Host SM_JimS says:
The crew of the Paula Greene find themselves in serious trouble.  The small piece of entity that CSO Biishe had found has managed to worm its way into the computer systems, taking control of the ship's functions.

Host SM_JimS says:
The small piece is now the size of a large dog and not about to go anywhere if it can help it!  Engineering has finally managed to shut power down, weakening the entity slightly, but its still in control of the ship!

Host SM_JimS says:
The XO and a team are approaching the entity now with the intention of shattering the entity before it gets any stronger and can completely take over the way the Seeker's been taken over.  Unfortunately, in the commotion, no one's noticed a light blinking on OPS Mushgrave's console.

Host SM_JimS says:
What is that light?  How much more trouble can the crew get into?  Join us as we find out in....He Ain't Heavy, He's My Daddy; Chapter 4 of the Doomsday Saga

Host SM_JimS says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::watches as his team starts spreading around the lab where the entity is:: All : Alright... On my mark...

Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::on his way to SB with Julie::

Host CO_Bafii says:
::moving about the bridge, the backup lights the only illumination::

CTO_Shoarra says:
::on the bridge, trying to get something from her console::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::he takes a deep breath:: ~~~Auri : Wish my luck, my love...~~~

CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  Be careful... and I am sorry.~~~~

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
CO: I think I got something sir!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
All: NOW! ::he watches each of his team members going out of cover, facing the entity and firing their sonic showers at the smaller entity.::

Host SM_JimS says:
Action: The Entity glows and vibrates but reflects the waves back towards the team

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::he follows suit, aiming his sonic shower head and starting to scan through frequencies, trying to find the harmonic one::

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
CO: I have a comm signal directed to the Seeker!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::keeps trying:: All : Remmeber.. As soon as you find the correct frequency, let everyone know about it so we can join in..

CSO_Biishe says:
::Goes over her data, looking for ways to help::

Host SM_JimS says:
ACTION: A very small crack appears in the middle of the Entity but not a very big one

Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Directed...   locate the source and let's hear it

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::watches as the frequencies start hitting the high range::

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
CO: On it Sir

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::flinches slightly as the sonic frequencies start hurting his ears::

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
::Attempts to locate the source of the transmission::

Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO_Burke> ::with Julie in his arms, finally arrives at SB laying her down on a biobed::  Aloud: Doc!

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
All: Alright... There's a small crack... We're heading in the right direction..

CSO_Biishe says:
Self: Dang... never anything simple.

Host CO_Bafii says:
<EO Redundant> ::working on restoring main power, just isolating the systems the entity has control of::

CSO_Biishe says:
::pulls up the data.::  ~~~~XO:  Tealk, that won't be enough to stop it.~~~~

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: ~~~CSO : What do you mean? We've already managed to crack it...~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
<MO Leech>  CEO: What is it?  ::rushes in to see Julie laying on the biobed::

CTO_Shoarra says:
::gets a reading on the Seeker:: CO: Sir. The Seeker shows fully armed.

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
CO: The source is........................it's coming from inside the ship sir................it's the Entity.

Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: Course?

Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns to OPS:: OPS: Jam it

CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  According to the data I collected, it will take more then just sound waves with this entity.  This is not the same entity the Enterprise dealt with.  There are variations.  According to the computer reading, we need to reverse the absorption beam.... take back some of the power.~~~~

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
CO: Jam it......? Alright I'll try........

CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: On a direct heading for us, Sir.

Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> MO: She took a large shock from a exposed console or something...  she hasn't said anything in awhile  ::worry creeping into his voice::

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
CO: Sir I can inhibit the signal and attain a block of some of it but not the entire bandwidth.

Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: Red alert...  raise shields.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO: What absorption beam? Just tell me what you want me to do.. I’ll willing to try anything..~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
::takes his seat::

CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::sets the ship for Red Alert and raises the shields::

CSO_Biishe says:
*CEO*:  I have a question for you... I need something like a magnet.  Except this magnet will collect light waves from the invisible spectrum.  Do you have anything that might work?

CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO: I am seeing if Burke has anything useful.~~~~

Host EntSeeker says:
ACTION:  The ship-to-ship comm signal is heard

Host EntSeeker says:
COM: PG:  Where is my son???

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~ CSO: Auri.. The only thing I know of that absorbs light is... A black hole... But that wouldn't be advisable...~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::worried about Julie, but the CSO's question making him focus:: *CSO*: Um... not really... light energies don't work that way.. but we can generate most of them.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::watches as his team exhaust the frequency range, and the entity is still there.::

Host CO_Bafii says:
::startled by the communication from the entity::

CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  Actually, there are other methods.  And the captain is already annoyed with me, to put it mildly.  I don't think he would be happy if I suggested we go anywhere near a black hole.::

CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Sounds like we have a ticked parent out there.

Host CO_Bafii says:
::before responding:: CTO: Check the files, on how the Enterprise was able to destroy the other entity and be prepared to implement.  I want to know what kind of damage it will do to the Seeker first though.  Send it to my chair.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::inwardly chuckles:: ~~~XO : Well.. We seem to be making progress.. Slow, but we are making it.~~~ All : Keep at it boys.. It looks like it's getting more cracks.

Host EntSeeker says:
COM: PG: Where is my son?  ::shouting::

CTO_Shoarra says:
::pulls up the information and runs a test on possible Seeker damage::

CSO_Biishe says:
*CEO*: Plants... plants absorb different frequencies...

CSO_Biishe says:
::Sighs::

Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: EntSeeker: Your son is aboard my ship.  ::decides to start simply::

Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> *CSO*: Absorb, but not attract.  Most things absorb light energy, that’s why we see in color.

CTO_Shoarra says:
::whispers to herself:: Self: Your son has been a bad little boy and since you are an unfit parent, we brought him here. ::continues to mutter as she works::

Host EntSeeker says:
COM: PG:  You are trying to kill him as you did my mate!

Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> ::holding Julie's hand while the Doc works on her::

CTO_Shoarra says:
::gets back the results and sends them to the CO::

Host CO_Bafii says:
COM: EntSeeker: And you are holding my people hostage...

CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Here's all the information we have Sir.  It will cause hull damage.

CTO_Shoarra says:
::checks sensors:: CO: Sir, it is preparing to fire.

Host EntSeeker says:
COM: PG: Are you the Captain of this vessel?

CSO_Biishe says:
*CEO*:  Attract... or... wait.  That moon.  It was mostly iron.  That acted like a magnet.  What if we somehow surrounded the entity with iron?

Host EntSeeker says:
COM: PG: I wish to see you face to face

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::keeps to his "attack"::

Host CO_Bafii says:
::reads the data from the CTO and send back a note to prepare the weapon if needed::  COM:EntSeeker: Then release the crew you have on the Seeker and it will be arranged.

Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: Stand down Commander, but stay ready.

Host EntSeeker says:
COM: PG: You will do it now or suffer their fate as well Captain

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::frowns:: *CO* : Sir? ::orders his team to stop firing, but to remain with their makeshift weapons pointed at the entity::

CSO_Biishe says:
::With data in hand, makes it back to the bridge, prepared to beard the lions den.::

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
CO: Sir I'm getting a video signal.

Host EntSeeker says:
COM: PG: We will talk

Host CO_Bafii says:
::hoping those parental instincts run deep:: COM:EntSeeker: Anything you do to harm this ship will harm your son... I'm sure you don't want that.

Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: Do not acknowledge

Host EntSeeker says:
COM: PG: He is drawing strength from me; he will not be harmed now

Host CO_Bafii says:
<CEO Burke> *CSO*: To what end

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
CO: Not acknowledging the signal Sir.

Host EntSeeker says:
ACTION:  A figure shimmers into being on the bridge...it's the standard EMH but with a very cruel face and inhuman expression

Host CO_Bafii says:
::shunts the communication with the Entity so the XO can hear::

Host EntSeeker says:
::looking around:: ALL: Where is your Captain?

CSO_Biishe says:
*CEO*:  It would drain the entities abilities so that the frequency wave would work. ::Steps onto the bridge::

CSO_Biishe says:
::Pauses in her tracks.::

Host CO_Bafii says:
::stands:: EntSeeker: I guess you like to get your way...  

Host EntSeeker says:
ALL: You creatures deserve no respect, you've killed my mate

CSO_Biishe says:
::Looks curiously from the stranger on the bridge and the captain, then makes her way around him to her station.::

CSO_Biishe says:
::Frowns as she hears that.  Killed whose mate?  Turns back to look at the stranger on the bridge.::

Host EntSeeker says:
ALL: Who is your leader?

Host CO_Bafii says:
::approaches the hologram:: EntSeeker: I am Captain Bafii.

CSO_Biishe says:
::Quickly puts two and two together and hope she didn't come up with five.::

Host EntSeeker says:
ALL: Answer or your friends … Ah that is better.  I want my son before you harm him any more

CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  Get a sheet of iron and surround the entity down there.~~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: And I want the crew of the Seeker released... seems we have something to discuss.

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii: I should destroy you the way you did my mate

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii: But I do not wish to kill anymore

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~ CSO: What f.. Never mind.. I'm on it...~~~

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::quickly moves back to where the replicators were::

Host CO_Bafii says:
::goes with it::  EntSeeker: We don't wish to kill either.

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii: Then why did you take my mate from me?

CSO_Biishe says:
::Listening to the conversation.::  ~~~~XO:  Don't do anything with it until I tell you to.  It might not be necessary.... one can hope.~~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: Your mate had killed many of my people and would have continued... we wished to protect our children as well.  Unfortunately, we weren't able to communicate like we can now.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::returns with a box of iron sides, with enough size to engulf the smaller entity if need be:: ~~~CSO : Alright.. I'm ready... Just say the word, and I’ll encase it... May I ask why you want to do this though?~~~

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii:  I have been studying your kind as I grew more aware after your friends attacked me.  I do not wish to harm them but if my son is killed, you will all die

CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: It has all weapons locked on us Captain.

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: And I don't wish to harm your son, I only want my people to be safe.  So perhaps we both want the same thing?

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: You wish to leave with your son

CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  According to the data, the iron will absorb energy.  It will also block any incoming energy the entity is taking.  Then... if you must, you will be able to destroy it.  However... that entity apparently has a father that wants to claim it.~~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: I wish to leave with my people

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii: I do but how can I trust you Captain?

Host EntSeeker says:
Action: A low-yield phaser blast strikes the PG

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii: I am impatient

CTO_Shoarra says:
::focuses a scan on the Seeker::

CSO_Biishe says:
::Grasps her console in surprise and scans for the source.::

CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Sir, I have an idea to get the Seeker crew out. ::cuts the comm::

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: Sometimes you must take a risk to get a great reward... I'm willing to take a risk to settle this peacefully. 

CTO_Shoarra says:
::searches for the frequency to destroy the Entity::

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii:  Your species doesn't show that throughout their history

Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: Drop shields

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: Its called growth and learning, something I think you are experiencing now.

CTO_Shoarra says:
::drops the shields as ordered::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::sighs:: ~~~CSO : So you're able to communicate with it?~~~

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii:  Thank you.  I will release your friends

CTO_Shoarra says:
::sends the information about focusing the frequency directly at the Seeker to free the ship to the CO::

CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  Not me.  It is on the bridge now... the father is.~~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: Thank you.  And your son is free to leave with you.  So all of us can go on and not have to kill.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO: What? Ok... I'm heading up there.. My team can take over from here...~~~ ::moves to one of his team members and explains the plan::

CTO_Shoarra says:
::watches the sensors:: CO: Sir, there is a shuttle emerging from the Seeker.

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii:  Do you know of somewhere we can go my son and I?

Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Commander... find the entity an uninhabited area of space with proper resources to sustain them both.

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii: I will seek a new mate; there are still many of us out there

Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods to the CTO::

CSO_Biishe says:
~~~~XO:  I don't know how... he was here when I got here.~~~~

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii: May I go to my son?

CSO_Biishe says:
::Looks at the entity::  EntSeeker:  Did you have something in mind as a resource?

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: Perhaps you can let them all know what you have learned today... 

Host EntSeeker says:
CSO: We need somewhere with organic energy, but no life.... I don't wish to kill anymore

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: Yes... I think you know the way.

Host CO_Bafii says:
*XO*: The Seeker Entity is coming down to retrieve its son, please make way.

CSO_Biishe says:
EntSeeker:  Understood.  It will take me a wee bit of time, but I should have something for you.  Something off the beaten track.

Host EntSeeker says:
Bafii: My apologies Sir for causing any harm.  I would like to tell you all of what happened when I'm done

Host EntSeeker says:
CSO: I will gladly give you that time now

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: We will be glad to hear of it

CTO_Shoarra says:
::begins scanning the area carefully::

Host EntSeeker says:
::heads for his son, nodding to the bridge crew::

Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: Stand down from red alert

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
::Gets a bit teary eyed at all the good will and trust being displayed::

CTO_Shoarra says:
::nods and turns off the red alert::

CSO_Biishe says:
::Nods and turns back to her station, pulling up the data base and beginning to input the key requirements.::

CTO_Shoarra says:
::finishes her scan:: CO: Sir, no other threat in the immediate area at the moment.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
*CO*: Alright sir... ::turns back to head to the lab again::

Host CO_Bafii says:
OPS: See to the needs of the Seeker crew

Host EntSeeker says:
::enters the area where his "son" is:: XO: Sir, can you help me with my son?

Host CO_Bafii says:
::moves back to his chair and kind of flops down:: Bridge: Well, that was... interesting...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::watches the humanoid enter and asks:: Entity : Uhhh.. What.. What do you want me to do?

OPS_LtJG_RiXX says:
::Sniffles:: CO: ::Sniff sniff:.........yes...........::sniff::.......sir......::sniff::.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::motions for his team to lower their sonic shower heads::

Host EntSeeker says:
XO: You, you were the one trying to harm him?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::nods:: Entity : He was damaging our ship.. Endangering our lives. We had no choice but to defend ourselves.

Host EntSeeker says:
XO:  I shall give you a taste of the pain you gave him ::touches him and sends a shock through his body::

CSO_Biishe says:
::Looks over at the Captain, not about to make the comment she has in mind.  Stays with simplicity.::  CO:  I have three possible worlds they might live on.  One is at the furthest edge of federation space.  One is deep in federation space, but off the beaten path.  And the other is kind of in between.  Not so far from the beaten path, <cont>

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::starts shaking in spasms… but manages to hold his screams::

CSO_Biishe says:
<cont> but in a system that is of no value to anyone.

Host EntSeeker says:
XO: Now help me get him from this room

Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns:: CSO: The edge... definitely the edge

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::drops to his knees, his leg's strength leaving him::

CSO_Biishe says:
::A shudder of pain goes through her...::  What the...

CSO_Biishe says:
CO: Captain... something is wrong.

Host CO_Bafii says:
::turns:: CSO: What?

Host EntSeeker says:
::lifts his hand:: XO: Now do you see what you were doing to him?

CSO_Biishe says:
::A distant look of concentration covers her face.::  ~~~~XO:  Tealk?  Are you alright?~~~~

CTO_Shoarra says:
::looks up at the CSO's comment::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::manages to speak though his tongue feels numb:: You..... Can he... lp him.. Yourself...

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO: No... Not.. not really..~~~

CSO_Biishe says:
::Shakes her head at the captain::  CO:  Something is wrong.  Tealk is hurt.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::struggles to get back on his feet, pushing himself up with his hands::

Host EntSeeker says:
XO: You will pay for those words.  I came here in peace and friendship...now you refuse to help me?

CTO_Shoarra says:
::looks back down at her console the skin on her bald head crawling a bit::

Host CO_Bafii says:
CTO: With me ::rushes to the lift::

Host EntSeeker says:
::takes his son and heads back for the bridge::

CTO_Shoarra says:
CO: Sir?  I'm reading something from the Seeker.  Its weapons have locked back on to us.

CSO_Biishe says:
::Torn between going and staying, but knowing they were more capable of helping her husband then she was.  Frustrated...::  ~~~~XO:  Hang on, the Captain and CTO are on their way.~~~~

Host CO_Bafii says:
::sees the Entity return::  EntSeeker: What happened down there?  I understand one of my people is hurt.

CTO_Shoarra says:
::calls her relief to Tac 1 and follows the Captain::

Host EntSeeker says:
CO:  I asked for help; he was the one who had hurt my son.  I cannot trust your kind

CTO_Shoarra says:
::stops seeing the entity come back and goes back to her station::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::manages to get back to his wobbly feet::

Host CO_Bafii says:
::tries to keep himself as calm as he can:: EntSeeker: Part of growing is learning from the past, not using it to keep yourself from becoming better.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CSO : I'll be... Fine..~~~

CSO_Biishe says:
::Steps forward::  Entity:  You hurt my mate, who was trying to protect his son and daughter?

Host CO_Bafii says:
::nods for the CTO to continue on and see to the XO::

Host EntSeeker says:
CO: Perhaps you are right.... may I apologize to him?

Host CO_Bafii says:
CSO: Stand down Commander

CTO_Shoarra says:
::gets the nod from the CO, leaves her station a second time and heads to the turbolift to check on the XO::

Host EntSeeker says:
CO: I am not stable, your bioneural gel packs and my energy do not mix well

CSO_Biishe says:
::Shakes her head::  CO:  I am pointing something out.  I am not attacking him in anger.  ::Though tempted, understands what is going on here.::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::now that the entities are gone, his team members help him stay up, and start walking him out of the lab towards sickbay::

Host EntSeeker says:
CO: Have you found me a home?

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: I will be happy to extend your apology to him.  Perhaps it is best you and your son start the trip to the home we found for you.

CTO_Shoarra says:
<TO_Snow> ::wonders if anybody heard about the Seeker's weapons being locked back onto the PG and waits for the order to raise shields so they won't get blasted if something happens::

Host EntSeeker says:
CO: I would like that very much....and Sir, my apologies to you as well

CTO_Shoarra says:
::find the XO:: XO: You need a hand Commander?

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: Thank you... oh and would you mind shutting down the Seeker's weapons... makes my people a bit nervous.  ::smiles, hopes it doesn't look too forced::

CSO_Biishe says:
Entity:  There is too much hurt here.  Understand.  As you would protect yours, we would protect ours.  And I have a world where you can do that and hurt no one.  And none should harm you or yours.

Host EntSeeker says:
CO: It shall be done

Host EntSeeker says:
ACTION: The Seeker's weapons power down

CTO_Shoarra says:
<TO_Snow> ::watches the Entity with her finger wavering over the engage shields button::

Host CO_Bafii says:
EntSeeker: Thank you.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::smiles slightly, as his lips still twitch a bit:: CTO : Thanks...

Host EntSeeker says:
CSO: I am beginning to understand that...now my new home?

CTO_Shoarra says:
<TO_Snow> ::looks back down at sees the Seeker's weapons go inactive once again::

Host CO_Bafii says:
::hopes that Aurora doesn't get too into it, the Entity is obviously still easily confused by these new concepts it is learning::

CSO_Biishe says:
::Motions to her console and viewscreen::  Entity:  It is located here.  ::Points::  At the far edge of federation space.  There the federation has some say in your protection, and yet you are far away, that you may have nothing to do with anyone.

Host EntSeeker says:
ALL: I hope that one day we may once again communicate.  That will be most acceptable.  Thank you all

Host EntSeeker says:
ACTION: With a smile on its face, son in its arms, the EntSeeker fades away and is soon picked up on sensors moving away at Warp 9

CTO_Shoarra says:
::gets an arm around the XO's back:: XO: I can help with your pain right now Commander.  Or, we can go on to sickbay and you can receive a hypo there.

Host CO_Bafii says:
::drops the smile, visible exhausted::  CSO: You have the bridge.. I'll be... I'll be not here...  ::enters the TL::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
::manages to chuckle:: CTO : Lt... I'm a married man...
