Guest starring:
Gilles as EO_Thomas & The Servant & Evil Fairy

Host Gilthanas says:
Synopsis:  During a small party for Captain Zax, Admiral Harlan presents to her the coveted Starfleet Distinguished Service Medal along with a short presentation from her crew of their appreciation of her. The crew is currently enjoying the last of their remaining time at the party or elsewhere throughout the ship and station.

Host Gilthanas says:
However, not all are quite so lucky.  There seems to be a malfunction on one of the ships holorooms.  The CEO and OPS in checking out what is going on have vanished.  The computer claims there is no program running and they are no longer on the ship.

Host Gilthanas says:

CTO_Rofax says:
::slaps commbadge::  *Bridge*  This is LtCmdr Rofax, come in please.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Captain... Perhaps Yellow Alert is in order until we can assess what's going on?

SO_Toms says:
::in cabin resting, thinking bout the ship, and the different feel::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::walking through the Starbase back to the Pendragon after informing the Counsellor of "The Conversation" with Rofax::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::lightly shakes her head, pushing the childhood memory away::

CNS_Luchena says:

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::turns to face the Captain::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits at bar with drink in hand::

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods at the FCO and wonders where her CEO is::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::walks through the access port to the ship::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::turns back to face the helm console and activates Yellow Alert::

CNS_Luchena says:
::finishes playing and slowly opens his eyes and looks up::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Notify the CTO of the disappearances.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: looks around as Yellow Alert starts and gets up::

CTO_Rofax says:
::tries to access the manual release::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::suddenly stands up very straight as the yellow alert sounds::

Queen_Amelia says:
::sits in the throne room waiting for the King to join her::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::heads for Sickbay to discuss MO Gilthanas' scans of his lungs with the CMO::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO_Zax: Aye Ma'am... ::Taps comm open:: *CTO* Commander Rofax... We hear you.... Be advised that we have lost the bio signs of The Chief Engineer and Operations Officers....

CMO_Shiar says:
:: finishes drink and heads to sickbay::

SO_Toms says:
::sits up at the yellow alert:: Self: Crap. ::gets up heads towards bridge::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::straightens her tunic a bit with a sigh:: CNS: Maybe next time, counselor... ::dashes off toward the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches her go with regret::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::moves over from the helm over to OPS, relieving the relief officer::

Host Gilthanas says:
Scenery: The throne room is simple but graceful.  Around are various people, but they are quiet as they simple watch and sympathize.   The Queen is a woman of indeterminate years as beauty still graces her.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: enters TL:: TL: sickbay

CTO_Rofax says:
*FCO* Understood.  I am outside of the Holodeck now.  Are we sure power's been cut, the doors are locked and the power input appears to be fused?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the lift:: TL: Bridge.

CNS_Luchena says:
::with a sigh stands and gets up::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets off the TL and walks to sickbay::

Queen_Amelia says:
::moves to the servant:: Servant:  Any news?  Have you found her yet?

The_Servant says:
::enters the throne room:: Amelia: We are searching M'lady

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::verifies scans:: *CTO* Stand by....

CMO_Shiar says:
DR Nick: what's going on?

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits at the bar and watches the holographic bartender::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::stops outside sickbay doors and lets out a sigh before entering::

Queen_Amelia says:
::sobs::

CMO_Shiar says:
<DR Nick> CMO: I don't know

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::reading scan output:: *CTO* Power has been cut by Engineering, but there is an auxiliary feed going to the Holodeck. Source is unknown at this time...

XO_O`Dunn says:
::exits the lift, looking around to see what's going on::

The_Servant says:
Amelia: I am certain it is only a matter of time M'Lady

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what is happening::

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: what can I do for ya?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::taping in commands to the internal EPS scanners::

King_Napoleon says:
::Enters the Room::

SO_Toms says:
::arrives at the bridge, heads over to science 2, logs in, runs diagnostics on science systems::

CTO_Rofax says:
*FCO* Understood.     *CO* Captain, permission to cut a 'hole in the wall,' so to speak?

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: Where is the engineering team?

CNS_Luchena says:
::closes his eyes and listens with all his other senses::

Queen_Amelia says:
::moves over to the King::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: What's going on, captain?

CTO_Rofax says:
*CO* Unknown Captain.  I am not sure if anyone from Engineering has officially returned from the SB as of this time.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Hello Doc.  Well we were on the Alcott, I went to have my routine monthly check-up when Doctor Gilthanas discovered something in my lungs she felt you should have a better look at when we return to the Pendragon.  ::raises arms out to his sides:: Guess what?  We're back.  ::smiles::

King_Napoleon says:
::Glances over to the servant, then to Amelia:: Amelia: My dear any word?

