<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Shows no interest in the Dr.'s prodding ::

CTO_LT_David says:
&OPS: set course to Quirinus and get clear to land

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::looks around, remembering old earth tales of middle earth::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&CTO: Aye sir

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::approaching the castle::

Host MacDuff says:
@ Everitt: This is Taughfondell Castle, I will be taking you the Wizard's Spire.  The High Mage will want to meet you.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: FCO: We don't have to do this now if you don't want to.

CTO_LT_David says:
:: think ok I hope this assignment is better than my last:::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: Dr. I appreciate the time and effort you've put into this. I will not prevent you from your work.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::looks strangely:: MacDuff: Me, specifically?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::listens, barely::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::dryly:: FCO: How kind of you.

Host MacDuff says:
@ Everitt: All of you.. 

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&CTO: Hey you think it will be better here?

CTO_LT_David says:
&OPS: i don't know I not know much about the ship

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&CTO: I mean it was a nice place but it just wasn't us although it is going to be weird working in different departments now when we have been so use to working together

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: Dr. I'm trying in some way to.. apologize for my seemingly rude behavior.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::starts the first cancer treatment::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&CTO: For so long too...

CTO_LT_David says:
&OPS: I'm sure we can find time to still work together

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
FCO: Ah.  I see.  That explains it then. ::smiles::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&::as CTO finishes comment hears proximity sensors go off::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::looks around at the group, making sure they overheard, or at least are following along::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@MacDuff:  Since we are from afar, what should be our proper greeting of the High Mage?  I would not wish to insult him.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: having beamed down unobserved a few hundred meters from the Away Team, Kraight hurries to join them ::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*TR Chief*: Transfer control of TR1 to the Conn. I will be there as soon as Dr. Morgan is finished with me.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: as he trots toward his crewmates, Kraight is careful to set his tricorder to silent operation and full-spectrum scan ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::watches Sulek and MacDuff, wondering if he'll respond::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&CTO: We are approaching the ship sir, preparing landing sequence.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::notices Kraight's arrival::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::smiles slightly at the impatience in his voice.  Few proved to be good patients::

Host MacDuff says:
@ Sulek: Do not address the Mage, you are an Elf, know your place.  Let your Wizard master's great the High Mage. ::Looks disdainfully at Sulek::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ CO: Ensign Kraight reporting for duty, Sir.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: tugs again at his gloves, trying to make them both natural-looking and comfortable ::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&COMM: Quirinus: This is Lt. JG David Telarus, Operations Officer, and Lt. David Shirley, Chief Tactical Officer, permission to come aboard?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
<COMM>: Captain I'm in receipt of your "request" and all is ready.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::does a scan to see if the treatment was effective::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ MacDuff: How should I and my friends address the High Mage then?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::wonders who they believe is the Wizard master::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
<COMM> Lt. permission granted. Please report to the bridge immediately.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: losing the use of the second thumb on each hand is an odd sensation to Kraight ::

Host MacDuff says:
@ Everitt: As you would any Wizard of his stature.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: Dr. If you are satisfied with this treatment, may I return to my duties?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@ ::looks at Everitt::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: sidles over to the Captain, whispers ::  CO: I think the Doctor did an excellent job on my face, Sir. Do you think it will pass the natives' inspection?

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::notices the return of Ens....Kraight....looks at him oddly a second, then returns to surveying the rounds::

Host MacDuff says:
@ ACTION: Leads the group through twisting stone hallways, some so smooth that it seems they were manufactured by advanced technology.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Kraight:  I just hope no one asks you to remove the gloves.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::nods to herself:: FCO: Well.. it's a start anyway.  The cancerous cells have diminished in size and number.  It's not all gone though.  We'll have to try again at a further date.

CTO_LT_David says:
&OPS : update me I seem to feel sleep

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::looks at Sulek, reading barely a thing from him, then turns to MacDuff and swallows:: MacDuff: You must forgive me, its been some time now.  Would "sir" be fine, or are any other addresses or gestures in order?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ CO: I will explain that I must wear them due to a recent "injury".

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
FCO: I know you need to go, so go.  I'll see what I can do to try and increase the effectiveness of the treatment

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&::lands in main shuttle bay::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: Understood Dr. and thank you for your patience.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
::Leaves SB and heads for the bridge::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
&::perfect touchdown on landing powers down shuttle::

Host MacDuff says:
@ Everitt: Here you are... just beyond these doors, I'm not allowed to enter.  ::Bows and makes his exit::

CTO_LT_David says:
:: walks off the shuttle and looks around::::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Everitt: Wizard Master, note the...::watches as MacDuff leaves.::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
::enters the bridge and assumes the Conn, wondering where these new crewmen are ::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: quickly checks his tricorder, looking for indications of advanced technology or power sources ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::notes the bow:: CO: Perhaps a "sir" and a bow will do?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::mutters to herself, puttering around sickbay in an attempt to figure out the nature of this disease::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: Well here we are...let's go to the Bridge as ordered.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::heads towards doors and exits to nearest Turbo Lift::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Everitt: You are apparently believed to be the leader.  Until we are certain that the High Mage is a colonist, you must fulfill that role.

CTO_LT_David says:
:: follows the OPS::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ CO: Understood.  Shall we proceed then?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ CO :: Sir, I'm picking up an artificial power source beyond this door. No details as to type or specific location.

CTO_LT_David says:
Ops: Do you know anyone one the ship?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Gets transporter lock on entire AT ::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: Not right now

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Everitt: Yes.  We will open the doors and you will enter first.  Kraight: I thought there might be.  Now put away the tricorder.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: Have to go through the crew complement

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::heads into TL:: TL: Bridge

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: returns tricorder to holster, leaving it on silent scan ::

CTO_LT_David says:
OPS: I  not had a chance either.. I wonder where everyone is

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::flips his tricorder closed as well, spiriting it away into his tunic::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::Moves to door and opens it:: Everitt: Wizard Master, this way, sire.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: quietly checks the Phaser I hidden under his tunic ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::tries to keep a straight face, and steps through::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::Motions for the rest of the AT to follow::

CTO_LT_David says:
:: moves on toe the bridge and looks around:::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::follows right behind::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: follows Everitt into chamber, carefully examining the surroundings for signs of technology ::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Commander, reporting as ordered sir

CTO_LT_David says:
FCO: LT Shirley reporting for duty

Host MacDuff says:
@ ACTION: The Large domed room is empty, it is lined with sconces alit with flame.  The ceiling gives a vaguely crystalline effect and shimmers as you move like a night sky.  On the marble floor, there is a massive engraving of unknown symbols and images.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CTO/OPS: Gentlemen welcome aboard. I'm Cmdr. Ved FCO. Please assume your stations. We'll have time to exchange pleasantries later.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::follows the rest in at a short distance::

CTO_LT_David says:
:: move over to CTO station and start hitting a few buttons:::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::proceeds ahead slowly, staying in front::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::gets to operations station and logs in to ship's computer::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Your orders sir?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Everitt: Perhaps, the Wizard Master should announce himself.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: stays close to the Captain, remembering MacDuff's disdainful attitude towards the "elf" ::

CTO_LT_David says:
:: hits a few more button and hits the station ::SELF: I want my Eng Room back.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: Lt. I'm transferring TR1 control to you. It is locked onto the AT on the planets surface. You are not to activate unless I order it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::as if it were not unusual to speak to no one:: I am Everitt the Wizard Master, who's presence do I find myself in?

Host MacDuff says:
@ <BIG BOOMING VOICE> All: THE HIGH MAGE OF TAUGHFONDELL!  STATE YOUR BUSINESS!

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Aye sir will do

CTO_LT_David says:
::send message to ops station:: I will take my eng room back now I don't know these control on the ship:::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::still muttering, take a look at the scans again frowning::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CTO: I need you to maintain constant vigil on the AT and report any  anomalies or vessel activity in this sector

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@ ::moves to close the doors and then walks casually around the perimeter of the room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::not looking back at his crewmates, as if certain what he is doing:: All: High Mage of Taughfondell, we come in search of our ancestors.  Will you aid us?

CTO_LT_David says:
FCO: aye...::think how do you  do that on this station::::  :: starts running scans  around the ship and on the planet::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Notices the CTO's trepidation:: CTO: Is there a problem Mr. David?

Host MacDuff says:
@ ACTION: The Ceiling suddenly bursts in brilliance and a floating head appears and regards the group.

CTO_LT_David says:
FCO: I'm just well trying to figure the ship out I'm not use to the station

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
Self: Damn!

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: looks closely at the ceiling, trying to find the projector he knows must be there ::

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@ ::makes a quick look for any tall curtains::

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: OUR ANCESTORS ARE THE ONES THAT GUIDED US, WHAT WOULD THOU ASK?

Host High_Mage says:
@ ACTION: MacTavish spots several curtains between several sconces.

CTO_LT_David says:
::hit a button  activateing the red alert:::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::looks at the floating head and determines that it is most likely a projection::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CTO: I suggest you get used to it rather quickly. Use the "Help" mode if needed.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: stays with the Captain during his tour of the perimeter ::

CTO_LT_David says:
Self:  thinking oh oh wrong button

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: ::whispers:: Let me give you a hand I studied the ship before coming on

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::takes all of the info into her office and goes over it all again::

CTO_LT_David says:
OPS: aye

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::notices the curtains....starts suppressing a chuckle::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::tries to avoid shielding his eyes, while still looking up:: High Mage: We seek... information on their origin.  And who might be there descendents.

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: WE ARE THEM

CTO_LT_David says:
OPS: 1st let get the ship back to yellow alert and  let get the scans reading out on my main display not behind me

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: ::panel to panel message:: Hey to run the scans hit the sequence of keys I am sending of you and to select a target use the target window and select the target point

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::overrides the red alert back to yellow::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::continues on around the perimeter::

CTO_LT_David says:
::hit  buttons ops sends and watches:::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::faltering:: High Mage: I seek proof.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: turns holster-to-wall and risks a quick peek at the readouts, hoping for more info on the power source ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::approaching the curtains, he notices that there is slight movement::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: Thank you Lt.

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: Proof is how you look at the world... ::The image begins to get smaller::

CTO_LT_David says:
:: thinks ok I have to I redo the panel configuration when I have a chance:::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: re-holsters tricorder and stays with the Captain ::

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: Are you a wizard?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::carefully he grabs the edge  of the curtain and pulls it aside::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: catches sight of the curtains over the Captain's shoulder ::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: No problem

Host High_Mage says:
@ ACTION: A Cat-creature scurries away from being discovered.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: Status of transporter lock

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::notices the away team investigating the area, and decides this will atleast provide a stalling tactic:: High Mage: I am the master of things not understood by most.

CTO_LT_David says:
::hit a few more buttons and run another scan::::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ High Mage: Do you know the name of the star your ancestors came from?

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: We must talk... ::The image slowly becomes that of a normal head, and a body in robes appears and the whole mage now walks towards Everitt::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::watches as the cat scurries away::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Still have it sir, it is strong.

CTO_LT_David says:
::slam fist down on panel:: Self: how do you run diagnostics on the systems

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::notices the high mage appear. wonders if it is a transporter effect::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Monitors TAC from Conn :: Mr. David. perform SRS of the AT and their vicinity. OPS: Watch for energy surges from the surface.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ High Mage: I welcome that.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: staying behind the Captain for cover, Kraight pulls out his tricorder and runs a quick silent scan of the being approaching Everitt ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::frowns over the reports.  There has to be something that will work..::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Aye

Host High_Mage says:
@ ::Extends his hand:: Everitt:  I am Wizard Ethias Nevonal.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CTO: Mr. David! One more outburst like that and I'll have you removed from the bridge. Understood?

CTO_LT_David says:
FCO: aye  ::start running SRS and watch  the read outs.:: Aye sorry sir

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::begins scans at full intensity for energy surges::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::meets to shake hands, noting that that human custom has been preserved:: High Mage: What do you wish to discuss, Wizard Nevonal?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@ ::quietly speaks into his combadge:: COMM Ved: Check the colonist roster for Ethias Nevonal.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
<COMM>: Aye Sir.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: ::panel to panel message:: Hey chill out man he is going to throw you in the brig if you continue to destroy the ship, just panel message me if you got a question, ok?

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: We haven't had visitors since the Prophet.  Where did you come from?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: Check LCARS for records on Ethias Nevonal immediately.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: whispering :: CO: Nevonal reads as human, sir.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Aye ::checks for Ethias Nevonal::

CTO_LT_David says:
OPS: ::panel to panel message::  easier said than done  they don't have the  thing set up to the way  they tough us

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Kraight: As do the other inhabitants.  What was once technology may have become magic for them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::wondering how much of the prime directive still applies:: High Mage: A land beyond that of even the greatest of us wizards.

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: Do you come from Aerth?

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ CO: If, indeed, Nevonal has forgotten that it *is* technology.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Sir there is no record of an Ethias Nevonal on the colonies record database, but there is one of a Piotr Nevonal

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: Continue with that and delve as deeply as the records allow. Leave nothing out.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ High Mage: Yes, Ea.. Aerth.  How do you know of it?

CTO_LT_David says:
:: hits a few more button and start running scan  of planet and surrounding space:::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
<COMM> CO: Sir. We have nothing on Ethias Nevonal, but there is something on Piotr Nevonal. Our new OPS is seeking more data now.

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: Our ancestors came from there... it is all but forgotten.  Not many survived the Day of Blessing.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::finally looks back at his crewmates, making sure they're getting all of this:: High Mage: What was the Day of Blessing?

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
Computer: Cross reference the original colony member list with the current one and show me all Nevonals on that list

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: The day we were brought out of the sunlight to our salvation.

CTO_LT_David says:
:: hit a couple more button pulling up ship diagnostic reports::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: puts the tricorder away, takes a few steps closer to Nevonal, listening ::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Makes adjustments to compensate for orbit decay::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::wonders if the sun was found to be harmful:: High Mage: Would you wish to return to Aerth, if you had the choice?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@ COMM Ved: Understood.  ::he moves toward the back of Everitt with his head down.  Without looking at the High Mage:: Everitt: Perhaps, sire, this wise and noble high mage is a descendent of Piotr.

CTO_LT_David says:
FCO: Do I have a sec team on the away team?  I am trying to account for my teams.

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: And leave Taughfondell... Never.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::pops a piece of chocolate in her mouth and keeps working::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CTO: No. All SEC teams are aboard ship.

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: This may take some time sir the records to the colony are very extensive and I have to add out of order so the computer is going to have a challenge in finding the records on any Nevonal

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: Understood.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::decides their duty here is mostly complete:: High Mage: Tell me of Piotr, who came before you?

CTO_LT_David says:
:::send note to all team to report in and department head to submit reports:::

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: Come, your journey must have been long... You must rest.

Host High_Mage says:
@ Everitt: I do not know of a Piotr coming before me.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ Nevonal: Friend Mage, we are frankly puzzled. Why do your people avoid the sunlight?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::finishes up a set of calculations and then swears to herself:: Self: two weeks... If we don't get it cleaned up in two weeks he could die.

Host High_Mage says:
@ Kraight: It is deadly... Sun Madness killed many before the Day of Blessing.

CIV_Lt_MacTavish says:
@  ::overhears the stuff about the Sun...interesting....::

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ Nevonal: Sun Madness? Interesting. Tell me of it, please.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::figured they would get a useless answer like that::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::looks over at Kraight hoping that he has not violated some sort of cultural taboo by speaking out of turn, but then he too is a wizard::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::wondering why Kraight is perusing the matter::

Host High_Mage says:
@ Kraight: In due time... come.. you are my guests, I will get you situated and you may rest.

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: nods ::

Host High_Mage says:
@ ACTION: Nevonal begins leading the group through the room, to a far door.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::follows at the back of the group::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CTO: Take your time, but access LCARS with the request for "Storm" activity in this sector.

CTO_LT_David says:
FCO: aye :::start looking for the info:::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::follows along, deciding this will provide a good opportunity to brief on what was found out, and what to do next::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
FCO: Sir I am sorry to ask but do we have a bio scan of Nevonal or do we know his location so we can obtain one?

CTO_LT_David says:
FCO: there are no storms in this sector

CSO_Ens_Kraight says:
@ :: follows Nevonal toward the exit ::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
OPS: I believe the High Mage of the city below is a Nevonal. If possible perform a scan of the individual in question. You may call upon Dr. Morgan for assistance. She is currently in SB.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
@ ::as they move along, he lets out a smile to himself, deciding this master wizard stuff isn't so bad::

OPS_LtJG_Telarus says:
::sets computer to find Nevonal and perform scans on Nevonal and awaits results::
