CMO Halcyon says:
::back at the familiar helm...::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::sitting in a seat on board the shuttle::

AXO Guthrie says:
::sitting in the seat behind Rob, manning sensors.::

ACO Siwiak says:
CMO:  Time till we arrive?

CMO Halcyon says:
::runs fingers over the panel::

CMO Halcyon says:
ACO: Approximately 10 minutes.

ACO Siwiak says:
CMO:  Feel good being back into the seat?  ::smiles::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::running fingers over the sensor grid::

ACO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Can you tell me anything about these people?  Are they hostile, any special customs?

CMO Halcyon says:
::smiles back at ACO::

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: Nothing much is known, sir.....

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: First Contact was recently made.....

CSO Hawkinson says:
::RAEB:: ACO: Not much is known about them...we only just made first contact.

ACO Siwiak says:
ALL:  Yippie... be careful, I'm not sure how the water is over here...

CMO Halcyon says:
::looks out through the viewscreen::

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: .... Yeah.... Sure, sir. ::blinks::

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks at planet getting bigger::

Shamman says:
@::getting into robes of office ::

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: Sir.....

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO: They are a warp civilization, and they...don't get out much.

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO: We had to be pretty persuasive before they'd even let us come.

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: Tread lightly..... They're a very self-contained civilization and may be surprised by our... mannerisms.

Shamman says:
@::grabs the staff of his office ::

Native says:
::putting on the final touches of her dress for the festival::

ACO Siwiak says:
COMM Planet:  This is Lt. Commander Robert Siwiak of the runabout U.S.S. Hudson requesting permission to land.

CMO Halcyon says:
::watching their destination loom in front of them::

Shaman says:
@ COM: Hudson: Welcome to our festival, we have set aside a place for your shuttle just outside of the Festival grounds

AXO Guthrie says:
::listens attentively::

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: They sound  friendly.....

Native says:
::leaves her house and enters the festival grounds::

Shaman says:
@::sighs::

ACO Siwiak says:
COMM Shaman:  Thank you, we will arrive shortly at those coordinates

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO:Well...they seem pretty welcoming, now we're here...

ACO Siwiak says:
CMO:  Well, you heard the man...  right down over there  ::points::

CMO Halcyon says:
::nods and sets the shuttle towards the coordinates::

Shaman says:
@::leaves the rectory and goes to the landing spot appointed ::

Native Dom says:
::walks over to the Shaman:: Shaman: Are you ready for the ceremony, oh mighty one

Native Ghu says:
::participates in the festival and looks like he is having a good time::

CMO Halcyon says:
::feels a slight tremor as the shuttle breaks into the atmosphere...::

ACO Siwiak says:
ALL:  Feel free to bring a tricorder or something so that we can check out the place...

CSO Hawkinson says:
::shakes lightly in seat::

Native says:
::sees some of her friends and walks over to them:: Ghu:  Having fun yet?

Shaman says:
@Dom: indeed I am , it is not everyday that we do this... but the time is right

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: We probably shouldn't......

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO: Type one phasers, or nothing?

ACO Siwiak says:
AXO:  Yeah... still, it wouldn't hurt... no weapons though

Native Ghu says:
Native: Yes. I had heard many stories of the festival, but didn't know it would be like this! Did you just arrive?

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO: Understood.:: places his phaser on the console::

Native Dom says:
@Shaman: Are you not wary, of these God like creatures?

ACO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Have the runabout's computer keep a lock on us in case something happens and we need to beam out...

Native says:
Ghu: Yes.  Want to so me around.  My parents told me of this festival but words don't really describe it.

Shamman says:
@Don: I just worry that they would contaminate our secret

AXO Guthrie says:
::sighs at the average officer's insistence on weaponry......::

CMO Halcyon says:
::stabilizes the craft as it reaches its destination::

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO: Understood.:: Activates constant pattern lock::

Shaman says:
@::notes Shuttle landing ::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::gets out his tricorder, and sets it to record even if it's closed, before pocketing it::

ACO Siwiak says:
CSO:  What do sensors tell us about the area?  Weapons platforms of any type?  Anything?  Population...

Native Dom says:
@Shaman: I will help you watch, our society must be kept pure!

A MASSIVE POWER SURGE STARTS TO REGISTER ON THE SHUTTLES METERS

ACO Siwiak says:
AXO:  Well, you're the diplomat...

Native Ghu says:
Native: Certainly I will show you the sights! ::begins pointing and describing some of the larger festival items::

AXO Guthrie says:
::nods:: ACO: I am.

ACO Siwiak says:
CSO:  ?

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO: Sensors read negative on the weapons, and the population is...fairly large...quite a party down there.

AXO Guthrie says:
::stands and makes way for the exit::

Native Gir says:
@::is excited by all she sees::

AXO Guthrie says:
::steps up slowly to Shaman, unarmed.::

Native Dom says:
@::whispers:: Shaman: They wear pajamas, Master?

ACO Siwiak says:
ALL:  Look your best, and be friendly...

CMO Halcyon says:
::makes sure everything is secure, and rises::

ACO Siwiak says:
::walks to door::

Native Gir says:
Ghu: you'll save a dance with me later  ::smiling sweetly::

Shamman says:
Dom: I am sure that to them they are not Pajamas

ACO Siwiak says:
::opens airlock::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::quietly:: ACO: The total population of the planet numbers in the billions.  They have around 100 houses in each area, a smaller amount than we tend to have clustered together.

AXO Guthrie says:
Shaman: Greetings.....

ACO Siwiak says:
::steps out::

Shamman says:
::stpes forward::

Native Ghu says:
Gir: Over here ::points at a column like structure:: is the center column, placed in the exact center of the festival area.

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Greetings...

CSO Hawkinson says:
::walks forward, out of the airlock::

CMO Halcyon says:
::follows the ACO tentatively::

Shaman says:
Siwak: Greetings, no use your electrical devices now , tha Gerig has begun

CSO Hawkinson says:
::gently touches his tricorder to make sure it's secure::

AXO Guthrie says:
CSO: Turn it off.

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Of coarse, we shall turn them off...

Native Gir says:
::looks at the structure and sighs:: Ghu:  It is beautiful.

CSO Hawkinson says:
:opens tricorder, adn deactivates it::

ACO Siwiak says:
::nods to the others::

CSO Hawkinson says:
AXO: It's off.

Shaman says:
Siwak: I hope you shall not report on our customs too much, we have fear that others might contaminate our high holy festival

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Our communication devices-- in these pins-- are electrical devices.

Native Dom says:
@::Sees someone talk into a comm badge:: AT: You talk to the Gods?

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Well, have no fear.  We are honored to be able to come  ::smiles::

Shaman says:
Charles: then they shall not function until after

CSO Hawkinson says:
~~~AXO:I would advise, sir, against that...~~~

AXO Guthrie says:
::nods::

Native Ghu says:
Gir: And over here ::motions to a curiously warped structure:: is my favorite. It is mostly artwork, but can be used for climbing ::grins::

ACO Siwiak says:
AXO:  Handle this, I have to go back to the shuttle to check on something

ACO Siwiak says:
::walks back::

AXO Guthrie says:
::ignores Hawkinson::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::sighs, and deactivates his com badge::

Shaman says:
Siwak: It is almost time , will you join us ?

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Your rites will stay secret if you so wish it....

Native Gir says:
Ghu:  It is also my favorite.  You to have climb it.  ::laughing:: It is a nice climb.  the view is awesome of our city

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: We are simply honored to partake in the festival at all.

CMO Halcyon says:
::plucks off her comm badge and turns it off::

Shaman says:
Charles: after you see it , you will understand why

AXO Guthrie says:
::smiles and nods::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::wonders how large a mistake it was to deactivate all of their com badges::

A SECURITY OFFICERS COMM BADGE EXPLODES IN A SHOWER OF SPARKS

Native Ghu says:
Gir: We should probably join the others. I think the ceremonies are about to begin.

CMO Halcyon says:
::catches CSO's thought:: CSO: We can always yell...

Native Gir says:
Ghu:  Who are those strangers with the Shaman

AXO Guthrie says:
::whirls towards the SEC::

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: What happened......?

CSO Hawkinson says:
::whips round to guard::

Native Dom says:
@::looks at the AXO:: AXO: I would also like to we come you as a member of the people, Shaman: If you do not mind Master?

Native Gir says:
Ghu:  Ok.  ::heading that way::

CSO Hawkinson says:
SEC: Are you alright?

Shaman says:
Charles: I tried to warn you

AXO Guthrie says:
::controlling the alarm in his voice::

CMO Halcyon says:
::looks back and the explosion and goes to the guard::

Security says:
 ACO,XO: uh OK,, Sir, but this is toasted ::frowns::

Native Ghu says:
Gir: I do not know.... ::moves to catch up, while wondering what exploded::

AXO Guthrie says:
::nods unsteadily towards the Shaman.......::

AXO Guthrie says:
ALL: Turn off all electronic devices on your persons... under penalty of what you've just seen....

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: I trust our ship is safe in this appointed landing zone?

CSO Hawkinson says:
Self:It's all off.

Shaman says:
Charles: that is why we choose it , it is a partial hole where the fields are not as strong

CMO Halcyon says:
::helps the security guy to his feet::

CSO Hawkinson says:
Sham: Partial field? But the field is still there?

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Fields...? How interesting. ::smiles:: What have you documented of these fields?

Shaman says:
CSO: It stretches well out into space

CSO Hawkinson says:
Sham: Of course.  Our runabout is safe?

Shaman says:
Charles: who needs documentation of what all can see ?

AXO Guthrie says:
Shaman: In my experience, seeing is not understanding............. ::shrugs:: But it is as you wish.

Native Dom says:
Sham: We must return to the village, Master, you have to be their to open the main Ceromony, we must not be late!

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: I agree with your friend, we should probably away to the ceremony. ::smiles again::

CMO Halcyon says:
::rejoins the group after sending him back to the shuttle::

Shaman says:
Charles: We do not investigate what God Provides.. just revel in it , lest it be withdrawn...

ACO Siwiak says:
::listens to the others thoughts, then enters all that has happened into the shuttle's computer::

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: That is a wise notion.... Who said that?

ACO Siwiak says:
::exits shuttle without tricorder and turns off communicator::

ACO Siwiak says:
::catches up with the others::

Shaman says:
::leads towards the central Plaza where a great fountain with a central column sits in the middle::

Native Dom says:
Sham: Master, I am sorry to have to leave your side, but I must go, a messenger from the village has just told me my services are needed.

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  So tell me, what is this celebration for?

AXO Guthrie says:
::follows right behind the Shaman.......::

Shaman says:
Charles: why I did , centuries ago

CMO Halcyon says:
::follows the Shaman, interested...::

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Impressive.... We are not as long-lived as you, it seems. ::smiles::

Shamman says:
Siwak: We call this festival....er .. translated the Festival of Rejuvenation

CSO Hawkinson says:
Self: Does it make us young again?

ACO Siwiak says:
~~~AXO:  I've entered in all that has happened to the shuttle's computer, it will go back to the QIb in case something happens to us and it will inform SF~~~

AXO Guthrie says:
::begins to have an inkling that they refresh their life spans every festival.........::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::hears ACO's thought::

AXO Guthrie says:
::nods to ACO imperceptibly::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Interesting... we have met several races who do things quite the same as you do...

Shaman says:
::passes tables of sweet fruits and grabs one ::

AXO Guthrie says:
::mouths 'Baku?' to ACO::

Native Dom says:
I must go now, I have to eat

CSO Hawkinson says:
~~~ACO: Sir, what if they realize that you've done that? They wanted their rites to remain a total secret...~~~

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks over at fruit::

Native Gir says:
::heads for the center of the festival::

Shaman says:
Siwak: eat what you will ::gestures at food ::

ACO Siwiak says:
~~~CSO:  And it shall, as long as nothing happens to us...~~~

CMO Halcyon says:
::beholds the central column::

Native Ghu says:
::follows Gir::

AXO Guthrie says:
::picks up a fruit........ sniffs it.::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::RAEB, as he walks on::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Thank you

AXO Guthrie says:
::smiles to Shaman and takes a bite::

AXO Guthrie says:
::Nothing ventured......::

ACO Siwiak says:
::grabs one and takes a bite::

CMO Halcyon says:
::investigates the fruits and picks one::

Shamman says:
::puts pit in receptacle ::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::takes a fruit, and bites into it::

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: You have a beautiful planet here. ::nods at the view::

CMO Halcyon says:
::peels off a bit of the skin and holds it to the light::

Shaman says:
Charles: we have a long time to make it so

Native Dom says:
@Sham: I will see you latter Master ::bows to him, in symbolic fashion::

CMO Halcyon says:
::takes a bite::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Mmm, very good.  Your planet must be rich with several things we have never even tried before

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Again I am impressed by your wisdom... Many other cultures with take this allotted time to profit from and plunder their planet...

Shaman says:
Siwak: If you care for any , we will give you seeds and the data so you can plant a tree at your home

CMO Halcyon says:
::flinches at the sweetness::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::enjoys, and takes another bite::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Any interest in exploring the rest of the galaxy?  There are many things that can be learned from those out in space...  Thank you, I would like that...

Shaman says:
Charles: then they are short-sighted , we take a longer view

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: I'd be most interested in that offer of seeds. ::smiles::

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Your view is as long is it is benevolent. ::smiles::

Native Gir says:
::eating several of the different fruits, watching the strangers::

Native Ghu says:
::goes to the table of food, and picks out the two of the best fruits, brings one of the to Gir::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::frowns slightly:: Self: Something.....isn't....right...

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  It is a shame to only find people such as yourself spread so sparsely throughout the galaxy...

CMO Halcyon says:
::listens to the dialogue between the AXO and the Shaman::

Shaman says:
Siwak: we have studied your literature, and would like to ...but many would not dare... they do not want to miss Festival

Native Gir says:
Ghu: Thank you.  ::takes the fruit, Smiling sweetly::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::takes another fruit::

ACO Siwiak says:
::takes in all the minds around him for any negative feelings::

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Tell me.... Does the Festival represent more than spiritual awakening?

Shaman says:
Charles: to us it does indeed... and it only occurs when the signs are right

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: I wondered if there were any physical effects to this Festival. ::smiles::

ACO Siwiak says:
::takes another look around at all the other people in the area::

CMO Halcyon says:
::eats a little more and continues to listen::

CSO Hawkinson says:
CMO: Enjoying yourself? ::eats another of the fruits::

Shaman says:
Charles: why it is a rebirth to our hopes

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Do you mean offspring......?

AXO Guthrie says:
::feels inquisitive::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Well, I'm sure the Federation would be more than happy to have a diplomat from your planet come visit our council.  Our peoples can learn a great deal from each other...

CMO Halcyon says:
::nods silently, looking at CSO::

Shaman says:
Charles: Offspring ? Yes it is for them as well... although we all only have a child apiece,.... by choice

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks back at the locked shuttle behind him::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::frowns:: Sham: If you only have a child per couple, isn't your population always shrinking?

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: I have a child myself...... I am considering another......... What directs that choice you make?

CMO Halcyon says:
::wonders if perhaps it's the longevity::

Native Gir says:
::continues to listen to the strangers talk to the shaman::

Shaman says:
Hawkinson: Except for accidents we have a low , what do you term that ? ahhhh, Mortality

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks over at Gir and Ghu and smiles::

Native Ghu says:
::munches his fruit, and watches the goings on of the festival::

Shamman says:
Charles: why wisdom of course

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Your planet does seem to lend itself to rich, happy lives......... ::smiles::

CSO Hawkinson says:
Sham: Of course, but...if for every two parents, there is only one child...your population will always be shrinking...you could soon be facing extinction...

Shaman says:
::looks at moon ::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  So, has this festival started already?

CSO Hawkinson says:
Sham: But of course, in your terms, that would still be thousands of years down the line, probably...

ACO Siwiak says:
CSO:  I'm sure they know that... perhaps they live longer lives then us...

Shaman says:
Siwak: It has been going on since the announcement was made .... 5 days ago

AXO Guthrie says:
CSO: Think millenias......

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Ahh, I'm sorry to have missed the beginning... when shall it end?

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO: hundreds of years, apparently.

CSO Hawkinson says:
AXO: That is what i meant when i said "thousands of years down the line, probably"

Shaman says:
Hawkinson: not that I was aware of , of course, I have to check how old I am again... perhaps later ?

Native Gir says:
::smiles back at the ACO, reaches for some fruit:: Ghu:  Would you like another one?  ::offering the fruit::

CSO Hawkinson says:
Sham: Of course.

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Would it be ok if we looked around a little bit?  Perhaps converse with your other people?

Shaman says:
Siwak:  why with the event at its Center

Shaman says:
Siwak: but of course, but it will soon be time for the ceremony ...pardon me..

Native Ghu says:
Gir: Certainly! ::takes the offered fruit and eats eagerly::

CMO Halcyon says:
::growing increasingly curious at all this...::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Thank you, please inform me when it is to begin...

ACO Siwiak says:
Gir:  Hello, I'm Commander Siwiak from the Federation.

Shaman says:
::walks to the fountain where a bridge composed as a leaf from the column has lowered and formed a bridge ::

Native Gir says:
ACO:  Hello,  I am Gir.  what is Federation?

CSO Hawkinson says:
::follows Shaman:: sham: It's lovely.

Shaman says:
::walks across the bridge and inserts his staff into a niche ::

ACO Siwiak says:
Gir:  It is a group of many planets that have joined together to learn from each other...

Native Ghu says:
::watches Gir talk to the guy in the pajamas::

CMO Halcyon says:
::wanders a few steps and then stands next to the ACO::

ACO Siwiak says:
::senses something about... pajamas?::

Shaman says:
::walks back across the bridge and nods to the rest ::

AXO Guthrie says:
CMO: What do you think, doctor.......?

Native Gir says:
ACO: Ah  ok ::smiling:: You wear funny clothes

Native Gir says:
ACO:  Aren't you hot covered up like that?

ACO Siwiak says:
::frowns slightly:: Gir:  Yes... perhaps we do.  We have seen stranger...

CMO Halcyon says:
CNS: What do I think?

Shaman says:
::takes off cloak ::

AXO Guthrie says:
CMO: Yes....... ::smiles:: Of this..... ::waves to the entourage::

ACO Siwiak says:
Gir:  Not exactly... it is quite comfortable for my people.

CMO Halcyon says:
CNS: It's very...peaceful...

Native Gir says:
ACO:  Excuse,  I must go.  ::heads for the fountain::

ACO Siwiak says:
Gir:  Nice talking to you...

ACO Siwiak says:
::walks over to AXO::

Native Gir says:
::reaches the wall and takes off all her clothes::

CMO Halcyon says:
CNS: Although somewhat limited...

ACO Siwiak says:
AXO:  Where did the Shaman run off to?

Native Ghu says:
::makes his way toward the fountain wall, and climbs up on it::

Shaman says:
::makes various motions into the air in front of him ::

CSO Hawkinson says:
:watches the Shaman, curious::

ACO Siwiak says:
::turns towards the Shaman::

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: We should follow..........

Native Ghu says:
::disrobes, a bit behind everyone else since he was late getting there::

ACO Siwiak says:
::follows and nods::

AS THE SHAMAN MAKES THE MOTIONS AN ELECTRIC TENSION IS FELT IN THE AIR LIKE BEFORE AN ELECTRICAL STORM, THE AIR TURNS REDDISH

CSO Hawkinson says:
Self: Go to yellow alert...

CMO Halcyon says:
::hesitates::

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks around::  ALL:  Just stay calm...

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks back at the shuttle::

CMO Halcyon says:
::decides to stay with the group::

FROM THE FOUTAIN A STREAM OF YELLOWISH WATER WITH A PUNGENT ODOR ERRUPTS

CMO Halcyon says:
::looks up at the Shaman::

ACO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Uhh... is that sulfur?

CSO Hawkinson says:
::watches, slightly alarmed...::

AXO Guthrie says:
::feels the scent of ozone in the air............. followed by that smell.......::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::sniffs the air::

CSO Hawkinson says:
ACO:well, I can't exactly use my tricorder...but it smells like it...

Jim AGM says:
AS IT TOUCHES THE INHABITANTS GREY HAIR BECOMES VARIOUS COLORS AND WRINKLES VANISH

ACO Siwiak says:
::steps away from the fountain::

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: Fountain of youth.........

CSO Hawkinson says:
::watches, fascinated::

AXO Guthrie says:
ACO: By special order.......

ACO Siwiak says:
AXO:  Seems like it  ::smiles::

CMO Halcyon says:
::completely absorbed in this display::

CSO Hawkinson says:
All: Wow...

Native Gir says:
::feels wonderful::

THE OLDEST A MAN OF APPARENT AGE OF ABOUT 75 BECOMES AS A 21 YEAR OLD AGIN

ACO Siwiak says:
::reaches out and touches the mist::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::steps forward, and feels slightly rejuvenated::

ACO Siwiak says:
::wipes the residue on his uniform for later::

A HOLE APPEARS IN THE ACO’s UNIFROM

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks down::

ACO Siwiak says:
::runs hand across stomach::

ACO Siwiak says:
AXO:  My scar... it's gone...

AXO Guthrie says:
::nods........::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::watches, as old wounds are heeled, and feels the scar on his right temple...go...::

ACO Siwiak says:
ALL:  Amazing...

CMO Halcyon says:
::feels her skin prickle as the moisture seeps into her uniform::

CSO Hawkinson says:
All: That...is incredible!

THE FOUTAIN STOPS AS QUICKLY AS IT BEGAN THE AIR REMAINS AS SWEET AS AFTER A SPRING RAIN

ACO Siwiak says:
CSO:  Shhhh...

ACO Siwiak says:
CMO:  I'm gonna want some scans done later...

AXO Guthrie says:
::.............::

ACO Siwiak says:
::notices his uniform top is missing::

AXO Guthrie says:
::naked::........::

ACO Siwiak says:
CMO:  Once back to the ship..

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: Could robes please be arranged for us.......?

CSO Hawkinson says:
::realizes that he is missing part of his collar::

CMO Halcyon says:
::nods to ACO::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::suddenly realizes all of his clothes are gone::

CMO Halcyon says:
::rubs head and realizes the arms of her uniform are in shreds::

Shaman says:
::returns from retrieving staff: : Siwak: of course::

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks at his three pips on the floor, picks them up::

Native Gir says:
Ghu:  It seems the strangers decided to join us ::pointing::

CMO Halcyon says:
::and so is most of the rest of it::

CMO Halcyon says:
::frowns::

ACO Siwiak says:
ALL:  Reminds me of my wedding day...

Shaman says:
Hawkinson: Now I am sure of it , I have just lived 18 of what you call millennia

Native Ghu says:
Gir: Yes....they look very suprised though. Why is this?

Native Gir says:
::picks up an extra robe:: CMO: Here would you like this ::offering the robe::

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: 18000 years.......

Shaman says:
::nods::

CSO Hawkinson says:
Sham: Thank-you...I am sure your species will never die...

Shaman says:
::notes others bringing fresh robes for the visitors ::

CMO Halcyon says:
Gir: Thank you ::takes robe::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  I'll be sure not to tell many of this place...

Native Gir says:
Ghu:  I guess they are ashamed of their beautiful selves.

AXO Guthrie says:
::takes a robe from one of the offering natives....... A little tight on a Klingon::

CSO Hawkinson says:
::takes a robe, an puts it on::

ACO Siwiak says:
::slips into a robe, puts his pips into his pocket::

Native Ghu says:
Gir: That would explain their strange clothing. ::shrugs::

Shaman says:
Siwak: now you see why we are reticent to let others here ? There are many who would defile this

CMO Halcyon says:
::drapes it over herself::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  I understand... I will leave most of this from my report, as will my staff here.

AXO Guthrie says:
Sham: We will not even hint at the true nature of Festival.

Native Gir says:
Ghu: shall we ask them if they wish to join us in the dancing circle?

Shaman says:
Siwak: thank you , you and your staff are always welcome of course, We have much else to offer, long life lets one do decent research you know...

CSO Hawkinson says:
Sham: We will tell no-one what happened here.

Native Ghu says:
Gir: It would probably be good for them. They seem so uptight.

CMO Halcyon says:
AXO: Interesting, isn't it?  A society with no threat of death in such order, such harmony...

Native Gir says:
Ghu:  I agree :: slipping her arm into his::

ACO Siwiak says:
Shaman:  Agreed, and thank you for the offer.  I'm sure we may even have something for you...

CSO Hawkinson says:
CMO: It was lovely.

CSO Hawkinson says:
CMO: the harmony

CSO Hawkinson says:
CMO: The peace of it all.

CMO Halcyon says:
CSO: Indeed...

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks down and wrist and realizes his chronometer is back at the shuttle::

AXO Guthrie says:
CMO: Very serene...... ::smiles::

AXO Guthrie says:
CMO: Very interesting.

AXO Guthrie says:
::nods::

ACO Siwiak says:
::looks at Chuck::  Well, this would make a perfect second honeymoon for you and K'tyla  ::smiles::

Shaman says:
Siwak: We learned the hard way once I am afraid.... They killed all in that village trying to learn the secret... but the gods provide as they will

AXO Guthrie says:
::smiles - grins at Bob:: ACO: That it would...... ::smiles::

CMO Halcyon says:
