CTO_Ryan says:
@::Standing just inside the door to the command center on the planet surface staring out the portal::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::sitting the Flight Controls Console::

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::still examining the computer readouts aboard the Algernon Device::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::stood at Science One, still incredibly furious::

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Looking around for any possible weaknesses::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::sitting in the Big Chair::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::still on the planet, waiting for further word from Angel, hoping things are going well with Audrina::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, every screen in the Algernon Device command center flashes to darkness with a dim light shining from above ...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : When was the last time the Away team reported?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO:  uhm ::checks time:: about 15 Minutes , sir

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::shakes his head slightly, clearing a mental haze, and glances at the monitors which are emitting a dim light::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Well.... Open a channel, please.. It's time we heard from them again..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Aye, sir ::punches buttons :: Channel open

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Turns away from the portal and walks back to her desk, picking up the large PADD and checking on the security teams::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the dim light which is apparent on the darkened viewscreens begins to illuminate an apparent object moving toward the viewer [on the viewscreen of course].

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::feels a slight tingling in his arm and has trouble holding the tricorder steady as he is overcome with a brief bought of the shakes::

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::shakes his arm and flexes his hand clearing the tingling:: CMO: Could this be a sensor image?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Algernon's Voice booms - "It is that which I collided with."

CNS_Richardson says:
@::wanders back toward the colonists' encampment, to continue her observations of them::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : Captain.. This is Commander Amendoeira.. Can you hear me?

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Steps up close to look::  CO:  I don't know

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::moves closer to the viewscreen looking at it closely, taps his commbadge:: COM: XO: Yes Commander, I can hear you fine. Is there a problem?

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Looks at the captain covertly, then back at the screen::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The object becomes more apparent, it is a bird. However, as it gets more clearer, it is unlike any bird that the Captain and Doctor have seen before. It's long out stretched wings flap in pure silence ... brilliant red feathers cover it's body. And then it's beak opens up to emit a screech which causes both officers to shudder.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : Actually sir.. We where getting worried... I thought we had agreed on 15 minute interval communications while you where off the ship?

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::raises an eyebrow:: COM: XO: Commander, are the Paula Greene's sensors detecting this ... bird?

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Puts her hands to her ears.  In a quiet voice::  Algernon:  You collided with a bird that caused you problems?  It was alive?

Host Shinar says:
# ::Wandering through the colony, spots a group of sec. personnel "escorting" a Bellicose Inorganic to the command center:: Well, lookie here ...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::thinks Bird?::

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::taps several buttons on his tricorder looking to see if the universal translator can make anything of the screech from the bird::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::stabs at her console::

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Shakes her head and under her voice...::  CO:  Do you know of the Earth legend of the phoenix?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::shakes head no ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : Bird, sir?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::looks back at the FCO to confirm the tactical readings::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::finishes up her rounds of the colonists, and makes her way back to the command center::

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Closes her eyes and sends a mental picture of the bird to Tealk.::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "I do not know what it is. My computer no longer can understand things on this plane properly ... I ... used to have a being of your universe who could comprehend things on this plane of existence. Without her, I am lost, and thus can barely understand what exists here. This is as best as I can 'translate.'"

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::thinks quietly and speaks very calmly:: COM: XO: Perhaps now is a good time to beam Doctor Biishe back to the Paula Greene, please.

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Looks at the captain::  CO:  No sir and I quote general order (Whatever)

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::shakes head no to indicate no sign of a Bird::

CMO_Biishe says:
Algernon:  What happened to that being?

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "She chose to leave."

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~receives Aurora's image~~~ COMM CO : Sir.. We're not picking up anything on sensors other than the Algernon device..

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Follows the sec. team to the command center quietly::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: We can't even get a lock on them

CMO_Biishe says:
#Algernon:  Perhaps there is away we can help you learn?

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::overhears the response from the Algernon and ignores Doctor Biishe's as if lost in thought ... wanders towards the middle of the deck::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "Perhaps."

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : Sir.. Even if we wanted to.. It seems we can't get a lock on you...

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Keeps an eye on the captain, hiding her concern.::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::enters the command center, and takes a seat, nodding to the CTO::

CMO_Biishe says:
#Algernon: Tell me how...

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Puts the PADD down on the desk, turns and walks out of the command center turning right and walking quickly towards the team with the inorganic::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Throughout the command center, the apparent "phoenix" fades from the viewscreens to be replaced by the earlier images.

Host Shinar says:
@ ::"Skips" along after the sec. team, spotting the CTO approaching::

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Patiently waits::

Host CO_Vakol says:
#:;feels the tingling in his arm again and rubs it as if cold, sits in what could only pass for the center seat:: CMO: Doctor, I think now would be a good time for you to return to the Paula Greene.

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "It is too high a price for you to willingly pay."

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Sees Shinar and sighs and approaches the security team::

CMO_Biishe says:
#Algernon:  what is the price?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::catches sight of both Shinar and the CTO through the portal, and decides she'll just quietly sit here::

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Looks at the captain, knowing full well she will not leave him... ignoring the fact it is against the rules::

CTO_Ryan says:
@Sec. Team: Great, store that thing in container 25A, over there.  ::Points::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "You would have to leave this plane of existence ... 'merge' with me."

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns, picking up thoughts from his wife:: ~~~Aurora, what are you thinking~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
#Algernon:  I could then return and leave as did the one before?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks at Shinar and frowns::  Shinar: Can't you find something to keep you busy?  How about a coloring book and some crayons?

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::answers for the Algernon:: CMO: No Doctor, you could not.

CMO_Biishe says:
#~~~~XO:  There is something wrong with the captain.~~~~

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Gives the CTO a special gesture in response::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Lt.. We have to get them out of there.. Now..

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~Aurora : Aurora.. I know you better than that...~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Sees his gesture and returns it, turning her back and following the security team to container 25A::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Then lowers the four finger gesture which he learned from an Alderian Trader once, and walks off to find the CNS::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: If you can get them to get somewhere we can retrieve then fine, or maybe we could open a hole big enough in the ship ?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Prepare a Shuttle... We're going over there..

CMO_Biishe says:
#CO:  Sir, I believe your orders were to protect the colony, at all costs.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Aye, sir

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Wishes Starfleet would just let her put him out of everyone's misery and continues walking::

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::draws his phaser:: CMO: That's correct Doctor, those were my orders. And I will carry them out. Now return to the Paula Greene.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : Sir.. We're heading over in a shuttle... Please make your way to the nearest exit..

CNS_Richardson says:
@::puts down the PADD she'd been glancing over, in between glances out the portal at the CTO and Shinar, and goes over to the food locker, rummaging around in it::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "I am no threat to your colony."

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO; Engineering reports they will have one prep'd in two minutes

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Spots the CNS, and enters into the specific room:: CNS: Hullo Doc.

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Looks at the captain::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Moves ahead of the security team stopping to enter the code into the container lock, opening it and watches the security team load the inorganic into the container::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: If they change locales, we may be able to beam them out

CMO_Biishe says:
#~~~~XO:  If my biosigns loose consciousness, the moment I enter the beaming site, you are to beam two aboard.~~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
@::looks up:: Shinar: Heya. You hungry? ::holds up a ration bar, and tosses it to him, before rummaging some more::

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::gives her a small, soft, smile as another case of the shakes comes over him:: CMO: Tell Commander Amendoeira that I hope he's ready for the center seat.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CMO : What do you mean' What's happening out there?~~~

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Catches the ration bar, looks at it cautiously:: CNS: Not really. Of course, skin 'n bones Ryan might enjoy it.

CMO_Biishe says:
#~~~~XO:  I don't know and I am very worried.~~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
@::grins to herself:: Shinar: Ah, good. Why don't you take it out to her?

CMO_Biishe says:
#CO:  Captain, my husband does not want the command seat.  It belongs to you.

Host CO_Vakol says:
#~~~ Algernon: Return the Doctor to the Paula Greene and I will merge with you. ~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Pulls out her medical tricorder and scans him again.::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Let’s go.. ::rushes to the TL:: FCO : We'll beam in where they did.. And get to their position.. We don't have time for a shuttle

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Sits down, and tosses the bar to the side:: CNS: I'd rather not. So, what's going on with the ship?

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::smiles:: CMO: Not anymore... ::indicates the chair he is in:: ...I can only have one command at a time.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Aye , Sir we can beam from here to the closest location

CNS_Richardson says:
@::shrugs:: Shinar: Don't know.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::continues stabbing at her console::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Taps her security code into the container lock, securing the container:: Sec. Team: 24/7 guards.  You two take the first shift.  ::Turns and heads back to the command center::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon, in response telepathically - "Understood ... I accept your proposal."

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: FCO : True... ::signals the OPS officer to beam them down::

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Frowns, realizing what is going on with the captain and what he means::  CO:  Sir... ::Bows her head::

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::raises his hand in the Vulcan salute:: CMO: Live long and prosper, Doctor...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
# ::materializes ::  XO: this way  ::leads::

CMO_Biishe says:
#::Lifts her hand in reply, her eyes not leaving his::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::rearranges all the rations back into the locker, not having found any that appealed to her, and shuts the door::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
#::follows the FCO:: ~~~Auri?~~~

 Host XO_Amendoeira says:
#~~~CMO : We're coming~~~

FCO_O`Rourke says:
#::enters some sort of TL ::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Suddenly, a psionic rift consumes the FCO, XO & CMO ... and they reappear on the Paula Greene's bridge.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::looks around the bridge, trying to see who is the most senior officer now::

Host Shinar says:
@ CNS: Hmmm ... they get themselves assimilated again?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks around the bridge, tears evident in her eyes::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::appears on the Paula Greene's bridge:: Self : What the?

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::sees the group rematerialize, harrumphs and turns back to her console::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::looks around :: Self : Huh ?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::sits back, and looks at Shinar:: Shinar: No, now what are the odds that would happen again, so soon? I'm sure they're fine; I was in contact with MO Angel just a bit ago.

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "I sense great distress within you. Are you sure you are prepared for this task?"

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Pushes open the doors to the command center entering and seeing Shinar again.  Nods to the Counselor:: CNS: The inorganic is secured.  ::Glares at Shinar:: Shinar: Here for the coloring book?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Quietly::  XO:  The captain is going to merge with the Algernon device... and... ::Looks down::  he will live there.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::nods at the CTO, and sits back, watching the two of them, hiding a small smile::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::bangs his hand on the Railing:: All : NO... COMM CO : Captain... Think about what you are doing....

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: Live there ?

Host CO_Vakol says:
#Algernon: I am ready...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : It is not logical to do what you are doing.. You are a Vulcan!!!

CMO_Biishe says:
::Lays a hand on his arm::  XO:  Let him...

Host Shinar says:
@ Ryan: Go get knocked out or somethin', make yourself useful.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at the FCO::  FCO: It is best this way.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : Captain!!!!

Host CO_Vakol says:
#COM: XO: Logic is only the beginning, Commander. Not the end. ::begins to cry::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::stands there uncomprehendingly ::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "It will mean great sacrifice. You will have to sit by and watch, not interfere. In time, you may see things which you want to stop ... are you prepared to stand by and let them take their proper course?"

CMO_Biishe says:
::The tears begin to fall in earnest::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::opens his mouth to speak.. but realizing the hint of feelings in the Vulcan's voice...., changes his sentence..::

CTO_Ryan says:
@Shinar: Don't you wish.  I could however have YOU knocked out.  Put us all out of your misery.

Host CO_Vakol says:
#::chuckles uncharacteristically:: Algernon: A Prime Directive? I so pledge.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : Captain.... God speed... And.. May you boldly go where no man has gone before....

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::almost automatically , reaches in a pocket and hands a handkerchief to the CMO ::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Smiles:: CTO: Temper temper.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Hands her medical tricorder to the FCO in exchange for the handkerchief::

CTO_Ryan says:
@Shinar: Why don't you leave and go fall off a cliff or something?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::bows his head down::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::takes tricorder, but is somewhat baffled as to what is going on ::

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: Algernon - "Your pledge is noted. Welcome." A bright searing light strikes the Captain, and he begins to hover ... all the distress and doubt following his assimilation by the Borg begins to fade gently.

CNS_Richardson says:
@Shinar, Ryan: Now now, I realize that being down here is making people edgy...

Host Shinar says:
@ CTO: Is it that time of the month?

CNS_Richardson says:
@Shinar: Shinar! That was uncalled for.

Host Shinar says:
@ CNS: Your point?

CTO_Ryan says:
@CNS: Excuse me, Counselor but HE is a boil on the butt of the galaxy.  No, correction: He IS the butt of the galaxy!

CMO_Biishe says:
::Slips into her husbands arms::

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Stands up and stretches::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::frowns:: Shinar: Enough bickering, insults. Play nice. ::looks at Ryan:: And you too. We're stuck here, so if you can't be nice to each other, just ignore each other.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::Glances idly at the Padd and then begins reading in earnest ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::embraces his wife:: ~~~CMO : Why did he do this?~~~

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: The light finally fades, and the Captain is different ... his uniform has been replaced by that of a white sleek jumpsuit.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::shakes her head, picks up a PADD and reads the latest security reports::

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~~~XO:  Because of the illness that was slowly taking over~~~~

Host Shinar says:
ACTION: He feels an internal peace, that of which he has not felt for a long while.

Host Shinar says:
@ ::Nods a smug grin at the CNS, and then leaves::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::looks down into her wife's face, and speaks aloud:: CMO : Illness?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::shakes her head, and sits down, picking up the PADD she'd set down earlier::

CMO_Biishe says:
XO:  Bendi syndrome... there is no known cure.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::looks surprised..:: CMO : Why didn't you tell me... ::looks up:: Self : Why didn't he tell me?

CMO_Biishe says:
XO:  It was in the early stages.  In that stage it does not show up.  The recent events have sped it up I think.

Host Algernon says:
# YOU UNDERSTAND NOW. YES?

Host Vakol says:
#Algernon: I understand...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : Captain...

CMO_Biishe says:
::Turns in his arms to look out at the screen::  Algernon:  Take good care of him...

Host Algernon says:
# YOU HAVE MANY RESPONSIBILITIES HERE ... RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH SUPERCEDE THOSE YOU SWORE TO UPHOLD IN YOUR FEDERATION.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::puts the PADD down again, unable to concentrate:: CTO: I need some fresh air. I'm heading out.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CO : You should have told me....

CTO_Ryan says:
@CNS: Very well, Counselor, take your escorts with you and him too, if you want. ::Points to Shinar::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::exits the command center, without waiting on an answer::

Host Vakol says:
#::can't hear the communication from the Paula Greene any longer. Sits in his chair and begins to command the vessel, telepathically, guiding it out of the area:: Algernon: This oath I have sworn supercedes all others.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Lays a hand on his arm::  XO:  I don't think he knew...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM AT : All senior officers, prepare to be beamed up to the bridge... Something has happened...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: She is moving

CMO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Perhaps you should inform the crew on the planet what is happening.

Host Algernon says:
ACTION: The massive Algernon Device begins to move away from the Paula Greene ... which suddenly begins to shake.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::bows his head down::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Adjusts her stance, so not to fall::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Let her go...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
:::holds onto his chair ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::grabs the railing::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::holds on to her console::  XO: Sir, whatever's out there is moving into a psionic rift!

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: AT: Be Prepared for immediate beam up, there have been developments with the CO

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CSO : It's returning home, Miss Van Der Broek

CMO_Biishe says:
::Takes a deep breath::

Host Algernon says:
ACTION: The massive rift that Algernon came out of earlier opens before it once again ... and before any of them can blink, the device and their Captain vanish into it.

Host Algernon says:
ACTION: And then the rift closes, and they are gone.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM : AT : Away team, respond... ::turns back to the OPS officer:: What's happening?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::tries again :: COMM: AT: Be Prepared for immediate beam up, there have been developments with the CO

CMO_Biishe says:
::Watches the screen... continuing even after all returns to normal.::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::stops just outside of the command post, pausing to consider where she is going, and then heads over to the memorial area::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Sec. Officer One> @ *CTO* Ma'am, we think the Inorganic is activating ... you better get over here.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::after the OPS officer informed him it was a disruption caused by the rift that was subsiding::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::tries again :: COMM: AT: Be Prepared for immediate beam up, there have been developments with the CO. please Respond

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks up as she picks up a weak COM from the ship::  COM: PG: FCO: Ryan here, Lt.  I am having difficulty reading you.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Keep trying to raise the AT:.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Aye sir

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: We have a partial from the CTO

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: PG: FCO: Ryan to PG, please respond.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Also.. I want all senior officer on the Briefing room in 30 minutes... ::turns to Aurora:: CMO : I have to call Starfleet..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::tries again :: COMM: AT: Be Prepared for immediate beam up, there have been developments with the CO

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: Permission to re orbit the planet ?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Nods, stepping away from him.::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::moves off into the Ready Room..:: FCO : Granted.. You have the bridge...

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Hears "immediate beam up" and something about the CO::  COM: PG: Acknowledged.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::punches a number of buttons to re establish orbit ::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Taps COM badge:: *CNS* Please return to the command center immediately, Counselor.  We are to beam back to the ship.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: CTO:  Meeting with Senior officers in the briefing room in 30 Minutes

CNS_Richardson says:
@::hears the COMM:: *CTO* Acknowledged. On my way.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::turns, and heads back to the command center::

CTO_Ryan says:
@ *Sec Officer One* Acknowledged, on my way.  ::Bursts out of the command center running towards the container::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::punches buttons to decrease speed ::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Crumples the handkerchief in her hand, her heart heavy.  It was time for her to go home.  Soon...::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Paula Greene comes about, and moves back to the planet.

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: PG: FCO: Acknowledged.  Be advised we have a possible "situation" down here.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::finishes the last course corrections for orbital insertion ::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Arrives at the container:: Sec Officer One: What is it?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COMM: CTO: Situation ?

CTO_Ryan says:
@ COM: PG: FCO: Stand by, Lt.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CTO arrives to find the sec. team standing in formation around the crouching Inorganic, weapons drawn and aimed. It quietly is observing them with it's beady red eyes.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks up, pushing her thoughts aside to deal with the current mission.::

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Sec. Officer One> @ CTO: It activated fully a minute ago, ma'am. Hasn't done anything yet ...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::wonders what they may need ::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Draws her phaser and aims it at the inorganic:: All: Does it speak?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::arrives at the command center, and looks surprised:: *CTO* I thought we were being beamed up?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Sec. Officer Two> @ CTO: I don't remember hearing about the Inorganics being able to speak.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Security Officer Two: Yeah, well, did you guys try to communicate with it at all?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Sec. Officer Two> @ CTO: We asked it what it wants ... no response.

CTO_Ryan says:
@ COM: PG: FCO: The inorganic has activated and escaped from the storage container.  It is kneeling on the ground, however hasn't shown any signs of hostility yet.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Walks over to science::  CSO:  What are you picking up from around the CTO and her team?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::sits down, and waits::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
COM: CTO: Understood, let me see what data I can pull up and tell the XO

CTO_Ryan says:
@ ::Taps COM badge:: *CNS* Report to the storage container area, Counselor.  We have a situation you may be able to help us with.

CNS_Richardson says:
@*CTO* Acknowledged. On my way.

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO: Tealk, we have a situation that needs addressing out here.~~~~

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CMO: I'm picking up Lieutenant Ryan and her team, sir.

CMO_Biishe says:
CSO:  Nothing else?  What about the inorganic construct she mentioned?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::heads out to the designated area::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Inorganic slowly turns it's head in a 360 degree fashion to look at all of the sec. guards.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Moves a little closer to the inorganic::  Inorganic: Who are you?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::attempts to pull up data on the inorganics ::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CMO: Sensors don't pick up inorganic material, doctor.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::enters, and sees the activated inorganic, and the CTO::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*XO*  They have a situation down there, they found an activated  Inorganic

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Inorganic then focuses on the CTO. It's computer module does not have data on Starfleet rank structure [as it was lost during the original conflict two years prior] so it can only assume that as the CTO has stepped forward, she is the leader.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Watches as the inorganic's head slowly turns 360 degrees::

CMO_Biishe says:
CSO:  If it is active, there must be some way to gather information of it.  See what you can come up with.

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: Don't get too close ::her voice worried::

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Looks at the CNS:: CNS: We are trying to communicate with it.  Any suggestions?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*FCO* : On my way... ::pauses the communication package to send to  SF, and walks out of the Ready Room::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
CMO: Sensors don't pick up inorganics, doctor.  ::looks defiantly at her console screen::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::tries to scan for life signs and such on the planet ::

CNS_Richardson says:
@CTO: Mmmm, not sure. We have contact with the ship; I'll see if they have any data on trying to communicate with this.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::walks onto the bridge:: COMM CTO : Ryan... What's the situation down there?

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: I have isolated the CTO's Life sign and others in the area

CMO_Biishe says:
::Lays a hand gently on her arm::  CSO:  Adrienne, unless it is magic, there something has activated it.  Let's see if we can't find out what.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Nods to the CNS and turns her attention back to the Inorganic:: COM: PG: XO: Sir, the inorganic has reactivated itself.  It has not yet shown signs of hostility.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ens. at OPS> XO: Sir, there's a signal emanating from the surface ... it appears to be Bellicose in origin. It's coming from the command center.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Do you have any portable shield generators down there?

CNS_Richardson says:
@::overhears the comm:: COMM XO: Richardson here. The CTO's trying to communicate with it; it hasn't shown any hostility. We need any information in the database that might help us communicate, sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Can you disrupt it? Jam it?

CMO_Biishe says:
FCO:  Can we modulate our sensors to pick up the creature?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ens. at OPS> ::Hands fly across the board:: XO: It's jammed, sir.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: I am trying to pull up the needed data from the db right now

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Motions for a few of the security personnel to run and get the shield generators and bring them back::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::spins on Biishe::  CMO: Firstly, doctor, it's Audrina.  Secondly, if you think that you can change the entire theory behind sensor scanning, I suggest you take over and let me do something more constructive.  ::her eyes wild with fire::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO; I have a technology sign in the near proximity of the CTO now

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Inorganic quietly watches the sec. personnel rush off.

CTO_Ryan says:
@Inorganic: Who are you, what are you?  ::Keeps phaser aimed at the thing::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CNS : Counselor. We've detected a signal emanating from the command center, Bellicose in origin.. We've jammed it, just in case.. Now.. Erect a level 8 field around that thing... And keep away until you have it contained... If you have to, kill it...

CNS_Richardson says:
@ ::nods:: COMM XO: Noted, sir. Already working on the fields.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CNS : I don't want anyone getting near that thing..

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: It happens before any of the sec. personnel, including the CTO can register it. A red burst of energy flashes out and rips the CTO's phaser in half, then the Inorganic extends three of it's power legs outward, hurling the other sec. personnel away.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Then it's moving like a blur, rushing past the CNS and out the door the other sec. personnel left through.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::makes her way closer to the CTO:: CTO: We're to keep .... ::ducks, as the activity starts::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Steps back and eyes the CSO::  CSO:  I understand the basic principles of physics and the physical.  Where there is a possibility, one tries.  ::Command in her voice::  CSO:  I want any information and possibilities that you can come up with.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Drops her phaser as it gets sliced in half:: All: Get back!

CNS_Richardson says:
@::dives for cover::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Inorganic vanishes down the corridor. The CTO & CNS can hear screams and weapons fire as the Inorganic comes in contact with the sec. personnel who were heading for the shield generators.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: Then there is silence.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: It is in motion

CNS_Richardson says:
@::quickly taps her comm badge:: COMM XO: Too late, it's loose!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::looks at the sensor image on the screen:: FCO : Track it.....

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Runs after the inorganic, grabbing a phaser from one of the security personnel on the ground::

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
::looks despairing::  CMO: Fine, it won't work, but I'll look into it.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
OPS : Assemble an assault team, have them issued with Type 3 Phaser rifles... Beam them down to that location.. NOW!

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: I am trying to sir...suggest a tight annular confinement beam ?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The CTO stumbles across her sliced and diced sec. personnel.

Host AGM_Selan says:
<Ens. at OPS> XO: Aye, sir!

CNS_Richardson says:
@:;follows the CTO, grabbing a loose phaser::

CMO_Biishe says:
CSO:  That is all that I have asked.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Try it...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::punches a number of buttons and watches a beam stab down to the planet

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Inorganic gets out into the open, then looks up at the sky. It's chest opens up, and a peculiar pod extends outward ... and then shoots out in a large burst of blue energy which consumes the Inorganic, destroying it.

CMO_Biishe says:
CSO:  Try altering frequencies, using the information known.

CNS_Richardson says:
@::stops, and starts checking for injured among the security guards::

CTO_Ryan says:
@COM: PG: XO: Sir, the thing has escaped.  We are in pursuit.  Request additional back up at my location.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Lock our phasers onto that tech reading.... If it reaches an uninhabited are, warn the away tam off, and fire..

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: It seems to have disappeared ?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
COMM CTO : Already on it's way...

CMO_Biishe says:
XO:  I should go down.  There are probably wounded.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns to the FCO:: FCO : What?

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The pod exits the atmosphere ...

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
XO: There's been an explosion on the surface.  Incoming.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::turns back:: CSO : Incoming what?

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Watches as the inorganic self destructs:: COM: PG: XO:  It seems to have self destructed or transported, Sir.  It's gone.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: There is a pod ::locks a tractor on it ::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Shield up, red alert..

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The tractor beam is disrupted by a subspace rift which appears before the pod.

CSO_van_den_Broek says:
XO: I don't know.  There's a small subspace rift forming.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
FCO : Very good , Mr. O'Rourke...~

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::watches the pretty red lights strobing::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: And then the pod vanishes into it.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Turns to the CNS:: CNS: Too bad it didn't take Shinar with it.  ::Turns and heads back to the security personnel::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The subspace rift closes soon after.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
TO : Fire on that...... Belay that order..

CNS_Richardson says:
@::shakes her head, making a mental note to set Ryan up for a session, and turns her attention back to the wounded::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
XO: It is gone sir, to whatever never never land the other ship went to

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
CMO : Sorry Doctor.. No one is beaming down.. Not until we establish that everything is safe for the ship...

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at Tealk, that look in her eye::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CMO : Ari, there are certainly doctors down there that can help... I will beam any wounded back when things are considered safe.. ~~~

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::wonders how they would tell that , with the weird goings on lately ::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Slowly nods her head::

CNS_Richardson says:
@::turns her attention to the next of the wounded::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: And we leave the Paula Greene crew in confusion, now focusing on an area 
of space in a galaxy far, far away ...

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... where the pod emerges from it's subspace rift right before a grouping of starships which look like they were congealed instead of constructed.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The pod is soon beamed aboard the largest of the vessels ...

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: ... and seemingly an hour later, a large slug-like creature moves into a massive "throne-room," holding the pod in it's not so strong hands.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: It approaches the throne, where a female being sits quietly, and states, "My queen, we have acquired a pod from one of our constructs. It has data on the Federation ... primarily in the area of the Aquilae Star Cluster. However, it as well has data on subspace 'shudders' in the quadrant in recent days ..."

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Queen ponders this for a moment, "What are you saying ..?" The Slug Creature approaches his queen, and hands her the Pod which displays an image on a recently attached viewscreen. She looks at it, and her face forms a grin, "Ah ... I see."

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Servant grins at her smile, then "slugs" his way away.

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Queen strokes the pod, then begins to giggle ... then laugh ... and we fade into darkness.
