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

Host Cootles says:
The Crew continued to uncover the oddities of Burzep IV. The survey team, along with thousands of others, had fallen under the influence of an entity of an Orb-like creature. Seemingly sentient, the Orb was drawing upon the life-force of the affected “observers” hidden within a shielded Temple.

Host Cootles says:
The shielding acted as a cloak, transport inhibitor, and negating field against scanners. Yet, it did allow the willing individual to cross the barrier between lush jungle and desert wasteland. Attempting to defend itself, the Orb unleashed a massive horde of observers on the Away Team's campsite.

Host Cootles says:
< < < < Resume Mission: Aftermath, Part IV > > > > 

ACTION: Mr. Luchena stalks the inside of the Temple as the remainder of the Away Team searches for a way to disable the Orb and slow the horde.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley closes her eyes for a split second as she thinks about her plan of attack. There basically was not one. They needed to get to the orb... and save the inhabitants. That was their orders after all::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::standing with Commander Yates::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::in a trancelike state::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::standing with the away team, listening::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
MO/OPS/CEO: We need to find the orb-like creature. ::She begins to head in the general direction:: MO: Be ready to scan the creature when we arrive. We need to find someway to incapacitate it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::Standing next to Ashley:: XO: We Don't have a whole lot of options as to where to put these people, should we free them.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Jose, see if the Pendragon can acquire a transporter lock on any of the inhabitants. I want to move them away from the orb, but allowing them to still remain on the planet.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::looks to Damien knowing he has a good point::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The horde destroys the majority of the camp site before moving on.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She inclines her head:: CEO: You're right. But for now, we just need to get them as far away from the orb as possible. Then, we'll remove it from this planet...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Aye. *Pendragon*: Damien to Pendragon.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::completes walking around the circle and stops::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::follows along::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> XO/CEO: It would seem that most of the natural inhabitants can stay on the surface I would assume?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@ *CEO*: Yes Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She motions for the rest of the Away Team to follow her as they move:: MO: As long as we are able to get the source of the problems off of the planet, yes. That is where you come in Doctor.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Can you get a transporter lock on the people that are being affected by the orb?

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::closes his eyes and raises his head towards the orb::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::points at OPS to do as the CEO asks::  *CEO*: Attempting now.  Please stand by.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::follows the XO flipping open her tricorder::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::walking along:: XO:  I don't have a weapon, by the way.  Luchena took mine.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Orb's pull has weakened, but Ashley and Mikal can still hear it beckoning to them.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: The Captain is trying to establish a transporter lock.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She continues to walk. With OPS' comment, she opens up her pack, unzips it, and hands the Operations Officer a phaser:: OPS: I came back prepared. Just in case. ::She places the pack back on her back:: CEO: Very good.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::contemplates diving in to the psychic network, giving himself over push the others out::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
XO:  Thank you Ma'am

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She continues to feel the orb. Ashley rubs her temples a bit:: MO: Do you happen to have a telepathic suppresser on you?

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::looks at the circle he's traced in the dust.  Imagines it is protective::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
OPS: Not a problem Ensign. ::She says in a very brief smile as she continues to walk::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::opens her medkit and removes a tricorder::  XO: No guarantee this will work Commander.  I've yet to narrow the specifics of the orb's control.  ::holding the tricorder over her arm waiting for approval::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::charges the phaser::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She nods to Heins:: MO: Let me have it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::keeps his phaser ready::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~Observers:  Wake up!  You are in mortal danger.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::administers the ingredient into the Commander::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@OPS: Report on the transporter lock.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The scattered Observers within the Temple stir slightly, but do not move from their positions.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She quickens her pace:: *CIV*: Yates to Luchena.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~Observers:  Wake up! Set yourselves free.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward Jose:: CEO: Any response from the Pen?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@R_OPS: Sir, I am able to lock onto those that are near the survey camp but none of those within the temple.  Shall I transport?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A single member of the missing survey team shakes his head suddenly, as though shaking off a dream.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Not yet. Though I would guess that locking onto so many people would be difficult under the best of circumstances.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~Observers:  Wake up!  Follow me.  ::takes a small step backwards::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: I agree with you Jose. That's why we'd make sure we did it in spurts.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::nods::  R_OPS: Erect a containment field around Holodeck One and program it's interior to reflect that of the surface.  Then beam them in.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Two of the Observers step away from the Orb and slowly walk towards Luchena.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@*CEO*: Vn'dor to Damien.  We are only able to lock onto those outside of the desert area.  Those we are beaming back to the ship...  the rest.... are up to you.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~Observers:  Wake up!  Retake your lives.~~~

Host Cootles says:
SCENE: The Away Team nears the desert to find the thousands of observers standing around it, encircling the entire camp.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Understood. Damien out.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: We can only transport those that are already out of the desert. The ship is beaming them up as we speak.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Two new Observers join up with the first two, apparently waking from the same dream.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She stops dead in her tracks:: MO: Do your thing Doctor. What can you tell me about the orb? ::She nods to Jose:: CEO: That's fine for now.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~Observers:  Wake up!  Throw off this dream of slavery~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::has been scanning all this time::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Away Team: We'll remain a bit in the distance for now. It doesn't make sense to strike until we know what we're up against.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::absentmindedly rubs his sleeve across his face.  Barely notices the blood::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::looks around curiously::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The four Observers who had broken away from the group suddenly break into a run.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She stares in the general vicinity of the temple as well as the mass of people:: MO: Can your scans penetrate the temple from here Doctor?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Orb unleashes several intense beams of light, crumbling the four who ran into dust. The Orb then "absorbs" the remains into itself.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::shocked::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::furious::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
Orb:  Take me you *#@ %#@#$.  Come on!  I dare you!

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
All: Well, there is no time like the present. I suppose we should start to walk through. ::She begins to do so, taking the lead::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::follows::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::attempts to scan the area::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
MO: Let me know when your tricorder begins to read the orb.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
Orb:  You parasite!

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::pulls his phaser and charges::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The horde encircling the area is quickly thinned out.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Observers realign and block Mikal's path to the Orb. Several rows of Observers stand between him and the Orb.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley walks through the desert with the rest of the Away Team, wishing they were at the temple already. She moves to Jose's side and whispers:: CEO: When we get there... one of us may need to stun Mikal.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::watches the realignment::  ~~~Observers:  It's a lie.  All a lie.~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I'd be happy to. ::big smile::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::drops his phaser to the floor::

Host Cootles says:
<Orb> ~~~ CIV: Enough of this. You must stop.~~~

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She smirks ever-so-slightly:: CEO: Wait for my order. But the time will most likely come. ::She continues to walk::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::defeated::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::still trying to detect the orb::  XO: I think the temple is too far away ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
MO: Not to worry Doctor. It'll come soon enough.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
Quinn:  I'm sorry.  I failed.

Host Cootles says:
SCENE: The Away Team quickly crosses the desert area and reaches the entrance to the Temple. The entire area is a blazing white that looks clearly artificial.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Golly. I hope I don't screw up and set it to kill. Been a while since I've fired one of these.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::covers her eyes from the glare::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::shields his eyes::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She does not say anything with regards to Jose's comment. She just continues walking and stops outside of the entrance:: All: Tricorder scans?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::can barely read her tricorder from the glare::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::falls to his knees::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She notes the structure itself and begins to examine it:: OPS/CEO/MO: Jose and I will be the first to enter the temple. On one of our orders, Ms. Heins and Mr. Smyth, you shall follow.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Observers quickly realign as a new batch of observers enter the Temple. A fine film of spores rain down from above and get caught up in the air currents. The spores are flying everywhere.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
XO:  Yes Ma'am.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Aye. I'm following you.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::eyes will not adjust to the intense light::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She nods and makes her way into the temple::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::inhales::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO:  Better let me go first, Ma'am.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::watches carefully, phaser at the ready::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She notes the appearance of the aCTO:: aCTO: Remain out here with the others.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: I am continuing to monitor for vessels, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She does not want the others to witness Mikal in a... well... crazed state:: aCTO: On my or Commander Damien's order, the team will follow us in.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::shudders trying to shake off the energy coursing through his every nerve::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Aye, Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
aCTO: Thank you Lieutenant. ::She continues back into the temple::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::follows::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@ Scully: Excellent.  When was the last time you manned the Tactical Station?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CEO: Be careful, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
ACTO: Thanks.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Last week, during the gamma shift, Sir.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::can't believe how alive and vibrant everything looks, how clear everything sounds::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Observers, numbering near a few hundred, step out from the Orb and take up a circular position, ready to face the Away Team.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::stumbles to his feet::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::nods::  Scully: Very good.  I hope you won't need to do what I'm afraid I might ask of you.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She notes the Observers, several hundred of them, and grips her phaser tightly in her hand:: Orb: We're here to settle this.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: I am fully ready to warn and then shoot down anything you order, Sir. ::looks intent::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::follows the XO in::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: We may need to stun the bunch of them from space. We don't have the firepower we need.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: We're ordered to stay here, Mr. Smyth.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::nods solemnly at the Ensign thinking that is always easier said than done::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She nods to Jose and motions for him to see if it is possible with the Pen::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
~~~XO:  You need to get them all away at once, or it will kill them.~~~

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::attempts to contact the Pendragon:: *Pendragon*: Damien to Pendragon.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She stares at the Orb, waiting for some sort of response. Ashley is glad that the telepathic suppresser given to her by Doctor Heins was working thus far::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
XO:  You  heard me.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::turns around and looks at Yates::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A static-filled comm barely reaches the Pendragon.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward Mikal:: CIV: I heard what Mister Luchena?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: We are receiving a comm from Commander Damien, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@*CEO*: Report Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She remains grounded where she is, watching the orb very very closely::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: Attempting to clean up the transmission now.  ::attempts to clean up::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
XO:  That's Captain Luchena, Commander.  ::turns back around the faces the orb::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Can you manage to focus a tight beam phaser on either the orb, or those surrounding it?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: We need to stun the horde

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::waits impatiently for orders::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She smirks:: CIV: Mister Luchena, I order you to stand down and meet the rest of the team outside.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::can almost feel the spores multiplying in his blood stream.  Wonders why the orb hasn't taken him::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: *CEO*: Will do Commander.  Get your team clear. ::turns to Scully::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: Sir?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: We need to clear out. The ship is going to try and stun them.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@Scully:  You heard Commander Damien.  Make it happen.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She nods:: CEO: Do your thing. ::She whispers, motioning to Mikal::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins>::Raises an eyebrow::  XO: Commander!  COMMANDER!!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Yeah. Leave him.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Mikal is showing little sign of movement.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Are you certain? ::She can hear some sort of screaming from outside::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::thinks of Quinn::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> XO: Scans shows that Captain Luchena's molecules are converting into ......    marble.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: Aye ::engages a widely-dispersed beam, directed at stunning the Orb people::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: It's either that or drag him out. I can't carry him.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Observers move in-step towards Mikal. Quinn materializes in the center of them and steps into the lead.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::watches::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She keeps one eye on the orb and another on Mikal:: *MO*: What do you mean? How can we stop the process?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She raises an eyebrow and takes a step toward the people:: All: Stand back! NOW!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> ::hearing the Commander wants to shout "How the Hell do I know?" XO: Unknown ma'am!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> ::monitors for bio-signs, showing success of the stun effort::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::steps back::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Quinn suddenly jerks forward and then back. There are now two of him standing in the Temple.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: Perhaps we should enter, after all.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Have the Pendragon do it now! We'll be stunned! There's no time for this.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Observers pay no attention to Yates and continue to step towards Mikal.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  Right.  After you.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::enters::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::grabs Mikal and begins dragging him away::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::follows::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  Well, that's something you don't see every day.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She attempts to push her way through the observers, and then assists the CEO:: *Pendragon*: Yates to Pendragon. Now or never.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: Indeed.  ::stares and then looks to the XO for orders.::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Mikal is absurdly heavy and slips out of the CEO's and XO's hands on their first attempt.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She notes the aCTO and OPS:: aCTO/OPS: Get out of here now! I'll explain why later. Run!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: No effect.   I am increasing...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Why is he so heavy? :: resumes dragging Mikal::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Scully increases the level of the stun beam::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks at Jose as she attempts to drag him yet again:: CEO: Heins thinks he is turning into rock...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::runs:: OPS: Come on!

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Mikal scrapes across the floor of the Temple, emitting an awful sound.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  You don't have to tell me twice.  ::runs away::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*aCTO*: The Pendragon is trying to stun the temple. Have them do so at all costs. Mister Luchena is somehow turning into stone... we need him back on the ship.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I think he is too.

Host Cootles says:
<Quinn_1> ::turns to the other Quinn and grabs him by the throat:: No! He goes!

Host Cootles says:
<Quinn_2> ::fights back:: No! He stays!

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She continues to drag him... or try to:: CEO: If we get him out we can transport him to the ship. He can't stay here.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*XO* Aye.  :: contacts the ship and gives the order to Scully::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: I could kill them all, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She snaps back at the Quinns:: Quinns: He goes with his wife. That is final. ::She points her phaser at them and fires at the one saying he stays::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: We can't beam him from here.

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Tactical scans shows phasers are doing very little to affect the Temple's shielding.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: Increasing the level.   ::monitors for effect and  Increases again.::

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::would scream but his vocal cords are too brittle::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@Scully: Do you think the orb is somehow interfering?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The second Quinn explodes into a swarm of dust upon being hit with the phaser. The dust scatters back across the floor.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: Sir, I am going to concentrate on the Orb.   Firing all phasers.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks at Jose:: CEO: Opinion - should we shoot the orb?

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::would cry but his heart is too hard::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::nods:: XO: I think it's the only way.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *aCTO*: If you'd like to help with some fire power.... please come back in.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Scully fires all phasers at highest level at the Orb::

Host Cootles says:
<Quinn_1> XO: Save him! ::crumbles into dust as well::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She nods, drags Mikal, and points her phaser at the orb:: CEO: Lets do it. ::She fires::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::runs back in::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::follows the aCTO::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The shielding around the Temple begins to fail.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::fires at the orb::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: The shielding is weakening.  It's down by 45%.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::Scully continues firing phasers::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@Scully:  Monitor shield power closely...  We do not want to disintegrate everyone inside when it fails.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::points his phaser at the orb and fires as well::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Within seconds of each other, the shielding fails and all phasers (surface and above) strike the Orb, It begins to glow a sickening orange.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::ceases fire::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::fires at the orb again::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Fires phaser at orb::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She notes the color change and continues to fire at the orb:: All: It seems to be working!

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::resumes fire::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Orb disappears from sight.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: The shielding has failed.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@Scully: Status of the Away Team?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: That should do it ::satisfied::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A Observers stop where they are and several of those resembling stone, slough off the hard exterior and appear fleshy again.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::stops firing::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> *XO* Status, Ma'am?

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Tactical sensors detect an enormous explosion on Burzep III.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Ma'am, look.  ::points at the Observers::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She notes the changes of the inhabitants:: *Scully*: The Away Team is fine Ensign. It looks as if the inhabitants are... returning to a flesh-like state.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: Sensors are picking up an explosion of terrific magnitude.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I wonder who created the orb. And why?

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::feels the blood flowing through his veins::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::looks worried::  Scully:  Was the temple destroyed?

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: A massive shockwave is headed for Burzep IV. It will reach the planet in 4 minutes.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::notices he is breathing::

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks at Jose:: CEO: I was wondering the same thing. It could have been a natural creature... one that we've never encountered before.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> *XO* We are picking up an enormous explosion.  Any indication there as to the cause?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley makes her way over to Mikal, noting his recovery:: *Scully*: The Orb has disappeared from sight. We're uncertain as to what the primary cause is...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::quiet reverence:: XO: It seems to be working. They are returning to flesh and blood.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: The orb is gone and the AT is fine.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Away Team: Fantastic work everyone.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
XO:  Thank you Ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
MO: Doctor Heins, what does your tricorder show with regards to the spores?

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::blinks::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The entire Temple vanishes from sight - similar to the effect of a holo-program ending. The lush jungle no longer exists and the desert seems to stretch on in every direction.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
::feels tears on his face::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@<Scully> CO: Should we get them out of there, Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley notes the change in scenery:: All: So this is the true terrain of the planet. ::She turns her gaze to Mikal, assuming that at that very moment, he would rather her remain away from him::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::points at Mikal:: XO: Does he always cry just for the hell of it?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
<MO Heins> XO: All traces gone sir.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::hearing Scully he turns to OPS::  R_OPS: Beam the Survey and Away Team up.  All planetary population to Holodeck One.

XO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: He underwent telepathic trauma... it is understandable at this point.

CIV_Mikal_Luchena says:
