FCO_Baptiste says:
::Seated at the Flight Control Station ::

CNS_Richardson says:
::In Sickbay, having just arrived there with the CMO::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Standing at the tactical station on the Bridge, recording ship's logs onto a PADD for later evaluation::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::On the Bridge, in the Big Chair waiting for the XO to hurry it up::

CSO_Raal says:
::Leads Retranthian delegation to the Bridge after the tour::

OPS_Owens says:
::Adjusting the deflector to act as a sonar dish for continued communications with the Retranth::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Glad he doesn't have to stand as the CTO does::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::On his way to the Bridge with the Retranthians after the tour::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Has Tari sit down on the biobed::  CNS: Okay, Tari, tell me exactly what you remember from the moment you came into the lounge?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Looks around, and moves over to a biobed:: CMO: Well, I suppose we should get this over with; tempest in a teapot, if you ask me.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Begins to run a scan on her::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Alien craft is about 500 meters away.

Host Tridor says:
::With the XO en route to the Bridge::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Tridor: You will see there is nothing to be afraid of.  Our transporter technology is quite safe.  ::Smiles::

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: The Retranth alien craft, having gotten word to leave, detaches from the Paula Greene and moves off.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
CNS: Tempest is when there is a storm.  I am hoping this is nothing like that.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Considers a moment:: CMO: In the lounge? After we delivered our guests to the Lounge, the meeting got underway; Ryan and I were serving refreshments, nothing out of the ordinary that I recall.  ::Shrugs::

Host Tridor says:
XO: I have yet to understand it but I guess we learn by trying, no?

CMO_Amendoreira says:
CNS: Tari, you don't remember 'poking' the delegate or the CTO?

CNS_Richardson says:
CMO: ::Looks taken aback:: CMO: Poking? I would never.  Interesting, though, did you see what their uniforms did?  That flashing thing?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::As the turbolift doors, open, he steps out::

CSO_Raal says:
::Follows everyone out of turbolift::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Tridor: Indeed.  You will see it is an easier way of transportation.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Notes the entrance of the XO and those accompanying ::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks up as the XO exits the turbolift with Tridor and the two assistants.  Nods::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Stands up as he hears the turbolift doors open and turns to the delegation::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Looks at her readings noting a higher level of neuron activity then the moment merited::

OPS_Owens says:
::Notes the arrival of the Retranthians giving one a curt grin::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Steps up to the Captain:: CO: Sir, we're on our way down but Tridor insisted on coming to say goodbye to you.  ::Step aside::

Host Tridor says:
::Walks up, and holds out hand:: CO: Captain Cromwell, might I say it was a pleasure to meet you.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
CNS: I noted you poke one of the flowers.  ::Slight grin::  But then you poked the CTO who was not exactly happy about either situation.

CSO_Raal says:
::Watches as the pleasantries are exchanged before departure::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Nods at the XO:: Very well.  ::Turns to Tridor::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Watches the aliens with the Captain::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Tridor: I regret that we didn't get more time to speak.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Laughs:: CMO: I would never in a thousand years do such a thing as poke Ryan, she's likely to floor me!

Host Tridor says:
CO: I'm sure that in our further dealings with your Federation, there will be much talking.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Takes Tridor’s hand and shakes it::

Host Tridor says:
::Shakes hand with the Captain and smiles::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Moves to the CTO and CSO:: CSO/CTO: Gentleman, please meet me in Transporter Room 1.  We're going down to the planet.

OPS_Owens says:
::Thinks the CO almost wishes the afore mentioned war with the Romulans was current so he could relive his holodeck adventures for real::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Tridor: Indeed.  I have no doubt we shall become fast friends.

CSO_Raal says:
XO: You don't have to ask me twice.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
CNS: That is my point.  ::Grins back at her briefly::  But the point is, you did do it and don't remember.  I am also picking up some unusual activity on your part.

CTO_Ryan says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sets the PADD on the console and signals to the relief tactical officer to take over tactical.  Walks into the turbolift and waits for the others to enter::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Notices how the fabric of their uniforms seems to shimmer at times as they expressed and repressed their emotions::

Host Tridor says:
::Nods:: CO: Indeed. ::Steps back::  XO: I am ready to proceed to the surface.  From what I understand of your transporter system, you need coordinates?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CMO* Doctor, could you meet me in Transporter Room 1 for Away team duty?

OPS_Owens says:
::Curiously wonders how the counselor and the engineer are feeling::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Nods at Tridor:: Yes, we need to know exactly where we are going.  Wouldn't want to materialize inside a wall or something of the kind.

CSO_Raal says:
::Enters turbolift::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Taps fingers rapidly in an annoying little drum against the side of the biobed:: CMO: Well, I'm anxious to get back to duty.  Let's get this over with.

Host Tridor says:
XO: Whom would I give these coordinates to?  ::As he and his aides enter into the turbolift::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Looks at the CNS::  CNS: Hmm...looks like I am needed elsewhere.  I am going to have Angel run some tests on you then you can go.  All right?

CMO_Amendoreira says:
*XO* I will join you in a moment.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Gets pushed back against the wall at the rear of the turbolift::

CNS_Richardson says:
CMO: Of course, I know I'm in good hands with Angel.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Enters turbolift:: Tridor: To our Transporter Chief.  He's the one beaming us down. 

Host Tridor says:
::Nods:: XO: Ah.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Smiles and waves Angel over::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Watches as Angel approaches::

CNS_Richardson says:
<Angel>: Let's get this over and done with. I want to get back to work.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Tridor: I am quite looking forward to seeing your Observatory of Truth... ::Smiles::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Turns to oversee the rest of the crew.  Notes that the CIV is not there::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Scrunches her shoulders in attempting to make more room for the guests::

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: Standard orbit.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Checks the current roster and notes that he is not on it.  Checks with Quartermaster Clark::

MO_Angel says:
::Walks over to the doctor and briefly discusses with her what is going on::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::The turbolift doors open and he heads out to Transporter Room 1::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Smiles at Tari then grabbing a medical kit, hurries to Transporter Room 1::

Host Tridor says:
::Enters into Transporter Room One, proceeds over and tells the coordinates to the person he believes to be the Transporter Operator::

FCO_Baptiste says:
<Quartermaster Clark> CO: He is busy supervising the cleaning crews, Decks 21-35.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Falls forward slightly as everyone exits the turbolift.  Walks behind everyone to Transporter Room 1::

CSO_Raal says:
::Takes position on pad::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Steps up on the pad::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Frowns suddenly, as Angel approaches::

MO_Angel says:
::Looks at the counselors data::  CNS: Okay, let’s see here, she wants me to do some blood work on you.

Host Tridor says:
::Nods and proceeds to step onto the transporter pad with his aides:: 

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: All three of the aliens get onto the same pad, a dangerous thing to do.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters Transporter Room 1 and checks her phaser as she steps onto the pad::

OPS_Owens says:
<Transporter Room Chief> ::Enters the coordinates and waits for the all clear from the XO::

CNS_Richardson says:
Angel: Hold on a second, you have something right there.  ::Jumps off the biobed and moves over behind Angel::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Shakes head:: Tridor: No, no, only one person per pad.  ::Smiles::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Notices all three aliens trying to stand on the same pad::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Politely:: Tridor: We have enough pads for everyone.

Host Tridor says:
::Looks at the XO in confusion then catches on:: XO: Oh, whoops. ::Gestures for the other two to head to separate pads, their clothing changes color to show their embarrassment::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Grins as the aliens reposition themselves on the transporter pads::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Struggles not to laugh::

OPS_Owens says:
<TR Chief> ::Notices the odd change in clothing color on the Retranthians and wonders::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Brushes a loose hair from Angel's uniform, pokes her quickly and then returns to the biobed where she sits again as though nothing happened::

CSO_Raal says:
::Shakes head at the Retranthians::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*Quartermaster Clark* Please be sure he personally inspects and cleans every corner of the Jeffries tubes.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::Watches his wife arrive and step onto one of the pads::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
Transporter Room Chief : We're ready, Chief.  Tridor: Here we go.  You won't feel a thing.

Host Tridor says:
::Nods, slightly nervous::

FCO_Baptiste says:
<Quartermaster Clark> *CO* Sir?  He is an officer. ::Gulps::  Yes, Sir!!!

OPS_Owens says:
<Transporter Room Chief> ::Nods and begins the transporter cycle::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: You have the Bridge, I'll be in my ready room.  Let me know if anything changes.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Stands straight and relaxed on the transporter pad::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Settles comfortably on the biobed, fingers still drumming impatiently, waiting for the blood work to be completed::

CSO_Raal says:
Tridor: The safest mode of transportation in the universe.

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: The Away Team and Tridor's group transport to the surface::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Stands and goes to the Ready Room::

OPS_Owens says:
OPS: Aye, Sir.  ::Stands watching the CO::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Feels transporter effect and materializes on surface::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Materializes on the planet:: Tridor: See?  It wasn't so bad.  ::Smiles::

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: They arrive in a place where it is early morning.  A vast, unpolluted city is around them.  Buildings shaped like odd flowers and painted with flowers are seen.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Dematerializes and rematerializes on the planet::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Can't help but be surprised by the scenery::

OPS_Owens says:
::Moves towards the center seat after ordering an underling for his post::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Notes the odd shaped structures and pulls out her tricorder to get some readings::

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, in the CO's Ready Room:  The CO finds an Asian, Human Male sitting in his Ready Room chair leaning back.  He wears odd clothing and nods with a smile at the Captain.

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: Nice place you have here.

Host Tridor says:
@::Feels a tingle::  CSO: Thank you.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Looks around in curiosity::

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: In the distance the crew can see a massive, similarly colored, telescope.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*Security* Security to the Captain's Ready Room, please.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Notices the large telescope::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Points:: Tridor: That must be your Observatory of Truth, no?

Host Tridor says:
<Security> *CO* Aye, Sir!

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Figure: Who are you and what do you want?

OPS_Owens says:
::Has the replacement OPS stay alert for Away Team communications::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Moves around, checking the area and sees the telescope shaped object in the distance::

Host Alpha says:
::Stands up:: CO: Greetings, Captain, I am Alpha.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Stands to the left of the door but not near the chair::

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: ::Points at the telescope:: Is that the Observatory?

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: The Asian Male looks completely human, except his eyes have peculiarly colored light blue pupils.

Host Tridor says:
@CSO: Yes.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Waits for Alpha to continue::

FCO_Baptiste says:
:::Starts getting finer grained detail of the planetary system for their charts ::

Host Alpha says:
CO: I am here to thank you.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Takes out his tricorder::

Host Alpha says:
ACTION: Some of the Bridge crew look surprised as a security team rushes in and rushes to the Ready Room.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Alpha: Well, Al, what can I do for you?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Smiles:: Tridor: It is a beautiful sight indeed.

Host Alpha says:
ACTION: On the surface, a few Retranth are out in the early morning hours and look surprised at the new arrivals.

FCO_Baptiste says:
:::Looks about as the security officers rush across the Bridge to the Ready Room::  What the he...???????

Host Tridor says:
@Away Team: Come.  ::Begins to walk in the direction of the telescope::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Feels watched and tries to smile at everyone staring at him::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks curiously at the Retranth::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Follows, sensing the confusion in the Retranthians::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Follows Tridor::

OPS_Owens says:
::Looks at the FCO::  FCO: Problem?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Wonders where that security team is::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Stays close to the team her eyes taking everything in, then glances down at her medical recorder and runs a general scan on the various life forms::

Host Alpha says:
::Looks unchanged by the comment:: CO: My name is Alpha.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Follows the group::

CNS_Richardson says:
<Angel>: I'm fine.  I'm still not sure why I'm here.  How are those tests coming?

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Points at the security team::

Host Alpha says:
<Security Team> ::Arrives in the Ready Room, drawing phasers and aiming::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Whatever.  I'm still waiting for you to answer my questions, Al.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Takes tricorder readings of the area along the way::

OPS_Owens says:
::Notes the Security team arrive at the Ready Room::

Host Alpha says:
CO: I am here to "thank" you.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*Bridge* Set up a level 10 containment field around my Ready Room, please.

MO_Angel says:
CNS: I would assume because you have done something out of character, well, maybe not out-of-character.  ::Smiles::  But that you don't remember.

OPS_Owens says:
*CO* Is there a problem, Sir?

Host Alpha says:
::Not really noticing the security team, begins to pace around the Ready Room::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Snaps tricorder shut and replaces it in her belt.  Continues behind the rest of the group, watching the surrounding areas for possible threats::

CNS_Richardson says:
<Angel>: My memory is fine. Ask me anything. ::Grins::

Host Tridor says:
@::Hoping the Away Team enjoys the splendor of his home world::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Wonders if OPS is also taking readings in the Ready Room::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Takes his wife's hand:: ~~~CMO: Nice little planet, isn't it?~~~

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*OPS* Just do it, please.  ::Sounding a bit frustrated that his order was questioned::

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: My tricorder readings indicate this planet is a virtual paradise.

MO_Angel says:
::Looks at her with mischief::  CNS: When is my birthday?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Thank me and my crew for what?

Host Alpha says:
CO: You and your crew for my freedom.  Although I was of the understanding the Captain represents his crew.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Turns back but keeps walking:: CSO: How so?

OPS_Owens says:
::Stands beginning to feel uncomfortable with the situation::

Host Alpha says:
CO: Thanks to you.  I now have the chance to understand this universe, to further my chances to understand myself, to learn.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Locks her fingers around his::  ~~~XO: Yes, it reminds me of something but I am not sure what~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
::Considers a moment:: Angel: That's something of an unfair question. Ask me something I'd be expected to remember without referring to a databank record.

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: No pollution, lush vegetation almost as if this planet was untouched by carbon-based life forms.

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: I would also take full spectrum readings of the Ready Room.

OPS_Owens says:
<AOPS> ::Raises the force field::

MO_Angel says:
::Smiles::  CNS: This is true.  ::Sits down near her::  CNS: Can you tell me what bothered the CTO during the conference?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Smiles:: Tridor: Looks like you take good care of your planet, Tridor, our compliments on your achievement.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Indeed, a Starship Captain is responsible for his crew.  How have you been observing this universe and how did you get in my Ready Room?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Laughs:: Angel: I have no idea. If you ask me, she was acting somewhat irrationally. ::Her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper as she speaks::

Host Tridor says:
@XO: Thank you. Ah, here we are.

Host Alpha says:
ACTION: The Away Team arrives at the bottom of the massive Observatory of Truth.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Glances back down at her data::  CSO:  That is not all.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Looks up to the huge telescope, and opens his mouth in awe::

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: When this planet becomes a member of the Federation, this could become a hot resort planet.  ::Notices we've arrived at the observatory and takes scans::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Stares at the curiously shaped structures as they walk, listening to the XO and Tridor::

MO_Angel says:
CNS: Did you poke the delegate at the meeting?

OPS_Owens says:
::Walks over to the AOPS who is conducting the scan and reads over his shoulder::  *CO* Sir, we're not detecting anything but you, the security team and a strange energy flux within the room.

Host Alpha says:
CO: That doesn't matter. I haven't begun to observe this universe yet ... but I intend to. Because if I understand other life, their ways, and the like, I can understand myself.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Stops at the base of the massive telescope and looks at it::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Mutters, to no one in particular:: Tempest in a teapot.... ::Turns attention back to Angel::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Stops and snaps her fingers::

OPS_Owens says:
::Leaning over the AOPS shoulder he attempts to identify the flux::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Stops also, his wife's stop surprising him:: CMO: What is it?

CSO_Raal says:
@::Takes readings on tricorder of the telescope::

MO_Angel says:
CNS: Would you like some tea?

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: This is a very large refractive telescope.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Is sorely tempted to send one of the security guards out to shoot the OPS officer::

Host Tridor says:
@::Gestures for the others to follow him in::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@XO: These odd readings, the changing of the clothes and Tari...

CNS_Richardson says:
::Voice somewhat annoyed:: <Angel>: Why does everyone ask me that? Of course I didn't... ::Distracted:: Yes, tea would be good.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Listens to what OPS says uncomfortably ::

MO_Angel says:
::Gets up and goes to get her some::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@CMO: Yes?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Indeed.  In the large scope of things, that's all we are trying to do by being out here.  Now, how did you get into my ready room?

OPS_Owens says:
::Moves the AOPS Officer out of the chair with a forceful nudge and takes the seat attempting to identify in the flux databanks::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Follows Tridor, but now a little more attentive, due to his wife's comments::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Holds up her hand a moment::  COMM: MO: Angel, I am sending you some readings.  Please check them with the data you are getting with the counselor.

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: I detect a dozen or more lenses and it's hooked up to an energy matrix.  I think this is more powerful than any pre-subspace telescope ever created on Earth.

Host Alpha says:
CO: That does not matter. Transportation from one place to another usually has no significance in the history of things.  You are human, no?

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@XO: Pheromones...  These people are exuding a large quantity of it.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Takes the tea, and sips it::

OPS_Owens says:
::Transfers the signature to the FCO's console::  FCO: Have you ever seen anything like this before?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Raises an eyebrow::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Overhears the CMO::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@CMO: Any danger to the Away Team?

CSO_Raal says:
@CMO: Pheromones?

FCO_Baptiste says:
:::Looks at the Data ::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Wonders if these people are like the Deltans::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Fingers tremble as she sips the tea, rattling the cup against the saucer::

Host Alpha says:
ACTION: As the Away Team enters the Observatory of Truth they note the intricate designs inside.  There are a few Retranth milling about, getting some work done.  Tridor leads them through another corridor.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Takes a whiff of the air, trying to identify anything strange::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Sends the data then looks up::  XO: I don't think so but I am not certain.  And pheromones affect different people well, differently.

OPS_Owens says:
<AOPS> ::Stands around unsure of whether he should leave the Bridge or remain to retake the post later::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Takes more tricorder data::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Follows everyone into the structure and looks at the intricate designs on the walls::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Keep your tricorder active.  If the level reaches dangerous, notify me.

MO_Angel says:
::Compares the data then looks up at the CNS::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Now that's where I'd have to disagree with you Al.  There have been many instances, just in Human history, where transportation has changed history itself.

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: Tricorder is very active.

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: Once in school there was something similar, on my home world that is.  Not the same but similar.

Host Alpha says:
::Quirks head:: CO: Humans are a paradox.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Takes another sip of tea, barely able to keep the cup from spilling::

OPS_Owens says:
::Looks at the FCO questioningly::  FCO: Really?  What caused it?

MO_Angel says:
CNS: Looks like you are the recipient of pheromones.  You probably did 'poke' the CTO.  ::Smiles::  But as you did not do it consciously you probably would not remember doing it.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: Tell me, how old is your Observatory?

Host Tridor says:
@XO: Ninety-five years old.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Looks around the immediate area at the designs.  Hears comment::  Tridor: 95 years?

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: There was an alien drive system that was found by one of the ships.  It also gave similar energy readings in some of these bands.

OPS_Owens says:
::Cross references in the science databanks for the flux::

Host Tridor says:
@::Leads them into a large main chamber, where dozens of computers are lined up and images fill the screens of space, nebulae, comets and the like::

CNS_Richardson says:
Angel: It's possible, I suppose.  Must be some strong pheromones.  ::Considers:: Do you have enough data to construct an antidote?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: No one's perfect.  We do the best we can.  Do you have any questions I can answer?  ::Motions for the security team to stand down, but remain alert then moves to sit on the large leather couch in the corner::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: That is most impressive.  Have you had any deterioration, repairs done?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Sets the teacup down before she spills the remainder and sits on her trembling fingers in an effort to still them::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Follows the group into a large room and looks at all the computer monitors::

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: Sir?  If I know my math correctly, they may have witnessed First Contact just a few years ago.

OPS_Owens says:
FCO: Hmm...  ::Taps his chin::  I wonder if that can be applied to some form of site-to-site communication?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Looks around at all the panels.  Kind of reminds him of the Astrometrics lab::

MO_Angel says:
CNS: Not at the moment, but I will get right on one.  You should be able to return to work, just be more conscious of what you are doing and don't be to upset if someone asks you why you did something and you don't remember doing it.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Chuckles:: That should be interesting to see, Mr. Raal.

Host Alpha says:
CO: No, no one is perfect but I wish to further understand humanity.  You are equipped with no special abilities from what I have learned so far. You have no telepathy like the Betazoids and the Vulcans, you cannot change form like the Changelings.  You are frail creatures indeed.

CNS_Richardson says:
Angel: You're releasing me to duty?

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: I have a question.

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: From what the person finding it reported all ship functions seemed to be routed through the engine.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@Tridor: What is the maximum distance you are able to see things?

CNS_Richardson says:
::Stands up from the biobed, making a conscious effort to still her fingers::

Host Alpha says:
CO: Yet on two occasions you repulsed Borg vessels, which threatened to destroy your home world, you fought off the Dominion, which by all calculations, should have annihilated the entirety of Starfleet.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Walks around the room looking at all the monitors::

Host Tridor says:
@CSO: What is your question?

MO_Angel says:
::Reaches over and gives her a shot of anadextrine::  CNS: Yes and that should help some of the tremors you are having of pheromone overload.

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: Did you happen to witness a flight of a ship from Outworld just a few years ago?

Host Alpha says:
<Retranth Scientist One> @::Stepping up:: CMO: Seventeen kilojoules.

CNS_Richardson says:
Angel: Thank you.  Keep me posted on an antidote, will you?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Yet we, for the most part, gave you your freedom.  Not to mention that we Humans are the driving force of this quadrant of the galaxy.  As a human though, my memory is frail.  What circumstances led us to give you your freedom?

Host Tridor says:
@CSO: We have witnessed many vessels entering and exiting Outworld.

MO_Angel says:
CNS: I will.  ::Gives her a reassuring smile::

OPS_Owens says:
::Thinks the FCO may have just answered his question::  *CO* Sorry to bother you, Sir but Lt. Baptiste has seen a similar energy signature before that operated all functions of a ship's systems.  Could you be seeing some form of holographic representation?

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: What I was wondering about was a specific ship, one called the Phoenix, made from a converted nuclear missile that could have been used during Earth's World War III.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@Tridor: Do you have all of this on record?

Host Alpha says:
CO: Interesting circumstances.  War led to our freedom.  War by you and yours.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@CSO: He wouldn't know what a nuclear missile is Lieutenant.

Host Tridor says:
@CSO: What is a nuclear missile?

MO_Angel says:
::Taking the data and doing some brief research finds what she needs::

Host Alpha says:
CO: War seems to be a driving force in the nature of humanity and it's allies correct?  War has changed you countless times.  I wish to witness war.

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: It was a weapon of mass destruction used in the mid 20th century to mid 21st century on Earth.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Exits Sickbay and pauses in the corridor outside::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*OPS* Entirely possible, Lieutenant.

Host Alpha says:
<Retranth Scientist Two> @::Thinks about it, pulls up an image::

Host Alpha says:
ACTION: A vague image of the Phoenix appears on one of the larger screens.

Host Alpha says:
<Retranth Scientist Two> @CSO: Is that what you are asking about?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Eyes grow wide, as he notices the image::

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: ::Points to the screen::  That's it!  The Phoenix!

OPS_Owens says:
FCO: Connect to the external sensors and see if you can find a similar signature somewhere nearby perhaps a cloaked ship?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Watches as one of the Retranth scientists adjusts a monitor and looks at an image of the Phoenix::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: Amazing.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Uplinks to the Paula Greene's computer and downloads information on Zephram Cochran::

Host Tridor says:
@::Turns and looks:: CSO: Ah yes, that was quite an interesting time.  We noticed three other vessels in the area of that day.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Notices her husbands attention elsewhere and follows toward where he is looking::

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: Yes, Sir.

CNS_Richardson says:
*OPS* Richardson here.  Medical has finished with me and released me back to duty.  Do you need me on the Bridge?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: My dear friend, you are watching the beginning of our Federation.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Works on scanning nearby space::

Host Alpha says:
ACTION: Three other images appear following the Phoenix, vague images of a Borg sphere, Vulcan craft and Sovereign Class Starship.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Was this a war of Humans only on our own planet that gave you your freedom?  You wish to witness war?  We have many video files of our most recent war with the Dominion for you to view.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Looks puzzled at the images::  All: Borg?

OPS_Owens says:
*CNS* Affirmative, Counselor.  The Captain is presently talking to an unknown life form in his Ready Room.  I think you may be of great need up here.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Checks her medical recorder then turns toward the CSO::  CSO:  Are you recording this?

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: I know what they are talking about, Sir.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks at the images displayed on the screen.  The Enterprise E and the Borg sphere and a Vulcan ship::

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Slowly expands the search outwards ::

CNS_Richardson says:
*OPS* Acknowledged, on my way.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: Tridor, could we get this information downloaded to our ship?

Host Alpha says:
CO: No, I have learned that data written and created by others could also have been tainted to the whims of the person writing the history.  I wish to see war in person.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: It would make the historians in our world very happy.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Enters the turbolift and instructs it to take her to the Bridge::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Walks to the XO:: XO: That looks like the Enterprise E, Captain Picard's vessel.

Host Tridor says:
@::Nods at the two scientists to begin uploading data::

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: I have heard a rumor that the Enterprise had to go back in time to prevent Borg assimilation.  Nothing was proven though.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Tries to ignore the spot on the wall of the turbolift::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Whispers:: CSO/CTO: What do you think Borg and the Enterprise E at the moment of First Contact?

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: I have uploaded to your computer information about Zephram Cochran, the builder of that ship.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
::Shakes her head::  XO: I must admit Earth history after my people left is a bit weak, but I don't remember anyone mentioning those people being involved.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Whispers:: XO/CTO: Like I said, I heard rumors about that.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Whispers::  XO: Well, if what the rumors say is correct, this fits.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Makes a resignated face:: CSO: Well, I guess this proves it then.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge::

MO_Angel says:
::With Grey begins to put together an antidote::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: There are many forms of war, Al.  What type would you like to see?

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: What do you think this will do with our perception of history?

Host Alpha says:
CO: War between empires, massive battles that change bodies, lives, feelings and so forth.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@CMO: And yet here is proof, living proof.  I wonder why no one ever thought of doing this, as a way to study history?

Host Alpha says:
CO: That which has forged your current time, Captain.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods to OPS:: Owens: Reporting as ordered.

OPS_Owens says:
::Notes the CNS arrival::  CNS: I'm not sure if we should interrupt the CO's conversation or not.  What do you think?

Host Alpha says:
::Looks at one of the security officers:: Security Officer: Could I see your weapon?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@CSO: Nothing.  If this event really took place, there would be records. And if we haven't seen them, they have been deemed classified, probably by Temporal Investigations.

Host Alpha says:
<Security Officer> ::Says nothing, prepares to fire at Alpha if necessary::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Nods to the XO:: XO: Makes sense to me.

OPS_Owens says:
CNS: I mean, interrupt the conversation by sending you in there.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Well, then, I'm afraid you're a bit too late.  ::Not liking where this is going::  You should have been here during the Four Years war with the Romulans.  There just aren't those kinds of wars around anymore.

Host Tridor says:
@ALL: We assumed these vessels were threats to your world but at the time could do nothing to help you.

CNS_Richardson says:
OPS: Be aware that the pheromones affecting my behavior are still present, no antidote.  I've just been treated to suppress the symptoms.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: Tridor, this is truly amazing.  You have actually created a time machine.  With your observatory, we are watching our own history. ::Smiles::

Host Alpha says:
::Waits for the Security Officer to give him the phaser:: CO: Then I shall create war to witness it, Captain.

Host Alpha says:
<Retranth Two> @XO: It gets better. ::Has Camera 23-A zoom in::

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: You see, Mr. Tridor, that sphere there was the only threat.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
*OPS* Where is that containment field?

CNS_Richardson says:
OPS: So my actions may still be somewhat unpredictable.  It's probably not wise to send me into the meeting unless it’s absolutely necessary.

OPS_Owens says:
::Is overcome by shock at the CNS's report::  CNS: Then maybe you may not be a wise choice to send in there.  Perhaps monitoring from a Bridge console?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Taps his COM badge::  COM: Paula Greene: CO: Captain, we have made a truly amazing discovery.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Watches the screen as it changes again::

Host Alpha says:
ACTION: On another view screen the camera zooms in getting light from areas where there is no clothing, slightly sharper images of a field, possibly in the region, which was once the United States can be seen.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Grins at OPS:: OPS: That would probably be safer for those in there.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: XO: Not now, Commander.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Sighs:: COM: Paula Greene: CO: Understood.

OPS_Owens says:
*CO* It's up and running, Sir.  Be advised there were pheromones in effect among the Retranthians, hence the Counselor's behavior earlier.

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: I can find no other ship than those we knew of already.  ::Frowns::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Moves over to a Bridge console and takes a seat::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
Al: Surely we can find another way to do this.  Maybe there are other parts of the galaxy that have what you seek?  Have you checked out the Borg lately?

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: The other two ships are the "good guys."

Host Alpha says:
::Nods:: CO: Once again, Captain, I thank you.  ::Gestures with hand upward and suddenly the force field at the top of the ceiling shorts out  and he disappears in a transporter beam::

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: You see that ship?  ::Points at the Enterprise:: It is our fleet's flagship and the other ship, from what I could make out, is Vulcan.

Host Tridor says:
@CSO: I see.  But what is it doing there?  I mean you said this was two hundred years ago.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Brings herself up to date on the situation::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Sighs heavily and dismisses the security team. Thinks: I hate these all-powerful super-beings::

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: Alpha is gone.  The Security Team scours the room for him.

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: From my understanding, the sphere and the Enterprise went back in time to the year 2062.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Fingers tap distractedly before she catches herself and stops it::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Stalks back onto the Bridge::

MO_Angel says:
::Putting together an antidote smiles at Grey and turns touches her COM badge::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Stands listening to the conversation::

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: The sphere, whose occupants are known as the Borg, a hybrid biological and technological race, wanted to assimilate Earth before First Contact with the Vulcans.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Nods:: Tridor: This fact was probably hidden from the rest of humanity, for their safety.

Host Tridor says:
<Security Team> ::Finishes scouring the Ready Room, noting that the CO's lights are flickering on and off and exit::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Sees the Captain enter and sort of hopes he doesn't notice her::

FCO_Baptiste says:
All: Captain on the Bridge.

Host Tridor says:
@XO: I see.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: We call it classified information.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Keeps her attention fixed on the console in front of her::

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: The Enterprise followed them back to stop them.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: I want all sensor records reviewed, then reviewed again.  I want to know what kind of energy that was and where it was coming from.  That thing went right through the containment field.

OPS_Owens says:
::A flashing light goes off on his terminal and notices the CO arrive::  CO: Sir,  are you all right?  I noticed the force field generators were just fried out in your Ready Room.

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: Suddenly, something warps out of the system from right beside the Paula Greene, seemingly leaving no  trail.

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: The rest of the details were sketchy, because as the Commander mentioned, they are classified.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Mumbles:: I hate super-beings.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Thinks: Ut oh::

OPS_Owens says:
::Nods:: CO: Acknowledged, Sir.  I'll get right on it.

FCO_Baptiste says:
:: Puts hand to switch :: CO: Red Alert?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: Tell me Tridor, do you watch other sections of the stars or are you limited to watching the Home world?

Host Tridor says:
@CSO: I see.  Well, the rest of the facility is open to you all, as it is yet for any of the main staff to arrive.  If you need anything, you can call the main chamber.

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: It seems your observations basically confirm items of our history.

Host CO_Cromwell says:
FCO: Negative.  Not necessary.

FCO_Baptiste says:
::Hopes he is right::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Looks over at the CSO::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: XO: Report, Commander.  ::Feeling a bit tense::

MO_Angel says:
*CNS* Counselor, I have an antidote for you as soon as you can come back down.

Host Tridor says:
@XO: We observed your attackers, the Romulans.  Would you wish to see their Home world?

OPS_Owens says:
OPS: Sir, I haven't received any reports from our Away Team as of yet.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@Tridor: Sure, why not?

CNS_Richardson says:
*Angel* Acknowledged.  ::Stands up::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Nods:: Tridor: We thank you, Tridor for your hospitality and your trust.  Considering your first reaction to myself I am amazed at how you are treating me now.  In a good way.

Host Tridor says:
<Ensign at SCI> ALL: I just detected a warp signature.

CNS_Richardson says:
CO: I've been called back to Sickbay, Sir.  It seems they've devised an antidote for my condition, permission to leave, Sir?

FCO_Baptiste says:
CO: We have a ship off the port bow.  It came in fast and with no trail.

Host Tridor says:
<Ens. at SCI> ALL: There is no trail but it's heading seemed to suggest it was moving into Federation space.

MO_Angel says:
::Places the antidote in a hypospray ready for the Counselor::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
CNS: By all means.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Nods and exits the Bridge::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Mumbles:: Wonderful.

Host Tridor says:
ACTION: On the surface, imagery of the Romulan home world, from a bird's eye perspective is seen.  A vast city, early Romulan constructs is seen.

Host Tridor says:
<Ens. at SCI> ALL: I have a signature though.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Watches the monitor as it displays the Romulan home world::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Enters a turbolift and makes her way back to the Sickbay::

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@::Engaged in the screens::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Looks at Romulus::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
OPS: Alert Starfleet.  Send them all sensor records of that ship as well as from my ready room.

Host Tridor says:
<Ens. at SCI> ALL: Seems to be Klingon.

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: That is indeed Romulus.

CNS_Richardson says:
::Notices that same spot on the wall and mutters to herself: Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone::

Host CO_Cromwell says:
SCI: Can we follow their trail?

Host Tridor says:
<Ens. at SCI> ::Scratches head::  Why wouldn't a Klingon ship leave a trail?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Looks, and smiles:: Self : Amazing,  a window into the past.

FCO_Baptiste says:
OPS: Sending the data I collected as well.

Host Tridor says:
<Ens. at SCI> CO: No, Sir, whatever there is of a trail disperses at the edge of the system.

Host Tridor says:
@CSO: Romulus is the Romulan home world?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
::Wonders why the XO hasn't reported::

OPS_Owens says:
::Nods and begins doing as the CO asked and adding the FCO's data to it as well::

CSO_Raal says:
@Tridor: Correct.  Romulus and Remus.

CMO_Amendoreira says:
@~~~XO: This is great and I don't mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but could not having this information this way create problems?~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
::Arrives in Sickbay and sees Angel:: MO: Here for the antidote, as you requested.

FCO_Baptiste says:
COM: XO: We may have a situation up here, stand-by

CNS_Richardson says:
::Takes a seat on the same biobed as before::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@COM: Paula Greene: CO: Captain, what happened?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: XO: I asked you first, Commander.

CSO_Raal says:
@XO: I wonder what this thing could do if we would enhance it with 24th-century technology.

MO_Angel says:
::Looks up with one of her smiles::  CNS: This should work.  ::Places the hypospray against her neck::

CNS_Richardson says:
::Twitches a little at the injection:: Angel: Good, I'm anxious to get back to normal.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Chuckles:: COM: Paula Greene: CO: Well, Sir, would you believe me if I told you I just watched a real life image of the Phoenix on our guest's Observatory of Truth?

Host CO_Cromwell says:
COM: XO: Prepare the Away Team to beam back to the ship.

MO_Angel says:
::Steps back:: CNS: You should.
