U.S.S. Luna  mission

Maiden Voyage  Part Three.
Stardate 10110.14.
Host Chris_N says:
SYNOPSIS:  With the crew of the Luna  trapped in history aboard the RMS Titanic , and unaided by any form of technology, they continue to search for a way off the doomed vessel.

The CNS, having followed two individuals from the engine room, has come up with a cane topped with a white serpent.  The CO and CSO try to determine the vessel's exact location from the bridge when they overhear an officer telling Captain Edward John Smith of tampering in engineering.

With the time moving past dinner and into early evening, a cool chill can be felt on deck.  The dead calm on the ocean is peaceful yet foreboding.

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters their room and looks to see if anyone else is there::

CSO_Kevin says:
Self: Tampering in Engineering?

Host CO_Merced says:
::standing on the deck in the cold north Atlantic air, pondering the choices::

XO_West says:
::Looking from the porthole toward what seems like a small trunk, being partially opened she walks over to it::

Katira says:
::In the boutique, eyeing the dresses::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees the XO::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::with Katira::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Lieutenant?

Host Chris_N says:
<Smith> Bridge Officer: Get Mr Bailey down there ASAP

XO_West says:
::Opens the trunk and sees clothing, which she quickly racks through::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Sir?

CSO_Kevin says:
CO: Captain...something or someone brought us here...perhaps they are the ones tampering with the ships engines...

Katira says:
::Shakes head::  CEO:  Any suggestions?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Standing on the Deck near the CO:: CO: Where should we go now?

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks::CIV: This one would look nice on you.

XO_West says:
::Looking up at CNS as she finds an elegant dress and proceeds to put it on::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees a note from the CO on the desk.  Reads it trying to not watch the XO getting changed::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: The devidians... They warned us not to visit that region of space.  ::sighs::  I think we need to find them.  They seem our best chance of leaving.

CIV_Katira says:
CEO:  Fine.  ::Grabs the dress and heads for a dressing room to put it on.::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I have some information about our situation you might like to know about.

Host Chris_N says:
<BO> ::calls into a communication tube::  Bailey: Master at Arms to 'G' Deck, Main Engine Room.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::can't believe he is giving fashion advice::

CSO_Kevin says:
CO: Agreed...perhaps Engineering would be the best place to start...a low profile would seem in order.

XO_West says:
::Zipping up the dress, looks over as CNS says something...::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if he should go look for the CO instead::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: How will we know who they are? If we have changed appearances they would have too.

CIV_Katira says:
::Slips the dress on, struggling a bit::

XO_West says:
CNS: Yes, you have something new?

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Try to get back to the conn, talk to that man... Smith I think his name was.  Mention you are a doctor and that you overheard something about a rash of illness on the ship.  Offer your services.  Take Lieutenant Dumas with you.  Try to see if you can get some info from them.

CIV_Katira says:
::Reaches for the long zip, then shrugs and goes out to Jokeg::  CEO:  Please...  ::Turns around::

CSO_Kevin says:
CO: Aye, sir.  CTO: You're with me.

CNS_Luchena says:
::shows her the cane::  XO:  Its Devidian.  And I think we spotted some Devidians in the engine room, tampering with an engine.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::zips her dress::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Kevin: Aye. ::Follows behind the CSO::

CSO_Kevin says:
::heads back toward the Titanic bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if the ramifications of what he is saying are going to sink in::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Report to the Counselor's quarters when you have found something.

CSO_Kevin says:
CO: Aye, sir.

CIV_Katira says:
::Adjusts the dress, then turns around::  CEO:  I think I am ready to try again to find the captain.

Host CO_Merced says:
::heads down to the Counselor's quarters::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::nods, telling the tailor to put it on his account::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  It’s interesting to speculate why the Devidians are tampering with the engines.

CSO_Kevin says:
::heads up a flight of stairs toward the conn area::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Why, for example, would they want to prevent the sinking?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Kevin: If I remember Humans history about this ship correctly. This ship will sink within in the next 24 hours. With all hands or almost all hands lost.

CIV_Katira says:
CEO:  An account?

XO_West says:
CNS: then this means that they are on board to...probably do some damage to this ill-fated crew before they die.

CEO_Jokeg says:
CIV: I'll explain later.

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes the XO::  XO:  Right.

CIV_Katira says:
::nods::  CEO:  We have not tried the top deck yet.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  If they slow down the ship, it won't meet its fate.

Host CO_Merced says:
::enters the Counselor's quarters with a brief knock on the door::

XO_West says:
CNS: just don't point that thing at anyone.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Understood.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::nods, walking with her::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees the CO and sighs in relief::

CNS_Luchena says:
::shows the cane to the CO::

Host Chris_N says:
<BO> Smith: Sir, it seems our engines are stuck in the full speed ahead setting.  Engineering can't stop it.

CIV_Katira says:
::Exits on the deck, feeling the cool air raise goosebumps along her arms.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::accepts the cane::  CNS: Would you recognize the disguised devidians if you saw them again?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::enters the conn and approaches Captain Smith:: Smith: Sir, I've heard rumors that an illness is sweeping this ship.  I'm a rather established doctor. Perhaps I can help. ::overhears the BO's warning::

XO_West says:
CO:: This cane was probably supposed to be used on the dying crew after the ship began to sink.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Possibly Sir.  I can't imagine what they are up to.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO/CO:  Why would the Devidians be tampering with the engines?

Host Chris_N says:
<Smith> CSO: Illness?  ::turns to one of his officers::  BO2: Have you been told anything about this?

CIV_Katira says:
::Tries to walk with a swift stride, only to find herself hampered by the dress.::  Hmmm...

XO_West says:
::Looks at CNS ans then to CO::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::laughs a bit::

Host Chris_N says:
<BO2> ::shakes head::  Smith: No one has reported anything about an illness to me sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO/CO:  It looks to me like they are trying to stop the sinking.

CIV_Katira says:
CEO:  The ship... is this a normal speed for an ocean vessel in these types of waters?

XO_West says:
CO/XO: TO possibly make things worse and therefore get more dying peoples neuro energy .

CIV_Katira says:
::Takes a corner of the dress, lifting it, to walk less hampered.::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks out at the ocean::CIV: Actually for her size, titanic was fast.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  That makes no sense at all to me Sir.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Stands just to one side of the bridge and looks down at the compass and checks the heading of the ship::

CIV_Katira says:
CEO:  Yes, but it is faster now then when we first came aboard.  ::Shrugs::  I wish I knew more of the history that everyone seems so familiar with.

XO_West says:
CNS: of course not, but what does make sense of a race killing other races just so they can survive?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO and gives up::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Smith: I also have an engineering background...perhaps I can assist with your engine problems.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::nods::

CIV_Katira says:
::Stops at the door to the bridge::  CEO:  Maybe?

Host Chris_N says:
<Smith> CSO: I thank you for your assistance but we have highly trained engineers working on it now.

Host CO_Merced says:
XO/CNS: None of that is at issue right now.  Our history has it that this ship and the people on it died.  Changing that could remove from us the opportunity to return to our time as we know it.

CEO_Jokeg says:
CIV: Wouldn't hurt to check.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Smith: As you wish.

CIV_Katira says:
::Opens the door and steps in::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  My point is that the Devidians are already interfering.  We must put it back to rights even if it dooms the ship yet again.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::whispers:: CTO: Follow me.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Nods to the CSO::

Host Chris_N says:
<Smith> CSO: Now if you'll excuse me, I have some ship issues to deal with.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Smith: Of course.

XO_West says:
CO: Sir, I am looking at all the perspectives, but couldn't it be possible that since the Devidians found this period in history they want to make it more destructive to fit their needs?  There were a few survivors you know.

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Counselor... Why are you speaking so loudly?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::heads down the stairs and towards the CNS's quarters::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Am I speaking loudly?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Follows the CSO down the Stairs as well::

XO_West says:
::waits patiently as CNS & CO talk::

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: To speak over the engine noise.  We are at full speed.  I don't think the devidians are trying to help the situation.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Random Crewman: Pardon me, but could you direct me to the Engineering center?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Should we tell the Captain Smith about the Icebergs this ship will encounter?

