Summary
The USS Nighthawk arrived at the station where this all started with the mission on the Coobla.  Captain Anderson met up with the doctor and asked her to join him while meeting with Captain Jalazha, on the Coobla situation.  Since the Doctor had first hand contact with the queen, she might have a special insight, which can help with the Coobla.  

Meanwhile Commander Monroe had his brain picked apart by the Counselor.  He was called to the Counselor’s office and was asked how his feeling towards his new baby was.  His feelings was mixed and confused.  He told him about a dream, Varesh picked it apart and told him what it was about.

Lieutenant Spencer worked on a plan to get out this dimension.  He started to doubt his work but then decided to head to the station for inspiration.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CO's Log Stardate 10401.31:  The crew of the Nighthawk is still looking for a viable solution to get the ship back to our own dimension.  Meanwhile, we are heading to another region of space to inform Captain Jalahza all that we have learned about the Coobla.

Host Biishe says:
<FCO Flight> CO:  Captain, we are 10 minutes from the station.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::paws through a pile of PADDs, get the one he wants and reads it quickly::
Host Biishe says:
<OPS Reason> CO:  I have the station comming us.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Commander, a moment of your time please.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sitting in his chair on the bridge::  FCO: Drop to impulse...
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::In the Science Labs, going over another examination of the molecules of the honey::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
OPS: Hail the station...
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<FCO Flight> ::Nodding, drops to impulse.::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Mulls in sickbay:: *CNS*: Depends if you can get me out of here.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> COMM:  Station:  This is the USS Nighthawk.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: *XO*: The only way I can spring your from there is if you come to my office... and then I have to send you back there once I'm done with you.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@COMM: Nighthawk:  Welcome back.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CNS*: Oh well, at least I don't mull in here for the next couple hours.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
COMM: Station: Thank you Captain...we have some information that I think you will be very interested in.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
Self: The report was right, this substance is very similar to our own universe.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
*XO*: Then I expect you to be knocking on my door in three minutes... sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CNS* Be right there. ::Heads to the counselors office::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@COMM: CO:  I look forward to hearing what you learn.  My ops officer are sending you docking cooridinates now.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::walks over to the little lounge, sipping some fruit juice::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<FCO Flight> CO:  Coordinates coming in now.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods:: COMM: Station: Thank you Captain...  ::turns to his FCO:: FCO: Take us in...
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sits down and watches the ship approaching the station, ready to dock::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<FCO Flight> ::Taking the ship to 1/4 impulse, then begins to slow further.::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Contemplates on heading somewhere else, like the holodeck or the lounge, but finds himself drawn to the Counselors Door, and knocks::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Enter.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::With a sigh, stands up from her desk.  She did not know this species well enough to understand their body language and tones, but she did not get the impression the Nighthawks captain was ecstatic about returning.  Then again, she could understand him wanting to go home.::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks in:: CNS: Counselor.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Commander. Please have a seat. ::pauses a moment:: You know why I asked you to come here??
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<FCO Flight> ::Entering the docking bay, he makes a minor adjustment for the station's docking clamps don't work as well on the Nighthawk.::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<FCO Flight> CO:  Captain, we are docked.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: No idea.... I have a odor problem?  ::Sits::
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Takes a sample of the honey and tries to enter it's atomical structure into the replicator system::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> CO:  Station has granted us permission to use its facilities.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods to the FCO and turns to OPS:: OPS: Inform Captain Jalazha that we will be right with him.   ::stands up and exits the bridge::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> CO:  Ay sir...
