Scorpius 9906.19   Episode 4              Vengeance

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<CONTINUE MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

TO_Calder says:
*CTO* I am at tactical, any new orders, sir?

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: I have finished the last planet scan and none of our crew are there.  I suggest we go back to the previous system.

SO_Nes says:
@::finishing her logs, she refocuses on the alien::

OPS_TJ says:
::Sitting at his console::

CEOTPaula says:
::on bridge::

CSOTsalea says:
::standing behind the big chair reading over data::

EOKellenw says:
::runs last minute tests on the new shuttle sensor array::

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: You realize that pointing doesn't guarantee my understanding.

CSOTsalea says:
FCO:  Agreed.  Proceed at best possible speed.

Host L_Shania says:
::staring at the SO....still frowning::

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Aye Ma’am, resetting course.

MO_Ruby says:
:: in SB::

CTO_Selan says:
::On bridge:: TO: I take it security is in place around the ship?

EOKellenw says:
*CEO*: Kellenway to Chief T'Paula

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Speed Ma’am?

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Yes?

OPS_TJ says:
::begins reading from a PADD and pressing buttons on his console::

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: Ok, what about one blink for yes and two for no?

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Sensor modifications complete. Ready to brief you on it at your convenience.

Host L_Shania says:
@SO: ::shrugs:: I don't understand how you could let this happen

lecaran says:
::Sitting at the SCI console::

TO_Calder says:
CTO: ::jumps a bit:: Yes, sir. I didn't see you come in. 

CSOTsalea says:
FCO: warp 8

CIVlecara says:
CSO: orders, ma'am?

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Acknowledged.  How long since the plasma manifolds were last recalibrated?

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Engaging warp 8::sets controls and feels the Scorpius engines take hold::

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  Did you finish up that report for me on the Ata'al system?

EOKellenw says:
::blinks, and thinks a second:: *CEO* About an hour ago, sir. Why? Are they out again?

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: You speak! What do you mean, are you saying this is all my fault?

CTO_Selan says:
::Nods, and rubs his temples a bit, ignoring the loud buzzing in the back of his mind:: TO: Well then... give me a moment, and... and I will attempt to find something for you to do.

OPS_TJ says:
::keeps a wary eye on his console and watches his readouts::

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: No, they're not.

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Yes, sir.

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Uh....Ok.

CIVlecara says:
CSO: I'm afraid I didn't ma'am. I have been rather.. bust lately.. and I believe my comm system has a glitch in it.. the latest mission brief I got was all garbled, so I didn't even know I was supposed to do that report

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: I am looking for a way to boost the ship's maximum speed, temporarily.

CSOTsalea says:
*CEO*:  Keep a close eye on the warp drive.  Inform me the moment it becomes stressed.

L_Shania says:
@SO: We don't know who's fault it is....we would destroy any who would let this happen with a vengeance.....::shakes head::

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* You don't say, sir. Need some ideas?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  See what you can find.

FCO-Starr says:
TO: Who is this new security guard you have next to my console::looking at Galden::

OPS_TJ says:
::taps at his PADD and stops to look out the viewscreen for a short second::

CIVlecara says:
CSO: Yes, ma'am

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Your suggestions are welcome.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: Could you explain what happened please?

TO_Calder says:
::keeps watch on tactical, hoping to be released to work with security, but from the look for the CTO decides that it isn't possible.::

TO_Calder says:
FCO: Petty Officer Galden, Ma'am.

CEOTPaula says:
CSO: Yes ma'am.

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Nice to meet you.  How long have you been on the Scorpius?

L_Shania says:
@::points to the men:: SO: them!!

CTO_Selan says:
::Stands at Tactical, checks for any vessels in the area:: TO: Is there anything else that you may have to... perform with security, any drills of any... kind?

CIVlecara says:
::Tapping away at the console::

TO_Calder says:
<Sec Galden> FCO: Since about a week before we left space dock, ma'am.

OPS_TJ says:
::reads from the PADD and checks out his diagnostics::

L_Shania says:
@SO: maybe you should see where you really are..........::fades::

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Nothing that is absolutely necessary, sir.

SO_Nes says:
@::sighs:: L_Shania: The men happened. Ok, could you be more specific. Did they cause something to happen?

CSOTsalea says:
::looks up at the view screen at the stars streaking by going over possible reasons and locations for the abduction::

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Well, take good care of me, my cat would certainly miss me::grins::

SO_Nes says:
@::sighs and wonders what will happen next::

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: Understood, ma'am.

SO_Nes says:
@::thinks 'while the cat's away'...shuts her eyes and takes a deep breath before trying to wake the CO and XO telepathically::

OPS_TJ says:
::activates another diagnostic sequence and monitors the results::

FCO-Starr says:
::senses Galden doesn't know quite what to make of Troi speaking to her in such a friendly manner::

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Do you need me in ME, sir?

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<The CO, XO and SO suddenly realize they are all in their own.....cocoon.....looking out at more cocoons...as far as they can see>>>>>>>

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: If you're done with the shuttle.

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Aye, sir. On my way.

EOKellenw says:
Johnson: Ensign Johnson, you’re in charge here. Routine diagnostics on that shuttle, and keep me apprised.

SO_Nes says:
@::wonders if they're seeing a metaphor::

EOKellenw says:
::leaves SB 1, and heads for a TL::

CTO_Selan says:
TO: Well... then. Perform random... searches of all decks... for anything... ::Attempts to smile:: Just to keep you busy, that is.

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<<They see a sudden flash....and........are all back in the room>>>>>>>

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Yes, sir. Are you all right, sir?

CIVlecara says:
::still looking through the databanks::

EOKellenw says:
TL: Main engineering

OPS_TJ says:
::taps a button and uploads the results to log at a later time::

Host CO_Miller says:
@XO/SO:  What is going on here?

EOKellenw says:
::begins contemplating a way to increase warp speed

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> ::leans against a wall and starts cleaning her rifle::

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<<Little Shania reappears....>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Jude says:
@SO/CO:   Did we all just see the same thing.....cocoons?

Host CO_Miller says:
@XO/SO:  And who is that?

CTO_Selan says:
::Looks surprised by Calder's question:: TO: Eh? Oh... yes, I have just had some... pain in my mind lately.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: Was that an image of your young? How they are born?

CSOTsalea says:
OPS:  send a communication to Starfleet regarding this situation.  I would like some form of a response from them.

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Sir, with all due respect, I believe you should get to sickbay.

OPS_TJ says:
::nods and looks up from his readouts:: CSO: Understood , ma'am.

CEOTPaula says:
::carefully tweaking systems::

SO_Nes says:
@::whispers:: CO/XO: I'll explain more definitely later, but it seems you two are to blame for something.

EOKellenw says:
::steps into ME from the TL, and heads for his usual station::

CTO_Selan says:
TO: I will be fine... I have already been to sickbay earlier, and what the EMH, and Doctor did for me has not helped in the... lightest.

Host CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Blame?  The blame for what?

XO_Jude says:
@SO:  Us?  To blame for what?   I don't recall ever even being in this system?

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* I'm now in ME, sir. What is our current warp status?

OPS_TJ says:
::punches up a button and studies his display for a moment before opening a channel and sending a transmission, this time requesting a response::

SO_Nes says:
@::whispers:: CO: Undetermined. I'd have better luck communicating with a rock.

L_Shania says:
@::ignores the CO and XO:: SO: We are in charge.....you only think you are in this environment.....You’re not.....we are deciding .......

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Perhaps rest? Maybe sleep would help?

XO_Jude says:
@SO/CO:   Unless "she" means us generally, as in humans

Host CO_Miller says:
@XO/SO:  I don't know about you, but this is getting a bit ridiculous!

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: Do you know Q?

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Ma’am, we are halfway back.

XO_Jude says:
@CO:  Amen to that

CSOTsalea says:
::nods at FCO::

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Optimal.  I'd like to improve it.

Host CO_Miller says:
@L_Shania:  What is it you want with us?

CTO_Selan says:
TO: I will be fine... tend to your duties. ::Nods at Calder to move on::

CSOTsalea says:
CEO:  How are the engines doing?

L_Shania says:
@SO: We are not concerned with others

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* How far would you like it improved? The farther you push it, the more things can go wrong.

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Use your best judgment.

CEOTPaula says:
CSO: No problems yet, ma'am.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: Are you putting males or humanity on trial in some way?

CSOTsalea says:
::nods::

L_Shania says:
@SO: How is it that you allow them to lead? ::bewildered::

EOKellenw says:
::grins:: *CEO* Is that faith in my abilities I am detecting, Chief?

FCO-Starr says:
::watches as the stars shoot pass the Scorpius and thinks how beautiful it is::

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: To a degree, perhaps.

Host CO_Miller says:
@::looks confusingly over at Jude::

FCO-Starr says:
Galden:  Where do you come from?

TO_Calder says:
CTO: My duties for the moment have been attended to. Weapons are as ready as they can be. The ship has security on every deck. The combat unit is just waiting for a command. However, if something happens to you, who would give that command? With all due respect, sir, your health needs to be attended to. ::pulls tricorder and scans::

EOKellenw says:
::sets to work, inputting various equations into the computer for analysis::

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: We don't allow them to lead, both male and females lead in our society.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: Earth Originally. A little town called Bremerton.

