3 days later… 3 days of hot and humid weather, 3 days off trying to live of the lands, 3 days trying to avoid the natives that seem to want them gone and dead, 3 days to think of what had just happened, what to do next, and if they will ever find a way back home.
We now rejoin the Ganymede crew nearing the end of the 3rd day.  The crew is still split in to groups picked days before.  Group one consisting of the CMO, SO, CEO, and lead by the second officer.
The second group consisting of the CNS, OPS, and the EO.  During the night of there second stay, the FCO, and CSO had mysteriously disappeared with out a trace.
Finding himself in a tree, the XO tries to find his crew.  Following a rough trail, what will he find? What path did he take, the one to his crew, or the one that will lead him straight for the natives? Only time will tell…Mhahahaha
<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::Is with the rest of his crewmembers wondering what to do next::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks around her, wondering where the FCO and CSO wondered off this time, she hopes they went to find the XO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
#::pushes his way through the woods, following what appears to be a trail, pushing back branches and stepping over roots, hoping to find the crew soon::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Keeping an eye out for unwelcome intruders. ::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He gets up from the tree he is sitting at and tries to see if he can sense anyone::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Continues with his portion of the away team looking for defensible shelter.::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@::Near their temporary shelter. Alezka reaches out with his mind slowly, trying to make contact with his friend Dandin - unable to locate him. With a sigh, he grabs a small handful of water and sips it slowly::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Creeps through the brush shadowing the visitors::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Appearing rather sunburnt and looking ragged.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CNS/EO:   Have you two seen the Eiluj and Esso?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
OPS: So what should we do Commander? ::He looks over at Tehya as he continues trying to sense a member of the crew:: OPS: I have not since yesterday.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: While he is moving he gets a feeling of being followed and he gets that coldish feeling on the back of his neck.::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@CTO: Lt, we need to find a more permanent shelter.  This place to place barely making it is taking its toll on us all.
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: With the day coming to an end, it starts to get dark, and cool down.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
#::Hears some voices and heads toward them cautiously, spotting that they belong to the OPS and CNS::  OPS/CNS: You two are a welcome sight, I was beginning to think I was the only one stuck here.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CMO: Agreed Lt.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Opens his eyes, and looks around, noting that the FCO and CSO are gone - apparently his hope of staying awake didn't do much good.:: OPS: Not since...I can't remember when. Yesterday, I think.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::jumps a mile high when she hears the XO coming from behind her::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He notices the XO appear and smiles:: XO: Finally we find someone else, Commander.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Steps out of the dense jungle in front of the group::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
OPS: My apologies Commander, didn't mean to startle you.  Where are all the others?
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Turns to see the Commander and Executive Officer come upon the group:: XO: What happened to you?
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: The XO's uniform is all cut up and he is a scratches from his trek in the woods
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Eiluj and Jara are nowhere to be seen.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::Grins::  EO: Took the scenic route?  ::shrugs::  I woke up in a tree, I suppose we could say I got lost.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Sees the Native and comes to an abrupt halt holding his stick in the least threatening manner he can.:: All: Halt now!
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Stands cautiously looking at the native.:: CTO: lt.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
XO: And the other senior staff has split up from the rest of us. We all ran away from a group of savages. ::He looks at his bandaged hand::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  I am still puzzled to how we got here and why.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
OPS: If this situation weren't more real, I'd say they meant it to be that way...
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@::He looks around at the rest of his team and then turns to notice the native in front of him and his team. Staying silent, he does his best to project calming thoughts and emotions::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Stops, looks at the CTO. ::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO: The last thing I remember before arriving here was being on the Gany.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@CTO: Let me try to communicate with him, Please...
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: Are you all right?  ::looking questioningly at his hand::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Stands in front of them holding a long spear, and trying to get something across to them, seeming rather urgent::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
XO: Oh yes fine. I was just attacked by one of the members living on this planet.. or whatever we are on, sir.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CMO: It's worth a shot. You see how he reacts to male presences.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Points to the jungle behind him and then to the jungle at their left::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Looks around, hoping to find a clue as to where the FCO and CSO went:: XO: Well, we have a new arrival, but are now missing two others....
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@Kitch: What is it?  ::Smooth calm voice.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::nods::  CNS: It's always nice to get a warm welcome.  OPS: Have we got a place to bed down for the evening, as much as I worry about the other two, looking for them in the dark won't do us any good.
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: with the end of the day a pone them, the 2nd team hears a slight humming
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Steps back and starts to raise his spear, but pauses and repeats the gesture::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Makes a confused face:: Self: What's that noise?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He notices that darkness begins to fall. He also hears the humming and looks around for a moment::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Moves into a non threatening position behind the CMO trying to get the point of "will defend if necessary" across.::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Stands in front of Kitch and points to behind him, shrugs her shoulders.:: Kitch: What?
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Takes a step closer to the CMO and gestures to the jungle at their left::
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: the humming is getting closer, and seems to be coming from above them
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  We make do with what got here in the woods.  ::starts to hear a slight humming from what appears to be all around them::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@CMO: Perhaps he is trying to warn us of some incoming danger...or perhaps he wishes us to follow him...ma'am...::Tries his best to interpret the gestures - however primitive they seem::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Raises his spear slightly as the CTO moves::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@Kitch: What is over there.  :: Gestures to the left.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Stops.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He hears the humming come closer and then looks up into the sky:: Self: Interesting..
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
All: I don't suppose anyone with a tricorder, or a flashlight could tell me what that noise is...?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@CTO: Easy Lt.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Nothing at all.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: We have no supplies, sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
All: Then I suggest we take cover until we find out.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
XO: We lost our tricorders, phaser and all else besides uniforms and combadge.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Takes a step toward the left, then two, keeping an eye on Kitch.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CMO: You seems to have it in hand Lt. Just being cautious.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Taps his badge:: XO: And I haven't been able to make this work at all yet.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Points behind him again and to the left and speaks while stepping toward the jungle::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Steps to where Kitch steps.:: Kitch: Do you want us to follow you?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He looks back up in the sky wondering what is making that noise::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@CMO: Perhaps we should go to where he's pointing and see how he reacts?
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::spots in the limited light some low trees whose branches form a slightly protective canopy::  All: Let's get under there, we're too exposed out in the open.
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: A swarm of large mosquitoes descends upon the away team, searching for what they feed upon...blood
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Stepping further toward the groups left he repeats the same words::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@::Watches the native curiously and speaks softly:: CTO: Lieutenant, if this native is friendly, we may wish to follow him...it may be our best chance at survival...
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::swats at the mosquitoes as he realizes his thinking was just a bit too slow::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Follows the same steps.:: Kitch: Fol-low.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@All: I think we should give this a try.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He then notices that they are large mosquitoes and tries to move where shelter is. He hits some as they come closer to him::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@SO/CEO: Let's follow. Discreetly gentlemen.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::sees the mosquitoes as the come toward her::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
All: The fire, grab a burning stick, it should keep them at bay!  ::pulls a stick from the fire and hopes it stays lit as he swings it at the swarm::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He does like the XO does and grabs a burning stick. He swats some of them as they come close to it::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@CTO: After you, sir?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::grabs a burning stick and waves it in the way of the creatures::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Suddenly become very excited as the sound of footsteps can be heard a short distance away::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Begins to move with the CMO and Kitch.::
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: the mosquitoes manage to bite everyone on the away team at less once as they try to defend themselves
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Makes a downward motion with his hands as the sounds grow closer::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Picks up a rock and hopes to hit a few of the bugs with it. He tosses it towards them::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He feels one bite him but ignores it as he keeps swatting::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::points for the shelter he spotted earlier and runs for it, using the stick to wave a clear path::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::In a soft voice.:: Kitch/All: Down?  ::Motions down and begins to crouch.::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Moves to the cover of the undergrowth and outs his hand over his mouth where the group can see::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::feels one bite her on the upper right arm, she swats it away then waves the stick some more::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@All: Sh.  ::Puts her finger to her lips.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He moves to where the XO is and continues to swat::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Crouches next to Kitch.::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Slaps the side of his neck from a bite, then proceeds to grab a stick from the fire and runs for shelter::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Fearing the worst he starts to kneel keeping an eye on the undergrowth.::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Crouches, looking to see if he can see anything ahead. ::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::follows the XO while fighting the mosquitoes with the burning stick::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::motions for the others to follow and coughs on the smoke generated from his stick as it sears his throat, but hoping that the concentrated smoke will make the cover safe::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@Action: A group of 4 or 5 natives pass within a few yards of  the group talking in an unknown tongue.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@::Nods to the Medic and the Tactical Specialist, moving very slowly and following the remainder of his team - doing his best to stay out of sight and remain non-threatening::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He begins to feel strange from the bite:: All: I can stop them.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Holds his breath as the natives pass.::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Watches as the natives pass, and moves so to see that they are not discovered.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Listens trying to discern a pattern in the speech.::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Feels strange, almost like he has the Zanthi Fever again - a headache and a little dizzy:: CNS: What's that supposed to mean? You think none of us can handle this?
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Waits where she is until Kitch motions for them to.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He thinks for a moment:: EO: I don't know.. it just came out. ::he stays with the others::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Listens for the groups to pass. ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::coughs at the smoke and feels his internal temperature rise, brushing it off to the heat generated by the individual fires::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Slowly stands and continues to watch in the direction of the natives, and then slowly rises, repeating the gesture toward the jungle.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He notices the rest of the team trying to do what they can. He looks around again thinking about everything::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Stands slowly.:: Kitch: Thank-you, let's go.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::blurred images begin to form in the haze of the smoke, but at least the mosquitos have ceased their attack::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Looks as the XO coughs, feeling it's a derisive cough to comment on his inability to keep the mosquitoes away. He sneers, but says nothing::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@ALL: Well?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS:  If you didn't know what you were saying then should have kept quiet.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Moves ahead of the group cautiously at first and then a little faster, looking back to see if they follow::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He looks at OPS:: OPS: Silence! Do not speak to me in that tone!
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Follows Kitch.:: Kitch: We are coming.
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: the bugs leave the group, off looking for easier pray
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::starts as something moves in the periphery of his vision::  All: What was that?!
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CNS:  Don't tell me what to do, Lt.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Rises and follows again.::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Hugs his legs tightly:: All: The bugs are gonna come back and get me....
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Look to the CTO, SO, CMO. ::  All: I suppose we're going to follow?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  What was what?
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He ignores the Commander and leaves the shelter area.. not that far from it::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Nearly jumps as the XO yells:: All: It's them again! Or the inhabitants!!
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@All: Let's follow him. He got us out of this spot.
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::sees it again, this time more formed, it looks humanoid, but demonic somehow::  OPS: There!! There it is again, don't let it get me.  ::backs away in fear::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@CEO: I do not see any other logical recourse, he apparently helped us there.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He looks at the XO:: XO: Stop acting like a child! ::he adds collecting himself:: XO: ..sir.
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@CTO: Aye, sir.
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: the sound of thunder rips though the jungle, and lightening can be seen through the thick forest canopy
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Nothing will get you.  Get a hold of yourself, you are in command of this team, so command us to do something useful for a change.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@Action : After about a  20 minute walk, Kitch_, ducks into the brush and can't be seen in the darkening Jungle::
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@CMO: I agree. I'm tired of running, I hope he's got shelter for us.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@::Nods and moves off from his concealed location, moving slowly and doing his best not to make too much noise or disturb the natives they are following behind::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
OPS: He is not useful! We should leave him! We need strong members! ::he says in a deeper voice::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@::Pauses as the native Kitch stops. Not sure what to do, he goes down into the brush slowly, looking for Ashworth and wondering what his orders are::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CNS:  You keep quiet.  You are not in command, he is.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Follows Kitch up to the shrubbery and waits.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: You...you don't see them do you,  or else you'd understand.  ::now there is two of them, their faces even clearer as large incisors are visible::  OPS: Kill them, get rid of them, make them go away...::points in the direction of the CNS and EO at the imaginary beings::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
Self: Next, they're going to get rid of me too...All they want is to make first contact with this species, and get all the glory.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@Action: KItch, pokes his head out of the jungle and mutters another unfamiliar word and motions for them to follow
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
OPS: Well then I should be! ::He looks at the XO as he asks him his question::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@All: Let's follow him, carefully. :: Moves into the brush.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  I see nothing.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Ducks into the brush.::  Kitch: OK.... All: This way..
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Takes one final look behind and then follows the crew/Kitch into the brush. ::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Begins to hyperventilate:: OPS: It's not me! It's them! You! Not me.... ::Hugs his arms around his body::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::tries to ignore the thunder and lightning::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: No no....you're...you're one of them, as the Counsellor’s image blurs into some horrid monster!  Stay away, don't come any closer.  ::picks up a sharp rock at his feet and backs up::  OPS: You, you're lying, you must see them, they're right there!  ::has intense fear in his eyes::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
XO: You little child! How dare you call me a monster! You should be bowing down to me, giving me gifts! ::He moves closer to the XO::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Moves back to the SO noticing his extreme caution.:: SO: Something the matter?
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@Action: The group almost crawls through a dark passage,  for what seems like an eternity, but the emerge into a small cave, Large enough to hold several people, A fire is burning inside, The smoke drifting up toward an unseen ceiling
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::looks to in the direction the XO is pointing at::  XO:  Sir, I see NOTHING, do you hear me, NOT a single solitary thing.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Comes into the opening.:: All: Shelter....... Kitch: Thank-you. ::Bows head.::
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: the storm seems to be moving close, the thunder is louder, and the 2nd team  feels a few spits of water
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Looks around the area before entering the cave.::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@::As he crawls out from the tunnel, the light hits him and he notices a burning flame. Fire, shelter...safety. Perhaps these natives aren't primitive and aggressive after all:: Self: Impressive for a stone age society...
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::brandishes the rock in his hand::  CNS: Don't move, don't come any closer.  OPS: What about him, you see him don't you...you may not see what he truly is, but we must kill him, before he kills us...before he brings the others.  ::looks around in fear as many pairs of eyes line the woods::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
OPS: He is obviously turning to the dark side! We must not allow this! We must bring him into shelter and force him to worship me!
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Enters the cave, looking around for other natives. ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
OPS: Oh god...it's too late, they're here...they're here, and we're going to die.  ::bolts in the opposite direction, letting out a scream of terror::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Decides to try something.::  Kitch: Ar-ia.  ::Points to herself and repeats it several times.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Of course, I see things, I see us as we are. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Steps in muttering again and gesturing to a pile of jungle leaves that appear to be seating::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
All: Ah yes, rain, lightning, and thunder! The power is getting stronger! ::He moves closer to the XO:: XO: How dare you order me around! That is punishable by death!
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
CNS: The dark side? Ha! It's all of you that are going crazy. ::Makes an insane face to punctuate the insanity::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  Get back here, I'm not done talking to you.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Turns his head to the side as CMO speaks::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::trips and falls as he runs away, hitting his head on an exposed root and losing the rock as he tumbles::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@::Kneels down on the leaves still holding CMO's gaze::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Repeats her gesture.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
OPS/EO: He is a fool! Who cares about him! Let him die!!! He is of no help anyway! Now I say let us go and find a temple!
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Looks around, petrified with fear, thinking about the XO's comments:: Self: They're here? Oh no, they're here for me. They're listening. The thunder is really them coming to get me!
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: the XO hits his head hard, and has a gash on his forehead
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::his eyes cloud over with pain, as tears well up, blood trickles from a fresh wound on his forehead and he manages to turn over on his back::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@Kneels down on the leaves.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Moves in and sits on the leaves.:: All: We need to find out if he has seen the others.
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Arrrrrrrr... EAH.......:: Glances at the others and back to her::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::cries out and shields his eyes from the visions, hoping it will make them go away::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
Self: Muahahaha! I feel the power! ::He takes the things off of his fingers and looks around:: Self: Foolish humans.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CNS:  No, we are going to get him and make sure he is all right.  Then we will find shelter out of this rain.
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Nods her head yes to Kitch and smiles.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
OPS: I called the rain! We will not hide from it! It will cleanse your souls!
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Kneels down, trying to mimic Kitch's stance. ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::shivers and curls himself up in a protective form, whimpering and muttering about the things out to get him::
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Clutches his rock and his sharpened stick/whip:: Self: I'll get them if they come for me...they're all going to get me.... ::Cringes as thunder booms::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Points to the CTO.:: Kitch: Ash-worth.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Watches the interplay between the CMO and Kitch. He hears his name and points to his chest.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He notices the EO with the rock:: EO: Yes create weapons so you can become the leader of my worshipers! ::He laughs::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Suddenly has a surprised look on his face and almost jumps to his feet, and grabs a  bag made of some sort of animal hide and moves back to the group::
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@::Watches the native curiously:: Self: Fascinating creature...
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CNS:  What are you talking about?   ::pauses a moment::  CNS:  Well, if you are not going to help me help the XO, I am going myself. ::marches off to assist the XO::
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: Even with 4 broken fingers, the CNS seems to be able to handle the pain as he uses it
CEO_Lt_Mash`ev says:
@:: Watches Kitch as he jumps up and moves around the cave. ::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Looks at Kitch the bag and motions to it.::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He watches the OPS leave:: OPS: You are a fool!! The lightning will strike you down for disobeying me!
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Watches cautiously as the native grabs a bag and brings it to the group.::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Reaches into the bag and takes out what appears to be food and takes a bite, and then holds the bag out to Aria::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::cringes at the OPS's approach and tries to crawl away, whimpering::  No...No, please, don't hurt me.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He picks up a large stick:: Self: My septor will help me strike down that traitor! ::he waves it::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Reaches in and takes a piece out.:: Kitch: Fo-od, ::Holds it up.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
XO:  It's me Cmdr Ashworth, be still.  I am not going to hurt you.
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He then begins to chant as he waves the stick::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::cringes at her closeness, as he tries to blink and focus...some part of him knowing the voice, but the other part seeing the evil in front of him::
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@Action: Aria holds up a  group of dried grubs from the bag.
SO_Ens_Alezka says:
@Self: A storage method...primitive but effective. ::Smiles to himself as he watches and studies Kitch before them, making mental notes for his report - if they get back to the Ganymede that is::
CMO_Lt_Aria says:
@::Tentatively takes a bite.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::tears off a part of her slacks as to treat the gash in the XO's forehead::
CNS_Lt_Smith says:
::He then walks down to where the XO and OPS are:: XO/OPS: I need you two at my temple at once!
Host Kitch_Lti_kipi says:
@:: Smiles and grunts as Aria eats his food::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
::a blurred image of Cmdr. Ashworth makes it through to his addled brain, long enough to allow her to wrap his wound...but that all comes undone at the sight of Lt Smith::
Host Mad_Hatter says:
Action: the EO's stick is nice and sharp
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CNS:  Quiet, you idiot, can't you see he is hurt.  I'm treating his injuries.
EO_LtJG_Lai says:
::Thinks the CNS is acting very weird, and then realizes it's because he's been inhabited by another form - it's one of them! He clutches his stick in defence::
Host XO_Cmdr_Mordane says:
CNS: No!  You're going to sacrifice me!  Stay away, don't hurt me!!
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
