Host Lumina says:
Continue "Journey into Mystery Part III" SD 10105.20

OPS_Rogers says:
::Sitting at his console sipping on his 10th cup of coffee of the day.::

CEO_Rogers says:
@::In the chamber trying to find some more instructions to the device.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::On the bridge in CO chair.::

CSO_Sketek says:
%Lumina: I was just thinking. Can we go back to the place we came from? Do you have a portal on this end too?

Host Lumina says:
%::Floating in mid air in front of the CSO and TO.::

CMO_Mercz says:
::At SCI1 monitoring the AT's progress.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Stands in tactical.::

FCO_Durron says:
@::Scanning the walls.::

TO_AlThor says:
%::Standing with CSO.::

Host Lumina says:
CSO: ::Waves hand and the portal back is revealed.:: Of course,  you must destroy the device on another world which is generating the rift in your reality.

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Do we have any chance of communicating with CSO and TO?

CSO_Sketek says:
%Lumina: Is the portal creating the rift?

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Unless one of us goes down there to talk to them face to face I'd put the chances at 1000000 to 1.

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Walks around the chamber with her tricorder taking readings, and trying to find the instruction manual for the device.::

Host Lumina says:
%CSO: No, our science is benevolent, it is the Wraiths who are generating the Rift from the Planet Stormholme not far from your starship

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Raises an eyebrow.:: OPS: Never knew you were strong on statistics.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: It's a gift. ::Grins::

CSO_Sketek says:
%Lumina: I see. And you said that we can get back home if we get the inter-dimensional drive from them?

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: He probably guessed.

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: I don't guess. I know.

Host Lumina says:
%CSO: Yes that is correct. Here. ::Hands the CSO a device.:: If you need to contact me, this will open a portal back here, we are in protected space here.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Turns to SCI1.:: CMO: Do you have a better estimate then?

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: No, I was making fun of OPS. Sorry, Sir.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Nods and returns to CO seat.::

CSO_Sketek says:
%Lumina: This visit was interesting but I'm sure my crewmembers are already worried about us so we are going back now. I hope that our races will learn more from each other in the future.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: I'm getting a map of what looks like empire boundaries. One labeled Wraith and one labeled Lumina.

CEO_Rogers says:
@*CO* It would seem that the race that lived here was the Lumina until the Wraith arrived.. and they were the ones who made the device we discovered.

Host Lumina says:
%CSO: You may go as you came... in peace. ::Smiles.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Immediately stands up and walks to OPS station.:: OPS: Interesting, let's see it.

CSO_Sketek says:
%TO: Let's go back. ::Steps back into the portal.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Walks to OPS as well.::

TO_AlThor says:
%::Follows CSO.::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Pulls up the map with a few hits on blinky lights [tm].::

FCO_Durron says:
::Decides to continue his scans of the portal.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CEO* Good work, keep digging. Still no trace of our CSO?

Host Lumina says:
Action: The CSO and TO appear back on the planet.

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: CSO and TO are back.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: I'm getting readings that the CSO and TO are back.

CEO_Rogers says:
@*CO* They just came back through, captain.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CEO* Thank you. *CSO* Report back here immediately.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Want me to beam the team back up?

CSO_Sketek says:
@*CO*: Lt. Sketek reporting. We have made a contact with an alien race called Lumina and they are willing to help and guide us.

Host Lumina says:
Action: In the CSO's right hand is the Lumina Amulet.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO* OK. Will it be best to discuss it on the planet?

CSO_Sketek says:
@*CO*: I have no further business here. Of course I must ask other AT members if they have research unfinished here.

Host Lumina says:
Action: The portal to the Lumina's new homeworld remains open.

CSO_Sketek says:
@AT: Would you be ready to be beamed back to the ship or do you have research in progress?

CTO_Senek says:
::Examines the Lumina/Wraith map.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO*: Lt. Will you want me to join you on the planet, otherwise report back to the ship.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Finishes off his coffee and throws it back into the replicator from his seat.::

CEO_Rogers says:
@::Stops her scans of the writings on the wall - the Lumina will help with how to operate the device for sure.::

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: Nice shot.

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Get a lock on the away team.

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: Thanks. I guess I should have considered a career in basketball.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Ok. ::Locks onto the AT.::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Lock established.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Shuts down his tricorder and waits.::

CSO_Sketek says:
@All: ::coughs:: Are you ready with your research?

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CEO* Thank you.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CSO*: Lt. Will you want me to join you on the planet, otherwise report back to the ship.

CTO_Senek says:
::Goes back to tactical.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Beam them up.

Host Lumina says:
Action: The away team returns to the Andromeda.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Steps off from the transporter pad and goes to turbolift.::

TO_AlThor says:
::Heads to the turbolift.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*AT*: Report to the bridge.

CSO_Sketek says:
*CO*: On my way.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Exits the transporter room and heads for the turbolift.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CMO: Please stay on SCI1 for a while yet.

CTO_Senek says:
CO: Sir, transporters detected an alien object in CSO's hand.

CMO_Mercz says:
CO: Alright.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge!

FCO_Durron says:
::Exits the transporter room and starts for the turbolift.::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Looks at the map a little more and then thinks about another cup of coffee.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Arrives to the bridge.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Please download the map to the computer in my ready room.

FCO_Durron says:
::Arrives on the turbolift.:: TL: Bridge!

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Let's go to my ready room.

TO_AlThor says:
::Exits the turbolift and moves to tactical.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: As you wish. ::Follows CO to Ready Room.::

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: OK. ::Uploads the map to the computer.:: It's ready and waiting.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Opens the door and walks in.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Exits the turbolift on the bridge.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Arrives on the bridge.::

Host Lumina says:
Action: The OPS officer's hands are badly shaking.

CMO_Mercz says:
ALL: Welcome back.

FCO_Durron says:
::Takes his seat at the conn.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Glances at Will.:: OPS: Will... are you alright? You're shaking...

CSO_Sketek says:
::Before going to the ready room leaves the Lumina object to CTO for scanning.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Takes the Lumina object.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Before the door closes.:: CEO Please join us too. Everyone else return to duty.

OPS_Rogers says:
Self: That's odd... ::Shakes his hands all around.:: CEO: Oh it's nothing. Just a little caffeine high.

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: I suggest you go to sickbay.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Glances at Will again, and then goes to the Ready Room.::

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: I'm fine.

CTO_Senek says:
::Scans the object and tries to determine what it is.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::In ready room waiting for captain to speak.::

TO_AlThor says:
CTO: The Lumina said that this object will produce a portal to them.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Wonders what she was called to the Ready Room for.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Enters the Ready Room, and waits for the captain.::

FCO_Durron says:
OPS: And just how many cups of coffee did you have?

CTO_Senek says:
TO: Thank you.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Waits till the doors close.:: CSO: What made you decide to go through the portal without consulting me first?

OPS_Rogers says:
FCO: Only 10. I'm trying to cut back.

FCO_Durron says:
OPS: Ok... you sure you’re ok?

OPS_Rogers says:
FCO: I'm fine. ::Twitch, twitch.::

FCO_Durron says:
OPS: Whatever you say.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I was the commanding officer of the away team and also the science officer. I had tactical and engineering officer on the site and they couldn't see any other way than to walk through the portal.

CTO_Senek says:
::Puts away the communications device.:: TO: It sure looks impressive. Could you tell me more about these people and their relations with the Wraiths?

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: Please go to sickbay, I can overrule you if I have to.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Decision accepted. Another time, however, please report to me before doing anything similar. ::Relaxes a bit.:: What did you find out then?

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: What's wrong? It's just coffee. It'll wear off in time.

TO_AlThor says:
CTO: They are at war with the wraiths, the Lumina follow order and the Wraiths follow chaos.  Apparently they were once the same race but when they evolved into energy they split apart.

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: Caffeine is a drug!

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I encountered energy beings who call themselves Lumina. They are like Wraiths but they're peaceful. They offered us some valuable guidance.

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: It's not like it's going to hurt anything.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: The anomaly in our universe is caused by a device on a nearby planet. The anomaly is constantly growing so it's our obligation to destroy the device.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO, CEO: Yes, we received a map. ::Walks to her computer terminal and calls up the map.:: I would like both of you to look at it and see if it recalls anything.

CTO_Senek says:
TO: Interesting... however, looking at this map they provided us, it seems that the Lumina are winning (they have surrounded the Wraiths), but one could think that a race dedicated to chaos and destruction would be more suited to warfare than a race dedicated to arts and science.

CMO_Mercz says:
*CO* Sorry, for interrupting but OPS has had way to much coffee and he won't go to sickbay.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Looks at the map, but shakes her head...:: CO: Not really... What is it you’re wanting us to recall exactly?

TO_AlThor says:
CTO: That was my thought exactly, the Lumina appeared friendly but I don't trust them.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: Recall may be a wrong term, but I wanted to see if the map was familiar.

CTO_Senek says:
TO: What about the Lumina technology? How did it compare to our records of the Wraiths' technology?

Host CO_Kalla says:
*OPS* How much coffee have you been drinking?

OPS_Rogers says:
*CO* Just 10 cups. I normally have more, but I'm cutting back. The CMO is just being overly cautious. You were there while I had those cups.

