Transcript:  USS Quirinus
SD:  10012.11
Episode: “  “  2000 fleet-wide mission

ACTION: The Quirinus nears Doman IV in the Doman System, accompanied by a Doman Attack Ship.  Both ships enter orbit for the Quirinus to begin her mission.

-------------------------------- BEGIN MISSION --------------------------------

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::En route to the bridge::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::at Sci 1 refining the sensor search algorithms::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::at TAC:

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::stands near the back of the bridge, still sporting a shiner under his right eye::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::on the bridge at the ENG station, checking in and starting his shift::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge:: Ops: Contact Doman Government.

CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::watches her staff carefully for any clue as to whom had been the one to lock her in the closet::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::starts a search on subspace bombs::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::adjusts sensors to allow veraron scans in parallel with the other search criteria::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: exits the TL and hurries to his station nervously ::

CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::looks in the direction of the supply closet and can feel her anger start to rise again::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::walks over to TAC and approaches the CTO for the first time since the away mission:: CTO: Do you know much about subspace bombs?  It’s crazy if you ask me.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: hails the Doman Government ::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
Everitt: Looks like the potential damage is incredible.  If they do indeed have one, we must find it.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Sir - Sensors are not showing any anomalous subspace related signatures

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Doman Official> COM Quirinus: This is the Doman Planetary Government how can I assist you?

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Having arrived on the bridge, watches from behind::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
DO: I am Captain Sulek.  We are trying to trace the whereabouts of an educator named Burfut.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
COM Doman Official: This is the U.S.S. Quirinus. We're currently investigating a man by the name of Burfut... would you happen to have any information on his whereabouts?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
Gokaar:  What are the chances of beaming the bomb and not rematerializing it?

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CTO: But how can I prepare the ship for something like this... the shields fold like paper against subspace weapons

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<DO> COM Quirinus: Ah yes, we've expected your arrival.  We have been unable to locate Burfut, however we have found where he is living.  He's living in the Old Quarter of the Capital City.  We were about to send Security Forces to investigate if you would care to join them...?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CTO: Limited - I would assume that a sensor would detect the confinement beam and explode the weapon

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: quickly quiets self, noticing the Captain dealing with the Doman official ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*DO* Affirmative.  Expect an away team at coordinates you specify.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CTO: I would suggest that you look towards a portable static warp shell generator - It would contain the weapon and its effects

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::turns and watches the viewscreen intently::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
EO: I don't think we can, ensign.  Our best hope is to not let it explode.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: glances up at the Captain ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Patches into the planetary database for biometric data on Burfut::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<DO> COM Quirinus: We are sending the coordinates now.  It’s a Transport area near the Old Quarter.  The Security team will meet you there.  Good Luck.  We greatly appreciate your assistance.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
Gokaar and Everitt: could we use the ship's warp field to do that?

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::turns back to the CTO, feeling somewhat helpless::  CTO: Then I guess this is mostly in your capable hands

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Gokaar, MacTavish, Nural: Report to TR1 for away team.  And gentlemen, full accessories.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::nods, placing the beret on top of his head::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CO:  Yes sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CTO: only if you wanted to have the explosion on our doorstep - I would suggest a portable device - a quite powerful one

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Notes the CIV putting on the Prism beret, realizes that's a very bad omen::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CO: Aye ::signals his  replacement and exits the bridge::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::follows the CSO out::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
CSO: I would feel better about disarming it than containing it... I don't think we have anything aboard the ship other than our M/AR engines that could do that.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Everitt:  Find out about the subspace bomb.  We may need your expertise in disarming it if we can locate it.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::moves towards the TL::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::smiles proudly:: CO: I was already working on it, sir

CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
Medic: No, not over there.  The plasma infuser goes there and that goes on the other side.  Got it? ::exasperated as she tries to get sickbay back in order after their unexpected visitors last mission::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::exits TL and enters storage locker 13c::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: grumbles and continues to work ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron:  Stay in contact with the AT.  I want reports every 5 minutes.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::checks personal side arm and baton before reaching for a phaser rifle off the racks of the storage locker::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
::stops by a weapons locker, and then goes to the TR::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
Computer: environmental conditions at beam down co ordinates?

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::returns to his station and searches the computer for all information on subspace bombs::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<C> Gokaar: Its sunny, with a slight breeze from the east.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Picks up sensor equipment and Weaponry::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::replaces the foul weather kit and exits storage bay::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::heads to the transporter room, weapons slung::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
Enters TR1, patches Tricorder into Biometric data stream::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: listens to the AT prepare for their mission through his console ::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Wonders why the computer suddenly sounds like a weather forecaster::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
:;arrives in the Transporter room and looks around...takes place on the TR pad::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
Gokaar: We should expect the people might not react to well to us, they have been ravaged by war and short of resources.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Nods to the TR Tech and steps on the pad::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
CTO: Indeed, we do however need to maintain our focus and allow the planetary security to ensure our safety - but keep an eye on them anyway !

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
AT: All ready?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
CSO:  Aye

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
CSO: Yes sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
TR Tech: Energize!

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Transport Chief energizes...

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::walks down the OPS station and catches Peron's attention:: OPS: I believe I have plan for the subspace bomb... I secondary plan hopefully.  Will you accompany me to the shuttlebay, I'll fill you on the way.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::arrives in the Old Town.....looks around, the rubble...decay....::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Comes to Defensive posture ::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Away Team appears on the raised Transport platform in a courtyard of sorts.  Six purple-furred Doman Security Officer, each sporting a Polaron Rifle stand around.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: glances up at Everitt :: EO: Sure.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::Consults tricorder::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Looks around after materializing, pulls out a tricorder and scans the area::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: looks at the Captain :: CO: Sir, permission to go with Ensign Everitt?

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@DSO: have you located Burfut?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::steps off the platform, looking for the head of the Doman security attachment::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <General Pollet>  ::Steps up to the Away Team::  You are the Starfleet Officers.  We have found Burfut's residence we must hurry.  This way.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Peron: Granted.  Leave the line open.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: turns up the volume a notch and nods to the EO ::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::heads to the TL, and starts discussing:: OPS: If this bomb becomes armed, we have the have a backup plan available.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: at your leisure!

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Pollet and his men, head out of the Courtyard and into the war scarred streets of the Old Quarter.  Weapon burns can be seen on many buildings, well the ones still standing.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::moves off the platform  follow the Doman officer::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::follows Pollet.....war is hell.....::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@AT: watch your spacing but keep together

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Old Woman>  ::A Silver hairdo female hobbles towards the Away Team::  Help me... Help my children...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Gokaar* Your are on an open channel.  Keep me informed.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::falls back a little to keep an eye on the guards::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
EO: Do tell!

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@*CO*: Aye Sir!.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*TR1*Keep a lock on the AT at all times.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: How far general?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@  ACTION: The Presence of the Security Forces and Starfleet Officers begin to bring people out of the buildings and onto the streets.  The tension grows quickly.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet> Gokaar: A few more city segments.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::looks around::  I've got a bad feeling about this

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::notes the Peron's enthusiasm:: OPS: We can use the shuttles warp core to create static warp shell, which hopefully will contain most of the explosion.  In a worse case scenario we can set the shuttle on a course out into empty space to minimize the damage.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@AT: Phasers on stun!

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@General:: How far?  ::pulls out phaser and checks setting::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@CIV: indeed!

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
TL: Engineering. :: turns back to Everitt ::

CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::small smile as sickbay starts returning to normal... or at least as normal as it got on the Q::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Takes a seat at one of the back consoles at the bridge, trying to see how the away team is doing::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@AT: if the crowd rushes us set wide field stun!

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
EO: Hmm... what kind of tests can we run to ensure this will work? In theory, I'm sure it's perfect, but this is -- well, this is the real world.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::grumbles to self::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CSO:  We're here to help these people...not shoot them into submission

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: A group of younger Doman, their fur not as dull as the older ones, emerge from a building, their tails swaying quickly, and with seeming purpose.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@::Checks Tricorder for Burfut's biosigns::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
OPS: Unfortunately we won't have the luxury of testing this.  However if the bomb becomes armed, it most likely will be rigged against tampering.  And we'll need a solution, even if it’s just a theoretical one.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@::Watches the Doman security people::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Scans younger group for weapons::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
OPS: The static warp shell has to strong, but only for a short time.  If we set the engines on overload, it'll hopefully provide the desired effect.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
EO: I agree. It sounds good. Now, what do you need my help with, exactly? :: tries not to sound rude, despite his wording ::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Young Doman>  AT & Security Forces:  WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE!!  LEAVE US ALONE!!!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::stands as he listens to the comm chatter, turns and sees the CNS and nods::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@::Scans area with tricorder::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@::glances at the AT:: AT: steady!

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::frowns....and mumbles::  I think we found the real welcome wagon::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION:  Several of the younger ones join the leader in yelling at the Away team.  Anti-War sentiments are being communicated very loudly.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::tries to stay calm::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@CIV: It does not appear so - understandable under the circumstances::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::arrives in the shuttlebay:: OPS: I thought you could help my configure the shuttle's autopilot and program an overload routine... I could get one of the engineering officers if you're busy.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: follows Everitt :: EO: Ah, yes. I'd be glad to help!

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::smiles:: OPS: Bridge duty can get a little dry I suppose.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: laughs :: EO: Sometimes.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  Please, Counselor, you needn't stay back there, Your help may be needed with the AT incase the crowd turns violent.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: A Brick hits the ground before the Away Team.  The Security Forces' tails begin to twitch nervously.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
OPS: I would rather sacrifice one of the smaller shuttlepods, but we need the larger warp cores.  I think we'd rather sacrifice a good shuttle than chance at blowing up the ship or others.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet> Gokaar: We must keep moving.. It’s not far now.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@: AT: Hold your fire!

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::continues to follow the security, swinging the rifle around to his hands::  Pollet:  quickly, General

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::points over to the large class-9 shuttlecraft:: OPS: This will the be our unfortunate victim

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: Indeed general - I would suggest that the sooner the better!

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: Are we expecting the Doman to turn violent sir? ::Concerned::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  With any war, feelings run high.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, sir.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: More and more people begin walking along with the Group, yelling profanities at them.  Generally saying they want nothing more to do with the war.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Gets up, and moves to take the XO's seat, in case assistance is needed::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
EO: Hmm... she looks like a cow.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: General - Burfut had better be there - we need to move fast !

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  And not always logically.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::wonders what a cow might be::  OPS: And exactly what is a cow?  I'll work on the overload, you configure the autopilot set a course for the least-populated area and engage 

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sits back as he listens for reports::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet>  Gokaar:  This is the building... ::Has his forces guard the entrance as he accompanies the team inside::  It’s on the fifth level.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
*CO*: FYI the locals are getting somewhat restless.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: looks at Everitt with his eyebrow raised and shakes his head ::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::tries to appear to ignore the protesters, while being alert to a possible mob attack::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: War is unnecessary in some cases. ::Takes the XO chair::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::slings phaser rifle and draws hand phaser....looks up the stairwell::  CSO:  Looks clear....

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: and I suppose we walk up?

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::opens up the hatch and leaves Peron at the cockpit as he proceeds to the rear of the craft::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::glad to be at the building, moves inside with the guards::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  Mostly they are.  Any words of advice for the AT?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet>  Gokaar:  Unless you can fly... this way.  ::Leads the way::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
::remembers the academy urban combat training!::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: enters the cockpit and sits down ::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
::keeps phaser in hand as he takes point, moving slowly, scanning all corners with quick, trained looks::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
<@>

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Group makes their way to Burfut's apartment... the building is oddly quiet.  Weapons burns can be seen everywhere.  It was obviously the place of a major confrontation between forces.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::looks at the door...curiously, its closed::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@::sets tricorder to signal anomalous subspace phenomena::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::open the panel for the manual warp drive controls and starts fiddling::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: I don't know if there is anything that I can that would help them in this case, from the sounds of it ... the Doman down there are extremely against this war. When a mob is that determined on one thing, there is generally hardly anything you can do to convince them otherwise.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@AT: Its empty in there!

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: General - It seems empty in there!

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet>  Gokaar:  Good.  ::Kicks in the door and moves inside::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: fiddles with the controls, attempting to get the autopilot set up right on this old beast ::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: Best advice is to not do anything that would justify the mob to be angrier.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  As I said, logic seldom dictates in war.  The people do not realize that war is what we are trying to prevent.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::holsters phaser as he moves inside::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Scans the interior::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::moves behind the guards with phaser ready::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ APARTMENT:  The apartment is neat and tidy.  Part of the wall is missing where a weapons fire blasted a hole in it.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::loiters around, nosing through this educator’s things::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
EO: Hmm... this thing is being resistant!

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: So where is Burfut?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet>  Gokaar:  Not here...

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::looks for anything that might contain info on the bomb::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: Indeed it does. But it is often understood that many "fear what they don't understand ... and they hate what they fear." They don't understand this war ... thus they're afraid of it ... to them, we merely represent another aspect of the ongoing war, and they have yet to understand the Federation ... thus, they aren't fond of us either.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::finds the educators desk......along with a small prism (no pun intended).  Picks the small crystal up::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: Clearly!

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@AT: search the apartment - we need traces of the weapon or the person!

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: As MacTavish picks up the Prism, a small hologram of an old grey haired Doman appears hanging from the Prism.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::blinks::  "ello 'ello 'ello

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::turns the prism over::  All:  Found something

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::finishes adding the 3.2 second static warp shell overload routine, and patches it into Quirinus computer controls:: 

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  Most insightful, Counselor.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@::Looks towards Lt. MacTavish::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: I've been attempting to read up on the Doman ... despite the lack of information Starfleet has on them.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet>  Gokaar:  That's a holograph of Burfut.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Stops searching to look at the prism MacTavish is holding::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: finally manages to get the autopilot to accept the course ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  And have your been able to draw any conclusions?

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::hears the OPS and moves back up to the front of the ship:: OPS: That'll have to do until Gokaar can take a look at it.  How's your work going?

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: In a war such as this, Captain? There are no victors.

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
EO: Got the thing to accept my course. Let's just hope it can do it right.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::wonders how he turned the thing on in the first place::

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
OPS: You can run some simulations from the ship.  Just make sure we can execute the command from the Q when needed.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  Are there ever.  My species discovered this as did yours.  But still...

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::scan the prism::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: There is a past hidden between these people, one that we have yet to discover no doubt. For all we know, the Doman fired the first shots so long ago ... or maybe the Elleb did. These people have been fighting for longer than the Federation itself has existed. We can only barely begin to comprehend the hatred between these peoples, and the lengths they've gone to quench their thirsts for vengeance.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::finds little nubs that act as controls....depresses another button::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
EO: Yeah, it's all patched up and ready to go. I'll run some more tests and head back to the Bridge if that's alright?

CMO_Lt_Morgan says:
::hears a comment about 'coming out of the closet' and whirls around wondering who would be the smarty pants making jokes at her expense::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  Most illogical to continue to drive a war by hate long after its trivial cause has been forgotten.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: I'm afraid that despite all our attempts to establish peace ... both groups, whether there are dozens of treaties, will always hate the other side ... no matter what our Ambassadors do.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Burfut Hologram>  All:  The time has come to end this conflict.  The Doman people, once rulers of their own destiny have been forced to live as hunted beings.  No sentient being should live thusly.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
OPS: Thanks, sir.  I'm going to head the main engineering first.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: Illogical yes ... but emotion generally strays far away from logic, no?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::finds himself agreeing with the hologram::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <B H> All:  We have lost control of our divine destiny, the one Demnial allowed us control of.  Demnial the one who watched us, has turned away.  We have become nothing more than peddlers seeking food, warmth, shelter.  We can provide these things for ourselves.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  All too true.  Still there is a saying on Earth, I believe, to understand another you must first walk a mile in his shoes.  Perhaps if the two factions could trade place...

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: Perhaps.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::doesn’t like where Burfut is going with this::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <B H> All:  The Elleb are in our path, they must be removed.  The United Federation of Planets, the benevolent ones who assist our weak and starving are corrupting us.  They are just as evil as the Elleb.  They wish to create a dependency, one that cannot be allowed.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::arrives in main engineering, checks in on things, and informs them of the plan::

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::suddenly finds himself out of agreement::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: finally gets the shuttle set and exits, heading for the turbolift ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: is this feeling widespread?

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: But would that change things? From what we have seen in the last few days, all they would experience is each other’s hatred for another. This is a never-ending conflict, the likes of which we have seen before, Captain ... the Klingons and the Cardassians, the Romulans and the Klingons, the Bellicose and the Q'Orphod, and so forth.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ < B H> All:  The Federation and Elleb are our enemies.  Both must be removed from our righteous path to Destiny.  Demnial will not forsake us.  We are his children, we will overcome the adversity before us.  A Change is at hand.  The Divine wind cometh.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet> Gokaar: Many of our people feel this way...

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@MacTavish: Great!  A zealot!  Nothing like a little religion to make people killers.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  Nural:  Well...you do know what the greatest Zealots become.....

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: Hatred, fear, prejudice ... they are things that outlive entire races ... they are endless, and they have the power to shift entire empires.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@CIV: Only thing worse than a zealot - is a planet full of them!

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::starts writing out a report and slowly makes his way to the bridge::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@Pollet: And you General?

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::looks at MacTavish, waiting for him to finish::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <B H> All:  The Sword of Demnial is mine.  Vengeance will be ours.  The Doman will once again be able to control their destinies.  The Elleb will no longer divert us from destiny.  The Federation will no longer corrupt us with veiled acts of kindness.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  CSO/CIV:  The greatest Zealots become the most remembered Martyrs

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: enters the TL :: Bridge.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Having slightly gotten into the discussion, draws out a bit::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  Perhaps, but to my knowledge none of these have even tried to understand the other.  They are too emotionally driven, that they have no logic except that of the war strategy

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@MacTavish: Let's hope we can find him before it comes to that.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <B H> All:  Both will be convinced by the Divine act that they should no longer be in out path.  Where talking accomplishes nothing,  Action succeeds in the place of words.  On the planet of words the Divine Wind will lay waste those who would keep us from our destiny.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@*CO*: Sir - we are viewing a hologram of Burfut and he is talking of the sword of Deminal. Any data on the name? it appears to be a deity of some kind

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: That's because they have no desire to learn from each other. Maybe ... it's up to us to teach them this? But ... will they allow us to? And that brings us back to the fear ... the hate ... the non-understanding ...

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <B H> All:  Da HausienTomat, veriq poldar uri weial

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ ACTION: The Hologram shuts it self off.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Ignores the ranting from the hologram and continues looking for clues of where  he has gone or the location of the bomb::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Gokaar* Accessing data now...perhaps your escort will know.  ::Access computer.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet>  ::Stunned by the words of Burfut mumbles::  The Divine wind, makes clear our path.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@*CO*: Sir there is also a threat towards the Federation!

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Quirks eyebrow:: CO: Demnial? Captain, that's the god the Doman believe in.

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Frowns as he hears about the threat::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan:  If we keep trying, inroads will be made as with my people and our brethren the Romulans.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
TL: Bridge

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@::Hears the general and watches him closely::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
CO: I hope so, sir. I really hope so ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@::whispers to CTO:: CTO: I think we may be being escorted by a follower!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Gokaar* Transfer entire message here.  Will transmit to Starfleet.

CTO_Lt_Torok_Nural says:
@CSO: Agreed.

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@::Catches the attention of MacTavish and repeats the whisper::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  Pollet:  that mean something to you, Sahr?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet>  All:  That man is mad.  He defiles Demnial by invoking his name.

EO_Ens_Everitt says:
::arrives on the bridge, PADD in hand::

CSO_LtCmdr_Gokaar says:
@*CO*: aye sir ::uploads the recording to the Quirinus::

OPS_Lt_Peron says:
:: enters the bridge and returns to his console ::

CNS_LtJg_Raythan says:
::Sits there, pondering the situation::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
@ <Pollet>  All:  He's going to bomb the peace talks on Earth, the Planet of Words
