Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Begin USS Andromeda "Sorcery" Part I 10109.16.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Walks out from the hut where she spent the night.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Still sits in front of the portal, staring at it. Looking down, he shifts the signal frequency on the transceiver and sends another signal into the portal.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Breathing the fresh air.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Analyses collected data from the Iconian device.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Exits the medical tent and looks at the sky then at the bustle of the camp and shakes his head.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Walks to CIV and looks at the device.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Notices the weather is beautiful this morning.:: *All* Let's assemble in front of the hut for breakfast.

CTO_Senek says:
CIV: What do you think of.. that thing? I have a bad feeling about this..

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Portal is now completely undetectable to sensors and technology.

EO_Z`heta says:
*CO*: At once, ma'am.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Checks that all chairs have been set out round the light-weight table.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Walking to the hut.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Hears the CO and tries to figure out which hut she means and just goes to the mess hut.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Heads for the hut.::

CIV_Deimon says:
CTO:I don't know Senek. I can't get a signal through it, a reading from it, all I get from it is the same thing you do... a bad feeling...

EO_Z`heta says:
::Grabs his PADD and walks towards the hut.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: Dawn's rays grace the landscape with pink as the workers begin to rebuild the colony and exit the mess hall; marines are mulling about as shuttles fly overhead.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Meets CIV and CTO on the way.:: CIV/CTO: Good morning.  I couldn't help feeling your apprehension... Are you ok?

CIV_Deimon says:
::Stands, setting the transceiver to monitor communications and continue random frequencies and wait till one doesn't bounce off, Deimon heads for the mess hut.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The new OPS officer beams down to the surface and reports to the CO.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Sits at the round table.:: All: Please have a seat.

CTO_Senek says:
EO: Yes.. it's all about that portal.

FCO_Durron says:
::Hears the shuttles and looks up and looks disappointed, then looks around in front of the mess tent, turns around and sees the other hut and heads for it.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Arrives at the table and takes a seat.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Nods at the CTO and then takes a seat.::

CIV_Deimon says:
EO: What are your thoughts on this..  thing?

Host CO_Kalla says:
All: Help yourselves to some food. We don't know when we next get the chance.

FCO_Durron says:
::Arrives at the table, sees that everyone is sitting and finds a seat.::

OPS_Joseph says:
CO: Captain Kalla, My name is Ensign Michael Joseph, I've been ordered to report to you as your new Operations officer.

EO_Z`heta says:
CIV: I suppose that on the other side there's nothing hazardous, otherwise the Gorns wouldn’t be so interested in going there...

CIV_Deimon says:
::Picks up a plate making his way over to spoon up several breakfast items, including oatmeal and a bagel.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Gets up and faces Ensign Joseph, salutes him.:: OPS. Welcome. I was not sure you would make it in time. Here is the command crew of the USS Andromeda. ::Turns round.:: All: This is Mr Joseph, our new OPS officer.

CTO_Senek says:
EO: It might be just the opposite. The Gorns had quite a legion out here.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Nods to OPS.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
OPS: Welcome onboard, if I may say so. Have a seat and some breakfast.

FCO_Durron says:
::Waves in the general direction of the new ops officer then starts looking for food.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Turns away from EO and greets OPS.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Looks back at the new ops officer and then turns back to his food.:: EO/CTO: Exactly, maybe a hazard is exactly what they wanted...

OPS_Joseph says:
CO: Thank you, sir.

EO_Z`heta says:
CTO: You have a point, Sir. ::Looks  at the new OPS and compliments him with a head gesture.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
All: And while I am standing up. I would ask Ensign Z'heta to join me.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Puts hand in her pocket to check, yep they are there.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Rises and goes over to the captain.:: CO: Yes, ma'am...

FCO_Durron says:
::Continues to look around and finds a container of coffee and pours himself a mug.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: Attention, Ensign.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Stands at attention.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Sits down and grins at Z’heta.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: For your diligence and hard work I hereby promote to Lieutenant Junior Grade. ::Takes out one open pip and puts it on Z'heta's collar.:: Congratulations, Lt.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Salutes the captain.:: CO: Thank you, Sir!

Host CO_Kalla says:
Lt. Z'heta: Keep up the good work, Lt. At ease and have a seat.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Goes back to his seat and eats.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Raises his cup of coffee to the new lieutenant.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Congratulates Z'heta and gets something to eat.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Looks out over the table, then focuses on CIV Deimon.:: Lt. Deimon: Front and center, Lt.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Nods at the OPS and thanks him.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Raises eyebrow, stands and walks around the table to take his place in front of the captain at attention.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CIV: I suppose you know why you are here. ::Tries to look stern.::

CIV_Deimon says:
CO:I have about three possibilities in mind, ma'am ::Utilizes a little Vulcan stoicism.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Snow Bear shows its face round the corner of the hut, looking in at the CIV.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Looks at the snow bear.:: CIV: Well, let's see if you have guessed correctly.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CIV: For your diligence and hard work I hereby promote to Lieutenant Commander. ::Takes out one open pip and puts it on Deimon's collar.:: Congratulations, Commander.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Hears a small grown and suddenly looks a little nervous.::

CIV_Deimon says:
CO: Thank you, ma'am. ::Smiles.::

CIV_Deimon says:
CO: If you…

Host CO_Kalla says:
CIV: It is deserved. Please have a seat.

CTO_Senek says:
::Takes a worried look at the bear.::

CIV_Deimon says:
…'ll excuse me, ma'am, I have a sudden feeling, I need to run.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CIV: No, I believe you are safe here.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Salutes the new Lt. Commander.:: CIV: Congratulations, Sir.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Coughs.:: CO: Of course. ::Nods again with a smile and makes his way around the table, looking over at the bear whose head is poking round the hut and nervously takes a seat.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Drinks from his mug of coffee.::

CTO_Senek says:
CIV: Congratulations, sir.

CIV_Deimon says:
EO: Thank you, Lt. ::Salutes him back and smiles.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Snow Bear sticks his tongue at the CIV.

Host CO_Kalla says:
All: Well, as soon as you have finished eating we will go through the portal. CSO: Have we any idea what is there?

FCO_Durron says:
CIV/EO: Congratulations.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Nods at the FCO.::

CIV_Deimon says:
CTO/FCO: Thank you, Senek. And you, Mr. Durron... ::Looks back at the bear and grins sideways.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Absolutely no idea.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Salutes the bear.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CIV: I realize that I ordered you to deal with comm equipment. You will maybe be so kind as to introduce Mr Joseph to it?

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Bear Smiles.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Very well, thank you.
All: Those of you who do not yet have a hand phaser can get one from CTO.

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: Any idea of how this thing works?

EO_Z`heta says:
::Looks at CIV Deimon and at the bear.::  Self: Strange...

CIV_Deimon says:
Bear: Hopefully I'll see you again... friend?

CIV_Deimon says:
::Turns to look at the captain and the new operations officer.::

CIV_Deimon says:
OPS/CO: Of course.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
<Snow Bear> ::Offers paw.::

CIV_Deimon says:
CO/OPS: Just a moment.

OPS_Joseph says:
::Walks over to the CTO.:: CTO: I believe you're handling the firearms?

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: I'm afraid not, ma'am...  Our sensors have stopped revealing anything about the portal.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Looks at the bear in - uh - astonishment.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Walks away over the edge of the hut and touches the bears paw.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: Thank you.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Gets a phaser from tactical.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO: Anything else we should bring?

CTO_Senek says:
OPS: Yes.

CTO_Senek says:
CO: As the risks are unknown, I don't think that we can prepare for them very well.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
<Snow Bear> ::Shakes hands, and heads to the Marines tent where the officers have been feeding him.::

OPS_Joseph says:
CTO: May I request one?

CTO_Senek says:
OPS: Come with me. ::Leads OPS into a Marine armory hut.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Grabs a hand phaser and his tricorder.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Checks his phaser rifle that he has been carrying around for far to long but it still says it has a full charge.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Walks back to the ops officer and listens to his conversation with Senek until he's done.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Stands up.:: CTO: I agree, we will have to take it as we go along.
All: Right, let's go. ::Walks to the portal.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Follows the CTO.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The portal drifts in mid air.

CTO_Senek says:
::Takes hand phasers for everyone who needs one and distributes them.:: OPS: Here.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Checks her own phaser, it is still set to heavy stun, suits Kalla fine.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Empties the mug of coffee and grabs a  bit of food off the table and eats it without paying much attention to it. ::

OPS_Joseph says:
CTO: Thank you ::Takes the phaser, checks the settings, and the holsters it.::

CTO_Senek says:
OPS: I hope that we won't need them..

Host CO_Kalla says:
*Paladin, USS Liberator* We are entering the portal now.

OPS_Joseph says:
CIV: You needed me?

FCO_Durron says:
CO: How are we going to advance through the portal?

CTO_Senek says:
::Looks at the portal, is worried.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
<USS Liberator> *Captain* Good Luck.

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: We walk through it.

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: May I suggest us sending a prove before we get in?

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: And where would you get one?

CIV_Deimon says:
::Picks up his bad with his padds, engineering tools, tricorders, and a phaser, walks over to the communications device, it's set to continue trying to find a signal that will detect and send through the portal and to send a message if it does, it's also set to boost any signal which might come from it, even though it might be fairly useless.::

FCO_Durron says:
CO: I meant in which order.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Stands and looks at the portal.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Ah, Well. I go first, then CTO, CSO, you, EO, FCO, OPS and CIV.

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: I can replicate a small probe that just sends a beep tone...

FCO_Durron says:
::Picks up his pack.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: All right. But make it fast.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: May I recommend that you do not go in first. It may me a hostile situation.

CTO_Senek says:
CO: I don't think that you should go first. Need I quote the Starfleet regulations?

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The EO successfully constructs a probe and returns.

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO, CTO: Neither of you need to quote anything. Let's see what the probe says first.

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: Launch it.

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: At once. ::Throws the probe into the portal.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Looks at the comm equipment, making some sense of its readings.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The probe bounces off the portal.

CTO_Senek says:
Self: Doesn't look like a portal to me..

FCO_Durron says:
CO: It would appear that the probe will not traverse the portal.

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Certainly. EO: Good idea though, Lt.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Looks very surprised...:: CO: Ma'am, I don't know what to say...

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: Do not worry. No fault of yours. Hefts her phaser again.
All: Well, we’ll just have to go through. ::Walks through the portal.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Picks up the hand size probe and keeps it.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The CO disappears.

CTO_Senek says:
::Follows CO immediately.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Follows the captain.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Tries to stop the CO and fails.::

CIV_Deimon says:
EO: Don't worry, it was this way with the last portals we encountered.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The CTO and EO disappear.

OPS_Joseph says:
::Follows after the EO.::

CIV_Deimon says:
Self: Here goes nothin'. ::Steps into the portal.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks annoyed, readies his phaser rifle and jogs into the portal.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The EO and CIV vanish.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Follows.::

EO_Z`heta says:
CO/CTO: Ma'am, Sir, does anyone hear me?

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The OPS vanishes.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Looks around and tries her comm badge.:: All: Can anyone here me?

CTO_Senek says:
::Takes his phaser, lifts it and looks around.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Looks around, phaser in one hand, tricorder in the other.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The crew arrives in a very odd, mystical dimension, they are standing on an island which is drifting in mid air, all around them are numbers and letters drifting by as well as mathematical formulas.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: No technology has been able to pass through the portal.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Looks around.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::An E=mc^2 comes extremely close to his head.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Notices that his comm badge and phaser have disappeared.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Goes to unholster his phaser, but sees it to be missing.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Notices her commbadge is not where it is supposed to be, checks her phaser - gone too.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Finds that the tricorder and phaser he was bringing to bear are no longer in his hands.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Looks down, his commbadge is missing.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Glances at the largest possible prime number, chuckles a little.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Kneels and tries to level his phaser rifle at something and finds it missing.  continues to look annoyed.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Tries to grab his tricorder and notices that it isn't there with him and neither is the phaser nor the probe.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Looks around, trying to make some sense out of the numbers and letters.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The laws of Physics do not apply here, water floats around without any gravity, boulders drift, numerous planets populate the horizon.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Looks around and tries to make sense of this, turns around to see if the portal is still there.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Jumps just a little to see if he floats.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The portal is gone.

Host CO_Kalla says:
All: Does anyone still have a tricorder?

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: No ma'am.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I don't think so.

FCO_Durron says:
::Closes his eyes and opens them again than looks behind him for the portal to get out of this mess.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Finding himself about 2 foot above the ground looks down at the captain.:: CO: No tricorder here...

Host CO_Kalla says:
All: Right. Let's evaluate. We are here, the portal is gone. Suggestions?

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: Numerous Drifting Meadows are connected and it is possible to leap from one to another, there is a large landmass nearby.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Looks around and stares at this illogical environment.:: Self: This reminds me of a human story called "Alice in Wonderland"...

FCO_Durron says:
::Now skips the annoyed look and goes straight to alarmed but figures his eyes are playing tricks on him and turns to look at the CO.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::The landscape shifts and she sees the landmass.:: All: Ah, wait. Let us see.. ::Walks ahead.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Mutters to himself about things not being right.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: Any previous wounds which any crew have had in the past are completely healed.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Jumps onto the first meadow.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Walks along beside everyone, still two foot off the ground, finds that his rather swim-like walking isn't as fast as being on the ground.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The CO jumps onto another meadow.

FCO_Durron says:
::Continues to close his eyes and open them again hoping this will just go away.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Standing still looking around.::

CIV_Deimon says:
ALL: Would someone get me down. ::Swims over everyone else, finding himself rising to four, then six foot over everyone.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Cautiously follows CO.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Tries to grab a hold of the CIV's arm.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The CO trips and falls... a drifting Number 1, rather sharp pierces her heart....

CTO_Senek says:
::Jumps to CO and looks at the wound.:: CO: Captain!?

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Darkness falls around her.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at everyone walking away from him and walks carefully to keep up.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: She doesn’t die.

CIV_Deimon says:
CO: Captain! ::Finds himself pulled down by the ops officer and sent flying right into the ground just in front of the captain, gets up and kneels down to her.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CIV: ::Looks at him.:: I am all right. ::Pulls out the number 1 and gets up.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Jumps to the first meadow and closes his eyes again.::

CTO_Senek says:
CO: Um.

CIV_Deimon says:
All: Where are we?

CSO_Sketek says:
EO: Does this look like an artificial construct to you?

OPS_Joseph says:
CIV: Somewhere where everything you've ever known is probably wrong.

Host CO_Kalla says:
All: I am all right. ::Walks onto the second meadow.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Notices that the leg he injured while chasing the tank is completely cured.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the sky thinks about trying to pilot a ship in that mess and then looks at the ground in front of him.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: In the distant landmass, a campfire is burning, and smoke is coming from it as if gravity works over there.

Host CO_Kalla says:
All: Look. ::Points at campfire and walks onto the third meadow.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Heads for the campfire.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Follows the CO.::

EO_Z`heta says:
CSO: I think it's artificial... 

CIV_Deimon says:
All: An alternate universe should still be governed by physics, so what is this?

CSO_Sketek says:
::Starts moving towards the campfire.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Has a feeling that it is further away than it appears but starts walking with everyone else.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CIV: It's governed by physics, but not as we know it.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO: An odd universe. ::Looks towards the fire. :: I would say we could move safely towards it.

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: As the crew moves towards the landmass, more numbers and chess pieces drift by as well as a few stopped clocks.

CTO_Senek says:
CO: Agreed. We can't really defend ourselves, but judging from your wound, we probably don't have to.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Grabs a chess piece flying by and follows after the captain and crew.:: All: Anyone up for a game? Maybe we'll have to play to get out of here...

OPS_Joseph says:
CIV: ::Points out.:: Look, it’s Avagadro's number.

EO_Z`heta says:
CSO: Sir, are you familiar with the human story named "Alice in Wonderland"?

FCO_Durron says:
::Watches the stopped clocks and then the chess pieces.::

CSO_Sketek says:
EO: Never heard of it.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Looks down at her chest. The wound has healed.:: CTO: Yes. it seems we are invulnerable.
 ::Walks onto the fourth meadow. Very near to the landmass now.::

CTO_Senek says:
CO: Let's hope so. ::Continues following CO.::

Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: As the crew approaches the landmass, gravity begins to work, they see an old man with a long white beard leaning on a staff drinking a can of Coke.

CIV_Deimon says:
OPS: Do you think all these numbers might have a pattern?

CSO_Sketek says:
::Looks at the man.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Walks onto the landmass and slowly approaches the old man.::

EO_Z`heta says:
CSO: This environment reminds me of that story... Physics didn't make any sense there and it was all a dream.

OPS_Joseph says:
CIV: That’s an interesting theory, but I have a feeling that in this place there’s an infinite number of possibilities.

CTO_Senek says:
::Approaches the man, trying to find out if he'll react.::

CIV_Deimon says:
OPS: There are infinite numbers...

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the numbers floating around than at the sky and feels not as well as might have been expected but keeps walking thankful for the gravity.::

Host Merlin says:
CO: Welcome Captain and well met.

CSO_Sketek says:
EO: Behind every phenomenon there is a rational explanation.

Host CO_Kalla says:
Merlin: I am Captain Kalla of the USS Andromeda. Thank you for your welcome.

OPS_Joseph says:
CIV: Ordered Chaos?

EO_Z`heta says:
CSO: I want to believe that, Sir. I was taught that way. But sometimes I have my doubts.

Host Merlin says:
All: Welcome to Limbo, the dimension which is between your dimension and the rest of the other dimensions.

CIV_Deimon says:
OPS: I've lived through it. Imagine a universe based on it.

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the old man and the coke can, then shakes his head.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Remembers the word Limbo as something ominous.:: Merlin: Limbo?

CIV_Deimon says:
Merlin: So I was right, we aren't actually in another universe.

CIV_Deimon says:
All; That's why this... place isn't governed by physics.

Host Merlin says:
All: I am Merlin, the Sorcerer and the Planeswalker, I have summoned you here for a purpose.

OPS_Joseph says:
CIV: So we are in the place that’s in nowhere and everywhere at once.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Looks at Merlin.:: Merlin: Summoned us? Did you open the portal?

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the old man and thinks about the name than wishes he had a padd.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Thinks.:: Self: Of all the sentient beings in the universe, this old man chose us...

EO_Z`heta says:
::Whispers.:: CIV: Perhaps, physics still applies here, but its laws aren't constant as time flows.

Host Merlin says:
All: Please be seated, Yes the Portal as you may guess is magical, the Iconian Artifact was destroyed ::Looks to EO .:: EO: That’s why your probe bounced off.

CTO_Senek says:
::Slowly takes a seat.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Looks surprised at Merlin.:: Merlin: How do you know I tried to send a probe? ::Sits.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Sits on what appears to be solid ground.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Sits down and looks determinedly at a single blade of grass... at least that is what he thinks that is.::

Host Merlin says:
Action: The fire which was in the campfire mutters and growls, and walks away.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Sits on the ground and looks at Merlin.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Ignores the fire.::

Host Merlin says:
::Sigh.:: Fire elementals, so temperamental.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Hesitates, then when she sees the fire walk away she decides to remain standing.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Looks after the fire.::

Host Merlin says:
EO: I can see with magical eyes.

FCO_Durron says:
::Promptly decides that this is all a holodeck simulation and begins looking around for something.::

Host Merlin says:
Captain: Behold.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Nods at Merlin and looks at the fire...::

Host Merlin says:
Action : A three dimensional map of the dimensions appears.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Cocks her head to one side and looks at the map.::

Host Merlin says:
All: Your dimension is called the Prime Material Plane, and all alternate universes based on your dimension are linked to it. ::Points.::

OPS_Joseph says:
::Looks at the map from where he is sitting.::

Host Merlin says:
All: In fact, all dimensions are anchored to the Prime Material Plane.

FCO_Durron says:
::Continues to remain seated but looks for an access panel, completely ignoring the old man and his map.::

Host Merlin says:
All: Here ::points:: Limbo surrounds the Prime Material Plane and is the border to the Outer Realms.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Leans over tapping Durron.:: FCO: Looking for something?

EO_Z`heta says:
::Pays all his attention to Merlin's words.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Thinks Merlin has too many screws loose on his head.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
Merlin: So from here we can access any dimension we want?

Host Merlin says:
All: As you can see, there is a realm which is ruled by the Necromancers, sorcerers who deal in death and reanimation.

Host Merlin says:
CO: Yes that is true.

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the CIV then continues to look around.:: Self: This cannot be real.  Must be a holodeck.

Host Merlin says:
CO: If you are a Planeswalker.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Shakes his head and looks back to Merlin, concentrating on noting all the details.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
Merlin: Not a quality which is common among Vulcans, I believe.

CTO_Senek says:
::Thinks.:: Self: I wonder if that old man is completely sane...

Host Merlin says:
All: The Necromancers are attempting to invade your dimension, and cut lose the Prime material plane from the other dimensions, creating Cosmic Destruction.

Host Merlin says:
All: You must be the champions of your dimension and stop the evil, I will grant you abilities since your technology could not follow you here.

FCO_Durron says:
::Closes his eyes again..::

EO_Z`heta says:
Merlin: But if they do that, what will they gain? Wouldn't they be destroyed as well?

Host Merlin says:
CO : Do you accept this honor?
EO: Necromancers would use the dead to create an army and legions of skeletons and ghouls.

CTO_Senek says:
Merlin: Are these... Necromancers, as you say, somehow related to the beings we know as Wraiths?

Host Merlin says:
CTO: The Wraiths and the Necromancers are Allies, yes.

Host CO_Kalla says:
Merlin: As my orders were to go through the portal and see what was there, I am free to act after my own perception of the situation. Yes I do.

Host Merlin says:

and CO: You will be a Planeswalker able to walk and open portals for you and your crew between dimensions.

CIV_Deimon says:
FCO: Stand up, this is more real that you can ever know...

CTO_Senek says:
::Is puzzled by all this.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Feeling weird as the universe suddenly starts to speak the thoughts of all minds around.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
Merlin: Any idea of the strength we will be facing?

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at CIV.:: Self: Got to get out. ::Hunches up and closes his eyes and starts repeating to himself "not real can't be real".::

Host Merlin says:
CO: You will be facing the legions of darkness, the living dead, all that is unclean and unholy ::Grim face.::

CIV_Deimon says:
Self: In all my years on this ship, I've seen a lot of crazy things, but this.... is.... awesome.... ::Gulps.:: Oh boy...

CTO_Senek says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Merlin.:: Self: This seems like.. a dream. Not the usual Vulcan-dream.

Host CO_Kalla says:
Merlin: I see.
CIV: Allow me to join you in that remark.

EO_Z`heta says:
CTO: ~~~I feel your thoughts and I share that dream feeling.~~~
