EPISODE 64 – “The Darkness”  Part 2

SUMMARY:  The Luna is now at a standstill with the Darkness.  It waits as the crew decides what their next step is.  In the meantime, Ens Phelps has been seeing ghost.  Playing with energy reading the crew discovered that there are truly ghosts on the ship.   Unbeknownst to the crew, the Yara is enroute with two more crew members, Ens Hanover and Ens Rowe are aboard to meet up with the crew.

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::standing at the engineering station waiting for the CTO's information::

XO_Savar says:
::On the Bridge:: CO: Captain, I think we need to obtain more information on the makeup and interior of this phenomenon.

CNS_Phelps says:
::standing in front of her Chair trying to make David Copperfield stand up::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::standing on the bridge of the Yara activating the communications link:: COM: USS Luna: This is Ensign Hanover on the Yara calling. Please come in.

CMO_Cameron says:
::stood on the bridge, a little stunned::

CSO_Singh says:
::Working with Silver on the deflector dish::

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: 1 hour out from Luna I believe

CTO_Jarot says:
::on the bridge at tac 1 he observes the information that is popping up on his console::  Self: Great...now, what do we need of this mess ?

CNS_Phelps says:
::pushes her subordinate toward the turbolift:: Copperfield: Bu-bye, David.  Send Susan Becker up here, will you?  She has a high psi factor or something.

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: That we are. It won't be much longer and we can join our ship.

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Pokes Trent and they continue to ship and hop to sickbay::

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  I think that does it...

CSO_Singh says:
::Nods::

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::turns pulls up ships over view::

CMO_Cameron says:
All: Er, did anyone else see that?

CNS_Phelps says:
<Copperfield> CNS: You're just jealous because I saw a Nausican and you had to settle for a Ferengi.  ::sulkily gets into the turbolift and goes to the Counseling Suite::

Host Capt_Trent says:
#Capt Townsend:  Hey!  That hurts!  ::Waves to the nice Orion woman dancing in the corner.::

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Sir, we have sent out all current data on the creature and the deflector dish is ready to create the null void of power... if you want.

XO_Savar says:
::Nods to the CSO:: CSO: We need to try that to make ourselves undetectable.  Activate.

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi Ghost: So, Mr. Ferengi, what happened to you?

CTO_Jarot says:
Self: All Right, here we go.. ::pushes a few buttons and creates a small roster to filter the important information from the useless standard readouts and turns to the CEO::  CEO: One minute, Sir... I'm filtering the information now... ::glances at the viewscreen::

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: Okay time to get worried they haven't responded and I know we are close enough.

XO_Savar says:
CTO: Tactical, are you taking scans of the darkness?

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: I agree Commander, see if we can use this frequency that allows these ghosts to escape to get a look inside.

Capt_Townsend says:
#Trent: oops sorry....what are you looking at?

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: USS Luna: This is Ensign Hanover calling from the Yara come in please.

CSO_Singh says:
::Crossing her fingers, inputs the commands and holds her breath::

Host Capt_Trent says:
#Townsend:  Don't you see her?  ::Giggles and dances with here::

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO:I am sensing something maybe they are in trouble?

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::taps commands pulling up deflector schematic::

CTO_Jarot says:
::quickly looks up at the XO and nods in acknowledgement::  XO: Of course, Commander.. continuous scans are in progress...

CNS_Phelps says:
::taps her foot impatiently, waiting for the Ferengi to answer her question::

Host Capt_Trent says:
ACTION:  Various members of the Yara crew become edgy.

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: It wouldn't surprise me. Can you check the long range scanners and see what you can pick up?

XO_Savar says:
CTO: Any indication of its makeup?

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::turns to the front of the bridge spots the CNS shakes head and turns around::

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: Aye

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Giggles like a school girl:: Trent: no...you must be seeing things again ::Watches him dance around::

CSO_Singh says:
::Blinks at a comm signal::  XO:  Sir, we have an incoming message...

Host Capt_Trent says:
#::Smile on his face.::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::watches as Serak and several of the others seem to be getting edgy::

XO_Savar says:
CSO: On audio.

CSO_Singh says:
::nods and puts it on::

TO_Rowe says:
::walks over to the Science console checking the Long Range Sensors::

TO_Rowe says:
<@>

CMO_Cameron says:
::still a little spooked::  All: Well, er, it looks like the Counselor's not nuts, after all.  I'll be in sickbay.  ::turns and exits, quickly::

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi Ghost: Look, you lascivious little pervert you, you came all this way to TELL me something, right?  Well, tell me what happened to you.  C'mon, I'm not getting any younger.

CTO_Jarot says:
XO: Negative...I have to run the information we got first through several databanks to get a sensible answer...

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: USS Luna: This is Ensign Hanover on the Yara come in please. ::feeling desperate for someone to answer::

SO_Silver says:
::Grins::  CSO: Ma'am, it worked...

XO_Savar says:
@COM: Yara: Ensign, this is Commander Savar of the Luna, go ahead.

CTO_Jarot says:
::looks at the progress window at on his console::  XO: Which will take another few minutes, Sir...

CSO_Singh says:
::Blinks. Ana?  Here?  Was that good or bad...::

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> CNS:  Well you see we got eaten... this black thing jumped out at us and absorbed us.  Inside it kept taking our power little by little as my crew went insane.  Finally they are dead.

