Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP: The XO's team has encountered the mysterious empathic Sensei, a wise being who may hold the key to what has "affected" David Thorn during the last year. If he indeed has been affected ...

Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP continued: Meanwhile, the CO's team invades the Storm home base of Eden, learning that Doppler is actually former Quirinus officer Raythan, who was thought to be a traitor. Instead of immediately debarking, the team went to retrieve Thorn himself, but instead have made a startling discovery ... Thorn's supposedly deceased wife ... Rebecca ...

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: Where are they?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@::looks over at the XO::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Stands beside Ris'Mor::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
FCO:  The Captain's shuttle has disembarked.  It looks like its been stolen.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: sidles over to Sulek ::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ XO: perhaps our best course of action is to find out what exactly occur in this therapy sessions..

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::looks surprised and raises a brow::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#::becomes obvious that transporting will not be an option::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ XO: Yes, they do retain their memories.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CTO: Stolen? Can you get a lock on it?

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ XO: And there's not really a process to "reverse" ...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#::quietly to Kraight:: Kraight: did you get a scan of the female?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
FCO:  I'm checking for them.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: sotto voce :: Sulek: Captain, I can't get a scan on either Thorn or his wife. Something is disrupting the sensors.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::tries to get a comm. signal through to the CSO::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Sensei: Then why store the memories? What is the over all effect of the process? ::looks warily at Craven and Trebor::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Kraight: Try modulating the frequency.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: And you knew we would come how?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ XO: sir.. ::lets her tail thud against the floor::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
FCO:  I think they're still on the asteroid.  We have to find another way through the disruption field though.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: makes several adjustments to tricorder -- with no effect ::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: looks at Sulek, shakes head ... no results ::

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::Sees the CSO modulating:: CSO: Don't bother. We're quite capable of blocking most Federation and Starfleet scanning techniques.

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Arms crossed::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: looks at Thorn :: Thorn: Why do you find that necessary?

Host David_Thorn says:
# CSO: I prefer not to give my enemies any advantage.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> # ::Stares at Rebecca:: Rebecca: What are you?

Host David_Thorn says:
<Rebecca> # ::Walks over and stands behind Thorn, smiling at him:: ALL: His wife.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: And yet we were able to scan the area before entering.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ XO: Sometimes memories are forgotten. Or are remembered, but what made them good memories was forgotten. I help to make them resurface. And freeze them in these orbs, so they can be forever remembered in their prime, perfect condition.

Host David_Thorn says:
# CO: That was before ... this is after.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: Indeed.   It would appear from our entrance here that things are not going too well on Eden.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::looks very frustrated and wishes that the CSO was on board.::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::glances at the CMO and then leans on the wall with a heavy shrug.. decides to just let the irrational humans handle things and keeps her phaser ready just incase::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> # ::Looking between Thorn, Sulek and Rebecca. Extremely confused::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Sensei: You still haven't answered my question. Why store the memories? So Thorn can....refresh himself in them? Sort of a "cleansing"?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::looks around the bridge:: All: Any ideas?

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ XO: Yes, that is one way of putting it. I would like to hope the "refreshing" would come from the initial experience. How they live their life afterwards is up to them.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Craven> @ ::Rolls eyes:: This is such b.s.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::has a dumb idea::  FCO:  Send another shuttle?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::finally pipes up:: Sensei: how hard is it for you to perform these sessions?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trebor/Craven: Okay, are we wasting time here?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Rebecca: And if it is thought that you were dead, may I ask, was that information wrong or are you a clone?

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ CNS: It requires some concentration.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::considers it:: CTO: Manned?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::brightens up::  FCO:   Oh... unmanned... I hadn't thought of that.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Rebecca> # CO: Let's just say rumors of my passing were incorrect.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::thinks about it::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Sensei: have you ever seen my species before?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::thinks about the likelihood that it too would get stolen::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::is getting a headache::

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ XO: I'm beginning to think so, Commander ... there seems to be no obvious answer here other than he is lying, and we're being tricked.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::irritated:: Trebor/Craven: Sounds like we need Thorn Here to go back to his happy place. ::suspicious:: You knew this wouldn't work didn't you. Tell me, why are we really here?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Rebecca: an evasive answer.  Thorn: You still have not answered the question as to why you expected us?

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ XO: Oh, don't start, Commander. We're grasping for straws here.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Craven> @ XO: It's the only reason we'd listen to one of Raythan's stupid ideas. He probably sent us on some wild goose chase in hopes of us getting killed ...

