U.S.S. Pendragon
10210.03

Host Rofax says:
The crew of the Pendragon has been temporarily assigned to the USS Alcott.  They have seen images that defy explanation.  Space and time moved beyond reason.  Witnessing a future that was billions of years away, yet all appeared to remain.  As their engines began to come to life, the mysterious green light has met them again.

Host Rofax says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin: Just a Walk in the Park, Conclusion, unless you're really slow >>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION: As the green light fades, the crew finds they are conscious, but unable to move.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::thinks "now what?" and wishes she were more surprised::

CNS_Luchena says:
::has an itchy nose::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::panics as she finds she can't move::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits in office::

SO_Toms says:
::unable to move::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::at Science One wishing he were back in his quiet department::

CNS_Luchena says:
::would give anything to be able to scratch it::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::sits at station kinda frozen like, with a dumbfounded and sad look on his face::

Gilthanas says:
::In sickbay, quietly watching, moving around doing odds-n-ends.::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::imagines tapping her fingers on the Science One console to pass the time::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks around as far as her eyes can move anyway::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::hopes she can move soon before her eyes dry out completely::

CNS_Luchena says:
::would growl with frustration if his vocal cords were working::

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The bridge crew notices two shadows near the front of the bridge, apparently arguing as they find they are starting to regain muscular control.

Host CO_Zax says:
:thinks the quiet is quite refreshing::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::hopes her heart is still moving at least::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~CNS:: Wha..... What is this?~~~

SO_Toms says:
::wonders how he is breathing....::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tum ti tum::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::starts moving::

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~FCO:  Just keep breathing~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
::her eyes suddenly blink::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::takes a deep breath as motor control returns::

CNS_Luchena says:
::slowly moves his hand towards his face::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::begins to tap his fingers on the Science One console::

CNS_Luchena says:
::and scratches his nose::

Host Dket says:
:: continues arguing with her counterpart in an unknown language::

Gilthanas says:
::Pokes her head into the doctor’s office.  But as he is still immobilized, continues to finish up.  Her time there was limited and she did not like things a mess if she could do anything about it.::

Host CO_Zax says:
::swallows::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::feels she can move again and relaxes::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::at least, it seems like movement after being frozen...she wouldn't win a race against an amoeba at the moment::

SO_Toms says:
::something lets up, and he can slowly look around::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sighs with relief::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::taps on panel to get a location, checking scanners::

CMO_Shiar says:
::leans back in chair and reads reports::

Host CO_Zax says:
::eyes the shadows::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hears an unfamiliar language and puts the UT to work::

Host Dket says:
::hears the beeping from the FCO's panel and runs into a shadowy corner::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::would eye the shadows doubtfully if her back weren't to them and she actually knew about them::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Commander, if you please. ::nods towards the beings::

Host CO_Zax says:
CNS: Can you read anything, Counselor?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::not sure what the captain expects, so whips out her tricorder::

CMO_Shiar says:
::swivels in chair:: Gilthanas: you notice anything weird?

CNS_Luchena says:
::finally notices the shadows::  CO:  I'll try.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::continuing to get status, thinking that he might feel something, but ignores it:: XO: We are at a dead stop Commander. Our coordinates appear to be what they were when this madness began...

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: Are they actually corporal beings?

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Understood.

Gilthanas says:
::Looks back into the doctors office::  CMO:  Define weird please.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::wants to say "How the heck would I know?"::

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~DKet:  Hello there.~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  This is weird ... according to ships chronometers we've been here for 27 hours ...

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::still can only tap fingers::

SO_Toms says:
::starts running some diagnostics on the ships science systems to see if anything is broken::

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Better than a billion years.

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: not being able to move

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::wishes he could actually move an arm or even a wrist::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Most definitely, Sir!

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The CNS hears what sounds like thousands of voices in his head.  It is quite deafening.

CNS_Luchena says:
::brings down his telepathic curtain::

Host CO_Zax says:
TO: Get a security detail up here.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I couldn't make sense of it Sir.  Just a lot of voices.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I can't get any decent readings on them...their mass registers, but that's about it. ::goes closer to take a better scan::

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  I assume you mean, that you have loss of motor control.  Yes, that did occur.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the counselor::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::wonders why the shadows don't do anything.  They must hear us talking::

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: did it happen to you?

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the shadow beings:: Dket: Who are you?

CNS_Luchena says:
::opens his empathic mind to see if there are any emotions to these beings::

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  No doctor.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks over:: CNS: Lots of Voices?

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: figures

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::is beginning to have the mobility of his wrist and attempts to run scans in the area of the shadows::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Too many to distinguish one from the other, and in a language I didn't understand.

SO_Toms says:
::continues looking through diagnostics of systems... looking to clean up any holes in the system ::

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The XO sees a flash and then feels a slamming sensation in her chest, but she holds her ground.

Host CO_Zax says:
::thinks it’s too bad that T'rget was dead as he would have been the perfect person to ask to check out the shadows::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::staggers back:: SELF: What the....

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  I don't live... ::Pauses::  It was caused by the probe.  You might want to run a scan on... yourself.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks over to the Captain:: CO: Perhaps if Lt. Luchena and myself both attempted communication at once.... 

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks over at O'Dunn::  XO:  Are you all right?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns and furrows her brow, and approaches again, braced::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Be careful, Commander.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::notices the XO stagger::

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The SO is in direct line of the XO and the Shadows and finds himself lifted off the ground and slammed into a bulkhead, quite forcefully.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches her in amazement, overcome by her bravery::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the SO go flying::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::stops and takes a step back::

SO_Toms says:
Self: What the.... :: hurts::

CMO_Shiar says:
::gets out of chair and grabs a medical tricorder. starts scanning self::

Host CO_Zax says:
*Security*: Security to the bridge.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::gets up from her chair and goes to the SO's aid:: SO:  You alright?

Host CO_Zax says:
All: Intruder alert. All unnecessary crew in quarters.

Gilthanas says:
::Looks up for a moment and frowns::  CMO:  Doctor, you may be needed on the bridge.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CMO*  Medical emergency on the bridge.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::thinks that's his cue to leave... if only he could walk::

SO_Toms says:
::dazed... :: All: What? 

CMO_Shiar says:
*CNS*: on my way

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::locks down helm control:: CNS: Think that we could attempt combined effort to communicate?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: leaves and runs to TL::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Nothing to lose, but if it's painful close it.

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The SO notices a small hole through his shoulder.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks to the Captain for approval::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

CMO_Shiar says:
TL: bridge

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Can you erect a security field around them?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::gets up and walks over with the CNS:: ~~~Dket: We mean you no harm~~~

XO_O`Dunn says:
::takes another step back and throws the tricorder across the floor in disgust::

SO_Toms says:
::screams:: All: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::goes back to her station:: CO:  I can try, Captain.  ::initiates the field::

CNS_Luchena says:
::walks beside the FCO trying to add his consciousness to his::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::grabs a tricorder and tries to scan with that since he's not receiving a response from ship's sensors::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps out of TL:: ALL: where's the emergency?

CNS_Luchena says:
::points toward the screaming SO::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Would we be able to transport them off the bridge?

SO_Toms says:
::wide eyed... frightened::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::puts both hands on either side of head:: ::slow and detached:: CNS: Too..... Fast.....

CNS_Luchena says:
::was enjoying the telepathic bond with David::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::overhears and attempts to lock transporters on the aliens::

Gilthanas says:
::Prepares sickbay for the ens. Toms.::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I can't trust any readings about them. What I DID get isn't even remotely possible.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~Dket:: Slow down... To much.... ~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Yes, like the noises Jordan picked up earlier.

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The SO's shoulder appears to be collapsing in on itself.  Flesh slowly eating away the next layer of skin under it.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: I'd be afraid that we'd beam half the bulkhead out with them.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: runs to SO and runs scans::

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: this is bad

SO_Toms says:
::hysterical......:: All:: HELLLLLLLLLPPPP..... What’s happening.... 

Host Dket says:
::runs for another corner, followed by her companion and seemingly vanish::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the shadows vanish::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::pain of the forces activity easing off a bit:: CNS: Its like... The same voice... Repeated THOUSANDS of times...

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::is beginning to feel his blood pressure build from the stress on the bridge::

Host CO_Zax says:
CMO: Transport him to sickbay now!

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets out flesh regenerator and gets to work::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Let it go.

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The wound stops festering on itself and had left a perfect circle through the SO.

CMO_Shiar says:
COM: emergency transport, 2 to sickbay

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::continues to wonder why none of the medical scanning devices picks up these creatures::

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  Is Gilthanas still down there?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CNS_Luchena: No... I can... Maintain..... ::breathes a little harder::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the FCO with concern::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO/XO:  Sir!  I'm getting an intruder alert in Engineering ::sends security::

SO_Toms says:
::breathing heavily.... a audible tinge of horror and fear in the sound::

Host CO_Zax says:
All: Well? What have we got on them?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~Dket:: We mean you.... No Harm.... Please tell us what you want.... ~~~

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: should be

XO_O`Dunn says:
::sighs::

CNS_Luchena says:
SO:  You'll be alright.

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: See if you can get a lock on them.

CMO_Shiar says:
::beams to sickbay::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::pain begins to kinda ease off:: CNS: Oh my.......

CNS_Luchena says:
::moves back toward the FCO and puts a hand on his shoulder to steady him::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::as his blood pressure builds he begins to hear the "thump" in his ears::

SO_Toms says:
::tries to curl into a fetal ball::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Trying now ::attempts to get a transporter lock on the intruders::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  What's happening?

Host Dket says:
::reappears in Main Engineering and fires her weapon at the warp core::

Gilthanas says:
::As they arrive, she assists the SO to a biobed::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: They were masked from sensors. And whatever they attacked the Toms with appears to have been masked also.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
All:: The Warp Core.......

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
All:: Sustenance.....

Host Dket says:
ACTION: Power fluctuations throughout the ship cause the lights to flicker.

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: what do you think?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::tries to direct his attention to the Science Console to remain calm continuing a ship wide scan::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Shut down the warp core!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Weapons fire in Engineering!

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Where's security?

Gilthanas says:
::Hands the CMO a hypo with a painkiller in it.::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CEO*: Power down the core...........

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  On their way, Commander.

SO_Toms says:
::loses consciousness.......::

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  It is a hole doctor.  You should have no problem repairing the damage... now.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::diverts link to CNS:: ~~~CNS: It's a form of power or sustenance for them.... ~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
<security team>::rushes into ME::

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Tell them to get "on their way" faster.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: administers hypo to SO::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  They're there now, Sir.

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The core powers down and the Shadows take form.  They are silver/blue in color and humanoid.  They stop trying to run away, surrounded by several angry engineers and Security Teams.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets out med kit and starts working on fixing the hole::

CNS_Luchena says:
<security team>::looks angry::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::tries to compensate sensors for a hypothetical life form that would live on warp power::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::waits to hear something from engineering::

Host Dket says:
::steps forward::

CNS_Luchena says:
<security team>::attempts to take the aliens into custody::

Gilthanas says:
::Hands the CMO a dermal regenerator::

CNS_Luchena says:
<TO_Thompson>*CO*:  We have two aliens in custody.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: uses dermal regenerator::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::releases link and drops to the deck, semi-conscious::

Host Dket says:
::allows the Security Teams to lead them out, powerless to do anything::

Gilthanas says:
::Watches as the hole slowly closes::

SO_Toms says:
::completely out to it::

CNS_Luchena says:
::bends down and gently shakes the FCO::  FCO:  Are you all right?

CMO_Shiar says:
::finishes up and administers a stimulant::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::comes to and rises, hearing a beeping from the Helm:: CNS: Yeah..... ::gets up and walks over to helm::

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The SO's shoulder is repaired, but he has no feeling throughout his arm.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::diverts emergency power to critical systems::

Host CO_Zax says:
*TO*: Secure them in the brig.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::feels the warmth of his face as the pressure builds::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks at scanners in a slight daze:: CO: Proximity Alert. Starboard Side! 1500 Meters!

