CEOSiwiak says:
@CMO: Do a sensor sweep on the Captains postion, try and identify all life forms.

CSO_Toorain says:

@CEO: We could jacket the scan with tachyon beam to make the sensor's reflective activity stronger

Host CO_Snow says:
%*XO*: Have you any new information on these.....beings?

OPSHelman says:
%Crystal : Yes you do and that is why you have no knowledge that is why you should destroy yourself

Host XO_Kyle says:
*CEO*  Do they present any danger to the ship or AT at the present?

AS THE CRYSTALS RISE THEY REVEAL THEMSELVES TO BE A MASSIVE OUTCROPPING

CEOSiwiak says:
@TO: Do it.

CMO_Chris says:
@CEO: i got one life form

CEOSiwiak says:
@*XO*: Not as of now sir.

CSO_Toorain says:
%CO:Sir, at the rate these crystals are expanding within minutes they will engulfe the shuttle.

TO_Quag says:
@:: Jackets the sensor sweeps with Tachyons to make them more efficient::

CEOSiwiak says:
@CMO: What is it?

Host XO_Kyle says:
*CO* Captain...we've detected that the crystals exist in a 4th and 5th dimension and power an extremely powerful ship

Host CO_Snow says:
%:::backs up a bit as the crystals rise::

TO_Quag says:
@CEO: It is done

CMO_Chris says:
@CEO: i think a human but i am not sure

CMO_Chris says:
<it's>

CEOSiwiak says:
@TO &CMO: Scan for a ship in the area, if you can

OPSHelman says:
%Crystal : Yes you do and that is why you have no knowledge that is why you should destroy yourself

OPSHelman says:
%*XO*Can you activate the Veretron beam?

CEOSiwiak says:
@TO: Bring shields up just in case, yellow alert.

Crystalin says:
::begins to rise with Crystal_e::

Host XO_Kyle says:
*CO* Is everything alright down there? Mr. Siwiak doesn't think they are any danger at present...

Host Crystal_E says:
%Helman: were that true . then your race should never have existed

CSO_Toorain says:
%CO:Captain?The shuttle will soon be engulfed by the crystals.

Host XO_Kyle says:
*OPS* Yes  ::pushes a few buttons::

Host CO_Snow says:
%Crystal:~~~And what have you discovered in your years of PONDERING?~~ ::mentally spits the last word out:::::

TO_Quag @:: Activates tactical sweeps for possible hostiles, brings alert to yellow:: (Yellow.wav)

Host XO_Kyle says:
*OPS*  Beam activated.

CEOSiwiak says:
*XO*: I am bringing shields up.  This ship can be anywhere.

FCO_Halcy says:
XO: The Luzon has just raised its shield...should we do the same?

TO_Quag says:
@:: Brings the shields up::

AS THE BEAM ACTIVATES THE CRYSTAL FORMATION WINKS OUT

Host XO_Kyle says:
*CEO* Acknowledged. FCO: Bring our shields up as well...we'll lower them when the AT returns.

OPSHelman says:
%*XO*Yes

CSO_Toorain says:
%::Thinks:What?::

TO_Quag says:
@CEO: I suggest we move within range of the QIb's shields,

Host CO_Snow says:
:::hears XO's report and wonders about a ship in the 5th dimention:::

Host CO_Snow says:
<%>

Host XO_Kyle says:
*CO* Captain...?

CEOSiwiak says:
@CMO:  What's just happened, is the interference out?

TO_Quag says:
@CEO: I don't know how much beating these ones can take!

FCO_Halcy says:
XO: Done ::brings up shields::

CEOSiwiak says:
@TO: We have our own shields TO, we can handle it.

CSO_Toorain says:
%*XO:Did the scan reveal anything new?

TO_Quag says:
@CEO: I don't know how much beating these ones can take!

OPSHelman says:
%*XO*I think we will be coming up  now

FCO_Halcy says:
XO: Transportation by way of beam still is potentially unsafe

CEOSiwiak says:
@CMO: Scan the area for anything out of the ordinary.

OPSHelman says:
%CO : Time to go back to the ship

Host XO_Kyle says:
*CSO* Interference is gone from this region now...but...

CMO_Chris says:
@CEO: scaning

FCO_Halcy says:
XO: Actually, the interference just disappeared

CSO_Toorain says:
%*XO:Ackn.

CMO_Chris says:
@CEO: not yet

TO_Quag says:
@CEO: Plus if the QIb cloaks and we are within its shields we will be cloaked as well, so this might be a good idea!

FCO_Halcy says:
XO: and reappeared approximately 11.62 light years away

Host XO_Kyle says:
*CSO* It reappeared in another region.

CEOSiwiak says:
*XO*: Should we attempt to investigate this change (12 l/ys away)?

Host XO_Kyle says:
FCO: Is transport safe now?

CEOSiwiak says:
@TO: If the QIb cloaks, shields will drop.

CSO_Toorain says:
%*XO:Really?  Fascinating.::muses over this info.::

CEOSiwiak says:
*XO*: Should we attempt to investigate this change (12 l/ys away)?

FCO_Halcy says:
XO: Theoretically

Host XO_Kyle says:
*CEO* Let's get the Captain back to the ship first.

CEOSiwiak says:
@TO: This ship is fully fincitional including warp and shields.

TO_Quag says:
@CEO: But we will be cloaked with them, I think?

CEOSiwiak says:
@TO: Too much power.

CEOSiwiak says:
*XO*: Aye, standing by...

CEOSiwiak says:
@CMO: What can you tell me about this thing 12 l/yrs away?

CSO_Toorain says:
%CO:Now the crystals are gone, shall i fly us back to th Luzon?

CMO_Chris says:
@:: look on the ceo thinking he need a brake ::

TO_Quag says:
@CEO: I could take power from our shields and reroute it to the QIb's cloaking device, standard power transfer

Host XO_Kyle says:
FCO: Well let's not take any chances unless we have to. But if they can't get back by shuttle...I want you to keep that lock on them.

CEOSiwiak says:
::wonders if sombody higher will come and take this chair away from him::

FCO_Halcy says:
XO: Of course sir

Host CO_Snow says:
%CSO: Lets get out of here. Take us back to the QIb.

CMO_Chris says:
@CEO: unknow

CSO_Toorain says:

Host CO_Snow says:
%:::walks back towards shuttle::

CSO_Toorain says:
