OPS_Dain says:
CIV: Thank you Ian, you are the first of the crew to introduce yourself to me, very nice.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Pauses, placing his hands uncomfortably over his chair's armrests:: ~~~~ Coutz: I'm sure you'll understand my point of view if I should refuse? After all, we are being held in orbit above your planet... beyond our control? Perhaps if you, and a small delegation, should you agree to one, could come aboard the Gryphon? ~~~~

CIV_Ian says:
::Tesla looks at OPS and rolls his eyes... then offers his hand::

Florencia says:
@Coutz: And I wonder why. ::motions to the carefully arranged tables::

OPS_Dain says:
::whispers as she looks at the CO:: Tesla: Hello Tesla.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Frowns::

FCO_Johnson says:
*EO* Just out of curiosity, what is the ship's hull integrity, and could we handle going to warp while being held by this beam?

CIV_Ian says:
:;Tesla goes back to his tugging::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: All healing and repairs from unknown source stop.

Florencia says:
@::wonders what's wrong with coming to the planet for them?::

OPS_Dain says:
::shakes Tesla’s hand and then looking at the viewer: CIV: What do you make of this?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: I am in telepathic contact with... whoever is on the surface of the planet. They seem strangely disappointed by our reluctance to visit their planet.

CSO_Vortak says:
::recognizes telepathic communication when she sees it... is very frustrated that her abilities seem to be "turned off"::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Do you need any help?

CIV_Ian says:
::Ian bends over to Tesla, but stops as the OPS asks a question::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
*CMO* Acknowledged. I suppose we should be thankful for small favors, at any rate.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: Curious.

FCO_Johnson says:
ACO: Power increase to the engines has stopped sir.  No explanation.

CMO_OMallory says:
::runs scans:: Self: Healing has stopped...fascinating.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Raises his eyebrow:: FCO: Are we able to leave orbit?

CIV_Ian says:
OPS: Hmmm, appears to be your standard advanced race with delusions of quasi-godhead.. of course, that is my opinion based upon limited data.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Notes that the telepaths on Gryphon seem to be in some pain.  Blinks and pain disappears, however they still can't mentally send messages::

CMO_OMallory says:
*CO* Yes sir...good timing on our part.

OPS_Dain says:
::nods at him:: CIV: I concur.

EO_MacLeod says:
::notices the repairs increasing stops::

FCO_Johnson says:
ACO:  We’re still being held by this beam.  I am checking with EO on options now.

CIV_Ian says:
::Smiles at the OPS response to his somewhat humorous remark::

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  One moment, Ensign.

CSO_Vortak says:
::blinks, is getting a headache::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Feels as if a small weight has been lifted from his mind--one he hadn't even known had existed::

CIV_Ian says:
OPS: Given the shape we are in, I hope they are willing to be....    helpful.

EO_MacLeod says:
*FCO* No, we can’t do that.  The beam is holding us and it’s dangerous for structural integrity.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Raises brows to Florencia:: Florencia: And it has been so long since we've had guests.

OPS_Dain says:
::seems the man before her has a sense of humor as well as being able to wander the bridge, makes a note to find out who he is::
CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  What was their response?  Did you invite them to the Gryphon?

CIV_Ian says:
::Tesla continues to tug::

FCO_Johnson says:
*EO* I thought so, but I had to check.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Sighs:: CSO: When they want guests, they want guests. OPS: Hail the planet.

CIV_Ian says:
Tesla: What is it?

Florencia says:
@::looks as disappointed as Coutz is:: Coutz: Too long indeed. Nobody ever ventures here... ::looks at Coutz pleadingly::

CSO_Vortak says:
TO: Prepare a security team on the off chance the CO decides to send a team down.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Nods at Florencia and grins::

OPS_Dain says:
CIV: I do not think they will be helpful, or they already would have been.

CSO_Vortak says:
::rubs her temples at the pain::

CMO_OMallory says:
::continues to work on Ensign James::

CIV_Ian says:
:;pauses for a moment as he and Tesla seems to communicate without words, using small gestures and facial expressions::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: You still detect no sense of... ::pauses:: ...animosity from these people?

FCO_Johnson says:
ACO:  Our ship’s structural integrity is preventing us from attempting forceful means of leaving the beam.

OPS_Dain says:
::Hails planet:: CO: Yes sir.

Florencia says:
@::grins, and claps her hands, laughing::

CIV_Ian says:
Tesla: Really... that is strange...

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: The CO and OPS are "brought" to the surface.

EO_MacLeod says:
::hears FCO’s comments:: *FCO* I don’t think it’s a good idea...  Structural integrity is very low, checking.

CIV_Ian says:
::Starts as OPS and the Co disappear::

OPS_Dain says:
@::feels funny... and then:: Aloud: What?

CSO_Vortak says:
::sighs:: CO:  I have no telepathic ability, sir.  It appears to have been turned off.  I can sense neither animosity nor benevolence.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Feels a strange sensation tickle at his body, and watches as his surroundings dematerialize and then reappear around him::

Florencia says:
@::steps forwards, still a couple of steps behind Coutz, smiling her welcome at their guests::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Arms spread:: CO/OPS: Welcome, welcome.

OPS_Dain says:
@CO: Are you alright sir? ::looks around her::

CIV_Ian says:
::sits down at OPS... damn  the sensor arrays are still a mess::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: What if we feed reverse energy into the beam to disrupt it?

CSO_Vortak says:
::watches as the CO and OPS disappear before her eyes::

CIV_Ian says:
::scanning for the CO and OPS::

FCO_Johnson says:
::momentarily forgets the helm as the ACO and OPS disappear.

CMO_OMallory says:
James: Now, you will be alright.  Need to use the dermal regenerator on your leg burns.

OPS_Dain says:
@::Nods at Coutz but says nothing looking around trying to get a sense of their destination::

CSO_Vortak says:
TO: Will it do any damage to the planet?

Florencia says:
@CO/OPS: Indeed, it is wonderful that you came. ::tilts her head to a side, watching them with curiosity::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Doubtfully folds his arms across his chest:: Coutz: Yes... the pleasure's all mine.

CSO_Vortak says:
FCO:  Where did the Commander and Lt. Dain go?

OPS_Dain says:
@::taps her COM badge to see if she can get the ship::

TO_KTral says:
::What happened to the CO and OPS officer::

CEO_Taylor says:
::on the bridge at ENG Alpha::

CSO_Vortak says:
FCO: Hail them, please.

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: How may I be of assistance?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Brows furl as he looks deep into the officer's eyes::

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  Try to get a lock on them.

Florencia says:
@::motions to the table:: CO/OPS: Why don't you join us over here?

CIV_Ian says:
All: The CO and OPS have been transported to the surface...

FCO_Johnson says:
::Transfers OPS controls to the helm and hails the planet.::

OPS_Dain says:
@:;taps her COM badge again while frowning at the Captain::

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  You can try to find the commander and our OPS officer.

CMO_OMallory says:
::works the dermal regenerator and begins to heal plasma burns::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@<W>::Sarcastically:: OPS: I don't suppose you wear neither a phaser nor a tricorder on the Bridge?

TO_KTral says:
:: Trying to get lock on the CO and OPS officers::

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: Aye sir. ::smiles at Q'eranna::

CIV_Ian says:
CSO: OPS and CO are on the planet...  within meters of this fellow who was on the viewer...

CEO_Taylor says:
::begins a scan of the surface::

CSO_Vortak says:
::nods to CIV::  CIV:  Any idea how to get them back?

OPS_Dain says:
<W> CO: I have a tricorder sir, at my station not on me. I do have my phaser.

CSO_Vortak says:
FCO:  Any luck with hails?

EO_MacLeod says:
*FCO* Johnson, hull integrity is 80%.  Please, don’t push.

Florencia says:
@::frowns at Coutz, the corners of her mouth tilting up::

FCO_Johnson says:
::attempts to gain contact with the ACO.::  CSO:  Nothing so far.  I am continuing to try.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Nods and smiles:: CO/OPS: Please join us...::gestures to the table::

CIV_Ian says:
CSO: With the shape our equipment is currently in?  I would hesitate to use the TR.. and I would hesitate to anger people who could transport them out of here in the blink of an eye, as well.

OPS_Dain says:
@<W> CO: I do not suggest making an assault on telepaths at this time..

CSO_Vortak says:
FCO: Any response from the planet -- the man in white robes?

CIV_Ian says:
CSO: Maybe prep a shuttle for an emergency rescue?

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: I'm getting lifesigns but I can't get an exact lock on them yet, give me a minute...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Glances at Dain's waist, thinly smiling at the phaser:: <W> OPS: I don't imagine it will do any good at this point. ::Nods his head in Coutz's direction::  We might as well play his game until we have the means of leaving orbit.

CSO_Vortak says:
CIV:  Good point.  A shuttle was exactly what I was thinking.

EO_MacLeod says:
::observes Chief Kint heading back toward him, with the last impulse engine status::

OPS_Dain says:
@::nods at her Captain and moves towards the table::

Florencia says:
@::gets tired of waiting for the people to go to the table, and the table moves to them. It is filled with delicacies::

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  Please prepare a shuttle and a team for a rescue, if need be.

EO_MacLeod says:
::awaits FCO’s response::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::More than a little taken back, takes a step away from the table:: Coutz: Uh, yes. Of course. ::Slides into a seat at the table, motioning for Dain to do the same::

OPS_Dain says:
@::is hit by the table:: Aloud: Pardon me ::looks at Florencia::

CIV_Ian says:
::Tesla climbs up the back of the OPS chair and watches over Ian's shoulder::

FCO_Johnson says:
CSO:  No response from anyone to any hail on any frequency.

OPS_Dain says:
@:;sits down::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: Chair slides behind Dain.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: I can lock onto them but cannot beam them up. I also have the shuttle and team standing by.

CIV_Ian says:
::makes some adjustments in power distribution::

Florencia says:
@OPS: My apologies. ::smiles::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Careful to select his seat farthest from both Coutz and Florencia::

OPS_Dain says:
@::raises an eyebrow at those around her::

CMO_OMallory says:
::finishes with dermal regenerator:: James: Now, be a bit careful with that leg.  Will be tender for a couple of days.

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Sir, we have shields on 83%, hull integrity 80%.  Chief Kint just delivered me the last updates of impulse engines.

CSO_Vortak says:
TO: Can you tell if they are in any danger?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: A flask rises and pours liquid into glasses.

CMO_OMallory says:
<James> CMO: Aye sir...thanks for the fix up.

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: I am trying to get a lock on the Deltan life sign and then hypothesize on the human life sign, with any luck we'll get them both soon enough...

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO: Thank you.

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Where are you now, sir?

OPS_Dain says:
@Coutz: I am able to pour myself.. but thank you.. ::holds the glass in her hand but does not drink::

FCO_Johnson says:
CSO:  Apparently the communicators are not working either.
Florencia says:
@::walks and sits by the CO's side, all the time looking at him:: CO: It is wonderful to have guests. ::a plate with food moves his way::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: So, might I inquire what exactly this... invitation for a meeting... is in regards to?

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* Right now, as soon as we get above 80%, leave that system alone and go to the next... I'm on the bridge at the OPS station...

TO_KTral says:
::Scans the area that the CO and OPS officers are in ::

CSO_Vortak says:
ALL: Any suggestions before I send the shuttle down?

CMO_OMallory says:
::smiles:: James: Not a problem...

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::"Feels" the recent emotions of the OPS and Blinks::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Slides the plate away:: Florencia: Right. I'm not hungry just yet.

CSO_Vortak says:
::stands, puts hands on her hips::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: McMurdo joins the CO and OPS on the planet.

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Aye, sir.

Florencia says:
@::looks disappointed::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Smiles amiably:: But thank you for your kind invitation--

CIV_Ian says:
CSO: Make sure they don't get trigger happy.....  huh...?

FCO_Johnson says:
::transfers OPS controls back to OPS::  CEO:  Thanks.

CIV_Ian says:
@::looks around::

CSO_Vortak says:
::watches the CIV as he disappears::

Florencia says:
@::her eyes lighten up as she sees the new visitor:: CIV: Please join us here. ::waves her hand to him::

CEO_Taylor says:
::looks at McMurdo disappearing::

OPS_Dain says:
@::sees CIV appear:: CO: We have company.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: The CO and OPS officers are in no danger.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Starts again:: CIV: How nice of you to join us. ::Pushes his seat back::

CIV_Ian says:
@Interesting.

EO_MacLeod says:
::waits for a while:: *CEO* Do you require any power there?

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: We're getting seriously undermanned over here...

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CIV: Please...do join us.  ::slides chair to Civ::

FCO_Johnson says:
::sees CIV disappear and wonders who will be next.::

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* No thanks...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@CIV: Obviously. Among other things.

CSO_Vortak says:
All: Okay, I have had enough of this.  TO:  Get in that shuttle, take the FCO with you, take an MO and make sure you are completely armed.

CIV_Ian says:
@CO: Glad(?) to be here, Captain....  I think.

Florencia says:
@::a plate moves in the CIV's way::

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  Use the coordinates to locate our people and get them out of there.

CMO_OMallory says:
::moves on to LtJG Link::

FCO_Johnson says:
::stands and heads for the TL::

CIV_Ian says:
@Sits down::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Heading to shuttle bay.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: Captain Wilkens, we mean you no harm.

CIV_Ian says:
@::food looks good... starts eating::

Florencia says:
@::stands, and walks round the table to sit between OPS and CIV::

FCO_Johnson says:
TL:  Shuttle Bay 1.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Florencia/Coutz: I'm afraid I must respectfully insist that you return us to our ship immediately. Certainly there were other means by which you could have persuaded us?

CSO_Vortak says:
::looks at CEO:: CEO:  We just got even more understaffed.

CMO_OMallory says:
::sees more plasma burns, this time to neck an face::

Florencia says:
@::watches the man eat, smiling, and turns to the bald female:: OPS: Doesn't it get uncomfortable when it's cold?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@ CO: We seldom get guests and would be pleased to help you.

TO_KTral says:
::Arrives at shuttle and get fully weapons for self and FCO::

OPS_Dain says:
@::admires CIV's hunger:: Florencia: My name is Nerissa. ::extends hand::

CIV_Ian says:
::Looks at Mage and Florencia::  And you are?  If I may be so bold as to ask?

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Keep track of their whereabouts, please.

EO_MacLeod says:
Kint: We have to put LRS online, leave shields and call Beta team to help you.  I’ll be there later.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: We did ask.

Florencia says:
@::looks at the extended hand, and then extends hers as well::

FCO_Johnson says:
::arrives in shuttle bay and begins to prep shuttle.::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Looks up at sky and blinks again::

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: And if that weren't enough, I've got a perfect lock on them, but the beam doesn't energize, and the systems check out flawlessly.

CSO_Vortak says:
::sits back in chair::

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  That figures.

OPS_Dain says:
@Florencia: Are you cold? You said something about being cold.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: All shuttlecraft become inoperative.

EO_MacLeod says:
<Kint>: Okay.  On my way. ::moves::

TO_KTral says:
CMO: Is an MO on the way to shuttle bay 1?

Florencia says:
@OPS: No... I meant you... ::points at her head:: Doesn't it get cold without hair?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Sighs, realizing that discussion into this matter is futile, and since they DO appear to be genuine in their offer of help...::

CIV_Ian says:
@;;decides to let the brass handle things and continues to eat, watching the interplay carefully::

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: But I'll keep a lock on them and keep trying...

CSO_Vortak says:
::works on scanning the planet to see what else she can find out::

CMO_OMallory says:
*TO* No one told me of needing one, but can send one your way.

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Thank you, Taylor.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Glad to see that Ian is enjoying himself so heartily::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: Please let us give some comfort to your crew.

FCO_Johnson says:
::notices that the shuttle loses all power:: *CSO*  This shuttle is going nowhere.  It just powered down.

OPS_Dain says:
@Florencia: Not at all. I have a higher body temp.. it goes back in our history.. we have evolved with out hair, other than lashes and eyebrows.

Florencia says:
@::another plate moves to the CIV's position, the poor man seems starving::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: The shuttle is inoperative.

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Sir, do you need any assistance on main bridge?

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  Excuse me?  I must have heard you incorrectly.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Blinks and Ian's glass becomes full::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: Let me assure you that what will most comfort my crew is firstly leaving this nebula, and secondly returning home.

OPS_Dain says:
@:;listens to CO and Coutz talk as she makes nice with Florencia::

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* We are getting understaffed here, I give you total control of ME as of now, reports each hours and you still can ask me questions... We'll be fine for now...

TO_KTral says:
CSO: The shuttle just lost power.

CIV_Ian says:
@::looks up at the Co as if to say, might as well relax, we aren't going anywhere till these folks decide to let us::

Florencia says:
@OPS: That's interesting. Don't you want hair?

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Do we not have any operating shuttles?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: Ah, we can help with both those desires.

OPS_Dain says:
@Florencia: I do not need it, no. Want? Why want what you do not have?

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Okay.  Alpha and Beta teams are working on LRS.

CMO_OMallory says:
::works on plasma burns to LtJG Link's face::  Link: Now, hold still...

CEO_Taylor says:
::checks and he's eyes open wide:: CSO: They, they just broke down! No apparent reason...

FCO_Johnson says:
CSO:  No shuttles in this bay seem to be operable.  I'll try SB2.

CIV_Ian says:
@:;mumbles:: be nice if they would at least fix the LRS....  so I don't have to...

FCO_Johnson says:
::heads to SB2::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: In exchange for what, exactly? ::Leans forward, listening earnestly::

OPS_Dain says:
@::smiles at CIV's comment::

CSO_Vortak says:
FCO:  Thank you.  Let me know.

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* Very well, have fun with ME (but try to keep it in one piece). ::smiles::

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  No reason?  ::raises eyebrow::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: Your company for a short time.  We haven't had guests in several hundred years.

EO_MacLeod says:
::moves toward Alpha and Beta teams, helping them on setting LRS online::

CIV_Ian says:
@::continues to mumble:: and maybe the replicators and the SIF and the Warp drive and a few other things...  not that I mind the work, you know...

OPS_Dain says:
@Florencia: Why have you brought us here?

Florencia says:
@OPS: You can have it, if you want it. ::hears CIV and raises an eyebrow::

TO_KTral says:
::Goes with FCO to SB2::

Florencia says:
@OPS: You came here, so we invited you over. ::a plate filled with fruit approaches Dain::

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Are there any functional shuttles?

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: Systems check out, they're just... not working, I bet that the blue beam has something to do with it...

EO_MacLeod says:
::smiles with CEO’s comment:: *CEO* Yes... I will...  ::laughs::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: I see. How long is a short time? How long exactly would we be talking about?

FCO_Johnson says:
::arrives in SB2 and begins to check shuttles::

OPS_Dain says:
@Florencia: I could get it if I wanted it from where I come from.. I prefer my natural state thank you.

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Can you get us released from that beam?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Listens to Ian and smiles. Blinks and his glass is refilled::

CSO_Vortak says:
*TO* You are the one down there, Ensign.

Florencia says:
@::turns to the CIV:: CIV: No wonder you are so hungry, since you have so much work to do.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Eyes the food warily, considering whether or not to indulge his impulses::

CSO_Vortak says:
*TO* Please help the FCO find out.

CIV_Ian says:
@::still mumbling:: and maybe a redecoration of my quarters... maybe late roman Empire, lots of marble and gold leaf...

OPS_Dain says:
@::hopes there is not a high percent of alcohol in CIV's drink:: Florencia: May I have a glass of water?

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: First I'd need to know what that beam is made of and from where it is projected...

CIV_Ian says:
@F: Well, I try to keep busy.  ::smiles::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: Ah, time...::cocks head:: not long by your standards.

Florencia says:
@::blinks, and Dain's glass is filled with water::

CSO_Vortak says:
*ALL* Please arm yourselves and put a tricorder in your belt, just incase one of us gets transported down to the planet.

Florencia says:
@OPS: Of course.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: Perhaps you could be more specific? ::Pops some small food into his mouth and chews it slowly::

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Well, I suggest you find out.

TO_KTral says:
::Arrives at SB2::

OPS_Dain says:
@::thanks her and drinks:: Florencia: Cool and wet.. water. Thank you.

EO_MacLeod says:
::listens CSO’s orders:: Self: What?...

CMO_OMallory says:
::puts on phaser and medical tricorder, in case::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: May we bring your crew down to join us?

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: that's what I'm doing right now...

Florencia says:
@::looks up at the sky... knowing exactly what she is doing. In the Gryphon, McMurdo's quarters appearance changes... from the usual Starfleet stuff, the furniture and walls... everything is as he asked::

CIV_Ian says:
@Florencia: You know what I could go for...  I could REALLY go for some cheesecake, with cherries on top... that would be nice.

CSO_Vortak says:
::walks to weapons cabinet and gets a type I phaser, always carries her tricorder::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: No. I speak for the crew in times such as this, and right now I need to know exactly how long we're talking about.

FCO_Johnson says:
::pounds console of shuttle craft in fury:: *CSO*  None of these are operable either.

OPS_Dain says:
@:;can not help but to laugh at CIV::

TO_KTral says:
FCO: Is there any way we can check all shuttles at once? Maybe scan them?

Florencia says:
@::sighs, and then looks at OPS:: OPS: I am glad. We are proud of our water.

EO_MacLeod says:
::even without understanding, he takes the phaser and tricorder, ordering all e-staff to do the same::

CMO_OMallory says:
::continues with Link's burns::

OPS_Dain says:
<w> CIV: Stop it you are not helping matters. ::smiles::

FCO_Johnson says:
TO:  I see if they can from the bridge.

Florencia says:
@::waves her finger from beneath the table, and CIV's plate is refilled with cheesecake, with cherries on top::

TO_KTral says:
::Walks over to computer console:: Computer is there any operative shuttles on the Gryphon?

CSO_Vortak says:
*FCO* Acknowledged.

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: Got it! Oh! Bad news, that beam can only be stopped at the base and the base has very power deflector shields that will not only reflect what we throw at them but it also is twice as strong as our shields, I'll try to find another way...

FCO_Johnson says:
*CEO* Can you scan all the shuttlecraft for power?

CIV_Ian says:
@OPS<w>: Just trying to keep them from killing us all in a fit of pique, Nerissa. ::smiles::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Frowns, then sighs:: CO: A day, a week...long enough for you and your crew to recover.

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Great.

Florencia says:
@~~~~Coutz: They are so interesting... I am sure the others will want to come~~~~

OPS_Dain says:
@::thinks how dangerous it would be to have the whole crew down here wishing for things::

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* Ok, I need your help Mauro...

Florencia says:
@::frowns, bemused, at OPS::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@ ~~~Florencia: I agree ~~~

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  How long would it take to fix one of those shuttlecraft?

OPS_Dain says:
@Florencia: I made you frown.. ::knows now that they can read her mind.. ::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
<COMPUTER> TO: Negative.

EO_MacLeod says:
::listens CEO’s call:: Self: Now that I’m busy he calls me...  *CEO* Go ahead.

Florencia says:
@::smiles at Coutz, and returns her attention to their guests:: OPS: Perhaps the fruit is not to your liking... ::blinks, and the contents of her plate are changed to ice-cream::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: A day, I will consent to. Given that you give your honest guarantee that all ships systems will be restored to full capacity. In addition, all of my crew will be armed, and equipped with a tricorder. Forgive me for appearing presumptuous, but experience demands my wariness.

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: There's nothing to fix, they're generators are being influenced by the beam’s frequency, at least, I think...

TO_KTral says:
FCO: The computer says all shuttles are inoperative.

CIV_Ian says:
@::wonders exactly how much he could get away with--wishing and all that... hmmm::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: You give requirements to me?!

CMO_OMallory says:
::works on plasma burns to Link's neck::

FCO_Johnson says:
TO: Might as well head back to the bridge.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: Uh...

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Any suggestions, Taylor?  All I can think of now is to wait.  ::folds her hands on her lap, in contemplation::

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Sir?

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* First, I need a team to go repair a shuttle in case I'm wrong, then, I need you to find the beam's exact frequency...

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Looks up at sky once again and blinks long and hard::

OPS_Dain says:
@Florencia: I like ice cream. ::takes a timid bite::

CSO_Vortak says:
Self: Focus, Q'eranna

TO_KTral says:
*CSO* Can we have the CEO feed a reverse energy beam into the blue beam to weaken it enough to escape from it?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Eases into the back of his chair, carefully watching Mage Coutz::

Florencia says:
@CIV: You are actually enjoying this. ::smiles like an older sister would::

FCO_Johnson says:
*CSO* The TO and myself are heading back to the bridge since we can't get a shuttle.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: Entire crew of Gryphon appears on planet surface.

OPS_Dain says:
@::gets an itch in the middle of her back::

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  The CEO has discovered that that would cause more damage than harm, I am afraid.

CEO_Taylor says:
@::materializes::

CSO_Vortak says:
@::materializes on planet::

CSO_Vortak says:
@::hand on phaser::

CMO_OMallory says:
@::Looks around and sees not in sickbay::  Self: What the...

CIV_Ian says:
@CO<w>: Ixnay on the emands-day...  think about what these people could do to us if you piss them off.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Shoves his chair back:: Coutz: What exactly do you think you're doing? Forgive me for my frankness, once again, but did we agree on any certain terms?

TO_KTral says:
@::Draws phaser and cautiously looks around::

CSO_Vortak says:
@::sees Wilkens and Dain, relieved:: CO:  Sir?

CEO_Taylor says:
@::gets phaser and tricorder  out::

FCO_Johnson says:
@::materializes on planet wondering where the TL went to::

EO_MacLeod says:
::listens CEO, thinking about it::  *CEO* I’ll send you the e-team, sir.  Do you want the exact frequency..... @ ::stops his speech while found himself in other place he doesn’t know::

FCO_Johnson says:
@::draws phaser and tricorder::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: WE did not.

TO_KTral says:
@CSO: Your orders?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@CIV: Thank you for your insight, Mr. Ian. I'll keep it in mind for future reference.

CSO_Vortak says:
@TO:  The Commander is in charge now, Ensign.

CMO_OMallory says:
@All: what happened?

EO_MacLeod says:
@::looks to CEO and others::

Florencia says:
@::stands from the table, and approaches the newcomers, a butterfly following her steps::

TO_KTral says:
@CO: Do you need any assistance?

Florencia says:
@All: Welcome.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::His hands tighten into fists, clenching his napkin in fury::

CEO_Taylor says:
@::looks at his commanding officer (Q'eranna)::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: Might I inquire when you plan on returning us to our ship? Who will attend to it in our absence?

TO_KTral says:
@CO: Do you need any assistance?

CIV_Ian says:
@CO: Okay...   ::shrugs...  SF Captains, all like they were stamped out of a mold or something...  same thing alla time::

CMO_OMallory says:
@::begins to scan::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@ACTION: Mages move...fly in ....appear all around the large table.

EO_MacLeod says:
@::nods to everybody there:: ALL: Hi.  What happened?

FCO_Johnson says:
@CSO:  We're now in contact with the captain.

CSO_Vortak says:
@::notes the Captain's emotions::  Florencia::  I am Lieutenant Vortak.

Florencia says:
@All: Please take a seat and join the feast.

CEO_Taylor says:
@EO: We got transported, I'm afraid...

Florencia says:
@CSO: I am Florencia. ::a seat appears behind the CSO::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: We will care for your ship...it hurts.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@TO: Stand by to ensure the safety of the crew. I'm afraid I haven't been entirely able to... determine the wishes of these people.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: I thank you for that.

CSO_Vortak says:
@::sits in seat that appears behind her::

FCO_Johnson says:
@::Thinking "The ship Hurts?::

EO_MacLeod says:
@::gets next to FCO and CEO:: FCO, CEO: What’s happening here?

Florencia says:
@::thinks for a moment, and the CSO's plate is filled by a vegetables dish::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@ACTION: Phasers, if any present, don't work...tricorders give unusual readings.

CSO_Vortak says:
@CO:  We were able to locate you, sir, but unable to reach you via comms, transporters or shuttles.  I am sorry.

CMO_OMallory says:
@::looks around, wondering of the injured he left behind::

Florencia says:
@CSO: Please excuse me, I must go see the other guests.

CEO_Taylor says:
@::is surprised by the seat coming to the CSO (who is next to him) and aims at it::

CIV_Ian says:
@::decides to wander off and look around...  maybe avoid ground zero if the CO manages to anger these folks::

OPS_Dain says:
@::sits in silence and watches::

TO_KTral says:
@::Has security team secure the place with weapons drawn::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@ALL: Please join us...eat, be happy.  ::Chairs appear out of nowhere::

Florencia says:
@::approaches a group:: CEO, EO, FCO: Please take a seat at the table. Your presence honors us.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Moves to a seat beside his 2nd Officer, carefully lowering his voice:: CSO: I doubt that my negotiations, even should they have been successful, would have been of any use.

Florencia says:
@::the bottles start filling the glasses with different beverages::

CSO_Vortak says:
@::looks at food materializing in front of her:: Outloud: Curious.

EO_MacLeod says:
@::takes his tricorder and starts to analyses...  just unusual readings::

TO_KTral says:
@::moves besides CO with phaser drawn::

CMO_OMallory says:
@::sees chair appear and slowly, carefully sits::

CIV_Ian says:
@::walk along calmly....  lets see what we can find out while they are all busy::

FCO_Johnson says:
@::Chair appears behind FCO:: EO: It appears that what we want at the time just appears.

CSO_Vortak says:
@::aside:: CO:  Well, I made my best effort, sir.  What is with this food?

CEO_Taylor says:
@Florencia: If I may ask, why did you transport us here?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@Action: Wherever a Mage moves, the ground and vegetation glow momentarily.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@CSO: Apparently, these beings are nothing less than... omniscient.

EO_MacLeod says:
@::looks and approaches:

TO_KTral says:
@CO: Area is secure.

CEO_Taylor says:
@::sits down in sign of trust::

Florencia says:
@CEO: We invited you.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@CSO: Your guess is as good as mine.

CIV_Ian says:
@::wishes he had a damn tricorder....  of course, it probably wouldn't work::

OPS_Dain says:
@::notes CIV leaving and asks for Florencia’s attention to distract:: Florencia: Have you always had these powers?

CSO_Vortak says:
@CO: Fascinating.

TO_KTral says:
@CO: Area secure.

CSO_Vortak says:
@CO:  What do you make of them, sir?

EO_MacLeod says:
@::looks to FCO:: FCO: What? ::a chair appears behind, he seats::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@TO: Understood. Remain wary, no matter what the circumstances may seem to be.

CMO_OMallory says:
@Self: Intriguing.

CEO_Taylor says:
@Florencia: I see, must have forgot to check my mail... ::smiles to show her that it is a joke::

Florencia says:
@OPS: No... but for a long long time. ::not concerned about CIV wandering off, although her brows knit for a fraction of a second::

TO_KTral says:
@::remains alert::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@CSO: I don't know at this point... ::Shrugs:: ...I really don't know. Perhaps we should take the grand tour?

FCO_Johnson says:
@TO:  Could we sneak off and find the source of the deflectors around the beam?

Florencia says:
@::looks curiously at the CEO, and then smiles:: CEO: You are here and that's what matters.

OPS_Dain says:
@Florencia: Are there many of your kind on the planet?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: While you eat I will gladly answer questions.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: Would either you or your companion here ::Motions to Florencia:: Be willing to give us a brief tour of your culture?

CSO_Vortak says:
@CO: Couldn't hurt, since it seems as though we are at their mercy.  ::taps tricorder:: CO: And I cannot even record any of this data for later analysis.  ::harrumph::

CMO_OMallory says:
@::looks around at other crew::

EO_MacLeod says:
@::listens FCO idea:: FCO: Wait!  They are able to sense our thoughts.

CEO_Taylor says:
@Florencia: I agree, is there anybody left on our ship?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Nods at Mage in something less than thankfulness::

Florencia says:
@OPS: About a thousand... please excuse me. ::starts walking around the table, making sure all plates are filled to the guest's contents::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CEO: No, we are caring for it.

TO_KTral says:
@CO: ::whispers:: Permission to find source of beam and neutralize it.

Florencia says:
@CEO: Nobody ::smiles::

EO_MacLeod says:
@::whispering:: CEO: Sir, are you feeling anything?  Reading any thoughts?

CIV_Ian says:
@;;hmmmm, what's in here....  doesn't look like a private domicile, so we will wander in and see... Tesla comes scampering up, having tracked Ian down:: Tesla: Ah, there you are... figured you would be along shortly... keep your eyes and ears open.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@TO: Denied. For now. If possible, locate it from a distance. If necessary, we may need to resort to a contingency plan.

FCO_Johnson says:
@::a glass of wine appears in FCO's hand.  He sets it down since he is on duty.:: EO:  What are we supposed to do then?  Not think?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Looks at TO and shakes head::

OPS_Dain says:
@::her attempt at distraction failed she closes her eyes, while not a telepath with extreme concentration she can get emotional readings.. she concentrates on Courtz::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Waits patiently for Mage's response::

CEO_Taylor says:
@::turns his head at the Mage, he didn't realize that he was there:: Mage: As I could see, you are caring for it well, its regeneration cycle was reduced by 30%.

CMO_OMallory says:
@::sees a glass of whiskey appear in front of him::

Florencia says:
@::pouts a bit at the TO, shaking her head lightly::

EO_MacLeod says:
@FCO/TO: Just wait for a while, we have to check if they can really read our minds right now...

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: We have been here for a millenium.

CMO_OMallory says:
@::hesitant to take glass::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@CSO: And you might want to... advise the crew, that their thoughts are... well, tell them to use extreme caution when thinking.

CEO_Taylor says:
@::smiles:: EO: I don't feel, I just hear telepathic comms...

CSO_Vortak says:
@Mage:  A millenium?  CO: Yes, sir.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: I see. ::Sits back down::

TO_KTral says:
@::still standing besides CO watching everything that is going on::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: We seldom get guests...or any we want to meet.

Florencia says:
@::nods at Coutz's wisdom::

CSO_Vortak says:
@FCO, CEO, TO, CMO, EO: No point in being coy, folks.  These people can read our minds.  No covert actions are possible.

EO_MacLeod says:
@CEO: Yes, sir, whatever...  Are you?

OPS_Dain says:
@::she concentrates on the sounds in the room::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: Curiously enough, you wanted to meet us?
CEO_Taylor says:
@EO: Nothing yet Mauro...

CMO_OMallory says:
@CSO: I guess that is why for the whiskey...

OPS_Dain says:
@::she narrows her mind to the sound of Coutz voice::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: Yes...you needed our help.

EO_MacLeod says:
@CSO: That’s exactly what I said, Ma'am...

CSO_Vortak says:
@CMO:  I would assume so.  ::gestures to the Vulcan spice tea in front of her::

FCO_Johnson says:
@::sits back in chair attempting to focus on events happening without doing a running commentary in his mind.::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CSO: Nevertheless, being gracious is better than nothing. ::smiles::

Florencia says:
@::smiles at the CMO and in turn to the CSO::

CSO_Vortak says:
@EO:  Good, Ensign.

TO_KTral says:
@::takes tricorder out and scans for energy source::

OPS_Dain says:
@::listening to each sound his voice makes::

CSO_Vortak says:
@ CEO: Indeed.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: From the pictures in your minds you are good people.

CIV_Ian says:
@::too bad that lovely OPS officer is still back at the...  banquet(?)...  this is a really nice place::

Florencia says:
@CSO: We have learned much during our lives. And we have more yet left to live and learn.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: Other Mages fly in on rugs, chairs, sofas...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: Thank you. I... apologize for my brash actions and statements earlier. You must understand, since you seem to know so much about us, that it was required, not to mention prudent, for me.

OPS_Dain says:
@::from a distance she can sense red for warmth and blue for friendly.. they are curious.. they just seem curious::
CSO_Vortak says:
@Florencia:  What have you learned? ::is curious about their culture::

CMO_OMallory says:
@::takes glass and slowly sips::  Self: My...the stuff like in Ireland.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Nods:: CO: Prudence is a virtue. ::smiles::

EO_MacLeod says:
@FCO: Let's just make a triangulation to find out the energy positions.  Don't forget that our tricorders are making unusual readings.

CMO_OMallory says:
@::begins to think of home a bit::

CSO_Vortak says:
@::raises eyebrow::  CMO:  Aren't you still on duty, Doctor?

Florencia says:
@CSO: A lot. All we are... we have learned through time.

FCO_Johnson says:
@::decides to break regs and picks up the glass of wine.  Sips::

CIV_Ian says:
@::of course, that one female mage wasn't too hard on the eyes either... but then again, she could be some multi-tentacled monstrosity in some sort of disguise...  better safe than sorry::

OPS_Dain says:
@CO: If I may have a moment with you.. ::looks at Coutz::

CSO_Vortak says:
@Florencia: I would like to hear about it.  Or better yet, see it.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: What others do you refer to, when you mention them visiting your planet?

TO_KTral says:
@CSO: The energy that the beam comes from is coming from the mages.

CMO_OMallory says:
@CSO: I was, then I was here...not sure why or how.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@OPS: Yes, of course. Coutz: If you'll excuse me.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Moves from his chair to a place of relative silence::

TO_KTral says:
@CO: More mages are entering the room things might turn hostile.

CSO_Vortak says:
@::also raises eyebrow at FCO who is still on duty... :: Self: What are these officers coming to?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Frowns in thought:: CO: It has been a long time.  err, Klingons? Like him? ::points to TO::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@TO: Agreed. Proceed with your investigation with extreme caution. We don't want to step on any toes, so to speak.

CMO_OMallory says:
@::still feels a bit uneasy::

EO_MacLeod says:
@::whispering:: FCO,TO,CEO: Well, according my readings, the energy for the beam is coming from the mages.

Florencia says:
@CSO: I am wondering though, why some of you want to destroy our energy sources. How would you go back to your ship without us?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Makes a mental note. Self: Klingons?::

FCO_Johnson says:
@::sets wine down after one sip::

OPS_Dain says:
@CO: I sense in them curiosity.. nothing more than warmth.. now that may be what they want me to sense.. I am sure they know I can.. ::looks back at the table:: CO I advise .. caution.

CSO_Vortak says:
@Florencia:  It goes against our values to be held against our will, even if the intention is good.

Florencia says:
@::waves her hand at Maris, who arrives in her carpet::

TO_KTral says:
@CO: The source of the energy is coming from the mages.

CIV_Ian says:
@::well, the plants seem awfully....  plant-like....  and the walls seem awfully...  wall-like...  and everything awfully everything-like...  sigh::

CEO_Taylor says:
@EO: To make sure that you understood, I'm half Betazoid only, while most half-Betazoids have a little bit of both reading messages and feelings, I am fully able to read telepathic messages and sometimes even thoughts.

Florencia says:
@CSO: But you'd be stuck here with us for eternity. It doesn't sound... ::smiles:: logical.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: The cloud you call a nebula helps keep us safe...but it also limits our guests. ::smiles::

EO_MacLeod says:
@CEO: Sir, did you heard me?  I made a little adjustment on my tricorder, the energy source for the beam is coming from the mages.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@OPS: I intend to proceed with nothing but. Are you certain there was no reference of Klingons in the Owlston nebula? ::Self: At least, I think there would be. If they returned::

CSO_Vortak says:
@Florencia:  We do not want to be stuck here, we want to find our way out, you see.

CSO_Vortak says:
@Florencia: That is... logical.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@TO: Well I'm not sure exactly where that leaves us...?

CMO_OMallory says:
@::stops drinking whiskey, has a feeling of something not right with it::

FCO_Johnson says:
@EO: Could the Nebula be produced from this planet artificially?

OPS_Dain says:
@CO: Klingons.. no sir.. ::confused:: No Klingons.

CSO_Vortak says:
@Mage: Indeed.  It has certainly limited us.

EO_MacLeod says:
@CEO: Is there any way to take'em out, disabling or something like that?  Do you think so?

Florencia says:
@CSO: And you will, with our help. But it is time to enjoy our hospitality now.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: We have learned how to channel our energy over the centuries.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@OPS: Curiously enough, shouldn't there be? I mean, if they returned?

EO_MacLeod says:
@FCO: Perhaps.  But they would need too much power to produce the nebula...

TO_KTral says:
@CO: We could fight them but I think it would be very costly.

CEO_Taylor says:
@EO: Right now, I think that we should just talk to them, we'll see what happens...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Nods in Coutz's direction, smiling diplomatically::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: Remember our last guests were a hundred years ago.

OPS_Dain says:
@::nods at the COO::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@TO: I doubt we would stand a chance.

CMO_OMallory says:
@CO: Sir, I am a bit worried of the injured left in sickbay...

CSO_Vortak says:
@Coutz: Could you really fix our ship? ::Unsure why she doubts... she saw it happening for herself::

CSO_Vortak says:
@ Coutz, Florencia:  Why us?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Sighs:: One more question among many. Somehow we're adding 5 and 3 and coming up with 9.::

EO_MacLeod says:
@CEO: Okay, I'm going to continue the analysis of that mages...

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Looks at CMO:: CMO: All are here sir...

TO_KTral says:
@CO: How did the pirates avoid them?

Florencia says:
@CMO: They are all here. Nobody is left on your ship. ::points at the formerly injured, mingling with the other crew, perfectly healthy now::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@TO: I wish I knew.

Florencia says:
@CSO: You were here.

CEO_Taylor says:
@CSO: I've checked it out, the readings that I got telling us about the deflector shield being twice as strong than us, was a deception to scare us from even trying to shoot at them...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Cocks his eyebrow:: Or maybe they did detect them?

CSO_Vortak says:
@Florencia:  Yes, but you said you don't always enjoy your guests?

CIV_Ian says:
@::well, all this stuff can't really be magic...  there has to be some power source or technology around here somewhere... it just looks like magic.  The glows coming from the mages/planet indicates some sort of link....   ::

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CMO: Of course those missing limbs we can't help.  Just remove their pain.

TO_KTral says:
@Mage Coutz: Did the pirates ever run into you?

CSO_Vortak says:
@CEO:  So what is the deflector shield then?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Rivets his attention to Mage::

CMO_OMallory says:
@Mage: But I need my equipment from the ship to treat them.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@TO: Pirates? No. Why do you ask?

Florencia says:
@CSO: Some have been rude, and didn't enjoy our hospitality. We like nice people like you.

EO_MacLeod says:
@::with partial analysis, he calls CIV to take a look on the information collected from mages::

CIV_Ian says:
@:;might be implants.... of course, hitting one of these guys over the head with a rock and performing an impromptu vivisection would probably NOT be a good idea...  ::

CSO_Vortak says:
@Florencia: I see.  No Orions have visited you lately?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Looks deeply into the Klingon's eyes trying to get a sense for what a pirate is::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CSO: As the shuttle crafts were influenced in shutting down, the sensors were influenced in making us believe there was one...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: That's odd. We believe they were traveling through this section of the nebula recently.

CMO_OMallory says:
@::goes over and treats them with the med kit and medical tricorder::

CIV_Ian says:
@::hears the EO shouting... heads over his way::

TO_KTral says:
@Mage Coutz: They live in the nebula that protects you. And that is the main reason we are here.

Florencia says:
@CSO: No, we haven't had any visitors in the past 100 years.

CSO_Vortak says:
@CEO: So the beam does not exist?

CIV_Ian says:
@EO: You rang?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@::Hears Ian's thoughts, looks at Florencia and smiles::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CSO: The Mages are emitting the beam...

EO_MacLeod says:
@::whispers:: CIV: Doctor, my tricorder was able to determine the energy source.  It's coming from the mages.  I made a partial analysis of them, can you take a look on it?

FCO_Johnson says:
@::joins the EO and CIV::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@::Approaches the CSO:: CSO/CEO: What do you have?

CSO_Vortak says:
@CEO: Emitting it how?

Florencia says:
@::giggles as Coutz looks at her, these are the best visitors they have ever had::

CSO_Vortak says:
@CEO: Brief the commander, if you wouldn't mind.

CIV_Ian says:
@EO: Certainly.. let me see....

CEO_Taylor says:
@CSO: Yes, they're the cause of it all...

TO_KTral says:
@ Mage Coutz: They live in the nebula that protects you. And that is the main reason we are here.

CSO_Vortak says:
@CEO: Any way to get us back to the ship?

EO_MacLeod says:
@::hears CSO ask::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: As the shuttle crafts were influenced in shutting down, the sensors were influenced in making us believe there was one... So, the Mages are emitting this beam...

OPS_Dain says:
@::looks at Florencia as she giggles and wonders how old she is::

CIV_Ian says:
@EO: I am surprised that this thing is working.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO: We can help with your craft...but only those things that haven't been totally destroyed.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@Coutz: Such as...?

Florencia says:
@OPS: One thousand years... give or take a couple.

Host Mage_Coutz says:
@CO/All: Please eat, relax enjoy...

EO_MacLeod says:
@CIV: I made a little improvement, while they are talking...  I have to make it several times on ME, because the several radiation levels...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@CEO: Not all that surprising, really.

CIV_Ian says:
@EO: There appears to be some sort of link between the "mages" and the planet....  notice the similarity in energy patterns?

CEO_Taylor says:
@CSO/CO: I think that all of the interference that we are getting is produced by the Mages.

CMO_OMallory says:
@::continues to treat injured beamed down::
OPS_Dain says:
@::nods at Florencia and smiles as she read her mind, trying to clear it she moves away form her.. wondering if proximity has anything to do with it::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
@CEO: But do we know how exactly they ascertain their energy? Their power?

Florencia says:
@::takes another walk around the different tables, talking with other mages and with the enlisted crew/junior officers::

CEO_Taylor says:
@CSO/CO: So get them to stop (or make them stop) and we'll be on our way...

EO_MacLeod says:
@::watches CIV comments:: CIV: No, I haven't...  Do you think that we can "cut" that link?

Florencia says:
@::shakes her head at OPS, her smile reassuring anyway::

CSO_Vortak says:
@CEO:  What is the source of the power, do you know?

Host Mage_Coutz says:
ACTION: A general feeling of well being fills the Starfleet personnel

CIV_Ian says:
@EO: Ahh, interesting.. perhaps you might download the specifics of your modifications to my computer when we return to the ship?

CEO_Taylor says:
@CO: Right now, all I can say is, "do you believe in magic sir?"
