Summary... Motionless the Scimitar hangs in space with half the fleet surrounding them. The other half of the taskforce are absent from the scene that the Scimitar bridge crew can now see on the viewscreen a small armada of petite shuttles and fighters stay close to the Scimitar, none within 100 meters, small fragments of debris can be found close to this area….

The Scimitar remains cut off having no means to communicate with the Starbase or the task force; The Airilians swarming the border are no longer on any sensors, although long-range sensors have failed to produce anything, which can be clearly determined...

In Engineering the officers work to repair the ship diverting power where they can; the bridge crew are starting to see the confines of their situation, minor casualties to overcome; smoke inhalation from two of the scientist in the labs, unfortunately the medical team were too late to be of assistance to the now deceased Ensign Rious…

CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::Slowly opens his eyes. He realizes that with all the talking to the pair he forgot to see if the events had taken a toll on his department:: Sci_dept: Will, This is Pierce. What's the status at the moment? Did the latest events cause any damage?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Receiving the call from the XO, he sits straight up in his chair again.:: *XO*: Everything is back to the way it was about half an hour ago sir. The patients have tried to talk to me and the CSO, but there are still many unanswered questions.
Host TigerLady says:
@ Action... A comm is recieved by ECO Xia, her attention is required... hastily Marla finds herself alone in stellar cartography onboard Eridanus.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::runs inside ME stops::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Nods to MacAllister:: CTO: status of shileds and sensors
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
ALL: To all crew in Engeering i need you to work fast now i need this ship up and running.
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Will>CSO: Yes sir. We sustained minor damage. 1 casualty and 1 dead sir. It's Ensign Rious. But we'll manage. Will out
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::on the bridge of the Eridanus shaking her head, she looks for what could be shielding the Scimitar::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Checking, Captian.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::grabs some tools and begins working on the main power i can do this i can get this ship up and running on know time::
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged, what about the medical emergency in the lab?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::frowns at the outcome and turns to the CO::  CO: Shields are down, Ma'am... I will be checking on that as we speak..  short range sensors are ok, but the long range sensor array is a bit garbled and will need some attention from the Chief.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:: on his post checking sensors::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::When Kaimana leaves without really telling Marla where she's going on what's going on, Marla calls up to the Bridge::  *ESO*: Hello?  This is Lieutenant Commander Marla Enki of the Scimitar...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::nods to Watson:: CTO: Make sure Engineering are aware and a damage control team are up here ASAP
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
Crewman_Jack: make sure you get those wires in the right order or the CO will kill me.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: So commander any idea what happened?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*XO*: They have reported one casualty sir. There was nothing they could do, the others are all taken care off. Nothing to serious I presume.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods::  CO: Aye.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
<CrewmanJack> CEO: Yes sir i will.
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@*CNS* Carika here. We have lost contact with the Scimitar, perhaps you can be of assistance
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
FCO: Work with engineering I want those engines running within the Hour
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*CEO*: Watson to Harris, come in please..
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
Will: Roger. Give me a report later, i want to know exactly what happened. Have it on my desk before the end of the shift if you can make it.
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Nothing confirmed as yet, but it's thought that our visitors might have something to do with it.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CO: I'm a pilot not an Engineer.  And already yelled at Blake. That's the most I could have done.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::smacks head on the console OUCH::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::Crawls out::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@*ESO*: Perhaps I can... what should I do?
Host TigerLady says:
<The Pair> ::the pair are alseep unconcious due to the efforts of the CMO and CSO::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*CTO*: yes sir.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::goes back to work listening to the CTO::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
FCO: you may not be an engineer but you fly this ship, if anyone can help get those engines online its you .. see to it Ens .. we may not have the time to discuss this.
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::frowns::Self:Typical... *CNS*: The ship appears to be enveloped in some sort of shield that prevents us from appoaching her. Have you any idea what sort of shield it could be?
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::Walks to a console and brings up the status of the science department. At least that's working, although half of the reports are inaccessable::
Host TigerLady says:
Action.. the CSO begins to notice the classroom forming again in his thoughts, the door open and the room empty...
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::sits back:: Self: Well, already did what I could have.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He gets up from his chair and leaves his office and walks into sickbay, carefully overlooking the patients as they lie motionless on their beds again.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@*ESO*: I know of no such shield... is there a way I can help out, get access to sensor readings?
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
::Accesses the Com system and tries to get it up and running again::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: is that so ::Stands:: You have the bridge I will be in Sickbay, visiting out guests .....
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::Suddenly he stops. what is this? where's his sister? he suddenly feels sick::
Host TigerLady says:
Action.. The CMO finds it difficult to concentrate.. he hears the male and female in unison... 'you see no consequence'
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@*CNS*: I think it would be best if you coordinated your efforts from up here. I am not sure if you understand the gravity of the situation. Anything getting within 100 m of the Scimitar is destroyed
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*CTO*: Sir what did you want.
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Aye Cap'n, but be careful, we don't know what they're capable of.
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@*CNS*And we have no idea if there is still anyone aboard. For all we know they may be dead
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Shakes his head, hearing the voices again... tries to think... to remember...::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: Understood :: Leaves the Bridge and heads to the TL:: TL: Sickbay
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::Makes her way towards a turbolift, still a little uncertain where Kaimana got to::  *ESO*: Aye, I'm on my way...
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*CEO*: Chief, I still have no power to the shields and my long sensors are so garbled that I can't make heads or tails of it...
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@*CNS*Acknowledged. ::keeps at trying to scan the area::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*CTO*: i am working as fast as  i can i promse sir  i will have this ship battle ready.
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
::tries a few different fixes on the Comm system::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::leaves the TL heading for sickbay::
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Will>Jamy: Jamy, we need someone on the bridge to look at the consoles there. Give your current tasks to T'kar and proceed there. <Jamy>Will: On my way
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He walks away from the two again and walks over to the CSO, checking up on him.:: CSO: Are you okay?
Host TigerLady says:
Action... The CSO sees the door swing sligly threatening to shut in the breeze...
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::attemps to rerout power to shields and weapons::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged... furthermore, the Captain asked for an engineering team on the bridge for some repairs here as well.
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::He vaguely hears someone speaking to him.. It's not in his mind. But as he sees the door close he bangs the voice and tries to keep the door open::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::The turbolift takes her to the Bridge of the Eridanus, something that normally wouldn't happen... guess Kaimana or this other person got her access.  She steps out, and looks around briefly, and then walks towards the blue uniformed officer::  ESO: Hello, Lieutenant...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::enters Sickbay and looks around for the CMO::
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>::Jamy talks to T'Kar for a moment, giving him a PADD, then leaves the science department on her way to the bridge::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Watching the CSO, he sees him being in kind of a trance. Perhaps he was still experiencing the same visions they had before.::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CMO: Doctor ??
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
*CTO*: i have external comms online, i am on my way to the bridge.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::bows over his console and sighs::  *CEO*: Understood, Watson out.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looks at his console and checks engines, still not working so he sits back::
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::looks up at the arriving CNS:: CNS: At least the Airillians are off the sensors, though LRS remains blurred for some reason. You really have no idea what sort of barrier could be between us and the Scimitar?
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>::jamy exits the turbo lift and enters the bridge, where she makes her way to the science console::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::He looks up from the CSO and to his side, seeing someone in a captains uniform and nods.:: CO: Captain Bolitho I presume?
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
::sees that he appears to have found a working external comm link:: COM: Eridanus: ESO: USS eridanus, this is the Scimitar are you recieving?
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::Steps towards the computer console::  ESO: No, I wouldn't.  I'm just the Counselor there these days.  What kind of energy signatures is it putting out?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::glances over at the XO, whispering::  XO: Commander, I do have a bad feeling of this...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CMO: you presume correctly doctor .. now mind telling me what on earth is going on down here
Host TigerLady says:
Action.. As a select group of senior officers gather on Starbase 657, red lights flash, red alert once more, in the depths of the station, huge doors slam shut forcefields errected behind the five people as they continue through the station...
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::taps a few buttons to show the CNS:: CNS: The strong, devastating kind ::shows the readings to Enki::
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::It's hard, but he tries to keep the door open. He tries to move closer and enter the classroom. Where is everyone? Where is his sister?::
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
CTO: I know, I don't like it either. ::repeats his hail to the Eridanus::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::grabs some tools and heads for the birdge::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::Sighs lightly::  ESO: Subspace?  Gravitational?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods and walks towards the captain.:: CO: I'll try, but this is also a little above my comprehension. It appears that our guests ::Gestures to the pair on the biobed.:: are not quite who we believe they are.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
ALL:: All engeering crew keep up the good work and get those Engines online please.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
XO: Ethan, when does my shift end? I feel rather peckish.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::looks at there guests:: CMO: Are they a threat to this ship doctor ? And what do you mean are not who we belive they are ?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
TL: bridge.
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: Unknown. We were also able to detect a large weapon's fire directed at Daenti IX earlierr, I'd say everything there is destroyed
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>::Jamy looks at the console and see that the comm system isn't what it should be. She starts to work on it::
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
::Turns to the FCO:: FCO: Jim, you've got your orders, your shift doesn't end until we have some propulsion.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::waits for the TL to stop and gets off::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::Looks curious::  ESO: What does that have to do with the Scimitar's situation?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
CTO: were do you need me to fix.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
XO: Great, take away again. I'll have the medium size pizza with pepperoni.
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: What's happening with the engines?
Host TigerLady says:
Action.. the CSO Can smell the hot air of the jungle, tasting the moisture in the air as if he is there, yet in the sickbay, able to see in his mind a memory of a classroom, the holo display once again lights up...
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: They are in the area. I think anything is plausible at this time. The latest data from the barrier say its centered on the Scimitar exactly. It disrupts subspace only when anything approaches, may it be a ship or a sensor beacon or a com.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::points at the master display console::  CEO: Hopefully that will solve our problems with controlling the shields and sensors.
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: Could it ... be generated by the ship itself?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
XO: sir dont worry i have the best Engeering crew working on it.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Shakes his head as he looks over to the guests again.:: CO: I do not think they pose any significant threat to us. However, it would be wise to keep them confined to sickbay as much as we can. They intend to do us no harm, but on the other hand, they did mention the Scimitars weapons. I believe they might have tried to leave and disable them. As for what I meant they are not quite who they appear. The couple act to much in sync. They speak together or finish each others sentences. And if one goes into shock, the other does as well. Almost like identical twins.
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@ESO: Subspace is causing difficulties... ::Looks around the Bridge to find an operations officer::  EOPS: Can we send a signal in another method?  Radio?  Morse?
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: How long cheif?
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: Its a good try . ...
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::helps the EOPS with that::
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
CTO: Can you see the Eridanus on sensors?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
XO: Just wondering are the runabouts powered up?
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::Still oblivious to what goes on in the real world, in his mind he still sees the classroom. Somehow it seems more of a memory than an actual event. It feels like he's in the jungle. He looks at the holo display and strains to see what shows up::
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: But the simple fact that vessels in normal space are destroyed if approaching is an indication that normal space is affected as well
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
XO: Checking...  ::loads the latest sensors readings::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@ESO: Perhaps.  But ships are still putting out subspace energies - sensors, low level warp coil fields....
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Before you even suggest it Jim, no we're not going to have the runabouts tow us.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::looks a little puzled:: CMO: They wanted to try and disarm the weapons? how about you try and get them to disarm the other side beofre they reach us ::Smiles:: if they comminicate again try and make them understand that the weapons are for our protection and we need sheilds ect... if not then toy with idea of putting them into stasis before they do any damge please.
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::scratches her head:: CNS: But we can see them ... could they see us?
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>::Jamy sees that some conduits are fried. Looking at the screen she reroutes communication through some undamaged conduits, trying to get a dependable communication going::
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
XO: about thirty minutes sir.
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::goes over to the master display console and begins working in it::
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: Is there any ... light pattern you think would be obvious to send a message?
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::Looks over the strange readings more::  Computer: Computer, try to match these energy readings with any known patterns.
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@ESO: Radio didn't work?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
XO: We have the Eridanus on sensors, they are just laying there... just like us....
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::shakes her head:: CNS: The signal was stopped right at the edge of the barrier ...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::looks towards the CSO:: CSO; Lt are you okay
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CTO: Suggest you link our systems with the runabouts . Their not as sophisticated, but They'll do the job. Also suggest you jury rig their comm system with ours.  ::looks at the XO:: XO: And Voilá Sensors and communications, need something else?
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@ESO: Try Morse code... if you don't know it, it's in the computer.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: CO: That will not be a problem, Ma'am. But I would like to ask for a security detail to guard sickbay on the outside. I think it would be best if they didn't see any weapons in here.
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
COM: Eridanus: ESO: Scimitar to Eridanus, Are you recieving?
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<SO_Will>::Will looks at the dead man before him. Another good life gone. And for what? He picks up the body and takes it away::
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::nods and runs a check on the computer:: CNS: What should I say? Hello?
CEO_LtJg_Harris says:
::still working on the master display console::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::Nods slowly, keeping her patience::  ESO: Could be a good start.  Let's see if they get the message, then we'll send something complex.
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::He can hear voices in the background. Who is it? no idea. not important. Keep looking at the holo display. What are they trying to tell me? Talking to himself, Jonathan tries to stay focused on the thoughts he's having::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CMO: understood but I get the feeling if they want to go walkabout nothing is going to stop them, once we have repairs done I will arrange a force field around sickbay ... have you manged to gain any other information ?
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::nods and makes the forward lights of the Eridanus blink strongly, which makes it actually a funny thing to see at the distance. She spells H E L L O in morse code and repeats it several times::
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
::turns and spots the junior SO working on the Coms:: Jamy: You there, can you access the ship's external lighting system?
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: I suppose now we wait ::puts the Scimitar on the viewscreen::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::sits back and shakes his head:: Self: why do I get on the ships with the most amatuers.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks over to the CSO and back to the captain.:: CO: Nothing usefull at this time. We have been able to communicate with our guests, but they only showed us images from our past, things we remembered. Although some events were not how they happened. Something there was not right.
Host TigerLady says:
Action... One of the starships blinks it's lights falshing in the darkness of space.... this can be seen by the starbase and the remaining taskforce vessels including Scimitar...
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>::Looks up as she is addressed:: XO: Yes sir, i believe i can. ::Taps on the console to bring up the controls to the lighting::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::The computer spits back an answer to the energy signature::  ESO: Um, Lieutenant... what do you know of an object called the "Star of Destiny"?
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
CTO: Can you see anything strange with the rest of the ships?
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::thinks:: CMO: Maybe they are trying to chnge the events to show you something that happened, but using your memories insted of theres... or possibly something that might happen .... I get the feeling they are here for a reason .. we just need to find it out before they take this ship out
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
Jamy: Have you ever heard of a very old method of communication called Morse code?
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::blinks:: CNS: Should I know anything?
Host TigerLady says:
<The Pair> ::their voices echo once more in the two officers minds:: CMO/CSO: Must leave ::adding urgency to their final word:: now....
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::shakes his head::  XO: Not really...they seem to be ready and waiting for things to come.
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>XO: Yes sir. Last year we used the same method of communication internally.
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::Shrugs::  ESO: The computer says the Eridanus and Scimitar were involved in an... incident.. involving the Star.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
XO: We got two runabouts in perfect working order. they have working communications system!!
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: I was assigned recently, I did not have the time to get up to date with the past missions yet. Do you know what this star is?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Tilts his head and puts on a brief slightly painful expression as he hears the voices again, then looks up with wide eyes at the pair.:: CO: Ma'am, I think they just said something again. Could you hear it too?
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
Jamy: Good... ::adresses Jamy and the CTO:: CTO/Jamy: Jamy, I want you to flash use the lights to send out a simple message... SOS. Mr Watson, I need you to watch for any reply from the other vessels.
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@ESO: No, not really... and computer records are classified...
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::frowns:: CNS: So we can not even look for an answer to fighting this barrier there
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::Wakes up from his "dream", and looks around. CMO: Did you hear that? ::Sees the CO:: CO: Sir, it seems the pair wants us to leave. Or they want to leave themselves. I'm not sure about that. But i do know they think it's urgent
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:: gets to his console:: *Shuttlebay*: Get one runabout and link it's comm system with the Ships comm. And then open a comm to the Eridanus!
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@ESO: Not.. necessarily.  You keep an eye for a reply from the Scimitar, I'm going to work on accessing those records.
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: Understood, Sir.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Looks at the CSO: CSO: Unfortuantly we are not going anywhere they took out most of the ships including the engines .. unless they would be kind enough to repair them for us ::looks at the two lying on the beds:: But if they want to go we cannot stop them
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
XO: Morse code, next we'll light a fire on the hull and send smoke signals!
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>XO: Aye sir ::She turns around to the console and starts flashing the exterior lights. short-short-short long-long-long short-short-short. SOS. ::
CTO_Lt_Watson says:

ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::watches the Scimitar flash an SOS on the screen:: CNS: We have got ourselves a communication device
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: You can try that yes, I will try to find out what I can from them
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Nods at the CSO, then looks at the captain.:: CSO/CO: I don't think they meant to leave with the ship. ::He turns to the pair and walks a few steps closer to then.:: Pair: Where do you wish to go?
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
::Looks at the pair and tries to contact them:: Pair: What do you mean? Do you have to leave? Or do we have to leave? You disabled our engines, so we're in no state to leave at the moment.
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::sends a message flashing again "There is a barrier around you. How do we get across?". and repeats that::
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Enough Jim! you concentrate on helping Mr Harris with the engines!
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
<Shuttlebay> *FCO*: working on it. ::the shuttlebay crew go to work linking the runabout comm to the ships comm::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@::Starts inputting an access code Admiral Richmond taught her, and reads over the reports... a device of unimaginable power... the planetside testing that nearly wiped out a sector...::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:

::looks at Ethan and raises an eyebrow:: XO: Next time listen. I'm linking one of the runabouts communications system to our own. that way we use the Runabouts comm system and we can talk to the eridanus.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::watches the CSO:; *XO* Bolitho to MacAllister
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>::Looking outside she notices the Eridanus flash her lights as well in a familiar pattern:: XO: Sir, the Eridanus seems to be complying. ::Her lips move as she reads the message:: XO: It seems there's a barrier around us. They want to know how to get across.

:: shrugs:: CTO: If he's looking for me I'm warming up a brig cell ::heads for the TL::
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
Jamy: At least we got a response, tell them to stand by and watch for our signal.
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::waits for a reply,hoping the scimitar has an answer::
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@CNS: Anything?
CTO_Lt_Watson says:
::nods::  FCO: I'll relay the word...
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::hears the voices and shakes her head hating people in her head:: Pair: who are not here ?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the captain as though he waits for her to respond to the pair as he was certain she could hear them too this time.::
XO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Back to your station Jim... NOW!
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>XO: Aye sir ::Turns to her console and starts using the lights to send a message "Please standby and watch our signals"::
CNS_LtCmdr_Enki says:
@ESO: Take a look at this.  The Star of Destiny was... some sort of weapon.  Or, more precisely, a weapons enhancer.  It might have been destroyed... or not - the records are uncertain.  But the Scimitar, if it's somehow got the Star, their energies may be fueling it.
Host TigerLady says:
Action... Nurse Lenny comes running up, handing the CMO a PADD, leaving quickly to return to her work and stay away from the two on the biobeds
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:: enters the TL:: XO: Warn me when the engines are working again and tell me when the general Court martial is. TL: Brig!
ESO_Lt_Carika says:
@::sends an "Acknowledged" back to the Scimitar 3 times, then stops the signals::
CSO_LtJG_Pierce says:
<Jamy>::She wonders why the Eridanus would send a message 3 times? Are they ignorant? Or do they think the Scimi is?::
ESO_Lt_Carika says:

Action... The Eridanus has relayed a fated message to a ship who should understand their words clearer then any other in the fleet... STAROFDESTINY.. The CO meanwhile is left with no recollection or knowledge of such a star...

Action... The Pair smile in unison.. an echo in the minds of those around, the dull thudding headache accompanying thier words.. 'cannot stay'
