Episode 225 “Limitless Possibilities, Part 1”: The USS Luna is currently docked at Starbase 917 where the crew is enjoying some R&R.  Everything is quite, or as quite as usual when there are hundreds of people going about their daily routines, in fact it could be described as quite noisy.

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::resting in his quarters as it's his off-duty time::

ACTION: Admiral Weatherly is standing on the Starbases' promenade staring out at the stillness of the Briar Patch, he is flanked by two men in peculiar Starfleet uniforms, and strangely no one appears to be paying these men any notice what-so-ever.

Host Admiral_Weatherby says:
SF Officer: You are sure it's going to happen here?
Host SF_Officer says:
Admiral Weatherly: We are sure Michael, and if our projections are correct it is going to be like nothing we have ever witnessed.
Host Admiral_Weatherby says:
::sighs slightly:: SF Officer: How long do we have?
Host SF_Officer says:
Admiral Weatherly: Not long. ::takes an old fashioned chronometer from his tunic:: We have to be going or we will miss our transport window.  Good luck old friend, I have a feeling you are going to need it.

ACTION: Admiral Weatherly nods and turns inwards towards the promenade, but the two officers he was speaking to have disappeared from sight.

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::gets up and decides to head to the Starbase::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Has the bridge watch, going through some reports.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Returning to the Luna aboard his yatch, he takes his time to precisely dock with the undercarriage of the vessel before shutting down ::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: In his quarters with Caleb ::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: On the station, roaming around.::

ACTION: The bridge is quiet, only a couple engineers are present, making as little noise as possible underneath the tactical console

XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Nods towards the duty officer as she is informed of the captains return.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::arrives at the Starbase's docking ring::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Pauses before an antique shop.::

ACTION: Simultaniously on the Starbase and the Luna the lights and consoles flicker on and off slightly, the two engineers on the bridge begin a heated debate about how they were not to blame

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::stepping through the entrance way between the two he notices the simultaneous flicker::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
::Glances over at the engineers:: EO: Gentlemen?
Host EO_Ratchett says:
XO: Nothing to do with us.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::grabs one of the Starbase crew::  Crewman:  Are you having power fluctuations?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Looks around at the flickering lights before heading into the shop and over to the ancient bow.::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
EO: Track it down.
Host Crewman says:
::is grabbed:: MO: Did the flickering lights give you a hint?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Disembarks the yatch along with his wife, making small talk regarding their short trip ::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::eyes the crewman::  MO: Well perhaps you should look into it don't you think?
Host EO_Ratchett says:
XO: Yes sir.
Host Crewman says:
MO: Do I look like an engineer?  We have people that deal with this sort of thing.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Talks with the propriotor gathering as much information as possible.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
SB Crew: You look like someone confident enough to report the experience incase it has only occurred in this section.  Perhaps I was wrong
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Walks over towards science and does a quick sensor check.::
Host EO_Ratchett says:
XO: Sir, according to the computer there has been no power fluctuations for 17 hours and 26 minutes, and that was isolated on deck 7
Host Crewman says:
MO: I will do that, now if you will excuse me ::stomps off down the corridor mumbling::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
::Turns around:: EO: No power fluctutation... ::Considers::  Obviously something happened.  See if you can locate it.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::wonders if all Starbase personnel are like that and heads back into the Luna::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Turns back to the science station and pulls up the sensor records.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: finishes what him and Caleb where doing. Caleb, do you want to go to the starbase and go to the play area for awhile?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Receiving as much information as she could, she begins to bargin.::

ACTION: Poor Ratchett doesn't get the chance to do anything as at that moment the lights, consoles and everything else switches off on the Luna and the Starbase

Caleb_McDonald says:
CMO: YEEES daddy, lets go!
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::taps badge:: *XO* Commander?  It seems the Starbase is experiencing power fluctuations.  I'm heading back into the Luna to report for duty
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Glances towards the ceiling of the corridors, his small bag in hand ::  Self: Interesting.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: looks around at the now dark Luna :: Self: What the....
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Pauses in her actions::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::while talking over the Comm. Badge he steps right into a wall as the lights go out::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
::Slowly turns around::  EO: Ratchett?

ACTION: The comm is dead and emergency power doesn't appear to be kicking in, the only light is from the exterior portlets, where the gental red glow of the Briar Patch is providing some illumination

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
*XO* You around? All the lights just went out on the Luna, and auxillary power hasn't switched on yet.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Self: Of all the....  ::taps badge again::  *XO* All power is out in the lower decks Commander.
Host EO_Ratchett says:
XO: Sir?  I think I have a wrist light here somewhere...
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::taps badge a few times not getting a response::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Nods in the darkness::  EO: I will see if I cannot find the emergency kit.

ACTION: On the Starbase the SO can hear the sounds of panic beginning, people obviously don't know what is going on.

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Self:  Why does everything go wrong when we are at a Starbase?  ::heads for one of the Jeffrey's Tubes::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Turns from the propriotor and makes her way back through the crowded shop, her memory of the place good.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Finishes the journey to his quarters, and activates some emergency chemical lights before leaving for the Bridge, since his combadge seems to be non-functional ::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: not getting a response, he grabs caleb and heads for the nearest airlock ::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
::Her eyes adjusting to the nominal starlight coming from the briar patch and the small window, she finds the emergency kit and opens it up, shuffling through it.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
Self: Maybe they have some power on the starbase.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::begins climbing through the Jeffrey's Tube::

ACTION: As the CO moves down the familiar corridors he suddently finds himself in a lush green meadow, its a beautiful day and in the near distance a family can be seen having what appears to be a picnic

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Looks around curiously, and then glances behind him, seeing if he somehow wandered into a holofield ::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
::Activates the light and flashes it around::  EO: I need to know what is going on.  Send one of your people down to engineering and one to the station.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Self: This is going to be a long climb to the bridge.  I guess I perform my stress test a few weeks early
Host EO_Ratchett says:
::gets his wrist light on as well:: XO: I don't think the comm is working, we will have to walk, and if we have no power, its going to be difficult
Host EO_Ratchett says:
XO: Will you be okay up here by yourself?

ACTION: The CO can see nothing behind him but more meadow

SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Carefully winds her way through the people back to the ship.::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
EO: Yes...
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: wandering near the airlock just about to step over the threshold into the starbase noting there is no power there either.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::changes from the latter climb to a horizontal tube to adjust direction toward the forward bridge section::

ACTION: The MO suddently finds himself no longer heading towards the bridge, but he finds himself standing in what is quite obviously a prison cell, equipt with very heavy duty iron bars and authentic stone wall

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Raises an eyebrow slightly, and tries to contact anyone using his combadge ::  *All*: Anyone in the range of my communications, respond.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Makes her way to the docking bay, tense.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::stands there shocked for a moment wondering how the heck he got here::
Host Lt_Blake says:
::hisses to the MO from the cell opposite:: MO: Psst, what you in for?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::reaches out for the bars grabbing them then hearing the 'hiss'::  Blake:  Blake!!!  You!!!   Are you behind this??
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: With her light, makes her way to the captains ready room and using the manual override, opens the door.::
Host Small_Child says:
::tugs at the CO's trousers:: CO: Who you talkin' to mister?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::realizes something::  Blake: Weren't you shot on the Cloning Facility?
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: I'm behind a lot of things, but I aint seen you before in my life.
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: Cloning facility?  Nah, I was caught rustling sheep
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::scratches head realizing that Blake was a clone::  Blake:  Your Lieutenant Blake right?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Child: No one has answered me.  So I am speaking to you.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Blake: Rustling sheep???  ::scratches head::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Heading up the ramp, notes the duty officer is not about.  Continues onto the ship.::
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: I'm Lt Blake yeah, I see my fame preceeds me
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: gets a sense of urgency and confusion amongst the crew and station personnel :: Caleb: Lets hurry! :: grabs Caleb and runs onto the station ::

ACTION: The Captain's RR is bathed in red light, coming from the window

XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Entering the room, she flashes the light around as she heads for the port window to look out.::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::looking a little confused::  Blake: Lieutenant Blake of Starfleet right?  Starfleet Intelligence?
Host Small_Child says:
CO: Whatcha' doin here?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Aboard, notes that everything there is offline as well.  Begins to make her way to the bridge.::
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: What's a Starfleet? I think you are a couple loaves short of a bushel mate.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
Caleb: Stay close to dad. I have an odd feeling.
Caleb_McDonald says:
CMO: Me too daddy. Its scary!

ACTION: As the CMO enters the station he can hear screams, not normal screams, screams of terror and panic

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sighs hearing 'this' Blake::  Blake:  Ah...  your a figment of my imagination.  Let me guess.... when I hit my head after the lights went out, I fell unconscious and am now dreaming.  Gotcha.  ::goes to sit on the cot in the cell::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Pausing at an emergency hatch, pulls out a kid and from it a couple of the lights before proceeding.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: hearing the noise he cringes and scoops Caleb  up :: bolting for the nearest terminal ::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Child: I was wondering that myself.  Where am I?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Blake: To answer your previous question, I guess I'm in here because of the mis-use of medication.
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: Oh, been eating those mushrooms 'ave you?  They will rot your brain mate, take it from me.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods beginning to agree with the Blake figure::  Blake:  How long before we're tried.
Host Small_Child says:
::puts her hands on her hips and rolls her head to one side:: CO: You are here stupid.  You wanna come meet my mum and dad?  We are having chocolate cake, would you like some?
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
::Wondering what is going on with both the ship and the staton out.  That did not make sense.::
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: Tried mate?  Not trials here; they just lock you up and throw away the keys
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Considers just following along ::  Child: I would like that.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: arriving at the terminal he sees that there is no power here either :: taps his commbadge :: *ALL* Anyone who can hear this this is Commander McDonald of the USS Luna. Respond please
Host Small_Child says:
::catches hold of the CO's hand:: CO: Come on then ::drags him along towards the picnic site::
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Blake: Just where the heck are we anyway now that you raise the idea?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Through an access way, begins to make her way up to the bridge.::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Returns to the bridge, uncertain how best to proceed.::

ACTION: The CMO gets no response, but he can see flashes of light from up ahead, the screaming seems to be subsiding

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: puts Caleb down and grabs his hand seeing the light :: ALL: Whos there! Identify yourself!
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: This is The Prison, they send you 'ere if they want to forget about you
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Quickly makes her way up and finds the security hatch to slip through.::
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Turns toward the sound in the absolute darkness, noting light gleaming off silver hair.::  SO: Silver....

ACTION: As the CO approaches the picnic site he can now clearly make out the people sat here, from behind they are very obviously a Vulcan male and a Human female, there are a couple other children on the blanket, eating chocolate cake

ACTION: Again the CMO gets no response, but the light show appears to be getting closer

MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sighs::  Blake: I know that you fool.  Where is this prison located?  ::pausing::  Those 'mushrooms' have had a greater effect on my memory than I expected.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
XO: Yes ma'am.  The station systems are down as well.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
SO: So I noted.  Any idea why?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
XO: None.
Host Spectator says:
::steps out of the shadows on the bridge and speaks in hollow tones:: SO/XO: Your power is working fine, it is you who are not.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: pushes Caleb behind him and stands fast :: grabbing for his belt and his concealed phaser ::
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: This place is whereever they want it to be.  Those mushrooms to all sorts mate.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Turns to look in the direction of the voice.:: Spectator: Excuse me?
SO_Lt_Silver says:
Spectator: Why are we not working right?
Host Spectator says:
XO: I said your power is working fine, it is you who are not.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Takes note of the persons running about, suspecting he knows their identities ::
Host Spectator says:
SO: Because you are experiancing a nexus
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
:: Looks over at Silver::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
::Shrugs:: Spectator: I would rather not experience a nexus.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Blake: The mushrooms brought me here?
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
Spectator: How do we correct this problem?

ACTION: The lightshow subsides slightly as it rounds the corner and in the middle of it the CMO can see what appears to be the XO, although she never looked like this.  Electricitly appears to be corsing through her body, her hair is onfire and her eyes are like two suns, she also is floating above the bulkhead

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: looks shocked at the sight of the XO :: a Phoenix? nawww It couldn't be.

ACTION: The two figures turn to face the CO and he sees himself and Commander Singh, they both look happy, if slightly older than at present

Host Spectator says:
SO: You should be honored, very few ever do.
Host Spectator says:
XO: You cannot, you must last it out, soon the course will be chosen
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: considers:: Spectator: That depends... what are we supposed to do here?
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: Nah mate, they ruddy great guards brought you here, you had your head in the clouds for too long or summit?
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
Spectator: What course?  What is planned?
Host Small_Child says:
::speaks in a hollow voice:: CO: Don't they look happy, you could have this you know, it is in your future.
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
Blake:  I imagine you've been working on a way to escape right?
Host HarmonySingh says:
::almost screams the words at the CMO:: CMO: Pheonix, Pheonix die and are reborn, I am everlasting!  And this universe will kneel before me!
Host Spectator says:
SO: You are not supposed to do anything, but then you must do something.
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: closes his eyes and tries to break into the pheonix's mind ::
SO_Lt_Silver says:
Spectator: I must admit, I am not one for riddles.
XO_Cmd_Singh says:
Spectator: Ahhh... we can look forward to a headache.
Host Spectator says:
XO: Everything is planned, surely one with the sight knows such a thing.  The course I speak of is the way to those things that are planned.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
Child: Happiness is illogical, child.

ACTION: The CMO senses nothing from the figure in front of him except rage and hate, its so intense that he cannot penetrate the figures mind

XO_Cmd_Singh says:
::Becomes more intense:: Spectator: No...
Host Small_Child says:
::speaks in a hollow voice again:: CO: Then you choose the hard road, although this is to be expected of a Vulcan.
SO_Lt_Silver says:
:: Looks over at the first officer.::
CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
::Cringes in pain :: Self : Enough of that. :: backs out of the figures mind ::
Host Lt_Blake says:
MO: You are right mate, in fact, I will be getting out real soon, perhaps we will meet again, in another life eh?
MO_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::leans in close to the bars between Blake and himself::  Blake: Take me with you.  My knowledge of medical anatomy will be useful to you both in healing and where exactly to disable opposing forces in the escape or after

ACTION: The Harmony in front of the CMO raises her hands and a bolt of white hot fire shoots from her fingertips and straight at the CMO

ACTION: Meanwhile the CO finds himself back in the corridor of the Luna, only the smell of grass lingering in his nostrils

CMO_Cmdr_McDonald says:
:: grabs Caleb and pushes him to the ground :: *Transporter Room* 2 to beam anywhere but here!

ACTION: The fire never reaches the CMO, when he looks up next the figure has gone.  It seems that only the MO remains trapped in his own little cell.
