TO_T’rget says:
:: hums while trying to get tactical working::
OPS_Sanford says:
::On the bridge, still at the helm, trying to find a way to get through to the Captain.::
CO_Sacul says:
@ :: looks at the man :: Talosian: What attacked you?  Can you tell us?
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@::looks at Talosian  then at the captain and say quietly to her:: CO: Ma'am without a tricorder I'm not sure how to help him. Not even sure what medication to give him that wouldn't kill him.
 Talosian says:
@ ::breaths heavily:: ~~~ CO: We were not prepared for................. ::squirms in pain::    their rage. ~~~
OPS_Sanford says:
Computer:  Computer, are there any astronomical or technological devices distorting the communication frequencies from the Pharaoh to the Away Team?
Computer says:
OPS: Negative.
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian:  Whatever you have that's blocking our technology, can you disengage it?  So we can help you.
CO_Sacul says:
@ CMO:  Do your best Doctor.
 Talosian says:
@ CO/CMO: ~~~ We....  are not physically.....  injured ~~~
OPS_Sanford says:
::Scratches his head.::  Self:  It must be Talos... why would our ship not be working.
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian:  What do you mean?
 Talosian says:
@ ::closes eyes and breathes heavily::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@CO: Aye ma'am ::then looks at Talosian:: Talosian: Then how can I help you?
OPS_Sanford says:
::Turns to the Tactical Officer on duty.::  T'rget:  Any luck Ensign?
 Talosian says:
@ ~~~ CO/CMO: We........   were........... ::shivers:: being attacked.....  in........  ~~~
 Talosian says:
@ :: opens his mouth and lets out a soundless scream::
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian:  Are there others of you?
TO_T’rget says:
OPS: Yes Sir.....................   all bad.... I have nothing.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@Talosian: Is there a computer our something that could display this information so you can rest?
OPS_Sanford says:
::Gets up and moves to the Tactical Officer.::  TO:  Are the probes at least functional?
 Talosian says:
@ ~~~ CO/CMO: We are occupied... trying to keep them.....   away.....   need time.... to explain..... they are....  needing.... more....  ~~~
CO_Sacul says:
@ :: looks around the room to see if there is any reason that the man should be screaming. ::
 TO_T’rget says:
OPS: Computer says they are.... but when we try to launch.....    nothing happens Sir.
OPS_Sanford says:
TO:  They just shut down?
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian:  Without our technology, I don't know how much we can help you.  Unless you have anything that could help us help you.
 Talosian says:
@ ::takes a deep breath:: ~~~CO/CMO: You may know them... as Excalibians.... they.....   or some of them..... doing this to us..... ~~~
TO_T’rget says:
::shrugs:: OPS: I don't know Sir....  just nothing happens.
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian:  How are you keeping them away?
OPS_Sanford says:
TO:  Are we able to monitor the probe from the ship or do our sensors return negative?
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@CO: Ma'am do you know any information on the Excalibians?
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@CO: The name sound familiar but I'm not sure from where.
CO_Sacul says:
@ CMO:  I've heard that name before, but, only in passing.  I'm not familiar with the species, if that's what they are.
 Talosian says:
@  ~~~CO/CMO: They.... are here....   on Talos.... we needed to mask your arrival.... keep your technology... offline.... until we explained. ~~~
TO_T’rget says:
::shrugs:: OPS: Just nothing happens... it does not launch   ::shakes head::
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian: I see.  We will help you, if we can.
OPS_Sanford says:
TO:  If we load the probe in the shuttle bay, could we control the probe remotely outside of the ship?
TO_T’rget says:
::opens mouth and looks pensive:: OPS: Beats me Sir.
 Talosian says:
@  ~~~CO/CMO: We.... will allow you to contact your vessel... return and find them.... but be careful .... we cannot protect you for long.... we must protect ourselves. ~~~
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian:  I understand.
TO_T’rget says:
OPS: SIR !   I have a open COM frequency !!!
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian:  Will you be safe here?
OPS_Sanford says:
TO:  Origin.
TO_T’rget says:
OPS: I here the Captain's voice Sir !
OPS_Sanford says:
TO:  Can we talk to them?
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@CO: Okay captain how do we help?
TO_T’rget says:
*CO*: Captain... this is the Pharaoh... do you read?
CO_Sacul says:
@ Talosian:  We can transfer you to our ship.
 Talosian says:
@  ~~~CO/CMO: Leave.... we will..............   survive.... concentrate... on them. ~~~
CO_Sacul says:
@ :: looks up at the TO's voice :: *TO*  Yes, we can hear you.
TO_T’rget says:
OPS: Ummmm... Yes Sir.... we can.
OPS_Sanford says:
*CO*:  Captain it's nice to hear your voice.  What is your status?
CO_Sacul says:
@ :: touches the mans hand :: Talosian:  We will.  We will do what we can.
CO_Sacul says:
@*OPS*  We are safe.  Lock onto the away team and beam us up.  Start looking up Excalbians.  We are looking at having to face them.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Turns to the Tactical Officer.:: TO:  Find out why we were suddenly able to break though to them.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@::puts his gear back in the medpack::
TO_T’rget says:
OPS: Transporter room says they have a lock Sir.
OPS_Sanford says:
*CO*:  Yes Captain.  ::Goes over to the Operations Station.:: TO:  Have them beam up the away team.  ::Brings up information about the Excalibians.::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@::slings the pack on his shoulder and stands near Sacul::
CO_Sacul says:
@ :: before the transporter takes them away :: Talosian:  I promise we'll be back.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
@::looks at Talosian wish he could have done more to help::

ACTION: The CMO and CO and security team are transported back to the Pharaoh.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Make certain the transport was a success.::
TO_T’rget says:
OPS: Transporter room says they have them all Sir.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::looks around and then steps off the transporter pad::
CO_Sacul says:
:: steps off the transporter padd and heads to the bridge ::
OPS_Sanford says:
TO:  Good.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Quickly starts reading up on the Excalbians.::
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Doctor, look up the biology of the Excalbians and see if there is any effective way to neutralize them.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Without killing them.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Aye captain ::exits the transporter room and heads back to sickbay::
CO_Sacul says:
:: enters the bridge ::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Downloads the information to a PADD and stands up.::  Aloud:  Captain on the bridge.
CO_Sacul says:
:: waves her hand :: OPS:  As you were.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::puts the medpack down and goes into his office. pulls up any medical information on the Excalbians::
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Alright Mister Sanford, what are we looking at?
OPS_Sanford says:
::Grabs the PADD and walks over to give it to the Captain.::  CO:  I downloaded the data from the computer about the Excalbians to this PADD.  It seems that they enjoy using life-forms as experiments.
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  They are also able to alter the shapes of their bodies in whichever way they wish.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::reads through the information and taps his combadge::*CO*: Ma'am I have the information you asked for
CO_Sacul says:
:: takes the padd and shakes her head. :: OPS:  Apparently, they are down there on that planet.
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Are they posing as anyone specific?
CO_Sacul says:
*CMO*  Come to the bridge Doctor.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Unknown.  Once we know, perhaps we can scan for them.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
*CO*: On my way captain ::downloads the file to a PADD and makes his way to the bridge::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods.::  CO:  Knowing the Talosians' power ma'am, we should consider the Excalbians extremely dangerous.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::enters the bridge and goes up to the captains chair::
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Definitely.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Captain here the information ::hands the PADD over::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Ma'am this species is a rock-based lifeform but they have the ability to shapeshift into other forms.
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  As for the ship ma'am, we've still been unable to repair some of the problems to the ship.  I don’t' even know why the communications systems started working again.  I have Ensign T'rget investigating the matter now.  And Lieutenant Rydyll is on the ship's hull investigating a theory she had.
CO_Sacul says:
:: looks at the PADD :: OPS:  I believe you will find that everything will work perfectly now Mister Sanford.
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  The Talosians?
CO_Sacul says:
:: nods :: OPS:  Yes.
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  How were they able to neutralize our systems so easily?
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  They are being attacked by the Excalbians.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: I have heard of a device that has stop the shapeshifter from the gamma quadrant from change for. May it could have some effect on them.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  I'm not certain, but, I hope we will find out.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Ahhh, I know what your talking about.  I haven't actually seen one myself, but I did read up on it.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods at the Captain.::
CO_Sacul says:
OPS: Try scanning the planet, see if we have some kind of bio-signature from the first encounter with them.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::take a seat at the science station::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Turns and goes to his station, beginning a scan on the planet for any sign of the Excalbians.::
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Or odd rock elements since we don't know what the sensor would read them as.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  I don't know either, but, let's just see what sensors tell us.
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, I’m getting strange readings in the south east region of the planet.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  What is it?
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::pulls up the scans on the region on the science console::
CO_Sacul says:
:: stands to look over Sanford’s shoulder ::
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  The molten rock in that location does not share the same geological makeup as the other rocks on the surface.  ::Checks the file.::  The readings are similar to what Commander Spock found on the Enterprise many years ago.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  That's what we are looking for.  Now, what to do about it.
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  If we go down to the planet, we may become trapped in one of their experiments.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Doctor, do you think you could recreate the device we spoke of earlier?
CO_Sacul says:
OPS: Agreed.  But, we may not have a choice.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
CO: Not sure captain maybe with the CEO help and Dr. Bashir report.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Make it so.
CMO_Ens_Balena says:
::nods at the CO and stands up and makes his way to engineering::
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Shall I contact Lieutenant Rydyll and have her return inside?
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Did you get any life readings other than the rock?
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Make it so.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and goes over to his station to contact the Chief Engineer.::
CO_Sacul says:
:: goes and sits in her chair ::

ACTION: The chair squeaks.
