@*CSO* Stidd did you say "rock creature"?

CTO T'Rel says:
::on the bridge @ TAC 1::

Capt McPhee says:
Helm: Helm, be ready to get us out of here.

CSO Stidd says:
*XO*: Confirmed, sir.  Are you at a place where I may speak freely?

Capt McPhee says:
<Helm>McPhee: Aye, sir. Escape course plotted.

Host Survivors says:
ACTION: As the FCO approaches the survivors, she screams in pain and falls to the ground.

CEO Irvin says:
@ All: Whoa.....

Capt McPhee says:
::nervously taps his baton on the chair's arm:: CSO: Stidd, what's going on down there. Let's just beam them up and leave orbit!

XO Starks says:
@FCO: Qwynn! ::runs to the FCO::

CEO Irvin says:
@ ::jogs over::

CEO Irvin says:
@ ::scans::

CSO Stidd says:
*XO*: I seem to remember something similar occurring to Spock when he was the CSO on the Enterprise.  There was a rock creature that was testing between good and evil.  I would be careful around the survivors until we are certain that they are who they appear to be.

XO Starks says:
:: kneels by the FCO:: FCO: Lt.!

CEO Irvin says:
@ XO: Psionic shock if I read this right Commander....

CEO Irvin says:
@ XO: we need to get her back to the ship NOW.

Capt McPhee says:
<TR Chief>CO: Sir, I can't. Something is scrambling the annular confinement beam.

Host Survivors says:

CEO Irvin says:
@ *TR Chief *: This is Ensign Irvin.... Boost the Mavigade on the 0 niner 7.... Reinitialize and energize!

CNS Janan says:

CNS Janan says:
::exits the TL and glances around the bridge::

CSO Stidd says:
*CEO*: Say again, I didn't get your full message.

CEO Irvin says:
@ ::walks over close to the XO and calmly says:: XO: Perhaps we should go with them.....

XO Starks says:
:: Looks between the CTO CSO and CNS and frowns:: ALL: such hostility cannot be allowed on a blessed day as this

Host Rhool says:
ACTION: The starbase comes into SRS range and a look of glee passes over Rhool's face.

CSO Stidd says:
::Looks back to Rhool:: Rhool: I will do all that is in my power to stop you, as is my duty as an Officer of Star Fleet.

CEO Irvin says:
::turns to the screen:: All: We approach the station Master Rhool....

CNS Janan says:
CSO: We can't go to the Starbase, he ::gestures to Rhool:: said he gains power when he gains followers.

Host Rhool says:
~~~CSO: You have no power over me fool!~~~

CNS Janan says:
::Glares at Rhool:: Rhool: Why are you doing this? You want peace yet you have only shown us force and violence.

Host Rhool says:
ACTION: Rhool’s motion causes the CTO to miss, then with a glance she to flies across the bridge

CSO Stidd says:
::Gets up off the ground, shaken but otherwise unharmed, Draws his phaser and fire as well at Rhool::

CNS Janan says:
::Looking past the XO she is ignoring him now::

XO Starks says:
CNS Janan: please be quite, I don't want the master to have to punish you too

CEO Irvin says:

Host Rhool says:
ACTION: Rhool disappears as the CSO’s phaser strikes only air

CNS Janan says:

XO: It is natural to be afraid of violence and I can't understand how someone like that wants peace.

Host Rhool says:
~~~ CSO: You will die slowly~~~

CTO TRel says:
::grabs phaser and fires at the kill setting at Rhool::

CNS Janan says:
::turns:: ~~~ Rhool: Why are you doing this? ~~~

XO Starks says:
:: Moves to OPS station:: *COM starbase* this is commander Starks on the Pharaoh we'll need emergency docking procedure as soon as we're in range

CEO Irvin says:
::turns and walks towards Stidd placing hand on his shoulder:: Stidd: You shouldn't resist Stidd. It is useless to resist....
