Scorpius 9907.10       episode 3    Algernon Quest

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

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, the way it looks now, we are approximately one hour from the Scorpius.

TO_Calder says:
::standing on the Ki'Paq::

CMO_Starr says:
::on the Ki’paq::

CEOTPaula says:
::on Ki'paq::

Shinar says:
::Sitting in the Command Chair on the bridge of the Scorpius::

CSOTsalea says:
::within the bubble contemplating a way to get out::

SO_Nes says:
@::on the Ki'Paq at the Sci console::

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Thank you Troi, please keep me posted.

CIVlecara says:
@::at the conn of the Ki'Paq::

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Shania, are we still tracking the warp signature?

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Aye Sir, would you like me to keep trying to contact T or Jude?

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Yes Troi, that is a good idea.

SO_Nes says:
@CO: We weren't tracking it due to interference, but now I have it on my panel.

CIVlecara says:
@::hits a few buttons to make minor course adjustments::

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Acknowledged.

Shinar says:
<Hypnotized. Science Officer> *Shinar* Master, studies of the remains are complete. Location of Algernon Device is in Norkan system.

CIVlecara says:
@*CEOskarj,CEOtpaula*: How are things going down there? can you get the plasma injectors up to speed, cause we could really use that boost

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  Mr. Lecaran, what is the status of your ships systems?

FCO-Starr says:
@::checks the helm controls then closes her eyes to contact T::

CEOTPaula says:
@*CIV*: I am doing what I can.

Shinar says:
::Smiles:: Good... good.

FCO-Starr says:
@~~~~Tsalea, can you hear me? ~~~~

CSOTsalea says:
~~~~XO:  I am not familiar with that system.  I thought he had the device~~~~

XO_Jude says:
Selan:   I know you're in there somewhere,  for the love of all that's good,  for the love of Sarah.....  take control of Shinar even for a few moments!!!!!!

Shinar says:
Hypnotized FCO: Plot a course to the Norkan system... Warp 8.

CIVlecara says:
@CO: All systems are at %100, except for disrupter nodes and engines

XO_Jude says:
~~~~CSO:   I'm not familiar with the system either..... but I have an idea~~~~~

Shinar says:
<Hyp. FCO> ::Nods, plots course in for Norkan system::

FCO-Starr says:
@~~~~XO, this is Troi, can you hear me? ~~~~

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  Thank you Mr. Lecaran, please keep me posted on everything.

SO_Nes says:
@CMO: How are you?

XO_Jude says:
Selan:  Can you hear me?

CMO_Starr says:
@SO:  Good and You?  How is your headache?

XO_Jude says:
Selan:  Your crew needs you

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Sir, I am detecting a change in the Scorpius' trajectory.. it seems they are headed for a .. Norkan system.. should I adjust course accordingly?

Shinar says:
::Turns with a sigh:: XO: Please, you are beginning to annoy me.

SO_Nes says:
@CMO: Fine now thanx. This is just so frustrating.

CO_Miller says:
@TO:  Ian, I am putting you in full charge of Tactical.

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, I cannot contact either of them::frowns::

CMO_Starr says:
@SO:  I agree.  I wish there was more I could do. ::sighs::

CSOTsalea says:
::with Shinar distracted tries exit the skin of the bubble::

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Keep trying Troi, let's not give up.

TO_Calder says:
@CO: Yes, sir. ::moves to the tactical station::

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Aye Sir.

XO_Jude says:
Selan:   I think you and I need to do more than just annoy your unhealthy subconscious

SO_Nes says:
@CMO: I believe the FCO is trying to contact T again, you might want to watch her statistics.

CSOTsalea says:
Shinar:  Tell me of this Algernon device.

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  Adjust course accordingly.

Shinar says:
::Nose bleeds slightly. Raises an eyebrow, and wipes the blood with a sigh. Brain is hemorrhaging earlier than he thought::

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Thank you sir, we should catch up with them soon

CMO_Starr says:
@SO:  I already am.

SO_Nes says:
@CMO: Great minds think alike. ::smiles::

CO_Miller says:
@TO:  Since I cannot officially grant you a promotion, I am giving you a field promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, as you are in charge of Tactical.....Is that understood Ian?

CIVlecara says:
@TO: Mr. Calder, I am transferring all weapons controls to your console... now.. as per the captains orders

TO_Calder says:
@CO: Yes, sir! Thank you, sir.

Shinar says:
CSO: What do you want to know?

CMO_Starr says:
@SO:  ::smiles:: It helps that we are very close.  Is there anyway the two of you could join again?

XO_Jude says:
Shinar:   I have medical training....If you release this bubble,  I can take care of that problem.... I have no love for you,  but I've taken an oath,  and I am concerned for Selan's body

TO_Calder says:
@CIV: Thank you. Let’s hope this turns out better than the last time we were here together.

CO_Miller says:
@TO:  As soon as this is over, we will make it official.

SO_Nes says:
@CO: I have some data on the Norkan System, do you wish to hear it?

CSOTsalea says:
::notes the blood::  Shinar: what is it?

SO_Nes says:
@CMO: It's possible.

TO_Calder says:
@CO: ::strong voice: Yes, sir! 

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Yes Shania, by all means!

CO_Miller says:
@::nods at Ian::

FCO-Starr says:
@::turns and winks at Calder::

CMO_Starr says:
@TO:  Congratulations ::over hearing the CO's Comment::

CIVlecara says:
@CO: By all means.. although I don't see what we could do to get sent to the brig this time

SO_Nes says:
@CO: The Norkan System has two planets, Norkan III discovered in the1600s and Norkan IV in the 1900s.

TO_Calder says:
@CMO: Thank you, ::nods::

FCO-Starr says:
@CMO: Sis, the headache is returning, can you fix it?::grins::

SO_Nes says:
@CO: Sorry, they were the only 2 inhabited planets. ::grins::

CSOTsalea says:
Shinar:  What exactly is the Algernon device.  you have explained your intended use of it, but not what it is.

FCO-Starr says:
@ ~~~~Tsalea, we are in pursuit, can you hear me? ~~~~

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Can you determine which planet the Scorpius is headed for?

Shinar says:
::Looses smile:: XO: It's not my problem. It's this body's. I'm taking in psionic energy from the Astral Plane. However, too much does cause damage to... this body.

Shinar says:
XO: Not that I'm going to need use of it soon.

CMO_Starr says:
@::gets the hypo out and gives an injection to the FCO::   FCO:  There that should help sis.

SO_Nes says:
@CO: Trying to determine that now sir.

XO_Jude says:
Shinar:  we should at least maintain it long enough for you to carry out your plan?

FCO-Starr says:
@::smiles up at her sister in law, but continues with the mental communication::

TO_Calder says:
@::checks to make sure that Lecaran hasn't made any changes to the weapons since he was here last::

Shinar says:
::Nods:: XO: Really, Commander, do you think I am going to let you out?

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, I am still being blocked::checks her console::

SO_Nes says:
@CO: No luck as yet sir, they are only entering the system now.

FCO-Starr says:
@::adjusts course slightly::

CIVlecara says:
@::notices what Calder is doing::  TO: actually, I have restocked our torpedo supply, recalibrated the phasers and made some minor adjustments to the torpedo systems, but that is about it

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Perhaps you should try again a little later.  Give yourself some time to rest.

Shinar says:
CSO: I thought I got the point out that the device would be used to destroy all of your reality, and create mine? What else is there to know... not that you could make use of any more knowledge.

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, I am fine.  The CMO is checking me and this may be our only hope at the present time.

SO_Nes says:
@FCO: We could always join together again.

TO_Calder says:
@CIV: ::laughs:: Is that all? It looks good, we held our own before, I hope we can do so again.

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  It frustrates me to no end not knowing what is going on with the Scorpius!

CSOTsalea says:
Shinar:  What was its original intent?  Where did it come from?

CMO_Starr says:
FCO:  I can only give you three more shots of the Asinolyathin, Sis.

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: I know Sir, but I will continue with your permission?

FCO-Starr says:
@CMO: Thanks Sis, I will be careful.

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Permission granted.

CMO_Starr says:
@FCO:  Maybe if All the telepaths on board linked the strength would be stronger and you can reach her?

FCO-Starr says:
@CMO: Sis, I am going to borrow part of your mental energy.  Is that all right with you?

Shinar says:
::Starts walking around the bridge, glancing once in a while at the XO and CSO in the bubble:: CSO: I am not entirely sure of what race built it. But it was supposedly built to be used for the good of the galaxy... modifying matter and planets was what it was originally used for. Until someone apparently used it for... different reasons.

Shinar says:
CSO: After that, it was supposedly hidden away.

CMO_Starr says:
@FCO:  Now that is a stupid question.  ::smiles:: take what you need if it will help

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Shania, any progress yet?

FCO-Starr says:
@::connects mentally with her sister::

CIVlecara says:
@TO: Yeah, we should be able to.. This ship has survived 30+ major battles, 3 overhauls and a few impulsive commanders, as well as the Klingon civil war.. I think she'll stay together a little longer

CMO_Starr says:
@::feels the connection::

SO_Nes says:
@CO: No, the Scorpius could be heading to either of those planets, or somewhere else entirely.

FCO-Starr says:
@SO: Shania, may I use some of your energy as well?

CSOTsalea says:
CSO:  so it was originally for terraforming.  How was it used otherwise?

SO_Nes says:
@FCO: Go ahead.

Shinar says:
CSO: Terraforming. You could put it that way...

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  As soon as you get that information, relay it to Troi.

FCO-Starr says:
@::nods at the SO, and begins to contact T and the XO::

SO_Nes says:
@FCO: Just be careful what you tap into, you might hit the telekinetic part of my abilities.

CIVlecara says:
@::sitting at OPS on the Ki'Paq::

SO_Nes says:
@CO: Yes sir.

TO_Calder says:
@CIV: It better, we are all counting on it. ::pokes in a series of touches on the pad:: What do you think of this targeting schematic?

Shinar says:
CSO: When the race was threatened by other races, it would be... on occasion... used to wipe the race from existence.

XO_Jude says:
::Uses voice commands to access computer,  and shut down the warp drive,   trusting the CSO  to use her own command codes to confirm my own.

FCO-Starr says:
@SO: I will Shania, though at this point, I would love to throw something at Shinar!

SO_Nes says:
@::feels the connection::

CMO_Starr says:
@::setups the tricorder to monitor all of them::

CSOTsalea says:
::quickly adds command codes to XO::

SO_Nes says:
@::smiles at the FCO's comment::

CO_Miller says:
@TO:  Ian, what is our weapons status?  We'll probably need as much as we can get when we reach the Scorpius.

CMO_Starr says:
@::Sets the audible alarm for dangerous levels::FCO:  I'm ready when you are.

FCO-Starr says:
@ ~~~~Jude, can you hear me?  We are not far behind the Scorpius. ~~~~

Shinar says:
::Telepathically hears XO's intentions:: XO: Uh uh uh... I wiped all of command code functions from the computer when I took over the vessel. The computer no longer recognizes you, Commander.

XO_Jude says:
::opens his mind for a mind meld with the CSO,  to resist any action on Shinar's part,  and jointly forces the bubble to POP

TO_Calder says:
 @CO: Shields ready, phasers/disrupters ready, torpedoes ready. All systems available at your command, sir.

CIVlecara says:
@TO: looks good.. It does seem to me that we would function more efficiently with one of us at beam weapons and one at torpedoes, but I’ll respect the captain’s wishes.. other than that, the schematic looks as good as they get

CO_Miller says:
@TO:  Acknowledged.  Thank you Ian.

TO_Calder says:
@CIV: Your ship, I think we should install these as soon as we get to a facility that will allow us to work on the hull.

TO_Calder says:
@CO: Certainly, sir.

Shinar says:
::Watches as the bubble fluctuates and then goes back to normal::

CO_Miller says:
@CEO:  T'Paula, how are the engines looking?

FCO-Starr says:
@ ~~~~Tsalea, can you hear me?  We will be there shortly, do not give up hope ~~~~

CSOTsalea says:
::Looks at the commander with a nod.  ~~~~XO:  We need to wear him down.  He is burning out that body~~~~

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Sir, I know you strongly protest to the use of the cloaking device, but I must inform you that this ship is capable of firing while cloaked, at least for a limited amount of time.. we would fare considerably better against the S if we used those systems to their full potential

Shinar says:
::Grins:: CSO/XO: Nice try. I applaud you two... you have done well in resisting me. Well, not entirely well... but better than others have.

XO_Jude says:
~~~~CSO:  Let's use this melding to contact Selan

SO_Nes says:
@::tries to keep her frustration out of the link::

CSOTsalea says:
~~~~XO:  There is one other I can contact~~~~

FCO-Starr says:
@:: Picks up what she thinks is the XO's voice::

Shinar says:
CSO/XO: Now, if you excuse me... I shall "retire" to the Captain's Ready Room. ::Glances at the dozen or so security officers on the bridge:: Sec. Officers: Watch them. If they try to escape, or do... stun them.

XO_Jude says:
~~~~Make it so!~~~~

FCO-Starr says:
@ ~~~~XO, Sir, I can hear you, what is your location? ~~~~

XO_Jude says:
~~~~CSO:  I'll assist the best that I can~~~~

Shinar says:
::Turns, and walks over to the Ready Room, and enters::

CSOTsalea says:
~~~~Harmony, hear me little one~~~~

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  This is the last time I will inform you, but I will not intentionally use the cloaking device and go against the rules of SF!  But unintentionally........

CSOTsalea says:
::Makes a picture in her mind of a path way for Harmony to follow to engineering::

Shinar says:
<Hypnotized Sec. Officers> ::Form a guarding line around the bubble, raising their phaser rifles. Just in case::

TO_Calder says:
@CO: Sir, the control for the cloaking device just jammed, should I ... repair it?

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Well.. if that's your opinion... I know you wouldn't like this, but if you gave up command back to me, then this is once again a private vessel, and I have a Klingon citizenship, so technically, it would be legal

CEOTPaula says:
@*CO*: Engines are...good, overall.

XO_Jude says:
~~~~FCO:  We're on our way to the Norkan system,  "Shinar,"  Selan's evil subconscious alter ego,  is after the Algernon device in order to destroy our reality,  and create one more to his own liking.... an "astral" reality....~~~~

CO_Miller says:
@::nods at Ian::

FCO-Starr says:
@::rests for a moment, then opens her eyes::

CO_Miller says:
@*CEO*:  Thank you T'Paula.

TO_Calder says:
@::fiddles with the console a bit::

Shinar says:
::Sits in Ready Room chair, and closes his eyes. Suddenly opens them as he hears the XO contacting the FCO:: Well, he finally managed to do it.

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, I have just heard from the XO, he is indeed heading to the system Norkan and he is looking for the Algernon devise!

CO_Miller says:
@::hears what Lecaran says, but ignores the comment::

XO_Jude says:
~~~~FCO:  We've done all we can telepathically~~~~

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  The Algernon device!  Are they allright at this point?

FCO-Starr says:
@ ~~~~ XO, we are right behind you, we will be there shortly ~~~~

XO_Jude says:
~~~~FCO:   We're trapped behind some sort of psionic force field~~~~~

TO_Calder says:
@CO: Sir... I don't think I got it fixed right, we are cloaking.

Shinar says:
::Cuts into the conversation:: ~~~~XO/FCO: I applaud both of you. You, Ms. Starr, for your excellent success in contacting the XO. XO: You, for still disobeying me... and threatening your own life.~~~~

CSOTsalea says:
::gently guides Harmony::

FCO-Starr says:
@ ~~~~ XO, Sir, Have you thought of the bubble with love, changing the mental energy that is making it? ~~~~

SO_Nes says:
@::sends a reminder of the Bee People's activities through the link::

CO_Miller says:
@TO:  I'm sure you'll give it a good looking over!

TO_Calder says:
@CO: Yes sir... but I am not an engineer, I doubt I can fix it easily. 

Shinar says:
~~~~FCO: Now, if you don't mind...~~~~ ::Sends psionic pulse of energy to hit the FCO::

FCO-Starr says:
@::senses the energy coming and breaks the link::

Shinar says:
~~~~FCO: I am currently busy.~~~~

CO_Miller says:
@TO:  Whatever it takes Ian.  ::grins::

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Sir, I believe that our weapons systems would work better and more efficiently if beam weapons and torpedo based weapons were each handled separately by me and the TO.. but of course it is up to you

Shinar says:
::To himself:: Smart girl... she broke off the link.

XO_Jude says:
~~~~Shinar:   You are no threat to me..... I know Selan too well.....even in his current condition,  he would never harm me,    and despite your wild delusions,  Selan is in control here~~~~

CSOTsalea says:
::shows Harmony a mental picture of some ODN cables to break through::

TO_Calder says:
@::begins taking apart that section of the console::

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, Shinar is aware of us.  He caught me talking with the XO and I broke the link before he could harm me.

Shinar says:
<Selan> ::Both the XO and CSO hear his voice... only it is a child's voice they hear:: Help me... please.. help me... ::Contact is lost::

CMO_Starr says:
@::feels the link drop::  FCO: You ok? ::runs the tricorder over her to be safe::

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  Put it in motion Mr. Lecaran.

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Thank you sir

SO_Nes says:
@::notices the headache is slightly less than last time, thinks 'Could this mean I'm getting use to telepathic contact?'::

XO_Jude says:
~~~~Selan is alive in there Shinar,  and you know it....  he's a threat to you ,   but you can't exist without him.....

CSOTsalea says:
::looks over at the XO to verify what she heard::

FCO-Starr says:
@CMO: Yes Sir, but had I stayed connected I am afraid he would have fried my brain::frowns but is more determined than ever::

CIVlecara says:
@TO: Which would you prefer? Beam weapons or torpedoes based weapons?

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Does he know we are in pursuit?

Shinar says:
<Hypnotized Engineer> ::Sees an animal wandering Engineering::

XO_Jude says:
::Nods in confirmation to the CSO::

TO_Calder says:
@CIV: You ship, your choice. I've got to... fix the cloaking device button ::nods slightly::

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: I don't think so Sir, but at this point, I wouldn't assume anything!

CMO_Starr says:
@SO:  This will help with the slight headache ::give her a hypo::

SO_Nes says:
@CMO: Thanx, who knows, if I keep this up longer I may not have the headaches.

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Agreed Troi.

Shinar says:
<Hypnotized Engineer> ::Thought he saw an animal, however, it disappeared, brings out a tricorder::

CMO_Starr says:
@::gives herself a hypo also: :  SO:  I get them after prolong contact with Troi. or if I haven't used my telepathy in a Long time.  ::smiles::  FCO:  Sis?

CIVlecara says:
@TO: Yeah, I understand, but I’ve got to warn you that we can only fire so long cloaked without overloading.. so perhaps the cloak control should.. unstick at tactically sound moment

FCO-Starr says:
@CMO: Yes Sis?

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  How soon before we can catch up with the Scorpius?

CMO_Starr says:
FCO:  How is your headache?

Shinar says:
<Hyp. Engineer> ::Taps Comm.:: *Shinar* Master. I thought I detected an animal, however, I can no longer see it... and it does not come up on my tricorder.

TO_Calder says:
@CIV: ::nods:: understood. ::smiles somewhat knowingly::

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, at this speed, another 30 minutes at least!

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Acknowledged.

CSOTsalea says:
::senses Harmony breaking through the ODN cable and looks over at the console::

Shinar says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: *Engineer* An animal? Go back to your work.

CIVlecara says:
@TO: I am transferring energy weapon control back to my console.. you have torpedo control

Shinar says:
::Wonders how an animal would have gotten into Engineering. Stands up, and exits onto the bridge::

TO_Calder says:
@CIV: Understood. Transfer confirmed, I have torpedo control.

SO_Nes says:
@::still unable to determine the destination of the Scorpius::

FCO-Starr says:
@*CEO*: T'Paula, can we have any more speed?

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Is there any way you can come up with as much information as possible about Shinar?

CSOTsalea says:
::pictures another cable within a jeffries tube for Harmony to break through::

Shinar says:
::Eyes glow red, and he walks up to the bubble:: XO/CSO: What have you done?

XO_Jude says:
Sends a telepathic message to Abbot the dog,  hoping that Abbot will distract anyone

CEOTPaula says:
@*FCO*: Uncertain, ma'am.  I am attempting to increase the efficiency of the warp drive, but these systems are less than familiar.

CSOTsalea says:
::looks at Shinar::  Shinar: for the moment we have done nothing

SO_Nes says:
@CO: I don't know, it's highly unlikely he'd be in any databanks.

CIVlecara says:
@:: Begins recalibrating the energy weapon systems to function optimally in conjunction with his phelarr and bionic eye::

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  It won't hurt to try.

XO_Jude says:
::Knows that Abbot,  unlike Harmony,  is easily detectable,  even without a tricorder::

Shinar says:
CSO: You have been telepathically contacting someone. I am not a fool.

SO_Nes says:
@CO: Aye sir. ::begins to search::

Shinar says:
::Telepathically breaks through all of T'salea's telepathic defenses to search her mind::

XO_Jude says:
Shinar:   We've been telepathically trying to contact half the known universe.....

CIVlecara says:
@:: runs a few last minute tests on the system::

Shinar says:
<Hyp. FCO> ::Turns to Shinar:: We have entered the Norkan system, master.

XO_Jude says:
::Uses every force of his telepathic capacity to  rupture the bubble and lunge at Selan

FCO-Starr says:
@*CEO*: Thank you, let me know when I can have more power to the engines.

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<Scorpius enters the Norkan System>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Shinar says:
::Looks surprised for a moment::

CEOTPaula says:
@*FCO*: Yes ma'am.

Shinar says:
<Sec. Officers> ::Stun the XO::

CSOTsalea says:
::falls to her knees as she resists Shinar::

XO_Jude says:
::Brushes of the psionic force of Shinar,  and lunges for him again::

TO_Calder says:
@::sets up for a full scale attack upon a superior vessel... an attack that he is nearly certain they will not win::

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Any updates on the Scorpius?

SO_Nes says:
@CO: No.

SO_Nes says:
@CMO: I am going to contact T, I believe something is happening.

CMO_Starr says:
@SO:  Is there anything I can do to help.

CO_Miller says:
@::nods with a slight frown::

Shinar says:
::Steps away from the XO, as the Sec. Officers deal with him:: FCO: Drop to impulse, and head for Norkan III.

SO_Nes says:
::begins trying to contact T::

SO_Nes says:
::shakes her head at the CMO::

CMO_Starr says:
CIV:  Is there a replicator on board?

CSOTsalea says:
::takes the mental pain and tries to deflect it back at Shinar::

SO_Nes says:
::senses the XOs anger:: ~~~XO, what has he done?~~~

CIVlecara says:
@FCO: I just wanted to let you know.. you can tell the captain if you deem it necessary.. that just in case it is necessary, I have a .. self-destruct/kamikaze maneuver programmed into the flight computer.. let us just hope it doesn't come to that.

Shinar says:
::Angry, telekinetically hurls the XO back with the CSO, and resumes the bubble, using more power this time::

CIVlecara says:
@CMO: Yes, as a matter of fact there is.. down those stairs and on the first door to your left.. just inside the door

FCO-Starr says:
@CIV: I think you should report that to the CO.

CIVlecara says:
@CO: I just wanted to let you know... that just in case it is necessary, I have a .. self-destruct/kamikaze maneuver programmed into the flight computer...we do have escape pods... let us just hope it doesn't come to that.

CSOTsalea says:
::feeling bruised, gently checks to see that Jude is all right::

Shinar says:
<Hyp. FCO> ::Brings the Scorpius into orbit around Norkan III::

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  If there is a replicator onboard.  I can replicate a drug called Kironide.  It increases one's natural telekinetic powers.  without any side effects.  I could give it to the FCO and the SO.

ACTION:
<<<<<Scorpius enters a very high orbit around Norkan III>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  You will not have to use it......trust me!

CMO_Starr says:
@CIV:  Thank you.

TO_Calder says:
@CMO: Kwy Letan, one of the security personnel with us is also a capable telepath.

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, the Scorpius has altered course slightly, looks like they are heading to Norkan III.

CO_Miller says:
@CMO:  You are the doctor.  If you see that it is not a threat, then you may use it.

Shinar says:
XO/CSO: Norkan III. A quite pre-warp civilization. Total population of the planet, 2 billion.

XO_Jude says:
::Groggy from the stun and the psionic energy that my body is absorbing...::Self it's time to try another approach....we need to weaken Shinar.

CSOTsalea says:
::slowly stands up and looks over at the various readings::

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Set course and follow!

CIVlecara says:
@CMO: That would theoretically work.. but I doubt I have that drug programmed into the replicator.. it is a controlled substance.. but maybe if I look in my .. personal databanks  ;)

CMO_Starr says:
@CO:  Thank you.  ::goes to where the replicator is and programs the drug::

CSOTsalea says:
Shinar:  Why here?  why would one hide such a device here?

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Aye Sir, course laid in and following.

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Aye, sir, just keeping you informed

SO_Nes says:
@~~~Sir? Can you hear me?~~~

CO_Miller says:
@::nods at Lecaran::

XO_Jude says:
~~~SO:  We've taken quite a beating mentally and physically!!!~~~~

CMO_Starr says:
@CIV:  To you yes a controlled substance.  to me not

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  ETA for rendezvous?

Shinar says:
::Grins evilly:: CSO: You'll see.

CSOTsalea says:
::sends a sense of urgency to Harmony::

SO_Nes says:
@::feels some of the XOs pain, begins to get angry:: XO:~~~Where is Shinar, what is he doing now?~~~

XO_Jude says:
~~~~SO:   I need you to focus on me....see what I see,  hear what I hear....and concentrate on what I see~~~~

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: ETA 15 minutes. Sir I suggest we go to red!

Shinar says:
::Turns to the viewscreen and looks at the planet. Raises his hands, as he body begins to glow with psionic energy::

SO_Nes says:
@::does as the XO asks::

CMO_Starr says:
@::gets the drug from the replicator and walks back to the bridge::

CO_Miller says:
@TO:  Red alert!

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<Norkan III Explodes !!....fragments disperse and dissolve into atoms>>>>>>>>>>>>>

TO_Calder says:
@CO: Yes, sir. We are still cloaked and I have made little progress in rectifying the situation, sir. ::punches up red alert::

CO_Miller says:
@SO:  Shania, can you bring up a map of the system the Scorpius has entered?

SO_Nes says:
@::sees what is happening on the Bridge::

CIVlecara says:
@CMO: Could I have a hypospray of that? just in case, I mean

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, Norkan III has just exploded!

CO_Miller says:
@::nods with an ever so slightly evil grin back at Ian::

CSOTsalea says:
::a wave of surprise passes through her::

XO_Jude says:
Focuses on the navigational controls,  and mentally pictures every link with from those controls to warp drive::

Algernon says:
::Massive psionic waves stir the fabric of space......heard half way across the galaxy:; WHO HAS AWOKEN ME !!!!???

Shinar says:
::Collapses for a moment::

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Exploded?  How?

CMO_Starr says:
;;prepare the hypo::  CIV;  Only if the CO approves it.

FCO-Starr says:
@::feels the wave and almost falls out of her chair::

SO_Nes says:
@::wonders who the voice belongs to::

ACTION:
<<<<< A Large.....object appears........decahedron>>>>>>

CSOTsalea says:
::looks at Shinar and the bubble collapsed::

Shinar says:
::Turns to the now free XO and CSO:: Jude... T'salea... get out of heerrrrr-arrrgghg....!!!!

XO_Jude says:
~~~~SO:  Telekinetically rips apart all those navigational controls ~~~~

CMO_Starr says:
::Gives the FCO, SO and the Security Officer the shot:: ALL:  this will only last for two hours.

CIVlecara says:
@CMO: of course, as always...  ::Feels the immense mental pain of the psionic shockwave..and is happy that his power haven't been enhanced for the moment::

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, sensors don't give any details but I have just experienced a burst pisonic energy!

Shinar says:
::Suddenly, stands up, eyes glowing. Shinar is back::

SO_Nes says:
@::'willing to try anything once', sends telekinetic energy at the navigational controls::

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  We will just have to get a closer look.

TO_Calder says:
@::targets whatever it is with torpedoes::

Shinar says:
Well... well... well... you are free, now aren't you.

SO_Nes says:
@::sparks fly as the navigational controls are successfully destroyed::

CSOTsalea says:
::closing the TL door behind her taps for engineering::

CIVlecara says:
@CO: so have I, sir

Algernon says:
<<<<<feels an astral psionic wave coming from Scorpius.....approaches the ship>>>>>>

FCO-Starr says:
@CMO: Sis, I need a stimulant, now!

CIVlecara says:
@::targets phasers and disrupters on the .. object::

XO_Jude says:
::Watches as the navigational controls explode and knows that warp drive is down,....grabs Tsalea by the hand and runs for the turbo lift::

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, an object has just appeared where the planet was.

Shinar says:
::Ignores the running CSO and XO:: Time to go, you two.

Host CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  What type of object Troi?

XO_Jude says:
~~~~TRIO:   Beam us out of here!!!!~~~~~

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, I have never seen anything like it.  The computer is trying to match now.

CSOTsalea says:
XO:  Commander we can not leave now.

SO_Nes says:
@FCO: You need to beam the XO and CSO aboard now.

CO_Miller says:
@::goes over and stands behind Troi::

ACTION:
<<<<<<<suddenly....Shinar...the XO and CSO find themselves on the device.....>>>>>>>

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, the XO said to beam he and Tsalea off the S.  Orders Sir?

CSOTsalea says:
::looks around in frustration::

CSOTsalea says:
Shinar:  What is this place?

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  By all means, but have them in a containment field.

Shinar says:
::Looks around at the ancient technology in awe::

CIVlecara says:
@:: hears the message too, and as he is at OPS, proceeds with the transport::

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, they are no longer on the Scorpius.

CIVlecara says:
@::discovers that they aren’t there anymore::

CSOTsalea says:
XO:  Commander are you all right?

Shinar says:
::Amazed:: CSO: It is the Algernon Device.

SO_Nes says:
@XO:~~~Is this the Algernon device?~~~

ACTION:
<<<<<the device is glowing...pulsing.....waves that feel like...breathing>>>>>>>

XO_Jude says:
~~~~SO:   I need your efforts again....   focus with me... we are inside what I assume to be the Algernon Device~~~~

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Where have they been taken to?  Can we regain control of the Scorpius?

CSOTsalea says:
Shinar:  this place has the appearance of great antiquity.  But it tells me little more at the moment.

SO_Nes says:
@XO:~~~Yes sir.~~~::focuses::

TO_Calder says:
@::continues to tune the weapons lock::

XO_Jude says:
CSO:    I'm not sure.... but I think I'm about to break a promise to Captain Alexander.

SO_Nes says:
@::struggles to speak:: FCO: They are in the Algernon Device.

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, their lifesigns are now on the devise, and it is the Algernon devise.

CSOTsalea says:
::nods at XO::

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<All power on Scorpius except life support goes down>>>>>>

CSOTsalea says:
::begins to closely examine the room::

XO_Jude says:
::Looks for what appears to be the access to power  sources of the Device::

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  Can we get them out of there?

XO_Jude says:
~~~~SO:  What do you see?~~~~

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, we are not within transporter range!

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: LRS have barely detected them.

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  How soon before we are?

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Sir! the Scorpius' shields are down.. I can return you to it at your convenience..

SO_Nes says:
@XO:~~~Ancient technology, you appear to be in a room of some kind.~~~

XO_Jude says:
CSO:   Are you ready to do something that will shorten your life span a bit?

TO_Calder says:
@CO: Cloaking button repaired I think, sir.

CIVlecara says:
@CO: perhaps it would be better suited against that ..device

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<<<<Power goes down on Ki’paq, except life support as they enter the system>>>>>>>

CSOTsalea says:
::nods acceptance to the XO::

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, should we go to the Scorpius or try and rescue the XO and CSO?

CEOTPaula says:
@*CO*: We've just lost all power.

XO_Jude says:
~~~~SO:  Does that look like the control panel of this thing?~~~~

TO_Calder says:
@CO: However, sir, I don't think we will need it as the cloak just fell... so did torpedo launchers.....

FCO-Starr says:
@::watch as the emergency lighting comes on::

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  I want Jude and Tsalea back!

Host Algernon says:
ALL: Why have I been awakened !!!

CSOTsalea says:
::looks quietly in fascination of finding something totally outside of her knowledge::

XO_Jude says:
~~~~SO:   Can you ask the FCO to link with us?~~~~

SO_Nes says:
@XO:~~~I don't know if it is though, if we destroy it will it do more damage? I'll try.~~~

CSOTsalea says:
::raises eyebrow at the new voice::

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  Mr. Lecaran, what has happened?

Shinar says:
::Turns around:: Algernon Device: It is said that who controls... controls everything. I am here... to control you.

SO_Nes says:
@FCO: Could you join our link? The XO is hoping we can destroy the device.

CIVlecara says:
@CO: It seems.. we have lost all power but life support, sir.. Cause.. unknown

CSOTsalea says:
Algernon:  Who and what are you?

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, may I join with the SO?

Algernon says:
Whomever: It is "I" who control !!

SO_Nes says:
@::rubs her temple::

CO_Miller says:
@FCO:  If it will help destroy the device, by all means!

FCO-Starr says:
@CO: Sir, can you take over the helm?

CSOTsalea says:
Algernon:  what do you control?

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  How soon before we can get systems back online?

ACTION:
<<<<<<<<<<Norkan III Suddenly.....reintegrates........like nothing happened !!>>>>>>>

FCO-Starr says:
@::walks back to the SO and joins with her mentally::

CO_Miller says:
@::nods at Troi and takes a seat at helm::

CMO_Starr says:
@::Sees the SO rubbing her temple and gives her a mild hypo for the pain::

XO_Jude says:
::  Focuses on the control systems of the Algernon device and indicates that the SO  may begin to rip things apart telekinetically.....also reaches out for the CSO with one hand,  and fidgets with a small device that never leaves his pocket::

FCO-Starr says:
@~~~~ Shania, I am ready ~~~~

SO_Nes says:
@::smiles somewhat unfocusedly at the CMO::

CIVlecara says:
@CO: I'm not sure, sir, but it seems that Scorpius has been affected similarly.. I should have an estimate from engineering soon

CMO_Starr says:
@::Continues to monitor their vitals::

CSOTsalea says:
::acknowledges the XO as she continues to ask questions::

CO_Miller says:
@CIV:  The sooner the better, Mr. Lecaran!

CIVlecara says:
@CO: Understood, sir

XO_Jude says:
~~~~CSO:  Remember the dimensional shift transporter that I promised CO Alexander I wouldn't use again?

SO_Nes says:
@FCO/XO: ~~~Here we go!~~~ ::begins to rip the controls apart with her telekinetic energy::

Shinar says:
::Turns around, with angered eyes, and throws the XO away from the CSO, snatching the dimensional shift from his hand::

CSOTsalea says:
::nods to Jude::

FCO-Starr says:
@::lends all her energy to Shania::

XO_Jude says:
~~~~CSO:   I'm going to break that promise~~~~

ACTION:
<<<<<an impenetrable type of forcefield encapsulates the Algernon device......waves of some type of psionic scanning penetrates the galaxy.......>>>>>>>

Shinar says:
::The shift flies into Shinar's hand::

CSOTsalea says:
::looks over at Shinar with a glint in her eyes::

CO_Miller says:
@CMO:  If it looks like they are in trouble, I want them brought out of it.....understood?

SO_Nes says:
@XO:~~~Should I try to get that device back from Shinar?~~~

Shinar says:
::Senses the forcefield:: This wouldn't help in the first place... the device is now surrounded by a forcefield. One that not even this could penetrate.

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  Yes Sir,  I already have a hypo waiting for that very reason.  ::Concerned for the group::

FCO-Starr says:
@ ~~~~Yes Shania, we can get it from him together! ~~~~

ACTION:
<<<<<Scorpius' and Kipaqs' computers start massive downloading......>>>>>>

CO_Miller says:
@CMO:  Thank you Michaela.

SO_Nes says:
@::focuses on the device in Shinar's hand, watches it fly to the XO's::

FCO-Starr says:
@::takes a deep breath and helps Shania wrest the devise from Shinar's grip::

CO_Miller says:
@::notices the downloading::  All:  What the........?

CMO_Starr says:
CO:  You're welcome ::continues monitoring, occasionally give the FCO and the SO a booster hypo of the Kironide::

Shinar says:
::Watches as the device flies over into the XO's hand again:: Why that little... blasted... Trill.

XO_Jude says:
Grabs the CSO's hand as the device flies back into his own.... activates the device
