Ganymede crew is tending to the casualties from the planet. The xo was slightly affected by contact with the orb and is being evaluated by medical.
The CEO has brought his discovery to the Captains attention, and they are plotting their next course of action.

CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::Outside the room where the orb is located. He sighs as he reads what the CMO has issued:: Self: I am sorry but I cannot follow those orders.. ::He taps his Combadge:: *CO*: Smith to Matisse.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:

CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Prowls about quarters like a caged tiger ready to be loosened.:: *MO*: What is your location? I need you to give me a once over so I can get back to work.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Might I suggest am Extra Extra large tunic.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Eyes go wide:: OPS: My chest isn't that big!...Is it?
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@*CO*: Captain, I have just read over Doctor Aria's "orders". I would like to ask if you can override them. I do not believe that her orders are valid, since we need to discover what is going on down here. ::Hears the CO over the comm. about her chest and raises an eyebrow::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  No, Ma'am, just a precaution is all I am thinking.  Just thinking ahead.
Host Phil says:
Action: What was once a scar on the Captains shoulder now appears three stars in a triangular pattern.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@::glances up from his scans offering a smile to the patient then taps his badge::*CTO* I'm currently in the triage room treating a patient with a broken arm.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*CNS*: You are in charge, if you feel that it is safe, then processed Lt.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: You don't think they will keep growing do you? What did your tricoder say
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
*CO*: Thank you Captain. I just needed your approval. ::He taps his badge again:: *MO*: Ensign, please meet me at the room where the orb is.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  At the moment, the readings are changing constantly.  It looks as if it may level off in a few minutes.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*MO*: I'll be over to see you in a short time. Ashworth out. *CO*: Captain, permission to beam over to the station to see the Doctor for a back to duty release?
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@:: extracts a hypo and protoplast from his field kit along with a sling:: *CNS* Acknowledged Counselor.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
:: Frowns:: OPS: My poor chest...my back is going to be killing me later
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::Smiles as he hears the MO respond:: *MO*: Thank you Ensign. ::He tries to mentally communicate to the "voice"::

CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Makes his way to the TL.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  I don't think so.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*MO*: I'll find you.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*CTO*: Oh yes
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::He closes his eyes:: ~~~Voice: Who is she? Please tell me. I may be able to help you.~~~
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*CO*: On my way. :: Enters the TL and goes to the nearest TR.::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
:: approaches the room flipping open his medical tricorder to scan the room as he enters it::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
*CTO*:  Just be careful over there.  It's been crazy there.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Enters the TR and has the TR Chief beam him over.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*CEO*: Can you please give me an update
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@::scans the Room's occupants offering them a smile:: ALL: Counselor?
Host Phil says:
ACTION : CTO materializes on the Planet
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Lt Ashworth beamed over successfully.  ::gets a concerned look on her face.::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::He reopens his eyes:: MO: Ensign we are going into that room one last time. I want you to scan that orb again and see what comes up.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
:: Glances at the readings on his tricorder::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Working Captain...
Host Phil says:
@<Voice>:  She is the last of the line, only she can wield the power.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Arrives on the planet and makes his way toward a room.:: *OPS*: I will.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*CEO*: What’s going on down there?
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@::nods to the counselor::CNS: Yes sir.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@MO: We will not get to close, however I want to see how it reacts when we enter. ::He moves closer to the room:: MO: Ready Ensign?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  ::Hands the CO the sword::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@*CNS/MO*: I am en route to you . @:: Begins scanning and finds them in a room not too far away. He lengthens his stride and arrives in a room with a duly glowing green orb.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Looks at the CEO:: CEO: oh, hi, didn't know you were so close...what’s this?
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@::nods and sets his tricorder to full spectrum scanns::CNS: Set.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, I believe this sword is linked to the orb
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::Hears the CTO and notices him walking. He stops him from entering the room:: CTO: I don't think you want to go in there yet. ::Smiles:: CTO: Ensign Tox will be scanning it, however we will stay a safe distance away.
Host Phil says:
@Action: The orb glows slightly brighter as he enter the reactor room.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Looks over the sword:: CEO: Where did it come from. Looks interesting, can you tell how it’s connected?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS: Aye Commander. What have we got here?:: Peeks into the room.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Sees the glow intensify a little bit.::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@:: runs a detailed sweep of the room, the orb & the vitals of himself his vermiform and those of CNS:: CNS: Marginal increase in energy signature.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  It appeared with the orb Captain, I know nothing more of it.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::still maintaining on open comm. for the away team, this time more than ever::
Host Phil says:
Action: The sword has an ornate handle with a large stone in the hilt.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::He walks into the room slowly, staying near the door as he motions for the others to do so:: CTO: Basically, we have an orb which we believe can perform a type of mind control. ::Looks at the MO:: MO: So it is reacting to us...
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CEO: Suggestions on what to so with it?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: anything from the away teams?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Not yet.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Moves in with him and copies his movements.:: CNS: Interesting, Commander.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@:: studies his readings then checks the brain wave readings of CNS and himself::CNS: One moment sir. checking our brain wave activity.:: looks at the orb and the readings
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, I'm really not an exoanthropologist, just an engineer
Host Phil says:
@Action: Scans of the orb show a slight power increase as they approach.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@CTO: This orb is dangerous. It has already turned Lieutenant Huang against us as well as causing one of the civilians here to try and kill us.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS: Is that so? MO: Any changes in alpha wave outputs from the orb or any of us?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Nods to the CEO:: CEO: thank you for bringing here.  Dismissed
Host Phil says:
Action: As the Captain holds the sword up the gem in the handle glows red and she can feel a source of power.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: get updates please..
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::He turns to the MO and awaits an answer::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  Aye.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Self: Wow...:: stands and moves the sword around::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@:: sweeps the tricorder towards the orb again:: CNS: Delta Wave activity is normal as is Alpha...Beta has a marginal flux
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
*CNS*:  Status Report.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@MO: Thank you Ensign. ::He pauses and looks around for a moment:: CTO/MO: I do not want to go closer to the orb. ::Hears the comm.:: *OPS*: We have been scanning the orb Tehya. It seems to be reacting to use as we come near it, but has yet to try and "attack" us in any way.
Host Phil says:
Action; The sword almost hums as she waves it about. She seems to almost grow in size and musculature.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS/MO: Hmmm. Just a thought. That has usually been an indicator for neural alterations.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: Isn't it beautiful....::Does a few moves with the sword::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
*CNS*:  Just be careful and don't let Kevin do anything foolish.  He will have some things to explain if he does.
Host Phil says:
@<Voice>: Only she can wield the power.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@::runs a sweep of the CNS's telepathic regions then compares them to his base lines:: CNS: Neural activity is normal in your telepathic centers.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::Smiles:: *OPS*: He won't Tehya. I promise. ::Nods:: CTO: Agreed Lieutenant. It is strange... ::Hears a voice and looks around::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Hears OPS' scold and decides to not do anything foolish unless lives are at stake.::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::sees more changes occur in the CO::  CO:  Um, Captain.  Be careful with that.  And you are changing again.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: I don't care, I feel good.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@MO: Well I keep hearing a voice.. ::Closes his eyes and tries to see if he can sense great power::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::runs a scan on the sword in the CO's hand::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Arrives in ME, sits at the CEO Console and monitors the M/ARC::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::Can sense something odd from the Captain:: *OPS*: Tehya, is everything okay up there?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@::Smiles at the CNS:: CNS: Agreed. Now what are you doing? :: Sees him move away and look distracted.::
Host Phil says:
Action: Captain feels as if she could take on anything.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@:: glances at the CSN:: CSN: You are?:: recalibrates his tricorder and runs a secondary sweep of the orb and the CSN::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@CTO/MO: I sense something strange from the Captain... ::He waits for a response::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@:: Looks at his readings:: CNS: Can you describe it?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Starts pretending to fence with her chair:: OPS: I can do anything
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::notices the power increase in the sword as it is waved about by the Captain.::   ALL:  Every time that sword is waved about, I am detecting a surge in power levels as it is being waved about.
Host Phil says:
Action: Captain lets out a scream of pain and drops to the floor.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@CTO/MO: She has some sort of great power... ::Taps his Combadge again:: *OPS*: Tehya is the Capt... ::Feels the pain from the scream and closes his eyes tightly::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::sees the Captain drop::    CO:  Captain!!!!!!
Host Phil says:
Action: She appears conscious but dazed.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Hits the floor with loud thud::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
*CNS*:  She just dropped to the floor in pain.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Grabs the CNS to steady him.:: CNS: You alright?
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@MO: Doctor, you need to report back to the Ganymede. The Captain has just dropped to the floor.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@::looks at his readings:: CNS: You okay?:: moves to pull the CSN towards the Door
Host Phil says:
Action: A flash of scenes go through her mind, She sees a Green Orb with a beam of light sweeping through a crowd and melting them away as they scream.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::Shakes the pain off:: CTO/MO: I am fine. ::Taps his Combadge:: *Ganymede*: Away Team to Ganymede. I need Ensign Tox beamed directly to the Bridge.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Tosses her head as she sees things::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
*CNS:*  All right.  ::beams the MO to the Bridge::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
@::Glances at the CSN & CTO:: *Ganymede*: One to beam directly to bridge:: nods to the CTO and hands over a tricorder:: CTO: Keep taking readings
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS: I suggest we get out of here. How did it react when you and the FCO first enter?
Host Phil says:
Action: the mental scene changes to that of a beautiful woman with flowing hair swinging a sword and charging into the fray
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
::materializes on the bridge::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Takes the tricorder and scans.::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@CTO: Something is not right with the Captain. ::He nods and walks out of the room:: CTO: Lieutenant Huang was turned against me, against his will. Then when I fired at the orb, it reflected and hit all of us.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS: Noted, Commander. No firing at the Orb.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
:: looks around the bridge then moves to the captain’s side pulling out his tricorder from the field kit:: CO: Hold still.
Host Phil says:
<Voice> : You are the last.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Moves with the CNS.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Self: Last....last what...what is all this
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
:: leans down and scans the Captain’s vitals:: All: What happened?
Host Phil says:
Action: The vision fades and the Captain regains her senses slowly, feeling slightly drained.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
MO:  Use your eyes, the Captain is going through some obvious growth changes.  Then she dropped to the floor in pain as she was wielding that sword.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Slowly feels better, and looks around::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@CTO: I am not sure if we can do anything else of use down here.. ::Looks around:: CTO: Unless we ask people if they know about the orb.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
::grimaces at the readings then over to OPS then to the Captain: CO: Captain?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
MO: Yes?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS: That would be a good place to start.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@CTO: Well then let’s take a walk. ::Smiles a bit as they start to walk, looking for some people::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
:: moves the sword out of reach of the captain:: CO: What happened?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
MO: I don't know exactly...:: looks at the sword::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS: Aye Commander. :: Moves off scanning for life signs.::
Host Phil says:
@Action:  The orb grows brighter and rise from its perch and  a green beam lashes out striking the CNS. Burning away a section of his tunic and his skin.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
::runs a sweep of the captain’s vitals and notes the Captain’s gaze on the sword:: Ops, Can you take this weapon to the armory?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  I was suggesting that you do not pick that up again.  That sword is showing power levels off the scale when it is wielded.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::Is hit by the green energy and falls to the floor in a tremendous amount of pain::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
MO:  I am not touching that thing, Doctor.
Host Phil says:
Action: The gem on the sword pulses and almost hums.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
::glances at the sword:: Ops: Can you beam to the armory?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Sits up:: Self: what now... :: looks and feels the sword::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
MO:  I will try.  ::tries to beams the sword to the armory::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Catches the CNS as he falls and sees the wound.:: *CO*: Medical emergency. The Counselor was just zapped by the Orb. Request immediate Medical assistance.
Host Phil says:
@Action: The orb spins about and fires again at the CTO, and clips his left leg leaving a trail of smoke.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
::administers a very mild sedative to the Captain with a hypo:: CO: I would like you to report to sickbay.
Host Phil says:
Action: Tran poster lock on sword fails.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: take care of that please...
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@*CO*: Add me to that list.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  I'm trying, but all transporter attempts have failed.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
MO: No no...I have to do something
Host Phil says:
Action: The Captain can feel the urge to pick up the sword .
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
::Hoist the Captain upright and away from the sword:: CO: Captain?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Stands and feels off again, and picks up the sword...again::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS: Should we move back into the room, Commander?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::does her best to stand between the Captain and sword::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::He gets up, feeling tremendous pain:: CTO: Yes... ::He starts to try and move into another room::
Host Phil says:
@Action: The orb fires a large blast at the wall of the reactor building and exits through a smoldering hole.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
OPS: Please just let me take the sword, that’s an order, I’m fine
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@:: Limps along and helps the CNS into the room.::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
:: moves the Captain towards the Turbo lift:: CO: Captain, I need you to report to the Sickbay.:: shakes his head at OPS::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@CTO: Is there.. a reason we aren't being... transported.. up..? ::Falls back to the floor::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::With all her might, pushes the MO away and go's for the sword::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
@CNS: I don't know, Commander. There must be something happening on the bridge.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CO:  With all due respect, that sword has power that we do not understand.  It caused you be in pain.  I will not be having you near it until we learn what it really is.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::He tries to stand as straight as possible as he attempts to scan the Bridge with his mind::
Host Phil says:
@Action: The orb begins firing on the  homes and buildings, forcing the civilians onto the street, designating them one by one.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
@::Notices the situation:: *OPS*: Tehya! We need out of here now!
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
::pulls out his hypo & grapples with the Captain administering a heavy sedative to the Captain:: OPS: Call Security! neural scan of the Captain ::CO: What do You 'have' to do?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::detects the firing on the planet::  *CNS*:  Right away, Chris.  ::Beams up the away team::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::nods to the MO as she calls for security::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
All: what ever! :: pushes her way and grabs the sword:: Deal with it!
Host Phil says:
Action: Sedative has no effect on the Captain she breaks from his grasp and picks up the sword.
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
::Materializes on the Ganymede:: *OPS*: Tehya I can sense that the Captain has the urgency to do something. You need to detain her somehow.
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
:: moves away from the Captain:: CO: Easy Captain, What do you have to do?:: holds up his hands passively
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::gets knocked down to the floor::  CNS:  We have tried but this thing is gaining power as time goes on.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
:: moves to a console and tries to order a transport to the orb::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Materializes on the ship and sees the well endowed and very muscular CO going for a sword.:: CO: Captain what the devil is going on?
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
::Looks at the Captain, noticing that he is on the Bridge:: Self: What the..?
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
::Waves the CTO away::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
CO: Captain.. Joey... you need to calm down!
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Moves closer.:: CO: Not without an explanation, Captain.
Host Phil says:
Action: The captain holds the sword up as she disappears from the bridge
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
::begins to feel that she has let her Captain down somehow::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
::Looks at OPS:: Captain, Can you explain what you need to do?::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Captain!:: Lunges after just a fraction of a second too late.::
MO_Ensign_Tox says:
:: glances at the shimmering effect of the escape::
CNS_LtJG_Smith says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: OPS: Tehya can you get a lock on the Captain?
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
CNS:  I'm trying, but there is nothing to lock on to.
