 Host XO_Rofax says:
The Pendragon is enroute to the Eronus Zeta sector to investigate a series of unexplained attacks.  It is unclear as to the nature of the attacks and our current ETA is two hours.

ENGINEERING:
Keep sensors and shields in top form, it unclear what we may encounter.  Double-check all EPS sub-routines and protocols.

Host XO_Rofax says:
TACTICAL:
Stay alert and establish targeting scans at the first sign of trouble.  I want a confirmed target prior to having the need to raise a Red Alert.

HELM:
Set course for the Eronus Zeta sector, warp five.

Host XO_Rofax says:
MEDICAL:
As we are headed into hostile territory, prepare for casualties from any attacked vessels we may encounter.

COUNSELING:
Counselor Simmons is in charge while Lt. Luchena attends to a conference on Risa.  Try not to trip over yourselves.

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPERATIONS:
Upon arrival, take us to yellow alert and monitor for any distress or unusual signals.

SCIENCE:
Assist the Tactical department as needed with sensors. Look for any potential natural causes of these "attacks."

Host J says:
OPS:  Honey.. who does your hair?

J:  Not you, that's for sure!

Host J says:
XO:  What exactly are you.  Some sort of mutt?

Host XO_Rofax says:
::wonders if the Security Teams have managed to squeeze in another coffee break::  OPS: Can we get a Security Team up here?

::eyes the CIV:: CIV: Mind your own station...oh, wait, you don't have one!

Host XO_Rofax says:
::frowns almost as perfectly as Zax::  J: Yes, a mutt.  What do you want?

Host J says:
XO:  It's amazing what Ullians will breed with.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks "uh oh" ... ::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::raises a brow at that::

CIV_Brock says:
::Hears the Ullian comment and snickers.::

Host J says:
XO:  I wanted to see what your Captain was made of.  But maybe you'll do.

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: The Captain?  Sugar and spice and everything nice I'm sure.....

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::buffs her nails again::

CIV_Brock says:
::Moves over to Science 2 and checks on a few things.::

CSO_Toms says:

Host J says:
OPS:  I want to know what your Executive Officer fears most of all.

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
<Security Hunk One> ::arrives on the bridge with 3 other big burly guys::

CSO_Toms says:
::looks down:: CIV: No.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
J:  And what would that be?

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: I feel like going to the bridge. Your turn to torture people for a while

Host J says:
OPS:  I think he's afraid of failure.  ::smiles::

CIV_Brock says:
::Raises an eyebrow and looks for something to do.::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
<Security Hunk One> XO: Reporting as ordered, Sir! What's the problem?

CMO_Shiar says:
<Dr. Nick> CMO: oh good, time to test out my latest toys  :: grins evilly::

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Please tell me you are recording this or at least transmitting it to SFC...

Host J says:
OPS:  I think he's managed to lose everyone he's ever cared for.

CMO_Shiar says:
Dr. Nick: c ya later  :: heads out of sickbay and into a tl::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Oh yeah I'm recording everything that's happening ...

Host J says:
ACTION:  A Borg cube suddenly appears on the main viewscreen.  It emits a tractor beam that locks onto the Pendragon.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::points to J::  Sec_Team:  That....

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
<Security Hunk One> ::isn't too bright::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
<Security Hunk One> XO: er.......what?

Host J says:
ACTION:  The ship comes to a full stop

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::drops her buffer::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::attempts to rotate shield frequencies::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
XO: Borg, Sir!

CMO_Shiar says:
TL: bridge

Host XO_Rofax says:
All:  Yes, yes, yes.... let's raise shields and slowly be assimilated.

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Yep, I believe he is...Just great...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir?

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
XO: Permission to get us out of here, sir?

Host XO_Rofax says:
All: Red Alert.  Battle stations!

Host J says:
ACTION:  The Borg cube powers weapons.

Host XO_Rofax says:
XO: You may certainly try....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::initiates Red Alert::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: hums along with the elevator music::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::thinks the XO may be talking to her::

Host XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Lock all weapons.  Fire full spread!

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::attempts to throw the ship into full reverse in an effort to break the hold::

Host J says:
ACTION: Hull integrity drops to 80%

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Shield harmonics ineffective.  Hull integrity now at 80%.

CSO_Toms says:
::stands calmly at science 2... watching everything happen::

TO_McPeters says:
::Fires phasers, and loads torpedoes::

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: If you refuse to help, at least go get me a fresh coffee.  ::frowns::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The cube's shields hold.  No damage.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps off the TL and onto the bridge:: XO: not them again...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Re-routing power to structural integrity and inertial dampeners::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::doesn't think she'll look at all good with Borg implants::

Host XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Very well.... go to warp 9.9

TO_McPeters says:
::Fires torpedoes, and prepares for another round::

CSO_Toms says:
::thinks Borg implants would go well with her other.. ah... implants::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
XO: Are you cra....er...yes, Sir. Which direction?

Host XO_Rofax says:
FCO: Through them.

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::wonders why Toms has been looking at her implants::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  What!?!?!?

Host J says:
COMM:  Pendragon:  We are the Borg.  You will be assimilated.  Resistance is futile.

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::shrugs::

Host XO_Rofax says:
TAC: Make a hole in that thing.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to cut the comm::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The Borg cube fires a spread of torpedoes

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:

OPS_Pettigrove says:
ALL:  Hang on!

CIV_Brock says:
::Is stunned at what is going on, he cannot believe it.::

Host J says:
ACTION:  Hull integrity drops as the torpedoes take down the shields.

TO_McPeters says:
XO: I’m trying sir... doesn't seem to be working tho.. ::Fires next round of torpedoes, and continues to fire phasers::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::wishes he would make his mind and wonders how she is supposed to evade while locked into a tractor beam but tries anyway::

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: that was original  :: comment full of sarcasm::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::grabs his chair as they rock::

Host XO_Rofax says:
CMO: Perhaps, you'll be able to surgically remove them from our path....

Host J says:
ACTION:  Engineering reports hull breaches on decks 12-14

CIV_Brock says:
::Starts staring at J.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Shields are down ... hull integrity falling.

Host J says:
ACTION:  The Borg cube fires another spread of torpedoes.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  They're firing again!

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: What is it you want?  Obviously fighting like this isn't the answer...

CIV_Brock says:
::Holds on to a console as the ship rocks.::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::attempts to maneuver::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The Pendragon explodes

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::then again, it was too late::

CSO_Toms says:
::explodes::
 
TO_McPeters says:
Self: uh no...torpedoes maybe not such a good idea...

Host J says:
ACTION:  In a blinding flash of light everything and everyone on the bridge is back to normal... whatever that may be.

Host J says:
XO:  Nice work.  You killed everybody.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks around::

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::grabs her mirror to check for blemishes::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Great...A “Q”, that settles it...

Host XO_Rofax says:
::finds himself sipping cold coffee::  J; Apparently not.... you're still here.

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::thinks the CIV is going to get himself killed::

TO_McPeters says:
::Scratches her head, wondering what she could have done differently::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: looks at J:: J: sorry if you've already said but... who are you?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks about what the J told her earlier ... this has gotta be a test::

Host J says:
XO:  Do you know who I am?

CSO_Toms says:
::continues looking at science 1::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::has a wild theory ...::

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: You want a toy to play with?  I hear Cardassia is looking for a good time.  ::sips his coffee anyway::  And yes, I am perfectly aware of what you are....

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks that he's the one only one that knows what's going on here.::

Host J says:
XO:  This is not a game Commander.  This is for real.

Host J says:
::looks at the FCO::

Host XO_Rofax says:
FCO: We have work to do.  Resume course.

Host J says:
ACTION:  The FCO drops dead.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at J:: J:  Hasn't the Continuum had enough fun?

Host FCO_Tinkerbelle says:
::falls gracefully and beautifully to the ground::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: rushes to the FCO's side and tries to help::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees the FCO fall and rushes to her::

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Now why did you do that?

Host J says:
OPS:  The J continuum is a splinter group of the Q

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO:  Is she dead?

CIV_Brock says:
::Watches the FCO hit the floor, and he shrugs.::

Host J says:
XO:  Because you don't seem to be taking me seriously.  You think this is a game?

TO_McPeters says:
::Backs up and watches as they work in the FCO::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: looks and Jordan and sadly nods::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
J:  A splinter group?  The continuum kicked you out?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  She's dead, Sir.

Host J says:
OPS:  Kicked us out?  Hah!!

Host XO_Rofax says:
::sits in the chair::  J: It is for you.  There is absolutely nothing we can do to stop you.  You don't play by any sort of established rules.  It's all chaos.

Host J says:
ACTION:  In yet another blinding flash of light the crew appears in a dark area.  As their eyes adjust they see the only light in the room coming from the floor.  They are standing in a marked square with "Start" written in large letters.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Self:  Now what?

CIV_Brock says:
Self: What the hell!?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tries to revive the FCO::

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS: If we get back.  Get me her family’s information.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: S-T-A-R-T... Start....

Host J says:
ACTION:  As the camera pans back dramatically, we see they are standing as tokens on a game board.  In the center is a pile of cards and an enormous pair of dice.

CIV_Brock says:
Self: That's not good...

TO_McPeters says:
Self: uh oh...

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::as he appears with the group, he wonders just why he chose that moment to arrive on the bridge.::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::wishes Mikal were here with his pointy stick::

CSO_Toms says:
Self: Hmmm, fun

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Some sort of game?

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Now... you tell me this isn't a game......

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::figures the way his day is going that he'll role snake eyes::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets up::

Host J says:
::voice comes out of the darkness::  XO:  This seemed the best way for your simple mind to grasp the situation.

CIV_Brock says:
::Remembers this board from somewhere...::

Host XO_Rofax says:
OPS: Isn't everything they do a game of some sort.  Unlimited power... unlimited boredom....

Host J says:
XO:  You’re the leader.  You go first.

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: No.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Indeed.  But why us?

Host J says:
ACTION:  The dice rise then drop back on the board, bouncing a few times before coming to rest.

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: You first.... we don't know the rules.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
J:  Is this you're way of killing your boredom?  This game of yours ... ::shouting::

CIV_Brock says:
OPS: ...If I may interject, we should just go with the flow and wait until he gets bored....

Host J says:
ACTION: In the center of the board a guillotine appears.  The blade is held up by a rope pegged to the ground beside it.  An unlit candle sits beneath the rope.

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::swallows and steps to the back of the crowd::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: has a moment of sudden realization:: OPS: I’m drunk again aren't I?

TO_McPeters says:
::Gulps loudly:: Self: why didn’t….

Host J says:
XO:  Which one do you want to sacrifice first?

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: You.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  No, Kaleh ... you're as sober as I am.

TO_McPeters says:
Self: why didn't I stay in bed today..

Host J says:
ACTION: The TO is suddenly transported to the guillotine where she is locked in

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: oh

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: You expect us to be tested and yet you refuse to define the rules?  Bad form.  Now let her go!

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::watches in horror::

CIV_Brock says:
XO: Well, it appears our TO is in trouble....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks desperately for a phaser or something to help the TO::

Host J says:
XO:  You rolled a seven.

TO_McPeters says:
Self: uh oh....

CIV_Brock says:
XO: Just do what he wants... We might live...

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Actually, I believe you did.  Please demonstrate..

Host J says:
XO:  The rules are simple.  If you are the first one to the finish line you win.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tries to go over and free the TO::

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::wonders why the XO is willing to risk yet another life::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::moves with the CMO::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The candle lights itself just under the rope.

TO_McPeters says:
::Lets out a little whimper::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Hang on ... go for the candle ...

Host J says:
ACTION:  The CMO meets up with a forcefield

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Get her out of there and I will move.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: hits it with some force and bounces back::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The XO is transported to the seventh square.

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::eyes never leave the TO::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  you OK?

Host XO_Rofax says:
::sits down and waits his next turn::

Host J says:
XO:  You forgot to pick a card.

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Very well.... where?

Host J says:
ACTION:  One of the cards flips over.

Host XO_Rofax says:
::stands to read it::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets up slowly:: OPS: I’m fine, thanks for asking  :: looks at Jordan for a second then looks over to the XO::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The card reads:  You have won second prize in a beauty contest.  Move forward two squares.

TO_McPeters says:
::Tries to move, trying hard to break free::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::steps forward:: J: Now, please release her.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
TO:  Hang on ... we'll keep trying to get to you

Host J says:
ACTION:  A swirl of smoke rises from the rope

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::tries not to grin at the thought of Rofax winning a beauty contest::

TO_McPeters says:
::Looks over at the rope:: OPS: you better hurry...please...

CIV_Brock says:
::Laughs out loud.:: Self: Beauty Contest!

Host XO_Rofax says:
::wonders where his ten bucks is::

Host J says:
XO:  When you get to the end Commander.  If you want to save them all.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Let's see if we can go around this ....

Host J says:
ACTION:  A forcefield firmly holds the rest of the crew at Start.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: sounds like a good idea to me

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Fine. Whose turn?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Can you move?

Host J says:
OPS:  You go next.

Host J says:
ACTION:  A smaller dice appear in Jordan's hand.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: yeah

OPS_Pettigrove says:
J:  No!  I'm not going to go along with this

CIV_Brock says:
Self: Whew! I didn't get picked...

TO_McPeters says:
::Extends her neck, hopelessly trying to blow the candle out::

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: we may have to to save the TO

Host J says:
ACTION:  The candle is just beyond the TO's breath

Host J says:
OPS:  Very well.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: runs into the forcefield repeatedly::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The giant dice jump and drop again, this time barely missing the CMO as they bounce.

CSO_Toms says:
::comes back from his day dream about implants, and notices what is going on:: Self: Crap

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::thinks Shiar looks like the Energizer Bunny from Earth's ancient past::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: steps back and stares at the dice::

Host XO_Rofax says:
~~~ TO: You are not here.  You are on Risa.  You are enjoying the sun, the surf, the sand, and a scantily clad cabana boy. ~~~   ::continues repeating the thought::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The dice come up double sixes

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watches::

Host J says:
OPS:  Well?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
J:  Well what?

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: see what you can do from there, I’ll keep trying from here

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  I can't move ...

TO_McPeters says:
::Thinks really loud:: Self: there’s a really sharp blade above my neck, there’s no way I can think about Risa...sharp blade....Risa...Sharp blade wins...Hurry!

Host J says:
ACTION:  The card reads:  Go to jail.  Go directly to jail

Host J says:
XO:  But Commander... why should they escape the fate of your family?

Host J says:
ACTION:  A cage drops around OPS.

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Family?  I have no family.  Marat saw to that.....

Host J says:
XO:  What about your son?  You let him go without even fighting.

J: I never had a claim to him other than my own.

CIV_Brock says:
J: Really?

Host J says:
ACTION:  The dice jump up and down coming up three

Host J says:

J: sorry but I only know the British version of the game, I’ll sit out if you don't mind. you know, try to learn your rules.

Host J says:
ACTION:  The dice do their flippy thing again coming up snake eyes.

Host J says:
CMO:  Proceed.

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: that's not good  :: walks forward 2 then makes a break for the TO::

Host J says:
XO:  A claim to him.  He was your son and you let him go

Host J says:
::watches the CMO run::

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: By nothing more than word.  His blood was not of my own.

Host J says:
::sighs::

Host J says:
ACTION:  the CMO trips and knocks his head on a giant die

CMO_Shiar says:
SELF: oww, it was worth a try

Host J says:
XO:  As are these beings.  And they too you will just let go.

ACTION:  The TO is replaced by the CMO on the guillotine

CMO_Shiar says:

TO_McPeters says:
outloud:: Wahoo ::does the happy dance as she scratches her nose::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: At least the TO is safe...

Host J says:
XO:  A simple creature like yourself has an idea?

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: well, I saved the TO

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: It happens remarkably enough.....

Host J says:
ACTION: The card reads:  Advance Token to Boardwalk.. if unowned, etc.

TO_McPeters says:
CMO: just keep blowing...you can maybe blow it out!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Careful ...

CSO_Toms says:
::moves to Boardwalk:: J: Can I buy it???

Host J says:
CSO:  It's all yours.

CMO_Shiar says:
TO: I’ll give it a try  :: blows at the candle with those strong Romulan lungs::

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::thinks that the CMO is full of hot air, so he may actually have a chance::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks incredulously at the CSO::

Host J says:
XO:  I believe it's your turn again.

CIV_Brock says:
::Attempts to leave his current square:: Self: I need to get out...

Host XO_Rofax says:
::holds out hand for the dice::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::needs the bathroom::

Host J says:
ACTION:  A small pair of dice appears in Rofax's hand

CMO_Shiar says:
:: needs a drink::

CSO_Toms says:
J: Sweet... ::starts rubbing hands together maniacally....:: Self: Rent, rent, glorious rent.....::trails off into rambling mutters::

Host J says:
ACTION:  There is a hole in the floor of OPS "jail"

Host XO_Rofax says:
::rolls them towards the center of the board::

TO_McPeters says:
CMO: good luck ..

Host J says:
ACTION:  The dice mysteriously come up with a huge number allowing the XO to move to Boardwalk

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::sees the hole and decides not to use it::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: keeps blowing and trying to break out::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The flame rises higher in the circulating air

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Stop!

CMO_Shiar says:
:: stops blowing::

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::thinks the CMO should stop blowing::

TO_McPeters says:
::Sits on the ground laughing at the CMO::

CIV_Brock says:
::Tries to leave his square::

CSO_Toms says:
XO: Gi'me gi'me gi'me.... ::holds out hand::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::glares at the TO::

CMO_Shiar says:
TO: you think this is funny!

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: I'm sure the rules of physics can be applied here..... no two objects can occupy the same space.... therefore, one of us should move forward one square.  Agreed?

CMO_Shiar says:
TO: just wait till your next physical

Host J says:
ACTION:  The forcefields around every square hold firm

Host J says:
XO:  And who should that be?

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Myself.  You said I finish and you will let them go.

TO_McPeters says:
CMO: yep...cause its not my head on the line any more ::Smiles::

Host J says:
XO:  And once again you plan to be the hero and save them all?

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: If that's the price to pay, so be it.

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::thinks the XO is just cheap and doesn't want to pay the CSO any rent::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The rope is nearly burned through

CMO_Shiar says:
TO: I hope you're planning for a sex change or you may just get a shock at your next physical

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, you can't ...

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Stop this madness.  They have nothing to do with this.....

Host J says:
XO:  You'd better hurry.

 Host J says:
ACTION:  The forcefield around Rofax drops

Host XO_Rofax says:
::steps forward::

Host J says:
ACTION:  As do everyone else’s

TO_McPeters says:
:Looks at the rope:: CMO: seems you may not make it that far...::Crosses fingers:: just trying to lighten the mood...

CSO_Toms says:
::watches the XO go.... damn freeloader::

CIV_Brock says:
::See the forcefield fall, and makes a run for the Start.::

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Now, let my Doctor go please.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::finds she can move .. Hurries over to free the CMO::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The board stretches and stretches

CMO_Shiar says:
TO: you at least owe me a drink

Host XO_Rofax says:
::doesn't move just yet::

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::hangs on for dear life::

Host J says:
ACTION:  The Start square moves farther and farther away...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::makes a grab for the candle::

Host J says:
ACTION:  OPS manages to free the CMO

CIV_Brock says:
Self:Oops...

Host XO_Rofax says:
~~~ OPS: Jordan, get everyone to safety.  ~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::frees the CMO::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gets up:: OPS: thank you

Host J says:
ACTION:  The rope burns through and the blade drops just as the CMO gets out

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  You're welcome. Now get the others out of here.  I'm going back for Cmdr Rofax.

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::takes a deep breath and begins to jog towards the start spot::

TO_McPeters says:
Self: uh oh...he's free...better run while I have a chance

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: you're the boss  :: moves towards the others::

Host XO_Rofax says:
J: Okay, you have removed me from the group.  What is it I can do for you?

Host J says:
ACTION:  In still a third flash of light everyone reappears on the bridge of the Pendragon.

Host J says:
XO:  Your doctor would have been dead if not for your OPS officer.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::suddenly finds herself back on the Pendragon::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: We're back... I guess...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Scan the area.  Try to locate the XO.

TO_McPeters says:
::back at the tac console, continues to scratch her nose::

Host XO_Rofax says:
::finds himself sipping a still cold coffee::  J: You would have struck him dead if it were your fancy.

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS: you'll have to let me repay you for that.

Host FCO_Bandicoot says:
::looks down at his panel::

Host J says:
XO:  Your heroism was nearly the death of them all.

Host J says:
::disappears::