TO_AlThor says:
CTO: From what I saw it is highly advanced and always benevolent.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I don't see any familiarities in that map although I can point out where the device causing the anomaly is.

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: He was shaking when I came on to the bridge...

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: I have to agree with the CSO, I don't see anything familiar about the map

OPS_Rogers says:
::Looks around and sees that it's his turn to sit in the comfy chair.:: Self: Oops... ::Lets Ens Smitty take OPS as he moves over to the big chair.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Excellent. Coordinate with FCO and let's go there. You have the bridge for now.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*OPS, CMO* You had better go to sickbay to check on OPS.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: One thing... this map seems to be unstable... the coordinates are changing…

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: You’re twitching, and your going to sickbay, that's an order!

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Changing?

CTO_Senek says:
TO: We'll see if they showed you everything.

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: I'm fine. I'm not hurting anything am I?

TO_AlThor says:
CTO: I just don't understand how a benevolent race can conquer a violent one.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Is it still possible to find the site of the anomaly?

CMO_Mercz says:
::Transfers transporter controls to SCI1 and beams OPS and self to sickbay.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Certainly. They're just minor corrections.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Leaves the Ready Room and arrives in the bridge.::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Mutters under his breath about Smitty not being able to hold onto controls.::

Host Lumina says:
Action: The CMO and OPS appear in sickbay.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: So how was the away mission for you? Anything to report?

CTO_Senek says:
TO: I'm thinking of the same thing. Perhaps the violent ones are concentrating solely on acts of destruction, while the benevolent ones are capable of improving their technology and so defeating their enemies.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Shakes her head.:: CO: Nothing that I didn't report already, captain.

TO_AlThor says:
CTO: Could be, I just wish we knew more about them.

CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Set the course for Stormholme.

CTO_Senek says:
TO: Me too.

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: Hurry this up.

FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Shouldn't we do something about the Sunrise first?

CMO_Mercz says:
::Grabs a hypospray and loads it with a counter agent, then administers it to OPS.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: Good. Good work taking over down there, lt. Dismissed.

OPS_Rogers says:
*Smitty* You'll need to go through some more holodeck simulations on keeping control of your station.

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: Thank you ma'am. ::Turns and leaves the ready room.::

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: Are we finished here?

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: You can now return to the bridge.

CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: What is there to do with it? It's an empty starship. Anyway I'm merely following captain's orders so you have to consult with her if you feel our course of action isn't optimal.

Host Lumina says:
Action: The caffeine in the OPS' bloodstream is neutralized and he stops shaking.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Collapses and blacks out.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Takes her place at engineering on the bridge, humming a song under her breath.::

FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Understood. Setting course now.  ::Lays in a course to Stormholme.::

Host Lumina says:
Action: FCO has plotted a course to Stormholme

CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Engage.

FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Aye. ::Engages at warp 2.::

FCO_Durron says:
CSO: What speed do you wish?

Host Lumina says:
Action: The Andromeda enters warp space, eta 1 hour, Stormholme is notably in Wraith space.

CMO_Mercz says:
MO_Caites: Help me, get OPS onto the biobed.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Hums a little tune called Lady Marmalade for some reason...::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Exits the Ready Room.:: CSO: Are we under way?

CTO_Senek says:
::Keeps scanning the surroundings for any Wraith activity.::

CMO_Mercz says:
<MO_Caites> Yes, Sir.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Monitors the engineering station while she hums.::

CMO_Mercz says:
*CO* OPS has fainted due to the counteragent.

CTO_Senek says:
CSO: We are 2 minutes away from the Wraith boundary.

CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: This speed is fine.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO: That device. I assume it was harmless?

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Yes, we are underway.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Verifies that the engines are working fine, but pales a bit when she hears the docs message to the CO.::

CTO_Senek says:
CO: Yes sir.

CMO_Mercz says:
::Administers another hypospray to OPS, to counteract the reaction.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO: Red alert. Issue hand phasers to all senior officers.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Goes to the science console.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Please ghost OPS station.

CTO_Senek says:
::Raises red alert.::

TO_AlThor says:
CO: There are Wraith on Stormholme

Host CO_Kalla says:
TO: Thank you.

CTO_Senek says:
::Prepares shields and weapons.::

OPS_Rogers says:
<Smitty> ::Goes back to his quarters.::

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.  ::Transfers ops control to himself.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Please tell me, do we need to go down on the planet?

CTO_Senek says:
::Makes sure that everyone on the bridge has a hand phaser.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Well, that is entirely depending on what kind of plan we make. The planet is class M so that's no problem.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Sees a bright light then feels something grab his ankles and he blinks his eyes.::

Host Lumina says:
Action: OPS is stabilized and groggy.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: The device you have. Do you know what it does?

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: What happened?

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: It is supposed to open a gate to the Luminas.

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: You had a reaction to the counteragent.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Puts the view of the solar system to the main screen.::

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: Oh joy... ::Sits up and hops off the biobed and staggers a bit.::

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: Please sit down while I run some tests.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Sits back down.:: CMO: Can I just get back to work?

CEO_Rogers says:
::Continues to monitor engineering and hopes that Will is alright.::

Host Lumina says:
Action: Main viewer depicts the solar system and the orbits of the 3 planets, and an asteroid field separating the 1st and the 2nd, there is a black hole on the far side of the system which tugs on the orbits

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: You’re still groggy and I want to make sure their wasn't any damage done.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Starts talking like Yoda.:: CMO: Fine I am... yes... mmm....

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: That black hole. Would that lead back to our normal universe?

CMO_Mercz says:
::Grabs medical tricorder and scans OPS.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I can do some scans but I wouldn't be too optimistic.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: OK.

CMO_Mercz says:
OPS: You’re fine, you can return to your duties.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Before we leave we might want to do something about the Sunrise.

OPS_Rogers says:
CMO: Thanking you I am... yes... mmm...

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Oh, are we leaving? ::Raises an eyebrow.::

OPS_Rogers says:
::Walks to a turbolift.:: TL: To the bridge I am going... yes...

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: The black hole isn't suitable for a ride to our universe. The people on 3rd planet are apparently using it as an energy source.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Interesting. What can you tell me about that planet?

Host Lumina says:
Action: The Andromeda is approaching the system, 20 minutes

FCO_Durron says:
CO: No Ma'am.  It is just that I thought we might sometime in the future return to our universe.  So I thought that before then we would want to do something about the Sunrise.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Arrives on the bridge.:: CO: Back duty on am I... yes...

CMO_Mercz says:
::Makes a note in Lt. Will Rogers' medical file that he is allergic to caffeine counteragents.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Noted.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Sits back in his chair and takes back control of his station.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Looks up at Will and sighs with relief.:: OPS: thank goodness, I was rather worried.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Thank you ma'am.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Turns to OPS.:: OPS: Got the grammatical reverse syndrome, you have, yes?

OPS_Rogers says:
CEO: Missing you I was... yes... Sickbay scary is...

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Effect of the medicine mild, yes...

CEO_Rogers says:
::Looks at Will funny.:: OPS: is something wrong?? You're talking funny...

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CMO* Are you sure, Lt. Rogers is fit for duty?

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: There are pyramid shaped structures on the planet which are most likely used to gather energy from the black hole.

OPS_Rogers says:
CEO: Medicine just is... yes...

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Any lifesigns?

FCO_Durron says:
CO: We are approaching the optimal point to disengage warp.

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Do so, please.

OPS_Rogers says:
CO: Blasting them from orbit we should... yes...

CEO_Rogers says:
::Shakes her head trying to make out what he just said.:: OPS: can you repeat that?

CMO_Mercz says:
*CO* Besides the speech problem, he has full motor control to perform his duties.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CMO* Thank you.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye. ::Disengages warp and engages impulse.::

OPS_Rogers says:
CEO: Medicine causing of this... yes...

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: There are lots of Wraith lifesigns down on the planet. I must say that the planet is very optimized for energy production.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO: Please issue hand phasers to all senior crew members.

CTO_Senek says:
CO: On my way.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Nods slowly:: OPS: Oh... I see... Hon... why don't I just take you back to the sickbay... I think the doc should give you another scan over...

CTO_Senek says:
::Goes to the weapon locker on the bridge and gives everyone a type II phaser.::

OPS_Rogers says:
CEO: Wearing off this will... yes... time just needed... yes...

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Walks over to CEO.:: CEO: It is ok, the doctor assures me he is fit for duty. Let's see how it goes.

Host Lumina says:
Action: Each Officer receives a hand phaser

CEO_Rogers says:
::Sighs and shrugs.:: CO: Well… as long as I don't have to live with him talking like that forever...

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Well, let's hope we do not need an away team to go down there then.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: I doubt it.

OPS_Rogers says:
CTO: Thanking you I am... yes...

FCO_Durron says:
::Transfers ops control back to that station.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::With her usual straight face.:: CEO: Otherwise you could always earn a bit extra teaching Rogerish.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Smirks at the Vulcan captain’s interesting humor.:: CO: That would be interesting.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: We must start thinking of a plan.

OPS_Rogers says:
::Pulls his other phaser out from under his console.:: All: Two phasers having I do... yes...

Host Lumina says:
Pause "Journey Into Mystery Part III"
