CEO: If without endangering yourselves.

Host Shadowman says:
ACTION: The nucleonic shields brace and buckle under the combined force of 50+ people

CMO_Tren says:
::on bridge::

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  Awaiting orders...

CDR_McLir says:
CO: May not be able to separate the two.

XO_Keorn says:
SO: Open a power feed, I don't think he can disengage it

CO_Winters says:
McLir: We must try.

Ingo says:
%:: continues at it .... blood starts coming out of the ears of the weaker telepaths ::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: if we can feed more power into it we can overload his systems

CDR_McLir says:
::shrugs::

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  Sir?  ::Shakes his head, doesn't question any further::  Aye.  ::Prepares a power transfer::

Host Shadowman says:
% ::touches the console again, regains composure... must go deeper... glimmers away to join his essence with the computer::

CO_Winters says:
XO: Try it. :: resigned now to the fact that we may have to damage the Opeongo ::

CDR_McLir says:
ALL: Where does the Shadowman get his power from?

Valen says:
% ::continues his evil image while crying:: Self: Ahhhhhhh !!!

CO_Winters says:
McLir: Unknown. The ship itself.

Ingo says:
%:: begins shivering ::

CO_Winters says:
SO: Can you get a lock on the ShadowMan himself?

XO_Keorn says:
SO: feed as much power into the tunneling device as you can

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Reroutes power to the new shields to regain full power

CDR_McLir says:
Winters: Then we may have to destroy both.

SO_Weaver says:
::Opens Sci 2 again as he is flooded with orders::  CO:  No, sir.  Not as yet.

Valen says:
% ::hair begins to fall off face... losing the sexy goatee he once gloated about::

XO_Keorn says:
::on second control padd begins hacking the data channel again::

CDR_McLir says:
CO: Do we really want to bring "it" aboard?

CO_Winters says:
McLir: We cannot destroy an innocent that is being manipulated by evil.

Host Shadowman says:
% ::a voice from nowhere... all around the room:: Group: Friends, I must continue this part alone. I thank you for your help. Stand ready to continue this most holy of battles with me, and we shall achieve victory for eternity!

CO_Winters says:
McLir: Actually...

CMO_Tren says:
::still on bridge::

Host Shadowman says:
ACTION: The group glimmers away in that odd sensation... they return to their temple

CO_Winters says:
SO: If you can lock onto him, beam him onto the planet.

CNS_Mrai says:
CO: Sir if I may suggest let us leave this area and rethink this new addition, I think and/or feel that if we continue with this way that only more people will die unnecessarily..

Ingo says:
@:: falls on the ground ::

CDR_McLir says:
Winters: If we leave we'll play merry hell trying to find it again.

SO_Weaver says:
::Activates the power transfer beam and targets the location of the emitter::  CO:  Sir, I'll try, but most interior scans are, repelled, somehow.

CO_Winters says:
McLir: I am not leaving.

Valen says:
@ ::falls to ground... wipes tears... and kisses the ground::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: sir the Opeongo has returned the life forms to the surface

CDR_McLir says:
CO/XO: Something just transported off the Opeongo.

CO_Winters says:
XO: Good. Can you redirect that tunneling energy at the room where the shadow man is?

CEO_Jarek says:
XO: Maybe we should beam them aboard Triton

CNS_Mrai says:
CDR/CO:NO, we won't I think I can find them if we need too..

CO_Winters says:
CEO: Will do that if it becomes necessary.

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: position the Triton between the Opeongo and the planet

Host Shadowman says:
% COM: Triton: ::from nowhere, not on screen or anything...:: You have proven yourself enlightened in defense. But you have yet to see the full abilities of your evolutionary model. We shall meet soon enough!

CDR_McLir says:
::Ready to follow Opeongo where ever it goes::

Valen says:
@ ::looks around::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: we can block any normal transporters with the Triton

Host Shadowman says:
ACTION: Opeongo doesn't slip into warp, but slivers away into an artificial subspace corridor created seconds before

CDR_McLir says:
::Maneuvers Triton to stay between Hargon III and Opeongo:: CO: Aye.

Ingo says:
@:: slowly gets up ::

CO_Winters says:
McLir: Follow if you can....

SO_Weaver says:
::Aggravated as the power transfer beam loses the lock::  XO:  Power overload unsuccessful, sir.

CDR_McLir says:
::Moves ship to where Opeongo disappeared::

CMO_Tren says:
::still, on bridge::

CNS_Mrai says:
CEO: We must find away to work around that shield of yours Jarek..

CDR_McLir says:
CO: Its gone sir.

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Triton, out of merry luck, is caught in the entrails of the corridor and follows Opie in as the gateway closes

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: Yes counselor ,But they worked

CDR_McLir says:
::sighs::

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: They worked

CDR_McLir says:
::Pushes Triton after Opeongo::

Valen says:
@ ::decides to write a book about adventure::

CDR_McLir says:
CO: We're still with it sir.

XO_Keorn says:
::braces from the shuddering of the passage::

CO_Winters says:
XO: Take out their propulsion if you can.

CDR_McLir says:
::Grabs the console::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Sits at Engineering one relieved::

CO_Winters says:
:: hanging onto the chair ::

SO_Weaver says:
::Falls forward, smacking his face off the display::

CDR_McLir says:
::ship shudders::
