USS Sharikahr NCC-81204 - Stardate 10703.08

What the heck is going on? The crew of the valiant USS Sharikahr had just received their new Commanding Officer, were then turned into small dolls, and were finally transported to some very odd looking place. How and why exactly has all of this transpired?  We now rejoin the Senior Staff of the Sharikahr... in an unknown place where half of the team has been met by an odd looking fairy woman named Blu. There is much more to this situation than what the eye can see; that's for sure.

<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::sitting by the CO waiting for the CSO and CEO to return::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: How are you doing?

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Thirsty and very tired

ACTION: The fairy warriors have appeared and are now surrounding the Chief Engineering Officer and Chief Science Officer. No one says anything at the moment, they just stare at one another.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Lowers his hand and briefly touches the CSO.  A thought is transmitted in that instant::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Watching, waiting, listening.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: I must admit that I'm tired and thirsty as well. But in your situation, it must not be pleasant.

Host Xeno says:
::He looks at the crew, fluttering his armor encrusted wings:: CEO/CSO: There are others. Where are they?

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: No it is not. I can definitely discern some signs of heat sickness.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Says nothing, letting the CEO continue.::

Host Blu says:
::Blu does not say a word as she waits for a response from the two elf-ish looking people before her. A smile crosses her lips as she watches them::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: And sadly, we have nothing around to help you.... ::looks around and sighs as there is indeed nothing to help heat sickness::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Xeno: We can take you to them.  They are back towards the entrance.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::smiles a little weakly:: CO: I will be fine for now

Host Xeno says:
CEO: You shall not move from your position, elf. ::He takes his long staff and points it forward, which prompts several of the 'warriors' to head in the indicated direction::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: I wonder where the others are. They haven't answered my calls... ::walks a few steps towards where the CEO and CSO headed::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::gets up and nearly has to sit down again after a wave of dizziness::

Host Xeno says:
::He watches them flutter away and glares at the CEO and CSO:: CEO/CSO: Now... what in the name of Lancelot are you doing here?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CNS: We have come upon... fairyies... if you will. Commander, our CEO has a... unique plan of action in mind in dealing with them.~~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::turns towards the CNS:: CNS: Oh, you should stay seated... I can't hear them. I hope they are okay down there.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Xeno: I am interested in your term for us.  You called us elves, correct?

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~~CSO: Fairies? You are kidding~~~~

ACTION: A group of fairies make their way toward the CO and CNS. One of the men, a rather large and ugly looking fairy steps forward to speak.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CNS: No... it is fact, or a perception of a fact.  I do not disclude anything at the moment.~~~~

Host Xeno says:
CEO: Do you not know your own kind? ::He takes his staff and jabs Stidd with it slightly::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~CSO: Never mind. Considering what just joined us I  can see it's an apt description~~~~

Quan says:
::locks eyes with first the CNS, then CO:: CO: You will come with us. ::motions the others to surround them, not leaving much room for argument::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: What... ? ::blinks and looks at the creature in front of her again::   First a talking doll, now this...

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~CSO: We have just been told to go with them, is that part of the plan or should we resist?~~~

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Does not flinch at the poke:: Xeno: We are not from around here and so some of the terms are new to us.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Quan: I will not follow people without a proper introduction first. You are?

ACTION: As Xeno addresses Commander Stidd, Lieutenant So'tsoh can feel as if someone or thing is touching her mind, as if trying to ascertain how they arrived in their current location.

Quan says:
::reaches to take the CO by the ear:: CO: Now.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CEO: That was not part of his plan.  He is of a mind that we give difference to the captain as if she were a queen and he is no more then a subject to be dealt with.~~~~ :: mentally shrugs.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::moves her hand to remove Quan's gripping of her ear::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CNS: Cmdr... it's seems we are invited to a party but didn't get the invitation.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Closes her eyes, surprised at the touch.  She mentally searches.::

Host Xeno says:
::He stares at the elf-ish man:: CEO: No one is new to this world. There is no boundary to enter nor leave. We are closed to all outsiders...

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
Quan: How dare you treat our Queen this way. ::gives the CO a look that plainly says "go with it"::

Quan says:
::tightens his grip, and motions a few of the others to take the CNS::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Quietly:: CEO: Elves are a people of Earth.

ACTION: As the CO moves her hand, the warriors around Quan begin to raise their staffs, which begin to glow a bright blue. Several of the warriors clasp onto the Counselor and move her away.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::Notices the CNS's look and wonders what is going on but decides it must be a Sharikahr thing she isn't understanding yet::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~CSO: I have told the fairy guard not to treat our queen in such a manner as he is. What next?~~~

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::struggles against being moved off::

Quan says:
::lifts his free hand, and touches the glowing tip of one finger to the CO's cheek::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Xeno: We were brought here by a witch and not of our own choosing.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Quan: You just had to ask nicely. Let's not waste my precious :: pauses :: Queen time.... and let's go now... ::motions for him to open the way::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
~~~~CNS: His thought was simply passed on.  Another searches mentally for information from us.  I can feel their touch.  Rather discerning.~~~~

ACTION: As if not enjoying what she is seeing, Blu begins to move her hands in a rather odd fashion, muttering a few words quietly to herself. The entire Senior Staff begins to feel a calm, soothing, warming sensation.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::smiles a little at the pleasant sensation::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Fights the effects and tries to stay alert::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Feeling the rather unusual sensation pass over her, she stays alert.::

ACTION: As the spell of the Princess of the Fairy Guild continues, Captain Adrel and Counselor Rodos are transported to the location of Commander Stidd and Lieutenant So'tsoh. However, the Captain is slumped over on the floor...

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to the two commanding officers suddenly brought to them.::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Moves to check on the captain.::

Quan says:
::appears with the group, he and his men now with weapons out, pointed at their newest acquisitions::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::slumped on the floor::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::immediately drops to the side of the CO, attempting to ascertain her condition::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Notes the CO and the CNS presence and drops to his knees to check on the CO::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
Blu: You have a rather rude way of dealing with guests.

Host Blu says:
::Before Xeno can speak, she motions for him to retire. She flutters over toward the woman on the floor:: All: Please step aside. ::She says nothing more, but waits for them to obey::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::doesn't move an inch::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::blinks and slowly gets up::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Stands, leaving medical to the counselor, but does not move from her spot.::

Quan says:
::points his staff at the Sharikahr crew closest to the CO, and as he steps away from her, they are pushed away::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Watches as the CO gets up but remains kneeling before her::

Host Blu says:
::She watches as the Captain begins to get up:: Quan: There is no need for violence. You are to retire to my side.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::stumbles a little from the push as she gets up::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
Blu: You harm our leader, are rude to us, push away a people you call elves.  These are not the rules of conduct I am familiar with.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::looks at her crew as she stands:: ALL: Everyone is okay?

Host Blu says:
CO: Good day, Miss. ::She turns her large violet eyes onto the woman:: CSO: You are quite mistaken. I have not laid a hand on any of your people.

Quan says:
::does as requested, but his attention and the attention of his men is fully on the foreigners::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CO: All are well for now, Your majesty. :: Still kneeling::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::nods at the CEO::

Host Blu says:
CO: I have been led to believe that you, Miss, are the Queen of these people. Is that safe to assume? ::She curtseys ever-so-slightly:: CO: If that is true, then I must ask from which guild you reside. I have never seen such a diverse grouping...

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: And you are?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
Blu: A queen is responsible for her people’s actions.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: At the nod, stands to his feet with his face lowered before the CO::

Host Blu says:
CSO: You have yet been given permission to speak. ::She turns her attention back to the CO::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::also lowers her head before the CO::

Quan says:
::at a nod from him, a few of Quan's men take up a position just behind Blu, though their eyes never leave the crew::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: An imp of annoyance:: Blu:  Actually you did.  I responded to your comment.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::doesn't understand fully what is going on but starts to get that this looks like a queen of sorts... and that the other Shari crew member want Adrel to pretend she too is a queen::

ACTION: Blu moves her hand slightly and the CEO, CSO, and CNS find themselves surrounded by some sort of magical barrier. Nothing can be heard outside or inside of it.

Host Blu says:
CO: I am truly sorry for the interruption, Miss. Now I must ask for you to answer post haste.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts her hand and runs it along the barrier, curious.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: Answer what? ::as she looks at her crew insides barriers and hopes this is just temporary, tries to look comforting to them so they don't panic::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~CSO: Can you still here my thoughts?~~~

Host Blu says:
CO: Do you possibly not understand my language, Miss? I asked what guild you were from.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CNS: Yes.~~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: Guild? ::pauses: The Sharikahr guild?

Quan says:
::smirks a little as he watches the CSO in containment:: ~~~CSO: I wouldn't consider doing that.~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::trying to play along::

Host Blu says:
CO: What is this... Sharikahr? ::She raises an eyebrow slightly:: CO: There is no Sharikahr in these parts.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~::getting a little mad as well as dehydrated:: Quan: No one asked you.~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: We are not from these parts... a witch, as you might call her, brought us here in your land without our consent. We are just trying to find our way home and let you be.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Touches the field in an attempt to get a partial message to the CO:: ~~~CO: Witch brought us here.~~~

Host Blu says:
::She raises her hand and Stidd appears outside of the barrier next to the Captain:: CEO: Are you the King of the Sharikahr Guild, sire?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Does not reply to the alien voice.::

Host Blu says:
::Blu's face turns a bit pale at the mention of a witch:: CO/CEO: A witch... a witch has plagued this very world! We must not linger... she may be watching!

Quan says:
::points his staff directly at the CNS, who slowly begins to shrink::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: If you let my subjects go. We could surely become allies to take care of this witch. In return for our help, you could help us get back home?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to look at Quan:: ~~~~ Quan: Not wise...~~~~

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~CSO: Uh..HELP!!!~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: Can your .... ::points at Quan:: stop torturing my people? We have done nothing to harm you and do not intend to. We are here in peace.

Host Blu says:
CO: The King and Queen shall be responsible for making that decision. I shall bring your subjects to them post haste. ::She looks toward Quan:: Quan: Remove the barrier. The members of the Sharikahr Guild shall accompany us.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
~~~Quan: Look I'm pregnant and my Queen will really not like this. Return me to my previous size~~~

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Keeping an eye on Quan, thinks back to her childhood stories.~~~~

Quan says:
::smirks a little, but nods, and with a very slight lifting of the staff, the barrier vanishes::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: On the way to your King and Queen, would there be a way to get my subjects and myself some water?

ACTION: As the barrier vanishes, Millicent returns to her original tiny size.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
::Considers the staff.::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::smiles at Quan::

Host Blu says:
CO: There is none available in these caves... but once we reach our home there is plenty. Everything here is contaminated by the darkness...

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Blu: I am not the King.  I am one of her subjects. :: Points to the CO::  We have need of only one ruler.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Magic and its use came in many forms, talents and ways of controlling it.::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::feels a little faint:: CO: Your majesty...

Host Blu says:
::She considers his words:: CEO: Your guild is rather small?

Host Blu says:
Quan: You shall not torture the Sharikahr Guild any longer. I have yet to have issued any such order.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
All: We will accompany our new friends to meet their King and Queen.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Says nothing but moves to the counselor.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
Blu: Our guild is part of a Federation of Guilds.

Quan says:
Blu: Forgive me, mistress. They rather... unwisely sought to challenge me.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Mentally reaches outward.::

Host Blu says:
CO: We must hurry... or the witch may decide to make an appearance. ::She motions for her warriors to take their places around the Sharikahr Guild to form a protective barrier::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Steals a quick glance at the CO::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: We are ready. Lead the way ::looks at her crew, happy to see that they were not injured from the barrier::

Quan says:
::as the men take formation, Quan and a few of the taller ones take more protective positions around Blu::

Host Blu says:
::She motions for the crew to follow and she flutters into the depths of the cave::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::begins walking, her faintness receding but not passing::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CNS: Counselor, are you well?

ACTION: As the Sharikahr "Guild" moves deeper into the cave with the fairies, they begin to notice that things begin to get much darker. The only light available comes from the staffs the warriors are carrying.

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Whispers:: CO: I regret not having the time to inform you of everything.  I had only seconds to work this out.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CSO: I'll be all right once I get some water and rest.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
CEO: Do not apologize. You guys had to try something, and you did.

Quan says:
::closes one eye, and tilts his head to one side, thoughts unheard passing:: ~~~Blu: I still do not trust them, in spite of their claim. Their arrival would have been noticed by the guards.~~~

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: It is getting quite dark...

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CO: It would seem that all is starting to work itself out then?

Host Blu says:
CO: A keen observation, Miss. ::She pauses and places her hand along one of the cave's walls. She begins to finger one of the apple shaped stones embedded within it:: All: We have reached the enchanted entrance. Please prepared to enter a world of splendor!

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Nodding to the counselor, keeps an eye on Quan::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CSO: Have you noticed that you can't sense anyone else beside the four of us?

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::takes a deep breath as she doesn't know if Blu has the same definition of splendor than she does::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CSO: I was trying to feel if Victory was all right and I can't.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CNS: I had not thought about it. I am not open to the others beyond you.  I do not have a bond with them.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CSO: Not even Sha?

ACTION: Blu mutters a few words over the apple shape and the crew begin to feel yet another tingling sensation. A few seconds later, they will notice that their scenery has changed. Instead of the darkness of the cave, it seems they were transported to an empty lighter portion of the cave. The warriors can be seen talking to someone or thing.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::hears the others talk:: ALL: No telepathic abilities with the rest?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CNS: I would know if something were wrong with Shá.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CO: Nothing at all.

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
CSO: As I should with Victory, but I can't sense her at all.

Host Blu says:
::She leaves the group for a moment and begins to talk to what looks like empty air::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
CNS: Reading and knowing something were wrong are different things.  I am not worried... yet.

Quan says:
::instantly, the group closes in, seeming to keep the Sharikahr's crew away from someone or something unseen::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
ALL: From darkness to light ::wonders what Blu is doing::

Host Blu says:
::Blu turns her attention to the Sharikahr Guild:: All: Isn't it beautiful? ::She motions to the area around them:: All: Welcome to the Enchanted Magi Guild's Hidden Empire.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Continues watching Quan::

Quan says:
::directs a cool glare at the CSO, a momentary wave of dizziness accompanying it::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
::Turns to the CO but keeps his gaze focused down as if she is royalty:: CO: I await whatever request my queen makes.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: Thank you for the official welcome... ::unsure what happens next::

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow at Quan::

Host Blu says:
::She looks a bit offended:: CO: Do you not see our beautiful castle? ::She points to one of the cave walls... a bare wall::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: Actually, .... ::blinks::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::turns to her crew to see if anyone sees something::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
::shakes her head slightly::

Host Blu says:
::She lands onto the surface and raises an eyebrow:: CO: Does the Sharikahr Guild wish to challenge the honor of this place?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: While she enjoys spelunking, the cave seems to hold nothing they themselves can see.::

Quan says:
::stares long and hard at the CSO, as if daring her, at least, to admit to the challenge of their honour::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: Challenge?    The fact we don't see it can merely be because we are not from your parts? Is there a way your King and Queen can come to us?

Host Blu says:
::She suddenly realizes that she had forgotten a rather important aspect of this place:: CO: Are you not magical...?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts the other brow at Quan::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: We are ... magical... but I guess not in the sense you call it?

Host Blu says:
ACTION: Quan suddenly begins to feel a heavy attraction to the Elf-ish looking Science Chief.

Host Blu says:
CO: Then we must fix that aspect post haste! ::She flutters back up into the air::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: Fix?  ::turns to her crew:: ALL: Fix?

ACTION: Blu's wings begin to move back and forth slowly as energy particles begin to leave them. The crew begin to feel themselves changing... transforming. It feels a bit painful, but they cannot stop the process. They each begin to glow as this process occurs...

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
CO: I am afraid this is out of my area of expertise.  I know of the legends, but I do not see us as “Magical” in any sense of the word.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Listening to the conversation while watching Quan, simply shrugs her shoulder at the question.::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::starts to feel tingly and feel pain:: ALL: What....?

ACTION: Once the transformations cease... the crew find themselves changed. Captain Adrel seems to be in some sort of old fashioned stone aged outfit... she is broad shouldered and has a large mallet. It seems she has been turned into a Dwarf.

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Looks at the captain, surprise obvious in her eyes.::

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Tries hard to fight the pain, then grabs his head as he enters a momentary flashback of the mind rape of the Dr. by the child::

ACTION: Millicent finds her her body become covered in fur... her eyes turn into that of a feline. It seems that her transformation has caused her to become a werewolf.

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::as she feels the tingling and pain stopping, she moves her hands around her face and body:: Blu: What happened?

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to look at the counselor.::

ACTION: Commander Stidd can feel something moving on his back, as if he had been given wings. In fact, he has been turned into one of the warrior fairies!

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
::sees her crew's transformation and turns back to Blu::

ACTION: Finally, the Science Chief begins to feel her fangs begin to form. Her outfit changes into a rather morbid one as she is now a vampire!

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Her eyes next look turn to Stidd::

Host CO Capt Adrel says:
Blu: This will not be permanent, I hope?

Host Blu says:
::She looks over the crew curiously:: CO: Well... I have never done this before....

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
:: Runs a tongue along her teeth, noting the lengthening.::

CNS LtCmdr Rodos says:
All: What the...

CSO Lt So`tsoh says:
Blu: Interesting...

CEO Cmdr Stidd says:
:: Starts to regain composure and suddenly notices that he is no longer on the ground::
