FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::grumbles::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*XO*: I've activated the pulses Sir, no sign of the intruders yet...

<Ens Spanner>  :: stomping around engineering :: Self:  Frolicking with half naked women on the holodeck.  I'll show him frolicking.

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::exits his quarters:: MO: Where did they want me?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*OPS*: Affirmative. Keep your distance lieutenant. We can't afford any more casualties.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::In the brig, looking at the CTO:: CTO: You wanna do the honours?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::paces in the brig, going over the plan one final time to make sure they have things in place::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*XO*: Understood...Trust me, I'm going to try. ::makes an adjustment to the pulses::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<MO_Doyle> FCO: they want you in the brig straight away.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: I really wish we could just get the hell out of there....we've lost enough people.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
MO: Well, okay then ::mumbles and heads for the brig::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::makes an interface with his PADD so he can still control the pulses should he have to evacuate the console area::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<MO_Doyle> ::shakes his head and heads back to sickbay::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: CEO: I agree on you with that chief. ::looks around for a moment.:: What can we tell the captain? Is it a go or no go?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::gets another cup of tea from the replicator::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::in TL:: TL: Brig.
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Go.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO::  CSO: We'll do it together...  ::glances at the present telepaths::  if you coordinate the technical efforts I'll try to get these telepaths to do what we want...  ::grins::  speaking of which... where on earth that FCO of ours ?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::modifies the pulses to the exact same pattern as when they were initially activated on the bridge::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::the TL arrives at the Brig and Vonir exits the bridge in a very bad mood::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::starts thinking of a way to detect the aliens to see if they are on board or not::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::tries to get a smile on his face:: CTO: I believe he is on his way. ::Looks at Johansson:: SO Johansson: Ready to activate the containment field?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::enters the Brig and speaks a little angry:: All: Who ordered me to wake up?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: CEO: Thanks. ::Taps his COM badge.:: *CO*: Captain, the holodeck 1 is set up as requested sir.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
<SO Johansson>CSO: Ready sir
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::sees the FCO enter the brig and frowns at him::  FCO: Nice of you to join us, Lieutenant... and both Commander Pierce and I requested your presence...
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CTO: I finally got some sleep. I'm not happy now.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::mumbles::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: wandering around sickbay waiting for the heads up::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::makes some more adjustments on his PADD, amplifies the pulses::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::sighs for a moment and moves to designated area for the telepaths::  FCO: Tough luck, Lieutenant... duty calls... even when you're not happy about it.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::in his quarters, working on overdue paperwork::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::leans against the bulkhead, wishing this was all over::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*XO*: Understood. Monitor the situation and keep me posted. MacAllister out. ::returns to his tea::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Shrugs:: CEO: I think he wants us to stay here I suppose. ::Takes a look at the beach girls again.:: Do we mind?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
Telepaths: All Right... let's get this show on the road... on my command start thinking good thoughts and try to project them as strongly as possible to each and everyone in the brig area.... hopefully this will attract those shadows and will give the CSO a shot at them...  ::smiles faintly::  telepaths: Ready?

ACTION: The temperature in the brig begins to fall.

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Feels a chill:: All: Attention, this is it!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::Self: thinking good thoughts, I won't::
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Not at all sir. So....want to draw straws, decide who flips the switch? ::motions for the Van der Graff generator::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
Telepaths: Good Thoughts everyone!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
Self: And happy thoughts with this cold? I want to sleep.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::closes his eyes and begins sending positive feelings throughout the brig area::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::wonders if he will see anymore intruders, or whether he was right in assuming they didn’t care about the pulses::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::wanders out onto the bridge and relieves the ensign in his chair::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::tries to think of sleeping::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::leaves his quarters heading for the holodecks::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the CEO with a questionable look.:: CEO: Draw... straws?

ACTION: The temperature in the holodeck begins to fall.

CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: sees the MO arrive back at sickbay::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::almost dozes off::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
MO: All sorted?
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Oh sorry sir, a human expression. In the early ages, a few straws of different lengths were held in ones hand, and people drew them...the one who got the shortest had to do something.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::shivers for a moment.:: CEO: We're on the beach and forget about straws... turn this bloody thing off!!
CEO Lt Rome says:
::feels the hairs on his neck stand out as a cold breeze washes over him::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::opens one eye to glance around the room to see if he can notice a change::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::feels very alone::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::sips his tea and glares at the Pakled ship on the view screen::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::can sense the cold as he gets closer to the holodecks, feels an ache in his fingers::
CEO Lt Rome says:
Computer: Computer, end program! ::turns to the XO with a question mark on his face::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::tries to focus as he did back on the bridge, but it's hard as he's having some major shortage of sleep and energy::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
<MO_Doyle> CMO: Yes Sir all sorted.

ACTION:  A shadow appears in the brig a few feet from the CTO.

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
All: Attention, here it comes. SO Johansson: Activate containment field, now!
CEO Lt Rome says:
::feels his fingers getting cold::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
<SO Johansson>::Activates the containment field around the shadow, adjusting the ratio of positive and negative ions::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::shivers::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks around as the Holo image disappeared and tries to find something.:: CEO: Darn... I ... err... freaked out here. I hate those darned shadows. Did you get to see it?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::feels exhausted and starts to wobble::
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: I don't see anything sir, just feels cold...
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::feels the thrill, anticipation and longing again::  Self: Good thoughts... good... thoughts...  ::pushes himself to keep a constant flow of thoughts::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CO*: shadow has appeared in the brig sir, as planned. We're trying to hold it now
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::senses glimpses of thoughts again he had back on the bridge::

ACTION:  The shadowy figure moves closer to the CTO.

CEO Lt Rome says:
::starts to worry, wondering if any more people are going to get hurt...and his thoughts turn to Karri, hoping she's alright::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::orders another scan of the Pakled vessel::
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Should we turn it back on?

ACTION:  The containment field holds......for now.

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Thinks for a moment.:: CEO: I suppose so. We have to get this through, don't we? Resume the Holo program and turn that machine on.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::tries to keep his balance and not to pass out due to exhaustion::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO: Careful, he's getting closer. it appears the field is holding
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Me?

ACTION:  A shadowy figure appears in the holodeck.

CEO Lt Rome says:
Computer: Computer, start program on all decks.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::swallows as he sees the shadowy figure coming closer and closer::  Self: Good Thoughts...
CEO Lt Rome says:
::sees something at the corner:: XO: Okay I think I will turn it on!

ACTION:  The containment field keeps the shadow from reaching the CTO.

CEO Lt Rome says:
::runs to the wall and kneels down, and starts powering up the generator::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::arrives at the holodeck just as the shadowy figure materialises::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks power flow from the cargo bay console::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CO*: The containment field is holding so far
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods:: CEO: Good than we mi... ::sees the shadowy figure too and starts to whisper.:: Take your distance chief... let that generator do what it needs to do.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::eyes wide:: CSO: Sir!
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CSO*: That's a start.
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: It need to kill!
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::slowly moves a bit further away from the force field to keep a respectable and reassuring distance::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::keeps sending happy thoughts and glances at the FCO::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
All: Okay, everyone, ease up on the happy thoughts, we have it in here now. Let’s see if we can keep it here. SO Johansson: Ensign, I want a second field around it, with a different ratio. I want to make sure it stays put
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CSO: Sir, I feel a rage and heard an evil scream of anger.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::starts feeling worried::

ACTION:  As the generator comes online.....the shadowy figure quickly leaves the holodeck.

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::shakes as he heard the thoughts::
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Where did it go?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::looks around and still whispers:: CEO: I don't know, I thought you said you saw it.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks around and sees the CIV standing in the doorway:: CIV: Did you see it leave?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::hears the CSO comment and opens his eyes::  CSO: How are we doing...?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::wonders what’s going on down below::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CEO: Yes, as soon as the generator kicked in it left

<Shadow in Brig> ~~~CTO/FCO: Make it stop!! ~~~

CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::eases up and wipes some sweat from his forehead, then moves around the force field and towards the CSO::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
FCO: We're keeping it from its pray. Try to stay on the sidelines here. ::Helps the SO adjusting the second field to ensure a better containment:: CTO: So far so good. Now we can see if theory and practice are the same
CEO Lt Rome says:
CIV: Now that is what I wanted to hear! ::smiles:: All: It works.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::sits down as he gets more overwhelming thoughts:: CSO: It is in pain. I can feel it, I can actually hear it.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::looks over at the CTO:: CTO: You heard it too?
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CEO: Good work, at least we have some defence. Shame they aren't flammable ::smiles::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CSO: There we go... it tries to communicate...  ::frowns and shakes his head at the pain projected towards him::  and it's not happy...
CEO Lt Rome says:
::smiles::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::wonders what’s happening elsewhere:: *XO*: Idrani to Abmeraz, I don’t think its working from this side
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: You bet... it's far from happy... let's see if we can have a civilized conversation here...
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the CIV than to the CEO.:: CIV/CEO: Now we must find a way to get working all over the ship... and the planet of course.
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: I already have that figured out...in theory of course.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CTO: With your permission I can read your mind. We can converse that way too, Sir.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CO*: Sir,. it seems like we're about ready to start a dialog here
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*OPS*: Copy that lieutenant. We might have something working over here. The CEO is now working on a way to get this done all over the ship.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*XO*: Permission to stop the pulses, Sir

<Shadow in Brig> ~~~CTO/FCO: Please....please make it stop!! ~~~

CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  FCO: No problem.... as long as you keep out of the things I marked as "none of your darn business"  ::smiles::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CSO*: I'm on my way. ::heads for the turbo lift and takes it down to the brig::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CTO: Aye Sir. You've got my word as an Ullian and a Starfleet officer.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO / FCO: The CO is on his way. You're doing a great job here. 
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*OPS*: Granted. Wait for further instructions. ::Looks hopefully at the CEO.:: CEO: Alright, let's hear it chief.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
~~~~FCO: Understood....~~~~  CSO: Thanks... we'll wait till the CO arrives... then we can finally get some information on what is going on...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::deactivates the pulses::

<Shadow in Brig> ~~~CTO/FCO: It hurts...I promise, I won't be bad...please stop now. ~~~

CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Sir, I have a plan standing by to utilize this generator with the deflector dish, but instead of an outward pulse, I have programmed it to bathe the ship from top to bottom.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~CTO: Here we go.~~~
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Shadow: How can we take your word on it? You've attacked us several times.~~~
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::feels happy that nothing bad happened::
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: The ship might get a little....electrical, a lot of static electricity could fire up here and there, but our systems are insulated against that.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::arrives at the brig and stops as he sees the 4 foot tall shadow in the containment field::

<Shadow in Brig> ~~~FCO: I have not hunted anyone on this vessel. ~~~

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks puzzled at the technical information just presented.:: CEO: What about the crew? Is it in any way going to affect the crew?
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Not more than some stings from static electricity from the carpet sir.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the data read outs of the scanners:: SO Johansson: Make sure we're recording all this
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::the CTO can 'hear' the conversation:: ~~~Shadow: Then why were you here?~~~
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::keeps his focus on the shadow and the FCO, following the conversation::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Frowns and gets a painful expression on his face.:: CEO: Well, I hope that carpet stays away chief. ::Taps his COM badge.:: *CO*: Abmeraz to MacAllister.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*XO*: Go ahead Commander.

<Shadow in Brig> ~~~FCO: I was going to hunt here, but, I promise I won't now.  Please, stop hurting me. ~~~

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Shadow: We can only release you if we know it for sure. Why were you going to hunt?~~~
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*CO*: The test on the holodeck seems to work. The Chief has a way to implement it on the entire ship. It might cause a little electro static discharge throughout the ship on certain places. Nothing hazardous though.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~CTO: Can you tell the CSO to inject me with a stimulant to keep me from passing out?~~~

<Shadow in Brig> ~~~FCO: It is in my nature.  It is what I do. ~~~

CO Capt MacAllister says:
*XO*: What about the effect on the computers?

<Shadow in Brig> ~~~:: cries in pain:: ~~~

CEO Lt Rome says:
::feels like an anvil is taken off his shoulders....as his mood clears up::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
~~~FCO: Sure thing...~~~  CSO: We need the CMO down here to observe both us and the shadow... the FCO may need a stimulant soon to keep up the current level of performance...

ACTION:  A much larger shadow approaches the brig.

CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks over at the XO and CIV:: XO/CIV: Has the Thorazine been counter measured? I feel....good.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*CO*: Should be shielded sufficiently. The Chief guaranteed it would not harm any being or electrical device on the ship... aside from the shadowy figures of course.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Shadow: But if it's your instinct, how can we be sure you won't attack us again when released? What do you need the hunting for? Is it for food?~~~
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
All: Attention! Another shadow! SO Johansson: Ensign, put a second containment field around that shadow
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CEO: I'm not sure, although I am feeling much more like myself
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::frowns again as he feels anger and pain coming closer, he turns around quickly::  CSO: Another shadow is coming... and it is much larger....

<Shadow in Brig> ~~~FCO:  We feed.  :: notices the bigger shadow :: Big Shadow:  Mother!! ~~~

CO Capt MacAllister says:
*XO*: You still haven't told me exactly what effect it's had on the shadows.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::finishes with the console:: *XO*: Sir, I can't do much down here alone, Permission to return to the bridge?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks over to the controls and brings up the internal scans::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CMO*: Doc we need you in the brig to monitor the telepaths. *CO*: A second shadow has appeared sir
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::senses the other shadow:: ~~~Shadow#1: You feed on what? Energy? Perhaps we can find you an alternate source so you don't have to kill people.~~~
CEO Lt Rome says:
CIV: Commander Esjam, can you take a look at this please.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Location.

<Big Shadow> ~~~ FCO:  Release her or I will tear all of you apart!!!!! ~~~

CMO LtJG Numark says:
*CSO*: On my way sir.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
::walks to the CEO:: CEO: What do you have?

ACTION:  The containment field doesn't hold the larger shadow.

CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
~~~Big Shadow: We will not hurt her... we are just trying to understand what you want.... you are hurting and killing our people...~~~
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Shadow#1: Ask your mother to calm down. If you do so, I can trust you in a certain way.~~~
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*CO*: I err.. can only tell it scares them off. We have no ability to chase them yet, but we might be able to scare them off far enough from the ship, maybe even the planet. *OPS*: Make sure you turn that thing off first.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*XO*: To hell with it... get it done and get it done now.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: grabs some medical supplies and heads to the brig::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Shadow: I don't want to hurt you, but I have to be sure you and your mother won't hurt us.~~~
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CO*: In the brig. It seems to be larger than the one already here. 
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::feels his energy is dropping::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*CO*: Aye captain. ::Looks at the CEO:: CEO: You heard it, go and get this done. The sooner the better.

<Little Shadow > ~~~Big Shadow:  Mother, please...it hurts.  FCO:  Please stop. ~~~

CEO Lt Rome says:
::points to the display, showing the internal scans from the whole deck:: CIV: It seems as though the generator is emitting a field covering almost 3 decks. And from what I can see, the effect it has on humanoids is that it raises the serotonin levels.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*XO:* Aye Sir. ::leaves Cargo Bay1 and heads for the TL::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Aye sir, but I will have to take the generator with me.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::glances at the CSO::  CSO: Can you expand the field so the shadow isn't hurt ?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::taps the CSO on the shoulder:: CSO: Why are you still using that thing? I'm right here... can we contain it?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
TL: Bridge, and step on it!
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Shadow: I really want to trust you. If we release you, won't you or your mother harm us and do you stay here so we can talk?~~~
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Looks around:: CEO: And we have to turn this program off. If you take that... ::Points to the generator.:: I do not want this scene around me. ::Smiles nervously.::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Shadow: Please?~~~
CEO Lt Rome says:
::smiles:: XO: Aye.

<Big Shadow> ~~~ FCO:  We will leave, you have something here that causes pain. ~~~

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Turns around, startled:: CO: Sir, I didn't see you. CTO: Affirmative SO Johansson: Make the field a bit wider ensign, add about half the current radius
CMO LtJG Numark says:
::arrives at the brig ::

<Big Shadow> ~~~ FCO:  She is dying!!  If she dies, I'll kill all of you. ~~~

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Big Shadow: Where are you going then? You've killed people down on the planet too. Perhaps we can find something you can feed yourselves with. ~~~
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::sees the CMO arrive::  CMO: Hey Doc... the FCO and myself could use a stimulant to keep us on our feed....  ::smiles faintly as he concentrates on the big shadow again::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::arrives at the bridge and gets to OPS1, checks the ship status::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
CSO: Lower the force field!
CEO Lt Rome says:
Computer: Computer, end program on all holodecks.
CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: Permissions to shut down the generator? ::turns to look at the CIV as he studies the readouts::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the FCO and hesitates:: SO Johansson: Ease up on that field ensign, make it a quarter of the power output and merge both fields.
CMO LtJG Numark says:
:: cautiously heads to the CSO::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Big Shadow: Please stay here then. I want to find a good solution together with you. I trust you not to harm us and I promise not to harm you shadows~~~
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods:: CEO: Of course, shut it down. Need some help getting that thing down?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
All: Someone want to tell me what's happening?

<Big Shadow> ~~~ FCO:  You don't understand.  This is what we feed on, there is nothing else.  We will leave, just let her go. ~~~

CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks over to the unit and flips the 'OFF' switch:: XO: Nope.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
CEO: Looks like we can hold them off with these, but capturing one might be difficult
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Big Shadow: Is it energy? And what sort of energy?~~~
CEO Lt Rome says:
CIV: I am on my way to deflector control now, we can implement this all over the ship from there.

ACTION:  The big shadow moves towards the containment field.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks to see if there were any messages from the Governor::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::picks up the heavy machinery::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Big Shadow: We are very inventive people, we can find a solution to this.~~~

<Little Shadow > ~~~FCO:  Oh thank  you!  The pain is gone!! ~~~

<Little Shadow > ~~~FCO:  Please let me go now.  I will leave. ~~~

CEO Lt Rome says:
XO: I'll be going then, I better not take any people with me cause they might try to stop me....well I hope not. ::smiles::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::hears the little shadow and turns to the CSO::  CSO: Their pain is gone now... what do you do ?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
CEO: Alright, then get things done and I'll be on the bridge if you need me. ::Looks at the CIV.::CIV: Commander?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Little Shadow/Big Shadow: You can trust me, I don't want to harm you, but I want to find a solution so you don't have to kill anyone else~~~
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks the power flow to the containment fields::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods to them both and heads out into the hallway, towards the TL::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::taps his foot::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CTO: I decreased the intensity of the containment field and merged both fields so the 2 shadows can be together. CO: Sir, it seems the FCO is communicating with the shadows. Not sure what is happening
CMO LtJG Numark says:
CSO: You wanted me down here.

<Big Shadow> ~~~ FCO:  There is no solution.  There is no other way.  We will go now.  We will not bother you or those on the planet. ~~~

CEO Lt Rome says:
::feels his arm tiring from carrying the item, and shifts it around for a better grip as he heads to the TL at the end of the corridor::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
~~~FCO: We decreased the intensity of the field, we should be able to create something positive for them...~~~
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Can you hear what's being said?

ACTION:  The Big Shadow touches the containment field and sparks begin to fly as she begins to penetrate the field.

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Walks closer to the CIV.:: CIV: Commander! Anything you could tell from the readouts?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::sighs, so many things to think about:: CMO: Yes, thanks doc. We need you to keep an eye on the FCO and the CTO. This experience is pretty hard on them and I want to make sure no one goes beyond what's healthy
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::turns to the CO and nods::  CO: They are...  ::sees sparks come of the field...
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::jumps and spins round staring at the sparks::
CMO LtJG Numark says:
CSO: Understood sir.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Deck 16, Deflector control.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~CTO: The pain is gone and they have promised several times in a rather calm way they'll leave and won't harm us or those on the planet. I suggest shutting down the shields~~~
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Tell me that's supposed to happen.
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
XO: I'm not really sure Sir. As you know I'm a simple soldier. But it seems that the generator would be effective is protecting us from the Shadows. No bad thing if you ask me
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Big Shadow: Please hold, I'm trying to convince the others. I trust you, but you have to trust me.~~~
CMO LtJG Numark says:

FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~CTO: Is the CMO already down here? I need that injection~~~
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir I lowered the intensity of the field. I'm not sure what happened, but the FCO made it clear that it needed to be done

<Big Shadow> ~~~ FCO:  Trust has little to do with it.  You could hold my child, but, you can not hold me.  :; continues to push through the containment field ~~~

CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
~~~FCO: Seems like the only option....~~~  CO/CSO: Sir, Commander...  I suggest lowering the force fields... they have promised to move out of this region of space...  and it seems we cannot hold them anymore...
CEO Lt Rome says:
::manages to tap his badge:: *Engineering*: Rome to Engineering, monitor power flows from Deflector control, we will be attempting to use the plan we formulated. Make sure static electricity does not affect any systems. Shut down the M/ARA. Rome out.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Nods:: CIV: Indeed. There is little left that we can do here, perhaps you can head down to the brig, see if they need any help there? Or you could join me, going back to the bridge.

ACTION:  The containment field begins to overload.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Shut it down.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::the TL stops and he starts moving down the corridor quickly, and turns the corner and enters Deflector control::
CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
XO: If its all the same to you Sir I'll head to the brig and see if I can assist
CEO Lt Rome says:
All: Get out of here.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Big Shadow: We lower the force field now. Our apologies to what we did, but you have to understand we needed this to do. It's a shame we can't find a solution.~~~
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::console beeps with a power overload and tries to cut more power to the system::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::Sees his people frown, then put their tools down and leave the room, then he places the generator on the main control board and starts connecting it with a fibre optic cable::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Aye sir. SO Johansson: Shut down the containment field

<Big Shadow> ~~~ FCO:  It is...we did not realize that you were sentient. ~~~

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods again.:: CIV: Very well. ::Leaves holodeck one and moves towards the nearest TL.::

<Big Shadow> ~~~ FCO:  Farewell. ~~~

CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
<SO Johansson>CSO: Aye sir ::Shuts down all 3 fields::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::taps his COM badge:: *CEO*: Hold off on activating that device ship wide Lieutenant.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~Big Shadow: Goodbye and have a safe time. I will miss you shadows. As long as you don't freeze me again. Farewell.~~~
CEO Lt Rome says:
::stops and stands up:: *CO*: Aye Captain...I am moments away from finishing the work down here.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~CTO: They are leaving, make sure they won't be harmed in any way.~~~

CIV Cmdr Esjam says:
;;arrives at the brig:: All: Did I miss something?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  ~~~FCO: The Captain sure of it.... nice work, Lieutenant~~~
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
<made sure of it>
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~CTO: Thank you Sir. It's a pity we didn't have more time to talk. I'm sure we'd have found some solution to the problem of them needing energy~~~
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
~~~CTO: Any now I'm...~~~ ::passes out::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Gets on the TL:: TL: Bridge.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::sighs and sits down on the floor, feeling pretty annoyed at being sent running with this thing and then asked to stop as he was finally getting close to kill those things....he knew it wasn't Starfleet-like to think that way, but sometimes he just felt enough is enough....I'm an engineer.....shakes his head and rests comfortably against the wall::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Gives a sigh:: CO: Sir, might I suggest stopping the administering of depressing gasses?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::sighs and takes a seat on the floor, taking some time to relax::  Self: Good ending after all...
