A Leap of Faith, Part 4 … Moving to another location

The Vesuvius crew and Captain Savar of the Luna have witnessed the return of several thousand abducted humans. They have been told those from their respective ships have been returned as well. They have no memory of their abduction, and have aged not one bit.

They set off and arrived at an area where two Mayan temples stood. There, the blue and purple gems from the Vesuvius called forth the pink gem, and then all three brought forth the fourth, clear gem. They sped off to another location.

Now the Vesuvius crew and Captain Savar of the Luna are again back in Axion's saucer headed to another unknown location as they chase after the four gems….

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO McGrady says:
:: Tries to make heads or tails of their heading. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Pulls the tricorder out from where he'd hid it and deactivates the surprise. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Thinks this is a total waste of time that they will not get to return to their own time. ::

Luna Capt. Savar says:
:: His breath goes in and comes out slowly ... still rather quiet.  This whole situation seems more pomp and circumstance than necessary. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sits looking out of the window again. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: At the back of the ship not liking what is going on.  She tries to resist the urge to confront Axion and find out what happened to her children. ::

XO Darvo says:
Axion: This whole exercise was to find all the gems, now what?

Host Axion says:
XO: The gems have been found, but there is another purpose before I take you back to your ship.

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over as Ayla speaks. ::

XO Darvo says:
Axion: This wasn't part of the bargain....

CO McGrady says:
:: Looking to Axion with grim interest. ::

Host Axion says:
XO: It was ... a part of the bargain.  I know you have little patience, but your diligence is most appreciated

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Suddenly she stops. ::   Axion:  You there!  I would like to speak with you....   :: Starts walking towards him. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks over at the CO, hoping he might add something. ::
Axion: Patience? I have patience, but what I don't have is trust in you.

Host Sheri says:
:: Looks over to the empty seat and nods. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Looks back at Lieutenant Lorehani's outburst, then towards Axion. ::  Self: The children...

XO Darvo says:
:: Turns and looks at Lore. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
Axion:  You little buggers impregnated me, now where are my children?

Host Axion says:
XO: How is that Earth saying ... Ye of little faith?

Host Axion says:
:: Turns and looks at the blue lady who'd been calm and quiet until now. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Reconfigures the tricorder to record everything about the ship while Axion is being expertly distracted by Lorehani. ::

XO Darvo says:
Axion: Stuff it!   :: Stands and walks towards Lore. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
Axion:  Give me back what is mine!

XO Darvo says:
:: Grabs Lore's arm to get her attention. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Shakes off Darvo's hand ... intent on getting information. ::

Host Axion says:
:: Presses a button and a force field separates him from the rest of his passengers. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Stands and moves to assist the XO. ::   FCO: Lore, please.

CO McGrady says:
:: Makes a motion, and hits the force field. ::   Axion: What is the meaning of this, Axion?!

XO Darvo says:
FCO: Seems Axion doesn't want to speak with you right now, but I do. Care to join me in the rear of the saucer?

FCO Lorehani says:
XO/CSO:  No!!!  I want my children ... they abused me ... experimented with me against my will ... now he must pay...

Host Axion says:
CO: Protection from your crew member

XO Darvo says:
FCO: Lorehani, that's an order.   :: Points to the seat at the rear. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
XO:  Ma'am ... I just want my children ... maybe ... Quchant can blow up his force field ... or I can.  The coward can face what he has done.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The landscape under the saucer depicts dense forest....

CO McGrady says:
Axion: Here you see the fruits of your dreadful experiments?   :: Looks back to his officer. ::   Where are my Lieutenant’s children, Axion?

CSO Lane says:
:: Gently takes Lore's arm. ::   FCO: Calm down first and perhaps the Captain can get the answers to your questions.

XO Darvo says:
FCO: We need to talk, NOW!

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Come sit down

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Looks hard at the XO. ::   XO:  You'd do the same Ma'am!

XO Darvo says:
:: Returns the look. ::

Host Axion says:
CO: You were told what happened to them.

XO Darvo says:
FCO: Sit.

XO Darvo says:
:: Moves towards the back of the saucer. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Guides Lore to the chair in the rear. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
All:  Oh make me...   :: Picks up an object and throws it at the force field. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Turns around and cold cocks the FCO in the jaw. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Catches the FCO as she falls. ::

CO McGrady says:
Axion: Indeed ... they are to be revered in your society, but what of their mother, what of her rights?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Goes flying against Quchant, slowly rubbing her jaw she regards the XO. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: You know ... you'll end up losing your pants again if you're not careful

Host Axion says:
CO: She is lucky she wasn't killed in our experimentation.  Many other species did not survive.  She should relish her life.

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Oh you wish ... let me at her.  She hit me.

XO Darvo says:
FCO: If this is a war of wills, I will win, now take a seat, I have some bad news for you.   :: Softens her voice. ::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: C'mon Lore, sit down.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Holds the FCO back. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Or if you're lucky ... your choice

Luna Capt. Savar says:
:: Sighs lightly and watches the crew ... illogical emotions all around. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Sees that she is outnumbered, she begins to take deep breaths. ::

CO McGrady says:
Axion: What a cold, heartless view you have of life.  Expedite this mission, Axion!   :: Growing concerned as pandemonium erupts about the saucer. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Looks at Savar with a 'do something logical' look. ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The terrain below turns mountainous....

XO Darvo says:
:: Walks close to the FCO. ::   FCO: Lore please, this isn't easy for me, but we need to talk.

Host Axion says:
CO: Captain, she is alive because one in my sect oversaw her experimentation.  If it were any other, she would not be alive now.

Luna Capt. Savar says:
:: Looks back at the CEO. ::   CEO: I do not think anything can help at this point.  Except to remind her that at some point ... we will depart this craft, and there will be no force field.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Breathing heavily. ::   XO:  I just want my children and he is the key...
:: Points her head to Axion while struggling against Quchant. ::

CEO Quchant says:
Savar: And encouraging violence is logical is it?

CO McGrady says:
:: Checks his tricorder for their location. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Now, now dear ... I may have to sit on you if you keep this up ... do you really want that?

CSO Lane says:
:: Decides to let Lore go and let the XO and Quchant handle it. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Hands Commander Lane the tricorder. ::   CSO: We are in the Peruvian Andes.

Luna Capt. Savar says:
CEO: It would calm her in these cramped quarters.  And then you would be able to speak with her in a rational manner.

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Man, you always want to get on my body.  Get my children and we can discuss it....   :: Grins at him a bit. ::   In private.

CSO Lane says:
:: Moves back to the Captain. ::   CO: We are sir?   :: Takes the tricorder and looks. ::

CEO Quchant says:
Savar: Have you actually been introduced?

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks down and lowers her voice again. ::   Lore: Listen, please. The children did not survive, and they did not suffer. They and all the others are being honored by the Nezi.

CO McGrady says:
CSO: Indeed.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Stops breathing for a moment.  Very, very quietly she speaks. ::
XO:  What ... what did you just say?

XO Darvo says:
:: Steadies herself for another onslaught of anger. ::

CSO Lane says:
CO: I wonder where we are headed.

XO Darvo says:
FCO: Axion told us while we were on the Vesuvius that your children did not survive.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: A large mountain looms ahead.  The saucer heads for that location....

FCO Lorehani says:
:: She almost begins to hyperventilate, then sags against the CEO. ::

CO McGrady says:
CSO: My guess is an Inca temple of some variety, Commander.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Sits the FCO down and keep a hold of her trying to keep her calm. ::

XO Darvo says:
 :: Bending over she consoles the FCO. ::   Lore: I am deeply sorry for your loss.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Suddenly she pushes back against Quchant and then pushes Darvo out of the way and storms the force field. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sits down and goes over the tricorder then looks out the window. ::
CO: According to this terrain we could be.

XO Darvo says:
FCO: And you have the condole ...   :: Falls on her behind. ::

Host Axion says:
CO: Captain, we didn't have time to do a memory wipe on her.  It can be done if you so wish it.    :: Makes a course correction towards the mountain top. ::

CSO Lane says:
CO: There were several in this general area.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Tries to grab the FCO before she hurts herself and just manages to grab her pants. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Gathers what pride she still has, she jumps up and gives the FCO some breathing room, but watchful that she doesn't do anything stupid to jeopardize this mission. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Looks towards Lieutenant Lorehani, and breaths in with concern. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Pulls the phaser from the holster and sets it to stun, just in case. ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The FCO falls while the CEO holds only her pants....

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Falls on her face. ::   All:  Let me at him!!  Murderer we are in cahoots with a murderer!

CEO Quchant says:
:: Gives up and sits on the FCO. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks at the CSO and CO. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Feels Quchant sit on her. ::   CEO:  Hey!

CSO Lane says:
:: Looks over at Lore and Thomas on the floor. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Behave

CO McGrady says:
:: Stands up, and intercedes Lorhani's path. ::   FCO: Lieutenant!

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: That's an order

XO Darvo says:
:: Thinks right now Orders are the last think on her mind. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
All:  Why won't anyone let me exact my revenge for my children!  It's my right!

CO McGrady says:
FCO: His force field is impenetrable!

XO Darvo says:
FCO: This is not the time or place, no one here can fly this saucer.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The saucer approaches what appears to be an abandoned ancient city on the top of a mountain....

FCO Lorehani says:
CO:  I'm a woman on a mission!  I can find a way.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: I'll tie your antenna together if you don't cut it out

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Stops for a moment.  Turns and looks at him. ::   CEO:  Say what???

XO Darvo says:
FCO: Give it up, you're batting you head against a brick wall with no way to win.   :: Sighs. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: You heard me....

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Tie my antenna together that is the best you can come up with ... the Lothario of words?

CSO Lane says:
:: Takes another look out the window. ::   CO: Captain, we are approaching something ... a city ... it looks abandoned.

CO McGrady says:
Axion: I would highly recommend the swift conclusion of this mission ... your ... your hesitance may cost you your life!

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Then I work my way down ... anyway … it got your attention didn't it

XO Darvo says:
:: A war of words will keep those two busy so she turns towards the CSO and CO. ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Axion sets the saucer down in a clearing within the city. Decayed stone walls outline where buildings once stood

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Lets out a scream. ::   CEO:  Oh you wanted my attention did you ... stealing my pants in the shuttle bay wasn't enough?

XO Darvo says:
:: Bends over to look out the window. ::   All: lovely place you have here Axion, get may solicitors?

Host Axion says:
CO: I do not fear for my life ... only for the existence of my people

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Certainly not after I saw what was underneath them no...

Luna Capt. Savar says:
:: Has an illogical sense of pride that his crew doesn't quite do this. ::

Host Axion says:
XO: This place has been abandoned for a long, long time

CO McGrady says:
Axion: Just get on with it.  :: Can barely contain his aggravation. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Scans with the tricorder. ::   CO: No life signs sir.

XO Darvo says:
:: Over her shoulder. ::   CEO: I want you to keep the FCO on this saucer, stun her if you must.

CEO Quchant says:
XO: I'll try ... but I'm only just *so* dashing

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO: Huh ... well guess what honey ... you got more then you bargained for babe ... How are you with Klingon’s?

XO Darvo says:
:: Smirks. ::

CO McGrady says:
CEO: Belay that order.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: They are ok ... good with ketchup

CO McGrady says:
CTO: You are responsible for the Lieutenant's security.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grins. ::   CEO:  Korack will like you then ... He is like a father to me ... he will kill anyone who displeases me...

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: That's no problem ... and after I've won his approval ... what will you do?

CTO Liu says:
CO: You got it Captain.   :: Moves over to Lieutenant Lorehani. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Big smile comes across his face. ::   CEO:  He will marry us of course.

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The door opens for the crew to exit ... but a force field has been erected around the FCO and CEO....

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Deal

CEO Quchant says:
:: Blinks. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Hears the conversation between Lore and Thomas and looks down. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks back at Axion. ::   Axion: We have the means to control our own. The force field isn't necessary

CEO Quchant says:
:: Not sure what he has just agreed to. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Whispers, out of earshot to the XO. ::   XO: Axion has offered to erase Lorehani's memory...

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Oh man, that is if I even want you.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Of course you'd have to battle Hope

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Assuming you can manage that

Host Axion says:
XO: You have proven to me that I cannot take that chance.  She could disrupt the entire process

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks up at the CO. ::   CO: Is that wise? We must deal with our pain as well as our joys in life to be complete.

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Maybe neither of us will want you.  Ever think of that?

CO McGrady says:
XO: I am inclined to refuse, but this is a serious issue, and I needed some ... confirmation.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Quite possibly ... but then again ... I may die tomorrow too

XO Darvo says:
CO: Whatever you decide, I'll be behind you, sir.

CSO Lane says:
CO: Sir, shall I exit the saucer and check things out?

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Or even in the next few minutes...  You are stuck in here with me you know.

CO McGrady says:
CSO: Indeed, Commander.

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  I am a warrior…

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Have you seen the CSO when she's in a snit?

XO Darvo says:
CO: Sir, Axion has isolated the FCO behind a force field; do you think the CTO should remain?

CSO Lane says:
:: Heads for the doorway and steps out slowly. ::

CO McGrady says:
CEO: Commander Quchant ... I trust you have kept up with your security refreshers?

CEO Quchant says:
CO: A little better than my medical ... yes sir

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Laughs. ::   CEO:  That is where you are wrong.  Hope and I are friends.  I've saved her life ... she is my blood sister.

CSO Lane says:
:: Begins to scan the area from right to left. ::

CO McGrady says:
CTO: You’re with us, Lieutenant Liu.

CEO Quchant says:
CO: However I'm in here....   :: Puts his hand through the force field with no problem. ::   ... or not...

CTO Liu says:
CO: Alright Captain.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: I'm aware of your relationship.

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Hey can I do that...   :: Puts her hand through the force field... ::

  Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Only their hands exit the force filed before it hardens around it.

CO McGrady says:
:: Follows Commander Lane out of the saucer. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Exits the saucer, looking back over her shoulder. ::

Luna Capt. Savar says:
:: His tricorder continuing to record and send to the Luna, he steps outside of the saucer, placing foot again on Earth. ::

CSO Lane says:
CO: Sir, there are no life signs except for some of the local indigenous creatures.

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  And quite frankly if she wants you ... although I have to wonder why ... maybe I'll let her have you ... only if she wants, or maybe we will share.  We will have to discuss it.

CTO Liu says:
:: Exits saucer. ::

CO McGrady says:
CSO: Understood.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Goes slightly red at the mention of the word 'share'. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Doesn't holster her phaser, keeps it by her side. ::

CSO Lane says:
CO: Several buildings, all in different states of decay.

CO McGrady says:
Axion: Axion, to reply to your earlier offer, I will not have my officer's experience and memory diminished.  She must remember what your kind did to her, and to her children.

CEO Quchant says:
:: Still sitting on the FCO. ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The force field begins to lift from the ground and the FCO, along with the CEO rise from the ground with it....

Host Axion says:
CO: As you wish....

XO Darvo says:
:: Nods her thanks to the CO's wise words. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Looks like this ride is moving

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Ok this is not good.   :: Feels herself moving. ::

CO McGrady says:
CSO: Any sign of the gems?

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Hold on...

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Sighs. ::   CEO: You know Quchy ... he is just determined to piss me off.

CSO Lane says:
CO: Checking for energy readings ... found one just over there.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Don't descend to his level.  Preserve the honor of your family ... and of your children ... and don't let them have died in vain

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The subsequent bubble that the force field has become squeezes out the exit door.  Axion follows calmly after it…

CO McGrady says:
:: Sees Lorehani floating in a bubble in midair. ::

CO McGrady says:
XO: Really, this is too much...

XO Darvo says:
:: Turns to look where the CO is looking. ::   Self: Oh my

CSO Lane says:
:: Heads off to find where the reading is located exactly. ::

Host Axion says:
ALL: Please follow me....   :: Walks quickly among the stone walls... ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Trying to position himself so that when they fall he can break the fall. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Rolls eyes and wonders what next. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Grunts aloud, and follows Axion. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: At the mention of the word honor she shudders... ::   CEO: You can let me up now.  I can't go anywhere ... maybe I'll have a blood feud sworn against him and every Klingon in the House of Korack not to mention me will kill him on sight.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Then you better make room for a human in that

CSO Lane says:
:: Scans as they walk. ::

CO McGrady says:
Axion: I suppose it’s too much to ask what we are looking for?

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Looks at him with tears in her eyes and speaks quietly. ::   CEO:  Thank you...

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Axion moves to a stone raiser of some kind.  Suddenly the gems appear hovering above the sculpted rock....

CSO Lane says:
CO: Captain, the energy reading is getting stronger.

Host Axion says:
CO: There....   :: Points ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks to where Axion is pointing. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Follows Axion’s direction. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: After all ... considering I may have just agreed to be a member of the family

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO: Well I hope you like worms ... Korack will serve it at the wedding feast.

CSO Lane says:
:: Scans the gems. ::   CO: That's the same signature.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: I love gagh....

XO Darvo says:
:: Rubs her fist gently where it come into contact with the FCO's jaw. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Nice and fresh and wriggling

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO: Good.   :: Looks around. ::   Where do you think we are going....?
:: Pauses a moment. ::   DO you think Cmdr Darvo will charge me?

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The stone raiser has some sort of script written upon it.  There are four indentations in the stone with lines connecting the small holes....

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Ask her to be maiden of honor ... perhaps she will forget about it

XO Darvo says:
:: Studies the script. ::

CO McGrady says:
CSO: Can you get a translation of that text?

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO: You think that she is that easily fooled?

CSO Lane says:
:: Bends down and examines the script. ::   CO: I can try sir.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: No ... but she's a female ... and they like that sort of thing

CO McGrady says:
XO: Surely, those holes are placeholders for the gem ... this must be a key.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Laughs. ::   CEO: Spent much time as a female have you?

CSO Lane says:
:: Runs the tricorder over the script and waits for a translation. ::

XO Darvo says:
CO:  That's what I'm beginning to think, sir.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: That's classified

CSO Lane says:
CO: Sir, it's some ancient language form, but it's not in our language database.

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Grins. ::   CEO:  So do you like heals or flats?

CO McGrady says:
:: Eyes Axion dubiously as he awaits the translation. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Depends on the outfit...

CO McGrady says:
CSO: Blast.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Anyway ... we seem to be contained ... and you seem to be calming down

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  If we get married.  You can't wear my clothes.

CO McGrady says:
Axion: What does this script say, Axion?

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: What clothes?

Host Axion says:
All: It reads, "To Be ... Or Not To Be"....

CO McGrady says:
XO: Clever.

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  I have no beef with you ... Just that coward out there who cannot stand up to a warrior like a man.

CO McGrady says:
Axion: By that, am I to assume that Shakespeare was a Nezi?

Host Sheri says:
:: In a very loud voice. ::    ALL: Our time is upon us....

XO Darvo says:
CO: In the original Nezi?   :: Smirks. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Grabs her hand as they float there and turn to look at Axion. ::

Host Axion says:
:: Glances at the CO and only smiles. ::   CO: No, he was human....

CO McGrady says:
XO: I thought it was Klingon.   :: Smirks. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
:: She looks at Axion ... feels Quchant's hand in hers. ::   CEO:  He should be killed just for that speech...

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks at the CO and shrugs her shoulders, a weak smile on her face. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Just like being back at the academy

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The gems begin to rotate in place....  The first to descend into a depression is the blue gem....

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns to see Thomas holding Lore's hand and nods and smiles to herself. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Watches the show, wishing she had some popcorn. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Tell me about it ... even our instructors would shoot this guy. ::

Host Axion says:
All: The first is in place...

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: You should see some of the old pre federation vids I've seen ... this is classy compared

CSO Lane says:
:: Records the gems and what they are doing. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Sighs and wishes this were over. ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The second gem to descend is the purple gem....

CO McGrady says:
CTO: Be ready for anything, Lieutenant Liu.

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Yeah but they had something called paper airplanes then ... we can't even shoot those at this guy.

XO Darvo says:
:: Hears the CO and checks the setting on her phaser. ::

CTO Liu says:
CO: I always am Captain.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Just wait until we're back on the ship and the holodeck’s are up ... and then you can find a way of taking out your aggression

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The third gem to descend is the pink gem … and the wind begins to pick up....

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Well I do have this great exercise program...   :: Lets the suggestion sink in. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Oh?  Do tell

FCO Lorehani says:
:: Winks at him. ::   CEO:  Sorry it's a secret but I maybe willing to share...
:: Looks him up and down. ::   If the price is right.   :: Laughs. ::

Luna Capt. Savar says:
:: Looks at the sky ... curious coincidence that the wind would pick up now. ::

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Ah ... I see....   :: Squeezes her hand. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Continues to record the event. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO: Hmmm...   :: Grins to herself. ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The three gems in the stone send a radiating blue light to the crystal that hovers above the stone....

XO Darvo says:
:: Shields her eyes from the wind that has picked up particles of dust. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Watches with much interest. ::

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns into the wind slightly. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO: Hmmm I wonder what that is all about...   :: Watches the show with interest. ::

CO McGrady says:
:: Peers at the lightshow through the blowing dust and debris. ::

CEO Quchant says:
:: Looks at the dust and is rather glad, again, that he's in the bubble. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO: Looks like they all will be taking showers tonight.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Now there's an idea

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The crystal descends into the center depression, and the blue light begins to extent outward enveloping the crew in a soft energy wave....

CSO Lane says:
:: Wipes the dust from her eyes. ::

XO Darvo says:
:: Looks around her at the rest of the crew, wondering what next. ::

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO: All I got is an old dumb sonic shower.

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: Ah well ... not me

CO McGrady says:
Axion: What is happening, Axion!?

CEO Quchant says:
:: Winks at the FCO. ::

Host Sheri says:
ALL: Emergence!

FCO Lorehani says:
CEO:  Oh....   :: Sees the wink. ::   Ooooohhhhh ...  please tell me the water is hot?

CEO Quchant says:
FCO: I'm the engineer ... what do you think...

XO Darvo says:
:: Doesn't like the sound of that. ::

XO Darvo says:
