Host ACTD John Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Timewalker" 10601.22

Host ACTD John Sea says:
Summary: When last we left our heroes and heroine, they had encountered a monster in the lab

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
::Looks at the monster in the lab::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$::steps in front of the device to take to the avatar and looks at the new comer::

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Aloud: Grrrrrrrr, waves paws and glows a deep red emanating aggressive emotional waves

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
$CSO/XO: any idea what this is?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$CEO: It looks like a dark hand follower ... but I thought they had been destroyed with their planet

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CEO/CSO: Stand by to open fire!

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
$::Takes out phaser and aims it at the monster::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$::nods to the XO:: XO: My tricorder reads its a phase energy being. He won't be destroyed with conventional weapons

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: They were definitely humanoids from the Black Hand organization but it seems very weird that they have visited this planet in the Delta Quadrant.

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
<Monster> ::looks around at the carbon based life forms::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::aims and fires his hand phaser::

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: The whole incident seems quite weird to me.

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Action: The phaser pushes the monster back but doesn’t seem to injure it

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: The Black Hand organization we saw was entirely simulated. Whatever beings visited this planet, are probably not simulated.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CSO: Get us some other weapons.  See if the dog agrees.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::sets his phaser to kill::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
$XO: We can push the monster back for the time being

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$::nods slowly::
~~~ranger: Do you think we can use these weapons against the monster?~~~

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$Monster: stay where you are!

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
$::aims phaser at the monster::

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Action: The monster phases in and out of reality and smashes the remaining lights leaving everyone in darkness, the only light seems to come from the crystal dog

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Action: The dog shakes its head no, it has been told not to give access to the weapons

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::Activates the light on his phaser rifle::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$XO: He obviously disagrees with the use of these weapons. And the avatar did give us strict instructions

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: That connection makes this all the weirder in my opinion..

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Action: The phaser rifle generates a beam of light

CTO Commander Senek says:
CO: But I don't think we can find anything of importance here anymore. We have already searched this area quite thoroughly.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CSO: Understood  *CO* Captain, we’re fighting a monster, our weapons are ineffective. Can you persuade the Avatar to let us use his weapons, please, Sir?

CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* I will ask as soon as possible.

CO Captain Sketek says:
CTO: We must hurry back to the avatar.

CO Captain Sketek says:
::Starts running::

CTO Commander Senek says:
::Nods at CO and starts running too::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$::stays close to the phase discriminator::

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Action: The monster can be heard circling the group

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$*CO* Understood.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
$::constantly turning with phaser in hand::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$XO: The ship is still in orbit sir... perhaps they can help

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Action: The monster seems to be attracted to the phase discriminator

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::Keeps the beam on the monster::

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Scene: The CO and the CTO arrive at the Crystal Avatar chamber

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
$::Uses his tricorder to link up to the ship to request a phaser rifle be beamed down::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CEO/CSO: Let's get the phase discriminator and beam off.

CO Captain Sketek says:
Avatar: Our crew members have been attacked by a monster. They are in grave danger. Please, let us have your weapons so that we can defend ourselves.

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Scene: The CO and the CTO are soaking wet after having to make a mad dash through the fountain and ran through parts of it which weren’t illusion

CO Captain Sketek says:
Avatar: Or if you have some other way to help them, please help.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$COMM: Andromeda: This is XO Z'heta.  Stand by to an emergency beam up of 4.

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Action: One phase rifle begins to materialize next to the CEO; the monster sees the beaming effect, reaches its hand into the matter stream and eats the rifle while it is still energy

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$::Grabs the phase discriminator:: XO: Maybe they can beam us to the avatar's location

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$CSO: Open fire on the monster to distract it.  CEO: Grab the phase discriminator.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
$::jumps back:: All: woah

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
$::Grabs the phase discriminator:: XO: Now is the time to leave!

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$::gets a phaser as well and hands the discriminator to the CEO. Then starts shooting towards the creature::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$COMM: Andromeda: Now!

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
<Avatar> CO: My sensors indicate the creature is from a phase reality close to ours it is likely confused and hungry

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::opens fire:: CSO: Fire!

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$::fires::

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
Action: The AT opens fire on the monster pushing it back, it circles and moves into the darkness

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
<Avatar> CO: The creature must be sent home. once the phase discriminator is installed I can do that

CTO Commander Senek says:
Avatar: Where is it? How fast can we get it done?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
$::Tries to send a comm to cancel the beam out, but isn't sure that Andromeda will receive it::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
$::materializes on the Andromeda and notices the XO is gone::

Host Crystal Dog Ranger says:
<Avatar> CTO :My sensors indicate it is on your starship

CO Captain Sketek says:
*XO* Status?
