Summary - Events continue to unfold in a chaotic way. On the surface of the V'Rax homeworld, the shuttle team from the U.S.S. Yamato have made contact with the oddly confusing species known as V'Rax. They refer to the Nacandarian's as "watchers" and the odd new arrival Dandin Lai as "tainted." What they mean is currently unknown...

A Nacandarian vessel has arrived in orbit of the planet and beamed a team down to the surface. So far they have ignored the slightly crippled Starfleet vessel U.S.S. Yamato...

...and on the U.S.S. Scimitar, the crew valiantly fight off a continuing Dreamscape onslaught as former Chief Engineer Karla Leasha stands at gun point with the Airilian Minister Del.

Perhaps the crew will have a chance to wake...and save themselves from the darkness that threatens to consume them and their vessel...

::at his console looking over the damage reports::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::still pacing on the bridge, thinking about what to do::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::moving through the maintenance hatches of the Yamato and making his way to the bridge, not certain what is currently going with the ship and the away team in particular::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: How many men can you round up?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::watches the V'Rax in the shuttle then turns to the team, looking at what they have got as weapons, smiles faintly:: All: Lets hope they are in a talking mood. ::glances at Smyth waiting for him to take the lead as he still believes them all to be his crew, then watches the Nacandarians::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::the laser pistol in his hand, the Nacandarians only meters away::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::leaning against the wall of the shuttle sharpening her knife and groaning slightly from the ach in her back::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - The small grey skinned V'Rax huddle in the back of the shuttlecraft Icarus as the Nacandarian host approach...there seem to be maybe 20 in the party.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CEO: How’s their energy readings ::motions to the V'Rax:: has it stabilised yet?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@sitting down against a wall, staring at the corpse of the Klingon, he mumbles under his breath::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: I can get about 8 sir, 10 at the most.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@XO: Commander, who's going out there to talk with them?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Standing in the armory, waiting to be handed his armament::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Trying to decide whether it's more worthwhile to try to fix what he can in a few short minutes, or to arm himself for a possible attack. He decides...to stand where he is, and attempt to read the Nacandarians’ minds::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::In the armory, ducked behind a crate, holding a phaser::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::her thoughts turn to the Nacandarians who are getting ever closer::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: How big is the chance that we can take over that ship with 8 men?
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - A loud screech floods the Scimitar Armory on Deck 15, and a massive Dreamscape alien bursts through the entrance.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: I'll get a group of our best men and some weapons, I'd say about a 75/25 chance in our favor.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::opens one of the access hatches to the bridge and crawls out of it::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::Fires his phaser at the Dreamscape's head::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Can't read anything off the approaching creatures, other than their simple presence. He glances at the remote sensor in his hand, and sees that the strange energy readings are still increasing::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::stares as someone comes  through the access hatch, then continues to pace::
Host CJ-Tala says:
ACTION - Brody Majors gives a command and several security officers fire phaser blasts at the creature.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: We only got 8 men left or could we send the shuttle back for reinforcements while the first group secure the docking point?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::eyes the line of her blade carefully before putting it down beside her and checking the  small cut in her hand from the metal:: self: lovely
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ~~~V'Rax: Why do you appear to fear them?~~~
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Grabs the nearest phaser he can find and fires it at the dreamscape::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@::He stands next to the Icarus, watching as the Nacandarians’ approach:: XO: You seem to have some idea what's going on here, Ensign...get ready to speak to them...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: If you're up to dodging the crossfire, as soon as the first boarding party boards they'll know we're there.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::closing the hatch behind him and standing he glances at the battered bridge of the Yamato, nodding at the FCO::  FCO: Status report, Commander...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::looks at Smyth, and smiles:: YXO: As you wish ::pauses then thinks it wise to add:: Sir. Though I have no idea what these aliens want.
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::nods at the CO and continues to pace::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:looks at Black in anger:: CO: What did you say, crewman!
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@XO: Then good luck.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Keeps firing his phaser until his energy is starting to run low::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The large Dreamscape alien screams and dives back into the shadows, at the same time the Scimitar rocks lightly...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CEO: How are their readings? ::motions again to the V'Rax::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@XO/YXO: Those multi-dimensional energies are rising, Sir.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::thinks to himself: that's odd..must be coincidence...::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@OPS/CEO: Continue trying to sort this shuttle out, we still need to get back ::looks to the CSO:: CSO: Lets greet them ::smiles faintly again::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::frowns at the FCO and raises his hand::  FCO: No jokes, Mr. Exeter or I will make sure you remember who you are talking too... for a long time..  ::glares at the FCO::  FCO: Now... our status...
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::Takes something small out of a pocket and grips it tightly::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Majors> ::Lieutenant Majors dives across the room and glances at the Science Officer he lands next too:: SO: Ensign, do you think you and Officer Pandora could set up a defense field around the armory?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::nods slowly, looking back to Brenna and giving her a confident smile:: OPS: I love you, Brenna...I’ll be back in a moment. ::turns back to the XO and nods, dropping the phaser pistol and getting himself ready for a fight:: XO: Shall we go, Commander?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: hey for once in my life I outrank you and I can't bloody well enjoy it.
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::looks at the ensuing yelling between the FCO and co, scratches his head and continues to pace back and forth::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::nods to the XO, picking up her knife, standing and slipping it into her sleeve:: CSO: Be careful
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Kerak begins to hear a sort of whispering in his ear...soft and unidentifyable.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#Majors: Yes sir, we'll get right on it ::Jumps up and dives next to Officer Pandora::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: Our status....
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::Grips the thing in his hand tighter and mutters under his breath:: Quietly to self: No... not again.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The insectoid Nacandarians approach the away team...and the first thing that the team notices is how small they are, perhaps a metre and a half tall at most - much smaller then the Nacandarians Starfleet has encountered in the past...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: I have an assault team assembled and waiting in the shuttle bay Commander.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::nods and leaves the shuttle slowly approaching the Nacandarians:: CSO: I can't even begin to read these creatures.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::bites her lip furrowing her brow and receiving another swift kick to an internal organ:: Self: god just please don't let anything happen to him, please
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Nods:: OPS: I think we may need to do some redecorating. ::Eyes the undamaged internal paneling, thinking about stripping it and using it for patching the outer hull::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CSO: That's odd...::looks at these bugs::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@XO: I haven’t been able to use my empathic powers since we've been here...::walks towards the Nacandarians slowly, noting their shortness::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Well, The ship is falling in pieces and I've decide to assemble a boarding part and take over the Nacandarian ship instead. And the FCO feels rather uncomfortable in being on duty.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Both Delar's seem to hear the same odd whispering, it seems to be coming from inside the shuttle...
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Stops firing as he sees the dreamscape dive away, glad he can let the phaser regenerate some energy::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CSO: That's odd, I wonder if the V'Rax had anything ot do with that? Their telepathy is odd.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::Gets Pandora's attention:: Pandora: Brody wants us to set up a defensive field around the armory. lets get to it ::smiles halfheartedly::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::Brings his knee's up close to his chest and wraps his arms around them, he burrows his face into his arms::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::raises an eyebrow and ignores everything around her focusing on the whispering:: self: what the...?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::hears a strange whispering, but puts it down to the wind:: XO: It could be...Commander, perhaps we should greet them?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the CTO::  FCO: What's the status of the Nacandarian Ship..?  crew compliment, etc. ?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::On the bridge still pointing Weapon at Minister Del::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::looks around trying to focus on the source of the spot:: CMO: Can you hear that?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
YSec: Status of Nacandarian ship?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Looks across to the SO:: SO: Alright then... There should be a console right over... ::Glances at where the console should be:: There!
