Guest starring:
Gilles as Lilith

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
Captain's Log, Stardate 10305.03. The away team has orders to return to the Pendragon as soon as the weather allows. They'll probably disobey me, but hopefully not before I've gotten a little information....

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CIV_Brock says:
::Is sitting near the front of the shuttle fiddling with his EVA suit.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::begins launch sequence ... but isn't leaving without the Captain::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::hobbles his way from the nether-parts of the shuttle::  ALL: Report.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::pulls down her left arm a bit, guiding herself to port::

CIV_Brock says:
XO: Dirty...

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits quietly::

CTO_Hull says:
::leaning up against the shuttle door carrying a phaser rifle, he looks left, he looks right for the Captain..."How did the mission turn this way?::

CSO_Toms says:
::sitting at the pitiful excuse for a SCI station trying to get some information about the storm::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::glances to the CIV, but does not reply::

Host Cat says:
Action: The engines sputter and die.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, I have initiated launch protocols ... but we can't leave the Captain ...

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::muses how much quieter this trip is than the last time she parachuted::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits in shuttle ::   XO: 3 lost, 1 mentally delicate and 1 who was violently sick. oh, and the CO has left... sir

Host Cat says:
Action: One of the creatures slashes Kerina across the face.

CTO_Hull says:
*CO*: Captain O'Dunn, your location?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  And now the engines appear to be broken ... ::fiddles with her controls::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::hears the engines::  OPS: Doesn't sound like we have a choice.  Save the reserves.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::would happily answer, but doesn't think it would be wise to let go of her makeshift parachute to open the comm::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::sitting at an auxiliary control panel tapping out some commands - turns attention to the shuttles engines, getting up from his seat heading to the back of the shuttle::  XO/OPS: I've got it....  ::sighs::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CMO: You wouldn't by chance have something for that would you?  ::grins although he feels a twinge in his head::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::disengages the engines::

CTO_Hull says:
::Isaac looks at his tricorder which is built in to his EVA suit, searching for his Captain::

CNS_Luchena says:
::loses the battle::

CIV_Brock says:
::Sighs as the engines shut down.::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  Need a hand?

CNS_Luchena says:
::stands up slowly::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
ALL: Let's save what power we can.  Shut down all non-critical systems, we are going to be here awhile.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: smiles:: XO: how's that leg of yours?

CNS_Luchena says:
::reaches his hand out and looks at it::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::rips off an access panel in the aft compartment::  OPS: That would be great....   I HATE shuttle engines....

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::makes a couple of additional adjustments to keep from being smashed into the rock face::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::begins shutting down systems:: XO:  All non-critical systems shut down.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CMO: Feels like a Cardassian vole has been munching on it, but other than that, great.  ::grins::

Host Cat says:
Action: The ground is quickly approaching. Kerina sees a river of fire straight below her as yet another slash tears across her back.

CSO_Toms says:
::begins shutting down the ships non-essential science systems, leaving only primary sensors and a few specialty secondaries online::

CTO_Hull says:
::Heads off away from the shuttle on a bearing towards his Captain::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::gets up to help the CEO::

CIV_Brock says:
::Is starting to get frustrated.::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
SELF: Owww.... ::pulls on the chute to steer away from the river::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::removes the control chip covers and begins accessing the engine calibration and power flow systems::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
ALL: I need two volunteers to inspect the outer hull.  We need to get this thing operational.

CNS_Luchena says:
::throws his head back and laughs loudly::

CIV_Brock says:
::Looks away from Rofax.::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: Mikal!!  What is it?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::removes another cover and scans with a tricorder::

CSO_Toms says:
::looks at the CNS:: Self: Oh dear...

Host Cat says:
Action: The laughs echoes throughout the shuttle.

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: I’d volunteer but I’m not sure I should leave the CNS.. unless you want to watch him

CNS_Luchena says:
::slowly looks toward the XO::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::turns to look at the CNS::

Host Cat says:
Action: Mikal's eyes are a bright, glowing red.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::arms reaching in deep into the thruster quad compartment::  OPS: Give me a status on the deuterium flow.....  The way things look over here, we should be going like a bat outta hell.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CMO: No, I need you here.  ::motions for a hypo to sedate the CNS with::

CIV_Brock says:
::Sees his eyes.:: Self: In the name of....

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: Mikal?  You okay there buddy?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, his eyes ...

Host Cat says:
Action: Kerina successfully clears the river and lands on the sharp ground below.

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: aye sir  :: gets the hypo out and goes to sedate Mikal::

CNS_Luchena says:
::chuckles in a voice much lower than his own::

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Now would be the time to kill the CNS...::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::nods but does not look away::  OPS: I see them...  are you armed?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looks over to Mikal::  CNS: Mikal?!?

CNS_Luchena says:
::holds up an arm as the CMO approaches::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::lands roughly, but doesn't damage the suit...but DOES wince with the jolt of pain in her leg::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::shakes her head::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::still trying to concentrate on his work::  All: We gotta get out of here.....  

Host Cat says:
Action: Flames shoot from his hand.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::quickly scans for the Gemstone::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::backs back towards the weapons locker::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CMO catches fire.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
Self: What does a guy have to do around here to get a pointy stick...

CSO_Toms says:
::hating the confinement of the shuttle; stuck with an insane man, a vomit bucket and a bunch of gung hoe heroes..... thinking he'll be lucky to get out alive::

CNS_Luchena says:
::throws back his head and laughs again::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
ALL: Whoa!  Fire in the hole!

CMO_Shiar says:
ALL: ah hell  :: stops, drops and rolls::

CIV_Brock says:
::Quickly pulls a phaser out(on Stun) and points it at the Counselor.::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::jerks hands out of the engine control compartment and lunges back::  CNS: MIKAL!!!!!! 

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CEO: Grab an extinguisher!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::opens the locker, grabs a phaser and quickly fires at the CNS::

Host Cat says:
Action: On the planet, a beautiful dark haired woman appears in front of the captain.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the CEO::  Self:  That's the one.

CIV_Brock says:
OPS: Nice shooting...

CTO_Hull says:
*CO*: Captain, this is Hull, where are you?

Host Cat says:
Action: The phaser fire has no effect...it actually seems to energize Mikal.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::wishes she didn't see the woman, and looks to see if she shows up on the tricorder::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::reaches for a fire extinguisher and catches OPS out of the corner of his eye::  OPS: JORDAN!!!!!?!?!?!?

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::looks for something heavy to whack Mikal with::

CIV_Brock says:
::Turns the phaser up and fires at Mikal.::

Host Cat says:
Action: The fire does not go out.

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns his back and walks to the front of the shuttle::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@*CTO*: Next to the river of lava, visiting with the natives, why?

Lilith says:
@ ::smiles:: CO: I am really here... Kerina?  Isn't it?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  That isn't Mikal ...

Host Cat says:
Action: A wall off blue fire begins to flicker around Mikal.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: is still rolling::  XO: dirt, I need dirt!

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
ALL: Stow those phasers....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CIV:  Cease-fire!

CNS_Luchena says:
::feels quite refreshed by the phaser fire::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks over the shuttle controls::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Yes......and you are...? ::puts away the tricorder::

CTO_Hull says:
*CO*: I've been ordered to bring you back...from your...never mind, just to bring you back

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
OPS: Water... we need water....

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
*CTO*: And I'm ordering you not to. At least not yet.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  The replicator .....

CIV_Brock says:
::Puts the phaser back.::

Host Cat says:
Action: The woman does show up on the tricorder....as fire.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::looking on at the commotion in total confusion and disbelief and tries to make mental contact with the CNS::

CSO_Toms says:
::using tricorder to see what can be found out about the "CNS"::

CIV_Brock says:
Self: I *wish* my telepathy was working...

Lilith says:
@ CO: You can call me Lilith... ::looks at her back:: You fell ok?

CMO_Shiar says:
ALL: throw some dirt on me... agghhh  :: is in pain::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::replicates a bucket of water and pours it over the CMO::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Fine, thanks. What are you?

CTO_Hull says:
Himself: Great! What am I a puppet? one tells me to go, the other tells me to go back!

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CSO: Lt, are there any unnaturally occurring phenomena?  Any radiation that may be causing this?

Host Cat says:
Action: Mikal tires of the babbling and all of the crew are suddenly thrown against the far wall as if pulled by magnets.

CEO_DeRidder says:
~~~CNS: Mikal.....   I know that this isn't.....~~~  ::is interrupted by the feeling of intense pain - falls to knees::

CNS_Luchena says:
All in shuttle:  Who knows how to fly this thing?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::is thrown to the wall::

CIV_Brock says:
::Hits the wall.::

CIV_Brock says:
CNS: I *might*....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::doesn't answer ... hits the back wall hard::

CTO_Hull says:
COM: Lucifer: This is Lt. Hull, the Captain is located near the lava river, she has ordered me not to get her...just yet anyway

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::thuds against a bulkhead::  Self: ouch....

CEO_DeRidder says:
CNS:  He doesn't know ::looking at Brock::  I do.....

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::would answer the COMM, but can't seem to move at the moment::

Host Cat says:
Action: The ground in front of Hull begins to move slightly.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::wincing from the feeling of pain::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: hits bulkhead, possibly still on fire::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::manages to glare at the CEO ... ::

CSO_Toms says:
::looks at the tricorder again....:: Self: that can't be right

CEO_DeRidder says:
::whispers::  OPS: I'm our best shot for getting through what ever the hell this thing is and getting to Mikal....

CSO_Toms says:
XO: Sir... the CNS is not alive... there are no life signs... he shows up only as sulfur....

CIV_Brock says:
Self: I think I'd rather be outside with the fearless leader...

Lilith says:
@ ::looks behind the Captain to the lava lake  seeming interested in it:: CO: I think you might find a vague reference on me in your... ::searches for word:: computer?  Seems your culture did not completely forget about me ::smiles

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::whispers back:: CEO:  Possibly, but we are not leaving ...

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CPU: Computer, activate all fire suppression systems.

CNS_Luchena says:
::sighs::  XO:  You.  Come here.

Host Cat says:
Action: The ground opens up in front of Hull to reveal a very large creature.

CTO_Hull says:
#::Looks down at the ground moving, and moves over to a outcropping of rock::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::looks behind her, wondering what Lilith sees::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: Why?

CIV_Brock says:
::Waits for the CNS to do something...::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::hobbles all hunched over toward the CNS::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I need to get off this rock and retake my place in the universe.  Fly this thing out of here.

Host Cat says:
Action: The fire suppression has no effect.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::looks up:: Lilith: That's a long way from here. Are those "creatures" friends of yours?

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: Thanks to your welcoming committee, our shuttle does not work properly.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::whispers:: CEO:  You getting anything from him telepathically?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Try it again

CEO_DeRidder says:
::a single tear rolls down his face::  OPS: Pain.....    Immense pain.....  

Host Cat says:
Action: The creature has large, pincher like claws and a huge gaping mouth with razor sharp teeth.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: is in pain, immense pain::

Host Cat says:
Action: The flames around the CMO go out. He is unharmed.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the CEO and a cruel smile crosses his face::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::moves to the helm::  CNS: Why us?  Can't you free yourselves?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: is no longer in pain, or immense pain for that matter::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  Leave him alone!

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: If they are friends of yours, could you ask them to leave my crew alone?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits up slowly::

CIV_Brock says:
OPS: Unless you want to die... Shut up...

CEO_DeRidder says:
::makes contact with the CNS::

Lilith says:
@ ::smiles:: CO: You've met them?   They can be a tad .... anxious.... they are just playing

Host Cat says:
Action: The CEO's skin begins to fall from his body as if peeled by a knife.

CNS_Luchena says:
::laughs in a booming voice::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CIV:  Keep your place Ensign!

CMO_Shiar says:
CIV: oi, shut it!

CEO_DeRidder says:
All: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!  

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Get me out of here now, or I will continue to hurt them one by one.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: Very well.  ::starts to power-up the shuttle::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to move to do anything to help the CEO::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: grabs a med kit and runs over to the CEO::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Their playfulness is very harmful to us. Could you ask them to stop, please?

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Serves him right...::

Host Cat says:
Action: The sand creature thinks Hull looks tasty.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tries to help::

Host Cat says:
Action: The shuttle's engine is dead, remember?

Host Cat says:
Action: Lilith introduces herself.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Sir, the engines are disabled.  We couldn't move even if we wanted to.

Lilith says:
@ CO: Maybe....  ::steps closer to Kerina:: Do you have anything to exchange for my cooperation ?

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: But you must allow me to retrieve my crew...  ::sees nothing power-up::   See?  nothing....

Host Cat says:
Action: The introduction is as follows:

Host Cat says:
Lilith….according to Hebrew legends, God first created Adam and then he created Lilith…not from dust but from sediment and filth. From this union she bore him sons that went on to create darkness…she refused to bow to Adam's superiority and was tossed out of Eden into Hell…and then God created Eve.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::smiles:: Lilith: What did you have in mind?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Keep trying.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::writhing in pain, screaming::

Host Cat says:
Action: Mikal waves his hand and the engines start. The CEO's face is fully skinned now.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Do something!

CMO_Shiar says:
:: administers a painkiller to the CEO::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: Stop that or we all die.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  I so love pain.  It makes me stronger.  ::laughs::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Yes, I've heard that old mythology.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::grabs face and falls to a knee, sort of hyperventilating in fear::

Host Cat says:
Action: The OPS officers face begins to dry up and crack.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: Cease your actions and I will commence.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: But can you ask your friends up there to leave my crew alone?

Lilith says:
@ ::waves:: CO: Surprise... that's me ::turns around dramatically:: What do you think?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Humm.. who is left.  ::looks around::

CMO_Shiar says:
CEO: calm down, take deep breaths...

CNS_Luchena says:
::spies the CIV::

Host Cat says:
Action: The creature attacks Hull.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::feels her face ... screams::

CIV_Brock says:
::Watches OPS with a somewhat indifferent look on his face.::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::programs in a launch sequence::  CNS: This is not a simple as turning on a light switch....  ::continues tapping along::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: notices Jordan having problems and moves on to her::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: I think you seem reasonably close to some interpretations of the myth. I also think I still want my crew safe.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Get us off the ground now.  ::continues staring at the CIV::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CIV's bones begin to disintegrate.

Host Cat says:
Action: The shuttle lifts off.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: gives her a painkiller then looks for something for her face::

CNS_Luchena says:
::laughs manically::

Lilith says:
@ CO: Don't worry... they are just playing

CIV_Brock says:
::Falls to the floor.::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::hears rude noises coming from the CIV::  CMO: Help him....

Lilith says:
@ ::chuckles softly::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Their playing is very dangerous to my crew. Please have them stop.

Host Cat says:
Action: The shuttle crashes into the canyon wall.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  I'm alright ... go and help the others ... ::keeps her face covered with her hands::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: turns and sees the CIV::   XO: aye sir  :: gives Jordan a moisturizer and moves onto the CIV::

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Careful there.  ::smiles cruelly::

Host Cat says:
Action: Mikal is getting bored.

Lilith says:
@ ::folds her hands and smiles the most evilish grin:: CO: Make me!

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::didn't realize his skills had diminished that badly::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  Who are you?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: makes a scan of the CIV::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Ok. How?

CNS_Luchena says:
OPS:  I have many names.

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: there isn't much I can do here sir

CTO_Hull says:
#Himself: Typical, I call the shuttle and no one responds, now they are going to leave me and the Captain here...Wonderful!

CEO_DeRidder says:
::laying there, weeping with face in hands::

Host Cat says:
Action: The creature grabs poor Lt. Hull in his pinchers and begins to trot down the hill with him.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::tries to activate the transporters and trap the CNS in the buffer::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sends a brief bit of pain the XO's way::

CMO_Shiar says:
*CTO*: how are you getting on out there?

Host Cat says:
Action: The transporters don't work.

CIV_Brock says:
::Is a bone-less mass.::

Host Cat says:
Action: The XO feels as if his heart is exploding.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: throws the XO a pain killer::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks of a wild idea ... grabs a fire extinguisher and shoots it at the CNS::

CTO_Hull says:
#::Tries to fire his phaser rifle at the creature:: *CMO*: I'm being carried down the hill to the lava river by some unknown creature....HELP!!

Lilith says:
@ CO: I'll sick my creatures on only one of your crew... you choose which one... I'll spare the rest. ::chuckles:: Of course.... you can't choose yourself my dear ::waits and fold her arms::

Host Cat says:
Action: The painkiller turns into an imp that bites the XO's nose.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tries to do something for the CIV but knows its useless::

CNS_Luchena says:
::ignores OPS::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::reaches for the hypo::  CMO: Thanks Doc.

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  Another ship will come for you, yes?

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: No, we are it.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::thinks for a bit, then smiles:: Lilith: Commander Jamin, then.

Host Cat says:
Action: The rest of Jordan begins to dry up and crack. A finger falls off.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO steadily::  XO:  No, I think you are lying.  To hell with you all then.

Lilith says:
@ ::closes her eyes for a moment:: CO: Try again my dear

CMO_Shiar says:
:: moves back over to Jordan::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watching her skin drying ... ::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Umm...ok. Commander Jamin.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::turns the shuttle towards the ground and looks for an opening to the underground WATER::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tries to help Jordan but there isn't much that can be done::

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks he can be patient for just a while longer::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::falls as she can no longer stand:: CMO:  Help ......   me ......

CNS_Luchena says:
::feeds off the pain and fear::

Lilith says:
@ CO: Come come.... choose one who is alive and the rest are safe....or they ALL will be like Jamin my dear

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: Hull said he was in some trouble. if we can get to him I suggest we try to help

Host Cat says:
Action: Mikal begins to glow.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::smiles more broadly:: Lilith: Ok then. ::takes one step toward Lilith::

CIV_Brock says:
::Can barely breath.::

CTO_Hull says:
#::Attempts to fire his phaser rifle again to get free of the creature::

Lilith says:
@ ::raises a finger:: CO: Careful now... be polite...

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::stands as the shuttle continues to descend:: CNS: That's enough.  ::removes his Bolian retractable machete::  Let's play....

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tries to help Jordan with a dermal regenerator::

Host Cat says:
Action: Hull and the creature trot up to Lilith's side.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  Doc .... He looks like he's getting stronger ... ::motions with her finger stump to the CNS::

CNS_Luchena says:
::calls his minions::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: By the authority vested in me by Starfleet Command, I hereby inform you that your services are needed for the duration of the current emergency.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Therefore, I choose crewman Lilith.

Host Cat says:
Action: Lilith laughs gleefully!

Lilith says:
@ ::Laughs:: CO: You are superb Kerina...

Host Cat says:
Action: Mikal's imps appear and begin to whisk the crew away.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CPU: Computer, flood the cabin with CO.  ::swings the machete, trying to slice open the CNS suit::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: keeps trying with the dermal regenerator::

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks that was good fun as he disappears in flames::

Host Cat says:
Action: The machete bursts into flames.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::is whisked away::

Lilith says:
@ ::points to Hull:: CO: What about him ? He seems ... quite able to be sacrificed?

Host Cat says:
Action: The computer does not respond.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: All the old legends state consistently that beings such as you are bound to the letter of the deal, if not the spirit. I don't see your friends coming to play with you...are you keeping your part of the bargain?

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::watches it fly as the CNS disappears::  CPU: Never mind......

CIV_Brock says:
::is whisked away.:: 

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: I've chosen you. A deal's a deal.

Lilith says:
@ ::laughs:: CO: Don't believe everything you read..

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::feels herself being whisked away ... is in no condition to stop the imp carrying her::

Host Cat says:
Action: All of the crew has been whisked away.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: So, you don't keep your word, then. Obviously, then, there's no point in my selecting any single individual, since you'll simply do whatever you feel like regardless.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: lashes out at imps::

Lilith says:
@ CO: Besides... I'm not alive.... I'm... something else

Host Cat says:
Action: The crew is carried into a large cave.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: That is irrelevant to keeping your word. I've come for the Gemstone's crew. Please give them to me and release us.

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: you wouldn't happen to have a plan would you?

Lilith says:
@ Demons: Bring them   ::sees the creatures begin to drag the CO and Hull to the caves::

Lilith says:
@ ::walks to the cave::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CMO: Staying alive would be a start.... but that may be pushing it.....

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@::mumbles obscenities in several languages about liars and cheats::

Host Cat says:
Action: The throne room is a large cavern of pure glistening back….obsidian in its most beautiful form, it glows from within like the darkest star… Upon these walls are weapons of torture and glowing torches that burn not a red glow but the purest white-hot blue that only Hell can produce.  

There are skins upon the floor, at first glance they seem to be animal skins such as those favored by hunters of the 20th century Earth, but on closer inspection one soon realizes that the skins are also those of sentient creatures….Terran, Vulcan, Klingon, Horta, Andorian, …all of the known races seem to be present as well as races never seen before.

In the center of the room is a huge obsidian throne, a throne that seems to move, to shimmer and waver, the screaming faces carved upon it seem to be actually screaming…as they actually are, for within this throne are the souls of those He has killed, those who deaths he has most enjoyed.

Lilith says:
@ ::chuckles and steps towards her thrown with a waggle in her walk than is quite extraordinary::

CEO_DeRidder says:
::remaining silent::

Host Cat says:
There are creatures around the room…. some are winged, bat-like creatures with skull-like heads, which cackle and clack their talons together in anticipation of tonight's feast. Still others are wraithlike creatures who have no clear form - until you suddenly glimpse the maggot eaten features that leer at you as they lick their cracked and crusty lips. Then there is the Master's pet….a dog as large as a bull, with not one but 4 massive heads: One is that of a rabid dog, another that of an adder, the third the heads of a Harpie, and the last….the last is that of a beautiful young woman…a woman so very beautiful so as to capture any man's heart.

Host Cat says:
The Gemstone's crew, or what remains of it, are within this room, a room that is so hot that the air shimmers, the walls seem to sweat, and the smallest breath burns one's lungs with fire and brimstone.

Host Cat says:
Of the brave crew, 80 men and women who crashed upon the plains of Hell; 69 survived crash and 5 were killed by sand creatures, before life support on the Gemstone failed. Luckily (or was it unluckily) the crew found themselves in the room in which they now remained.

Host Cat says:
Of those 64 souls, 4 were fed to the Master's pets, 12 died in a futile attempt to escape (it is their remains upon which the Pendragon's crew now stands), 7 are mortally wounded; kept alive only to feed their fear to the Master of Hell. As for the rest….

Host Cat says:
One is in an Iron Maiden to your right; two others are stretched out on racks to your left, four have been staked and are slowly dying against the far wall…as for the rest, they are being held in a small cage, suspended over a lava pit. Held up by a thin, gossamer chord.

Host Cat says:
Upon the table at the throne's side is the still beating heart of the Gemstone's CMO….Mikal casually reaches out and takes a bite, the blood flowing liberally down is face and hand….the animals in the room begin to scream and howl. He casually throws the remains to his pet, grinning as the four heads battle for the tidbit.

Host Cat says:
Action: Lilith walks to Mikal's side.

 Host CO_O`Dunn says:
@Lilith: Now what?

CEO_DeRidder says:
::sitting silent::

CTO_Hull says:
#::Places his comm badge on distress::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wipes his face with his arm and watches Lilith::

Lilith says:
@ ::rubs a finger down Mikal's chest::

Host Cat says:
Action: For now, the Pendragon crew is back to normal.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CO: Captain.... fancy meeting you here....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks around her in horror::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: runs towards the mortally wounded and tries to help them::

CIV_Brock says:
::Looks at himself.::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: I told you to stay in the shuttle.

CNS_Luchena says:
Lilith:  Hello my dear.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CO: We did....

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::frowns:: XO: Oh. So much for that plan then. The crew ok?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CO::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: works on the Gemstone wounded one by one::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CO: I even managed to get us off the ground before Mikal went into this little episode....

Lilith says:
::smiles:: CNS: Hello.... been keeping busy?

CIV_Brock says:
::Thinks- Still no telepathy....::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::waits for Lilith to answer her::

CNS_Luchena says:
Lilith:  I feel very refreshed.  ::smiles back::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CO: Hard to say.... we were attacked.... whether it was real or imagined, I am unsure.....

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
XO: A bit of both, I think. State of mind at least seems to make a difference.

Lilith says:
::ignores Kerina and rubs her hand down Luchena's chest::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, I don't know if this is any use ... but he seemed to feed off our fear ...

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CO: Agreed.... nothing conventional.... including logic appears to work.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: That actually confirms my observations. A shame we can't convince everyone to simply be not afraid.

CIV_Brock says:
::Analyses the situation and snickers...::

Host Cat says:
Action: Kerina's tongue begins to bleed.

CNS_Luchena says:
Lilith:  They sure like to chatter.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::nods::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::spits out a mouthful of blood and glares at Lilith...would try to do something, except for being held by a minor demon::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: overhears the CO and Jordan while still helping the wounded::

Host Cat says:
Action: When the CIV snickered, something shrank.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CO: If we could only end their suffering.  ::motions to the Gemstone crew as he sees the Captain begin to bleed::

Lilith says:
::smiles:: CNS: We have to ignore them sometimes.... this body seems..... quite agile....

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks Lilith over::  Lilith:  This one's a little weak but he'll do for now.

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: sir, I know this is a bit unorthodox and I would never normally suggest it but... we could drug everyone up so much that no one could be afraid...

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::overhears the XO:: XO:  But how?  kill them?

Host Cat says:
Action: The Master's pet walks over and begins to sniff Hull.

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: sorry, that was a terrible idea  :: gets back to helping the wounded::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CMO: If you can move, make it so.  We need the consciousness of the Gemstone crew subdued.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Actually I think it's a good idea ...

Host Cat says:
Action: The female head smiles and winks at him.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
OPS: If we must kill them so be it.   But I do not think it will come to that.

CSO_Toms says:
::standing where ever he is, quivering:: Self: oh god, oh god, oh god.....

CMO_Shiar says:
:: starts drugging those that can be drugged::

Lilith says:
::begins to inspect various body parts on Luchena's body:: CNS: I think yes... it will do

CTO_Hull says:
::Smacks the pet away:: Pet: Get away from me!

CIV_Brock says:
CMO: Don't drug me.

CNS_Luchena says:
Lilith:  And their cute little plots.  ::smiles and watches Shiar::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::watches Lilith slither over Mikal a bit:: Lilith: So THAT's it.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  No, Sir.  I mean Dr Shiar's idea.  If their not conscious of what is happening to them then they can't fear it ... and they can't feed ... ::points to Lilith and the CNS::

Host Cat says:
Action: One of the wraiths tries to kiss the CSO.

Host Cat says:
Action: The CMO's medkit bursts into flames.

Lilith says:
CSO: Nope.... not him.... the other one...::winks::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
OPS: I would agree.  Try to free yourself and subdue the Gemstone survivors.

Host Cat says:
Action: Those who were drugged feel even more afraid.

CNS_Luchena says:
Lilith:  What did you have in mind, my dear?

CMO_Shiar says:
:: jumps back:: SELF: so much for that idea  XO: my med equipment is gone

CMO_Shiar says:
:: moves back over to the others::

CNS_Luchena says:
::enjoying the extra fear in the room::

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::begins to think about Ved and Tria::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO:  Looks like it's academic now ... ::points to the burning med kit::

CMO_Shiar says:
XO: my only other idea is to stun everyone so that they are unconscious

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::waits::

CSO_Toms says:
::looks a little worried. Just replace worried with freaked out, and a little with massively::

Host Cat says:
Action: The dog licks Hull.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CMO: I doubt phasers will work, but you are welcome to try....

CTO_Hull says:
Himself: Oh very nice! What next?

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::hopes the dog doesn't try to mate with the CTO::

CIV_Brock says:
::Falls onto the ground for no reason and he then gets up.::

CMO_Shiar says:
:: tries the phaser but doesn't expect much success::

Host Cat says:
Action: The wraiths begin to moan.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: Mikal!  When's the last time you played the piano?

CNS_Luchena says:
XO:  He's not at home.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
CNS: Too bad.... you may enjoy it....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, what if we got everyone to consciously think of happy memories ...

CEO_DeRidder says:
::still seated silent like::

CMO_Shiar says:
OPS:: good idea, but it could be difficult

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
OPS: Can you get me a side of Risa to go with that?

Host Cat says:
Action: The phaser explodes in the CMO's hand.

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Most of them don't have the mental discipline to do it.

CSO_Toms says:
::wide eyed, wondering why he’s not dead yet...::

Host Cat says:
The CMO's hand goes with it.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::chuckles at the XO's comment::

CNS_Luchena says:
::reaches out and strokes Lilith::

CIV_Brock says:
::Starts walking in large circles around the group.::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
OPS: Unless you've got some clever solution to that.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I wish ...

CMO_Shiar says:
ALL: damn!  :: looks for something to wrap around stump::

Host Cat says:
Action: The wraiths begin to tear apart one of the Gemstone's crewmembers.

XO_Cmdr_Rofax says:
::closes his eyes and begins chanting to the Prophets for strength and faith::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::wriggles a bit in the grip of the demon that hasn't released her yet::

Lilith says:
::grabs Luchena by the neck and kisses him with passion::

Host Cat says:
Action: One of the imps lands on the CEO's shoulder.

CEO_DeRidder says:
::jumps up and screams again - swatting:: Imp: OFF ME!!!!

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CEO:: CEO:  Calm down!

CMO_Shiar says:
:: looks forward to getting drunk later::

Host CO_O`Dunn says:
::has no clue what to do...it seems pretty darned hopeless at the moment::

Host Cat says:
Action: The imp laughs with glee and bites the CEO.

CIV_Brock says:
::Goes around for a sixth time.::

Host Cat says:
Action: The CIV is still shrunk and now his feet hurt.

CMO_Shiar says:
:: sits down to conserve strength::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CIV:  And will you please stop pacing!  You're driving me nuts ...

Host Cat says:
