U.S.S. Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate 10602.16

Mission # 241

The crew of the valiant USS Sharikahr have been traveling toward the location of the Har-Magedd colony over the past 12 hours at high warp. After being sent on a wild goose chase more then once, Captain Horn decided that it was time to formulate a plan to fix this problem.

It seemed that no matter happened Starfleet Command has looked toward the Sharikahr to fix the universe. How could command expect for one Norway Class vessel to defeat the Borg, Breen, Dominion, and the Gorn?

After discussing several options with the entire crew, Captain Horn decided that it was time to take the front seat and return to the Har-Magedd colony where this entire event took place. It was the crew's hope that they could find a way to reverse this somehow.

The Sharikahr is now entering the Xavian Sector where they hope this will all end. Will they succeed? Will the colony or the Victory be there to help them?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::down in science, looking through the replicated artifacts::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::on the bridge at the Flight Station and sends a message to the CO that they are arriving in the Xavian Sector::

EO_Ens_Dag says:
::enters the bridge after having a long nap and approaches the engineering station::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::entering the Bridge, looking slightly haggard from her uneasy sleep::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::laying on a biobed in Sickbay, undergoing another scan::

EO_Ens_Dag says:
::sits down at the engineering station and brings up the system monitors::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::while interesting, these 'carbon copies' appeared to be worthless::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::in his quarters, finishing up dinner after Ensign Mills almost dragged him off the bridge::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::leaves the Ready Room and steps out onto the bridge:: All: Report.

ACTION: The Sharikahr is fifteen minutes out from the last known location of the Har-Magedd colony.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::sitting at the primary tactical station, running maximum long range scans::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: We are 15 minutes from the colony.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: Sounds like scanning range to me. ::takes her seat::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
*Senior Staff*: All senior officers to the bridge please.  We are arriving at our destination.  Horn out.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::puts his dishes in the recycler, then heads for his office... no, scratch that, apparently the bridge::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
*CO*: Captain, there is nothing I can get from the copies of the artifacts the crew described.  It is not enough data... it is too easy for people to miss details under duress and there was no way to tell what the original material was made of.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Aye, Long range scanners on maximum ma'am.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::ties his console into the science sensors to increase his range::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
*CO*: On my way, Captain. ::calls a turbolift and steps in:: TL: Bridge.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::looks at the senior MO on duty to see if he is fit for duty::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::tossing one of them aside, she stands and heads out for the room for the nearest turbolift::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::steps over to her chair and sits::

Host Computer says:
CSO: Lieutenant, there is nothing on long range sensors regarding the Har-Magedd colony.

EO_Ens_Dag says:
::smiles, noting that all systems are reporting normal::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
*CSO*: Understood, come on back to the bridge, Lieutenant, perhaps we can find something up here.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::steps into the lift:: Computer: Computer, Bridge.

MO_Langley says:
::nods to the CMO:: CMO: You're clear for duty.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Everything okay?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
*CO*: I should be there shortly.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::steps out of the turbolift, and heads for the tactical station, whilst Ensign Mills begins a scan for either the colony, or the Victory::

Host Computer says:
CSO: Bridge it is. ::has the turbolift move::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
::sitting at OPS listening for a variation in the comm traffic::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer: Computer, there is no evidence of a planetary body near by?

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::gets up without a moment's hesitation and heads for the TL::

Host Computer says:
CSO: Negative. There is nothing there... only empty space.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CO: I'm fine Captain ::smiles::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Did Falor leave behind the device he used to contact the Victory?

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::enters the turbolift and requests the Bridge::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer: Computer, that was not the question.  ::as the lift stops, she pauses a moment to glance before stepping onto the bridge::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Captain I'm picking up a faint Warp signature on LRS.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::stands just behind and to the left of where Mills works, noting CPO Nielson at the secondary station::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CIV: Put the area on the screen.

Host Computer says:
CMO: Are you sure you want to go up there? ::pauses:: CSO: There is no evidence to support a planet was ever there.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
::puts the area in question on the view screen::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::blinks once, then clears his throat:: CO: Captain, I've confirmed the signature. It appears to be Federation... with a degree of Borg components.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: It appears to be a Borgified Federation ship.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::growls angrily:: Computer: I said the Bridge!

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
::doesn't believe her eyes::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CO: Here it is ::opens her hand to reveal the crystal::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::inputs her command codes:: Computer: Computer, that is not possible.

Host Computer says:
CMO: Fine.. fine. ::moves the turbolift:: CMO: You are rather grouchy. Perhaps a session with the Counselor is in order?

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
Computer: What are you, a Shrink?

Host Computer says:
CSO: Those are the results.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: Commander, you need to focus on the search pattern and let Tactical do the scans.  That is their job.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
Computer: Computer, if the planet had once been there, there would at least be trace evidence.  Unless it either never existed and was nothing more then some type of hologram, or it was some sort of large ship or it was slipped from this time and space and never was here to begin with.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CTO: See if you can find anything to identify that ship.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::runs a diagnostic on the weapons systems, then looks over his shoulder... Donavin nods to tell him to stay there, for now::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::steps out of the turbolift as it arrives on the bridge and makes his way to Science II::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Captain, that information helps me know what to do with the ship.

Host Computer says:
CMO: I am programmed in that fashion, yes. ::pauses:: CSO: There are many probabilities. Analyzing.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods to the captain, and moves to a secondary console to access the Starfleet database, cross-referencing the signature::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::rolls his eyes and shakes his head at the Computer::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: Commander, reporting scans are the job of Tactical.  If you would like to do that, I suggest you speak to the exec about cross training.  Now, concentrate on the search pattern as you were ordered.

ACTION: A Federation vessel enters the Xavian Sector at Warp 4, trailing plasma behind it.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::checks his display again:: CO: Captain, ship approaching at warp 4. It's Federation.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
CO: Reporting as ordered Ma'am.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO: What kind of debris are you finding from the planet?  It obviously isn't there. ::looks back at the empty screen::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I am tracking a Federation vessel entering the Xavian sector at warp four but she is trailing plasma behind her.  She has been hit sir.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Captain, as of the nonce, all reports suggest not only the planet is not there, but there is no evidence of it having been there.

EO_Ens_Dag says:
::continues to sit silently at the engineering station, going about his business::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir, that could be the destruction by the Borg or something else and I really don't want to think what.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: There ain't nothin' here Captain.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO: So, the planet we spent time on has disappeared.  Curiouser and curiouser...

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CMO: Doctor, join me in my Ready Room.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Counselor, see if you can find that stone and bring it to the bridge, please.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Then join the Doctor and myself.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::nods and walks into the Ready Room::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::wonders if the Captain even heard him... just shakes his head, monitoring the sensor display::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CO: Captain, I have it right here ::holds it up::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CIV: See if you find any communications from that ship.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Good, take it to the Ready Room, please.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: There is no evidence of its existence.  All bodies have a pull on their surroundings, some more then others depending on size, matter and distance.  I have no evidence of a lack of absence.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::goes to the Ready Room::

ACTION: The vessel.. identified as the Nitro... drops out of warp suddenly and hails the Sharikahr.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says: 
::just watches the doctor head to the ready room, and briefly has a thought of calling up a couple security folks... just in case::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::takes a seat in the RR and waits::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CTO: Let me know when you identify that ship.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: You have the bridge.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::enters the Ready Room::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CMO: Doctor, tell me what you remember of the Nitro.  Were you nearly assimilated while on board that vessel?

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::is sitting in a chair with a blank expression::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, now looking over his tactical officer's shoulder:: FCO: Commander, the ship incoming is identified as our good friend the Nitro.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
FCO: Sir, incoming hail.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CIV: Is it Borg?

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::vacates the seat as the CPO heads for the security office, anticipation of the red alert being called... Jacob takes the secondary seat::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
CO: There was nothing out of the ordinary on the Nitro Ma'am, other than they were a bit rude.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::looks worriedly at the CMO:: 

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
FCO: Not sure, sir, working on it now.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::scans the Nitro::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
FCO: It is a Federation signal.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CMO: Then how is it you came on board with Borg parts in your body?

ACTION: The Nitro continues to send hails to the Sharikahr on various different channels.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::pulls up a seat at the primary station, and attempts a tactical analysis of the Nitro::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
CO: I don't know. ::still has an expressionless stare::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::decides to put some distance between the Nitro and the Sharikahr just in case::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CIV: Well go ahead and put it on.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CMO: I want you to stay here and talk to the Counselor.  Perhaps the two of you can answer some of your questions.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Sharikahr, this is the Nitro.. come in please.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
FCO: Yes sir.  ::puts it on the view screen::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow as the CEO's voice sounds over the open channel::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::face lights up:: CO: Captain, Falor is close

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: I'll be contacting you shortly about the use of that stone.  For now, let's see what we can find out.  I have a feeling that's the Nitro out there...once again.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  I am reading 55 individuals.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: And that, ::nods to her:: proves it.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::tilts his head, unsure of what she means::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::returns to the bridge::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
COM: Nitro: This is the USS Sharikahr.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
FCO: I concur with the CSO.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CO: Also, ma'am I feel a strange emptiness, like something is missing that should be here

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CTO: Did that ship come from the same direction we did?

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@::smiles:: COM: Sharikahr: FCO: Commander Haynes.. its good to see you again. It's been.. a rather interesting day.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::sends a text message to the CIV:: "CIV: What is the normal crew complement?"

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::raises her hand to the FCO so she can speak to Falor::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::looks at the CNS, waiting::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
COM: Nitro: CEO: It is good to see you too, Falor. The Captain wants to speak to you.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Nitro: CEO: That's an understatement.  We were informed that you are now a member of the Borg.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::looks curiously at the telemetry she is reading and waits for the captain to finish her communication::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::runs a scan, and just shakes his head:: CO: Not according to their warp trail, Captain.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO: Verify we are where we were when this mess started.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@::nods in acknowledgment:: COM: Sharikahr: CO: Captain.. yes, I almost was. There were a few crew members here that had not been assimilated. If it weren't for them, well... my fate may have very well been different.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::notices his confusion:: CMO: Victory is telepathic which means I am too for the time being. I can feel Falor and he is close.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::doesn't say anything in response, just stares blankly::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CMO: Lieutenant, what is wrong?

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Nitro: CEO: So, why is the Nitro here?  Nobody knows we were coming back here.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Verified.  ::lowers her voice:: ...and one other fact of note, there is residual signature of the Borg, there are no lifesigns on the ship with Borg technology.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::just wants all this to be over::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
FCO: Her compliment is way below the normal crew compliment for an Akira class sir.  I would say about 55 and no more.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::answers quick and sharply:: CNS: Nothing.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::blinks:: CIV: 55... you're sure, I hope.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: I picked up the Sharikahr's warp trail on long range sensors and followed you back.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::sends another text message to the CIV:: "CIV: What is our crew complement and minimums required for skeleton crews for each vessel?"

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::looks shocked:: CMO: If we had time I'd take offense to that, but I believe the Captain needs us both on that Bridge right now.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Nitro: You followed us?  But you entered this section from a different direction, Lieutenant. ::is more than suspicious::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::shrugs and leaves his seat towards the door::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::continues to run his tactical scans, knowing full well there's ships out there who'd love to stop them.. even if the Nitro's no longer one of them::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@::sighs, almost disappointed:: COM: Sharikahr: CO: I know how this probably looks, considering the state of the quadrant. But I assure you, ma'am, I'm not Borg.. not even half.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CTO: That is the count I get by my empathy. I count 55 minds.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::half listening, begins to search the area using various energy waves::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::turns and starts to walk out, but smiles sympathetically back at the CMO:: CMO: You've been traumatized. I'll be glad to talk to you about it later.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Nitro: CEO: Falor, I would like to believe that but considering the doctor came home with the urge to assimilate us, I can't trust anybody that's been on that ship.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::does a triangulation of the nearby planetary bodies::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::compares the information with previous charts::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::turns to face the CNS:: CNS: I won't be there.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::glances briefly over to the CO, and just nods, fully intending to meet him with a security team if he beams over::

ACTION: The crystal in the Counselor's hand begins to emit a light glow.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@::sighs again, as his voice takes on somewhat of a pleading tone:: COM: Sharikahr: CO: Captain, please... beam me into a containment field in Sickbay if you have to.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::without thinking:: Crystal: Victory, is that you?

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::turns his back to the CNS and enters the Bridge::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Nitro: CEO: Actually, after the problems the doctor gave us, we'll transport you to the brig.  Once medical has cleared you I'll buy you a drink in the lounge.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::tenses as he sees the CMO leave the ready room, giving serious thought to putting him on his rear with a phaser shot::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::patiently works through the data, knowing that a negative was not conclusive evidence, though in this incident, it presented a strong case::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::wants so bad to go to her husband::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@::a smile grows across his face:: COM: Sharikahr: CO: Thank you, Captain.. I can't wait to return.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::cringes as he hears his name mentioned in that way, then takes a seat at Science II::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::exits the ready room quickly and enters the Bridge::

ACTION: As the crystal begins to glow a bit brighter, a strange anomaly begins to form where the colony once existed.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CTO: Take a team to the brig.  Medical will meet you there.

EO_Ens_Dag says:
::sits at the engineering station, bitter that Falor has returned::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::decides to reach out to her husband through their mental link:: ~~CMO: Logan how can I help you?~~

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::blinks::  CO: Captain... not meaning to interrupt, but I have an anomaly forming where the original planet was, just off our bow.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::transmits a message to Sickbay for a team to meet Tactical in the Brig::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::runs over to the CO:: CO: Captain, it's glowing ::shows the crystal::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::glances at his sensor display, then raises an eyebrow, but nods:: *Brig*: Arinoch to the Brig. I'm on my way with a team. Ready cell 3 for maximum containment.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CTO: When you are set, have the Transporter Chief bring Falor home.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::looking at her course sensors and notes something::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
~~FCO: I'm fine.~~

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: I'm ready when you are, Captain.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Um, Captain, something just popped up in our path.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Take it to the brig.  We are bringing Falor back.  He may be able to contact the Victory.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gets up and taps his badge again:: *SEC Team Alpha*: Team alpha, to the Brig... yesterday. ::nods to the Captain, and steps into the turbolift:: TL: Brig.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: Something as in a ship? Something as in a Planet?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::pulls back on the controls to avoid a collision course::

ACTION: The anomaly, which is a swirl of pinks, blues, purples, and greens begins to expand into planet size.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::puts it on the viewer::  CO: A planet ma'am, Har-Magedd I think.  ::astonished::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::looks cautiously happy:: CO: Ma'am is he...all right?

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CMO: Doctor, take care of Mr. Rodos then come back here.  I want to know what the Counselor helped you remember.  I'm sure you trusted her enough to speak with her.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CSO: At current rate, the anomaly will be approximately the size of the original planet.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gets the auditory nod from the Brig that the containment cell is ready, and steps out of the turbolift at the same time as his team, heading straight for the brig::

ACTION: The crystal's intensity increases and the Counselor begins to glow. She is lifted from the deck into the air in a swirl of bright lights.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO: What is it?

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::nods to the CO and leaves the Bridge for the Brig::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::sees the CNS:: CNS: Counselor, are you okay?

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
@::cuts the comm between the Sharikahr and the Nitro and stands up, nodding to his Nitro shipmates, thanking them::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::turns to scan the counselor::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO: What the hell is on my bridge?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::steps in, and he and his team draw their phasers, training them on the cell as he uses his free hand:: *Transporter Room*: Arinoch to Transporter Room 1. Transport Lieutenant Rodos to containment cell 3.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::instinctively draws his phaser, but... just waits, for now::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::exits the turbolift and heads to the Brig::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::looks up from her tricorder:: CO: I am reading the same energy signature as that recorded from the artifacts before things... changed.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::faces the crew and speaks in a voice clearly not hers:: All: The time has come for you to accept your fate

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: Sir something here in out of place. I still can't put my finger on it but it is all wrong.~~~

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: As for the anomaly, it appears that whatever it is, is capable of shifting phases.

ACTION: The energy around the Counselor begins to intensify as she speaks these words. Before long, the anomaly before the Sharikahr flashes in a wide ray of lights and the planet reappears in its proper place.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
~~~CIV: You are telling me this isn't normal?  What was your first clue, Lieutenant?~~~

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: Over my dead body.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
TO: Raise a force field around the Counselor, now.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::blinks:: CO: Captain, the planet...

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::materializes in the brig cell::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::glances down to make sure all information is being recorded for future reference::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: Get some distance between us.

ACTION: The crystal becomes dull and the Counselor falls to the deck, unconscious.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::nods, and with a single command, contains the counselor::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Working, Captain, working. ::Doing what she can.::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
::moves to the Counselor's side:: CNS: Millie?

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::enters the Brig as the CEO materializes::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::looks out as the security team has their phasers trained on him and accepts the state of paranoia, nodding at the CTO:: CTO: It's good to see you, Donavin.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
All: If I wasn't seein' this with mine own eyes I wouldn't believe it!

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
*Medical*: Medical team to the bridge.  Officer down.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::nods, and gives the CMO a cool look::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::groans as she starts to wake up a little::

ACTION: The Sharikahr receives a hail from the Har-Magedd colony.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
::doesn't believe it either::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sees the CMO enter as well:: CMO: Logan! ::smiles, happy to be back::

TO_PO3_Nielson says:
::has the sedative program used on the CMO placed on standby, just in case::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::looks at the Medical team he sent to the Brig:: Med Team: Get to the bridge now!

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
FCO: We are being hailed by the Har-Magedd colony.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::stares at the CEO blankly::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CMO: Are you okay, Logan?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
FCO: The technology for such an action, is currently unknown to us.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir, we are getting a hail from the Har-Magedd colony.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CIV: This I've got to hear, put it on screen.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO: I thought the planet wasn't there?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CMO: You'll have to do your scanning from there, doctor. That forcefield isn't coming down.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
~~~CMO: Logan, Millie is down.  Please help her.~~~

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::nods at the CTO blankly and begins scanning::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Phase shifting.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: Putting on screen now sir.  I thought so too but could it have a cloak we don't know about?

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
::activates the view screen::

ACTION: The Sharikahr's viewscreen comes to life and a familiar face appears, that of Sister Mary Sue. However, she is dressed in golden robes and looks rather..mystical.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::sighs at the lack of trust from his friends, but isn't surprised by it::

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
CTO: He's normal.

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: Good evening, Sharikahr. It is a pleasure to see you again.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::opens her eyes and speaks in a weak voice:: CO: Someone from the planet was trying to connect with me.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::turns and walks out of the Brig, heading for the Bridge::

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::drops the forcefield as the medical team approaches, and puts his phaser away::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CTO: What's up with him, Donavin?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
*Bridge*: Arinoch to the Bridge. Lieutenant Rodos is himself.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
::senses the CNS::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Empress: Forgive me for not feeling the same.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
*CTO*: Then get him up here.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::enters a turbolift and orders it to the Bridge::

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: You sound disappointed, Captain Horn. Is there a problem?

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
~~~CNS: Remember the wall I taught you?? Was it up when you were probed from the planet?~~~

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::puts his phaser away, and gives a nod, his team doing the same as Nielson lowers the forcefield:: CEO: Your guess is as good as mine. Shall we, lieutenant?

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: We're talking to the planet now. ::points to the screen::  Is that who you felt?

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::her first encounter, she listens curiously::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Empress: Disappointed that you and your....wait a minute...

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: Yes, Captain?

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::nods and smiles:: CTO: Very well. ::follows the CTO out of the brig::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CIV: Check comms, are we still at war?

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
CO: I must go to her.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::exits the turbolift and heads over to the CNS and begins scanning her::

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::gets up and begins to walk away::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: Checking now.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir, you're not going to believe this but there is nothing on comms about war. Nothing, nada.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Ma'am, scans show this area of space empty.  There is nothing around us but for the ship and the planet.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::stares at the CNS blankly::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::steps into a turbolift and waits for the CEO:: TL: Bridge.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CNS: Stop.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::enters the turbolift after the CTO::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: With your permission sir?

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CTO: It's good to be back.

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CNS: Millicent... are you ready my child?

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::looks at the CIV:: I must follow my Queen

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Empress: I need to know what you did to us.  Since leaving your planet our homes were at war.  My father's home planet was destroyed.  Now, what we've been through is suddenly over...why?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CEO: You missed a hell of a lot, Lieutenant. Drop by my quarters after you've gotten yourself adjusted and I'll fill you in. Say, over a scotch?

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CNS: No, stop, wait. ::walks to her and takes her in her hands::  CNS: Look at me, Look in my eyes please!

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Empress: Ready?  My crew isn't doing anything until you give me some answers.

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: That is none of your concern. We have found the true meaning for this. ::a smile forms over her face::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::nods:: CTO: Sounds great.. I've got quite a few... ::pauses to think of the right word:: ..stories of my own.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CNS: No, you don't.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::laughs, as the turbolift stops, and he steps back onto the bridge::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
TO: Shields up.  Transport the Counselor to quarantine in Sickbay.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: Please I am trying to reach into her mind and try to force the wall I taught her.

ACTION: The crystal's glow surrounds the Counselor, which seems to protect her from anyone attempting to stop her.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
COM: Empress: Yes, I'm ready.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::steps out on to the bridge and relieves Dag from his station::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CNS: Millie, look at me now!

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CEO: Falor, welcome back. Now convince your wife she's not returning to the planet.

TO_Ens_Mills says:
::nods, raising the shields and initiating transport::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
FCO: Get us out of here, now.

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::engages in a course away from the Colony at maximum warp::

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: The time has come for the rightful heir to rule the universe. She has come to us, finally.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::tilts his head to the side as if trying to process all of what is going on::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::looks at Millicent in awe and approaches her:: CNS: Millie? Are you okay?

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Empress: Go to hell.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CNS: Millicent, drop the crystal.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
::thinks:: CO: Sir, I have the ability to reach into her and put a wall up to bring her to her senses.  All I need is your permission.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
::ignores him and walks...through the viewscreen::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CIV: Try it.

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: I believe you are already there. ::smiles::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
CNS: Millicent!

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::looks at the viewscreen, dumbfounded::

ACTION: The Counselor walks through the viewscreen and appears next to the Empress. Her clothing has changed into silver robes and the crystal is now around her next in on an eloquent chain.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
All: Damn it! Damn it to hell.

CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::stands there silently::

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
COM: Empress: Return her now or you will understand what Hell really is.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
::curiously watches the turn of events::

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
COM: Empress: This is not over not by a long shot.

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: In due time, Captain. ::cuts the comm::

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::tries to hold back his emotions, but can't:: COM: Empress: Damn you! What have you done to my wife!?

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
::Turns the Sharikahr around and prepares to make it into a bullet.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Cartwright says:
CO: Captain, Bullet is ready on your mark.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::moves over to the tactical station, and Mills returns to the secondary station... brings the phasers online::

Host Empress_Mary-Sue says:
@CNS: Welcome my child. ::smiles:: CNS: It is time for the ceremony.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
All: Okay, I want answers.  I'm sick of those people and the way they are messing with my crew.

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
FCO: There is always more then one way of dealing with something.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CEO: Leiutenant Rodos, relax for the time being, she is fine.  I can sense her at the moment.  We will get her back I can assure you of that.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CSO: Yes, their way and ours.  I prefer ours.

CNS_LtJG_M_Rodos says:
@Empress: I will follow your instructions

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
CO: I've got a few answers captain. Just give me an away team... and a photon grenade or 5.

CEO_LtJG_Rodos says:
::drops himself into the seat at the engineering station and tries to hide his emotions from the rest of the crew::

CSO_Lt_So`tsoh says:
CO: Captain, they have the upper hand.  We need to discover the ace.

CIV_LtJG_Rochelle says:
CO: There might be a way, but it will cost me dearly though.

Host CO_Captain_Horn says:
CTO: Give you?  No, if anybody is going down there it's me and it's now.
