Mission Summary:

Many of the major repairs to the Starbase have been completed, but it will be weeks before it is back to normal there.  Contact was made with the Cyanites after an angry burst of telepathic communication nearly incapacitated all telepaths on the Starbase and on the Scorpius.

The Cyanites are preparing to leave the area, however are waiting for promised help for future development of their young.  Commander Turnbull and his science teams have been working to discover a method of growing a suitable tissue to allow for the growth and development of the Cyanite young without the need for live hosts.

All: Please sit, if you aren't.

Host XO_Himura says:

::standing::
Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Himura-san, standing there just makes me nervous.  Please have a seat.

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: Aye.  ::finds a seat::

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok> Self:  Her vitals are holding good...   :: Nods his head. ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Takes a seat next to the CEO::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Well, here's the deal.  S'Toran has made initial contact with the Cyanites and has talked them into a face-to-face chat.  As captain of this ship, I feel that I should be in that meeting with him.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::looks at the CO quietly as the thinks about everything that her husband told her about the contact with the Cyanites::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: I wanted to get your opinions first.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO:  What exactly do we know about them?

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL:  I agree with Captain VanSickle's assessment.  he was also "over there" and knows what to expect.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moans slightly as she moves. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  We know they are...aquatic, although that phrasing is a stretch.  Really, not a lot else, other than that they communicate psionically.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  I'm not sure I do.  I understand the protocol of the situation, but is it wise to risk the Captain's life in a situation where it could be dangerous?

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok> :: Hears the moan, and looks at her. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: I think Starfleet would expect it of me to help broker this "truce."

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  I'm not certain this is that dangerous.  the Cyanites seem to have honorable intent.  I sense no duplicity from them, though I do grant that I am not the empath that Lt Anari is.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: But you were able to carry a conversation with them.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: Capt. Turnbull, what do you think?

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CEO: Typically, I would agree with you, the Captain should remain within the safety of the ship, however in this instance, he has had contact with the Cyanite's already.  He should be part of this.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Yes, Captain.  It was an interesting experience.  I found that communicating concepts was easier than words.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  I have another concern.  What if we lose contact with the AT while they are over there?  We cannot detect those ships if they decide to cloak.

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>:  :: Shaking his head... ::  Self:  I wish I could understand what is going on with her

MO_Pierce says:
::enters sickbay to begin his shift, looking like he'd rather be sleeping::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: S'Toran, do you think we should don EVA suits?

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>:  :: Looks up and sees MO Pierce walk in ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  As a hero of mine once said, "Risk is our business."

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: Captain, this is an urgent mission and of utmost importance to Starfleet and the quadrant in all.  It would be good to have the two of you working together on this.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  It would be wise.  We could wear the light duty version, since we will be in an aqueous environment, Captain.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: But with enough protection in case the Cyanite spiders want to infect us again.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
All: I do have one concern.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Yes, Russ?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns to look at her husband::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I am concerned about you sir, not just your safety but your mental health as of late.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses a type of calm from the Cyanites as she lays on the biobed. ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: You have been under a lot of stress.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  I think it will be, even if they desire it.  By now, they realize that our inoculants will render us non-infectable.  Also, in my short stay with them, I noted no spiders.  Only the tadpole-like creatures they referred to as the "young."

MO_Pierce says:
::approaches Anari::  Sopok:  How's she doing?  I see she's moving now.  Next thing you know, she'll want to dance.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: I understand what you're saying, Russ.  All: I know how you all think.  Lt. Ris'Mor had a talk with me a while ago.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I know how you think, and I know I have never seen you act in the way as you have here recently.

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok> :: Looks at Pierce. ::   Pierce:  She's in the same state. Her telepathic cortex is still reading at high levels, and she is still unconscious.  I'd love to find out what is going on in there.   :: Points to his own head. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir, I have factored your stress level into my logical analysis.  I do not believe you to be a risk to the mission or yourself, or I would not have been so quick to have agreed with you...respectfully, sir.

MO_Pierce says:
Sopok:  Still a waiting game, huh.  

MO_Pierce says:
::grabs a med tricorder and gives Anari a check scan::

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok> ::  Nods in the affirmative. ::   Pierce:  You're early aren't you?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: If it puts you at ease, for about an hour after meeting with Ris'Mor, I did a bit of yogic meditation and pranayama to settle my nerves.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CO: If you are concerned about your ability to continue with this mission, I would understand your sending someone in your place.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I will not object to you going but I do request that a medical officer go along.

MO_Pierce says:
Sopok:  Am I?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  What about Security?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
SC: I'm not concerned about how I'd do.  Just wanted to know your opinions about how to proceed with this.

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>  :: Raises an eyebrow... ::   Pierce:  Just a little

CSO_Turnbull says:
CIV:  Mister Horn, I respectfully submit that the party may be getting too large.  CEO:  As for security, I believe I am more than qualified for the task.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: I think that might show our mistrust.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CIV: From the size of those ships out there, I don't know that three officer's would fit.  They aren't much larger than a standard torpedo tube.

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok> Pierce:  If you are ready to take over, I'll leave you then.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: The maximum away team will be two, Cmdr. Turnbull and myself.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
SC: That is just my recommendation.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
SC:  And mine.  I still have reservations about this, with respect, Ma'am.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::nods toward the CO to show understanding or and acceptance of his thinking::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Anyone have suggestions as to approach these talks?

MO_Pierce says:
Sopok:  Sure thing.  Can I take a rain check on you're seeing what's in my head, say, after my shift. ::smiling::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: CIV/CEO: Understandable.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  I do, sir.  I believe we should approach it like we would approach any other negotiation with a new species.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: And that is...?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: I believe that the one concern is their reproduction.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  Agreed.  We need to treat this as a First Contact situation.

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>:  Pierce:  Are you having headaches?   :: Obvious he does not get the humor... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Only thing is this isn't First Contact.  The Apache made FC.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Moans again, and take in a deep breath of air. ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Granted, but the Apache didn't actually "talk" to them, did they?:

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION: The sensors on Anari's bio-bed alter slightly indicating that she is edging toward consciousness::

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>:  Pierce:  Looks like she could be waking.  I'll leave you now.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  We should present what we can help them with in clear and simple ideas, and attempt negotiation of their entrance into the Federation.  They do meet at least two of the criteria.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  first Contact or not, those protocols would be the best way to proceed.  The safest for all parties concerned, I think.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ALL:  From the reposts that I've read, no one on the Apache actually spoke with them, however, other members of their crew were aboard at least one of the Cyanite ships.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: We must remember that they are holding all the cards at the moment.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Fair enough.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  If we can find out what they need for their reproduction, we might be able to synthesize something for them.

OPS-Anari says:
<Sopok>:  :: Gives Anari's chart to Pierce and walks out of sickbay. ::

MO_Pierce says:
Sopok:  Obee-Kaybee  ::goes back to observing Anari::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: I think we might hold a few aces up our sleeves.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes in another deep breath and swallows hard. ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: You must remember that when they cloak or phase or whatever it is we can do nothing to track them.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Begins to open her eyes... ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CEO:  I believe I have found at least most of that solution.  We need to construct or have them construct tissue tanks, and grow a tissue that I have complied by examination of the breeding cycle and tissues of hosts concerned.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CIV: It was my understanding that they have begun preparations to leave the area since the mutagen was reversed and the Starbase crew back to normal.

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL:  Lieutenant Ris'Mor was instrumental in helping my thinking.

MO_Pierce says:
OPS:  Come on, come back to the land of the living

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  Wher...where I am?   :: Licks her lips. ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Blinks her eyes hard as they begin to adjust. ::

MO_Pierce says:
::gives her a hypo to gently assist her return to consciousness::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
ALL: They are clearly more advanced, and it seems they are concerned with one thing right now.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: So, we should see what their food and reproduction needs are.  Anything else we should find out?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes in another deep breath. ::  Pierce:  I'm...in...in sickbay again?

CSO_Turnbull says:
CIV:  Indeed.  They seem fixated on their own life cycle.

MO_Pierce says:
OPS:  You're in sickbay, Lieutenant

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  What happened?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: After we do that then see where they would like to go with talks.

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  They are waiting...

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  If they actually want contact.  Have we even considered that?

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ACTION: As Anari comes too, she notices the absence of psionic contact with those around her.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks directly at Pierce. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  As I said, I believe I have determined that information and at least most of a solution.

MO_Pierce says:
OPS:  You passed out on the bridge, and have been unconscious ever since

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: Agreed, we should help with the one problem at this moment then if they wish to go home we let them leave.

CSO_Turnbull says:
ALL:  The very reasons you suggest are the reasons we need to treat this as a First Contact situation.  

MO_Pierce says:
OPS:  Hold steady.  ::raises her eyelids looks at her eyes::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Anyone else have a question?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Does as she is told ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
All:  Agreed.  We need to be cautious.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  I have another suggestion, sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Yes?

MO_Pierce says:
OPS:  How do you feel?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Feels funny... ::   Pierce:  I feel...

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  I feel weird.   :: Looks to Pierce concerned. ::

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  I can't feel you...

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Sir, I suggest that you and I meld temporarily to set up a temporary mind link.  It would facilitate communication between all the parties.

MO_Pierce says:
OPS:  Weird, huh?  I'll have to add that to the medical database

MO_Pierce says:
OPS:  What do you mean, you can't 'feel' me?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Closes her eyes a moment and tries to reach out... ::   Pierce:  I can't feel you...   :: Says, panic rising in her voice. ::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ALL: From what S'Toran has told me and from the reports that I've read, First Contact protocols should be used.  Also, I think you should stick initially to what they have agreed to.  If you press them, there is no way to tell what will happen, or how they will react.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: OK.  Let's get to it.  Everyone else: Unless you all have something to add, take your stations.

Host XO_Himura says:
::heads to the bridge::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Opens her eyes looking directly at Pierce. ::   Pierce:  I can't feel you...or...or anyone else.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets up::

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Aye, sir.  ::stands and mentally prepares for the most superficial of melds::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CO: Permission to go to sickbay to check on Anari.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Eyes widen, panic is setting in. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Granted.

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  Doc...what's happened?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Stands to leave::

MO_Pierce says:
::scans OPS again and looks at the medical monitor screen::  OPS:  You're telepathic cortex has been in a state of over stimulation while you were out.  It seems to have shut down for now.  Try to relax.

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  How long will it last?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Tries to calm herself... ::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: You headed to ME?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  I am.  We still got repairs to complete.

MO_Pierce says:
OPS:  I don't know, but I believe it should return eventually.  ::looking over a datapadd::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::waits patiently while the rest of the crew leaves::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: I will be down shortly I have a couple of Ideas.

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  Eventually?  So you don't really know if it'll ever return?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks with piercing, panic-stricken eyes. ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  See you down there.  ::smiles at him as she turns to leave the RR::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: So, have you arranged a time for the meeting?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Follows the CEO::

Host XO_Himura says:
::keeps the center chair on the bridge warm::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
ALL:  I'll be in my office on the Starbase, I need to see firsthand how the repairs are proceeding.  

OPS-Anari says:
:: Swallows hard, trying to accept this situation. ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the TL:: Computer:  Main Engineering.

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  I have not.  I felt you should be the one to decide on a course of action.  I can contact them at any time.  I expect they are simply waiting for me.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Steps on with the CEO::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::nods to his wife as she exits::

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
~~~~CSO: Be careful, T'H'yla.~~~~

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: When this is over we need some time.

Host SC_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::returns S'Toran's nod and heads out::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Well, after we're done, contact them and see if five minutes after we're done is OK?

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~SC:  Always, my love.  You worry too much.~~~~

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Indeed.  We never seem to have time together, do we?

MO-Pierce says:
*CO*:  Captain, Anari has regained consciousness

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Of course, Captain.

Host XO_Himura says:
::keeps her mind occupied by seeing how complicated a math problem has to get before she can't do it in her head::

OPS-Anari says:
Self:  He doesn't know if it will return....

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*MO*: Acknowledged, Hawkeye!  Lt. Cmdr. Horn is on his way there.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::is relieved to hear Anari is all right::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: I see you everyday, I talk to you every day but I miss actually being alone with you.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::gets mentally ready::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Tries to sit up. ::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  As do I.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Whenever you're ready, S'Toran.

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  Your telepathy should return in a day or two

CSO_Turnbull says:
::finds katra points on CO's face::  CO:  My mind to yours....

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce: Are you sure?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::closes eyes::

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  I can't feel anyone...ANYONE.  Do you have any idea what that's like?

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  I've been so busy I haven't even had time to congratulate you on your promotion, yet ::grins at him::

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  I won't lie to you, Lieutenant.  Telepathy isn’t an exact science, sometimes.  It's an estimate, but we can't be certain of anything.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::begins the chant::  I am S'Toran...you are Eric...Our minds together...

Host Cyanite says:
ACTION: Sensors once more detect movement from the 'fleet' of Cyanite ships as they once more begin their preparations for departure.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: I haven’t had time to notice myself.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Our minds are together.

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  But I believe it will return.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: One more step up the ladder.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Takes a deep breath. ::   Pierce:  I'm sorry, doctor.  I don't mean to be cynical.  I hope you're right.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Just don't catch me! ::grins broadly::

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~CO:  We are S'Toran/Eric.  I will place a temporary bond here so that we will not need to remain in physical contact.~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
:: Has managed to sit up. ::   Pierce:  How long do I have to stay here?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
~~~CSO: How long will this last?~~~

Host XO_Himura says:
<SO_RandomDude> XO: Sir, the Cyanite fleet seems to be preparing to depart.

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  It's okay to be a little scared.  I remember when I was without the use of my eyes for a few days.

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: I caught you a long time ago. ::Grins back::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Oh yes, so you did ...

Host XO_Himura says:
SO: Are they supposed to do that?

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  What's the last thing you remember?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Tries to give a small smile to Pierce, but can only manage a slight nod. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
::opens his eyes::  CO:  Captain, we are complete here.  ~~~~CO:  We will need to meld again after we finish to break the connection.  It is a painless and simple thing.~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
:: Thinks... ::  Pierce:  I was receiving information...

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  It was too fast...too much.  I tried to get them to slow down

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: ::verbally:: Oh.  ::mentally:: ~~~Best contact our friends.~~~

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~All: Where are you?  Our people are ready to return  home.~~~

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  Is that when you blacked out?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks to Pierce wide-eyed... ::   Pierce:  I don't know.

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  I do know they are waiting

Host XO_Himura says:
<SO_RandomDude> XO: Um, er...

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  They are calmer now, and they are waiting.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::breaks contact carefully::  ~~~~CO:  No need, I think they are calling us.  Can you hear it?~~~~  ::strains a bit to keep Eric from being overwhelmed by the psionic pressure::

Host XO_Himura says:
SO: I'm going to notify Captain VanSickle...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears the Cyanites:: ~~~Cyanites: This is Capt. Eric VanSickle.  Cmdr. Turnbull and I will be there shortly.

Host XO_Himura says:
::heads to the RR, chimes::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: We are having dinner together tonight. That is an order. ::Grins::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
~~~CSO: Heard and responded.  Let's get to the TR to suit up.~~~

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins:: CIV:  You're giving me an order, Lt Cmdr?

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  Oh yeah.  I've been briefed.  ::visually inspects his pants::  Yep.

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~CYAN:  We are here, my friends.  ::sends friendship feelings:: If you agree, we can be ready in 10 of our minutes.~~~~

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Grins even bigger:: CEO: That is correct Cmdr.

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~ALL: We are ready.  We will bring you here.~~~~

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  Aside from your telepathy, how else do you feel?

CSO_Turnbull says:
CO:  Aye, sir.  ::proceeds in lockstep with the CO to get prepared::

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: CIV:  Yes, Sir! ::feels the lift stop::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Gives Pierce a funny look... ::  Pierce:  You've been briefed?  What were you told?

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
::Sighs at the stooping of the TL::

~~~Cyanites: We need to prepare ourselves.~~~

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  Fine.  I feel fine.   :: Says a little too harshly. ::

CSO_Turnbull says:
~~~~CYAN:  Excellent.  My Captain will be coming with me.  ::sends rank concept::  I will signal you shortly.~~~~

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  Just about those things out there.  You said they're waiting to leave.  I think the bridge crew is trying something.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::starts walking out of the RR:: XO: Make sure there is a constant lock on Cmdr. Turnbull and me.

Host XO_Himura says:
CO: Sir?  Sir?  Just wanted to let you know the Cyanites seem to be getting impatient.  ::heads back to her chair::

Host Cyanite says:
~~~~ALL: We understand, we will wait~~~~

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  The last thing I remember is feeling they want to leave.  There are no more of their young.  They want to leave.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::nods to the XO::  XO:  Good luck to us all, sir.

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  But they are waiting.

Host XO_Himura says:
CSO: Yeah.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Looks down feeling her loss and tries not to look sad. ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::enters TL w/ CSO:: Computer: Deck 2.

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  How much longer do I need to be here?

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  Let's try to focus on what you CAN do for now.

CSO_Turnbull says:
::in lockstep with the CO::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
CEO: AQilla....

OPS-Anari says:
Pierce:  I'd like to get back to work.

CEO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at him::

MO-Pierce says:
OPS:  I'll have to check a couple more things, and if everything's cool, I don't see why not.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::gets off TL at deck two and heads for the EVA lockers::

CIV_Russ_Horn says:
