we are here more than tell us how to get home, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: The Chief and I were trying to determine the source of the power here on the station. It isn't the antimatter reactor or the emergency batteries.

Host CO_Kerst says:
Shadow-Werewolf: Are the station levels still numbered the same?  Our deck one was just deuterium fuel storage tanks.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Shadow-Werewolf> ::Tilts his head:: Level One is up. ::Points:: The top.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Stands and jogs towards the rest of the crew trying to catch up::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Shadow-Werewolf: Ah the top very top of the docking section, Space Dock Engineering.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Follows everyone else... staying quiet, not sure what he'd say if he wanted to anyways::

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: we'll see if we can get the grand tour later, or maybe they'll let us explore more on our own.

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CEO_Masters says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Shadow-Werewolf> Level One is wherrre Temujin rrruns everrrything. ::Swishes his tail::

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Follows from behind the group, still trying to figure out where or what that creature was::

XO_Marek says:
::Whispers:: CO: Although they are our only chance to understand what is going on here, I don't trust this creatures, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: Do you get any kind of read from our hosts?

Host CO_Kerst says:
ALL: Okay, everyone into the turbolift!

CEO_Masters says:
::Enters turbolift::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Shadow-Werewolf: Are you coming with us?

CNS_Alana says:
Sir, They seem honest enough, at least to the point of taking us to their leader for further information...

XO_Marek says:
::Enters himself in the narrow turbolift::

CNS_Alana says:
::Enters the turbolift with the rest of the crew::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Enters the turbolift::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Follows... realizing for the first time how small these things are::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Shadow-Werewolf> ::Shakes his head:: CO: I am not allowed.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, the creature thinks I am a cutie for sure!

Host CO_Kerst says:
Shadow-Werewolf: How unfortunate.  Thank you for all of your help. Perhaps we will meet again.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Shadow-Werewolf> ::Bows::

CNS_Alana says:
::Blushes a bit::

XO_Marek says:
::Tries to squeeze in, without stepping on anyone's foot::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Turbolift: Level One

CEO_Masters says:
::Lets out a growl:: XO: Watch out, Sir.

XO_Marek says:
CEO: Sorry, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: Understandable, but if he has any other ideas, he'll have to talk to me first.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
ACTION: The turbolift moves quickly to Level One.

OPS_Spicer says:
CNS/CO: Besides, wouldn't the Doctor have to OK any relationship between the crew and other species? ::Grins::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: I will let you know if anything like that comes up!  But it seems we just need to not be so suspicious, after all this is their home.

XO_Marek says:
CEO: Any guess on what is powering the station?

CNS_Alana says:
::Grins a CMO, trying to make light of the situation::

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Stands scrunched up in the turbolift::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Catches the CNS's grin and grins back, appreciating her attempt to lighten the mood::

Host CO_Kerst says:
ALL: Now everybody we're guests here, lets act like Starfleet Officers, not marauding Barbarians.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods at the CO::

CEO_Masters says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Agreed!

Host ASM_Kytra says:
ACTION: Level One is decorated like a plush suite. There are consoles on the walls monitoring the station. In what would be to the CO's chair there sits a tan colored werewolf, wearing a green tunic. There is a crown of darker brown feathers around his head.

CEO_Masters says:
::Looks around at what should be Ops::

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Looks around level one and wonders who did the decorating::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Temujin: Temujin

XO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow when he sees the fancy decorations::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Stands, waiting for whatever was to come...::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Temujin> ::Perks his ears and stands up:: All: Oh I see my guests have arrrrived. ::Toothy smile::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Looks around Ops shaking his head at the makeover::

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks around at the decorations, wondering what is this...::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Temujin: Yes, Shadow sent us to see you.  We appear to be lost in time so to say.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Looks at the control consoles::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Casually walks around Ops looking around as he does::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Approaches Temujin cautiously::

CNS_Alana says:
::Smiles as they walk toward where Temujin is::

XO_Marek says:
::Feels compelled to touch the soft material that covers the walls::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Temujin> CO: Ah, I see.  In time you say? I can't say I've everrr hearrrd of anything like that.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Sees something then looks down at the floor and picks up two pieces of thin metal:: CO: Captain, what is it they call this station?

CEO_Masters says:
::Enters operations and looks around::

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Moves towards the Captain stopping just behind him.  Sniffs the odor of the creature::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Temujin: well from our point of view a few minutes ago we were over a thousand years in your past. We're not sure how we got here, but we'd like to try to get back.

XO_Marek says:
TO: Easy, Bailey. We don't wan to offend our host.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Temujin> ::Sees Bailey:: TO: I thank you forrr yourrr help. I was unawarrre we werrre on such good terrms with the Urrrsid Alliance.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Turns his big head and nods to the XO::

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: Otena.

CEO_Masters says:
OPS: What do you have there?

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Returns his attention to the creature when he speaks...growls low and shows his teeth::

CNS_Alana says:
::Whispers:: CO: Sir, tell him who you...we are before you start to question him.  I think it only kind.  Remember we are in his house.

Host CO_Kerst says:
TO: Stand down, Lieutenant.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Rubs the metal on his shirt then places it into position on the wall plaque:: ALL: This is the station plaque. It is broken. Here are the missing pieces.  See?

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Glances at the Captain then reluctantly backs away::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Temujin> ::Walks over to his chair and touches a panel:: CO: I will have one of my experrrts assist us in this matterrr, if you arrre indeed frrrom the past.

CEO_Masters says:
::Takes the station plaque:: CEO: Hmm... O-T-E-N-A.

XO_Marek says:
OPS: The material looks really deteriorated.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Looks at the pieces of the broken station plaque and becomes increasingly angry::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Temujin: Forgive me, I have failed to introduce myself.  I am Captain P'Dar Kerst of the Federation Starbase Kootenai Station. These are members of my crew.

OPS_Spicer says:
ALL: Otena because two pieces were broken off, K and O on one piece and I on the other.

CNS_Alana says:
::Holding her breath while diplomacy is met::

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Whispers:: OPS: It is Kootenai Station's plaque?

CEO_Masters says:
OPS: That's what I figured when I saw those letters.

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Yes. I don't know how long it’s been like this. TO: Yes it is. ::Sighs::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
ACTION: A door opens and a very strange looking creature walks out. It has the head of a goat, the front legs and wings of an eagle and the body, legs and tail of a lion. The creature walks up to Temujin and bows.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Looks at the strange creature and growls::

OPS_Spicer says:
Self: Holy sh--!!  What the hell is that?

CEO_Masters says:
::Looks toward the new creature that entered:: Self: A sphinx?

XO_Marek says:
OPS: At least we can concluded that the plaque material is really good to last at least a thousand of year ::Raises a n eyebrow at his own irony::

CNS_Alana says:
::Relaxes and watches the new creature that appears in the room::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Temujin> ::Gestures:: CO: My historrrical expert, the Criosphinx.

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: Nice to meet you. I am Captain Kerst.

CEO_Masters says:
OPS: Sir, I have to wonder what happened to this station in the last thousand years.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> CO: You a-a-a-re from the pa-a-ast?

CNS_Alana says:
::Tries reading  Criosphinx::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Looks away from the creature to the CEO:: CEO: I'd like to know too, Chief.

XO_Marek says:
::Thinks: Odd creature...::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: Yes, going by what Shadow told us. About a thousand years ago I was Captain of this very station. From our perspective, that was only a few minutes ago. Tell me, do the computer banks still have data from that long ago?

CNS_Alana says:
::Nods as CO speaks with Criosphinx::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> CO: Ma-a-abe. I ha-a-ave not tried looking a-a-at a-a-anything from tha-a-at long a-a-ago.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Whispers:: OPS: I wonder if they have replicators in the future?  I'm getting hungry.  ::Frowns::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx/Temjiun, would it be OK to have some of my crew try to access the historical data from the computers?

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Temujin> Criosphinx: If you could prrrove it, we couldn't get them home anyways. I think they are stuck here. ::Grins::

CNS_Alana says:
::Steps back toward XO:  XO: I sense that Temujin is hiding something and Criosphinx really wants to know "why" we are here.  

OPS_Spicer says:
TO: Probably, but I'm not sure that they are powered up. Looks like we are at the mercy of our hosts.

CEO_Masters says:
OPS/TO: I'm not sure, without knowing what the power source is.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Nods to OPS and tries to silence his growling, empty stomach::

XO_Marek says:
CNS: I am sure about that, and how about an historian that is not interested in the past?

CNS_Alana says:
XO: I don't think they are not familiar with time travel, they know very well what it is and they know very well how to use the computers, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
Tem/Criosphinx: If the records hold data that far back, it could prove our story, it might also give us clues to how we got here and how to get back.

XO_Marek says:
::Whispers:: CNS: I hope Captain Kerst is able to convince them to allow us access to their data bank.  Even a restricted access, would be fine.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Temujin> Criosphinx: Take them down to the record room and let them look around. If you cannot find anything... ::Gestures with his paw:: you know what to do.

CEO_Masters says:
CO: Captain, permission to address our host?

CNS_Alana says:
CO: The buddy system suggested, Sir!

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Holds up a finger to hold  the CEO:: Temujin: Thank you.

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: Please lead us to the records room.

XO_Marek says:
CO: We better be ready for being double-crossed, Sir.

XO_Marek says:
CO: I still don't trust them at all.

CEO_Masters says:
XO: I'm ready for that possibility, Sir, especially without knowing if we can access our logs from 24th century.

Host CO_Kerst says:
ALL: We're leaving here now and heading for the records room. Lets all be on our BEST ::Wink, nod:: behavior.

XO_Marek says:
::Nods to the CEO::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> ::Nods to the CO and gestures to the turbolift:: CO: After you.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Nods to the CO but doesn't like this situation at all::

XO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: I see, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Heads back to the turbo lift, wondering what deck the Records Room is on and if Operations is at the top of the station, what happened to decks one through seven::

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Waits for everyone to enter the turbolift then follows last::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> ::Waits for the crew to enter the turbolift and pulls a ring of keys from his belt. Selects one and inserts in into a slot on the turbolift wall::

XO_Marek says:
::Squeezes once again inside the narrow turbolift:: ALL: Sorry in advance, if I step on anyone’s foot.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Watches the Criosphinx’s actions intently::

CEO_Masters says:
::Pulls his feet back::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
ACTION: The turbolift travels in silence for a while then stops and the doors open up, revealing a very clean hallway.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Steps out into the hallway::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: After you.

XO_Marek says:
Criosphinx: Moments ago you spoke about an Alliance, I was curious, is this station part of some alliance nowadays?

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> ::Walks out into the hallway.:: XO: Well, there a-a-are severa-a-al different fa-a-actors tha-a-at wa-a-ant control of the ga-a-ala-a-axy.

XO_Marek says:
Criosphinx: Well, that is not very different from our time, I would say.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Discreetly motions towards the slot to the CEO, hoping he'll give it a quick scan::

CEO_Masters says:
::Scans the slot indicated::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Follows the Criosphinx, wondering what deck they're on::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> ::Walks silently down the hallway. Stops at a door and inserts another key:: CO: Records room.  ::Enters and begins looking over the various consoles:: CO: You a-a-are from wha-a-at time?

CEO_Masters says:
::Finishes the scan and walks up to the CO and whispers:: CO: It's just a key-driven system here.

CNS_Alana says:
::Following the CO::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: The 24th Century. Could we help with the search? Some of my crew are quite good with computers.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CEO: ::Nods:: See if the computers have changed much in a thousand years.

XO_Marek says:
CO: I will assist the CEO if you allow me, Sir

CEO_Masters says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> CO: Should be those consoles over there. ::Points:: They a-a-are more then welcome to sea-a-arch.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Stands to one side and allows the others to access the record computers.  Puts his paw over his stomach to silence it::

Host CO_Kerst says:
XO/OPS/CEO: Get on those consoles and see what you can find out.

CNS_Alana says:
::Wonders if the computers are user friendly::

CEO_Masters says:
::Goes to a console and accesses the computers::

XO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Whispers:: XO: And not just our personal files either, I want to what happened and the status of this station.

XO_Marek says:
::Moves to the nearest console and begins working on it::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Actually, it seems that Criosphinx is really interested in helping us.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: Yes, what's your read of him?

XO_Marek says:
::Whispers:: CO: Right, Sir, and it would not be bad if we can get some information on our hosts, would it?

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> CO: If you don't mind me a-a-asking, Ca-a-apta-a-ain, do you know wha-a-at brought you here?

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: your take on our hosts?

CNS_Alana says:
CO:  Sincere, curious like our CMO.

CMO_Sovok says:
CO: It's all...very strange, Sir.

CEO_Masters says:
::Requests visual log records from the cargo bays from Stardate 10403.24::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Goes to a console and begins investigating the power system. Trying to discover what is powering the station::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: No, but from what we've pieced together it might have been a device of some kind that had been placed in our cargo bay. The records may show what happened after we left.

XO_Marek says:
::Tries to access the political and military history files from the last one thousand years::

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> CO: A device?

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: Nothing normally installed in the cargo bay would have been able to do this. And we had reports of a large egg-like device in the cargo bay that wasn't listed on any manifest.  We were in the cargo bay to investigate it when we were suddenly here.

XO_Marek says:
::Thinks: The computer interface looks really different from the 24th century::

CEO_Masters says:
Self: Shoot!  CO: I've got a negative on the visual logs.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> CO: You beings ha-a-ave devices like tha-a-at? Wa-a-as it a wea-a-apon of some kind?

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> ::Perks ears:: CO: An egg device you say?

OPS_Spicer says:
::Keeps hitting dead ends trying to find the power source of the station::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: Well, that is what it looked like. We didn't get very far in our investigation when we found ourselves here.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> CO: Wa-a-as it about so big? ::Gestures:: Possibly a da-a-ark purplish color?

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: No we don't have devises that could do this. That's why we're hoping the records could shed some light on what happened after we left.

Host TO_Bailey says:
::Frowns and hopes this situation isn't some kind of bad dream he's having::

XO_Marek says:
::Finally guesses how these consoles work and begins retrieving information on the last historical events that led to the end of the Federation... and he certainly does not like them::

XO_Marek says:
::Goes through the files::

Host CO_Kerst says:
Criosphinx: I believe so.  Why, do you know what it was…is?

CEO_Masters says:
::Looks back to the CO:: CO: Sir, I think that was the description of the ova in question.

XO_Marek says:
CO: I think I have something here. ::Points at his console::

Host CO_Kerst says:
XO: Yes?

CEO_Masters says:
::Looks over to the XO's console::

XO_Marek says:
CO: I managed to access all the information on the events that caused the end of our Federation, Sir.

Host ASM_Kytra says:
<Criosphinx> ::Twitches tail nervously and flexes wings.  Whispers:: CO: The time egg!
