Arcadia Station Mission #103
Stardate 10006.12

Host AGM_Dave says:
<<<<< RESUME MISSION>>>>>
CSO_Vekh says:
::is in ME pondering over the AXO's description of the Ferengi device::
AXO_JJ says:
::in Main Engineering finishing up his brief to those there and then listening to the CO's brief:: ALL in ME: I'm heading up towards Operations. You have your orders, carry them out report anything you come up with to me or the Captain, EO: Compile a damage report and send it to me. CMO: I can't do anything but wish you luck, I'll review records.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Sighs at the work that is ahead of him:: Self: I hate Autopsies.......::Beams himself to sickbay and the civilians into stasis chambers in the morgue::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::approaching the Ferengi vessel, hopes Jadis will be all right heading towards sickbay::
OPS_Danforth says:
::entering main engineering, still rubbing the knock on the head received by one of the rioters::  EO: Hello, Ensign.  Let's get cracking.
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Standing at his Station in OPS::
AXO_JJ says:
::gets ready to walk out, waits for any possible replies::
EO_McDuggle says:
AXO: already on it chief
CSO_Vekh says:
::approaches McDuggle:: EO: what the security cameras turned out, ensign?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Walks into the morgue to get the first body and sees the life signs of a Vulcan:: Self: What the? ::Opens the pod and finds the CNS::
CNS_Savar says:
::Begins re-animation... thoughts return... but things are missing:: CMO: What happened?  Why am I in this pod?
OPS_Danforth says:
::heads toward the computers to see about repairing them::
CNS_Savar says:
CMO:  I don't remember...
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CTO*:  Loran. status report.
AXO_JJ says:
ALL: Alright, get to work ::walks out of ME and into the corridor::
Host Magician_Joe says:
CTO: Arrest?  Is such a drastic measure necessary?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Grabs a medkit and scans Savar:: CNS: I Do not know...I just got to sickbay.....what do you remember...
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I remember being in here when some of the civilians broke in... the rest is just a haze of someone else's thoughts.
EO_McDuggle says:
CSO: the only thing that the cameras showed was the civilians holding their heads when the lights went out
OPS_Danforth says:
::scanning computer with tricorder::
AXO_JJ says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Operations.
Host Magician_Joe says:
::hears the CTO's commbadge and waits::
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to the magician:: Magician Joe: yes, it is. we have questions for you, and you could be the responsible for this riot. ::turns to Kuuk:: Kuuk:  Until further notice, you and your circus are under ship arrest.
CSO_Vekh says:
::ponders:: EO: This is rather intriguing. Do you know how this whole riot thing began?
CTO_Matt says:
*CO*: I am now at the magician's quarters, Sir.
CSO_Vekh says:
SELF: nothing makes sense so far
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CTO*: Good, take him back to the security offices. I'll be there shortly. ::detours to the TL to check on Ops::
SO_Washudoin says:
:: running some internal scans::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: Hmmm Interesting....here...first things first...::Braces the CNS and helps him to a biobed:: CNS: You need to rest for a few minutes....
CSO_Vekh says:
*SO*: Washudoin, this is Vekh. come in.
Host CO_Morgan says:
*AXO*: Claymore what is the status of the station?
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: Do I?  ::Looks over self, finding several bumps and bruises::
AXO_JJ says:
*Operations*: Start locking down the station, shut down the Promenade, all non-essential personal are to be confined to quarters, visitors are to return to their ships, but no ship is to leave
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: Perhaps you are correct...
EO_McDuggle says:
CSO: it seemed to start in the cargo bay after the magician read someone fortune
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO* : Washudoin here, sir.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: Just rest here...I'll bring up the sensor logs for this room.......
AXO_JJ says:
*CO*: I'm heading for Operations now sir, as far as I can tell things seem to have settled down some but there may be more behind the scenes going on... I'm keep watch for it
CSO_Vekh says:
EO: Magician? Can you access the sec cameras on the cargo bay for me?
Host DaiMon_Kuuk says:
CTO: Arrest us? That's crazy! I'm going to lodge a formal complaint with Starfleet!  You have no right to detain all of us! ::flails about wildly::
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Danforth how are you making out there
AXO_JJ says:
::TL stops... walks out and into Operations::
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Found something funny....
CNS_Savar says:
::Sits on the bed, and begins a light meditation::
OPS_Danforth says:
::motions for EO to join me::
Host Magician_Joe says:
CTO: Well, if I'm going with you, perhaps I should put some pants on first...::looks down::
CSO_Vekh says:
*SO*: Washudoin, I want you to make a complete electromagnetic scan of the station for any unusual energy readings. Also check the station's logs for the 6 hours prior to the start of the riot.
EO_McDuggle says:
CSO: bring them up now
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: There seems to be a small energy spike right here. :: points to tricorder readings::
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: what have you found :: moves over to where OPS is::
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: It's a section of memory we never access.
Host CO_Morgan says:
*AXO*: I'm heading for Ops myself. I'll meet you there. Keep on top of things until we figure out what happened. I also expect that we will be getting a lot of complaints from a lot of people who want to leave. Give them the usual story, and tell them I am unavailable at the moment.
