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

Host MO_Taeryk says:
The Crew went their separate ways for an extended leave. Eight months passed since the Pendragon returned to Starbase 14 for a much needed refit. Bruised egos and ideals sent the Crew off to seek refuge of their own.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
However, one strange little Doctor, with a strange bedside manner carried an even stranger little secret. His charge was to track down the Crew of the Pendragon and share his interesting news.

Host MO_Taeryk says:

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::on the bridge::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::stalks about the promenade of SB14, monitoring the whereabouts of the Pendragon crew::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::in the counseling office, disposing of Richard's tacky motivational posters::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::finds the person he is seeking has returned to the Pendragon::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::scrolling through a PADD on the ship's operational status::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::makes his way to the docking ring and finds entering this time will be slightly more complicated::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::messing around with a conduit underneath the operations console::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: Ensign...  are they going to work out the kinks the Starbase Engineers created anytime soon?

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stuffs another one into the waste reclamation unit::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  They being we, Captain.  They've all buggered off.  Now we have to fix their mess.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::quietly:: Self: Isn't it always that way?

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::seeing only one left.   Stands and stares at it::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::taps Comm. Badge::   *CNS*: Vn'dor to Luchena

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Yes Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CNS*: Have you managed to straighten out the new office yet?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::attempts to slip aboard the Pendragon with a group of others, hoping to go unnoticed::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: What is the estimated time till we are ready for departure?

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Just about.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: An alert on the OPS console signals non-Pendragon personnel has slipped aboard via the docking ring.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CNS*: Well you may as well take your time...  My best estimate is another few days before the ship is ready for departure.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::checks out the alert.  Doesn't bother to report it seeing as how they are docked, and people have been coming off and on for weeks::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  A few days at the least Captain.  ::crawls back under the console::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::checks the padd seeing he has tripped an alarm and quickly sneaks deeper into the ship, trying to avoid detection::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes down the last poster and disposes of it::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::sighs taking note that no intruder alert has sounded, nor have security personnel shown up::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::puts the PADD aside and stands::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::has now completely erased all traces of Richard Simmons from the ship::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: Ensign....  I'll be in my Ready Room should the Romulans come knocking.  Okay?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  Righto Captain.  Does this mean I have the bridge?  ::grins::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels a cold chill run down his spine::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::while walking toward the RR he looks back over his shoulder::  OPS: Yes, but no joy riding okay?  You still only have a learner's permit.  ::smiles and enters the RR::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::chuckles and gets back to work::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::decides not to think about it::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::steps off the lift onto Deck 5:: Self: ...should be... this way. ::starts moving down the hall::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::decides to experiment with the lighting levels instead::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::walks over to the replicator::  Computer: Caesar Salad.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Computer: dim lights 50%.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
<CPU> ::beeps accordingly:: CO: I have not come to praise salad, but to eat it!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::taps badge:: *OPS*: Vn'dor to Smyth.  There is something wrong with the replicator in my Ready Room.  Can you come in here and take a look at it?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: The lights in the Counselor's Office dim.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::thinks it makes the place look too much like a brothel::  Computer:  Increase lighting 25%.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: ...and increase slightly to look less brothel-like

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::hopes he's got it this time.  Climbs out from under the console and stands::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::steps to the door and presses the chime to the Counselor's Office::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyeing the red leather couch critically::  Door:  Come in.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
*CO*:  Be right there, Captain.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::gathers up his tools::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::hesitates before entering, but finally decides if he doesn't, the consequences would be rather unpleasant::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::enters the CNS's office::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::mouth drops open::  MO:  What are you doing here?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::rings the RR chime::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::wants to avoid looking at the man, but cannot help but stare at the man like a caged animal::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Door: Enter.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::enters the ready room::  CO:  I'll see what I can do, Captain.  ::quickly moves to the replicator::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Excellent question, Commander? ::eyes the collar suspiciously::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  You of all people shouldn't be surprised.  ::frowns at the Andorian::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::pokes at the panel::  CO:  What exactly happened?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: I am afraid my travels have kept me "out-of-the-loop" as the saying goes. Regardless... it is irrelevant. ::pauses momentarily::  I have news for you.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::from his desk::  OPS: I ordered a salad and the computer beeped in acknowledgement before saying something like 'Not coming to praise salad but eating it"

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  Did it produce a salad, Captain?  ::looks at the Captain carefully, checking for bits of greenery around his face::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  What is it?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::shakes his head with his arms extended to the side and looking around his desk::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: It is in regards to your son. Who is due in a matter of days if my timing is accurate.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  Right.  Well..... just give me a minute.  ::pokes at the replicator display panel::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: A small bowl of something resembling a wilted salad appears.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  A son?  It's a boy?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: I am sorry. You were unaware?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns back to his console going over the Engineering Reports of the Refit...  realizing full well his engineering experience does not include the recent models with the Neural Gel-packs::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Not until this moment.  What else do you have to tell me?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: My apologies for breaking the news. However, there is something that would be classified as a problem.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::thinks he's got it::  Computer.  Cracker Jacks.  Glass bowl.  ::watches the replicator closely::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises his eyebrow at the OPS Officer's replicator request::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO: Did you have to choose now for the first time in your life to be polite.  What the hell is it?!

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: A glass bowl full of playing jacks appears. They are covered in gooey caramel and peanuts.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::noticing what replicated he chuckles::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::looks at the bowl and frowns::  Self:  hummm....  ::rubs his chin::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Very well you intolerant fool. The child does not belong to Cmdr Yates.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the MO suspiciously::  MO:  Then how did it get inside of her?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::picks up the bowl and tosses it into the waste unit::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::holds a medical padd motioning towards Mikal::  CNS: That's just the problem. Whatever occurred to her, she became unstable at a molecular level. When she "reassembled" she brought back more than Ashley Yates.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::pipes up with a grin::  OPS: All fixed now Ensign?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::rechecks the replicator program::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Brought back?  ::accepts the padd and looks at it::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  It might just be specific to the Cracker Jack program.  Let's try something else.... what do you want, Captain?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: The padd reads the child is 50% Betazoid and 50% Vulcan.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: How about a cup of coffee...  Black

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks up at the MO in shock::  MO:  Who is the child's mother?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  All right.  ::takes a deep breath::  Computer:  Coffee.  Black.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: The Vulcan genetic markers come from a female. The Betazoid markers are yours. I imagine you can think of a possibility.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::softly::  MO: Kerina....

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::holding his breath as he waits for the replicator to spring to life::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: Bit of a delay going on there Ensign.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::things begin to fall into place::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: The replicator produces an insanely large cup of black coffee. It is nearly double the standard size and room temperature, at best.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::takes the huge cup from the replicator and hands it to the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises his eyebrow thinking he'll be up all night now::  OPS: Thank you Ensign.  Can you see if you can get me a Caesar Salad now?  ::taking the cup::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  This is Quinn?  He's to be reborn?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::takes a sip from the beverage expecting it to be hot::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: When he left, and then she left, they left the continuum in different places, but found each other somewhere else in time. ::sighs heavily::  Quinn inserted himself in embryonic form into her. He broke more temporal laws than I can even fathom.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Needless to say, he will be considered a criminal from the time of birth.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
Computer:  Caesar salad.  ::overly confident it will work::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  He'll be hunted?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
having sampled the coffee he decides not to over-react while calling Smyth and still staring at the cup::  OPS: Mr. Smyth?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  Yes Captain?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: The replicator produces the perfect Caesar salad, complete with a toga shaped flour bowl.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks from the cup toward the Ensign::  OPS: This coffee is cold.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  I'm sorry Sir.  ::picks up the salad and offers it to the CO::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Hunted? Depends on who else this information reaches. As of right now, five people know of this.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::smiles weakly::  OPS: Thank you.  ::samples the salad::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Is one of them Ashley Yates?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: No. She has not been told. She has no legal rights to the child, technically.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: I doubt you would want me to inform her of this.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  No....... but she'll find out who his real parents are.  She won't let go of him without doing so.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  How is your salad, Captain?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Standard medical testing will occur at birth. Numerous questions will be raised. Questions for which she cannot answer.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::chews and then swallows what he had in his mouth::  OPS: You seemed to have that part right.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  I'll have to get him away from her.... take him somewhere safe.  ::begins to pace the office::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::grins::  CO:  I'll just fine tune 'er and be out of your way.  ::pokes at the replicator console::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Have you answered the question yet?

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stops pacing::  MO:  What question?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Who are "The Five?" Surely it betrays your master plans.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  All right.  Who are the five and who sent you to tell me?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: No guesses.  ::sighs::  He said you would disappoint me.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Someone beyond time

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  The man who sent him back to me once before.  One is Rofax?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Correct.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  That should be it, Captain.  I'll be on the bridge if you have any further problems.  ::picks up his tools::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: Thank you Ensign.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::leaves the ready room::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Two others stand here. Quinn is the obvious fourth.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  And who are the others?  You, Kyrron... who else?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::sits at the operations console and powers it up::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Ah yes, the Captain. She said you may react in this manner.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  I know how you love to make people suffer, Taeryk.  Just tell me.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::initiates a diagnostic routine and waits::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: My counterpart here on the Pendragon. A medical officer needed to be informed, due to the "complications" of the situation.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Ah.. Servek.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Technically, Kyrron is avoiding being informed, she is choosing to ignore my information.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  And then Yates will know... and knowing her she will take it before a court.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::reads the readouts as they scroll across the display::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
:: enters the bridge, takes Tactical station::  OPS: Anything going on?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: The information is classified and she is under orders not to disclose the information. I am counting on Vulcan logic to keep that information secured.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Yates will know... then everyone will know.  Will that put Quinn at risk?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::finishes up the salad and goes to retrieve that coffee he never received::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: I am also considered a fugitive at this point as well.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Can you get yourself to safety?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::returns from the replicator and places the cup on the desktop::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Your old friend is supposed to be stopping by to aide in my escape.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::going over the results of the diagnostics on the operations console of the bridge::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Which old friend would that be?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: Anything interesting?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::grumbles:: aCTO:  Bloody station engineers...   ::works on the console::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: Mr. Rofax should be opening a portal within the next seven minutes. At which point, I must excuse myself, for fear of endangering Quinn.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::takes the mug with him back to the bridge....  Hates being stuck at Starbase while they work out the bugs::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Opening a portal where?

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Computer:  Lock door.  No one is to enter through it.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
::takes a big step to his left:: CNS: Right there. ::nods to a spot one meter to his right::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Seven minutes.  I can't thank you enough Doctor.  Why risk yourself to get this news to me?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: The Computer beeps in the background of the CNS's office.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley makes her way into the Starbase's Sickbay with a smile on her face::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: If you understood Kyrron's relationship to Rofax, you understand the bigger risk is to take no action.

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::grateful that the counselor’s office is one of the few places on the ship with no internal sensors::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  Oh... we had a security alert earlier.  Unauthorized entry onto the ship.  Under the circumstances I didn't pursue it.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She walks over to one of the Nurses and takes a seat on the Biobed, ready for her hopefully last check-up for a while::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps onto the bridge and anticipates a room full of confusion::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> ::Servek enters the Starbase Sickbay as if she owns the place::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: I will check with Ens. Scully.  Thank you.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::nods at the CO then focuses back on the operations panel::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  I figured with all the comings and goings it was nothing to worry about.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: I see you obeyed me and avoided all joy rides.  Good for you.  If you continue to be good you can have her next Saturday night.  ::smiles::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Well... I don't, so I can't.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> ::She looks around for Commander Yates with a look of anticipation on her face, which is not commonly seen in a Vulcan - especially not one like Servek::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::chuckles::  CO:  Thank you Captain... maybe a quick spin around Risa.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves to his seat with his coffee in tow then notices Tribble::  aCTO: Lieutenant.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::smiles sitting::  OPS: The weather on Risa is nice this time of year....  but then of course it's nice ANY time of year.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Yes, Captain?

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders if he'll see Rofax when the portal opens::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> XO: Commander Yates! We need to speak. It is a matter of great urgency. ::She looks around Sickbay, noting the pips of the officers:: All: Everyone vacate this area. That is an order.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
aCTO: Just welcome to the bridge Lieutenant.  Happy to be back at work?

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley watches as Sickbay is cleared, wondering what the heck is going on:: Servek: What is this all about Doctor?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: Well, I don't know that Happy is exactly the word.  Ens. Smyth has just informed me we had an unauthorized entry.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: An alarm goes off at the OPS console. Subspace and temporal disturbances detected on Deck 5.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek>  ::Servek notes everyone has now left:: XO: Something came to my attention several weeks ago that you may be interested in. I have struggled with this knowledge. Logically, you have to know. ::She hands Ashley a PADD::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
Self:  Hummm... CO:  We may have a problem.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CO: I am checking to see what Ens Scully knows about it.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley takes the PADD and begins to examine it very closely::

Host CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at Taeryk. MO:  Do you understand what's going on?  Why this is happening?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs::  OPS: What now?  the Officers Mess is no longer serving synthehol?

Host MO_Taeryk says:
CNS: I see my time has come to an end. ::looks to the milky white cloud forming in the center of the office::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::At first Ashley's expression does not change. After a few more moments, her eyes begin to widen a bit. Then, her face turns a rather dark shade of red. However, she has yet to say anything at the moment about what she is reading::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:  
*Scully* There has been a report of an unauthorized entry.  Considering what happened to Commander Yates, please carry out every possible effort to check up on this.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> XO: Commander?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  There's anomalous readings on deck 5.  I'm dispatching a crew to double-check the readings.  ::does so::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::At that point, her face is now pale:: Servek: Yes Doctor?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::takes a sip of coffee::  OPS: Likely a glitch in the internal sensors

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek>  XO: Do you...

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  That's what I'm thinking.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley cuts her off:: Servek: You know as well as I do that I am competent enough to know what this PADD says.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
MO:  Thank you again.   Most... ::stops::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
<familiar voice> ~~~ CNS: Hello friend.~~~

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
*Scully* There are odd readings on Deck 5.  Send someone there immediately.  Keep me informed.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::quietly::  Self: Certainly nothing else is working correctly.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Servek: You are dismissed. ::She stands up from the Biobed and leaves the Starbase's Sickbay::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Voice:  Captain Rofax?~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::takes another sip::

Host MO_Taeryk says:
ACTION: Taeryk steps quietly into the cloud and vanishes from sight. The anomaly is gone.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek>  ::She follows Ashley out of Sickbay:: XO: Commander Yates. I believe it would be imperative that you report to Counseling so that you may discuss what has just happened.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  It's cleared up now, Captain.

Host MO_Taeryk says:
<familiar voice> ~~~ CNS: Peace and strength.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  OPS: Just as I thought...  Send a request to the Engineering team to have a look at the sensors in that area

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She turns and looks directly into Servek's eyes:: Servek: And do what Lieutenant? Speak to my ex-husband about a child I technically have no genetic rights to? ::She speaks in a calm and slow voice:: Servek: I said you're dismissed.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels him leave::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Computer:  Unlock door.  Allow standard office access.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
CO:  Will do.  ::forwards the request to Engineering::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> *aCTO* There's nothing odd on Deck 5, Ma'am.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She can feel tears roll down her eyes as she walks through the Starbase toward the Pendragon:: *CO*: Commander Yates to Captain Vn'dor.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Computer beeps accordingly and a soft hissing sound is heard. It is the only noise on Deck 5 as the CNS seems to have forgotten he is allowed to breathe.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hears an oddity in Yates' voice::  *XO*: Yes Commander.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::flops on the couch in a daze::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::wonders if they'll ever get all these bugs out::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She notes that several officers are watching her as she walks through the Starbase. Ashley is sooo ready to snap at them, but holds it together the best she can:: *CO*: I would like to speak to you about a matter of great urgency. Could I meet you in my Quarters?

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek>  ::She taps her Combadge:: *CNS*: Doctor Servek to Counselor Luchena.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*XO*: My Ready Room is available Commander

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders if the whole thing was an hallucination::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: I... I don't think I can physically make it up there Captain.

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  You know... I don't think that temporal fluctuation was just a sensor glitch...  ::continues to look over the logs::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek>  ::She waits for a few more moments before comming the Counselor again and again::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*aCMO*:  Yes Doctor?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: Oh?  What should we be looking for?

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> *CNS*: I would like to speak with you for a moment Counselor. I have information concerning your unborn child.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::wonders what there is to "making it up here....    take a dang turbo-lift::  *XO*: Should I quote Starfleet directive One-Nine-Seven Stroke Four...  where it states official business between two officers of opposing sex must be made outside of private areas?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> *aCTO* We're continuing the search for the intruder.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*aCMO*:  I know Doctor.  And I will expect you to inform me the minute Commander Yates goes into labour.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::teams of Security personnel are searching all decks for the intruder::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She pauses for a moment:: *CO*: I know the regulations clearly Captain. This matter is of a personal nature. However, if you wish, I will take it to the Counseling Department. ::She is soo lying about Counseling, but does not care at this point::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  I don't know.  The disturbance seems to have been somewhere between Sickbay and the Counseling Office.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek>  *CNS*: As you are aware, I am required to report this information to Starfleet Medical.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*XO*: In that case, I'll be outside your quarters in 5 minutes.  Vn'dor out.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Trace evidence of the intruder and the anomaly are disappearing from sensors as well. Minor temporal disturbances keep cropping up all along Deck 5 and particularly inside the Counselor's office..

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: Thank you.  *Scully* Ens Scully, concentrate your team on the area between Sick Bay and Counseling.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She enters the Pendragon and makes her way to the Turbo Lift. She cannot help but feel extremely heavy all over::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*aCMO*:  Where it will remain a confidential medical record.  Understood?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::stands::  aCTO: Lieutenant, you have the bridge.  ::as he passes Tribble he whispers::  Watch Smyth...  I think he has his eye on you.  ::smiles and then departs::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::overhears::  aCTO:  Either or both.  Could have been one, the other or in-between.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: What?

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::eyes the CO::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> *CNS*: That is not my decision to make Counselor. Starfleet Medical, and I assume Intelligence, will decide on the matter. However, I will do my best to ensure that it remains classified while it is in my care.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::arrives outside Yates' quarters and rings the chime::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*aCMO*:  Are you threatening me Doctor?  Must I remind you that even SFI cannot access medical records without a damn good reason.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She looks down at her stomach and feels as if she is going to gag. Ashley formed a bond with Quinn... but never wanted to carry the child of two others inside of her. She exits the Turbo Lift and makes her way toward her Quarters::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  It's difficult to localize.  ::shrugs::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully's team is scanning the area in minute detail::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<ACMO Lt Servek> *CNS*: This matter is out of my hands Counselor. You are thinking illogically and irrationally at this time. I was informing you of my requirements. You may take the rest up with Starfleet Medical. However, you and I both know Starfleet Protocol. They will do as they see fit. I am only stating the facts. If you wish, I can... as you say... sugar coat it.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Orders have just come in from Starbase OPS that another (make that #14) formal reception will be held in honor of the crew's efforts on Burzep IV.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::senses someone out in the corridor::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::rings the chime again then notices Yates moving down the corridor::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
Self:  Not again....

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::takes a single step toward her::  XO: Commander.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She reaches the entrance of her Quarters:: CO: Captain. ::She orders the door open and makes her way inside::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
::forwards the order to the senior staff, low priority::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Please come in. ::She immediately makes her way over to the couch and takes a seat::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps just inside the doorway::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scully finds traces of temporal matter and Andorian DNA.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She cannot help but break down:: CO: I'm sorry Captain... I... I just have no one to turn to right now. No one I can trust...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looks around having never seen the inside of her quarters before, then finally makes his way over to an adjoining couch::  XO: Is everything okay?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::exits the counseling office.  Sees Scully scanning away::  Scully:  What are you doing?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> *aCTO* We have found something.   Temporal matter.  And..... DNA from an Andorian.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::resists the urge to roll his eyes::  XO: I can't help you unless you tell me what is bothering you.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully>: CNS: We are looking for an intruder.  We have found traces of Andorian DNA and indications of temporal matter. He or she was here.

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She looks up at Vn'dor with a very weak expression on her face. She can sense his skepticism, but ignores it:: CO: I know your skeptical of me Captain. But... I just... ::She finally composes herself and just says it:: CO: I'm carrying Commander Luchena's child... but not my own.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Scully:  He.  I had a visitor.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scully's findings quickly change to say it was plant bio-matter and Klingon DNA instead. Then the readings change once again.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully>: Sir? Temporal.....   ?  What the.... ::stares at her scanner while it changes the Andorian DNA to plant and then to Klingon.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices Scully's tricorder readouts going nuts::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Scully:  You might want to get that unit fixed.  ::pops back into the counseling office.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow::   XO: How is that possible Commander?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scully's findings change a final time to something entirely different then any of the other readings, then report that nothing was found at all.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
computer:  Reduce lighting 40%.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The lights return to "brothel" setting in the Counselor's Office.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sits back on the couch and tries to come to grips with reality::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully looks after the CNS and scowls as the scanner changes again::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: That is an answer I don't have at the moment Captain. ::She pauses for a moment:: CO: The child is half Betazoid and half Vulcan. Quinn Luchena.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Quietly to self:  It is true...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::Scratches at his head::  XO: Neither of you have any Vulcan DNA.  How did you come about this information?  Have you spoke to Doctor Servek about it yet?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Chief Starler> Scully: Look at that!   ::points at the "Brothel" lights.::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Yes Captain. The child is from another one of his wives. One whom he married in... or under... different circumstances.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully scans the brothel sign::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She takes a deep breath as she comes to a realization. This was not a child she would be able to have any ties with. None at all. Mikal considered her a monster, but knew that he would be just the same::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::doesn't know why, doesn't know how... doesn't really care::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
XO: Then how....?   ::continues to be dumbfounded::  I'm assuming the timing is correct?   I mean...  it's been nine months roughly since you and...  when Commander....   I mean....

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> : *Mulder* Mulder, bring your team to the Counselor's office.  There is something very odd going on.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::let's go of the future he was expecting...tries to imagine the future he will have::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She pauses:: CO: No... I could not truly remember a time. And now things are completely different sir. I have no rights to this child. He has complete rights... he and... the true mother.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::overwhelmed with joyous possibilities::

OPS_Ens_Smyth says:
aCTO:  Well, that's it for me.  I'm off shift.  Want to meet for a drink later?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Mulder arrives, looks at the brothel sign, and sounds the chime on the Counselor's door::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
OPS: Sure.   I'll see you later. ::smiles::

XO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::She takes in a deep breath:: ~~~CNS: You can have your child Mikal. But I never want to see you in my life again. Never again.~~~ ::She projects several different emotions to him before finally closing her mind completely to him. This was it. She would not be selfish any longer. She would leave the man who caused her so much pain and despair::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Ashley doubles over in intense pain, clutching her lower abdomen. She is clearly in the beginning stages of labor.
