Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Coot says:
The Crew corrected the time line after an encounter with an unknown vessel from an unknown time. The unfortunate destruction of the Pakled vessel halted the damaged done to the past, but did not erase all the damage encountered by the Pendragon.

Host Coot says:
As the crew recovers, solitude awaits on Betazed. A week's shore leave has been granted before Starfleet Command is expected to come calling with questions. The answers are out there, but which answers hold the truth may elude those who seek them.

Stardate: 10704.07
Subject: Mission Orders

Host Coot says:
Starfleet Command has received the most recent reports from the Pendragon, which are to say, intriguing. Pending a formal investigation of the incident, the U.S.S. Pendragon is hereby ordered to Betazed. Upon the Pendragon’s arrival, one week of shore leave is to be granted. Further communiqué to follow regarding the reports of your most-recent patrol. That is all.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Crew has been on Betazed for three days now. Only the stars know how much trouble they have gotten into.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie steps out of the washroom from her hotel room on Betazed and makes her way into the living area::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sitting on a deck nursing a hangover type thing::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@:: finishes the last of the reports to the DTI and puts down the PADD ::  CPU: Computer: Locate Jordan Thraxis.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::gets up from her bed and pads out into the living room::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::in her quarters::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She makes her way over to her closet and begins to look through her wide-array of outfits::

Host Coot says:
@<CPU> CO: Cmdr Thraxis is in her quarters.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::laying on his bed, thinking. Little Ashley is nestled under his chin::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels like hell::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie finds a violet colored sundress and decides to place it on. She walks over to the mirror in her washroom to make sure that she looks presentable::

Ens_Tribble says:
::walks up to XO::  Sir?   Can I help you with something?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
WindFire:  Wake up my pet.  Time to rise and shine.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@:: stands, leaves the Ready Room, nods to the lieutenant who is serving as duty officer ::   Lt: You have the conn, Lt. Newton.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders if a walk on the beach would help him feel better::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She makes her way out of her hotel room toward the entrance to the hotel - her destination being the beach::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: enters the turbolift, orders it to the officer's quarters ::

Ens_Tribble says:
XO: Sir?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Pets the cat::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::startles::  TO:  What?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She makes her way into the lobby and smiles at the men who give her several complimenting looks. However, Jamie was not feeling up to having any company. She winks at some of the men and makes her way out of the hotel::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::sitting on the sofa ... ::

Ens_Tribble says:
XO: How are you?   Anything I can do to help?  ::concerned::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Mother> Maria: Come hun and eat.  Breakfast is ready.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie makes her way onto the sandy beach and begins to walk along the coast in silence::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Mother: Yes mom coming.  ::looks at WindFire::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: exits the turbolift, goes over to the door of the quarters he shares with Jordan... hesitates, then goes in ::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: stops at the threshold ::  Jordan:  Jordan?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::hears someone enter ... senses who it is:: CO:  Captain ...

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::WindFire steps on her shoulder from his perch and both head for the kitchen::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::grins::  TO:  I feel worse than I look.  How about taking a walk with me?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She looks up as a cloud begins to cover the sun. Jamie shakes her head and takes a seat in the sandy, tucking her legs underneath her arms - just thinking::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Mother> Maria:  How is WindFire this morning?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: blinks, walks to the sofa and sits next to his wife ::  Jordan: 'Captain'? My, a bit formal, aren't we?

Ens_Tribble says:
XO: Certainly.  ::smiles::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Mother: Mom he is fine and so am I.  Now about breakfast I am hungry.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  I'm sorry ...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Three of the men from the bar have followed the CNS out to the beach. They are shoving each other towards her, egging one another on.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Thank you.  ::nods in appreciation and continues down the staircase to the beach::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Mother> Maria: Hold on to your feathers both of  you ok relax and I will get your breakfast.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She closes her eyes as she listens to the sound of the ocean waves. Jamie ignores the men that she can easily sense around her::

Ens_Tribble says:
::follows, enjoying walking on the sand::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::decides to beam down to the planet::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: chuckles ::  Jordan: Don't be.   :: takes her hand ::   Dr. Servek says you are refusing treatment for your eyes. I'd really like to know why.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  Because I don't deserve it ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::pushes the cat off him gently, gets up and dresses for the beach::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: What is that supposed to mean? What do you have to do to 'deserve' not to be blind?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  Because of what I have done ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: And what was that?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She takes in a deep breath, allowing the warmth and the scent of the salt water to entice her senses::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::makes his way to the transporter room::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::walks::  TO:  Beautiful day.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  I hurt you and everyone else here ... I failed in our last mission ...