Queen_Amelia says:
::turns to the servant, practically yelling at him:: Servant: What are you waiting for?  Get out there and find her!

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks over the scans then looks over to the Captain:: CO: Captain, It appears that power is being in trickled in from multiple points through out the ship. Perhaps if we evacuate the deck and sever all EPS conduits to the entire deck.... ::looks with a look of questioning::

The_Servant says:
::nods:: Amelia: At once M'Lady... ::runs out::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Commander, it seems that we have a powered up holodeck... with a program running. The only problem is, the power was cut from the room, and no program should be running.

Queen_Amelia says:
Napoleon:  Nothing, my husband.

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: so we are. take a seat there and we will begin probing... I mean scanning.

SO_Toms says:
:: notices everything is in order, just a few things in need of a mild adjustment, proceeds to adjust::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::takes a seat at the noted bio-bed::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CO: Well, that's different.

The_Servant says:
:;consults with the other servants and searches more::

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Sounds like something we may want to consider shortly.

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Any ideas?

Queen_Amelia says:
::sobs:: Napoleon:  Where can she be?

King_Napoleon says:
::Sighs:: Amelia: Where has she gone?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: takes out medical tricorder and starts scanning::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Power has to be coming from somewhere...it must be rerouted from some other system.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::nods to the Captain and keys the proper EPS shutdown sequence into the OPS console::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks puzzled::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: So Doctor... how is sickbay today?

CNS_Luchena says:
::orders a coffee::

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: hmmm... oh, quiet.

Queen_Amelia says:
Napoleon:  What can we do?

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: lie down please

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts deeper scans::

The_Servant says:
::searches the countryside and asks about her::

CNS_Luchena says:
::takes his coffee back to the piano, along with a coaster, of course::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::nods::  CMO: Until the next time something explodes ::smiles then lies down::

SO_Toms says:
::after having adjusted the sensor systems, pays more attention to what the bridge staff are saying::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks over to the XO:: XO: Might I suggest that we have remaining key personnel report to the bridge Commander?

King_Napoleon says:
::Takes Amelia's Hand:: Amelia: You must not worry everyone and anyone is out there looking for her.

CNS_Luchena says:
::as he sits down he senses a great sadness from somewhere::

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: I guess you're right. I have some good news and some bad news.

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Bad news first

Queen_Amelia says:
::looks at him:: Napoleon:  How can I not worry.  She is my daughter!

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Have them all in one place, eh? Not the worst idea I've heard.... ::glances at the CO for her opinion::

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: the bad news is that I’ve found a growth...

CNS_Luchena says:
::setting his coffee down, on the coaster of course, tries to pinpoint the source of the sadness::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: A growth?

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: Clear that deck, have all personnel from the holodeck report to the bridge.

CTO_Rofax says:
*CO* Understood Captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
::is unable to determine where the feeling of great sadness is coming from::

The_Servant says:
::rushes back in the room panting::

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: yes, had it been found sooner, it could have been malignant, as it is, it is nothing much to remove.

Queen_Amelia says:
::sees the servant:: Servant:  You have news?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: When the deck is cleared try cutting off the EPS to the entire deck as planned.

The_Servant says:
King/Queen: Your highnesses... ::pants.. pants... ::  Your Highnesses...

King_Napoleon says:
::Glances at the Servant:: Servant: You better have good news!

CNS_Luchena says:
::gets up and leaves the Crystal Cave, trying to follow it to its source::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::sits up::  CMO: Well thank you doctor.  If that is all.  ::Gets off the bio-bed::

The_Servant says:
::hands the note to the King:

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::nods to the Captain and prepares the shutdown sequence::

Host Gilthanas says:
ACTION:  Throughout the ship, any who are empathic, sense a great sadness.

The_Servant says:
::pants more::

Queen_Amelia says:
::looks at the King as he reads:: Napoleon:  What does it say?  Is it her?

CNS_Luchena says:
::steps into the TL::  TL:  Deck six.

SO_Toms says:
::shakes head, a strange feeling, something he’s not sure of, comes over him::

CNS_Luchena says:
::realizes he left his coffee in the Cave::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::suddenly becomes overcome with sadness::

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: it'll be a minor operation, come see me... then :: points to a date on planner::

King_Napoleon says:
::Looks at the note, trembling, crumbling it up and throws it at the servant:: Servant: I don't care FIND HER!

The_Servant says:
::cringes::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::notices a subtle change in behavior in some of the bridge crew::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
CMO: Thank you doctor but that won't be necessary.  ::leaves sickbay::

The_Servant says:
::rushes out of the room::

Queen_Amelia says:
::gets an overwhelming feeling of dread:: Napoleon:  What is it?  Tell me!

CTO_Rofax says:
COMM: ALL: Pen/SB78:  Attention Crew of the USS Pendragon, this is LtCmdr Rofax.  All Senior Staff please report to the bridge.  Engineering Personnel report to ME and hot standby.  All remaining personnel should remain aboard the SB at this time.  Rofax out.

CNS_Luchena says:
::leaves the TL and proceeds toward the holodeck::

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: strange

CNS_Luchena says:
::stops and listens to the COMM::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks over scans while wiping a tear from face, and sniffles::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::straightens uniform as he walks down the corridor::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Ensign?

King_Napoleon says:
Amelia: It said, "The girl will never go home"... ::Sighs::

Host CO_Zax says:
::wonders why the FCO is snuffling::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: leaves sickbay and enters TL:: TL: Bridge

CTO_Rofax says:
::scans the deck with a Level 1 Personnel sweep and readies to leave for the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns around and heads back to the TL::

Queen_Amelia says:
Self:  Oh no!  ::nearly faints::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
XO/CO:: I sense deep sadness.... ::another tear rolls down face::

CNS_Luchena says:
::waiting for the TL::

CNS_Luchena says:
::hums::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::hearing the Comm he starts heading for the Starbase access::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: From what?

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: Sadness? From where?

CNS_Luchena says:
::taps his foot impatiently::

King_Napoleon says:
::Catches Amelia:: Amelia: My dear... ::Yells for a servant::

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::notes the sadness and tries to lock onto it:: ~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks down the corridor as he waits::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CNS*: Please report to the bridge, Counselor.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: watches door open then steps onto the bridge::

CNS_Luchena says:
::realizes the feeling of sadness is definitely coming from the holodeck::

CNS_Luchena says:
::steps into the TL::  *CO*:  On my way.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::tries to pull self together:: CO/XO: It's definitely centered around the holodeck...

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.

Queen_Amelia says:
::begins to come around::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::doesn't like the sound of that::

CNS_Luchena says:
::steps out onto the bridge::

Host Aurora says:
::Appears suddenly in the back of the thrown room.::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CO/XO:: The Deck is clear. Cutting power....

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Did you need me for something Sir?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::shuts down all EPS conduits on the affected deck::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: approaches CO:: CO: I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate you sir :: extends hand:: what seems to be the problem?

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
::enters Starbase 78 through the access way he came from::

King_Napoleon says:
::Looks worried:: Amelia: You..... ::Looks up::

CTO_Rofax says:
::confirms the deck is empty and enters the TL::   CPU: Computer, Bridge.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::waits for some results::

Host CO_Zax says:
::shakes his hand:: CMO: Thank you, Sir.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  What is going on?

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::begins to isolate the sadness to the Holodeck:: ~~~

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
@::heads for the nearest restaurant::

Queen_Amelia says:
Napoleon:  I'm all right ::picks herself up and sees Aurora::

Host CO_Zax says:
CNS: Can you sense anything?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Empaths seem to be picking up "sadness" from the holodeck. You?

SO_Toms says:
::notices small fluctuations in the power supplies to science systems, well within tolerable limits, but noticeable::

Host Aurora says:
::Opens her arms without saying anything.::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods::  CO/XO:  An overwhelming sense of sadness from the holodeck.  Why?  What's happened?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: That's what we'd like to know.

Queen_Amelia says:
Aurora:  Aurora?  My daughter ... ::rushes over towards her::

CTO_Rofax says:
CPU: Stop.  Deck 5.

SO_Toms says:
::starts trying to pin down where the fluctuations are coming from by running focused diagnostics on different subsystems of the sensor arrays::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Is there something else wrong with the holodeck?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::begins to pull self together and shield himself off:: ::breaths deeply::

CNS_Luchena says:
::senses there is more to this than he knows::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Besides it running without any power, no.

Host Aurora says:
::Tries to move, but can't::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::checking scans to see if the EPS shut off on that deck had any effect on the Holodeck::

CTO_Rofax says:
::exits onto Deck 5 and retraces his way to be standing above the Holodeck::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Running without any power?  Who was in there?

Queen_Amelia says:
Aurora:  Aurora ... are you all right?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Another good question.

King_Napoleon says:
::Stands and walks towards Aurora::

CIV_LtCmdr_Lynch says:
@::arrives at a restaurant taking a seat looking at the menu::

Evil_Fairy says:
::pulls on Aurora::

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: why were we all called to the bridge?

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns::  CO:  Let me go in there.  I can keep in telepathic contact with DeRidder.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CMO: To keep track of our rapidly vanishing senior staff.

Queen_Amelia says:
Fairy:  Who are you?  Why have you done this?

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  As the power is cut, the holoprogram dissipates leaving behind OPS, CEO and EO Thomas.

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::begins walking over what is effectively the Holodeck and tries to isolate the sadness again:: ~~~

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: ok

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::rereads scans:: XO/CO: I show null power for the Holodeck....

CNS_Luchena says:
::feels confused::

EO_Thomas says:
::blinks::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks around her wondering what is going on::

EO_Thomas says:
::looks around from side to side::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Finally.

Host CO_Zax says:
FCO: The holoprogram?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
EO/CEO:  You two OK?

CNS_Luchena says:
::can't clear his head for some reason::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::scans for life signs:: CO: The Holodeck appears to be completely offline.

SO_Toms says:
::systems power runs back to near normal, without any information on what was causing the fluctuations::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I can still sense the sadness.

EO_Thomas says:
::looks to Pettigrove:: OPS: Huh ?  I mean... fine Ma'am

CEO_Gange says:
::Looks around and touches his uniform:: OPS: Yeah, you?

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  The sense of sorrow grows.  The more sensitive find themselves in tears, but they don't know why.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wipes away a tear::

Host CO_Zax says:
::frowns::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Let me go down there.  Please.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: What?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  I seem to be OK.

CTO_Rofax says:
::finds the nearest panel and feels a tear trickle from his left eye::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looses it again and begins to break down a little bit::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  With the power off, the sense of sadness is growing.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Very confused, though.  What just happened to us?

XO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Great.

EO_Thomas says:
::for some reason grabs down and thinks he is wearing a tutu and shakes head::

SO_Toms says:
::the strange feeling that he had before is, stronger??::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks back to the CO, XO, and CNS:: All: It's growing.... ::eyes red and sobbing::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::is glad she isn't an empath::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Anyway to erect a nullification shield?  Something that will allow our telepaths to function?

CTO_Rofax says:
*CO* Captain, recommend power be restored to the Holodeck.  Something is wrong.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at the FCO::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Not that I'm aware of.

CEO_Gange says:
OPS: Have no idea.  But I have a strange feeling about this.

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at Kerina::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: takes out medical tricorder and scans FCO::

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Your opinion as to removing all telepaths from the ship?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  I too ... as if we have had a great loss of some sort ...

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::grabs head:: Self-out loud: It's not real.. It's NOT REAL DAMNIT....

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the CO startled::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: Please stand by.

CNS_Luchena says:
CMO:  You can block telepathy, right?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: There's no telling how far we'd have to move them...and it wouldn't solve the problem.

CEO_Gange says:
OPS: Me too...

CMO_Shiar says:
CNS: yes

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~CNS:: I can't block it Mikal... Help me... ~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  See if you can get us out of here.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CO: Maybe we should restore power...and send down the counselor.

CTO_Rofax says:
::runs to the nearest storage locker and finds a plasma torch::  Self: I gotta get in there.....

CNS_Luchena says:
::moves to where the FCO is sitting and places his hand on his shoulder::  FCO:  David.  It's all right.

CEO_Gange says:
OPS: Gladly. Computer: Exit

Host CO_Zax says:
XO: Okay then, Commander. Accompany the CNS and FCO to the holodeck. Find out what’s going on. At the first sign of trouble, have the CTO cut power.

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  Throughout the ship, power gathers, but it is unable to find a pathway back to the holosuite.  Various stations that cannot hold the building power begin to spark out.

CTO_Rofax says:
::ducks as the nearest panel explodes above him::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: CNS/FCO: Counselor, Ensign...let's go.

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: Restore power.

EO_Thomas says:
::hears the power whine:: All: I better get to work ::heads to port then remembers Engineering is the other way and quickly changes direction::

CTO_Rofax says:
*CO Aye Captain.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::gets up and follows close with the CNS, wiping face::

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods gratefully at the CO and follows O'Dunn::

SO_Toms says:
::power raises above normal, not dangerous, but it could get that way::

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Are you up to this?

EO_Thomas says:
::hits face on door:: Self: Ouch !!!

CTO_Rofax says:
::finds a working panel and restores power to the Holodeck::

CMO_Shiar says:
CO: shouldn't we beam our people out sir?

CEO_Gange says:
::Looks around and checks the panel:: Self: No Power. ::Goes to the manual override::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::enters the lift, waiting for the CNS and FCO::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::hocks back tears and sniffles:: CNS: Do I have a choice?

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  The surge of power hits the holosuite, activating it.

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Yes.  If you can't function, then don't come.  ::steps into the TL::

SO_Toms says:
XO: Ma'am, I’m picking OPS, CEO and EO on internal scanners

XO_O`Dunn says:
SO: Keep an eye on them.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::follows the CNS into the Turbolift:: CNS: Just stick close.....

Evil_Fairy says:
::looks at himself:: Self:Aaack !!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  Of course.

Queen_Amelia says:
::looks at the others:: All:  Where are we?  What is this?

CNS_Luchena says:
::despite the overwhelming sense of sadness, has enough left to realize how uncomfortable he is in a lift with O'Dunn and DeRidder::

SO_Toms says:
::as power comes back up, something else is on the scanners just for a second, and then it is gone:: XO aye ma'am.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: finds an empty chair on bridge and sits down::

Evil_Fairy says:
::floats around the room in shock:: Self: This is not real.. I am dreaming...

Host Aurora says:
::Looks at the CEO and OPS, her sorrow not quite as strong.::

King_Napoleon says:
All: You tell me.  ::Looks at the Fairy::

CTO_Rofax says:
*CO* Captain,  I am on Deck 5, in Section 31, Jefferies Tube 11.  I can access the Holodeck, but I will need to make a hole in the ceiling to get there.

XO_O`Dunn says:
TL: Deck 3.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::is so overwhelmed, he doesn't think about much else. Let's guard down for short duration of the ride in the lift to build up resistance::

Queen_Amelia says:
::looks at Aurora:  Aurora:  Who are you?  Why have you brought us here?

CTO_Rofax says:
::readies the plasma torch::

Host Aurora says:
::No sound comes, only the pleading eyes look into OPS.::

Host CO_Zax says:
*CTO*: Not yet, Commander, I want you to try to remain in contact with either DeRidder or Luchena. They are going in.

SO_Toms says:
::hunts the anomalous reading out from the sensor log, and tries to figure out what it is::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::takes a knee in the lift::

Evil_Fairy says:
::looks at Aurora and frowns::

CTO_Rofax says:
*CO* Understood Captain.  ::power down the plasma torch and feels pretty bummed about it::

King_Napoleon says:
::Looks at Aurora:: Aurora: Something wrong?

Queen_Amelia says:
::looks at Napoleon:: Napoleon:  See if you can contact the bridge.  Fairy:  Try to find the computer override so we can get out of here.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::exits the lift, heading for the holodeck::

Host Aurora says:
::Looks around the room, then back at the three before her imploringly::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::notes the XO and CNS exiting and raises mental guard back up, then stands up and walks out::

King_Napoleon says:
Amelia: Aye. ::Looks around the room::

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ CNS/FCO:  Lt. Luchena,  Ens. DeRidder, can you hear me? ~~~

Queen_Amelia says:
::approaches Aurora:: Aurora:  What is it?  ::reaches out her hand to touch her::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::steps up to the holodeck doors, wondering if they're going to open for her::

Evil_Fairy says:
::looks to the King and Queen... Ummm  CEO and OPS for guidance::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~CTO:: Yes Commander... but I'm having a hard time holding back some of this~~~

SO_Toms says:
::continues to hunt for information on the strange reading, while keeping an eye on the crew in the holodeck::

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ FCO: As am I.  I will try to remain in contact with you as long as possible.  Good luck. ~~~

King_Napoleon says:
::Scratches his head:: Computer: Arc?

XO_O`Dunn says:
COMPUTER: Open.

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  The doors slide open to reveal a medieval kingdom.

CNS_Luchena says:
::stares in amazement::

Queen_Amelia says:
::feels a shock and jumps back::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::raises an eyebrow, surprised that the command actually worked::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Kerina::

Host Aurora says:
::A shimmer, not unlike a tear, slides down her cheek::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks to the CNS with red eyes, but is maintaining composure amazingly enough::

Queen_Amelia says:
::turns to see the others:: XO:  Commander.  Over here.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::steps into the holodeck, looking around cautiously:: Amelia: Errr...do I know you?

King_Napoleon says:
::Looks over:: XO: Commander!

XO_O`Dunn says:
::is confused::

Queen_Amelia says:
XO:  It's Jordan, Commander.  Your operations officer.

CNS_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Sir, we have something odd going on down here.

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: That's interesting. What's going on?

Host CO_Zax says:
*CNS*: Clarify, please.

Evil_Fairy says:
::looks to all while floating around:: XO: Ummmm... EO Thomas... I do repairs... ::floats higher::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks up to see the Queen:: Amelia: Is that you Lieutenant? ::brightens up a little::

Queen_Amelia says:
XO:  I wish I knew, Sir.  ::points to Aurora:: XO:  All I know is that she is responsible for it.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes the EO:: EO: In Starfleet, we tend to walk about our tasks, not flit.

