Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Away Team has been recalled to the ship by the Captain in order to have a staff meeting
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Andromeda is in geosynchronous orbit around Proxima Alpha One
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The crew is assembled in the briefing room
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: In the conference room, waiting for the others, staring out the small window.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::waits for his officers to arrive::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::walks into the briefing room::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: In the window she can see her husbands face.  There is something there that had not been before.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks over and acknowledges Lt. Power::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the CO::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The jungle world of Proxima Alpha One hangs in space below unwilling to give up its secrets
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Did the others say how long they'd be?  ::looks at his chronometer::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: They should be along shortly sir
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: With a sigh, she turns around and joins the others at the table.::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Looks over the data that had been collected and at his unfinished report.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The stars drift in silent reflection giving inspiration to explorer and poet alike
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Well, Mr. Power, I don't want to keep waiting for the others.  I'll trust that you'll find a reason as to why they're not here.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Slides the padds into a pile and turns his attention to the CO and the others around the table.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
All:  Let's begin.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  What can you report so far?
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Thanks the yeoman for the coffee and turns to listen.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: We still are unsure of what is happening down on the surface, but we have detected Romulan activity on the surface
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Do you believe they may have taken the missing archeologists?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Scowls at the mention of Romulans, being unsure whether SF still wants them to be declared as enemies or uneasy allies.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Based on the data we have its possible.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::turns to Sierra::  CMO:  What kind of progress has been made with the satellite we retrieved?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Andromeda orbits Proxima Alpha One a lone Federation Starship in this area of space, a silver emissary from the known worlds
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Recommend we consider the Romulans a s a possible threat and use caution while we continue our investigation.
 
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
CO: The satellite is in the cargo bay.  There are scientists and engineers working on it now.
 
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  I agree with your precautions.  Make sure all safeguards are in place.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye, Cap'n.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  So you haven't had a chance to assess it at all?
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
CO: You called the meeting shortly after retrieval.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Takes up a padd and jots down notes  to what any future away teams may need to take with them.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  With as excited as you get sometimes with new technology, I just assumed you would have checked on it.  But no worries, you'll get your chance.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Suggestions on how you'd like to proceed?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The spy satellite is in the main hanger bay and the Science Department and Engineers are working on it
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Lifts a brow at her husband's comment.::  ~~~~ CO: I could always disobey my captains orders.~~~~
 
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::keeps his sights on the XO::  ~~~CMO:  Not likely.~~~
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: I'd like to take a look at that satellite myself
 
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks down at the table a twinkle of humor in her eyes.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  For now, I'm going to assign the CSO and CMO to go over every inch of that satellite.  I'd like you and your team to go back down to the planet to see if you can gather up more information.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are 25 skeletons on the planet surface below cause of death still unknown, 25 remain unaccounted for
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The main temple on the surface below glistens in the sunlight
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: Aye sir, we'll head back down then
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks around the table::  All:  Any other suggestions/recommendations?
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
CO: A... clouded memory if you will.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
CO: The deaths of the scientists were not natural.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Recommend we maintain yellow alert, at least while the Romulans still have a presence near here, as well as security staff to accompany any away teams.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Which reminds me.  If you remember anything.....anything at all about the past year, I want to know about it right away.
 
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  Make it happen Mr. Knight.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Nods to his CO.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Do you have further findings as to what caused their deaths?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: When you are done, meet me in the shuttle bay
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
CO: I have not had the opportunity to look them over yet.  I am still waiting for them to be beamed aboard.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO/TO:  If neither one of you have anything further, you're dismissed to return to the planet.  Have one of the bodies transported up for the Doctor to look at.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the CO and heads out toward the shuttlebay::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: I'll have the transporter room beam up a body before I have the ship stand on yellow alert. ::Heads for the main tactical station and relays the order to beam a body to sickbay for analysis.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Spy satellite is suspended in a stasis field in the shuttlebay, several staff are working on it they have succeeded in disabling the cloak so it is visible
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: One of the skeletons is beamed to the quarantine room in sickbay
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: as the others leave, half teasingly:: CO: Do you want me in the cargo bay or medical?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::lowers his voice::  CMO:  Do you think a mindmeld would help unlock some of the memories you are starting to forget?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
*CMO*: You have a guest, Doctor. *CO*: I'll have equipment ready an' beamed down with me in a few minutes, Cap'n.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
CO: You wish another to mind meld with me?  You are probably better at searching my memories through our bond.  ::sighs::  Do not forget, we have altered time already.  What was before, will not be now.  :: buries that touch of fear.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*TO*:  Acknowledged.  Thank you Mr. Knight.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::walks into shuttle bay and loads up on some equipment::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Heads for the armory and then to the TR2 with gear for himself and the AT.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::throws his arms up::  CMO:  So what do you expect me to do Sierra, just forget about the past year?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The spy satellite has two solar panels to collect energy and a main computer core and an array of subspace antennae
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The cloaking device is inside the main casing next to the computer core
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Stands and moves closer to him, wrapping her arms around him.::  CO: No, but you could share them still with me.  You were there.  They are in my mind.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: In the CMO's mind's eye she sees a gem, bright orange and a gauntlet with spaces for 6 gems and a sense of evil
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*TO* Whats your location
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Suddenly pulls back from him with a slight gasp::
 
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Then once we start getting some definitive answers from the AT and the satellite, that's exactly what I'm going to do.  There's no way I'm going to allow you to live that experience on your own.....memory wise.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Clears the TR doors.::*XO*: I've jus' entered TR2, Sir.
 
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::tries to sense what just happened::  CMO:  What, what is it?
 
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::sighs:: *TO* Shuttle bay...
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Mouths a curse to himself.:: *XO*: On me way, sir.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Searches his face for a moment::  CO: A memory... out of now where of evil.  It was connected to a gauntlet.  The gauntlet had space for 6 gems.  One was orange.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Lugs the equipment back out of TR@ and back into the TL>::
 
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Do you believe it has any correlation to our current mission?
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
CO: Didn't the CSO's report mention gems and the people giving sacrifices to them?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Science Team has determined that the spy satellite has intercepted all transmissions from the archeologists and SF Command and from Earth to the archeologists
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Races into the shuttlebay, hoping that the XO hadn't been waiting long.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Lets roll ::begins undocking procedure::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CMO remembers being told of a terrible war which devastation the civilization many thousands of years ago leaving no survivors or traces of people and a burning image of six gems
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Loads the weapon and equipment packs onto the shuttle and boards.:: XO: ready.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::closes up the doors and heads out::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks back over the CSO's report::  CMO:  You are right.  I just wasn't putting the two together.  Now why in the galaxy would memories come to you like that?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda Shuttle leaves into the curtain of stars on course for the mysterious planet below
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: slowly shakes her head::  CO: Perhaps because some facts will not change.  I also seem to remember, and I have no idea where, that there was a war that l waged thousands of years ago, in the end, leaving no survivors or traces of the people.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::does several loops around the area scanning with the shuttle sensors::
 
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The shuttle scans the area, finding the space where the Romulan Scout ship landed and tracks from the scout ship to the archeological site and into the main temple
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@TO: We'll follow their tracks into the temple
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::sets the shuttle down outside the temple::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The shuttle soft lands outside the temple
 
TO_Lt_Knight says:
@::Nods the XO and readies a back pack for himself.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  All I can ask is that you piece together information as it comes to you.  Perhaps it's just part of the puzzle.
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
CO: And again, I see the gauntlet... somehow it was involved.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CMO sees a phrase in her mind's eye, in the ancient language which unscrambles into English Standard as "The Infinity War"
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Not really seeing him or her surroundings::  The Infinity War...
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  So should the AT be looking for some sort of gauntlet?  Is that the key to all of this?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The temple looms large in the morning light silent and daunting
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Opens the doors and grabs his rifle on the way out::
CMO_Knight-Sky says:
:: blinks as she returns to her surroundings::  CO: I am wondering if that is what you found before.  I would like to say no, leave it alone.  But if the Romulans are searching for it, I would rather have it in our hands, not theirs.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
@::Keeps his rifle and hand phasers primed and deploys a tricorder to scan.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::hits his commbadge::  *XO*:  Lt., I want you to be on the lookout for something that resembles a gauntlet.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
