Previously …

After the entire situation in Pahrump, the crew departed with new supplies and a new Guide – a mysterious Bear with the quite familiar golden runes carved into its hide. It didn’t seem to mind the carvings, as long as it got the Crew to their destination. 

For a good few days, the crew traversed the desert of Nevada … eventually coming upon a grand alien forest that had somehow sprouted out of the red dirt and clay of their prior region. Entering the forest, they found they had exited one world and entered another as the cloud cover of Nevada faded away to reveal blue skies, cirrus clouds … and two suns. 

Moving through the forest, the crew struggled with either letting the Earth horses they had brought with them go, or continuing on with the added assistance. In the process of this debate, two of the horses managed to get away. They finally decided to keep the rest, and came upon a pleasant spring (and accompanying waterfall) that the Bear had stopped, and now slept at.

The spring had several mysterious qualities to it – the most prominent being it’s ability to taste like the favorite drink of any person who tasted it, and a large amount of glowing fluttering entities who had healing properties to them. While the crew hung around the spring, Captain Sulek & Admiral Sheridan stumbled upon a great stone city and castle in the clearing beyond the forest … 

… The city Solomon.

Dramatis Personae 

Mitch Travis is Captain Sulek – Commanding Officer of the Quirinus, the Vulcan / Deltan Sulek has been a member of the ship since its launch. Rising through the ranks onboard, he has come to find that his destiny is intertwined with that of his vessel’s, passing up offers of promotion time and again. Seemingly always logical and reserved, Sulek does indeed care for all of his crew.

Keith LaHue is Commander Ben Pangborn – Executive Officer of the Quirinus, the Human Pangborn has been through a lot in the last year or so. He recently came to discover that the Trickster, the being he destroyed to save his crew and the Universe has now been bonded to his mind. Ensnared there in some sort of horrific purgatory (for the Trickster, not Pangborn). However, the Trickster has found ways out of his “mental jail cell,” and is desperate for a release …

Jeffrey Brown is Lieutenant Commander Kraight – Chief Science Officer and Second Officer of the Quirinus, the Benzite Kraight may appear to less of a threat than expected, but his intelligence, cleverness, and wit have proven himself time and again to the Quirinus crew … and the foes they face.

Linda Davis is Lieutenant Teim Ris’Mor – Counselor of the Quirinus, the Caitian known as Teim has come to find herself in a conflict of identity upon starting this Journey. She seems torn between what she views as “humanity” and her feral Caitian self. Thanks to the Verun, she is more conflicted than ever. Yet, mysterious beings from her past (or future?) might hold the solution to her problems; that is, if the Journey before her does not. 

Cathy Campos is Lieutenant JG. Jade Morgan – Operations Manager of the Quirinus, the quiet Minaran has come to be a valued member of the Quirinus crew, having proven this with all the responses of the crew when she was feared to be dying. Now, Morgan has been blessed (or cursed?) with an amazing new gift: to see the auras of people, and as well as their pasts, presents, or futures.

Jane Rowley is Lieutenant JG. Cherry – Chief Tactical Officer of the Quirinus, the human / Betazoid hybrid has come off as a distracted (mostly by clothing), opinionated, and flirtatious character whom not many may take seriously. That is their mistake. Cherry is a determined Starfleet Officer whose friendship with OPS Morgan is one of the many dedications she has onboard the Quirinus.

Edward Selgas is Lieutenant JG. David Telarus – Chief Engineering Officer of the Quirinus, the human Telarus has revealed himself to be a clever and creative force onboard the ship. Often giving ideas and plans to help the crew through their endeavors, Telarus is a fountain of ideas. Which should hopefully make his relationship with the ship’s CMO, Ms. Munro, an interesting one.

Fiona Sorel is Ensign Harriet Munro – Chief Medical Officer of the Quirinus, the Kriosian / Human is a delicate, soft-spoken woman who has proven herself capable of looking out for the crew. She is currently married to the ship’s CEO, Lt. Jg. Telarus.

Erryn Pollock is Ensign Lance Wolverton – Tactical Officer of the Quirinus, the human Wolvington is the newest addition to the ship’s crew, and has proven himself quite capable in battle. The atypical paranoid security officer, Wolvington still has a lot to learn … and may be on that journey of knowledge soon.

Pam Bruyere is Admiral Serena Sheridan – Former Counselor of the Quirinus, Admiral Sheridan is a long time friend of Sulek, and holds a psychic bond with him. There has always been a bit of romantic tension between the two … but nothing has ever come of it. Will this always hold true?