CIV_Katira says:
::Looks at the passing CSO and CTO::  CEO:  I wonder if they know where the captain is.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  If they cause an engine to fail, the disaster might be averted.

CEO_Jokeg says:
CIV: They may...

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 1948 hrs: A group of engineers as well as Mr Bailey stand around a console looking in at the strange technology

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: The Captain has already been made aware of the situation by the CNS.

CIV_Katira says:
CEO:  I feel like I am stuck in a Gindorian maze.  ::Not seeing any other crew around, leaves.::

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: I have heard there were some survivors, but really we are in a double blind.  If we do something to stop the devidians, and they were involved in it from the beginning, then we destroy our future.  If we aid them we run the risk of doing the same.  Our best bet is to simply effect as little as possible and get back if we can.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: When I looked at the Compass the heading of the ship had not changed course.

CEO_Jokeg says:
CEO: The sooner I get back to our time, the better I will be.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Apparently, the engines are at full speed, and the engineering crew cannot halt them.  I suspect Devidian involvement.

CIV_Katira says:
CEO:  My mother once told me, when you are confused or lost, start at the beginning.  ::Heads back down to the counselor’s rooms.::

XO_West says:
CO: I agree, we should look for the portal in which they came from to get back to our own time.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::sneaks down into the guts of the ship, and sees a sign "ENGINEERING"

CNS_Luchena says:
CO/XO:  Does anyone know how this thing works?  ::gestures toward the cane::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Then we must thwart their attempts at all risks.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The two figures that were previously seen in the engine room stand over an unconscious body on the deck

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: That is a possibility.  Either way, our best bet is to find the devidians.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods::

XO_West says:
CNS::Just don't point that thing at anyone, please!

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Understood. ::sneaks into the Engineering room and looks around::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The CSO sees men hovered around a panel talking to one another trying to figure out the device

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Follows in behind the CSO:: CSO: What are we looking for?

Host CO_Merced says:
::looking at the cane:: CNS/XO: From what I remember, the Enterprise crew were able to make this work by applying energy from an adjusted phaser.

CIV_Katira says:
::Walks into the counselors room and sees the captain, XO and CNS.  Mutters::  Finally.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: The Devidians.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees Katira::

XO_West says:
:;Notices CIV and nods toward her::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks at the others::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::approaches the crew around the device:: Crewmen: Indeed, this is a mystery.

Host CO_Merced says:
CIV/XO/CNS: Since we don't have a phaser, we need to find the devidians.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Nods his head as well to agree with the CSO::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods::  CO:  Both Katira and Jokeg saw them as well.

CIV_Katira says:
::Wonders who the devidians are and what phasers have to do with them.::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::breaks off from the group to go look around::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 2004 hrs: The Chief Engineer calls out to the coal shovellers telling them to stop shoveling coal into the furnace

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
Crewmen: May we offer our assistance.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Engineering Crew: May I have a look, gentlemen.  I'm a highly trained engineer adept at the most recent advancements in propulsion systems.

Host CO_Merced says:
CIV: You saw the devidians?

CIV_Katira says:
CNS:  Yes, they were tampering with the engines.  We informed the engineers and they went to check it out.  I do not think they have done anything about it though.

Host Chris_N says:
<Crewman> ::turns at the strange voice::  Bailey:  Look!!  ::points at the CSO::  One of them is back, and he brought yet another with him!

XO_West says:
:;Notices the confused look that CIV has::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::walks out on the deck, seeing the 2 familiar gentlemen standing over a body::

Host Chris_N says:
<Bailey> ::moves toward the men pulling out a set of handcuffs::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Bailey: Gentlemen! You have me all wrong.  We're here to help you solve this conundrum.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::whispers:: CTO: If things get hairy, lets make a run for it.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Takes a defensive posture::

CEO_Jokeg says:
Gentlemen: Is there a problem here??

XO_West says:
::Moves toward CIV and places hand on her shoulder::

Host Chris_N says:
<Bailey> CSO: Help?  How do I know you are not the ones who put this here to begin with?

CIV_Katira says:
::Looks down at the XO::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Bailey: May I be honest with you, sir?

Host CO_Merced says:
CIV: Crewman?

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen> ::looks at the CEO::  CEO: This man seems to be unconscious.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
Bailey: Why would we be offering our help if we put it here?

XO_West says:
CIV: Just try to describe who you saw.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::kneels down, looking him over::

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks again that the CIV makes a cute human especially in that dress::

CIV_Katira says:
CO:  I would not know, all these humans look alike.  But they were dressed very nicely, so I do not believe they belonged there.

Host Chris_N says:
<Bailey> CTO: Perhaps to slow our progress in fixing it?  Perhaps to add more problems to our systems?

CEO_Jokeg says:
::stands up, looking at them::I have seen you before, in the engine room.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Bailey: Chief, let me be forward with you...I'm an undercover agent of the United States Government.  I've received information that certain people may try and hinder the voyage of this wonderful vessel...I assure you that I'm here to help find the perpetrators of this crime/

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Sir, I suggest we move up to the deck.  We don't want to be down here when the collision occurs.

Host Chris_N says:
<Bailey> ::looks a might taken aback::  CSO: Who? And why?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
Bailey: You have a good point there Mr. Bailey. But we did not put this device here.

Host CO_Merced says:
::sighs:: XO: Take Crewman Katira and search the top  decks.  Inform any crew you encounter of our what we are attempting.  The counselor and I will do the same on the lower decks.  I will have the cane.  If you find them bring them back here.  Tell them we have their cane.  They may be more inclined to cooperate.

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen> CEO: Us?  ::shakes head::  You must be mistaken.

CIV_Katira says:
::Wonders where Jokeg went to::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Bailey: A group of people that is intent on redirecting and stealing this ship at whatever cost for the purpose of profit...it is my duty to stop them...tell me, what did they look like, and can I have a look at the device they implanted?

XO_West says:
CO: Aye, sir.::  eyeing CNS as she leaves the cabin::

CEO_Jokeg says:
Gentlemen: No...I remember now, you were standing by a panel in the Engine Room, who are you?

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes the XO right back as she leaves::

XO_West says:
CIV: you're with me.

Host Chris_N says:
<Bailey> ::nodding at the CSO::  CSO: By all means.  ::looking somewhat sheepish as he motions to the device::
CIV_Katira says:
::Nods and takes rear guard::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::takes a look at the device, trying to understand its purpose and how its functioning::

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen>  ::they look at one another before one lifts a small bag in the CEO's direction::

Host CO_Merced says:
::takes the cane from the Counselor, pausing only a moment before leaving the small room after the XO:: CNS: A problem with the First Officer, Counselor?

XO_West says:
::Walking over to the stairs and ascending them by two's::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::steps back::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I have no idea, Sir.  ::follows the CO::

CIV_Katira says:
XO:  Should we find Jokeg?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
Bailey: Have you tried to remove the device yet?

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: A blue beam is emitted from the bag but narrowly misses the CEO when he moved back

CEO_Jokeg says:
::leaps forward, grabbing the bag::

XO_West says:
CVI: yes, I think that would be a good Idea, but whoever we see first, direct back toward the cabin.

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the Counselor sideways:: CNS: That's good.  ::continues to head toward the 'lower decks' which, in a bit of irony, are above the Counselor's room::

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen>  ::notice the bag ripped from their hands they turn and run away

CIV_Katira says:
::Nods::  XO:  I regret that I do not know very many of the crew to be able to recognize who belongs to the Luna, not to mention, there are changes in some of us.

CEO_Jokeg says:
Gentlemen: Stop!!

CNS_Luchena says:
::opens his mind to the thoughts of the humans they pass, knowing he will recognize the Devidians by the absence of thoughts from them::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Bailey: This device is a tunometric amplifier...very cutting edge in propulsion technology.  SO long as it remains locked to your engines, the ship won't be able to slow down.  We must attempt to remove the device, and bring the ship to a halt to regain our bearings and find these criminals.

CIV_Katira says:
::Hears the CEO's yell::  XO:  sir...

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 2013 hrs: The two men continue to run along the long 'C' deck

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes glide over human faces as he is not quite sure what it is he is looking for::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::chases after them, bag in hand::

XO_West says:
CIV: Nods' to CIV, already moving in the direction of the yelling.

CIV_Katira says:
::Heads up the next deck to see the back of the CEO::

Host Chris_N says:
<Bailey>  ::scratches his head at the CSO's explanation::  CSO: A Tuno what?  Can you remove it?

CNS_Luchena says:
::walking beside the CO::  CO:  Sir, where have the CSO and CTO gotten to?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
Bailey:  I can try.  May I have access to your tools?

CIV_Katira says:
::Hiking up her skirts, sprints after him, trying not to leave the XO to far behind::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: Two gentlemen run into the CO on 'D' Deck and fall to the floor

XO_West says:
::Sees CEO jumping backward::  CEO:: what the...

Host CO_Merced says:
::continues scanning the faces of those around him, trying not to be so obvious about looking for someone:: CNS: They are... ::pushed back:: Gentlemen: I am sorry about that.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Sir!  I think that is them!

CEO_Jokeg says:
::runs down the stairs to D deck seeing the CO::CO: Stop them!

CIV_Katira says:
::Takes the steps to the next deck, pausing as she sees everyone.::

Host Chris_N says:
<gentlemen> ::look at the CNS and gets up to run::

Host CO_Merced says:
::looks at the Counselor then the men on the ground reaching out to grab one of them by the coat::

CNS_Luchena says:
::grabs one of the men by both legs and tries to keep him down::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Keep an eye out for the criminals while I try and disconnect this device.  Who knows if and when they'll return.

CIV_Katira says:
::Places out a leg to trip one of the men::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks over the bag::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 2033 hrs:  The CO manages to grab one of them while the other one disappears down a corridor

CIV_Katira says:
::Goes after the fleeing man, still not sure why she is chasing him.::

XO_West says:
::Sees the other man disappear around the corner and is in pursuit::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::begins locating the connection points of the device, and attempts to disconnect them using the engineering tools::

CNS_Luchena says:
::helps the CO hold the man::

Host CO_Merced says:
::looks after the one that got away, then to the one he has in hand:: CIV: Crewman, hold this person.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::continues to check over the bag::

CIV_Katira says:
::Follows close on the man's heels::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 2035 hrs: A huge electrical surge goes through the device as the CSO works on it.  The ship suddenly lurches to 30 knots.  Faster than the vessel was ever meant to go

Host CO_Merced says:
All: Let's try to not make any more fuss than we already have.  Gentleperson: Come quietly with us.  We have your tools.  We need to talk.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
Bailey: What is the current time?

CIV_Katira says:
::Feels the ship shudder as the speed increases::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::feels the ship lurch forward::

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the quickly diminishing back of the crewman, wondering how she manages to run so fast in her dress:: CNS: Do you have him?

CIV_Katira says:
::Calls back::  XO:  I do not believe the ship is meant to go that fast.

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::continues trying to disconnect the device...pessimism growing::

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 1> ::follows the CO regretfully::

XO_West says:
::Feels the ship lurching as she is running::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Yes Sir.  ::keeps the guy in an arm lock::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 2044 hrs: The Civilian catches up with the second man by a mere inches

CNS_Luchena says:
CO/CEO:  Umm... this sounds really stupid but I am sensing consciousnesses coming from that bag.

CIV_Katira says:
::Reaches out and with a leap, tackles the man::

Host CO_Merced says:
::sees a quiet room just off the deck, and ducks into it, gesturing the Counselor, Chief, and GP inside::;;;;

XO_West says:
::Runs up just as CIV reaches out to catch the bum::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 2045 hrs: The second "Gentlemen" collapses to the deck

CIV_Katira says:
::Disentangles herself, mumbling about not wearing long dresses again.::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks at Luchena::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods, wide-eyed at the CEO::

XO_West says:
::Chuckles a bit and grabs the gentlemen from off the floor::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 2058 hrs: After all the energy is dumped into the engines, the devices lights go out and falls from the panel

CIV_Katira says:
::Stands up as the XO approaches, glaring down at the human.::

CIV_Katira says:
::Reaches down and hauls the man up::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks back down in the bag::

CNS_Luchena says:
CEO:  Consciousnesses.. plural...

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Any success yet.

CEO_Jokeg says:
CNS: This is....a soul collector?

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns on the lamp, bringing low light to the room:: Gentleperson: So how soon till you and your companion were planning to leave?

XO_West says:
CIV: you seem to do very well with this dress, but it did not bother me at all, ::Smiling::

CNS_Luchena says:
CEO:  Maybe?

CIV_Katira says:
::Leaving the man in the XO's grip, adjusts her dress::

Host Chris_N says:
<Bailey> ::looks at his watch::  CTO: I have nine o'clock

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO, Bailey: It appears the device is no longer functioning.  Bailey: Can you halt the ship.

CEO_Jokeg says:
CNS: Maybe collects life-force from living.

CIV_Katira says:
::Sighs and nods, taking the man back in hand.::

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 1> ::refuses to say anything::

CNS_Luchena says:
::shudders::  CEO:  Possibly?  ::shrinks away from the bag::

CEO_Jokeg says:
Gentleman: What is this!?

CIV_Katira says:
Gentleman 2:  Human, you are a pain.

XO_West says:
Gentlemen: Let's go, find you friend and see what you both were up to.

CIV_Katira says:
XO:  We should take him back to the captain, then I should go check out the engines if the CEO has not.

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 2> ::looks barely conscious after the tackle from the enormous woman::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
Bailey: I would suggest in closing the doors that control flooding on this ship as to the ship will hit an iceberg soon.

XO_West says:
::Grabbing the gentleman by the arm holding it carefully behind his back::

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 1> ::looking at the bag in the CEO's hand::  CEO: It is how we collect our.... what can best be called food.

CIV_Katira says:
::With the XO, leads the man back.::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::points the bag at the gentleman 1::Or perhaps maybe we should use it on you...

CNS_Luchena says:
::picks up a sense of victory from the XO and moves back out on to the deck looking for her::

Host CO_Merced says:
::carefully doesn't think of what is in the bag::

XO_West says:
::Shaking her head::

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 2> ::comes to slightly after the pain of his arm being twisted behind his back by the XO::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: It appears our usefulness in engineering has run its course.  It's up to the Engineering crew to stop the ship.  Lets head up deck side.

XO_West says:
CIV: this is one of the reasons I wanted you in security, I knew you had it in you.

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 1> ::horror crosses his face at the CEO's threat::

CIV_Katira says:
::Shrugs::  XO:  I was trained to help in many areas.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::walks up to him, almost nose to nose:: Why are you here?? Why have you sabotaged this ship!

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::grabs the fallen device as he exits the Engineering room::

CIV_Katira says:
::Sees the counselor and nods her head, stepping behind the man and XO::

XO_West says:
Gentlemen 2: don't try to run, now we are just going back to the cabin.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees the XO and CIV coming with the other Devidian::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CSO_Brehgorn: Aye. It would be very bad to remain below the water line of this ship within the next few hours. Suggest we find the CO.

CNS_Luchena says:
::leads them into the room where the CO and CEO are::

XO_West says:
::Loosening her grip and CIV takes stronger hold on gentlemen::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Agreed ::begins wandering around the ship, trying to find the CO or another Luna crewmate.

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 1> ::tries to coward back slightly::  CEO: We visit scenes of mass death in history to gather the food which keeps us alive.  ::trying to get away slightly::

Host CO_Merced says:
::pulls the Chief back a bit:: GM1: All we want is a way back to our own time and place.  What has been done, quite literally, has been done.  Cooperate and we all live.  Refuse and you die with us.

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Follows in behind the CSO. Looking for Luna crew members as well::

CNS_Luchena says:
::gestures towards the room::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: 2130 hrs: The Titanic finally drifts to a complete halt

CEO_Jokeg says:
::head snaps over at the Captain, calms down a bit::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::hears the CO's voice in the distance and follows it, finding him and what he assumes is a Devidian::

CIV_Katira says:
::Holding the man, looks at Jokeg::  CEO:  We should go fix the engines.

CNS_Luchena says:
::feels the ship come to a stop and wonders what is going on::

XO_West says:
::Notices the ship movement has stopped::

Host CO_Merced says:
::senses something odd::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Arrives moments later::

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 1> CO: I cannot.  We must gather more energy for our people

XO_West says:
::Looks at CEO::

CIV_Katira says:
CEO:  This is not normal.

CEO_Jokeg says:
::notices the ship comes to a halt::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::stands behind the CO and watches his interchange with the Devidian::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Sees the CO:: CO: The CSO has disabled the device in the engine room.

XO_West says:
CEO: were you able to see what had been done to the ships engines?

CIV_Katira says:
::Looks at the CTO and CSO::

Host CO_Merced says:
CEO: Do you feel that?  It doesn't feel like the engine is working any longer.

CIV_Katira says:
CSO:  This is why the ship has stopped?

CEO_Jokeg says:
XO: No sir...

CNS_Luchena says:
::realizes that the timeline may have been changed and has extremely mixed feelings about it::

CEO_Jokeg says:
CO: The ship has come to a stop...

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: What time was the ship supposed to have hit the iceberg?

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: An announcement comes over the loudspeaker from Smith "We are happy to announce that a problem concerning our engines has been fixed by our team of engineers.  We will soon be underway once again.  Thank you for your patience"

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CIV: Actually, this device ::points to the device:: ran out of energy, and I assume the ship's engineering crew has halted the engines.

CIV_Katira says:
CSO:  Sounds like they have fixed it.

Host CO_Merced says:
GM1: You are in no position to negotiate.  We have you tools, and will not return them until you choose to cooperate.

XO_West says:
::hears ship wide announcement and goes to the cabin door to get the entire message::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
::nods to the CIV:: CIV: Now how are we gonna get back to our own time?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
::Hears the Loudspeakers announcement:: CO: This ship will hit the iceberg somewhere around Midnight.

CIV_Katira says:
CSO:  I have never studied time traveling.  But, I would help this ship and crew.

CNS_Luchena says:
::trying to remember::

CEO_Jokeg says:
::looks at the bag again::

Host CO_Merced says:
CIV: Can you go find out what time it is now?

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 1> ::looks to his partner then back at the CO trying to make a decision::

XO_West says:
:;Turns toward CEO, notices him looking at a bag on the floor::

CIV_Katira says:
::Hands the man she is holding to the CTO and with a nod, goes to find the time.::

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CIV: I disagree with your intention, but it is ultimately the Captain's decision.

CIV_Katira says:
::Looks at the CSO and shakes her head as she leaves the room.::

XO_West says:
CEO: what is it with that bag you keep looking at?

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Any indication on how long till we are underway again?

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 2> ::steps toward the CO::  CO: I will do it, as long as you promise to let us go afterwards.

CIV_Katira says:
::Looks down the hall for anyone who could tell her the time.::

CEO_Jokeg says:
XO: It has...peoples’ life-forces in it...

CNS_Luchena says:
::finally remembers::  CO:  11:30

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: The ships engines were not harmed, once Captain Smith decides to resume course, he has the power to do so.

CIV_Katira says:
::Passing a room, hears the sound of children laughing and considers the CSO's words::

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The civilian sees a passenger down the hall

XO_West says:
CEO: then this situation needs to be corrected, how will we find out who they belong to? did you see them when they were taken?

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the GM:: GM2: What time were you planning on leaving?

CEO_Jokeg says:
XO: I have no idea how to work this....thing

CIV_Katira says:
::Seeing someone, her mind trying to work through the time line, pauses before him.::

CIV_Katira says:
Passenger:  Do you have the time?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  And the ship went down at about 2:20

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 2> CO: In what this time would call 11pm

XO_West says:
CO: I suggest to find out how to restore these life forces to their rightful owners.  ::Points to bag on the floor::

Host Chris_N says:
<Passenger> ::looks up at the large civilian before him::

Host CO_Merced says:
CNS: Thank you Counselor.

CNS_Luchena says:
::trying to make sense out of all this::

CIV_Katira says:
::Ignores the look, getting used to it.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the bag, the XO, then the GMs:: GM2: Is there a means to restore these?  ::indicating the bag::

Host Chris_N says:
<Passenger> CIV: Can I help you ah...  ::looking her up and down::  Madam?

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: I would suggest we move to the upper decks soon and be prepared to depart the ship.

CIV_Katira says:
::Tempted to adjust her dress again::  Passenger: The time please.

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 2>  CO: I am afraid once the neural energy has been released, there is no known way to return it

XO_West says:
::Eyeing both Gentlemen::

CNS_Luchena says:
::hardly thinks it matters::

Host Chris_N says:
<Passenger> ::pulls out a pocket watch::  CIV: Ten minutes after ten madam.

XO_West says:
:;sighing in disbelief::

CIV_Katira says:
Passenger:  Thank you.

CIV_Katira says:
::Turns and heads back for the counselor’s room, pausing at the door where she heard children.  Knocks.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::nods to himself:: XO: I don't believe he is telling the truth, but since we don't have time to work a solution, and these people have a great chance of being among the dead anyway, I think we should direct our energy elsewhere.

Host Chris_N says:
<Passenger>  ::nods and continues to walk down the corridor::

XO_West says:
CO: These life forces could have possible been from people who really mattered in this time and they could be passengers who survived to tell of it.

CIV_Katira says:
::As the door opens, sees a young lady with two children behind her.::  Lady:  I hear it is a good night for viewing the stars.  Perhaps you and the children would like to take advantage of it.

XO_West says:
::Nods at CO's reply:: CO: Agreed.

CIV_Katira says:
::With a nod, turns to leave.::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
XO_West: I agree. But since we have no access to our computer on the Luna we cannot determine it.

Host Chris_N says:
<Lady> ::smiles::  CIV: Yes.  I hear it is a beautifully clear night.

Host CO_Merced says:
::looks around:: XO: Where is Crewman Katira?

CIV_Katira says:
::Nods at the woman and stepping through the cabin door::  CO:  It is 10:10.

XO_West says:
::has sinking feeling, and compassion of a CNS:

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Katira admiringly as she enters::

CTO-Tal`ma-Duvas says:
CO_Merced: She walked out into the hallway a moment ago. Shall I retrieve her?

XO_West says:
CO: I believe she went to check on the time again.

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the crewman:: CIV: Thank you.

CIV_Katira says:
::nods::

Host Chris_N says:
<Lady>  ::smiling, she takes the children's hands and proceeds to 'C'  Deck::

Host CO_Merced says:
::ponders things for a bit:: CEO: Does it feel like we have gotten underway again?

CEO_Jokeg says:
::shakes his head no::

XO_West says:
::Looks at the cane in CO Merced's hand::

CEO_Jokeg says:
CO: Not that I can tell at least.

Host CO_Merced says:
GM2: What did you do to the engines?

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: You said there was nothing wrong with the engines?

XO_West says:
CO: Sir, should we now concentrate on a way to open a portal? will these gentlemen tell us how to do it?

CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: No, sir.  The Devidian device ran its course without harming the ships engines.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  We need to be sure this ship will meet its fate.

Host Chris_N says:
<Gentlemen 2> CO: We added a device to make them move at their full capacity to make sure the accident in your history does pass.  Unfortunately I can only assume something has gone wrong considering we are stopped

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: Returning to our time will be useless if out time is not there to meet us.

XO_West says:
::Still thinking about those lost life forces, knowing that all must die anyway::

CIV_Katira says:
::Listens quietly to the others, wondering about the woman and two children, if maybe...::

CNS_Luchena says:
::hopes they are not in the ironic position of getting the ship going again so that it can sink::

XO_West says:
::Looks at CO: CO: sir, when they sabotaged the engines the crew fixed them...

XO_West says:
CO: now we have to undo what the crew did to fix them.

Host CO_Merced says:
XO: Hold these men here.  The Counselor and I will go to speak with the Captain.  We have to get this ship moving again.

CIV_Katira says:
::Considers briefly stopping the captain::