SO_Washudoin says:
*CSO* Acknowledged.
CSO_Vekh says:
::watches the display of the scenes in cargo bay 5:: EO: that one with the spherical device is the magician?
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: It's barely readable, but there it is.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Goes and checks the sensor logs:: Self: Interesting ::Sees 6 civilians run in hit the CNS from behind and stick him into the stasis pod that Arman found him in:: CNS: When you feel up to it....come and take a look at this....
OPS_Danforth says:
::attempts to isolate spike::
AXO_JJ says:
::thinks about rolling eyes but doesn't:: *CO*: I'm on it sir
EO_McDuggle says:
CSO : yes that's the one
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Begins electromagnetic scan:
CNS_Savar says:
::Stands up and walks to the display:: CMO: Fascinating... I did not remember those events.
AXO_JJ says:
::looks around Operations, everyone already busy... especially Jones::
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: let me have the AXO look at this
SO_Washudoin says:
::Starts going over logs::
Host Magician_Joe says:
::goes and puts some baggy pants on::
CTO_Matt says:
::continues to look at Kuuk:: Kuuk: You have the right to lodge a formal complaint with Starfleet. But, until we get what just happened straightened out, we are not allowing any ships to depart, especially this one. ::turns to the magician::  Magician_Joe:  Do so, but, this door will stay open and you will remain within sight of at least two of my security guards.  ::motions for his security guards to enter the quarters::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: I suspect it happened rather quickly.....
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Wait a minute.
CSO_Vekh says:
::suspicious:: EO: thank you ensign. ::taps badge:: *AXO*: Sir I have an idea. What is the Ferengi thought maker device like?
OPS_Danforth says:
EO:  ::dramatic pause:: Look at this.
SO_Washudoin says:
Computer: access logs for 6 hours prior to the riots start.
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I suppose.  Since you have been around, what has happened?
Host Magician_Joe says:
::feels a bit embarrassed::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::exits TL and steps into Ops:: All: Status report. How is the computer system coming Danforth?
AXO_JJ says:
*CSO*: Specify Lt., what does it look like?
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir...I think we have something alive in the computer.
CSO_Vekh says:
*AXO*: You recently mentioned of a Ferengi device that could control a person's mind. How is it shaped?
EO_McDuggle says:
::looks at what OPS is showing him:: OPS : what do you make of it
Host Magician_Joe says:
CTO: OK, I am ready.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::stops looks over at Danforth::  OPS:  Alive?  What do you have, Lt.?
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: I think it's alive. I think we have a being of electromagnetic energy in our computers.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: There was a Ferengi circus, and a magician hypnotized a civilian...it all seemed quite harmless except that there was a fight that broke out and it got bigger and bigger, and when security went to brake it up, they were over powered and they lost control of their phasers....
AXO_JJ says:
::accesses visual file:: *CSO*: It's a sphere with a rim. Violet paneling, Silver shining surfaces as well
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The random energy spike moves into the main computer core and hides itself.
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: did you say alive
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: What is the situation at this time?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: I think the security need some serious training...things haven't been the same since Arconus left.....
OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::sudden realization:: Damn! Sorry, sir. The energy spike we were tracing moved into the main computer core and it's now hidden.
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to the magician:: Magician Joe: If you will excuse the inconvenience, but, I will have to have your hands bound behind you. ::motions to a security guard to do so::
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I would have to agree.
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Look at this ::displays seemingly random energy spike movements:: It's constantly staying ahead of me, and then suddenly moved into the core. I think it's sentient.
CSO_Vekh says:
*AXO*: Sir I just reviewed the logs of the riot on cargo bay 5, involving the Magician and he held a spherical device to supposedly read one's fortune. Then that person started the riot. Could the device be disguised as that 'crystal ball'?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: Dead civilians everywhere bleeding out of their ears due to a massive hemorrhage of their brain...it basically liquefied their brains....come to think of it...I need to do some autopsies...
AXO_JJ says:
::accesses docking controls and decides to lock them down and put an encryption code on them for safeties' sake::
Host CO_Morgan says:
OPS: Run a diagnostic on the system and run back the data loop for me ::moves over to the Ops station:: I'd like to see this thing for myself.
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I would assume that to be the logical course of action at this time.  Wonder what the captain wants me to do... ::Brings up briefing, not finding the name 'Counselor'::
Host Magician_Joe says:
::allows his hands to be bound and follows security. Notices how Kuuk has abandoned him::
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Do you think we could possible communicate with it
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Yes, sir. I'm sending up the data logs and visual to the OPS station now. ::transmitting data::
AXO_JJ says:
::looks back at the image:: *CSO*: I wouldn't describe it as anything put in some cases... Yes, inform the CTO that he has probable cause to search the Magician's quarters and scan the device
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: Everyone suspects a Ferengi mind controlling device...but wouldn't be able to control all those people for that long of time, and then do that much damage to their brains, with out leaving a massive energy signature...
SO_Washudoin says:
*CSO* I have picked up something you might want to see.
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: I don't know...how would you communicate with an electric being?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: You can give me a hand with the civilians..
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I could... but...
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Maybe a series of pulses forming a mathematical equation?
CSO_Vekh says:
*AXO*: Aye sir. *SO*: proceed ensign what do you have?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: but?
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: If this is a mind controlling device, I may be the best to deal with it.
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I have extreme Vulcan Mind training.
CSO_Vekh says:
*SO*: I'll join you in OPS in a while, Washudoin.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks on in interest at the recorded data:: AXO: Claymore, come take a look at this.
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The lights begin to pulse, almost like breathing or a heartbeat.
CTO_Matt says:
::leads the magician out of his quarters and the Ferengi ship towards security::
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: or possibly in computer bites like 0 and 1s
SO_Washudoin says:
*CSO* There seems to be some kind of energy spark that jumps into the civilian.
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: However, until the Capta... ::Looks up at lights::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: You are correct...I can perform the autopsies by my self...::He lowers his voice:: Just be careful, you'll see what this thing did to many civilians...no telling what it'll do to you
CSO_Vekh says:
::exits ME:: *CTO*: Lt Loran, I was told by the AXO to inform you that you should procure and apprehend a so called 'crystal ball' in possession of the magician. Please bring it for analysis.
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO* Sir, the EO and I were thinking of ways to communicate with the being. Maybe we could send out a series of electric impulses or binary code in the form of a mathematical formula and attempt to establish contact that way.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Curses in trill about being on the most broken down station in the fleet::
SO_Washudoin says:
*CSO* It seems to be coming from the Magicians ball, its very tiny.
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I will help you until the Captain contacts me.
CSO_Vekh says:
::enters TL:: TL: OPS, on the double.
OPS_Danforth says:
::begins tracing the cause of the flickering lights::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks up at the lights, thinks that can't be good:: *EO*: McDuggle are the engineers working on the power grid?
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: Since I am sure there are other methods they are trying at this time.
CSO_Vekh says:
*SO*: I see, I'll be there in a minute
OPS_Danforth says:
::hands fly over the control board::
AXO_JJ says:
::looks at the data:: CO: That's not standard, those energy readings would never come from the core
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: How many dead?
SO_Washudoin says:
*CSO* Understood sir.
EO_McDuggle says:
*CO * no Sir
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: Very well....we should get started though....
CTO_Matt says:
*CSO*: Will do, Vekh. ::stops the magician:: Magician Joe: Where is this 'crystal ball' that was spoken of?
CSO_Vekh says:
::enters OPS and rushes to the SO:: SO: show me what you got, ensign.
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The consoles in OPS begin flickering and running through library data.
Host CO_Morgan says:
AXO: Danforth thinks it may be alive. Notice how it seems to exhibit a sort of intelligence in avoid his attempts to track it down?
CSO_Vekh says:
::stares at the console:: SELF: What?
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Right here on the right side
Host CO_Morgan says:
*EO*: I was afraid of that.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: Too many......if its possible I do not want to mutilate all of them though....
OPS_Danforth says:
Self: Damn! *CO,AXO*: Sirs, we just ran a diagnostic on the lights and the core. ::dramatic pause:: Nothing. Everything comes up fine.
SO_Washudoin says:
Computer: Enhance picture, right corner, by 100 %
CSO_Vekh says:
::watches the display of the crystal ball:: SO: Is that tiny spark, and then the crystal ball goes dark??
Host CO_Morgan says:
*OPS*: See what you and McDuggle can come up with, but I want to figure out if its really alive before we do anything else.
AXO_JJ says:
CO: Possibly, but then again the directions it goes is more or less sporadic, it could be that our scans excite the energy sending it off in a certain direction
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.
EO_McDuggle says:
*CO* yes sir
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The consoles stop what they are doing and go dark.
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: It just barely caught my eye when I ran the EM scan with the logs
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: Where to begin?  And I thought we had non-invasive autopsy routines...
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Well, Jim.  What do you think?  Should we try to "talk" to it?
OPS_Danforth says:
::notices all consoles stopping::
CSO_Vekh says:
AXO: power surge on the consoles, sir. Unknown origin ::works on the console::
OPS_Danforth says:
All: Oh, no.
Host CO_Morgan says:
AXO:  There's that possibility too...but I am ...now what?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: We do...but the CO wants and needs answers......
AXO_JJ says:
Vekh: back off, it might blow
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
Computer: Beam the body in stasis pod 1-a onto the biobed in the morgue....
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: that about the only way I can think to prove that it is alive
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: You might have solved the mystery, Mr. Washudoin. ::turns to Claymore:: AXO: sir, could you take a look at this?
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A large eye appears on all of the consoles and an audible breathing sound can be heard over the comm speakers.
CNS_Savar says:
::Looks up at the comm speakers::
SO_Washudoin says:
::Resets log::
AXO_JJ says:
Operations: What the...
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Wow....
CSO_Vekh says:
AXO: I don't think so sir. It seems internal access only. It's running through the library data
CTO_Matt says:
::hears the breathing over the speakers as he waits for the magician's reply::
CNS_Savar says:
::Raises eyebrow and looks over at the CMO::
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, are you getting this up in OPS?
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks on in some surprise at the console:: AXO:  Still think its just random energy fluctuations?
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS : I'll second that
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Sir what's that :: in wonder::
CSO_Vekh says:
::looks around:: SO: can you determine where that's coming from?
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I would think it is alive...
Host CO_Morgan says:
*OPS*:  Affirmative.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Sees the body beam onto the bed and hears the breathing:: Self: What now? Computer: What is that noise? Actually I don't care...just mute it now!
Host Magician_Joe says:
CTO: ::a bit startled at what he hears::  It's still in my quarters.
AXO_JJ says:
CO: definitely not sir.. shall I try to lock out computer access?
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: I fear your tiny spark might be growing larger.
CNS_Savar says:
Computer: cancel last request.
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: I'm already on it
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, with your permission, the EO and I are going to try and "talk" to it.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Looks at the CNS::
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Shakes head::
CNS_Savar says:
CMO: I want to hear what it says.
CSO_Vekh says:
AXO: Sir, I believe the SO has found the origin of our problem
Host CO_Morgan says:
AXO: Go ahead and try, but I think its probably too late.
AXO_JJ says:
CSO: begin scans
OPS_Danforth says:
::turns to EO:: EO: Jim, let's get the portable generator and hook up one of the tricorders.  We'll send out a message that way.
Host CO_Morgan says:
*OPS*:  Permission granted, make the usual first contact overtures.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
CNS: Very well...but lets listen to it during the autopsy....
CNS_Savar says:
*CO*: Sir, do we have another life form in the computer system? I dealt with the last one and stand by to deal with this one, if so needed.
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The comm speakers crackle to life with a deep resonant voice.
CSO_Vekh says:
::hits console, almost in fury:: AXO: Sir, the computer is not responding. We cannot lock out the noise.
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Fine I'll get the generator
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: All my attempts wouldn't work.
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.  We're going to begin with mathematical equations and once we have a basic language, we'll...I guess we won't have to worry about it.
AXO_JJ says:
::walks towards a panel and tries to lock out computer access, accept for the Universal Translator:: CO: I'm leaving the universal translator open, it may help ::attempts to complete command::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::overhears Vekh:: CSO:  Well out with it, what did the SO find?
CTO_Matt says:
::motions for four security guards:: Security: You will proceed back to security with the prisoner and lock him in a cell. ::motions to the last two guards:: Two Guards: You two will come with me and help me look for this crystal ball. ::turns and heads back to the magician's quarters::
OPS_Danforth says:
::goes to get the portable generator anyway::
Host The_Voice says:
All:  ::sighs:: It is so nice to be back in a body again.
AXO_JJ says:
CO: nothing, we've lost control
CSO_Vekh says:
CSO: neither mines. Try to find a way to access the computers. Go to the computer core if you need to.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Scans the body for energy signatures...and runs a full spectral scan::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CNS*: Get down to ME and work with McDuggle, and Danforth to try and communicate.
AXO_JJ says:
::shocked at the voice's statement::
EO_McDuggle says:
::goes gets generator and brings back and starts hooking up tricorder::
OPS_Danforth says:
::thinks twice and grabs phaser rifles first for the EO and himself::
CNS_Savar says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.  ::Looks at the CMO with a look that conveys 'I'm sorry I can't help'::
CSO_Vekh says:
CO: Captain, Ens. Washudoin found a tiny energy spike of sorts jumping from the magician's crystal ball to the civilian who started the riot
CTO_Matt says:
::hears the voice but proceeds on his course::
OPS_Danforth says:
::hands phaser rifle to EO:: EO: Here, Jim. Just in case.
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Still tries finding source of sounds::
CNS_Savar says:
::Leaves Sickbay and takes the TL to ME::
OPS_Danforth says:
::bends down to help EO set up portable generator::
CSO_Vekh says:
CO: It is my belief that this could be an energy-based life form that spread to the other civilians as well
Host CO_Morgan says:
CSO: From the magician's crystal ball?
EO_McDuggle says:
::Takes phaser rifle:: OPS: good ideal
CTO_Matt says:
::the four security guards escort the magician back to security and place him in a cell::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::watches the CNS leaving sickbay and sighs cause the voice and breathing is giving him the creeps::
CSO_Vekh says:
::hears voice from the speakers:: CO: And Apparently it is now residing in our computers
CNS_Savar says:
::Enters ME:: EO/OPS: Gentlemen.  I am here to help.
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CTO*: Loran, have the magician and his crystal ball brought to Ops immediately.
AXO_JJ says:
*OPS*: report.. are you any closer to communicating with the life form?
CTO_Matt says:
::enters the magician's quarters and starts searching for the crystal ball::
OPS_Danforth says:
::tosses CNS a phaser rifle:: CNS: Welcome to the party, Savar.
CSO_Vekh says:
CO: Yes sir. That's what I said. The crystal ball could be the entity's way of transport from one place to another.
CNS_Savar says:
::Catches rifle questioningly::
CTO_Matt says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir. I am now looking for the crystal ball. However, the magician should be in a cell by now.
