Scene: Our heroes have just emerged from the laboratory after retrieving the box and destroying the laser

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::stays close to the bear, attentive of his feelings and reactions::

Host Tropical Bear says:
::trotting alongside the CSO::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::fires to cover the CNS's exit::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::ducks behind a rock and looks back, ready to fire on any advancing robots::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
All: Let's run for the shuttle.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::is the last one to clear the smoke coming from the laboratory::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Gets to the shuttle and gets in quickly::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::pulls out a PADD and begins the Perseus' pre-flight sequence, then runs for the shuttle::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Captain, what will we do with the SeaBear? It has grown attached to us

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
Self: And I to him

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: As far as I understand, it is a native creature of this planet so we should leave it behind.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::shouting:: CNS: Come, Tal, hurry up! ::fires more shots at the robots::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Aye aye ...

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
~~~SeaBear: My friend, we must leave now. Thank you for everything. Is there anything we can do for your people?~~~

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::ducks into the Perseus and jumps into the pilot's seat, lifting the shuttle from the planet's surface::

Host Tropical Bear says:
Action: The laboratory shimmers and fades back into another dimension, the CNS is   wounded by the dimensional shock

XO: Can you carry him?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::holds the CNS:: CNS: Come, your safe, now.

Host Tropical Bear says:
~~~CSO: willing to come and explore on ship for a while and then be returned to his planet::~~~

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
CO: We still need to pick up the others! ::slowly flies over their escape route, low enough for the survivors to jump on::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Yes. Just pick up my bat'leh  ::Carries the CNS::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::takes the Klingon weapon::
XO: The Bear wants to come aboard. I'm not sure how to tell him he can't

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
:comes around for a moment::
XO: Rie...tha...you ::drops back into darkness::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
~~~SeaBear: I'm sorry but our rules don't let us take you. Perhaps some day your people will know the stars ::sends images of starfields::~~~

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Let him come with us.  The Captain will decide later.  I don't see any Prime directive issue, so, for the sake of gratitude, lets let him come aboard.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::sees the CNS collapse:: Self: I knew I should've taken up the rear..!

Host Tropical Bear says:
::smiles and eats berries::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::walks as fast as he can, holding the CNS on his back and the phaser rifle on the hands::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
XO: The Captain said no ::raises her eyebrows::
XO: But the Bear seems content to stay

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::hears what everybody is saying and thinking, nothing more that flashes but enough::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: We should now leave quickly. The CNS needs medical attention.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::briefly kisses the bear then runs to the shuttle carrying the XO's weapon::

Host Tropical Bear says:
::waves bye bye to his friends, and hugs the CSO::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Then you have your orders.  Thank the bear for all of us.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
~~~Bear: We will never forget you. Until next time my friend~~~

Host Tropical Bear says:
~~~CSO: Bye Bye~~~

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
CO: We need him onboard; can you transport him into the back?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: If you don't need me in the front I can stay with the CNS sir

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::arrives at the Shuttle with the counsellor::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::sees that everyone's onboard::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
All: Everyone, please observe the "fasten seatbelts" and "no smoking" signs have been turned on. Sit back and enjoy your flight.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::raises an eyebrow at the FCO::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::guns the impulse engines and heads for Andromeda::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:

::comes around again for a moment:: FCO: Andrews....

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::grabs a medikit and examines the CNS::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::over his shoulder:: CNS: We're getting you home, buddy. Stay with me!

Host Tropical Bear says:
Action: The FCO ignites the main impulse engines, which flame with hydrogen fusion energies, crackling in the morning air, sending the shuttle skyward

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
FCO: not...blame yourself....friend ::collapses again and feels himself fall deeper into the blackness of his own mind::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::grabs a stimulant and loads it into a hypospray, then gives it to the CNS::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::glances backwards and sees the CNS pass out:: Self: Too late, pal.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Diagnostic?

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
COM: Andromeda: This is the Perseus on approach. Clear Flight Deck 1 for immediate touchdown and prepare to depart the system.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::looks up at the XO::XO: Extensive neural trauma, he should be fine, once we get him with a real doctor

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
CO: Captain, what should we do about the Gemini? Should we assign a skeleton crew to bring her back to 50?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CNS: Come On Commander, can you hear me?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::applies some more stimulants to keep him awake::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::relives his memories and dreams, not knowing how everything will turn out::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Or at least an holographic one...

Host Andromeda Operations says:
*FCO* You are cleared for the main shuttlebay, landing strip one, med teams are standing by

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: We will have to analyse the Gemini situation when we get back.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
XO: Anyone better than a science officer

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
COM: Andromeda: You read my mind; the Counsellor's unconscious. He'll need a trauma team.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CNS: Commander? Can you hear anything?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::shakes her head::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::plots an approach vector::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::comes round:: XO: Rie.... ::looks around not able to see::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::sits back then goes back front:: XO: He is calling you sir

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Easy... You'll be fine in no time...

Host Andromeda Operations says:
Action: The shuttle emerges from the planet into orbit, the starship Gemini is in orbital formation with the Andromeda, the Andromeda's shuttlebay doors are opening

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CNS: You are almost home, sir

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
Self: This is going to be tight... ::guides the Perseus into the flight deck, still at impulse, barely keeping the ship from scraping the doors and the deck, then touches down::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::applies an electronic neurostimulant to the CNS's head::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO: Rie... Take this ::hands the XO his personal dagger:: Guard it for me ::pain shoots thru is back and he screams out of pain::

Host Andromeda Operations says:
Action: The shuttle touches down, and med teams arrive

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::gives the CNS a hypospray with an analgesic solution::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::gets up as the medics enter, she explains what she did::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::Grabs the dagger:: Self: A warrior's weapon!

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::sits back in the chair, then looks at the CNS::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO/CSO: Look after the CNS. FCO: We'll go to the bridge.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods to the CO::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Yes, Captain.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
CO: Aye sir. ::follows the CO::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Enters a turbo lift::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
XO: Is it standard issue for Andromeda officers to carry ancient weapons?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::hands him his bath'leth::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Ancient, yet efficient.  ::Holsters his bat'leh::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO/CSO: Why is everyting so dark and silent?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CNS: Soon you'll be handling the dagger yourself

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::looks over at the CO and exhales:: CO: Well, that was certainly an adventure.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CNS: You are safe now sir, aboard the Andromeda

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Indeed.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Enters the bridge::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
XO/CSO: someone, is there anybody. ::again he feels a lot of pain and then nothing:: I can not see you two or even hear you, but I feel you.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::walks down the ramp and to his station, apprising himself on Andy's condition::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::watches the medics working on the CNS::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::holds the CNS's hand without a word::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
CO: Sir, it appears the Gemini's crew have been resurrected, though their command crew's in critical condition, in their Sickbay.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::a tear roles down from his eyes and he presses the hand of the XO against his chest::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Very good.

Host Andromeda Operations says:
Action: The attending Senior physician takes the CNS into surgery

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Scan the system and see if the anomalies and curvature are still present.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::is forced to let go of his friend as he enters surgery::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::looks at the XO::XO: His condition is serious but I think modern medicine can take it

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::performs a sensor sweep:: CO: Sensors read normal. We're good to go.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Opens a communication channel to Gemini:: COM: Gemini: This is Captain Sketek from the Federation starship U.S.S. Andromeda. Please report your status.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: I agree. There isn't anything we can do for him, right now.  Let us head for the bridge.

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
*CO Sketek* This is Ensign Twinsoul in charge of the bridge Sir, some of our systems are down, all of the command crew and experienced officers are in Sickbay, Sir

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods:: XO: The Captain will want to know his condition as well

XO Commander Z’heta says:
*CO* The Counsellor was just taken into surgery. The CSO and I will return to the bridge.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Acknowledged.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::in his sleeping state he is trying to communicate with the XO and the CSO with his mind. Hoping it will work:: ~~~XO/CSO: thank you my friends, thank you~~~

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
<Dr Ocean>::working on the CNS, applies anaesthesia::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COM: Twinsoul: If you need any medical assistance, the resources of our ship are available.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
~~~CNS/XO: Next time it may be one of us and you will do the same for us.~~ ~

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
*CO* Um Sir, I am 1 month out of the Academy and I um really dont know what to do

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
~~~CNS/XO: It is logical. Get well Commander, we are all waiting for your return~~~ ::looks at the XO::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
~~~CNS/CSO: Rest Tal, you'll need your strength~~~

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::enters the TL::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::his mind goes to rest and so does his heart::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::steps in the TL after the CSO::  TL: Deck one!

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COM: Twinsoul: Please try to make sure that your senior crew will receive necessary medical treatment.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COM: Twinsoul: Surely there must be medical personnel on board.

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
*CO* The command crew are in stasis until we reach a starbase

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: It's good to be back, isn't it?

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods:: XO: Yes sir, but I must admit, I am not used to being on the bridge of a spaceship just yet

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COM: Twinsoul: Understood. Can you navigate and drive the ship to the nearest starbase?

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
*CO* Um no

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::looks at him:: XO: Perhaps you can give me some practical tips about the Andromeda's science department

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
XO: sir

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COM: Twinsoul: Is there anyone on board the Gemini who you think would be capable of driving the ship to the nearest starbase?

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
CO: We could send Winters over; she's the second best ship-trained pilot we have.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: I guess that would work.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CSO: Practical tips? Let's see... The CO is a former CSO, so just ask him and you'll have no stopping to your research, whether it's done in a lab or even if you want to launch a probe.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::raises an eyebrow at the XO::
XO: Fascinating. ::then smiles and leaves the TL as the doors open::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::looks back to Science 4:: Winters: Off you go, Ensign. Let us know how their drive's doing, we'll go in formation.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* What's your status?

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
*CO* I formally request a command officer from the Andromeda to take command ::reading his Starfleet manual::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::enters the bridge:: CO: The counsellor is under surgery.  We believe he's out of danger , but the full recovery may take some time.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
<Winters> FCO: Aye sir. ::moves to the TL and orders it to the transporter room::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::takes science one::

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
<Dr Ocean> ::stitches up the CNS::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: You are assigned to the U.S.S. Gemini and your orders are to take it back to the nearest starbase. One flight officer from Andromeda will beam there with you.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::analyses the latest data of what happened while she was with the CNS::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
<Winters> ::waits on the transporter pad for the XO, as instructed by the chief::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
COM: Twinsoul: We will beam the first officer of Andromeda and one flight officer to assist your ship. Our XO will take the command.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Yes, Captain.  Will Andromeda go with us to the SB?

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
XO: That is the plan.

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
*CO* Thank you Sir  ::thinks to himself, thank goodness::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
CO: Very well.  In that case the Gemini will follow behind, Sir.  FCO: Can you assign a pilot to go with me to the Gemini?

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
::the Dr. moves the CNS into recovery room where there are flowers waiting for him and cards::

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
XO: Ensign Winters is waiting for you in Transporter Room 1, sir. I told her to maintain formation for the return flight.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::runs a general diagnostic test of the main sensor array::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Plot a course to the nearest starbase.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FCO: Good! Thank you.  ::Leaves the Bridge, enters TL:: TL: Transporter Room 1

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::taps his console:: CO: Starbase 114, course plotted and laid in, sir. I'll forward it to the Gemini once Winters takes the helm there.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: All systems report fully operational, the quantum phenomenon seems not to have left any discrepancies

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
<Ens Winters> ::stands in TR1::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
::leaves TL and enters TR1::  FO: Ready to go?

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
<Ens Winters> XO: Aye sir.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
FO: Good. Transporter Chief: Energize!

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
<Transporter Chief Molecules> XO: Shaken not stirred ! ::energizes::

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
Action: The XO's team arrives on the Gemini, a little shaken, poor Molecules isn’t quite right in the head

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@<Ens Winters>  ::takes her position at the helm::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
FCO: Once you have relayed the course information, engage our warp engines.

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
XO: I surrender the bridge to you Sir ::sweating profusely::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: Our two officers arrived safely aboard the Gemini Captain

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::Materializes on the Gemini and salutes the Officer sent to escort the AT:: Twinsoul: I'm Commander Z’heta, 1st officer of the Andromeda. That is Ensign Winters, who'll take the helm.  Nice to meet you.

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::transfers the new course:: CO: Winters has the information. Engaging drive in three.

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
CSO: Good.

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::nods::

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
XO: If its all the same to you Sir, I'm um go back to the torpedo room

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::three seconds later, engages the warp drive, trusting that Winters is on top of things and will maintain close formation::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@<Ens Winters> XO: All set sir, ready to go

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
Action: The Andromeda appears to stretch in space from the Gemini's main viewer as she enters warp space and vanishes

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@Twinsoul: Very well. If we go Red Alert, I'll be sure to contact you  ::winks::

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
::keeps a sensor lock on the Gemini::

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
::enters TL and leaves::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@Winters: Ensign, plot a course to follow the Andromeda's lead.  Engage at your discretion.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@<Ens Winters> ::sees the Andromeda leave and races after her:: XO: Aye sir, olé. 

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@::Sits on the Big Chair of the Gemini, checking the systems::

Host Ensign Twinsoul says:
Action: The Andromeda's Ambassador class sister ship Gemini jumps into warp space heading for Starbase 114

CSO Ensign Saprin says:
CO: The Gemini is following us in perfect formation, our officers are doing a good job

FCO Lieutenant JG Andrews says:
::thinks to himself, 'Finally, some time to myself... and Mercy. I need a vacation.'::

Host CO Captain Sketek says:
::Nods at the CSO::

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
::starts to wake up and touches his commbadge:: *CO*: Captain do you hear me?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
@Winters: Let me now when Andromeda's out of warp.

CNS Lieutenant Commander Jordaïn says:
@<Ens Winters> XO: Aye sir