Ensign Albert Rio – Security Officer Rio seems to be struggling with his sense of identity: is he a fiancee to the woman he loves, is he a Starfleet officer with aspirations for greatness, or is he simply a man more confused than anyone else? Selected along with three other junior officers, this Adventure the crew are going upon may help him find a sense of identity.

Lieutenant JG. Erin Eisenhower – The Engineering Officer is a girl who may have just started to have the best day of her life, and is now having the worst day of her life. Looking forward to a date with a charming man from Astrometrics, she has now found herself torn away from her normal life to go on some “away mission” with the senior crew. Despite this perhaps being the chance for her to excel, she does not care. She didn’t join Starfleet for adventures on far away worlds; she joined to repair stuff.

Chief Petty Officer Beldaur – Yet another member of the Security force present on this expedition to regions unknown. The jolly Beldaur seems out of place amongst his peers. While not seemingly excelling in the matters of assault and fighting, he has a sharp mind when it comes to strategy. 

Ensign Y’Et – He’s furry.

Neet – The adorable Monkey / Cat creature known as Neet introduces himself by scurrying amongst the Quirinus crew, until finally meeting a kindred spirit … Counselor Ris’Mor. For some reason, they are both able to understand each other. Whether this is some peculiar animal connection or something else is a mystery for another day … if a friendship will develop out of this odd pairing is what is wondered now.

Leggo & Blockhead – Two Jebenezziarian children who are the first to greet the Quirinus Crew as they enter the great city of Solomon. 

J’Hoffran – The Alpha Minister of the Local Solomon Temple of the Triumphant (LOST). J’Hoffran, an elder Jebenezziarian, believes the Quirinus Crew to be the Triumphant – a series of Jebenezziarian Gods who are believed to one day come to their world and punish the wicked. Due to the beliefs of the Jebenezziarian people at large, it is feared that Solomon is the main target for wicked folk.

CO: Have you found something, Sir?

VADM_Sheridan says:

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: Hmmm...no. Guess again.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::stands near at the center of the camp:: All: Just beyond the camp is a great meadow and on its far edge there is what appears to be a castle and city.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::thinks the captain is being unusually quiet::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Were you able to detect any sign of inhabitants?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::raises a brow at Cherry::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::glances over at Poker and Neet.. then looks back at Kraight::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
Self:  A castle?  How weird is that?

Neet says:  
::Squeaks as Poker pulls him up::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CEO: This is hard. ::Giggles:: hmmm... Are you Telarus?

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: We were not close enough to.  However, I believe that it is worth a look.

Neet says: 
::Only the CNS can understand:: Let me go! Let me be! Agggh, I'll tear you to ribbons you brute!!!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I'm game if you are

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::wonders if ol' Bucky would like the meadow::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::hears the little guy squealing::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: We need to be careful.  We do not know what the inhabitants look like and how they would react to our variety of appearances.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CNS: You might want to see what's going on with your little friend, Ris'Mor.

Poker the Horse says: 
 ::picks the fur-ball up by his tail and tosses him in the waterfall. and then snorts and whinnies.. Then goes back to eating::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::notices her hands smell a bit musky from her horse, but it’s not too bad once you get used to it::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Have you been able to discern anything about the creatures near the falls?

Neet says:  
::Is soaked::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I hear you. I've given up on predicting anything about these worlds. I just wake up everyday and put myself back together, like everyone.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::walks to the edge of the clearing and gazes at the castle.::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::covers her head as she watches Neet hit the water and the horse gets lippy about it::

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: Maybe

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
::Comes up beside the TO:: TO: It's a beautiful spring, isn't it?

Ensign Rio says:  
ALL: Well, I say we go ahead and see what sort of chaos we can cook up here. ::Dripping with sarcasm::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::tilts her head as she looks not at its stones but at the fact that the castle and the city have an aura.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO: I believe they are harnessing energy in a unique fashion, but without instruments, I can say little more for certain. Their healing powers are certainly impressive. I have been unable to determine if they are intelligent.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::frowns::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CEO: Just maybe huh... ::Turns around fully smiling::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks back at the CO and XO::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: C'mon. Lets have at it if were going

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::gives her a kiss as she turns around:: CMO: All better now.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::looks at her:: EO: Yes, it is. ::is surprised to hear himself say so...and that he's not even looking at it as he does::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::moves over to the Captain and tries to get his attention:: CO: Sulek, I did sense something from the city. It seems to be of great importance to the population if that's any help.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CO/XO: Excuse me, Sirs....but something isn't right about the castle...or it's city.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
All: If we are here for a purpose, then it will be necessary for us to go.  :nods at Kraight::  So far we have seen only good in the forest.  Let's get moving.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::looks at Jade::

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
TO: Think we're in for some medieval high jinks?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::follows::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry/Wolverton: You have Point

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
EO: Naturally.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::begins to head down the path::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Sir? Shall we take the horses with us?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::huffs at the prospect of causing more disruption to another alien world..::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::sighs as the captain seemingly ignores her::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CTO: Cherry, we have a problem.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::wonders why Sulek ignored her::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: I think perhaps we should stake them out.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: What do you mean?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
OPS:  Don't we always?  What is it this time?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CTO: The castle...it has an aura.....buildings don't have auras.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO: All right. I'll stay here and do that, and catch up with you shortly.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Turning:: Morgan: Has anything on this journey been normal.  Our mission is to explore and learn.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
OPS:  The castle is alive?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CTO: And it's aura.....its not normal.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::drags Neet out of the water and sets him on the saddle that’s still on Poker.. the horse snorts at the wet fur-ball and eats again::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
OPS: Elaborate

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
OPS:  What's it feel like?

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Looks at Sheridan:: Sheridan: Serena, then perhaps it is what we need to find out.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::walking along, not nearly as paranoid as he should be::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::glares at the XO and CO:: All: Its...a normal rainbow.....and then it grows darker...becomes black.......

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
TO: I'm sort of nervous ... what I wouldn't give to be back in a sonic shower right about now ...

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
All: The black....its death....the same as when the Tricky Trio died.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CEO: So how you do'n?

Neet says:  
CNS: Kill the horse. ::Growls through his wet fur::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: moves to gather the horses and bring them to a copse of trees ::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::shudders then moves to point as ordered after giving Bucky a farewell pat::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::follows the others at the back of the line.. Neet making a fuss about being wet.. and being loud about it::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
EO: Why nervous? The place seems calm in the extreme.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: Then perhaps the land is in need.  We will not discover the source however by staying safe at the pool.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Okay. I give up. Lets do it anyways, and go a head and enter the haunted city with the black aura. Talk about foreboding. But I'm up for it: ::follows along::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::shrugs her shoulders and follows along:: CO: Sulek, is there a reason why you do not ask for my counsel? You seem to avoid contact with me lately. Have I offended you in some way?

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says: 
 TO: Well, I'm always nervous about new places. I'm not exactly Ms. Away Team. 

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks at the Admiral helplessly::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::begins moving down the path::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
Neet: calm down.. it's only water.. besides you shouldn't pick fights with animals bigger than you..

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: Hope you weren't worried about me?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
EO: You seem to have handled yourself well so far. Why did you volunteer?

Neet says:  
CNS: He started it! C'mon, you're my buddy. Kill it. It's a walking lunch!

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::contemplates the possibility they are walking towards death::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::knows that they are going down the wrong path and doesn't understand what is wrong with the captain.::

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: Because I am feeling a whole lot better as soon as I saw you.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::gathers up her stuff as ordered::

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CMO: What a honeymoon huh...

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
TO: I didn't. I was ordered.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: Of course not.  At our last location, you were otherwise occupied.  I did not realize that I had ignored your counsel.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::eyes the wet ball of brown fluff:: Neet: I might point out you are too.. just cool your warp engines....

Ens. Rio says:  
::Walks past the CEO:: CEO: Oh, please, would you love birds calm down a bit? ::Humphs and moves on::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
CEO: Definitely different.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::wishes not for the first time and probably not the last that she had a phaser::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: finishes tying up the horses... stuffs his moccasins into his shirt, and takes to the trees to catch up with the others ::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: Serena, for my ignorance, I am truly sorry.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks very depressed::

Neet says:  
::Has nothing to say to that::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::moves along side Cherry:: CTO: Why am I so concerned about what Jade said? This place worries me.

CPO Beldaur says:  
OPS: Are you all right Lieutenant?

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::pauses a moment:: Ensign Rio: Ensign front and center now!

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: Apparently you have not noticed much lately. You too have seemed pre-occupied.

Ens. Rio says: 
 ::Turns:: CEO: Yes?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
EO: Ordered? By Telarus?

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
TO: Essentially, yes. 

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::turns to glare at the CEO, then continues walking::

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
Ensign Rio: Yes...Yes...That is Yes Sir

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::frowns and looks thoughtful for a moment as they walk::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::shrugs:: CPO: I'm okay. Just...uneasy.

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
Ensign Rio: What I do with my wife is none of your concern am I clear?

VADM_Sheridan says:
::reaches down and picks up a small stone to examine it::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
CEO:  Why don't you bully someone from your own department?  ::continues walking::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: I was and am dealing with a unique problem for me.  If I do something unorthodox, Admiral, you have my permission to knock some sense into me.  ::raises an eyebrow as the edges of his mouth quirks slightly up::

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: He was interfering in a personal matter.

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: What can I do for you?

Ensign Rio says:  
::Stares at the CEO for a moment:: CEO: Well, sir, if you plan to order me around as if we were on duty, then I suggest you do not fraternize with your wife while you're on duty.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
CEO:  Leave him alone.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::smiles and looks down for a moment:: CO: Noted old friend.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
Rio:  And you just shut up.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::again, speaks almost unconsciously:: EO: Well, I'm glad you came, regardless.

ACTION: The Crew exit the forest and into the clearing, moving along a dirt path toward the massive stone city.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::is feeling quite grumpy again::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: This blackness you speak of is located near the center of the town or does it radiate outward?

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CTO: Cherry what did I do to you?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks around in surprise::

Ensign Rio says: 
 ::Abruptly shuts up and moves along::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::doesn't even dignify that with an answer::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: drops from the trees a few yards in front of Sulek :: CO: The horses have been staked out as ordered, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::stands off, looking at Cherry’s still:: Sulek: Tell me what your gut says. Pardon the human metaphor

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Good.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks at the captain with a considering expression::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::wonders what Harriet could possibly have been thinking::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CO: It’s hard to place exactly, Sir. It’s not like a photograph. It seems to be towards the back of the city, but I can't be certain.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::stops for a moment while looking at the stone::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Only that it is medieval in appearance.  Little more.  It is I believe though the next leg in our journey, but I do not know why.

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
::Hears what the TO says and smiles, tries to hide it:: TO: Yeah, I guess ... y'know, after a while, this adventure is really growing on me. ::Laughs for a sec:: Did I just call it an adventure?

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: falls into step behind Sulek and Sheridan ::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::thinks they have enough problems without the crew fighting::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::stands at the back watching the crew interactions with interest.. a mild insanity seems to be letting lose among them.. ::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: I trust you will help us stay clear of it for the time being.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I have a sense of. I’m not sure what to call it. I'm not sure I'm going to like this place

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::laughs himself:: EO: Yes, you did. Maybe you ARE Ms. Away Team after all.

VADM_Sheridan says:
CSO: Commander, take a look at this stone. ::hands it to him::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::shrugs slightly:: CO: One can only hope, Sir.

Ens. Rio says: 
 ::Walks up beside Beldaur & Y'Et, grumbling:: Mr. Engineer thinks he's able to do whatever ... 

CPO Beldaur says: 
 ::Turns to Rio:: Well, perhaps you shouldn't make comments, Mr. Rio. 

Ens. Rio says: 
 Beldaur: Oh stuff  it -- ::Y'Et makes an annoyed furry noise at Rio and he quiets::

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says: 
 ::Laughs again::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Each journey has given us new insight.  Not all knowledge is pleasant.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
VADM: All right. :: takes stone, examines it ::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::thinks this is not going too well::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::frowns, hearing the petty infighting::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
:: Makes her way over to the 'kids' and interjects::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::wonders how long it will take to get there.  Hopes a long, long time::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: In the mean time, what the hell is going on with the crew?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::continues to plod along after the others::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
VADM: What about this attracted your attention?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
Rio/Y`Et/Beldaur: this really isn't the time or the place for arguments.. if you haven't noticed.. there are personality changes occurring in the key command staff.. it would be wise to try not to aggravate any situation until we know precisely what’s occurring.. And what the out come will be..

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::doesn't point out that the closer they get to the castle that the worse the tension gets amongst the crew members.::

VADM_Sheridan says:
CSO: By the way, I did pick up some interesting feelings from the city earlier. I believe that I got a name when I sensed something.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: They are uneasy.  Each new situation has added to their stress.  I believe it is a release. Nevertheless...

ACTION: The crew gets closer and closer to the city. A small opening and a path of stairs can be seen. Apparently it is some sort of side entrance.

CPO Beldaur says:  
CNS: Yes, ma'am.

VADM_Sheridan says:
CSO: Oh ignore the stone, it's just a stone.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
CO:  It appears to be an entrance, Captain.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::notices the bickering, but is a little....distracted::

Ens. Rio says: 
 ::Grumbles a "Yes, ma'am"::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::motions for a halt:: All: Form up.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::enjoys stating the obvious::

Ens. Y'Et says:  
::Makes a furry noise::

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
TO: Y'know, I don't think I've ever heard you laugh before.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::wonders if the TO will ever notice the EO::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::sneezes::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
VADM: Ah. I see.   :: not certain he really does ::   A name, Admiral?

CPO Beldaur says:  
CTO: Gezundheit Lieutenant.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::huffs and folds her arms.. she can still hear Neet squeaking about BBQ horse meat in the back ground::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::allows his well-trained body to form up before he's even conscious of it:: EO: You have, but you were pretty mad at the time. ::smiles::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks at Cherry:: CTO: Coming down with something?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Looks like we are here ::sense of impending doom::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::moves closer to Kraight:: CSO: Does Jebenezziar mean anything to you?

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
::Thinks about it:: TO: Ohhh yeah. ::Playfully punches him in the arm::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
OPS:  Must be those darn flowers we walked by.  I'm overdue for my allergy shots.

ACTION: The staircase looms upward. They can hear the sound of a crowd beyond.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::reels in mock injury, laughing lightly::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::waits patiently for the crew to take a more formal position:: All: I repeat, form up.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::nods:: CTO: I thought I smelled something a bit musty.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::stands straight, instantly, focused again::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::stands to the captain’s right::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
CO:  Captain.  I recommend myself and Wolverton go up and check it out first.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::steps up behind the Captain and next to Kraight::

ACTION: Lt. Jg. Eisenhower, Ens. Rio, CPO Beldaur & Ens. Y'Et do so

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::follows the captain's orders::

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
::follows along with everyone else to form up::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
VADM: Jebenezziar... I believe that it is a planet... somewhere in the Ha'kala sector, if memory serves.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::stays to the back with the other animals and keeps an eye on the security officers.. and Neet.. who got a lick from the horse and is pouting now::

ACTION: The city walls appear to be blocks of stone, covered in dirt and grime. But if the crew were to look upward they would see they are multi-colored.

VADM_Sheridan says:
CSO: Then that is where we are and this is the city called Solomon.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
All: Both the XO and I have noted of late some less than Starfleet protocol.  While this may at times seem like a vacation, I assure that it is not.  It is time that we call upon our training and discipline to regain our composure.  Am I clear on this?

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Sir we should use hand signals, just incase there is anyone around. We want to have the element of surprise on our side just incase they are not friendly.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
::Stares at the walls curiously::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::sniffs around and eyes the multi-colored blocks.. Trying to get an idea of what materials they are made of::

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::thinks the CO is a fine one to be talking, but nods agreeably::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::raises an brow slightly but refrains from commenting::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
CO: Sir, yes sir!

The Four Subordinates says:  
CO: Aye, sir!

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::gives Wolverton a sour look::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::looks over at Wolverton::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: Move out to scout.  You will signal by hand if it is safe.  With Morgan's new insight, I do not wish to blindly stumble into a situation.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: eyes widen :: VADM: Then we are in the past. Jebenezziar was destroyed over two centuries ago, by the automated space faring weapon known as the Doomsday Machine.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::walks behind the group as the CO speaks.. And tries to act Vulcan.. but she can hear the emotion cracking out in his voice.. He’s angry.. Which could be bad for them all. Moves closer tot he wall and sniffs..::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: Take one other with you.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::thinks "Butt Smooched"::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
TO:  Oh Lance....  Come with me.  ::heads up the staircase::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
VADM: I must inform the Captain immediately.   :: turns to Sulek ::   CO: Sir!

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: report.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::moves up and touches the Captain's arm:: CO: Sulek, I can sense several emotions coming from the city, pain and acceptance...::pauses for a moment:: and contentment.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::waits patiently for them to get the all clear::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::huffs and scratches at the stone a bit to clean off some moss.. :: self: funny.. it doesn't smell like stone..

Lt. Jg. Eisenhower says:  
::Admires the TO walking up the staircase, then catches herself doing so and stops::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
CTO: Aye, sir. ::follows, mentally entrenched into duty mode::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: Any sense as to what might cause this?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::disturbed at overhearing the admiral, but says nothing::

ACTION: As the CTO / TO head up the staircase, the sound of crowds grow larger. They see an opening not too far away. Figures move past it.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::makes her way up the staircase cautiously::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO; the Admiral tells me that she... sensed... a name from the city -- Jebenezziar. She believes it is the name of the planet we are now on. That planet was destroyed centuries ago by the Doomsday Machine, which was encountered by James T. Kirk and itself destroyed.

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: I can't put my finger on it, but there is something.....

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::tries to stick to the shadows as they advance, moving from cover to cover, avoiding being spotted::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO: We are therefore in the past of our own galaxy. We must again be careful not to disturb the timeline.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::approaches the top and ducks low so as not to be seen::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Most interesting.  We must indeed be careful.  If we are present at the construction or inception of this weapon, then we must let it continue.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
XO/CO: this.. stuff.. it's not stone..

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CNS: What is it?

ACTION: Glancing out the opening they see a grand marketplace, and the people who inhabit this city. They're all somewhat short, at an average of 5'5". They're essentially block-like in appearance, with their major limbs, torso, and head, etc. all being in the shape of a block. They come in a variety of colors, and wear webbed clothing with accompanying belts. 

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: This city....it's very revered and feared among the people here.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::pokes a stone with an idle finger::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
XO: I don't know.. smells.. alive.. breathing.. organic... hmmmph.. not food...

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Jebenezziar was in the Ha'Kala sector. If I recall the logs correctly, Commander Spock said at the time that the device likely came from beyond our own galaxy.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CNS: Living buildings?

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: A holy place?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::looks at the natives curiously::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::whispers::  TO:  No way we're going to blend in with this crowd.

ACTION: The marketplace sprawls outward. Various tenements and housing can be seen, moving up a large hill where more housing is see until another large wall is glimpsed, and beyond that, the grand castle.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::whispers back:: CTO: Agreed.

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: In some respects, yes. There is something else, but I can't make any sense of it yet.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Still, we cannot interfere with what has or more to the point, happened at this place.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
XO: if it's alive.. It might have ears.. And eyes.. ::steps back to observe the wall closer.. Look for movement or color changes::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::doesn't say a word::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Understood.

ACTION: The wall remains a wall.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: Keep after it.  Kraight: Be sure to inform the others.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::whispers::  TO:  Do you see any way to the Castle, other than through this market?  ::looks around::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::looks around:: CTO: There's always another way.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Yes, sir.  :: moves off to warn his crewmates ::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::whispers::  TO:  It would be nice to have something specific to give the Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CNS: Be nice to have a tricorder

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::growls and goes back to neet and Poker:: XO: yeeessss.. it would.. hmmmph...

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::looks for another approach to check things out::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::,moves to the bottom of the stairs and looks up at the CTO::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::wonders if anyone would get annoyed if she sat down while they were waiting::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::looks around the marketplace trying to get a "feel" for the people::

ACTION: A two headed reptilian chicken of some sort hisses and hops past the CTO / TO down the stairwell. Two block children giggle and run over, barreling into the CTO / TO.

Blockhead says:  
::Falls back:: Oof! 

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::squeezes against the wall and hopes the brats don't sound an alarm::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::startled, waves politely and hopes they don't scream their heads off::

ACTION: The TO feels as if he were just hit by a brick wall.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::watches as the creature cackles and hisses out of the door way the CTO and TO went into::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
:: Looks at Ris` Mor and reminded of his childhood cat, represses a smile:: CNS: Go ahead. Sniff it some more.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches as the creature rushes past at the stop of the stairs::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::doesn't wave after all, but staggers back with a heavy huff of breath, barely managing to keep his footing::

Leggo says: 
 Blockhead: Look at you. You fell down. Ha ha! ::Stops and stares at the TO:: 

Blockhead says: 
 ::Looks up at the TO::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
Leggo: Um....hello.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::looks at the exchange with alarm::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::breathing a little hard::

Leggo says:  
TO: What are you?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::turns and looks as she hears the commotion::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks over at Pangborn:: Pangborn: So much for a graceful entrance.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::sees the creature rush by:: CO: Now that was interesting.

ACTION: The two-head reptilian chicken manages to get down the stairs and rushes past the crew.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::can't believe they're not screaming, and tries to take advantage of it:: Leggo: I'm a...umm....tactical officer.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::decides there isn't much left to lose and gestures for the others to come up::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::jumps out of Chicken Little's way::

Ensign Rio says: 
 ::Looks at the chicken rush past::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: stops beside Wolverton, whom he was about to warn about being in the past ::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: To say the least.  A pet?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Well grace was never my strong suit anyways. Think we should head in?

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: Perhaps.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CO: dinner maybe...

Blockhead says: 
Leggo: They look weird. Like freaks.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I would say that our best diplomats are not at the top of the stairs.

Leggo says:  
Blockhead: You think them D'gari?

Leggo says:  
Blockhead: D'gari have wings silly.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::wonders if kidnapping the children is a viable option::

Blockhead says:  
Leggo: No they don't. They have three heads.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Agreed. Let's go ::motions to the crew::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: I think perhaps Admiral, this is more in your line.

Leggo says:  
Blockhead: They have only one!

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: squats to put his face on the same level as the child's :: Leggo: We are explorers, travelers. What is your name?

Blockhead says:  
Leggo: But they are not like us. They are soft. Plush like.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::follows the captain as ordered::

Leggo says: 
 CSO: I am Leggo. What are you exploring?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::eagerly allows the CSO to take over the conversation::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::starts heading up allowing the Admiral the lead::

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: I don't think anything here is what it appears to be.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
Leggo: At the moment, I would say we are just starting to explore your city. What is the name of this place?

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::looks around and then huffs.. climbs up the wall to have a look around.. tail flipping wildly as she goes::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: I would concur.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::looks at Wolverton and grins:: TO:  Freaks once again.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::follows::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::sees the little cube cuties and stops abruptly::

Leggo says:  
CSO: Solomon. The grandest city in all the land.

Blockhead says:  
::Tugs on Leggo's webbing:: Leggo: I think we should go.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
CTO: It would seem that we are.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: nods in agreement :: Leggo: I see. My name, by the way, is Kraight.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::instinctly watches them move, looking for anatomical weaknesses::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::perches on the top of the wall and looks around::\

ACTION: Some older block people see the two children, and see who they are talking to. A commotion begins to start up. A woman blockhead gasps and tries to get all her merchandise into a cart and away.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::eyes the small ones carefully, trying to see their auras::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::makes her way up the stairs:: CO: This place reminds me of something I saw once, back in the history museum on Earth.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::climbs the stairs and enters::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: How so?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::sees the panic below and wishes they could have found another way to make their entrance::

ACTION: The commotion gets worse at the sight of the Counselor on the wall. People start to shout and move away. 

CEO_LtJG_Telarus says:
Self: Oh great

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::sighs::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::shakes her head::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::sighs:: CNS: Scaring the natives again, Ris'Mor.

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: It had something to do with children...toys, I believe.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::notices the natives have normal auras::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::hears the commotion of the crowd:: Sheridan: I think we should perhaps stay put.  If true to form, the powers that be will eventually send someone.  I only hope they are not violent.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: looks upward :: CNS: Counselor... perhaps you should join us down here. The inhabitants seem to be alarmed.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::frowns when she sees that the walls have auras as well::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::watches the panic below and huffs.. glances back down at the others.. before going back to the ground::

ACTION: The crowd is freaking out as it is. Leggo & Blockhead are the only block people who don't go running away.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::nods:: CO: Agreed.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Self: Damn it. CNS: Jump down here and try and blend in or something, make them realize that giant cats are not always a threat. ::semi-annoyed::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks closer and reaches out a tentative hand::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
All: Take no provocative action.  We'll wait.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::runs a cautious hand along the wall::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I don't think they were expecting visitors

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: returns his attention to the children :: Leggo: The grownups seem afraid of us, but you are not. You must both be very brave.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::nods, glad to delay any combat with this particular species::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: That much is certain.. at least not us.

ACTION: Armed guards who carry what appears to be massive projectile weaponry attached to their massive blocky shoulders run onto the scene. They don't approach the group though, they merely push the crowd back and make a defensive stance, as if expecting the new arrivals to assault the crowd.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::realizes that the walls were blending in with the rest of the city initially::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
XO: they were not looking at me at first.. they were frightened at the sight of the humans.. ::mumbles:: can you blame them?

Leggo says:  
CSO: My patra says I'm too dumb to be afraid.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::nudges Lance and points at the guards::  TO:  Now what?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
All: I guess that's the welcome wagon. ::sighs again::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Sorry, but I'm leaving it to the pointy - eared guy to say "We come in peace"

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
CTO: Now we hope this doesn't turn violent.

ACTION: The Guards finally create their own wall, protecting the civilian population from the new arrivals.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Admiral: You're on.  How about something like 'we come in peace or take us to your leader.'

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
TO: Cause if it does, we're outgunned.  ::smiles winningly at the guards::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::raises an eyebrow at Pangborn::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
Leggo: You don't strike me as dumb. :: notices the arrival of the guards, points :: Who are those?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::eyes the "human" wall::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::waves::  Guards: Hi there!

ACTION: Someone pushes through the Guards ... it is a purple colored block man who wears a crown of some sort and an orange billowy cape.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::looks at the purple guy curiously::

 J`Hoffran says:
ALL: Greetings.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
CTO: We'd be outgunned if they were unarmed. ::rubs his hip, still sore from the earlier impact::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::notices the color scheme with a wince::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::nods to Sulek:: CO: As you wish. ::steps forward towards the guards::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: Did I not just mention appropriate protocol?

ACTION: The Guards defer to the new block arrival.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::smiles at the new guy hopefully::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::avoids arguing with the CO on the matter of protocol, but just barely::

 J`Hoffran says:
::Looks at the tall slender figure approaching him:: Admiral: Are you the Triumphant?

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: steps back as the Admiral comes forward ::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::goes to sit next to a bush.. like a big cat and watches Neet join her close by.. trying to dry off::

VADM_Sheridan says:
J'Hoffran: Greetings. We are strangers in your fair city.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::falls in behind the Admiral::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::relying on her to get an accurate read of the situation::

 J`Hoffran says:
Sheridan: So we noticed. Are you the Triumphant?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::wonders just what a triumphant is::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::stands back and watches the exchange::

VADM_Sheridan says:
J`Hoffran: You know of the Triumphant? ::tries not to look totally like an idiot::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::thinks the Admiral is doing quite well for someone who hasn't got a clue.::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::cautiously moves to Kraight:: Kraight: Any indication of what a Triumphant might be?

 J`Hoffran says:
Sheridan: Well, of course we know. 

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::feels another sneeze coming on but tries to suppress it::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: shakes head :: CO: None whatsoever, Sir.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Then that makes us even in knowledge on the subject.

 J`Hoffran says:
Sheridan: So ... are you the Triumphant?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::looks at the Admiral::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::tries to sense what he is thinking:: J`Hoffran: You were expecting us then? ::turns to look at the Captain::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::makes a mental note never to play poker with Sheridan::

 J`Hoffran says:
::Shudders for a moment:: Sheridan: Yes. We were. We are not stupid infidels, my lord. Not at all. Please. Please follow me! ::Gestures for the Guards to escort them to the Castle::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::thinks they just stepped in it::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Morgan: What do you see?

VADM_Sheridan says:
:;motions to Sulek and the others:: J`Hoffran: You are most kind. :;starts to walk::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
::stays by the bush and huffs as she listens to the exchange at the top of the stairs::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves along with the group::

Neet says:  
::Sitting out there with the Counselor, outside of the city:: CNS: So ... want to go back and eat a horse?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
VADM: Lead on, Triumphant ::doesn't even try to hide his smile::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::moving along, uncomfortably::

CPO Beldaur says: 
XO: Sir, what about the Counselor? ::Gestures to the stair case::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::concentrates on some of the block heads....tries to "see" them better.::

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
Neet: furry-face.. if you want to try and eat him go ahead.. but I warn you. he bites back..

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks back at the counselor:: Ris'Mor:  You are coming.  ::a statement of fact rather than a question::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::decides to bring up the rear this time, so waits for the others to move out::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::ignores the captain for a bit as she concentrates even harder::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CPO: Go out and get her...

VADM_Sheridan says:
::falls back a little to walk with Pangborn:: XO: Careful Commander. I don't like a smart alec first officer.

CPO Beldaur says: 
::Heads down the stairs:: CNS: Counselor, the Commander wishes for you to join us.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
VADM: Please tell them about "the chose one who advises" Our inimitable counselor?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::sees......lines of young block people, proudly walking in line.....

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
:;waits for the Counselor...yet again::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::sees.....a massive, three headed creature.......::

VADM_Sheridan says:
XO: In time Commander, in time.

CNS_Lt_Ris`Mor says:
CPO: I'm not sure that’s wise all things considered.. but very well.. ::follows the blue guy to the others.. With Neet still wet and annoyed in tow::

Neet says: 
 ::Hoping to eventually dry off::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::Sees a meeting of feared rulers.....::

 J`Hoffran says:
::Leads them through parting crowds up, up a stone path through the village, and up the hill ... toward the Castle::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CO: There...is....a creature, Sir. I can't quite make him out.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::is getting frustrated::
