Resume USS Andromeda "Deep Space Exploration" 10208.25
CTO_Senek says:
::Looks around a bit restlessly::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
::looks at the CO and blinks her emerald , crystal eyes and smiles::
CEO_Martin says:
::scanning the area with a tricorder for tech, still marveling at the beautiful city::
FCO_Durron says:
::looks around and feels worried about something::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: Well I should be going home now
CTO_Senek says:
::Gets closer to CEO and speaks quietly:: CEO: Have you been able to determine their state of technological advancement?
Host CO_Sketek says:
Crystal Girl: Can I talk to your parents or the people who you are going back to?
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: Sure I'll take you to them, come along Rover ! <Rover> Ruff!
CEO_Martin says:
::glances back at the CTO:: CTO; I'm still scanning the area...
Host CO_Sketek says:
AT: Let's go with them.
FCO_Durron says:
::nodds and looks around again::
CEO_Martin says:
::nods, and follows after the CO and the crystal girl::
CTO_Senek says:
CEO: Ok, I'm just curious... These buildings are quite impressive, and yet they apparently didn't detect our ship or our beamdown.
Host Crystal_Girl says:
::runs off to the ruined building where she first appeared from with her dog in tow::
CTO_Senek says:
::Follows the others, looking at the surroundings::
FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the clean streets than follows the rest keeping an eye on the area behind the group::
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Follows the girl into the building::
CEO_Martin says:
CTO: you can't say that for sure yet, and these buildings really are quite sophisticated....but there aren't any kinds of transport-like things around...
CTO_Senek says:
::Enters the building::
FCO_Durron says:
::looks inside the building but stands outside the door looking up and down the street::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: The crystal girl enters a room of highly sophisticated interlocking crystals of various colors , she seems to be looking for a door, when she doesn't find it , she becomes frightened::
CEO_Martin says:
::still following the CO and the girl, as they have entered the building::
CEO_Martin says:
::makes some notes on the vehicles in the area on a padd, and takes a look at the room::
FCO_Durron says:
CO:I will remain here and watch this doorway...with your permission sir?
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Looks around at the crystals, is curious::
CTO_Senek says:
::Tries to adjust his tricorder to register the crystal beings' life signs better::
Host CO_Sketek says:
FCO: Permission granted.
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: I....umm where is the door? ::looks scared::
FCO_Durron says:
CO: thank you
Host CO_Sketek says:
Crystal Girl: I don't know this place. I do not know.
FCO_Durron says:
::stands outside the door and looks around than steps forward to examine one of the vehicles::
CEO_Martin says:
CO: this looks like a science lab of sorts...
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: I cant get back to my parents....::sits down with her head in her hands::
Host CO_Sketek says:
Crystal Girl: Is there any way you can contact them?
CTO_Senek says:
::Scans one of the data crystals::
CEO_Martin says:
::pulls out her tricorder again, then hesitates, it might be rude to take scans of their science info without permission::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: I can't get home!
FCO_Durron says:
::looks at the controls to attempt to figure them out in the event that transportation is necessary::
Host CO_Sketek says:
Crystal Girl: Where is your home?
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: We live in another place
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: As the FCO touches the vehicle it comes to life
FCO_Durron says:
::jumps back than looks at it again with renewed respect::
FCO_Durron says:
self: nice..
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: There is an archive of variously colored crystals on one side of the science lab and in the center of the room there is a device which appears to accept crystals
CTO_Senek says:
::Tries to detect any nearby crystal beings::
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: Can you make any sense out of these crystals?
CEO_Martin says:
::glances at the crystals on the wall...and then at the device at the center of the room:: CO: I think I can make some sense of it - but do you think we should?
FCO_Durron says:
::pulls a tricorder out of his pack and looks for the control panel:;
CEO_Martin says:
CO: the crystals are like data disks...the device over there is for reading them...I think
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: Well, we can examine the science bits later but right now this girl needs to get home.
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: So are the crystals any way related to transportation?
CEO_Martin says:
::nods::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
::looks concerned and scared::
CEO_Martin says:
::scans the crystals:: CO: I can't say for sure...
CEO_Martin says:
CO: over there ::points at the far wall:: there’s a star chart
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Looks at the wall:: CEO: Interesting.
CTO_Senek says:
::Wonders why is this whole city almost empty::
CEO_Martin says:
::walks over to the wall and takes a closer look::...CO: it's over the Andromeda galaxy
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: I don't know how to work this, I want my mommy ::sad::
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: Yes, it seems so to me as well. But how to use the transport mechanism?