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: Scanning.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Sees he's being ignored, shrugs, and tries to find where he placed the engineering kit::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
FCO: I already told you sir, but once again it has a crew of about 50, 20 who have landed on the surface and has the same technology as the Yamato, no damage to report
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@:: Tries to ignore everything, mutters a sort of prayer he learnt from his parents in his childhood::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::nods and turns to the bugs with a smile:: Nacandarians: Greetings, I am Karida Janan and this is Rowan Delar. ::leaves it at this for now and prepares for a reaction::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::stands where she thinks the noise is coming from:: CEO: Lai, bring that tricorder over here
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Janan and Lai can feel as the Nacandarians begin to scan their minds...
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Computer: Scan ship for any crew member that is awake and transport them to the bridge please
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: I got 30 on the ship, 20 on the planet, they have similar technology to ourselves but less damage.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: You heard the Security officer, sir, Odds we can have. Outnumbered 2 to 1 as usual
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::Looks at the console Pandora was pointing to:: Pandora: okay, we should be able to get there without getting shot, lets go
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Tries to keep his thoughts clear and uncluttered, hoping to show that they are peaceful::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<Nac> XO: Greetings Karida Janan...I am Nen'vora...consolate of the Nacandarians.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  FCO/CTO/SEC: That leaves 30 crew we need to disable quickly... any ideas ?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Minister Del: So are you going to tell me what is going on and how I get the crew out of their sleep
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::shrugs and continues to pace::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: a crazed Irish suicidal Maniac named John?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Del> CEO: Sleep...what sleep? ::He smiles deviously::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::gives the CSO a curious look:: CSO: Now It is a bit clearer telepathy but still nothing from them. ::shuts up and nods to the CSO with a smile feeling a bit more reassured::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Waits on the computer and Minister Del ::
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Nods:: SO: On the count of three then?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: If we can get a boarding party to the least populated area it might give us a better chance.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - One of the Nacandarians seem interested in Lai's mind, and presses harder, trying to gain access to his thoughts.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Sighs:: Computer: your telling me you cannot find any crew member with vitals that say they are not a sleep!
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::shakes her head and looks over to the doctor:: CMO: Kerak?...what's wrong?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#Pandora: Right..1...2... ::Looks over to the door and sees nothing:: .. 3!
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: could we fit our torpedo with a type of gas and make sure it penetrates the ships hull?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::rocks slowly back and forth, muttering the same prayer over and over again::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::nods slowly:: XO: Perhaps we should ask them why we, and they, are here, Commander?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Computer> CEO: Affirmative. Internal sensors offline. External sensors at 40%.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: Tell me again, Commander...  what is objective of gaining control of the Nacandarian Ship ?    :.glances at the CTO::  CTO: Go on...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::bows her head slightly towards Nen'vora:: Nen'vora: Then this planet is one of your worlds?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Gets up and runs for the console::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
FCO: That's if the torpedo even launches
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
YSec: What is the status of our transporters?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::walks over and kneels in front of him:: CMO: Korvus...come on talk to me...come on what is it?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: I have an idea.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::Runs to the console, while occasionally looking at the door::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: the Objective is that we survive this mission and we can't do that without Warp. That ship has warp capability......i hope.
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
CTO: Transporters are offline, so I’m guessing whatever plan you had might not work now
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@Self: They're....trying to get inside my head.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Minster Del: well I Haven’t the time to play games with you ::fires the rifle at stun setting at the minister:: Sorry
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION – A  large 'scape arm reaches out to slash at Piece, but a well timed shot from Majors discourages the Dreamscape assault.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
YSec: Maybe not in that way. Do the shuttles have transporters?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::he looks up at the OPS, with fear in his eyes and through gritted teeth:: OPS: They're returning...
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The quadruped goes to dodge the shot, but is not fast enough and the energy blast strikes him in the shoulder and he collapses to the ground with a thud...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::Turns to Lai:: Self: that's not good ::stands up and steps out of the shuttle joining the others and whispering quietly:: CSO: Something's very wrong here
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
CTO: You act as if you have never been here, we never have had transporters in shuttles, It would be a nice thing but its impossible
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::ducks for cover at the console and looks at Brody:: Thanks, that was close ::shudders at the thought of what could've happened to him if Majors had been a bad marksman::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CSO: With evolution animals usually get larger rather then smaller through time?
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Ducks again at the console:: SO: Ok, let's see.... ::Gets up slowly to have a better look at the screen:: I need to find... Ah, the security systems, yes...
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<Nen'vora> XO: Yes. This planet is under our observation...we detected an unusual shift in multi-dimensional energy and came to investigate.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::turns to Brenna and nods slowly, whispering back:: OPS: It's always been wrong...but what can we do about it until we have more information?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles faintly::  SEC: Do we have information on how our away team is doing ?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: Didn't you fixed one of the launchers?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The whispering voices continue, they seem to call to Kerak...
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::Starts to shake, buries his face back into his arms and continues reciting the same line over and over::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::nods to Nen'vora:: Nen'vora: We have arrived her by chance and are attempting to find a way back. ::her minds turn to the V'Rax, who share a similar story to themselves::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::sighs:: CO: I wish, but once again...no
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CTO: Chief, as soon as we have a solid plan to board that Nacandarian vessel I don't see the use for a suicide mission....
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: We need to take the boarding party to the rear compartment, we can use the one remaining launcher to launch a torpedo but I wouldn't rate our chances of it hitting the target
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@CSO: No...one of hem is pressing Lai....and I think Kerak's about to snap...and there's something...the shuttle...it's like little children in a closet whispering...muffled...I...I think we need our shots..
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::Watches Pandora:: Pandora: Need some help? ::Looks back at the door, ready to fry the next thing that comes out::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<Nen'vora> XO: Interesting...::The creature seems to look Janan over once, and glances behind her:: ...and the source of the energy?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@OPS: I heard a whispering out here...I thought it was the wind...what is it saying?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: The rear compartment is very sparsely populated sir.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Computer: run a level 3 diagnostic
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Computer> CIV: Commencing.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@CSO:I don't know it was too faint to mark out...Kerak said something about...they're coming back...I don't know what it means though
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Taps away on his console, trying to get some force fields in place::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CTO: Very well... do we have any docking possibilities on the rear compartment of the Nacandarian Vessel ?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: Do we have any Gas Grenades, so we don't have to fight a lot just knock'em out?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Walks up to a consol and uses what internal sensors they have to try and scan for crew members that maybe awake::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::looks the Nacandarians over cautiously::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The computer seems sluggish and unwilling to cooperate, but after a time a force field does flicker into place around the armory’s entrance...
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@OPS: Come on, I’ll see what I can do ::turns to the XO:: XO: Commander, the Doctor is unwell, I’m going to check on him ::takes Brenna's hand and walks back into the shuttle::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@Nen'vora: Energy from our transition here or from others?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: Yes and we can use environmental suits to shield us from the gas.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::Sees the force field appear:: Pandora: Good job, how long will that hold? ::Gets up and looks at the console::
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::crouches down by the Doctor:: CMO: Korvus! It's Rowan, talk to me...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: We have enough for 8 men and the three of us?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::glances around to see how the CEO and Smyth are doing::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<Nen'vora> XO: Others? ::He seems curious and begins to press into Janan's mind::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
FCO: They're being gathered as we speak. I have 8 of our best crew assembled in shuttle bay 1.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#::Shrugs:: SO: Unknown....
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::moves over near Lai:: CEO: Is it any better?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::detects some crew in the armory and in Holodeck 2 and hits comm badge:: *All in Armory* This is Lt Leasha I’m detecting your life signs and IM assuming you are awake please identify yourselves.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::tries to resist::  ~~~Nen'vora: Why do you press our thoughts?~~~ ::speaks again:: Nen'vora: Is your presence making this crew unwell?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: well I suspect Me, you and the CO our going as well.