OPS_TJ says:
CSO: ::puzzled look on his face:: Ma'am, I'm not getting a response. In fact, I'm not getting any signals of communications...

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: I have visited Earth many times but I don't believe I have ever been there.  What country is it in?

CSOTsalea says:
OPS:  I had wondered.  Is there some interference?

CIVlecara says:
CSO: Ma'am, this is what I can find. It had 2 class M planets, which by our passing scans, seemed uninhabited, as well as 2 gas giants far out, and one class Y planet very close to the sun. The sun itself is class G, slightly brighter than that of Earth

L_Shania says:
@SO: We do not allow our drones to lead...only work......they would be killed if they did otherwise.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: If an individual excels in some way, they are placed in a leadership position. Our males are not drones, we are both equals.

EOKellenw says:
::looks at the results of some equations, and nods, entering positive data into a PADD::

CTO_Selan says:
::Sighs:: TO: Mr. Calder, my current health has nothing to do with my physical abilities... but more so, I believe, to do with my late telepathic abilities. Perhaps they are returning... perhaps this is an extra-added bonus to the Psionic Shockwave which robbed me of my abilities months ago... whatever it is, it does not take priority of I helping

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  anything on the other planets beyond the M worlds?

CTO_Selan says:
this crew search for their missing crewmembers.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: It is directly north of SFC, hmmm... about a thousand kilometers or so. I haven't been there in a long time though.

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Do you have any brothers and sisters?

OPS_TJ says:
::confirms his readings again:: CSO: Negative. Just... nothing.

TO_Calder says:
CTO: On the contrary, sir. We need you at your full capacity. ::continues scanning, and finding nothing::

L_Shania says:
@::Walks around the room..looking at the group......still a semi loud.....sound in the background::

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: No, my parents were both in Star Fleet, and assigned to different ships. Amazing that I was even born.

CSOTsalea says:
OPS:  How does one have.... Just nothing?  Either something is blocking us or there is something wrong with our equipment.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: Would you like me to explain further?

CTO_Selan says:
TO: I am at my fullest capacity as I will ever be...

CSOTsalea says:
CEO:  Check out communications.

EOKellenw says:
::sits back in his chair, deep in thought as his eyes rest on the warp core.::

CEOTPaula says:
CSO: Is there a problem with it?

TO_Calder says:
CTO: The tricorder seems to agree with you. However, you do not seem to be your usual self.

CIVlecara says:
CSO: Umm.. what do you want ma'am? The gas giants are blue and red, one is 4 times as large as Jupiter, the other 2/3 it's size, and they both have rings and moons.. None of the 27 moons(both planets) seem habitable, but 4 of them could possibly be lived on, if an airtight shelter was built

OPS_TJ says:
CSO: Sorry, ma'am, I am just getting nothing. No subspace, no signals, no background calls... nothing. I'll run another diagnostic,.

EOKellenw says:
::snaps his fingers and sits up again:: *CEO* Engineering to Chief T'Paula

CIVlecara says:
CSO: just a sec, I have more here

CTO_Selan says:
::Sighs and turns away from his console completely to the TO:: TO: Mr. Calder, am I ever my usual self?

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: I have heard similar stories while in SF.  I am glad you were born::grins::otherwise I would never have met you!

CSOTsalea says:
CEO:  Uncertain.  But we seem unable to send or receive anything.

L_Shania says:
@SO: Explain?? I don't understand......wait..........

XO_Jude says:
@SO/CO:   We seem to have encountered a race of bee-like organization,  dominated by a female, or females.....I wonder if the sounds we're hearing are the sounds of the "hive."

CEOTPaula says:
::meanwhile looking into comm systems::  *EO*: Yes, Ensign?

TO_Calder says:
CTO: ummm.... no, not really. But you are quite far from condition you have been in previously.

OPS_TJ says:
::runs another system-wide check and a level 1 diagnostic::

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: Yes, ma'am.

Host CO_Miller says:
@XO:  I'm beginning to get that feeling too.  Perhaps you are right.

CIVlecara says:
CSO: The class Y planet, which is what my professors on betazed referred to as a "demon" class planet is extremely hot, and very close to the sun, but it could be lived on for a short period of time in environment suits

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Sir, I have a way we might be able to increase warp speed. The other side of the coin, however, is that we run the risk of doing major damage to the ship if something goes wrong.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: What is the status of the Scorpius?

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Are you sure you aren't related to the TO?::wonders if this woman has more than a "few" word vocabulary::

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Weigh the benefits against the risk, Ensign.

XO_Jude says:
@CO:  The question is,  how do we get out of the hive?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  did any of these planets have possible life forms?

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: No, ma'am. I do not believe so. Why do you ask?

L_Shania says:
@SO: Scorpius? What is....oh....your vessel?

FCO-Starr says:
::watches to see if she has a sense of humor::

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: Yes.

Host CO_Miller says:
@XO:  We need to give the impression that Shania is in charge.

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Since I understand we are in a hurry to find our command staff, the benefits, if successful, greatly outweighs the risks. Unless of course, something goes wrong.

L_Shania says:
@SO: we have it in orbit....they think they are somewhere else....

FCO-Starr says:
Galden:  Well, I think working with him has caused the proverbial cat to get your tongue::giggling::

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: In other words the benefits would outweigh the risks if there were no risks.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: The previous Captain of our Starship was a female, she is now an Admiral and leads more people.

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* No sir. In other words, how much do you trust me?

XO_Jude says:
@CO:   Aye,  as to our cell,  if this were an earth hive, we could just cut away the wax cover.....

SO_Nes says:
@::nods her thanx at the alien::

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: I was not aware that this duty required a good deal of talking. ::frowns a bit and goes back to reassembling her rifle::

CSOTsalea says:
::waiting for civ's answer::

CIVlecara says:
CSO: We didn't get close enough to do a full scan, as we just passed by, but all I can find in the sensor logs is that were organic cells detected in the system.. but that could mean anything from amino acids, to elephants, certain rocks, to flowering plants.. or humanoids.. we will have to check more closely when we get there

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Define unit of measurement.  How calamitous would the results be if something were to go wrong?

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: I believe you are telepathic in nature? Our communication would be easier if we could communicate in this way.

L_Shania says:
@SO: We do not understand......All females are meant to be leaders...Drones do the work...it is the natural order of things.

CSOTsalea says:
::nods::  CIV:Thanks, we will proceed to that planet first.

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Worst case scenario: we're dead.

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: No it doesn't but sometimes I like to chat, that way I can get to know the people I am near.  I hope we can be friends, not just protector and protectee!

Host CO_Miller says:
@XO:  Yes, but didn't Shania try using her knives already?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  give the FCO the coordinates.

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: I don't think the situation is that desperate.

FCO-Starr says:
::hears the CSO speaking with the civilian and awaits new coordinates::

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Well sir, unless you happen to have hours of spare time in your back pocket, we have no other way to do this. It's your call, sir.

L_Shania says:
@::looks bewildered again:: SO: We are communicating telepathically..you are still in your cocoon..

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> ::slings her rifle over her shoulder:: FCO: I see. I had assumed it was some type of questionnaire to determine my fitness for this position.

CIVlecara says:
CSO: Pardon ma'am? I didn't specify which planet it was, if fact, our scans didn't even indicate which one, so it could be any of them

CIVlecara says:
FCO: Here, I am transferring them to your console  :taps a few buttons::

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: If this is true. ::begins to form thoughts of their society, how it is run, the different world’s etc::

FCO-Starr says:
Galden::smiles with great warmth::No Galden, I just like people and hope to get to know you better.

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: By how much would our speed be increased?

FCO-Starr says:
::watches as the data come into her console::

OPS_TJ says:
CSO: unfortunately, my readings, and the diagnostic, still indicate that there are no malfunctions. ::hands her a PADD:: Here are the results of my diagnostics..

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* I would endeavor to say at least 2 full warp speeds. Anything higher than that, and our odds decrease exponentially.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: Understood. ::smiles a bit:: Hmm... what do ya want to talk about?

SO_Nes says:
@::starts off with the history of the Federation::

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Ma’am, which planet do you want me to direct the S to?

CSOTsalea says:
::withholds a frown::  Civ:  You mentioned a world with organic cell structure

CIVlecara says:
CSO: So far, the possibly inhabitable count is up to 4 moons and 3 planets, a total of 7 possible destinations

CSOTsalea says:
::takes the padd::

XO_Jude says:
@~~~~SO:   can we attempt to contact Tsalea as a threesome and warn her that she's on a goose chase,   maybe fire a few torpedoes at the coordinates that would be right if they were aiming at the original M-Class world ~~~~

L_Shania says:
@::looks carefully at the SO........hmmm....so out of order.....::

CSOTsalea says:
OPS:  Try to discover a method to determine why.  There is usually an answer, though not necessarily the one we want.

CIVlecara says:
CSO: No, I mentioned that our passive scans had indicated organic cells somewhere in the solar system, but we were at warp speed when the scans were done, so they weren't very specific

CEOTPaula says:
::glances at Tsalea...wavers::  *EO*: Please record your plan in case we need it in the future.

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Aye, sir.

CTO_Selan says:
TO: Anyway, if there is anything you need to tend to... proceed with it.

SO_Nes says:
@~~~XO: I am trying to show her our history, you and the CO should contact T~~~

EOKellenw says:
::begins entering his plan into the computer for future reference::

OPS_TJ says:
CSO: Understood. ::leans over his panels, deep in thought::

CTO_Selan says:
::Turns back to his console, and performs more scans on the area, the buzzing continuing::

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Ma’am, just head to any life scans the sensors pick up?

TO_Calder says:
CTO: Understood. ::goes back to watching the console::

CSOTsalea says:
FCO:  Map out an optimum trajectory to cover the planets.  If we must we will send down AT to each one.

SO_Nes says:
@::shows the alien the history of numerous worlds, beginning with her own, then Earth, Vulcan etc::

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Aye Ma’am, that will mean an extremely wide ellipse with very little data gathered.  Make I make a suggestion?

XO_Jude says:
~~~~@CO:   If the entire hive is opposing us,  what if we concentrated on disturbing their link,    maybe focus on the adjacent cocoon?~~~~

CSOTsalea says:
::nods at FCO::

SO_Nes says:
@::starting to get rather tired:: L_Shania: Do you have a better understanding?

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> ::Notes that the FCO is a very busy person::

CIVlecara says:
CSO: ma'am, I don't believe that will be necessary.. once we enter the system, we should be able to tell which ones have organic cells, and once we get closer, we should be able to get a life-sign count, and the species of the life-forms

L_Shania says:
@SO: You have a well trained....thought pattern.....I understand........We do not approve....but, we do understand........

EOKellenw says:
:finishes entering the data, and relaxes in his chair, smiling as he watches the warp core with satisfaction::

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: I suggest that we take each planet one by one, as we did the last system. Our sensors are set to pick our crew, and this way we won't accidentally miss them.

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  Yes but we need to start somewhere

Host CO_Miller says:
@XO:  I am more concerned with these aliens realizing that all societies are not alike.  I would like to prevent this from happening to other races.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: We have found in our travels things we don't approve of, but our Prime Directive forbids us to interfere. ::shows her examples of the Prime Directive::

ACTION:
<<<<<<<suddenly....Scorpius is orbiting the planet they were originally at....>>>>>>>>

OPS_TJ says:
::checks his readings::

EOKellenw says:
::blinks, the ship suddenly no longer at warp drive::

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Ma’am, we have been moved again, we are now at the original planet !

OPS_TJ says:
::hears his console beep at him and he confirms the FCO's report::

CSOTsalea says:
FCO:  What original planet?

CIVlecara says:
CSO: Yes, ma'am, I agree with the trajectory idea, I was referring to send an AT to each of the 7 possible planetoids.. that won't be necessary once we get our scan done

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Engineering to T'Paula....is everything all right up there? Our warp core just....stopped.

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: The one we were taken from in the beginning Ma’am.

CTO_Selan says:
::Console starts beeping:: Eh... what?!? CSO: Confirmed... we are at the original planet... the one that we were sent away from!

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: No immediate danger to the ship is apparent, although things are more inexplicable than "all right."

L_Shania says:
@SO: yes..::nod head in a no fashion:: we cannot  allow this to pollute our people...::noise gets louder........very loud::

TO_Calder says:
::stays on the side while the CTO has taken over his console::

CSOTsalea says:
CIV/FCO:  I believe that is what I said.

CEOTPaula says:
::looks around the bridge::

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: What will you do? ::covers her ears::

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Understood ::closes comm channel:: Is that Vulcan for 'I have no bloody idea'?

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  What can you tell me about the planet below.

CSOTsalea says:
FCO:  standard orbit

Host CO_Miller says:
@::covers his ears with his hands::

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<Noise STOPS>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Aye Ma’am, if I am allowed to move the Scorpius::begins settings for standard orbit::

SO_Nes says:
@::removes her hands from her ears::

CIVlecara says:
CSO: well, we are orbiting one of the gas giants, this particular one is the larger of the 2, and it has 13 moons

CIVlecara says:
CSO: one of which could possibly be habitable.. but it has no life signs, according to scans I just did

L_Shania says:
@SO: We will allow you to leave....but. be warned...do not come back.

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:Only one of the moons is able to support life?

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Confirm the Civilians scans.  Our people may be shielded.

Host CO_Miller says:
@::thinks to himself...we didn't want to be here in the first place!::

EOKellenw says:
::uses the time at impulse to set up the warp systems for increased speeds::

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: We will not, we will warn others of your existence.

L_Shania says:
@SO: do not enter this system....do not send any message to this system...

CTO_Selan says:
::Begins actual scans for any vessels... nothing turns up::

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  scan for any possible life forms.

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: We will do as you ask. However, please remember that some species are different from yourselves and you shouldn't judge them because they are different.

L_Shania says:
@SO: We can travel much faster than you....our vengeance will be final if you do not heed this warning.....

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Standard orbit achieved Ma’am.

CIVlecara says:
CSO: yes ma'am. a few of the other could possible hold life in a large bio-dome, but I would have detected that

CSOTsalea says:
::nods::

CIVlecara says:
CSO:conducting scan now, ma'am

SO_Nes says:
@L_Shania: We understand completely.

FCO-Starr says:
::performing her own scans as backup::

SO_Nes says:
@::shows the alien what they will do, the buoy, its position etc::

CIVlecara says:
CSO: We've ruled out 3 of the moons.. scanning for man-made structures on all of the moons..

CSOTsalea says:
OPS:  Try to communicate with the planet below.  All hailing frequencies.

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Just another day at the office::grins::

OPS_TJ says:
::nods:: CSO: ::adjusts his controls:: Hailing frequencies open.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: It seems quite hectic. 

ACTION:
<<<<<<<L-Shania. turns into a  upright bee like creature....the noise returns..........VERY LOUD.......The Scorpius crew can hear it......it brings everyone to their knees !!   >>>>>>>>>

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Well I am sure your job is just like mine, some days no rain and others all it seems to do is flood!

CIVlecara says:
CSO: This particular planet and all of it's moons are empty. The only possible way they could be hidden is at the core of a planetoid, at which point the core emissions would mask the life signs, but that is highly unlikely

CEOTPaula says:
::vaguely aware that this is the most unusual thing that's ever happened to her::

Host CO_Miller says:
@covers his ears and winces at the loudness::

CSOTsalea says:
COM: Planet:  This is the USS Scorpius of the federation.  We are searching for our missing crew.  Please respond.

FCO-Starr says:
::grabs her ears and moans, falling to the floor::

OPS_TJ says:
::grabs his head, and then his console, pulls himself up-right::

CIVlecara says:
CSO: scanning the other planets and moons, ma'am

MO_Ruby says:
::  covers ears  even down in SB::

OPS_TJ says:
::chokes back a yell of pain::

SO_Nes says:
@::on her knees covering her ears::

TO_Calder says:
::falls to the ground with his hands over his ears::

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<<<<There is a flash of light......the CO,XO and SO are back aboard Scorpius.......the noise stops>>>>>>>>>>>>

EOKellenw says:
::covers his ears, and doubles over in his chair, hitting the floor::

CSOTsalea says:
CIV:  All things are possible.  Perhaps not probable, but possible.

OPS_TJ says:
::startled and confused, stands:: ALL: Umm, Captain on the bridge..? ::stands::

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> ::cries out in pain and falls down::

CTO_Selan says:
::Noise erupts through his ear-drums... grabs his ears, and cries out in pain::

FCO-Starr says:
~~~~Maam, where is this coming from, the pain is intense~~~~

CSOTsalea says:
::looks up in relief at the return of the crew members::

CEOTPaula says:
::pauses for a moment, then gets off the floor::

OPS_TJ says:
::still feeling the after-effects of the intense noise::

EOKellenw says:
::slowly removes his hands from his ears, and looks around at the other EO's::

CTO_Selan says:
::The noise stops, and he let’s go of his ears, and looks as suddenly the three missing crew-members have returned::

ACTION:
<<<<<<Scorpius finds itself just outside of the system.....near the first Breen outpost>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Miller says:
::regains his composure::  CSO:  Please send out a warning buoy for this sector.

TO_Calder says:
::gets up and quickly takes over the tactical station again::

SO_Nes says:
::smiles at her friends:: ALL: Nice to see you!

CEOTPaula says:
::looks around the bridge regaining her wits::

CSOTsalea says:
CSO:  Yes Sir!

OPS_TJ says:
::nods weakly to Nes::

FCO-Starr says:
::grabs her console and stands to sit back down in her helm chair::

MO_Ruby says:
:; stands up::  *bridge*:  what just happened up there?

CIVlecara says:
CSO: ma'am.. I've located them.. What!?! they are gone!   ::looks up and notices them, then gets a sheepish look on his face:: Oh!

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> anyone: That was unpleasant.

CSOTsalea says:
::heads over to science to set up the buoy::

CTO_Selan says:
::Is relieved at the sight of Nes all right... buzzing still painfully in the back of his mind::

CEOTPaula says:
::turns back to her console::

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  What is our current status?

OPS_TJ says:
::slumps into his chair::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Welcome back Captain!

EOKellenw says:
::begins checking ship systems, making sure there was no damage to any of them::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  we are currently back at the first Breen outpost

SO_Nes says:
::walks over to the Sci Console and gives T her info. for the buoy::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  The ship is as you left it.

CIVlecara says:
CSO/CO: Ma'am.. uh.. sir? Whoever... we are now outside of the system again

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: Well, I've spent most of the time since I returned doing computer work. Not a whole lot of people came by to tell me to do something.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: We have now been displaced in space. We are back to the first outpost when we began this mission.

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Thank you Tsalea.

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  Buoy ready to launch, but where?

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Status?

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  We shall continue to resupply outposts.

XO_Jude says:
CO:  Aye sir,

MO_Ruby says:
*2nd*:  Sir..  hat happened up there  I have ear problems coming in from all over the ship. what happened?

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Shaken, not stirred, sir. Things running smoothly down here.

OPS_TJ says:
CO: Sir, shall I contact Starfleet?

CSOTsalea says:
SO:  Thanks Shania, and welcome back.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, I would suggest you rethink that position.

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  You might want to get that information from Shania.

TO_Calder says:
CTO: I assume you want your station back, sir ::motions to the TAC station and moves away::

CSOTsalea says:
*MO*:  As soon as I have more data I will inform you.

SO_Nes says:
CSO: Thanx, it's nice to be back. ::gives co-ordinates to T::

Host CO_Miller says:
FCO:  And why is that Troi?

CTO_Selan says:
TO: Of course. ::Nods::

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: What exactly has been shaken?  And what would constitute "stirring" in this context?

CSOTsalea says:
::enters coordinates::  CO:  ready to launch.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, that is what we were doing when the three of you were kidnapped.  Would it be wise to take the same route?

EOKellenw says:
::rolls his eyes and mumbles something under his breath::

CSOTsalea says:
SO:  report to sickbay

OPS_TJ says:
CO: Sir, shall I contact Starfleet?

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Ensign?

CIVlecara says:
::Stands up, relinquishing his post to the CSO or SO::

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Everything is working fine, sir.

MO_Ruby says:
*@nd*:  thank you sir....

Host CO_Miller says:
FCO:  Everything is fine now.  Please proceed to the next outpost.

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: That is good to hear.  ::decides Kellenway was just being human::

SO_Nes says:
::shakes her head at Lecaran:: CSO: Yes ma'am. ::moves to the TL::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Aye Sir::resets controls and head to the next outpost::

FCO-Starr says:
::he must know something she doesn't know::

OPS_TJ says:
CO: Sir, shall I contact Starfleet?

SO_Nes says:
::enters TL 'Sickbay'::

Host CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Yes TJ, and let them know I will be sending them a complete report.

OPS_TJ says:
CO: Aye sir.. and sir? It's good to have you back. ::turns back to his console already pressing buttons, opening the channel::

Host CO_Miller says:
::nods at TJ::  OPS:  You don't know how good it is to be back!

OPS_TJ says:
CO: ::nods with a grin:: Channel, open, I am sending them a transmission, and informing of our current heading.

SO_Nes says:
::TL stops, exiting she moves towards Sickbay and enters::

CSOTsalea says:
::deploys buoy::

SO_Nes says:
MO: Reporting for a checkup, you might want to order the CO and XO down here.

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Please get the latest status reports from all departments.  I'd like to know what I've missed.  ::smiles::

CSOTsalea says:
::walks over to the captain::

XO_Jude says:
CO:  Aye sir

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  your presence was missed.  I believe standard procedure would be for you and the commander to report to SB.

MO_Ruby says:
::looks up at So::    Indeed I will.  have a seat  ....

Host CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Yes, Tsalea I believe you are right.  And may I say....I believe command fits you well!

XO_Jude says:
::Checks console for updated status reports and forwards them to the to the CO's RR.::

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Well looks like we are back to normal, well as normal as can be expected::chuckles::

SO_Nes says:
::sits down::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  I am not certain I agree.  But, thank you.

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Shall we head down to SB?

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: yes. Always makes you wonder what "normal" is, doesn't it?

MO_Ruby says:
:: takes out a  tricorder::  Nes..  so you  had an adventure?

Host CO_Miller says:
::gets up and heads for the TL::  CSO:  You have the bridge!

CSOTsalea says:
XO:  Welcome back.  I look forward to your report

SO_Nes says:
::grins:: MO: You could say that.

CSOTsalea says:
::nods::

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: I don't think there is such a thing is there?::looks up at her and grins::

XO_Jude says:
CO:  Actual status of the ship seems to be normal,  excepting the information based on the "bee-people's"  mass telepathic dillusion.

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Check systems thoroughly for any effects of that ... unusual method of transport.

XO_Jude says:
CO:  Ready to head to SB

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: And you thought I had been around Calder too long?

MO_Ruby says:
So:  so what happened? ::  slowly going through tests::

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Already done, sir. Everything checks out all right.

Host CO_Miller says:
XO:  Thank you Jude.

CIVlecara says:
::notices that SO has left to SB, and CSO is still in command, so he sits down at SCI again::

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: My apologies Galden!  How about after this shift, we have some dinner in the Oasis?

CTO_Selan says:
::Wonders if any of the other telepaths are experiencing the same "mind-problems"::

XO_Jude says:
CSO:  As the CO said,  it's good to be home again.    We encountered some telepaths whom you would probably want to avoid melding with.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: ::tries to mimic Calder's voice:: "Normal? What is that? There is no such thing as normal! It is just a skewed version of average" ::grins and breaks down laughing::

SO_Nes says:
MO: Our abductors blamed the males or drones of their society for something, they were angry that in our society we allowed males to lead.

Host CO_Miller says:
::arrives in SB::

CEOTPaula says:
*EO*: Have level one diagnostics run at next convenience.

EOKellenw says:
*CEO* Aye, sir.

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: So is that a yes or no to dinner?

MO_Ruby says:
So:  your kidding me? :: goes over vitals::

CSOTsalea says:
::looks forward to the CO/XO/XO reports::

XO_Jude says:
::Follows the CO to SB::

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: Sure. I think Mike someone or other is relieving me. 

MO_Ruby says:
:: notices The  CO enter::  welcome to SB  captain

EOKellenw says:
::begins scheduling level 1 diagnostics for each system on the ship.::

SO_Nes says:
MO: No. I was the only one they would talk to. There was a lot of telepathic imagery going on.

Host CO_Miller says:
::nods to the MO::  MO:  This won't take long, will it Dr.?

SO_Nes says:
::looks at the CO/XO and knows they're itching to leave::

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Well we don't have much longer up here, why don't you call your replacement and I will see you in the Oasis.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> ::walks over to Calder:: 

Host CO_Miller says:
SO:  You handled yourself well, Shania.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> TO: When does my shift end?

SO_Nes says:
CO: Thankyou sir.

MO_Ruby says:
CO:  depends on what all you ran into down there sir.

TO_Calder says:
Galden: About 5 minutes, why?

CSOTsalea says:
OPS:  Send out an update to SF.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> TO: Thanks.

TO_Calder says:
::wonders what Galden is up too::

OPS_TJ says:
CSO: Way ahead of you, ma'am. I already have. ::smiles::

EOKellenw says:
::begins to wonder if T'Paula will order him through the carpets of the ship with a comb, just to make sure they look right::

MO_Ruby says:
::calls over MO’s to start   full physicals  on the CO and  XO::

CSOTsalea says:
::nods::

Host CO_Miller says:
SO:  I want to send SFC a complete report as soon as possible.  Please have your report to me ASAP.

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: Well, Since I am now one of your personal guards, it doesn't really matter when he comes ::grins some more:: 

SO_Nes says:
::stifles a groan:: CO: Yes sir.

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Ma’am, permission to leave the bridge as my duty shift is over?

CSOTsalea says:
::nods at FCO::  FCO:  Granted

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: Aye Ma’am.

FCO-Starr says:
Ensign: Turning the helm over to you.

FCO-Starr says:
::get out of her chair::

SO_Nes says:
MO: Can I leave ma'am?

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: Well let's go.  I don't know about you, but I need a chocolate fix very badly!::chuckles outloud::

Host CO_Miller says:
::looks over at the Dr. after being poked and prodded::  MO:  May I leave now?

TO_Calder says:
<Galden> FCO: Chocolate is good. 

MO_Ruby says:
So:  when we are done with you  ::grins evilly::

SO_Nes says:
MO: I thought you had finished. ::grins back::

CTO_Selan says:
::Closes eyes... buzzing intensifying, then lessening, and then intensifying... like a pulse::

FCO-Starr says:
Galden: I knew I like you!  Let's go see what Shsssaa can cook up for us!::walks to the TL with Galden beside her::

CTO_Selan says:
::Ignores buzzing, and continues tactical scans of area::

CTO_Selan says:
::And is somewhat annoyed at the fact that there is nothing...::

MO_Ruby says:
CO:  yes sir but we may call you back for more tests if necessary

EOKellenw says:
::checks in with the DCP in SB 1, to make sure the shuttle is working fine::

Host CO_Miller says:
MO:  Thank you Dr.  I am at your disposal if necessary.

CSOTsalea says:
::picks up something odd and looks over at Selan::  CTO:  Lt.  are you all right?

Host CO_Miller says:
::gets up and heads out of SB::

MO_Ruby says:
::nodds::

EOKellenw says:
Himself: Ok....so now what do I do with this shuttle?
