::changes the parameters and begins the second scan::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
::wonders if she'll ever get back to that town::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
TRChief: Energize

Host Stevron says:
ACTION: The away team is beamed down and finds themselves in a tranquil yet alien valley. The air definitely gives the effect of being lighter, but thanks to the respirators that should not be a problem. It does not feel cooler, and the valley walls reach up far enough. They stand on a ridge, and below, a recently built series of towns can be seen.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::turns around and whips out her phaser::

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::thinks to self:: self: I wonder if I can improve the anti matter / matter reaction?

Host Stevron says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the sound of whooshing is heard as dozens of flying mutated Jihejians soar right over the heads of the ATs ... practically none of them noticing the arrivals.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::looks up::

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO:  The other is still in a coma.  I don't know how long it will last.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::draws his phaser, but keeps it inconspicuous::

@All:  Wow

Host Stevron says:
CO: Hmmm ... you're not the pleasant one I was hoping to see.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::ducks, but continues to scan the creatures::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: looks up, follows the flight of the Jihejians with his tricorder ::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::checks the orbit and nods with satisfaction::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@All; Lets head into town.. see what we find there

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevron: Your attempt at the life of a member of my crew was somewhat lacking in finesse.  One would think that you missed on purpose.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@XO:  Right Sir.  Continues watching the Jihejians::
Host Stevron says:
CO: I'm getting old. Muscles tend to degrade. Your executive officer is swift on his feet ...

Host Stevron says:
ACTION: The Jihejians fade into the town below ... but suddenly the AT hears a rasping voice similar to the Doctor from before shout ... "Who are you?"

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Aye, sir.   :: follows Pangborn ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Starts carefully down the hill, still with phaser drawn::

@::follows Pangborn::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@XO:  Couldn't our procedures be interpreted as hostile, Sir?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Raises his eyebrow:: Stevron: Indeed.  Still, I would think that one in your line would have to consider his reputation.  A poor shot does not look good on the resume.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::stops and looks behind:: Voice: I am commander Pangborn of the USS Quirinus. Who are you?

Host Stevron says:
ACTION: Three mutated Jihejians sit on branches behind the AT.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::stops dead::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: turns ::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::turns and looks::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@All: Wait up a second....::voice trails off as he looks at the mutations::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ :: scans the threesome ::

Host Stevron says:
::Nods:: CO: No kidding. Guess I'll have to work on that. Although, for the impressive medical and scientific record of Starfleet, I'm kind of amazed you have anyone just "lying" around here ... ::Nods to Mathar Raythan lying nearby::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::holsters her phaser::

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
::listens to the conversation and finishes the results on Stevron's scan::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Puts his phaser away and approaches:: Three: We've come to attempt to help you find out why you have mutated, and how to get you back to normal

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::turns to the Jihejians, scans them with the tricorder and opens his mind to see if they give off any perceptions::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::wonders why they would want to get back to "normal"::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevron: His injuries were much more severe.  In time, he will recover.  I do not suppose you would care to divulge your employer?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Anything we haven't seem before? ::quiet::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Still scanning, sir..

Host Stevron says:
<Fradese> @ XO: You were sent by the halflings then ... ::Leaps from the branch and glides to the ground before the XO, standing up and towering above him gracefully::

Host Stevron says:
CO: Not particularly, no.

Host Stevron says:
CO: Although your first officer seems to have angered the wrong crowd.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::finishes the comparison and is disappointed to see that there is no known pattern either in the present or apparent in the database::

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ Fradese: Halflings?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::steps up closer to the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Fradese: This is your natural state? And the ones you call halflings are the mutations we seek?

Host Stevron says:
<Fradese> @ CSO: Those who have not evolved like us.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::forwards her finished report on to the CO::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@:cocks his head at the creature before him, and continues to scan::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::watches and listens::

Host Stevron says:
<Fradese> @ XO: No, not at all. They have simply not continued down their natural path of growth ... they have yet to become like us. Perfect.

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::looks at a crewman:: crewman: give me all your routine checks on the warp drive I like to look over then ::crewman nods and goes to retrieve them::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::whispers:: CNS:  Nobody is perfect.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Nothing unusual about these three, compared to Dr. Y'Hor in the city, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevron: An entire group. Hmmm...

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Fradese: Perfect, are sure this is an evolutionary step?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::looks the creature over skeptically::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CSO: Mr. Kraight, tie in the ships computer if you have to....theorize about the possibility that the "mutations" are not naturally acceleration of their evolution into these...higher forms

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
crewman: on second thought send your data to the engineering console on the bridge ::turns and exits engineering::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::decides to try a different angle and realizes that she could use some help.::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::smiles at OPS:OPS: indeed (whispers)

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::stops and thinks to self:: self: I need permission first don't I?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*FCO Morgan* Check all beam downs recorded by sensors to the surface in our general area immediately following our arrival

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ XO: Aye, sir. The analysis of the Jihejian database should be complete by now.

Host Stevron says:
<Fradese> @ CNS: What else could it be?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Fradese: You are the result of natural evolution on this planet? Was your race once like those on the northern hemisphere of the planet?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*CO*: Permission to request Ensign Kellen's help in my investigation, Sir?

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO: Sir, I have the results of the final scan on Stevron.  Everything checks out.  You can move him to the brig whenever you wish.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Morgan* Granted

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*CO*: Thank you, Sir. Morgan out.

Host Stevron says:
<Fradese> @ XO: You mean like those outside the Aerie? Yes.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Kellen* I believe the FCO was wanting your help as well. Please report to bridge.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@ *Q*: Kraight to Quirinus computer. Report status: analysis of Jihejian medical database.

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
*CO*: Aye sir

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::walks to turbolift:: Com: bridge

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Fradese: It could simply be a illness ::holds up hands:: unlikely as that may be.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::still trying to understand what exactly the problem is::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Fradese: So you consider yourselves more highly evolved than the others. How long did it take you to achieve this state you are now in?

Host Stevron says:
CO: Well, group, crowd, maybe just a singular person. ::Laughs:: You can't exactly trust me, can you?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::begins to scan the transporter logs as ordered::

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::arrives at bridge and walks off turbolift::

Host Stevron says:
<Fradese> @ XO: Me? I was one of the first. I am the leader of the true Jihejians ... Fradese. Of course, when our planet's leader will evolve, I will step aside and let him take charge here.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::smiles at the CEO and motions for him to join her::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Stevron: Not if your word is as good as your aim.  Somehow, I think given your record that you were paid to miss.  You didn't wish to be captured and come aboard, did you?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Fradese: Just how long ago did you "evolve"?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::looks down at the town and wonders if they will be allowed to go in::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@ ::getting nothing form Fradese closes his tricorder::

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::looks at Ens. Morgan:: Morgan: Ah you must be the FCO the captain told me you might need my help?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::quickly explains to the CEO just what they attempting to do::

Host Stevron says:
CO: Hmmm ... whatever gave you that impression ... ::Suddenly, the tips of his fingers are exposed as metal and he drives them into the force field. The phaser energy absorbed by the receptors throughout his body earlier is released into the field, short-circuiting it.

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
Morgan: Where are my manners ::extends hand:: My name is ensign Kellen Krem your new CEO

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO: Sir!!!! Lookout he is loose Security!!!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::landing on the floor::

Host Stevron says:
ACTION: The security personnel rapidly pull out their phasers and open fire on stun, but Stevron is too fast and his body seems to absorb the phaser fire thanks to the receptors ... he quickly access a JT and disappears into the internal tunnels of the ship.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he stands:: Computer: Containment field.

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
::rushing towards Stevron she attempts to pin him using every ounce of her Vulcan strength::

Host Stevron says:
ACTION: An alert is instantly sent through the ship as the field just misses Stevron.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@COM: C: Computer: Correlate all data from Jihejian files. Query: Is the mutation a natural progression of the basic Jihejian genome?

Host SM_Selan says:
<Fradese> @ XO: Me? Seven months ago.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Fradese: So, you do not wish this process to be stopped and certainly not reversed where you are concerned?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Fradese: But you consider this normal and a natural thing? The speed of the evolution didn't surprise you? Do you ::hesitates:: Consider yourself superior?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CEO: Security alert! The prisoner has escaped!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Reason.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CO: Unable to detect prisoner designated "Stevron."

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::begins to implement standard emergency procedures::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*FCO Morgan* Seal off bridge and encode all computer terminals.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Fradese> @ CNS: As far as I'm concerned, no. I have embraced the change. But I would not prevent others from seeking a "reversal" if that were possible. Which I'm sure it isn't. This is the future.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir! I'm on it!

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@COM: C: List all possible external agents that could cause the Jihejian evolutionary process to accelerate to the observed rate.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Fradese> @ XO: Why yes, we are superior. But if you are fearing some sort of hostile takeover ... that is nonsense. We couldn't survive down there anymore anyway.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@::Frowns:: Fradese: But does this future not limit you?? as to were you can go?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::inputs the bridge seal down and computer lock down::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: do you detect any lifeforms in the JT this deck?

Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CO: No life forms detected.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::curious:: Fradese: No you couldn't. Let me be blunt then. You have no desire to return to your former state then

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::looks at FCO:: FCO: should we arm ourselves?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::glances up from her terminal::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Any unusual field activity in the JT?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::takes a recording of the conversation::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CO: Unusual phaser discharge detected on deck five previous. Now detected on deck six.

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::taps combadge:: *CO*:Captain should I initiate a scan of the ship?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Kellen* Yes

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: I might point out that the Jihejians cannot come here, and are therefore limited themselves in a way

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO: If you remember, we had a hard time locking on to him in the first place because of his Takaran physiology.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CEO: Yes. Grab some weapons out of the locker.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@XO: Quite true commander

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Activate ship phaser dampening field.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@XO:  Two different species.  Two different habitats.  So what's the problem?

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::quickly grabs a phaser and rushes to the console and starts scans of the ship::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Fradese: I understand. Do the others share your opinion?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::takes out a phaser and straps it to her hip::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CO: De-activating logged phasers throughout U.S.S. Quirinus.

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO: In addition the metal parts in his body now seems to be absorbing the energy and expelling it in a form of a phaser discharge disruptive field.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::looks back at the bird guy pointedly::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Fradese> @ XO: Of course not.

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::continues scans of ship::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::places an additional phaser on the console next to her::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::sighs and continues the recording::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@XO: May we still collect genetic samples that is if Fradese does not mind?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Activate phasers for all command and security personnel.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CO: Acknowledged. Activating designated phasers.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
T'Kern: Then is there something we can lock onto?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Fradese: So you alone wish to stay in this condition...er.....superior as it may be

Host SM_Selan says:
<Fradese> @ XO: ... yes. I'm sorry. I do not see the real point of this conversation. I thought you were here to find the source of the change?

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO: I am trying to find that right now.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
T'Kern: Do you have a phaser?

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Fradese: Indeed we are, do wish us to?

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::wonders if that is in fact why they are here::

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO: Unfortunately sir it is hard to lock on to phaser discharges.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::wonders if anyone has informed the Away Team of the current situation::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:Fradese: Yes we are. Do you mind if we collect some genetic material for analysis? We are looking to solve this mystery. You will od course, be free to retain your form, but those who desire to revert will be helped

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Track unlogged phaser firer.  What deck?

Host SM_Selan says:
<Fradese> @ CNS: Certainly I won't stop you. But that doesn't mean if a ... reversal is found, that I will adhere to it for myself.

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO: And yes sir I have my phaser.

@COM: C: What properties of an unknown agent would be consistent with the observed changes?

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::draws phaser out::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Just get permission first

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Activate my phaser and activate site to site transport to point 5 meters from last phaser fire.  Energize.

@Fradese: May I?

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::taps combadge:: *CO*: Sir this is really strange the intruder has not tapped into our main systems but into yours and the XO's personal logs from stardate 10303.03-10303.10

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::waits for the transporter to take him::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
@ *Quirinus*: Respond, anyone.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CO is beamed to the location, and finds a terminal which has the screen listing logs of the CO, XO and computer records of certain stardates. All for 10303.03 and 10303.10 are deleted.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> MO: Unable to locate said metallic objects.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Computer: Energy activities?

Host SM_Selan says:
<Computer> CO: Phaser energy discharge detected approximately five feet behind your location.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: THUD! The CO is hit hard, as his phaser is grabbed away from him.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:
@COM: C: Scan records of tissue samples taken from afflicted Jihejians. Do any of the samples show indications of retrovirii of any kind?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::falling to his knees::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
# ::spots some pirates heading his way and hurries to answer:: *FCO*: I don't have much time I have some pirates heading my way, inform the Captain that I am still investigating and will be back soon. ::all of sudden gets ambushed from behind and stunned with a phaser::

CEO: See if you can pick him up on scans, please?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::continues to try and reach the CTO::

Host Stevron says:
::Falls to the ground, kicks outward at the CO, catching him in the stomach ... isn't attempting to shoot him though::

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
FCO: roger that ::rushes to console and begins scans of the surface::

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
Computer: You mean to tell me that the medical records that I personally input are not there????  Impossible.  Look again.

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
*CO*: Sir?????

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
# ::gets up a little disoriented and sees the pirates heading away with his pack:: *FCO*: Lock on to my comm. badge in the pack that is moving and energize

Host Stevron says:
<Fradese> @ CNS: Go ahead.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
::senses pain from the CO::  *CO*: Captain!!!!!!!

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::sighs in relief and engages a transporter lock::

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::notices some flowers::

Host Stevron says:
::Takes a step back:: CO: You really don't have any idea what this is about ... do you ...

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*FCO*: Straight to the brig

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Fradese: Thank you ::steps forward and takes the samples::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*FCO*:Energize.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Comm: Jarvin to Kraight

Host Stevron says:

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::notices she is being watched so refrains from touching anything::

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
::entering the TL:: Deck 6 and hurry

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::now aboard the Quirinus:: *FCO*: Did you beam up the pack directly to the brig like I asked?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*CTO*: The prisoner has escaped, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::standing:: Stevron: You serve the entity.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::transports the CTO's friends to the brig::

CTO_LtJG_Telarus says:
*FCO*: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Go ahead and take the material

Host Stevron says:
CO: The "entity"? Is that what it's called ... I don't know ... all I know is that I did what I was supposed to do ... and I'm free now ... j-just like it promised ... there's a whole new life waiting for me on the other side ... just like it promised ... ::Fires::

Host Stevron says:
ACTION: Stevron's head is blown off in suicide.

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches as Stevron's remains, slump to the floor:: Self: why would it want our logs?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:All: I'd like to head into town...to get some more samples and some other opinions. ::looks at Cherry:: OPS: What do you think?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::feels better for some reason and smiles at the CEO::

CNS_ENS_Jarvin says:
@Com: Jarvin to Kraight

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
T'Kern: Stevron is dead by his own hand.

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
CO: Sir!!! What happened??

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Morgan* Belay, general quarters.  All security stand down.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@OPS: Hope you like feathers then:: represses an image of Cherry in a pink boa::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*CO*: Understood, Sir.

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::taps combadge:: *CO*: Captain are you alright I detected phaser fire on your position?

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
::passes the scanner over the CO:: CO: Sir you have some injuries let me treat them in sickbay.

OPS_Ens_Cherry says:
@::thinks she sees an odd look cross the XO's face::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
T'Kern: A short time ago we meant with a being of immense evil.  It sent Stevron to apparently retrieve my and the XO's logs.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*All*: Security shutdown cancelled.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Kellen* I am well.

CSO_LtJG_Kraight says:

CEO_Ens_Kellen says:
::puts phaser back in holster::

MO_Lt_T`Kern says:
::sensing the captains emotions rising::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::returns the weapons to the locker, grateful to have not had to actually use them::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
T'Kern: I will go with you.  I do not know why it needed them.  It seeks to destroy through corruption of the truth.  Perhaps...
