Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::motions for the AT to stop again:: All: Anyone else hear that?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: Hear what Sir?

<Lenny>  ::nearly jumps up from the chair she was sitting in:: XO:  Zoran??

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@FCO: Someone just said "Welcome home".
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: Didn't hear anything Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::blinks::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::steps lightly off the TL, looking around the bridge, noticing that it all seems a little empty::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::sees nods from the security team::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::is nicely making a personal butt groove in the Big Chair (TM) after getting some opportunities to command::
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::continues looking round the dark corridors::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@All: Ok, we proceed with caution. ::turns to Numark:: FCO: Lieutenant, see if you can raise the Scimitar on coms.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO:Aye Sir.

<Alien AI> @All:  I am glad you are finally here.

FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::taps her com badge::
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::moans some more as he tries to get up, but notices his muscles are sore from all the lying down::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@Out loud: Who is that?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@*Scimitar*: USS Scimitar, this is FCO Numark do you hear us?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::hears the CO over the com:: *AT*: Idrani here, go ahead.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::tries clearing up the poor transmission::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::waits quietly by the TL until Commander Idrani is free::
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@*OPS*: We hear you.

<Alien AI> @CO: I am a Mark 4, automated intelligent voice address system.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::sees the CNS enter and stands up:: *FCO*: What is your status?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: The Scimitar can hear us.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: Ok...... and when were we here last?

<Lenny>  XO: Zoran!!  Thank goodness your finally awake!!

<Lenny>  ::begins to hug him::

FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@*OPS*: We arrived safely, found some mummified species laying around, taken some samples to bring back looking around a bit more .
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::As soon as he hears Lenny, he narrows his eyes, which hurt from the lights around him and his voice croaks as he tries to speak.:: Lenny: Len... Lenny?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::only catches half of the transmission, something about her mummy taking samples?:: *FCO*: Can you repeat that? We're having difficulty clearing up your signal.

<Lenny>  XO:  Yes.  It's me.  ::turns the lights down::

FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@*OPS*: Found mummified species taken samples looking around a bit more.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::waits for the AI to answer again::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
*FCO*: Understood. Scimitar out. CNS: Counselor.

<Alien AI> @CO: You personally have never been here, you as a species have been here many times.

XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::without the bright lights he can slowly start to see shades and shadows again.:: Lenny: Where... am I?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: Scimitar informed Sir.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@FCO: Good job.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: And where, exactly, is here?

<Lenny>  XO:  Don't panic, but you are in the morgue.  It was the only place to keep you in stasis.

XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::feels his heart beat rate going up.:: Lenny: Morgue.... stasis? What... happened?
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::shakes out of her mild stupor and approaches the commander:: OPS: Commander, just officially reporting for duty. You may call me Sara or Natalie. I respond to both.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Thank you, Ensign Sumner. ::extends a hand::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::shakes his hand briefly, still smiling:: OPS: I don't think that was one of the options, sir.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::wanders on ahead and shines her torch down the corridor seeing the same lifeless mummified species on the floor::

<Alien AI> @ CO: You are in the alpha quadrant, sector 121.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: I don't believe we are on a first name basis Counsellor. ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::sighs:: AI: I'm well aware of our position but what is this ship?
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: How about lunch sometime, then? Not now, of course...
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@FCO: If you're going to wander off make sure you take someone with you.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Lunch... perhaps ::will have to convince himself:: Thank you. What are your intentions now, Counsellor, duty wise?
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: Well, I was going to go over some of the notes from the previous counsellor... did you have something you wanted me to do?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::sees some huge consoles before her ::
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: Going to inspect these consoles I have seen down this corridor Sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: No, but stick around.

<Alien AI> @ CO:  This is a class G exploration vehicle.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::motions for a couple of the team to follow her::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::nods slowly and looks around, wondering where she was allowed to sit::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::sits back into the Big Chair (TM) and nods to the chair to his left for the CNS::
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::makes her way through the bodies and heads towards the consoles ::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: And what are your intentions?
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::smiles slightly and sits in the offered chair, watching the viewscreen::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::zooms the view in on the nuclear wessel:: CNS: Impressive, isn't it.

<Lenny>  ::gently brushes his hair back from his forehead :: XO:  You had some severe brain damage due to gamma wave particles.  You had to be in stasis to allow your own body to repair the damage.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::shines her torch over the consoles and notices just the general consoles but much bigger::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: Do you find size impressive, commander?

<Alien AI> @ CO:  What is the intentions of anyone in the universe?  To not be alone.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::laughs aloud:: CNS: Nice one..
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::grins smartly and looks at the ship:: OPS: It's certainly large... any idea what it is?
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Tries to sit up straight. His facial expressions don't lie about what his body is telling how much it hurts.:: Lenny: How am I doing? Can I... ::looks up:: get back to work?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Not yet. I'm monitoring the away team. Hopefully they'll get some info.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::wonders if we can get these consoles working to see what the ships last voyage was::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: Is there somewhere we can talk in a slightly more comfortable location?

<Lenny>  XO: You can do no such thing at the moment.  Let's get a few tests run and then you can go to light duty in a hover chair until you muscles are built back up.

XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
Lenny: But...

<Alien AI> @ CO:  You may go anywhere you wish on this ship and I will be able to talk with you.  If you will follow the illuminated floor markers, you will find a lounge.

FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::heads back to the CO::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::nods to the security team:: AI: Ok, we'll head to the lounge, but I need to know what happened to the bodies we found at the entrance.
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::tucks a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and sits back in the chair, idly tonguing her lip piercing::

<Lenny>  XO: Don't you but me Commander!

<Alien AI> @ CO:  That is a sad tale.  ::voice actually sounds sad::

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: I need to know about it.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: I found some general consoles, wonder if we can get this ship powered up Sir.

<Alien AI> @ CO:  I do not wish to talk about that right now.

XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks up and manages to smile a bit.:: Lenny: Yes ma'am. ::Pauses for a moment.:: How are you holding up... sweety?
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::points to the illuminated path on the deck:: FCO: Looks like it already has power.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: None of the console have power Sir.

<Lenny> ::smiles at him:: XO:  I am so much better now.  ::tears form at the corners of her eyes and she throws herself on his chest and hugs him:: Oh Zoran!  I thought I'd lost you!

CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::stifles a yawn and blinks her eyes::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Bored, Ensign?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::follows the illuminated path::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: Hm? Oh, no sir. I didn't get as much sleep as I'd wanted last night.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Any reason?
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: I'm an occasional insomniac.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: I'm afraid you leave me in a difficult position here, you seem to be asking for friendship, well friendship requires trust and trust requires honesty, I need to know what happened if we are to build a working relationship.
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::wraps one arm around her and replies with a croaky voice again.:: Lenny: I'm just like weeds... hard to get rid of honey.

<Ens More> :: runs onto the bridge :: All:  OH MY GOD!!!!!  It's back!!!

CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::turns to see where the commotion is coming back:: More: Wait... what?

<Alien AI> @ CO:  Oh, I will gladly tell you the tale, I just do not wish to tell it right now.  You have only just arrived.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: You should really see a counsellor about that.
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::smirks softly at OPS, resisting the urge to call him a smartass::
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::Looks at the CO as she hears what the AI says::

<Lenny>  XO: I haven't slept much at all and I've just been beside myself.  It's so good to let it all out now.  ::begins to dry her tears::

XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::indicates he wants to get up and into sickbay to receive his treatment.:: Lenny: Shall we then?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
More: What's back?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: Captain ..... is this ship going to keep us here ... I mean if we try and leave it's not going to kill us is it?

<Ens More> All:  Someone, please help!!  They are going to get me!!!

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: How can I guarantee my crew's safety?
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::gets up from her chair, approaching the Ensign slowly:: More: Who's out to get you?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
More: Calm down Ensign! ::grabs a hold of his shoulders::

<Ens More> :: runs to OPS and grab him :: OPS:  They wouldn't believe me....but...I know they're here!!

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::looks sincerely at More:: More: Who?

<Alien AI> @ CO:  I am incapable of harming any living thing.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@FCO: From what I figure, they're looking for companionship, Apparently Humans have been here before but there's no mention of the vessel in federation records, it's starting to look like that outcome may be possible, but I need to establish that before we jump to conclusions.
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::grimaces lightly, knowing that Commander Idrani is placing himself at risk::

<Ens More> CNS:  The nanites....I told the Captain that you can't get rid of them!

FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::nods at the CO::
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::stops in his tracks:: AI: There are a pile of corpses at the entrance that provide us evidence to the contrary.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::warily heads down the illuminated path hoping that this AI is not able to read her thoughts::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::rushes quickly to the emergency medkit, retrieving the hypospray and a sedative, anything that would knock the ensign out::
Host Jules says:
<Alien AI> @ CO: I understand your misgivings.  But, I did not harm them.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Don't knock him out, just something to calm him down.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::mumbles to herself about the AI's comments::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
More: Let’s test your theory, I'm sure you'll see everything is ok. Computer: I'd like a spring roll please.

<Ens More> :: sees lights on the console move and points his phaser at it :: All:  See!!!  I told you!!!!

CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: You don't calm someone in the Ensign's state; he's paranoid, convinced his life is threatened.

ACTION:  Ens More discharges his phaser at the OPS console.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::continues along the path cautiously:: AI: You realise I'm taking a lot on faith here.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::puts his hand to the phaser:: More: That was my shiney new console! Dammit!
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::rushes to the ensign, injecting the sedative into his jugular::

<Computer> OPS:  You will have to make that request at a replicator unit.

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Don't you know how to follow orders, Ensign?!
Host Jules says:
<Alien AI> @ CO: I understand and will answer your questions.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: I certainly hope so. ::comes to a door and watches it open revealing the lounge behind it::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::turns to an Engineer:: ENG: Check the computer for any signs of the nanites.

<Ens More> :: knocks the hypo spray from the CNS hand and grabs her throat, but doesn't have time to do more than squeeze and he slides to the floor ::

FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@:: looks into the lounge and sees no threats::
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Leans on Lenny as they are walking back towards the main sickbay.::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::backs up quickly, rubbing her throat gently::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::furious:: CNS: Dammit Sumner! I gave you a direct order!

<Lenny>  :: helps Zoran to sickbay ::

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@FCO: I suppose we take a seat.
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: I'm sorry, sir, but I think I know a little more about paranoia than you. Calming the ensign was not an option.
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@CO: And wait for what? AI to decide s/he wants to tell us what happened?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Respect my AuthoritaaR! Don't you think I was aware of the situation? That was my console!
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: And now, any information we needed from the Ensign will have to wait.

<Alien AI> @ CO: You may order any refreshment you wish.  I have been constantly updated to provide a vast array of delicacies.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@FCO: It looks like that's all we can do at the moment.
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: Would you rather he tried to hurt people?
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::While they stumble along, he can't help but to inquire about their current situation.:: Lenny: So... what's going on aboard the ship? Any idea?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: I understand you are qualified in mental health issues, but don't assume everyone is a retard ::calmer:: Next time I give you an order I expect you to follow it. You put yourself at greater risk, and myself.
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
Lenny: And when was the last time you and I had a serious date?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::walks around the lounge and looks out the windows and sees nothing but open black space ::

<Lenny>  XO:  Well, Captain MacAllister has returned.  I am sure he will be ready to talk to you once he is back from that big ship.

CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::looks at OPS incredulously:: OPS: Excuse me, sir? First of all, paranoia is not a state of mental retardation. I'll thank you to be a little less ignorant. Secondly, the longer he was awake in his state, the more everyone here was at risk.
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: Incapacitation was the only option...
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: I was referring to the fact you assumed I knew nothing of the disorder. ::points to the floor:: CNS: Now, clean...that...up.
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::looks a little worried:: Lenny: What big ship... and if he is there... who is running the ship?

<Lenny>  XO:  And it's been way to long since we've been out.

<Lenny>  XO:  I believe that LtCmdr Idrani is on the bridge.

CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::looks to the tactical officer:: Tac: Would you please take the Ensign to sickbay? Tell them he needs to be monitored and kept calm. I'll be down to work with him later.
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Frowns:: Lenny: Lieutenant Commander? ::pauses:: How long did you say I was out?

<Lenny>  XO:  Far too long.

FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::points at a few security and notions them to follow her :: CO: Sir, I am going to look around see what I can find.
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::frustrated at the CNS but also at himself for getting so frustrated::
XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
Lenny: But.. how long exactly? I... I need to get back on duty.

<Lenny>  XO:  Exactly 6 months.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::nods and takes a seat:: AI: So who created you?
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: One last thing, sir. If you knew enough about severe paranoia, you would have given the order to sedate him. It's plainly clear that protocol needs to be established on this ship in response to such actions. I'll be sure to send you a copy.

<Alien AI> @ CO: That is a complicated question as I am not exactly what I was when I left Valt.

XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Feels a little light headed and his legs turn to jelly.:: Lenny: ...
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::nods at the CO and heads out the lounge following the corridors twisting and turning::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: Need I remind you, you are talking to a superior officer. Now, ::calmer:: I appreciate your opinion but this is my bridge.

<Lenny>  :; grabs hold of Zoran a little tighter :: XO:  Come on Zoran, just a few more steps to a bio bed.

XO_Cmdr_Abmeraz says:
::His thoughts wander as he mindlessly follows Lenny and sits down on the biobed to be treated.::
CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
OPS: I would speak the same to you if you were an admiral... my duty is to the mental health of this crew, and I don't care what rank you are; if you give me an order to fail in my duty, I will ignore it.
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: Valt?
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
CNS: I am not in the mood for arguing. Let's just put it down to the situation and discuss it calmly over…lunch?

<Alien AI> @ CO: My planet of origin.

CNS_Ens_Sumner says:
::nods and takes a deep breath:: OPS: Lunch it is...
Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@AI: Where exactly is Valt? Is it anywhere near here?
FCO_Lt_Numark says:
@::steps over numerous mummified bodies looking at each to see if there are any marks to make them out::
OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::makes a peace offering smile and returns to his chair:: CNS: So…what exactly happened?

ACTION:  A light surrounds MacAllister.

<Alien AI> @ CO: Do not be alarmed.  I am only scanning you.

<Alien AI> @ CO: You would be long dead before we could reach my planet.

Host CO_Capt_MacAllister says:
@::shouts, visibly alarmed:: AI: A little warning would be nice!!!!

OPS_LtCmdr_Idrani says:
::twitches an antennae::

<Alien AI> @ CO: I will remember that you do not like surprises.