EO_McDuggle says:
CNS: just a precaution Sir
OPS_Danforth says:
*AXO*: Yes, Chief. The EO and I have started the portable generator and are hooking up the tricorder to it to generate basic mathematical equations. Should be running in a minute.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Looks at the readouts:: Self: Only a small trace of energy....::Takes a sample of the brain tissue and sticks it into the scanner and sets it to a full scan::
Host CO_Morgan says:
CSO: I figured out where it's residing already. I want to know how we get it out of the computer.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Sees that it will take over an hour to complete::
Host The_Voice says:
Morgan: I see you, Captain. Do you see me?
CSO_Vekh says:
CO: We are working on that sir. The computer interfaces are not allowing us to access.
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: How's it coming, Jim? Ready?
Host CO_Morgan says:
CSO: Have Washudoin start working on the Magicians crystal as soon as Loran gets it up hear.
AXO_JJ says:
::whispers:: *OPS*: A minute ago is preferable
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS : ready as it will ever be
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Returns the body back into the stasis chamber and activates it::
CTO_Matt says:
::finds the crystal ball and places it some cloth around and carries it in the makeshift bag back to security::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::looks over at the console and the eye:: Voice: In a manner of speaking...I certainly hear you. Who are you and what do you want?
OPS_Danforth says:
*AXO*: ::whispering:: We're ready to start now. Beginning transmissions. ::nods to EO to begin::
CSO_Vekh says:
CO: Aye sir ::turns:: SO: Ensign, you heard the captain. Contact Lt Loran and begin analysis of the device called 'crystal ball'
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO ::I'm on it.
EO_McDuggle says:
::starts transmission::
Host The_Voice says:
Morgan: Your questions are of no importance. I AM your station now and I know everything that your computer knows.
CSO_Vekh says:
::watches the conversation between Capt. Morgan and the 'Voice'::
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: I hope we are say the right thing
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Me, too.
AXO_JJ says:
::walks over to the Captain:: CO: might I suggest a small group of us transferring to the Hornet?
CNS_Savar says:
EO: Is he in the computer? Is there a way to deactivate the computer?
SO_Washudoin says:
:;touches commbadge:: Lt. Loran com in please.
Host CO_Morgan says:
Voice: So you've decided to take a second calling as a Federation space station.  Very noble. But calling you Arcadia seems a bit strange, is there something else we might call you. ::nods to Claymore to head for the Hornet::
CTO_Matt says:
::enters security, carrying the 'bag' with the crystal ball in it and tells the security guards to get the prisoner and follow him to Ops::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::The breathing that he heard was really creeping himself out:: Self: I don't like this ::Walks around sickbay:: Self: Come one Arman...compose yourself...this isn't Starfleet like, or Joined Trill like
CSO_Vekh says:
::readies himself in case the AXO call him to follow::
EO_McDuggle says:
CNS: yes Sir and we tried to
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The tricorders register a feedback pulse being fed into them.
CNS_Savar says:
EO: Oh. Never mind.
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Did you notice that?  We're getting feedback.
CSO_Vekh says:
::imputes some simple commands in the console, like asking the stardate::
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Can we translate it?
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: I'm getting a feed back pulse
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: sending it through the translators now
CNS_Savar says:
EO: Can we get to the computer core?
Host The_Voice says:
Morgan: What you call me is of no importance.  I will allow no carbon-based life forms to leave.
The_Voice is now known as AGMDave.
CSO_Vekh says:
::mutters:: SELF: all consoles are locked out
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The tricorders become hot to the touch.
OPS_Danforth says:
::waiting patiently::
AXO_JJ says:
::walks to a door then towards the closest Jefferies Tube:: Self: no unknown lifeform controlled turbolift for me ::enters Jefferies Tube and starts sliding to Deck 16::
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Watch out, Jim!
OPS_Danforth says:
::backing away from the generators::
EO_McDuggle says:
:: drops the tricorder::
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: did you got the crystal ball yet?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Walks into his office and turns on his computer just to see a blue eye looking at him::
Host The_Voice says:
Morgan: It was a carbon based life form that imprisoned me. I will act out my revenge now.
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Still waiting on CTO
CTO_Matt says:
::enters Ops, escorting the prisoner and carrying the 'bag'.  Looks around and sees the Captain, escorting the prisoner to him:: CO: Sir, here is the person and object you requested.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Runs out of his office::
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS : we need to shut the generator down
Host CO_Morgan says:
::uncongruently as a momentary wish to be silicon-base, pushes thought aside and settles back to the task at hand:: Voice: And just when were you imprisoned?
CNS_Savar says:
EO: Ensign! Can we get to the computer core!
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Shut it down then. *AXO* Sir, our little experiment isn't working. We're getting a power feedback.
EO_McDuggle says:
:: moves towards generator and shuts it down::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The automated intruder alert sounds and the internal security functions come online. The magician is shot with a phaser from the security system. He is dead.
SO_Washudoin says:
::Walks over and takes the Ball::
AXO_JJ says:
::gets out of the JT and walks towards the transverse deck and onto Deck 17:: *OPS*: Think of other ways
EO_McDuggle says:
CNS: we can try sir
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: Follow me, we'd better start the analysis outside OPS ::nods indicating the EYE in the viewers::
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO: Thank you. ::looks at the magician with a flat stare:: Joe: I take...::jumps back::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The tricorders and generator all melt.
SO_Washudoin says:
::Nods and follows CSO into TL::
CTO_Matt says:
::jumps back, protecting the crystal ball::
CNS_Savar says:
EO: Thank you. ::Shoulders rifle and heads off to core::
Host CO_Morgan says:
SO: Keep that thing safe, it may be the only thing that we have against this thing.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Taps his commbadge:: *CO* These eyes are really creeping me out....is there anything I can do to help get rid of them?
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS : well so much for that
CSO_Vekh says:
::walks to the turbolift but realizes the computer also controls them:: SO: On a second thought, this way, ensign ::indicates a Jeff Tube and crawls in::
AXO_JJ says:
::stands outside of the Hornet Airlock and makes sure there is nothing out of the ordinary.... enters the Hornet hesitantly::
SO_Washudoin says:
::Stands back ball cradled::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CMO*: Know any priests?
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
*CO* Very funny....what about a computer virus?
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Follows CSO into JT::
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: I guess so.
Host The_Voice says:
Morgan: I have been imprisoned since before your puny race was conceived.
CNS_Savar says:
::Enters the chamber for the computer core::
AXO_JJ says:
::hits a force field and bounces back::
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Now what?  Hmmmmm ::thinking::
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: Washudoin, do you know the Terran tale about a lamp and a genie?
Host CO_Morgan says:
::still crouching behind a console, out of the line of fire from the security systems::  Voice: Quite a while. I take it you haven't been doing a lot of thought self-reflection.
CSO_Vekh says:
::continues crawling down::
AXO_JJ says:
Self: humm ::walks towards a control panel and tries to access force field controls::
CNS_Savar says:
::Walks up to computer core::
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Yes somewhat.
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: can you see what we got from the translator and I will follow the CNS to the computer core and we will see what we can do there
Host CO_Morgan says:
::in a low voice:: CTO: Anyway to disable that phaser system without direct computer access?
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: What we need to determine is how to get this 'genie' back into this crystal ball ::exits JT in deck 10::
AXO_JJ says:
::computer access still blocked... takes the phaser in his belt:: Self: I'll fix it later  ::shoots at the force field generator::
CTO_Matt says:
::whispers to the CO:: CO: only way is to blast them with phaser fire.
OPS_Danforth says:
EO: Sure, Jim. ::works on the translator::
SO_Washudoin says:
::Follows behind :: CSO: That's a good way of putting it, I agree Sir.
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The force field Claymore shoots at goes down
CSO_Vekh says:
::motions for the SO to follow him to the Main SCI labs::
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO: I'd rather not do that unless its absolutely necessary. See if you can make it out of Ops, but stay low.
EO_McDuggle says:
OPS: Good:: follows the CNS towards the computer Core
AXO_JJ says:
Self: That's better ::walks towards the Hornet... carefully::
CNS_Savar says:
::Remembers what he did the last time the computer was infected::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Continues to pace around sickbay 'Freaking' out about the eyes on his console::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CMO*:  Doctor, see if you can get to the Hornet and help the XO out.
OPS_Danforth says:
::works feverishly on the system::
SO_Washudoin says:
::nods, and goes::
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: Now here is the trick, we should use only tools that are not hooked up in the computers, this way the 'genie' cannot determine what we are doing. Put the ball on that table ::points::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
*CO* Very well ::Leaves sickbay and keeps up a quick pace trying to get away from the eyes::
CTO_Matt says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Is there any place you want me to head, Sir?
Host The_Voice says:
Claymore: I would not recommend using that vessel, Mr. Claymore. I have access to the station's weapons.
CSO_Vekh says:
::goes to an annex room and bring a case of analysis tools::
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Places ball down gently, it rolls a little::
CNS_Savar says:
::Sits down close to the core and goes into a heavy telepathic state::
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: take care with that!
EO_McDuggle says:
::enters computer core: CNS: sir have any luck yet
Host CO_Morgan says:
CTO: Get to Vekh and Washudoin, and make sure that crystal stays safe. I believe its the key to getting rid of this thing if we can just figure out how.
CNS_Savar says:
::Savar's consciousness reaches out to the core... seeking the lifeform::
AXO_JJ says:
The_Voice: I would not attempt to shoot the station
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Reaches the Hornet's airlock and enters::
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Sorry sir. Little nervous.
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Crystal is fragile.
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: here, take this. It's a magneto-analyzer, try to read the device's internal structure with it.
CSO_Vekh says:
::forward tool to the 'nervous' Klingon::
Host The_Voice says:
Claymore: You do not need to shoot first, believe me.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Enters the nearest TL:: TL: Bridge....
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CSO*: Vekh, how is that analysis coming?
CNS_Savar says:
::Savar's consciousness floats towards a certain memory block... memory identifies it as life support::
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to the CO::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::points to two security guards to follow him and he starts to crawl across the floor towards the TL::
CSO_Vekh says:
::picks up a spectral analyzer and begin parallel scan::
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Yes sir. :: Takes tool and starts reading::
OPS_Danforth says:
*AXO*: Found something, Chief.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Steps onto the Hornet's bridge and sees the AXO::
CSO_Vekh says:
*CO*: Sir. Just starting Captain. We are attempting to determine how it works and see if we can re-call the entity into it.
AXO_JJ says:
::locks out computer access to the Hornet on all levels but keeps an open comm link through his comm badge:: The_Voice: Don't worry, we aren't trying to harm you, but you must understand we can't let you have the run of the station
OPS_Danforth says:
*AXO*: I can trace it to a large group of memory blocks... ::dramatic pause::...however it's lodged in the memory blocks linked to life support.
Host CO_Morgan says:
::stands up cautiously and looks back at the console:: *CSO*: See if you can access the computer data base on the Hornet and find any accounts about similar objects or beings.
EO_McDuggle says:
::takes out Padd and looks for a way to shut down weapons ::
AXO_JJ says:
*OPS*: Take it over with the Captain ::trying to make sure the lifeform doesn't find out::
CTO_Matt says:
*CSO*: Where are you located?
CSO_Vekh says:
*CO*: Right now, sir
CSO_Vekh says:
*CTO*: The SO and I are on Deck 10, Main SCI Labs analyzing the ball.
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: It's Austrian.
CTO_Matt says:
::exits the TL on Deck 10 and heads towards the main sci labs with his security guards::
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: My analysis turned out the same. No internal circuitry apparently ::ponders over this senseless situation::
AXO_JJ says:
::starts to talk more with the Voice:: Voice: You said you were glad to be in a new body... the station isn't much of a body you know, it would take you millenia to get around... just not find something else?
Host The_Voice says:
Claymore: But I am already in control. Here is a demonstration.
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: But how can a sentient energy life form be housed in a piece of glass? ::more to himself::
CNS_Savar says:
::Savar mentally checks out the lifeform, and backs off... great power...::
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The station fires a short phaser burst into the Hornet's bridge, causing a hull breach.
SO_Washudoin says:
::Looks at CSO, shrugs::
CSO_Vekh says:
::picks his SCI tricorder, enters personal code and attempts to access the Hornet's computer core with it::
AXO_JJ says:
CMO: Get force fields up ::holds on to the Captain's chair tightly::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Goes over to the replicator and is about to say "Coffee, black, hot" before the bridge shakes and he is thrown to the ground::
Host CO_Morgan says:
::stops in the middle of OPS and stares back at the eye on the main viewer:: Voice: What do you have against us? Or are you just out to destroy carbon-based life in revenge for the actions of one being? Weren't you a carbon-based lifeform once too?
CNS_Savar says:
::Attempts a mental connection to the EO, who is right there...:: ~EO: Shut down the core!  Shut down the core!~
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Maybe it need the crystal to function.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Gets up and holds onto a nearby chair tapping the controls trying to get the forcefield up::
EO_McDuggle says:
:: attempts to shut down the computer core::
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir...there is a way if worse comes to worse.
CTO_Matt says:
::enters the main sci lab, looking for the security phasers::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*Ops*:  Go ahead, I am open to suggestions?
CSO_Vekh says:
::turns to the SO and his insight:: SO: Washudoin, are you suggesting that the thing is still liked to this...'crystal ball'?
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: To gain power maybe. :: Looks up at CTO and nod at CSO::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
AXO: This isn't working...he could destroy us with a thought....he's only toying with us.....
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: The energy is located within a group of memory blocks. The only problem is that they are linked to the life support systems. It's a measure of last resort. I'm working on others.
CSO_Vekh says:
::sees Loran:: CTO: sir. Any update? ::nods::
AXO_JJ says:
CMO: good job.... Voice: why did you do that? you realize that if you kill us we'll stop cooperating. You can only kill a limited amount of people on this station, once that happens you'll have no one to do the maintenance work on the station... once that happens you'll only have a few hours left, the station needs constant watching by people
Host The_Voice says:
Morgan: I was, indeed. Times change.
EO_McDuggle says:
::knows that he should shut down the core but is unsure how to do it::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*OPS*: You are authorized to take whatever means necessary. Wipe the core if you have too.
CTO_Matt says:
CSO: No, none as of right now, except that the magician is dead.
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.
Host CO_Morgan says:
Voice: So you have forgotten what it was like to be alive.
CNS_Savar says:
::Wonders if the power of Calahan and Savar could fight the force..::
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Looks up at CTO:
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Everyone on the station can feel that the station seems to be moving, slowly.
CSO_Vekh says:
::frowns:: CTO: that's unfortunate. He could have helped us with this thing. So far it looks like a simple piece of Austrian crystal.
SO_Washudoin says:
::Rubs chin::
CSO_Vekh says:
::rather unemotional about the CTO's statement, as usual::
AXO_JJ says:
::points to the Conn:: CMO: Arman are we moving?
Host CO_Morgan says:
::feels the motion of the station::  *AXO*:  Claymore, where are we going?
CSO_Vekh says:
::reading from Hornets databank now. Searching for similar life forms as this one::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Goes and checks:: AXO: The station is moving...we are moving with it....
AXO_JJ says:
*CO*: Working on it.... CMO: put bear 0* 0* on screen
OPS_Danforth says:
::waves over to an ensign:: Ensign Lackey: Spread the word quickly. Everyone in evac suits. Now. NOW.
CTO_Matt says:
::nods to Vekh:: CSO: Yes, I'm sure he could, since the voice did say that he imprisoned him inside the ball.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Does as the AXO asked of him::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*CSO/CTO*: Vekh, get that crystal down to ME and see if Savar can figure something out with those vaunted Vulcan mental powers of his.
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Maybe there is something in his room we could use.
Host The_Voice says:
Morgan: I have not forgotten.
CSO_Vekh says:
CTO: That is exactly what we are attempting to do.
CNS_Savar says:
::Savar returns to his body::
OPS_Danforth says:
*CO*: Spreading the word now, sir...Everyone in evac suits or in the Hornet.
AXO_JJ says:
Voice: where are you taking us?
Host CO_Morgan says:
Voice:  Then why this desire to destroy?
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: interesting idea. Do you think you can get there and search his belongings for something? CTO: I think this is OK with you, Loran?
Host The_Voice says:
All: Why do you all ask endless, irrelevant questions?
CTO_Matt says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Sends a text message to the console on JJ's chair:: AXO: can we use a computer virus in the core to attack it? Or how about attacking different points on the station....it might confuse it....
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: I will go and see sir.
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Looks at CTO::
AXO_JJ says:
Voice: you're human, you know we're curious besides if you're wanting to go somewhere far away... why not transfer to this ship and go to Warp?
Host CO_Morgan says:
Voice: That's what carbon-based lifeforms do, seek to understand. Or have you forgotten that too?
AXO_JJ says:
::replies to Arman:: CMO: We shouldn't kill it unless it's the last resort, but work on it as best you can
CSO_Vekh says:
SO: Proceed then, ensign. Be careful to not put yourself under unnecessary danger
Host The_Voice says:
Claymore: I am not Human ::pauses:: I resent that.
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
AXO: Its either him or us....he has shown that he has no regard for our lives....
CTO_Matt says:
CSO: Yes, that sounds good. Maybe Savar could read the mind of the magician, even though he is dead. Maybe he could pull some memories from him before it is too late.
SO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Yes sir I'll try.
CSO_Vekh says:
CTO: Excellent idea, sir. There could be memories relative to this creature that got imprinted in the Magicians memory.
Host CO_Morgan says:
*AXO*: What is along our current heading in the way of planetary bodies with populations, current or ancient?
CNS_Savar says:
::Shakes self::
AXO_JJ says:
*CO*: Vulcan sir, we're heading for Vulcan ::looks down:: it will be a very long time before we reach it too
AXO_JJ says:
CMO: work on the virus, but don't release it
CTO_Matt says:
CSO: I'll send these security guards with you to get to Savar. I'll head back to Ops and get the body.
Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A warp bubble begins to form around the station and the crew can see through viewports the stars begin to streak by. An audible thrumming noise can be heard throughout the station.
Host CO_Morgan says:
*AXO*:  Vulcan, eh?  That begins to explain things...
AXO_JJ says:
*CO*: Are you getting the same readings we are?
SO_Washudoin says:
:: Starts to leave Main sci. lab grabs phaser::
MO_Calahan says:
::exits the lab:: Self: Great scott....::goes to a window::
CTO_Matt says:
::heads out of the main sci lab and to the TL, heading towards Ops::
OPS_Danforth says:
::sense of doom:: Self:  Oh, no....
Host CO_Morgan says:
Voice: So we're going home? And what will you do when we reach Vulcan?  Extract your vengeance on a people who died aeons ago?
CSO_Vekh says:
CTO: Aye, sir. I'll secure the ball ::catches the crystal and leave to the Computer core with SEC officers following::
CMO_Arman_Utoo says:
::Starts on the virus....programs it to isolate the "Being" in a non important section of the core::
SO_Washudoin says:
::looks at CSO,:: Walks out of main sci lab ::
EO_McDuggle says:
:: still trying to shut down core::
Host CO_Morgan says:
*AXO*: I haven't had readings on the screens since our friend took over, just eyes...
SO_Washudoin says:
::Heads for Ferengi sgip::
AXO_JJ says:
*CO*: I think we just went to warp... ::tails off at the end::
CNS_Savar says:
::Feels warp and wonders if this can be beaten... with anything...::
CSO_Vekh says:
*CNS*: Mr. Savar, your mental skills may be needed. What's your position?
Host The_Voice says:
Morgan: You are correct. Remind me to eliminate you for your own good. The whole galaxy shall know my wrath!
CNS_Savar says:
*CSO*: I'm in the computer core.
Host CO_Morgan says:
*AXO*: Acknowledged.  ::hopes they can figure out what to do before they get to Vulcan, Jadis will kill him if he let's something happen to it:: 
Host AGMDave says:
