Host SM_Selan says:
RECAP: The Quirinus crew is beginning to put together the pieces of the Trickster's plan. Alreaday they have learned of the being's origin [whether or not it's true remains to be seen], and has found some clues as to where it may have taken the XO. Meanwhile, Commander Pangborn is the victim of some horrific hallucinations ...

RESUME MISSION

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: The XO's mind is filled with darkness and pain ... both of which begin to fade as he rises to consciousness.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::in deflector control with the CSO working on the harmonic resonance frequencies::

CMO_Munro says:
::Walks out of Sickbay after her hours of work::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::abruptly sits up in his bed, sweating::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::cleaning another weapon happily::

Host Mathar_Raythan says:
@ ACTION: The XO's "bed" is actually a stone tablet. He is allowed to sit up, but an invisible force gently forces him down. There is stone all around him, and he feels cold. Very cold. Beyond him, he can see stars and darkness. Space.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: turns to Bishara :: Bishara: Almost done here, I think. Check the inverse phase compensators... they need to be within .005 of tolerance.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::takes her seat::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::groans as he realizes he is still a victim of this ruse, a ruse in which he must seemingly attempt to function in. All of the information he could garner from the computer and people aboard is corrupt...yet there must be way to fight these demons, an now here he was in this strange place::

CSO: Checking sir.  ::runs a fast diagnostic using her tricorder::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::shivers in the cold, delusional::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: How are you feeling? ::Standing nearby, leaning against a stone column::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CSO: Sir my diagnostics have come back and they are within normal parameters.  The compensators are within .005 of tolerance.

CMO_Munro says:
::Enters her quarters and throws her things down onto the couch::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Thorn: You. It had to be you. I'm a little indisposed, care to rectify that?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Bishara: Excellent. Your work has been exemplary, Ensign. I will be certain to mention your assistance to the Captain.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::snaps the weapon back into position with a satisfying click, then grabs another, whistling::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::struggles::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CSO: Thank you sir.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Bishara: I will report to him now. I suggest you return to Engineering; we may need additional power to the deflector relays if and when the entity returns.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: Even if I wanted to, I don't think I could break whatever's holding you down. It's beyond me.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
CO: Errrr...what sort of problems, sir?

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Exits onto the bridge::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::checks her nails not entirely sure the color of the polish suits her::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::enters the CEO's office and pulls up the last set of diagnostics that were run on the warp core and the shield grids::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Wolverton: You know, the usual fights that break out under stress and close quarters.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
CO: Its an automated beacon, Sir. Starfleet origin.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::taps the panel:: CO: On speaker, Sir.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
CO: Understood, sir! On my way! ::trots off happy at the prospect of getting to bust a few heads::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
"Warning. Current course takes you toward the 'Dead Sector.' (Corresponding coordinates which cover a few sectors) All subspace travel in this region is impossible. No warp fields can be formed. No subspace communications can be made. By order of Starfleet Command, you are to avoid this area. For your own safety."

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::listens to the warning::

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
CO: The message appears to be two years old, Sir.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:

OPS:  That's not good right?  This Dead Sector thingy?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::whistles in the TL on his way down::

CMO_Munro says:
*Sulek* Um... sir would you like me to report to Sickbay or the Shuttlebay?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: So we have indeed come to where it began.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::looks at Cherry with widened eyes::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: Sir, Ensign Bishara and I have rigged the deflector grid to create a harmonic resonance field around the ship. Based upon the information you gave me relating to the nature of the radiation from the Gelia Prime ore, I believe that this may permit us to deprive the entity of its power source.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
CO: Apparently, Sir.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: Just because my cause has managed to beat Starfleet around a few times does not mean we had bad intentions.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Munro* Shuttlebay.  There have been a few fights with minor injuries.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::exits the lift strolling joyfully toward the hangar::

CMO_Munro says:
*Sulek* Thank you, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Thorn: Yeah, you know what they say about good intentions. What are your intentions here?

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
Self: Hm....... there is nothing suspicious of these diagnostics.  They.............::looks up for a moment and sees the control board blinking a red light in the warp field sensors::

CMO_Munro says:
::Heads down to Shuttlebay after picking up equipment::

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Steps away from the column, and begins walking around the XO:: XO: All in due time, Commander. I'm curious though, what do you think the intentions of the Storm were? What were my intentions?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Navigation: Maintain course. Take us out of warp.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::gets up and leaves and goes to investigate::  Ens. Spanner: What do you make of this?????

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Hears the Captain's comment about "where it all began"::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::enters the hangar and looks for trouble::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> CO: Where are we going sir?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Thorn: I think you're a deranged maniac hell bent on destruction of the Federation for your own petty goals of self aggrandizement. What the hell else could I think after the stunts you've pulled.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::realizing that her companion was still on her shoulder, she points to his perch and he flies towards it and lands on it::  <Ens. Spanner> EO: Ma'am, it is just a small fluctuation but it is not serious.  It might be somewhere on the subspace plane though.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Nods:: XO: Fair enough, Commander. Now can I tell my side of the story?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan: into dead space

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Quirks eyebrow::

CMO_Munro says:
::Enters Shuttlebay::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::eyes everyone in the shuttlebay doubtfully™::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: hears a signal from Science One :: Sulek: Excuse me, sir...   :: steps up to his station and begins examining the panel ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Thorn: Hello? I'm a captive audience I must say...but feel free to entertain me. Looks like I've got nothing but...time. Or not.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::checks the charts::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: Send a message to Starfleet that we are entering the dead space area in pursuit of our XO and to face a being called the Trickster.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: There is silent murmuring through the shuttlebay. These are a people who have been through much. Now they are in the hands of those who they have felt would come to slaughter them all one day. These are the sounds of survivors.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir, we picked up a small fluctuation in the warp field, it could be nothing but it also may be on the subspace plane.  I am checking into it sir.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
CO: This seems to be leading us into the Madtion/Leopold Nebula, Sir.

CMO_Munro says:
::Begins to go around to those hurt and help them::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::listens to the silent murmuring, but can't hear anything...as it's silent::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning in the chair:: Kraight: Bring your harmonics on line.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: Understood.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::sends the message as ordered::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::still watching the board, the fluctuations are beginning to increase::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Eyes widen at the recognition of the nebulae:: CO: Captain, that's where we fought the Borg ...

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: Aye, sir.... This is interesting. There appears to be a pathway of undamaged subspace through the dead zone, sir. The runabout's course follows the pathway precisely.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
Self:  Borg?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::strolls around the survivors, observing and listening::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::checks tactical sensors::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
T'lar: When we enter dead space, we won't be able to bring warp on line.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
All: What the devil............?  Ens. Spanner: Get me a level 3 diagnostic of the warp field generators.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan: The trickster said that this will end where it began.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
CO: Scans will be almost useless in here, Sir. The subspace distortions are quite strong.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Sits on the edge of the table, near the XO's feet:: XO: I founded the Storm with my comrades at a time of great peril for the Federation. The Dominion War was in full swing. But our pacifistic, live and let live, ways had led us to nearly utter defeat. The Council's decisions, or rather indecisiveness, had brought us to this point.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::finds that the sensor data is too distorted to be useful::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO: Sir the fluctuations are increasing.  I think something is interfering with the warp field generators.  I have Ens. Spanner doing a level 3 diagnostic.  Will advise when I have the results.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: Understood. Lay probes if you need to, do the best you can.  I have every confidence in you.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ ::Oddly intrigued:: Thorn: And why should I believe you?

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: With their continued in-politics, the Federation would have surely been lost to the Dominion had we not taken action. I was concerned for the people of the Federation. My own family was slaughtered by the Cardassians due to mistakes made by the Council.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: I've seen Intelligence reports on me, Commander. They've pretty much assumed the truth.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::looks a bit surprised but nods::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*T'Lar* Take the generators off line.  Impulse power only.

CMO_Munro says:
::Finishes healing them and begins to pack up her things::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Understood sir taking the generators off line.  Going to impulse power now.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: Sir, I'm transferring the parameters of the subspace pathway to Navigation. We should be able to safely traverse the pathway at warp.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
Ens. Spanner: Kill the generators and go to impulse power now.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::relaxes bit and absorbs it all:: Thorn: So tell me then, if your actions "saved" the Federation, then why do you now seek it's destruction. Most...illogical.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::continues strolling suspiciously::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
ACTION Shuttle Bay: A quiet card game suddenly erupts into a fist fight.  One of the combatants hits the bulkhead and slouches unconscious to the floor.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
<Ens Spanner> EO: Yes ma'am.  ::he does as he is asked the ship is now on impulse power::

CMO_Munro says:
*SULEK* Sir?

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: As I told your Captain a few years ago, our ... plans have changed. We no longer seek the overthrow of the Federation Council. In the long run, I sought to create a paradise that extended beyond Eden. One that could protect all those who wished to join it. The New Federation need nothing to do with the original.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Doctor*?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::jumps into the fray and somewhat violently restrains the other person::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
*Sickbay*: Another injury down here.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Two Storm agents leap at the TO, assuming that the Starfleet official is just assaulting regular civilians for no reason.

CMO_Munro says:
*Sulek* I am done treating the people down here sir. Just thought I should report back.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::fires at the two agents at heavy stun::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: On the view screen, there is a surprising absence of stars. The subspace disruptions of the area somehow prevent most light from coming through on the other side. In the long distance, some color can be seen ... the remains of the Madtion / Leopold nebulae.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Thorn: I've about had it with the philosophy lesson about Storm - It doesn't justify those you've murdered in your pursuit. Can I please ask you some questions now? Like where the hell am I?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Understood.

CMO_Munro says:
::Notices a man in the corner and runs to him:: Man: Are you okay?

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: Both Storm agents go down. Cries of surprise and shock go through those on deck. A lot of civilian folk move their children out of the way, anticipating a fight. Many men step forward, but don't take any action, only making angered shouts at the TO.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
ALL: If you people would just try being civil for a while, none of this would have happened. Grow up!

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Action: Man groans but is unable to respond.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Nods:: XO: The heart of the Madtion nebula. The Eraw Star System to be exact. ::Gestures at some swirling gasses around them::

CMO_Munro says:
::Begins to scan him::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  Captain, the sensor data is too distorted to be useful.  Recommend yellow alert.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The comment to grow up doesn't seem to help at all.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::turns to the other man in the fight:: HIM: And you...I saw you throw that first punch. If you'd like to hang around in the brig, try that again.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Thorn: Well thank you. Now could you please ask whoever it is thats holding me down to quit? I'm obviously no threat here.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::looks up as Cherry addresses the Captain::

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::notices that Cherry is standing again::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::holsters his phaser, but is quite ready to draw it again in half a heartbeat::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: Agreed.  Take us to yellow alert.

CMO_Munro says:
::Taps her commbadge:: Computer: Computer two to beam directly to Sickbay.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: No, you're not a threat. And as I said earlier, I'm not in control of whatever, not whoever, is holding you down. It is beyond me.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::shifts her weight to the other foot and presses the yellow alert button thingy::

Morgan: Screen on, magnify the nebula.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: brings the harmonic resonance modifications online :: Sulek: Harmonic resonance screens have been engaged, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: since warp is off line, you may use extra power if need be.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: I'm here of my own free will, yes.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::taps a few buttons and brings the nebula up on the screen::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: taps a control :: Sulek: Harmonic resonance at 350 terajoules and holding steady, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Thorn: Then you must be able to communicate with this thing that binds me. To what end do you hold me?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::heads to a replicator as the security detail comes in:: SEC: Fan out, keep an eye on things. Heavy stun if necessary.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: Let's just say you're a sacrifice, of sorts ...

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
REPLICATOR: Coffee, black. Two of them.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: what data can we gather externally?

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: turns to a particular sensor panel that seems to be registering new data ::

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::looks at Cherry as she realizes that if someone was out there, they'd never know.::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::takes the coffees and walks over to the two men he stunned::

CMO_Munro says:
::Heals many of his injuries however because his lungs were punctured he will have to spend a few days in Sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ Thorn: Now why do I not like this answer? ::coldly:: You're the devil himself Thorn, my nemesis.

Host David_Thorn says:
@ XO: Now, don't be too vicious, Commander. No one ever said we were going to kill you.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::crouches, sets the coffee down and lightly slaps one of the stunned men back into a semblance of consciousness, then hands him a coffee...then does the same to the other::

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
Sulek: Readings are uncertain, sir... but sensors are picking up two ions storms converging on the ship. Bearings 150 mark 27 and 223 mark 89.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
Self:  Great....

CMO_Munro says:

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
CO:  Tactical sensors confirm, Captain.  Ion storms incoming.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:

@:;turn away, trying to block the visions:: Thorn: Leave as well. I have nothing for you

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
General: You'll understand if I don't share your pain, sir.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Ensign Cherry the Second> @ ::Steps up by Thorn:: <W> Thorn: They're coming. I can sense them.

Host David_Thorn says:
<General Trebor> TO: Despite what has happened between the Storm and Starfleet. We are all the same people. We all came from the same worlds. There were plenty innocents lost recently, Ensign ...

Host David_Thorn says:
@ ::Somewhat surprised look:: "Cherry" <W>: Are you worried?

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
Ens. Spanner: I want you to boost all the SIF and IDF fields as the storm hits.  Bring online the fusion reactors not allocated for ships functions and tie them into the SIF and IDF as well as the internal emergency force fields.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::grits his teeth slightly:: General: Mostly unnecessary and forced, but that isn't an appropriate discussion, I think. Sir.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Ensign Cherry the Second> @ ::Incredulous look:: <W> Thorn: I don't worry about insects. They won't make it through what I've set up for them ...

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
Ens. Spanner: From what the CO said and from what I can sense from the bridge crew, this ship is going to rock and roll worse than a rag doll.

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::taps the panel once again::

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::keeps an eye on tactical sensors even though they are nearly useless::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir I am going to bring online all fusion reactors not allocated for ships functions and tie them into the SIF and IDF fields as well as the internal emergency force fields.

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: I hope it helps cause I sense that this storm will shake rattle and roll this ship like a rag doll.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Bishara* Understood.

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> ::Grits teeth and looks at the approaching storm on screen::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::visually scans the hangar again::

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The lights onboard begin to flicker. The ship slowly begins to shake.

CTO_Ens_Cherry says:
::hangs on tight to her console::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::goes back to monitoring her control boards::

OPS_EnsMorgan says:
::looks up::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Raythan: at least there are no Borg this time.

CSO_Lt_Kraight says:
:: grips the edge of his station panel, holds on ::

EO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
Self: Here we go.  ::grabs the bulkhead next to her and hangs on::

CMO_Munro says:
::Watches as the mans heartbeat begins to slowly fade::

Host David_Thorn says:
<Mathar Raythan> CO: Thank god for that.

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: The storm hits ... in more ways than one. The ship shakes violently as it delves into the ionic discharges, energy bursting here and there ...

Host David_Thorn says:
ACTION: In the cargo deck, the TO stumbles, as does everyone else. Trebor takes this moment of chaos to drives a hypospray in the TO's neck, effectively knocking him unconscious. Trebor whispers, "I apologize. But my people aren't going to be safe on this death trap ... "
