Summary - The Away Team has returned to the Quirinus, with two additional people than when they left - one Salina Viera, the former CO of the USS Karelian, and her daughter Eula.  Have they escaped the planet's surface, and its strange temporal and supernatural on goings, or are they simply beginning?  Meanwhile, Captain Matisse and Commander Azhure have set off a false alarm, hoping to draw attention away from the computer room they are attempting to infiltrate...

TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::now able to sit, stand and move without pain, is anxious to end her involuntary "confinement":: MO: So it's about time you let me out of here, right?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks at Matisse and the chronometer::  CIV:  Mom... you think we should go now?  This really is not going to look good on my record. :: Looks chagrined.::
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@CNS: With the alarm, might be best to take the stairs.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge::
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::in the bridge head, splashing water on his face and trying to collect himself from the lingering psionic impressions::
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Sitting in the security office, keeping an eye on the monitor where Eula Viera is resting in the Brig::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Nods as she turns, unobtrusively removing the chip::  CIV:  I am sorry... :: Gives a heavy sigh::  I guess I am ready... but I had really wanted to see that other room.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::makes a small update to Adrienne's medical file, then nods:: TO: I see no reason to keep you, lieutenant.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CTO* Have security teams been dispatched to patrol and scan each deck?
CEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Enters engineering::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: monitoring short-range sensors at Science One on the bridge ::
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Heads out the door and takes a look before heading for the stairs:: CNS: you tried, we don't even know if thats in this building. Did you find anything?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::finishes signing a padd and hands it back to the ensign:: CO: I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get out of Salina. More of Jarvase's territory, but I'll give it a shot if you really want
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
*CO*: Internal security scans have been constantly going since we departed the surface.  Patrols are also turning up nothing so far, Captain.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::turns off the water and pulls a cloth from the dispenser, drying his face as he tries to read what he sees in his own grey eyes in the mirror::
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::jumps off the bed and is almost out the door before the words finish coming out of his mouth - looks over her shoulder and speaks just before leaving:: MO: See, now that wasn't so hard after all ::exits SB::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CTO* Understood...I would expect the disruption to be sudden as it was at Crossroads.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::sighs, muttering something about never learn, and taps his badge:: *CTO*: Jervase to commander Powers.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: In a voice only Matisse can hear.::  CIV:  We are being watched.  :: Louder::  Well... I noticed a lot of people around that super computer.  That seemed strange.  One of these days perhaps I will get to see it up front.  :: Follows her quickly down the 'fire' escape.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
*MO*: Go ahead, Ensign...
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: I am curious only in the sense of how Eula became the Executioner.  Her mind was clearly tormented by an outside influence.  As more of a tactile telepath, to be able to hear the controlling voices without touch, indicates a strong presence.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::admonishes himself to pull it together and paints a mask of stone on his face, discarding the tissue with the emotions as he exits the head and makes his way to the bridge:;
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
*CTO*: I've released Lieutenant Kostandinos from sickbay just now, Commander. She should be up to light duty at the least.
CEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Going over the daily engineering reports::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: Salina is, however, still unconscious.  It would probably do her the most good to rest from her ordeal.
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
*MO*: Good news, Ensign.  Have you had a chance to check on Salina?
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Starts walking down the stairs:: CNS: Well better get you to bed
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: I agree
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::scans the room discretely to bring himself up to speed as he makes his way to the Helm, relieving the duty officer and sliding in to his seat:;
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CIV:  Yes mom...  :: Makes it the bottom step and pauses, going still.::
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
*CTO*: Snoozing soundly when last I checked, sir. I've been following what I can from the surveillance of her quarters, aside from making my own periodic checks.
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::enters the security office just as she hears Jervase talking to Powers and rolls her eyes at the words "light duty":: CTO: He's being overly careful - I'm back, and I'm fine.  So where do you want me?  ::leans back against the wall and waits for her next task::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
FCO: Good to have you back, Mr. Ahkileez.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: I don't think we should press her at this point, unless the Doctor approves.  She will take time to readjust to ship living.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::looks over his shoulder:: CSO: Thank you, Commander.
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
TO: What did you do with those scales we picked up in the caves?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: Looked like a whole lot more than readjustment was needed. Hopefully, out of the influence of the mechanisms of the planet she'll be okay
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Turns:: CNS: What’s wrong?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Her eyes narrow.::  CIV: Mom... I promised I would not bring any strays home.  But if we don't hurry...
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: Our first concern is whether the Xherivans will try to come for their executioner.  We need to be as able as possible to control this contact.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::finishes the final touches on Adrienne's official medical report, and forwards up the CoC like a good little medical person::
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::turns forward again and brings up a plotting map of the space for a hundred light years around to begin laying out several alternate routes back to their destination should they find one unusable::
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@CNS: What are you mumbling about dear...:: hurries towards the exit::
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::pulls them out of her side pocket, thankful that they somehow managed to stay with her and sets the container on the desk in front of him:: CTO:  There you go.
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
TO: Might want to show those to the helmsman, Lieutenant Soriq.  He was working with some of those that we found aboard the ship...
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CIV:  Race you...
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: I'd like to know how she came to be the executioner. I was thinking it's possibly an alien race, that needs a host, or vessel of some sort to manifest itself. Then there's the matter of it's need for 'sacrifices'.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns :: XO, CO: The possibility of a psychophage comes to mind... a creature that feeds directly on the mental energies of its prey.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::deletes some of the alternate routes after the computer notifies them that the margin for error is too high, streamlining the choices the best available options::
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::puts together a medical kit, and starts out of sickbay for Salina's quarters:: *CTO*: Commander, I'm heading for Salina's quarters again. I'd like to make sure your men will allow me access.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@CNS: Your on! :: Races for the door:: Last one there is a rotten egg
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: From the voices I heard in Eula's mind it would seem that her controllers are indeed trapped.  They would then need a corporeal form in this dimension for control.  As to the sacrifices, there may be several reasons...a continuation of their myth or even a botched attempt at crossing over.
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks a little curious for a second as to why a pilot is analyzing scale samples, but shrugs and goes with it, taking the sample case back:: CTO:  Consider it done.  ::grins and walks away to find the FCO::
CEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Sets down the reports and begins to look over the schematics for Summer's device again::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: We'll need more time to find out. Either that or it wil make itself apparent soon enough.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::multitasking, requests an automated engine status update from Engineering while working on the plots and streaming the fine-detailed scans from the short-range sensor arrays::

@ACTION: Two women in black uniforms suddenly appear in the path of Azhure and Matisse.  One of them commands them to halt.

MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::steps into a turbolift, requesting Salina's deck and waits for a reply from Powers::
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
*MO*: That should be no problem, Doctor.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: It is not a disease that I sensed but a strong, separate controlling entity although certainly a phage would help accomplish the task...but then how would a being unable to cross over accomplish such an infection?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CIV:  I think the eggs are already rotten here... :: Pauses to look at the women.::  Mom... they don't look too happy.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods, unseen:: *CTO*: Understood, commander.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::steps off the lift, and makes his way down the corridor to the quarters in question::
Host SM_ChrisD says:
@<Woman> CIV: Who are you?  Why are you here?
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Stops dead in her tracks and laughs:: Women: What can I help you with ladies? CNS: I would have won
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
Humph...
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: No, I meant a larger creature, not a microbe. Something like, say, the Amorites of Alpha Carina 5.
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::realizing halfway there that she has no idea where the FCO is at the moment to drop off said scales:: Computer: Computer, where is Lt. Ahkileez?
Host SM_ChrisD says:
@<Woman> CIV: I asked who are you, and why are you here.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::pauses outside the door, and enters his access code::
Host SM_ChrisD says:
<Computer> TO: Lieutenant Soriq is on the Bridge.
CEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Begins to program the computer to run another simulation to try and increase the efficiency of the device::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks down at her foot as if embarrassed at the same time letting the rest of her senses roam the general area.::

ACTION: The door to Salina's quarters opens at the doctor's command.  Salina is snoring lightly on the couch.

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: Still such a creature would need to be in at least the same dimension.  If what we now believe is true about the Xherivans is true,  then they have moved, according to the myth, to another dimension.  I believe that dimension has direct correspondence to time control.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Holds up her ID to eye level:: CNS: And we were here on a tour as a last minute inspiration for a little one tomorrow for school.  :: Laughs:: But as you can see, we got interrupted and are a bit soggy
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: looks thoughtful :: 
TO_Nani says:
::Watches the MO quietly, peeking into the quarters as they open::
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::grimaces at the self-important computer voice, and makes for the TL:: TL: Bridge
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: If they willingly went, why would they want to come back to our dimension, assuming that's what they're trying to do?
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods at the TO nearest the door, fully expecting to be followed as he enters::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: The use of time would explain the interesting question about what happened to our FCO ::looks over at Ahkileez:: and why the rain, for lack of a better term, paused.
Host SM_ChrisD says:
@<Woman> ::Snatches the ID rudely and scrutinizes it as the other watches them::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: The myth is that they chose.  The creators of that myth may also be obscuring the truth.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: I concur. And... if the Xherivans can time-shift, it would make them extremely difficult to detect.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@Women: I take it you don't have children? Well if you want them to do well, you have to motivate.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::enters the quarters, immediately approaching Salina, being careful not to wake her as he pulls out his tricorder and runs a routine scan over her::
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::finds the optimal departure vector and adjusts the ship's orbit to move in to that departure lane, goosing the portside thrusters gently to nudge the Quirinus in a new direction::
Host SM_ChrisD says:
@<Woman> CIV: If you want them to do well, you don't bring them to controlled facilities, I believe.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: Quite true. The discovery of the scales, if they are a part of Xherivans physical make-up would also indicate that they are close to being able to cross over.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns to his panel :: CO: But, there's a good chance that their temporal activity would result in a small but measurable chronoton flux. I am setting up a continuous short-range scan for changes in chronoton density.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@Women: and take them where? to the sex shop down the street? or the market so they can learn to beg? what good is that?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Suddenly coughs::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: An excellent idea.
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::steps off onto the bridge and approaches the FCO:: FCO: Lt. Ahkileez?
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@CNS: You alright hon?
Host Salina_Viera says:
::Snorts, and rolls over, stirring.  She rubs her eyes, and opens them to the sight of the MO scanning her::
Host SM_ChrisD says:
@<Woman> ::Is visibly annoyed::  CIV: You should watch your tongue.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::turns his chair toward the voice:: TO: Lieutenant Konstandinos-Michaels. Is there a problem?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Her eyes water as she erases the humor that caught her off guard.::  CIV:  Yes mom... but I am chilled.  I think I might be getting a cold.  Can we please go now and change?
CEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Begins to run the simulation:: Computer: Inform me when the simulation has concluded.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::offers a slight smile as Salina wakes:: Salina: Sorry to wake you... this won't take but a minute.
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::smiles:: FCO: Not yet, anyways.  Cmdr. Powers said you were looking into the scales found at the site of the attack on the Ambassadors - we found some more of them in the same caves where Cmdr. Viera was found.  ::hands him the container:: Thought you might like a look at them.
Host Salina_Viera says:
::Sits up::  MO: Oh, no problem.  ::Looks at the collar::  Should I call you Doctor, or Ensign?
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@Women: then you should not insult my mothering skills, My daughter is going to do well, I think it should be you that watches you tongue.  ::Rubs her hands down the CNS's arms rapidly:: Now, I do not need my child to get sick, may be leave please?
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::takes the container, holding the shiny scales up against the light:: TO: Certainly looks the same as the one I found. ::looks up at her:: Are these from one of the things we encountered?
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::laughs slightly:: Salina: Either is fine... or Michael if you'd prefer. How are you feeling?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Nods, letting her teeth chatter, which was not to far from the truth as they stood there in the deepening dark of the night.::
Host SM_ChrisD says:
@<Woman> ::Snorts::  CIV: Your child has wet herself, and you, too.  I suggest you come with us, we can get you fresh clothes... if you're so suddenly concerned.
Host Salina_Viera says:
MO: I'm feeling alright.  Where are we?
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: That's what we're thinking, anyways.  No one down on the planet saw the actual living being, if there even is one, who left these in the first place, and nothing showed up on the tricorders, same as the ambassador attack.  But according to Cmdr. Powers they're the same scales.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
Salina: Aboard the Quirinus. We've arranged quarters for you.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@Women: I'm sure we can last till we get home.  Did you have anything else for us?  You've already checked our ID's.  ::Continues to warm up the CNS::
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::frowns at the scales:: TO: I would say they are top priority. I think it's reasonable to believe now that they waltzed on, but possibly not off, the Quirinus without being noticed. Finding some way to locate them would seem critical.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks insulted::  Woman:  I did not wet myself.  It was that stupid.. :: shuts up as if realizing who she was talking too and mumbles something under her breath.::
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::gives an approving nod, and tucks the tricorder away, motioning to a chair nearby:: Salina: May I?
Host Salina_Viera says:
MO: Oh, sure.  None of this is mine, so... ::Shrugs::
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Snaps at the CNS:: CNS: watch your tongue young lady.
Host SM_ChrisD says:
@<Woman> ::Throws the ID back::  CIV: I suggest you leave, and promptly.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods, and moves to lower himself into the chair:: Salina: Is there anything you need?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Waits to follow Matisse as that would only be 'proper'.::
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::sighs:: FCO: So far, your guess is as mine as to how to scan for them - if you rely on the instruments it would seem that they don't even exist.
Host Salina_Viera says:
::Sighs and shakes her head::  MO: No, maybe just some company.  I woke up here, and I was still tired, so I went back to sleep.  How long have I been out?
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@Women: Thank you ma'am.  ::Walks away:: CNS: You are never to disrespect others in that manner.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::shrugs:: TO: There are other ways, things that aren't as easily shielded. Olfactory traces, bio-electric residue... psionic?
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
Salina: Since we left the surface... yesterday. ::tries to comfort Salina, but doesn't leave anyway::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
...
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::thinks for a moment:: FCO: Psionic meaning similar to telepathy?
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: TO: Everything emits a brain signature. It's that signature that telepaths pick up on. I didn't study the crew manifest as thoroughly as I should have. Do we have any Betazoids aboard?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CIV:  I am sorry mom... I promise to better next time.  I just need to get a bit of a distance away from this place.
Host Salina_Viera says:
MO: Hm, that's quite some time.  Guess I'm not used to cushioned sleeping places.  I've been on that planet for so long....
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
Salina: Do you know how long it's been, Salina?
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::thinks that she's been there for less than a week, and 24 hrs of that was spent out of commission, so he's asking the wrong girl:: FCO: I can find out.  ::moves to an empty terminal and pulls up the crew manifest::
Host Salina_Viera says:
MO: About two years, it's been... quite a while.
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Taps his commbadge::  *CO/XO*: Captain?  Commander?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*CTO*: Pangborn here
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*CTO*: Sulek, here.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Heads towards there hotel in the market.:: CNS: Lets go back to the room.  ::Whispers:: Might look odd of we just headed to the ship
CTO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
*CO/XO*: I thought you'd like to know that Salina is awake.  Doctor Jervase is seeing to her now... Security Officer Nani is there, watching them.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::looks at Sulek:: CO: Want me to check on her?
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::follows her, content that he can perform his duty as soon as the captain is ready to move out:: TO: You'll want someone of some age, with the discipline to do what you need.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks over at Pangborn:: XO: I think given our discussion it might be prudent...but do not press her.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: Aye. *CTO*: I'm on my way to her quarters now. Pangborn out.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CIV:  Actually, unless you really object mom... I would like to go there right now... as in :: Judges they are almost far enough away from the buildings interference:: Right now.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::leaves for Salina's quarters::
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods, shifting his eyes about the room, looking thoughtful:: Salina: Well, you're out of harm's way, now. We're doing the best we can to keep it that way.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Doesn't look back:: CNS: Do it. ::Changes there direction to head towards the ship::
Host Salina_Viera says:
::Sits up abruptly::  MO: My child!  Where is Eula?
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::nods and continues searching:: FCO: So far, no dice...
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
Salina: She's aboard, Salina. She's safe... I promise you that.
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Voice> OPS: David Telarus...::The small translucent women looks up at him::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Takes a braclet from one wrist and to another and activates the shuttles transporter.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::stops outside Salina's quarters and hits the chime::
OPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
#Voice: Who are you?
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Voice> OPS: A friend...

@ACTION: Captain Matisse and Commander Azhure dematerialize and reappear on the shuttle.

TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::curses, just loud enough for those near her to possibly hear, then looks up:: FCO: No one fits that description.
Host Salina_Viera says:
MO: Can I see her?  They took her...
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::nearly frowns, but keeps his face as impassive as he can manage:: TO: It might be a dry hole, but it's worth pursuing still. I doubt regressive investigation will reveal anything. It's difficult to predict the actions of a being you have next to no information on.
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Voice> ::The form hovers over towards Telarus and hir white eyes watch him:: OPS: Life for you is about to change...
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Sighs as she begins to strip out of her clothes as she heads for the back and hopefully a spare suit.::  CIV:  Talk about leaving with nothing but your skin.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Starts stripping out off her uniform and takes a seat at the console::
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::sighs, and reaches to place a hand on Salina's shoulder:: Computer: Computer, identify the individual requesting entry? ::just shakes his head slightly:: Salina: I can't be sure how she'll react to you, Salina. She... tried to kill one of our officers.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::enters Salina's quarters::
Host Salina_Viera says:
::Looks at the new person::  XO: Hi!  Come on in....
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Salina: Salina...how are you. ::nods at Jervase::
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
FCO: Well, we'd need someone who could actually do it, and right now we're coming up short.  What are our other options?
OPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
#Voice: How so?
Host Salina_Viera says:
XO: Um... MO: How am I?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Salina: Yes. How do you feel?
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@CNS: I hate being wet...::Sits at the console, starting up systems a wet t-shirt and pants, kicking off her other shirt , socks and shoes.::
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::returns the nod to Pangborn, and giving a slight smile to Salina:: XO: She's still showing signs of stress, but... physically, aside from that, she's fine.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::shrugs:: TO: The other investigative vectors. Olfactory, bioelectric, even oxygen consumption in areas of the ship the computer knows to be unoccupied.
Host Salina_Viera says:
XO: I feel rested.... nice place you've got here.
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Voice> ::The translucent creature reaches out and grabs David's hand...a tingle runs along his skin. Power. Hir eyes fix on the Starfleet man:: OPS: Death. Pain. Love. Crossroads will be forever changed by the actions of you and yours.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Finds the towels and tosses one to Matisse and then begins a quick rub down on herself.:: CIV:  The ship is on standby, we should be able to leave quickly... best get clearance though.  No more surprises tonight would be nice.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
MO: Good. 
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Salina: I'd like to talk about your daughter if we might.
Host Salina_Viera says:
XO: She's still safe, right?!?  MO: You told me she was fine...
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
Salina: She is. ::gives the XO a look that says we need to talk::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Salina: She's being well taken care of, I assure you.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Sends a hail for permission to leave, as she dries off her hair::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Salina: In fact, I'd like to talk to you about her. If you feel up to it.
Host Salina_Viera says:
::Scratches her head::  XO: Okay...
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Finds an oversized jacket and slips that on before coming to take the other seat.::  CIV:  As soon as we are clear, I'll order up some clothes.
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
XO: Commander, a word with you a moment please?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
MO: Certainly:: steps aside to talk::
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::bites her lower lip for a moment, thinking:: FCO: Well the oxygen consumption is something the computer can scan for; but if this... thing... is managing to exist in populated areas without detection, that won't find it.  The others... they will take some time.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Sulek stands, they have waited as long as they can:: FCO: to station.
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@::Covers her mouth as she yawn:: CNS: Just waiting for the signal to leave.  I want to go to bed. ::Laughs::
OPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
#Voice: Not to diminish my worth, but how can I change it?
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods, getting up and moving out of earshot of Salina:: XO: ::speaking quietly:: Commander, she's asking to see her daughter... I can't allow that. We can't be sure how she'll react to her, or the other way around.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CIV:  I'll take us out for the first few hours, then we can switch.  And don't forget... I get my new badge.
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Voice> OPS: An idea can be a powerful thing, Mr. Telarus. ::Hir voice drops to a gentle whisper:: In bliss one can find salvation...
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*XO* It is time to return for the conference.  We will break orbit shortly.  The Xherivans must wait.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::lifts a brow:: TO: The sooner the better. ::turns at the call of his name and shrugs at Kostandinos-Michaels:: Vulcan Security is pursuing investigations of this type. I'll forward you what they have. ::steps away and heads back to his station, slipping to his chair::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
MO: I agree. Have you been able to determine if she is still unaware of her daughters transformation?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
FCO: Return course plotted?
OPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
#Voice: I don't know what you mean?
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Sir... I recommend we leave a Class Four probe in orbit around Zeta Coyvan, to monitor any developments in our absence.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Listens as permission is granted.:: CIV:  That is our cue mom.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CSO: Launch now, but with subspace being as it is, we may not receive any information until we or another return.
TO_LtJG_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks back down toward the console and gets to work::
Host CJ-Tala says:
#<Voice> OPS: When the time comes...you will understand. Awake, and face what is to come...
MO_Ens_Jervase says:
XO: So far, I can't be sure. Her immediate concern was knowing where she was. Outside of that...
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Acknowledged.   :: taps the configuration and launch commands into his LCARS panel ::
CIV_Capt_Matisse says:
@CNS: For what? Acting like a 10 year old? sure. ::Winks:: Hears the permission and starts take off procedures.:: Not to jinx us....but that felt like a way to easy prism mission...
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::brings up the course and lays it in, letting autopilot make the minute adjustments:: CO: Course laid in and breaking orbit for safe warp envelope.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
MO: We'll need to know more ::serious:: As must she.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
FCO: Take us out of orbit and then best speed to Crossroads on my mark.  CSO: Probe away?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CIV:  Hey... I make a very cute 10 year old.  :: Smiles as she takes the chip and looks at it for a moment.::  I agree... makes you wonder...
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sees the CSO nod:: FCO: Mark.
FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::transfers power to the warp nacelles and glances at his display as the warp field starts to fade in to existence as a blue sphere on the screen:: CO: Warp on your command, Captain.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
FCO: Engage.

ACTION - Eula Viera, "The Executioner" lays on the floor of a brig cell, gently sleeping. She appears to be a small child, age eight. Look closer however, and one can see as her skin slowly begins to peel away...

ACTION - As the Quirinus departs from Zeta Coyvan, the runabout Veritas departs from Lilitha...and Lt. Commander David Telarus wakes in the medical labs of Crossroads Station...laying next to three dead bodies...