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  Would you like some cordrazine for him?

SO_Toms says:
::slowly comes to....:: All: What happened?? ::can’t feel arm:: Why can’t I feel my arm???

CNS_Luchena says:
<security team>::takes the aliens down to the brig::

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: why not?

Host CO_Zax says:
All: Red alert!

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::initiates Red Alert::

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  No longer needed, he has awoken on his own.  I will leave him with you.

CNS_Luchena says:
::takes a science console::

CMO_Shiar says:
SO: don't worry, we have it under control

XO_O`Dunn says:
::doesn't remember being out of red alert for several weeks, it seems::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Take the CNS down and interview our guests.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::begins scanning the Starboard side in order to remain calm::

Gilthanas says:
::walks away, to stop herself from doing what she was forbidden.::

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The aliens are tucked away in the brig without so much as raising a fist.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: scans SO's arm::

CNS_Luchena says:
::attempts to scan whatever is out there::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::completes further scan:: CO: It's the Ion Storm Captain. Evasives are not going to do us much good.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sighs and gives up::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  An Ion Storm is chasing us?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::scans for temporal signatures in the storm::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::blinking rapidly trying to regain composure::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: All: Brace for impact.

CNS_Luchena says:
::braces himself against the TL doors::

SO_Toms says:
::confused:: CMO: What happened sir??? Last I remember I was running diagnostics on the ships sensor systems, now I’m here.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hangs onto her console ready for the impact::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: No Captain ::reading scans:: It appears stationary at the moment,.....

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::grabs securely onto the console::

CMO_Shiar says:
SO: you were shot by an unknown weapon

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: CNS: Come on... ::heads for the lift::

Host CO_Zax says:
::raises a brow but says nothing::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts working on returning the feeling to the arm::

Host Dket says:
ACTION: Absolutely nothing happens.

CNS_Luchena says:
::as the lift doors open stands back to allow O'Dunn to pass::

SO_Toms says:
::surprised:: CMO: Really? Who shot me??

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Reading a mass INSIDE the cloud. ::looks over to OPS:: OPS: What do you make of that?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::continues to scan to Ion Storm trying to figure out what just happened... or "didn't" happen::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::scans the "mass" in the cloud::

Host CO_Zax says:
All: Find out what's in there.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::rides the lift down, waiting for the ship to explode, or a green beam to zap them into another dimension, or something::

CMO_Shiar says:
SO: we aren't sure

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at Kerina::  XO:  Commander.

CNS_Luchena says:
::can't stop himself from smiling::

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  Perhaps Cortical analeptic?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods back:: CNS: Counselor.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::continuing scan:: CO: I'm not sure Captain... But I think that it's the alien vessel...

CMO_Shiar says:
::stimulates nerves in arm::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::exits the lift, CNS in tow, and heading for the brig::

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: give it a try.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: Captain?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Whatever it is, it's at a dead stop inside the storm.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans the area:: FCO:  There's definitely something solid in there.  It could be a ship, I don't know.  Readings show this is the exact same Ion storm that set of the perimeter alarm.

CNS_Luchena says:
::follows the XO gratefully::

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: Yes, Commander?

SO_Toms says:
::just sits there, trying to get his head around what happened::

Gilthanas says:
SO:  If you will lean roll over to your side briefly....

Host CO_Zax says:
All: Can you get an identity?

SO_Toms says:
::rolls, not really hearing, lost somewhere else::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: As near as I can tell from these readings... we appear to have been sitting in the same spot for the last 27 hours and the manufactured Ion Storm is hiding an alien ship

Gilthanas says:
::Injects the medication at the base of his skull::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the brig, looking for the cell with the highest-powered field::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::scans the ship trying to get some sort of identity::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: And the signature of the storm matches exactly that of both the Shadow images and the probe from before

Gilthanas says:
SO:  It is used to reinvigorate the tissues within the cerebral cortex... it may or may not work.

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The SO flinches as the injection takes hold, but feeling begins returning to the arm.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::scanning for possible transceiver signals::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sees some silvery/blue humanoids in a cell::

CNS_Luchena says:
::walks toward them::

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes her head:: CIV: So, the trip to the future was a holoprogram?

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: good job

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::as his attention is diverted from the stress to his duty his blood pressure begins to return to normal::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: I believe we should stay on this side of the screen.

Host Dket says:
::a thousand voices in unison::  ~~~ CNS:  Are you their leader?~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Good thinking.

Gilthanas says:
::Smiles::  CMO:  It was your own medications doctor.

XO_O`Dunn says:
TO: Where are their weapons?

SO_Toms says:
::starts feeling his arm, which brings him back...:: Gilthanas: Wha... ah thank you ma'am.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
FCO:  You having any luck getting an identity on that thing?

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: true, but good job anyway

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: I think it may indeed have been some sort of test to see how we react as a species.  Perhaps for a future plan for concurring us.  They would understand how we make decisions better and conduct a war

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~Dket:  No I am not.  But this woman is one of them. ~~~  ::gestures toward O'Dunn::

CMO_Shiar says:
SO: you may go

Gilthanas says:
::Blushes at the tribute::  SO/CMO:  Thank you both.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I have telepathic contact.

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods::

Host CO_Zax says:
OPS: Attempt to hail.

Host Dket says:
::nods::   ~~~ CNS: Why do you kill us?~~~

XO_O`Dunn says:
::forgets the TO for a moment and turns around:: CNS: Oh? They have anything interesting to say?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::tapping madly on panel:: OPS: I'm scanning for transceiver signals... Not getting much over here. ::head begins to hurt as he starts to hear some of the voices again::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::continues to scan the alien vessel trying to gleam more information::

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~DKet:  How are we killing you?  I'm sure its unintentional.~~~

SO_Toms says:
::nods to the CMO, gets up and begins to head out, unsteady on his feet::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::hails the ship but gets no response:: CO:  No response, Captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  They think we are trying to kill them.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts putting things away::

Host Dket says:
::waves her silvery arms up and down, frowning at her appearance::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: The feeling's mutual.

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles::

Gilthanas says:
::Helps with the cleanup::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::feeling kinda whoosie, and still scanning through the cloud as best he can:: ~~~CNS: The Warp Core Mikal! They feed off it!~~~

XO_O`Dunn says:
::does not smile::

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~FCO:  Thank you for the information.~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
::taps her fingers impatiently as she waits for the XO to report in::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Ask them why they have invaded our ship and attacked our crew.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  They are feeding off the warp core, or trying to.

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  You are... distracted?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CSN: Wonderful...doesn't answer the question, though.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::not feeling good:: ~~~CNS: Yeah... sur...~~~ ::nods off at his station then raises head again::

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The male Shadow moves towards O'Dunn and reaches out toward her.  His hand stops just short of the force field.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::trying to remember his basic Science classes from the University of Grover's Mill wondering how he can dissipate an Ion Storm::

SO_Toms says:
::shambles along the corridor towards the bridge ::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow at it::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::takes a second to sever telepathic communication::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::thinks it would clear up the sensor scans a bit::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: So why were they on the bridge, attacking the crew?

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~Dket:  You seem to be after our warp core.  Is that why you attacked us?~~~

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::regains composure, then turns to face the captain:: CO: Orders Captain?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO:

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Maintain our position, please.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Still no response to hails, Captain.

SO_Toms says:
::arrives at bridge, still unsteady, heads over to science 2::

CNS_Luchena says:
::has an idle thought about whether his luggage has been found on the Pendragon::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::turns back:: CO: Aye....

Host CO_Zax says:
*XO*: Status report, please, Commander O'Dunn.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: Captain, my scans of the alien vessel seem to show it is completely abandoned.  Perhaps the two we hold in our cell are the only too occupants.  I believe I can shut down the ability to produce the Ion Storm from over there.  ::points at the cloud on the viewscreen::

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: what... not really.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I'm still waiting on an explanation from the alien.

Gilthanas says:
CMO:  Anything I might help with?

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns:: CIV: You want to board the vessel?

Host Dket says:
~~~ CNS: Attack?  No.  Do not understand.  You scared us.  We meant no harm.~~~

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: no

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: All we've gotten is that they're trying to feed on the warp core. Past that they aren't being very cooperative.

Gilthanas says:
::Nods and turns to put away the equipment::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CIV/CO:  Is that a good idea?  We couldn't read those aliens when they were on the bridge.  There could be thousands of them over there for all we know.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: I am also reading unusual technology from over there that by charter of Starfleet, we are commissioned to investigate

Host CO_Zax says:
::eyes the CIV for a moment:: *XO*: Ask them if they can remotely shut down the Ion field.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  They didn't seem to mean any harm.  We frightened them apparently.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::thinks about asking to be allowed to scoot out to sickbay for a short once over, but then hears the CIVs banter about a boarding party::

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods at the OPS comment:: OPS: Perhaps, but if you wanted to play it safe, Starfleet is not the place to be.  Risk is part of our job

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: You heard her, counselor. ::smiles::

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: Let's see what we can do before we risk your life.

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~D'ket:  We'd like to shut down your ion field.  Will you tell us how?~~~

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits in office and stares at signed puck::

Host Dket says:
~~~ CNS: Everything is what it is.~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::Scans the ship again to make sure there is no life onboard::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: Captain, we are commissioned by Starfleet to investigate ALL unknowns of this Galaxy

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I don't think they're going to give us any information, Commander.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CO: That includes alien vessels with different forms of technology.  It is our duty Captain.

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: I agree, Commander. Within reason.

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: They aren't willing to cooperate, captain.

Host CO_Zax says:
::sighs::

Gilthanas says:
::Slips into the doctors office and puts a padd before him.::  CMO: Here is the updated report.

CNS_Luchena says:
~~~D'ket:  These are good people.  If you cooperate they'll likely release you unharmed.~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
CIV: Send another probe in...see what happens to it.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, scans seem to confirm that the ship is, indeed, empty.

SO_Toms says:
::still cant get bearings properly:: CO: Ma'am, requesting permission to leave the bridge, I don’t feel capable of doing my duty ably..

CMO_Shiar says:
Gilthanas: thank you ::starts to read::

Host Dket says:
ACTION: The CNS feels a powerful telepathic link and begins seeing images that are years beyond SF technology.  The CNS can feel a photographic memory being implanted, but cannot describe exactly what he sees.  He just knows.

Host CO_Zax says:
SO: Permission granted, Ensign. Go to your quarters and get some rest.

CNS_Luchena says:
::relaxes and allows the information to penetrate his mind::

Gilthanas says:
::Nods and leaves the room, and begins to prepare to leave the ship.::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::tries to determine how to launch a probe then does so hoping he did the sequence correctly::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::watches the silent exchange with interest::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: decides to prepare biobeds just in case::

SO_Toms says:
CO: Thank you ma'am. ::leaves bridge, heading towards his quarters::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  It's amazing......

CMO_Shiar says:
::decides to head to the bridge::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: What is it?

Gilthanas says:
::Quietly slips from sickbay::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: exits sickbay assuming Gilthanas is there::

Host Dket says:
SUMMARY: The CNS is able to describe what everything does, but as soon as he does, the memory fades.

Host Dket says:
The initial probe caused a hypnosis that allowed them to board and drug the crew.

Host Dket says:
The Alcott sat still for 27 hours and never moved forward or backward in time.

Host Dket says:
You will notice the COMM system has been removed and approximately 15% of the anti-matter was transported to the vessel, which can be recovered.

Host Dket says:
Unfortunately, the drug wore off before they could get out, thus you awoke and cornered them.

Host Dket says:
They fed off the warp core, but once it was removed as a power source, they were vulnerable.

Host Dket says:
They are now headed back to Earth to be put into little jars of clear fluid after being properly dissected.

Host Dket says:
