Summary:

The Triton crew is split.  The Captain, Flight Control Officer and Chief Tactical Officer are heading down into the dark unknown while the rest of the crew are back on the Triton trying to find a way back into the caves.  Since Klingon opera worked the first time…maybe a Vulcan love song?

Or how about a nice Ferengi waltz?  Maybe it isn't that at all?  What will our heroes find?  What will the Triton crew do?  Stay tuned for another exciting episode of:

The USS Triton in "Building Blocks"....Chapter Twenty "Oh Where Oh Where Can Our Little Crew Be?".....Stardate 10709.06

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::In a Turbolift heading for sickbay.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Arrives back on the ship and heads for the bridge as ordered.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::In sickbay still unconscious.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO/FCO:  I hope you brought your hard hats.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Turns on her wrist light and points it into the darkness ahead.  All she can see is more darkness.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Arrives on the bridge and relieves the conn.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  I am fine, Captain.  ::Scanning ahead of them looking for anything.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Sits in the chair he sat in many times before.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO/CTO: So...who's gonna sing to bring that forcefield down?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Turns on the nifty light on the hardhat.::  CTO/FCO:  Let's move out.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Tactical:  Maintain a lock on all Away Team members.

@INFORMATION: The cave trio see nothing but rocks, stalactites and stalagmites in amongst the darkness.  There is a rustling that could be bats...or maybe something worse.  Far off in the distance is a bluish light...pulsating.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Exits the Turbolift and enters sickbay.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  I am detecting nothing out of the ordinary, Captain.  Just a cave.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::In a dream state still where it is all black and trying to figure out who said she would fail the test again and can't see who said it.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Notices a nurse standing next to someone lying on a biobed.::  Nurse: Hello, I'm the new Chief Medical Officer, Lieutenant Hayes.  What have we here?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO/CTO:  What do you think that is?  ::Points to the pulsating light in the distance.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO:  Phasers on stun.  What's that bluish light in the back of the cave?

SO_Marbek says: 
CNS:  I have a lock on the Away Team, Sir.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  Wait a minute, Captain.  ::Looking at his readings.::  I am starting to get an odd reading towards the light.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
::At his station on the bridge.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
SO:  Very well.

Nurse Roberts says: 
CMO:  Welcome aboard, doctor. This is Cmdr Mo'Bri, our Chief Engineering Officer. The Executive Officer sewed her up but she is still unconscious.  We believe she got a severe concussion and the backlash from a field tossed her against a wall.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Still looking for the person who said the statement as she wants to know why she failed the test again.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@Thinks:  Oh, here we go...an odd reading...we are so doomed.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@FCO:  Hold position until our Chief Tactical Officer gets a better scan.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS: I am rapidly loosing the transporter lock on the away team.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO:  I ain't moving.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Maintain a communications lock on the Away Team.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  I can not figure it out, Ma’am.  The readings just simply say  unknown.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Looks at the patient and takes a padd the nurse is handing her.::

@ACTION:  As the Captain and Flight Control Officer stop the light starts to pulsate faster.

Nurse Roberts says:
CMO:  This is the full report and scan results.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@FCO:  Is that light reacting to our movements?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Scans the light trying to discern its cause.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO:  Let's proceed with caution, slowly.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO:  It certainly looks like it.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS/SO:  Is there any way to obtain a thermal imaging scan of the caves?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  Yes, Ma’am.  I'll take the lead.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Takes a medical tricorder and scans the Chief Engineering Officer.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Begins walking forward with tricorder in one hand and phaser in the other.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Follows the Chief Tactical Officer, phaser at the ready, walking into the light.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Follows the Chief Tactical Officer and Captain.::

@ACTION:  As the trio starts to move again, the light pulsates slower.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO/FCO:  Okay, this is really strange.  It's like the light is sensing our presence.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
Nurse:  Well, the Chief Engineering Officer seems in a good enough shape to return to duty.  We just need to wake her up.  Can you please prepare a hypospray containing a solution to bring her back?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO:  Hmmm, maybe it wasn't the movement.  Maybe it just detected our presence.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS: They are pretty down below.  The rocks are blocking most scans.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Puts the tricorder down while the Nurse prepares the hypospray.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  I do not know.  I am puzzled about this.  Let’s continue on to find out.

Nurse Roberts says:
CMO:  Here you go, Doctor.  ::Hands the tricorder to the Chief Medical Officer.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@FCO:  But it appears to be pulsating to our movements.  The more we slow, the faster it pulsates.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Can you work on it?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Breaks into a loud snoring.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  And clarify?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Takes the hypospray and injects it on one of the Chief Engineering Officer's shoulders.::

INFORMATION:  All contact with the cave crew is abruptly lost.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO/FCO:  According to my scans, at this rate of motion, we will be at the source in about 10 minutes.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  Unless we can carve up some of this rock to have less between us and the team, I don't see how we can make this happen, Commander.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Suddenly hears static from her communicator.::  CO/CTO:  I think we lost the comm link.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Try narrowing the beam.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO/FCO:  Then let's not keep the welcoming committee waiting.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Does a short snore and hollers.::  Out loud:  Where are you?  Why did I fail the test?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Contact the Captain, please.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Picks up the pace.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Taps her comm badge to try to regain the comm.::   FCO:  I think you're right.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Sits up abruptly.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Tries his comm badge.::  FCO:  It appears you are correct, Commander.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Well, that seems to have done the trick!  How are you feeling, Commander?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Takes the medical tricorder again, and scans the newly awakened Chief Engineering Officer.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Looks around.::  CMO:  My head feels like a freight train hit it.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Still moving forward and scanning along the way.::

Yeoman Williams says:  
*OPS*:  Excuse me...is this the bridge?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Moves slowly behind the Chief Tactical Officer, allowing him to go first.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  I was told that you hit a wall.

Nurse Roberts says: 
CEO:  A bad hit too.  But the Executive Officer took care of you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  Is that what hit me?  First I see the shield drop and then a backlash, and boom, and waking up here.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Have you contacted the Captain?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be here.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Begins going over possibilities in his head.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  The medical scans show that you are in good enough shape to return to duty.  However, I would keep it to light duty for a few hours.  We can give you a mild painkiller if you want to.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  No, just tell me my Betazoid abilities are in working order and that will suffice.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Rounding a bend seeing the light grow stronger as they get closer.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
SO:  I need a thermal scan of the caves.  Please make it so...

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  We now have lost all communications with the away team, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO:  Are you detecting any heat signatures?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Re-establish.....

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Per scans, you are in order.  But you'll be the one who'll be able to know if your abilities are as they used to be.  I'm new here so I didn't have time to read your complete medical profile to do comparisons.  I'm Lieutenant Neve Hayes, by the way.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Double checking his scans.::  CO:  No, Ma’am.  Still just this unknown reading.  Nothing else.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@FCO:  How far will your tricorder go down into the caves?  Are we able to pick up any life signs?

@INFORMATION:  As the cave crew get closer, they can see that the light is coming from a chamber up ahead.

SO Marbek says: 
CNS:  I am trying, Sir.  I have narrowed the beams to .175 Centiare, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CMO:  I have heard of you from a friend.  You may call me by my first name, J'Loni.  It is an honor that I reserve to my friends.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
*Yeoman*: Yes this is obviously the bridge, why?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Pointing to a chamber.::  CO/FCO:  There it is.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  J'Loni?  She served on the Paula Greene while I was there, right?

Yeoman Williams says: 
*OPS*:  Excuse me, I'm not sure I'm calling the right place but is this the bridge?  I have a message from the Executive Officer for you.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
SO:  Narrow to .125 and continue lowering until you get something.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  That would be T'Lisha Bishara.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO:  I see it, but what is it?

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
::Looks puzzled at the Counselor and turns back to his console.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  T'Lisha is my friend.  She told me about you a while back.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: Yes, I served with her.  Well, nothing is keeping you here, Commander.  Do you require an anti-inflammatory before you go?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  I do not know.  It is intriguing.  ::Begins walking to the light.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO:  I can try to extend the tricorder range as much as possible.  But with those walls I don't know how much further it will go.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says: 
*Yeoman*: For me personally or the officer in charge?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@FCO:  Please do your best.  I've got you both covered.  ::Keeps her phaser ready.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO: Yeah, just in case, I get hit again.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Steps into the chamber with the light.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@FCO:  Looks like the Chief Tactical Officer is proceeding.  Let's follow.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Turns to Nurse Roberts to get a hypospray with an anti-inflammatory.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Starts readjusting her tricorder to maximize its range.::

Yeoman Williams says:
*OPS*:  For whomever.  It seems that the transporter went wacky when he was transporting, and now he's stuck in the lower decks garbage chute.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO:  Aye, aye.  ::Keeps working on her tricorder following the Captain.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
*Yeoman Williams*:  Alright, I'll send a crew to help him out.

Yeoman Williams says:
*OPS*:  I was tossing some stuff down there and heard him yelling.  He can't reach his comm badge or nothing.  It really stinks down there.

Nurse Roberts says:
::Hands the hypospray to the doctor.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Picks the hypospray and injects it in the Chief Engineering Officer.:: CEO: All set!

SO Marbek says:  
CNS:  Commander, I have multiple heat signatures.  However, they are separated.  I have three in a group and more than twenty almost 100 meters to the south west.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  Thanks, Doctor.  Now to find out where I have to be.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Engineering maybe?  Otherwise, the Executive Officer surely can help you.

@INFORMATION: The cave trio reach the chamber and step in.  It is completely empty except for a glowing light hovering in the middle of the chamber.  There does not seem to be a source.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Can you authenticate the Science Officer's findings please.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Manages to extend tricorder range by 2.7%.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO: Thanks, Doctor.  ::Walks out of sickbay and grabs a turbo lift to the bridge.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@FCO/CTO:  What .. is this?  ::Looks at the light wondering where it is coming from.::  Any ideas?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Walks around the light source not seeing anything there but the glowing light.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  And have you re-established communications?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Scanning it more intently.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Looks up from her tricorder just noticing they stepped into a room.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  No, Sir.

ACTION: The sensors can no longer pick up anything about the cave crew.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Arriving on the bridge she reports to the Counselor.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
Nurse:  I'll go to the bridge to at least introduce myself, and I'll be back shortly.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@Out loud:  How curious.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Looks around trying to figure out where the light comes from.::  CO: Uhm, no other life signs near us.  But as I said I couldn't scan very far.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS:  Commander Sir, I have been cleared for duty.  What would you like me to start with sir?

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Attempts to put her hand into the light.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CEO:  Chief, we have a problem with the transporters, the Executive Officer materialized in the garbage chute.....

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  I would not do so, Captain.  ::Grabbing for her hand.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Scans for an energy source.::

@ACTION:  A tone sounds throughout the cave and a forcefield goes up around each crew member trapping them where they stand.  A voice is heard speaking.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  Unless we can get transporter or communications relays directly inside the cave we won't be able to communicate or transport the away team until they get back up

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
OPS:  You got to be kidding?  The garbage chute?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Is trapped.::

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Pulls her hands back just as the forcefield goes up around them.  Touches the forcefield with her finger.::  CTO/FCO:  Did I do that?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Please notify Starfleet Command that we have an away team on the planet.  We have lost contact and are unable to re-establish; possible hostile entities on said surface.  And we are working on the situation.

Host CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Out loud:  Anyone there?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Hands go to her sensitive ears.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Exits sickbay and heads for the Turbolift.::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO:  Possibly....

Voice says:
@ALL/ALL:  Now the test will begin.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@To the voice:  Who are you?

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO: It would seem that we have found the Others.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  And what do you want?  What test are you talking about?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
To self:  Test!  

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Eyes go wide.::  Out loud: Not again.  What test?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
Turbolift:  Bridge!

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@Self:  Oh no.  I'm lousy at tests...

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@::Recording the voice as it is speaking.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
ALL:  Yellow alert!

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CEO:  I sent a team to help him out, but when he does, I can wager he'll be quite angry, so those transporters better be running perfectly when he asks....

Voice says:
@ALL/ALL:  Pass and a life will be given...fail and one will be taken....

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Takes out her tricorder to try to scan for an energy signature.::

Duty Tactical Officer says:  
::Places the ship on yellow alert and brings the weapons to standby.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Voice:  What test is this, and what has it got to do with me?

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
::Redirects power to shields generators, powers up the backup generators and restricts replicator usage.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Well done.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
::Open communication with Federation relays.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Moves to her engineering console and opens it up.::

ACTION:  All consoles on the bridge go dark.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out loud:  What the hell?

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  Perhaps you'd like to explain what the rules are so that we can study before we take your test?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS:  All the consoles are out.  Why I don't know.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
ALL:  Emergency power now.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  Hummmm, obviously that wont be possible, Sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Pokes her forcefield with her phaser.::

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@Self: How intriguing.  A test of what?  
@Out loud:  A test of what?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::As the Turbolift stops and the doors open, steps onto the bridge and looks around.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
ALL:  If not available go to battery back ups.

Voice says:
::In a thunderous tone that knocks everyone who is not in a forcefield onto their knees.::  @ALL/ALL:  Listen and listen well!!

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Notices the Flight Control Officer poking at the forcefield with her phaser.:: FCO:  Don't do it.  Probably won't be a wise choice.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO: Just wanted to see if it was ticklish.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@To self:  Wow, someone needs a happy pill.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@FCO: Yes, I suggest put the weapon away for the moment.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
ALL:  Let’s go, people!

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@FCO:  I think you made it angry.  ::Makes a funny face.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Approaches the Counselor, who seems to be the person in charge.:: CNS:  I'm the new Chief Medical Officer, Lieutenant Hayes.  May I be of any special assistance?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Head hurts again from the voice.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CMO:  Do you have any electrical or engineering knowledge?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@::Stands still.  Doesn't wanna make anyone angry.  Just wants that voice to stop yelling.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CNS:  No, I'm a scientist and a doctor.  Not an electrician and especially not an engineer. Sorry.

Voice says:
@ALL/ALL:  I am one yet many.  I speak softly yet loudly.  I am in the singular but contain the plural.  What am I?

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO/FCO:  Suggestions on ::pushes on the forcefield:: getting free?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CMO:  Scientist?  Of what may I ask?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
@CO/CTO:  How about solving the riddle?

Voice says:
@ALL/ALL:  Answer correctly and a life will be given...answer incorrectly and a life will be taken....

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CNS:  Well, I was a Chief Science Officer before coming here.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CMO:  Can you get me power?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS: I am the engineer here, and I am doing my best to get some power up to the consoles.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  Let’s figure out the riddle; seems our best chance at the moment.  ::Thinking for the answer.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CMO: You are with the Chief Engineering Officer.  

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  You are God?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Holds his temples.::   Voice:  ~~~ Answer what?~~~

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Hopes her jeopardy question is right.~~~

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CNS:  I don't know, but doesn't hurt to try, right?  ::Hears the Counselor's new order and looks around for the Chief Engineering Officer and walks to her.::

Voice says:
@ALL/ALL:  Incorrect!

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@CO:  Let me think, Captain.

ACTION:  The Science Officer screams and collapses to the floor clutching his head.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CEO:  The Chief Medical Officer is with you.  I need power...Now!

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Thinking about the riddle.::

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@CTO/FCO:  Any ideas?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Voice:  ~~~Leave him alone.~~~

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
::Goes to the Science Officer.::

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  What is that about... the voice?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  It has been something that has plagued this ship for the last few missions.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Voice:  ~~~What is the question?~~~

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  It almost sounds like a Q!  They love making riddles and making our lives a living hell.  ::Pauses.::  So let's try to find power.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  Can we get a little hint here?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CMO:  That is what I was about to say.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Voice:  You are Q.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CMO:  Maybe you could see if you can help that poor Science Officer there?

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@::Hears her comm badge chirping.::  *Triton*:  This is Commander Tierney.  Report!

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Voice:  ~~~Q!  Is this the Shadowman?~~~

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  I think we have communications back but only with the away team.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Open the comm.

Voice says:
@All/All:  Incorrect.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Nods and grabs a med kit, thanks to having studied the ship's layout to know where the medical equipment is.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  Captain on comm for you, Sir.

ACTION:  A report comes into sickbay that an Engineering Officer just collapsed dead.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
*CO*:  Captain, this is Commander Jarek.  Can you hear me?

Nurse Roberts says:
*CMO*:  We have just received word that an Engineering Officer is dead.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@*CNS*:  Commander, can you establish a lock on us?  We are trapped inside a forcefield in the cave.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*Nurse*:  Aye.  Dispatch someone to take care of it. ::Gets the medical tricorder out and scans the Science Officer.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Lock on to them.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
CNS:  Sir, sickbay informed me that an Engineering Officer has just died.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
*CO*:  We are trying, Sir.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Sighs.::  CNS:  The Science Officer is dead too, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::Stands up straight and nearly faints.::

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CMO:  I am aware of that. Thank you, Doctor.

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Closes the tricorder and sits next to the body.::  Self:  What a way to start my first shift.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  What is it that you want from us?  If you want us to play your games, you have to give us clues to your puzzle.  Do not take things out on my crew.  Leave them go, and I will stay and play your game.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*Engineering*:  Who is the Engineering Officer?

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*Nurse*:  Please coordinate with Transporter Room to transport the dead Science Officer on the bridge to sickbay.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
*Transporter room*:  I need a lock on the away team now!

Nurse Roberts says:
*CMO*:  Aye.  ::Contacts the Transporter Room.::

Transporter Room says: 
*CNS*:  Sorry, Sir....no can do.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
*Transporter Room*:  I do not care to hear of your problems...get the lock.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*Engineering*:  By the hand of Kahless who is the dead Engineering Officer?

Nurse Roberts says:
*CMO*:  Transporters are down.  I'll send a crew to get the body.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Make ready shuttle bay 1.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  You still have not answered my question.  Leave my crew go.  I will stay and answer whatever test questions you have.

EO Smith says: 
*CEO*:  Dunno his name...I just started here.  Something like Cato or Coco or something like that.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*Engineering*:  Where is Ko'tar?

Voice says:
@CO:  All must be worthy or none are.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
Voice:  ~~~I shall answer your question.  We mean no harm to you or any inhabitants of your planet.~~~

CMO_Lt_Hayes says:
*Nurse*:  Aye.  ::Gets up, but stays next to the body.::

EO Smith says: 
*CEO*:  Dunno who you're talking about, but then I just started.  I could go find him if you want.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  You are the "Others".

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*EO Smith*:  You go and find Ko'tar.  He is my mate or husband if you prefer.  I need to know if he is alive or not

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Where are our power, transporters, and main systems?

Voice says:
@CO:  Although we are what you call the "Others", as an answer to the test...it is incorrect.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  Wait!  But I "am" correct.  It may not be what you call yourselves, but my answer is correct!

Medical Team says: 
::Arrives on the bridge and takes the Science Officer's body with them.::

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  As you can see, all the controls are black....

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS:  But we seem to have power.

Voice says:
@CO:  The answer we seek is to the riddle...not to ourselves.

CO_Capt_Tierney says:
@Voice:  But the answer is the riddle.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Bypass to the secondary systems.  They are low key and seldom used but try and bypass.

ACTION:  A call comes to the bridge that a body of a yeoman was found in a turbolift.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS:  The power is there but we are unable to access the systems.  It seems that this Voice is using a dampening field preventing us from using our power.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CEO:  Do we still have a nucleonic generator aboard?  If so, activate it.

OPS_LtJG_Gaeb says:
CNS: Commander, the systems are working fine.  It's the control we don't have.  We have nothing that needs to be bypassed.

CTO_Ens_Salor says:
@Voice:  Is it life?

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
OPS:  Stand by.

CNS_Cmndr_Jarek says:
CEO:  Well?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
CNS:  We have fusion reactors, not nucleonic generators.

EO Smith says: 
*CEO*:  Oh hey...I found that Ko’tar guy you were asking for and wowsa!  Another guy just dropped dead in front of me!
