Previously …

After finally giving up on trying to figure out what is wrong with Commander Pangborn, the Crew turned their attention to the growing situation at hand. The Aquati were yet another species in desperate need of assistance. This time, however, they were a persecuted group who was not in danger of being harmed by the other inhabitants of their world … but by non-existence.

Something called the Abyss is slowly taking over the Great Lake; the massive body of water centered within the continent that the Aquati reside on. The crew begin to pull together to try and solve the mysterious Abyss, while at the same time trying to keep themselves from collapsing emotionally as the threat of losing Commander Pangborn (after so quickly “losing” Ensign Y’Et & Counselor Ris’Mor) looms.

As for the dear Commander, he continues his Journey down memory lane with the Trickster whose original believed reasoning for doing this seems to be something completely different …

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.

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 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.

Ben Barbato is Ensign Benjamin Grainger – Formerly the Flight Control Officer of the Norway Class U.S.S. Warsaw, Grainger was just recently “acquired” by the Gateway as a replacement for Ensign Y’Et who may or may not be deceased. The human male has been thrust into the midst of this Journey, and may take a while before he is able to get his footing.

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?

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.

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.

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. 

The Trickster – Also known as the Unnamed One, the Trickster was an intangible shape-shifting entity who was but a member of a group of demonic demi-God like beings who once ruled the known Universe. That is, until Commander Ben Pangborn killed it. However, the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, and the evil entity has now been bonded to Pangborn’s mind in a form of purgatory. Yet recently the Trickster has been finding ways to break out of his mental prison. It has been feared that soon it will find a way to take over Pangborn entirely: either purging his essence from the body, or ending his life. Either way, the crew lose their XO.

SSo`Da`maor – The Commanding Officer of the Aquati Vessel Nemoc. Maor rescued the Quirinus crew from the icy depths of the Great Lake. While he has been generous enough to allow the crew to remain on his vessel, Maor is only concerned with the survival of his people. He is willing to go to any length to protect them. Any.

Blake Harris is Sso’De – The Conn. Officer of the Nemoc.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: Any change?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:

Sso`De`Roar says:
CO: Need any help?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::leans back against the wall and once again eyes the beams of light::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::sitting against a wall, head between his knees::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::shakes her head, thinking she heard something::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Nemoc continues on its journey.

Sso`De` says:
Maor: I have a message, it's coming in from the Great City we are not allowed to dock sir.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::in the Nemoc's Engineering compartment::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::thinks she is no closer to figuring out what they are then she was a week ago::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Sso'De'Maor> ::Turns:: De: On what grounds?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: I am told that comatose patients are often aware of those around them.  I am sure the Commander feels our presence, especially yours.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
CO:  I'm not so sure, Captain.  Jade says even his aura has departed.

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: Meanwhile, Pangborn now finds himself in some sort of great hall. Hundreds of people sit in an audience, watching a group of children sing on stage.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks across the room at Cherry and listens quietly::

Sso`De` says:
Maor: The reason we can't dock is because of the visitors.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::straightens up and tries to listen harder::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::Stands tiredly::

Sso`De`Roar says:
CMO: Need any more help?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: It is the shield.  The XO is still there.  All we can do is as you have done, offer him your strength.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Almost as if her telepathy went into overdrive, the Admiral is suddenly overwhelmed by hundreds of voices.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::nods::  CO:  I'm doing my best, Sir.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
Sso’De’Roar: I might.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::stands up and walks over to the XO::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::sees the FCO walk over::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::grabs at her head and screams:: Aloud: Noooooo! Stop!

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::walks up to one of the Aquati Engineers:: AE: What type of propulsion system is this?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks over at the Admiral and sees one of the beams pass through her::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::jumps to her feet::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Sso'De'Maor> ::Grumbles at De, and glances in the CSO's general direction::

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The voices soon stop.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: I believe that this is so.  The Commander has always proved resourceful.  This too is something that you offer him.

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: Pangborn spots a younger self, along with his parents, his family, and Lauren, in the audience. All dressed up.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
Adm: Are you okay, Sir? ::runs to her side::

Sso`De`Roar says:
CMO: Name your request.

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: So where are we now? ::Steps up next to him::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::nods sadly at the CO::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
Sso`De: What is our distance from the Abyss?

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: No changes......

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: You tell me tricky. After all, you Are a god.

Host SM_Selan says:
<AE> CEO: Sub-Tyo water jets, why do you ask?

VADM_Sheridan says:
:;drops to her knees as the voices stop, her senses overwhelmed for a moment:: OPS: I'm not sure Jade. Something just happened that might be hard to explain.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Cherry: You can offer no more than you have.  ::turns to leave:: None of us can.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::rubs his eyes blearily::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  None I'm afraid.  How are things coming along elsewhere?

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ ::Stares at the audience without turning to him:: XO: Was a god. You killed me, remember.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::doesn't really care but is trying to be polite::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> ::Comes up on the TO:: TO: You look tired.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: Well, everyone's trying to keep busy....

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
Adm: One of the beams passed through you.

Sso`De`Roar says:
CMO: What other necessities can I fulfill?

Sso`De` says:
CSO: 30 klitois.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
AE: Well I have sort of the same idea I was curious to see how your propulsion drive works maybe give me some inspiration for improvement on my ship, I have what is called a wake drive it is powered by subspace distortions, are you familiar with subspace?

VADM_Sheridan says:
::stands slowly:: OPS: Voices, hundreds of voices filling my mind all at once. It was like the sound of  ocean waves breaking on the rocks. ::looks puzzled:: Beams? Are you sure?

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::reddens again a bit upon hearing Erin:: EO: Ummm...errr...I am...I mean I...well, you know....

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::nods at the FCO as he leaves::  Grainger: Good to see you Ensign. ::moves off and down the corridor.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::exasperated:: Trickster: You mean to tell me that a simple recital from my past is too difficult to grasp? Man you really are in trouble if you do ::sly smile:: Succeed.

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: Pangborn's sister takes center stage and begins to sing ... it's an angelic voice that the XO hasn't heard in a while. It is a pleasant sound in his ears. His family seems to agree as they cheer, causing some of the surrounding audience to glare at them.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::nods:: Adm: Positive. They come and go.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::nods:: CO: Likewise, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::feels touched by the memory of his sister::

VADM_Sheridan says:
OPS: It's possible that the voices and the beams are interrelated somehow.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> ::Smile on her face:: TO: I'll admit, I've have trouble sleeping myself ...

Sso`De`Roar says:
::goes up the CMO:: CMO: You alright?

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: I know I don't know him all that well, but from the minute I arrived he made me feel welcome. And I know he'll overcome whatever he's facing.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::nods thoughtfully::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Sso'De'Maor> ::Exits the bridge w/o out a word::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: stares, puzzled, at an energy readout :: Sso`De: Do you recognize this emission pattern?  :: points to screen ::

VADM_Sheridan says:
OPS: They were similar to the ones I heard when I touched the rune.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
AE: I have another question for you, I need to try to manufacture some of my peoples technology the journey that we are on right now would take us away from your people once the purpose of our place here is completed, although we don't know what that purpose is it sort of just happens, anyways I need to take some technology with us just incase.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::gulps slightly:: EO: I..umm...think I'll be having a little more trouble now.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
Adm: Are you sure?

Host SM_Selan says:
<AE> CEO: Er ... we would have to run that by our Commander.

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
SSo'De'Roar: Um... yeah... sorry, Just preoccupied ::Puts on a smile that feels like it's hurting to even attempt::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::smiles at the FCO::  FCO:  I hope you're right.  ::pauses for a moment::  How are you adjusting.  Winding up with us must have been a great shock.  At least the rest of us had a choice.

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: She's quite a singer.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sees Morgan and Sheridan and hesitates before approaching::

VADM_Sheridan says:
OPS: Positive. ::looks into Jade's eyes:: You don't think that..........::pauses::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::drifts off listening:: Trickster: Yes she is...

Sso`De` says:
CSO: Sorry I don’t recognize the emission pattern.

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: The area suddenly shifts around them to a little bit later ... a balcony outside of the concert hall, overlooking an old and beautiful city. It is a beautiful, chilly, starlit night ... young Pangborn and young Lauren exit onto the empty balcony.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::waits patiently for her to finish her thought::

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ ::As he and the other Pangborn arrive on the balcony, shivers:: XO: Not entirely getting used to that. And I was incorporeal, sheesh.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
AE: Understood and send my sincere gratitude in anything and anyway he could assist us in this venture.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: tries to isolate the anomalous energy readings ::

Sso`De`Roar says:
CMO: So what equipment do you need?

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: Well, you're right. I didn't have much of a choice. I just can't help feeling like nothing more than an extra pair of hands.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::notices that Sheridan seems somewhat shaken, but is also curious about the snatches of the conversation he heard as he arrived::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::chuckles::  FCO:  You're a pilot with no ship to fly and I'm a Tactical Officer with no weapons.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Another beam of light passes through the room OPS / Admiral are in. When the beam passes through the Admiral, she is overwhelmed by a chorus and familiar cries.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: You know. I'm beginning to understand how ill equipped you are to this. No matter what happens, you will be miserable. Or dead. Or both ::looks fondly at Lauren::

Host SM_Selan says:
<AE> CEO: Understood.

Sso`De`Roar says:
ALL: Anyone need anything?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::notices the beam and puts a comforting hand on Serena's shoulder::

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: Perhaps ... it wasn't entirely my choice to come here.

VADM_Sheridan says:
:;grabs her head again:: OPS: It's happening again! ::winces at the noise in her head::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::laughs:: CTO: Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: Do you know what death is?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves to Sheridan as she winces:: Sheridan: Serena, you are not well? ::concerned::

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: I've seen it happen. It's served my purpose ... I thought I experienced it.

VADM_Sheridan says:
Aloud: Stop this! Please!!! ::shakes her head back and forth::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::grabs at Sulek:: CO: Stop the voices!

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: The young "couple" begin to speak ... "Your sister is an amazing singer," Lauren begins, "Think you got the same talent?" Pangborn smiles and looks up at the moon and stars, "No, my talents lie elsewhere."

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::mood lifts a little over the shared joke::  FCO:  Usually I can at least find a pointy stick, but not out here.  ::grins::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns to the Nemoc's computer interface, taps out a question :: \\ QUERY: ISOLATE ENERGY EMISSIONS PATTERN FROM ABYSS. IDENTIFY ENERGY TYPE. \\

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::keeps taking a walk around their engine core and decides to move on and take a look at the bridge, the better he understands the ship the better he can help::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> ::Cozies up to the TO:: TO: Well, I can help with that ... ::Moves him down a hallway, her fear of being underwater somewhat passed::

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
AE: Keep me informed I am going to keep touring your vessel, I would like to learn as much as I can so I can help my own vessel out when we return to it.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: Stick around long enough and you'll find out ::remembers his orders to Cherry, and wants to see her again, alive and whole and himself, without the demon trickster that has plagued him for so long:: I grow weary of this tricky.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::draws Sheridan to him and holds her:: Sheridan: How? Tell me and I will gladly take this from you.

Sso`De`Roar says:
::looks at the admiral concerned::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::realizes he should protest and perform a series short security sweeps, but it's been very quiet, and he really doesn't mind going with her::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Nemoc Computer> \\QUERY RESPONSE: UNABLE TO CORRELATE ENERGY EMISSIONS PATTERN AND READINGS DESIGNATE "ABYSS." UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ENERGY TYPE \\

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::smiles back:: CTO: Well, it looks like we don't have to worry about weapons for now. I wonder if our hosts would be willing to donate some gear once we move on.

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: Hmmm. Well, it's your fault. So don't blame me.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The voices fade once again from the Admiral's head.

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: I don't know Sulek, just take them away.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::walks out of the Main Engineering section and makes his way to the Nemoc's bridge::

CMO_Ens_Munro says:
SSo’De’Roar: Something to get him out of his coma, do you have any Tripizine?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  We have a funny way of losing everything we acquire.  ::notices what the CO is up to::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster. Hey, you were the one coming after me, remember? I was defending myself.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::looks up:: CO: Wait! They're gone again.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
Computer: \\ COMPARE EMISSIONS TO KNOWN ENERGY TYPES. EXTRAPOLATE: COULD ENERGY EMISSIONS BE RESULT OF LIFEFORM ACTIVITY? \\

Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> TO: I'm kinda glad to get out of there. After all that's happened ... losing Y'Et and the Counselor ... and the Commander in a coma, I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: Shush, I want to listen ...

VADM_Sheridan says:
::realizes that she is in Sulek's arms and doesn't attempt to move away although she knows she should::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::wonders briefly what's up with that, then decides she doesn't really care::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he establishes his age old link with her and seeks to shield her mind:: ~~Sheridan: I am here.  I will help you if I can.  You know now that you are more to me than an old friend.  It is just that I cannot show this as others would.~~

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::looks at the Admiral with concern::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: Then listen. I remember it like yesterday ::shuts up::

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: Lauren - "So where do your talents lie, Ben Pangborn?" she asks as she takes his arm and leans against him. "Out there," he simply responds with a smile, staring at the stars.

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: She looks out at the sky - "In space?" He suddenly breaks away from her and jumps up onto the balcony fence, balancing over a 50 foot drop - "To the stars and beyond!" Lauren gasps and steps back - "Ben, get down from there!"

VADM_Sheridan says:
::smiles and nods:: ~~~CO: As I have told you before, your thoughts are safe within me Sulek.~~~

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::sighs:: EO: As much as we have to, I suppose. We never seem to stay in one situation too long anyway.

Sso`De`Roar says:
CO: Let’s get her on a bed and scan her.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::recoils at the painful memory and looks down, knowing how this ends::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> TO: Yeah, it seems like some stories my father used to read to me when I was younger. "Cap'n Pip and the Journey to Qo'Nos," one world after another ... never stopping to take a breath ... so much beauty and horror that it overloads us.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::arrives on the Bridge:: CSO: Lt Telarus reporting, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he gives her a small nod of his own:: ~~Sheridan: Then you know.  I suspected you did.  ~~ Roar: It will not be necessary.

Sso`De`Roar says:
::nods to the CO::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::smiles at Jade:: OPS: I am fine Jade, please do not concern yourself with me now.

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: Ben laughs with an energy that goes beyond youth ... it speaks of the power of his soul and heart ... he grins and leaps down into Lauren's terrified arms - "You could have fell!" she cries. "And I would have had an angel to catch me," he simply replies. Lauren rolls her eyes.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::looks absently through a porthole:: EO: Don't forget the broken bones...

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns :: CEO: Yes, Lieutenant?

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: Hmmm.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he realizes that he is embracing Sheridan in plain view, but for now it does not seem to matter::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: How are you holding up?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::doesn't look convinced::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::looks down at her suddenly:: EO: Cap'n Pip? You too?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  I'm tired.  I'm losing hope.  It helps to have someone to talk to though.  Thanks.  ::smiles sincerely::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> ::Laughs:: TO: All the time.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::looks back to Sulek and closes her eyes for a moment then steps back:: CO: Sulek, thank you for your help.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::coughs:: Trickster: That would be what we call "Love". I'm sure it’s the emotion you're least connected with

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: No kidding.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::returns the smile:: CTO: Well, it's the first time I've felt useful in a while. Thanks.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::laughs a little himself:: EO: Wow, I'd forgotten those.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he steps back and then gently he places his index and middle finger next to hers:: Sheridan: I will keep this link to help shore your defenses.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  If we ever get back to our ship, any chance you might stay with the Quirinus crew?

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: Pangborn stands behind Lauren and wraps his arms around her, as she calms down and they both gaze back at the moon - "So that means what ..." she begins "... you want to join Starfleet or something?" "Maybe," he responds "I'm not sure. I'd love it, I think. To go out there. To explore the unknown. I would love some adventure in my life!"

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: I've given that some thought. I'm not entirely sure it would be up to me.

Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> TO: Well, I have something to admit ...

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: You honor me, dear friend. ::nods again::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::nods::  FCO:  I have a feeling that when this is over, you will be inextricably part of the crew.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: We have much to discuss.  I am .. pleased that I can help.  You know this.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
EO: What's that?

Host SM_Selan says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> TO: ... I sort of still have the books.

Sso`De`Roar says:
CMO: Wanna do something to pass the time?

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: I wonder what my ship will think about the whole situation.

Host SM_Selan says:
@ ACTION: A frown crosses Lauren's face, but she says nothing. A face filled with hope for the future, Ben smiles and looks down at her - "What about you?"

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::looks concerned::  FCO:  I imagine you've been reported as MIA.  Do you have family?

VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: I agree, but now is not the proper time. We will know when that time comes.

CTO: I do, my parents and a younger brother back home on Earth.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::grins:: EO: Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: I hadn't even thought of them. They've probably heard about me by now.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Sir I have asked one of the Aquati Engineers to see if it would be a possibility to remanufacture our technology here, he will research it for us.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  MIA Starfleet officers show up unexpectedly all the time.  I hope they have faith.

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: Another beam passes through the room OPS and the Admiral are there, however this time several breaks appear in it ... it seems to fluctuate. The Admiral hears nothing.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::feels a tinge of sadness::

Host SM_Selan says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: What happened to you?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sheridan: Yes. We will know.  We know now what we have always known.  If you would excuse me, I should see if the CSO has made any progress.  The link should protect you from the voices.  ::turns and heads towards the bridge::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CEO: Very good, Lieutenant. What specific technology did you have in mind? Recall that we are still Starfleet officers, and are sworn to uphold the Prime Directive.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::sees the light and looks at Jade:: OPS: See that?

Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: As the CO exits, he walks right into SSo’Da’maor.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> TO: They're sort of like a security blanket for me.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::nods and looks more closely at the light and sees the breaks::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: What do you mean? My emotions, is that you are so unaccustomed to?

VADM_Sheridan says:
::seems to ignore Sulek at that moment::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
Adm: This one is...different.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Maor: I was just on my way to see if there was any progress.

VADM_Sheridan says:
OPS: That time it was different. I didn't sense anything at all.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: peers at the readout... the nature of the unknown energy emissions has just changed before his eyes ::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: Heh, my mother's probably worried sick. She wasn't too crazy about my choice to join Starfleet.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Right now sir to keep that in mind we could create communicators and tricorders probably nothing else such as medical or engineering equipment, especially weapons, but these people might be able to provide better of those items than I could produce

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::nods her head slowly:: Adm: It’s..broken.

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::nods thoughtfully:: EO: Like plasma grenades for me.... ::watches Erin for a reaction::

VADM_Sheridan says:
OPS: Maybe we should tell Commander Kraight and see if he has any theories.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: Well ... yes and no. ::Gestures at the grinning young Pangborn:: I followed and studied you for over a year. I may not know what feelings feel like, but I can easily identify them. This young, thirsty for life and the mystery of the Universe, Ben Pangborn is a lot different than the cold, hard, borderline psychopathic man ...

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  Nor was my father.  But he believed in destiny and that this was mine.  I'm sure he has faith that I'll be back to Earth to see him someday.  ::smiles reassuringly::

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: ... who is willing to threaten to murder Storm officers just to get what he wants?

Sso`De`Roar says:
ADM: Need anything, any medicine or anything?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::nods:: Adm: I think so.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> ::Blinks and stares at the TO ... then bursts out laughing::

VADM_Sheridan says:
Roar: I am fine, there is no need for medication.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::nods::

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
CO: I do not know. You would have to talk to your science man about that. Unfortunately, it seems we cannot go to the Great City.

VADM_Sheridan says:
Roar: Excuse us please, we must get to the bridge.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
Computer: // PERFORM MULTIMODAL REFLECTION SORTING ANALYSIS ON MOST RECENT EMISSION, TIME INDEX 43418.6. CONFIRM: DID SIGNAL ASSUME COHERENT, NON-RANDOM FORM? //

::laughs with her::

Sso`De`Roar says:
ADM: Of course.

VADM_Sheridan says:
OPS: After you Lieutenant.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Maor: May I ask why.  I was interested in seeing this underwater marvel you are from.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
CO: Take a walk with me, Captain ...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: We all do what we have to do now, don't we? I would take the same actions again. It's something called integrity and knowing when to be hard, when all is lost. That is when humans are at there very best.

Sso`De` says:
::heads for sickbay::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: Hmm...::looks around::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Maor: Of course.  ::walks next to him::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::nods and sets off to find the CSO::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CEO: Communicators and tricorders seem a reasonable start, Lieutenant, but do not provide information to the Aquati regarding any technology they do not already possess.

Sso`De` says:
::walks into sickbay and looks at our guest::

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CSO: Aye sir, in the meantime is there anything you would like my assistance in while the Aquati Engineers procure authorization and the needed parts for this project?

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: That's not what I asked, Commander. You're jumping around again. The man I'm about to become is a LOT different than the man he was ... ::Gestures at the happy young Pangborn:: You don't seem so much interested in exploring as beating the pulp out of the next villain that shows up. What happened to you?

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
CO: You say you're explorers ...

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  I don't suppose they've ever heard of caffeine of any sort.  The bean only grows on Earth.  ::gets a far away look in her eye::

VADM_Sheridan says:
OPS: Do you think Commander Pangborn will recover? ::walks around a corner::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::thinking about coffee::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Maor: Yes. It is one of the tenets of our organization to seek out other life forms.

Sso`De` says:

Sso`De` says:
FCO: my name is Sso'De'.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: So you're saying my kind is responsible for you being in your present state? Hmph ... it seemed like you were like this before we even met.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
CEO: I am beginning to wonder if the Abyss either shelters a life form, or is alive in some way itself. If so, it may also be sentient. Explore the Aquati engineering database *carefully*, and determine if they have anything similar to our Universal Translator. DO NOT advise any Aquati of what you are looking for.

Sso`De` says:
FCO: Here coffee.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::nods in agreement:: CSO: Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::looks away:: Trickster: I wasn't blaming you specifically. There is other…creatures than you.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::reluctantly takes the cup, and looks down at the CTO::

Sso`De` says:
CTO: Would you like one.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
CO: I've tried to find this out often in the last week, but nothing has been gained. How did you come to arrive on our world?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::eyes twinkle:: FCO:  You try it first.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: I see. So it has nothing to do with ... her? ::Gestures to Lauren::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: Okay. ::takes a gulp::

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::walks away over to one of the Bridge stations that are away from the main focus of attention:: Aquati: Excuse would you mind if I were to use this console to read some of your historical documents?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::Looks down at Cherry, and downs the rest of it::

VADM_Sheridan says:
::rounds another corner:: OPS: Jade, can you answer a rather personal question for me?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@ ::sighs and looks up:: Trickster: And why in the universe would you think that?

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<Aquati on Bridge> ::Stares at the CEO nervously for a moment:: CEO: Go ahead.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ ::Taps his head:: XO: Getting deeper by the moment.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: Not bad.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Maor: That is difficult to explain.  As I told you our path has been chosen for us by another mechanism.  It method of transport varies.  From our last place, we jumped into a chasm of rushing water...and from that point you know the rest.

Sso`De` says:
::walks over to a replicator and gets more coffee::

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
Adm: Sure...I guess.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  Does it have any kick to it?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
::is rather curious::

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Aquati: Thank you. ::sits down and starts tapping away trying to cover his tracks while he searches for Commander Kraight's requested information or at least try to put something together::

TO_Ens_Wolverton says:
::looks around tiredly::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: It's a little strong.

Sso`De` says:
::and a walk back with more drops a few drips of captain Morgain::

Sso`De` says:
CTO: try this.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: From even deeper in my mind, you'll find an ugliness not even you could bear. Why don't you find it and die in it?

VADM_Sheridan says:
::stops and takes Jade's arm:: OPS: Am I in the way here? I get the feeling that the crew wishes I had not come along on this journey.

Sso`De`Roar says:

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ ::Sighs:: XO: Because you won't let me.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
Adm: No, Sir...you have not been a problem at all. I, for one, am glad you are here.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::looks over at Roar and motions him away::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::chuckles:: CTO: Heh, haven't slept much lately anyway.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster: Yes, we all have our secrets don't we? Even "Gods" I would imagine.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
Adm: What gave you that impression?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
::sniffs it::

Sso`De` says:
CTO: I take a small sip.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ ::Frowns at the thought of secrets::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  Why not?  It’s not like the action has been fast and furious.  ::cautiously takes a sip::

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::starts to find some references to different languages::

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
De:  Not bad.  Thanks.  ::smiles::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Maor: Always our change is marked by the appearance of a group of runes.  I do not know if others can see them.

VADM_Sheridan says:
OPS: Just a feeling that's all, but thank you for your honesty. Now where is Kraight.......oh there he is.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:

Sso`De` says:
::takes a small bottle of Captain Morgian and take a sip from it::

Sso`De` says:

VADM_Sheridan says:
::smiles:: OPS: I know Jade, I know.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  No kidding,  plus being at the mercy of these people.  They are friendly enough, but wouldn't you rather be at the helm than down here?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
:;looks across the room and tries to catch Kraight's attention::

Sso`De` says:
::puts the bottle away::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:

Sso`De` says:
FCO: Well would you care to join me.

VADM_Sheridan says:
::walks up to Kraight:: CSO: Commander, we have some data for you to analyze. :;turns to Jade:: OPS: Care to elaborate?

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
CO: I used to be dedicated to science. The art of discovery made my life worth living. It drove me to new depths...new distances.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::roughly pats the trickster on the back:: Wassa matter Tricky? Feeling a little ....sad?

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  You haven't tried to sneak a peek yet?

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<"Pangborn"> @ XO: Only as much as you are, Ben.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CSO: There are...the beams of light.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Maor: And now?

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CSO: They are...everywhere.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::starts to put together the pieces of the puzzle:: Self: Hmm...interesting.

OPS_Ltjg_Morgan says:
CSO: They come and go...wherever I am. The Admiral can.....hear them.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
::Darkens:: CO: The horrors visited upon my people have made me focus on other things. Frankly the survival of my people. I no longer feel the need to search the unknown ... maybe that's why I cannot find a way to solve the problem of the Abyss.

Sso`De`Roar says:
::arrives back in the med lab::

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
CTO: Not yet....maybe I'll go take a walk up there. ::looks to Sso`De`:: If that's alright with you of course.

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
VADM: Hear them?

Sso`De` says:
FCO: No problem, this way.

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<Lt. Jg. Eisenhower> ::Comes up with the TO upon a weird looking door:: Hmmm.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
FCO:  Thanks again.  ::curls up in her chair::

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::pulls up what looks a like routine and sub routine program editor:: Self: Perfect...just perfect, exactly what I wanted.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Trickster. Try not to eternalize the moment. That goes for good times, as well as bad.

VADM_Sheridan says:
CSO: Yes, like when I touched the rune, but the last time was different.

Sso`De` says:
::arrives on the bridge::

Sso`De` says:
FCO: This is the bridge.

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
De: I see. ::looks around::

VADM_Sheridan says:
CSO: Voices, sounds, many hundreds of voices bombarding my mind at the same instant.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Maor: Or perhaps you only needed new eyes.  I too have considered more than just the logic that drives my people. I have come to understand that science is not what we discover, but what we wish to use it for.  It is not the final solution, only a solution.  There is more.

Sso`De` says:
::here take the conn::

CSO_LtCmdr_Kraight says:
:: looks sharply at Morgan :: OPS: Broken? How long ago, as exactly as you can estimate?

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:

FCO_Ens_Grainger says:
::surprised at the request:: De: Uh, I don't know. You sure that's alright?

Sso`De`Roar says:
CTO: I understand you need equipment. Could I help in providing you with some?

CSO: If I can be of any assistance......

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<Ensign Rio> CO: I'm an avid fan of her plays. They really spoke to me .. anyway, there's a favorite of mine ... called "Watch on the Rhine." One of my favorite speeches from that play ... well, it sort of applies to this situation.

De: It's a lot different than what I'm used to, I can tell you that much.

CTO_Ltjg_Cherry says:
Roar:  That would be great.  Thanks.  ::closes her eyes just for a minute::

VADM_Sheridan says:

Host SSo’Da’maor says:
<Ensign Rio> CO: It spoke of how people had once been in love with science, the arts, and the mysteries of the Universe ... because of Earth's renaissance. And then World War I & II happened and people forgot that love. All the death and destruction made them forget and lose interest. The Renaissance Man had died and gone away.