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::turns back to console redirects power around the ship::

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Finally. ::said with relief:: Commander Savar this is Ensign Hanover your new FCO returning to duty. I also have the TO Ensign Rowe with me sir.

XO_Savar says:
<remove @ from my last line>

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Rubs his head:: Trent: we are suppose to be doing something, can we dance later ::Smiles:: I’ll introduce you to a few of my dancing friends ::Winks::

Host CO_Harm says:
::Sits in his chair trying to make sense of this whole mess::

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: Huh.  So why are you being so altruistic and trying to save us now?  Is it kinda crowded in there or what?  And how did you manage to get your message out to me?

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: Well other than the Luna, some sort of Black Hole not much else...

Host Capt_Trent says:
#Townsend:  Oooooo ok...  We need to contact someone... right ?

CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Now, let’s see what energy it is attracted to.

CEO_O`Guinn says:
<Seng> ::starts getting edgy:: Self: What is going on up there?

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: Black Hole? Let's make sure we don't get too close to that then.

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: Agreed

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  What about trying different probes set for different types of energy.  We already know it likes the one we sent out.

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: We'll try to rendezvous with you soon.  The Yara sounds like a Vulcan ship... is she a science class vessel?

CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Hmmm... that would take a lot of probes.  What about something modified for the same thing?

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  I will get right on it.

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Aye sir she is with a few uhmmm shall we just say modifications.

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::steps up next to the CTO:: CTO: What information have you been able to get on your scans Mr. Jarot?

Host CO_Harm says:
CSO: Are we getting anything on our scans using this ahh shall we call it the Ghost Frequency?

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> CNS:  I'm a ghost I can go anywhere you want.  You won't leave so it’s up to the Ferengis AGAIN to save the mighty federation.

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: I see.  We are currently investigating an odd phenomena, perhaps the Yara's resources would be helpful.  If they are willing, would you ask them to assist us?

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: I am definatly sensing something, can you ask the Luna if all is well over there?

Capt_Townsend says:
#Trent: yes...and something’s in sickbay we have to get ...in all your dancing, have you thought of any ideas to message them...?

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: And, uh, this grandstanding, it's profitable???

CTO_Jarot says:
::shakes his head at the current readouts given by the computer and looks at the XO::  XO: Readouts have been vague and not usable at the moment.. I will need to make several modifications before I can try again ::sighs:: XO/CEO: I'm sorry, Sir...

CNS_Phelps says:
<Becker> CNS: Of course it's profitable.  Being a hero comes with a big salary, you know, sir.

XO_Savar says:
CTO: Can you narrow the parameters at all?  Are we looking at an energy being, or one made of matter?

FCO_Hanover says:
@::looks at Serak and sees him nod in acceptance:: COM: Luna: Aye sir Serak says that is acceptable. We should be there within the hour sir. Is there anything you can give us on this the TO says he sees a black hole near you.

CNS_Phelps says:
Becker: Iwk!!!  Where'd YOU come from?!

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> CNS:  Yes it will get me to the continium in the sky were profit is plentiful.  You see I can't go until this creature is destroyed.

CNS_Phelps says:
<Becker> CNS: David "I'm not a magician" Copperfield sent me.

CEO_O`Guinn says:
CTO: Reverse the frequency of your scans. I will give you more power. With a bit of luck it could work.

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  Science is working on it.  We should have about15 varieties ready in about 10 minutes.  I wouldn't use them for anything else, but they will do for what we need.

Host Capt_Trent says:
#::Starts making his way back to the operations centre.::

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: Ohhhhhh.  Well, what've you tried to destroy the creature?

CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Great... now, what else can we be looking at to gather more information... ::Ponders::

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: At this point, we have limited information.  I will have Science try to open a data link to your computer, and we can share information.  ::Looks at Science to see if they can do it::

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> CNS: We've shot at it, bribed it.... nothing works!!!

SO_Silver says:
::Also considers::

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: I am going to route more power to the scans to try and get more information on this thing...

CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the CEO::  CEO: That could work....but I will also run the tactical sensorpadds through the science's one that should magnify their intensity as well..

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> ::Throws up his hands in disgust.::

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: That totally reeks.  Did you, um, give it treats or anything?  You know, feed it anything?

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Anything would be of help so we can prepare sir. ::wonders if that is Harmony he is talking about::

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: Did you try to give it love or something?

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::turns to console taps commands rerouting more power to the sensors:: CTO: Acknowledged.

Capt_Townsend says:
# ::Is slightly angry and runs to catch up with Trent:: Trent: so much for sickbay....

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> CNS:  Yeah.... every bit of energy before it killed us.

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: Go ahead.

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: Since they are further out XO have them set up a relay, I want as much information getting into he hands of the federation as we can, just in case the next ship finds us to be the ghosts.

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: That totally reeks, dude.  Thanks for the intel, though.

CTO_Jarot says:
::narrows a few parameters down::  XO: Commander, the darkness seems to contain of energy... pure energy...which would explain why it drained all other ships... my guess would be it needs the energy to survive... to live you want to use that word..

CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Why do I feel like we are missing something about the ghosts?

CNS_Phelps says:
<Becker> Nausican: What about you?  You've been kind of quiet.  What kinds of things did your people try before the thing et you alive?  You don't seem the type to give in easily.

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  I am not sure.

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: Aye ::begins rerouting power in a much different manner from most...this shows his unfamiliarity with the Vulcan ship::

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Nausican> ::Growls:: CNS:  We tried to destroy it of course.

CTO_Jarot says:
::quickly makes the adjustments as proposed by the CEO and routes the tactical sensors through the science's one trying to boost efficiency and intensity::

CSO_Singh says:
::Nods as she catches the CTO's words::

CNS_Phelps says:
Nausican: You have all the time in the world... laundry list, please.  Specifics.

FCO_Hanover says:
<T'Pot>@::walks over and shows Ensign Rowe how to work the Vulcan controls...nods and walks back off::

ACTION:  The Darkness makes a move in another direction... towards the Yara.

TO_Rowe says:
@::glances back, confused, and continues working::

Host Capt_Trent says:
#Townsend:  Oh no! We are on the move again.

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  Ma'am, it is moving towards the Yara....

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Commander, the Yara may be in trouble.

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Give me a small antimatter charge, targeted to coordinates away from us and the Yara

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Feels the move:: Trent: we may have more time then...this may be good...we have to warn them still ::Walks faster::

CNS_Phelps says:
CO: Well, sir, according to the Ferengi, bribing and shooting energy weapons didn't help.

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: The black hole seems to be moving closer to us...I suggest an alternate course

CSO_Singh says:
CO:  If the Yara can get within our arc, it too should read as null void...

XO_Savar says:
FCO: Keep us out of range still, using minimal thrust.  COM: Yara: The darkness may be heading towards you.  We will attempt to stop it, but you should be prepared to hold your distance.

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: I want to see if she can handle pure antimatter as well as well as energy and matter.

CNS_Phelps says:
CO: Still awaiting response from Mr. "I'm a Macho Ghost" Nausican, sir.

Host Capt_Trent says:
#Townsend:  Maybe our ghosts are warning them now...  ::looks hopefully.::

CTO_Jarot says:
::hears the CO and nods::  CO: Aye, Captain.. ::prepares a torpedo with an antimatter charge and loads it into one of the specially designed torpedo launchers, targeting it at the coordinates send by the CO::  Torpedo ready, Sir...

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: We see that...initiating the computers for evasive maneuvers if it becomes necessary. ::sits down at the helm kicking Salar out of the seat::

CSO_Singh says:
CNS:  Ma'am, do your ummm... ghosts, know why they are attached still to this object?

Capt_Townsend says:
#Trent: but we are not even sure if they can see the ghost

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Fire

Host Capt_Trent says:
#Townsend:  Our people did. ::hopes::

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods once again and fires the torpedo at the set coordinates to detonate at arrival::

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::turns to the CTO's station and watches his sensors::

CNS_Phelps says:
CSO: I dunno, they didn't say.  But they did say they're ghosts, so they could go anywhere.

CTO_Jarot says:
CO: Torpedo away...

FCO_Hanover says:
@::quickly moves over the control panel setting up the evasive maneuvers with hand hovering over the button to activate::

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: I am sensing an extra Klingon on the bridge of the Luna contact the Luna for me please and see what that is..

Capt_Townsend says:
#Trent: your people did...yet you are still here? ::Frowns::

Host CO_Harm says:
CNS: Start cataloguing what hasn't appeared to work from the information you can get from our guests.

ACTION:  The anti matter charge speeds throw space.  It attracts the entities attention, a cursory look, then it explodes.   The Entity races to devour it.

CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the viewscreen and follows the torpedo on sensors::

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: An extra Klingon?

TO_Rowe says:
@::nods:: FCO:  An extra

CNS_Phelps says:
::snaps her fingers:: CSO: Oh!  The Ferengi dude said that they're kinda stuck in there until the being is destroyed.

CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Well, there is one thing to add.

XO_Savar says:
CO: Captain, I think that we might be able to get inside and get information... if we use shuttlecraft.  Some of the shuttles aboard could be modified to emit the null field the CSO developed, or we could drift them in under minimal power.  I'm still curious if it is attracted only to energy as we think of it or also neural energy

CNS_Phelps says:
CSO: That's what he called it, the creature.

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Ens Rowe is sensing an extra Klingon on the bridge can you confirm? ::looks at Rowe curious::

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: One on the bridge of the Yara as well

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: Manned or unmanned vessels Commander?

Host Capt_Trent says:
@<Klingon> ::Pokes the TO in the chest.::

CSO_Singh says:
CNS:  But what ties it to them.  There must be some form of energy that keeps them... something the entity can't devour... which keeps them still partially alive?

CNS_Phelps says:
CO: Cataloguing now, sir.

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: There are only three Klingons on this bridge and I can see them all. ::starts wondering if the man is daft::

CNS_Phelps says:
CSO: Huh, good point.  Maybe they tasted funny.

CTO_Jarot says:
CO: Captain...the darkness is now moving towards the coordinates where the antimatter torpedo exploded..

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: So, uh, is there any reason you're kind of stuck to this creature thing?  Why haven't you been able to escape it?  I mean, aside from the fact that you have no physical legs and all.

XO_Savar says:
CO: That would depend on if the darkness can sense neural energy.  If it can... unmanned.  Then we could beam people off and try to get them out.  Although, we may want to have them unmanned anyway... we don't know that we can be protected from the effects of this.

CSO_Singh says:
SO:  See if you can't figure out what type of energy surrounds our ghosts and see if we can magnify that.  If nothing else, it might get us out of the thing.

FCO_Hanover says:
@::sighs watching the readouts that the black hole thingy isn't moving towards them again::

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::turns back to station taps commands watches the progress of the test::

SO_Silver says:
::Nods and begins to check that out.::

CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Lieutenant, is there any way we can neutralize energy... cause I remember reading about it a while back..

TO_Rowe says:
@::points at what he thinks is a Klingon:: FCO: I know what a Klingon is and I know what I see and sense....that is a Klingon.

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> ::Shrugs:: CNS:  It hasn't found a way to devour humanoid energy is all.

XO_Savar says:
CSO/SO/CEO: Did we ever determine if we could block the effects of the darkness by notating the shields?

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Gets to the operations center and moves behind a science consol::   Trent: I don't remember...did we try a probe?

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: Humanoid energy?  What do you mean, humanoid energy?

TO_Rowe says:
@Klingon: What do you want from me

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters to herself: Ferengi are humanoids???::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::looks around:: TO: Ensign there is no one near you except T'Pot and he isn't a Klingon.

CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Well, if the energy is the exact opposite and the two are pushed together, that would null it.

CNS_Phelps says:
CO/CSO: I don't know what it all means, but the Ferengi says that the Thing out there hasn't figured out how to devour humanoid energy yet.

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: Have you thought of the subspace energy acting as a bacon right back tot he Luna if we go unmanned?

Host Capt_Trent says:
#Townsend:  hmmmmmm I don't remember....

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: Hanover, I have been a Ullian all of my life and I know that I see a Klingon

CNS_Phelps says:
CSO: What the -bleep- is humanoid energy, sir?

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CSO: So... a large enough energy field could neutralize it ?

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: I think you are seeing things Ensign. ::starts pondering something::

CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at the counselor::  CNS:  I think I might have an idea...

CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  It is the spirit... what makes us who we are.  The one thing that no one has been able to replicate.

CNS_Phelps says:
CSO: Cool, because I've got no clue.

FCO_Hanover says:
@CMO: Luna: Commander I need to ask a question that might seem odd...it seems the TO is seeing things over here. Is this by chance happening on the Luna as well?

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Sir, about 3 hours...

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: Yes, it is.

TO_Rowe says:
@Computer: Can you please give me a count of the officers on the Yara?

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Attempts to prepare a probe and send it out::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::mutters:: Great just what we need a bunch of people seeing things that aren't there.

Host Capt_Trent says:
#::Crosses fingers.::  Townsend:  I hope this works ray.

FCO_Hanover says:
@<Computer> There are currently 50 officers on the Yara.

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: You must understand that I see the physical Klingon as well as sense them....all

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Closes eyes and crosses fingers:: Trent:....I hope so too...I hope..

TO_Rowe says:
@Computer: Are there any extra life signs?

FCO_Hanover says:
@::turns looking at the TO:: TO: Not to say you don't but they are reporting that others are "seeing" things on the Luna as well.

Host Capt_Trent says:
#Townsend:  Ray, do you think we will be rescued.... ::Sad look on his face.::

FCO_Hanover says:
@<Computer> The only life signs on the Yara are the officers and the family that are onboard.

CNS_Phelps says:
::throws up her hands in frustration::

Host CO_Harm says:
CNS: Tell the Ferengi to focus his thoughts away from us, and back tot he creature, in fact pass that same message back to all of our ghosts.

CNS_Phelps says:
CO: Aye, sir.

TO_Rowe says:
@::plops down on the floor of the Yara and begins to probe the CO's memory::

CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Can you create neuron energy as the brain produces between the synapses?  It doesn't have to be anything intelligent.

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi/Nausican: All right, you two.  Take this back to any ghosties you're hanging out with.  Focus your attention back to the creature.  Think at it.

TO_Rowe says:
@::shows a confused look::

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Knows they will be not be saved:: Trent: yes, of course we will ::Smiles:: we just have to hold on a bit more....just a bit longer, we'll make

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> CNS:  No why would we do that?  No profit in it.

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: I cannot retrieve a memory probe of the CO of the Luna....very strange

CNS_Phelps says:
Ferengi: Because it just might make you guys a hero.  Now get going!

Host CO_Harm says:
::Touches the Com button for ship wide communication::  ALL: Attention on the ship, many of you are seeing what appear to be ghosts, I need to know if any of them appear to be from the missing Starbase, if they are bring them to the bridge.

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* That's a tough question, sir.

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: The captain isn't readable I remember that from the time I served with him before.

FCO_Hanover says:
<edit out Serak>

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ferengi> ::Brightens at the thought and runs off to pass the message.::

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters: I could've been a Psychiatry Department Chair at Starfleet Medical, but nooooooo...::

CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  It might be the one type of energy the creature can not digest.

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Modulate our phasers to the precise frequency that the "Ghosts" are using to communicate.

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: That is strange....I have never found anyone unreadable to my power....I will have to speak with him..

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* it's also the type of energy that's extremely hard to recreate.  You're asking me to become God, sir.

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: Aye, Captain... I'll give it a try...

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: Don't ask me, my telepathic ability is a bit handicapped shall we say so I never tried.

CNS_Phelps says:
*CMO*: Just pretend you're meditating or something and reach out and touch someone.

CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Lieutenant, can you send me the frequency that the ghosts are using to communicate with us ?

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: Pass this on the Lara, that humanoid thought appears to be ah shall we say non digestible to the creature,, it may be our only effective weapon

XO_Savar says:
<Yara>

CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Well not exactly.  For we are not giving orders... if that makes sense.  There are no synapses to expand upon.  Only the energy.

FCO_Hanover says:
@<Serak> FCO: Anna we have some modified probes that we can try and launch into that thing with permission from the Luna of course.

CMO_Cameron says:
::blinks, not quite understanding that::  *CNS* Sure.

CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Ummm... yea.  I think so.

FCO_Hanover says:
@Serak: I can ask and see what they say.

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: Yara... we have determined that neural energy is unable to be.. processed by the darkness, and may be able to be used as a weapon.

CTO_Jarot says:
CSO: Thanks !

SO_Silver says:
::Glances at the CTO and sends him the requested data.::

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters: if *I* get confused, I should spread the joy around....::

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Commander, Serak has offered the use of several modified probes to launch into this thing if you think it will help.

ACTION:  Some Purple beings appear on both bridges....  Dancing around, pointing in the opposite direction.

CSO_Singh says:
::Jumps out of the way as something starts to pass through her.::

Host CO_Harm says:
CNS: I need one of these ghosts to establish communications with Capt Trent on the station

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* Well, that's just an electrical charge created by amino acid proteins.

CNS_Phelps says:
Purple beings: Hey, y'all Purple Dudes.  Who are YOU?!

XO_Savar says:
::Sees purple, and wonders if Fizer is showing up.. he could use the help of the Q::

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: Can you remind the Luna that I am a Ullian?

CNS_Phelps says:
CO: Okay, sir.  

CTO_Jarot says:
::takes a few phasers and begins adjusting them to the frequency as supplied by the SO, then handing a few to his security staff::  SecStaff: Make sure these are distributed among the security staff, and see to it that all other phasers are calibrated in the same way.. ::nods:: move it !

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: What is your idea sir?

XO_Savar says:
::Looks at the CO to see if he has an idea on how to use the information::

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: Please forgive my stupidity on this but I am not very familiar with the Ullian's.

CNS_Phelps says:
Nausican: Hey, before you go off, can you make contact with Captain Trent on that Starbase that the critter tried to Eat?

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Cronies> CNS:  We are the Crones we come from far away... ::It really sounds jumbled to the CNS's ear.::

CTO_Jarot says:
::puts one of the adjusted phasers with him and turns to the CO::  CO: The phasers have been adjusted... and will be distributed among the crew as soon as possible...

CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Can that be produced in some kind of quantity... maybe if we put it into some kind of torpedo.  We might give it indigestion to start with.  Enough of it might do serious damage... it is an idea.

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::watches the purple beings and shakes head:: Self: I need a break or something.

CNS_Phelps says:
Crones: Real cute.  Select one of you to talk, or I isn’t listening.  ::mutters: jabberers::

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: I understand that but by birth we are very powerful in telepathic ability's I may be able to speak with a telepathic ghost that the officers are seeing, I may be able to gather very important information

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Nausican> CNS:  You mean the live ones...  Trent.....and.....ummmm Towsend ?

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* Er, that would take a few years, sir.  This kind of energy is minute.  It's designed to send a transmission to a tiny synapse.

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  The probes are ready.

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: The new TO asks that I remind you he is a Ullian and very strong telepathically.

CNS_Phelps says:
Nausican: Cool!  They're alive!  Um, yes, those two.

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Crones> ::Giggles and start playing with the CNS's hair::

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Nausican> CNS:  I will pass your message

CSO_Singh says:
::Sighs::  *CMO*:  Well, it was an idea.  Thank you.

CNS_Phelps says:
Crones: Cut that out, you weirdoes.  Where do you come from?  Do not tell me you are Luke Skywalker.  I'm not into that kind of thing.

CNS_Phelps says:
Nausican: Thanks, Nausican dude!

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Sir, the various energy probes are ready to test on the entity.

CTO_Jarot says:
::begins calibrating the ships phasers on the same frequency as well as next part of the project::

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Seeing the probe do nothing, moves over and sites in his chair::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::slows the Yara to impulse and surveys the area through the screen::

XO_Savar says:
CO: Captain, energy probes are ready.  Will you give the word?

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* Yes, sir.

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  Maybe a future project?

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: We are five minutes behind you sir any orders?

Host Capt_Trent says:
#<Nausican> ::Appears to Townsend::  Townsend:  Someone says they are coming to get you.   Sit tight and wait...  These fools are actually going to try and save you.

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters: or Obi Wan Kenobi, for that matter...::

CSO_Singh says:
::Smiles::  SO:  I will give it to you.

TO_Rowe says:
@::plops down once again::

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: The word is given,

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters: or even Yoda...::

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Crones>  ::Examine her clothing::

CSO_Singh says:
::Nods to Silver::

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: I am sorry Ensign. I can't get an answer if they want to use the probes either.

CNS_Phelps says:
Crones: So.  You like this suit?  Where DO you come from, anyway?

SO_Silver says:
::Reaches over and taps in the commands, sending off the 15 probes of various energy.::

CTO_Jarot says:
CO: Captain....the ships phasers have been adjusted to the ghost’s frequency as well..

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Fire for effect.

CMO_Cameron says:
Ridge: Nurse Ridge, get me the genomic protein generator.  And a large petri dish.

TO_Rowe says:
@::stands back up after his latest memory probe::

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Jumps up:: Nausican: they are actually coming...will they be here soon...we are running out of time...

ACTION:  The probes speed towards the Darkness...  Two probes enter, looses readings, another, then another...  As the last couple probes go in.  One begins to send back telemetry.

CTO_Jarot says:
::loads the phaser’s new frequency and fires them at the darkness::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::taps fingers anxiously watching as the probes launch from the Luna...looks up feeling Serak's hands on my shoulders and smiles::

TO_Rowe says:
@::huddles closely watching the probes::

SO_Silver says:
::Sighs:: CSO:  They were all eaten ma'am...

ACTION:  As the phasers fire, several thousand "Ghosts" appear on the screens

CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at the data::  SO:  Yes, but wait... one wasn't... mark its frequency.

Host Capt_Trent says:
#<Nausican> Townsend:  They are coming... now do you have a message ?

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Sir, I am getting back some information from one of the probes.

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters: great.  That idiotic matter-eating machine et all THOSE guys?!  It's got no taste.  Absolutely no taste.::

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Commander Savar there is a general idea here. There are some experimental probes that we can possibly mask as neural energy. What if we load one of those with a matter/anti-matter bomb and launch it into the thing out there?

XO_Savar says:
CSO: What kind of information?  And how?

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Looks down and frowns:: Nausican: tell them to stay...if they come, they will join us...

CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the viewscreen and blinks::  Self: Ok..this weird..

TO_Rowe says:
@::glances over to FCO::FCO: That may just......work ::slides over to Science::

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: There are Starfleet personnel in the darkness that we should try to rescue... I'm not certain there would be anything to rescue if we blow everything up.

CNS_Phelps says:
Crones: Oh, and by the way, if you can tell us how we might get rid of this dark creature thing that apparently et you alive, can you tell me?  One at a time?

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  At a guess, one of the energy frequencies was not digestible, so it can relay information, something we really weren't expecting.  But I will not throw away a gift.  As for information, the computer is still interrupting.

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: It was an idea sir before that thing eats anyone else. How do we even know they are still alive?

ACTION:  The Darkness jerks from the phaser fire.

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: The apparitions that have appeared are people from inside the darkness.

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: I have sensed the life of some of them they are alive

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: Great so back to the drawing board. Any ideas how to get them out? Or if we can even locate them in there?

Host CO_Harm says:
CSO: Can we use the probe that is functioning as a relay to find the Station?

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Feels the sudden jerks:: Self: what now...

ACTION:  The Darkness focuses its attention once again on the Luna.  Begins to slowly move towards her.

CTO_Jarot says:
::quickly scans the darkness' volume and density to ascertain if it was changed by the phaser fire::

Host Capt_Trent says:
#::Sitting on the floor talking-to himself.::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::spots the thing moving:: TO: Whatever it is we need to come up with something fast. ::starts backing the Yara away slowly::

CNS_Phelps says:
::sits on her Chair muttering to herself, something about 'the aliens are coming, the aliens are coming'::

CTO_Jarot says:
CO / XO: Sirs, I think we got it's attention again... the darkness is once again moving towards us....

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: Well...for now why don't we wait for the Luna's computer to interpret the probes information...they linked their computers with ours...maybe we can get something.

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Fire again, wider beam, lets deter it from coming any closer.

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Sir, I am picking up debris all over the place.  It appears to be in various stages of digestion.  ::Wrinkles her nose::  I am also picking up energy sources still there, though week.  There are also life signs.  It looks like it could be outpost 32 and the missing starship.

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: Send the phaser mods to the Yara

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Cmdr. Savar is it possible to get a shuttle in there to locate the missing SFC people?

CTO_Jarot says:
CO: Aye Captain..  ::fires phasers again, wider beam and full intensity::

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters: a jerk AND a messy eater.  I hate it already...::

Host CO_Harm says:
CSO: Pass on the Phaser mods to the station, lets see if they can give our friend some indigestion from the inside out.

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: Try it we need ideas and fast.

CSO_Singh says:
::Nods and looks over to Silver::

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: I was hoping we could, but I'm not certain.  It may eat it much like it did to the outpost and ship.  And we have no idea how to get out.  Prepare to receive phaser modifications... ::taps some controls to send the frequencies::

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  Got it.  Sending to tactical.  ::Sends::

ACTION:  As the phaser fire hits the entity this time, its energy sauce decreases by 2 %.   About 10 Ghosts disappear never to be seen again.  They have been released.

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Looks over her shoulder, and gets up. Moving over to Josh, sits beside him::  Trent: they're coming for us...we will be ok..::Tries to smile::

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Got them sir. ::passes them on to the Klingon at tactical::

Capt_Townsend says:
<Edit her to his>

TO_Rowe says:
@::steps over to tactical::

CTO_Jarot says:
::looks at the CO::  CO: It seems to be working, Sir..

Host Capt_Trent says:
#::Sing song voice.:: Townsend: T hey are coming to take us away........ha ha.

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Looks like it is working.  Some of the entities have vanished.  Small, but some.

CTO_Jarot says:
CO: The entity has decreased by 2%... and sensors show 10 ghosts that disappeared...

FCO_Hanover says:
@Paq: Get those modifications done fast and get ready to target.

FCO_Hanover says:
@<Paq> ::nods and gets to work:: TO: Would you care to help?

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Lets take this slow, there are those alive in there we need to get out

CNS_Phelps says:
::sighs:: Ghosts: Bu-bye, you guys... it was nice meeting y'all, but I guess you're going where you really want to be... you're ALL heroes, you guys.  ::waves::

TO_Rowe says:
@::begins helping the Klingon with the modifications:: FCO: Did we have permission to fire?

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::turns head to the CTO:: CTO/CO: What if we increased the power to the phasers? Try to drain it faster?

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: We have the modifications done do you want us to fire separately or with you Cmdr. Savar?

Capt_Townsend says:
# Trent: wahoo!! take us away, take us away, hope they takes us far away ::Starts laughing::

CTO_Jarot says:
CO: Understood..  ::begins analyzing the transmissions from the probe that survived inside the darkness::

Host CO_Harm says:
CEO: I am worried about the station and anyone still possibly alive.

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CEO: Should work.. but as the Captain said..it could hurt the people still alive inside...

TO_Rowe says:
@::plops down again trying to make a telepathic connection with anyone who is open to him::

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Nausican> ::Appearing once again on the Luna.:: CNS:  They have been told, they are waiting for you.  They don't have much time.

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: I think combining power would be helpful.  I will set up a coordination schedule with Tactical.  ::Looks at the CTO::

CNS_Phelps says:
Nausican: Thanks.  

CNS_Phelps says:
::gives the ghost a thumb-up, then turns to the CO::

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Acknowledged please communicate with Ensign Rowe when ready to fire.

CTO_Jarot says:
::hears the XO's comment::  XO: You said, Sir..?

ACTION:  Mr Rowe is swarmed with thoughts of the ghosts.

CNS_Phelps says:
CO: Sir, we need to hurry.  Townsend and Trent have been told the message, but they don't have much time.

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Ummm... since we can contact the ghosts... and we can get things inside.  Could we ask the ghosts to surround the station?  That would give them more time... assuming the creature can't eat them... also... considering how many are around the thing, what if all of them went back in?

Host CO_Harm says:
CNS: Can you Nausican friend pass on out phaser mods to the station

TO_Rowe says:
@::Concetrates, trying to single out one thought::

CNS_Phelps says:
CO: If he doesn't poof out on us, sure.

XO_Savar says:
CTO: Work on a coordination pattern with the Yara for firing on the darkness.

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Cmdr. Savar is it possible if we cause enough damage that this thing will spit out anyone still alive inside it?

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::mutters:: Self: This thing need to be destroyed.

CTO_Jarot says:
XO: Understood... will do Commander

CNS_Phelps says:
::beep-boops a PADD:: Nausican: Here are some phaser modifications those guys on the Station can use to beat back the Darkness.  Please give it to them, okay?

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Fire at random targets on the darkness, staying away from any matter that it might still ah be digesting

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  After all, one can not eat ones own.... ere.... excrement.

XO_Savar says:
COM: Yara: I believe that is the hope.

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Nausican> ::Seeing the mods, nods his head and vanishes once again.::

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: What is the Yara's status?

XO_Savar says:
CSO: Yes, that is a good idea.  ::Gives the order to the Counselor::

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Then we will have the Yara ready to go in and gather the people if that is acceptable sir. We are smaller and more easily maneuverable.

Host Capt_Trent says:
#<Nausican> ::Reappears to Townsend.::  Towsend: T his is what you have to do...  ::Whispers in his ear.::

TO_Rowe says:
@::Stands up:: FCO: I am sorry I was thought to rely on my telepathic abilities

CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at the CO::  CO: Aye Captain...  ::programs a few non matter area's and fires the phasers in 5 second bursts at each of the coordinates while he glances at the readouts of the probe::

FCO_Hanover says:
@TO: When the Luna says so fire with them.

TO_Rowe says:
@FCO: I know....

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters: Wow.  Who'd have thought Nausicans are good at memorization?  Good thing, though...::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::smiles:: TO: That's okay, mine isn't able to be stood upon so I have to depend on my wits.

XO_Savar says:
CO: The Yara has made the modifications to their phasers and are standing by for retrieval efforts.

XO_Savar says:
<efforts>

CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Send a probe towards the entrance of that creature, increments of every... 45 seconds.  That way the ghosts can get back in.

SO_Silver says:
::Nods and gives the order for the change::

CTO_Jarot says:
::quickly sends the firing pattern to the Yara as well, tactical console::

TO_Rowe says:
@::steps over to tactical::

FCO_Hanover says:
@::plots in the most direct course if that thing starts spitting out people ready to beam then to the Yara sickbay::

TO_Rowe says:
@::examines the firing pattern::

SO_Silver says:
CSO:  Ready...

CSO_Singh says:
CNS:  We are ready when you are.

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Gets up quickly, pushing over Joshua, and races to the tactical console::

Host Capt_Trent says:
#::Falls over and laughs::

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Cmdr Savar, course plotted and laid in for retrieval process if it becomes necessary.

Host CO_Harm says:
FCO: Take us in, flank the Yara's position give the CTO a better firing solution.

CNS_Phelps says:
Ghosts: Hey, guys?  Do us a BIG heroic favour and go surround the Station in that dark thing, okay?  Pretty please?  ALL of you guys.  Thanks a billion.

CTO_Jarot says:
::blinks at the probe's readouts::  CO: Captain...probe readouts definitely suggest we are doing damage.. but not extensive..  although it also picked up an opening...

XO_Savar says:
@COM: Yara: Yara, move out.

Host CO_Harm says:
<FCO> Aye sir, ::engages thrusters::

CSO_Singh says:
::nods to Silver::

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ghosts> ::Furiously shake their heads no.::

SO_Silver says:
::Starts sending the probes::  Open wide big critter....

Host CO_Harm says:
XO: Its time to go on the offensive number one.

CNS_Phelps says:
Ghosts: WHY NOT, you ungrateful bunch of weirdo spirits?!

FCO_Hanover says:
@COM: Luna: Acknowledged. ::moves alongside the Luna thinking how small they look next to her::

SO_Silver says:
::Sends one probe after the other::

Host Capt_Trent says:
<Ghosts> ::Several growl at her but leave anyway...::

CNS_Phelps says:
::mutters: Ghosts... they got attitude problems... gees...::

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Attempts to work the console but his hands are shaking:: Self: what was I to do...oh yes...::Tries to modify the phasers::

ACTION:  It can been seen that the entity is bloating a bit as the ghosts enter.

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Sir, it seems to be working...

TO_Rowe says:
@::motions for a chair::

TO_Rowe says:
@::tapping buttons on tactical, accidently taps the wrong one,motions for the nearest Klingon::

ACTION:  The entity is becoming adjitated.

FCO_Hanover says:
@<T'Pot> ::walks over and quickly stops the process of launching the probes:: TO: Please be careful.

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Can we lunch a runabout by remote, have it programmed to start firing at non material targets once it is inside?

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  Sir... we might want to back away from it...

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Fires the phasers::

TO_Rowe says:
@T'Pot: I apologize

XO_Savar says:
FCO: Keep us a good distance away from it.

SO_Silver says:
SO:  Incoming data...

FCO_Hanover says:
@<T'Pot>: No harm done it does take a while to get used to these controls.

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: That should be possible.. that is if it still has enough power to fire it phasers while inside of the darkness ?

FCO_Hanover says:
@::keeps eyes peeled for any signs of real people being ejected from the entity::

Host CO_Harm says:
CTO: Use the "ghost frequency" to reinforce our shields

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* Bridge from Sickbay.

CSO_Singh says:
::Glances at the information::  XO:  Commander... the ghosts are surrounding the station and... blood.  The creature has ripped open an area of the station.

CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Harmony here.

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* I've made a start for you.

TO_Rowe says:
@::examines readouts being sent to the Yara from the Luna::

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods and sends the frequency to the CEO for alteration of the shields::

CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Great... uhh... are we still looking at years?

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* How does 20 nanograms catch you?

CSO_Singh says:
*CMO*:  Small... but... maybe it only needs to be small... after all, something pure and powerful has more punch then anything else.

Capt_Townsend says:
#::Looks impatient:: Trent: you thinking clearly at the moment,,,cause I need some help..

CEO_O`Guinn says:
::taps commands altering the shield settings::

CTO_Jarot says:
*Flightdeck*: Jarot to Flight Crew... I need you to prepare a runabout shuttle ASAP... I will load the phaser patterns and frequency into it's tactical systems.. just need to make it ready...you have 10 minutes, Jarot out.

Host Capt_Trent says:
#::Playing with his fingers.:: Townsend:  Help ?

FCO_Hanover says:
@::Mutters:: Come on and give up what you know you shouldn't have. ::watches the entity close::

Host Capt_Trent says:
ACTION:  The station, begins to move.

Capt_Townsend says:
#Trent: yes help....need more power, can you use that brain of yours and get us more power!

Host CO_Harm says:
ALL: Hold Position

CSO_Singh says:
XO:  The station is moving...

CMO_Cameron says:
*CSO* I'll keep trying, sir.  Cameron out.

CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at Silver::

CNS_Phelps says:
::holds position.  Good thing she's sitting down and muttering to herself, that's an easy stance to hold::

Host CO_Harm says:
FCO: Plot us an intercept course, bring us to the point the station will emerge.

XO_Savar says:
CO: Captain, the ghosts are surrounding the station and the creature has ripped open an area of the station

TO_Rowe says:
@::looks around from tactical::

SO_Silver says:
::Shakes her head, but crosses her fingers as time is running out for the station... if not them.::

Host CO_Harm says:
<FCO> Aye sir ::lays in a course to the station, for when it emerges::
