Summary - The crew of the U.S.S. Scimitar - errr...U.S.S. Yamato, have recently sent an away team to the surface of Varnaxia, the home planet of the V'Rax people...

The Yamato team was sent on the shuttle-craft Icarus, a vessel fated to fail...the shuttlecraft, under the controls of expert pilot Brenna Delar has crashed on the barren surface of Varnaxia, and drawn the attention of a rather peculiar group of aliens, the ADD afflicted V'Rax.

Exeter, Black and MacAllister have been left on the U.S.S. Yamato...along with former Chief Engineer Karla Leasha...or at least the dead heap that was once Karla...

The crew is now separated, and lost in a time not their own. Karla has passed into oblivion, and time is now of the essence. Is this Starfleet's first contact with the V'Rax?

@::watching the V’Rax curiously, wondering how they can seem so interested in anything and everything::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax 1> ::The slender female, a grey skinned creature moves towards Janan and smiles oddly. She notably forces her mind into Karida's:: ~~~XO: You the leader?~~~
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::sitting on the bridge looking bewildered in front of him::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::presses the button next to the speaker:: *YSec*: Armory to the bridge.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::walking around looking at the crew and then looks at finding someway to check if they are alright::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::watches the creatures wearily, leaning her head against the wall of the shuttle trying to remember the proper configuration of the ancient comm systems::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - A small group of V'Rax make their way in and around the Icarus, looking at it, and then turning up to look at the sun, the back at the craft.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::looks towards Smyth and then the team who are mostly scimitar's remind herself to keep things simple:: ~~~V'Rax: Yes ::pauses:: What is your name?~~~
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
*CTO* How can I help you?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@OPS/CEO: What is the status of the shuttle will it fly again?
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@:: Trying to keep control over his sensing of emotion, he merely stands looking over the V'Rax::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::looks at what is left of Main engineering and the make shift beds still holding her hand from where she cut it::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Lights flicker in the Scimitar Engine Room. The sound of the Dreamscape invaders seems to be distant...and is not approaching...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*YSec*: I can't seem to reach anyone in engineering, can you try and get an engineering team to meet me at the tactical control center ?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::looks at the V'Rax still interested:: CSO/YXO: Interesting aren't they ::appears fascinated by them::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@XO: Mostly she's functioning, but our under hull is in shreds...it'll need to be repaired before we can leave the atmosphere
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
*CTO* Will do, They should be down shortly
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Winces slightly at the lights and hears the dreamscape in the distance:: Self: Please don't let them know I am here
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::notes the CEO unease, genuinely appears concerned:: ~~~CEO: Are you okay?~~~
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*YSec*: Acknowledged. ::makes his way back to the TCC::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Shakes his head, and looks to the XO:: XO: Ah...one moment. ::Accesses whatever information he can from internal sensors:: XO: I think it...should fly. I'll have to check the outer hull manually, I'm not getting any readings from it.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax 1> ~~~XO: I have no name of which to give you...we only just arrived. Janan...you are the leader. You come from the Scimitar. What is a Scimitar?~~~
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@OPS: Thank you ::looks thoughtful:: Do we have any form of comm system here?
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::whispers something to a crew member of the bridge:: *CTO* My assistant will bring down 2 engineers with him, I hope this helps
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::thinks of what she can say to answer this, something is not right but she does not know what yet, causing her more concern:: ~~~V'Rax: Scimitar is our home.....How did you get here?~~~
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Doesn't seem to be able to see anything attached to the crew and goes up to Janan and shakes her slightly to see what happens::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::arrives at the TCC and starts working on trying to get the lights to stop flickering while he waits for the engineers::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::nods to the CEO:: CEO: That would be nice, please give us an estimate to the time it will take to repair the hull.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::shakes his head slowly, looking around the battered shuttle until his eyes come to rest of Brenna...she's working so hard::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Minimal power stabilizes in the Tactical Control Centre...at least only a few consoles are dead and flickering.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Still staring into ongoing nothingness::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@XO: Well, we might be able to keep comm contact with each other, but not with the ship...we're in trouble but nothing we can't fix if the right tools are on board ::bites her bottom lip knowing she's probably just jinxed them::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Nods at the OPS Officer:: Self: I should have figured the reason I wasn't getting a reading was 'cause it was so damaged. I'm not thinking straight.
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::paces back and forth on the bridge, in deep thought::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CSO: What do you make of them, they appear confused having just been 'put' ::emphasises the word as she is not inclined to be sure it is correct::  here.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
::He glances around at the V'Rax and the assembled crew, then down at the dead form of his former security officer. Sighing, Smyth pushes past the V'Rax leader and moves out of the shuttlecraft...::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Exits the craft after nodding to the XO. He quickly makes a lap around the craft, and can see that even the part that isn't resting on the ground is torn up substantially::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@XO: "Put" here? Ask them where they came from....::looks back to the strange creature::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@CEO: It's okay, we had a rough landing, it's a miracle any of us are thinking right now...::turns to the commander:: XO: Ma'am...maybe we should concentrate on things...we might be a day or two before we can get flying again...and we don't know how the other shuttles on the Yamato are...maybe some exploration might be in order?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Gets no response but notices she is barley breathing and resembles someone in Stasis:; Self: Why is there never a medic when you want one ... ::tries to think of ways you would bring someone out of Stasis::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CSO: I did. ::watches Smyth:: YXO: Perhaps you could show us where you keep your tool kit?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ::It seems to take the female V'Rax a long time to process Janan's replies and she smiles:: ~~~XO: We just...arrived. Did you know you're not alone?~~~
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::walks up to a consol and checks to see if the computer is working at all::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@XO: There should be one in the craft's supply storage...::He motions towards the craft and at the same time pulls out a hand scanner:: Out loud: Hmmmm...that's odd...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::fiddles with a few switches and the lights go off:: Self: Blast!
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::listens as the XO tries to explain how the V'Rax arrived and furrows her brow, standing and moving to the exit, carefully stepping out of the shuttle and looking the small craft over carefully::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Peeks back inside the Icarus, and looks to the XO:: XO: It'll be a fair while to get this all fixed up, especially with minimal supplies and materials.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Still depressed:: Self: Leasha dead...............
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::spots Brenna heading outside, standing up swiftly and following through the door, raising his hand to block against the bright sun::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ OPS: Possibly a good ide...::pauses and looks to the V'Rax again:: ~~~V'Rax: Who is with us?~~~
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::fumbles about in the dark and fiddles with some more switches::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@CEO: You, come here...
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Curses quiet as she notices everything has been re routed to the bridge and tries to tap in without being noticed::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Climbs back aboard, and approaches the Yamato's Executive Officer:: YXO: Sir?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: You are not alone. Did you know you have very pretty hair?~~~ ::The woman gives a goofy smile and runs her long black nails through Janan's hair:: ~~~XO: There are others, they watch us from above...~~~
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::trips over a cable and swears a bit::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CSO: I am not sure they know how they got here, they think we or I ::shrugs as she is not sure which are not alone.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@::He holds out the scanner for Lai to take:: CEO: Interpret this...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::thumps a console and the lights come back on without the flickering::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@XO: They could mean the Dreamscapes, or they could mean the Yamato, or they could just mean there are many of us here...
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::smiles to the V'Rax trying to remain at ease while the long nails run through her hair:: ~~~V'Rax: Do you know who the others are ::pauses again:: Are they like us?~~~
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::stands in front of the shuttle looking at the sharp tears in the hull:: Self: Well...how are we going to fix that...hmmm...have to squeeze under the shuttle and-::receives a sharp kick to the kidney in return:: Ooo oh right...who's the scrawniest person among us?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Sighs as everything is looked down and takes a deep breath knowing she’s got to go to the bridge as there is nothing she can do here and leaves ME taking a last glance at Exeter before she heads for the JT's:
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@~~~XO: No. Bugs...big. They watch us. I like her eyes...where did you come from, Janan?~~~
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::thinks ' where the hell has that engineering team got to?'::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::nods:: CSO: My thoughts too ::smiles at the literal meaning of that:: I'm trying to find out if they are like us. While we are on the subject how could it be dreamscapes? what are th...::looks concerned:: Out loud: ..bugs?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - A pair of Engineers...the surviving members of their team...arrive in the Tactical Control Centre on the U.S.S. Yamato...
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Raises an eyebrow:: Self: Unusual... ::Takes the scanner from the YXO and begins to go over the data::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@XO: Large, brutal killing machines. Between eight and ten feet tall, black skin, resistant to some forms of energy weapons. They attack and kill with their huge, sharp claws...
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::enters a JT sealing it behind her and stops shaking a little .. Wondering what will be up there and what she’s going to do when she gets there::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::turns back to OPS with a smile:: OPS: Your eyes have won you some admirers. ::thinks again::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - In the deep shadows of the Jefferies Tubes, Karla Leasha can hear the all too familiar sounds of Dreamscapes...not on this level, but a few decks up...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::Walks back to the door of the shuttle and listens to the conversation:: XO: Ma'am...if one of us were to be able to give you the picture, could you show it to her so she could say yay or nay?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::smiles at Brenna, watching her survey the damage before answering the XO again:: XO: They emit large doses of Theta radiation, deadly to anyone who stands against them in melee combat
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@~~~V'Rax: Yes her eyes are pretty....we come from far away ~~~
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks up as the engineers arrive:: EO: Glad you could make it. let's see if we can get these torpedo launchers online.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: Yes, very far. You come from the Scimitar.~~~ ::She smiles and heads out of the shuttlecraft and near Lai:: ~~~XO: Tainted man...~~~
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::walks up to the FCO:: FCO: Something wrong?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@CEO: Well?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::in an ice cold voice of reason:: CSO: Okay ::looks a bit concerned:: But they are not bugs?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Stops suddenly in her tacks and shudders trying to force her self forward feeling very cold:; Self: I can do this
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to Brenna:: OPS: Great idea yes we can try.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@ XO: Brutal wielders of death, yes...Bugs, to the V’Rax perhaps so, but I wouldn't describe them as such
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Starts crawling forward looking for alternative route to avoid the dreamscapes::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The sounds of the Dreamscapes massive claws scraping against the deck plating can be heard throughout the jefferies tubes as Karla presses on...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Looks up and the back to a spot he was observing:: YSec: nothing lieutenant, oversee the repairs and report back to me.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
~~~V'Rax: Are these the bugs~~~ ::attempts to show them the Nacandarians first::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::closes her eyes and brings up the holographic display of the dreamscapes, the memory of their speech, and the sound of their cries shuddering all over as she does::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::nods and continues to pace back and forth on the bridge::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<EO_Goodwrench> CTO: Ok, lets see what we can do. ::turns to his assistants:: Engineers: OK you two let's get these cables cleared up and see what's missing.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Scratches his head:: YXO: Strange, fluctuating energy signatures. XO: Commander, this is most strange. I'm getting energy readings from the V'Rax, and an aura about them as well. It seems to be distorting long range sensors and comm systems.::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ::The V'Rax woman picks up the image of the Dreamscape alien and shakes her head once:: ~~~XO: What is that? A black skinned man...he looks mean...are you mean?~~~
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Bites her lip as she moves forward as quietly as possible feeling her stomach knotting::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ~~~V'Rax: Tainted in what way?~~~
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - As Janan begins to focus on the images of the Nacandarians, a series of the V'Rax scream in unison and hide...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::works on the torpedo launch controls with the EO::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CEO/CSO: could it be a natural phenomenon caused by their species?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::opens her eyes and watches the V'Rax moving towards one of them:: XO: Oh ma'am, is there any way to put them at ease...give them something else a meadow, something soothing maybe?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@::He watches the V'Rax scramble and hide and looks over at Janan:: XO: What are they doing, Ensign?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::watches the V'Rax:: ~~~V'Rax: I am sorry, are they the others from above?~~~
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@XO/OPS: What did you two do? ::covers his ears against the screaming::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@XO: Ah....errr...possibly. It's nothing I've ever seen before. It seems to be...hmmm...best word would be multidimensional. I wonder if they carry any technology with them. That could be the cause, as well. ::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: Is it possible it's biological?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::looks at Smyth:: All: I think the other watching are the Nacandarians, the V'Rax had a strong reaction to them ::Smiles weakly::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::rejoins two cables and they spark a bit::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Makes her way up a level another level hearing the dreamscapes getting louder and doubts filling her mind as to whether she is taking the right course of action::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@CEO: I could be, you'd have to ask the doctor - wherever he's gone - I'm just a scientist
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::moves towards the female that seems to be their leader:: V'Rax: Please...we aren't like them, they are against us, please, let us help...please for the sake of both our interests
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - A bright flash of light floods the command centre, alerts go off on the bridge and MacAllister feels a charge of energy flow through him as the room lights up.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::begins to think more soothing thoughts a peaceful planet a quite ocean scape and translates her message to the V'Rax, watching for any reaction::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Self: AGGgggaggaaaggggag
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@::Smyth doesn't seem to notice the crew calling Karida "Commander" and continues on as if it were business as usual...XO: I see...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::drags himself from the deck and stands up:: YSec: Status report on  the ship and how are the repairs going?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::drops to the floor:
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::looks around the bridge and nods:: FCO: hmm, looks like the CTO and engineer crew got some power back, that’s all I can report for now
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - MacAllister is a little singed, but no worse for wear.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Continues upwards feeling her nerves get the better of her and fighting against those as well .. Whishing someone else was with her::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - A garbled scream can be heard from a few decks below Leasha - it seems not everyone has been successful at avoiding the Dreamscape guests.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::shakes his head and staggers to his feet::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::stops as he sees something out of the corner of his eye:: FCO: It also appears like there is a Nacandarian ship in orbit
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::Scratches his head:: FCO: well, just entering orbit...... ::shrugs his shoulders and continues to pace::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Stops suddenly as she hears the screams holding on to the ladders as if they were going to save her .. Takes a few deeps breaths as a tear falls from her eye out of fright and continues upwards::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: The watchers have arrived...~~~
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CEO: A good idea, if only they would talk again. ~~~CEO: Why would they question you, Lieutenant?~~~
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
YSec: Well we can't do much about that. Everything is screwed up?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::whispers:: EO: The hell was that???
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::just nods in the FCO's general direction and continues to pace the bridge::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The Engineers apologize for a small power overload and go back to their work...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<EO> CTO: Not altogether sure, what did you do?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::turns to the crew:: All: They think the Nacandarians have arrived ::looks around the crew:: Any suggestions on how to avoid a conflict with a bug?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
EO: All I did was reconnect that power coupling. I've done it many times before but it's never done that.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::shrugs::  CSO: Out of interest how do you get rid of dreamscapes?
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Is perplexed by the strange readings from the scanner, that he isn't paying a lot of attention to the conversation going on:: ~~~XO: Who questioned me?~~~
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@XO: I  was hoping we'd already be in the position to avoid the conflict here
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The clicking and scratching sounds of the Dreamscapes are quite loud, even more so now as Leasha approaches the bridge. She can also hear voices...one yells above the noise..."Damn it you insectoid monsters...you got what you wanted - the Fleet has been dispersed, now call off your Dreamscape dogs!"
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@XO: You don't. You pray for the best, and fight with every ounce of strength you have...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<EO> ::looks at the power coupling:: CTO: That could explain it, there's supposed to be a transformer conduit there.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CTO*: MacAllister, what are our chance... I have a feeling we should evacuate and I want your opinion on it?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ~~~ CEO: The V'Rax...they appear fascinated by Brenna's eyes, unsure of you, Tainted was the word used and like my hair~~~
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<chances>
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: Tainted, yes. He has a dark aura around him. He has strayed from the path and become tainted. The watchers have come...they are curious. They will be here soon.~~~
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::walks over towards her husband:: CSO: What do we have for weapons?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Stops outside the bridge as she hears a voice wondering what is going on wondering what to do next and waits a while to see if anything else happens, knowing that if she walks on to the bridge she will be noticed::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@OPS: It would be nice to think so, but both the Nacandarians and Dreamscapes are not what I would call friendly in our space and time so I am not inclined to take a chance and believe it will be different here.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Look confused:: XO: Tainted? ::Realized he spoke aloud, and pretends to intently study his readings:: ~~~XO: What's wrong with me?~~~
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*FCO*: We're working on it commander We've almost got the launchers online, I'm going to let the engineers finish off and I'm on my way to the bridge.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION- Another voice, more distant - perhaps over a comm channel - responds. "The Dreamscapes are not our dogs Del. We just asked you to collapse the Scimitar's fold...by doing so you unleashed the Dreamscapes upon them...we do not control them..."
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CT*: how's Life support holding?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::pulling out the pistol he hands it over to her:: OPS: Nothing much, just this and whatever else we can find
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@~~~V'Rax: Who are they watchers coming to see?~~~
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: All of us. None of us belong.~~~
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CSO: Praying seems a little out dated don't you think? How do we remain concealed from them or at least safest?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*FCO*: It's holding at it's current levels at the moment, I think I can improve it from the CSO's station up there.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::nods slowly:: get every too you can find on that shuttle, see if we can't modify things...it might wind up being primitive, but we can probably hold off a small force
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@::He moves over towards Lai and grabs the scanner from his hand:: CEO/CSO: So? What have you two figured out?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CTO*: Understood.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::steps into a TL and presses the button for the bridge::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@~~~V'Rax: Where do you belong. ::pauses:: Yes we do not belong here we were brought here. ~~~
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::wonders briefly if she should go in and face death as there is nothing she can do out side of the bridge .. Listens to see if she can hear any dreamscapes on the bridge its self::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
YSEC: Any chance of saying hello to our Nacandarians friends?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: Here...but not, here. We are not solid, not like you...~~~
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::furrows her brow:: CSO: what do you think about this place?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ~~~ CEO: I do not know they speak of a dark aura, straying from a path. ~~~
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::arrives on the bridge and steps out of the TL::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@YXO: The readings are difficult to interpret. I was attempting to pinpoint their source; if it was technological or biological, or something else.
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
FCO: Comm are very weak right now, there is little chance of getting a comm signal through
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@CEO: Any luck? ::He looks at the information displayed on the scanner and glances at the V'Rax:: CEO: Are they the cause of it?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@OPS: Definitely not a planned honeymoon vacation...::he gives her a soft smile::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@~~~V'Rax: What path has he strayed from ~~~ ::looks to the CEO with a small smile to reassure him::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::heads straight to the OPS station and starts fiddling with environmental controls::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::hears at least two dreamscapes on the bridge and goes to find a supply locker for a weapon::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::blushes:: CSO: No...I mean...something about it...it's too familiar...do you remember the mountain?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: He has strayed from the path of light...he is tainted. He comes from shadows.~~~ ::He V'Rax begin to ignore the Yamato and Scimitar crew, looking up to the sky.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
YSec: Can you scan the crew compliment and weaponry?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@OPS: How could I forget?
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@YXO: Most likely, though it may be something they carry with them as well, or an inherent part of their being here.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::nods to the V'Rax again:: ~~~V'Rax: You appear at least semi solid?~~~ ::is confused::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: We were not always this way...they come now...~~~
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@CSO: It feels like that...so unsettled...the darkness....it's too close...I don't think we're here
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::finds her self a phaser rifle and heads back to the bridge her heart pumping away knowing she has got to enter that bridge::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::initiates the scan:: FCO: It looks like a small scout ships, minimal arms and a crew of approximately 50
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ~~~ V'Rax: How were you before?~~~
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::raising an eyebrow he frowns:: OPS: Not here? I've...not been able to use my mental powers since we've been here either...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
YSec: How many men can we gather  to take that ship?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ::The woman gives an odd smile and then points off into the barren dessert:: ~~~XO: Illusions. The Nacandarian watchers have come.~~~
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::nods:: CSO: And I'm not feeling anything...intuition or not I've always had it, and it feels just....gray here...I don't think even he knows where we should be...but I keep getting kicked like everything here isn't safe
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CTO*: can you check if the Transporter is working if we even have one that is?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::locks the weapon ready to fire, stops wishing it hadn't been her that woke up, stand out side the bridge for a brief few minutes with thousands of thoughts running through her head:: Self: Well if I die .. I guess I didn't help my crew ::takes a deep breath and enters the bridge::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::looks confused and looks towards the desert::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@OPS: Brenna, do we have anything to monitor neural wave patterns in the shuttle?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Karla Leasha bursts into the bridge of the U.S.S. Scimitar - as she does the two Dreamscapes on the far side of the room react and dive towards her, screeching loudly...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@CSO: We might but I'm not sure it would do us any good...i it is false then it will appear as though everything is working fine...I don't know...maybe we should check anyway..although, I'm not sure about the medical technology of this time...
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ OPS: I agree this does not seem right the V'Rax speak of Nacandarian watchers and illusions, from my information this may be possible as Nacandarians have some form of mind control or telepathic effect if it be called that.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::aims the Phaser rifle at one of the dreamscapes and fires pulling the rifle round finger still on the trigger in the hope she hits the other and tries to move  out of the way of the other dreamscape::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Two black shadows tear across the Scimitar bridge, at the same time a bright orange light arcs out from Leasha's phaser rifle, and strikes the two shades head on...the first one screeches loudly and slams into the door of the Captain's Ready Room, ripping through the bulkhead and taking cover. he second drops to the ground at Leasha's feet, dead.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@XO: Ma'am...I think we need to do as they say..the last time...I had a guide...he was the only way I got out, they seem to know something we don't...maybe they know how to wake up again too
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::moves over to tac1 and checks on the status of the torp launchers::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@~~~V'Rax: What can we do to avoid the watchers?~~~
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: You can't. They come.~~~ ::She seems noticeably agitated, as do the other V'Rax, who eagerly watch the horizon::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Notices the sensor's readings are increasing, and grabs the scanner from the YXO hastily:: Self: What is going...? YXO/XO: Sir, uh, energy levels from the V'Rax are increasing.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ OPS: I don't think they have ideas, ::sighs:: Yet they can sense the watchers more then we can do so in a way they may be useful. Plus if it is the Nacandarians ...well they ran at the last thought of them.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::very startled and looks around to make sure they are dead before turning her attention to others on the bridge Holding the rifle at another species:: Del: want to tell me what’s going on?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@XO: Perhaps they can d more then sense them...they put off interference, maybe they can do more...is there any way to see if they have other abilities?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The Nacandarian on the Scimitar viewscreen seems to curse something in an alien language and yells, "Deal with this Del, or the deal is off!" The comm signal cuts out and Karla Leasha is left on the bridge with a large four-legged Airilian.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: OK we've got the torpedo tube online but I don't know how long it's going to last us.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@CEO: What? Increasing?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CEO: Noted ::wonders if this has something to do with not being solid:: ~~~V'Rax: why do you emit more energy now?~~~
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
::Holds the weapon on this Airilian as she decides to check the computer is working:: Computer Seal off the bridge so No one can get in.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Del> ::He just watches Leasha with a dark glare:: CIV: How did you get here, little girl?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CEO: Perhaps they will be so good as to tell us why this is happening lets hope they know their own bodies.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: how about transporters......... Bets thing would be to dump this ship and trade it for a better model.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@YXO: Yes, Sir. An incredible amount of energy is emanating from them. I wish I knew the cause.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Waits to see if there is any response from the computer::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::he looks around the barren wastes cautiously, wondering if this is all truly real, or just a figment of the demented minds who put them here...or both::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Agreed, I'll check on them now.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<V'Rax> ~~~XO: Energy? No...our essence...it is who we are...the watchers come. We might hide now...~~~ ::The V'Rax scramble into the shuttlecraft, occasionally peeking out::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Computer> CIV: Acknowledged. Lock-down enabled.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ OPS: Well they think they are not solid and have not always been like this, whilst the CEO is noting some strange energy readings ::looks to the CSO for his view of the readings::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: Transporter from this era aren't exactly user friendly so we might need to test it a few times.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Transporters are still offline commander.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::sighs a little more happily and turns to tell: Del : So want to tell me what you are up to ?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::is moved aside as the V'Rax enter:: CEO/CSO: The energy is there essence, perhaps an energy being of some kind?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::Watches them:: Self: Well then fighting it is ::picks up a stray shard of melt from the hull and tests the weight in her hands before carefully sliding it up her sleeve::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Del> CIV: If you are granting me the choice, child - no...
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@OPS: It appears they want to hide in here. if they remain solid that is.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::he steps into the shuttle, a look of determination on his face:: XO: Perhaps it is their interpretation of a soul?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Engineering report the transporters are fried, beyond repair.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: We got a shuttle pod left?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Del: Sorry no choices here and how many dreamscapes are there on this ship?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Del> CIV: I do not know. ::He looks directly into her eyes::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@CSO: That is a possibility. ::Shrugs::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Computer: How many dreamscapes are there on the Scimitar. ::looks Del straight in the eyes::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: we got one left.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: gather a Boarding party
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Off in the distance, the group from the shuttle Icarus can see a large group of Nacandarian insects making their way across the barren surface of Varnaxia. On the Yamato...the repairs continue...and aboard the U.S.S. Scimitar, Karla Leasha finds herself at a stand-still with the burley Minister Del...
