USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
From Dust to Dust
Episode 5

The Vesuvius received information regarding several attacks on colonies near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Information indicated the attacks were not of Romulan forces, but from a new, unidentifiable threat. Starfleet Intelligence reports from Remus indicated the Romulans are also being attacked by this unidentifiable force.

Ordered by Admiral Royce to Dyrian III, the site of the second set of attacks, an Away Team contacted archeologist KaRyn Kehari. She quickly informed them the attacks had turned deadly. The CTO and CSO found some type of odd reading at the archeological site and theorized some kind of possible energy weapon's signature was used in the attacks.

Kehari turned over a trunk filled with artifacts she kept in her tent.  She believed these to be part of some type of light amplification technology.  The Vesuvius is now in possession of these relics.  The CEO is trying to determine if the pieces are a part of a light amplification system while the CO and CSO await the arrival of KaRyn Kehari.

A mystery continues to plague sensors picking up 'ghost' blips only to have them disappear as quickly has they appeared.  Proximity klaxons sounded, but no other sensors were able to pick up anything else.  Currently, all is quiet onboard the Vesuvius and in the space surrounding Dyrian III…

CSO Lane says:
:: Sitting in the Captain's Ready Room waiting for their guest to arrive ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: In ready room with CSO ::

XO Horn says:
:: On the bridge sitting in the center chair ::

CSO Lane says:
::  Looks over at Sam and smiles ::  CO: Should be soon now.

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: I hope so.  We need some answers.

AFCO Lorehani says:
@:: On the shuttle Repulse on route to Dyrian III. Stretching once more she checks the sensors... ::  Self: Almost there.

CTO Horn says:
:: At Tactical One ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Arrives on the Vesuvius and is escorted to the Captain's Ready Room ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Rings the chime and nods her thanks to the Redshirt ::

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: Come...

XO Horn says:
*CMO*: What is the status of your patient?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Enters the Captain's Ready Room and nods to the CSO ::   CO: I'm KaRyn Kehari...you must be the Captain?

CMO Storm says:
:: Blinks at the patient ::  *XO*: He's unconscious, but stable Captain...Commander...

CSO Lane says:
:: Stands as Kehari enters ::

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Adjusting her sensors to maximum, she keeps a close eye on the area...no good to have someone sneaking up on her. Tapping a few buttons on her console. ::   COM: Vesuvius: This is Lt. Lorehani, I'm approximately five minutes out from your location. Requesting permission to dock upon arrival.

XO Horn says:
:: Smiles a little at CMO's comment ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Stands ::  KaRyn: It is a pleasure to meet you KaRyn.  Please, sit down.  :: motions to chair ::

XO Horn says:
*CMO*: Understood, keep us appraised please.

CSO Lane says:
:: Places the book on the table in front of her and takes her seat again ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Nods ::   CO: Thank you, Captain

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: I believe you know our CSO, Ms. Lane.

CMO Storm says:
:: Looks at the patient ::  *XO*: Are we able to determine who attacked the man yet?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Fils>: COM: Shuttle:  Received...permission granted

XO Horn says:
*CMO*: That is what we are hoping your patient will tell us

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods to Kehari ::  Kehari: Nice to see you again.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Fils>: XO: Sir, a shuttle is approaching.  Permission granted to come aboard

CTO Horn says:
XO: Sir, I have all the available intelligence on the Remans, as the Captain requested.

AFCO Lorehani says:
@COM: Vesuvius:  I'm coming up on approach.  Approaching Shuttle Bay 1.

XO Horn says:
Fils: Thank you. Please notify me when the shuttle has docked.

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: Ms. Lane has some questions for you as do I.  I will defer to the lady.  :: Nods to Ms.  Hope::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
COM: Shuttle: Received.  Looking good

XO Horn says:
:: Turns to the CTO ::  CTO: What do you have?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Nods to the CO then looks to the CSO ::   CSO: Yes?  What answers can I give you?

AFCO Lorehani says:
@:: She guides shuttle in for a nice soft landing...winces as she hears a slight bump. ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Info is limited but it does say that they are very capable warriors...

XO Horn says:
CTO: How capable?

CMO Storm says:
:: Looks at the patient, he needed time to recover... but they don't have any time ::  Self: We might get attacked next.

AFCO Lorehani says:
*Fils*:  I've landed in Shuttle Bay 1... powering down and then I'll report in.

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: I was wondering what information you've gathered on this book.  :: Picks it up ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Fils>:: Notes the arrival of the shuttle ::

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: One by one she begins shutting down the shuttles systems. ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Fils> *AFCO*: Understood.    :: Turns to the XO ::   XO: Ma'am.  We have a shuttle in bay 1 with a passenger ready to disembark.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
ACTION: Sensors pick up the 'blip' again.  It is gone almost immediately

CTO Horn says:
XO: During the Dominion war they fought some of the so-called impossible missions and came out victorious.

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: These images are interesting and very disturbing as well.

XO Horn says:
Fils: Thank you

CTO Horn says:
XO: They are very highly advanced in weapons technology.

CTO Horn says:
XO: I have that blip again.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Moves around desk to sit on edge to get better view ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO:  Yes...they are.  I can only surmise that these are some kind of invading species during the time the C'stelan's lived here

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Her antenna twitch as she stands up and stretches one more time...cracking her neck she smiles.  Eyeing her bag beside the door, she picks it up and exits the shuttle.  Looking around the bay she notices it is quite empty and frowns and wonders why her future department are not working on the shuttles. ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
ACTION: The guard in sickbay gains full consciousness

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: From these images, one group appears to be the thinkers, the philosophers while the others represent chaos, death and disorder.

XO Horn says:
CTO: Any mention about their cloaking technology?

CTO Horn says:
XO: All we know about it is that they have it.

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: She exits the bay and heads for the nearest turbolift and enters. ::  Computer:  Bridge.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO: From what I know of the C'stelan's...they are a race of philosophers; very peaceful.  These other's...   :: Points to the aliens ::   ...I believe they are the invaders

CMO Storm says:
:: Looks at the guard ::   Self: Yes.   :: Taps combadge ::   *XO*: Storm to umm...umm...Horn. The guard has awakened.

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: I haven't been able to decipher the text yet. Have you made any headway with that?

XO Horn says:
CTO: Well hopefully we will have better luck than the enemy did during the wars.

CTO Horn says:
:: Is also monitoring subspace transmissions ::

CMO Storm says:
:: Moves to the guard, scans him ::  Guard: Welcome back to consciousness. I'm Doctor Storm. You're on a starship. The U.S.S. Vesuvius.

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: Is there any similarity between the C'stelans and the Romulans history?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO/CO:  I haven't been able to...   :: Pauses ::   ...as of yet

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CO:  There seems to be...though, I've not really found concrete evidence or a correlation to the two eras

XO Horn says:
*CMO*: Thank you

XO Horn says:
*CO*: Sorry to bother your meeting, but the guard is awake

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Feeling the turbolift stop she hesitates for a second then shakes her head.  Back straight she steps onto the bridge. ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CO/CSO:  All I know is that I sense whoever is responsible for these attacks...well, they are after the items in my trunk that was brought on board

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: What about the artifacts I examined earlier? They seem be part of a light amplification system.

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn/CSO: Excuse me...*XO* Excellent.  Send a team to interview him immediately.

XO Horn says:
*CO*: Understood

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: She looks around for the one in charge. ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Nods to the CO, turning to the CSO ::   CSO: That is my understanding as well.  Have you been able to confirm this?

XO Horn says:
:: Sees the new person enter the bridge. ::

XO Horn says:
CTO: Anything else to report?

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: I have engineering trying to piece it together, but it looks like it could be part of some sort of beaming device.

CTO Horn says:
XO: I don't think the Remans are behind these attacks.

AFCO Lorehani says:
Self:  Must be the guy in the red pajamas...  :: Walks over to the XO and holds out her PADD then drops it as he begins speaking to another person. ::

XO Horn says:
:: Raises an eyebrow ::  CTO: Then who do you think is?

CTO Horn says:
XO: Unable to determine at this time.

XO Horn says:
AFCO: I will be right with you

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Nods at the XO and stands with her hands behind her back. ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO:  I think it's a weapon.  I need to confirm this though.

CTO Horn says:
XO: But this technology is way beyond anything we have ever encountered

XO Horn says:
CTO: If there is nothing else to report. Please go to sickbay and interview the guard. I am sure he will be a wealth of information.

CTO Horn says:
XO: On my way.

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: The soil samples I examined showed traces of some unknown element as well. I'm still trying to determine what that is.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Takes a very deep breath and ponders whether or not she should... ::

XO Horn says:
:: Turns to the AFCO ::  AFCO: May I help you?

CTO Horn says:
:: Nods to the new FCO ::

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: A weapon?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO:  I couldn't tell you, except that I feel it is from some kind of energy weapon

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: A weapon?

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Eyes snap open :: XO:  Ahhh yes Sir.  I'm Lt. Lorehani...  :: Holds out her PADD once again. ::  The new Flight Officer...

CTO Horn says:
:: Enters the turbo lift ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at Sam and then back to Kehari ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO/CO: Yes...   :: Nods ::   ...a weapon of great destruction

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO/CO: But on a smaller scale

XO Horn says:
:: Takes PADD ::  AFCO: Sorry about not acknowledging you, but we are in a middle of a situation right now.

CTO Horn says:
:: Arrives at sickbay ::

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: At the molecular level, you mean?

AFCO Lorehani says:
XO: Aye I can see that Sir.

XO Horn says:
AFCO: Are you permanently assigned to the ship?

AFCO Lorehani says:
::Nods::  XO: I am expect to be. I am currently awaiting orders.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CO: I'm not sure yet, Captain.  I need to determine that as of yet

CTO Horn says:
:: Finds the CMO ::  CMO: Dr. where is our guest?

XO Horn says:
AFCO: Please take your station then. Play close attention to your sensors, we have a cloaked ship out there.

CMO Storm says:
CTO: Right...there.  :: Points ::

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO/KaRyn: Well, it seems you two have much work ahead of you.

CSO Lane says:
:: Stands and walks to the desk and leans on it ::  Kehari: And you think that this weapon was used on the C'stelan?

XO Horn says:
AFCO: May be after shift we can give you a proper welcome onto the ship

CTO Horn says:
CMO: Thank you.

AFCO Lorehani says:
XO:  Romulan Sir... Permission to run a Tachyon scan...  :: Winces for a sec considering the nice looking Tactical Officer probably has already done that. ::

XO Horn says:
AFCO: And please do not call me sir, I am not a man

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO:  Yes...I do.   CO: Captain, if this is a weapon...I must ask for transport to a nearby planet

CTO Horn says:
Guard: How are you feeling?

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at the Captain and smiles half-heartedly ::  CO: Indeed Captain.

AFCO Lorehani says:
XO:  I see that Sir, but you know the academy...Old habits are hard to break.   :: Grins ::

XO Horn says:
AFCO: Understood

XO Horn says:
AFCO: A scan was already done, but you may try again.

Host CO Kelson says:
CO: Can we gather more evidence at this other planet?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Guard>:  Where...am...I again?

CMO Storm says:
:: Scanning the guard, to make sure it's okay for him to have long moments of consciousness. ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CO: I don't believe so, Captain.  I have a strong feeling they are looking for the contents of my trunk.

CTO Horn says:
Guard: You are in the sickbay of the USS Vesuvius.

AFCO Lorehani says:
Self:  Way to go Lorey...already you've insulted the boss.. took you what 5 mintues....  :: Tosses her bag beside her seat at the console then takes her station. ::

CTO Horn says:
Guard: You were almost killed.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Guard>:CTO:  Oh...

XO Horn says:
:: Looks at the PADD to familiarize herself with the pending new crewmember. ::

CTO Horn says:
Guard: Do you remember anything about the attack?

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: So why the transport need?  Just to hide from the attackers?

CSO Lane says:
CO: Captain, we must do as she asks. These artifacts could be the key to a whole civilization.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Guard>:CTO:  Just that...   :: Tries to remember... ::   ...no...I...I don't remember!   :: Turns his head away ::

CTO Horn says:
Guard: What is it?

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Fingers fly over the console adjusting it to her specifications. ::

XO Horn says:
:: Quickly checks her chair panel to check on the power status and ensure that they are still running in grey mode. ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CO:  No...I need to ensure they do not fall into the attackers hands

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at Sam ::  CO: Would you like to come face to face with a starship?

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: I have no problem with transport.  Just trying to get some answers first. 
:: Smiles ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Guard>:: Trying desperately to remember ::   CTO:  I...I...   :: Voice fades ::

CMO Storm says:
CTO: He's...very talkative.

CTO Horn says:
Guard: What?

CMO Storm says:
:: Bites her lip ::  CTO: Maybe he's...too tired.

CSO Lane says:
:: Makes a sarcastic smile at Sam and then turns away ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Takes a very deep breath ::   CO/CSO:  Then...you may want to sit down.

XO Horn says:
AFCO: First time behind the wheel of a galaxy ship?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Guard>:: Nods hearing the CMO ::   CTO:  Tired...yes...I...may remember...more later

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: What is it?  :: Sits down again ::

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Pulls up the duty roster for the flight people checking to see if there is anyone she knows and where the heck they are. ::

XO Horn says:
:: Waits patiently for the FCO to answer ::

AFCO Lorehani says:
XO:  As a matter of fact Ma'am.  Yes.  The last time I was on a Galaxy, I was her Counselor.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Composes herself then looks at the CO and CSO ::   CO/CSO: I must return these items to a place where they will be safe

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: Go ahead...

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Turns and grins. :: XO: So you get two for the price of one... I can fly while shrinking your head.  :: Hopes she has a sense of humor. ::

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: What place did you have in mind?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CO/CSO: The planet is called Hydora.  It is a water planet...

XO Horn says:
:: Smiles at the joke ::

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Turns back to her console. ::

CMO Storm says:
:: Bites her lip ::  CTO: Maybe he's...too tired.

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: Why there?

XO Horn says:
FCO: Well this ship does need a counselor too. I can put you down for double duty.

CTO Horn says:
CMO: Dr. Let me know when he is better able to talk.

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Chuckles ::  XO: That could be interesting.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO:  Because...they do not like water

CMO Storm says:
:: Realizes she just did the same thing... over again ::  CTO: Oh... okay. So. You're leaving?

XO Horn says:
*CTO*: What is the status of the guard?

CTO Horn says:
CMO: I will be on the bridge.

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: Who does not like water?

CMO Storm says:
:: Nods ::  CTO: Understood.  :: Thinks ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO:  The aliens in the book.   :: Says matter-of-factly ::

CTO Horn says:
*XO*: He doesn’t remember much at the moment.

Host CO Kelson says:
*XO* Kelson to Commander Horn.  Set a course for the planet Hydora.  Leave orbit when ready.

XO Horn says:
*CTO*: Figures, nothing can be easy.

XO Horn says:
*CO*: Understood

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Looks to the handsome Captain and smiles ::   CO: Thank you, Captain

CTO Horn says:
*XO*: I will question him again later after he has rested some.

XO Horn says:
FCO: Plot course for Hydora and engage when ready, max speed.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods to KaRyn ::  KaRyn: We aim to please, Ma'am.  :: Smiles ::

XO Horn says:
*CTO*: Understood.

CMO Storm says:
:: Watches the guard ::  Guard: Would you like something to eat? Drink?

CSO Lane says:
:: Opens the book and looks for a reference to water ::

AFCO Lorehani says:
XO:  Aye Ma'am.  :: Pulls up the star charts to find out where Hydora is...plots the course then enters the coordinates into the computer. ::  XO: Course plotted.. Engaging...Warp 9.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
<Guard>: CMO: No...thank you...rest...please

Host CO Kelson says:
KaRyn: In the mean time, you and Ms. Lane need to get back to work on the pieces brought from the planet and find out about this weapon.

XO Horn says:
FCO: Thank you

XO Horn says:
*CO*: We are in route to the planet, sir

CMO Storm says:
:: Nods and lets the guard rest. ::

CTO Horn says:
:: Returns to the bridge ::

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Catches herself...departs orbit on thrusters...programs to go to warp at the outer marker of the planet. ::

CSO Lane says:
CO: Captain, I think the good doctor here could use some freshening up first.

CMO Storm says:
Computer: Lower lighting by 50% percent.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CO:  Captain...I'm an archeologist...not someone who can put together items that are beyond my expertise    :: Grins to the CO ::

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: Perhaps we should get you assigned to a room first.

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Adjusts Warp to 9.5 ::  XO:  Warp 9.5 at outer rim of Planet.  ETA is 3 hrs.

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: If you think that is more important than work.  Would you like to show her to the VIP quarters?

CSO Lane says:
CO: My pleasure sir. :: Smiles sweetly ::

XO Horn says:
FCO: Thank you. Keep your eye out for a blip on your sensors

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CO/CSO:  I'm good for now.  I'd like to find out about that piece you are working on

AFCO Lorehani says:
XO:  Most definitely

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
ACTION:  Sensors pick up the 'blip' again

XO Horn says:
CTO: Keep your eye open also.

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: Let me know when she is settled and we all can dinner while we ride to Hydora.

AFCO Lorehani says:
XO: Your blip is back..  :: Looks at the CTO to confirm. ::

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: It's in the science lab. If you would like to follow me?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
ACTION:  A vessel begins to appear on screen...

CTO Horn says:
XO: Confirmed, we have the blip.

XO Horn says:
CTO/FCO: Can you guys identify this time?

CTO Horn says:
XO: Sir!!!!!!!

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods to Sam ::  CO: Of course Captain.

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Plots evasive maneuvers. ::

XO Horn says:
:: Sees the ship on the screen ::

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: This way please.   :: Motions to the door ::

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO/KaRyn: I'll walk you out then...

XO Horn says:
CTO: Shields up

XO Horn says:
*CO*: Captain to the bridge

CTO Horn says:
XO: Shall I go to Red Alert?

AFCO Lorehani says:
XO:  Evasive Plotted.

XO Horn says:
CTO: Not yet, but be ready just in case

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Nods to the CSO and stands ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Enters bridge ::  XO: Report...

CSO Lane says:
: : Walks onto the bridge ::

XO Horn says:
CO: WE have a visitor

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Looks closely at the screen. :: XO:  You see that...you can see through that vessel.. I wonder is it occupying more then one dimension?

CTO Horn says:
:: Begins scanning ::

XO Horn says:
CO: Shields are up, evasive maneuvers plotted

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Do we now?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Follows the CSO onto the bridge ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Glances at the screen as she passes ::

XO Horn says:
CTO: Can you get a lock on the vessel

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Hears the commotion and pauses to look at the screen ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Very good...any better data on our visitor this time?

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: Excuse me for a moment doctor please.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
ACTION:  The guard in sick bay falls to unconsciousness...

AFCO Lorehani says:
Self:  Hmmm interesting...

XO Horn says:
CO: Not as of yet

CSO Lane says:
:: Heads over to the science console and checks the readings ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Nods to the CSO, and follows her, standing near her ::

XO Horn says:
CO: Our new FCO suggested it might occupy more than one dimension

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Shakes his head ::  XO: That blip is really getting irritating.

CSO Lane says:
:: Spots the blue lady at the flight console and shakes her head ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
Self:  Oh no...it's them....

CTO Horn says:
XO: It’s there but it’s not there.

CMO Storm says:
:: Scans the patient to see if he's sleeping yet, he's unconscious... ::

XO Horn says:
:: Sees the CSO at her station ::  CSO: DO you have anything?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Stares at the vessel ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Looks at FCO ::  FCO: What is your theory, Lt.?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
ACTION: The guard goes into convulsions...

CSO Lane says:
:: Tries to get identification on the blip ::  CO: Captain, no identification at this time.

XO Horn says:
:: Looks over to KaRyn ::   KaRyn: Does that ship look familiar to you?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Swallows hard, continuing to stare... ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Sensors can’t make anything of it.

XO Horn says:
CSO: Anything at all. Ship composition, engine type...anything at all?

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks at Kehari ::  Kehari: You do recognize that ship then?

AFCO Lorehani says:
:: Turns and looks. ::  CO:  The transparent nature of the ship could suggest that the possibility of other dimension.  We would have to scan for temporal distortions to be sure...

XO Horn says:
CTO: Is it possible to get a lock on it?

CSO Lane says:
CO: Captain, scanning now.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Comes back to reality... ::   CSO/XO:  I have a feeling it is the aliens from the book...though I've never really seen one in real life before

XO Horn says:
CO: I recommend that we come to a full stop. Maybe then we can get a better scan on the vessel.

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Nods to CSO ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
CSO: I've never seen this vessel

CSO Lane says:
:: Scans for temporal distortions ::

CTO Horn says:
XO: Negative!

CSO Lane says:
Kehari: But you have seen something similar?

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: If we come to a full stop, we'd be a sitting duck.  Better to stay on the move.

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
ACTION:  The vessel fades and the blackness of space fills the screen

XO Horn says:
CO: Understood

AFCO Lorehani says:
Self:  Where did it go!?!

CSO Lane says:
CO: Captain, no temporal distortions present.

CTO Horn says:
XO: It’s gone again.

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: Thank you, Ms. Lane.

XO Horn says:
ALL: Were any of you able to get anything in ways of tracking this ship?

XO Horn says:
CO: This is so frustrating

AFCO Lorehani says:
All:  Is there a possibility that the cloaking device they are using is modified in some way.. like when it de-cloaks it de-cloaks partially giving it the illusion of a ghost like state?

CSO Lane says:
:: Whispers to Kehari ::  Kehari: You know more than you're saying don't you?

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Continues to stare at the screen ::   Self:  So...it's true...the stories are true...

XO Horn says:
CO: Permission to blow the ship to smithereens next time we see it

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
:: Does not hear the CSO ::

Host CO Kelson says:
XO: Maybe we should announce our presence with authority next time it appears.  Make them tip their hand.

CMO Storm says:
:: Trying to treat the convulsions ::

Host CO Kelson says:
:: Smiles ::  XO: They should never allow Tactical Officers to become command staff.   :: Laughs ::

Host KaRyn-Kehari says:
ACTION:  The guard calms and settles into a coma

CSO Lane says:
:: Leaves her station and walks to the Captain ::  CO: Sam, she knows more than she's telling us.  :: Nods in Kehari's direction ::

XO Horn says:
:: Whispers ::  CO: Once a CTO always a CTO

Host CO Kelson says:
CSO: How do we get her to talk, then?

CTO Horn says:
CO/XO: I would recommend no hostile actions toward the vessel.