CTO_Senek says:
::Starts looking at the data crystals again to find out if any of them contain information on transportation::
CEO_Martin says:
::takes another look around the room, scanning with her tricorder:: self: interesting...
CTO_Senek says:
CO: Look at those.. those silvery crystals are about transportation methods, and the purple ones are about navigation.
CEO_Martin says:
::walks over to the news crystals and looks closer::
FCO_Durron says:
::begins mapping the car's electrical impulses.::
CTO_Senek says:
::Scans one of the silver crystals::
CEO_Martin says:
::raises her eyebrows in surprise:: CO: these people are older than the Iconians!
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: I think "ancient" is belittling if that is the case. They are truly old race.
Host CO_Sketek says:
CTO: The question is, can we use them safely? And if we can, do we know where we will end up?
CEO_Martin says:
::nods at the CO, and glances in the girls direction:: CO: what should we do about her? she looks so sad
CTO_Senek says:
CO: I can't answer either of those questions, yet. I'm trying to get more information on them.
Host Crystal_Girl says:
::walks over to the archive picks up a gold crystal and puts it in the machine in the center:: Action: The girl begins to play a game which looks like solitaire
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: There's not much we can do with her except to try to make her feel safe.
CEO_Martin says:
::looking over the girls shoulder at the machine, and notices a crystal stuck in it:: CO: sir, there seems to be a cracked crystal stuck in the device here...
CTO_Senek says:
::Moves over to the star chart::
CEO_Martin says:
CO: this crystal is one that’s used for travel...maybe that’s why she can't find this door she's talking about
Host Crystal_Girl says:
<Rover> ::chewing on a crystal in the corner::
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: Does it look like it would be unintentional and perhaps the reason for the door not working?
CEO_Martin says:
::nods at unintentional:: CO: looks like it's just an old crystal, and that is cracked because it was so old
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: Is there any way we could replace it?
CTO_Senek says:
::Goes back to the silver crystals and tries to determine their contents::
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: For example spare parts here`?
FCO_Durron says:
::pokes his head back in the room:: CO: it dosn't look like there is much more that I can do out here ma'am. There is a vehicle out here that I would like to experiment with. sir?
CEO_Martin says:
::looks around the room:: CO: if we can find a matching crystal, and pull the cracked one out, I believe we could replace it, yes
Host CO_Sketek says:
FCO: You are free to conduct experiments.
CTO_Senek says:
CEO: All the transportation crystals appear o be over here.. just match the star charts.
CTO_Senek says:
<o = to>
FCO_Durron says:
CO: thank you sir...I will be back presently
CEO_Martin says:
::pulls out her tricorder and scans the cracked crystal, then goes to the rows of transportation star chart crystals and scans them for a match:: CTO: thank you
FCO_Durron says:
::walks up to the car grinning like a kid in a candy store::
CEO_Martin says:
::pulls a crystal from the rows, and goes back to the device, carefully setting the crystal down, and attempts to pull the cracked one out::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
::looks at the CO with her innocent crystal eyes:: CO: Will you help me get home?
Host CO_Sketek says:
Crystal Girl: We are trying our best. We will find a way.
CEO_Martin says:
CO: this crystal I have here is a match, but I don't know if I can get the cracked one out....::still trying to pull it out::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: The cracked crystal comes out easily
CEO_Martin says:
::pulls it out, and smiles:: self: okay, that was easier than it looked
CTO_Senek says:
Crystal_Girl: Did you come here with your parents?
FCO_Durron says:
::opens the car's door and ducks in than puts his hand on the steering wheel...than begins looking for a throttle control::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: The dog grabs the cracked crystal from the CEO and begins to chew on it, as if he was allowed by his owners to chew on cracked crystals
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CTO: Yes we lived here for awhile before we all left
CEO_Martin says:
::looks at the dog with surprise:: dog: well, you certainly know how to get what you want...::takes the replacement and puts it where the cracked one was before::
CTO_Senek says:
Crystal_Girl: Why did you all leave? Is there something wrong with this place?
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: A door opens on the far side of the room to what appears to be the crystal girl’s homeworld
FCO_Durron says:
::remembers something he saw on an old movie once and looks on the floor and notices a control than touches it with his foot::
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: Where is that door leading to in federation terms?
FCO_Durron says:
::looks up at the street to see if there is any movement::
CEO_Martin says:
::goes over to the chart on the wall:: CO: we should be able to figure it out on here...
FCO_Durron says:
::touches the control a little harder this time without looking down::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CTO: My parents thought the sun was going to explode
CEO_Martin says:
::points to a sector in the center of the Andromeda Galaxy:: CO: here, they seem to have a colony there
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Looks at the star chart:: CEO: I see.
CTO_Senek says:
Crystal_Girl: Did they say when is that going to happen?
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CTO: Well, after we all evacuated the sun started to behave itself
FCO_Durron says:
::looks out the window and notices that the car seems taller and nods to himself than looks back at the dash for some sort of gear shift::
Host CO_Sketek says:
CTO: The door is here. Do you think it's safe to use it?
CEO_Martin says:
CO: or rather, this city is a colony - the city through the door looks more like a major city in a galactic federation or empire
CTO_Senek says:
Crystal_Girl: I see...
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: I understand.
CTO_Senek says:
CO: I think we'd better wait a while. I'd rather study the history of this colony more before we use this gate.
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: The dog sees a crystal squirrel on the other side of the doorway and chases after it, instantly appearing on the other side in a park of some sort
CTO_Senek says:
CO: The girl told that her parents thought the sun of this system was going to explode. That's why this planet is empty.
CTO_Senek says:
CO: After everyone had left, the sun became stable again.
FCO_Durron says:
::shrugs and turns the steering wheel streetward than touches the floor mounted control again::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Rover!: You bad dog ::runs after the dog and appears on the other side::
CTO_Senek says:
CO: I don't know if it's this transportation method of theirs that causes weirdness in space-time around this system, but I wouldn't take any risks.
CEO_Martin says:
::looks after the girl:: CO: almost like some sort of a small...personal wormhole of sorts...
Host CO_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: Whatever it is, we will see what is on the other side as there is no direct proof of danger.
Host CO_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: Follow me.
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Walks to the door and steps in::
CTO_Senek says:
CO: I recommend we leave someone on this side of the gate.
CEO_Martin says:
::nods and follows the CO through the door::
CTO_Senek says:
Self: Too late...
CTO_Senek says:
::Follows the others::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: The CO appears on the other side of the gate with the CEO and the CTO in a world made entirely of crystal, the little girl is petting her dog near a crystal tree
CEO_Martin says:
::frowns:: self: this looks very familiar...
Host CO_Sketek says:
CTO: The FCO is on the other side.
CTO_Senek says:
CO: I don't think you should take risks like this before consulting your security officer.
FCO_Durron says:
::feels the car ease away from the side of the street and begins to get the hang of the car::
CTO_Senek says:
CO: And he doesn't know we're gone.
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: There are millions of crystal beings walking around of all walks of life, young , old, male and female
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: Even the animals are made entirely of crystal
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Looks around in the crystal world::
CEO_Martin says:
::takes a look around and gasps in amazement::
FCO_Durron says:
::takes the first right than the next and the next and the next to find himself back on the same street where he parks the car and gets out than heads into the room where everyone was::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
Action: The world is very similar in design to the colony world , according to tricorders the away team is now in the Andromeda Galaxy (except for the FCO)
CTO_Senek says:
CO&CEO: Now we should try and find the girl's parents..
Host Crystal_Girl says:
::comes up to the CO and gives him a hug:: CO: Thank you ::smiles::
FCO_Durron says:
::looks around and notices a lack of other people and begins to worry:: *Andromeda* can you locate the CO and their away team I have become separated.
Host CO_Sketek says:
::Is a bit puzzled but manages to say something in return:: Crystal Girl: You're welcome.
FCO_Durron says:
::looks suspiciously at the doorway::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: You have funny ears ::smiles::
FCO_Durron says:
::looks at the people on the other side of the doorway and suddenly becomes more worried::
Host CO_Sketek says:
Crystal Girl: All species are unique.
FCO_Durron says:
CO: can you hear me?
Host CO_Sketek says:
Crystal Girl: Can you tell me, where are your parents?
CTO_Senek says:
::Hears FCO::
Host Crystal_Girl says:
CO: Yes lets go meet them ::holds the CO's hand:: CO: This way
FCO_Durron says:
*Andromeda* never mind I found them
CTO_Senek says:
::Walks back to the door:: FCO: The gateway appears to be safe.
CEO_Martin says:
::still looking around in awe:: CO: this place...there's no sign of pollution anywhere - yet it's so industrialized....
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO: Not all technology equals to pollution.
FCO_Durron says:
CTO: Sure and how in the blazes did you figure that out?  walk through it? ok I will stay here someone with a whit of command experience should stay in contact with the Andromeda and I doubt that we want to leave this control thing alone
Host CO_Sketek says:
CEO/CTO: Let's follow the girl. The FCO can stay in the other side in case contact is needed.
CTO_Senek says:
FCO: Our CO just walked through it.
