U.S.S. Tal-War
10401.24

Host Chris_N says:
U.S.S. Tal-War mission, Creason's Ascension, Part 3.  Stardate 10401.24.

Host Chris_N says:
SYNOPSIS:  The Away Mission to the fifth planet discovered that the Industrial Era Populace had indeed vanished save for one.  Skeletal remains holding a book containing hand written notes, was discovered propped up against a crystalline machine.

Host Chris_N says:
Through an inadvertent activation, this machine emitted a bright energy beam knocking the FCO unconscious filling her frontal lobe with Myorbic Particles.

Host Chris_N says:
The CMO has successfully removed these particles from her body and she is expected to make a full recovery, unfortunately, after stubbing her toe on the neighboring bio-bed; it vanished only to return later.

Host Chris_N says:
The Tal-War has currently broke orbit and raised shields to investigate the odd occurrence in Sickbay further.

Host Chris_N says:
The Senior Staff is now gathering for a Staff Meeting

Host Chris_N says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< BEGIN >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_Shania says:
::tries to find a doctor in sickbay to clear her, but can't find anyone, so just leaves::

OPS_Hunter says:
::heads for the meeting wondering where he should sit::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::sitting in the briefing room hoping some answers are forthcoming::

TO_MacAllister says:
::takes his seat in the meeting room::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::checks with Engineering on the status of the flight bay while she waits::

CSO_Shack says:
::Enters Briefing room and takes a seat next to the TO::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the TO and CSO as they enter::

OPS_Hunter says:
::enters the room and sits down, hoping he not sitting in any one’s seat::

CSO_Shack says:
::Nods back at the CO::

Host Chris_N says:
<Engineering> *CO*: Ma'am, Commander Irvin wants to run some preliminary safety tests, but other than that, it’s fully operational

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Welcome to the bridge crew, Commander.

TO_MacAllister says:
::nods back to the CO::

FCO_Shania says:
::heads to the nearest TL and gets in::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
*Eng*:  Understood.

FCO_Shania says:
TL: Bridge

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: Thank you captain

CSO_Shack says:
::Hits commbadge and checks with SO if the UT has finished work on the book::

FCO_Shania says:
::listens to the TL making funny noises::

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: Any luck John?

CSO_Shack says:
TO: Not until know

Host Chris_N says:
<SO> *CSO* Sir, we have a partial translation so far, it seems the author is a Doctor Tyrrel Creason.  He seems to have been developing a machine to further their evolutionary path faster.

CSO_Shack says:
*SO*: Acknowledged

FCO_Shania says:
::exits TL as doors to bridge open::

Host Chris_N says:
<SO> *CSO* Beyond that, we haven't discovered much else.

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: Well, I hope the Universal translator can handle it. It may give us some clues as to what's going on.

CSO_Shack says:
*SO*: Acknowledged, keep working on that and post me

OPS_Hunter says:
::looks over his notes::

FCO_Shania says:
::enters briefing room:: CO: Sorry about being late.

OPS_Hunter says:
::senses his imzadi enter the room, and looks up and smiles at her::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the FCO:  FCO:  I trust you are feeling better.

FCO_Shania says:
::sits next to Kert:: CO: Yes, I'm fine

FCO_Shania says:
::smiles at Kert::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
All:  First off, what have we learned about the planet below and this device?

CSO_Shack says:
CO: According to what we've gathered until now from the book, the author of the book was doctor Tyrrel Creason which tried to develop a machine that would further their evolutionary path

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Further their evolutionary path in what way?

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~shania: your looking at the new OPS~~~

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Unknown yet, but I guess it's connected to the myorbic particles we discovered

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::glances at the FCO::  CSO:  And there were no signs of any survivors of this "evolutionary path"?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: The planet is obviously class M, fifth in orbit of a Sol-type sun. Nothing unusual in its orbit.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Apparently not

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: As far as I can make out, there are no detectable signs of military weapons on or near the planet

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Thank you.

OPS_Hunter says:
::Listens to the briefing making notes::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  So they were not likely at war...  ::looks thoughtful::

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Not by the looks of it, but I still can't understand why everyone seems to have just vanished.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  There were no remains?

Host Chris_N says:
<SO> *CSO* Sir, we are receiving readings of Myorbic Particles within the Engineering Section on internal scans

CSO_Shack says:
*SO*: Acknowledged

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Only the one set that we found with the machine.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  That's odd.  All:  Any theories?

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Captain, my SO informed me that they are reading myorbic particles at engineering section

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Have them try and pinpoint the source.

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Suggest we send security and a science team to the location.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Aye

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  I concur.  Set it up.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::looks over a report from medical::  All:  It seems the single skeletal remains found were normal except for high levels of Myorbic particles.

CSO_Shack says:
*SO*: Any idea where are those particles coming from exactly?

TO_MacAllister says:
*Security team*: Report to engineering and assist the science team on arrival.

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: Perhaps we should evacuate the area effect. It sounds like these particles may be dangerous

Host Chris_N says:
<SO> ::typing away at the console:: *CSO* Not exactly sure sir, but they seem to moving through Main Engineering covering an area no larger than roughly 1 meter in diameter.  New information on that book too sir.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  These particles so far are emitted by bioforms.  If that remains the case, evacuating personnel might spread the danger.

CSO_Shack says:
*SO*: Continue

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::looks pointedly at the FCO::  FCO:  Anymore unusual occurrences happen near you?

TO_MacAllister says:
::Looks to the CO:: CO: Quarantine the area?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: No

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::considers::  TO:  It might be best.  Proceed.

Host Chris_N says:
<SO> *CSO* The good Doctor used himself as a guinea pig for the device.  He reports he began showing signs of advanced telekinesis.  <SP?>  His log also shows a dislike of the evolutionary path to destructive behaviour of his people until one day they all simply vanished from the planet

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Aye. *Security*: Quarantine main engineering, no one in or out.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::looks at a tacky ornament on the briefing table::  FCO:  You really hate that right?  Can you make it disappear?

CSO_Shack says:
*SO*: Acknowledged, good work. Keep me informed

OPS_Hunter says:
::keeps an thought out for shania emotions::

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Excuse me?

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Captain, apparently Doctor Creason used himself as a guinea pig for the research of the machine he developed

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Indulge me.  Focus on just how annoying that ornament is, and how much you would like it gone from your sight.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: After a period of time he began to show signs of telekinesis

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the CSO::  CSO:  Continue.

FCO_Shania says:
CO: It's really flattering but you clearly overestimate what I can do.

TO_MacAllister says:
<Security> *TO*: Area secured sir.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Give it a try anyway?

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Well, he also wrote in his book that the behavior of his people began to be very odd until one day they all disappeared

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Any record of his feelings toward his people prior to their disappearance?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Ok ::thinks the CO should find a magician if she wants entertainment but concentrates on that ornament anyways::

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: Are you saying that this book is some sort of diary?

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The ornament remains intact

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Yes he definitely disliked the society he lived in

Host CO_Kyrron says:
All: So either the Doctor's treatment worked, or my thinking is completely off base.  Or both maybe.  ::grins::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  The biobed disappeared right after you stubbed your toe on it.  Were you annoyed with it prior to it’s vanishing?

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: It might be trigger by an involuntary emotional reaction, like a reflex...

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: But surely if the machine made them vanish then the good doctor would have vanished too?

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Well, I'm beginning to think that all of this is somehow connected to that device and to the myorbic particles

FCO_Shania says:
CO: I just thought it was in the way

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  I don't think the machine made them vanish.  I think the doctor did it.

CSO_Shack says:
::A sudden thought crosses John's mind::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  I agree.  I also think it's possible the population of that planet may still be alive... somewhere.

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

CSO_Shack says:
TO: Can we somehow scan the device further more from here?

CSO_Shack says:
TO: I don’t know. What are you thinking about?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Yes... but where would things, and people go?

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: No idea, but I could lower my mental shields and keep an eye out for such spikes

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: I think so. If we can refine the sensors and boost the gain a bit, we should be able to get a detailed scan of it.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Any further information about the situation in Engineering?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Maybe they turned into some sort of energy.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the FCO:  FCO:  The biobed came back intact.

FCO_Shania says:
CO: And maybe they are all trapped inside that machine.

CSO_Shack says:
TO: Well, I think we should give it a try

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Brilliant.  ::smiles::

OPS_Hunter says:
All: It might even be some form of mental cloaking device.  when anything disappears did anyone try and touch or feel it was still present?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Maybe whatever hit me wasn't an attack but a sign

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::looks at OPS and considers that Betazoids might be useful after all::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  A sign?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: A sign that they are in there and they need help

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The Tal-War begins to slowly move away from its holding position as several of the Senior Staff note by looking at the moving stars.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS: Can you try to sense them?

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: I shall try

TO_MacAllister says:
::looks to the CO:: CO: We may be able to scan the machine further from here.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  It's worth a try.  ::looks out the window::

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~::lowers his mental blocks at attempts to see if he can sense anyone other the tal-war crew~~~

CSO_Shack says:
::Looks outside the window and notices that the ship is moving::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::stands::  All:  Return to the bridge!

TO_MacAllister says:
::nods to the CSO:: CSO: Let's get to it.

CSO_Shack says:
TO: I agree

CSO_Shack says:
::Get up quickly and walks to the exit::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Find out why we are drifting and stop it.

Host Chris_N says:
<SO> ::gives up station when the CSO arrives::

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~::after a few minutes he manage to id each of the minds on the Tal-War, but once there all account for he finds more minds, but he is unable to locate were, he can only tell there not on the ship, the minds are different, but they have to be near by~~~

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::follows the others from the briefing room::

TO_MacAllister says:
::almost runs to his station and immediately starts working on his scans::

CSO_Shack says:
::Walks to the station the SO gave up a moment ago::

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Will do ::heads for helm::

OPS_Hunter says:
::raise his mental blocks and notice everyone leaving the brief room and follows::

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: I was able to sense life forms, not on the ship, but I was unable to find out were...they could be anywhere in the solar system

CSO_Shack says:
::Starts a procedure taking care of the sensor array and modifies it::

FCO_Shania says:
::sits and looks at the console, taps a button here and there:: CO: It seems the impulse drive has been activated. We are moving towards the 6th planet.

OPS_Hunter says:
::heads for the ops station::

FCO_Shania says:
CO: I'm trying to stop the ship.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  But we know they are still alive.

TO_MacAllister says:
*Security*: What's going on down there?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Let's go with the flow, but can you retake helm control if necessary?

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: Yes sir

CSO_Shack says:
::Overhears the OPS and thinks about something:: CO: Maybe we should scan all the planets in the system?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: I'm not certain

TO_MacAllister says:
<Security>*TO*: Science team reports the emissions have moved to one of the consoles.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Try.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  And has that console taken control of the helm?

OPS_Hunter says:
::notes a beeping on his panel:: CO: Everyone in main engineering is unconscious

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Focus scans on the 6th planet.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Aye

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Send a med team.  They can be evacuated to sickbay.

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: I have a strange feeling that it has.

CSO_Shack says:
TO: Are the sensors ready?

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: Aye

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Can you confirm?

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: All ready here.

OPS_Hunter says:
::contacts sickbay and orders an evacuation team to get the people out of main engineering::

CSO_Shack says:
::Scans the 6th planet::

TO_MacAllister says:
*Security*: Confirm, has the emission taken control of helm?

CSO_Shack says:
::Eyes wide opened:: CO: Captain,  I detect a civilization over 4 billion

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~::lowers mental shields and attempts to gain a better fix on the extra life forms he picked up~~~

TO_MacAllister says:
<Security>*TO*: Science team has just confirmed, it definitely has.

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Confirmed.

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION The Tal-War approaches the sixth planet and begins to enter orbit

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Level of technology?  Can you tell if they have been there long?

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Will try

CSO_Shack says:
::Further scans the civilization::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Is there a telekinetic presence in Engineering?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Have security see if they can restrict access, but don't actually do it.

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: John, can you isolate that console and disable it?

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~::Shifts his search from the life forms to main engineer search for signs of telekinetic presence::~~~

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: Checking

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: I'm on it.

OPS_Hunter says:
::wipes the sweat of his brow::

CSO_Shack says:
TO: Not now sorry

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  What's our status.  Have we achieved orbit?

TO_MacAllister says:
*SEC*: Can you restrict access to that console?

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~::gets his by a powerful source as he quickly raise his mental shields~~~

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Yes, we have.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Apparently, they have been here for a long time and were able to create pockets of large cities and develop space travel technology

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: Yes there is captain, and it extremely powerful

TO_MacAllister says:
<Security>*TO*: We can override if need be.

TO_MacAllister says:
*SEC*: Stand by.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Is there any way we can communicate with it short of allowing it to continue to override our ship systems?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Are there any further helm inputs coming from the console in Engineering?

TO_MacAllister says:
<Security>*TO*: The  particles are leaving Main Engineering and heading down the corridor toward the shuttle bay.

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: I can attempt to contact if mentally, but, it something I have not done in a while, other then Lt Cmdr Shania, I seldom reach out with my powers

FCO_Shania says:
::checks:: CO: No sir

TO_MacAllister says:
*SEC*: Acknowledged. CO: The  particles are leaving Main Engineering and heading down the corridor toward the shuttle bay

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Maintain orbit then.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Have the shuttlebay locked down immediately.

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Aye. *SECURITY TEAMS*: Have the shuttle bay locked down, NOW!

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Can you tell if this civilization is warp capable?

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: That may not be wise captain, they may simply want to leave the ship

FCO_Shania says:
CO: We have a shuttle's systems online. The shuttle bay doors are opening

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: As the TO locks down the shuttlebay, the doors begin to close once again.

TO_MacAllister says:
<Security team 2>*TO*: Shuttle bay secure.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Their space travel technology is based on a mixture of oxygen and there are no signs of wrap capability

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  And if I knew what it was up to, I might be willing to help it.

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~::begins dropping mental shields and attempts to make contact with the telekinesis source on the ship::~~~

Host Chris_N says:
ACTION: The power systems on the shuttle return to off-line

CSO_Shack says:
::Scans for any signs of myorbic particles on the 6th planet::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the CSO::  Pre-warp.  The Prime Directive applies.

TO_MacAllister says:
*SEC2*: What's going on down there?

Host Chris_N says:
<Creason> ~~~OPS: I am Doctor Creason, why have you stopped my return to my people?~~~

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: I have made contact, it says he is Doctor Creason and wish to return to his people, and wants to now why we are stopping them

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Does he realize he's dead and doesn't have a body?

CSO_Shack says:
::Scans for any devices on the planet that are identical to the device found on the away mission::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::wonders why he needs a shuttle::

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: That my not be relevant, not all life forms have bodies, for example the Q those not

CSO_Shack says:
OPS: But he used to have a body

TO_MacAllister says:
<Security 2>*TO*: All seems to have returned to normal here sir.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Why does he need a shuttle?  Why doesn't he just think his way there?

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~Creason: We had no idea, also my captain wants to now why you need our shuttle, and why you can not move your self to your people~~~

Host Chris_N says:
<Creason> ~~~OPS: How do you mean, move myself to my people?~~~

OPS_Hunter says:
CSO: It is possible he as evolved, grown past the need of a corporal body

CSO_Shack says:
OPS: It can be

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: I have a theory.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Have you found anything to connect this civilization with the one from the fifth planet?

CSO_Shack says:
TO: Go ahead

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: I do not thing he can move himself, I get a sense that there are limits to his power. I recommend we let him use the shuttle

CSO_Shack says:
CO: I'm afraid not

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::thinks::

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~Creason:Can you not teleport your self? why do you need the shuttle?~~~

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Is there anyplace on that planet we could land a shuttle where it wouldn't be detected by the population?

CSO_Shack says:
CO: However, the bio-readings are exactly the same race that disappeared

TO_MacAllister says:
CSO: Could it be that when the doctor activated the machine, his essence as it were was stored in that machine until it activated again while we were down there?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Interesting.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: I'll scan for one

Host Chris_N says:
<Creason> ~~~::considers the OPS' suggestion having not occurred to him before.  OPS: Thank you Mr. Hunter for the idea. ~~~

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: I might be able to make  a mental bridge so to speak between you and the intruder, you may be able to speak to him directly, but I am not sure how long I be able to keep it open...

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Anyway to tell by the age of the buildings, etc. which civilization came first?

CSO_Shack says:
TO: Interesting theory, it can be possible

OPS_Hunter says:
CO: It appears he never thought to teleport himself....

CSO_Shack says:
CO: I believe the civilization came about the same time that civilization from the 5th planet disappeared

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Are internal sensors still tracking the source of the particles?

CSO_Shack says:
CO: All readings of myorbic particles disappeared from shuttlebay

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Aye captain.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CSO:  He's gone then.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: Correct

OPS_Hunter says:
~~~Creason:Are you home?~~~~

CSO_Shack says:
::Scans the planet for a possible location for a shuttle to land::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::considers going back to the 5th planet and destroying the device::

TO_MacAllister says:
CO: Confirmed, the particles have all gone.

CSO_Shack says:
CO: I found a possible location for a landing shuttle