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The lights in the CO's quarters dim briefly before returning to full strength.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::as Mom brings the food father walks into the kitchen yawning::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Father> Maria: I trust you slept well?  Good morning WindFire.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees a woman down the beach, with a bunch of goons cavorting nearby::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::reaches the transporter room, and beams down to the planet::

Ens_Tribble says:
XO: Yes, it certainly is.   Do you like to swim?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO materializes on the surface.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: sighs ::    Jordan: I don't recall any failure. I recall you being confused and angry, but no failure.   :: looks up at the lights, but decides to ignore them for now... probably Engineering checking the EPS conduits on this deck ::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She remains in her stationary position - her mind racing about several different things::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Tribble:  Not in the ocean.  ::feels a bit light headed::  May we sit?  ::collapses into the sand::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<WindFire> ::nods his head up and down acknowledging he is fine::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::tries to remember where the nude beach was::

Ens_Tribble says:
XO: Sure.   Are you all right?  ::concerned::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  This conversation is over!  ::gets up and trips over the table ... lands in a lump on the floor::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Tribble:  Just a little too much celebrating last night.  ::takes a deep breath of the salty air::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: One of the three men musters up the courage and sits down next to Dawson, muttering some cheesy come on line.

Ens_Tribble says:
XO: Are you sure that's all it is?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Looks around the beach bar::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: gets up, helps Jordan up and sits her on the sofa ::   Jordan: Sweetheart, pushing me away isn't going to solve anything. You're miserable, and I want to help you. You do recall that I love you, don't you?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Father: You know he will not telepathically talk to you.  Why do you insist on trying?  You were the breeders and well you did great.  Only one thing I need to know?  What would happen if the bond between bird and owner is broken?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She opens her eyes, looks at the man as she takes a pile of sand in her hand. Jamie then proceeds to throwing the lump at the man. She then gets up and begins to walk in the other direction::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chuckles::  Tribble:  Quite sure.  ::looks down the beach toward the woman.  Recognizes her by the way she walks::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Father> Maria: You know the answer to that.  I need not tell you again.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::pushes him away:: CO:  I can't do this anymore!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::lowers her head::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The assaulted man is none too happy, but his friends are laughing mercilessly.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: All right.  ::watches XO look down the beach, and wonders who the woman is::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie takes off her sundress and makes her way into the water::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@:: sits quietly for a moment ::   Jordan: What is it you can't do, sweetheart?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Our counselor might be in a bit of trouble, or maybe not.  ::keeps watching::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Mother> Maria: You know what would happen.  He would die.  ::glares at Father::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The lights in the immediate area around Jordan flicker and go out.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::speaks very softly:: CO:  Live.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: What's up?  Who is she?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::bellies up to the bar:: Barkeep: A beer please

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She begins to wade in the water slowly, watching the three men on the beach. She really was not in the mood today::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Counselor Dawson.  Haven't you met her.  ::frowns just thinking about her::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The barkeeper slides the CEO a tall beer.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Sorry.  Yes, I've met her.  Just didn't recognize her.  ::looks more intently::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::deftly catches the sliding beer::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Now you really have me worried.  :: looks up again :: Dammit. Just a second, sweetheart...   :: taps his commbadge ::  COM: Engineering: Engineering, this is the Captain. The lights in my quarters are failing. Get them fixed, please.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Mother/Father: I don't understand why you did it like that?  But on the other hand I do know why but it is not fair to the bird that he should die.  It all sounds cruel.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches to see if the men continue to harass her::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
Self: What an ugly little man. ::She shakes her head::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  What is it?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The three men regroup and enter the water, closing the distance on the CNS.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Shall we go to her rescue?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands::  TO:  Let's go.

TO_Tribble says:
::wishes she had her trusty phaser::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She gives all three men a glare:: Men: Do you seriously have a problem? I'm sorry, but I don't date little boys. ::She dives down into the water out of their view::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Father> Maria: No it is not cruel.  It is a safety procedure and a humane one.  I am sorry it hurts you this way.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hangs back knowing Tribble is a crack tactical officer and can handle it::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@<Blather>*CO*: Blather here Sir. We're aware of the problem and working on it.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Jordan, whatever it is that has you in agony, please don't use it as an excuse to shut me out. Share it with me. I read something that an Earth novelist wrote once: "Shared joy is doubled, shared sorrow is halved." Talk to me. Let me help. Please.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: One of the men dives after Dawson and manages to snag her by the ankle. The other two close in quickly.

TO_Tribble says:
::hurries over to the area by the Counselor and goes into the water::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Father: It not only hurts but also makes me mad.  So you mean to tell me that a genetic bond that you created links all our birds telepathically and if we are separated WindFire would die?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She takes her hand, grabs the man in his special place and twists and squeezes rather hard::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: takes her hand once again ::

TO_Tribble says:
CNS: Do you need help?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::continues along the beach watching::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She surfaces and turns her gaze toward the Tactical Officer:: TO: Actually, would you happen to have a phaser handy?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Father> Maria: Yes daughter that is the way SFI wanted it.  You know the project was granted to go ahead and do so.  Your sisters and brother all carry the gene and so do your companion birds.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ COM: *ENG*: Do it from outside my quarters, please. I am not to be disturbed.

TO_Tribble says:
CNS: No, but I have my communicator and can request one, if you would like.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Mother> Maria: That is why you two are able to understand each other telepathically and basically only you and no one else.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The victim sinks beneath the water and the other two move in to grab the CNS.

TO_Tribble says:
::takes out communicator and requests transport of a phaser::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  And what do you want me to tell you?   I'm not even sure what I feel!

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She smiles at the men:: TO: I would love one, Ensign. ::She moves back away and waits for the phaser::

TO_Tribble says:
::moves to disable one of the men::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::remembers that she nearly lost WindFire and the episode brings back the emotions that went with it and she cries::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks the ladies have things well in hand::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::drinks his beer::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Tell me what you do know. Tell me what you remember about the last mission. Why do you think you failed? As I recall, you weren't even on duty.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<WindFire> ::gently nuzzles her cheek with his beak:: ~~~Master: I am still here and alive.  Do not cry.~~~

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A phaser materializes next to Tribble. One would presume she is holding(?) it.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
Men: You do know that your friend will die if he remains underwater for too long. ::She continues to move away from them, wondering how dense these boys truly were::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
TO: May I borrow that please? ::She extends her hand::

TO_Tribble says:
::grabs the phaser and points it at the men::  Please leave this area.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::reaching up she gently rubs his head and the tears cease::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As Dawson reaches for the phaser, something underwater grabs her and pulls her under.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
Self: For the love of... ::She takes her nails and digs them deep into the man's neck::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  What do I remember?  I remember the Enola Gay, the tractor, it breaking up ... the deaths I caused .... I tried to kill the Pakleds ... I shot at members of my own crew!  Tell me I do not deserve punishment!

TO_Tribble says:
::shoots the phaser about one foot away from Dawson, near the shadow of one of the men::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees Dawson go under.  Hopes he doesn't have to go in the water::

TO_Tribble says:
::phasers the man whose neck bares Dawson's nailmarks::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The two on the surface begin to charge Tribble, muttering threats. Dawson still has not surfaced.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::undoes his pants::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@<Blather>::works to stabilize the lights in the captain’s quarters::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Mother/Father: You must understand that there is more to the genetic bond.  There is a personal bond that has been developed between us and for it to suddenly be broken would probably send me and my siblings into chaos or deep loss.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::drops them::

TO_Tribble says:
::phasers the two men and then begins to look for CNS::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::dives in::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She then retracts her nails and decides to dig back in to the man's special place::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: The Counselor is underwater!

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A brilliant reflection shines off of the XO's legs.  He hasn't got much of a tan.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::picks up his beer glass and looks at it...is everybody happy......::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Father> Maria: Your sisters and brother all know the risks and the reasons.  You are by far the most attached to your bird.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  We must find her!   ::dives again::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: I knew that the plane had a good chance of breaking up under the tractor beam. I ordered you to tractor it anyway, because the alternatives were all much worse. Frankly, I wanted to kill the Pakleds, too. And as far as shooting at crew is concerned... well, let's just say there's been no official report. The unofficial reports say you didn't aim very well... and we all know you're a damn good shot.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She takes her heel and rams it into the man's gut... her lungs now beginning to scream for air::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees Dawson struggling below::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The two men dip below the surface as Dawson resurfaces.

TO_Tribble says:
::phasers the men again::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: There!  ::points at CNS::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Whatever you think you are guilty of, none of it merits being blind the rest of your life. You need to be whole again... in all respects. 

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She resurfaces and takes in a gasp of air:: TO: Get me a phaser!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::makes up her mind that spending the time with her parents wasn't such a hot idea and decides to go to the hotel instead::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees Dawson bobbing to the surface::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Mom/Dad: I think I am going to spend the rest of shore leave with my crewmembers at the hotel.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  I do not know if I ever wish to see, Albaron ...

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<Mother/Father> Maria: If  that is what you wish you have our blessings.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::breaches then swims back to shore::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Mom/Dad: Yes I think it is the best.

TO_Tribble says:
CNS: I believe they are stunned.   Let's get them back to shore before they drown.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She shakes her head as she takes several more gasps of air:: Self: I just wanted peace and quiet! ::She turns toward the Tribble:: TO: Let them drown. ::She makes her way out of the water::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::runs up stairs and grabs her few items and throws them into her bag and runs down the stairs::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO: I can take some comfort is knowing that this way I can never hurt you or anyone ever again.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::walks out of the surf and pushes his hair out of his eyes::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The two stunned victims bob along the surface of the water. The gouged individual is nowhere to be seen.

TO_Tribble says:
::wonders how she is going to save two stunned (and stunning) men::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::kissing both her parents she stands on the transporter pad and is promptly transported to the hotel::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  Trouble always seems to find you Dawson.  ::picks up his pants from the sand::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She walks over to her sun dress, pulls out her Combadge, and orders the Pendragon to transport her down a phaser and holster belt::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: I need some help here.  One of them must have gone under.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
XO: I'm over it. ::Her tone sounds extremely annoyed::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  Since you have a commbadge, perhaps you could arrange assistance for your victims?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: You're hurting me right now, sweetheart. And you're hurting the woman I love. Whatever pain you're in, you're not the only one experiencing it. You can't be, so long as I am alive.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Over some mumbled wonderings, the CNS has her request granted.

TO_Tribble says:
::pulls one of the men to shore and goes back for the other::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::upon materializing in front of the hotel she runs inside and quickly gets a room and runs up the stairs and into her room and plops on the bed and bursts into tears::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps back into his pants and does them up::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
Self: Perhaps I should eat tons of greasy food and get fat. ::She looks at the XO, takes her weapons and places them around her waist:: XO: They can drown for all I care. I'm on leave. ::With that said, she makes her way off of the beach::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::smiles as her mood changes suddenly:: CO:  How about a trip to the surface?  I might not see it but I can sense it.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  That's an order Lieutenant.  Have them transported to a medical facility.

TO_Tribble says:
*COMM* Pendragon, can you scan for an unconscious civilian who may be below the surface of the water in my vicinity, please?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::orders another beer as the band heats up and a variety of people begin dancing::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
XO: You can't issue me any orders, Commander. I'm off duty. Feel free to call someone if you wish. ::She tosses him her Combadge before she leaves::

Host Coot says:
<Pen> *TO* Aye, scanning now. What should we do with him, should we find him?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::catches the commbadge and activates it::

TO_Tribble says:
*COMM* Transport him to sickbay and place him under guard.  Also, please transport the two civilians near me to sick bay and place them under guard.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: How about we get you to Sickbay and get your eyes taken care of. Then you can see it, sense it... and maybe the wonders of Betazed will help your soul to start healing as well. Please, sweetheart... don't do this to yourself. You're not a bad person. You've done nothing so terrible that you should live without sight for the rest of your life.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::overhears Tribble and deactivates it::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Engineering manages to find nothing wrong with the lights on Deck 2, but it remains bathed in dark. Emergency lighting is functioning however.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Not waiting for anything more from Luchena, she makes her way over to one of the bars and makes her way directly over to the bar itself:: Bartender: Scotch. Make it a double.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: I am going to continue looking for the missing man.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks it is typical of Dawson to leave others to clean up her messes::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  I'll wait here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::getting into the swing of things orders 2 shots after meeting a tall blond on the dance floor::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  All I ask is that you respect my wishes, Albaron.  Maybe in time ... but not right now.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She takes the scotch and drinks it down in one gulp:: Bartender: Give me three more.

TO_Tribble says:
::dives down looking for the missing man::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::wiping her eyes she takes a shower and gets dressed in her blue chiffon dress and fixes her hair and allows WindFire to step onto his shoulder pad on her shoulder and heads for the bar::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@<Blather>: Damn! What now? ::Investigates::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The bartender complies with the CNS' request.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::shivers::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Once the glasses are placed before her, she downs them each in one gulp::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@:: shakes his head ::  Jordan: I... I'm having a real hard time understanding this masochistic streak you've developed. Punishing yourself like this will change nothing. Only healing -- both physically and otherwise --  will bring you any real peace.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::motions to the bartender:: Bartender: Get me a large stein of Necti and Blood wine as well.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
Tourists: Get out of my way! ::She pushes some of the people away from her as she begins to walk back toward the beach::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The three victims are transported from the surface to Sickbay. A comm is relayed to the TO advising they have arrived.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looking around, sees Dawson heading back::

TO_Tribble says:
::goes back to shore and rests::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Nice work Ensign.  ::smiles::  Let's get inside until you dry off.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She stumbles as she walks and finally falls down face first into the sand::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices Dawson fall::  Self:  Oh dear...

TO_Tribble says:
::smiles at XO::  Thanks, Sir.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A rather foxy-looking squirrel heads over and sniffs Tribble, rather intimately.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She turns herself over and begins to laugh uncontrollably::

TO_Tribble says:
::sets phaser on lowest stun and points it at squirrel:: Watch it, buster!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  I think the Counselor is hysterical.  ::begins walking toward her::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::as the bartender gets what she orders and brings it to her she downs both quickly and orders more::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The squirrel scampers off, but not before tossing a large nut at Tribble.

TO_Tribble says:
::ducks::

@::yelling at him now, her mood having swung yet again:: CO:  How could you understand?  None of this happened to you!

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She pulls herself up and begins to walk down toward the shore... or perhaps hopping and stumbling down::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  Dawson.  What is your problem now?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Lights on Decks 1, 2, and 3 of the Pendragon go out.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Uh.... Perhaps you should....

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::as the bartender arrives with her drinks she grabs them and downs them again as before and orders more and tells the man to keep them coming::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
XO: Leave me alone Luchena. ::She places a hand on his chest, as if trying to push him away, but she does not exert any pressure at all::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::holds completely still and breathes in::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::it isn't long before the Klingon drinks begin to affect Maria and she is now feeling real nice::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The tall blonde begins whispering in the CEO's ear, suggesting the head off somewhere a bit more private.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  You're drunk.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@<Blather>::nervous:: All, what the hell is going on? Cascading failure...:looks at the board::

TO_Tribble says:
::observes CNS and XO and wonders if something is coming up::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She places a finger in his face:: XO: You know what... you think you're better than me. We'll let me tell you something buster! I am me!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::perceives a slight change in the lighting:: CO:  Did the lights just change?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: You're right. None of it happened to me. It happened to a person I love very much, more than I have loved anyone in eight lifetimes. I care about this person. When she hurts, I hurt. I love her so much that I won't give up on helping her deal with whatever has her in agony, even if she's given up on herself.

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Perhaps we should go......

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  Right.  Of course you are.  ::wraps his hand around her finger and firmly pushes her hand away from his face::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Yes. They just went out. Engineering is working on it. Are you starting to get your sight back?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  I'm afraid she might drown if she goes back in the water.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
XO: Don't touch me! ::She begins to shout:: All: Assault!!! Assault!!! Assault!!! Help! Help!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::lets go of the CNS's finger and steps back::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::hears a shouting in the distance and ignores it::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@CO:  I don't know ... I think I can see shades of light ...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::quietly::  CNS:  Since when do you need help?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::At that very moment, she collapses down onto the sand motionless::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Thinks:  Since now...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A small crowd has gathered around the XO and CNS, watching intently.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@<Blather>::works on the kinks in the enviromental::

TO_Tribble says:
Small crowd:: We have this under control.  Please move on.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Do you know her room number?  ::squats down and gathers the CNS in his arms::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Jordan: Good. Now will you _please_ let me take you to Sickbay? I would like very much to look into those beautiful eyes and know that someone is in there looking back at me.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::the bartender has stopped bring her the drinks as he sees she is quite drunk::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: No one moves.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She opens her eyes, not knowing what is going on, and begins to scream as if in pain::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CNS:  Hush.  ::lifts her::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Should we have her transported to sickbay, Sir?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A rather burly Klingon saddles up next to the FCO and escorts her to a table near the back of the bar, handing her another drink on the way there.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  No need for that.  She just needs to sleep it off.  ::pushes through the crowd towards the hotel::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::nods::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::does another shot with the blond::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::WindFire doesn't like what is going on and makes his presence known::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She takes one of her fingers and places it on his nose:: XO: You're cute when you're a man. ::Her eyes close and her head then falls back::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Klingon: Well thank you very much I will take that drink.

TO_Tribble says:
::follows::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::chuckles softly and continues towards the hotel::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: closes his eyes in relief ::   @ Jordan: Thank you.   :: stands, helps Jordan up ::     The emergency lighting is still on. That's enough for me to get us to the turbolift.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Klingon swats at WindFire, attempting to shoo the beast away.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::WindFire screeches and goes high and lands near his master watching for any thing that would provoke him into defending her::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::carries her up the steps::  TO:  Can you find out her room number?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::lets him lead her along::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@<Blather>:: Re-sets the main enviro-power circuit to reinitialize the lighting::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: I'll try.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Klingon tosses some dead, rotting thing at WindFire, hoping it will snack and leave him alone.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::heads across the lobby for the lift::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: ushers Jordan through the turbolift door ahead of him ::  CPU: Sickbay.

TO_Tribble says:
::goes to the front desk and asks for Jamie's room number::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Klingon: And just who would you be?

TO_Tribble says:
XO: Her room is 210.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Lights on Deck 2 begin to sputter back to life. Full lighting comes on seconds later on all three decks.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::WindFire doesn't bother with the rotting flesh and stays near his master::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: looks up ::  Self: About time.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  Thank you.  Why don't you go and dry off.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@<Blather>*CO*: Blather here. We seem to have solved the lighting problem.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into the lift::

Host Coot says:
<Klingon> FCO: I am of no importance. You look as though you are in need of a good time. ::hands her another drink::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::takes the drink and downs it quickly::

TO_Tribble says:
XO: I hope Jamie.... the Counselor.... will be better.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TO:  She'll be fine.  I won't leave her until she is.  ::rides up in the lift::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She tosses her cookies after the TO's comment::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: the turbolift deposits them outside Sickbay ::  Jordan: Here we are. Let's go find Dr. Servek.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::continues to hold her despite the smelly mess::

TO_Tribble says:
::returns to the beach for some peace and quiet::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::holds the Counselor’s limp hand up to the entry scanner::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::carries her into her room and tosses her on the bed::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Klingon: And how did you come to the conclusion....er...I need a good time?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She rolls over on the bed and begins to drool::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Some of the CNS's lunch manages to slide into the XO's shoe.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks down, sighs, and heads to the washroom::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::walks along ... still doesn't want this but doesn't want to hurt Albaron anymore::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::cleans himself up::

TO_Tribble says:
::walks along the beach, picking up shells and tossing them into the water::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::WindFire had just about enough of this and takes off into the air and makes a dive-bombing run talons first at the Klingon silently::

Host Coot says:
<Klingon> FCO: My mother doesn't drink anything that quickly. She said when I see such a woman, to take her!  ::grunts and begins pawing at the FCO::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::dampens a towel and returns to the bedside::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: as they enter Sickbay ::  All: Dr. Servek? I have a young lady here who needs your help.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
@<Lt. Servek> ::She raises an eyebrow at the sound of Sickbay's doors opening. She makes her way out of her office:: CO: Captain Thraxis. How may I be of assistance?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gently wipes down Dawson::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Klingon: And your mother is right about that. ::hiccups::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She begins to roll her head back and forth as her eyes open only for a few seconds. She sits up and then plops back down on the bed::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ Servek: Jordan's sight seems to be returning, but I'd like you to examine her and do what you can to accelerate the process, please.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::enters with the CO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::does another shot::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::drops the towel to the floor and flops down in a chair::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
@<Lt. Servek> CO: Of course, Captain. ::She motions to Biobed One:: OPS: Please take a seat, Commander.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::she takes the Klingon's hand and snaps his wrist back quickly:: Klingon: Keep your paws to your self! I am not that type of woman.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@::tries to find the biobed but can't ... feels her way around::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
@ :: helps Jordan onto the biobed ::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::WindFire is inches from his target::

Host Coot says:
<Klingon> ::grunts and stuns WindFire with a disruptor::  FCO: Yes, you are!  ::stuns the FCO as well before scooping her up and exiting the bar::
