Host Lt_Grey says:  ---------------------------- BEGIN MISSION ---------------------

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::Scanning the interior of the dome::

CNS_Lt_Sheridan says:  ::in the dome looking at Grey::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  ::Stands near the likeness of Grey::

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::inspecting the dome::

Host Lt_Grey says:  ::Looks confused and distraught::

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: I'm not dead ... am I?   ... Serena?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Grey:  I want you to concentrate and see if you can access the Library's personnel and command structure.

Host Lt_Grey says:  ACTION: The Historians' Planetoid moves to warp... destination unknown

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::sets tricorder to induce a harmonic in the floor structure::

CNS_Lt_Sheridan says:  Grey: Nathan, do you feel different?

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::checks the echo readings::

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::walks to where the crew is gathered around Gray::

CNS_Lt_Sheridan says:  ::watches Grey's reaction::

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: No... I feel the same as when I left everyone on the Bridge... we were just attacked by that test ship...

CNS_Lt_Sheridan says:  Grey: Specify. Test ship?

Host Lt_Grey says:  ::Grey's eyes glaze over again::  Sulek: Access from G-Sub-Units denied.

Host Lt_Grey says:  ::Eyes return to normal::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::searches for any local energy signatures

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan:  The Akira vessel.. the ones the Breen took over.

CNS_Lt_Sheridan says:  Grey: That was a very long time ago.

Host Lt_Grey says:  ::Looks at Sheridan and Sulek::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Gokaar:  Keep a scan on Grey, especially when he goes into one of his trances.  Look for anything out of the ordinary.

CNS_Lt_Sheridan says:  ::looks at the Captain::

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan and Sulek:  Your pips.... Captain.. Lieutenant.... what's happened?

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Aye sir

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::Sets tricorder to loop scan on Grey::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Grey:  Your knowledge seems to end with the ending of your physical life.

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sulek:... But I'm not dead....

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Grey: See if you can access the communications array of the Library.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir if his eyes are glazing over, maybe whatever is driving the image takes over

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sulek:  What library... ::glaze::  Access denied ::unglaze::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Perhaps we can piggyback a signal

Host Lt_Grey says:  ::Sits on the floor::

Host Lt_Grey says:  All:  I'm so confused

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir there appears to be an energy fluctuation when the glaze over occurs

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO:is there anything i can do to help?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Gokaar:  My hopes exactly.  If we can break the encription of the library...

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: Maintatin a tricorder scan on Grey - I'll try to set up a feedback signal

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::kneels next to Grey:: Grey: I know you are confused.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO:aye

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan:  ::Visibly trembling::  I can't be dead.... I'm here...

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::opens tricorder and starts to scan Gray::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: I wish you were back with us too..

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan:  How can I be dead?  How did I die?

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO:TO: getting human life signs from Gray::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::programs tricorder to piggyback a tracer bug on the signal to grey

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  ::stands near Grey::Grey: Lt, You are a Starfleet officer...we need you.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: Ack

Host Lt_Grey says:  ACTION: The majority of the Quirinus' crew suddenly vanishes...

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::looks around in dismay::

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sulek:  Commander.. I don't know how to help...

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::Looks around::

Host Lt_Grey says:  ::Looks up:: Sulek: Sorry.. Captain...

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: It was a terrible accident. You were killed in an anti-proton blast...

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan:  Was the ship saved?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Yes Nathan, you saved the ship..

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::continues to scan Gray::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir It would seem that the Antiproton radiation blocked the recording of Grey's death

TO_ENS_Zino says:  so:how is it coming?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::tries to comfort Grey::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: the program is set - all we need is another override incident.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Grey:  Even though you ended your corporeal life, you have been saved, intact, in an alien library.  Your memory ends at the end of your physical life span.

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sulek: I don't understand

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Nathan, you are part of this great library now.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::nods and continues to scan::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: If this "Grey" Is a recording - we need to find the source of the projection, Ideas?

Host Lt_Grey says:  All:  I'm dead?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::looks over at the Captain again::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Yes Nathan, I'm afraid you are.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO: i can set the tricorder to scan for em transmitions

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: But you are always in our thoughts.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Grey:  You were saved, much like a data file might be saved.  Your physical self in our time line is gone.  To us, you died.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: do it - look for very small wariences in the background noise

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sulek: This is an archive... a library... how do I know you aren't part of that library too?

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::stars tapping the tricorder:: SO: I'm on it

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Nathan, the Historian has created you in this form for our benefit I believe.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Grey:  You do not.  You must trust that what we say is true.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO:the EM scan show nothing

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Are you beginning to understand this yet?

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir although I have no data to back it up - We could be similar recordings - that was not a normal transporter we got here through

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: Keep trying - we need data about the override (Glaze over) Event

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Grey:  I need you to concentrate.  When you do, you are in contact with the library's main computer.  Scan the computer and tell me what you can access.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO: do you meen we could all still be on the Q?

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: Sort of... I'm part of a program

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Nathan, we need your help. Can you assist us in getting any information on this place?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Yes Nathan, that's right...now concentrate..

Host Lt_Grey says:  ::Glaze:: Object integrity fluctuating ::Unglaze::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: No - it is possible  - but unlikly that we are recordings made before the Quirinus and ourselves was destroyed

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::Checks tricorder bug program::

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO:aye

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: This place.... ::looks around::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Yes dear friend....what about this place?

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO: All systems are green

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: Any data?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::waits for Nathan's reponse::

Host Lt_Grey says:  ::Glaze:: Object integrity altered, perceptions reset ::Unglaze::

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO: I did pick up some kind of fluxuation when he glazed but it is nothing i have ever seen before

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan:  This place... is a data node.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: Let me take a look ::looks at TO's tricorder::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  ::move to Sereana::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Yes Nathan. Explain your function here.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::tilts head to listen::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::sees the Captain moving closer and nods::

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan:  Serena, I'm not a thing that has a function.  I maybe a memory store, but I'm Nathan Grey, regardless.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  TO: that's a small spike in the data stream

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO: Can we exploite it is some way?

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan:  This node is a trans-temporal node.  Existing here means almost nothing.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ZIno: I hope so

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Nathan, you are one part of this storehouse. We need access to the library records.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  ::quietly:: Serena: He seems to trust you.  Perhaps, you can connect with him.  But be very careful and prepare to break off if he will let you try.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::scans for tempral anomolies

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::nods to the Captain::

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: I have limited Access.. G-Sub-Unit Objects aren't even part of the command tree.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CNS: what do your mental abilities tell you?

Host Lt_Grey says:  ACTION: More of the crew vanishes...

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::looks at the SO:: SO: shh

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Do you trust me?

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: Of course..

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey:Can you access any technical data?

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: No..

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::reconfigures bug probe to take advantage of data spike::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: What can you give us?

Host Lt_Grey says:  ACTION: The Tricorder finally manages to piggyback and datastream into the library computers.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  whispers::CNS: A root directory.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  SO: Look at thease readings!

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir I've placed a trace bug in the library system - checking data.

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: Cultural data... planetary histories.. there is nothing about technology.. just documents of events, places, people, stories...

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Nathan, we need access to the root structure of the computer..can you assist us?

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan: No... I can't believe I know all of this.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  Gray: all of what?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Gokaar:  See if you can break the fire walls that protect this data node from central systems.

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Nathan, I know you are confused. Look at me.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Aye Sir,  I would suggest we try to find the power supply too!

Host Lt_Grey says:  Sheridan:  Serena.. there is nothing else.  Its one large encyclopedia

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir there are 5 layes of encryption on the fire walls  - this may take some time.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Gokaar:  Agreed.  If you can prepare to take the ship from warp.  You might also want to consider a virus that will keep the Librarian occupied.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Aye sir

Host Lt_Grey says:  All: Uh-oh

Host Lt_Grey says:  ACTION:  Grey dissappears..

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::looks up from tricorder::

Host Lt_Grey says:  ACTION: The Historian Reappears...

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::works on diversion program::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Grey: Alright, access anything on .......::sees Grey disappear::

Host Historian says:  Sulek:  Resourceful aren't we Captain?  Corrupting a data object.  How like the Federation.  Can't leave a thing alone.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  ::Crosses to the Historian:: Historian:  Who is your superior?

Host Historian says:  Sulek: One doesn't exist..

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Historian: Why did you create Lt. Grey?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Historian:  Then you take the decisions for your predictions and corrections yourself?

Host Historian says:  Sheridan:  I didn't, he just occupies the same data node as all of you.

Host Historian says:  Sulek: Yes.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::scans the historian using the configuration  of the SO  for Gray::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Historian: He is in another time line.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: I'm through the first 2 layers

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Historian:  Then you constructed the Library?

Host Historian says:  Sheridan: No.. he's part of the same data tree as you.

Host Historian says:  Sulek: No, the Library created me.

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Historian: You are a program?

Host Historian says:  ACTION: Gokaar's link is suddenly disconnected.

Host Historian says:  Sheridan: In effect.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir it seems to be just one big assosiation database

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Historian:  Access command structure...what is the library's prime directive.

Host Historian says:  Sulek: Won't work with me as it would a minor sub-object.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir I've lost the connection to the bug!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Historian:  For  my own curiosity then.  What is the prime directive?

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Sir is the librarian an entry in his own library?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::listens to the CO and the Historian::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Gokaar: In a manner of speaking.  A most effecient use.

EO_Ens_Majere says:  ::stands by the CNS and tries to figure this all out.::

Host Historian says:  Sulek: To gather information, and catalogue it.  Technology isn't that important.  Cultural cataloging is our prime focus.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::whispers:: CO: Sir I wonder if that pole he's carring in significant?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Historian:  Is the destruction of a civilization through use of the library within the perameters of the prime directive?

TO_ENS_Zino says:  Historian::The Federation has many dirverse cultures.How do you serve you Prime Directive by distroying it?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Historian: If you are collecting information, why do you want to destroy that which you seek?

Host Historian says:  Sulek: No.. but adequate storage is unavailable

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  Historian: Perhaps we cold help to provide additional storage?

EO_Ens_Majere says:  CO:  Sir, maybe we could try to help him expand his memory?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Historian: Is there no way to increase the storage data banks?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Historian:  Then perhaps you should link this node to one that is available.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  whispers CO :: Won't he eventualy run out of storage anyway..better to add space.

EO_Ens_Majere says:  ::nods to Zino::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Zino/Gokaar: ::quietly:: See what information you can gather about the staff.

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::wonders where the rest of crew has gotten to::

TO_ENS_Zino says:  CO:aye

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Aye sir

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::taps tricorder::

Host Historian says:  Sulek: You don't understand... with the Borg destroying the Federation, population in this region of space would have greatly decreased.  But the amount of data we constantly intake is superceding our storage.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::whispers:: CO: Sir  perhaps we should just grab it!

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Historian: May I see your staff? ::puts out her hand::

Host Historian says:  Sheridan:  No.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Gokaar: Perhaps you are correct.  Becareful, we don't know what its protections are.

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::whispers to the Captain:: CO: I think that is significant.

Host Historian says:  Sulek:  You have been catalogued.  Please get a grip on that idea, most of your crew's files have already degraded.

Host Historian says:  Sulek:  Accept your fate.

EO_Ens_Majere says:  self:  Degraded?

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::whispers:: Zino: you seen faster than me - I'll distract him with a feint  - you go for the staff - ok?

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  CO: Aye sir

TO_ENS_Zino says:  CO: What happens when they run out of space the next time?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Historian:  You have gone beyond the parameters of your own program. I suggest that you run a diagnostic.

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::grabs the Historian's staff:: CO: Here! ::throws the staff to Sulek::

Host Historian says:  Sulek: Their file priorities were low, so the system deemed them unimportant and allowed them to degrade to free up space.

Host Historian says:  Sulek: I am the library personified.

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  Historian: Do you agree there is a need for them now?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::watches Sulek catch the staff::

Host Historian says:  ACTION: The Staff vanishes.. and another one appears in the Historian's hand.

EO_Ens_Majere says:  self:  Wow.

Host Historian says:  Historian:  You all have been catalogued.  Please do make me remove you from this active node.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  Historian: Who developed the Library?

TO_ENS_Zino says:  Historian: How does the system tag a file for dedegragation to free up space?

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Historian: Is there any way we convince you to let us continue on our way?

Host Historian says:  Historian:  You all don't seem to understand... Object File Designations.

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  Self:: Well if I'm going, it's going to be in a blaze of glory.

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::feels strange::

Host Historian says:  Library:  Store Q-Unit Sub-Objects..

EO_Ens_Majere says:  ::hears CNS and steps toward her::

EO_Ens_Majere says:  ::whispers::  CNS:  What's your plan, may I help?

Host Historian says:  ACTION:  Everyones vision begins to fade as they feel themselves getting tired.

TO_ENS_Zino says:  :yipe

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  ::cannot seem to focus::

EO_Ens_Majere says:  ::blinks and puts her hand on her forehead::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::Curious!!!::

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::eyes getting foggy::

SO_Ens_Gokaar says:  ::Fights to maintain conciousness::

Host Historian says:  Library: Store units and raise system priority to permanent.

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::rubs her eyes::

Host Historian says:  ACTION: Everyone's Vision fades as they fall asleep..

EO_Ens_Majere says:  ::falls to the floor asleep::

TO_ENS_Zino says:  ::out cold::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:  ::falls to floor::

Host Historian says:  ACTION: When everyone is asleep.. they all vanish...

CNS_LT_Sheridan says:  ::falls to the floor and curls up, sound asleep::

Host Historian says:  Typical Human Data Stores, never accepting of their fates... Library Retract Node.

Host Historian says:  ACTION: The Node sinks back down into the planet as the Historian vanishes.