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> COMM:  Captain Jalazha:  The captain is on her way to meet you.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@COMM:  OPS:  I will be waiting for him at the docking ring.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
<Computer> CSO: Error! Substance not within specified parameters.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> *CO*:  Captain, the commander of the station will meet you at the docking ring.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: You know perfectly well. I was monitoring you during the procedure... I know you were doing serious emotional shifting.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::enters the Turbolift and orders it to sickbay::  *OPS*: Understood
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: And especially because this procdure was so unusual, I would've been more concerned if you were emotionally... blank.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Arriving at the docking ring, she looks out the spectator windows at the ship.  It was very different to the ones she used to.  Much smaller in ways, but there was an enchanting grace to her.  She wondered if it felt any different from other ships.::
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Smashes his fist onto the computer panel in frustration::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Well, what's her name brought it to my attention that she is my child.  And I am going to be a father.... I already have three wonderful kids.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::exits the Turbolift and walks into sickbay looking for Doctor Santiago::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Yes, and you were an unwilling participant in it all. But how do you feel about it - I'm not one for guessing.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<SO Curious> ::Walks in and looks at his chief.:: CSO:  Is something wrong sir?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Yes this was not my idea, I was abduced, and impregnated.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> *CO*:  Sir, the station has offered us shoreleave.  Should allow the crew time?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
<Nicholas> CO: Can I help you, sir?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: That is the matter of record, Commander - you still haven't told me HOW you feel.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks further into sickbay, towards the doctor's office:: CMO: Doctor Santiago?
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::looks up from her records...:: CO:  I'm in my office Capt!
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
SO Curious: You should be asking: Is anything right. No, no it's not. I don't know what's wrong with this sample but the computer won't replicate it. We can't get anymore. We know nothing about it, and yet, I'm expected to work miracles and get us home with it.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Places the padds down on her desk and stands up.::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Conflicted.... it is my child but it isn't...
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::taps his commbadge:: *OPS*: If any of the crew wishes to take shoreleave they are certainly welcome to do so
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<SO Curious> ::Nods in sympathy.::  CSO:  They say the engineers are miracle workers, yet they are always asking of us the impossible.  Like we can pull rabbits out of diamonds.  Anything I can help with?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: XO: I can only imagine, but I will never know... unless you count the two days I had a Trill symbiont. But its not remotely the same.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> *CO*:  I will send out the all call and being processing requests.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::When the Capt doesn't come in, she makes her way out into the main sickbay.::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks into the doctor's office:: CMO: Ahh good Doctor, we have just docked with the Starbase.  As you have had the most time with the Coobla I was hoping you would share your experiences with Captain Jalazha
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
;:Runs smack into the Capt.::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> *All call*:  Accepting all shoreleave requests for the station.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Talking into his chest with a muffled sound:: CO:  Ahhh sure Sir, with pleasure.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
SO Curious: I just don't know what I'm supposed to do. It's like leaping off a cliff with a five leaf clover in your hand. I don't have any idea whether there is any way of causing this explosion and getting home alive. You want to help? Then tell me, am I crazy or can this actually work?
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<FCO Flight> OPS:  Sign me up first.  I hear our ride back is going to be bumpy and not do to my flying.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::hits the Doctor:: Outloud: Ooof...  CMO: Sorry about that..
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Quickly steps back.::  CO:  SOrry Sir.  I'm not used to running into people in my doorway.  ::Grins::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Yeah not quite sure what to think about it.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: That's quite alright, it was my fault...shall we?  ::starts to walk to the door::
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CO:  One favour Sir though... don't tell Varesh that I actually agreed to shoreleave.. ::Enters into her office once again.::  May I get you something to drink?
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<SO Curious>::Confidently::   CSO:  You can do it sir.  As I understand it, it is only a one way trip back, so you shouldn't need any more of that stuff.  ::Nods to the amber looking substance.::  As for the explosion...  ::Shakes his head.::  Perhaps talking with the engineer would work best for that.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: And I Don't expect you to sort out your feelings in such a short time - the child will still be in sickbay for a few weeks - so you should get yourself ready for the time to come.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Patiently waits, enjoying the view and a few moments of peace.::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> FCO:  Less pessimisms please.  And you are first on the list.  Off with you.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::grins at the doctor:: CMO: Of course....and no thank you
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes a seat at her desk.:: CO:  Please have a seat...  Hmmmm Sir, what makes you think that I could add anything about the Coobla with our new friends?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks down::CNS: Not quite sure if I can keep her.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<FCO Flight> ::Quickly locks his station before anyone changes their mind and heads for a quick change before discovering if this universe had bars too.::
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Takes out a padd:: SO Curious: I already have. Plus I've sifted through Starfleet data banks, there's no record of this ever being done before. The scientist in me is thinking that this is crazy, that the statistics are immeasurably against us.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
SO Curious: But then another part of me, the human, is telling me that I'd much rather be blown to pieces than live my life in this universe.............
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Understandable - and no-one would blame you if you couldn't. And if anybody does have something to say... ::scowls:: I'll have a talk to them.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Well first off doctor, I think you should know that Captain Jalazha is waiting for us at the docking ring.  Second off, from your report you spent a great deal of time with their "queen."  You are the foremost authority about the Coobla on this ship
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<SO Curious> CSO:  I know I am more then ready to go home.  There is no telling what my family is thinking happened to me.  But... given being blown to bits, is this place really so bad?
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason>  ::Smiles as many requests begin to flood his console.  People were probably equally curious as well as wanting to stretch their legs.::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CNS: Thanks.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CO:  I guess authority and prisoner in this case are the same thing.  ::Taps a padd on her desk.::  I suppose I could go.  I'm not sure that I can do any good though... I've seen a side to the Coobla that they may not understand.   Some of the Coobla have compassion.  Not exactly the monsters they believe.  They are just another species trying to survive.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> *CO*:  The majority of the crew have sent in requests.  A few have added requests for supplies.  How would you like me to handle that?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles gently:: XO: And that goes for you too. My door is open, any time - the kind of service I offer the bigwigs.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CO:  The only other thing is they have an adversion to clothes.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Which is exactly why I want you to come with so that we can make them understand that concept, that the Coobla are not compeletly "evil"
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Sighs:: SO Curious: This place is a scientist's dream. Exploring the unknown, going where no one has gone before. And yet, to me it's like a nightmare. And I'd rather die than stay here. But I don't know how the rest of the crew feels.......
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Slowly nods::  CO:  Aye Sir.  I'll do what I can.  Sir has their been any further evidence of other federation citizens in this area?
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<SO Curious>  ::Takes a seat::  CSO:  Die sir?  You find it that bad?  ::Nods toward the PA system.::  Perhaps a walk around the station might make you feel better.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: So even if I have nightmares I come and see you?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: I might grumble under my breath - but if you need to talk to someone after a nightmare - call me.. my quarters are on the same deck as yours.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::thinks of the strange question the doctor brought up:: CMO: No...I assumed that any citizens would have evacuated this area.  However that is a good question we should ask the Captain
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Suddenly perks up:: SO Curious: Perhaps you're right. Maybe that will give me some inspiration. Thank you, you've really helped me.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Glances over at the chronometer behind her and raises an eyebrow::  COMM: Nighthawk:  Is there a problem?  We can delay this if need be.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CO:  Thomas said there were others... I wonder if they just found another planet to settle down in.  ::Sighs::
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CO:  I guess we should get going...  ::Checks her appearance in the full length mirror.::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> *CO*:  Sir, Captain Jalazha is asking if there is a problem and if you need more time to meet later.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*OPS*: No...inform the Captain that that won't be necessary, and apologize for the delay
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<SO Curious> ::Smiles as he scoots off the stool::  CSO:  My pleasure sir.
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Taps his commbadge:: *CO*: Captain, when are you planning to board the station?
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Ok There was this other night I had a nightmare... well it is not a nightmare, just a dream.... Not sure.... It was with my kids, and the other kid was with in it.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> *CO*:  Aye sir... and the request of crew for supplies?
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> COMM: Jalazha:  Our captain sends his apologize and is on his way.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CSO*: As we speak Lieutenant...is there a problem?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: XO: I can understand why it would have your kids and then her.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@COMM: OPS:  Thank you.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS:  Why?
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
*CO*: If it's alright with you, I'd like to accompany you, I think it would be more beneficial than being stuck in this lab.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*OPS*: I doubt that they will have any sort of supplies that would be able to help us, but see what you can do
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CNS: Well, it is what you have an issue about... you already have three children and then there is another one.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> *CO*:  Aye sir.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
*CSO*: Very well Lieuteant, join us at the docking ring
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> COMM: Jalazha:  We have a request for some supplies... might we do some trading?
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Considers a moment.::  COMM:  OPS:  Go ahead.  Contact the operations chief of the station.  I will leave it to the two of you.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> COMM: Jalazha:  Thank you ma'am.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: I only have 3 kids!
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
*CO*: Aye aye Captain. ::Heads out of the Science lab::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Of course you do, and you have to decide whether or not this baby is something of you or not.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Yes we should...  ::heads out of the sickbay and towards a turbolift with the doctor::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
ACTION:  As the NightHawk crew requests for shoreleave are processed, they slowly begin to leave the ship and visit the station.  There are many faces there just as curious about them.
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Follows the Capt.::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<SO Curious> ::Watching his chief go, puts in his request for shoreleave.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: But you haven't told me the rest of your dream...
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Heads into the Turbolift::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::enters the Turbolift and orders it to the Docking ring where they can meet the Captain::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
<OPS Reason> ::At the stations ops officer request to come aboard and discuss things, he smiles, thinking of the various things they might trade for.  This was the reason he enjoyed operations so much.  Stands to go meet her.::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: I was on the beach with my 3 children that I had with my previous wife.  The kids and I were playing.  I noticed a little child in the background, crying.  As I went to her, the background faded.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: And then?
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Heads down to the Docking Ring::
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Watches curiously as various species debark from the Nighthawk.  None of them are familiar, and yet there was similarities to them and their variety.  This 'federation' did not really seem that much different from theirs.   If only they had not inadvertently destroyed one of their stations and consequently many of its crew.::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: And then I as I looked at the child it was a Coobla Girl.  She held her arms up.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::These people seemed more impulsive then her own.  Action first, question later.  Not the best of traights.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Wanting to be held?
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks out of the Turbolift with the Doctor and walks towards the Docking ring, looking for Lieutenant Spencer along the way::
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CNS: I just stood there, staring.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Her eyes sweep through more of the crew, looking for their captains vaguely familiar face.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Watching with curiosity the new species and how different they were from the Coobla.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Just staring? Any feelings that went with this dream? Something made you angry, sad...
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Walks along and spots the Captain and runs over to him:: CO: Captain!
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Curiousity.
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks:: XO: I wouldn't expect curiosity... why were you curious?
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CSO: Lieutenant...  ::turns to the CMO and CSO::  CMO/CSO: Shall we go and see Captain Jalazha
CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CO:  Let's go... ::Takes a deep breath::  Hopefully this mission will go better then the last ime.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: At first I didn't know what that girl looked like.  Or why she was in my dream?
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Why do you think she is? Was it because of what Tessie had said, and her being your child and all that?
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Agreed...
CSO_LtJG_Spencer says:
::Cringes as he thinks of the last time he spoke to Captain Jalazha:: CO: Alright.
XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Probably, subconsciencly, that thought was implanted in my mind.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns and walks with his officers towards the Docking ring to meet with Captain Jalazha and begin their discussion of the Coobla::
CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods slowly:: XO: Well, Commander - clearly you have a lot to sort out for yourself. I'm going to send you back to sickbay... but you need to resolve his.
Host Captain_Jalazha says:
@::Nods to the captain and the officers with him and takes takes them to her office for a debrief.::