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@CSO: Its calling me... ::gets louder:: Make it stop! Make it stop! ::Starts shouting::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<Nen'vora> XO: Unwell? No. However our telepathic abilities may be a little...much...for you...::The insectoid moves towards the shuttle::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
YSec; I need you to take Tactical and be ready to fire the torpedo when I give the order. I'm programming the target coordinates now.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CTO: Chief... check your readings... can we dock the shuttle at the rear compartment of the Nacandarian Vessel ?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - The calling voices stop.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#*CIV*: Pandora here, we're doing alright down here... I just hope that force field is going to hold out..
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::grabs Kerak's shoulders and holds him still:: CMO: Korvus! look at me! We'll make it stop but you have to talk to me. What's calling you?
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
CTO: will do sir, don’t think it will hit but ill give it a try
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@::turns and kneels next to her husband:: CSO: I don't like this
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::Looks around:: CSO: I don’t know, its stopped... ::Clutches a Phaser::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::walks over to the tactical station::
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Scratching can be heard outside of the armory and the bridge - Leasha and her companions are trapped in metal cages, with their prey just outside the doors.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::Looks surprised when he hears Leasha:: Leasha: Pierce here, we're holding out here, how's the situation on the rest of the ship? ::smiles::
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Can feel the pressure in his skull as if it is going to explode:: OPS: They're...almost breaking into my head...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO: There are no docking ports but we could make a hole
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#*EO* I have hold of the bridge but I’m going to need some help up here if we are to help the others .. I can try beaming you up if it doesn’t work can you get up here?
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::pats the Doc on the shoulder and nods before turning to Brenna:: OPS: I know, but just hold on...I think everything will reveal itself soon...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::has no way of stopping Nen'vora so walks with it:: Nen'vora yes unwell, also the others are a species new to us, they appeared here also by accident.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
#<Computer> CIV: Diagnostic complete.
EO_PO_Pandora says:
#*CIV*: I will try... Let's hope the beam works though...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
@All: That's it ::stands up and walks out of the shuttle towards the leader of the Nacandarians::
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
CTO: hmmm, if we fire at them, they will know we are coming, as of now, they don’t even know were here, are you willing to risk that?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
CTO: We could... but we would need a clean torpedo hit... as I doubt either the ship's phasers or the shuttle's phasers would make any difference for that matter...
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Hears the scratching and cringes:: Self: this is not good:: Computer: can you lock on to the dreamscapes and beam them to the shuttle bay and raise and force filed?
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - Suddenly the Nacandarian invasion stops, and the pressure on Lai's mind eases dramatically.
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::stands up and walks after Brenna, wondering what she's up to::
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Computer: Status of the ship
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
@::Is startled that they left his mind so suddenly:: All: What...happened?
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#*EO* Well there one way to find out
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
CO/FCO: If we get close enough then we could make a hole and be ready for when they all come running.
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
@<Nen'vora> ::He suddenly looks shocked and gives Janan a dark glare:: XO: I see what is going on here...
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#Computer: beam all those in the armory to the bridge and then reseal the bridge
Host YXO_Cmdr_Smyth says:
ACTION - A computer console near Leasha displays the Scimitar's status, most systems are in working order, but have been locked down by Del...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
YSec: This is why I need you to hold your fire until I give the order, this is a last resort.
CIV_LtJG_Leasha says:
#::Nearly screams as she sees the systems have been locked down::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::looks blankly:: Nen'vora: I am pleased someone does, I have no idea, we appeared here earlier and then landed on the planet to find some confused aliens.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
#::Looks at Pandora:: Pandora: There must be something more we can do here in case the transporters fail
YSec_LtJG_Cortez says:
::sighs and just nods:: Self: yup sure, fire at there ship, they fire back and there goes our ship....
CSO_LtJG_Delar says:
@::begins to watch Nen'vora warily::
EO_PO_Pandora says:

A life for a life. One is sacrificed to save another. A world away...Lieutenant K'Nargh awakes, his heart begins to pound...and his eyes flutter awake. Sacrifices have been made, at great cost...but for great reasons...
