Summary - The crews of the U.S.S. Naftali and the U.S.S. Quirinus have been reunited, in more ways then once. In orbit of Xhiv III, both vessels hang in the void of space. Down on the surface a team from the Quirinus and members of the Naftali staff work together, overseeing the construction of a temporary research facility on the surface.

An archeological project headed up by Doctor Jaysari and overseen by the Federation Science Committee has been studying Xhiv III for some time...and believe it to be an outpost of the now defunct Xherivhan civilization...but more interestingly, Commander Azhure, a former crewmate has been discovered on the surface...

What secrets does Xhiv possess? Will the Savior know?

::bridge, Naftali, waiting for report on Azhure::

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Sitting by Azhure::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@:: looking over the construction plans in Jaysari's temporary HQ ::

NCEO_Chandra says:
@::On the surface rechecking some gear::

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::examining the tricorder readings, seeing if there is any more information about the cannibalistic animals::

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
@ ::wandering the halls of USS Naftali, still feeling slightly disoriented from the additional presence in his mind::

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@::Doctor Jaysari enters the temporary shelter with a tray in her hands. On it can be seen a set of ceramic cups and a pot. She places it on the ground in front of the team and sits down. Without hesitation she begins to pour a brown liquid into the various cups::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Hello, Doctor. That looks like tea of some sort.

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::maintaining the geosynchronous orbit with the away team on the surface::

ACTION - Lieutenant Ahkileez's comm badge beeps. A junior officer requests his presence in Transporter Room II.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::staring at the data the research team has already managed to put together, 
cross-referencing what he can with his data on Quirinus::

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Runs a scan to see if the hypo she gave Azhure is being effective.::

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::annoyed, throws one hand in the air in frustration:: Self: Let 'em eat each other, they'll be one less thing we have to worry about

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: In sickbay, definitely confused but with a touch of humor.::  NCMO:  Will I live?

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::looks up from his research and over at Adrienne at her outburst, and just shakes his head:: DR: Doctor, a minute if you wouldn't mind?
 
Doctor_Jaysari says:
@CSO: Indeed it is. It is made from foliage uncovered several kilometers from the dig site...::As she finishes pouring the glasses she holds them out for the various team members:: Would you all care to see the rest of our excavation?

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: glances over at Kostandinos-Michaels :: QCTO: Are our unwelcome visitors still out there?

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::answers the com and turns around, taking a side corridor toward the turbolifts to descend to transporter room 3::

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
NCNS: Yes... after I inject you with an agent to aid your bodies coagulation.  ::starts looking through her scans, and looks over her console at Azhure.:: So... what happened to you counselor?

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@QXO: Still out there, still eating each other, still won't come near us, and I still don't have the slightest idea why...

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@CMO: Yes...Lieutenant? ::She squints, trying to make out the officer's pips::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Glances at Bill who has basically said nothing to her since arriving.::

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::adjusts the pitch 2 degrees negative:

ACTION - The U.S.S. Ara begins to beam down scanners, while staff aboard the Quirinus begin transferring supplies to the research camp.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: A blank look comes to her face.:: NCMO: Happened?

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::nods, confirming what she seems unsure of, and extends his PADD to her:: DR: Most of the information I have from the originating system seems to almost be a contrast to your own theories. You... wouldn't happen to have a resident linguist would you?

ACTION - A few flashes of memory pass through Azhure's mind...the mountains of Hais, Ensign Hixxan's blood on a corridor wall and a dead Starfleet Intelligence Officer from Lilitha...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: accepts the tea, with thanks :: Jaysari: Yes, Doctor, by all means. I am anxious to see what you have discovered.

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Finds the deficient clotting factor and quickly synthesizes it.  She loads it into the hypo and gives Azhure a funny look.:: CNS: You don't remember?  

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@::She shakes her head and sips her tea slowly:: CMO: Unfortunately not yet, Lieutenant. The Ara is supposed to have one of Starfleet’s best aboard...however she has not yet arrived...

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::takes a sip and desperately tries not to make a face::

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@XO: Commander, I'd like permission to pursue a working theory while the team examines the facility. ::doesn't actually accept the tea yet::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: reacts to the taste of the tea... coughs slightly, and quietly puts the cup down ::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: slowly:: NCMO: I remember Hais... one of my counselors... Hixxan.  :: Her eyes narrow:: Lilitha...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@QCMO: Of course, Doctor. Keep me apprised of anything you learn.

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@::Drowning back the last of her drink the doctor stands and she quickly heads out of the tent and into the sandstorm...not waiting for Kraight or his companions to follow::

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::She draws near and injects the counselor upper arm with the hypo.  She notices Azhure's expression change::  Something wrong?

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@DR: Well, granted this isn't exactly my field of expertise... ::gestures to the PADD:: but the languages used seem almost... entirely different... ::trails off as she just leaves, and decides to do a little scouting::

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::after exiting the turbolift, makes his way to the transporter room, stepping through the hissing doors::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: hurries after Jaysari ::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
NCMO: While I might not think so, obviously there is.

NCEO_Chandra says:
@NXO: Sir, the emitter are nearly online. :: Watches as his crew go about their work::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks at Bill:: NXO: How long was I gone?

ACTION - Soriq Ahkileez steps into the Transporter Room to see several technicians preparing to beam down some supplies to the surface. Someone hands him a bag and PADD. "Your presence has been requested on the surface, sir..."

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::follows the rest of the team out of the tent::

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS:  A long time... months... :: thinks ::  Maybe eight or nine in total.  You really don't realize you were gone that long?

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moving to sci one, he scans the surface of the planet to see how the progress on the research facility is going::

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Isn't sure what to say, not wanting to shock the counselor.  She hopes that Powers will break the reality to her...  Zee steps back and begins a new scan to see if the therapy is effective.::

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::taps his badge while he does his snoop work:: *Quirinus*: Jervase to Quirinus. I need direct access to the linguistics database. Establish a high priority connection with my tricorder.

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::trims the pitch and brings the nose up by 3 degrees port and the Q straightens out::

ACTION - Jaysari heads off through the rough, dry terrain and moves over to where a ditch seems to have been cut out of the reddish soil. She motions for the team to head down into the ditch...

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: Self: What do they need a schizophrenic pilot for? ::takes the bag and stands on the transporter pad with the rest of the supplies::

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@ALL: All I ask is that you touch nothing...

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::sees the connection established, and he runs the query through the database while he takes a look around the immediate area, waiting for the storm to clear before doing his own, expanded search::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: half-walks, half-slides into the ditch ::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks from Bill to the doctor and back again.:: NXO: That is not possible...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Jaysari: Understood, Doctor.

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: I'd almost... ::trails off::

ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light the transporters lock onto Ahkileez. A flood of memories seem to flash over him and time seems to stop for him. Voices flood through his mind...old memories, an argument...

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
NXO: What?

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::lets the search run while he looks for any sign of a console or computer terminal he can put to some use::

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Looks down, embarrassed ::  CNS: For a while, I believed you had just... gone somewhere else.  Like when we went to Hais.  But after time went on.... I thought maybe you were gone.

ACTION - Dust flies up into the air as the Quirinus team shuffles down into the ditch and they find that it leads into a low hanging cavern entrance. As they move inside the team notices their path illuminated by Starfleet issue lights...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: follows Jaysari into the cavern ::

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Looks down at her screen feeling a bit awkward.::

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::looking around from one end of the cavern to the other, feeling an odd sense that she's been there before::

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::steps up to the nearest console, and goes about getting into the unit... raises his eyebrows::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Jaysari: I'm very impressed with the amount you have accomplished in your time here, Doctor.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Reaches a hand for his.::  NXO: You would know... I would somehow let you know, if I was in or caught between time... If I could...

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@CSO: While I wish I could take the credit...much of this cavern is natural formation...we discovered it underneath the ritual site...

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@*XO*: Jervase to commander Kraight...

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Takes a deep breath:: NXO/NCMO: There is nothing for it at the moment.  Can someone please fill me in to what is going on now?

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::checks the coordinates and the orbit and sees that it is still correct::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: Go ahead, Doctor.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@*QXO*: Commander, I've definitely found something. Research done by the crew of USS Karelian.

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Alexander* Report.  How is Commander Azhure?

ACTION - The voices in Ahkileez's mind are impossible to understand and in the transporter light he could swear he almost sees the face of a young child. The image fades and is slowly replaced by the barren surface of Xhiv III...

NCEO_Chandra says:
@::Looks at the work ahead:: Self: Several months of work here I would think, quite an undertaking.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: How does their research relate to our situation?

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Snaps the top of her tricorder closed and clears her throat.:: CNS: Well the good news is the therapy has succeeded in restoring your bodies glycoprotein protofactors.  You shouldn’t have any more coagulation problems.  And I'm not detecting any further anomalies.  ::Looks to Powers to help with the counselor's other question.::

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS/NCMO: Hm, where to begin....

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@*QXO*: It seems captain Viera had an interest in Xherivhan artifacts. It looks like some kind of... off sort of translation matrix.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Slips off the biobed:: NXO/NCMO: A more comfortable setting please?

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::shakes his head from the lingering vision and looks around the surface of the planet::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: Can it be applied to any of the artifacts here on Xhiv?

ACTION - Jaysari leads the group down into a large open cavern, almost identical to the chamber found underneath Zeta Coyvan VI. "Isn't it marvelous?" she asks with excitement.

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: The short story is that the peace process failed.  The Lilithine eventually invaded the Noori homeworld, and Starfleet was forced to abandon Crossroads due to border concerns.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: looks around, startled :: Jaysari: Indeed. And also... familiar.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@*QXO*: I'm trying now, commander. ::is running a query through the system based on his current information now, the same query he's running through the Quirinus database:: I'm running a similar search through our own database. Call it a hunch.

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@CSO: Familiar...?

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Nods her head slowly:: NXO: And the Executioner?

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: Keep at it, Doctor. Kraight out.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Jaysari: Yes. we found a similar cavern on Zeta Coyvan VI. Are there large artifacts here that seem to be generating power?

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
CNS/NXO: There's always my office...  excuse me for just a moment.  ::Steps back and badge taps.:: *NCO* Alexander to Captain Sulek...

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Unknown.  Hasn't been heard from since you left... however, there is another part to the story.  When the Executioner appears, a being known as the Saviour also appears... we came upon... her?  it?  on a planet many months ago, and it's inhabited the body of Lieutenant Ahkileez.

ACTION - A broadcast over subspace is fed to the U.S.S. Quirinus from the Federation News Service. News of the recent signing of the Amenti Ward into the United Federation of Planets is the top story of the day...

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Alexander* Sulek here.  How is your patient?

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Enters the doctors office and takes a seat.::

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: following the Counselor ::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Frowns:: Saviour?

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
Self: Holy Hanna they did it. Finally but there are going to be repercussions from it.
 
Doctor_Jaysari says:
@::The Doctor shakes her head and glances down farther into the corridor:: We have discovered a possible artifact, however it is partially submerged under a land slide...

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: nods ::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
 @ Jaysari: May we see it, please?

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
NXO: There is something familiar about that... and yet not...

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCO* Good sir.  In fact Counselor Azhure has made a full recovery...  ::Waits until Powers and Azhure are just out of earshot.:: physically anyway.  Commander Azhure seems to have no memory of the last few months or her disappearance.

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@::She nods and glances over at Chandra, Kraight and Kostandinos and nods once:: CSO: Of course...::She leads the way through the cavern::

NCEO_Chandra says:
@Jaysari: Will removal be possible and how difficult will it be?

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: unholsters his tricorder and follows Jaysari ::
 
NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Alexander* Then she has been apprised of being declared missing?

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ NCEO: We never completed a full analysis of the artifact on Zeta Coyvan VI. Removal may not be wise.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::raises an eyebrow, beginning to read what's been found, and downloading it to his tricorder::

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Familiar how?

NCEO_Chandra says:
@QXO: But the benefits may be worth the risk sir.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
NXO: I do not know... :: A brief frown of frustration passes across her face.::  I am getting the impression that is going to be my catch phrase for awhile.

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCO* Yes sir.  Commander Powers is now explaining to her everything she's missed since she's been gone.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ NCEO: Perhaps. Further analysis is called for.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::shakes his head:: *QXO*: Commander, I've discovered something. Possibly directly related?

ACTION - The surface of Xhiv III is filled with Starfleet officers from the Ara, Naftali and Quirinus. The same junior officer from the Naftali moves over to Ahkileez and smiles to him...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: Go ahead, Doctor.

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Alexander* Understood.  Have you taken any synaptic scans to see if you can discover the cause of her lack of memory.  Perhaps there is residual evidence that will show if she has been in a suspended form a mental activity.

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@<CPO Xen> FCO: Sir...I've been asked to escort you to Doctor Jaysari's location...she is eager to meet you.

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
@ JrOfficer: Who called me down here and what do they need?

NCEO_Chandra says:
@QXO: I agree sir.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@*QXO*: I've uncovered... what looks like a script of some sort. I can't translate all of it yet, but it talks of a sacrifice, of being forced to leave an original world.. ::pauses:: perhaps a world in the Xherivhan system.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Reaches for his hand.::  NXO: I am sorry...
 
ACTION - In the shadows of the cave, Adrienne can almost swear she can see the same primates from Zeta Coyvan, lurking in the shadows...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: Can you determine who was forced to leave, and why?

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: It's... a lot to take in.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::continues to read, shaking his head, unseen:: *QXO*: It doesn't mention specifics... maybe if I can get the rest of it translated. The Ara's supposed to be carrying a linguist aboard. Perhaps have them sent to my location?
 
ACTION - Kraight, Kostandinos-Michaels, Chandra and their guide make it up to the artifact. The curve of some sort of sphere can be seen under heavy rubble. It looks as if a cave in centuries ago has buried much of the sphere.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
NXO: I do not even know where to begin or what to say.

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCO* There is one thing sir... ::Looks over her shoulder at Azhure through the windows, seeing her seated in her office.::  ...the only other anomaly I detected is that Commander Azhure hasn't aged a day since the time Jervase scanned her just before she disappeared.  So in a sense, yes, I would say she has been suspended from time somehow...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: Contact the Ara and make the arrangements, Doctor. Kraight out.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: scans the object before him ::

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: You really had no concept of passage of time?  Where... where did you go?

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
::checks her coordinates again and sees that the Q has drifted 4 points starboard and she sets about bringing the Q back to her original course by firing the starboard thruster to push the Q back to her port coordinates and realigns the orbit::

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@CSO/CTO/CEO: We uncovered it several weeks ago...but have not had a chance to analyze it further...

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::nods, and comms the Ara:: *Ara*: Jervase to the USS Ara. I'm told you have a linguist aboard. I may have a puzzle for the solving.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Leans back against the couch, looking up at the ceiling::  NXO: Somewhere... somewhere... but I... can't seem to wrap my mind around where.  But there was a price.

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: ... a price?

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
#<Ara OPS> *QCMO*: This is the Ara...yes, Lieutenant...Doctor Sid is currently preparing for transport down to the surface...

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::ponders this, knowing that Azhure is acutely aware of time shifts:: *Alexander*: run a comparative analysis of her scans now with your most recent on file.  See if there are any anomalies that may not be as readily apparent as noting no aging.
 
QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: thinking aloud :: All: It's physically identical to the object we found on Zeta Coyvan VI, but it is inert. No energy generation of any sort. It may be depleted.

NCEO_Chandra says:
@CSO: Perhaps we could transport some of the debris away safely.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: distantly:: NXO: I won... and I lost...

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Lost?  Lost...?

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@CEO: No! ::She steps between them and the sphere::

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::nods, closing the channel and calling up Viera's translation matrix... he may as well see how far the lunatic got with it::

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCO* I sir.... it will just take a moment for computers to prime.  ::Brings up the two sets of bio scans, the one she just took, with the one from Jervase's files, and runs a complete comparison for any differences.::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Jaysari: I do not understand your objection, Doctor. Is yours not an archaeological expedition?

NCEO_Chandra says:
@Jaysari: Don't you want to find out what that thing is?

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::follows the junior officer through the rippling landscape downward, drawing closer to the overheard voices;:

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: As she pushes the memory to explain, pain quickly builds in her mind until it is all that she can 'see'.::

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::establishes a link with the console and his tricorder, essentially linking it to the Quirinus database in an attempt to fill in the not quite there patches::

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@QXO: If you just begin beaming away parts of our site you will ruin the context. We can't begin to understand what happened here if you don't let us first analyze it...all...

ACTION - Darkness closes around Ahkileez's vision and the view in the cave seems hazy, as if his eyes were blocked by some unseen fog. The sphere in the distance seems to glow with some low, deep, blue flame...

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCO* Comparison complete sir.  The only difference detected is that the energy signature Jervase detected before she vanished is gone.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Jaysari: You are quite correct, of course, Doctor.    NCEO: Provide Doctor Jaysari with any assistance she requires, but take no action to excavate this site or any other without her explicit approval.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: After a moment, she slumps down, her mind escaping the pain.::

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::walks along without hesitation, unmindful of the floor or walls::
 
Doctor_Jaysari says:
@QXO: Thank you, Commander...::She pulls out a PADD and increases the priority of this 'sphere':: If I may ask...what was the purpose of the artifact at your other site?

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Jaysari: It appeared to be a power generator of some kind.

NCEO_Chandra says:
@QXO: Aye sir.

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Alexander* Give me a moment.  ::draws up the energy signature and then runs comparison for any energy signature that was detected just before or after Azhure's reappearance on the planet.::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ Jaysari: Have you observed any animal life in these caverns, Doctor?

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@QXO: Fascinating...::She smiles and looks over towards Chandra:: Well then, lets set up a plan to get you access to this...generator...

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Half frowns, wondering if she's okay ::  CNS: ... Commander?

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@QXO: Animal life...? No...sorry...

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::his eyes narrow ever so slightly, and he calls up the supposed revival, in an attempt to see what all is involved... or, at least, why this place::

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::eyes wide in the dark, following the compulsion to check out the light::
 
ACTION - As Akhileez approaches the blue glow shifts to a forest green and then a deep purple...the Savior's voice can be heard in the back of his mind. "Ah yes...the second point...excellent."

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCO* Standing-by sir.  ::Looks down from the windows and down to her medical screens, wondering if the captain has doubts this is the real Azhure...::

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Reaches over and grabs her shoulder, shaking lightly, waiting before calling the doctor in ::

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
@ ::whispers to himself:: Self: Second point? What second point?

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: The pain receding, her eyes slowly open, confused.::

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@*QXO*: Commander, I have something.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: You've been very busy, Doctor. What is it?

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@<Savior> FCO: You wish to bring about the end of the Executioner and free yourself from me...in order to do that we must awaken more of our brethren, so that we may take down the fallen spirit. You must awaken the second...

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
COM: USS Quirinus: NCO Capt Sulek: This is QFCO sir just saw the news flash and the treaty has been signed.

ACTION - Lieutenant Kostandinos' comm badge beeps and the sound of yelling can be heard over the comm. She can barely make out that there was an attack by one of the native creatures...

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Thought I lost you again there.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: In a whisper:: NXO: I... was not here?  I vanished?

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@*QXO*: This planet is a second revival point, commander. Best guess, this place is used in the same sense as that which awakened the executioner.

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Rochelle: Treaty?

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Mentally, perhaps

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::forces himself to stop in his track:: Self: Awaken, like you? And do what, have another g inside my skull?

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: Do we know yet _what_ will be awakened?

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Sits up, a headache her companion.::  NXO: My head hurts.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@*QXO*: No, sir. But if it's anything like the executioner I'd recommend strongly you not be there if and when it is.

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
COM: Capt Sulek: Yes sir they have just signed the treaty and have become a member of the UFP.

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@<Savior> Akhileez: Would you rather have that little spitrz kill another of your comrades?

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *QCMO*: Continue your researches, please, Doctor. It seems you are on the trail of something important.

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::gets this strange feeling his XO is not going to take that as a hint to leave, and goes back to seeing what he can find::

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::opens up the news net and watches the short broadcast clip:: Com Rochelle: Good news indeed, Lt.

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::snorts:: Savior: All of that time inside my head and you still don't know the answer to that?

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
COM: Capt Sulek would you mind telling the XO of the Q the same news please?

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Do you need or want something?  Medications?  Something less scientific?

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sees that no signature was detected by the Naftali:: *Alexander* I am sorry for the delay, I was looking to see if any similar energy signature had been detected by scans just before or after the Commander's return.

 Doctor_Jaysari says:
@<Savior> Ahkileez: Months are but single grains of sand in the calculation of time. Be patient...awaken the other...

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Rochelle: Understood.  I will relay.

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
*NCO* It's fine sir.  Did you find anything interesting?

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::mutters about being as crazy as his mad uncle and proceeds toward the light::

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Sulek to Kraight:  XO I have just been informed the UFP treaty for the new member was signed.  FCO Rochelle wanted you to know.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Smiles:: NXO: All of the above, but at the top of my list, just to lie down for awhile with you.

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: I believe the doctor would be willing to prescribe some rest.

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@QXO: Apparently the animals have decided to breach the perimeter of the settlement after all - one of them just attacked the outpost

 NCO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Alexander* Nothing on scans.  If it was there, we did not detect it.  Still, an energy signature would indicate an external factor in her disappearance.

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ *NCO*: Thank you, Captain. We have learned that Dr. Jaysari has discovered a power unit similar to what we found on Zeta Coyvan VI. She and her team are excavating it at present.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
NXO: Can you get away?  What is happening now?

QFCO_Lt_B_Rochelle says:
:: things haven't changed much since her last check::

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ QCTO: Any casualties?

QCMO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::He continues his research, trying to find some kind of a likely candidate for this revival, with the thought that it may be a bit more than just a loved one required::

LtJG_Soriq_Ahkileez says:
::stops just short of the light, fear creeping up his spine to displace the anger and resentment at his being used:: Savior: Do it...

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@QXO: It's hard to say, I can barely make out the report over all the background noise - but it doesn't sound too pretty

NXO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: I... I don't know.  I can ask the Captain.

QCTO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@QXO: There's three wounded, and two creatures going through the camp, so that number is bound to go up

NCMO_Ens_Alexander says:
::Looks up and feels a slight pang in her heart she sees Azhure and Powers interact.  How she longed to be thought of like that... she sighs and continues working.:: *CO* Aye sir, I'll keep your appraised of any changes.  Alexander out.

ACTION - Soriq Ahkileez appears drawn to the buried sphere and reaches out, placing his hands on it. Doctor Jaysari lets out a scream and goes to pull him awake. The Vulcan uses his increased strength to knock her away, smacking her across the face and down to the ground. The purple glow fades away and Ahkileez hears a third whispering voice...

QXO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ QCTO: Have any security personnel you need beamed down from the Q, and get the creatures out of the camp.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
NXO: I would understand either way...
