Summary - The crews of the U.S.S. Naftali and U.S.S. Quirinus have had a relatively uneventful two months. The Quirinus has spent much of their time over the past several weeks with the U.S.S. Yataghan playing peace keepers along the Tzani-Lilithine border. Conflict has increased dramatically over the past few months...the death toll is in the thousands...

The U.S.S. Naftali has been conducting several subspace surveys in the region in and around Crossroads. All reference to their encounter with the Lilithine station have been heavily classified and records are being studied under Captain Matisse's supervision aboard Crossroads.  Both vessels, New Orleans and Steamrunner now hang in space around the station. Conflicts between the five races seemed to have slowed to a simmer, and both ships now await orders for their next assignment...

QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::enters the bridge, looking a little hostile::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
*QCO*: Be there in a jiffy sir.
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO: Good morning, sir. All departments report operational readiness.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he absently rubs the now rapidly fading scar where his surgery was done::
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::In the Naftali sickbay, doing a few rounds, though really there wasn't much to do, she was just trying to keep busy.::
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::in Main Engineering with Ensign Chandra:: NCEO: Ensign Chandra?
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO: Excellent. *QFCO*: Acknowledged
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::finally gets him to behave and flies out her quarters for the bridge::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::enters the TL:: Computer Bridge and step on it. Please.

ACTION - Praetor Maiel enters sickbay and wanders around aimlessly. He catches sight of a woman laying on a bio-bed...he moves over and looks at the display. She's receiving treatment for plasma burns that occurred during a minor accident the day before.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO: I regret to report that the Science Department still has no hypothesis regarding the disappearance of Commander Azhure. None of our sensor sweeps have revealed anything the least bit out of the ordinary.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO: Well commander, how does it feel to be XO? Even though it will only be for a while
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::the TL stops on the bridge and she slides out and sits quickly at her station::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
QCO: Helm Ready sir.
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
NFCO: Yes sir?
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::hands moving swiftly over the controls::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO: I looked over the files you wrote. It looks like you did the best you could. Something tells me we haven't seen the last of her

ACTION - A comm signal beeps on both the Quirinus and the Naftali...a signal from Captain Matisse on the station...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO: It's... different. Frankly, I was not certain I was ready for this. I am still uncertain.
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::takes her station and looks over sensor readings::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::marking each survey to be sent to Starfleet and Crossroads, he rises and crosses to the ready room doors and then enters to the bridge::
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO: I hope you are right, Captain. Commander Azhure was an excellent officer... and a good friend.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
QCO: Sir we are being hailed.
NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: a small trail of drool begins to form ::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QFCO: On screen
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Sees an unfamiliar man walking about her sickbay, she walks over and introduces herself.:: Praetor: Hello... I'm Doctor Alexander, the Naftali's CMO...
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::puts it on the screen::
Host Praetor_Maiel says:
::The Praetor licks his lips as he looks over the young woman and suddenly turns to Alexander with a smile:: NCMO: Greetings Ensign...
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::notes the flashing light on his chair, he crosses and as he sit, nudges the XO:: Ops: On screen.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::stands::
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::glowers:: NCEO: Were you not able to get rid of that twenty Pico hertz variance in the warp field? This bucket's engine efficiency is bad enough as it is, and it can't afford to waste power bleeding it off in to subspace.

ACTION - The face of Captain Joanna Matisse can be seen on the split screen. The Quirinus crew sees the Naftali bridge and the Naftali crew see the Quirinus bridge. "Greetings, Captains," Matisse says with a somber expression.

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
::shakes his head and rubs the side of his face::  NCO: Uh, uh... Captain.  Just... resting.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Matise/Pangborn: Captains.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::nods:: COM: Matisse: Captain
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::looks at Sulek:: COM: Sulek: Captain
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
Praetor: So it's not everyday the director of the Federation Science console comes to visit.... what can I do for you sir?
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::sitting in his office, reviewing the Quirinus's physical rotation::
Host Praetor_Maiel says:
::The Praetor peels of a flake of skin from the back of his hand and pops it into his mouth, chewing it and softening it with his saliva:: NCMO: Observing...::His black eyes gaze at the young woman:: Is she expected to live?
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::checks all stations while they are at Crossroads::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: I noticed.  Ummm, you seem to have dribbled, Commander.
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
NFCO: We are doing our best, but I don't have a lot to work with here.
Host Captain_Matisse says:
COM: Quirinus/Naftali: I've received orders from Admiral Crenshaw...
NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
NCO: Best to focus on the present, Captain.  ::Watches the screen::
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks up, interested::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Pangborn: How are things aboard the Q?  I haven't had much of a chance to talk with you since my release from Crossroads sickbay. COM: Matisse: Please excuse my chatter, Captain.
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::face impassive but obvious disdain dripping from his lips:: NCEO: If it were up to me, we'd melt this hulk down and maybe manage one or two decent shuttles out of the scrap. In the meantime, see what you can do. This space is unstable enough without losing propulsion to overheating.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Reigns in her impulse to wretch, and keeps her face perfectly neutral as the praetor eats his own skin flakes.::  Praetor: Yes, she is...
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Quite.
Host Captain_Matisse says:
COM: Quirinus/Naftali: The U.S.S. Yataghan has been assigned a patrol route along the Lilithine-Tzani border on permanent peace-keeping duties. The U.S.S. Gatineau has been dispatched to the Lilitha system in hopes of re-establishing diplomatic ties between the Sisterhood and the Bliss and both the Naftali and the Quirinus are being sent out of the Xherivhan cluster, back to Zeta Coyvan...
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::isn't happy with what she hears::
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: raises one non-eyebrow with interest ::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::listens::
Host Praetor_Maiel says:
NCMO: Pity...::He gives a big toothy grin:: NCMO: I require all of the medical information you have on Lt. Commander Salina Viera...please make it available immediately...
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods, and sends automated notices to the QCTO, QFCO, and QXO that they're due for physicals::
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
NFCO: I could try rerouting some of the coolant from other systems, but I can't guarantee the results.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
*QCMO*: Not at the moment doctor.
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks down at her console as a notice comes in that she's due for a physical, and promptly deletes it - the action bringing a smile to her face for the first time that day::
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
Maiel: Cmdr. Salina Viera...  ::Repeats the name aloud and moves to the console looking her medical file up to have a kick glance.::
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: NCEO: I'll give you a hand. ::gestures in a 'lead on' fashion::
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Doing his usual walkabout of Main Engineering, handing out the days assignments. Light fixtures are acting up in some of the personnel quarters ... sending a few Pettis to deal with it::
Host Captain_Matisse says:
COM: Quirinus/Naftali: My staff will be forwarding information to you shortly. It appears that one of our automated probes has detected an electro-magnetic fluctuation in the Zeta Coyvan system. We would like you to investigate. A Noori monitoring station has lead us to believe that the Chelapha City Ship may be in the region...
Host Captain_Matisse says:
COM: Quirinus/Naftali: Command would like the Naftali to investigate the fluctuations, with the Quirinus providing tactical coverage...
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Begins showing the NFCO which systems they can most safely reroute::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::begins to put her evasives again back into the nav computer and the escape vectors aw well::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO/QCTO: Make sure the Naftali has up to date information on the Chelapha
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::stis at Operations reading reports::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Matise: Indeed.  I have read Captain Pangborn's assessment of the Chelapha.  We should assume that they have adapted to Kraight's subspace tractor beam.
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::nods:: QCO: Sending it now ::sends all the information she has on the Chelapha::
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::sends a panel message:: QFCO: Thanks again for the help with the Warp Core.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COM: Sulek/Matisse: That's a safe bet
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::joins Chandra in front of the Master Systems Display and brings up a coolant diagram, again frowning:: NCEO: Ship's systems are already stretched.
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::gets up from his seat, now, and heads for the bridge, not quite finished playing counselor yet he suspects::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Pangborn: Perhaps a phase variant should be developed.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::taps the response:: QOPS: Not a problem.
Host Captain_Matisse says:
@COM: Quirinus/Naftali: A safe enough assumption. I'll feel better with two ships out there watching each others backs... make due haste to Zeta Coyvan, Captains... and be safe...
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: stands ::  NCO: I'm not certain I agree, sir. The very characteristics of the Chelapha weapon that make it impossible to shield against may well mean that our counter-weapon cannot be countered... if you take my meaning.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
Maiel: Ahh, the former captain of the Karelian.  An interesting file... but why would you need this information now?  That was months ago sir.
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::sends message:: QFCO: What's the project of the day?
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Matisse/Pangborn: We will be under way immediately.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QFCO: Set course to Zeta Coyvan
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::sends back:: QOPS: Keep your eyes open and your seat belt on.
Host Praetor_Maiel says:
NCMO: She is of great interest to me and our upcoming assignment, Ensign. Please, transmit the files to the Astrophysics Lab immediately...
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::sends message:: QFCO: God help us with another maneuver like the last time.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COM: Sulek/Matisse: We're ready
Host Captain_Matisse says:
@COM: Quirinus/Naftali: Safe journey. Crossroads out.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
QCO: Understood sir, laying in coordinates now.  ::hand inputs the coordinates to the Zeta Coyvan system and executes::
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::feeling a little bit better after deleting Michael from her console:: QCO: So we get to go pay a visit to your old friends, huh?
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Transmission comes in that they're going to be going to warp soon:: Oh whoopee. ::Starts shouting orders to prepare the ship for warp travel::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Pangborn: Good luck, Captain. Naftali out.  Powers: Page the FCO to station.  He knows the area and his experience at the helm will be useful.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QFCO: Engage
NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
*NFCO*: Lieutenant Ahkileez to the Bridge.
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::overhears the coordinate layout command and prepares all stations::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QOPS: Stay in contact with the Naftali.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Lay in course and engage.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
QCO: Engaged sir warp 5.
NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
*All*: All hands prepare to disembark from Crossroads Station.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COM: Sulek: See you on the dark side of the moon ::sits down::
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Steps over to the core as they leap into warp, looks at the panel readouts. Grumbles something about Operations Managers and their inability to deal with warp cores ..::
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO: The question arises: What would the Chelapha want in the Zeta Coyvan system?

ACTION - The U.S.S. Quirinus swings around from the station and navigates past several subspace rifts. They jump to warp ahead of the Naftali, en route to Zeta Coyvan.

Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
<NFco> NCO: Engaged and matching course and speed with the Q.
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::steps out of the TL, on the bridge now, and moves to take up the counselor’s seat::
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
NFCO: Think the crew would give up their coffee? ::Smiling::
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::rolls his eyes at the page:: *NXO*: I'm on my way. NCEO: Try to get it down to at least ten Pico hertz. ::turns without saying anything more and leaves the engine room::
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
Maiel: I see... well I’m sure you're aware of the proper procedure for such a requisition of classified medical data.  I would need clearance from my commanding officer, have you spoken with him yet?

ACTION - The Naftali jumps to warp moments later. The image on the bridge shows stars streaking by and flashes of pink and purple light from nearby subspace tears.

NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
NCEO: I don't drink coffee, so I don't mind. Whatever you have to do, Ensign. ::nods again and exits the engine room::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO: My first guess is to better their shielding, and other capabilities. There weapon is effective, but other than that, we were easily able to defeat them. Looks like we'll find out.
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::heads for the nearest turbolift::

ACTION - Maiel's black eyes blink once slowly and he looks at Zee as if not believing her. His smile does not waver, but he seems almost...surprised..."No...I have not."

Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QFCO: ETA?
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: sits :: QCO: Personally, if we never encounter the Chelapha again, it will be too soon.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: I want you to look through the information on the Chelapha and develop appropriate tactical strategy.   They use subspace conduits with remarkable ability.
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::impatiently waits for a crewman to get out of the turbolift and out of his way before stepping in himself:: TL: Bridge.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
QCO: Present speed sir five hours.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::trims the pitch just a bit::
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::drums her fingers lightly on the console::

ACTION - The deck plating on both ships vibrates as they pass by a particularly nasty subspace rift. The Naftali's sensors attempt to scan the field as they pass by.

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
Maiel: Well than, that might be a good thing to do... ::Picks up a PADD containing the status report of the patient lying beside the girl with plasma burns.  She feels the Naftali jump to warp.::  Better talk with him soon though, seems we've entered warp...
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::brings the Q up sharply and swings her around to avoid the rifts::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO: I'm not real keen on insect races, but I'll check my xenophobia at the door. I'm sorry we made enemies of them. Remember there words...we are now "prey". meaning that will be adapting to what they learned of us.
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Feels the rattle, moves to check the internal stability of the ship::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::nods at the FCO::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::then brings the Q back on her original course::
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
Self: Attempting to compensate for subspace disturbance to Inertial Dampeners.
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the turbolift on the bridge and immediately approaches the captain's chair:: NCO: What's going on?
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: nods ::
NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
NCO: Should be challenging.  Hopefully the Quirinus will take most of the tactical abilities, leaving us to our scans
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
Self: Damn I wish I could sense those bloody things.
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::listens to the CO and XO speaking while he looks about the bridge, virtually ignoring Adrienne, and making that very obvious::
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
Self: Ah the joys of experimenting on an old, ailing vessel.

ACTION - A transmission comes in to the Naftali from Crossroads Station. Sensor data from the remote probe shows a power signal on the surface of Zeta Coyvan VII and over three dozen unstable EM fields in the atmosphere...

Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ahkileez: We are heading back to the Zeta Coyvan system.  There may be a new enemy in the area.  Necessary information has been sent to your console.
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::waits for a more thorough briefing than that, but once he sees it isn't forthcoming, heads to his station::
Host Praetor_Maiel says:
::He dark eyes watch Zee and he glances over at the young woman:: NCMO: Best keep her safe...::He gives a massive smile and walks out of sickbay::
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::relieves the duty helmsman and sits, removing the Bolian's inefficient helm layout and replaces it with his own::

ACTION - Sensors show three subspace instabilities up ahead. Both ship's auto-navigation compensates to avoid them.

QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
QFCO: Lieutenant, adjust course by .032 degrees in order to avoid the subspace wash and effects on our ID field.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Looks up from her PADD and returns the smile.  As the doors close behind him, her smile is gone, and she glances back to her PADD.::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ahkileez:  I suggest you set up the subspace echo on the ship.  Despite the fact we know where most of the tears are, I would prefer no surprises.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::shifts uneasily in his seat::
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::calls up his notes from 2 months ago, using the almost down time to review what happened to their former XO::
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks up:: QCO: Sir, there's a battle 2 light years up ahead between the Lilithine, Tzani and Ko'ra - ::sighs:: Looks like they're at it again.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning to science:: NSO: Analyze the information and see if you can determine the cause of these fields.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QCTO: Great
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QOPS: Hail the Naftali
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::smirks:: QCO: Say it like you mean it, sir.

ACTION - The Science Staff member nods to Sulek and begins working on the relevant data.

QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
Self: Oh hell.....::hands fly over the console inputting the battle scenarios and evasives and escape vectors::
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::as if he wasn't going to do that:: NCO: Aye Captain. ::installs a copy of Kraight's sensor echo system from his personal files and begins running it as a subroutine while using the ship's archaic systems to plot as safe a trip as possible through the minefield of anomalies::
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::gets an idea, and cross-references what happened to her with the last trip to sickbay Chandra took::
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: stands, leans slightly over the QCTO's shoulder to study the tactical display ::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Chandra*: We are heading into a particularly unstable area.  Zeta Coyvan VII shows high EM activity.  Have all shields and engines prepared for the effect.
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::shifts power to sensors to get better resolution on subspace tears in the ship's path::
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Begins transferring some excess coolant he found and in the process he discovers a possible leak::
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::the hairs on her neck raise slightly as she is aware of someone standing over her, but doesn't look up::
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
QCO: Sir attempting to get a better picture of what is in our path I think these tears are going to get thicker and more in our way.
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
*NCO*: Aye sir.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
Self: Oh s...... this is not good.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::irritated:: QOPS: What part of "Hail the Naftali" did you not get?
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::rolls the Q 20 degrees to the left and down .03 degrees and swings her around using the port thruster to avoid one of the tears::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QFCO: Do your best to avoid them
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Goes to battle stations down in Main Engineering::

ACTION - The U.S.S. Quirinus and U.S.S. Naftali continue along at warp in formation. Long range sensors show three Tzani ships fighting against one Lilithine capital ships and a swarm of moth-like Ko'ra fighters.

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Puts her PADD down, and moves back to the console at the rear of sickbay.:: Computer, show me all relevant data regarding Commander Viera...
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: returns to his own console and punches a couple of controls ::  QCO: Hailing the Naftali, sir.
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Just in case, making sure his staff is well prepared for what's coming::
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
NSO: I also want a probe prepared for each of the registered EM fields and for the planet to be released on our arrival.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
QCO: Sir that is an understatement........::brings her around again this time to starboard and down 10 degrees and uses port thrusters tot push her around the next tear::

ACTION - Lt. Commander Salina Viera's personnel file and medical records show up on the display. Much of the information is classified by Starfleet Security.

Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
<NOps> NCO: Hail from the Q.
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::hails the Naftali:: QCO: I apologize sir there were multiple issues before I got to it.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
NOps: On screen.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COM: Captain Sulek, Pangborn here. The natives are restless again
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
Computer, do I have the necessary clearance to de-classify any of these files?
Host Computer says:
NCMO: Affirmative.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Checking scans:: COM: Pangborn: So it would seem.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COM: Naftali: Sulek: Should we let them at it, or continue our mission?
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO, NCO: Sirs, I suggest giving the combatants a wide berth.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
CPU: Alright, declassify what you can, authorization Alexander 89 Delta Charlie.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
NOps: What is the current location of the  Yataghan ?
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::rules out any and all differences in the two scans, and analyses the apparent loss of consciousness in both patients, not wanting to interrupt the goings on over this yet::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
:: again brings the Q around and down by 30 degrees and to the starboard in a half roll to avoid another tear::  Self: The CEO is going to have my guts for garters if we don't get out of here soon.
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Monitoring the inertial dampeners. Planning the use of the FCO's guts for garters::

ACTION - The psychological evaluation of Lt. Commander Viera shows up on the display. The station's Counselor conducted several evaluations, deeming the former Captain unfit for duty. She spoke of visions, and knowledge of a coming war, and a massacre at the hands of the gods...

Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Kraight: I concur.  We will notify the Yataghan of the situation.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QFCO: Lay in a course that takes us away from the battle
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
COM: Sulek: We're going around them
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ahkileez: Match course with the Q.
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::logs into all medical databases he can, and uses the readings taken from both patients' unconsciousness as the terms for an extended search::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
QCO: Gladly sir.  ::inputs the secondary escape vector to take the Q around the battle area::
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
Computer, run a cross reference with Counselor Azhure's patient files key words visions, war, gods...
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
NOps: Notify the Yataghan of the outbreak.
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO: We can hardly afford to engage in a pointless battle and risk damage if we are expecting to encounter the Chelapha ahead.
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
NCO: Acknowledged. ::extrapolates the other ship's course and makes minute adjustments to Naftali's warp field to match it::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO: I agree
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::lifts an eyebrow, isolating the energy signature:: QXO: Commander, come take a look at this.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Pangborn: We have matched course to yours. Sulek, out.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::cuts the COM::

ACTION - Both ships continue on past the battle. The Lilithine ships and the Ko'ra lay waste to the Tzani vessels. The Yataghan is contacted and make their way to the battle site.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns :: CMO: Yes?
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QCTO: Any sign of the Chelapha on long range sensors yet?
NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
::Watches the battle on his screen::
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: examines the display in front of the CMO ::
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
QCO: Do you want me to continue to monitor the battle on long range sensors?
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Goes to check on the possible leak::
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::studies the sensors:: QCO: Not yet, sir.
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
QXO: Does this energy signature look relatively familiar to you, sir?

ACTION - In the Naftali Engine Room, Chief Chandra finds himself alone...the nearest officers a level above, working on a nearby energy condition. Off in the distance he hears a voice..."Chandra..."

Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QOPS: You can keep an eye on it if you like. We're not going to engage them.
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: considers the waveform carefully ::
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Looks for the source of the voice::
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
QCO: Aye, sir just want to make sure they don't come after us.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: I understand Kraight's logic in this situation.  The caution is warranted.  We also do not know how much impact the EM fields will have on the planet.  Time is of the essence.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QOPS: I think there all more interested in killing each other off

ACTION - The computer begins a cross reference with Counselor Azhure's files. Nothing of significant shows up - only a reference to Chief Royle Chandra.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCMO: It does look familiar... but I can't place it immediately. What do you believe it is?
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
Voice: Hello?
Host Voice says:
NCEO: Chandra...help...::The voice fades off in the distance, like a faint sound on the wind::
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::enters another command sequence, calling up the scans he took of the executioner, and displaying the two side by side::
NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
::Nods::  NCO: Right, right.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Sighs, wishing she could just ask Azhure for her help.  But that wasn’t possible now.  Taps the files, and opens the reference.:: CPU: Grant me access to this file, using my medical clearance...
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
Computer: Locate this source of that voice.
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCMO: The Executioner?
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Overhears:: QXO/QCMO: What did I hear?
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods:: QXO: This same signature was present in ensign Chandra after the explosion at Crossroads, and in the commander before she... well, left.
Host Computer says:
NCEO: Please restate request.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::doesn't believe what she just heard::
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCMO: This scan of Commander Azhure was taken just before she vanished?
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
QXO: It took me until now to isolate it.
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods to the QXO's question::
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
Computer: You didn't just hear a crewman call for help?

ACTION - The information brings up records of a vision Ensign Chandra had during the explosions on Crossroads Station. It discusses pain and death...and appears to be in reference to a Lilithine creation myth...

QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::swings the  Q around 45 degrees hard over to port to avoid another tear::
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: turns :: QCO: Sir, Doctor Jervase has made an important discovery.
Host Computer says:
NCEO: Negative.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
All: Sorry about that.  Just came out of no where.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO: Elaborate
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
Self: Stupid machine.

ACTION - The deck plating shakes and a PADD vibrates off of Doctor Alexander's desk and crashes to the ground. The bridge of the Naftali shakes underfoot...

NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
*Security*: I need a search team to engineering. I have a crewman requesting help and I can't locate them.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
Computer, what star system was the Karelian close to around the time Commander Viera had her first recorded visions....?
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCMO: Doctor? I think you have a better grasp of the implications just now.
Host Computer says:
NCMO: Zeta Coyvan.
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
Self: You would think that someone would map these things.
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods:: QCO: Captain, the same energy signature we identified as originating from the executioner was also present in both ensign Chandra and the commander when I scanned them.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::She looks to the sound of the shattered glass, and her heart skips a beat as the computer relays the answer to her question a half second later.  She reaches for her commbadge.:: *CEO* Ensign Chandra, this is doctor Alexander, do you have a moment?
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
QCO: The most recent scan of her was taken just before she vanished.
NFCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::eyes narrow as Naftali's track narrows through the pressing special anomalies, frowning that they should never have come back to this hellish place::
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO: It appears that the Executioner has returned.
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
*NCMO*: Doctor, I am a bit busy now I am looking for a injured crewman. Is it urgent?
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::cringes at the word Executioner::
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QCMO: I'm seriously hoping your wrong, but I'm sure you're not. Commander Azure had a connection with it - the executioner. This may well explain her absence. And believe me, if we run into the executioner, the Chelapha will be Very secondary
QCTO_LtJg_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
QCO: Sir, the Tzani vessels have been destroyed - there were at least 20 personnel on each ship.  The Lilithine are returning to their side of the border.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCEO* Yes.  I have reason to belief you may be in extreme danger...
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::groans:: QCTO: Lets just be glad we weren’t involved
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
QXO: Either returned, or never left. ::turns to the CO:: QCO: I don't think she's the only one with a connection to it.

ACTION - The Quirinus' port nacelle grazes dangerously close to a subspace tear. The ship rocks to the right and members of the crew stumble about.

Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QCMO: Oh? Who else?
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
*NCMO*: What would give you that idea?
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: grabs a chair back to steady himself ::
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Mumbles a curse, quickly goes to check the port nacelle stability and structural integrity::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
Outloud: Damn it ......::rolls the Q to the starboard to minimize the risk::
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nearly loses his balance as he calls up the scans he took of ensign Chandra after the explosion, and sends the comparison to the CO's console::
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
QCO: I think someone forgot tot put that one in the map.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QXO: Send the signature to engineering and have Voliar run a deck by deck sweep for it
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches as stars and anomalies stream by:: Self:  EM fields developing could indicate...Computer: Compare the information we received on the EM fields on Zeta Coyvan to other known fields.   Extrapolate differences and estimate the odds of three fields developing with such rapidity.
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCEO* Well, I hate to get into personal details over the comm, lets just say it's in regards to your visions and our current destination...
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
QCO: Suggest we contact captain Sulek, sir. If ensign Chandra is effected, they could be at risk.
Host Computer says:
NCO: Processing.
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
QCO: I agree. The Executioner could manifest itself on either ship.
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QCMO: Coordinate with OPS, and get the information on it to the Naftali
NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
NCO: Got something, Captain?
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
::Alarms start going off, some crewmen shout reports. Mumbles a curse. Starts sending out emergency teams to deal::
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
QCMO: Feed me the data I will secure transfer it to the Captain Sulek.
QCMO_Ens_Jervase says:
::nods:: QOPS: Commander, I need a priority one channel open to the Naftali's sickbay. As soon as you can get me one.
Host NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: It strikes me as an anomaly within an anomaly that such an occurrence could naturally happen.
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
*NCMO*: Very well, when security arrives I will report to sickbay.
QCEO_LtCmdr_Voliar says:
*Bridge*: Bridge, this is Voliar. We sustained damage with that last one. Port nacelle isn't doing too well. We can reach our destination, but no more warping after that .. I have to repair the nacelle first. Understood?
QFCO_Lt_A_Rochelle says:
::now decides it is time to let her senses take over and allows her mental abilities reach out throughout the ship::
NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCEO* Did you say security?  Is everything alright?
Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*QCEO*: Understood
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: gives the appropriate orders to Engineering regarding the sweep ::

ACTION - Several security officers arrive in Main Engineering aboard the Naftali. They begin checking around, but don't report anyone out of the ordinary...and the voice around Chandra has stopped...

Host QCO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
QFCO: You heard the man
NCEO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Walks into sickbay::
QOPS_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
QCMO: You have it...now. ::establishes link::

ACTION - The Zeta Coyvan system comes up on long range scans and Lieutenant Kostandinos-Michaels has a flashback to laying down in the grass with a small child stabbing her repeatedly...the memory fades suddenly and she lets out a gasp...