Queen_Amelia says:
FCO:  It's me, Ensign.

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::detects a very sad female on the Holodeck:: ~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
*CO*:  There is a program running and Pettigrove is part of it.

King_Napoleon says:
::Pulls Thomas down:: Fairy: Down, Ensign.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at Aurora:: OPS: Who is she?

SO_Toms says:
::starts to see a connection, very vague, between what he has seen here, and the supposed black holes he saw in the last mission::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: drums fingers on anything that can be drummed on::

Evil_Fairy says:
::nods:: Napoleon: Aye........... OUCH !!!!!!!!!!!  Sir....

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks over to Aurora and points:: CNS: It's her......

Host CO_Zax says:
*CNS*: A part in what way?

Queen_Amelia says:
XO:  I don't know.  But I got quite a shock when I touched her.

Host Aurora says:
::Her hands implore the group, but no sound comes from her.::

Queen_Amelia says:
XO:  It's as if she is made up of energy.

Evil_Fairy says:
::floats away from the quiet Aurora::

CNS_Luchena says:
*CO*: I'm not sure yet, Sir.  But the source of the sad feelings is also a character in this.  I'll report back when we know more.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::walks toward Aurora cautiously, stopping at the last statement:: CNS: Counselor, you detect anything?

King_Napoleon says:
XO: Did you bring a tricorder with you sir?

Host CO_Zax says:
*CNS*: Understood.

Host Aurora says:
::Turns to the counselor and starts to walk towards him, her hands outstretched.::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Not really, except that person, that character, is emitting the feelings.  Holograms don't have feelings.

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches Aurora approach::

SO_Toms says:
CO: Ma'am, I have some information from the holodeck that may or may not be of importance.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::looks at her side, where sure enough a tricorder rests:: CEO: Yes...never got out of the habit. ::starts scanning Aurora::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::watches as Aurora approaches and focuses on her::

Host Aurora says:
::Reaches her hands to the counselor, almost, but not quite touching her::

Queen_Amelia says:
::watches with concern::

CNS_Luchena says:
::reaches out his hands to Aurora::

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices the hair on his arms is standing up::

King_Napoleon says:
::Looks on as the counselor reaches over::

Host CO_Zax says:
::looks at the SO:: SO: Please continue then.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::moves in closer to the CNS::

Queen_Amelia says:
XO:  Should we really let the CNS do this?

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Once.

Host Aurora says:
::Takes the Counselors hands::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~CNS:: What are you doing? You don't know enough to make contact. You might be hurt... or killed~~~

XO_O`Dunn says:
*SO*: Run this scanner pattern through the computer...see if it matches anything. ::transmits the scanned patterns::

CNS_Luchena says:
::grasps Aurora's hands firmly::

CNS_Luchena says:
::becomes very still::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::eyes Mikal::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks on in astonishment:: CNS: Mikal? You ok?

Host Aurora says:
::Fades into the counselor::

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ ::tries to lock onto the sadness with a stronger link::  ~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
::remains very still::

SO_Toms says:
CO: Well ma'am, as the power came back on down there I was reading the OPS, CEO and EO, but for a split second there was something else in there. Now I haven't been able to find anything in the database that matched it, but I remembered something from our last mission, the black holes, and they seem similar somehow. That is about the best I can do

Queen_Amelia says:
::sees what is happening:: CNS:  Counsellor?

CNS_Luchena says:
::a tear rolls down his cheek::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~CTO:: Mikal has made direct contact~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
::his heart goes out to this young thing that has lost its mother::

SO_Toms says:
*XO*: Aye ma'am. ::starts running the scanner pattern through the computer to see if he can get a match::

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ FCO: Is everything okay?  ~~~

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to speak to describe what he is seeing, but can't for the moment::

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  After a moment, the counselor finds himself alone.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::still eyeing the counselor warily::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~ CTO: I don't know. I can't hear him anymore....~~~

Host CO_Zax says:
SO: It’s a good theory. Run it by the CTO.

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  All power to the holodeck ceases.  Everyone there finds themselves standing among the holosuites stripes.  Off towards the side is a glowing speck.

SO_Toms says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: hums a tune to self::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::tries to read the specification on the side::

EO_Thomas says:
::falls on the ground:: Self: Aaaack !!!

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks up and around::

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ CNS: Lt, can you hear me? ~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks around her::

CEO_Gagne says:
::Looks at Thomas:: EO: I think you should get checked up.

EO_Thomas says:
::shakes head:: Self: Come to Starfleet.... be turned into a fairy... THIS WAS NOT IN THE BROCHURE !!!

CNS_Luchena says:
::shakes his head and looks around the holodeck::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Mikal?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  It's lost.  It's looking for its home and its mother.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sinks to the floor as his knees give out::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::moves over to the CNS and places hand on the CNS's shoulder::

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Mother? What and where?

EO_Thomas says:
CEO: Ummmm... Yes Sir....  ::shakes head::   Permission to get out of the "Khesting" holodeck Sir?

CNS_Luchena says:
::speaks quietly in almost a whisper::  XO:  I don't know.

XO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns:: *SO*: Got anything on that pattern yet?

SO_Toms says:
CO: Ma'am. I’m picking up the energy again. It’s in the information the XO just sent me. It definitely matches the things that we thought were wormholes in the last mission.

SO_Toms says:
*XO*: Aye ma'am. I’m just working some things out up. Standby.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Smiles:: EO: Granted, Fairy...

Host CO_Zax says:
::nods:: SO: Your conclusions?

XO_O`Dunn says:
::waits impatiently for some real information::

EO_Thomas says:
::rolls eyes and runs out of the holodeck::

CTO_Rofax says:
::exits Deck 5, plasma torch still in hand and heads for the Holodeck::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::begins to feel some relief from the barrage of empathic waves:: ::wipes face on cuff of uniform::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: hears Voodoo Child in head and almost plays air guitar::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, with your permission, I'd like to return to my station.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
CNS_Luchena: Are you ok? Do need to be looked at by the Doctor?

CEO_Gagne says:
XO: I suggest we shut this holosystem down for a complete overhaul

CTO_Rofax says:
::approaches the Holodeck and is nearly run down by the passing EO::

XO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Take the EO and CEO with you by sickbay for an examination first.

SO_Toms says:
::frowns at what he sees:: CO: Ah, ma'am, it seems to be some kind of entity. I think we may have picked it up while we were out and about in the Typhon expanse.

CNS_Luchena says:
FCO:  I'm fine.  Just a little light headed.  ::picks himself up and leans against the holodeck wall for support::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods:: XO:  Yes, Sir.  EO/CEO:  Accompany me to Sickbay.

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  The shimmer of light dances from one of the empaths to the others, but does not stray far from the counselor.

Host CO_Zax says:
SO: So, can we return it home?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the light dancing around::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::walks over to Mikal:: CNS: Do you need to go to sickbay?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::gets up off the floor and stands with the CNS, then notices a shimmer of light::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
All:: Did Ya'll see that?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I'm okay.  Thank you Commander.  ::gives Kerina a weak smile::

SO_Toms says:
*XO*: Ma'am, the information you sent suggests that thing is some kind of entity that we picked up on our last mission.

CTO_Rofax says:
::aproaches O'Dunn::  <w>  XO: Cmdr, what happened in there?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::exits the Holodeck and motions for the CEO/EO to accompany her::

SO_Toms says:
CO: I believe so ma'am.

CEO_Gagne says:
OPS: Aye. ::Smiles::

XO_O`Dunn says:
*SO*: Understood. Explain to the captain, if you haven't already.

CNS_Luchena says:
::continues to watch the light::  FCO:  Yes.  It's right there.

SO_Toms says:
*XO*: Aye ma'am.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CTO: We have a visitor. ::gestures at the flickering light::

CMO_Shiar says:
CO: am I still needed here or can I go back to sickbay?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::follows the light with his eyes::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Ensign, are you all right?

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  Finally realizes Rofax has arrived.

CTO_Rofax says:
Self: For the love of the Prophets.....  ::wonders if the CNS will remain day glow and could save on their energy bill::

CEO_Gagne says:
::Skips up to OPS offers his hand::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::takes a deep breath:: XO: Yes Ma'am... I'm better. Still being bombarded with some deep waves of emotion, but it's no where near as intense

Host Aurora says:
::Moves to the FCO and after a second, slips into him::

Host CO_Zax says:
CMO: Dismissed,

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Are you alright?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::freezes mid sentence::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the light::  FCO:  Can you feel it?

CMO_Shiar says:
CO: thank you sir, and congratulations again :: leaves:: TL: sickbay

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO/CNS: What now?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::enters Sickbay and looks around for the Doctor::

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr Nick> OPS: may I help you?

CTO_Rofax says:
::watches the FCO light up::

Host CO_Zax says:
::smiles:: CMO:Thanks.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Could a tricorder detect that energy that was flitting around?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::says nothing... stands there with a slightly glazed look on face::

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  After a few minutes, the entity slips from the FCO's body.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Trips on the carpet at the door:: OPS: Nope... ::Wonders where Thomas is::

XO_O`Dunn says:
::nods:: CNS: It's still recording, why?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  What is it?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Dr Nick:  We've been ordered in for a check-up after our little adventure.

CMO_Shiar says:
<DR Nick> OPS: Dr. Shiar should be back soon

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: According to the SO, something we picked up in the Typhon expanse.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  It seems to have intelligence.  I think it's alive somehow.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::as the being leaves the FCOs body, he continues:: XO: ...I don't know what could have made these feelings so intense though....

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: That would seem to be the consensus...but what's it doing now?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Trying to communicate maybe?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: But didn't it already?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: exits TL and enters sickbay::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Not directly... just in images.

CMO_Shiar says:
ALL: hi everybody

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Doctor.

CMO_Shiar says:
<DR Nick> CMO: hi Dr Shiar... that doesn't seem right.

CEO_Gagne says:
CMO: Hello Doctor Ni...Shiar!

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Suggestions?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::realizes star patterns in his mind, and realizes that he was "occupied"::

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: hmm...  OPS: so, what's a good-looking woman like you doing in a place like this?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
All:: Star patterns......

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  We contain it safely somehow and continuing trying to communicate?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Following orders, Doctor.  Cmdr O'Dunn ordered us to report for a check-up.

CTO_Rofax says:
~~~ Aurora: Can you hear me? ~~~

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::recalls the image in his mind:: All: I know how to get it home again!

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: right

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: We don't happen to have a course laid in back to the Typhon Expanse, do we?

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO::

CEO_Gagne says:
CMO: Yup.

CMO_Shiar says:
ALL: well, if you'll all take a bio bed while I put on the cold gloves

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::finds the nearest biobed and sits::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: Do you recognize the patterns?

Host CO_Zax says:
*XO*: Not right now, why?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: picks up laser scalpel and approaches OPS::

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: Well, if that's where this creature comes from....

CEO_Gagne says:
::Plops on the biobed::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks curiously at Shiar:: CMO:  What is that for?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::looks to see the familiar patterns in the back of his mind:: XO: We were just there!!!

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: wrong tool :: takes out tricorder::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: The Typhon Expanse?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: I recommend that we immediately... Yeah! Set a course there!

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: I recommend we take it back there.

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  The entity moves back to the counselor and hovers near his shoulder.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: begins scans::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the light hover near him::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: If I remember correctly, it ought to be a solid day beyond the borders.... ::smiles even though he is still feeling some sadness from the being.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Your verdict, Doctor?

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: all's well

CNS_Luchena says:
::tries to communicate friendly intent and co-operation to the whatever it is::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Good ::gets down from the biobed::

CTO_Rofax says:
::listens to all this and simply shakes his head::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: scans CEO:: CEO: same for you

Host CO_Zax says:
*XO*: Agreed.

XO_O`Dunn says:
*CO*: I believe our...guest...will behave until then.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::heads out the door towards the bridge::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: pulls out 3 lollies:: ALL: who want a wowwy pop then?

CEO_Gagne says:
CMO: Thanks Doc. ::Gets off the bed and heads out::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches a subtle shift in colour::

CEO_Gagne says:
::Runs to the TL:: OPS: Um.. Jordan..

CNS_Luchena says:
::smiles::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Yes, Ensign?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::turns to face him::

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
~~~CNS:: I've never gotten to interact directly with another life form like that before!~~~

CMO_Shiar says:
CEO/OPS: goodbye to you too

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr Nick: some people...

CNS_Luchena says:
::grins at the FCO::

Host Aurora says:
ACTION:  As the entity settles, it fades to a light, calming blue.

CEO_Gagne says:
OPS: I was wondering if we could finish dinner.

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: So do you need anything while you're... ::snickers:: ...babysitting?

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
::watches as the light fades::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  A coffee would be nice.

CNS_Luchena says:
::grins at O'Dunn::

CTO_Rofax says:
::chuckles quietly and returns to the bridge::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Perhaps later.  I think we're going to be needed at our stations.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: Permission to hang around with the Counselor Commander?

XO_O`Dunn says:
CNS: Come on then. ::heads for the doors, knowing that the bridge is capably handling the course plot::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: You two are going by sickbay for a quick exam first.

CEO_Gagne says:
::Smiles:: OPS: Alright, I'll talk to you on the bridge.

FCO_Ens_DeRidder says:
XO_O`Dunn: Right... Of course....

CNS_Luchena says:
::follows O'Dunn::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::enters the bridge and takes her station::

XO_O`Dunn says:
FCO: After that...well, it seems to like the both of you for whatever reason.
