Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
Two toddlers with the uncanny ability to lead the crew of the Scorpius on a wild goose chase across all decks were "playing" with the CTO in forward torpedo control.

Host Gerry says:
Cardassians, mistakenly under the impression that the Scorpius is responsible for the destruction of their comrades are diving toward the Scorpius, weapons hot.

Host Gerry says:
Strangely, the Scorpius weaponry is operating at about 250% efficiency and power.

Host Gerry says:
These two tots seem to have turned the Scorpius into their...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Sir, those so called toddlers have just vanished from our arms as we were approaching the brig.

CSO-Elbran says:
*CO*: Captain, I've been cleared from sickbay. Your orders?

CIV_Serok says:
:: heads to the nearest turbolift ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::heads for the nearest turbolift::

CO_VanSickle says:
*CSO*: Help Cmdr. Garta-Nmbarri find those kids.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I think we can safely assume those children are now what we thought they were ....

OPS-Watson says:
:: Can't seem to get the ship to respond ::   XO: Commander...I'm not doing this.  There is not explanation for it!   :: Voice is trembling ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: You head back to the bridge, I will begin a search for those, those...what ever they are.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Engineering.  What is going on down there?

CSO-Elbran says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: And what are they?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks sensors ::   XO: And we are now BEHIND the Cardassian ship

CEO_Heath says:
*XO* With all due respect, that's what I had just asked you.  Nothing that we're doing down here is causing this.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I believe that with two searching, it will go further Mister Nmbarri.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  See if you can get control back.  I don't care how you do it.

CSO-Elbran says:
*CTO*: Sir I’ve been asked to assist with the search. Your instructions?

CEO_Heath says:
*XO* You should have some helm response.  We're working on the rest of it

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* Ma'am, perhaps we should get some telepaths on the search parties.  ::nods to the CIV:: I will have CIV Serok with me in the search.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Understood.  OPS:  Try now.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees an incoming message ::   XO: Commander, the galley is reporting giggling sounds...I believe the kids are there

CEO_Heath says:
::keeps working on the various systems trying to get control back::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CSO* Find any telepath, and begin searching the aft sections of the engineering deck.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Any reason to think they would help?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Tries the helm ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  T'Lok. We think they've been spotted in the Galley.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* No, but it couldn't hurt to have them try.  I am at a loss to explain these beings, or their actions.

CSO-Elbran says:
*CTO*: Aye sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks around at the CO:: CO:  And to answer your question, Sir, How am I supposed to know?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Can you detect anything telepathically?

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  By all means Commander, after you.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I will check.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Mary_Curtis> ::goes to the CMO's office:: CMO: Jenise, I'm getting more reports about headaches.  The telepaths are having trouble.  No report yet from any touch-telepaths though.

CSO-Elbran says:
CMO: Doctor. I need telepaths to assist in the search for the two Bajoran toddlers. Can you direct me to some?

CIV_Serok says:
:: reaches out with her mind to try and find any telepathic activity ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SEC Teams Alpha and Beta* Concentrate your searches on the top 6 decks.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Mary: Okay Mary, offer them pain killers.  We can't do much more without desensitizing them completely.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: CO:  I cannot believe this crew is being bamboozled by two children!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SEC Teams delta and gamma* Concentrate your searches on decks 7 through 12.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CSO: I'd be happy to pull up a list.  My son is still unconscious at the moment.  I can try to wake him or would you prefer adults?

CEO_Heath says:
::tries rerouting systems to regain control::

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I even wonder if those two are even Bajoran.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::thinks she's already told the CO that but doesn't voice the opinion::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Are you detecting anything?

CSO-Elbran says:
CMO: The more powerful the better at this point. We really need to find out what’s going on.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  How is propulsion?

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Nothing yet Commander.

OPS-Watson says:
XO: I have some response, Commander

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Cardassians fire on the Scorpius yet again, and the ship lurches on its own violently to starboard.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::is flung across the room as she wasn't sitting when the ship lurched::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Feels the ship move ::   XO: Except when it does THAT!

:: reaches a hand out to steady herself. ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::grabs her desk to keep from falling out of her chair::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Flies into the port bulkhead as the ship lurches::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::is getting angrier and angrier the longer this goes on::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: If this keeps up, we wont need to worry about finding these beings.  There wont be a ship left.

CSO-Elbran says:
::Falls to the floor::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CSO: Follow me then.  I can't guarantee he'll wake up but Pel Tor is quite strong telepathically.  He is part Ullian. ::gets up from the desk carefully::

CSO-Elbran says:
::Gets up slowly:: Self: This is insane

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees an amber light flashing ::   *CEO*: Watson to Heath...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*All sec teams* I want those toddlers found, now!

CEO_Heath says:
::shakes her head to clear it as she tries to puzzle through the loss of system control::

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  That is highly unlikely Commander, there would still be pieces of the destroyed ship floating in space.

CSO-Elbran says:
::Follows the CMO::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives in the Galley:: CIV: you search the back area, I will concentrate on the front area.

CSO-Elbran says:
CMO: Ullian? I've never heard of that race before. Are they part of the federation?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::picks up a hypo and fills it with a stimulant, then moves to her son::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees an incoming message ::   XO: Commander, the Galley is no longer hearing the giggling.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Agreed.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sighs:: OPS:  Now where are they?

CEO_Heath says:
*OPS* Heath here, go ahead.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::heads to the front area of the galley, searching everywhere he can think::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks ::  XO: I'm guessing deck 17, from my readings

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CSO: Yes, they are very strong telepaths.  A good number of them help in memory recovery. They are able to link with others and aid them.

OPS-Watson says:
*CEO*: I'm seeing impulse engines are going wacky.  I can't find an explanation for it.  Do you have anything?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::applies the stimulant and watches the screen carefully::

CO_VanSickle says:
All: Can someone contact those Cardassians and tell them we aren't attacking them of our own fruition?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  We've tried that.  They didn't believe us.  But you can if you want, Sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees the readings stay the same:: CSO: He isn't waking up.

CEO_Heath says:
::checks:: *OPS* I see it, a team is on it.

OPS-Watson says:
*CEO*: Great!  Thanks!

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Open a channel.

OPS-Watson says:
::Opens a channel::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CSO: Dana Mitchell is a telepath.  Her family lives on deck 3.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CIV* Have you found anything?

OPS-Watson says:
CO: Channel opened, sir

CSO-Elbran says:
CMO: We'll let him sleep then, can you give me the name of a good telepath?

CEO_Heath says:
<Marks> ::steps off the lift on deck 17 near the impulse control center::

CSO-Elbran says:
CMO: Thank you

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CSO: All regular telepaths are reporting headaches.  I'm not certain how solid any of them will be.  Good luck.

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Cardassian ship: This is Capt. Eric VanSickle of the USS Scorpius.  We are not firing on our own accord.  We are being sabotaged.  Please respond.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SEC TEAMS* This is the CTO, report, all teams.

CEO_Heath says:
<Marks> ::hears giggling:: *CEO* I think we have the same problem down here as you had before.  I'm hearing giggling.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Commander, we think the children are no longer in the galley.  Widen your search.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sec team alpha> *CTO* nothing on decks 1 through 6.

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  No, I have not.

CSO-Elbran says:
::Exits the sickbay and heads to the turbolift::

CEO_Heath says:
*Marks* Understood, look for those two kids.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sec team beta> *CTO* nothing on decks 7 through 12.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Listens to her earpiece and hears nothing ::   CO: Sir, I believe the Cardassians are beyond speaking now.  My guess is they won't answer us unless there is a good reason to do so...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*XO* I have my teams on every deck looking, Ma'am.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CTO*:  Good. Find those children, Commander.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sec team gamma> *CTO* nothing on decks 13 through 17.

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Maybe I'll try again...

CSO-Elbran says:
Turbolift: Deck three

CEO_Heath says:
*OPS* Heath to Watson, it seems like the children may be on deck 17 the repair team has reported hearing giggling.   They're looking for the kids now.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Sec team delta> *CTO* nothing on decks 18 through 16.

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Cardassians: We have two aliens who seem to be toddlers aboard this ship.  They are the ones responsible for this chaos.  Hold your fire and we can talk about this.

CSO-Elbran says:
:: Steps out of turbolift on deck three and heads towards Dana Mitchell’s quarters

OPS-Watson says:
*CEO*: Thank you.   *CTO*: Sir, Chief Heath states repair teams have reported hearing giggling on deck 17.

CEO_Heath says:
<Marks> ::leaves one man on the repairs and the rest begin searching for the kids::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sec team delta* Concentrate your searches on decks 16 through 18.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Let's head up to deck 16.  

OPS-Watson says:
:: Hears nothing in her earpiece ::   CO: Still no answer sir...

CSO-Elbran says:
::Signals to enter Dana's quarters, hears a man reply and enters::

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods and follows the CTO ::

CEO_Heath says:
<Marks> ::sees the kids and tries to catch them:: Children: Hey you, let's play.  ::tries to think of something to get them to stop for him::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: This is worse than trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Cardassians have ceased fire but maintain weapons hot status

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Looks like I got through.

CSO-Elbran says:
Man: Hi, I’m CSO Ket Elbran, I’m looking for Dana Mitchell?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks sensors ::   CO: Sir, the Cardassians still have weapons charged....

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Maybe ... at least they're not firing at us anymore ... ::is beginning to calm down just a bit::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::kisses her son on the forehead::

CEO_Heath says:
<Marks> *CEO* The kids are down here, it looks like playing hide and seek or something like that

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I am aware of that proverb Commander.  This is worse in as the needles are moving about.

CSO-Elbran says:
<Man> CSO: She's in the back room, she's a little cranky at the moment though, bad headache

CEO_Heath says:
*Marks* Understood

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters a turbolift, waiting for the CIV to enter after him, then orders it to deck16::

Host Gerry says:
<Yekim> Marks:  wango byebye in sip!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, perhaps we need to think like children ... try to get to them at their own level ...

CEO_Heath says:
*CTO* The children are playing hide and seek on deck 17.

CSO-Elbran says:
::Goes into the back room and sees a woman with a cold compress on her forehead:: Dana: Dana?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Computer> Belay the deck 16 order, go to deck 17.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CEO* Thank you, we are on our way there now.

OPS-Watson says:
::Checks the status of shields and sees they are holding steady::

CEO_Heath says:
<Marks> Yekim: We're trying to get the ship fixed so that we can all go bye bye.  But you have to stay still for a while so that we can do that.

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Cardassians: I need to speak with your commanding officer.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Think like a child?

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Commander, perhaps these "children"  are very young Skree.  Perhaps we should try and contact the Skree and see if they have any children missing.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives at deck:: 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: That sounds like a logical idea.

CEO_Heath says:
<Marks> Yekim: I know a place we can go play though, so that you can run and have fun but keep you out of trouble.

CSO-Elbran says:
<Dana> CSO: Oh! ::Sits up quickly:: CSO: You startled me, arg, sorry, my head is pounding. What can i do for you?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Exactly!  Think about it.  They've been playing games with us ...

<Yekim> Marks:  Bye-bye!  ::stomps foot angrily::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The ship shakes violently

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks her earpiece::   CO: They are receiving sir...but still no answer

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Sir, CIV Serok has an idea.  Try contacting the Skree to see if any of them is missing.

::hangs on as the ship shakes::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Feels the ship begin to shake ::

CO_VanSickle says:
*CTO*: We'll try it.  OPS: Open a channel to the Skree, the same frequency as before.

CSO-Elbran says:
Dana: I know this might be hard in your present condition, but i need you to help me search for those two Bajoran toddlers we took on board.

Host Gerry says:
<Alegna> Marks:  ::jumping up and down::  Want Bye bye!  NOW!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Thank you.  And,  I didn't have much of a childhood.

CIV_Serok says:
:: reaches up and covers her ears ::

CEO_Heath says:
Self: Now what?  ::hears the shrill noise as it seems everything drops offline.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV/XO: Now what?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A point of light condenses on the bridge and begins to glow intensely

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks her console and groans ::

CEO_Heath says:
::works to bring the systems up from inside the computer core::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Looks like we've lost everything but life support ...

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees the light and blinks hard as it grows in intensity ::

CO_VanSickle says:
::covers eyes::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: What a day this is so far.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees the lights go out:: Self: Now what?

CSO-Elbran says:
<Dana> ::Falls to the floor, hands on her head:: CSO: I'm sorry, its just to much.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, you were asking if this is any way to find toddlers...I have to say no, it is not.

CSO-Elbran says:
Dana: It's ok, you go back to your quarters and rest.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands and moves slowly back to her son's bed, feeling her way in the dark::

CEO_Heath says:
::tries to get something going, then tries to get through the door back into the corridor::

CSO-Elbran says:
*CTO*: Sir, the telepathic scan was unsuccessful, power seems to be out in this section, should i make my way to your location and assist?

Host Tp`rana says:
ACTION:  All crew hear the following in their head...

Host Tp`rana says:
Where are my children?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::feels her way over to a supply cupboard and finds a flashlight:: CTO: Let's go find them.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Stops what she is doing and looks around ::

OPS-Watson says:
Out loud: Who was THAT?!?

CO_VanSickle says:
Tp'rana: Are you the toddlers' mother?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears something:: CTO:  Did you hear something?

CIV_Serok says:
:: lifts her eyebrow ::

CSO-Elbran says:
:: Stops dead in his tracks and looks around:: Self: What the ....?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Yes, I was going to ask you the same thing.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Serok, are you sensing anything telepathically?

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  I did hear a voice in my head just now Commander.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  As did I ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears the voice in her head:: Self: Oh come on.  I'm Bajoran!  Stay Out Of My Head!!!

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks sensors ::

CEO_Heath says:
::rubs her temples:: Aloud: Who are you? How can I hear you so clearly?  ::thinks about how fuzzy the thoughts and feelings of others have always been::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::mutters:: Self: If I wanted to be a Betazoid I'd have been born with black hair and on a planet light years away. ::continues to gripe until she reaches her son's bedside::

Host Tp`rana says:
<<heard in their heads in their native languages>>  Children!  It is time to come home.  You have caused enough trouble for one [time span]

CSO-Elbran says:
::Locates a storage locker and pulls out a tricorder::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Still looking around ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks puzzled as she hears the voice in Romulan::

OPS-Watson says:
Self: Where is that coming from?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees the puzzled look in the eyes of the XO:: XO: Is there something wrong, Ma'am?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears another mental comment in Bajoran:: Self: No, no, no!  Nice try!  But you aren't a prophet so stay out of my ::sneezes:: head!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I just heard a voice speaking in my head ... in Romulan ...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
<spoken in Romulan> Voice:  Who are you?

Host Tp`rana says:
ACTION:  The people on the bridge see two smaller points of glowing light come out of the floor and join the larger one, making it brighter...

CIV_Serok says:
XO: And I can hear it in Vulcan.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Romulan?  The voice was speaking Klingon.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV/CTO:  Interesting ...

CEO_Heath says:
::shakes her head:: Self: This is crazy...

OPS-Watson says:
A loud:  Wow!  How cool is that!?!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::turns to the CIV:: CIV: and you heard Romulan.  Now this is interesting.

CSO-Elbran says:
::Activates the tricorder and begins trying to scan for another Bajoran::

CO_VanSickle says:
::sees two more lights:: Tp'rana: Those must be the toddlers.  They've caused all this trouble.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Stands and approaches the light ::

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  No, I heard Vulcan.

Host Tp`rana says:
<<heard in the mind>>  ALL:  Who is the leader here?

OPS-Watson says:
:: With wide eyes, gently goes to touch the light ::

CO_VanSickle says:
Tp'rana: ::raises hand:: I am the captain of this vessel.

Host Tp`rana says:
ACTION:  OPS hand passes though the light with no effect

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: pardon me, I meant Vulcan.  My mind isn't working properly it seems.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO/CIV:  Come on.  Let's head back to the bridge ...

CEO_Heath says:
Self: Diablo, is this what you were talking about? ::begins trying to manipulate the manual door controls::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: Not me!  Go ask the blonde ego on the bridge!

OPS-Watson says:
:: With amazement on her face ::   Aloud: Wow!!!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: It's a long climb back to the bridge, Ma'am.  The turbolifts are still out.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Steps into the light a minute ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::mumbles, knowing Pel Tor is right.  She needs to let some things go::

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods and heads for the bridge with the others ::

CEO_Heath says:
::feels the door give slightly and pushes it the rest of the way open::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I can make it, T'Lok.

CSO-Elbran says:
::Cracks open a Jeffries tube and makes his way towards main engineering::

Host Tp`rana says:
ACTION:  OPS feels warmer slightly but nothing more...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Points to the Jeffries tube and the ladder:: XO: After you, Ma'am.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Oh no ... security officers first, Commander.  I'll follow you up.

CO_VanSickle says:
Tp'rana: I am Capt. Eric VanSickle, commanding officer of the USS Scorpius.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Looks up and around blinking her eyes to adjust for the light ::

Host Tp`rana says:
<<heard in the minds>> CO:  I must apologize for my children.  All will be righted.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: As you wish.  ::opens the Jeffries tube, climbs in and begins his climb towards the bridge::

CO_VanSickle says:
Tp'rana: May I ask what you are?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles and climbs in after him::

CSO-Elbran says:
::Crawls out into main engineering::

CIV_Serok says:
:: follows up behind the XO ::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Thinks ::   Self: I wish this entity would reveal more of itself

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears the voice in his mind:: XO: Ma'am, it looks like my idea was right.  I believe that the toddlers were Skree after all.

CEO_Heath says:
::makes her way carefully down the corridor to a Jeffries tube hatch, then opens it and begins climbing down::

Host Tp`rana says:
<<heard in the minds>> CO:  I am Tp'rana.  That is the simplest way of explaining it.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::reaches for her son::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Smiles feeling warm from the light ::

CO_VanSickle says:
Tp'rana: What race are you and your children?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Maybe ... ::continues climbing::

Host Tp`rana says:
ACTION:  the light grows intense and bright to a point of blinding everyone temporarily

CO_VanSickle says:
::closes eyes at the brightness of the light::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Closes her eyes and covers them with her hands ::

Host Tp`rana says:
ACTION:  Full power is restored to the entire ship.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Hears the power return to the ship ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO/CIV: How are you two holding up?  ::sees the lights come on in the Jeffries tube::

CEO_Heath says:
::counts the rungs of the ladder...covers her eyes when the light glares brightly::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Just fine ...

CSO-Elbran says:
::Sees lights flicker and hears the drone of power beginning to flow in the warp core::

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  Just fine Commander.  You could pick up the pace if you wanted.

CEO_Heath says:
::listens as the systems come back online::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::covers her eyes at the bright glow around her::

CSO-Elbran says:
Self: Lights, voices. (Sigh) I'm loosing my mind.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes a moment till his eyes adjust to being in the light again:: XO/CIV: Ok, that light wasn't natural.  We don't have lights that bright on this ship.

CEO_Heath says:
::exits the Jefferies tube on deck 8 and makes her way to a console, pulling up the engineering systems as she accesses it::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees a bright light:: Self: What???

OPS-Watson says:
:: With eyes closed, moves back towards her console, feeling her way to it, nearly tripping over her feet ::

CIV_Serok says:
CTO:  No, it was not.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  You don't say.   ::opens her eyes::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::her eyes adjust and she sees power restored::

CO_VanSickle says:
::feels his way to his chair::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits the Jeffries tube at the next junction:: XO: CIV: It would appear that power has been restored, and we could go the rest of the way in a turbolift.

CSO-Elbran says:
*CMO*: Doctor, I’m coming up to sickbay. I think i still have a concussion, I’m hearing voices and seeing lights!

OPS-Watson says:
:: Feels this is her chair and takes her seat. ::

CSO-Elbran says:
::Starts making way towards a turbolift::

CEO_Heath says:
::sees that everything is back to normal:: *Bridge* Heath to Bridge, I don't know how it happened, but everything shows to be back to normal.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* Jeni, is everything ok in sickbay?  how is Pel Tor?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Lead the way, Commander.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CSO* It's the same way down here Ensign.  Just relax.  I'm sure you are fine.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Blinks her eyes quickly as they refocus.  Checks her console ::

CO_VanSickle says:
*CEO*: It seems the mother of our two rug rats have retrieved them and fixed everything.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* We're fine.  He's waking up.  Perhaps you can stop by soon.

CSO-Elbran says:
::Feels relieved but concerned::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::heads to the nearest turbolift, enters and waits for the XO and CIV to enter before ordering it to the bridge::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Eyes go wide ::  CO: Sir, we are nearly 3 parsecs from our previous location

CEO_Heath says:
*CO* Understood, Captain.  ::thinks, well, not understood, but I might as well believe it::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* I will be there as soon as i can.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the Jeffries Tube and follows the CTO to the turbolift::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Pel Tor> CMO: Momma, I had a really weird dream. ::yawns::

CSO-Elbran says:
::Enters a turbolift::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Pel Tor: Just rest.  We'll talk about it soon.