Host David_Thorn says:
# CO: Sulek, my friend, haven't you learned by now that I am aware of all that goes on around me? I haven't gotten this far by luck alone.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ CNS: You are a Caitian. I am familiar with your people, yes.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Do me a favor. Take our guests outside while I talk to them alone. Make sure they don't do anywhere. Trebor/Craven: Mind is I talk with the Sensei alone? I have an idea ::bemused::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Listens intently to the conversation::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Craven> @ XO: Whatever.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@Sensei: is there a way to protect those.. glowing things.. if you did this to me and let the Doctor observe with her tri-corder?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: I did not imply that you did.  However, recent events would indicate that your omniscient ability is not always accurate.

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Nods:: XO: Do what you can, Commander. We'll be departing soon enough. This is obviously pointless.

Host David_Thorn says:
#CO: Is that so?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CTO: Have you tried to run a remodulated random frequency scan? Perhaps we can punch through just long enough.........

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Shouts and cheering are heard in the distance on Eden. There is the sound of screaming and sudden weapons fire.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
FCO:  A what?  Oh right...  ::gets to work on that::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> # ::Looks in the direction of the noise:: Oh god, it's begun ...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Thorn/Craven: I'd like you to stay. CNS: Take them outside. It they attempts ANY method of leaving, Kill them

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ CNS: No. They are too sensitive.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# Sulek: Captain... the situation here is deteriorating badly. We should escort Mr. Thorn off the base as soon as possible.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:

@ ::sighs and walks to the 2 big purple guys and the 2 human storm agents.. holding a hand out toward the door:: Trebor/Craven: if you would please..

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ XO: Ever the diplomat, Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: It would seem so.  You are now forced, from the sounds outside to maintain control in a far from a manner of your once idylic ideals.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trebor: Just trying to get to the bottom of this, with or without you

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@CMO: good luck doctor.. 

CMO_Munro says:
@CNS: Thanks.

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::Nods with a sigh, standing up:: CO: I suppose. Eden is finished. The Storm is going into ... hibernation, if you will.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
FCO:  Ummm... I think there might be weapons firing on the asteroid, but I can't be certain.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: There is an explosion on Eden somewhere. The entire asteroid shakes.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CTO: Can you lock on?

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ XO: Mmmmhmmm. ::Nods and Craven, and the two of them exit::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Kraight: I do not believe that leaving Eden is now possible.  Transporters have already been jammed and if we were indeed expected, I imagine our shuttle too has been taken.

@:: once out side:: Trebor: what makes you think it's pointless to be here? this was in a sense your idea...

Host David_Thorn says:
<Rebecca> # Thorn: David ... I think it's time to leave now ... it might be safest if we go with them.

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::Smiles:: Rebecca: You thought that too, dear?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::taps away madly at her console trying to find a break::

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ CNS: Some things often make sense when you have no other options.

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::Steps down and holds out his hands:: CO: I surrender, Captain Sulek.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# Sulek: I can no longer contact the shuttle's computer, sir. It has either been taken out of range, or destroyed.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Trebor: are there any medical or transporter scans you could obtain on Thorn?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Sensei: I'm going to be brief here. What would you say to...renting me a few of these globes? Payment of your choice. Oh....and one more thing with the globes. I'd like you to store the minds of Trebor and Craven in them - temporarily. You see, they are out to hurt Thorn, in any manner possible. I want to save them. I need them "Out of the picture so to speak" Are you capable of a little mind wiping, as long as it's temporary

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CTO: Contact the CSO...tell him we're sending in another shuttle.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: Then if you wish to leave, I suggest you release the dampening field.  ::knows that there is more to this than Thorn is letting on::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> # ::Watching Rebecca nervously::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
FCO:  I can't reach him.  Although the shuttle probably could once it's inside the field.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ ::Looks troubled:: XO: I do not hand over people's memories like that. And I am not capable of doing what you have suggested ... and if I were, I would not do that. Violation like that, on such a level, is horrible.

Host David_Thorn says:
# CO: I'm afraid that is beyond my control now ... ::Looking at a screen across the room::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::nods:: CTO: Send in our best pilot....and a small security detail.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Sensei: I understand. It's beyond you then.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: I know that with you things are seldom as simple as you would make it appear.  Given the circumstance, however, I accept.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
FCO:  Right.  Permission to go as security?

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ XO: I'm afraid so. I am sorry.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::looks concerned::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: What needs to be done to release the field?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::notifies the shuttlebay to prepare a shuttle for launch::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: On the screen Thorn is staring at, an image of the main center of operations of Eden is shown. Remaining loyal Storm personnel are in hand to hand / phaser combat with civilians attempting to storm the facility.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::notifies a pilot and security to report to the shuttlebay::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::nods reluctantly::

Host David_Thorn says:
# CO: Getting to the command center. You'd have a better chance of survival getting a shuttle.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::gets up from her chair and dashes to the TL::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Sensei: Why thank you then. I will take my leave of you. I suppose I will need to deal with them myself. Good day

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ CNS: I have access to all of the information. Just not right now.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: You know the facility, I suggest you lead the way to your shuttle bay.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ XO: Of course Mr. Pangborn.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::riding in the TL wondering if she really knows what she's doing::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:

CMO_Munro says:
@::Exits with the XO::

# Sulek: Aye, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::exits::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> # ::Walks with the AT:: <W> CO: That cannot be Rebecca Thorn. She is dead. Her death is one of the main reasons Thorn formed the Storm!

@Trebor: So what now genius? ::fingers his Phaser::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget> CTO: Ready?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ XO: sir.. calm down

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
Flibber:  Get clearance and let's get going.  ::straps herself in::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget>::radios for clearance::

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ XO: No idea.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ XO: your behavior is.. not helping our mission..

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::clears the shuttle for flight::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::looks at the rest of the security squad wondering if she just sent them all to their death::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#::takes out his phaser and follows Thorn:: Raythan: I concur.   I do not believe that she is a simple clone, either.  Our earlier scans would have revealed her.  I doubt that Thorn's jamming capability could be that specific.  Besides, if she were only a replacement, he would not have kept her hidden from you.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Watches the XO carefully::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The sounds of chaos fill Eden. The earlier meeting of the civilian populace has given way to an all out rebellion. Eden civilians, along with "traitorous" Storm personnel, are now trying to take control. An all-out war between the people of the Storm has begun.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Suggestions?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ XO: if your done.. why don't you let me and the doctor speak with the alien.. perhaps we can find something you missed

CMO_Munro says:
@XO: Should I scan him, sir?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Have at it. I'll watch our guests

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget>::begins the flight sequence::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: follows Thorn and his wife out the door, looking back along the corridor every few seconds as they proceed ::

ACTION: While the sounds of chaos continue ... there are no signs of battle nearby ...

CMO_Munro says:
@::Pulls out her tricorder::

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::Does not look troubled by the war which is ravaging his carefully put together facility::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: starts scanning again ::

#::constantly looking for possible attackers as they follow thorn through the corridors::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget>: ::carefully pilots the shuttle out of the bay::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ :: nods and looks to the CMO.. then goes back tot he door and pears in past the 2 big purple guys::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::hangs on::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget>::inputs the correct coordinates::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CNS: Take Munro

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: A second shuttle departs the Quirinus, it's mission? To rescue the AT.

CMO_Munro says:
@ XO: Sir I am detecting signs of Trgle and Grgle, however I do not believe the Sensei is in that room.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::is sitting tensely on the bridge wondering if she just sent Cherry and that nice Flibbergidget to their deaths.::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Sensei: pardon me.. but may I speak with you?

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ CNS: Certainly.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ ::Still seated::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#::moving up to Thorn:: Thorn: When I was last here, this did not seem as you intended, but you changed your plans.  Why did you return to confront the Federation?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: realizes that the dampening field has faded for the moment... turns and begins scanning Thorn and his wife... ::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Suddenly two Storm personnel bust into the corridor in front of the CO's team ... their weapons drawn.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget>::looks at the CTO reassuringly::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::continues hanging on::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Storm Officer One> # Thorn: Commandant, sir! What is going on? ::Aims at the CO::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CMO: A holographic projection?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@:: goes back in and has a seat trying to think of the right words and maybe find some answers:: 

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Sensei: sir .. ::looks around the room:: are you one of these memories? or are you real? physical matter?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget>CTO: We should be in range of the 'roid shortly.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Rebecca> # Storm Officer One: They're trying to kidnap your leader, I suggest you take care of them ... ::Smiles and gestures to the CO 'n co.::

CMO_Munro says:
@XO: No sir whatever it is it is not a hologram.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
Flibber:  Is the shuttle in any danger?  In passing through the field, I mean?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: notes something odd on the tricorder... but a Storm officer's challenge distracts him from the anomaly ::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Storm Officers> # ::Begin to fire at the AT::

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::Smiles at his wife and ducks::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#::looks at the officer calmly and puts up his hand.:: Officer one:  We are taking the Commandant to safety.  Do you know this woman?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CMO: Go in and speak with him. You might get a more accurate picture of what he is in there

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: aims at Storm officer, fires .. set for heavy stun ::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget>::checks his readouts:: CTO: So far, so good. Try hailing them.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The CSO's blast takes out the lead Storm officer.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Nods then heads into the room::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ CNS: I am as real as you. Why would I be a memory?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
COMM:  CSO:  Do you read?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#::in the delay he shoot a stun at the second officer::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: checks quickly behind and ahead for more Storm attackers ::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Both Storm agents go down.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Sensei: I don't recall you picking anything up.. or even moving that much.. and you could see thru the commanders ruse.. and you seem to have had a chat with Trebor.. the taller human.. and yet you didn't exchange words.. 

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::tries to get a transporter lock on the AT::

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::On the ground, one of the unconscious officers goes down near him:: Hmph. Helaxians have good shots.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: That was foolish.  I suggest that you not try it again.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Walks up to the Sensei unsure of what to ask::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Sensei> @ ::Gestures at the lack of arms:: It's hard to pick up anything when you have no arms, Lieutenant.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:

Host David_Thorn says:
<Rebecca> # CO: I think you coming here was foolish, Captain.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: Move on.  Rebecca: Perhaps.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Kraight: can they get a lock?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Sensei: you have a point.. but the humans did believe you to have some answers.. perhaps we didn't ask the right questions.. was Thorn alone when he came?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::can't get a transporter lock::  Flibber:  Nothing yet.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Begins to modify the Transidual amplifier before beginning to scan once more::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Rebecca> # ::Smiles as Thorn gets up:: CO: You're really grasping at straws here, aren't you Captain?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::mutters something under his breath::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# Sulek: I don't think so, sir. The dampening field is weakening, but still strong enough to block a transporter lock.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Nothing happens in the room when the CMO activates her tricorder, despite the Sensei's warning.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Sounds of fighting draw near.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
COMM:  CSO:  Can you read me now?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Kraight: Keep trying to boost the signal.  Thorn: we need to move on.  ::ignores Rebecca who seems to think she can bait him::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Several shuttles and pods eject from Eden and begin to move in various directions. Some of them detect the "Helaxian Freighter" [Quirinus] and move in it's direction, hailing to ask for help.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
Flibber:  Sheesh... you'd think it was about to blow up or something.  ::tries again to get a transporter lock::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:

# ::Makes no move:: CO: I think we've moved enough, Captain.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Moves around the Sensei trying to see if her position would make a difference::

Host David_Thorn says:

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget>::swerves around an escape pod::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Rebecca> # ::Walks through the force-field, causing a brief sizzle, but having no effect on herself:: CO: You haven't gotten it yet, have you Sulek?

<General Trebor> @ XO: Um ... commander?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:

CMO_Munro says:
@CNS: It doesn't appear so.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::irritated:: Trebor: What?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Sensei: wait! your lying to us.. who are you and what are you trying to hide?

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Gestures behind them:: XO: Friends of yours?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:

@ Alien: your not even close to my worst night mare.. your not wearing plaid... ::turns to see more weird creatures come in.. looking like dogs with bad hair cuts::

Host David_Thorn says:

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Alien: the oldest and worst enemy is a lie.. and if your a lie you can be defeated.. 

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Thorn: You have been badly used.  This woman is not your wife.  She is known to us I believe a non-corporeal being which thrives on terror and violence.  She has done this to your Eden.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::continues the evacuation effort::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ACTION: The robed figures in the Sensei's room move toward the CMO & CNS.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#::Turns to Kraight:: Kraight: Modulate the tricorder to emit the EM blocking signal for the ghost.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trebor/Craven: Retreat into the building

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ACTION: One of the Robed Figures strikes the CMO hard, sending her sprawling into the orbs, and knocking her unconscious as her phaser goes off ... striking the CNS in the process, and causing her last words to be her final as she slips into unconsciousness ...

# :: working on tricorder :: Sulek: Trying that now, sir...

Host David_Thorn says:
<"Rebecca"> # CO: Oh yes ... the grand EM blocking signal ... remember how that worked the last time? ::Referring to when it appeared on the ship after they used it::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
<FCO Flibbergidget> CTO: Can you get a lock?

Host David_Thorn says:
<"Rebecca"> # CO: Now let's see how your clever deductive skills have played out ... do you realize why I've brought you here?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
Flibber:  I'm trying!  ::tries again::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> # ::Standing nearby, quite confused::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: adjusts the tricorder to set up a subspace harmonic with the dampening field ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:Hits the stun button on the control device, still retreating into the room::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ACTION: The XO's retreat into the room is successful ... except he stumbles over the tattered body of Trgle and falls ...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#Kraight: Continue.  Rebecca: what drives you more than vengeance?  Only that I did not give you what you wanted before.  I will not give it to you this time either.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: the resultant field matrix should have the effect of an amplified version of the original EM field used some months ago on the Quirinus ::

Host David_Thorn says:
<"Rebecca"> # CO: Silly man. You already have ... you sent me what I wanted ... all wrapped up with a bow! ::Giggles::

CMO_Munro says:
@:: The ground around her feels cold and distant. She can't feel anything. What she hears sounds like a fantasy inside her mind::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
#::points to Thorn:: Rebecca: No one will follow him now.  He is your puppet but his strings are gone.  ::dawning:: Pangborn? Why him?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
# :: obviously, the local field needs more power to affect the entity... quietly, Kraight begins to connect the power cell from his phaser into the tricorder's subspace field coils ::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
Flibber:  Got it!  ::initiates transport of the CO and CSO::
