Ah Crap......

Host CO-Rofax says:
heheh

Host CO-Rofax says:
Captain's Log - SD 10403.20

Our mission into the caverns has taken an unexpected turn.  We appear to have two options, neither of them promising.

Host Aradapia says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume "Deep in the Dark">>>>>>>>>

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::standing staring at the creature ... whatever it is::

CSO_Toms says:
::scanning creature::

CMO_TCal says:
::Watching the creature as she scans its features, internally as well as externally::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The creature ruffles her wings.

CNS_Luchena says:
::listening to the rhythm of his heart beat::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CSO:  Is that what I think it is ...

Host CO-Rofax says:
::pressed into shadows against the wall, slipping his phaser rifle off his shoulder::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::standing still where he was standing earlier beginning to consider running::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::whispers quietly:: CO/Aradapia: Is there another way around...?

SO_Tribble says:
::watching CSO Toms scientifically scanning away::

Host Aradapia says:
::is prostrating herself before the Goddess::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: moves back into the shadows::

CSO_Toms says:
::turns to OPS with a look of bemusement:: OPS: We’ve seen them before.

Host CO-Rofax says:
XO: Back up through the rubble...  ::nods toward the way they came::

CNS_Luchena says:
::shifts his gaze to Aradapia.  Watches her intently::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::quietly and slowly:: CSO: just a question...this wouldn't happen to be related to our guide?

Host Aradapia says:
::turns her head:: XO: Goddess is supreme. It is high treason to hurt the Goddess.

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: brings his phaser rifle up to firing position... very slowly ::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the FCO:: FCO: Are you nuts?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods to the Captain and moves away slowly:: Aradapia: We won't hurt the goddess...we just need to get past her

FCO_Ens_White says:
OPS: Quite possibly.

CSO_Toms says:
FCO: I don’t know, but good question. ::runs a comparison between the bio-signatures of the guide and the creature::

Host CO-Rofax says:
~~~ ::tries to get an impression from the beast:: ~~~

CMO_TCal says:
::Listens to everyone talking. Aradapia is speaking rather illogically, saying this creature is a Goddess::

SO_Tribble says:
::watches Luchena watching Aradapia::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Self:  Thought so ... ::Turns her attention back to the creature::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::remains still out in the open watching the creature::

CNS_Luchena says:
::begins to move slowly toward the other side::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::watches Tribble watching Luchena watching Aradapia::

SO_Tribble says:
CMO: Perhaps the creature IS a goddess to the culture of Aradapia.  ::shrugs::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::considers jumping up and down shouting at the creature::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sets the SO down and continues to move out slowly::

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The creature reaches out a lazy paw and block Mikal's way.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::goes back to considering running::

CNS_Luchena says:
::stops::

SO_Tribble says:
CNS: Thank you.

CMO_TCal says:
SO: For cultural sakes that would be a logical conclusion. However a creature such as this shows little resemblance to a "Goddess".

CNS_Luchena says:
::quietly::  SO:  Don't thank me yet.

CSO_Toms says:
::remembers something from information about the planet, about a holy creature that this planet worships::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: raises phaser rifle and considers shooting the dragon::

SO_Tribble says:
CMO: According to whose definition?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CMO:  How so?   Every culture has different gods ...

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::speaks quietly but loud enough so everyone can hear:: All: Move back...regroup out of earshot of the thing...

Host Aradapia says:
Action: The creature winks a bright eye at the CO.

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: begins backing slowly away from the beast ::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::likes the XO's idea::

CMO_TCal says:
OPS/SO: That is correct. Some of these "Gods" however have been shown to not be true. Just regular creatures with no real special abilities.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::doesn’t move::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::lowers his phaser rifle and motions for the others to do the same::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches the beast::

CMO_TCal says:
::She stays where she is as she watches the CO and the creature::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::watches the creature curiously and opens her mind ... trying to sense something::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: lowers rifle::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CMO: I'd say this one has special abilities enough to parboil us without exerting itself.

CSO_Toms says:
CO: Sir, the records I went over before this mission talked of this beast, although all I remember is that it is regarded as greatly sacred

CTO_Shiar says:
:: moves towards the CO::

SO_Tribble says:
CMO: The shape shifters were gods to the Jem Hadar, as much as the shape shifters lacked "god-like" qualities according to our definition.

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: lowers rifle, keeps edging backwards ::

Host Aradapia says:
::continues to grovel and pay homage::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks towards the Captain::

Host CO-Rofax says:
CNS: Mikal.... can you feel its presence?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::quietly and slowly walks over to Aradapia:: Aradapia: We have to go...

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
CMO: Doctor, your points are well taken. But could you perhaps scan this thing and find us a way to pacify it?

CMO_TCal says:
CEO: However this seems to be a reptilian creature with some defense abilities. No real mystical powers. ::watches::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::concentrating solely on the creature ... trying to sense something::

CNS_Luchena says:
::shakes his head::

Host Aradapia says:
::ignores the XO::

CNS_Luchena says:
::turns back to Aradapia::

SO_Tribble says:
CSO: Did the records indicate why?

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: pulls out tricorder, begins scanning the cavern ::

CMO_TCal says:
CEO: I have been scanning this "thing" Ensign. ::She emphasizes Ensign as she speaks. She then turns her attention to the others::

CTO_Shiar says:
CO: we have a transporter on the anti grav, could we not use it to transport the creature out of our way?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::kneels down, refraining from placing a claw on their guides shoulder:: Aradapia: We're going back the way we came, you have to come with us

Host CO-Rofax says:
~~~ Dragon: Hello.  We simply wish to pass.  We mean no harm. ~~~

Host Aradapia says:
::glares at the XO:: XO: The Goddess will not harm you.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::still hasn't moved or said much since he saw the creature::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::powers down his phaser and tosses it on the ground, before taking a few steps closer

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
Aradapia: Then why will it not let us pass?

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: quietly :: CO: Captain... is this wise?

CSO_Toms says:
SO: No that I remember, but it is more then likely a simple case of worshipping something powerful.

Host Goddess says:
::turns her head and looks at the Captain more closely.::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::considers shooting the beast than considers running again::

CMO_TCal says:
::Watches the Goddess:: Self: Curious creature.

Host CO-Rofax says:
CEO: Not at all.... but keep that transporter ready.  ::nods to the CTO::

SO_Tribble says:
Aradapia: Why do you worship that entity?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain?  ::tries to sense if the animal is self-aware::

Host Goddess says:
CO: For a little man...you have a very strong intelligence. Of what type of creature are you?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::does a double take as it talks::

CNS_Luchena says:
::eyes widen::

Host Goddess says:
<Aradapia>: SO: Because she is the Goddess.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the CNS:: CNS:  It can shield itself?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks up as the Goddess speaks and stands::

CNS_Luchena says:
::moves closer to the CO in case he needs any diplomatic assistance::

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess:  Not of this world.  I am Ullian... a planet far, far away.

CSO_Toms says:
::comparison of the two creatures shows very little::

Host Goddess says:
::looks at the tribble:: CO: The little ball of fur. Is it your pet?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::continues to stare at the beast and remain still and out in the open but is beginning to think that this plan won't work::

CMO_TCal says:
Aradapia: In what way is this creature a Goddess?

SO_Tribble says:
Aradapia: Isn't that circular thinking?

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess:  No.  She is a member of my crew.

SO_Tribble says:
::hears Goddess's  comment and raises her fur::

SO_Tribble says:
::smiles at Rofax::

CSO_Toms says:
SO: Stand down. It is their belief. Do not be offensive.

Host Goddess says:
::chuckles:: CO: Balls of fuzz and creatures who get bitten by silly bugs.

CNS_Luchena says:
::thinks over the ramifications of the lizard understanding the concept of "pets"::

Host Goddess says:
CO: Why have you and your "crew" from a  land of some distance, entered my lair?

CSO_Toms says:
::thinks over the ramifications of it understanding our language::

CMO_TCal says:
::Looks at the 'Goddess' oddly::

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess:  We were invited.  We did not know it belonged to another.

Host Goddess says:
<Aradapia>: SO: The Goddess has saved our people.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::continues to doubt the usefulness of this plan but stays still as he doesn’t like the other ideas::

Host Goddess says:
::turns her massive head:: CO: Tell your little people that their weapons will have no effect on me.

SO_Tribble says:
Aradapia: From what?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::watches the beast closely, his useful eyes picking up the minute details::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::moves over to join the XO::

Host Goddess says:
CO: I am not of the intention of eating any of you.

Host CO-Rofax says:
ALL: Power down and stow your weapons.  ::has no intentions of doubting the creature::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: thinks over tactical options while powering down the phaser rifle::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::thinks about his handphaser still stored on his belt by his tricorder...thinks about running again...remains still::

CMO_TCal says:
::Watches the creature:: Self: It shows signs of intelligence. ::Thinks to herself that it did not look intelligent::

SO_Tribble says:
::relieved to hear that she won't be eaten::

Host Goddess says:
::looks at Aradapia:: Aradapia: You may get up, child. I am not unhappy with you.

CNS_Luchena says:
::never had his weapon drawn::

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess:  Surely, you can understand my intentions of wanting to protect my friends....

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the creature curiously::

CNS_Luchena says:
Goddess:  Just as you protect your eggs.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks:: Goddess:: May I ask you a question.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks over to Jordan as he stands next to him, and nods:: OPS: What do you think of it? ::whispers quietly as he nods his head in the direction of the beast::

Host Goddess says:
::looks back at Luchena:: CO: Your people are quite different from each other in appearance. Is this their camouflage?

Host Goddess says:
CNS: My eggs mean the life of this planet, small one.

Host Goddess says:
OPS: Speak.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods respectfully::

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess:  No, this is the way we are.... many people from many places....  No different that how the fauna varies from climate to climate on the surface....

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Goddess:  I was wondering ... can you help the one who was bitten by the insect?

Host Goddess says:
::chuckles:: OPS: Has he not been improved?

CMO_TCal says:
::Wonders why this creature can give orders when it is just a reptilian. Possibly because the crew fear it::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Jordan slightly shocked at her request::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Goddess:  Maybe ... but I would like him back the way he was ...

CNS_Luchena says:
::takes a quick glance at the CMO::

Host Goddess says:
::notices the female with the pointy ears and eyes her::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks from the dragon, to Jordan and to his arms:: Self: Improved?

CMO_TCal says:
::Looks up at the creature, feeling it staring at her:: Goddess: May I be of some assistance?

Host Goddess says:
OPS: Is your healer incompetent?

SO_Tribble says:
::laughs::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Goddess: No ... but this is something we have never seen before ... it would be of benefit if we could learn ...

Host Goddess says:
CMO: A lowly creature such as yourself cannot assist me.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at this goddess, and considers moving around a bit,  decides against it and stays still::

SO_Tribble says:
::wonders how the Vulcan will take that, looks at TCal::

Host Goddess says:
::considers the OPS' request::

CNS_Luchena says:
Goddess:  May we pass by then?  We mean you no harm.

CMO_TCal says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Goddess: Low creature?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks up at the beast and sighs:: Goddess: An improvement it may be, but it took away what I was...I was altered rather than improved.

Host Goddess says:
CMO: Sub-intelligent. Better?

CMO_TCal says:
Goddess: Your logic is flawed. ::Stares at the creature::

Host Goddess says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: You wish it so?

CNS_Luchena says:
::moves slightly off, and looks for Shiar::

CTO_Shiar says:
CMO: argue with the big creature, very logical

Host CO-Rofax says:
::steps closer to the beast, raising a tentative hand::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir ... wait ...

CMO_TCal says:
CTO: I am just stating basic logic Commander.

Host Goddess says:
CO: The green-blooded one is rude.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::smiles slightly, finally understanding:: Goddess: I wish to be what I was before...Improvement comes from life experiences, not altered DNA sequences.

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  If we have to run, what's the best way to go?  ::looks at the far exit::

Host Goddess says:
::looks at the CMO more closely:: CO: Or is it just dirt that makes it seem green?

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Goddess: He means no harm.  It is his manner.

Host CO-Rofax says:
::slows slightly, but doesn't really stop::  Goddess: No, they call that logic from our world.  She means no disrespect.

CMO_TCal says:
::She stares at the creature again and then the CO::

Host Goddess says:
XO: I will heal you and the one who lost a limb. In return, you will pay homage to my planet.

CTO_Shiar says:
CNS: more of us would survive if we split up as we ran across. staying at the edges may give some extra help

SO_Tribble says:
XO:  Uh, maybe we should rethink that.....

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess: At what price, may I inquire?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::continues to remain still wondering if the being has seen him::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::raises an eyebrow almost Vulcan style:: Goddess: Homage?

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  Maybe we should start moving people out while the creature is distracted.

CMO_TCal says:
::Listens to the creature as it says homage::

SO_Tribble says:
CNS: Yes, that's a definite plan.

Host Goddess says:
::turns her great head:: CNS: The "creature" is not distracted.

CNS_Luchena says:
::nods at the SO::

CTO_Shiar says:
CNS: I’d say it would be a bad idea

Host Goddess says:
FCO: You may relax, Small One. You're smell alone would prevent your being eaten.

CNS_Luchena says:
Goddess:  Forgive me.  How would you like to be addressed?

SO_Tribble says:
CNS: Ooopps.

Host CO-Rofax says:
::closes eyes and thinks various "explicatives" before glancing back at the guilty parties::

CNS_Luchena says:
CTO:  I'd have to agree with you.  ::grins::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::really doesn’t think his plan is working but can't think up anything else to do::

SO_Tribble says:
::sniffs at FCO and grimaces::

Host Goddess says:
::eyes the CNS:: CNS: How do you address the one who has guided your small craft through the stars?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::shrugs at the Goddess:: Goddess: it was worth a try.

CNS_Luchena says:
Goddess:  Captain.

CMO_TCal says:
::Notices the creature can listen to more then one conversation at a time.::

Host Goddess says:
::looks into the CO's mind:: CO: I do not see the winged one as being named "Captain".

CNS_Luchena says:
::notices the CMO noticing something profound::

CSO_Toms says:
::is thinking that the beast is not referring to the CO::

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess: You speak of Gilthanas?

CNS_Luchena says:
Goddess:  Gilthanas?

Host Goddess says:
::hopes she is not confusing the rather slow green one::

Host Goddess says:
::bows her great head::

CNS_Luchena says:
Goddess:  You are Gilthanas?

Host Goddess says:
CO: That would be her.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Goddess:  We respect Gilthanas ... She means much to us.

Host Goddess says:
CO: But she has left you, leaving another in her place.

Host Goddess says:
CNS: Do you not remember what this "Gilthanas" looked like?

CTO_Shiar says:
:: studies the creature incase tactical action must be taken::

SO_Tribble says:
::remembers::

CNS_Luchena says:
Goddess:  She takes many forms.

CSO_Toms says:
::remembers Gilthanas::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps forward slightly, peering quizzically at those around him::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::thinks::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::feels kind of out of his depth but still can't think up anything to do and remains relaxed still.::

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess: Chrysalis... yes.  She has spoken to us as well.

Host Goddess says:
OPS: It is good that your Gods hold your heart.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::holds the symbol she still wears::

Host Goddess says:
CO: Had you no God, I would have been forced to eat you all, regardless of the smell.

SO_Tribble says:
::looks aghast at the CO::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::considers narrowing his eyes but doesn’t think that would be particularly effective::

CMO_TCal says:
::Hears the Goddess thinking eating someone for not having a God is highly illogical::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::shakes his head and looks away from the Goddess::

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess: That may happen yet.  You have not declared whether we can pass safely or not.

Host Goddess says:
CO: I tire, little one. My children will be born soon and I will then leave this lifetime.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
Goddess:  May we pass?

Host Goddess says:
CO: Let me heal your "Crew" and set you back on your path. Perhaps you should remember that your God's place is in your heart.

CNS_Luchena says:
::doesn't believe in "gods" per se, but listens politely::

Host CO-Rofax says:
Goddess: It always has been.  Our vessel is a "dragon" as well....

Host Goddess says:
Action: The air in the chamber suddenly begins to grow hotter. The light begins to brighten until it glows a bright white.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::has a bad feeling about this::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::covers her eyes as the glow hurts::

CNS_Luchena says:
::casually strolls away::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::"Thankfully she didn’t eat us, Dremel. You would have left a sour taste in her stomach":: Self: Damn straight...

Host Goddess says:
Action: The crew is blinded and just as suddenly, they all lose consciousness.

CNS_Luchena says:
::shielding his eyes::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::instinctively closes his eyes and raises an arm to shield his face::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::collapses::

CNS_Luchena says:
::falls unconscious::

CMO_TCal says:
::On the floor, unconscious::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::then falls like a sack of wet mice::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::closes his sensitive eyes from the glare, raising his arm briefly before falling unconscious::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: falls unconscious::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::collapses to...the ground? or some hard surface...or something. unconscious::

SO_Tribble says:
::squeals loudly and then passes out::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::nearly wakes at the sound of the Tribble-squeal::

Host Cat says:
Action: The crew appears at the mouth of the cave system.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::continues to remain unconscious despite a loud squeal::

Host Cat says:
Action: Their wounds have been healed, they are as they were before. All of their belongings have appeared besides them.

Host Cat says:
Action: The entrance to the cave appears to have been sealed shut. Aradapia is missing.

Host Cat says:
Action: They begin to awaken slowly.

CTO_Shiar says:
::awakens slowly::

CNS_Luchena says:
::awakens slowly::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::doesn’t wake up as the nice dark warm place  is good::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::wakes up with a huge headache::

SO_Tribble says:
::blinks, purrs softly, awakening::

CMO_TCal says:
::Wakes up, finding herself on the floor she pushes herself up and then stands::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::rolls onto his side and pushes himself up::  ALL: Report...

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
slowly gets up off the floor with a quiet groan, marveling at his original hands::

SO_Tribble says:
::checks crewmates to see if they are all right, too::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: looks around:: SELF: oh well, looks like it's back to the ship for us

CNS_Luchena says:
::sits up and takes a head count::

SO_Tribble says:
CNS: What happened?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Aradapia is missing.

CSO_Toms says:
::wakes to a cacophony in his head::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::is annoyed at the person yelling, and all the people talking...can't they see someone is sleeping...sleeping....::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::groans and holds her head::

CMO_TCal says:
::Takes out her Medical Tricorder and scans everyone::

CNS_Luchena says:
SO:  I wish I could remember....

CTO_Shiar says:
CO: better than I was 2 mins ago

FCO_Ens_White says:
::wakes up with a nearly audible snap::

SO_Tribble says:
CSO: Mr. Toms, are you all right?

Host CO-Rofax says:
::stands and surveys as best he can::  CNS: Scan the area.... full sweep.

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
CO: All appears to be well, Captain...::pulls out his phaser pistol, spinning it in his hands a few times before holstering it and chuckling quietly::

CNS_Luchena says:
::gets to his feet and starts scanning::

CSO_Toms says:
::hears the SOs voice:: SO: Fine thank you Ensign.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::mutters something and looks around than notices the missing person::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: gets up and powers up the phaser rifle::

CMO_TCal says:
CO: Captain all wounds on the crew have been healed.

SO_Tribble says:
FCO: Aradapia is missing.

Host CO-Rofax says:
OPS: Contact the ship.... have them scan as well.  Upload whatever data we have.  ::tosses his tricorder to her::

Host Cat says:
Action: Although the XO no longer has poison claws, he has retained some of his abilities. He is stronger, faster, can see better and farther, and has a cat-like stealth.

CTO_Shiar says:
:: checks the area for stuff::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::gets up slowly and looks at the XO:: XO:  You OK, Sir.

FCO_Ens_White says:
SO: I noticed that.

Host CO-Rofax says:
<the XO still can't get a date however>

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<So true... ::sobs::>

Host Cat says:
<A Goddess can only do so much>

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<::continues sobbing::>

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks around again::SO: we may have to look for her or something...

SO_Tribble says:
FCO: Agreed.  But where do we start?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks over to Jordan, picking out every strand of hair with his eyes:: OPS: I...I think so...I can see everything...::looks down at his arms::...But no poison claws

CNS_Luchena says:
::scans the seal of the cave::

Host CO-Rofax says:
CMO: Run a scan.  I want to compare results against the Medical Database records.  We need to preserve a sample from everyone who entered that cavern.

OPS_Pettigrove says:
XO;  Sir?

Host Cat says:
Action: The crew hears a sudden click. Looking up, they find themselves surrounded by armed solders pointing heavy-duty phaser rifles at them.

FCO_Ens_White says:
SO:  Well...I could do something silly like fly a shuttle low over the country side looking for her...

FCO_Ens_White says:
::swears::

SO_Tribble says:
FCO: Oh, No!

CMO_TCal says:
CO: Understood Captain. ::She moves to each crewmember and compares their scans to the medical database::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::smiles at Jordan before turning as he hears the clicks::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: points a phaser rifle up but lowers it quickly::

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders how these guys snuck up on them so stealthily::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at the soldiers::

CMO_TCal says:
::Pauses as she hears the noise and looks around::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::contacts the ship to upload what ever information she has::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::doesn't even bother raising his phaser and waits for someone to declare themselves::

Host General says:
All: Drop your weapons by order of the high command.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::studiously does not roll his eyes::

Host CO-Rofax says:
ALL: Do as they say....

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders which high command as he drops his phaser::

SO_Tribble says:
CMO: The high command?   The Vulcan High Command?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::puts his hands out to his side palms out::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: slowly puts the weapon down while counting the guns of the soldiers::

Host CO-Rofax says:
~~~ OPS: Discretely contact the Pendragon and beam us out. ~~~

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::drops her weapons ... scans them with a tricorder::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::looks over to the CO before nodding and unclipping his phaser belt, letting it fall to the floor::

CMO_TCal says:
SO: I do not recognize them as such. ::Watches them::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::realizing her comm link is still open, whispers for beam up::

SO_Tribble says:
::looks carefully for pointed ears on the soldiers::

Host General says:
::looks around:: ALL: Who is the leader here?

CNS_Luchena says:
::points at Rofax::

CTO_Shiar says:
:: doesn't cooperate::

Host General says:
Action: The OPS is talking to dead air.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::considers something::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::whispers:: CO:  Sir, I can't contact the ship ...

FCO_Ens_White says:
::glances at the CO than smiles:: General: I am.

SO_Tribble says:
CNS: If I try to sneak away, do you think they will notice?

Host General says:
::looks at the rather odorific youngster::

CMO_TCal says:
::Looks at the FCO for a moment::

FCO_Ens_White says:
General: Well I am.

Host CO-Rofax says:
Gen: I am Captain Pindari Rofax of the Federation Starship Pendragon.  We have sovereign permission to be here.  ::steps forward a bit::

Host General says:
::sighs::

CNS_Luchena says:
SO:  They might not think to look down.  Be careful.

Host General says:
CO: Have your men disarm, Captain Rofax.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::sighs:: Self: oh well...it was worth a try.

CTO_Shiar says:
:: moves right next to the CO::

SO_Tribble says:
::smiles bravely at the CNS and begins to move away::

CMO_TCal says:
::Hears the CNS and SO but does not say anything, even though she thinks that is an illogical thing to do::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
General;  I have a question ... who are you?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::begins thinking that his plans aren't working at all well.::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::turns to face anyone who may still be holding a weapon::

CNS_Luchena says:
::holds his empty hands out::

Host General says:
::ignores the lowly female's question::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::keeps hands out to his sides palms forward::

SO_Tribble says:
::moves behind a nearby rock::

CMO_TCal says:
::Has her weapon holstered but hidden, covered by some medical supplies attached to her belt::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
::tries to read them empathically::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::clenches a fist and cracks the knuckles as he watches the general carefully::

Host CO-Rofax says:
ALL: Are we tempting fate once more.... drop any weapons.

Host General says:
Action: A soldier shoots and stuns Tribble.

Host General says:
::turns and glares:: All: Hold your fire!

SO_Tribble says:
::stops scurrying, stunned::

CNS_Luchena says:
::gasps::

CEO_Ens_Thraxis says:
:: puts phaser rifle carefully on the ground... stands with hands in view ::

CMO_TCal says:
::She takes her phaser out of its holster and sets it down next to her feet::

Host CO-Rofax says:
::turns and glares:: General:  What the blazes is wrong with you?!?  She doesn't even have hands!

CSO_Toms says:
::doesn’t carry a phaser::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::looks at the soldier who shot tribble::

Host General says:
::glares back::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
General:  You didn't answer my question ... who are you?

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::joins in the glaring at the General::

Host General says:
CO: We are waiting, Captain Rofax.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::carefully pulls his handphaser from its holster and tosses it to the ground::

CMO_TCal says:
::Knew that is was highly illogical for the Tribble to run on its own::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
General: Does this mean we get to shoot one of yours?

CNS_Luchena says:
::chuckles::

Host General says:
::motions to one of his men to collect the discarded weapons::

Host CO-Rofax says:
General: For an invitation... we have lain down our weapons.  Stand down and let us pass.

FCO_Ens_White says:
::is still looking at the same soldier::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps on his phaser pistol so they can't take it::

Host General says:
CO: Captain Rofax, I'm afraid that is impossible. You and your crew are under arrest.

CMO_TCal says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Self: We have committed no crime.

Host CO-Rofax says:
General: Under what premise?  And what authority?

SO_Tribble says:
::can't act surprised, since she is lying stunningly stunned::

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at the SO hoping she's stunned not dead::

Host General says:
CO: The charges include espionage and murder.

Host CO-Rofax says:
General: And you have evidence to support this?

FCO_Ens_White says:
::smiles than slowly turns his head to face the General but doesn’t say anything::

OPS_Pettigrove says:
General:  Who, exactly, are we have meant to have killed ...

CMO_TCal says:
::Looks to Tribble, wanting to go and assist the creature::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::keeps his boot firmly planted on his belt and holster, not letting anyone touch his weapon::

Host General says:
Action: You may discuss your concerns with your legal council.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders why the CMO isn't going to the SO's assistance::

Host General says:
::takes out his phaser and stuns the XO:: ALL: Anyone else care to resist?

CMO_TCal says:
General: May I assist the creature you have fired upon?

SO_Tribble says:
::begins to open eyes, sees the XO be stunned, and closes eyes, not wanting to see::

XO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::fall to the ground with a thud and groans slightly, rolling onto his side before falling asleep::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::narrows eyes at the General::

CNS_Luchena says:
::hopes the XO is stunned and not dead, sorta::

Host CO-Rofax says:
~~~ General: You are a weak man and a coward. ~~~

CMO_TCal says:
::She looks down at the XO and moves to her assistance. She first feels for a pulse::

FCO_Ens_White says:
::sits down::

Host General says:
