Mission Summary:

The Crew have escaped from their "Prison", and are now headed to find the counsel of the mysterious computer. NODAM.

In a dark, foreboding citadel looming above the city, the artificial intelligence, possibly linked to the Crew's fate here, sits and waits.

Questions will be asked, answers will be given. Whether they are the ones the crew expects...that is where the mystery lies.

SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::Ensign Sean Scottson sits at the Science I console, running a comparative analysis on the chronoton field detected near the planet Obaus IV::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::carefully moving in alongside of the adjacent buildings of NODAM, gesturing the rest to follow him::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::sitting in his office on deck 15 going over the data from the last contact from the away team::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::Lindsay moves next to Captain Black quickly, making sure to keep her eyes open for any of the alien guards that seem to have flooded the streets in the past hour:: CO: You think we may have been discovered?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::sitting in her quarters tossing a rubber ball against the wall::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::follows the CO and OPS keeping on hand resting on her phaser::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He sighs as the data from the analysis comes back to him and he glances at a schematic of the navigational deflector. Tapping several controls, Ensign Scottson opens the comm system:: *OPS* Ensign Scottson to Lieutenant Delar.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Pollard: We have definitely been noticed as we exited the room we where in... Sufficient to assume they are on the look out for us... and..  ::glances around::  so far they haven't found us yet....
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Looking around waiting  for a chance to dump his weapon for a better one::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::leans over to her comm badge on the floor next to a pile of clothes and taps it::*SO*:I hope this is important I'm very busy. ::tosses the ball again::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::bows over to the XO::  XO: Commander...do you have a baring on the entrance to NODAM's structure on your tricorder ?
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He sighs audibly and glances back at the information before him:: *OPS*: Ma'am...Lieutenant Delar suggested that I work on setting up a "Tachyon Emissive Pulse," using our deflector array...but I've been having difficult modifying the control system...I was wondering if you could help me.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and gestures in a general direction:: CO: Its a gate, the readings suggest it won't be coming to pieces easily.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looking around:: ALL: I want every phaser on heavy stun. And if you find a rifle type weapon exchange it for you phaser. Keep your phaser as spare!
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::leaves his office and heads for the TL::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
:;looks at the readings then adds:: CO: Also two life forms probably guards both Naturian outside the gate.
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::Pollard watches the away team work on escaping from their current predicament, and moves over to take custody of Ensign Kerak - the slightly eccentric Chief Medical Officer::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::raises an eyebrow::*SO*:Well I'd love to help you ensign, really I would but I've kind of gone and locked myself in my quarters...not to mention I'm not sure that Lieutenant Delar is particularly fond of the idea of me doing anything...but if you can get over here with a torch I might be able to help you...
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: The streets look clear as the last scouting party of armor-clad guards passes away from the crew
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: Very well.... let's move to the right side gate quickly, we'll stay out of sight...    All: Follow me...   ::increases his pace and moves to the gate in a circle to avoid detection by the guards::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He looks confused:: *OPS*: Torch, ma'am?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::makes a quick check of the tricorder to try and establish what they come to after the gate then she quickly and carefully follows the CO::
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: As the crew moves forwards, the gates come into a view. Huge, at least 30 feet and as thick as a person is wide. In front of it stand two guards chatting amiably
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
:;turns to watch OPS and the FCO::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::Lindsay follows behind Black quickly, holding her phaser tightly in one hand, and dragging Kerak along with her other hand::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@*SO*:Yes. Torch, welding tool...mine died, I don't think it was meant for long usage...but you just come up to my quarters and help me out and I'll come and tweak the system for you
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Moves closer and aims for the two guards:: Guards: drop the weapons, lads!
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@*OPS*: Ummm, aye ma'am. Scottson out. ::He looks confused to, and wonders why the senior officer would need a torch in her private quarters::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::sighs at the FCO's blunt approach and quickly takes position next to him, point his phaser at the two guards as well::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
:: takes the TL to the bridge::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::Pollard takes cover and pulls Kerak with her. She quickly takes aim and covers Black and Exeter::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
Guards: Drop the weapons, I won't mind killing ya.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::does not join the CO and FCO immediately and takes a stance watching what is going on around the pair of them, awaiting trouble from everywhere now::
Host SM_Jim says:
<Guard 1> ::turns and looks at the phaser-wielding person:: FCO: Who, may I ask, are you? ::points his rifle at the FCO, his friend doing the same::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::nods to herself and continues tossing the ball against the wall catching it within inches of bouncing off her nose::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
Guard 1: Your worst nightmare, drop the weapon and walk away............. and I'll let you live!
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::Scottson moves over to the far side of the bridge and grabs an Engineering repair kit from one of the bridge supply lockers. He opens the case to check that there is a laser welder present in the case and nods to him as he heads towards the turbolift::
Host SM_Jim says:
<Guard 2> ::turns his rifle to the CO, a look of fear in his eyes. "I'm just doin' my job!"::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::walks to his console and looks over the sensor logs::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::sighs and sets his phaser for wide spread and fires at the two guards, at full stun::  Guards: Sorry guys... we don't have the time...
Host SM_Jim says:
<Guard 1> ::snorts and fires his rifle at the FCO::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::watches the situation carefully ready to turn her weapon on the guards if needed but still  keeping an eye on their surroundings::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Fires his phaser at the guard aimed at the head::
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: The shot gets off just before the two guards fall, stunned. It hits Exeter high in the chest, knocking him for six
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods as she watches the guards fall and quickly bends down to the FCO to access him::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::Yelps lightly from behind her cover, watching as Exeter flies through the air::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::stands up, brushing herself off and walks over to the closet, looking around the disaster that is her quarters before slipping into some clothes::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::on the floor feeling very pissed off:: ALL: did anybody get the license of that freighter
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::turns to the FCO and sighs::  FCO: You all right ?
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He glances at Lieutenant MacAllister once and then the turbolift doors:: CTO: Sir, still no chance in our status. I am proceeding to Lieutenant Delar's location in hopes of setting up a Tachyon Emissive Pulse, Lieutenant Delar believes it may open up the anomaly...sir...
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: The area is eerily quiet
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::blinks as he speaks still looking over him she stands and offers the FCO her hand to help him up::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Do I look bloody alright........ I had right of way and I got hit. ::tries to stand up and lands back on his ass:: I hate getting hit.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Pollard: Lieutenant... give me hand here... any idea's on how to open this huge gate?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@SO: If Lieutenant Delar believes it will work it must be worth a try, carry on ensign.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::grins::  FCO: Remember, shoot first... ask questions later...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::just nods at him and offers her hand again::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::Lindsay makes sure that Kerak is secure with some of the other team members and she rushes over to Black - keeping low:: CO: There should most likely be an override circuit somewhere...::She begins looking along the wall::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Gets up shaking his head and blinking every second:: CO: I feel like a Sunday......... after a heavy Saturday.
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He nods and heads into the lift:: Computer: Deck 2. ::As the lift moves, he finds himself on Deck 2 and steps out onto the level, right below the bridge:: Self: Alright, now where were the senior officer's quarters? Ah, yes...this way...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks at the gates once the FCO is standing extremely thoughtfully::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Pollard::  Pollard: Very well..  ::gestures the rest of the team to converge in his location::  FCO/XO: Keep on your toes... when this gate opens we'll only have a small window to get to a secure place....
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::stands in front of the mirror carefully pulling her hair back into a tight bun, mouth full of pins as she starts stabbing into it to hold it in place::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::She notices a small control pad hidden near the gate, a small 0-9 number pad placed on the face of the console:: CO: Found it sir...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Pollard: Good work, Lieutenant... proceed as you see fit...  ::whispers::  All: Get ready...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::gets on of the guards weapons and holsters his phaser grabbing some spare ammo:: Lindsay: Great dial for a pizza I’m hungry ::grins::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::runs some routine scans::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CO: before we go in a warning there are lots of people in here, :;as if she is going to say more she opens her mouth, then falls silent::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
CO: Aye sir...::She glances at the control console and pulls out her tricorder. As she does, she does her best to scan the console, hoping the console may be able to determine a sequence to the code::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
::He locates the senior officers quarters and moves up to the one currently occupied by Lieutenant Brenna Delar, and taps the chime::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::holds back his phaser as he watches the gate with anticipation::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::spits out the hair pins on the dresser:: SO: Enter if you can ::as she finishes putting her hair in place::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
::He taps the enter control and the door opens quickly. The middle aged Ensign Scottson steps into the main living area and looks around:: OPS: I brought the torch for you, ma'am...along with specs of the deflector, and a repair kit.
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
CO: It's ten digit code, I won't be able to decrypt it...::She scans the doors control mechanism:: But a phaser sent of power level 6 should be able to over-ride the controls...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@:turns to face him putting one hand on her hip before walking over and taking the PADD from him:: SO: I knew welding wasn't my strong suit...anyway to the deflector shall we or...no perhaps the bridge?...where is your chief anyway?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::still with one hand resting on her phaser and the other holding the tricorder she waits to see if OPS can open the gate::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  Pollard: Very well...  .:nods at the FCO to assist Pollard::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@OPS: I believe he is working in the astrophysics laboratory...we may have more luck from the bridge, ma'am...shall we?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::pauses for a moment at hearing ma'am before quickly walking out into the corridor:: SO: Of course..who has the bridge right now?
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::Pollard replaces her phaser in her holster and sets her phaser to a level six setting, and takes aim, waiting for Exeter to join her:: FCO: Ready, sir?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::gets out his phaser and takes aim:: Pollard: aye!
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@OPS: Lieutenant MacAllister just arrived for his shift. ::He follows beside Delar and makes his way to the turbolift:: I have updated him of our progress, and informed him about the Tachyon pulse theory, sir.
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::She fires at the control console and cringes, awaiting the overload::
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: As the panel sparks and fuses, the gates creak and slide open and into the walls. The mass of the NODAM Citadel looms before the Crew, dark and foreboding
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@:nods:: SO: Ensign...tell me..you have heard of what condition I'm in right now haven't you?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks ahead then left and right , before even checking her tricorder::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He shakes his head as they enter the lift:: OPS: No, ma'am, I have not. I was informed of your coma, however beyond that I know nothing...why?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the FCO and Pollard::  Pollard/FCO: Excellent work... let's move it... ::gestures as he moves in quickly::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::smiles:: SO: Sounds about right...surprised Rowan hadn’t mentioned it to you before you asked for my help.or does he know?
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::She nods and re-holsters her weapon before guiding Kerak through the gate-way::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He shakes his head as the lift comes to a stop on the bridge:: OPS: No ma'am, however being the Chief Operations officer, I figured that you would be the most skilled in this area...::He steps on the bridge and nods to MacAllister once::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::scans the AT's last known position::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::moves through the gates with the others then looks down momentarily and sweeps the area with the tricorder, speaking as soon as she sees the information:: CO: Sir, two groups of people averaging fifty in a group, one over that way ::gestures left:: the others over there on our right.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::quickly runs up a few steps and arrives at the entrance to the citadel::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::Nods to the SO and OPS as they enter::
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: The doors to the Citadel open as the CO nears them. He can see a long corridor lead up to another set of doors, the letters "N.O.D.A.M." are inscribed upon them
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::steps onto the bridge and looks over at MacAllister:: CTO: Lieutenant ::nods his way before making her way to her console and logging into LCARS::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::Tries not to react to seeing the Lieutenant’s glowing eyes::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::She looks along the long corridor and has an ominous feeling about this - getting in was too easy:: EO: A trap perhaps?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
XO: Acknowledged...we have to outrun them here...  I think the only way is inside here... deviating would mean running into those people...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: Lieutenant.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::turns to the engineer:: EO: what do you make of this ::shows him the low EM signature the tricorder is showing:: Possibly just NODAM?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::sits down, settling herself in and tapping away for a moment looking don at the PADD in her hand:: SO: So what exactly is the problem here anyway?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
<@>
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CO: Agreed. It seems we have little time to get what we need. But it all seems so easy.
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He moves alongside Delar and glances over at MacAllister:: OPS: Lieutenant Delar theorized that if we could create a Tachyon Emissive Pulse, with modulating chronotron levels and frequencies...we might be able to force open the anomaly that the crew entered...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks back for the EO's comments::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
XO: I know... but if we don't act quickly we'll have a lot of time thinking about that one...  ::moves into the structure with his phaser drawn::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::nods to the SO:: OPS: Realistically, what are the chances of that working?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::nods slowly:: SO: Makes sense..so what's the problem, the control protocols just won't respond?
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: As the crew walk down the corridors, they see indentations ten feet apart. Each one contains a large robot man, at least 8 feet high. In place of arms it has two large, and rather frightening, heavy weapons. They appear powered down...for now.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods again to the CO and follows him::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He nods slowly and glances at MacAllister:: OPS: Yes...and well, I don't know how we're going to create a stable pulse...all the tests I've run show the pulse deteriorating before it reaches the planet...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the robots:: CO: This doesn't look good....... did we bring any explosives?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks at the robots and is not comforted by their presence::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::She notices the robotic weapons and gulps loudly:: Out loud: Definitely a trap...::She holds Kerak closer and shudders::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@CTO: The chances are raised from nil to something, I don't know, it could also go horribly wrong and open a rift...or it could just not work and we try something else...I don't know, I'm just taking a poke at the controls let my..husband..worry about the mechanics, if this is the plan he approved I trust his judgment
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@SO: Well...I hate to say it but we might just need to get closer, apply it by remotely flown runabout perhaps?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: Well, it's a shot in the dark, but it's worth a try. Let's hope it hits the target.
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He nods:: OPS/CTO: What about using a probe? We could relay the pulse through the probes energy matrix?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
All: I think there is something I should mention, before we entered the complex, I felt something, like insanity, well whatever was suffering from it is now getting slightly agitated.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: Keep alert.... FCO: I doubt it would make any difference...  ::pushes the rooms open in front him::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
XO: Perhaps we should speed up? ::She looks to the Commander and Captain for input and orders as she holds the slightly babbling Chief Medical Officer::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::nods slowly:: SO: That might just do the trick, not to mention being able to keep up scans and get a better shot, good thinking ensign, will you need help with modifications?
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: The doors swing open and the crew step into the largest room of the building. The walls are stacked with what appears to be a half biological - half mechanical racks. The reach up and up until they disappear into the dark that must lead on further, past what the crew can see.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@SO/OPS: I agree.
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: A large pedestal stands in front of them, bathed in light
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@OPS: More then likely, yes ma'am...
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
::She steps into the large room of the citadel and looks up - way way way up...:: Out loud: Wow...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Please try and ensure the CMO is safe through this. And yes I'm inclined to agree the quicker we do this the quicker we get out of here.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at his XO::  XO: Commander, scan this room please...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::moves to the pedestal, to examine it closer::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the CO without taking her eyes away from the tricorder:: CO: very interesting, this is what we are here to find, I think, it's a bio mechanical storage device. ::watches the tricorder still and then remembers her manners and adds:: Sir.
Host NODAM says:
::In an extremely loud, deep and booming voice:: All: I know of you, Scimitar Crew.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@SO: Alright...enlist all the engineers you need...I don't think they're doing anything else right now anyway...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
ALL: Great we get the insane stupid machine with the loud booming voice
Host NODAM says:
ACTION: Sounds of fighting can be heard outside of the compound. The doors close and you hear the snap of a lock activating
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::Keeps up his scans of the surface::
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
Out loud: Anyone reminded of the Wizard of Oz? ::She looks around the massive, dark room and watches Black thoughtfully::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
NODAM: We thought so much.... NODAM I assume?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Please, try and keep the CMO safe should anything happen. ::spins around::
Host NODAM says:
::A deep chuckle emanates around the room:: CO: That is I. Loved and feared throughout the Galaxy
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@OPS: Aye ma'am...::He thinks:: Perhaps we could fire a test probe now? See how the anomaly reacts to the Tachyon field?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::stands and walks over to tactical extending her hand for a moment:: CTO: Lieutenant, I apologise for not meeting before now...but unfortunately, I don't remember when you came on board, so I might have met you already
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
NODAM: Then you know why we have come to "visit" you....
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::nods:: SO: Yes, do as you see fit, I don't think you'll need my help anymore ensign, but thank you for the consideration
Host NODAM says:
CO: I know everything, Captain Black of Starfleet. I know everything there is to know, and everything that ever shall be known
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: We may have passes in the corridor but I wouldn't exactly say we'd 'met' until now. ::holds out his hand:: Ethan MacAllister.
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
@OPS: Thank you ma'am...::Ensign Scottson presses several controls and launches one of the Scimitar's class IX probes, directing it into orbit of Obaus IV. As he does, the Ensign sets up the deflector for a Tachyon pulse, and holds his breath::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::shakes his hand:: CTO: Brenna Mo-uh...Delar...uh...I think we should have a little chat mister McAllister...alone...if you don't mind...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  NODAM: That much is clear.... the main question is, how did we get here and how do we get back ?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks increasingly interested in the tricorder, but lifts her head momentarily whilst she gives NODAM a moment of consideration::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: I don't mind at all.
Host NODAM says:
::another laugh echoes around the room, making the Crew wince:: CO: I can do this for you. My time is short, but my calculations are finished. You have served your purpose to me, Captain Black. Now you shall get your payment
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::mumbles to himself:: Self Why is it that whenever a malevolent god like being speaks of rewarding you, it feels so much like a bad thing.
Host NODAM says:
CO: Captain Black of Starfleet. I know everything there is to know. I am the seer. The knower. The guider. I have brought the Naturians a gift that they have rejected. Now I offer my services to you before I set you free. You may ask of my but two questions. I know the answers to them all
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::motions towards the observation lounge:: CTO: I'm sorry but...something has occurred and I'd rather not have the subordinate officers know about it
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::He monitors the probe as he moves to the directed coordinates. The computer signals that the probe and pulse are ready. The Ensign sighs to himself and activates the Tachyon emissive pulse...::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks slightly surprised with these words and then has a very curious expression::
Host NODAM says:
ACTION: As the pulse passes through the distortion around the planet, it wavers and shifts. A swirling mass appears at its centre
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: I assure you Lieutenant anything you tell me will be handled with the utmost discretion.
LtJG_Lindsay_Pollard says:
@::As small swirling vortex appears on his sensors and the middle aged Ensign smiles to himself, directing the probe through - scanning for the emergency beacons of the away team::
Host NODAM says:
ACTION: The Probe flies through the "Wormhole", and a very faint reading is sent back to the ship. But it is surprisingly clear. "Stand By. Scanning..."
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: Perhaps we should just make our way home sir? ::has a concerned expression on her face::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
NODAM: I...I have a question.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: steps forward timidly ::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::nods:: CTO: I understand that, but it's not about discretion so much as the company we're keeping...I shouldn’t be up here sir...uh...I...I've suffered a bit of a medical problem, and unfortunately it means that...I've...I'm suffering from a bit of amnesia and...well...the eye thing ::looks around for a moment::
Host NODAM says:
::a roar sounds:: XO: You deny my gift! ::the voice calms down rather eerily quickly:: EO: Ask, Ensign Kamarov. I shall answer!
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::follows OPS to the OBS lounge and secures the door behind them::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: Remember what I discussed feeling before we came through the gates, well its increasing again.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at his XO::  EO: Quickly Ensign....
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
NODAM: Could....Could I have performed the frequency wave generator .....Without ...without killing Lt. Anderson?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::steps through the door and over to the replicator selecting a glass of water and watching as it shimmers into existence::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: Now we're alone, you were saying?
Host NODAM says:
::The voice calms, and sounds almost sympathetic:: EO: No. What was meant to happen happened. Lieutenant Anderson was doomed to die on the vessel Scimitar. Without his death, everyone would have died. It is the Balance in all things that make such events possible
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::Scan results come back from the other side of the rift and he smiles - detecting a planet and what appears to be the beacons from the away team::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: sighs in relief...a load being lifted from his shoulders.  :: NODAM: Thank you.
Host NODAM says:
::resumes the deep, booming voice:: All: You have one more question. Ask it and I shall answer. Then you may return home
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
NODAM: Second and last question...   Does the A.N.A. form a serious threat to the safety of the Federation?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods slightly impressed by its answer, but still getting as much information as she can::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: Lieutenant?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::takes a seat a the table:: CTO: Rowan and I are...not so much on speaking terms at the moment due to this occurrence I...I don't remember anything right now...I...I've destroyed everything I worked so hard for and I don't remember any of it ::shakes her head, wiping absently at her cheek for a moment brushing away a stray tear::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: steps back into the crowd....feeling strangely better...almost like himself.  Especially since he is behind the XO.  Smiling as he notices how well her uniform suits her. ::
Host NODAM says:
::the laugh returns, sounding throughout the room:: CO: The Airilian people are weak and divided...however unified - they will become strong. In their strength, you will face death and destruction. The sword shall be broken, and you will become lost...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: If I may ask, how did this happen? Do you remember that much?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::sighs::  Self: Optimistic world view....   NODAM: Thank you.... I will keep it in mind... mow...  ::pauses for a moment::  we need to get on our way again...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
<now>
Host NODAM says:
::the laughter stops:: All: Your ship is waiting for you. Heed my words, Captain Black of the Scimitar.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@CTO: And worst of all I'm pregnant so it's making me a wreck...I..until this is dealt with...will not be serving on active duty anymore...I cant, I don't have the experience...it was...while we were on our honeymoon, we were lost and trying to get home, and somehow it happened, but I don't remember any of it...nothing since a week after graduation
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::Hands Brenna a hankie::
SO_Ens_Scottson says:
@::Scottson smiles to himself, and he sends Lieutenant Delar a signal informing him of their success. As she does, the Ensign actives the transporters and beams the away team aboard, using the probe as a carrier signal::
Host NODAM says:
ACTION: The probe returns the signal to the Scimitar "Your friends return. Energize, Ensign Scottson"
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS Did you not manage to get hold of the sensor logs from the trip?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::takes it appreciatively:: CTO: Anyway...I...I'm sorry for putting all this on you, but that ensign wants my help and I just cant give it...he's got more knowledge in all this then I do...I just...can't do this right now, I'm sorry, but if his little trick doesn't work that puts you as most senior officer on board
Host NODAM says:
ACTION: A flash of light in the chamber blinds the crew. As they open their eyes they see...Transporter Room 1. Their home
