Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP: Both team's missions seemed to have reached some fruition ... but not in the way they had planned. It has been revealed that Rebecca, supposedly David Thorn's wife brought back from the dead, and the mysterious Sensei are the same being ... otherwise known as the "Ghost Entity / Trickster" who had troubled the Quirinus crew months earlier.

Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP: The Being, who had also been responsible for an assassination attempt on the XO, seemed to suggest that there was much more to what was happening than the destruction of the Storm.

Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP: However, things took a turn for the worse when the "Trickster's" lackeys, demonic lizard entities, assaulted the XO's team, easily defeating them, resulting in the XO being taken. Meanwhile, on Eden, the civilian populace rebelled against their Storm leaders ... their rebellion being cut short by David Thorn self-destructing Eden ...
 
Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP: ... supposedly taking the Captain and Kraight up with them.

Host SM_Selan says:
And now the Continuation ...

Host SM_Selan says:
U.S.S. Quirinus Stardate 10311.03 "Throwing the Board" Episode One

Host SM_Selan says:
BEGIN MISSION

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@:: laying under another crew member.. think it's the doctor.. can taste her own blood.. hurts to breath.. not a good sign::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The explosion from Eden rocks the Quirinus ... even though they are at great distance. The remaining escape pods from the doomed Storm base beg for entry onto the Starfleet vessel.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::Tossing and writhing as he wakes, finding himself restrained::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Onboard the CTO's shuttle, the CO, CSO and Raythan materialize safely ... although a bit bruised.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CNS senses other presences ... shadowed figures moving about as her consciousness is regained ...

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::is very worried::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::standing on the pad, he looks around getting his bearings::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: looks at Sulek :: Sulek: You are most definitely not the Great Maker, sir.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The XO is chained onboard what appears to be a Storm runabout.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*CTO*: The is the Quirinus...can you hear me, Cherry?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
ShuttleFCO:  Back to the ship!  Fast!

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@::tries to move her body parts.. checking for breaks.. notices someone there:: whoever: who's there? ::rather quietly since it’s hard to breath::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Self: This is bad ::tries to move his head to see better::

Host SM_Selan says:
<ShuttleFCO> ::Staring at the fiery embers from the destroyed asteroid base:: CTO: Aye, sir! ::Quick about::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
*FCO*:  We've got them.  On our way back now.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO/CSO:  Are you all right, Sirs?

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: There is a familiar laughter ... not that of demonic monsters or the Ghost Being ... but that of some Ferengi ...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Kraight:: And whatever would make you believe that I was.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::sighs in relief and slumps back into the captain's chair::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: An unfamiliar [to the XO at least] brunette is leaning against a wall before the XO.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: I was not expecting to see anyone else at this point.

Host Rebecca says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Coughs hard, then looks out the window:: Oh my god.

Host Rebecca says:
# XO: Feeling okay honey?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Cherry: We appear to be largely intact, Ensign.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Stepping down and entering into the cockpit of the shuttle:: Cherry: Thank you for your timely intervention, Ensign.  Status.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::growls and sticks her clawed hand out from under the CMO is a fully clawed air grab.. claws at the wall.. and growls more from pain then annoyance.. but is pretty POed to boot::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::grins at the CSO::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::looks at the Brunette:: Brunette: Yes, if you could just let me up, Ill be leaving.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: sits at a side panel and begins configuring it to remotely access the Q's sensor arrays ::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  You're alive!  That's just great.

Host Rebecca says:
<Ferengi One> @ Well well well ... two healthy looking females ... I think we can get much for them on the slave trade ... the Breen are good buyers, eh?

Host Rebecca says:
<Ferengi Two> @ ::Kicks one of the dead Dodoth guardians:: Better than these.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looking out the window:: Cherry: Yes I am alive.  Anything else to report?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::thinks::  CO:  Not really Sir.  Morgan is minding the Quirinus.

Host Rebecca says:
# ::A good amount of giggly laughter:: XO: Certainly, let me just help you out ... ::Reaches over, and her hand passes right through the shackles:: OOPS! Forgot about that pesky non-corporeal thing. Can't help you sweety.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::looks around the bridge and thinks that it'll be great to give the captain back his ship::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@::snarls and pulls her injured body out form under the CMO.. with out moving her to much.. sniffs and looks at the small critters:: Ferengi: and you look like a tasty meal for a hungry cat.. ::eyes then.. her voice fully deep and Caitian since her translator is busted.. huffs and growls::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::eyes that Raythan character suspiciously::

Host Rebecca says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Looks horrified at the loss of Eden:: So many lives ... how could he ...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Brunette: What are you? Who are you?

CMO_Munro says:
@::Feels the CNS pull away. Her eyes flutter open::

Host Rebecca says:
# ::Transforms into ...::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Morgan: Sulek, here.  Take in any of survivors that we can, but keep them in a secure location and disarm them.  Lay in a trace course to follow Pangborn and prepare to make top speed as soon as we are aboard.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::wonders where the XO is::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::is glad the Captain is aboard to take charge of things::

Host The_Sensei says:
# XO: You don't remember?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::licks her teeth and slobbers getting the taste of blood from her mouth.. looks down as the CMO wakes up too:: CMO: doc.. Tor.. you O.K.? ::holds her side.. the snapping sound indicated a few ribs broke from the impact::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CSO:  What happened down there?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: Life readings indicate less than half of the population of Eden has survived, sir. Virtually none of the base has remained intact.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Carefully feels around for her phaser trying not to move to much::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
COMM: Sulek: Already in progress, Sir....we've taken on quite a few survivors already, Sir. They are being held in cargo bay <insert number here>. They have received medical attention and clean clothes as well as food.

Host The_Sensei says:
<Ferengi One> @ ::Sees the CNS & CMO coming to:: Two: Better get our pets caged up ... ::Pulls out one of those nifty Ferengi whips from way back when::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::listens to the CSO's report::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Sensei: I remember....I can't quite put my finger on it

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Cherry: I'm... not entirely certain. It seems that Eden had a self-destruct capability, and that Thorn elected to use it.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Start working on a way to follow the Ghost.  It must leave a trace.

Host The_Sensei says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Hears the CSO's report, and puts one hand over his eyes, shaking his head in disbelief::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::looks at the bridge crew:: ALL: Lay in the trace pattern as the captain has ordered.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Looks up at her:: CNS: I think I’m fine, but what about you?

Host The_Sensei says:
# XO: Can you take a wager on who I really am? ::Shape shifts into Captain Sulek::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@::growls more and lets her mouth foam up.. bends down feeling for the CMO's dropped phaser::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Sensei: You are evil.. I can feel it

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CSO:  Was he there?  Did he destroy himself?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: Scanning for the known subspace harmonics of the entity, sir...   :: taps panel ::

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
# XO: Evil is relative. You could be evil under the right circumstances.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Cherry: Thorn was a few feet away from me when the base exploded. I do not know if he survived.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::wonders what entity the CSO is talking about, but figures she should stop asking stupid questions::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Tries to move but feels her body ache all over::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::contacts sickbay for the latest medical update::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ CMO: we have otherrr.. Problemss... rright now.. hsss...

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::nods thoughtfully::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Sensei: you're a changeling, That’s obvious to even me. But what purpose do you have?

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
# XO: Hmmm ... purpose ... purpose ... right, I have to do something ...

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan: We may need your services for the survivors.  In addition, we will need anything you can tell us about this Sensei the Thorn used.  I realize that this is a terrible loss for you, but I need you to stay focused.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
ShuttleFCO:  How much longer?

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Still sort of in shock, then registers what the CO said:: CO: Yes ... yes ... of course.

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
<ShuttleFCO> CTO: Docking now, ma'am.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@::folds her ears back at the Ferengi:: CMO: need to get up Doc.. I know it hurtsss..  ::still looking for a phaser.. and finds one.. no wait its the communicators with the stun cartridge::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Realizes that her or CNS Ris`Mor’s Universal translator must be malfunctioning::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: I am unable to trace the entity, sir. However, there are indications that a ship with a Storm warp signature made a jump to subspace within the last few minutes.

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
ACTION: The CTO's shuttle comes up on the Quirinus, and docks in the increasingly crowding shuttlebay. Security is escorting Storm survivors from other intact docked shuttles.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Sensei: Well if your not going to kill me, which I suspect you could do rather easily, why don't we cut to the chase and you tell me what you need me for. you do need me

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::flips open the hatch::  ShuttleFCO:  Nice flying.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::perkily jumps out of the shuttle::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::,moves to the door and opens it:: All: Duty stations.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::stops to look at all the activity in the shuttlebay::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Morgan* How many more survivors are waiting to be picked up?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
*FCO*:  We're back.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::sets the toy to over load.. should make a nice stun field burst.. tosses it at the feet of the Ferengi:: Ferengi: here.. nice pretty toys.. nice profit

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Steps out of the shuttle and onto the deck of the Quirinus for the first time in ages::

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
<Ferengi One> @ ::Looks down:: Oh de--

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
ACTION: The phaser goes off ... both Ferengi are thrown backwards unconscious.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::decides to keep a close eye on Raythan::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::grins in relief::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: Sir, I'm going to go to Astrometrics. I have an idea that may find that missing Storm vessel.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::stops the nearest Security officer, Lt.Jg. Drubble:: Drubble: If need be jettison the pods on this bay so more can come in

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ CMO: that worked..

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*CO*: We've dented the numbers, Sir....but there are quite a few.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::checks her stats:: *CO*: Thirty pods in all.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: heads for the nearest turbolift ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Drubble: and see about deactivating the weapons before they are on board.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::wearily nods behind the facade of a man fading:: Sensei: I know you....you've been here before

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  Good thinking Sir.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
TL: Astrometrics.   :: doors whoosh closed ::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@CMO: you think our rrriide is still here?

CMO_Munro says:
@CNS: I hope so.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Morgan* Take only those that will not survive for any length of time.  Send word to Starfleet to get a ship out here to pick-up the rest.  Beam the others whatever supplies they may need until they can be picked up.

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
# ::Taps the bald head of Sulek that it wears:: XO: You can call me the Trickster. Or "hey you" whatever works.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Sensei: You tried to trick us. Make us think we were crazy or seeing things. But it was only you - just the one

Host Captain_Sulek_the_Second says:
# ::Transforms into ... ::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@::stands up as best she can.. still holding her side tightly.. feels her collar translator fall off her necka nd crack apart on the floor.. :: 

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns to head for the bridge::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ CMO: any sign of Pangborn?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::follows the CO and whispers::  CO:  What about him Sir?  ::points at Raythan::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
OPS: Contact SFC and update them as to the captain's return and ask for a Medical/Rescue team to be deployed.

Host Commander_Pangborn_the_Second says:
# XO: Just one of me, yes. That's the fun of it.

Host Commander_Pangborn_the_Second says:
# XO: And oh, is the fun just starting ... we have quite an adventure ahead of us, Mr. Pangborn.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: exits on Deck Four, heads immediately to Astrometrics ::

CMO_Munro says:
@:: Begins to scan the area for Pangborns signal::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#:laughs:: Pangborn_the_second: Yes, and as I recall, you have no real power here. Except through us. Your a charade

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::looks around for Trebor and Craven too::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
<OPS>FCO:  Aye.  ::does as ordered::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: Raythan will do what he needs to do.  You can rely on him.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@::kicks the Ferengi as she steps over them:: oops .. hhmm

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::doubts it, but considers it an order::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::wishes the captain would hurry up::

Host Commander_Pangborn_the_Second says:
# XO: Hmmm ... yeah. That's jus about right. But for someone that's pretty powerless ... ::Gestures around at the XO being chained up:: I've gotten pretty far, wouldn't you say?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::enters the TL:: Bridge.  Express.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::enters the TL behind the CO::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Folds up tricorder:: CNS: I can't find him on my Tricorder.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  What now Sir?  Go after the Executive Officer and his team?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#:::grins weakly:: Pangborn the second: Your still a fake. You will not win.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: enters Astrometrics :: Branin: Ensign Branin, prepare sensor pallet 13-B for long-range subspace interferometer scan.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::nods at OPS as she relays the latest stats::

Host Commander_Pangborn_the_Second says:
# ::Shrugs:: XO: Dream whatever you like, son. Still not going to change anything. I've got to go now, I have things to do ... but don't worry, I haven’t left you alone ... you have someone you'll probably have more fun talking to ...

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
<Branin> Kraight: Aye, sir.   :: she moves immediately to another LCARS panel ::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: begins making adjustments to main Astrometrics computer ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::arrives on the bridge:: Morgan: Do we have the survivors that need us on board? ::moving down to chair::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ CMO: then we.. need to contact the ship.. somehow.. lets get out of this stupid.. room and back tot he shuttle.. or find transportation..

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::head falling to one side:: Pangborn the second: You're crazy as a loon

Host Commander_Pangborn_the_Second says:
# ::Chuckles:: XO: That's what makes me fun I'm told. ::Fades away::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::gives the FCO the "thumbs up" as she enters the bridge with the CO::

CMO_Munro says:
@CNS: The question is how do we do that?

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::Calls from the front of the runabout:: XO: Don't mind he ... she ... it ... they take some getting used to.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::stands gratefully:: CO: Aye, Sir....all of the badly injured have been brought on board.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Helping with the Storm survivors::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::smiles at Cherry::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Thorn: It took a part of all of you - and me. You're just a memory of what was. Tell me Thorn, what have you come to enlighten me about?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: moves over to Branin's console :: Branin: We're going to scan the sector for a subspace disturbance of the same amplitude and domain as the one the departing Storm ship left behind here.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::walks out of the sensei's room and into the hall..:: CMO: I don't know.. we could always steal a Ferengi ship..

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CO: SFC has been notified as well, Sir.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::moves to the tactical station and logs on::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Follows her:: CNS: Well it's a plan.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: Good.  Lay in course for last known location of the XO's team, I believe it was Luna Negra.  Warp 9.95.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: Kraight and Branin complete the sensor configuration ::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::pauses:: CO: Good to have you all back, Sir.  ::walks back to her own station and relieves Lt. H'mgbyrd::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: As the CNS exits, she finds the usual cacophony of pirates, criminals. It's as if everything went on as normal after the battle nearly an hour ago ... Craven and Trebor are gone.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  We are presently at condition green Captain.  Maintain?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::sits down and lays in the course as ordered::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::looks around the area for Trebor and Craven.. doesn't see nor smell them:: CMO: you remember how to get back to the shuttle?

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CO: Course laid in, Sir....warp nine on your command.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: With Eden gone there is probably little threat. However, I would prefer to err on the side of caution.  Full shields.  Take us to yellow alert.

Host David_Thorn says:
# ::Sets the Runabout on a continued path, and turns around in his chair:: XO: Not really here to enlighten you about anything, Mr. Pangborn. Only here to deliver you to your destination. Our fates.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Looks around:: CNS: I... Think I do.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: takes one last look at the panel :: Branin: That's it. Activate scanning program.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::initiates yellow alert::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
<Branin> :: taps console :: Kraight: Online, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Thorn: And where might that be?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: And thank you for your reminder.  Morgan: Engage.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ CMO: lead the way then.. I'm having problems with my concentration.. where's SFI when you need them huh.. ::coughs up some blood and wipes it off her mouth on her sleeve::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::smiles and thinks she's starting to enjoy this tactical thingy::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::takes the ship to warp 9.95::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Looks around once more and notices the blood on her sleeve:: CNS: Lets go this way. ::Points to their right and continues to walk::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The Quirinus leaps into warp ... leaving the graveyard that is Eden behind ... the Storm is over.

Host David_Thorn says:
# XO: Where all of this mess began, I'm afraid ...

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ CMO: the shuttle is where we need to go.. I hope your not dragging me to a medical facility around this place.. i might end up dead.. ::coughs:: and sold for spare parts in this dump

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::watches the tactical sensors::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: Kraight and Branin study the holographic display in the darkened Astrometrics lab :: <Branin> Kraight: Sir... is this what we're looking for?  :: points ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Engineering* Maintain high warp for as long as you can.

CMO_Munro says:
@ CNS: Don't worry no medical place just the shuttle.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: peers at the indicated spot :: Branin: Indeed it is, Ensign. Excellent work.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::brushes a lose strand of hair out of her face as she checks their coordinates::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ CMO: good.. ::holds her ribs tighter so she can walk a bit faster.. heaving with each breath::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: the attractive blonde human smiles at the CSO's praise ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Thorn: Refresh me memory. Or let me put it this way. Where the hell are you taking me? ::Clenched teeth::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: A group of Gorn eye the CNS & CMO, but do nothing. The usual bar fight from earlier has continued unabated. It's like demonic attacks are the usual around here.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: Take us to maximum speed.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Hears the CNS unsure of how long she can last::

Host David_Thorn says:
# XO: We can't risk you possibly having some pesky telepathic bond ... so I'm afraid it's going to have to be a surprise ...

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::watches the eyes as they follow them.. and looks at the CMO:: CMO: your communicator.. maybe you can get the computer to start pre-flight from here.. and emergency beam out.. ::coughs again::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::edges the ship up to maximum::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
*CO*: Kraight to Bridge. We've located the exit point of the departed Storm runabout. It rode a subspace fold to Luna Negra, Captain.

CMO_Munro says:
@::Thinks about that for a second:: CNS: Your right! ::Begins to work with the small pin::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Kraight* Can you duplicate?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::frustrated:: Thorn: Fine have it your way. You know if you have any decency left you let me up. Where would I go?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#<can let>

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Branin: Thank you for your assistance, Ensign. Carry on.   :: exits Astrometrics lab ::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::leans on the wall for a moment to catch her breath.. finds breathing deep getting harder.. can only taste blood now.. looks up and down the hall to make sure they are not being followed.. a Caitian in civilian cloths and a Starfleet medical officer in uniform.. interesting pair in this place::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
*CO*: No, sir. Our engines are entirely unsuitable for creating a subspace fold. We'll have to get the Luna Negra the old-fashioned way, I'm afraid.

Host David_Thorn says:
# XO: I'm an old man now, Mr. Pangborn. I could handle being chained like that, and so can you.

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
CO: Maximum warp, Sir.

CMO_Munro says:
@CNS: Are you okay? ::Pulls out her tricorder and scans the CNS::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::nods:: CMO: got that transporter.. ready?.. lets get out of here..

CMO_Munro says:
@::puts the tricorder away and taps her pin for the beam out::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The CNS & CMO are beamed to their shuttle ... only to find Craven & Trebor onboard and trying to get it to power up.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::still watching sensors::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ ::Turns:: Well I'll be damned.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::relaxes in the restraints and thinks of a long time ago, when this entity had become. Blurred visions play out on his eyelids when he closes his eyes::

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Seemingly injured, sitting in the chair, chuckles painfully:: Didn't think you all would make it ... I guess that's good for us too.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::stretches her neck a bit to get the kinks out::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ ::holds her breath as log as she can so her ribs won't move and just waits.. beams.. looks over at Trebor and gets really annoyed.. :: Trebor: Meat! ::her claws go out and she walks to his chair:: Trebor: so nice of you.. Human.. to think of our sssafety.. I should rip out your fleshy heart and eat it in appreciation for your kindness

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Rolls eyes:: CNS: Give me a break. We were in the middle of battle with those lizard things ... we had just managed to get those bracelets off when we saw them discharge ... you were planning on taking us out when the damn things were trying to kill us in the first place.

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ ::Narrows eyes:: CNS: I think we have a right to not bother to see if you made it through.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sits in the chair and waits...three hours and it;s a race against the clock::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Pulls the meds from a storage unit in the shuttle::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ ::Smiles at the CMO:: CMO: What'd I tell you ... Luna Negra is the place to be.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:

CMO_Munro says:
@::Looks at her for a second then returns to the medicine::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: steps out of the turbolift onto the bridge, relieves Sheridan at Science One ::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Trebor: that wasn't my idea.. and I didn't set them off.. and Pangborn didn't either.. and they were not designed to kill.. you pompous meat! ::blood drips from her mouth thru a set of fangs and her voice gets gurgelly::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::notices the CSO in his fresh uniform::

CMO_Munro says:
@::Walks over to the CNS:: CNS: This will help for the pain.

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ CNS: Well obviously they weren't designed to kill ... you're Starfleet officers, not Klingon soldiers. ::Chuckles hoarsely:: It's funny. You all seem to think we'll be fearful of your threats when most of us used to be one of you. We know your honor codes. We know what it means to be a member of Starfleet.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::falls into a fragmented sleep, haunted by ghostly visions. From afar he hears a woman - his mother - calling out "Jeremiah! Jeremiah!" He tries to answer her calls, even though that is not his name, he knows it is his mother::

*Raythan* I presume you are with the survivors.  Have you been able to gather any information from any of them or have you thought of anything we should know about the Sensei?

CMO_Munro says:
@::hypo's the CNS::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Trebor: rrright.. now.. I'm not in uniform.. and I don't care about a code of honor.. I just want to toss you out the air lock and watch you explode.. ::hisses::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Raythan> *CO* All I know of the Sensei is what was mentioned to me by Trebor & Craven. What does he have to do with this anyway? Also ... there's an interesting story going amongst some of the civilians who rebelled ... it seems they were encouraged by an outside party who promised them safety ...

CMO_Munro says:
@ALL: Just stop it! Were in this mess together so let's make the best of it!

Host David_Thorn says:
<Raythan> *CO* They believed it was SFI promising them sanctuary only if they assisted in bringing down the Storm. Some of the surviving Storm officers claim they were "called" off duty by loved ones who told them they had done it. Something or someone set this entire event up, Captain.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: A quiet goes over the shuttle as the usually timid CMO lets out her own roar for a change.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ ::Smiles, and mutters under her breath:: Knew the lil' gal had it in her ...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::The scene shifts and he watches himself writhe in agony on the floor of the bridge, trying to reach out to Sulek. The being is there, in the form of himself. He tries to fight but gives in to the vision::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Raythan* Creating conflict.  That would be the Ghost.  I would also deduce that the Sensei is the same being. Its ability to change form is quite remarkable.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Raythan> *CO* The Ghost, sir?

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::envies Jade and her nice comfy chair::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::wonders if Cherry misses her chair at all::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ CMO: Pangborn was right about them.. they were going to leave us to die.. ::limps to the communications panel and opens an emergency channel to the ship::

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ CNS: I agree with your companion. You seem severely injured, I'm not exactly in the best condition ... and before you know it, some pirates will be over to raid this shuttle. Is Pangborn dead?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Raythan* The entity which became Rebecca Thorn and thrives on destruction.  If you would like to go to a secure office in the cargo bay, I will give you access to our encounters with it.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Raythan> *CO* When I get a moment, sir. I'll be glad to. Hopefully it'll make me understand more what the hell is exactly going on here ...

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Trebor: we don't know.. lift us off.. ::keys in the lock out codes:: and get us back to the ship.. ::coughs.. more blood.. growls::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#Again the scenery changes. Images of his past flutter bye, each one a crystallized thought from a moment in time. He was floating through the ether of his encounters with the being at accelerated pace::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Raythan* Your insights would be most appreciated.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Deborah Craven> @ CNS: If you think we're going back to the Quirinus only to be caged and ...

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ Craven: Deb ... shut up. ::Smiles:: Most likely I have internal injuries, and the cat's growing on me, and her best chance is the Quirinus. Besides, I'm interested in getting back at that damn Sensei for whatever it did to the Commandant.

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> @ Craven: So get over here, take a seat, and plot in a course for wherever the others are.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ Craven: look.. work with me and well talk.. ::activates the subspace relays:: Trebor: lift off already.. ::clears throat::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Raythan> *CO* Understood, sir.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::figures since she's standing anyway, she'll exercise her butt muscles.  Clenches and releases. ..clenches and releases::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#:: a hot wet smothering smoke smolders around him as he looks on at the Sensei, it grinning, but never changing, just watching him die, again and again::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Can we find this being once we arrive at Luna Negra?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ COMM:  Quirinus: This is Ris`mor.. do you copy?

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The XO feels something shaking him, a voice speaking to him to bring him back from his nightmares ... "Wake up, Ben. Wake up ..."

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::wonders why Cherry is making those weird faces....she almost looks like she has to use the ladies' room....::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ COMM:  Quirinus: we were attacked.. injuries.. Pangborn is missing.. please respond..

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  Sir, the CNS is sending a comm!

CMO_Munro says:
@::watches everyone around her carefully. She does not want to end up dead because of these two, however they all kind of need each other right now.::

FCO_Ens_Morgan says:
::looks around at Cherry's voice::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
@ COMM:  Quirinus: We need immediate assis.. ::chokes and falls backwards tot he floor::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: I can't guarantee anything, sir... but we with the data we have on it already, we have a good chance.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
#::Hearing the voice, but  can't tell who it is...it is familiar, he slowly begins to wake::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Pangborn begins to awaken to find the front window facing a massive rocky temple hovering in space ... Thorn is standing before him ... "Welcome to your End, Commander. Welcome to the Beginning."
