USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10408.31
ACTD-wide storyline, Part 2
Episode 6

Debt of Honor…

Commander Lane now commands the Vesuvius in lieu of the unconscious Executive Officer and Captain. Her responsibility: to successfully complete the orders issued by Starfleet Command which are to uncover plans of the Nacandarian's, their training of the V'Rax, and any other pertinent information deemed relevant.

The CTO and CMO have returned to Varnaxia on the pretense of providing aid to the V'Rax, while in sickbay the Captain, and Executive Officer lay in comas. They are in no pain and rest comfortably; no known cause for the comas can be found….

An accident in the shuttle bay has rendered the FCO unconscious and she is now currently in sickbay with the Captain and Executive Officer.

Nearby, the anomaly is starting to increase it's output of extra-dimensional particles….

CSO Lane says:
:: Sits in her chair on the bridge anxiously waiting for a report from the away team ::

Sojan says:
@:: In U'Tahn's office bouncing around tossing items from the desk onto the floor. ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Back on the planet Varnaxia, he returns to the same place he was in where U'Tahn had questioned him and he had met Sojan. ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: watches U'Tahn for a chance to ask about the rift "knife" ::

EO Baxter says:
*CSO*: Baxter to Lane...

CNS Martin says:
:: Sits in her chair on the bridge, going through information she obtained from the Doctors records, about the V'Rax ::

CSO Lane says:
*EO*: Lane here, go ahead.

Sojan says:
@Ukuts:  Ukuts, do you see furry guy?  He has furry skin...Why does he have furry skin?

Sojan says:
@:: Points Varn out to Ukuts. ::

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  U'Tahn, could you show me that device Sojan likes so much?   I'm curious.

EO Baxter says:
*CSO*: The crystals are in and all ships systems should now be functioning within acceptable parameters

Ukuts says:
@Sojan: Fur, where?   :: Looks around and wonders ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Keeps a close eye on Ensign Varn, U'Tahn and Sojan. ::

Sojan says:
@:: Hears Varn ::   CTO:  Furry guy likes my present!

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Watches the CTO while making a few clicking noises ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: Hears Sojan and shivers ::   Sojan: Yes, I do Sojan very much

CSO Lane says:
:: Leans forward in her chair ::   *EO*: Excellent. Were there any problems with adapting them to our systems?

Sojan says:
@Ukuts:  Right there...   :: Points to Varn again. ::   See the furry skin.  You want furry skin?

EO Baxter says:
*CSO*: Just a bit, the we worked out the kinks

Ukuts says:
@:: Whimpers in his chair ::

CTO Varn says:
@Sojan: It's still the same fur Sojan

Ukuts says:
@Sojan: No, no fur, no fur, pleaseseeee

Ukuts says:
@:: Hides face ::

CNS Martin says:
:: Takes notes on a separate PADD from the one with the V'Rax information ::

CSO Lane says:
*EO*:Well done Baxter. Tell the rest of the engineering team that they just earned their week's pay. Lane out.

CTO Varn says:
@:: Slowly turns making sure the detachable scanner is still well hidden ::

Sojan says:
@Ukuts:  But why not?  Furry skin is funny looking.  Don't you want to be funny?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Discreetly reaches into his med kit and gets a hypospray filled with some glucose elements. ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@Sojan/Ukuts: I think it's time for your glucose injectorant.  Are you ready for it?

CTO Varn says:
@:: Quickly looks at Dr. Bannister ::   U'Tahn:  Do they require these often?

Ukuts says:
@Sojan: Yes and no...no   :: Looks at U'Tahn and nods :: Yes, yes, yes.

Sojan says:
@:: Claps hands and jumps up and down ::   U'Tahn:  Yes, Yes, Yes!!!  Then can you play my present again!?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Looks up at U'Tahn and listens. ::

Host U’Tahn says:
CTO: Yes, at times they do

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn: Why do you give them these injections?

Ukuts says:
@:: Eyes fixed on U'Tahn ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Smiles ::   Sojan/Ukuts: Then, please take your seats and quiet down...

Sojan says:
@:: Grabs U'Tahn's arm. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Moves her chair over to the helm station and checks on their position ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Takes out the injectorate from his drawer and moves to them ::

Ukuts says:
@:: Bobs his head up and down ::   U'Tahn: Yes, yes, sit down, sit down and be quiet!

Ukuts says:
@:: Watches every movement, waiting, very impatiently...wants to jump up and down ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Looks at them, then at his guests.  Gives Sojan the shot first, then Ukuts ::

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: U'Tahn, does it help them concentrate?

Host U’Tahn says:
@Sojan/Ukuts: There you are.  Now, go to the room with the others and watch the lights

Sojan says:
@:: A serene calm comes over her and she lets go of U'Tahn's arm.  She goes over and sits beside Ukuts. ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Wonders if U'Tahn takes some as well, considering he's ignoring them. ::

Ukuts says:
@:: Closes his eyes, feeling fantastic ::

CTO Varn says:
@Self: What is in that?  It certainly calms them down

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: All in good time, Doctor

Ukuts says:
@U'Tahn: Yes, watch the lights   :: Stands and moves to the other room ::

Sojan says:
@U'Tahn: Ok...I like the lights.   :: Stands with Ukuts and moves to the other room with
him. ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Takes out his tricorder to examine the effects that the injectorate will have on the
V'Rax. ::

Ukuts says:
@:: Takes a seat next to Sojan and focuses on the lights ::

Host U’Tahn says:
ACTION: Sojan and Ukuts move to where the other V'Rax are watching pretty lights...

Sojan says:
@:: Lays her head on Ukuts shoulder and watches the lights. ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Remembers something Trial said to him. ::   Ukuts:  You see lights?

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: U'Tahn, are those lights also made with the rift device? I saw the other V'Rax when I went to the shuttle earlier

CSO Lane says:
:: Taps OPS on the shoulder ::   OPS: Still got the away team on sensors?

CSO Lane says:
<Duty OPS> CSO: Yes ma'am, they seem to be fine. They should be reporting in soon.

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: Yes, it is.   CMO: The injectorant calms them...they are easier to control

Ukuts says:
@:: A sense of calm comes over Ukuts ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO/CMO: Let's move to the other room...

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Carefully scans the V'Rax' head to see if the glucose is affecting visual data to the
brain. ::   U'Tahn:  Control them from what?

CTO Varn says:
@:: Waits for the right moment to activate the scan and hopes the Vesuvius will pick it up when he does, but he isn't betting on it ::   U'Tahn:  Of course U'Tahn

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Moves to the door waiting for his guests ::

CTO Varn says:
@ :: Walks into the next room ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: From harming themselves and others

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Engineering reports that the crystals seem to have adapted well to our systems, but please keep an eye on the power levels.

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  Harming others?  How U'Tahn?

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Enters the dormitory-like room filled with hundreds of V'Rax that are mesmerized

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  Maybe there is a reason for them to act dangerously.

CSO Lane says:
<Duty OPS> CSO: Yes Commander, I'll be sure to monitor that closely.   :: Grins ::

Ukuts says:
@:: Mouth slack, face showing no emotion, watching the pretty lights ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: A long time ago, the V'Rax somehow focused on one thought for longer than five minutes.  They killed anyone that wasn't V'Rax

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  It is common for species to act violent when they feel as if they are in danger.

Sojan says:
@:: Snuggles then goes comatose. ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: But they are different

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  How so?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: There was an accident that initiated the re-corporealization of their bodies...

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  That's the reason for the exoskeletons?

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  You mean that the accident is changing their bodies?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: Yes...and   CMO: Yes

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Moves through the room looking at all his charges ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Smiles back and then moves back to the Captain's chair and runs her hand along the arm as she whispers to herself ::   Self: Oh Sam, how I wish you were sitting here.

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Thinks for a moment. ::   U'Tahn:  What was this accident?

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Makes clicking noises as he thinks ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: Walks slowly and feels sorry for the V'Rax and understands why Sojan is so fascinated with his fur ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: There was an accident with another ship

Ukuts says:
@:: Leans head towards the left, never taking his eyes off the lights ::

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  But what happened in the accident that changed the V'Rax?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: I can't remember it all at the moment, but it was difficult for the V'Rax

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: A ship from a different dimension?  One that you're trying to find again?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: It was a ship from another dimension.  We are not trying to find it.  That is not my purpose

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: I see U'Tahn, forgive me, I meant no disrespect

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  Considering the significance of such a disaster, you must have detailed records in your computers?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: I don't have it here.  It is on my homeworld

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  Didn't you have your own personal ship to get here?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: U'Tahn pauses and waves the knife in the air, changing the lights to various designs. Music can now be heard as well....

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: It was left for me to use if needed

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  I see.

CTO Varn says:
@::Makes sure the tricorder is recording all of this and hopes it makes it back to the
Vesuvius ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Pauses ::   CTO/CMO: I know why you are really here

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: I distinctly remember smelling roses the first time   :: Goes quiet ::   Why is that U'Tahn?

Ukuts says:
@:: The corner of his mouth turns up in a smile at the music ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: It is perhaps what you were thinking of at the time?

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  We are not that transparent, pardon the pun.

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: No I was thinking of how much I needed to get my ship out of trouble that's all at the time

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: No, but you see, I do know why you are here.  It is not to help the V'Rax...though there is a strong desire in you to do that as well

CSO Lane says:
:: Sighs and then turns back to face the helm ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: Gets ready for anything ::

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  I am a Doctor, it is my duty according to the laws of my people to help all forms of life that are in need of medical attention.

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: And you are here to discover about the knife

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: Does it key in on a being's desires...Yes U'Tahn I am.  It could be very important to us...I won't lie to you anymore

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: As it is with my people

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Sees Sojan and Ukuts. Moves and gently caresses their heads ::

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: It's time to be open and honest about things as you have been with us

Sojan says:
@:: Smiles comes across her face as she feels that familiar touch. ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Looks over to the Ensign tactical officer. ::

Ukuts says:
@:: His eyes close half way, feels loved ::

CTO Varn says:
@CMO: Dr, he knows anyway, attempting to ignore that isn't going to help

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: Yes...it is time...   :: Makes clicking noises ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Nods at the CTO ::

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  May I scan the device U'Tahn?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: You may.   :: Holds out the knife ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Moves her chair over to the science station and checks the sensors ::

Host U’Tahn says:
CMO/CTO: Let me tell you a bit of history

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: Thank you U'Tahn   :: Quickly scans the "knife" ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Listens to the exiled Nacandarian. ::

Host U’Tahn says:
CTO/CMO: The Nacandarians introduced a virus to the V'Rax near the end of the war. It caused the V'Rax to fall into a stupor enabling my people to use a mind-controlling device to brain-wash them. A simple suggestion, or order, and they would follow it blindly.

Host U’Tahn says:
CTO/CMO: Many Nacandarians were opposed to their treatment.  I was most verbal and…my people considered me a threat to them….

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Sensors pick up an increase in the output of particles from the anomaly...

Host U’Tahn says:
CTO/CMO: You see, I am not a part of their hive mind…they can't access my thoughts.  However, I know at all times what they are doing, thinking, reacting, planning…plotting….

Host U’Tahn says:
CTO/CMO: The virus mutated over the years due to the existence of the chroniton particles in each V'Rax individual aura. I believe this is what cause their rapid health decline. The decline in their health also affects our control over them.

CSO Lane says:
:: Sees the increase in the particle output, her face showing a serious frown ::

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Contact the away team please.

Host U’Tahn says:
CTO/CMO: My people sent me here believing if I am far enough away, I would not be able to remain a part of the "hive"

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: So they revert back to the childlike beings they appear to be now?

CNS Martin says:
:: Glances up from her research and sees the CSO looking unhappy ::   CSO: Is something wrong?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: Yes, and eventually, they die

CTO Varn says:
@CMO: Dr?  Can we do anything else to help them?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Looks at the CTO. ::   CTO:  Sound a little bit like the Borg.

CTO Varn says:
@CMO: Disturbingly so

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: U'Tahn waves the knife in the air and carousel music begins to play. The shapes also change

CSO Lane says:
<Duty OPS> *Away Team*: Away team, this is the Vesuvius. Come in please.

CMO Bannister says:
@CTO/U'Tahn:  Now that I know that there is a virus involved, I may be able to help the V'Rax.

CTO Varn says:
@:: Hears Cmdr Lane ::   *CSO*: Cmdr we're finding out quite a bit here...I have the scans we wanted.  U'Tahn knows why we're here Ma'am

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: I hope so too.  Our doctors have given up

CMO Bannister says:
@U'Tahn:  I would like to try my best, if you would allow me to try.

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Looks at Ukuts ::   Ukuts: If you wish, my dear, you may dance to the music

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: Can you help us find our President, U'Tahn?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: Of course, Doctor

Ukuts says:
@:: Eyes grow wide.  Stands up and dances around the room ::

CSO Lane says:
*CTO*: Varn, the particles from the anomaly are increasing. We have to get you back aboard soon.

Ukuts says:
@:: A slow sweeping waltz, large movements ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Nods. ::   U'Tahn:  I shall go to the medical ward then.

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Understood Ma'am...Cmdr did they just recently increase?  I'm sending you the data on the device now, if it'll get through

Host U’Tahn says:
@All: You may dance if you wish as well, my dears...

Host U’Tahn says:
@CMO: Of course

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Leaves the room and heads for the medical ward. ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Many V'Rax get up and start to dance like Ukuts

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  The rift is getting worse U'Tahn,  Can we do anything to close it?

CSO Lane says:
*CTO*: Yes, just after you arrived on the surface. Is there something happening there?

Ukuts says:
@:: Restricts his arm movements as it's getting crowded ::

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Aye Ma'am.  We've made quite a breakthrough here...U'Tahn has told us all about the V'Rax

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: No...there is nothing you can do about it.  The crystals I gave you should protect your ships

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Arrives in the room and immediately begins to scan one of the V'Rax to get any info about the virus. ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Hears the CTO ::   CTO : There is so much more...

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Did you hear U'Tahn Cmdr?  The crystals should protect the ship. Dr. Bannister  is going to help them if he can

CSO Lane says:
*CTO*: Understood Ensign. Your data is coming through now.

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  I'm more than willing to listen U'Tahn but would the globe be able to let us know more quickly?

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Understood Ma'am

Ukuts says:
@:: While swaying his arms freely, he smacks another V'Rax in the face ::

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  I will listen or do whatever I can to help you U'Tahn

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Isolates the virus in the V'Rax's body and begins to scan it as best as he can with a tricorder. ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: Perhaps, after it is programmed

CNS Martin says:
:: Really isn't coming up with new theories, or anything new at all, from her research ::

Ukuts says:
@:: Moving around the room, floating like a flutter-butter ::

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: What can I do to help in the meantime?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Studies the data that is coming in on his tricorder to see if he can come up with any theories. ::

CTO Varn says:
@:: Wonders if the V'Rax would like hot dogs as much as their glucose injectorate ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Moves towards the door. ::   Ukuts: You can come with us, my dear and continue to dance

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: There is nothing you can do at this time

Host U’Tahn says:
@Sojan: You can come to, my dear and dance with Ukuts

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: I can listen to your story U'Tahn

Ukuts says:
@:: Follows U'Tahn, dancing a waltz ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: I will program the globe and you will know all that I do...

CSO Lane says:
:: Studies Varn's data as it scrolls across her screen ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: U'Tahn, the CTO, Ukuts and Sojan enter U'Tahn's office

CTO Varn says:
@:: Follows along, wondering if he's just thrown his career out the airlock ::   U'Tahn: Thank you U'Tahn

Ukuts says:
@:: So very eager to please ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: No, you will not have just thrown your career out the...airlock

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  It was that obvious?   :: Grins ::   Thank you U'Tahn

Ukuts says:
@:: Looks from the CTO and back to U'Tahn, the his eyes turn to towards the room with the lights and music ::

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Cmdr, is everything okay up there?

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Wonders how he is going to try to help the V'Rax. ::

Sojan says:
@:: Smiles at the lights and music. ::   Ukuts:  Dance?

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Moves to his console and quickly taps a few buttons ::

Ukuts says:
@:: Grins ::   Sojan: Yes!

Sojan says:
@:: Grins and holds out her arms ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Smiles at Sojan and Ukuts ::   CTO: They are not as far gone as the others in the room next door.  I enjoy having them near for company

CSO Lane says:
*CTO*: So far, everything is fine Ensign. This data you sent is most interesting. Have you witnessed the reaction to the glucose injection yet?

CTO Varn says:
@:: Watches the two V'Rax ::   U'Tahn: I can see why

Ukuts says:
@:: Does the same, standing at arms length, they hold hands and whirl around ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Checks with a nearby computer that is monitoring one of the V'Rax on a medical bed. ::

Sojan says:
@:: Giggles with joy. ::

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Yes Ma'am Dr Bannister scanned Sojan and a friend as U'Tahn injected them

Ukuts says:
@:: Winks and smiles ::

Sojan says:
@Ukuts: This is fun!   :: Throws back her head and laughs ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Sees a light on his panel flashing ::   CTO: You may wish to inform your ship and the others to move to the far side of Varnaxia, opposite of the anomaly

Ukuts says:
@:: Laughs also ::   Sojan: I like the music!

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Ma'am U'Tahn informs me that you and the fleet may want to move right now to the far side of Varnaxia with the anomaly on the opposite side

Sojan says:
@Ukuts:  Yesss!  So pretty and...and...happy.

CSO Lane says:
*CTO*: Understood Ensign, but is there a problem that he's not telling you about?

Ukuts says:
@:: Twirls Sojan around the room, faster and faster ::

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Watches Sojan and Ukuts and makes clicking noises ::

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Cmdr a light just flashed on U'Tahn's console.  I'd suggest going to Red Alert Ma'am

Host U’Tahn says:
@Ukuts: Be careful, Ukuts.  Do not twirl so fast

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: That's all I know

CSO Lane says:
:: Motions to the FCO to move the Vesuvius away from the anomaly and to the far side of the planet ::

Ukuts says:
@U'Tahn: Yes, yes...of course, too fast, will all fall down!

Ukuts says:
@:: Giggles ::

Sojan says:
@:: Is so disappointed when they slow down. ::   Ukuts:  Faster! Faster!

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Inform the rest of the wing to follow us.

CNS Martin says:
:: Glances about the bridge, rather distracted from her work ::

CSO Lane says:
<Duty OPS> CSO: Yes Commander.

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: Trouble?

Ukuts says:
@Sojan: No, no...U'Tahn say's be careful, we must slow down   :: Glint in his eye ::   but can go faster soon.

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: It is possible. Better safe than sorry.

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: Could you be more specific?

Sojan says:
@:: Giggles for they have a conspiracy to outwit U'Tahn ::   Ukuts: Ok…ok...   :: Grins back. ::

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: How long does that injectorate work?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: The anomaly is increasing its output of particles. This is unusual and could mean something

Ukuts says:
@:: Grins and slowly increases the speed to which they are dancing, just a little bit faster ::

CMO Bannister says:
@:: Takes his tricorder and scans to see how the V'Rax exoskeleton is holding up. ::

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn: Understood.  Thank you

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Mentally locks the door where the other V'Rax are...

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: All U'Tahn can tell me, or will tell me, is that the increase in output could signal something Ma'am

CSO Lane says:
*CTO*: Try and find out more Ensign. Is there a danger to the ship and the rest of the wing?

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: I am trying Ma'am

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: There could be...I'm not sure.  As I mentioned, this is unusual

CTO Varn says:
@U'Tahn:  Is there a danger to the ship U'Tahn?  Something more I can tell my superiors...Ma'am did you hear that?  U'Tahn says this is unusual

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Finishes programming the globe ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Checks the anomaly's particle output again ::   Self: I wonder if something could be coming through that rift?

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: I cannot be more specific at this time, I'm sorry

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Ma'am I'm about to be instructed by the globe again, maybe that will help   :: Nods his understanding to U'Tahn ::

Ukuts says:
@:: Looses self in the dance and enjoyment of his companion ::

CSO Lane says:
*CTO*: Be careful with that globe Varn. We don't know what it can do to your species.

Sojan says:
@:: Could dance all night. ::

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: I understand Ma'am but the benefits outweigh the risks.  I'll be careful though

Host U’Tahn says:
@CTO: You should not be harmed

Host U’Tahn says:
@:: Presses a button and calls for the globe ::

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: U'Tahn doesn’t think it will harm me Cmdr

Ukuts says:
@:: Dances with Sojan for the sheer enjoyment of it ::

CNS Martin says:
*CMO* Doctor, could you be so kind as to relay a bit of the information you're finding out down there, back up here? Then we can both work on the problem again

CSO Lane says:
*CTO*: Famous last words Ensign. Keep me informed.

CTO Varn says:
@*CSO*: Aye Ma'am

CMO Bannister says:
*CNS*:  I'd be glad to Counselor.

CNS Martin says:
*CMO* Thank you, I'll pick up the information in my office   :: Stands ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The globe arrives and hovers behind U'Tahn....
